Hey guys. So today I'm writing from a very real, raw, vulnerable place. Today is a less than ok day. I've been less than OK since Friday. Since therapy. They do tell you it gets worse before it gets better. Walking out your trauma is definitely something you need to be sure you want to do. It shakes things lose that you didn't even know existed. I think that's the scariest part, finding out you're even more broken than you thought. Learning that there is so much more to the memories you choose to remember.
Trauma is something that doesn't have an appropriate time, it has no appropriate space. We weren't designed for trauma. God put us in a garden for crying out loud! He created everything perfectly and then us. Why? He was preparing us a place. Then, he build us to thrive in that place. We were given dominion over everything. Everything was within our control. Sounds great right?
Trauma is the polar opposite of this peaceful place God gave to us. It invades without warning and without welcome. It taints everything it touches. There are many different variables and many different faces of trauma. It really depends on what a person considers trauma to be, their perception of pain and loss. How sudden was the trauma? How long did it last? How many times did it repeat? It can either push you to be better or drive you to be worse. This is how trauma/abuse cycles are perpetuated and broken. Everyone can choose to end their cycle it just may take more work for some. It isn't easy regardless of what you may have gone through. The direct treatment for trauma is to evaluate it, to explore it. to find a healthy way to cope with it. You have to face those demons down. For some this can be only the first or second time looking at these situations. Only that person and a trained professional can say for sure what they are experiencing.
For some their walk includes readily available resources and a strong support network. Their walk is filled with positive experiences and they are able to heal and overcome whether it was a single event or several over several years. There are people whose coping skills are no match for what they have suffered, the stress of the trauma was too much for them to handle. They are the ones who have the break downs. The messy ones. Some we hear about on the news, others are swept under the rug into institutions or heavily medicated. For them, their walk will be the most intensive if they are to ever heal. They are the people that we middle grounded people are terrified we'll become one day.
As for us middle grounders (the biggest group), we may have a decent support network but heavy trauma. We may have no support network and less trauma. Some can have no support and a lot of trauma. The thing about middle grounders is that we are the self-sufficient group. The ones who have learned to handle the trauma the best way we can. Holding our ground, digging in our heels and refusing to break down.
In my case, my trauma started at 6 months old. I have had many different types of trauma over my life span. My 80+ significant (some ongoing) traumatic events fall into eight of the seventeen categories on this list. There is just too much to list here. When my therapist made me write my timeline down it took eight sheets of paper. I didn't remember everything right away. It took a lot of effort on my part to get it all out. I still forgot some things. There was just so much.
See, when you have been through a lot of trauma and choose not to deal with it, your mind can build this safe little closet. It crams as much of the crap in there that it can and then it crams in some more. Now, there are lots of reasons for this. Some people's minds do it automatically. Some choose to do this out of necessity; soldiers, parents, students, their lives just have no space for it, there are careers, kids, church, volunteer work, housework, etc. When do they get the time, energy, space to have a meltdown? The short answer is they do not.
I have several different "diagnoses". I was written off as manic depressive (bi-polar) in sixth grade. I started seeing my therapist this time for generalized anxiety and codependent behavior. Friday, she told me that she believes I have PTSD. I don't know if that takes the place of everything else or just adds to it. I'm not the kind of person to live by a label. I do take these seriously but only to understand myself and how I am feeling, which can be difficult for me. I choose to be healthy. I choose to have a "sound mind" like God promised me.
I have been in therapy this time for about four months. I go every week. If my schedule allowed I'd go more. If you knew me and my experience with therapists and psychologists and psychiatrists (I've seen all three), then you would know what a big deal that was for me. We are just now getting into the real stuff. The heavy stuff.
I wanted to write yesterday but I couldn't figure out what to say. I tried to find something relevant to share with you but I just couldn't seem to find anything that actually helped me feel better. I was just all over the place. My heart and mind in knots. I read my Bible last night and listened to my meditation app to help me fall asleep. Even so, I didn't sleep well. I do not profess to have this all figured out. What I do know is that I take it a day at a time.
We all hear the stories of people's miraculous healing, either in church or private prayer. Their faith was just so great that Heaven touched them in a real and powerful way. i have seen this personally for those I love and those in my church. I am learning that this is not my story. God and I have talked a lot about it. He keeps telling me longevity. I finally started looking at it today.
Longevity means long life or long existence or service. Just Google long life bible verses and you'll see over and over God promises us a rich, fulfilling, LONG life. I am a right now person. That's part of anxiety. Everything needs to happen now. I get burnt out and feel lost. I get depressed and stressed out. I make a mile long to do list of impossibilities.
It's difficult for someone like me to hear these positive, change demanding speakers and sermons because I say "Yeah! I'm different NOW!" and the truth is I'm not. Well, I am different now but it's a walk. I choose everyday to be better than I was yesterday. Someone once said, if Christ himself suffered, who are we to believe we won't? That really resonated with me because I felt such guilt at not being able to effect immediate change in my life, in my mental health. Now, God did promise that Jesus bore the judgement we deserve and because of that all of the effects of the curse are negated to those who choose to believe it. However, if you do not experience a life, body, soul, spirit altering encounter with the Lord then you will have to walk out your healing in a gradual way. Those who receive instant healing still have to choose it everyday, just like we do.
Christ walked the earth for 30 years before the cross, he performed miracles, signs and wonders followed him everywhere he went. He was literally God in flesh. Yet In Matthew 26 we see him afraid. He goes away and prays three times. The first and second time he begged God to find another way, telling God he accepts his fate if there wasn't one.
Someone (Marcella Vonn Harting, PhD) said this weekend at Young Living's Live Your Passion Rally, that pain comes when we try to fight our reality. When something happens that we resist we cause pain. How do we not do that? The only way is to be fully present in each moment.
That is another very profound truth. Reflecting on the past can be good, it can be an indication of growth and give us so many instances to show others how God was faithful. Dreaming about our future gives us direction, it can reveal what we desire most, this helps us determine our purpose. But, when there has been trauma and our minds say it should have been this way or now I can never get here or do this; it causes us pain. Wow.
So, we all know what happened, Jesus accepted the cross. He died and rose and now we have a hope for life eternal. These past few days I've been struggling with my mind, how I haven't been handling everything very well. I had everything crammed in the closet and now it's trying to bust out and crush me.
I emailed my therapist and she reminded me to have compassion on myself. Honestly, my first thought was what does compassion have to do with anything? I need you to tell me what's going on and what to do! Well, she did.
Compassion is a form of acceptance.
Being present is a form of acceptance.
Telling God you trust him is a form of acceptance.
Do I accept that I am sick? Yes, much like someone accepts a cold. Am I a cold, is it my identity? No, I am not. Will I overcome? Yes, I will. Do I plan my future around a cold? Maybe short term right? So I CAN HEAL. But, years into the future? No I do not.
Now, PTSD, depression, anxiety, fear, loss, grief, all these things are much more serious than a cold. The healing takes longer. Jesus said, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak…" God "quickens our spirits" and this is why we "will run and not grow weary". Physically we cannot keep up with our spirits, if we do not exercise wisdom and listen for God to speak to us. (Also, if we hear but do not follow through) The power of our desires drive us. If our desire does not line up with God's Word and Will then, we will burnout. We simply cannot sustain it. God wants us to heal our spirits and souls but not at the cost of our bodies.
Longevity is going the distance. It is being consistent and constant. God is calling me to run my race. To trust Him to be there. He is calling me out of the comfort of this familiar life. Because it can be trauma in itself to change.
Even on days like today, when I'm not able to handle much. When any schedule variance just sets me off. When I cry over something that seems infinitely small and the only emotions I can bring myself to accept are frustration and guilt and fear. When God nudges me and says it's ok. Be present, don't run from it. I am here. Feel this out, own your experiences and hand them over to me. You cannot give me anything that you haven't owned. I trust in his promises and regardless of how I feel I do my best. I love Him the same. I may not praise or pray the same but that's why he gives me mercy and grace. He meets me where I am, moment to moment, ready for me to invite Him in. No pressure, no judgement.
We have built up these temples around the alters of our dysfunction. "Nothing can stop my anxiety." "My fear will always win." "I can't get past this." I encourage you to read Isaiah 46. God speaks directly to the lies of idols. Yes, suffering can become our idol. Claim these promises for yourself.
4 even to your old age I am he,
and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will save.
It takes a lot of courage to face yourself. It takes a lot of courage to throw away your excuses and choose life and life more abundantly. Life abundant is new, it isn't something you're used to. The pleasure in your life has been fleeting. You cannot trust it. I promise you, you can trust Christ. The fact that you've come this far, to where you are today, is enough. Have compassion, practice compassion. Forgive yourself and try again. Speak Peace over your mind and heart. Cry out to God when you're scared. Believe you can do it.
I believe I can.
I believe you can.
I believe God can.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
"The girl with the dragon tattoo" has a quite interesting plot, though the storyline was bulky and slow. some episodes were not necessary and could have been avoided. but overall it was an original story. I kind of have an admiration for Lisbeth Salander. actually she is the embodiment of the strong woman who doesn't allow herself to be fooled twice, who faces life despite all the men, mainly Nils Bjurman, who made her miserable. indeed, she has other idiosyncrasies, which make her a rather unique and outstanding character but on the inside she incarnates a more complex individual. she has got an incredible intelligence and memory for instance. i understand that Stieg Larsson created Lisbeth based on traumatising events he himself has experienced and he wanted to condemn the ill-treatment of women through Lisbeth, which i believe is a laudable attempt. on the other hand you've got Mikael Blomkvist who i despise above all. he is the womanizer type and thus disgust me a lot. what was more aberrant was his relationship with Erika Berger. but anyways he was a very intuitive "detective" in the "Harriet Vanger" affair. concerning the latter, it was so predictable that poor Harriet was still alive. how naive of Henrik Vanger to jump to the conclusion that his niece was murdered when no evidence about her death was ever found. she disappeared so what? you lose hope of finding her alive? but i found it very daring from Harriet to just disappear to Australia for so many years without being discovered. when you've got a brother and a father like hers, her actions were understandable. besides, i think that the story should have come to a stop after the "Harriet Vanger" case because the book got quite boring afterward when all the focus was diverted to trapping Hans-Erik Wennerström. the storyline got dull to an extent i wanted to stop reading the book. but i finished it though and the ending was quite a "sad" one. poor Lisbeth!

