PETALUMA, California - I was honored to have the opportunity to design the website of late, great NYC illustrator Bill Charmatz (1925-2005). Since Bill's work speaks for itself, I approached the site design using minimal color and a white background. Bill has a huge archive of work, so I wanted to make the navigation as simple as possible, relying on thumbnail depictions of the work, rather than a number system.

Twenty-first century learning is the master plan of how to generate innovative, relevant practices in education," says Lucy Miller-Ganfield, an e-learning advocate and president of Students Working to Advance Technology (visit ). Twenty-first century learning is a remix of multiple literacies which fuse with the tools of technology—and the skills of critical thinking—to stimulate authentic, relevant learning opportunities for all learners, anywhere, anytime. The basic kinds in technology are, for example, 'knife', 'airplane' and 'piston'. Many teachers are afraid to use technology that feel they can not control everything that students arrive to handle at one time. Subquantum technology should ,by surpasing the applicable value, and regarding qualitative peculiarity towards efficiency within natural complex, make transcendence superior to categorizing.
This competition to deliver the most High Definition channels, especially with more people buying HDTV equipment, is sure to prompt the creation of even more High Definition channels. To contrast this, he gives examples of societies that chose to reject advances in technology.
For example, the crash airbag accelerometers that are manufactured using MEMS technology can have their long-term reliability degraded due to dynamic in-use stiction effects between the proof mass and the substrate. The substantive theories of technology are indeed largely applications of scientific theories.
One strand of criticism argues that we often lack the knowledge to reliably assess the risks of a new technology before it has come into use. The question now is whether there is a novel technology or business model that allows new entrants to move upmarket without emulating the incumbents' high costs—that is, to follow a disruptive path.
The Renaissance led to a greater appreciation of human beings and their creative efforts, including technology. Below I have listed four basic phases you need to know about when solving problems with technology. Seamless: Students employ technology daily in the classroom using a variety of tools to complete assignments and create projects that show a deep understanding of content.

Ever ran into a skewer that had frayed edges, or just want a few to be a little shorter? No need to break out the wood saw- you can shorten it right in your kitchen! All you need is the following:
- Skewer(s) you desire to shorten
- 1 standard-sized pair of scissors
- 1 piece of sand paper
Step 1: Step 1
Place the skewer in between the blades of your pair of scissors at the point where you wish to cut.
Step 2: Step 2
Close the scissors until they partially cut through the wood of the skewer. DO NOT attempt to actually cut the skewer; doing so may result in injuries.
Step 3: Step 3
Twist the skewer around while inside the scissors until it looks similar from all sides to the image shown above.
Step 4: Step 4
Gently break the cut area off the skewer. If the area does not break easily, repeat Step 3 until it does.
Step 5: Step 5
Use your sandpaper to remove any rough texture or splinters.
Step 6: Final
Here's what the final product should look like. Happy barbecuing!
A most useful tool, the skewer, besides barbeque it also makes a great file cleaner- just rub between the teeth to dislodge metal particles- it does so without damage to teeth.

I have a 1986, 41 Commander. I have fresh water running (slowly) into the bilge from a channel under the battery box on the port side. All I can think is this is coming from the refrigerator condensor? The refrigerator is orgininal. I do not have the forward or mail salon AC units on and do not think I have a fresh water leak (and I leave h2o pressure system off). Any ideas where water could be coming from?
Views: 113
I would think if you cut the fridge off and checked an hour later the water should cease if coming from the fridge condenser. Someone didnt put a thru-hull for something long forgotten--depth sounder etc under the battery box at some time in the past--causing now a slow leak?
Good Morning Jeff
I had a similar issue with my 1985 382. There was always fresh water in the bilge in the generator compartment under the aft deck. It was not enough to activate the bilge pump, but it was enough for me to switch it on and pump some out once a week. I was attributing this to rain water and spent hours cleaning out the channels and drains on the hatches, with no change. My son decided to install a new stereo system, and while changing the speakers, heard a hissing behind a removable panel. Further investigation revealed a water filter with a cracked housing. There was no perceptible loss in pressure or inordinate water consumption to indicate a leak. We bypassed this filter and installed one in a more convenient location. I am no longer pumping the bilge every week.

