No doubt, pets are amazing! They're man's best friends and we will surely love to have them as companions for the rest of our lives. On a normal basis, a human who lives an average of 70 years on earth may experience the death of up to 8 of his pets in his life time.
However, one can take a number of simple steps to ensure that their pets live to the longest time possible. Who would not want his pet to spend more time with him? This article will show you how.
- While spending time with your pet exercising, you are also keeping it healthy and increasing the life span. You can get a doggy treadmill for your dog to work out as you also work. Consistent exercise ensures long life for your pet.
- Let your pet relax. Even in humans, relaxation and meditation help the health a lot and a healthy person lives longer. This is just the same with pets. When they relax and rest, they have the tendency to live longer.
- It's always advisable to prevent rather than try to cure diseases or illnesses in pets. Even when there is an health issue, it is always advisable to treat it early enough. Although most diseases are not discovered until the symptoms are very obvious, you can still make sure you don't allow any illness linger in your pet by visiting t veterinarian regularly for check ups. Also, never miss your pet's vaccination.
- Reduce the many treats you give your pet that can lead to obesity. Obesity will make your pet almost useless, unattractive and liable to die younger than usual. A pet will live longer than usual if it is placed on a low calorie diet. Also reduce the amount of sugar and sugary foods that you feed your pets.
- General cleanliness will also make your pet live longer and be healthier. Clean the pet regularly, bath him according to pets advice, clean his cage or living environment, change his water, what his food and water troughs and make sure he is always clean and in a clean environment.
- Make sure your pet is comfortable and not stressed. Exercise regularly. You can put your pet (especially dogs) on a routine of a twenty minutes walk everyday. Do not put your pet under any stress or uncomfortable situation. Convenience helps the pet to live longer.
- Monitor your pets diet. Get advice from your veterinarian on what feeds to buy and in what volume to feed your pet with the feed, with the veterinarian aware of your aim of keeping the pet alive for as long as possible. Don't starve your pet as a punishment or as a result of irresponsibility.
- Lastly, brush your pet's teeth regularly. This is not given as much attention as it deserves. Not doing this can cause plagues and other bacterial infections that can affect the pet's heart and other organs. This can even lead to death.
Following these instructions will gradually and easily ensure your pet's long life.

Those that know me personally know that I am a foodie. Since I was a child and able to cook without supervision I was always cooking something. My go to dishes were baked salmon, deviled eggs, rice pudding…all kinds of goodies. Since last week was my official 1st week pursuing acting full-time I've had a lot of time on my hands to cook. I thought I'd take today to share some of my dishes.
This week alone I've made tuna cakes, ribs via the crock-pot (my secret weapon), mini pot pies, a spinach Quiche, and today penne pasta w/ sautéed mushrooms, garlic and spanish onions topped with Asiago cheese.
I'll start with the ribs, I marinated them overnight in garlic, mustard, and spices and then cooked them on high for 4 hours in the crock-pot (almost to falling off the bone). After-which I lathered them in BBQ sauce and baked them at 375 for 20 mins. Below are pics from start to finish. For the sides I sautéed string beans and made 2 kinds of deviled eggs – garlic / parmesan & peas, carrots, and chia seed
Next up Tuna Cakes, which I'd never made. I was always a Salmon Cake girl but my sister insisted I use Tuna. I made the cakes w/ spinach, scallions and shredded carrots. I paired them with hash-browns & topped them with rosemary.
Later in the week I decided I wanted eggs…and somehow it transitioned into a spinach Quiche, I paired it with a fabulous loose leaf tea called 6 Chakra that I got some Sun's Organic Tea shop in Chinatown, apparently after drinking the tea you're supposed to sit and meditate. If I remember correctly I meditated via a nap.
Next up, mini pot pies!! Now I must admit I was inspired by the commercial Pillsbury (I think) did on these, using their biscuits as the shell . I made a few ingredient variations such as using canned chicken, spinach, spices and topping them with Asiago cheese and voila!
Today for lunch I did a quick penne pasta, my sister and I have YET to make it to the grocery store, however I had a few things available and I used what I had, I decided to forgo the carrots though.
Until next time…I'll leave you with this

Reference management is about keeping track of the literature used for your study or your research and it is thus an important part of the academic work for both students and researchers.
In order to account correctly for your sources, you must include literature references in your work. There are two main objectives for including references:
Why reference management?
The good scientific work is characterized by a considered use of sources. It is important to account for these sources to be able to correctly document your results and conclusions based on the literature you have studied and used.
The reader must be able to assess whether the present work is based on content and intellectual cogitation of others. In addition, it is dishonest not the give your sources the credit they deserve. This text is e.g. taken from the DTU Library website, where you can learn more.
It is a balancing act in a number of ways; if you quote others to a very large extent, the product will lack originality but on the other hand, if you do not quote others, it becomes subjective and unscientific, and you might even be suspected to plagiarise.

A Beaut of a Beachside Australian Bungalow
Name: Nicole and her family
Location: Austinmer, Australia
The basics: 1 year, rented
Nicole describes Austinmer as, "a hidden coastal village tucked between the mountains and the seas only an hour south of Sydney." If that doesn't get you packing your bags, Nicole's breezy bungalow will have you hoping on a plane.
Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: I live here with my husband Jeremy, son Campbell 6, daughter 1, and our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Jasper. We fell in love with the period features of this early 20th century bungalow and the sweeping garden overlooking our favorite beach.
Working from home means I am lucky enough to spend many a morning or afternoon tea taking in the coastal and escarpment views from the sunny back verandah.
What is your favorite room and why? The lounge/sitting room. I spent many an hour this last winter looking out the beautiful bay windows from my fave chair watching the ocean.
Next favorite is my sewing studio room where I can close the door, light a scented candle and work on my baby quilt creations for my small brand Alphabet Monkey.
If you could magically change something about your home, what would it be? That we could own it and keep it forever.
What's the last thing you bought (or found!) for your home? A shell mirror for the mantle, I love the chocolates and dark tones blending in with the dark timber and brick work in the lounge area. Brings a touch of my Bali travels to our everyday.
Nicole's words of wisdom: Fill it only with things you love.
Thanks, Nicole!