Second Place Winner for the Great Hall-iday Challenge of 2011, for the prompt "Christmas at Ground Zero."
This is crazy717 (Abi) of Gryffindor house writing for the final in the MWPP class on the Beta Boards.
It's Harry's first Halloween, but the raging thunderstorm prevents an overly eager Lily from taking him out to trick-or-treat. Instead, she, James, and Sirius spend one of their last carefree moments together.
Diana has always been different. She can make objects move without touching them. She can command animals without training them. She always seems to know when someone is lying to her. And strange things always seem to happen when she's sad or angry....
But even when the enigmatic Professor Dumbledore comes to tell her that this is all normal for someone like her, there are other things that still set her apart. She has no memory from before age eleven. She hears voices whispering to her when no one is there. And there is something more sinister lurking inside her, something that reminds Dumbledore of another student he had so many years ago....
Diana's birth was no accident. Someone has dark plans for her, and unless she can solve the Riddle of her past she may just become the very thing she strives to destroy.
As the world around them darkens, Lily, James and the Marauders struggle to find reasons to live - friendships, love, and the future.
Now a series of one-shots!

Comment: I sincerely hope it isn't so but, as this piece of excrement being passed off as investigative journalism so clearly points out and since we're seeing more opinion pieces being passed off as news reporting, it does look as though the JT has taken a sharp left turn toward the Dark side of
I agree with the author's premise here that the military is a big polluter. Why shouldn't they be, they're simply an arm of the government and government's around the globe are known to be the biggest polluters of all. But to call Okinawa the junk heap of the pacific is a bit of a reach. This reporter obviously hasn't been to China, Thailand, Vietnam or God Bless them, the Philippines lately. My guess is he's a recent Jayson Blair School of Journalism graduate and hasn't left his his cubicle in the times offices except to go to the local scarf and barf eatery, their favorite bar or the toilet down the hall in quite awhile!

