the designs are so fresh & delightful and the company creates with integrity. i especially like the carrie collection and the egg teal collection.ReplyDelete
Agreed with the above comment. My favorite is a tie between the George and the Carrie collections!ReplyDelete
Wow! Such beautiful designs! It is a hard choice because I love the modern design and the owls in the Egg collections, but I think my favorite has to be the Carrie collection. The shoes just make me happy!ReplyDelete
After much mental debate, I must go for the Carrie collection. There is just something all girls like about shoes!ReplyDelete
the carrie collection is totally cute!ReplyDelete
I love the egg teal! so cute!ReplyDelete
I love the George design, and it's my favorite color!ReplyDelete
I adore the george collection. I would love to create a nursery around the lively green of the design.ReplyDelete

The Story of OilBud Oil Coolers
The days of sacrificing the sleek lines and design style of a Harley-Davidson in the name of keeping oil temps cooler are gone. Perhaps the reluctance to bolt the traditional radiator style oil cooler to the down-tube or the front of the frame has turned some Harley owners away and allowed them to write off the importance of oil as a coolant. Bud Clarke understood the significance of regulating oil temps after working with experimental aircraft; you cannot just pull over and cool down! Knowing cooling power is so important… but placement was vital to aesthetics, he had to come up with a work around. So, by design, the OilBud is mounted up and in between the frame rails*. What this means is, it will not take away from the classic feel of your Harley Davidson unlike other oil coolers on the market. Even more importantly, the placement allows a significantly larger cooling surface than is afforded by the conventional cooler. (The OilBud inter-cooler efficiently delivers a 35°- 45°F oil cooling differential between the hot and cold side of the OilBud system.) When installing OilBud, you will see Bud's attention to detail in working with your Harley's design, effectively maximizing its performance, and in the end, protecting your investment.
In The Beginning
Bud Clarke, owner of Bud's Biker Parts, wasn't content to let oil temps on his 2005 Harley Softail run at 250°F (newer Harleys up to 300°F) and risk engine trouble. One day when walking by an experimental airplane he was building at one of his businesses – Air-Ryder (Clarke Manufacturing Inc.) – a thought struck Clarke: If the oil cooler he designed for this turbo charged inter-cooled airplanes could cool oil temps from 300°F to under 200°F, certainly he could design something for his Softail Harley.
The Inspiration
Inspired by aircraft technology, the OilBud™ oil cooler is built from aircraft quality materials, braided stainless hoses, 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion and welded in header tank assembly. The temperature regulator starts to open when oil temps hit 185°F and fully opens at 200° F. Temperature differentials from the cold to the hot side of the cooler have been measured between 35°-45°F.
The durable OilBud™ oil cooler fits between the frame rails of your Harley, and once mounted under the motorcycle, it is virtually undetectable. It is designed for 1999-2016 model years Harley Touring, Harley Tri Glide (same mounting as the Touring model), 2000-2016 Harley Softail, including ABS models, 1999-2016 Harley Dyna* and on all the NEW liquid-cooled engines. It is easily installed with no major retrofits required. The OilBud™ cooler element does not hang below the frame rails on the Touring, Tri-Glide or Softail.
*Due to Dyna frame design, the cooler element cannot go between the frame rails. However, it is higher than the scrap guard that protects the engine crank-case. Because of the durability of the OilBud™ and how it is mounted to the bike, the rear cooler element on the Dyna makes for a great jack point!
What are the costs to your engine when oil gets too hot and breaks down?
Engine overheating can lead to catastrophic results. "Inadequate cooling" is a major contributing factor that can lead to detonation and pre-ignition (for more on this, read: Engine Basics: Detonation and Pre-Ignition.) With OilBud, Harley-Davidson owners no longer have to take the chance of running hot oil temps, being on the side of the road from an unnecessary break down, or having to shell out thousands of dollars on costly engine repairs. Cooler oil temperatures mean longer engine life for your motorcycle.

Greetings, readers, and to my fellow Americans, happy Thanksgiving! I certainly had a pleasant one this year, spent with friends rather than family, and more importantly, I've taken some time off work to give myself a five day weekend, during which time I'm hoping to get some serious modeling work done.
