Rats are the vertebrate masters of adaptation. A highly intelligent rodent that is capable of remembering each path it takes, carrying for others, and working in teams, the rat is one of the most well-known invasive species in the world. They inhabit every ecosystem in the world. They are master scavengers and will eat any food and water resource they can.
The Rattus genus has 64 species worldwide that make up a massive, uncountable population. Rats are from the order Rodentia which are characterized by an uncontrollable urge to gnaw. This is because the rats and others in this order have a pair of upper and lower teeth that grow nonstop, and the gnawing process files back the teeth to a manageable length. If they don't gnaw frequently, the teeth will grow until they starve to death or are too weak to flee a predator.
The rat phylogeny and history dates back to over thirteen million years ago in the family Murinae. The family continued to slightly transform over several millions of years until major speciation event occurred with the family the first at around 3 million years. At this point in time, speciation gave rise to the Rattus genus or the Rats. The Rattus genus then began to split once again into two distinct species Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus. The species Rattus norvegicus is known as the Norway rat, and Rattus rattus being the Roof rat.
The two established distinct footholds in the world. Rats are reportedly the most annoying rodent pest in North America. They can be found anywhere from homes, buildings, sewers, gardens, harbors, boats, and any other form of shelter they can exploit.
The roof rat species is from the Asian tropics where they spread into the European colonies that eventually spread throughout the world through various trade routes and explorations.
The common house rats are known for taking care of one another, sleeping together, and developing a group to work together. The rats are like wolves they establish leaders and places of rank in the pack. There is always an alpha rat in each pack.
Rats are found in all of the contiguous 48 states. They are also known to inhabit every land mass. They are known to be found at every departure point and various research stations in Antarctica. The rat species is the most prolific invasive species worldwide. There are estimated reports that state there are over 5-6 billion rats, if not more, worldwide. There is said to be over two billion in China alone. In Britain, the rat population matches the amount of people. The French report estimates four rats to one person, and a population of rats at eight million. The true number of rats worldwide is expanding too swiftly too count and is difficult to determine.
The roof rat prefers warmer climates regions. This allows the Norway Rat to dominate the other climate regions. The rats can be found throughout the U.S. but it is more common to find them in their preferred regions as shown in the figure above.

The two species have many comparable and different qualities. The key to telling the difference can be narrowed down to easily to five features the nose, eyes, ears, body, and tail.
The Norway rat or Rattus norvegieus is the larger of the two. Norway rats are light brown in color, stocky, and borrowing capable rodents. They are found in homes or buildings on the ground level, basements, or in crawl spaces. This species is common to all 48 contiguous states.
As for the other species the Roof rat is the smaller of the two popular species. Roof rats or Rattus rattus are black or dark brown in color, and have long tails as long as their body. The species likes to climb and nest outside in trees, shrubs, bushes, and any high structures. In the home they can act the same way choosing to nest in the walls an attic spaces.
Rats are just like humans and other mammal species when it comes to having a well-developed anatomy. They come complete with the key systems like digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system, and reproductive system. They have complete and sharp sensory organs. The ears, nose, eyes, brain, tail and other nervous system organs are modified to be clever and swift. Rats are bilaterally symmetrical.
They come standard like most mammals with teeth, mouth, nose, esophagus, trachea, heart, aortic arch, lungs, diaphragm, liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, pyloric sphincter, bile duct, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, descending colon, rectum, and anus. They also have hair, sweat glands, and mammillary glands which they use to feed the live born young. These features classify the rodents in the class with the most evolved class of animals known as the mammalians.

These rats span from the family Neotoma. They resemble larger versions of deer mice. The difference between woodrats and house rats is that they are well-haired and have a bicolored tail. This nocturnal or cloudy rainy day species likes to forage in the cover of darkness like the rest of its relatives. The woodrats create large nests or large houses of sticks characterized by all sorts of junk. This is where the term "pack rat" comes from, and they fit the description. The woodrat is also a solitary species not known for large groups.

The rat is capable of having an average of 3 to 8 young every litter. The offspring are born around 20-21 days after conception. They become adults in as little as 5 to 6 weeks.
Norway rats are ground burrowers, so they will nest deep in the underground channels they have created. The average female Norway rat has 4 to 6 liters per year and can successfully wean 20 or more offspring annually.
Roof rats prefer to nest in locations off the ground and rarely dig burrows for living quarters if above-ground sites exist. The average number of litters a female roof rat has per year depends on many factors, but generally it is 3 to 5 with 3 to 8 young in each litter.
The newborn rats are usually given birth to around 20-25 days after reproduction occurs. The rat babies are referred to as pups, kittens or pinkies. The young rat pups are then raised in a nest made by the adult rats. Each rat pup is born hairless and eyes shut for a short time period. The litter can have up to eight or nine pups. The rat pups grow extremely quick within the first five to eight days. The following week the pups begin to open their eyes. The pups will nurse up to four to five weeks old. The rat pups then begin to explore the nesting area and search for food. In the following weeks the pups are weaned and begin eating mainly solid food. At this time in development the pups have learned what is suitable to eat by mimicking the mother's actions and habitats. The young rats are usually more independent at one month old but will linger around for at least another month or two. The young rats at 3 months are completely grown and independent. Not only are the rats full grown but reproductively mature as well. The new adult rats will breed and the season to do so varies from locations. Rats in the tropics and semi tropics regions are capable of mating nonstop and throughout the year. Breeding season is most common during the fall and spring seasons.
Reproduction happens anywhere from three to five times a year, and varies between habitats. The number of litters a female can have depends on if the area has suitable habitat needs in which the rats can thrive. The factors that make up a habitat are climatic range, food sources, and number of total rat populations in the area. The last major factor that affects litters is how old the female is. On average the female rat will have anywhere from 3-5 litters in a single year.

