The GVI Marine Conservation in Thailand was a great experience that has changed the way I view volunteering abroad. GVI was well-structured and exciting, as there wasn't a 'typical day'.
There were a range of different activities we were involved in, including traveling to the Similan Islands where we got to swim in the clear waters and see turtles, fish, eels and even an octopus in their natural environment.
A great experience - would definitely recommend to anyone who'd looking to volunteer abroad.

The GVI Marine Conservation in Thailand was a great experience that has changed the way I view volunteering abroad. GVI was well-structured and exciting, as there wasn't a 'typical day'.
Blog of my one month in the Seychelles:
I've wanted to volunteer in Africa since I was 17 so it was nice to fulfill a life long dream but if I had to do it over again I'd spend two or three months instead of just one. The training and slow dive schedule didn't give me much opportunity to contribute; only one short week of actual survey work. That being said however the rest of it was everything I'd hoped for. Anyone who's been to summer camp will immediately recognize the situation, 20+ strangers thrown into dormitories together and given shared duties of cooking and cleaning tends to make people put their best foot forward and like any closed environment you have a ready made circle of friends, kind of like high school. It helps that everyone there is already like-minded, outgoing and has an altruistic streak; in short the people are genuine and were the best part of the experience even for an introvert like me. The living conditions were better than expected and the early bed/early rise schedule actually worked well for me. I always thought I wasn't a morning person, turns out I just don't go to bed early enough. The food was not always inventive but it generally covered the four food groups and the lack of white bread and processed foods made a big difference in my energy level. I lost ten pounds due to healthier food and increased activity and would have easily lost ten more had I stayed another month. Having been home four days now and pigging out on chicken burgers, croissants and sandwiches I already miss the simpler meals of camp.
Now that I'm trained up on fish survey methodologies I'd be interested in doing another four week program somewhere if they would let me challenge the fish identification exams, do a couple fish spot dives for confirmation and then get right into survey work. Either way though I hope I get to visit with the people I met, either abroad on my own travels or if they come to Canada. I've got a couple of guest bedrooms that any of you guys are welcome to!
Traveling halfway across the world to work with elephants is a dream I never had until I became curious about elephants and research about them. I got more out of this experience that I ever could have imagined. Opening your eyes to the world and problems within it can be one of the most painful things you ever do, but it is more than worth it. I witnessed first-hand some of the troubles Asian Elephants face today, and at the same time I witnessed the behavior and bliss of a select few who got their lives back and were reintroduced into their natural forests. I lived in a Koren Hill Tribe village known as Huay Pakoot with a population around 400 people and 60 homes. The villagers came to Thailand to avoid conflict that was abundant in Burma about 512 years ago. Except for very few Christian families everyone in the village is Animist, Buddhist, or Animist Buddhists. The native language is Pakinyaw and elephants play a huge role in their culture. Elephants are passed down within generations of families and only change families in certain circumstances. Each elephant falls under the same protection act as all other livestock. Each elephant also has a Mahout which is a person who works with and tends to their elephant. There are 6 elephants on GVI contract and 3 with the community conservation that are currently in the forest and not in camps. That is 9 out of the 70 elephants in the village. For the Mahouts whose elephants live in the forest, they live in the village and receive income from a GVI contract. The other elephants and their Mahouts are spread all around northern Thailand in elephant camps and some even on the street. The Mahouts with elephants in the camps get paid from the camps for "renting" their elephants out and they do not live in their native village; they live wherever they can get paid with their elephant. But for Mahouts in the village life is a little different.
GVI has a 10 year stay in the village to help the community conservation group stand on their own and be able to support the elephants and themselves. Being with GV,I I was a part of many things which include teaching English in the school which goes up to 6th grade, helping out in nursery, participating in litter pickups all around, bio diversity studies, and perhaps the most exciting work of all was with the elephants. There are three herds of elephants consisting of 9 individuals. There are typically 3-4 hikes a week where the elephants are observed off their chains. Proximity data is collected and recorded every 5 minutes as well as any touch data; and twice a week health checks are done on each elephant. Newest to the data collection is vocalization. The data collection time spans over 2 hours which can vary from the observation time, often after data collection we would opt to stay and continue watching them. Each of the elephants are truly amazing and watching them in the forest where they should be; eating a healthy natural diet, doing as they please, and witnessing the bonds they each have with their Mahout, was all truly amazing. I am lucky to have found this volunteer opportunity.
Upon my arrival I expanded my vocalization project from health checks only to each of the elephant hikes. The data collected is really interesting and does show some behavioral patterns. I hope in the future to be able to take the ecology and mind of the elephants into context to interpret the cause and meaning of each vocalization. (Note that only audible vocalizations were recorded) Because there are three separate herds I personally could never have collected all the data alone. I really learned to work with others and partially rely on them. Thanks to staff members and other volunteers we were able to collect vocalization data for each elephant hike. Analyzing all the data has been really fun as well. I am learning a lot and have been inspired to do so much more, not just in terms of research but in terms of helping around the world.
My homestay family along with the elephants was a huge part of my experience. I stayed with a woman named Areerat and she was genuinely amazing. She had two daughters, one age 12 living and going to school in a neighboring village, and one named Waneeda age 10 living at home. They do not speak English, so it was great when the three of us and sometimes others all sat down and worked on learning each other's languages. My family taught me so much and through them I developed such respect and appreciation for them and their culture. Every day of the week they were working in the field, even Waneeda would be working in the field on days when there was no class. The homes in the village were really neat and beautiful. The simplicity of life as well as each aspect of their lives is inspiring. There were no chairs anywhere except at the school, if you wanted to sit you sat, even meals were eaten on the ground. Laundry was washed by hand and hung to dry, most all food was grown in the village, and meat was mainly pork, rarely chicken, and never beef or buffalo. Fresh fruit was also very rare.
All of the villagers are nice, and always try to communicate. They all seem to be so happy and there is no doubt that they all work hard. The children of the village are always out and about! They go to school, help their families, pick flowers for Buddha, and are always playing games. One Saturday we arranged a "kids" day and had a variety of games planed. I have never seen kids so joyful and excited. I have not worked with kids at home so this was really new for me and very rewarding. We taught English in the school twice a week to two classes. We also had nursery for the older kids once or twice a week and for those who wanted to come. We would play games and also teach English. They are tested on English on some of their Country testing. One of the best times is when we go to the nursery for the very young children and give their caretakers a break. These kids are so fun and spontaneous, but also can be very shy. Often when roaming the village I would see a small bunch of kids high up in trees getting mangos or just hanging out. The kids were so great!
As far as animals go, I learned that the euthanasia of animals in Thailand is very illegal. There were a few elephants in the country used in illegal logging on the Burma border that stepped on land mines and were hurt extremely bad…some are doing well now and actually have prosthetic limbs; but even when on their death bed no animal can be euthanized. This is because of the Buddhist beliefs of the people. The belief is that if they kill something or someone they will not be able to be reincarnated.
All of this is just a briefing of the things that I learned while volunteering on this conservation project. Everything that I have learned I hope to be able to share, for the elephants' sake. I did not go into detail about all the issues they face, but I plan to educate people on the issues involving Asian Elephants. I am happy to share my experience but more than anything with my presentations I would like in some way to help the elephants. I believe I can do this because some of the situations they are in are strictly driven by tourists from all around the world. So by being in the States, I plan to be a voice for Asian Elephants, they deserve all the voices they can get.
Thailand, how do even begin to describe this adventure of a lifetime? I can sum up Thailand in 4 words, "the land of smiles". I can safely say i have never felt so welcomed in any country before. It was a very pleasant surprise to see these little kids sitting outside their houses waving and shouting hello to us.
They would do this whilst you walk down the street to the local shops and restaurants. Overall GVI was very well respected within the community which made for me feeling at home faster than i anticipated.
Initially I was worried about making friends but the people at the GVI base introduce themselves, give you tips and they ask you about yourself. Those GVI volunteers and staff become your family away from home and i can safely say i don't know what i would of done without them.
