While you may think that having your license is all you need to practice massage, you should protect yourself and your business in the case of an unexpected liability, such as a client becoming injured, or damage to property other than your own as a result of something you may or may not have done.
An AMTA Professional Membership and AMTA Graduate Membership include broad liability insurance to protect massage therapists from covered losses.
With an AMTA membership, you're covered for up to $2 million per occurrence/$6 million aggregate for professional liability, general liability, products and personal injury. Learn more about coverage for students.
Join AMTA & Get Covered
We know massage therapists are multi-talented! That's why the insurance that comes with an AMTA membership includes dual liability coverage for massage therapists who are also yoga instructors and/or estheticians.
Coverage for hot stone massage is included in AMTA's insurance - with no extra costs or classes you have to take!
Unlike some companies, we won't charge you to add an additional insured entity to your coverage, such as your landlord or employer. And downloading or emailing your Certificate of Insurance is also free, and both are simple to do with the click of a button directly from your AMTA member profile.
Insurance is one of over 50 benefits of being a member of AMTA. Learn about AMTA member benefits.
Even the best massage therapists make mistakes or are perceived by a client as having caused injury through their professional services. Massage liability insurance through your AMTA membership covers you for amounts that you become legally obligated to pay as a result of a professional liability claim arising out of a covered medical incident.
If you work for someone else, not only do many employers require you to have liability insurance before they allow you to work, it's always good to be prepared for the worst case scenario by obtaining coverage.
Having professional liability insurance coverage as part of your AMTA membership gives you the peace of mind that you will be protected in your day-to-day massage practice.
With coverage through AMTA, your interests are protected if you are named in a lawsuit, and your coverage will travel with you as long as you are practicing within the scope of your license or certification, and in accordance with the modalities not specifically excluded.
"AMTA does the most to support our profession."

How Does "Physician-Induced Demand" Affect Individual Physicians' Cesarean Rates?
By Jill Arnold
As reported yesterday on the U.S. News & World Report Economic Intelligence blog by Sita Slalov, researchers Erin M. Johnson and M. Marit Rehavi examined the effect of physician-induced demand by comparing "physician-mothers" with their non-physician mother counterparts whose first birth occurred in California between 1999 and 2005. In a nutshell, the study looked at whether a patient's medical knowledge affects treatment and outcomes. After controlling for demographics, risk factors and hospital type, they found that physician moms were 9% less likely to have unscheduled cesareans and had reduced morbidity. This is attributed to physician-moms' medical knowledge making them inherently informed patients, which in turn makes them less impacted by the financial incentives of their treating physician. It remains consistent with the hypothesis that physicians are able to avoid over-treatment and unnecessary medical procedures in their own care.
Slalov highlighted that some hospitals, such as those which are HMO-owned, do not incentivize unnecessary cesareans because doctors are salaried. Slalov wrote:
Johnson and Rehavi found that non-physician mothers who gave birth in non-HMO-owned hospitals were indeed more likely to have C-sections than non-physician mothers with similar characteristics who gave birth in HMO-owned hospitals. That supports the claim that doctors' financial incentives play at least some role in their treatment of uninformed patients. But there's even stronger evidence for the physician-induced demand hypothesis: it turns out that physician-mothers were about equally likely to have C-sections regardless of whether they gave birth at an HMO-owned hospital. In other words, financial incentives don't seem to affect the choice of treatment for informed patients.
Johnson and Rehavi's paper, Physicians Treating Physicians: Information and Incentives in Childbirth, is a working paper and has not yet been peer-reviewed.
In their paper, the authors define the physician-induced demand hypothesis, which puts forward that because patients do not have the necessary medical knowledge to make treatment decisions, and because doctors profit from recommended treatments, doctors will therefore shift patient demand and "move treatment quantity in the direction of their own preferences."
Two paragraphs of the paper are dedicated to the relationship between physician income/reimbursement and c-section rates.
Numerous authors have documented a positive cross-sectional correlation between physician supply and rates of surgery (Fuchs (1978), Cromwell and Mitchell (1986), Rossiter and Wilensky (1983)). Following Dranove and Wehner's (1994) critique, this empirical approach was superseded by studies exploiting exogenous shocks to physician incomes.5 Gruber and Owings (1996) provides credible evidence of PID by exploiting the shock to obstetrician incomes resulting from the secular decline in fertility rates in the 1970s. They found that a 5% fall in incomes leads physicians to increase the C-section rate by 1 percentage point.
A related test for inducement exploits changes in physician fees. In response to a fee reduction, physicians have been found to make up lost revenue by increasing volume (Nguyen and Derrick (1997), Yip (1998), Jacobson et al. (2010)).6 There are also studies which found little evidence of income effects, with physicians altering quantities in the direction of the fee change. For example, Gruber et al. (1999) finds an increase in the C-section rate in the Medicare population after C-sections became more highly reimbursed relative to vaginal deliveries. Specifically, they found a 0.7 ppt increase for a $100 increase in the fee differential. In both of these approaches identification comes from shocks to providers; as a result they cannot estimate the overall level of PID.
Although provided as background for their research, the previous literature cited makes it appear that the effect on volume (i.e., the 0.7 or 1 percentage point increase in cesarean rate) would be minimal.

Expectant parents generally schedule an ultrasound from 16weeks and up to determine the baby's gender, and to get a opportunity to see images of their child they have yet to see. This is a special time for many parents as they get to see their child move around before the mother has the opportunity to feel the baby move in the belly. This experience is so amazing that many parents return at 28 to 35weeks when some the finest details of the baby's face can be seen during a 3D ultrasound screening.
