September, 2000
Dear Doctor,
The health food industry is at it again. It's propaganda machines are cranked up into high gear -- spewing out tons of garbage on the purported health benefits of soy products. As usual, your patients have been swept off their feet by this heavily hyped and mega financed sales pitch. You are certain to have encountered the soy propaganda yourself -- and you, too, may have found it convincing. After all, the health food industry is quite adept at quoting the scientific literature selectively and out of context.
It is our goal to see that all NUTRI-SPEC practitioners, and all your patients, enjoy the benefits of scientific truth applied to nutrition. To that end, we are engaged in a never-ending battle against quackery and charlatanism in the marketing of nutrition products.
Until now, we in NUTRI-SPEC customer service have been dealing with the soy foods issue on an individual basis -- enlightening each of you as you call in with questions or comments regarding the effect of soy on one of your patient's health, or wondering how it might fit into your own family's nutrition regimen. But now, since the soy issue has become a monster of such grotesque proportions, we must deal with it in this Letter.
The soy propaganda machine is a perfect example of how deviously under-handed the natural food industry can be. There are three principle purported benefits for which soy products are promoted -- and each one is ludicrous.
Soy is often included as a source ofprotein in health food products. Your patients must understand that soybeans are entirely indigestible. To obtain a somewhat digestible "food," the soy protein products are severely de-natured by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, not to mention the oxidation exposure as they are blown into a fine powder. Because of their difficulty of digestion, plus their extremely processed and de-natured qualities, these are a deplorable choice as a source of protein.
Not only is the protein in soy toxic garbage because it is so extremely de-natured, but the soy protein is woefully incomplete as it severely lacks the critical amino acids methionine and cysteine (and that is even before you account for the lysine and glutamine and other amino acids that are destroyed in the processing). Furthermore, soy beans contain potent enzyme inhibitors which actually block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion.
So -- soy as a source of protein? You could laugh at such nonsense except that so many of your patients have fallen for it.
Many soy products are promoted because of the chemicals that have been isolated from soy that are anti-cancer. It turns out that every word that the natural food industry says about certain substances in soy decreasing cancer is true. There are several substances that have been isolated from soy that have shown a beneficial effect on a few forms of cancer -- and this piece of truth is what the health food industry has seized upon in their promotions. The problem is that there are even more substances that have been isolated from soy that cause cancer, and the health food industry conveniently ignores that information.
The third promotional point used by the health food industry for soy products is their estrogenic effect. This is the most absurd notion of all. The phytoestrogens isolated from soy are a major problem when used therapeutically, for the very reason that they do have estrogen activity. Almost all people (including both women and men) are suffering the effects of excess estrogen -- which is a damaging stress hormone. Because of their estrogenic activity, these soy products accelerate aging, exacerbate cardiovascular disease, contribute to osteoporosis, etc, etc.
We could cite countless studies from the scientific literature demonstrating the estrogenic effect of soy, and these are some of the same studies quoted by the health food industry. The conclusion reached by these researchers was that they were alarmed by the toxic estrogenic activity of soy products. It was demonstrated that these phytoestrogens from soy have all the damaging affects of estrogen -- including causing breast cancer, inhibiting the thyroid, elevating cholesterol, causing osteoporosis, etc.
All the health food industry did was quote out of context from these articles showing that phytoestrogens have estrogen activity, and then tried to peddle them to women entering menopause. This lack of integrity is the norm in the natural foods industry.
(You have just as big a need for a NUTRI-SPEC LETTER addressing the issue of estrogen damage as you do soy damage. We'll see that you get one in the next few months.)
One of the most common tricks employed by the health food industry in generating propaganda on any subject is shrouding a product with a certain mystique. Mystery and exotica have a tremendous emotional appeal to people -- particularly the most irrational and gullible. Did you ever notice how all of the "healing herbs" are only found in remote parts of the Himalayan Mountains, or in a hidden valley in China, or in one remote, primitive village of South America? Why is it that none of them grow along the highway in Peoria, Illinois?
In that same spirit of magical mystery, a myth of soy miracles has been contrived that attributes low cancer incidence and many other health benefits to the Asian populations who have used soy products as a staple in their diet for thousands of years. This is all a lot of hog wash.
Unlike lentils and a few other legumes that have been used for many thousands of years as a food staple in many parts of the Orient, soybeans have a relatively recent history of use as a food. Furthermore, that use is almost entirely as a condiment, not as a dietary staple. The historical truth on the soybean is that it was designated by the Chinese many thousands of years ago as one of the sacred grains -- but not because it was eaten, but because it was used for its nitrogen fixing properties in soil as part of crop rotation. The soybean was deliberately avoided as a food, as the Chinese knew of its harmful effects.
It took the Chinese thousands of years to stumble across the fermentation process that made soybeans edible (though not necessarily healthful). Even though the fermentation process does eliminate many of the enzyme inhibitors in soy and also the hemaglutinin (which causes red blood cells to clump together), these substances are not eliminated entirely. One way to summarize this is to say that there are a zillion damaging effects from eating soy products, and two of those zillion (the trypsin inhibitors and hemaglutinins) are partially eliminated by fermentation.
You and your patients must understand that, contrary to health food industry propaganda, soy foods a) do not make up a large percentage of Oriental diets, and b) do not have a long history of being consumed in significant quantities in the Orient.
Katz SH. "Food and biocultural evolution: A model for the investigation of modern nutritional problems." Nutritional Anthropology, Allen R. Lis Inc., 1987;p.50.
Here are some other essential facts about soy foods, with references to back them up. Please understand that when we talk about these negative effects of soy foods we are not talking about phenomena that are technically true, but quantitatively not that significant. No -- these damaging effects of soybeans become clinically significant immediately, and with very small intake of soy foods.
The phytates in a soy-based diet (again, contrary to heath food industry propaganda) really do interfere with the uptake of important mineral nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and especially zinc. The soybean has the highest phytate content of any grain or legume. Furthermore, it is highly resistant to many of the phytate-reducing techniques such as long, slow cooking. Asian children who eat significant amounts of tofu and soy bean curd suffer a high incidence of rickets, stunted growth, and other developmental problems.
People who consume tofu and bean curd and soy protein "health bars" as a substitute for meat and dairy products risk not only protein insufficiency, but also severe mineral deficiencies.