Onto the programme, I was lucky enough to embark on a 6 week Marine Coastal Expedition where we did everything from clean turtles to teach adults English. I had an extremely varied trip and i was even lucky enough to visit the local orphange and take part in the community centre's weekly sports day!
I would trek into the rainforest and see all manner of beauty in the flora and fauna. So many species so be admired and observed, as well as respect. Taking part in the leadership course also meant i had a days experience being a project leader which was an eye opener to say the least.
Overall i had a trip of a lifetime where i experienced homesickness, actual sickness, pure laughter and some brilliant weekends away. I saw the beauty of local villages and the tourist areas like Krabi each with their own distinct feel and impact.
Five Stars!!
Since the internet is full of (often unsubstantiated) claims, hearsay and rumours on volunteering I would like to add some facts from my eight-weeks experience with Global Vision International (GVI) at Luang Prabang, Laos, from middle of April to middle of June 2014. During that time I taught English at Xayadeth college (http://www.xayadethcollege.com/) for 6 weeks and at Mekong English Center (MEC, http://www.mec-laos.org/) for two weeks, as well as some mathematics to interested Buddhist novices for 3 weeks, organized by GVI during the summer vacation. Just to explain my background: I got retired at age 65 from life as a research physicist in elementary particle physics (you know, protons, neutrons, pions, quarks etc.). After travelling through South America for half a year in 2011/12 I wanted to revisit Asia. So I decided to spend 4 months in Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos and in order to make it a bit more meaningful I thought I would do some English teaching. I signed up with GVI at Luang Prabang, Laos for 8 weeks - on recommendation from a friend who had done the same in 2011. Now, research physics is not exactly highschool English teaching but it also get's you into contact with education problems - on a different
level of course. And after retirement I had actually participated in the Swiss highschool system by helping weaker
students in math classes (on a similar level as the math course I did for Buddhist novices at Luang Prabang). So I do have some idea of teaching and of education standards in the 'west'.
Reading the following you should be aware that what I describe are my specific experiences, it is about my interaction with colleagues, students and fellow travellers and as such may not reflect the general picture, but only my personal 'snapshot' of life as a GVI volunteer at Luang Prabang.
Of course the day of a volunteer teacher is mostly governed by teaching/educational issues, even if I only had 4 h per day (2 classes, but the same level) and at most one hour for preparation.
Teaching is really a fascinating and fun experience, once one has accepted the fundamental facts that (a) the level of knowledge is quite low, compared to 'western' schools, that (b) students have not learned how to go about 'learning' and that (c) the quality of the different schools and local teachers ranges from bad to good. Also, the general level of knowledge and education in Lao society as a whole is lower, mostly because there had not been much of an education system before 1975, nor any other substitute institutions. Once you can accommodate with these boundary conditions teaching in Laos will be great fun.
The introduction about teaching that we received from GVI was good, there was sufficient teaching material and always somebody from GVI staff to discuss with. At Xayadeth I was teaching students who were on average about 23 years old, had passed the normal Lao secondary highschool (including several years of English) and were now working at hotels, restaurants, as accountants etc. or studying law or chemistry aside from 'our' two hours of English per day. There was one Buddhist monk among the 25 students. They were in the third and last year of the three-year English course at Xayadeth (9 h weekly), which is a private college and charges them about 200 USD per year - while the two GVI teachers per class work for free. This immediatedly raises the question of where the money goes to, since for all six classes (two classes per year) there were at least 6 volunteers but only two or three Lao teachers (who would earn something like 200 USD a month). Teaching was done by two GVI teachers per class, none of whom spoke any Lao and the GVI teachers change every 4 weeks on average. In my experience this teaching model is very inefficient and produces students who understand the rough meaning of what you say, but not the details and specifics. Obviously, it is easy to convey the general meaning of 'wonderful' - but how to differentiate between all existing synonyms without knowing the exact wording in Lao? Or how to explain the meaning of 'exciting' without reverting to a dictionary? At the end of the third term we volunteers personally devised, conducted and graded the final exam, the level of which was probably corresponding to the level of 15-year highschool students in the west. Even so, the outcome was very disappointing, the results ranging between 10% and 90% of the full score, with an average around 50%. Nevertheless, each and every student received his diploma (to be fair, this is not a specific Xayadeth problem, but happens in many schools in third-world countries, e.g. in South America). Since the latter is well-known, it also explains the lack of motivation and discipline of many students: only about half of all arrive and that normally 15 minutes late, go out for phone calls, there is no homework and everybody is promoted from one class to the next, irrespective of their performance. One of the main problems is that people don't have role models to see what it really means to study a language or math: that it's not enough to get exposed to new English words or quadratic equations, but one has to exercise and practise until you 'know them in your sleep' - which is hard work and needs investing 'sweat and tears'. But there is very few education role models in traditionally 'carefree' Laos. And - like we all recall from our own experience - even if we are highly motivated for learning something, there is always times when we tend to be a bit lazy. This is where some mild disciplinary structure can assist the student: attendance check at the beginning of class, no phones, homework and promotion criteria. Selected promotion into next class is one of the key factors: I had third year students ranging from those who could not compose one longer sentence to those who could actually express themselves rather well - the reason being that the weak students normally are also those who do not attend class. It is all too human that you do not like to work too hard if the diploma at the end is for free. You see, I really got quite intriqued by the general question of how one acquires knowledge and education in general, what are the necessary requirements to do so and I had many interesting discussions on that topic right at Luang Prabang.
You might expect that the director of this college - who lives on the premises - would publicly address his teachers, give you some background information about the school and the whole education system or even express some appreciation for your volunteering. But nothing like that, which I found rather disappointing.
Now, the great news is, that there is other schools - like MEC (a two-year private school with students of about 17 to 18 years of age who attend normal secondary school), which are modelled much closer to western examples: attendance checks at the beginning of class, no phones, homework and periodic assessments, which are used as the base for granting scholarships and for being promoted to next class. The results are very encouraging and teaching is definitely more fun and gratifying for you as a teacher. And I did it after six weeks at Xayadeth college and the frustrating experience of the exam! Also, the MEC teaching model is much more efficient: there is a 'normal' Lao English teacher who ensures the continuity over the whole year and volunteers who assist and support the Lao teacher. MEC have produced their own course-book (which uses Lao examples and not American or English), which is even computerized and actually used with a projector in every classroom. Fees are about the same as at Xayadeth college (one has to realize that nothing, not even primary school in Laos is free). There were about 5 girls and 5 Buddhist novices in the class of 20 students.
Students - at any school - are lovely, friendly and good fun (once you understand the above) and we were invited to their football matches and petanque drinking bouts. Same with the GVI colleagues with whom I had an excellent time.
Financial issues:
My financial input to GVI amounted to 40 USD per day - if you stay less than 8 weeks it's even more. Out of this 10 USD are used for accomodation, 6 USD you get handed out as a 'food allowance' to buy your own food (which is definitely quite below subsistence level since the cheapest meal in a cheap restaurant is 1.9 USD, a beer 1.2 USD and a fruit shake 1 USD), about 10 USD go into scholarships, local charity contributions, contributions to transport costs for students etc. and the rest of about 14 USD never arrives in Laos. Accomodation was at 'Coldriver' guesthouse for all GVI volunteers in single rooms with attached bathroom and fan. It should be stated, that you could get a room with aircon and free coffee/tea/bananas for the same money somewhere else in Luang Prabang.
Safety/health issues:
Is high on the GVI priority list and taken very serious, probably for a good reason, since the majority of volunteers is around 20 years old. There is no swimming in rivers, no motorbiking and no fraternizing with Lao citizens.
And Luang Prabang is a wonderful place to spend 8 weeks, where you meet all kinds of people - I would not like to miss that time. And wherever you explore in town, in the monasteries, in the public library, in coffee shops or in 'Big brother mouse' you will often be addressed by young people, mostly Buddhist novices eager to learn English. English teaching really is in high demand and appreciation, you just have to find/choose your way of doing it. There is quite a lot of volunteer organisations, on the web and outside and it pays off to look around before you get hooked by some exciting-looking poster advertising teaching for Buddhist monks and novices.

