Fire causes $10,000 in damage to Greeley restaurant
April 11, 2014
A fire damaged a south Greeley restaurant on Thursday afternoon.
The Tasty Kitchen restaurant, 811 23rd St., filled with smoke about 2:45 p.m. There were customers in the restaurant at the time. However, everyone was able to leave the building, and there were no injuries, Greeley Fire Department Lt. Kevin Maloney said.
Greeley Fire Department firefighters were called to the scene, and when they arrived they found that the restaurant's internal fire suppression system had activated and extinguished the fire inside the building. However, the fire extended up a roof vent over a deep-fat friar. Crews had the fire under control in less than 10 minutes after arriving on scene, and had it extinguished quickly, Maloney said.
Investigators determined the fire was caused accidentally and likely began as a flash fire caused by grease. The damage was estimated at $10,000. Maloney said the restaurant was closed after the fire and would remain so until authorities cleared it to open again.
About 18 firefighters and six fire trucks responded to the fire.

I think the combination of the recent time change (it's staying light later—yeah!) and warm spring weather (it was in the mid-seventies here in the Denver metro area) resulted in a smaller-than-usual group of gamers showing up at Total Escape Games for Session 6 of March of the Phantom Brigade. One of the players who made it for the session was the eleven-year-old boy who plays Jarren, and he was accompanied by his grandma. Grandma asked if she could sit at the table and watch (which was totally cool, of course), so she sat there knitting throughout our game (which was kind of funny, of course).
* * * * *
After their battle with the missing loggers, Brother Splintershield led our heroes deeper into the forest to search for the source of the mysterious plague and perform a cleansing ritual to eliminate it. Falling in alongside the determined cleric were Atreyu (human thief), Givner (human scout), Iados (tiefling wizard), Jarren (human wizard), and Sebastian (human wizard).
To prepare for the session, I drew a map of the forest to give to the party. I marked the six locations which they needed to investigate in order to discover the source of the plague.
Starting off in an unaffected section of the Harken Forest, the heroes confirmed that the area held nothing out of the ordinary. Then the party came upon an area where many trees had been knocked down and splintered. In the center of the destruction was a crater where they found several crystal formations similar to those left by the mysterious sickness. Iados recognized that something large and heavy had been dragged away from the crater. Sebastian told the party that some planar warping hovered around the edge of the crater. He said that such phenomena suggested that something was forcefully pushed into the world from another plane, creating the crater when it happened.
Continuing to explore the woods, the group came across a cave in a hillside. As they approached the cave, a horrible stench of decay assaulted them. Inside the cave, they discovered a pair of black bears that had clearly been dead for several days. Both animals bore the now-familiar crystal-filled lesions on their bodies. Iados noticed that the bears died from wounds inflicted by each other—as though they were driven to tear into each other with their claws.
The heroes next followed an ice-covered stream to a large pool of water. Such a pond should have been frozen solid, but that one was only partially frozen. Faint wisps of steam rose from the water's surface and large gaps in the ice showed black water underneath. The edges of the breaks festered with red crystals. Searching nearby, Givner found the remains of the loggers' camp. The party also discovered signs of animal passage in the area. They concluded that the infected loggers and diseased animals must have contracted the plague after drinking the water from the pond.
Leaving the pond and exploring upstream, our heroes entered a stretch of forest where the trees showed signs of infection. The trees had developed the same crystal lesions, each of which was filled with gold flecks. The worst of them appeared as though their growth had been shaped in strange, chaotic ways. Jarren could discern no obvious pattern concerning which trees were infected and which remained untouched. He suggested the lack of uniformity was evidence the plague wasn't airborne, but instead was spread by contact between infected hosts.
Following the frozen stream through the ravaged trees, the adventurers eventually discovered the source of the plague. The corpse of a large, monstrous creature lay rotting alongside the stream. The body was nearly overgrown with red crystals. The creature was generating an intense, supernatural heat— it had melted the surface of the stream and was causing infected water to flow beneath the ice downstream to the pond.
Brother Splintershield approached the corpse and said, "It's some manner of demon, but I've never seen its like. This sickness must be some kind of Abyssal plague-- a foul malignancy brought here from beyond our plane. I think I can cleanse it with a ritual."
The Death of Aldus Splintershield
Splintershield and the rest of the heroes were about to discover that the outbreak of the plague was part of a trap set by the scorned ghost, Salazar Vladistone. The spirit wanted to kill Splintershield to break the ritual that barred him from Inverness and his wife's grave. Vladistone had enlisted the spectral soldiers from the Phantom Brigade to help him kill Splintershield. After coming across the corpse of the plague demon, Vladistone decided to use it to lay a trap for the dwarf cleric.
Just as Splintershield completed the cleansing ritual, a pulse of vile energy staggered the party. When our heroes recovered, they saw a ghostly spear jutting up from the ground, piercing Brother Splintershield's chest. Slowly, a phantom soldier rose from the snow-covered soil. Gripping its weapon purposefully as it ascended, the ghost forced the spear through the stricken cleric with a sickening noise.
As several more spectral soldiers rose from the ground nearby, Jarren groaned and said, "Malgram is going to kill us."
The heroes moved quickly to save Brother Splintershield, but the Phantom Brigade Armigers and Squires had already surrounded the cleric. The spectral soldiers ignored the others and concentrated on their primary mission: the death of Splintershield. After striking Splintershield down, one of the armigers said, "Vladistone has his vengeance. The cleric is slain and his shield has fallen. Let us finish these fools and join the others at the Ghost Tower."
Caught up in a fight for their lives, it was several rounds before any of the heroes could get close enough to Splintershield to ascertain the cleric's condition. When Jarren confirmed through a heal check that the cleric had truly been slain by the Phantom Brigade soldiers, the adventurers saw a flash in the sky coming from the direction of Inverness. They knew that the flash indicated the protective ward over the town had collapsed. At the same instant, the remaining spectral soldiers began to fade away and dissolve into a fine mist that disappeared back into the ground.
Beating a hasty retreat back to the village, the heroes made their way through the forest with no difficulty. At the end of the hour or so it took them to arrive within sight of Inverness, however, they realized they were too late. In the distance, the night sky glowed with flames as the village of Inverness burned.

