It can be somewhat overwhelming to learn everything there is to know about gardening. Luckily, gardening can be researched easily, taught and learned. Read on to learn some helpful tips to help educate you on the subject of gardening, allowing you to become a more proficient gardener.
Bring some plants into your home to protect them against winter weather. Your best bet would be try to save the best or most hearty plants. Carefully dig up the plants, using caution not to disturb the roots, then transfer into a pot.
Mint leaves are wonderful, but don't you despise how quickly they can take over a garden due to rapid growth? Try to keep your mint in a container in your garden to stop their rampage. If you would like, go ahead and plant the container and the plant right in the ground to prevent root overtake.
A green garden needs to begin with seeds, not plants. It's better for the environment to begin from seed. The problem is those plastic trays which end up in landfills and are not generally recycled. Plants in organic packagingn or seeds sown in your garden, are fine .
See to it that you fertilize your garden. While a lot of people use manure, it is better to choose fertilizer from a reputable company, as this will reduce the risk of any pathogens getting into your soil. There are a wide variety of fertilizing options available, although which type you use is not that important; just make sure to use something.
You should start pea seedlings indoors instead of planting them outside right at the start. When the plants are started inside, the seeds will have an easier time germinating. The seedlings tend to be healthier, which would help them resist diseases and pests more easily. Take the seedlings outdoors once they look strong enough.
Take the time to place organic mulch in the area around your vegetable plants. Mulching helps keep moisture in the soil. Mulch will help a lot in preventing weeds from growing. This could save you lots of weed-pulling time.
Good tools for the gardener include a wheelbarrow and a kneeling stool. It's rough on your knees to spend lots of time on the ground kneeling or squatting. That's why it's a good idea to have a portable, lightweight garden stool on hand. Because gardening means transporting a lot of heavy things, a wheelbarrow will also come in handy.
Cooled water left over from steaming vegetables can be fed to them as a little snack. Tea and coffee grounds can be used to add acidity to your soil for plants like gardenias and rhododendrons. Herbal chamomile tea is an effective, affordable treatment for fighting fungi.
It isn't as nearly as horrible as you thought it would be, right? Just like any number of topics, much has been written on the subject of gardening, and therefore a great deal of advice is available. In many cases, all that's needed to make some sense of the whirlwind of information is a reference point from which to get started. Hopefully, this article will serve that purpose and set you on the path to a beautiful garden.

text: Republicans offered Democrats two more weeks before the doomsday shut-down. Democrats countered with four. Republicans held their ground. Democrats agreed to two. This is what passes for compromise in our nation's capital. Democrats have become irrelevant. If they want to be relevant again they have to connect the dots: The explosion of income and wealth among America's super-rich, the dramatic drop in their tax rates, the consequential devastating budget squeezes in Washington and in state capitals, and the slashing of public services for the middle class and the poor.

Trujillo aims to build on breakout year
What do jockeys like Jerry Bailey, Jose Santos, Alex Solis and, more recently, Eibar Coa and Javier Castellano have in common? They all won riding titles at Calder Race Course before going on to bigger and better things on the national stage.
The next jockey whose name might appear on that list is Elvis Trujillo, who comes off the biggest year of his career in 2007 and enters the 2008 Gulfstream meeting as a rising star in an already star-studded riding colony.
The 24-year-old Trujillo won his first riding title last season at Calder before finishing second behind Manoel Cruz for the Tropical at Calder title. Trujillo gained national recognition in 2007 by winning both his first Grade 1 race, the Ballerina Stakes at Saratoga, and his first Breeders' Cup race, the Filly and Mare Sprint. He won both aboard Maryfield for trainer Doug O'Neill.
Trujillo, who graduated from the Laffit Pincay Jr. Jockey School in his native Panama in 2000, won 35 races in Panama and 55 in Mexico City before coming to this country in 2001. He won with his first mount in the United States that year at Hollywood Park before moving his tack to Arlington Park the following spring and winning with his first two rides.
Trujillo ultimately made his way to south Florida in 2004, coming to Gulfstream Park at the behest of trainer Wesley Ward. And as was the case in California and Illinois, Trujillo wasted little time making his presence felt, winning with his first four mounts at the meet.