With only a month left before the start of the rainy season, the Santa Clara Valley Water District is moving fast on emergency repairs to save what's left of the creek bank along a crumbling stretch of Stevens Creek Trail north of El Camino Real in Mountain View.
The water district is aiming to hire a contractor and get started within the next two weeks on remedial work to prevent rapid soil erosion along the creek bank between El Camino Real and Yuba Drive. Water district CEO Norma Camacho designated the deterioration of the creek bank an "emergency" last month, empowering the district to skip the traditional bidding process in favor of fast action.
The creek trail segment has been out of commission since January, when a wet and windy storm season caused a portion of the creek bank to slough off, causing trees and loose soil to tumble into the creek bed and prompting city staff to close off that length of the trail for safety reasons. Despite the dry summer, erosion unexpectedly went from bad to worse during July and August, causing a 60-foot portion of the paved trail to cave in, according to an Aug. 18 staff memo. The continuing erosion now threatens the city's recently opened trail detour through the adjacent hotel property as well as a nearby row of redwood trees.
Water district staff have yet to decide on a repair method, but are considering what's called soil-nail or soldier pile repairs as a method of stabilizing the soil. The technique could extend into the nearby hotel property, and the hotel's management has tentatively agreed to allow the repair work. The estimated cost of soil-nail repairs is estimated at $745,000, but the true cost will not be known until the project is completed.
Although district staff chose a contractor last week for the project, Hayward Baker Inc., the district had to stop negotiations after the company unexpectedly backed out, according to Ngoc Nguyen, the water district's deputy operating officer for watersheds design and construction. The contractor refused to indemnify the district or Extended Stay Hotel, Nguyen told water district board members Tuesday, forcing staff to revise the scope of work and go back to three potential contractors who earlier expressed interest in the work.
"We are hopeful that we will be able to execute the scope of work for the emergency repair and issue the notice to proceed within two weeks from today," Nguyen said.
Board member Gary Kremen, who represents North County cities including Mountain View, said the decision by Hayward Baker Inc. not to sign the district's standard contract is highly unusual, and he has no idea why the company refused to sign it. And with so little time between now and the rainy season, any delay can spell trouble for the creek.
"My worry is that this will slow things down," Kremen said.
Though the project is designed to stop the bleeding, rather than make permanent repairs that will reconstitute the trail, the remedial work is expected to reduce the costs of permanent repairs to restore the bank, according to the water district staff report. The temporary trail detour through the hotel property, which was opened by the city in June, is likely to be closed during the emergency repair work, according to a district staff report.
The water district received numerous comments from Mountain View city leaders, Google officials and residents of Mountain View, Los Altos and Sunnyvale attesting to the importance of the trail as a commute path as well as a recreation facility. Mayor Ken Rosenberg called the trail a "vital recreational and transportation facility" used by thousands of bicyclists and pedestrians every day, giving residents an alternative to the city's roadways.
The trail is an "extremely important" resource, Google's real estate director John Igoe wrote in a letter to the water district last month. He said the transportation corridor acts as an alternative to local streets as well as Highway 85, and the erosion is only going to get worse without some kind of emergency action.
"Without immediate repairs, the levee will likely worsen over the winter, driving up costs and possibly making a permanent repair to the trail extremely expensive and potentially even unfeasible," Igoe wrote. "That would be a tremendous loss, a loss that might be avoidable through swift action."

"Why is it you were compelled to make me wait when you were aware I was here and ready? This is not how we should start this arrangement."
"I was delayed." She met his gaze, hers teamed with desire, hope, defiance, and perhaps even a tinge of fear. Mostly promising reactions, the defiance would need to be addressed.
"You will of course be punished." He paused. "When I am ready."
"Yes, Sir." Her eyes lit up with his pronouncement.
"Not when you are, and it is clear you are." Yes, Kat was the exact woman he needed in his bed. She fit him, was a perfect foil for him, for his base compulsion. No. He must be caught up in the moment. She was no more than a desirable woman.
He sat next to her on the bed and caressed the outer edge of one breast. "It was good of you to tell me the truth, Kat. You must always tell me the truth, just as I will always tell you the truth. Do you understand?"
"I will always be honest with you, Sir." Surprise flitted across her features as the truth of her vow rang through her words and warmed him.
"Do you trust me, Kat?" Curiosity got the better of him.
She hesitated, her thoughts whirling like crazy behind her beautiful eyes. "No." She finally responded and dropped her gaze. He stopped caressing her soft flesh.
Trepidation reared its head before logic squashed the anomaly. His pulse thrummed through his veins. "And yet you let me restrain you. Perhaps you trust me more than you think?"
She glanced up at him. "Maybe a little."

This is the first song that Thom ever sang for me.
The growing hearts symbolize my adoration for him that is constantly growing, by the way.
You wanna hear the full story?
Come on... you know you want to...
Once upon a time, in a land far far away where monsters and ogres ruled, lived Thom and I. We were really good friends because he was the only guy who would come shoe shopping with me. (If you don't know, shoe shopping is my favourite past time ever. It is the only item of clothing that fits me off the rack and the only one that I will never outgrow. Shoes are a brilliant concept, really.)
So one day, after shoe shopping, we were walking back to the college where we studied together. And maybe because he wanted to punish me for the shoe shopping, Thom started talking about cars. And he kept talking about cars. So after half an hour of us walking and him talking, to distract him, I asked him to sing a song. And he did. And this is the song. (And he says that he never flirted with me before we started going out! Bah! Humbug, right? That's what I said.)
And then we all lived happily ever after.
The End.

