I gripped the steering wheel as if it was my one and only lifeline. Hot, angry, hurt tears made trails on my cheeks as I watched the radio clock tick another minute.
Midnight. 12 a.m.
It was a new day, but I felt as though it was a night that was going to linger endlessly and never take the pain away. Our one year old son (our only child at the time) slept peacefully in his car seat, clueless of what was going on.
Clueless. Oh, how I wanted to be clueless of the man my husband had become. I wanted to be clueless of the fact that the man who returned from Afghanistan was not the same man I had tearfully kissed goodbye several months back.
I noticed it that ride home after our initially joyful reunion. The man sitting next to me had changed. He had become a stranger, despite the countless letters we wrote during the deployment.
As the months went by, I noticed how different he'd become. He struggled with his belief in God. He became angry and distant. He grew stressed. His fuse drew shorter and shorter, and he became all too familiar with the taste of alcohol.
I found myself praying every morning; praying that we would have a good day that day. That I would be able to reach through the shell of the man I had married.
He never became abusive. He was just angry . . . all the time. He said things I knew he didn't truly mean. But, I was weary. I watched the man I loved so much deteriorate before my eyes. I felt as though I didn't even know him anymore.
Then, we found out we were pregnant with our second baby. I was terrified. I did not want to bring another baby into this. I did not want our children to suffer with a father who was slowly becoming an alcoholic.
I released the grip of the steering wheel to pick up my cell phone. I paused as I listened for the voice of my mother-in-law.
"Mom? I can't. I can't do this anymore. Evan got drunk again and we fought, and it was awful. I left. I have Ian in the car, and we're sitting in the Walmart parking lot. I'm prepared to just drive right now and leave. We might be at your house tomorrow."
I was serious. I was ready to leave without even saying goodbye. I wasn't thinking divorce. I just wanted to get away; for us to take a break from each other. My husband needed help, but I didn't know how to help him.
Then, my mother-in-law surprised me.
"Lydia, you know that dad and I will be here to welcome you with open arms if you decide to leave. But, is this really what you want? Are you sure you're ready to throw in the towel just yet? Leaving might make him wake up to what he's doing, but it also might not be the best solution. If you can work through it, don't give up just yet."
I cried. No, sobbed. I didn't want to leave, but I also didn't want to stay. I didn't want another night of alcohol, another night of fighting that would just leave me full of hurt and praying for the man I originally married to come back.
I put the car into drive and found myself on the dimly lit road back to our home.
I was going to make it work, and we would push through.
That was when I learned how much my husband was hurting. Over time, he began to open up about the atrocities that he had seen and, unfortunately, during his time over there, he had fallen away from the Lord. It's no wonder he had turned to alcohol. His mind was full of pain, and he felt as though there was nowhere to turn.
He had PTSD and was struggling to face that reality.
Eventually, the man I married did come back, albeit deeply scarred. But, our life improved vastly over time.
Perhaps you are in this situation. Perhaps you have a spouse suffering from PTSD, who is in denial. Are you finding yourself spending nights crying and praying?
I was there too. But, over time, things can get better! And there are some things you need to know.
It's okay to mourn the loss of the person you married.
That man standing before you today is not the same person you married. Yes, his physicality is the same, but the embodiment of who he was seems to be in the distant past. It is okay and possible to mourn the loss of that person while still loving him no matter what. Let yourself cry. Let yourself grieve. But, hold onto hope that he can still possibly come back, just not quite the same as he was before.
Understand that the things he has seen and experienced have forever been burned on his mind.
Men are great at compartmentalizing, but they are unable to erase those images and experiences that any human being would buckle under. Realize that in the moment of combat, he has to press forward no matter what and it isn't until he is in a moment of safety again that he can truly process what has happened. The adrenaline wears off and he is left with the images that are now planted on his mind forever.
It is hard for him to talk about.
Don't press him. Honestly, you probably don't even want to know. The only reason I know some of the things I do is because my husband told me when he was relaxed from alcohol. I'll never forget the one night that he buckled under the weight of what he was carrying and dropped his head into my lap and cried. All I could do was stroke his hair and cry along with him.
Your spouse has been through a lot and beyond that hard exterior is a man who is hurting, crying out in pain.
He often doesn't even know what he's angry about.
Extreme anger is one of the biggest telltale signs of PTSD. All the pain that they are carrying mentally leaks out in anger. They have a heavy burden and it subconsciously makes them irritable, tense, and able to blow up about the littlest thing.
Now, if your husband is becoming abusive, that is NOT okay. He really is in a lot of pain, but you must not allow yourself to become a subject of his physical anger. If you are in danger, get you and your children (if you have any) to safety as soon as possible! Then, you can work on getting help for all of you from a distance.
He had spent several months under intense activity and relaxing just isn't easy.
This is one of the reasons many turn to alcohol. They just do not know how to relax. Their minds are in constant overdrive. It's hard to get out of a mindset of months and months of constantly looking for IEDs, dodging bullets, and wondering if the next step you took would be your demise.
Pray for him.
You are probably already doing this. But, pray heaven down for him. Pray for God to protect his mind and put a hedge of protection around him. Pray for strength for yourself and for an understanding heart.
Prayer was one of the biggest things that helped me get through this season of our marriage.
Seek support from family and friends, preferably people who want the best for your marriage.
Find someone to talk to. You need to be able to talk about what's going on. I had friends at the time who were going through similar struggles. We were able to talk about the pain and the hurt and pray for each other. We encouraged each other to push through and hang on.
Please make sure that the people you are seeking support from are ones who truly support you and your husband and want the best for your marriage. Try not to seek support from people who are bent on destroying what you have.
Get help from counselors and find therapy programs on base.
One of my friends told me about a Christian PTSD therapy program on base called, REBOOT. This program was designed specifically for helping marriages through PTSD struggles. I signed us up and my husband agreed to go, though he wasn't initially very thrilled about it. We weren't able to attend for the entirety of the program, but what we did attend helped.
Every military installation has multiple counseling options and many of them are free. Even if your spouse does not want to seek help, you can still attend sessions to help you know how to wade through the struggles.
Don't lose hope.
Above all, don't lose hope. Your husband will eventually come back to you. It will take time, so be patient. He needs help to work through the things he has seen and will never forget. He needs to learn how to do life again.
Give him time. Give him space.
Give him love.
He needs someone to have faith and hope in him. He won't be the same person he was, but he will be able to do life again.
There IS marriage after combat.
You will find happiness again. You will have a new, GOOD normal.
My husband and I have come through it, and we're doing very well. He doesn't turn to alcohol anymore. His relationship with God has taken a 180, and he is one of the most spiritually strong men I know. On top of all this, he has learned to work through his anger.
Honestly, I think our marriage is so much stronger now because of this. God helped us push through, and we have learned to work through it.
You can too.
There is marriage after combat!

