Meet the Founders in FLDWRK's Launch Program: Batch 2
Four new startups have been accepted into FLDWRK's second Launch program (Batch 2). We're excited to see them launch their movements and begin forming their institutions. Let's take a look at these missional organizations and their intrepid founders.
##The Yellow Conference Founder: Joanna Waterfall and Sally Kim
The purpose of the Yellow Conference is to gather, connect, inspire, and equip creative women who want to make a difference in the world. They believe that by empowering and equipping women, they are changing the world by teaching them how to change the world. The problem (as they see it) is that women have a deep desire to use their talent to create change, but they don't have the resources, the connections, or the knowledge they need to pursue their purpose.
##The Meat and Vegetables Trading Company Founder: Jennifer Saunders
Jennifer wants to create a one-for-one model food truck where time would be sustainably split between selling food to paying customers and using the profits from those sales to cover the costs of giving that same product to homeless and at risk communities. Eventually, she wants to develop relationships with local homeless resource centers in order to direct the homeless she serves toward those resources.
##Mondo Bongo Founders: Moses Nolf and Nick Delja
Our purpose is to equip and empower those living below the poverty line in Costa Mesa with basic job skills, computer skills, and programming/coding skills with the intention of placing them in a new job or career that pays a fair wage. Our ultimate goal is to break generational cycles of poverty.
##The Reclamation Society Founders: Jay Sherer and Nathan Scheck
The Reclamation Society exists to reclaim and recycle modern-day storytelling by infusing Truth into books, comics, graphic novels, and film. They believe that storytelling has a direct impact on culture, yet most media is either full of half-truths, outright lies, or directed solely at a Christian audience. They believe that storytelling must reach those far from God, speak to them in their language, and yet still reflect the Truth of Jesus Christ.
##Writer's Room Productions Founder: Amber Q. Robins
Writer's Room Productions is all about inspiring students through creative writing. They help students become leaders, encourage them to build strong coping skills, and help children think outside the box. They exist to ignite and inspire the next generation through a variety of assembly and workshop programs (even expanding their program to children who are living in long-term hospital care or home situations). Writer's Room Productions strives to promote healing and confidence building experience in the communities where they operate.
##Batch 2 Starts THIS WEEK!
How can you support these startups? Encourage them! Take a minute to leave a comment or ask them a question about their story or the passion they have for their idea.

The Sexy Belote game is an interesting and unusual game of strip Belote from UPlay-IStrip. Like the other games (Strip Poker, Strip 4, Sexy Chess and Strip Sudoku), it is a well finished game . It combines the fun of game playing with the joy of watching beautiful women getting themselves naked.
Sexy Belote is based on the French game Belote, and is a trick taking game that allows trumping. If you have never played it before then read the help; strangely the value placed against the cards is different to what you would expect. For example if the card is a trump suit then the three highest cards in order are Jack, 9 and Ace; but if the suit is a non trump suit the order is Ace, 10 and King.
When you first launch the Sexy Belote game you will be able to choose which pair of girls you want as your opponents. Sexy Belote is a game played by two teams; the two hot babes who you get to see naked, and you and a male partner who is allotted to you.
You may be pleased to know doesn't have to take his clothes off if your team loses. There are standard windows buttons which will enable you to quickly minimise the application to the system tray, or make it full screen. Either way is cool as the graphics in the Sexy Belote game are very good.
As with the strip poker game there is not a great deal of dialogue in game. The mp3 play list builder that is included lets you have your background music for the game.
The cost of these is €10 for two credits or you can buy up to 80 credits for €100 (when I reviewed it); this is not a bad price when you consider that once they are downloaded they are yours to keep. This is a similar method to the cards in iStripper. Currently there are only 4 teams of European girls to choose from but this is being added to all the while. The credits will be able to be used on any of the games.
When the requisite number of points has been reached the girls will either remove some clothing (usually in a sexy strip) or put some of it back on again; all will depend on whether they have won or lost. An option to stop the girls from putting clothes back on again would be good otherwise a game can take quite a while.
Throughout the game the girls are shuffling around and touching themselves seductively. The game has been written in such a way so that the players throw their cards onto the "table"; this does make it feel as if you are playing as part of a group.
Sexy Belote is an absorbing strip game that allows you to get some true game entertainment whilst drooling over the naked beauties stripping themselves just for you.

|When it rains what better than an umbrella
even on a motorbike
Satun is locked between a steep mountain range and the coast in the bottom southwest corner of Thailand. It is a rural mostly flat area with one major eponymous town. Our early evening drive north from Hat Yai airport to reach the only road through the mountain range was pleasant, the roads mostly well made and the scenery amazing as the mountains rise almost vertically like huge cliffs from the low lying plain, in fact once much of this area was under the sea. It had been raining across the whole peninsula for weeks and we knew from the news reports and from the scene below us as we flew north across Malaysia from Singapore that most of the area was covered in flood water but we encountered no problems.
|Satun's main crop is latex from the rubber tree
Pat and Tony had rented a small apartment from the boatyard whilst work is being carried out on Full Flight as living with the galley in pieces and most of the rest of the interior upside down whilst one heads (bathroom) is remodelled into storage and the other refaced in melamine sheet was not possible. The "hovel" is one of several a single bedroom spaces created out of a row of workshops owned by the boatyard and rented out either to their workers or to yachties with boats in the yard. At the back the kitchen consists of a tiled concrete worksurface with a sink and a fridge is provided, everything else including a cooking ring the yachties provide themselves. Next door to the kitchen is a bathroom, twice the size of the kitchen space with a toilet, a sink and along one wall, an electric shower; no tray or curtain though so when showering everything had to be draped on the loo or sink to remain dry! The centrally located double bedroom has AC and a window opening into the "lounge" for air and light. The front door opens on to a bit of concrete and sand that floods when it rains but is a nice sun trap where the various local stray dogs like to doze during the day. Not exactly luxurious but it had everything needed plus plenty of space to pile up all the stuff removed from the boat for safe keeping whilst the work was ongoing. We were comfy enough - Pat and Tony graciously gave up the bedroom and slept on their boat mattress on the floor of the lounge. Having sailed together for many years on each other's boats the four of us are used to rubbing along together in confined spaces.

