"The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people." -Richard Foster
God wants to free people from fear. He wants to raise up His bride to embrace all He has in this new season. One of the ways He wants to equip people to step into all that He has is to bring a resurgence of what has been overlooked, forgotten, abused, broken, misunderstood, or misappropriated. God is raising up an army of lovers who will go anywhere and do anything for him. When I hear people say that they want to be like Heidi Baker, John Wesley, Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Carrie Judd Montgomery, Rees Howells, Saint Francis of Assisi, or even Jesus, I encourage them to follow in their footsteps and embrace the things they embraced. These all practiced spiritual disciplines. They all lived with their lamps full of oil. They all regularly positioned themselves to step into all that God has by integrating the spiritual disciplines into their daily lives. If we want to walk in same authority, dominion, power, love, intimacy as these, a good start is to discover and tap into similar wells where they found life.
Purpose of Spiritual Disciplines
Spiritual disciplines are for the purpose of knowing God. We practice spiritual disciplines so that we can live deep within the heart of God. We commit to walk the path of spiritual disciplines so that we can choose God first and feast upon Him. I regularly go to the lake and spend time waiting on God, being with Him, reading His Word, playing with Him, or simply resting in Him. I long to be with Him alone. No one else and nothing else can ever satisfy. Choosing to embrace the disciplines will help position us to be with the One we love. Contending for space with the living God for the sole purpose of communing with Him is invaluable.
Richard Foster says in his Celebration of Discipline that "The purpose of the Disciplines is liberation from the stifling slavery to self-interest and fear. When the inner spirit is liberated from all that weighs it down, it can hardly be described as dull drudgery. Singing, dancing, even shouting characterize the Disciplines of the spiritual life!"*Spiritual disciplines, including prayer, meditation, fasting, reading the Word, worship, and community help us to align our lives more with heaven. The disciplines are an invitation to explore the hidden crevices of the Father's heart. This world is crying out for deep people who can live from a place of interwoveness with the Creator. Foster says that "The classical Disciplines of the spiritual life call us to move beyond surface living into the depths."* There is so much more of the Father's heart to explore and the disciplines simply help take us on that journey.
Everyone connects with God differently according to their personality and how they are wired. Some people connect with God in nature or in silence while others connect with Him during activity or through music or dance. Practicing the disciplines helps everyone, regardless of how they are wired, tap into a greater measure of the heart of God.
The Spiritual Disciplines
- Deepen our connection with God
- Bring us into greater union with God
- Invite us to feast upon God
- Position us to hear God's voice
- Align us to receive God's blessings
- Prepare us to step into the kingdom
- Keep our lamps full of oil
Spiritual Disciplines Release Freedom
The Spiritual disciplines are intended to bring freedom and liberation. The motivation should always be a longing to know God more (Psalm 42:1-2). The disciplines bring focus, self-control, and pave the way to walk on the highway of holiness. It is the pure in heart that see God. The disciplines also can act as a purifying fire. While there is always the danger of the disciplines degenerating into law and empty ritualistic practice, fear of this happening should not be greater than the drive to take hold of the King of kings by positioning ourselves in front of His throne. The disciplines help us do just that.
Some people confuse the disciplines with striving or trying to manipulate or control God when in reality that could not be farther from the truth. While only God can grow us spiritually, there are things we can do to prepare and cultivate our lives to invite this. One helpful example of explaining spiritual disciplines is likening it to farming. A farmer can't make the seeds grow. However, he can plant the seeds, cultivate the ground, water the crops and create an environment that invites this growth. When the sun shines and the rain comes, saturating what he has cultivated, life springs forth (Galatians 5:22-25). The same is true for us. We all have seeds of destiny deposited in our hearts. As we cultivate and tend to our hearts by practicing the disciplines and thus positioning ourselves under the waterfall of God's grace, when the outpouring comes, we are ready to receive. The floods will cause our dreams to spring forth (Isaiah 61:11).
Another benefit of the disciplines can be likened to training for sports. Athletes don't win gold medals by sitting at home and watching television. They train their bodies for the big race. Similarly, spiritual disciplines can also act as spiritual training for us to be ready to advance the kingdom of God. Because we have been building our spiritual muscles and regularly filling our lamps with oil, we will be ready to set the oppressed free, tear down demonic strongholds, release healing, and love the broken when the need arises.
Freedom to Soar in His Presence
If you have been under an oppressive system of law rather than love and grace or have run from the spiritual disciplines because you have been wounded by their inappropriate and legalistic implementation, today is your day to be set free. I invite you to no longer react out of fear. God wants time with you. It takes discipline to set aside and guard time for Him alone. You will have to fight a million battles to protect your time with God. Discipline will help you win those battles. Discipline is not intended to imprison you but instead to bind you to Christ Himself. Motivated through your relationship with Christ and by following the leading of the Spirit, may God use the spiritual disciplines to free you to fully explore and dive even deeper into the heart of God. I release you from fear in Jesus' name. I release grace to forgive those who have hurt you through legalism. I impart courage to dive into a new world of forsaking all other lovers. Today, I invite you to be compelled to set everything aside for the sole purpose of beholding Jesus.
"Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple."
Psalm 27

