I watched an old Wayne and Shuster skit - The Burning of Rome - from the 1970's. The following four gags from that.
Two Romans are in a taberna. The first says to the waitress, "I'll have a pizzum." The second says, "I'll have a pizzum as well." The waitress calls to the cook, "That's two pizza!". Then the first Roman (Johnny Wayne) turns to the camera and says, "That didn't get a big laugh here, but it went over big in the high schools".
The Burning of Rome, from the epic poem by Vergil, Fidicen in Tecto Fervido (Fiddler on the Hot Roof).
Looking at an attractive girl, a Roman says, "As Catullus said 'Aedificata similis Colosseo latericio' - she was built like a brick amphitheatre"
And finally as a lead-in to a commercial break, "Ars longa, ad infinitum" (Art is long, commercials are forever).
A Roman walks into a taberna and asks the caupo (inn-keeper) for a martinus. The inn-keeper says, "Don't you mean a martini?" The Roman says, "If I want a double, I'll order one!" (thanks to Wayne & Shuster)
The same Roman decides to have a beer instead. He gives in his order and holds up two fingers. The inn-keeper brings him 5 . . . think about it.
Two Cyclopes are eating their dinner. One picks a staff up out of his dish and says, "Hey! there's a crook in my shepherd's pie!"
Okay, for pure Latin: Te salutare volo. Itaque tibi mitto navem sine prora et puppe. The answer is "Ave". If you remove the prow (first letter) and stern (last letter) from the word navem, you are left with "ave", the Latin word for 'Hello'. The neat part is that, if you translate the joke into English IT STILL WORKS!!. "I want to greet you. So I am sending you a ship with prow or stern." If you remove the front and back from "ship" you're left with "Hi".
One of the principle uses of the Latin language today is in medical terminology. Virtually all medical terminology comes from ancient Latin or ancient Greek. I'd like to help all of you out there, who need to look up a single word or wish to have access to the whole range of medical terms. We also have a link here to a great site for those of you who would like to learn how the various parts of a medical term are created.
Medical terminology is basically a game of building blocks. You take a root (or two) and add prefixes and suffixes and put them together to create a new word. Latin and Greek are great langauges for building words because the various parts go together so well. For example:
ortho (straight) + dont (teeth) + ic (pertaining to) = orthodontic (pertaining to the straightening of teeth, or simply teeth straightening; -ic really just makes the word an adjective).
Here is the link to a great website that will teach you some of the basics about Medical Terminology and give you the chance to practice some of the things they teach you.
There is also available on-line a massive medical dictionary which you can access right here.
Of course, pretty much all medical terminology derives from Latin and Greek (especially Greek), but some terms have very interesting and unexpected etymologies.
THALAMO- a thalamos in ancient Greece was a room in a house, in particular, a room that did not have an outside door. So it was an inside room that had to be accessed through various hall-ways. The image of this room leapt to mind when an interior part of the brain was to be named - the thalamus.
SPHINCTO- Much less predictable is the source of the word sphincter, a circular muscle which constricts to maintain a barrier. This muscle is named for the inscrutable Sphinx of Egyptian and ancient Greek lore. I just had to find out about that connection! Well, it turns out that the Sphinx, that tormented Thebes and tested Oedipus, killed itself when Oedipus solved her riddle to him. And her method of suicide was to strangle herself.
GALACTO- Here is another term that has a connection with Greek mythology. Galacto- is milk and our galaxy is the Milky Way. But how did the Milky Way get its name? When Heracles was a little nipper, he was nursed by Hera. Of course, Heracles was powerful, even as an infant, even when just nursing. His suction was so great that when he detached (in some versions, Hera found nursing the little tyke so painful, she yanked him off her breast), there was a spray of milk that spread across the sky and created the Milky Way. Thank goodness the spray wasn't caused later when they changed his diaper!!

