Below are some devotional helps to use throughout the week. We'd love for you to use some or even all of these to review this week's story with your kids.
Dinner Time (Deep Dive)
READ the story together. (Genesis 27-28)
ASK some questions about the story.
Who were the main characters? (Jacob, Esau, Rebekah and Isaac.)
What are the main story beats? (Jacob and Esau were rivals before birth; Jacob had to flee due to his bad choices; God gives Jacob a vision to reaffirm his promise.)
What's the main point? (Rebekah and Jacob tricked Isaac into blessing Jacob.)
CONNECT it to the family.
God has a plan for our lives. No matter what choices we make. God loves us and wants what is best for us. God always keeps his promises.
PRAY together.
God, we thank you for who you are. We are thankful that you have a plan for each and every one of us. We pray that we can trust God no matter what. Amen.
Drive Time (Quick Refresh)
ASK what story we've been studying this week. (Jacob and Esau)
See what they remember from the story – details, main points, any take away they have, etc.
REMIND them of the main point.
Rebekah and Jacob tricked Isaac into blessing Jacob
Bedtime (Soul Work)
ASK how they feel about what we've been learning about this week.
Why do you think God said the older son would serve the younger?
In his dream, Jacob saw a stairway going up to heaven. What are some ways people try to get to heaven?
How can we be part of God's mission to bless the whole world through Jesus?
ENCOURAGE them about the truth of God's promise.
God always keeps his promises.
RELATE to them.
Mom and Dad are called to trust that God will bring all things to good and that he always keeps his promises.
PRAY for them before they go to sleep.
Breakfast Time (Daily Encouragement)
ENCOURAGE them to trust God's promise today.
At school as they're working, playing, talking with friends, etc.
Remember that God keeps his promises.
PRAY for them before you drop them off to start their day.
REVIEW one of these doctrine memory questions, or the month's memory verse by having your kids repeat it after you.
Gospel Project Big Picture Question: Does God keep his promises? God always keeps his promises because he is faithful.
Memory Verse: Genesis 28:15 – "Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."

You can't lead people unless you love people. You can't save people unless you serve people.
I really enjoyed this interview today with Jon Stewart asking Tavis Smiley about his new book The Death of a King: The Real Story of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Final Year.
In it he says this,
Whatever happened to the notion of love in our public discourse? And that is not a laughable concept. King put love in the center of the public square. Gandhi put love in the public square. Bobby Kennedy put love in the public square... Let me ask you this. Can you name 3 people in leadership in this country who you believe love you enough to die for you?
Pretty deep topic for the Daily Show! And it was recorded on September 11th no less, 13 years after the day that changed that date forever.
Tavis's comments remind me of one of my favorite quotes from Gandhi, "There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for."
I love what Tavis is pointing at and the reason he wrote his book. He says in the interview that he doesn't want us to remember King as a black man or a martyr. He wants us to remember him as the kind of leader that all of us can be, a leader who speaks the truth and works to make the world better for everyone. He led with love and we can lead with love.
I couldn't agree with Tavis more. Serving is the only way to save others (and ourselves for that matter).
And the only leaders I admire, the ones with pictures up on my wall, are the ones that truly love others.
That's the kind of leader I hope to be.

It is very rare to come across an artist who is so talented that upon hearing them for the first time, you literally have your mind blown. That is the reaction I had when I first heard the music of a young man who is only 16 years of age and has a flow that is simply unmatched. In this week's independent spotlight, I want to shine a light on Bishop Nehru.
Now I am highly upset with myself for only recently being exposed to Bishop because to be so young and to rap as amazingly as he does, he should have already been on everyone's radar. Being an amazing rapper is only just one of the talents that this Rockland County, NY native possesses. Nehru's talents also include being a video director, editor, and produces his own material. This kid is like the "Smart Guy" of hip-hop. Shout out to Tahj Mowry.
In all seriousness, I listened to Nehru's "NEHRUVIA" mixtape and I have never been more impressed by a young artist. What is scary is that at such a young age, he displays flow and ruthlessness through his lyrics the likes I haven't heard in YEARS! Bishop Nehru is honestly a throwback to 90s classic Hip-Hop with a new school swag. From his beats to his amazing flow, Bishop is what I've personally been craving to hear from modern day Hip-Hop. Through his lyrics, his competitive spirit and passion for hip-hop grabs you and you are instantly sucked in.
Bishop Nehru has been co-signed by Nas; now that's one hell of an endorsement and a sure sign that we will be seeing more from this young man on his rise to stardom. With so much talent, experience, and knowledge of the game already in his arsenal, just imagine how Bishop will grow as an artist over time? Even though he is young, he still does have a lot of room to learn and excel as an artist and as a performer and when he does, everyone is going to be talking about this guy that's for damn sure.

In keeping with the nationwide Association of House builders survey, there may be one fascinating level that the resale worth of some homes is hundred {527b836e6b9b3100842f6ac7f8198eb43a405417f6398d103cf2947451c11138} when the kitchen and bathrooms are reworked. Base on what we all know to be costs of materials and what you have got in right here we estimated and budgeted $ 11-12,000 for our venture which included us doing the demo. Totally enclosed steam showers with multiple showerheads are a luxury that is becoming extra conventional in new properties and reworked master bogs.
Asking questions, setting real looking expectations, cost estimates and budgeting from the beginning can imply the distinction between discovering a contractor you belief and revel in working with versus an extended and making an attempt few weeks. Grey penny tiles that movement beautifully from the shower into the remainder of the gorgeous toilet hold the room from trying blocked off, making the space feel way more open.
Take into account that though the typical small bathroom rework costs round $9,000, that your labor & materials costs will range relying on location and quality of fixtures you select. If your toilet renovation includes putting in model-new tiles, take the time to think about every selection's maintenance needs and lengthy-time period durability.
One caveat: Do not eradicate the bath if there aren't another loos in the house with a bathtub. As a result of the paint color was too intense for the space, this rest room felt even smaller. Many loos make use of tile flooring as a result of its sturdiness and waterproof traits.
Curbless showers are simpler to clean, they make your toilet look greater, and they assist householders to age in place. New tiles give the space a contemporary really feel. Although attainable, some flooring decisions which may be utilized in other parts of the home might not work nicely within the toilet, comparable to carpeting and wooden flooring.