Finally the biggest transfer saga of last two summers came to an end. Luka Modric is no longer a Tottenham Hotspur player, tough negotiator Daniel Levy has buckled down and settled for an agreement with Real Madrid – their new partners. Tottenham fans will be somewhat happy that Modric is not plying his trade for a Premier League rival which could have been the situation if Levy had accepted Chelsea's offer last summer. Despite interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint German, Luka Modric has opted for Spanish giants Real Madrid. Spurs have struck a partner agreement which will be helpful to them in relation to players, coaching and commercially. Real Madrid are the masters in these arts and this partnership will be beneficial to Spurs in more than one way but there is also a catch as Real Madrid's eyes will be glued to the huge talents at Tottenham Hotspur Gareth Bale and Kyle Walker.
These are the things for the future, right now Spurs need to think about their present after gathering a meager one point from two outings. Securing Adebayor's deal believed to have plugged the main gap in Tottenham roster. Now, the focus needs to be shifted to the deep-lying-play-maker position which Modric used to occupy and was identified as one of the problematic areas in the current season in his absence. It proved out to be a big hole as a Livermore-Sandro combination couldn't provide the thrust, creativity and spark from the middle of the park, and as a result Newcastle and West Brom were successful in cancelling out the threat caused by Tottenham Hotspur's flying wingers as they were not worried about the threat through the middle. Another creator Tom Huddlestone is expected to follow the exit path sooner rather than later and it would be ideal to think about the replacements henceforth. So a midfield addition can be expected at the earliest to fill the voids.
Potential Replacements
Jao Moutinho
Jao Moutinho heads the list of potential arrivals, His previous association with manager Villas Boas gives him an advantage over others in the pecking order. Moutinho had a successful Euro 2012 campaign which fueled more speculation linking him with the move to a higher league. This has also resulted in an ascendancy for his evaluation which can eventually cool down Tottenham's interest. Moutinho is not a like-for-like replacement for Spurs. He is a mobile player with good vision and creativity but he is not a deep passer. Moutinho can open up opposition defenses with brilliant through balls, something which has been lacking in the Spurs game-play so far this season.
Yann M'Vila
French defensive midfielder Yann M'Vila is another option which attracted the Tottenham think tank. Villas Boas has Sandro, Parker and Livermore as viable options in that category but he believes M'Vila will be an upgrade over them. M'Vila suits perfectly in a 4-2-3-1 formation as well and he can be the lynch-pin in that two-man shield. He isn't a play-maker who can unlock opposition defenses with ease, nevertheless a word-class talent who can make himself comfortable in a new setup and it could prove out to be the right solution if things fall in place. Comparatively cheaper than Moutinho, but still not the ideal solution.
Miralem Pjanic
Roma's Miralem Pjanic ticks most of the boxes as a potential Modric replacement. Neither he nor his club is interested in a deal. This can change anytime as we often witnessed in many signings, each second in the passing window has a hidden surprise inside. Pjanic is adept at spraying passes from deeper positions, his mobility and killer passing ability will be an added incentive for a Tottenham Hotspur side which lacks on these fonts. Roma might not be willing to reduce the asking price as it may not be an ideal scenario when Daniel Levy is on the other side.
Moussa Dembele
Fulham started deploying Moussa Dembele in their central midfield after the Belgian international arrived at Craven Cottage as a deep-lying forward. His creativity can be matched by none when he is on top of his game but securing his signature won't be that easy as Manchester United are also rumored to be tracking the Belgian. Dembele is familiar to the Premier League system and can adapt quickly when compared to his counterparts. Tottenham's neat triangles which we witnessed last season were missing so far and Dembele is someone who can implement it at the Lane without any difficulty. Modric's will be big boots to fill and only time will tell whether Dembele can fill it or not.
Esteban Granero
A partnership with Real Madrid! So what is expected as a return for Luka Modric by Tottenham Hotspur. A bit part player in the Madrid setup moving to London will be ringing some bells. In steps Esteban Granero – known amongst Madrid circles as a utility player. His preferred playing position is central midfield. Nuri Sahin comes from a similar mould but Spurs didn't go after the player which implies that there is no guarantee they will pursue Granero either. The only way this can materialize is if Tottenham fail to land a direct replacement for Modric and their partners helps them out in the last minute. We cannot exclude this possibility for the time being, can't we?
Yohan Cabaye
Newcastle's Yohan Cabaye is also a player who can replace the Croatian wizard in the Tottenham setup, Spurs are yet to make a formal approach for the player. So he is not in the equation presently. Same is the case with Joe Allen after the Welsh international recently completed a multi-million pound move to Liverpool. Etienne Capou is an unknown player even to the football scouts, so one might not trust him with the big boots. With so many names linked to the club it remains to be seen who will make his way to the Lane before the transfer window closes. So who will be the ideal replacement for Luka Modric? Will Tottenham be able to effectively utilize his transfer fees?
When Spurs sold their best player Berbatov in 2008 they failed to get a replacement for him on time and it hampered their progress. Tottenham landed Luka Modric in the same window, different type of a player for a different position, gradually he became the best within the team. He bid adieu after 4 years in a similar scenario, does that mean Spurs will not get a direct replacement? Are they going to get a better world class player for the future? Unlike that summer Levy has time on his side, he is looking for replacements well before time and is also planning to strengthen the weak spots in the squad as well. Levy was described as a wheeler-dealer and one can expect many activities from him in coming days. Tottenham faithful will be eagerly waiting to see the new face who can change their fortunes sooner rather than later.

