Conversations with my ego
It never fails: when ego appears I am invariably disassociated from my best thinking and the necessary humility which results in the best possible end result to any situation.
This isn't to say ego is always a bad thing. There are times when I know my ego is important to my evolution in how I both view the world (and the world views me.) As an example, without the strengthening of my ego I might not have been able to overcome the adversities confronting me as a younger man. Without a healthy ego I would not have been able to slowly grow towards learning how to love myself, embrace my defects and hone what I would learn were my many assets towards a better understanding for how to navigate this planet successfully.
Without the positive elements of ego I am not likely to believe in myself, the things I am able to do and the person I am learning to be. It instills confidence and applies my ability to walk through the walls holding me back from being the best man possible. My ego pushes me through fear, as well as all the little and colossal challenges I confront on a daily basis.
When the conversation with my ego becomes necessary is when my it decides to run the show, telling me what I deserve and what I am not getting. Fear has the potential to run my world. Ego is often a defense mechanism or shield there to "protect" me from what would appear (my perception) as a problem, a barrier or a person, place and thing I must prove something to. Invariably, the correct likelihood will be there is nothing at all which needs proving, my ego created the whole scenario in the first place. For me this becomes one of the definitions of a vicious cycle. This is where it becomes a danger to dwell, or think too much about the way the world is and how I am "treated" within it.
Last week I wrote about creating my own problems. Ego is often a culprit when this happens (along with the ever-lurking ISM tied to both my fears and the thought-based ego in-between my ears.) When I am unhappy in any situation I have undoubtedly started to believe I am not being taken care of or not getting what I deserve. I have removed myself from the basic tenants of service and selflessness and placed myself in a starring role where the need for validation or reward is highly unnecessary and often unwarranted. Although I could not possibly speak to every situation (there will be times when thoughts of change or recognition provide a healthy and/or justified means to an end,) it is more probable that whatever is perceived when involved with my ISM is more a product of resentment and fear.
So how does this conversation go? When I am fortunate enough to become aware my ego is steering me into unhealthy or unproductive pathways, I have found ways to (what's the name of this blog?) halt the thought processes and prospective behaviors that could result. This is no easy task even with awareness when you are in the throws of "where is mine" and "what have you done for me lately?" It is very difficult to sidestep fear when the over-active imagination is tarnished with learned or practiced behavior that can default to the negative (for many this is a comfortable place.) "What if" tends to be a far easier go to than any positive alternative. Hope and faith appear to work far better in situations of comfort and safety, as opposed to the places where the threat (real or imagined) of loss or pain (emotional or physical) block the view.
This is where my ego is dangerous. When I am not in the more powerful spiritual mindsets I have been fortunate enough to learn and understand, I am in danger of thinking incorrectly without awareness or memory of the tools which have saved me (and helped me grow continuously in the past.) My ego is good, my ego is bad… but the most important thing I must know is my ego is manageable and better for me when used for the right reasons. It is all about the awareness and the resulting conversation.
Stop. Smile. Breathe.

Immortal - Book 1: Chapter 14
The Fiercest Man
Being wounded by Tianling-er right after using the Demonic Body Toning Method, it took Zhong Shan almost four hours to feel better. It wasn't until the next day that he fully recovered from the after effect of the Demonic Body Toning Method.
He took care of the mountain lion's body and found an inner core inside its body. With the inner core he retrieved from the silver wolf last time, he now had two inner cores. However, Zhong Shan still didn't know what the inner core could even be used for. Therefore, he just carefully put them away and waited to use them at a later date.
He made jerky out of the mountain lion's meat, which tasted delicious. The skin was made into several pairs of pants. Zhong Shan only had a few change clothes here. He was careful not to wear them too often because they could easily be destroyed inside the kiln. But those pants made of animal skin were extremely strong which could survive the fire inside the kiln.
His life continued; he practiced machete forms, Dayang Shengong, Hongluan Manual, and Demonic Body Toning Method during this time.
But after two months, Zhong Shan found his progress to be discouraging. He had reached the first level of the Dayang Shengong and was moving towards the second level. But he was stuck and couldn't move up to the second level. By this time, he's no longer afraid of the heat; even if he added a lot more firewood, the flame was still not strong enough for him. Zhong Shan needed a more powerful heat source.
Tianling-er was waiting outside a cave near the Yanshan Peak. She kept looking at the boulder which blocked the entrance to the cave. There were several instances where she almost used the red silk in her hand to blast the boulder to pieces, but she bit her lips and calmed herself down.
"Honglonglong ~ ~ ~"
The cave finally opened up.
"Xiaonanzi, come out, quick." Tianling-er immediately called into the cave.
"Uh, shimei, no, shijie, why are you here?" From inside the cave came the voice of Nanbatian, somewhat surprised.
Soon, Nanbatian came out of the cave and looked at Tianling-er in amazement.
"I have waited for you for two months now. What took you so long? Did you have a breakthrough?" Tianling-er asked.
"En, I'm at Xiantian 8th stage too. I'll catch up with you pretty soon. Hahaha, by that time, you will be a shimei again." Nanbatian laughed.
"Hum, to catch up with me? You're dreaming. I will reach the 9th stage very soon. I'm the best among the third generation disciples in terms of intelligence and innate talent." Tianling-er spoke full of confidence.
