St. Bernard School 60th Anniversary
On Monday I attended the St. Bernard School's 60th anniversary and participated in the ribbon cutting for the Montville school's recent renovations. As a graduate of St. Bernard, it's great to see the school making improvements that will benefit students for many years to come! The updates include two renovated hallways and a new chemistry lab that will also serve as a classroom.
St. Bernard first opened in 1956. Much has changed since then, but with its new renovations the school is looking forward to the future. My colleague Sen. Cathy Osten and I cut the ceremonial ribbon with some help from teacher Jim Leone and his daughter Marie Londregan, who is also a St. Bernard teacher.

About the Mommy Makeover
Las Vegas, NV cosmetic surgeon Dr. Edward M. Zimmerman regularly consults with women who desire to get their pre-pregnancy physique back. While childbirth is an exciting and amazing moment for a woman, it inevitably will change the size and shape of certain body parts — and could leave one feeling a little frustrated. The most exciting news is that it's achievable to get a slim and taut appearance with the assistance of the mommy makeover procedure performed at Aesthetic Revolution Las Vegas by Dr. Z. The mommy makeover procedure uses a combination of liposuction and skin removal to reshape the abdomen and breasts, and other affected areas — essentially any body part affected by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding can be corrected. Furthermore, nonsurgical procedures can be incorporated to repair surface imperfections, such as hyperpigmentation and stretch marks that occurred during pregnancy.
"I recently visited for fillers on my cheekbone and jawline (Radiesse Plus), as well as some wrinkle relaxer (Xeomin). The process took a little longer than I had expected but the injector was well versed in her practice and very gentle with me. I am very happy with the results. There was a little bruising which is normal with deeper fillers, but from day 1 it was a great improvement. Never thought that just a couple syringes (ok ok like 4 Radiesse, 1 Xeomin) could make such a difference in how I see myself and how others do as well. Highly recommend."- M.J. / Google / Jun 22, 2019
"Thank you so much for your professionalism and thoroughly explaining what you were doing. By far the best injection I've ever had!"- S.S. / Solutionreach / Jun 06, 2020
"I know I'm getting the best in service, professionalism, and results when I come to Dr. Zimmerman's!"- C.G. / Solutionreach / Jun 05, 2020
"The moment I entered the clinic I felt comfortable. My consultation was great. I got all my questions answered. The staff were very respectful and I am willing to let Dr. Z take care of my cosmetic procedures because I trust him. He is very professional and by looking at you, he knows exactly what should be fixed and done to reveal your beauty. Will definietly visit the office soon."- R.J. / Solutionreach / Jun 04, 2020
"From the moment I entered the office, I was welcomed and greeted by all who work there. The digital forms helped move things along. The wait was quick and I was seen right away. The knowledgeable medical staff answered all my questions."- B.S. / Solutionreach / May 28, 2020
Ideal Candidates For Mommy Makeover
Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover procedure are females who have completed pregnancy and childbirth, and have tried to attain a slimmer, tighter figure through diet and exercise with little result. For so many new moms, surgical intervention is necessary to once again have their pre-pregnancy shape. If you are past childbearing and are feeling hopeless with the side effects remaining on your body, such as sagging breasts, wrinkled skin in the abdominal area, or undesirable areas of fat in the lower back, flanks, and buttocks, this procedure could be a great option for you. The overall goal of Dr. Z is to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure so you can get back to living life without worry.
Mommy Makeover Surgical Technique
The mommy makeover procedure is a custom surgery, tailored for patients by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Z based on the areas of concern to be enhanced. A variety of procedures can be applied together — the most popular treatments are a breast lift with or without implants, abdominoplasty, and liposuction. All of these procedures are performed while the patient is under general anesthesia, lasting 3 – 7 hours, depending on the complexity. In some cases, a day-long stay at the hospital may be required. It is common to also incorporate nonsurgical skin rejuvenation, such as an injection or a laser treatment, to smooth facial wrinkles and diminish surface irregularities.
What to Expect In Mommy Makeover
Once leaving the hospital, you will start your recovery at home with rest and proper aftercare. The overall recovery is generally a slow process. Standing upright will be difficult the first couple of weeks, and a carefully followed, at-home treatment protocol will be adhered to in order to ensure the incisions heal properly. The majority of women find the healing process can last around six months. Even while the primary recovery could take months, the majority of women are able to get back to a somewhat normal routine within several weeks. Exercise should be held off for approximately two months. In the end, the mommy makeover procedure at Aesthetic Revolution Las Vegas can make an incredible impact for women, creating a newfound love for their body.
Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
Mommy makeover costs will vary, depending on which procedures are part of your surgical plan. During your consultation, Dr. Z will develop your treatment plan and then he will be able to discuss possible costs. A mommy makeover is about rejuvenating your confidence after having children so it is best to concentrate on reaching your goals rather than shopping for the cheapest surgeon. Aesthetic Revolution Las Vegas takes several payment methods and we will give you information on finding low-interest financing to make your mommy makeover affordable.
How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?
During your consultation with Dr. Z, he will understand your concerns and goals before performing a physical examination. Following this, he can give you suggestions on what to include in your surgical plan. Typically, women select a breast surgery (an augmentation, lift, or both), plus a tummy tuck and liposuction.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
Childbirth and pregnancy are hard on your body, which is why nonsurgical procedures usually aren't enough to produce noticeable improvements. In your consultation, Dr. Z will explain both nonsurgical and surgical treatments. After listening to your concerns and goals, he will tell you if procedures, like nonsurgical liposuction (including Emsculpt), vaginal rejuvenation (like ThermiVa or FemTouch), or noninvasive skin tightening (for example, Profound or Vivace), may be helpful.
Will I have scars?
Although a mommy makeover gives you a rejuvenated figure, it does leave surgical scars. Dr. Z will make small, clean incisions. Most scars will be placed so they can be covered with swimsuits and underwear. When reviewing your post-surgical care instructions, Dr. Z or a member of his team will give you tips on scar care so your stitches heal and fade.
What if I get pregnant again?
Ideally, you should hold off on getting a mommy makeover until your family is complete so your results aren't compromised. In most cases, all treated areas of your body are at risk for changing if you get pregnant again. Should you have another child after a mommy makeover, another surgery may be done to restore your results.
Reclaim Your Figure Through Mommy Makeover
Instead of feeling upset with your current figure while trying your hardest to rid those final pounds, we welcome you to phone Aesthetic Revolution Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV to hear more about the body contouring options we offer. Sagging and drooping breasts, wrinkles, and other surface irregularities can be corrected with this effective surgery. During your initial consult, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Z will talk about your concerns and create a custom treatment plan to correct each area. With the latest medical advancements and surgical experience, it is achievable to regain the body and figure you desire.

Dr. Ellington Darden
Your muscles can be, and should be, developed efficiently through intense, brief exercise. Intense, brief exercise works – only, and this is important, if you have the knowledge and the guts to train in this manner. Almost anyone can make it through 3 sets of 12 exercises in 2 hours and call it a workout. But the real renegade is in and out of the gym – after 25 minutes of take-it-to-the-limit, heart-pounding, muscle-burning exercise. That, for the uninitiated, is high intensity. It's no shocker today that hard exercise isn't mainstream.
If you're unsure about whether or not to give high-intensity training (HIT) a fair trial, The New Bodybuilding for Old-School Results will knock you off that fence. You'll either LOVE it or HATE it . . . you won't be undecided. WARNING: This new book is NOT for everyone. It's for the few tough, disciplined men – who want bigger muscles . . . faster.

