This moisturizer works differently than most formulas. As you rub it into your skin, the moisturizer begins to melt into your body without a heavy or thick finish. The clear formula looks like petroleum jelly, but has a less greasy and softer feel. It almost becomes a liquid on your face or body as you work the dry skin care cream into the area. EltaMD "Melting" Moisturizer (Intense Moisturizer) was developed to retain 90% of the moisture in your skin for at least 12 hours. Keep this slim moisturizer tube next to your bed for deep hydration all night long.
EltaMD "Melting" Moisturizer (Intense Moisturizer) is perfect for post-procedure or sensitive skin battling common concerns and irritation. The gentle, lightweight formula spreads easily and minimizes dryness deep below the skin's surface as you sleep. Apply it to dry elbows and heels to soften rough patches. You can also smooth it over areas with eczema, psoriasis or other concerns for reduced redness, flaking and itchiness. It's a great facial moisturizer for a retinoid regimen or after a peel that leaves your skin a little dry.

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do
Mother Knows Best
Guest articles > Mother Knows Best
by: Sharon Drew Morgen
Given what's going on in the world these days, I thought we all might need a bit of Sweet. Enjoy. SD
In 1981, I was a single parent of a young disabled son, working a full time job, living in Park Slope Brooklyn. Given my constant state of overwhelm, I decided to get a group of parents together to see if we could find ways to parent without nagging, or threatening, or cajoling, and maybe even free up time for us to enjoy our kids. I doubted I was the only parent in overwhelm mode. I put together a bit of a program design and convinced the local library to give me a room one night a week for 8 weeks for a Parenting with Integrity program. They gave me a room, coffee, and advertising. They were terrific.
About 10 parents showed up (although it grew) – mainly families from the police force and city workers, couples and single people. Agreeing how deeply we respected the individuality of our kids, and taking our jobs as parents seriously, we began with a core value to avoid the nasty 'parent' stuff of cajoling, punishing and threatening. We formulated our agenda: develop thinking that led to enabling our kids to safely, ethically make and recognize their own best choices, with life lessons imbedded.
One of the women had 5 kids aged 8-16. Susan complained that her mornings were hell trying to get them all dressed and fed and out the door. By the time she got to work, she said, it took her an hour to recover from the yelling and screaming and chasing and reminding and name calling and... We put our heads together and came up with a plan.
Over dinner the next night, Susan told the kids how their chaotic mornings left her unhappy and frazzled. So to make sure she got to work happy, and make sure their days would start off nicely, she was going to change a few things starting the next morning: She would announce when it was 7:00 a.m. and say it loudly to make sure everyone could hear; then, as she got herself dressed and prepared breakfast, she'd give them 5 minute updates until they all left the house at 7:45. She would no longer fight with them over getting up, eating breakfast, clothes or misplaced items. She assumed they would awake with either her voice or their alarm clocks, and eat breakfast if they were hungry. She assumed that whatever they were wearing at 7:45 when they left the house were the clothes they wanted to wear that day. And she wouldn't wait for any of them: if they weren't at the door at 7:45, they'd have to find their own way to school.
And she was hilariously, fiercely, deadly serious.
The next morning, Susan cheerfully chirped "It's 7:00 a.m. Morning everyone!" Then again at 7:05. "Hi kids. It's 7:05. Hey, did you see that the trees are beginning to bud? Take a look later. Pretty." 7:10: "I have pancakes for everyone on the table for whoever's hungry." And so on, until 7:45 when she got to the front door to leave. Indeed, there were 5 children waiting. And 3 of them actually had clothes on. The other 2 wore pajamas. Without saying a word, Susan cheerfully got them into the car, put on her favorite CD and sang all the way to their schools. During the drive not a word was spoken.
Two principals called her that day. Here was her conversation with one of them: "Did you know your daughter is wearing her pajamas today?" Yup. That's what she wanted to wear. "Um. OK. Just checking. I think the kids are making fun of her. But I've seen worse. Good luck."
At 7:45 the next morning, all 5 kids were ready and dressed. She never had another bad morning.
Wouldn't it be nice if we always knew how to create the circumstances that enable each other be our best selves?

Kolkata: Having scored a world record 264 in India's 153 run win against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma feels he has a lot more to achieve in the game and an odd failure will not stop his progress.
"Not relieved I would say. I still have a lot more to do. When I was young and wanted to play International cricket, I never thought this would happen," said Rohit when asked about his breathtaking innings in the post-match presser here on Thursday.
"All the records happen along the way. I probably need to work harder and from here on the expectation would be more. I feel I have a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders," said the Indian, who also became the first man to score two ODI double hundreds.
Rohit, who played his first international game today after an injury lay-off, had struggled against pace bowling in South Africa. He said couple of failures cannot stop his progress. "You have to accept the failure and success and you keep moving on. That's what I've done. A couple of overseas failures will not stop my cricket. My cricket and my hard work will still remain on the track. I will keep working hard as ever."
Rohit started his record-breaking innings slowly as he conceded a maiden to Angelo Mathews before stepping on the gas. The Indian opener gave credit to his partner Ajinkya Rahane for his quickfire 24-ball 28 that took pressure off him.
Admitting that he was struggling in the beginning, Rohit said: "Playing after two months from an injury layoff, I was feeling little out of place, I should accept that. The strikebreaking was not happening as naturally as it used to be. I wanted to get stuck in the middle that required a lot of dedication and determination. I had to build the innings. Initial 10-15 overs was not easy.
"I kept telling myself, no matter what, I need to stay there. Luckily the quickfire innings by Rahane really helped me settle down. I needed to stay there because I knew I can make up any time. I just wanted to make it count. I wanted to make this game special one for me and the team. Getting two double hundreds was really special."