Linux is amazing, unless it won't install. Then it just hurts. Fortunately, a number of laptop makers build machines specifically for Linux. A handful of others, such as Hewlett-Packard, design their products with Linux in mind. But how many of these offer good performance?
This article covers three manufacturers who make Linux-equipped laptops and a few of their wares.
Three Laptop CompaniesUnfortunately, purpose-built Linux laptops cost slightly more on average than those with Windows. Even low-end laptops, oftentimes with Intel Celeron processors, come with a premium, provided they include a Linux distribution. I'm not sure why this is, as Linux lacks licensing fees. It could be that Linux laptops target a niche market, willing to pay more, and the companies operate on smaller production runs.
Three companies offer high-end, purpose-built Linux-flavored laptops: System76, ZaReason and Dell. Other companies offer repackaged systems from Dell, HP, ASUS and Lenovo that include Linux distributions optimized for that particular laptop. Ubuntu keeps a list of Linux certified machines, but I've found that these are generally greatly inflated. You can, for the most part, purchase the laptops separately and install Ubuntu on your own.
System76System76 builds a variety of configurable, Ubuntu-equipped devices. It also offers excellent, high-end laptops with beautifully designed chassis (we've reviewed their Gazelle laptop). They also make Ultrabook-form factor-like models, although their cases are built from brushed, faux-aluminum, instead of metal. Their designs include the latest Haswell CPUs, in five basic models. The five models range in price from $749 to 1,549. Unlike many Windows laptops, System76 offers matte screens as an option, instead of forcing the ubiquitous glossy models on customers.
- Starting price: $1,549.99
- CPU: Either Core i5-4500U or Core i7-4500U (both are dual core Haswell CPUs)
- GPU: GTX 765M or GTX 780M
- RAM: 8GB to 32GB
- Hard drive: 500GB HDD to 1TB SSD
- Linux version: Ubuntu 13.10
- Screen size: 13.3″ 1920×1080 IPS, 165 PPI touchscreen
ZaReasonZaReason offers customizeable desktops and laptops outfitted with your favorite Linux distribution. Its older series of Ivy Bridge (2012) laptops (and an Ultrabook-like model) includes the Alto 4335 ( starting at $699) and the UltraLap 430 ($899). ZaReason's most expensive model, the Verix 530, costs $999. Its newest model, the Strata 7440, starts at $749. Unfortunately, most of its builds are currently out of stock (although that will change soon). Their newest model offers really good specifications at an excellent price-point.
Strata 7440
- Starting price: $749.99
- CPU: Large range of CPUs, ranging from Haswell Core i5-4200M (dual) to i7-4900MQ (quad)
- RAM: 4 to 16GB
- Hard drive: 500GB HDD to 800GB SSD
- Linux version: Any version of Linux
- Screen size: 13.3″ 1920×1080 IPS, 165 PPI
- Battery life: around 4 hours
Dell XPS 13, Developer Edition (AKA "Sputnik 3″)The Dell XPS 13, Developer Edition laptop uses a combination of aluminum, magnesium and carbon fiber in its clamshell design. The combination of high durability, low-weight materials allows the XPS to weigh in at a very low 3.03 pounds. It also cold-boots in 12-seconds. It includes Ubuntu Linux 12.04, LTS (long-term support). But all these features don't come cheap: The lower end XPS costs $1,249.99. The Core i7 version costs $1,549.99.
- Starting price: $1,249.99
- CPU: Either Core i5-4500U or Core i7-4500U (both are dual core Haswell CPUs)
- Hard drive: 128GB or 256GB mSATA SSD
- Linux version: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Screen size: 13.3″ 1920×1080 IPS, 165 PPI
- Battery life: Reported to be between 3 and 5 1/2 hours
Other CompaniesSeveral companies sell laptops from ASUS, HP, Dell and Lenovo (and some from Acer), which come pre-installed with various Linux flavors.
- EmperorLinux: EmperorLinux offers a very wide selection of Linux-equipped products including laptops, desktops and server gear. Additionally, EmperorLinux includes its own special variant on the Linux kernel, which includes additional features of use to the average laptop user, such as throttling.
- Best Buy: Best Buy, believe it or not, sells a variety of Linux-equipped laptops. These are mostly older, Celeron 847-equipped builds, with the same or similar specs to Chromebooks.
- The Linux Laptop: The Linux Laptop sells three models of Dell Inspiron with Linux pre-installed.
- ThinkPenguin: Specializes in selling Thinkpads with Linux installed.
- LinuxCertified: Sells a range of products, and at least one custom laptop, designed for Linux.
ConclusionFor Linux users, there's a large number of laptops that come with your favorite operating system pre-installed. This means no more hunting for drivers or tweaking your settings. However, for those of you who feel like installing Linux on your own, you can always buy a Ubuntu-certified laptop. Ubuntu keeps a list of all equipment, including laptops, that received a "Ubuntu Certified" credential, meaning they work with Linux out-the-box.

Daughters of mine,
Womanhood is a vast adventure and there are countless opinions and ideas about what it means to be a woman. I want to teach you some of the lessons I've learned and things I've come to understand. I've learned these lessons through watching women I admire and strive to emulate, through painful mistakes, misplaced hopes & dreams, and the school of life. Most of all I've learned them as a result of my relationship with Christ.
That is why we're beginning our "40 Lessons in Womanhood" with this: SEEK GOD FIRST. It's the most important thing you will do in your entire life. Everything else pales in comparison to the joy and fulfillment of knowing God.
When your deepest and primary desire is to know and see Jesus, the path for your life will fall into place. Knowing God doesn't mean your circumstances will be easy, but a relationship with Him will result in a life that is meaningful, and brings about the beautiful and purposeful destiny that God designed for you.
As a daughter of God, you must decide that the one thing you will place ahead of anything else in your life is to seek after God and live in His presence. Of course we know that God is everywhere. And He promises that He is always with us. But to know His beauty and His matchless love in a tangible way, we must continually set our mind, heart and affections on God.
So, how does a girl go about seeking after God? Here are three ways to begin: (these three steps are modifications from a John Piper article referenced below.)
1. First, you must make a conscious choice to seek Him, and set your mind on Him – as you read your Bible, spend time with other people who reflect His character, and as you enjoy the beauty of His creation.
2. Next, you must avoid things that dull your sensitivity to hearing, seeing, understanding and knowing God. Start your morning with prayer, and during that time ask God to open your eyes and reveal himself to you. Continue with that heart as you go about your day. If there are things that cause you to feel distant from God, RUN from them!
3. Pride is a massive roadblock in our lives, and causes us to turn away from God instead of seeking after Him. When you feel yourself reaching a position of not needing or wanting God to be involved in any area of your life you can be sure you are not walking in humility. Ask God to change your heart.
In closing, here's a quote that I love very much. Please carry this with you for the rest of your life:
The great promise to those who seek the Lord is that he will be found. "If you seek him, he will be found by you" (1 Chronicles 28:9). And when he is found, there is great reward. "Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). God himself is our greatest reward. And when we have him, we have everything. Therefore, "Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!" ~ John Piper
As your mother, my deepest longing is that you will seek after and know Jesus. There is no greater treasure to me, or measure of successful womanhood, than seeing you walk in the knowledge and fullness of His immeasurable love for you.
Verses to meditate on:
Chronicles 22:19a"Now set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God" 1 Chronicles 22:19a
"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." Colossians 3:1-2

My main source of reference for this post is this incredible, beautifully written article: John Piper's "What Does It Mean to Seek the Lord". Please take time to read it, I know it will encourage you!

Hi. My name is Kandace, and I love warm weather. Sad news, the weather has been no bueno for the past couple days, and it's supposed to snow for the next two. So, to cheer myself up, I'm going to blog about happy summer memories today!
Since my birthday is in July, we are almost always doing something exciting and away from home.
On my birthday, I've been in: Texas, Salina, Monticello, Brekenridge, California, Disney World, Youth Conference (I had a dance at Youth Conference for my 16th birthday), Family Reunion (s), and Lake Powell. Epic huh? It's because my birthday is awesome. It doubles as a prime time to have a vacation.
One thing I love about warm weather time of year is the chance to just relax outside. Although I usually spend the summer working, it's so chill! I get to just go to work, and when I leave, I'm done. I get to do as I please and relax, or hang with my friends, or eat ice cream, or watch a movie, or go on a bike ride, or blog! tehe. I have many great memories of simply eating popsicles outside in the Spring and Summer. I love popsicles, and I love just sitting on my front porch by myself thinking and eating a cool popsicle.
Also, warm weather means that it's tourist season at home. I love this because my little, po-dunk small town turns into a busy, happening place filled with people from all over the world. It's just so cute and fun! I live in the coolest place in the world!
The best part about summer is, I get to be home! I get to have home cooked meals and my own room that's been mine for years, not just months! It's so awesome! And I get to be with my family all the time. They rock my world.
So the next 2.5 weeks better hurry, because I have Spring Fever hard core!

