Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Forkner Moves Into a Tie For The Points Lead2018-03-11 10:05
Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Austin Forkner landed back on the podium for the third straight week and the result of his hard work pushed him into a tie for the points lead. Forkner will be running the red plate next weekend in St. Louis after a strong third-place showing. Martin Davalos tied his season-best finish of fifth and climbed up to eighth in the points standings.
On the heels of back-to-back wins, Forkner started the day as the top qualifier. He would finish third in his heat race, giving him a good gate pick to tackle the tough 180 degree first turn. The Kawasaki of Forkner was at the front when the riders cleared the turn and he tried to settle in for a demanding race. Forkner was running a solid race but unable to close the small gap to the leader, settling for second.
"I tried to run with those guys at the start and push really hard but I wasn't able to bridge the gap," said Forkner. "I got a little tight and had to settle back in to make sure I was hitting my lines because the track was pretty tough and changing a lot. My goal has been to be consistent and I've been able to do that the past few races, putting me in a good position with the points."
Davalos had a lot of great moments last weekend in Atlanta and tried to draw upon those moments as he took to the track in Daytona. He started the night off with a good showing in the heat race, finishing second. That helped him get a good start in the main event, starting the race off in seventh. Davalos worked hard to get up to the front-runners, making it as high as fourth place before eventually finishing fifth.
"It's been a tough opening four rounds so it's nice to be able to tie my best finish and overcome from an up and down weekend," said Davalos. "I'm ready to put myself on the podium and representing Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki at the front of the pack."

The Shadow of the Tower
They lived close to a fourteenth-century tower house, my grandparents. You couldn't see it from their house but it was only a few minutes away. They and the village lived in its shadow. When we were young and my Gran more energetic we would take the short walk up there. The solid tower sat alone atop a small hill with views up and down the valley with its meandering river snaking below. It was a strategic gem in the middle ages. Any marauding army wanting to cross the river would have to do it within view of the tower's watchmen. It was the perfect place for us to get lost in history. My cousins and I ran around the keep jumping over the ruined walls or the remnants of the old house. We took it in turns to be Robert the Bruce or William Wallace whilst Gran sat on a blanket in the lush grass, content to watch us repel the English invaders. Black and white Friesians stood and stared, slowly ruminating, unperturbed as we ran amok in their field, yelling and shrieking. Grandad told us how he would climb up to the ramparts of the tower when the Luftwaffe bore their destructive cargo through our valley. To the east the Rosyth naval base and to the west the famous Glasgow shipyards set the nocturnal horizons ablaze.
My aunt met me at the train station and drove me through the drizzle to my Grandparents' house. The train from King's Cross to Edinburgh felt slow on a journey I had taken dozens of times, familiar landscapes came and went. I stared at the grey sea and windswept beaches as we trundled along England's northeast coast and over the border, trying to temporarily empty my mind, trying not to contemplate terminology I knew only too well. 'Advanced cancer', 'palliation', 'metastatic disease'. An impossible task for a cancer nurse, impossible to disassociate myself, impossible to separate the private from the professional. When I arrived at their house on the outskirts of the village, Gran was in bed where the hospital transport service had left her the day before. I tip-toed through the three-room cottage, it smelled of boiled potatoes and something else I couldn't put my finger on. The bedroom door was ajar and I saw her, or what remained of her, lying in her single bed, on her side facing the wall. Eyes closed. Shallow breaths. The skin of her cheeks lay flaccidly, along her jawline. A tear pooled in her sunken, visible eye. Not born of emotion, just lacrimal fluid, a purely physiological reaction to a drying eye. Grandad, in his armchair in the living room, breathed heavily and muttered unintelligible sounds that only those on the other side of the conscious divide could comprehend.
Her name was Elizabeth, named as many were in those days because she was born in the same year as our Queen, Elizabeth II. I used to wonder what her name would have been if she had been born a year before. It was a game we played 'Patricia! Janet!' I would tease and she would laugh. 'Oh, really Duncan. Do I look like a Janet?' People would say there was a passing resemblance but I wasn't sure, she was just my gran. She, however, loved the comparison, her eyes lit up and she would allow herself a satisfied little smile. Gran had the same soft curls combed up away from the forehead, the same warm broad smile, the same blue-grey eyes and in later years the same wrinkles and fatigued face. Grandad would say 'I have my own Queen Elizabeth right here. Sometimes she even makes me tea', and he too would smile to himself, tickled by his own little joke. I never saw my Grandad in the kitchen and when I was young, I wondered who else made the tea. I made him a cup an hour ago with a chocolate biscuit and a whisky to go with it.
Returning home it always hit me, the rhythm of provincial life. Not much seemed to change but then that's the way the village liked it. The only hotel had been converted into apartments and Doctor Clark's office had a new disability ramp. The post office had gone as had White's, the grocer, the CO-OP had a new sign and a lick of paint but the balance, the staidness that had always hung in the air remained.
