Frequently asked questions about
Diatomaceous Earth
Here is a list of FAQ you might want to look over 1st to see if the answer is here:
1. Is the same product used for killing bugs and helping people?
The same product is used for all applications: People, Pets, Livestock and for insect control inside and outside. The product is Food Grade Fresh Water Diatomaceous Earth, the purest DE on the planet. It is the ONLY product we sell, so you do not have to worry about getting the right product for the right application, it works for everything.
2. How much Diatomaceous Earth should a person take each day?
Many take 1 heaping tablespoon per day in liquid of their choice. We use juice, but many just put in a glass of water. I know some who take 2 or 3 tablespoons a day, but that is usually for a severe problem they are trying to correct. I also know some who just take a teaspoon per day to start out with and work up to a tablespoon.
3. How can something that kills bugs be safe for me and my pets?
Remember - Diatomaceous Earth kills insects by PHYSICAL action, not chemical. Hundreds of the microscopic DE get all over the insects body. As the insects move, the DE scratches the waxy coating off of them and they dehydrate and die. Because the DE particle is so small--it has no harm to people and pets. It is a simple mineral---silica.
4. I have heard DE is dangerous--especially breathing it in.
Food Grade DE often gets confused with filter grade DE. Filter grade DE starts out as food grade, but it is heated to about 1000 degrees and chemicals are added to crystallize it. This works great for filtering but is dangerous to people and animals. Breathing the crystallized product in over long periods of time causes a disease called silicoses. The world health org. has said that DE needs to be less than 2% crystalline silica in order to be considered safe. The filter grade DE is 60% crystalline! Stay away from it. It is dangerous! Perma-Guards food grade DE on the other hand is less than .50% crystalline silica. As you can see, that is more than 4 times less than it needs to be to be considered safe! Daily use of Food Grade DE for people, pets and around the garden is perfectly safe. Food Grade DE should be treated like any other dusty product, if you are going to breath it in over long periods of time, wear a dust mask, but it should in no way be compared to the dangerous crystallized filter grade.
5. Will DE interfere with any medication I am now taking?
Diatomaceous Earth is a mineral, silica. We have never ran into a situation in the orders sold where anyone has had a problem or reaction to taking DE. If you have any questions as to interactions with medications you are taking, ask your doctor or pharmacist if taking a silica supplement will cause any problems.
6. If this stuff is so great, why have I never heard of it before?
You have to remember that it is always "all about the money." No one is going to spend millions of dollars and years of research on a product that you dig out of the ground and that cannot be patented. Diatomaceous earth is one of those hundreds of natural products that get shunned by most doctors and drug companies. Most DE is sold and used by someone who has a friend or relative that has used it and gotten results. You would think that would be just the opposite, that a natural, safe, non-chemical and drug product that is inexpensive and has so many uses would be in every home in the country, but chemicals and drugs are where the big money is, so that is what gets promoted and used.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus appeared on Jay Leno Wednesday night. She told how when she and her husband were traveling in the Rainforest of Peru, a pink toed tarantula got on her husband's back. I'd never heard of such a thing, but it sounded like a possible Pink Saturday post, so I looked it up. Here's what this venomous insect looks like.

"Pain is temporary, Quitting lasts forever" – Lance Armstrong
I got this quote over twitter…When I think about my father, probably one of the greatest things he instilled in me is a feeling of I should never quit. I should keep striving, even through failure to keep trying to bang out something. That's probably the #1 reason I'm still here today, alive.
I keep trying. When I fucked up, went to jail, I didn't just wallow in the mire of my life, I kept forging ahead. I got my Computer Science degree. When I lose jobs due to layoffs or any other reasons, I keep going, and sometimes I land on my feet. I'm not saying my life is all roses, and a bowl of cherries. For every inch of ground I gained in my life, I have crawled it.
There is alot of things I have to accomplish in life, and lately I think I've been settling for the status quo. I've been spinning my wheels in the mud so to speak, I'm worried about being doomed to taking care of my parents, worried about losing my job, worried about the fact that I'm getting older, etc , etc.
Once in awhile, I gotta kick myself in my own ass. I must remind myself that to get what you want in life, you must work for it, and anything that is worth having is worth the work. I want the house with the white picket fence, I want my own family, I want the Cadillac in the driveway, but no ones going to hand it to me.
What I'm trying to say, yeah your life might suck, but you gotta hang in there, keep pushing on…and one day you just make it to where you need to be. There's an old Japanese proverb, "Fall down 7 times, get up 8"
One Response to ""Pain is temporary, Quitting lasts forever" – Lance Armstrong"
Instead of Japanese proverbs, I like to think of something Batman's dad said: "Why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."

GBP/USD falls to a low of 1.3247 on the day
The pair is now testing bids at the 1.3250 level, and a hourly candle break below that should lend support for a move towards Friday's low at 1.3212.
Sellers are still in control of the pair after the ECB's decision dragged down the euro – and inadvertently dragged down the pound as well – on Thursday, with the pair falling below the 100 and 200-hour moving averages. The upside in the near-term looks to be held back by the 1.3300 level so that will be the first area for buyers to break above in order to make an attempt back to the topside.
Anyway, there isn't any catalyst for the move that I can see but in general there are light flows with EUR/USD also falling to 1.1580 currently. The market looks really thin right now with little action all around across the board.
It's been a quiet start to the day/week, and so far there isn't any clear themes developing just yet. Let's see if things will pick up once the cash equity market opens in Europe in a couple of minutes.

