What Is Drug Abuse?
For many, drug addiction begins as a casual happenstance, but use of the drug quickly escalates and increases. When drug use increases in frequency and quantity, it is more difficult to go without the drug because of the extremely unpleasant and painful withdrawal symptoms. Drug Addiction Center Waco treats the psychological and physical drug dependence, generally considered drug addiction.
- Physical dependency happens after repeated drug abuse has upset the way in which nerve cells in the brain link pleasure, and drug use becomes the only way to obtain pleasure-giving brain compounds.
- Psychological dependency can take a lengthier time to develop, and happens if the addict feels stress and nervousness at the thought of not being able to obtain his or her drugs to feel normal or happy again.
To treat dependency successfully and comprehensively, it is essential to address both the physical and psychological dependence on drugs. To help end their struggles, addicts deserve an experienced, caring, compassionate staff of experts who are dedicated to work with them, like the staff at Drug Abuse Rehabilitation Waco, TX.

Phil, Becci and the team
Welcome to Atkins Auctions, your local auction house. Based in Axminster, Devon, we are proud to deliver outstanding old-style values and service, coupled with new style, accessible auctions.
Traditionally auction rooms have been considered a place of mystery for a lot of people; too intimidating to enjoy the experience. Many people are confused with how the process works, presuming it to be complicated – and both buyers and sellers can be disappointed with the amount of hidden costs they incur with all sorts of added extra fee's.
We want to change this! After 30 years in the antiques business we can testify to the fact that auctions are a wonderful process to be enjoyed and should be simple, profitable and enjoyable. Customers will benefit from our extensive experience in the business whilst receiving a friendly, relaxed and efficient family service.
At Atkins Auctions we offer a set 15% + VAT commission rate – for buyers and sellers – that covers everything we do. EVERYTHING. There are no extra charges, leaving our customers confident there will be no surprises or disappointments. We believe multiple added extra fee's should be a thing of the past with total fee transparency you can count on.
Come browse on our viewing days and pick out that special item and own your own antique: it's a lot of fun. Get our opinion on an item's valuation. Let us take care of your house clearances with knowledge and speed. It's what we know and what we love to do.
"As a buyer of interesting and unusual ceramics, glass and pictures, I was really impressed by Atkins Auctions. Very well run, a great atmosphere, helpful and courteous staff."
"I am really impressed, everyone was very pleasant and helpful. I had an AMAZING result, far exceeding my expectations! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Atkins Auctions to all my friends. Thank you so much."
"The prices I achieved exceeded expectations and there were no nasty surprises in the fees. I felt 15% was a very reasonable commission. I received spot on valuations by a valuer who knows his stuff and the online catalogue was really clear and easy to use."
Trust. Transparency. Treasures.

Latino Community Fund actively contributes to several strategic partnerships and coalitions in Washington State to increase civic engagement, advance racial equity, and achieve better policy outcomes for communities of color. The following are some of the networks and coalitions where LCF currently actively participates.
Front and Centered (formerly Communities of Color for Climate Justice)
LCF is a member of the Front and Centered coalition. As communities of color, we have grounded our position on climate justice through a set of shared principles to help shape and recognize good policy. The first principle is that equity – making sure people of color have access to the same voice and opportunities - are at the center. The second is that people of color and communities with lower incomes receive net-environmental and economic benefits. The third is for accountability and transparency that requires inclusive engagement and oversight by lower-income communities and communities of color. If your organization is interested in joining this coalition, please contact: email@example.com
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to social, economic, and racial justice here in Washington State and across the world; and it's happening right here, right now. Our jobs, health, and communities are the prices we pay for escalating climate impacts like polluted air, severe weather, and drought. But not all of us are impacted the same. Communities of color and those with lower incomes are the first and worst impacted by the brunt of global warming. That's why getting it right, with equitable, inclusive policies is so important.
Communities of color and lower income communities are experiencing asthma at higher rates, increasingly polluted neighborhoods, income loss as workers in frontline industries and farmlands, and are economically barred from accessing clean energy, transportation and housing. Worse, these communities have contributed the least to this crisis, and the fossil fuel industry is holding hostage proven solutions that align climate advocates with movements fighting for economic and health justice.
Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy
Latino Community Fund is a founding member of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, and is a part of the steering committee alongside other great organizations. The Alliance for Jobs & Clean Energy is Washington State's coalition of individuals, organizations, and businesses that are calling for immediate action to reduce global warming pollution, strengthen our economy, and make sure Washington families have a better future. To lean more and join, visit http://jobscleanenergywa.com/.
Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN)
Latino Community Fund is a member of WAISN. WAISN is the largest immigrant-led coalition in Washington. WAISN is a powerful, volunteer-driven network of immigrant and refugee-rights organizations and individuals distributed across the state that strives to protect, serve and strengthen communities across the state. WAISN works to provide support, capacity and resources to organizations' efforts to build power and a united voice statewide. WAISN initially came together in November 2016, in response to the outcome of the presidential election.