|No kayaking for us

don't know who was more surprised!
|The yard manager's birthday is Christmas Day!

|Family vehicle
|Lunch outside Hat Yai
|The Thai' calendar starts from some 243 years
before the Gregorian one
|Love these Thai gnomes
|The celebrations were all too much for some
We saw the New Year "in" outside the "hovel" having spent the earlier part of the evening exploring the market in Satun town and taking in the lights and noisy celebrations. For Kevin and I it was all a bit muted as news had reached us of the sudden death of Erica, my son Will's long time partner and daughter Maddy's best friend from college. To say she will leave a gap in all our lives is to understate what a bubbly, lovely person Erica was - her enthusiasm for life was infectious and the memories we have are of fun and laughter.
The seasonal demand for airline seats meant we could not alter our existing travel plans despite desperately wanting to be in London with Will. Eventually Singapore Airlines found me a seat on January 6 and I headed for Tooting. London was cold and dismal and our sombre mood not much better. 2014 was a year of many upheavals and one that I think both Kevin and I are heartily glad to see the back of despite the wonderful months in the Caribbean.

News for July 2010
- CodeSnip v3.6.3 released
CodeSnip v3.6.3 has been released. The code that communicates with web services has been completely re-written to avoid some of the character encoding errors experienced in earlier versions. The "About The Program" tab of the About Box has also been updated and corrected.
- Released v0.2 beta of the MD5 Message Digest Unit
This update to the MD5 Message Digest Unit changes the parameter type of the AnsiString overloads of the TPJMD5.Calculate and TPJMD5.Process methods from AnsiString to RawByteString. This change enables ANSI strings of any code page to be processed without conversion to the default code page.
- Released v1.0.2 of the Console Application Runner Classes
This new version of the Console Application Runner Classes finally fixes a problem that was causing the code to fail when compiled against a Unicode Windows API, i.e. with Delphi 2009 or Delphi 2010. This was down to a "feature" of the Windows CreateProcessW API function. Thanks to the two users who pointed this out - you know who you are!

Sometimes taking a smoothie out the door with you is the only way to make breakfast happen. I get that. It's also easy to end up with something a bit carb heavy as most call for banana PLUS other fruits or fruit juices and often sweeteners on top of that. 1 large banana is 30g carbs and a half cup of pineapple is another 12g carbs. It can add up quickly, especially if you add oatmeal or other grains. Now, there's nothing wrong with that if you're healthy and active. Nothing at all, but a low carb option might be better for others so here we are with 6 low carb breakfast smoothies to try out!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie
I love anything peanut butter and chocolate! You can use a scoop of your favourite protein powder in this as well.
This sounds delicious. I might omit the coconut oil and instead add in a bit of almond butter to ramp up the protein.
I know, I know, it's not fall. Does it matter? I didn't think so! This sounds so GOOD.
There's something about cinnamon in the morning isn't there? Like the pumpkin smoothie above, this one sounds amazing and I love that it is bulked out with protein powder instead of oats.
This one is easy to do dairy free with coconut milk and I bet a dollop of almond butter would be incredible with it as well. Yum.
Getting in your greens means you're also getting in potassium which is great for helping to manage blood pressure. This recipe calls for both avocado and spinach – a double dose of green!
There you have it! Six new low carb breakfast smoothie options to get you off and running for the day! Give them a shot and see if you can't find a new favourite.

You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
Hello everyone, Storm it is simple app that allows you to add or collect your ideas / thoughts and share them as a Tweetstorm on Twitter. The app basically helps you to - Storm your ideas on Twitter maintaining the response chain - Preview the tweets as they will appear in the timeline - Automatically add the count to your tweetstorm - 1/N or 1/ - Store all ideas as drafts (forecasted) and editable if they aren't tweetstormed yet - Send single tweets (less that 140 characters… 1/n or 1/ will not be added) - Collect all your tweetstorms in one place Wanted to keep it simple and clean :)
@sonaal Plans for an iOS app? :)
@marsh931 in the making - should be a week or so :)
@sonaal Awesome look forward to it! Is there somewhere I can sign up to be notified when it launches?
Ben Tossell@bentossell · Makerpad.co
It was covered by The Next Web here: Publish tweetstorms on the go with Storm It for Android h/t @aghoshal
Sar Haribhakti@sarthakgh · Learning
Fascinating how people come up with things Twitter should obviously be taking care of.
Chris Messina@chrismessina · Product designer & entrepreneur
@sarthakgh supposedly Twitter is working on 10K character tweets. When it will launch is anyone's guess. 😔
@chrismessina @sarthakgh Twitter is not a blog, it shouldn't do something like 10k posts. It's called "tweet" for a reason. But this app is great for it.
I've seen some storms on Twitter, not the weather like. It's way simpler, instead of having to Tweet yourself everytime, just type a paragraph, and send it!

