What Is Pet Boarding?
Pet boarding is a service that is traditionally offered by professional pet kennels, where a pet owner can leave their pet in the care of the boarding service while they're away. Boarding your pet can be a daily service (e.g., while you're at work) or for longer periods of time (e.g., vacation, work travel, hospital stays, etc.).
According to Rover, there are over 8,500 traditional dog boarding kennels to choose from in the U.S., not to mention the thousands of professionals providing non-traditional pet boarding services like vet stays, in-home boarding, and pet hotels.
Note: We chose to focus this article on dog boarding because it is the most common type. However, it is important to mention that there are boarding options for many different pets, including cats, reptiles, birds, and amphibians. If you're looking to board a cat or exotic pet, try starting with the PetSmart pet boarding service or The Spruce Pets' list of exotic pet boarding facilities.
Should I Board My Pet?
Deciding whether or not to board your pet — and choosing the right type of boarding — depends on the needs of the individual pet. You know your pet best. Before committing to boarding, assess your pet's personality and needs. Pet boarding isn't for everyone; behavior and emotional issues could prevent your pet from succeeding in a boarding scenario, as could a troubled or traumatic past. Many pets have increased anxiety and stress when they're taken from the comfort of their homes. In these cases, having a trusted pet sitter stay at your home may be the best option to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and secure.
That said, many pets succeed in (and even enjoy) traditional pet boarding. In traditional kennels, pets receive expert care from experienced caretakers — particularly helpful if your pet has medical issues that require monitoring or medication — and ample time for socialization with other pets. Traditional boarding is a great option if you have an active, social pet that might benefit from being around others or from maintaining a consistent feeding and exercise routine.
If you have any questions about your pet's compatibility with a boarding environment, consult your veterinarian; they should be able to provide advice and examples of trusted options in your area.