Sounds of the Rainforest
This is a team building exercise that I participated in during a conference. It requires at least 20 people and as many as hundreds. It also requires some sort of a hard surface for each person – such as a desk. It is truly a unique experience if you can get enough people together.
The group is divided into four sections with imaginary borders. Inform the entire group that you will be non-verbal once the exercise begins. You will point to their section when they are to begin their instructions. They will continue with their instructions until you return to their section and motion for them to stop (identify what that motion will look like – I use the American Sign Language sign for STOP). One section will snap their fingers throughout this exercise (try to move steadily through the exercise because their fingers will be sore by the time it is done); one will slap their hands on their thighs; one will stomp their feet on the floor and the last section will bang their hands on the table. The exercises should be performed in that order. READY…
- Point to the first section. As they are all snapping their fingers, it will sound like a light sprinkling rain.
- Point to the second section. In addition to the sound of the first section, they will slap their hands on their thighs. It now sounds like a heavier pouring rain.
- Point to the third section. In addition to the previous two sections, they will stomp their feet on the floor. Now you will experience the sound of a very heavy rain and occasional claps of thunder.
- Point to the fourth section. In addition to the previous three sections, they will bang their hands on the table. Now you have a full blown rainstorm in the rainforest with thunder and all the sounds associated with it. The larger the group the more impressive this experience will be.
- Reverse the whole process – stop the banging of hands on the table; stop the stomping of feet on the floor; stop the slapping of hands on their thighs; and stop the snapping. You will hear the rainforest rain eventually die down into silence.
- Appreciate the silence and wonder at what you just experienced.

If you're trying to get into the horror writing biz and have not taken the leap yet, why not check out this new horror writing contest from paranormal tourism site Haunt Jaunts. Check out all the details down below on what you need to do to enter the contest!
Scary stories wanted! Haunt Jaunts is offering cash prizes for the three scariest tales that keep its judges up at night.
From The Press Release
Haunt Jaunts, a travel site for restless spirits that specializes in paranormal tourism, is hosting a horror writing contest. They are seeking scary tales of 2,000 words or less filled with crisp, clean prose that crackle with terror. There is a $5 entry fee with three cash prizes being offered: $50 for First Place, $30 for 2nd Place, $20 for 3rd Place. Deadline to enter is October 15, 2013. Winners will be announced on October 31, 2013.
Ever since its launch in 2009, Haunt Jaunts loves to get into the Halloween spirit by hosting various events. In years past they've thrown online Halloween parties complete with contests and prizes. This year they decided to celebrate in a different way –with a horror writing contest.
"We're calling it our 1st Annual in the hopes it'll be a hit and something we can carry on for years to come," Courtney Mroch, Haunt Jaunts founder and Director of Paranormal Tourism, says.
As to why she picked a horror writing contest, Mroch had this to say:
"I love the horror genre. Horror books, horror movies, horror art…if it's scary, it catches my eye. And then there's Halloween….my favorite time of year. I love celebrating and getting my site in the act too. I wanted to do something a little different this year and got the idea of hosting a writing contest. I figured it might be a fun way to discover some new spooky stories and offer writers a new place to send their work."
Speaking of writers, Mroch has recruited two authors to help with the judging: Christine Verstraete, who writes as C.A. Verstraete, and Phillip Creighton, who writes as P.W. Creighton. Verstraete's latest release is Girl Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie. Creighton's most recent is Hysteria.
"I'm really excited Phil and Chris agreed to be judges," Mroch says. "They're friends of mine, but they're also busy people. That's why I'm going to handle the first round of judging and then pass on the best to them. They'll really be the final word."
When asked how she felt about being a judge, Verstraete said, "I love contests and hope I find plenty of stories to keep me up at night!"
Stories can be submitted online via Haunt Jaunts' site at http://www.hauntjaunts.net/horror-writing-contest/.

Yacht-Master II was the only chronograph with the function of programmable countdown when it was released in 2007 which was performed by the bezel. It is a bidirectional rotatable bezel but not as same as the diving bezel. Rolex named it as the Command Ring.
1, Programme
The captain should rotate the bezel of 44 mm Rolex Yacht-Master II copy watch with 90 degrees counterclockwise to active the countdown function setting. Then push the button at 4 o'clock. Screw the crown and pull it into the first position. Now you can set a big red triangle countdown pointer, a red triangle, as needed. Screw the crown in one direction to set the length of the countdown. After 0, the hands will jump back to 10. Once the demanded time has been set, press the crown back and tighten to return the bezel to the "home position" position. The yacht timer is ready.
2, Start countdown
Ten minutes before the match, the organizer fired the cannon and hanged the corresponding signal flag. The captain presses the button at two o'clock to start the countdown chronograph. This starts the countdown function.
3, Synchronization
Now for some reason, the captain may start the countdown too early or too late at the beginning. He can wait for the second signal to calibrate. In the second shot, he can re-adjust his chronograph by pressing the reset button at 4 o'clock. The reset function of Rolex fake watch with blue ceramic bezel has a feature: you can reset the countdown hand to the nearest minute. That is, it will retrograde back to the nearest minute in the first 30 seconds, and it will move forward to the nearest minute in the last 30 seconds. This feature is very useful during sailing.
4, Return to Zero
After the chronograph stops and resets, the countdown hand will return to its preprogrammed position to prepare for the next race.

Two original members of La Calma have rejoined the band as they ready a new album, according to La Calma frontman Leo Correa.
"Today marks our nine year anniversary as La Calma," Correa posted on his Facebook page on July 8. "We have gone through so much as a group and like every relationship we all have our ups and downs but today it's official, the original La Calma members are back and more ready than ever. Welcome back Michael Machado and Mack Segovia…CALMA NATION GET READY."
RELATED: La Calma's Leo Correa talks about signing with VMB Music Group, upcoming music and recent weight loss [VIDEO]
Michael Machado and Mack Segovia, who left the band almost a year ago, have decided to reunite with their former band members as they ready to release a new album with their new record label VMB Music Group.
La Calma signed with VMB Music Group back in March.
"We are so excited to be a part of the VMB Music Group family," Correa said. "We've been working at this very hard. We've been at this a little over eight years…but as a group, there's just so much you can do as an independent. It's very hard to take it to that next level…There's big plans for Grupo La Calma, a lot of collaborations they want to talk about with some of the other artists."
Correa added La Calma will soon be releasing a new single, "Perdoname," and plans to release a new album.

