We seek to heal the physical, and emotional needs of the poor through the provision of excellent medical and dental care in conjunction with local Christian medical/dental professionals who work with us while we are in their country.
Our Story
Our current ministry efforts to provide medical care, clean water, and pastoral training to underserved populations in Central America began at Crievewood Baptist Church in 2001 where a group of interested church members from this small church in Nashville, Tennessee felt called to offer basic medical and dental care to the people of Honduras.

I ordered my own packet of this product as I was so impressed with the comfort and the improvement it made to a bed sore when applied by the local nurse and I wanted to have a handy supply to use if I needed to change it in emergency between visits. They are easy to apply and even when used for a while it did not adversely affect the surrounding skin. At first the sore was red raw but by applying the silicone pad it did not stick and pull of more skin and gradually it has healed. As it includes the padded foam it takes away the pressure when sitting which makes it more comfortable.

With the brand new Infinity Pass already wooing nearly a thousand amateur riders over the past month, registrations are now open for the individual events of the 2019 Haute Route Cycling Series.
As of today, you can now register online for one of the 13 events in Europe, North America and Middle East. Places are limited for each event, and with the Infinity Pass a number of events have already filled up a significant amount of slots for 2019. Register today to guarantee your spot on the start line before any of the events sell out.
Whilst the detailed courses of each event will be revealed in the coming months, the host towns have already been confirmed for each event. During the registration process you can also purchase an accommodation package, designed to meet your every need and offer the best possible experience so you can concentrate on your riding.
The headline events of the Haute Route that have allowed it to become world-renowned as prestigious multi-day events, the Haute Route Alps, Haute Route Pyrenees and Mavic Haute Route Rockies, revealed a number of prestigious host towns for the 2019 iterations.
With a course taking the opposite direction to previous years, the Mavic Haute Route Rockies will set off from Colorado Springs on June 22nd and finish in Boulder a week later on June 28th with stopovers in Breckenridge and Avon in-between. Riders will take on an uphill time trial in Avon in the middle of the week, a highlight of the past two editions.
The Haute Route Alps and Pyrenees events will also return to a number of towns that alumni riders will recognise. From the 17th to the 23rd of August, the Haute Route Pyrenees will revolve once again around Pau and the Bearn region. Simplifying logistics, riders will get to sleep three nights in Pau, two nights in Bagnères-de-Luchon and two nights in Argelès-Gazost. The course will feature a new time trial course in 2019, up the stunning Col des Spandelles, a true hidden gem of the Pyrenees.
For the second year running the Haute Route Alps will run from Megève to Nice from the 25th to the 31st of August, stopping in Courchevel, Alpe d'Huez, Serre Chevalier and Pra Loup on the way. For the first time in its history, the time trial for the 2019 edition will take place on the mythical slopes of the Col d'Izoard.
Brand new to the Haute Route calendar in 2019, Haute Route Oman (Muscat, 1st-3rd March) and Haute Route Mexico (Valle de Bravo, 18th-20th October) will top and tail the 2019 series.
The Haute Route will have five stopovers in Europe over the Summer and into early-Autumn, the Haute Route Dolomites (Cortina d'Ampezzo, 7th-9th June), the Haute Route Alpe d'Huez (Alpe d'Huez, 12th-14th July), the Haute Route Norway (Stavanger, 2nd-4th August), the Haute Route Stelvio (Bormio, 20th-22nd September) and the Haute Route Ventoux (Bédoin, 4th-6th October). After taking place in Predazzo in 2018, the Haute Route Dolomites will move to Cortina d'Ampezzo from 2019, a renowned mountain town surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Dolomites.
The USA will also host three different 3-day events in 2019, with Haute Route Asheville (Asheville, 17th-19th May), Haute Route Utah (Cedar City, 23rd-25th August) and Haute Route San Francisco (San Francisco, 27th-29th September).