Seeing Tianling-er's confidence, Nanbatian could only helplessly shake his head.
"Then, shijie, why are you here looking for me?" Nanbatian asked.
"Oh, right, I want to ask a favor from you." The tone of Tianling-er's voice suddenly became weaker.
"You want to ask a favor from me?" Nanbatian widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Yup, are you going to help me or not?" Tianling-er changed her tone instantly and stared.
"Sure I'll help you. You are the princess of our Kaiyang School. Who would dare not to help you." Nanbatian answered with a sad face.
Zhong Shan came out of the kiln with knitted eyebrows and traces of frustration in his eyes. No, it wouldn't work with the kiln. If he didn't seal off the kiln, the temperature inside wouldn't rise high enough. But, if it's seal off, then there's not enough oxygen to keep the fire burning inside the kiln.
With a troublesome look on his face, he walked out the kiln.
"Zhong Shan." The moment he came out, he heard a shout came from the front of his yard.
Zhong Shan looked over and saw Nanbatian standing not too far away in black clothes and holding a big glaive. There's a circle of about one meter diameter under Nanbatian's feet. At the moment, he was staring at Zhong Shan.
"Jiu shixiong?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"With your full strength, attack. I'll just use 20% of my power. You win if you can push me out of this circle." Nanbatian suddenly said with confidence.
Zhong Shan wasn't sure what exactly Nanbatian's intentions were. But he could tell that Nanbatian didn't mean any harm. Besides, Zhong Shan also wanted to see what kind of progress he had made from his training. He, therefore, shouted right away, "alright."
After saying that, Zhong Shan took up the machete next to the kiln and slashed towards Nanbatian.
When he got closer, Zhong Shan jumped up holding the machete upright.
Mountain Splitter!
The machete cut towards Nanbatian.
Nanbatian also used his glaive to meet the machete head on.
"Bang ~ ~ ~"
The force from the collision forced Zhong Shan to back away a little bit, but Nanbatian was still standing in the original spot. Zhong Shan didn't stop and the machete slashed across again.
Annihilating Slash!
"Good ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Nanbatian shouted and once again his glaive met the machete.
"Bang ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Zhong Shan flew out. He steadied himself mid-air and put himself down. He looked again at Nanbatian, sure enough Nanbatian was very strong. 20% of the power? Was he really just using only 20%?
Noticing that Nanbatian's feet were still inside the circle, Zhong Shan all of a sudden became even more combative.
He braced himself and continued slashing towards Nanbatian.
Zhong Shan's strikes became faster and more relentless. He stood outside of the circle mercilessly hacking at Nanbatian, while Nanbatian stayed inside the circle and quickly moved his glaive in tight movements to defend against Zhong Shan. As Zhong Shan's attacks grew more and more forceful, Nanbatian began to knit his brows more and more.
In a corner not far from them, Tianling-er stood there watching with a slight frown. She bit her lips, clenched her fists, and tried to keep herself calm.
"Bang~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
After two hours, Zhong Shan was drenched in sweat. But Nanbatian was simply too strong even with only 20% of his power.
Zhong Shan became even more relentless; if he couldn't force the 20% Nanbatian out of the circle today, how could he fight with Prince Lietian in the future?
Zhong Shan made his resolution and rushed towards Nanbetian again.
Nanbatian looked at Zhong Shan with amazement. He could tell from Zhong Shan's power that he was at the first level of Xiantian, but his determination and momentum was stronger than his power. Fortunately, Zhong Shan's strength was much weaker than his. In Nanbatian's mind, there's only one word to describe Zhong Shan, fierce. He's a fierce man. He was the fiercest man among his peers.
Demonic Body Toning Method!
Mountain Splitter!
Zhong Shan's muscle suddenly bulged up. He suddenly used Demonic Body Toning Method and viciously slashed Mountain Splitter at Nanbatian.
"Bang ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Nanbatian staggered. What had happened? How could Zhong Shan's strength suddenly increase?
"Bang ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Zhong Shan was unforgiving, madly attacking Nanbatian without mercy.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
After a short while, Zhong Shan's last Mountain Splitter finally forced Nanbatian to step out of the circle."
"Hu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ hu~ ~ ~ ~ ~ hu~ ~ ~ ~ hu ~ ~ ~ ~"
Nanbatian was out of the circle. Zhong Shan was out of breath. Obviously, the challenge was over. The hand holding the machete was shaking. Nanbatian was too strong, but he finally forced him out of the circle.
Nanbatian, now out of the circle, was also astounded. Was this really a man who was only at the first level of Xiantian? He was too vicious.
"Thank you, Jiu shixiong." Zhong Shan immediately said.
Zhong Shan felt that he had learned a lot from this battle. Nanbatian seemed to come here just to be his sparring partner. Therefore, he had to be grateful to Nanbatian.
"It's alright. Zhong Shan, you're a fierce man." Nanbatian only had this comment. But this comment expressed what Nanbatian thought about Zhong Shan.
Tianling-er was also amazed to see Zhong Shan force Nanbatian out. Originally, she had planned for Nanbatian to pretend to step out of the circle. But, it looked like Zhong Shan had done so with his own power. Didn't father say that Zhong Shan didn't have the innate talent and wouldn't be able to do practice well?