Artist: "Firesign Theatre"
Album: "How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All"
Genre: Comedy
Label: Columbia
Reviewer: Max Burbank
Posted: 5/26/2009
An older cousin who lived with my family off and on during the late sixties and early seventies introduced me to a number of things that would wield great influence over the rest of my life, and only one of them is what you're thinking of. The others were The Beatles, National Lampoon and Firesign Theatre.
Firesign Theatre was a four man improv/sketch comedy radio group. They were (and are, they are still out there) The last magnificent gasp of a dying beast, radio comedy. You can argue some of the 'personalities' still clinging to radio are radio comedy, but they're really a different branch of comedy's evolutionary tree. The firesigns were hugely influenced by the British Goon Show, the radio comedy troupe Peter Sellars cut his teeth in. Who influenced the Goons? Damned if I know. You've passed beyond the fog of my expertise.
"How Can You be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All" was released in 69 and in my book it's the second finest comedy album ever released, surpassed only by "Don't Crush that Dwarf, Pass me the Pliers". If comedy albums were released in sides, side one of "Two Places…" is he highwater mark of the Firesign's genius.
An extended riff about a man who buys a car with all the extras to 'get away from it all' and finds that the environmental control buttons control reality within the car, "Two places..." functions on more god damned levels than the empire state building. Allow me to example you.
The Firesigns were all about ambient noise. So as the protagonist drives away talking to himself, we hear his voice in the foreground and highway noise in the background, creating a soundscape typical of radio drama. But soon we hear billboards being read aloud as they pass the car, and the sound doplars, giving you the feeling of approaching and passing roadsigns, except of course in reality, roadsigns don't talk, but on an album you can't see, so a false level of reality is created. As the signs pass, the driver decides to get on the 'Antelope freeway' and drives into an audio version of Zenon's paradox.
"Antelope Freeway ˝ mile"
"Antelope Freeway Ľ mile"
"Antelope Freeway 1/8 mile"
"Antelope Freeway 1/16 mile"
"Antelope Freeway 1/32 mile"
We'll never get on the Antelope Freeway because according to Zenon's paradox to get somewhere requires the crossing of an infinite number of points in a finite amount of time. Do you have to be familiar with Zenons Paradox for this to be funny? No, the simple escalating fractional differences are funny to anyone who's ever approached an exit because they are a logical extension of the actual experience. If however one is familiar with the paradox, first of all, how genius to see it in roadsigns we all see every day, AND it opens the protagonists journey by establishing that all journeys are logically absurd, which this one will be in spades.
Almost any beat from this side of the album can be similarly deconstructed, and onion of funnyness as layer after layer peel away. I could go on for days, but I won't because I want you to run out and by this damn album.
The flip side, "The Further Adventures of Nick Danger: Head 'em off at the past" is far more straightforward, but very funny, as if to say Okay, maybe we lost you totally on the first side, we can hold you're comedy hand and walk you through the kind of thing we do too. It's a standard hard boiled detective parody, almost every comedy group has tried it at least once, just the Firesigns casually do it better than anyone before or since. It's nowhere near as groundbreaking and astounding as "Two Places", it's just a masterclass in parody with plenty of surrealism sprinkled through just so you know who you're dealing with.
Enough already, just buy it and learn.

The following article is an excellent example of how important and how significant are signs in
our lives… if Pt Addis beach had some descent signing no such misunderstandings would occur!
(That's why i have this [bizarre] obsession about signs!!!)
Nude beach sex shock
Rebecca Tucker
A NAKED couple having sex at Pt Addis beach shocked a mother walking with her teenage daughter on Saturday afternoon.
Katrina Simpson said she was on the beach about 12.30pm with her husband and their teenage daughter when they came across the indecent act.
She said the couple was in full view, about 30m to the right of the beach access stairs, in the area designated for full clothing.
The Surf Coast beach is famous for its optional dress code, but that does not begin for about 1km to the left of the steps.
Mrs Simpson said the couple was to the right of the steps in the general access area.
But she said regardless of which section they were in, their sexual activity should not have been on public display.
"I'm not a wowser but I have great respect for our community and this is a community beach," Mrs Simpson, a nearby resident for the past 25 years, said.
She telephoned the police after witnessing the incident.
Mrs Simpson earlier this year campaigned for better signage at the beach, raising concerns sunbathers did not know where the optional dress area began.
She said at the time that some male nudists used that as an excuse to parade naked in the general access area.
At the weekend she renewed calls to improve signage, beginning with postings on Pt Addis Rd so people were aware of the different zones before they got to the beach.
Mrs Simpson said apart from the couple having sex at the general access area, her family also came across a naked man reading his newspaper.
"He was still in the wrong area but he covered up with the paper, so at least he was being discreet," she said.
"We're coming to the start of the summer season and we're going to have the same issues as last year unless something is done about it.
"It's a national park so we have every right to be there and people may have a right to choose not to wear clothing but they don't have to do it in our face, that's what the other area is for."
But Mrs Simpson said no area was suitable for public sex.

What you should know about pain in children
Pain is an unpleasant sensation which the body experiences as a reaction to injury or damage to the body. A sudden onset of pain is one of the most common symptoms that children experience.
Common causes of pain in children include infections e.g. of the throat, mouth or middle ear, and injuries e.g. sprains, broken bones or burns.
How to recognise pain in a child
A young child cannot describe pain properly. The child expresses distress differently to adults.
>From the age of 4 years a child will be able to explain that he/ she is in pain. Listen to what the child says.
>Watch how the child behaves- look to see if he/she is moving his/her body normally.
> Note facial expressions.
> Crying is usually a sign that something is wrong.
> Watch to see how your child reacts to pain – some children experience sweating, vomiting or may become pale.
Take your child to the doctor
> If the child persistently complains of pain that does not go away.
>If he/she avoids moving in certain ways.
> If the child is sweating, pale vomiting.
> If he/she is agitated or the opposite (withdrawn, not responding, lying quietly in bed, not talking or eating.)
> If the child has an obvious cause for pain such as a fall or burn.
You are the best judge of your child's condition. If you remain concerned about your child take your child to the doctor as soon as possible!
What you can do
Give your child a pain-relieving medication while waiting to find out the cause of the pain & after operation (with the consent of your health professional). Oral medication is usually preferred by the child. The medication may work fast to control the pain as quickly as possible. Make sure that the pain medication has proven for safety in children. Read the instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dose.
Additional steps to comfort your child
Give reassurance and hold your child if they are in pain.
Distract the child from pain by playing music or reading a story.
Use a hot or cold pack and massage the area of the pain.

Comments: Graveyard Vineyards sits atop a picturesque hill on Estrella Road, one mile off Airport Rd in Paso Robles. Located at our big oak tree driveway, is the historic Pleasant Valley Cemetery. This landmark began back in the 1860's, when the surrounding area of land was the town of Estrella and the original landowner donated an acre of his property for the new First Presbyterian Church. Once the church was built, the landowner's wife passed away and was buried next to the church, creating the "graveyard". Many towns' people followed suit until the church burnt down in 1896. Neither the town of Estrella nor the church lasted, but the little graveyard continues on to this day. It is now named The Pleasant Valley Cemetery and is cared for by community volunteers just as in the 1800's." Our reputation and wine club membership keeps growing from our award-winning wines that deep in flavor and complexity-and consistency year after year. It is truly WINE TO DIE FOR!®