I've been making road trips since I was only months old. As a baby my parents would pack me up and drive the hour or so to New York to make sure I saw family who didn't live in the same town. Sometimes we stayed the whole weekend. Sometimes it was just for Sunday dinner. Every Palm Sunday. Every Christmas Eve. For years I'd be willing to bet I was in the car more often than I was home.
Then I got older, went to college (in New York only minutes from the family I was always traveling to see), met a boy… and spent every other weekend traveling to West Virginia. Doh!
After we moved to Richmond together those road trips turned into 4-6 hour drives (one lucky time it was 10, but that's a story for another day) each way just to visit family. Seven years of that and I'm pretty sure you can call me a pro now.
So today I am going to share my absolute favorite road trip tips with you! But before I do, I'd like you to know that these all came from years of traveling with my dad whose birthday is today.
Happy Birthday, Dad! I learned everything I know from you.
"Did you grab enough water?"
Unless you packed the entire case – or at least half – of water bottles, the answer is no. OK that's an exaggeration, but my dad always grabs one for the way there and one for the way home… for each person in the car. For a one hour trip.
I used to think this was overkill until I realized that aiming to drink both bottles of water before getting home helped me to feel so much better! Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, and digestive problems to name a few. Not exactly how you want to feel while stuck in a car. And bonus: properly hydrating before meals can help you feel fuller longer so you might not overeat all the amazing food that's waiting for you. How often do you forget to hydrate while you're traveling or even just busy? Just pack the whole damn case and drink the water.
"What snacks did you pack?"
I know everyone thinks the word "hangry" was invented because of him or her, but it wasn't. It was created after my father and me. Have you ever been hungry, stuck in the middle of the Verrazano Bridge on the way to dinner, in sideways rain, in standstill traffic, at least an hour from food? We have. It wasn't pretty.
Now we bring snacks. Protein bars. Apples. Bananas. Nuts. Pack light and nutritious snacks that won't keep you from enjoying all the amazing food that's waiting for you, but will keep you from yelling like lunatics at each other because you're hungry.
"I want to listen to The Little Mermaid!"
Way before cars had TVs built into the backs of headrests, I was a little girl who loved The Little Mermaid. I LOVED The Little Mermaid. Like, watch it on a loop all day long, loved The Little Mermaid. So before we took a trip from New Jersey to North Carolina, my father wired the VHS to the stereo to make a cassette tape (do people even know what these things are anymore?) so that I could LISTEN to my movie while we drove. It worked so well he did that for all my Disney movies.
Life is SO much easier for you now. Grab a book on tape (Audible is awesome) or make a rockin' playlist so you don't have to talk to anyone else in the car. (I'm kidding! But really… if you're driving and you want everyone else to fall asleep put an AM radio broadcast of a baseball game on. ZzZzZzZz)
"What's Up?"
Sometimes traffic sucks. Sometimes the trips are longer than you want them to be. Sometimes you're tired. Sometimes you're mad. Sometimes in the middle of it all you wish you had just stayed home. But there's never a better time to just catch up and chat with the people you love (or are stuck in the car with). So ask them how it's going. Sing. Laugh. Be. And hope that when you get where you're going there's good food and good company.
Happy birthday, Daddy!

The evil eye (also called Malochia, being crossed, or eye biting) is a very common spiritual affliction. Some version of this phenomena is known in nearly every culture, it's so widespread that it even makes an appearance in the Bible. In essence, the evil eye is an unintentional curse.
This is a very important point, the evil eye is nearly always unintentional! Because of this, the approach needed to remove it is very different from a curse. The evil eye happens when a person who has the ability feels a strong negative emotion, typically envy or jealousy but also occasionally anger. This intense negative energy is projected onto the person that they're feeling negatively about through the gaze.
The symptoms of this condition usually begin with a headache. Often a dull ache in the head can follow the encounter where the eye biting occurred within 10 minutes. Sufferers of this condition are also likely to experience fatigue, feeling mentally foggy, or suddenly becoming prone to clumsiness, dropping things, or minor accidents.
Prolonged or repeated exposure to the evil eye can result in more severe headaches or migraines, chronic fatigue, and accidents that become more severe as time goes on. If you can decipher who is casting the evil eye upon you, you can protect yourself from them and relieve this spiritual ailment quite easily.
Getting rid of the evil eye is quite simple. A cleansing bath is ideal but using any of the cleansing methods from the Level 1 Defensive Magic course will also work. You simply need to remove the negative energy that was thrown at you, because it was not intentional it will be far less resistant to cleansing than an intentional attack would be.
After this, you should take the time to replenish yourself with a positive energy. Play upbeat music, eat food that you love and makes you feel good, go for a walk in nature, or practice any form of self-love that you enjoy.
Finally, using a protective spell or charm to prevent future instances of eye biting is a good idea. If you use an amulet or talisman and it breaks or falls off DO NOT pick it up. This means that it has done its work and has intercepted the evil eye, picking it up can transfer the energy to you. Replace the charm immediately but do not pick up the fallen one.
This particular spiritual danger can be quite unpleasant because the source is often someone quite close to us. While the evil eye can be cast between any two people it's most commonly cast between friends, married couples, and parents to their children. This makes repeated exposure quite likely. Most people who have this ability are not aware of what they do, if the person is amicable to this sort of thing you can try to talk to them about it so they can prevent themselves from eye biting in the future but if this is not a possibility then regular cleansing and protection will allow you to maintain a healthy and comfortable relationship with this person regardless, at least on a spiritual level.