SAN DIEGO — Matt Lundgren calls it being in the right place at the right time. This last time, that simple description will be allowed.
Lundgren happened to be in front of a puck that skipped off the shoulder of teammate Jim Hau. Lundgren's only move was to slap the puck 10 feet in front of him, past Mike Carr in goal with 3:49 left, to lift United States International University to a 3-2 hockey victory over the University of Alaska Fairbanks at the San Diego Ice Arena Wednesday night.
The Gulls (14-12) must win their four remaining games for any hope of an at-large playoff berth for the only independent school in the NCAA championships.
This would be the first trip to the playoffs for USIU or any other independent team, since this is the first year independent schools have been awarded berths.

Part III: The Christology Lectures of 1933
Bonhoeffer begins the lectures in what at first glance seems to be an obscurely and piously enthusiastic manner:
Teaching about Christ begins in silence…. That has nothing to do with the silence of the mystics, who in their dumbness chatter away secretly in their soul by themselves. The silence of the Church is silence before the Word. In so far as the Church proclaims the Word, it falls down silently in truth before the inexpressible…. To speak of Christ means to keep silent; to keep silent about Christ means to speak. When the Church speaks rightly out of a proper silence, then Christ is proclaimed (CC, 27).What at first seems to be a piece of subtle dialectical piece of rhetoric in fact reaches to the heart of the matter at the outset of the lectures. Speaking of Christ "rightly"—properly identifying Jesus—is done neither by the drumming up of sophisticated dogmatic formulae separated from the church's worshipping posture 'under' the Word, nor by the search for some "inner Christ" (the Christ of faith) or an historical Jesus. Bonhoeffer knew all too well the cul-de-sac of that well-traveled road. The intellectual posture of 'silence' essential for engaging Christology (and to the discipline of theology in general) employed by Bonhoeffer is not a novel or erratic turn of phrase. Rather, what the diction of silence is meant to convey is that the only 'appropriate' approach to and description of the discipline of Christology is a dogmatic one and more precisely a dogmatic one employed in a doxological mode. Pangritz notes that for Bonhoeffer, "the meaning of 'dogma' is not so much 'doctrine', but rather praise of the 'doxa', the glory of the Lord."
Two significant material considerations fund this methodological move on Bonhoeffer's part and represent a crucial 'moment' in his Christology—a critical moment that clarifies just how extensive his response to and undercutting of theological liberalism is. First Bonhoeffer claims that the discipline of Christology is "the center of its own space"; it "remains unique. It has no proof by which it can demonstrate transcendence of its subject. Its statement that this transcendence, namely the Logos, is a human person, is presupposition and not subject to proof" (CC, 28). Second, for Bonhoeffer, theology and in particular, Christology, is concerned not with impulsive human utterance about Jesus, but with a Divine Counter-Logos: "When the Counter-Logos appears in history, no longer as an idea, but as a 'Word' become flesh, there is no longer any possibility of assimilating him into the existing order of the human logos" (CC, 30).
In the first instance, Bonhoeffer's claim that Christology "occupies its own space" is short form for the axiomatic theological claim that Jesus Christ cannot be classified or assigned a "place" within an accepted order of reality and actuality logical inquiry and not vice versa (Webster, Word & Church, 116). In the words of John Webster, Jesus is "that in terms of which all other reality is to be mapped" (116). The second claim, that Jesus is the "Counter-Logos", is closely related to the first and is in essence an extension of the first point. In the incarnation Jesus comes as the Word who both disrupts and interrupts all speech and thought. This, as Webster notes, shapes christological inquiry profoundly because it repudiates "any idea that theological talk about Jesus is pure initiative" (116). Such talk is, in a most profound sense for Bonhoeffer, what the church must obediently engage in because in the first instance, it has been spoken to, and in a very real sense, silenced by the interruption of the Counter-Word in which all true words (christological reflection included) find their genesis and impetus—"when the church speaks rightly out of a proper silence, then Christ is proclaimed" (CC, 27).
Bonhoeffer here, at the outset of the lectures, offers his prolegomenal response to theological liberalism. In making the two claims noted above, Bonhoeffer is attempting to cut the feet out from under the edifice of theological liberalism and specifically of liberal thinking about Jesus which ultimately ends up in either of two equally distressing thought patterns about Jesus—the Jesus of history or the Christ of faith. Both are equally problematic because both uniformly disregard and violate the two above-mentioned rules of christological inquiry. In Bonhoeffer's words, both errors have misconstrued the 'who' question by imposing upon the subject matter with questions of 'how', the question of demonstrability.
In this sense, all classical and formal epistemological questions are subsumed within and under the doctrine of revelation, the event of God's salvific activity (his pro-me activity) in Jesus Christ. In this way, Bonhoeffer does not operate with an epistemology per-se but takes God's activity as the basic criteria, especially within Christology. This is why, for Bonhoeffer, two questions can never enter christological discussion: 1) the question of whether or not the church is justified in its claims about Jesus—"this question has no basis, because the human logos can have no authority to doubt the truth of the other Logos. The testimony of Jesus to himself stands by itself, self-authenticating"; and 2) the 'how' question of how the truth of its christological assertion is possible—"in that way the human logos would be claiming to be the beginning and the father of Jesus Christ" (CC, 32). Both questions are formally apologetic ones and for that reason are suspect from the start. Yet they are also, at the material level, driven by the desire to speak, to engage in logos, and not keep silent before the Counter-Logos. In other words both questions are engagements in sinful disobedience. The only permissible question on Bonhoeffer's account, is the question of 'Who?', to which he devotes the rest of the lectures.
The formal negotiation between legitimate and illegitimate questioning is not a trivial affair but of fundamental dogmatic importance. This is so simply because how the church speaks of Jesus, how it goes about answering the question of identity belies what it thinks about the one with whose identity it is concerned. In other words, method is informed and formed by the content, by the subject matter and not vice versa.
In filling out an answer to the question of 'who' it is that the church speaks of when it names Jesus Christ, Bonhoeffer offers us three interrelated claims: Christ is Word, Christ is Sacrament, and Christ is Church. In all of these Jesus Christ is ultimately the absolute and categorical expression of God's freedom, which as noted above, is not a freedom from but a freedom for—a freedom constituted in Christ's nature as the God-Man:
Christ is Christ, not just for himself, but in relation to me. His being Christ is his being for me, pro me. This being pro-me is not to be understood as an effect emanating from him, nor as an accident; but it is to be understood as the essence, the being of the person himself. The core of the person himself is pro-me (CC, 47).Christ cannot be thought of other than in his being as pro-me. It is only by acknowledging Christ's promeity that Christology can properly proceed to discuss him as "contemporaneous" and contemporaneously present only existing as Word, Sacrament, and Church.
Our interest here is obvious. Christ is present because, at core, he is only who he is in relation to me, there is no other Jesus. That is, his act informs his being and equally his being his act. While Bonhoeffer does not put it in these terms, he is essentially saying that Christ's nature is exhausted (in the sense of fully defined) in relation to me or more specifically in relation to his church as such also to all of created reality, myself included. This is not by ontological necessity but by divine freedom—the freedom to be so defined. It is this Jesus who is freely present as Word, Sacrament and Church. While the first two forms of his existence are of vital importance to Bonhoeffer's Christology, our interests, specifically the relation of Christ to Church, are animated by Bonhoeffer's familiar assertions concerning the third form of his existence—as gemeinde—which receive renewed attention here. Bonhoeffer reiterates that "Christ is not only the head of the Church, but also the Church itself" but here adds the qualifier that "Christ is the Church by virtue of his pro me being". He also further qualifies his ruling axiom, Christus als Gemeinde existierend, by offering this commentary: "Between his ascension and his coming again the Church is his form and indeed his only form. That he is in heaven at the right hand of God does not contradict this; on the contrary, this is what makes possible his presence in and as the Church" (CC, 58, emphasis mine).