One of the main reasons many people have problems with rats, and therefore need to get rid of rats, is because of the inherent nature rats have to overtake shelters they did not make themselves. Since rats are predominately a nocturnal species, they take shelter during the day hours in man-made shelters, burrows, homes, stacks of lumber, trees, or untended piles of debris.
Rats will eat anything available to them from seed, fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, insects, worms, spiders, and various meats. Rat activity begins in the cover of darkness or cloudy dark conditions. All of the rodent species prefer to forage in the cover of night fall. They will work together to move large quantities of food to safe locations to be eaten. Rats will also collect and store the spoils of the foraging trips. They will hoard numerous amounts of trash and solid foods to be eaten at a later date. House rats will store these items in wood piles, wall voids, attics, boxes, and other coverings where they feel safe.
Roof rats will trail over 100 meters to find food from their nests. They will also stay with other rats on their foraging journey to exploit certain food sources. They will travel from tree to tree, and even climb power lines or fence lines to travel safely. They will make nests in trees near gardens or near the food sources they value. They favor palm trees and other high elevated locations. Roof rats are smart and will avoid changes to their environment and are scared of them. They are neophobic, which is the fear of new things or experiences. Talk about creatures of habit. Neophobia is more distinct in roof rats than in the close cousin Norway rats. Some roof rat packs will even modify trails and routes to avoid frequently disturbed paths and areas.
The roof rat's eating habits resemble the diet of tree squirrels. The diet persists of a variety of fruits and nuts. Though the rats like fruits and nuts they will also eat any vegetative part of ornamental and native plants.
Norway rats are omnivorous like most rodents, but will eat anything to survive. They like to forage in food packaging plants and storage facilities. The only thing different from the roof rat is that its diet is far less controlled and they will eat any food that they can get ahold of. Though they may have preferences, it varies from pack to pack. They enjoy eating feed for domestic animals like, chickens, dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and swine. There is often a draw to dog food for most rats, so pet food and outdoor pets attract Norway rats.
Roof rats like to have a steady source of water and fresh fruits and nuts. The roof rats like to establish homes near these resources making it common to find them in those conditions.
Norway rats
Roof rats
The roof rat favors the warmer climates and heavily populates them. They are far more dominant in the tropical climates throughout the world than the Norway rats. The roof rat is far more modified and adapted to survive the warmer climates only, making it less frequent in colder locations. The Norway rat takes to burrowing and the colder climates throughout the world and is far more numerous. The northern US is almost free of roof rats do to the colder climate. They are more likely to inhabit ships in the northern climates.
The Roof rat species prefers the elevated habitat over the grounds like the Norway rat. In the spring and summer, the habitats they choose are riverbanks, streams, parks, natural ponds, artificial ponds, reservoirs, gardens, rice fields, sugarcane fields, citrus groves, apple orchards, poultry farms, and other heavy favored thriving food sources.
During the winter and fall months they move to warmer climates, or seek out suitable homes in barns, industrial sites, storage centers, warehouses, and other warm sources of shelter.
It is actually common to have both the Norway and roof rat inhabiting the same building. The roof rat will gain access through the roof with utility lines. They will inhabit and make a home in the attic or top floor. The Norway rats will come in through the ground level and remain there establishing a nest in the basement or ground floor.

A senior councillor has been cleared following allegations that he attempted to instigate a smear campaign against the leader of Wirral Conservative group.
Independent investigator Patricia Thynne – commissioned to probe the claim - ruled that there was no case to answer against deputy council leader Cllr George Davies.
Her findings in a 17-page report included the comment: "I have found no evidence of any proposal by Cllr George Davies to smear Cllr (Jeff) Green (Tory group leader) or any behaviour which is capable of breaching the council's code of conduct, and therefore no breach of the code by Cllr Davies."
Earlier in the report, however, she indicated that some "key witnesses" had declined to be interviewed.
Ms Thynne wrote: "The only clear evidence of an attempt to mount a smear campaign against Cllr Jeff Green is the letter purporting to describe a meeting with him.
"Whilst the contents may appear ineffective as a basis, I am satisfied that it can be seen as an attempt to smear Cllr Green."
"There is insufficient evidence to identify the source of this attempt and there is no corroborative evidence as to who wrote the letter or that it was ever circulated. Its contents are less than an adequate basis for such a campaign but I am satisfied that it could be seen as an attempt to smear Cllr Green.
Her findings contain the observation: "There is enough evidence to suggest that the behaviour of a number of councillors in the recent past was at best clouded by political motives and was at risk of breaking the code of conduct."
Councillor Green raised the issue at full council in December last year querying whether council leader Phil Davies had been aware of a tape recording made last August alleging that a senior member of his administration had encouraged former council workers to smear him to take pressure off his own colleagues and gain political advantage.
Ms Thynne said Cllr Green had been anxious to emphasise that he did not ask for a formal investigation under the members' code of conduct protocol, nor did he identify Cllr Davies as the possible source of the alleged attempt to smear him.
Councillor Green said today: "I am satisfied that the investigator has recognised that there was indeed an attempt to smear me.
"Even though that campaign was inadequate and ineffective it has no place in any organisation that is genuinely seeking to improve.
"Without full publication of the transcript of the tape, which I firmly believe does exist, it will be very difficult to take this matter any further.
"But I do note that the investigator has called on councillors, whose behaviour was 'at best clouded by political motives' to behave in a better way."
The independent investigation was initiated by council chief executive Graham Burgess after concerns were raised by Cllr Green.
A council statement released today said: "A thorough inquiry was undertaken by an independent investigator and discussed with an independent member of the standards committee to ensure its findings were reasonable and rational, based on the evident available.
Although there was no case to answer the council has chosen to publish the report in line with its commitment to transparency."
Councillor Davies, who emphatically denied that there was a proposed "smear campaign," told the Globe he had "no further comment" to make on the report.

Remember when I was gifted that slew of citrus a few weeks ago? Well, I never got around to sharing one of my most favorite recipes from all the experimenting, so here they are, Meyer Lemon Icebox Bites.
I originally made this recipe as part of my Oscars Viewing Party for "The Help" as a nod to the traditional Icebox cakes of the South (I couldn't bring myself to whip up a version of Minnie's "famous" chocolate pie). Well, last week came and went but I didn't want this recipe to go unnoticed. These sweet, tart, floral mini pies are perfect finger food for a cocktail party or anytime you just want a bite-sized dessert.