Had a great time on our Napa tour! Felt we saw quite a bit of Napa for the short time that we had available on our California trip. The cost was very reasonable. Robin was a great guide and definitely made our experience! Knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Would recommend to others!
- Amy
We loved taking a small tour. Our group was fun and interesting. Aaron, our guide, was really terrific; he was so knowledgeable and engaging, and easily made everyone feel comfortable. We enjoyed Starmont and Andretti quite a bit. Spellticht was okay, and we learned quite a bit. However, it's location in an office park is not appealing. When you only have a chance to visit three wineries, they should leave a distinct impression. We took some other tours with Tower Tours (Muir Woods and Monterey), which were good, but we definitely preferred a small group tour. We will definitely use your company in the future, and will recommend it to everyone.
- Kerri
Wineries were ok relative to the cost.
- Diana
I would have loved to visit more scenic places. The most educational and best experience was unfortunate in a corporate park. The wine at all three wineries was delicious and all the staff was very nice. I would have just liked to go to more scenic places. Skip the driver was also amazing.
- Leslie
Dylan was a fantastic tour guide. My husband and I had a great time!
- Laura
My friend and I had a great time. We loved our tour guide. We were a little disappointed with Andretti Winery (the wine was pretty bad), but it was still really fun. The only other thing we wanted to point out was that the Canadian girls stole wine from Andretti behind the nice old man's back and then had the audacity to complain that they didn't get enough. We had a wonderful time but sometimes the people you're on a group tour with can damper the experience. We know you can't control this so 5 stars.
- Barbara
Our NAPA wine tour guide (Alberto) did a nice job. Spending the day in a van with strangers was fun due to the charming guide. Enjoyed the wineries.
- Alan
We received notification that we would visit Robledo Family winery but when we got on the van we found out it had been changed to Cline Winery for the benefit of other guests that were on the tour a day before. We were a bit disappointed since we had already been to Cline.
- Susan
It was a pleasant tour and the small bus was very comfortable. The driver was very personable and informative. I was disappointed that we didn't stop at the Golden Gate Bridge for pictures...I'm guessing because of heavy traffic. We seemed to run out of time and it felt hurried coming back to the city. One of the couples on the bus was extremely loud and boisterous...maybe too much wine? Overall it was a nice day...
- Jeff
The tour itself was wonderful as was our tour guide! My only complaint is that we got up very early to beat the traffic across the Bay Bridge so we could be picked up at a designated location in SF. However, when we left on the tour we went back across the Bay Bridge and drove right past the motel we were staying at! The option to be picked up where we stayed without having to get up at 5:30 in the morning to beat traffic would have been nice.
- Eleanor
The wineries themselves were fantastic. All the owners/wine makers were incredibly knowledgeable however it would have been better if they told us more about the wine flavours themselves. The tour host was personable and friendly. She made sure we stopped for the photo opp and clearly knew the area/owners well if not the wine. This may well be a cultural thing however her main issues was the amount of times she mentioned a tip. I counted at least 6 occasions where it was noted and although one could well have been due this was just rude. A tip is earnt not demanded. Overall a very good experience that I would do again. I must admit the drop off was a bit cheeky - its advertised door to door however it was clearly easily for the driver to drop us off at one location. I appreciate I was only a four block walk away however this was alittle bit lazy when advertised otherwise. The vehicle was great and sociable. The wine cards themselves were a bit pointless. No one had a chance to read them. Napa itself was amazing, thank you for a great day
- susan
The bus was VERY uncomfortable. It was the small bus where you sat facing one another. I did not like the Madonna winery. The guy took forever and we were there way too long. Oxbow was OK. I had gone on Sonoma tour a couple of years ago on a regular small bus with picnic lunch included and enjoyed that a lot more.
- Kristen
The tour was great despite it being the hottest day of the year in Napa! Our tour guide was nice and informative. The first winery was not very interactive-the woman/owner (can't remember names now) was more just telling us about wines rather than it being an interactive or fun experience. I really enjoyed Andretti winery because the people there were fun as well as informative during the tasting. We were kind of rushed out of Andretti, and even though I would have bought wine there we weren't given the chance before we were herded back on the bus (not sure if we were behind schedule). It would have been nice to be outside in the vineyards more but due to the heat we were confined inside, couldn't be helped. Overall good experience in Napa and I would recommend the tour to a friend!
- Keith
Our tour guide (Robin) was very pleasant and helpful. The transportation was on time and comfortable. Our first winery (Spellitich) was not quite what we were expecting in that it was not a vineyard, just a winery operation where they buy the grapes and make the wines. Very pleasant host who was full of the science and the knowledge. The wines were good although the portions were small. Our second winery was by far our favorite and that was the Andretti winery. This was what we were expecting. A nice, quiet beautiful vineyard that is what you would picture in Europe or something. Our host was excellent (I think his name was John). Full of energy and entertainment and the portions were plentiful!! Unfortunately, our third winery (Madonna) was very disappointing. Especially after coming from the Andretti winery. I would recommend that Green Dreams consider switching to a different winery than the Madonna one. Their vineyard is on a separate property which we did not see so all we did was walk into a room that was very noisy as it is right beside the high way. Our host was terrible, he provided a very short history of the winery and that was it. Essentially we all just sat around and he poured us 5 tasters and then he went back to his computer or his desk or whatever. No engagement, no descriptions, not information etc. The wines were ok but everything else was disappointing. Again, recommend finding somewhere different.
- David
The website advertises included pickup at the Customer's location which is not true. We were staying at Land's End area and had to Uber to a central location in town. The wineries chosen were very nice but didn't find Andretti Winery very welcoming. A nice experience overall with a few shortfalls.
- nelson
The tour is good , group size is small , the winery visit selection is interesting , The tour guide is good
- Silvia
Very nice tour, entertaining tour guide, nice wineries, would have liked to see me more the wine hills/the scenery of Napa.
- Robert
We attended the napa valley tour on June 19th. Our lunch break was 90+ minutes long - we would have preferred a shorter lunch break and a later start. The wineries were ok but not spectacular. In our opinion: the 1st one was less than memorable, the 2nd host was not very knowledgeable, we enjoyed the 3rd winery. Chris was knowledgeable, friendly and a great tour guide! We appreciated that youre carbon neutral!
- Divyaanshi
Overall the tour was great! Perhaps more time at the market would have been nice, especially since we were there during peak hours. If the pick up is going to be late, would be great to inform the guests as we waited for about an hour. More time outdoors in the vineyards would have been awesome, rather than indoors wine tasting. All in all a good tour, I will definitely recommend to my friends and family!

Vorskla vs Shakhtar: player comments
Players of the Donetsk team have reflected on the victory in Poltava.
Oleksandr Kucher, Shakhtar defender:
- For Vorskla it was the first official match, and we had already played two games of a higher level than in the Ukrainian championship. It is clear that it was not easy for the opponents, especially since we scored an early goal and they had to open up. But Vorskla are a good team. Four days later, we will play with them again. I think that game won't be like this one... As for my goal, it was a set piece situation that we practise in training, and I managed to finish off that long combination. Defenders score rarely, but at the right time!
Vyacheslav Shevchuk, Shakhtar defender:
- Vorskla cannot be called a weak opponent. This is a team with character, today they showed that too. Even after being reduced to ten men and trailing 0-4, Vorskla did not give up and tried to put pressure and organise counterattacks – they worked until the end in every episode, especially since that they were playing at home. There was a fight was on the field for 90 minutes. But at the same time we performed well, confidently controlling the game, creating a lot of chances and scoring. We also need to play well in the upcoming match with Vorskla in the championship. In today's game, we had some changes. There is high competition within our team, so it's okay. I would also like to single out young players. At Shakhtar, there have always been promising young footballers. They must continue to work and prove their worth. Everything is in their hands. We were young too and went through all of that, and now it is their turn. Mister trusts them.
Wellington Nem, Shakhtar midfielder:
- For three years, I have been giving my best in training, I am trying to show that I deserve to play. I am glad that Mister appreciates that. Today, I played in a familiar position. I played well with Maksym Malyshev. I am happy that I have managed to score after a good counter-attack, which also involved Taison. I dedicated the goal to my wife and our future child. We will have a son, his name will be Miguel.

We've got MK and Ashley, Elle and Dakota and Pixie and Peaches, but when it comes to rocking some Carrie Brawshaw eclecticism, the Coutin-Clairns sister have got it down!
Heirs to the Clarins empire, Claire and Virginie seriously know how to put together some colour. I'm generally one for black on black, but isn't their style incredible? I personally love their ability to mix what I assuming would be seriously high fashion, (high price tag), items, back with effortless low-key styles accents, (cue pattered Dr. Martins), L.O.V.E. and I must say I'm just a little jealous of their seemingly never ending supply of fab eyewear! (ok, I'm a lot jealous, I want it all NOW!)
What do you think of this super stylish due? Love them as much as i do?