"Haha, shixiong is very powerful." Zhong Shan laughed.
"You don't need to call me shixiong. At Kaiyang School, the ranking of disciples is always changing after all. You can call me Nanbatian, or even Batian." Nanbatian heartily laughed.
"Alright. May I know what brings you here today?" Zhong Shan earnestly asked.
He knew Nanbatian couldn't have just come here to be his sparring partner; it couldn't be this simple.
"As a matter of fact, I was forced to come here." Nanbatian shook his head and laughed.
"Forced?" Zhong Shan found the reply odd.
"Yeah, I'm here to apologize for someone." Nanbatian answered.
"Apologize?" Zhong Shan was even more confused.
"Didn't the daughter of our headmaster, Tianling-er, break one of your wooden statues not too long ago? She felt sorry about it but is too ashamed to come to apologize. So I'm here to apologize for her." Nanbatian said.
After Nanbatian finished, Tianling-er clenched her fists again and carefully watched Zhong Shan's reaction.
"Tianling-er? Oh, I don't blame her at all. It is I who owe her an apology." Zhong Shan shook his head. He was the one who lied to her in the first place.
"Oh, really? If that's the case, it would be great. Tianling-er is going to be here soon, you can tell her yourself." Nanbatian said.
Hearing that, Zhong Shan looked around and knew in his mind that Tianling-er must be nearby.
As he had expected, Tianling-er flew in again on her red silk.
"Zhong Shan, I'm really sorry that I broke your wooden statue that day." Tianling-er sorrowfully said.
Zhong Shan couldn't be angry with her, she was young enough to his granddaughter, after seeing the pathetic look on her face. Besides, he didn't really blame her.
"It's nothing. I was wrong that day too. You two have a seat. I'll go get something, as a token of my apology." Zhong Shan went into his yard after saying so.
Zhong Shan came out shortly with something in his hand and brought it in front of Tianling-er.
"Come, this is for you, as a token of my apology for lying and offending you." Zhong Shan said.
In Zhong Shan's hand, it was also a small wooden statue. The image, however, was Tianling-er.
Tianling-er liked it the moment she saw it and took it right away.
"You carved it?" Nanbatian asked.
"No, I used this machete to chop it out when I'm bored with practicing my machete forms." Zhong Shan replied.
Looking at the delicate wooden statue, then looking at the machete in Zhong Shan's hand, Nanbatian could only say, "You're fierce, you truly are fierce."
Tianling-er in the meantime was caressing her own statue without pause.

Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, You bestowed upon Your servant Nicholas of Myra the perpetual gift of charity. Grant Your Church the grace to deal in generosity and love with children and with all who are poor and distressed and to plead the cause of those who have no helper, especially those tossed by tempests of doubt or grief. We ask this for the sake of Him who gave His life for us, Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
About St. Nicholas: Of the many saints commemorated by the Christian Church, Nicholas (d. AD 342) is one of the best known. Very little is known historically of him, though there was a church of Saint Nicholas in Constantinople as early as the sixth century. Research has affirmed that there was a bishop by the name of Nicholas in the city of Myra in Lycia (part of modern Turkey) in the fourth century. From that coastal location, legends about Nicholas have traveled throughout time and space. He is associated with charitable giving in many countries around the world and is portrayed as the rescuer of sailors, the protector of children, and the friend of people in distress or need. In commemoration of Sinte Klaas (Dutch for "Saint Nicholas,"in English "Santa Claus"), December 6 is a day for giving and receiving gifts in many parts of Europe.(from The Treasury of Daily Prayer, CPH)
The quote below is from an article by Lutheran lay theologian, Dr. Veith in World Magazine which cites a reliable tradition regarding the real Nicholas.
Known for his generosity and his love of children, Nicholas is said to have saved a poor family's daughters from slavery by tossing into their window enough gold for a rich dowry, a present that landed in some shoes or, in some accounts, stockings that were hung up to dry. Thus arose the custom of hanging up stockings for St. Nicholas to fill. And somehow he transmogrified into Santa Claus, who has become for many people the secular Christmas alternative to Jesus Christ.
But there is more to the story of Nicholas of Myra. He was also a delegate to the Council of Nicea in a.d. 325, which battled the heretics who denied the deity ofChrist. He was thus one of the authors of the Nicene Creed, which affirms that Jesus Christ is both true God and true man. And unlike his later manifestation, Nicholas was particularly zealous in standing up for Christ.
During the Council of Nicea, jolly old St. Nicholas got so fed up with Arius, who taught that Jesus was just a man, that he walked up and slapped him! That unbishoplike behavior got him in trouble. The council almost stripped him of his office, but Nicholas said he was sorry, so he was forgiven.
The point is, the original Santa Claus was someone who flew off the handle when he heard someone minimizing Christ. Perhaps we can battle our culture's increasingly Christ-less Christmas by enlisting Santa in his original cause. The poor girls' stockings have become part of our Christmas imagery. So should the St. Nicholas slap.