TrellyPolish just came out with some new shades. They were of course stunning, so I picked up 2 of them. Here is the first I tried, and I also incorporated so nail art with it to compliment the name:
The bay area fog was lingering this morning....
This is Trelly's MISC Polish- Banana Bubblegum. It is a mixture of all shapes and sizes of pastel yellow, pink, and true yellow glitters. Every shape from circles, hexagons, and squares! It was very easy to work with, but I always have the problem of putting too much glitter on! I think that is why there are a whole bunch of tiny air bubbles....Does anyon know why that happenns?
The green base is two coats of Lime Crime- Pastelchio. The orange is two coats of Lime Crime- Peaches n Cream. And the purple is two coats of China Glaze- That's Shore Bright (Sunsational Collection Summer 2013). My favorite combo is on the purple for sure!
Lastly, the poorly executed "bananas" on my tips were made by using China Glaze- Happy Go Lucky. Once that dried, I used my trusty Orly Instant Artist- Jet Black striper for the lines. I really wanted to do a cute banana blowing a bubble gum bubble, but I knew that would have just came out worse than what I actually did!
This Trelly shade is currently out of stock, but I am sure she will restock it if there is a high demand for it!

Saturday January 7th 2017 has been a day that I have realised that my long standing apathy towards Lincoln City Football Club is over. The club was five minutes away from deservedly beating a side from three divisions above, a feat that would come just weeks after beating a side from two divisions above for the second time since our relegation to the Conference in 2011. Alas, a late equaliser meant that the Imps will be forced to play their sixth FA Cup tie of the season in the hopes of drawing one of the big-boys in the fourth round, all whilst still trying to win promotion back to the Football League and mount a successful run in the FA Trophy.
I had gained a general numbness towards the football club a few years ago and it arguably started just a few months after we started our first season back in the Conference. I was sat at an away game at Kettering Town, who were then playing at Nene Park in Irthlingborough, and everything about the club had become a cancer when the person next to me said to his friend "why do we put ourselves through this stress every week?" and it got me thinking. I hadn't been enjoying the football for some time but I was still going on a regular basis, infact I didn't miss a single game between August 2005 and October 2013, but towards the end there were very few positives to it.
What made this even worse was that I was actually running a website based on the club at the time, but my opinions were always different of others and being completely honest, I don't think I was mentally mature when dealing with criticism. I've always said that I don't care if people like me or not, but in some respects I can't honestly say that given how I reacted to some of the criticism, even when it was completely justified. Putting it bluntly, I was a dick.
The club at this point had been on a downward spiral for several years and relegation had felt like an inevitability. We were helmed by a chairman that very few had faith in because of a reputation of saying one thing and then doing completely the opposite.
The inevitable relegation came in May 2011. I felt numb, as you can tell from the below.
A succession of uninspiring managerial appointments, protests against the board and a variety of other things made the club not fun to be around, the place had become a cancer. Any semblance that some fans had that we were too big for the non-league was quickly stifled as we were eliminated from the FA Cup by Alfreton and the FA Trophy by Carshalton Athletic. The latter of those two results was one of the worst moments I ever had as a Lincoln fan, and it wasn't just the manner of the defeat to a side that I believe were three divisions below us at the time, it was that it wasn't really a surprise.
That's the thing about non-league, just when you think you've hit rock bottom, along comes something that can be described as an embarrassment, and other than the aforementioned Carshalton game, nothing was more humbling than going into the final seven days of the 2012/13 season with the realistic possibility of being relegated to the Conference North. What made this even more galling was that just before those seven days came an away game at Luton. Luton were midtable at the time, certainly not a force of any kind, and Gary Simpson (the manager at the time) basically said "well we weren't going to win anyway" after a lifeless and shambolic 3-0 defeat. I don't think I'd ever felt so empty after a game before. Fortunately we would win our final two games, against Tamworth and Hyde respectively, to avoid a second relegation in 24 months.
It was around this time that I moved to Blackburn in Lancashire to work for BT Sport. I kept up my record of going to every game before I finished work late one night, meaning I'd had an hour to make the near 150 minute trip from Lancashire to Lincoln. Safe to say that I wasn't even going to try that madness, so I missed my first Lincoln game in more than eight years. It was a strange feeling as I listened from my laptop just ten minute walk away from Ewood Park, but it also felt like a bit of a relief, especially as it turned out to be a 0-0 draw with Tamworth. I no longer felt like I had to attend games for the sake of attending games, and within two months there were several games when I was not even attempting to go, and I made a decision in a game against Grimsby Town on Boxing Day 2013 (a 2-0 defeat that was about as comfortable as they come) that the next game against Halifax would be my last game as a regular. Instead I filled the time with going to random games around Lancashire and working at Blackburn Hawks Ice Hockey as a member of the media team.
That was it, I only attended one game for the remainder of the season, and in the season afterwards I only went to games that were near Lancashire. I returned to Lincolnshire at the end of 2014, but even then I wouldn't go on a regular basis.
By now Chris Moyses was in charge of the club and things were getting a bit ridiculous. The club were seemingly not ambitious enough to push for anything more than midtable, and the board announces major financial issues. Arguably the popular forum for Imps fans, the Facebook group known as "Lincoln City Banter" were allegedly launching all over anyone who dared to be critical of Moyses. I say allegedly because I had left that forum in 2013 after having a bit of a disagreement with most on there regarding an issue that I won't go into. The club was not a fun place to be. I still looked out for results but other than that I was done.
Come the summer of 2014 I decided to go to the odd game here and there, mainly at stadiums that I had never been to. The team had started the season well by the time I went on the away trip to Eastleigh. What I saw that day was far different than what I had left behind. The players cared, they tried. Had I been watching a group of players that were all trying their hardest then I would have happily stayed as long as I could, but I could count the amount of players that were putting in effort over the previous few years very quickly.
At that point I thought I'd go and watch them more ofton, infact I went less than a month later as they put in a decent performance against perennial promotion chasers Grimsby (who were eventually promoted that season), as well as a few other games. In my career I gained a promotion and moved away from Lincoln again, this time to Leeds, and as I had two jobs I couldn't really justify going regularly. I seemed to time it quite well as an issue with Liam Hearn, one of our top goalscorers at the time, completely knocked the Imps out of their stride, and it came as little surprise when a promotion chasing start to the season became another midtable finish.
However, things off of the pitch were taking a turn as Clive Nates joined the club and investment came with him. City suddenly had something that they hadn't had for a while, money. Moyses decided to step down as management and the club took their time over appointing a successor, but most were very happy with the outcome.
For the previous few years Danny and Nicky Cowley had seemingly flown completely under the radar of most before taking a largely written off Braintree side to the 2015/16 Playoffs against all odds. That came after three promotions in six years with Concord Rangers. For once Bob Dorrian had actually lived up to his promise of appointing an young, upcoming manager with excellent non-league knowledge. The appointment was largely accepted and praised by the fans. It was the first time in a long time that the club had made an ambitious managerial appointment.
Cowley instantly won any doubters over and you could tell that he wasn't going to be at the club for very long, but in the good sense and even now, eight months after his appointment it just feels like we've got him on loan. It is widely accepted that it's only a matter of time until he moves onto something bigger and better. He is someone who has the capability and potential to go right to the top.
Anyway, I digress. Due to living in Leeds I still wasn't able to go to many games, a few, but not many. However, as the Imps started the season very well a few of our games were chosen for TV, so I sat and watched and the difference between now and when I stopped going regularly just over four years ago is immeasurably, it's a different club.
Now only are we a good footballing team, the club is as one. My favourite season following the Imps so far also happened to be the first that I went to every single game, the 2002/3 season. That season had a real "Team Lincoln" feeling. Everyone was in it together, an "us against the world" mentality. No team that I will ever seen in a Lincoln shirt will ever match that team for their bond with the fans, but the team of 2016/7 comes extremely close.
By October I had relocated to London, making most games impossible to get to, but I managed to watch the Oldham game on TV, getting complaints from the neighbouring rooms in the hotel for how loud I was cheering as City took a three goal lead against a side two divisions above us. The game eventually finished 3-2 in Lincoln's favour, but no-one watching can be convinced that it was a game with just a single goal difference between the sides.
That was one of seven wins in a row as the team came within one game of equalling the club's record unbeaten run.
The reward for beating Oldham was a trip to Ipswich, a tough proposition as they are three divisions above the Imps, and regardless of form or confidence, three divisions counts for a lot. Despite that, confidence was high in the Imps camp, so much so that over 4,800 Imps made the trip to Suffolk, an insane amount considering it was more than quadruple what we took to Bristol Rovers for a Playoff Semi Final in 2007, and more than 1,300 than against Huddersfield at the same stage three years earlier.
As I couldn't get to Sincil Bank to get a ticket, I decided to get a ticket in the Ipswich end, more precisely at the top of their main stand. What I saw can't really be put more appropriately than noting that the same Ipswich fans that booed their team off at the end of the 2-2 draw stayed behind to applaud the Imps off of the pitch. It was the first time I've personally known that to happen.
The togetherness I saw from the team, their relationship with the fans and a manager who is tactically competent for the first time since the days of Keith Alexander, has put a smile on the face of everyone connected with the club. Add to the success on the pitch is the fact that Bob Dorrian announced that the club is now in the black financially, a significant step, and an important one.
I've got my club back!