The extreme temperatures and pressures that must be used to break down soybeans so that they are palatable, do extreme damage to the nutrients. The proteins are so severely de-natured that they become very difficult to digest and much reduced in their biological activity.
Wallace, GM. "Studies on the processing and properties of soy" J-Sci-FD-Agric V22 Oct 1971 pp526-35.
Furthermore, the extreme processing of soy produces a carcinogen called lysinealine, plus, reduces the content of the important amino acid cystine, which is already lacking to an extreme in soybeans.

One common claim of the health food industry is that soy foods lower cholesterol. Quite the contrary -- in human feeding tests, soy products did not lower cholesterol, and in fact, more often raised cholesterol levels.
Wolfe, BM. "Elevation of VLDL cholesterol during substitution of soy protein for animal protein in diets of hypercholesteremic Canadians" Nutri-Rep-Int V32(5)Nov 1985 pp1057-65.
Are you beginning to get the big idea here? Yet to come (in next month's Letter) is the story on how soy foods:
cause cancer
cause premature aging and tissue destruction with rancid fatty acids
poison you with hexane and other chemical solvents
cause breast cancer and fibrocystic breasts
destroy thyroid function
inhibit brain development in infants
cause kidney damage
contribute to Alzheimer's disease
damage the pancreas
turn little boys into girls, and little girls into pathological pigs
cause osteoporosis
destroy libido
Get off the soy!

Lallia by E C Tubb (1971)
Earl Dumarest needs to get off planet fast and when he sees a ship's handler killed in a bar fight he tracks down the man's ship and signs on for the suddenly vacant post. However, the ship in question turns out to be a decrepit tramp freighter with a fatalistic captain that is bound for a treacherous region of space known as the Web. What at first seems like just a bad choice of ships soon turns into a life and death struggle as Dumarest fights for the life of a woman accused of witchcraft on a backwards world and the growing realisation that someone is on his trail for some mysterious reason.
The sixth volume in the Duamrest Saga, Lallia is a change of pace from the standard formula of Dumarest landing on a planet and getting caught between a struggle for survival and the machinations of the galactic nobility. Here, most of the action takes place aboard a spaceship that is one passage away from the scrap heap–if it doesn't break up on the way. It's a hard, constricted life of going from one planet to the next in search of profitable cargoes, dubious passengers and crew mates who range from the idealistic young steward to the murderously alcoholic engineer to the weirdly spiritual navigator and the captain who has been so crushed by the enormity of space that he can't bear to look at it. Along the way, Dumarest becomes involved with Lallia, another traveller like himself who falls in love with him. It's unclear whether he shares that love, but he does accept her as a companion and possibly a wife with whom he can settle down. This being a Dumarest novel, neither happens and while he receives another clue as to the whereabouts of Earth, he also learns more about the secret he never knew he possessed and has made him a hunted man.
Lallia is a neat little gear shift for the saga. The villain of the piece is no surprise, though the logic of the plot and its resolution is neat and clean. We also get a chance to see Dumarest in an environment that isn't one of constant crisis, but one where we can see more of his personality; his likes and dislikes as well as the wary hardness that separates him from his fellow man.
A lean spare adventure, it's also one of the strongest in the series so far.

On the evening of October 3, 2011, Su Zhen Chen heard a knock at the door. In the hallway outside her apartment on Avenue D stood three soldiers. Su Zhen doesn't speak English, and none of the men spoke Taishanese. She couldn't understand what they were telling her, but figured it must have something to do with her 19-year-old son, Danny, an Army private stationed in Afghanistan. She called her brother in Staten Island, and he handed the phone to his wife, Melissa, who speaks fluent English.
The soldier on the other end of the line asked her who she was, then quickly got to the point: Can you tell Danny's parents that Danny died? Danny had been on guard duty, the soldier told his aunt, and had been found with a gunshot to his head. He's dead, he said. Can you tell his mother that?
Melissa turned to her husband. What am I supposed to say?
Just say whatever you heard.
So she did, telling Danny's mother, They said he died. He had a gunshot to his head.
At first, Danny's mother did not seem to understand. Okay, she said. He has a gunshot to his head. Is he okay?
No, Melissa said. He's dead.
Slowly, the news sunk in. In Staten Island, on the other end of the phone line, Su Zhen's relatives could hear the sound of a long, tortured scream.
Danny's mother had never wanted him to become a soldier. If it had been up to her, after high school he would have attended a college close to home and grown up to be something else, something safer. Maybe a pharmacist. Danny was her only child, born in 1992, just five years after she'd immigrated to New York City from the Taishan region of China and three years after she brought over her husband. Growing up in Chinatown, Danny had always seemed an exemplary son: obedient, studious, devoted. And very attached to his mother. While Danny's father, Yan Tao Chen, had put in ten-hour days working in the kitchens of Chinese restaurants, his mother had been the one who raised him.
She didn't want to see him join the Army, and made it known. Danny told his best friend, Raymond Dong, that he feared his mother might disown him if he enlisted, so he signed up without telling her first. But Raymond agreed with Su Zhen; he too thought Danny would be better off sticking around New York and earning a degree, maybe at Baruch College, where he'd taken prep courses the summer after high school. You could do a lot better than join the Army, he told Danny. You're so smart. It was true: During his senior year, Danny would fall asleep in math class, wake up when the teacher called on him, and still give the right answer.
But in a community of immigrant strivers, Danny wanted something different for himself. During his senior year, while everyone else was polishing their college applications, he was dreaming about the Army. Many Chinese-American families with just one son won't let him join the military, since sons are so highly prized in their culture. But this did not deter Danny. I want to live for myself, he told Raymond, not for someone else.
When asked about his decision to enlist, his friends and relatives offer up myriad explanations: He planned to join the NYPD and thought the Army would be good training; he wanted a steady income to help support his parents; he thought college would be boring; he loved action and adventure, and wanted more of it in his own life; he was anxious to test himself and prove his mettle. Perhaps he was hoping to strike out on his own, to put some distance between himself and his parents. But one fact looms over all the others: He joined the Army because he wanted to, not because he needed to, and knowing all the while that he was likely to be catapulted into a combat zone. In fact, he was eager to get there. hooah for leaving, he wrote in his diary on his way to basic training last January. Excited as heck.
Nine months later, he was found dead in Afghanistan of what the Army has described as an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Since Danny Chen's death, details of his story have slowly emerged, relayed by Army officials to his family. A group of his superiors allegedly tormented Chen on an almost daily basis over the course of about six weeks in Afghanistan last fall. They singled him out, their only Chinese-American soldier, and spit racial slurs at him: gook, chink, dragon lady. They forced him to do sprints while carrying a sandbag. They ordered him to crawl along gravel-covered ground while they flung rocks at him. And one day, when his unit was assembling a tent, he was forced to wear a green hard-hat and shout out instructions to his fellow soldiers in Chinese.