The U.S. Navy ordered its ships to the scene of a hijacking off the coast of Somalia Wednesday after pirates commandeered a U.S.-flagged cargo ship crewed by 20 U.S. citizens.
Officials would not say how many Navy ships are on the scene nor would it confirm the nationality of the crew members, but sources told FOX News the Danish-owned ship is operated by U.S. shipping company, Maersk Line Limited.
Pentagon Spokesman Bryan Whitman said he has "no information to suggest the 20 crew members of the Maersk Alabama have been harmed by the pirates."
The Department of Defense has taken the lead on information-gathering. Whitman declined to comment when asked if military action would be taken.
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the White House is "closely monitoring the apparent hijacking of the U.S.-flagged ship in the Indian Ocean and assessing a course of action to resolve this situation."
"Our top priority is the personal safety of the crew members on board," Gibbs said in a written statement.

The 17,000-ton Maersk Alabama was carrying emergency relief to Mombasa, Kenya, at the time it was hijacked, said Peter Beck-Bang, spokesman for the Copenhagen-based container shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk. A Kenya-based diplomat identified the crew as American, but Navy Spokesman Lt. Nathan Christensen declined to release details until family members of the crew are notified.
Just last week, A. P. Moller-Mærsk Group sold eight containerships to Maersk Line Limited to be run under a U.S. flag. The U.S. company also recently replaced eight older units flying U.S. flags, including the Maersk Alabama.
Flying under a U.S. flag means the ships are bound by U.S. law maritime regulations and can travel directly from U.S. port to U.S. port.
Christensen said the attack happened in the early hours of the morning, about 280 miles northeast of Eyl, a town in the northern Puntland region of Somalia. Andrew Mwangura of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Program said the ship was taken about 400 miles from the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
Just a day earlier, the Navy's 5th fleet warned "merchant mariners should be increasingly vigilant" when operating off the coast of Somalia.
"The area the ship was taken in, is not where the focus of our ships has been," Christensen told The Associated Press in a phone call from the 5th Fleet's Mideast headquarters in Bahrain.
"The area we're patrolling is more than a million miles in size. Our ships cannot be everywhere at every time," Christensen said.
Maersk does business with the U.S. Department of Defense, but Christensen said the vessel was not working under a Pentagon contract when hijacked.
"Our initial concern is to ensure proper support of the crew and assistance to their families," Maersk said in a statement.
The vessel is the sixth to be seized within a week and the first with an all-American crew.
At least 12 of the Americans aboard the Maersk Alabama are members of the Seafarers International Union, spokesman Jordan Biscardo said. The union is trying to get as much information on the situation as it can, he said.
"It goes without saying we're deeply concerned and we're closely monitoring the story," Biscardo said.
Biscardo would not immediately release the names of the union members aboard the vessel. The Seafarers International Union represents unlicensed United States merchant mariners sailing aboard U.S.-flag vessels.
FOX News' Justin Fishel and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

First let me say thank you to Marilyn's Personal Care Services on behalf of the Menete family. Our father recieved the best care while residing at this facility. He had terminal cancer and was too difficult for us to handle. We were so leery to leave him in the care of someone other than a family member but MPCS gave us the assurance we need to be comfortable with our decision. Our father was treated with all the tender loving care we would have provided. We cannot say thank you enough. We highly recommend those who have a loved one in need of a home health care facility to allow MPCS to take care of your loved one too! Thank you again MPCS.... Appreciatively yours, The Menete Family

I am really grateful for being able to have my father in MarIlyn's care. I never had to worry about the kind of care that my father would be receiving. Every time I came to visit my father while he was in her care he was always clean, happy, and always eating very good. Thank you for taking great care of my father.

Product Description
Grasshopper, Toddler Shoes
Sizes 13cm to 16.8cm
A very lightweight and flexible shoe for the trendy Bugalug! A flexible rubber sole is fantastic for freedom of movement. One velcro fastener that adjusts for many foot widths. The tongue comes out really far to make it easy to get feet in properly, and the little tab at the back is great for pulling shoes on to.
WE SAY These are our favourite transition shoes for cruisers who are gaining confidence and getting ready for Toddler Shoes as they are the lightest shoe in our range, SOOO soft, SOOO flexible, the genuine leather can get kicked and dragged without scuffing, mud and dirt wipes straight off, and they still look like new. They just make it easy for little toddlers to get toddling!! Both our kids wear them and we can't rate them highly enough.
Width: ideal for medium width and narrow feet, acceptable for most wide feet too
Upper: Genuine Leather
Inner: Mesh
Sole: Flexible Rubber
****A note on sizing: At Bugalugz, we size all our shoes by the innersole length. Why? Because a massive 97% of labelled shoe sizes are wrong! We use a special tool to measure the innersoles of all our shoes, so they're totally accurate. To choose the correct size for your little one, measure their foot (standing if possible) and add 1/2 a centimetre, then round up.

The companies sued Rutgers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in June 2006, for the recovery of an earlier court judgment against the insured company—Pelcrete Construction Inc.—which...

Dear Devotees and Friends. Hare Krishna.
We are very happy to announce the upcoming seminar on Deity Worship and invite you all to attend. It is a great opportunity to learn and deepen your knowledge and experience with Arca Vigraha – the Deity form of the Lord.
Srila Prabhupada:
"He has agreed to be seen by us through the arca-vigraha, the Deity. We should not think that the Deity is made of stone. Even if it is stone, we should think that Krsna has made Himself visible before us like a stone because we cannot see beyond stone. That is Krsna's mercy. Because our eyes and other senses are imperfect, we cannot see Krsna present everywhere in His original spiritual form. Because we are imperfect, we see the difference between things spiritual and material, but Krsna, being absolute, knows no such distinctions. He can become spiritual or material, however He likes, and it does not make any difference to Him. Being almighty and omnipotent, Krsna can change matter into spirit and spirit into matter. Therefore we should not think, as the atheists do, that we are worshiping idols. Even if it is an idol, it is still Krsna. That is the absolute nature of Krsna. Even if we think that the Deity is a stone, or a piece of metal or some wood, He is still Krsna. The understanding of this requires bhakti on our part. If we are a little thoughtful and philosophical, and if we are at all inclined toward bhakti, we can understand that Krsna is present in stone."