All I had to lose .. was my life !! '-)
- ZenSu
That is all it is !!
My whole life I was blessed with good health .. strong vitality and ability to maintain health through my mind and inner transfer of energy. I could quietly heal other people using Pranic long-distance energy healing techniques. If I got a bad flu or a bad stomach bug .. my main healing force was mind / energy as well as herbs and spices.
Then .. one day .. all that changed!
The sudden and total collapse of my health seemed out-of-the-blue... But! Later I understood that the total and dramatic collapse in my bodies health was not really out-of-the-blue! It had been growing in my gut over many years .. and then months .. and then weeks.
I later discovered the source of my health problems was Candida Albicans! That comes later! Let me first describe to you the bizarre symptoms...
The Lowest Point
Be aware that this is a personal description of my own experience(s) .. and that experiences cannot be translated into a general ??? whatever ... The lowest point came totally out of nowhere - or so it appeared to me at the time. I woke up in the early hours of the morning .. heart racing!
I never experienced anything like this in my entire life...
... And .. I thought I was having a heart attack!
My heart was beating right-left / right-left like a small bird in panic .. desperate to leave the area of confinement. I thought I was having a heart attack. I can laugh now .. in hindsight .. but in that moment I called emergency services!
Emergency services came and did some kind of "test" .. nothing was wrong with my heart!
Later down the road no doctor or specialist could explain this bizarre experience .. other than "stress" .. "food allergies" [you cannot heal allergies - you will have to live with this for the rest of your life !!! ] ... Duh!
All I had .. at the end of the day .. was my beloved body [intelligence] and my mind.
"Learn to live with it..." was (for me) NEVER an option...
I was not afraid to die... I am not afraid of death... Therefore, I began to search for SOLUTIONS. Why not! I had nothing to lose! So, what were my symptoms? I was always vegeterian (25 years) .. but all I could eat without having severe food allergy reactions was: white basmati rice and kefir (probiotics).
Any kind of fruit or vegetable would - within hours - create a sever gut / colon or severe skin allergy reaction. But worse than that were the collective body symptoms! I gained weight .. every gland in my body hurt .. I knew the location of every gland due to the associated pain.
My neck was swollen .. my glands were swollen .. there was pressure in and behind my eyes .. my eyesight was deteriorating [get the picture .. this was effecting my whole body] .. brain fog .. nervousness .. night-sweats .. shivering .. too much heat then loss of body heat [what the f#ck ??].
Heart rate too fast .. heart rate too slow ?? Joint pain .. extreme fatique .. I could hardly walk... symptoms changed and exchanged every day. One day good .. one day bad. Weight gain and then extreme weight loss. My arms seemed as thin as the bones inside my arms. I never lost faith in my body intelligence.
Be aware .. this is simply my own personal experience.
I learned to love .. trust and respect my body .. to show respect! To listen!
At the worst period my throat was swollen .. my energy was low .. my heart was racing .. my glands were painful .. my digestion was severely compromised .. I was rapidly gaining weight and rapidly losing weight .. I was having anxiety attacks .. chills and night sweats .. sudden fatigue .. digestive disorders and constipation .. irregular heartbeat .. gas and abdominal bloating .. ringing in the ears .. pain in the joints .. swelling in joints of the hands .. could it get much worse ?? ...
Since I was a kid I taught myself healing techniques of food - herbs and Qi / Pranic energy healing .. but this was new body phenomenon of multiple symptoms... I did research and I found this comprehensive site: Candida Free .. listing all my unable to diagnose many bizarre symptoms... I really had nothing left to lose .. other than my life !!
I had many years of knowledge researching problems with the gut / intestines and testing out different theories: Living Foods .. Dr. Norman Walker [Death Lies In The Colon] .. Dr. Ann Wigmore .. Hulda Clark .. Mantak Chia .. Maria Treben... Those are the basics!
Healthy Probiotic Gut Bacteria
Once I encountered information on Candida Albicans overgrowth inside the colon and related fungal [toxic / acidic] growth in the colon with the resulting dangers of acidic bacterial infection and loss of friendly probiotic colon bacteria .. I began testing out my alternatives.
My test was to order Threelac probiotics .. although later I began to cultivate my own Kefir grains .. that I find many times more effective in growing and supporting healthy colon friendly probiotic bacteria [I eat the self-grown / self cultivated Kefir grains as well as sometimes drink the Kefir milk].
Before I discovered probiotic Kefir grains I used Threelac for 3 months .. 6 months .. 1 year .. 1 and a half years .. 2 years. In the first three months of my experiment many of my "symptoms" decreased or completely disappeared. Between 6 months to 1 year all skin and digestion / food allergies disappeared.
Pressure in the eyes .. swollen eyes reduced within 6-12 months using probiotics.
Food allergies were .. in my personal experience 100% reduced within 1 year of probiotic activation of the gut and colon. I also noticed that the glands returned to normal. I no longer had these extreme glandular swellings / pains where I was aware of every gland in my body = under the arms .. breasts .. joints .. hips .. kidneys .. throat.
Nervous Anxiety !!
There was never a point in my life where I could not deal with nervous anxiety! I was from childhood a calm child .. and this Buddha like calm continued throughout my life until my internal nerves went berserk and chaotic - with no apparent logic to the anxiety meltdown(s).
At the worst point I could not sleep peacefully .. and you have to understand that sleep has always been one of my relaxed primary functions. I would waken with painful glands .. rapid beating heart .. muscle cramps and general anxiety.
Why would my body no longer respond to my calm mind intelligence meditation?
I tell you why .. from my own experience .. because probiotic bacteria are an absolute ESSENTIAL interface between bodies physical existence - energy - chi - mind and physical biological health. The ancient Qi Masters of never had this problem .. because they lived in times of physical purity.
Healthy probiotic bacteria are in the stomach .. in the gut / colon .. are in the blood .. skin .. bones .. nerves .. organs .. glands .. heart .. tissues .. muscles .. tendons .. bones .. bone marrow .. brain tissues .. and fluids of the entire body.
I tested the probiotics and I also drank ESSIAC tea - to cleanse out the glandular system.
The results were: No more food / skin allergies .. no more dramatic weight gain / weight loss .. no more swelling / glandular pain .. no more night sweats .. no more rapid beating heart .. no more fatigue .. sleep loss .. breast .. joint and hip pain. No more anxiety and no more bizarre mood swings!
This is simply my own personal experience !!
My own personal / experience / relationship with my body...
I think: I am not afraid! I think: I am prepared to give everything for my body! We live and die together. We were born into physical life together and we come to the end of physical life together. There also has to be some form of compassion towards the fragile physical body from the incarnate spirit.
So, I feel the love and I cultivate the love...
I am grateful to the body-mind intelligence for guidance .. out of which health was created. My heart .. my glandular system .. my colon .. gut .. nerves and even my bones were melting under this mysterious internal acidic-toxic reaction.
In my case this was Candida fungus overgrowth and leaky gut .. where the highly acidic fungi .. yeast .. mold and Candida created toxins that took out the natural function of my glands .. blood .. organs .. colon!
After 6 months to a year of gently adding probiotic bacteria into my colon the internal pressure to my eyes decreased .. my glands were no longer painful and swollen .. my fatigue was gone .. irregular heartbeats returned to normal .. muscle and tendon pains / aches disappeared.
Everything the doctors told me I had to LEARN TO LIVE WITH were GONE !!
And .. to my BODY...
Thank you so much! I thank you from my HEART! Thank you for protecting me!

As ubuntu is designed to be universal, it still faces both legal and technical issues to include all possible drivers. This requires the holders of proprietary drivers to consent the public use such as in a Ubuntu release.