Not a violent hit of the kind that got the good bishop in trouble, just a gentle, admonitory tap on the cheek. This should be reserved not for out-and-out nonbelievers, but for heretics (that is, people in the church who deny its teachings), Christians who forget about Jesus, and people who try to take Christ out of Christmas. Source: WORLD Magazine December 24, 2005, Vol. 20, No. 50
Further reflection: Nicholas is called "good St. Nick"! He was not exactly good and that's the point. He knew he was not good on his own steam. He slapped Arius for his false doctrine that there was a time when Christ was not. Nicholas knew the Scripture, "The good that I want to do I don't do but I do the very thing I hate…" (Romans 7: 7-25). His goodness and love were purified by Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit through the gift of faith by His grace. Nicholas was good in Christ, but not nice. We encourage children to "be nice". It used to be "be good". If a young woman was "good", it meant, for instance, she was a virgin. As a friend and colleague had as his screen saver, "Nice is the enemy of the good". Even Woody Allen got some things right: "Have a nice day" "No, thanks I have better plans". So does the Lord. Nice is attainable as a kind of a law of nice deeds and feelings. Nice Christians won't stand up to false doctrine. Nice Christians go along with the crowd, that is, the world and we have seen the result in many a Christian denomination. Good is related to God, as God is good, which also means He is Holy. Nicholas knew that his goodness was predicated on the utter goodness of God in Christ in His Nativity for children, the fallen children of Adam and Eve. It also meant that Nicholas stood for something. The martyrs died for the good of the Gospel, no one was ever martyred for being nice.
So if a heretic tries to take Christ out of Christmas, literally Christ Mass, there is no Mass, no Holy Communion, no communion of saints and no salvation. If a heretic denies the Law of God and it's eternal validity on every soul, then we are soul-less and there is no need for the Savior…but obviously there is and He became flesh, frail flesh. It's not only about a "happy Christmas" but more and more a "slappy Christmas": we need to wake up as we see His Day approaching. It used to be in the Roman Catholic Rite of Confirmation the bishop would administer a light slap on the cheek of the confirmand to remind him that he is a soldier of Christ to spread the faith. I guess that people found the slap was offensive…but so is Christ Jesus to the devil and his angels. I think the confirmand slap means a wake-up call. Maybe it is Christians who need the slap more than heretics these days! The Church has a backbone, pure doctrine, so that with a strong back we can bend and serve our dying neighbors Jesus Christ. Nicholas knew that. It's about the true doctrine of The Nicene Creed.
The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only‐begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men * and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one holy Christian# and apostolic Church I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
*Us men means all people.
#Christian: the ancient text reads "catholic," meaning the whole Church as it confesses the wholeness of Christian doctrine

Beautiful Drone Photographs
I'm just back from another aerial photo shoot using my drone at a construction site here in the Denver area. Today I spent a little time making visually interesting photographs that I and (hopefully) other photographer / artist folks will enjoy. First, of course, I captured the photographs the client needed, then time to be creative.
Amazing Drone Photographs
I have been commissioned to fly a few drone sessions at large construction sites here in Colorado recently. My client wanted mostly HD video, but also a few photographs, too. Below are two of the photographs that jumped out at me – what an amazing perspective the drone can offer!

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5
Every time I read James 1:5 I think it seemed as if humans enjoyed acting foolishly. And James 1:5 says very clearly: If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. A request for wisdom that we make to God will always be granted. And James 1:5 says, that it will be given abundantly and without reproach. Then, if we lack wisdom and remain without it, it is because we do not ask God.
The best demonstration of God's faithfulness to His Word as expressed in James 1:5 is the story of Solomon. Let's look at what the Bible says in 1 Kings 3:5-14: At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask! What shall I give you?" And Solomon said: "You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"
The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."
Solomon asked God for wisdom so that he could carry out his work of governing his people with excellence. And God gave King Solomon wisdom abundantly and without reproach. It was obvious that, before raising his request to God, Solomon was like any young man of his age, inexperienced and lacking sufficient wisdom to perform his duties. However, God endowed him with a wise and understanding heart, so much so that there was no one wiser than the king who succeeded David.
Many times we err in our petitions to God. Many of us are left with the simplest: to ask for our material needs to be abundantly covered. But what is the use of acquiring wealth if we do not have enough intelligence to manage it? A wise person will not only know how to efficiently manage wealth, but also be able to come up with creative ideas that will generate more wealth. However, wisdom not only serves to make us rich, but to judge with intelligence every situation. God bless you.

Board names interim provost
June 14, 2003
The University of Northern Colorado Board of Trustees named Allen Huang interim provost Friday.
Huang is the associate vice president for research and graduate studies and the dean of the graduate school and international admissions at UNC.
He started at UNC more than 25 years ago as an associate professor. More recently he has worked to increase research grants in the graduate school.
Huang will serve as provost while UNC conducts a national search for former provost Marlene Strathe's position.
Strathe is leaving to become provost of Oklahoma State University.
"I am very thankful and very grateful that I had Marlene as a mentor for five years to help me and prepare me for the journey," Huang said. "I strongly believe in the talent and wisdom we have on campus, and if we work collaboratively we can promote the university to a position of excellence."