Clarins 30 Days of Beautiful + Clarins Double Serum Review
May 22, 2014 by admin
Filed under Accessories
I'm not one to wear tons and tons of makeup. My makeup routine is pretty simple: a dusting of powder foundation, a dab of bronzing powder and lots of mascara. But I noticed after having Joseph that my makeup routine was not cutting it – my skin was dull and just overall blah due to all the pregnancy hormones. In addition to replacing all those cups of coffee with water, I've been looking for a product that would allow my skin to breathe and shine on its own. Which is why I was super excited to be offered the 30 of beautiful challenge and try the new Clarins Double Serum! I've been a fan of Clarins for many many years and I've heard amazing stuff about the Double Serum.
Clarins Double Serum is powered by 20 pure plant extracts and potent, high-tech molecules—Double Serum's innovative, dual chamber system combines two age-defying formulas into one groundbreaking serum that reactivates skin's vital functions and promising results in just 4 weeks. I wanted to give this product a really fair shot so I went without makeup and moisturizer during the 30 days (only during my days at home) and let the product really do its thing.
I religiously applied it after washing my face in the morning and at night. One of my favorite things about the double serum is the smell – it's divine and exactly like you'd expect any Clarins products to smell – rich ! I gave it a couple of days before I started to analyze my skin but I could literally feel it working. My skin immediately felt more plump and softer. Within 2 weeks it was noticeably brighter to the point where I was able to skip my foundation and that's when I was hooked! After the full 30 days my pores and small fine lines were less noticeable. And it didn't aggravate my sensitive oily skin which is a HUGE plus for me.
I realize that no amount of makeup or beauty product will ever match natural beauty but there comes a time in life when you need a little help, and Clarins Double Serum definitely does the trick and then some! So glad I tried this out – it has inspired me to keep up my new skin regiment and wear even less makeup.
Don't forget you still have time to enter Clarins #30DaysofBeautiful challenge. Just head on over to Instagram, snap a picture of something you find beautiful and tag it with the hashtag for a chance to win your own bottle. ***Ends May 22nd at 11:59 PDT
"Clarins combines two age-defying formulas into one ground breaking serum that firms skin, reduces wrinkles, evens skin tone and minimizes pores. 90% of women find it more effective that their current serum. Proven for all skin types, all ages, and all ethnicities."

Finding Our Way Again by Brian Mclaren
Chapter One Searching for Everyday Sacredness
Page 3 "I think it's because Buddhism presents itself as a way of life, and Christianity presents itself as a system of belief. So I would want to get Christian ministers thinking about how to rediscover their own faith as a way of life because that's what people are searching for today. That's what they need the most"
Page 3
Without a coherent and compelling way of life, formed in community and expressed in mission, some of us began losing interest in the system of belief.

Mission Moment for Friday, Sept. 18th
Genesis 18:14 has a great line, "Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? This was in response to Sarah laughing at the thought that she could have a baby. She was old, Abraham was old, and it was time to give up the dream. This is a reminder once again, that if God is for us, who can be against us? We have a tons of options for mission and ministry at MLC. Sometimes we get worried or concerned about how it is all going to happen. We can be encouraged by these words. God has done great things at MLC and God will continue to do even greater things. The joy of faith, is just watching and seeing God in action! Did you know that we have the largest confirmation class in our history? Seven students in the current class with 3 to be confirmed in 2016. God is good!

Mission Moment for August 21st, 2015
In the book of Acts Christianity is a fledging new religion. We can learn much from this book on how to do mission in 2015. The new church did two very important things. They gathered in community to focus on their faith. They prayed and did communion with one another. They grew in their love for each other. This movement than extended out into the community. Where they saw need, they loved. It is this "love" that made people curious. What is this Jesus and this "love" all about?
Today we can talk about transformation. We certainly need to work on our personal transformation and MLC's transformation. But there is a third transformation, that of our community. What does Maricopa need? We have folks involved with food pantry, library and some help out at school. It would be nice to have the Women's Shelter open up, so we could help out there as well. We have our sponsorship of our scouts, Pack which is grades 3-5th, and Troop which is 6th-12th. We also help people with general needs in the community.
My challenge is finding more people to get involved. I am the only MLC person connected right now with Scouts. They meet on Tuesday nights. If there are people out there with scouting in their background, or a simple love for children, you have an opportunity to get involved. Please let me know.
Secondly, where else can we serve in the community? Can we be ambassadors for the city? Can we attend school board meetings? I am sure there are many community needs and I just ask you to open your eyes to those needs. Once needs are identified, we can search for people who have a passion for that need. Secondly, the challenge is to step up and get involved in some way.
"We love because he first loved us"
Any thoughts on this matter please respond!

Mission Moment: Cultural Context
People have said that our culture is more like the book of Acts than any moment in recent history. I am not sure about that because in the book of Acts, Christianity was an unknown religion. The church had to go out into the world to spread the Gospel. They had no other choice. In our culture, people have an idea of what Christianity means, good or bad. There are lots of assumptions such as the church only wants money to support itself or that the church is only for good people.
Lutherans have a great theology bound by two words, Christ and Grace. Christ's does the work, and Grace we receive as a gift. At issue is that people do not understand or fail to see how much God loves them. It is hard to understand Grace in a world measured by what you do, right or wrong. Maricopa Lutheran has done a great job of attracting Lutherans that have moved into the area. We must celebrate and continue to embrace our Lutheran church people. At the same time, can we imagine being a place that is so exciting and intriguing that non-Lutherans will come and check us out?
People are less concerned these days about denominations and more concerned about being fed by God's word and being transformed. What can we do to connect all people in our community? What would you like to see happen that would help make Maricopa Lutheran stand out even more?

Discipleship Formation
Jesus tells us to make disciples of all nations. A disciple follows and does what Jesus does. A disciple also helps to create other disciples. We can readily list the "problems" of the church usually reflected in the "not enoughs." We don't have enough people, money or whatever. The answer is a faith issue. Are we willing to be disciples? Are we willing to help create new disciples? Can we think about always growing, learning helping to make a difference in this world?
We have our five principles for MLC. We have a mission statement. How do we grow people? I recognize that the Holy Spirit has a place in all of this. People are at different levels of their faith and their commitment to their Lord and their church. I want to develop a plan for Maricopa Lutheran. Some have used classes on healthy faith practices. That certainly could be done. I think mentoring is part of the process. Jesus spent 3 years with his disciples. If we were to have a plan for Maricopa Lutheran Church what would that plan look like? What should be included?

