bigeminy - is a certain form of arrhythmia characterized by premature excitation of the heart (extrasystoles) that appear after each normal heart beat. Thus, alternate cycles extrasystolic sinus and in a ratio of 1: 1.It is noted equal interval clutches.As a rule, such arrhythmia as bigeminy doctors mean ventricular or supraventricular (supraventricular) extrasystole.In this case, premature excitation of the heart is an extraordinary heart rate, which can be recorded on an electrocardiogram.
Extrasystoles healthy people make up almost 55 cuts per hour.In those moments when the beats normally characterized by alternating contractions with extraordinary cuts, especially if it is recorded on the electrocardiogram is very often, then it is considered a form bigeminy.
In addition, for this type of allodromy very difficult to determine its prognostic value of Holter monitoring without or during the day, as bigeminy for twenty-four hours can both appear and disappear.If this condition la
Ventricular bigeminy
This form of arrhythmia characterized by regular alternation of single flowing normally complex with a ventricular arrhythmia, which is a kind allodromy.This marked a premature excitation from the right side of the heart, that is, from the ventricle.Supraventricular bigeminy is correct rhythmic alternating one heartbeat and one arrythmia.
digitalis intoxication is often manifested by symptoms such as ventricular bigeminy.In addition, there are frequent PVCs or at the time of the therapeutic treatment of digitalis overdose of these drugs or their sensitivity to toxic effects.
Ventricular bigeminy, especially in the form of group or politopnye extrasystoles indicates expression of the intoxication after the drug digitalis.As a rule, it would be dangerous to their transition to ventricular fibrillation.
Quite often, this type of arrhythmia occurs in patients with diseases of the SSSthe appointment of procainamide, Epinephrine, Novocain, quinidine.In addition, ventricular bigemini may occur after the application of certain types of anesthesia such as cyclopropane, chloroform and others. In some instances, this pathological condition develops as a consequence of treatment with electric pulses or by applying electrical stimulation of the heart.Also postkonversionny period often characterized by atrial and ventricular arrhythmia, paroxysmal VT et al., Which develop as a result of the damaging effect of current.
Causes of ventricular bigeminy may make severe poisoning by organophosphorus compounds occurring during the acute intoxication, as well as various violations of electrolyte balance in the myocardium, heart surgery, cardiac sensing cavities koronagrafiya other reasons.
symptomatic picture of ventricular bigeminy can proceed without feeling arrhythmia, although sometimes it is determined by the unevenness or intermittent pulse of the heart.It is noted the faint hearted push and punch followed by several more.In some cases, patients do not feel this bounce, and then it seems that the filling pulse is very weak, but in fact remain normal heart rate and amount of 60-80 beats per minute.As a rule, a state in the form of imaginary bradycardia, is not always possible to feel the pulse of the peripheral vessels.
bigeminy reasons
The formation of this form of arrhythmia directly affected by the condition of the autonomic and central nervous system.
Underlying all causes bigeminy are changes in cardiac muscle of organic origin.It is also important to consider that even the most minor infractions in the myocardium during concomitant factors functional nature, especially with the effects of nerve extracardiac origin may be the cause of ectopic excitation center.
Moreover, against the background of the various forms of coronary heart disease can be a cause of bigeminy changes in the heart muscle or organic disorders of the heart when joining functional precipitating factors.For example, bigeminy observed in 80% of patients with a heart attack, with one of the most common disorders of the rhythm is ventricular bigeminy.And sometimes these beats lead to early to show signs of a lack of work coronary vessels.Often ventricular bigeminy provokes an attack of angina.Also, we have shown that frequently occurring forms of arrhythmia, especially after a heart attack, can become a cause of poor prognosis, becausesignificantly increases the risk of sudden death due to ventricular fibrillation.
bigeminy detected in patients in the presence of acquired rheumatic heart diseases, especially aortic stenosis and mitral valve prolapse.But the main cause of bigeminy organic genesis of the younger generation is the presence of rheumatic fever.
addition, bigeminy can be caused by myocarditis, infection and cardiomyopathy.Several less occurrence of this type of arrhythmia contributes to hyperthyroidism.
bigeminy symptoms
For bigeminy characterized by subjective symptoms such as feeling the impact in the field of heart, faults or heart stop for a short time.Is rarely given the pathological condition manifests itself or cardialgia stenokardialnymi pain, a sense of shock, a very strong compression and filling in the neck area.
Brain symptoms characterized by the appearance of the patient, a pathological condition bigeminy, bouts of dizziness, fainting, aphasia and whirling head.Among the rare form of the symptoms observed transient hemiparesis.
general signs of vegetative and neurotic character is appearing in a patient paleness, weakness, nausea, profuse sweating, anxiety, shortness of breath and some excited.
Typically, when a bigeminy and often appears premature excitation of the heart in patients with heart begins to beat short-lived, it seemed to be compressed, and the blows felt stupid character or flutter of the heart.But the appearance of pain in the heart is extremely rare.But if they arise, appear short pain pierces the property or undefined soreness, which is caused by irritation interoceptors a result of overcrowded at the time of ventricular pauses after early excitement of the heart and should be vigorously reduce it.In typical such feelings is also influenced by the sharp expansion of the processes of the atria due to the fact that at this moment all the chambers of the heart are reduced almost simultaneously.This pain in my heart very often resembles the pain of neurotic origin.
bigeminy sometimes causes a decrease in blood flow in the coronary vessels, particularly in coronary atherosclerosis, so it can be rather reminiscent of the typical symptoms of angina.In addition, while there is a push waves from the heart to the neck or head, which coincides with arrythmia.
bigeminy sometimes characterized by the appearance of dizziness and nausea as a result of reduced blood supply to the brain against the background of frequent extrasystoles.Typically, symptoms bigeminy considered an expression of the autonomic nervous system disorders.
ECG bigeminy is an alternation of cardio intervals and linked postekstrasisiolicheskogo nature, which are determined on rhythmogram alternating elongated and shortened intervals (RR).Bigeminy on scatterogram that continues throughout the recording period, revealed the two points together.A bigeminy episodes are characterized by another type of record.
bigeminy treatment
Basically bigeminy needs no special treatment appointment.To start enough to eliminate triggers psychological and emotional origin, as well as chronic foci of infection.
But in order to make a decision in determining the tactics of drug therapy pay attention to the tolerance of the disease state, the number of premature excitation of the heart chambers during the day, the characteristic of premature beats, the presence of heart disease and other forms of arrhythmia, as bigeminy is not independentDisease.
Typically, after clarification of all causes bigeminy, proceed to the treatment of the underlying disease.As a result of arrhythmia neurogenic genesis prescribe sedatives or anti-anxiety agents, as well as consultation of the neurologist.When poisoning with medication, appearing bigeminy treated cancellation of these drugs.
the presence of cardiac disease may be administered antiarrhythmic drugs after individual inspection by a monitoring Holter.In this case, it can be assigned to drugs such as sotalol, Cordarone, lidocaine, procainamide, quinidine, diltiazem, and others.