The anatomy of presenting a plan...
If you are in business (or any organization for that matter) you may find yourself presenting your plan to someone (or many someones) — in fact it may start with something that sounds like this...
"We really want to step change the business so I want you to develop a plan and present it to me and the team in a month — and to stimulate your thinking this is the stretch goal I want to hit next year <insert big goal>. You will have an hour to present.
Let me know if there are any questions and I look forward to your presentation - see ya."
As you shake your head at the supposed "stretch goal" — you then get down to work because the clock is now ticking and a month goes very quickly.
Although I appreciate there are many ways to present I will go out on a limb and suggest most leaders are looking for a slide deck with someone presenting at the front of the room or at the very least on a webinar. With that said, I present to you the anatomy of what I believe to be an effective presentation to get your point across, and more importantly, get buy-in.
The First Slide —
This is the title slide which indicates what your presentation is about and who you are. Don't assume that everyone who is listening knows who you are.
The Second Slide —
This slide sets the tone of your presentation and frames up the three things that the presentation is about:
Your Vision — a statement that looks into the future at least three years and defines a desired future state of what your plan is working to achieve.
Your Goal — In the largest font you can afford, show the financial goal you are working to achieve with the plan.
Your Strategies to achieve your goal (no less than three and no more than three) — a long term plan of action designed to achieve your goal. These strategies are prioritized in order of impact on the goal
The Third Slide —
The Revenue Walk
This is the slide where you connect your vision and strategies with the financial goal. The objective is to offer a visual perspective as to how you will achieve your goal, set priorities, and engage the audience. Also be warned this is the first slide your audience my attempt to "hijack" your presentation... meaning the audience may try to take you off your "script".
The Fourth, Fifth and Six Slide —
This is where you present the three strategies in order of priority — one strategy per slide. Each strategy is explained and includes what is needed to make it happen in terms of structure, staff, systems and process, skills needed, and how the strategy will be executed.
The Seventh and Eighth Slide —
Organizational charts
The seventh slide is the current organizational chart (current state) and eighth slide is the required organizational chart (future state). This visualizes the team that is needed to support the three strategies, and drive to the goal (which I remind you started this whole thing). Remember (and this is a truism) — people are everything, and nothing gets done without them.
The Ninth Slide —
Situation Review
This slide offers an overview of the situation that the business operates in. This slide offers insight into the market, market share, current performance, competitive situation, and other considerations that are relevant to the goal and strategies.
The Tenth Slide —
The SWOT
The SWOT analysis highlights the Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats relevant to the organization and the business situation. Strengths and Weaknesses tend to offer an internal perspective, while Opportunities and Threats offer and external one. This slide is best represented with four quadrants highlighting the appropriate strengths, weakness, et cetera.
The Eleventh Slide —
This is the people and performance slide that identifies the people, their performance, and their potential.
A nine quadrant grid with PERFORMANCE along the x axis and POTENTIAL along the y axis — this allows you to stack rank people from Consistent Star to Talent Risk, and then everyone in between. This helps with honest (and respectful) discussions to help develop people up or out of the organization.
The goal of slides nine, ten and eleven are to create a clear picture of the foundation you are building your strategies and future structure on.
The Twelfth Slide —
Resources and Risks
This is the slide where you summarize the resources needed to initiate your three strategies and ensure they are successful. Resources needed are normally presented in dollar. This is also where you indicate any risks that may prevent you from executing on your strategies and achieving your goal.
The Appendix (and all the other slides) —
Your presentation will at most consist of twelve slides but there is still all of that supporting material that you need handy just in case someone has a question, wants supporting material for something you did (or didn't) say, et cetera, et cetera. This is where your appendix comes in, and feel free to go wild with the number of slides you put there — but remember, they will never actually be part of your one hour presentation.
Is this the definitive template for presenting a plan?
Of course it isn't... it's just one of many, but it has proven effective in having someone say, "I like what you are saying...tell me more." Because the honest truth is this is just the start of your plan and there's a bunch more work ahead of you — but as I mentioned, it has proven to be a good way to start.

Secrets of True Motivation: Understanding Your Themes
Discerning your life themes can help you tap into a wellspring of energy and motivation
One of the biggest blocks to creating our best self by making lasting change in our lives comes down to energy and motivation. All change requires effort, and motivation is one of the fabled secrets to success.
Without that boost for our energy, we tend to encounter blocks, such as procrastination and over-thinking. The end result is that change doesn't last, and we feel we've failed to step closer to that potential

So my dream of having a home based content management system is one step closer to reality. My new work felt that I needed a fax machine, so they picked up a Brother MFC-8220 for my home office. This is an all-in-one unit that has fax, copy, scan, print. It's got a very nice b&w laser printer built in and does very well with copies and scanning, haven't tried out the faxing yet. The best part for me though was the 25 page auto document feeder for the scanner.
It comes with a version of PaperPort from scansoft, PaperPort 8 SE, which is a rather nice app for scanning and managing documents. The only problem was that it wanted to save things in a proprietary format. This concerned me because I didn't want to put a lot of work into scanninng documents only to have them be locked up in a format that I couldn't really use. A quick check of scansofts webpage though and I found that they had a version 10 out of PaperPort, for $69 upgrade of $99 full, that defaulted to pdf for the documents. It also ocr'd the text and provided a searchable index of documents. This was exactly what I wanted. I purchased and downloaded the software and was up and running in no time.
I was able to crank through most of the documents in my filing cabinet in one evening and arrange them by type of document. The next step was to put the dirs where I had all of the pdfs under cvs control and to check them in. I'm now able to check out all of the pdfs from any of my computers and I use a mix of linux, mac, and windows and view the documents. The documents are also backed up across the different systems and cvs manages the versioning.
For managing the cvs repositories I use Eclipse, which is available on all of the different platforms and because no other app comes close to its cvs tools. So at this point I think I'm 90% to where I want to be with home document management. The only issues are that the scanner won't do duplex, but it does allow you to scan through a stack of pages and then flip them over and scan again and is able to interleave the pages properly in the final pdf. This is a small pain, but not really a big deal. I'm incredibly happy with this setup.

The Homes of Charleston
The weather here in Portland has turned dark and stormy, so it has been a nice break looking at all of these gorgeous tropical homes, palm trees and pictures of nice weather!! I loved the homes of Charleston for many reasons, one of which is because they are so different than the homes in Portland! One of the things that blew my mind about the homes there is how old they are- in Portland an old home is considered around 1900, but in Charleston many of the homes are 200+ years old!
The architecture in Charleston is absolutely stunning, consisting of a mix of East Coast homes with brick and ivy to bright, colorful homes that would look at home somewhere in the Tropics. Many of the homes look small on the outside, but if you look down the alley next door you can see that they stretch back a whole block! This is because the price or the taxes used to be based on the amount of the house that was fronting the street, so they made them long and narrow!
Which Charleston homes are your favorite? Let me know in the comments!!