Equipped for Evangelism and Generosity
I remember a conversation when deciding on our denomination's new name. People wanted the word Evangelical in the name so that people would be reminded that we are called to reach out beyond our walls. Lutheran churches were not started in America to reach new people and make them Christians. They were started so that all the Lutherans from Europe would have a good Lutheran church to attend. For the longest time our main method of Evangelism was simply to have lots of children and raise them Lutheran. That strategy no longer works. Evangelism is quite simple. Start with our friends and as the relationship goes, invite them to church. If they have a church home celebrate with them. What happens over time is that we stop inviting people. So to be an inviting church means that the church people invite others to join. If being a Lutheran Christian is the best thing in the world, don't we want others to enjoy and embrace the grace of Jesus Christ?
Generosity doesn't just happen by itself. Generosity grows out of an understanding that we are all blessed by God. It grows out of a commitment to not only God but the mission of God in the world. Most of us hold onto our stuff, our time, and often give out of our surplus. Yet to be a generous person will require us to take a leap and trust that God will honor our generosity. Yes, it is better to give than to receive. You can begin with small steps and decide to up your giving to God's work in the world. This might be time or money but whatever the case, do it joyfully. You will not be disappointed.
Questions: Have you ever invited someone to church, if not, why not? What was that experience like?
Why do you give and what happens to you and others when you do?
Why do you give and what happens to you and others when you do?

Fellowship with God & Each Other
Mission Moment for June 26, 2015
We have an idea of what fellowship usually means. We label rooms as Fellowship Hall and this is where cookies and coffee is served. Fellowship is not just casual conversation. Fellowship is being accepted as part of the body of believers. It is the opportunity to connect with each other. Some of fellowship may be general chitchat. Some may be conversations around health or spiritual matters. Whatever the case, fellowship when practiced best, means that people are connected and cared for.
It would be hard to imagine us having cookies and coffee with God. One would think the questions and answers would be significantly deeper. We can have fellowship by asking God to join us in our daily journey. We can certainly use prayer to connect. We can also ask God to celebrate with us as well. Fellowship also includes everyone. This means we look for ways to bring people into caring conversations and invite God to walk with us.
How can prayer be a conversation with God?
What person or persons could we deepen our relationships with?

113 bis, rue de l'Ouest - 75014 Paris
The hotel stands in the south part of Montparnasse quarter where the Parisian life is not influenced by tourism. Here residences, bistros, local restaurants and small shops follow one another. It just takes 10 minutes walk to the north to retrieve the liveliest area of Montparnasse quarter with its cinemas, restaurants, brasseries, theatres,… If you are courageous, you can even walk to the Latin quarter and Saint Germain des Pres.
Metro station "Pernety" (line 13) is 200 metres away from the hotel. It takes you within a few minutes to Montparnasse railway station, Invalides between the Eiffel tower and Saint Germain des Pres and also to the Avenue des Champs-Elysées. Take the same line to the south and 2 stops later you can catch the tramway and reach the Porte de Versailles exhibition park: Paris Expo.
As soon as you go into the hotel, the atmosphere changes completely. Here, everything is done for your well-being and anticipate customer needs. Soft tons combined with bright colors, effects of lights and transparence, a customized service, a technology of avant-garde.
A full buffet breakfast awaits you in the morning.
You can take a sauna if you want to relax and access our business corner equipped with a PC connected to internet and a printer if you need to work, check your e-mails or surf on the web.
Note that wireless internet connection wifi is available free of charge in the hotel including rooms which are also equipped with a data port.
The hotel is quite small with 17 guest rooms divided into 3 categories: Cosy, Charme, Plaisir. It allows a more personalized service.
In all rooms, the equipment is quite similar but decoration is unique to every room.
All rooms are non smoking and equipped with individual air-conditioning, double glazing windows, flat screen TV with international channels, direct telephone, mini-bar, safe deposit box, internet connection via wifi and cable, wardrobe. Bathrooms offer a shower, washbasin with lighted mirror, hair dryer and wc.
Rooms category Cosy have double bed of 140 cm and the room size is 10 sqm. Every bathroom has a window.
Rooms category Charme have queen size beds and their size is 11 sqm.
Rooms category Plaisir are more spacious with 13 to 14 sqm and offer larger TV screen. They all have a coffee, tea and chocolate machine. Three of them are equipped with a bath instead of a shower. They can be sold as double with a queen size bed or as twin with 2 single beds.
My wife and me are very pleased with the way we were welcomed, the quality and comfort of the room and also the breakfast offered was excellent. If asked, I will recommend Le Fabe Hotel to everyone.

