About Namikoshi Shiatsu
Shiatsu Koh Samui, ThailandNamikoshi Shiatsu, a manual therapy developed in Japan through a synthesis of Eastern and Western medical concepts, uses mankind's most ancient medical tools – the human hand and human hearts – to treat the patient using a holistic approach that stimulates the body's own natural self-healing power to correct imbalances and effect a cure from within. In contrast to the compartmentalized, industrialized approach of Western medicine, the shiatsu therapist treats the whole individual, tailoring treatment to the person's condition to thus guide him or her towards improved physical and mental wellbeing.
What distinguishes shiatsu from other manual therapies is that it employs no rubbing or kneading techniques, but instead uses the fingers and palms to apply sustained, vertical pressure to acu-points throughout the body, penetrating gently but deeply to flush out accumulated toxins, promote the flow of blood and lymph, and restore optimal functioning to the internal organs, autonomic nervous system, and endocrine system.
By limbering the muscles and freeing up the body's myofascial matrix, shiatsu also facilitates increased range of motion and allows the skeletal system to rediscover its natural alignment.
In the East, it has long been held that "a good physician treats illness before it occurs"
Illness and injury are often preceded by reduced physical and mental functioning due to a buildup of fatigue that manifests itself through everyday symptoms such as headaches, lethargy, dullness, or stiffness in the muscles of the neck and back. The body gradually loses its ability to maintain equilibrium, leaving it susceptible to further complications.
Different theoretical approaches to shiatsu have been developed, some modeled on Western anatomy and physiology, others on Eastern concepts of the flow of Ki energy through meridians linked to the various organ systems. But, regardless of the theoretical overlay, the essence of shiatsu lies in the concept of "Diagnosis and therapy combined." Using this approach, the therapist senses irregularities in the patient's body directly with her hands and refines the treatment accordingly, making it possible to benefit even those people whose symptoms resist conventional diagnosis. This is an intuitive approach in which the therapist's ultimate textbook is the patient in front of her – but it is an intuition informed by a wealth of accumulated experience and understanding of the human body.
Shiatsu is not just a matter of physical technique alone: it is a therapy based on a spirit of kindness and compassion. There is a saying in Japan that "The heart of shiatsu is like a mother's love – press on the body and nurture the wellsprings of life." When shiatsu is applied in this spirit, therapist and patient experience a direct, emotional bond that further enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.

With "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D" opening later this month, it's appropriate that the first three installments in the kid-friendly action franchise make their Blu-ray debuts.
Directed by one man studio Robert Rodriguez, the "Spy Kids" movies have a goofball charm all their own, a by-product of the "one of the family" feel that has persisted on the set of all four movies.
In this exclusive look at the "behind the scenes" bonus features, Rodriguez sits down with stars Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara to talk about how he practically raised them over the course of ten years (the original "Spy Kids" was released in 2001) - even taking the notion of "father figure" to a literal level at Vega's recent wedding.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"Spy Kids," "Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams," and "Spy Kids 3D: Game Over" are available on Blu-ray tomorrow. "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D" opens everywhere August 19th.

Choi Yeojin poses with her DWTS partner and coach, Park Jiwoo.
Park is Korea's number one ballroom dancer.
Let's first watch Choi/Park's and Hyoyeon/Kim's pasodoble.
● Choi Yeojin & Park Jiwoo (Pasodoble): "I Will Survive" (Click to watch.)
● Hyoyeon & Kim Hyeongseok ( Pasodoble): "España Cañí" (Gypsy Spain) (Click to watch.)
Choi is a Korean-Canadian actress and model who caught my eye in a 2004 KBS drama, Mianhada, Saranghanda (미안하다, 사랑한다, "I'm Sorry, I Love You"), in which she played Moon Jiyoung, the ex-girlfriend of Cha Moohyuk (played by So Jisub).
|Choi Yeojin poses with So Jisub in "I'm Sorry, I Love You."
"I've been practicing 10 hours a day for the final. I even postponed shooting a TV drama to focus on this," she said. "I learned ballet when I was young, and I dreamed of becoming a ballerina. But after my parents divorced, we emigrated to Canada when I was in the first year of middle school. Then we went through some financial difficulties and I had to give up my dream. Now I'm just really happy to be on the stage."
Choi debuted via the 2001 Super Elite Model Contest, and has eight years of acting experience. "Viewers like my dancing more than my acting," she said. "I was kind of frustrated as an actress because I always played the same kind of characters and ended up projecting stereotypes, which could bore viewers. But now I'm much happier because I can turn into a glamorous dancer every time I get on stage."
Choi said that even though she has picked up a few injuries during the filming of the dance shows -- a ruptured muscle in her lower back and a torn ligament in one of her toes -- she has no regrets about joining the program.
"I will dance the paso doble and cha-cha in the final round," she said. "As I know this will be my last performance, I feel quite relaxed about things. I'll just give it my best shot, so I won't have any reason to feel disappointed with myself later." (Source Link)
Now, check out Choi/Park's and Hyoyeon/Kim's final performance on the show, cha-cha-cha, and another special performance featuring four season one contestants and their professional partners.

