FC Dallas also has 25 points; only Los Angeles has more with 31. Fredy Montero snapped a 566-minute scoring drought if my math is correct. * * * FINAL. Sounders FC 1, Toronto FC 0. One moment of magic from Fredy Montero gives the 10-man Sounders a huge road win. 90+3′: Cordon with a yellow card after fouling Rosales. More seconds tick off. More time wasting. 90+2′: Four minutes of stoppage time. We're almost halfway through 'em. 90′: GOAL SEATTLE! And it's Fredy Montero curling in a beautiful free kick past Frei. Can the 10-man Sounders hold on for a huge win? 89′: More good stuff from the Sounders. Rosales clattered into 25 yards out. Montero and Alonso line up a free kick. 88′: Tense final minutes. Seattle able to waste time by winning throw-ins and fouls. Good chance for the Sounders after Friberg finds Flaco in the box. The cutback to Montero is cleared, but possession is maintained in Toronto's end. 86′: Wahl earns a corner kick well. Allows more seconds to tick off, plus a possibly chance on goal. Scott header back to Rosales. Alonso with a strong shot, but it's wide. 84′: Sounders slow things down after winning a throw-in. TFC gets a counter-attack chance through. Montero defends well and the cross is taken by Keller. 82′: POST! Javier Martina open on the far post but slams a shot off the frame. Rebound chance no good either. We play on. Wow. 81′: Plata with a good run, but Parke defends it well. 80′: These final 10 minutes, plus stoppage time, will be long ones. 78′: Martina cross finds Santos, but his header is off line. Evans with an ankle contusion says the Sounders FC broadcast. 77′: Alonso nearly finds Rosales on a through ball. Seattle continues to get some attacking moments. On the other end, a shot comes in from Santos, but it's off target. 76′: Header comes in from Soolsma, but Keller handles it comfortably. 75′: Friberg and Fernandez should be nice additions to a short-handed team. Rosales fouls a defender on a breakaway chance. 74′: Hang-on time for the Sounders. Alonso earns a corner kick with some nice work. It's taken short and Alonso fires a low shot, but Frei handles it. Toronto's young goalkeeper hasn't been called upon much tonight. 71′: Evans might've tweaked something on that shot attempt. Signals for a sub. Friberg replaces him. That's the last sub for Seattle. Martina in for TFC, replacing Stevanovic. 69′: Sounders actually playing pretty well down a man. Fernandez finally in for Fucito. 67′: Sounds like Fernandez will be coming in for Fucito. Friberg was up just in case Evans couldn't play on, but he has. 65′: Montero strips Yourassowsky, then is fouled by the TFC player from behind. Yellow card to Yourassowsky, could've had one for diving earlier. Rosales cross blocked. 63′: Rosales corner kick eventually leads to a shot by Evans. He stays down after the attempt. Looks like Fernandez might be coming in soon. Friberg too possibly. 60′: Fucito wins a header well on a Montero cross, but it's just over. 58′: Big defensive play by Evans after a Montero giveaway. 56′: Plata burns Riley, his cross across the goal is cleared by Wahl. Dangerous moment there. 55′: Wahl sends in a free kick, but it's cleared. 52′: Zach Scott on to play center back. Lamar Neagle comes off. Fucito starts out on the left. 49′: RED CARD! Hurtado sent off for a second yellow card after dragging Stevanovic down. Somewhat harsh, but not entirely undeserved. Took a bad touch and grabbed his opponent down on the way to ground. 48′: Good stuff early from the Sounders. 46′: We're underway in the second half. Certainly seems like there are goals out there to be had. We'll see. TFC made a switch. Cordon on for Sturgis. Halftime: Sounders FC 0, Toronto FC 0. Reyes actually waited 3+ minutes before blowing the whistle. TFC with the better of the action at home. When does Alvaro Fernandez come in for Seattle? 45′: Two minutes of stoppage time. 45′: Plata with a run at Riley, cuts back and fires a shot wide. 43′: Sounders continue to play with fire. Alonso concedes a dangerous free kick this time. Shot by Sturgis is just high, clips the back netting. 40′: Replays show Yourassowsky with a ridiculous dive there. Later Toronto with a dangerous cross, but Montero helps defend. Home team with the better of the action on the whole. 38: Looks like Fucito took a hard hit while clearing the corner kick. Jaqua and Noonan warming up. On the corner kick, Santos heads Sturgis' cross over the goal. 36′: Good build-up for Toronto leads to a Plata shot, but it's blocked out for a corner. Sturgis service cleared, but not far enough. Another cross takes a deflection and Keller knocks it out. Fucito is down. 35′: Hurtado with a foul outside the box, earns a booking. Dangerous free kick coming. It's blocked by the wall and cleared. 34′: Schmid laments Fucito's early missed chance in his in-game interview. Says Montero needs to cover better defensively when given free reign. Also said Montero wanted a sleeve from the bench, it's something they'll check out at halftime. 31′: Yourassowsky with a shot wide. On the other end, Montero sets up Rosales for a cross, but it's off target. 29′: Shaky moment in the back, but Parke and Keller combine to clear a dangerous ball. Then Santos draws a foul on Montero. Free kick taken by Sturgis, but Hurtado wins it. 27′: Wahl curls in the free kick, Hurtado wins it, but knocks it over the goal. Took a deflection. Out for a corner kick. Good service from Wahl, but it's cleared. 26′: Borman booked for taking over Rosales. Two yellow cards now for TFC defenders. 24′: Rosales with another cross, but it's over everyone. 22′: Cross comes into Santos, but it's right at Keller. 21′: It'll be interesting to see how many minutes Alvaro Fernandez has in him today. 18′: TFC earns its second corner kick, better service from Sturgis and ball is popped up. Harden smashes into Keller on the second attempt and draws a foul. Lots of Sounders take exception to that one, especially Riley. Keller stays down. Harden booked. 16′: Montero takes down Sturgis. Gets him back for the earlier foul. 15′: Alonso with the steal and a long shot attempt, but it's well off target. 13′: Plata with a good run into the box past Parke but Alonso clears the danger for a corner kick. Sturgis' cross is too long. 11′: Yourassowsky down in the penalty box after beating Riley. No call. Hurtado, the closest defender, pleads for a yellow card for simulation. 10′: Alonso earns a free kick, but Rosales' service is over everyone and out for a goal kick. 8′: Good combo by Rosales and Riley, but the cross is blocked. 7′: Hurtado concedes a free kick. Riley blocks it and it's cleared. 5′: Lot of empty seats there at BMO Field. 2′: POST! Lamar Neagle with a quick throw-in springs Fucito, who fires a left-footed shot that clips the far post. Tough angle. 2′: Montero active early defensively. Also draws a foul on Sturgis, an old teammate. Gets up gingerly. 1′: We're underway! Pregame: Sounders wearing their alternate shale uniforms for the second time this season. Previously they were worn in a 1-1 draw in Columbus. Pregame: Seattle in the same lineup as last week, meaning there have been 14 different starting combinations in 17 games. Pregame: I am not in Toronto for this one, but will be posting period updates here from the broadcast. Here are the lineups: Sounders FC starters: GK Kasey Keller, D James Riley, D Jeff Parke, D Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, D Tyson Wahl, M Osvaldo Alonso, M Brad Evans, M Mauro Rosales, M Lamar Neagle, F Mike Fucito, F Fredy Montero Sounders FC reserves: GK Terry Boss, D Leo Gonzalez, D Zach Scott, M Erik Friberg, M Alvaro Fernandez, F/M Pat Noonan, F Nate Jaqua.

