Sometimes I can only ask in wonderment, what was that doctor thinking? Doctors have been performing lumbar punctures for more than a hundred years.
Naturally, a lot is known about this procedure. A lumbar puncture can yield critical diagnostic information and it is very safe, as long as you take basic precautions.
There are only a handful of reasons that preclude performing a lumbar puncture, most of which are uncommon and every first-year medical student is taught what to look for. So, how do you explain it when a neurologist, i.e., someone who has three post graduate years of specialty training in neurology and who probably has performed hundreds of lumbar punctures, manages to paralyze a patient doing a lumbar puncture?
Sherry Reinhart, married and in her 60's, was admitted to The Toledo Hospital in May 2008. During this hospitalization, Dr. Purvi Saraiya, a neurologist who is a member of Toledo Clinic, a large multispecialty group, saw Sherry and decided to do a lumbar puncture. But, Sherry had a high level of anticoagulation, which put her at risk of bleeding from the needle that would be placed into her spinal canal as part of the procedure.
No problem. Every doctor knows—or should know—how to handle this situation. Unless the lumbar puncture is an emergency, just stop the anticoagulation and put the procedure off for a few days. Dr. Saraiya went forward anyway. In fact, according to a nurse, Dr. Saraiya stuck Sherry 15 to 20 times and drew back blood every time. Dr. Saraiya ordered some X-rays, but then didn't come back to see Sherry that day or the next.
Over the next few days, Sherry progressively lost sensation in her legs and then developed weakness. An MRI was not done until 5 days after the procedure, which by that time confirmed a severe bleed that had caused permanent paralysis. Sherry left the hospital in a wheelchair and never got up from it.
A jury just awarded Sherry and her husband nearly $4 million. Her husband said he'd happily give every cent back if Sherry could be restored.
A corollary to my "what was the doctor thinking" question is what was the defense attorney thinking? This case should not have gone to trial. I suspect I know why this case didn't settle, because cases like this one get tried every day. Jurors have a great bias in favor of doctors and doctors win 90% of medical malpractice trials. Anytime the facts are bad and the verdict is likely to be expensive, it frequently pays for the defense lawyer to try the case and play the odds. But when the facts are bad, the defense lawyer has to invent new ones and hope he can bamboozle the judge and the jury.
Frankly, I'm about fed up with the name calling plaintiff lawyers have to bear. When it comes to acting unprofessionally, no one comes close to the malpractice-defense bar. The most popular defense is a variant of the alibi defense criminals use all the time: Some other dude did it.
The malpractice-defense lawyer varies the ODD defense to: My doctor didn't do it. Typically, the defense attorney trots out prim-and-proper faculty from Ivy League medical schools to testify that the injury was caused by the victim's underlying disease. Thrown in for good measure is, "Such a tragedy that the plaintiff had this terrible condition. My doctor did everything he could to save that (ungrateful fill-in-the-blank) from such an awful situation, and nearly did." It takes a perceptive juror not to fall for that baloney.

A record 58 volunteers completed the training for AMS school accreditation team members in the 2011 – 2012 school year. Their participation on accreditation teams, along with the participation of AMS staffers Marie Conti and Sara Wilson, was vital to the process that resulted in AMS accreditation for 21 schools. We extend our thanks and appreciation to each and every one.
Accreditation teams are vital to the work of AMS school accreditation. Members visit AMS schools to evaluate their programs according to a prescribed set of standards. Based on their reports, the AMS School Accreditation Commission makes recommendations for accreditation to the AMS Board of Directors. It is through the dedication of these professionals that AMS school accreditation continues to thrive.
For information about how you can share your skills and knowledge with schools interested in pursuing accreditation, contact Marcy Rice or sign up for the complimentary AMS School Accreditation Team Member Orientation Webinar on Thursday, September 20, 2012 (6:00 – 9:00 PM ET).