Oh, the irony.
Ron Paul, champion of the libertarian movement, has gone to war with his loyal fanbase. They own RonPaul.com. Ron Paul wants it for himself. They made him an offer to sell it back… but it was too much for Ron Paul, so he's suing them.
In the United Nations.
When Paul was interviewed by right-wing radio host Alex Jones in January, he expressed a desire to own RonPaul.com for his own purposes – fair enough. The site was registered by libertarians who support the Texas Republican 13 years ago to an unknown user, and anyone might be wary of their namesake website being in the hands of a crowd of anonymous users.
Here's where it gets weird, and nasty: the owners of the site – who claim to have invested nearly 5 years in building the online community and raised countless dollars for Paul's campaigns – made an offer to give the former congressman the RonPaul.org website for free, and the RonPaul.com domain (along with its 170k-strong mailing list) for… $250k.
The owners of the site think that is a pretty good deal:
The value we put on the deal was $250k; we are getting our mailing list appraised right now but we are confident it is easily worth more than $250k all by itself. Claims that we tried to sell Ron Paul "his name" for $250k or even $800k are completely untrue, and there is little doubt that our mailing list would have enabled Ron Paul to raise several million dollars for the liberty movement this year. It would have been a win/win/win situation for everyone involved.
Paul didn't respond to their offer. Instead, he took their letter straight to the highest authority on internet domain regulation: the United Nations' World Intellectual Property Organization to file a long complaint in which Paul's legal team accused the owners of the domains of acting in "bad faith" and assessing the total value of all their offers at a mere $50,000.
As you can imagine, his fans are absolutely dismayed:
Back in 2007 we put our lives on hold for you, Ron, and we invested close to 10,000 hours of tears, sweat and hard work into this site at great personal sacrifice … Now that your campaigns are over and you no longer need us, you want to take it all away – and send us off to a UN tribunal?
That's not cool! We want our old pre-retirement Ron Paul back!
While the respondents have 21 days to lawyer up, the damage done to the relationship between Paul and his fans might be too much to be undone – especially if Paul pursues the suit.
Ron's still up to what he's best at:
Is Ron "attacking his own supporters" by his action? Apparently, the RP.com people have never given a dime to any of his campaigns nor educational efforts, despite promises to do so from the sale of memorabilia. Instead, they are attacking Ron, in part for being anti-militarist. Some supporters. But it will not work. And it will soon be over, freeing Ron from this distraction as he steps up his fight for freedom. Really steps it up, in historic ways.
What is to say that Ron Paul even knows anything about this?
Ron Paul is no rich man
which his "supporters" payed less than 100 dollars to register, and now demand 250000 dollars to let him have.
Such actions are quite commonly used to gain a quick buck by the domain hogs.
he even payed back what he didn´t use from his federal salary to the federal govenment
250k is alot to him, just a common man and a representative of the people in all things.

I am creating this blog as a means of promoting my custom wedding cake toppers...YourTops.
It will be about weddings....more specifically about wedding cake and wedding cake toppers.
Why wedding cake toppers? I have always been attracted to figures. I played with toy soldiers and cowboy figures growing up. I have collected carved wooden French Canadian Habitant figures, Hopi Kachina dolls, German figural glass Christmas tree ornaments and have a large collection of reproduction German style Santa Claus candy containers.
I loved Santa Claus figures so much, I began making them in the late '70's. Soft sculpture figures...sewed their faces with absolutely NO sewing experience...ouch...frustrating and painful. Slowly I becan selling these figures. I began selling German glass Christmas tree ornaments. Soft sculted figures became molded chalkware Santas. I began buying old doll heads and incorporating them into angels and female figures. Molded chalkware Easter rabbits followed. I dabbled in nostalgic holiday greeting cards and novelties.
Then..it dawned on me...weddings were, in a sense, a holiday season! What could I make for weddings? I remembered our own wedding cake topper. It was a music box that played the anniversary waltz. I remember seeing it at the top of our cake...rotating...I will find and post a picture tomorrow!

Peter wrote: Morning thought
Is HI also responsible for waking reality. We could be missing the point in the sense that the outside world is an illusion formed on the inside (we dont see outside of our mind) and in waking life what we see is the same HI but projected outside and sensory input used to create it.
HI seems to be the transition between the mode where we use the sensory inputs to generate the reality onto our internal "screen" and the dream state where we are doing with the sensory inputs shut off. I do believe we are projecting our reality in any case. It's really amazing how accurately we can repoduce what we experience in waking life, whether during the flashes of HI or in a dream. I'm never 100% convinced that what I am experiencing in lucid dreams isn't actually happening in reality. It just messes with my head every time.
Peter wrote:The brain might have no choice but to make the HI as it could be the reality creating process, in the day buy sensory input and create the waking word and without visual stimulation from option 2, using random recalled stored thought to just have a go.
I think our brains are always projecting onto our reality screens, it goes into other modes too. But it doesn't need any inputs from senses to create reality. I mentioned it before, but I had an HI experience where I watched this goup of soldiers in a WWII scene get blown up while inside a bombed-out building with no roof, then the same thing in but in reverse, beginning from the end, then over in slow motion. I can't imagine where that came from but it was very impressive quality.
I wonder if there is some other source of information outside of our stored memories. Possibly events create some kind of impression on some unknown media that we have a way of reading or just tune in somehow.
Just a crazy idea, although I've had my coffee already and unfortunately, can not watch the sea without driving 150 kilometers (P.S. I was looking for a little face for "jealous" but couldn't find one.)