David Randolph... sports enthusiast, collector, investor, authenticator.
Initially there was the love of the game. Collecting was the next step. Over the years, the popularity of collecting sports memorabilia rose. With that, seeing many items mislabeled, fake or misrepresented—specifically game worn jerseys—a need for a higher standard authentication came about. What started as a hobby manifested into a business.
David has had a successful career in technology sales. He has brought that same technology to authenticating sports memorabilia using IT forensic analysis.

BILL HENDERSON, Chief Authenicator
In the sports collector community, Bill Henderson is best known for authoring The Game Worn Guide to MLB Jerseys, now in its twentieth year and eighth edition of publication. Considered by most as 'the' indispensable guide to MLB jersey authenticity, this book has been helping sellers, buyers and collectors validate MLB jerseys by painstakingly noting every change in every jersey, year by year, for every MLB team, going back in time to 1970. His research resides in the collection the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown New York, as a part of their permanent research collection.
Interviewed by Sports Illustrated, USA Today's Sports Weekly and by various broadcast and Internet media sources over the years, Bill has a vast personal collection of MLB jerseys, and enjoys sharing his knowledge with friends and the industry.
A trained graphic artist, Bill has worked with several teams their uniform makers to help recreate the uniform fonts for some MLB Turn Back the Clock games over the years, also has served as an authenticity consultant and graphic art provider to Mitchell & Ness and Majestic. Bill has recreated hundreds of distinctly different teams' player name and number fonts every team and every year, going back into the 1950s.
Using these assets, Bill has branched into expertly restoring jerseys for collectors, specializing in returning to their original appearance ones that had been repurposed to the minor leagues, as was the custom in baseball for so many decades.
Besides his historical work with baseball uniforms which began as a hobby, Bill Henderson has enjoyed a thirty-five-year career in unrelated global businesses- as a marketing professional, board member and eventually an international executive. This foundational exposure to the world of business has helped him understand the world of industry and respect the drivers of free markets: good ethics, appropriate investment, proper business planning and appropriate profitability management.

Good Luck and Have a Smart Day!!
Mole Hill out of a Mountain
Riding is the fun part, right? Most people will answer with an enthusiastic "YES"! Well, in order to do that you probably had to catch your horse, tie your horse, groom him, and maybe even trailer him. How did that go? Was all or part of that a battle? Horses who misbehave are worse than children who don't listen because it can be downright dangerous. Just like kids, they need to be taught manners. I have always gone with the presumption that horses need to be taught on the level of a human 3 yr. old. They are capable of learning and retaining a large amount of fairly complex material. The information just needs to be broken down into small manageable bites, and as with children, CONSISTANCY is paramount! Start off with just one behavior at a time. Pick the one that is "maybe not so bad". Tying for instance. Maybe your horse will tie well, but only for a short time before he starts to paw or sashay around. Begin by engaging him with grooming, but only do a partial job, then walk away and do something else for a short time. Reengage with him BEFORE he gets fussy and praise him; then groom some more. Continue with that line of training, accentuating the good behavior and being firm and immediate with (non abusive) consequences for repeated negative behavior. Another good guideline to remember is to use simple 1or 2 word commands. I am a serial abuser of this (as my husband loves to remind me). "Jester, you better be standing still" is difficult for Jester to process, but "Jester, STAND" is something he can easily grasp. Once you have mastered tying quietly, then you can move on to another task, in the same fashion. Don't forget to continue the same rules with tying EVERY single time. Consistency needs to be your new favorite word with your horse. The time you spend with "ground work" will pay off in a multitude of ways, not only will your animal be proficient in the basic skills that make the whole experience more enjoyable, but you will both have a greater understanding and trust of one another, which is perhaps the most critical element in this equation!
Good Luck and Have a Smart Day!!
My Kingdom for Pruners?
How familiar is this? I am a bad mom- had I removed this 3 days ago when he first came in from the pasture and the burrs could still be identified EVERYONE would be happier. Now we have to go to battle. I usually don't do anything special to get them out other than remembering to pull the hair out of the burr and not the other way around. He is the least patient of my three so I may try for a little assistance. When looking for answers I found a couple of places offering help- http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com/horse-forums/best-way-remove-burrs-forelock-mane-tail-430431.html,
I'll Let you know what works.
Now for the pruners (I am not ruling out using them on the pony), I am going to take them and commit manual herbicide! The old addage "an ounce of prevention....." certainly comes into play. Maybe next year instead of just remarking about how we have never had burdock plants growing there, I will find the pruners sooner!
Have a Smart Day!!
Desserts is just stressed spelled backwards. Believe me, I know. I am the QUEEN of emotional eaters and bakers, as it turns out, which packs a double whammy. When I am upset or feeling a lack of confidence I immediately think "what can I make"? We all have our own ways of dealing with the inevitable reality of stress in our lives. But what happens when the "stress relievers" become "stress generators" I have found myself feeling pressure (completely self- initiated) surrounding my baking. I constantly volunteer to bake for a myriad of events and occasions. I heap an enormous amount of pressure on myself to present the "perfect creation". I have generated that expectation others have not. It is still a work in progress, but I am learning to recognize this tendency in myself, and modifying my behavior. I am lucky enough to have a barn with some magical little men (ponies) living inside. There have been many times I have stormed out of the house with either smoke coming out of my ears or tears rolling down my face and entered what has become my sanctuary. Within a matter of minutes, my sense of calm is restored. I am so very lucky to have those three little faces hanging out of stalls!
What happens when your stress reliever is your horse, but it has become one of the greatest weights on your shoulders? For the majority of us, who are not equine professionals, our involvement with horses is a choice (I use that word cautiously). We can choose to make it be whatever we want it to be- financial concerns not- withstanding. Many of us feel that we have to ride X number of times a week or our horse will---- what? Revert back to being an unbroken 2 yr. old? Unlikely. I understand that consistency is important but at what cost? Are your expectations for yourself and your animal too rigid? Are you trying to "present the perfect creation"? When our animals become another thing on the to do list - who is benefitting? Give yourself a break and, maybe, discover that just spending time with your horse, without an agenda, can bring calm to the chaos. You may find that you accomplish much more in 3X a week of focused work than in 5-6X a week of harried attendance. You have the power to restore it to the simple pleasure that it once was. Our horses are one of the few things in this world that have absolutely no expectations of us- take advantage of that and just ENJOY!
Have a Smart Day!!
Fuzzy Ponies
My ponies have been shedding for weeks and are now FUZZY! I know that the shedding cycle is dependent upon the hours of daylight but geez. Does this mean we're in for another rough one?
The Farmer's Almanac claims that this year is going to be less than temperate and one of the harbingers is a bumper "crop" of acorns, well "Houston we have a problem"! We have never had this many in our yard. I guess we better get prepared.
In this season of change one thing we need to be on the lookout for is colic. We all know the stereotypical signs- getting up and down; not eating or drinking; biting or kicking at sides; excessive rolling; not pooping, but in some horses the signs can be much more subtle. Things such as slow eating; staying down; stretching; sweating; decreased poop; and just not having that "twinkle in the eye" can be just as important. Be observant and trust your gut. CALL YOUR VET. Believe me they would rather be advised, about a possible colic, early on when they may be able to talk you through some possible solutions rather than at 2 am when there is nothing more to be done! A few things to "help" avoid some types of colic are 1. Make sure they are drinking enough water ( add warm H2O to icy buckets, add mild flavoring to increase intake) 2. Make sure they have hay in front of them as much as possible (slow feed hay bags are great) to keep fiber in the digestive tract and decrease the chance of a twist. 3. Get them OUT! Outside in the pasture, arena or hand walking, is probably the #1 thing to keep everything moving effectively. Try to remember, as we are preparing for Old Man Winter, to enjoy this beautiful Autumn weather and all that this season has to offer, not the least of which is LESS FLIES!
Have a Smart Day!! Mary
What's up Doc?
Someone recently posed the question "is it ok to ask for references from a vet, that you are considering using"? Yes, is the short answer! It is also ok to ask your prospective farrier, dentist, trainer, and even boarding facility. Think of it as an interview for someone to join your "team". If they are professional, they should have no problem providing you with a list of local references and answering a few appropriate questions. I know it can seem a bit awkward, but having a discussion can alleviate a LOT of stress in the future. When I worked in the veterinary field, I witnessed many instances when the expectations of the owners for the vets and the vets for the owners did not always mesh. Take a few minutes to assess what kind of an owner you are and what you need from the equine professional. Think about past experiences, the good ones as well as the bad. Make a list and make sure that you articulate that. Believe me, it makes the vet's, farrier's, etc... job much easier if they also have a sense of who you are as an owner. As in most things good communication can be the basis of a GREAT relationship!