We are pleased to have newly joined the Schools & Agents community and would like to introduce our school and ourselves.
About the School
Our school, founded in 2004, is located at the centre of San Sebastián – the capital of the island of La Gomera. Surrounded by the local community, five minutes' walk from the bay of San Sebastián and with the mountains and national park as a backdrop, the setting of our school couldn't be more idyllic.
Summer Courses
The 2018 season starts June 17th and will continue through until August 26th 2018. Our most popular course is our 1-week Culture & Education Tour. Students choose to study Spanish, English, German or French all taught by our qualified native teachers. Afternoons are for adventure and exploring! Students can participate in yoga sessions, island excursions, water sports as well as visiting exciting points of interest.
Student Life
Island Learning is more than just a language school. We offer a total immersion experience where students have access to many different opportunities to learn and practice their communication skills and to connect with local Spanish speakers. Excursions have been designed for students to come away with a richer understanding of the island's unique history and culture. Students can experience diverse excursions such as climbing to the highest point on the island, Alto Garajonay, hearing the UNESCO protected whistling language, Silbo, or watch men scramble to the top of a palm tree to tap it's syrup called Miel de Palma.
About La Gomera
Also known as the magical island, La Gomera is one of the smaller islands of the Canary Islands archipelago. Nevertheless, it has an enormous amount to offer each and every visitor. From water sports to mountain hikes, gastronomic delights to yoga on the beach at sunset, La Gomera has something to offer everyone and visitors can't help but be captured by its spell. Only a stone's throw from better known Tenerife, La Gomera couldn't be further away from the hustle and bustle of the busier islands. Our school is ideal for students who want to participate on a short course, learn while on vacation and experience island life first hand!
There are still places available for summer courses – for more information or to work with us directly please contact us email@example.com

Cincinnati is caught up in the nation-wide paradigm shift concerning what makes a community attractive. Like many other older American cities, ours is growing with new residents and businesses for the first time in two generations. Nowhere are our improved fortunes—and new challenges—more evident than in our urban basin, home to both Fortune 500 companies and crushing poverty.
Elected officials and community leaders all talk about the need to maintain a mixed-income, racially diverse, inclusive Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Mostly they have focused on the creation or retention of low-income housing and rent-control policies, often as a prerequisite when building new, market-rate units. While these approaches can do much for many, they are not fully effective at reducing total housing costs, because rent is only a part of the problem.
My argument is simple: eliminating the absolute need for car ownership and the requirement to provide off-street parking will have the immediate effect of reducing the cost of living in the Downtown and Over-the-Rhine areas. Smaller housing costs mean that the neighborhoods are more affordable for a wider range of people.
I am frustrated with every announcement of new construction in Downtown or Over-the-Rhine, and the inevitable inclusion of off-street parking. I am frustrated because car ownership is a huge expense, and the cost of building all this parking is a huge expense. In the context of creating a mixed-income neighborhood, then, we aren't putting our money where our mouths are. The typical American household spends almost $10,000 a year on automobile-related expenses. And as a society, we have failed horribly at capturing the cost of negative externalities associated with all our driving, such as: urban flooding, pollution, psychosomatic illness, and the 30,000 Americans who die because of cars each year.
How do we adequately move around our city while also reducing the need and expense for costly car-related infrastructure? By funding a better public transportation system and changing the rules.
Cincinnati Metro already does a lot on a shoestring budget; the organization is regularly lauded for the creative ways it stretches each dollar. It could do a lot more with even a modicum of increased funding. First, Metro should work to eliminate stops and increase the frequency of core routes. Transit is a constant trade-off between access and ridership. Does the system touch the greatest number of people at an infrequent rate? Or does it focus on frequency and therefore ridership numbers along core routes? Metro should tip the balance of this equation toward ridership, an easy goal in hilly Cincinnati. Second, it should focus on building more defined stops and transfer points. Bus stops with more effective shelters—including cover from the elements and a bench—would increase route visibility and provide needed protection for its riders, as well as a space to post route maps and timetables. Providing faster, more frequent service between our neighborhood business districts (NBDs), primary jobs locations, and shopping destinations is the smart way to move people for work and pleasure.
While transit funding can be affected by City Hall, our local government's major contribution to the creation of more broadly affordable housing should be to eliminate minimum parking requirements near the city's NBDs, particularly within the urban basin. Note that this move would not forbid the creation of off-street parking; it merely removes the government mandate that parking must be built. Thus, the market can take over and developers can decide for themselves how much parking is required for a project. Two underlying policies must change for this to happen. One: the City must stop viewing parking as a primary source of income. Instead, City Hall should focus on boosting income, sales, and property tax receipts through increased economic activity in our NBDs. Two: developers and their bankers must become more comfortable with quality access to transit substituting for proprietary parking. This will take time and clear signals from City Hall.
When seeking to create a racially and socio-economically diverse community in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati's leaders fail to take a holistic approach. Rather, they seem to focus solely on the flawed metric of physical housing costs as a means to fight increasing rents and to maintain financial diversity. Their failure to design and fund a superior transportation system imposes unnecessary costs on those at the bottom and middle of the economic ladder. The government policy of mandated minimum parking requirements distorts the market, reducing the efficacy of Metro while costing developers – and the taxpayers who inevitably subsidize them – millions of dollars. Our current policy may have been applicable when first designed, but it is no longer relevant. Indeed, it has failed for everyone, both those with cars and those without.
It is time we design a new transportation system to reflect our changed values and needs.