The 3D Ultrasound session generally lasts between 20-30 minutes. We encourage and love to see family members attend the session so that they too can experience the joy of this special time. We use cutting edge ultrasound technology to bring images of your unborn baby to life in a warm and family friendly atmosphere!
3D ULTRASOUND PACKAGES (see our specials page and save!)
Our packages are $150.00
and includes a 30 minute session, (3) 4x6 color photos, a DVD and Flash Drive with all of your babies photos (approximately 20 to 30 photos and as many video clips as we can capture) so that you can send your photos to family, friends and post to any social media site. We welcome you to bring as many family and friends as you can fit into the room. We have a very cozy atmosphere here at Ultrasound Imaging and we welcome you to call us for more information or to schedule an appointment.

• After 10 years of working together, deejay Elephant Man and longtime manager Q45 have parted ways on good terms.
Since last week, rumours have been circulating on the Internet that a split might have occurred since Elephant Man is no longer a regular at the Q45 headquarters. Producer/manager Q45 has been influential to Elephant Man's career since his departure from the Scare Dem Crew in 1999.
When THE STAR spoke with Q45 yesterday, he said there is no bad blood between himself and the colourful deejay.
Not going into the reasons behind the split, Q45 said, "maybe it's just time for a change, but we're still good." Elephant Man could not be reached for a comment.
According to Q45, he would still be willing to do work with the deejay in the future and would still want Elephant Man to record for him, as well. As for managing other artistes and young talent, Q45 said he's always up to doing music as long as the person has good talent.
Outside of managing Elephant Man, Q45 is also the promoter of the recently started Hennessy Fridays held at 36 Burlington Avenue.
He commented, "the dance has been doing good, it's started to pick up. We just need the people to start coming earlier, 'cause we not going over the curfew time, so it's from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m."

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
Lately, a lot of people have been asking me about at-home hair color. Truth is, I never really know what to tell them.
Though I spent a lot of my college career coloring hair, both my own hair and my friend's, I haven't touched a box in years. I'd include pictures of some of the colors I did in college but, contrary to popular belief, I do have some self respect. Trust that bleach, Pravana color, and a frat house bathroom sink don't give you the best results. Doing it blind drunk isn't always the best method either, turns out.
For the past few years, I've gotten my hair colored professionally over doing it myself. This is partly because I found a stylist I can trust, partly because I got money now, and mostly because my hair is always some dumb pastel shade and you're not going to find that in the drugstores (Manic Panic never really worked wonders for me, but seeing all of the awesome colors you all [MARCI] have been doing with it lately has me all in my feelings.)
The latest person to come to me seeking box color wisdom is the nation's leading Oreo Journalist and my one friend who has her shit together, xoJane's very own Claire Lower.
A few months back, she (and you guys, actually) revolutionized my morning routine by hitting me with a bunch of smoothie recipes to slam before Pilates to keep me powered up through class, and changed my life forever. I figured it was my turn to come through.
She had previously told me she was looking for a good stylist in Portland, where she recently moved. Picking a stylist is more important than picking a boyfriend and relationship is always more fulfilling, so I tried to help her out as best I could. We went back and forth about it a bit until she found someone he was confident with.
After she pulled the trigger and got a cut and color, the results weren't quite what she had hoped. She was aiming to go from her dyed red back to her natural brown. The stylist told her that her natural color was too "blah," which is a dick move (industry term) so she made her a red-brown situation.
While that color is cute as hell, it's not what she wanted.
Claire liked the color well enough, but was disappointed when it washed out in under two weeks. As we all know, getting anything done in a salon is an investment, coloring especially, so she was understandably upset when she saw all of her money go, ~literally~, down the drain.
"Are there really no good DIY options?" she asked in a text.
There are maybe one or two boxes in the drugstore that I tell people to pick up if they're really in a pinch, but for what Claire was looking for, I suggested eSalon.
eSalon is an online company that aims to give you personalized hair color that fits your natural coloring, your lifestyle, the current color and state of your hair, and your budget.
You start by taking a survey (I love surveys) asking about your natural hair color and shade, your percentage of grays, what kinds of dyes or treatments are currently in your hair, how often you color your hair, your ethnicity, and whether you're looking for permanent or demi-permanent color.
From there, you get to pick your desired shade to be formulated for you by a real, actual person. You can even submit a picture of your pretty face for the colorist to reference when mixing the color.
Your custom color arrives with everything you need to successfully color your hair from the comfort of your own frat house bathroom, or wherever.
It comes with color, developer, and what they call their Perfect Match Kit.
The kit includes shampoo and conditioner, two pairs of latex gloves, a stain guard, so you don't have color marks on your forehead or behind your ears, stain remover, for when your drunk ass gets the color all over, a color brush, and personalized instructions.
In short, eSalon hooks it up.
All of this for $20.
Drugstore box colors run you, what? Anywhere from six to twelve dollars? I know I'm an elitist snob but if you're coloring your hair with a $6 box of color, then I'm praying for you AND your hair. No good can come of that. Throw a couple more dollars at the problem and get yourself a custom shade made by a real person just for you.
After Claire and I texted back and forth for a while, I fired off an email from the front seat of my car and less then a week later, Claire had her very own custom color.
So here are the befores, where Claire's brown-red had faded to a copper:
AFTER (this is after two weeks, when the brown had lightened up a bit, as browns do):
What she ended up with is even color with life and dimension. I think it looks gorgeous.
But, how did she like it?
The ordering process was as effortless as I'd hoped, and lucky for Claire, they save your formulas! "The ordering process was super easy, and I like that your order gets saved for future reference, because there is no way I'm going to remember what I did the first time."
