It's the source of life. Humans are approximately 75% water, and we need to drink it constantly or else we risk many negative side effects, up to and including death within a few days.
Many people think water is something they can get from other sources like juice, tea, or soda. Unfortunately, while these do have varying levels of water, it is just not the same as having the pure H2O!
Here are just a few of the reasons you should start carrying a water bottle around with you wherever you go!
Feeling sluggish? Always tired? Maybe you just aren't staying properly hydrated. Drinking water throughout the day allows your body to function properly in everything from muscle movement to organ activity.
Your brain is mostly water content and it also needs to remain saturated in order to stay clear and in focus!
Weight Loss
That's right, just drinking water is enough to begin shedding those extra few pounds. Water helps remove the by-products of fat, makes you feel fuller and reduces hunger, and boosts your metabolism so your body works better!
By replacing unhealthy drinks with water, you're already making healthy choices!
All In Your Head
As we mentioned earlier, keeping hydrated helps your brain think more clearly, but it also acts as a natural headache remedy.
Since a lot of your emotions are tied to your mental state, increasing the amount of water you drink will lead to you feeling better more often! Just think how good you feel when your body is working the way it should be!
Look Great
A healthy and hydrated person will have amazing skin because of what they allow into their body.
Water flushes the toxins out of your body via sweat and other secretions, and acts as a natural moisturizer. This keeps your skin looking clear, soft, and youthful. In fact, it even prevents wrinkles from forming!

Since October 2016, Twitter has touted its daily active user (DAU) growth as the silver lining to its struggling business.
The idea is that even if Twitter's monthly active user base declines (or stays flat like last quarter), continued DAU growth is a sign that existing users are engaging with the social network more.
The only problem is that Twitter has yet to disclose how many daily users it actually has — investors are only given a DAU percentage increase each quarter.
Twitter executives have yet to give a straight answer as to why they haven't revealed the actual DAU number. After guesswork with old numbers was recently done to try and guess the current DAU number, the company finally said in a tweet that it views the number as "competitively sensitive."
Thanks to correspondence between Twitter and the SEC from early June, we have more colour behind the company's decision to obfuscate its DAU number: It doesn't want to be compared to other social networks like Facebook and Snapchat.
In response to a SEC question about why Twitter only gives its DAU percentage and not the actual number, the company explained that it thinks "the absolute number of DAUs is less important than the percentage change in DAUs because the key factor is whether engagement is increasing or decreasing on a relative basis."
"The Company also focuses investors on percentage change rather than absolute DAU numbers to avoid confusion when comparing the Company with other companies that disclose information regarding DAUs, but use different definitions of DAUs that may include different segments of their respective user bases," Twitter wrote.
In Twitter's eyes, disclosing its actual DAU number would unfairly draw comparisons to the 1.32 billion daily users Facebook commands, and Facebook has a slightly different way of defining a daily user than Twitter.
And while Twitter didn't directly address Snapchat in its response to the SEC, the company likely doesn't want to draw comparisons to that app's 166 million daily users either.

Learn more about why your newborn may be crying at http://www.purplecrying.info/
The Period of PURPLE Crying begins at about 2 weeks of age and continues until about 3-4 months of age. There are other common characteristics of this phase, or period, which are better described by the acronym PURPLE. All babies go through this period. It is during this time that some babies can cry a lot and some far less, but they all go through it.
Scientists decided to look at different animal species to see if they go through this developmental stage. So far, all breast feeding animals tested do have a similar developmental stage of crying more in the first months of life as human babies do.
When these babies are going through this period they seem to resist soothing. Nothing helps. Even though certain soothing methods may help when they are simply fussy or crying, bouts of inconsolable crying are different. Nothing seems to soothe them.
During this phase of a baby's life they can cry for hours and still be healthy and normal. Parents often think there must be something wrong or they would not be crying like this. However, even after a check-up from the doctor which shows the baby is healthy they still go home and cry for hours, night after night. "It was so discouraging," said one dad. "Our baby giggles and seems fine during the day and almost like clockwork, he starts crying around 6 pm. He is growing and healthy, so why does he cry like this?"
Often parents say their baby looks like he or she is in pain. They think they must be, or why would they cry so much. Babies who are going through this period can act like they are in pain even when they are not.
In my own case, I know my son was not sick. He was in the top percentile for growth, he giggled and was happy other times Then he would start to cry, and cry, and cry. The doctor kept telling me he is just fine.
After learning all of this, we decided we needed to share this information with other parents. We had to take this information and put it into a statement that told the story about this phase in a baby's life. Dr. Ronald Barr, a developmental pediatrician who has likely done more studies on infant crying than anyone in the world, came up with the phrase the Period of PURPLE Crying. His idea was to explain this phase to parents of new babies so they would know it was normal and they would be encouraged that it would come to an end.
The acronym PURPLE is used to describe specific characteristics of an infant's crying during this phase and let parents and caregivers know that what they are experiencing is indeed normal and, although frustrating, is simply a phase in their child's development that will pass. The word Period is important because it tells parents that it is only temporary and will come to an end.

