Tuesday's Tip From Our Junior Blogger
Chicken tending tips straight from the mouth of a 5-year-old!
By Little Chicken Tender
Tips for when your chickens are panting:
When your chickens are panting it means that they are hot. Give them frozen berries and frozen vegetables. They also love cold cucumber. Don't hold them a lot because they will get hotter. Don't chase them around the yard when they are panting because they will get hotter. Don't spray them with water balloons because they will run away and get hotter.
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned next week for another tip from our junior blogger. Any requests?

This stunning cabin in Telluride mountain village, Colorado has been designed by architecture studio in conjunction with interior design firm . The owners of the cabin wanted a home that was rough, organic and timeless. The home's original existence was a nearly derelict cabin, one of the first houses built in the area. The 3,871 square foot home with five bedrooms and five bathrooms was in need of a major overhaul.
Incorporating high-tech steel contrasting with low-tech logs into the design would solve a variety of design problems; leaving it exposed offered a fresh point of view. Most of the rooms on the main level were demolished and the upper floor with its new roofline offered unobstructed views of the San Sophia mountain range. Unified with wood, steel and ceramic tile, the rooms create a backdrop for the refined—mixed with fun—furnishings and fittings. The designer wished to have a contrast with the hard-edged architecture by infusing soft, handcrafted elements into the design.
A chandelier of vintage wood and wire cages custom designed by Studio Frank, supports this home's old-fashioned-with-an-updated-twist design theme.
Smooth-to-the-touch linen upholsters a Montauk sofa while rugs throughout are vegetable-dyed Moroccan vintage pieces from the 1930s. The coffee tables are rugged, reclaimed wood from India with lots of hidden storage. Aluminum-clad Aviator chairs from Restoration Hardware add a unique touch to this space.
Viking appliances blend with metal cabinetry and contrast the custom designed island in this rustic kitchen.
In the dining room, a light fixture from Obsolete hangs over a metal topped dining table that is surrounded by leather-clad Gunnison chairs by Hickory.
Halcyon stone, concrete and wood cabinetry work together in this bathroom.

Amazon.com Review
Through both personal stories and data, Desmond proves that eviction undermines self, family, and community, bearing down disproportionately hard on women with children. In Milwaukee, being behind on rent gives landlords the opening to serve an eviction notice, which leads to a court date. On the face of it, it may seem easy to side with the landlords—of course tenants should pay their rent. But as Evicted pulls back layer after layer, what's exposed is a cycle of hurt that all parties—landlord, tenant, city—inflict on one another. Whether readers agree with Desmond's conclusions for how to break this cycle in order to strengthen families and neighborhoods, it's obvious by the end of Evicted that there is no easy fix, and that people—some addicts, some criminals—will slip through the cracks. But it should be just as obvious that we must still try.—Adrian Liang
"Astonishing... Desmond has set a new standard for reporting on poverty."
—Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times Book Review
"After reading Evicted, you'll realize you cannot have a serious conversation about poverty without talking about housing.... The book is that good, and it's that unignorable."
—Jennifer Senior, New York Times Critics' Top Books of 2016
"This book gave me a better sense of what it is like to be very poor in this country than anything else I have read… It is beautifully written, thought-provoking, and unforgettable."
—Bill Gates
"Inside my copy of his book, Mr. Desmond scribbled a note: "home = life." Too many in Washington don't understand that. We need a government that will partner with communities, from Appalachia to the suburbs to downtown Cleveland, to make hard work pay off for all these overlooked Americans."
—Senator Sherrod Brown, Wall Street Journal
"My God, what [Evicted] lays bare about American poverty. It is devastating and infuriating and a necessary read."
—Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist and Difficult Women
"Written with the vividness of a novel, [Evicted] offers a dark mirror of middle-class America's obsession with real estate, laying bare the workings of the low end of the market, where evictions have become just another part of an often lucrative business model."
—Jennifer Schuessler, New York Times
"In spare and penetrating prose... Desmond has made it impossible to consider poverty without grappling with the role of housing. This pick [as best book of 2016] was not close."
—Carlos Lozada, Washington Post
"An essential piece of reportage about poverty and profit in urban America."
—Geoff Dyer, The Guardian's Best Holiday Reads 2016
"It doesn't happen every week (or every month, or even year), but every once in a while a book comes along that changes the national conversation... Evicted looks to be one of those books."
—Pamela Paul, editor of the New York Times Book Review
"Should be required reading in an election year, or any other."
—Entertainment Weekly
"Powerful, monstrously effective... the power of this book abides in the indelible impression left by its stories."
—Jill Leovy, The American Scholar
"Gripping and important…[Desmond's] portraits are vivid and unsettling.
—Jason DeParle, New York Review of Books
"An exquisitely crafted, meticulously researched exploration of life on the margins, providing a voice to people who have been shamefully ignored—or, worse, demonized—by opinion makers over the course of decades."
—The Boston Globe
"[An] impressive work of scholarship.... As Mr. Desmond points out, eviction has been neglected by urban sociologists, so his account fills a gap. His methodology is scrupulous."
—Wall Street Journal