Before too much times passes I just want to make a quick note of a few things!
First, to say goodbye to Frances Mitchell of Crash Ensemble fame. Under Frances' watchful eye Crash went from strength to strength. She is a force majeur in arts management, brilliantly balancing the tightrope of funding cuts, bringing new music to Irish audiences and a need to increase international profile of the Ensemble. I was introduced to Frances a few years ago by Gareth Costello, very late one evening after a successful Living Music Festival event, and I was immediately struck by her energy and vision. I'm sure Frances will be desperately missed by everyone in Crash, although she's not gone very far – the 46A is a short bus ride out to UCD!
The other thing I wanted to flag before it gets too close are the CMC's Nights of New Music. The first such night is coming up on 23 Feb and all the action will take place in and around the Kevin Barry Room in the National Concert Hall. I've never hidden the fact that I'm a big fan of the CMC's and this is another step in their visible support for new music in Ireland. The project is a clever sharing of resources and audiences as the CMC join forces with the Irish Composers Collective (ICC) and the NCH to provide a nicely packaged whole evening of new music! The first evening is curated by Ergodos and kicks off at 6pm with a performance of new music by Benedict Schlepper-Connolly, Garrett Scholdice and Jonathan Nangle. After the concert there will a break to take in some wine and tapas at the NCH before the ICC performance, with a pre-concert talk at 8pm*. I'm gonna be there, hope to see some of you!
Just in case you didn't know – the CMC tweet!
* Update: Elizabeth Hilliard will not be giving the pre-concert talk as I said before, but will absolutely be preforming in the 8.30pm concert! Sorry Elizabeth for making you jump!!