My husband and I have been to the Cozumel/Riviera Maya area several times and have always gone the All-Inclusive route, so we were looking for something different. We thought we'd try renting a condo, buy our own groceries, cook for ourselves and try out many of the restaurants on Cozumel Island. We were not disappointed! Paul, the owner, was so great to work with and was always willing to answer any and ALL our questions before staying there. The condo itself was more than we had hoped for! Although it is small, it was just perfect for 2 people. The condo is very clean and well-decorated. The first time we walked through the door, we were amazed to see how close we were to the ocean. The view was the best we've ever had. We were so close to the beach/ocean we could hear the waves hitting the sand. And on top of it all, we could sit on the balcony or down at the beach each night and watch the lovely Cozumel sunset. It WAS paradise! The condo is well-equipped with anything you may need to cook light meals (microwave, toaster oven, toaster and 2-burner hot plate). Paul has thought of everything. The grounds are well-kept and both pools were clean and heated. We were especially happy that we had American television (DISH network) and WiFi and a U.S. landline, which you can use to call the U.S. at no charge. We had great phone reception, so were able to keep in contact with our family back home. Overall, I would highly recommend staying in this condo. We know we will be back!
This condo is everything it was supposed to be. I was really impressed with the service from Paul and from Fulvio.. Thank you Fulvio for the shopping trip ( I owe you) and Paul for calling before we left to make sure all was ok. For anyone considering this condo for a rental, don't look any further!! You have found the right place and the right owner. The condo is clean and everything was as nice as the photos suggest,,.,., in fact, the photos do not do the condo justice. I thought the condo was nicer than it shows on line.
As for the Reef Residences... the staff is friendly and helpful ... we had an incredible experience under the pier with the fish … only had goggles, but was safe and easy to view the fish and see the amazing colors…... The other guests/owners were very friendly.. and the weather was perfect.
This is genuinely a "Parrothead Paradise".
We will be back..
Always great to have Parrotheads visit my "Blue Heaven Rendezvous" and to know how much they've enjoyed their visit.
Loved the place. The location is fabulous! Room had a beautiful view and the diving was incredible! I'm coming back next year!
What a great little condo! The staff at Residencias Reef was outstanding, the condo was clean and well kept, and the location of the condo was great for me, as I traveled alone.
The condo itself was right on the beach, and allowed for unobstructed views of sunsets. Carlos N' Charlies and the Ocean Beach Club right next door were great for a quick and easy walk to grab lunch and a margarita after a morning of snorkeling. As far as snorkeling goes, there is easy, shallow water snorkeling in front of the condo, but if you decide on a tour, most operators will pick you up at the pier just 50 yards away!
Paul, the owner, was a delight to work with, and contacted me upon my arrival and upon my return back home to make sure my visit to his condo was good. Flavio, the manager, was awesome as well, and he was always willing to help me with whatever I needed.
The beach outside was rather rocky upon entering the water, so make sure you take water shoes of some sort! The bed itself was pretty firm, which was hard for me as I am a side-sleeper, but not all together uncomfortable. And whereas the location was 10-15 minutes south of San Miguel, getting to and from town was very easy with numerous taxis available at the front gate.
Overall, my visit was just incredible. I would definitely recommend this beautiful little condo to anyone just wanting a nice, private get away.
Stayed July 2013Submitted August 8, 2013Source H
This was our first time staying at a condo south of town. We rented a car and the trip in and out of town was not nearly as inconvenient as we had thought it might be. The view from the condo is terrific and I would say that the description and pictures in the VRBO listing are accurate. The balcony is generous and somewhat protected. Paul was a pleasure to work with and he seemed to be really interested that we enjoy the property. Hot water was instantaneous and plentiful which is important to me when I arrive back "home" after diving. That has not always been the case in other condos on the island. We enjoyed our stay and will be returning to Residencias Reef for future trips.
My mom and I had a wonderful stay at Paul's condo. It could not have gotten any better. The beach was wonderful, we walked north and south on the beach and I decided that the Residencias Reef has the best and cleanest beach. The entire area was very quiet and the people there were so friendly. The condo itself is so homey, it's like coming all that way and being welcomed into your own home. I truly felt at home. We enjoyed the sound of the surf and the repeated beautiful sunsets from the patio. We made use of the kitchen by stocking up at the grocery store before arriving and made all our meals. The condo itself was always clean and well maintained. I am going to recommend this property to my friends and I hope to stay here again someday!
My husband and I stayed here for 5 days. Had a wonderful experience and Paul was great to work with! He was always friendly, prompt, and full of great travel and staying advice. On arrival he checked on us to make sure everything was okay and when we got back! Answered all our questions. Condo had a great feel to it-was well maintained, clean, comfortable, and everyone was very easy and friendly to work with. Description and pictures are spot on! View from the balcony is gorgeous! We enjoyed having a rental car with us and would recommend it to others. This location is a little bit away from the town and we like to explore! There are many water sports to do just next door, and you can rent a bike close by as well. Snorkeling right in front of the place was great as the reef is right there. Great place to stay on Cozumel- away from big crowds, can't wait to go back! Highly recommend to others.

GOP struggled with continuity in state party leadership
12/20/2012 -
It's been a revolving door at the state GOP when it comes to the position of chairman.
Fergus Cullen, who served as state GOP chairman from 2007 to 2009, said the lack of continuity in the party's chairmanship has been a contributing factor to its problems in three of the last four state elections. There have been eight party chairmen in the last eight years. Beyond that, Cullen said there have been even more executive directors, which, unlike the chairmanship, is a paid position.
With former governor and former White House Chief of Staff John Sununu wanting the job, Cullen opted against seeking re-election in 2009. Sununu took the party's helm, bringing stability, strong fundraising and widespread victories in 2010. But Sununu didn't want to stick around longer than two years.
"He is a category unto himself," Cullen said. "But if people think the reason the party was so successful in 2010 was because of the chairman, well, they're just wrong about that. Governor Sununu is a category unto himself, but Republicans won big in 49 other states. ... I want to give him credit for maximizing the opportunity, but the party benefited from a really good year. If he had been chairman in 2012, we still would have gotten beat."
With Sununu bowing out in 2011, stability and strong fundraising bowed out as well. Sununu's preferred candidate, Juliana Bergeron, lost to tea party activist Jack Kimball in the race for chairman. But Kimball didn't last. He was essentially forced to resign last fall after less than a year on the job, whereupon the party's vice chairman, Wayne MacDonald, was called upon to serve. MacDonald's tenure culminated with catastrophic defeats in the 2012 elections.
"I do think Republicans need to have realistic expectations about the power that a chairman has," Cullen said. "People seem to think that the chair has some kind of magic wand. They don't."
This time around, Jennifer Horn seems to have widespread establishment support in the latest race for chairman, while activist Andrew Hemingway appears to be looking to tap into the same support Kimball enjoyed in his victory.
A marked contrast
In 2002, Cullen recalled that Democrats got blown out in elections. Democrats still re-elected Kathy Sullivan as chairwoman, and two years later, the party bounced back to beat an incumbent Republican governor. Similarly, in 2010 Democrats were blown out, but the party still re-elected Ray Buckley as chairman, and two years later, the party saw widespread victories in the 2012 election.
"Politics is ebb and flow, and you have good and bad cycles," Cullen said. "Democrats are clearly more realistic about the macro factors that affect election cycles."
Richard Girard, host of the radio show Girard At Large on WLMW in Manchester, called the position of party chairman thankless. He said Democrats understand the purpose of the party is to elect fellow Democrats.
"[Republicans] need to understand that the purpose of the party is to get members of the party elected," Girard said. "It seems that people wanting to have it their way has gotten in the way of that purpose."
"We have to stop making perfect the enemy of the good," added Girard, who is a former aide to former Manchester Mayor Ray Wieczorek.
The state GOP is now looking for its fifth chairman in six years. That is in stark contrast to the state Democratic party, which has had two chairmen in the last decade. But the constant flux that is the GOP chairmanship hasn't been a case of people not wanting the post. Cullen will be advocating for a by-law to pay the chairman.
"It opens up the field of potential candidates," Cullen said.
"It's very difficult for people who have to work for a living to also man the helm to build that infrastructure and create it as an effective entity," Girard added
The party certainly can't expect to compete year in and year out with volunteers or underpaid staff members, Girard said.
No cues from the top
Republicans haven't held the governor's office since 2004. In the past, the Republican governor would essentially decide who the chairman would be. Cullen said Sununu and former Gov. Steve Merrill picked their chairmen, and he guessed that if Democratic Gov. John Lynch had wanted someone other than Ray Buckley as chairman, somebody else would hold the post.
"Republicans don't have a governor to tell them who to vote for," Cullen said.
Girard said Republicans don't necessarily need a governor, but a better infrastructure.
"For years, the state Republican committee was an organ of whatever the Republican governor who occupied the corner office," Girard said. "It never really developed a stand-alone infrastructure."

Defence Force Pacific Survey
4 May 2017
LINZ will use the results of a New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) survey of the Cook Island waters to update its charts and navigation information.
The NZDF is sending the Royal New Zealand Navy frigate HMNZS TE MANA to the South Pacific this week.
While there it will carry out a hydrographic survey to identify uncharted navigational hazards in Rarotonga and Penrhyn – two of the main islands in the Cook Islands.
"The survey will enable LINZ to update the nautical charts for Rarotonga and Penrhyn and provide mariners with up-to-date information to keep them safe as they navigate around these islands," Stuart Caie, Senior Hydrographic Surveyor at LINZ, said.
Mr Caie said the survey was part of a wider work programme to improve nautical charts in the region.