7 Positive Ideas for 2017 Instead of Resolution Making
Some Ideas for 2017
2016... *whew* what a helluva year regardless of what anyone says. I cannot complain as it wasn't all that bad to me personally however it wasn't fantastic meaning I didn't get laid, nor had any whirlwind romance in my life, no fancy dances or parties to attend, and my life was pretty normal (re: droll). LoL
Others however are bemoaning everything from their general bad luck throughout the year to their worst fears come realized as tRUMP takes the POTUS. We've lost a lot of good celebrities this year and many we grew up with from musicians to artists to actors to poets and authors. These folks have helped to shape our thoughts, ideas and even creativity so seeing icons like David Bowie, Gene Wilder, Morely Safer and Arnold Palmer tends to make us feel longing and remorse for our youth.
I've noticed but it seems that even numbered years are hard on folks - at least on social media. It seems they seem to take Mercury Retrogrades far more seriously, with celestial events and even world news even more critically. There is much fear mongering that goes on in social media and it is disturbing. For 8 years we heard the GOP sympathizers habitually bitch and complain about "that negro in the white house" (to say it politely) yet now that the orange skinned reality TV freak has won his seat, there is going to be at least 4 years of the same on him from the other side of the fence.
Yes it has occurred to me to close my FB account. Like you, I don't need the hassles of negativity from people day in and day out bombarding me with their nonsense because it tends to take a toll on me just as I know the same thing does to you as well. I may do just that however at this time I'm keeping my options open. Why? It is useful for my website for interaction and my Guild of Sorcery group is doing well.
How to Make Things Better
Typically around this time of year, we start seeing the whole "My New Year's Resolutions Are..." posts which we all know are horse shit because rare is the person who sticks with those things and follows through on them. So instead of making useless and otherwise WORTHLESS promises to yourself aka resolutions, try something new and worthwhile for a change....
1. Choose a new system of divination - so you've been performing Tarot forever and well you're good at it. But you've been wanting to try your hand at some other system perhaps the I Ching? Runes? Astrology? Or perhaps Geomancy? Make a pledge and start studying and divining.
2. Create a new magical persona - let's say you've used Moloch for years and now you want a change. Perhaps your magical moniker has garnered too much (unwanted) attention? Try creating a newer one. Find something worthwhile that has meaning and depth for you not something that just sounds cool which is all too common. Maybe make a magical motto and use the letters of the motto to create a name like members of the GD did back in the day.
3. Try a new system of JuJu - okay so you started out in Thelema and for the past 20 years it's worked out all right thus far but perhaps you've been chomping at the bit to try something more mundane? Maybe you want to find out what Hoodoo candle workings have that Thelema doesn't offer so give it a whirl. Investigate. Perhaps you're more inclined to try something from a book you saw at a botanica? Go ahead. No one needs to know but you and your Secret Chiefs. They can keep it secret but can you? ;)
4. Build a new work table - well some of you still call this an altar. Go ahead and build one with legs so you can stand or sit if you feel like it. Put a glass with beveled edges that lays over the top so you can lay talismans underneath if you want. Paint it cool colors with seals, sigils and glyphs that have meaning for your system fo magic.
5. Begin a relationship with your ancestors - so you've heard about this online in various groups and heard folks like me talk about it yet you're skeptical. Well the only way you're going to know whether or not it is worthwhile is to simply DO IT. Period. There's no other way around it. Thus I suggest reading the essay I wrote in the book, Ritual Offerings (Nephelim Press) by Aaron Leitch OR you can go to my website www.molochsorcery.com and scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the button that says Ritual Offerings which is the entire article I posted to my website back in October with Aaron's blessing of course.
6. Take up a new aspect of magic such herbalism, potion formulating, or dare I say alchemy? - delve into working with herbs, roots, plants, flora and fauna that grows around where you live and find out what is available to you, what it is, how it was used in ancient times and how you can use it today. You may learn some modern medicinal uses and you may also learn quite a bit about its magical makeup as well. Learn to harvest the plant, prepare the parts you harvested and store for later use. You'll be amazed at the wealth of knowledge you'll attain doing this.
Perhaps you want more of a challenge than the above?
7. How about choosing someone who is less fortunate than you are and making them your hobby by doing JuJu to help them heal and prosper? - this is a noble idea that few will bother to give credence to however the dividends are well worthwhile. Maybe you know a person: someone elderly, a sick child, a neighbor, co-worker who is ill, friend or family member who has it rough and needs serious help. Open up your repertoire of spells/rituals and get to work on them. Do everything within your power to heal them of their maladies and then work on prospering and raising them up out of where they are. Just something to think about instead of yourself all the time.
There you go, seven simple yet worthwhile ideas for you to ponder and consider implementing for your own new year's resolution so that you won't break it but rather see it through to the end. I bid you good speed and much luck in your endeavors.