More than ever, you need a way to keep abreast of these changes and how they affect the tools that are available.
That's why we annually revise our Chemical Updates. They provide you with accurate, complete, up-to-date information in a unique, easy-to-use format for planning your pest-control strategies. Use these tables not only as a reference, but also as a guide to select the pesticides that will achieve your goals.
Using the Updates This is the first of the Updates and covers turfgrass herbicides. It includes all the information you need for planning, taking you from the problem (weeds) to the solution (herbicides). We even show you how to contact suppliers for labels or other information. The tables on the following pages are organized in the following sections:
- Chemical name. Many applicators know chemicals by their brand names. However, the same active ingredient may be present in numerous brands. Therefore, we list them by the trade or common name of the active ingredient(s). This eliminates redundancy and reduces confusion with brand names.
- Characteristics. Is a chemical a post- or pre-emergent? Is it selective or non-selective? These are key factors to consider when selecting a chemical product.
- Ornamental labeling. Although we publish a separate Update of products with registration for use in ornamentals, many applicators will use the same pre-emergent (when possible) in both turf and ornamentals. This section shows you which products have such versatility.
- Application form. Many applicators specialize in either liquid or granular applications. However, while some products are available in both forms, most are sold in just one or the other. This is a key aspect of product selection.
- Plant tolerances. Another key factor is whether a chemical is appropriate for a particular type of turf. This section lists all the major turfgrass species and shows which chemicals are registered for use on them.
- Weeds controlled. This section comprises the bulk of the Update tables - for good reason. Products vary tremendously in the range of weeds they control, so you have to know which herbicides best suit your particular site. This section cross-references virtually all major turf weeds with chemicals that are labeled for their control in an easy-to-read format.
- Brands and suppliers. you'll find tables that list suppliers and their brands for each active ingredient. The page after that provides you with contact information so you can obtain more information about products that interest you.
Each year, to keep you abreast of new products, we list chemicals or combinations of chemicals that are new to the turf and ornamental industry in blue type.
Rely on labels Remember that product labels are the ultimate source of information for pesticides. They give you important details about using the product, maximizing its effectiveness and minimizing risk to desirable turf and ornamentals, people and pets, and the applicator. Use these tables for preliminary planning only, and always read and follow label instructions each time you use a pesticide. The Updates are not a substitute for label information. When a label leaves you in doubt about how to use a chemical, contact the manufacturer directly. Cooperative Extension agents also are reliable sources of information.
More turf and ornamental professionals are relying on the Internet as a tool for their business. This applies to pesticides in significant ways. Most chemical manufacturers maintain websites (which we list on page 58), and many allow you to download chemical labels. This is a tremendous resource for applicators seeking detailed information about a product.
Be sure to look for the other Updates as they appear throughout the year. In the following months you'll find tables that cover turf insecticides and fungicides, pesticides for use on ornamentals, fertilizer/pesticide combination products, non-selective herbicides, plant growth regulators and vertebrate pest controls.Go to Updates

Christian Fiction
Many people deal with issues of body image.
I am fat? too fat? too thin? too short? too ______ ?
I am worthless... lazy... I can't do _____.
How many people try to hide and seek invisibility instead of recognition?
How would they feel if they truly believed that all men and women are not only created in the image of God, but also meant to reflect His image to others.
single, 40-something, chef and cafe owner, friend, believer, overweight
single, 20-something, studies and sells natural homeopathic healing, friend, believer, living with an eating disorder
married, counselor, seeks healing from a sad past, fighting depression
widowed, medical doctor, believer, feeling God's leading to seek another soul mate
As the story intertwines around these women's lives, the reader is pulled into their common, and sometimes, tragic issues. Each of the women have secrets they do not want exposed - eating too much, not eating at all, depression - for fear of condemnation. Yet, God draws them into each other's lives to help them see TRUTH and receive healing. Healing which only comes from Him alone.
Click HERE to read Chapter 1.
You don't have to have an eating disorder to relate to Twila. Her courage in the face of her illness shines through. I envy her strength in coming face-to-face with her demons. She knows God will see her through this trial. I love her tattoos!
I easily relate to Ellyn's character in the book. I'm 48, overweight, and can see the good things in others but not myself. I am just truly realizing the power of being "created in God's image." He does not look at me and say negative things. He sees me and sees His creation which was made "very good."
invisible will stay with you long after you finish the last paragraph. It is a powerful message we all need to hear... and accept. God love you. God loves me. Not for what we have done or what size we wear, but because He made us in His image to reflect His glory.
My rating: 6 out of 5 stars
The message alone makes this a must read for all women
who set their identity in anything or anyone other than God.
I received a complimentary copy of invisible from B & H Publishing Group for my honest review.

In today's second instance of Wisconsinites-doing-appalling-things-to-their-relatives, a Hager City man is in jail after authorities got their hands on video tapes depicting the man having sex with two female relatives-- one of whom was 15-years-old, the other of whom was unconscious at the time.
Wade Swenson is being charged with a smorgasboard of felonies, including second-degree sexual assault of a child, sexual exploitation of a child, possession of child pornography, three counts of sexual assault, and four counts of capturing an image of nudity. He's looking at 40 years in prison if convicted of either sexual assualt of a child or sexual exploitation of a child.
The PiPress has the details:
In December, one of the alleged victims was asked by Swenson to remove videos from the Hager City home he was vacating. The relative was curious about the content on the tapes and, upon watching some, saw that they were of Swenson having sex with her and performing sex acts while she was unconscious, the criminal complaint states. The relative did not remember the sex and believed she had been drugged, she told investigators.
The woman viewed other videos and found that one was of Swenson having sex with the underage relative, according to the complaint. She then alerted police to the material.
As for the aforesaid 15-year-old relative: she's now an adult and in a serious relationship with Swenson.

Mint, cumin, and chopped almonds give these delicious meatballs their Middle Eastern flavor. There's plenty of mint and cumin in the tomato sauce, too. Serve the meatballs and sauce over steamed couscous to be authentic. We think they're great over rice too. More Amazing Lamb Recipes
How to Make It
In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, almonds, bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons of the mint, the garlic, 1 teaspoon of the cumin, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs, about 2 inches in diameter.
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, until browned on all over, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
In a large deep frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the remaining 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and simmer, covered, until the meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons mint.

Open Source OpenStack ARMs the Cloud
Two years ago at the OSCON open source conference, NASA and Rackspace got up on stage to announce OpenStack.
Fast forward to today, and OpenStack now has the support of major IT vendors including Cisco, HP, Dell, AT&T, IBM, Red Hat, Canonical and SUSE. And while OpenStack has been an x86-based technology for the entire length of the project's history, that is now set to change.
OpenStack is set to be available on ARM for users to try out via the Trystack effort. TryStack debuted in February this year as a way for users to "try" OpenStack in a freely available hosted environment.
"OpenStack was designed from the beginning to be agnostic to different technologies," Mark Collier, VP of Marketing and Business Development for OpenStack at Rackspace, told InternetNews.
The ARM version of OpenStack will be powered by servers from startup Calxeda. Calxeda is part of HP's Project Moonshot effort, which is bringing ARM-based scale-out computing hardware to the market. The first Moonshot servers powered by Calxeda ARM are codenamed Redstone and provide massive scalability of up to 2,800 servers in a single rack.
On TryStack there is now a zoned sandbox that will enable developers to run OpenStack on Calxeda ARM-based hardware.
"If you look at how big data centers are getting, we know that power is the biggest driver of cost," Collier said. "So I'm bullish on ARM as a disruptive technology."
In the past, different hardware architecture represented a serious and significant challenge for applications. When it comes to the cloud, though, hardware is more abstracted, making the physical devices less important from an application developer perspective.
Collier noted that the end state that the cloud market is moving to is one where users don't need to know and don't care about the underlying hardware. He added that the reality is that Linux is now the operating system of most data centers, and Linux will run on ARM. That said, he noted that with ARM, at least initially, what will likely be the case is the 80/20 rule will be in effect for applications. That is, 80 percent of apps are likely to work seamlessly on Linux ARM, while the other 20 percent might require some additional work.
OpenStack Foundation
As OpenStack moves beyond x86 to ARM, the governance model is also moving forward. OpenStack is now moving to a formal open source governance model and an OpenStack Foundation. Collier noted that the group is now nearly completed with all of the legal paperwork to form the foundation.
Individual member sign-ups are set to be enabled this week as well, but the formal launch of the full foundation is not expected to occur until the fall of this year, likely to coincide with the OpenStack summit in October.