50 People Displaced by Residential Fire in South L.A. Area
A fire that broke out in the South Los Angeles area engulfed multiple homes and displaced several dozen people, authorities said Wednesday.
City firefighters arrived on the scene on the 1400 block of East 58th Place at 11:46 p.m. Tuesday to assist the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a tweet. The address is in the unincorporated Florence-Firestone neighborhood.
A county Fire Department inspector said one single-family home was well involved when firefighters arrived, and then a second home and two motor homes caught fire.
Fifty people were displaced by the fire, the inspector said, and some electrical wires in the area were down and Southern California Edison was called to the scene.
Firefighters had extinguished the flames by 12:13 a.m. It's still not clear what caused the fire.
Red Cross Los Angeles has set up a temporary shelter for those who were displaced.

Canterbury District Health Board's Community and Public Health unit have issued a health warning after potentially toxic blue-green algae (benthic cyanobacteria) were found in the Ashley/ Rakahuri River near the State Highway 1 Bridge.
There are also other access points along the Ashley/ Rakahuri River that may have cyanobacteria present and people are advised to check for the presence of cyanobacteria and avoid contact.
The cyanobacteria mats are detaching from the riverbed and becoming exposed as the water recedes and therefore people and animals, particularly dogs, should avoid the area of the Ashley/ Rakahuri River near the State Highway 1 Bridge until the health warning has been lifted.
Dr Alistair Humphrey, Canterbury Medical Officer of Health, says the algae look like dark brown to black mats and can produce toxins harmful to people and animals.
"Exposure may cause skin rashes, nausea, stomach cramps, tingling and numbness around the mouth and fingertips," Dr Humphrey says.
"If you experience any of these symptoms, visit your doctor immediately, also let your doctor know if you've had contact with dark brown/black algal mats or water in this area."
"No-one should drink the water from the river at any time, even after boiling the water from the river, it does not remove the toxin therefore should not be consumed," Dr Humphrey says.
Pets should be taken to a vet immediately if they are showing signs of illness after coming into contact with algal mats.
People and animals should remain out of the waterways until the warnings have been lifted.
Environment Canterbury is monitoring the sites and the public will be advised of any changes in water quality.
Facts about cyanobacteria:
Appears as dark brown/black mats attached to rocks along the riverbed.
The algae occur naturally but can increase rapidly during warmer months.
It often has a strong musty smell and algal toxin concentrations can vary over short periods with changing environmental conditions.
Although high river levels will remove the algal bloom, detached mats can accumulate along the shore and increase the risk of exposure to toxins.
If a health warning is in place avoid contact with the water.
Although district or city councils may place warning signs, these may not be seen at the numerous river access points, hence the need for people/ dog-walkers to treat every low-flowing river cautiously.

Stephen and I made a quick getaway for Valentine's weekend and his birthday to Prague this year. If you haven't been to Prague then you definitely should. It's such a city of culture and there's a millions and one things to see and do, and if you're a foodie like me then you'll love it because they're food mad!
Stephen's birthday is 11th February so we went from 8th – 12th to cater for both occasions.
We travelled via easyJet and the flights cost £150 for both of us. Accommodation was from AirBnB in the centre of Old Town, Prague and cost £172 for 4 nights stay, we had a studio flat overlooking the main town so we were right in the middle of everything and close to tram, metro and bus links to go to whatever part of the city we wished.
We visited Hard Rock Cafe Praha on Stephen's birthday and ate a colossal amount of food for a little price. Remember that 28kc (Czech koruna) equates to £1 gbp, you get a lot of money when converted even with commission and charges etc.
We visited several monuments and Prague's version of Madame Tussaud's which is, to say the least, freaky.
Is there anywhere in Europe you would recommend or have been to and found it to be a good place to holiday? Let me know in the comments.