A disdainful neighbour, Annabell, from Gran's Presbyterian church, stopped by. She wanted to know if she could bring Grandad any dinner. I told her it was OK I had it under control. She nodded but her eyes questioned not only me but also my cooking abilities. She said she hoped to see him in church soon. I smirked at that, Grandad who was sitting in his armchair facing the TV that wasn't switched on, didn't lift his head. When she left I gave him another whisky. Gran was awake now shuffling in her bed, perhaps disturbed by Annabell's call. I went and crouched beside her. Although I had been there a few days it was largely in the presence of aunts or female cousins. Grandad and I banished to the living room or sent for a bit of fresh air whilst the women did 'women's work'. Had they forgotten I was a nurse? This time, however, we were alone. I took her hand and laid my forehead on her bony knuckles, not squeezing, just being. Her hand felt cool, clammy. The stillness was broken only by the occasional whirr of the small morphine pump, now her constant companion. The palliation being released under her skin, a mechanical hour-glass, an incessant yet superfluous reminder of time slipping away.
The constrained bedroom closed in on me. No natural light penetrated this confine. Mid-afternoon winter skies in the north easily succumb to darkness. The bedside lamp faced away from Gran, it illuminated nothing, only highlighted the bareness of the wall. When had the matrimonial bed changed to two singles? It saddened me to think they were being kept apart like this after over 60 years of marriage, depriving them of intimacy in their final days. A space of only a meter between beds but it was so much more. The top of the dresser once was crammed with personal effects collected over decades; wedding photos, Gran's hair brushes, the tiny glass vase with a plastic pink and dusty chrysanthemum and Grandad's ever-present jar of Brylcreem, was now almost bare, stripped of personality, devoid of their shared history. I recognised the boxes of medicine; antidiarrhoeal medicines, anti-emetics and a mouth wash. Their past replaced by my Gran's present.
"Duncan. Am I dying?" Her words rasped from a dehydrated mouth, a croaky question I should have been expecting. "Yes, Gran." My words escaped before I could catch them, before I could grab them and pull them back in. Wasn't it always the best idea to be honest in these situations? What was it we were told as nursing students? What was it I told my own students? Be empathetic. Try to ascertain what the patient already knows. What do they think and understand? What is their actual prognosis? Do you have all the facts at hand? Don't lie. Don't patronise. But none of that entered my head. I looked up at her and with more purpose whispered, "Yes Gran." She smiled at me and I knew I had said the right thing. I smiled back. There were no barriers between us. I kissed her hand. A conversation of fewer than 10 words but an unambiguous, umbilical, understanding between us. I knew it was the answer that she had been looking for. She just wanted someone to verbalise what she had already conceded. Had no one spoken to her about this before? My own mother told me my first words weren't with her but with my gran, how fitting now that some of her last meaningful words were with me. Her other hand reached across and stroked my head, soothed me like I was the one in need, forever a grandmother. She closed her eyes again and I took this as my sign to retreat. I joined my Grandad for another whisky.
The house is full of flowers now. They're in every corner, they cover every surface. They're crowding us out. Someone has brought Arum lilies, beautiful, pristine snow white, Arum lilies. They would have looked more at home in the hands of a bride starting a new life. I have no idea if she liked lilies or not but I think they're beautiful, majestic. I might take some up to the tower later.

One Response to "How to remove a stuck ring using an oxygen mask strap"
AB Castor 12. Jan, 2015 at 14:30
An elastic strap is too thick, and wrapping the whole finger is unnecessary. Use some 00 or 0 nylon suture and wrap tightly just above the ring, compressing the edema or fat. Slide the ring over the slippery suture, unwrap and rewrap above it again, and soon you'll be past the knuckle.

Prior to my release from prison on October 14, 2014, I have preconceived notions that my transition back into society would be a smooth one. My logic was mostly based on the notion that I prepared myself for for my eventual release. I had a very supportive family and friends who I believed would never turned their backs on me. It is safe to say that I totally underestimated what society would look like. As I talk at schools and detention centers, I often mentioned how difficult life can be after spending so much time in prison. I can go into a bevy of things that I am finding to be huge challenges, but I refuse to complain or feel sorry for myself. To put my struggles in perspective, I could still be in prison. But I'm not, so I have an opportunity to address my struggles. My number one struggle is complacency. After spending so much time and energy getting out of prison, and knowing how difficult it was, I should be the last person struggling with complacency.
My problems are mostly psychological. I am often down on myself because I feel like it is taking me too long to address my problems, knowing that I went through some very difficult stuff during my incarceration. I think one of psychological effects that traveled home with me was the death of my father during my incarceration. I would think 16 years is not a lot of time to spend with your father. In prison, inmates are conditioned to think a certain way; to protect our feelings; not show a softer more humane side of ourselves. The problem with that thought process is that it can get entrenched into your soul. And before you know it, you bring it home with you which often creates a whole new set of problems.