I'm taking a trip to Taipei between February 16th and June 6th.
I have enrolled at the Mandaring Training Center/National Taiwan Normal University to study Chinese for one semester. I hope this will give me a solid foundation for understanding Chinese.
I do not have a lot of plans yet, but as I am staying over 3 months, I guess something interesting will happen. I will blog about my effort to learn Chinese, and about life in Taiwan.

When a married couple with minor children dissolves their marriage, the law requires numerous issues to be addressed regarding the care, custody, co-parenting and support of those minor children.
When a married couple with minor children dissolves their marriage, the law requires numerous issues to be addressed regarding the care, custody, co-parenting and support of those minor children.
Some years ago our state also adopted the Uniform Parentage Act, which provides for a civil action to address those same issues with respect to children whose parents were never married.
In most of the Uniform Parentage Act cases I have handled over the years, I've represented a man who wanted to secure his rights to be involved in his child's life, often after period of conflict with the mother over just what his role and rights should be.
Part of the process, I explain, is that the court will also order him to pay the mother his fair share for the support of the child.
Fathers I have represented fully understand this, accept it, and wish to proceed nonetheless with the case because they want to fulfill the role of a father to their child.
Often, the father comes to me some time after the child is born after a vague, informal understanding that the father will provide financial support and the mother will permit the father to be an involved parent has fallen apart.
In many cases, the parents do not have identical ideas as to the proper form and measure of financial support to be provided by the father, nor as to extent and manner of the father's involvement with the child, and conflict ensues.
The father feels that he is helping sufficiently by bringing by a box of diapers and a container of baby formula from time to time and by shuffling money to the mother when he can. The mother thinks the dad is a deadbeat whose level of support is grossly inadequate.
The mother feels that the father's contact with the child is only when convenient to the father, and only upon short notice, or no notice, that is not often convenient to the mother, who is agitated by the father's perceived lack of financial support. The mother finds this to be frustrating and denies the father's attempts to see the child when it's not convenient to her, causing the father to think that the mother, who constantly complains about not having enough money, is using the child to extort money from the father and to fulfill her need for control.
With this backdrop in place, one party or the other decides to go see a lawyer. Considering that their motivation tends to be financial distress and the love of one's child, emotions often run high.
What I try to stress to people in these situations is that the most important thing here is the best interests of the child, which are served by having enough economic wherewithal for a decent upbringing and a meaningful relationship with both parents. It's not about winning, because you are angry at the other parent.
Hopefully, the conflict between the parents will be resolved by an agreement, approved by a court order, that provides specificity and certainty to their situation.
One party, usually the father, will be required to pay a specific sum of money each month to the other parent for support. The receiving party will then be responsible for buying the child's necessities, except when the child is with the other parent.
The order will provide a specific schedule of parenting time to be exercised by each parent, including a detailed holiday schedule, summer schedule, and weekday/weekend schedule.
Oftentimes, after these issues are detailed and reduced to writing, and the parties have specificity to guide them, the conflict diminishes, and everyone benefits.
I think the best advice is for unmarried parents to be proactive at the outset of their lives as parents together in reaching a detailed co-parenting agreement, and not wait until matters reach a point of conflict.

How To Create Your Own Music Stream With Icecast [Linux]
Icecast is actually just the service that will stream the audio that is played by another music daemon. In this article we'll be using mpd, which is an accepted combination by most people. The instructions will, for the most part, work in any Linux distribution, though I will be specifically covering Ubuntu and Fedora 4 Recommended Linux Distros To Help You Choose The Right One For You When you finally decide to take the plunge and have a stroll through Linux Avenue, you'll need to be able to decide which distro is right for you. Making the right choice is an important... Read More . Unless there are major differences in the commands, Ubuntu users will need to add "sudo" to the front of each command that I cover where root permissions are needed (which is a large portion). All commands will not include the quotation marks.
These instructions are for a simple setup, and is not the securest way to do things. If you wish to create your own music stream and share it publicly and not within your network, please make sure that you follow appropriate security measures.
Installing & Configuring MPD
The first thing is to install mpd, so fire up your terminal. Fedora users need to switch to root by typing "su –" and entering their passwords. Then, in Fedora, issue the command "yum install mpd", while Ubuntu users use "sudo apt-get install mpd". Once that completes, use your favorite terminal editor (such as nano) to edit the file at /etc/mpd.conf.
In the first couple of lines, find the following and replace them with your regular username (or create a new user specifically for Icecast and use that instead):
music_directory "/home/USER/music" playlist_directory "/home/USER/music/playlists" db_file "/home/USER/.mpd/mpd.db" log_file "/home/USER/.mpd/mpd.log" error_file "/home/USER/.mpd/mpd.error"
Soon after that chunk of text will be a small line, where you again need to replace the user with the one you wish to use:
user "USER"
Next, find the following text and make sure it matches:
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1" port "6600"
Finally, find a large chunk that looks similar to this (in Fedora, it is the third "audio_output" group in the default configuration file):
audio_output { type "shout" name "Stream short description" host "localhost" port "8000" mount "/mpd.ogg" password "hackme" quality "5.0" # bitrate "128" format "44100:16:2" # user "source" # optional # description "My Stream Description" # optional # genre "jazz" # optional # public "no" # optional }
Change the information in your own configuration file to match them with the code above. For simple use, you can keep the "hackme" password, but if you wish to share your stream with the Internet, I highly recommend you change it. Once you are done editing the file, save it and close out of your editor.
Next, leave your root permissions (or drop off the sudo if you use Ubuntu) and type the following:
cd $HOME mkdir -p music/playlists mkdir .mpd
This creates the necessary folders that the mpd daemon needs as described in the configuration file.
Installing Icecast
Next we will install Icecast, so Fedora and Ubuntu users need to type (as root) "yum install icecast" and "sudo apt-get install icecast", respectively.
If you didn't change the password in mpd, then there's no configuration needed for Icecast! However, if you did use a different password or want to change port numbers, you can change all instances of those in the configuration file, which is located at /etc/icecast.xml.
Installing & Configuring Pitchfork
Congratulations! You already have all of the background services installed and configured! However you still need an interface to configure mpd, else it won't know what to play. I recommend that you use a Web-based configuration tool called Pitchfork. In order to be able to run that, we need to install some more packages.
In Fedora, we'll type "yum install httpd mysql-server php php-mysql php-gd php-pear". In Ubuntu, it'll be "sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-mysql php5-gd php5-pear".
Once that finishes installing, download Pitchfork from here and extract the files into Apache's default folder, which is either /var/www or /var/www/html depending on the system. In order to keep things easy for us, type the following:
chown -R apache:apache /var/www OR chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html chmod -R 777 /var/www/config OR chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/config
Before we get to the more fun parts, we still need to start our services. We have three services, httpd (or apache2 in Ubuntu), Icecast, and mpd. So in Fedora, we'll type "service <NAME> start", replacing <NAME> with the service's name. In Ubuntu, do the same for the command "sudo /etc/init.d/<NAME> start".
Now fire up your favorite browser and head to localhost (or if you've been doing all these steps on a separate server, head to that server's address). You should now be greeted by Pitchfork, and we can go ahead and configure it.
Under the configuration page, there's actually not much you need to do. Just make sure that the address and port are the same as in mpd's configuration file, and leave the password field blank. In the middle you can enter a login password so that access to Pitchfork can be restricted. Save and you'll be sent back to the main page. Now you can add songs and have them play over Icecast!
If you want to connect to your stream, there's an easy way to do so. Provided that you open port 8000, you can go to a different computer, go to a browser and type <IP_ADDRESS>:8000, and click on the M3U link. You're finally done!
Final Considerations
Please note that on Pitchfork the volume slider does not work. However, your media player should have one, so that shouldn't be a problem. Also, when adding songs, they may not immediately appear. In this case you should simply refresh the page.
Considering the steps needed, I will provide some support in the comment section. If you have problems, ask for help there!
Icecast is a great way to get music on the go. Plus who doesn't want their personal online radio station? Creating your own music stream can have its purposes and let you have some fun as well.
Do you think you'll be creating a music stream? What do you like or not like about the idea? Let us know in the comments!