Omar Khadr is a Toronto-born Canadian, captured by American soldiers after a firefight in Afghanistan in 2002, when he was 15 years old. The only minor since the Second World War to be convicted of purported war crimes, Khadr was imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay and Canada for almost 13 years in total. In 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Khadr's detainment violated "the principles of fundamental justice" and "the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of youth suspects." Despite repeated attempts by the Canadian government to keep him in prison, Khadr was released on bail in May 2015. In July 2017, he received $10.5 million in compensation from the government for Canada's role in violating his constitutional rights.
Although little is known about Chloe Cooley, an enslaved woman in Upper Canada, her struggles against her "owner," Sergeant Adam Vrooman, precipitated the Act to Limit Slavery in Upper Canada, 1793 — the first legislation in the British colonies to restrict the slave trade.
Women have looked to the law as a tool to change their circumstances, while at the same time the law is one of the instruments which confirms their dependent status as citizens (see Status of Women). The first phase of the Women's Movement, in proclaiming that women were capable of reason as well as reproduction and nurturing, claimed a place for women in the public sphere, while also relying upon the concept of "separate spheres" to delineate their areas of strength and competence.
Administrative tribunals in Canada make decisions on behalf of federal and provincial governments when it is impractical or inappropriate for the government to do so itself. Tribunals are set up by federal or provincial legislation, known as "empowering legislation." Tribunals are commonly known as commissions or boards, and make decisions about a wide variety of issues, including disputes between people or between people and the government. Tribunals may also perform regulatory or licensing functions. Tribunal decisions may be reviewed by the courts. Because they engage in fact-finding and have the power to impact personal rights, tribunals are often seen as "quasi-judicial."
The Québec referendum of 1980, on the Parti Québécois government's plans for sovereignty-association, was held in fulfilment of a promise that the party had made to do so, during the 1976 election campaign that brought it to power. In this referendum, the government asked the people of Québec to give it a mandate to "negotiate a new constitutional agreement with the rest of Canada, based on the equality of nations." When the votes were counted, nearly 60% of Quebecers had voted against this plan, and it was thereby rejected. If the "Yes" side had won, the results of the negotiations would have been submitted to a second referendum. The 1980 referendum was followed by constitutional negotiations that have left an indelible mark on the Canadian political scene.
The North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) was the forerunner of Canada's iconic Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Created after Confederation to police the frontier territories of the Canadian West, the NWMP ended the whiskey trade on the southern prairies and the violence that came with it, helped the federal government suppress the North-West Rebellion, and brought order to the Klondike Gold Rush. The NWMP pioneered the enforcement of federal law in the West, and the Arctic, from 1873 until 1920.
The Rand Formula is a feature of Canadian labour law requiring workers covered by collective bargaining contracts to pay union dues — whether or not those workers are union members. The Formula was a victory for unions struggling for recognition and security after the Second World War, and became a standard part of labour contracts, and union power, in the decades that followed.
From 1978 to 2001, at least 65 women disappeared from the Downtown Eastside district of Vancouver, British Columbia, prompting the largest serial killer investigation in Canadian history. Robert Pickton was charged with murdering 26 of the women, and was convicted on six charges. In a jail cell conversation with an undercover police officer, Pickton claimed to have murdered 49 women.
Migration is a unique experience for a child and Canada receives child migrants from all over the world. Some children come as unaccompanied minors and claim refugee status, some come alone and wait to be reunited with their families, while others are international adoptees by Canadian families.
The judiciary – collectively, the judges of the law courts – is the branch of government in which judicial power is vested. It is independent of the legislative and executive branches. Judges are public officers appointed to preside in a court of justice, to interpret and apply the laws of Canada.
Abortion is the premature ending of a pregnancy. Inducing an abortion was a crime in Canada until 1988, when the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the abortion law as unconstitutional. Since then, abortion has been legal at any stage in a woman's pregnancy, and is publicly funded as a medical procedure under the Canada Health Act. However, access to abortion services differs across the country, and abortion remains one of the most divisive political issues of our time.
Assisted suicide is the intentional termination of one's life, assisted by someone who provides the means or knowledge, or both (see also Suicide). Between 1892 and 2016, assisted suicide was illegal in Canada under section 241(b) of the Criminal Code. In 2015, after decades of various legal challenges, the Supreme Court of Canada decided unanimously to allow physician-assisted suicide. In June 2016, the federal government passed the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Act, which established the eligibility criteria and procedural safeguards for medically assisted suicide.