In one of MindWeapon's posts yesterday, farm internships came up. This is a great thing. Physical labor type jobs will always be necessary.
Here is a link for a site specializing in farm internships. I spent an hour flicking through it.
Let's get something out of the way. Mexicans – ohhh scary, competition! I have watched them work, as we have many in the area. In the heat of summer, they work from about 6am to 1pm. When the temperature goes over 105, they stop working outside. Usually they work a 6 day a week schedule with Sunday off. They are not faster, more intelligent or better than white workers. Subjectively I would say they are like dumb brutes, or simpletons.
All the farm internships I saw were similar. The growing season runs from about April to October. The boss pays room and food, while you may get a…

Abstract: :
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of astigmatic keratotomy (AK) on cylinder and refractive error in patients with LASIK-induced mixed astigmatism. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent AK for mixed astigmatism after LASIK by one surgeon (R.P.) at the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary. Patients were excluded if they had AK for mixed astigmatism not related to previous LASIK, or if the LASIK was performed elsewhere and no data was available. Vector analysis was used to calculate the surgically induced refractive change (SIRC). Results: Eight eyes of 7 patients met the criteria and were included in the study (4 female and 3 male). The average age of the patients was 51.5 years. AK was performed using a standardized technique. The surgical incisions were determined using the Lindstrom surgical nomogram for astigmatism with a 7mm optical zone. The interval between LASIK and AK ranged from 4.2 to 14.2 months (average: 10.1 months). In all the patients, refractive stability was documented prior to proceeding to AK. The average follow-up after AK was 3.4 months (range 0.3 to 8.7 months). The mean manifest spherical equivalent (SE) prior to AK was -0.11±0.20D. The mean manifest SE post-AK was -0.36±0.30D (average change in SE was -0.20±0.21D). The mean prepoperative and postoperative refractive cylinder was -1.53±0.38D and -0.59±0.35D respectively. The average % cylinder correction from the AK, as calculated using vector analysis, was 84.8%±31.2%. The average axis error was 8.87±7.45. No complications were seen in any of the patients. One patient lost one line of best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA). Postoperative BSCVA≥20/20 was achieved in 6 eyes (75%) and BSCVA≥20/25 in 7 eyes (87.5%). Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA)≥20/20 was achieved in 3 eyes (37.5%) and UCVA≥20/25 in 5 (62.5%). Conclusion: AK is a safe and effective procedure for treating mixed astigmatism after LASIK. Larger studies are needed to compare AK and keratoablative procedures in the management of these patients.

3am Saturday morning…
Hannah: Pulls herself up to stand in her cot. "Lalalala. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm. Mamamamamam. Guh. Guh. Guh. Ha, ha. Hahahaha. Dadadadadada. Lur. Lur.
Then….silence for a moment….
At this juncture, Hannah expels an excessive amount of gas from her *coughs* derriere (sorry, too graphic?) and then laughs (I didn't teach her that – honest!)
Then…..Lalalalalala. Muh, muh, muh,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Lur. Lur. Lur. Wah. Wah. Ah, haaaaaaaa. Hahahahahahah. Yarhhhh. Gur. Gurgurgur. Weeee. He he he he"
And so it went on…and on…and on….
….and on.
Me: Rolls over in bed. "Did you hear that? She said "Dadadada. That's new."
Hannah's daddy: "Yep, I heard it"
Me: Gets out of bed and goes to speak to Hannah. "Hannah, it's bed time"
Hannah: "hahahahahaha". *Lies back down in cot* Hahahahah. Mmmmm. Ahaaaaaaa. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Muh. Muh. Muh. Mmmmm".
Then…blissful, middle of the night silence ensues.
4.30am, the same Saturday morning!!!!!!!!!
Hannah: "hahahahahahah. Hah. Guh. Guh. Guh. Mmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Lur. Lur. Hahahahaha.
And so it went on….and on…and on…
And on…again.
Hannah's Daddy gets up, rather blurry eyed, and goes to make a (much needed!) cup of espresso. He's not daft. He knows resistance (i.e. staying in bed) is futile!
Me: "Hannah. It's bed time". Annie then stumbles back into bed and tries to ignore the singing. To no avail.
*another BIG sigh*
You see, once the singing starts, there's no stopping it.
So I just lie in bed for a bit longer, being Hannah's captive audience.
We seem to be getting more and more of this 'up before the dawn chorus' malarkey and I'm not entirely sure why. It's not even light outside!
Ah well.
Let's hope it's just a blip though, because I really need my sleep, otherwise, I can hardly string a sentence together during the day.
Nothing new there then, huh?
But I'm not complaining. Not at all. Because Hannah seems to be making many more 'vocalisations' recently. I'm not really sure why – she could be stimming (self-stimulatory behaviour), it could just be REALLY good fun in the middle of the night, she could be wanting to experiment with more sounds now, or whatever, but only Hannah can tell us the reasons why. The tone changes – up and down, down and up – it's very unpredictable and she's far more vocal when she's in bed. It's as if she finds it easier to make all those lovely ranges when she doesn't have any distractions, like light or other sounds or toys…or maybe even people.
Who knows?
I certainly don't.
And, as much as it could be rather annoying to many people being woken at silly o'clock, for me, It's rather…well…lovely (although I would, very much indeed – please, Hannah! – relish a few hours longer in bed…just me and my duvet…one weekend…at some point in the future).
I don't hear any definite words forming when Hannah's singing. Sadly! But I hear sounds that could have the potential to form words. And one day, she may even say something….and that would be just utterly, wonderfully heavenly…and undoubtedly one of the happiest days of my life.
I'll always live in hope.
(n.b. for more about this, please look at my blog post 'Expletive on a cake')
But when she's singing, she's happy.
And if she's happy, then I'm happy.
Job done!
Although we seem to hear less of this range of sounds during the day, Hannah still makes her presence known with her sing song noises. And as much as I like it, it's apparent that some people don't when we're out and about.
I'll give you just one example (of many):
We were on our way back from a holiday in Cornwall last year (just in case you didn't know, WE LOVE CORNWALL!!!!!)….
Stopping off at Gloucester services (LOVE that place too), we'd timed it so that we could eat our evening meal there with Hannah before we landed home. The weather was so lovely (despite it being September…in the UK) that we decided to eat outside. There were several other people out there but plenty of places to sit, so we chose to sit out of the way so that we didn't block anyone in with Hannah's clumpy old pram (we have a posh new one now. One she's comfy in – yay!). We gave Hannah her food, then began to eat our own meals.
Other people came to sit outside, including (I assume) a family; consisting of mum, dad and almost adult daughter.
Hannah continued to sing away relatively quietly whilst we ate and intermittently signed 'more' when she wanted to taste something we were eating – despite having finished her own mahoosive meal.
Honestly, I don't know where she puts it all…she's such a skinny malinky!
Anyway, I digress. I'm good at that! Sorry…
As far as I could tell, no-one really seemed to 'bat an eye' (i.e. bother) about Hannah's singing.
However, I DID notice and hear aforementioned mum and daughter sniggering, whilst looking over at us, after 'dad' had made a 'comment'. I suspect (by the vibe I was getting) that it wasn't particularly complementary and it was clearly directed at us – the giveaway being that he cocked his head in our direction.
(n.b. for those wishing to have an opinion on whether I have paranoia, please don't waste your thoughts. I'm SO not paranoid. I'm just experienced in 'reading' people…I've had plenty of practice!)
Whilst dad occupied himself by leaning over his plate, stuffing his face and making attempts to impress his family with his droll quips, I looked over and held mums gaze – enough to make her feel uncomfortable and wipe the smile off her face. I then smiled (sweetly, but with an underlying hint of venom in my eyes – my delightfully heinous friend, Ian, would have been SO impressed with the look, he'd have even applauded!) and then I got on with enjoying my food.
Neither I nor my family need to put up with stuff like that. We have enough to deal with.
It would have been really easy to go over and say something…although it wouldn't have been as easy trying to restrain Hannah's daddy from punching this guy in the throat!
But I didn't….we didn't.
They weren't worth it, plus we don't condone violence of any sort at Broccoli HQ.
I'll just leave Karma to do its delightful stuff.
I like Karma VERY much!
But, whilst writing this, I do wonder a little how either of those adults would feel or react if someone said something unkind about their daughter…and I wonder whether their aspirations for her are to become an individual who is accepting of ALL people, despite their differences.
I think, perhaps, not. They're probably OK in their own little world, so that's all that matters.
What's blatantly obvious though is that they lacked the intelligence to leave their behaviours until either we or they had left and were out of earshot.
…and evidently, they lack empathy.
…or actually, they may just be plain ignorant and get their kicks from sniggering at little girls with additional needs.
Oh, I can't tell you how much I LOATHE sniggerers!
Blimey, I'd better stop there. I'm at risk of having a bit of a rant!
Sorry about that.
Anyway, I've NEVER apologised for Hannah making noises or singing or any other of her little idiosyncrasies (apart from when she bites someone – whoops!) and I don't ever intend to do either. She has as much right as anyone else to make a sound. She may not be able to talk, but I'd never, EVER want to quash her attempts at expressing herself.
So if Hannah's 'singing' means offending some bloke having his tea, or anyone else for that matter, then so be it. If they have a problem, they can come and tell me about it….and then I'll deal with them.
I may even educate them a little in the process!
Well, I suppose it's worth a try.
And by doing so, if the grown-ups are given a little bit of enlightenment, then maybe, hopefully, their kids won't develop the same unpalatable characteristics as their parents.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm fine with people glancing over if they hear something out of the ordinary – that really doesn't faze me and it seems like a totally natural thing to do. What I'm SO not OK with (and probably never will be) are starers or unforgivable comments. Nuh huh. NOT. AT. ALL. I don't forgive.
So, let's wrap this up shall we?, before I get on my high horse again.
To conclude: I hope that my little Songbird will continue to remain oblivious to the haters. She'll continue to sing as much and as often as she wants and hopefully, one day, that song may even just turn into a word….or two…or even a whole vocabulary!
Who knows?
And I'll continue to live in hope, deal with said haters, forego my beloved sleep (hopefully not too much though!) and put my faith in Karma!
So, that's almost all for this post my lovelies.
But let me finish with a beautiful quote from Ella Fitzgerald…
"The only thing better than singing is more singing"
(although, not at 3am, please Hannah!)
Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time.
Annie xoxo
This post is dedicated to all the little Songbirds out there…keep on singing my darlings…don't ever allow anyone to stop you from expressing yourself ❤
…and to Hannah's wonderful Teacher and TA's this year…for their commitment and much, much more.

