Lynne Twist: One-Day Soul of Money Workshop
Friday, March 8, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
The Soul of Money:
Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Life
For most of us anxiety and confused feelings about money are an obstacle to personal and organizational success. A dysfunctional relationship with money can hold us back from achieving our highest potential and realizing our loftiest goals.
This workshop will transform your relationship with money by providing you with an opportunity to deeply explore how your highest aspirations can be supported and nurtured by money, rather than subverted by the constant anxiety and quest for money that is the product of our consumer culture.
By looking closely at your own financial "story" and the ways your beliefs about money have limited and constricted your life, you are empowered to re-conceptualize money as a tool to realize your best Self.
As a result of this workshop, you will:
- Experience a new sense of freedom and joy in your relationship with money
- Discover wholesome ways to earn, save, spend, invest and contribute
- Appreciate the power and presence of your existing resources
- Come to know your own sufficiency and natural prosperity
Please join us! We look forward to traveling this path together.
For more information or questions, please contact email@example.com
A limited number of need-based scholarships are available. Please contact Katiyana Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more.

John Lennon's school detention card to be auctioned off
Detention report cards from John Lennon's troubled school years are set to go under the hammer later this month (Nov13). The late Beatles legend attended the Quarry Bank High School for Boys in his native Liverpool, England in the 1950s, but documents show he struggled with academia.
Lennon was held back by teachers after school hours for continual disruptive behaviour, with detentions being doled out for "fighting in class" and "sabotage".
He was even handed three detentions in one day, with other reasons for the punishment ranging from being a "class clown" to having "just no interest (in school work) whatsoever".
The two sheets, which date back to 1955 and were saved from a mass book burning at the school in the 1970s, will go up for sale on TrackAuction.com from 22 November (13).
Lennon's bad reputation at school obviously didn't hold him back – he met songwriting partner Sir Paul McCartney in 1957 and they went on to create some of the most iconic tracks of the 20th Century.

As always, home team in CAPS.
New York Giants 1 1/2 CAROLINA
This should be a really good Thursday Night game. The Giants had a stunning comeback last week, while Carolina had an impressive win against New Orleans. I think both teams are pretty good. The Giants don't seem to show up every week though. Having only a couple of days of rest might not be enough for them here. I like Carolina.
Panthers 26-21
San Francisco 7 Minnesota
The 49ers have looked really good, while Minnesota has been very weak. That's pretty much all anybody needs to know.
49ers 31-10
Buffalo 2 1/2 CLEVELAND
The Bills turned it around last week, while Cleveland continues their poor play. It is going to be a long season in Cleveland. May be not in Buffalo, as some are thinking playoffs. May be if eight teams in each conference qualified.
Bills 26-13
CHICAGO 7 St. Louis Rams
Both teams are 1-1, but the Bears are at least a pretty decent team. The Rams really are not. The Bears have had an extra couple of days to rest, but I don't think they would have had too many issues with St. Louis anyway.
Bears 24-14
INDIANAPOLIS 3 Jacksonville
Look out for the Colts, who likely will be 2-1 after this week. Don't look very far though. Andrew Luck has looked pretty good but that is about it. The Jaguars will be fighting for the number one draft pick next year. Lucky for Indianapolis they play the Jaguars twice a year.
Colts 23-17
Philadelphia 4 ARIZONA
Both teams are 2-0, but Michael Vick needs to start playing better. The Cardinals were very impressive last week, and they are definitely better than I thought. If they only had a quarterback. I think last week's win is going to give them a lot of momentum. I like Arizona here. Even though the Eagles had a nice win last week I am still not impressed.
Cardinals 20-17
Detroit 3 1/2 Tennessee
The Lions haven't been that impressive so far, and they need to get rolling. The Titans have not looked good at all. They obviously do not want to start 0-3, but I think that is what is going to happen. I can't see Tennessee winning here.
Lions 27-23
SAN DIEGO 3 Atlanta
Both teams are 2-0, but the Falcons have looked better getting to that record. The Chargers have played nobody, though Atlanta hasn't exactly played the cream of the crop. They have played better though. I don't think either team is great, but the Chargers really do nothing for me this year. I'll take Atlanta here.
Falcons 26-24
Houston 2 Denver
The Texans have looked great, but considering their opponents so far they should. I think Denver is overrated. Peyton Maning looked absolutely dreadful last week for most of the game. This should be Houston's first real test. Last year they lost games they should have won. They can't afford to do that this week, or this year. I'll take the Texans.
Texans 28-20
Washington 3 1/2 Cincinnati
Both teams are 1-1, but it looks like it might be the same old Redskins team. One never knows which team is going to show up. The Bengals are the poster children for mediocrity. I'll take the Redskins, just by being at home. It looks like Robert Griffin III will be very fun to watch.
Redskins 23-16
Pittsburgh 4 OAKLAND
The Steelers looked much better last week, but golly did the Raiders look bad again. They could be one of the worst teams in the league this year. The Steelers are likely in the playoffs, but I don't know what they will have left come season's end. I don't see any problems for Pittsburgh this week.
Steelers 29-17
New York Jets 3 Miami
The Jets took a step back last week, while Miami looked like world beaters against Oakland. Don't get too excited about the Dolphins though. May be get excited about the Jets, but there are still a lot of games to play. The Jets should be able to win here, and cover.
Jets 24-16
DALLAS 7 Tampa Bay
The Cowboys got croaked last week after looking so good in week one. The Bucs somehow blew a huge lead against the Giants. We are in week three and both teams already have a common opponent. I just can't see Dallas losing at home. They are inconsistent, so that means Tony Romo is due for a pretty good game.
Cowboys 27-17
Green Bay 3 SEATTLE
When one initially looked at this game on the schedule, it looked like a blow out for the Packers. May be not anymore after last week's performance by the Seahawks. I still don't think they are that good though. The Packers, though, are very good. I don't see Seattle repeating last week's performance. I'll take Green Bay.
Packers 24-20
Game of the Week
BALTIMORE 3 New England
I would be willing to bet that Baltimore remembers last year's AFC Championship. They are still a very good team, as are the Patriots. I think New England got exposed a little bit last week. Losing Aaron Hernandez for a few weeks is huge, and I don't think Kellen Winslow is the answer. Nor is Deion Branch. The Patriots seem to bounce back from losses, but it will be much tougher against the Ravens in Baltimore. I like the Ravens here.
Ravens 26-17
Stinker of the Week
NEW ORLEANS 7 1/2 Kansas City
I had no choice but to put the Saints in the Stinker. They are 0-2 and just simply are not the same team as in year's past. The Chiefs are also 0-2 and have looked pretty bad. I said last week that I couldn't see the Saints starting the season 0-2. Now I can't see them starting 0-3.
Saints 41-23
Record For Week Two: 8-6-2 ( 9-7 without the spread )
Record Through Week Two: 15-15-2 ( 19-13 without the spread )
Game of Week Record: 1-1
Stinker of Week Record: 1-1