Is it Time for a Full Reset?
We hear it all the time from people who have weight to lose: If I could just lose these pounds, I know I could keep them off! With that mindset, otherwise intelligent people choose drastic diet plans that promise fast weight loss, plans that use restriction, deprivation and/or eating of food-like substances instead of real food.
And after suffering through the pain and humiliation of these plans, our dieting friends may actually lose weight. At least in the short-term. But despite best intentions, it's nearly impossible to keep that weight off without real lifestyle changes, and then it's a matter of weeks or months before old habits drive the numbers on the scale back to where they were…or even higher.
I don't want to watch another client or friend embark on an adventure in yo-yo dieting that leaves them feeling frustrated, helpless and hopeless. I'm offering a new option:
A 14-day commitment to reset not just your body, but your mindset.
What Full Reset is not: This is not a detox. This is not a cleanse. This is not a "lose weight fast" plan.
What Full Reset is:
- 4 days of intensive planning and learning, followed by 10 days of action, more planning and even more learning.
- You will re-define your wellness goals.
- You will gain a greater understanding of how food impacts your body and mind.
- You will learn how to lose weight in way that preserves your lean muscle while you are losing fat.
- You will learn new skills that enable you to plan healthy meals and snacks that actually taste good.
- You will learn how you can still enjoy your favorite treats, eat in restaurants and be a sociable human, all while upholding healthy habits in support of your goals.
Beyond those initial 14-days, you'll have continued support to stay on the path toward achieving your goals. If you've put yourself through the grueling deprivation of a commercial diet plan—or if you're about to—Full Reset should be a sheer pleasure in comparison.
Are you curious if a Full Reset is right for you? I'm offering a one-hour free consult. Let's talk! Shoot me an email at email@example.com

Peugeot began its reign in motorsports since the beginning using the entering five cars for the Paris-Rouen Trials in 1894. These motorsport trials are largely thought to be the first motor sports competition. It was not until 1912 that Peugeot made its most notable contribution to the world of motor sports when among the entered cars won the French Grand Prix. This winning Peugeot car was advanced and influential for later designs as the Peugeot featured a dual overhead cam configuration with four valves per cylinder. The Peugeot innovation caused it to be such that the engines might be smaller and remove maximum horsepower versus relying on larger heavier engines to find the desired horsepower.
Cars and motorcycles differ on wheels as well as over all physics. They move, stop and turn differently. A motorcycle can cover a smaller space while a motor vehicle covers a big space. Since a vehicle is larger, it may carry more and more people, can waste more resources which enable it to isolate the motive force from your environment. This isolation is a type of supply of road accident. A person in the car is less alert to his surrounding thus it allows anybody to work with his cellphone while driving, read or eat resulting to more accidents because of distracted driving.
And now with the motor car being greater than a hundred year old invention it may be a very refined product which gets its basic function done quickly. And for sometime a car is doing over being merely a method of transport. For celebrities along with the rich people for sometime it is a ways of making an announcement of style and social standing. And just much like other trends, that which only the very rich can afford some time ago, can be had by everyone. And so today it is possible for that ordinary person to possess a truly exceptional looking car due to aftermarket body kits.
Kia Rio, produced by Kia Motors, makes its debut with the Geneva Motor Show to new Kia models. The Kia Ro is slightly larger than when compared with its predecessor. Furthermore, Kia Rio comes with 1.4-litre diesel and a 1.25-litre petrol which enables the automobile to arrive at top speed of 62mph at 11.5 seconds.
Hybrids are more efficient for assorted reasons. For one, battery of the hybrid lasts longer. It is designed with two energy supplies- the gas and electricity. The car is constructed of lighter materials, meaning less energy is employed. The engine in a very non-hybrid is heavier in order that it requires more power to accelerate and to climb an incline. And with a hybrid you'll find fewer cylinders.
Will you fancy the latest automobile product out whilst in the marketplace but obtain the price rather out of the question? Then get worried no additional, because there are many ways to duplicate that "Fast along with the Furious" look in your auto sans the pocket-burning charges.
When Hilga and I purchased our current full time RV living home back 2008, it had been a 2006 that had been created in late 2005. It was barely used, looked fresh, as did the eight tires it had into it. They were the factory originals as well as the tread wear was non existent. I suspect the RV we had not traveled much except for its trip in the factory to where we purchased. When to replace RV tires had not been even going to be a concern of mine for decades, so I thought.
The RC cars are for sale in different good name and accessible with tremendously good characteristic and utilities like the good shifting characteristic, mechanical handling. It is act on remoteness with the aid of remote organize effortlessly and will system in air which enable it to flow above remoteness. The RC Cars are has several individual kinds of characteristic and it can be utilize to handle the heavy vehicle and additional small vehicles easily. The customer can consequently depend on the auto to get their purpose and necessities. It can at the same time be observed how the automatic car are will be wireless system people that are all to easy to handle and easy to operate a vehicle. The car is at the same time easily obtainable in various good recognized brand names and colors combinations and patterns also. These cars have many attractive features and control quick racing car fitting the necessities from the customer because with the sole characteristic it's got.
Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy, that is originally referred to as the "Spirit of Speed", "Silver Lady" or "Flying Lady", first appeared on the top of a Rolls-Royce radiator in 1911. Spirit of Ecstasy is related to a scandalous story of John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, (second Lord Montagu of Beaulieu after 1905, a pioneer in the automobile movement, and editor of The Car Illustrated magazine from 1902). Montagu, who had married to Lady Cecil Victoria Constance under family's pressure, a secret love story regarding his secretary named Eleanor Velasco Thornton. Due to Montagu's fame and social status, the romance was kept secret among circle of friends for upwards of ten years. The Spirit of Ecstasy comes with a young woman in flowing robes placing one forefinger to her lips which can be regarded as Montagu's secretary and not-so-secret mistress Eleanor Velasco Thornton.
Each day these cars get closer to extinction. They are now outnumbered by boxy Russian Ladas, Volga sedans and more recent Eastern European and Japanese imports. But the biggest threats to Cuba?s classic cars would be the scarcity of parts and deficiency of original factory literature to maintain these with uniform standards.