P. chlorospila and its relative P. macrospora are smooth-bark-encrusting lichens that can be recognised in an instant. The characters are such as to be completely unlike other Irish species. Both combine a greenish, wax-like thallus with the presence of minute, white flecks trapped within the waxy layer like a still photograph of falling snow. Both form tight bark mosaics with a black dividing border. Spherical black discs (perithecia) are also present and it is attention to the size of these that will help determine the species. In P. chlorospila the discs are less than 0.4mm in diameter. Often the two will grow together on smooth-barked trees (for example, holly, beech and hazel) in shaded woodland or in groves.

Tie the roast at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine and place in a bowl. Cover with the wine and toss in the bay leaf, cinnamon stick and rosemary. Make sure the roast is completely submerged in the wine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight, or if time is an issue, for at least 1 hour. Flip once or twice during marinating.
Position an oven rack in the lower part of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.
Remove the roast from the liquid (do not discard the marinade!), pat very dry with paper towels and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is almost to the smoking point, add the roast and cook on all sides until golden brown (the color will be darker than usual from the wine); it should take 15 to 20 minutes to get a good sear on the beef. Remove to a plate.
Add the garlic, celery, carrots and onions to the Dutch oven and saute until very tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add just 1/2 cup of the wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining wine with the rosemary, bay leaf and cinnamon stick and bring to a simmer. Add the roast and any juices on the plate, and then add enough vegetable stock to cover the roast at least halfway. Cover the lid of the Dutch oven with foil (it helps with clean up later) and cover the pot. Place in the oven and cook, turning once halfway through, until the beef is tender but not falling apart, about 3 hours. Remove to a cutting board to rest for 25 minutes (this makes the slicing much easier) while you make the sauce.
Discard the cinnamon stick, rosemary branch and bay leaf. Reduce the braising liquid by bringing it up to a vigorous simmer for 15 minutes. Once reduced, blend all the ingredients together in a blender to create a sauce.
Snip off the strings of the roast with kitchen shears or a knife, slice the beef into 1/2-inch slices and fan the slices out on a platter. Pour some of the sauce over the top of the beef and serve any remaining on the side. Garnish the platter with some torn parsley leaves.
When blending hot liquid, first let it cool for five minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.

CMIL-Kenya & KICD Partner with University of Boras, Sweden on MIL Capacity Building of Teachers & Librarians in Kenya
CMIL-Kenya in partnership with Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) and University of Boras, Sweden are mooting a joint project for capacity building of teachers and librarians in Kenya on media and information literacy. This is in response to the growing global traction of MIL mainstreaming in education systems to fit the 21st Century education outcomes as envisaged in the United Nations' Social Development Goals (SDGs) 4.
The inception meeting for the project was held at KICD on 3rd May, 2017 comprising of the main partners CMIL-Kenya, KID+CD and University of Boras who were represented by Tobias Ruhtenberg and Monika Johansson. Other partners represented in the meeting included UNESCO (Regional Office for eastern Africa), University of Nairobi, Moi University, Technical University of Kenya, Riara University and the Kenya Education Management Institute.
During the meeting, the University of Boras representatives presented a model MIL project they have been implementing in Sweden and other European Union and African countries. The MIL model is drawn from the UNESCO guidelines on Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers.
The Swed-Ken MIL project for teachers and librarians is in the planning stage and is expected to be rolled out in the country by the end of the year.

New changes to school employee's health care plans means a loss of coverage for many.
Lawmakers held a special session this week in Little Rock after premiums went up this year.
Spouses are now unable to obtain benefits if they can get insurance through their own employer.
In addition, part time school employees are unable to get insurance through the school.
"It`s going to be a little bit problematic," said Alma School Superintendent David Woolly.
Woolly expressed concern for part time employees such as a bus driver.
Representative Greg Leding of Fayetteville said insuring a part time employee, such as a bus driver, is expensive.
"We moved 4,000 part time employees off the plan," Ledding said. "Which is something a lot of us weren`t happy about us doing. I don`t think anybody was completely satisfied with the legislation. It was just something we had to do."
Leding said it's a short term fix but premiums would have skyrocketed this year if the change was not added.
"We knew that we had to act quickly if we didn`t teachers were going to see their premiums go up by as much as 35 percent this year," Leding said.
Leding said that 35 percent is expected now to be a three percent increase.
"We all want good quality affordable health insurance that's important to everybody," Woolly said.
The change also puts a limit on how much the state can pay for an insured employee to have weight loss surgery.

Speaker John Bercow today took the unusual step of rejecting government moves to oppose an elected committee of MPs to oversee how to timetable and scrutinise government legislation. Vast swathes of government bills currently leave the Commons undebated.
Speaking at the Oxford Union, Bercow urged MPs to back all the reforms to parliament advanced by the elected select committee chaired by Labour backbencher Tony Wright.
Fresh reassurances were given by the government yesterday that they will allow MPs to vote on all the proposals of the Wright Committee.
Suspicions had been raised that the government was trying to sidestep a vote after Gordon Brown told the Liaison Committee earlier this week that there might not be enough parliamentary time to give MPs a full chance to vote.
The Wright Committee proposals are due to be debated on 22 February, with a single MP entitled to block a proposal if they shout object. The government gave fresh reassurances that the MPs on a simple majority vote will be able on a subsequent day to vote on those measures to which there had been an objection.
The government is backing the bulk of the proposals designed to give MPs a greater say in the running of parliament, but is opposing what Bercow in his speech described as the most radical measure, "a completely new house business committee established to supervise the whole of parliament's timetable".
Bercow said the measure was seen by the Wright Committee as the only way "the House of Commons would fully reassert itself as a check and balance on the executive".
Labour believes the Tories do not support the proposals for an elected business committee to oversee the timetabling of government business, since they fear it would restrict their ability to get the business of a future Tory government through the Commons.
Bercow said the whole package "would constitute a profound shift in attitudes and expectations – both within the House and amongst those whom we serve. The assumption of greater parliamentary independence and the empowering of the House to steer its own course about what it does and how it does it would provide the platform for more ambitious change."
Bercow stressed it was not his role to tell MPs how to vote, but said there was considerable similarity between the Wright Committee proposals and his own previously expressed views.
He also insisted it was fair for him to tell the government to give MPs a chance to vote on the measures through a majority vote.
"It would be a matter of profound disappointment, to put it mildly, if the reforms required to hand the House of Commons those tools [to scrutinise the executive] were not to happen before the general election is upon us."

