What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic Medicine is a form of primary health care that utilizes natural, traditional and scientific knowledge to treat and prevent disease. The goal of Naturopathic Medicine is to address the root cause of an illness and help people achieve optimal wellness. Naturopathic Doctors use natural therapies (including botanicals, acupuncture, homeopathy and nutrition) to stimulate a person's own healing ability. With the belief that every person's health is unique, Naturopathic Medicine provides individualized care that encompasses a person's physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Naturopathic Doctors have been regulated in Ontario since 1925. Some of it's therapies though, have been around for thousands of years including acupuncture and hydrotherapy. With its ancient roots, Naturopathic Medicine takes a progressive patient-centred approach. Naturopathic Doctors believe that a person has control of their own personal health and wellness and the role of a doctor is to empower and support them.

Today is a great day. A few weeks ago, I was made redundant, The company, which I genuinely enjoy, has been awesome in helping me find a new job. They also gave me 4 weeks notice (which I think is required by law), so I have been working on getting a job.
And today, the offer came in, two days before my last day.
The job is a step up in responsibility, a step up in pay, and it is on the bleeding edge of technology, so I am pretty excited about the future.
In the last week, I have been patiently/impatiently waiting on the offer. For me, anticipation is a terrible feeling. I personally hate it. the pressure builds, and I find that I have all this nervous energy without a place for it to go. I wish for things to happen now, and to handle it. With the offer coming in today, it was literally seeping from my body, and the first thing I thought about was how to celebrate.
*Ice Cream*
*Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream*
*The Tonight Dough*
As those thoughts entered my mind, it was a weird moment. I haven't had ice cream in three months. In those three months, I have been on the straight and narrow. Now people will tell me, "WanderingExPat, it is ok, it is a treat!" but in reality, my head space is completely different at the moment. The old me would have already gone to the story, come home, and already broken out the ice cream, chomping down on the pint like no tomorrow, satisfied and happy that things are all right in the world. I got a raise, I got the job that I want, and it is exciting… time to eat to top this off.
New Me however reacted differently.
OK, do I want to eat ice cream and wipe out the last two days of weight loss? Ugh, I haven't had significant sugar in three months, this will lay me out. Is the Ice Cream worth it?
And that was a pretty shocking honestly.
Food and emotion often go hand in hand. For me, I would often eat when I was sad, I eat when I was happy, I eat when I was bored, I eat when I was nervous, or stressed, or ansy, or… for anything. Food is that comfort, and that quiet supporter, because a pint of ice cream or a bucket of wings never judges me.
But using food to placate or enhance my emotions is toxic. Just like drinking to be happy, or drugs to feel normal, I need to make sure that food and emotions not mix so much anymore… at least in terms of a catalyst for me to eat something unhealthy.
So while I celebrate this day, there will be no Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream tonight.
I will have Ice Cream at some point, it will become that 2-3 times a year food I will have. But I am not breaking my streak yet. Not while I'm on a roll.

First Days of Spring
Company: Tsuge
How Packaged: 1.76oz Tin
Style: Aromatic
Tobacco Used: Black Cavendish, Perique, Virginia
Casing/Topping: Fruit/Citrus
Cut: Ribbon
Bowls Smoked: 2
Date Purchased/Obtained: 8/18/15
Storage Method: Freshly Opened Tin
Pipe(s) Used: Drew Estate Tsuge
Price Point: $12.95
Purchased: CigFed Store
(Check them out in the store HERE.)
Quick Note: To view the Pipe Tobacco rating system used, click here.
Tin/Jar Note: Sweet & plumy. There is also a citrusy sweetness in the background.
Visual: A clean ribbon cut, with a nice moisture content and the occasional dark flakes of Black Cavendish.
Flavors: Lots of Virginia and Black Cavendish notes and natural sweetness. The topping is mostly evident as a sweet plum and fruity cherry note, but it is not overpowering.
Smoking Experience: Although obviously an aromatic, it really does smoke more like a Virginia and doesn't come off as heavily doused in topping. My wife even commented on my return inside, that I smelled like smokey wood and didn't realize I had smoked an aromatic. Relights are intermittent and nothing out-of-control.
Tobacco Strength: Mild
Body: Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
Comparable Tobacco: Similar to Tsuge's other aromatics, but with much less focus on the topping and a very natural profile.
Conclusion: Nothing bad to say about this blend. It had no gurgle or tongue bite and burned well. The flavors were nice but nothing spectacular. This would definitely be a good aromatic to try if you either don't (think you) like aromatics or you need a tranistion into the flavored tobaccos.
Rating: 3 Stars AKA "When it is on Sale" – Wouldn't pay full retail but would purchase it on sale