A large [[Provings|Proving]] is being held today and the best from the [[Caste|Warrior Caste]] will compete to win glory and perhaps a place within the [[Grey Warden]] ranks. However, [[Beraht]] will obviously try to make some profit out of it. == Walkthrough == {{SpoilerDAO|style=short| Once [[Beraht's Favor]] is concluded, Beraht will give you a new task. If Beraht knows that the Dwarf Commoner didn't kill [[Oskias]] or knows that the latter tried to scam him, he'll also mention that this is the last chance for the Dwarf Commoner. Beraht will then say that he has put a lot of money on the young fighter [[Everd Bera|Everd]] defeating [[Mainar]] in the Proving. However Mainar is an accomplished veteran so Everd has little chances of beating Mainar. For that reason he wants the Dwarf Commoner and [[Leske]] to enter the [[Orzammar Proving|Proving Grounds]] and slip a drug on Mainar's water basin which if Mainar drinks it, will make him less effective on the field and give an advantage on Everd. He will also repeat his threat to the Dwarf Commoner that he has put a lot of money on this and their life is hanging on the outcome of this task. Once he finishes, he gives the Dwarf Commoner the [[Drug]] which will be used on Mainar and also the [[Proving Pass]]; with this, the Proving Grounds are now available to be accessed. Touching the stone carving facing the Grounds' entrance will yield [[Codex entry: Dwarven Faith]]. Among spectators is [[Duncan]], with whom [[Leske]] will dare you to converse. Speaking with Duncan yields [[Codex entry: Duncan]], [[Codex entry: The Grey Wardens]], [[Codex entry: Darkspawn]], and [[Codex entry: The Blights]]. Everd's quarters are located in the only accessible combatant area. === Everd and Mainar === Upon entering his quarters the Dwarf Commoner finds Everd drunk and taking a nap, unable to wake up after his drinking. Leske then repeats his warnings about what will happen if they fail. You will decide (or Leske will convince you) to equip Everd's armor and win the Proving in Everd's name. There is no alternative. You will also automatically receive the [[Fight Schedule]]. In this conversation however you can choose to: * Abstain from poisoning the water and win without cheating * Ask Leske to do the poisoning, by distracting Mainar while he does so (as either Everd or yourself) **If the Dwarf Commoner pretends to be Everd, they should just speak with Mainar long enough while Leske puts the drug on his water basin. Otherwise, the Dwarf Commoner should pretend to be a fan which even if the persuasion choice isn't picked, as long as the conversation about his past campaigns holds long enough, Leske will manage to do his task * Poison Mainar's water yourself while Leske is checking for the guards (as either Everd or yourself) **The Dwarf Commoner will need to pass a persuade check. If they are pretending to be Everd, the will have to persuade him that they need to go and speak to the Proving Master, otherwise they'll need to persuade him that they are here to replace the water. The latter option will also make Mainar give you a tip of 5{{c}} (even if he mentions three in the dialogue). {{Note|All persuasion checks require one point in [[Coercion]] to be successful.}} {{Note|Apparently, the drug in-game does not make Mainar less effective. However it does affect his pre-fight speech.}} Everd's armory includes the following plot items, which cover all melee weapon styles: * [[Everd's Armor]] * [[Everd's Gloves]] * [[Everd's Boots]] * [[Everd's Helm]] * [[Everd's Sword]] * [[Everd's Axe]] * [[Everd's Mace]] * [[Everd's Shield]] None of his gear has a strength requirement. The Dwarf Commoner will be regarded as Everd, as long as they have Everd's Armor and Everd's Helm equipped. Additionally, his gear will be taken away from the protagonist at the end of the battle while they are unable to sell it before that as Leske will stop you from walking out of the Proving Grounds. {{Note|If you equip some of Everd's equipments on Leske however, you can keep them afterwards for the rest of the game.}} {{Note|Everd's armor set does not apply bonuses, so you may want to use other equipment in the place of Everd's Gloves and Everd's Boots.}} === The Proving === [[File:Adalbo.jpg|thumb|250px|Adalbo]] Once the situation with Mainar is dealt with, in any way, you'll hear the Proving Master calling the fighters Everd and Mainar to make the final preparations before their battle starts. If Mainar's water basin was successfully poisoned, his speech before the fight will be incoherent. Proceed to the arena, and you will be pitted against three warriors: * '''[[Mainar]]''': A warrior who fights with [[Weapon and Shield talents (Origins)|a mace and shield]]. He uses [[Shield Defense (Origins)|Shield Defense]] and [[Shield Pummel]]. * '''Adalbo''': A warrior who wields [[Two-Handed talents (Origins)|a battle axe]], and uses [[Mighty Blow (Origins)|Mighty Blow]] and [[Berserk (Origins)|Berserk]]. Adalbo is the last year's Journeyman Division champion. * '''[[Lenka]]''': A [[Silent Sisters|Silent Sister]] candidate, [[Dual Weapon talents (Origins)|dual-wields blades]], her skills limited to [[Precise Striking]]. Unlike the other fighters, Lenka will fight to the death as it is her final fight before her blooding is complete and is fully accepted within the Silent Sisters making her a slightly stronger opponent. Once she is killed, the Proving Master will start announcing the final round when Everd awakes from his drunken stupor and runs into the arena apparently thinking he is late for the Proving, as the Proving Master mentions his name, only to realize that an impostor is dressed in his armor. [[File:Enraged Proving Watchers.png|thumb|270px|Enraged Proving Master and watchers]] This prompts [[Mainar]] to identify Everd as the person who just entered the ring while the Proving Master orders the Dwarf Commoner to remove their helmet in order to reveal their identity. Once the Commoner removes the helmet and it is revealed that they are a casteless dwarf, there is an angry outburst from the Proving Master and the other watchers which ends only when the Proving Master orders the arrest of the Dwarf Commoner for defiling the sacred constitution of the Provings.}} == Result == The Dwarf Commoner takes some of the guards down before being taken down themselves and losing consciousness. The '''Proving Loyalties''' quest is ended and [[Captured]] starts. == Notes == * [[Varick]] is among those who watched this proving.