A 63-year-old Denver attorney was sentenced in New Haven, Conn. Tuesday for her role in a securities fraud scheme that bilked investors out of $20 million and sent a former Hartford city councilman to jail.
Judge Jeffrey Meyer also ordered Diane Dalmy to pay $2 million in restitution to victims across the country and to serve a term of three years of supervised release following her prison term.
Diane Dalmy had pleaded guilty in February to one count of conspiracy, according to John Durham, U.S. Attorney for Connecticut.
The defendants in the scheme — with ties to Florida, Colorado and New Hampshire — include former Hartford councilman Corey Brinson, who is serving a three-year sentence at a federal prison in Lewisburg, Pa., according to federal prison records.
Dalmy had a prior run-in with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after issuing a positive opinion letter about a shell corporation. On July 29, 2016, she was permanently disqualified from appearing or practicing law before the SEC, according to federal documents.
In the latest case, Dalmy allegedly laundered about $825,000 from the "pump-and-dump" stock scheme through Queen Asia's bank accounts and her attorney accounts.
Dalmy acted largely under the direction of William Lieberman of Boca Raton, Fla., authorities said. Lieberman and others induced investors to buy securities in shell companies — some with virtually no legitimate business activities — with false and misleading claims. When investors drove the price up, the defendants dumped their large positions in the stock.
"They then ended the promotion and allowed the share price to plummet, leaving investors holding worthless and unsalable stock," the news release says.
Dalmy ghost-wrote fraudulent opinion letters about the companies including "adequacy" letters. She sometimes used money from client accounts to front conspiracy activities.
Six other conspirators, including Lieberman, have been convicted and have either been sentenced or await sentencing, the news release says.

Susan H. Neathamer
guiding you through your civil litigation with the utmost dignity
Susan H. Neathamer's goal is to provide each and every client with a dignified
alternative to litigation, and a resolution that is in their family's best interest.
Susan H. Neathamer is experienced in several methods of dispute resolution -
collaborative law/divorce, mediation, and litigation. While she believes clients benefit
most when cases are settled without court intervention, Susan strives to resolve
disputes as expeditiously and economically as possible, always focusing on her client's
best interest. She will always attempt to negotiate a settlement on behalf of her client,
either directly with the opposing party and/or attorney or through mediation or
collaborative law/divorce, to try to minimize the costs of litigation.
Although Susan is able to settle most of her clients' cases, some must go to trial. When
a trial is necessary, she works closely with her client, the relevant witnesses, and
appropriate experts to present the evidence and legal arguments that will result in
the most favorable decision possible.
Susan's first contact with a client is usually through an initial consultation for which
there is a reasonable charge. She will spend approximately one hour with the
prospective client to discuss the facts of the case, the applicable law, the parties' rights
and obligations, and her recommendations for a course of action. The anticipated cost
of our representation and our fee arrangement will also be discussed. If Susan and
the client jointly decide to proceed with representation, she will enter into a formal
retainer agreement that sets forth the financial terms of her employment.

San Francisco Mayor Speaks About Prop 8 At UC-Davis
This story was written by Jeremy Ogul, The California Aggie
San Francisco MayorGavin Newsom was at the University of California-Davis on Wednesday for meetings with campus Democrats as well as area agriculture leaders.
Newsom was hosting an "urban-rural roundtable," a private meeting with state and regional agricultural leaders and food producers to discuss regional food policy, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Newsom also met privately with active members of Davis College Democrats, Students for Barack Obama and King Hall Democrats, the Democratic Party organization at the UC-Davis School of Law.
Newsom, who has been a leading advocate for marriage rights for gay couples, has been a leading opponent of Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage in California.
"I believe in the principle of equality, and I don't think you can preach equality and then excuse yourself from offering it to one segment of society," he said in an interview after the meetings. "I think it's discriminatory to take rights away from people, and again those rights are legally afforded people today."
Newsom was featured in a recent Yes on 8 television advertisement that included a clip of him at a rally saying, "The door's wide open now. It's gonna happen, whether you like it or not." He said he hopesCalifornians willlook past television advertisements to see the real issue.
"Well, you know, I had my Howard Dean moment," he said. "I wasn't particularly proud that they spliced it, cut and pasted it."
In the context of the speech, it wasn't something that raised eyebrows, and no one called or wrote him about it until three months later, he said.
"As John McCain likes to say, this is tough business," he said. "It's a contact sport - I understand that well."
Newsom, who was a longtime San Francisco city councilmember before becoming mayor, is considering running for governor of California in 2010. He said the outcome of the Prop 8 debate would not affect his decision to run, but could affect the viability of a campaign.
"Even if I'm in the minority and even if Prop 8 wins and the position we've been trying to advance fails, it won't deter my desire to be part of the future and the direction of this state," he said.
The San Francisco mayor also talked about the budget problems facing the University of California, saying the state's inability to provide an affordable college education was seriously interfering with California's ability to compete with other states and countries.
"I think it's a downward spiral," he said. "I think it's one of those colossal mistakes we've been making over the last decade in this state I think it is pennywise and pound foolish, and I don't mean that just as a throwaway clich, I mean that sincerely."
He said the issue was something that needs to be addressed immediately.
"The greatness of this state is its investment in people, and when we start pricing people out of institutions of higher learning, we're no longer competitive. We're no longer on the leading and cutting edge."