The Ninety-Nines, Inc., is the first and only international organization of licensed women pilots. From 35 countries, we currently have over 5,500 members throughout the world. We are a non-profit, charitable membership corporation holding 501(c)(3) U.S. tax status. Our International Headquarters is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Although there are other female pilot organizations in various states and nations, virtually all women of achievement in aviation have been or are members of The Ninety-Nines.
The organization came into being November 2, 1929, at Curtiss Field, Valley Stream, Long Island, New York. All 117 American female pilots had been invited to assemble for mutual support and the advancement of aviation. Louise Thaden was elected secretary and worked tirelessly to keep the group together as we struggled to organize and grow until 1931, when Amelia Earhart was elected as first president and the group was named for the 99 charter members.
Today Ninety-Nines are comprised of women who fly purely for fun, fly professionally for airlines, corporations, flight schools, and government agencies, or fly their own airplanes for their own businesses. First and foremost, we are all women pilots who love to fly!
Our Headquarters is located in a two story building complex on six acres at the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This is also the site of our 99s Museum of Women Pilots, the world's largest collection of records, memorabilia, books, photographs, and audio and video tapes on women pilots from history and today. We also have a museum in Atchison, Kansas, in Amelia Earhart's birthplace home.
Please stop in if you are in the area. Our business hours are 9:00 AM to 5 PM Monday – Friday or by appointment.
Show your enthusiasm for aviation and your support for the Ninety-Nines by becoming a Friend of the Ninety-Nines. Click here for more information on becoming a Friend and membership benefits.

Foil Packet Broccoli in Spicy Garlic Sauce
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon chili oil
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium.
- Toss broccoli, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and chili oil together in a large bowl.
- Lay a sheet of aluminum foil onto a flat work surface. Dump the broccoli into the center of the foil. Bring two sides of the foil together and roll together to form a seam. Roll the ends to seal into a package.
- Grill broccoli until softened to your desired texture, 7 to 10 minutes.
This technique and sauce would also work well with other cruciferous vegetables. Try it with cauliflower, romanesco or Brussels sprouts. If you're vegetarian, you can find mushroom-based oyster sauce in Asian markets or online. Alternatively, sub in an additional tablespoon of soy sauce.
What others are saying
Tiana D. says:
Perfect accompaniment to any meat you already have going on the grill. This side was delicious next to some BBQ steaks, kid and husband approved!
Aja A says:
Cooked broccoli has never been something I was really into, but when it's sauteed in tons of garlic and soy sauce, I'm in. If for any reason you have some fried tofu on hand (trust me on this), add it. This is also good with beef or any protein for that matter.
Bernardette Flatow says:
Love broccoli! With this recipe the broccoli retains it´s natural vitamins and crispness. I added toasted sesame seeds- it tasted more oriental.
Steve Failows says:
Hard to go wrong with this recipe. So quick and easy - if you like garlic with some spice you gotta try it. Next time I'm excited to try this recipe with some Brussels sprouts.
Jenny Cronin says:
This flavor combo is delicious! I added to our grilled chicken as well and the garlicky spicy flavor was great. Will def use this sauce again for another grill night.

- millergeAsked on November 01, 2012 at 06:58 PM
I have used jotform to create a simple upload form for the university I work for. We have specified that the upload forms go directly to dropbox.
I have been asked by our legal department to find out if any images and documents uploaded by students will be stored anywhere but our dropbox, so will the documents also appear on jotform.com. And if they are is it possible to only have them upload to dropbox and not to jotform?
If they will also be stored on jotform we need to include a disclaimer because if the jotform website were to be hacked in to and the documents were to appear anywhere the students had not agreed to this would cause problems for us.
Thanks in advance.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on November 01, 2012 at 07:08 PM
Yes. The uploaded files will also have copy in JotForm servers for the simple reason that the form and submissions are located also in the server. But you can always delete the submissions with uploaded files as soon as you confirmed they are already copied in your dropbox account.
So, deleting the submissions with the uploaded files will clear the files from JotForm server, but you still have copy in your dropbox (make sure you have the form integrated to dropbox)
You can alwasy include the disclaimer at your own discretion.
Hope this help. Feel free to inform us if you have further inquiry.
- millergeAnswered on November 01, 2012 at 07:21 PM
Thankyou very much for the prompt reply. Yes I have tested the form a number of times and it goes through to dropbox perfectly.
I think the disclaimer will be the best course of action.
- millergeAnswered on November 01, 2012 at 07:32 PM
Is there a way to automatically clear data from jotform.com account? So that we are not required to log in at regular intervals and clear data, as we only have limited space on the free account.
What happens when the 100mb limit is reached? Will the user receive a message stating that the form is not working? Also does jotform notify the account holder when the space is nearing its limit so that we know to come in and clear it?
Thanks again for your help with this. Need to be thorough for my work and want to present this to my boss with as much information as I can.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on November 01, 2012 at 07:51 PM
Sorry, but there is no automated means to delete or clear the data in jotform.com. It is risky enough to manually allow deleting =) much more automating it. JotForm get complains from customers if data will suddenly disappear for some reasons.
You can check the submission limit feature to somehow control the incoming range of submissions and minimize the uploaded file accumulation. You can also opt for the flexible paid plans to have more space and submissions.
When you reach the 100mb limit, the form will be disabled, and the user will be prompted by a message that the form is currently disabled. You will get notification prior to the form becoming disabled. Also, remember that even free subscriptions get the reset feature every 1st day of the month. So, you always have fresh space and submissions every start of the month.
Hope I provided all the info you need.


text: Tom Ford Noir Eau de Toilette 22nd December, 2013 Aromatic Fragrance A quick one for Sunday but something I think you'll love and with 2 shopping days left, you might decide to run out and grab it for that special someone (i.e. yourself). Tom Ford Noir Eau de Toilette is a new variation on the original Tom Ford Noir Eau de Parfum. It's not that different from the original, which is good because I do love that, however the oriental, musky and spicy notes of the original have been uplifted and lightened with spearmint, citrus oils and Italian lemon. Weirdly it works in winter as you'd expect something like this to have had more of a summer launch. It smells fresh and sharp like a crisp winter morning and I've had more than one unprompted compliment on it. It lasts a long time and what you spray is pretty much the fragrance you'll have all day. It doesn't change all that much either, other than the top notes wearing and the heavier notes coming more into play. Tom Ford Noir Eau de Toilette is available for £50/50ml here from Selfridges.