At first, she wasn't sure about the color, but I convinced her to hang tight.
"The color came out very dark at first, but that's pretty typical with browns, and it has now settled into a natural looking brunette that I am very happy with. It's still slightly darker than I was expecting, but only slightly."
After two weeks, the brown has lifted just a bit, just like I said it would ~*~*~*~*~* and she's very happy with the color, which makes me very happy. And is a RELIEF.
Also, Claire and I had to have some real talk about washing (and not washing) your hair. Guys, reminder, don't wash your hair every day, alright? Color treated or not. And when you are color treated, make sure you're washing and rinsing with cool water, that's one of the many things you can do to prevent color fade.
As for how the color left her hair feeling, she says "I didn't notice any significant dryness or any real change in texture after dying; it feels pretty much the same as it did before, if not a little better. (Though I am washing it less so that probably has something to do with it.)"
As for how the color is wearing, she told me "The eSalon color has barely faded at all (after two weeks!), whereas the salon color faded almost completely in the same amount of time."
My final question was: Do you plan on reordering from eSalon, recommending it to a friend, and singing my praises?
"1) The whole thing is conducted online, so I don't have to talk to anyone face-to-face, which is always nice, because once I am face-to-face with beautician types, I can pretty much be talked into doing and paying for anything, so I prefer being shielded by my monitor.
2) The cut/color I got before using eSalon (the one that faded in two weeks) cost me 170 fucking dollars and eSalon only set me back $20.
3) As I mentioned earlier, I like that eSalon remembers what I ordered last time so I don't have to.
4) I also really enjoyed the personalized instructions, because I love seeing my name on shit."
Claire's happy, so I'm happy.
How do you guys feel about at-home color? Have you tried eSalon? Tell me everything down below!

Fire, fire!As we get closer and closer to Christmas and the nights get longer and longer, I was very excited to participate in two very unique holiday celebrations this week.
On Tuesday Carl invited me to the Santa Lucia celebration at the Swedish Embassy. Guests chatted over glasses of glogg and ginger snaps (courtesy of IKEA) while they waited for "the main event!" Neither Jennie nor Carl would tell me exactly what "the main event" was, so I was very curious! Santa Lucia Day is a traditional Scandinavian holiday that celebrates light and one of the longest days of the year. Carl explained that most schools, businesses, apartment buildings and towns in Sweden have Lucia celebrations. It is, of course, a big honor to be Lucia.
Back at the embassy, the building went dark as flickering candlelight and singing began filtering down the glass staircase. The first girl to descend from the third floor was Lucia. She wore a white dress with red ribbon around her waist and five lighted candles on her head. The other girls in the choir also wore white, carried candles and wore wreaths on their heads. The boys (Star boys) wore white robes and cone hats (think dunce cap, or the KKK as Carl brought up.) They sang a collection of traditional Lucia songs. Though I didn't understand the words, I could imagine the enchanting lyrics inviting people out of the darkness of winter and into the light. At the end of the performance, the kids quietly walked outside as the wind extinguished their candles. Very impressive!
The first photo I "borrowed" from another website. The second one is from the evening.
The other fun event in my social calendar this week was Christina and Niels' Christmas party, complete with Feuerzangenbowle. I'm not sure how to translate this word other than "fire punch." Basically you warm red wine, oranges and maybe some spices, then rest a sugar cone on a thin metal rack over the wine, douse the sugar with rum and set it on fire. The blue flame didn't show up on the photo below, but as you can see from Christina and Niels' expression, they were thrilled the alcohol was burning and no one lost their eyebrows!

When I first started out with makeup, my policy was, the sheerer the better. It's the safe way to go. For eyes, NEUTRALS! For lips, something that match my lip colour, please. For cheeks, sheer pink and sheer corals so that I won't look like a baboon's buttocks, thank you very much. I still love my neutrals, but I now love bright pigmented blush. Deep dark burgundy blushes, deep red wine blushes, bright fuchsia blushes that scare people away. Those, I love.
I've written about these blushes before, except the Chanel one, but these are my loves. If I want a pop of bright colour, if I want something so bold that I need to blend like crazy, these are the ones. I will pop the links of the reviews below too 🙂
I will review Ultra Rose shortly, don't you worry about it. The colours of these blushes in real life are so much more vivid, these pictures do them no justice. I marked the Inglot blushes xxx, because once the blushes were popped into the pan, I couldn't get them out. Being the genius I am, I didn't write down the numbers before the SA decided to helpfully pop them in for me >.< And yes, I'm overusing the word pop because I just feel like poppin' it 😛 Links of reviews are here:
MAC Cremeblend Blush in Florida
Can you tell I'm a Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge fan? These 2 are my favourites, Raspberry and Calypso Coral. Raspberry gives me that deep red glow while Calypso Coral gives me a brighter flushed look. Inglot xxx, oops… yupz… linkies for the reviews
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge Raspberry
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge Calypso Coral
and to see how the Inglot blushes look worn on my face
I feel like I talk about these pot rouges all the time. I swear Bobbi Brown doesn't pay me. We don't even contact each other!
Here are the swatches for you for easy reference, all on one arm 🙂
As you can see, Chanel Ultra Rose looks like it's the sheerest, but it's not really. I still have to be very gentle when I apply it on my cheeks. I find that these colours, while they look intimidating swatched like this, they look absolutely amazing on the apples of your cheeks. They make you brighter, happier, and more cheerful.
Do you like blushes like these or do you prefer sheerer ones where you could do no wrong?
xoxo Lily

Welcome to the Stories of Good series. These are stories submitted by readers and writers about finding the good in a myriad of ways, within the context of travel and place.