Regency Personalities Series
In my attempts to provide us with the details of the Regency (I include those who were born before 1811 and who died after 1795), today I continue with one of the many period notables.
Elizabeth Fenning
1792–26 July 1815
Elizabeth Fenning
Elizabeth Fenning was the daughter of poor parents, was from the age of fourteen employed in various situations as a domestic servant. Towards the end of January 1815 she entered the service of Orlibar Turner of 68 Chancery Lane, London, a tradesman, in the capacity of cook. On 21 March following, Turner, his son Robert Gregson Turner, and his daughter-in-law Charlotte, while at dinner, all ate of some yeast dumplings prepared by Fenning and immediately became very sick, though the ill effect was not lasting. It was discovered that arsenic had been mixed with the materials of the dumplings, and suspicion fell on Fenning.
Fenning was summoned to Hatton Garden police-court, and was committed for trial. The case came on at the Old Bailey on 11 April 1815, when Fenning was charged with feloniously administering arsenic to the three Turners with intent to murder them.
Evidence was brought against the prisoner. Fenning had asked and received leave to make the dumplings, and that she was alone in the kitchen during the whole time of their preparation; that the poison was neither in the flour nor in the milk; and that Fenning was acquainted with and had access to a drawer in her employer's office where arsenic was kept. Roger Gadsden, an apprentice of Turner, had eaten a piece of dumpling after dinner, though strongly advised by Fenning not to touch it, and was also taken ill.
Fenning pleaded not guilty, and urged that she had herself eaten of the dumplings, a piece of testimony which was corroborated by Turner's mother, who said that she had been sent for, and on arrival had found the prisoner very sick. The prisoner, protesting her innocence, tried to show that Mrs. Turner had a spite against her. Five witnesses were called, who gave Fenning a character of respectability and good nature. The recorder's summing-up was strongly against the prisoner, and the jury finding her guilty she was sentenced to death. On hearing sentence pronounced she fell in a fit, and was moved insensible from the dock.
Popular opinion was largely in favour of Fenning's innocence, and every effort was made by her friends and others to procure a remission of the sentence. On the day preceding that fixed for the execution a meeting was held at the home office to consider the case.
Lord Sidmouth, the Home Secretary, was out of town, but the Lord Chancellor Lord Eldon, the recorder, and Mr Becket were present, and concluded that there was no reason for interfering. Lord Eldon summoned another meeting in the evening, with the same result. On the following morning, 26 July, Fenning was hanged, in company with two other malefactors, Oldfield and Adams.
Intense public interest was excited, it being generally believed that Fenning was innocent, a belief which was strengthened by her declaration on the scaffold: 'Before the just and almighty God, and by the faith of the holy sacrament I have taken, I am innocent of the offence with which I am charged.' At her funeral, which took place five days later at St George the Martyr, Bloomsbury, the pall was carried by six girls dressed in white, and as many as ten thousand persons took part in the procession which was formed to the grave.
Samuel Parr and Charles Dickens believed in her innocence, as did John Gordon Smith. In an 1829 publication, Smith highlighted an article in the Morning Journal from March that year which details the death of Robert Gregson Turner in Ipswich Workhouse after confessing his guilt for the crime for which Fenning was hanged.
The author Sandra Hempel, who specialises in topics of health, has highlighted the Fenning case as one which led to the development and advancement of forensic evidence as a means of determining guilt in murder trials. Hempel contends that contemporary experts analysed the forensic evidence available to them and resultantly cast serious doubt on Fenning's alleged guilt, only for the evidence to be ignored, largely as a result of the failings of the courtroom. The case received much public and academic attention and probably helped catalysed further scientific developments in the field of forensics.

7 Common Signs of Diabetes in Cats
Sensing there's something wrong with your cat can be a scary feeling. Your lovable animal has suddenly started acting strange, but you have no idea why. Feline diabetes may be the cause.
While not a common disease in cats, feline diabetes can be found in even healthy-weight pets. Consult your veterinarian if you see any of the 7 common signs of diabetes in cats:
Increased Thirst and Urination
Due to glucose not being able to enter the cells, blood glucose levels (high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia) are raised. Kidneys filter out this extra glucose, which carries water with it, causing cats to lose more water during urination than normal. Because of this, your cat will drink more.
If you notice you need to refill your cat's water bowl more frequently, or your cat seeks out alternate sources of water that he normally wouldn't (trying to drink out of leaky faucets or toilets, for example), your cat could be diabetic.
Inappropriate Elimination
Because your kitty is going to the bathroom more, he may not make it to his litter box every time. Cats with diabetes also frequently develop urinary tract infections which can cause this symptom, as well.
It may be a sign of trouble if you notice stools outside the litter box where your cat normally was very clean.
Change in Appetite
Much like people who are sick, some cats lose their appetite when they are diabetic. Others become extremely hungry due to a nervous system reaction (their hypothalamus telling them they are hungry).
Because changes in appetite can result from a wide range of issues or illnesses, consult with your veterinarian if your cat is eating more or less than usual.
Weight Loss
Since a cat with diabetes cannot use the calories they ingest as energy, the cat's body will break down body fat for that purpose.
Some weight fluctuation in cats is normal, especially if your cat is overweight and you have been actively working to bring that down, but dramatic weight loss is cause for concern.
Decreased Activity or Weakness
Because your cat can't actually use the calories he's consuming, he will have less energy. Cats may lose muscles mass and become lethargic and disinterested.
If your kitty seems to sleep more than usual, stops playing, or is more difficult to find because he's hiding, call your veterinarian.
Change in Gait
Occasionally, cats with diabetes develop issues with their nervous systems. This can cause a disorder called "diabetic neuropathy" which is shown by your cat walking with his hocks (see below) touching the ground.
Because a change in gait could be a sign of many problems, including a minor injury, it is best to consult your veterinarian if you notice this issue.
If the disease is very severe and are at the point where their fat is being broken down to use for energy, they develop waste products called ketones. If there is a build up of this waste in the blood, you may find your cat nauseated and vomiting. This specific condition is called ketoacidosis, and is very serious. A cat in this condition needs intensive care, including intravenous fluids, insulin, medications to regulate potassium levels, and possibly antibiotics.
Though occasional vomiting in cats is not usually cause for concern, frequent vomiting or vomiting even though it has been hours since your cat last ate can mean your cat suffers from a dangerous condition.
Types of Feline Diabetes
Much like humans, cats can suffer from different types of diabetes.
Type 1 is an absolute insulin deficiency; the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, leading to high blood sugar. This is the rarer form of feline diabetes.
Type 2 is more common, and is the result of the cat's cells not responding to provided insulin. Again, the result is high blood sugar.
There is no test to distinguish the two types.
If My Cat Is Diagnosed, What Do I Do?
First, make sure your vet has provided you with the diagnosis. The symptoms listed above can also have other causes, so you don't want to self-diagnose your cat with diabetes without checking with your vet.
If it is diabetes, just know that the disease is manageable and your cat can easily live a happy and full life with proper care!
Monitoring your cat's blood sugar levels is critical, either through at-home or lab testing. You may be instructed by your vet to feed your cat on a more regular schedule to avoid blood sugar spikes, or you may have to learn how to give your cat insulin. Additionally, your vet may change your cat's diet to a higher-protein, lower-carbohydrate food, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

