Royersford Borough Offers Text/Email Alerts
The borough recently began using a service that allows residents to subscribe for text and email alerts.
In today's technology-oriented world, getting information out faster and to devices that people carry with them is becoming a preferred way to communicate emergency information.
Royersford Borough's Office of Emergency Management, managed by Officer Tom Godin, started using a service called Nixle a few months ago to send out text and e-mail alerts.
Nixle is completely free for subscribers. It also costs the borough nothing to use it, although Godin says they may explore some paid upgrade options in next year's budget if necessary.
All types of alerts can be sent via Nixle.
Godin has used Nixle recently to send out a road closure advisory for the Royersford Halloween parade and a pre-Hurricane Sandy warning notice.
"We wanted to get the information out," said Godin. "Especially in low-lying areas like 1st Avenue, we wanted to warn them to be prepared."
Godin said that sending out alerts like this hopefully helps people get ready for possible problems.
For example, if flooding is expected, Godin said, people who live in those areas should pack a bag and plan to have a place to go.
Godin will be using Nixle to get the word out as Hurricane Sandy approaches over the next few days.
"If necessary, we'll have info on evacuation routes and shelters," Godin said.
Residents can register for Nixle here. Once you sign up, you can search for Royersford and add as many contacts as necessary.
You can also watch the Royersford Borough Office of Emergency Management Facebook page for information.

I was going to sign up by email through nixie. The problem is that my security system for my computer will not allow me to go to a sight that has a problem like that.

Although I still haven't seen SkyFall, the new James Bond flick, I did have the MI-5 to keep me company. No, none of the UK's deadliest spies were here to assassinate me. I'm talking about the MI-5, Musicvox's latest 12-string electric guitar, curiously named after Britain's internal cloak-and-dagger intelligence agency. I can safely say the only thing undercover about this guitar is how its 12 tuners are slyly arranged on its headstock.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario checks out the outrageously compact Space-inator from the folks at Musicvox.

Strawberry Harvest Lager is a wheat beer made with real Louisiana strawberries, picked late in the season when they're at their sweetest. This brew has earned quite a reputation in a short time, causing the brewery to up their production year after year. When this brew is found, emails and phone calls fly to friends informing them of the store's location. Strawberry Harvest is a crisp, light lager with just a hint of strawberry sweetness.

This beer is great for the summer. Very good aroma with a strawbery after taste that is very pleasant. I would recommend this beer to anyone who likes beer but wants something with a little different taste.
They are also located close to home so that's nice as well.

Poured a thin head on a clear, hazy golden colored body.
The aroma is all strawberry jam. The real stuff without the extra sugar.
The taste is a strawberry jam with a bit of lager thrown in. Fairly mild flavor, which in this case is good.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
It is what it is... a strawberry beer. And at that it does a good job.

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.
I know when I think New Orleans, strawberries strike my brain first in association... Anyway, this stuff pours a mostly clear sunrise brass topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose is an adept recreation in liquid of a strawberry-flavored Pop-Tart, crust and all. The taste generally brings more of the same, though there's more of that crust flavor and a touch of berry tartness near the finish, which, oddly enough, seems out of place, given the pervasive feeling of sweetness throughout. It also kinda stabs out, an unnatural lightning. The body is a light medium, with a moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, an okay beer at best, but one that just doesn't quite sit all that well with me. Thankfully, the strawberry flavor isn't truly an artificial one, but it's not altogether pleasant, either.

The brew pours a very pale yellow with a finger of white froth. Some spotty suds of lace stick to the glass and overall the cap shows decent retention. A swirl revives a finger to the surface.
The aroma includes notes of wheat and fresh cereal grains with a subtle addition of seedy strawberry sweetness that gets a bit sugary as it warms up. The strawberry hint is fairly impressive as it adds a nice nuance to the otherwise plain nose.
The flavor is wheaty and cereal-like with a seedy strawberry flavor that is present without having to search for it. This is pleasantly complex with a hint of grassy quality into the finish. A mild sulfur inclusion is the only telling sign of this being a lager. The otherwise strong grain presence makes me think wheat beer.
This is a medium to light bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. It is clean and easy drinking/refreshing. Not something I see myself getting into and buying but it was nice to have a go at and at least say I tried it.

Aroma mild malty with moderate sweet strawberry hints
Taste. Mildly hop front end with little malty middle and a sweet strawberry finish
Mouthfeel smooth with moderate to heavy carbonation
Overall a nice strawberry Lager that balances well with spicy foods like boiled crawfish. But being from Louisiana I may be a little bias

I poured a bottle into a flute glass.
Appearance- Clear, pale gold color with a fingers worth of head. Nice retention with a fair amount of clinging lace.
Smell- Strawberries and wheat malt.
Taste- Wheat malt and strawberry flavors. The strawberry flavor is mellow and not overpowering.
Mouthfeel- Light bodied and slightly creamy. An average amount of carbonation.
Overall- This is one of the better tasting strawberry beers that I have had. Unlike other fruit beers that I've tried, the strawberry flavor is natural tasting and not syrupy or candy-like. Definitely worth trying.