UT study sees link of wells, quakes
Most recent earthquakes in North Texas happened close to injection wells used to dispose of wastewater from oil and gas drilling in the region, according to new research.
A two-year study by the University of Texas at Austin also found that the relatively minor temblors happened more often than indicated in previous investigations.
The UT study, published this week in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," is the latest to suggest a link between drilling and seismic activity.
"You can't prove that any one earthquake was caused by an injection well," said Cliff Frohlich, the University of Texas researcher who conducted the study. "But it's obvious that wells are enhancing the probability that earthquakes will occur."
A U.S. Geological Survey report released earlier this year found that an increase in small temblors throughout the Midwest coincides with the injection of drilling wastewater in deep disposal wells. An Ohio state agency concluded in March that a wastewater injection well was responsible for a dozen earthquakes in Youngstown last year. And in June, the National Research Council released a report concluding that while there is a low risk of earthquakes directly tied to oil and gas drilling techniques, underground wastewater injections pose a higher risk of triggering seismic activity.
Drilling companies have said they do not believe earthquakes are linked to injection wells.
The wells store wastewater from hydraulic fracturing, a technique that involves pumping mixtures of water, sand and chemicals underground to release natural gas and oil trapped in dense rock formations.
About a third of the water that is pumped underground emerges as "flowback" water before a well starts producing. Later, the well discharges a briny, metal-laden "produced" water that comes from the formation itself.
The wastewater sometimes goes to municipal treatment plants or is saved for reuse at future sites but also commonly is injected underground.
Frohlich's research focused on seismic data from the Barnett Shale region of Texas from November 2009 to September 2011. He concluded that the most reliably pinpointed earthquakes occurring during that time were in eight groups, all within two miles of one or more injection wells.
That's a change from earlier studies that associated two earthquake groups in the area with specific injection wells.
But his data also show disparities. In some cases where drillers rapidly disposed of wastewater underground, there were temblors nearby. But in other cases with similar circumstances, there were no resulting quakes.
Frohlich speculated the difference may be that wastewater injected in some wells reaches existing faults.
Some of the earthquakes were too small to feel on the surface; others, as high as 2.5 in magnitude, were still too light to pose any real danger, the study said.
Although Frohlich's research focused on the Barnett Shale, recent rumblings in the Eagle Ford formation also have drawn attention. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake rattled central and south Texas last October - followed by a magnitude 3.3 quake in November. Neither was linked with injection wells or drilling in the region, but they stoked fears of fracturing-tied tremors.
Federal regulations governing drilling - including newly proposed mandates for hydraulically fractured wells on public lands - have not tackled the issue head-on. But some states already have moved to address it. Ohio officials, for example, responded to the Youngstown quakes by imposing new permitting requirements and geological mandates on drillers.
Kevin Book, an analyst with ClearView Energy Partners, said this year that he anticipates Texas and other states that are accustomed to oil and gas exploration will have measured, "pragmatic" responses - including moving disposal wells.