Free-range kennel
Free-range kennels are the most common type of pet boarding and the option most often associated with the term. Free-range kennels typically offer open spaces that allow the dogs to play with each other all day, usually until bedtime. The dogs' days typically include:
- Individual feedings
- Individual attention for special needs or treats
- Morning and afternoon playtime
- Naptime
- Bedtime in a sheltered area
Typically the dogs sleep in individual rooms near the new canine friends they met during the day and are grouped by age, size, and temperament. It's a low-maintenance formula that allows the dogs to play and interact while also remaining safe and protected. Because of this, kennels are best for active and socialized dogs that play well with, and enjoy the company of, other dogs. For dogs that aren't comfortable with or ready for socialization on this scale, there are kennels that offer single-room options, which will allow your pet to find peace and quiet in their own room until they become more comfortable.
Of course, there are downsides to traditional kennel boarding. Most kennels don't have staff on site overnight, and larger facilities invite greater opportunity for dog fights. Dogs with emotional issues may struggle with kennels, due to the stress of staying in an unfamiliar environment and the lack of a personalized touch from options like pet sitting and in-home boarding. And even though vaccinations are typically required for kennels, it's important to note that the proximity of other pets could expose your pet to illness or injury.
According to the PetCareRx experts, pricing for overnight boarding in a kennel is usually around $25 to $45 per night, making it one of the cheaper options, although there are generally age and breed requirements. For more information about preparing your dog for traditional kennel, check out our kennel checklist below.
In-home boarding
An increasingly popular method of boarding, in-home boarding, involves choosing a registered dog sitter who welcomes your dog into their home while you're away. It is common for registered dog sitters to house several dogs at once. Many dog owners prefer this method to free-range kennels because it could be less stressful for the dog — fewer dogs means it is not as loud or chaotic, and the in-home boarding environment is less clinical than a kennel or vet office. This allows the dog to enjoy its routine and its comforts in a home setting without much disruption.
In addition to active, social dogs, dogs that are in the twilight of their dog-years and pups whose dog-years have only just begun are prime candidates for the in-home boarding option because they need more specialized care. In-home boarding allows for closer monitoring of your pet, making it easier for the sitter to administer specialized care to puppies or older dogs.
That said, the sitter's residence is still an unfamiliar environment, which could induce stress in more sensitive dogs. In addition, the sitter will often board multiple dogs at once, most of which are unfamiliar and unacquainted. The dogs are usually not separated by size, temperament, and age; instead, the dogs share the same space and the same schedule. Because of this, in-home boarding may not be the best option for dogs who have trouble socializing or those at risk of illness. It is best to discuss your pet's behavioral or emotional issues with the in-home sitter beforehand so they better understand the pet's needs.
Pet sitter
With pet sitting, the pet owner arranges for the registered sitter to stay at the owner's house while they are away. Pet sitters typically come into the pet owner's house several times per day for feeding, walks, playtime, and specific needs. Pet owners can also make arrangements to have the pet sitter stay overnight if necessary. Dr. Ken Tudor of PetMD.com advocates for the use of a pet sitter because it causes the least amount of stress to the pet by keeping it as close to its familiar environment as possible and maintaining the pet's diet and routine.
Because pet sitting is highly individualized and maintains a familiar routine, pet sitting is great for dogs that are not comfortable around other dogs and those that prefer little stimuli. Dogs with behavioral or emotional issues or those with a traumatic past would also benefit greatly from the one-on-one care this option provides. What's more, because the dog is not exposed to others, the risk of illness is greatly minimized.
There are fewer drawbacks to hiring a pet sitter than with other options, but they are worth taking into account. For one, certain pets may not react well to a stranger, especially if the pet owner is absent for extended periods of time. In most cases, pet sitting also involves periodic checks, not 24/7 care — and hiring a pet sitter for overnight stays racks up the price quickly. There's also a human factor at play: Even if you don't hire a stranger, it may be worrisome to give someone access to your home while you're away.
As for the cliché about teenage pet sitters, it's important to recognize that many pet sitters don't have the same certification as kennels or vet clinics. To find a reputable pet sitter, try starting out with sites like Wag! or Rover, or try a pet sitting locator.
Veterinary facility
Boarding at a veterinary facility leaves your pet in the care of professional caretakers for the duration of your leave. The chief benefit of boarding at a veterinary facility is that your pet is in the most qualified hands, best equipped for specialized care and emergencies. As such, this option is best for dogs that need to be observed closely and those that need frequent medical attention.
In addition, there are no frills to a vet stay, and therefore it is one of the cheaper boarding options available. If you're looking to board on a budget, a veterinary facility may be your best bet. Plus, if you board with your usual vet, you know you can trust the service given, even at a cheaper price.
However, the most glaring downside of a veterinary facility is that it lacks the basic comforts of home. These boarding environments are usually overly sterile in an effort to ward off germs, and dogs typically spend more time in their cage than socializing with other animals. Because of this, veterinary facilities likely aren't a good fit for anxious dogs. Another major drawback to boarding your pet at a veterinary facility is that medical and surgical events assume higher priority, so it is likely that your pet won't get the attention and care it would with another boarding option.
Dog hotel
Trendy pet hotels are gaining traction as people look for every opportunity to spoil their pets. At most pet hotels, a slew of luxury perks are offered alongside general care. Some of more extravagant dog hotels in the nation include perks like canine sports clubs, beach excursions, blueberry facials, aromatherapy, and even "collection service" in a Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche, or Lamborghini.
Aside from the royalty treatment, pet hotels also provide the necessary caretaking services of other pet boarding options, like exercise, outdoor play areas, and individual care and attention from qualified staff. Because dogs are more closely attended to, pet hotels are best for dogs that require a lot of attention and aren't used to spending their time alone — or simply those that are more pampered than the rest.
Pet hotels, despite their luxurious amenities, aren't the perfect fit for every dog. They still disrupt the routine and environment your pet is accustomed to, which may increase anxiety or stress. If the pet doesn't react well to change, or if it is uncomfortable around unfamiliar people or pets, an alternative choice of pet boarding may be a better fit.
And, of course, the luxury price tag is included: Pet hotels run anywhere from $50 to several hundred dollars per night, so it's important to weigh costs and benefits for your dog before committing to any extended stay.
How to Choose a Kennel
Once you've decided on your preferred type of pet boarding, there are still many factors to consider before selecting a service, particularly when seeking out a credible pet sitter or kennel.
For pet sitters and in-home boarding, the most important factor is to meet your candidates in person. While it's convenient to open your home to a trusted neighbor, that may not always be an option. For those times when you need to hire a stranger to look after your dog, trust your gut. Check for references, certifications, and experience. For detailed advice on selecting the best sitter for your pet, check out the American Kennel Club's guide to selecting a pet sitter.
For kennel boarding, it's best to start your search with your veterinarian — they likely have some recommendations for kennels in your area that are best for you and your pet. You can also start your search by simply Googling "dog kennels near me." Online reviews are a great resource; you can use them to narrow down your search to the most promising options.
Once you have a few options in mind, we recommend showing up unannounced and asking for a tour. If a boarding company is reluctant to provide a tour of its facilities, that's a red flag. While touring the kennel, make notes of anything that seems unsafe or unsanitary, like unpleasant smells, grimy floors, or the presence of non-pet-friendly cleaning solutions. Confirm that there is adequate security and that the space accommodates your dog's needs: The outdoor play facilities should have ample space, shelter, and fencing, and pets should be divided by age, size, and temperament, both in playgroups and in nighttime housing.
The tour will give you the best idea of how the kennel feels, but it's also important to quiz the staff on more detailed procedures. Ask the staff for:
- A detailed evacuation plan for emergencies
- The pet-to-staff ratio (no more than 15-to-1 is ideal)
- On-site staff hours (to determine how long your pet will be unsupervised)
- Procedures for a sick or injured pet
- Confirmation that the staff is certified and able to administer any necessary medication
Remember, when checking in your pet, a trusted kennel will also ask you to provide paperwork documenting your pet's vaccination history. Most kennels require up-to-date vaccinations to decrease the risk of pets contracting potentially serious illnesses. If the staff doesn't ask for vaccination paperwork, choose another facility.
Nervous about vaccinating your dog? Many traditional kennel boarding services require vaccinations. If you're uncomfortable with vaccinating your pet, try looking into in-home pet sitters. Although not every pet sitter will watch an unvaccinated pet, many are happy to provide their services as long as you make them aware of the situation in advance.
How to Prepare Your Dog for a Kennel
Boarding your pet can be stressful (for you and your furry friend). To prepare you and your pet for a successful boarding experience, it's best to take a few preventative measures — especially if you choose to board with a traditional kennel.
Because kennels are highly social environments, try putting your dog through socializing training to ensure that it is comfortable around other animals. This can be as simple as taking your dog to the park, to a dog-friendly bar, or to the home of a friend or family member with pets. You may also choose to practice crate confinement at night and to leave your dog alone for longer periods of time during the day to help it feel more independent. If nothing else, train your dog with "stay" and "sit" commands so it is able to follow instructions properly while under the supervision of an unfamiliar caretaker.
When you check in your dog at the kennel, make sure you bring its favorite food, toys, treats, and bed (if required). To ensure a successful boarding experience, provide the caretaker with your dog's eating, exercise, and bedtime routine; keeping your dog's routine consistent is paramount to lessening its stress, anxiety, and confusion. Keep in mind the requirements of the kennel, as well: Most reputable kennels require dogs to be vaccinated, registered, and ID'd.
Most importantly, stay calm and make things quick when dropping off your pet. Leaving your pet, even for a day, is tough. However, emotional goodbyes or outward distress will likely make your pet feel fearful, stressed, or anxious. Try not to make a big deal of picking it up at the end of the day, either; save the excitement for when you're back home so the kennel begins to feel like a normal part of your pet's routine.
To make sure your dog is prepared for its kennel boarding experience, keep this checklist handy:

MD100. Looks pretty cool. Not sure about price.
Is the MD-102 that much better than the MD-100? It is very easy for me to over spend when purchasing new (or used) audio equipment. In this case, an FM Tuner is important but my CD Player continues to be my main music source. Does the MD-102 provide a large sound improvment over the MS-100 or is the extra money just for improved reception? I ppan on replacing my 7 year old AudioLab FM Tuner. thanks.
I am trying to reduce my purchase price
Hgeifman --it seems like there are two issues here. One is the degree of the sonic difference between the MD-102 and the new MD-100 and the other is what that difference is worth to you.
As for the first question, I have the outgoing Etude tuner and think it's a great component. I'm continually impressed by it's ability to cleanly pull in even remote stations and it has, to my ears, terrific sound. When I bought it a few years back, I got a chance to compare it to the flagship MD-108 and the MD-108 was surprisingly much better. Better tuning capability and much better sound that was at the same time more articulate and smooth.
For me the Etude was plenty of tuner, especially given the fact that most FM brodcasts and content leave a lot to be desired in the first place. Given my ratio of cd to tuner listening, the Etude was a great choice for me. If $1600 for a new MD-100 is worth it to you, then I suspect the used MD-102 (which I have not heard) at a little more used would be the way to go. If you're really trying to devote more money to your cd setup, I'd look for a used Etude or even an FT-101(a). You can get a used Etude for around $700. -james

The key feature of Baltimore City Detention Center's new anti-cell phone system is that it only blocks calls (on unauthorized devices) from within the prison. It's what keeps BCDC's cell phone crackdown legal. But Maryland Reporter's Len Lazarick says it doesn't work so well — or at least it didn't when he found himself stranded with a blown out tire across the street from the facility.
When Lazarick tried to call AAA from "100 feet outside the high prison wall" he got heard a recorded message:
"The cellular device you are using has been identified as contraband and is illegal to possess under Maryland statute 9-417," it says. "All attempts at communications are being monitored and recorded and may be used administratively and in a court of law."
Then his call was disconnected. He says he was eventually able to place a call after walking a full block to East Monument Street. Yikes!

- Cheshire and Merseyside has highest number of patients with no access to extended hour GP appointments
- New NHS England data reveals CCGs furthest away from hitting October deadline for extending GP opening hours
- NHS England claims its own unpublished data shows a better performance with 52 per cent coverage
More than five million patients have no access to extended GP opening hours with new NHS England data showing those CCGs which are furthest away from meeting national deadline.
The Cheshire and Merseyside region has the highest proportion of patients with "no provision" for extended GP hours, according to data published by NHS England.
Within the region, South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group and Liverpool CCG have the highest proportion of patients in England for whom there is no provision of extended access. Both told HSJ they are undertaking a procurement exercise to find a provider to deliver more hours from October this year.
Overall, London has the highest proportion, of any region, for patients with access to full extended GP appointments.
The best performing individual CCGs are Rushcliffe CCG in Nottinghamshire and Herefordshire CCG, which both have 100 per cent coverage for full extended GP hours.
NHS England has issued a deadline to all CCGs requiring them to have full extended GP access for 100 per cent of their population by October this year. The target was originally set for April 2019 but was brought forward by five months.
Several of the worst performing CCGs have told HSJ it will be a "challenge" to meet NHS England's new target date but are still working to meet it.

The data from NHS England records the number of patients in each CCG who have "full", "partial" or "no provision" of extended access. Those with "full" provision have access to pre-bookable appointments on weekends and weekdays between 8am and 8pm, through either their own practice or group of practices.
Those with "no provision" have no access to GP appointments outside of core contract hours.
Only those GP practices or groups of practices, which voluntarily signed up to NHS England's direct enhanced service funding are included in the data analysed by HSJ. It does not include any other extended access services that may have been commissioned.
NHS England said it had two sets of data for extended GP access. One is called the GP forward view monitoring survey and is collected directly from CCGs while the extended access bi-annual survey data is collected from individual GP practices. However, the national commissioner has not published the GPFV monitoring data and has declined to share it with HSJ.
It claims the data shows 52 per cent of the country has access to full extended hours compared with the data analysed by HSJ which shows 39.7 per cent of the country is covered by full extended access.
A spokeswoman for NHS England said: "The NHS is investing at least £258m this year to offer improved access to general practice, including evening and weekend appointments. This is ahead of schedule with appointments available to more than half the country now, and they will be available across the whole country by October this year."

So you want to build a website. Naturally your attention is on the design and features of the website. A common mistake shared by many website owners is not giving enough attention to backroom elements of website management.
The truth of the matter is you need to give as much attention to the behind-the-scenes part of your website strategy, as much as you would for how it looks like and what your customers can do with it.
Our company have been in the business of providing hosting services to countless website owners since 1999. Here are some learnings for your consideration:
- Choose your service provider very carefully. It is never easy to move (contrary to what marketers will tell you) once you've set up with a provider. This applies to your email server too.
- Spam will continue to be a pain on your side. There are lots of tools out there to help you better counter spamming.
- As your online business grows, so too will the amount of data you store. Make sure to have a backup and recovery strategy in place. Use hardware RAID 0 or 5. It is more expensive but RAID keeps your service up for longer than without one. Why? Because hard drives are not 100 per cent reliable.
- Paying extra for a managed switch will allow you to have better control over your service, including prioritizing traffic over your network.
- At some point in the future, you will want to know what is happening to your web server. It could be following a service disruption or the speed of your service has dropped significantly. A good rule of thumb is to log everything. A log report will help decipher the problems you are experiencing.
- Always backup your data and make sure you keep a backup copy outside of the datacentre. Why would you keep your production data and backup data in the same place? Sure it's great to have easy access to your backup data but if place you store both gets burned to the ground, what do you do?
- In line with backup, you should practice recovering your data from all types of scenarios - corrupted data, failed hard drive, malware infection, etc. Don't wait for that surprised "failure to recover" alert.
- Remember Murphy's Law - anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Make everything redundant. Sure, it's a tad more expensive. If you have a single point of failure, I can assure you it will fail there.
- Budget for clustering if you can - it will pay dividends in performance or quality of service.
- Finally, the whole point of outsourcing your website's backroom services such as resource management and email to a service provider is to allow you to focus on your business, it is still essential to be able to control your website's by yourself so you don't get stressed out waiting for your hoster to perform tweaks as and when the need arises.
Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, once said "The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency."
In the web hosting world, what Mr. Gates is referring to is a control panel. Put simply, a control panel is software that allows you to manage the various hosted services from a single place. A control panel is crucial to efficient and user-friendly webhosting as it enables you to easily maintain and control all your hosting services. It helps service providers reduce operating costs and increase profitability, efficiency and customer satisfaction by automating administrative tasks. And by extension, the same control panel can help website owners reduce administration cost by automating a number of backend operations.
Just to be clear about this Mr Gates followed his first rule with a second one which states that "automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency". So having a reputable control panel may well mean the survival of your web business.