Mediocre Fight of the Day: Julian vs Nerdiness
Well now that we're done with album stuff for the most part, I'd say it's time to bring back the Mediocre Fights of the Day! And today's fight is another one that's about someone you probably don't know. Don't like it? Start your own blog! I hear "The Mediocre Flight" is available as a blog name, and we've already given you some free promotion!
Here's the subject of today's Mediocre Fight.
This is Julian. Julian's what's known as in the entertainment biz as "A good looking dude."
I can't name a single female friend of mine who doesn't want a slice of that action. Wait, I've got a better one… I can't name a single female friend of mine who does't want a hot cup of Mocha. Mmm, mocha. Brb, now I want coffee.
Okay I'm back, and let me just say this cup of Peppermint Mocha from the cafe next door is quite delicious! Okay where was I…. Oh yeah! So Julian's a good looking dude. He's a funny, charming guy who plays basketball and can actually dance.
Also, he's got some kind of rare disease where he's born with extra abdominal muscles. At least, I can only assume it's a rare disease because he's got roughly an 8-10 pack. Anyways before this gets weird let me continue with my story.
I met Julian in college, which is where I discovered that this guy is one huge nerd. We used to live in an apartment with 3 other guys, and our rooms had an adjoining bathroom between them. We used to have weekend-long gaming sessions where we would lock the door to the hallway so we couldn't be disturbed, and then switch off which room we were playing videogames in. I think the weekend I saw Julian the happiest was when he moved his TV and gaming system so he could game from his bed. So yeah, you definitely wouldn't know it when you first met him but dude's a nerd.
That's not why I'm making this Mediocre Fight, though. Lots of surprising people can turn out to be nerds. Hell, Mila Kunis plays World of Warcraft. Don't believe me? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI8WT3lVe80 Yeaaaah, I'd marry her in a heartbeat.
No, the reason I'm making the fight today is because Julian was able to actually shock me with his level of nerdiness. A few months ago he called me up and said "Hey man, do you want to come with me to go get my Magic cards appraised?" Yeah, Magic: The Gathering. Apparently he had been doing research online and had like thousands of dollars worth of cards. Which surprised the hell out of me, because I actually collected Magic cards too when I was a kid and definitely didn't have any super rare cards. In fact, last time I was back home visiting my parents I dug up my card collection. Which fits nicely in one small little binder, pictured here.
So I tell him sure, and later that day go meet him so we can head out to a comic shop in the suburbs. Now, this is about the time I start to realize that his level of nerdiness eclipses mine. When I get to his apartment, he's got a color coded sheet of paper in his hand. Apparently he made an excel spreadsheet with the price of every one of his cards, broken out by the condition of the card. Giggling, I snapped some photos for proof.
And that's when he asked me "Which box do you want to grab?" Remember that little binderI showed you, which contains all of my cards? Julian has entire BOXES full of cards. Again, while giggling, I had to document this.
After I was able to compose myself, we were off to Niles, IL. At this point the number of photographs I took tapers off dramatically, because for the rest of the day I was basically stunned. It takes us a while to find the comic shop because it basically looks like an empty storefront. Julian starts to become concerned that he's being lured into a trap and we'll be jumped as soon as we walk into this sketchy "comic shop," but we figure they're probably also nerds and we'd be able to take them.
We walk into the tiny shop in the corner of the strip mall, and immediately stop. Expecting a tiny shop, we're faced with a giant warehouse filled with row upon row of tables filled with other nerds playing Magic: The Gathering. We look at each other, and you can tell that while we both feel unclean, somehow this also feels *right*. That feeling quickly subsides as our situation starts to sink in. We're in the suburbs, in a warehouse/comic shop, where they're holding a tournament for people playing Magic: The Gathering, while holding boxes full of cards. For the next 10 minutes while we wait for someone to take a look at Julian's cards we both just keep repeating in various ways "This is the nerdiest thing I have ever done in my life."
Shortly the store manager comes and sits down with us. The guy looks EXACTLY like the Comic Book Store guy from The Simpsons, but he's sitting right next to me so I couldn't take pictures of him. Instead, I took a picture of Julian waiting patiently to talk shop.
Until this point I was able to handle the extreme nerdiness of the day because there was a sense of "Alright, we're in this together." That feeling quickly turned into "I don't belong here" as soon as Julian and the manager started talking. Most of their conversation went over my head because everything they were saying sounded like gibberish. "Oh yeah, I'm just missing the Crankshaft of Embiggening from my Super Obscure set. Oh, the Everlasting Virginity? Yeah man, that was the last card I needed for my set. Oh weird, what's this set of Star Wars cards doing in here." It was the most surreal thing I have ever witnessed, and I don't think I can ever look at Julian the same way.
Julian still hasn't actually sold the cards yet, so now we're planning a road trip to Seattle to visit a bigger comic shop. Apparently there's a bar in the basement, so while Julian nerds out I can drink away the awkwardness.
As always, if YOU have a mediocre fight you'd like to see contact us any way your little heart desires. Leave a comment here, tweet us @MediocreFight, find us on Facebook, shoot us an e-mail at The Mediocre Fight, or have a friend who is too nerdy for words. Although I guess this isn't too nerdy for words if I just wrote 1000 words on the subject….

Fancy Birdhouse is Camouflage for Security Cameras
Neatorama reader Rich B., who is on a 100-day driving trip across the US, sent in some photos of fancy schmancy birdhouses in Congress Park, Saratoga Springs, New York. Upon closer inspection, you can see that they have security cameras underneath!

Hey, I grew up across the street from congress park! I remember when I was in junior high my best friend and I went in to city hall and accosted one of the commissioners because we'd heard a rumor that they were going to put cameras in the park. He assured us that that was a silly notion, and they'd never put cameras in the park. 6 months later those things went up. No one was fooled.

Taylor Swift Scored a Billboard Chart Milestone With 1989
She's one of two women to have multiple albums reach ten weeks in the No. 1 slot.
For the tenth nonconsecutive week on Billboard's 200 chart, Taylor Swift's 1989 has surged to No. 1. The site underlines that Swift's the second woman in history to have multiple albums reach ten weeks at the top. T. Swift joins Whitney Houston, who notched the milestone with three albums: her eponymous debut (1986), Whitney (1987), and The Bodyguard soundtrack (1992–93). Swift's other double-digit album was Fearless, which reigned as No. 1 for 11 weeks from 2008–09. Swift nailed the feat after tallying 71,000 1989 sales last week — a figure that's not particularly high for a No. 1 contender, which is usually in the six-figure ballpark. (But — calm down — it was enough for history.) The other musicians in this elite chart club include the Beatles (with four albums), the Kingston Trio (three), Elvis Presley (three), Henry Mancini (two), and the Monkees (two). Judging by her tweet this morning, Swift is either brushing aside the news, bumping "Backseat Freestyle," playing with her adorable kittens, or continuing her plot for further chart domination. Or maybe all of the above, because life's a beach and she's a tsunami.

When your approval ratings are low, just point to the guy that people seem to hate even more than you. But yet, don't extend your index finger; keep all your fingers bent tightly inward, and jab quickly in the direction of said person's face. If you make contact, that's great; there will be no misunderstanding as to who you're referring to.
People fall for this kind of thing all the time, especially the other guy. So it's a great method of deflection as demonstrated by our Commander in Chief, President Barack The Rock Obama, in this Onion News segment as he met with innocent, doe-eyed investment banker Ron Milner.
After punching Milner in the face, Obama's ratings soared from a meager 41% to a monstrous 93%. Like we said, just "point" at the guy that people seem to hate more than you. Point, punch, punch, point, whatever. It's all the same just with a one less finger and little more chootspah (thank you, Mrs. Bachmann).
Obama later released a statement about the unprovoked, cheap-shot:
Sometimes you see someone and you just know that you wouldn't be able to forgive yourself if you didn't knock his teeth halfway down his throat. I don't feel compelled to apologize.
Now if we could only channel that chootspah. Hmm…

Comments about Mark Ford
Twenty Twenty Vision
Unwinding in a cavernous bodega he suddenly
Burst out:--Barman, these tumblers empty themselves
And yet I persist; I am wedged in the giant eye
Of an invisible needle. Walking through doors
Or into them, listening to anecdotes or myself spinning
A yarn, I realize my doom is never to forget
My lost bearings. In medias res we begin
And end: I was born, and then my body unfurled
As if to illustrate a few tiny but effective words--

Forth, stupefied, from the bushes as the sun set
Behind distant hills. A pair of hungry ...