text: U.S News Kathy Griffin revealed that she's still feeling the after-effects of the infamous image she posted of a fake, bloody Donald Trump head in May — and that her friendship with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper is the scandal's latest casualty. Griffin and Cooper's friendship stretches back nearly two decades, and the pair have hosted CNN's New Year's Eve broadcast together since 2007. But when Griffin found herself in hot water after posting an image of herself holding Trump's head in her hands, her old pal waited nearly four months before reaching out. Cooper, like many other celebrities, including Debra Messing and Chelsea Clinton, denounced the photo on Twitter shortly after it went viral. Kathy Griffin shares photo with man at center of Trump Jr. drama "For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate," he wrote. For her part, Griffin told The Cut she understood that Cooper was in a difficult position, but that she wishes he had given her a heads up before he tweeted, or had reached out in any capacity — and not waited until Aug. 10 to check in on his friend. Griffin told the outlet that what hurt her the most was Cooper's appearance on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen" on July 26, when he maintained to the public that he and Griffin were still friends — despite the fact that he still had yet to reach out. "Yeah, we're still friends, and look I said what I said about — I didn't think what she did was appropriate, but I wish her the best and I hope she bounces back," he told Cohen. Anderson Cooper hopes Kathy Griffin will 'bounce back' The "My Life on the D-List" star told The Cut that she told Cooper their friendship was over when he finally did attempt to contact her with a series of text messages. "(Cooper) was shocked and upset by the photo, and while he was not ready to talk to her personally about it, he still considered her to be a friend, and was publicly supportive when asked about the controversy," a source told the outlet. Griffin said Cooper waited until August to reach out, nearly four months after the scandal first broke. (CARLO ALLEGRI/REUTERS) Cooper's friendship wasn't the only thing Griffin lost as a result of the scandal. The comedian faced intense backlash almost immediately, leading to a loss of sponsors, canceled appearances and, most notably, a statement from CNN that declared she was fired from hosting New Year's Eve alongside Cooper. Kathy Griffin says she's not being investigated for Trump photo Griffin offered an emotional apology after the photo went viral, and admitted that the photo was "horrible" while refusing to fully back down. "I'm not laying down for this guy," she said. "I'm going to keep making jokes about this guy."