Verizon Wireless has released a software update for its LG Spectrum 2 VS930. Sadly, you'll still be on Android 4.0.4 (build IMM76I), and you'll now have software version VS93011A. Other than that, we can't quite tell you what's changed. The update, according to Verizon, improves performance and fixes bugs on the device.
So the wait continues for some Jelly Bean love for the Verizon LG Spectrum 2 , but some update is better than no update.

Great alternative to a shell.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Large
Great product. I sized up as I'm short but have big shoulders, especially for a triathlete. Also, Gore sizes small/skinny in my experience. I wanted something to keep me warm on 50 degree days in the aerobars; this completely fits that requirement. This has a good fit, keeps the wind out, and with a baselayer, keeps me warm without overheating. Far prefer it to a light shell - better fit and feel throughout.
Nice fall piece
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Size Bought: XL
Used few times 50-60F and works well. Not too loose or too snug, not too hot or cold. Wish it had the chest vest zippers like another piece they make. Would improve venting on long climbs. Fitted the XXL but returning because it is too loose.
Windstopper Gore
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I never realized how well windstopper material was until i wore this jersey w just a baselayer on a low 50 degree windy day. All my fellow club riders that didnt have a windstopper item were complaining they were cold while i looked like i was wearing nothing . I even had to unzip halfway to cool me down . This item is great as well as any other Gore Bike Wear items ive purchased.
Great bike Gear
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: xl
I own several different Gore Bike Wear windstopper items. Mainly to mix and match as the weather turns. On the east cost we can have huge 30 degree swings in a day sometimes making dressing for long winter rides a challenge sometimes. when I don't know what to wear I always go with a wool baselayer and this jersey. Keeps wind out but there is no insulation on it. Gore Stuff is all top notch and it is extremely durable as well, the orange is great for mountain biking somewhere like a national forest where you might encounter backcountry hunters. Most brands I use a large jersey but can do XL in Gore Jerseys.
Stops Wind & Water Resistant
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Great pockets, wind proof, water resistant.
A little short in torso. Does not breath.
Runs small in size.
I'm 5'7" 155# and got an XL.
Wind stopper!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
I used this for the first time for my commute today. Mid-30s in the morning and low-60s coming home. In the morning I used it as a middle layer and it fit comfortably over a long sleeve base layer. Very comfortable. Coming home I used it as the outer layer and it absolutely stops the wind on the chest. The collar is comfortable and snug but not tight around the neck, so no noticeable breeze down the back.
The sizing runs small (IMHO) and if worn with a base layer could be extremely tight. It is a narrow fit, though stretchy, and a bit short in length for a long torso. The design does easily cover the back when leaning forward.
Highly recommend, but consider getting two different sizes and send one back.

Australia's biggest organic poultry farm sold
Inglewood Farms sold to a family-owned agribusiness group
MeatPoultry.com, 11/27/2013

QUEENSLAND, Australia – Inglewood Farms, Australia's largest organic poultry farm, was sold to a family-owned agribusiness group in Southern Queensland. It is a free-range poultry farm capable of housing 300,000 chickens and has earned approximately an 80 percent market share of the country's organic poultry meat market, according to ABC Rural. Terms of the sale weren't disclosed.
Since parent company RM Williams Agricultural Holdings went into administration in June this year, the business had been in the hands of receivers. Many businesses were reportedly interested in acquiring it.
"There were nearly 50 interested parties, both domestically and globally," said receiver Greg Quinn.

The general charter of pg_dump is to produce a dump that will replicate the state of the database. Editorializing on it in order to make it more likely to reload in a different version of PG seems to violate that charter. I think the current state where pg_upgrade just complains about those functions and tells you to remove them by hand is far safer than creating blind spots in pg_dump. regards, tom lane

Reviews for cuevas's places
This place was phenomenal! It was a bit of a hike up the big hill to get to, but it was WORTH IT! The place was clean and tidy, and had an AMAZING view of la Alhambra and the city (if you've been to Granada before the view is far superior to the Mirador de San Nicolas!!!). The 5 terraces were beautifully painted and clean, the cave was gorgeous, and the privacy of our room was great. Very chill place to hang out at, and/or a lovely place to spend a romantic getaway. I would stay here again and again!
nice charming double or twin rooms
Great price and lovely accommodation for a trip to Granada!
Reviews for cuevas as a host
Olga was a wonderful host. She told us where the markets were and how to get around, was always available if we needed anything, and was very friendly and nice. We felt extremely welcome!
nice charming double or twin rooms
Excellent host and easy communication

The next Second Sunday Contra Dance will take place on Dec. 11 in the Community Room on the second floor of the old courthouse in the Jackson County Library Complex in Sylva.
Contra dancing is a form of English country dancing and uses many of the same figures as square dancing such as circles, stars and swings. All dances are done to live music and local musicians are invited to sit in with the band, to jam and learn how to play music for dancing.
Dancing will take place from 2:30-5 p.m., with a potluck dinner following at 5:30 p.m. Bring a covered dish, plate, cup and cutlery and a water bottle.
No previous experience with contra dancing is necessary and all dances will be taught and walked through before dancing. No partner is required.