This story is by Israeli writer, Anna Levine. It's the story of finding the good in one's own resilience, the gift of others and groups, and the landscape of the Israeli Trail. A short but sweet and deeply moving piece about finding the good, and taking it home with you.
Last year I signed on to join a group of hikers walking the Israel Trail. The route stretches from the Red Sea, the southern-most tip of the country, to the farthest point in the mountainous north. Our journey would be divided over the course of two years. We would meet on weekends, sometimes sleeping out in the open, other times in rustic guest houses along the way.
My cover for traveling alone was that I am a writer. My novel is set in the desert and Daniel, our guide, has chosen our route to begin with Mount Solomon, one of the most challenging parts of the trail. Once on the bus, I find an empty seat and spread myself across both chairs. Slowly the bus fills up with a few couples, some single girls, single guys, a brother and sister duo, a family with two kids in their twenties, a triathlete and three retired men.
Arriving in Eilat, it is already plenty hot by 11:00AM. I learn that in order to reach Mount Solomon we must first climb the mountain in our way. Daniel strides ahead, forgetting that some of us have not had boot camp training.
Mount Zefahot, named after its metamorphic rock, is only 278 meters above sea level, but standing on its peak reveals a panoramic view of the entire Red Sea area. Four countries can be seen from this point: Israel, of course, but also Jordan, Egypt, and the tip of Saudi Arabia. The sea, they say, glistens blue all year round.
I like to walk close to the front of the line, believing that if I can see where I'm going it will be easier to reach my destination. My strides, at first, are long and confident.
Where Mount Zefahot reaches the foot of Mount Solomon, we stop to admire the plaque which says that we are standing on the oldest type of rock known to man, solid and resistant to time and whatever nature decides to throw at it. The geology and landscape in Eilat's area are varied: igneous and metamorphic rocks, sandstone and limestone; mountains, expansive valleys such as the Arava, and the tantalizing seashore on the Gulf of Aqaba.
I look out over the Eilat Mountains, see part of the Sinai desert, Eilat's bay, the city of Aqaba and the Edom mountain range. The view is simply breathtaking.
Daniel says that the desert holds the cure for the broken heart. With my feet on the stony ground, I stand, waiting, hoping that if I stay here long enough, I will divine the secret.
Everyone I know seems to be suffering from a plethora of ailments on the registry of chronic diseases. For years now, I have been holding hands, massaging backs, encouraging spirits... giving love. It feels selfish to acknowledge that caring for the people I love – watching them struggle to take a step, to pull words from their minds and knead them into thoughts, to find the courage to pretend that things are just a bit better today than they were the day before – has taken a toll on me.
The ascent up Mount Solomon is steep and we proceed in single file. The sun beats down. We stop to drink, and when we resume, I slip back to join the walkers in the middle of the pack. Even if someone were to begin a conversation with me, I feel a need to conserve my strength and focus.
The group's progress slows, but even the retirees skirt past me. My skin prickles and I feel my heart racing as I slip to the end of the line. I have been warned that a low iron count depletes my energy quickly. Perhaps that explains the feeling I have been carrying with me.
Emptiness can be so heavy.
Parched, my pace up the desolate mountainside drags to a slow slog in the rocky terrain, not a single tree to offer shade. Life in this desert is unforgiving.
Losing sight of the last walker in front of me, I imagine the group has conquered the mountain and reached the bus. When Daniel does the body count, only then he'll realize there is one missing.
"Where's that girl? You know, the writer, the loner?"
Having no choice, I press on. Finally, I make it up to the top and sink down beside the other exhausted climbers. I have just enough energy to raise my eyes and glimpse the cool waters of Eilat far below
That night we are to sleep on a kibbutz where an old friend of mine lives. I'd sent him an email out of the blue saying that I might be passing through. The bus pulls in, and there he is waiting to greet me with a handful of dates, freshly picked from their orchards. A hug, and he hands me a thermos of coffee. I'd forgotten what it is like to have someone anticipate my needs. I can barely control the tears.
My roommate for the night is a woman from Tel Aviv. She is a divorced professor of linguistics. I teach English as a second language. We talk about prepositions. I tell her that my Israeli students find prepositions the hardest to figure out because the words in themselves have no meaning. They are dull.
"Prepositions," she says, while arranging her clothes for the next day, "are about relationships. And relationships are never dull." With a striking realization, I think of how you can run with someone, run to, run from and – run away.
Totally sapped that night, I am not sure whether I fall asleep or pass out. I awaken the following morning rested and refreshed. Some of the sadness has drained. I gather the supplies I need, preparing to leave the desolation behind. Today's trek is less steep and I am able to keep near the front of the line. I step up and look around. I am taken aback at the beauty of this piece of the world.
On the way home, Daniel starts discussing the next trip. "You're coming back, aren't you?" he asks, and I hear the silence as the others wait for me to answer. I realize that in true Israeli fashion once you are in a group, you become part of the group. I am not like them but having shared an experience with them, I have become one of them. For a moment the weight of my loneliness lifts. I realize that it takes looking up to see what is around one, and I should not be afraid to head towards.
My life back home will have mountains that need to be scaled down, and there will be times when I feel I can't go on, but in those moments, I must remember that sometimes all it takes is a prepositional shift to change one's perspective, to turn what is down, and raise it up.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Biochemistry. My undergraduate research focused on wearable biosensors used for wound healing in diabetic patients. This approach to product design and development gave me the desire to further pursue a field in which the impact of medical technology would not be limited in its scope, and this is what the Global Medical Innovation program at Rice seeks to accomplish. Hopefully my experience can help make a lasting impact at Rice and abroad.