Stephen Harper's office says it's "difficult to imagine" the prime minister would have any relevant information to share in the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy.
Spokesman Jason MacDonald says in an email that the PMO has responded "fully and freely" to requests for assistance from RCMP investigators.
He adds the Mounties have made it clear they don't believe Harper has any knowledge of Duffy's alleged wrongdoing and that there would be no reason for the prime minister to be involved should Duffy's defence team attempt to have him testify.
The RCMP announced last week it was charging Duffy with 31 criminal counts related to his expense claims, accusing him of misspending more than $200,000.
The charges stem from the disgraced senator's housing and travel expenses, and a $90,000 payment from Nigel Wright, the former chief of staff to Harper.
Duffy has denied any criminal wrongdoing.
A new court filing detailing the charges accuses Duffy of charging taxpayers for a personal trainer, a makeup artist and for personal travel to funerals.
The 68-year-old senator is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 16.
In April, the RCMP concluded there wasn't enough evidence to charge Wright. The prime minister had previously insisted Duffy repay his expenses, but the senator said he didn't have the money.
Wright then stepped in and paid $90,000 to Duffy to help him cover his expenses.
The expense scandal has dogged the Harper government for more than a year. The next federal election is expected to be held in the fall of 2015, though Harper could call a spring vote.

Two worlds are about to converge on the season finale of Witches of East End.
On the penultimate episode, Joanna (Julia Ormond) destroyed the key to Asgard, the world from which she and her family of witches came. But when a mysterious - and very curious - man named Mike (Enver Gjokaj) showed up to Ingrid's (Rachel Boston) library, he revealed that not only is there a second key located in Fair Haven, but that the key is Ingrid herself. Will Mike use Ingrid to get to the other side? Will Penelope (Virginia Madsen) destroy her son's wedding to Freya (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) so that she can return home to Asgard and reunite with Archibald (Matthew Del Negro)? And will the Beauchamp girls work with their newly discovered father to save everyone? We checked in with both Boston and executive producer Maggie Friedman who answered our burning questions heading into finale.
Check out our favorite TV witches
Ingrid and Freya just met their father, but weren't happy to see him. How important is he in this episode?Maggie Friedman: He plays a very pivotal role in the finale and he brings a plot twist with him in the finale. In the future, who knows? Ingrid has not quite forgiven him, but they do come together in the finale and have a scene between the two of them that's quite important.
Rachel Boston: Now that her father is back, Ingrid has to find a way to connect with him and find a way to forgive him to see if he could possibly help. It's nice to have someone to be safe with and talk about what and who we are, so I think she's trying to figure out that relationship and work on forgiveness in the finale.
What's the deal with Mike? Is he good or bad?Friedman: I think he's determined and sincere in his desires. There are a few twists in regards to his character.
Boston: He is definitely a big part of the revelation of who Ingrid is who the Beauchamp family is and he guides us even though we find out he's on a much deeper journey than we first expected. He guides us to where we're going to end off in the season finale and he's a guide to show Ingrid who she is and what she can become.
2013 Fall TV Report Card: How's the new class doing?
The episode is centered on Freya and Dash's (Eric Winter) wedding. Will Freya go through with it and is Dash's brother Killian (Daniel Di Tomasso) really leaving?Friedman: At the wedding, Penelope's entire plan that she's been cooking up will come to fruition and it's big and there's a battle; it's pretty action-packed. We outdid ourselves out there. Things will come to a head in the love triangle and between Dash and Killian in a major and surprising way. And Killian is definitely packing up his boat in the [episode]!
Boston: What alarms Ingrid [about the brothers] is that one is Freya's soul mate and one is the destroyer. Ingrid wants her sister to be safe, so she'll go to any lengths to make that possible, but with matters of the heart, it's her choice and Ingrid has to be supportive of which direction she chooses.
Will more mythology surrounding Asgard be revealed?Friedman: One of the mythology things we'll delve into in the finale is that we'll see a piece of a past life that is game-changing in terms of the present. We love watching the characters explore their past and a great part of the show is getting to see them in their different lives and different time periods and so there will be a lot more of that coming up.
TV Couples: Hot or not?
What will Wendy's (Madchen Amick) involvement be in the finale?Friedman: We'll see the cat! Wendy and Joanna definitely band together to battle with Penelope. They pull together to fight her and it's pretty epic and Wendy is a little skeptical about whether they can pull it off but she dives in.
I personally love Wendy. Did you think she'd be so popular among viewers?Friedman: I didn't know she'd be the breakout character. I think she's a really fun character to write for because she says what she means and does what she wants and is really out there and free-spirited and brash and funny. When I was writing her in the pilot it was fun, but Madchen brings so much to the table and elevates it. What you see on screen so much of that is Madchen because she's a really spirited, funny, no bullsh-- person, and she brings a lot to the role. It really makes me happy people love her because she's really close to my heart and a fun character I aspire to be like and a lot of people I think would love to have her tenacity and bravery.
Give us your final tease for the finale. Friedman: I can tell you that there is more than one major death.
Boston: Ingrid finds her strength and turns into a badass. To go from at the beginning where she was so quiet and figuring out who she was to this woman who is really empowered has been a really wonderful journey to play. In the finale, she's asked to be the one to stand up and the audience is really going to enjoy watching that. The last five minutes will really shock you and [it] ends with the Beauchamp women looking into this beautiful opening for all that we can explore in Season 2.
Are you excited for the finale? Witches of East End airs on Sunday at 10/9c on Lifetime.