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer
MARYSVILLE — Glennis Durham is known for taking care of people, but don't try to congratulate her on a lifetime of service.
"It's not so much a matter of me giving, but more that the Lord put me in the right place at the right time," she says frequently.
Over the years, Durham, 73, has cared for at least 40 foster children. Two of those foster kids are her now-adopted son, Elias, 12, and daughter, Olivia, 10, who she's raised from infancy. Her oldest five children were reared in Durham's home state of Virginia. She also helped raise some of her 12 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. In addition, she counts a son's friend, a man of 50, as her third adopted child.
"That's a lot of kids, isn't it?" Her eyes twinkle as she straightens her dress and her French-braided white hair.
Durham now cares for her 48-year-old daughter, Virginia Oien, who is fighting breast cancer. They share a two-bedroom home in Marysville. The women sleep on the couch or the recliner so that the Durhams' children and Oien's daughter can have beds.
Soon, Durham plans to move into a new 1,100-square-foot house provided by Habitat for Humanity of Snohomish County.
Like all Habitat home owners, Durham helped build the house, logging 500 hours of "sweat equity" as a down payment, said Mary Fears, executive director of Habitat in Everett.
"Glennis is very deserving," Fears said.
On April 20, an open house celebrated the completion of Durham's home. More than 100 people showed up for the party at her cute, blue house.
"The next day at church, I had people coming up to me telling me how nice the party was," Durham said. "I asked them, 'Were you there?' It had been such an overwhelming event that I didn't even see all the people."
The view from her new house is of the valley of farmland between 67th Avenue and Highway 9 in northeast Marysville. It reminds her of home in Virginia.
One of 10 children, Durham remembers her father working in the coal mines to buy land for her grandfather, who had been a sharecropper.
"Then he worked to buy our land and build our house," Durham said. "I am so thankful for my new house, but I think my favorite place was the one my daddy built."
Durham moved to Washington in 1989. One of her sons was serving overseas in the Navy and his wife asked Durham to come help with their children.
"My daughter-in-law needed to finish graduate school, so I came West," she said. "I was needed."
Durham is waiting for her concrete driveway and walkway to be poured before she moves to the new house.
She has her rose garden planned out. She'll put her rocker on the front porch and a porch swing on the back. Her long, antique dining room table will dominate the great room, which includes the kitchen and living area.
"The house is such a blessing for me," Durham said. "It's like a dream. I can't even begin to say thank you to everybody."
Her children are excited to move in, too. They'll have their own bedrooms.
"Olivia and Elias are my little blessings. My pride and joy," Durham said. "In the case of each, I was asked to take them just for the night soon after they were born. I'm a little crazy, but of course I was going to do it. I would not trade my kids for the whole world. They are good kids. I am very strict with them and I have always taught all my children to care about other people."
With that thought, Durham gazes around the empty house and talks about all the young people who volunteered their time to help build it.
"It's just so amazing all the people who worked on this house," she said. "And it's so nice to say I walked across my own doorsill for the first time. Having a house gives you a sense of security. And it's something I can leave for my kids."
The house will be a gathering place, said Habitat's Bruce Richards, one of three project managers on Durham's house.
"Glennis is the matriarch of a big family," he said. "She is very special."
Durham hopes her new home is a place her daughter, Virginia, and her son, Victor, who lives in Lynnwood, and their families will visit often.
"I want everybody to visit," Durham said. "My door is always open."

About Habitat
Habitat homeowners pay a no-interest mortgage carried by Habitat, which has built 20 homes in Snohomish County and repaired 22 more. Habitat's out-of-pocket costs for the Durham house were $115,000. Whirlpool donates appliances, Ferguson Enterprises gives the toilets. Other donations came from Yale Locks, Hunter Douglas Blinds, Square D Electrical, Larson Storm Doors, Ramaeu Landscaping and Owens Corning roofs. Volunteers donated 6,200 hours to build the house with the help of a HUD grant administered by Snohomish County. All the other funding is from faith groups, community organizations, corporations and individuals. Project Linus also gave blankets to the Durham family. More info: www.habitatsnohomish.org.

Most fertile when?
Hi there,
I have just read a reply post from a lovely lady who has explained when a lady is most fertile. If she is correct in saying what she has said, then i have it all wrong! Which doesnt surprise me... So I always thought that your ovulation date started exactly half way through your cycle. So if your cycle is 28 days, then your ovulation starts on day 14. My cycle is actually 36 days so I thought my ovulation date would be day 18. What I have read is that its always day 14? So if my cycle is 36 days, 14 days into it would be my ovulation and then I would have another 22 days until my next period. Can someone confirm or clarify?
Thank you!

Hi Tahnee,
Figuring out the fertile window can be difficult until you know exactly what to look for.
If a woman has a good luteal phase (this is the 2nd half of her cycle) then she will ovulate about 14 days before the first day of her next period. If she has a short luteal phase, she may ovulate 10 days before her next period.
If your cycle is 36 days long, and you have a good "normal" luteal phase of 14 days, then you would be ovulating around day 22 in your cycle. If you are ovulating on day 22 of your cycle, then most likely the egg has aged too long before ovulation, and is not capable of being fertilized.
If you have a short luteal phase (let's say only 10 days instead of 14 days) then you might ovulate on day 26 of your cycle and start bleeding 10 days later. The problem with a short luteal phase is that if you do conceive, there's not enough time for the embryo to implant well before the lining of the uterus is shed (before your period starts). In this case, many women may actually conceive but have a very early miscarriage before they even realize they were pregnant.
The thing that concerns me most and that I would address first is the long, 36 day cycle. Would really like to see that become closer to 30 days and there are some things you can do help balance hormones so that you have a good follicular phase (the first half of your cycle, before ovulation) and so that you have a good luteal phase. If the follicular phase is too short, the egg doesn't have enough time to develop to a point where it can be fertilized before it is released. If this phase is too long, the egg takes too long to develop and becomes "old" before it is released.
Sometimes the egg won't be released at all, and the follicle which holds the egg during development will become a cyst on the ovary. If you get too many cysts, it makes it harder for a follicle to rupture and ovulation can't occur.
Do you know for sure if you are ovulating each month? If so, how are you confirming this?
Warm Regards,