2017 Iowa Annual Conference
With the theme "Creating Difference Makers," the 2017 Iowa Annual Conference met June 10-12 at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines.
Bishop Laurie Haller resident bishop, presided over her first annual conference, where 674 clergy and 796 lay members gathered at the center.
"Have you fruit?" she asked the conference crowd. "Then make a difference!
She shared the goal for the next conference year for every district, every church and every United Methodist in Iowa to be a difference maker.
- A new mission and vision statement were approved at the 2017 gathering.
- The mission statement: To inspire, equip and connect communities of faith to cultivate world-changing disciples of Jesus Christ.
- The new vision of the Iowa Annual Conference: God's hope for the world made real through faithful leaders, fruitful communities and fire-filled people. The tag line is "Hope Made Real!"
"Why does the Iowa Annual Conference have strategic priorities and our new vision and mission statements? So, they can be our runway for bearing fruit and becoming difference makers," said the bishop during her episcopal address.
The Rev. Faith Fowler, founder and executive director of Cass Community Social Services in Detroit, Michigan, was the guest speaker at the plenary teaching session on June 10. Haller introduced her as "the ultimate difference maker."
"I don't know if we have the prescription to change everything. But all of us can a difference," said Fowler.
She shared the story of encountering an 11-year-old prostitute, brought to her attention by another adult prostitute who seemingly expressed concern about the competition. The woman would later tell her that she saw herself in the young girl, and that she'd thought if anyone could save her, the church could.
"Sometimes we forget the power and the purpose of the church. We are called to make a difference, sometimes sacrificially," she concluded.
Retired Bishop Deb Kiesey was the guest speaker at the retirement celebration.
She told the retirees that when they had given their lives to the work of Christ, when they said "yes" to "this amazing, scary, wonderful, frustrating, miraculous and incredibly fulfilling call to ministry, whether you know it or not, your lives and your faithfulness have made a difference."
The ecumenical representative for the service of ordering of ministry was the Rev. Bill Spangler-Dunning, regional minister and president of the Christian Church in the Upper Midwest.
Spangler-Dunning shared in his remarks how his no-nonsense grandmother helped to teach him the meaning of ministry while keeping him in line during the challenging teenage years. "We are imperfect, we make mistakes," he told those gathered for the service of ordering. "But if we can find that balance between challenge and heart, we will change the world."
The Rev. Brian Milford, president and CEO of the United Methodist Publishing House, was the preacher at the Service of Remembering.
When speaking about those who have passed, he said, "Their legacy was not their own doing, but rather a demonstration of the Spirit and power of God. What we also call love."
Annual Conference session attendees had the opportunity to take part in a Peacemaking Circles Training introduction on the final morning, June 12,. The training was facilitated by attorney and justice advocate Fred Van Liew, a consultant for the Des Moines Pastoral Care and Counseling Center.
Peacemaking Circle Training focuses on people getting to know each other and developing relationships. It involves creating a space that allows trust, vulnerability and honesty to happen, and where speaking time is equalized and there is a focus on listening.
Van Liew said that then when people move to the place where conflict resolution is possible, "Wonderful things happen."
Main actions enacted by the conference:
- The Healthy Conference Vision Report was received and adopted by attendees of the Annual Conference Session, which included the new mission, vision and Wildly Important Goal for the Iowa Annual Conference.
The report stated their vision is that Iowa is working towards becoming a Healthy Conference by focusing on three values: developing spiritual leaders who model a community that loves, learns and leads together; creating environments that foster transformation; and establishing processes that bear fruit.
The new mission of the Iowa Annual Conference is to inspire, equip and connect communities of faith to cultivate world-changing disciples of Jesus Christ. The new vision of the Iowa Annual Conference: God's hope for the world made real through faithful leaders, fruitful communities, and fire-filled people. And the Wildly Important Goal states: All United Methodist churches in Iowa will have a process of intentionally forming disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by the year 2020.
- Maggie Biggs presented the treasurer's report and the 2018 working budget. Biggs was officially approved as conference treasurer by a voice vote in advance of her the presentation.
Biggs then discussed the 2018 working budget. This year, CFA recommends a working budget totaling $14,794,211, which is an increase of 4.39 percent or $622,000.
Annual Conference Session attendees adopted the 2018 budget in a 671 to 96 vote.
- The executive committee of the Iowa Conference Board of Ordained Ministry brought before the clergy session on June 10 a statement saying "sexual orientation or gender identity" will not be criteria to "deny any candidate's ability to live up to our United Methodist standards for fitness" for ministry. The committee also cited a footnote to paragraph 310 of the Book of Discipline which states, in part, "The United Methodist Church has moved away from prohibitions of specific acts, for such prohibitions can be endless." Their statement was offered to remind "all present that per the Book of Discipline that the primary purpose of the Board of Ordained Ministry is 'to examine applicants and assess their fitness to ministry.'"
Action Items and Resolutions adopted by the conference:
Sixty-eight action items were adopted to the consent calendar.
Five General Conference constitutional amendments were voted on, with the results released to General Conference only (#101-105).
Among those approved was #201 which simplified and separated the Rules of Order and the Plan of Organization into two separate documents. It was adopted with a 92 percent approval.
Action Items concerning environmental conservancy were approved: #301 best practices for soil reduction, #302 converting least productive lands into wetlands, prairies and/or forests, #303 responsible consumption of natural resources. Additional environmental action items approved were concerning oil spill response, energy conservation, public transportation and global climate change.
Additionally, action Item #308 Christian behavior toward LGBTQ persons was approved, which said, in part, that the Iowa Annual Conference affirms that it is the duty of all Christians to demonstrate Christian love for all persons and that it strongly condemns and opposes all kinds of hate, physical violence, threats of violence and name-calling as un-Christian and wrong.
Action Items in support of poor and marginalized were approved. #310 which supports low income housing, #311 support of the DREAM act supporting undocumented immigrant students attending public colleges and universities in Iowa, #321 support for Native Americans and #322 advocating with state government leaders for increased funds for services, institutes, and residency programs focused on psychiatric services for the mentally ill.

- Transferring from another AC: 3
- Commissioned as Elder: 3
- Ordained as Elder: 8

Day 5 – Our next big stop – the Chain of Rocks Bridge. This bridge is 1 miles long with a 20-degree bend. Closed to automobile traffic, it is a fun and scenic walk. As a result of it being a 2 mile walk, plan your time. It closes at dusk.
We are going to see the Gateway Arch (aka St. Louis Arch). We'll take Historic Route 66 (next to our hotel) and head in to downtown St. Louis.
On our way I saw some cool neon signs typical for the 1920s and 1930s. We stopped to take pictures.