S - MMM...smells just like strawberries. Not much else there. Just sweet strawberries
T - I love the strawberry taste of this beer. Its not overdone at all and it tastes like actual strawberries not something artificial. Abita has found the perfect balance of sweetness, malts, and strawberries for this beer. Excellent job.
M - It is a very light beer. Great carbination as well. Feels smooth and silky.
O - I love this beer. I dont care what others think. I look foward to its release each year. Its an easy drinking beer. Its not overly sweet and the stawberries and done very well in it.

Pours a clear light golden color with a small quickly dissipating head. Smells of strawberries - fresh strawberries, makes me really want to take that first sip.
Once taking that first sip, I instantly pick up a mild sweet strawberry flavor. The strawberries aren't overpowering which is nice and it doesn't taste artificial like some fruit beers do. I guess that's the fact that only "real fresh ingredients" are used in Abita's harvest brews. Other than strawberry pick up hints of wheat and a good amount of carbonation.
The beer is pretty one note, but it's a delicious clean, crisp, mild strawberry note. I could put back a few of these with no problem. Very drinkable.

12oz bottle poured into a lager glass.
A: Dull straw color. Good clarity. Rocky white head retains very well. Foamy clumps of lacing cling to the glass here and there.
S: Strawberry candy, shortbread, wheat, an possibly a very subtle hint of tartness.
T: Big wheaty pull. Strawberry candy. Nip of tartness is more pronounced than the nose suggested. Shortbread. Abrupt finish of wheat and tart strawberry.
M: Very light in body. Fluffy with a slight push of firmness. Creamy. Moderate carbonation.
O: Put together a little better than the average fruit beer. The strawberry comes off as a bit artificial. The tartness saves the beer and elevates drinkability just enough. You could do worse for a warm weather fruit beer.

Blonde color. Some light haze. Disc of white suds perches on the surface. Looks okay.
Strawberry taffy, artificial raspberry, perfumey notes, pale malts, white chocolate, some other off-fragrance. Very strange. Smells waxy like a candle. Not right. Embellished.
Tastes like the nose. Strawberries and cream gummies, fruity soap, perfume, sweet cracker, touch of floral hops, white raspberry, and leafiness. I get that it's a beer, but this is wrong-weird. After doing some research, I realize there are wheat malts used. That could definitely explain some of the strange combinations of flavors. Some natural strawberry flavor peeks out in the finish.
Very watery. Terribly thin. Carbonation takes over. Too overblown. Stings like a big gulp of strawberry soda.
Below-average. Hard to finish. Doesn't even spell 'refreshment'. Avoid.

I picked up a bottle of Abita's Strawberry Harvest Lager last week for $1.59 at The Lager Mill. I'm not a big fan of Abita, but a friend of mine recommend this so I thought I would give it a chance, so lets see how it goes. No visible bottling date. Poured from a brown shorter 12oz bottle into an imperial pint glass.
A- The label doesn't look that great, it's pretty plain and it's not that eye catching. It poured a slightly hazy straw yellow color that took on a golden hue when held to the light with a finger and half of white head that died down to a thin ring that stayed till the end and left some nice rings of lacing behind. This was a good looking beer, I don't really have any complaints.
S- The aroma starts off with a higher amount of sweetness followed by a pretty big strawberry aroma that has a strawberry jam like aroma followed by a some nice creamy aromas that makes for an aroma that reminds me of strawberry cheese cake or those strawberry cup cakes from hostess. Up next comes some sweet, bready and slightly grainy malts. The aroma is nice, I like it, but I don't love it.
T- The taste seems to be pretty damn similar to the aroma and it started off with a medium amount of sweetness followed by the same strawberry aspect that I got in the aroma with a pretty big creamy aroma, the combination reminds me of some Strawberry cheese cake ice cream I have had. Up next comes the malts that impart a pretty big grainy, bready and biscuit like flavor that carries through to the aftertaste with a biscuit flavor that really sticks around and there was no bitterness at all. This beer tastes nice, the strawberry's didn't taste overly artificial and it reminds me a of a couple different strawberry snacks I have had.
M- Smooth, crisp, refreshing, light bodied, with a nice amount of medium carbonation. The mouthfeel was nice and it worked well with this beer.
All in all I thought this was a decent beer and a good example of a fruit beer, it had enough fruit flavor to stay true to the name and they didn't taste overly artificial, it seems to have decent balance also. This beer had ok drinkability, it was smooth, and refreshing, and the flavors held my attention but I think they would start to wear on me after a while, one seems to be enough for me, I don't think I would want another one in a row, What I liked the most about this beer was the aroma, it was nice and very dessert like. What I liked the least about this beer was the drinkability, lagers are usually pretty drinkable, but this one doesn't keep me coming back for more. I might buy this beer again in the summer if I am in the mood for a light and refreshing fruit beer, but it's not something that I would buy a six pack of, I would recommend this to people who really like strawberry's or somebody who is just getting into craft beer. All in all I didn't mind this beer, it's not for everyone but I think it would make for a nice dessert beer, especially at a bbq in the summertime. This is one of the better beers I have had from this brewery but I'm still not crazy over it or the brewery.This beer was ok but I wouldn't seek it out again.