I started reading her work back 15+ years ago. Her discovery of parasites involved in every money maker of the pharmaceutical cartel felt exactly right, although very different from the cartel's mish-mass of reasons, or lack of reasons. For the first time ever, all the 'diseases' made sense. There was a reason for all the big and little health problems.
I put down my useless cartel hyped products (of course I fell for others along the way–which is why I know from hard experience anything from the cartel I tried NEVER worked, or maybe kinda sorta works but in the long run made things worse). And don't fall for that over acid crap—sheesh, it's been the worst thing I ever fell for! It's caused no end of problems still affecting me today. Blah!
I realize now I never needed it, it just sounded like a 'good' idea–pure hype. And NO, it doesn't stop cancer at all. I'm sure they've modified the fungus cancer really is into being ok with alkalinity. (it did get rid of my dandruff though, another fungus). My cancer started after not zapping for a few years, but I already was pretty alkaline and pushed myself into it further, buying the lie that it would help. Nope. It took me months to get back to a healthy PH balance.
But anyway, back to doctor Clark. I didn't have any doubt her equipment worked–I even tried a sycrometer, to see. It was spot on with what few things I tried, once I got the hang of getting the resonance to happen predictably. But it was much like a violin (which I've played)–not a guitar (which I've also played) YOU had to play the right note without any frets to guide you. It is very manual, or at least was.
So her awareness of the combination of parasites and toxins threw open the door wide for me. I got a zapper–clark style, since that was all there was back then and the herbs and off I went. I found my car muffler had a leak, checking out the various sources of toxicity she talks about—the toxin stuff seemed pretty over the top, so other than look for obvious stuff, I just decided to do all that clean up stuff as I could.
Funny thing is, I've never needed to–I've gotten quite healthy with only getting a new muffler. I know now (from the memories in the collective unconscious) those were written by a team of 'elite' disinformation agents, under that Dentist's control. They were in fact trying to scare the heck out of everyone aka fear mongering and make her protocol far too daunting and odious, so that people would give up. Plus make you spend thousands of your hard earned dollars replacing a mouth full of 'evil' fillings. It's like a wet dream for them that so many are falling for it.
Yes, there are toxins, for sure, but some, like thallium comes from personal care items, not fillings. Or that a lot of things aren't as prevalent or damaging as they hyped them to be. Stuff like that. They went thru her whole book and added the erroneous information very thoroughly. In return she wouldn't be 'dissappeared', and her clinic wouldn't be mysteriously fire bombed.
They had her fudge on their biggest money maker, cancer, too. She knew how to heal it, which means she knew it was a fungus, but she says only maybe some kind of virus. Her sycrometer wouldn't say–maybe some kind of virus. It would say exactly what kind of virus if it was one. Compared to her certainty for everything else, that's clearly something amiss.
She truly wanted to help humanity which ran her right up against the 'elites' and their cartel trying to kill humanity but slowly so they could get all our money first, but them being bigger and meaner, you can guess how that'd go, even without the rest of the story.
I read about Dr. Clark's education along the way, in the early days (wish I'd saved it), and in a bio of hers I read, she had a Ph.D in biophysics, with her thesis being something about the frequencies of life, not some bogus starfish muscle. The 'elites' rewrite history all the time to suit their agenda without any qualms, so getting a university (a nice big 'donation' no doubt) to change that kind of thing is very easily done. Probably after the folks she studied under and with died or something, so there's no way to verify.
Her master's in naturopathy was done strictly for licensing purposes. She hardly needed it, as she'd been helping folks for quite sometime before they forced her to get it so she could keep running her clinic.
But as I've said, from her protocol, I never had die off, got rid of diabetes type 1, a haital hernia (omg–talk about hurt) the start of arthritis, which my sister now has full on. And all by the time I finished the initial cleanse. Doing it as she instructed.
Not just running around all willy-nilly, buying a zapper and using it half butted and then whinging it didn't work. I'm thinking some of them didn't even try one, but part of the job is to say you did, and it didn't work. Most of them aren't even sick, to know if it would have. At least that's what I see when I look at the memories of the employees—er—I mean 'regular' posters here.
Plus Dr. Clark says this:
"Trying the zapper on an illness to see "if it works" is not useful. Your symptoms may be due to a non-parasite. Or you may reinfect within hours of zapping."
Most of the 'regular' posters here have no idea if zappers actually work, or even what to expect if they do. It's like buying a fancy toy robot with various trick commands outlined in the instruction manual, but then never reading the manual, and whining that their robot won't do tricks. Even if they're just pretending, it still makes my head hurt.
Anyway, Dr. Clark was very much a scientist, (She'd have made any CSI happy) following where the evidence led. I'm sure she wouldn't have liked my spiritual source at all—no documentation, you know. There was nothing wrong with her Science or the outcomes she got–only that it exposed the cartel's entire 'medical' industry lie. Every single modern disease she tested had a parasite and toxin. Every one (except high blood pressure). Can that be a coincidence, really? Every single one?
I can see the memories of them planning this huge almost unbelievably audacious scam since the early 1800's, laying in block after block. Getting their minions 'doctors' into every town, getting rid of the herbalists and midwives who'd recognize the symptoms as parasite infestations, pulling the electrical type instruments that actually could kill parasites in the '30's, 'discovering' and renaming new diseases that were just old parasite symptoms, developing poisonous pharmaceuticals that at first actually did help (had some anti-parasite stuff in 'em) to trick people into thinking 'drugs' worked better, and many more steps, all carefully instituted.
But then—Wham–Dr. Clark exposes it all, not even knowing she what she's done. I see them realizing the frequencies would give the whole scam away. That's part of why they destroyed Rife–so he didn't go there, but an idea will have it's time, and they weren't looking for a woman to be trained enough to do it. Plus she was in Canada–they aren't paying much attention to Canada–not known for it's innovation. They got to her as soon as they could but she'd already healed some very influential people, so when they jailed her ('dragged out of bed in the middle of the night' style) those influential folks didn't let up until the 'elites' brought her out to court.
The judge was appalled by their treatment of her, looked over the 'case' they had against her and promptly threw it out. He apologized profusely and immediately let her go. Oh they kept trying though, and her clinic made her very vulnerable. She really wanted to help as many as she could, and needed it to do that. I see her caving to their pressure more than once, when they threatened her clinic–I'm seeing that's the biggest reason for moving it to Mexico—The Mexican government (I see she helped one of the important men's wife) was supportive of her and they had no qualms about hurting/killing any invading U.S. mercenary sent to do damage.
In time, the 'elites' managed to buy some local Mexican agents, and the threats resumed I'm sure. And then, not trusting her to not put it all together, and expose the whole huge scam (and important people listened to her), they managed to get a gal on her kitchen staff, who put cadmium (obtained from a battery) into her oatmeal frequently.
I do see Dr. Clark trying to treat herself, but not realizing it was cadmium poisoning until it was far too late. 😦 And as the 'elites' always do to their enemies, they tried to destroy her credibility and the possibility of her being completely right. And claiming she died of 'cancer' which Cadmium poisoning mimics at the end. They really hated her.
That's why they always find child p 0 r n type stuff on their whistle blowers computers too, or hanging in their closet by their belt, depending how badly they want to besmirch the person, surrounded by kiddy or fetish p 0 r n. And everyone stupidly believes them–just because their biggest scam of all 'free' media TV says so.