New Firm to Develop Algae-Based Fuel
A new company called AXI, LLC is looking to develop next-generation algae that makes the production of biodiesel more economical. Specifically, the company looks to algae as
[having] the potential for producing vast quantities of biostock for conversion into biofuels for transportation and heating. Our proprietary methodology for developing specific growth and productivity traits will help any algae production system improve its output of inexpensive, oil-rich algae as the raw material for the production of biofuel.
Further information about the company, as seen on AXI's company profile is as follows:
AXI is a University of Washington spin-out Company created in partnership with the founders, the University and Allied Minds, Inc. Allied Minds is a seed investment company creating partnerships with key Universities to fund corporate spin-offs resulting from successful early stage technology research.
This is interesting, as I have documented that algae may be one of the most promising "alternative" energy source in development (see prior posts "Algae Based Biofuels Are The Future", and more recently "Alternative Fuels").
Also, it is an example of the type of firms that venture capital has been flooding to, as I discussed in a June 10th post.
Lifehacker: Top 10 How To Videos
Lifehacker has a great post for the MacGyver in you. My personal favorite on the list: using a sheet of paper to open a bottle of beer. If you can't convert that skill into a free beer with your buddies, you've really lost it.
Here's a list of the rest:
- Buy a car without getting screwed
- Seal chips without a clip
- Get eight watch batteries from a AA
- Fold a t-shirt in two motions perfectly (and fast)
- Suck less at Photoshop
- Upgrade or replace your MacBook's memory
- Pick a lock with a bump key
- Boost your Wi-Fi signal with tinfoil parabolas
- Turn a $5 flashlight into a $95 torch
All certainly useful, but less likely to earn you a free beer.
Alternative Fuels
Popular Mechanics offers a look at the most promising alternative fuels being developed.
- Cellulosic Ethanol–Biological Method
- Cellulosic Ethanol–Gasification Method
- Algal Biodiesel
- Green Gasoline
- Biobutanol
- Designer Hydrocarbons
- Fourth-Generation Fuel
What is interesting to note is that none of these alternatives has been rolled out on a large enough scale to matter, yet. This is why it is very important to supplement our R & D of alternatives with new oil well development. Also, those in favor of wind use will first need to develop a 21st century energy grid to transfer power to where its needed both from wind and whatever other method is being used to make up any slack (ie when the wind isn't blowing).
Of these, I'm in favor of the algal biodiesel, which I've talked about before.
It's like Amsterdam…

Fickle Politics Aside (Part 3)
Along the same lines of previous articles, here are two more. I could beat a dead horse and breakdown specific details from these writers, but I'll let you read them, and enjoy them. You'll see the same themes as before. What's really amazing is how widespread this thought process is.
First, Tom Knott at the Washington Times writes, "If you are keeping score at home, China already is up 1-0 in the gold-medal count, easily topping its rivals in the blocking competition"
Then, Naomi Klein at the Huffington Post says:
Like it or not, you are about to be awed by China's sheer awesomeness.
The games have been billed as China's "coming out party" to the world. […] These Olympics are the coming out party for a disturbingly efficient way of organizing society, one that China has perfected over the past three decades, and is finally ready to show off. It is a potent hybrid of the most powerful political tools of authoritarianism communism — central planning, merciless repression, constant surveillance — harnessed to advance the goals of global capitalism. Some call it "authoritarian capitalism," others "market Stalinism," personally I prefer "McCommunism."
Klein continues by discussing the sheer size and power that the Communist Party in China will mobilize to ensure they are able to show off their rapidly rising power… and look to export that as well.
Fickle Politics Aside (Part 2)
Another example of setting aside differences in the favor of championing liberty comes from Washington Post sports columnist Thomas Boswell. He points out the difference between western democracy-based governments and the very nasty authoritarian-capitalism running China. At times people here may claim the moguls of industry are in bed with politicians through heavily funded lobbyists, special interests, etc.
This Olympics will be remembered as a worldwide multi-week debate on the historic experiment that evolved by accident here over the past 25 years.
The largest nation on earth has unexpectedly evolved to the point where it is capitalist in every practical sense, including an entrenched elite every bit as ruthless as America's robber barons. Yet China has kept its strict, one-party, often-thuggish Communist rule.
This form of capitalism is, as Boswell alludes, reminiscent of times in our country's history where capitalism has shown its ugly, social-Darwinist side. He continues:
"The West has assumed that capitalism must lead to democracy, that free markets inevitably result in free societies," Philip P. Pan wrote in "Out of Mao's Shadow." "But by embracing market reforms while continuing to restrict political freedom, China's Communist leaders have presided over an economic revolution without surrendering power."
Boswell continues to discuss two contrasting ideas in his article–between the authoritarian human rights abuses and the showcase of economic progress. Both make for a very interesting read.
My recent "Crooks!" category showcases how bad it can be here with politicians. As Americans, we should have extremely high standards for ourselves and our representatives. We are Reagan's shining city on the hill. But we should also focus our free media on countries like China at times when they invite the lens of the world upon them.
In the same vein, we should balance comparisons like those Boswell draws equating times from our history with what others are going through today. It is an easy argument to make, but not very intelligent. Countries will find plenty of knowledge, technology and science that can allow their growing pains (politically, economically, environmentally, etc.) to be measurably less than what the Anglo-Saxon west (read Charles Dickens and Upton Sinclair for great examples) endured. Through that lense, it is unconscionable for modernizing countries such as China to have the same (or worse) situations compared to what we did one hundred years ago.

