|[back] 7th APPDA and the Land of Elephants, Maharajahs and Taj Mahal Ir. Sivaraman Kannan - 3 September 2009
7th APPDA and the Land of Elephants, Maharajahs and Taj Mahal
This year, the 7th Asia Pacific Parkinson's Association Symposium (APPDA) was held at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India on the 15th and 16th February 2009. When December 2008 was fast disappearing and January 2009 rapidly approaching, I began to get worried as to whether I would be able to make it for the symposium, as I was the only person registered at that point in time. Fortunately, with the blessings of all the angels on earth and in heaven, we managed to get a group of the Magnificent Seven comprising Gary and Theresa Prior, Sara Lew, Lisa Yap, Chew Bee Peng, Sosamma Mathews and myself to represent the Malaysian Parkinson's Disease Association at the Symposium. Since we had to go that far to New Delhi, and with Agra and Jaipur beckoning, we decided to dig deep into our pockets to continue our desert safari journey to that part of golden triangle after the symposium. It was a golden opportunity too good to be missed. We spent a total of 10 days in India.
We were also fortunate that our national airline, Malaysian Airlines (MAS), had answered our call for a special rate for our air tickets. For that, we would like to thank the management and staff of MAS for their kind support and generosity towards our association.
This symposium which was first organized by MPDA in 1997 in Kuala Lumpur, is a biennial symposium whose primary objectives are to create awareness of Parkinson's Disease in the community, and to disseminate information on the latest development of Parkinson's Disease. This year's theme in New Delhi is "Bringing Rhythm To Movements". It aim is to improve the quality of life among people with Parkinson's through knowledge, research and information. The 7th APPDA which was held simultaneously with the 2nd Asia and Oceanian Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Congress, was organized by the Neurosciences Centre of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. It was officiated by the Minister of Health & Family Welfare cum Government of NCT of Delhi, Mrs. Kiran Walia.
We arrived at the Indira Ghandi International Airport at around noon on 13th February 2009. Once out of the airport, amidst the road works, noise and fumes emanating from the vehicles passing by, we waited for our tour agent to pick us up to the hotel. It was quite a long wait though, which our tour guide later explained that it was due to the notorious traffic in New Delhi. Anyway, as we waited, Theresa settled herself on the seat of her 4 wheeled rollator while Sara grabbed a seat on the luggage trolley. When our tour van arrived, we had to hurry into the van, as waiting was not permitted in that area. Once comfortably seated on board the tour van, we were garlanded with flowers, Indian-style. It was really nice to be greeted in this manner.
Upon reaching our hotel in Karol Bagh, we quickly checked in and then headed off for our lunch We had heard so much about North Indian cuisines, and couldn't wait to savor the Tandoori Chicken, Nan, etc. We were also told to be careful with the food, as our stomach might not withstand the might of street food. So food at the restaurants became our preferred choice.
Karol Bagh is located in the heart of New Delhi. Just a walking distance away, is the Karol Bagh market, one of the oldest shopping areas in New Delhi. We had to walk through narrow alleys to traditional shops and stalls selling a variety of goods: trinkets, jewellery, saris, shoes, bags, etc. We had to put in some bargaining power for our purchases, especially from street vendors.
Have rollater will travel, and that was precisely what Theresa did. With the 4-wheeled rollater, she braved through crowds, busy roads, uneven grounds, and the length and breath of places we went.
Delhi is an overcrowded city with a population of over 18 million residents, and you are likely to meet all types of people in the streets. There are a lot of eager vendors trying to peddle their goods to us. Lisa even had her shoes polished by one of the shoe-shine boys on the streets.
There were many places that we visited in Delhi. We started the grand assault by making the Red Fort, a marvel built on red sandstone, as our first stop. To ensure victory, we put Theresa in front with her secret weapon disguised as a 4-wheeled rollater. The mighty Red Fort was explored in details in spite of Theresa and my limitations, being persons with Parkinson's. How else to see these wonders except on foot? This meant frequent rest breaks whenever we had got a chance before our knees buckled! Other places that we visited were the Humayun's Tomb, Old Delhi, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial, Qutab Minar, Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India, and many more.
The next day after our arrival in New Delhi, we headed off to the Habitat Center after breakfast, to attend the opening of the 7th APPDA. We had to leave early to avoid the morning traffic jam. Looking at the traffic in the busy part of Delhi, we were amazed at how close the vehicles drove next to each other, and yet got away unscathed. It appears that within the chaos lies some order.
We were among the early ones who arrived at the venue. About 300 comprising patients, caregivers, health professionals, doctors, nurses, students, and other allied workers attended the opening ceremony. We met up with old friends, and shared experiences with new found friends who are in the same situation as we are.
The topics that were delivered by the speakers were very informative, and helped the participants kept abreast with the latest development on Parkinson's disease. The response from the floor during the Q & A sessions was very animated with some amusing moments as well. The symposium also provided the opportunity for patient advocacy/support groups in the Asia Pacific region to meet and learn from each other on how to carry out activities for the benefits of their members.
We were happy that our meals at the symposium were served outdoor, at a beautiful lawn within the compound of the building. The weather was cool, the skies were blue, and the tables and chairs were beautifully covered with white cloths. A wide spread of food was served under equally beautiful white canopies. Just as we were about to sit down and eat our food, we noticed that the white table cloths were quickly dotted with tiny drops of yellow stuff. When we looked up above, we saw hundreds of birds flying above us, raining down mercilessly, showers of blessings onto us! There was really nowhere to run, so the diners continued eating nonchalant. I guess it provided us an opportunity to be at one with nature!
The Welcome Dinner on the first night was superb. It was held at the same venue, and all participants were given a taste of India. The place was transformed into a potpourri of lights, colours and sound. Truly India. Magical and unforgettable. Great theme and kudos to the organizers.
The next day after the symposium, we left New Delhi san Bee Peng who had to return to Kuala Lumpur. We hit the road to Agra, stopping along the way for our meals. The Lassi drink was our favourite, and we had it almost every meal. Soon Lassi drinks and fiery curries began to take their toll on some of us. Sara got knocked out with diarrhea before she reached Agra. Two days later, it was Theresa's turn. Fortunately, we were well-prepared with medications brought from home, and it didn't take long for them to recover.
We visited the Tomb of Mughai Emperor Akbar, Agra Fort, and Taj Mahal, etc. Taj Mahal is spectacular, deserving its place among the seven wonders of the world.
Once upon time, in Rajasthan, the maharajahs rode on elephants to move within and outside their huge palaces. To get a taste of the experience, we made a trip to Amber Fort, situated just outside the city of Jaipur, to enjoy the experience of riding on an elephant back. Riding an elephant isn't as easy as it looks. Lisa and Sosamma can hold testimony to that. They were horrified, and clung on to dear life when their rider turned Elephant Schumacher and put on "speed" overtaking one elephant after another. When they reached their destination, the rider asked from them extra tips because he had reached there faster than others who started off the same time as he did. Lisa paid and both scrambled down the elephant as quickly as they could, wondering when did they ever ask the rider to do a race in the first place!
Indeed the architecture in Jaipur is magnificent. Many of the structures have a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal influence. Shopping is great too. Sosamma had a gala time visiting sari shops, looking for good buys.
By the end of our trip, we were very thrilled with the places we visited. On the last day in India, Gary treated all of us to a scrumptious lunch at a lovely hotel for a change.
Thus ended our trip to India with a high note. The company was good and merry with a beautiful cool weather to boot. I hope that all of us will make it together again to the 8th APPA symposium in Taiwan in March 2011. I would like to thank everyone who went in the trip with me. Without them, I would not have gone on this trip.