With the evolution of technology, there are so many health oriented applications that you can get on your smartphones without any issue.

Today's banking ecosystem is evolving as digital banking, mobile apps, and omni-channel banking experiences move from nice to have to necessities.
In fact, a PwC survey shows that 60% of smartphone users reported using mobile banking in some way, up from 36% just four years ago.
Additionally, according to Vidyo's 2018 Video Banking Report, more than 80% of financial institutions are planning to deploy video capabilities in the future.
While in-branch banking is still a preferred choice for some members, it's clear they're adopting other channels as well—and by nature these interactions are devoid of any human touch.
With the increasing use of digital channels, it is now more important than ever for credit unions to focus on their relationships with members as a key to sales and retention success.
The importance of relationships when it comes to banking success cannot be emphasized enough, as it can lead to a longer lifetime of member accounts and increased use of products.
With the rise of mobile banking and video banking, both remote and in-branch, members are leaning more toward digital options.
A credit union's staff, therefore, needs to capitalize on the face-to-face interactions they do come across.
According to a recent Harvard Business Review study, a face-to-face request is 34 times more successful than an email-based request, and email carries many similarities to online and digital banking. Both, for example, are primarily text-based and impersonal.
One could even argue that an email is more personal than online banking because the email likely comes from an individual vs. a financial institution pushing information to you.
In either case, it is not hard to see why cross-selling or customer service is a significantly more successful experience if it happens via face-to-face communication.
Face-to-face communication is key. But how can a credit union bring it to digital banking and use it to build member relationships?
A common half-step solution many financial institutions employ is adding phone support customers can use for complex or high-level transactions.
While it's a step in the right direction, it falls short in mimicking the in-person experience that has for so long helped build critical relationships with members.
For that reason, enabling a real-time video option is the best way to bring the human touch back to these important transactions and create the trust that can only be built through shared human experience.
And even for those members who prefer visiting a branch, video can also be beneficial as it offers access to additional expertise and can help get them served more quickly.
Face-to-face collaboration
I've had the opportunity to witness the effects of this at Springfield, Mo.-based BluCurrent Credit Union, which is seeing the benefits of face-to-face video collaboration.
The $186 million asset credit union leverages video to ensure members can connect with subject matter experts. Through these face-to-face interactions, BluCurrent has seen its cross-sales rate increase 20%.
Diamond Credit Union in Pottstown, Pa., has been using face-to-face video interaction for loan applications, and the results have been spectacular.
Members at the $619 asset credit union love the video experience and have rated it 4.93 out of 5 for satisfaction. In fact, many institutions report a 70% increase in Net Promoter Scores, with a 50% increase in first-call resolution with video vs. phone support.
Banking is becoming increasingly digital. But the human touch and personalized relationships that drives success in banking is just as important as ever.
In fact, through the use of technology, you can meet members where they are and show a genuine desire to connect with them.