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.

Remember that DIY Snow White Shirt that I made last year? I had so many people freak out over it (in a good way) that I knew I wanted to make all of my favorite princesses. So today I'm sharing my upcycled tank shirt version for an easy Cinderella costume shirt tutorial. And as a bonus it's the perfect low commitment level type of costume since really it's just a super comfy tank top! It would be perfect for you overachiever types who run races and like to dress up since you can move very easily in it.
If you do want it to be a full Cinderella costume you can whip up my easy DIY tulle circle skirt and you're good to go! I am actually hoping to find the perfect pale blue knit so that I can make one of my quick DIY Maxi Skirts to wear with the Cinderella top. And since both are so comfy it would be princess pajamas almost!
What You Need:
- 1/4 yard of sheer pale blue fabric
- 1/4 inch elastic (enough to go around both biceps)
- light blue tank top
- poofy sleeve pattern piece (or you can just freehand one like I did)
- To make your own Cinderella top first start by cutting out your sleeve pieces. Either use a pattern or freehand one. You can see the basic sleeve shape in the picture above. Since it's poofy it doesn't have to be exact. If you have an sleeve pattern you can make it poofy just by lengthening the piece so the rounded part is extra long. If you look at my piece above each box on my table is 1 square inch.
- Next iron under your straight edges twice to make a casing for the elastic and sew making sure to leave enough room to thread your elastic through.
- Finish the rounded edge of your sleeve by serging or using a zig zag or overcast stitch on your sewing machine.
- Run a row of basting stitches along the rounded edge of each sleeve piece which you'll use for gathering.
- Cut your elastic so that it's about 1 inch longer than the circumference of your bicep.
- Thread your elastic through the casing and sew the ends of the sleeve together forming a tube. I decided to make a french seam since the fabric is transparent and I didn't want the thread from serging to show through. You do this by enclosing the edge of the fabric from your original seam in another seam (like the pictures in the second row above). Here's a tutorial for sewing a french seam if you don't quite understand what I mean.
- Next pull your basting threads to gather and pin to your tank top. I just pin it under the edge. Note that while you sew your tank top will stretch a little so you don't want to gather so it's totally flush.
- Finally if you can adjust the pressure on your presser foot on your sewing machine set it on the lightest pressure that will minimize the stretching while you sew the sleeve in.
- Sew your sleeve in with a zig save stitch. I recommend starting from the arm pit so that if it stretches and you have a little bump of fabric it's no big deal since it's hidden under your arm.
- Wear with princess pride!
I'm glad I finally got around to making this since Cinderella has ALWAYS been one of my favorite princess. I personally believe that Cinderella is the original DIY princess. I mean after all she upcycled her mom's dress into that pink bow awesomeness am I right? So who do you think I should do next?

I use the hashtag "love you" a lot. I wonder often if people mistake what I am actually saying. It is not a statement, but rather a command. I am calling you to action.
But do you head the call? If you are like most people, no. Why is that? Sure, sure, sure you spout all the well intended quotes, "You can't pour from an empty cup" but let's be honest, do you follow through? And who pours from a cup anyway?!
No you don't. You intend to right? Why is it so hard? Well lets flip that over and take a good old look-see. You have lots of demands. Could be work, kids, family, spouse, friends, cleaning, cooking, life! How does one fit in the time for themselves? Fair enough argument. Time is limited. You can only do so much in a day. However, let me punt back that argument. Why is any of that more important than you? Especially cleaning! I mean seriously Betty, put the feather duster down!
So the time argument doesn't really hold up. So maybe you say, "I mean too, but my day gets away from me and I run out of time." Okay legit. But why did you put self care at the end of the day and not the beginning? If you really are committed to self care, do it first. Start your day off right! Right?
"I can't do it in the morning, I don't have time. Mornings are too hectic!" Ehhh –hem. Alarm clocks have been around since 1787 (I know right?!) set your clock 20 minutes early and do something for yourself.
But… but. Yep. I thought so. So I have knocked holes in all your arguments, but that doesn't really help answer why it is so hard. The reality is, I don't know. But what I do know, is that it is pretty critical. We run and we run and we do and we do and collapse at the end of the day and sometimes we love our lives but often we just don't. We don't hate it. But we sure don't love it. And that is not fair on so many levels.
What if you had 10 minutes every day. Every single day that fed you? Sure would you still run and run, but at least you could think when your head is spinning and you can't think straight…"in just 2 hours I can…" And self care can look totally different to different people. For me it would be a long hot bath, yoga or meditation. For someone else it would be a walk in the woods. For my husband it is a run. Self care can be anything that makes you feel joy. And feeling joy… isn't that the point of all of this? Really?
What if even you didn't put yourself at the top of the list but you at least got on the list? Just.Got.On.The. Damn.List. Radical. I know. It feels all kinds of itchy right? But… but. Yeah. I know, but I don't know why.
But what I would tell you is that you should be your own best friend or your own mother. If you have a child imagine your child, if you don't, imagine the person you love the very very most in this world.
This person is overwhelmed to the brink of tears. You see them stressed and frustrated. You see how hard they are working to take care of all their obligations. You worry for them. It all seems a bit too much. Then they say, "You know I am going to…." You think, "Thank God! They really should do something for themselves! They need a break." And then later they say, "Never mind, I don't have time." What would you say to them? I want you to imagine sitting face to face, knee to knee with that person holding their hands looking them dead in the eye. What would you say?
I know what I would say. I would say, "Oh my sweet angle. Stop. Stop right now. None of this matters! I know it feels like the world will fall apart if you don't get your homework (or whatever) done. But lets imagine the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is you don't do it. What happens then? Does the world end? Do I love you any less? Does daddy? Do your friends love you less? No. So if the world does not end and no one loves you any less, can that thing that has you are so stressed about really be worth more than YOU? "
So figure out what you would say. Then write that shit DOWN. And every time you try to opt out of self care pull it out and look at it. When you do, imagine the person that loves you most in the world is saying it to you, knee to knee, holding your hand, looking your right in the eye. And by god…LISTEN.