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Jane Levine, Mr. Larry Levine,
Dr. Priscilla Hambrick-Dixon, and Dr. Velma LaPoint to
our steering committee:
The Levines are the founders of Kids Can Make a Difference
(www.kidscanmakeadifference.org), an organization devoted to inspiring kids to end poverty and humger in their communities, their country and their world.
Dr. Hambrick-Dixon is an Assistant Professor of Educational Foundations and Counseling Programs at Hunter College.
Dr. LaPoint is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human
Development and Psychoeducational Studies School of Education,
Howard University.
Drs. Hambrick-Dixon and Lapoint organized the first ever Study Group and Invitational Scholar's Forum on Corporate and Industry Influences on Children's Development at Howard University in 1999. The seeds of our coalition were planted at that conference. Those of us who thought we were alone in our concerns about marketing to children, found we were mistaken. Let's continue to work together!
The Los Angeles School Board voted to ban soda machines from schools. They are joining school boards around the country, including Seattle, WA and Oakland, CA, who refuse to fund children's education at the expense of their health.
A new study reports that in addition to contributing to aggressive behavior, viewing media violence also fosters rude and mean-spirited behavior and a sense of suspicion and mistrust in children. The study, conducted by researchers at Brigham Young University, the National Institute on Media and the Family, and St. Mary's University, was conducted with 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. For more information: www.mediafamily.org
A recent article in the British medical journal LANCET reviewed the
research on childhood obesity, and concluded that, because the [childhood obesity] epidemic was not caused mainly by inherent biological defects, increased funding for research and health care, or focusing on new treatments, will probably not solve the problem without fundamental measures to detoxify the environment. The authors suggested a range of possible reforms, among them eliminating soft drinks and candy from school vending machines, imposing taxes on fast food and soft drinks,
subsidizing nutritious foods, prohibiting food advertising and marketing directed at children, and regulating political contributions from the food industry.

SCEC member Dads and Daughters' current ACTION is putting pressure on Buffalo Jeans by David Bitton. The company shamelessly sexualizes girls in their ads, and launches new fashion lines with events with titles such as "Porn Stars and Perverts" and "Pimps N' Ho's". (A Buffalo Jeans ad in the August CosmoGirl magazine shows a young woman in a pornographic pose.
See: http://www.dadsanddaughters.org/buffaloaction.htm)
Tell anyone you know who cares about girls to add their voice!!!
Pass the ACTION along to Internet groups, listservs, professional
networks, etc. Tell them to help stop irresponsible marketing to the
preteen readers of girls' magazines. Act now to:
A. Tell the national department store chain Macy's to stop carrying
Buffalo Jeans unless David Bitton changes its marketing.
Go to: http://capwiz.com/dads/issues/alert/?alertid=429231
B. Ignore Buffalo Jeans during your back-to-school shopping
C. Ask your local store managers to tell David Bitton that they
won't stock their clothes unless they clean up their act.