When you are on a diet and counting your calorie intake, Vietnamese food in Singapore is the best choice. There is a wide variety to choose from and a lot of options that you can take. Going on a Vietnam diet is effective in losing weight as long as you know what to do and what not to do. It is easy to go on a Vietnam diet since there are a lot of restaurants that serves Vietnamese dishes and they even offer a delivery service. Vietnamese dishes are easy to prepare if you are planning to cook them on your own. Here are some tips on how you can maintain a low calorie diet by eating healthy Vietnamese foods:
Know What Vietnamese Dishes Are Low In Calories
Not all Vietnamese dishes are low in calories. If you are counting your calorie intake, it is important that you know what Vietnamese foods contain low calorie.
The dishes that are low in calories are:
- La Pho or Canh Hua Soup
- Vegetable skewers which can be a good substitute for grilled spare ribs
- Roasted lean meat or fish
- Spring rolls, summer rolls or Vietnamese salad
- Simmered or steamed dishes
- Vietnamese Bouillabaisse
The dishes that have a higher calorie are:
- Dishes that contain peanut, but you can have the option for them not to add it on the dish
- Any pork and seafood with honey sauce or caramel sauce. Caramel sauce is high in sugar. Watch out for dishes that are mixed with Caramel sauce also known as nuoc duong thang.
- Fried dishes and deep fried spring rolls
- Spare ribs
Watch Out Of Your Food Portions:
- When eating noodle soup, look for something that has a lot of greens and herbs since they are good for you and they will make you full without doubling your food portion.
- If you are eating with your family, make sure that you are going to watch out for the food portion you are going to eat and select only the dishes that are low in calorie on the table.
- If you are going to eat in a restaurant, ask someone to eat half of your food or ask the waitress to separate the half for take-out even before your dish is brought to the table. You also can ask for a take-out container to put the half portion of your food so you will be able to remove it from your plate even before you eat.
Plan What To Order In A Vietnamese Restaurant Even Before Going There:
It would be an effective way not to be tempted by other high calorie dishes when you plan ahead what to order in the restaurant. It would be helpful if you are going to look into the restaurant website for dishes that they serve so you will be able to pick out low calorie dishes when you order. When you arrive at the restaurant, place your order without looking at their menu. You won't be tempted to change your order if you will not look into their menu before placing your order.
Prepare Your Own Vietnamese Food At Home
If you think that you won't be able to go out to eat at your favorite Vietnamese restaurant, it would be better to prepare your own Vietnamese dish since you will be able to control the ingredients. You can have the option to remove ingredients that will make your calorie intake higher.
Get A Vietnamese Food Delivery
To make sure that you are only going to eat foods that are low in calorie, have your Vietnamese food delivered in your office or at home. There are Vietnamese restaurants that have a lot of branches and do delivery services. It would be easy for you to buy your Vietnamese food in Singapore even though you are busy.
Most Vietnamese dishes are low in calorie; you just have to choose which are the right dishes for you. Train yourself to eat half portions instead of one whole portion. If you are tempted to eat foods that are high in calorie, then just eat a small portion or you can just taste a little to satisfy your craving.