Best by 7/18/13.
Pours a hazy light yellow-orange with a foamy light khaki head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, and some earthy strawberry and strawberry juice aromas. Taste is much the same with a flavor on the finish that is almost like a biscuit with butter and strawberry jelly. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is light and refreshing but the smell on this one is better than the taste.

A: The beer is clear yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high off white head that died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles on the surface and lots of lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of strawberries are present in the nose along with some notes of wheat. The smell becomes a little stronger as the beer warms up.
T: The taste has pleasant flavors of strawberries along with hints of wheat and a slight amount of bitterness. The best way I can describe the strawberries is that they taste like a Starburst candy but without the associated sweetness.
M: It feels light-bodied (but not watery) on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really enjoyed this beer, particularly its strawberry flavors since they seemed unique and didn't have any sweetness.

A - dark gold with a big, frothy, fizzy, bubbly, pure white head that has decent retention
S - smells a bit like strawberries and cream; lots of strawberry syrup
T - similar to the nose; the strawberries taste almost like strawberry ice cream
M - medium bodied, crisp, well carbonated
This is actually a rather decent beer. The strawberries are pretty much the only flavor that comes through and it's sweet and a bit syrupy. But in both the nose and taste its like strawberries and cream. The flavor reminds me exactly like strawberry ice cream. This isn't a fantastic beer and certainly not one I would drink a lot of at once, but this was a nice, refreshing change of pace for me. I'm glad I tried it. I may pick it up again.

Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager has a thick, off-white, foamy head, a hazy, straw appearance, with some bubble streams and little white specs throughout, and some thin lacing left behind. The aroma is of strawberry-flavored hard candy, shortcake, candy sugar, and white bread. Taste is of yeasty bread, confectionery sugar, white bread crust, Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls, strawberry seeds, and there is an underlying strawberry juice flavor with this. Mouthfeel is light and watery, with some slickness, actually, and Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager finishes dry, super sweet, and sugary. Overall, for a beer in general it's okay, but it's a very good flavored, gimmick beer. I suppose it's worth trying.

"Abita Strawberry Harvest is a lager brewed with pilsner and wheat malts and Vanguard hops. Real Louisiana strawberry juice is added after filtration resulting in a crisp lager with a sweet strawberry flavor, aroma and haze." Purchased a marked down six pack in late fall of this seasonal, although it is also available in the Party Pack when in season. Best by date is 10/30/12. Brewed in the style of a pale wheat lager with fruit added.
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle to my Abita pint glass. Served upwards of 45º Fahrenheit.
(Apperarance) Pours a fizzy, crisp and loud head of a cream white tone that recedes at an above average rate. Body color is a slightly pale yellow with an intense amount of visible carbonation. Surprisingly little "strawberry-esque" color tones of purple, red or pink hues are notable in the color. A mild haze gives a notch of depth. Really crisp head initially but it settles to a much more pleasing soapy foam surface cover instead of fading away. Lacing is spotty but certainly substantial. Not bad. 3.75
(Smell) Interesting strawberry presence, certainly juice-like but very sweet. It reminds me of a cross between trix cereal and a kid's minute maid strawberry juice cocktail. The overall consensus is that it is very sweet and the strawberry sweetness dominates the nose. Wheat certainly would be a complimentary grain but I don't gather much from pilsner malts nor do I smell a hop presence here either. Could have done better with a lesser strawberry presence or added at a different time. It's pleasing to the nose like candy or fruit roll-ups would be and based off the aroma alone, it smells as if a kid could even enjoy the aroma of this, but it's not likely to be a favorite of those who enjoy a balance in their beer. 3
(Taste) Much better flavor than the taste. A definite wheat profile is evident, with a crackery crispness of pilsner malts, and the strawberry character, while still dominant, is at least closer to being in balance, and provides a lesser distracting strawberry cream tone which pairs surprisingly well with the malt bill. Strawberry tartness is also evident in this stage, balancing out the sweetness somewhat. Hops, while still tough to find, do present a touch of welcome bitterness on the finish and round out the sweetness a notch. Balance is still distinctly sweet, but not nearly as intense as I had predicted. One thing I could have preferred was a slight increase in the wheat body, which would have thickened the flavor a touch, balanced the strawberry even more and better complimented the texture too. 3.5
(Mouthfeel) Surprisingly mild carbonation presence with a touch of creamy texture. Body is light/medium for wheat lagers and light overall. Alcohol presence is very low to none, almost completely washed by the strawberries. Pleasing creamy texture works much better than I would have expected it to for the beer but the body has so much more potential to improve. Beneath the strawberry flavor, it just feels too shallow in places and couldn't carry itself on malt and hops alone. 3.75
(Overall) Despite frightening first impressions of the intense strawberry flavor, this beer toned down and provided a little more strawberry diversity, like a mild tartness that better balanced out the tastes. My biggest bummer is the general light malt bill, which is noticeable even under the strawberries and cream taste and texture, and if increased a couple of spaces, would improve this beer's flavor and depth even more. Still, a surprisingly drinkable and enjoyable strawberry wheat lager. 3.5