I was not planning on writing this blog post but seeing that I went back to my home country for the first time since going vegan, it is definitely important for me to reflect on such a unique experience for me. I do not know where to begin but I know that this is going to be a very long post. There are so many things to discuss such as buying food, cooking food and obviously eating with family and friends so I will try my best to compartmentalize my thoughts in the post.
Buying Food
The one thing that made transitioning into a vegan lifestyle as a Ghanaian so easy was the fact that Ghanaian food is based primarily on whole plant food. Very starch based with plantains, cassava, yam, and grains being the basis of our dishes. These starches are accompanied with hearty and flavourful soups or stews that are either tomato based or contain copious amount of cocoyam leaves, which we call kontomire. The best time to travel to Ghana if you really want access to fresh fruits and vegetables is during the rainy season, which occurs between June to August. During this period, mangos are available at every street corner, bananas and watermelon are sold in large quantities, food is cheaper as there is more rains to hydrate plants, and the colours of even the kontomire leaves are more vibrant and a deeper green. All of this made buying food even more enjoyable because the food just looked so much more nutritious.
If you are looking for fresh produce, there is no need to find a supermarket. Supermarkets are generally far more expensive and the produce does not look that great. Your best bet is in a small kiosk or large outdoor markets. The one my family frequents is a large market called Texpo. Here we bought sweet potatoes (white on the outside and inside and hands down the best sweet potato) kontomire leaves, Ghanaian millet for porridge, a ton of mangos, palm nut oil (which has a red vibrant colour and is full of beta carotene), avocados the size of your head and, of course, a ton of black eye peas.
Cooking Food
This was not a problem for me because I had access to a kitchen everyday I was Ghana. Since I was eating Ghanaian food, the family I was staying with did not have any problem. They did ask about what I was cooking and there were the occasional stares concerning my meatless dishes but it was not too much of a problem.
I did bring some food with me but I actually found this quite unneccessary in the end. All I needed was a couple of dates and some almonds for almond milk but non-dairy milks are available in supermarkets in Ghana, so I did not have to go through the problem of making my own milk. I am also a creature of habit so I could have had oats or weetabix every single day and I could be fine or had hausa koko which was pretty much sold at every street corner in the morning.
One neat thing was that I was also able to learn to make some new foods. I spent a few days with one of my childhood friends and I actually even learned some new recipes which I will talk about soon, once I perfect my own recipes
Eating Out with Family and Friends
So this was not really a problem because I cooked most of my meals. But there was one instance where i did have to eat food cooked with fish. When invited to someone's house, they most likely offer you food and I do not want to be rude so i just ate it and removed the fish. Still unsure if there was egg in the food, but it is what it is.
I had a great time eating my childhood favourites from roasted plantain on the side of the road, or my favourite peanut snacks with my favourite soft drink. I was a happy person and honestly eating a diet little in gluten and processed foods, my body was so happy. I feel like if i lived in Ghana, I would probably be the healthiest vegan. There are a ton of vegan options, a ton of rich plant foods and no vegan cakes, donut or ice cream in site to tempt me. I would have also slowed down on the fried foods and soft drink after a while because it would not have been a luxury for me, since they are not available in Canada. Best believe you will find me back in Ghana permanently, very soon.

Setbacks in your writing career are inevitable; giving up as a writer is optional. These tips for overcoming setbacks when you're writing your book will take you beyond the proposal. It's time to venture into the wonderland of signing a publishing contract, writing towards a manuscript deadline, and working with editors on your traditionally published book.
My first book — Growing Forward When You Can't Go Back — is due in less than a month. It's a nonfiction guide to help women walk through loss, into a new season of life. Each of the 10 chapters are inspired by a different Biblical woman's experience with grief, loss, and unimaginable setbacks.
You'd think writing a book about overcoming setbacks would teach you how to deal with setbacks as a writer…but you'd be wrong. But, on the upside, you're in the right (and write) place if you're want to learn how to overcome setbacks in your writing career! Here are my five Blossom Tips for writers facing discouragement and disappointment.
Tell me, fellow scribe, what type of book you're writing. What setback are you facing, and what might help you overcome it? I'd love to hear from you; feel free to scroll past my Blossomy tips and get right into the heart of the story.
The Blossom Tip: Expect setbacks when you're writing a book — they're normal, natural, and even healthy. Read my tips on how to overcome obstacles, pick one or two that resonate with you, and keep working towards your goal of getting published!
You'll learn more from listening to your inner voice and writing through your setbacks than thumbing through my tips. Not that there's anything wrong with my Blossom Tips! It's just that the answers are within you. You know more than you think.
5 Tips for Overcoming Setbacks When You're Writing a Book
My "She Blossoms" blog posts are broken up into five different categories, or Blossom Tips. This ensures I cover the whole gamut: spirit, heart, soul, body, and brain. And, the separate Blossom Tips help you identify which one will help you overcome setbacks when you're writing a book.
For instance, maybe you need a little spiritual TLC (tender loving care) — so the first tip will fire up your faith. Maybe you need emotional or psychological healing (Heart Blossoms) or creative fire (Soul Blossoms). Or maybe you need a kick in the patootie! That's the Body Blossoms tip, for a physical push. And finally…your brain. Maybe you just need to stop, think, and decide the smartest way to overcome a setback when you're writing your book.
Shall we?
1. Spirit Blossoms – Trust the Spirit's Flow
Some writers call it "the muse", others "the universe." Me, I call Him the Holy Spirit. He's the source of all inspiration, wisdom, guidance, and creativity! I listen, He sends ideas. I write them down. Most writers — from unknown bloggers to famous best-selling authors to script writers to show runners — ascribe their ideas to some sort of unknown source of inspiration.
My first tip on how to overcome setbacks when you're writing a book involves showing up so the Spirit can work through you. Yes, you'll still face setbacks. Even prolific Christian authors (John Grisham, I'm looking at you) need to show up at their desks and listen for the Spirit's guidance through the snares, tangles, problems and traps that spring when they're writing books. Overcoming setbacks is simply part of the writing process.
2. Heart Blossoms – Identify the Source of the Setback
Are you coping with writing fears and anxiety? Maybe you're sabotaging yourself, or you're limiting how far you can go as a writer. I did that for years; I chained myself to blogging because I was scared to write books. Well….maybe more lazy than scared. I was making good money as a blogger, I loved the freedom and lack of accountability, and it was easy and fun. I knew I'd be facing setbacks as a writer — not to mention a published book author — so I didn't push myself.
What writing setbacks are you facing that you have control over? You can't control whether your book is accepted by a literary agent or publishing house, but you can control who and how you send your book proposal. You can't control how readers respond to your blog posts, but you can control how often you blog, what you write about, and how you share your message with the world.
3. Soul Blossoms – Find Non-Writing Tips for Overcoming Setbacks
A creative tip for facing and dealing with obstacles when you're writing a book is to apply unrelated strategies to your problem. How, for example, did you deal with an unrelated setback in your normal life? (because writing, as we know, is abnormal). How do you solve a problem in your home, workplace, family, community, or forest?
In How to Overcome Setbacks to Healing a Broken Heart I share tips for overcoming pain after a breakup. Every one of those tips can apply to overcoming setbacks when you're writing a book. When you're searching for solutions to the "writer's obstacles" you face, find creative ways to think about your problem. Bonus: this is a smart way to flex your creative writing muscles.
4. Body Blossoms – Stand Up and Stop Slouching
I stand while writing. My husband rigged me a stand up "desk" — it's just slats of wood fitted together to accommodate my height. I can't sit for long, just because my butt and back gets sore, and I get tired and bored. I also can't fall asleep! I don't get as tired when I'm standing.
How does this help me (and you) overcome setbacks when you're writing a book? I told you, I don't have the answers! You do. Unless, of course, you twigged when I said I don't get tired when I stand and write. I'm more energized, which makes it easier to think about how to get around those writing setbacks.
Speaking of thinking…
5. Brainy Blossoms – Create a Schedule and Stick to It
I've been freelance writing and blogging for 10 years. I thought I was disciplined, until my literary agent Janet Grant told me that after I submit my manuscript on April 2, I'll have to create a marketing schedule — and stick to that plan. In the past, I flitted in and out of plans and schedules as I pleased, because I could (except, of course, when I had external deadlines with magazine editors, online publishers, or writing contest entries).
Sidenote: Janet founded Books & Such Literary Management, which has an excellent blog called Between the Lines.
Use your God-given brains to create a writing schedule that has nothing to do with overcoming setbacks. Just plan how you'll write your book, when you'll steal bits of writing time, and how far you'll get every week. For example, I gave myself one week for every chapter when I first started writing my book (Growing Forward When You Can't Go Back). Then on the second pass, I revised two chapters a week. Now, on my third pass, I'm revising three or four chapters a week. I had no idea if that schedule would work, but hallelujah! It did. I'm humbled and awed by God, for it really is Him.
One last tip on how to overcome setbacks when you're writing a book: meet regularly with other writers, and set up an accountability schedule. Here are a few ideas: 7 Tips for Starting a Writers' Group – Writing Alone, Together.
The Blossom Tip: Expect setbacks when you're writing a book. Develop a plan or strategy for overcoming obstacles so you can pursue your dreams of getting published!
What do you think, fellow scribes? What is your biggest obstacle to writing a book…and how do you plan to overcome it?

