Visitor & Worship FAQ
Sunday Worship is the heartbeat that feeds our life together as a Christian community. Here we learn about God's blessing and forgiveness extended to all people. We listen to the stories that have nurtured and shaped our faith. We share a meal that makes God present to us at a table wide enough for everyone to find a place. We are sent out into the world to love and serve our neighbors.
Our worship is traditional in the sense that it takes its shape and purpose from the traditions that Christians, and in particular
, have followed for centuries. At the same time, it is contemporary in the sense that our words, our songs and our prayers reflect the many cultures and concerns that surround us - both locally and globally.
Everyone is welcome in our worship, and invited to join in as they feel able and led. We know that some families prefer to worship together, and others would prefer to leave their youngest children in childcare. We make childcare nursery available during the 11am service and Sunday School, so that families can make the choice that works best for them each Sunday morning.
Common Questions:
When you visit
for worship, you can expect to be welcomed from the moment you step foot in the building. Here are some tips for making your first visit a great experience.
Visitor FAQs:
Q: What should I wear?
A: People come to
from all walks of life, and you can see it in the way they dress. God accepts you as you are, not as you're dressed.

A: Children are certainly welcome at
Child care
is provided during the late service for those who want to use it. If your child needs to move around during the service, there is plenty of space to do that.
Q: Will I have to introduce myself?
A: Relax and be yourself - you won't be asked to stand and say your name. Since
is a growing suburban community, you can expect to be greeted warmly when you walk in the door. After every service there is an opportunity to meet others over coffee/hot chocolate and snacks.
Worship FAQs:
Q: What happens at a typical worship service?
A: Worship at
follows a pattern as we celebrate the story of God's love for all creation (including us!). Each week we take time to gather, we listen to God's Word, we share a small meal of bread and wine, and we are sent out for service in the world.

30 leaves chadon beni (culantro)
5 cloves garlic
1 small hot pepper
salt to taste
See how easy it is! This chutney could also be eaten with anything else, I like it with Split Peas Rice or Pelau or you could even try it with some Rice and Dhal and Smoked Herring. Try it with any meal when you want a little herbed spiciness. I really have no trouble whipping up a batch of this quickly because it grows almost wild in my backyard, and that is what I like; It's straight from my backyard to my plate.
Before I go… you may see me using Bhandhania, Chadon beni (shado beni), and Culantro interchangeably that's because we use all three names for the same herb (Eryngium Foetidum).
Ah gone! See you tomorrow please God. :^)

BHOPAL: Forest department staff continues to be under attack of mining mafia in Gwalior-Chambal region of assembly poll-bound Madhya Pradesh.
Five days after Subedar Singh Kushwah, a deputy ranger of forest department was crushed to death by a tractor carrying illegally mined sand from Chambal river in Morena district, two forest department guards were shot at and injured by a gang allegedly ferrying illegally mined stones in adjoining Gwalior district on Wednesday late evening.
The two forest guards identified as Harivallabh Chaturvedi and Harishchandra Chouhan were on routine patrolling when they spotted two tractor-trolleys carrying illegally mined stones in Tigra police station area.
The two tractor-trolleys loaded with stones mined illegally from Jikhrikho were impounded and were being taken by the two forest guards to the forest department office. Suddenly the forest guard duo was ambushed and fired upon by unidentified men from the adjoining hillocks and ravines.
Both the forest guards slumped on the ground after sustaining bullet injuries and were subsequently rushed to a private hospital in Gwalior.
According to Gwalior district police superintendent, Navneet Bhasin teams have been constituted to track and nab the culprits, while the two forest guards are stated out of danger at the private hospital.
Upset over the incident, Rajendra Sharma, a leader of the Van Karamchari Sangh blamed the apathy of the senior officials of the department for rising attacks by mining mafia on the forest department staff in the region.
"Clear-cut directions are in place that the patrolling party of forest department should operate only with armed police escort, but it's hardly followed on the ground. The department's senior officials even don't bother to go to police stations for lodging FIRs in case of attacks on the lower rung staff," alleged Sharma.
Earlier, on September 7, a 59-year-old deputy forest ranger Subedar Singh Kushwah was crushed to death by a tractor-trolley loaded with illegally mined sand in Morena district.

We recently spent a long weekend in Norway to visit the Fjords. A bucket list experience that we was to excited for. We chose to visit a smaller town to get a feel for the real Norway and with hopes that it wouldn't be too touristy. The town we stayed in was called Stavanger and it is lower down in Norway; below Bergen and across the other side of the country from Oslo.
As well as wanting to visit the Fjords we also had a good time exploring Stavanger and it was really quite beautiful. It had a beautiful harbour which we enjoyed walking around. It was also surrounded by restaurants and some bars.
When we're away we love to find some colourful buildings. Stavanger took that to a whole new level! Not only did we find a few buildings but they have a whole cobbled street lined with colourful bars, restaurants and shops. It has to be one of the most photogenic streets we have ever seen.
We also visited at the end of summer so they still had some beautiful planters full of flowers.
I mean have you ever seen anything quite as colourful as this street! We could have spent the whole day here taking photos! We also noticed that as it got later in the day the atmosphere picked up and it started to get busy for the evening with people going out for dinner and to the bars.
Around the harbour there are some beautiful buildings that all reflect on the water. If you're lucky you can also spot some quaint old boats. The harbour was nice and calm which made it a really relaxing place to explore.
The main reason for our visit though was to see the Fjords. On our second day we hopped on our boat trip and out we headed. The boat ride wasn't too long as we picked up some speed.
We was very lucky with the weather so we spent most of our time at the back of the boat where we had plenty of space to take photos and really appreciate the amazing views.
This was the old town and it really was so quaint! Be prepared to do a lot of walking though as there are so many cobbled streets and the town is very hilly.
The colours of the Norwegian Fjords summed up.
We are absolutely obsessed with these natural shades of green at the moment. Norway was so insanely beautiful and didn't disappoint with how much greenery it had to offer.
Our Fjord cruise was about 3 hours long and it allowed us to not only see the Fjords but also we stopped off at a waterfall where we was able to taste the natural fresh water and we also went past Preikestolen better known as "Pulpit Rock".
There is an option to stop off to hike to the top so thats something to defiantly consider when booking your trip.
We hope that this guide has been helpful for planning your visit to the Fjords.
Love Chloe and Megan

So I've been quiet this year, but then 2016 has been something of a wash-out for me at least, so I'm just keeping my head down and focusing on not going mad. But this is something that I can't resist sharing, a little glimmer of light in this doom and gloom year.
It's new footage from the upcoming game NieR Automata.
The distant future…
Invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing a new type of threat: weapons known as "machine lifeforms." In the face of this insurmountable threat, mankind is driven from Earth and takes refuge on the Moon.
You play as YoRHa, a series of androids designed to combat the alien invaders. The female is 2B (YoRHa No. 2 Model B) and the male is 9S.
If you're interested, there is also a video of gameplay footage below, with commentary from some of the team behind the game. Although the enemies are not like the ones in the first game, I'm sure you'll agree that there is something quite familiar about them… Horribly familiar…
I'm pretty sure this game is going to be just as heart-breaking as the first.