KINGMAN – The Lee Williams High School girls basketball team used balanced scoring and pressure defense to win its home opener 39-15 over Kingman Academy on Tuesday night.

Lee Williams continued the defensive pressure and only allowed the Academy to score three points in the second quarter as it built a 17-point halftime lead. It was a similar story in the second half as the Lady Vols went on to pick up their second straight win of the season.
Cassidy Torrey led Lee Williams with 10 points, while Siona Allen scored six and Haylee Davis added five points. Sadie Snay and Ellie Thomas each had four points, while Madison Arave and Kaylee Bond added three points each.

Turkey TV preacher jailed for life on fraud, abuse charges
ISTANBUL: Turkish police arrested Islamic television preacher and author Adnan Oktar and more than 160 of his followers in dawn raids across Turkey on Wednesday, saying they were suspected of forming a criminal gang, fraud and sexual abuse.
Officers from the financial crimes section carried out raids in five provinces and were still searching some properties, Istanbul police said in a statement.
Oktar runs his own television channel A9 on which he has hosted talk shows on Islamic values. On occasion he was broadcast dancing with young women he called "kittens" and singing with young men, his "lions".
According to his website, Oktar has written more than 300 books, translated into 73 languages, including one under his pen-name Harun Yahya in which he argues that Darwin's theory of evolution is at the root of global terrorism.
In February, Turkey's television watchdog suspended a television programme hosted by Oktar that blended theological discussion and dancing, saying it violated gender equality and women's rights.
Hurryiet newspaper said police raided Oktar's house at Cengelkoy on the Asian side of Istanbul, detaining him and his guards who tried to resist and flee. Police said they had so far arrested 166 people out of 235 sought suspects.
Accompanied by police, Oktar held up his handcuffed arms as he emerged after a mandatory health check at hospital before being taken to a police station in Istanbul.
Oktar has in the past accused British intelligence of requesting the Turkish authorities to take action against him.
Oktar, who began forming groups of followers at the end of the 1970s, has faced a number of trials on charges including forming a criminal gang, but was acquitted.

Jehovah is King–
you don't have the room
to spare inside your
prune shaped heart, so dark,
wrapped in shriveled skin.
Jehovah is King–
his name is sour
on my tongue; I gag
on the testaments
you blindly recite.
Jehovah is King–
you sold him your soul
at the cost of your
daughter and two sons,
plus five grandchildren.
Jehovah is King–
you're missing the point.
You are not Christian.
You are not human.
I will not mourn you.
I'm glad I have your potato salad recipe.