The majority of people marry with the hope and expectation that it will be a mutually rewarding relationship that will last forever. So, it is not surprising that divorce can be a painful experience for almost everyone. Some individuals are better equipped to handle the stresses, challenges and new opportunities of divorce than others. However, as recent medical studies are uncovering, the health of some individuals suffers both physically and emotionally during the process as well as long term.
Research shows that divorce immediately increases psychological distress and has a long-term negative effect on the physical health of divorced people. When compared with adults in a stable marriage, on average divorced adults have poorer physical and mental health. Some common physical and mental health problems include a general lack of happiness, depression stemming from psychological stress and poor self-esteem, as well as some serious health concerns.
A 2009 study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior found that the experience of divorce can severely damage health, with the effects still evident years later. Specifically, people who have gone through divorce are 20% more likely to suffer from heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or another chronic condition. They are also 23% more likely to suffer from mobility issues later in life such as difficulty climbing stairs or walking short distances. A researcher from the University of Texas at Austin adds that the "long-term stress before, during and after a divorce may accelerate the biological processes" that lead to the more serious health concerns.
It is important to remember to find ways to reduce stress and keep in mind that divorce should function as the path to a less stressful and happier life. When going through divorce it is important to put yourself first and remember to eat well, exercise and simply do the small things that make you happy! The most successful divorced individuals are those who embrace the impending changes that divorce brings. They focus on the positive, move through the negative things by getting support and guidance, and learn how to deal with things in the past that they cannot change. By concentrating on the present and looking toward the future you can begin to focus on the things that you need to make your transition better and smoother.
Along with focusing on the positive, having a positive attitude and focusing on what you are grateful for can help to reduce stress and the risk of depression. It is easy to be preoccupied with the immediate stresses of life following divorce. Just getting through today's problems is overwhelming, so it is hard to look at the big picture and embrace long-term change. Set realistic goals for yourself and congratulate yourself no matter how small the achievement. By consistently telling yourself that you can do it, you are in essence willing yourself to do it! Small successes will start to move you forward!
Remember to forgive yourself and accept the past and any mistakes that you made. No one is perfect, so don't stress yourself out by revisiting your mistakes over and over. Analyze them and make mental notes about what was wrong and how to change it. Recognizing, owning and learning from our mistakes helps us to grow and move forward through divorce, rather than get weighed down and stressed out by the "could haves".
Socialize and maintain current friendships while making the effort to develop new ones. Surrounding yourself with people who make you feel good, make you laugh, and applaud your achievements can keep you in that positive frame of mind that is so valuable during and after divorce. Friends can also help to provide you with the support you need during difficult times. Whether by diverting your attention away from the stress or being there to help you get back up when you feel knocked down, interacting with friends and family can help you stay positive.
Although the medical studies are out there – do your best not to become another statistic. No one ever said that moving forward through divorce would be easy. Strive to keep yourself and your best interests at the forefront of every decision that you make. Stay positive, surround yourself with uplifting people, accept the things that you cannot change and learn from past mistakes. Making these conscious decisions will aid in your transition and help to reduce your chances of ending up a statistic.

Coe Textiles started with a love affair for finely crafted clothing. From a young age, Amanda Coe found beauty in pieces handed down to her by her grandmother. A camel colored coat made from felted cashmere and a detachable mink collar was among her favorites. Every inch of the coat was mesmerizing from the hand stitched satin silk lining to the kimono cut sleeves popular in the 1950's. With an International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union tag on the inside, the coat told a story of a once thriving domestic industry.
The fine materials and attention to detail in her grandmother's coat set the standard as Amanda pursued a degree in textiles with a focus in apparel from the Rhode Island School of Design. After spending summers interning in New York, she was dissatisfied with the nature of global mass production and the fashion industry's detachment from makers.
Amanda was looking for the next frontier in manufacturing. With a firm belief that craftsmanship should inform design, she bought herself a one-way ticket to India and enrolled in an artist residency hoping to learn more about textiles in a country where handcraft traditions still thrived.
What was expected to be a summer long trip turned into three years spent in the country and the founding of a company. Amanda immersed herself in the place, learning bits of Hindi and traveling by train to seek out experienced dyers, block printers, hand weavers, and silk cultivators. She settled for two and a half years in the craft rich northern city of Jaipur where she established her own clothing line while working for an embroidery designer. Coe Textiles' exclusive fabrics are made by master craftsmen who have perfected their trade over generations. Amanda adds her own playful touch through illustrations which are hand carved into wood blocks for printing. Others fabrics are the work of handloom weavers who cultivate eri silk in the northeastern state of Assam. The clothing is meticulously stitched in a small, family run tailoring unit in Jaipur. Each piece is a testament to the beauty of the human hand in an age of mass production.
Sustainability Initiative
One of the driving forces behind Coe Textiles is a desire to create fashion with low environmental and human impact. In the age of globalization, traditional craftsmen face an uphill battle against the rise of mass produced goods. Their skill sets, honed over centuries, are becoming increasingly rare. We believe that the human hand is essential in creating unique, one of a kind pieces as well as providing dignified employment. Natural dyes are used whenever possible and low impact, azo-free dyes when not. We work closely with family run block print workshops, handloom weavers and our small tailoring unit to produce high quality, sweat shop free clothing.