So you want to be an astrophysicist? Part 1.5 - The Few, the Proud, The Astrophysicists
Well, each cohort in the US is about 4+ million people, about 4000 of those major in physics. Since participation in the further education in the US is almost 50%, that is 4000 out of about 2 million, or 0.2% of undergraduates (specifically, about 1.2 million bachelors degrees are awarded each year, with physics major 0.34% of those, near historic lows, trend has flattened after many years of decline, see APS jobs in physics stats. For what it is worth, about 1200-1500 PhDs in physics are currently awarded each year, almost half to non-US students, so about 1/6 to 1/7 of undergrads end up doing a PhD. The "rule of thirds" you'd infer from the raw numbers (# PhDs = 1/3 # BSc) is surprisingly robust at each step. The number of astronomy undergraduates is much smaller still, since not a lot of universities (61 according to this article by Cabanela and Partridge in AER) have a separate astronomy department or a separate major (so a lot of people who become astronomers or astrophysicists start as physics majors, or have an astronomy minor). The number of astronomy PhDs is fluctuating around 120 each year, with significant Poisson noise, as one might expect. There are 25-30 major research universities which dominate the astronomy PhD production, so classes are small, and the intake is fought over hard.
Having said that, current astronomy undergraduate production is about 300 per year, and has grown significantly AIP stats summarises. A lot of those are double majors with physics. Naively them about 1/2 of undergrads go on to PhDs, but after you allow for the foreign intake, it is more like 1/4 - 1/5, since some also go into graduate school in physics (and of course other fields, but I am not considering those now).
So, the good news is that if you're in the major, you have a high prior probability of going to grad school. You just have to pass the classes, get good grades, not go broke, survive the insanity of university, enjoy life, and take the GRE exam, the only exam stupider than the SATs...
So, what should you do. First, take all the math classes you can handle, especially if your interest is astrophysics; take calculus of course, through ODE, PDE, Complex Analysis, and some course covering spectral methods (Fourier and Laplace transforms etc). Better know what a Bessel function is when you get to grad school, and know immediately where to start on solutions to second order differential equations. Take also probability theory and statistics, linear algebra, numerical analysis, and computational techniques. If you can stand it, differential geometry, topology, functional analysis and some advanced classes never hurt anyone.
Then take physics. You don't have to take all of it, but would it hurt to do so? Solid state physics, wave theory, optics and quantum field theory all show up somewhere in astrophysics (all of physics does, that is why astrophysics is the greatest sub-field in physics! ;-) oh, and take relativity if you're at one of the few places it is offered.
What else. Well, the prereqs and college mandated hoops of course. Don't burn yourself out, but given a choice, wouldn't you rather take a gen ed class on something that is interesting (to you). Funky minors sound fun and macho, but they can destroy a GPA, a graduation schedule and enthusiasm - approach with care. Then think about what you like to do when you finally get there? Like to build things, add labs and engineering classes (especially electronic and optics). Like data, add statistics and computing classes. Like to think, go buy a ruled pad and nice black ink pen (no pencils, this isn't kindergarten).
So, you did that, aced all the classes, are student president, captain of some NCAA team, and still have time to party.
Now what.
Well, a long time ago, there was a rule of thumb - the odds of an incoming undergraduate in physics/astronomy getting a faculty position at a research university is about the same as the odds of an NCAA division 1 football player making the NFL. But the earning potential is different (not as much as you'd think, lifetime average!). And in both cases, it is not a bad career move, even if you don't make it all the way, the alternate career paths can be sweet. Oh, and in both cases, where you go to school matters a lot, for your average odds. But remember, there is always a Jerry Rice!
So, end of your junior year, if you can still stand the field, you need to start seriously working on grad school applications, and planning for the GREs. More later...
Here is a link to a College Boards article on some career issues.

God's Word for You
Psalm 87:4-5 Born in Zion
by Pastor Timothy Smith on Thursday, January 3, 2019
4 I will record Rahab and Babylon
among those who acknowledge me—
Behold—even Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush!
I will say: "This one was born in Zion."
For most readers, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre and Cush should be familiar places; enemy nations surrounding Israel. Babylon was to the north and east, corresponding to the geography of modern Iraq. Philistia was, for a long time, an enemy immediately to the west. The battles between the Philistines and the Israelites in the days of King Saul were fought only a few miles from the villages of Judah and Simeon (1 Samuel 17:2-3). Tyre was further to the northwest, the enemy near Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali in western Galilee. Cush was the nation to the south of Egypt that corresponds to the geography of modern Sudan. All of these nations are condemned as enemies of God's people in the prophets (Esther 2:5-6; Isaiah 39:1; Jeremiah 47:4; Joel 3:4; Amos 6:2; Jeremiah 46:9). But who or what was Rahab?
Could Rahab be a reference to the prostitute who helped the spies in Jericho? This is the understanding of St. Jerome (347-420 AD), who said: "Let the sinner be at peace; the Lord was mindful of Rahab (the harlot). I mean, at peace, if the sinner returns to the Lord" (Homily 18 on the Psalms). I admire this interpretation, because Jerome is trying to take the verse at face value with its simplest interpretation. But there is another possibility that works within the context of the other nations.
Rahab is sometimes a sea monster in the Bible (Isaiah 51:9). Dr. Brug says that Rahab "represents the chaos of the sea" (Psalms Vol. 2, p. 118). In Job, Rahab can either be the fierce sea itself (Job 26:12) or enemies coming over the seas, pirates arriving in "cohorts" of ships (Job 9:13). Here, Rahab seems to depict Egypt. Isaiah uses the name Rahab for Egypt: "Egypt, whose help is utterly useless, therefore I call her Rahab the do-nothing" (Isaiah 30:7). Some think that this association comes from the way that the Nile looks like a fierce serpent on a map, but no ancient maps depict the Nile as anything more than a straight line running from south to north. It was probably the proud or raging ferocity of the Egyptian armies that won the nickname Rahab here (Rahab also means "proud" or "raging").
Look what has happened to these enemies. They were Gentiles; they were the most common opponents of God's people, but now they are "born in Zion." They are recorded as being in the Lord's book of life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5). This Psalm has turned from general praise into a hymn for the mission work of the church. The Gentiles are also those who enter through the beautiful gates of Zion. They are recorded in God's register.
The beginning of the final phrase, "I will say," is not part of the Hebrew text but is carried over in translation as the thought from the beginning of the verse (translators must sometimes repeat verbs in order to make the text understandable). God himself is the speaker in this, the central verse of the Psalm. The idea of being "born in Zion" or "born into Zion" is the theme of the whole second half of the poem. It continues directly from here into verse 5.
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
"This one and that one were born in her."
And the Most High himself will establish her.
The middle line is not certain in Hebrew. It could also mean, "A man, a man is born in her." Jerome took this to be a reference to Christ, which is a fine way of thinking, because we should always be holding Christ before our eyes as we read the Bible. But the context is of Gentiles, the people of the world's nations, coming into the family of God, reborn through the gateway of Zion (the gospel in word and sacrament). Therefore I have adapted the NIV's understanding of the verse and have translated similarly, "This one and that one were born in her." This is a reference to all those outside the circumcision of the Old Testament believers and who entered into God's family through faith. Paul said, "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile" (Romans 1:16). The Sons of Korah are saying the same thing here.
Your place in heaven has been established by the work and words of the Most High. This name for God is Elyon, "the Highest." It is similar to expressions for "upper rooms" or "roof chambers" (Jeremiah 22:14). God is the one who is above all, above everything and everyone in every way. We bow before him, and by his grace we are born into his kingdom through the washing of baptism and the working of the holy gospel. To him be all glory forever. Amen.
In Christ,
Pastor Timothy Smith