Healthcare workforce-Redefining the skill needs : Key note address on Skill development for Healthcare Delivery Professionals – by Dr. Rakesh Waghmore
Dr. Rakesh Waghmore
OSD – Govt. of Maharashtra
The special key note addressed by the officer on special duty, Dr. Rakesh Waghmore is driven on the two factors that is the current status of healthcare in India. The status to be achieved in the next 5 years and the skills of the medical staff. He talks about the steady increase in the life expectancy in India, adding further shortfall of doctors and medical staff. Mr.Waghmore also mentioned about the various type of skills required by the medical staff and the associated manpower to address the medical needs of such a large population. They key skill gap identified by their study is "the lack of IT skills for the medical and paramedical staff.
Artificial intelligence carries a diverse importance in the healthcare industry and the intrusion of the technology can augment and enhance the capacity of the doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical staff. AI can also automate the office process. He also talked about the prevalence of therobotic surgeries in the western countries and the infant stage adoption in India. These AI assisted techniques can improve pathologist's productivity. Despite the demand supply gap in the healthcare industry, India serves 250,000 international patients annually.
Mr.Wagmore concluded by stating that, a systematic structured approach of competency training that should be embedded and is directed towards specific outcomes. He also opined that, innovative technologies should be adopted to impart new skills.

Diana Martin Letellier tells a family story about William Henry Martin
Item 74016 info
Sebago Historical Society
Listen to Diana Martin Letellier discuss her great grandfather:
The transcription of Diana Martin Letellier's story:
My Name is Diana Martin Letellier. This is the story my family was told over and over and over of my great grandfather William Henry Martin a resident of Sebago who was a soldier in the Civil War.
He ran away and enlisted at age 16 and while home on furlough in June of 1864 he decided to visit relatives on the Folly Road. He tried to ride up the road but it was blocked by a family living there. They were Southern sympathizers and wouldn't let him pass and he got very upset and fired a shot at their cabin.
He was arrested, sent to Bridgton and charged with assault, then transferred to Portland jail and was there until October when the charges were dropped. Then he returned to service.
William Henry Martin was honorably discharged in 1866, came home to Sebago and married his sweetheart Caroline Davis. Before their 8th child was born he died of appendicitis at age 39. My grandfather was his fifth child and second son and I live in my grandfather's house today.