Student project success with Aberdeen Airport
Third year BA (Hons) Media students recently worked on a project with Aberdeen Airport. The Managing Director, Derek Provan, said the collaboration was a positive experience which may be replicated in the near future.
"Working with RGU on our collaborative project. 'Keeping Health and Safety Alive', has been one of the highlights for Aberdeen Airport in 2012. The professionalism shown in the design and implementation of the project has led to the delivery of a marketing campaign of the highest quality and one that Aberdeen Airport are proud to promote.
The collaborative approach taken by the RGU team and students made the whole experience very positive and one that I am sure we will look to replicate in the very near future. Not only do the airport have a campaign that will now be promoted throughout all of our available channels but through this work we have also recruited one of the students involved to work with us at the airport during the summer recess.
I would happily recommend all organisations to get involved with RGU to realise tangible benefits for their business."

MEN are to be given counselling for post-natal depression on the NHS, it emerged yesterday.
Under the new scheme, fathers will be able to consult a group, set up to help them cope with a condition usually associated with women.
The project, called 'Fathers Matter', will be piloted in Basildon, Essex, by the South Essex Partnership NHS Trust.
It will begin in October and will be funded by a #3,500 grant from the Queen's Nursing Institute, a charity that supports community health schemes.
Trained volunteers will be on hand to provide confidential advice to distressed fathers whose partners have recently given birth.
The men will also be invited to fortnightly help group meetings at the Basildon office of mental health charity Mind.
'Fathers Matter' was the brainchild of Mary Alabaster, the manager of maternal mental health services at the trust.
A spokesperson for the trust said, "We are extremely proud of Mary and her ground-breaking work, which showed that fathers weren't getting as much support as they need.
"Pregnancy and the arrival of a new baby can be a stressful time for dads too, and Mary's pilot scheme looks to give new fathers access to psychological support and counselling.
"We hope this will lead to a nationwide network of counselling for male post-natal depression."
The subject of whether men can suffer from post-natal depression has long been debated among medical experts.
Dr John Cobb, a fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists is sceptical about whether the condition - which affects many women after childbirth - can be found in men.
He said, "It sounds helpful for men to discuss the problems that they are having.
"It is also true that men may well get depressed after their wives have a baby, but this is the same as any other form of depression. It is not post-natal depression."