One of the best fruit beers I have had in some time. Very, very balanced.
Pours a light gold liquid with a slight hazy and a very generous white head.
Aroma is pleasant and malty with a tinge of strawberries.
The flavor - impeccably good. Not too sweet (like most fruit beers) but also with enough substance to be good. A nice blend of lager crispness and wheat ale tangyness. A little bit of hops. Strawberries are present but not dominant. Lingering aftertaste that moves in a more sweet direction.
Good medium mouthfeel. Not too carbonated. Feels very nice on the tongue.
Overall, a very surprising beer. I liked it!

single finger white head with poor retention on a hazy pale golden body. Aroma of strawberry and raspberry with a grain base which isnt that sweet. Flavors are also of strawberry and raspberry, sweetest in the finish with a very light malt and grain base. Also has orange peel notes. Light body and high carbonation. This one is refreshing. Not too sweet. Not a beer or a style for me.

Upon first pour, there's a one finger head that dissipates quickly with little to no lacing. Unlike the raspberry beers I've been having lately, there's no pink or reddish color to it. It's a slightly cloudy light golden yellow with visible, active, carbonation. On the nose is, you guessed it, strawberries, but also a little bit of wheat. On first sip, I remember how easy it is to put these away on a hot day. I was discussing today how I have a hard time drinking heavy beers in the summer, and it's because of how easy these types of beers go down in the heat. There's definite strawberries on the taste, but it's not overwhelming. The carbonation is pleasant. It's almost like the "beer taste" stands up to the strawberries. It's not syrupy or sweet like some fruit beers. It's what I would call "well balanced." This is probably one of the most drinkable beers I've had.

[Suggested Glassware: Tulip Glass]
The pour was a cloudy medium golden yellow with an average (1-2 finger) white pillowy head that receded slowly down to a thick film with a medium collar and had excellent sheets of streaky lacing.
The aroma was pretty basic with the scent of strawberries almost overpowering everything else, but I did notice a bit of grain malts and a mild sweaty yeast.
The taste was mildly sweet and had a light malty feel with a hint of strawberry and a mild touch of grain throughout. The flavor lasted an average time after the swallow, with a mildly bitter and slightly fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel was light in body and watery in texture with a fizzy carbonation.
Overall a smooth easy to drink Fruit Lager with a nice low ABV. This is a brew that is refreshingly fruity and would be great on a hot summer's day...

Poured from the bottle served into a shaker pint glass, in Bristol RI. From notes, consumed 12-8-2012.
A faint straw gold body, lively carbonation and a nice foamy and creamy head produced at about two fingers size. As pale as this is it does look inviting to some extent with a good interesting head.
Nose is a strange grainy character, but also a nice fruit balance as well. It smells incredibly clean, with an almost sanitized perfection in a way. Strawberry fruit is a little burried.
Palate hits with an interesting body and a very fruity finish. Strawberry fruit character really opens up on the swallow, the cleanliness really seems aparant on this giving a real crisp but also wet an almost non beer like qualitiy. I wouldn't say it's so much wet or water, but it's like a very clean fiji water or something.
Overall kind of fun, very fruit forward, but not very beer like either. It's a fun beer once in awhile, but can't say I really desire it, but I wont turn it down.

Post subject: reiki and energy
Thankyou OIndigo for your thoughts and the link on energy vibration, I find this area particularly interesting (starting from reading the celestine prophecy!) and was attuned a few weeks ago into the first degree of reiki.
I had been having a lot of health problems over the past 6 months and as a result felt like I had plateued in my spiritual understanding, as I had got all I could from the basic meditation I was previously doing and so didn't know where to go from there.
I decided to use this time to try to understand my body more fully and why it was causing me such problems and so I read many books over the summer and came across one on reiki that really inspired me.
I decided after reading this book that I wanted to give reiki a try and see if it could help me heal myself and so the synchronisities brought me to my teacher who I really felt was the best person to attune me.
It was an experience far more powerful than I had expected it to be and the energy felt very different to what I was expecting, as you said it is hot and at a higher vibratory level than I had previously experienced through energy meditations.
Since being attuned my health has dramatically attuned physically and mentally I feel more clear headed and confident, I think it worked so well for me as it came at a time when I really needed something to push me forward from the rut I was in to get to where I want to be.
My life is going in much more of a relaxed spiritual way now which is how i wanted to live my life so i look forward to carrying on this journey and learning more
If anyone else decides that they would like to be attuned use your intuition to find the best teacher for you, as there are so many out there and only you will know which characteristics in their style and personality appeal to you.
Much love xyx
Love and light to all xyx

I see this is a rather old thread, is anyone still interested in discussion?
I used to practice reiki all the time, and am just getting back into living it as a reality.
I have learned about Ma'heo'o reiki, which incorporates many native American ideas and draws on the powers of nature as well. Has anyone heard of this or have any experience with it?
I am also wondering about distance Attunements. Some people caution against them and many masters promote them. If reiki can be used for distance healing, why not attunemens? Anyone want to weigh in on this?