HighPoint Marketing helps companies improve sales opportunities...period! Whether we help you communicate to prospects through effective sales tools, or create leads through innovative sales programs, our goal is to generate revenue-producing business.
Much of our ongoing client work involves creating sales tools. Content development truly is king in the Marketing field and it represents the cornerstone of any marketing project. Without substantive content, no marketing effort can be effective. Think about the Web. Those sites that provide useful content enjoy high traffic. Those that don't, fade away.
Equally important to HighPoint's strategic marketing expertise is its ability to develop meaningful content. In fact, we excel at producing content for all kinds of sales tools.
With content developed for basic sales tools, a company can then move to developing sales programs. It now has communication vehicles for prospects. Some of the tools and programs HighPoint Marketing has created to support a company's sales efforts include the following:
Collateral materials come in many forms, the most basic of which include company and product brochures. Prospects expect these materials at a minimum. The challenge, however, is getting them read.
HighPoint creates content from the end users' perspective. What is it your target audience most wants to know about your company and its products? What problems will your company's solutions solve for them? Will it make good business sense to select your company, and how can they measure the effectiveness of the selection?
Along with crucial information to help facilitate the sales process, collateral materials must be easy and quick to read. With the "reading factor" already a challenge, HighPoint creates materials that involve the least amount of time to get the main benefit messages. And, our work projects visual appeal to draw the prospect's attention.
Depending on the audience, collateral material can be as detailed or basic as necessary. However, if you're selling a technical product, you may want to keep the technical details for your technical documents, or the materials you present to a prospect who's pretty far along in the sales cycle.
Finally, we can prepare our collateral work for both print and electronic use. More and more, clients are choosing to forego expensive print production and create libraries of PDFs that can be downloaded or e-mailed.
Here's a sampling of collateral work we've done for our clients:
PowerPoint presentations have become a standard for today's business meetings. Virtually all business people know how to create basic presentations. However, few professionals have really tapped into the vast potential of PowerPoint to deliver innovative sales tools.
Although we have done high-end multi-media presentations in the past, we find our current client niche wants a less expensive, quicker solution...without sacrificing impact.
So, HighPoint uses its advanced PowerPoint and Flash animation skills, along with add-on tools, to create presentations that pack a punch. We do company, product, financial, and other types of presentations...all at a fraction of the cost and without sacrificing quality content or visual impact. In fact, many clients put their entire marketing material library in an interactive presentation format.
Depending on your end use and budget, we can integrate the following components into any presentation.
HighPoint Marketing has completed several proposals for its clients...from technology to construction. We're familiar with how to respond to an RFP and how to present information for the best chances of getting short-listed. We've done simple proposals to complex responses incorporating pricing and configuration spreadsheets.
We can work with you and complete portions of your proposal at your direction, or we can take the lead and prepare a completed draft for your review. We're expert content developers with advanced marketing skills. And, we've got a track record to back it up. On past proposals we've played a major role in completing, we've been shortlisted over 90% of the time!
Our goal is to help you generate qualified leads by supporting your sales effort. In addition to creating all the strategies, materials, tools, and programs for you, we also can help you implement them. We provide the marketing and sales support that actually result in generating leads.
For many clients, we manage the entire lead process. We help generate leads, qualify them, maintain databases, and we track each lead through the sales cycle. Our lead management program is tailored to each client's requirements and our analysis can be basic or more sophisticated. In addition, we use the tools the client is most comfortable with, be it ACT, Microsoft Access, Salesforce.com, Microsoft Excel, or whatever fits the client's program best.
HighPoint Marketing has worked with complex distribution networks topping 300 dealers...in both domestic and international locations. We've also worked with smaller channels of technical partners and customers. Regardless the size or complexity of the channel, we work with you to reduce potential channel conflict through tailored programs. Some of the things we've done in the past include:

The following are some of the far more common items often heat pressed:
T-Shirts, Caps, Ceramic, Plates, Ceramic Tiles, Mugs, Mouse Pads, Tote Bags Lettering, Jigsaw Puzzles, Wood / Metals, Paper Memo Cubes, Rhinestones/Crystals Other Misc. Fabrics & Materials
Other types of transfers include embroidered application, die cut lettering, and flock transfers. Embroidered application usually come as an embroidered patch with heat activated adhesive on the underside. Die cut lettering is a vinyl or other type of material that is precut in various numbers, letters, and custom shapes. The user lays the letters & numbers down on the garment and heat presses them. This is commonly how sports apparel is imprinted with names & numbers.
In closing, one challenge you will face is whether to produce the transfers in-house or to have them out-sourced by a supplier. If the target market is a one unit, custom item market, then the transfers should definitely be produced in-house for controlled turn-around time as well as cost. Dye-Sublimation / Thermal Wax printers will produce pretty much everything needed for an expansive custom imprinted product line. Many bubble-jet and ink-jet color printers accept T-shirt transfer paper (good for any fabric-based item) but can not produce dye-sublimation transfers unless utilizing the sublimation ink cartridges (well recommended) mentioned earlier. If the job in mind is for large, bulk quantities (300 and up) a transfer supplier should be considered for fast turn-around time and cost reasons. Transfer suppliers can produce high quality plastisol (hot peel or cold peel), sublimation and woven labels in short periods of time with a much smaller cost per transfer than dye sublimation printers, color copiers, or other small printers. Remember that non-porous items usually need to be coated with a synthetic polyester based coating in order to accept the sublimation dyes, unless the material is already synthetic such as certain plastics.
The only other consideration is whether your product can be printed with a typical flat heat press or requires a specially shaped platen or base. Some products are simply not conducive to heat transfer printing due to their exceptionally odd shape. Again, feel free to contact us with any questions or requests for special projects. We would be pleased to provide a solution.