I apologize for shamelessly posting all these Lauren portraits. I'm just so excited with my camera and all its settings. That's why some pictures are better than others. I think I know which setting to put it on, and it turns out I'm dead wrong (see previous post's graduation pictures). But I'm having fun, and I'm finally somewhat understanding things like aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. I'm a slow learner, but it's coming along. And I must say that this little cutie is getting to be quite the model!

- Hijacks homepage
- Changes default search engine
Browser hijackers are very annoying infections that are often difficult to remove, so many users that allow them to remain on the systems'. Search.searchlcl.com is also a browser hijacker and we highly recommend getting rid of it because its main purpose to replace your browser's homepage or new tab page with its address and force you to use it as a search engine. As a result, you might be subjected to customized search results that may include promotional links in them. The problem is that those links may come from unknown and possibly dangerous sources. Therefore, by using this hijacker as a search engine, you will put your computer's security in jeopardy. We have more detailed information about this infection so, if you are interested, please continue reading to learn more.
To date, we do not know the exact distribution methods employed by this injection's owners, so we will elaborate on the most plausible ones. We believe that this browser hijacker is disseminated using malicious software installers that are featured on shady freeware distributing websites. These installers are usually set to inject a browser hijacker such as Search.searchlcl.com without authorization or knowledge on the part of the user. As far as we know, this particular hijacker does not come with a browser extension, so we believe that a particular installer is used to modify a browser's settings to infect Search.searchlcl.com. Furthermore, we have found that it is featured on a website called Localclassifiedlisting.com, a site that promotes this hijacker and installs it after you click a red "Get Started Now" button. In addition, we know for certain that it comes bundled with applications, such as SwiftSearch, InteliTerm, and TermTrident, among others. Hence, this hijacker has a wide selection of distribution methods, but we have found that it targets US-based users mainly.
Now, let us discuss how Search.searchlcl.com works. While conducting our research, we have discovered that this browser hijacker is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer, — the three most popular web browsers. It is set to hijack the homepages of Firefox and in Internet Explorer, but on Chrome, because it is set to hijack Chrome's new tab page. In any case, this is unacceptable because it is done without your authorization.
If you have decided to use Search.searchlcl.com as a search engine, then we want to inform you that it redirects all of its search results to Yahoo.com, a legitimate search engine. However, this hijacker's developers use Yahoo's custom search. Therefore, they may choose to add additional promotional links to generate advertising revenue. In fact, we think that the main purpose of this hijacker is to make money because it obviously does not provide any useful service that its user base could benefit from. We would like to mention that Search.searchlcl.com has many clone hijackers that include the likes of Search.youremailnow.com, Search.yourclassifiedscenter.com, and Search.yourinterestscenter.com. All of these hijackers work the same and can also advertise shady websites.
Our research has revealed that its promotional links are included at the top of the search results page before the real search results. So the promotional links are separated from the rest of the search results, but that may not be apparent. We fear that Search.searchlcl.com may be used to promote phishing or scam websites or even malware downloads that could obtain personal information about you, scam you or get your computer infected with ransomware and other malicious software.
As you can see, Search.searchlcl.com definitely not a legitimate search engine and it is clear that is was created for the purpose of promoting third-party content using clandestine means. An inattentive user might think that its promotional links are legitimate search results and experience undesirable consequences as a result. We assume that some of those promotional links may promote illegitimate content that may be harmful. Therefore, we invite you to delete this browser hijacker using our manual removal guide.

For over 30 years Hi-Tech Homes have led the way on manufactured (modular) homes, country homes, granny flats and commercial buildings.
The manufactured (modular) concept of building has long been misunderstood by the Australian market. The fact is that modular manufactured homes are the future of residential building in this country.
Modular homes, are simply homes built in a factory in modular components then transported to site (the client's land) and 'put together' usually within 2 days – yes, 2 days!
Modular homes have many benefits over traditional on-site built homes because modular homes are built in a factory. We have far greater control over the quality and build time.
- No build delays because of weather.
- No stopping building when it gets dark or too hot.
- Far greater quality control.
- Greater efficiency and less waste.
- It certainly is the future
Our homes are built to more rigorous standards than homes built on site.
If any builder disputes this then ask them 'can their homes be placed on semi-trailers and sent to the location at 100 km per hour and remain structurally sound?'.
Hi-Tech Homes are continually seeking better and smarter building methods, materials and concepts.
Above all, we are proud of our past and excited by our future.
Best regards,
The team at Hi-Tech Homes

She learned how to use her iPad, a gift from the grandkids. It converted text-to-speech.
She had an indomitable sense of humour.
While I was giving respite to her while hubby did groceries, she once typed, "I wonder when his nibs is coming home?" She'd lost her ability to speak, but didn't let that phase her. She learned to accept care, something many are unwilling to do. They'd rather rage, seek media attention, and bemoan their fate.
While I loathe the battle imagery ('courageous battle'), she confronted her ALS with dignity.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Eastman Kodak ek shares surged the most in five months early Monday, gaining 11% to $3.79 after the U.S. International Trade Commission agreed to review an earlier decision one of its judges had made regarding Kodak's digital-camera patent dispute against Apple AAPL, -4.62% and Research In Motion Limited rimm. Kodak filed the complaint Jan. 14, but an ITC judge ruled Apple and RIM didn't infringe the patents. Kodak is seeking a limited exclusion order for technology used in Apple's iPhone and RIM's Blackberry device. Kodak said the IFC's final decision is expected to be made by May 23.