Does Karma Apply to Cheating in Relationships? – Living The 'GOoD' Life!.
Karmic seeds planted today will either become plants that nourish or weeds that choke. Obviously, this statement applies to those who believe in karma – "the principle of retributive justice determining a person's state of life and the state of his reincarnations as the effect of his past deeds". But for those who do not accept this ancient eastern philosophical belief, a comparable modern western idiom, "laugh now, cry later", may perhaps be more suitable to digest.
I will not argue for or against the validity of karma because it seems non-productive to argue beliefs. So much drama and hateful words generally degrades any civil attempt(s) at gaining understanding, purely based on that which requires faith. Thus, we either believe or we do not. In my life experience I find karma to be more than just a philosophical principle. For me, and I suspect many, "what goes around, come around".
Such is the case with regard to cheating, specifically, in relationships. Does karma apply in this dramatic play between loving hearts? If karma is a universal principle, then surely it would also apply to intimacy. How come people, generally speaking, claim "I made…click here to continue reading.

Eating a salad loaded with veggies is an easy gluten-free meal, as long as the toppings and dressing are gluten-free, too. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye and barley that causes allergies and sensitivities in some people. Learning all the names and sources of gluten in packaged food can be a challenge, but once you master a few tricks to identify gluten-free food, you'll breeze through the grocery store with confidence.
Read the nutrition facts panel on the salad dressing bottle. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires products to have a food allergen statement. If the product says "contains wheat" at the end of the ingredient list, the dressing has gluten. If the statement isn't there, the dressing may still have gluten, so keep reading.
Look at the salad dressing ingredient list. If you see wheat, rye or barley or wheat in parenthesis after an ingredient, the dressing contains gluten. Common ingredients in salad dressings that may contain gluten are artificial color, dextrin, ground spices, natural flavorings, malt, malt vinegar, flour, soy sauce and food starch.
Call the food manufacturer or visit the company's website. If you are unable to determine if a salad dressing has gluten, the manufacturer's customer service department should be able to confirm if the product is gluten-free or not.
- An easy way to avoid gluten in salad dressing is to buy dressings that say "gluten-free" on the label. You can also make your own with olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and herbs.
- If you have celiac disease or a wheat sensitivity and are unsure if a dressing is gluten-free, it is best to avoid it in order to prevent unwanted side effects.