We'll post our annual fireworks watching guide soon.
But in the meantime, we figured those who like to create their own entertainment in their backyards would like to know which fireworks are legal (and illegal) across the D.C. area.
Drum roll please...
Washington, D.C.
In D.C., some fireworks are permitted to be stored, displayed and sold. Others are illegal, and individuals found in possession of, or using, illegal fireworks can face fines, penalties and/or arrest.
In general, any fireworks or firecrackers that explode -- such as cherry bombs, roman candles, or floral shells -- are illegal.
Retailers must secure a permit from the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Service Department and a business license from the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) in order to sell any legal fireworks in the District of Columbia.
In Montgomery County, all fireworks are illegal to possess or discharge, including gold label sparklers. Snap-and-pop noise makers, snakes, and party poppers are the only exception to this law.
Use of the mail for the transportation of fireworks for use in the State of Maryland is illegal. You can't have a private display of fireworks; however, you can have a public display with proper permits and insurance. And it doesn't matter where the fireworks are purchased or how they are brought into Maryland -- fireworks are still illegal.
In Prince George's County, it is illegal for any person to manufacture, possess, store, offer for sale, sell, discharge, use, burn, or explode any fireworks, except that an authorized display may be conducted by a licensed pyrotechnic professional.
Penalties for violations of the law include a fine of up to $1,000 and/or six months in jail.
Prince George's County has banned the sale, use and possession of fireworks based on the danger to our citizens caused by the misuse of these products.
In Frederick County, Md., only gold label sparklers, novelty items, and ground-based sparklers are legal.
It is illegal to discharge fireworks or possess with the intent to discharge any firework that explodes, rises into the air, moves across the ground or shoots projectiles into the air.
Illegal devices include, but are not limited to: firecrackers, roman candles, pop bottle rockets as well as other consumer and commercial shell devices.
A $500 civil citation and/or a criminal penalties can be imposed upon anyone who possesses fireworks with the intent to discharge or discharges fireworks without a permit or not in accordance with other local and State regulations. Each firework is considered a separate offense.
At the expense of the owner, all fireworks possessed or sold in violation of local or State regulations will be seized and forfeited in accordance with Maryland Public Safety Article 10-111.
In Fairfax County, any firework that explodes, emits a flame or sparks higher than 12 feet, or performs as a projectile is prohibited by the Fairfax County Fire Prevention Code. A permit is required for the sale of all fireworks, and these permits are only valid from June 1 to July 15 of each year.
Many fireworks are not available in Northern Virginia because they are illegal. Firecrackers, cherry bombs and skyrockets are just a few examples of fireworks which may be purchased in other areas, but are illegal here. Since even the possession of unapproved fireworks is prohibited in Fairfax County, such fireworks will be confiscated and the person possessing them can be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor.
This carries a maximum penalty of a $2,500 fine and/or one year in jail.
In Alexandria, Va., it is unlawful for any person to store, offer for sale, expose for sale, sell at retail, use or explode any fireworks (including sparklers) within the city limits.
Offenses are Class One misdemeanors in the City of Alexandria and are punishable by a $2,500 fine and/or up to 12 months in prison.
In Falls Church, Va., all consumer fireworks are illegal, including firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, Roman candles, sparklers or other devices of like construction and any or other devices containing any explosive or flammable compound.
The definition of "fireworks", according to the City of Falls Church Fire Prevention Code SFPC-3302.1 includes any combustible or explosive composition, or any substance or combination of substances, or article prepared for the purpose of producing a visible or an audible effect by combustion, explosion, deflagration or detonation.
In Prince William County, sparklers, fountains, Pharaoh's serpents, caps for pistols and pinwheels (commonly known as whirligigs), spinning jennies, or other similar fireworks approved by the Fire Marshal are permissible.
Any such fireworks which explode, emit flame or sparks to a distance greater than 12 feet, rise into the air or travel laterally, or perform as a projectile or fire projectiles other than sparks are prohibited.
All illegal fireworks will be confiscated, and the person responsible may be charged with violation of County or state laws.
Permissible fireworks shall have a hardcoated or slow burning fuse at least 1 1/2 inches long with a burning rate of not less than four (4) seconds. Quick match fuses are prohibited. Such permissible fireworks shall be used only on private property with the approval of the owner of the property.

… says Bob Klapisch in his where-do-free-agents-end-up column:
GM Ken Williams said he wouldn't be able to afford Matsui after his World Series MVP performance, but the White Sox are nevertheless interested. They need a left-handed power hitter to replace Jim Thome — and Matsui will need a home after he discovers how lean the market is. The Yankees wish him well, but have no plans to bring him back. Matsui earned $13 million in 2009 but at age 35 with two bad knees that prevent him from playing the field, he'll have to accept far less to continue his career in the majors. A deal with the White Sox makes sense on both sides.