Shared Spirit: His Sister's Wedding
Moderated by Rachel Stein | email@example.com
The following are some of the responses to the Aug. 5 Shared Spirit column, "Bowing Out of My Sister's Wedding," in which a young man, with his rabbi's advice, decided he could not attend his sister's wedding because she was marrying a non-Jew. Look for more responses in an upcoming issue of the AJT.
Love Your Sister
Provided that the wedding is not on Shabbat or in a church, I would urge the young man to attend the ceremony to show support and unconditional love for his sister on one of the most important days of her life. It is not condoning what she is doing; it is showing brotherly love. Although he has religious standards for himself, which is commendable, he should not impose them on others, especially family. He would not love his sister less and withdraw support if she committed a civil crime, so why should he do it in this instance?
Maybe one day she will correct the sin that he so abhors, but he will never be able to undo the fact that he missed her special day.
— Avrum Mendel
Simple Ignorance
An ignorant side of Judaism was displayed in this article, disturbing to read. This is not the faith community I know.
— Joe Sterling
Follow Convictions
Our message to you is that if your religious convictions prohibit you from attending a wedding between a Jew and a nonconverted gentile, then of course you cannot attend.
My wife and I had an Orthodox Jewish wedding, and a few nonreligious relatives said they would not attend because we were having a mechitza with separate seating and dancing, to which they were opposed. We felt bad that they chose not to come, but we were not about to alter our religious convictions to placate other people — life doesn't work that way. Respecting someone's religious lifestyle means complete acceptance without conditions. Good luck to you; my wife and I are proud of you.
— Mr. and Mrs. Pesach-Yonah Malevitz
Family Love
Bear in mind the words your rabbi and teachers spoke to you: "Live peacefully with your family. Show plenty of respect and love."
Go to the wedding out of love and respect. Attending is not showing your approval of the marriage. It is simply an act to bridge your family. Going will not change how you feel, nor will it be disrespectful to G-d.
— Robin Nelson
Don't Go
This is a difficult dilemma. I think when you choose to be Orthodox, you have to follow your belief system.
I once hosted an Orthodox relative and made sure to serve him foods with reliable kosher certification. I was happy to do that and couldn't have lived with myself had I done otherwise.
That's what families do for each other: Show respect and love for each other's choices, even if they're different from your own.
You cannot and should not attend the wedding. However, make it clear to your sister that your love for her remains. Ultimately, when caring and respect are shown from both sides, a loving relationship will prevail.
— Zhenia Gresczes
Go to the Wedding
My sister died of cancer at 32. She never had a Jewish family. She missed so much that I wish I could have celebrated with her. Would her religion have mattered?
It's your sister. Show your moral superiority by going to the wedding.
— Michael Halpin
BT Blunder
As a woman who was Reform, then became baal teshuvah for 11 years and am now neither, just Jewish, this is maddening and tragic. There is no reason he cannot go to his sister's wedding. He isn't marrying a non-Jew, and it is her choice.
He reminds me of all new BTs. Consumed with wanting to be religious, they lose sense of what is truly important: family, love and respect. When his zealousness wears off in a few years (and it will), the damage he causes his family will be repairable only if they don't follow his example. So sad.
— Chava Canales
Matter of Survival
I know how tough it is not to be able to attend a close relative's wedding because he or she is marrying a non-Jew. But if we as members of the observant community accept intermarriage, we might as well give up on Judaism. The newest Pew report states that 71 percent of non-Orthodox Jews intermarry. What is to become of us?

"Community Health Choice is dedicated to community wellness and knows that schools play a critical role in promoting the health of young children and helping them establish lifelong healthy behaviors," said Amber Buchanan, Marketing Manager for Community Health Choice.
BEAUMONT, Texas (PRWEB) November 16, 2017
Community Health Choice has partnered with GoNoodle to get thousands of kids in Jefferson County moving more at school and at home. GoNoodle's online movement videos and games get kids running, jumping, dancing, stretching, and practicing moments of mindfulness right next to their desks.

|Insulin initiation and management in people with Type 2 diabetes in an ethnically diverse population: the healthcare provider perspective.
|Patel, N