Gov. McCrory: 'One of worst storms in decades'
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory said the winter storm that hit North Carolina Wednesday is one of the worst in decades.
McCrory told WSOC the roads are the main concern and said that the Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham area both got hit hard with the storm.
The governor said state officials will monitor the conditions throughout the night.
"We're now seeing what we have been warning people about for the past 24 hours. This storm is dangerous," Gov. Pat McCrory said earlier Wednesday. "Road conditions are treacherous in many areas. We can't stress enough: stay tuned to local media and pay attention to the weather. Do not travel unless it is an emergency. You are better off staying where you are in a safe place than getting on the road."
Between midnight and 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Highway Patrol troopers responded to 1,360 calls for service across the state. Troopers typically respond to approximately 800 calls daily.
By 3:30 p.m., the utilities reported about 101,600 power outages statewide, mostly in New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus and Pender counties. More power outages are expected over the next few days as conditions continue to deteriorate.
The North Carolina National Guard now has about 170 guardsmen with Humvees co-located with local emergency managers to help rescue crews responding to calls. A number of these have been paired with troopers to respond to accident and stranded motorists.
Ten shelters are open in nine counties, with others prepared to open as needed. So far, shelters have opened in Cumberland, Haywood, Iredell, Johnson (two shelters open), Mecklenburg, Moore, Polk, Richmond and Scotland counties.
Local Emergency Operations Centers are open in 37 counties to respond to storm requests for additional supplies and resources.
McCrory declared a State of Emergency on Tuesday, enabling him to mobilize the necessary resources to respond to the storm. It also is the first step in seeking federal funds to help defray the cost of providing emergency services, clearing debris and repairing any damaged public infrastructure. The declaration is executed under the Emergency Management Act. Forty-three counties have declared local States of Emergency in response to the storm.
NCDOT encourages motorists to get the latest information on road conditions by calling 511, visiting the department's real-time travel information website and following NCDOT's Twitter accounts.
You can find current weather and road conditions on the free ReadyNC mobile app. Traffic conditions can be found on http://www.ncdot.gov.
Motorists are reminded NOT to call 911 or the State Highway Patrol Communication Centers for roadway conditions; those lines must remain clear for emergency calls.
If you encounter slick road conditions, the North Carolina Highway Patrol recommends the following:
· Reduce your speed.
· Leave plenty of room between you and other vehicles.
· Use extra caution on bridges and overpasses which accumulate ice first.
· If you begin to slide, take your foot off the gas and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slide.
· Do not apply the brakes as that will cause further loss of control of the car.

On September 2, 2016, a SpaceX rocket carrying a Facebook satellite exploded during fueling. The satellite it was carrying was intended to be used for distributing internet access to Africa as well as Europe and the Middle East.
What does this mean for the future of SpaceX? The company has been making strides to increase their space capabilities, and confidently churning ahead despite several past incidents.
Earlier in 2015, SpaceX's Falcon-9 Dragon CRS-7 exploded. The company has also been attempting to perfect their reusable rockets, where they've reached several roadblocks (see below for an attempted relanding which failed):
Video: YouTube
The recent crash caused Elon Musk, CEO of both Tesla and SolarCity, to lose $390M of his personal fortune. Mark Zuckerberg also had something to say regarding the incident: 'As I'm here in Africa, I'm deeply disappointed to hear that SpaceX's launch failure destroyed our satellite that would have provided connectivity to so many entrepreneurs and everyone else across the continent,' Zuckerberg wrote.
Despite all of the hurdles, many still believe SpaceX to be a company that is pioneering the future of space travel and exploration. Below is a video of a successful rocket landing:

Talking to kids about drug addiction
Talking to children about drug addiction
The best cure for addiction is prevention. And the best way to prevent an addiction from occurring is by talking to your kids about drug use. It's better to talk to your children before there is a problem. The hope is that you can stop addiction problems from developing rather finding yourself say, "My kids is using drugs! What do I do?" By talking it out early, you can avoid the pain of teenage drug use intervention with your child later on.
While re-counting your own drug misadventures may not be the ticket, being clear about where you stand on drugs will open up a dialogue with your children. Here are some additional tips on how to talk to kids about drug addiction.
How to talk to kids about drug addiction
1. Talk about the therapeutic benefits of drugs, especially prescription drugs.
First off, kids should know that drugs are not bad. They need to realize that a lot of drugs actually help people but it's how certain people use drugs that are bad. Although injuries and sickness are terrible things, if you or someone else your kids are around a lot happens to get injured or sick and needs to take medicine, that is a great opportunity to talk to young kids about what it is you're taking, how you're taking it and why.
2. Point out consequences of long term drug use.
Drug use has consequences and it's these consequences that should be pointed out. If you are sick and you properly take drugs that have been prescribed to you, the consequences are that you'll probably get better. But if you use drugs irresponsibly, the consequences are things like addiction, jail or even worse. It's also an opportune time to bring up the way some people take medicine or other substances when they don't need to and that is bad because doing that has seriously negative consequences.
3. Explain the course of addiction.
It's also important for children to know that addiction is a sickness. Do some reading on drug dependence, addiction, and recovery. Education is key to prevention, so read up on how drug affect the brain and central nervous system. When you are well informed, you can pass on information to your child.
4. Allow your child to see real life examples of addiction.
Fortunately, reality has ways to illustrate these negative consequences. Speak with someone in addiction recovery and have them share their story with your child, or with a group of close friends. Addiction to drugs or alcohol is not pretty. They'll remember the real person and real consequences of drug abuse when someone offers them drugs or alcohol and hopefully their sense of self-preservation kicks in. The point is to take advantage of these real-life teaching situations instead of just shying away from them in horror as you cover your child's eyes.
5. Bring it home to their own compulsions.
You don't even need actual drugs in the equation to talk about addiction. It's not like drugs and alcohol are the only things people get addicted to. Children nowadays play a ton of video games and are online a lot, at times almost to the point of being an addiction. You can use these addiction-like behaviors as learning tools as much as drugs or alcohol because they, too, have negative consequences like becoming unhealthy or not making friends.
It will help to open their eyes to the fact that addiction doesn't necessarily have to do with drugs and alcohol. It's possible to become addicted to anything and it's possible for anything to cause negative consequences in your life if you let it.
Other ways to speak with kids about drug addiction
These are just a few examples of how you can use things happening in your own life and environment to talk to your kids about addiction. It's something that every parent should be doing. Think about it this way; drug and alcohol addiction is akin to sex; your kids are learning about it in school (both formally and informally) but do you want a bunch of strangers or the internet to be your kids' main source of information on the subject? Probably not.
Share your own ideas and experiences in the comments section about talking with your kids about addiction. How do you or did you do it and did it work?