there is a proposal in our state to allow for the drilling of natural gas deposits in the Marcellus and Utica Shale underground geological formations that exist throughout a large portion of New York State.
This includes areas in watershed lands that supply water to over 9 million people in New York City and adjacent areas.
the trouble with this proposal is that oil and gas companies dig using a process called hydraulic fracturing. The process involved pumping huge amounts of water into wells in order to facilitate the extraction of the natural gas deposits. This water is reportedly laced with toxic material including benzene and other poisonous and carcinogenic substances.
Some of the fluid employed can be recovered, however, much of the fluid is left to seep into the ground which can leach down into aquifers that feed into our wells, streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. This would threaten the purity and safety of our water supply. The fluid that is reclaimed has to be stored and eventually disposed of, but how and where are very problematic.
A document was prepared seeking permission to drill in our state using hydraulic fracturing technology. The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is considering this document for approval. Some public hearings were held across the state and the public comment period was extended an additional 30 days expiring on December 31, 2009.
A decision by the DEC is expected soon.
Several environmental organizations have spoken out against hydraulic fracturing including Environmental Advocates of new York, Riverkeeper and the Atlantic Chapter of the Sierra Club. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has taken a strong stance against drilling in watershed areas using this process. Many elected officials have voiced opposition as well.
Hydraulic fracturing has already poisoned some wells and waterways in other states where it is allowed. Some fish kills have been reported. Yet despite all of this evidence and opposition, the drilling lobby is calling for thousands of wells to be drilled throughout New York State using hydraulic fracturing.
These wells use diesel burning drill equipment that run 24/7. Habitat and wildlife are disturbed because land has to be cleared around each well. Truck traffic to and from these wells disturbs the quality of life for residents living near these sites.
There are experts who feel that technologies can be developed to extract natural gas deposits safely without the use of harmful chemicals that can contaminate our water supply. the other problems associated with drilling may also be able to be mitigated. These options should be studied and pursued.
There are just so many reasons not to use the hydraulic fracturing process. If the city water supply ever became contaminated, a filtration system would have to be built, costing billions. It would probably take years to construct. What would be the toll on our health and on our economy?
Please take the time to contact the governor and your state representatives to ask for their help in preventing the use of hydraulic fracturing in New York State.