9 Everyday Questions about Pituitary Tumors and Pituitary Adenomas
by Zara Jethani
Pituitary disorders due to tumors are an under-diagnosed set of conditions that can wreak havoc on the hormonal system of the body resulting in a multitude of seemingly unrelated symptoms including weight gain, fatigue, loss of menstrual cycle and impotence.
Pituitary adenomas comprise various types of almost all benign tumors affecting the pituitary gland in the brain. They are by far the most common type of tumor occurring in the brain and account for about 15 percent of all first-occurrence (primary) brain tumors. Examples of pituitary adenomas include acromegaly, Cushing's disease and prolactinoma.
Garni Barkhoudarian, MD, FAANS, expert neurosurgeon and co-director of Pacific Pituitary Disorders Center at Pacific Neuroscience Institute sat down to answer some commonly asked questions about pituitary adenomas.
What are common symptoms for pituitary adenomas?
When there is a tumor on the pituitary gland, symptoms may vary depending on the particular diagnosis. The most common symptoms are headaches, vision loss or double vision, and hormone dysfunction which can include fatigue, weight gain, loss of menstrual cycle and impotence. In some cases, pituitary tumors can be truly asymptomatic.
Is a brain tumor, pituitary lesion and a pituitary tumor the same thing?
A pituitary tumor is considered a type of brain tumor. Pituitary lesions may also include cysts and inflammatory conditions that may mimic tumors.
What pituitary tumor treatment do you recommend?
One specific type of pituitary tumor, a prolactinoma (pituitary adenoma that secretes the hormone prolactin), can be very successfully treated with medications (cabergoline or other dopamine agonist).
In all other patients who have symptomatic pituitary adenomas or have a growing tumor, especially in patients with Cushing's disease or acromegaly, or other pituitary conditions such as central hyperthyroidism, craniopharyngioma and chordoma, surgical resection is best.
We recommend an endoscopic endonasal surgical removal of the tumor by an experienced team, ideally consisting of both a neurosurgeon and ENT surgeon.
I'm worried about my pituitary tumor diagnosis. Is pituitary tumor surgery dangerous?
There are always risks with any surgery. Though not very common, there are certainly serious complications that can occur during or after pituitary tumor surgery. These range from sinus infection, bleeding and hormone dysfunction to meningitis, vision loss, stroke and even death. Thankfully, the risks of these major complications are low (1-3%).
How long does pituitary tumor surgery take?
The duration of pituitary tumor surgery varies based on the tumor type, specific location, invasiveness and goals of surgery. The typical operation is around 3 hours, but can be upwards of 8-10 hours for rare tumors.
How common are pituitary tumors?
Pituitary tumors and cysts are very common, being identified in about one in six people. However, those that need surgery are much less common, affecting approximately 1/10,000 people annually.
How fast do pituitary tumors grow?
Most pituitary tumors are slow growing, approximately 1-3mm/year.
How often do pituitary tumors grow back?
This depends on the tumor type and pathological features. Most pituitary tumors have a recurrence rate of about 10% over 10 years. Craniopharyngiomas, chordomas and Cushing's disease tend to have faster recurrence rates.
Are there pituitary disorders support groups that I can go to?
Yes, the Pacific Pituitary Disorders Center's patient support group is the longest running group in the United States. Patient Advocate, Sharmyn McGraw has a vast network of resources available to patients seeking community support.