Post subject:
Most of the attunements I received were at a distance, but I did start out with in-person attunements for Usui Reiki. Both were valuable, but I would say that receiving attunements at a distance requires more participation from the person receiving the attunements. Often I actually got more from sending attunements at a distance than receiving them. In order to strengthen my connection to a new reiki system after receiving it at a distance I would then send it to myself a few times. Some of the systems that I barely felt, like solar light reiki and lunar light reiki, ended up being some of my strongest while I was actively working with them.
Ma'heo'o Reiki doesn't sound familiar. At one point I would have said that there are thousands of reiki systems out there, but now I am not sure if it is better to say tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of reiki systems. It isn't unusual anymore to find people who are attuned to over one thousand reiki systems. I might even be one of them, but I didn't keep track as I went along. Most ended up not being worth remembering. I'm not saying that about the one that you were attuned to; I have already said that I don't know anything about it. The important thing is that anything that heals or clears the energy pathways that go through your body will strengthen all of your reiki systems.
As for actually changing your life ... I don't know. Currently I am trying to find a way to bridge by beliefs and energy practices and meditations with my actual day-to-day life, so that they are no longer so separate. It is easy enough to raise energy and to experience positive emotions but it isn't doing much to get a better job or even to get rid of the headache I am currently experiencing. At this point I am over 240 days into A Course In Miracles, and it is causing regular shifts in my beliefs and attitudes. I have a feeling that I am on the right track to make my actual life seem more magical rather than just my meditation and energy work.

A triangle is a spiral, and is one energy event
Day 17
At the Zen Center, no one speaks before the Dharma Talk begins. Everyone just sits quietly, on pillows on the floor or on chairs along the wall, waiting for the soft bell to finish chiming and the reverend Keiryu Lien Shutt to enter. It seems very formal, but by the end I realise these routines probably aren't there to be limiting, but to put the practicalities into a system so we can focus on more important things. And if someone forgets to bow at the appropriate moment, well that's just the way things are. During the tour for beginners we learn how to behave in the temple, which follows the Buddhist Soto Zen tradition; what the bells mean, the rules for shoes and bowing, all explained by a soft-spoken, bright-eyed man in a robe. It takes six months just to learned how to sit, explained the reverend, and if you can't … well that's just the way it is that day. Keiryu Lien Shutt told us she was adopted to the US when she was eight, having survived the Vietnam war, and now she lives in San Francisco with her girlfriend. She spoke from her low wooden seat, having carefully arranged her robes around her, covering her bare feet. She took her time, her voice soft even when she made us laugh. She spoke about authenticity, about the door swinging in our minds between rejection and acceptance, about how it's not about striving to be the best little runner … I thought about this as I left, specifically in regards to my chronic almost-lateness, and how I keep feeling like I need to get better. But somehow that doesn't work, so maybe a different approach is in order. Guilt doesn't motivate me, but I know that what does is the opportunity to step up. I'm not sure if that's Zen or not; I was only at the centre for two hours. But as I understand it, Zen is a lot about seeing things as they are, to simply recognise them for what they are. I got the impression of an open and accepting religion, one where a gay minister isn't just tolerated but no big deal, that there is no reason we should have to beg forgiveness for our very nature at every turn, that the spirit isn't some far away place out of reach, but something that is everywhere, all the time.
Also on Saturday:
* Momi Tobys Revolution Café in Hayes Valley: espresso, wide cup, ice.
* The Asian Heritage Street Fair: Japanese drummers, dancers from Cambodia and Burma, a palm-leaf wrapped rice and banana sweet from Laos, and freshly squeezed sugar cane juice on ice, slowly melting in the sun. Then a Vietnamese man dragged out a 3,500 year old stone lithophone, proceeding to play what is one of the oldest working instruments in the world, banging the stone slabs with wooden sticks to produce the brittlest, clearest little sounds.
* Food at Spice in the Richmond was wonderful, but nothing beats yesterday's dinner at Tu Lan in the Tenderloin. The quick, cheap Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall restaurant has sloped floors and flames reaching high over the blackened woks, smoking up the place. Oh wow.
* On Ocean Beach: sun, wind, sand. The Pacific is freezing but the surf is coated in silver. I sat and watched it roll in, thinking that everything they say about California is true.
* I climbed down the hill from the Cliff House to the Sutro Baths, the ruins of a once- grand swimming complex built in 1896. As much as I'd have liked to see it at its prime, there is something wonderful about it the way it is now, left to the birds.
Day 18
At Maxfields House of Caffeine in the Mission there are big windows, tables and sofas, space to work with good wifi, massive espressos on ice and even goddamn vegan cookies. This is what the world would look like if it were a freelancing paradise with me as its queen.
Today is Sunday, it's sunny and all I want to do is to go to Dolores Park and lie in it. But one thing. I had a brainwave the other day, and I think it's the feeling I've been circling in on since I got here. And what it is, I think, is that I'm finally started to feel like an adult. As in, it's been happening over the past year, but only now that I've had a moment can I recognise it for what it is. That word means different things to people, but for me it's about feeling like this life is my own. That I am not floundering aimlessly anymore (controlled floundering is ok!), that I am on track with my work, that I am capable of doing it and other things too, when I put the push on it. That I am at home in this body, that I am able to recognise what I want, along with the confidence to go after it. That I trust my own worth enough to walk away when it's not right. This is what being an adult means to me, and being here, all by myself, I'm realising I no longer feel like I'm at the dress rehearsal for the real thing. There's lots more to work out, of course. But it's happening, right now, and it's not half bad. Not half bad at all.
[Also today: triangle, ink, energy event.]