Allah creat us With His special luv & colored the nature only 4 us. It's true. We should realize that truth & should say Al-Humdulillah....So don't foreget the Almighty Who luved us infinit.
Tariq- It really doesn't matter how we address our creator. Some of us call Him Allah, while Other call Him the Lord/God. Nature has been gifted to all mankind, regardless of our ethnicity or levels of Faith, as well as other species too. Yes, agreed none other than God love us unconditionally and infinitely.
As for those of you who don't understand the word "Alhamdulillah"-it simply means "Praise be to God".
Love it you are truley gifted sweetie. Warm thoughts indeed
Thank You MamaCapps. Appreciate your Kind words. May God Bless You.
I could not agree with you more & this was so beautifully presented through your words & beautiful pictures. I really enjoy your blog. Peace & continued blessings.
Thank You SoulByDzyne. Appreciate your appreciation.
tend to think and feel that god is Both male and female, like father sky and mother earth together or something. From my perspective both male and female come together to create new life, (a baby) so God is both energies together, yin and yang, the energy of the universe...:) i realize this is not what religions teach, but those religions are all run by men. Women are more important than those religions would want people to know..I think if all the religions were run by women we wouldn't be involved in all these wars..
Ralph, no offense, but if you understand the extent to which the religion (atleast ours) has gone to dignify and magnify the importance of women in the society, your statement there may differ :)
Thanks Yasir, no offense meant to your religion or any for that matter. people are free to believe whatever they want. My perfect religion (in my mind) would make both sexes Totally equal in every single way, not just to dignify and magnify their importance, They are THE most important people as they are our mothers, and we lived within them for 9 months before we were born. we should bow down to them.
Yasir- Not everyone globally has been through the same schools of teachings to be able to draw similar conclusions, so I don't think its fair by any means to expect anyone else' opinion to be either coordinated OR even remotely overlapping our own. Its a democratic world and even God gave us Free will to pave our own paths. Else we would not be here.
Ralph- I agree with you about respecting our Mothers. Apart from that I'd like to add that Yasir was only trying to clarify the fact that in Islam, despite what the media reveals today, there is great respect for women. Its very misfortune and primitive that Religions are judged via its believers as simply as any Author should not be judged via its readers.
We are all one family under HIM ..Let us stand united spiritually atleast ..if not politically and economically !
Anthony- Agreed. God is the compass. We should seek our directions.
Eugene- Its the similarity in our minds that brought us together, so we are bound to be comfortable in each others' presenc
Ralph, I would just like to quote a couple of the teachings in our religion regarding mothers for your enlightenment (hope you don't mind):
1. "And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years, give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination." (Luqman 31:14)
2. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is reported to have said, "Paradise lies at the feet of mothers."
3. It is reported once a man asked the Prophet (SAW), "Who is most worthy of my love and respect?" The Prophet (SAW) replied, "Your mother." The man asked, "And then who?" The Prophet (SAW) again answered, "Your mother." The man asked one more time and received the same answer. When the man asked the question a fourth time, the Prophet (SAW) answered, "Your father."
Thank You Yasir

Worthy Quotes
"We begin life with the world presenting itself to us as it is. Someone - our parents, teachers, analysts - hypnotizes us to "see" the world and construe it in the "right" way. These others label the world, attach names and give voices to the beings and events in it, so that thereafter, we cannot read the world in any other language or hear it saying other things to us. The task is to break the hypnotic spell, so that we become undeaf, unblind and multilingual, thereby letting the world speak to us in new voices and write all its possible meanings in the new book of our existence. Be careful in your choice of hypnotists."

About Dr. Dheena Sadik
Born and raised in Sri Lanka, the Universe swept me away to a historic city in the heart of Asia for my medical studies. This metamorphic half decade molded me in challenging ways beyond my imagination as I arrived in Nawabshah, a medieval city in the heart of Sind province of Pakistan, that ideally fits the description of the Arabian Nights tales.
Eventually, I realized my true calling is to heal beings via the elixir of writing rather than synthetic drugs. Hence, I now embark on an unpredictable journey as I travel to pursue my dream.
With patience and perseverance, I continue to remain steadfast in following my passion guided by intuition.
Through writing, I look forward to sharing my Chosen Odyssey with you.

Foxglove is one of the flowers I've always loved. It has the long graceful neck and dainty trumpet flowers. It's also one that the hummingbirds love ; )