Thank You Kate!
WOW. Thank you Kate! You have explained this so well!
The thing is my cycle has always been 28-30 days - always. It only changed to 36 days about 3 months ago. Noting I have moved to the other side of the country (away from my family), changed careers and got married so I have been thinking stress has had alot to do with this.
To answer your question, yes and no. About 2 years ago I started getting some pains (not really bad pains) but just a few aches here and there in the middle of my cycle. I have read that this is a sign of ovulation. So I do get these pains but certainly not every month. My mum has also told me that another sign of ovulation is sticky discharge and I have noticed that as well, possibly not every month but yes I do get that. I have never thought to think about the dates of when these things happen until now as were trying for a baby. Are these signs correct in saying im ovulating? Are there any other signs of ovulation that I can look out for?
All in all im confident my cycle will go back to normal (28-30 days) soon now that im back to some sort of normality.
Thank you so much for replying and hope to hear from you again... :-)
Kind Regards, Tahnee

Hi Tahnee,
It sounds like you've made a lot of big changes in the past few months. Stress can impact your body in many ways, so it could be contributing to the change in your cycle.
However, I would want to rule out the possibility that your cycles were artificially manipulated to be 28 days, by the hormonal birth control pills you were taking.
Often times a doctor will put a woman on birth control pills to regulate her cycle - but she won't be able to get pregnant if she's on these pills. The problem happens when she stops taking her pills, and as the hormones are moved out of the body, her cycles will be a more accurate indication of what her fertility actually is.
Your mom was on the right track when she said that another sign of ovulation is discharge. However, it's not the "sticky" discharge you're looking for. It's the "wet and slippery" discharge that indicates ovulation will be soon. That discharge looks and feels like egg white.
We have an entire thread that is dedicated to helping you learn how to read your body's personal signs of fertility.
Another thing that's very helpful is to use an ovulation predictor test. With the ovulation predictor tests you start testing every day as soon as you see your mucus/discharge change or about 5 days before you think you're going to ovulate. Just remember to read the directions, and test in the afternoon, not in the morning (it's the opposite of what you do with a pregnancy test).
Let me know if you have any questions once you learn how to read your cervical mucus changes.
Warm Regards,

Nissan Pathfinder Models and Pathfinder History
The 1998-1999 Pathfinder only saw minor changes to different trim levels, with a major update to the interior and exterior styles taking place mid-99. It would crossover into 2000 basically unchanged. In 2001, a long awaited power upgrade was added: a 250 hp V6 engine was unveiled, making this SUV the punchiest in its class. A new GPS system was offered (in-dash), and the rear entertainment DVD system was introduced.
Stylish updates graced the 2002 Pathfinder, with a new front grille, an updated audio system, and some shuffling in the trims and addable packages. Optional satellite radio was added for the 2003 model year, with a new Vehicle Dynamic Control Package that merged Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), traction control and a tire pressure monitoring system into one feature. No changes were in store for 2004, with a brand new and redesigned model released in 2005 that featured an even more powerful V6 engine and the popular third-row seating. Minor changes to trims augmented 2006 with a new MP3 input jack and safety reverse feature being added for 2007.
In 2008, the Pathfinder would get a brand new 5.6-liter V8 engine, able to make 310 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. A redesigned gauge cluster and cup-holder with center stack display screen complemented the interior, with minor tweaks made to the interior and exterior styling. The Pathfinder would coast through 2009 and 2010 relatively unchanged, with a new 25th-anniversary Silver Edition released in 2011. From 2012-2013 only subtle changes were made, with the addition of the much anticipated Pathfinder Hybrid in 2014 to round out the fleet.

ectopic pregnancy
I have a friend who have had a miscarriage because of ectopic pregnancy.
So I'm gonna ask, What are the chances of the baby to survive during ectopic pregnancy? Is it something to be afraid of? Would all of the women with this kind of pregnancy should expect a miscarriage anytime?

Dear faithmanalon,
I'm so sorry to hear that your friend had an ectopic pregnancy.
An ectopic pregnancy is where the egg is fertilised in the fallopian tube and the pregnancy develops here. Unfortunately, because of this location, an ectopic pregnancy is never going to continue. It actually has serious potential health consequences for the woman and she often needs an emergency operation to remove the pregnancy (unless the ectopic pregnancy has been detected at an early stage - in this case medication can be used to remove the pregnancy).
Women with an ectopic pregnancy usually experience abdominal pain on one side and vaginal bleeding. These symptoms should be treated as an emergency situation.
Around 1 in 90 pregnancies will be an ectopic pregnancy. As explained above, this is different from a 'normal' miscarriage where the egg is fertilised in the womb but fails to develop past a certain stage. It is thought that around 1 in 5 pregnancies end in a miscarriage.
Please do not be afraid. Ectopic pregnancies are not common. Most pregnancies result in a healthy baby.
Please do post back with any further questions you have about this.
Warm wishes,

FTS Deputy Commissioner Self to Retire
News Release
U.S. General Services Administration
Tuesday, May 20, 2003
Contact: Mary Alice Johnson, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today that Charles Self, Deputy Commissioner at the Federal Technology Service (FTS) is retiring from government service in July 2003, ending a 34-year career of dedicated public service to the federal government.
"Charlie's commitment to excellence and dedication to GSA's FTS has contributed significantly to our ability to add real value to our government customers. His commitment to innovative acquisition strategies and solid business practices have been key drivers in FTS's success," said FTS Commissioner Sandra Bates. "I have enjoyed working with him and am confident that he will succeed in any endeavors he may choose to pursue outside government."
Self's government career began in the U.S. Air Force as a Lieutenant where he quickly rose to the rank of Captain and ultimately transitioned into civilian public service. He later moved to the Department of Veterans Affairs, before joining GSA's FTS in January 1986 to serve as Director of the Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM).
Under Self's leadership as Director of FEDSIM, the organization became the federal government's center of expertise for large-scale systems integration and acquisition projects. FTS tapped Self to serve as Assistant Commissioner for the Information Technology Service (ITS). Sales for the IT Solutions business line rose from $1 billion to over $4 billion during his tenure resulting in significant savings governmentwide.
Throughout his 10-year tenure leading ITS, Self increased FTS's suite of value added acquisition services to the government by developing and implementing a number of acquisition vehicles and programs including the FAST Program (a commodity based program that coupled the agility of small business with the reach of the Internet) and many Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) including Millennia, ANSWER, and Millennia-Lite.
Charles Self is largely responsible for the growth and success of the IT Solutions business line of FTS. His leadership in fee for service operations, early adoption of streamlined acquisition business processes, and constant attention to best value solutions for FTS's customers have fueled customer satisfaction rates and revenue growth that are the envy of many Fortune 100 companies.
"FTS and all the FTS associates will really miss him; he was liked by all," said Mary Whitley, FTS Assistant Commissioner for CRM and Sales.
This year, as Deputy Commissioner, he was instrumental in managing the Federal Technology Service (FTS)/Federal Supply Service (FSS) realignment ensuring improved services to GSA's many clients.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies, and services. GSA, comprised of 14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government-owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.