Chauhan, A
Davies, MJ
Khunti, K
|First Published:
|DIABET MED, 2012, 29 (10), pp. 1311-1316
|Diabet. Med. 29, 1311-1316 (2012) ABSTRACT: Aim To explore barriers to prescribing of insulin, particularly delays in initiation, from the perspective of healthcare professionals involved in managing Type 2 diabetes in a multi-ethnic setting. Methods The study was carried out in a UK population with high numbers of people of South Asian (mainly Indian) origin. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 healthcare professionals from primary and secondary care. Analysis involved exploring interview transcripts in terms of themes and sub-themes identified through a process of progressive focusing. Results Initiation of insulin therapy was described as challenging in all patients irrespective of ethnicity, but some barriers were perceived to be accentuated because of language needs and lower levels of understanding about diabetes and insulin. Additionally, some South Asians were viewed as more likely than their white European counterparts to be influenced by negative observations and experiences about insulin therapy within community networks. Time restrictions were seen as a barrier that was accentuated in the management of South Asian patients. Participants suggested strategies for overcoming patient barriers; with South Asians these included involvement of families and patient peers and availability of South Asian healthcare providers. Conclusion The challenge for healthcare providers is to how to address the tension between the optimal clinical time for commencing insulin therapy and the time when the patient feels psychologically ready. To help make these two time points coincide, our findings suggest the need to adopt a holistic approach involving consideration of the cultural context of patients, including their ethnic background.

text: Kanye West's 'The Life of Pablo' Is Hitting All Streaming Services Friday Brandon Caldwell March 31, 2016 Music, News No album in modern times has embraced the digital aspect of current music more than Kanye West's The Life of Pablo. It arrived on February 13th, minutes after West's more than epic Saturday Night Live performance. Since then he's been tinkering with songs left and right, switching bars on "Famous", allegedly fixing "Wolves" and just last night, revealed edits to 12 more songs from The Life Of Pablo. With "Famous" starting to make its way onto radio as the official lead single to The Life of Pablo, other streaming services will now have their hands on the album, which was formerly a Tidal exclusive beginning on Friday according to Mashable. West tweeted last month that the album would never come out on Apple Music or other platforms, just Tidal. In fact, you couldn't even download the album until last night, satisfying those who paid a hefty price for an album that didn't come out for almost a month and a half after its "initial release". Still interested in hearing "UltraLight Beam" in the gym? Or "30 Hours"? Or better yet, did Kanye convince Andre 3000 to add bars to "30 Hours" as opposed to just singing the hook on the back end? Hopefully we get more answers than that. Share this:TweetShare on Tumblr

Questions to Ask Your Doctor About: Diabetes
So you go to the doctor and now what? Knowing what questions to ask can mean the difference between preventing and managing diabetes or developing lifelong complications. We all get a little stage fright when we go to the doctor - we never want to hear bad news. But asking questions can literally save your life. Don't be ashamed if you don't understand the answers, ask your doctor to clarify.
Here are some questions to ask during your next doctor visit!
- How do I manage my diabetes?
- If you have diabetes you want to make sure you are not only take your medications but know what foods to avoid and what complications you are at risk of getting.
- If you take insulin: How does insulin help control my blood sugar? What if my blood sugar drops too much from the insulin? What if my blood sugar remains high after insulin?
- If you take oral medications for diabetes: How does this medication treat my diabetes?
- How often should I take my blood sugar?
- What are the side effects of my medications?
- What steps can I take to get off of my oral medication and/or insulin?
- If you are instructed to lose weight or exercise, don't be afraid to ask for specifics. Losing weight and eating right is different for everyone. Ask questions if you need guidance.
- Can you provide me information for a specialist that can help me lose weight and balance my diet?
- What are the results of my last A1C and please explain what that means?
- An A1C test, shows how well your blood sugar levels were controlled over the past 3 months. This is a great test to know because it can reveal if you are managing your diabetes properly or if you are at risk for developing diabetes.
- What was my last cholesterol level?
- Keeping cholesterol low can prevent a lot of complications from diabetes.
- How will I know if my diabetes is getting worse?
- How do my feet look?
- Sores can develop on your feet and legs so remember to check them and have your doctor check them as well.
- How are the labs for my kidneys?
- The kidneys can be damaged from high sugar levels so you want to make sure they are healthy.
Remember to ask questions until YOU UNDERSTAND how to manage diabetes or prevent it from happening! If you have other health concerns that you think may affect your health or diabetes, let your doctor know. If you can't afford to pay for your medications or to travel to see the nutritionist or other appointments, let your doctor know. Healthcare is expensive so don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for . Doctors and nurses can help you get the services you need to take care of you and your body.
Go be great people!

Priority Processing reduces processing time from 3 days to less than 24 hours, which reduces the time for you to receive your item by 2 Whole Days!
Grapefruit Essential Oil (Citrus x paradisi) from USA is steam distilled from the plant.
The grapefruit comes from a tree with dark green leaves and white flowers. The origin of the tree is unknown but thought to be related to the pomelo which was first brought to Spain from Asia by Arab traders in the 12th century. It traveled from there to the West Indies in the 18th century and this led to the cultivation of the grapefruit in the New World.
Grapefruit Oil derives from cold expression of the fresh peel from the fruit. It can be used in aromatherapy as well as a fragrance in perfumes and cosmetics and a flavor additive.
In Chinese medicine, it is sometimes used to relieve heat and stagnant Qi-energy in the Liver. This stagnant energy is said to lead to abdominal distention, nausea, and constipation.
The astringent, cleansing nature makes it ideal for oily skin, acne, and stretch marks.
Grapefruit Essential has a cooling nature which is said to help relieve conditions of tension, irritability, frustration, and moodiness.