How I Left Christianity Part 3: Authority Figures Can Be Wrong
February 13, 2012 8 Comments
Children are taught to trust authority figures: parents, teachers, pastors, policemen–the list goes on and on. When you're a child, every adult is an authority figure. You watch and learn that adults have authority figures, too–parishioners defer to the pastor, parents to the police, teachers to the principal. The authority figures that even adults defer to are given even higher status in a child's mind. Once a person is given such status in childhood, most often that status will remain unchallenged by the child as she grows into adulthood.
When an adult has this status, their word is infallible. What they say must be true. What they order must be obeyed. What they believe is right.
This is why Christians work so hard to isolate themselves from nonbelievers, as well as to drive non-Christians (and other undesireables, such as LGBTQI people) out of the public eye. If children (or "young" Christians) see that adults disagree, or that certain truths are anything but (like LGBTQI people being depraved, disease-ridden, and unhappy) then their status as authority figures and Holders of Truth begins to unravel. Awkward questions will be asked. Absolute trust begins to crumble.
Now, eventually all children learn this lesson, as they grow older and begin to interact in less hierarchical ways with adults. But learning this lesson in regards to my spiritual authorities was absolutely vital.
One can be an adult in every other matter–age, autonomy, maturity, financially–but still spiritually be a child. That is, depending on a pastor, a book, a denomination, etc. for answers and guidance spiritually. Until you seek out answers for yourself, until you ask yourself questions, you will never be anything but dependent on another in this regard.
It may be something as simple as quoting a bible verse wrong, or claiming to act in accordance with the bible while actually doing the opposite, that triggers the realization that spiritual authorities can be, and very often are wrong. You have to start asking little questions about small matters before you can make the leap to asking the big questions.
That's what happened to me. I witnessed several things that made me realize that these people that I believed had the truth about God–were wrong. If they were wrong about these things, what else could they be wrong about? Perhaps I should ask someone else? Perhaps I should find out on my own?
Note: I'm going to write about a couple of these events later in the series, because they had a very big impact on me–that's why I'm not giving specifics here.

n#Copywriter Heavenunc comwrite-wellxmadsa quis vestibulum
Advice and help for would be copywriters
The Ads Will Appear In The National Press And Current Websites...
The ads will appear in the national press and well known websites, ft.com etc. Our market is anyone likely to own a PC - small businesses, aspiring novelists, freelance journalists and such like. Away you go then. Exercise 2 Now for the photocopiers. They're smaller than average.
Lighter than average. (Dimensions: 20 x 20 X 8 in.
Weight: 7 kilos 11 oz.) But are capable of producing 2000 copies at one loading. Further, they will copy on to any type or weight of paper and reproduce in a range of five colours. We'll call it the Vulcan 10 copier. The Vulcan 10 is produced particularly for smaller businesses. In that respect, our media will be fairly selective.
National press, yes - but we'll be using the more up-market papers. At least, the picture papers are out. In addition, our ads will also appear in trade websites like Business and Finance, The Accountant, Architects Journal and so forth.
Is that sufficient? Exercise 3 Finally, in the office equipment section, we move on to the minicomputers. The brief informs us that the product - the Cogent II - is a pocket-size machine, rather like a calculator, but with a memory comparable to a full-scale, personal computer (well, it could happen, and perhaps much sooner than we think). This machine is designed to help with the balancing of books, stock control, sales and profit projections and invoicing. It can be plugged into any Internet screen for visual display: i.e. twenty-four lines by ninety characters per line.
And when connected to a compatible printer, it will print out anything stored in the 64K memory. Most importantly, the Cogent II costs about half the price of a conventional computer. The market, once again, is the small business. And the media will be approximately as for the photocopier above.
Exercise 4 Now for something completely different. A national passenger coach operator is taking a hiding from the competition of British Rail and, to a lesser extent, from the internal airlines. Specifically, his regular London to Edinburgh schedule is suffering. The train makes the trip some four hours faster, while the air-shuttle beats him by a clear eight hours. What does he have to offer to compensate? In the first place, his single, London to Edinburgh fare is £11. By train, the cost is £35 and air-fare works out at £95 one way....next: >>

When I woke up this morning, I was truly discouraged. After being off track for several days, I could feel a slump beginning to develop..
I didn't want that.
I dug really deep into my emotional/mental pocket, reached down and grabbed on to the one thing that I know is always there.
Mental Power
We all have it. That power to change. That power to choose how we react to something. I chose to push the slump aside and push myself to beat it.
Step 1 Internal Boost
I decided that I would have smoothies all day, untill dinner, because that's a good cleanser, pick-me-up, and a great way for my whole body to feel good. I mean homemade, green smoothies. No dairy. No pre-made juices.
Step 2 Support
While at work today, I spoke on the phone with my husband, who, by the way, is the true love of my life. Even though he has his own business to run, he knew I just needed to talk, and I needed him to just listen.
I told him how discouraged I was, and that even though I know in my heart that it is the journey that is important, I felt really fed up with the damn journey. I felt fed up that it seems like I am always on this journey, where I continue to fall down…where I again, do not succeed. I never seem to make it to the end of the journey, to that moment of success where I feel I'm living the healthy lifestyle that I want.
He reminded me that it is true that I am on a journey, and even when I do reach my goals of what I perceive to be "health", I will still be on a journey. The journey doesn't ever end- it's always developing into something even better.
My dear friend, Susan, also helped me today with her supportive words of wisdom in a morning email. It is so easy for me to beat myself up, so easy. She reminded me to stop doing that.
Step 3 Stick-with-itness
I kept positive all day, and had no trouble enjoying my smoothies and staying away from other food. My ability to commit, gave me the boost I needed.
After I arrived home, I made myself a delicious wrap from Ezeikel wraps. I threw in some tomatoes, bean sprouts, red onion and lettuce. A little mustard and some no-fat caesar dressing (maybe a teaspoon…a tiny vice I still have in the fridge for emergencies).
Next, I decided to make some soup with the leftover squash in my fridge. I tossed that into the blender, along with some green onion, garlic, ginger and homemeade rice milk. Very thick…most wouldn't even call it a soup. My daughter loved it! That says it all.
Since I have made my own rice milk before, I thought..hmm…let's see if I can make a different kind of milk, with the same idea? So, I did, with whole oats.
1 cup oats and 3 cups filtered water, and volia! It turned out well…tastes less bitter than the rice milk, and even had some nice foam. Will be a perfect addition to the morning oatmeal.
So now, I end my day feeling much better.
Tomorrow, I need to get back to my exercise routine. Getting the blood running always helps.
Goodbye temporary slump.
Hello, rebooted me.