"I was in Mexico with my wife, who was pregnant at the time, when my agent, Cliff Collier, called and told me Wesley wanted me to come to Gulfstream to ride for him," Trujillo said. "That's how I wound up in south Florida. And except for a couple of summers at Monmouth Park, I've been here ever since."
Trujillo won 47 races and finished sixth in the Gulfstream Park standings last year, and is looking to bigger and better things this winter.
"I think I have a lot more confidence now than I had a year ago, and with the success I've had this past season, I think I'll have a lot more trainers willing to use me," Trujillo said. "The whole thing in this business is opportunity. The success I've had this year, especially winning a Breeders' Cup race, has opened some new doors for me, although this business is like an ocean - it goes back and forth just like the tides. One minute it's in and the next it's out again."
Trujillo's big break came in July when he hooked up with O'Neill and Maryfield for Calder's Grade 1 Princess Rooney Handicap. The pair finished fourth behind the speedy River's Prayer, but O'Neill and his owners were impressed enough with Trujillo's ride to give him a second chance when Maryfield returned East the following month for the Ballerina.
"The owners called and asked if I'd ride her at Saratoga," Trujillo recalled. "I had a lot of business at Calder that day and she was a longshot in the race, but I'd never ridden at Saratoga before and thought, who knows if I'd ever get another chance to ride up there again."
Trujillo continued his string of riding firsts in the Ballerina, guiding his first Saratoga mount into the winner's circle after a nose victory over Baroness Thatcher.
But the best was yet to come.
"I wasn't sure if I'd be asked to ride Maryfield back for the Breeders' Cup," Trujillo said. "Many times owners and trainers want a big-name jockey and not a little guy from a place like Calder for a race like that. But the owners called me and said they wanted me to come and ride her at Monmouth Park. And that alone gave me so much confidence."
Trujillo added another first to his ever-growing list when he put up a perfectly judged ride in the rain and slop to win the inaugural Filly and Mare Sprint in his first Breeders' Cup appearance.
"The feeling of winning a Breeders' Cup was just incredible," said Trujillo, who also finished third aboard Cannonball later that afternoon in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
Ward will again be Trujillo's biggest supporter this winter at Gulfstream. The pair will team up four times on opening day, including in the featured South Beach Stakes with Mystic Soul.
"I'm looking forward to having a very good meet," Trujillo said. "I also hope I'm in a position now to start looking for that one good young horse that might take me to my first Derby. Opportunity, that's the key in this business. I never thought I'd win a Breeders' Cup race. Especially in my first try. So why not think about the Derby, too?"

Dalai Lama calls for genuine India-China friendshipNovember 27th, 2007 - 4:16 pm ICT by admin
By Ravinder Singh Robin
Amritsar , Nov 27 (ANI): Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has said that he supports India-China friendship, but adds that these ties should be genuine.
The Dalai Lama, who is here to attend the third meeting of the Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders on the theme of: "Sharing Wisdom: The Case of Love and Forgiveness" said that good relations between India and China are not only good for Asia, but also good for world peace.
" India and China are the two most populous nations so genuine friendship on the basis of mutual trust is interest of whole Asia . Because of sheer population, the good relation on the basis of mutual trust is very important for world peace, said the Dalai Lama.
His holiness also reiterated the Tibetans' demand for meaningful autonomy in Tibet .
"We are not seeking independence because of our interest. Everybody knows Tibet is backward materially and every Tibetan wants more development. Therefore Tibet remains with the people of China . As far as material development is concerned, we gain more benefit, provided we should have meaningful autonomy," he added.
In his latest diplomatic move, the Dalai Lama is to meet Pope Benedict at the Vatican in December.
Such a visit could derail the tentative thaw in relations between China and the Vatican , which has not had formal ties with Beijing since the Communist Government was swept to power in 1949.