After finishing my phone call with my parents, I leaned back on the sofa, a huff of air escaping as my back made contact with the cushions. The feel of my wife's small, delicate fingers combing through my hair made my tense muscles relax at her touch and eyes close softly. a smile etched on to my lips.
"So now I have a chance to meet the famous Ellie Foster?" I heard her murmur. Too tired to respond, I just hummed in response, my smile growing a fraction bigger.
"Go to sleep, we'll talk more in the morning." These were the last words I heard before I was lulled into slumber.
It was early 7 o'clock in the morning when a giggling bundle jumped onto my stomach. With a 'oof' and the loss of breath i swooped up my giggling son and tossed him in the air. Grabbing him back in my arms, I grabbed his ankles and held him off the ground. His giggles lighting up my face and the room around us. My little son Jay had a beaming smile on his face and couldn't stop laughing from being suspended in the air. His shocking green eyes latched onto mine and his blond locks fell into the air. It made him look like a mini-me.
"DADDY! Put me down!" he squealed between laughs, "Mommy wanted me to get you for breakfast, you slept on the couch last night!"
Turning him the right way round, I placed him on the floor and watched as he ran away giggling. I saw him stop at the entrance to the kitchen and looks around.
"Alfy's outside remember hun, he doesn't sleep in the house now. He's to big to not knock anything over." Sam says coming over and giving him a hug. A small smile returns to my face as I look to the two people who make my whole world complete.
She sets him down and sets a small bowl of scrambled eggs in front of him, doing the same for me as I sit next to him. Looking down at my son as I started to eat, I noticed he had barely touched his food.
I stood slowly, watching his head shoot up and his hopeful eyes lock onto mine. "I'll go and bring Alfy in for you bud, eat your breakfast though."
Giving Sam a kiss, I grabbed the leash by the back kitchen door and left the house. My bare feet shivered at the touch of the cold decking in the garden. The sudden bark of the dog made me drop everything and forget about having frozen feet. The leash slipped through my hands and fell with a clatter against the wood.
Seeing the straining chain holding to dog to the kennel, I grabbed his collar and shoved him towards the house. He didn't budge, the over sized German Shepard puppy just kept growling at the other side of his kennel.
Giving him a hard shove, he started to back off and back to the house. Hearing the bang of the garden gate, I looked to see the latch was ripped after the storm a few nights ago. Looking around, I tried to see if anything was out of the ordinary. All I saw was a bloodied foot.
Gingerly pulling against it, a incredibly thin body was revealed. The arms and legs were scarred deep and bleeding profusely. Trying to get a firm grip on the arms, I turned her over, instantly recognizing the brunette hair and soft face. Although mangled, bruised and scarred, I would never be able to forget her.
"Call an ambulance!" I screamed behind me. Taking her face gently into face I started to whisper softly to her, "It'll be okay Ellie, I'll get you fixed up, I'll get you help."
Placing two fingers to her throat, I found no pulse. I started to notice the blood pooling around her head and legs. Placing my hands on her chest, I tried to remember all of the health training I had for the force. whatever I was doing though wasn't working.
By the time the paramedics came, my hands were slipping off her chest as they were slick with blood, my arms ached and the fog of tears was making it hard to see in front of me.
Soft hands pulled me away from her limp body, and I vaguely saw the stretcher being placed under her and she was taken away from me again.
"Sir, we need you to come with us." I looked towards him, and towards Sam. Words were becoming muddled in my head and I could't understand what to do.
"Go, I'll call your parents and we''l meet you there," she offered me a small smile before I raced into the ambulance and grabbed my sisters cold hand. Praying that I would have the chance to know my sister again.
What if Bella was forced to run in Twilight? If she...
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly....
If there is someone near, will they hear you? If you...
As the girl looked around in her bag, she heard heavy...
She was alone. Stranded on this island. She didn't...

Yesterday in the Divine Service, in the Prayer of the Church, the saints at Good Shepherd petitioned the Lord of the Harvest to bless and be with all the men who will be receiving vicarage assignments and Divine Calls into the Holy Ministry over the next couple days at the Fort Wayne and St. Louis seminaries. Every year many men desire this "noble task" – including this one a few years ago. This year, one man from the congregation will (God willing) be receiving his Divine Call into the ministry.
I was afforded a few minutes of reflection on the Office as I tried to write a prayer that got at its essence. It brought to mind something a brother pastor, and dear friend, preached at an installation about a year ago. Admittedly it's very hazy in my mind – I've probably managed more to mangle his point than faithfully recall it – yet I believe the heart of his point has been maintained. And I believe it gets at the heart of what all those receiving Divine Calls this week – and all those men serving in the Office of the Holy Ministry – are about.
Without a shepherd, the sheep go hungry.
Recall our Lord's instruction to the disciples – especially Peter – soon after the Resurrection:
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17, ESV)
Jesus' instruction to Peter, and to all of those whom the Lord calls to tend His flock, is simple. The Lord's sheep cannot feed themselves, so the Lord ensures they will be provided shepherds to feed them. They will feed them with "the bread that came down from heaven", namely Jesus Christ – the Word of God incarnate. Christ's shepherds will feed His flock with His own word.
Consider other scriptural exhortation to those Called into the Holy Ministry:
Command and teach these things. Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers. (1 Timothy 4:11-16, ESV)
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. (2 Timothy 4:1-5, ESV)
Both of these passages of instruction from the Apostle are centered clearly on one task – the preaching of the Word. Why? So that the hearers (and Pastor Timothy himself!) would be fed; in fact, would be saved.