Some good information here. Thank you!
Back to School Gluten Free
August has arrived, and with it, the waning days of summer. That can only mean one thing: school is just around the corner! For children who eat gluten free for medical reasons like celiac disease, and those with other dietary restrictions like food allergies, going back to school gluten free can also mean potentially difficult, dangerous and awkward situations.
As a part of my "Nearly Normal" gluten-free philosophy, I want to share with you my guide for making going back to school – for school-age kids and college-bound teens alike – less stressful, safer and of course, more delicious! Whether your child is starting kindergarten or off to university, these tips will ensure a safe and delicious experience.
One of the first things every parent of a gluten free or food allergic child should understand, is what are your rights. Your child may be covered under federal law that protects anyone with a disability from discrimination, and ensures equal access to education.
Food Allergies, Celiac Disease and the ADA
The Americans with Disabilities Act, Title III, prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the activities of places of public accommodations. Disabilities are defined as mental or physical impairments which substantially limit major life activities — like eating — and major bodily functions including the gastrointestinal, immune and neurological systems. Food allergies and celiac disease have been found to qualify as "disabilities" under the ADA (42 U.S.C. § 12102).
Title III prohibits any public accommodations like museums, restaurants, theaters, concert halls, stadiums, shelters, hotels, schools, day care centers, hospitals, or elementary, secondary, undergraduate or postgraduate universities from discriminating against any individual on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations.
504 Plans
Students with celiac disease or a documented food allergy (possibly even a severe food sensitivity) should use this legal information to support a request for gluten-free meals, as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA. Kindergarten through 12th-grade, undergraduate and postgraduate schools, both public and private — recipients of Federal financial assistance — must comply with both the ADA and with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. Section 794) which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.
"No otherwise qualified individual with a disability. . . shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. . ."
29 U.S.C. § 794(a).
A "504 Plan" is the written plan that allows access to an education for a child with a disability. Any school receiving federal financial assistance must comply with section 504 and provide 504 plans for eligible children. The federal financial assistance may be direct or indirect. However, religious organizations and entities (like schools) controlled by religious organizations are exempt, and thus have no obligations under the ADA.
In order for a parent to make such a request, it is best to obtain a written statement signed by a licensed physician indicating what your child's disability is, what foods must be omitted from his or her diet, and what foods must be substituted. This information will go on file with the school as part of a request for a 504 Plan.
The plan should not only cover the school's supplying of gluten-free meals, it should also cover things like ease of access to restrooms, hand-washing after handling gluten play dough, advance notice to parents of field trips, parties, etc., and any other situation that might arise which could affect the child negatively in the school environment because of their "disability" under the ADA.
At universities which require students living on campus to participate in a campus meal plan, the Department of Justice interprets the ADA to require that those universities make reasonable modifications to their meal plans in order to accommodate students with celiac disease and other food allergies. Both public and private institutions are required to follow these regulations, however as noted above, private schools controlled by religious organizations are exempt from these requirements of the ADA.
Help and Filing Complaints under the ADA
The Department of Justice maintains an ADA Technical Assistance Program to answer any questions you may have about how the law applies to you. To speak to an ADA Specialist, call the ADA Information Line [800-514-0301 (Voice) and 800-514-0383 (TTY)]. The ADA Website also provides further information about ADA regulations and technical assistance documents.
To file a complaint under the ADA, go to the DOJ's site for downloadable forms and instructions.
Please share this information with anyone you feel may benefit from it, even your child's school.
Please also take this opportunity to download my Back to School e-book. It contains much more information on handling school lunches, holidays, birthday parties and field trips, as well as my Top 10 Gluten Free College Tips and recipes for delicious and fun gluten-free breakfasts, lunches and party food.
Make Back to School gluten free as easy as can be by being prepared ahead of time. You've got this!

This is SUCH a great resource–thanks Jules. The information is great, and because it comes from you, my husband and I know that it's unbiased, accurate and up-to-date. I don't know how you manage everything you manage for your fellow GF-ers, but we all appreciate you (and your products and eBooks) very much! Thanks for making back to school easier!
I'm excited to download the school book, but when I download the free book, it's your baking Bread book. It's like the link is messed up. Is there a way to still get the back to school book?
Thank you!