Life After Divorce: How to Trust Again
Divorce sucks.
No matter which side of the table you're sitting on, getting over a divorce is not exactly a day at the beach. But, with time, the crappy stuff starts to subside and the gold nuggets begin to emerge.
Navigating divorce is very much like peeling an onion: there are a lot of layers that have to come off to get to the good stuff (ok, so the center of an onion isn't any different than the exterior layers, but just go with here, okay?). As the outer layers slough off, the inevitable tears make it harder to see what's happening. But, you eventually get there, the tears subside, and things start to look (and smell!) a lot better.
But, I won't lie. It's not always a smooth ride and just when you think you've got this life-after-divorce thing figured out, something else comes along and smacks you on your butt.
It's natural to question yourself and doubt your judgment (how could you trust yourself after getting it so wrong with the person you chose to marry!), or to trust others (you trusted that person, and they broke your heart, so how can you trust someone else with it!).
So today, let's talk about how to trust yourself, trust others, and make life-after-divorce a little bit brighter.
Before I dive into how to trust again, let me start by telling you my divorce story...
When my ex-husband cheated on me with an old high school girlfriend, I was devastated. At that point, I was a wife of less than two years (seriously...the ink on the marriage certificate was barely dry!).
Initially, as with most cheaters, he lied about what was going on, even though my gut was telling me otherwise. I'm not usually a jealous person, and what I was feeling was different than anything I'd ever felt before. But, he made me feel like I was crazy for suggesting anything was going on with his "friend."
After confirming my suspicions, he swore he'd end it and despite my long-held belief that I'd leave anyone that ever dared to cheat on me, I went against my gut, stayed, and planned to "work it out".
As we bought a new house to "start over", my gut was still telling me things were still very much alive between them (spoiler alert: my instinct was right).
Long story short, in addition to the lies and the cheating around the affair, he also revealed that he'd changed his mind on wanting on the marriage before the wedding had even happened, but he went along with it anyway.
That was almost worse than the cheating because it made the entire, short-lived, marriage a lie. I didn't know he felt that way (although looking back now, I see the signs clearly, but at the time, my newlywed heart wouldn't allow me to see a glimpse of the reality I'd landed myself in).
As I went through the divorce process, my trust in myself and others took a significant hit. I didn't date for a long time after my divorce. Partly to heal and get to know me again, but there was also a hefty dose of fear coursing through my veins.
Eventually, I did date and even had a 4+ relationship with a good man that was not the cheating type. I would love to say that relationship allowed me to restore faith and trust in men and myself, but to be honest, it was the work I did before I met him that allowed me the ability to trust him from day one.
Once I had my divorce certificate in hand, and the dust settled, I began to heal and see life through a new lens. I realized my gut wasn't wrong during all of that craziness. It was right all along and screamed at me to warn me something was off...but I ignored it.
Realizing that allowed me to see that I didn't need to doubt my judgment or myself. My gut instinct was sound; I had just been young, inexperienced, and naive. I didn't recognize the power and insight that underlies my gut instinct. I didn't know to trust it implicitly, and it took going through my divorce to learn that lesson (which, side note, is why I will always be grateful for my failed marriage).
My greatest lesson from my marriage and divorce was that I have a strong internal instinct and when I feel that same sensation, I now know not to fight it and just trust it.
Learning to trust again - both yourself and others - is a hard process. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.
My best advice is to...
Be patient: Learning to trust yourself again isn't something that happens overnight, so don't rush the process. It takes time to heal the wounds and with that comes the ability to see everything from a fresh perspective.
Be compassionate: As you heal and start to wonder how everything happened, don't judge yourself or beat yourself up. Life isn't about perfection and full-time happiness. Sh*tty things happen, and you survived. Pat yourself on the back...you've got this.
Be curious: While you're going through this healing process, get curious. Be a detective in your own life. Look back over what happened and look for clues as to where your gut was sending you signs. Reflect on the times where you made a wrong choice, or your partner let you down, and explore a different way to respond so you can see an alternative and have new options at the ready.
Remind yourself of when your gut was spot-on: As with my story, I eventually saw that accuracy of my gut instinct. While I could've gone down the self-torture path of reminding myself that I didn't listen to it, I chose to see the beauty in it: my gut was right, so how could I not trust myself again?
Learn your physical cues: Our bodies have the amazing ability to tell us when something isn't right. It will physically provide signals to walk away or not believe what appears to be true. Get to know your body and how it tries to get your attention. For some, it's a physical reaction (a feeling in the pit of the stomach), for others it's a thought (that voice of reason in your head), and for others, it may come in the form of a dream. Whatever the signal your body sends to you, start to pay attention and listen for those signs, then...trust them.
Practice: As with anything, repetition strengthens the muscle, so it takes putting yourself out there to relearn how to trust yourself and others. By engaging in situations to test your judgment, you get prime opportunities to learn those physical cues and to get a few wins under your belt to build your confidence.
Talk to someone: If your trust issues have taken such a hit that you're finding it difficult to make any progress, then release the pressure on yourself and talk to someone. Be it a coach, or a therapist, or a trusted friend/family member, reach out and get some guidance.
Here's the thing, life isn't perfect, and there are assholes out there (men and women). People will try to take advantage of you and sometimes, they'll succeed, but that's not a reflection on you.
Trust is fragile - once it's broken, it's hard to re-establish, but it IS possible.
You have a stronger gut instinct than you realize. Take a leap of faith and start trusting yourself to get back into the game of life and thrive in your life-after-divorce reality.

Austria Threatens War
Once Louis XVI was deposed the Austrians realized that they needed to act in order to protect other monarchies of Europe from the same fate. Emperor Leopold II (Austria) would gather a coalition of states and send a threatening message about what would happen if the King wasn't reinstated in the Declaration of Pilnitz (1791). The language of the declaration was vague on purpose because he really didn't have much support for invasion from the other countries, so this was a bluff to a large extent.
The leaders of the Assembly, who had no real experience in international negotiations, took this declaration seriously instead of seeing the document for what it was. They would choose a pre-emptive attack instead of waiting for the coalition to attack them. The problem was that France was a mess at this point, they still had major debt and the Assembly fought over every little detail. They knew they needed decisive leadership to win a war like this but they simply didn't have it.
The hope for the French was that if they showed early strength in this war it would inspire the people of these other countries to revolt against their
monarchs in a similar fashion to what the French had done. Brussels, for instance, had broken away from Austria recently and created their own "United States of Belgium," but had been reconquered by Austria before their independence could be solidified. This hope of inspiring a revolution would hinge on the ability to win early victories though, and the French were completely unprepared to do that. They had recently lost most of their talent in military leadership and those leaders who took over were always in fear for their lives. With this lack of leadership in every possible area, the French would start this war with massive defeats against the Austrians from the moment the French preemptively invaded the Netherlands.
The losses against the Austrians and Prussians would mount as time progressed and the 2 groups would eventually invade Northern France, which caused a major panic among the people. The King would veto a decision to post 20,000 Guardsmen (called Fédérés) outside Paris, probably because he was hoping the countries would take over France. This decision would alienate himself from the royalists (Girondists) that had been his strongest supporters up to this point. He would dismiss his cabinet of Girondists, but would be very much alone after this decision. The Assembly would start to scare people about the possibility of invasion by foreigners at the same time. They would send out calls to the entire country to join the military, claiming they would lose without a great deal of troops.
At the exact moment it looked like the Austrians were going to win this war, they issued another threat about the King, hoping to end this war now and go home. This threat united the people in ways the Austrians didn't see coming, and a massive riot would start with the aims of taking the King out of power for good. In what has become known as the Revolution of 10 August 1792 (very clever name), the Girondists would attack the Tuileries Palace with the Fédéré militias the King had vetoed the use of. The 950 men who guarded the palace would be so outnumbered that the hardly stood a chance, especially after their own General Mandat was killed.
The King and Queen would run to the Assembly for protection, hoping that the Assembly would save their lives from the masses of people out to get them. The problem was that only 1/3rd of the deputies of the Assembly were present at the time, and all of them were the most liberal of the Jacobins. This portion of the Assembly would choose to suspend the King and start planning a republic, even though they didn't have enough members present to make a decision like that. They would throw the King and Queen in prison and start the preparations for this new government immediately.