One promising alternative for folks looking to shed weight on a ketogenic diet plan would be to try exogenous ketone nutritional supplements. This type of dietary supplement is only available taken externally, it is not naturally made within the body. However, you must choose only the best exogenous ketones to maximize the benefits.
Exogenous Ketone Supplements
Exogenous ketone supplements significantly accelerate the body's ability to enter and maintain a state of ketosis and which makes them a wonderful addition to your keto diet. These supplements have the additional advantages of enhancing things such as cognitive functioning, health, and well-being. Sound too good to be true!
In this guide, we'll take a closer look at these nutritional supplements, the way they operate, and also the very best ones on the market.
The Beginning Phases
Whenever your system knowingly burns fat, it also creates ketones. All these "ketone bodies" are extremely energy abundant and the body has more energy along with higher productivity thanks to these ketones.
The main issue is, after having a lifelong diet of healthy carbohydrates and low fat, adapting to the dietary modifications and requiring the body to burn fat as primary fuel can be tricky.
The body goes through a period of adaptation when you begin a high fat and low carb diet. This is the period which keto professionals refer to the "keto influenza." It is when your body is not getting any carbohydrates to use as gas and you may feel run down or tired, as if you had the flu. Your body has not assembled the enzymatic reservations essential to start active fat metabolism (ketone generation). To put it differently, it stinks!
That is the reason why Exogenous Keto Supplements are common.
The biggest advantage for taking exogenous Ketone supplements would be to help the body enter ketosis. With supplemental assistance,the body is infused with busy ketones that are ready to be metabolized NOW. This helps bridge the "Keto Flu" period between carbohydrate cessation to the time when your own body will have the ability to create ketones from fat loss.
Significant utilization instance for Keto supplements: Obtaining to ketosis quicker and with no unwanted side effects.
After maintaining Ketosis naturally, Exogenous Ketone Nutritional supplements continue to be helpful. The keto diet can be tricky for most and errors are going to occur. Something as seemingly harmless as eating a lot of carrots may toss you out of ketosis!
That is where having a few exogenous ketone nutritional supplements on standby can be convenient.
Twofold usage:
- Quick energy if you require it.
- Go back to ketosis without going through the keto-adaptation period again.
Which Kinds of Ketone Supplements are The Best?
Presently, the two favorite kinds of valid exogenous ketone supplements include BHB additives and ketone esters. Of those two, we tend to favor BHB Salts.
BHB salts are Beta-hydroxybutyrate with electrolytes to boost uptake to your system. Whereas, Ketone Esters are far more of a laboratory concoction in which a ketone molecule is directly in connection with an alcohol molecule.
Comparing both in the real-world: BHB tastes relatively great when blended with flavoring agents making it much easier (and delicious) to take regularly. However, there aren't any horrible tasting ketone ester nutritional supplements either, BHB is just a little better!
More on BHB
If you are researching the keto diet and nutritional supplements, you have probably stumbled upon BHB. To introduce this supplement, BHB is an acronym for beta-hydroxybutyrate and also is a crucial ketone utilized in exogenous ketone nutritional supplements. When products promote themselves as a BHB dietary supplement, this is essentially another word for exogenous ketone nutritional supplement.
When lacking carbohydrates, our bodies instead create BHB from fat which then contributes to energy generation. You are going to want to make sure any exogenous ketone nutritional supplements that you buy include BHB which the body can utilize most effectivly when paired with a keto diet plan.
In fact, any nutritional supplement you buy to aid your Keto diet should fulfill three basic standards. It should be comprised of BHB salts, made with only all-natural flavors and also contains no carbohydrates! Of course you always need to be sure the product does not include any potentially harmful ingredients which don't directly enhance your well being.
Ketone Esters, Salts & Oils
Exogenous ketones typically arrive in the form of BHB together with ketone oils, ketone salts, and ketone esters.
Ketone Oils:
One way our body creates ketones is to divide MCTs in oils. Even though using ketone oils is a valid option to supplement the keto diet, this procedure of ketone supplementation is also indirect. This means the ketones aren't accessible right away and it may take a while for them to be useful withing the body. Ketone salts and esters are made with more readily available ketones.
Ketone Salts:
Ketone Salts mix calcium, sodium, or potassium together with BHB to assist in improving absorption. Many industrial, nutritional supplements you find on the market now have ketone additives. They are also generally known as "Ketone Mineral Salts" and "BHB Mineral Salts."
Ketone Esters:
Ketone esters, contrary to ketone salts, are synthetic chemicals. These connect an alcohol to the ketone body that will subsequently undergo metabolism in the liver and turn into a ketone. Right now, ketone esters are mostly just utilized in analyzing ketone blood flow levels at an industry level and not easily purchased on the free market. They're also reported to taste terrible!
Even though ketone esters aren't currently accessible to everyday keto dieters, a research study on rats demonstrated that ketone esters are somewhat more potent than ketone salts alone in reducing weight reduction. However, BHB capsules paired together with MCT oil had about the same body fat results as ketone esters.
It's also imperative to notice that raspberry ketones are not associated with exogenous ketone nutritional supplements and BHB. Even though a popular dietary supplement and itself, raspberry ketones are a whole other creature and it has been shown that they don't have a lot of impact on fat reduction.
Your system definitely benefits from the ketones present in exogenous supplements before your body is in full ketosis.
Realistically, there'll be times when you are unable to keep a constant state of ketosis. The most significant advantage of all ketone supplements is they help return to ketosis rather than needing to restart the process. It is possible to take these supplements before a work out to get additional energy or also between meals to get an excellent extra dose of ketones. They are certainly good to have on hand for many reasons!
As stated previously in this Guide, ketone supplements may also help enhance cognitive functioning along with your general well being, and provide additional advantages such as:
- Faster weight loss
- Reduced appetite
- More controlled blood sugar
- Reduce risk for illness
- Boosting mental attention
- Reduce inflammation
9 Best Exogenous Ketone Nutritional Supplements (BHB Pills)
#1 BHB Boost
BHB Boost is the highest quality beta-hydroxy-butyrate (BHB), with no unnecessary fillers or extras.
In comparison with other BHB nutritional supplements that were tested to get into ketosis — this was the most dependable.
Use BHB Boost early in the day to get some morning energy. Taking this supplement will immediately increase your ketone levels and is a good idea to take before workouts to get more significant output. You can also use it anytime to boost ketone levels immediately, reduce inflammation and improve energy.
#2 KetoSports KetoCaNa
KetoSports KetoCaNa is indeed a great ketone Supplement which I personally tried back in 2016. When I tried it, I was not all about the "keto-craze."
Instead, I was trying to unlock extra energy and ketones have a reputation for doing just this. With that said, my very first jar of KetoCaNa was mostly a complete waste since I was not fasting or abiding by the keto diet.
However when I started keto dieting, KetoCaNa was a crucial life-force fostering tonic. It worked wonderfully. In addition to that, KetoSports claims to be the most reliable BHB salt manufacturer in the sport. Quality and dependability!
#3 Giant Keto
New to the current market, Giant Keto supplies a significant and compelling brand of exogenous ketones in the form of BHB salt. However, Giant Keto also adds into some additional ingredients that may be unnecessary including 3 g of carbs and lipoic acid.
The addition of oleic acid, corn fiber, along with the carbohydrates is a bit suspicious when considering true keto targets. Howeve, if you choose this supplement, you can get Giant Keto for approximately $50 in 20 Portions. That is not too bad of a price considering every serving contains 14.6 g of BHB.
#4 Pruvit Keto OS
Pruvit Keto OS is one of the most reputable supplement there is.
It was a challenging debate to not place Pruit's OS as #4, but we needed to make the decision call since Keto OS is not your typical BHB salt merchandise. Keto OS is comprised of MCT Oils along with caffeine making it a little different than the other supplements.
Keto OS is marketed to be used before exercise or in the event that you may need a psychological boost. However, this also means that Keto OS can be harsher on the gut when your body isn't accustomed to MCT Oil.
Because of this, we favor advocating pure BHB salt products before MCT Oils.
#5 Perfect Keto Base
This is a much more recent exogenous ketone manufacturer and they have made a KetoCaNa clone that comes in an assortment of distinct flavors.
Even though Perfect Keto Base does not yet possess the credibility as Keto Sports has achieved, they should get commendation for have products of superb taste while still hitting a strong BHB dosage.
#6 InstaKetones
InstaKetones is a remarkably famous manufacturer on Amazon and provides a large-dose ketone burst with an orange taste!
It is different compared to other BHB salt brands as InstaKetones especially as it utilizes the pure sodium and calcium bonded version of BHB. InstaKetones eliminates the potassium and magnesium other BHB brands use.
The outcome? InstaKetones provides a high daily intake value of calcium, roughly 87 percent. For men this might be a little overly excessive, but also for ladies, this excess calcium can be beneficial.
#7 Kiss My Keto Exogenous Ketones
With so many products out there for ketogenic dieters, we are keeping a close eye on this brand as they are probably to become increasingly more popular.
#8 Keto Collection SHEER Ketones
SHEER Ketones was created by the brand Spanking Strength Labs which we know because of their nitric oxide merchandise. However, we give this supplement a Sheer NO- You won't find us wanting this product anytime soon.
#9 Key Nutrients Key Keto
Essential Nutrient is a new brand however, their merchandise Crucial Keto seems pretty legitimate! Do not let their number 9 rank discredit them. SHEER Strength produced a lousy reputation while getting popular. However, Key Nutrients are apparently going the slow and stable route- a quality merchandise path for glory.
Wrap up on Exogenous Ketone Powders
As you can see, the ketones marketplace is still fairly new. We see a rush of products, some reliable and others not-so-reputable, as businesses attempt to cash in on the high demand.
We advise you to keep this in mind while you fact-check merchandise, ensure these brands make your list but also be cautious of who you trust to make nutritional supplements which will enter your entire body! Go for the number one choice on our list- BHB Boost is the best there is!