Thrift Shop
Created in 1991 by volunteers to assist in raising funds to help care for the terminally ill, the Hospice of Yuma Thrift Shop has played a major role in assisting Hospice of Yuma to fulfill its mission. When the Thrift Shop first opened, it was run out of a storage room in the main Hospice of Yuma office building. The total revenue for its first year of operations was approximately $14,000.00. As the years passed and thrift shop operations grew, it was given its own space with an extra room to display donated furniture. Its growth over the past two decades is due to hundreds of dedicated Thrift Shop volunteers who put many hours of work into making it successful. Besides the contributions of the volunteers, generous donors from the community have donated used items including clothing and furniture to be resold to the public. The Hospice of Yuma Thrift Shop now provides hundreds of thousands of dollars of support for our charitable care program. The net proceeds generated by the thrift shop are used specifically for this purpose. Its continued success is a testament to our wonderful volunteers and the generosity of the community we call home.

How We Met: Third Time's a Charm
A good friend's patience allows Ira Joe Fisher to find the love of his life
Ira Joe Fisher considers himself a lucky guy. While working as a disc jokey in Spokane, Washington, after a stint in the military, he became good friends with a play-by-play sports announcer named Dick Wright. Wright, who was fond of showing off photos of his eight "cute little kids," invited Ira Joe home to meet the family.
When Ira Joe forgot to show up for the large Sunday dinner, his patient friend invited him again. And once again, Ira Joe forgot. "Dick thought it was funny. Dorothy, his wife, was not as amused," says Ira Joe.
Shelly, the oldest of the eight children, thought it odd that her dad's friend stood them up. She thought it even more odd the second time, especially because her mom had set the table with the fancy china.
And this is where Ira Joe says he got lucky. After profusely apologizing, he actually received a third invitation. This time he arrived for Sunday dinner with flowers and more apologies. And it was then that he got the big surprise—the "cute little kids" weren't all that little anymore. "Shelly was considerably more grown up than the outdated photo in her father's wallet," remarks Ira Joe. "I thought she was the prettiest girl in the world."
The couple's next meet up was a thinly veiled fix-up by Shelly's dad. He invited Ira Joe and Shelly for coffee and then made excuses leaving the two to themselves. "Ira talked the whole time," says Shelly, who liked Ira Joe's humor, kindness, and love of learning.
Ira Joe was struck by what a good listener Shelly was. Being a "prolific talker" that seemed like "destiny." He was also attracted to the way her eyes crinkle when she laughed. But it was her faith in him and her thoughtful wisdom that sealed the deal.
As the couple began dating, the Wrights took Ira Joe into their "funny, welcoming, entertaining family" and he fell in love with them all. Which was a good thing because the close-knit family did everything together and the couple felt like they were always on a group date. It was sweet shy Shelly who finally put her foot down and demanded time alone with Ira.
The whirlwind romance ended at the altar after only six months because as Ira Joe says, "I knew right away." All of Shelly's siblings were in the large beautiful wedding, which was covered by the local TV station.
As Ira Joe's career took off, and the couple made their way East where he became a popular feature and weather reporter for television. His was a familiar face on WNBC, WCBS, and CBS's "The Early Show." By then they were a family of six. On their first drive by the fountain and the hot-dog man, the entire family fell in love with Ridgefield, which Ira Joe calls "the place for waves and hellos." Currently, Ira Joe teaches poetry and creative writing at Mercy College and UConn. He also teaches a TV performing class, communication strategies, and public speaking. He is the author of several books; the most recent a collection of essays entitled Wide and Wavy Out of Salamanca. Shelly put her listening skills and wisdom to good use. After raising their family, she became a substance-abuse counselor.
"He still makes me laugh after 46 years of marriage," says Shelly.

A Fountain in the Armenians
Dreamed early July 2006, by Pauline Ramsey
My friend Matthieu and I once had a conversation about how many proverbs and sayings we could find in English and French that match up. For example, the French have parallels to "one swallow doesn't make a summer" and "too many cooks spoil the broth."
I found myself in Matthieu's sitting room on a summer afternoon. We were still discovering shared proverbs, quoting to and fro. Not all the adages were familiar, though. I think it was me who said "A fountain in the Armenians", though it might have been someone else in the room. Soon after, the dream ended.
The next couple of days, the phrase kept popping into my head. I liked it. It was lyrical, whimsical, romantic. At last, I typed it into Google to see if it went anywhere.
It did. And it's far from romantic.
There is a fountain--a memorial to the 1915 Armenian genocide. There's masses about it on the web (see www.armeniangenocide.org/memorial). It's a forgotten genocide, an attempt at ethnic cleansing that no one talks about.
But why did that phrase come to me in a dream? There'd been nothing on television about it. I'd never heard of it. I'd scarcely heard of Armenia. How did it find a place in my head? For a few minutes, did my brain become like a radio receiver? How? And why?
What am I supposed to do with it?
Just what you did, maybe. Uncover the truth--the atrocity that created the very word "genocide" (it was coined to describe this massacre). And then post it on the Web. After all, it says something, not just to dreamers, but to the modern Turks--in or out of government--still trying to cover up a million bodies with propaganda. It says you can't. Deny it, censor it, but it's still true. And people dream true.