Can anyone please give me a tarot reading?
Hello i would like to know if its possible to have a tarot reading? I have a question maybe two related to my romantic life…which by the way is killing me…im so sad and i need to have an answer! answer not even my partner can tell me…so thats why i need to know so i can be..lets say…in peace letting go….
thank you!!!!!
Suggestion by Tell Me No Lies.
tarot cards are a scam.
you should no that by now.
Suggestion by Sharia206
Q. my romantic life…which by the way is killing me…im so sad and i need to have an answer! answer not even my partner can tell me…so thats why i need to know so i can be..lets say…in peace letting go….
Position One: Conditions brought over from the past: The EIGHT OF WANDS in this position shows someone in the relationship moving way too fast. Over-giving to the point of suffocation. Saying I love you by the second date. Volunteering to forsake all others by the third date. Talking about the future, living together, marriage and having children. In essence the Eight of Wands indicates a one-sided commitment made too soon with the unrealistic expectation that they wanted the same.
Position Two: Present Conditions: The FOUR OF CUPS shows the trouble you're having figuring the relationship out, but taking the time to analyze what went wrong or why you behaved the way you did with them is what must be done.
Your partner appears to be emotionally unavailable at the time of this reading; this person tells you they do not know what they want from your relationship or how they really feel about you. They appear to be growing colder and more distant and even hostile toward you. Back off.
Position Three: What will happen in the future: The TWO OF CUPS REVERSED. Unfortunately there are further complications with this union as there seems to be someone else in the picture. Perhaps someone from the past, an old love or it may be someone older than they. Whether your partner has genuine feelings for this person is unclear. It is unlikely you and your partner will work things out romantically, but even if you do not stay together you will always be in love with each other. It just may be that you have found a spiritual soul mate with whom you will share everything except for sex.
I have included what I think will be a useful link to you.
Add your own answer in the comments!
do you believe in tarot cards reading?
do you believe in tarot card reading, physics and palm reading?
i didnt, before me and my friends got one done as a joke, and everything she said came out right, not about my future, but about me. as a person. things i never told ANYONE, things i tried to hide from myself.
it was really creepy, ever since then, i started believing.
have you had an experience like that, do you believe?
Suggestion by Michael K
"before me and my friends got one done as a joke, and everything she said came out right,"
Same thing with prophecies: If you're general and vague enough, it'll seem like it's 100% correct.
Suggestion by Phoenix Rising
Nope and I used to give amazing readings. You know why? Because anyone with a just a little practice can do a cold read that will make your skin crawl if you are suggestible enough and most people are suggestible enough.
Suggestion by Pastors George and Sharon
Tarot cards, psychics and palm reading all have satan and the demons in common. It is they who make them work.
What do you think? Answer below!