Amazon is looking to automate app deployment on Amazon Web Services by introducing CloudFormation, a new tool that automatically allocates resources needed to deploy an application on the cloud.
The company says the tool will let developers focus their attention on building great apps rather than spending time on deploying the app on the cloud.
Amazon explained in a blog post: "AWS is programmable, so it should be possible to build even complex systems (sometimes called "stacks") using repeatable processes. Second, the dynamic nature of AWS makes people want to create multiple precise copies of their operating environment."
CloudFormation has been designed to work across various Amazon Web Services platforms including EC2, Relational Database Service and Elastic Beanstalk.
The tool works in three stages. Firstly, the customer informs the tool about the resources that are needed for deploying a complex application on the cloud; the tool then figures out how to allocate the resources needed for the deployment; and finally, it uses pre-designed templates to create a cloud stack.
CloudFormation is now available and free to anyone buying AWS products. Customers are required by Amazon to sign up for their services which the tool supports.

Nuedexta as it is called was approved on 30th October , and the company, Avenir, expects it to be available by prescription first quarter 2011 in the USA. UK patients don't hold your breath.
Interestingly, if you Google for Nuedexta, the first item is "Avanir Pharma shares double on FDA drug approval".
Gilenya, the new oral disease modifying drug for MS, is also to be available on prescription shortly. Whilst anything that does not involve sticking yourself with a needle on a regular basis is to be applauded, I for one will be watching to see the level of side effects once it reaches a wider population. Because I take Cordyceps, from which it was developed, I tried unsucessfully to join one of the drug trials.
I shall be tracking and comparing reported side effects with those reported as a consequence of the Liberation Procedure.I shall try to keep my personal thoughts and emotions out of it.
Talking of emotional incontinence, I was reminded today by someone that it can be hard to deal with the exuberence of the successful for those who tried CCSVI treatent and got no benefit.Yes there are some out there. It can be hard to remember those less lucky when it feels like a miracle in your own life.
The guy in question is still an advocate of CCSVI via the CCSVI Alliance. Kudos to him, it must be difficult sometimes. The site offers some excellent information, so go visit.

2010 Yearbook from New Hope Mahotas Adventist School
Posted by Caryn at 10:54 AM
The Colegio Adventista Nova Esperanca (New Hope Adventist School) in Mahotas, Mozambique began its new school year at the end of January. We received a note from one of the teachers this week saying:
We are well thank God. We are working for the growth of the school. We began the year with forty students, now we have 110 students. Forty-six students belong to first grade. These children have many needs, some of them do not have shoes, clothes, bags, books and notebooks to go to school.
We still have opportunities to sponsor children for this school year. For just $20 per month (or $240 per year), you can provide Christian education for a child in Mozambique.
If you would like to support a child, please mark your tithe envelope "Mozambique Scholarships" or pay through online giving in the Mozambique line. You can also join the "Birthday Club" by sponsoring a child in honor of someone's birthday (cards available at the S.o.S. booth or on the bulletin board display in the S.S.) wing).
Posted by Caryn at 11:24 AM
The Colegio Adventista Nova Esperanca (New Hope Adventist School) in Mahotas, Mozambique began its new school year during the last week of January. The primary school has begun its school year with 50 1st Grade students. They plan to accept up to 90 children in 1st Grade this year.
The new preschool building is finished and 40 children are attending with a goal to reach 100 preschoolers. The principal of the school is from Brazil and has returned for her second school year in Mozambique. We still have opportunities to sponsor children for this school year.
For just $20 per month (or $240 per year), you can provide Christian education for a child in Mozambique. If you would like to support a child, please mark your donation for Mozambique Scholarships. Checks can be mailed toNew Hope 12350 Hall Shop Rd., Fulton MD 20759 or New Hope members pay through online giving in the "Mozambique Scholarships" line at http://lookingforachurch.org/
Posted by Caryn at 7:37 PM
Americans consider education to be a right that all children are entitled to, but in other countries around the world such as Mozambique, education comes at a cost that countless families are unable to afford. During New Hope's S.o.S. mission trip to Mozambique in July 2008, we saw what happens to a country whose citizens are uneducated. About 20 years of civil war has left an entire generation illiterate, uneducated and unable to pull themselves out of the extreme poverty and difficulty in which they and their children are now living.
The school that New Hope's team helped build during the mission trip to Mozambique in July 2008 is now completed and scheduled to open in February 2009! On our last day in Mozambique, we paid one last visit to the school that we helped build. We were disturbed to learn that most of the children in the surrounding neighborhood would not be able to afford the tuition to attend the school that they faithfully watched us build for 2½ weeks. We decided that this could not be! New Hope's S.o.S. missions board has formed a student scholarship program that will enable us to sponsor students to attend the school.
The Plan: Provide tuition and uniforms to enable needy children to attend the "New Hope Mahotas Adventist School" in Mahotas, Mozambique.
The Cost: $240.00 per year which includes the cost of a school uniform that is required by schools in Mozambique. Many children are unable to attend school simply because their family cannot afford to pay for the uniform!
What You Get: You will receive a blessing for helping a child receive a Christian education who might otherwise not be educated at all. Just imagine how education can change a child's future! Thank you so much!
How To Give: Your donations will be tax-deductible. We encourage you to pay the $240 up-front if you are able, so that the student is guaranteed coverage for an entire school year and also to reduce administrative costs and tracking. If you prefer a monthly payment plan of $20/month for 12 months, please let us know. Payment options are:
1) Donations may be made at New Hope Church's website: lookingforachurch.org . Click on "Online Giving" (under "Quick Links" at the bottom) and log in or register as a new user, then designate your gift in the "Mozambique Scholarship" field. You will receive a receipt immediately after donating online.
2) You can also make your donations by checks made payable to "New Hope Adventist Church" and marked "Mozambique Scholarships". Please click to request a printable donation form to include with your payment, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Mailed or hand-carried donations will receive a receipt at year-end from the church.
You may also make a one-time donation to be used for the scholarship program. This gift will be combined with others to sponsor the largest number of students possible. NO GIFT IS TOO SMALL!
Thank you for considering educating a child in Mozambique. Please feel free to share this program with anyone that you think might be interested. The school has a capacity of 400 students, so there are plenty of children to help!

The needed treatment only cost about $5 for the anti-fungal cream and anti-parasite pill, but his family could not afford the doctor's visit and prescription. We administered the pill, rubbed the cream on his head and visited his mother to give her the medication so that she could continue treating Bernardo. By the end of our trip, the medicine had already begun to take effect and there was a noticeable change in Bernardo's disposition, as the other children seemed to be more accepting of him. We saw him smile!
Recently, some New Hope members visited Mozambique and found Bernardo well on the way to complete recovery from the parasites! They also learned that his parents earn about $60 per month and that it is hard to feed the family sometimes. If Bernardo's family couldn't pay for medical care, they certainly can't afford to pay for a quality Christian education.
The thought that Bernardo and other children in the neighborhood would not be able to attend the New Hope Adventist School was not acceptable to the New Hope S.O.S. team. As a result, New Hope has established a scholarship program so that children in Mahotas can obtain a Christian education. For just $20 per month ($240 per year), a child can attend the New Hope Adventist School in Mahotas. We intend for Bernardo to be one of the students. Would you consider sponsoring a child like Bernardo? For more information on the scholarship program or other S.o.S. activities, e-mail email@example.com
(Bernardo is pictured here with one of the New Hope Mahotas Adventist School teachers during the Jacobs' recent visit to Mahotas, they brought another batch of medicine for Bernardo's head which is healing up nicely!)