WASHINGTON — From the people who most enthusiastically promoted the war in Iraq, the message now is peace.
Or at least a pause in hostilities.
Even as President Bush and his aides are talking tough about Syria, the neoconservative foreign policy thinkers who provided much of the intellectual justification for the war with Iraq are talking down the possibility of further military action in the Middle East -- at least in the near term.
"I just don't think there is a tremendous appetite on the part of most people for endless military operations, even among people who think things turned out reasonably well in Iraq," said Aaron L. Friedberg, a neoconservative professor of international affairs at Princeton University.
This restrained tone has surprised some because almost all of the leading neoconservative intellectuals have portrayed the Iraq war as just one chapter in a larger struggle against Islamic extremism. But in a flurry of articles and statements since the fall of Baghdad, many of those same thinkers are contending that the next steps should involve diplomatic and economic pressure, not military force.

1 bell pepper of each color, red, yellow and green peppers,
2 celery stalks,
1 cup sliced olives,
2-3 scallions,
1 Tbsp. freshly chopped parsley,
3 lemons, juiced,
1 teaspoon salt,
3 Tbsp. olive oil,
freshly baked garlic-herb croutons.
Recipe: Core the tomatoes and drop them in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer them in iced water and peel them. Add the tomatoes, olive oil, chicken stock, lemon juice and 2 cups of iced water to a blender and blend them until smooth. You can also use a stick blender, which is even easier to use. Chop the vegetables finely and add them to the soup. Cover the gazpacho soup and keep it refrigerated for at least 1 hour to blend together the flavors. Serve the gazpacho soup cold from the fridge with a handful of fresh croutons on top. Please check my other recipe for Gazpacho Soup using different ingredients.

2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1lb hamburger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (30oz) jar spaghetti sauce
Cook rice. Add eggs, and 1/4 cups parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Combine cheeses, reserving 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Mix well. Brown meat, add garlic powder, spaghetti sauce until heated. Spoon half of rice in bottom of 3 qt. dish. Cover with half of cheese mixture. Top with half of meat sauce. Repeat layers. Top with 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Bake 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Serves 6-8. Four times the recipe does a scant 4-9x13 containers. Make 6 times the recipe to make four full 9x13 containers to freeze.

Pizza Dough
1 pkg dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in water; add sugar, salt, and oil. Add flour and mix well. Cover and let rise in a warm place, about 5 minutes (frugalpal tip: for a thicker crust, let rise about 1/2 hour). We made 2 double batches.
For individual crusts:
Divide each double batch of dough into 12 balls. Pat each ball into a 4-6 inch circle on a cookie sheet. Bake until lightly browned. Does not have to be completely baked. Let cool and freeze in gallon bags.
To make individual pizzas:
Put on cookie sheet. Add toppings. Put in oven long enough to melt cheese. Or you may warm them in the microwave a little until cheese melts.
Hot Dog Wraps
2 tablespoons yeast
2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted shortening
1 egg
6 1/2-7 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, and 1/2 cup flour. Beat 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup melted shortening and egg. Add flour and knead until smooth. Let rise until double.
For wraps:
Make double batch of dough
3 lbs. hot dogs
16 slices American cheese
Divide dough into 3 balls. Roll each ball into a 16 inch circle. Cut with pizza cutter into 16 pie shaped slices. Put 1/3 slice of cheese of largest end of pie slice. Then put 1/2 hotdog on each slice and roll like a crescent roll.
One double batch should make 96 wraps. These wraps are nice for children's lunches or an after school snack. Just warm them in the microwave.
frugalpal note: For some reason, we did not get enough wraps out of our dough. I usually have trouble getting 16 slices for each ball. Must be another dim moment.

Freezer Meals Part Four

Is making your own dough cheaper than buying a loaf of frozen bread dough or canned dough, if you factor in the time it takes to make it?

Not necessarily. Frozen bread dough will cost $1/loaf on sale. Making your own bread dough for something like this is not really that time consuming. I use my KitchenAid for kneading, so making bread dough is very simple.