Q2 Profits Climb, Revenues Decline
NORTHFIELD, IL -- On Oct. 1, Kraft Foods Inc. will spin off of its North American grocery business, Kraft Foods Group Inc., from its snacks business, which will become Mondelez International Inc.
The maker of Oreo cookies and Maxwell House coffee also named the board members of the two future independent companies. As previously announced, Kraft chief executive Irene Rosenfeld will be chairman and chief executive of Mondelez International Inc. John Cahill will become executive chairman of Kraft Foods Group Inc. and Tony Vernon, currently executive vice-president and president of Kraft Foods North America, will be its chief executive.
The Northfield, IL, food giant also announced that Tracey Belcourt will join the company as executive vice-president of strategy in September. She will direct the strategy function and mergers and acquisitions for Mondelez following the spin-off. Belcourt has been a partner at Bain & Co. in Toronto since 1999.
The company recently named Kim Rucker will serve as general counsel of the future North American grocery company. | SEE STORY
Separately, Kraft reported that second quarter profits climbed 5% over the same period last year, helped by price increases, while revenues fell 4.3%.
For the second quarter, ended June 30, Kraft reported net income of $1 billion, or 58¢ a share, compared with $976 million, or 55¢ per share, for the year-ago quarter.
The food company said net revenues in the second quarter fell 4.3%, from $13.88 billion a year ago to $13.29 billion, due to unfavorable foreign currency translation and accounting calendar changes in the prior-year quarter.
Kraft Foods North America's quarterly net revenues grew 1.2% to $6.4 billion, with organic net revenue growth of 1.7% led by higher pricing across each business segment.
Kraft Foods Europe net revenues fell 14.8% to $3 billion year over year, with organic net revenue up 1.4%. Net revenues in developing markets declined 3.6% to $3.9 billion, while organic net revenue rose 7.6%, driven by a balance of higher pricing and volume growth.
The company confirmed its 2012 guidance of about 5% organic revenue growth and at least 9% for operating earnings.
Beginning Oct. 2, Kraft Foods Group and Mondelez International will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbols "KRFT" and "MDLZ."