By Mark Lamport-Stokes
LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) - The waiting game on whether or not Tiger Woods will compete in this week's PGA Championship entered a new phase on Wednesday when the former world number one arrived at Valhalla Golf Club for an afternoon practice round.
Woods, who withdrew midway through the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio on Sunday due to back spasms, has until his tee time on Thursday morning to register officially for the year's final major.
The 14-times major winner, who has dealt with a string of injuries during his career and had surgery in late March to treat a pinched nerve in his back, has delayed his decision while receiving further medical advice and treatment.
Woods and his caddie, Joe LaCava, arrived at the Valhalla clubhouse car park where a throng of photographers and television cameramen were waiting, one of them calling out: "Tiger, how's the back?" to be met with no response.
Wearing sunglasses and sporting a goatee, Woods got out of the car and changed his shoes before heading off to the practice range where he was joined by his swing coach Sean Foley.
He showed no sign of any discomfort as he warmed up before he set off, in front of huge galleries, from the par-four first in the company of fellow Americans Steve Stricker, Davis Love III and Harris English.
Woods exited the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in obvious pain after hitting his drive on the ninth hole of the final round. He said he had been enduring back spasms since the second hole.
The American had been competing in only his third PGA Tour event since being sidelined for three months after having back surgery, causing him to miss both the Masters in April and the U.S. Open in June.
Woods, who has been stuck on 14 major titles since winning the 2008 U.S. Open in a playoff, has played just seven tournaments worldwide this season with his best result a tie for 25th at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
He has withdrawn twice from his six PGA Tour starts and missed the cut in one other.
Prior to the Bridgestone Invitational, the 38-year-old finished 69th at the British Open after closing with a 75 for a six-over-par total of 294.
His appearance at Valhalla on Wednesday afternoon was the latest he has ever arrived before the start of a major championship, but U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson said he was "encouraged" by the former world number one's presence.
"He (Woods) said to me he really wants to make the (U.S.) team in the worst way," Watson told reporters at Valhalla. "This Ryder Cup is a big thing.
"It's a big, big, big event, and these players really want to make the team and bring that Cup back to the United States."
Woods would need to prove to Watson that he is fit enough to be given one of the three wildcard captain's picks for the Sept. 26-28 Ryder Cup against Europe at Gleneagles in Scotland.
"Obviously he's not in great health right now and he hasn't played very well," said Watson. "So the question is, will I pick him? Well, I can't tell until things happen in the next three or four weeks. It's speculation what's going to happen."
Woods is scheduled to tee off in Thursday's opening round at Valhalla along with former winners Phil Mickelson and Padraig Harrington at 8:35 a.m. ET.

Your income is high and steady. You are secure in your profession and will be able to command a high salary wherever you go. It is time to start living the kind of life you have always dreamed of. The many vendors offering Sea Ray boats for sale give you a chance to buy the one thing that will change your life immensely.
You are a lover of boats. When you are not in your office, away on business, or at home with your family, you like being out on the water. Owning a Sea Ray boat will allow you to do so at the times you desire. The boat can be renovated and its interior re-designed to suit your purpose. You no longer need to depend on the kindness and convenience of others. Buying your own boat will give you the opportunity to indulge your passion whenever you like.
You can buy a yacht that is sleek, sturdy, and reliable. It is then up to you to redecorate and renovate the interior as you see fit. Your weekends and summer holidays will never be the same. Rather than flying to foreign and exotic locales you can go to them by sea. This can be a much more scenic and relaxing way of traveling. It gives you the chance to take your time. You will be able to enjoy the wind, sun, and sea as you make your way to your destination of choice.
One of the main objections to owning a boat is the cost. Docking and maintenance fees are part of the package when you take on a boat of your own. Over a number of years, the cost can add up to a considerable sum. Fortunately, the market has responded to the increase in boat ownership by providing agreements by which proprietors share the expense of keeping boats. This is a great way of offsetting the yacht maintenance costs.
Purchasing a Sea Ray boat is not a little deal. It is a major purchase that you should consider carefully before doing it. You want the best. To get the best you must work with a vendor that has proven itself able to offer Sea Ray boats that are of the highest quality. Price is also important. Although spending money on a first-rate Sea Ray is a worthy investment, you should not be overcharged; you should not be forced to spend exorbitant amounts of money on your boat. You should also work with a vendor that is willing to stand behind its brand and its word.
Going online is the best way to find a vendor that can meet the above criteria. Doing so will enable you to evaluate the quality, value, and quality of each vendor that you come across.
It is a great moment in your life. Your career has nowhere to go but up. You are on top and will continue to rise. You have achieved much. You should show it by purchasing a boat that will give you the freedom to go to sea when it suits you.