Durham (Conn.) Xavier linebacker Graham Stewart committed late in January to Florida and didn't have much time to change his mind. Stewart played in the Texas vs. The World All-Star game on Wednesday and couldn't send his National Letter of Intent until he returned home.
Stewart is the last to fax his letter of intent, completing Florida's class of 18. The Gators still have a few uncommitted targets they could gain, but as we wait for those, here's a little more on Stewart:
Graham Stewart, linebacker
Hometown: Durham, Conn. High school: Xavier
Height: 6′2″ Weight: 225
Recruiting buzz: Stewart originally committed to Boston College but switched to Florida in late January after receiving an offer from Will Muschamp. The top prospect in the state of Connecticut, Stewart led Xavier with 97 tackles and had five sacks, an interception and two fumble recoveries.
Rankings: Scout 300 – No. 294

New Lenox Dad Home from Kuwait: Surprises Son at Haines School
Daniel Powers, a 1st-grader at Haines School in New Lenox, got an amazing surprise. His dad, Keith Powers, arrived home from Kuwait today. The National Guardsman has been overseas for 9 months.
A New Lenox National Guardsman returned home from Kuwait today, and surprised his 7-year-old son at a 2:15 p.m. assembly at Haines School. The May 1 assembly that included a discussion about the sacrifices that men and women in the military make regularly to preserve our nation became real when Keith Powers, of the National Guard's 935th Aviation Support Battalion walked in. Still in uniform, Powers was armed with balloons and opened his arms wide. Daniel spotted him, yelled, "Daddy," and rushed in for a hug. Weighing no more than 45 pounds, Daniel was wearing the khaki military garb that his mom, Angeline Powers, had picked out for the day. Keith had been on active duty for the last 11 months and away in Kuwait for the last nine …

Fans of that stuff, get thee hence to the old Acme Power Plant on Front Street at the Marina. They've demolished the backside of the building, and you can see straight through all the rooms to the beautiful arched windows on the front side. Guys with welding torches are removing pieces of metal at the roof level. I saw several folks parked there, eating lunch. It's quite an interesting show. If you like that sort of thing.

Health questions? Talk to a mentor confidentially
According to Statistics Canada, 23.1% of Canadians aged 18 or older (5.5 million people) are obese, with another 36.1% (8.6 million) are overweight. This means that over half of Canada is overweight.
Although I am not overweight myself, neither is my lifestyle particularly healthy. But about two months ago I heard some friends from church talking about the P90X workout system, and decided to give it a try. P90X consists of a 45-60 minute workouts as well as a complete nutrition system. The idea is that you can go from flab to buff in 90 days.
Let me just say, it has not been an entirely enjoyable journey so far. (Also, I should make it clear that it is certainly NOT me in the photo to the left.) For one thing, I don't have a pull-ups bar, which makes it impossible to do the pull-ups exercises. Pull-ups, plural, might be a bit optimistic for me anyways. Also, the nutrition plan is pretty hardcore. I imagine most people, like me, would have a very difficult time having the willpower and patience to keep to it. There have been times that, through pain, instead of shouting "Bring it!" along with the videos, and I've considered throwing out all this exercise stuff and buying some donuts instead!
Yet despite my struggles so far, I do feel healthier. And it does seem to be getting a little easier to keep it up now that I'm getting used to it. One thing I've found particularly helpful is keeping track on a calendar which workouts I complete to help me chart my progress.
Do you exercise? What is your favorite workout? What are the excuses that people often give for not working out?

