The best day for Nha.
Last week Nha had been having such a hard time. Breathing had become very difficult and he needed the help of oxygen to give him some relief. While Nha spent a lot of time sleeping, he looked comfortable and peaceful.
Despite providing Nha with a diet of a high caloric formula, he is not gaining any weight - in fact, he has lost some. Sometimes this happens when a person begins to get closer to the end of their lives and their body begins to slow down gradually. We will continue to do everything we can to keep Nha comfortable, and we still hope that by continuing to feed Nha a good, nutritious diet, he might gain a little bit of weight back, or at least, stop losing it.
Hydrocephalus, and the complications that come along with the disease can be very unpredictable. Most of the children who suffer from untreated hydrocephalus seem to swing back and forth between being stable and being very unwell. The road ahead is unknown - we often have no idea about what could be behind the next corner or the where the next turn may take us. For Nha, we are taking each day as it comes.
However TODAY told a different story. Around this corner told of a happier time! Nha had the best day he's had in such a long time! He was alert, smiling and spent the morning being kissed and cuddled, read to and sung to and being filled up with lots of love. Nha was given a big thick blanket to keep him warm and a soft teddy bear to keep him company. Today was a GREAT day!
Like for many of our children, we can never be too sure about what will happen next, but we will be with Nha all the way making sure he doesn't have to go through it alone and making sure that for the time we have with Nha, we will celebrate with him and help him to live life as much as he can.
Our role as palliative care providers is about giving life to days, not about giving days to life.

Clearly the seven students were friends. Perhaps they even qualified as a clique, with at least some of them sharing an unusual interest in Nietzsche and Latin. Now the police in this suburb east of Jackson have said that the students were also co-conspirators in a plot to kill fellow students at Pearl High School.
On Monday night and Tuesday morning, the police arrested six students, plucking some of them from their first-period classes, and charged them with conspiracy to commit murder. The arrests came less than a week after a rampage on Oct. 1 in which Luke Woodham, a 16-year-old student, is accused of walking into the school's airy, skylighted commons and firing round after round from a hunting rifle. Mr. Woodham is charged with killing two students, including a former girlfriend, and wounding seven.
The police later discovered that Mr. Woodham's mother, Mary Ann Woodham, 50, had been stabbed to death with a butcher knife earlier that morning in the home she shared with her son. Mr. Woodham has been charged with her killing as well.
Just as the memorial services and vigils had ended here, this central Mississippi city of 22,000 was stunned again by the arrests of Mr. Woodham's six friends.
The police have said virtually nothing about the nature of the reported conspiracy, except that they are convinced of its existence.
''We felt strongly enough that we were willing to pursue the charges,'' Chief W. E. Slade of the Pearl Police Department said in an interview.
Affidavits filed by a police detective assert that the six students were involved in a conspiracy to kill students at the school.
They have been identified as Marshall Grant Boyette Jr., 18; Donald P. Brooks 2d, 17; Wesley Brownell, 17; Delbert Shaw, 16; Justin Sledge, 16; and Daniel Thompson, 16.
Mr. Brooks and Mr. Boyette are also charged with conspiring in May to kill Mr. Brooks's father, Donald Brooks Sr. Apparently, no such effort was ever made, and the younger Mr. Brooks's lawyer, James Bell, said today that his client's father ''fully supports him and stands by him and doesn't believe the charge.''
The six students charged this week all remain in jail on $1 million bail for each conspiracy count against them. Mr. Woodham is being held without bail. All have been charged as adults. All are current students at Pearl High except for Mr. Boyette, a former Pearl student who attended Hinds Community College.
Both Chief Slade and Arthur F. Jernigan Jr., a lawyer for the Pearl Public School District, said today that police were advised to investigate Mr. Woodham's friends by students and parents after last week's killings. Some students referred to the accused students as ''the group,'' Mr. Jernigan said.
''They were identified by that name by some students in interviews with school officials,'' Mr. Jernigan said. ''We have not independently been able to verify that an organized group exists and we do not know whether or not any of the young men are alleged members, currently or formerly, of this group.''
School officials and students said the accused students liked to eat lunch together and spend free time with one another. Some of them apparently had a penchant for wearing black clothing. Several students have said Mr. Woodham was occasionally teased as a ''nerd.''
William Dodson, the superintendent of the Pearl public schools, said none of the students had been reported for previous discipline problems.
''They were higher than average intelligence students,'' Mr. Dodson said. ''They were apparently students that didn't have an identity, however, and they tried to make their identity themselves.''
One of the students came to the attention of the authorities almost immediately after the shootings. Mr. Sledge said Mr. Woodham, upon arriving at the school last Wednesday, gave him notebooks of writings that seemed to include an explanation for the killings.
Mr. Sledge provided copies of one page from the notebooks to several reporters.
''I am not insane,'' the page reads. ''I am angry. I am not spoiled or lazy, for murder is not weak and slow-witted. Murder is gutsy and daring. I killed because people like me are mistreated every day. I did this to show society, 'Push us and we will push back.' ''
The page ended with a passage from Nietzsche that asked, ''How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?''
On the day after the killings, Mr. Sledge was suspended for disrupting a candlelight vigil for the victims by telling the gathering that Mr. Woodham ''went mad because of society.''
After the shootings, Mr. Woodham, who worked at a Domino's pizza franchise, was captured by an assistant principal, Joel Myrick, while trying to leave the school in his mother's car. Mr. Myrick, a powerfully built Army reservist who sprinted after Mr. Woodham, said the student's first words concerned the principal's recent order of a pizza.
Mr. Myrick, who was armed with his own automatic handgun, said that after he forced Mr. Woodham to lie on the ground and had his foot on Mr. Woodham's neck, the student's first words were, ''Oh, Mr. Myrick, I'm the one that gave you the discount on the pizza the other night.''
''I said, 'What? Why did you do this to my kids?' '' Mr. Myrick continued. ''And he said, 'Mr. Myrick, I've been wronged. The world has wronged me and I just couldn't take it anymore.' ''
Mr. Dodson said 150 to 200 of the school's 1,039 students were absent today, significantly higher than the average of 50 absences on a normal day. Although armed police officers patrolled the campus, several students acknowledged being anxious.
''It's frightening that there might still be more people out there and you don't know what's going to happen,'' said Gonzalo Vizuete, 18. ''There are rumors that it might happen again, that someone might finish what they started.''