FACES we LOVE

THURSDAY, July 24: Visit to Orphanage
Several months ago, church and trip member Chris Howell gave us a DVD from his father to watch called "Mama Heidi", the story of Rolland & Heidi Baker of Iris Ministries who came to Mozambique to visit and were overwhelmed with the conviction to start an orphanage after seeing all the children living on the street without parents. They now have several orphanages and different churches and ministries all around Mozambique - even one in the city dump where we passed by and were shocked and saddened to see a ton of children pawing through trash looking for food.
After seeing the video, I contacted Iris Ministries and arranged for our group to have a visit at t he Zimpeto location after work on Thursday evening. It is located on a busy city street that we travel on everyday, and we were pleasantly surprised to see the school buildings and dorms offer a cleaner and better life than what most of these kids have available to them. At this time, they have 350 kids there, around 40 of which are HIV positive and only 50 of whom are girls which are more valued in this culture due to the work load that they carry. They accept HIV patients and take care of them, provide treatment and then get them back to their families when they're more stable. They also told us that only citizens of Mozambique are allowed to adopt Mozambican children. Guess we won't be coming home with that baby that my daughter asked for as a souvenier of our trip!
One striking observation that we have made while being here is that most people don't look happy - if you saw their living conditions and extreme poverty they live in, you would understand why. Even the children look so much less carefree and uninhibited than our kids at home, and the smiles don't come as often. They work hard and help out their families a lot more, carrying around and caring for babies when they're only babies themselves.
However, when our bus pulled in we were greeted with more smiling faces, hugs and kids wanting to hold our hands than we have ever seen! They were thrilled for the interaction and immediately started infiltrating our large group and talking to us. Some just wanted to hold our hands or give us hugs. The kids here just love seeing their pictures on the digital camera screen after you take a photo, and also enjoy taking the pictures and seeing them as well as video, so there was a lot of that going on. Chris Howell gave a few judo lessons, and Kim Ragenovich was seen on the climing wall of the playground with one of her new friends. David Newman was showing the kids his PDA and the kids were fascinated by that.
A few spoke English, but a particular boy that clung to me the entire time we were there named Ayobe, didn't even speak much Portuguese, but Shangan, a local dialect. Still, we were able to connect on an unspoken level as he led me around on my own private tour, holding my hand and leaning his head on me everywhere we went. I learned that he had only been at the orphanage about 2 months, and was there because he was HIV positive and his family couldn't afford the treatment he needed. He was lonely, being the new kid there, his face was sad, and he needed love. I was honored to both give and get that from him that night.
Our visit lasted nearly 4 hours, and was both heartbreaking, and gratifying to learn about and love on these kids. We joined them for worship in the evening and were so happy to see the level of joy that they had while praising their God. Another particularly endearing boy named Genito, told Dave and Ron (our volunteer coordinator here) that although his parents and sisters were all dead from "the disease", he had a new family there at the orphanage and that Dave & Ron were now his brothers too, "because we are all in God's family". An entire sermon was spoken to us with just a few words by a boy who has lost everything but hope.
As we reflected on the evening during our sharing time, we all agreed that it was a gut-wrenching but powerful experience, like most things here have been. The needs are so overwhelming that there seems to be no hope and no solution to fix all these problems. However, all through the week we have had experience after experience of what happens when you take the time to really see, touch, and connect with "just one" person at a time and that has made it all worthwhile.

WEDNESDAY, July 23: New "HOPE SOAP"
At the school job site today, it was a bit frustrating when it started pouring down rain and the building crew had to stop working. Everyone loaded the bus, ate their lunch and decided to wait out the rain. Imagine their surprise, when some of the children that had attended VBS earlier in the week and received soap, stripped their clothes off down to their undies, and soaped up right there in the rain and gave a shower show not soon to be forgotten!

WEDNESDAY, July 23: Medical
Today we visited the remote village of Mucapane, about 1/2 an hour past the Mucatini where we held the clinic for 2 days and gave out the rice, beans and soap. It would definitely be classified as "out in the bush", with no electricity and huts made from reeds. Hardly anyone had a pair of shoes on. We saw some new things today we had not seen before - one was a two year old child who fell into a fire and burned her leg (see picture). When I went outside, I heard her just wailing, the poor thing was in so much pain. Part of the problem was when her calf would touch the back of her thigh, it would stick to the other wound and get re-opened. We also saw a man with elephantitus all over his legs and feet. They looked like barnacles all over, and his skin was terribly cracked and was bleeding while Elizabeth was working on him.
The person that we saw that was the worst off was a lady who said she was 36, but looked like she was well over 60. She was suffering from bacterial pneumonia and possibly also tuberculosis. Though she only lived about 100 feet from the church where we held the clinic, by the time she walked there, she collapsed from exhaustion. Before we left for the day, we went to her hut to check on her and she seemed to be feeling a little better. We left some re-hydration salt water bottles with her and will check on her in the morning when we go back to the same village for tomorrow's clinic. Elizabeth, Theresa and the Pastor that accompanies us and helps translate for us, prayed with her and we all hope that she is still alive when return to Mucapane tomorrow.

MONDAY, July 21: MEDICAL MISSION
We returned today to the village of Mucatine, where we held the clinic on Friday and also passed out the rice & beans & soap on Saturday. Again, we set up shop in "Mama's" house and in the several hours we were there, saw 108 patients. Some tuberculosis cases, chicken pox, a lot of back pain (from carrying all those heavy things on their heads!), a horse accident victim, ear infections, parasites, etc. Today, the chief of the village and his wife came for help, and he seemed happy that we were here to help his people.
Though we know a lot is being accomplished, there are many people that we have to turn away at the end of the day. The needs are so great, that a clinic could be run in one village for weeks and probably not be enough to see all the people with illnesses. What's been shocking to us all, is how long some of these folks have been dealing with particular illnesses, sometimes for 5, 10, 15, 20 years! How long will we wait to go to the Dr. when we have issues that plague our daily lives? It was again, a good reminder of just how good we have it back home. The patience and thankfulness of these people has touched us all. "Kanimambo" they told us, which means "Thank You" in the Shangana dialect of the village of Mucatine.