Query Kombat is OPEN!!! Submission Guidelines!
WINDOW IS NOW OPEN!! Read below for more details. BUT GUYS, GO. We have had 53 submissions in less than 30 minutes! Get yours in before we reach the max of 225 entries!
For full details on the whole point of this contest, how it'll work, what it is, and more, click here. For a list of the agents participating, click here. For a list of the judges and mentors, click here.
The submission window will open at 11AM EST on Monday, May 13th (that's today!) and close at 11AM Friday, May 17th OR WHEN WE RECEIVE 225 ENTRIES. You may submit entries for two manuscripts (in the same email) but we will only consider the second entry if less than 64 entries are received. (64 is the number of entries that will actually get into the contest.) Kontestants will be revealed May 24th and the tournament will kick off on May 28th on Michelle's blog.
In order to enter the contest you MUST follow formatting guidelines, follow our blogs, and submit during the contest window. All entries that follow those guidelines will be considered. In the event that we receive more than the available spots, hosts (that's Mike, Michelle, and I!) will be assigned a group of queries and pick the best of their group. We will also select a few alternates. Sixty-four queries will enter into the tournament.
Send entries to: QueryKombat (at) yahoo (dot) com
Formatting guidelines:
Times New Roman, 12pt font, single-spaced with spaces between each paragraph. No indents or tabs. PLEASE.
Subject line of the Email: A short, unique nickname for your entry [colon] your genre (audience included). Do not skip this step or your entry will be deleted.
Example: Dumbledore Fan: YA Fantasy
For the nickname, make it as unique as possible so that there are no duplicates. These will be the names used in the tournament brackets and post headings so keep it PG-13 and try to have it relate to your story in some way. Nicknames are limited to 25 characters!
***The four Free Pass winners should include "Free Pass" before their nickname in the subject line to ensure their spot.
In the body of the email (bold where bold):
(YES. Include the words 'Name,' 'Email address,' 'Entry Nickname,' etc., put a colon after them, and BOLD THEM. We want to just copy and paste from the email address with as little hassel as possible :)
Name: SC Author
Email address: firstname.lastname@example.com
(Neither of the above will be posted -- it is just for us admins to use.)
Entry Nickname: Dumbledore Fan
Title: Dumbledore to the Rescue!
Word count: 77,000
Genre: YA Fantasy
Dumbledore rocks. He really does. So when he uses the Resurrection Stone to talk to Victor Hugo, Dumbledore didn't expect what was coming next.
Jean Valjean was a wizard! He was the previous owner of the Elder Wand, and in order to find out why his wand is malfunctioning, Dumbledore must use the Time-Turner to go back in time and find out just what happened to the wand when Jean Valjean was its owner.
But there's a catch: on the Time-Turner. Since it's a necklace-type thing. So it has a catch. And Dumbledore must open the catch before he can wear the Time-Turner and save the day.
(Only include the meat of your query. No bio. Queries may be up to 350 words, but 250 is strongly preferred. Names and emails address of Kontestants will not be posted. NO tabs or anything. Just a simple line break :D)
First 250 words:(Don't include the chapter title and please, don't stop in the middle of a sentence. You can go over/under a few words to make it end at a sentence, but don't abuse this power. Also, no paragraph breaks or tabs. Just line breaks.)
All queries submitted are FINAL. We will not edit them in any way, shape, or form. Please read, reread, and rereread your submission before you hit send. Unless you make it into the third round, you will not have another opportunity to edit your query or first 250 words. You have several days to polish your work. Take advantage of it.
Competition will be fierce. You are going up against the best in your age group! (We're trying to get the brackets set up so each bracket is a different age group, but that all depends on the numbers of entries and stuff. Fingers crossed!)
Put on your thick skin and get those submissions—Ready! Set! Go! GO GO GO!!
And we are #QueryKombat on Twitter, I'm SC_Author over there, so drop by and tweet us!

Wow, that is awesome!ReplyDelete
Question: you said we could submit two in one email. The subject should include the genre. But what if the two books are different genres? Should I have the subject be "NICKNAME: Adult Historical Fiction / YA Thriller? Or should I send two emails, with the understanding that the first sent would be the first for the purposes of "we will only consider the second entry if less than 64 entries are received"ReplyDeleteReplies
This is already getting exciting and I'm not even participating. Good luck to all who enter!ReplyDelete
Great line-up of judges. Thanks for this. Aaaagh... I didn't bold where I should bold. Help!ReplyDelete
Popping in to say hi! It's been awhile! And look at you, SC. Doing so many awesome things. How fun!ReplyDelete
Question: My ms is with an agent that asks for exclusives on requested material. Is it ok to enter query kombat or is that unprofessional?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi! Super excited about this challenge. I'm one one of that first 50 something in the first 30 minutes, but I'm not sure it got there. I know you said that confirmations would be sent and I don't know if that's something that I should have gotten already or of if I'm just being impatient. :-) thanks for all you do--this is an awesome kombat opportunity. :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for checking! Hope I don't start of firestorm of "hey did you get mine?" Should change name to paranoidgirl. Ok, will settle down and wait for the fun to begin. :-)ReplyDelete
This sounds really interesting! I'll see if I have time.ReplyDelete