Have you heard of "high dpi" devices? The chances are you might be using one already. High dpi is to do with the density of pixels on a computer screen. It really stands for pixels per inch, but is commonly referred to as 'dpi', a legacy of 'dots per square inch' from printing – how many dots of ink a printer could get on the paper. The more dots, the better the quality of the image.
Why are you telling me this? [The audience asks, hopefully having made it this far…]
With the growth of useful business devices like Microsoft's Surface Pro and Surface Book, as well as increasing proliferation of high dpi screens from other PC manufacturers, not to mention Apple's Retina display (it's Apple, so they made a brand around high dpi so it sounds like they invented it), business software users are discovering that some of their software doesn't look quite right on their shiny new devices.
[As a side note, dpi is not the same as resolution. Resolution is the size of a screen, but increasing dpi is about the density of pixels on that screen. So while the screen may not change in size, the density of pixels is increasing, thereby giving you more 'real estate' on the screen. (Also often seen as things getting smaller on your desktop.)]
This happened to our Synergy desktop software. The (sort-of) good news for us is that we weren't alone – it also happened to lots of Microsoft's own software, lots of banking applications, and many other enterprise systems. Really to any desktop software that was written to work to a maximum specification in a time before we knew anything about high DPI.
As Microsoft's Surface Pro and Surface Book (and other high DPI PCs) became more commonplace in our clients' businesses, we got more and more calls about Synergy not working on those screens.
In the release we've just put out for Synergy (4.9.6), we've corrected this issue for almost the entire application. This was no small undertaking. It required our developers to innovate (come up with) a solution and manually update over 500 forms and pages throughout the application. This hasn't been done before so there's no documentation on how to fix this issue.
Overall, this has so far taken over 105 hours of developer time, plus a further 80+ hours of QA, beta testing and documentation.
Let's just pause and think about that for a second. 185 hours? 185 hours of a senior designer's time at an architectural or engineering consultancy would equate to somewhere around $28,000 to $37,000 of billings.
The good news is that all clients who are on our support, upgrade and maintenance (SUM) plan get this update as part of the deal. That's right – we just spent 185 hours fixing our software because you all bought new computers! (Actually, so did we...)
That is a very clear illustration of the value of Synergy support, upgrade and maintenance (not to mention the continuing enhancement of the application).
Is it simply an evolution of devices? Or is it that the new Surface range is that good? We asked some clients why they found themselves upgrading their hardware to high DPI devices.
Let's face it, we often just like shiny new things and buy them without any idea what the consequences may be. Which is fair enough. Synergy v5, for example, is pure cloud software that you use through a browser. It doesn't suffer from high DPI issues (another reason we're building it).
It's also the nature of technology to continually evolve for better, and differentiated, products. Most PC manufacturers don't differentiate on high DPI. TV's do, though (and Macs). But all strive for better definition, clarity and resolution (see point above about resolution).
So there you have it. Synergy SUM got our clients 185 hours of development resources to make our software work on the new generation of computer screens. Bet you're glad you've got that support on your side…