It's also good to hear our Lord's instruction in Luke 24:
Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem." (Luke 24:44-47, ESV)
Without a shepherd, the sheep go hungry. But thanks be to God, the Good Shepherd sends men to shepherd His flock, wherever they may be. I look forward to hearing where these new under-shepherds of Christ will be sent, and I pray they will heed His instruction. The message that we have to preach is a wonderful message, full of the sustenance that leads to eternal life.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. (John 6:51, ESV)

Glad to be back anyone ???????
It was good to see everyone down at Gorton Street for the start of the 2014/15 season in perfect autumn conditions. Whilst numbers were good and no losses on the end of last season we do have a very uneven split between U7s (4 plus 1 away) and U8s (12 plus 1 away). We may need a recruitment drive so spread the word!
For the time being we will keep U7s and U8s together in training until numbers allow separation of the sessions.
Anyways … a big Eccles welcome to 2 new faces, Ben and Guy. I hope you enjoyed your first session and will be back for more.
The session was a gentle introduction. For once there was very little messing about and all seemed enthusiastic (certainly in what I saw before training actually started). We performed a few simple passing drills and the odd set of shuttle runs (nothing too taxing for these seasoned veterans)
STAR OF THE WEEK. Everyone did well, enthusiasm throughout (and a few cobwebs) with both Ben and Guy doing well for their first session. I would also like to mention the good work on the passing drills with the mini team of Reece, Mitchel and Lucus showing the rest how to perform them properly. This week, however, I have awarded STAR OF THE WEEK for the concentration and discipline shown by Michael. Model player all session! … well done and keep it up.
I hope everyone took advantage of the army of people in the club on Sunday for registration, kit and sponsorship etc and I would like to thank those that have already "signed on"! For those who have not yet registered, the forms are now available on the club website. These forms (Eccles specific) now contain fields for the information to be typed in (and saved) before printing. They can be accessed from the Downloads/Documents page on the website or using the following links:
Eccles RFC Junior/Mini Membership Form
Eccles RFC Junior/Mini Photo Consent Form
RFU Registration (only needs to be filled out once so not needed if you did it last year)
If you are looking to take photos at training sessions or games for personal use then you will need to apply for Photographer privileges
Eccles RFC Photographer Registration Form
I hope to see everyone back down next week for training (bringing friends along) and long may the good weather continue.

The Kingdom of Eirangard (/'aɪrængɑːrd) is one of three superpower interstellar monarchies that lie to the galactic north of the Intersytem Alliance. Dominating the galactic west, the nation borders the Akrian Hegemony, the Intersystem Alliance, and Isharan Eisharat. Ruled by the hereditary monarchy of House Brandt, the kingdom is a conglomerate of former monarchies, republics, and dictatorships – the majority of which were consolidated either peacefully or by military action during the 29th century under the reign of King Edvard the Conqueror. Comprised of 193 worlds, the Kingdom enjoys a high standard of living among a majority of its citizens, exporting high-quality starships for both civilian and military use including some of the fastest merchant ships in the galaxy.
Table of Contents
The Kingdom of Eirangard was settled in 2405 by majority colonist from Russia, the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Icelenad. Drawing from both Welsh and Scandinavian cultures as well as their new worlds environment, the settlers named their world Eirangard. From the Welsh name "Eira" meaning "snow" and the Norse word "-gard" for "enclosure", the literal translation is "snow enclosure." The combination of the two was the genesis of the principle language of Eirangard – Norish – a marriage of the Norse and Welsh languages favoring the Welsh structure with old Norse words incorporate into the language.
Founded by one of the furthest reaching generation one colony ships launched under the Human Continuity Project, Eirangard is a mix of old and new with vastly different cultures married together by fierce loyalty to the crown or through strict enforcement of the King's law on worlds conquered by the Brandt family during the turn of the turn of the millennium. Regions like the Eiranvale – comprised mostly of worlds directly colonized by Eirangardians – are fiercely loyal to the King and some of the most militarized of the regions. To the south regions like Asturias are melting pot worlds colonized as republics before they were conquered by Eirangard. These mix of cultures results in a vast spread of feelings towards the Brandt monarchy and Eirangard itself.
The Eiranvale is the oldest region and the cultural heart of Eirangard. Home to Eirangard itself, the Eiranvale is the seat of power of the kingdom and home to some of the most heavily populated worlds. Lords of the Eiranvale enjoy privileged seats on the Lord's Council and in the Royal Court. In addition to their population, worlds of the Eiranvale boast some of the oldest colonies in the kingdom. During the early days of the Eirangardian colony, the worlds in the region were settled to help support the capital and grew into powerhouses in their own right. Ancient families evolved into powerful houses under the new monarchy, including House Wainwright and House Reyder whose close ties to the monarchy can be found in the early explorers who left Eiras.
The cultures of the Eiranvale are dominated by the harsh environment of the capital world, breeding tough and resilient people with strong ties to one another and a distrust of outsiders. Citizens in the Eiranvale – from lords to commoners – enjoy a high standard of living made possible by the shipbuilding and arms industry based on the worlds of the Eiranvale. Architecture in the region is steeped in ancient Norse traditions juxtaposed against modern technologies. Massive, boxy structures fill the center of powerful fortress walls a style reminiscent of ancient earth Viking ring fortresses while industrial regions mix this same style with the modern industrial needs.
The capital city of the kingdom itself, Eiranheim, is a massive metropolis formed of dozens of ring fortresses wards lining and spilling into a deep canyon running up into the Asgar Mountains. At the fork of the massive canyon sits the central fortress – Caer Eirantrone. Translated into standard English, the "Castle of the Winter Throne" is the ancestral home of the Brandt Family and one of the largest and most powerful shielded fortresses in the galaxy. Having withstood sieges throughout the centuries, the central shield spire – flanked by older spires that now feed their descendant – stands like a castle keep against the backdrop of the snow-capped Asgar peaks.