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Lainey. You get a new topic every Wednesday, and you list your Top 5 books related to that topic. If you'd like to take part, join the Goodreads group, and add your name to the list of bloggers & booktubers!
I love this topic but I'm going to try and speed through because I'm not feeling too great! I won't go into it anymore but being a woman sucks sometimes…
What is Kaycee willing to risk for the sake of love?
And what will she risk for acceptance?
In Sunshine, Tennessee, the main event in town is Friday night football, the biggest party of the year is held in a field filled with pickup trucks, and church attendance is mandatory. For Kaycee Jean McCoy, life in Sunshine means dating guys she has no interest in, saying only "yes, ma'am" when the local bigots gossip at her mom's cosmetics salon, and avoiding certain girls at all costs. Girls like Bren Dawson.
Unlike Kaycee, Bren doesn't really conceal who she is. But as the cool, worldly new girl, nobody at school seems to give her any trouble. Maybe there's no harm if Kaycee gets closer to her too, as long as she can keep that part of her life a secret, especially from her family and her best friend. But the more serious things get with Bren, the harder it is to hide from everyone else. Kaycee knows Sunshine has a darker side for people like her, and she's risking everything for the chance to truly be herself.
The first book I'd really like to re-read is this one. I remember really enjoying it as an ARC, but I didn't enjoy reading it as an ebook! It would be awesome to get my hands on a physical copy.
At first, Jude and her twin brother Noah, are inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them.
Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor.
The early years are Noah's to tell; the later years are Jude's. But they each have only half the story, and if they can only find their way back to one another, they'll have a chance to remake their world.
Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister's recent death.
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it's unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the "natural wonders" of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It's only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who's not such a freak after all. And it's only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet's world grows, Finch's begins to shrink.
Both I'll Give You the Sun and All the Bright Places are books I absolutely adored when I read them, and quickly became some of my favourite reads ever. I'd love to give them a re-read to see if that's still true!
Amy Curry is having a terrible year. Her mother is moving all the way across the country and needs Amy to drive their car from California to the East Coast. But since the death of her father, Amy hasn't been able to get behind the wheel of a car. Enter Roger, the son of an old family friend, who turns out to be unexpectedly cute.
Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen.
That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right.
Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor's avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon's face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here — it's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon's infuriating nemesis didn't even bother to show up.
And these last two I would love to read for the fun of it, as I'm pretty sure I'd still really enjoy them if I reread them now!
Thanks for reading. Which books do you want to reread?
May your shelves forever overflow with books! ☽

"'M' and the Kazama Kimono"
16x12" Oil on Linen
© Vicki Ross
If this wedding kimono could speak...my imagination would be overwhelmed. Randy's mother, Teiko, kept this safe and secure until she handed it down to Randy. It was her sister's wedding outfit...complete with the matching obi, purse, hair ornament, fan, and split toe socks. The undergarment, apparently worn for the ceremony was all white. This was worn for the festivities.
The model happened to be available during a more formal sitting, and I snapped a few pics. She is of an age where life changes happen and sometimes represent a pensive look to the past. This is why I had her looking to the left.
I hope to have other models pose in this kimono. I'm currently practicing with a complete underpainting...'Grasaille' in French means greys; 'Verdaccio' in Italian means greens.
A slideshow of my process is below: (and I've never had so much trouble getting a slideshow put together until this week! Seems like every time I do something, it is totally different)

Naltrexone Therapy Research
There are many discussions regarding the substance naltrexone, an opioid receptor antagonist which blocks the effect of opiates like heroin and central nervous system depressant like alcohol. this drug is marketed as hydrochloric salt under brand names of Revia, Vivitrol and Depade.
It's used for rapid detox in both alcohol addiction and drug addiction treatment. Naltrexone has been found a safe solution for treatment of alcohol dependence, but regarding opioid dependence there are some doubts because the opioid receptors become sensitized and if the patient who is on naltrexone uses an opiate, they might overdose more easily.
In Belgrade, treatment with naltrexone is possible at the private Russian clinic Dr Vorobiev
Here are some news about this drug:
Contrave diet pill found safe, effective [July 30, 2010. / abcnews.go.com]
Researchers have found Contrave pill safe and effective in treatment of obese patients. Contrave is a mix of naltrexone, customarily used for treatment of opioid and alcohol dependence and bupropion, an antidepressant used in treatment of depression and nicotine dependence.
Participants of the study started losing weight 4 weeks after beginning the treatment, and maintained lowered weight all throughout 56 weeks of the trial.
U.S. FDA (food and Drug Administration) will review contrave on December 7. this year.
Naltrexone helps social drinkers quit smoking too [March 29, 2009. / in.reuters.com]
Heavy social drinkers who took naltrexone for 8 weeks experienced significant decrease in drinking rates. Researchers found that among heavy drinkers, naltrexone brought higher results in quitting smoking too than a placebo (80% vs 52%).
Naltrexone helps treat autoimmune disorders [August 02, 2010. / heraldscotland.com]
Low dose Naltrexone is a generic drug that is approved as an aid in battling autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many speakers from all around the world gathered to give their opinions at the first European conference about the drug.
Dr. Tom Gilhooly who organized the conference, claims he has seen beneficial results of thw drug in many patients. He says that the drug itself has little setbacks and is not toxic. The drug is administered in liquid form and costs about 15 pounds a month.