Haven't done one of these posts in a while, lovely new things have thinned out lately as we try to save money for the move to our lovely new house, and for Christmas and travel in the new year.
One should never scrimp on new magazines though, and I couldn't wait a moment longer for sunglasses shaped like cat's ears…
Fashion Quarterly, New Zealand's answer to Vogue. Love the cover shoot to pieces, love the slick 'How To' guide (how to dress like a stylist, walk in heels, wear a white shirt, take good photos for Facebook, look expensive on a budget) and there's even a little article in there by me on Anjhe Mules of Lucas Hugh.
The 50th issue of Frankie. I still have the first too, purchased the week I moved to Melbourne. Good memories! Anyway, it's just as good now, and this issue is a little bumper, with a sweet embossed cover and a bevy of smart/funny/chic stories and images.
Black, another cool Kiwi tome. This issue is in my opinion one of their best yet, and totally nails the balance between aspirational and accessible, international and local, and wordiness and imagery.
A personalised gift bag illustrated by the talented Kelly Thompson. Such a captivating image.
Dermalogica antioxidant hydramist. For those of you who know me or follow this blog may also know of my obsession with facial sprays, spritzes and mists. This one smells surprisingly of cloves and is moisturising to the point of oversaturation. Would be good for super dry skin.
Sans Baobab regenerative body cream. Created by the lovely Lucy Marr, it smells like a luxurious island holiday and promises to "plump and refine skin texture". Not sure my skin needs any plumping, but it will be a nice treat on a summer day, and I love the Sans branding/packaging.

The Independent Way Plus Funeral Plan
Tailor Made Plans
For many people, planning their funeral has become an established way of looking at the future, just like making a Will.
Tailor Made Plans
More than a million people in Great Britain have taken out a funeral plan, over 400,000 of them with Golden Charter. Usually, they have known the grief of bereavement and don't want their families to go through the stress of making arrangements. Many have established a relationship of trust with their local family funeral director. Who better to advise them on such a sensitive topic and assist them with all the details?
We believe that the Independent Way Plus Funeral Plan, which is available only through independent funeral directors such as ourselves, offers you significant advantages over other plans. The following pages explain the reasons why.
Planning your funeral the Independent Way
With the Independent Way Plus plan, we will make sure that your loved ones will be spared much of the stress and uncertainty of organising a funeral. You'll have specified every detail in advance and taken care of all the costs that are within our control. Plus, you have the option to include a Simple Will within your plan to make sure that all your wishes are known.
A guarantee that covers all our services
No matter how much our services may rise in cost in years to come, once your plan is fully in place, neither you nor your loved ones will be asked for a penny more for them. It's a guarantee that gives you peace of mind. You can be assured that your family will be spared what could be a financial worry.
There are some costs that we are obliged to pay on your behalf. These third party costs include the charges of cemeteries and crematoria, as well as the fees of clergy or officiants and the costs of newspaper notices and memorials. The amount of this expenditure is not within our control and may require a further payment at the time of need.
A sound financial decision
When you take out an Independent Way Plus plan, you have the reassurance that your money is protected. You select how you wish to pay for your plan and, depending on your choice, your money is paid into the Golden Charter Trust or to one of the UK's leading life assurance companies.
Your money grows and, when the time comes, we receive the payment, including any growth, and use this money to provide the agreed services to your family. No matter how much costs have risen in the intervening period, your loved ones will not be asked for a penny more for the guaranteed services included within your plan.
The Golden Charter Trust
The Board of Trustees has appointed a wide panel of Fund Managers who invest the funds in a cautious and balanced manner. Barnett Waddingham of Glasgow, the consulting actuaries, appraise the Fund performance regularly.
Protection against rising funeral costs
Back in 2004, an average funeral cost around £1,920. However, recent research† shows the average cost of a funeral in the UK is now £3,609 - an increase of 88% in ten years, well above the general level of inflation. If this trend continues, the average cost of a funeral in 2024 will be over £6,800.
Paying in advance for your funeral is a sensible decision that will save money, benefiting your family or estate. We guarantee that, as long as your plan is paid for, there'll be no more to pay for the services within our control.
A real alternative to saving
We believe a funeral plan offers a better option than saving for your funeral. In 2004, if you had put £1,920 (then the average cost of a funeral*) into a building society, you would have seen it grow to only £2,168.91** over the next 10 years.
However, with the average cost of a funeral now £3,609*, your family would have to find an additional £1440.09, at a very difficult time.
Your wishes fulfilled by a proven partnership
Most people don't want to think about arranging their own funeral. That's natural. But there is some quiet satisfaction to be gained from putting your affairs in order and reflecting on the most appropriate arrangements.
Many personal decisions have to be made. Your wishes are special – and you can be sure we will carry them out to the letter in association with Golden Charter, a British-owned and run company.
Funeral directors' services typically include:
• Professional charges. These represent a high proportion of a funeral director's costs and include making all arrangements for cremation or burial.
• Conveyance of the deceased from the place of death to the funeral director's premises, a chapel of rest or other suitable location.
• Caring for the deceased and attending to the hygienic preparation necessary to allow viewing, if requested by family or friends.
• Advice on the certification and registration of death and related documentation
• Provision of a hearse and other funeral vehicles
• Advice on bereavement counselling
A balanced approach to third party costs
Third party costs are not within our financial control. These expenses include the fees for the cemetery, crematorium, and clergy or officiant, which will be costed at today's prices in your plan.
Your payment is held with a view to maintaining a level of growth at least equivalent to the increases in inflation. However, if at the time of the funeral, the increase in the third party costs is greater than the growth, we would have the option to approach the family for an additional amount.
Third party costs may include:
• Crematorium fee
• Clergy/officiant's fee
• Purchase of grave or lair
• Cemetery fee: the opening of an existing or new grave for burial or interment of cremated remains
• Hire of church or other venue
• Fees of organist or soloist
• Memorial, such as a headstone, entry in abook of remembrance or planting of a tree
• Catering, floral tributes and newspaper announcements
Optional Will included in you plan
When arranging your funeral plan, it's a good idea to make sure you have a Will in place and that's it's up to date- that's why you have the option of a Simple Will to be included within your plan. A Will lets you safeguard the important things in your life, for the people you love. It allows you to specify who inherits your money, property, possessions, personal mementos or charitable donations. Even if you already have a Will, it's important that it reflects current circumstances. If you already have an up to date Will, you may wish to gift the Will to a friend or family member.
Why there is a plan administration fee
It is necessary for a one-off plan administration fee to be applied to the cost of every plan. This fee covers all of Golden Charter's costs in setting up the plan, the work involved in the preparation of the funeral arrangements and our appointment as your selected funeral director.
The Funeral Planning Authority
Golden Charter is a Registered Provider of Funeral Plans and complies with the Rules and Code of Practice of the Funeral Planning Authority. Non-compliance with these Rules may render Golden Charter liable to disciplinary action by the Funeral Planning Authority.
Recommendations and approvals
The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors
Golden Charter is the only funeral plan provider recommended by the National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), which serves independent funeral directors nationwide.