Rafeal's BaptismHOLA!
I can't believe that this will be my last email I send out as a missionary.
It still doesn't really feel real. Ahh, but God blessed me with a really
good last week. A REALLY good week. But it was really busy so it went by
way too fast.
First of all Rafeal was baptized!! It was probably the least smooth baptism
of my whole mission haha but it was good he was really happy and that's all
that matters. While the last person was giving the talk all of a sudden we
heard a "gulp gulp gulp." (That's supposed to be a draining sound.) So
Hermana Shannon, Johnson and I booked it into the bathroom to check on the
water and it was only like halfway filled! It had been slowly leaking the
whole time! So we started to freak out a little bit and everyone in the
room could hear us apparently because Obispo came in to check on us and ask
what was going on. Well I was trying to distract him because in the
meantime Hermana Shannon took off like half of her clothes and was diving
in the baptismal font to try to plug the drain again hahaha. Oh man, it was
the funniest thing ever. We were laughing our heads off and saying, "This
would happen to us for our last baptisms." So we had to fill up the font
again and while we were doing that they sang songs in the other room to
wait for us. Luckily God was looking out for us and the font only took
about 20 minutes to fill up instead of like 45. Also Rolando and Rafeal are
both pretty short so we didn't have to fill it up as high :) haha But after
that everything else went smoothly and they were both baptized.
Do yall remember Rolando? Hermana Andrus and I taught him while we were in
Channelview together then he moved to Hermana Shannons area? Well he was
baptized yesterday with Rafael so that was really cool too because I got
to be there for both :)
In other news Hermana Bonar had to get surgery on her foot this week so we
had to drive all the way to Port Arthur on Friday! Perla took us so that
was fun. I enjoyed talking to her. They are doing really well and they are
still excited to prepare to enter the temple in a little less than a year
I just want to leave you all with my testimony. I know that this Church is
true. I know that through obedience we find true happiness. No one is
perfect and we all make mistakes but through the atonement we can be
cleansed. Jesus Christ lives and he is our Savior. God loves us more than
we can imagine. We are literally his children. The Book of Mormon is true.
In its pages we can find peace and patience in trials. It was written just
for us. Families are forever. I love this gospel, I love God and Jesus
Christ and I love all of you. Thank you for all of your support these 18
months. Nothing I can say can express how grateful I am. Happy Birthday
Hermana San Juan
P.S. See you soon :)
I love this family. #Guzmans
We took Rafeal to dinner.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Because I, David Chase Taylor, am currently in the process of applying for political asylum in Switzerland, which is coincidentally home to the CIA, the state-sponsored terror plots and so-called "natural disasters" I expose rarely come to fruition. In short, the Swiss CIA does not want to afford me any more publicity or credibility than they have to, lest they turn me into a modern-day prophet. They also do not want to provide yet another open-and-shut case as to why I deserve political asylum. For those wondering why I would apply for political asylum in Switzerland, consider this: a) I originally applied for asylum in Switzerland on March 8, 2011, roughly 2-years before I discovered that Switzerland was harboring the CIA; and b) the CIA has historically not shat were it eats in Switzerland. That being said, the CIA has now been exposed for the first time in history. Consequently, they are extremely desperate and may attempt to assassinate me Switzerland.
ISIS ENDGAME: How and Why the CIA in Switzerland Created ISIS as Cover for Nuclear and Biological Terror Attacks
RED ALERT: 10 Reasons Why Switzerland is Home to the CIA
David Chase Taylor
June 7, 2015
SWITZERLAND, Zurich — On June 7-8, 2015, President Obama will attend the G7 Summit in Schloss Elmau in Bavaria, Germany. Based on the plethora of Obama assassination plots exposed by Truther.org, it's highly likely that the CIA in Switzerland will attempt to stage an attack on Obama's person while at the summit.
Although an Islamic terrorist attack on Obama is theoretically possible, a sniper attack by a so-called a neo-Nazi or a disgruntled U.S. military veteran is the most likely terror scenario. The propaganda film "American Sniper" (2014), has set the table for this type of attack by a current or former U.S. military sniper—life imitating art.
In what may be cover for a sniper-related attack on the leaders of the G7 Summit, it was reported back on May 21, 2015, that the U.S. military is executing a war game in Germany entitled Combined Resolve IV from May 1, 2015, until June 26, 2015.
Similar to the 9/11 Attacks and the 7/7 London Bombings, state-sponsored terror drills and war games always precede real world attacks. Consequently, Combined Resolve IV may be cover for a Special Forces-related attack on the G7 Summit and/or its high-profile politicians.
In the event that Obama is attacked, it will predictably be reported that Obama died, only to reappear injured or unscathed at a later date. This will be seen as the death and resurrection of Obama, who, politically speaking, has been on life support for quite some time.
An elaborate assassination "event" will do the same for Barack Obamas as it did for one Adolf Hitler. Back on July 20, 1944, Hitler was targeted in an unsuccessful bombing, resulting in 5,000 executions and 7,000 arrests. In the wake of an Obama assassination "event", the attack will be used as an excuse to round up "disloyal" Americans in the U.S. government, bringing about the naked dictatorship of Obama.
Considering Obama's poll numbers are at an all-time low, an assassination event would boost his popularity as well as the Democrats who suffered historic losses in November's election. An attack could also be used to institute some form of martial law, possibly to find the alleged assassin, making every American gun owner a suspect.
The notion that Obama is vulnerable to an attack was recently witnessed on October 3, 2014, when it was revealed the Secret Service allowed a fake congressman to sneak backstage at Obama event in Washington, D.C. Needless to say, the event was staged in order to set the precedent for a similar event that will likely culminate with an attack on Obama's person.
Obama Under Threat
Prior to a high-profile Obama assassination event or terrorist attack his person, the world must be psychologically prepared to accept that this is in fact possible. Fraudulent headlines and fabricated events are a slick way of convincing people that yes, it can happen. As evidenced, Obama-related attacks, threats and security breaches are now at an all-time high which suggests that a state-sponsored attack on Obama or the White House is imminent. Since 2007, there have been over 100 Obama assassination threats and plots in which individuals were either questioned, arrested, detained or convicted for making death threats against Obama. It appears that most if not all of these Obama-related assassination events were staged in order to give the impression that Obama is in tremendous danger, especially due to his race. Whether people like Obama or not, the staged or real assassination of Obama must be stopped at all costs. An assassination event of Obama would ultimately divide America between black and white, Democrat and Republican, and would inevitably cause riots, looting, violence, bloodshed and chaos across America.