2 Kettlebell Workouts for Full-Body Power and Strength
I've got two fresh and FUN kettlebell workouts for you this week!
(Sidenote: I've learned that my definition of fun is sometimes different than other people's).
In all honestly I love to experiment with new equipment, but I always find myself coming back to one thing: kettlebells.
Kettlebells are like a secret weapon for wrapping strength, cardio, core, and stability all into one sweaty sitting. Efficient and effective... a Type A person's dream.
Anywho, let's get rolling with these workouts. Do them on separate days OR pair them if you have time (and energy).
Kettlebell Circuit 1
Complete 4 rounds of 8-10 reps - see video below
1. Kettlebell Swing
Drive from the glutes and hips, keep core and lats engaged at all times.
2. Single Arm Row
Keep a neutral spine with back almost parallel to the floor. Pull the kettlebell up to your armpit keeping your elbow in tight. Fight to keep hips and shoulders square to the floor.
3. Figure 8 Squat
Pass the Bell through your legs in a figure 8 fashion. Keep core engaged and drive from your glutes each time you stand up.
4. Halo
Hello, shoulders. Wrap the bell around your head, staying low towards your shoulders. Do 8-10 each direction on this one.
5. Floor Press
Lay flat on the floor, with knees bent and KB in one arm. Drive the kettlebell up toward the ceiling so your arm ends up straight over the mid-line of your chest.
Kettlebell Circuit 2
Complete 4 rounds of 8-10 reps - see video below
1. KB Clean
Drive from the hips and glutes while rotating your wrist to turn the bell. Keep the bell close to your body like a T-Rex trying to zip up a jacket (yes, this is a real cue I use). This is not an upper body exercise, though your bicep and shoulder will assist a little.
2. Windmill
Try this a few times without weight before jumping in. Start with arm straight overhead, pack your shoulder into the socket, and slightly bend your opposite knee. Hinge forward and down until your hand reaches your foot. ALWAYS keep your eye on the weight when it's overhead.
3. Goblet Squat
Much simpler than the first two! Sit back into that chair, power through the heals and keep that core engaged.
4. Single Arm Press
Start off in the half kneeling position with the bell at your shoulder. Keep your elbow in as you press up overhead. Find stability from the core with this offset position.
5. Offset Front Lunge
Hold the bell at your side and step with the opposite leg. Avoid letting your shoulder drop or hips twist. Keep everything up tall.

Hello hello!
I really like making comics but I also really like reading them. And I'd noticed that I'd stopped reading as much and was only working on making my own comics, which sounds pretty great and is! But I'd been feeling pretty down and uninspired by my work and I realised it was because I'd been putting out but hadn't been taking in. So for the last couple of months I've been trying to read more again and I've been feeling much better. As an encouragement to continue this dedicating-time-to-read, I'm going to start a regular bi-monthly post about the comics I've read.
First up (in no particular order):
1. Secret Coders by Gene Luen Yang and Mike Holmes
This is probably one of my favourite new YA series (there are currently 2 books out in the series, with a third released this month). I've always been interested in math and programming patterns but never really had a head for it at school and quickly would get frustrated with anyone trying to teach it to me. But reading this book made me realise what was going on: I was a visual learner and my teachers weren't always using the visual cues that helped me understand the problems.
What I really like about Secret Coders is that they explain a programming puzzle two ways: once in just dialogue and then visually (two different characters who think differently explain it to the reader in the different ways). It's written in a way that doesn't talk down to the reader and you are encouraged to try to figure out the puzzle first before turning the page to find out the answer at the end of each chapter. I really really enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone!
For those who love: binary, sassy teens & robots.
2. Hotel Strange: Wake Up, Spring by Katherine & Florian Ferrier
This Bande Desinee style comic was a really fun read. Cute characters going on rad adventures through a semi-magical world meeting fantastical creatures. It's the kind of book I would have gotten obsessed over as a kid and I can't wait to locate and and read the whole series of books.
Also how good is the name Florian?!
For those who love: exciting adventures, fanatical creatures & pipes.
3. The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil by Stephen Collins
I wasn't sure at all which way this book was going to go before I started reading it. In fact, I wasn't sure which was it was going to go while I was reading it either. But the loose rhyming couplets style of narration and soft pencil markings lured me into this intriguing meditation on conformity or society or something like that. I enjoyed it even though I probably didn't understand the finer points of it.
For those who love: beards, poetry & untidiness.
4. The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg
The second book by Isabel Greenberg, The One Hundred Nights of Hero, is another love letter to storytelling and folklore. Greenberg just has this knack for creating new folkloresque tales in her own made-up universe that feel both new and old at the same time. One Hundred Nights interviews stories of the past and present and takes you on a rambling adventure that ties it all back together neatly at the end.
For those who love: stories, brave women & deliciously inky drawings.
5. Plumdog by Emma Chichester Clark
Originally an online blog written from the point of view of Plum (an adorable dog), Plumdog is cute and easy to read. It was a very pleasant read but I have to admit it was hard for me personally to get through because ever since our family dog passed away last year my urges for wanting a puppy pal to hang out with have been growing. Unfortunately my partner Owen is super duper allergic to pretty much everything and getting a dog while living in a small city apartment without a backyard is really not feasible.
For those who love: dogs, watercolours and more dogs.
6. Oishinbo by Tetsu Kariya & Akira Hanasaki
I've tried to get into manga before but, like superhero comics, I've just not been exposed to the right one for me and don't really know what to look for in the shops. I'd kinda given up on finding that perfect manga for me until I was recommended Oishinbo by my studio-mate Greg. It cut from fairly dialogue-heavy scenes explaining the intricacies of Japanese-style food preparation and culture to intensive family drama sequences.
For those who love: fine food, dramatic manga & bad father-son relationships.
Anyway, those are some things I read over the past two months. I can't wait to read through the pile of comics next to my bed.
What have you been reading lately? Any recommendations?