Catching up on my Scrapbooking
Hey Everybody,
I've been working so much on my card techniques, I let my scrapbooking get behind. I keep a running scrapbook for each year. I add to it as the year goes on. It has worked out so that I use 1 scrapbook per year of our life. I am in the middle of scrapping a trip we took last September to the UP-Upper Penninsula. It is really beautiful up there. I was so surprised by how much prettier the flowers are. I guess due to their mild and wetter climate. Here in Central Illinois everything get's so dry and dies out in late summer. Anyway, Here are a few pages. Each page is a 2 page matching spread, but I only took pics of one in some cases.
This first & second one are the start of this section in my SB for this trip.
In this one I used a little Flip Book insert to put some goodies my husband collected for me from the local woods up there. You could also use these to do a flip book of pictures when you have too many for one page and yet they all go together on that page.
I like to keep my pages more on the simple side. I've never understood doing one picture on a page and then adding tons of other elements. Yes, if you're going to frame it for the wall. But if I did my scrapbook that way, I wouldn't have many actually pictures in it. I'm all about pictures.
I started using my Cricut Cartridge "Camping" and it is really simple diecuts. Not much layering. I like that too.
I usually try to mimic something in my picture. In this one we were above all the trees. So, I simply used a branch.

2009 Hermitage Blanc, Chante Alouette, Maison Chapoutier
White | Drink now | Maison Chapoutier | Code: 4935 | 2009 | France > Rhône > Hermitage | White Rhône Blend | Medium Bodied, Dry | 15.0 % alcohol
Scores and Reviews
PARKER - Perhaps the finest example of this cuvee I have yet tasted, the full-bodied 2009 Ermitage Chante Alouette exhibits notes of almond paste, creme brulee, crushed rocks, white flowers, quince and citrus oil. It is an impressive deep, full-bodied, layered white to enjoy over the next decade. Absolutely prodigious are the three single vineyard white Hermitages, Le Meal, l'Ermite and Cuvee de l'Oree. They are the quintessence of a great Marsanne and three specific sites.

The Producer
Chapoutier now produces the most diverse and complex wines to be found in the northern Rhône. Since Michel Chapoutier took control of this long-established firm in 1988, quality has soared.
All the vineyards are now run on biodynamic principles and now all the grapes in Hermitage and Châteauneuf du Pape are totally destemmed prior to fermentation. Previously, Chapoutier wines were criticised for the length of time they spent in old wood - Michel Chapoutier has thrown out the old chestnut foudres and now the wines spend a maximum of 18 months in small oak casks, up to a third of which are new. Chapoutier's wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered to help preserve their character.
Crucial to Michel Chapoutier's philosophy is the production of "téte de cuvées", which include La Mordorée made from 60 year old vines on the Côte Blonde and Hermitage La Pavillon from 70 year old vines at the base of Les Bessards. Michel Chapoutier first produced Hermitage Vin de Paille in 1990 and it is by far the finest sweet wine produced in the Rhône Valley.
The Chapoutier Sélections Parcellaires are some of the most celebrated and rare wines in the entire Rhône Valley, their precisely delineated provenance providing the ultimate celebration of the concept of terroir, most importantly the terroir of the Hill of Hermitage. These single vineyard Hermitage wines are identified by the ancient name of 'Ermitage'.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
With the exception of the wines from Condrieu and Château-Grillet virtually all Rhône Valley whites are made from blends.
In the north, the white wines of Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, St-Joseph, and St-Péray are produced from blends of Marsanne and Roussanne. Generally Marsanne is the dominant partner and it lends colour, body and weight to the blend, as well as richly scented fruit. Roussanne, a notoriously low yielder and pernickety to grow, produces intensely aromatic wines which contribute bouquet, delicacy and finesse to the blend.
Until about 15 years ago there was very little interest in southern Rhône whites as it was widely believed that the combination of dull non aromatic grapes and the baking summer heat meant quality wine production was nigh impossible. Since then the quality has improved markedly through the introduction of cool fermentation techniques and increased plantings of northern Rhône white grapes.
The base of many blends is still Grenache Blanc, a widely planted variety producing fresh wines with apple-like fruits, often with hints of aniseed. Ugni Blanc is still found in many blends, as is Clairette though their general lack of character and definition has led to a reduction in plantings. The future for southern Rhône whites appears to lie with Roussanne, Marsanne, and, increasingly, Viognier.
The Region
Hermitage is the most famous of all the northern Rhône appellations. The hill of Hermitage is situated above the town of Tain and overlooks the town of Tournon, just across the river. Hermitage has 120 hectares and produces tiny quantities of very long-lived reds.The vines were grown in Roman times, although local folklore claims their origins to be nearly 600 years earlier. The name 'Hermitage' first appeared in the 16th century, derived from a legend of the 13th century Crusade, involving a wounded knight called Gaspard de Stérimberg, who made refuge on the hill, planted vines and became a hermit.
During the 17th century Hermitage was recognised as one of the finest in Europe. In 1775, Ch. Lafite was blended with Hermitage and was one of the greatest wines of its day. In the late 19th century, however, Phylloxera wiped out all the vineyards.
The wines are powerful, with a deep colour and firm tannins, developing into some of the finest examples in France, with the potential to age for many decades. The best Hermitage is produced from several climats or more, blended together. The main climats are Les Bessards, Le Meal, L'Hermite, Les Greffieux and Les Diognieres. Most of the finest climats face broadly south, giving maximum sunshine. Most growers only have one or two climats and they might not complement each other; Hermitage quality can therefore vary hugely. Only the top producers have extensive diversified holdings.
Eighty percent of the wine produced is red, however up to 15 percent of white grapes can be used in the blend. Most growers use 100 percent Syrah and utilise the white grapes to make white wines only. Chapoutier, Jaboulet and Tain l'Hermitage Co-operative are the principle proprietors of the appellation's vineyards.
The white wines are made from the Marsanne and Roussanne grapes. Great white Hermitage has the ability to age, taking on the fruit characters of apricots and peaches, often giving a very nutty finish. The best examples in great vintages can last 50 years.
Mature red Hermitage can be confused with old Bordeaux. In a blind tasting of 1961 First Growth Clarets, the famous 1961 Hermitage La Chapelle was included. Most people, including its owner, Gerard Jaboulet, mistook it for Ch. Margaux.
Recommended producers: Chave, Jaboulet, Chapoutier, Ferraton, Colombier
Best vintages: 2006, 2005, 2004, 2001, 1999, 1997, 1991, 1990, 1985