BEDWORTH UNITED suffered their second Southern League, Western Division defeat inside four days when they went down 2-0 at Rushall Olympic last night.
It could have been a lot worse but for keeper David Clarke, who made a spate of fine saves to thwart an eager home attack.
Neil Kitching fired Rushall ahead on 13 minutes, while Richard Gardner's rasping 15-yarder just before the hour put the points beyond doubt. RUGBY TOWN left it late before snatching a share of the spoils from a 1-1 draw at Kings Lynn last night.
It looked glum for Billy Jeffrey's men when Jack Defty deservedly rifled the Linnets ahead on 13 minutes but Town battled to stay in contention and were rewarded with less than three minutes to go.
And it was experienced Rory Squire who was the hero as he swooped into a packed area to force the ball over the line from close range and net his side their second consecutive draw. ..SUPL:

A/N: Hey peoples! I know I haven't updated my other stories, but I'm waiting for reviews! And writer's block hath stricken me! XD I've had the idea of a PMD fic in my head for like three weeks, and I need to make room for the other ideas and inspirations to form in there, because the space is limited. It won't be the traditional 'Oh no, I'm a pokemon, but I was a human before!!' story, but it'll be kinda dark. No where near what other authors have done, but it will be sad every now and then. This'll be the Prologue, tell me what ya think!
Have you ever had one of those days where it seems like the world is out to get you? Where no matter what you do to try to fix things everything keeps crashing down? I have, and if you have too then try to relate to my tale.
I'm an only child, and so were my parents. That doesn't sound too bad, right? Well when you add the fact that your father is abusive, and your mother is the object of his wrath, do you get the picture? Then, one day, a group of rogue Houndoom show up at your house, and tear your parents apart. You end up witnessing their brutal murder, and are left to run for your life. Imagine your luck when you stumble upon a cave entrance hidden from sight by a bush on Sharpedo Bluff. You enter the cave, and low and behold, there are barrels of food, a small fountain of water, supplies for a fire, and beds set up, plus a wonderful view of the beach.
You decide to stay here, because I mean, who wouldn't?? Then you go to sleep, and are haunted by the images of your parents' lifeless corpses. When you wake up you breakdown and sob the entire night. Then, you hear footsteps…
That's what happened to me, and that was my bad day. Have you ever experienced a day as bad as this? I'm sure you have, I mean, even I have! My dad's beatings weren't only reserved for my mother…
I am Pixii Firesong, and this is my tale.
A/N: See? Not traditional! It's a little short for a prologue, but it'll do. Anymore, and it'll give away spoilers! Please tell me what you think!
Pixii out!

The brave new world is full of technological innovation. It's also full of people trying to grab onto the profits they generate. So when new products come out, companies holding patents that fringe on their concepts file lawsuits. Are many of these lawsuits frivolous? Sure. But defending against them racks up major expenses.
Discussions on patent trolling aren't new. But DevsBuild.It via Techdirt adds a particularly juicy interview into the conversation. Techdirt setup the story quickly by describing the complexity of the issue:
Once a startup crosses a certain threshold of success, the licensing demands start pouring in, followed by the lawsuit threats, followed by the tough choice between settling and fighting. And, of course, these are the kinds of patents that describe broad concepts without actually solving any problems, held by non-practicing entities who develop no products.
Therefore, if you have some seed money and a good idea, should you armor up with lawyers before hiring your first developer? Techdirt's anonymous source (they explain their reasons for keeping secret) seems to think so:
We've decided that rather than invest our scarce resources in patents, which have questionable protective value, we've just decided to invest in growing the business the best we can. Frankly these days it seems like it's more about having enough money to defend yourselves than it is about having defensible patents.

AWS cloud migration with PHI compliance for a large healthcare enterprise
After facing an infrastructure sprawl, the single largest financial and administrative healthcare network in the United States wanted to consolidate their data centers to improve scalability and reduce overall costs. Convinced with the cost and agility advantage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform they decided to migrate their application infrastructure as the next steps in the IT strategy. And now, they were looking for a robust technology partner to ensure seamless migration within stipulated time frame without hampering quality and productivity.
End-to-end migration from development, QA, staging to production
The usual choice of AWS comes to many healthcare companies because of the ease with which it helps them manage the huge volume of payer information and also in meeting the required compliance obligations.
The customer had a strong network of payers and providers built over a period of 30 years. Their platform connects virtually all private and government payers, claim-submitting providers and pharmacies in a hybrid cloud-based, and secure infrastructure environment. They now wanted to migrate all environments including development, QA, staging & production from their existing on-premise data centers to AWS cloud platform. They also wanted to ensure applications are Protected Health Information (PHI) compliant while enabling encryption of communications and data during storage & transmission. AWS platform has emerged as one of the secure platforms to store and process PHI data.
What should be our next steps asked the healthcare provider? How should we have it all chalked out for a get-set-go execution? Accion thus began the engagement to first explore the priorities of migration outlined. Why is the company migrating or planning a migration to cloud? Is it expecting management of larger volumes of data or is it because the company wants to offer new solutions and services. These answers provided clear objectives for the migration.
The next set of questions were aimed at getting the current technology environment map for the existing applications. This provided the depth and scale of legacy systems, third party tools etc that we had to migrate.
Accion held stakeholder discussions and deep dive sessions to build a solution that re-engineers & provides automation solutions for legacy applications coded in Windows scripts. The Agile development process was developed with 2-week sprints and 1 SCRUM team. This was followed by the constitution of a fully cross-functional Dev Ops team consistting of an onsite Project Manager, an onsite Lead Cloud Architect and offshore Dev Ops Engineers.
Accion also designed the roadmap for migration including Application Analysis, Cloud Architecture Design, Infrastructure Automation, Application Deployment, and Performance Testing. Assessment of AWS Sizing and Data migration efforts was also done. Recommendation of Data Transfer mechanism using Tsunami (OSS) for high-speed data transfer was done and continuous delivery pipelines for applications from development into production environment were developed.
If you are considering pros and cons of migrating to cloud, or are just interested in learning about best practices, Contact us for a free consultation.