Parents: Get active and become a healthy role model
Tags: darren hewer, exercise, fitness, LIFE, Men, p90x, Talk, weightlifting, Women, workout
I used to be too busy to work out. I had chronic pain and felt that working out would make it worse. Three years ago, I finally took the step needed and took a learn-to-run session. It was so hard and I felt like giving up each step. After a few weeks, I realized I was getting stronger and my chronic pain was lessening. Now, I have added core work to my cardio. I continue to have a very full schedule, but working out a minimum of 5 times a week is an absolute for me. It gives me the physical strength and emotional fortitude I need to live my busy life as wife, mother and full-time employee. I find that when I keep my discipline in exercise, it helps me keep spiritual discipline as well. My exercise actually gives me more time in my day as I have more strength and perspective.
I started using P90X about a year and a half ago, and let me tell you it was NOT easy at all. My starting weight was 203 and I remember my first day feeling like it was going to be the death of me. Well a year and a half later I weigh 156 and can absolutely dominate these workouts. The journey is hard at first and you may struggle every with the moves, but this is very similar to our walk with the Lord. Those jumping head first into a daily devotional or trying to get their life back on track with God is like performing your first P90X workout; it's hard, you don't know where to start, and you feel like it is impossible. After a few days you learn what works best for you, such as how to modify the exercises and what weights/reps to use. The journey gets much easier over time and you will be
Sorry I hit the wrong button to quickly. But as I was saying you will learn to develop your own way of finding out what works best for you, much like your walk with the Lord!
When I began my P90X journey I weighed 203 pounds, but now a year and half later I lost 49 pounds and still enjoy pressing play every day! Starting P90X is hard! Much like starting our spiritual journey's, our fitness journey's take time getting used to too. When I was starting P90X I could not do the entire workout or even figure out half the moves. The same went with my spiritual journey, I did not know where to start (i.e. What book to read, what verses to read, what devotional to do, etc.), but I jumped in and figured it out. The workouts began to easier after two weeks and by week 4 I was breezing through them at a much better pace than when I first started. The same held true for my spiritual journey. Now I'm bringing it "super sonic X style" and bringing it for Jesus too! Feel free to email me if you need motivation or help along your journey! Much like our spiritual journey, our physical journey is not good to do alone! BRING IT!
What do you fear, and why? Is it holding you back from realizing your full potential?

Rising gas prices

Pump prices are more than twenty cents above the national average.
It's a fact that has got one local resident calling the cost to fill up his tank, ridiculous.
"I think the prices, they are outrageous, they should come down at least a dollar, this is killing the economy completely," said Frank Raspante, a Rome resident.
In the nation, Hawaii and California have the highest gas prices.
South Carolina is the lowest at around $3.37.

2 Teens Dead, 3 Injured in Burnsville Crash
Witnesses told investigators a car was speeding and swerving before it crashed in Burnsville, killing two teens and injuring three others.
The State Patrol say a Toyota Camry carrying five teenagers was driving south on Buck Hill Road, parallel to Interstate 35, around 2:30 p.m. when the driver lost control, went off the road, rolled several times down an embankment, through a fence, into a guardrail and onto the interstate near County Road 46.
Two people were ejected from the car. Sixteen-year-old Frederick Alexander of Burnsville was pronounced dead on the scene. The other teen, 17-year-old Alesha Roehl from Northfield, was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center where she died around 7:45 p.m. Investigators do not believe either was wearing a seatbelt.
The State Patrol says the 17-year-old Lakeville boy who was driving the car and two 16-year-old male passengers received minor injuries in the crash. The State Patrol has not released their names.
Investigators believe speed was a factor in the crash. The posted speed limit on Buck Hill Road is 40 mph. Witnesses say the car was going much faster than that, but investigators have not narrowed down exactly how fast it was going. There was no indication alcohol played a role, but that will be part of their investigation.
The right two lanes of southbound I-35 were closed while investigators reconstruct the accident and cleared the scene. It created a large backups on both 35W and 35E, which merge into I-35 just before the crash scene.