25 years ago Martin Marty painted for us a vivid portrait of the public church. His three assumptions about the public church were that it: 1) expresses itself in discriminately engaging the secular order or disorder; 2) interacts in meaningful ways with religions outside biblical faith; and 3) provides a counterforce to religious communities that impose a complete set of norms on its people, form tribes who reject outsiders, or practice a privatistic faith of individualism.
Marty further suggested that the public church need not rely upon a Christianization of American culture, but can draw resources from those who preach a justitia civilis, a civil righteousness. Preaching in the public church proclaims the intrinsic values of grace and hope for the world. There is still wisdom today in Marty's description of the public church and public preaching.
More recently, in her book Public Church: For the Life of the World (Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress, 2004), Cynthia Moe-Lobeda illuminates the significance of the North American church's public identity and vocation in an "age of privatization." The church of Jesus Christ cannot be a place for privatized spirituality, a personal religion that does not impact the public good. She presents proclamation of the good news as being "in and to the world." A public church calls for public preaching.
These and other reflections on the public church incite the need for further reflection on the relationship between an understanding of the church as a public assembly and the shape of public preaching.
Public Church
Distinctions between what is public and what is private go back to political philosophy in ancient Greece. Aristotle distinguished between the polis, public or political space, and oikos (i.e., household), familial or private space. In his understanding the family existed for the sake of the polis, not the polis for the sake of the family. Personhood is to be defined by the polis. Human identity is shaped by the public sphere.
As Western Christianity took on many of the assumptions of the 18th century Enlightenment, the church's identity became defined more by the private individual or the personal family than by the polis. Over time the understanding of the church shifted from being a public space to being a private space. As a private space the emphasis within the church has been upon responding to the felt needs of the individual believer, ministering to the family, and creating an intimate environment for worship and fellowship. The Western church has fallen into what Richard Sennett has called "the tyranny of intimacy."
To understand the church as a private space for the individual or family has had a profound impact on the proclamation and mission of the church. As private space the church focuses its energies on nurturing individuals and families. Theology is replaced by therapy. Mission is replaced by maintenance. Public worship is turned into a private, intimate affair. Preaching seeks to meets the ever changing needs of the individual believer.
The public church is the church in mission, the church empowered by the Spirit and turned toward the world. This does not mean the public church neglects to meet the needs of individuals and families, but its raison d'etre is its mission to the world. For God so loved the world… To use the imagery of Aristotle, in a real incarnational and missional sense the church as oikos (i.e., household) exists for the sake of the polis (i.e., public).
James Fowler has offered us a significant list of characteristics of the public church (Weaving the New Creation: Stages of faith and the Public Church. San Francisco: Harper, 1991, chap. 6). His list grows out of observations of particular congregations. I will offer my own list of characteristics of the public church. My short list is intended to focus on a few of the characteristics of the public church that connect with its practice of public preaching.
* The public church has a clear sense of mission- The public church is a missional church. Mission is not relegated to a special committee or project. All that the church is and does in worship, discipleship, practices, education, and ministry is permeated by its call by God to be salt of the earth, a light of the world, a "city set on a hill." As salt and light the public church's witness penetrates to world in which God has placed it. A city on a hill is not a private enclave, but rather a collective public witness to the world around it.
* The public church engages in public witness and the common good- The public witness of the church involves social responsibility within the wider community and world. This takes the form not only of acts of charity, like soup kitchens and food banks, but in the work of resistance to systemic powers of injustice and active engagement in social and institutional transformation. Some theologians have proposed a type of "sectarian future of the church" in which the church's primary focus is upon living in the world as "resident aliens." The public church seeks the common good not only of the body politic of the church, but also the res publica, the world that surrounds the church.
* The public church is hospitable and diverse- If North American society is pluralistic, one should expect that the church within such a context would reflect cultural, racial, economic, and social diversity. Hospitality, an open welcome to strangers and a cultural value in the ancient Mediterranean world of the Bible, has to be recaptured in new ways by the public church. Hospitality to the stranger has profound social and political implications for the public church in a religiously pluralistic world where there is talk of the "clash of civilizations."
Public Preaching
Homiletics and ecclesiology are inextricably linked. How we understand the nature of the church and its mission will shape our practice of preaching. If our concept of the church is parochial and self-referential, our preaching will be circumscribed by constricted ecclesial boundaries. The public church, as I have characterized it, engenders preaching which engages the public beyond the walls of the church.
Preaching in the public church is, in the words of Arthur Van Seters, a "social act." As a social act preaching is consciously aware and shaped by the social contexts or "publics" in which it is embedded. These social contexts include the communities within the biblical texts, the local congregation, ecumenical, and universal church, other faith communities, the nation, and the wider world.
Preaching that addresses a diverse public demands a polyvalent voice. The good news will fall on ears male and female, young and old, liberal and conservative, rich and poor, powerful and oppressed, and people from a various races, cultures, and ethnicities. Public preaching will seek to tune its voice to speak to the rich diversity of its audience. That does not mean the message will be the same for all, particularly if it is "good news to the poor."
The characteristics of the public church I have previously outlined lend themselves to shaping some characteristics of public preaching. The following list is a brief sketch of what public preaching that grows out of the public nature of the church might look like.
· Public preaching is missional Mission-oriented preaching is not about telling exotic stories of foreign missionaries in strange cultures or using the Bible as a thin springboard from which to leap for support of missionary institutions. Missional preaching illuminates the connection between the church as an apostolic (i.e., sent) community and the public as the arena of its mission.
* Public preaching is emancipatory and political- Public preaching involves more than widening the audience of the Christian proclamation. Preaching that addresses the common good and witnesses to the public of the reign of God will of necessity proclaim the prophetic message of "good news to the poor, liberation for the captives, and freedom for the oppressed" (Isa. 61:1-2a; Luke 4:18-19). Public preaching is political not in a partisan sense, but in the sense of being good news that shapes the body politic of the church and its engagement with the wider polis or world.
* Public preaching is communal and conversational. Monological preaching that is lodged in the solitary preacher and isolated from dialogue with its communal context loses its public character. If preaching is a practice of the church for itself and the world, it will be shaped by diverse public conversations. It is the challenge of the public preacher to form practices of biblical study, contextual analysis, and sermon preparation which are in dialogue with a diverse persons and communities within and beyond the church.
A congregation focused on its individual members and families or even buzzing with social ministry and political activism will not suffice for a polis needing to hear the good news of God's reign. A public church instigates a practice of public preaching.