I can certainly tell you that there are a number of things that I am extremely happy about. Please forgive me if it appears like I am complaining. I'm not! I feel like I will overcome the feeling of being on the outside and not being able to find myself. Life is complicated but I'm not sure I'm in a position to complain. Besides, who would care if I did. My struggles with freedom are good problems to have. I remember many times, when I thought my life would end in prison. But that thought process got me to thinking about my childhood friend, Willie Stuckey. Willie lost his life in prison after spending 16 years for a crime that he did not commit. Whenever I think about the fact that Willie could not walk out the door with me, it leaves me with unspeakable sadness. Some would call it a burden, but I tend to think it is a phase that I struggle with constantly. I was talking to a friend of men, who suggested that it could be survivor's guilt. The fact that I'm here and Willie is not. I will not rule out the notion that I'm sad because I survived what is akin to being hell. Knowing that I did nothing wrong to feel this way, does nothing to overcome my sadness.
While some believe freedom is a state of mind, I believe that freedom can't be defined with one word, or one meaning. While I will always be eternally grateful for the opportunity to walk down the street and enjoy all the things life has to offer, I would not be telling the truth if I lied about what I go through sometimes. I'm struggling yes, but like most of my time in prison, I will find a way to get through my struggles. That said, society is a much different animal. Unlike prison, where there are not many distractions, and where everything is structured, there are so many distractions on the outside that I sometimes become overwhelmed. I struggle with issues that may seem small to others, are unimportant. I struggle on crowded trains. In prison, space is arguably the most important thing to have. On the outside, it seems like I am sharing space with millions of people.
In the end, it is up to me to figure things out. Much like in prison, when I desperately needed help, I wasn't afraid to ask for help nor am I afraid now. I will admit there is some trepidation at times because I am sensitive about imposing on other people's lives now that I am out of prison. After all, my family and friends have lives, so I don't want to appear selfish. The help that I need has less to do with finances, although important, but more to do with addressing my struggles. I continue to learn that it is very important that I embrace my problems which will hopefully make it easier to address them. I know that I've come along way and that this journey is still in motion. I'm going to be find but I must take those steps necessary to deal with my struggles. While I hope I'm not painting a picture of doom and gloom, I am fortunate to be in a position to write about this. Besides, I have met more than a few people who would love to struggle on the outside rather than sitting in a prison cell, so perspective is very important.

I have wanted to do a post on individualism for a while, but only now do I have my thoughts about it in order. (At least, I think I do.) What brought my ideas into focus was an article on the Ricochet.com website (which I highly recommend). This article is at http://ricochet.com/209th-birthday-alexis-charles-henri-clerel-de-tocqueville-beware-vacuum-individualism/
The article quotes Alexis De Tocqueville who wrote the book, Democracy In America, in the 1830s. He was a Frenchman whose parents were almost guillotined in the French Revolution, yet he himself grew to love American democracy. His insights and predictions are remarkable. He is clearly in favor of democracy but, surprisingly, against the individualism that generally accompanies it. Here is a quote from him:
"I see an innumerable crowd of like and equal men who revolve on themselves without repose, procuring the small and vulgar pleasures with which they fill their souls. Each of them, withdrawn and apart, is like a stranger to the destiny of all the others: his children and his particular friends form the whole human species for him; as for dwelling with his fellow citizens, he is beside them, but he does not see them; he touches them and does not feel them; he exists only in himself and for himself alone." Powerful stuff.
Then the author of the article, Louis Beckett, states, "Tocqueville fears an individualism where people replace a focus on God, neighbors, community life, charity ... with the glamorization of work and petty material comforts. He warns those of us who would make self-interest the only good: individualism is a vacuum, and that vacuum will be filled with government."
This is as good as Tocqueville's quote and a great insight. When the individual only worries about himself and not his neighbor, when he ignores his responsibility to God, when he does not participate in the community in a meaningful way either in church or in a civic organization, he leaves essential needs in the community unmet. That void is increasingly being filled by government and government is usually lousy at it. Government is a blunt instrument; it does everything by force. When it gives money to those in need, it first must extract it from its citizens. All voluntarism, and therefore all virtue, is lost.
Early in the book of Acts the fledgling church shared everything in common. It met the great need of the moment and brought everyone together. The beauty of it was that it was completely voluntary. Ananias and Sapphira wanted to make themselves look generous, but lied about it and were condemned. Peter made it clear that they were under no obligation. But when we allow government to do it, choice and freedom are excluded.
So what Tocqueville and Beckett describe is a bad kind of individualism. Is there a good kind of individualism, a Christian kind? I think there is. And here is where I must depart from some of the so-called progressive Christians.