MONDAY, July 21: VBS
We hit record numbers today with a count of around 450 kids! We have quickly outgrown our space which has been a challenge, but such a beautiful sight to see. One cool thing that was observed, was the kids making their own see-saw out of concrete blocks and scaffolding planks. They also saw that the kids made their balls out of fabric or what looked a little like nylons, with sand inside and shaped and tied into a ball. Resourceful!
Posted by Caryn at 4:32 PM
MONDAY, July 21: BUILDING CREW
Today, the brick and mortar on the left side of the school is about 60% complete. The right side is about 50% done. Our hope is to finish the brickwork for the entire school. What stood out today, was the growing interaction with the local workers that we are working along side. They're extremely helpful, kind and understanding to those of us who are inexperienced brick masons. We have been quite impressed when we see the structures that Maranatha is building here in Mozambique, they are simple but more than adequate for the needs here. We are happy to be a part of such a professionally operated organization, whose presence the people of Mozambique appear to really respect and appreciate!

MONDAY, July 21: WELL DRILLING
WELL DRILLING: The second well at the Mahotas church proved to be just as productive as the two at the school - this one was 75 gallons per minute and clear water, once again! What stuck out today was the interaction with the kids - they are so interested in what we're doing and love to give us "thumbs up", high-fives, sing songs to us, and play in the 8'x4' mud tub that we carry with us that is used to mix the drilling fluids in. There was also man that lives right next door to the church that at first, was upset at the mess we were making in his yard, then thrilled when he learned that he would be receiving free water from the mess we were making! He then he ran off to tell his friends about the water that will soon be available.

SUNDAY, July 20: FACES of MOZAMBIQUE
First, let me apologize that I'm not able to share more pictures from here. Although we have a wireless connection, it is extremely slow and it took me 2 full evenings just to load 4 pictures and some text on the other day! I PROMISE when we return I will put more pictures on, several videos and also links to literally HUNDREDS of pictures from our time here. For now, I try every night to put at least one on with the updates. This time, I would like to share some of the faces of the people we are serving here inj Mozambique. Enjoy! Caryn

SATURDAY, July 19:Rice and Beans distribution
On Saturday afternoon, our group went to the remote village of Mucatine which is where the medical team held their clinic on Friday. The medical team was greeted with hugs and cheers by "MAMA", the matriarch of the village and whose house we held the clinic in on Friday, as well as others who received care that day.
We distribute over 150 bags of rice and 150 bags of beans to the villagers there, as well as hundreds of bars of soap that were part of the 4000+ collected through our "GOT SOAP?" campaign. The group took turns distributing so that all could have the experience of how it feels to give something so simple that would make such an impact. Timothy witnessed a man who took some beans out of the bag and said that he was going to plant them so that they could grow more.
We also sang with the kids, and then in response to our gift of food and soap, Mama started singing and others joined in, dancing in their very tribal way, with tongue trills and howls that made us smile and laugh. Then they invited us to join them in their joyful tribute to us, which was a completely overwhelming and beautiful experience, bringing many of us to tears. We sang back to them, and then boarded our bus to go home (after getting stuck in the dirt a few times).
The experience was nothing that we expected, but everything we could have hoped for as we watched them joyfully thank us for a simple meal of rice and beans, and a bar of soap in their own special way. The videos, which we are unable to load until we get home due to file size, will show you what we mean. Can't wait to share it with you all!

FRIDAY, July 18: WATER WELL PROJECT
The water well that was started on Wednesday at the Mahotas school site was developed yesterday and produced over 100 gallons per minute, which at U.S. usage would supply about 200 homes with water! The second well for the school was started today and should be done on Sunday. Once the pumps are installed and the water testing is completed, we plan to pass out water to the local children who have been at the site for VBS and who will be benefiting from these wells. Studies show that so many of the illnesses and disease that are so rampant in conditions like these, can be completely eliminated by simply having clean water available. ! Isn't it amazing how something like water that is so basic and vital for us, is again considered a luxury to these people?

FRIDAY, July 18: SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT
Our building crew has been building their muscles this week! In just 3 days, the crew, consisting of around 24 people, have completed an entire side of the school building. The first 2 days were dry-stack (no mortar, but interlocking bricks) and today they began the block & mortar construction on the interior walls. They have been physcially worn out at the end of the day, but I know they feel good about all that is being accomplished in such a short amount of time!
Posted by Caryn at 4:17 PM
Here is one picture from today's VBS which had at least 300 kids in attendance! After reinforcing the importance of handwashing and killing germs, our team gave each child a full-size bar of soap to take home with them. We decided to do this as the kids were leaving after being told how crazy things can get, with an almost mob-like mentality and can get dangerous for the children. The kids were so thrilled to receive the soap that they quickly ran home to tell their parents, who then returned asking for more soap - something that is so basic to us felt like Christmas to them! Thank you to all who contributed the 4000+ bars of soap that were raised for this purpose! We look forward to giving more out tomorrow and in the days to come!
Posted by Caryn at 10:04 AM
THURSDAY, July 17:
Our second day on the job was as full and exciting as the first! VBS had about 175 kids today, most of who were waiting for our group when they arrived in the morning, and stayed for VBS and then until our group left to go back to camp in the evening. Other than VBS, our group interacted with the kids all day long, playing games, singing, etc. During VBS, we reinforced some public health issues like the importance of hand washing and in conjunction with this message, tomorrow some of the 400 soap bars we raised with the "Got Soap?" campaign will be given to the children. We learned before coming over, that soap was a real luxury and would be a nice gift to pass out.
The medical team returned to the village of Machu Bitane where we were yesterday, and treated another 65 patients today. Today's crowd was different from yesterday, with about 3 different dialects being spoken and different types of illnesses than what we saw yesterday. There were AIDS cases, and a lot of dehydration. Today there were more adults than children, but we still had plenty of them to receive the candy, and the rest we threw out the windows of the bus while we were whisking by groups of kids. The people are always very warm and welcoming, waving to us when they see us in our bus! Tomorrow we will be going to a new village.
WELL DRILLING: For starters, we had a crowd around the well as it shot water out - first dirty brown, then all watched as it turned crystal clear. We are testing the water forr potability now. Tomorrow, the pump will be put in and soon it will be operational. VBS was going on at the time the well produced water, so the kids were thrilled to see the first of two wells that will be on the school's property, and the well drilled today was for the community, the new water source for the very children there today!