About Our Council
Council #112 traces its origins back to March 17, 1895 when a group of thirty-nine Catholic men from both St. John the Evangelist and Sacred Heart parishes were granted a charter by the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council. Dennis Donovan served for two years as the first Grand Knight. The Council worked closely in support of four Church's in Concord: Immaculate Heart of Mary on Loudon Road, as well as St. John the Evangelist, St. Peter's and Sacred Heart. Since the Catholic Church has gone through many changes within the State of New Hampshire, the Diocese of Manchester has closed Sacred Heart and St. Peter's Church's, and the two remaining, Immaculate Heart of Mary and St. John's (now Christ The King) are the last two remaining Catholic Church in Concord, that Council #112 supports, in addition to the Carmelite Monastery on Pleasant Street. Council 112 provides funds for various projects such as memorials, CCD programs, scholarships for local students, tournaments, communion breakfasts, Special Olympics, cancer research, Operation Santa Claus, and visiting hospital patients. Members are active participants in their respective parishes as organists, cantors, lectors, ushers, teachers, and Eucharistic Ministers.
The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic lay organization, with more than 1.7 million members in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean and the Philippines and Poland.

text: Charming Christmas novel for cynics. Tom Douten (that is, Doubting Thomas) writes a column for the Chicago Tribune, usually a hard-hitting, often sad story about the poor and needy. He decides to attend an advanced journalism class at Northwestern led by Professor Noella Wright. The two are opposites in temperament: Noella's an optimist, while Tom tends to seek the tragic. And she's got a necklace with a platinum disc on where her birthday is inscribed as December 24th. She tells Tom that Santa gave her the necklace but made a mistake on that date. A doubting Tom decides he wants to research Santa, and gets his editor to finance a trip to the Black Forest (home of Kris Kringle) for an in-depth Christmas piece for the paper. When his small plane goes down over the Black Forest, killing the pilot and another passenger, injured Tom crawls through the forest until he passes out. After he awakens, he's being cared for by Kris Kringle and his wife and helpers, the elves. Kris explains to Tom part of the mix-up about the necklace, then shows Tom how he makes the necklaces. Noella, meanwhile, thinks Tom is dead in the plane crash. Needless to say, things work out, and the reader may even come to believe in KK along the way. Part of the delight here is Tom's analytical mind at work on what seems sheer fantasy: a love story not be left behind when orders for inspirational titles are filled out. (Author tour)

College Girl
About five years ago I was working in a fairly small office of about 10 people. There was an administration desk with a woman in charge who would hire college students basically to do her job for her. In life, there are workers and there are managers and she wanted to be the latter. I was getting to know one of the college girls. Not that I was trying but through casual comments and brief conversations that became more and more comfortable. Somehow it evolved to me giving her a hard time, insulting her, making fun of her, belittling her future – though always in a playful way. She seemed to thrive on this kind of interaction and would give it right back to me and then some. In my late 30's with 5 and 7 year old daughters, had I finally stumbled upon the secret to girls? Was this really the way girls wanted to be treated – like shit?
Jackie was a black girl; somewhat light skinned with wavy dark hair as though maybe there was some mixed race in her background. She had an incredible 20 year old body that attracted attention, – rock hard, athletic, and curvy all at the same time. She acted white, her friends were white, I think she thought of herself as white. I had never so much as fantasized about an African American girl. Maybe this is why I wasn't overcome with my usual fear of girls.
I ran into her outside of work at the pickup volleyball courts. She was with a big group but I ended up working with her and teaching her to play doubles with me. She was in some sort of performing dance club and invited me to come watch on a few occasions. I never did.
She got me using instant messaging on my computer at work and we communicated in this way – sometimes for hours on end. No subject was off limits; anything that came to mind was shared. This was a new experience for me. Then, out of the blue, came the IM that paralyzed me: "I Love You". No explanations, no prelude. Why? How was I supposed to respond to that? I froze up and shut down. No snappy comebacks or witty retorts. This isn't the way it worked, I was always the one falling in love with college girls, not the other way around. She later explained that she thought she was IMing her mom. Was this true? I was really confused now. This wasn't over yet.

UK Youth - B&Q's official charity
B&Q is currently engaged in helping thousands of young people in the UK learn new skills through its investment in youth programmes and initiatives including UK Youth.
The partnership started in 2011 after staff were asked what kind of cause they wanted to get behind. The resounding answer was a charity that focused on young people in the UK so naturally the name UK Youth came up. The fact that the head offices of both organisations are just a few miles from each other in Hampshire sealed the partnership.
UK Youth was founded in 1911 to support young women who were being denied any kind of education. It has since evolved to become a national organisation that enables all 10-24 year-olds to gain access to learning opportunities beyond mainstream school.
Through a network of youth associations all over the country it reaches 750,000 young people each year, helping them to grow and develop and make a happy transition into adulthood.
Since the partnership launched B&Q has offered the charity great support both nationally and locally. One particularly successful initiative has 'twinned' stores with local youth clubs. The clubs are given the opportunity to undertake bucket collections in-store four times a year, to take advantage of product donations through the company's waste donation scheme to help decorate and improve their facilities alongside expert advice and DIY training from B&Q staff.
London Triathalon
Last year UK Youth had a committed but select group of competitors taking part in the London Triathlon - there were just three of them! This year, on Saturday 22 September, the charity will have a rather more significant presence. Over 200 people will be raising money to fund their work, making it one of the best represented charities at the event.
Gift Card Competition
Jade, 25 Alice, 13
B&Q, in partnership with UK Youth, ran a competition earlier this year to give budding young designers the opportunity to see their own design features on a special gift card to be sold in stores nationwide. This month the two lucky winners will each get to see their design printed onto thousands of gift cards, as well as receiving a fantastic £500 B&Q gift card each to spend in their local store. B&Q will make a donation to UK Youth for each gift card sold in store.
The winner of the under 14's category was Alice Brookes, 13 from Hertfordshire and the winner of the 14-25 category is Jade Fuller, 25 from Hampshire.
Nigel Mansell's Cycle Expedition
In June former F1 Champion and President of UK Youth Nigel Mansell CBE visited B&Q Blackpool to meet staff and the store's twinned youth group Streetlife.
Nigel visited the store on a rest day from his cycle expedition from John O'Groats to Paris, raising money for UK Youth. Charlotte Hill, CEO of UK Youth also attended.