I use a Wolfgang Puck Bread Machine and love to make different things in it, other than just homemade bread. I have made pizza dough, as well as Monkey Bread. If you haven't tried Monkey Bread – you are missing out!
Bread Machine Monkey Bread
Dough Ingredients (Put in machine in order as below)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons margarine, softened
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Topping Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup of chopped pecans (optional)
Sugar Mixture
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- In the order of ingredients, place in bread machine. Make sure the yeast is on top of the dry mixture & doesn't touch the liquid, until the bread machine is started.
- At the top of the powdered mixture, place the yeast. Make sure that no liquid comes in contact with the yeast. Select dough cycle and press start.
- When dough is complete, place dough on floured surface, knead and roll dough in to a long tube shape.
- Cut dough in to 1 inch bites.
- Drop one chunk at a time into the sugar mixture. Thoroughly coat dough pieces. I like to use a sifted spoon to get excess sugar off the rolled dough.
- Layer them loosely in a greased Bundt or tube pan, staggering layers so you're plopping each dough chunk over a space between two below.
- Chop Pecans
- In a medium saucepan on low heat, wisk together topping ingredients until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Pour topping mixture over coated rolls in baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till golden brown.
- Remove from oven & enjoy!

The place also suits all levels of surfers, from absolute beginners to ultimate pros! So, book a Mexico surf trip now and prepare to ride the perfect waves!
When asked about where to find the best surfing spots in the world, most people would answer Hawaii or Bali. Well, they are both right and wrong at the same time.
Separated from Europe by the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco is often considered an extension of the Old Continent by passionate wave riders. Having been pinned on the surf map ever since the 1950s, the country has become a stronghold for surfers from far and wide, who flock to its awesome waves to escape the cold winters back home.
When you think about a vacation in Greece, chances are you will conjure images of visiting ancient sites, soaking up the sun on the beaches, and eating many amazing meals. While that's certainly the case for most travelers, there are others who want to explore the wilder side of the country.

Having Tea with 1,355,033,812 People
One of our amazing abilities as a Human Being is our ability to connect with others and with everything in the universe. When we are most alive we are most connected and whole. And it seems like a bit of a mystery that we are also our most unique and individualized self when we experience our connection with all others!
When we become stressed, emotional, angry, depressed, disappointed or ashamed, we contract. We wilt. We begin to sever our connections.
Some of the best meditation practices guide us back into full connection with everyone and everything and hence with our self. The technique may invite All in, or Open all windows, or clear all blocks; but the result is that a sense of our profound connection awakens, heals and gives us insight.
That meditative experience is natural to each of us as a human being. It is all around us. It is not the possession of any one tradition or belief. It is a sensitivity lived and passed along. Because of that it can unexpectedly envelop us like warm sunshine without any great effort or fanfare.
That is what happened when I had tea at the Ra Ma Da Sa Center for Healing in China. I had been invited by Sunder Singh Khalsa – an excellent teacher, spiritual light and friend – to come to the center to teach. Of course that means I also learned. He spoke several times about an amazing "tea lady" who was native to this mountainous area of China. Tea in this area is nurtured by the mountain air, the altitude, the rich organic base in the soil and the careful tending of the local villagers. Sunder had brought me tea from this Tea Lady of China all the way to the USA. It was subtle and special. So when the chance came to share some tea in person with her and him I was enthusiastic and grateful.
The simple act of having tea became a deep meditation. An occasion with a few people in a well appointed tea room shifted almost magically to a moment filled with the spirit and presence of 1,355,033,812 people and MORE!
I won't keep you in suspense. The Tea Lady served the tea as a meditation. She took us from the senses and social pleasure of the occasion and opened our heart to the many levels and flows of energy and consciousness that are in the simplest of acts.
To capture in words all the nuances of consciousness and spirit that came in those minutes would take many pages and still far short. So I will outline the steps, the walk up the foothills, and let you reach your own high peak by having tea with friends your self.
1. The Beginning. That is in the mind and heart. It is away in both time and space from the tea room. The Tea Lady walks from house to house in the village areas. Each house has tea trees tended by the family lineage for generations. She is supported by a devoted entourage that meditates, blesses and sings. She walks around the tea trees in a meditative glow, flowing like a river of light. She senses the quality of the tree and each leaf. She selects a leaf and with deep respect to life, nature and the unbroken chain of hands that tended this tree. She selects a tea leaf and all that comes with the creation of this particular leaf. Gradually she gathers a bundle of fresh tea leaves. The leaves she selects preserve the spirit of the place, the energy of its ancestry and the delicacy of the tea components that condense mountains, altitude, winds and rain into a savory brew.
2. Create a space that is elegant in its simplicity and suggestively sacred in atmosphere. The mind needs to know you require its attention and cooperation. Calm your self with a slow breath, a prayerful moment or mantra. Acknowledge all of your parts and all the people you will share this tea with. Then a common tea setting becomes a special space to have an experience. The Tea Lady did this with a contagious smile and attentive glances as she took a small sample of the leaves and systematically prepared each cup with warm water and put the leaves to steep.
3. As the tea completes the brewing, a process begins. Tea is poured in each cup. Then it is smoothly brought past the nose and smelled. You pause in stillness and attend to the sensations, feelings and mental impressions. Drink the tea. Allow its qualities and essence to ripple through your body. Then we shared an observation to a question- a meditative step- asked by the Tea Lady Guide. Then the tea is steeped again. The tea is steeped as many as a dozen times. Each steeping changes its quality. Each shift in quality reveals new facets of the nature of the tea and the nature of your own awareness. Here is the sequence asked after each cycle of steeping:
With this last tea serving you are part of the tea and hold its essence for all who shall taste from these trees in the future. Enjoy, bless and take this awareness with you.
So we start with our senses and our individual experience. We gradually sense how our feelings of our feelings expand. Gradually we realize that a tea leaf does not exist. It is a tree, a village, a land and a country. It has with it a subtle message and imprint of time and people and place.
Gradually as we meditate on the tea experience we open our awareness. One person says"I can smell a jasmine flower". The Tea Lady smiles and says yes at this house there was a large jasmine bush growing near the tree. Another says " I sense a joy and a clarity". Response- "Clarity and wisdom come as we let our thoughts go and open to the flow of knowledge that comes with each thing we experience."
As we drank the tea we drank each sip with the 1,355,033,812 people of China + us + you. The room isn't big enough, but the heart is. This of course is yoga; the experience is meditation.
From tea leaf and steeping to sensing our self as a part of all that is. Nothing exists just as a separate thing. Each thing is a mirror of an unlimited process. Each tea taste a brief poem that captures feelings and the play of life.
I appreciate the tea lesson, the practical and unpretentious wisdom of the Tea Lady, the generosity of Sunder Singh to introduce me and share this experience, and to Ajit Kaur for the photos.
Now, have a cup of Tea!