We headed along to Lauriston Castle at Davidson Mains on Friday to check out what all the fuss was about cause apparently some Dinosaurs have arrived. As you walk down towards the castle, you can see the massive T-Rex on the left – Wow, it is massive and loud. My two are older 6 and 8, but I did wonder how the younger ones would fair, it's pretty loud and big – Well when we were there the boys who were toddlers were all roaring back at it – So funny!
We walked around the grounds reading all the information panels about the different dinosaurs and I only got 3 right – I thought I was pretty good on dinosaurs, obviously I was kidding myself. The boys were laughing at me. And then you have the whole, how do you pronouce that then' conversation. I didn't win at that either, but who knows maybe I am right and they are all wrong – how do we even know what they are called, people weren't around then to name them!!
It was freezing cold and I would say, that was the only downside of it – the kids loved the fact that some of the dinosaurs were there for you to climb on and eggs for you to play around in.
The boys thought it was fun despite the weather, dress for the weather cause there is no where to hide it's all outside – and have fun. I'd love to hear what you think. For kids that are into dinosaurs, I would say you'd be onto a winner.
Also it's on street parking, so be prepared for a little bit of a walk.

WCRA To Bring First $1 Million Rodeo To Chicago
– 2019 $6 MILLION Rodeo SERIES DEBUTS IN THE WINDY CITY One NIGHT ONLY
World Champions Rodeo Alliance (WCRA) in collaboration with Professional Bull Riders (PBR) is pleased to announce that Chicago will play host to the first WCRA $1 Million Major Rodeo in the 2019 series. For the first time in history, world-class rodeo will storm Chicago when 81 of the world's top rodeo athletes will compete in WCRA's Windy City Roundup at Allstate Arena on Friday, January 11.
The one-night, $1 million rodeo will be held in conjunction with the PBR's January 12-13 Elite-Tour event, creating a full weekend of western lifestyle sports in one of the world's largest mainstream markets.
Following the November 15-18 WCRA Semi-Finals at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, the top nine cowboys and cowgirls in each event will go head-to-head at the Windy City Roundup. Contestants in eight events—bareback riding, women's breakaway roping, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding—will compete for their piece of the $1 million purse. Athletes in each discipline—including both headers and heelers in the team roping event—will compete for more than $111,000, with the champions walking away with $50,000 each.
"We launched WCRA with a goal to grow the sport of rodeo with large-payout events, greater media exposure, and exposing rodeo to major markets," said WCRA President Bobby Mote. "This announcement fulfills all of those objectives, and we couldn't be more excited about exposing our great sport of rodeo, alongside the PBR, in the third-largest market in the U.S."
A first of its kind, the WCRA Major Event Series will dish out $6 million to contestants in 2019, including four $1 million rodeos. The 2019 series also will feature a $500,000 semi-finals before each major, which will provide an additional $2 million in prize money. Qualifying for this series will be based purely on performance and on series points, rather than dollars won, through a new world-ranking points system.
"PBR is a staple in Chicago, a market known to be passionate about exciting sports. As our Chicago fan base grows, we've added a rodeo to our popular signature Windy City event," said Sean Gleason, CEO, PBR. "We have a successful history of pairing a PBR premier series event with rodeo in places like AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and we believe the concept will work as well in Chicago, where the appetite for western sports continues to grow."
In early February, PBR and WCRA announced a collaboration to jointly produce, market, and promote rodeo events in an effort to expand television and digital coverage of the sport, build the profiles of the world's best rodeo athletes, and grow the sport's fan base. All WCRA events will be broadcast live on RidePass, the definitive source on western sports and lifestyle, which delivers fans the most entertaining, authentic, and accessible western sports experience in the world.
Tickets for the two-day PBR event as well as the Windy City Roundup on Friday, Jan. 11 starting at 7 p.m. go on sale Tuesday, October 30th and start at $10. All tickets for the event can be purchased at Allstate Arena Box Office or by calling Ticketmaster 1-800-745-3000 or going online at Ticketmaster.com. Combination tickets for the WCRA and PBR events will be available through PBR Rewards as well.

This book offers the first systematic theoretical and empirical analysis of Muslim citizens' EU attitudes in and outside the European Union. Using the best empirical data available, the book demonstrates that Muslim citizens' attitudes are not shaped by their denomination and religious beliefs, but by material and political considerations. It finds that Muslims are most favourable toward the EU due to their positive experiences in European contexts, whereas in contrast, Muslim citizens outside the EU are more skeptical toward the European Union due to sovereignty concerns and the lack of support from the EU and its member states. Such findings not only contribute to the research on social legitimacy of international organizations and international public opinion more generally, but also provide important suggestions for (European) policy makers regarding external and domestic policies…"Visit External Site

MMIW tribute ignites spark in DHS students

A class project to explore the movement to find justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Canada has helped DHS students realize a deeper cultural connection and emerge stronger.
Kirston Carpenter, Destiny Derouin and Shaylyn Lands — students in Mr. Wilkinson's Social Justice and Equity class — say that they often stepped out of their comfort zones in their efforts to raise awareness throughout the school for the issues surrounding MMIW.
A striking row of red dresses is suspended across the entrance hall of the Dryden High School, emblematic of artist Jaime Black's REDress Project and its association with the MMIW cause.
"We hoped it would have an effect on people — it's symbolic of our lost sisters," said Kirston Carpenter.
All around the school, posters tell the story of regional women and girls, some no older than the students themselves, like Azraya Ackabee Kokopenace (14) and Delaine Copenace (16), whose lives were lost in recent years.
On Friday, hundreds of students gathered in the gym for a round dance with drummers and singers and a feast to cap off a week of solemn remembrance and contemplation.
For some, like Carpenter, the cause is painfully personal as she describes the gnawing dread of not knowing whether a close family member is safe when they're 'off the charts'.
"It really hits home for me," said Carpenter.
From borrowing piles of red dresses, to collaborating with art classes to make posters and reaching out to the Friendship Centre to arrange a feast and find some drummers/singers, the students say they grew a lot over the project.
"We talked to a lot of people, got a lot of exposure on the Internet, got out of our comfort zones," said Carpenter. "She (Destiny Derouin) can't usually speak in front of the class and she just spoke in front of a hundred people. When we first initiated this project we thought that it was too much."
"We were just going to do a walk to raise awareness," said Derouin. "But we went in much deeper. We made banners, and we talked to a lot of people. We put a lot of effort into it and it feels really good. We put the thought in people's heads and that's what counts for us."