Weird People; Stranger ideas… A Statement on Comparative Religion
I promised today by a friend's encouragement I would check in on the latest community outcry over the discovery that there are people who are claiming they are having valid UPG's (unverified personal gnosis) regarding fictional characters/gods, or those who confuse the "Real" Gods with Pop-media interpretations by the same name.
I am of several thoughts on the matter; first of all- we are dealing with an issue which is multidimensional. I knew a few people in my high school who were very vaguely sensitive to psychic energy; but they were complete idiots and ascribed all things mystical to "dragons." To the rest of us with slightly more ability, we would raise our eyebrows and try to explain calmly that, no, not all psychic energy can be ascribed to dragons because that is the image they attached to metaphysical phenomena in their little heads…. but ultimately, people will believe what they choose to believe. They sensed something "real" they could not fully comprehend, so their minds filled in the blanks the best they could- this has happened since humanity began- it's creative, but creativity is not the same as truth.
This is my personal experience of the Norse Gods:
Personally, I am not a fan of Marvel's interpretation of the Norse pantheon, especially with my connection to Loki- the Loki I know is eloquent, diplomatic, and incredibly resourceful- he is a loner who serves as a nexus of connections for every purpose rather than a "leader" and if given the chance to "lead" a group he would respectfully point you towards someone more willing for the job. Loki is not an antagonist to the Norse, he is a truth-teller of uncomfortable truth…why? Because being stuck in social situations based on lies when your primary attribute is intelligence is almost painful to tolerate; polite niceties, false fronts, and white lies make life more complicated than necessary- and there are other things that need to be accomplished without all the added bullshit. There are Gods who equally intolerant of such things- but they keep such things in check by other means. Where Loki will expose a flaw, weakness, or weak link in a community- Tyr will simply quietly watch the troublesome party until injustice has occurred by their actions and then He will take swift judgement and retribution; especially against those who speak ill against His name- whereas Loki is almost "used" to being maligned.
Vidarr remains silent and absents himself from all conversation allowing his actions to speak for Him…. and when faced with absurdity, Freyr will politely find the company of more rational minds and absent himself entirely. Hela forever remains outside the little nexus and vertices of any and all human interpersonal drama- She prefers to speak to her chosen individually; and likely gives each dead man and woman their time.
I have no idea how Thor handles the raging throngs of devotees and fans he has accrued. If I were him, it would be sufficient reason to drink- but I do not know Him well, and we have only interacted once on His behest. On that occasion, he was extraordinarily gentle in the fact that I was contributing to the whole Loki vs. Thor debacle the American community has concocted and He wished for me to meet Him personally so I could personally hear from Him that He is no adversary to Loki, but instead a close confidant. Also, He asked that when there is a situation that requires Action rather than Diplomacy, to never be hesitant to call on Him. Like His rune, Thurisaz, He can both erect boundaries or remove them swiftly depending on the need.
As for Odin, wise, militant, mad, and brilliant Woten- All Father to most, and Blood Brother to Loki; He is the most unpredictable of them all; when He speaks, you are silent and there is no room for argument- He is Right. But He also speaks in riddles at times, and leaves it to you to discern His meaning when He blesses you with His guidance.
The Norse I know WILL lead you through fire, test you, and temper you like steel- As Lokian, you are to use your mind to find your way, an Odinsperson is to use their intuition….and a Tyrsperson will have their Honor tested again and again. Helspeople will be found to comfort the grieving as well as to assist with transitions of those already passed…. the undertakers of this world may be less seen than they have ever been at any point in history at this moment- but the chosen of the Gods of the dead: Morrigan, Anubis, Hel, Baron Samedi, Izanami, and the Shinigami still exist and their real "work" in this life is not their nine-to-five job.
Those of the Tricksters: Loki, Inari, Papa Legba, Coyote, Eris, and even Odin will always question human rules and limitations- all human laws and rules are transient; divine law is immutable- they prove to us that we will never conclusively know ANYTHING, much less everything- it is the wise person who is more aware of how much they do not know rather than he or she who is secure in what they believe they do know.
There are the peacemakers: Baldr, Frigga, Freyr, Kuan Yin, Buddha, Apollo, and friendly vaetirr- They will stand in fire themselves to stop needless conflict; even the most hardened warrior knows the best battle is the one avoided.
Gods of Love and/or passion: Inanna, Freyr, Aphrodite, Eros, Freyja, Frigg and countless others… Honest Love is more important than any other human goal.
There are those of the Gods of war: Tyr, Berchta, Thor, Ares, Athena, The Morrigan (again), Freyja, Inanna, and Odin- there are actions necessary for change… it would be utopia to live in a world without war- but conflict is necessary for growth.
In fact, Thor indicated most "walk away" from Tyr, for living life as a Tyrsperson is excruciatingly difficult since the demands of what is Honorable leave no margin for error; however, I have also found His demands upon me to be few…but those few are time consuming, put me in the spotlight when my Lokian nature prefers shadow, and oftentimes lead me into direct confrontation with many people's cherished beliefs or life practices which to Tyr, are unacceptable.
If you wish to work with Tyr, you must abide by his rules of unflinching truth, bravery through fear, and occasionally sacrifice for the greater good- you will never be promised wealth, popularity, or any other stupid human desire; but rather, you have the reward of doing "the right thing" for it's own sake- that is the only proper reward given and accepted by a Tyrian….but it comes at the cost of interpersonal relationships at times- and further, it exposes you openly to those who would knock you down equally to those who would support you. He didn't get to keep his hand; he knew the Aesir were lying to Fenrir, and he knew that lies have a price to be paid. Tyr is fairness, judgement, leadership, and war: both the avoidance of war as well as knowing it's necessity; that there will be times in our lives we will need to fight, metaphorically or physically, to keep all from slavery, subjugation, and untruth.
So, we have people worshipping Marvel Thor, My Little Ponies, Gods from S&M novels, teletubbies, and weebles…. What does this all mean? The same thing it has always meant and will always mean- some people do not have the functioning capacity to accurately perceive the reality of mystiscm and therefore, do the best they can with the analogies they have available in their minds. I cannot possibly deny that thoughts and intentions have a power of their own- and according to Plato (as a former Philosophy student) thoughts themselves can be/ may be more solid and "real" than our perception of reality. There are people in Russia who worship the characters of 1990's cartoon show "Tailspin" and a cult in Florida who believes that Elian Gonzales is the second coming of Christ.
We have millions of people who picture Jesus as blonde haired and blue eyed despite the fact that the region in which he was born was entirely Semitic indicating it is far more likely if he existed he would have possessed dark hair and eyes as well as tan skin. People have gone out of their way to make their Jesus look as they do- to make Their God a reflection of them….so too, that is what we are seeing with those who are simply "fans" of spirituality rather than actual spiritual practitioners.
A true spiritual practitioner will never ask you for your subservience- that is given to the Gods alone- they do not care for most human concerns knowing that in being spiritual, most if not all of their needs will be provided for. Most will be tested by poverty, madness, and/or severe illness over the course of their lives which deepens them and allows them greater compassion for others; a bitter man is one who has walked away from his sacred calling…. and I have known several to be "former" clergy/teachers/chosen of Gods. Their auras are marked with silver grey where there used to be gold- and they often fall victim to human trappings of vanity, pride, fame, greed, or paranoia- or perhaps even other things I do not know of and thankfully have not observed yet.