Obama Coup Imminent
Prior to an Islamic jihad and/or domestic terrorist attack on Obama or coup of the White House, the world must be convinced through fabricated events that this is in fact possible. Consequently, a number of events regarding Obama have occurred which have set the stage for this impending and unprecedented event. For example, on October 15, 2014, an official from Missouri called for military coup against Obama. The timely and shocking statement was evidently made in order to foreshadow a military-related attack on Obama or the White House. Four months later on February 24, 2015, the Washington Times published a report entitled "U.S. Military Decimated Under Obama, Only 'Marginally Able' to Defend Nation", providing a timely motive for a military coup against Obama. Lastly on March 11, 2015, it was revealed that a major survey found record low confidence in the U.S. government, confirming, albeit in a de facto manner, that the Americans, namely its military, are ready for a change, possibly via a staged coup.
Secret Service in Chaos
In what appears to be pre-Obama assassination programming, The Telegraph published a report on September 29, 2014, entitled "Is Barack Obama's Life Safe in the Secret Service's Hands?". The ominous report was evidently designed to foreshadow that an attack on Obama's person is imminent. With the resignation of Chief Julia Pierson, the director of the Secret Service, on October 1, 2014, the Secret Service has never looked more vulnerable to an attack. Pierson's resignation came in the wake of several security breaches that were designed to set the precedent for an attack on the Obama White House. In what appears to be pre-Obama assassination terror programming, the Huffington Post published a report on October 1, 2014, entitled "Politico Piece Says Obama's Assassination Might Be Only Thing That Could Improve Secret Service". Two days later on October 3, 2014, it was reported that the Secret Service allowed a fake congressman to sneak backstage at Obama event in Washington, D.C., ultimately setting the precedent for a similar event. Roughly a week later on October 9, 2014, a former agent stated that the Secret Service is now in collapse. Needless to say, the aforementioned reports have made the U.S. Secret Service look weak, making the likelihood of an attack on President Obama all the more likely. In order to provide plausible deniability for the U.S. government in the wake of a White House attack, it was reported on November 10, 2014, that the Secret Service has dealt with 40 White House barrier-jumping incidents, a fabricated number to be sure. Three days later on November 13, 2014, it was reported that a fence jumping probe has found problems with the Secret Service. The timely report was designed to show that the Secret Service is weak, making the likelihood of a successful attack on the Obama and/or the White House seem all the more plausible. In more pre-coup programming, it was reported on November 20, 2014, that the Secret Service arrested a woman with a gun outside the White House. The alleged incident occurred shortly after President Obama delivered an address to the nation on immigration, foreshadowing a potential motive for the impending coup. Lastly, on March 11, 2015, it was reported that 2 Secret Service agents crashed into White House barricades after attending a party. The timely report was evidently fabricated by the CIA in order to show Secret Service malfeasance just prior to a lapse in presidential security when Obama is attacked.
FLASHBACK: White House Dinner Assassination Plot
Back on May 2, 2014, Truther.org issued a terror warning in respect to the 2014 White House Correspondences' Association (WHCA) which took place on May 3, 2014. Interestingly, three days later on May 6, 2014, a car allegedly trailing President Obama daughters' motorcade prompted a White House lockdown. What exactly a suspicious car had to do with the White House is not known, but evidently the subsequent lockdown provided the necessary cover needed so that weapons and/or explosives could be removed from the White House premises without drawing any suspicion.
FLASHBACK: MSNBC Assassination Plot
Back on December 4, 2013, Truther.org published a report entitled, "Live TV Obama Assassination "Event" Planned for December 5, 2013 on MSNBC?" in respect to a possible "live" Obama terror event planned for American University (AU). Two weeks later on December 16, 2013, it was reported that American University went into lockdown after an alleged gunman was reported on campus. Predictably, the gunman turned out to be an off-duty police officer but that fact wasn't reported until the entire AU campus was locked down for 2 full hours. The gunman at American University was evidently staged in order to create a major diversion on campus so that intelligence agencies (e.g., the ATF, FBI, CIA, etc.) could dispose of any incriminating evidence (e.g., weapons and/or explosives) planted on campus in preparation for the planned attacks. In order to remove said incriminating evidence without drawing any suspicion from students and staff, a mini-false-flag was executed in order to provide the necessary cover needed to clean-up the now foiled false-flag. In other words, since the terror plots were exposed, a second operation had to be executed under the cover of an emergency in order to tie up loose ends.
FLASHBACK: Smithsonian Assassination Plot
Back on November 20, 2013, Truther.org published a report entitled, "Obama Assassination "Event" May Be Planned for JFK Legacy Dinner at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History". Coincidentally, three days later on November 23, 2013, it was confirmed that an unidentified man fell to his death from the fourth floor railing at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. Whether or not this man was involved in an Obama assassination "event" is not known, but his death is highly suspicious and has all the earmarks of a foiled state-sponsored terror attack.
About the Author
David Chase Taylor is an American journalist and the editor-in-chief of Truther.org, a state-sponsored terror whistle-blower website. Taylor lives in Zurich, Switzerland where he is currently in the process of applying for political asylum since the release of The Nuclear Bible, a book credited with foiling a nuclear terror attack upon Super Bowl XLV in Dallas, Texas on February 6, 2011. Taylor recently authored Greenland Theory: Apocalypse Now, a book and website exposing the true power structure of the world, especially in respect to Greenland and its primary proxy state of Switzerland which is home to the CIA. Taylor has also published The Bio-Terror Bible, a book and website exposing the global bio-terror pandemic planned for 2015. To date, Taylor has blown the whistle on over 100 state-sponsored terror plots, including the 2012 Democratic National Convention Terror Plot, the 2011 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot, the 2014 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot, the Terrorgate Scandal, the 2014 Memorial Day Massacre, the man-made asteroid attack planned for 2014, and the drone strike which killed "Fast and Furious" star Paul Walker. Taylor was also the first to expose Alex Jones' treacherous links to STRATFOR and is noted for the 10 reasons why the Rosetta Comet landing was a hoax.