One factor that is accepted by the British Dental Association (BDA), the American Dental Association, the Department of Health, the Medicines and Healthcare Agency and others…is that mercury based fillings (called "amalgam" fillings) are safe to patients.
This is based on the available evidence from various studies which are summarised here.
There are plenty of reasons to have a different type of filling to amalgam. But safety concerns need not be one of them. Amalgam fillings will not put you at harm (apart from a few exceptions…see later).
Isn't mercury supposed to be toxic?
Pure mercury is for sure…as in the weird metallic droplets that you may have rolled across the desk in science lessons if you are of a certain age.
But when it is chemically combined with other metals (such as silver, copper or zinc) it is safe.
Why do dentists use it so much?
It works so well for many (but not all) clinical situations and has been used for 150 years. It's quick and easy to place for both dentist and patient to place, it's durable and it is cost-effective. And safe.
Is it safe to replace my metal fillings with white ones?
If you think that one of your metal fillings looks unsightly, there may be other options for you e.g. white fillings, porcelain inlays, crowns…you dentist will happy to chat through the pros and cons of each.
Your dentist may also notice something wrong with metal filling that you are not aware of…maybe at your routine six-month checkup. The filling could be leaking, it could be cracked, the tooth may be broken down or the tooth may have an abscess on it. In which case, it may be an opportunity to place a different type of filling or a crown.
According to the British Dental Association, there is no clinical justification for the replacement of perfectly sound amalgam fillings on the grounds of "amalgam toxicity". The scientific evidence strongly suggests that amalgam is perfectly safe.
Having said that…
What if I am pregnant?
If you are pregnant, it is advised that you avoid placement or replacement of amalgam fillings UNLESS you have a dental emergency e.g. you are in dental pain, in which case it may still be best to go ahead with the filling.
Although this sounds at odds with the "amalgam is safe" line, the reason is that the research we have is not as good as it should be so be certain…so in which case, better be safe than sure.
So make sure you tell your dentist if you think you may be pregnant as it may be decided to delay placing your filling until you have had your baby.
Allergies to amalgam
This is very rare but may be a reason to have amalgam fillings replaced. However it is better to have an opinion a dermatologist to confirm allergy to mercury before proceeding.

I really don't get along with my uncle. He's a staunch tea party advocate, and constantly trolls my facebook. Case in point, I posted a "#blacklivesmatter" post a while back and his response was something to the effect of "Maybe don't resist arrest." Basically, he's a professional jerk.
So anyways, I get a personal message from him through Facebook over the weekend regarding my job which he is just now hearing about (even though I've been doing this job for 3 years) and it is vaguely related to what he does. I've included the conversation below with changes to the job that indicate how well related it is what I'm talking about and what he's talking about.
- Uncle: Family matriarch told me you are doing farming? Animal farming? If so, welcome to professional farming...
- Me: I'm the fruit and vegetable farming manager for a mid-sized farm. I've worked there for 3 years. But I don't really work with animals and such, we have an animal farmer that handles all that stuff.
- Uncle: But you have to deal with PFL?
- Me: No clue what you're talking about here.
- Uncle: Pig Feed Law (PFL) is a law for everything to do with Pig Feed under AFL and FL50, for audits and such.
- Me: Yeah... I don't do anything with any of that.
- Uncle: What do you do? Farm watering? or Farm management?
- Me: I work in farm management, but I don't do anything with animal farming, we have an animal farmer for whom it is his job to know the animal farming laws. I only handle fruit and vegetable farming and just work with our animal farming specialists on their part if there is something I need to know.
- Uncle: But in farm management meetings don't you have to talk to the other farm managers and know about animal farming? There is a lot to animal farming that you don't seem to know. Animal farming is FUN!
- Me: We don't handle any detailed discussions of animal farming in our fruit and vegetable farming meetings. My only concern with animal farming is ensuring that when their job overlaps with mine that they certify that it's done correctly. We do farm management meetings, and we may mention animal farming in a general sense, but we never get into the nitty gritty of it. So I can speak generically about some aspects of animal farming, but I really attempt to keep myself out of that arena and specialize in fruit and vegetable farming. I know where to look up animal farming information if it is important for my work in fruit and vegetable farming, but if not it is just handled by our animal farmers.
- Uncle: You should learn it all and understand all the animal farming aspects. Makes you more valuable to the farm and in the future. Just some free advice! See ya.
It makes me really angry. I do actually know my own job, and I know what will make me a valuable employee to both my company and in the future should I decide to leave. Learning something that isn't my job isn't going to help me, even if that's what you do. There's no reason for me to learn it, it doesn't add to what I currently do. Maybe trust when I say I don't need to know it that I don't fucking need to know it! The free advice is worth even less than what I paid for it.
ETA: From a comment thread with doubletroublepox I realized that I didn't exactly say what my uncle's job is, so here is my comment back: "In terms of this example, it's essentially like he's the weekday chicken feeder and I'm the mother fucking fruit and vegetable BOSS lady."

G Worldwide Launches Brand in South Florida
New York-based G Worldwide plans to break ground on a 700,000 square-foot resort at an estimated cost of $80 million in Wilton Manors. The luxury resort, scheduled for completion in 2011, will bring over 500 new jobs to the area and is the first in a series of projects for the company catering to the LGBT community.