For residents of Austin, Texas, weeks of terror ended Wednesday when Mark Conditt — identified as the serial bomber responsible for killing two people and badly wounding four others — blew himself up.
As reporters began delving into the 23-year-old Conditt's background, religious details — some more concrete than others — quickly emerged.
My thanks to GetReligion reader Deann Alford, a Texas-based journalist and author, who alerted us to crucial facts in an Austin American-Statesman story. The key: The religious questions linked to this story are valid hooks to investigate — right now. But authorities say they see no clues, so far, to motives in these acts.
The Austin newspaper interviewed Jeremiah Jensen, 24, who was homeschooled in the same community as Conditt:
The two were close in 2012 and 2013, said Jensen, who would often go to the Conditts' home for lunch after Sunday church service and attended Bible study and other activities with him. Jensen said Conditt came from a good family, was athletic, enjoyed rock climbing and parkour and was a "deep thinker."
"When I met Mark, he was really rough around the edges," Jensen said. "He was a very assertive person and would … end up being kind of dominant and intimidating in conversation. A lot of people didn't understand him and where he was coming from. He really just wanted to tell the truth. What I remember about him he would push back on you if you said something without thinking about it. He loved to think and argue and turn things over and figure out what was really going on."
Jensen said Conditt attended regular church services at the Austin Stone Community Church on St. John's Avenue.
"I know faith was a serious thing for him," he said. "I don't know if he held onto his faith or not. … The kind of anger that he expressed and the kind of hate that he succumbed to — that's not what he believed in in high school. I don't know what happened along the way. This wasn't him."
A little later in the story, there's this:
The Austin Stone said in a statement it had no records of Conditt or his family's active involvement in the church or interactions with staff members.
"We love and grieve with our city and we continue to pray for the victims and their families who were affected by these recent tragedies. We are cooperating with law enforcement with any pertinent information we can find that may be of help as they continue their investigation," the church said in a statement.
In its front-page profile of Conditt today, the Houston Chronicle — like a number of media outlets — notes that the bomber had pondered a church mission trip a few years ago, a fact attributed to his mother's Facebook page.
The Chronicle references his "close-knit, religious family."
More from the Houston paper:
Some neighbors didn't remember the Conditts' son, but 75-year-old Jeff Reeb told reporters he was just a "neighborhood kid" from a good family.
"I know that they were church-going people," he said. "I know that they were extremely good neighbors."
One woman who home-schooled with Mark Conditt in his early teens said she didn't see any red flags.
"He seemed like a normal boy," she said.
In its story on "Who Is Mark Conditt, the Suspected Austin Serial Bomber?" the New York Times immediately references the religion angle:
PFLUGERVILLE, Tex. — The Austin bombing suspect who blew himself up Wednesday in a confrontation with police was an intense loner who grew up in a tight-knit, deeply religious family, according to friends and neighbors.
Later in the story, the Times reports:
Mr. Conditt grew up as the quiet, socially awkward oldest child of a devout Christian family that held Bible study groups in their white clapboard house, where an American flag hangs from the front porch.
After Mr. Conditt, 23, was identified on Wednesday as the serial bomber who killed two people and terrorized Texas' capital, Mr. Conditt's mother sent a text message to a friend, Donna Sebastian Harp. It said: "Pray for our family. We are under attack" — a reference to a spiritual assault.
"It's a Christian-ese thing we say," Ms. Harp said. "Pray: the situation is very serious."
I'm not sure what to make of that "Christian-ese thing we say" quote. I mean, the previous paragraph with the explanation that the "under attack" text message is a reference to a spiritual assault seems highly appropriate. It's an important note for readers who might not be familiar with that sort of language from a Christian. But the additional quoted material makes me wonder if the source really had to elaborate on the text's meaning to the Times.
Meanwhile, USA Today quotes the leader of a Texas home-schooling group:
Conditt was home-schooled before studying at Austin Community College from 2010 to 2012. Tim Lambert, president of the Texas Home School Coalition, said in a statement Wednesday that the home schooling community is also in disbelief.
"The staff and team of (the Texas home school coalition) are praying for the families of the Austin bombing victims as well as the Conditt family and their friends, who were shocked to learn that Mark Conditt was behind the bombings," Lambert said.
"Raised by both parents in a Christian home, Conditt reportedly walked away from his faith several years ago," he said. "Today's revelations about the Austin bombings provide a stark reminder that we live in a fallen world. Unfortunately, no form of education, public or private, can ensure a tragedy like this will never happen."
For some of the most insightful background on the religion angle that I've seen, check out Heavy.com's five fast facts on Conditt and Austin Stone Community Church. The writer, Stephanie Dube Dwilson, is a former information director for Prestonwood Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist megachurch in Plano, Texas. I knew her during my time covering religion for The Associated Press in Dallas.
Among Dwilson's fast facts: Austin Stone Community Church draws more than 7,000 worshipers at five campuses each week and is technically a Southern Baptist congregation, even though it's regarded as nondenominational by many.
Heavy.com recounts what the church said before Conditt was identified as the bomber:
The church's counseling center released the following statement on their website about the bombings, before Conditt was caught: "In the past 2 weeks our beloved city has experienced 5 bombs that have taken 2 lives and injured 5+ others. The locations of the explosions have been in different parts of the city – all residential except for the latest one that went off while in transit at the FedEx facility. Two of the bombs were set in lower-income neighborhoods while the most recent explosion occurred in a middle-class neighborhood in Southwest Austin. There has been speculation as to whether they are coordinated and targeted – a hate crime or something else – but that is still unclear. This leaves residents in a difficult and precarious position. We don't know what to expect. At this point it seems like a bomb can be placed in any neighborhood in Austin, at any time, leaving no one feeling safe and many experiencing fear and anxiety like never before. No one is immune to this it seems. Personally, with each incident I have found myself having to process new layers of fear. It has caused me to ask questions and imagine scenarios I never would have thought I would be capable of until now. It has led me to ask what can I do?" The website went on to suggest biblical ways to respond, including being watchful and cautious, staying prayerful, staying faithful, and being a light in the darkness by loving the city rather than hiding at home.
But Austin Stone Community Church apparently wasn't the only one Conditt had attended over the years. The Times story quotes a woman who recalls going to a different, now-closed church with the family. Note the reference to this church being racially diverse. That's crucial, in light of early questions about who the bomber may or may not have been attacking:
Pamela Crouch, who home-schools her children in Pflugerville and has known the Conditts for several years, said her family attended a Bible study group at the Conditt home in the early 2000s, when both families belonged to a small evangelical church, Grace, that has since shut down.
Ms. Crouch said the church had an economically and racially diverse congregation. She described the family as "lovely people" and said that Mr. Conditt's mother did some work outside the home as well as home-school their four children.
Obviously, the full picture of Conditt and his religious background — and what role, if any, that background played in the bomber's reasoning — is still developing.
Stay tuned.