Working with Wayne Gisslen, author of numerous cookbooks, Jim has created a formidable library of culinary images from all stretches of the world of gastronomy. A pioneer in how we envision our food, Jim took culinary photography to new levels during his years of work with the world-renowned chef.
To make food look as delicious and delightful on a page as it is in real life is no easy task. These images show how two practiced talents can make a 2D image come to life.
When it comes to culinary procedures it's often the case that one picture is worth a thousand words. Jim has mastered the art of creating award winning procedure shots for the many cookbooks he has worked on. His beautifully photographed visuals make cooking instructions easy to follow.
His photographs are immensely educational because the viewers right hand and left hand are the chefs right hand and left hand, leaving no doubt the proper way to make chocolate candy, peel tomatoes, braid bread, and much more. Flexibility, good taste, and creativity are evident in all of Jim's procedure shots.
Set on 80 historic acres, 1712 House blends 21st century comforts with 18th century charm. Completed in 2002, the Inn has six unique guest rooms. A delicious breakfast, cooked just for you, is included each morning. All this set within eighty acres of rolling fields, mature woods, ponds and clear mountain streams.
Jim's photography brings out all of the best aspects of this delightful house in its idyllic setting, creating a scene that one can hardly resist visiting.
Sloan Architects, P.C. has established their reputation as one of the most well-respected and versatile firms in the Hudson Valley and the northeast. Recognized for their ability to take into account every aspect of a project, Sloan Architects has garnered such clients as the Anderson Center for Autism and Vassar College, as well as many other commercial and residential projects.
Their attention to detail, versatility and eye for design brought them to Jim Smith Photography. Jim's similar taste in aesthetic of clean professionalism with an imaginative eye, hit the perfect note that Sloan Architects needed when it came to marketing their skillful and thoughtful architectural work.
Rich and restrained, elegant yet comfortable. Jim's room interiors capture homes nobody wants to leave. No wonder he is sought after by discerning clients to showcase lovely residences throughout the Hudson Valley. Jim and his crew stage each interior and the effect is spare, yet sumptuous. His images are atmospheric, intimate and relaxed.
Jim uses existing light enhanced by subtle strobes that time and time again create an attractive ambience. The common factor is simplicity, warm textures, and good photography. And that's the heart of it, the elusive art of photographing environments where people enjoy life. Jim has emphatically mastered capturing real room interiors.

How Long Does It Take for Kidneys to Heal2017-10-02 07:23
Our kidneys have immense self-healing ability. That is why acute kidney failure patients can restore their function completely as long as there are no other factors complicating things. For chronic kidney failure patients, they can also heal kidney damage to a certain extent. How long does it take for kidneys to heal? Now go on reading to learn more information.
How long it takes for kidneys to heal depends on the severity of kidney damage.
If your kidney tissues have been scarred or severely damaged, no treatment can help you revitalize them. If your kidneys tissues are just inflamed, proper treatment can help them restore their function in several months.
Treatment in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital to help the kidneys to heal
In our hospital, after about one week's treatment, you will see floccules in urine, which are those waste accumulating in body. After about half month's treatment, your high creatinine level, high urea level and high uric acid level will go down. Symptoms such as weakness, swelling, proteinuria, high blood pressure and so on will get relieved. After about one month's treatment, your kidney function will start to increase. In general, it takes 3 months for the kidneys cells to heal themselves. And the treatment usually needs about 6-9 months. When all the indexes return to normal range, you can stop the medications.
Treatment in our hospital includes Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Foot Bath, Enema Therapy, Navel Therapy, Mai Kang Mixture, oral Chinese medicine, etc. They are often used together to make internal environment good for kidney self-healing and other medication application by expelling waste products and extra fluid out of body, activating blood circulation, removing stasis, improving blood circulation, etc. After clearing about your medical condition, we can give you personalized guidance on treatment.

Some of the most interesting art I make is when I paint over something that didn't quite work out. This is an example of doing that. I had done a still life demo for a painting class. It was of fruits and vegetables. It kind of worked, but not really. Later I decided the fruits and vegetables would look nice as shapes in this painting. I was able to play off the colors and shapes by using linear shapes, and cool and warm colors. The orbs added interesting areas that the eyes stopped on and created a pattern which helps movement. They are notes which contrast with the greater harmony of the piece.
Music and Art are related, in that both use the same elements. One of my favorite art theory books was written by the great abstract painter, Wassily Kandinsky. It is called, "Concerning the Spiritual in Art." He discusses how color is like notes, and can create harmonies or dissonance. If an artist understands color and how to use it, an artist is able to create emotional experiences for the viewer, in a similar way that a composer can do this with music.
I strive for this in my artwork.

So I was scouring the pantry and came across some chocolate cake mix and decided to bake today. Shopping, baking, movie watching, blogging, what a perfect day!!!!!! I try to use healthy alternatives in baking that don't take away from goodness (doesn't always work, but this is a definite winner!). After finding the cake mix, I remembered I had a leftover can of pumpkin from the holidays. Hooray! I substituted the butter, eggs, and water for 1 can of pumpkin (saves SO MANY unnecessary calories). And as a bonus, I added some semi-sweet mini chocolate chips to the batter that I had leftover in the fridge. BAM chocolate chip muffins!
Ingredients again: 1 box chocolate cake mix of your choice, 1 can pumpkin, & semi-sweet chocolate chips (or you could use white chocolate, peanut butter, milk/dark chocolate, ANYTHING!) 12 cupcakes took about 25 minutes on 325 degrees!
Don't like pumpkin? GOOD because you can't even taste it!
Best part about it (other than less fat/calories) ~ THEY TASTE SO DANG GOOD! You don't even miss the butter! The pumpkin adds lots of moisture and almost makes them brownie-like while the chocolate chips add a bit of ooey-gooey 🙂 No frosting or filling necessary! Seriously, I ate 2 in 20 seconds. ENJOY!

il Lido was one of the restaurants along the main Darwin Waterfront Plaza. We'd been walking the heritage trail just up the hill, and wanted a pit stop to rest, soak in the lively atmosphere of the waterfront.
Breezy and relaxed, the open-aired restaurant was cool and casual. Serving modern Australian fare, the main draws are the pizzas and drinks.
The Cheese Board (A$23) with swiss, cheddar, and blue dairy, was accompanied by a warm apple chutney, house made lavosh, prosiutto, fresh pear slivers and green apple slices. A scrumptious, well put together platter.
The Prosciutto Pizza (A$26) strewn with oodles of rocket and grated parmesan, was topped with an aioli that I thought was unnecessary. That said, the pizza was still delectable.
The Iced Coffees (A$2 each) were gratifyingly decadent sugar bombs, rich and frothy and creamy.
The terrace of the restaurant is best for people watching, so snag a seat outdoors if you can.