Hung from a tree or a wrought iron plant hanger, this fairly simple project will make a charmingly mod windsock garden lantern. During the day, it will add interest & texture. At night, it gives off a soft, ambient light that glows like a firefly - a nice touch for a summer evening lazing outside.
I used 1 yard of Hip Squares fabric from my Geo Grand organic fabric collection. There's enough white in the design to allow plenty of light to show through. Any similar whitish fabric will work. I made one using voile a few years ago; this time, however, I opted for a more opaque fabric b/c I didn't want the actual strand of lights to be visible when lit.
+ "Windsock" is used to refer to the shape & basic idea, not the application. I wouldn't personally leave it outside blowing in the wind.
+ All steps are explained but not all steps are shown. Please read the instructions carefully so you don't miss something. It looks long, but it's just like making a simple back-tab-top curtain + a drawstring bag in one.
+ I used a 3/8" seam allowance, except where noted.
+ The design shows 8 tabs, but there are really only 4 tabs! I didn't realize my misengineering ways until I was ready to thread the lights...so disregard those extra 4 if you see them!!!
- 1 yd 44-45" wide fabric
- 5 self-opening/closing metal rings, 1" or 1.5" diameter
- 1 embroidery ring, 10" diameter
- 1 24' strand of white outdoor lights (mine is 24' of lights, 27' including cord)
- lightweight cotton twine or string
Helpful Tools (not critical for completion):
- rotary cutter
- sewing gauge with sliding marker
- 2" bias tape maker (mine is from Clover)
Make the tabs. Finished size: 1" wide by 3" long.
Some steps shown above.
- Cut one fabric strip 4" wide by 12" long. Use your 2" bias tape maker & skip to step 4, or follow all steps below.
- Fold & press in half (wrong sides together) to make center crease. Open up.
- Fold each long edge into center crease. Press.
- Fold in half, keeping edges inside crease. Press.
- Scant edge stitch down each long side. Cut into four 3" sections.
- Press 1/2" of each tab end toward backside.
Make the windsock tube. Finished size: approx. 16-16.25" wide by approx 37.75-38" long.
Some steps shown above and below.
- Cut fabric panel 33" wide (top/bottom) by 41.25" long (sides).
- With wrong side of fabric up, mark across top span with several hashes 1-3/4" from top. Repeat on bottom.
- On one side edge, mark once at 2-5/8" from top and once from bottom.
- Fold & press top and bottom edges toward back of panel at 1-3/4" mark. Stitch with 3/8" seam allowance from crease on both.
- Fold panel in half lengthwise, right sides together. Stitch side seam between 2-5/8" marks at top & bottom.
- Press seam open. Scant edge stitch around opening at top & bottom.
- Fold over entire top edge 7/8", toward wrong side of fabric. Press. Repeat on bottom.
- Sew a generous 3/4" seam allowance on top hem. Repeat on bottom. These will make the channels that the embroidery hoops will be fed through.
- ON BOTTOM EDGE ONLY: Sew scant edge topstitch to finish hem.
Attach tabs to fabric tube.
Some steps shown above.
- Working with wrong side out, finger crease or lightly press in half at the top. Open up, match up the creases you just made, and crease in half again. If you look at it from the top, the creases will be at 12, 3, 6 & 9 o'oclock.
- TIP: Make sure side seam on tube is slightly off-center so none of your creases coincides with it.
- Line up the center of each of your four tabs on each of the four crease you just made. Make top edge of tab flush with top edge of tube, as shown above. Pin in place.
- Make a scant edge topstitch long the opening at the top, carefully catching each tab as you go. Backstitch over each for strength if you like.
- Stitch the bottom edge only of each of your tabs to the body of the tube.
Insert hoops.
Some steps shown above.
- Remove nut & bolt from hinge of outer hoop, flatten hinge against hoop with a pair of pliers. You can also gently pull the hinge out, but be careful not to splinter the hoop (been there, done that).
- Cut the inner hoop with a pair of scissors (the wood is plenty soft).
- Turn fabric tube rightside out. Feed through the channels at the top & bottom.
Insert light strand.
Some steps shown above.
- Make sure your lights are working and tangle-free. Threading them takes some patience, and you don't want to find out you have a problem during or at the end of the process!!
- Check your "strand math." If you're using a 24' strand as I have, each straight length from top to bottom will be about 36". Here's how I figured the coil length in inches:
- 24 ft of strand x 12 in/ft = 288 in of strand
- 288 in / 8 coils in the fabric tube = 36 in per coil
- Count out how many lights there are per 36" (mine has 13). This way, as your threading, you can keep track of how much you have to go. Remember, it's all downhill once your halfway! :)
- If you were to open up the tube, the drawing of the light strand coil above shows you the basic idea.
Attach rings & string.
Some steps shown above.
- Cut three 12" strands per ring. Tie each bunch to a ring, leaving a similar length tail on each one.
- Stack all rings flush and pull out all strands together. Tie the 5th ring to all strands at once. You should have a very even, level hang of the 4 rings when you hold it up.
- Thread one ring through each of the tabs.
Whoosh! Now go hang your new windsock garden lantern, wait for the sun to set, grab your beverage of choice, cozy up with some good friends & enjoy! Happy Summer to you!