Oh Internet. As much as I love embarrassing myself for your entertainment, I didn't really want to share this one. (Although YES, I acknowledge that it could have been MUCH worse and I'm glad it WASN'T.) But, despite writing hundreds of words on about seven alternative posts, it seems that THIS is the one that wants to be written.
I trust that you will read with the proper amount of sympathy and then excuse yourself to the restroom to laugh discreetly under cover of the sound of a running sink. And that you will share similar tales of humiliation in the comments. Or at least do that thing where you pretend it happens to everyone! All the time!
Because I have given up sweets, I have been craving carbs like whoa. Crackers. Bread. Pasta. Popcorn. Just pile it all up onto a plate and send it my way please.
(Good thing the sweets restriction is not for weight loss purposes!)
Saturday night, my husband is at the hospital overnight. As is my custom when he's overnight, I cannot bear the thought of sleeping alone in our bed. So I stay up very very late watching a marathon of The Big Bang Theory.
At around 12:17, I decide I want popcorn.
Our pantry contains two types of popcorn:
Option 1: A 100-calorie pack of Pop Secret.
Option 2: A whole box of normal size packages of fake-butter-flavored Boy Scout popcorn.
I choose Option 1, read the instructions, and throw the bag in the microwave. Three minutes seems like a long time for such a small amount of popcorn, but hey – that's what the instructions said. It's not like I need to leave it in that long. A veteran popcorn maker, I know that you pay more attention to the pops than to the time remaining. And when the pops start spacing themselves two to three seconds apart, you remove the popcorn and start stuffing your face.
I peek into the microwave at some point and notice steam coming from the bag.
That's odd, I think to myself. I didn't realize popcorn steams like that.
A few seconds later, I peek again. The steam is thicker and more… insidious than normal steam. And it is pouring from the bag with great vigor. So I open the microwave and a big plume of burnt popcorn races for the ceiling.
I throw open the window.
That's when the siren pierces the midnight calm with its furious wail.
Because, as is my custom, I'd turned on our burglar alarm as soon as my husband left. And opening any windows or doors triggers the alarm.
Fanning at the smoke with a dish towel, I run over to the alarm keypad and punch in our code. Then I fly back to shoo the smoke out the window into the icy January morning.
The security company is supposed to call us when the alarm goes off. When I don't get a call right away, I realize they must have called my husband. Who will probably freak out. So I send him a text letting him know it was a mistake, nothing is wrong, I haven't been murdered.
Then the phone rings. It's the security company dispatcher. I babble at her, still shaky from the popcorn fire and the ear-splitting burglar alarm, telling her it was a mistake and I am so sorry and blah blah blah.
When she finally gets a word in edgewise, she asks me for my security code and then tells me that since I haven't reset the alarm, she has called the cops.
I don't know how to reset the alarm! I tell her. I plugged in my code!
Plug it in again.
I do. Nothing.
Well, she says, trying for patient but succeeding at exasperated, you try it again and I'll let the cops know it was a false alarm.
I get off the phone with her. I stab in the code a couple more times.
That's when my husband calls.
Um, he says, I got a call from our security company that the alarm went off and they had to send the cops to our house. Are you okay?
He is very calm, Internet. Much more calm than I am, and I know I'm okay.
At top speed, I tell him what's happened. He remains very calm, unconcerned, no trace of even mild bemusement or irritation, and then reminds me – kindly, mind you – that he has actual dying patients to tend to.
I am afraid the cops are going to show up. And I'm fresh out of the shower (don't you shower at midnight on a Saturday?) wearing nothing but a white sleeping tank top and pajama pants. My house is fogged in with a thick layer of popcorn smoke.
I hightail it upstairs to grab a sweat shirt.
I'm halfway to the second floor when the phone rings. I race back into the kitchen, where, of course, I've left my phone.
It's the security company again. I still haven't managed to reset the alarm. We determine that the woman on the line could be dealing with ACTUAL emergencies, rather than helping me figure out how to reset the thing. We determine the reason it won't reset is because I haven't closed the kitchen window. I slam the window shut, rekey my passcode into the alarm panel, and dash back out of the kitchen.
As I'm skidding down the hallway, I see police lights striping my neighborhood with red and blue.
I am sure all my neighbors are rushing to their windows, ready to watch as the cop leaves his car and marches up my front steps. Perhaps his gun will be drawn. Perhaps his partner will go around the side of the house to scope out the situation from the side window. I imagine having to answer the door, baring my tank-top and still-wet hair to the biting January night as the entire neighborhood watches. Just another wife-beater-wearing weirdo for the next episode of COPS. (At least it's a CLEAN tank top.)
Is she a meth cooker? A prostitute? A murderer? my neighbors will wonder. They'll whisper about me at Super Bowl parties and barbecues. The rumors will get wilder and more outrageous, until I'm a sex-crazed asylum escapee who's chopped 10 consecutive husbands into little bits and now makes popcorn-scented bombs in her basement. Their kids will peer in our windows and run away shrieking – half-terrified, half-delighted – every time I leave my house to empty the trash. The wives will stand across the street in clumps of three or five, speculating about my stringy hair and questionable fashion sense and how to run me out of town. The husbands will grouse about my effect on property values.
In the few seconds I pause to decide whether to open the door or sprint upstairs for the sweatshirt, the police car extinguishes its lights, pulls into my driveway, backs out, and speeds off down the street.
At least I know it only takes about 10 minutes for the police to respond to an emergency at my house.
I know you are dying to learn how the night ended. I stayed up until 3:00 watching The Big Bang Theory reruns. And, of course, I made another bag of popcorn. Successfully, this time.
(This is where you tell me about an equally mortifying thing that happened to you.)

Please join us to celebrate the launch of Moya Cannon's fourth Carcanet collection, Donegal Tarantella, for an evening of readings, discussion and drinks, with Olivia O'Leary. The evening is kindly co-hosted by Poetry Ireland in Dublin. Refreshments will be provided, and copies of the book will be available to purchase. Please let us know you can make it by reserving a free Eventbrite ticket and visiting the Facebook event.
Music and the arts are things the human spirit needs in an elemental sense. This lesson is taught by history and archaeology; it may even be taught by geology. Music and the arts are ways of recognising the physical world with our physical being, of asking and answering. It is also a way of being with, in community. The ways in which our music and dance change, not only with the seasons but with the epochs, with locations, with language, are themselves part of our history.
Our complex, shifting relationship with the earth and sea can be registered in song, as can the salient moments of history which alter individual human lives and the lives of communities. Cannon is a committed hillwalker, and the poems take us with her, climbing, looking out to sea, and seeing through time to the histories that have taken place in her landscapes.
Moya Cannon, originally from Co. Donegal, has spent most of her adult life in Galway and now lives in Dublin. She has represented Ireland at many international festivals and conferences. Her work has been widely translated. She has taught creative writing at the National University of Ireland, Galway, was director of the International Writers' Course at NUIG, and she has edited Poetry Ireland Review. A winner of the Brendan Behan award and of the Lawrence O'Shaughnessy award, she has a deep interest in music and enjoys performing with musicians.
This event is free to attend, but please reserve a place via Eventbrite. There is also a Facebook page. The event will begin at 18:30 and include reading from Moya Cannon, and there will be the opportunity to ask questions. We will serve refreshments.