TOKYO – Toho's animated feature "Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan 2016" topped the Japanese box office for the third straight weekend, boosted by the start of spring vacation for the nation's students.
Over the March 19-20 weekend it earned $3.5 million on 347,000 admissions, bringing its cumulative total to $18 million after 21 days on release.
Bowing in second place was Warner's "Erased" (aka 'Boku Dake ga Inai Machi'), a sci-fi thriller based on a hit comic book about a struggling comic book artist who travels through time to right wrongs. Released on 329 screens, the film made $1.9 million on 170,000 admissions and is expected to reach the JPY1.5 billion ($13.4 million) milestone.
The highest ranking new foreign film was Tom Hooper's "The Danish Girl" in 13th place. Released in Japan by Toho Towa on 67 screens, exact box office and admissions were not reported.

The S1 initially seems promising. Compatible with the VoIP provider via 802.11b/g WiFi, once plugged into your PC the S1 taps into your Skype account and downloads your contacts, preferences, caller ID and other account data almost automatically.
Unfortunately, though, such promise is obliterated when you actually want to use it. Not only does it require a separate software install (Windows only) to make calls, including SkypeOut and SkypeIn, it also needs two free USB ports through which its dongle and cradle channel call data.
True WiFi it's not, and while it does eventually work, the quality of the signal on the move is close to appalling. PCFormat staff

Matteo Carcassi's Study 22 from his Op. 60 set of studies for guitar is another good example of a single line of music with strong harmonic implications. Also of interest here is how Carcassi uses melodic motives for development and unification.
Let's start with the melodic line. The A section (measures 1-8) is clearly made up mainly of arpeggios which outline the harmony as shown.
The B section (measures 9-26) contains the most interesting melodic features based on three related embellishment figures:
1) The "turn" which is a four note figure where the harmonic tone is preceded by a note a step above, then the harmonic tone, followed by a note a step below (many times chromatically altered) before returning to the harmonic tone. Please see the bracketed figure in measure ten for example. Also note the "inverted turn" as seen beginning at the pick-up to measure nine.
2) "Changing tones" where the harmonic tone is followed by its lower and upper neighbor notes before returning to the harmonic tone. See bracketed figure at the end of measure thirteen into measure fourteen.
3) Chromatic lower neighbor note figures such as those seen in measures 18, 20, 21, 22 and 23 that embellish the root or fifth of the chord. These are the three note figure shown within the brackets.
It's easy to see how the lower neighbor note figure is part of the "turn". The "changing tones" are just a slight variation of the turn with the only difference being the location of the harmonic tone. The clever rhythmic placement of these various figures is what I find interesting. Sometimes they occur on strong beats but many times they are buried within the rhythmic pulse as in measures thirteen through seventeen.
Harmonically the most interesting feature is the somewhat unusual move into the mediant key of E minor at the cadence in measure eight and also during the second section in measures seventeen through twenty-four where I hear the B major (with its leading-tone diminished seventh chord) as the dominant of E minor which never resolves. Instead Carcassi decides to return to tonic through a clever manipulation of the B major triad by first changing the D# to D-natural and finally changing the F# to F-natural (measure 26) to create the G7 chord (dominant of C major) preparing the return of the A section in measure twenty-seven, which concludes with the cadence in the tonic key this time. Notice how the same diminished seventh chord (measure six and measure thirty-two) can have two different functions. In measure six it is heard as a leading-tone diminished seventh of E minor and in measure thirty-two it is heard as a leading-tone diminished seventh of G. Remember that the tonic 6/4 chord that occurs just before the G (V) in measure thirty-two is interpreted as dominant harmony with a double appoggiatura (6-5 and 4-3). So the diminished seventh chord preceding this tonic 6/4 chord is not considered a common-tone diminished seventh but a functional leading-tone diminished seventh moving to G.
I consider this an equal opportunity analysis since this study is excellent for classical and or pick technique development. The pdf file below contains the score and analysis.

Alabama Recipes: Campfire cooking
Get fired up
Campfire cooking can be both simple and scrumptious
By Jennifer Kornegay | Photos by Michael Cornelison
Food cooked over an open flame has remained popular long past the era when it was the only option. Making meals outside is no longer a necessity, but a treat, in part, because a flickering fire's intense heat sears quickly and seals in ingredients' moisture and inherent goodness. Its smoke slithers into veggies and sinks into meat, leaving its flavor and fragrance behind. But these aren't the only reasons we do it.
There's something exciting about taming a raw element and bending it to our purpose. Something instinctive and thrilling about the crackle, pop and sizzle of food being transformed by a red-orange blaze, something that goes beyond the thermodynamics and chemistry of cooking and into the realm of magic. And the purest form of this experience is even more primitive than lighting up the patio grill: cooking over a campfire.
If you're planning on doing some camping this fall, choose a few of this month's reader-submitted recipes and stow them in your backpack. They're easy and tasty and will help you take your campfire cooking beyond the basics.

Cook of the Month
Kassie Luster, Central Alabama EC
Kassie and her family enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, often pitching camp at Lake Mitchell and at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores. She and her daughters, ages 8 and 12, especially like preparing meals on a campfire. "We love cooking together and spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but we also love cooking outside," Kassie said. The Campfire Hash recipe is one the three have been working and is now part of their homemade "camp cookbook." We've been adding things to our personal campfire recipe book, and we've not even had a chance to try them all out yet, but we'll keep camping, so we'll get through them all eventually!" Kassie said.
Campfire Hash

- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 pound smoked kielbasa, halved and sliced
- 1 4-ounce can chopped green chilies
- 1 can (15 1/4 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
In a large skillet, cook and stir onion in oil until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add potatoes and cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Add kielbasa; cook and stir until meat and potatoes are tender and browned, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in chilies and corn; heat through then serve.
Grandma's Campfire Beans