About Us
California DAR volunteering
Our chapter members are active at the chapter, district, state, and national levels. Kaweah Chapter generally meets at 1:00 PM on the third Tuesday of each month, September through May.
On September 17, 1787, the U.S. Constitution was signed by 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia's Independence Hall. The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens' responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America's great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787. Kaweah Chapter has sponsored an annual Constitution Week Celebration and Luncheon during the week of September 17-23 since 1956. If you are interested in attending, please contact the regent.
Chapter members participate in Memorial Day wreath-laying ceremonies at the Hanford and Visalia Cemeteries.
The chapter supports the Veterans Administration Central California Healthcare System in Fresno, California (VACCHCS), with monetary gifts and personal care items.
The chapter supports the DAR Schools with donations of thrift items, Campbell's product labels, and Boxtops for Education.

Arguably the best e-book from America's so much heroically bold author, THE EXECUTIONER'S music follows the fast, blighted lifetime of Gary Gilmore who grew to become well-known after he robbed males in 1976 and killed them in chilly blood. After being attempted and convicted, he instantly insisted on being carried out for his crime. to take action, he fought a process that appeared motive on conserving him alive lengthy after it had sentenced him to demise. And that struggle for definitely the right to die is what made him famous.
Mailer tells not just Gilmore's tale, yet these of the boys and ladies stuck within the net of his lifestyles and drawn into his procession towards the firing squad. All with implacable authority, steely compassion, and a restraint that inspires the parched panorama and stern theology of Gilmore's Utah. THE EXECUTIONER'S tune is a visit down the incorrect aspect of the tracks to the private resource of yank loneliness and violence. it's a towering achievement-impossible to place down, most unlikely to disregard.

She reached out and cupped one of Erin's hands. "You know I wouldn't suggest something I thought would hurt you. " Erin smiled at the memories of the BFF, or Best Friends Forever Club, they had formed in middle school. She squeezed her friend's hand in acknowledgment but remained silent. "I think you're wrong for not giving this guy a chance," Carol said. "He's the real deal. Single. Hardworking. " "Yeah, a real Boy Scout," Erin said. Carol threw up her hands. "What am I going to do with you?
Or because it was for a charity he deeply believed in. But last night another woman had gone missing. He planned to mingle with the crowd. Keep his ears open to idle conversations. Keep his eyes open for anything out of the ordinary. Because something was very much out of the ordinary. A monster had invaded their peaceful community. They'd already discovered two bodies and now a third woman was missing. Tony scanned the crowd for the hundredth time. It looked like a Norman Rockwell painting and he smiled in spite of himself.
And she didn't want to. She carried the tray to the trash. Lost in thought, she didn't notice a person trying to squeeze past until it was too late. He slammed into her with the force and speed of a defensive football player. Making a frantic grab for the nearest post to break her fall, she glanced over her shoulder. The man not only hadn't slowed down, he had already disappeared. Steadying herself, she vowed to pay closer attention to her surroundings and keep her mind off of Tony before she got plowed over.

The AAdynTech ECO Punch Plus is the most powerful daylight-balanced LED fixture on the market today, while only using 4.8 amps of power. These units include full range dimming; with no color shift, instant dousing, and have special effects like variable strobe and lightning!
The ECO Punch Plus is brighter than a 2500W HMI Fresnel. In our work, we have found it's an easy replacement for the 1.2 HMI Par (the traditional "must-have') on most sets. However, with the ECO Punch Plus you can easily plug up to FOUR (4) units into single household outlet. Unlike HMI's, there are no components to set-up or warm up time needed, just plug it in and turn it on instantly. Unlike HMI lights, which have a warning that they have to stay a minimum distance of 20′ away from your product, our lights can be placed within 1′ of your product allowing the operator to stop down the lens. This is a huge adjustment in photography or motion capture as it wasn't possible before. This light is DMX compatible, and has a built-in spring-loaded douse button, so the operator can turn the light on and off repeatedly. With AAdynTech LED fixtures, there are no hot re-strike issues that often plague HMI's.
Competitively priced with today HMI's, these lights prove to be more economical to own. No bulbs or spares lamps are ever required. There is a 60000 hr warranty life on the LED's and a 3 Year Mfg warranty on the fixture itself. This fixture is flicker free up to 100,000 FPS and throws an unbelievable but true output of 4,044 fc @ 10 feet with an even spread. Our optically efficient fixture design and lenses work together; to create the effect of a single light source, eliminating the multiple shadows that often plague other LED arrays. Space saving Quick-Change lenses, varying between spot and flood, create a bright and even field.
This ECO Punch Plus (certified ETL, UL, CSA, CE and RoHS compliant) generates far less heat, requires less power, and is a space saver (no more Head Cables & Ballasts)! The ease of use and low energy draw, bring efficiency and a greater safety factor to the talent and crew. As a Lighting Director and Gaffer I have been using these fixtures for over a year on almost every job I am happy to speak personally with anyone about the pros and cons of these AAdynTech LED's or any other fixture we use.