In the end, the best thing you can do is talk to your vet and make a plan of action for yourself and your furry friend. You can trust the professionals at Falls Road Vet Clinic to work with you to help your kitty live his best life!

Hi Millie, i am fearing the same thing and feeling very guilty about feeding our cats too many treats. Like yours, they are such sweet kitties and i spoil them too.

Going vegan this January?
Whether you're a meat-lover up for a challenge, feeling ready for a health-conscious change to start your year, or wanting to play your part in helping the environment, there are a whole host of reasons to take the pledge and try Veganuary this 2018.
A simple change in diet and routine – like substituting your mid-morning milky cappuccino for a green tea – may seem arduous, but dropping all trace of animal products for 31 days to go green may just be the most impressive change of all, especially if you're an avid meat eater.
Over 500,000 people in Great Britain follow a totally vegan diet, free of all animal products [1]. Which poses the question: surely going vegan for a month can't be too burdensome? After our experiences going vegan last January here at Team BOL, we've trouble-shooted all worries, and compiled a list of answers to 5 burning questions to help you smoothly transition into a completely vegan-friendly lifestyle.
1. Substitutes for your staple animal products
Soy, almond, cashew, rice, oat, tiger nut, sweetened, unsweetened… The plant-based 'milk' aisle may seem confusing and baffling for someone used to pouring cow's milk on their cornflakes their whole life. When opting for a plant-based 'milk', it really comes down to personal preference. Veganuary is a perfect time to try a range of milk substitutes and experiment the different flavors within your daily routine of tea, coffee and cereal. Our favorites at Studio BOL include Rice Dream's Rice Milk, Alpro Soy Milk, and Oatly's Chocolate Milk Drink.
Meat substitutes are equally as abundant as milk alternatives. Again, experimenting with alternatives to your favourite is a good strategy – whether it be Linda McCartney's sausages to replace your usual pork ones, or Cauldron Tofu pieces to put into your mid-week stir fry – there are a vast range of vegan-friendly options available from supermarkets. Veganuary is also a great opportunity to try replacing meat with more novel ingredients you may not be used to eating, such as falafels and tempeh. We particularly enjoy Great Foods array of falafel, and Vivera plant-based burgers.
2. Vitamin B12 explained: what is it and why do I need it?
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin and one of the eight members of the B Vitamin family. The role of Vitamin B12 within the body is to contribute to the following functions:
- Normal functioning of the nervous system
- Normal red blood cell formation
- Normal functioning of the immune system
- Reduction in tiredness and fatigue
The NHS recommends adults should aim for a daily intake of 1.5mcg of Vitamin B12 [2]. Very low intakes of Vitamin B12 within the body can lead to health defects such as:
- Extreme tiredness
- Lack of energy
- Muscle weakness
- Problems with memory
- Anemia
In order to ensure you get enough Vitamin B12 within your diet when trying veganism, you can:
Take B12 Vitamin supplements, widely available to purchase online and in health stores such as Holland & Barrett.
Eat 3 sources of B12- fortified food a day, which includes cereals, soy products, energy bars and nutritional yeast such as Marmite.
Keep hydrated, with at least 6-8 glasses of water per day.
Speak to your GP if you think you're deficient.
Some vegans also struggle with low levels of Vitamin D and Calcium in the body, which are commonly consumed in the diet as dairy. Good plant-based alternatives include pulses (lentils, beans and peas), soy, sesame seeds, and dried fruits.
3. Preparation is key
After a long day's work, maybe followed by the gym and a dark, dreary trip home you may be stood in Tesco Express with little energy to imagine up a vegan recipe, and little time to prepare a hearty meal. This might be a likely time to aptly forget you're mid-Veganaury, or worse, feel dissatisfied with a bag of nuts and hummus for dinner. This is why one of our top and most important tips for Veganuary is to prepare meals ahead.
We advocate the weekend batch-cooking of a few of your favorite vegan recipes to store in the freezer, perfect for winter evenings. Soups are ideal for both lunchtime and dinner. Blitz together your favorite vegetables and spices up for a quick office meal, which can be usually stored in your fridge for up to a week. Here's some inspiration from Martha Stewart. We also have a weakness for wraps and pita's at Studio BOL, loaded with our favorite salad, hummus, dips, falafel and seeds. These are guaranteed to provide a filling lunch you'll be excited to tuck into.
Alas, if all your pre-planning does happen to fail, we've got you covered. Pick up a BOL by finding your nearest stockist.
4. Top Tips for Eating Out
Eating out may seem daunting, especially if you're out with a group of meat-eating friends or family. But don't worry, we've found a huge number of restaurants are extremely accommodating to vegans, with waiters and waitresses happy to guide and answer any questions or queries you may have. Chain Restaurants that deserve a special mention for their exclusive vegan friendly options include Zizzi, Pizza Express, Carluccio's, Yo Sushi, Las Iguanas, Leon, Giraffe, Pret, Starbucks and All Bar One. However, a particular shot-out goes to Wagamama for their new Vegan Menu, which features 12 delicious dishes. Our friends at BOSH reviewed all 12 dishes, and have the complete low-down.
If you've been invited out to a restaurant that doesn't seem to boast a plethora of vegan dishes, it's a great idea to email ahead of the date. Small restaurants are likely to make a special dish for you ahead of eating, especially if they understand your dietary requirements and have time to prepare ahead of service. This way disappointment will be avoided when having to order a side of vegetables and chips for dinner.
5. What to have as a treat?
There's bound to be a few darker days in January, when all you fancy is a creamy chocolate treat, or when something indulgent takes your fancy during the weekly supermarket shop. If you're feeling low in spirit and on the verge of making a dent into the Christmas Celebration tin, fear not! There are a whole host of snacks that are (surprisingly!) vegan to curb your cravings and keep you on track:
- Bourbon biscuits (most brands)
- Kipling Treacle tarts
- Pringles
- Bird's custard
- Lotus Biscoff Spread
- Co-op Jam doughnuts
- Fox's Dark Chocolate Chunkie Cookies
- Skittles
- Oreo Cookies
We can't wait to hear your Veganuary stories and top tips, and whether you've been inspired to make some long-term changes to your diet.
Till next time!