Are you looking for the perfect home to fit your couch, a Persian rug or maybe a dining room table? Does this make sense to anyone, why are people buying homes for objects and not for those people who are living in the home? Too many times I've seen families turn down the perfect home in the perfect neighbourhood because it won't fit their bedroom set or their mirrored dresser.
Don't let your things rule your life, the people who live in that home now obviously have a bed and it seems to fit, so sell your larger than normal bed and buy one that fits in that perfect house, or trade with a family member if the item is important to the family. I understand keeping a family heirloom, but if your home budget doesn't allow you to buy a home with a living room that is 20x20 then maybe Grandma's rug should go to a family member who has space for it and then you can find a home that is right for you and your family, not a rug that you feel obligated to keep.
Reality is budget is a large deciding factor in what kind of home you end up in and if you are forced to choose the home with the largest dining room to fit a table you never eat at, you may be giving up on other items that you need such as an extra bathroom, a large yard or even a home in a condition that you can move into right away.
The best suggestion I have to avoid being caught in buying a home for your items is to make a list of why you are moving from your current home, these are items that are driving you out of your current place and into a new one. Once you know what is driving you out of your current home, what is on your list of need to have and nice to have, knowing the difference between need and want can be very difficult but make the process easier. If you are buying the home with another person, I strongly suggest making this list together, you may find out that your spouse hates that large couch you inherited and buying a home with space for it makes no sense if it's uncomfortable anyways.
Remember when you are looking for a home why you are moving, I'm sure your bedroom set didn't wake up one morning and decide to move because it didn't like your current neighbour, if you have to part with some items to move to where you want to be, I'm sure your happiness in the new home will outweigh the cost to replace an item that is too large for your new home.
When you list your home, I know that all sellers dream of having multiple offers, how much better can selling your home get, it sells quickly and you get to choose the best offer of the bunch! If multiple offers are what you are looking for, here are some tips on how to create multiple offers and some things to watch out for if they come up.
Price your Home Right: Price is what drives buyers into your home, if they don't perceive it to be priced right they won't be willing to look at it quickly. If a buyer or that buyer's agent believes that the home is priced below market value, they will be willing to drop everything and look at your home right away, only when you get multiple buyers in your property quickly can you get multiple offers.
Price might bring them in the door, but the quality of your home is what will get them to buy. Make sure that your home is fully ready for sale before you list it, if items are incomplete or it's not cleaned, decluttered and staged then your home won't stand out and make those buyers feel that they had better buy this one before someone else does.
If you list your home and have an open house planned for a few days later, buyers will feel the pressure to look at the home before the open house and to possibly offer before that open house as well, remember a buyer feels that the less eyes on a property the better the chances they will not have to end up in multiple offers
If you are looking for multiple offers, make sure that your agent is calling all agents who have been through the home that have showed interest or haven't left any feedback at all. Your agent should be making sure that they are exploring all options for more offers if that is what you are looking for. Also, keep in mind
that some buyer's will shy away from multiple offers, so you do risk losing those buyers if you are too aggressive.
once you have been advised there are multiple offers coming in, you will meet with your agent and all of the offers to choose which one works best for you. Remember that the buyers have put their best foot forward, so you won't often be able to send them back for more money. While price is obviously a very important factor when you look at the offers, other factors to consider can be close date, conditions like financing, inspection and even sale of the buyer's home. Make sure that you choose the offer that works best for you and if you have to ask the buyer to make a few tweaks hopefully it can be done. Be cautious of accepting an offer that has no conditions, in a few cases, buyers can get caught up in offering on a house before they have their financing pre-approved and could end up backing out of the offer, at which point, you would have to go back to the other buyers and hope that they are still interested in buying your home. Not only can choosing the wrong offer cost you valuable time on the market, but it can also cost you more money if the other buyers are not interested, of have chosen to lower their original offer.
Whether you end up with multiple offers or just one offer, remember the end result is the same, your home will sell for market value and you'll be moving onto your next adventure!
Multiple offers are the things dreams are made of for sellers, but a nightmare for the buyer. Today I wanted to provide some tips for buyers who end up in a multiple offer situation.
1. Don't wait: If you've found the one, don't wait to offer on it. Every day that you wait, other buyers are looking at the property and the more people that see it, the more likely you are to end up in multiple offers
2. Be Ready: Have your mortgage pre approval, once you have your mortgage pre approval you'll know what you can afford and you'll be confident when you put in an offer. If you have a questionable pre approval it is advised to not get into a multiple offer situation
3. Have your Professionals Ready: If you do in fact end up offering on a multiple offer situation, you may be asked to tighten up your time frame to complete home inspections and final mortgage approvals and even lawyer tasks. It is best to know who you will be using for these services and to make sure that you have them ready when you are.
4. Let you agent know your position: Having open and honest communication with your real estate agent is best and you need to let them know how you feel about multiple offers. If you are willing to compete for the perfect house or if you are willing to walk away and keep looking. If your agent doesn't know your true feelings for the house or your motivation, they won't be able to properly assist. Remember, with a signed buyer's commitment, your real estate agent is working for you and you are free to tell them how much you love or hate a house and don't be afraid to hide your true feelings, chances are your agent doesn't own that house and won't be offended.
5. Plan a Strategy: I can't give up all my multiple offer strategy tips here, but those of you who have worked with me in multiple offers are aware of what can be done. One tip that I will provide to everyone is don't compromise on the big items, if your agent is asking you to remove your conditions of financing (if your financing is unsure) or to remove a home inspection, those aren't items you should be compromising on. Maybe not asking for that wall mounted TV or appliances you know the owners want to keep are good items to remove from the offer, but not items that can affect your ability to purchase the house, the added stress isn't worth it.