2nd ANNUAL SCEC SUMMIT ON THE HARMS OF MARKETING TO CHILDREN A GREAT SUCCESS!
On September 20, at the New York Yale Club, SCEC held its second annual summit on Marketing to Children, "Consuming Kids: Marketers' Impact on Children's Health." Held, once again, in the same building and at the same time as Kidscreen's Advertising and Promoting to Kids Conference, the Summit generated a great deal of press including an editorial news article in the prestigious British medical journal, The Lancet. Other press coverage includes a
column by Patricia McLaughlin syndicated by Universal Press, as well as articles in News Day, The New York Times on line, Reuters, and The Independent in Great Britain. Watch our website, www.commercialexploitation.com, for links to press coverage and more information about the Summit, including presenters
and topics. Summaries of the presenters' presentations will also posted soon.
As in previous years, this year's Golden Marble Awards, the industry awards for advertisement and promotional campaigns directed at children, were announced at the Advertising and Promoting to Kids conference. However, in a break with
previous years, there was NO gala event to mark the occasion. After our first two years of protest against them, this year they seemed to be downplaying the awards. Let's keep the pressure on - we're making progress!
Even as childhood obesity and eating disorders are on the rise, the Golden Marble Awards persist in celebrating marketing junk food to children; this was an area of special focus of our efforts this year. As you can see, a list of this year's winners reads like a who's who for childhood obesity:
The honorees for advertisements include:
* Saatchi and Saatchi - General Mills Fruit by the Foot
* Kidcom worldwide - Burger King
* Saatchi and Saatchi - General Mills Fruit Roll Up
* Leo Burnett - Kellogg's Eggo Waf-fulls
The Golden Marble honorees for promotion campaigns linking products and children's media programs include:
* Dreamworks for tie-ins with the animated film Shrek with companies like Baskin Robbins, Amercian Licorice Brand, Heinz and Burger King.
* Marketing Agent Norm Marshall for a Baskin Robbins/Shrek promotion. The ice cream chain created two new flavors for the film. According to an advance copy of Kidscreen magazine, sales at Baskin Robbins for May and June rose 9.4%
and 8.3% over the previous year.
* Cartoon Network and Kellogg, who had already partnered with a Power Puff Girls' cereal, invited kids not only to vote for a cartoon short that will be made into a real cartoon show, but to pick which Cartoon Network character could have its own cereal. A 5% increase in Cartoon Network viewership between the ages of
2 and 11 is attributed to the campaign which appeared through a tv spot, ads in grocery stores, and on about 30 billion boxes of cereal.
Concern about the high-powered marketing of junk food to children and how it is harming their health is not just the focus of activists in the United States. A group of influential organizations and individuals in Australia have formed a COALITION ON FOOD ADVERTISING TO CHILDREN (CFAC).
CFAC claims that Australia has the highest rate of TV food advertising to children in the world and that almost 80% of food advertisements during children's programming time is for food low in nutritional value and high in fat, sugar, and salt. It is calling for tightened regulations to protect children.

TRUCE (Teachers Resisting Unhealthy Children's Entertainment), a grass roots organization of early childhood educators concerned about how media, media violence and popular culture affect children, has just released the 2002-2003 TRUCE MEDIA VIOLENCE AND CHILDREN ACTION GUIDE.
The Guide provides materials to support parent's efforts to reduce the harm and promote change.
The guide will be available on the TRUCE web site shortly at
www.truceteachers.org. The PDF file can be downloaded in a form that is perfect for making copies to distribute.
By mid-November the group will also have its 8th annual 2002-2003 TRUCE TOY ACTION GUIDE available on the web site. It is designed to help adults make good gift choices for children over the holiday season.
Three HEALTHY NEWSLETTERS, published by Bridge Communications, advocate for the families of children in grades PreK-3, 4-5, and 6-8. The Newsletters provide accurate health information promoting healthy schools and health education in schools. Last spring, Healthy Choices for parents of students
in grades 6-8 carried an article discussing a high school in Wisconsin that features milk in its vending machines. SCHOOL VENDING MACHINES GOT MILK, along with other Healthy Newsletter articles can be found at www.Bridge-Comm.com.
In print since 1992, the Newsletters have reached over 10 million families in 35 states and were mentioned recently in Jane Brody's health column in the New York Times. They carry no advertising, discuss both physical and mental health issues and are reviewed by 20 leading health educators, preschool experts, and
pediatricians. For more information call 1-800-808-9314.
The Citizens' Campaign for Commercial-Free Schools (CCCS), a
rapidly growing, grassroots organization in Washington State, is working hard to get rid of commercialism in public schools. They recently held their first statewide conference, drawing 50 participants from around the state--a good cross-section of teachers, parents, health professionals, students and others.
CCCS won a big victory last fall by getting the Seattle School District to ban many forms of commercialism -- including Channel tne -- in its 100 schools.
This year, CCCS is developing a bill to ban junk food sales and marketing in schools statewide. With over 1800 individual supporters and 30 local and state organizational allies, they've been called 'a potent lobbying force' by the Seattle
Times. Check them out at www.scn.org/cccs or call 206.523.4922

Bottled water is going out of fashion, and for a good reason.
More than 8 billion gallons of bottled water is consumed every year. It's an industry that every year brings in about $11 billion. Considering the wet stuff falls free-of-charge from the sky, something just isn't right.
Well, if not for the pathetic nature of paying money for something that comes free naturally, maybe considering what we're doing to the environment might help.
Nearly 90% of plastic water bottles are not recycled and head right to the landfill. It takes plastic anywhere from 400 to 1,000 years to decompose. More then 40 million barrels of oil is used to produce the plastic needed for the bottling.
"It would be like filling up a quarter of every bottle with oil."
-Peter Gleick, water policy expert
So what about taste? And your health?
Since bottled water is less-regulated by the FDA than tap-water, in some cases, tap-water is actually safer than its bottled counterparts. According to a study, 25% of bottled water actually is tap water– sometimes further treated, sometimes not. Studies have shown there is no taste difference between the two.
The point is, bottled water doesn't appear to be better for you, taste better and certainly not eco-friendly. And if you're still drinking it, you're out of the loop.
The mayor of San Francisco just banned all bottled water from city buildings. Other cities, such as Salt Lake, are following suit. Many restaurants, many in New York City, have also capped their sale of bottled water.
So put down your Evian, your Fiji and your Dasani. This time, we're heading to the tap.