Catacamas is a community of approximately 40,000 people located in the Honduran Department of Olancho. The local population is served by a recently constructed Catholic hospital, Hospital Santo Herman Pedro. There is a severe shortage of specialty physicians in Olancho. The ENT brigade will work at the hospital for five days performing outpatient clinic evaluations, surgical procedures, audiological testing, and fitting of hearing aids.

NBCUniversal is shutting down Chiller, the horror channel that has remained on the air for ten years. The decision comes as a result of the company's difficulties in securing deals with carriers such as Dish Network, Verizon and Spectrum.
In March of 2007, NBCUniversal launched Chiller, a channel dedicated to films and TV shows in the horror genre. The first affiliate to carry the channel was DirectTV. Some of the earliest content to air on Chiller were popular shows like Twin Peaks, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and Tales from the Crypt. Chiller also aired a number of iconic films including The Shining, and Hitchcock classics The Birds and Psycho. The channel later became known for airing lesser-known, small budget films.
Related: The X-Files Season 11 Sets January Premiere Date
Deadline reports that NBCUniversal is axing Chiller after ten years of being on the air. The shutdown will go into effect on New Year's Day. According to Deadline, the decision to terminate the channel was impacted by various carriers who have removed the channel from their lineup. The first major affiliate to drop the channel was Dish Network on February 1st of this year. Spectrum followed suit in late April. Verizon dropped it as well in October. The last major carrier to part ways with Chiller was Cox Communications on November 8th. DirecTV, however, still carries the channel, helping it to reach over 40 million homes.
Deadline's report states that NBCUniversal isn't looking to axe any other channels, and that no staffers will be affected by the channel's impending shutdown.
Horror fans will be understandably upset by the decision, as Chiller was the home for many now-cancelled shows, such as The Outer Limits, the 1980s remake of The Twilight Zone, Unexplained Mysteries, and Urban Legends. Chiller also had its own original series, Slasher, which debuted in 2016. The licensing rates for its second season were bought by Netflix. In 2013, NBCUniversal launched Chiller Films, an offshoot of the channel, to create original films for limited theatrical release.
Chiller was also popular with fans who saw the channel as an outlet for watching small budget horror films. These films make up a large part of Chiller's programming, along with reruns of cancelled scripted shows and reality shows. Of course, with Chiller being dropped by so many carriers, it's also understandable for NBCUniversal to ax the network as fewer viewers were actually able to watch it.

Chiller will go off the air on January 1st, 2018.