There are two different ways to clean a Toshiba HDTV screen, depending on which type of HDTV you have. Toshiba offers both LCD and plasma screens. It's important that you clean the screen using the correct set of instructions for the screen type you have.
Video of the Day
Cleaning LCD Screens
Pour 1/2 tsp. of distilled water onto a microfiber cloth. Wring out the cloth if it starts to drip. Gently wipe the screen, beginning at the top. Go left to right, and then reverse until you've cleaned the whole screen in steady rows.
Check the screen to see if there are any soiled spots remaining. If there are, mix take 2 cups of vinegar and 2 cups of distilled water in a small bowl. Rinse the cloth and then dip it in the bowl. Wring it out and wipe the screen in rows as before.
Look at the screen again. If it's completely clean, simply let it air dry. (It shouldn't take long since you didn't use much water.) If there are still spots remaining, try again with a mixture of one part rubbing alcohol and one part water only on the stubborn areas.
Cleaning Plasma Screens
Wipe the screen in rows with a dry microfiber cloth, following the same procedure as in Step 1 for the LCD TV.
See if the screen came clean from the dry cloth. If not, dip one corner of the cloth into a small dish of distilled water. Wipe the screen with water only in the spots where smudges, dust or debris remain. Keep your screen as dry as possible.
Check for soiled spots once again. If there are places that didn't come clean with the water, buy a plasma screen cleaning kit from your local electronics store. Before doing so, call Toshiba at (800) 631-3811 and find out which one is right for your TV. The wrong one could cause permanent damage. The kit will contain a special spray you can use to clean your screen.

Toronto Neighbourhoods Wall Art | The Goof Garden Gate,| The Beaches
Located in "The Beach" area of eastern Toronto this restaurant has been a favorite hang-out for thousands of kids many of whom attended Malvern Collegiate. At one point the neon sign lost power to two letters and the result read "GOO-FOO" which got shortened again verbally to "GOOF". The Fox Cinema across Queen Street East was and is still an attraction. Dinner at the Goof and a movie at the Fox equals a good night out in the Beach.
Crightonism: I've done the Goof-Fox night-out a few times myself and always enjoyed seeing my artwork on the menu too. It's been a while so I'm not sure it's still on the cover... I hope so :)