"Mozambique Minutes" from the S.o.S. Team
TUESDAY, July 15: We left Jo'burg, S.A. on a large bus which was not quite greyhound, and made for tinier people than we, but was cheaper than flying and allowed us to see a lot of countryside - some beautiful, and some so unbelievably poor and meager, that they can barely be called a "shack" , yet are home to large families.
We soon found out our that 6 hour bus ride was actually closer to a 9 hr. ride. We've learned that not much is exact or precise here, and what's a few hours more on the road? We had a little excitement at the border crossing, when our bus driver dropped us off and said he had to go get gas, even though we had just stopped for a 15 minute break a few miles back which seemed odd even to our tour guide/escort, who had instructed us to leave all our belongings (cameras, etc) on the bus while we got approved to leave South Africa and enter Mozambique. We then waited for a while for the bus to return, and then our guide told us to walk on foot into Mozmabique and clear their border and the bus would pick us up there, rather than us waiting around any longer. This all seemed reasonable until an hour and a half later when the bus was still not back. Eventually Dave Wooster and Cesar Tejeda decide to walk back to S. Africa and look for our bus, which ended up meeting them just after passing the border. Turns out he had problems crossing the border with an empty bus and 38 people's luggage and they thought that was suspcious. Sure had us a little nervous for a while, and delayed our trip even more, but made for an adventurous day! We arrived at the Maranatha Volunteer camp tired and hungry but were thankful for a warm meal (it's chilly here at night!) and got a good night's rest so we were ready for our first day of work.
WEDNESDAY, July 16: Big day, our first day out as our 3 groups - Well, Medical & Building all started our first day on the job. The building crew finished an entire 1/2 of one side of the school building, so a lot of bricks were layed and we have some weary and worn campers here tonight. The well drillers finished 1/2 a well and should get water tomorrow, for the well at the Mahotas school the building crew was working on. The well drilling crew had about 75 onlookers and provided a lot of entertainment - TV, Mozmabique style!
VBS operated today inside one of the partially finished rooms in the school we're working on. It's amazing how quickly word travels, a few kids ran back and grabbed their friends, and all of a sudden they had about 100 kids there. They imagine it will double for tomorrow night - the last group that was here ended up with abotu 500 by the time the week was over! We're so grateful to have a few portuguese speaking people in our group, portuguese-translated materials and even music in portuguese - so much more meaningful if the children can actually understand what they're hearing! The leaders learned that Brazilian portuguese has some differences from Mozambican portuguese, but thankfully children are a pretty forgiving audience!
The medical mission consisted of 13 today with 2 being translators and 1 a local pastor, 2 doctors and 4 nurses. Our place was really remote, more than an hour down a dirt road off of a main road, what probably is classified as "the bush", a 2 hr. drive away from camp. On the drive there, we were just astounded at the extreme poverty and filth that is Mozambique, one of the poorest countries in all the world for reasons we saw today. It's something you can hardly explain in words, you just have to see it. (I will try to post some pics tomorrow night, as it's well after midnight now).
The pastor ran 2 km to get a key to open the church where we set up the clinic and before we opened around noon, we had probably 30 people lined up already, and in less than 4 hrs saw about 45 patients. We saw a lot of parasites, fungal infections, fevers, tummy aches, and a 24 day old baby with RSV that will most likely not make it. This mother and her 4 children walked 12 miles one way today to get care - just one amazing display of the desperation of a mother who loves her children and wants them to be well. We had to turn away people and close by 4:00 to get back to camp but will return to the same place tomorrow.
After dinner each night we have a little devotional and sharing time as we "de-brief" about the day's events and experiences. The comments that were expressed during our sharing time tonight included "complaining is stupid" and "I will never again be ungrateful for all that I have". It's been an eye-opener, for sure, a perspective reminder to not sweat "the small stuff".
I am blogging from the comfort of my tent (they do have wireless here!), and although it's a little chilly, some of our showers were cold tonight and there are several dogs barking like crazy that I'm sure are keeping most of the camp awake, we KNOW just how good and blessed our lives really are. Until next time....stay tuned!

Solar EclipsePosted by: vkwspirit / Category:
Beginning today with the solar eclipse, several big events are expected to occur over the next couple of months. They say it has been 18 years since the last solar eclipse. Many towns on the East coast have scheduled big gatherings to observe this event. Here in the mid-west we will not see much of it; however, the energy of the event will still be available for those of us seeking assistance with the changes within our lives.
Imagine what this event means on a very deep level. The sun represents the Masculine, or in Native American teachings, the Grandfather. It carries the wisdom of the energy that takes us out into the world and really warms the dreams, creations, soul-level gifts that are sitting in our hearts "percolating!" The power within the sun really helps us bring forth and carry out into the world what we have to offer. The masculine energy gives us the courage to take the action needed to see those gifts come to fruition.
The moon represents the Feminine, or in the Native American teachings, the Grandmother. This energy is what holds and births our gifts. It is in the quiet darkness within that our deepest dreams are created. As the moon shows her face in the darkness of the night, so in the silence within our hearts, we touch our core that carries our dreams. Within the darkened cave of our inner being, human guidelines and rules have little influence. This is why meditation is so crucial to our overall well-being in every level of our lives. It was described to me in the following way: Prayer is talking to God, Meditation is listening to the divine!
The Creator of the Universe is giving us the opportunity to access the dynamic and powerful energy both the Moon and Sun have to offer. Why not use that energy to help "rebalance" your feminine and masculine (yin and yang)? If for only a few moments you "sit in the silence of your heart"and witness the intimacy between two very powerful forces, I am certain you will feel the passion within yourself conceiving new dreams!

Brentwood, Essex
When St. Thomas Chapel ceased to be used as parish church for Brentwood a new church was commissioned and constructed in 1835. It had a short and rather blighted history having been built very poorly indeed and almost immediately bits started to fall off.
In 1881 the new church was begun to designs by local architect Mr E C Lee. The second church was demolished and for a brief period Brentwood was without a church. Enough of the new church was ready for it to be consecrated in 1883. The tower was completed in 1887 and the interior work was all completed by 1897.

|It's Coming
REGINA -- After one of the most tumultous off-seasons in the 106-year history of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, that's now behind us and it's finally time to start playing football. For real.
It starts Thursday night when the Roughriders open the 2016 regular season at home to the Toronto Argonauts in Week 2 of CFL action (8:00 pm Sask Time, TSN, CKRM Rider Radio Network).
Everybody knows by now what the franchise went through in 2015: a 3-15 season, the first-ever mid-season double firings of a Coach and a GM, the subsequent hiring of the first-ever dual role Head Coach/GM (Chris Jones) on December 7, and then a complete and thorough overhaul of the roster which included bidding adieu to legendary players Weston Dressler, John Chick and Chris Getzlaf.
After 30 free agent tryout camps across the U.S. this winter, a spring minicamp in Florida, three weeks of training camp in Saskatoon and an 0-2 preseason, the next step of the journey is regular season game action.
And Chris Jones and company continue to tinker with their roster as they go, adding a pair of quarterbacks (G.J. Kinne and Bryant Moniz) over the weekend as well as former Carolina Panthers receiver Armanti Edwards, who was eye-popping in Sunday's first "official" team practice of the year.
"It means we'll always be on the lookout for the next people that we feel like we need to win football games," Jones said of the most-recent roster moves. "That's it. We're never going to be resting on our laurels, let's say. We're trying to find the right ingredients to win games. There's no ulterior motives."
Jones has the highest winning percentage (.722) of any active CFL coach and his track record of success is just as much of a trademark as his long-sleeved, buttoned up black shirts. The Rider Nation seems willing to be patient with the rebuild knowing Jones' history of success will ultimately follow him to the 306.
The only lingering question is: How long will it take? And will they have it together in time for Thursday's season-opener?
"That's the magic question," surmised Carm Carteri, a former Roughriders linebacker who's entering his 28th season as the club's radio colour commentator. "I'm not sure how this team's going to react. I'm hoping they'll be able to react well. You know Chris Jones will have them coached up but what surprised me is they had five days off during the bye week, right after training camp.
"Having said that they had a great first day on the field on Sunday and have three more good work days before the game. They're gonna be alright. Do I think they'll win? I'm more worried about the Argos. They got embarrassed at home (42-20 by Hamilton) in Week 1 so they're going to come in here fired up. The Riders are going to have to be at their best."
Of that, there is no doubt. But is their best - at this point - going to be good enough?
We're going to find out Thursday night.
Meanwhile perhaps the final distasteful remnants of the 2015 season were buried last week at the club's Annual General Meeting when team President Craig Reynolds announced a $4.3-million loss before franchise shareholders.
Many Rider fans have asked me how badly that reflects on the club but to be honest, I don't really know. So for that answer I went to former Roughriders President Tom Shepherd who knows his way around a balance sheet and has experienced firsthand the darkest days this franchise has ever had to offer.
"When you're looking deeply into the figures, some of that was one-time costs like writing off the rest of the cost of the two stadiums (old and new Mosaic Stadiums) and the contracts of last year's coach and general manager," Shepherd explained. "It sort of adds to the loss, and it really is a loss because the money is gone, but it's not a loss that will be repeated. On the football part of the operations, it was probably close to a million dollars that they lost, not the $4.3-million because they were one-time costs like I said. All those seats they put in for the Grey Cup, the costs of the contracts of the coach and GM, instead of writing that off over a whole bunch of years, they got rid of it all on the books for 2015 and that increased the losses tremendously.
"Any loss is bad, but it's understandable that they did that sort of thing with it. Definitely losing costs money and for the first time ever, my Friends of the Riders Lottery was down significantly. We still made $500,000 on the lottery, which was nice, but we've made $1-million annually for years. What was the reason for that? I don't know scientifically but I think people took a little holiday from spending money. I don't know, that's just how I feel."
Perhaps now 2015 truly is behind us.
And finally, thankfully, we can look ahead.
It was a cool, cloudy day for the 90-minute workout. The temperature hovered around 12 degrees Celsius but the rain stayed away...
A welcome sight -- #49 linebacker Jeff Knox Jr. back practicing. The reigning Roughriders MVP, Most Outstanding Defensive Player and Most Outstanding Rookie missed almost all of training camp in Saskatoon plus both preseason games ...