6. Remember it's your Best Shot: Make sure when you are choosing what price you are going to offer in a multiple offer situation that what you are offering is your one and only chance. This price is the price you have to live with, make sure it's a number you can afford, a number that doesn't make you second guess how much you spent on the house and a number that isn't just below the other offer and when you found out you lost the house over $1000 you don't want to kick yourself over and over again.
7. Feel Good about your decision: Remember that if you don't get the house you wanted there is always going to be another that you love even more. If you did get the house in the multiple offer, Congratulations don't worry if you paid a little more than you wanted, the house was the one and you'll be there long enough to make a return on your investment.
Multiple offers can be exciting and nerve racking at the same time, make sure you are prepared if the situation arises and remember if you work with a good agent and the home is meant to be yours, it will be!
Attending open houses can be fun, you can see your neighbours homes, get decorating ideas, go into large homes and dream of the possibilities; but are you doing it right? When you attend an open house the agent working that open house is there to sell that home or to connect to potential clients. Are you leading that agent on? Are you pretending to be an interested buyer? Are you not interested in the home and walk around giving negative comments?
While as a realtor we are happy to have people come through the open house, there is some etiquette that we would expect. If you are a neighbour and simply coming through to "check" out the house just let the realtor know. I often find that neighbours can be the best source of finding buyers for a home, they let all their friends know how great the neighbourhood is and they see the signs go up first, but if the realtor hosting the open house thinks you are an interested buyer they may be wasting valuable time speaking with you at an open house when they could be answering questions for a truly interested buyer. The same rules apply if you are a person who frequents open houses as something to do on the weekend or is looking for decorating ideas. A simple "I'm just looking for decorating ideas" or "I'm a neighbour, not looking to buy myself" can go a long way in an open house and will most likely guarantee you won't be hounded for information either.
If you are a buyer who is interested in buying but the house is not what you had expected, simply leave. Remember the agent doesn't own the house and while constructive feedback is appreciated, often the agent is aware of the condition of the home and if there are obvious defects, they are aware of that too. When you walk through an open house with lots of negative opinions and there are other people in the house, remember that this may be the home of their dreams or their budget may differ from yours and this home is all they are able to afford and they will make it work. If you walk around and provide negative comments around every corner you may be jeopardizing the sale of the home. The agent will not be offended if you simply walk in, say it's not the right home for you and leave.
I look forward to seeing you at any open house I hold and hope if you attend other agents open houses that you keep these tips in mind, happy hunting!
With summer upon us, more and more buyers are looking at homes and are wearing sandals. While you may wear summer shoes in your home, buyers feel it's rude to leave their shoes on in your home, so they take them off and are left with bare feet.
I urge everyone who has their home for sale in the summer to do the barefoot test. Take a walk around your home like you are a potential buyer in your bare feet and make sure that nothing sticks to your feet, that your feet don't stick to anything and that your home in general feels clean.
Areas that I commonly find to be a concern are front entrances, make sure that if you do wear your shoes in the house that you aren't leaving sand and dirt particles at your front door, a barefoot visitor will grab these on their feet as their first and last impressions. Basements, all buyers go into the basement, even if you don't go there a lot, so make sure even your furnace or utility room is clean. Another basement area that can feel very dirty to bare feet is a kitty litter area, I've often walked into a basement and ended up with kitty litter on my feet from little fluffy walking it around the basement. I would suggest a small carpet outside of your kitty litter box for fluffy to wipe his paws on before he treks it all over the basement.
Buyers will also step outside of your home, into the garage or onto the deck, so make sure those areas are swept up as well. All areas of your home, inside and out need your attention, not only in the summer, but all year round.
Another item that can set off barefoot buyers is sticky kitchen floors, if you have children I'm sure a spilled drink it common, but in a buyers mind, a sticky floor is dirty and a dirty floor can mean a dirty home which causes them to wonder what else has been left unattended.
Before your home is ready for sale, make sure all areas of your home are bare foot tested and ready for those summer buyers.
Looking ahead to your twilight years? Is your next move going to be to a bungalow? If you are looking to purchase a bungalow, it would be better to buy one sooner rather than later. With the aging baby boom population a bungalow style home is going to be more and more in demand. The increased demand from those boomers to buy homes that they can both maintain and stay in as they age will start to increase the price of bungalow homes.
In 2008 the average price of a detached bungalow was $267,430, while the average price of a 2 storey detached in Kitchener/Waterloo was $296,553, in 2013 the average price of a bungalow was $310,648 and the average price of the 2 storey detached was $321,117, the bungalow saw an increase of 16.16% over 5 years while the 2 storey detached homes only saw an increase of 8.28%. Bungalow prices are increasing almost twice as fast as 2 storeys. I don't believe that we will see a decrease in the prices of 2 storey detached homes, as we still have move up buyers who are increasing their family size and need these larger homes. Another statistic that is showing the popularity of bungalows is the number of days on the market, the average days a bungalow was on the market in Kitchener/waterloo in 2013 was 35 and the average days a 2 storey was on the market was 38, while this isn't a large difference now, I believe with decreased inventory we will see fewer days on the market for a bungalow compared to a 2 storey home.
With the increased demand from the boomers to stay on their own and not into a retirement home, they will be looking for homes that allow them to physically stay longer than a 2 storey home would. A smaller bungalow with less yard maintenance is going to be desired and I believe that we will be seeing these prices increase at a faster rate as those boomers start to get closer and closer to downsizing.
If you currently own a bungalow and love it, stay in it. If you own a bungalow and are looking to sell it and believe that it might be ideal for a senior, waiting a little longer for those prices to increase may be wise, as the trends are showing increasing demand for bungalows and the population of boomers who are moving closer and closer to retirement is also increasing. According to the 2011 census, in Canada 3 of every 10 Canadians is in the boomer generation. Those boomers have saved for retirement and are looking for a way to enjoy their retirement in their own comfortable environment, a bungalow will allow them just that.