Truther.org Legal Disclaimer
Truther.org's stated purpose is to stop terrorism by drawing unwanted global attention to terror plots prior to their fruition. Terror alerts and warnings made by Truther.org DO NOT necessarily imply that these terror events will transpire in reality but rather that there is a distinct possibility that they may occur based on breaking terror-related news, events and data. Historically speaking, once a major false-flag terror plot is exposed, it is immediately canceled, postponed, or reworked (e.g., the 2011 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot, the 2014 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot, the 2014 Freedom Tower Nuclear Terror Plot, etc.). State-sponsored acts of terror must have a prior paper trail in order to set-up patsies, prime scapegoats, create plausible deniability, and mislead the public from the usual suspects of terror which work at the behest of the CIA in Switzerland. Please support real citizen journalism and help make terrorism a thing of the past. Blessed are the Peacemakers. Namaste

Washington, DC - American Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr., will be traveling to the Czech Republic from April 21-25 as a State Department Sports Envoy, part of the Department's effort to strengthen people-to-people ties as part of U.S. Embassy Prague's year-long Centennial Celebration of U.S.-Czech relations.
In partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Czech Baseball Association, Ripken will travel to the cities of Prague, Pilsen, and Brno to conduct clinics for kids, meet with coaches and local officials, and hold public discussions on the game of baseball.
During the visit, Ripken will introduce the sport of baseball and donate baseball equipment to Roma communities in Prague. He will also meet with the Czech Olympic Committee and open a baseball exhibit at the famous Pilsen Brewery.
"This is an exciting trip and I'm honored to have the opportunity to teach the game I love, while embracing the culture of the Czech Republic. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning more about how we can help grow the game of baseball internationally," said Ripken.
In addition to his role as Major League Baseball's special adviser to the commissioner on youth programs and outreach, Ripken was also named an "American Public Diplomacy Envoy" by the State Department in 2007. In this capacity he has previously engaged with youth, public audiences and government leaders in the countries of China, Japan, and Nicaragua.

Does it compare to the Millenium camp in terms of wet and windy?
We did not camp this w/e for a variety of reasons, but I was thinking of you all. Katie, I was really thinking of you, as the wind howled and trees were coming down locally!
all in all it is just another brick in the wall

Well there is a first.... it seems to me that Scotland had better weather than the rest of the UK - I know that in Glasgow we had only very small showers over the weekend and bright sunshine on Saturday and Sunday.
[here endith the "rubbing it in"]
Just got back from a joint-group camp at Ferny Crofts with about 40 cubs/scouts. It was cold and wet but definetely not the wetest camp this year... (Unfortunately for this one I didn't have bed inside )
But everyone enjoyed themselves despite the rain and only one cub taken home ill.
Now, time for "debrief"
ours went pretty well on saturday, but the decision was made on sunday afternoon that we would evacuate the nearly 1000 scouts and cubs. what a coincedence that exactly the same happened at millenium camp! apart from the fact we had to evacuate at 2 in the morning then! as a group we didnt loose any tents but a fair few of the other groups did! utter destruction, mess tents and marquees down! even the tiolets fell over! not nice when they were full! no emergencies! all went smoothly , apart from me being woken up in the middle of the night with one of my cubs outside my tent crying her eyes out saying she had lost her fork! turned out she was sleep walking as she didnt remember anything about it in the morning!
hope other camps went ok too!

Welcome back everyone! It sounds like it was quite a rough weekend!
As long as no-one woke up without their tents i'd say it's an all round success
We were quite lucky in that our camp was only Friday to Sunday - we were originally finishing at 2 on Sunday so to get the parents to come early was not too much different.

we camped friday to today. the weather was not bad on saturday but sunday it was terrible. wind and rain. alot of the activites were stoped, or in one case, a marque was evacuated and if the weather got worse through the night we were all gunna get airlifted out to a close by military airfield for the night. thankfully it wasnt too bad and today the weather brightend up. we had over 2000 people on sight with 400 beavers visiting over saturday and sunday. was a brill camp and im now addicted to making turks head woggles pics and a small video on our group page, link in my sig
Got back from Humberside's Centenary Camp at Driffield we had 1700 camping including 250 Beavers.
Rained all day Sunday but the rest of the weekend weather was OK.
We had Radio Humberside on site all weekend with the BBC Bus, reporters camping with groups and live links on the Radio.
A number of Scout Networkers from GYCNET in where invested live on air!!!
JJ and the crew from GYCNET built a 10 x 40 metre replica of the Humber Bridge as the stage area.

Just finished filling the HQ with a mass of sodden canvas, hopefully it will be dry by the weekend!
We had 60 Scouts, 60 Cubs and 60 Beavers on our district activity camp. I was the Activity Leader for the rockets (real rockets that the Scouts and Cubs had to build with motors and an electrical ignition systems - chip cones with motors for the Beavers) it was a big hit especially with the Beavers. I am now a bit hoarse from yelling "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - Don't run after it" or "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - DUCK" when a fin came off and the rocket shot across the field. Launched 90 in 3 hours on Sunday afternoon!
Had the whole family with me on this camp as the wife is a Beaver Leader and I have a son and daughter in Scouts, son in Cubs and daughter about to join Beavers. Has anyone else just eaten dinner with the whole family singing the new songs they learnt at the camp fire? A real family bonding weekend even if we only saw each other for a couple of minutes at a time!
Pity we have to wait so long for the next centenary camp.

I'm another one to have been camping in scotland. I hadn't realised the extent of the bad weather everywhere else. We had a glorious saturday and it rained on sunday, enough to soak the canvas but not to need evacuation.
We went over to Sconce campsite near Baildon (near Bradford ish) and the weather was fine for the weekend except for some showers on suday morning. Didn't realise how lucky we'd been until I read about some of the camps in the South.

American voters have become attuned enough to decipher long range plans whose goal is to mudsling and besmirch the sterling reputation of others. This is exactly what the Republican Party has conspired to do against the presidential aspirations of Hillary Clinton. Armed with Fox News to do their bidding, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy orchestrated a blatant smear campaign based on conspiracy theories about the events around Benghazi. He choose Trey Gowdy to lead this onslaught against truth. Witness the massive backlash that has some people calling for prison terms for those at the top of this card house of lies.
New York Times to the Rescue
Journalists of the higher order have been following these developments and have come forward to shine light on these events. One such institution is the New York Times Editorial Board which weighed in recently on this. They called for the Republican party to "Shut Down the Benghazi Committee" or to dub it for what it really is. Likening it to an inquisition, their misplaced zeal has lost credibility in attempting to erroneously place the deaths of four Americans at the doorstep of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Grave Consequences
Next up to the spotlight is the Washington Post that exposed more of these back room dealings by the Republicans. As one remembers, Trey Gowdy is the Chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi. The venerable capitol newspaper illuminated links between him and the Stop Hillary PAC whose one purpose is to derail the presidential bid of the Democrat. This tandem has stooped low enough to use images of Ambassador Steven's resting place without contest nor permission from his family. How can a pursuit for truth be spearheaded by a person whose affiliations are so slanted in one direction?
Tunnel Vision
A hard hammer blow to the credibility of Trey Gowdy came from one of his own. Bradley Podliska was one of the investigators on the Benghazi who had to file a lawsuit and seek damages for defamation. Citing both improper and illegal termination, the former staffer revealed key revelations about the real motivations of the committee. Tunnel vision was almost exclusively present as they solely focused on Hillary Clinton and the State Department. Other agencies that were involved escaped scrutiny where culpability might have been present.
What we have before the American people is a spin doctor tangled in his own web. Trey Gowdy has affiliations with a Super PAC who slants him far from the truth. He has the vision to bring the torches to Fox News to drum up the mob mentality against Hillary Clinton. Finally, allegations from staffers about tunnel vision and altered documents have cast a pall over his credibility. The American public still is free thinking that when presented with the light of truth to see through the fog woven by those that have an agenda. Know what Trey Gowdy is and what his Benghazi Committee purpose is to avoid going down his rabbit hole of deception.