Brilliant article.
I really liked how you mentioned relating i addiction to something the kids already understand like video games. I think it would really bridge the gap by relating it back to their everyday worlds an experiences.
Another is to maybe show them stars that have suffered from addiction and how it effected their lives and family.
I have 2 kids… 6&7 and am a recovering addict. I've always wondered if I should tell them. I realize now is a bit early, but… When? Or is it even appropriate to have it THAT close? They knew me as an addict and saw me go through recovery, but we were very vague about it.
Hi Sara. This article might help you think about your decision to disclose. In general, it may be a discussion you wait to have with your grown up, adult children.

A state judge Thursday heard 2 1/2 hours of lawyers' arguments over the authority of Mandeville's Zoning Board to deny a special permit last October for Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church to build a new, bigger church. But for all the talk and legal wrangling, there was no resolution to the issue; state District Judge William Crain thanked attorneys for the detailed arguments they presented, but he took the matter under study.
"You've spent months compiling a voluminous record of evidence and briefs," he told them with a grin. "I think I deserve a little time with it myself."
The church is appealing the Zoning Board's denial of a permit to build a $13 million, 16,715-square-foot Gothic Revival church on the other side of Lafitte Street from the existing church in old Mandeville. Supporters said the existing 465-seat church is too small to accommodate the weekend crowds attending Masses, which forces most worshippers into the nearby Chotin Center, a multipurpose building that houses the school's gym. The proposed new church would seat 1,028 people.
The proposal courted controversy from the start, and over the course of several well-attended public hearings last year, Zoning Board members heard from numerous old Mandeville residents worried that the size of the new structure would hamper drainage, dwarf the surrounding neighborhood and exacerbate the area's parking and traffic headaches.
Arguing that the church met all the legal requirements in the city's various zoning ordinances, attorneys for the church said the board essentially did not have the discretion to refuse the permit. Because it deviated from the proper procedure, the Zoning Board's decision was "arbitrary and capricious" and should be struck down, church attorney Howard Sinor told Crain.
Sinor said the power to enact criteria on which such permit decisions should be made rests with the City Council, "not in the minds of an unelected zoning board."
But Lloyd "Sonny" Shields, representing the Zoning Board, said the church's arguments don't hold water.
What would be the point of having a Zoning Board, he asked Crain, "if that board didn't have any power?" Reading from the city's Comprehensive Land Use Regulations Ordinance (more informally known as the "CLURO"), Shields pointed out numerous areas that he said evidenced the board's discretion.
Shields also argued that Our Lady of the Lake's statements that it would no longer use the Chotin Center and existing church for Mass once the new church opens were disingenuous. He said even that if it's built, the new church doesn't offer enough seating to accommodate the heaviest crowds.
"The history of OLL is that it will move into whatever it can move into," Shields told Crain, noting that it has violated its 1999 permit to build the Chotin Center that said the center was to be used for Mass only during special occasions.
Sinor bristled at that, telling Crain the 1999 permit issue serves only as evidence as to how the board "stretched" to justify its permit denial last October. He said the permit for the Chotin Center does not limit its use for Mass only to special occasions.
He offered a resolution to Crain: Grant the zoning permit for the new church and OLL will vow not to use the Chotin Center or existing church during weekend religious activities. Further, it will use the existing church only for school activities, he said.
The attorneys also sparred over interpretations of whether the church proposal met the required number of parking spots. Shay Kulkarni, working with Shields, put the minimum number at 410 spaces.
But Joe Chautin, a parishioner and church attorney, argued that the board was overcalculating the number because it factored in church and school use, when the new church's heaviest usage will be on weekends, when school is out. Chautin said the church proposal includes 385 spaces, more than the required amount.

Selling Nigerian Dwarf Goats and Kikos in Kansas since 2012.
Hello, I'm Alex Becker, partner in B B Goats. My parents, sister, and I are raising Nigerian Dwarf Goats and Kikos for meat, milk, and pets. We live near El Dorado, Kansas on a small farm of sorts. Our goat herd is small relative to most you will find as far as meat goats. With that in mind the goats we sell are friendly in general and easier to handle. We don't tolerate mean tempered does or bucks who are hard to handle and don't allow any kids to be raised in such a way that they become dangerous. This is important to us especially with the Kikos who have long, spiraling horns.
We also have horses, at this moment we have two quarter horses, a paint mare, and a welsh cross pony. My sister, Mandi, and I both participate in 4-H and are more than willing to answer questions you may have about goats. If we don't have the answer right off, we will reference you to someone who does or help find the answers.
Please look around and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Allison Crowe Drives to New Lands: "Heavy Graces" Tour on Deck
Posted by AllisonCrowe | Filed under Artist News, British Columbia, Canada, Concerts, Europe, Leonard Cohen, Live Music, Movie, Music, Newfoundland, Photography, Remembrance, Tours, Uncategorized, ballet, blog, dance, guitar, love, piano, poetry, radio, remix, television, theatre, video
She comes from a land of ice and snow. Some years more-so than others. And, like such phenomena, Allison Crowe's preternatural talent, and her peerless body of music, is marked by a pure, crystalline, uniqueness.
"How can someone so small and young have such a big voice and write such heavy duty songs?," legendary West-coast Canada musician and publisher Barry Newman found himself wondering upon discovering a teen-aged Crowe on a Vancouver Island stage in the year 2000. For a cover feature in Cosmic Debris, (the magazine he founded), Newman observed: "The inflections in her piano stylings were so mature too… there was a blues edge in there."
"The first thing you notice about Allison Crowe is her voice. Rich and dark, it seems to come from a place most singers can only dream of accessing. Then there are the songs. Filled with raw passion and accompanied by eloquent piano playing," notes Clodagh O'Connell, (The Courier, Rolling Stone+), in a maiden review of Crowe's voyage to new lands.
Cultural critic for The Times Colonist newspaper in Victoria, BC, Adrian Chamberlain, also caught the artist in her early concert rounds: "(Listening to) Crowe is akin to sipping the richest of brandies." The writer, himself a funk soul musician, explained: "Crowe's singing is tremendously powerful; almost operatic. When she digs into a sustained note, as she so often does, the voice is huge, rounded, with a dark timbre."
The amazing sound crossed the main. Before long UK music maven Dave Henderson, (MOJO, Q and Kerrang!+), was tipping MOJO mag's audience to this siren from o'er the sea: "Once famously described as possessing a style akin to 'Elton John meets Edith Piaf', the Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe is renowned for her ability to blend control and melodrama."
Moving deeper into this century, the musician's voice is ever more complex – striking on its own and, most frequently, accompanied by 88 hammers of the gods in the hands of a virtuoso. "You really have to see Allison Crowe live. The way she splits those notes, it's like light through a prism – all the colours of a song," says Canadian radio and television veteran Rick Dennis.
Eight years back, Crowe migrated from her island birth-place of Nanaimo, BC, on the Pacific Ocean, to Corner Brook, nestled on another lovely isle, Newfoundland – near the Viking Trail on Atlantic shores. Acoustic guitar, fiddle and tin-whistle now figure alongside voice and piano in her musical palette – creating rock, folk, jazz, roots, country, Celtic and more thrills. Her newest recording, (released globally April 28), is an addictive variant of a centuries-old song of the seacoast, "Tarry Trousers".
"Weirdly typical" is how BC dean of Canuck rock writers, Tom Harrison, describes a new album from Allison Crowe – and that legend is key to any map of her course. She presents bi-coastal "Tidings" concerts each Christmas season in her homeland. These past two years Crowe's focused on: recording (four acclaimed albums – "Tidings Concert", "Newfoundland Vinyl", "Heavy Graces", and "Songbook"); dance (performing songs of Leonard Cohen on-stage with Canada's brilliant Royal Winnipeg Ballet); theatre (musically directing Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador's rollicking hit show, "Newfoundland Vinyl"); and film projects – one recording riveting in the trailer for a major indie motion picture ("The Pardon"), and cameoing, pretty much as herself, in "Man of Steel"- a #1 box-office Superman movie among the decade's biggest Hollywood blockbusters.
Steering well clear of the corporate record industry's shallows, Crowe's integrity is as steadfast as her sound is remarkable – a double-helix of traits akin to the DNA of previous generations' mavericks. "I'm a big Johnny Cash fan. And I'm a big Allison Crowe fan. So the combination to me seemed like an awesome opportunity if we could make it happen," explains "Man of Steel" Director Zack Snyder. "Allison and I had talked about trying to get some of her music in one of my movies whenever we could – and I thought, well, if I just put her in the film then there's no way that it won't work. So, that's where you get Allison from."
Allison Crowe's "Heavy Graces" Tour reaches Europe this May
For her next act, Allison Crowe returns to the international concert stage this May – with eight concerts upcoming in Europe: Bernau (03.05); Frankfurt (07.05); Freiburg (11.05); Neunkirchen (13.05); Inning (15.05); Florence (17.05); Münster (20.05); and Potsdam (22.05). The opening concert on this "Heavy Graces" tour quickly sold out – Ausverkaft! Full event calendar @ http://allisoncrowe.com/tour.html
For most of these dates, Crowe's joined by special guest artist, and super-simpatico tour partner, Billie Woods http://www.facebook.com/billiewoodsmusic Woods' distinctive vocal and nylon-string guitar style is rooted in Canada's Pacific Northwest and infused with the warmth and vitality of cultural rhythms of Brazil. From home-base on Salt Spring Island, BC, in "Canada's banana belt", she's blended a life of passions – principally music and photography.
Crowe's Road/Stage manager, Axel Dollheiser, hails from Bavaria and Salt Spring. popTrip Entertainment, (currently moving headquarters from Berlin, Germany to Toronto, Canada), is booking agent.
Toronto-based author and visual artist Lorette C. Luzajic concludes: "Not everyone can bring down the divine, not everyone can be vast and mythological or bring the gifts of the gods into a winter's night. But Allison Crowe channels the spirit each and every time."