On January 6, 2016 FJTC held a Triage Pilot Kick Off meeting hosted by Clerk Tara Green of Clay County Circuit Court. The design team got a chance to meet with the project vendors and begin the hard work of designing the triage system. Much work remains to be done but it was an exciting day for all of us and an auspicious launch of the effort.
Triage Pilot Project Definition and Purpose
The proposed triage is an online system that uses a dynamic interview to capture end user specific information which is analyzed by an expert system and, given available legal assistance programs and services, provides individualized referral options to the end user.
The Triage Pilot project is a proof of concept project. It is meant to explore the feasibility of a triage system both at a local (county) level as well as potentially a statewide level. The lessons learned through this project will support informed decision-making about if and how to move forward with a permanent effort.
Project Timeframe
The Pilot project will be completed within six months, starting January 2016 through June 2016. The project will roughly be defined by two phases; four months of development (January through April) followed by six to eight weeks of testing and evaluation (May and June). A replication analysis and final evaluation report will wrap up the project in June/July 2016.
Project Design
To be able to adhere to this aggressive timetable, the Pilot project will attempt to duplicate to the extent practical the New Mexico Legal Aid Triage system.
There are two deviations from the New Mexico project worthy of note:
- The Pilot project will only address two areas of law (for comparison -New Mexico addresses four); family law and landlord/tenant law. The Pilot will address a very limited subset of case types within those two areas.
- The Pilot project will host several referral recipient organizations; the Clerk's office, Jacksonville Area Legal Aid and the Jacksonville Area Legal Aid Probono program, Three River Legal Services, and online resources available through FloridaLawHelp.org. The New Mexico Triage System only referred to two legal aid agencies.
Project Design Team
Key staff from the following organizations are on the design team; Clay County Clerk's Office, Family Court Services of Clay County, Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Three Rivers Legal Services, and Florida Justice Technology Center.

Sullivan claims gold at Caney Valley
By JOCELYN SHEETS
Register Sports Editor
Register/Jocelyn Sheets
CANEY — Varsity wrestling medals were won by Iola High wrestlers for the first time Saturday.
In their first-ever varsity tournament, the Mustang wrestlers scored 66 points and finished sixth in a seven-team tournament. It was the 2009 Kan/Okla Wrestling Classic hosted by Caney Valley High School Saturday.
Marcus Sullivan, a junior, captured first place in the 160-pound weight class. In the round-robin pool format tournament, Sullivan went 4-0 to take the gold medal.
Sullivan is in his second season of wrestling and won three of his matches Saturday by pins. That included pinning Dillon Packard of Independence in 1:12 of the final round of competition to win the division.
Chris Lynn, a junior in his first year of high school wrestling, placed third in the 285-pound weight class. Lynn went 3-1, winning the last three matches by pins to earn his medal.
Iola placed six of its eight wrestlers in the tournament in the top six of their respective weight classes. Junior Lee Berg and freshman Stephen McDonald took fifth places while sophomores Devin Culler and Denton Christian were sixth.
Caney Valley won the team title with 233.5 points with Independence in second at 218.5. Coffeyville placed third with 162 points followed by Fredonia 148, Bartlesville, Okla. 117, Iola 66 and West Elk 64.
"The tournament was a great chance to get some experience, which is what we need," said Ron Schomaker, IHS head coach. "We improved from our Thursday meet in a few areas that we worked on Friday in practices.
"It's going to be a learning process all year. We're playing catch-up due to our lack of experience but no matter what happens, we've got to bring a hard-working attitude to practice and keep improving."
Sullivan pinned Brian Dixon of Caney Valley then defeated Nick Eytcheson of Caney Valley 10-5. He pinned Justin Young of Coffeyville in his third match then beat Packard.
Lynn got two escapes in his match with Miguel Zaragaza of West Elk to win 2-0. Lynn was pinned in 3:59 of his next match by Dakota Denny of Caney Valley. Lynn pinned Anthony Gonzalez of Fredonia, Ethan Smith of Independence and Tyler Post of Caney Valley.
Berg lost his first two matches of the day in the 135-pound division. He came back to pin Bo Elias of Bartlesville in 2:27. Berg dropped an 8-4 decision to David Munday of Caney Valley then pinned Errion Dungy of Independence.
McDonald and Christian wrestled in the 189-pound weight class for Iola. They were in different four-man pools.
McDonald was pinned by Raul Pascual of Coffeyville to open the tournament. McDonald notched his first high school win with a pin of C.J. Hill, Independence, in 2:39. McDonald was pinned by Thomas Durham Fredonia in his next match.
Christian had a rough start, losing back-to-back matches by getting pinned. Christian rebounded to pin Trevor Harrison of Caney Valley in 4:23 of their six-minute match.
That set up a fifth-place match between the Iola teammates. McDonald won the match 11-0 over Christian.
Culler went 2-3, finishing sixth. Because of an injury he did not wrestle the final round. Culler pinned Mason Orr of Bartlesville to start the 152-pound division. He lost two decisions then pinned Aaron Schwenker of Independence in 1:10.
Sophomore Brent Clark went 0-5 in the 130-pound division. Freshman Joe Myrick was 0-3 in the 145-pound class.
Next up for the Mustang wrestlers is the Anderson County High Invitational this Saturday in Garnett. Wrestling starts at 9 a.m.
Iola hosts a varsity and junior varsity quadrangular with Erie, Jayhawk-Linn and Cherryvale on Dec. 17.