Going through the rules for Broken Legions, I'm finding myself not wowed by them - certainly not the immediate, viscerally-positive reaction I felt during my first read throughs of Frostgrave and Lion Rampant. I think I'm going to have to give them a play-through or two to really see if they're for me or not. That being said, I'm revisiting Lion Rampant (I might be getting Dragon Rampant as a Christmas gift, which is the only reason I've held off thus far on buying a copy) and I downloaded the PDF version of Wargaming Soldiers and Strategy magazine issue 82, which has a Bronze Age variant, "Chariot Rampant." As some of you may recall, back in 2014 I made a rather large order from Wargames Factory, before they went belly-up. Among what I bought were a box of Greek Hoplites, a box of Fantasy Amazons, and enough Achaemenid Persians to choke the Hot Gates.
Shields will be glued into place after they're painted.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to get out the box of Amazons and assemble a unit of them; in a game I'd probably field them as Fierce Foot or similar in Lion/Chariot/Dragon Rampant. After that I'd like to start on a couple units of Persians, but we'll see how much free time I end up having this weekend. I'm envisioning them as the backbone of a "fiery sorcerer from the eastern deserts" type Dragon Rampant retinue, supporting an elemental-summoning sorcerer and backed by things like cockatrices or manticores.
The weather should be nice enough to prime this weekend too - I'm looking forward to painting these guys once the Challenge begins.

A Word From Steve Jones
May 18th, 2020
Don't Miss This Year's Atlantic Canada's Mission Conference at Mount Saint Vincent University at 166 Bedford Highway, Halifax, NS. Check the web site to see the Speakers and Schedule.
(click on the above banner for information)
A Word from Steve Jones
Dear Pastors, Missionaries, Chaplains and Friends,
Steve here…Recently, I found myself standing in a beat up clinic in very rural Cambodia looking into the mouth of an elderly woman whose teeth and gums were jet-black. I felt a little squeamish. I'm not the best at visiting the dentist. What an experience.
Early this month I visited Fellowship International missionaries Oeut and Nhep Pech (Rosemont, Montreal) who are serving the Lord in the Kampang-Chan district of Cambodia.
Nhep is a professional dentist who is using a mobile dental clinic (funded by FAIR) to reach villagers for Christ. Since starting in 2009, the Pechs have treated 4,527 rural patients in eight provincial districts. Thirty-six health centres have been visited in 17 villages with their mobile dental clinic—many, multiple times. The gospel is presented to each patient and those who make professions of faith receive follow up two weeks later by the Pechs and a Cambodian pastor.
These are then integrated into a small group and go through the "Firm Foundations" discipleship material every two weeks with the hopes of establishing a future church.
In three years three churches have been established in the Bosknor Village, Ta Neng Village and Kantoot Village. They have all become affiliated with the Khmer Evangelical Church of Cambodia (230 churches) and each has a pastor supported by the Pechs. Two other cell groups are currently meeting with hopes of becoming churches.
Nhep is a professor at the Regional Dental College that is currently training about 150 future dentists. The Pechs have had the joy of seeing 29 of their dental students come to Christ and meet each Thursday evening to disciple them. Five of them live in the Pech's home.
I had the delight and privilege to baptize nine of these dental students along with three other adult converts from the Bosknor and Ta Neng Churches. It is a memory I'll never forget.
The Pechs also sponsored the drilling of a water-well in the Bosknor Village which has increased the health of the villagers. I heard this first hand, in separate visits with "His Excellency" the Governor of Kampang-Chan Province and the Minister of Health. Their greatest concern is the health of their people and desired me to express their great appreciation to the Fellowship for sending the Pechs to perform these mobile dental health clinics (the only one of its kind in Cambodia). They personally asked that we continue to keep them here to help. On behalf of the Fellowship, I assured them we would. The Pechs have great favour with the Governor and government departments. Nhep has known the Governor as a friend since 1979. In fact, he recently gave them a plot of land in the Ta Neng Village to build a church facility for this brand new church. However, funds will need to be found to build this church as these poor villagers live on next to nothing. But imagine, a Buddhist Governor releasing free land for a Christian church. Sounds like the Spirit of God is at work in Cambodia!