By Andrew Both
GREENSBORO, North Carolina (Reuters) - Adam Scott has taken a leaf out of fellow Australian Jason Day's book by coaxing his instructor into doing double duty as a caddie.
Day, who became the 11th Australian major champion when he won the PGA Championship on Sunday, has used Colin Swatton as both a coach and caddie for his entire professional career.
And now Scott has instructor Brad Malone on his bag at the Wyndham Championship, although at this stage it is only a one-week arrangement.
But the 2013 Masters champion does not rule out using Malone more frequently – if that is what Malone wants.
"It has worked well for Jason and Colin and because Brad only coaches me, he could be quite helpful out there," Scott told Reuters at Sedgefield Country Club, where he posted a four-under 136 halfway total on Friday.
"I really thoroughly enjoyed it, just from having some fun, but it was good because we speak the same language all the time because he watches all my practice (sessions).
"He understands my feelings of shots and things like that. It was a good eye opener to have him out there."
Malone is filling in because Steve Williams, who came out of semi-retirement to work for Scott at the last three majors, has returned home to New Zealand for a breather.
"It was good timing to have Brad pick up the bag for a week, for his own interest sake," continued Scott, who barely a year ago was ranked number one in the world, but has slipped to 12th.
"Sometimes when you're outside the ropes you're not seeing everything that's going on. He's trying to learn a little bit more about my game too by being inside the ropes and seeing how it all plays out.
"(Having him caddie regularly is) not something we've discussed but I'm open-minded for everything just generally and that would be something he'd want to show interest in. Obviously you need somebody out there who wants to be out there."
Scott, 35, agreed to let Williams work part-time after previously saying such an arrangement was unacceptable.
This might make Williams, who worked for Tiger Woods for 13 of the American's 14 major victories, the first caddie ever with the power to dictate his schedule to his boss.
"Moving forward I don't actually have a plan as yet," said Scott. "It all depends on how this week goes."

For the past year, I've been into a minimal makeup look. I think the catalyst for that was going from contacts to glasses- its hard to show off a great eye look when your frames cover it all up. So my focus these days has been good skin, nice brows, and a glossy lip. Beyond that, I've been really into skincare! It has made all the difference since I don't wear foundation.
Now keep in mind that what works for me might not work for you! So here's a little info to help you out.
Skintype: Normal to combination. Also I have oily lids.
Undertones: Yellow, leans a bit olive.
Skin issues: Eczema that is aggravated by… fuck so much stuff.
I've placed everything in this lookbook in the general order of how I apply it, with my evening skincare last. Let me know what you think!

Our daily roundup of retirement news your clients may be thinking about.
Why don't more people wait to claim Social Security at 70?
Although Social Security retirement benefits increase at the age of 70, many seniors opt to claim their benefits before they reach that age, according to personal finance website Motley Fool. The latest data shows that 90% of Americans start collecting benefits at age 66 or earlier, In fact, less than 5% wait until age 70 (2% of men and 4% of women). Since a retiree's benefit for those who wait until age 70 is a whopping 76% greater than those who file at age 62 (before adjusting for eight years of COLA increases), the looming question is: Why don't more people wait? The obvious answer is that many Americans stop working before 70 and need the money. This isn't necessarily by choice. In a study from EBRI, 61% of workers who stop working at age 65 or earlier, did so for health reasons. Another 18% were laid off, and yet another 18% retired to care for a family member. -- The Motley Fool
A restricted application Social Security tip for 132% higher benefit
A senior who still qualifies for Social Security restricted application may have his 64-year-old wife file for her own retirement benefits when she reaches the age of 66, says an expert. He will need to restrict his application to spousal benefits by the time he turns 66, the expert adds. "And when you turn 70, you'll want to switch to your own benefit, which will be 132% larger than it would have been at 66." -- USA Today
How a single person can minimize taxes in retirement
Senior clients need to plan how to tap their retirement accounts to minimize the tax bite after they retire, according to this article on Yahoo Finance. They need to know that a portion of their Social Security retirement benefits may be taxed while their withdrawals from IRA and 401(k) are included in their taxable income. Roth IRA withdrawals are not subject to income tax while tax breaks should be considered before opting to itemize tax deductions. -- Yahoo Finance
Why bonds still make sense in retirement
Investors are advised to reduce their stock allocation and boost their allocation to bonds in retirement, according to Kiplinger. After they retire, investors' goals shift from growth to capital preservation and consistency in performance. That's why they need to lower their risk exposure by opting for more bonds, accordimg to this article, which are less risky compared with stocks. -- Kiplinger
Which Social Security calculator to use
Social Security provides online and dowloadable calculators that clients can use to get a good estimate of their futire retirement, disability and survivor benefits, according to MarketWatch. These calculators will requires different sets of data and yield estimates of the benefits they want to know for effective retirement planning. Remember that these estimates are in current dollars, so they don't account for future inflation and they assume you'll continue to work at last year's income level (or the last year posted) until the ages shown. -- MarketWatch