Beijing 's rhetoric against the Dalai Lama has been increasing, even though the Chinese Government has engaged in six rounds of talks with his envoys, most recently in July. (ANI)

A historical story set in 18th century England: By the author of the book behind the BBC hit costume drama THE SCANDALOUS LADY W
Georgian England, 1789. Under a cloud of scandal, Henrietta Lightfoot flees her home at Melmouth Park. She has little money and no worthwhile talents, for what use is a neat stitch and a pretty voice outside the drawing room? Without family support, her only hope of survival lies with the dashing but elusive Lord Allenham...
In a desperate quest to find him, Henrietta embarks on a journey through London's debauched and glittering underworld, where she discovers more about her own mysterious past than she could have imagined. With the aid of new-found skills at the card table and on the stage, will Henrietta be able to turn her life around to become mistress of her fate?

Feleipe Franks' maturity, upbringing helped him handle hype, crazy recruitment
CRAWFORDVILLE, Fla. — The hype and stress of being a high-profile quarterback came early for Feleipe Franks.
Clemson offered him in the spring of his freshman year (2013), before he had even become the full-time starter at Wakulla High School. That summer, Florida was the next school to offer.
Franks picked up nine more offers in the three months following his sophomore season, including schools such as Alabama, Florida State and UGA.
His mother, Ginger Franks, made sure it didn't go his head.
"He overlooked a lot of that stuff," Franks said. "He knows that when he gets to college, it's not going to be like when you're being recruited. You have to get up, go to work and fight for your position. That's just the way it is, bottom line.
"So we never got caught up in the recruiting stuff. We're simple people just living out in the country. We like a quiet life. So I told coaches, 'You don't need to wine and dine us.' Feleipe knows that's not reality."
An offer from LSU in May of 2014 led to Franks' commitment to the Tigers two months later. For more than a year, his recruiting process calmed down with his pledge in place.
That all changed this November, when Franks made three consecutive visits to Florida and flipped to the Gators by the end of the month, citing his relationship with coach Jim McElwain and offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier as well as their track record with quarterback development.
While Franks' decision may have been easy, the aftermath of it was anything but.
Florida's pursuit of 5-star QB Jacob Eason and LSU's last-ditch efforts with two in-home visits were a feeding frenzy for fans and media. Franks addressed those topics in an exclusive interview with SEC Country, but otherwise ignored the outside noise.
"I definitely am a guy that stays focused on the task at hand and takes things day-by-day," Franks said. "When everything was happening around me that the media was blowing up, I was just focusing on my team and winning a state championship. I can't worry about what I can't control."
His mother said she's proud of how he handled himself during his recruitment, especially near the end with his team in the midst of a playoff run.
"A lot of quarterbacks, they just have to be able to block out stuff or they're not going to be good," she said. "Feleipe did that. That's just a trait of a good quarterback.
"I think growing up the way he has, just the country lifestyle, kind of isolated him from a lot of nonsense. I'm really honest with him about social media and staying away from all of it. Don't put something out there unless you want it on the front page of the newspaper."
The last of a dying breed, Franks doesn't really play video games and isn't into social media, though he said he'll get on Instagram every now and then. He made his last post when Gators fans were wondering if he'd stick with his commitment because of UF recruiting other quarterbacks.
"I have been up against tough competition all my life. The funny thing is, that's where I thrive," Franks wrote.
Franks proved that at the Elite 11 this summer, and his mother expects the same out of him in college.
"I'm excited for him," she said. "I know how hard he's worked to get there, but I'm very blunt with him on that. There's always somebody trying to take your position and replace you, so don't ever think you're better than anybody. You have to stay grounded and humble."

Sign Up for Our Monthly River Cruise Newsletter
I accept the T&C and Privacy Policy.
As the riverboat sailed slowly along the shore, I suddenly found myself face to face with a local construction worker drilling away on a platform. We made eye contact, and he started to smirk — his co-worker, whose back was turned to me, had no idea that both the smooth-sailing Tauck Savor and I were directly behind him. Finally, the man turned around, and the three of us had a good laugh before the Savor sailed away.
I had never had such an authentic local encounter without even leaving my guestroom. The whole exchange happened while I was lounging in a chair inside my cabin — on the lower deck.