Sensitive, hazardous, or perishable items need special protection during transport, as even a slight change in temperature can damage or corrupt these items. Temperature-sensitive items include more than food; these may include medical specimens and medical items like vaccines and drugs, batch samples for chemical analysis, and certain computer and electronic parts.
To protect your items during shipment, you need to work with your shipper and also ensure you're doing everything possible to protect your materials once they leave your facility. Note a few ways to do that here.
1. Active packaging solutions
This refers to packaging that has some form of temperature control built in. This may include a heating or cooling element that works with batteries or some type of gel or ice pack that maintains a certain temperature during transport. These types of active packaging solutions can be needed for very sensitive materials that must maintain a specific temperature, in case temperature-controlled cargo containers are affected by outside heat or cold.
Active packaging solutions also protect materials in case of failure of outside heating and cooling elements during transport, and protect them once they leave a truck or cargo unit as well.
2. Passive packaging units
Passive packaging units are those that simply provide insulation from outside heat and cooling, but which don't necessarily change the temperature of the package itself. These types of units would include coolers for cold items and foil packs for items that need to retain heat. Vacuum packaging can also help a product to maintain a consistent temperature, so this too can be a passive packaging unit.
These units, although not actually controlling the temperature of an item, are an added layer of protection against the outside temperature. If something should fail in a temperature-controlled cargo container, passive packaging can help maintain the temperature of an item inside. These are very affordable types of packaging and this insulation can be added to crates, Styrofoam containers, and the like.
3. Temperature-controlled cargo units
Even with active and passive packaging, it's vital that you ensure you only use temperature-controlled cargo units during every part of transit. If your packaging should fail or not provide adequate insulation, the constant temperature of a cargo unit can ensure that your materials are protected. Many cargo units today are equipped with temperature controls in order to protect products from the heat of engines, and this protection becomes even more important for worldwide transit.
Weather conditions can change drastically from one climate to another, more so than simple packaging can protect against. Only use transit companies like Iceman Transport Refrigeration Repairs Pty Ltd with temperature-controlled units to ensure the integrity of your product during delivery.

Landmark Announces Spring All-Academic Team
Goucher's Representatives Comes from Four Different Sports
May 27, 2008
MADISON, N.J. - The Landmark Conference today announced the names of the 32 student-athletes who make up the 2008 Spring Landmark All-Academic Team, which recognizes two male and two female athletes who have excelled athletically and academically from each of the eight Landmark institutions.
Goucher's four representatives on the inaugural Spring Landmark All-Academic Team are Emily Blatter (Lexington, VA/Rockbridge County), a senior attacker on the women's lacrosse team, Alex Boucher (North Wales, PA/Germantown Academy), a junior midfielder on the men's lacrosse team, Chris Covey (Exeter, NH/Exeter), a senior on the men's tennis team, and Sheba Newman-Blount (Lanham, MD/Bishop Ireton), a junior on the women's track and field team.
Nominees could compete in any of the Landmark spring sports and had to be a sophomore, junior or senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Blatter concluded her career at Goucher as the fourth-leading scorer in the history of the school's women's lacrosse program with 211 goals. She was a first-team All-Landmark and second-team All-Chesapeake Region selection on attack as a senior.
Boucher, who was the recipient of Goucher's Scholar-Athlete Award in 2007-08, earned a spot on the All-Landmark Conference Men's Lacrosse second team as a specialist.
Covey, who played primarily at first or second in Goucher's singles lineup as a senior, won seven singles matches during his final season with the Gophers.
Newman-Blount broke the outdoor school record in the 400-meter hurdles when she placed third overall in that event at the 2008 Landmark Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She also finished in sixth place in the triple jump and 100-meter dash.
The 2008 Spring Landmark All-Academic Team features 17 seniors, 12 juniors and a trio of sophomores, and all eight of the spring sports sponsored by the Landmark Conference are represented by at least one athlete.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has announced the opening of the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip and has said that he will keep it open through the month of Ramadan, which ends June 14.
This marks the longest period of time that the border will have been open since 2013.
President el-Sisi's decision comes only days after dozens were killed and thousands injured by Israeli forces Monday during the opening ceremony of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
Ever since Israel imposed an air, land, and sea blockade on the Gaza Strip and took control of the Erez crossing more than a decade ago, the Rafah border crossing has been the only way out of the embattled territory for the 1.9 million Palestinians living there.
Unfortunately, since el-Sisi came to power Egypt has largely kept the crossing closed.
It was last opened in February of this year, but only temporarily, to allow approximately 160 Palestinians to return to Gaza after having been stranded in the Cairo airport for nearly two weeks.
Prior to that, the border was opened in November 2017 as part of a unity agreement between the rival Palestinian factions of Fatah and Hamas.
In total, the crossing was open for just 36 days throughout the whole of last year.

The fire burned a path of destruction across the Olive View UCLA Medical Center campus. Trailers where old medical records and financial records were stored are a total loss, along with the employee childcare center. Doctors on duty that night quickly realized the fire would soon threaten the main building.
"The wind indicator was basically showing that the fire was coming this way. So we knew we had a limited amount of time and what we were trying to do was basically try and discharge as many patients as we could," said Olive View emergency-room staffer Dr. Luis Lovata.
But the power went out. The hospital's backup generator finally kicked in, but lasted only 45 minutes. The co-generation plant should have been functioning as a third source but it too failed, leaving doctors and patients in the dark.
"We knew what we had available and we knew we could make do with what we had. Everybody was really working together to try and fix the situation," said emergency-room staffer Dr. Greg Moran.
Their first priority: Transporting 18 babies in the neonatal intensive care unit and nine adults. Some patients were on ventilators. With no electricity for elevators or the ventilators, doctors had to get them down the stairs on a sled-type of device and manually get air into their lungs.
"This is basically just a low-tech way to bridge them over. When the power fails we can just squeeze this balloon and we can just push the oxygen into their lungs and breathe for them," said Dr. Moran.
The fire left the main building untouched. Olive View is now trying to pinpoint the root cause of its power failure.
"The pump to the generator failed. We are doing an investigation," said hospital spokesperson Carla Nino. "We are working with the Department of Public Works and we are going to be bringing in an independent contractor so we have a really clear evaluation."
And doctors say that all the patients who are transported are fine, including two sets of twins and one set of triplets. Olive View said it does routine maintenance basically weekly. And they had done so as recently as Wednesday, the day before California's statewide earthquake drill.

Pesticides and antibiotics polluting streams across Europe
Wildlife and human health are threatened say scientists as Syngenta accepts 'undeniable demand' for change
Pesticides and antibiotics are polluting streams across Europe, a study has found. Scientists say the contamination is dangerous for wildlife and may increase the development of drug-resistant microbes.
More than 100 pesticides and 21 drugs were detected in the 29 waterways analysed in 10 European nations, including the UK. A quarter of the chemicals identified are banned, while half of the streams analysed had at least one pesticide above permitted levels.
The researchers said the high number of pesticides and drugs they found meant complex mixtures were present, the impact of which was unknown. Pesticides are acknowledged as one factor in plummeting populations of many insects and the birds that rely on them for food. Insecticides were revealed to be polluting English rivers in 2017.
"The importance of our new work is demonstrating the prevalence of biologically active chemicals in waterways all over Europe," said Paul Johnston, at the Greenpeace research laboratories at the University of Exeter. "There is the potential for ecosystemic effects."
The research, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, found herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, as well as antimicrobial drugs used in livestock. The risk to people of antimicrobial drug resistance is well known, but Johnston highlighted resistance to fungicides too. "There are some pretty nasty fungal infections that are taking off in hospitals," he said.
One of the world's biggest pesticide makers, Syngenta, announced a "major shift in global strategy" on Monday, to take on board society's concerns and reduce residues in the environment.