Full Disclosure: I feel like one of the last women in America to read Daring Greatly.
Unfortunately, this is probably because my pride got the best of me. To be honest, I thought I didn't need to read this book.
"Daring Greatly? Didn't I do that for years as a professional actor?," I thought to myself. "Isn't the epitome of vulnerability giving of our talents out into the world for producers, directors and the like who then decide if we're 'worthy'? Doesn't 'literally' singing for your supper 'count' as daring greatly?"
Clearly, I
had have issues–with pride and approval seeking, for starters. Thanks to Brené's words–and a series of events in my life as of late–I've realized I struggle mightily with shame, and could use a lesson or two {or twelve} on vulnerability and courage.
Revered Researcher and Professor of Social Work at the University of Houston, Brené Brown is known worldwide for her bestselling books, The Gifts of Imperfection and Daring Greatly, which sprang from her years of research and a self-proclaimed spiritual breakdown awakening she experienced after the viral success of her TED talks on vulnerability and shame.
"Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experiences." (p.12)
Truth be told, the amount of wisdom in this book is mind boggling–it's packed into the pages like a dense and fertile soil. Many readers consider this book a life changing read.
So many parts of this book struck a chord deep in my bones, and for someone who considers themselves to have done a good bit of 'soul work', it was amazing how many revelations came as a surprise.
Chapter One immediately began chiseling away at my armor and defenses, as I read about scarcity. As Brown says, "scarcity is the 'never enough' problem." (p.26) For years, I struggled as an insecure artist, believing if I didn't look over my shoulder constantly, hold myself to unrealistic standards, and strive for perfection in every creative endeavor, I would fall into obscurity. No matter your vocation or station in life, women in our culture are constantly battered with feelings of "not enough."
"When I look at narcissism through the vulnerability lens, I see the shame-based fear of being ordinary. I see the fear of never feeling extraordinary enough to be noticed, to be lovable, to belong, or to cultivate a sense of purpose." (p. 22)
Cara shared about a heartfelt moment between her and a friend, as they openly shared and confronted their feelings of shame. I've realized through reading this book that shame is a state I've lived in for quite some time, without realizing it was my home address.
Another game-changing lesson that connected deep with me was Brown's concept of "foreboding joy."
"In a culture of deep scarcity –of never feeling safe, certain, and sure enough–joy can feel like a setup …We're always 'waiting for the other shoe to drop.'" {p.118}
As anyone who has experienced a good bit of loss, I've realized first hand the unexpected terror joy can bring. My story has included losing multiple immediate family members to early death, failed relationships and fertility struggles. I'm living in a season of my life with a soul-mate husband I never expected to marry, and stability and security that was missing for most of my "starving artist" days. Those closest to me have gently reminded me that I am blessed to no longer live in a state of "constant crisis." I am beyond grateful for my circumstances, but I have to fight the tendency to live in a "foreboding joy" mindset. As Brown says, "we're trying to beat vulnerability to the punch. We don't want to be blindsided by hurt. We don't want to be caught off-guard." (p.121)
Thankfully, Brown's research showed the answer to foreboding joy is not just an "attitude of gratitude," but the practice of gratitude. Fully embracing the beauty of the ordinary moments, being grateful for what we have in the present, and wholly experiencing each tangible joy-filled event are all things we can do to to push back foreboding fears. (pgs. 125-126)
One chapter that I know resonated with many readers was one I have to confess that I didn't read. As someone who struggles with infertility {and the vulnerability it takes to talk about that in an online space}, I found myself turning past the "Wholehearted Parenting" chapter without missing a beat. I know there are many takeaways and gems to be mined there, which I'll read one day if I am able to receive the gift of a child.
I found it especially poignant, and maybe just a little bit ironic, that the whole time I was writing this post, I was plagued with fear, perfectionism, and unworthiness. Not in just my normal I'm-writing-words-for-the-whole-internet-to-see kind of way, but in a deeply personal, who-do-you-think-you-are kind of way.
Perfectionism is a demon I seem to have battled my whole life. I've learned you can make headway and healing in an area of your life, but those inner "gremlin thoughts"–as Brené so aptly calls them–will rear their ugly messages internally any chance they get.
I am in the midst of taking an online e-course with Brené Brown on The Gifts of Imperfection. I'm filling an art journal with words, paint strokes, collages and "all the feelings." I'm learning and re-learning things about my creativity and heart that I can implement into my present life. This action is just one of many I can take to step into a place of vulnerability that leads to courage and daring greatly.
To learn more about Daring Greatly and peruse The Nightstand, read the introductory post.
Questions to Consider:
- What does the world truly gain when you allow yourself to be vulnerable, and "dare greatly"?
- How has your understanding of vulnerability changed or grown through this book's message?
- What would happen if you allowed yourself to be fully open to healthy vulnerability and courage? How would that change your circumstances?
- What helps you overcome fear?
- What are your "gremlins," and what do they say to you to prevent you from true connection and growth?
- Do you use perfectionism as a shield? If so, what's the threat? What scares you the most about putting down the shield?

It's just a game folks! Pelosi, Kerry, and all the rest of these so-called "liberal" Catholics are fulfilling the role given to them by the Vatican and her Jesuits. The Romanists play all sides of the political spectrum, so that the Vatican will be on top in the end. Both Pelosi and Boehner invited the Jesuit priest Patrick Conroy to be the Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives. They are all in collusion folks! Wake up! It's a Jesuit Matrix, that's what the Matrix series was, "quintessentially" Jesuit. Neo is made up to look like a Jesuit and is called the ONE. Neo stands for the New World Order. "THE ONE" is he who is able to defeat all adversaries against the Jesuit plan to bring all the world under the control of the Great Whore of Revelation 17. The Jesuits made it look like they, in the image of "THE ONE" was fighting the NWO "Matrix" and trying to make themselves look like the good guys who want to bring in "Zion" according to the movie series, when in actuality the Jesuits and their minions are the progenitors and makers of the "Matrix" and the "Architect" is the Jesuit General controlled by their father Satan.
Remember, when they had the period after a successful mission where those in "Zion" danced to pulsating Jesuit music? The Jesuits want people who watch their movies to think that those who are fighting against the NWO will be helped and energized by this type of music, when in fact, this music blocks the real working of the Holy Spirit in a person's life and "energizes" the soul with the power of Satanic entities. I have gone on Catholic websites where they are promoting this kind of music to attract the youth to their programs, conventions, and foundations. The Jesuits have infiltrated all churches of every denomination, including Seventh-day Adventists, and have been promoting this kind of "Christian" contemporary music for decades since the 60's sexual revolution, which was secretly brought about by the Jesuits and their Romanist, and Satanic allies of all sorts.
BTW, the Trinity character in the "Matrix" series represents the the Great Whore, "Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth."
THE ONE is represented as loving "Trinity" so much that he is willing to wreck everything and everybody in his path to save her and this is exactly what the Jesuit General and his Jesuit pope are doing through all of the wars, intrigues of every sort, assassinations, and on and on and on. "And in her was found the blood of saints, and martyrs, and of ALL that are slain on the earth." ALL means ALL!
Another point: The matrix in the Bible is the female birth canal. This is telling. The "Matrix" is the "birth canal" of the Great Whore Mother Vatican and the Jesuits are working to birth their Satanic NWO through her "birth canal." It's all very symbolic folks and the Jesuits love using these symbols to manipulate unwary minds to accept what the Jesuits want the brains of the peoples of the earth to accept.