David Holzapfel, COO of G Worldwide, is enthusiastic about the project. "The reason we chose Wilton Manors for our first project is because we felt that South Florida is a wonderful location." Holzapfel likes the community of Wilton Manors, stating that the company has already garnered a great deal of support for the project.
The resort will feature numerous lavish amenities. "We will have a fitness center, spa, nightclub, and a variety of dining options, all on property," Holzapfel says. In addition, the resort also plans to offer a rooftop lounge and garden, as well as an art gallery and banquet center.
The property, located at 1224 NE 24th Street, will only be a short walk from the Wilton Drive entertainment district, offering visitors an array of shopping and nightlife options.
G Resort Wilton Manors also plans on attracting 25 major events to the resort, including conferences that will ultimately generate revenue for local businesses.
In addition, G Resort will feature a timeshare component, allowing visitors to purchase units in the building. "Timeshare brings a lot of value to the property, especially from the developer's point of view," states Holzapfel. "That component of the resort will only be about 20 percent of inventory, but will provide us with a steady stream of customers."
The 172-unit, all-suite resort will feature four unique floor-plans. Most notable are the three-story, 3,000 square-foot penthouse suites, which promise to offer visitors superior luxury amenities.
The Wilton Manors property will surely impact local business. Reece Darham, managing director of Island City Health & Fitness, is excited about the project. "I believe it will be a fantastic opportunity for all LGBT businesses. This luxury hotel will bring a level of tourism that otherwise may not have come to Wilton Manors."
Lori Deak, vice president of the Pride Factory, has mixed feelings on the project. "I think anything that benefits the LGBT community is wonderful, although I'm not really sure, in an area with such an amazing beachfront, whether it truly makes sense to put a resort in the middle of the city."
Both Darham and Deak welcome the economic impact the resort will have. "The revenue brought into the surrounding businesses will be a welcome relief in this economy," Darham says. He is most eager to see the increased level of job creation in the community.
Not everyone is optimistic about the project. Terry Hochmuth, owner of Villa Venice guesthouse on Fort Lauderdale beach, has a contrarian view. He doesn't think the current economic landscape will be able to support such a large project. "First off, with the economic climate as it is now, I would find it doubtful that any entity would even venture to commence on a project of this scope," he says.
Although Hochmuth's guests prefer staying at smaller entities, he say that larger chains are trying to venture into the LGBT market. "Other hotels, such as the W in Fort Lauderdale, are going after the gay dollar." The results have already effected a few businesses. "During the past couple of months, at least one gay guesthouse has been closed and another one has been purchased by straight interests," he says.
Roger Handevidt, owner of Orton Terrace and chairman of the Rainbow Alliance, agrees with Hochmuth, but believes the news is positive for the region. "Fort Lauderdale will see an increase in LGBT travel. Hotels as large as G will be spending a lot of money promoting their property and the area in as a whole," he says.
G Worldwide also plans to bring its brand to other markets in the future, including New York, Palm Springs, Las Vegas and San Francisco.
The company claims to be the first-ever LGBT luxury-lifestyle resort and brand with a goal of amassing a collection of hotels, resorts, and vacation clubs specifically designed to fulfill the needs and desires of the LGBT traveler.

The topic I chose to write on today is about The Anti-Cancer Diet.
Its all about using food to prevent & cure Cancer.
What To Eat: Foods that prevent cancer:
1) Garlic and onions–
keeps cancer cells in your body from working or multiplying.
2) Turmeric (Haldi) –
known to shrink existing cancerous tumors.
Contains an ingredient called curcumin that can inhibit some kinds of cancer cells.
3) Fibrous Foods –
Whole And brown Grains: whole-grain or brown bread and rice, barley, oatmeal, popcorn.
Fruits and vegetables – like raddish, carrots, pears and bananas.
Pulses and Legumes – kidney beans (Rajma), Chick peas (Chana), split pulses (dals).
4) Antioxidants:
Restricts cancer from growing or spreading.
Example – green tea, grapes, red wine, Citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, apples, plums, cherries, broccoli.
5) Others – Capsicum and bell peppers, cabbage and spinach.
What To Avoid: Foods that are carcinogenic or are known to cause cancer.
Processed Meat – cold cuts like salami, ham, pepperoni, bacon and sausages.
Processed Meats are preserved by smoking, curing, or salting and contain chemical preservatives, which increases the risk of colon, pancreatic and stomach cancer.
Red Meat – lamb, mutton, beef, cold cuts.
Processed Foods – Canned Tomatoes, soups, tin fish, canned corn, pickles and basically all canned foods, as they contain high amounts of sodium.
Soda and other Aerated drinks – Excess consumption leads to pancreatic cancer.
French fries & potato chips – High temperatures used to cook them typically cause the formation of carcinogenic substances.
Sugar and Carbohydrates – Cancer cells use sugar more efficiently to feed itself , and in greater quantities, than healthy cells. You may want to limit or at least moderate your intake to reduce your cancer risk.
Baked foods
Ready to eat or heat n eat foods.
Excess alcohol
If you know of any other such foods, do let me know your experince in the comments section.