Please pray for Oeut and Nhep as they continue to serve the Lord and our churches in the spiritually needy country of Cambodia—a nation of 14 million with about 200,000 evangelical believers. Missions started in the 1920s and by the mid-1970s there were 25,000 known believers. The Khmer Rouge Communist Regime martyred 80% of the church and almost all pastors in the "killing Fields". The growth of the evangelical church since the 1990s has been encouraging. Pray for Cambodia.
January 14th, 2013
Dear Pastors, Missionaries, Chaplains and Friends,
Steve here…I mentioned at our Fellowship 48 national convention in November that I wanted to challenge all of us to exercise great faith in 2013. Our theme verse for 2013 is 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV): "We live by faith, not by sight."
"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see." (Hebrews 11:1).
It is the confidence that God is going to fulfill what He promised to begin in my life. Faith is getting on with the process of seeing God's plan established in my life. But, before a dream can happen, I've got to make a decision. I exercise faith I choose to step forward with a decision. And our decisions eventually shape us and define us. Decision-making is critical.
So how do I make wise "faith-filled" decisions? I can start by asking someone who had to make a similar decision. Talk to a friend who knows your weaknesses. Ask for advice. Proverbs 24:6 (NLT) tells us, "…victory depends on having many counselors".
Henry Ford was asked, "What's the secret to success?" and his answer was, "Wise decisions." How do we learn to make wise decisions? Often through our own experience. And too often it's through our stupid decisions.
The wise learn from the experiences of others. We don't have to learn everything from our own personal experience. Life is far too short to have to learn everything from our own failures.
Let's learn to ask advice to gain others' wisdom.
However, the problem is that too often we would rather appear wise, than be wise. We think if we ask for advice we may look foolish or incompetent. Pride stops us from asking others for advice.
How does God feel about pride? Listen to Him:
· "I hate pride." (Proverbs 8:13)
· "Pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18)
· "Pride ends in humiliation while humility brings honour." (Proverbs 29:23)
Humility enables us to ask for advice and learn from others' experiences. Who wants to repeat all the stupid, silly things they experienced? Something to ponder as you think about what the Lord might be calling you to do in 2013.
Have a blessed week,
Our 2013 Fellowship theme verse is:
"We live by faith, not by sight."

Dear Pastors, Missionaries, Chaplains and Friends,
Steve here…I can't believe I ate the whole thing! Christmas and New Year's celebrations are over and many of us stood on the weigh-scale this past week. Gulp! Why do I love "turkey stuffing" so much?! It's time to shed some weight as we begin the new year. But is that the only "weight" we need to be careful of?
Listen to Hebrews 12:1b (NLT): "…let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us."
Many of us are being hindered by a "weight" that we have not adequately dealt with. In fact, we have gotten used to it. We've stopped seriously battling it and it is "slowing us down" (Heb. 12:1). For a few of us it has meant a dead stop in the growth and progress of our spiritual life. God says focus on it, and then, get rid of it. It may be a habit, a hobby, a past time or even a relationship that we need to get rid of. If we're going to dedicate ourselves wholly to God, it will mean we will have to dump some excess weight. A lot of things are necessarily wrong in our lives, but they're not really necessary. A lot of things keep us from our best.
What's weighing you down? What do you need to get rid of so that your dedication to God might be complete? Be bold. Be humble. Be proactive. May 2013 be the year you gain victory over that area of sin that consistently weighs you down.
Have a blessed week,
Our 2013 Fellowship theme verse is:
"We live by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7

"There was no Muslim amongst the 11 ISI agents caught in Bhopal (yesterday). One of them is a BJP member. Modi bhakts, think something," Digvijay said in a tweet.
The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had picked up one person from Satna, five from Gwalior, three from Bhopal and two from Jabalpur in connection with the racket.
"Terrorist is a terrorist for us. Dacoit is a dacoit and traitor is a traitor to us," state BJP chief Nandkumar Chauhan told reporters.

Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with GodWritten by Timothy Keller Reviewed By Matthew W. Manry
Pastor Timothy Keller has continued his excellent trend of providing both practical and theologically sound material for Christians. In this book, Keller explores the topic of prayer by analyzing the theological, experiential, and methodological aspects of this practice (p. 1). Keller is clear from the outset about his intended goal. He notes, "This book will show that prayer is both conversation and encounter with God" (p. 5).
In part 1, Keller discusses the importance of desiring to pray. He says: "We are not called to choose between a Christian life based on truth and doctrine or a life filled with spiritual power and experience. They go together" (pp. 16–17). This is one of the main arguments of the book. As Christians, we should see religious experience and sound theology standing in concord rather than as conflicting opponents. According to Keller, "Prayer is awe, intimacy, struggle—yet the way to reality. There is nothing more important, or harder, or richer, or more life altering" (p. 32). Simply put, prayer is a way of life.
Part 2 focuses on understanding prayer. One of the greatest insights from this section was when Keller says: "Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him" (p. 48). This is why Christians must be immersed in God's Word constantly. Knowledge of the Word enables Christians not only to meet with God but also to encounter Him. As Keller notes, "Prayer turns theology into experience" (p. 80).
In part 3, Keller considers the importance of learning how to pray. By discussing some of the great works on prayer by Augustine of Hippo, John Calvin, and Martin Luther, Keller shows how Christians can benefit from reading and meditating on the words of wisdom handed down from these great Christian teachers. These chapters are invaluable and are worth extended reflection. Keller then shifts to a very practical discussion of the Lord's Prayer. Keller dissects the prayer section by section and shows why Christians would be wise to keep Matthew 6:9–13 central in their lives. Keller concludes this section with a brief overview of what prayer entails and what it does to us as we are engulfed in its practice.
Part 4 focuses on deepening prayer. In this section, Keller discusses Christian meditation. He says, "Meditation is spiritually 'tasting' the Scripture—delighting in it, sensing the sweetness of the teaching, feeling the conviction of what it tells us about ourselves, and thanking God and praising God for what it shows us about him" (p. 151). In chapter 11, Keller expounds more upon the notion that truth and experience can stand together. This is an extremely important chapter and one that could be read and reread profitably.
Part 5 concludes with a practical discussion of prayer. In this section Keller discusses three basic kinds of prayer. Upward prayer is praise and thanksgiving that focuses on God himself. Inward prayer focuses on self-examination and confession of sin. Outward prayer focuses on supplication and intercession (p. 189). Chapters 12, 13, and 14 specifically focus on these three modes of prayer, and readers would be wise to absorb what Keller has to say in these chapters. In chapter 15, Keller discusses the importance of daily prayer and concludes by offering up practical plans on how to make prayer a daily exercise.
In summary, Keller has done both believers and non-believers a great service in providing them with such a practical and yet theologically rich book on the importance and nature of prayer. One of the most unique things about Keller's book is his discussion of Christian mysticism. In Reformed circles this is not discussed often and is usually viewed as taboo. As Keller rightly notes, "many Protestants are hesitant about spiritual experience" (p. 183). Nevertheless, Keller presents valid reasons as to why Christians should be open to experiencing God through prayer and Bible reading. He says, "The irony is that many conservative Christians, most concerned about conserving true and sound doctrine, neglect the importance of prayer and make no effort to experience God, and this can lead to eventual loss of sound doctrine" (p. 180). Keller's challenge to Christians to be open to experiencing a sound biblical mysticism is extremely valuable and needed.
Almost everything that Keller discusses in Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God is thorough and in-depth. On the whole, Tim Keller truly has offered readers a remarkable and well-rounded discussion of prayer. He succeeds in discussing the theological, experiential, and methodological practices of prayer, and he does so with grace and clarity. Christians would be wise to read this book, and then to come back to it again and again as they continue on their spiritual journey.

A uptick in the state suicide rate is one factor behind the smartphone-based tool meant to provide resources and information to students struggling with depression and other issues.
(TNS) — A new smartphone application was launched this week by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood's office to provide resources and information for students struggling with depression, bullying, drug use and other issues at home or in school.
"It is our middle school students right now who are most at risk because they are at an age where they are very impressionable, and a majority of them are not communicating, not only with their friends but also their families," said Tameka Tobias, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Mississippi.