text: iubas Posted November 5, 2018 Hi, this is something I've been struggling in the last editions I've played. When playing lower leagues there's always 1 day training lost because there are games on that day. This year's 2019 edition I just started a save with Leamington, and my schedule is always with 2 days of training instead of 3 since I'm having league games on Saturday. Could you please make something to work around this? Couldn't we simply have 3 days but not fixed by you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colour and design of actual packaging may vary slightly from those shown.
When you open your Moustache & Beard Wax tin for the first time, you'll notice the wax has a very hard consistency. Without the correct know-how, this can make application a little tricky. So to make it easier to get the wax out, we suggest warming the tin before application. By warming the tin, the wax will become malleable causing the shea butter and the oils within the wax to really come to the fore.
There are many ways you can warm the tin. Either use a hairdryer, leave it for a few moments on a radiator or warm vent or just keep the tin in your back pocket (this will help to keep the wax at just the right temperature for application even whilst you're on-the-go).
Once warmed, use the back of your index finger or thumb nail to scoop out the wax. A small half-pea-sized quantity is more than enough to begin with (don't start with too much, you can always add more later if required). Rub the wax between your thumb and forefinger to soften it further.
Once it has coated the pads of your thumb and finger and then you're ready to apply. Work through your cleansed and dried moustache. Style and comb as desired and add more for stronger styling.
Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact rinse with clean warm water.
Store in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children.

|George Town, 20 March 2018 - KDU Penang University College (KDU Penang) is in the running to be crowned the region's Hospitality Institution of the Year in the World Gourmet Summit 2018. The college university has been selected as one of five finalists for the title in the summit's Awards of Excellence accolade.
"We don't know who nominated us but we are honoured, said Cindy Loh, Head of Department for the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts at KDU Penang.
She added that KDU Penang's nomination for the prestigious title was by anonymous parties and the campus was also nominated last year.
"Our school is 26 years old and we were among the earliest ones to provide top notch hospitality training in Penang. Add that up with Penang's status as a global tourism destination and KDU Penang has been in the forefront of producing industry experts in the region," Loh added.
This year, KDU Penang will be up against four other institutions in Malaysia and Thailand who are also the finalist for the award, which is sponsored by Electrolux. World Gourmet Summit 2018 will happen on April 3 in Singapore. It was started in 1997 by the Singapore Tourism Board and organized by Peter Knipp Holdings Pte Ltd.