Some Gods will take you back if you stray from the path….other Gods, there is no returning to, ever. People do not like finality, they fear death, and they fear change- yet all three things will be experienced in every single human lifetime. There are people who do not forgive, there are actions that are unforgivable (namely, those who harm innocents without remorse), there are animals in nature that will always kill to survive, there are endings and there are beginnings; life chapters that perhaps some pages of the future have a few words written already, but mostly- you are on your own to create your life and make what choices you will to make your own life tolerable. Most people in the United States, sadly, will have no "life" to speak of- as they age they will grow into increasing self-isolation and allow television and other distractions to take the place of human interaction and communion with nature- they will work jobs with people they hate, and some with create families they will grow to resent simply because they do what is expected of them- these people will never find lasting fulfillment.
Regardless of which religion or path you follow- understand that you will not always "gain" what you put into it- sometimes, there will be windfalls, sometimes, there will be storms- regardless, if you are "called"- you are expected if you accept that call to devote the entirety of yourself to your practices, to reading, speaking, exploring, listening, and even teaching. You are not to seek a title out of pride, but out of necessity to distinguish yourself like a lighthouse so that the lost may easily find you, and in turn, find their Gods. As clergy, your job is to step in as an intermediary to connect a person to the Divine…. then allow the Divine to make of that person what they will.
Not all people are clergy, not all people who declare themselves as clergy are recognized as such by the Gods, and regardless of classes, degrees, certifications or any of that nonsense- a clergyman/woman will be what they are if they are "certified" or not. What is promised is that they will always know that not all questions have answers; and the answers that do exist are not the ones that people usually wish to hear.
There are very few times in life where no work is necessary, (unless one already works too hard-) and our culture is habitually lazy.
Never trust the person who gives the most comforting answer to the difficult questions, because that person is one who is not in the company of Gods, but one who seeks the company and comfort of humanity who will praise him/her for being so gentle.
Some Gods are gentle at times, but most are not. Some Gods you've heard of never existed and never will outside of fantasy, some Gods you never heard of are Real and will continue to exist without your knowledge of them. Your own willpower creates much of the reality you experience- thus, many people can falsely attribute their success of their endeavors to just about anything.
One problem with our culture is we have been trained by monotheism to believe ourselves to be "powerless"- however, even the Bible states "He who has faith the size of a mustard seed may command a mountain to move, and move it shall." Faith does not necessarily indicate a divine influence, but rather a trust in a result.
There is a difference.
So, where do I stand? I can only speak for myself- and my own knowledge is limited to my own personal experience. I am more experienced than some and much less experienced than some others. I believe that people "make up" their own gods all the time much like children make up imaginary friends- however, I believe the relation between that point of view the reality of Godhood is the same as that between an imaginary friend and real, human companion.
I have made references to the shadows on the cave wall in several other postings of mine- what we are dealing with is nothing more than people interpreting shadows on the wall who lack the ability to turn around and see what causes them. People who see shapes in clouds and then bow down before them in worship- despite the fact that the next person to the right of them sees nothing but water vapor.
There are many things in life that we as humans have enough personal power from within ourselves to create and destroy without the help or hindrance of any deity whatsoever.
There are thoughtforms that people have put extraordinary amounts of human energy into over many centuries that persist- they are "real" in the sense that they have been made "real" much like one can create a teddy bear. The teddy bear will act predictably and will be able to do what tasks up to a human's knowledge of how to make it accomplish tasks- (think robotics). However, a teddy bear bares little resemblance to a real bear which, by nature, thinks independently from humans, is not 100% predictable in actions, and although may be studied- may never be reproduced cell-by-cell by humans. In this analogy, I think of Christ as a captured bear, defanged and dressed in garish regalia- his wildness taken from him and forced into the image of mankind where the Jesus-of-the-wild would rally against the exact same people who would have him forced to be imagined in such a way. Jesus is not a God of the rich, the judgmental, or the corrupt….and yet, to those same people he is their greatest tool for manipulation of the masses. If the Nazarene ever existed, He would not be recognized by the majority of his followers if He materialized in front of them.
Same goes for Thor, these days….Loki, Odin, Bastet, Isis, Brigid, or any other popular God or Goddess you can name.
You will not know the true spiritualist by their friends, you will know them by their loneliness….though their friends may be many, most of their time will be in the company of very very few- since their time, ultimately, belongs first to their devotion to those who sustain them.
Also, as Lokian, I need to state: there are exceptions to every rule. But this is what I do know:
1. Not all who claim to be heathen/Asatru will go to Valhalla- that is for the warriors who die in battle and honorable women- Please pay your respects and give honor to Hela while you are alive for it is better to do so now than apologize when you are dead.
2. Thor abhors purposeless bloodshed. There is times and a reasons for war, but not all are legitimate.
3. Not everyone is cut out to be spiritual; those who have the Gods favor do not care about your disapproval very much- the approval of their Gods is worth more than the approval of any human. Those who do not have the Gods favor will ever be begging for human acceptance.
4. Love and family are worth all sacrifice- However, family is something you create more than something you are born into. Those who are the children of atrocious people are honor-bound to stop the cycles of abuse; and find their own honor and create their own families upon adulthood. We are not beholden to care for those in old age who did not care properly for their young. That is their punishment; poor behavior and injustice overrides any blood tie. Those who harm the innocent are best neutralized and sterilized.
5. Any person can be caustic if they are in the wrong environment; just as any person can be virtuous if given the correct tools and desire to be so. What may be a close friend to one person may not be the healthiest choice for you. Be very wary of people who are liked by "everyone"; oftentimes they are least honest. One who has detractors may indicate that they have the courage to speak their true mind- give all people the benefit of the doubt and make your own judgement on each person rather than relying on the words of others.
6. There are no laws created by humans that are 100% just for all other humans. There is no one experience, perception, or thought that is true for all people, and there is no person who should be revered over any other. All humans are fallible- do not trust those who demand your respect. Respect flows like water naturally- if it must be forced, then it is tyranny.
7. Finally: Keep an open mind; as humans, everything you think you know is suspect to be proven false at any time.
Hail to my patrons, Loki and Tyr- the All-Father, Freyr, and all others who watch over me and those I care for. Hail to those of other Pantheons who have blessed me, Hanuman, Inari, Inanna, Kuan Yin, Allah, and all I may have forgotten.
I raise a horn to the truth that two true spiritual people, regardless of who they worship, will always find common ground!
May the Gods watch over us all- and if they do not speak to you, then I pray that awareness grows to discover why they would not.
I do not have the answers. I only have my thoughts, my experiences, and my personal Truth- and that Truth can change at any moment if I am proven wrong. 🙂