A first for the cruise industry, Tauck's new Category 3 lower-deck cabin features a split-level design that quite literally elevates the room. A second-story loft offers a seating area and a panoramic window that opens completely, illuminating the entire cabin and allowing for serendipitous encounters at sea level.
This innovative spin on the lower-deck cabin is one of the defining features of Tauck's new Inspiration Class, which launched earlier this year with the Inspire and most recently with the Savor, increasing Tauck's river capacity by 55 percent. The new room design is so out of the box that Tauck CEO and president Dan Mahar couldn't quite picture it when he heard the pitch.
"It wasn't until we saw the rooms that the potential really hit us," Mahar said. "And that's the challenge — and opportunity — of doing something different."
According to Mahar, the goal for the Inspiration class was to keep a Jewel-class onboard experience while also offering more suites, larger rooms and lower-deck cabins that Tauck's luxury clients would want to book. Tauck has found some success by offering porthole rooms to single travelers without a supplement — something it will continue to offer with four porthole rooms on Inspiration ships. But in the geography of a cruise vessel, the space below sea level is typically the least-desired region, doomed to darkness, confinement and limited views. That might be fine for other river cruise lines — but not for Tauck.
Tauck's ships sell from top to bottom. Suites go first, and if there is any capacity left, it has typically been for lower-deck rooms.
"There are now 22 suites [at 300 square feet each] and eight lower-deck loft rooms," Mahar said. "Other organizations don't have the customer base to fill those kinds of cabins. We're the only company that has this demand."
While there are enhancements throughout the ship, the Category 3 lofts are the showstopper. At 225 square feet, the lofted cabin is not the biggest room available, but the split level makes the room feel more spacious than more expensive rooms onboard. The downstairs level is a lovely place to be as well, featuring a queen-size bed with 400-thread-count sheets; a closet; a 32-inch LED television; a spacious bathroom with rain shower and a coffee area.
How Tauck managed to pull off these rooms is puzzling at first. From the outside, the tall windows appear to be taking up space precious to deck-two cabins, but that's the advantage of creating a ship that's bigger and for fewer passengers — there's more space to play with throughout the ship. With 130 guests spread out through 135 meters, everything feels roomier, including the gym, the dining room and Arthur's, a casual dining area named after the company's chairman.
This year, Savor will sail itineraries exclusively along the Danube River. Its sister ship, Inspire, will sail itineraries mainly along the Rhine and Moselle rivers. One more Jewel-class vessel is slated for 2015, along with two more Inspiration-class ships in 2016.

"Photography, as we all know, isn't real at all. It's an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world."
- Arnold Newman
I remember when I was just starting out on my photography journey, how I would drool over other photographer's photos. One day, I asked my new photographer friend (who taught me to use my camera) how this particular photographer had achieved this particular look.
See, I was disheartened that my new (to me) DSLR camera and kit lens couldn't seem to recreate those creamy-dreamy images I longed for. What was I doing wrong?
I was shocked and slightly disappointed when Jen examined the image and said, "Oh, it's some filter or something she used in her post-processing." I was frustrated to know that what I thought was in-camera-art was actually carefully done editing. And I didn't know the first thing about editing at the time. Really, the idea of one more thing to learn scared me.
I was also anti-editing cause I hate the way the media warps our perception of beauty through over-the-top Photoshop use in photos of women. What woman hasn't felt the sting of not being able to measure up to the "magazine perfection" all around us? So I was also afraid that if I edited pimples off of my client's skin that I would be feeding into that warped perception.
Fast forward two years later and I am now using Photoshop at a proficient level. I use Photoshop to re-touch all of my client photos and most of my personal photos. I'm learning to be comfortable with the fact that I'm using post-processing to create a certain mood or feeling in my images. And also to minimize distractions.
It's taken me a little while to feel like that's not "cheating", but actually a part of my art!
I recently heard Kellie Bieser of Shutter & Glass Photography describe editing perfectly. She said that post-processing is where we, as the artist, get to make our original vision come to life. It's where we get to paint and play and create and break the rules if we want to.
I just love that!