Progressives sometimes want to take out of Christianity the most valid forms of individualism. Marcus Borg, who is wrong on just about everything, wrote a blog post about individualism where he said that one of the problems with evangelicals was their individualistic view of salvation. "Christian understandings of salvation are often individualistic. When Christians identify salvation with a blessed afterlife, with going to heaven, salvation becomes about the salvation of individuals." Umm ... yeah, that's about right. Salvation is by grace through faith - an individual thing. God does not save groups of people. How would He do that? I choose this church here, but not that one? Would your salvation depend on the group you belong to?
A Catholic might think that. Their religion is much more communitarian that Protestantism. In Catholicism you get saved by becoming Catholic (getting baptized). In Protestantism you become part of the (mystical) body of Christ by being born again. You join the group by being saved rather than the other way around.
Then Borg says that our individualism has caused us to consider morality to be mainly a personal thing. "For many Christians, morality is understood primarily to be about personal behavior." Yep, that's what I think. Progressives often think that individual morality is less important than vague notions like "economic fairness" and such like. Does that mean that having progressive social and political views makes one virtuous but actual personal virtue does not?
To me, individual virtue is the real virtue. If we live in an 'unjust' society (is there another kind in a fallen world?), then our individual virtue makes life good even for those at 'the bottom'. If we live in a 'just' society and have no individual virtue, I think we would be living in hell. But, of course, without individual virtue and morality there could be no just society. There is a reason that God gave us ten commandments that told the individual what to do. "Thou shalt not" is singular! (If it were plural it would have said "Ye shalt not.") When they obeyed the commands of God, they had a good and just though imperfect society. The commands to not steal, murder or commit adultery were put there for the express purpose of holding the society together. Even laws requiring the Israelites not to glean the edges of the field but leave them for the poor to glean were directed to individuals to help those in need. The government did not enforce this. Individual morality is the glue that holds a society together.
So I certainly believe that Christianity supports, and even requires, a certain kind of individualism. Yet it is not the fleshly, selfish individualism of the world but a godly dignity that places the onus for doing what is just and right on each of us. Imagine what it would be like if we always did the right thing.

The ascension of President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan has been adjudged divine in the jaundiced
opinion of some religious bigots who have refused to
confront the reality that God wanted us here on earth
to, improve it, subdue it and occupy till he comes and
our reward when he comes will not be as a result of how
many wives we had, how many cars we drove, how many
foreign countries we had been to, but on how we were
able to inconvenience others into positively changing
their ways. President Jonathan's take over as Acting
President was a cold calculated power game of using
others as cannon folder while keeping at safe distance
from the projectile in-case it backfires. This has been
the preferred route to power by President Jonathan. When
there was vacancy in Bayelsa State Government House, he
allowed those chanting constitutionalism to pave way for
his ascension and had that failed, he would have told
the Governor General of Ijaw land that he was not
interested in taking over. Same tactics was deployed
during the "Doctrine of necessity saga". The President
revealed this much during his interview with CNN
Christine Anampur(14 April 2010), where he said he knew
what he would have done to see Mr. President but chose
not to do it.
He chose not because he didn't want the
appendix President to his name but he wanted the people
to raise dust and again, in-case Yar'Adua recovered, he
would have been seen as a faithful deputy. If this
analysis is wrong, what became of the PDP Reform Group
that was chanting due process? Have they not scattered
since the President Jonathan's administration has
nothing to offer them after they paved way for his
ascension to Nigeria's most choice office? What became
of the Civil Society Groups that were chanting
constitutionalism so as to pave way for Mr. Jonathan to
become President Jonathan while our C-in-C was still
signing his swan song? I hope generations to come will
not blame us for expediting Yar'Adua's death; for we
were told that the constant sick leave of Yar'Adua was
responsible for the snail speed Nigeria at which Nigeria
was moving towards goodies for all in the nearest
future. Can these Civil Society Groups stand up to
protest the darkness in the land?
My anger today, I am sure it is also
yours, only that you cannot express it, is the irritant
manner people are saying that 2011 is Goodluck's because
God brought him in. Please wake up. His victory in 2011
is because the opposition are not organised, they are
busy splitting hair while PDP is using state funds to
intensify its war chest.