BOSTON — It was the perfect road game.
The Rangers took advantage of a Bruins team that was coming off an emotional victory by scoring first, then holding on after Boston awoke suddenly and emphatically from its slumber. Their 1-0 victory Saturday will stand as one of the Rangers' signature games of the 2010-11 campaign.
"The team was outstanding in front of me," said an exhausted but happy Henrik Lundqvist, who played his 400th N.H.L. game and 20th in a row, and recorded his league-leading 11th shutout of the season.
The rookie Derek Stepan was beaming. He scored the only goal — his 20th of the season, "something I'm proud of," he said — by deflecting Michael Sauer's shot from the blue line past Boston goalie Tuukka Rask.
Stepan's goal came just 6 minutes 39 seconds into the game, and Lundqvist and the rest of the Rangers made it stand up for their eighth victory in the last 10 games (8-1-1).
It was easy enough for the first 40 minutes, because the Bruins were pancake-flat after a 7-0 win over archrival Montreal on Thursday night. But it was hard over the final 20, when the Bruins unleashed a withering attack.Continue reading the main story
Yet the Rangers persevered, and their record with a second-intermission lead is now 27-0-0 as they took one more step toward a playoff berth with just six games left in the regular season.
Consider the third-period statistics.
The Rangers were outshot by Boston, 12-1. They blocked an additional 18 shots, led by Brian Boyle's four and Dan Girardi's three. In all, the Bruins attempted 34 third-period shots, while the Rangers took 7.
The 6-foot-9 defenseman Zdeno Chara loomed at the blue line, firing away as the Bruins tried to equalize, but the Rangers blocked five of his shots, and a sixth sailed high. Boyle, Ryan Callahan, Bryan McCabe, Marc Staal and Ruslan Fedotenko took the brunt of Chara's barrage; Chara holds the N.H.L.'s record for the hardest shot, at 105.9 miles per hour.
"We blocked shot after shot," Coach John Tortorella said. "We gave them squat the first two periods. The third period they ramped it up on us. Hank made a couple of great saves at key times. We played the right way."
Lundqvist turned aside all 26 shots he faced in his 22nd game against Boston, and kept intact his record of never allowing more than three goals to the Bruins.
The 11 shutouts by Lundqvist this season are the most by a Ranger since 1928-29, when John Ross Roach had 13. And it surpassed the 10-shutout goal Lundqvist set for himself at the start of the season.
"There's no way I would be here with 11 shutouts without the way we've been playing as a team," he said.
The Rangers also paid the physical price against a Bruins team with several bruising players. At various points, Lundqvist, Stepan, Wojtek Wolski and Vinny Prospal were doubled over after taking a hit. But each recovered quickly and finished the game.
"The same spot in the neck," Lundqvist said of a second-period collision with Patrice Bergeron that aggravated the sore neck he sustained on March 18 against Montreal. "Probably just put me back to where I was a week ago, but it's nothing I can't deal with right now."
Stepan called it "a good road win, exactly the way you want to do it." He has struggled on face-offs this season; Tortorella called him "godawful" in that department and cited his 2-for-13 performance in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss to Ottawa.
But after getting instruction from coaches at practice on Friday, Stepan won 8 of 12 against the Bruins, including the one that immediately preceded his goal.
"On the goal, Vinny steps in and helps out," Stepan said, referring to Prospal's swooping in to capture the loose puck right after the draw. "For a guy to step in and win a draw for you makes your job a lot easier."
It was the Rangers' 23rd road win of the season, the most since they had 24 in 1993-94.Continue reading the main story

Hebrews 11v1-6; 32-40
As Hebrews states, faith is the substance of anticipated things, the conviction about things not yet visible. Faith becomes a type of vision that we have about the future. As Christians, we have faith in Jesus that points towards a future free from wars, religion, countries, pain, sin, suffering, and death. However, it can be easy to become cynical and angry when facing unfixable situations. Yet, God calls us to have peace and gentleness. As Christians, to follow in faith, is to remember the story that we live in.

- What questions and comments did you have about the sermon and supporting texts?
- When you encounter difficult or painful situations, what story do you usually dwell in?
- When you hear the story of God that Paul portrays in this sermon, is it difficult to believe?
Hebrews 11v1-2
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
- How you live now is completely determined by your vision of the future. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
- As Christians, to follow in faith, is to remember the story that we live in. We imagine the world not as it is but as God says it will be. What is the Christian story? What do we imagine the future to be?
- Read Hebrews 11v32-38. The 'interpretive key' to this passage is the division in verse 35. How do the people at the top of the list differ from those on the bottom? Name some biblical characters or modern day examples of those on the top of the list (vv. 32-35a). Name some examples of those on the bottom of the list (vv. 35b-38).
- If your understanding of faith conceptually ends in verse 35a; if you understand faith as, "If you try hard enough and if you believe enough, you can overcome anything," you are setting yourself up for disaster. Why?
Hebrews 11v35
Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection.
- What is the better resurrection?
"The greatest challenge of the book of Hebrews is to cultivate such a deep and satisfying relationship with God that we rest in him whether living or dying, whether comfortable or miserable. The great challenge of the book of Hebrews is to cultivate the unshakeable confidence that God himself is better than anything life can give us or that death can take away from us."
- What is the difference between trusting in God and trusting in your agenda for God? If you were to honestly analyze your prayer life which dynamic would be most apparent? How could that begin to change?
Romans 8v22-26
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved…In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
- To become a Christian is to receive the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is the "firstfruits" (down payment or first installment) of the future redemption of the universe come into your life. The real life changing dynamic of Christianity is an experience within oneself of the presence of the future.
- How can you and those close to you encourage each other to have faith in difficult situations?
God of hope, you gave your Son to free a lost world. You give your Spirit to comfort and encourage. You give us hope for a future free of pain, sorrow, and tears. You promise us a future with you. In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, let us strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God's new heaven and new earth, praying: Come, Lord Jesus!