At about 10:30 A.M. on December 31, 2010, I lost my beloved dog Lucky.
Lucky was nine- and-a-half years old and died of lymphoma. He died in my arms while we were driving to the hospital. I cannot get the last few minutes of his life out of my mind. His last cry, his last few breaths. His little heart beating, then stopping. It was surreal. I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
Lucky was a rescue - in fact my first rescue ever. I found him under a car one fateful day. It was a Friday in early June 2001. Tropical Storm Allison was rumbling towards Houston, about to unleash its fury on us mortals. I had decided to walk my little prince, Nikita, a nine-pound Maltese, before the storm hit. The day looked ominous, it was afternoon, and it had turned almost pitch black.. Nikita and I, linked by a leash, had just rounded the corner from the street where we lived when Nikita began barking incessantly and straining toward a parked car. As we neared the vehicle, he continued barking and tried to crawl beneath the car. As yet unable to see in that hidden space, I had no idea what he was after, but I knew Nikita would not mislead me. Peering under the car, I spotted the cowering animal who would become "my little boy.."
Cute as a button, he shook like a leaf. I though he could not have been more than three months old. I knew I could not leave him there. I tried to get him out from under the car, but I could not reach him, so I gently started calling him to come towards me. Initially, he refused to venture forth, but after a few tries I persuaded him to inch toward me. I think he knew he was in trouble and would be safer following me. So he did.
There we were, on a deserted street under darkening skies. I now carried Nikita, who never stopped barking. Fortunately, Lucky followed us all the way home. Back at the house, I opened the garage door and let him in. Inside, I brought him some water and some food that he swiftly scarfed down. I laid some blankets on the floor for him, and he slept in the garage that night. Outside, apparently not frightening Lucky as much as being alone and homeless under an automobile in a vast human-made landscape, powerful thunderstorms struck, anticipating Tropical Storm Allison, which would wreak destruction in coming days. The following morning, amid the storm, I took him to a veterinarian, who told me that, aside from some intestinal parasites, Lucky was a healthy little youngster. I took him home that day, and my scared little boy became a member of the Roba family. I decided to call him Lucky because I knew he was so lucky to find me that day. I knew had I not found him that day, he would have died during the powerful storm that battered Houston for the next few days and caused a lot of human and nonhuman deaths.
Luck, as I used to call him, along with the prince Nikita, became my teachers. They both taught me how to love unconditionally, taught me to be humble and patient and to have reverence for all life. They showed me the importance of living in the moment and of being spontaneous and genuine. Because Luck and Nikita showed me how to respect nonhuman animals, I soon stopped eating meat. Within a couple of years, I had stopped eating or wearing any and all animal products. I eventually was inspired to create, in collaboration with my dear sister Seble, the Amsale Gessesse Memorial Foundation, an organization to honor my mother and Seble's aunt, and more importantly, dedicated to fighting for all nonhuman animals and for all human beings devalued or discarded by their societies.
My lucky has his paw print on my heart forever. His gentle soul and his kind disposition will always be in my heart. I will never forget how, during feeding time, he would wait till all my other dogs - Sasha, who came to live with me in 2003, Duke, 2005, Suzie Q, 2009 - had finished eating before he would begin, and if he was eating and little Nikita started barking at him, he would walk away and let him eat. He was also very loyal. A cousin who has been living with me and the dogs observed that when I went to work, Lucky would sit by the door almost all day awaiting my return. When I went to take a shower, Lucky, and only Lucky, always waited outside the door.
Luck was very protective of me and my cousin. When I traveled, every night before my cousin went to bed she would take Luck, Nikita, and Suzie Q. out to the front yard to "do their business." On their way back, while the other two would walk in front of my cousin, he would bring up the rear, following my cousin all the way to her bedroom to make sure she was all right. A conscientious young dog, he never ever peed in the house unless he had no choice. Loving to drink water all day long, he would fill his bladder and awaken me in the middle of the night. Rising from a dead sleep, I would find him standing over me, knowing he would not budge until I acquiesced to take him out. Luck suffered from a mysterious condition veterinarians were unable to diagnose: He would go into seizures when overheated and exhausted. When he felt a seizure coming on, he would run to me for protection, at which time I would hold on to him tightly and he would seize for a few seconds, then be up and running again in short order, with no apparent injury.
Lucky constantly wanted to run. When he was a pup, I had to constantly throw toys across my study into the dining room to keep him entertained. He would bring the toy back to me and wait for me to throw it again, to the point that my arms would ache. He loved to run along the back fence and along the gate when people, especially bicyclists, passed by our house. He would do this for hours on end, nearly to the point of collapse. Luck also had some strange habits like getting between my legs while I walked and barking at full volume.. He did these until he fell seriously ill a few weeks ago.
Besides his middle-of-the-night urinary emergencies and his occasional seizures, Lucky demanded one other special thing of me: belly rubs as often as possible. He was not shy about asking, sometimes begging by licking my face if merely rolling on his back failed to grab my attention. If I failed to administer a thorough belly rub for at least ten minutes at bedtime, he would remain by my side until I complied. Even during car rides, occupying the front passenger seat, Luck would sit in front and pull my hands towards him so I could do my duty. I salute Lucky, and I honor him. And thanks to him, Nikita and all of the rescues that have enriched my life, I never forget that every day in the United States thousands of innocent and healthy dogs and cats are killed for no reason except that they are not wanted by us humans, and many throughout the world are killed, beaten, and starved every day. They made me realize that millions of sentient beings all over the world are killed for meat or for their skins, millions more are tortured and abused for entertainment, in the name of science, money, and other human purposes and billions of nonhuman animals and their would-be descendants have lost their homes to make way for human civilization.
The dogs' constant presence has helped me realize that nonhuman animals constitute nations unto themselves and are co-travelers on life pathways, no less important than us humans. Thanks to them I have joined the growing number of compassionate human beings who are saying NO to the cruelty we human beings visit on nonhuman beings and on each other. The profound impact my dogs have had on me, especially Lucky and Nikita, cannot be quantified. Their contribution to making me a better person is immeasurable. They saved my life, my soul, and they have made me into who I am today, a simple human being striving to do his utmost to help those who have been relegated to the margins, to help those sentient beings both two legged and four legged who are hungry, sick, unwanted and despised. For that I am indebted to them for all eternity. For all of the wisdom they have imparted to me, I am eternally grateful.Rest in peace, my Little Boy. Your troubles are over.Run free, my friend Luck, I love you deeply and forever.Anteneh Roba, M.D.