Tarry Trousers
Posted by AllisonCrowe | Filed under Artist News, British Columbia, Canada, Concerts, Europe, Live Music, Music, Newfoundland, Photography, Tours, Uncategorized, blog, guitar, love, poetry, theatre, video, voice
Canada's Allison Crowe here performs "Tarry Trousers" – an addictively lovely version of a traditional tune with history on both sides of the Atlantic since the 1800s.
"Tarry Trousers" is one of the songs she's arranged and curated for inclusion in this Summer's Gros Morne Theatre Festival line-up – and the third incarnation of a rollicking hit show, "Newfoundland Vinyl", conceived by Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador's Artistic Director Jeff Pitcher.
TNL produces GMTF, an annual festival situated in a supremely gorgeous location, Cow Head, NL — Gros Morne National Park (an UNESCO world heritage site on the isle of Newfoundland's west coast).
TNL's latest newsletter contains info on the upcoming Gros Morne Theatre Festival and TNL's Youth Theatre productions. Here, it describes the show musically directed by Allison Crowe and brought to life by the fabulous and fun cast that performs in 2014:
"Newfoundland Vinyl" is back! And this time it's "The 'C' Side". Allison Crowe has made this show into a perennial Festival favourite. The vinyl Newfoundland hits of the 1960's, 70's and 80's by Newfoundland's biggest recording stars are never – ending. From Harry Hibbs' "The Wild Rover" to Eddy Coffey's "Area Code 709" to Cory & Trina's "Northern Lights of Labrador" Allison manages to lay bare the simple and beautiful melodies and lyrics of our most talented artists, featuring the wonderful talents of Stephanie Payne, Amelia Manuel, Claire Hewlett, Colin Furlong, Marquita Walsh, Craig Haley and Keelan Purchase.
And, of course, Ed!
Allison Crowe's variant of a centuries-old tune, "Tarry Trousers", shines like a diamond bright – and is now added to the cultural treasure chest that is "GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador": http://www.wtv-zone.com/ phyrst/audio/nfld/02/ tarry.htm
Gery Deugaw, GEST's Owner/Archivist writes: "Allison gives traditional songs new life with her beautiful voice and harmonies. The earliest known lyrics to this love ballad were found in the 1848 journal of the whaling vessel Nauticon out of Nantucket, Massachusetts by the captain's wife, Susan Veeder, and is archived at the Nantucket Historical Association Research Library."

DRAMA CLUB: Joseon Gunman Episodes 11-12 (1/2)
Finding ourselves on the downhill side of Joseon Gunman, things are really picking up as court officials are murdered, identities are revealed and big pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place. With so much going on, there's no time to waste so let's get to it!
Can I start off by asking if anyone out there is at all surprised that Choi Won Shin would beat Yoon Kang in their race to learn each other's identity because honestly, I wasn't surprised at all. Being the shrewd, wily and well-connected business man that he is, Choi Won Shin was always the man I put my money on, when it came to uncovering the truth. No offense to Yoon Kang but Won Shin's got home-court advantage here and it has paid off on more than one occasion. That being the case, I have to applaud Yoon Kang for never being more than half a step behind Won Shin. Every time Won Shin seemed to one-up Yoon Kang, he was right there, ready to retaliate which means that we, as the viewers, have a lot to keep up with and this whole tit-for-tat thing is just a small part of a much bigger picture! (Does anyone else's head hurt right now or is it just mine?)
To make things even more interested (albeit a little more difficult to follow) we have all of this political plotting and scheming going on that drives me absolutely batty. I don't understand how the king can keep so many corrupt officials around, especially when he knows they're plotting against him. To me this is one of those no-brainers, when it would just make sense to wipe the whole slate clean and start over with a new set of officials but I suppose that as a just and reasonable king, that's not really an option. (Dang it!) Since disposing of every rotten toad in a place of leadership isn't a viable option, I would think that the king would at least be smart enough to keep the enemies he has managed to kick out, well, out but it would seem I am wrong. I can't believe that the very people that should be celebrating the banishment of Kim Byung Je are the ones pleading with the king to bring him back. Does anyone else think this is a really bad idea or do I just really not have a clue what's going on here? I get that by bringing Byung Je back, he would, in theory, be indebted to the king but this guy doesn't seem to be the type who honors any sort of debt and certainly doesn't seem to be like the type of guy who's going to have a change of heart at the eleventh hour and miraculously save the day. Sorry but this guy is evil to the core and I cannot understand why anyone in their right mind would bring this man back. He's evil and should be banished for life. End of story.
I think what I found most intriguing this week was watching Choi Hye Won finally step up and make her move. I've been waiting for her to drop her innocent front and show her true colors and this week she did, not only to Hye Won but also to Yoon Kang and her father. (Which, for the record, I thought was fantastic!) I'm not quite ready to declare Hye Won the evil second just yet but she certainly has a hit of malice in her which, obviously, she isn't afraid to unleash, just a bit, when she sets her heart on something. I think blackmailing Yoon Kang into giving up Soo In isn't the nicest way to get a guy to stick by your side but it is effective (at least for now). I'm sure there'll come a point when Hye Won will have to decide if she wants to cling to her selfish ambition or give up Yoon Kang for the greater good but for now, she's playing the part of the forceful second very well and by that I mean, I'm not a fan of the way she confronted Yoon Kang and threatened him to give up Soo In or else but I haven't come to hate her... Yet.
So tell me, what are your thoughts on this week's episodes of Joseon Gunman? Was there anything that happened this week that really shocked you? Do you think it's wise for the king to bring back the Second Vice Premier? Will Yoon Kang give into Hye Won's demands or will he ultimately be unable to go against his heart? As always, I'd love to know what you're thinking so be sure to leave me a comment below!