Our dentures will give you a reason to smile! At Sioux Center Dental, we offer two types of dentures for our patients.
The first type is a traditional denture. This type of denture works great for some patients and not so great for others. After all of your teeth have been removed, a denture is specially made to fit your mouth. We customize everything from the size of the teeth to the fit of the bite. The final denture fits by being adapted to your tissues in such a way that it forms a natural suction to stay in place.
The second type of denture is an implant denture. Implant dentures are leaps and bounds better than traditional dentures because they do not move and flop around your mouth like traditional dentures are known to do. Implant dentures are actually attached to implants in your bone and gums. The dentures are custom fitted to snap into place and attach to the implants. They can still be removed to be cleaned, but they are far more stable than the traditional option. This makes biting, chewing and talking much easier.
If you are interested in seeing if either of our denture options are a fit for your needs, contact our office today!

Aintree's MD, Julian Thick had little choice but to put some Mandelson-class spin on the 20% drop in entries for the 2012 John Smith's Grand National. It's rare for fewer than the maximum of 40 to line up at the tape for "The World's Greatest Race" and the interest generated by that cavalry charge towards the first should not be underestimated. You needn't be an experienced punter to know that 20 tons of thoroughbred galloping at 30+ MPH on 160 legs makes for a dramatic and potentially profitable spectacle when challenged by 30 unique fences and four and a half miles.
The last time there was such a small initial entry – 1996 – (there are several stages before horses are allocated a place in the National – it is almost always over-subscribed come the eve of the race), only 27 horses faced the starter – there were 17 finishers led by Rough Quest.
Rough Quest's owner Andrew Wates won £142,000 from total prize money of £230,000. The 2012 prize money fund for the race is £975,000. This year's winning owner is likely to be richer by £550,000 or more. So prize money fuels the case for as many owners as possible wishing to run – it could be that the max of 40 is reached again. (Long Run, 2011 winner of the most prestigious prize in steeplechasing, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, earned his owner £285,000).
Natural fallout through the general setbacks affecting National horses between entry and raceday will play their part; it remains to be seen how significant that wastage will be and on that figure the Aintree exec will try and build future plans. One significant obstacle they face is their tendency to try and tweak the safety aspect after each running of the race – a laudable policy but one which tends to 'raise the bar' each time for potential future entries.
The quality of entrants is increasing. The cost of running on the day (£900 to enter then opting to remain in through various entry stages) is now £4,600.
The handicapper for the Grand National has a policy of trying to attract quality horses, an approach he justifies by arguing that it is such a special test. That means that the better horses are favourably treated and carry less weight than they would in a normal steeplechase run under the same conditions on a different track. The fruit of this preferential seed-sowing seems to be blooming: no winner in the past three years has carried under 11 stones – the last time that three-in-a-row weight stat happened was in the mid 1950s.
An official handicap rating (OR), expressed in numbers, (higher signifying better) is awarded to all racehorses early in their careers and adjusted on the basis of performance. For more than 90% of the Grand Nationals run, no minimum OR has been taken into consideration. But now the minimum rating to qualify for entry is 120 – up from 110 last year. For the first time in the history of the race (first run in 1839) horses below the age of 7 do not qualify to run and, horses must have been placed 4th or better in a 'chase over 3 miles of further.
These criteria automatically rule out many potential entrants. The cost of running is a further drawback, especially as the risk-reward ratio diminishes with each highly rated horse that wins.
Aintree's exec will now need to sweat it out. If significantly fewer than 40 go to post and, critically, if the winner carries 11 stones or more, the powers that be will know that some back-pedalling on race conditions is essential. Given safety concerns and the changes made in pursuit of these, there might be no way back.
For many years Aintree has wanted a high-class race, a contest for the elite. The message from 2012 could easily spin out as . . . "Be careful what you wish for"