The photo at the beginning of this post obviously has a significant amount of editing. But adding that radial blur just worked so well with the fun, crazy moment of a little girl singing songs and twirling ribbons! And THAT photo was actually the version her mom wanted to purchase, rather than the clean edit! Of course it's not "real"... but it's not supposed to be!
Here are some more examples...
Surprise! It's a cloudy day in Germany! (okay, no real surprise there) BUT I have seen sunlight pour gloriously through this window in my village's church. And I wanted Ashley and Wayne to have that! Some might call it cheating, but I call it magical... thanks to Jessica Drossin's Force of Nature Light Effects.
Distracting fan and cord in the background? Not anymore! Yes, I could have moved it before shooting... but it was a really hot day in the studio and these amazing gals really needed the breeze!
These are both examples of when I use Photoshop to bring out the vibrant colors that I saw. Sometimes that just doesn't record well in the camera! Editing to the rescue. The bright buildings in Rothenburg become truly bright. The contrast between the Ferris Wheel and the stormy sky really pop.
Here's another example of artistic color changes. The lighting in this room wasn't actually so pink. But making it so added to the romantic feel of the shot. Which better reflects how I was feeling when I looked at these Christmas roses from My Love.
So maybe these coins are ACTUALLY sitting on my super dirty not-really-white patio table. But that's not part of the story of this shot. So those distracting elements? Poof, gone.
Life's all about balance. Anything can be overdone. But I am comfortable using Photoshop to bring my images to life. Not only can I fix most anything (busy mom forgets to re-paint her nails? No problem!) but I can make magic on the dreariest of days. I can crop and clone and change things around. I notice the sparkly, shiny, bright parts of life. I want those things to really stand out in my images.
A part of what you pay for when you hire a professional photographer is the time and talent it takes to create art. I've always been able to snap a picture. But now I can bring a creative dream to life!
What do you think about some of those images? Check out Jessica Drossin for an extreme example of artistic editing. Do you agree with the Arnold Newman quote that photographers create an illusion of reality? Let me know in the comments!

Check out our week one match ups for the Literally Literate FFL and vote for who you think will be the victor!
Click to enlarge photos.
For this first installment of amazing telekinetic predictions, I use my ESP skills to gaze into the maddening abyss that is the fantasy football future and return back here in normal space time with some gems of information on players who will return to former glory this year.
After an 80 point decline from his 2011 to his 2012 seasons, one thing is still for certain: they love, love, love to throw the ball in Detroit. Stafford routinely leads the league in throws, and no one sees that changing anytime soon. The return of Ryan Broyles could open up defenses, who usually only worry about Calvin Johnson. The addition of Reggie Bush should also help out Stafford, as Bush continues to be one of the best receiving RB's, right behind Darren Sproles. This season Expect to see Stafford in the top 5 QB's.
No doubt most everyone and their dog blames Romo for the lack of productivity on offense for the Cowboys, but he actually posts amazing numbers despite having almost every offensive weapon hurt at some point every year. The Cowboys and Romo truly have something to prove this year, and it's time to put up or shut up. If the Boys can stay healthy, expect Romo to creep into the top 7 QB ranks.
Adding Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs roster has bolstered a lot of praise for the output of the oft-hyped Bowe. Many FF owners have been waiting for this prospect to finally eclipse 1,200 yards and 7 touchdowns, only to be disappointed yet again. With a new coach and a QB who can sling lasers, I can see Bowe having a career year, when I look into my crystal ball this year.
Ol' Fitzy had one of his worst years ever in 2012, but like Bowe, many are hoping that a new coach and QB can somehow resurrect his career. I see very good things in Fitzgerald upcoming season, including his return to the top 10 in WR categories. Carson Palmer is no Godsend, but he will do for a receiver who can pluck just about any ball from his near vicinity.
Let's face it. No one likes playing for the Rams. They have great talent, but no foundation with which to exhibit that talent. Now that Jackson is on the high-flying Atlanta Falcons offense, it's not crazy to think that their offensive numbers could somehow be even gaudier. Jackson has been considered a has-been for quite some time now, but my powers of telepathy are telling me that he will have a season for the ages! I've got him pegged as a top 10 kinda guy.