John Wayne toilet paperWednesday, September 24th, 2014
Its Irenes birthday, which is why we went to Scotland for the weekend, then brought Irene back here. the weekend went well Saturday we went to the borders, i had been before but couldnt remember much about it, this time we went to Kelso and ate in a garden centre cafe which was really nice as after we got to wander round the garden centre itself. Sunday Fiona had a bit of a party, i ended up being the wine waiter which suits me as i get to talk to every one with out getting stuck with anyone.
the weekend before was an interesting one, i couldnt write about it last week as the blog site wasnt working which is a shame as i wont remember everything we did, Saturday we went to Barcelona to meet up with Lynne and Clark, old friends of Moiras from Cupar, we had a great time dragging them round indian shops looking for Lime pickle, we also got let in to the cat garden which is a first. Sunday i dont think we did very much but maybe go for a walk then stop off in Pepes for a beer or two, not sure. i know we went to the supermarket at some point.
the thursday before last weekend was a bank holiday, taking full advantage of it, Me Moira Mark and Wendy went up past Besalu to tortella and the pont de lleinca and another smaller place with a river where we was able to swim but i cant remember its name, will go back there though as it was quite beautiful.
work still is keeping me busy, much more then last year, which is good as it will pay for Granada, when we go

Anyway, here's a condensed version of the story:
Damn, gives me chills reading that. I think I was a year younger, 28, when I went up BT the first time. The Oregonian said she went off-trail, but of course there's no trail approaching the summit. I think they mean she struggled to find the standard route, as did I. That mountain is a terrifying slagheap, and to this day I'm not sure what the standard route is. It's better done when cemented with a good coating of snow.Authorities airlifted an Oregon City woman from Broken Top, a central Oregon peak, over the weekend.
Sarah Rask unintentionally went off trail near the summit of the peak, lost her footing and grabbed a large rock that gave way and caused her to fall about 25 feet.
Authorities requested help from the Oregon Army National Guard, which sent a Salem-based Blackhawk helicopter to the mountain's summit, according to the sheriff's office.
A medical team was lowered to Rask — who 911 callers reported was anchored, immobile and near a 60- to 70-foot cliff — and she was lifted from the mountain in a litter.
Rask, 29, was flown to a Bend hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries.
summary of user comments: Stupidity and arrogance. And critiques of her instagram. Imagine lying in a hospital bed while strangers see your name in the paper and immediately go to check out your instagram so they can talk trash about you. My main complaint is she drinks Rainier beer at the top of Mt Hood. What a tragedy!

The Doll Her Mother Never Had
The Subjects
Aga was born in Poland in 1971. Her family is originally from Lithuania. In 1945, when the Soviet Union took over Lithuania, her family had a choice: either become Soviets or "repatriate" to a new country. They were given six hours to decide and to pack. They took only essentials and were put on a train without knowledge of its final destination. Eventually they settled in Poland. Though Lithuania was only 8 hours away, Aga's family was not allowed to return to visit the relatives they'd left behind. Only when Aga was in her teens did she meet her extended family. After college, Aga visited a friend in the United States and decided to stay. She carried only a small suitcase. A few months after settling in the US, she met her future husband, Armen.
Armen was born and raised in the United States, but his life and his family are rooted in the Armenian culture. In 1915, Armenians lost their country to Turkey and lived, as Aga says, "in diaspora." Armen's mother's family eventually resettled in Beirut, his father's family in Damascus. In the 1950's, Shushan (his mother) and Shahan (his father) met and married in Chicago. Neither had ever set foot in their homeland, but had found each other.
Today, Aga and Armen live in Chicago with their two sons, Tadeusz Yeraz (13) and Eliasz Voki (8).
The Objects
The Rug
Called a Soumak, it was hand-woven in the 1850's by the women in Armen's family.
The Photographs
1) Aga's grandmother, Irena, and her mother, Alina, at 2 years of age. 1952
2) Aga's grandmother, Irena.
The Doll
The Questions
1) What would you ask the owners of these objects, if you could speak to them today?
2) What lessons or ideas do these objects communicate that you hope your children will carry through their lives?
Aga answers with a poem:

Guy Suter
Dec 5, 2018
Great innovations emerge from startups constantly. We love to see intrepid entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life to drive progress.
However, there is a growing concern about what people are giving up to benefit from these new wonders. More and more, innovations today are made possible by your data. Your data! How can we balance a desire for innovation with our need for privacy?
The answer is likely we can trust some of them. It is certainly not reasonable to trust all startups.
You can not really trust all of … any group. That's not what trust is. You do not award blanket trust to all school teachers, all cooks, all police officers, or all people in any circumstance. Trust is granted to someone who demonstrates they are trustworthy with certain responsibilities.
We grant trust to a teacher based on their reputation, our interactions and their performance. The ideal outcome is we can trust them to create a safe and productive learning environment for our kids. This does not mean we would necessarily trust them to land an airplane our kids are flying on.
Baroness Onora O'Neill, an expert philosopher on matters of trust, gave one of my all-time-favorite Ted talks. She says we need to first ask, "What are you asking me to trust you to do?" She continues by asking, "How can I validate whether I should trust you to do that thing?"
Today, the biggest thing many startups are asking to be trusted to do is keep your data safe and private.
We see how access to data can make compelling experiences possible. Whether it's Uber using our location, Slack organizing our conversations, Siri hearing our voice, or Nest learning our household schedule — innovative products like these make our lives better.
My startup, Trove, is using communications data to build a smarter networking app. Trove finds patterns and key interactions in a user's online conversations and turns them into an insightful, searchable personal network. We aim to help our users understand their networks' full potential and make connections that matter. The possibilities created by harnessing artificial intelligence to help you communicate better are endless. To take advantage of this technology though, we must ask you to trust us with your data.
This is where things get harder. In his post, Trust is Overrated, Saul Kaplan says people are divided into four types when it comes to trust: Trust Until, Trust Still, Distrust Until, and Distrust Still.
The people in the Distrust Until category require their standard of trustworthiness to be met before they will trust you. This is a perfectly reasonable approach. Unfortunately, I have not found any commonly accepted system or standard to help people evaluate a startup's trustworthiness.
As a result of this lapse in evaluation standards, people in both Distrust Until and Distrust Still categories simply do not trust anyone with their data. This is understandable but it also means they will miss out on many innovations. On the other end of the spectrum, people in both Trust Until and Trust Still do not carefully consider who deserves their trust in the first place. These people get to play with the latest tech, but may be taking unintentional risks by sharing their data blindly.
By creating a way for people to validate a startup's trustworthiness, we will make people safer and open up more opportunities for innovation. If anyone knows of such a framework that is up-and-coming, please share it!
According to O'neill, our aim should not be to have more trust but rather to have "more trust in the trustworthy and not in the untrustworthy." We must find a reliable way to help people evaluate the trustworthiness of startups.
Meanwhile, here is how we aim to earn User trust in Trove.

Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in… uh, nowhere. It's actually not Christmas time anywhere, but you better believe that photographers across the world are already gearing up for holiday family photo session season!
As you start preparing for your holiday family photo session, there are a few things you should know to make booking a breeze.
The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the most ideal time slot for a holiday family photo session. The week of Thanksgiving is by far my most highly requested time for family pictures. Everyone has family in town and days off work, making it an ideal time to schedule photos. The problem is, most photographers also have family in town, or are going out of town themselves. This potentially limits your favourite photographer's availability during the craziest time of year. If you know you want to schedule a session in time for sending out Christmas cards and gifting prints, I recommend looking at your calendar now and booking early with the photographer of your choice.
In the age of digital, we are use to instant gratification… take the photo, see it right away. When you hire a professional family photography it is a little more involved than that. Photographers put a lot of time and effort into the images, even after the session. It is more than just downloading the images to a computer and sending them off to the clients. We make sure the colour is correct, smooth skin, brighten eyes and ensure that your image is a true piece of art that you can enjoy for years to come. This takes time!
If you are hoping to send out Christmas cards or print images to gift family members and friends, it is imperative that you know your photographers turn around time and plan accordingly. It may take 2-3 weeks to get your edited images back, and even more time after seeing the images to select which ones to print or to have your Christmas card designed. Scheduling your session for the first week of December is not allowing you or your photographer enough time to make magic happen in time for Christmas Day!
Don't be afraid to start thinking about your Christmas photos in October, or even September! I have been known to take our family Christmas card photo in the middle of the summer. That way, our family cards don't get forgotten in the midst of creating cards for all my clients! I just placed an order for a photo based Christmas gift for my father in law. I'll just tuck it away for the next few months. Now that is one less thing for me to worry about during this busy time.
As we welcome Fall, the sun will rise later and set earlier. This makes the window for a holiday family photo sessions that much smaller. If you are looking for a natural light family photo session, plan accordingly. Most natural light photographers enjoy photographing clients during the "golden hour" which is the 60 minutes after the sun rises and the 60 minutes before it sets. In the Fall, I have started evening sessions as early as 3:30 or 4pm. Being mindful of this will help you to plan for getting off work early or scheduling around prior commitments.

You have not viewed any products recently.
Some years ago, I proposed a series of short pieces on language. The project never materialized, but it is really more appropriate for the website than the magazine. Here is the beginning:
In Jean-Luc Goddard's film Alphaville, a secret agent (Lemmy Caution) is sent to find a colleague and to destroy Alphaville itself, a computer-designed dystopia that has reduced humanity to the level of machines. In each hotel room in Alphaville, there is a "Bible," which is really an anti-dictionary that eliminates words like love and poetry. In America, we have been doing something very similar by redefining old words and inventing new ones. The effect (purpose?) is to destroy the clarity and precision of English and render us servile, first in speech and then in our minds. Politicians are the real masters in using words to deflect responsibility. Remember Hilary's use of the Clintonian passive, "Mistakes were made," to glide over malfeasance of office. Our current President is no slouch. His equivocation on the $300,000 douceur he received on buying a house was the forthright confession of making a "boneheaded….mistake."
As a preliminary step toward liberating our minds, I propose this feature, eliminating both the bad new words and the duplicitous usages that have been introduced. The emphasis will be on 1) words that should not exist, 2) words that once had a clear meaning that has been lost in transition, 3) words that have been co-opted for wicked purposes, whether moral, aesthetic, or political, and 4) words that need to be revived. Here are a few obvious examples.
1. Some obvious candidates for elimination:
Yuck(y), Yum(my).
Yummy is for nurseries and even there should be repressed, while "yuck" is a Yiddishism that has unfortunately replaced ugh, the proper English expression of disgust.
2. Words that need to be restored to their pristine sense.
Fantastic, wonderful, awesome, great, etc.
We Americans, apparently, find it difficult to express admiration or approval or to make any distinction between a good sandwich and the Grand Canyon—they are both "awesome," which properly means inspiring awe, just as awful does not mean "poor" or "bad" but inspiring dread. "Fantastic," obviously means, having an imaginative appeal, thus bizarre or belonging to the realm of imaginative fiction. Thus, "Kubla Khan" is a fantastic poem. We can lower the tone a bit by saying, "that story of yours is fantastic [that is, not worthy of belief], but that is as far as the word may be stretched. People who routinely misuse "fantastic," "wonderful" and "awesome" are depriving the rest of us of some part of our ability to make sense of the world.
3) Words that have been perverted and need to be purged.
Mature, adult.
These used to mean, respectively, ripe and grown-up, now refer almost entirely to pornography, much as "gentleman" means someone who frequents strip joints and lap-dancing establishments. Adult is rather a technical word, referring to organisms that have achieved their full growth or human beings that have reached some legal age. Mature is deeper and can have the sense more of seasoned, ripe in years. We fan refer to "mature wisdom" or a "mature wine." It is too good a worse to waste.
4) Words that need to be revived
This is the hardest category, because it is easier to point to current enormities (a word that does not refer to size) than to beauties or virtues that have disappeared. When I woke up two nights ago, I became aware that in my dream I was pondering the meaning of "hove," the original past tense of the verb "heave." We use the word today, mostly, to refer to vomiting or to some geographical eruption or, in some cases, to the act of flinging something. Originally, as its German counterpart heben indicates, it meant to rise up or cause to rise up.
The original sense of the word is preserved largely by nautical usages, where "to heave" means primarily to raise, whether the sail or the anchor. To "heave to" is to set the sails in such a way that the ship stops. By contrast, the phrase "heave into view" (past tense hove) means to come up into view, presumably over the horizon—a lovely and precise meaning. If we recover the primary sense of the word, we can make better sense of the geological uses, as in "the volcano heaved up a great mass of lava."
This is just a start. I don't know quite how to handle sequels. Perhaps one column of new stuff per week, prefaced by the quoted opening paragraph on the Goddard film? I'm open to suggestions. However we end up handling it, I am going to keep a master file, in which the words and phrases are more or less alphabetized within the four categories. Please send in your own proposed eliminations, purgations, and revivals either as a comment or as an email to the Webmaster.
Dr. Fleming, Would the word "terrific" fall in category 2, as well? I always think about the former meaning of terrific when I hear the song Home for the Holidays, where "the traffic is terrific." The word "gay" has obviously been perverted, and should probably be eliminated altogether, or at least shelved for a generation or two...
The estimable Fr Hunwicke had something useful to say about this sort of thing only yesterday:
The word "urban" has become a euphemism for black, despite the fact that most of the historic experience of black Americans has been rural.
Excellent contributions, which I intend to rip off ASAP. As a young boy I was puzzled by W.S. Gilbert's line (Katisha sings it in The Mikado):
"But to him who's scientific
There is nothing that's terrific
In the falling of a flight of thunderbolts."
Ethnic terrorist ideology generates a whole slew of terms like urban. Today, "teens" is used to refer to a gang of marauding Negro "youths" (another one!) aged from 12 to 25.
Thanks for the link to a useful and amusing piece. In one of old pieces, I took up issue--and problem, which is also misused even by Fr. Hunwick, though that is probably now a lost cause.