The Riddamar region was a lawless, nameless region heavily dominated by piracy groups, unscrupulous corporate activities, and illegal free region mining. Conquered by Queen Iryia in 2605, the Riddamar was the first region added to the Kingdom of Eirangard and the first real test of its military since the founding of the Kingdom a century and a half before. Many of the military traditions of Eirangard are still rooted in the heroics of the Riddammar campaigns, and the Knights of the Riddamar are one of the highest knightly orders in the Kingdom.Additionally, it was in the Riddammar – building off of captured research – where gravity units were developed, allowing Eirangardians to harness artificial gravity and vastly improve their MAG-drive technology and fueling Eirangard's further expansion.
The Riddamar region is ruled by House Vass, a noble house established by Queen Iryia for Fleetmaster Edvin Vass, the architect of the Riddamar campaign. The region is a centrepiece for the Eirangardian military, and House Vass commands a sizable portion of the banners loyal to the Eirangardian monarchy. In the years since the conquest, House Vass has been tied to house Brandt by blood; and other than House Wainwright, the Vass family is one of the closest to the Brandt monarchy. Furthermore, Riddamar is home to some of the oldest Gravomancy guilds in the known galaxy. Groups like the Thor's Hammers, The Rhythrin, and the feared Riddarheim are some of the founding members of gravomancy. In fact, the Riddarheim were the first to forge gravity weapons like the Brandt family sword – Allvaldar, meaning "Sovereign Ruler". These powerful weapons are tied closely to the schools of untethered gravomancy that define the Riddamar guilds, and Riddamari soldiers have dominated the battlefields with their powerful armor and weapons.
The Pillars of Dehradun are named for the twin, titanic stellar nebula which frames the Dehradun passage into the Farlands, or the galactic west. Discovered by a vanguard of the Eirangardian host under Edvard the Great, the Dehradun Pillars were a largely uninhabited region that grew into a series of generation two colonies established by the growing Kingdom. At the heart of the region is the termini system with the garden world Dehradun. Home to titanic, ancient structures thought to be remnants of pre-industrial civilization, the Dehradun Monoliths have become home to the Eirangardians that call the world home. The largest of the structures – the Titan of Dehradun – sits at the heart of a cluster and is the seat of House Naramor (Meaning "more north").
Founded by King Edvard's senior most military commander, House Naramor has grown into one of the most prominent houses in the kingdom. Serving as the doorway into the western regions of the galaxy, the Dehradun system is often filled with merchant traffic on any given day. Other worlds in the region like Cadmir and Runeheil are frontier worlds. Sparse populations are punctuated by small cities that serve as base camps for further exploration into the wilds of these ancient planets.
Governed by House Roldan, the Umbrian Reach was one of the first regions conquered by King Edvard during the expansionary period of Eirangard. Originally a brutal dictatorship, the people of Umbria welcomed the Eirangardians as conquering heroes. House Roldan was established when Edvard created the title for Hebertio Roldan, the leader of the resistance movement on the capital world Orvieto. The other worlds of the Umbrian region were founded out of the key leaders in the resistance that had helped the Eirangardian armies in overthrowing the Imperial Guard of the Umbrian dictatorship. Following the establishment of the noble houses, Umbria also saw the founding of a civilian government and a constitution that identified the King of Eirangard as the head of state. In Umbria judicial and military power resides in the noble houses while legislative power resides in the representative government. Executive power resides with the King of Eirangard or his appointed chancellor.
Culturally, Orvieto was settled by Italian, French, Arabic, and African settlers in a colonization effort funded in majority by the French and Italian governments as part of the Human Continuity Project. As such. Umbria boasts a culture with a unique meld of French and Italian with elements of Arabic and African cultures included. The melting pot world has become more cosmopolitan in the centuries since the discovery the of the gravity termini and has a robust agricultural and artisan community that earned the title of the "cultural heart of Eirangard." In addition to its cultural aspects, Umbria also boasts some of the best colleges in the kingdom. Queen's Cathedral College on Avignon is a liberal arts school that celebrate traditional Eirangardian literature, poetry, and art. The Royal Engineering Academy (REA) on San Miguel boasts prestigious biological engineering, terraforming, and mechanical engineering programs in the galaxy. These combined with breathtaking extreme environments- from San Miguel's Diadem volcano chain to Umbria's Aquila Mountain chain – give Umbria a diversity that other regions in Eirangard sometimes lack.
The Adenfal is the industrial heart of the Kingdom of Eirangard and one of the newest regions. Following an economic collapse in 2948, the former Adenfal Republic was in the grips of a "Famine Wars". Waring factions fought for control of dwindling food supplies following outbreaks of crop-destroying diseases on numerous garden worlds. At the bequest of their own government and in a less than altruistic gesture (given Eirangard's reliance on Adenfal for raw material), Eirangard sent food aid and military support to help prevent the region from devolving into open war. The food stores came at the right time. Defusing the tense situation, the Eirangardian military helped re-stabilize Adenfal. With the collapse of their formal government soon after, the provisional government of the region signed a treaty with Eirangard to become a former member of Kingdom's commonwealth. Within ten years – and with heavy influence from Eirangardian benefactors – the Adenfal region stood up an aristocracy under Eirangardian hereditary law. The region of Adenfal was formally incorporated under High Lord John Howe, first Lord of Adenfal.