Jupiter Retrograde 2019: Find the Silver Linings
On April 10th, Jupiter stations retrograde in the sign of Sagittarius for four months, until August 11th. This does not mean Jupiter will actually be traveling backward in our sky. It'll just appear that way as part of an optical illusion created by the orbital lengths of the Earth and Jupiter. You are most likely familiar with Mercury Retrograde, an often frustrating time when communication and technology breaks. Jupiter Retrograde is very different from Mercury retrograde and is certainly nothing to fear. Jupiter Retrograde is, in reality, a positive time of inward and spiritual expansion, which can renew our faith in our lives and our path.
Jupiter is the largest planet of our solar system. Jupiter is so massive that it almost became a second sun. Jupiter's energy field is just as large and reaches throughout our solar system. If we humans respond to a planet's energy, Jupiter will affect us more than any other cosmic body besides the Moon (which is the closest) and the Sun (which is the largest). Understanding Jupiter's energy and its effects on our life can help us in many ways and can explain even more phenomena than Mercury Retrograde.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, luck, abundance, and finances. Normally Jupiter's energy moves outwardly. Jupiter's place in your natal chart shows the area of life you have the most opportunities and what kind of expansion you can expect in your lifetime. Jupiter inspires us to make big leaps in our life and not sell ourselves short of our true potential. Jupiter wants us to push the boundaries of our comfort zones and climb to new heights where we can expand our horizons. Jupiter also gives us faith. Faith that things will work out, faith that there are no wrong turns and faith that no matter what, we are always on the path we were meant to walk.
Jupiter governs the zodiac sign Sagittarius. Jupiter is responsible for the archer's wanderlust ways and constant desire for expanded consciousness. Jupiter is currently at home in Sagittarius, raining down even greater expansive energy to us on Earth. When a planet returns home, their power strengthens, and their effects amplify. Jupiter will remain in Sagittarius for its retrograde period. Retrogrades spin the energy of the planet inward. With Jupiter retrograde, we have a lot of normally out flowing energy spiraling inward, causing some deep contemplation and reformulation of our very consciousness.
This period, lasting until August 11th, gives us time to process our evolution. It gives us space and time to catch up mentally to our energy. Jupiter retrograde does not mean we'll have bad luck for four months, or our finances will dry up. It merely means that our path will be refined and tuned in to our priorities, including the things that bring us the most joy. Some of this refinement does come at a cost. Similar to Mercury Retrograde, we may experience things not working out the way we thought we wanted them to, only to find them taking an unexpected turn, and in the end, they work out far better than we could ever imagine. Retrograde periods remind us that sometimes we don't consciously know what's best because we don't "know" all the details, but subconsciously we actually have the answers.
Our subconscious is connected to the universal knowledge and calls in the energy we need, even if we don't "know" we need it. For instance, say you're applying for a job, the perfect job, the one that will make your parents happy and will show the world you are a success. You think this is absolutely what you want, only to find you don't get it. Heartbroken, you decide to take a month off and learn to paint as a form of therapy for your disappointment. Months later, you are an accomplished painter and far more successful than you would have been at the 9-5 job. You're the happiest you've ever been, and it no longer matters what anyone else thinks of you. This experience is Jupiter Retrograde at its finest. Heartbreak leading to a coincidence, predetermined by your subconscious that will lead you to heart expansion.
Jupiter retrograde reminds us that everything happens for a reason, even if we don't understand it yet. It inspires us to look back over our lives to find the silver linings and appreciate them. Jupiter Retrograde teaches us to take nothing for granted and be appreciative of every lesson, pitfall, and obstacle. This retrograde is a period to develop unwavering faith in your journey and understand what that adventure truly means. It means being grateful for everything.
Our job during Jupiter Retrograde is to keep returning to ourselves and appreciating every bit of our life. It is a spiritual journey of the soul with the deep understanding that happiness is an inside job. Abundance, as well as luck, coincidences, and expansion, are all inside jobs. Take this time to look at the details of your life, and enjoy the present moment, without looking five steps ahead. Relish in all the growth you've accomplished this year and last.
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, this period becomes a time to look at how you respond to expansion, and if you are blocking your growth in any way. Are you attached to your comfort zones? Are you attached to your fear? What old patterns are blocking your expansion and your abundance? Perhaps you're secretly afraid of success (which many of us are) and you've been preventing yourself from following serendipitous events that would lead you there. These are the types of questions to think about during this retrograde period.
Take the next four months to pause and reevaluate your energy. Think about your energetic evolution and how you can shift it from the inside out. Journal every day and spend time assessing your internal world. Notice how you respond to expansion, and how you react to setbacks. Often, our response to blocks sets the tone for what the universe will bring us next. Remember everything has a place in your unique journey. Gratitude for each piece with help you keep this perspective. Every day ask yourself "What am I grateful for?", "What do I love?", and "What do I need?" Allow these questions to purify your spirit so you are ready to outwardly expand and call in even more serendipity come August.
Our next four Full Moons and our next four New Moons will be affected by the energy of Jupiter Retrograde. Each Full and New Moon Workbook provides insights on how Jupiter will affect that corresponding Moon's energy. Read all about it in the Workbooks.

Wij hebben Ole hier ontmoet in Slí na Bandé. Dit is een prachtig project waar hij mee bezig is. Goed gedaan Ole en Maaike en doe zo voort. Het is wat we nu nodig hebben op onze aarde.
Uramus in Stier: Nieuwe Invulling Van Oude Waarden
Op 16 mei 2018 is Uranus, de planeet van verrassingen en controverse, in het teken van de conservatieve Stier beginnen lopen. En dat blijft zo tot 2026, 7 jaar lang. Wat betekent dat voor ons?
Uranus is de planeet van het plotse ontwaken, van vrijheid, van het onbekende, de toekomst, vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederlijkheid. Hij revolteert voor verandering, wijzigt spelregels en schudt je ziel wakker.
Als luchtplaneet en heerser van het teken Waterman, speelt Uranus een prominente rol in het tijdperk van de Waterman waarin we nu leven. Vernieuwing dringt zich op. Om die goed te begrijpen, staan we eerst even stil bij de voorbije 7 jaar.