Osteoporosis Then and Now
21 October 2013
Brittle bones (osteoporosis) also existed in the past and archaeological bone finds can teach us more about the disease. At Uppsala University's Campus Gotland a unique collaborative project is being run between osteologists and doctors of medicine.
Archaeological bone finds from Gotland, Skara, Varnhem and Sigtuna have been analysed within the project using modern medical technology to increase knowledge of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis or joint wear.
"A very productive collaboration," says Sabine Sten, who is a professor of osteology at Uppsala University.
"Doctors have patient contact and can give us the whole picture of the disease and how it is experienced by the patients. For doctors, it is interesting to see and feel bones, to 'feel the diagnosis' and see skeletal changes that perhaps are not visible on X-rays."
Among archaeologists osteology is an important skill, as bone is the most common finding during archaeological excavations. You have to be able to quickly determine which bones are of interest and be able to interpret them.
"Human bones from times gone by are slightly different from modern bone," says Sabine Sten.
"For the most part it's a question of strong bone and fine medical measurement values. On the other hand, it was common with joint wear. It is noticeable that they used their bodies and moved more in the past."
A total of 450 skeletons from the late Viking Age to the Middle Ages have been examined in the project. They have been X-rayed at Visby hospital and doctors in Visby and Gothenburg have measured the bone density. The bones have also been analysed with computer tomography and genetic analysis.
What can people from the Viking and Middle Ages teach us about osteoporosis, i.e. bone brittleness? One clear lesson is the importance of exercise.
"Today we sit too much and load the skeleton too little. Osteoporosis is affecting younger people as the children of today do not move as much as in the past," said Sabine Sten.
The research may also provide clues about the importance of diet. It's possible to see what the diet consisted of during the first years and the last 10 years of an individual's life by drilling into the bones and teeth and performing what is known as an isotope analysis. The question is how much did the diet differ between the different sites - between urban and rural, island and mainland.
"I thought that most Gotlanders ate seals and fish with a lot of vitamins, but this is not exactly true. Certainly they ate food from the sea, but also meat from sheep, cattle and pigs."
Sabine Sten is now planning a continuation of the project. One of her doctoral students has received a doctoral studentship at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg and will continue to do research on osteoporosis, from the Stone Age onwards.
FACTS/Bone diseases then and now
The Knowledge Foundation and the University of Gotland funded the project. The project was run in collaboration with the University of Stockholm, Västergötland Museum and the Sahlgrenska University Hospital. In total there were 12 partners. The project included about 450 skeletons of individuals in the age range 20-80 from the late Viking Age to the Middle Ages (950 to 15th century). The results were compared with data from living people at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg.

The scene could not have been written any better as rock superstar Bruce Springsteen and members of his band returned to a familiar New Jersey shore nightspot to sing My Hometown at a crowded benefit for workers facing layoffs in his native Freehold. About 500 people were jammed into the Stone Pony, the Asbury Park nightclub that helped spawn Springsteen`s career, when the rock star walked onstage unannounced about 11:30 p.m. Sunday. The bar was holding a fund-raiser for 450 workers expected to lose their jobs when 3M closes its audio and visual tape plant in Springsteen`s hometown this spring. The crowd greeted Springsteen and his band members with four minutes of raucous applause. ``Remember what we`re doing this for,`` Springsteen shouted as the band broke into My Hometown. The song, a ballad to blue-collar workers, describes the impact of a 1964 textile plant-closing in Freehold and has been adopted as an anthem by the 3M workers.
Merlin Olsen, the sportscaster and former All-Pro football player, is returning to prime-time television in March. Olsen, who played the title role on Father Murphy for three years, will star in Fathers and Sons, an NBC sitcom. Another new series, Fortune Dane on ABC, will feature Carl Weathers, Rocky Balboa`s rival-turned-friend Apollo Creed. Fortune Dane will replace Lady Blue.
Katharine Hepburn was considered a walking scandal when she wore pants in the 1930s but now she`s being honored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America for her style. ``We`re in a serious spot here when the original bag lady ends up inspiring dressing,`` Hepburn said in accepting a lifetime achievement award in New York. She told the audience that ``as a child I did resent rather being a girl,`` once going so far as to shave her head. Hepburn, who wore black satin pants and coat with a white scarf, had to be coaxed into appearing by designer Calvin Klein, who was on crutches at the black-tie dinner after a skiing accident.

text: PDF 289k 1 pages Downloads: 242 Download Overview Monthly surveys of non-U.S. citizen mba.com registrants show that international candidate preference for the U.S. as their study destination has stayed below the previous five-year average each month since the election, and has most recently declined for three consecutive months between September and November 2017. The primary drivers of the recent downturn are candidate concerns around their ability to obtain a job in the U.S. post-graduation and safety and security fears. Quick Facts International candidate preference for the U.S. as their study destination declined from 44 percent in November 2016 32 percent in February 2017. It steadily recovered through the summer (44% in August), and has since declined for three consecutive months (39% in November). Among the 1,992 non-U.S. citizen candidates surveyed between September and November 2017, 23 percent previously considered applying to a U.S. program but do not currently plan to apply.

CLI has been hosting service teams from churches and Christian schools. See all the photos in our Gallery on the top right.
We also received a Bible donation of 9,100 LP Bibles from Tyndale. We praise God for His faithfulness!
CLI's Large Print Bibles Give Hope
The text size makes them easier to read, and the New Living Translation makes them easier to understand. Soft cover Bibles are welcome in every jail and prison in the country.
Join us in praying that these CLI Bibles will forever change lives, just as our CLI Bible did for Theresa in Florida, who was given one by her cellmate.
"No words can give you hope, love, and encouragement like the word of God," she writes. "I especially appreciate this large print edition. It is only now, when God has placed me in a mandatory position to 'Be still,' that I am hungry for His word, His promises, and His love."
We praise God for the generous donors who made purchasing these Bibles possible!