Refinancing your home's mortgage can save you countless sums of money if you're currently locked into a high-interest rate agreement. Mortgage refinancing is often done to extend the length of a loan term, get a better interest rate or to simply change mortgage brokers. Unfortunately for some, refinancing comes at a cost, and the outcome is not always desirable to the recipient of the loan. There have been many cases in recent years where people have refinanced to avoid foreclosure, only to find it becoming an even bigger problem when they get locked into a sub par agreement.
Here are some methods you can utilize to find the lowest mortgage refinance rates:
Get that Credit Score Up
Any loan or mortgage company is going to look at your credit score before anything else. Your credit score gives a pretty solid view of your financial past and level of responsibility. Low credit scores are often the result of bad investments, unpaid credit cards and delinquent loan payments. Mortgage companies see these issues and could deny your refinance because they simply don't trust you enough to pay back the loan. Raising your credit score takes time, but it's better to slowly work on increasing it than sit back and idly watch those loan denials come in.
You can raise your credit score by being current on all credit card and loan payments, consolidating debts to lower costs and by removing errors on your credit report by contacting the Federal Credit Bureau.
Raise the Value on Your Home
If you're asking for a refinance loan at a lower price than what your home is worth, you're more than likely going to receive what you ask for. Mortgage companies often use what is known as a loan-to-value ratio. This means that they assess your home's value and will only hand out a loan for what the appraisal has been established for the property. You can do a number of things to increase the overall value of your property such as landscaping, structural repair and aesthetic restoration.
Have All of the Necessary Paperwork
Refinancing your home mortgage often requires two year's worth of federal income tax returns, recent pay stubs and bank account information. If you invest in stocks and bonds, you'll also need to bring in all of this documentation. Failure to present this paperwork will not only hold up the process of refinancing, but some banks will even deny your loan before it can be assessed because it is wasting their time to wait for you.
Be a Smart Shopper
Let's face it, there is a sea of mortgage companies all promising that they offer the lowest rates. The lowest rate can only be found if you first sift through the plethora of companies that you've discovered. An average refinancing rate is currently at 4.00 percent. Anything above this is too much and will result in a hefty monthly mortgage payment that makes refinancing useless. A rate below this point is excellent and will help the process of refinancing pay off. Some companies will tell you upfront what their refinancing rates are, but others will require a short initial application to even get to that point.
Know the Process
Refinancing your mortgage is a lot like taking out a brand new loan because, essentially, this is exactly what you're doing. You are simply replacing your old loan with a new, lower-cost option. Because of this, you'll need all of the same paperwork you brought in when initially applying for your mortgage. Before wasting your time making a trip to the bank, contact them beforehand and get a checklist of all the documentation you'll need. Once you apply for the refinance loan, you should hear back from the lender within a couple of weeks to say if you've been approved or denied. It's important to only apply for one refinance at a time to avoid receiving duplicate approvals.
Refinancing your loan is great for the average homeowner who is struggling to stay afloat and avoid foreclosure. Before signing any important paperwork, make sure you're getting the best rate pertinent to your current credit score.

The Detroit Lions have placed troublesome wide receiver Titus Young on injured reserve, citing knee surgery. The move allows the Lions to keep Young away from the team but will also allow them to retain his rights in case they find a taker for Young in a trade before draft day in April.
It is clear that Young has played his last snap with the Lions. When asked about whether or not Young's knee would require surgery, head coach Jim Schwartz said, "Yeah most likely. Yes, unless he doesn't show up for it." While many reporters laughed Schwartz remained stone-faced.
Young, 23, showed a lot of promise last season and was projected to emerge as a viable threat opposite Calvin Johnson. However, Young proceeded to show poor judgment and a complete lack of maturity that led to being suspended from the team twice before being put in the corner for good last week.
The Lions drafted Young in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft. The fact that the Lions are willing to cut ties with a talented, young receiver that they used a high draft pick on is telling about just how much Young has worn out his welcome with the coaching staff and teammates.
If the Lions do try to trade Young, what teams would be interested in a player with Young's talents and problems? The New England Patriots come to mind. They were willing to take on Albert Haynesworth and Randy Moss so they aren't shy about taking a chance on a player who doesn't have the best track record. If the price is right it could be a low-risk, high reward for a team with a stable locker room like the Patriots.
The price being right would be key. No team is going to put up more than a sixth round pick and many wouldn't consider putting up a better offer than a seventh rounder. Some other teams that might show interest are the Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals, and the New York Jets. Even with his past he should be the subject of several NFL rumors leading up the draft.
This is pure speculation on my part but one thing is certain, Titus Young is done in Detroit.