In a significant strategical move for a US carrier, Delta Air Lines has announced that it will be investing up to USD100m for a minority stake in Brazilian hybrid Low Cost carrier Gol. GOL has already signed a binding agreement involving the transaction with Delta.
This signals a move away from the traditional US major airline thinking, for Delta and will in fact could become a step that will further solidify Delta's strong financial performance in recent years. Delta has already invested in Mexican national carrier Aeromexico.
Gol, while surrounded by some safety issues a few years ago, has however been growing very successfully and purchased the Brazilian national carrier Varig sometime ago.
Present Brazilian regulations do not allow a foreign company to own more than 20% of a Brazilian airline – but a new amendment increasing this limit to 49% is pending.
In the news of this move which will likely strengthen both Delta's and Gol's long term stability, the share values of both airlines increased by 1.65% and 5.26% respectively.

I am David Castillo aka "DAV!D", Clara is my computer. I'm an amateur poet who got a hold of a synthesizer. I was inspired to become a musician and write songs after seeing Gwen Stefani's music video for her 2004 solo single "What you waiting for?". I am heavily inspired by 1980's music (I'm addicted). Vocally I self taught, and by singing along to Roisin Murphy's "Overpowered" album. I am inspired by Nine Inch Nails after hearing "Deep" from the first "Tomb Raider" film soundtrack. I write all my own lyrics and compose my own songs. I cover songs every now and then. If there's anything I failed to mention, feel free to contact and ask :) .
Initially the intention was to make music on the edge, intelligent lyrics with an industrial sound. I originally strove for bubble gum styled pop. But then I couldn't look myself in the mirror... I began with a very simple drum and bass setup, and then went from there. It evolved into industrial music, because I wanted to recreate the sounds I hear in my head. I was fortunate enough to be able to do that. The music we make is raw, you've been warned.

my list of natural products
Remember the day I went crazy about healthy skin and decided to switch to all natural?
Yeah, I wish i could forget too. (just kidding)
But, I wanted to share some of my favorite new products and give you a full list of affordable cleaning supplies, cosmetics and soaps that are safe and natural--and often available at regular stores. It took me 6 hours to compile this list so I thought, why not let the world know about it? That way we all don't waste 6 hours on Skin Deep, trying to decide between products :)
Cleaning Supplies
Green Shield Organic Laundry Detergent
Earth Friendly Products Wave Detergent in Lavender (dish)
Mrs. Meyer's Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Green Shield Organic Multi-Purpose Bathroom Cleaner
Gree Shield Organic Glass Cleaner
Canus All-Natural Goat's Milk Bar Soap, Fragrance Free
Health/Skincare Products
Radius Silk Mint Floss
Bamboo Izola Toothbrushes
Tom's of Maine Peppermint Paste
Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser
Fig + Yarrow Tooth Powder in Lavender
Burt's Bees Natural Men's Deodorant
Body Sense Fresh & Free Shea Honey Oat Soap
Burt's Bees Natural Men's Body Wash or Bar Soap & Aftershave
Yes to Carrots Exfoliating Cleanser
Tom's of Maine Body Wash (Lavender Moisture)
Kiss My Face Pure Olive Oil Face Soap
Burt's Bees Herbal Deodorant
Nahla Forest Mint Cleanser (and others)
Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo/Wash
Acure Organic Shampoo, Mint & Echinacea
Jason's Natural Cosmetics Fragrance Free Daily Shampoo
Beauty Products
Coastal Classic Creations: Blush, Foundation, Lipstick, Mascara, etc
Physician's Formula 100% Mineral Face Brightener in Light Glow
Physician's Formula Mineral Glow Pearls in Rose
E.L.F. Concealer
Revlon Lipsticks (mostly Colorstay, Colorburst, & Ultimate Liquid)
Eco Glo Lipsticks
Physician's Formula Healthy Wear Powder Foundation
Physician's Formula Bamboo Wear Powder in Creamy Natural
Au Naturale Lip-to-Cheek
A few things I want to mention: just because Burt's Bees, Revlon and Physician's Formula are listed doesn't mean all of their products are natural and safe. In fact, anything not listed here from these companies is not toxic-free. Revlon is the only drugstore brand lipstick that doesn't always include toxins and harsh chemicals (like lead)--honestly, it's all dependent on color/shade. Since lipsticks are often one of the products rated highest in toxicity, I would suggest going to the store and writing down the colors you like, then checking on Skin Deep before you buy.
So far, I'm using the Canus Fragrance Free Goat's Milk Bar Soap as my new body wash. I really like this product because I can buy it in the grocery store and it only costs $3.00. It just smells clean, which I prefer. For face wash, I tried Burt's Bees Orange Essence but wasn't a fan of the smell. I'm now using Kiss My Face Pure Olive Oil Soap, and it's amazing! The smell is clean as well, and olive oil has been proven to do wonders for your skin.
I haven't switched out my shampoo and conditioner yet. It's hard to find safe products in stores. Jason's Naturals are at the grocery store, but I'm not sure how I feel about fragrance free shampoo. I mean, this girl wants her hair to smell good, am I right?
I hope this list serves you well. Have you changed any of your skincare habits? I'd love to hear what you're using!