In this project we are interested in an special type of semiconductor
laser, the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). This laser
is an example of microlaser (with micrometric dimensions). Nowadays
VCSELs are used as emitters in local area networks, in optical
interconnections, optical mice, sensors... We are interested in a better
understanding of the characteristics of the light emitted by those
devices, not only in their solitary operation, but also when they are
subject to optical injection or optical feedback.
The objective of this project is to study, both from a theoretical
and an experimental points of view, advanced semiconductor lasers
emitting around 1550 nm and their applications in laser ranging systems.
Different ranging techniques making use of VCSELs subject to optical
feedback, like self-mixing interferometry or chaotic LIDAR will be
Experiments are done in the Optical Communications Lab of the
Instituto de Física de Cantabria. We study how changes of the
polarization emitted by the VCSEL when it is subject to optical
reflections from an external target can be utilized to measure
distances, displacements and velocities of this target.
In a previous project (ALAS project) we studied VCSELs subject to
optical injection to get several functionalities of all-optical signal
processing: optical memories, inversion and regeneration of the signal.
High-speed all-optical signal processing is of great interest for future
applications in computing or in optical communication systems

Long Beach State's 2009 baseball season may be reduced to one last Big West Conference series, but there still are some significant goals to reach and, as always, the opportunity to beat their biggest rival.
The Dirtbags (25-26, 11-10 BWC) visit Cal State Fullerton (39-14, 14-7) tonight at 7 in the first of a three-game series. The game will be televised by ESPNU and followed by night games Saturday and Sunday at 6.
Among the things at stake:
Finishing the season at .500 or better. There's never been a losing season since the Dirtbag era began in 1989. Two wins would guarantee them a .500 mark.
A possible second-place finish in the Big West. That would take a sweep and two losses by Cal Poly (13-8) in its final series against UC Riverside.
A chance to deny Fullerton one of the eight national seeds, which would guarantee the Titans the chance to host a Super Regional and not face another national seed in the process.
A series win also would be the third straight for the Dirtbags in the series.
Set a new school record for steals in a season. The '09 Dirtbags have 116, which is fourth all-time behind the 1980 team that had 123 and the 1984 and 1994 teams that had 117. This won't be easy; Titans catcher Dustin Garneau has thrown out 22 of 37 opponents stealing this season.
Jordan Casas can move into the top five all-time for single season steals with four. He has a team high 22 and Terrmel Sledge is in fifth with 26 in 1998. Casas is one of six Dirtbags with double-digit steals this season.
Provide Adam Wilk the chance to earn a first-team Big West spot as he duels Daniel Renken tonight. Renken (8-2, 2.42) is second and Wilk (7-3, 2.77) third among starters in the conference behind UC Irvine's Daniel Bibona.
Other individual milestones include T.J. Mittelstaedt putting a nice finish on a season that has him leading the team in home runs (six), RBIs (46) and walks; second-baseman Derek Legg (.315, 55 runs, 53 hits, .964 fielding percentage) adding to his Freshman-of-the-Year resume; Devin Lohman (59 hits) finishing off a strong sophomore season; and Charlie Ruiz earning a 12th save, which would tie Neil Jamison for the most in a season.
DIRTBAG NOTES: Jake Thompson (4-6, 5.35) faces Noe Ramirez (7-1, 3.11) Saturday and Drew Gagnon (3-6, 6.17) meets Tyler Pill (9-3, 4.19) Sunday … Steve Tinoco (concussion) and Jonathan Jones (jaw) will be game-time decisions for the weekend series. Brennan Metzger (elbow) and Brandon Young are out for the season.

Now that October is over and I have a chance to catch my breath (ahhhhh), it's time to reflect on some shoots I have had in the last month. Here's an awesome engagement/family session from a couple of weeks ago.
Stephanie and Jake currently live in Charlotte but are getting married in St. Augustine next year. They drove down for the shoot and brought their sweet girls, Sydney and Morgan—and even their two pups Riley and Mollie. It was awesome getting to know the six of them and watching the sunset in Washington Oaks—one of my favorite places to shoot in North Florida.
Happy Monday, ya'll!