Roxana Suarez La Rosa was arrested for PIP fraud, according to an April 28 release by the Florida Department of Financial Services' Division of Insurance Fraud.
Suarez La Rosa owned and operated the Saint Jose Injury Center in Jacksonville that was behind a string of staged auto accidents, according to witnesses. Crash participants were asked to sign for medical services they never received, which were then billed to insurance companies. More than 50 insurance claims were generated in the alleged scam. Billing amounts were not disclosed.
If convicted, Suarez La Rosa faces up to 50 years in prison on racketeering and fraud charges. Additional cases against the medical clinic are pending.
The Office of the State Attorney in the 4th Judicial Circuit of Florida, which covers Duval, Clay and Nassau Counties, is handling the case.

The Search for Meaning
Today I was reading an excerpt from Viktor Frankl's wonderful book 'Man's Search for Meaning'.
I first read the book in the early 60s as the result of a recommendation by a psychiatrist friend of mine John Roberts (see 'Disordered Lives' John Roberts and Douglas Hooper 1967) and it had a profound effect on me.
As I remember it, Frankl is relating his experience of being in a Nazi concentration camp and reflects, quite naturally, on finding meaning. All around him people were dying as a result of Nazi atrocities but, he observed, some just simply turned over and died. So why did he survive that terrible experience and those others, not killed by the Nazis, didn't survive? He concludes that it was because he had found meaning and, in his case, the meaning was by thinking about his family, and his loved ones, as they might be, in the present. He didn't know if they were living or dead, but it was important to his thinking that they were living now. In other words, in spite of his miserable existence, he had meaning. Those who turned over and died he suggests did not have that meaning.
Immediately of course many people would want to use the examples of religious belief or some philosophy as their answer to finding meaning and, yes, I have met the isolated, the chronically ill, and the dying who have been buoyed up by such beliefs but there are other factors involved too.
Having meaning can arise however from all kinds of activities but there are different levels, A hobby, doing some sort of administration, writing a blog (!) gives a level of meaning to life, but it is really only when human interpersonal relationship becomes involved that meaning carries with that important element of depth.
The club, the organisation, group activity, yes and even sometimes daily work takes the person up to a new level. Connecting with people on a face to face level leading to things like congratulation, appreciation, thanks, engagement, questioning, evaluation, all giving that sense of purpose and meaning. Even a measured amount of stress is beneficial so long as the other positive elements are not lost in the process. So those who are unemployed, shut in, aged, geographically isolated have less of a chance to know this element of meaning – they might be Frankl's 'turn over and die' people but they are likely also to be the depressed, and the regular attenders at medical centres. The Marmot Report 'Fair Society, Healthy Lives' (2010) highlighted how social interaction was crucial to good health and the work of the Campaign to End Loneliness has shown that loneliness and isolation have the same physical dangers as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Since the elderly are more likely to experience this isolation and loss of meaning it could be argued that organised social interaction of some form is not just a useful form of leisure activity for people who like that sort of thing but should be seen as an essential prerequisite to accompany the many benefits society provides for them, and thus enable them to be more healthy at the same time.
Viktor Frankl's experience, however, points to something more fundamental, namely that it was the experience of love within the family which gave him ultimate meaning. I hope that he would be willing to define 'family' in wider terms today, but to concentrate on the essence of what he was saying is to focus on how love and commitment enable us to be truly human and give us that meaning which we all need. Of course being human is also a problem for us, it is a flawed humanity which can create just as much problems within relationships as it solves. However not to take the risk of creating such relationships deprives us of that deeply satisfying feeling of meaning.
Our problem in todays world is that we don't have the time or , perhaps it is the desire, to take that risk, but not to do so has repercussions on our feeling of personal meaning and therefore our well being too. This must have relevance just as much to those who are elderly as it does to the young. Giving up on creating deep relationships is, to put it plainly, nothing short of death!
So there is a clear need here for counselling but the role of voluntary organisations is crucial here too in being enabled to provide opportunities and occasions for deep meaningful social contacts. The end result will therefore be better health and also that sense of meaning which we all crave.

Scarlet Santana is going after her dream of making it big in the fashion world. The Santana's are a family of engineers. Scarlet's parents and two siblings, can't understand her decision to forgo her two advanced degrees to work in fashion.
Scarlet runs a very popular blog called Daisy Forever.com (magical musings about love, beauty & fashion inspired by the life of Daisy de la Flora)
She is finally accepted into an exculsive design program in NYC, that's been known to launch careers. The program which was orignally started by Daisy de la Flora is now being run by her nephew, Johnny "Scissors" Tijeras.
To pay for the program Scarlet teaches a small group of students how to sew without using patterns. One of her students is Mary Theresa, a workaholic that wants everything done her way. Mary Theresa hopes taking this class will help her marriage.
Scarlet made this story for me. I really liked her determination and it was obvious how much she loved fashion. Her blog entries were great.
"My Nana Eleanor, an educated activist for all thing threaded, woven, and stitched, taught me early on that every curve of a woman's body has a three part novella to tell. And to fully appreciate the fleshy package God gave us, we must tune in measuring tape in hand to discover the tragedies and triumphs that exist from the top of our tresses to the edges of our toenails. I sure did. My body's secrets made me sob as much as cheer. I empowered myself to dissect my frame and stitch my own wardrobe from scratch. "
Mary Theresa is at first closed off to Scarlet's offer of friendship, eventully welcomes it. Scarlet's small sewing class gets very close. They wants to see Scarlet succeed and they all do what they can to make that happen.
Once again I enjoyed the male leads Cano- Murillo has created. Marco the record shop owner who can't bring himself to tell Scarlet how he feels about her. Hadley is Mary Theresa's husband and stay at home dad. They were both nice, supportive and wanted the relationships to work.
Miss Scarlet's School of Patternless Sewing was a very enjoyable read that made want to seek out some kind of crafty class and I am not a crafty girl.