New Healthcare IT Certification Program
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
First we started with EHR certification. Then, we got meaningful use attestation. We also have the HIT professionl Competency exam. Now, we have a new healthcare IT certification program.
If you've read my posts for any amount of time, then you probably know how I feel about certifications in general. I don't like them. They offer such little value to the end user and often mislead people into trusting someone or something for something that the certification doesn't even represent.
With that understanding, I can't say I'm that much more excited about this new HIT certification program. However, I do think it's an interesting package that they've put together between EMR Approved, HITECH answers, and HIELIX. Let's call it what it really is, a great way for these 3 groups to sell more product.
I'm not sure how much this new HIT certification costs and what exactly they're offering people who do it. So, it's hard for me to say if it's worth it for someone to participate. I know the HITECH answers people put out some quality information about the HITECH act. That's likely the most relevant information for most IT firms trying to enter the EHR and EMR market. HIELIX might be a great product, but there are other free options out there like EMR Consultant. Plus, the EMR selection process is so personal that an automated solution isn't very good.
I'll be interested to see how well this HIT certification program does. Will they be able to create a brand that will last? That seems to be the key to having a great certification.

We are starting co-op this week, but I really do prefer park days - it is easier on me. Now that my schedule has been cut down, I want to add in music appreciation and a poetry tea time. I just don't know when we could work it in. I'll have to wait a couple of weeks until we get into the groove of co-op before I can even think of more changes. We are also two weeks away from studying Rome, but I think I will save Latin for the spring. I dropped my phone into the toilet last week. Amazingly, it still works, but the camera is dysfunctional. I am contemplating replacing it just so I can keep taking lots of pictures.

Sky has announced that its range of Apps on Google's Android, which include Sky+, Sky Go and more have apparently been hacked, and the apps have now been removed from the Google Play Store.
It looks like Sky's Twitter feed was also hacked, as a message was posted to it advising users of the apps to remove the Sky apps from their Android devices, this message did not come from Sky who have now released the following statement.
"Sky Android apps previously downloaded by Sky customers are unaffected and there is no need to remove them from an Android device."
The Sky Apps and Sky's Twitter feed were apparently hacked by a group called the Syrian Electronic Army, as the message 'Syrian Electronic Army was here', appeared on the official Sky apps on the Google Play Store.

Learning how to cook paleo food is critical to succeeding with a paleolithic diet. Here are cookbooks I've found useful.
The Primal Blueprint Cookbook from Mark Sisson should be the first cookbook you buy when going Paleo/Primal. The book gets you started by showing you simple, low-carb, dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free recipes. It shows how easy it is to make homemade broths and sauces. This book will help build a paleo/primal foundation from which you will construct your future health and well being on.
The Complete Meat Cookbook by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly. While not written from a paleo perspective, most of the recipes in here are perfectly paleo. In recipes that call for flour, I usually just leave the flour out or substitute with almond or coconut flour. When a recipes calls for sugar I use just about one third of the recommendation. This is a handy reference to have especially when you are cooking a cut of meat you are not familiar with.
Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon with Mary G. Enig. Is a great reference to have in a paleolithic kitchen. There are great in-depth recipes for stock and broth. Several pages devoted to fermented vegetables. And, of course, several meat recipes including fish, poultry, organ meats, wild game, beef and lamb. The section on sprouting nuts and seeds could be very useful too. There is a large part of the book dedicated to preparing grains and legumes, I prefer to avoid those foods all together. However, if you want to experiment with grains and legumes in your diet, the preparation methods reduce (not eliminate) the irritating compounds contained in grains and legumes.
The River Cottage Meat Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. This is an absolutely amazing book. This books teaches you absolutely everything you could ever want to know about domestic and wild meat. I don't think any kind of meat or preparation method was left out. I just love how he described cuts of meat, what you should ask your butcher when picking out meat, and so many other useful hints about meat. There is a whole chapter devoted to offal, enjoying organ meats is something I am appreciating more all the time. If you only bought this book for the photos as a coffee table book, it would be more than worth it.

The Gracious Legong DanceThis Bali dance of Legong (balih-balihan dance) is without any doubt the most gracious of all the dances. The dance is accompanied by the beautiful sounds of the gamelan.
The Legong dancers are often young girls around 8 to 10 years old and selected from the village for their beauty and suppleness.
They will perform the legong till puberty and then start dancing other types of traditional Bali dances.The Legong Keraton is performed by three dancers, two of them are the Legongs and the other is known as Condong.
The Legons are wearing identical costumes with tightly bound gold brocades and their faces are made up with detail to the eyebrows and their hair decorated with beautiful frangipani flowers.
Their movements are choreographed in detail with the twisting of the fingers, hands, feet and facial expression. This Bali dance is worth watching.
The Legong Kraton tells the story of a king, who kidnaps a maiden called Rangkesari. Her brother begs the king to let her free rather than to go to war.
The king ignores his begging and is on his way to the battleground when he meets a bird that brings ill omens. He ignores the bird and continues to meet Rangkesari's brother on the battleground, who kills him.