I've been meaning to write this blog post about procrastination for a while but I keep putting it off. Sorry. Lame joke.
I know a lot of writers joke about choosing to audit the buttons in their spare button tin rather than sitting down to write, but I fear I'm worst than most. I get to my desk, I even sit on the chair in front of it, but then other stuff happens. Emails, online banking, Facebook, pondering whether now is the time to take on Dante's Divine Comedy (one day…).
It wasn't until I read the brilliant Artist's Way by Julia Cameron that I realised what was behind this diabolical laziness procrastination. I'll let Julia tell you, she says it so well:
Do not call procrastination laziness. Call it fear.
Fear is what blocks an artist. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of not finishing. The fear of failure and of success. The fear of beginning at all.
See, I'm not lazy. I'm terrified. And it's not surprising. All that fear with you for the entire journey – beginning, middle and, if you make it that far, end. Wittering in your ear, are we there yet? How much longer? Do you even know where you're going? No wonder booking in the window cleaner suddenly takes precedent.
So now that I know it's fear, what can I do about it? How do I get braver and quash those pesky doubts? If only there were a simple answer (maybe there is, answers on a postcard please…). I think that knowing it's fear is half the battle. Iris Murdoch famously said that "Every book is the wreck of a perfect idea." If we strive for perfection from the beginning then not only are we putting an incredible amount of pressure on ourselves, but we are almost certainly going to fail. I've written Iris's quote on a post-it and stuck it to my monitor. I nicked this idea from Ian Rankin, who has this quote above his computer (he said so in an interview – I've not been snooping around his house).
I have to confess that this lightbulb moment happened quite a few months ago and It hasn't stopped me finding a trillion other things to do when I should be writing, but at least I now know why I do it. It means I can have a quiet, encouraging word with myself, do some lunges and reason that what I write may be the wreck of a half-baked, foolhardy idea, but why let that stop me?
Blog post written. Tick. Now I'm off to dust the skirting boards.

It may not feel like fall here, but I still wanted to break out the warmer tones! This dress is a few years old already but I still enjoy wearing it because it won't go out of style. Besides--shift dresses are quite trendy now anyway. I wore it with another favorite: a bib statement necklace from NikNakky.
I also just got these cute bow heels from Le Bunny Bleu. I've had a longtime love affair with this brand and was happy to discover that they've branched into handbags, accessories, and heels. I love all my flats from them--they're among the cutest, most comfortable shoes I've owned, and their heels are no exception. The pair I got is made from gray felt and adorned with an adorable brown bow. It has a stacked mid-heel which is just high enough to add a little height while still being easy to walk in. They're also surprisingly comfortable, which is something I never really say about heels.