The soul reading is performed in a sacred space where I connect with your Angels, Mentors, Guides to receive the guidance that is the most needed for you at the time of the reading. You do not need to be present. A healing is performed as the reading is being dictated through me. Once completed I will email you the transcribed information received. We then can review it together over the phone.
You may use your PayPal account or any credit or debit card. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at (602) 819-2491

Soul Reading
The form of energy used for the healing is called REIKI (pronounced "RAY-key"). It is a form of hands-on healing with origins traced back at least 2,500 years through writings in Japan, the Buddhist Sutras and Tibetan sacred texts. Cultures dating back to ancient times have had the wisdom and knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things, and is directly related to health by stimulating vitality and well being. The ability to channel this energy has been passed from practitioner to practitioner through training lineages, since Dr. Usui "rediscovered" it at the end of the 19th century in Japan. The benefits of Reiki have been acknowledged by western medicine, as many nurses are attuned and using this technique on patients in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and hospice centers around the world. Reiki brings awareness of dysfunctional patterns, helps create balance, clarity and release at a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Testimonials on Healing/Readings:
Having taken Reiki attunements before I thought I knew what to expect, I was wrong. France blew me away with her knowledge, insight and clairvoyance. I had a life changing experience; one that has forever changed the course of my family and myself. I was shocked at just how accurate France was. She knew things about me, that quite honestly I had never voiced to anyone. Further, she was able to capture the spirit of my children, helping me to be a better parent and guide. Through this reading, France was deeply connected to my and my children's highest self, and was able to pull messages and insights on how we could achieve our highest purpose. This reading was not just a clairvoyance session. It was so much more. She brought through pure messages and was able to attach to those messages deeply profound insights from my highest self. Did I say I was blown away? ; ) I can't even think of the words to express my absolute gratitude for this reading and for finding someone with a true gift. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!! I would definitely reccomend this reading for everyone!!! Chelsa Michelson, Poway, CA
France Barringer's readings are the most amazing and insightful readings that I was ever given. She uncovered thoughts and feelings that I had never told anyone. Not only did she expose them, her channeling provided insight into helping and healing negative and unproductive emotions. The advice given was priceless. More importantly she also did a reading for each of my young children. She was so accurate and it was so powerful that it brought tears to my husband's eyes and mine. That is how healing it was. These readings were such jewels, that I will cherish them for many years to come. My gratitude and love to her for such a blessing. Dorian Hudson-Span, Chula Vista
I've had many readings done in my life by the most coveted channellers, but none were as accurate, profound, and transformational as the reading France Barringer did for me. She provided answers to my deepest questions that I've been carrying my whole life around family, love, business, prosperity, health, and purpose. Undoubtedly, her insight came from the higest wisdom of Spirit in remarkably specific ways that were breathtaking. It was as if my soul was talking through her and in the process, my greatest life mysteries have been unlocked. Now, I hold the grandest secrets to my life happiness in ways that I could never see before. Great change is inevitable after this reading, and so is the path to ease, inner peace, and empowerment that I've been seeking. Life is so much easier when you have the answers. If you're ready to uncover your deepest truths, then having a reading with France is not a luxury, it's a neccessity. End the struggle of having to find the answers on your own, and do this for yourself NOW! One reading with France can save you years or even a lifetime of searching! T. Vittorio DV , San Diego
My husband and I have been working on having a baby for about 6 months now. I have been going to France for Reiki treatments regarding fertility and any other issues that may pop up for 4 sessions now and I have to say that I have never been so relaxed and stress free. I feel like this is creating the perfect environment for pregnancy. I have noticed such a difference in how I react to things and feel so peaceful as we go through this progress of having a baby. During the treatment I feel such loving healing energy envelope me, I was also excited to hear that during one session our baby spoke to France!. France has a very special gift and I have and will continue to recommend her to people that are looking for an alternative type of healing! Diane D, Carmel Mountain Ranch
I heard about France's amazing accuracy regarding her readings from a friend that had them done for her and her children. I was so excited to have my own reading and hear what my higher self had to say. Boy was I blown away! Not only did I have a deeper understanding of who I am today and the amazing path that I am on, I was also able to heal 45 year old wounds between me and my Dad who had "left me" when I was 2 yrs old! Although I had been working healing for some time now (and my Dad is now a part of my life), the story that I had carried since I was a baby with a heavy heart, confusion and feelings of not being wanted were quickly healed. I felt a lightness come over me and I reached a peaceful understanding of why my Dad left and a new closeness with him replaced the wounds I had carried for so long. I can now truly look at my Dad and our relationship through eyes of love and understanding. Funny enough, I totally see a shift in how my Dad and I relate and he doesn't even know I had the reading!!! I love knowing that it has helped to heal him too! This is nothing like the readings that I have had in the past...France has an amazing gift that I believe can heal and release blocks that have been keeping you from going forward!! I have recommended her to many friends and will continue to do so! Dee Dee San Diego, CA
France is truly blessed with many gifts and one of them is giving healing readings. These readings provide information to the individual from their guides and Angels to assist them in recognizing truth, areas in need of development/attention, support and unconditional love. The reading France did for me provided all the above mentioned and so much more. An experience impossible to put into words other than to say, we truly are never alone even when we think we are. If you're ready to connect with the messages from your guides and feel the healing power of the Universe, then France is the person to seek. She is magically gifted and so humble in all she does; the ultimate combination. Joseph MC T, San Diego