In the history of the Jews called the Old
Testament, at different times, God allowed his chosen
people to be chastised by a hostile kingdom. He also
allowed his own chosen King to be mean to his people
because of sin. If there is God in all affairs of a
nation, can we say he brought Jonathan for good or to
punish Nigerians for the manner in which we buried
Yar'Adua while he was alive? Before you decree fatwa,
let me point out the following;
I now write with candle for there is no
light to recharge the rechargeable. The light situation
has gone from comatose to purification. Under Yar'Adua
it was one day on one day off but with Jonathan on the
throne, it is Ľ day on four days off. Many small scale
industries have packed up; many intellectuals have
become drunks all because there is no light to procreate
intellectually. The springboard from underdevelopment to
development is the presence of active small scale
industries. It is the presence of artisans and
fabricators of different things. In Nigeria although did
not start with Jonathan, what we have is young men being
given Keke in the name of poverty alleviation. It is
Jonathan's headache because as a PHD holder, I don't
expect him to make some simple mistakes a primary 6
certificate holder will make. He had been Deputy Gov.,
Governor, Vice President, Acting President and
President. If after all these suffix to his name and he
cannot solve Nigeria's problem in a year, he doesn't
deserve any elongation.
Is God not source of light? If he brought
Jonathan why is Jonathan giving us darkness? Let us
sincerely seek the face of God and find out if he truly
gave Nigerians this president and if true, is it for
punishment or blessing?
Let all these aspirants stop talking
about zoning either generationally or geo-politically
and tell Nigerians how they want to revamp the
dilapidated textile industries, equip the hospitals and
improve light situation in Nigeria. Tai Solarin said
knowledge is light and the Nigerian leaders not wanting
us to see how they are ruining the country have
consciously done everything to make sure that education
suffers in Nigeria. Have any of these aspirants said
anything about the over 4 months strike by ASUU in the
South East? And these are the youths they want their
These religious leaders, who go about
bantering divine mandate, should be careful, for the
hottest part of hell, is reserved for religious leaders
who had the rear opportunity of speaking truth to these
corrupt politicians but failed to because of the
offering they are expecting.

Using Microsoft Entourage on my Mac
I'm not really a Microsoft fan, nor do I consider myself a Microsoft hater. I generally like Linux and free Open Source software, and as a network and software engineer type I really like the power and flexibility of Unix-like operating systems. I made the switch to Mac because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and if I would benefit from a "Unix like system that just works." Though there were a few bumps in the road, I'm pretty happy overall. Sometime maybe I'll post about my Mac experience and thoughts in a broader sense.
This post is about Entourage. When I started this fall, my employer was using Zimbra for our mail and calendar platform. A few weeks ago we migrated to Microsoft Exchange. As a Mac user, I'd gotten very happy with Mail.app and iCal; suddenly I was in an environment where my iCal couldn't sync to the server like it did previously with Exchange. The only real solution was to either use the web-based client OWA (Outlook Web Access) or to switch to Entourage. I decided to give Entourage a shot.
Entourage is like Microsoft's Outlook for Mac. It has most of the same features, but a very different interface.
One of the most annoying things I immediately noticed was the layout of the message list pane. By default there's a three column view, folders (etc), message list, and message preview pane. I'm ok with this in general, but the message list was not very configurable. Sure you could change how messages were sorted, but the messages were ALWAYS displayed using two text rows, even "conversation" headers with only tiny text like an arrow and the work "mail" used two lines, wasting tons of space and limiting the info and number of messages I could see at any one time. I could change that, but I switched to a two column view with message list above the preview pane. This works pretty well as the messages in the list now only use one line and the columns displayed are fully configurable.
This has seriously been my biggest beef so far, though there are others. But I'm really tired… I'll come back to discuss the other issues. Bottom line though, since I need some of the Exchange functionality, I don't have a lot of choices, but it's not too bad once you get past some quirks.

Rowland to remain free pending appeal
NEW HAVEN – A federal judge ruled Thursday that Republican Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland can remain free on appeal of his conviction in a political consulting scheme.
Attorney Andrew Fish argued in court papers on April 17 that Rowland has a good chance of having his conviction overturned and doesn't pose a flight risk.
Rowland was sentenced on March 18 to 2 years in prison on charges that include conspiring to hide payments for work he did on the 2012 congressional campaign of Lisa Wilson-Foley.
Fish argues that prosecutors failed to tell the defense that Wilson-Foley said she believed Rowland was hired to do legitimate consulting work for her husband's health care company.
Rowland will be permitted to voluntarily surrender, if his appeal is denied and is scheduled to report by noon on June 16.
Rowland requested to be placed in Otisville Federal Correctional Institute in Otisville New York, about 130 miles from Hartford. The judge recommended Rowland serve his time there.
The former governor was convicted of seven crimes, four of them felonies, last year.
The judge's ruling can be found here.