The Shit Piss Fart Woods is 1 of the locations seen in some episodes of Dick Figures. It so far has appeared in 2 episodes & a teaser. It's 1st appearance was in Role Playas, 2nd was in the T-Shirt Teaser & 3rd was in Ballad of Lord Tourettes.
- The Shit Piss Fart Woods also marks the 1st appearance of Lord Tourettes.
- This place is possibly Lord Tourettes' favorite place & home, for in the Shit Piss Fart Woods' 3 appearances, Lord Tourettes shows up in all of them.
- As seen in Role Playas, the woods seem to also have 2 small houses (when Maroon & Cerulean pass them by after Maroon kills Lord Tourettes) & a tower that looks like a man's penis and also where Pinkcess was locked away in.
- It's possible Lord Tourettes might've been the 1 who named the place while in his spazzed out state seeing as how it's quite unusual name for someone to name a woods "Shit Piss Fart".
- It's possibly a fictional location since it has only officially been seen in Role Playas when Red & Blue were playing Dungeons & Dragons.
- In Ballad of Lord Tourettes, it's proven that the place is real.

Learn to let go of your worldly worries during your prayers (salah) and be more mindful before God.
Bassam Saeh
In a modern world of constant distraction, how are we to achieve the communion with the Divine that prayer is supposed to be? Rediscover prayer, with this book filled with short reminders containing practical examples to help readers attain a deeper sense of devotion to Allah
Nouman Ali Khan
Revive Your Heart is a call for spiritual renewal and an invitation to have a conversation with one of the world's most recognisable voices on Islam, Nouman Ali Khan. With his characteristically profound engagement with the language of the Qur'an, the author draws out moving lessons from the verses of Allah's revelation to give the reader insights on how to reorient our lives for success in both this world and the next.
Worship in Islam is an in-depth study of the nature and significance of Islamic spirituality by Abul A'la Mawdudi (1903–79), one of the leading Muslim intellectuals of the twentieth century, with special reference to the concepts of God's Oneness (tawhid), the finality of Prophethood (risalah) and the Islamic system of worship ('ibadah).

An interpretative translation by Shaykh Tosun Bayrak of 'Sirr al-Asrar' by Hadrat Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (1077-1166AD), considered by many to be one of the greatest saints of Islam and the eponymous founder of the Qadiriyya order. This book, appearing in English for the first time, contains the very essence of Sufism, giving a Sufi explanation of how the outward practices of Islam – prayer, fasting, almsgiving and pilgrimage – contain a wealth of inner dimension which must be discovered and enjoyed if external actions are to be performed in a manner pleasing to God. When this is achieved the soul finds true peace and the spiritual life becomes complete
The letters that make up this book are answers to questions about theology addressing such matters as the nature of hell, the suffering of innocents, the miracles of Prophet Muhammad, and the divine purpose of the universe. Written by the author to his students in Turkey after his political exile in 1925.
'Sufi Poems' is a selection of poems from the golden period of Sufism especially chosen and translated from the Arabic by the distinguished scholar Dr Martin Lings. Dr Lings is the author of numerous best-selling works on Sufism and is a published poet in his own right. Including poems here translated for the first time, 'Sufi Poems' brings together selections from the giants of Sufism; for example, Rabia, Hallaj, Ibn al-Farid and Ibn 'Arabi. 'Sufi Poems' is published as a bilingual Arabic-English edition which will be of interest to all those wishing to read the original Arabic and will also be helpful for university students of Arabic
You should pursue God's good pleasure in your actions. If He is pleased with you, even if the whole world is displeased, it is of no consequence. If He approves, it has no effect even if all others reject your ideas or actions. When He is pleased and approves, even if you do not seek the approval of others, should He will it to be so and His Wisdom requires it, He will make other others accept it and be pleased with you. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to aim at God Almightys good pleasure in the service of the Quran and belief
Through the light of the Quran, I saw that both for myself and everyone else this world is a temporary market place set up on the road for the passers-by to shop in, a guest-house which every day filled and emptied…O respected elderly men and women who feel their old age as I do! We are leaving; there is no use in deceiving ourselves. Even if we close our eyes to it, we will not be allowed to remain here. There is mobilisation. The land of the Intermediate Realm of the grave, which appears to us as dark and as the land of eternal separation because of the delusions that arise from heedlessness and in part from the people of misguidance, is the meeting place of friends. It is the realm where we will meet with, foremost, Gods Beloved, upon him be peace and blessings, and with all our friends
The first edition of this book was published in Arabic by the International Institute of Islamic thought in Cairo in 1991. Its introduction was written by His Eminence Shaykh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the President of the World Federation of Muslim Scholars. It was well received by Muslim scholars, psychologists and laymen since it succeeded in integrating Islamic spirituality and theology with modern psychology, linguistics, comparative religion and mental and physical health.