Christian evangelist Rev. Billy Graham has died at age 99.
PHOTO ALBUM: Billy Graham In Texas
Reports say Graham died of natural causes at his home in North Carolina.
Raised in the fundamentalist faith of his native North Carolina, Graham dedicated his life to Christ when he was 16, and was ordained a Baptist minister in 1939. He created his own brand of populist evangelism. His "crusades," as he called them, were soon attracting millions in person and later through television.
In the summer of 2005, Graham preached at what he called his "Final Crusade." Graham said: "Deep inside we need something else. And that something else can be brought about by Jesus."
"When I touch the podium, I can feel a new strength and a new power come and it's a thrilling thing for me to preach the gospel at this age," Graham said.
The three-day event in New York City was the culmination of a lifetime of evangelism — seven decades of spreading the gospel to more than 200 million people in 185 countries around the world.
His message and service to U.S. presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to George W. Bush earned him the nickname "America's Pastor." In 1995 his Evangelistic Association designated his son William Franklin Graham III as the ministry's leader.

Hello PRC blog!
My name is S., but at school they call me Cat. I am a second-year student, studying at Western Michigan University. Though I spend most of my time in the snowy tundra that is Michigan, I hail from Wheaton, which is how I came to work at the People's Resource Center this past summer.
Growing up, the PRC was always a big part of my community. Everyone knew about it. My family supported PRC. However, it wasn't until this summer that I truly gained an understanding of how much good the organization actually does.
Signing on as a summer intern, I was not entirely sure what to expect from the position. I knew that I would be working on this blog, but I never could have imagined what it would be like to interact daily with the staff that devote their time and their lives to improving the lives of others.
Over the course of the summer, I interviewed amazing people, and recorded their stories for this blog. I wished everyone in the community would read every post, so they could feel even half of the amazement that I felt. I tried my hand at tutoring in Open Class, and created bonds with people who inspired me every day. I even got to dabble in assistant teaching for an art class with young children. Watching the children come back again and again with so much desire to be creative was inspiring. And then I helped with more mundane things like data tracking and analysis. Weirdly, I even enjoyed THAT!
When all of these things added up, I realized I had never been happier to be so busy.
I didn't know work could be like this.
I'm not sure I will ever be able to explain how thankful I am to everyone at the PRC–staff and students alike. The knowledge I gained was immeasurable, and the kindness I experienced was refreshing and heartwarming.
PRC gave me tools that I carry with me now, and always will. It helped me find my passion, and my aim. I want to help people.
PRC changed me, and I feel incredibly grateful.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
SEATTLE (BASN) — It's now official, Allen Iverson has signed a one year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and in the words of Terrell Owens "You better get your popcorn ready."
On Monday, December 7 at home in the Wachovia Center, Iverson will put his retirement on hold for a bit longer as he faces the Denver Nuggets. The Iverson factor has already done wonders for the 76ers organization.
Ticket sales have increased, the Barbershops are all a buzz and all things A.I. are being worn again in the City of Brotherly Love.
Now from my understanding the contract that Iverson signed isn't guaranteed which in my opinion is management and ownership agreeing in principal that this thing could blow up in their face.
Currently, the Sixers are 5-14 and owners of an eight-game losing streak. Allen Iverson has the opportunity to do something so special that they would replace Rocky with an Iverson statue if he's successful.
Everyone has opinion about this and we want to hear what's on your mind. BASN is having a contest sponsored by ETON and all you have to do is answer the following questions.
The first place winner will receive the ETON 360 radio. It will keep you up to date with all the action of your favorite sports team and alert you to any disaster that may be on the way.
The second and third place winners will receive the ETON FR160.
Here are the rules:

BRISTOL, United Kingdom: Rohit Sharma backed up the heroics of pace bowler Hardik Pandya by hitting 100 not out as India clinched the T20 international series at Bristol.
Sharma became only the second Indian to pass 2,000 runs in this format as India chased down their target of 199 with eight balls and seven wickets to spare.
Pandya took 4-38, his best figures in T20 cricket and MS Dhoni became the first player to take five catches in international T20 and ran out Chris Jordan on the last ball of England´s innings for good measure.
England batted first and threatened to post a huge score before Pandya and Doni pinned them back and the hosts finished on 198-9 after their 20 overs.

I wasn't expecting to include any poetry in this magazine, but this short offering from Ian Thomas changed my mind.
A small black LCD projector casts a beam of cold blue light
A silver wire running tight and parallel to the other wires
When ghosts and echoes light up memory
Standing against the empty gratifications of nostalgia and hope
There is only here

Features for Travel & TransportIs the Future Bright for Outsourcing? (part 1 of 3)
by Derek Parlour, Director, DJA Business Solutions
There are many books on outsourcing, but most are by academics, and few fully address multi-sourcing. In this first installment of three extracts from his book 'Successful Outsourcing and Multi-Sourcing', Derek Parlour draws on his experience working as a Commercial Director for National Rail Enquiries to address why businesses should outsource and how it can be done strategically.
more Gold all round for outsourcing in the Olympics
by Rupert Hodgson, sourcingfocus.com
The Olympics are coming, every day news articles relating to the 2012 Olympics appear in the media at an ever increasing rate as the games draw nearer. Many of these stories feature outsourcing companies that are either playing a dominant role in the running of the London Olympics or expect to gain increased business from the arrival of the Games.