"Nestlé USA plans to do away with all artificial flavors and colors from its chocolate snacks by the end of 2015, the company announced Tuesday. That means FDA-certified colors, like Red 40 and Yellow 5 will be gone from snacks like Butterfinger, Crunch and Baby Ruth."
"The company plans to substitute the artificial flavors with ingredients from natural sources. For instance, it will use annatto to replace Red 40 and Yellow 5 in Butterfinger's center. For Crunch, Nestlé will use natural vanilla flavor to replace artificial vanillin."

WASHINGTON, Jan 7 A key bank industry group launched data displaying that shopper loan delinquencies may be nearing their peak however said it remained involved about persistent weakness within the economy and job markets.
These instantaneous loans are principally the cheapest loans that come with superb presents. The benefit of these loans is the absence of collateral. These loans are perfect for masking all the expenses related to studies. Moreover, students can make the most of the funds even to repay hostel fees. Therefore, if you are desperate to get a better schooling than you can afford, these loans work greatest for you.
If you might have plenty of fairness, residence equity loans is usually a compelling choice for borrowers who have to make expensive residence enhancements. If you have got plenty of equity to borrow towards, you possibly can receive a lump sum giant sufficient to complete your transforming challenge after which some — in reality, some lenders won't make dwelling-fairness loans smaller than around $20,000. You may be able to nab a decrease APR than you'd receive on a private dwelling improvement mortgage. Your APR will be fastened, so you will make the identical funds for the life of the loan, and also you're even capable of deduct the interest from your taxes in many cases.

Lenders supply both unsecured and secured loans of this sort. If you go for an unsecured loan, you will not need collateral to acquire a loan, but you may probably need excellent credit to receive a low APR. If your credit score isn't so hot, you might be able to get a secured loan by providing collateral similar to your car. This will hold your APR decrease than what it will be on an unsecured loan, but your interest rate might be nonetheless going to be within the double digits.

Last week residents and participants of Design4DCity came together to pilot the "mapping for change" – project run by Wendy Jo Mifsud and Antoine Zammit (Build Environment – University of Malta) and in collaboration with Valletta 2018 Foundation. The project wants to empower residents and visitors to share important information about daily challenges and opportunities in Malta's capital city. As urban planners/designers one can have a broad idea of these issue, but only the ones living in the area can provide you with the right information. The pilot looked at possibilities/opportunties of how to engage people. The online map is very user-friendly, but we realized that for some the online tool might be a barrier, therefore it is good to have alternatives to proceed the online work, which could be a consultation session or like we did, take time to do a paper mapping first. The paper mapping focussed on pedestrian and vehicular accessibility in the Biccerija area. I had the honour to guide the paper mapping session for which I used the MAP-it tools developed by my former colleagues of the Social Spaces research group. This mapping tool can be fine-tuned to every situation. One can mix labels/text and icons to trigger discussion and ideas through simple task/questions. The results of this session where then later implemented on the online map. As such the paper session complemented perfectly the online map. But the mapping has just started. All online input is welcome to give planners and designers a beter insight of what a liveable city needs to be.

Celebrity can blind us to the thing itself, particularly when beauty and youth are weighted with great wealth and generational power. (Paris Hilton's circle of rich and pantiless fembots is almost enough to make "elite mind-controlled sex slave" go mainstream.) Jeff Wells
Yeah, you think about that for a little minute.
Let's move on.
We have decided, rather than making you pay for it, we shall give you my festive single, All I Want for Christmas Is You (And World Peace), for free. So if you click that thing, it is yours. It's at 256kbps, so it sounds all nice and, um, festive.
Obviously, it sounds dope coming out of a radio. We suggest you hassle your favourite DJ to play it. I'll get some names and numbers together this week.
So, I was reading this interview on AllHipHip.com with The Game earlier, and it mentioned that, "from the age of five through 13, The Game lived in a foster home after his sister accused their father of sexual abuse". Shit. That explains so much. From the interview: AllHipHop.com: I grew up in a foster home too…
[The Game looks me directly in the eye unflinchingly for several seconds, then proceeds.]
The Game: It's horrible, you feel alone sometimes, right? And you really wish that you had family, a mom and dad, and placemats and silverware, and mom coming home, dad coming home, shouting, "Honey I'm home!" and then they call you out the room where you're doing your homework, and you come running down the stairs and jump on your dad - but that's not our f**king reality, is it? No, it's f**ked up. It's a bad situation, and I don't wish that on anybody. I always try to at least give words of wisdom, if not some type of financial or clothing donation, to kids in foster homes around the world. Because it's a sad, sad story and people don't know until they've been there, and if you've been there you never wanna go back. You can't say enough how messed up it is to grow up in that type of situation. Man, I bust out a tear over that one. All love to you, duke.
Yo, I got Oink back. One love to all of y'all. For some reason though there's something up with my NAT thingy, and I keep getting this "UPnP Mapping Incoming Peer Data Port (UDP/57294) failed" message. So nuthing's uploading, but maybe that'll sort itself. I DUNNO!
RAH! The new Snoop LP is brilliant. As is my new joint what I did this after. I got too many songs again people. I dunno what to do.
I tell you what,I am getting KICKED OUT OF MY FLAT in four weeks. That sucks. Any rich people out there wanna rent me their house cheap? Son Of King Rebel and my little brother are in need of homes too. Holla at your boy.