MILAN -- An investigational trastuzumab combination agent showed promise in the treatment of advanced breast cancer when compared with trastuzumab (Herceptin) plus docetaxel (Taxotere), researchers reported here.
In the study, presented at the meeting of the European Society for Medical Oncology, the antibody-drug conjugate known as trastuzumab-DM1 not only produced a better response rate among patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, but also appeared to cut the rate of side effects in half.
About 37% of patients taking trastuzumab-DM1 experienced clinically-meaningful adverse side effects compared with 75% of those taking the taxane, Edith Perez, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., said in a press briefing.
After a median of approximately six months of follow-up, Perez and her colleagues found an overall response rate of 47.8% in patients given trastuzumab-DM1, compared with 41.4% in the trastuzumab plus docetaxel arm.
The researchers enrolled 137 women in the study, 67 of whom were treated with the experimental drug. All the women had performance status scores of 1 or 2. All participants had HER2-positive metastatic cancer, with no prior chemotherapy for their metastatic disease.
The median age of the women on trastuzumab-DM1 was 55. The taxane group had a median age of 52.
Trastuzumab-DM1 is the first antibody-drug conjugate. It binds together two existing cancer drugs with the aim of delivering both drugs specifically to cancer cells -- trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets cells that overproduce the protein HER2; and DM1, a chemotherapy agent that targets microtubules.
"We found that DM1 by itself was too toxic to be delivered systemically," Perez told MedPage Today. By tieing the drug to trastuzumab, the conjugate is delivered specifically to the tumor site, sparing systemic toxicities, she explained.
"This is the first ever presentation of an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate used as first-line therapy for patients with advanced breast cancer," Perez said. "We are encouraged by the results. The study demonstrated that T-DM1 has very good anti-tumor activity as well as much lower toxicity when evaluated side by side with the older 'standard'."
The combination has shown promising activity in preclinical studies. Other clinical trials have also shown it to be effective in patients whose advanced cancer has not responded to other treatments.
The trial is ongoing and the positive outcomes are generating enthusiasm for a larger phase III trial now underway. "This trial is named MARIANNE, and it evaluates taxane plus trastuzumab against T-DM1 as administered in this study, with a third option being T-DM1 plus pertuzumab, another novel anti-HER2 agent," Perez said.
She said that treatment with T-DM1 was especially helpful in preventing the common chemotherapy-related hair loss. Alopecia was seen in 1.5% of T-DM1 patients, compared with 66.2% of the trastuzumab-docetaxel patients.
About 7.5% of patients taking the new drug experienced neutropenia compared with 57.4% of those on the trastuzumab-docetaxel regimen, Perez said.
The results are important for two reasons, commented Fabrice Andre, MD, from Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif, France, in a statement. "Firstly, they confirm that in coming years chemotherapy could be replaced by a less toxic compound. Indeed, in the present study, the rates of serious adverse events were much lower in patients given T-DM1 compared to the chemotherapy arm. These results suggest that, with the same efficacy, T-DM1 could dramatically reduce the toxicities related to chemotherapy."
The second important implication of this study is that it proves the concept that linking a monoclonal antibody to a cytotoxic drug leads to an anticancer effect. "This could have several implications beyond drugs that target HER2," Andre reported.
Perez wrote in her abstract that hard endpoints including overall survival in the Genentech-sponsored trial will be reported in 2011.
Perez reported no conflicts of interest.
Andre has disclosed financial relationships with Novartis and sanofi-aventis.
Other authors reported research/contract funding from Roche/Genentech covering costs associated with the conduct of this study. Several co-authors are also employees of Genentech.

The young hero Raj Tarun went great cannons in 2016, but seems to have slowed down this year. Two Raj Tarun films were released this year, but they did not have much impact at the box office and they did not meet expectations.
Raj Tarun, Anu Emmanuel starrer 'Kittu Unnadu Jagratha' received an average conversation initially but his upcoming film 'Andhagadu' turned out to be a flop. The banner of the animations of AK financed these two films. They produced another film with Raj Tarun and 90% of the film was made in silence. This film was supposed to be released even before 'Kittu Unnadu Jagratha' ... '' Andhagadu 'but it was blocked for unknown reasons.
The director of the debut Sanjana Reddy directed the film. They finalized the title 'Rajugadu' for the film. Amyra Dastur is the heroine of the film. The filmmakers plan to publish the film in October or November. We have to wait and see if this "Rajugadu" will give Raj Tarun a good commercial success or not.