The Implications of The Da Vinci Code: Part 2 of 3
Announcer:The 21st century has ushered in events and issues that cause us to ask, "Where is God in today's world?" In response, Dallas Theological Seminary presents DTS Dialogue - Issues of God and Culture: The Implications of The Da Vinci Code. Although considered fiction, Dan Brown's novel challenges orthodox Christianity in serious ways. Thanks for joining us as we discuss what all believers need to know about The Da Vinci Code, Part 2.
Dr. Mark Bailey:It's Brown's contention that those who followed him developed the doctrine of Jesus moving from the human Jesus to the divine Jesus over these four centuries. What biblical texts come to your men's minds in refuting this? What texts would you put on the table to say this is clearly a Biblical doctrine and not that had to wait five centuries to develop?
Dr. Darrell Bock:Well, I think the key thing here to, is particularly in making this argument in talking with people who may or may not share a high view of the Bible, I think it is important to say it this way. That our earliest Christian texts as a matter of history, as a matter of historical sources, affirm the divinity of Jesus Christ starting with the earliest texts that we possess. By that I mean the epistles of Paul starting with the book of First Corinthians in the 50s, has a statement, it is one of these doctrinal summaries I was talking about earlier, it is First Corrinthians 8:4-6 in which the point is made that although there are many gods around us looking at the polytheism of the Greco Roman world for us there is one God and there is the mention of the Father and his role in creation and the mention of Jesus Christ and his role in creation and for a Jewish person to attribute the work of creation to a figure who also is alongside and included in the mention of one God is to make a statement of deity. That's in the 50s. That's long before Nicea in 325.
A second book is Philippians. Here we have got a hymlic section in Philippians 2. Jesus empties himself because he doesn't see a deity a thing to be grasped even though he could remain there. He empties himself, takes on humanity. He is exalted back to the right hand of the Father and one day every man will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord and that language comes out of the book of Isaiah where it is describing the God of Israel and yet it is being applied to Jesus. In Colassians 1 we have another hymnic section where Jesus is both creator and redeemer. In Hebrews 1, that's in the 60s in Hebrews, which is also written in 60s, Jesus is said to be the very stamp of God's person. In John 1 written in the 90s, John 1:1 and John 14, "In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God the Word was God." And then it says, "the Word became flesh" in verse 14. That's in the 90s.
So our earliest Christian sources, this is very, very important, as a matter of history you don't have to mark these texts out as biblical, as a matter of history show that the earliest Christians were responding to Jesus' God or worshiping him. We even have this in extra biblical material, in non-Christian text, Pliny the Younger writes to Trajan emperor AD 117 he talks about observing in the worship services of Christians that hymns are sung to Jesus as if he is God. This is a non-Christian text it is not even a biblical text, that is affirming this. This is in Bithia, which is up in Turkey, long way from Israel in the early part of the second century. So there is a lot of evidence that shows that the belief that Jesus is divine comes very, very early on in the history of the church. In fact, it shows up as soon as we have text showing up.
There is one other important piece of evidence, however, and it is this. Paul writes in the fifties but we know that Paul was converted in the 30s. In fact, he was converted sometime within a year or two probably of the crucifixion of Jesus. That means that the autobiographical experience that he records for us in Galassians is actually reflective of an experience he had all the way back in the 30s. This takes us all the way back to the very period of the Apostles themselves right after these events happened and if we go one step back more into Jesus' testimony before the Jewish leadership which is recorded in the Gospels, we have Jesus himself saying "You will see me seated at the right hand of God coming at the clouds of heaven." That's a declaration of God's vindication of Jesus placing him at God's side. So the point here is that teaching exists in the early material of the Church because it goes back to Jesus himself.
The idea that Jesus was divine was already ancient history by the time of the Counsel of Nicea because it goes back to Jesus himself.
Mark:What are some of the statements from the Lord himself that would lead us? It comes to mind in John, Chapter 5 where Jesus said that the right of judgment has been given to him. That all judgment has been handed over to me by my Father so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the father for whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father than sent him. Jesus clearly was claiming equality with God but in fact Jews wanted to kill him because they saw him claiming equality with the miracle in John 5 at the pool of Bethesda that he made himself out equal with God. There is a lot of people who will show up on our doorsteps on a Saturday morning that would deny that Jesus is the Son of God but clearly there's claims all he way through the life of Christ as well as the passages Darrell that you just mentioned where a biblical doctrine of the deity of Christ as early as you mentioned recording what Jesus claimed and so it really comes down to the veracity not only of the Scriptures but also the testimony of Jesus himself.
Darrell:One of the difficulties in this discussion depending on how sophisticated the person is who you are interacting with on this material, for example, whether or not they have taken some of these classes at the university or not is whether or not they will be comfortable with the evidence that you will present from the Bible. Because, what they are being told in their university classes is that many of these gospel texts reflect the theology of, say, the period when John is written in the 90's rather than being a reflection of what Jesus actually said.
Now, there is a way to make a defense against that. The fact is, if the person is real sophisticated; they may say something like, well, that is from the Gospel of John. The Gospel of John is very direct about what Jesus says and it is not quite the same picture as you get in the synoptics. Because, the synoptics tend to do this more indirectly.
The way, or a way I think you would respond to this is; there are two ways to do it. One is to defend the integrity of John. The other way is to say well, let's take this more indirect material that you are wanting us to talk about and to show that it is even in that material.
It is a hard move to make as a Christian because you want to embrace the entirety of the Bible and be biblical about the presentation on the one hand; but, if the person is not valuing the evidence at that level; you are left in a practical position of them not being persuaded by what you are raising to them. So, if you can pick a text that more people might accept on a non-biblical basis, if I can say it that way, that ends up being more persuasive. That is why testimony from outside the Bible by Pliny the Younger is so important. No one can claim bias on the part of Pliny on behalf of Christians as he writes. That is why texts that are situated in the backdrop of Judaism as Jesus is encountering the high priests; in fact, the testimony that leads to his crucifixion is so important. Because, it comes right at the most important moment in Jesus' life. When everything is on the line; his life is on the line. Yet, he still makes this claim in that situation.
So, that is part of what goes on in some of the discussion if you are dealing with someone who comes out of a background where they have actually received instruction against the Bible. That is what they have received, instruction against the Bible. Then the questions is, how do you handle it when a situation comes up like that?
Mark:Mary Magdalene plays an important part in the book of Dan Brown. Why is it significant about how she is presented? And, is there any evidence to support those claims? Darrell, let me start with you, then, come back to Jeff for his comments.
Darrell:Well, the role Mary Magdalene plays in the novel is that she is portrayed as the wife of Jesus who has children. This is a secret in the plot that some people know. And, the belief is that if this secret gets out; that Jesus was married and had children that it would impinge against the belief of his deity.
The problem with that is two-fold. First, if Jesus were married, as a matter of hypothesis; because, we do not have any evidence anywhere; we do not have any text anywhere; and, we have lots of text, lots of text. We don't have any text anywhere that says Jesus was married to anybody. What we have, and what the novel writes, and these are the only two texts that even, where you can even make an inference for it that I am aware of are two gospels, one is the Gospel of Peter and the other, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, two of these extra-biblical second and third century gospels in which it is said, that "Jesus loved Mary more than he did the disciples." And, in one of them it suggests that Jesus kissed Mary in public; although, where, there is a blank in the manuscript at the point at which that is said. So, the inference is made, if he loved her more than the disciples; and, in one text he kissed her in public; then, he must be married to her. That is the sum total of the case. And, we are talking lots of materials.
I have a collection of texts from the first five centuries in my office. It is a very well known series, The Anti-Nicene, Niciene and Post-Nicene Fathers. It is a 37-volume, single-spaced, small font, what do I mean by small font? If you are over 40, you are wearing glasses to read it. It is double-columned, single-spaced. It is 37 volumes. It stretches across a whole shelf that runs across my wall! Out of all of those texts, we only have these two texts that could only infer it. The evidence is so weak, that John Domick Crossing who is not a conservative. He is a a well-known liberal Christian writer, when asked to write a piece, "Was Jesus Married?" for beliefnet.com used a proverb. And the proverb was, "If it walks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a camel." And, the point that he was making is that all the evidence tells us Jesus was single. Okay. But, we have got some people wanting to argue that he was married. And, I tell my classes that when you get a liberal and a conservative agreeing about the historical Jesus, it is probably true. [laughter].
Mark: Jeffrey, is there anything you would want to add?
Dr. Jeffrey Bingham:Well, of course the entire contribution of this discussion of Mary Magdalene in Dan Brown's book raises the entire social question and the entire canonical question. And, that is, that this material wants to, Dan Brown wants to set forth this material in order to make something like this claim: You really need to pay more attention to the Gnostic gospels. You need to pay more attention to this collection of books about which we are discussing, other than those which you find in your Bible because they give us secret information about Jesus' marital status which your Bible does not give you. In addition, they give you a insight into the important role that women had in the church and the important place in which women were held in the early church by these other Gnostic communities which makes them a much more socially sensitive community than Christian orthodoxy.
Dan Brown wants to kind of suggest through what he says and what he does not say that the orthodox community did not treat women with the same degree of respect or give them the same positions of spiritual contribution that they had in the Gnostic communities. So, the role that Mary Magdalene plays in the book, through what Brown says and does not say; is again another way of saying that these other gospels, these other books are just a better representation of the kind of values which 20th and 21st century people want to hold to.
The truth is that women had an extremely important role in the early church. Women were greatly respected in the early church. Women were frequently portrayed as those who were the first to testify about Jesus, frequently the first to glorify God. So, the New Testament scriptures in no way minimize; but rather emphasize the important role that women have within orthodox Christianity. You do not need to go to the Gnostic writings in order to find a favored position for the feminine in Christianity. Orthodoxy values the feminine just as much as it values the masculine.
Darrell:What is interesting here, is that if you actually look at this material, this Gnostic material for what it says about women; it is not that affirming. There is a wonderful text, well; maybe it is not so wonderful in Thomas 1:14 in which Peter wants to send Mary away because he argues that she is not worthy of kingdom life as a woman. Jesus replies to him and says this, this is saying in 1:14 in the gospel of Thomas, "I, Myself shall lead her in order to make her male so that she may become a living spirit resembling you males, for every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom."
Now, that is not a very feminine affirming text. The way people who like this gospel respond to it is to is in one of two ways. They argue, well, that was not in there; it was added on later. It was not an original part of Thomas, which is real convenient. Or, they argue this is spiritualized; it is really looking at the ultimate oneness that God is going to give to all people. But, the reply to that is; it is still affirming the oneness through the male prism. It does not help you. So, that is one text.
The second text that is important is the way the creation is portrayed in these texts. In the Gnostic creation story, some of the versions have Pistas or Pistas Sophia, who is portrayed as the divine feminine, a female, engaging in the creation because she did not consult her consort. She did not check with her mate. That is step one. Then she creates; and, she botches the job. It is a mess. So, the result is a flawed creation, a corrupt creation, a creation so corrupt it cannot be redeemed. Which means, that the reason we are in all of this mess is because of the divine feminine. So, if you are going to ask for the divine feminine from this material, you might want to ask what kind of divine feminine do you get. You do not get one that is respected. You get one that is denigrated. These are texts, generally speaking, that are not brought forward when this feminine emphasis is put out of this material. And, so, it represents an imbalance in this material.
Mark: It does not support the desire.
Darrell:It does not support the desire at all. It is being handled very selectively. Just like, for example, and, I did not mention this earlier; but, I should have. When we look at the Gnostic material with respect to Jesus; we do not have texts that present a human Jesus. We do not have any texts that present Jesus as a human figure that have been preserved for us. What we have are texts that make Jesus so divine; he cannot become human because he cannot take on the corrupt body. That is something a deity cannot do; so, he only appears to be human. Or, a substitute takes his place.
In some of these texts, when Jesus is being crucified, this is interesting, when Jesus is being crucified; he is in heaven laughing because a substitute has taken his place on the cross. And, they think they are really crucifying Him; and, He is really up in heaven and not suffering at all. Now, you could not get a more different picture of what the cross is than that picture you are getting in some of these Gnostic materials. So, you are not even getting a proper representation of what these materials actually teach in the material that is being presented in the public.
Mark: So, there is great selectivity, proof testing for convenience...
Darrell: Exactly.
Mark: And, and not a holistic teaching about what those texts teach.
Darrell: Exactly right.
Jeffrey:Right. It is important to realize this selective use of the material has been in academia for many, many years. Scholars have been studying these texts and writing about these texts in order to bring forward, and to emphasize certain social agendas, in order to emphasize certain theological agendas, in order to emphasize certain canonical agendas. They have been in the universities and in the scholarly books for many, many years.
What Dan Brown did, was simply to popularize something that scholars had been talking about. What has taken place here, now, is a popular selectivity which we have seen in academia for many, many years.
Darrell:This is actually a crossover novel. And, what it has done is put it out in the public sphere. Which means now that people in the church need to be prepared to interact with this and need to understand a little more of their church history in order to engage it. Because it is out there. It is not going away. These books are coming out regularly, almost once a month now. They are being popularized in documentaries. It is literally everywhere. So, the day when it was just confined to the ivory tower is now gone.
Mark: Hmm.
Darrell:And, so we are not left in a position of the people in the church having to prepare people to understand where its' Bible came from, what the early history of the church was, what the nature, the history of the understanding of the person of Christ is, those kinds of issues, in order to begin to address some of these issues. And, in some cases also, to be able to have a little bit of knowledge about what these extra-biblical materials say so that you are aware of the selectivity with which this material is being presented.