Debb's Christian Share Page
Free Online Book-
I was glad I went. One thing that really stands out, which I would like to share with you is: One night I was sitting up with a couple of young Fijian men and we were talking about God. I was telling them some things that God had done in my life when one of them turned around and asked. What is God really real?. You can talk to him like we are talking now. The other person and I laughed and said, of course he is real. We stayed up until the early hours of the morning talking to him about Jesus.
The next day our team went to another church in Fiji to share with them and when we got back to our base location, where we were staying, the young man whom I had been talking with half the night, came running over to me with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face. He said he went to church and went down the front at an alter call and gave his life to Jesus again. He said he couldn't stop crying, because he could feel Jesus inside him again and was very happy and excited. To see God working in such a great way and the friendliness of the Fijians amazed me. They seemed so unselfish, the different culture. I loved the country and the people. I felt that I would like to go again. I would like to do better next time. I didn't really know what to expect on the mission trip. Now I know, I just know I could do better next time. Be more giving and loving, but again I am glad I went.
To see another country, with its people loving Jesus is amazing. I hadn't been out of Australia since I came here from England when I was five years of age.
Whilst I was in Fiji I prayed in tongue for the first time. I was glad it was with a stranger, as I felt shy about it. I still have not prayed in tongue in front of any one, maybe one day it just feels funny right now. I had been back from Fiji for two weeks and still, I had not felt God's presence close to me and I missed him so much. In the end I couldn't stand it any more, I got down on my knees and pleaded for God to speak to me. It had been such a long time. I ended up speaking in tongue for the 2nd time. It was really strange. I didn't have a clue about what I was saying, but I went from feelings of joy, despair, absolute relief and joy again. Afterwards, God finally spoke to me and said "Now I'm going to show you what I can do". These few words meant so much to me. Before I went to Fiji God said, he would show me what he could do and now was the time to start. 'Now' I was going to know the way God works. I couldn't wait. Wow! God is so Great

18 Down, 34 To Go
Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a book that had potential to be great. The premise, exposing grammatical errors and instructing the public in a witty, chatty manner, had me hoping for the best. Unfortunately, I found the humor in the book forced at times, and the chatty dialog often rambling. It's not a bad read, and at times it is a bit humorous, but at most I'd give the book two stars out of four.
My next book is Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, by Joseph J. Ellis. Many thanks go to Lauren for the suggestion. I am definitely in the mood for some political biography.

The Importance of Computer Aided Detection (CAD) In Treatment
The usefulness of computer aided detection in the diagnosis as well as treatment of various diseases and in particular the breast cancer is well known. To be precise, the CAD is the procedure of interpreting the computer images that are produced through various imaging techniques like MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound. These various techniques give out images that contain in them a lot of information that has to be carefully studied, evaluated as well as analyzed by the radiologist. The technique of CAD helps the radiologist in scanning the digital images for typical appearances, and also to highlight various sections in the images that are conspicuous and might indicate some diseases.
The most important aspect of the CAD technique is that it is an interdisciplinary technique that involves rudiments of digital imaging techniques, radiological image processing as well as artificial intelligence. The technique of CAD is most prominently used in the detection of tumors, particularly in the case of mammography that is used to detect breast cancer in women.
In the technique of mammography the CAD technique is usually used to detect conspicuous structures as well as sections. While diagnosing the breast cancer the technique of CAD can easily highlight the hyperdense structures as well as micro calcification clusters in the soft tissues of the breast. In the present case of mammography CAD can help the physician in interpreting the medical images that are generated by the various imaging techniques. The final say on the issue is still in the hands of the physician.
In the case of mammography the technique of CAD is used in the early detection of breast cancer in women. The system of CAD has a firm presence in the Countries like America and Netherlands. Here it is used in the detection of conspicuous structures as well as sections along with the study that is done by the radiologist. Although it has proved to be quite helpful in mammography, a recent 2008 review concluded that CAD is not that effective in the case of mammography. It only increases the rate of false positives in the case of breast cancer.
Whatever the case might be the technique of CAD is most widely used by the radiologists in order to make an early detection of the breast cancer in the women, particularly elderly women in whom the incidence of breast cancer is very high.

STOMPer Sally was shocked when she found online photos of her former maid posing in her clothes. The photos were taken in her house while she was out working.
Said the STOMPer:
"I've attached photos of my previous maid who has been sent back to the Philippines due to her pregnancy last month.
"By God's will, I chanced upon these photos, taken in my house, my room and on my bed, of her wearing my clothes as well as our belongings.
"She wanted to come back to work for us after giving birth, but I told her I needed to do some checks first, and when I went to her Facebook account, I saw all these photos of her in my clothes!
"I hope to share with employers of maids here. We never know what they are doing in our house when we are out slogging for a living."

Happy Thursday everyone!
I wanted to share a page I created for Duetica. This was part of my December projects, and yes, I am a bit behind in sharing this page. Soon, I will have my January projects to share, too.
This page uses October Afternoon's Sidewalks collection. I fell in love with this collection when we received it at Timeless. I bought a few sheets, and could not wait to make a page with it. I paired the Duetica Mandolyn font, with a Cricut title using the Graphically Speaking cartridge to create a bold title onto my page.
love you more & more
a couple of details:
Here is a closer look at part of my title. I used the beautiful Mandolyn font, and mixed in a simple verdana font. I love the combination of the two, and the ability to create my own titles. The combination of the computer generated title, and the diecut title, added so much interest to my page. This page is of Macie, so I wanted a title that would create some movement to my page. Just like her personality, she is always on the move, and cannot sit still for a minute.
The word, more, was also cut from the graphically speaking cartridge. I embellished the center with a layer of vellum, and a chipboard flower.
I knew I wanted to include her age on the page, so again I turned to my Cricut. A simple stitch, and chipboard heart embellished it perfectly.
I also created a flower punched from one of my favorite punches at the moment. I punched several circles from various patterned papers to create the playful flower. I then embellished it with a premade penant, and some twine.
One final detail, and my first time to actually attempt it, was stitching across all three of the chipboard banners. I did not have any problems, and I simply went really slow as I stitch. It worked, and I really liked the way it turned out!
Now, I am off to a meeting, and then back to my scrapbook room. I am in the midst of creating for CHA,so there are pop dots flying everywhere! LOL I hope to share my projects soon!