How Would They Feel About This Modern City Life: The 52 State Pick-Up Mix, Part 8
We've come so far in this roadtrip mixtape but we're not done yet! I started with Vermont and Massachusetts, went down to the Deep South of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, came up through the mountains and rivers of the Carolinas, West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky, stopped to remix New York, California, Virginia, Tennessee, and Arizona, dropped back down into the Great Plains for Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Iowa, headed west to find the Dakotas, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana, then took a tour of the midwest with Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
So, most weeks I've arranged by region (with the exception of the hip-hop section), but today I put all the "new" states together: New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii. This mix also features a couple dedications to Fry Butter commenters. This first song and state goes out to thepants!
New Mexico
Some DJs plan out their whole set ahead of time, others never plan a thing. I'm about 2/3 the latter, I like to let the sets to be organic to the energy of the moment, but sometimes my editor self wishes I could get a re-do, for when the great idea comes AFTER the moment. In this case, I would probably have put Ludacris's Georgia song in to the hip-hop set and taken out Arrested Development, instead giving the state of Tennessee to Johnny Cash for Tennessee Stud. But, I didn't. And I can't have an American mix with no Johnny Cash. So, with apologies to thepants (that Jill Sobule song is good too!), but hey, the up-side is that the Land of Enchantment (yes, that's their slogan!) gets Johnny Cash.
New Jersey
No, that's not Bruce Springsteen's version. Yes, his is more famous and it seems like a Springsteen tune, but it's not, it was written by the brilliant dark scamp Mr. Waits about his wife in New Jersey. There are actually a good number of Garden State songs that sing the praises (or simply acknowledges) the stereotypes of Jersey girls, but I like this one for not having that. I got no problem with big hair, I've just witnessed north v. south jersey fights and I want no part of it. Let's just instead all marvel that Tom Waits put "sha-la-la" in a song and sells it.
New Hampshire
The Granite State needs a ROCK SONG. Luckily they have one with the band Scissorfight who reps the state as well as ____core (I am afraid to fill in the blank and get it wrong) music. Obviously this is not my genre of expertise, but I can still appreciate some loud crunchy guitars and heavy metal drumming at times. I had no idea that the state was so rough! And the pairing of picturesque New Hampshire scenery cracks me up while he name checks all the places he's gotten stitches, assault charges and put steel-toed boots up someone's a$$. I dedicate this song to Amy Nicole Miller, because they named their band after her favorite lesbian sex act.
"I'm on the road to Alaska, no it ain't Nebraska, but I'm sure if I don't ask her she'll know". I know, I know, it hardly mentions anything specific about The Last Frontier, there's no talk of snow or moose or oil, in fact it's primarily just picked for the word play aspect. But this song is my jam! And I want to drive to Alaska just so I can put this on a list and hear it every hour! I wish there was a better video to go with it, Robin seems to be having a hard time hearing himself while singing, but Barry shows off his rock and roll skills on the electric guitar, as well as his Pantene-worthy hair.
Hawaii is our newest state, the 50th, and the birthplace of our current president, so perhaps sometime in the future, us here on the mainland might get educated on the the Aloha State beyond just simply the term "aloha" (or Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii….or as the set of LOST). This song Hawaii '78, about sadness for how ancestors would perceive the current situation in Hawaii, was made famous by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole aka Bruddah Iz, whose voice you've probably heard in various movies and TV projects, including his version of Over the Rainbow which blew up in the 90s. Sadly, his great voice and inventive ukulele are gone, he died in 1997, before getting a chance to see the explosion of ukulele covers on youtube that he helped inspire. This song goes out to Kawika – I hope I did right by Hawaii.
What songs did I miss? Are there other re-dos I should consider before I get all the way to the end?
angie permalinkNovember 6, 2010 3:30 pm
i hope maile sees this! xoxoxo!
Maile permalinkNovember 6, 2010 8:48 pm
You can't ever do wrong by Hawai'i with Bruddah Iz. Thanks for your post, ray, and for "harassing me"! I like the other songs too.
I was thinking about what other songs you could add for Hawai'i. The song, Country Road, by Paula Fuga seemed appropriate to a road trip mix. Paula was on American Idol a while back, and she also happens to be good friends with my cousin, so I've had the pleasure of hearing her sing at backyard parties. She's awesome.
Here is the youtube link:
Q.V. permalinkNovember 6, 2010 11:30 pm
I was so curious about what would come up for Alaska, mostly because I would have nothing to contribute on the topic of state-inspired song. Nothing!
thepants permalinkNovember 7, 2010 1:26 am
Oh thanks! I'm really touched…
The Johnny Cash is pretty much the only way to go with New Mexico. We have lots of songs about our cites but not many (non-cheesy) ones about the whole state.
I really love this series and you've introduced me to some excellent music so thanks.
(just so you all know my part of the "god forsaken country they call New Mexico" will be enjoying "winter" weather of 69 degrees tomorrow!)
November 7, 2010 8:53 pm
YES! Scissorfight! A slightly different perspective on scissoring than the band, Scissor Sisters, but equally hilarious. What a strange song to represent a state. NH is weird.
BTW, this grouping is hilarious. "New" states, including Hawaii and Alaska.
hsofia permalinkNovember 28, 2010 3:23 pm
That Paula Fuga clip is great! I saw her on American Idol a while ago, but didn't realize she had an album.