Tornados fall twice against MilliganFebruary 21, 2010
Brevard, N.C. - Martika Elmore pitched seven hitless innings and gave up no runs in the front half of the doubleheader. She struck out 16 on the day, but was handed the loss in extra innings as the Tornados fell 1-0 and then a suffered the loss in the second game as Brevard fell 6-1 against Milligan.
Brevard falls to 1-4 on the season while Milligan improves to 2-2.
Kristina Clayton drove in the only run for Brevard in the doubleheader, going one for five on the day.
Game 1: Milligan 1, Brevard 0
Box Score
Elmore allowed just two base runners, both reaching on walks, and struck out 13 of 24 batters.
Her counter, Sidney Burns, gave up three hits, struck out 6, and did not walk a batter.
Clayton, Brittany Jones, and Jennifer Gift accounted for the only Tornado hits.
The Buffaloes only hit, and run, of the game came in extra innings when pinch hitter Megan Heaton drove in pinch runner, Heather Vaccaro.
Vaccaro pinch ran for Melanie Strickler who was placed on second base to start the eighth. NCAA softball rules automatically place a runner on second in extra-innings.
In the bottom of the eighth, Kayla Dorsey attempted to sacrifice bunt the pinch runner, Kathleen Crady, from second to third, but hit into fielder's choice as Crady was tagged out, 1-5, at third.Becca Curlee then struck out, followed by a pop out by Brittany Jones to end the game, 1-0.
Game 2: Milligan 6, Brevard 1
Box Score
Brevard had five hits to Milligan's nine in the second game, while each team stranded four on base.
Elmore started and pitched 2.1 innings and gave up four runs, three of which were earned, on four hits. Liz Houser relieved her and pitched two innings, giving up two earned runs on three hits, before Gift came in to finish the remaining 2.2 innings, allowing two hits, while striking out two.
The Tornados scored their only run the third inning. Kayla Dorsey led off the inning singling to the left side of the infield, but was then called out going to second when Brittany Jones hit into a fielder's choice. Clayton then tripled to centerfield for Brevard's first triple of the year, driving in Jones.
Milligan's biggest inning came in the top of the third, as they scored three, which included a Melanie Strickler single that drove in one of her four RBI's of the game.
Brevard will return to action on Tuesday when North Greenville travels to Brevard for a doubleheader beginning at 2:00 p.m.