I'm always excited to hear about new authors and this month we have a special treat for you with an especially hot author and a very cool book just in time for summer reading.
Meet T.A. Ford.
A wonderful author who should be an inspiration to all aspiring storytellers wanting to share their work through publication. As she shared her own story, I couldn't help being amazed at her determination to push the naysayers aside and continue to bring her story to publication on her own terms despite the standard industry roadblocks standing in her way. Now her debut novel is a favorite among readers and is still being shared through word of mouth (not to mention, it skipped a few books to the top of my TBR pile hehe). Ms. T, my hats off to you! :-)
Born in the beautiful city of Miami, Florida Ms. Ford began writing at the early age of eight. The oldest of two children with a schoolteacher for a mother, she was taught the power of words and of the countless adventures that could be found between the pages of a book.
An avid reader of romantic fiction and lover of television soap operas, Ms. Ford adapted the online persona of 'The Diva', and began blogging in 2005. Constantly frustrated by the inadequate portrayal of women of color in daytime TV, she created an online community known as Divasnluv, where new and published writers shared their stories. As 'The Diva' she wrote fanfiction and promoted fantastic tales off of characters either ignored or poorly written for on her favorite shows. Within a year her blogging and popularity grew, and so did the demand for her work.
Ms. Ford has written over 40 Chick Lit stories centered on multi-cultural romance. Now, she enters the world of publishing with the release of her first novel, Zoé. This historical romance captures Ms. Ford's ability to transform an unlikely heroine into every woman's inspiration.
Ms. Ford is currently working on two projects: a contemporary romance and a murder mystery, both to be released in 2008. Plans are also underway to transform her most popular online work, an eight-segment series about the unlikely romance between an African American fashion designer and an Irish-Italian Mafia kingpin, into print in 2009.
T.A. Ford lives in southern Georgia and is the proud aunt of three. She is employed as a Product Development Manager for an online technology company, and enjoys the arts, writing, and blogging. To stay up to date with her book signings and future release dates, please click here.I had a virtual sit down with T.A. and offered her some questions for insight on her work, her writing process and also what she has in store for future projects.
Q: When did you decide you wanted to be a writer?
Fortunately, it was decided for me. I just didn't realize it until 4 years ago. My mother a retired school teacher and avid reader and poet gave me the foundation. Our shared love of words and my overactive imagination sealed the deal. Now writing is my life and I thank god for it!
Q: How would you describe the genre in which you do most of your writing?
The publishing industry calls it 'multi-cultural fiction'. Readers of my work call it Interracial Romance. I believe it to be nothing more than romantic fiction, featuring women of color and a rainbow of choices of men that love them. Funny you can pick up a Harlequin romance with a white woman and Italian man and not get the same labeling. Go figure.
Q: Do you write everyday? How much time do you spend on your writing?
Yes! I write every single day. Mostly between the hours of 3 and 6 in the morning or 6 and 9 in the evening. I actually write a lot of stories for free and run and fan fiction archive. I don't write for fame or fortune, I write because it's who I am. I couldn't stop if I wanted too.
Q: What sets the book apart from the other things you have written?
Zoé is so drastically different from my non-published work, and that's why I chose it first. First it's a historical interracial romance set in France. Something rarely promoted from the perspective of a black woman. The experiences of Zoé are so far removed from my own, that she is truly the most original character I've ever written.
The story is part fantasy part factual. To tell a love story during that time period was the most rewarding and challenging endeavor I've ever undertaken. Remarkably enough the differences between my hero and heroine are not what endears them to you, it's the ways they are so much the same. I love he idea of love, especially in the forbidden – and that's what Zoé is: the forbidden. .
Q: What will your next book be about?
Surprisingly nothing like my first!. It's called Masquerade and yes it is interracial. The heroine is a southern black girl from the bible belt South, trying to strike it big in the Big City – New York. The hero is a jaded Irish American business man ten years her senior. The story is unique in the cast of characters from Latin to Caribbean the lives they lead in New York and they ways they collide is quite a dramatic ride.
Marianne at sixteen, the younger by two years, has reached the age to marry, and must be wed first. Thus the girls are ushered from their village and presented to the mysterious, philandering Comte Julien La Roque de Toulouse. Though Zoé fears life under her stepmother's tyranny without Marianne, she embarks, supportively, on what she believes to be a new beginning in their lives.
The Count immediately takes a shine to the tawny brown demoiselle who stands in her fair sister's shadow. Discovering her love for poetry and preying upon her naïveté, he lures Zoé to his chamber with the promise of friendship and the exchange of poems. Soon Zoé is seduced by a surprising glimpse of the man behind the title. She finds herself deep in a passionate liaison, one that is well beyond her youthful understanding.
Desperate to cover her foolish lapse in judgment, Zoé races against time to keep the affair a secret. But when the truth is discovered by her cruel stepmother, Zoé's hopes of rescue by her father cannot be realized, and she is forced into a bitter bargain. She must secure her sister's betrothal by offering herself to the Count as a consolation prize.
Zoé's attempts to return the attentions of the Count to her sister Marianne are thwarted by a visiting American slave owner, who also discovers the illicit affair. And worse, his interference brings about the sudden death of her father, who suffers a heart attack over his daughter's betrayal.
Despite everything, Zoé believes in the Count's feelings for her and begs him to legitimize their union. But fear, prejudice and cowardice prevent him from doing so. The day her beloved father is buried, she is sold to the American slave trader and forced into a life of certain misfortune. Her only salvation is to trust the one person who has created the labyrinth of betrayal and tragedy that had become her fate.