Onion "Kisses"
Ingredients needed per person:
- 1 sweet Vidalia onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire or steak sauce
Peel and slice the ends off each onion and carefully core out a cavity. Tuck a bouillon cube into the cavity, follow with butter and finish with sauce. Pull the foil up and around the onion, twisting the top to close (like a Hershey's kiss). Set in fire 10-15 minutes.
Janie Whelton, Baldwin EMC
Dutch Oven Blueberry Pie
- Blueberry pie filling
- Small can crushed pineapple
- Butter or margarine
- Box cake mix
- Sugar
- Dutch oven with sunken lid
- Charcoal
Start with a mound of charcoal that is burning well. Butter the bottom and inside of the Dutch oven with butter or margarine. Put in the blueberry pie filling and the crushed pineapple. Sprinkle cake mix on top of the filling and pineapple mixture. Cut up the rest of the butter or margarine and scatter it over the cake mix. Sprinkle with white sugar. Set the Dutch oven on the charcoal, placing several pieces of charcoal on top of the oven. Let it cook until done.
Edward Armstrong, Joppa
Mountain Pie
- Butter
- 2 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 5 slices of pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce
- Square Pie Iron
Heat up the pie iron in the fire for about 5 minutes; while that is heating, butter both pieces of bread. Take out and open up the pie iron, placing a piece of bread on each side, butter side facing the iron. Spread the pizza sauce, add the cheese, & top with pepperoni on one side or you could put it on both sides. Carefully close the pie iron together and place in the fire for about 5-7 minutes.
(Considering you probably won't take your measuring cups camping, you can always add as much of each ingredient that you want to better fit your taste. Also add veggies to make a Supreme Mountain Pie!)
Autumn Miller, Wiregrass EC

Campfire cooking tips
Use these bits of wisdom to easily and efficiently prepare your campfire meals.
- • Start by finding a flat, level spot for your fire. Keep at least a10-foot radius between your fire and supplies, tents and chairs, and steer clear of low-hanging branches or brush. Then, create a spot for your fire by getting rid of leaves and other debris and digging a small pit. Next, circle your area in rocks or stones.
- • Gather both small sticks and large ones, and remember that dry wood works best. Form a tepee of smaller sticks over a bundle of leaves, dry grass and tiny twigs. Light the bundle and blow on it gently to help the flame catch the tepee sticks. Once the fire is going, slowly build it up with larger sticks stacked against your tepee.
- • Always have some water near by to extinguish a fire that gets out of hand, and never leave your fire unattended.
- If you've got a full day of hiking and other activities planned before you start dinner, help keep your meat at a safe temperature by freezing it before adding it to your cooler. And use a meat thermometer to ensure that chicken or other poultry is done before you take it off the fire.
- • Chop, prep and measure as many ingredients as you can at home, before you set off to the campsite.
- • Remember to pack paper towels, a cutting board, one large knife and long-handled tongs for removing food from the fire.
And when you are ready to leave your campsite, follow the guidelines set forth by the Leave No Trace organization, including burning all wood and coals to ash, putting out campfires completely and scattering cool ashes. More information is available at https://lnt.org.

Carbohydrates, protein and fat are the three main macronutrients found in foods, and having the right mix of these nutrients at every meal can help you achieve a healthy weight for you. Combining carbs and protein at each meal does not guarantee you will lose weight. The type and amount of carbohydrates you choose and your individual tolerance to carbs can make a big difference in what the right combination is for you to lose weight.
Type of Carbohydrates
Not all carbohydrates are healthy, and choosing the right type of carbs to include at your meal can help you lose weight more easily. Refined and high-glycemic carbohydrates, such as potatoes, white rice, breads, sugar, desserts and most breakfast cereals, can disrupt your blood sugar levels, which can stimulate hunger and cravings within a couple of hours after your meal. Choosing unrefined and low-glycemic carbs, such as nonstarchy vegetables, sweet potatoes, quinoa, old-fashioned oatmeal, fruits and legumes, can help keep your blood sugar and energy more even between your meals so you are not tempted to eat foods that could interfere with your weight loss.
Amount of Carbohydrates
The amount of carbohydrate that you can include at your meals to facilitate weight loss depends on your individual tolerance to carbohydrates. If you have diabetes, have struggled with your weight in the past or carry a lot of your excess weight around the middle, keeping your carb intake low is probably best to allow you to lose weight, as explained by researcher and dietitian Jeff S. Volek in "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living." If you have a low tolerance to carbohydrates, keeping your carb intake to below 15 to 30 grams per meal will give you the best results. Nonstarchy vegetables are your best option to get the carbohydrates, fiber and other important nutrients your body needs, while fruits, yogurt, nuts, legumes and grains should be consumed in controlled portions.
Protein is important to promote satiety and make you feel fuller for longer periods of time, according to the May 2008 issue of the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition." Each of your meals should include a serving of fish, shrimp, pork, beef, chicken, eggs or cheese. Not only is protein important to prevent you from going hungry while losing weight, but it can also help you preserve your lean muscle mass to ensure that the weight you lose is fat and not muscle.
The Right Combination
The right combination of carbs and protein to help you lose weight needs to be individualized. Fat should not be forgotten and is also important to include at each of your meals. A serving of carbs from nonstarchy vegetables, such as kale, cauliflower, zucchini, tomatoes or onions, with 4 to 6 ounces of protein and 1 to 2 tablespoons of fat, such as butter, olive oil, avocado or coconut oil, is a good place to start for most people. Monitor your weight loss progress and tweak your carbs, protein and fat ratios until you find what works best for you.