Sarah Payne
We welcomed our sweet baby girl, Madelyn, to this world in October 2013. Around her first birthday, Madelyn started making random, spontaneous movements. My husband and I knew about seizures from our jobs as an EMT and a school psychologist, respectively. Her movements didn't look like a "typical seizure," so we started recording them on our phones to show our pediatrician who referred us to a local neurologist.
The neurologist determined Madelyn had epilepsy, which was devastating to hear and even scarier that we didn't know what form she had. Madelyn never had an episode while under EEG monitoring, making a specific diagnosis difficult. We began trying various oral medications to manage the seizure clusters, but they kept increasing in frequency and duration.
One week before a family vacation to Galveston Island, Texas, it was decided that Madelyn would begin daily ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) injections when we returned home. ACTH is often used to treat infantile spasms, a specific type of epileptic seizure. And, while Madelyn's symptoms were not typical of infantile spasms, which most often are seen in infants 4 to 6 months of age, it was believed she did, indeed, have them. For the trip, we brought four tubes of Diastat (an emergency medication, injected rectally) to stop her seizures in an emergency. Madelyn had a seizure on each flight. The panic of being on an airplane in this situation was overwhelming. Over that week, we used all four syringes of Diastat, and our first stop when we arrived back in town was the pharmacy for a refill. We felt our lives changing as this became our "normal": a sense of hyper-vigilance in public places, always looking for the nearest restroom or exit to run to if she began having a seizure, and always having a Diastat within arm's reach.
Upon returning from Texas, we started the grueling process of administering ACTH. We did this every day for six weeks, but it didn't work. Holding my 1-year-old down to give her a shot was not the bedtime routine I dreamed of when I thought of becoming a parent. At the time, Madelyn was having five seizure clusters per day, each lasting up to 20 minutes in length. I couldn't accept that this was how our lives would be.
I then found Children's Minnesota and Minnesota Epilepsy Group. We met with Dr. Nitin Agarwal and in August 2015, following an overnight EEG study, it was confirmed that Madelyn had infantile spasms. We left Children's feeling hopeful that we finally had a confirmed diagnosis and confident in the new treatment plan. Madelyn was prescribed Sabril, a different medication to specifically treat infantile spasms. We started the treatment on a Thursday and within a day Madelyn stopped having seizures but became sedated. On Friday morning, I couldn't wake Madelyn up. We took her to see our doctor, and she was admitted to our local hospital. After two days of sedation, Madelyn was transferred to the St. Paul campus of Children's Minnesota via ambulance.
We spent more than two weeks at Children's while Madelyn underwent what felt like every test under the sun. It was then determined that a urinary tract infection along with the new medication had made her sedated. Sabril was held for two days while she was treated with antibiotics for infection and then reintroduced slowly, all while we were in the hospital under observation. We went back home with a treatment plan and a conscious child, but we worried what the future would hold.
We've learned that treating seizures is no simple task; it requires a lot of communication with your provider, patience and frequent medication tweaks. If Madelyn had a cold, hadn't slept well the night before, hadn't eaten well that day, her seizures increased; it was a balancing act.
In October, after Madelyn's second birthday, she had a G-tube inserted in her abdomen to deliver nutrition into her stomach and stabilize growth and hydration. Madelyn's last seizure was in the hospital as she recovered from the G-tube surgery. Fast-forward seven months and she is still seizure-free.
We live in Wisconsin, where Madelyn has a primary care provider, and we travel to Children's Minnesota and Minnesota Epilepsy Group every three months for specialized pediatrics neurology, genetics and immunology care. Having infantile spasms has brought other challenges, so I can't say that our lives are completely worry-free. However, we couldn't accept that uncontrolled, frequent seizures would be a part of our daughter's normal, and now it's not. It's possible that she may develop another type of epilepsy in the future.
But for now, we'll enjoy the calm.
This blog post was written by Sarah Payne, mother of Madelyn. She writes about Madelyn and her family at Journey with Madelyn.

Unfortunately, Australia really is a sunburnt country. Despite initiatives to promote skin cancer awareness, we still have one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world. Slopping on 15+ sunscreen and slapping on a hat are two obvious ways to protect ourselves from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.
This is particularly important for children and teenagers, to avoid problems later on in life, according to the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Research Institute. Log on to the ABCs of Melanoma to learn more about this malignant and deadly cancer.
This is the first search engine and directory we have come across that specialises in cleaning equipment and services. Sifting through its extensive database is straightforward.
First, type in the business name or select the appropriate category. Everything from blinds and home-cleaning services to swimming pool maintenance and vacuum cleaners are covered here. Then enter your postcode and state, and the site will fire back companies in your suburb that are able to supply the cleaning goods or services you need.
You can limit the results to those businesses with email, websites or retail outlets. The site also offers cleaning hints to help you get a sparkling result, whether for the bathroom, the kitchen or the floors.
With the Australian ski season fast approaching this site may serve as a useful tool to mentally prepare you for the slopes. You'll be able to picture yourself flying down all manner of runs by viewing pictures of them on Snoweye.
This site links to hundreds of webcams in ski resorts around the globe and you can quickly zoom in on any of them. After selecting the country and region using the drop-down menus, the site provides thumbnail pictures. Click on one to enlarge it. One moment you can be gazing at Adelboden, Switzerland; the next, the Cardrona Resort in New Zealand.
Youngsters might like to build a digital collage using this online art tool. The site takes some time to load if you're using a dial-up connection. You simply open up the various picture collections and then drag items onto a work pad.
The options are endless - you can put a hammerhead shark on top of the Taj Mahal or an ant getting stuck into a hamburger. Then print out the collage and impress your friends.
Every now and then it's good to log on to a site that caters for gun aficionados, hunters and other National Rifle Association members to get a clearer idea about how enthusiastic some people are about such weapons.
Sure, it won't make you sleep any easier knowing that Gallery of Guns is running a promotion such as the Great Gun Giveaway, but nonetheless this US gun wholesaler is an eye-opener. You might like to drop into the discussion centre to chat about the merits of Michael Moore's anti-gun documentary, Bowling for Columbine.

Pharmacy owner pleads guilty to obstructing Medicare audit, settles for $2.5M
The owner of two pharmacies in Alabama has pleaded guilty to charges of obstructing a Medicare audit. He will pay a $2.5 million government penalty.
Rodney Dalton Logan, 63, was charged with trying to stop a 2012 federal audit of Medicare claims submitted by his pharmacy, Leighton Pharmacy Inc.
CVS/Caremark Inc. was an auditor on Medicare's behalf related to prescription drug claims for Medicare Part D. Part D prohibits reimbursement to pharmacies for compounded medications made using bulk pharmaceutical powders.
Both of Logan's pharmacies had retail and compounding components. The pharmacies sold Part D reimbursement for compounded medications, such as bulk powers, which is prohibited under Part D, authorities said. Logan responded to the 2012 audit by submitting falsified or misleading documents, which led to an investigation by FBI, HHS-OIG and FDA-OCI, according to court documents.
The deal was announced last month, but Logan officially pleaded guilty Thursday.