Simple Full Mon Esbat & Update
The last few months have been pretty chaotic and upsetting, but things feel like they're finally settling down into some semblance of normal again. Tonight was the first full moon esbast I've really been able to sit down and devote some time to since Yule. My mother got sick towards the end of last year, and died in January. Through the last couple of weeks of her life, we knew she was going to die, but we didn't expect it to happen so quickly. In any case, that has been the source of a lot of rumination, contemplation, questioning and general introspective inquiry for me over the last few months.
It's also been an interesting time for talking to my children. They're not little anymore, so discussions about in-dept spiritual concepts have a much different flavor to them now than they used to. It's interesting to see how their ideas about death, dying, the after;life and spirituality are unfolding and what they think about those concepts. It's also interesting to me how very different they are from each other with regard to their thought processes and general spiritual ideas.
I have been working on creating a little outdoor space in my yard lately; I repainted some old patio furniture and bought a lovely bright umbrella for the table. It's been nice to have diner outside, and gives me a pretty, dedicated space to meditate and/or commune with nature, especially when I feel like going outside at night. This evening was one such occasion; I brought my esbat journal and affirmation cards, incense and tea to my little spot and just bathed in the moonlight. Then I took a walk around my yard and mentally mapped out some future plans I'd like to implement for outdoor living spaces. The moon was so pretty and bright – I love walking around outside under the full moon!
I have been meaning to re-plant an herb garden, but haven't followed through with it for various reasons. After my mom crossed over, it seemed like a good time to make those plans blossom. As part of my grief self-care and healing process, I have been buying plants and herbs. I love green growing things; I'm not super great at keeping them alive past a certain point, but I really love them. It's been healing, because my mom had quite the green thumb and also loved her plants, so it's almost like sharing this with her. In addition to garden basics like basil, thyme, oregano, lavender and catnip, I added several variations of common varieties, like lime basil and purple basil; hot & spicy oregano; several varieties of mint (spearmint, sweet mint, peppermint and chocolate mint); and other staples like lemon balm and be balm, succulents, bell and jalapeno peppers, and quite a few greenery plants and flowers as well.
When my mom died, my aunt brought me a cabinet that belonged to my grandmother. She had been keeping it for my mom (who inherited it when my grandmother died). My grandmother collected all kinds of dolls, and the cabinet is where they lived. I re-purposed it into my herbal and apothecary cabinet, with the top housing my living room altar. It's been a long time since I've had a full altar in a public space in my house; my main altar is in my bedroom. Right now, it's just a generic altar, but I'm planing for it to become more of a family space. I'm sure that with time, it will take on a life of its own as we add to it.
I spent some time the other day making honey incense. It's been a long time since I've made incense; I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the process. It's really easy, and can basically be customized with either what you have on hand, or for specific purposes. I made a prosperity and protection blend for Beltane. This has a lovely sweet scent, and doesn't smoke a lot; it just kinda smolders, which is nice if you have allergies.
Homemade Springtime Prosperity & Protection honey incense
1 tsp comfrey leaf
1.5 tsp lavender flowers
1 tsp orange peel
.5 tsp fenugreek seed
2 white sage leaves
.75 tsp. frankincense powder
1 tsp copal tears
honey (aprox 1.5 tsp)
Grind all dry ingredients. I put everything in a mortar and grind with a pestle until the larger bits are about evenly sized, then move to an electric finder and give everything a spin – just enough to get a rough sand-like texture. Then pour into a small bowl and add honey, sparingly. You inky need enough honey to bind the ingredients together so they'll hold the ball shape. Roll and place on parchment paper to dry in a cool, dark place. You can use them immediately, but the are better when dried and aged. Burn by placing a ball onto a lot charcoal disc.
I've also been spending time with my cards. I read with the Medieval Scapini Tarot, and have been experimenting with different ways to read. This was a year forecast reading, which I've never attempted before. It will be interesting to see what unfolds in the coming months.
Brightest Blessings,
Pagan Afterlife: The Summerlands
I was reading Salem Witch Child's post from the Pagan Blog Project about the afterlife and how Pagans see it, and thought that I would round out some of my own thoughts on the subject.
I don't know what I believe about life after death – not concretely, anyway. I was raised to believe that death = death – a cessation of consciousness and all activity; that there was no 'soul' that lived on after death. I can see that as a viable alternative to the traditional Christian versions of living in a harp-filled Heaven or being tortured forever in a fiery Hell.
But it doesn't necessarily 'fit' my ideas, either.
I have said before that I have always felt drawn to ancient Egyptian culture, and that if I believed in reincarnation, that I most assuredly lived during that time. Wishful thinking? Maybe… but I don't think that it hurts anyone if I choose to believe that.
I sort of envision the Summerlands to be a misty or sunny day in the garden – tall enough so that my view is obstructed – the flowers and vines and fruits and vegetables have all of my attention. I am at peace, relaxed and my thoughts drift in a time and place where time has no meaning. I am free to daydream and contemplate things without any demands on my time or for my attention. I may be called, but can chose to answer or ignore the call as I like. Occasionally, others stop by – a presence that I am aware of more than a 'visitor' whose arrival and stay demands that I play hostess. It's more of an ethereal existence and interaction is both faster and slower – all consuming and requiring much less time, focus and effort to accomplish. And I am free to remain in that state until I am moved to leave it.
One reason why this idea fits for me is my relationship with my husband. We've known each other for most of our lives, and have been together as a couple for half of them. We do not struggle to be together; being together is far more natural than being apart. Our connection is deeper than just what could be accomplished in a mere decade or two of friendship and love – so where does that connection come from? And if we could have that sort of perfected connection in another realm, why would we choose to leave it?
I feel like the existence in the afterlife is somewhat solitary. I think there are cycles – you tend to be around the same spirits in your life again and again – and sometimes people may come into your life at different times during those cycles. There are a couple of people in my life now that I feel a connection to that is inexplicable – perhaps they have been in my life in previous cycles? I so think that those who are kindred are meant to be in each other's lives no matter the time and place. Travel and circumstances, acquaintances and people that you meet throughout the course of your life are there for a reason. I know that some of my best friends now are people that I met through people who are no longer a part of my life.
In any case, my ideas about what happens after I die are still forming. I am comfortable with not having a concrete answer to those questions at this time; I don't know how we can know for certain what happens after death without dying and I am not ready to leave this life yet. If we are reborn in cycles, then I do think that the idea that we have more to learn and living a variety of lives is the way to achieve that end. Whether the ultimate goal is some form of enlightenment or higher existence, I don't know, and don't know whether or not that has any bearing on my life at present (other than the need to fulfill my desire to continue learning).
What are your thoughts on the afterlife? What does it look life, what do you do there?
Brightest Blessings,

our story
Obsessive about design and all things handcrafted, Chris and Fiona are focused on creating commitment bands of a different sort. After discovering that they had both made their husbands' wedding bands, a question started forming: how can we create ring collections that offer a fresh take on men's commitment bands? The result was taking classic, timeless designs and infusing them with architecturally-inspired details and nods to industrial hardware and textured organic forms.

Bart Louw, Research Manager
Bart Louw is proud of the market analysis tool that he and his department developed for offices, shops and residential properties. This tool is an innovative and objective way to determine at which locations properties are most profitable from a particular risk profile.
From gut instinct to measurable quality factors'From gut instinct to measurable quality factors for real estate' - this is how he sums up the essence of the tool. 'We are able to give our discussions a more objective character. What are interesting investment opportunities? How can we select real estate from the different markets that will have an attractive and sustainable return?' Bart Louw: 'Thanks to this tool, we can identify market developments and we are able to respond to them'.
A weighted vision'On the basis of all that information, we can, for example, estimate the attractiveness of the investment climate for retail in Dutch municipalities. We continuously ask the following question: how do we improve the position of our portfolio and achieve optimal returns for our clients? Using a number of parameters, we determine the difference in potential returns between various retail locations. Think of it as a weighted vision of consumer spending, economic growth and population size that also includes characteristics of the real estate market, such as vacancy rate, potential rent, value risk and a diverse range of shops and experiential value'.
Determining opportunities'We can also use the tool to identify new developments in the market. What are interesting investment opportunities? How can we select real estate that will have an attractive and sustainable return? These are all questions that we can answer with the tool. Current investments are scrutinised to see whether they are still sufficiently profitable. Are they not? Then we can determine where opportunities still lie'.

Small penis humiliation phone sex for a little dick loser boy like you is probably the only attention you get. After all who would even let you get anywhere close to putting that pathetic little weenie of yours anywhere near them ?