Claye claims bronze in long jump
Garners first medal in a field event in history for Florida
Will Claye took home Florida's first field event medal in history, turning in an historic performance in the men's long jump on the second day of track & field at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Claye, who finished eighth in Friday's qualification round, leapt an astonishing 8.12m/26-7.75 on Saturday to earn a podium finish in the event. Claye's performance gave the United States its 48th medal in the men's long jump and its first since 2004 (Dwight Phillips-gold, John Moffitt-silver).
Claye has another medal opportunity, taking to the runway once again to compete in the men's triple jump alongside former Gator teammate and current Team USA teammate Christian Taylor.

Happy Pep Rally Monday, Misfiteers!
If you'll recall, we've changed up our format a little bit for these posts. Because we've all gotten so used to getting our thoughts down in 140 characters, we're taking the discussion to twitter! Every Monday, we'll be talking about our Pep Rally question on twitter and we'd love you to join in. Just keep an eye out for the #MisfitPepRally hashtag!
Currently, I'm in between WIPs. I have just finished the YA contemporary I was working on like a fiend these last couple of months, and although I'm toying with my other ideas--affectionately known as Secret SciFi, Spy Fantasy, and Magical MG--I've been enjoying a couple of days of doing exactly nothing to recharge for my new stories.
I mean, after I finally cleaned my house and did the dishes and caught up on laundry and cooked for the first time in days...
But aside from all those things I loved lounging around, catching up on my tv series, celebrating the return of 24, and spending way too much time on Twitter without feeling guilty. I even managed to finally, finally make a dent in my tbr-pile. Not to mention some of the betareads that had been gathering virtual dust on my Kindle. (Which usually leads to me stalking out many more.) (I mean, that whole not writing is nice and all, but I have to do something that involves stories!)
But what I love to do most between WIPs? What recharges me like it's nobody's business? Travel. I booked a trip to Ireland last night. I'm going to visit my Alma Mater in a couple of days. I'm looking forward to attending World Fantasy Con 2013 in a couple of months. And obviously it's not possible to travel across the world after every manuscript (I wish!) but day trips to unknown places are just as awesome. And even thinking about it, planning, going through photos?
There's nothing that makes me feel more ready to tackle the next story.
How about you? What do you do in between WIPs? What recharges you to tackle new stories? Join us on the hashtag! :D

Gratitude enables happiness. When you realize how lucky you are just to breathe, life seems a little easier.
Take a moment today to remember three things for which you are most grateful.
1. Baby C, my niece who is expected to come into the post-womb world today or tomorrow. I shall train her palate and nurture her oddness.
2. Chandler Bing, my cat.
3. American artisans and cheese makers who are providing our young nation with culture. Pun intended. The miracle of fine foods and coagulated dairy have the power to bring us happiness through our primal love of eating and our connection to animals and nature.
Last Saturday was Pastoral's 5th Annual Artisan Producer Festival. If you're not familiar, APF is Chicago's best free event for foodies. Every year, cheese makers, bread bakers, chocolatiers, distillers, brewers, and more gather at the Chicago French Market to sample out their product and spread some knowledge. It's a fantastic event that overexcites me into exhaustion. With the recent launch of CheeseSexDeath.com, I was on a mission to spread my curd word to the special people that make cheese magic happen. So, I wiped the drool off my chin, took deep breaths to downplay my erupting enthusiasm, and organized my cantering brain into a catchy, memorable pitch. "CheeseSexDeath.com, you can't forget it!" Maybe my mind is fogged with zeal, but I think it worked. After all, my goal is to help more people eat cheese.