Erik Cernak makes Lightning Development Camp debut
Former Kings prospect was acquired for goalie Ben Bishop in trade at deadlineby Bryan Burns / TampaBayLightning.com
Erik Cernak has been in the Tampa Bay Lightning organization ever since the trade with the Los Angeles Kings that landed the defenseman prospect, backup goaltender Peter Budaj and a seventh round selection for the Bolts in exchange for Ben Bishop and a fifth round pick.
But on Tuesday, at the opening of Tampa Bay's annual development camp at the Ice Sports Forum, Lightning fans got their first up-close-and-personal look at the burly, puck-moving blueliner.
Cernak was one of 28 Lightning prospects in attendance at development camp (two more will arrive Wednesday when highly-touted defenseman Mikhail Sergachev and 2017 second round draft pick Alexander Volkov begin practicing), the group of promising youngsters spending part of the day in puck battle practice sessions before working on power skating under the tutelage of former pairs skating world champion Barb Underhill.
Video: Stacy Roest on the 2017 Development Camp
Cernak certainly looked the part in his development camp debut. Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing in at 208 pounds, he actually appears bigger than his measurable, his broad shoulders filling out his jersey and presenting an imposing figure for forwards to try to maneuver around. He shows a quick burst in skating drills and is fluid in his movements.
The Lightning are pretty happy with the potential they see in Cernak too.
"He's a big, strong, puck-moving defenseman that offensively can jump in, but he's probably going to be more of a defensive guy," Tampa Bay director of player development Stacy Roest said following the first day of camp. "He knows his limitations and knows what he needs to do to play the game.
Cernak spent the entire 2016-17 season with Erie of the Ontario Hockey League and helped lead the Otters to a league championship and runner-up spot at the prestigious Memorial Cup, which determines the best junior team among the three North American junior hockey leagues. In 50 regular season games with Erie, Cernak scored three goals, added 18 assists and was plus-31. He was just as consistent in the postseason, recording nine points (goal, 8 assists) and a plus-17 rating in 22 games.
"It was a great year," Cernak recalled of his season with Erie, his second at the OHL level. "We won the OHL championship and we lost in the Memorial Cup final. That was a little bit tough, but I think it was a really good season for me and for Erie."
Video: Howden on Day 1 of Development Camp
It was also a different season. He had never experienced being traded before in his career. Luckily in Erie, he had a few familiar faces in Anthony Cirelli and Taylor Raddysh, a pair of Lightning forwards already in the system who could help him make the transition from the Kings to the Bolts.
Plus, the Lightning were a team in need of defensive prospects, both at the NHL level and throughout the organization. He was a needed commodity: a hard-nosed, sizable, puck-moving, right-handed, two-way defenseman.
"After the trade, I called (Lightning general manager) Steve Yzerman. He told me Tampa is happy they got me, and I'm happy too," Cernak said. "And I have to work hard, play hard and this is my first development camp, first time in Tampa and I'm really excited."
Cernak can turn pro this season and is looking to make the jump to the AHL level and join the Syracuse Crunch this season.
"By the way he played and the way he looks, it's up to him," Roest said. "He's got to have a good summer and a good camp, but that looks pretty strong."
Cernak's biggest adjustment in transitioning from juniors to Syracuse will be keeping up with the pace of play at the AHL level.

"I think that's probably Erik's biggest thing is just going in and having a good summer and coming to prospects tournament and just ramping up the speed," Roest said.
Since acquiring Cernak, the Lightning have continued to bolster the blueline depth. They added Sergachev after trading Jonathan Drouin for the highly-touted defenseman. They drafted Cal Foote, son of former NHL blueliner Adam Foote, with the 14th overall pick at the 2017 NHL Draft. And they've watched the continued progression of defensemen already in the system, guys like Jake Dotchin, Slater Koekkoek, Ben Thomas and Dominik Masin, who all played a big role in Syracuse's run to the Calder Cup Finals.
"If you look back, we've been looking for some D-men here and there but obviously with the draft and Sergachev, the acquisition of him, I think it definitely looks real strong," Roest said about the defensive depth in the system currently. "And then Ben Thomas and Dom Masin, the way they played in the playoffs was very positive. I think it's definitely pretty deep now defensively."

5 Tips To Better Communication With Overseas Colleagues
For many planners, one of the more enjoyable perks of the job is getting to see the world and getting paid to do so. However, before bags are packed and the event begins, most planners will have to climb several mountains, jump through a few hoops and whip up a few miracles to get to the finish line. To help you do all that, here's an at-a-glance reminder list of smart strategies to employ when your venue is many time zones, oceans or languages away:
1) Know what time it is.
You're based in New York, your client's based in Chicago, your web designer is in Cairo and the venue is in South East Asia. If you've got a lot of short-lead deadlines, you better know what time zone all the players are on so you don't wind up calling in the middle of their night or blow a deadline because you didn't realize they were a day ahead. There are hundreds of sites to handle this simple but essential job, but my go-to is Time and Date's World Clock
2) Inconvenience yourself a little…
…and talk when their day starts, to help get the jump on yours. Recently I was working with teams in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, a 12-hour time difference for me. To ensure that I spoke with my colleagues first thing, I made the majority of my calls to them between the hours of 8 pm – 11:30 pm New York time. Conversely, they knew they could pick up the phone and call me before they left for the night, at the start of my day (which for the duration of the project was bright and early at 6 am.) Bottom line: for casual, non-conference call conversations, establish a few general time frames when both sides are likely to be reachable. Another tip: Use email time stamps as a general guide to your colleagues' hours so you have a sense as to whether they're early birds on the 9-to-5 plan or if they work on a more flexible or night owl schedule.
3) Email anytime, sort of.
Sending emails from the US, late on a Friday afternoon to a venue in Dubai, can be a recipe for, 'Sorry, I must have missed that,' because it wound up buried behind 200 other emails that sailed into their inbox over the weekend. Granted, while we may check our emails constantly and on weekends, your foreign colleagues may not, so, as with phone calls, try to send emails in the general vicinity of their normal business hours to help push your e-correspondence further to the top of their cue.
4) Skip the whasssss-uuups.
Working with overseas colleagues is all about communication and the very literal business of understanding each another. True, most of the time, planners work with overseas colleagues who are fluent in English, but it's important to keep in mind that many of our colloquialisms may not be in their verbal wheelhouse. What's more, they may be too polite to ask you to define your terms more intelligibly. So, how to keep communications clear? Until you have a better sense of how well they speak and write in English, your best bet is to keep your language simple – speaking a bit more slowly, using shorter sentences. Also keep slang, marketing jargon, heavily bureaucratic, technical, or legalistic catch phrases to a minimum.
5) Brush up their skills – and yours.
In written communications, be it conversational recaps, reminders or requests, also keep language simple and jargon-free. If you're unsure of the level of comprehension on the receiving end, try adding a translated version of your email to the bottom of your initial emails. Not only will it get your point across in their native tongue, but it will also help familiarize you with the local language, boosting your comprehension of a language you may already have some facility with. I like SDL's free translation service which has done a fine job of converting my prose into just about any language I've ever needed.
And one final thought: always be conscious of differing social mores when doing business abroad. The classic, international business etiquette book series Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands is a great place to start.