General Home Safety Tips for Alzheimer's Care
Related MultimediaClick on an icon to view.
Changes that may need to be made throughout your home include:
- Display emergency numbers and your home address near all telephones.
- Use an answering machine when you cannot answer calls, and set it to turn on after the fewest number of rings possible. A person with Alzheimer's disease often may be unable to take messages or could become a victim of telephone exploitation. Turn ringers on low to avoid distraction and confusion. Put all portable and cell phones and equipment in a safe place so that they will not be easily lost.
- Install smoke alarms near all bedrooms; check their functioning and batteries frequently.
- Avoid the use of flammable and volatile compounds near gas water heaters. Do not store these materials in an area where a gas pilot light is used.
- Install secure locks on all outside doors and windows.
- Hide a spare house key outside in case the person with Alzheimer's disease locks you out of the house.
- Avoid the use of extension cords if possible by placing lamps and appliances close to electrical outlets. Tack extension cords to the baseboards of a room to avoid tripping.
- Cover unused outlets with childproof plugs.
- Place red tape around floor vents, radiators, and other heating devices to deter the person with Alzheimer's disease from standing on or touching a hot grid.
- Check all rooms for adequate lighting.
- Place light switches at the top and the bottom of stairs.
- Stairways should have at least one handrail that extends beyond the first and last steps. If possible, stairways should be carpeted or have safety grip strips.
- Keep all medications (prescription and over-the-counter) locked. Each bottle of prescription medicine should be clearly labeled with the patient's name, name of the drug, drug strength, dosage frequency, and expiration date. Child-resistant caps are available if needed.
- Keep all alcohol in a locked cabinet or out of reach of the person with Alzheimer's disease. Drinking alcohol can increase confusion.
- If smoking is permitted, monitor the person with Alzheimer's disease while he or she is smoking. Remove matches, lighters, cigarettes, and ashtrays and other means of smoking from view. This reduces potential fire hazards, and with these reminders out of sight, the person may forget the desire to smoke.
- Avoid clutter, which can create confusion and danger. Throw out/recycle newspapers and magazines regularly. Keep all walk areas free of furniture.
- Keep plastic bags out of reach. A person with Alzheimer's disease may choke or suffocate.
- Remove all guns or other weapons from the home, or safety proof them by installing safety locks or by removing ammunition and firing pins.
- Lock all power tools and machinery in the garage, workroom, or basement.
- Remove all poisonous plants from the home. Check with local nurseries or poison control centers for a list of poisonous plants.
- Keep fish tanks out of reach. The combination of glass, water, electrical pumps, and potentially poisonous aquatic life could be harmful to a curious person with Alzheimer's disease.
- Make sure all computer equipment and accessories, including electrical cords, are kept out of the way. If valuable documents or materials are stored on a home computer, protect the files with passwords. Consider monitoring the computer use of the person with Alzheimer's disease and installing software that screens for objectionable or offensive material on the Internet.

Thanksgiving Weekend with Gymboree/
Thanksgiving is such a cherished holiday here and we are thankful for many things but our kids are near the top of the list. They are caring, helpful, and lately have been asking some really good, tough questions. Each new stage has been better than the last in parenting them and we are incredibly grateful for each of them and their uniqueness. Even this picture below, really does capture Cairo and Kinsley's friendship. They love each other and both care for one another as cousins and for the most part, get along while playing together. Jake has been the best older cousin for Ezri. He will just sit beside her, play with her and constantly bring her new toys. She just smiles up at him beaming.
Being thankful for these children is something we are reminded of every day. There are hard moments or hard days when we feel tired or exhausted, but we are constantly challenged to truly give thanks for our children every day with grateful hearts. We are so thankful they are healthy, thankful they are curious and thankful that they love being with one another.
Our kids are all decked out in Gymboree's Fall line that was just released and I can see a few Christmas outfits already forming. Kinsley's velvet tiered dress with matching headband and shoes is just too much - I'm going to have to step up my dress game this year. And I think any little boy in a bowtie is just too much to handle, but Cairo, you wear it well!
Ezri is 10 months now and today, Chelsea called her our little sunshine. She does bring a little sun wherever she goes and for that we are THANKFUL. She is wearing this incredibly cozy ruffle feathersoft dress with light grey leggings and matching velvet bow flats with Kinsley. This will be her second Christmas but still will have bascially no clue what is going on but I'm sure will just be happy to be at the party.
And then there's Jake. He woke up early in the morning and whispered to Chelsea " Is it Thanksgiving today?" Jake loves every holiday and getting together with people to celebrate. His herringbone cardigan is the perfect sweater or jacket for fall. It will transition perfectly for winter and the button details are adorable. Jake loved the paper planes shirt underneath his sweater and the subtle airplanes keep the shirt clean and crisp while still adding a bit of childish playful design.
But, now that Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada has come and gone, basically we are ready for Christmas. However, I won't be telling my kids that, otherwise I will be hearing "How many more days until Christmas?" every single morning! Kinsley is ready for the cold with her new puffer jacket though. Chelsea and I will start our Christmas countdown today though (78 days). Is it too early for Christmas music? Just Joking #madeyousmile

"From the first page to the last, Cole Alpaugh had my attention," writes Michelle Hessling, Publisher of the Wayne Independent. "His zany and colorful characters and style of writing put me in mind of one of my favorite authors, John Irving. I suspect that I have found my next new favorite author."
Lennon Bagg's daughter has been stolen away by his ex-wife, and he's just learned the newspaper he reports for is bankrupt. While on his final assignment, Bagg knocks a policeman unconscious to save the life of a runaway circus bear, and suddenly finds himself responsible for a band of stranded roustabouts who've pitched their tents on a small island along the New Jersey shore. Eight hundred miles away, a young girl searches for her dead father on the beaches of Bermuda. Dead people, after all, become birds—a theory she derived from her mother's explanation that when you die, you grow wings and fly away. A hapless cult leader and the sulking newspaper reporter hatch a plan to save the circus, which includes a plane ride into the Bermuda Triangle accompanied by a man who holds the record for being struck by lightning. And it's starting to cloud up ... In The Bear in a Muddy Tutu, hope is something vigorously avoided because it usually means someone is about to be run over by a speeding car.
"Graceful Gracie wasn't always a dancing bear," says Alpaugh. "Years ago, I'd taken my oldest daughter to see a traveling circus. It was an old, broken down troupe with license plates from down south, but they had an enormous African elephant with a headdress made of pink ostrich feathers. One of the circus workers walked up and, for no apparent reason, cracked the elephant across the side of its head with a long wood bullhook. The bird flew away, and the elephant began to cry, as did my daughter. It made me want to tell the story."
Cole Alpaugh's newspaper career began in the early 80s. His most recent job was at a large daily in Central New Jersey. Cole also did work for two Manhattan-based news agencies, covering conflicts in Haiti, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Thailand and Cambodia. His work has appeared in dozens of magazines, as well as most newspapers in America, and won several national awards. Cole is currently a freelance photographer and writer living in Northeast Pennsylvania. Find Cole online at ColeAlpaugh.com.
The Bear in a Muddy Tutu is available in Kindle ($4.95) and print editions on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr and Amazon Japan.