In discerning operational requirements, the conceptual difficulties of military science occur. If there is not rigorous thinking at this level, neither technology nor money can help.
—Sir Michael Howard
Today's senior defense leaders can't get enough innovation. The United States National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, and the U.S. military service strategies all stress the capacity for innovation as an American comparative advantage. Clearly, there is great demand for military professionals who can innovate. But what does innovation look like in a peacetime or interwar military? How is it done?
Analyzing the development of the German and British air forces between the world wars reveals the importance of crafting strategy, identifying associated requirements, and marshaling the required resources to turn requirements into capabilities.
In his book Winning the Next War, Stephen Peter Rosen offers an answer: innovators in a peacetime military must formulate "a new theory of victory, an explanation of what the next war will look like."[1] To innovate for an uncertain future, political leaders and military strategists must prioritize threats, then formulate sets of options vis-à-vis the most significant threats. Because war must always be thought of as an instrument of policy, military innovation must be guided by a coherent strategy or at least a sense of what is politically desirable and feasible.[2] With an understanding of acceptable options, government and military professionals can work with industry and academia to define requirements and pursue relevant technology. Analyzing the development of the German and British air forces between the world wars reveals the importance of crafting strategy, identifying associated requirements, and marshaling the required resources to turn requirements into capabilities.
Factors beyond the state's control often drive technological requirements. Structural factors demanding innovative responses include the technological progress of potential enemies and of civil society, as well as shifts in the state's own geopolitical circumstances. Yet the task of responding to these structural factors—of translating the state's desired security ends into military technological means—requires an intentional, collaborative, human effort.
Contrasting these two air forces will illustrate how the grand strategies of the two states shaped military innovation during the interwar years.
Successful strategy is not simply handed down from on high; likewise, military innovation does not emerge from some laboratory in finished, war-ready form. The cases of interwar Germany and Great Britain feature individuals and teams with different political aims, military proclivities, and technological interests shaping strategy and innovation through a process of debate, bargaining, and experimentation.[3] Strategic innovators must engage in this messy, interdisciplinary process if they hope to develop and integrate new military technology.
The development of specific airpower capabilities in Germany and Britain during the interwar years illustrates this role of strategic innovators as "system builders" and doctrine entrepreneurs who brave the gauntlets of government bureaucracy, industry, and academia to turn theory into capabilities.[4] System builders in both nations prioritized requirements for airpower, steering technology in the directions their strategies demanded. The aircraft of the age serve as "crystallized moments of past human vision," artifacts of the strategies that produced them.[5] Contrasting these two air forces will illustrate how the grand strategies of the two states shaped military innovation during the interwar years.
Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries was a growing land power surrounded by potential adversaries. These structural factors presented an enduring requirement to generations of Prussian and German strategists: the need to quickly seize territory, thereby securing a flank (or at least room to maneuver) at the outset of a conflict. The Germans responded by developing doctrine and capabilities to seek and win decisive land battles through mission command, maneuver, and concentration.[6] This continuity in German strategic thinking can be traced from Clausewitz to Helmuth von Moltke (the Elder) in the 19th century, to Alfred von Schlieffen and his infamous mobilization plan, to Reichswehr chief of staff Hans von Seeckt in the interwar period. Therefore, a new means of rapid army advance held great appeal to military-minded Germans in the 1920s and 1930s, especially after the stagnant slaughter of World War I. So, to understand the Luftwaffe, one must study the German Army.
The Luftwaffe never seriously prepared for a strategic air campaign against Britain. This kind of mission was alien to the Luftwaffe's nature.
The German Army experienced a revolution in military affairs during the interwar period, as the Prusso-German strategic culture converged with army officer Heinz Guderian's operational innovations and Adolf Hitler's expansionist aims. A motivated infantry and communications officer transplanted into the Motorized Transport Corps, Guderian sought out the latest writings from Britain, where theorists J.F.C. Fuller and B.H. Liddell Hart had spurred investment in mechanized warfare.[7] Guderian became a system builder, developing and popularizing armored operations in the 1920s and early 1930s as Germany began secretly building new tanks. Despite organizational resistance from the army itself, Guderian and a like-minded minority of officers built an innovative, yet distinctly Prussian armor doctrine that would become central to the Wehrmacht way of fighting in World War II.
Meanwhile, as Hitler rose to power in the early 1930s, he perceived France, Poland, and the Soviet Union as Germany's primary strategic threats.[8] France was the most militarily powerful state in Europe from the end of World War I until Germany's resurgence under Hitler and maintained a heavy presence on the French-German border.[9] On the other hand, Hitler conflated neighboring Poland and Slavic Russia with the imagined worldwide Jewish conspiracy central to his "long-established and unchanging ideological convictions."[10] Nazi Germany was bound to invade Poland and the Soviet Union at some point.
To summarize, interwar Germany continued a strategic culture based on seeking the decisive battle, and Hitler had little trouble picking out enemies. With these continental adversaries in mind, Hitler enthusiastically supported Guderian and the emerging combined-arms doctrine journalists and others would later term "Blitzkrieg." By 1940, the German Army could base its offensive against France on a main effort using 10 Panzer divisions, led by Guderian, and supported by an innovative new brand of airpower.[11]
How had this German airpower developed? The 1919 Treaty of Versailles forbade rearmament, limited the German Army to 100,000 soldiers, and dissolved their air force.[12] Given this imposed force posture, yet cognizant of the growing value of military aviation, Hans von Seeckt took several measures to secretly develop the nucleus of the future Luftwaffe. He championed the rapid growth of German civil aviation.[13] He also hid a core group of aviation officers in his army general staff, some of whom set up a secret military flying training program in Russia during a temporary thaw in German-Russian relations in the late 1920s.[14] The army von Seeckt rebuilt was "the most air-minded of the major armies" at the time—despite Germany's ostensible lack of an air force.[15] These factors set the stage for the Luftwaffe's rapid development in the 1930s.
The primary requirement for airpower in Germany's new combined-arms scheme was to strike critical targets just ahead of the army's advance. Though the nascent Luftwaffe had espoused some strategic bombing rhetoric, Wolfram von Richthofen (cousin to Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron of World War I fame), emerged in the late 1930s as a successful doctrine entrepreneur for combined arms, air interdiction, and an early version of close air support. Leading the famed Condor Legion in support of General Francisco Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Richthofen consistently disrupted the opposition's rear-area communications and logistics using Luftwaffe dive-bombers. On the other hand, level-bombing against more distant targets provided fewer benefits, if any, to Franco's campaign.[16]
With the Condor Legion experience in mind, Richthofen continued to advocate for tactical airpower upon his return to Germany, leading a buildup of attack squadrons.[17] The menacing Ju-87 Stuka dive-bomber would become the avatar of German interwar airpower innovation. This darling of the Luftwaffe leadership sported dive brakes to enhance its controllability and accuracy during the attack, and an outboard air-driven siren for increased psychological effect.[18] The innovative Stuka devastated critical targets ahead of German mechanized advances into Poland, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and France in 1939 and 1940.
Of course, the Luftwaffe boasted more than just Stukas, and other technological aspects of the force further emphasize its continental character. The Luftwaffe's primary fighter was the Messerschmitt Bf 109. The Bf 109 was well-armed, fast, and maneuverable, but its limitations are telling.[19] Designed for localized air superiority and sweeps ahead of advancing ground forces, the Bf 109's limited fuel capacity would become a significant issue during cross-Channel raids against Britain.[20] This design feature indicates a breakdown in civil-military dialogue—a mismatch between Luftwaffe requirements for localized superiority, and Hitler's limitless appetite for conquest.
Beyond the Stuka and the 109, the Nazis produced a number of serviceable two-engine bomber types. The Luftwaffe also commissioned a few four-engine strategic bomber prototypes, but production was problematic and expensive. As Reich Aviation Minister and overseer of German rearmament in the late 1930s, Hermann Goering chose to build greater quantities of medium bombers instead.[21] He and the other managers of the Nazi command economy set up their aircraft industry to produce large numbers of small aircraft, quickly—perfect for a short, decisive, continental war.[22]
The German theory of victory and its technology were innovative, but military innovation must align with a state's grand strategy. If a state intends to be an aggressor, identifying threats and requirements becomes simpler, and the state should be able to perfect its technology for the campaign.
Professor Barry Posen suggests the Luftwaffe never seriously prepared for a strategic air campaign against Britain.[23] This kind of mission was alien to the Luftwaffe's nature. The German military's combined-arms scheme made it the preeminent land force in the world at the time; it quickly conquered large swaths of Europe. Nevertheless, the Luftwaffe could not keep pace with Hitler's unlimited political aims; it seems Hitler and his military leadership had failed to establish a shared understanding of "the kind of war on which they were embarking."[24] The German theory of victory and its technology were innovative, but military innovation must align with a state's grand strategy. If a state intends to be an aggressor, identifying threats and requirements becomes simpler, and the state should be able to perfect its technology for the campaign. What becomes more difficult in such a case, however, are the challenges of keeping strategic aims realistic, as well as planning for sustainment and potential contingencies.
Great Britain
The case of Great Britain further illuminates strategy's role in interwar airpower innovation. Especially in democratic governments, political and military leaders shape defense policy and acquisitions through dialogue and bargaining.[25] Though this process is often messy and contentious, it also helps keep military means aligned with political ends.
Air Marshal Hugh Trenchard, Britain's Chief of the Air Staff from 1919 to 1930, strove to develop the Royal Air Force (RAF) for strategic bombing. Like many at the time, Trenchard believed the combined destructive and psychological effects of strategic bombing would cripple an enemy's industry and logistics while causing social upheaval.[26] In his zeal for building a bomber force, Trenchard advocated against purchasing pursuit aircraft, even after his retirement in 1930. But the RAF airmen who followed in the mid-1930s, chiefly Air Marshal Hugh Dowding, along with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, Minister for the Coordination of Defence Thomas Inskip, and Chamberlain's eventual successor—a hawkish Member of Parliament named Winston Churchill—all recognized the need for more advanced fighters to defend the island nation against a resurgent Germany.
Despite its strategic bombing origins, the RAF claimed its place in history as a defensive force in the Battle of Britain. A strategy for survival, dependent upon airpower, aligned the efforts of Britain's government, military, and industry.
Churchill had fallen out of the British political mainstream by the early 1930s, due in part to his frequent calls for robust national defense and his blunt pronouncements regarding the German threat—unpopular positions in a society still recovering from World War I. Yet, Churchill would be vindicated as Germany rearmed and Hitler's belligerence became clear.[27] In particular, "the marriage of airpower to overall German technical, industrial, and military capabilities created a British vulnerability to direct attack of an order that had not been perceived for several hundred years."[28] In response to this threat, Britain's own rearmament programs gained political favor and resources, attracting some of the best minds from government, industry, and academia.
Inskip, a career bureaucrat, was entrusted with allocating funds for national defense beginning in March 1936, and he decided to purchase even more fighters than the RAF itself had requested. Inskip's stated intent was to ensure Britain could "repulse a knock-out blow within the first few weeks, trusting thereafter to defeat the enemy by a process of exhaustion, resulting from our command at sea."[29] Cost-benefit analyses also supported Inskip's choice: fighters were cheaper and easier to produce than bombers. Britain's industry, combined with substantial Lend-Lease war materiel from the United States, could sustain and replace fighter fleets through a long war if Britain could survive Germany's initial assault.[30]
Air Marshal Dowding's new Fighter Command raised its flag in July 1936. Dowding was a system-builder, a longtime advocate of fighter aviation in the bomber-dominated RAF. After standing up Fighter Command, Dowding wasted no time in building up a complex, resilient network of observers and command-and-control nodes that could vector his fighters to intercept enemy aircraft. Yet, we might never have heard of the Dowding System were it not for British civilians' development of a new technology that revolutionized air defense.
A government-funded research team led by scientist Robert Watson-Watt developed the vital new radio direction-finding technology (later, radar, for radio detection and ranging), which Dowding would integrate into the air defense system over the next few years.[31] Watson-Watt's work was underwritten by Henry Tizard, president and rector of Imperial College London, who headed a government committee directing air defense research.[32] Radar represents the synergy that is possible when government, academia, and industry align to find defense solutions.
Of course, an effective air defense network must not only detect inbound attackers but intercept them. To this end, the RAF's market of defense suppliers fashioned numerous fighter types, two of which would become the icons of the Battle of Britain. Sydney Camm and the engineers at Hawker produced the rugged Hurricane, an evolution of earlier fighters. The Hurricane's simple design made it easy to mass-produce, operate, maintain, and rearm in a hurry.[33] Meanwhile, Supermarine's chief designer Reginald Mitchell created a revolutionary, highly-effective, and by all accounts glamorous fighter in the elliptical-winged Spitfire. A match for any fighter produced in the interwar period, the Spitfire's design was "so brilliant and so advanced" that "it was the only Allied aircraft to be in the front line when the war began and on the day it ended," having defeated many a Messerschmitt in the interval.[34]
Directed by the innovative Dowding System, pilots of the iconic Spitfire and her working-class cousin, the Hurricane, denied the Luftwaffe air superiority over the English Channel, making a German invasion untenable.
So, despite its strategic bombing origins, the RAF claimed its place in history as a defensive force in the Battle of Britain.