LONG BEACH — A man described by neighbors as a mentally disturbed hoarder was in custody Thursday after allegedly shooting a code enforcement inspector in the face and firing at police during a seven-hour standoff.
The incident began shortly before 8 a.m., when Long Beach code enforcement officials arrived at the suspect's home - on North John Avenue near 61 st Street in North Long Beach - with a cleaning crew to remove debris from the property, said Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell.
Code enforcement authorities asked for a police officer to accompany them as they served a warrant to deal with hoarding conditions inside and outside the home, McDonnell said.
No one made it inside the house, however, as the suspect opened fire from just inside his front door, striking the code enforcement inspector - who was on the porch - in the head, the chief said. However, the victim was in good condition Thursday and was expected to make a full recovery, McDonnell said.
"The bullet grazed the (victim) near the eye," McDonnell said.
As the patrol officer rushed the bleeding victim to a nearby hospital in his squad car, dozens of backup units flooded the area and the SWAT team was called in, the chief said.
Also on hand were San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County bomb squads.
What unfolded from that point was a tense waiting game interspersed with bursts of gunfire as the suspect, who was thought to be armed with a rifle equipped with a scope, took aim at officers at 11 a.m. and again at 2 p.m., blasting out the window of a city vehicle, the chief said.
"The suspect repeatedly fired rounds at our officers while asking our officers to shoot him," the chief said.
The last volley of gunfire occurred as Long Beach SWAT officers fired a mixture of tear gas and pepper spray into the home.
As they shot the gas cannisters into the house, the San Bernardino County bomb squad used its ballistic tactical vehicle, a high-tech armored tractor, to pull shrubbery off the the front of the home and to remove the front windows, bars and a security gate.
"That vehicle took three rounds as it approached the residence," the chief said, adding that the officer driving the unit wasn't hit.
Officers surrounding the small white, one-story house returned fire, but no one was hit by any of the rounds, said Sgt. Aaron Eaton, a Long Beach Police Department spokesman.
The suspect was taken into custody after he emerged from the home a short time later. He refused police orders to surrender and was taken down by a Long Beach Police Department K9 dog, Eaton said.
Police didn't release the suspect's name Thursday, but information from neighbors and property records indicated his name is Anthony Gorosme. According to property records, the home was last listed as owned by Teresa Gorosme, who neighbors said was the suspect's dead mother.
As the bushy-haired and shirtless Gorosme was led handcuffed to a patrol car, he shouted at a group of reporters and photographers, "Tell me you love me."
He was taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries caused by the dog before he was to be booked into the city jail, McDonnell said.
The suspect faces a charge of attempted murder and possible weapons violations, the chief added.
After the arrest, the chief spoke to media at the scene and thanked the outside law enforcement agencies that helped in the peaceful end to the standoff, as well as many other city departments, including the Long Beach Fire Department, the Long Beach Unified School District and the city's Public Works Department.
He also credited his officers with showing remarkable restraint throughout the lengthy ordeal and thanked residents in the area for their patience.
"We are very fortunate here," the chief said. "The outcome could have been much different, much more tragic."
The suspect, McDonnell said, was a source of numerous complaints for code violations and the city had tried to work with him for several years to reduce the blight in and around the property.
Several neighbors described Gorosme, who they all knew as Tony, as a nice man who struggled with mental issues. He was raised in the home since the age of 7 and was cared for by his mother until her death about a year ago, neighbors said.
Though Gorosme often appeared unkempt, he was very friendly and loved to talk to everyone, particularly children, they said.
Neighbor Theodore Guzman said the suspect's mental state seemed to worsen, as did the state of the property, after the death of his mother a year ago.
"Losing his mom was hard. He would tear up when he talked about her (and about) the city taking her things," said Guzman, who has lived in the area for more than 10 years.
Her death was followed by the loss of a stepsister a couple of months later, and his stepfather died about two months ago, said neighbor Tanya Michelle.
"He has no family left, he has nothing to lose," Michelle said as she stood with family and friends near 61 st Street and Rose Avenue waiting and watching the scene unfold.
It was only the day before that Gorosme was showing neighbors a letter from the city warning that action would be taken against the code violations on his property, she said.
"He made it very clear ... they were going to have to kill him," she said. "He said he would not let the police take him away."
Another neighbor, who lives kitty-corner to the suspect, said she was waiting for a friend to go to an exercise class and was warming up outside when she saw the code enforcement officials and cleaning crews arrive.
She waved at Gorosme and turned to stretch, she said, when the first set of shots rang out, prompting her and several city workers to dive for cover.
"He got off three shots," she said. "He was shouting 'Kill me, kill me.'"
She and other neighbors tried to talk to the suspect and called him several times, leaving long messages on his answering machine in the hope that he would pick up the phone. The line was disconnected by about 2 p.m., they said.
All of the neighbors said the home was stacked floor to ceiling with furniture and other items that belonged to the man's mother and other relatives, as well as trash. Debris also littered the outside of the house, including several cars, some of which didn't run.
Mailman Mickey Gan, who said he tried to help Tony clean his property more than once, described how the suspect used small, dark tunnels from the front door to various rooms in the house to move around.
"He was very lonely," Gan said. "Ever since his mom (died), he had a very hard time."

Some of you might remember LeafPing. It was free for quite some time and then I moved to a subscription model and lost most of my users.
The ones that stuck with it and were paying the $3.00/month were very happy with the service, which is good. Today I'm announcing that LeafPing is back and it's totally FREE.http://leafping.com
There's a brand new (responsive) dashboard with some great at-a-glance statistics. However the big selling point is that once you enter your phone number (US only, sorry) or Boxcar email (anywhere!), Leafping will send you notifications for sales, referrals and comments. Each one is optional and if you choose to receive comments, you can click a link right in the message to see the comment.
I'm always trying to improve it, so if anyone has some ideas to make it better (while keeping it simple), let me know!
Thanks for share.
Just checked and honestly expected little more info, options etc. but nothing expect nice chart. I think the real power of this is for SMS & email notifications only, and unfortunately.
You should see the following:
- Your balance, with a calculated monthly estimate next to it.
- A big chart of recent events (sales, referrals and comments)
- All of your products, with some info and a calculated estimated monthly sales for each
- Two columns below that, one with recent sales/referrals, the other with recent comments. You can click on a comment to see it.
Always trying to improve it though, let me know if you have some ideas!
If you don't see some of these things, you probably just need to wait for the next cron run (which is every 30 minutes). Refresh the dashboard in about 5 minutes to see your updates.
Wow, looks great, the theme is awesome!
Glad you could resolve the usage issues to offer it for free again
Tried to register, but entered wrong email.. I know, I should have paid attention. I cannot register again (username already registered). Any way to reset that?
It's really amazing Great job!
First Ticksy, now this, simply amazing!
Looks great Justin!
Are you planing to release an update to the Ticksy system too? There are some problems that need to be fixed
Hey, i signed up to Leafping and like it alot, especially the design of the page.
The features you´ve implemented look great and work perfectly. Here´s some ideas for the future:
- Week Sales & Earnings Average (last month, last 3 months, all time)
- Month Sales & Earnings Average (3 month, 1 year, all time)
- Weekday Sales & Earnings Average
- Discrepancy between actual week/month and last week/month (e.g "- 48,33$" written in red, or "+ 19,67$" in green
- "Highscores": best month, best week, best day (earnings / sales), item with most sales, day with most pageviews
- Daily Pageviews of Individual Items
- Chart for Daily Pageviews in general (like the chart you already got)
- Dollars needed for next Commission Rate
- Dollars needed for next badge
- Bar Chart for All Time Sales relating to Daytime (1am to 12 pm)
- Conversion Rate of mostly used currencys (external page info, dont know if you can code this)
I know it´s a lot of stuff but it´s just some ideas i had Another thing i noticed is that the estimate of the actual month doesnt seem to be quite realistic :/
Thanks for offering this great site (for free)

Fort Concho's Buffalo Soldiers recreate company "A" of the 10th Cavalry, one of the two all-black cavalry regiments that protected the Southwest and Great Plains in the late 19th century. Four all-black regiments of infantry and cavalry performed various duties in the American West with distinction in the Indian Wars period, 1866-1891. Fort Concho's Buffalo Soldiers portray a dismounted cavalry company from the late 1870s.
According to various stories, the term "Buffalo Soldier" was a compliment to the black soldier's courage given by his Indian foe. Equating the hair style of the previously unseen blacks to that of the sacred buffalo, the Indians fought but also respected their infantry and cavalry adversaries. The term has endured and the buffalo remains on the 10th Cavalry's regimental crest.