Area volleyball roundup
By JOCELYN SHEETS
Register Sports Editor
On the line was the Lyon County League championship as Southern Coffey County High's Lady Titans stepped on the court at Lebo. Lebo, Olpe and Southern Coffey County had shots at winning it outright.
But — it ended up in a three-way tie at the top of the 2009 LCL volleyball standings, all 7-1. The Lady Titans beat Lebo 25-17, 25-22 then lost to Olpe 25-19, 25-19. Lebo defeated Olpe.
Southern Coffey County (28-3) had 42 set assists from Kristen Garland on the night. Shelby Birk had 16 kills, 10 came against Lebo. Laurie Ohl had 14 kills, four blocks and 11 digs. Sam Jacob had seven kills against Lebo. Kaitlin Meyer had 26 digs.
"I think the key for the win over Lebo was anytime there was a long volley we managed to come away with the point," said Korey Lankton, SCCH head coach. "We weren't ready to play and Olpe played some good volleyball."
Lankton said Ashton Gudenkauf had six kills on the night. He said his team was starting to have some balance with five good hitters."
Humboldt High's Lady Cubs were at Cherryvale Tuesday in Tri-Valley League play.
The Lady Cubs lost 25-21, 25-23 to Cherryvale. Brandi Malloy and Melissa Davidson each had four kills. Taylyn Wells served three aces and Amanda Maxton had six set assists.
Eureka beat Humboldt 25-12, 25-15. Hannah McCall had six kills and Davidson delivered four kills. Maxton had 11 assists.
"We did not get any wins but we probably played our best volleyball of the season," said Stephanie Middleton, Humboldt High head coach. "Our passing was very good and everyone was aggressive at the net."
At Fredonia Tuesday, Yates Center High's Wildcats dropped two decisions in Tri-Valley League play. Caney Valley beat Yates Center 25-14, 25-19.
"We played sluggishly. We have a lot of sickness but the girls gave it a good shot," said Dan Berg, YCHS head coach.
Daryean Estes served seven points, had three ace serves and two kills. Kassy Reynolds downed five kills and one block at the net and served one point. Drew Spencer had six set assists and one kill. Bri Crellin served two points and had one ace. Paige Steinforth served one point.
Fredonia beat Yates Center 25-10, 25-14. Serving two points each were Crellin, Reynolds, Estes and Autumn Douglass. Douglass and Reynolds had two ace serves. Spencer and Shannon Stoats each had one point on an ace. Reynolds had three kills and Alexa Stephenson had two kills.
Yates Center's junior varsity lost 25-15, 25-20 to Caney Valley and lost 25-7, 14-25, 15-5 to Fredonia. Shannon Staats had four kills. Estes had four aces and two kills. Crellin had two aces and Bailee Stuber had two set assists.
No reports came from Crest or Marmaton Valley.

After a rare week off, we're back to talk about The Last of Us, but before that: Mummies of the World, the season finales of Hannibal and Mad Men, Oz: The Great and Powerful, Joyland (and Anne's general dislike of Stephen King), PDX Yar's pirate night and Mads Mikkelsen in A Royal Affair.
In the Geek Week in Review: The secret of Roman concrete, ambulatory Egyptian statuary, the last Playstation 2 game, Nintendo's attempt(s) at open-world Zelda games, Microsoft's reversal of the Xbox One's draconian DRM crud and Penny Arcade completely whiffing it with the transgender community.
And finally, yes, (starting at the 1 hour & 42 minute mark) it's a bunch of Last of Us talk: Anne loved the game while Bill 'just' really liked it, but that doesn't keep us from yakking about the game's world building (and how much of that world building may've been ganked from Children of Men), whether or not Tess should've been the main character rather than Joel, "press X to pet awesome animal" and how great Ellie is in general.

41 Years of Cruising and Land Vacation Planning
I've spent the last 41 years helping people see the world, working to achieve a wide range of certifications and specializing in endless destinations. All of my experience aside, my main asset is my passion for everything travel.
My approach is a comprehensive one, and no task is too small, no itinerary too grand. I have the details covered and the perfect plan just waiting to be put into place:
- booking plane tickets
- crafting one-of-a-kind itineraries
- arranging for all the necessary travel documents
- tips to help youfinally get a first-hand glimpse of the far corners of the globe
When I'm not working I love to go on cruises, and many of the water-based trips I offer to my clients are ones I've been lucky enough to experience myself.
Cruising is a wonderful and relaxing way to see the world, and each trip – whether cruise only, with air, pre or post land package or other various options can be customized to fit your desired level of involvement.
Spend your honeymoon or family vacation relaxing pool side, explore the ships diverse menu of activities, or, when in port, explore a variety of coastal locales, all bundled into one worry-free trip.
Not all vacations are purely for relaxation. I'll never forget meeting one of my smallest clients, a little girl with a particularly aggressive form of cancer. She dreamed of a trip to Disneyworld, and I was on a mission to give her an experience beyond anything she could have imagined.
Together with the magic-makers at Disney, we took care of every detail and she was treated like royalty from the moment she arrived until the second she left. Words can't express the joy felt not only by her but by her very grateful parents. It was a priceless opportunity to change someone's life, and I'm so grateful I could use my knowledge and passion of travel to help.
Travel is full of surprises, but with my help, you'll never have to navigate unexpected bumps in the road alone. With each and every trip booked for all my clients, I anticipate creating a magical memory they will cherish for a lifetime.

OTTAWA—Longtime Conservative MP Tony Clement was forced out of his party caucus yesterday, the day after he admitted to sending someone sexually-explicit images and a video.
He said in a statement issued Tuesday evening that he had sent the images in the last three weeks to someone he believed to be a "consenting female," but who later demanded money if Clement didn't want them posted publicly.
Clement initially resigned only as the party's justice critic and from his committee roles; Conservative leader Andrew Scheer didn't ask him to leave the party caucus.
He said he was taking Clement at his word that the "terrible lapse in judgment" had been a one-time thing between two consenting adults.
But after the story broke, allegations washed over social media, largely from young women, that Clement's online behaviour was not so pure.
He's long been known to be a prolific user of social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram. Several people online yesterday said that Clement had used Instagram, in particular, to connect with numerous young women and message them privately.
He spent a lot of time clicking to show he liked their photos.
"New information became available today that suggest there are allegations that this is not an isolated incident and, therefore, I've asked Tony to resign from caucus and he has done so," Scheer said later in the day.
He said an internal party investigation hadn't started but that, or a Parliamentary one, was not out of the question.
Scheer added the Conservative party has a code of conduct for MPs that he expects them to follow.
"I don't know that too many people . . . have to be told not to share explicit images and videos with people that you haven't met but obviously this is a terrible decision, extremely poor judgment," Scheer said.
"We have to wait and see what happens in the short term as to what types of complaints officially are raised to obviously respond to that once it happens," he noted.
Of particular concern in Clement's case was the risk to national security when an MP with top security clearance opened himself up to an extortion attempt.
Clement was an original member of the new National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, created in 2017 to oversee national security and intelligence activities carried out across the government.
Scheer said both the RCMP and the security officials in the Privy Council Office were investigating to determine whether national security had been put at risk.