Summary and Implications
Interwar Germany and Britain prioritized different security requirements, and therefore developed different air power capabilities, with varying degrees of success. Germany developed a world-class air-ground team, whose aircraft and aviators supported their army's advance to the very Western edge of the continent. Beyond that edge, Hitler found the Luftwaffe lacking. Or more fairly, Hitler's grandiose strategic aims overshot the Luftwaffe's physical limitations. On the other side of the Channel, the British created two legendary fighter aircraft and a system whose design remains foundational to air defense systems today. Even with such marvels to rely upon, defending Britain cost the RAF dearly, requiring great bravery and sacrifice.
Political and military leaders together must prioritize defense requirements in terms of the state's grand strategy.
Do these historical cases provide any relevant lessons to the contemporary strategist? If this article has emphasized one idea, it is the Clausewitzian imperative for political and military leaders together to prioritize defense requirements in terms of the state's grand strategy. This can be a herculean task; having military professionals who can articulate a clear, forward-looking vision helps. If statesmen and soldiers together can discern future operational requirements, a military force stands a reasonable chance of marshaling the state's brain power and resources to innovate defense solutions.
Motivated military personnel have historically played central roles in driving defense innovations forward.[35] Guderian, Richthofen, and Dowding provide three examples from the interwar period, and military officers must continue to serve as "system builders" today. It is not the system builder's role to invent the next game-changing weapon, nor does one have to be a visionary to be an innovator. Richthofen did not invent the Stuka, nor did its utility appear to him in a dream. He put the new aircraft to the test, and it proved to be the answer to operational requirements. Dowding did not invent the radar; he recognized its potential and led the effort to integrate it into Britain's air defenses. Today, just as in the interwar era, military professionals must discuss operational challenges with government, industry, and academia, recognize good ideas when they see them, and figure out how to integrate new capabilities.[36]
Opportunities abound for these discussions and partnerships, from traditional military research, training, and education venues, to newer constructs including DIUx, the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum, and defense-focused new media. For a less structured setting, the author recommends any pub that pours a proper stout—let the bar-napkin diagrams fly. Whatever the medium, strategists, soldiers, and civilians must prioritize national security threats and soberly identify military challenges, in order to develop relevant innovations.
Posen found that in the battles of 1940 in Western Europe, "Each battle was won by the side that had prepared for it."[37] This advantage is not reserved for the aggressor. Britain managed to innovate crucial new tools—the Dowding System and the fighters that gave it teeth—despite its myriad international concerns and its limited appetite for armed conflict. A state does not have to desire war to effectively formulate requirements, marshal resources, and attract the necessary talent to turn new theories of victory into capabilities that can deliver it.