Last Tuesday, two large and prestigious law firms, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal and Jones Day, ran b-to-b branding ads in The Wall Street Journal, presenting themselves as global firms. The ads were a small sign of how far b-to-b marketing among law firms had come since legal advertising was first allowed in 1977.
"Legal advertising, that's been a good growth area," said Scott Schulman, the Journal's senior VP-global sales and marketing. Other firms running in the newspaper include Bingham McCutcheon and Morgan Lewis. "We see the category in a similar state to where accounting firms were five years ago and consulting firms were 10 years ago in discerning the value of advertising."
Over the past few decades, law firms have seen their profession transformed into more of a business with a corresponding emphasis on the bottom line. Large firms looking to grow have increasingly relied on mergers, both in the U.S. and overseas. Smaller firms have specialized in various practices from employment law to intellectual property. Whether large or small, law firms are finding that they are attracting business not so much from personal relationships as they did in the past, but from reputations built by branding.
For many firms, advertising has become a key new rainmaker.
Between 1908 and 1977, lawyers were not permitted to advertise as part of the profession's code of ethics, according to Will Hornsby, staff counsel at the American Bar Association for legal services and author of the book "Marketing and Legal Ethics." In 1977, however, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Bates v. State Bar of Arizona, ruled that attorneys were allowed to advertise.
For the most part, the first lawyers to take advantage of the new rules were personal injury and bankruptcy attorneys advertising in the Yellow Pages and on cable TV. Corporate law firms, many of which looked upon advertising as unprofessional, were slow to take advantage of the Supreme Court ruling.
Influential campaign
But in the early 1990s, the firm Howrey & Simon, led by marketing executive Jay Jaffe, who now runs legal marketing firm Jaffe Associates in Washington, D.C., launched a pioneering and ultimately influential campaign. Bearing the tagline "The human side of genius," the campaign spurred Howrey's growth. It also contributed to the growth of advertising by law firms, which saw the value of such marketing clearly demonstrated.
Gradually, other firms began to follow Howrey's lead. They began branding themselves through advertising and integrated marketing programs. Over the past decade, these firms also began hiring marketing professionals as CMOs rather than giving the responsibility to a partner with a flair for puns.
Among the prime beneficiaries of this trend was Corporate Legal Times, a publication aimed at in-house lawyers at corporations. "When we launched in 1991 very few law firms were advertising," said Nat Slavin, the magazine's publisher.
Initially, Corporate Legal Times' primary advertisers were information technology firms and information providers, such as LexisNexis. Law firms comprised considerably less than a quarter of the magazine's advertising base, Slavin said. But now that figure has increased to about 50%. "Back in 1991 we had maybe half a dozen pages of law firm advertising per issue" Slavin said. "In September, we have about 40."
American Lawyer Media's Corporate Counsel has posted strong year-over-year growth, in part based on strong law firm advertising, according to Jeffrey Morgan, VP-law firm marketing at American Lawyer Media.
In fact, three core legal magazines have posted strong growth so far this year. Corporate Counsel's ad pages were up 29% through July, according to IMS: The Auditor. American Lawyer's and Corporate Legal Times' pages were up 16%.
Law firm Kirkpatrick & Lockhart has used the legal trades to help transform its brand as part of a branding campaign that includes both internal and external components under the oversight of Carla Boza. She become the legal profession's first CMO when she joined the firm six years ago. "We were perceived at that point in time as primarily an East Coast firm and in some cases we were perceived as a Pittsburgh firm," said Boza, who credited marketing for part of the transformation. "I think there is clearly a much greater appreciation of that firm as a national entity with national capabilities."
Niche firms are also seeing success from their marketing campaigns. Laner Muchin, an employment law firm based in Chicago, started working on branding itself about three years ago. Earlier this summer, the firm began running ads in Crain's Chicago Business (a sibling publication of BtoB).
Relying on advice from legal marketing consultant Ross Fishman, the chief exceleration officer of Fishman Marketing, Laner Muchin branded itself in its ads as the law firm that always called its clients back in two hours. One ad mocks the stereotypical law firm's lack of responsiveness by showing a stopwatch and asking in the headline, "Still waiting for your lawyer to call you back?"
Joe Yastrow, a partner at Laner Muchin, estimated that the ad has already paid for itself. "Between a dozen and two dozen companies have responded in some way to this, either through actually hiring us for a particular case or asking us to bid on work," he said.
As a partner, Yastrow bills more than 2,000 hours a year, so overseeing the firm's marketing efforts are a sliver of his duties. The firm, like many in the past decade, may be considering hiring a marketing executive to handle the duties.
Fishman, who was both an attorney and marketer with law firm Winston & Strawn before opening his own marketing shop, said the increasing professionalism of legal advertising is a good thing.
"In the past it was about gavels and globes and scales of justice, and much of it still is; however, the imagery that we're using is becoming much more like good advertising should be," he said.

We live in a rural area and our mailbox is regularly burglarized. The mail is left at the end of our road in the ditch. We now have a PO Box for all our mail and any deliveries come to my work.
It's easy enough to find who the Wal- Mart employee(s) was that accepted the checks....might be worth a conversation....
The bank is liable for a forged signature, not the account holder. She should be able to get her money back from US Bank.
U.S. Bank is a total joke
Jon: US Bank is well aware these are forged signatures. I've seen them myself, and that's totally obvious. So far, all it has offered is the voiding of the remaining checks. I'm not sure what responsibility it feels here.
Tagup: Good idea. Seems like someone screwed up over there, judged form Walmart's stated policy.
Steve Bagwell, Managing Editor
Tuvey: Works for some folks, but not sure an 87-year-old is up to driving somewhere every day to check her mail. Pluse, it involves expense, and she's on a very tight budget.
The story clearly states that Wal-Mart company policy was violated by whomever accepted these checks. Wal-Mart has an obligation to look into this. Did the same person accept these numerous checks? Could this be more than a screw up by an employee? Perhaps someone working in cahoots with the thief? Yup, worth having that conversation, perhaps with the police. Creeps who prey on people like Ms. Moore deserve to be found out and prosecuted. And US Bank has Ms. Moore's signature on file, yet continued to honor checks that did not meet her profile. This is just wrong on so many levels.
Not sure Wal-mart has an obligation, I think that would be for law enforcement to investigate. Wal-Mart just wants to avoid negative public relations..(and get paid for their merchandise)so they will likely cooperate with the details.