I don't often base my theology on my feelings. Now, I do think God implants desires, instincts, and often feelings inside of us to better communicate His own heart. But I am a cautious person and I rarely trust my own feelings over the judgment of someone I consider wiser than myself.
The apostle Paul (someone probably wiser than myself) wrote to one of his churches: "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything" Ephesians 5:22-24.
So I might look around and think, Man, guys are dumb. Or I might consider my own opinions on a certain matter and think, I could give much wiser input than HE could about this decision – but when it comes to my future husband (and yes, we have a date set) I know what Paul has to say.
However, I don't think that's all he has to say.
Ephesians chapter five isn't only about marriage. In fact, it's actually about the Church and being "imitators of God." Just ONE verse before the (in)famous passage on husbands and wives, Paul writes "be subject to one another in the fear of Christ" (Ephesians 5:21).
Backing up, his whole thought goes like this:
"So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord ; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father ; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ" Ephesians 5:17-21).
My first thought is, wow. Paul is trying to impart the importance of humble, selfless community. We are not to spend our time getting drunk; it's unsightly and a waste of time. We are to speak to each other in psalms! According to Strong's concordance, the Greek psalmois used in the verse means we should communicate with each other as though we were musical instruments. My communication to another believer should be a "sacred ode." That's a lot more grace and intentionality than that with which believers often speak to each other, I think.
Then Paul tells us to be subject to each other in the fear of Christ. Now, the Fear of the LORD is a different subject entirely. My fiancé is a biblical studies student with a concentration on the Old Testament, and he did a very extensive paper on how the Fear of the LORD means a lot more than "reverence" or "respect." One source I remember him telling me about described this fear as the fear you might have of a spouse. Not afraid because they abuse you, but afraid that you might displease them, break your vows, or wound them. The fear is like living with great care and caution because the love you have for them is so strong. I guess that is sort of a side-note on my thoughts, but I have a feeling that this Fear is an important, underlying root in examining how and why we treat each other the way we do.
So, we are to (in and through this Fear of Christ) be subject to our Christian brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers. This is the same word used in the following verse: "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the LORD" (Ephesians 5:22). On the one hand, I think it's important to note that the word is the same. If we are supposed to subject ourselves to all our Christian brethren, of course we must to our spouses! And yet, the text clearly does go further. It says for me to be subject to my "own" husband – specifically (not yours, not hers, and not any other man) denoting that this submission is a little different. Paul does not say submit through or in Christ (as he does in Ephesians 5:21) but says just like the Church submits to Christ. Similarly, and of striking importance to a later point, Paul also says that husbands are to love their wives just like Christ loved the ChurchEphesians 5:25.
He is setting up a model here for us to follow. This is an important relationship; one that God has clearly treasures and values. Marriage is so important that it's modeled after our relationship with Christ. Clearly it's an imperfect model (because no one is Christ- Romans 3:10). But it's something.
And here's something I find more fascinating the more I read it:
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself ; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body" Ephesians 5:25-30.
I have seen many controversial sermons, messages, and articles tackle the role of wives in Ephesians 5. But you know what I have not heard as much about?
- Husband: guide your wife so faithfully and righteously that you keep her holy and blameless- never lead her into a bad or dangerous situation.
- Husband, nourish and cherish your wife (mind, body, spirit) with all the care and caution of self-preservation. You would do anything to keep yourself alive, well, satisfied, and happy. Do that for her as though her body (mind, spirit) was your own.
- Husband, love her just like Christ loves the Church. Really. Like he ministered to her. Suffered and died for her. Pursues her every day to make her love him like he loves her.
Wow. Wow. I can't think of a greater charge in Scriptures than "love [insert person here] as Christ loves the church." Because Christ's love for his Body is endless, perfect, wise, flawless, and selfless. He listens to us, protects us, works with our faults, guides our choices, and rolls with all the punches of every new age. And men cannot be that, not really. But they are called to try. Just like I, as a woman, will not be someone who can be good at subjecting myself to my husband. But I know that my soon-to-be-husband is the kind of man who will do everything he can to love me like Christ loves the Church, so I am going to try my best to subject myself to him in our discussions and decisions- just as Christ laid down his own human will for the Father's greater plan.
It has become a firm conviction of mine that women were designed by God to be amazing helpers. I mean, we really are amazing helpers. There is something about women that I find awe-inspiring and fascinating. How we can be single-mindedly devoted to nurturing, assisting, planning, or caring. How weird instincts kick in when somebody is bleeding or hungry or crying. And obviously not every woman has all of these things cultivated beautifully. I myself am certainly in the midst of learning how to be a woman. But basically for every sort of man, there is a sort of woman that is a magnificent helper for him. I have found the man I am supposed to help. He has found the woman he is supposed to love. Neither of us take that responsibility lightly.
I suppose my current conclusion on the roles of husbands and wives is that their mandates really are strikingly similar when you get down to brass tacks and examine context: Reflect Christ. God made women in such a way that it will be easier in some ways to be the ones subjecting. Having a mandate to submit also gives us necessary reminders of how Christ is our head and we have to daily submit to his will. God made men in such a way that they are ready to tackle the adventure of loving, and having the responsibility for the family decisions reminds them of how Christ cares for us, and to soberly approach any decisions they make.
I'm okay with men and women being different. But in this matter I think we really have the same calling: to be Christ's love to our spouses. To always be willing to concede, give up, or make the sacrifice. We are just bad at doing that. Otherwise, we wouldn't be writing endless articles (like this one!) about what Paul has to say about God's heart for marriage. But God calls us to be better than we are. Which is exciting for me. Because that means He believes in me, and that He's willing to help me, and He wants to make my marriage into Something that Looks Like Him.