Although you'll have to tune in to see the wedding dress in its full glory, it's obvious that Kaitlyn is pretty smitten with what Hayley has achieved. 'It's elegant but it's also edgy. It feels so pretty and its girlier than I thought it would be,' she gushed during an interview with E! News. 'But there's also an edge to it which makes me feel like, "Oh, this is so me."' As we'll as charting the design process from start to finish, there will be an element of competition in the series as Hayley's interns are challenged to win over Kaitlyn with creations of their own. Catch the first two episodes of the Hayley Paige TV show online here and see the one-hour special on TLC on Saturday 13th January.

So there's this animation set in a culture different from that of the creators. It's about a young but very energetic and likeable young boy who's been trapped alone for a seemingly very long time but has mysterious powers that mark him as a chosen one. He is joined by a girl born with powers of her own but little training and a boy who despite being quite goofy has great promise and learns to be a gifted swordsman. After a while they are joined by a prince from a warlike country with dangerous ambitions to take over the world who at first looks like he is going to be an antagonist, but soon turns out to be a strong ally – who has a large burn mark disfiguring the area of his face around his left eye.
If you think this sounds a lot like Avatar: The Last Airbender, just wait until you get to the scene in the second series where the heroes watch a play based on their lives with hideously inappropriate casting. It definitely feels as though the managaka here may have seen what is presumably a relatively obscure Western animation and taken some key ideas. But it could all be a coincidence. And despite these similarities, they are really on the superficial side, and Magi is a very different kettle of fish. Also going for the epic fantasy, yes, but in a way that is at once more likeable and more ambitious, and I have to say it's the first action shounen in a very long time that has actually excited me, made me want to find out what happens next and root for its cast. Magi, which I only discovered while in
recently, has rapidly developed into one of my very favourite series, and is
certainly amongst the cutest things airing at the moment.
It must be noted that though Magi seemed popular in
it was visible more or less only in Ikebukurou, which is of course where
the female anime fans hang out and proliferate lots of BL doujinshi. The manga
is ostensibly for boys, but it is written by a woman and has a cast with
designs that are the prettiest in anything I've seen since Dog Days and
a cast of eligible bachelors who become very close to one another. And though the
main character is a lil' perv who likes to go for the boobies and his best
friend clearly has a crush on the girl he rescued and became his lifelong
guardian, and their mentor figure is a total womaniser, let's be honest – it's
always to one another that they express the strong feelings of compassion,
desperation and indeed, outright love. Though why so many people want Judar in
their ships, I don't know. He's nuts.
I mentioned that there was an exotic setting here, and much as Avatar looks East, Magi looks West, though not to familiar ole
Europe. For its
inspiration, Magi looks to Arabia, and the 1001
Nights. Thus, the main character is Aladdin, his constant companion is Ali
Baba and their protector is King of the Seven Seas, Sinbad the Sailor. Only
glimpsed in this season is Scheherezade, which just about exhausts the
household names from the famous stories.
Of course, these are only starting points of inspiration, not the basis of the story. In the world of Magi, a fantasy world that has similarities with Arabia, Mongolia, Western China and the surrounding lands, there is a force similar to Final Fantasy VII's 'lifestream' called 'Rukh', represented by glowing butterflies. Though many warriors can make use of this force, there are certain 'beloved of the Rukh' who can use it indefinitely, called Magi (though pronounced 'Maggie', not like the word in English, though that's what is meant). There have historically only ever been three, but now there comes a fourth, Aladdin. The Magi, in a nod to Christianity, are responsible for seeking out new kings and aiding them to claim the throne, and also for the appearances of 'dungeons', areas ruled over by powerful djinn that if defeated grant great wealth and powers.
Aladdin, with a mysterious past, has emerged from a dungeon with a little golden recorder that can summon a djinn (albeit with his head stuck in the instrument) and a magic carpet that doubles as a turban. Meeting Ali Baba, a streetrat son of a prostitute elevated to royalty in a country in turmoil, the two of them fight injustice and slavery and soon become embroiled in a conflict between Sinbad's country Sindria and the 'Organisation' bent on using the corrupted Rukh of despair to change the course of history to their favour. This will lead the young heroes to face death, despair, corruption, slavery, their own inadequacies and the responsibilities of leadership.
The best thing about Magi is how appealing its central characters are. It balances comedy and drama extremely well, and even dips into SD designs a lot, which is something becoming ever rarer in anime. The characters, good and bad, have their backstories that though often cheesy tend to be compelling and well though-out. And I adore little Aladdin, who is one of those little kids everybody underestimates until they realise he has awesome powers, but who just wants to help everybody and see them all happy. The main thrust of the series is Ali Baba and the troubles his country has on the brink of civil war as a result of a corrupt and inept ruler being manipulated, but Aladdin is the keystone to it all. Sinbad, though at first making me dubious, also turns out to be very entertaining, especially with the assassin-advisor Ja'far at his side (no, not Disney's Jafar, though possibly an inspiration for a name) as his constant foil. Like so many successful shounen series, it makes the wise decision of having characters seem powerful then introducing a whole slew that make them realise how weak they are, and though there's a certain amount of suggestion that nothing so far has been even vaguely threatening to Sinbad, how hard the main characters work to improve themselves is very entertaining.
Magi is lovely to look at, tells a good – if basic and unoriginal – story of good against evil and has characters that really appeal to me. For that reason, I loved it and season two is a must-watch. Oh! And I must mention the great music – two great openings by SID and Porno Graffiti and an interesting Supercell ending that sounded like they were trying something new.