Tithing - giving a fixed percentage of one's income to the Church - is a
seldom practiced part of our religion. Many people, from
Dave Ramsey to
St. Michael all agree it is a good thing to do. The art of sacrifice, to go without some
physical pleasure for the betterment of something greater is a "good thing."
But the question remains,
should Catholics tithe?
The answer seems to be, we should, but we are under no obligation to. Rather
we should give from the heart. Even the Catechism of the Catholic Church says:
2043 [...] The faithful also have the duty of providing for the material needs
of the Church, each according to his own abilities.
Go to the top...
The need for money to support our various
Church Ministries,
Religious Education Program,
Social Outreach Programs, and
to maintain our aging facilities (overseen by the
Building Committee),
seldom decreases. In fact, as our recent 2015 church survey indicated,
there is a desire among our parishoners for more and more events that
support the family,
increase the size and quality of our facilities, etc. None of these
things can occur without financial help from you, our parishoners.
Many people use our Offertory collection plate to make a donation. Some
register their address with the church and receive a weekly donation envelope
to both remind them, and to allow the staff an easy way to record their
donations for tax time.
Whatever mode of giving you choose, please make it a habit. Instill this
habit in all members of your family. Even kids can make a donation.

Sono triste perchè l'uncinetto e la mia spalla riposano ancora... Sigh!
Ne approfitto però per farvi vedere un vecchio/nuovo amico
Imagine a melancholy music in the background, a black and white film that takes a creative sad.
I am sad because the hook and my shoulder still rest ... Sigh!
I take this opportunity, however, to make you see an old / new friend
|Cado Cado! I'm falling!
He has always that frightened expression and it takes a lot of pampering to calm him down.

Generously giving of ourselves is a heart thing. Jesus went so far as to say that, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21). God doesn't need our help. God doesn't need our suggestions. God doesn't even need our money. What He wants is our hearts. If we have given our hearts to the Lord and our faith is in Christ alone, then we understand how important it is to give. When we give joyfully and generously, God takes what we each give, combines it and multiplies it into far more than anything we could do alone. What a beautiful picture of the Church working together to impact God's Kingdom through our joyful generosity!
We have several options for giving at Mountain Life Church.
• Cash or Check

text: A comprehensive review of the results of needle aponeurotomy in 1,013 fingers was performed by Gary M. Pess, MD, Rebecca Pess, DPT and Rachel Pess, PsyD and published in the Journal of Hand Surgery April 2012. Minimal followup was 3 years. Metacarpophalangeal joint (MP) contractures were corrected an average of 99% and Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) contractures an average of 89% immediately post procedure. At final follow-up, 72% of the correction was maintained for MP joints and 31% for PIP joints. The difference between the final corrections for MP versus PIP joints was statistically significant. When a comparison was performed between patients age 55 years and older versus under 55 years, there was a statistically significant difference at both MP and PIP joints, with greater correction maintained in the older group. Gender differences were not statistically significant. Needle aponeurotomy provided successful correction to 5° or less contracture immediately post procedure in 98% (791) of MP joints and 67% (350) of PIP joints. There was recurrence of 20° or less over the original post procedure corrected level in 80% (646) of MP joints and 35% (183) of PIP joints. Complications were rare except for skin tears, which occurred in % (34) of digits. This study showed that NA is a safe procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. The complication rate was low, but recurrences were frequent in younger patients and for PIP contractures. [47]