The Value Of Feeling Well Again
Is living a pain-free and healthy life worth what you would spend on a few nights at a nice hotel? Or how about all the money you pay-out in co-pays to doctors and the pharmacy? Go back and add up how much you've been spending. You may be surprised.
Then ask yourself if the treatment plan with your regular doctor is working. Are you connecting with your doctor or is he or she rushing you through another appointment? Here at the Center, we listen first, set goals, and then work together to achieve your optimum health.
We're here to help you feel your best.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do We Take Insurance?
- The Future of Medicine
- Will My Insurance Company Reimburse Preventative Care Services?
- How Do I Submit For Reimbursement?
- Does The Stram Center Offer Discounts Or Special Pricing?
- Will My Employer's Flexible Medical Spending Account Pay For The Center's Services And Prescribed Supplements?
Do We Take Insurance?
We at the Center like to rephrase the question as: "Does Insurance take us?" or more specifically, "does insurance take integrative medicine?" That time has not yet arrived but we do believe that it is coming.
Currently, the insurance model for reimbursements are based on the complexity of disease-providers are paid according to how sick the patient can be documented; how well you are is not rewarded. It is not a time based model but a procedure based model of health care. For example: a 10 minute procedure can get 10 times more reimbursement than more than an hour of listening and processing a complex patient with chronic illness. We at the Center, will not compromise a reduction in time spent with our patients or increase diagnostic codes to gain more funding. We honor our relationship with you and will not be boxed in by how many diagnoses we can report or what procedures we can obtain to achieve the highest reimbursements.
We believe the right reimbursement strategy is to reduce the number of diagnoses and avoid unnecessary procedures and pharmaceuticals in order to achieve the highest level of health for the individual. Preventative Care should be the goal for everyone: the individual, the practitioner and the health insurance companies to help one to feel their best.
Currently at our Delmar office, therefore, insurance is not accepted. Our practice is not based on an insurance model of care that does not value the time we spend with our patients. We are not a volume based, insurance model of healthcare. However, many patients do have out of network benefits that may reimburse for medical office visits. Please check your member benefits.
Medicare patients seeing Dr. Stram must pay for their services at the time it is given, as Dr. Stram is a non participating physician and does not accept assignment from Medicare, but our office staff will bill Medicare on behalf of the patient for eligible reimbursements of allowable charges, payable directly to the patient.
Acupuncture for the treatment of nausea from chemotherapy is reimbursable by many insurance programs. Please check with your insurance company for this benefit.
While there is a growing trend among insurance companies to provide more prevention benefits, some may not routinely cover all of the Center's services. Therefore, it is advisable to check with your individual health benefits program; you may, like many of our patients be reimbursed for some of our services. If you have out of network benefits, and have and met your deductable, you may get reimbursed substantially for your visit.
The Future of Medicine
"We are breaking away from the current medical-financial model that requires physicians to spend only ten to fifteen minutes per patient," explains Dr. Stram. "We believe this is the future of medicine, and we know more and more people are recognizing this with their willingness to pay out of pocket for consultations. We strive to set fair fees and to provide great value for the amount of time and care we take with each individual. We work with individuals to obtain insurance coverage whenever possible."
Please call the Center to check on the latest updates to our insurance programs. (518) 689-2244
Will My Insurance Company Reimburse Preventative Care Services?
Most likely you will get a portion of your payment reimbursed if we are not in contract with your plan. Many times there is a deductible that must be met before the health insurance company will reimburse for out of network services. The reimbursement rate is usually at 80%; please check with your individual insurance carrier for your benefits.
Many health insurance companies are just starting to embrace the value of prevention, offering some benefit programs that allow for a certain number of wellness visits for services such as acupuncture and massage. Make sure you check with your own healthcare insurance company for newly added programs.
Please call the Center to check on the latest updates to our insurance programs. (518) 689 – 2244.
How Do I Submit For Reimbursement?
We'll help.
Our office managers will be more than happy to give you completed receipts with the Center's practitioner's evaluation and procedure codes to submit to your insurance company. Often insurance companies will reimburse a portion of your claim, near 80% if there is out of network benefits associated with your plan. Please call your insurance company for details.
The greatest number of requests for reimbursements comes from patients of complementary medicine; your demand for this kind of health care will steer insurance companies to make the change, just the way it did for chiropractic care not long ago.
Does The Stram Center Offer Discounts Or Special Pricing?
Yes. The Center's staff will work with individuals to make its services affordable. For example, we offer discounted rates for acupuncture through our community acupuncture program, lower rates for scenar therapy for point of pain treatments and senior discounts for some services.
The Center and its entire staff are committed to helping our community have access to our integrative medicine services. Please check with our office and on Web site for the development of new financially accessible programs.
Will My Employer's Flexible Medical Spending Account Pay For The Center's Services And Prescribed Supplements?
Yes. Most if not all of our services should be covered under these plans. You will need to check the details of your individual employer's coverage. Supporting documentation may be required which our doctors can provide. Optimizing your health and well-being is a sensible way to spend your pre-tax dollars.

Eau de Fleur de la Passion – for Her, A cloud of precious flowers, amber-scented and woody- top notes of Mimosa and Orange Blossom. This fragrance has center notes of Tuberose, Cyclamen and Jasmine and base notes of Vetiver, Ambergris and White Musk. Delicious!
I love this fragrance as it is so feminine. On cold bitter days like today it transports me to another time. I feel as if I am walking in a flower garden on the first, warm spring day, my long, sheer skirt swirling around my sun-warmed skin…
The EAUX de PLAISIR are Eaux de Cologne obtained by mixing high quality essential oils with the care, passion and experience acquired over two centuries devoted to creating perfumes.
They are contained in precious bottles and elegant boxes with old-fashioned designs. Fragrances can change moods, uplift spirits and make you feel romantic.
After all, Coco Chanel is said to have quipped, "A woman should wear perfume wherever she wants to be kissed."