TBK Sensors
High sampling rates
The combination of high clock rates and short exposure times is unique in the market place. Only through the high measurement frequency fluctuations in production are made visible and the necessary density of information is provided for effective control of production.
Multi-color combination
To capture the overall contour with high precision, TBK sensors light up different contour regions with different laser colors. With this technology, overlapping areas can be differentially mapped and cross sections accurately generated. The use of different laser colors in the measurement frame is at the same time the indispensable basis for synchronous measurement.
Synchronous measurement
A specially developed camera control provides for absolutely simultaneous recordings of different contour areas. The influence of rapid lateral movements of the product on the precision of the measurement result is minimized.
Intelligent Calibration
During calibration, the position of the TBK sensors relative to each other is determined. Using recordings from a certified calibration unit the TBK computer control software determines the necessary parameters. With changeover of products neither mechanical adjustment nor re-calibration of the measuring system is necessary.

For your spiritual entertainment ~
~ Nisargadatta responding to questions
Dream occurs in objective, material, manifestation, in the consciousness. It is not you, it is something other – objective, material.
What you call "I Am" and birth, you are not that, it is material.
Suppose that there is a Muslim boy that I have adopted; I have not sired that boy, but
I now claim him as "my" boy. Like that, this "I Amness" is not directly me, it is something other, something material, something Muslim (in this context), I am not that.
I, the Absolute, have nothing to do with that.
People are sometimes confused because they expect an answer which is based on their concepts. You ask someone to bring you a spoon, and instead he brings you a needle. Both are words, both are knowledge, but that is not what you want. What you will receive is the true knowledge, even if what you are asking for is not the true knowledge.
Q: I must reach that level to be able to understand.
There are millions of grains, made into millions of forms, but the seed is only one. All these millions of forms are because of some particular seed, but I am not that seed.
The Ultimate knowledge does not have any knowledge. This knowledge "I Am" has appeared spontaneously, as a result of the body.
See it as it is, understand it as it is.
When the waking state is gone, sleep begins, when sleep is gone, the waking state begins. When both are gone, I am at home. Why did they leave me? Because it was all foreign, it was not me.
Take this advice: better not to be trapped in the spiritual knowledge business; have a nice time, a good life, be of service to others, and in due course, when the time is ripe, you will die.
(source: Nisargadatta, Prior to Consciousness, PDF file p. 111)
My Comment:
Nisargadatta uses the term knowledge to mean "to know something" and also to mean "the sense of being", or also "the sense of 'I Am'". In this statement: "The Ultimate knowledge does not have any knowledge. This knowledge 'I Am' has appeared spontaneously, as a result of the body." he is pointing us to the state of the Absolute which does not "know" Itself as a subject knows an object. That is why we have such difficulty realizing that our search is pointless as long as we are looking for something outside or other than ourselves.

For most other students summer is about the summer vacation, for MBA students it's the much hyped "SIP". It's all about wearing the corporate world lens and trying to connect the dots to get a clearer picture of what you studied in the first year of B-School. I was fortunate to be selected as a summer intern for Boston Scientific Corporation - a big name in the medical devices industry. Being an HR intern, I was based out of their India Corporate Office in Gurugram (The city was renamed during my stay there. I'll still call it Gurgaon anyway!). Although it wasn't my first time in NCR, It was my first in Gurgaon.
On the professional front, Boston Scientific Corporation is a great company to intern for. The company believes in caring and meaningful innovation. It's not a company which would make summer interns feel alienated. It takes utmost care of them too. I always got time even from the busiest senior leaders (both India & USA) when I required inputs for my projects. I was fortunate to get two very interesting projects and a guide who was extremely particular yet cool. I learnt a lot under him. At times,when I would feel that I am stuck or directionless, he would ask questions which would force me to put on my thinking cap and be right on track again. On day one, I freaked out when I understood the deliverables he wanted (they seemed impossible), but now as my projects are about to reach an end I am quite pleased with myself. It will be an understatement if I say the 8 weeks journey at BSC has been just enriching. It has been a wholesome experience.
Coming to my experience in the National Capital Region - The best part I love about it is the ease with which you can zig zag through Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh on a daily basis without realizing the boundaries. So it's like even though I was based out of one city, I got to explore others. For me Gurgaon is all about Cyber Hub, Sector 29, corporate offices and the occasional power cuts! I had always been warned about how bad Gurgaon is when it comes to women safety. But I am glad to say that, I didn't face anything unpleasant in my 8 weeks Stay. Gurgaon and its people treated me well. Maybe this was another stereotype which deserved to be broken. Delhi to me is all about Connaught Place, Hauz Khas, India Gate, piping hot tandoori momos and the lifeline of the city - its metro service (This is Spartaaa!). From street food to road side dhabas to fine dining, I found everything to satisfy my cravings here - right from kachori to chicken tikka to red velvet cake. Delhi and Gurgaon are very different yet very similar. Things which are common to both the cities despite their stark differences would be punjabi songs in cabs and auto-rickshaws, swanky cars, malls, pollution & of course the heat!
Summing up my 2 months stay - it has been great. I would like to thank my friends, fellow interns (who became friends in the course of the journey) with whom I explored numerous places and of course BSC as on organisation for spicing life up.

text: I've often wondered why some of my friends from highschool have managed to remain a vital part of my life and others, I have simply forgotten. Is it because of geographic distance? That can't be it - I lived hours from my best friend for four years. Is it because I have common interests with the friends who stuck around? Yes... but also no - our interests have changed many times throughout the years. Perhaps, the friends who have stuck around are the ones who I talk to most often. Except that I speak to my best friends maybe once a week while I see others who are merely acquaintances nearly every day.Read More