It's usually the launch announcement of a big-ticket mobile phone worth a few hundred bucks that gets the internet melting. Many users help social networking channels register impressive activity numbers by posting updates about their newest possession, while others lash out desperate sighs on the same social channels about being unable to procure the device on the first day of its public launch.
This time around, though, the digital world has gone mental about a car that fits perfectly in the setting — the Tesla Model 3. Usually when a new Ferrari or a Pagani model come along that the world's been dreaming about, the online buzz that peaks out overworking the servers. That's the global impact such high-profile and exclusive cars have. But the last time around a $35,000 (approximately Rs 23 lakh in Indian money) car became all the rage was… well, it's hard to think of such a car.
Who'd have imagined an all-electric family car made by a technology company would become such a big sensation that it'd end up selling in excess of 250,000 units in barely a couple of days since its launch?
The Model 3 is Tesla's 'car for the masses' attempt after putting out two high-priced luxury offerings — the Model S and Model X — in the market. On offer to be reserved for as low as $1000, the Model 3 flaunts a driving range of 215 miles (346Km) and can do a naught to 60mph (96.5Km/h).
Elon Musk has been working on the Gigafactory — a facility for producing lithium-ion batteries — and a popular model like the Model 3 that can generate big sales numbers is crucial for its optimal working. The Gigafactory is going to be in operation by 2017.
There's a very interesting trivia that some might not know here. Elon Musk actually wanted to call what the world knows as Model 3, as Model E. That would've spelt out 'SEX' arranging the three models names in order — Model S, Model E, Model X. But, Ford did not give up its trademark on Model E, and that's why Model E became Model 3.
Some pundits believe that people are queuing over for the Model E and inflating its numbers because the US government gives out a $7,500 tax credit for buying an electric car when a manufacturer crosses a sales figure of 200,000 vehicles. If reports are to be believed, Tesla has a stock of around 110,000 units of the Model 3 ready for shipment, but to satisfy the order list that's exceeded 200,000, the company might take up to 20 months for the production to be ramped up to cater to piling demand.

Social responsibility
Social responsibility
The mentality in industrialized countries: "I am fine, I do not care climate or environmental problems in the world" is very popular.
If you invest in green energy then you will spare money long-term. This money should be invested in infrastructure projects in development countries and in environmental projects.
Flash flood and extreme weather situations appear more and more in the last years.
We have the responsibility to care climate problems in the world.
If WE do not rescue our planet, Who will do it ?

Tuesday 30th August 2016
It was a lovely morning this morning, and as the tides were about right I took the dogs down to Lychett Bay for their walk. I wondered whether to park in the car park by the rugby ground for a change, but decided against it, which, as it turned out, was a good thing. So we parked near the viewpoint as usual and cut across the edge of the rugby pitches to Turlin Moor Rec. This was taken just as we were leaving the rugby pitch…
…and this was taken just after we'd walked through the gap in the trees.
Lychett Bay, itself, looked pretty stunning.
We walked along by the reed beds to the little culvert where Max likes to get in the water (the banks are too steep for Jez now), but just before he headed in there I took this photo of him to show how bad his back legs are at times now.
Poor Jez was getting a bit hot by this stage and we had to walk all the way down to the bird hide before we could get to the little beach where she can get into the water.
Here's Jez making ripples in the still waters in the Bay.
And here she is heading back to me.
Of course, Max just wanted me to throw a cone for him.
And just to make you envious, here is my view from the little patch of sand I've called a beach (it's only about 3 foot wide!).
After that we walked on around Turlin Moor Rec and then went back to the rugby patches, where Max had a good roll.
And then the dogs disgraced themselves. I was walking back to where we had parked by Jez must have heard noises and headed for the car park by the rugby club (where I'd thought about parking). Max, of course, followed. I soon found out why – there was a travellers' temporary camp there, as usual strewn with rubbish and who knows what. Do you think I could get the dogs back. Eventually I got Jez on the lead, but Max was a nightmare. Once I'd got them back they got a good talking to and I kept them on the lead most of the way back to the car.
A year ago today
I messed up again with my last post and posted a photo from a year ago today up at the top of Upton Heath. Anyway, here's Max in the same pond on the same day.