I kan haz followerz?
I have discovered the blog has new Followers, as indicated at the bottom of the page.
I want to give big shout and a thank you to "Violet," of the Lemonade Stand, who has been a follower attached for some time, and has the distinction of being the first DrawingIn reader that I did not know personally. And she has been a regular visitor. Writing that made me feel neglectful, so I popped by to see video of the now not-so-baby.
There are new followers now, and this almost constitutes... a following.
I added the visit counter some time ago as well. Don't believe it for a moment; it counts me. It is not supposed to count me, but I know that it does, so 15,000 visits in the past year is grossly overinflated. I should try to fix it, but I didn't know there was a following. 2 new followers this week, and it is almost a Movement.
that's the Group W Bench.
Only in the Drawing In Room do we serve up such an ankle-deep photo reference.
I had a Google Reader subscription for a while. But it was Buggy in IE6, and I couldn't find the unsubscribe, so I just left it alone. I do follow a few blogs, but not in the public "I am a Follower" way that my Followers have chosen. See how I just said My Followers, all causal, like everyone has them?
see me.... feel meee.... touch me....
A friend recently launched her blog and asked for some feedback on it. I began a sentence with "The most successful blogs...." what does that even mean? Money making, I guess? High traffic? I look at others' blogs I follow and they have these high traffic numbers, and 50 comments per post, and I think... well, I would probably crack under the pressure anyway. Successful for me is just frequent. entertaining -- for both of us, but I'll be honest - I am never sure what you as a readership will respond to. I hope that what I find interesting, you do too.
I'll apologize to my new followers for their signing on during a period were I seem to be making little sense, and thinking of nothing of consquence beyond how badly The Banana Nut Cheerios product turned out and whether everyone in Pueblo, Colorado has a PO Box.
Sometimes we talk about politics and money and god, the war, people who haveinfluenced our lives, working our programs and taking our inventories, babies and bosses and ViewMaster reels.
And sometimes we just want to laugh at a funny caption on a cat picture. Miss Bender regrets.
Better luck next time.

Congrats on the following. I'm new to all this. So although I read specific blogs, I didn't realise I could be a "follower." I also haven't been posting "comments." But now that I have my own blog, I find this strange myriad of emotions comes up when I can see that people have read...and yet no comments at all. I thought maybe it was a cultural blogging thing where people just don't comment. In any case, it makes me want to put forth a more concerted effort to comment. Consider this a belated "thanks for the blog - good stuff." :-)ReplyDelete

October 13, 2019, 10am-4pm at Ardantane
You are invited to join the staff, faculty, members, and volunteers of Ardantane for a day of reflection, discussion, and creative brainstorming on the future direction of Ardantane. We will begin with an opening ritual, followed by a review of highlights of Ardantane's progress over the past 20 years, and then Amber K's report on the present status of Ardantane. We will discuss the certificate programs, classes, retreats, and other events; the Membership and Volunteer programs; the campus facilities (current and planned), essential fundraising; and more.
As a friend and/or student of Ardantane, your input is vital and welcome. By the end of the day, we will have created the 2017 Goals for Ardantane and a rough plan for achieving them. This is important work.
We will gather in the dome at Ardantane on Sunday, February 11, from 10 am until 4 pm. There's will be a potluck lunch–please bring a dish or beverages to share. Dress casually. There is no charge for this event–indeed, there will be door prizes for all participants! Bring your ideas and your energy, and let's plan another great year for Ardantane.