Other than KLIA and Dubai International Airport, Schipol of Amsterdam is another huge airport I had been to. It worked as a hub for the Europe air passengers, with people coming in or going out every single minute.
|the national flowers
|airplane up close
|the airport museum
|the airport library
|a few of the airport shops
|the meeting area and reflexology centre
A very convenient place, with good facilities and THE airport with its own mini museum and library, you should not worry as everybody speaks English here and even the immigration officers are friendly. If you want to perform your prayers, there is a meditation room for you to do that.
It was somewhat a wise decision to choose Schipol as a transit point. Hopefully, I could visit other European countries one day and come back to Schipol Airport. Even if you would have to spend your time there while waiting for your next flight, there are a lot of things for you to do and see.

Marble head of Emperor Caracalla
This marble head depicting Emperor Caracalla is an imperial portrait. Portraits of Roman Emperors ranging from small palm-sized statues to large colossal sculptures were distributed throughout the empire. This statue of Caracalla is not large enough to serve as a public propaganda vehicle. It was probably owned by a private wealthy supporter who wanted to demonstrate loyalty.
Caracalla (188 – 217 AD) was Roman emperor from AD 198 to 217. Caracalla reigned jointly with his father from 198 until his father's death in 211. Caracalla then ruled jointly with his younger brother Geta, until he had Geta murdered.
Caracalla's name is mostly recognised today because of the construction of the "Baths of Caracalla", which became the second-largest baths in Rome. Today the Baths are a cultural, artistic, historical and architectural UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Caracalla is presented in ancient texts as a tyrant and cruel leader, an image that has survived into modernity where he is portrayed as a psychopathic and evil ruler. His rule is remembered as being one of the most tyrannical of all Roman emperors. He was assassinated by a disaffected soldier in 217.

This is very powerful! I wish that the more priests were as outspoken as Fr. Casey!ReplyDelete
Most of the churches here in the states don't have communion rails, do your churches still have them? Oh how I wish we still had them, every knee should bow at the name of Jesus and as we receive Him in the Sacred Host.
Great post, thank you.
Hi Daily GraceReplyDelete
Yes, I agree with you, this video is very powerful. I also think more priests should be as full of fire as Fr Casey when it comes to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. In our parish we are blessed to have Eucharistic Adoration every Friday from 7 a m to 9 p m and it never fails to amaze me at how many people, who could come, just don't bother. If the Pope came, we would fill football fields to overflowing (and rightly so) but why won't we turn up for Jesus Himself? That is a puzzle indeed! No, most churches in this country don't have altar rails anymore. Kneeling in something I can't do anymore anyway because I have a wonky knee. However, when I was able to kneel, I did it joyfully, so I feel certain Our Blessed Lord understands. God bless you.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, great comments. There is nothing more irritating to me than the phrase, "Season's Greetings" it makes me grind my teeth! I'll do a photo of the sign on our Church for Sunday Silence.ReplyDelete
Fr. Casey is a lot like Fr. Corapi, we need more priests like them! Priests should always inspire their flock to greater holiness.
I attend the Novus Ordo Mass, (not by choice) and am the only one who kneels for Communion; it would be nice if we used the Communion rails. They are still there, but the center section has been removed. I asked our priest if he would allow those who wish to kneel to use the rails and he said that to use them would be to draw attention to ones self and take away the proper attention to Our Lord in the Eucharist. Sigh. I think he doesn't understand that if he publicly made it an option that quite a few people would use it.
Hello Shirley & WelcomeReplyDelete
I agree with you 100%, priests should inspire us to holiness. I am old enough to remember the days of the "Fire & Brimstone" sermons and I think a little of that today wouldn't go amiss. (Not too much of it though!) Last July, I, by accident, attended a Latin Mass. The priest celebrated with his back to the people, wore a biretta, the whole thing! The church didn't have altar rails but they arranged the two front pews to form an altar rail and everyone knelt to receive Holy Communion. Everyone, that is, except me - I have a wonky knee so kneeling is out of the question for me now. I guess we all have our own preferences so we just have to be tolerant and respect each other. Otherwise, we could end up hanging, drawing & quartering people again. That's what happened in this country in the 16th & 17th centuries.
Thanks for looking in & for your comments. God bless you, Shirley.