Ten Days InPosted: November 10, 2017 Filed under: 504, General Leave a comment
I have Fridays off. It's a good day to update the blog, and I didn't feel like writing up something just a few days in. So I waited until today.
As alluded to in Prolegomena, I've come up with a list of goals I'm trying to accomplish in the arbitrarily chosen 504 days between November 1, 2017 and March 19, 2019. There are twenty-one goals. You can see (most of) them on the menu bar above.
I'm not beholden to them, as in they have to be accomplished. I mean, I would love to accomplish them. I'm not giving myself permission to not complete them, but rather, I have to keep in mind that I want to do this to make my life better, not to make them my life.
In the last ten days, I have:
– read The Name of the Rose and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.
– made five new plant-based dishes (there will be a blog post in the future)
– gotten back into the habit of swimming during the week
– gone out to a crazy book and beer exchange that was awkward and terrifying and wonderful
– had friends over for dinner which was wonderful
Also, outside of the goals, I also drained B's battery on his car (and had to get it jumped twice!), bought wine for my staff, attended a thanksgiving potluck and ate too much ham, and overall had an all right time. This blog is a work in progress. I, too, am a work in progress.
ProlegomenaPosted: November 1, 2017 Filed under: 504, Uncategorized | Tags: begin again, transform Leave a comment
It was fun, I guess, to go through this blog's archive. In March of 2016–really, April 1, I was going to begin a two year project–called Project 729 for the number of days in said project–of self-improvement. I had plans to get in outstanding shape, become an expert in numerous fields, get my life not only together but to the absolute pinnacle of existence. I made some goals I wanted to keep, and I made some goals I thought would be interesting to readers. I then let it all slide, because I slid into a pretty solid depression.
Well, that's not fair. When I fall into depression, it's a slow burn. A descent of half a degree over a long period. I stopped blogging when I hit bottom, about September of 2016. It was then, too, that I began taking anti-depressants, promising myself and the people I love that this time, I would never go off them. Because of that, some major things in my life changed–I ended a relationship, I let go of some inhibitions and fears about my job and my community, I found my way back on stage, I finished a massive project, and I unexpectedly began a new relationship.
I have left Addison, and I now live in Cedar Hill–for non-DFW folks, that's from north of Dallas to southwest of it. (My commute, on good days, takes forty minutes. And I'm okay with that.) I am all right. In fact, I think I'm doing more than all right.
I have passed the five-year mark at the church I serve. I have forty-one days of non-smoking behind me–which I believed truly and utterly to be impossible. I am in a life-giving relationship that is exciting and meaningful. I am at a point in my life where I can change if I want to change; I can change how I'm called to change; I can become something more.
This time around–yes, it's another big long project with sub-projects–it's not about being less-worse. The goals aren't about escaping the life that is; this time, I want to live most fully into the life that is happening. I'll be writing more about these as I want to. Yes, I categorized them again. No, I'm not ashamed of that.

Make these cute and easily printable turkey napkin holders or place cards
for your Thanksgiving Dinner table.
I think I'm on a Turkey kick right now. I've made Turkey Caramel Apples, Turkey Candy Cup Favors, Turkey Cake Favors, and am heading off to buy my Thanksgiving Turkey dinner tonight. That's more turkey than I've seen all year long. But it just seems that November is the season of sweet pies, treats, side dishes, and turkeys.
So why not add one more idea to your Thanksgiving table with these Printable Turkey Napkin Holders or Place Card Holders? They are super easy and can be put together at the last minute to sit everyone at your Thanksgiving table properly, to label your favorite pies so no one ends up with the wrong flavor, or just as a fun decoration to add a little extra "something-something" to the table.
I designed up these turkeys to be easy to print and cut out. You'll just need to decide if you want the design with the banner at the bottom for you to add your guests' names or food labels to, or without the banner for a more easy going "sit wherever you want to" flow. Then print your turkeys onto card stock and cut out.
It's easy to add a name on the bottom with a pen or marker. Glue together one of the napkin ring rectangles into a circle and add the turkey to cover the glue spot with a little bit more glue. Now slip in your napkin and add to your Thanksgiving Dinner Tablescape.
The turkeys sit straight up if you glue them right so you can place them in front of your pies, breads, casseroles, or side dishes at the buffet table. You don't want guests to end up with Aunt Marla's hard-as-a-rock cookies instead of your melt-in-the-mouth version. (All names are fictional and not meant to represent any Aunt Marla's with bad tasting cookies. No feelings are designed to be hurt in the making of this blog post.)
These turkey's can also be used as a decoration around the room, as bracelets for your little Pilgrim, or any other way that you can use them. What do you think? Which version do you like best? What will you use them for?
To print these, right click on the picture you want to use and save it to your computer. Once saved, find the turkeys in your computers picture program (or wherever else you saved it.) Double click or right click on the picture and hit the print button.

Ambulance bosses have admitted there was almost an eight-hour delay in sending an ambulance to Caithness General Hospital when a sick child needed a transfer to Inverness.
Highlands and Islands MSP Labour MSP Rhoda Grant asked the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) for the facts of the case when reports of the delay were raised with her by worried constituents.
SAS's Chief Executive, Pauline Howie, replied that the ambulance control centre received a call from Caithness General Hospital at 13.25 on 20th December last year to transfer a child from Wick to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
The hospital requested the child be picked up within two hours.
"Due to the high demand in the area this timescale could not be met. The request was then upgraded to an emergency response and arrived on the scene at 21.05," said Ms Howie in a letter to Mrs Grant this month.
"The Ambulance Control room kept Caithness General informed of the delay throughout."
Mrs Grant said she would take up the ambulance service's offer of feedback from a review of the incident but was really concerned about such a delay.
"I was shocked that it would have taken more than 10 hours, given the travelling time to Inverness, for a child to arrive at hospital after an ambulance was called and requested by hospital staff within a couple of hours," she explained.
"Given that Unite members in the north have voted to start an official dispute over ongoing concerns about the service to the public, this case highlights the pressure that ambulance staff are under.
"Added to this are reports that some ambulance drivers from the west coast are claiming to be falling asleep at the wheel if called to Inverness during their shift.
"There needs to be an urgent review on the strain on the emergency service and on Patient Transport – both are vital to remote, rural areas."

R&B singer Kelly Rowland and her precious baby boy Titan Witherspoon are gracing the cover of Parents magazine's February 2016 issue. And the mother-son duo is melting our hearts with their insanely cute cover and spread.
In the cover story, the fab mom talks about juggling her career all while being a hands-on mom to her 14-month old son, whom she shares with husband Tim Witherspoon. She reveals "patience and confidence" are the keys that have helped transition her into motherhood.
But, she wasn't always confident about stepping into motherhood. Like many first-time mothers, she felt super nervous about having enough patience to care for her baby boy.
"I was nervous that I didn't have the patience to be a good mom, because before Titan I had zero. But now I am very patient. The Bible verse 'love is patient' is real! I am much more laid-back now. I don't make the little things into big issues like I once did."
After giving birth to her first child, we watched Kelly morph back into her pre-baby bod. It didn't seem like it took her very long to bounce back (she kept up a healthy exercise routine while she was preggo) and she credits that to burning crazy calories in spin classes and working one-on-one with a fitness trainer.
While some new mothers can't afford a trainer, she offers up some great advice to new moms who are working diligently to drop the baby weight. First she advises,
"Write on your mirror in lipstick: 'I had a baby. I'm a superhero.'"
Then, she urges new mothers to not get discouraged when trying to lose weight. She motivates them to stay the course because losing the weight will take time, but you shouldn't beat yourself up over it. She drops some inspirational words saying,
"It takes about a year to get the weight off. Don't beat yourself up if it takes even longer."
Good advice!