Confidence in Murray's game is rapidly dwindling. In fact, in ESPN standard scoring, he is slotted just above Danny Woodhead and Vick Ballard, two backups, and just below Willis Mcgahee, who doesn't even play for a team. This is shenanigans, I say! As mentioned previously, if the Boys don't win, they get fired this year, in my mind, so it's now or never for a guy who has crazy upside. I'm calling top 12 stats this year in the RB department.
I was rooting for the Spurs last night. I hate the Heat with all of my young, naive heart. Because deep in the recesses of my soul, I believe that good will always triumph over evil–that no matter what hardships are faced, no matter the slings and arrows of defeat–that in the end, the good guy will win.
Not anymore.
There are two reasons why the Spurs lost last night: free throws and Gregg Popovich.
The free throws are easy to explain. Hit them and you've won a championship, yet they missed 7 as a team, 3 or 4 of them during critical junctures in the NBA Finals Game 6 last night. The hard part to explain is the mental three-ring circus that head coach Gregg Popovich put on–a ringmaster leading bumbling grizzly bears on trikes to the basket.
With the game on the line, ol' Pop refused to take Manu Ginobli out of the game. Manu, a man who had 9 points and 8 turnovers. A man who almost had the double double stat line from hell. A man who has had one great game this entire playoffs, when his legacy as a man, who puts an orange thing in an orange thing, was on the line.
Then, on the last play of the game, ol' Pop puts in Duncan (who he had been routinely taking out, which lead to multiple Heat offensive rebounds) and Splitter. Down 3 points and needing a three-pointer, and he decides not to put in…oh, I don't know, maybe 5 three-point shooters!
Popovich has been hailed as one of the most cerebral coaches of his era, but last night showed how confidence can lead to calamity. After Manu had a great game as a starter, Pop road that Euro turnover train til it derailed the entire franchise. Those 8 turnovers from Manu were so stupid. Let me explain.
Manu would take the ball at the top of the key. Duncan would pick for him and roll to the basket, and Manu would pass him the ball. Very simple basketball for most.
Well, easy for defenders as well. The Heat quickly realized that this was the only play Manu was actually capable–well, I take that back–not capable of making. Every time he tried this pick-n-pass, he got picked off. Not once during the game did Manu make a clean pass. But it turned out that Manu had saved his greatest turnover for overtime:
Yeah, Manu, taking on 4 defenders by yourself, who have proven to have an eye for the ball, is such a sound decision. Why Popovich left this guy in I feel has mostly to do with their career relationship. So, you've worked with a guy for over a decade, so what? It would be a lot easier to explain to Manu how you sat him in game 6 when you have a championship ring to give him.
This was by far the worst coaching job in this chess match of a series. The games have gone back and forth the whole time. Many people cite the fact that Miami hasn't lost two games in a row since the first of this year. But they seem to forget that the Heat haven't won two games in a row in 13 games now.
Still, I don't think the Spurs can recover from such a loss. Knowing you played well enough to have won, but still lost, is a hard pill to swallow.
Thanks, Pops.
Happy Turkey Day!
The one time of the year when your usually-over-the-top addictions of carbs and football seem normal. But with the possibility of inter-familial battles on the horizon and three games on tap for today, you're gonna wanna set that lineup early.