Believe it or not, the hasty decision from the government on putting limit on cash withdrawal is affecting the common people more than the real culprits. The government wants people to do more transactions online by way of using debit/ credit cards and net banking, but not enough safety guidelines are provided to them.
General shops and small retailers don't take payment in cheques and force the customer to either pay in cash or adopt online transaction for their day to day purposes. Many people even have to go for online recharge and shopping using their cards and net banking facility. It's the only way to carry day to day transaction.
Telecom companies and banks are the worst. Without giving enough information and safety precautions to customers who do online shopping, these companies just keep on making money at the cost of customers' hard-earned money. Before promoting the concept of cashless economy people must know the nuances of online transaction and safety precautions to stay safe.
So Much Time to Trace Cyber Crimes?
Common! It's not the right way to tackle cyber fraud. Why does the authority take so much time to tackle any cyber crime related problem? Those who do online frauds irrespective of the locations where they reside must be arrested immediately and put behind bars. Even if they do such nefarious activities sitting abroad, yet they should be condemned globally and must be arrested in no time.
There must be some sort of deterrence necessary to control these globally-condemnable anti social activities. It's not just a question of victim's money but how can a criminal easily hack bank account details of an online shopper and make him suffer!! An innocent net user can't even think about it in his wildest nightmare..
Somewhere the buck must stop. Either the online merchants' sites must ensure more than cent percent guarantee to customers enhancing more layers of security and safety to protect customers when they enter their banking and card details. Or they must be ready to compensate the victim with the necessary amount that he or she has lost.
Victims too often are flabbergasted with the kind of response of the banks and these online shops convey to them when they had already parted away with their hard-earned money.
Moreover, the lackadaisical attitude of the authority, police, banks and online shoppers is hurting the victims more. Becoming ready for a cashless economy is okay but what about the preparation on the ground to save these innocent customers.
Never Do Online Transactions!
Stay cautious – next time you do a transaction over internet – the chance of your money deposited in the bank might not be safe. The whole system of computer-based transaction must be streamlined, and security must be tightened more to protect the interests of the online customers.
I have lost all hope on online transactions and shopping due to the recent spurt in cases of online frauds – these things are just mess and illusion. It creates more inconvenience to common people !!
#RIPOnlineShopping #RIPOnlineTransactions Banks Please Be Little Compassionate & Save Customers From this type of Forgery. They must ensure more protection to customers and educate them about online safety tips to stay safe from online fraud.

by B. Alan Wallace
Introductory Essay by Trinh Xuan Thuan
This is a well-written and well-argued essay on the nature of the mind, as seen from the perspectives of Buddhism, Science, and Christianity. Wallace being a former Buddhist monk, it is not surprising that the discussion on Buddhism and its meditative techniques is the most developed and the most informative. The book also gives useful references to ancient Tibetan texts on the subject of the mind.
One of its interesting features is that, in addition to an account of the historical and scientific developments of studies of the mind, the book presents several short chapters juxtaposing descriptions of meditative practice with their respective theoretical bases. However, as the author himself admits, "to learn meditation (of which the author extols the many benefits and virtues), there is no substitute for the personal guidance of an experienced teacher" [149].
Wallace discusses in detail the contrasting views of cognitive science (psychology and neuroscience) as opposed to those of Buddhism concerning the nature of mind and consciousness. The vast majority of neurobiologists, psychologists and philosophers adopt a materialistic point of view: mental processes are simply emergent properties of matter. In the process of evolution, consciousness arose when the networks of brain cells in living beings reached a threshold of complexity, and thoughts and emotions such as love or hate are nothing but electrical and chemical currents in neuronal networks. In other words, we are nothing more than robots that have the mistaken impression of possessing free will. We think that we are in control, that we are free to make decisions, but that is purely an illusion: we are really just perceiving the results of operations performed by the neuronal system.
Buddhism, on the other hand, adopts a totally different point of view. For it, the highest state of consciousness, called "fundamental luminosity" or "essence of Buddhahood" does not arise out of the brain. It can manifest itself without the trappings of matter. Thus Buddhism envisages streams of "consciousness without beginning or end" [ch. 14] that persist after death, and are embodied in new physical supports in the course of numerous cycles of death and reincarnation, ending only when the state of nirvana is attained.
Wallace discusses the notion of rebirth in the Christian and Jewish traditions and reviews the scientific studies of rebirth that have been carried out, mainly in two ways. First, there are studies of people who have experienced the intermediary stage between death and rebirth, which Buddhists calls 'bardo' and Westerners 'near-death experiences'. Second, there is the research of the late Ian Stevenson and his colleagues on young children possessed of alleged past-life memories. These studies are admittedly difficult and not conclusive, and they have been met with fierce resistance from the materialistic science camp. But as Wallace rightly points out; for the moment, science has not yet been able to show how our thoughts and emotions arise from matter, and affirming that consciousness is a physical function of the body is, at this stage, a metaphysical assumption.
This book is a passionate plea for opening our eyes to a non-materialistic approach to the mind, one that Buddhism has been following for the past 2,500 years through the practice of meditation. As Wallace rightly points out, "as long as our methods of investigating the mind are limited to the materialistic approaches of studying the brain and behavior, our understanding of the mind will necessarily be materialistic" [93].