As Scruffy wrote on his blog this morning regarding Winnipeg, "They are who we thought they were".
Hopefully the bugs have all been worked out. I'd rather have credible statistics as a league than have all of our games shown on ESPN. They are that important, which most of you already know.
The Week 1 statistical report was in my inbox when I awoke Monday morning so the boys are off to a good start, however it didn't have individual leaders.

The team at Holiday Inn Melbourne Airport has found some bucket list destinations for family holidays to share with you. Consider one of these destinations for your next overseas family adventure.

Must visit attractions include: Universal Studios at the family friendly Sentosa Island and Gardens by the Bay. If you are looking for a little more adventure then why not try the Forest Adventure Rope Course.
Stop over in Dubai
Dubai is the stopover point for many overseas destinations. However instead of flying straight back to Australia, why not stop for a few days? Dubai is known for its towering skyscrapers, but still retains much of its cultural heritage.
Must visit attractions include: Jumeriah Mosque and Bastakiya Quarter will take you on a journey to what the Middle East was like in the mid 19th Century. For those looking for a splashing fun time then Wild Wadi Waterpark is for you with 30 rides and attractions from the much loved Arabian Folklore Juda.

Osaka is the second largest city in Japan and attracts many families due to its food, shopping and attractions. The city is known as the 'Nations Kitchen', which is a literal metaphor comparing Osaka to the common household kitchen.
Must visit attractions include: Nara Park where your family can get up close and personal with the deer to feed them 'deer-crackers', Tempozan Ferris Wheel and the Osaka Aquarium. Delight your taste buds at Granknot Coffee or Aj-Ho-Daimaru which are famous for their takoyaki.
Discover Cairo
Cairo is the capital and largest city in Egypt and visiting with kids can be a delight. Let your children be amazed and excited by getting close up to ancient monuments.
Must visit attractions include: Giza Pyramids and Sphinx where your family can enjoy the ultimate desert adventure on a camel ride. Cruise through the Nile River like the ancient Egyptians did in a felluca (a traditional Egyptian sailboat). If you are looking for an activity where the kids can run around, then the Al-Azhar Park is the place for you. When you leave an Egyptian restaurant you will never go hungry. For an authentic experience then Abou El Sid restaurant is a great place to start. If you are wanting something a little more modern then Zooba may just be the place.

Today, I went to go collect my mom from the hospital. Again. When we got home, I had to wait to pull into the driveway because the mail lady was getting something out of the back of the van, and it would have been rude to just run her down. She pulled a large red object out, and I came thisclose to peeing my pants. My friend Christina is AMAZING. Seriously. I honestly don't know how I lived before I had her in my life. She made me the most perfect gift!
Obviously, she put a lot of effort into it. It's super meaningful yet very simple and extremely effective. The ball really is a ball of joy. It's COVERED in scriptures! I want everyone else to be blessed, so here they are:
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" Psalm 147:3
"You turned my wailing into dancing, You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy that my heart may sing to You and not be silent. O Lord my God I will give thanks forever." Psalm 30:11-12
"He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy." Job 8:21
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
"Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy in His dwelling place." I Chronicles 16:27
"Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5
"Let all who take refuge in You be glad, let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your Name may rejoice in You." Psalm 5:11
"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is a fullness of joy..." Psalm 16:11
"He restores my soul; He leads me to the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." Psalm 23:3
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. At His tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy..." Psalm 27:6
Seriously, Christina. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. The timing was perfect, you are such a wonderful friend, and I am so blessed by you! Love you!

Neuro Connect™ Balance Clip
What is it?
Neuro Connect™ Balance is a single device that is worn on the midline of the body. It can simply be clipped to the front of a shirt or blouse.
Neuro Connect™ Balance clip was developed by Dr. Mark Metus, a chiropractor in Collingwood ON, and a team of physicists. Repeated clinic-based studies suggest it may improve the ability to balance in both young and old.
These are many testimonials about Neuro Connect™ Balance
- Dr. Metus developed the device for his mother. She reported a positive response immediately upon wearing a Balance clip.
- Another lady described her increasing inability to be able to pull her jeans on while standing and that this issue was immediately corrected when wearing a Balance device.
- A 63-year-old man testifies to a dramatic improvement immediately after wearing a Balance clip.
Neuro Connect™ Balance unlocks the science that optimizes your ability to improve your balance
Improve Balance and Muscle Control
The cerebellum also referred to as the "little brain," is a structure that is located at the back of the brain at the base of the skull where it meets the spine. It represents approximately 10% of the brain's volume, yet it contains over 50% of the total number of neurons in the brain. The cerebellum is involved in position detection by constantly receiving messages about the position of the body from the inner ear, eyes, muscles, and joints. It then modifies messages going to the muscles to provide postural adjustments required to maintain balance.

Holy Week mass schedule, St. Peter's Parish
Today begins Holy Week, known to me as "a grand liturgical celebration," known to many children as "the week we spend too much time in church."
Here's the schedule for St. Peter's & St. Andrew's in Worcester, which I am posting as much for my own reference as anything else.
Holy Thursday: 7pm mass at St. Peter's. The big multi-lingual mass. Afterwards, eucharistic adoration at both St. Peter's and St. Andrew's, then visiting 7 other churches as a parish.
Good Friday: Separate from the parish, the SS. Francis & Therese Catholic worker will have their annual "contemporary" stations of the cross, gathering at 52 Mason St at 11:30am. "Join us in a walk to reflect on contemporary examples of Christ's suffering. Soup and bread to follow."
On the parish level, stations of the cross inside St. Peter's at noon, followed by outdoor stations beginning at St. Peter's School at 2pm.
7pm liturgy at St. Andrew's.
Holy Saturday: Easter Vigil mass 7.30pm at St. Peter's.