There's nothing quite like a good put-down. For a polemicist the put-down is a vital tool of the trade, and can win hearts and minds just as well as a good argument: putting both together can amount to a powerful tool of persuasion. Some might regard put-downs as nothing other than a bit of funny or offensive ad hominen, attacking a person rather than an argument. However, when used after an argument is defeated the put-down becomes a rather marvellous debating strategy.
The Times newspaper carried a great feature today on the art of political put-downs, and I thought it was a good topic for today
One wonderful put-down I read comes from 50 odd years ago when Bessie Braddock, a rather fat politician, attacked Winston Churchill: "Mr Churchill, this is a disgrace. You are drunk." To which Churchill wonderfully replied: "And you, madam, are ugly. As for my condition, it will pass by the morning. You, however, will still be ugly."
The great thing about this put-down is not just that it is funny and rude, but is quick-witted and timed perfectly. This sort of put-down wouldn't work if Churchill had given the reply 15 minutes later: only an immediate reply would have had the impact. Churchill's put-downs are legendary and some suspect his retorts were not impromptu at all, but carefully thought out beforehand and loaded into his cavernous brain to wait for the right moment when they could jump out and smack someone right in the face. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's the skill in making them sound ad-lib that helps give them power.
Another wonderful put-down came from Benjamin Disraeli about his arch-rival William Gladstone in bygone years. When asked to distinguish between a misfortune and a calamity he replied: "If Gladstone fell into the Thames, that would be a misfortune. If anybody pulled him out, that, I suppose, would be a calamity." Ouch. A put-down doesn't need to be given to the person you're, umm, "putting down," and can actually have more effect as a result, as it comes with an air of "you're not even worth talking to directly." After all, there's little worse than being present in a room hearing other people talk about you as if you aren't there.
A few others from Churchill are worth mentioning:
Describing Clement Attlee, who interrupted his reign as Prime Minister, as "A sheep in sheep's clothing," and "A modest man with much to be modest about. But, my favourite Churchill putdown of all time is his response to an aide who knocked on his toilet door and told him that the Lord Privy Seal wanted to see him: "Tell the Lord Privy Seal I am sealed in my privy, and can only deal with one shit at a time."
Wonderful, I must remember that one, "Stephen you're dad's on the phone." "Yeah, well tell him to ring back later, I'm on the toilet and can only deal with one shit at a time." Fantastic.
Of course, with a put-down you can attack someone for being ugly, horrible, fat, or whatever; but my favourite put-down, and the one you will see most often in my own articles is a put-down aimed at someone's intelligence. Jonathan Aitken once attacked Margaret Thatcher's lack of knowledge about the Middle East with this witty offering: "She probably thinks Sinai is the plural of sinus".
The Times noted that most of the best put-downs are in the past and modern day politicians and commentators are bit tame by comparison, which might well be true and another bad consequence of a growing politically correct culture. It's a pity. I love put-downs, and one of the reasons why I like to write articles directly in reply to someone is because it gives me a great opportunity to use one, or a few.
I think my favourite political putdown comes from Australian MP Fred Daly who, in the Aussie parliament, once said "half the honourable gentlemen on the other side of the house are halfwits." When he was told to retract his statement he did so: "I retract, half the honourable gentlemen on the other side of the house AREN'T halfwits."
I thought I'd end by throwing this open to our readers: any good put-downs, political or general?

Washington, D.C. Sedation Dentistry and other Dental Technology – Equipment for Advanced Dentistry
Revive is pleased to offer patients advanced dentistry using some of the most sophisticated technology available, which distinguishes us among other dental practices in the Washington, D.C., Bethesda, Alexandria, and Chevy Chase areas. Sedation dentistry, K7 Evaluation for TMJ treatment, and SimPlant® technology are just a few of the options we offer to make treatment more comfortable and effective than ever before. To learn more about how dental technology can enhance your next dental visit, contact our cosmetic dentistry practice today.

Sedation Dentistry
Anxiety-free dental care…does that sound too good to be true? Now it can be a reality, thanks to sedation dentistry, otherwise known as sleep dentistry. Available at Revive for patients in Washington, D.C., Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Alexandria, and surrounding communities, sedation dentistry allows patients to receive dental treatment with virtually no anxiety or discomfort.Â
How does sedation dentistry work?
Dr. Shila Yazdani and Dr. Michael M. Mortazie provide sedation dentistry by means of oral sedatives. Patients simply take a small pill an hour or two before their appointments. The sedative produces a deeply relaxed yet conscious state so that patients arrive for treatment tranquil and relaxed. Most patients hardly notice when the anesthesia is administered at the beginning of the appointment. The patient is completely relaxed yet conscious during the procedure so that he or she can respond to simple commands. Patients can return home after their appointments and relax for the rest of the day, and many patients have little to no memory of the procedure.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Many patients from Chevy Chase and surrounding communities visit our Washington, D.C. practice for sedation dentistry because of its numerous advantages. It is extremely helpful for patients who have avoided necessary dental treatment, since they can trust that their experiences will be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Patients can also receive multiple procedures in one sitting, since the sedative's prolonged effect allows dentists to perform treatments in long, uninterrupted sessions.Â
K7 Evaluation System
The K7 Evaluation System is used to help relieve myofacial pain dysfunction and other TMJ symptoms by precisely diagnosing the cause of the symptoms. The K7 system uses the following equipment:
Computerized Mandibular Scanning (CMS)
CMS assesses the functionality of the jaw joint by precisely measuring the rotation of the jaw, deterioration of the joint, and quality of occlusion. This detailed assessment allows a dentist to determine the whether the TM joint is causing the disorder.
Electromyography (EMG)
EMG uses surface electrodes placed on the skin to measure the activity of the facial muscles. Facial muscles that are overactive may play a role in TMJ tension and pain.
Sonography measures sounds made by the TMJ system as the jaw moves. The sonographic technique accommodates intra-capsular interference to produce a more accurate diagnosis.Â
Transcutaneous Electro Neural Stimulation (TENS)
The TENS system was specifically designed for treating neurological and myofacial pain. Through electrodes placed near the ears, the TENS system delivers mild electric impulses that relax the jaw and facial muscles. When the muscles are relaxed, facial pain is reduced, and a doctor can more accurately determine the optimal occlusion of the bite.Â
Revive is pleased to provide SimPlant® technology, which allows our dentists to provide computer-guided placement of dental implants. The SimPlant® system provides digital 3D images of the teeth and facial structure, which an implant dentist uses to plan the placement prior to surgery. This represents a significant advance over previous methods, which only provided two-dimensional X-ray images that did little to prepare a dentist for surgery. Now, SimPlant® technology makes placement of implants extremely accurate and precise.Â
The Wand
Studies suggest that about 8 percent of adults fear the needle prick of the syringe used to administer some anesthetics. The Wand is a welcome solution to this problem, since it allows anesthesia to be delivered more comfortably and effectively. It does this in two ways. First, it provides a flow of anesthetic ahead of the needle, which numbs the mouth tissues before the needle touches them. Second, it minimizes pressure by regulating the flow of the painkiller. The Wand also often reduces the amount of anesthetic necessary, thus minimizing numbness of the face, tongue, and lips. Our Washington, D.C. practice uses the Wand with sedation dentistry, to place white fillings, to place porcelain veneers, and with other treatments requiring anesthesia.Â
DIAGNOdent® Laser Cavity Detection
With DIAGNOdent® laser cavity detection, gone are the days of uncomfortable poking and prodding to find tooth decay. Dentists can now detect cavities with great accuracy using this quick, easy method. The DIAGNOdent® laser highlights tooth decay – even decay hidden below the tooth's surface – so that dentists can fill cavities early on. The procedure is comfortable and painless, and it requires no x-rays. Contact our practice for more information on using DIAGNOdent® cavity detection as part of your next dental exam.Â
Serving Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Alexandria-area Patients – Contact Revive for Sedation Dentistry
If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, outstanding sedation dentistry, TMJ treatment, implant dentistry, and other options are readily available at Revive. Our dentists provide technologically advanced care with your comfort in mind. To schedule an appointment or a complimentary consultation, contact our cosmetic dentistry practice today.Â