I'm definitely an ad hock writer but learning to be ok with that. Today in church we were encouraged to write out chapters of our stories and here is one from the last few month. It's a long one but well worth a read.
I'm going to start with an apology not many knew I was facing what I am going to talk about today but I needed the circle on this to be small and I'll explain why later.
So I'm about to go on a sailing trip with the Ellen Macather Cancer Trust in-fact I'm writing this from the train on route. It's my second trip of the season my first being in April earlier this year. 2 days before I had a call, you know the ones you don't want.
I'd had a scan in February, and the results got a little lost. But eventually I got a call in April, saying 'we've looked at your scan'. I'm already in hyper drive! Thinking you don't call for nothing. Come on spit it out… ugh get to the point… What is it? what's wrong?! Still more waffle about how what they were looking for was clear but how sometimes these scans show other things…
Ok now I'm worrying it's not my lungs, there is no scaring. This is what the routine scan was for. What is it?
They found an enlarged lymph node… if you've ever faced cancer you know where my brain was at right in that moment… ok so it's fighting again then? Is it Hodgkins? I am at a higher risk, and that weird complication I had was early signs of this. My mind went straight there!
It wasn't crazy big, but the radiographer had requested an ultrasound scan within 2 months (we were at that 2 month mark then). He says it could be due to an infection or it could be more sinister and with my history he wanted it checked. He want it done quickly because of the timeframe set by radiology. But thinks the best way for this was to have it in Hereford as if any follow up was needed it could be done locally. He also said it wasn't an Immunology issue so they were handing it on. In this I heard we don't think it's infection related (as they deal with all this) and think it could be more sinister.
See once you face cancer you end up living in this place of a fear of relapsing. Living in the unknown and having the looming worry of relapse over you. You also become an expert in reading through the lines of the doctors while it's hard to get their tone across in this I definitely felt the need for the rush to find out.
Within a few mins of putting down the phone I was a mess. In a place where my future was uncertain, and scared at how was going to impact this life I've finally started to get back.
I took a moment, and thought ok let's be rational and rule this out. Have I had any other symptoms?
⁃ tiredness, yes but that could also be down to other things…
⁃ night sweats, ohh actually yes
⁃ Bruising, yep that killer bruise from Cyprus was still lingering months in
⁃ Itchy skin- yep
⁃ Unexplained weight-loss no but it's the only one.
Now I realised this could just be coincidence, but instead of ruling it out it brought just more uncertainty.
Within a few hours, I'd had some people come around me and pray for me. I'd hit the practical mode of planning. Ok, so if I'm fighting it will still be early stages. I'd have minimal treatment and I'd be back to normal within 6months. I'd be ok… I could cope. Right when do I tell people? Who do I tell, how would I get to treatment? Where would I have treatment.
I called the Trust just so they knew where I was at head space wise for the residential trip. They said if I needed to or didn't think I could they would manage without me. I say I'll be ok and they say if you change your mind at any time let us know. I love the trust and how they care for their volunteers.
I arrive to big hugs from the team and a conversation about how if I need time out just to say. Throw myself in and forget about it.
Then just before going home I have a conversation with a young person about a scan they were waiting for, my advice to them was until you know try to assume it's nothing, what's the point wasting time worrying for what could be nothing.
I never realised just how hard this advice really was to follow, til I started to do it myself. Hitting reality of home, I was constantly checking the mail for the letter from my consultant to my G.P for scan referral. I let the waiting consume me. I spent the following few weeks calling doctors to chase things only to experience delay after delay of getting answers. Just getting more and more worried in the waiting.
I soon realised that this was a pointless waste of time. So chose not to let the fear or worry steal from me any longer. While this was a journey that didn't always work. I chose to refocus each time on God knowing he has it all. Knowing that worry solved nothing so why waste my time with it.
In church and academy we sang this song called follow you anywhere by passion. Part of the lyrics are 'there's a million reasons to trust you, nothing to fear for you are by my side, I'll follow you anywhere.' One week we were singing this and I broke. Into such a blubbering mess, because I realised I'm singing this and truly meaning it. But that following God anywhere also means anywhere even back into the fight.
A week or so later I go on a walk with God. It actually felt more like I'd gone 10 rounds with Him. After an hour he says to me that I fail to have desires of the heart all because I'm too afraid of them being ripped out from under me, and while yes I was surrendered it was only because I had nothing to surrender.
The days that followed I went on several more walks and realised just how right this was. I was ready to fight but part of the reason for this was because although yes outcomes were unknown it would bring in a lot of known to. I'd be re-entering my comfort zone and the place I thrived, being a super patient who knew how to navigate through. This was my comfort zone.
I soon realised as I had a plan for if I was to fight I also needed one for if I wasn't. I needed to put those dreams and desires in my heart again, and not be so afraid of loosing the things in my life that I refused to live. In this I realised just how long I lived in the fear of loosing it all.
Yes I've written about this before and I'm not saying I haven't been living, or acting on this by going on the journey of truly living. What I'm realising tho is there is always more. ALWAYS MORE!
I won't say right now what those things in my heart are. But for the first time in the longest time I can truly say I have dreams, I have aspirations and I'm chasing after them unafraid of them being swept away again.
Oh yea the lump.. It's taken 6 months from my initial scan to answers. But I had a scan about 2 weeks ago and it's nothing! NOTHING! The lymph node is still enlarged but completely within normal range, and so nothing to worry about.
Yes I cried when I left the hospital seems like even though I wasn't letting the fear of future hold me. There was still a huge sense of relief that my future didn't look like more drip stands and treatments.
I would have told people if it was something but I felt that worrying others as well was silly and unnecessary. I also decided I didn't want to make a big deal about it and felt it would help with this.
Sometimes we are taken on unexpected journeys to unearth and uncover different things.
This chapter of my life has taught me
⁃ not to live in a place of fear or worry.
⁃ That my faith is strong and knowing I can trust God makes life that bit easier.
⁃ That not everyone needs to know every battle you face, for me this helped because I wasn't constantly being asked for updates from everyone. It also increased my faith because I chose to lean on God in these moments more.
⁃ That doctors are over worked humans who can forget to send letters but be patient with them.
⁃ That I have a future
⁃ That I can really live
⁃ That it's normal to have dreams and aspirations and these can be from God too.
⁃ That prayer works
⁃ Having people that speak life into situations of death and uncertainty is so helpful for keeping you positive and worry free.

ISS invites all to follow our international journey through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. If you would like us to post something, feel free to let us know!
University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents (BOR) and US Government policies require all F-1 and J-1 students and their dependents to be covered by an approved health insurance plan. To meet this requirement, Clayton State will automatically enroll all international students in the school sponsored SHIP (Student Health Insurance Plan) each Fall and Spring semester (Summer semester is included with the Spring coverage).
After course registration International students should then go to the following site:
Students should self-purchase the PGH Global Plan for F-1 students and then submit their waiver during the waiver deadline. This will remove the SHIP plan charge from your account. If you do not apply for the waiver and show proof of the PGH plan by the deadline you will have to pay for SHIP.
PGH is more cost effective for international students so we encourage you to use this option.
If students have alternate insurance they wish to use instead of SHIP (PGH or an equivalent insurance plan) they must request a waiver each Fall and Spring by the published deadline. Failure to request a waiver or rejection of your waiver request obligates the student to enroll in SHIP, no exceptions, regardless of other plans. Deadlines are communicated to international students at International Check-in and in the ISSO Newsletter emailed to the student's Clayton State email address each month prior to the deadlines.
Coverage during OPT is strongly advised, but is optional. Health Insurance protects international students from the devastating financial impacts of unforeseen medical costs in the US.

Camara Laye, a Guinean novelist, short story writer, and essayist, was born in 1924 in the ancient city of Kouroussa, Upper Guinea. Brought up in a devout Muslim family, he later moved to France, where he studied engineering in Paris and supplemented his scholarship stipend by doing odd jobs.
In 1956, he left France to return to Africa, moving first to Dahomey (Benin) and later to Ghana. When Guinea, gained independence in 1958, Laye was appointed the country's ambassador to Ghana. He went on to serve the Guinean government in several capacities before eventually falling out with the country's president, Sekou Touré. After being imprisoned, Laye fled Guinea and eventually settled in Senegal, where he lived in exile until his death in 1980.
Laye's first novel, The African Child (titled L'Enfant Noir in French) was published in 1954 and received the Priz Charles Veillon – one of France's leading literary awards. The African Child was one of the first novels by an African writer to gain international attention, and is still regarded among the continent's best works.
The book is a nostalgic memoir of his childhood, growing up in the Malinké culture in his native Guinea during the pre-colonial period. His second book, Le Regard du Roi (The Radiance of the King), which came out in France in 1954, is generally recognized as his most fascinating work.
Laye's last book, The Guardian of the Word (published in 1979), is a collection of native songs and lore. It received the Prix de l'Académie Française.

Selected Works
The African Child (1954) – also titled The Dark Child
The Dark Child is a distinct and graceful memoir of Camara Laye's youth in the village of Koroussa, French Guinea. Long regarded Africa's preeminent Francophone novelist, Laye (1928-80) herein marvels over his mother's supernatural powers, his father's distinction as the village goldsmith, and his own passage into manhood, which is marked by animistic beliefs and bloody rituals of primeval origin. Eventually, he must choose between this unique place and the academic success that lures him to distant cities. More than autobiography of one boy, this is the universal story of sacred traditions struggling against the encroachment of a modern world. A passionate and deeply affecting record, The Dark Child is a classic of African literature.
The Radiance of the King (2011 reprint by NYRB)
At the beginning of this masterpiece of African literature, Clarence, a white man, has been shipwrecked on the coast of Africa. Flush with self-importance, he demands to see the king, but the king has just left for the south of his realm. Traveling through an increasingly phantasmagoric landscape in the company of a beggar and two roguish boys, Clarence is gradually stripped of his pretensions, until he is sold to the royal harem as a slave. But in the end Clarence's bewildering journey is the occasion of a revelation, as he discovers the image, both shameful and beautiful, of his own humanity in the alien splendor of the king.