Fitness4Diabetics is a service that provides personalized nutrition and exercise programs designed to meet your fitness goals. (I am currently in a trial membership. I'll have a full synopsis of the services after I return from vacation.) I had the pleasure of talking with David Weingard, founder and CEO of Fitness4Diabetics, at the Divabetic event in NYC and he agreed to an interview here on SUM. Let 'er rip!
Kerri: As the founder and CEO of Fitness4Diabetics, what inspired you to start this company?
David Weingard: I began running at age fifteen, raced my first marathon at age seventeen and about ten years ago started racing triathlons (swim/bike/run) as well. I always appreciated the positive mental and physical benefits of exercise. Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and set about to rebuild my life. I thought that I would simply incorporate diabetes into my existing life. Little did I know!
I learned that putting that plan into action wasn't that simple. I had to find people to learn from (doctors, nurses, nutritionists, exercise physiologists and other people with diabetes) and make an effort to stay in contact with them on a regular basis. As committed as I was to the plan, I found it very challenging to pull it all off while balancing my diabetes, job, family and life in general.
I also wanted to find a way to help the diabetic community and the search for a cure. In 2003 and 2005, I raced Ironman triathlons (the big ones with a 2.4M swim, 112M bike and 26.2M run) and raised charity for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) New York City Chapter. I received tremendous media exposure and along the way learned from the hundreds of people with diabetes who contacted me from around the world how my efforts inspired and brought them positive energy in their lives.
I was humbled and then inspired by their messages to me and set out in search of a more significant way of helping the larger diabetes community cope with the disease. I knew that for the most impact -- any idea would need to scale to reach as many people as possible.
I also learned that many of the reasons that diabetics didn't exercise or work on their nutrition included a lack of a support system, knowledge/training, access to Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE) and often motivation issues.
I was actually in the Denver airport on the way to race my second Ironman triathlon -- when the idea of leveraging the internet to provide ease of access to CDE certified nutritionists, exercise physiologists and , nurses who were collaborating to provide people with diabetes the professional guidance and support that they needed -- clicked in my mind.
From that point on, my energies were focused on building a company with people as passionate about helping people with diabetes as I am. I am very fortunate to have a phenomenal team of people working with me in Fitness4Diabetics.com. I am also blessed with a terrific wife Andrea as well as three sons Steven, Daniel and Jacob who have given me constant support.
Kerri: Can you tell me a little bit about what Fitness4Diabetics has to offer to potential clients?
David Weingard: Fitness4Diabetics provides exercise and nutritional coaching to people with diabetes designed to meet their individual goals. Our coaching team is comprised of CDEs who are also nurses, exercise physiologists, registered dietitians and personal trainers. Working with our coaches gives people with diabetes the tools to pursue their fitness goals while minimizing the uncertainty and apprehension around balancing insulin, food intake, blood glucose (BG) levels and the exercise activity.
We also began offering bi-monthly web/phone seminars on key topics related to exercise and nutrition. The seminars are led by our CDE coaching team who present the content and then host an open question/answer discussion. Besides the educational benefits received – participants feel a sense of support and community on the call.People interested in participating can go to our web site www.fitness4diabetics.com and subscribe. Once they subscribe, we will e-mail them the dial-in number and web information for the seminars. The upcoming webinars include:
Wednesday, March 21 at 7 PM EST, Strength Training and Diabetes
Tuesday, April 3 at 7 PM EST, Goal Setting/Achieving Our Goals
Wednesday, April 18 at 7 PM EST, Stress Management Techniques/Effect of Stress on Blood Sugar
Kerri: Fitness4Diabetics is a very unique approach to health management for diabetics. What do you think sets F4D apart from other similar services?
David Weingard: While there are many web sites with exercise/nutrition-related tools and individual people providing services – Fitness4Diabetics is the first company to provide integrated nutrition and exercise coaching by a team of Certified Diabetes Educators leveraging the Internet. We are committed to providing the knowledge and support services for diabetics without them needing to travel repeatedly to a hospital and clinic. We also work closely with their Doctors and medical team in order to provide the best guidance and coaching to our members.
Kerri: You have a remarkable team assembled, including several people living with diabetes. Is it important for you to have the input of other on-staff diabetics in your development process?
David Weingard: Actually, I completely rely on the Fitness4Diabetics.com team to provide the coaching services as they have the depth of knowledge in the fitness and nutrition disciplines --- as well as the practical experience working with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics.
Delaine Wright and Jessica Dair are terrific Exercise Physiologists who work with people with diabetes all day. Susan Meeke is a phenomenal Registered Dietician and Laurie Anderson, nurse practitioner, do a great job integrating the programs all together and keeping in contact with our members and their Doctors. Kate Puddu, a leading Personal Trainer in New York, also provides input and depth to the personalized coaching programs.
The team members work together to remember that our higher purpose is to provide these critical services to the global diabetic community and to have empathy for the challenges that every person with diabetes faces 24 hours/day - seven days/week.
Kerri: Okay, so people are interested now. How can they find out more about your program, and what does it take to sign up?David Weingard: As I previously mentioned, in order to participate on the phone/web seminars , people can go to www.fitness4diabetics.com and subscribe. People can log on to Fitness4Diabetics.com for information on how to become a member and receive the personalized nutrition and exercise coaching services. They can also email firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 866-411-0254.
You can meet us in person at our booths at the Boston and Connecticut American Diabetes Association Expos in March and April. Please stop by and say hello!
Kerri: David – humor me on this last one - If given the chance to grab an aerial perspective of anywhere, what would you choose to fly over in your hot air balloon trip?
David Weingard: The beginning of any Ironman race where 2000 people all jump into the water at the same time and try to swim in the same spot for the 2.4 miles. For that reason, that part of the Ironman race is also called "the washing machine". :)

I'm deeply committed to high quality yoga teaching. It's been my life, my passion, and my reason for getting up in the morning for over 25yrs. But I've been listening to a number of yoga teachers in recent months who would love to undertake advanced teacher training, but find the barriers insurmountable.
Good yoga teachers never, ever stop learning, but high quality yoga teacher training isn't accessible to everybody. That's a problem for both the yoga teachers who are deprived of the opportunity for professional development and their students – everybody deserves access to a well trained yoga teacher. So why isn't it happening? I've identified four key barriers to quality yoga teacher training:Read More

As Serena Williams moves closer to winning a grand slam this week at the U.S. Open in New York City, quietly in the background, mural artists commissioned by Gatorade have been immortalizing the tennis queen on buildings in the borough of Brooklyn.
The murals, which are part of Gatorade's "Serena 21" art series, honors the world's greatest athlete with paintings on Kent Avenue and Grand Street in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. The paintings were designed by Vault49, an ad agency based out of New York City.
There are murals dedicated to each of Williams' 21 grand slams.
Along with the murals, Gatorade has released a retrospective video of a young Serena, who wasn't short on confidence.
"If you were a tennis player, who would you want to be like?" the interviewer asked.
After the question is asked, viewers are shown Williams throughout the years, from her triumphs to defeats, then the camera returns to a young Williams as she answers the question.
"I'd like other people to be like me," she stated.
And now, after all these years, Williams has inspired people of all ages and backgrounds. No wonder people call her the greatest athlete ever. But it would have been nice if the murals were in an area of Brooklyn where little black girls could see her greatness, and not just a bunch of hipsters in Williamsburg.

We're sorry, but there seems to be an error with some of the information provided. Please check the highlighted fields
Product Information
Advantage is now available without prescription for the prevention and treatment of fleas in cats and dogs and the treatment of fleas in rabbits. Advantage should be applied once a month and is easy to use: you simply apply a pre-measured dose from an easy-to-use applicator tube. Just part the hair of your pet between the shoulder blades of your dog or on the back of the neck of your cat. Then apply the solution on your pet's skin. That's all there is to it.
Fleas can cause more than just irritation for your pet, they can lead to Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) or even anaemia (if it's a severe infestation). Some pets develop allergies to flea saliva, which means even a few bites can lead to severe itching and sore skin. Infected fleas can also transmit tapeworm if swallowed during grooming. All very nasty stuff.
What's more, fleas don't just bite your furry friend, they bite humans too and can infest your home, causing irritation to you and your family. Did you know it can take months to get rid of an infestation in your home as only 5% of fleas live on your pet, the other 95% are in your home environment as eggs, larvae and pupae. One application of Advantage, with its fuss-free pipette application gets to work within one day and remains effective for up to 4 weeks in pets (and up to 1 week in rabbits). Advantage is able to kill fleas through contact, no biting is required.
Key Features & Benefits
- Up to 4 weeks of protection
- Kills fleas through contact
- Vet-recommended flea treatment
- Easy to apply
- Starts working within 1 day, keeps working for up to 4 weeks
Advantage also kills flea larvae in the home, wherever the treated pet goes! Fleas are killed within one day following treatment. Advantage is water-resistant. It continues to work even when your pet gets wet. Advantage works against fleas even after a shampooing, swimming or exposure to rain or sunlight. This is especially important for animals with skin conditions that require bathing and dogs that swim frequently. More importantly, the studies also show repeated treatments are not required because Advantage continues to work even when your pet gets wet.
Not suitable for puppies or kittens under 8 weeks of age, or rabbits under 10 weeks of age.