That old crow flows overhead each street I cross. I don't question the world because it's been know to run down many a man. So I'll just continue on this inclined path I push each foot against. Mark each step with an exasperated breath and I feel the pulse of that mended peace.
Take the church out of it. Take the people out of it. Take the scripture out of it. And I'm left running towards the purest love I've ever felt. I know where my base is. And I know where I'm heading next. I put all of those elements back in mid-step and I find my feelings haven't changed in the slightest.

It's been another amazing few days of beautiful weather. It has been sunny and cool–but not too cool. Although the other night we got down to 41 degrees! Our springtime is usually short-lived and rushes right into the heat and humidity of summer. This has been great. I've enjoyed sitting on my swing at various times during the day…and watching the dogs play.
Yesterday I went to lunch with a group of ladies called The Lunch Bunch. It's just a group of ladies from our church who try out a new restaurant each month. The ladies vary according to their schedules. We had seven yesterday; the last time I went was a few months ago and there were four of us. Other times we've had 12 or more! We tried a new Italian restaurant and it was very good.
While Julianne was at karate, I went to a used curriculum sale at a local church and was able to find her biology textbook. Yeah! I also purchased two history textbooks to use as a foundation for next year; I'll supplement with lots of living books.
My dad had his first chemotherapy treatment yesterday and all went well. He was at the cancer center for 5.5 hours! I haven't talked with him yet today so I don't know if he is experiencing any side effects. Please continue to pray for him.
From Psalm 62:
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.

text: I have WC1 from gog. I've been playing the game without failed missions, up until the last mission in McAullife. This mission is no joke. Heavy enemy fighters and an ace. In addition escorting the Drayman. I don't prefer cheating, but it seems I have to, for this mission. When there are at least 3 or more enemies, I experience heavy slow down, particularly with the handling of my ship. But if I turn the invulnerable cheat on, there is no slowdown. So my question is: Does turning the cheat on affect the speed of the game when it's covered with enemy fighters? Or can I make an adjustment in dosbox, and avoid cheating. I play with the keyboard, and I know the Scimitar is slow. But the handling of the ship is like "night and day", when enabling the cheat. Thanks for any help.

This research explores, whether culture influences the communication between Greek / Greek-Cypriot migrants and the police in England; and also whether the potential cultural diversity between the Greek/Greek-Cypriot migrants and the police in England will influence the migrants trust towards the police. Sixteen migrants, twelve Greek and four Greek-Cypriot, located in the South East of England were interviewed.
The participants were mainly asked about their views on the police and their experiences during previous encounters with the police in the host country. The questions tried to explore potential communication difficulties that the migrants might have faced due to their lack of linguistic skills and their different culture. Also, participants were asked about their views on the police in the country of origin, in order to explore whether migrants' views on the police in the host country are influenced by the experiences they had in the country of origin. Both migrants who had previous encounters with the police and migrants who had not any encounters with the police in the host country were included.
Semi-structured interviews were used for the data collection and the results obtained were analysed using content analysis. According to the results, the Greek and Greek-Cypriot migrants do not seem to face major difficulties when they interact with the police in England.
The majority of the participants did not face any language difficulties and none of the participants faced any cultural difficulties. According to the participants, the police in England seem to understand and respect diversity. The participants were also satisfied with the police performance in England and their views on the police in the country of origin is not transferred to the host country after their migration.

"It's funny how the whole team gets quiet when you're about to win a Daytona 500," Joey said in an interview after he won the Daytona 500 February 22, 2015. Although he started in 5th place, on the 172nd lap he took the lead. Going from 5th place to 1st, Joey had a successful run in his #22 Ford. Winning races for Joey is a humble yet amazing experience: "When you cross the line and you've won the race, to me, it's an amazing feeling."
Logano had always had his heart in racing. Joey even said so himself, "When I was three years old, I had race-car wallpaper, a race-car bed, race-car toys. That was all I wanted. And nothing has changed. Except I don't have a race-car bed anymore."
His journey to NASCAR began at 6 years old. He started competing in Quarter Midgets and took his first win when he was 7 in the 1997 Eastern Grand National Championship in the Junior Stock Car Quarter Midget division. As young as he was, he still proved himself worthy. At 10 years old he won the Bandolero division championships at Atlanta, Georgia Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. He still has the record for 14 continuous wins at Atlanta Motor Speedway when he was only 12 years old.
Along with 25-year-old Joey Logano's success on the track, he finally married his long-time girlfriend Brittany Baca. Starting from a young age, Joey has been successful in racing. It takes true dedication to be a lifelong driver.

Fishing a Mahi-Mahi (dolphin fish)
Mahi-Mahi (a dolphin-fish) – is one of the most beautiful fish in the sea and the ocean. Its body has quite an unusual shape. If you look at it on the side, in general it resembles a medium-sized Tuna (about 1 meter long). The exception is the head, which looks like a stump. Thus, the "face line" (so to say) of Mahi-Mahi fish is vertical. The line of the belly and the back line at the head of the fish form nearly parallel lines – and, in combination with a vertical "face" make a rectangle. In the lower right corner of the rectangle there are eyes and a mouth that give the impression of a 'forehead' over his head. Perhaps because of this forehead the fish has another name – a dolphin-fish. If you look at it not from the side, but frontally, you can discover, that it is completely flat, and any resemblance to the tuna disappears immediately as 'in the section' tuna is nearly round. This description being added up by glittering of color from yellow to iridescent bluish-green color of the mahi-mahi, makes quite an unusual portrait. This fish cannot be confused with any other. As soon as its head appears on the surface of the water, everyone says: "Mahi-Mahi."
There are other names for this fish: for example, in the Caribbean, particularly in Jamaica, Miami and Israel, it is called, as already mentioned, a dolphin-fish. Although, of course, it has nothing to do with the dolphin, as the dolphin is a mammal, and Mahi-Mahi – is a fish. In Thailand and Germany it is called "golden mackerel," although, again, it has nothing to do with mackerel, as mackerel – is an ordinary sombrous. The Spanish call it "golden dorado," but mahi-mahi and dorado fish have nothing in common either. Dorado is smaller and is like an ordinary crucian carp. On Malta it is called "Lampuka" and it is even depicted in Maltese 10-cent coins. In Japan it is a "shira". But in Greece and Russia mahi-mahi is called a "Coryphaena".
Mahi Mahi feeds on flying fish, and so they catch it using trolling method at a high speed, with a spinneret or a live bait. It is a matter of habit and taste which kind of bait to use. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Live bait makes a lot of trouble. You need to attach it better, but it 'glitters' in the water much worse. So if it is the coryphaena that is your goal, we recommend using a spinneret. Here, each angler has his/her own recipes. Some anglers prefer a synthetic bait – it is a good imitation of a live flying fish, others – a wooden spoon, which has the plumage and coloring similar to those of the flying fish. But very often when trying to catch a big marlin anglers prefer natural bait, which often attracts coryphaena.
Fishing coryphaena is very exciting. The fish is strong enough to struggle with the angler and playing with it will require effort and patience, but perhaps this is what we all expect from fishing and what makes the trophy so desirable for us.
Coryphaena is tasty and can be prepared in many different ways – it can be steamed, cooked in a soup, grilled, or just fried in a pan.
Yacht Club Israel is happy to provide you with an opportunity of fishing this predatory fish and we hope you will enjoy struggling with it.