Your Message/The Use of Evidence
Once the opening has captured the attention of the audience, it is necessary to establish the theme or message of the presentation. As in a fine symphony where the composer reveals the theme and then proceeds to create variations on it, the speaker presents the message and then proceeds to develop it with facts, information, and evidence.
The opening is designed to get the attention of the audience. The message statement focuses attention on the subject. It can be a statement of intent, such as, "We are now going to examine the pros and cons of the new budget process." It can be a question such as, "What are the steps necessary to achieve ISO 9001 Certification by December 15 of next year?" Sometimes the message statement is presented as a proposal of logic such as, "If....is true, then...is also true, and....is the natural result." The message statement guides the development of the presentation and keeps it from straying away from its purpose or objective.
Beware of the funny story. "For some regrettable reason; the novice feels that he ought to 'lighten up' his talk by telling a joke; he assumes that the mantel of Mark Twain has descended on his shoulders. Do not fall into this trap." – Dale Carnegie
Using evidence is an essential part of an effective presentation. Questions often in the minds of audience members, even if seldom asked, are "Why should I listen to you?" "Why should I believe you?" and "Who, besides you, says this?" When we need to convince others of our views, one of our primary tools is the use of evidence.
Evidence Defeats Doubt
D Demonstrations
E Examples
F Facts
E Exhibits
A Analogies
T Testimonials
S Statistics
"If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time -- a tremendous whack!" – Winston Churchill

There's much that is wise and provocative in Sam Tanenhaus's "Conservatism Is Dead" essay, as one would expect from a sympathetic biographer of Whittaker Chambers and (let's hope) Bill Buckley, but it seems to me to suffer from a few disabling weaknesses.
The most important weakness is that, at the end of Sam's long tour of post-war American conservatism, it's not at all clear what conservatives are supposed to do in the way of government policies. Oh, sure, they have to embrace Burkean wisdom and Disraelian paradox and be prudent, moderate, cautious, and so on. But what does that mean in terms of health, education, the budget, foreign policy, etc.?
I'm not asking for a laundry list here, but one sign of a serious political philosophy is that its specific prescriptions should flow from its general principles with something like naturalness. We ought to be able to guess quite readily what a conservative government would propose to solve particular problems.
I get very little sense of what Sam thinks American conservatives should be doing in the future except, perhaps, acting more like President Obama. That's fine, but I shall need more experience of this administration before I conclude that Sam has hit upon a new conservative governing philosophy.
What hints we do get of the practical implications of Sam's argument are not wholly soothing. He praises Disraeli's willingness to adopt greater government intervention to solve the problems of mid-Victorian society–helping labor unions, social welfare, "a policy of sewage." Is this praise for Disraeli's praiseworthy freedom from ideology? Or praise for the virtues of government action? For Disraeli intervened when the masses of people were poor, social problems large, and the government very small indeed. A century later the labor unions liberated by Disraeli were the over-mighty subjects tamed by Thatcher.
Circumstances alter principles as well as cases, as Burke never tired of pointing out. Today's social problems are definitely not the result of small government–though they may be the result in part of inefficient and ill-directed government. And to forestall an obvious objection, the current financial crisis illustrates that fact that neither government nor market has yet solved satisfactorily the problem of agency–i.e., who manages the manager, who regulates the regulator. Government itself cannot provide an answer to that.
[A related point: Sam quotes Chambers as arguing that "The machine has made the economy socialistic" and therefore "a conservatism that will not accept this situation is not a political force, or even a twitch: it has become a literary whimsy."
If Chambers was right about that at the time–which is arguable–the time was itself significant. He wrote when society seemed to be an agglomeration of large institutions–"Big Government, Big Labor, Big Business, etc." Since then "the machine" in the form of the personal computer has become the agent of a much more decentralized economy and business structure. That in turn made possible the entrepreneurial and small-business revolutions since the 1980s. Social problems are still with us, of course, but they don't seem to flow from a conservative refusal to adjust to the technical inevitability of statist solutions.]
The second large weakness in Sam's piece is that his criticism of the ideology of late conservatism–for instance, its hostility to New Class liberal elites–fails to examine whether there is any real-world evidence for their arguments. Such themes are treated as mere ideological constructs designed to win over particular blocs of voters. Yet, surely, it is at least theoretically possible that people such as Irving Kristol actually believe what they argue. They certainly produce some evidence for their beliefs–the evidence demonstrating the liberal bias of the mainstream media is overwhelming. If they think that elites are abusing their power to damage the democratic solidarity of American society, they have an obligation to raise the matter. And if they are right in their analysis, this should be a matter of concern to everyone. It's not simply an ideological tic.
Sam's third weakness is that his scattering soil on the casket of conservatism . . . well, in the words of Lady Bracknell, "Is this not somewhat premature?" The corpse is still the life of the wake. Republicans lost the last election with a solid 46 per cent of the national vote. Far from disintegrating since then–and Sam's argument seems to have expected such an implosion–the Republicans have annoyed their opponents by their cohesive opposition to the stimulus passage. Their decision may prove to be a mistake and lead to collapse later. But we won't get the first signs of an answer until the mid-term elections of November 2010.
I will go back and re-read Sam's piece. There was much else I enjoyed and learned from, and some I agreed with. But I am still looking for signposts for conservatism on the way forward. And Sam needs to say more than "I wouldn't start from here."

Nursing is more than a career; it's a calling and one of the most important, fascinating, and dangerous professions in the world. As the frontline responders battling traumas, illnesses, and aggression from surprising sources, nurses are remarkable. Yet contemporary literature largely neglects them.
In The Nurses, New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist Alexandra Robbins peers behind the staff-only door to write a lively, fast-paced story and a riveting work of investigative journalism. Robbins followed real-life nurses in four hospitals and interviewed hundreds of others in a captivating audiobook filled with joy and violence, miracles and heartbreak, dark humor and narrow victories, gripping drama and unsung heroism.
Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic, engaging characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos - the hazing ("nurses eat their young"); sex (not exactly like on TV, but it happens more often than you think); painkiller addiction (disproportionately a problem among the best and brightest); and bullying (by doctors, patients, and others). The result is a riveting story possessing all the twists and turns of a brilliantly told narrative - and a shocking, unvarnished examination of our health care system.
"...a detailed, sympathetic, and eye-opening portrait of how nurses work, deal with stresses, and fulfill their mission of serving patients.... An insightful perspective on the realities of crucial health care providers." (
Kirkus Reviews)
"A funny, intimate & often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes." ( People)
"After interviewing hundreds, Robbins narrowed her focus to the personal narratives of four nurses.... Their stories are compelling in every way." ( BookPage)