Forms of depression
I recently ad my son four months ago, and even though I love him to death, I feel like I don't connect with him. Sometimes I find myself just staring into space while he's cooing and trying to get my attention and I'm just not there. I don't know what to do about it. I feel really awful about it. Any suggestions?
13th August 2013 06:09 AM #2
Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing how you are feeling here.
It can be so hard having a new baby. Do you have any other children? How was your pregnancy and birth? Women who have had a traumatic birth are more likely to find it difficult to bond with their baby.
I'm so sorry you are feeling like this. It sounds like you may have postnatal depression; it's really common and please remember that it's not your fault that you are feeling like this. Around 1 in 5 mums experience postnatal depression. Signs that you are suffering from this form of depression are:
- feeling sad for long periods
- a low mood you cannot break out of
- feeling unable to bond with your baby
- low energy
- some women experience a low appetite
- feeling constantly tired
Do you recognise any of these in yourself? As I say, please please don't feel guilty or that it is any reflection on you as a mum. It does not detract from how great a mum you are.
It's important to talk and get the support of those around you if you feel you may have postnatal depression. Why don't you make an appointment to have a chat with your health visitor or family doctor about how you are feeling? They will be used to helping mums with this problem. It depends on the severity and length of the depression as to the treatment options.
There may also be a support group near you for local parents who have/ are experiencing postnatal depression. Sometimes it really helps to know others are experiencing the same feelings. I am not sure where you are based, but there are also many charity helplines you can call for some further telephone support. We will also be here for you on this forum.
It's particularly important to eat well when you are a new mum. You may find you need to drink more water than normal if you are breastfeeding. A multi-B supplement can also help with your mood. Going out to: one baby group/see a friend/have a walk each day can also help.
How is your son sleeping? Are you able to get enough rest? Try to nap in the day when he naps if you can. I know sometimes I just feel so tired that I feel unable to appreciate the wonderful things my children are doing. You may also find that babywearing helps you to bond with your son. Do you have any family and friends nearby who can help with your son whilst you have a break?
Please don't suffer alone - you have done the first step in posting here - well done. Please do post back and let us know what you think.
Thinking of you,

I think, sometimes,this is normal especially when you are staying at home alone all the time. However, I guess, you must indulge with any other activities with your family once in a while to limit this kind of depression.
25th June 2014 05:53 AM #4
Postnatal depression is more than just feeling down or having the 'baby blues'. It is a low mood that you are unable to break out of that affects every area of your life. It commonly leads to a loss of appetite, low energy and feeling like you just don't want to/ can't get out of bed to face the day. If you recognise these symptoms in yourself then it is really important that you tell someone about it and see your doctor. There is no shame in postnatal depression; it can affect any woman who has recently given birth and is thought to affect 1 in 5 new mums.
As a new mum it is important to have good friendships and to attend as many baby groups and support groups that you want to - it is a huge time of transition and you must be gentle with yourself and take care of yourself too. However, postnatal depression is much more than these feelings of transition - it is really important to seek help and extra support if you have postnatal depression.
Warm wishes,

How to determine when you are fertile
They say that one of the signs of ovulation is the egg-white like cervical mucus. I can't seem to identity this quality of mucus and I am thinking of using the ovulation test kit. Is this reliable? What is the accuracy rate of this test? And when do I start to use the kit?
21st September 2013 05:40 AM #2
Dear workingforlittleme,
Have a read of this interesting previous post written by one of our moderato's Kate on the Signs of Fertility. Kate writes this:
'The day before and the day of ovulation, your cervical mucus will be clear and wet and it will have the consistency of egg white. You will be able to pick it up and stretch it between your thumb and fore finger and it may not break even if you stretch it 6 inches. This is when you are at your peak of fertility and sex at this time gives you the best chance of conception.'
An ovulation predictor kit can be very useful in helping you tell when you ovulate. If, however, you have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome - this causes fertility problems) then it can give unreliable results. If you use it is conjunction with looking for your natural signs of fertility then this should give you an accurate indication of when you ovulate.
Are your periods regular? Are you having sex regularly?
There was a recent discussion about the ovulation predictor kit here which you may find useful. You can start using it straight away if you are actively trying to conceive.
Warm wishes,

I am curious to know more about your periods. How long are they? On what day of your cycle do you ovulate? Do you know for sure that you are ovulating? How do you know?
Warm Regards,

LONG BEACH — New Orleans detectives are continuing to search for a Long Beach native who teaches in the Big Easy and has been missing since March 2.
Terrilyn Monette, 26, was last seen about 5 a.m. that day at Parlay's Bar. She went to the bar with some acquaintances about 3:30 a.m., and a short time later, told them she was going to sleep in her car before driving home because she had some drinks, New Orleans police said.
A witness told detectives he saw Monette in the parking lot about 4 a.m. with an unknown man. Detectives identified and interviewed the man, the Times-Picayune reported.
Family members have not heard from Monette, and she didn't show up for work, which is uncharacteristic of her, police said.
Family and friends held a vigil for her last week in New Orleans and another Sunday night in Long Beach.
Monette grew up in Long Beach and lived here until last year. She received her teaching degree from Cal State San Bernardino and went to New Orleans to participate in the nonprofit Teach NOLA program, which sends teachers to instruct children in impoverished areas, according to news reports.
This year, Monette started teaching second-graders at an elementary school, where according to news reports she had just been nominated as teacher of the year.
Apart from the police, dozens of people, including many who didn't know Monette, have searched the area where she went missing by foot, looking for any clues that might help explain what happened to the elementary school teacher, the Times-Picayune reported.
Monette's mother, Toni Enclade, arrived in New Orleans last week and said she was "beyond pleased" so many people helped her and her family in the effort to find her daughter, the Times-Picayune reported.
"I'm so grateful for all of the support that we've been given. I'm glad that this has been kept fresh in everybody's minds to remind them that the search is still going on," Enclade told the newspaper
"I won't stop until I find my daughter. I need to find my daughter," she said.
Police said Monette's cell phone stopped working four hours before she disappeared and has not been turned on since then, making it difficult for detectives to track her possible location, the newspaper reported.
Detectives have reviewed surveillance footage from nearby businesses, but police wouldn't comment on the contents because of the ongoing investigation, Times-Picayune reported.
Monette's car, which was also missing, was not equipped with any tracking devices and police do not believe she returned to her apartment Saturday, the newspaper reported.
Monette is described as being 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and weighs 180 pounds. She has a light brown complexion with long brown hair.
She was last seen wearing a pink and yellow sweater with blue jeans. Monette has a tattoo on her left leg.
Monette's vehicle is described as a black 2012 two-door Honda Accord with Louisiana license plate WUN494.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Monette should call New Orleans police at 504-821-2222.