Bungalows are going to be in high demand and if you are looking at that option, I would highly suggest looking at that option now before the prices of bungalows inflate higher and become harder and harder to find.
If you're thinking about buying your next home or your first home, a wish list can be very helpful to me as your realtor. When I search for properties for buyers, I am able to drill down a little further and get more specific with a home than a consumer is able to view on realtor.ca, so by sending me your wish list, I can make sure that properties that have what you are looking for are sent to you immediately.
In Kitchener Waterloo, on any given day there are over 1200 homes listed for sale, by sending me your wish list, I'm able to narrow that amount of listings down to a manageable amount and show you the homes most fitting to your needs and block out any of the white noise from properties that just don't fit.
When making your wish list I do suggest that your items are categorized into items that you NEED to have and items that you WANT to have and items that would be NICE to have. This will allow me to meet all your needs immediately, such as number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, price, and location.
Once I've met your needs on a home, I then look for wants, such as finished basements, size of garage, white cabinets in the kitchen, I know that when you are looking for your 2nd, 3rd or even final home, the wants are very specific, since you've lived with items you have hated in the past. Please don't be shy when providing me with those wants, this is your home and I've been tasked to find it and don't worry, I will!
Once we've found a home that has all your needs and your wants (if it fits the budget) then we can look at the nice to haves, I often look at the nice to haves as items that add value to the home that you are purchasing, but they are also items that if you needed to add them later, you could. This could be something like a hot tub, a certain type of flooring, maybe even a finished basement (depending on your handy skills). The nice to have items I often don't search for in the search criteria, but would be sure to point them out when choosing between more than one home.
I do caution first time buyers not to go too overboard on your needs and wants, remember to keep your budget in mind so that we can find a realistic home. If you happen to have a lot of needs and wants, by all means include them so I can look for the dream house, but all choose your top 3 in each category, these are items that you could not live without! I also like to remind first time buyers that in some cases, the place they are renting or even their parents' home may be nicer than their budget allows, but not to worry about size all the time, believe me, when you own your own home, no matter how small it is, you will make it yours and feel so happy to have your first home.
When I look back now to when we were looking for our first home, I cringe to think of the things we would have settled on, but I know we would have still been blissfully happy…for a few years. If your plan for your first home is more than a few years, please let me know that, I can assist with getting a home with better resale value down the road and one that will allow you to enjoy it now and your returns later when you sell.
No matter which stage in the home buying process you are, send me your wish list and share all your dreams with me, my job is to make those dreams a reality. I look forward to seeing your wish list and helping you in the future.
Is your couch so large that it's affecting the sale of your home? We all know that we want the largest, softest, most comfy couch when we veg out and watch TV. Cuddled up with our blankets, popcorn bowls, books, remotes, dogs and kids, the need for a large couch space is apparent, but is your beast of a couch slowing your home sale?
Often I find clients trying to fit their furniture in the home for sale and if the furniture in their potential new home is much larger than what they have, they will find it hard to think that their furniture will fit. Less truly is more, letting people know that there is room for a full couch and a loveseat is great, but they don't need to see your mammoth couch and 2 more matching lazy boys too!
Here are some tips on picking the right couch for the space that you have:
If you have high ceilings, choose a couch with a tall back or oversized back cushions to help soften the rooms starkness
If you have a small living space, try an apartment sized sofa, or a loveseat paired with 2 chairs to give a conversational space, odds are that people won't notice it's not a full sized couch if it's laid out right
If your space is open and you have it broken into 2 room spaces - consider a sectional couch if the space is large, it will help your mind break up the space into 2 different rooms and make it feel more spacious, there is nothing worse than an open concept home with too much furniture
If you have a lot of furniture, consider removing it for selling your home, take out that bulky couch and matching chair, they take up too much space and probably look worn anyways - that's why they are so great for relaxing, but that worn in look doesn't sell homes.
If you need to rent furniture to make your space work , the small cost for the month that you may need to rent will pay off. The better your home looks, the quicker it sells and the quicker you can go back to regular life and well, packing!
We've all heard that your home needs to be devoid of personal photos when your home is for sale, but do you know why? There are lots of reasons why your personal photos can affect the sale of your property. I can't tell you how many times I've seen buyers more interested in the family photos on the wall then in the space of your home. I often hear comments such as "oh I think I know them" or "Look at that Mullet! Come here honey and look!" Not only are they distracting themselves, but their spouse as well and now neither of them is looking at the home. I can tell you that I've been guilty of the exact same thing with funny family photos, but when I ask a client later what they thought of a certain home; they almost always forget what the features were of the homes with the photos.
Your photos may not only be distracting but can give away your motivation for moving, possibly you were just married and there is only one person on title of the home. As a real estate agent/Investigator, I'm able to determine that most likely this home is not the preferred home of the recently married spouse and that he/she is motivated to sell this house to get into a home that belongs to both of them to start their newly married life. Some family photos can show how many kids you have and how old they are, from that I can tell if a family needs to move since they no longer fit in the home. Even if they have done a great job de-cluttering to make the home look spacious, the number of people in a home can tell me they are motivated to move for extra space.
A handful of times I have found art to be just as distracting. In those times, it has been extreme. For example I was in a home where to artist was the owner and every square inch of the walls was covered in her art and self-portraits, while the art was well done, it was too much and we ended up counting the number of art pieces in the home which totaled over 70 on the walls.
Another distraction can be the family calendar, some families write very detailed items on their calendars, often very personal details. I would suggest that all personal items be put away, photos, calendars, artwork and anything else that may distract the buyers or give any insight as to your motivation to move.