My work will be featured on a new show in the UK airing on Sky One called oops tv. Here's the show description:
"OOPS TV is a brand new comedy entertainment show for Sky One. Voiced by Justin Lee Collins, it takes a look at the best TV out-takes, home videos, CCTV shockers, sporting bloopers and YouTube shenanigans from all over the world. From newsreader nightmares to bungling burglars, wedding woes to the world's funniest pets, if someone somewhere has done something stupid, and someone else has been there to film it, and someone here from the legal department has said we can put it in the show, then we'll put it in the show."
This sounds like youtube for people without the internet. Tune in Friday February 20th at 6:30 pm. or just watch this:

The Child Abuse Interdisciplinary Team Of Greater Waterbury (CAIT)
The Child Abuse Interdisciplinary Team (CAIT) is a group of professionals working together to investigate and prosecute cases where child sexual abuse or serious physical abuse is alleged or suspected. Our team-oriented approach coordinates the efforts of all professionals involved in the investigation and prosecution process of child abuse, including but not limited to, the police, DCF, prosecutors, treatment providers and medical professionals. When additional services are required, contacts are made with appropriate providers and programs.
CAIT is funded by the Department of Children and Families and the National Children's Alliance. CAIT is recognized as an accredited Children's Advocacy Center (CAC). All forensic interviews and medical examinations are conducted free of charge.
The CAIT Investigation Process
After DCF or the Police make a referral to CAIT, the Coordinator initiates the appropriate actions, which may include some or all of the following:
Forensic Evaluation
Children may be interviewed by a trained forensic interview specialist at Waterbury Youth Services. The interview
is videotaped to reduce the number of interviews to which a child is subjected.
Medical Evaluation
A physical examination may be conducted by a licensed medical practitioner trained in forensic medical examinations.
Family Services
The child and family will be provided with information and services pertinent to counseling during and after the investigative process.
Case Coordination
The case will be tracked to ensure that the child is protected and the family has access to appropriate services.
* It should be noted that not all cases will result in an arrest or in prosecution.
Benefits Of Taking A Team Approach To Child Abuse
The trauma from multiple interviews experienced by the child is reduced through the CAIT process.
• Ensures that appropriate safety measures are taken to protect the child.
• Children receive prompt mental health and medical treatment that is tailored to their specific needs and family situations.
• More caregivers are empowered to protect their children.
• More offenders are held accountable.
• Professionals gain a better understanding and respect for each other's roles and expertise.
• More effective decisions are made by sharing professional knowledge and expertise.
• The decision to prosecute is based on input from the child and family, as well as other CAIT team members.
• Allegations of abuse are more thoroughly investigated.
• Cases are more quickly addressed and are less likely to "fall through the cracks" in the system.
CAIT Membership
CAIT consists of the following professionals:
Prosecutor, State's Attorney's Office - To prosecute adult criminal violators.
Juvenile Prosecutor's Office - To prosecute juvenile criminal violators with the primary goal of rehabilitating the youth.
Department of Children and Families - To assure that the child is protected.
DCF Attorney - To advise DCF investigators of appropriate legal action and to educate the team on DCF policies and procedures.
Local Police Departments - To investigate possible criminal violations.
Medical Personnel - To provide forensic medical exams, diagnosis and treatment of abused or neglected children.
Coordinator - To organize and facilitate team meetings and trainings, and ensure that the team is meeting the standards for Connecticut Multidisciplinary Teams.
Investigative Interviewer - To conduct videotaped interviews of children using a standardized forensic interviewing format.
Safe Haven - To provide supportive counseling, education and referrals for the child and the parent.
Mental Health Professionals - To provide information on the treatment of abused/neglected children and therapeutic services where indicated.