Suicides in Mississippi have increased in recent years after a drop in 2015. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 445 people committed suicide in 2017 in Mississippi, which was up from 383 the year prior.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which helped develop the Students Against Violence app, suicide has increased among youths who lack sufficient support.
Tobias said youths today will not go into a National Alliance on Mental Illness office to ask for information or help, or even visit the website, but they can pull up an app easily and privately on their phone.
The app breaks out situations into sections and describes how a person might feel, think or experience a specific scenario, such as depression or domestic violence. It also provides a list of phone numbers directly linked so users can call for help from the app by scrolling through a list of local and national resources.
"What we found is that the majority of students and young adults were not getting the help that they needed. Also, the majority of our kids are using their phones, and at this point, we said that we have to meet the children where they are," Tobias said.
Hood serves on the board of the Jason Foundation, which also helped develop the app. This is the first partnership between the Jason Foundation, which provides suicide prevention curriculum material to schools, and a state attorney general's office.
The Jason Foundation says on its website that suicide is the second leading cause of death for youths aged 10 to 24 years old, based on CDC national data from 2017.
Jason Foundation president Clark Flatt said the Students Against Violence app is not a replacement for professional or clinical help, but a starting point to help guide youths who are struggling to find a pathway to help.
"Individuals today, especially our youth, many times feel more comfortable utilizing technology to find information and resources concerning issues that may arise in their lives," Flatt said in an email.
"SAV is a project that utilizes this comfortable platform to provide information, tools and links to resources that hopefully will help make their lives better and address issues that could be life threatening if left unaddressed."
Flatt said it took four months to design and code the app, which utilizes resources and input from several state organizations such as the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Education, the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Mississippi, and The Partnership for a Healthy Mississippi.
The app is free and is available on both iPhone and Android devices.
Suicide warning signs include threats of suicide, depression, anger or increased irritability, lack of interest, a sudden increase or decrease in appetite, sudden changes in appearance, dwindling academic performance, preoccupation with death and suicide, previous attempts at suicide and making final arrangements.

This overview of the nervous system in antiquity shows that whereas neuro-anatomy had its heyday in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC (the Alexandrian School) and was later consolidated by Galen in the 2nd century AD, neurophysiology remained largely mired in erroneous concepts. While the descriptions of neurological disease often produced quite
apt clinical pictures, poor understanding of pathophysiology resulted in ineffectual therapy. The embryonic origins of modern neurology lie in the gradual evolution of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology in antiquity. Closely allied to the early understanding of the nervous system was the contested issue of where the control centre of the body
(hegemonikon) was located. These are the issues that we review.
The body's control centre
The need to place all actions of the body under the control of a single centre or principle (hegemonikon – a term coined by the Stoics) was pervasive in Western antiquity.1 Although the head (brain) was favoured by many, entities such as the chest,
heart, liver, blood and the pneuma ('vital spirit') also had their supporters. Hippocrates stated that the diaphragm, which was favoured by some, could not be seriously considered because it did not contain a cavity2 (presumably to house the soul or 'vital spirit').
In Ancient Egypt, the heart was considered to be the chief organ of the body. The brain was viewed as being of little importance – at best, the producer of mucus during illness,
subsequently discharged through the nose.3,4 In Mesopotamia,
the liver was thought to be the seat of the soul.5 In Greece, the so-called Presocratic philosopher-physicians (6th and 5th centuries BC) laid the foundation of empirical science that led to the Hippocratic era. Alcmaeon of Croton, a contemporary of Pythagoras, favoured the head (and brain), as did Diogenes and Democritus.6 Parmenides6 and the influential Sicilian,Empedocles,1 however, thought that the soul was seated in the thorax or the blood surrounding the heart.
The Hippocratic Corpus (mainly 5th and 4th centuries BC) presented divergent views. In The Sacred Disease (chapter 19),the brain is called the centre of bodily functions but, in a later text (The Heart, chapter 7), the left ventricle of the heart is the seat of the soul. In Diseases Book II, higher bodily functions are ascribed to both the heart and the brain.