Linda: Although it is commonly believed that the best time in a relationship is the passion of the infatuation stage in the very beginning, that is not necessarily true.
Some people believe that after the infatuation stage it's all downhill from there, and that the best that you can hope for in the later years is companionship.
It is true that in the early stage of the relationship, there is an exciting, steep learning curve, because the process of discovering who our new partner is can be exhilarating. And while we are discovering more about who they are, we are also discovering deeper aspects of ourselves.
Bianca P. Acevedo conducted a study of the brain with Arthur Aron, Helen Fisher, and Lucy Brown in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY. Acevedo's findings were reported in the article "Natural Correlates of Long Term, Intense Romantic Love" in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Volume 7, No. 2 February 2, 2012 pages 145-159.
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the study examined the neural correlates of long-term intense romantic love. Ten women and seven men married an average of 21.4 years underwent MRI while viewing facial images of their partner. Control images included a highly familiar acquaintance, a close, long-term friend, and a low-familiar person. The areas of the brain showing activity did not demonstrate responsiveness to the highly familiar acquaintance, long term friend or low familiar. But the imaging did show a strong response by those viewing pictures of the intensely loved, long-term partner.
The specific areas of the brain studied were the dopamine-rich reward and basal ganglia system, such as the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and dorsal striatum. These are the areas that show strong results in the early stages of romantic love.
The long-term couples had findings similar to couples newly in love.
The hypothalamus and posterior hippocampus responses, which correlates with sexual frequency, was demonstrated by the long-term couples as well. And like the new couples that show responses that demonstrate their obsession, the long-term marrieds had these obsessive signs too. In other words, the dopamine-rich areas of their brains associated with reward and motivation lit up just like those couples in the ecstasy of new passion.
There are regions of the brain that show both mother-child and romantic attachment. These areas were observed to show strong attachment in the long-term loving couples. These are the areas that can calm anxiety and buffer pain.
The results of the study results suggest that for some individuals the passion associated with new love can be sustained with a long-term partner.
Brain systems involved in attachment and pair-bonding are not just operative in the early stages, but can remain vital and alive over many years, perhaps for decades. They have the excitement and glow of the infatuation stage combined with the trust and comfort of having been together for a long time. So it appears that we benefit from the best of both worlds; we have the dopamine effect that provides the excitement and passion like the early stage combined with the greater calm that comes with long-term solid attachment.
It is reassuring to review the findings of the study to know that keeping passion alive over many years with a partner is possible and measurable with the newest technology.
But the question remains, what are these couples doing to conduct their relationship in such a way that the passion is strong over time. We would speculate that the key factor here in having the passion remain high is the expansion of the self. If self-expansion is a high priority for both partners, enthusiasm can last over the decades. Having personal development be part of the romantic contract can promote such personal growth over a lifetime, which keeps passion high.
If you put your relationship on cruise control and don't develop yourself or the relationship to maximize it's potential, it is quite possible that the diminishment that many people expect will actually occur.
But this does not have to be the case.
We can consciously choose to develop our relationships, keeping the sexual and emotional intimacy active, and developing our creative expression as individuals and as a couple.
From my point of view, the brain studies show us that it is possible, but it won't happen on it's own. We must be active participants in the process to reap the abundant rewards. Are you up for it?

Spicy Prawns
Heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to a saucepan.
When warm add 200g fresh green, peeled prawns and cook gently until pink.
Add 2 tablespoons of Doodles Creek Spicy Tomato Relish and mix through.
Sprinkle with some chopped coriander or parsley and serve with a slice of crusty bread or some steamed rice.
Serves 2
Cheese Plate
Doodles Creek Beetroot relish is great with your favorite cheese. We suggest Rockfort, a tangy blue cheese, Brie and a Parmgiano Regiano. Always remember to serve your cheese warm, especially the soft cheeses like Brie to bring out the flavours. We enjoy cheese with thinly sliced baguettes but it is also great on crackers.
Dollop some Beetroot Relish on top - the rich earthy texture and tangy aftertaste brings out the best in the cheese.
Eggplant and Quinoa Bake
Cut and salt one eggplant. Cook half a cup of white quinoa as per packet instructions. Once cooked add a tablespoon of chopped parsley and mint. Toast a tablespoon hazelnuts and almonds on a baking tray until crunchy. Fry the slices of eggplant in Canola oil until soft. Drain.
To assemble the dish, pour a third of the Tomato Sugo with chilli in a baking dish. Cover with eggplant, then quinoa and herb mix, followed by the rest of the Sugo. Top with toasted nuts and bake in a 180 degree oven for 15 – 20 minutes.
Serve with a green salad.
Simply heat the sauce and add a splash of white wine. Simmer for a couple of minutes and then add 350g of mixed seafood (for 4 people). Cook for about 5 minutes for the perfect marinara.
Eggplant stuffed with Ricotta
Slice one eggplant into 3mm thick slices lengthways and lay over a colander.
Sprinkle with salt and let the bitter juices run out.
Spoon half a cup of Ricotta into a bowl.
Add half a minced clove of garlic and a tablespoon of chopped parsley.
Rinse the salt off the eggplant and pat dry.
Grill or fry the eggplant slices in Sunflower oil until cooked.
Drain on paper towel and when the eggplant is cool enough, spoon some of the ricotta mixture and roll the slice of eggplant up.
Pour half a jar of Doodles Creek Sugo with Olive & Caper Sauce into an oven proof dish and place the eggplant rolls on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and place in the oven to warm through for about 20 minutes.