Please let me know if you're looking for a article writer for your site. You have some really good articles and I believe I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to
write some content for your blog in exchange for a

Another thought provoking post. I will have a better response posted either later tonight or tomorrow as first i need to put it paper so is semi coherent.
here is my response,
the topic of U.P.G. has always intrigued me, although i often wonder about some of the so called experiences that are shared mainly because its in my opinion a personal message from the DEITY and should be treated as such.
i have found from my own personal experience that i will have them in the strangest ways. maybe a paragraph in something that i am reading, or maybe even a lyric in a song or even possibly a snippet of a conversation that i happen to over hear. for me its almost like having a light go on inside of my head or sometimes getting smacked in the face with the deity saying here dummy. lol
i also want to say that i believe that LOKI gets a bad rap firstly bad press. secondly i do not find LOKI to be a coddling deity he tells it how it is. ready or not.
another point that i wish to touch upon that you had mentioned is that people will see the Gods and Goddesses the way that we want to envision them. i personally do not have any little statuettes of DEITIES on my alter or any other place. i think it would be unfair of us to attempt to tell the deities if you do not appear to me in this form i will not believe it is you. or worse yet what if the deity does not particularly approve of that particular figure.
and please remember the deities as i understand them expect our absolute best in everything that we undertake from our mundane lives to our spiritual ones.
if i overstepped please let me know
Very good information. Lucky me I discovered your website by accident
(stumbleupon). I've bookmarked it for later!