Recently, I got pretty sick. Not your common cold kind of sick, but 12 days in the hospital, 6 days spent in the ICU kind of sick. The completely blind-side you kind of sick. The, as I am typing this, I am still battling kind of sick. Ok, you get the point. Now, although I am still sick, and patiently waiting for my healing, my faith in God has been transformed. Strange? No, amazing things can happen when your life hangs in the balance. "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18) This time a year most people spend time "giving thanks" for what they are thankful for. If you would have asked me a month ago what I was most thankful for I would have given you an answer something like, "my husband, my son, my health, my job, my church". Today, while I am still thankful for those things, they carry a very different meaning to me. During these past few weeks, my husband has shown a quiet strength that is given only by God. He has lead our household just as God has called him to do. For that, I am thankful. Psalm 28:7 says, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song"
Spending time in ICU, and several other days in a hospital wing, seeing people suffering far greater than even me, could not help but shift my emotional "thankfulness" to that of a "thankfulness" state of mind. While in the ICU, one event specifically comes to mind. I called for the nurse, and she took more time to come to my room than usual. When she finally arrived, she apologized and said she was attending to someone who was dying. Today I am thankful for my life. I am Thankful in a way I have never been before for my Savior. I am overwhelmed by the amount of support my family received by our church family, through visits, meals, and prayers. There are people out there whom I will most likely never meet, who were praying for my healing and for my family. For that, I am thankful. I believe that I could wake up tomorrow fully healed. Jesus Christ has that healing power. Nevertheless, if He chooses to lengthen my time of healing, to teach me to become a more thankful, patient, or perhaps a lesson yet unseen, I accept that. If there is one lesson that I have fully learned and embraced, it is thankfulness. Not, emotional thankfulness, but thankfulness as a state of mind. What is the difference? To put it simply, your spouse gives you a necklace you have been wanting for a long time. You are thankful. Or, you overpaid your escrow for the year and your unexpectedly get a refund check in the mail. You are thankful. These are pretty basic. A thankfulness state of mind is hard to come by. Do I think I've got it down and will never slip? No. I am human. However, I certainly believe that my mind has shifted to believing in a more thankful way. For example, as I have said before, I am thankful for my life. Not just, I get to wake up every day, but my life. What my life is: A gift. When you are told you are sick enough to need immediate treatment or you could die, the realization that your life is a gift from God becomes a reality. The reality that you have a family who depends on you, now requires your faith to get through the course. Everyone has bad days. I had my fair share of grouchy, irritable, "I'll do better tomorrow" days, not ever realizing those days were numbered. Sure, you hear the cliché, "you never know when your last day will be", but you never think it will happen to you. I can guarantee you, by switching to a thankful state of mind, I will be kinder to my husband and kinder to my son. Because I never again want to say, "I'll try harder tomorrow". I've learned that by having a thankfulness state of mind, my eyes are opened to many positives through my illness. My love and appreciation for my husband has grown deeper. I have always had a very difficult time letting him "do" any of the housework. Not because he isn't capable, but simply because of my controlling nature. God found a way to humble my controlling nature, and I have found that my husband is an excellent and organized housekeeper. In place of control has grown an appreciation for all the hard work he has had to take on in my absence. I have learned humility. Some of the people closest to me have now seen me at my worst, and I have always considered myself to be the "caretaker" in most of my relationships, and I have now been on the receiving end of the "caretaking" and have had to graciously accept their help. I have seen a true shining example of Christian stewardship. The outpouring support of our friends has brought me to tears many nights. There weren't many times when I was alone in my hospital room, but when I was, it could get pretty quiet. However, it was in those quiet times, I felt Christ presence the most, letting me know I was never alone. After 35 years of smoking, my father decided to stop. In his words, "if you can fight for your life and it's not even your fault, I can stop a stupid habit and live to see my grandson get married." Glory to God!
If I wake up tomorrow fully healed, I will thank God. If I have weeks or months of treatments to undergo, I will be thankful. Because I will know, that God has a plan for me. He may have thrown me a curve ball, but I believe there is a beautiful lesson to be learned in all of this, I am terrible in baseball, but Our God bats 1000.
"Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. " Jeremiah 17:14
"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever." Psalm 30:11-12

There are many reasons you may want to fly abroad for your all your cosmetic or laser surgery needs. And, indeed, this a rising trend among many people. For some, it is the cost. As an elective surgery, cosmetic procedures are usually not covered by insurance companies and so you must pay for it out of your own pocket.
Due to this expense, many seek countries outside of their own for cheaper rates on surgery. There is usually a huge disparity between how much you pay for surgery at home and how much you will pay for it in other parts of the world.
There is also the matter of privacy. Many people would prefer to ask for vacation time to visit a foreign country rather admit to undergoing cosmetic surgery. By getting the procedure done in another country, you are affording yourself a sense of anonymity.
Finally, you can combine your procedure and your holiday, all in one! You can choose to recover in an exotic location that will hopefully distract you from your discomfort while allowing you to enjoy your time off. Since this is a popular choice for many, there are certain destinations in the world that have become especially well known for their elective surgical prowess. Here are some of those countries:
While Turkey might be a surprising entry on the list, Turkey has many hospitals that are Joint Commission International credited. This means that globally, these hospitals have received their stamp of approval regarding their high standards in care. This makes it a common – and safe – destination for many people, especially in Europe and the Middle East.