Rift and Morpheus might be grabbing all the attention but they're not the only VR headsets in the pipeline. Give 'em the eyes with this goggle-licious line-up.
Early Oculus Rift units used AMOLED screens taken from Samsung Galaxy S4s – but the vrAse takes the concept further. The screen and processing power of the headset is a Galaxy S4. Or an HTC One. Or an Xperia Z – any smartphone with a screen between 3.5 and 6.3in, although between 5 and 6 is best. Inside the headset are lenses, which take any side-by-side signal on the phone and split it for each eye. (vrase.com)
While most VR headsets require a PC to munch through the binary, or a smartphone to be slotted in the front to also provide the visuals, GameFace's effort is a combo of the two. The 5.5in 2560×1440 display (2K resolution) is built-in but it also does grunt work onboard with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, console-quality Tegra K1 graphics and Android Jellybean OS. (gamefacelabs.com)
Cmoar's modular make-up means you can change the lenses inside depending on what you're using it for. The VR lenses offer a 95º field of vision provided by whatever phone you've positioned in the front section. The other lens sets are for movies: one offers the equivalent of an 80in 3D screen from two metres away and another mimics a standard, 125in full HD screen from the same distance. (cmoar.com)
True Player Gear Totem
While VR isn't necessarily all about graphics, if your computer's struggling to push the required number of pixels the experience will suffer. So Totem might be the VR headset for you. It has hardware acceleration onboard, relieving some of the strain from your computer to make sure there's no lag. It also has a pair of cameras that look like eyes. Eventually they'll also be used for positional tracking. (trueplayergear.com)
Altergaze's headset doesn't look like this picture. At least, it doesn't have to. While it requires a smartphone to provide the pixels and power, the chassis itself is 3D-printed and can be customised via the company's website, with a whopping 8.4 million possible combinations. It comes with a set of lenses that always provide a Rift-beating 110º field of vision, no matter which phone you've got inserted. (agvr.co)
Sulon Cortex
Like a combination of VR and augmented reality, Sulon's Cortex uses your Android phone as a screen but also has built-in sensors and cameras that map the room you're standing in and recreate it in front of your eyes, with digital objects and virtual environments overlaid by the phone's processor. Its US$500 development kit is expected to ship at the end of the year. (sulontechnologies.com)
With its matching gun-shaped controller there's something decidedly retro about the ANTVR kit, but inside it's anything but old-fashioned. A wireless receiver sits between the two parts, meaning it can receive signals from a range of platforms, while the headset's aspherical lenses mean it will run games not specifically designed for VR. The gun controller also unfolds to reveal a traditional gamepad. (antvr.com)
When it comes to virtual reality, the larger your field of view the better. The latest Rift development kit has a 100º horizontal FOV but the InfinitEye's two 1280×800 displays and Fresnel lenses provide over twice that, drastically increasing your peripheral vision to 210º and ramping up the feeling of immersion. It's just a prototype at the moment, but the InfinitEye shows where next-gen VR helmets are likely to head. (facebook.com/InfinitEyeVR)
Vrelia VReye
Vrelia offers two HMDs (head-mounted displays): one that requires a phone to be slotted in, and one with the brains. With two 5.9in full HD screens providing two million pixels to each eye, the VReye Pro (pictured) offers a field of vision stretching to 123º. The other one accepts any phone with a screen from 4 to 6in, and side dials let you adjust the lenses – so users who normally wear glasses can take them off. (vrelia.com)
Avegant Glyph
The Glyph is a pair of noise-cancelling headphones with an extra-special trick. Fold it down and on the underside is a 1280×720-per-eye micromirror array, which reflects light into your eyeballs rather than lighting up a screen. Avegant reckons it's far sharper than a traditional screen, although its 45º FOV could prove detrimental to the VR experience. Just plug it in via HDMI and you're good to go. (avegant.com)

Can BuddyPress Profile Build
Hello Friends,
I am using a Child of Twentyeleven and am interested in learning more about BuddyPress.