Counselors and coaches can expand their practice by integrating Flourish in Life Coaching Principles.
As a featured faculty instructor of the AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors) Life Coaching Training series, I teach training sessions on Coaching skills, Health and Wellness, Stress Management, and Women's Coaching.
Go beyond merely treating maladies, and learn coaching skills that promote transformation, growth, health and wellbeing. Cultivate strengths and character that enhances thriving in all life systems. These resources can be integrated with all clients and theoretical models.
The 7 Session Flourish In Life Coach Training includes a training manual, client coaching forms as well as many additional questionnaires and resources that you can use in your practice.
Purchase Coaching
In the first session, you will receive initial coaching intake and assessment forms, powerful questions and questionnaires that you can use with your clients as you begin the coaching journey. The focus will be on chapter 1 and 2 of the Flourish book. You will learn how to guide your client in the foundations of living in 'shalom' — well-being in body, mind and spirit. You will receive wellness inventories and resources. There will also be an opportunity for you to assess your own health and wellness, as well as discern areas of languishing.
The most important human need in order to flourish is know you are loved by God and to be loved. God's love changes everything. Our relationship with God and others is what life is all about. This session is based on chapter 3 and 4 in Flourish, where you will help clients become aware of their relationship with God, their God image and how they can explore, receive and absorb God's love before they can truly love themselves and love others.
Healthy love attachments are based on who you are, and who you are becoming. God uses our relationships to help us grow and mature in our character. This session is based on chapter 5 in Flourish, where relationships are God's crucible for transformation and to reveal Himself to us. You will learn how to provide relationship assessments such as love languages and attachment styles in order to grow in healthier relationship connections.
Your Joy system is more than a feeling. It is a state of being that encompasses your brain, mind, heart and even the cells in your body. All these systems of your life are involved in the pursuit and enjoyment of positive emotion and all the pure pleasures of life. This session is based on chapter 6 and 7 in Flourish. We will explore a basic Biblical, physiological and neurological understanding of God given emotion and brain systems as well as practical daily exercises to cultivate these even when facing challenging emotions.
"A plain and simple life is a full life."Proverbs 13:7 The Message
We are created with the capacity for a peace and tranquility system. This is our essential nature that we need to guard and cultivate. In this session, based on chapter 8 and 9 of Flourish, we will explore what blocks the flow of the Spirit of Peace in us during stress, worry and anxiety. Learn how to coach your client for a healthy Stress Response System finding antidotes to their stress and worry.
Our capacity for resilience is a very generous God given gift. We often need adversity to discover our best strengths and to keep growing. On our life journey one of the ways we grow and mature is to learn how to have a healthy crisis and cultivate bounce-back-adaptability. This session is based on chapters 10 and 11 in Flourish, where you will learn ways to build the psychological and spiritual immune system, cultivating character and hope in the midst of life challenges. Help your clients discover that God's plan for their life is redemption, restoration, abundant vibrant life and being fully alive in God.
In this last session you will learn how to create an intentional life plan for your client, discovering God's life purpose and calling for the season of life they are in, and develop a 2-3 year Life Plan. We will primarily use the resources in the appendix of Flourish, reviewing the Practices for Wellbeing, Flourish in Life and Relationships assessment, and Arranging My Life to Flourish.

League of Women Voters Wisconsin asked the following questions for their Voter Guide.
· What educational, occupational, civic, and community experience do you have that qualifies you for this office?
I have a degree in theology from St Mary's University. Have been an alderman in the City of Onalaska, the owner of a small business which provided technical assistance and systems to small and large manufacturers throughout Wisconsin. I worked for Raymond Brothers Development and managed 350 apartments, and held a Wisconsin Real Estate Brokers license, and served as project manager for the Center 90 area of Onalaska. I have served on the boards of the La Crosse Communications Consortium, The Clearwater Farm foundation, and the not for profit ResCarta Foundation.
· Currently the state legislature is responsible for drawing district lines for both the Congressional and Wisconsin legislative districts, allowing our elected representatives to "choose their voters," and they may do so in a way that does not reflect the character of the state or district. Legislation has been introduced in the last two sessions calling for a non-partisan agency to draft new voting maps for approval by the Legislature. Will you introduce and/or support this legislation, which puts the interests of the voters before the interests of those in elected office? Yes or No? Please explain.
Yes, voters should be able to choose their representatives while working with each other. Gerrymandering creates "Safe" districts for legislators. Iowa has been able to create a more unified system and I feel that Wisconsin can create a more open and equitable system as well. There are many other ways that legislators carve themselves safe spaces in the law. We must also look at ways that the legislature has exempted its members from open records requirements, taxes, and penalties.
· Please describe up to three top priorities for your term in office and how you will effectively address those issues.
Education: Public education is the core of a democratic society. State funding must reflect the promise of "every child deserves a quality education". School districts should not be constantly asking for referendums for support. Under the referendum system the wealthy districts get more funding and poorer districts get less. State funding for education is an equalizer and puts each and every child in the state on firm ground. I will work to get back to a more equitable funding source for our schools.
Taxation: The state tax code creates a higher burden on the lower incomes than the top earners. Recent changes create a greater burden on home owners than on big business. Electric cars pay no gas tax while using tax payer roads. We need to provide more equitable taxation.
The budget: This is the most important work the legislature does. We need to have a budget that works for all of Wisconsin and is void of special interest gifts or line items that should be debated outside of the budget process. The budget is required to be balanced and should be balanced by priorities and not by accounting maneuvers.
· In the 2015-16 legislative session the opportunity for public involvement in policy making has all but vanished. An example was the introduction of multiple bills on a Friday after 5 pm with the only public hearing the following week. This does not give citizens adequate time to understand the legislation and communicate with their representatives. What will you do to ensure meaningful citizen input into the public policy-making process?
Government is not a spectator sport. Democracy requires public involvement. If some legislators want to hide in the night and rush legislation before citizens catch site of hidden agendas, then others who hold office must rally the voice of the people and the press. The people should demand and legislators must create a requirement for common sense opportunities to review and reflect on bills being offered. We should have a state requirement for continuing civics education so that the electorate understands how they are governed. We need to encourage participation of the electorate at all steps in the process.
"We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate"