Filmed at a September 19 sold-out concert in a stunning outdoor venue in Salt Lake City, Utah, The Piano Guys: Live from Red Butte Garden is the television concert premiere of a musical group on a meteoric rise. YouTube sensation The Piano Guys, featuring Steven Sharp Nelson on cello and Jon Schmidt on piano, offer new songs and fan favorites all showcasing the wow factor that sets their performances apart.
While The Piano Guys produce beautiful music, they are best known for their interpretations of well-known favorites. For a mash-up of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Simple Gifts," the American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic and One Voice Children's Choir accompany the band. When performing Beethoven's "Five Secrets," groups of philharmonic musicians planted in the audience stand up one by one to join in, playing their own instruments in an orchestral flash mob.
Also on the program are The Piano Guys' versions of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful," Dave Guetta's "Without You," Christina Perri's "Thousand Years" and "Bring Him Home" from Les Misérables. The concert special incorporates some of the duo's YouTube videos such as "Cello Wars," cellist Steven Sharp Nelson's take on the Star Wars theme.
The Piano Guys, newly signed to Sony Masterworks, are five Utahans: Jon Schmidt, the Piano Guy; Steven Sharp Nelson, the Cello Guy; Al Van Der Beek, the Music and Studio Guy; Paul Anderson, the Producer and Videographer Guy; and Tel Stewart, the Videographer and Editor Guy.

text: I picked up two systems this weekend to fix for a friend. However, something wierd happened in the move. The power supply failed in one and I cannot get either to work with my monitor. Is there anyway I can trouble shoot to see if the boards went bad. One has a internal video, doesn't show on my monitor. The other has a PCI does not show up. My home PC & laptop show up fine. My PC has an AGP card and will not fit in either, and the PCI will not work in either.

Tilt: Scared Money
The Fear of Losses
If you are scared of losing your money, then you will make bad decisions.
Scared Money is a topic that is more important than one may think. The phrase 'playing with scared money' is used when you are scared of losing the money you are playing with, preventing you from making optimal decisions. You can't play in an uninhibited way any more because the money you bet compromises your decisions. Playing with scared money can be seen as a form of tilt.
On the one hand, we want to avoid playing with scared money ourselves, but on the other hand, we very much want our opponents to be playing with scared money. If we notice that a player is playing with scared money and is therefore playing a style that is very tight, we can put this player under pressure with more aggressive play, causing him to give up a lot of pots. We want our opponent to make mistakes of a psychological nature in addition to those of mathematical nature.

Like recently I've noticed that even though I'm playing micro limits I occasionally find myself worrying wether or not to push all in with a strong hand, just incase I lose a small amount of my bankroll. So thanks for the eye opener and the very informative article.

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) İstanbul MP Garo Paylan has submitted a parliamentary inquiry regarding Saint Maria Catholic Church in Trabzon, which was attacked by an armed person on March 6, and requested that Minister of Interior Süleyman Soylu respond to the inquiry.
In the inquiry, Paylan has referred to the previous attacks directed against the church and said, "It has been reflected in the press that an armed attack was carried out against Saint Maria Catholic Church, which is located in Kamerkaya Neighborhood in Trabzon and whose serving priest Andrea Santoro was murdered 12 years ago. Trabzon Provincial Security Directorate was also informed about an incident where the same church was attempted to be burned in February 2018. After the incident, the Governorate of Trabzon issued a statement (...) and meticulous efforts are being made to catch the perpetrator or perpetrators of the incident. All possible precautions are being taken by the relevant institutions."
"Attacks against the church have continued sporadically"
In the inquiry, Paylan has emphasized that "after the priest Santoro was murdered in an armed attack in 2006, attacks against Saint Maria Catholic Church have continued sporadically." Paylan has also added,
"In January 2011, the church was threatened on the ground that its cross had been illuminated; in one of the bottles thrown at the church, there was a note which read 'Either you take down the cross on top of the church or we will.' After the July 15 2016 coup attempt, a group of people protesting the coup attempt attacked the church by chanting Allahu Akbar, they broke the windows of the church by throwing paving stones and they attempted to break the door of the church.
"Developments since 2006 have shown that attacks to the church have been systematically continuing."
With the parliamentary inquiry, Paylan has directed questions as to whether any investigation has been opened in relation with the attacks directed against Saint Maria Catholic Church in Trabzon; what Turkey-wide measures are taken for the security of Christians, who are systematically attacked and whose numbers in Trabzon have been diminishing since 2006 and whether any deterrent steps will be taken against the attacks directed to the cultural and religious places of Christians and Jews across Turkey.