At School Experiences.
In school, adolescents are expected to be increasingly independent and organized in their work. These expectations can place a large load on all aspects of executive function. Basic organization skills can be very helpful in this regard. The list below can serve as a guide for teens to use.
Break a project down into manageable pieces. n Identify reasonable plans (with timelines) for completing each piece. Be sure that all steps have been explicitly identified and ensure that the completion of each step is recognized and celebrated.
Self-monitor while working. Set a timer to go off periodically as a reminder to check on whether one is paying attention and understanding. When you don't understand, what might be the problem? Are there words you don't know? Do you know what the directions are? Is there someone you can ask for help? Would looking back at your notes help? If you have stopped paying attention, what distracted you? What might you do to refocus? Identify key times to self-monitor (e.g., before handing in an assignment, when leaving the house, etc.)
Be aware of critical times for focused attention. Multitasking impedes learning. Identify ways to reduce distractions (e.g., turn off electronics, find a quiet room). n Use memory supports for organizing tasks. Mnemonic devices can be powerful tools for remembering information. Developing the habit of writing things down also helps.
Keep a calendar of Project Deadlines and Steps Along the Way.
After completing an assignment, reflect on what did and did not work well. Develop a list of things that have supported focused and sustained attention as well as good organization, memory and project completion. Think about ways to ensure that these supports are in place for other projects.
Think about what was learned from assignments that were not completed well. Was this due to a lack of information, a need to improve certain skills, bad time management, etc.? What would you do differently next time?

DIY Plywood Wall Calendar
Last week I revealed my office makeover and if you haven't seen it you can check it out here! Today I thought I'd highlight one of the simple DIY elements that's been helping me keep organized for the past several months.
In reality, as I'm sure is the case for most of us, my scheduling, appointments, and to-dos all live in various places on my phone or computer – i.e. my blog schedule is just a working Pages document saved in Dropbox, and everything else seems to land on my phone in either iCal or Wunderlist. But there's just something so beneficial about seeing it all at a glance and in once place.
A wall calendar. How novel, right?
My office is located just at the top of the stairs and is the pass through to both of the other bedrooms upstairs (our master is directly through those french doors). Because it's a traffic area I couldn't put a piece of furniture on that wall, but it's the perfect spot for a calendar.
I briefly looked into just purchasing a ready made wall calendar, but where's the fun in that? And mostly I kept coming up short in the cute/practical/large department; there wasn't a lot out there. Plus I like to see more than one month at a time to get a better feel for what's coming up.
I decided to repurpose the 3x4 piece of plywood I'd used to make a stenciled wreath two Christmases ago. I started by flipping it over and removing the ribbon and pieces of wood used to stabilize it.
Then I got to work figuring out how to arrange everything. This was the only time consuming part, because math. And I'm not completely satisfied with how I worked it all out, uh, because math... I miscalculated slightly and so the two calendars aren't identical. But it's not horrible and I'm choosing to ignore it, ok, fine, deal with it.
Once it was all laid out with painter's tape I sprayed it white. Rolling it on probably would've been preferable because it required a ton of spray paint to cover the raw wood, but I had the paint and the momentum and sometimes you just have to get it done before your resolve wears out.
Is that just me?
Then came the oh so satisfying part of peeling the tape away.
The whole point of the project was that it was supposed to be a cheap and quick DIY using mostly what I had lying around. So I had a little bit of a hiccup when it came to finding an affordable plexiglass option to go on top. Eventually I ended up ordering this piece from Home Depot. It wasn't nothing, but a large two month dry-erase wall calendar for $35 isn't bad.
I sprayed some screws gold, because why not, and then Luke helped me attach the acrylic to the plywood because I was paranoid about cracking it if I tried myself.
I've been using it since finishing it last September and I love it. The clean contrast of the natural wood with the bright white feels very modern. I wanted to make something that didn't feel too homespun or kitchy, just that nice blend of practical, but good-looking DIY, and I'm very happy with how it turned out!

Psychotherapy's Role in the Wider World
The Case for a New Kind of Self
William Doherty
By William Doherty -
At this time of fragmentation and division, therapists need to recognize that we're in the glue business. We know something about helping people connect, about how to form a healthy "we" out of self and other. But first our society needs us to recover our conviction and passionate intensity as a profession, our belief that we have something to offer beyond symptom reduction.

Therapy, the Conversational Craft
Strategies for Improving Your Therapeutic Conversation Skills
William Doherty
By Bill Doherty -
In this era of medical necessity and evidence-based therapies, it's easy to lose sight of the basic truth that psychotherapy is a special form of conversation: we heal not through prescriptions and procedures, but through talking and listening. What if we think of therapy as a conversational craft that we hone over a career with our clients and with a community of conversational healers?

Why We Shouldn't Be Neutral about Divorce
Divorced Couples Are Saying Something Important about Regret
William Doherty
By William Doherty -
When I began my therapy practice, I was strictly neutral about divorce. It was the clients' decision, not mine. But eventually, I was propelled out of my denial about the seriousness of divorce. We have a hundred ways to ask "What would be right for you?" and hardly any to ask "What would be right for others in your life?"