There are many reasons to choose to visit Thailand cosmetic surgery is just another motive. With its excellent doctors, high hospital standards, and overall outstanding care, this region is becoming a giant in the medical procedure field.
All you need to do just search for "breast surgery thailand" on search engine. Another lure is that with Thailand's gorgeous beaches, you can recuperate in the ultimate holiday spot.
This country is known for its beauty and with 4500 plastic surgeons, Brazil will clearly continue to be beautiful. With so many cosmetic procedures happening locally, Brazil has now become a popular destination for people from all over the world. It stands to reason that with so many specialists, this country has a handle on how to make people look good.
Singapore is said to have the sixth best healthcare system in the world. With so much of faith in its healthcare facilities, tourists flock to this destination to receive the best possible care in cosmetic procedures. Singapore has also made significant medical advancements in the field of plastic surgery and is applying it to its practices.
South Korea
Cosmetic surgery is very popular within South Korea, itself. Many native women have undergone at least one procedure. Due to this prevalence, the country heavily promotes the industry, drawing many international clients. It also appeals to foreigners by offering packages which include the surgery as well as a holiday all wrapped up in one!
Well now you know – while you are getting beautiful you can also vacation in some of the most beautiful places in the world. They are so many options to actually enjoy your vacation time while you recover from your surgical procedures. Let's be honest, how can you not feel better watching the sunset as you sit on a beach?

our history of innovation
The founders of IDEAL LIFE begin the path of disrupting an industry. Traditional players in telemedicine focused on mini-computers for local data processing and video conferencing; expensive and technically complex.
The first patent is issued which validates the innovative technology based approach of IDEAL LIFE - to leverage the power of remote data processing through simplified local viewing tools (or terminals) rather than high powered intelligent local processing devices The electronics industry begins to release the first consumer Bluetooth products (headphones, keyboards) with many technical challenges.

d'Arenberg is one of the most significant wineries in McLaren Vale. In 1912 Joseph Osborn, a teetotaler and director of Thomas Hardy and Sons, purchased the well established Milton Vineyards in the hills just north of the townships of Gloucester and Bellevue, now just known as McLaren Vale. d'Arenberg is continuing to produce wines that are a credit to both the winery and the region. In 1996 they completed renovating the property's 19th Century Homestead incorporating cellar door tastings and a restaurant, appropriately named 'd'Arry's Verandah' overlooking McLaren Vale and the Willunga escarpment falling into the Gulf of St Vincent. d'Arenberg is a McLaren Vale tradition to be proud of. Visit the d'Arenberg website.

This Friday brings in Pennsylvania Author
Jodie Wolfe
who creates novels where hope and quirky meet. She's been a semi-finalist and finalist in various writing contests and is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) and Romance Writers of America (RWA). When not writing she enjoys spending time with her husband in Pennsylvania, reading, walking, and being a Grammie. Learn more at www.jodiewolfe.com.
Jodie is here to tell us about her latest romantic novel An Angel for the Cowboy, which is part of the Let Love Spring: A Historical Spring Collection.
Chapter One
Wanted: A man of faith and means, willing to enter a marriage of convenience by April 14th. Must be a fine and upstanding citizen. No cowboys or drifters need apply. All inquiries should be sent to: E. Love in care of Burrton Grove Gazette, Burrton Grove, Kansas.
February 14, 1876, Burrton Grove, Kansas
The staccato beating of her heart reverberated in Esther Love's ears as she read her announcement in the local newspaper. Two months to save her home and sisters. Would the Lord see fit to provide a man in time?
Her middle sister entered the tiny kitchen of the home they'd lived in all their lives. Essie snapped the weekly periodical closed and shoved it under a book. The house hadn't been the same since Pa died six months prior. Ma had passed decades earlier when Essie's youngest sister was a babe. A year ago, all had been right in the world, and she'd had a bright future ahead of her—a wedding to plan—but then that no-account banker had reneged on his promise.
"Essie." Her sister's voice was a welcome diversion from her dismal thoughts.
Kitty stood with her hands planted on her slim hips. "Essie, you aren't listening to me. Why haven't you changed yet? You can't wear that to go to the sweetheart dance."
Essie glanced down at her rumpled dress and the ink stains on her fingers. "I'm not going."
The same men who attended every other town festivity would be at that dance. None of them were suitable to come to her rescue or would be willing to take on the restrictions she required. Especially since her lame-brained ex-fiancé had blabbed all over town about her being a dime novelist, an unemployed one, at that.
"Runnin' from folks won't solve your problem." Teddy, her youngest sister, shoved the tails of Pa's shirt into her dungarees. Ma would've never allowed them to wear such garb, but she'd not seen fit to live long enough to take Teddy in hand. No matter how hard Essie tried, the girl refused to be tamed.