Support System with Crazy Creek Buckles
I really like the buckles on the Crazy Creek system, but I didn't like how the webbing has to be doubled to use it. So I got two buckles and made my own system using Ed Speer's 1" polypro webbing. With this system, I only have to wrap the webbing once around the tree, and I can adjust or center the hammock very easily from underneath the tarp. And although I've never had a problem with water running down the straps onto the hammock, this system also has cord connecting it to the hammock, so if any water makes it past the buckle a drip string will catch the remaining drips.
Final Weight: 1-1/8 oz (32 g) each, plus webbing (weight varies depending on length)
|Here are the buckles as they arrived from Crazy Creek. I think they're stamped or cast b/c I don't see a weld in there, so they should be strong enough even though Crazy Creek's customer service didn't have a tested weight when I asked.
The slider can't slip out even when turned diagonally inside the buckle.
The buckles weigh 7/8 oz (26 g) each.
Arkwater tracked down another source for the buckles here. They're called "metal cinch buckles" and the pic looks exactly like the Crazy Creek ones, but with a different finish. They also have a 1-3/4" buckle for use with wider webbing.
|This shows the "V" shape of the slider.
|I used Air Core Plus from BPL for the cord, tying an overhand on a bight at each end. I made a big one for the end that will go on the webbing so that two strands of cord will make contact with the webbing, dispersing the weight.
|Here's the final product. Steps to get here:
|And here's what it looks like with a hammock and webbing.
I should be able to use a shorter piece of webbing for the support with this buckle because the webbing only has to go around the tree once. When I decide how much I need (probably 5-6'), I'll post a final weight...I expect it to be 2.5 oz per side, for a total of 5 oz.
My current webbing system is a 130" strap per side, 2 oz each, 4 oz total.
My lightest support system is Air Core Plus and HH tree huggers, totaling 2.5 oz, so the buckle system is a net gain of 2.5 oz. Not sure if that's worth it...

Tell us how to improve mental health services
Published Monday, 09 December 2013
A strategy for adults with mental health problems in Enfield has just been developed and residents are being asked to comment on it in a consultation which ends on 10 February 2014.
This joint strategy is devised by Enfield Council, the Enfield Clinical Commissioning Group in partnership with the Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust, representatives of people who access mental health services, their carers and voluntary and community organisations.
Views are being gathered from online consultations, through conversations with people with mental health problems; carers and health practitioners and at two public events.
Cllr Don McGowan, Enfield Council's Cabinet Member for Adult Services, Care & Health, said, "Mental health problems can strike people at any time and the effects can be devastating. We want a robust strategy that offers constructive help and challenges the stigma associated with mental health issues.
"We are working with the NHS to produce a strategy for the next five years, but we need the input from our residents to ensure that we reflect local needs. We aim to improve the mental health and wellbeing of the population of Enfield and to improve recovery for adults with mental health problems living in the borough."
Dr Anshu Bhagat, local GP and member of Enfield Clinical Commissioning Group's (CCG) Governing Body said: "Good mental health is as important as good physical health. The CCG is committed to ensuring that patients in Enfield have access to high quality mental health services and we are pleased to be working with Enfield Council and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust to develop a joint strategy.
"It is really important that we get the views of patients, carers and the public during the consultation. I encourage everyone to have their say so that together we can improve the health and wellbeing of our community."
The consultation results will be available on the websites of Enfield Council, Enfield CCG and the Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust from 10 March 2014.
The final strategy will be published in June 2014 and will be available on the each organisation's web-site.
Some facts and figures about mental health in Enfield:
• At least one in four adults will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives and one in six adults is experiencing a mental health problem at any one time.
• Almost half of all adults will experience at least one episode of depression during their lifetime.
• On average, people with schizophrenia die 15-25 years earlier than other people
• Depression is associated with 50% increased mortality from all disease.
• Mental health problems are estimated to be the commonest cause of premature death
There will be two public consultation events on:
Tuesday 7 January 2014 – 12 noon – 4pm at the Dugdale Centre
Tuesday 21 January 2014 – 9am – 1pm at Green Towers, Edmonton Green
If you would like to attend one of the consultation events, please e-mail us or look for more details on the council's website.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Bird Watching and other Adventure Travel topics.
Sometimes a bird watcher will see familiar friends if travelling to Central or South America for a birding holiday.
* The golden plover breeds in North America, but flies over 2,400 miles to winter in South America.
* The artic tern flies over 10,000 miles during their migrations.
Many birds that live in tropical climates also migrate briefly to the north, spending just a few months out of the year before returning. If you are an avid bird watcher, try to plan your trip according to the migration of a specific species. See your old friend in their summer or winter home!

Support Max and Jeroen's Travelling Film Swaps2 5 Share Tweet
Two of our awesome community users, Max and Jeroen, entered a competition using a Lomo LC-A. Check their double-tastic entries out!
Max and Jeroen are two photography-students from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Kask) located in Ghent, Belgium. They went for a study-trip to Budapest in April for their master class. There, they made a work for this competition with a Lomo LC-A, a notorious Russian camera. What they saw in the streets were a lot of people traveling, going from A to B, commuters going from their home to their work and vice versa. They tried to capture this vibe with multiple exposures using analog 35mm film. Budapest gave them the impression that it was a very open, European city — the Europe without boundaries.
"These travelers are a metaphor for this freedom to go and stand wherever you like," says Max and Jeroen.
Please click here to vote! All that you need to do is press the Tetszik (facebook like) button on the top left. Voting ends 24th of May, so it has to be up soon!