While Plato favoured the head, Aristotle placed the hegemonikon in the heart, stating that a bloodless brain could not house the soul. During the 4th century BC, the Stoics,
Epicurians, Praxagoras and Diocles all nominated the heart,while Strato placed the seat of the soul between the eyebrows.
At the onset of the Hellenistic era (late 4th century BC), the cardiocentric consensus (heart as control centre) gradually receded, as influential Alexandrians such as Herophilus
and Erasistratus brought evidence of an encephalocentric hegemonikon.1 Erasistratus thought it might be located in the meninges rather than the brain.1 Chrysippus (3rd century BC), however, still favoured the heart,7 while Asclepiades (1st century BC) taught that there was no hegemonikon, since the senses controlled all bodily activities.1
In the Roman era, influential figures such as Galen1 and Rufus (2nd century AD)7 strongly defended the encephalocentric approach, but Lucretius (1st century BC) and Alexander of Aphrodisias (2nd century AD)1 were cardiocentrists, defending a point of view that persisted through medieval times and was still reflected by Shakespeare in his play The Merchant of Venice (III.ii.63): 'Tell me where is fancy bred, or in the heart, or in the head'?8
Phrases such as 'heart and soul', 'with all my heart' and 'heartfelt grief' have their origin in the cardiocentric view of the past.
In Ancient Egypt, the brain was considered unimportant and there was no real knowledge of the nervous system. During the mummification process, the brain was destroyed and removed via the nose and through the cribriform plate.3 But in the Edmund Smith Papyrus, the brain is identified as an organ,4and limited neuro-anatomical features such as the meninges,cerebrospinal fluid, surface blood vessels and convolutions,
which were observed through open skull wounds, are mentioned.3 Similarly, Mesopotamian writings reveal no significant neurological knowledge.7
Greece (Classical era)
In pre-Hippocratic times, the philosopher-physician Alcmaeon of Croton (6th century BC) probably took the first tentative steps towards exploring the brain and nervous system. He possibly dissected animals, and was said to have examined an excised human eye. He linked the senses functionally to the brain and postulated passages connecting the eyes, ears, nose and tongue (taste) with the brain. He might have described the optic nerve.1
The Hippocratic Corpus (the foundation document of empirical medicine) contains little on neuro-anatomy,knowledge of which was gained from general observation and limited animal (but no human) dissection.1 Two membranes covering the brain (the dura and pia mater, but not the arachnoid) were described; these membranes partially divide
the brain down the middle into the right and left hemispheres.
Apparently based on dissection of the goat, the brain was said to be oedematous and foul-smelling.1,2 The spinal cord was ribed as attached to the brain and of the same consistency,differing from that of bone marrow. The fluid under the brain Membranes (meninges) was found to be confluent with thatCovering the spinal cord.9 Passages through the skull and eninges linking the eyes and ears to the brain were noted,
but no such passage to the nose. Blood vessels, ducts andNerves were confused – phlebes were described as hollowtubes carrying various fluids, and neura were solid structures
(including nerves, tendons and ligaments). Semen was believedto originate in the head and to be conveyed in neura. The eyewas thought to consist of three tunics (sclera, choroid and
retina) and to be nourished by the brain through the hollowoptic nerve.9
Although not medically trained, Aristotle (4th century BC)performed extensive animal dissections and confirmed thatthe main brain consisted of two hemispheres. He described
a lesser brain (parenkephalon (cerebellum)) behind the mainbrain (encephalon (cerebrum)). The brain was thought to becovered by two meninges and to contain few blood vessels. Healso found that some animals had small cavities (ventricles)
in the cerebrum, and mentioned the presence of a few nervesoriginating in the brain (cranial nerves).1 The concept of theneuron still included tendons and ligaments besides nerves.He reported that men had larger brains than women and that,
relative to body size, man had the largest brain of all creatures.7
Praxagoras (4th century BC) claimed that blood vesselsterminated as nerves, so supporting the argument that the heartwas the central controlling organ.7 He and Philotimus believedthat the brain was merely an outgrowth of the spinal cord.1
Vindicianus later wrote that Diocles (4th century BC, sometimescalled the second Hippocrates) had said that the right half ofthe brain controlled sensation and the left side, intelligence.10