Press release
Elizabeth Truss responds to NAO free school report
Education and Childcare Minister Elizabeth Truss's statement in response to the National Audit Office (NAO) report on establishing free schools.
Education Minister Elizabeth Truss said:
I am pleased the NAO has recognised the progress we have made in opening 174 schools and with much lower construction costs than previous programmes. Free schools are one of this government's success stories - an innovative response to what local communities want for their children.
Free schools are popular with parents and are delivering strong discipline and teaching excellence across the country. Three-quarters of the free schools inspected have been rated good or outstanding. The vast majority are opening in areas facing a shortage of school places, or in deprived communities.
We want to open many more high-quality free schools, so every child has the chance to go to an excellent local school.
Free schools are brand new state-funded schools and have greater freedoms than their local authority-run counterparts. They are run by teachers - not local councils or Westminster politicians - and have freedom over the length of the school day and term, the curriculum and how they spend their money.
There are 174 open free schools and another 116 are approved to open in 2014 and beyond. That will bring the total to 290. All are expected to maintain the highest possible standards.
8 in 10 open mainstream free schools are either in areas with a shortage of places or in areas of deprivation.
In total, all currently approved free schools would deliver more than 140,000 new school places when full.
Free schools have proven popular with parents. Those open at the start of the 2012 school year self-reported receiving an average of 3 applicants per place for September 2013.

Rocket Freshman Class Donates to City Rescue Mission During Class Lesson
Posted 12/21/2017 11:17AM
Mercy Moment...
In Mr. Sine's religion class, our Rocket freshmen have been learning about the three pillars of Advent; Prayer, Penance, and Alms Giving. Mr. Sine asked every freshman to donate a dollar to the City Rescue Mission to help provide a holiday meal. Mr. Sine's class collected $198.79 which will feed 113 people a holiday season meal. What a great example of living out our MSM Mercy Values!
Way to go Rocket freshmen!

Hello ladies! I was so excited to be asked to be a part of the Openquote Designs journey! Alicia is such an awesome planner girl boss, so when I was asked to do a plan with me session for her new blog, of course I said yes.
Let me introduce myself before we get started! My name is Melissa I'm 27 years old, and I'm living a quiet and 'normal' life with my lovey. But most of you might know me as CharmedPlanner on Instagram. I have loved planning ever since I was little, and I still remember the excitement of receiving that cute school planner we got each year.
So, let's get this plan with me going, shall we!
What I like to do first before even beginning to plan is to gather a list of things I know I will be doing for sure. That way when I sit down to jot everything down I'm almost sure I won't miss anything.
The fun part is to decide what planner to use! For me I'm currently obsessed with my rose gold Kate Spade agenda. It's a personal size planner with horizontal layout inserts with a Monday start. I don't really use themes, but I do like to stick with variety of colors that match, and that's when I decide what washi tape and stickers will be used.
Following that, I just lay down the washi tape and stickers where I need to insert either to-do lists or reminders. Once all that is set and done, the actual planning follows. I try to divide the horizontal space and place reminders on the left, and notes and to-do on the right. That way there is some kind of structure to my layout and it's easier for my eye to visually see what needs to be done. Once I'm all done with the planning portion, I just insert the pages back into my planner and add a few personal touches such as paperclips, tassels or charms. It all depends on your personal preference! Planning should be fun, creative, and most of all, stress free. Let your imagination flow! It's all in having fun and ultimately, doing what works for you!

I'm a simple minded man. When it comes to issues of religion & spirituality, i try to keep it basic. In art class, I wuz taught that if you wanna understand an artist, all u gotta do is analyze his or her art. God is tha supreme artist. I have been learnin' about Her by spendin' time observin' Her art. I rarely go to tha Temple, Mosque or Church. I prefer climbin' trees, swimmin' in lakes, watchin' birds, admiring tha radiant sun. I seldom read the Vedic Script, Bible or tha Koran. I prefer lookin' at tha patterns of flowers, leaves & grass; tha arrangement of tha heavenly stars. I don't trust priests, preachers, yogis or Imams. I don't trust man. I trust dirt & mad. She created much b4 She crafted us. We were last so we must be humble enough to learn from the dung beetle n tha ant. As you seat listenin' 2 tha word, mi Imma be somewhere in tha wild listenin' to bugs as they dance with blades of grass. God(ess) is Earth. Trust dirt. Be wary of man. Trust only Her.

AFTER all the furore, from Monday people in Herne Bay will have to travel to Whitstable for if they need outpatient services.
There has been fierce opposition to the plans to base a 'hub' outpatients clinic "hub" at Estuary View in Whitstable, with the running down of services at both Herne Bay's Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital and Faversham Cottage Hospital, but a decision that was ratified in July finally becomes reality next week.
Not only are campaigners concerned that thousands of patients will now have to travel further for their treatment but they fear for the future of small 'cottage' hospitals such as the Queen Victoria.
Speaking in the autumn, Gillian Fowler, chairman of the Herne Bay hospital's League of Friends, said: "It makes me nervous and in the depths of depression I can see us folding.
"I can't see what we are going to do to combat it. This government likes private companies running services and if the plan involves selling off the Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, too, that will help finance it.
"I am horrified, to be honest, but it's not a surprise. It all appears to be about money rather than patients."
However, it is claimed that that the Estuary View centre will offer patients a wider range of outpatient services, with a full range of diagnostics.
The site was one of six identified in the Outpatients Strategy, which would provide services in enhanced facilities, offering more flexible operating hours and introducing more one-stop services.
Once fully operational, the site will provide outpatient services to up to 20,000 patients on the north Kent coast.
Mary Tunbridge, divisional director of clinical support services, said: "We are delighted to be opening the excellent new outpatient facilities at Estuary View, which will provide patients with a wider range of outpatient services on one site.
"The services will also be supported by a full range of diagnostics including MRI scans. We will be offering patients appointments both earlier and later in the day and also on a Saturday morning."
NHS Canterbury and Coastal Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) endorsed the changes at a public meeting in July following a public consultation.
Simon Perks, CCG accountable officer, said: "The proposals match our own vision of delivering high-quality care as close to home as possible while making sure we are innovative in how we use our resources."
East Kent NHS Trust has also invested in improving bus links from the towns to the site.
The new outpatient clinics will include paediatrics, rheumatology, endocrinology (diabetes), gastroenterology, health care of older people, ophthalmology, general surgery, respiratory, vascular, trauma and orthopaedics, and gynaecology (which will move later rather than immediately).

Halloween Party
Our Halloween party seemed to be quite a fun event for all ages. It was fun to have old and new friends at the party all dressed up in fun costumes.
The rain ended right before the party so the kids were able to play outside in the haunted house and make mountain pies at the bonfire.
I did not do a very good job of taking pictures, so I have included a few of the ones I have. People have been very good about emailing me some of the pictures they took at the party.
Maxwell said it was the best day of his life, which made the weeks of preparation worth it.
He already started talking about next years party. I guess I should start planning now!

"What are your salary expectations?"
This is perhaps the most important (and most to-be-avoided!) question which is asked during an interview! But is it is definitely a question which we need to be prepared to tackle tactfully as a bit of misdirection or wrong body language can send the wrong signals to the interviewer and result in a loss for us (loss of a job or salary, either is important to be avoided nevertheless!).
So the question is, how should we deal with this tricky situation? First of all,we need to understand the situation and read the interviewer's expectations and attitude before answering this question. The rule is to always put in an amount which is higher than what you are getting already or higher than what you are actually expecting. This is considered to be a buffer amount, which if reduced due to negotiations will not result into a huge loss. The resulting amount should be such that results in a win-win situation for both the parties.
If you salary expectations are not asked by the end of the interview then you need to make it a point that you do the honors! Go ahead and ask it! There is nothing to fear to worry about as you're not about to lend your services for free. But the important thing to remember is that you need to frame the question well, in a way that will not be seen as rude or desperate by the prospective employer.
One important point to remember is that you definitely need to research well about the company and the average salary range for the profession or position before placing your demand. This will make the employer understand that your demands are based on well researched data and not personal opinion.
Another important point to remember is that when you are asked about your last drawn salary, then don't hesitate to mention the right figure. Be honest about your past employment records. This will definitely place you in the good books of your employer.