Just a new idea I'm trying out. Once a week, I'll take a comment I make from elsewhere on the web, and turn it into a blog entry. Nothing will change (not even to refine it)… except I will go out of the way to linkify it completely. The idea here is that it will spark discussion in new ways, as new context is built (from both the links, and from having it be the kick-off of discussion… rather than a response buried on some thread).
Please, let me know what you think, comments are appreciated… especially since, well, I don't think this has been done before…
I think AT&T has some very good plans for iPhone… but you do have to search hard to find them. For example, we just posted in the forums how to get a data-only plan via GoPhone (by rolling over your balance, and then cashing out the balance in the form of a check after a year… check the AT&T forum for details since you have to do it properly). That brings the cost of iPhone as a data-centric device to only $20/month.
Does Sprint offer a data-only plan (with prepaid minutes and SMS) for $20/month? No, but they do offer SERO, which is probably just as attractive (if not more so). But, you have to understand market forces… AT&T is the largest wireless carrier customer-wise in the nation. They don't need to price as aggressively as Sprint does.
With the ringtones… Apple intentionally left the iPhone easy-to-hack in this regard. Anyone reading this site can find iFuntastic (we're hosting the latest stable version in the Software section of this site). Seen Apple blocking that in the latest iTunes update? No, they didn't from all external appearances, though some apps will need a simple update. While I don't know what the future holds for iPhone firmware, I doubt Apple will aggressively attack users who want to upload their own ringtones free of charge… they just need a few Google searches to find out how.
iPhone's inferiority/superiority is in the eye of the beholder. Clearly there are areas that iPhone advanced… that the phone industry hasn't stepped up to the plate to yet. Considering iPhone's features have been in-the-wild for six months or more, that's a pox on the phone manufacturer's houses. Most phone buyers don't know the difference between 2.5G and 3G… sorry, but they really don't. If they did, Apple probably would have put 3G in it. iPhone continues to garner positive reviews despite the lack of 3G… it just is a turn-off the most to phone addicts. I never thought I would be fine with an EDGE device in perfect HSDPA coverage… but I still take an iPhone over the bevy of 3G devices I get sent every month.
If you go back and watch the Macworld video, you'll hear one or two loud booings when Steve announced iPhone was EDGE. One of those was me. Guess what? iPhone's Safari covers the spread… at least until Apple comes out with a 3G iPhone. Granted, it won't cover the spread for everyone, but then again, I point to the fact that the rest of the industry hasn't come through with compelling answers to iPhone as a complete offering.
As to Sprint's advertising, I agree completely… we've posted editorial after editorial criticizing Sprint's terrible history with advertising new, compelling offerings. Unfortunately, as the Sprint Ahead/SprintSpeed ad campaign has shown, Sprint's new ad agency can't seem to get a grip either. While there was huge promise with the UpStage ads, Sprint hasn't followed through with similar counterparts for the Mogul or RAZR2.
Probably worst of all, the same people that made the UpStage ads, are responsible for the awful Sprint Ahead/SprintSpeed ads… it makes no sense why they made such a stark change of course, but I suspect the ad account changed from one leader to another, and away went the compelling ads.

The British Fertility Society says that patients should be warned that there is no evidence that the therapy will help them to have a baby.
Studies had suggested that the traditional Chinese medicine could be beneficial and thousands of women are thought to use acupuncture to maximise their fertility treatment.
But a comprehensive review of all the available research shows no evidence of any benefit.
No matter when the acupuncture was given, there was no significant effect on the rate of birth, pregnancy or miscarriage, experts who looked at 14 studies involving 2,670 women said.
An estimated one in seven couples have trouble conceiving and there are around 33,000 cycles of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) carried out in Britain every year.
Prof Adam Balen, chair of the society's policy and practice committee, said: "The British Fertility Society wants to ensure that all women receive the safest treatment when undergoing fertility procedures, while also maximising their chances that the treatment will be successful.
"Before any treatment can be accepted into mainstream medicine and used on patients, it is essential that it has been tested … to ensure that it does actually work and does not cause any harmful side-effects."
He added that there was "currently no evidence" that acupuncture aided fertility treatment.
"Patients should be made aware of this fact before commencing treatment," he said.
The experts also found no evidence that Chinese herbal remedies were beneficial to women undergoing the treatment.
Prof Edzard Ernst, professor of complementary medicine at the Peninsula Medical School, said that the findings were a "long-overdue clarification".
"Infertile women have been misled for some time now to think that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can help them getting pregnant," he said.
"This analysis shows two things very clearly: the totality of the acupuncture trials does not support this notion, and for Chinese herbs, we have no evidence at all.
"This will help infertile women not to waste their money or get disappointed by TCM practitioners who behave less than responsibly when recommending these treatments."
The new guidelines are published in the journal Human Fertility.