By the 3400s, Adenfal was a prosperous industrial powerhouse. With huge industrial reserves centered around the system's heavy metal rich star systems, its industrial efforts are the centerpiece of Eirangard's Eirmeithrin Plate industry. Massive forge worlds like Cambria and Jottenheim craft starships for both the military, industrial, and private sectors. Huge cargo ships carry raw materials, products, and even ferry completed starships across the region while massive passenger ships move the labor forces between areas of work. Meanwhile, the few garden worlds serve as home to towering farm complexes and massive agricultural undertakings used to feed the billions of people call home.
The last conquest of the Eirangardian monarchy before the Pax Vega, Asturias proved to be one of the hardest conquests of Edvard's first campaign. By 2805, the Eirangardian host had grown smaller, numerous troop garrisons left on conquered worlds to maintain the peace and establish order on the worlds. At the age of forty-eight, Edvard saw Asturias as stepping stone for further conquests into the Akrian Hegemony. Landing on Asturia proper in April of 2805, the Eirangardian host was greeted by the brutal summer of the tropical world. With genetics tailored for their colder worlds, the Eirangardian host's advance was slowed as they established a foothold on the planet for a push into the Canopy shielded regions of the planet. With numerous skirmishes with Asturian locals, Eirangard's initial engagements were lopsided defeats despite not sustaining any crippling defeats. The Austurians' gorilla tactics were foreign to the Eirangardians, who had faced their opponents in large scale urban or open conflicts for which their force had become proficient. By April of 2806, having only taken one Canopy shield on the planet and faced with another two, Edvard was considering pulling the Eirangardians out of the region and abandoning the invasions. However, in a foolish move, Astuiran General Archer Natagumi – embolden by his gorilla tactics success- chose to face the Eirangardian Host in the Kimari fields. Seeing the opportunity, Edvard rallied his troops and over the course of three days butchered the Asturian army.
With the Asturian military devastated, Edvard's host moved through Asutiras proper with ease. Conquest of the regions other fifteen worlds was relatively easy, with a large number of the governments surrendering without a shot fired. However, the Eirangardian host would find subduing the Asturian people would be much difficult. Employing the same tactics employed by their army in the early days of the Astuiran siege, Eirangardian forces found great resistance in maintaining order among the Asturian population. Multiple cities managed to regain control of shield canopies, forcing Edvard and his army to retake the city. For years the Eirangardians fought to subdue the resistance. It wasn't until 2815, a decade after his original invasion, that Eirangard had established solid control of the region. In hopes of cementing the peace, Edvard formed House Durante from Kolan Durante, one of the leaders of the Asutiran resistance who had bent a knee to Edvard earlier that year.
By modern times, Asturias maintains a distinctly unique culture in the Kingdom that is still somewhat tied to its Akrian roots. Stubborn to a fault, the Lords of Asturias often argue with the Lords of the Eiranvale on the Lords' Council or at Court. Favoring their traditions, they also prefer less control by their great Lordly houses, the majority of military power and armament established and maintained by lesser lords and knights. However, the Asturian Knights are some of the most feared warriors in the Kingdom and often used as shock troops by Eirangardians during conflicts. As for Asturia itself, the tropical climate of the Asutria proper stands in stark contrast to the harsh climate of Eirangard. The citizens enjoy a comfortable life and many of Eirangard's aristocracy and wealthy have summer homes on the turquoise coasts of Asturias. Other worlds in the region like Kenevar and Musuma are garden worlds as well, with vast fertile farmland that still hold to their Akrian roots of individual rights despite the presence of the aristocracy and the monarchy.
Main Article – History of the Kingdom of Eirangard
The Kingdom of Eirangard has its roots in one of the oldest, farthest flung colonies of the early Astrum Diaspora period. From the difficutl, early days of the founding colony on the world Eiras, to the founding of the Brandt Monarchy by popular vote, the Kingdom of Eirangard's history spans a mellenia of growth, conflict, intirgue, and culture that fills countless volumes in the digital libraries of the galaxy.
Main Article – Government of the Kingdom of Eirangard
The Kingdom of Eirangard is a constitutional monarchy with the monarch forming the executive and judicial arm of the government while the council of lords forms the legislative arm. In addition, the monarchy holds direct power over the military, serving as the "protector of the realm" and "absolute authority on the defense of the Kingdom." Executing veto authority over the legislative proposals of the council of lords, the monarchy of Eirangard borders on near absolute power by the letter of the law. However, the political reality of the kingdom means that – due to the dispersal of military ownership among the various royal houses – the monarchy often finds itself relying on political alliances and political dealings with the council of lords to push the King's agenda.
Main Article – Military of the Kingdom of Eirangard
The Kingdom of Eirangard's military is unique mixture of traditional fuedal hierarchy and modern military standards. With an officer comprised of both royal title holders as well as knighted commoners, the Eirangardian military celebrates the personal achievements of the soldier while also aknowledging the authority carried by the monarchy and the aristocracy. This traditional and modenr set of military structures often find themselves at odds with one another, but are reconciled by a Eirangardian tendency to respect capability over social rank. By Eirangardian military law, rank is given but respect is earned.
Outside of the unique and complex military tradition's of the Eirangardian armed forces, the actual organizational stucture is fairly simple with only two branches to the military – the Naval and Ground forces. The naval forces – referred to as the BannerFleet – are comprised of standardized, functional designs that are bought, maintained and operated by the various houses loyal to the Brandt monarchy. This stucture is similar for the grounder forces – or the Banners. However, of the budget spent on military expendenture, a Lord must pay 25% of that sum as tribute to the royal family, allowing the Brandt monarchy to maintain a huge percentage of the overal Eirangardian armed forces under their own command.