Furniture maker Greg Klassen builds intricately designed tables and other objects embedded with glass rivers and lakes. Inspired by his surroundings in the Pacific Northwest, Klassen works with edge pieces from discarded trees (often acquired from construction sites, or from dying trees that have begun to rot) which he aligns to mimic the jagged shores of various bodies of water. The pieces are completed with the addition of hand-cut glass pieces that appear to meander through the middle of each table.
You can see much more of work here, and several tables are available through his shop.

Jet Magazine Ends Print Production After Almost 63 Years
By Kailei Carr
Today Johnson Publishing announced that its institution, Jet Magazine, will no longer be printed and is going digital only after almost 63 years in production. Linda Johnson Rice, Chairwoman of JPC said in a press release that, "We are not saying goodbye to Jet, we are embracing the future as my father did in 1951 and taking it to the next level."
Though this has caused a lot of surprise to many, in my opinion it only makes sense. Jet was the magazine that kept Black folks "in the know" for decades before the Internet. As a weekly publication, that's how we kept up to date about what was going on in our community, the top music of the time (though, given their print schedule, that always seemed to be quite late, but we loved it anyway!), who was marrying who, and what we should be watching in TV. When you think about it, Jet had the opportunity and the brand equity and association to be the online destination to for Black current events online. But they didn't do that. They struggled; they even combined the website with Ebony at one point to be www.ebonyjet.com (that URL now points to Ebony.com). I think they never took advantage of that opportunity to really go in and capture the market for current events and online news for Black Americans. However, with a focus on being solely digital (which is more aligned with their positioning anyway) maybe now is the time.
I am rooting for Jet. I know mothers and grandmothers everywhere are going to be complaining that they won't have their new Jet magazines to put on display in their bathrooms and living rooms anymore. But I hope that JPC can now spark new life into the brand and become a destination online for current generations as they've done in print for generations before.

MISSOULA, Mont. - The National Park Service is recommending rebuilding the Sperry Chalet dormitory at its original site in Glacier National Park, with its original rock walls and a few upgrades.
The Missoulian reports the park service released its environmental assessment on the project Tuesday, calling for construction to take place over the next two summers if financing and the weather allow.
The century-old backcountry chalet was gutted by a wildfire last summer.
The park service says the proposed design would restore the chalet dormitory to reflect its "period of significance" from 1914 to 1949, but with some upgrades including seismic bracing and fire-resistant materials.
Officials want to retain the visitor experiences of sharing family-style meals at the dining hall and overnight lodging in the dormitory, while providing a remote backcountry wilderness experience.

Don't Get Stressed Out!
Contributed by Edward Frey on Oct 11, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: The promise of forgiveness and salvation in Christ Jesus tempers our lives with joy and hope.
The population of this country is 200 million people. 84 million are retired. That leaves 116 million to do the work. There are 75 million in school, which leaves 41 million to do the work. Of this total, there are 22 million employed by the federal government.
That leaves 19 million to do the work. 4 million are in the armed forces, which leaves 15 million to do the work. Take from that total the 14.8 million who work for state and city governments and that leaves 200,000 to do the work. There are 188,000 people in the hospital at any given time, leaving 12,000 to do the work. Currently, there are 11,998 people in jail. That leaves just two people to do the work - you and me. And you're just sitting there listening. No wonder I'm stressed!
Sometimes, we approach life in that way. We feel as if we're the only ones who count for something, and everything is up to us. And so we get stressed out. Stress takes its toll on us when we especially feel that we've lost control of our lives and have no sense of direction. Today, the Holy Spirit alleviates all of that tension. So, DON'T GET STRESSED OUT. 1) The Lord Takes Away Your Fears. 2) He Guards Your Life.
1) The Lord Takes Away Your Fears
Sometimes people get stressed out as they try to de-stress. Perhaps you've found yourself in that trap. The concerns of daily life have wound you tighter than a drum – you feel as if you're going to snap – and so you tell yourself, "unwind and settle down." In the process, you add more stress because you can't settle down, so you become even more stressed out over the fact that you're stressed out.
St. Paul offers a solution: "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." "Don't be anxious." That's Paul's solution. Don't get stressed out. It sounds as if the apostle is preaching to the proverbial choir. And as we've seen in our own lives, just wishing for stress or troubles to stop, doesn't mean they will stop.
We need to look closely at St. Paul's words in order to understand what he's telling us. We'll notice he tells us to rejoice. A related word would be joy. This is more than happiness. Joy is not some artificial emotion that comes and goes with the ups and downs of life. We can be joyful even when we're not happy. Christians can be joyful in the midst of troubles or suffering, pain and sadness. The reason is because our joy is based in the Lord. This is where St. Paul found his joy and it's where we base ours.
What's the joy that can only be found in the Lord? Well, it's the joy of knowing your sins are forgiven. What joy there is in knowing that your Savior is concerned about you now and forever! Even when things go badly in this life we can still rejoice because we have a Savior who loves us.
And the love of Jesus alleviates our fears. Let's face it we get stressed out because we're afraid. We're afraid that we might be losing control in over our lives. We get scared that things might go wrong. We fear the unknown. My oldest brother had to go in for surgery this past week. It wasn't major surgery, but we were concerned about him all the same. I called him the night before his operation and he was "tense" to say the least. He told me that he couldn't seem to sit still. He was fidgety. His stomach was doing summersaults. And all the while, he kept telling himself, "Calm down! Calm down! Everything will be alright." Whenever he did that it made him feel worse. He realized he couldn't calm down. Everything wasn't all right. My brother realized that he wasn't in control. And he admitted that he was a bit frightened.
No amount of positive thinking could squelch that fear. That's when I reminded him of his Savior. I reminded him that the Lord promised to be with him, and that no matter what, God loved him in Christ Jesus. Either way, God would work that surgery out for good. God would either lead him to recovery and give him patience to endure the pain of healing, or the Lord would simply call him home to heaven. In either case, my brother was a winner. God has proven it to be the case. It's neat how my brother responded to my simple encouragement. He said, "yeah, I just need to take it to God in prayer." And that's the truth. Paul tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

The Institute of Energy Security (IES) has predicted prices of petroleum products to remain stable for the second pricing window in March.
The IES largely attributes the prediction to the insignificant increase in the price of key indicators such gasoline on the international market.
"Fortunately for consumers in this window, the international indicators have been really favourable. We have had marginal changes in prices which definitely is not going to have a negative impact on prices".
According to the institute, the prices of the major indicators each went up by less than 2 percent.
"Gasoline prices on the international market went up by 1.03 percent and gasoil prices also went up by 0.7 percent which is less than 1 percent," Principal Research Analyst at the IES Richmond Rockson said.
He told Citi Business News consumers should expect fair stability in prices of petroleum products.
"This means that we are not going to be seeing prices go up. Our cedi even though depreciated was really marginal and insignificant so we expect prices to remain stable in the second pricing window so consumers don't have to worry about a price increase in petroleum products".