Whether you are selling your home or in the market for a new one there is no more important "link in the chain" than your real estate agent. This is the person that can make it all happen and is your ambassador to the many other parties that will be involved with the transaction. There's a lot more to know when buying or selling a home than you are probably aware of and finding the right agent is critical. The question is how do you find an agent that will meet your expectations?
I suggest using the same methods that you would normally use when making other big financial decisions in your life; do your research and don't be afraid to ask friends and relatives if they can refer someone to you. If you were searching for a good stockbroker or looking to purchase a new car you wouldn't just go with the first person you met, right? Buying or selling a home is certainly no less important and due diligence on your part is a necessity. Here are 5 more points to consider before making your final decision:
1. Locate the right specialist.
Many real estate agents specialize in different segments of the market and may be more qualified at some things while less qualified at others. Perhaps one agent has a lot of experience working with short sales or foreclosures while another has worked a lot with seniors. Yet another agent may be a wise choice for sellers but not so experienced working with 1st time buyers. Choose your agent based on your particular needs.
2. Local experience is a must
If you are dealing with a small brokerage than chances are good that your agent knows the area that you are interested in very well. If, however, you are working with a large brokerage with many agents, be sure to request an agent that is familiar with the exact area you are interested in or where you are selling your own home. This type of knowledge and experience will be of great help to you and could save a lot of time and trouble for everyone involved.
3. Search for rewards and signs of industry recognition
This is a great time to do a Google search for a list of agents in your area of interest. Although there are many good agents that may be new or have not received awards from their industry peers, such accolades may be a sign that a particular agent has a high standing in the community and might be an excellent choice for you.
4. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
Retaining the services of an agent is no different than hiring an employee in a business. It's important to ask the right questions and be specific. Some examples of which questions to ask are below but remember to ask questions that apply to your particular circumstances.
Are you working full-time or part-time?
How long have you been in business?
What niche do you specialize in?
5. Finally, explain exactly what you expect from the agent that you choose.
Do you expect an update call every day? - tell them. Do you want an opinion as to whether your selling price or purchase price is reasonable? – be sure to ask. The point here is that you can't expect excellent service from your new agent unless they understand exactly what it is that you expect from them. Communication is the key so be sure to explain all of your concerns and expectations before making the final decision.

- 1. Put tomatoes in a bowl. Add onion, garlic, cilantro and salt as desired. Remember *you can always add more but can't take any away* Add in small amounts. Also remember the garlic gets stronger overnight, so adjust seasonings accordingly.
Recipe Notes
Many people use a hot pepper such as jalapeno in their salsa. I like my salsa to get its kick from the garlic.

You will shortly be capable to attract on the environment about you and shoot back-and-forth Instagram Boomerang GIFs with the Fb Camera. Bringing more creative tools to the Fb Camera could make it a a lot more popular spot to shoot articles and assist the corporation contend with Snapchat.
"We required to give people an straightforward way to generate with augmented truth and attract in the environment about them" states John Barnett, a Fb Camera Products Manager about the feature it phone calls "3D drawing". It's rolling out to users about the coming months. Matt Navarra to start with noticed the options.
With AR drawing, you can scribble on the environment about you, then transfer your digicam and see the markings stay in spot. It's a enjoyment way to incorporate graffiti that only exists inside of your monitor. You can incorporate the drawings prior to or though you're recording, allowing you to attract on anything out of body, then pan or unzoom to expose it. Fb will inevitably incorporate a lot more brushes past the pastel gradient colors seen here.
Fb tells me the know-how understands the corners and objects in the home to generate a 3D spec. Fb could that use that to detect surfaces like walls and tables to wrap the drawing on to them. At present, it only does that when it is self-confident about the object recognition, these kinds of as in optimum light situations.
Considering that drawing is a universal language, the feature could make AR straightforward to use for young users and World wide web novices. Fb introduced its AR results at F8 past April, and has a short while ago extra AR tracker target ordeals that are activated by genuine-environment posters or QR codes. It all started out with the corporation acquiring fledgling AR masks startup MSQRD in 2016.
Fb extra looping GIF development to the Fb Camera a calendar year ago, but individuals can feel a little bit jarring since they begin back at the commencing once they end. Some users no for a longer period have that GIF solution, so it is most likely currently being replaced by Boomerang's founded model and a lot more silky back-and-forth animated video clip clips. Fb confirms that this feature is now rolling out to the Fb Camera.
As we claimed past week, Fb is determined to make Stories perform. Regardless of the criticism of it currently being a rip-off of Snapchat and redundant presented Instagram Stories, Fb is making an attempt new approaches to make Stories a lot more popular an accessible. That consists of exams of Stories as the default vacation spot for articles shot with the Fb Camera, displaying even bigger tiles with previews of Stories atop the Information Feed, and displaying a digicam and digicam roll preview window when you open the standing composer. Individuals, blended with these new options, could give Fb Stories a boost in utility and visibility.
Fb believes social media is on an inevitable journey from text to shots to video clips to Stories outfitted with augmented truth. Considering that Snapchat refused its acquisition features, Fb is now on a quest to evolve into an AR corporation rather than obtaining to acquire a massive 1. It stays to be seen regardless of whether users assume AR is a novelty or a main utility, but Fb won't wait to find out.

Progress on the van build has been slow but steady. I've been working on this thing for about a year, and it's almost done. Progress has been stifled somewhat by a combination of scheduling conflicts, extreme weather, and the laziness that is inherent to all computer programmers.
This update is for those of you who do not follow my build on YouTube. I update that far more often, for some reason.
Looks like my last update was in February. I was working on the superstructure at the time. I have long since finished it, including the dinette and side cabinets. Continue reading "Van Build Progress Update"

Coming to the End
"Follow me," said The Lord. "Where are you going?" I asked. "To the grave."
Dying to self is really the only way be truly productive and fruitful in the Kingdom of God. We think that the only way to die to ourselves is by relocating to the slums of India or preaching to the jungles of Ecuador. The reality is that dying to self is done in the daily mundane decisions of life which might include:
-Giving up your busily planned Saturday to knock on doors in an outreach.
-Choosing to not purchase that shiny trinket so you can go on an impact team or give an offering.
-Deciding to join yourself to a body of believers (no matter how small), being accountable, rather than existing in sweet isolation and comfort.
The greatness of resurrection life and power cannot happen without a corpse. Death to self is the key that unlocks the power of God in your life.
What is still in your life that needs to die?

Little rain droplets in early March could not dampen the cheerful mood during Kelli and Alex's Downtown Bryan wedding at the LaSalle Hotel. Kelli was accompanied by 4 of her bridesmaids in an awesome room in the historic hotel. As you can see champagne and pillow fights ensued! Alex and his groomsmen looked absolutely dapper as we took portraits outside and in the bar area (which we had to ourselves!) Although the ceremony was initially planned to be performed outside, the hotel had a cozy room perfect for the location. Afterwards the wedding party moved to Cafe Capri also in downtown where the couple and their close friends and family danced the night away!
Congratulations Kelli & Alex!