Pats vs. Jets:
Much like turkey, the New York Jets are bound to make you sleepy. At least they're playing against the high-flying Pats–that should keep you from snoozing. The Jets' RB situation is muddled right now with Bilal Powell and Shonn Greene splitting carries out of the backfield. Oh, and of course there's the QB situation. Personally, I love Tebow, and playing him on Thanksgiving Day is just about as American as it can get! The Pats have a weak D, so if New York can put together anything worth writing home about, this could turn into a close one. With The Gronk out at TE, look for Julian Edelman to have another big game, along with Wes Welker, catching passes out of the slot. The Jets don't stand a chance, but it's always a treat to watch these bumbling idiots try not to self-destruct each week. Tune in for laughs! Pats 37–Jets 16
Texans vs. Lions:
Just like your drunk uncle at the holidays, this game is bound to surprise! Think about it. The Houston Texans got scorched in their last game against the Jags, and Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford seem to finally be on the same page. If the Texans D is as bad as last game, this has shootout written all over it. The Lions' D is nothing special, and Matt Schaub finally found Andre Johnson in week 11, after an entire season of mediocrity. Two exposed D's and two high-flying offenses–possibly more exciting than the Jets…possibly. Texans 27–Lions 23
Dem Boys vs. Dem Skins:
Your all-time Thanksgiving Day arm wrestling tally pales in comparison to the hatred manifested between Dallas and Washington. This rivalry goes way way back, and I have a feeling Dallas will finally show up for a game. They know all the hype RGIII has been getting this year, and the Dallas D has had a "bend but don't break" philosophy that could easily be ramped up to counteract all the action on the Redskins' offense. Dallas, however, is dreadful at home this year. Very evenly matched–Romo may be the difference. Cowboys 21–Redskins 23

Enable us never to flinch where truth and justice are assailed.
May we serve You as other Christs by prayer and good works
by bringing into every phase of private and public life

"This might be a cyst," said a nurse practitioner. Taking out a syringe from a drawer, she was going to puncture my breast to see if any liquid would be sucked out from the lump or not. As I've never had a shot in my breast, it made me nervous, but I trusted the word "numb" of the local anesthesia the practitioner said.
A needle punctured, but nothing came out.
"You can dress now. I will order a mammogram and ultrasound in the next week. Don't worry, we are with you," said she and left the room.
Covering my tender breast, I left the exam room . I took the day off today. Not feeling like going home directly, I decided to go to a shopping mall.
Since no fluid came out from the lump, it is not a cyst.
If it is not a cyst, is it possibly cancer?
While wandering at the mall, questions popped out one after another.
Then the cellphone rang. It was from George.
"The hospital moved up your appointment for Mammogram and Ultrasound to tomorrow. You need to call to confirm."
The moved-up exam made me think that this was urgent and created more anxiety.
At a Japanese supermarket, I ran into Karen, who was a long-term friend.
"How are you?" We exchanged greetings as usual.
"I found a lump. I am on the way home from the hospital."
"Really? If you hear the result, please let me know," said she.
"Yes. If it is cancer, I need lots of prayers!" Replying with a smile, I left.
At home George was waiting for me anxiously.
"It was not a cyst. The exam hurt," I said.
He, who didn't say much, was probably thinking of the same thing as me.

Inside EMS Podcast: How EMS can improve pediatric care
Download this quick clip on iTunes, SoundCloud or via RSS feed
In this week's Inside EMS podcast, host Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson discuss why airline employees didn't use an AED on a man having a heart attack because his chest was too hairy.
"This smacks of just poor training all around," Grayson said.
They also explore models for ambulance billing outsourcing in light of a Mo. initiative, and highlight a new, experimental heart failure drug that shows great promise, and is expected to be on the market by 2015.
"They actually stopped the trial early because it was so much, clearly better than ACE inhibitors alone," Grayson said.
Cebollero also questioned why it's taken so long to make this discovery.
Why wasn't this found five years ago?" he asked. It's an indication, he said, of how quickly the medical field is evolving, and how much we still have to learn.
"It just goes to show that there's so much more that can happen in medicine that we're not even to the pinnacle, I think, of what we do," Cebollero said.
In The Clinical Issue, they tackle the need for improvements to clinical education, especially when it comes to handling pediatric patients.
"When we deal with sick kids, it's that infrequency in the amount of time we spend preparing to take care of this special population that really leads to the trepidation of how we deal with pediatric patients," Cebollero said.
Grayson said there needs to be better pediatric education, but it's a challenge to find quality classes that are affordable. Cebollero argues that although children aren't considered 'little adults,' the approach isn't all that different.
Grayson disagreed.
"You have to work from a different mindset," he said.
Handling calls involving children requires different tools, including the Handtevy pediatric system — a complete, portable pediatric resuscitation and drug dosing system that allows healthcare providers to run a pediatric code from start to finish.