It's gotta be the ones that burst out and crackle as they die away. I love fireworks, I love parades, and as a US History teacher, I love the 4th of July, or as I really call it, Independence Day. Who doesn't like to show their patriotism in celebration of the passing of a resolution to break away from England?
But let me introduce those patriotic readers among us to yet another really important day celebrating this great country- Constitution Day! Constitution Day is celebrated every September 17th – "by whom?" you might ask. Well, by many classrooms across the nation, such as mine in the recent past.
The timing was always pretty spot on because we'd be closing down the colonial era and gearing up to discuss the various documents upon which the Constitution was modeled, so the celebration served as a teaser, if you will, getting them excited about what was to come (maybe not as excited as me, but still). My students would be tasked with picking a favorite quote from a signer of the Constitution, and then we would spend part of class sidewalk chalking those quotes around the school, along with celebratory phrases like "Happy Constitution Day" and "Yea Constitution" dotted with lots of hearts and flowers.
Truly it made my heart sing to see all these juniors getting physical with the words of our nation's founders. Once we fully got to the study of the Constitution itself, we would learn about the anti-Federalists as well, and have debates about various points in the document. I could always count on the National Constitution Center to provide some engaging lesson plans. (It's a great place to visit too because it has bronze replicas of all the founders that you can touch. Ben Franklin is seated, so you can sit in Ben Franklin's lap! And of course I did!)
Though I wanted my students to have fun, I certainly needed them to have an emotional connection with the document so that they would take it seriously as young adults. Hopefully this translated into their taking voting seriously, and paying attention to the Constitution in the news. It's hard to say, though I do have one former student who wishes me a Happy Constitution Day every year. So celebrate this Saturday- not just your freedom, but this amazing document that has survived longer than any other written constitution in the world! USA! USA!
PS- If you do nothing else to celebrate this day, make sure you take the Founder's Quiz on the National Constitution Center's website. I'm George Mason!

Although this is a light-hearted start to the article, there's a serious message that I'd like to try and communicate that will hopefully be of benefit. It won't take long!
The thing about accountants is that they occupy, should they wish to, a unique position in the minds of their clients. We generally know and refer to this unique position as "the most trusted advisor." Simply put, if you are a trusted advisor, you're supposed to be good at what you do, run your own business successfully and be well worth your fee.
On the presumption that all of the above are true about you and your firm, please, for me, can we please stop:
- The needless discounting and lowballing of quotes as if you wouldn't get the engagement if it were priced correctly, and so prefer to create a false and detrimental impression of your worth to your client right from the outset.
- Discounting when a new piece of work is required by a client. If we're asked to do extra work, the client presumably rates us for the work already done.
- Discounting when a client disputes the bill. Did you set realistic expectations at the start? Good, then charge full value. What are they going to do, leave? If you've sprung the bill they are disputing on them, no wonder they're annoyed. In which case, appease the client and feel lucky to have kept them.
- Saying accountants are boring in an ironic self-acknowledgement of the commonly held myth surrounding the profession. You're not boring, and by trying to curry favor by employing self-deprecating humour, you're just perpetuating the myth.
- Hiring marketing support staff who know nothing about professional services and have no track record. It's unlikely that what worked in their last role in wine retail will work for "trusted advisors."
- Taking six weeks to get back to a potential new client after the initial meeting. The excuse "We're so busy" doesn't tell the client that your firm is in demand; it tells them that they are likely to receive a service as unsatisfactory as the one they are getting from you now when they are supposed to be in the "courting" phase with you.
- Saying that you convert 95 percent of opportunities once you get your foot in the door. You're talking about referrals, and most of us convert 95 percent of those. Marketing brings about non-referred opportunities, ones that you have to sweat to get but would have been unlikely to have gotten any other way.
- Claiming low client attrition rates as a barometer of great service. No one changes their accountants unless they need to, and very few know why they need to because they are not educated very well by competing firms as to the compelling reasons for change. Your clients are perpetually at risk from the advances of your competitors, so minimise the liability with actual good service -- as in, what the clients values about you, rather than what you think is good about your firm.
- The political in-fighting with your peer-level colleagues. This is a team game.
And now that I've got that off my chest -- please start understanding, valuing and respecting your own value in the marketplace with clients who could not reach their goals without you. Businesses are in need of your technical expertise and caring approach. You have perhaps a greater ability than any other external professional to influence the realization of your clients' lifetime professional and personal ambitions.
Take that value and message to them instead, because clients love it when you pro-actively support them, and they are prepared to pay a premium for your expertise (without ever asking for discounts).