In this week's issue, Idra Novey reviews Dave Eggers's "The Parade." In 2000, Michiko Kakutani wrote in The Times about Eggers's first book, "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius."
Dave Eggers's new book, "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," is part autobiography, part postmodern collage, a novelistic "memoir-y kind of thing" that tells the sad, awful, tragic story of how the author's mother and father died within weeks of each other and how he became a surrogate parent to his 8-year-old brother, and tells it with such style and hyperventilated, self-conscious energy, such coy, Lettermanesque shtick and such genuine, heartfelt emotion, that the story is at once funny, tender, annoying and, yes, heartbreaking — an epic, in the end, not of woe, though there's plenty of that too, but an epic about family and how families fracture and fragment and somehow, through all the tumult and upset, manage to endure.
It's the sort of book David Foster Wallace, Frank McCourt and Tom Wolfe might have written together if Mr. Wallace had never heard of Thomas Pynchon, if Mr. McCourt didn't grow up poor in Ireland but middle-class in the suburbs of Chicago, if Tom Wolfe weren't the sort of writer who wears white suits and ice-cream-colored shirts but were a 20-something slacker with a taste for shorts and T-shirts and lots of postmodern pyrotechnics.
"A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" may start off sounding like one of those coy, solipsistic exercises that put everything in little ironic quote marks, but it quickly becomes a virtuosic piece of writing, a big, daring, manic-depressive stew of a book that noisily announces the debut of a talented — yes, staggeringly talented new writer.

Good info for 1st time GSP owners.
Early Spay-Neuter Considerations for the Canine AthleteOrthopedic ConsiderationsA study by Salmeri et al in 1991 found that bitches spayed at 7 weeks grew significantly taller than those spayed at 7 months, who were taller than those not spayed (or presumably spayed after the growth plates had closed). A study of 1444 Golden Retrievers performed in 1998 and 1999 also found bitches and dogs spayed and neutered at less than a year of age were significantly taller than those spayed or neutered at more than a year of age. The sex hormones, by communicating with a number of other growthrelated hormones, promote the closure of the growth plates at puberty, so the bones of dogs or bitches neutered or spayed before puberty continue to grow. Dogs that have been spayed or neutered well before puberty can frequently be identified by their longer limbs, lighter bone structure, narrow chests and narrow skulls. This abnormal growth frequently results in significant alterations in body proportions and particularly the lengths (and therefore weights) of certain bones relative to others. For example, if the femur has achieved its genetically determined normal length at 8 months when a dog gets spayed or neutered, but the tibia, which normally stops growing at 12 to 14 months of age continues to grow, then an abnormal angle may develop at the stifle. In addition, with the extra growth, the lower leg below the stifle likely becomes heavier (because it is longer), and may cause increased stresses on the cranial cruciate ligament. In addition, sex hormones are critical for achieving peak bone density. These structural and physiological alterations may be the reason why at least one recent study showed that spayed and neutered dogs had a higher incidenc of CCL rupture.