Grayson also talks about a group called Kilted to Kick Cancer, a group that looks to bring awareness to prostate cancer in men.
Here are links to some of the articles and other items mentioned on the show:

– Updated on 2nd July 2017 – The legislation expanding the eligibility age to 35 has been repealed as at today. For now the age limit is still at 30. We are waiting for the Australian government to provide more information. We will keep you updated as soon as any news comes to hand.
After the backpacker tax saga and the tax increase on superannuation, here are finally some good news for people wishing to work and travel in Australia (417 & 462 Visas). The Australian government has confirmed on 27 June that the age of eligibility for Working Holiday Visa Makers should increase from 30 to 35 years from 1 July 2017! We are still waiting for the approval of partner countries for the application of this agreement.
Age limit changes for the Australian Working Holiday visa
This is great news for travellers over 30 years old! Indeed, the age eligibility for applying for an Australian Working Holiday Visa should expand to 35 years from 1 July 2017! Until now, the age limit was set at 30 years and the visa requirement for the 30-35 year-old has been debated for a long time. The Australian immigration website hasn't updated their content yet, still showing the following message:
But according to an official document gathering all the Australian legislations, this new law should apply from 1 July 2017. However, please note that we are still waiting for partner countries (such as UK, Ireland, Germany, France etc) to give their approval to amend the bilateral Working Holiday Maker agreement expanding the eligibility age to 35.
If this is confirmed, this would mean that people currently on a Working Holiday Visa in Australia (subclass 417 or 462) and over 30 years old, will be eligible to apply for a second year visa (by completing 88 days of eligible work in regional areas).
The Federal Register of Legislation confirms this new rule and its application as of 1 July 2017. We invite you to read the regulations and more specifically Schedule 9-Changes to age limits For working holiday maker visas.
This information should be confirmed and further explained in the coming days.
We are now waiting for the immigration website to update their content. We will keep you informed in the next few days, so stay tuned!

What You'll Get
The Deal
- $75 for a complete tuxedo rental ($190 value)
The Tuxedo: Formal Fashion
Whether he buys it, rents it, or gets strapped into it by a power-hungry tailor, chances are every man will wear a tuxedo at some point in his life. When it comes to black-tie apparel, it's the subtle details that set a suit apart. Read on to learn about the fashionable options of black tie.
The Jacket: The classic jacket is single-breasted with silk-faced lapels, of which there are three types. Notched lapels can flatter a slimmer frame, but the style is generally frowned upon for evening wear, since the look can come across as a bit too businesslike. Peaked lapels—in which the notch forms a "V" shape—are almost always a smart choice, offering an eternally fashion-forward look that's serious but not somber. The continuous curve of shawl lapels (think Sean Connery as James Bond) are probably the most daring option, a dashing effect often emphasized with a flashy color palette.
The Tie: A tuxedo is probably the safest situation to rock a bowtie, but even then it's easy to misstep. Consider the color, for instance. Formal situations demand a black tie, while looser events may allow for white or—if the evening's more carnival than opera—bright colors. Bowties aren't always the accessory of choice, however. A nice necktie can often help balance the formal appearance.
The Cummerbund: Without something covering the lower torso, a bowtie can seem adrift and alone. Enter the cummerbund, the wide, pleated belt that sits just above the waistline. Cummerbunds should always be worn with the pleats facing up. (Why? Traditional wisdom says that the pleats are meant to catch crumbs, but the real reason is more dignified: men used to hold their opera tickets in the folds.) Other alternatives may include a waistcoat or vest, but in every case, the purpose is to conceal the section of the tuxedo shirt that lies just above the trousers.
The Trousers: Traditional tuxedo pants have neither cuffs nor belt loops, instead finding support in a pair of classic suspenders. Probably the most distinctive feature of tuxedo pants is the single braid of silk—or whatever material matches the lapels—running along the outer seams.
The Shoes: Patent leather used to be the one and only option for black-tie occasions, but standards have changed. Shoes can either be shiny or matte, oxfords or opera slippers, comfortable or made of solid obsidian. The choice is yours. One detail is non-negotiable, however: they must be black.