Fashion Rings Easy tips for keeping your back healthy Sweaters Laundry & Drying Racks Results after four years of follow-up showed that in general, otherwise healthy people who have surgery for one of these three conditions are likely to fare better than those who receive non-operative care. However, the results also indicated that people who are reluctant to have surgery may also recover with non-operative treatments if their conditions are not progressing and their pain is tolerable, and importantly, delaying or avoiding surgery did not cause additional damage in most cases. Researchers are continuing to track SPORT patient cohorts over a nine-year follow-up period to assess longer term treatment results and cost effectiveness across treatment options. In the interest of improving surgical techniques, NIH also is funding research on factors that contribute to the success or failure of artificial disc replacement surgery, including studies to compare discs on the market for significant differences in their durability rates over time.

When extreme pain is involved, low doses of drugs may be administered by catheter directly into the spinal cord. The success of a nerve block approach depends on the ability of a practitioner to locate and inject precisely the correct nerve. Chronic use of steroid injections may lead to increased functional impairment.

Maybe this: "It is extremely difficult to alter the potentially disabling belief among the lay public that low back pain has a structural mechanical cause. An important reason for this is that this belief continues to be regularly reinforced by the conditions of care of a range of 'hands-on' providers, for whom idiosyncratic variations of that view are fundamental to their professional existence."

However, move around as soon as you are able, and get back into normal activities as soon as you can. As a rule, don't do anything that causes a lot of pain. However, you will have to accept some discomfort when you are trying to keep active. Setting a new goal each day may be a good idea. For example, walking around the house on one day, a walk to the shops the next, etc.

"What was once a tiny seed of belief for me has grown into the tree of life, so if your faith is a little tested in this or any season, I invite you to lean on mine."Those are the words that I left Conference with yesterday. Amen Elder Holland. I believe.
|Elder Jeffery R. Holland
Hello all!This week again, went by super quick. Topped off by an amazing General Conference. Wouldn't you all agree? I think for me, Elder Holland was my personal favorite. I find myself doubting whether I can do this or not, whether I can press forward and really do what I need to do. But I heard what I needed to hear from him. I have everything I need to help others come closer to Him and His Son. I want others to feel what we as members feel everyday. Lord, I believe that through You, I can do anything. I can climb the biggest mountains, I can swim the largest seas, I can find people to bring your message to. I can teach with power enough to affirm to their souls that this is the right path for them. Lord, I believe.This week though, Elder Newton and I have been working on some Less Active members. The C Family. They were the first members in this whole area. So in reality, they are the pioneers of this area. They haven't been to church in who knows how long. All I know is they are less active.. But! Elder Newton and I have visited them a ton this week, and we have gotten to be pretty close with them. Its really great. They came to General Conference too. They invited us over Thursday for dinner (this coming one) as well! Making progress with them. The mom of them, is like 60 years old. She reminds me so much of Nana its insane. Height, hair, and the way she talks to me. Even though it is in a different language.. Haha. But still. I see and talk to her, and I think NANA (yes nana I miss you and papa!).As far as investigators go, Brother M has not been to church in 5 weeks. He tells us that he wants to come, and we keep inviting him, but he doesn't show up. Even with his ALREADY MEMBER WIFE. Hard to explain. I flat out asked him last week "Brother, do you have the desire to be baptized into this church?" And he responded with a resounding "yes elder, I really do." Then I told him in the most loving way that he needs to come to church.. Its really the only way. I hope he follows through this upcoming week. L & M are on our spot light to be invited to be baptized this week. They read every single night from the Book of Mormon, together! I mean come on... Can you just say they are prepared or what??? They totally are. Then lastly, J. She is a part member, and has the date of June 15. Only because she lives so far away and we can only teach her one time a week (Presidents orders). But she has come to church 4 weeks straight. She is ready and just needs to be taught all the lessons. I'll update you all on that as time goes on..That is all I have for this week. But, this week we have exchanges with Sipalay, and Cauayan. Two straight days of fun! That is next weeks email though. I love you all so much. Thank you all for everything that you do for me. Until next week!
Love From The Philippines!-Elder Garner