Two Reasons Why I Avoid Topical Preaching
Part Five of Series: The Distracted Worshipper: A View from the Pews
I'm not a big fan of topical preaching, but not for the reasons you might think. I avoid it because…1) I'm lazy and, 2) I don't trust myself.
1. I'm Lazy
Let's pick a topic – how about prayer? Where do I begin? The Lord's prayer? Paul's prayers? Daniel's prayers? The upper room discourse? The prayers of the saints in Revelation? And that's just scratching the surface! There's so much that can be said, and from so many different places. If we're going to be faithful to the topic, we are going to have a ton of texts to peruse.
But it even worse than that, because if we're going to be faithful to the different texts, then we really need to study the context of each. Wait a minute! That's starting to sound like several truckloads of work. Isn't there an easier way?
2. I Don't Trust Myself
So I need to pick and choose several specific texts. But which ones? I'll probably pick my favorite ones. Or, the ones that I understand the best. Or, the ones that best explain my view of things.
This is getting uncomfortable – I'm not sure that I'm the best starting point. "It's me, it's me, it's me O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. Not the teacher, but the preacher, yes it's me O Lord, standing in the need of prayer!"
The Safe & Easy Way
I'm going to pick just one text and preach it. Much easier because I'll just need to study the context of that one passage. It's also easier for the distracted worshipper – less bouncing about the Bible.
Of course, to stick with one text, I really ought to study the entire book so that I preach the text in light of the overall message and flow of the book. Hmmm. Come to think of it, maybe I ought to simply preach through the entire book. That way, I'll be more confident that I really do understand the context.
Preaching a book does something else for me – it allows God's Word to dictate the conversation. If I'm picking the topics, I guarantee I'll avoid certain ones out of sheer self-protection. I'll steer clear of my hidden sins, and even some of the not-so-hidden ones. If I'm picking, especially tough or confusing topics probably won't make it onto my preaching schedule. And I'll probably take a pass on any passages that seem irrelevant to today's cultural issues and ethos.
I'd rather preach a book of Bible any old day. Like I said, I'm lazy and I don't trust myself.
Questions to ponder…
- How do you decide what to preach?
- What vulnerabilities does that approach bring?
- How do you know you're being faithful to the particular text?
- And faithful to the whole counsel of God?

I never knew that my last name was the Latin word for Sun until about 3 years after my husband's death. It was on a sundial in a public library courtyard in Arvada, Colorado.
I knew that sol meant sun in Spanish, but thought that Solis was more related to the Celtic Sun Goddess Sulis. My lifetime of practicing yoga and using mythology to chart life's tempestuous trials has brought me to a special place these days.
It seems I have gone through a cycle of 13 years. I can feel a completion. And my latest symbol and myth for myself is naturally, the SUN! It's like realizing that the jewel of wisdom has all along been right there in the middle of your forehead. Oh! There I am! Solis! The Sun! That's me! What a nice myth to carry around with me.
So I, Solis, rise again with my Mythic Yoga online classes. What's your myth? If you do not know, join me to travel the world without leaving your seat. The Mythic Yoga Studio is wherever you are and online! It's a personal journey and the online connection is to guide you there through the telling of world mythology.
We will explore the geography of our inner worlds that the myths point us to in our bodies. It's really raja yoga in action, as we will use a variety of movement in our practice including gentle yoga and dance. No yoga experience is necessary and can be even done from a chair.
We kick it off on MondaySeptember 12 at 8 pm EST for a 4-week mythic journey. Dive into your depths of being using story, mythology, dream work, journaling, ritual, art, dance and yoga to listen deeply and find your pearl of great price to bring back to the surface!
We delve into all world mythology and connect it to our lives using its psycho-social benefits. Connect to the somatic realms of the psyche as well as intellectual, which is through the body! Hear personal stories of a lifetime of yoga practice to inspire you to inquire into your own story and tell it, write it, dance it, express it - your personal myth for self-growth and healing. We will all start sharing out stories and discover that we are one! That's Mythic Yoga!
Mythic Yoga Online Classes Details:
• Cost is $250. Save $50 if register by may 15. Contact us to register.
• Four weeks of original Mythic Yoga online course work related to the Mythic Yoga At-Home Guide to put to work during the week at home.

• All you need is high-speed internet access and a webcam!
• Check out all the fun Mythic Yoga The Story in the Body participants had on our 5-day Retreats held in Boulder, Colorado 2008-2010.
The original Mythic Yoga! Live your myth! Take a risk and follow your bliss! Find the courage to go on that journey deep within. Fear not! it's only a journey into your own being and becoming!

This model is based on the original Grishko-2007 style, with longer flexible wings and wider sides platform, which makes it a great shoe for dancers with wide metatarsals or bunions. This model has its own, more flexible shanks: (Light Medium), LH (Light Hard). The smooth lining is sprayed with nano-silver particles to prevent the growth of bacteria. There is a small "cushion" for the toes inside the box - you can try and use it without any other padding.
The Miracle with LM shank can be a great choice for a first pointe shoe. Very comfortable due to the smooth lining and the cushion, flexible and roomy, it fits perfect for adult ballet beginners.
Best fit: sligtly tapered or square feet with wide metatarsals or bunions a low or medium arch.
Last type: 2007, U-shaped medium vamp.

1. Laugh a minute.
2. Factoid.
3. Play that funky music.
4. Two can play that game.
Got some spare time to kill then why not play a game with Alexa. You can play bingo where Alexa calls out the numbers. If worried about the number cards to tick of the numbers don't worry as you can download them at lovemyecho.com. Alternatively, there is a song quiz where you have to listen to the clues relating to the answer and guess the artist and song title. If that doesn't tickle your fancy then there is the fake news where you have to guess if the headlines are true or not. There are many more but these are some of the types of games you can play with Alexa.
5. Get fit.
6. Lost something.
7. Something cooking?
It can be quite stressful cooking and getting everything together but Alexa can take the pressure off as she can set the timer to help you cook your food and not only that but she can talk you through instructions so you know what you are doing when it comes to cooking the food.