Robson magnanimous in defeat
Laura Robson conceded Li Na was too good for her this time as the British number one exited the US Open in the third round.
Twelve months ago the teenager announced her arrival on the world stage with back-to-back wins over Kim Clijsters and Li to reach the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time.
But fifth seed Li was in very good form on Friday and, although Robson upped her level in the second set, it was not enough as the Chinese player won 6-2 7-5.
Robson said: "I thought she played really well. She didn't give me too many chances in the rally, so I never felt I got a rhythm going with my groundstrokes.
"She was returning really deep. There wasn't a lot I could do in some points.
"It was quite windy when we started the match, so on one side you would have to play more spin and, I wasn't quite doing that very well."
The pair opened the schedule on Arthur Ashe, which meant they began the match in front of virtually empty stands, but Robson insisted that had not been a factor in her slow start.
"I wasn't expecting it to be full," she said. "I have played on there a couple times, so I'm used to it when it's empty as well. I thought by the end of the match it was quite loud."
Robson did not look comfortable throughout the first set, spraying her forehand to all parts and struggling on her serve as she won only one of the first six games.
Li was eager for revenge and when on form is one of the most consistent and cleanest strikers of a tennis ball on the tour.
Her returns were working particularly well, arrowing in on Robson's feet before she had a chance to prepare for the next shot.
Robson, a seed for the first time at a grand slam, responded well to losing the first set by winning the first three games of the second and she was within sight of a fourth game in a row at 0-30.
But Li generally served very well, 11 aces more than cancelling out her six double faults, and the chance quickly disappeared.
The Chinese pegged Robson back to 3-3 and the crucial break came in the 11th game before Li clinched victory on her second match point with a second-serve ace.
Robson's statistics did not make pretty reading, with 30 unforced errors and only seven winners, but that was in a large part down to the excellent play of her opponent.
It was nevertheless a disappointing end to a promising week for the teenager, who demonstrated a growing maturity in her first two wins against Lourdes Dominguez Lino and Caroline Garcia, but she should not fall too far from her current ranking of 32.
Li's performance, meanwhile, showed the step the 19-year-old still has to make to move to the next level.
Robson said: "(I'm) not too far (away). I think I'm going in the right direction. I feel like I'm improving and working on a more all-around game. It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I'm willing to do that.
"I'm disappointed about today, for sure, and I thought I could have played a lot better. But I always knew it was going to be a tough match. All in all, I guess it was an average week."
Expectations had been tempered going into the tournament by a wrist injury that meant Robson had played just two matches since Wimbledon.
Her right wrist was taped for every match and she took painkillers during her victory over Garcia.
Robson will now take a short break to allow it to recover fully, and also to have her wisdom teeth out, but she is hoping to be fit for the Guangzhou International in two weeks' time, where she reached her first WTA Tour final last year.
Robson said: "(I'll have) a rest just so it settles down completely and I will see my doctor when I get back. I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out as well.
"All the other girls in the locker room are telling me their horror stories. 'Oh yeah, I pulled my gauze out and it was just blood.' So that's not too nice.
"Jamie Hampton was trying to scare me. She was like, 'Oh, I couldn't do anything for three weeks.' I don't really listen to her. Hopefully it'll just be a couple of days."

Did I rope you in with the title? I hope so! I heard this statement recently when having lunch with a friend. And it has bothered me for weeks! Thus I am writing about it because we need to address this! By 'WE', I mean everyone. Not just Christians, but everyone. Statements like this are what cause hate, anger, lack of self worth, and the list goes on. The 'you are not my kind of Christian' attitude has to stop NOW!
You Are Not My Kind of Christian
Let me backtrack here for a minute to give you the story of where this statement came from. It really isn't about the statement itself but the attitude that leads to the statement. My friend, who is a believer, has struggled with finding a church home, a place where she felt she belonged. This is a true story for so many friends, and has even been true for Cody and I at various points in our lives. My friend had a couple of experiences that made her feel unwelcome. As she put it, "they looked at me like, 'You are not my kind of Christian.'" She said this several times in our conversation about her various experiences. From a devout Christian coworker who was shocked that my friend listened to Christian music and told her that she just didn't think she was the type of person who would listen to Christian music, to a new Bible study group who barely interacted with her for two meetings until my friend kindly asked to be moved to a different table. Then another devout Christian friend made an offhand comment to her about church and Bible study. Time and again, as she was telling me these stories, she kept saying, "I just felt like I wasn't their kind of Christian."
Are you angry yet? I was!
Churches are full of sinners, we fill them, and we are human, which makes them imperfect places which can lead to heartache. Churches define themselves and set up boundaries. We set up those boundaries. They are our boundaries not God's! I listened to a sermon once about how we put up fences (aka boundaries) and those fences are rules. Rules we have made such as, if you don't believe exactly as I do, you can't cross my fence. If you don't view communion the same as I do, you can't cross my fence. You read a differemt version of the Bible than I do, so you can't cross my fence. If you are not Christian, you can't cross my fence. The list goes on. We make fences every day like this. You don't like the same music I do, so you can't cross my fence. We look different, so you can't cross my fence. You are a different religion than I am, so you can't cross my fence. I am guilty of putting up these fences. I have to work to not put up fences. God does not put up fences EVER!
God calls us to him as his children. He calls us to have a relationship with Him. And when we don't, it is because of our fences. God calls us to be disciples of Christ. He calls us to lead by example. That example is breaking down fences, loving all of God's children. That example is saying, "You listen to the Christian station too? Awesome, what is one of your favorite bands?" That example is saying, "Welcome, we are so glad to have you join our Bible study group." That example is listening with an open heart to the needs of those around us. To act in kind and loving ways. To be as Christ-like as we can, regardless of our differences. As I have reflected on this for some time now, I am not angry anymore, but I feel sad for those who made my friend feel this way. I pray that they may find a way to be better disciples of Christ.
You Are a Child of God
We are all children of God. If you don't believe in God, we are all still human. For me, regardless of your beliefs, I think we need to live in a way that breaks down fences, that fosters tolerance, that creates space for acceptance in our differences, that generates love toward one another. I want my friend to be able to feel accepted instead of feeling like 'you are not my kind of Christian'. Wouldn't it be great if she felt she belonged regardless of differences? Wouldn't we all feel better if that were true? I challenge you to act as a disciple! I am challenging myself and know that I have work to do. Work that I am excited to do to help create a place for all God's children.