Today I was listening to a play back of the weekend edition of Woman's Hour on Radio 4. There was a feature about veganism so my ears immediately pricked up, I am a fish eating vegan.
There were all sorts of views being put forward by listeners about different diets. From old fashioned farmers saying meat was necessary for a healthy balanced diet, to die hard vegans who hadn't touched a dairy product for the last 30 years and felt great.
Because the views aired were those of people who had bothered to contact the Radio Station they were strong views about what was best. It got me thinking about how my views have changed on food and how that has tied in perfectly with me entering into mindfulness.
I changed to a vegan diet for health reasons, I was diagnosed with MS and it was a way to overcome the disease. For the 30 years before this happened I had happily eaten meat and not worried about it. The MS recovery programme also required me to meditate so the two entered into my life at the same time.
So all of a sudden I had to think a lot more about what I ate. One of the biggest changes on my diet was cooking without fat. To start with it seemed impossible to think that I was going to be able to make anything! With a bit of thought I can make all sorts now, even chips! It is all about experimenting, trying new techniques and new ingredients.
So strangely, having cut so many things out of my diet, I now eat a far more diverse range of foods. I also enjoy my food a lot more now. Mindfulness has helped me on my journey. It has helped me to let craving for things that I can not longer have pass. It has helped me to accept the changes that were necessary and it has really helped me to appreciate everything I do eat.
Rather than making rushed decisions about what to eat I now focus on making sure everything I eat is helping by body to heal. Rather than just tasting the first mouthful and the last mouthful I savour the flavour and the texture throughout. Rather than rushing through every meal I take time to enjoy it.
Mindfulness really can help you to do amazing things with your diet. Make your first step and come on a Revitalise day. The food is gorgeous and the atmosphere perfect for relaxing and enjoying every moment and every mouthful.

Food Allergy + Art + Fun
If you have food allergies, or know someone with food allergies, you have to check out Food Allergy + Art + Fun. Thankfully, my food allergies aren't life threatening, but they do make me very sick. Most of my family and friends are really supportive but I have met a few people who just have a hard time "getting it" and I know it's probably just because they have never had anyone in their life with allergies before. Tiffany's cartoons are hilarious and relatable. Here are a few of my favorites but you should definitely check out her website!

Thanks for sharing my cartoons! I'm lucky to be surrounded by crazy people who say funny things ~ although my drawings are certainly not based on my real friends and family (wink wink). Your kind words makes me so happy 🙂

The news has been buzzing about the decline of our bee populations, and the dramatic consequences their loss could have globally. According to pollinator.org, an estimated 1/3 of all foods and beverages are made possible by pollinators which is nearly $20 billion worth of products annually.
Without bees, the produce section would be a lot smaller but did you know that you can help protect the pollinators by creating a pollinator-friendly habitat? LawnAmerica wants to spread the word and share two of the easiest ways to make your space more pollinator friendly.
Plant a Pollinator Friendly Space
Choosing an assortment of plants with overlapping bloom periods will provide food for pollinators throughout the season. Here is a list of some native shrubs, trees that bees and other pollinators LOVE:
Flowers –
Early Bloom: Antelope Horns Milkweed, Cream Wild Indigo, Prairie Penstemon, Prairie Spiderwort, and Scarlet Globemallow.
Mid Bloom: Blanketflower, Lemon Beebalm, Mexican Hat, Narrowleaf Coneflower, Narrowleaf Mountain Mint, Purple Poppy Mallow, and White Prairie Clover.
Mid-Late: Baldwin's Ironweed, Dotted Blazing Star, Leavensworth's Eryngo, and Wholeleaf Rosinweed.
Late Bloom: Aromatic Aster, Azure Blue Sage, Giant Goldenrod, Maximilian Sunflower, and Showy Goldenrod.
Shrubs and Trees –
Early: Chicasaw Plum
Mid: False Indigo bush
Mid-Late: Buttonbush
You can find more about these plants at here.
Create a Hydration Station:
Don't forget, like us, bees and other pollinators need water. A single bee visits at least 2,000 flowers daily so as you might expect, bees need lots of water to keep going. During hot summer days, bees will use the water throughout the day to cool down their hive, dissolve crystallized honey, and hydrate after a busy day.
You can help bees stay cool and hydrated by taking a plastic bowl and filling it with water and glass marbles or even rocks. The marbles provide the bees a nice place to land while hydrating.
You can find instructions to build a hydration station here.