A consultation has begun to review fire service facilities across Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Commenting on the review, Owen Smith said:
"I have given my support to the campaign to keep two fire engines here in Pontypridd, and I have met with the firefighters at Treforest station.
"I'm supporting the proposed position of a new station in Upper Boat with both a full time and a retained appliance. The station would be just off the A470 and would have better access in emergency situations than the current location in Treforest, which is on a side street on a busy artery road.
"People have approached me with concern and I agree that having just one appliance locally is insufficient and could be dangerous. I will be lending my support to our firefighters here in the Pontypridd constituency and will be submitting my views to the consultation shortly."

The East Helena School District has picked a site for the community's potential high school.
The district determined Dartman Field would be the best site for the high school, which will only be built if voters approve a bond in a May special election.
The school, which would be built near the just finished Prickly Pear Elementary, would cost nearly $30 million to construct.

What can we learn from an ultra-strict free school?by Patrick Alexander / March 30, 2017 / Leave a comment
The sign outside the Michaela Community School reads "Private School Ethos—No Fees." Having taught in the state sector for ten years, this was tough to swallow. But Michaela, a small secondary school in north London, likes to challenge. In fact it is perhaps the most radical embodiment of the neo-traditional movement in British education, and the press have dubbed it "England's strictest school."
Founded in 2014, Michaela is a non-selective secondary and a free school—state-funded, but administered independently. It is situated in Brent, one of the worst boroughs for child poverty in London. One third of its pupils receive free school meals and half are eligible for the pupil premium, the additional funding given to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The same proportion speak English as a second language—Brent is 18 per cent white British.
On my visit, the pupils seemed perfectly happy, if a little serious in some cases (a precocious outlook seemed normal). As they moved patiently from the playground, up the staircase which has Aristotle's theory of eudaimonia summarised neatly on the wall, they all addressed me cheerfully—"Good morning, sir!" In every single classroom I visited, pupils were attentive to an unusual degree and the subject content was unremittingly challenging.
"Family Lunch" was extraordinary. The whole lunch hall recited Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" in concert before food was served by pupils. All the children had eerily perfect table manners. Teachers ate with the students and there was a topic of discussion as there is every day. After lunch came "appreciation," in which pupils took turns to publicly thank somebody for their positive co…

High-energy chemistry of formamide: A unified mechanism of nucleobase formation
Edited by Jerrold Meinwald, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and approved November 4, 2014 (received for review July 2, 2014)
This article has a correction. Please see:
This paper addresses one of the central problems of the origin of life research, i.e., the scenario suggesting extraterrestrial impact as the source of biogenic molecules. Likewise, the results might be relevant in the search of biogenic molecules in the universe. The work is therefore highly actual and interdisciplinary. It could be interesting for a very broad readership, from physical and organic chemists to synthetic biologists and specialists in astrobiology.
The coincidence of the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) period and the emergence of terrestrial life about 4 billion years ago suggest that extraterrestrial impacts could contribute to the synthesis of the building blocks of the first life-giving molecules. We simulated the high-energy synthesis of nucleobases from formamide during the impact of an extraterrestrial body. A high-power laser has been used to induce the dielectric breakdown of the plasma produced by the impact. The results demonstrate that the initial dissociation of the formamide molecule could produce a large amount of highly reactive CN and NH radicals, which could further react with formamide to produce adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. Based on GC-MS, high-resolution FTIR spectroscopic results, as well as theoretical calculations, we present a comprehensive mechanistic model, which accounts for all steps taking place in the studied impact chemistry. Our findings thus demonstrate that extraterrestrial impacts, which were one order of magnitude more abundant during the LHB period than before and after, could not only destroy the existing ancient life forms, but could also contribute to the creation of biogenic molecules.

Blood of the Sorceress
Maggie Shayne
Mira, Jan 29 2013, $7.99
In 1501 BC in Babylon, the king's favorite slave Lilia the witch fell in love with the ruler's right hand man and best friend Demetrius. When the monarch learned of his beloved's betrayal of his heart, Demetrius kills him to save Lilia. After a search of the harem, Lilia and her two sisters Indira (see Mark of the Witch) and Magadalena (see Daughter of the Spellcaster) are thrown off a cliff to the rocks below. The High Priest Sindar deploys dark magic to strip Demetrius of his soul and banish him to a formless nonexistence in the Underworld.
After three and a half millennia, her two reincarnated siblings returned parts of his soul to Demetrius who has escaped his horrid incarceration. As Lilia sees him for the first time since that bloody day in ancient Babylon, she knows her chance to return and complete Demetrius' soul has finally arrived. However, he no longer wants his soul even if that means eternal damnation or her love, and besides Sindar, now a demon, stalks them.
The final Portal romantic fantasy is a fast-paced thriller starring a strong lead female, a PTSD male struggling to adjust to a physical world and worse his refurbished feelings besides his only companion for ages: rage, and a powerful diabolical demon. As with the previous trilogy entries, Maggie Shayne casts a spell on her audience.