In this section we'll have a look at how the Law Of Attraction works for Depression
Sadness, anxiety, and hopelessness all rolled into one can rapidly mutate from a minor issue to a severe problem if you don't get control of the situation fast.
Not everyone wants to go on prescription medication to alter their mind in an effort to deal with depression.
Some people prefer to handle it naturally. The law of attraction is one of many methods you can use to handle the symptoms of depression once you recognize that's what's happening to you.
The law of attraction is a way of life. It's not a magical formula where you wake up one morning and wish that the universe would make you feel whole again. And it's not someone asking you to put on a happy face and lie about how you're feeling.
The law of attraction is a practical mindset shift to bring you the ultimate happiness and quality of life that you deserve.
You Are Manifesting Your Depressed State
If you already know that you suffer from depression, it's guaranteed that you're manifesting it yourself.
That doesn't mean bad things haven't happened or that you have to sweep it under the rug and pretend everything's rosy.
What it means is, for too long, you've been living your life chained to what's negative in your life and not enough time bringing good things to yourself.
Going to bed and waking up every morning depressed is a sign that your thought patterns are mired in sadness just as if you stepped foot in a lake of quicksand.
You almost can't get out of it and sometimes you feel like the more you struggle, the deeper into a depressed state that you get.
This is true. So you have to stop the struggle today - learn how to slowly recover and avoid falling into this trap in the future.
Manifesting a state of mind means you're actively focused on something specific. When this happens, you get more of the same.
If you're cheerful and upbeat, the world reacts in a more cheerful and upbeat state to you. The opposite is true as well.
So the first thing we have to do is look at what you don't want in life. You're a pro at this.
You're doing it every day (probably all day long).
You're focused on everything bad - your relationship, your career, and your failures.
So let's have one last hurrah with it so you can validate your feelings, and then release them from captivity inside your soul to make room for the better mindset that's going to soothe and comfort you on a day-to-day basis.
Don't be generic when you do this. Find a spot to sit alone and concentrate. Take a notebook with you or do this exercise in your mind, but be very aware of the details.
Make a list of everything wrong for you right now. Don't just say, "I have a bad relationship."
Instead, get specific. Say, "I need more affection from my spouse or partner. I need hand holding and kisses and more intimacy on a daily basis."
You have to get real and pinpoint the problem because one way to heal is through taking action steps, and that's one thing you'll be learning shortly.
You should also write down why all this is happening to you. Is it someone else's fault? Are you plagued with bad luck?
You need to see what you believe has caused this for so long.
Also look at how depression is making you feel physically. Depression isn't just a state of mind - it manifests itself in your body in an unhealthy manner. Does your body ache all over when you feel down? Does your stomach hurt or does it feel like an elephant is sitting on your chest?
Get in touch with that physical emotion so that you'll be able to do things that keep you free of pain and discomfort as you work on letting some light into your life.
What Is It You Want Out of Life?
You need to look at that list and use it as a tool to develop the kind of life that you want.
The law of attraction is about attracting the right things into your life. So if you want affection, you have to give affection.
You might be thinking, "I tried. It didn't work. I made him/her dinner and they weren't appreciative." So you gave up.
Part of what makes the LOA work so well is when you come from a pure and whole place in your heart.
If you go into each change with expectations and entitlement (I did this so he has to do this), you won't get the same results as you would if you did it selflessly.
This is hard to get used to. We sometimes live in a "tit for tat" state of mind. If we don't get what we feel we deserve, our reactions are anger, hurt, and disappointment.
This can tip you over into a state of depression because you are always feeling wronged and let down.
So if you can love for the right reasons, or work without praise because it's the right thing to do, you release yourself from those chains of negativity and open the door for some new, positive feelings to step in.
Instead of feeling bad after an incident where you felt disrespected, you're focused on what you did right - and that is a good feeling.
It's like when you take a name off of the annual Angel tree in the mall and buy toys for a child.
You go into that knowing you're not going to see a reaction or get a verbal thank you.
You simply do it because it's right and it feels good, correct? Your daily life should operate in the same manner.
Just as you made a negative list of what's wrong with your life, or what you don't want, you should now make a positive, ideal life list.
What is going right - what do you want to keep the same? What other lifestyle issues do you want to ask the universe for and make happen for yourself?
Do you want better health?
More wealth?
Enhanced beauty?
It's all at your fingertips if you are ready to embrace a radical change in your thought processes.
It's done using a two-step process - changing your mindset, and taking action steps.
Start by recognizing that those causes you blamed in the last section are not real or true.
The cause of your state of life is you.
If you're in a bad relationship or bad career, it's because you've allowed it.
This is a harsh realization to make, but it's a reality. If you had changed your mindset and action steps earlier, you wouldn't be in this position.
Don't beat yourself up about it, though - because you're making change now - and that's something to be highly proud of!

Bringing small children to church need not be a stressful experience. Don't worry if your children make a noise or want to run around. If they need to let off steam you can use the crèche. There are also toys and books in the children's corner at the back of the church. The crèche is staffed by at least two helpers and meets next to the church hall while the older children have their teaching groups. You are welcome to stay with your child or leave them to play while you return to the service. We will call you immediately if your child is unhappy.
You can meet the crèche helpers in the children's corner when you arrive. Please let us know if you need any help during the service. There are nappy changing facilities in the disabled toilet in the church hall and children's drinks are served at the front of church straight after the service.
Children can join Sparklers when they turn three years old and stay with us until they finish year 1 at school. We meet during our 10.30 service at Warwick road to pray, play, sing and learn from the Bible in all sorts of ways and make brilliant craft. We meet every week except when there is an all age service.
Spotlight meets during the morning service at Warwick Road each week except the first Sunday of each month (when there is an all-age service) and is for Children from Year 2 to year 6. The children participate in the main service for 15-20 minutes then go down to the hall for Spotlight. Activities include; exploring the Bible together games crafts dramas and quizzes. More details from Jeannette.
LIGHTHOUSE is our after school club, meeting at Prescott Avenue on Thursday afternoons. More details from Jeannette.

Have you come across one of these?
We first encountered one in Basel, earlier in the year whilst standing outside the cathedral.
At the time, we weren't sure what it was/what to do/how it worked. Until this evening, I still wasn't really sure, but a recent post on the Moo blog piqued my interest and curiosity again and finding that we have barcode scanners on our Nokia N95 phones, of course, I just had to find out more.
So there we are. Another mystery solved.
See if you can decipher this green one - a small prize for the first person to find the link and leave me the answer in the comments! (Nokia N95 phones aren't essential!)

Season 11, Episode 13
Passover and Easter are just around the corner, so, how have they changed over time? On this episode of Friends Talking Faith with The Three Wise Guys we'll discuss faith, Passover, and the changes in Faith traditions over the course of time. It has been said that the only unchanging reality in life is that things will always change. How does that affect our sacred traditions, especially around important holidays within the religious community? We'll ask the Rabbi to guide us through important ways that the celebration of Passover has seen changes over thousands of years and we'll compare that to Christianity and Islam especially in relation to Easter and Ramadan. Our conversation about change and religion, especially how it relates to Passover, Easter, and Ramadan – that's coming up on this installment of Friends Talking Faith.