Baby Torticollis, How do we treat Baby Stiff Neck & Baby Flattened Head?
Physiotherapy & Osteopathy Baby Torticollis treatment in London at home or at the practice in Belgravia
Our London physiotherapists have years of experience in treating baby stiff neck. Our physiotherapist will loose the muscles in your baby's neck using soft tissue massage, gentle stretching and will teach him to turn his head both ways through games, visual and audio stimulation. He will also show you the daily exercises in order to preserve this mobility. Usually a few sessions are sufficient.
As baby torticollis is due to tensions and retraction, we usually advise our patients to have a session with our osteopath before starting the physiotherapy rehabilitation. It will fasten and facilitate the treatment. Our osteopath and physiotherapists work as a team and will communicate together for the best outcome.
"You can know that your baby has a torticollis when you observe that your baby can't turn his head on the left or on the right"
A baby's head is very flexible, if your baby always sleeps on the same side, it often results in flattening that side of his head. It is known as positional plagiocephaly, more commonly called flattened head.
Our treatment on babies' neck and head, plus the exercises will allow your baby's head to come back to his normal shape without any pain or discomfort. But it is important to act fast, the earliest your baby is treated the easiest his head and neck will come back to normal.
We can treat your baby at home in London or at the light centre Belgravia, near Victoria station.
What is baby torticollis?
The retraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle leads to the difficulty of turning the head from one side to another. It is easily observed, because your baby always keeps his head on one side or has a flat part on his head.
The stiff neck (or torticollis) is generally due to the position taken by the baby during the last months in uterus. Even though it is a reversible pathology, it should be taken with concern as soon as possible to prevent any discomfort and permanent skull deformity.
We are covered by health Insurance companies and recognised by Bupa Uk and Axa ppp

Do You Know Nutrition: What's the difference between wheat free and gluten free?
By Phylis Canion
Sept. 17, 2013 at 4:17 a.m.
After years of so many health problems, I was finally diagnosed with Celiac disease. Although it was not recommended, I opted to give up gluten and am amazed at the difference it has made. I would appreciate an explanation as to the difference between wheat-free and gluten-free? Are there other flours that I could substitute?
Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine, is caused by a reaction to gliadin, a gluten protein found in wheat as well as rye and barley. When gluten is ingested, this autoimmune condition causes the body to attack itself by destroying intestinal villi, resulting in poorly absorbed nutrients.
Celiac disease is a multisymptom, multisystem disease. Symptoms associated with this disorder include digestive disorders such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation and diarrhea. Unfortunately, nonrelated digestive symptoms can include bone and/or joint pain, depression, weight loss, fatigue, weakness and vomiting.
Celiac disease may also lead to osteoporosis, anemia, infertility, delayed onset of puberty, frequent respiratory infections, memory and concentration problems, some forms of cancer and irritability, according to WebMD.com.
Symptoms can vary from person to person, which is why diagnosis can be difficult. Many people can have the disease for a decade or more before they are diagnosed; however, the longer one goes undiagnosed, the greater the chance of developing long-term complications.
If you have a gluten intolerance, it is important to also avoid pizza, pasta, breakfast cereals, pastries, certain sauces and other wheat flour containing foods.
An important note to remember is that a gluten-free product is wheat-free, but a wheat-free product is not always gluten-free, and not all individuals who have a gluten intolerance are intolerant to wheat and vice versa.
To be gluten-free requires eliminating more foods than just wheat while wheat-free simply means avoiding foods that contain wheat.
The following is a list of gluten- and wheat-free flours that can be substituted: amaranth flour, arrowroot flour, barley flour, brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, chia flour, corn flour/cornmeal, hemp flour, potato flour, quinoa flour, sorghum flour, tapioca flour, teff flour and white rice flour.
Sprouted grains usually contain no bromide or yeast but still contain gluten. For those who have a wheat intolerance but no problem with gluten, sprouted grains are a healthier choice. While there is so much more to write and my space is limited, I simply recommend to everyone: avoid gluten.
Thought for the week: Life is 10 percent of what happens and 90 percent of how we react.

Author has written 11 stories for Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Village, and Doctor Who.
Hey guys,
Now I know many of my stories look like they have been updating recently, the truth is that all stories updated in December of 2010 are probably as old as the publishing age, and other then the doc who fic, nothing is younger then 2008. Having noticed some of the dreadful spelling and grammer in some of the stories, and the layout, have since decided to revamp the stories in terms to these issues. Which of course means it looks like they have updated. ... After the credits does have a new chapter but that is because I lost it for 3 years.
Yeah most of these are never getting updated again.

Maybe I'm Amazed
I haven't blogged for several weeks now. We've been going through some insurance changes that put me off my medication schedule and I started to feel pretty lousy—I don't know about you, but I have serious problems writing when I feel lousy! Thankfully, my supplies showed up two weeks ago. Even so, it put me and my immunobuddies off schedule and invited bronchitis to stay a while. Don't worry though–this blog post is germ free!
I was pretty amazed at the fast turn around this time in getting my medication approved so quickly. Maybe for two reasons. Usually, these things can take quite a while. The other had to do with prayer–but maybe not the one you'd expect me to make. I prayed that if this medication wasn't necessary (read I can get by without my immunobuddies) that the Lord wouldn't let me get approved at all. This has to do in part with the huge burden they put on us financially. And…truly…it's still not an enjoyable treatment.
Well, I got approved in 2 days this time. Unheard of. I think I knew all along I needed them (see paragraph one)–but I wasn't sure how God would provide for us to pay for them this year. And He surprised us with an answer to that, too. I can't share details, but I was amazed.
Do you ever feel like you really need one prayer answered? Not just for the answered prayer–but because you need a faith boost? I know that the Lord hears my prayers–His word says He does and I believe it. But, sometimes they take a long time to be answered, or are answered in such a way I don't see them. Well, that's where I was. I needed a boost to my faith. He sent one just in time.
If you'd like, I'd love to hear about ways God has intervened on your behalf during trials—and left you completely amazed. Leave me a comment?
Jeremiah 32:17 Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. (full text here)

A move to cut income taxes in favor of higher sales taxes will lead to tax increases for 80 percent of Nebraskans, a report by the OpenSky Policy Institute shows.
"State economies flourish when policies are enacted that strengthen the middle class. LB 405 and LB 406 don't work in that way," said Renee Fry, executive director of the OpenSky Policy Institute. "Nebraskans who makeless than $91,000 a year will experience tax increases under these bills."
Check out our graphs below that illustrate the various ways LB 405 and LB 406 would affect how much Nebraskans pay in taxes (click on graphs for larger versions).
Please find a note on the methodology for this analysis after the graphs.
The model used for this analysis is based on a very large stratified sample of tax returns, combined with data from other sources, to estimate the impacts of policy changes on state revenues and people at different income levels. All taxes ultimately come out of someone's pocket somewhere, and this model estimates who and where (this is known as the "final incidence" of the tax).
For the sales tax, the model uses available data on both business-to-consumer sales and business-to-business sales, including those that are currently subject to the sales tax and those that would become subject to the tax under the proposed expansion. Based on that information, the model allows us to estimate how those new taxes are likely to find their way into the price of various goods, and how that ultimately affects family budgets at different income levels.