Cambridge Announces Finalist for Police Commissioner
Meet the finalist forum to be held on June 20, 2017
June 16, 2017 – The City of Cambridge today announced Branville G. Bard,, Jr. of Philadelphia, PA as the finalist in the search process for a new Police Commissioner. In January, the City engaged the services of the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) to develop a leadership profile, conduct recruitment, and perform the initial screening of applicants.
"I am pleased that the search process yielded a highly qualified candidate who can lead Cambridge's 21st-century police department beginning on day one," City Manager Louis A. DePasquale said. "Chief Bard has a proven track record and possess the qualities that our community expects in a Police Commissioner: cultural awareness and sensitivity, a commitment to department-wide equity and inclusiveness, a deep commitment to procedural justice, and visionary, effective, and strong police leadership."
Chief Bard currently serves as the Chief of Police and the Director of Public Safety for the Philadelphia Housing Authority's Police Department. Prior to this, he served in numerous positions for the Philadelphia Police Department, including Police Inspector, and Police Captain for the 22nd District. Chief Bard holds a Doctorate in Public Administration from Valdosta State University.
"Chief Bard has an appreciation for the unique challenges faced by sanctuary cities, and will take a data-driven approach to improvement, quality assurance, and policing," City Manager DePasquale said. "I want to thank the City staff, community stakeholders, and members of the City Manager's Advisory Committee who participated in the selection process to date, and provided me with valuable feedback on each of the candidates. I am so pleased that a representative group of the Cambridge community could participate in this confidential hiring process."
Chief Bard was selected as a finalist following two days of in-person interviews held in Cambridge in early May. Five candidates were initially interviewed in May. The first day of interviews included two review panels comprised of City staff and community stakeholders. After the initial day of interviews and a debriefing of the panels, each candidate was interviewed by City Manager DePasquale and Deputy City Manager Peterson. This week, Chief Bard participated in a day-long series of additional interviews with City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and City staff. On June 20, 2017, at 6:00pm, Chief Bard will participate in a public "Meet the Finalist Forum" at the Main Public Library, 449 Broadway. The public will be invited to submit written feedback at the forum. Chief Bard will also participate in additional stakeholder interviews.
The City Manager is expected to make a final decision by early July after reviewing the public feedback and conducting reference checks.
About the Cambridge Police Department: With a budget of over $50 million, the Cambridge Police Department has 272 sworn police officers and 47 professional staff members. The Department is committed to providing residents and visitors with the highest level of professional police services while respecting the constitutional rights of all. The strength of the organization lies within its philosophy and method of operation, which combines community policing, problem-oriented policing, and collaboration with our community and city partners. Community engagement and outreach are focused on youth, homeless, seniors, and residents with mental health issues. Crime in Cambridge dropped for the sixth consecutive year in 2016, to record low levels not experienced since 1961.
About PERF: Founded in 1976 as a nonprofit organization, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) is a police research and policy organization and a provider of management services, technical assistance, and executive-level education to support law enforcement agencies. PERF helps to improve the delivery of police services through the exercise of strong national leadership; public debate of police and criminal justice issues; and research and policy development.
Review panel participants: Ann Fleck-Henderson, City Manager Advisory Committee; Frank Pedro, City Manager Advisory Committee; Joshua A. Reyes, City Manager Advisory Committee; Rev. Eliis Washington, City Manager Advisory Committee; Lisa Thurau, Police Commissioner Advisory Board; Bishop Brian Greene, Police Chaplain; Lisa Peterson, Deputy City Manager; Ellen Semonoff, Asst. City Manager/Human Service Programs; Betsy Allen, Director/Equity and Inclusion; Andrea Brown, Chief Administrative Officer/Police; Brian Corr, Peace Commission/Police Review and Advisory Board; Louis DePasquale, City Manager; Christina Giacobbe, Director/ Emergency Communications; Lee Gianetti, Director/Communications and Community Relations; Nancy Glowa, City Solicitor; Sheila Keady Rawson, Personnel Director; Brent Larrabee, Interim Police Commissioner; Robert Wasserman, Advisor.
Former Police Commissioner Robert Haas and Acting Fire Chief Gerard Mahoney participated in interviews.