Stranger Things' Shannon Purser Did Not Expect Her Emmy Nomination At All
Did anyone else jump out of their chair and do a major happy dance once you saw that Shannon Purser, aka Barb from Stranger Things, was nominated for an Emmy?!
We know it wasn't just us!
Shannon spoke to ET following the nominations announcement, still in shock over it all.
"I don't see how it could get much better than this, for sure," she admitted. "It's been really sweet to see how many people are excited and you know, encouraging me. So yeah, it's incredible."
As for how she found out about the nomination, Shannon was actually on a plane!
"I turned on my phone and all these text messages and posts and tweets started flooding my inbox… I found out on a plane, and I was trying to keep my cool, because I'm stuck in this tiny space with like, a couple hundred other people. It's crazy!"
"My brain just kind of shut down. There are no words," she added. "I just didn't expect it in a million years."
Now, there is Justice For Barb, even showrunner Matt Duffer agrees.
"It's proof she won't be forgotten," he told EW. "Shannon took this… it's barely a three-episode role and somehow turned it into what became this iconic character so I don't know how she did it."
Wow. I am so incredibly honored. Thank you so much. Congratulations to all the other incredible nominees. @TheEmmys

This evening, I had another play with CAP2, it really is great software, but I feel it will take a long time to get to grips with....
So I have made another page dedicated to mum. I miss her a lot right now, and can hardly believe she has been gone 7 months.

text: A confusion centered round the meaning of a clause in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules is creating controversial interpretations and causes rivalry between the drugs control department and the private hospital managements in Kerala for the last 24 years. The controversy is about one clause in item five of schedule K of the D&C Rules which mandates a registered medical practitioner to dispense medicines to his/her patients without a trade licence from the state drugs control department.It is high time the office of the DCGI intervened and clarified the clause in the D & C Rules because due to the lack of clarity in the meaning, a legal tussle is going on between the enforcement authorities and the hospitals led by their association Qualified Private Medical Practitioners Association (QPMPA).The QPMPA, which has undertaken the issue for legal fight, argues that under Schedule K of Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, the registered medical practitioners (RMPs) are exempted from taking license from the DC department for stocking and dispensing of drugs to their own patients. Whereas, the state drugs control authorities are of the opinion that a single doctor can keep medicines and dispense them to his/her patients, but he is not authorised to set up a pharmacy in his hospital or hospital premises and sell medicines to the patients across the counter. The RMP can stock and dispense the drugs in his cabin, but a separate pharmacy does not come under his control.The issue had come up before the High Court in Kerala 24 years ago and its verdict came in favour of the drugs control department. Later, the hospital management's body approached the Supreme Court, but it redirected the case to the High Court for more clarification. At last, seeking clarity on the part of the clause, the QPMPA wrote a letter to the office of the president of India, which directed the drugs controller general of India (DCGI) to sort out the matter and go for amendment if required. But so far no discussion has been held in this matter in any platform.Even today, the national secretary of QPMPA, Dr Kishore Kumar, advises all the private hospital managements that hospitals run by a single medical practitioner does not need licence for their pharmacy as they are exempted from drug licence and are authorized to procure, stock and dispense medicines. So it is the duty of the national regulator to clarify the clause and clear the confusion.

SAN DIEGO -- Liraglutide (Victoza) induced greater reductions in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) than other diabetes medications, a meta-analysis of phase III trials of the drug showed.
Liraglutide was significantly better than oral therapies -- sitagliptin (Januvia), sulfonyureas, and thiazolidinediones -- across nearly every level of baseline HbA1c, according to Robert Henry, MD, of the University of California San Diego.
It tended to be better than the injectable medications exenatide (Byetta) and insulin glargine (Lantus), although the differences failed to reach statistical significance for most comparisons, Henry, who is president for medicine and science of the American Diabetes Association, reported at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists here.
It is known that glycemic control deteriorates over time, and that glycemic targets are often not met with current drugs, Henry said.
That indicates "that while we have a lot of very good therapies for the management of type 2 diabetes, there's still an unmet need in achieving and maintaining glycemic control," he said.
And although existing medications are effective, the progressive nature of type 2 diabetes makes it difficult for any single therapy to maintain long-term effectiveness, according to Henry.
Other issues are treatment-related tradeoffs like weight gain, hypoglycemia, and tolerability, as well as the increasing complexity of treating diabetes, to the point where it is "probably far too difficult for the average care provider to implement," Henry said.
To compare the effectiveness of various diabetes treatments, Henry and his colleagues performed a meta-analysis of seven phase III trials evaluating a 1.8-mg dose of liraglutide -- the six LEAD (Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes) trials plus the 1860 study. There were 2,829 total patients.
Background therapy varied in the trials, and included -- in varying combinations -- none, metformin monotherapy, and metformin plus sulfonylureas or thiazolidinediones. Control groups received both oral and injectable therapies.
The patients in the meta-analysis were stratified by baseline HbA1c -- 7.5% or lower, 7.6% to 8%, 8.1% to 8.5%, 8.6% to 9%, and higher than 9%.
All of the diabetes therapies improved glycemic control across baseline HbA1c levels, with the greatest reductions occurring in those patients who started with the highest HbA1c.
The greatest reductions, however, were observed in the liraglutide group, ranging from 0.7% in the patients in the lowest baseline HbA1c group to 1.8% in the highest.
The corresponding values for sulfonylureas and sitagliptin were 0.1% to 1.3% and for thiazolidinediones were 0.2% to 0.5%.
Liraglutide was significantly better (P<0.05) at lowering HbA1c compared with sitagliptin for each baseline HbA1c category, compared with sulfonylureas in each category except for 8.6% to 9%, and compared with thiazolidinediones in each category except for the lowest.
Compared with the other injectables, liraglutide was significantly better compared with exenatide in the highest baseline HbA1c category only and compared with insulin glargine in the lowest category only.
Importantly, Henry said, liraglutide got a greater proportion of patients to goal.
In the lowest baseline HbA1c level, 62% of patients taking liraglutide achieved an HbA1c of 6.5% or lower. That compares with 20% to 49% with the oral therapies, 45% with exenatide, and 39% with insulin glargine (P<0.05 for all comparisons with liraglutide).
In the highest baseline HbA1c level, the highest rate of getting patients to goal was with insulin glargine (12%), followed by liraglutide (10%) and the other oral and injectable therapies (0% to 5%).
Henry reported relationships with Amgen, Isis Pharmaceuticals, Takeda, Eli Lilly, Merck, Orexigen, sanofi-aventis, GlaxoSmithKline, F. Hoffman-La Roche/Genentech, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Boehringer Ingelheim, Novo Nordisk, and Amylin.
Two of Henry's co-authors are employed by Novo Nordisk, which makes liraglutide.