When you train for a big race, unless you are a professional runner, you know life will get in the way, so you go into it just hoping for the best. A couple weeks ago I was on a roll, getting faster and faster. I seem to have stalled a little. Now nothing terrible is going on…..it's just all the usual, plus the Owl. Let's see….Owl was still sick all weekend. His lab results finally came in, confirming he has a urinary tract infection. I almost cried to think he went all weekend long in pain, before the results came in. Now he is on antibiotics, and he is starting to return to being the baby who never stops smiling. But, he was glued to me all weekend. I was so worn out by Sunday night, when I finally got him to bed, I had one of my periodic Owl breakdowns. To top it off, both Mike and I seem to be fighting off the virus everyone seems to have right now. Mike has it more than I do, but I've been hit with intermittent bouts of aches and chills. Chomping lots of tylenol is keeping things at bay, but on the last 2 morning's tempo runs, I was pushing as hard as I could, and coming up waaaaay short. I knew I had been knocked down a notch. Then there is just the regular old rat race….early meetings at work, errands to run after work, trying not to fall asleep while at work. Everything seems to have added up to just making me tired. Coffee and adrenaline have kept me going a long time, and now I wonder if the buzz is wearing off. But these things happen. I am hopeful the little slow down is temporary and in another few days I'll have my energy back. Today was already better than yesterday, but still not normal. Hopefully this weekend's 20 miler will go off without a hitch.
Still, I am thankful I am up to this point. Sometimes it seems like a long time ago I was meeting Meredith to power walk around Mueller since I wasn't running yet. Sometimes it seems like it was just a short time ago I was home with a new baby taking my daily walk. There was a time 20 miles didn't seem possible. Now I don't know how I ever ran a 50 miler or a 100K. That seems so far.
I forgot to mention on my last post I tried a high protein recovery smoothie. As soon as possible after the run, I made myself a smoothie with plain greek yogurt, a banana, a little juice and a handful of berries. Maybe it is the placebo effect, but I swear I felt much better the rest of the day than I did for the previous weekend's 18 miler. I've read a lot in different places about how much a recovery protein drink or meal can help, and just getting calories ASAP. I felt good enough throughout the day that I am going to do it again. Any little burst of energy, placebo or not is welcome when you have a little Owl to entertain all day.

"Ephemerals: That's what Hub called them; flowers that bloomed and died in a matter of weeks, before the trees leafed out and shaded them. She liked the way the word sounded in her head. I am an ephemeral. It made her feel like something passing and precious." – Pamela Todd

"The Gentle Gardener
I'd like to leave but daffodils to mark my little way,
To leave but tulips red and white behind me as I stray;
I'd like to pass away from earth and feel I'd left behind
But roses and forget-me-nots for all who come to find.
I'd like to sow the barren spots with all the flowers of earth,
To leave a path where those who come should find but gentle mirth;
And when at last I'm called upon to join the heavenly throng
I'd like to feel along my way I'd left no sign of wrong.
And yet the cares are many and the hours of toil are few;
There is not time enough on earth for all I'd like to do;
But, having lived and having toiled, I'd like the world to find
Some little touch of beauty that my soul had left behind." – Edward Guest

"When I was a girl," she had once told a friend, "I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things, and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough…")" – Truman Capote

Posts Tagged 'villa del casale'
La Villa del Casale
On the way back from Catania, Sonia and I decided to take a side-trip to Piazza Amerina, a small mountain village in the middle of nowhere, and a long way from any autostrada. I wasn't entirely clear on the reasons for doing so except that I'd been complaining that all I've seen between Palermo and Catania was, in fact, autostrada 🙂 Sometimes when my mental translations have fallen behind and I subconciously skip a few sentances in order to catch up, which normally works fine when someone is banging on about the weather, football, etc. but sometimes (especially with Sonia) I miss crucial parts of the conversation or decisions and then have to ask "uh, why are we going to Piazza Amerina again?
So for all the misunderstood conversations I've had with you, Sorry, Sonia! 🙂
Anyway, in Piazza Amerina there is a Roman villa 'La Villa del Casale', a Unesco world heritage site with very famous mosaics. Actually not a villa in the proper sense (or at least not as I understand it) but more of an administration building with attached apartments for the local Tribune (or whatever the local boss was called in Roman times).
The entire experience is an excellent example of much that is wrong in Sicily, and how the little people either get screwed or get a great big chunk of pie, depending entirely on who they know and if the people they know are in political power or not.
In the case of la villa del Casale, the ones who are getting screwed are the tourists and the local vendors that one finds at tourist attractions all over the world. We found the stalls all closed up with signs saying "Closed by Court Injunction" and the vendors outside the entrance to the Villa, sheltering in the shade, peacefully protesting. The story, as Sonia found out, was that their stalls had been shut on public safety grounds, to open the road for heavy equipment that was going to be used to carry out some work on the villa. Some 3 months later, not a single piece of heavy equipment (we're talking about big earthmovers, cranes etc) had come down the road, and the works that were being carried out were accessed from a different road across the valley. But still the local mayor (linked to Forza Italia) refused to allow the stalls to reopen.
The alleged actual reason (alluded to in typical Sicilian fashion) was that the local government had given permission for a new restuarant/shop to be built right on the doorstep of the villa complex, and once this was completed, the competiting vendors were shut down to force the tourists to dine at this one place, and to buy their touristy junk from this one place.
No-one wants to suggest that the owners of the new place has paid kickbacks or is linked to the local administration, of course. Oh no, I quite emphatically want to say that there are NO SUSPICIONS AT ALL that the mayor or those close to him have been paid off to nobble the competition. Right, got that? All clear? The vendors have been shut down for 3 months for public safety. Good…
Of course, that begs the question that if the vendors have been shut down for public safety – I remind you, to make way for great big dangerous earth-moving equipment which would probably crush Joe Public under their huge tires without noticing – why are the same endangered public forced to park their cars on that very same road and walk down it to the villa (but only after paying 1 euro to the Parcheggiatore for the privilege of parking their cars on a public road)?
Did I mention yet the Eur90million that the local administration got for improving the site? Basic things like running water, public toilets, a bit of paint for the rusting greenhouse-type thing that's covering the villa? Which instead is being spent on a series of concerts and events? Again, I wish to make clear that there's no suggestion at all that the money's been used for these activities in order to facilitate kickbacks to the local administration, or that the people organising the events are linked to the local mayor in any way. It could be argued that a large series of small payments offers more scope for skimming than a small series of large payments, as well as directinng more work/jobs/contracts/money towards friends and family, but that's just unjust paranoia, and I'm ashamed for even thinking it.
And so, despite the money, despite the steep Eur6 entrance fee, despite the bus-loads of tourists, the site still lacks running water, toilet facilities, or any kind of interpretive centre to explain the significance of the place. Sure, they're a couple of sunburned posters, and the odd room has a leaflet, but really (and I'm an archaeology enthusiast) I came away with the impression "Some nice mosiacs…"
In case anyone thinks I'm being anti-Sicilian, Sonia's take on the whole thing is here