Mardi Gras is in full swing around these parts and
there is no way to celebrate Carnival more than with crawfish.
Crawfish Pie is one of the ultimate "Cajun" seafood recipes.
It's so easy to make and definitely falls into a comfort food recipe category.
I usually make this as my main course, but can easily be adapted into appetizer servings.
Crawfish Pie
Printable recipe
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup butter
2 pounds peeled crawfish tails
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup minced parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 to 2 teaspoons cornstarch
dough for a double pie crust
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
Saute bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic in butter until tender; simmer 10 minutes.
Add the crawfish tails, green onions, parsley, and seasonings.
Thicken if necessary with a little cornstarch; let cook long enough to thicken gravy.
Place half of the pie crust dough in a nine-inch pie pan. Fill with the cooled filling. Place the top crust on the pie, moisten edges with an egg wash (egg white and water) and seal. Cut two or three one-inch-long slits in the top crust.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees; lower the oven to 375 degrees and cook for 35 minutes longer or until the crust is golden brown.
I usually always serve my crawfish pie with Tabasco. The vinegar really compliments the flavors of the pie.

Superior Absorption & Odor Control
Made from a proprietary blend of the fibrous materials found in the walnut shell, Naturally Fresh neutralizes litter box odors better than clay, pine and wheat.
Long Lasting — Proven To Absorb 3x Better Than The Leading Clay Litter*
Because Naturally Fresh is so absorbent, one bag of is equal to three bags of the leading clay litter.
Enhanced With Long-Lasting Fresh Scent
Our unique Alpine Meadow® blend of herbs and botanicals that provide a fresh scent in the litter area without the overbearing perfumes of other litters.
Harder Clumps For Easier Scooping*
Our super-absorbent formula produces harder clumps than pine, corn and wheat in as little as 15 minutes, making clean-up simple and mess-free.
Low Tracking And Virtually NO Dust
Unlike clay litters, which throw off silica dust, Naturally Fresh is virtually dust-free so you and your cat can breathe easy. It's also low tracking so it doesn't stick to your cat's paws and stays in the box.
All Natural and Eco-Friendly
All-natural and annually renewable.
All natural and biodegradable†, Naturally Fresh is made from walnut shells, an annually renewable non-food agricultural product.
NO toxins, NO worries.
Made without any harmful ingredients, Naturally Fresh is safe for you and your cat or kitten.
Instructions for Use
Fill clean litter box to the recommended level of 3" of Naturally Fresh Natural Training Quick-Clumping Litter.
Naturally Fresh Natural Training Quick-Clumping Litter forms an easily removable clump of waste when wet. Remove with a scoop and discard according to your local regulations.
Maintain by removing clumps and solid waste daily. Add more litter, as needed, to maintain 3" depth.
It is recommended that you clean and sanitize your litter box every 30 days to maintain a fresh and healthy litter box for your cat.
Based on a single-cat household, Naturally Fresh Quick-Clumping Litter should last at least 30 days between changes, or as needed, for odor control.
Start by placing one to two inches of Naturally Fresh Natural Training Quick-Clumping Litter in a clean cat litter box.
Top dress with enough of your current cat litter to cover Naturally Fresh Natural Training Quick-Clumping Litter.
Each time you change the litter, reduce the amount of your current litter.
It typically takes one or two changes for most cats to be comfortable with a new litter. Repeat reducing the amount of your current litter if needed.
Note: Wash hands thoroughly after handling used cat litter. Cat feces sometimes carry parasites that can cause toxoplasmosis. Pregnant women and people with suppressed immmune systems should avoid contact with used cat litter.
* In separate independent studies, Naturally Fresh Quick Clumping, Multi-Cat Quick-Clumping, Scented Multi-Cat Quick-Clumping, Herbal Attraction Quick-Clumping, Ultra Odor Control Multi-Cat and Kitten Training litters were found to: (i) have a liquid absorption capacity at least three times greater per ounce than the leading clay-based litter; (ii) control ammonia odors better than the leading clumping litters; and (iii) form harder clumps than the leading pine, corn and wheat clumping cat litters.
** In an independent study, Naturally Fresh Non-Clumping Pellet litter was found to: (i) control ammonia odors better than the leading non-clumping litters.

Yet our calling is to care for God's beautiful creation.
'God saw all that he had made and it was very good' Genesis 1v31
So last Saturday I found myself carrying bricks and cardboard into the grounds of our church. A passer-by gave me and my family a strange look. We were there to start building a 'bug hotel', a refuge to encourage rare and not so rare insects to thrive on our church's land. Insects such as bees that are so vital to pollination.
Our church is starting to make some small contributions to caring for the environment. We've been inspired by A Rocha's great initiative Eco Church. This helps ordinary church congregations to improve their teaching, use of land and lifestyles.
My youngest son got up from our dinner table last week in the middle of supper. We were about to tell him off but noticed he was just turning off unused lights. These are small steps, yes, but if everyone does them great things happen. One third of the planet's population are part of churches so if we all do something the impact could be amazing ...
So I wonder whether you could try Eco Church with your church and what would happen if you did?