At the Western Canada Games earlier this month in NWT's Celena Hoeve won a silver medal in the event – Balance Beam.
The event is part gymnastics.
She was about 2 and a half when she started in the gym.
Her coach, Desiree Gautreau, says the balance beam is the most difficult event in gymnastics.
And the beam is where her talents shine.
On the beam she has to perform a series of skills without any wobbles, balance checks, poor techniques, or tumbles.
The balance beam is about 4 inches wide.
Made out of wood and steel, covered by a basketball like surface.
Gautreau describes the progression on how Hoeve made it to the beam.

Wedding in Ashford Castle, Cong, Co. Mayo
Got working on a wedding in Ashford Castle, Cong, Co. Mayo the other weekend.
I love photographing weddings in Cong as I am spoiled for choice in terms of nice locations around the area.
Needless to say, Ashford Castle is stunning both inside and out. I must head over day some day (when im not on a job) and go for a walk around the grounds.
I was asked to be the wedding photographer for this couples special day. It was one of the most chilled out weddings Ive done to date with no more than ten people attending.

On Thursday, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputies raided the Alpine Valley Bread bakery outlet in Mesa and arrested 24 suspected illegal aliens who used stolen Social Security numbers and fake driver's licenses to obtain their jobs.
According to Sheriff Arpaio, his department was investigating additional employees for similar violations.
Arpaio told reporters gathered in front of the bakery: "People accuse me of arresting just dishwashers. These people are committing crimes to get their jobs. Stealing someone's identity is a felony."
To date, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has conducted 48 worksite enforcement raids, resulting in hundreds of arrests.

Hampstead will be flashed around the world Friday when the Tour DuPont bike race whizzes through town.
At 12:20 p.m., about 128 bicyclists will enter Carroll County on Black Rock Road east of Hampstead. They'll ride into town behind St. John's United Methodist Church, turn north on Route 30 near Bob's Variety Store, ride up Main Street, then go west on Route 482, past North Carroll High School, and on into Westminster along Railroad Avenue, en route to Frederick County and Hagerstown.
Tour DuPont is an 11-day race that begins today in Wilmington, Del., and ends in Greensboro, N.C. Last year, a crowd cheered the racers onward through Hampstead as the pack slowed around St. John's Church.

BatBike Soul Transplant
I've blogged several times about my faithful commuter bike, The Bicycle of Theseus:
It's an incredibly old beater: I've had it since about 1989--yeah, my undergrad days. Being an inveterate tinkerer, I have continuously replaced and upgraded parts since then. The original parts are: the frame, the front fork, the handlebar stem, front & rear deraileurs, and the left crank arm. It's faster to list what's original instead of what's been replaced.
...the title of this post is a reference to The Ship of Theseus--that Philosophy 101 paradox: if an entire ship is replaced, piece by piece, would it be, in the end, the same ship?
However, on these daily commutes, I've toyed with the idea of getting myself a new bike. I know, shocking, given my engineering cheapness gene, and my buy-less-stuff attitude. However, my folding bike (from 2008) was a noticeably nicer bike than my main one.
Then a few months ago, REI had a clearance sale... including a bunch of bicycles... I was sorely tempted by the Marin Bolinas Ridge Mountain Bike ('09 Closeout). After hemming and hawing, I ordered it and had it delivered for pickup. Man... I probably shouldn't agonize about amounts of money of that magnitude, but I do. More importantly, with my close-to-daily cycle commute, it would definitely get used well; I would be getting my money's worth, and it would be a long-term investment. After all--I've had my old bike since friggin' 1989... at this rate, I'll be buying another replacement bike when I'm age 60 or so.
Anyway, on to the new bike, as I got it from the store:
Time to tear it down, and customize it into the new BatBike...
There were a load of things to do:
- Soul transplant: to maintain some continuity, I just swapped over the rear fender, handlebar ends, rear view mirror, and the pedals with toe clips. Yeah, I'm not hard-core enough for clipless pedals.
- New bright lights, front and rear. Be visible, people!
- Front fender: I was worried that with a front suspension, that a fender would be hard to come by. No such problem--SKS Shockblade was on the display rack at the bike store... simple and secure attachment.
- Tires--had to transplant over the Schalbe Big Apple city slick tires, of course.
- A new lock, to keep it all safe.
- The handlebars were way too high in the original setup... I felt like I was leaning back and driving a crosstown bus. I had never played with a threadless headset, but changing the stem height wasn't that big of a deal.
- I prefer "straight stick" handlebars, with bar ends--bought new handlebars and swapped them in. Plus I like to customize them by cutting them as narrow as practical... all the better to get between cars without worrying about thwacking a side mirror.
And the finished result:
So how do I like it, and how does it ride? I'm definitely happy. Nice light frame, ergonomics are now set up like I want them, and all new components means shifting and pedaling are smooth.
But all of you are definitely free to mock me, for totally modding up a mountain bike, primarily for city commuting use. Duh, I know, I know, I ought to be getting a skinny tire non-suspension city hybrid. Or a touring bike. But I think I need to maintain my identity as "fat dude riding on fat tires, pedaling until he gets there"... so I'll call that my excuse.
However, I now have a faithful old commuter bike left over. Does anyone know of a good home? Or should I keep it around as a "guest bike," like Jofish does?