Choke Collar
A limited choke collar is a piece of nylon strap with rings sewn
into either end, like a choke chain. But, the one ring is sewn into
a flap of material so that it can only travel a few inches. The
average dog's head is about 2" larger than his neck area. When
a leash is attached and the collar tightens, it gets no tighter
than the size of the dog's throat and can't choke him. These collars
are used by "PAWS With A Cause" a service dog training

Practice Advice on Education Policy
Devolving Responsibility for Financial and Human Resource Management (OECD advice for Greece)
Description: The OECD advises governments to devolve responsibility for financial and human resource management in the higher education sector to the educational institutions, and redesigning funding models with an accountability framework.
Commentary: The OECD describes block grants to institutions for financial and human resource management as consistent with best practice in EU and OECD countries. The OECD described this best practice in their 2011 report "Education Policy Advice for Greece," in which they also issued the following advice related to this best practice:

Now that you have completed your GRE, received your GRE scores the next step is to start applying to the universities of your preference. If you're considering your masters abroad, perhaps you'll know how long and tedious the process is. If you have applied for a masters degree in an International college, you will have to pass through several stages. These stages are mentioned as checkpoints below:
- Select the course of your choice:
Before applying for a masters degree, you should choose a course in which you want to acquire a degree with a specific specialization. You should also account for the value of the course and how it could promise an uprising career graph. The clear vision of the course enables you to follow through with the next steps in a smooth way.
- Make a list of the colleges:
Once you have decided on the course you want to pursue, the very next step is to create a list of colleges which offers the course which you prefer. You can evaluate several colleges based on many aspects such as name, quality, research facilities, faculty, course structure, fee structures, post-graduation job opportunities, funding etc.
- Meet the requirements:
The International colleges ask the applicants to meet few criteria, which helps the admission committee to consider the significance of an individual candidate. These criteria also assure the prominence of candidature which helps the candidate to stand out from the crowd. The following are some of the main criteria which are taken into account
(i) GRE Scores:
GRE is a standardized test that has to be taken for seeking any masters degree abroad. Once you qualify this test, you can apply for management and graduation courses affiliated to science, engineering or humanities. The test score describes your intelligence level and interest for the specific course. There are several standardized tests being conducted for facilitating the same such as TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS, SAT, etc.
(ii) Transcripts:
You have to upload all your transcripts on the college website. The transcripts carry all the academic reports and help the admissions committee to ascertain that you are a student in good academic standing. It is an indirect indicator of your skills and knowledge in a particular subject.
(iii) Statement of Purpose:
The Statement of Purpose (SoPs) describes your need of pursuance of a Master's degree in an International college. You should be very precise in writing that. Your SOP should represent a clear vision for your future career aspects. An emotionally charged SOP clearly stating your purpose can make it more effective.
(iv) Letter of Recommendations (LORs):
Letters of Recommendation are used to describe you from the perspective of a third person. For example what are your attributes as a professional, how can you contribute to an organization to meet a common objective? Recommendations from a highly qualified person such as a Head of Department at your college or a manager at your workplace will have higher weightage.
It is important to not be demoralized and drop your application to a particular University if one or more of the above mentioned criteria are not as you expected them to be. For example, if your academic standing is not very great, then you can make up for it with strong SOPs, LORs and a great GRE score.
- Application Deadline:
You should be aware of the admission deadline. It is advisable to fully prepare your application package by the time.
The final BYJU'S mantra is to be calm and conscious about the applying norms for a masters degree abroad. BYJU'S will be glad to help you in your GRE preparation journey. You can ask for any assistance related to GRE from us by just giving a missed call at +918884544444, or you can drop an SMS. You can write to us at email@example.com

HAUNTING pictures have revealed the abandoned remains of an amusement park aptly named Ghost Town in the Sky.
The eerie images show the dilapidated park with attractions including Fort Cherokee, Ghost Town Bank and House of Terror still standing.
Other creepy photographs show the large rollercoaster remains in place with the cars discarded at the side of it, an empty church and forgotten arcade machines.
The spooky shots were taken at Ghost Town Village, formerly Ghost Town in the Sky, in North Carolina, USA by photographer Jeff Hagerman (37), from Atlanta, Georgia.
"I really love abandoned amusement parks, so as soon as I found out about this place, I wanted to go photograph it," he said.
"This is an abandoned amusement park with a ghost town theme, hidden on top of a mountain in a tiny town. It has a ski lift, roller coaster, haunted house, and several other features. I believe it's been shut down for a few years now.
"I love abandoned places because there's usually an interesting story about when it operated and why it's been abandoned. Unique places like this are almost non-existent anymore because huge companies own pretty much all of them these days."
An unusual aspect of this park is that it is located atop a mountain which can only be accessed by visitors via a 3,370-foot-long (1,030 m) chair lift or an inclined funicular railway.
Ghost Town was the brainchild of R.B. Coburn, a Covington, VA native who moved to Maggie Valley, North Carolina. The park was designed by Russell Pearson and constructed for approximately $1 million in 1960. The park opened on May 1, 1961 and quickly became one of Western North Carolina's most popular tourist attractions.
At one point, 620,000 people visited Ghost Town each year. This number declined to 340,000 by 2008.
The park was closed in 2002, not opening again until 2007 after $38million was spent on renovations by new owners. Money troubles meant the park closed again in 2009 and it hasn't opened again since despite changing hands multiple times with many openings planned in the intervening years.
An investment group called Ghost Town Adventures are said to have purchased the property in May 2018 and is currently in the starting phases of restoring the park to its former glory, anticipating a 2019 re-opening, with a July 2018 preview for the public. These photographs show that plan is unlikely to be on schedule.
Jeff, who took these images with a Canon 5D Mark III, explained the problems he ran into and why he loves abandoned places.
"We just had to hike up a big mountain to get there," he said.
"We were told before and after we went there that there were guard dogs, but luckily we didn't run into them.
"I just want to show how beautiful abandoned places can be and maybe inspire other people to go out and explore interesting places."

This picture was taken in one of the 2 cathedrals in Barcelona. No, not in Sagrada Familia, but in the old one, Santa Eulalia, in the Bari Gotic, the one that's actually finished (even though they are revamping it right now).
There is a beautiful cloister in the compound, with a 14th century urinal, and some geese. Cool and shady place, a very welcome break from the heat in the summer.