I can't believe my new baby is already over six months!! So much has happened in our lives and I know it has been too long since I have updated…but better late then never!
Overall, I feel AMAZING! I have made some HUGE changes in these past couple months and am looking forward to making a lot more (some of which I will have to cover in a future post).
Thankfully, I am still nursing my little one and hope to continue that until he is one year.
My weight loss has become…complicated.
Since my last update I lost another 6 pounds without a lot of trouble. But then I hit a roadblock!
With a total of 55 pounds lost since the day before the birth, I was now at the weight that I had been at during our wedding…and for several years before that (although it was now in completely different locations!). I think my body was used to having this weight on and wasn't letting go very easily.
So I made even more diet changes, trying to choose my food more carefully but not cut down my quantity too much so that my milk supply wouldn't suffer. Thankfully, those changes have started me losing again and I have now lost a grand total of 60 pounds!!
The losing is much slower now but as long as I keep heading in the right direction I am happy!
Only 25 pounds to go!
There have been some changes in this category as well. I was pretty regular with the exercise I mentioned in the last update, but was quickly getting over the constant repetition and didn't feel it was working the female muscles that I had weakened so much by having two large babies back to back.
After doing quite a bit of research I discovered that Trim Healthy Mama had actually put out DVDs that looked amazing! My generous husband agreed that it would be worth the investment in order to keep my body in a good condition for making what we hope will be a large family.
Since it arrived in the mail about a month ago I have been doing it every 3-4 days (per their suggestion) and have LOVED it!
I have exercised the majority of my life and have tried everything from going to the gym to getting DVDs from Walmart to using YouTube videos. But I can truly say that this is the first time I've truly looked forward to working out and felt like it was truly targeting the areas that most need it!
I'm realizing that when your body expands, opens up for a baby, and then shrinks so quickly there are very unique muscles that women need to work or else pregnancy, labor, and life in general are much more difficult and uncomfortable.
Even if you aren't a mom, women have different muscles than men and are made to be "lean" and not "bulky". That requires a completely different workout then most women are used to!
There are SEVEN different routines included in the Trim Healthy Mama set, so I only repeat every two-ish weeks!
Food for our entire family is the area of my research focus right now. I will go into more detail in a future post, but a lot of love and research has gone into the menu I am about to share. As I mentioned earlier, there are still several changes coming, but I can't begin to communicate how much better I feel by taking out any remaining processed foods and filling my body with so much nutrition.
This menu sticks to Trim Healthy Mama standards and is causing weight loss, but keep in mind that I do include a few "crossovers" (THM term) because I am nursing.
Trimmy (THM cookbook – pg 430) – I make this coffee drink first thing in the morning using herbal, caffeine-free coffee.
The Shrinker (THM cookbook – pg 400) – My goal is to drink one gallon of liquids a day and this makes up half of that. I make a gallon of it at a time (with eight tea bags) so that I only have to remake it every other day.
Water – This is the other half of my liquid intake.
Egg and Avs (THM cookbook – pg 245) – This is basically scrambled eggs with a side of sliced avocado, drizzled with olive oil and nutritional yeast on top…DELICIOUS!
Oatmeal and Banana – Cook your oatmeal…add some cocoa powder, stevia, vanilla, splash of almond milk, and a sliced banana!
Salmon/chicken and Chard salad – Depending on what is in the freezer I cook up a piece of meat (in advance) and make this easy chard salad recipe.
Sweet potato hash – I make a full recipe every week so that it will feed my daughter and me every day. This recipe is on my pinterest page or you can find it here.
Small dinner and bone broth – We have started going to our local farmer's market and getting soup bones to make our own bone broth every week. Since my husband gets home late from the office, every day I add some veggies to the bone broth and we have it with just a little of the main course, so that we are not eating too much that late.
Small dinner and salad – On the days we don't have bone broth I add a salad made up of lettuce, roasted garbanzo beans, hard boiled egg, oil/vinegar dressing, and a sprinkling of Superfood Salad Sprinkles (THM cookbook – pg 493).
Smoothies (mid morning snack)
Ginger-Vanilla Smoothie (Clean Green Drinks – pg 164)
Apple Smoothie (Clean Green Drinks – pg 102) – I use almond milk instead of coconut water, skip the kale (because my tummy is sensitive to it), add a scoop of greek yogurt for additional protein, and a spoonful of homemade (stevia-sweetened) maple syrup.
Big Boy Smoothie (THM cookbook – pg 414) – I skip the lemon juice, collagen, and sunflower lecithin.
Chocolate Smoothie (Clean Green Drinks – pg 82)
Green Matcha Smoothie (Clean Green Drinks – pg 86) – I also use almond milk in this recipe.
Juices (mid afternoon snack) – since I only make two recipes during the week I am able to buy the organic ingredients in bulk at Costco and fit them into our budget easily.
Beetroot-Sunshine Blend (Clean Green Drinks – pg 78)
The Everything Blend (Clean Green Drinks – pg 106)
Evening Snack (Shared with my daughter as her dinner and to hold me over until I have a late dinner with hubby)
Tummy Spa Ice Cream (THM Cookbook – pg 361)
Pancakes with almond butter and homemade maple syrup (THM cookbook – pg 262)
Chocolate Monkey Crepes (THM Cookbook – pg 267)
In order to make my healthy eating more manageable I do my shopping and a lot of food prep on Saturday. These are the things I prepare in advance:
- Cook salmon or chicken for the week
- Prepare juicing vegetables
- Tummy Spa ice cream
- Sweet Potato Hash
- Broth
- Pancakes (one family sized recipe lasts us three weeks so I freeze the two extra portions)
- Maple syrup for pancakes (I double the recipe so that it lasts several weeks)
- Chocolate syrup for crepes (I double this as well)
- Roast the garbanzo beans
- One stevia sweetened dessert for Josh and I to enjoy during the week
Side note: Some of these dishes have some specialty/superfood ingredients that will be an initial investment. But I have tried to use them in a small enough quantity and with enough variation so that each ingredient will last for quite a while. Each one was found for a reasonable price at either Amazon or Whole Foods (with their new and improved prices!).
Resource Materials
The only three sources I've used for these recipes is Trim Healthy Mama cookbook, Clean Green Drinks, and Pinterest. I would STRONGLY recommend those two cookbooks for anyone looking for solid nutrition, weight loss, and a great variety!
So that you can see how I've laid out all the listed meals during the week, I've put my actual menu under the printables here.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts and feedback on the changes I've been making!

The Australian government said on Wednesday that it will pass a law that would withhold child care and other payments from families that fail to immunize their children. The "No Jab, No Pay Bill" introduced to Parliament would also remove a category of "conscientious objector" that allowed parents to remain eligible for full government benefits despite not immunizing their children.
Is Australia going too far? Should the US pass a similar law?