Essie stared at her eighteen-year-old sister. Teddy was at the age where she should be thinking of beaus and settling down to run her own household instead of spending her time outdoors taking care of the farm. Her long thick braid slapped against her waist as she leaned against the dry sink.
Teddy speared her with a look. "Just 'cause that no-account insect went back on his word, don't mean you shouldn't try and snag some other fella's attention."
Essie refrained from rolling her eyes at her sister's poor grammar.
Kitty chimed in, "She's right you know."
She snorted and glared at her sisters. "I have no desire to go tonight and be the object of everyone's pity."
Kitty sidled up beside her and wrapped an arm around Essie's waist. "If you don't go, everyone will think you're yellow, and nothing could be further from the truth. Besides, you haven't been out of the house in weeks. We're concerned about you."
She'd slipped out a week ago to go to the newspaper office before they closed so she could sign up for the advertisement in today's paper, the one she hoped her sisters didn't read. Perhaps she should've disguised her name. "I've been out of the house." Too late. She wished she could retract the words as soon as they spewed from her lips. Essie hefted a sigh.
Teddy's eyebrows rose on her broad forehead, the same broad forehead they had each inherited from their pa. "When did you set foot outside of the house? You've been flailin' like a peacock in a mud pile ever since that two-bit nuisance broke off your engagement. In fact, you've been mighty tight-lipped since that day." Her sister's eyes narrowed. "You never did tell us what the bank manager wanted to meet with you about either."
"Are you going along to the dance, Teddy?" Essie prayed the question distracted her sister. "I'll go if you will."
"Oh yes, please. It won't be any fun if you don't both attend." Kitty smiled and reached for Essie's and Teddy's hands.
Teddy continued to stare at Essie for a moment before she responded. "If it'll get Essie out of the house, I'll go."
Essie sneaked a peek at her youngest sister. More than likely the subject change hadn't fooled Teddy. She'd lay in wait like a flea on a hound dog, scheming for the opportune time to attack. Maybe an evening away would distract Teddy from thinking about it. Then again, the chances of that were as rare as God dropping an interested man on her doorstep who would solve all her problems.
An Angel for the Cowboy Synopsis
When the bank threatens foreclosure on Essie Love's home, it's up to her to provide for her sisters. She'll do whatever it takes to save them, even if it means marrying a stranger.
Jud Steele is wanted for a crime he didn't commit. Wounded and left for dead, he lands on Essie's doorstep. While she nurses him back to health, he finds himself longing for a home and family.
Can two desperate people find a path that leads to what they both need?

More and more, people living in the Richmond and Ottawa surroundings are upgrading their homes and making decisions to use materials and solutions that leave a positive impact on the environment. Minimizing the impact on the environment and reducing our carbon footprint is both responsible and cost saving in the long term.
Below are some ideas to consider when you decide to hire an Ottawa roofing or Richmond roofing company to reduce your carbon footprint when making decisions about your home's roof.
Recognize Damage to Your Roof and Take Action Immediately
As soon as you detect leakage in your attic, exterior ice buildup, mold or mildew on the interior walls or ceiling, peeling or blistering of paint, decay on the siding of your home or curling shingles it is an indication that there is damage to your roof. More so, if the energy bill shoots up higher than expected, you already know that your roof is not doing its job to insulate. Not only will this result in more damage to your home over time, it also means that your energy bill will continue to increase. It is time to take action to repair your roof, save money and reduce energy.
Ottawa Roofing and Richmond Roofing Companies Offer Shingles Made from Refurbished, Recycled Materials
More types of shingles are reaching the consumer designed from materials that are eco-friendly. Composite roofing materials made from recycled asphalt and steel can be purchased, reducing the use of new material. Rubber roofs made from refurbished tires are a good option as they are highly durable and have a long warranty of 30-50 years.
They Offer Eco-Friendly Attic Insulation
A poorly insulated roof will waste thousands of dollars in the lifespan of your home on your utility bill as it will let in too much heat in the summer, overworking your air conditioner or letting too much warmth out in the winter. Insulation is not a way to cut corners- proper insulation is a necessary spending that will repay itself in only a short time. There are various insulation options from recovered and recycled materials of various content of natural or recycled product. These include: Cellulose (shredded newsprint), mineral and wool fiber, cotton and even straw. Saving energy means saving money and reducing your carbon footprint. Ensure you discuss this when obtaining quotes from an Ottawa Roofing or Richmond roofing Company.
Discover Green Living Roofs
A new growing alternative is roofing that is living and organic. Ideal for city centers and contributing to oxygen regeneration where shrubs, grass and coppices are grown over the barrier and drainage of a roof. This is environmentally beneficial as most storm water is absorbed and relieved from draining, while providing a strong barrier from heat and cool air transfer. There are various uses for these types roofs.