JCHS theater/health students stage mock wreck for impaired driving lesson before prom
In a move to warn about the dangers of impaired or distracted driving, students are producing a PSA at James Clemens to drive home that point.
The simulation and filming took place Tuesday on the front lawn of the school with the help of the Madison police and fire departments.
Mangled cars were placed in a head-on collision configuration to simulate an accident. JCHS advanced drama students posed as occupants, all bloodied and injured.
The wounds were the work of drama students using fake blood and scar makeup.
The activity provided a great learning component as well.
Students from the Health Science Internship class were first responder and medical personnel getting exposure to a trauma scene. Theater students also acted as parents, bystanders and reporters arriving at the scene.
Video work for the PSA was done by JetsPress, the school's video production/communications class. The PSA was aired school-wide on Friday, the day before prom, to give students something to think about.

5 Signs That You Should Replace Your Commercial Boiler
A commercial boiler has always been an important part of schools, businesses and other organizations to make sure that the temperature of their indoor premises does not get very cold. It is used for the purpose of comfort heating, keeping temperatures just warm enough indoors.
Unfortunately, many of these facility managers cannot identify when it is the right time to replace their commercial boilers. Here are 5 ways that can help you decide when your boiler is up for replacement.
Remember, no boiler can last forever. While condensing boilers can last for as many as fifteen years, cast iron boilers, which are less energy efficient, may last longer. But, what is common is that all commercial boilers have a life span. So it is better you take action before it is too late. If you do not want your commercial boiler to completely shut down, identify when it is the correct time to get it replaced.
If you start noticing a rise in your utility costs, it may mean that your commercial boilers are not operating at full capacity. You must be aware of how high your bills go each month, so if you experience unusual hikes in these, it is most likely that your commercial boilers are underperforming. Just like every machine as it ages, it cannot perform as well as it used to do earlier. So, little repairs and maintenance of your boilers is always an option. But if these repair costs are becoming a routine, you better get you commercial boilers replaced.
It is pretty normal for commercial boilers to create noises. However, if you are getting to hear loud bangs and clanging and whistles, I can assure you that your boiler is asking for a repair. These are usually signs of a blockage, leak or even pressure issues. It is better you get it checked out by a trained professional who may be able to tell you whether the repair would work or you would have to get your commercial boiler replaced.
If you find out that your commercial boiler is leaking or needing extra make up water, it is an issue that you must address as soon as possible. These leaks may prove to be costly in the long run, so the sooner they are addressed, the better it is. Most of the times, these can be fixed through repairs and you may not need a complete replacement.
If you feel different temperatures in different areas of your premises, your commercial boiler definitely has an issue that needs to be resolved. If it is heating some areas more than the rest, it is better you call a technician who can check and advise if your commercial boilers need to be replaced.
So, if you are looking for a repair or replacement of your commercial boiler, contact us.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of American Medical Systems
So what: The all-cash deal values American Medical at $30 per share and represents a 34% premium to its Friday closing price. Endo is making the move to reduce its reliance on best-selling pain patch Lidoderm, and judging from the stock's 5% pop, investors agree wholeheartedly with the strategy.
Now what: While American Medical shares are probably all popped out, Endo might be worth a closer look. 2011 revenue for the combined company will be about $3 billion, with Endo expecting cost savings of at least $50 million by 2013. Mr. Market's main concern with Endo has always been the dominance of Lidoderm in its portfolio, but with the company having just "blunted that with diversification," as CEO Dave Holveck put it, the stock should continue to get a lift.