Independence Radio: Marilyn Saviola and the Fight for Independence
"It never felt right that I shouldn't be able to live in the Community," Marilyn Saviola, ICS Senior VP for Advocacy and the Women's Health Access Project, told Independence Radio host Stephanie Wallace. "If I wanted to have a life, if I wanted to do things, I would have to fight for them. I knew that."
You can listen to this episode here!
Marilyn, who has been quadriplegic and dependent on a ventilator since she contracted polio at age 10, has been fighting for her rights and for those of all people with disabilities for a long time, including for the right to live in the community in as accessible an environment as possible.
It may seem odd, then, to know that, as a young woman, she chose to live at Goldwater Memorial Hospital, a long-term care rehabilitation facility on Roosevelt Island, rather than stay with her parents in the Bronx. "My world was constantly shrinking," Marilyn says, "to the point where I made an intellectual, emotional decision to live at Goldwater rather than to live at home—which is so contrary to the mores of our society. You're supposed to be home."
But it was at Goldwater where Marilyn first began to develop a strong impulse toward independence and the skills to demand and win it. She explains, "I wanted to go to college and there was no way in hell I could go to college if I couldn't get in and out of my house." At least Goldwater was wheelchair accessible. Still, Marilyn had to exert a great deal of will to make the institution a suitable base from which to realize her ambitions.
Educated for Independence
Forced as a child to be educated at home in a city program that gave her minimal time with teachers, Marilyn says, "I wanted to go to college, but I wasn't learning." When she first applied for college, she was denied vocational rehab funds.
"They said I was too disabled and I'd never work," she says. "They said 'get a college that would accept you,' so I got accepted into LIU [Long Island University]. Then they said, 'well, she's too disabled. She's not going to be able to do it.' I wrote to Senator [Jacob] Javits—that's how far back we're going—and said to him, 'I'm being denied this, I want the chance to try.' So they gave me a year's probation. If I could maintain a C or better grade point average, they would pay for it. And I did, and they did."
At Goldwater, Marilyn had a peer group of people 18 to 35 who, like her, were expecting to leave the hospital someday, after college or vocational rehab, to go back into the community and become productive citizens. "They developed a special unit called the young adult unit. The nursing staff, the nurse's aides, were handpicked. They didn't wear uniforms. We had a 'house mother' and a regular recreation person and social worker—everyone handpicked."
Marilyn and her cohorts at Goldwater agitated for a different approach to hospital hours. Rather than everyone being put to bed and woken up at the same time for the convenience of the nursing staff, the members of the young adult unit were allowed to stay up if they needed to study or work on a paper. If they needed to make an early class, they would be prepared for the day by the night shift. Marilyn describes the creation of the unit and its accommodating rules as "a political achievement."
"Then they decided to staff it with regular nurses—to move out the staff who were on the unit—because we were getting 'too uppity,'" Marilyn says, adding by way of explanation, "It was the Sixties." Marilyn organized a demonstration to protest the changes. "We had a sit-in in the lobby of the hospital," Marilyn recalls. "We stopped it. I think that was my first real victory…. It was the first time I realized that you could really have power if you work together."

Too often as educators we are short-sighted; seeing only the immediate impact of our teaching on students, but forgetting that every hour of every day a nurse is providing person-centred, safe and effective care because of something they learned from us. Emails like the one below remind us of the impact of our teaching …
Hi Tracy
I had to share this moment with you! I have been in hospital having surgery. I was extremely impressed at the precise way procedures were carried out by one of the nurses, especially with taking obs and the pain management etc. She was fantastic, not missing a detail in all the procedures she was doing. So much so that I commented on the professional way she went about her duties. It prompted me to ask where she had trained and it was Newcastle.
The conversation continued and she mentioned learning about a girl called Vanessa. She said she had never forgotten what she had learned about patient safety from Vanessa's story. I then let her know that I was Vanessa's father. She became a bit overwhelmed and said she would never forget that moment.
Thanks for being part of Vanessa's legacy.
Regards Warren Anderson
The back story to this email is well known to many people but I'll summarise it here. Vanessa Anderson died in hospital as a result of a respiratory arrest caused by a series of human and systems errors. She was 16 and a vibrant, healthy and outgoing young woman. According to the NSW Deputy State Coroner:
The death of Vanessa was tragic and avoidable. The circumstances should remain in the minds of all medical practitioners, nursing staff and hospital administrators. Vanessa's case should be used as a precedent to highlight how individual errors of judgment, failure to communicate, failure to record accurately and poor management of staff resources, cumulatively led to the worst possible outcome for Vanessa and her family [1].
Warren's email reminded me that whenever we are teaching we need a dual perspective, focusing on both the students in front of us, and the people … just over the horizon … who they will care for in the not too distant future. This dual perspective influences what and how we teach and reminds us of the value and purpose of our work. Each year I share Vanessa's story as part of a series of patient safety lectures for nursing students and, like many authentic and meaningful stories, it creates an ongoing ripple effect and a catalyst for learning.
Well told patient stories can portray tacit and sometimes unappreciated elements of practice. By promoting a strong emotional resonance and feelings of empathy, humility and concern, patient stories can illustrate pervasive and recurring clinical problems and provide students with a powerful and effective way to learn, remember and reflect. A word of caution though … educators must transform these stories into meaningful learning experiences that can empower students to become change agents and patient safety champions. The focus should be on practice improvement, and not just on the negative aspects of healthcare. I often conclude my lectures with a 'call to action' and the the words of Dr Zuess:

text: The Basics of ATV Maintenance by ATV Suppliers | Tuesday, May 6, 2014 | 0 comment(s) Riding an ATV is something that intrigues a lot of people. Rugged and versatile, it is the type of vehicle that you can ride on just about anywhere. Capable of taking on just about any terrain and compact enough to maneuver even on the tightest of spaces, these are becoming popular both for people who need transportation for rough terrains and those who want to have that strong shot of adrenaline rush. That said, owning an ATV means you've got to take care of it too. In this article, you are going to learn some basics of ATV maintenance.What you may ask yourself in the beginning is, why is this topic very important to discuss? It is actually a very important thing to discuss because, just like any machine, ATVs need their share of maintenance. Proper ATV maintenance can make the difference between life and death. Because just like in any vehicle, the last thing you want is your ATV failing you while you are on a ride, leading you to an accident or at least a bout of inconvenience.The first fundamental skill in maintaining your ATV is checking your tires. After all, this may sound very simple enough because like just about any vehicle, from bicycles to trucks, tire conditioning can dictate so much. You've got to check properly tire pressure because too much or too little pressure could unsettle the handling and carrying characteristics of your ride. Another important thing to check on tires is the amount of thread remaining. It's the thread that is responsible for providing most of the tire's grip, especially when riding in wet and/or rough surfaces. When necessary, you must replace your tires.Another fundamental skill that's needed to be mastered for proper ATV maintenance is checking the fluids of the vehicle. This may sound simple enough, but this is often overlooked by most ATV owners. The levels of both motor oil and fuel need to be checked time and again, as well as radiator water and brake fluid. Check the fluid lines as well if there are any evidence of potential leaks or clogs. When spotted, try and seal it off immediately. Periodically, fluids need to be flushed and changed as they tend to be impure and stagnant over time. Keeping these fluids in right order can go a long way in ensuring that your ATV will run smoothly.Lastly, check that battery. The battery, when not in proper condition, would lead to the ATV not starting at all and may even cause some of the electrical components of your ATV to fail. Different types of batteries have different specifications on how they should be maintained. Better check the maintenance steps for your battery and make sure to follow the specifications.When you look at it, ATV maintenance is not all that hard to do. In fact, it can be argued that maintaining them is simpler compared to other machines. However, you've got to put those steps into action. Your safety and your ATV's durability are on the line.

Some of the stampeding short women whose chance to audition for Top Model 13 was cut short Saturday in New York after they rioted over fear that a smoking car was a bomb want Tyra Banks to give them another chance.
"I want Tyra to realize that we were cheated, and it wasn't fair. I'm tired, angry, hurt, confused, and I didn't even get to try out," Babyann Hernandez told the New York Daily News, while Hayley Ayala said, "At least let me submit an audition tape after all of this." The paper uses just those two models to stand in for what it says are "scores of berserk beauties" who "sent pleas to Tyra Banks, urging her to give them another chance."
New York City officials criticized the show's producers for not planning ahead for the large crowd. Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the paper, "If you're going to have an event where there's the remotest chance that the crowd is going to be bigger than you expect … call the precinct and make sure they know." And a police spokesperson said, "The producer of the show didn't notify the NYPD, so there were no cops specifically assigned there. They needed to alert the police before the event."
Tyra Banks and executive producer Ken Mok released this statement:
"We are concerned by the events that occurred Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of the New York City casting call for the next cycle of 'America's Next Top Model.' At this time, we still don't know all the details of what happened or what triggered the incident. We appreciate the efforts of the NYPD and will assist them in any way possible in this matter."

Online, you can print your reservation receipt that includes the "authorized animals" information.

#71 Habitats for a New Humanity
Is a worship gathering enough to form us in the way of Jesus? Or are there other ways we can gather? Do "good teaching" and thoughtful worship actually increase our longing for God's kingdom? Or is there another more powerful and formative way?
In this episode of RePlacing Church, I interact with my friend Matt's mastery of Sonos sound systems, the work of philosopher James K.A. Smith in You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit and the insights of futurist Kevin Kelly in The Inevitable: 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future to explore how we can create spaces beyond Sunday to reform the church in the way of Jesus.