Dental Insurance Plan Quotes – Pennsylvania
Get Free Quotes on Dental Insurance in PA
There are several different types of dental insurance plans available in Pennsylvania. Finding the most affordable dental plan for you will depend on your individual or your family's dental care coverage needs. Do you want to compare free quotes for Pennsylvania dental insurance and discount plans available in your area? It is easy, simply type in your zip code above to get started. Before you begin though, make sure you know what the differences are between the different types of dental insurance and discount dental plans available in PA.
Types of Dental Plans in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has five different types of Dental Insurance available. Each one has its own set of benefits for different price points, and understanding the differences in coverage is essential to choosing a plan that's right for you or your family. The five different types of insurance are:
- DHMOs (Dental Health Maintenance Organization)
- PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)
- Indemnity Plans
- Discount Dental Plans
Indemnity Plans
Indemnity plans are also known as "traditional dental insurance" plans. Under an indemnity plan, subscribers have no restrictions on the dentist they choose. The plans pay a portion of the dentist fee, which is based on a fee schedule determined by a UCR (Usual, Customary, Reasonable) fee, which is agreed upon by the dentist and the provider. Indemnity plan providers make reimbursements after receiving and reviewing the bill, so patients may pay higher out-of-pocket costs. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the provider's fee schedule, as well as their policy for updating the fee schedule. Indemnity plan providers in Pennsylvania include American National, Delta Dental, Nationwide and Ameritas.
Discount Plans:
Discount Plans are an attractive option for patients who have inadequate coverage. Subscribers receive a discount card that allows them to receive unlimited dental care at a discounted price. Patients are typically responsible for the entire price that is not covered by the discount at the time of the visit, so it's important to be aware of the provider's discount fee schedule. You should also make sure your preferred dentist accepts the plan. Pennsylvania has a wide range of discount plan providers, including Aetna Dental, Careington International, DentalSave, Dominion, and Patriot.
(*Discount plans are not insurance and are not intended to replace health insurance.)
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations)
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations) work with a network of dentists who have agreed to provide their services at a reduced rate for subscribers to the PPO in exchange for access to more patients. PPO providers cover a significant portion of approved procedures, so patients are assured of a maximum cost. PPO providers may have restrictions or higher co-pays for services outside of the approved network, so patients should be aware of the provider's policy, as well as the amount they are willing to pay for approved services. PPO providers in Pennsylvania include Delta Dental, HumanaOne, Ameritas and Nationwide.
DHMOs (Dental Health Maintenance Organizations)
DHMOs (Dental Health Maintenance Organizations) are a type of "managed care plan" that have low premiums, no claim forms, and no calendar year maximums or deductibles. Subscribers receive care from a dentist within the network who is paid a fixed monthly rate in exchange for his services for free or at an extremely reduced rate. This is meant to incentivize the dentist to provide quality preventative care to avoid unnecessary procedures. DHMOs typically have a smaller network of dentists than PPOs and may not cover services from dentists outside the network, and may only cover certain procedures. Check with each provider to see what services are included in the plan, as well as how many dentists are available to the patient pool. Pennsylvania Dental Health Maintenance Organizations include Dominion and HumanaOne.

Opening Face-Off
- WCHA Leading at the Polls: The nation's top women's college hockey conference continues to set this season's standard in the opinion polls, with the WCHA matching ECAC Hockey with four ranked teams in both the USCHO.com and USA Today / USA Hockey Magazine rankings: No. 2 Wisconsin, No. 3 Minnesota, No. 7 Bemidji State and No. 8 North Dakota.
- Winning Hockey: Not surprisingly, five of the NCAA's top-16 winning percentages also belong to WCHA teams: Wisconsin (second at .942, 24-1-1), Minnesota (tied for third at .880, 22-3-0), Bemidji State (eighth at .692, 17-7-2), North Dakota (12th at .659, 13-8-3) and St. Cloud State (16th at .500, 11-11-3).
- Playoff Home-Ice: The two teams atop the league standings, front-running Wisconsin and second-place Minnesota, have each clinched home-ice for the first round of the 2016 WCHA playoffs. With 56 and 51 points, respectively, the Badgers and Gophers are both assured of finishing in the top four of the league's regular season ledger.
- Quickly Around the WCHA: BEMIDJI STATE completed the first season sweep of UMD in program history with a pair of wins in Duluth last weekend ... MINNESOTA linemates Hannah Brandt (21g-25a), Dani Cameranesi (24g-27a) and Sarah Potomak (11g-34a) are among the nation's top five leading scorers, ranked third, fourth, and fifth in points per game, respectively; the Gophers lead the country by scoring 5.40 goals per game ... MINNESOTA DULUTH junior F Ashleigh Brykaliuk had her 11-game point streak - the second-longest by a Bulldog since 2011 - snapped Saturday; she accumulated 19 points on five goals and 14 assists during the run ... One of MINNESOTA STATE'S talented rookies, freshman F Emily Antony, has seven points over the last four games (3g-4a) ... NORTH DAKOTA'S blue-liners, who have played a big role in the Fighting Hawks ranking eighth nationally for scoring defense (1.79gpg), have also contributed offensively, with six of seven recording points ... OHIO STATE has moved up to third in the WCHA with 60 goals and an average of 2.31 markers per game (17th nationally) ... ST. CLOUD STATE is in the midst of potentially four-straight weekends against ranked opponents, heading to No. 2 Wisconsin this week after host No. 3 Minnesota last weekend (with series vs. No. 7 Bemidji State and at No. 8 North Dakota upcoming) ... WISCONSIN leads the NCAA in penalty killing with a .946 clip, while the Badgers have scored more short-handed goals (six) than they have allowed power-play markers (four).
By the Numbers
- 0.67, .964, 12 and 22: NCAA-leading goals-against average, save percentage, shutouts and wins (tied) for sensational Wisconsin junior goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens. Both the GAA and save percentage numbers are on pace to set NCAA single-season records, while she is tied for seventh on the shutout list.

Kelly and her family have spent the past 10 years serving at Baptist Park. Tyler Ayotte and Liz Butterfield shared their experiences, serving as Senior Counselors.