Well, it's official, second time I've done this test. After taking it the first time, even though the results sounded right, I still wanted to double check just to make sure. I had been wanting to do this test for quite a while, and then finally bit the bullet, as they say. It turns out, I am what they call an 'INFP'… what does this mean? I shall try to explain…
INTROVERT: Now, this one came as a shock to me. I always thought I was quite the extrovert. I mean, I love being with people! But, as I read more about it, I realized that the two don't negate each other. I really do love being with people, but I also enjoy being alone. There's nothing like spending some quality time with pet rat Joey, while blogging or watching one of my favorite shows. These times refuel my energy to go see people out in the world once again.
INTUITIVE: Focusing on the details of things is not my forte. This part of the test shows that I am more into the bigger picture, which is great, except that apparently I would rather deal with things that could possibly happen in the future than with things that are happening in reality. What could possibly go wrong?!
FEELING: This one deals with how I make decisions. It seems that I focus more on how people feel about situations, rather than on the logical parts of them. Again I say, what could possibly go wrong?!
PERCEIVING: Keeping options open to see what's out there? It appears I tend to delay making important decisions… oy vey!
Well, this seems like a disaster waiting to happen? Should I be worried?? It seems that according to this test I just took, I am quite the idealist, so I guess this would mean that I'm not worried!

Part of the purpose of BraverHQ is to help people (myself included) overcome the things that might make them feel fear or panic in their lives. Sometimes these things can be huge monsters, fears that keep us up at night. The rest of the time they can be mundane things that are work-related, or the thousand and one logistics minutiae that we HAVE to get through to make it through the day.
I've started a tally in my notebook at work. On the left side I write B for Braver. On the right I write F for Fear. I keep track of all the times I feel that i panic and anxiety that's been plaguing me the last few years–the fear that sets in when I'm given an assignment that I have no idea how to do. Depending on how bad the task is, I make two or three marks in the F category. I'm generous with my fears. There's no one else but you to say how scary your fear is.
Some days I start in a deficit. Before I've even made it into the office I'm already two marks down. I pull out my black felt pen and make a note of any time I feel panic or nerves set in–that crushing weight, or that churning in my stomach that makes it nearly impossible to sit still. I try to take a deep breath and calm my nerves, and it helps a little.
Identifying the fear and the moments that cause me panic helps me recognize the emotion and work through it. But the point of the tally isn't to take stock of all the fear. It's to take stock of the good things in a day.
There are moments of triumph, a job well done, or a minute in the middle of a task that I feel, "Yes, I can do this." These moments are what I call my Braver moments. I'm generous with my Braver moments as well. Who is to say how awesome it is to win at my task but me?
The rules of the game?
The whole point of the tally is to make sure that by the end of the day, the Braver column outweighs the Fear column. Failing that, then at least the Braver must equal the Fear. It's okay to be generous with either your Fear or your Braver moments. No one will know about it other than you. It's an acknowledgement of what you're feeling, and acknowledging your emotions is one step towards understanding.

The 47-year-old supermodel and the 'I'll be Missing You' hitmaker star as the royal beheaders in this year's 'Alice in Wonderland'-inspired Pirelli calendar and they had a great time working together on the shoot, even though it was full of "craziness".
Naomi said: "He coached me. He was behind me saying, 'Get into character, sis.' "Sean is so inspiring. I love him, he's like a brother to me.
"We actually share the same acting coach so he knows the method of how to get into character.
"We had a lot of fun on set, we were all singing at one point a table caught fire - it was craziness but we just kept going."
The iconic calendar - which was styled by new Vogue editor Edward Enninful and shot by Tim Walker - this year featured an all-black cast and Naomi thinks it is a symbol of the way the fashion industry is finally embracing diversity.
Styled by Jenke Ahmed Tailly. Picture: Tomas Herold.
She said: "The message of this calendar is so big and the timing could not be more perfect. I t is an amazing time. It is a new time. I hope it stays this way and isn't a trend.
"Out of my 31 years as a model, this has been the most phenomenal moment for diversity [in fashion]."
And the British beauty loves the fact every Pirelli calendar she's worked on has been so different, but gave off a timely message.
Nothing like laughter @pirelli @monsemaison @lejenke @diddy #timwalkerphotography 😂😘 #brotherlylove
A post shared by Naomi Campbell (@iamnaomicampbell) on
She told Grazia magazine: "I've done it for four decades - one in my teens, twenties, thirties and forties.
"They've all been so different, they've all had a different message.
"I think Pirelli is very good at knowing what's going on in the world and aligning themselves with that message."

No, but it seems these two think that statue is their mama. Obviously they get their legs from their father.
When the kids and I went to the park for the first time last week, there was only one bird at the base of the statue. He (or she) was completely still for so long, I originally thought it was two statues, but then it would move its head every so often and look up at the tall bird like it was thinking, "Can we go get some McDonald's now?"
Like any other child on the planet.
So, the kids played for a while, and I made some slow progression on my glove. I actually took a picture, but realized that those few rounds look so pathetic lying in my lap that I cannot even show it to you. No really. Once I am further along. Or have something else to show you. Or you completely forget about it.
However, I am happy to show you some more birds. The niblets were desperate to feed the ducks this time, and I must admit it is almost meditative for me. We like ducks. Many people do--and many tell you that they are filthy birds that foul (ahem) small waters when they stay past any regular migration patterns because they are fed by nurture, not nature, ways.
But geez, how can you not throw breadcrumbs to them? I have done it since I was a kid. It was one of my favourite things to do as a child. It was part of my Sunday ritual with my grandfather: get the Sunday paper at the news shop, go to the elementary school where he worked as a custodian, visit my aunt, then over to the local Stewart's for some day old bread and end at the pond where it seemed hundreds of ducks were. This ended after my teens, and then ended for real when the people who eventually owned the property had the city bar anyone from feeding the ducks cause they were destroying the natural ecosystem of the water.
But, even now, if I head down that street so many years later, there are still ducks there. You know someone's sneaking over before the morning paper is delivered to throw a few handfuls to them.
Not that I would ever do such a thing.

The district attorney's office will not be filing charges against Hesperia Unified School District Superintendent Mark McKinney.
McKinney was notified of the decision in a letter from Deputy District Attorney R. Lewis Cope on Aug. 24.
"In response to a complaint to the Public Integrity Unit of the San Bernardino District Attorney's Office, our office undertook an investigation of allegations that you interfered with the Hesperia Unified School District Police's investigation into an allegation of embezzlement by a HUSD employee," Cope's letter reads in part.
"I first officially knew (of the investigation) when I got the letter," McKinney said Thursday. "Although the allegation was stated, way back at Sultana High School, that they were going to make a formal claim, but this was the first verification that they actually did make a formal complaint."
The dispute between the district and its police officers first went public in March, when Police Chief Mike Graham and Officer (and city councilman) Bill Holland accused McKinney of preventing them from investigating Sultana High School student government accounting regularities as a criminal investigation back in 2009.
A May 31 private investigator's report commissioned by the district supported their assertion that McKinney had told Graham and other officers to stop pursuing a criminal investigation.
"Penal Code 830.32 specifies that officers employed as members of a school district police department are peace officers with authority to investigate all crimes within their jurisdiction. To interfere with the execution of those duties could be a crime," Cope's letter continues. "Our investigation into this matter included a review of detailed information submitted with the complaint and a legal analysis of the evidence. It is our office's conclusion that criminal charges are not supported by the existing evidence. Hence, we are closing our files on this matter."
"This is the verification of a truth that I already knew," McKinney said. "If there was any doubt, this should remove it."
On Aug. 2, Graham was placed on paid administrative leave, days before the start of the 2011-12 school year.
"I'm working daily with the police department and Sgt. (Cindy) McCarter is next in command. We talk daily," McKinney said. He said the months-long struggle between the department and superintendent "has been unfortunate and has taken us off our goal, and I'm trying to get us refocused."