VIDEO: Addressing Political Stress in the Consulting Room
Reevaluating What's Appropriate to Discuss in Therapy
William Doherty
It's no surprise that, with all the political infighting going on, many people are anxious about the direction of our country. But is there room to discuss political matters with clients, or does this constitute an ethical breach? According to therapist Bill Doherty, clinicians are not only well-equipped to discuss politics, but sometimes have a duty to do so. In the following video clip from his 2017 Networker Symposium Keynote address, Doherty explains how to get the ball rolling.

Is Therapy About Transformation, or Small Breakthroughs?
Learning to Separate Our Hopes for Our Clients from Their Goals for Themselves
William Doherty
By William Doherty -
Are therapists more like shamans or family doctors? Explorers of human depths or more like Siri on your iPhone, just directing you from one place to another? I'm a skeptic about whether any clinical approach is good at getting clients consistently to the promised land of transformation. Maybe therapy is better understood as being about breakthroughs—small, medium, and large—rather than about transformation.

Eliminate Criminal Records
Eliminate criminal Records
Women's Wellness Within: An Organization Serving Criminalized Women asks for the elimination of criminal records in Canada.
The Conservative Government under Stephen Harper introduced the Tough on Crime Omnibus Bill C-10 in 2012, which made it more difficult for criminalized individuals to apply for and be granted a Pardon/Record Suspension. Bill C-10 increased the wait times to apply for a Record Suspension from 3–5 years to 5–10 years and increased the fee from $150 to $631. In addition, the applicant is responsible for covering the cost of fingerprinting and obtaining court and police records, which brings the actual cost closer to $1000.
Many employers, landlords, volunteer organizations, and Government social service agencies (for example, applying to foster or adopt children who may or may not be family members) require a Criminal Record Check.
Additionally, Stephen Harper gave the US government access to the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and they do not recognize Record Suspensions, so even if granted a Record Suspension, criminalized individuals are not eligible to visit the US.
Criminalized people are vulnerable and marginalized people. Having a criminal record is stigmatizing. The principle behind the Canadian criminal justice system is to punish an individual for their behaviour and to correct that behaviour through rehabilitation once they have served their sentence and debt to society. However, in reality, having a criminal record under the current Record Suspension system becomes a life sentence of discrimination, restriction, and oppression due to the barriers of time and money.
The increased wait times to begin an application for a Record Suspension are too long. Waiting 5–10 years to begin the application process in effect adds this length of time to a sentence. The increase in cost is prohibitive. It is too high and thus discriminatory to marginalized and oppressed people. It is not reasonable to expect a criminalized person to produce an extra $1000 while at the same time restricting their ability to get a job.
The actual application process also presents a barrier due to its onerous list of steps and requirements. The individual must have access to a computer, and is required to navigate difficult bureaucratic government and law enforcement departments and processes. They must fill out complex forms in an exacting manner and rely on the very system that charged, convicted, and jailed them for support if needed to get through the process.
Further, allowing the US Government access to CPIC, knowing that they do not recognize Record Suspensions, is unacceptable. In fact, it hands our Canadian criminalized individuals a life sentence of restricting their movements and violates their earned right to freedom.
Decades of research has shown that a key factor to reducing crime and recidivism is to make a positive and healthy integration back into the community as easy as possible. Eliminate the need for Record Suspensions. Once someone has served their sentence, they should be free and treated as any other citizen in Canada.
In lieu of eliminating Record Suspensions, we ask the government to rescind the changes to the process created by Bill C-10:
Eliminate waiting periods and application fees, which perpetuate the criminalization, stigmatization, and victimization of our most vulnerable and marginalized members of society.
Rescind permission and access of CPIC to the US Government. They are using the information in a way that further criminalizes and stigmatizes Canadian citizens in a way that violates their human rights.
Being criminalized and stigmatized does not just effect the individual — it affects their families, their children, and their communities. The research backs this up. Criminalized individuals need support and compassion to integrate into society in a positive and pro-social way.
Canada needs to be and can be a model for treating all citizens with compassion and fairness.

The Essential Laws of Supplies Explained
Why Use Rattan Garden Furniture The ultimate outfit of gardens and patios is providing an accommodation where people can sit to chat or just enjoy its surroundings and the climate. It is then important do carefully consider the type of furniture that you would be putting in this space in your garden where people can view the beautiful landscape and which is also exposed to the extremities of nature. If you are choosing furniture outdoors you have to choose something that is easy to move, because outdoors is not like the condition of our indoor spaces which are more stable in character; in the outdoors you can sit uncomfortably under the sun so you would want to move your furniture to a more shaded areas which means that your furniture has to be lightweight enough to easily carry it to another spot. Another value of your outdoor space is that it can be used to entertain friends, play games and sports. It is also a place frequented by children who would regularly run around and play. And this makes it necessary not to choose furniture that are hard and stiff which can hurt those who run into it, but you need something sturdy enough to take hard blows.
On Sales: My Experience Explained
A cost effective furniture is best for your open space. If a furniture is left to the element especially when they are in gardens and patios, they tend to decay faster than furniture is a secured place. This means that no sooner will you need to replace them than you would with your indoor furniture. This also means that you will need to find an alternative set that is not made out of wood and one that is easy to maintain.
Gardens – Getting Started & Next Steps
Rattan furniture is the best when it comes to fitting the criteria set above. Like wooden furniture, rattan furniture is as durable, yet it is not as expensive as the wood type of outdoor furniture. The popular belief is that rattan can easily be destroyed during inclement weather since is it lightweight and not as solid as the wooden types of furniture, but this is not really true. Weaving this natural material (which does not easily break) allows air-vents that offset the impact of a slapping wind. There are people who say that you cannot paint rattan furniture and thus you are left with its natural colors and unlike other types where there is a wide color selection. This also is not true.