A global city-state in Southeast Asia, the Republic of Singapore is often called The Garden City, owing to its abundant natural beauty. The main territory of the city consists of a diamond-shaped island, popularly called Singapore Island, and many smaller islets. Parks and nature reserves constitute nearly 10 per cent of its land area. Its people have been successful in improving their urban lifestyle, without damaging the natural surroundings. These parks and nature reserves can be included in the itinerary, when planning Singapore holidays. Three amazing naturalistic sites in the city-state are Pulau Ubin, the city zoo and the botanical gardens.
Pulau Ubin
Travellers can catch a bumboat from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal to reach the peaceful shores of Pulau Ubin. The stroll through this island village takes them back to the Singapore of the 60s, owing to its slow pace and simple pleasures of life. A day trip to this place is often included in Singapore tour packages, available with different online travel agencies (OTAs). Visitors can choose to either walk or pedal down the serene roads, lined with swaying coconut palms. They can explore the shady trails in its rubber plantations, mangroves and secluded beaches. With fresh air, delicious cuisine, and soothing sounds and sights, this place calms mind and soul.
Singapore Zoo
Singapore tours may seem incomplete without a visit to the city zoo. Established in the year 1973, this zoological park is famous for its wildlife settings, where animals can roam freely in their natural habitats. Elevated platforms have been installed to allow visitors to see giraffes. Different underwater galleries provide tourists a glimpse of marine life with otters, giant estuarine crocodiles and pygmy hippos swimming around. Predatory cheetahs and lions can be witnessed safely from special glass observation panels.
Encompassing different wildlife habitats of the world, the zoo has exhibits like savannah grasslands of Africa and rough canyons of the Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia. Fragile Forest has pathways, where people can walk to do incredibly intimate interactions with animals. The Elephants at Work and Play Show features the animals, carrying massive logs and spraying water from their trunks. With goals of preserving the biodiversity, this zoo not only educates travellers about appreciating the animals, but also teaches to respect them in their natural surroundings.
Singapore Botanic Gardens
Fostering agricultural development, the 74-hectare Singapore Botanic Gardens holds a significant place in the hearts of nature lovers. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, these gardens attract casual visitors, horticulture experts, biologists and photographers. Its landscape consisting of greenery, along with the serene surroundings of Swan Lake, provides a tranquil environment. The gardens house more than 1000 species and 2000 hybrids of orchids. People can also visit Ginger Garden, home to around 250 members of the Zingiberaceae species of plants. The primeval rainforest in these gardens contains over 300 types of plants, with some that are rare in Singapore.
These are the three informative naturalistic places to explore during Singapore holidays.

Advent Countdown Calendar 2015 Update #2
Submitted by Pam on Fri, 09/25/2015 - 04:28
I have been knitting and felting and embellishing to my heart's content - and then some; trying to keep on schedule to create a new Advent Countdown Calendar featuring tiny ornaments made using patterns created by Arne and Carlos and Marie Mayhew. So far so good!
Today's post is dedicated to ornaments made from Marie Mayhew's patterns available on Etsy (Woolly Something Shop); Craftsy (here) and Ravelry (here). Some of these ornaments were made from patterns available in her new book "Whimsical Woolies", available here on Amazon or here in her Etsy shop.
Although I share most ornaments the minute they are done over on Instagram, it is time to make sure I update my blog friends!!
The original mushroom pattern is for a red 'shroom with white spots, but I did a bit of needle felting with roving to create more of a wild portobella appearance.
Two sides of Marie's Christmas Ball pattern using my own needle felting designs for the 'shrooms. That is what I love so much about Marie's book, she teaches the basics and then inspires you to let your own imagination run free on the lovely felted surfaces!!!
Marie is waaaaaay more skilled at applying and felting yarn to the ball surface than I am, but her techniques are in the book and offer all kinds of possibilities. I added a bit of embroidery as well. Not my favorite effort so far, but that is my fault. I think I used the wrong size yarns for the size of the 2" ball and I need more practice!!
But my little Nisse turned out perfectly!!! I used the Woodland Gnome pattern in the book. A few wispy wild hairs here and there turned it into a respectable Nisse!!!
The mini Nisse is very tiny compared with the regular sized Santa version of the Woodland Gnome! And as is quite apparent - more mischievous! Instructions for making her gnomes and 20 other knit/felt decorations and creatures are shared in Marie's book.
Now you are up to date!!! At least with Marie's ornaments. Those made from patterns by Arne and Carlos will appear early next month!!
Hi Pam, those are soo cute

Nancy, you are so wonderful! When I make the "stinkin' cute" category, I know I have gotten somewhere!!! I love that owl too. So quick to knit and felt and finish. Always adorable. Marie just plain rocks. I love her patterns so much - guess THAT is obvious!!!
I am currently knitting up 5 mini Matilda witches and can not wait to get to the embellishing stage! 5 teeny goblins each with a different colored face. Too much fun!!!
Thank you so much for dropping by and for your lovely comment.
Marie, thank you! Haha I

Marie, thank you! Haha I thought of you the whole time I was working on the nisse just because I remember that we both love making the Santa versions of the Woodland Gnome.
Actually, I am knitting 25! Roughly 12 of each designer. I will place them in a large basket and place one on the tree each day from December 1 through Dec 25. Your ornaments knit up so fast and are so much fun to embellish! I am sure I will make it!!!

Pam, I love them! especially that little santa guy (nisse) and that wintery matroyshka doll, love it! I really like that idea for a countdown. Are you really going to knit up 40 ornaments? I might do the 12 days of Christmas as starters! Wish we lived closer and could hang out and knit together! Thanks for your support and sharing with us.