At Confirmation, we learn the implications of our new life in the Holy Spirit:
All powerful God,
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by water and the Holy Spirit
you freed your sons and daughters from sin
And gave them new life.
Send your Holy Spirit upon them
to be their helper and guide.
Give them the spirit of [I] wisdom and [2] understanding,
the spirit of [3] right judgment and [4] courage,
the spirit of [5] knowledge and [6] reverence.
Fill them with the spirit of [7] wonder and awe in your presence.
(Rite of Confirmation)
This prayer names the traditional "Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
"Isaiah told us the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: Is 11:2 "The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord."
Please pray for our students who have been confirmed and who have received their First Holy Communion.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been staggered at the success of the Big Running Survey so far. Only 11 days of data collection and there are already well over a thousand responses, with more coming through by the hour. With each respondent answering about a hundred questions the volume of data I will be working with is fantastic – far above 100,000 datum.
This bodes extremely well for making some very confident assertions about the nature of the British running community, the ways it can be segmented and the relative ways in which different social groups participated in the sport.
If the sample (the people who completed the survey) was a completely random selection of British runners we would be looking at being able to say we have 99% confidence (in statistical terms) that the sample we have represents in miniature the entire population of British runners, accurate to within 3%. That would be very impressive indeed.
However, there is one fly in the ointment: sampling error.
Because we weren't selecting people at random, but were instead inviting runners across various social media, via running clubs etc. we have a lot of unevenness in our coverage. There are, for example, many more women than men in the sample. Club members appear to be over-represented compared to non-members. There are very few runners over sixty in the sample. These discrepancies are sampling errors generated by the way the data was collected, for instance:
- Social media users are on average younger than the general population
- Women tend to be more keen to participate in surveys than men
- Our tweets were picked up by an influential women's running group, but not by its male equivalent
- Email addresses for clubs are available on the internet, allowing us to reach club members, but no equivalent channel exists for lone runners or non-club members
- Athletic (i.e track and field) clubs appear to have a more formal structure than many more casual running clubs, so appear more bureaucratic and resistant to requests to help
For these and more reasons we cannot assume that the data accurately represents the running community as a whole. However, it is very rare that this can be said to be the case for any survey with true confidence.
The good news is that this doesn't hinder us significantly, especially given the volume of data. It may be that one group (let's say sprinters) are under-represented, but there are enough of them for us to identify a decent sized group of them in the survey data that we can use to provide some detail of their approach to the sport and demographic profile compared to, say, road runners. The only thing we won't be able to say with certainty is how big that group is across the UK.
Fortunately we can cross-reference this small group in our data with its counterpart in Sport England's massive Active People Survey (APS) to find out how big the group really is. APS can give us the sheer size of the group, and our survey can provide rich detail about motivations, practices and opinions. In combination we can generate a pretty complete picture of the British running scene.
But before we get there I intend to try to fill in some of the gaps. In a couple of weeks we will do a preliminary analysis of the data to identify where we have any blind spots. That will give us some key groups to really focus in on in terms of data collection. We'll follow this up with some precise, targeted efforts to build the data in those areas.
In the meantime, if you know any male runners, runners who are not involved in any kind of club or members of track and field clubs please let them know… we need them!

So this is (maybe) the first time for me to post my outfit.. Not just because I usually use A uniform in my office, but last time i had a problem with my digital camera. Thanks God, I can bought the new one :)
23rd of December would be my nice day.. I had a Christmas celebration in my church GBI ROCK KUTA , we're celebrate with my complete family. Yes, my parents, my first brother with his wife and son, my second sister with her husband and son, it feels so perfect for me #AnotherMiracle.
After the church finished, We ( minus my daddy and my brother in law ) went to Ayam Tulang Lunak Malioboro for lunch. Sorry, no photos there because I'm too busy to eat the "tulang" :))
Then we went home. And the next hours, I had an appointment with my best friend ( Icha and Elisa ) to had a dinner at Pizza Hut, unfortunately Icha wasn't come. So I only met Elisa and her friend, Monic.
|I'm wearing : White peplum unbranded as a top, High Waist acid washes import from BKK,
and the cutest wedges from UP .. Simple, isn't?
*Well that's in my home, because I didn't get any portrait picture along the dinner :(
Yes, yes, 2 outfit a day :) Kinda show off, huh? Nope, I'm just too excited with my passion of fashion lately :D
Well, I just realize this is 28th December already.. 3 days to live in this year.. Do you have plan already where do you want to spend to celebrate the new years eve? Have you wrote your 2013's resolution?
Me, I still have no idea for the new years eve. Even I already ignored my friends invitation to go to Kuta ( remember about last year #PainfulMemory ) , Maybe I will celebrate the new years eve at my church friends house :)
Last but not the least, wishing you all guys more prosperity, healthy, generosity and blast along 2013 and wishing me will be more post about the outfit for the next year! :D

***** Trusting
When people don't trust,
they lack for a big brother.
A relationship bothered
negates trust and smothers.
Look with a glass half full
at a deserving mate;
then trust is easy, with
always a clean slate!

But without distortion, I can't use it to its maximum when I use it to record or play my guitar.

Friday after prelims week = PARTY PARTY!
Honestly speaking, I was still under a lot of stress during the prelims week even though I only have 3 subjects to study for.
Practice teaching + EJ responsibilities + Action research + 3 other subjects = STRESS
So, decided to "unstress" myself on a Friday after prelims and Trixie got the best idea! To attend her Cerveza party at Kyss Makati.
Went with my sister Jaja, high school friend since nursery Axl and 3 other friends of Axl from Pharmacy.
Arrived there at 10pm and left at past 1am. Flowing drinks till 11:30 plus 200 san mig light bottles till you drop!
They were giving away prizes like Beats by Dr. Dre and trip to somewhere in Asia and some tourist spots here in the Philippines. Didn't get the chance to win anything though. Haha. But it's no big deal. I had a pretty fun time partying on a Friday night there. :)
Parteeey parteeey!
Flowing drinks!