The idea for me hosting the event for the National Drug Facts Week (NDFW) came from my career as a forensic chemist—that is someone who examines drugs and chemical evidence related to crimes. In my job, I have direct contact with analyzing controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other illicit and diverted drugs.
I am also a training coordinator. One of my duties in this role is to interact with high school students, but I noticed a lot of them use street slang terms for drugs and are misinformed about drugs of abuse.
Since I've ordered publications from NIDA in the past to assist with my drug education program, I was on the Web site recently and noticed National Drug Facts Week: Shatter the Myths advertised there. I was immediately intrigued by this initiative because I have been analyzing drugs for 10 years, I love what I do, and I express that by giving back to the community and sharing my knowledge about forensic science and drug education.
The first NDFW event held in Philadelphia will be at the recreation center in the community that I grew up in. The planning process required me to reach out to various businesses, schools, community centers, and radio stations. So far I've been a little discouraged because not everyone will support your cause, but what motivates me is my passion for what I do. I'm also motivated by this quote: "My hunger for success is fueled by my passion." :-)
So, if you are a teen and live near the area, you're more than welcome to participate!
Antoinette T. Thwaites is a Laboratory Program Scientist and a founder of the Association of Women in Forensic Science. She also serves as a training coordinator for the Philadelphia Police Department/Forensic Science Center.
women are specal and they are the ones not to be doing drugs, i think teen girls should read this.
Hi Antoinette
I enjoyed reading your post. I too have worked with drug users and the peer pressure and fun that kids associate with drugs needs to be addressed. We seem to be chasing our tails and trying to band aid the problem. I think its great what your doing and starting at the grass roots before the trouble begins. Keep up the good work and good luck with the venture

Education is the key and working with young women earlier rather than later is the key.

my favorite blog
I have seen the results that drugs leave. All of us need to learn more about this subject so we can help those affected by drugs.
I fully support the work you are doing. No one like you can explain to young people the consequences of drug abuse.
I think it's very important that these tasks are carried out teaching in schools; (often parents don´t know how to answer the questions or young people are not dared to ask) who are professionals who give them talks: psychologists, pedadgogos, forensics or even people who have used drugs and are now rehabbing. They must be clear that should be far from the world of drugs and learn to relate to people not harmful.

Dallas — Mike Feinman has changed addresses in the health club industry but not his personal address. Last month, Gold's Gym International (GGI), Dallas, announced that Feinman would be its chief operating officer. Feinman resigned from 24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA, on Jan. 28 after serving as 24 Hour's Dallas-based vice president.
"A big part of why I resigned was a wonderful opportunity with Gold's, and frankly, the opportunity also to stay in Dallas," says Feinman. "We have two kids in high school, and it's always painful to pull kids out."
Feinman will oversee national operations for GGI's 62 corporate-owned facilities and will report directly to David Schnabel, CEO of GGI. Feinman says he and Schnabel have known each other for years.
"I've really believed in the Gold's brand," Feinman says. "To me, it's the Harley Davidson of the fitness industry, the Hard Rock Café of the restaurant industry. It's got an edge. It's got a personality. For me, it's an opportunity of a lifetime."
Dave Reiseman, GGI spokesperson, says the company has not had someone in the position of chief operating officer for some time. Two vice presidents, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast, will now report to Feinman, Reiseman says. Feinman will be in charge of all areas of GGI's corporate-owned club operations, including membership sales, corporate sales, customer care, personal training and group exercise.
"We've known Mike for several years now and are excited to have him on board," Schnabel said in a company statement. "We've admired his accomplishments from afar and look forward to having his expertise in-house. Mike will bring great energy, knowledge and capability to our organization."
At 24 Hour, Feinman oversaw some of the company's biggest initiatives including 24 Hour's celebrity-licensed clubs and new business ventures, such as the company's smaller-format facilities. Before becoming vice president, Feinman ran operations for the company's 70-club central Midwest division and won a 24 Hour award for top performance in the company two years in a row.
Prior to his time at 24 Hour, Feinman spent 18 years at Pepsico (now known as Yum Brands), owner of several fast food concepts. As a senior director, Feinman ran operations across 80 restaurant locations and led the Taco Bell training function for the 7,000 company, franchise and license locations. He also developed customer-feedback systems and a 30,000-restaurant operations evaluation system.
"There are some franchisors out there that spend their time just selling franchises, and I would never work for a company like that," Feinman says. "I know that Keith Albright [GGI's senior vice president of franchising] here is very focused on making sure that our franchisees are successful and are provided lots of support.

Edible Volcano
I do have to post this because many of you may be doing volcano projects at school and I guarantee that if you have your teachers permission this will be a huge hit with the students because they get to eat it! This would be fun for parties too!
Several years ago my oldest daughter had a volcano project at school. She had eaten a dessert called the chocolate volcano once and thought it would be cool to do one for school. Easier said then done until my mother and I got brainstorming. We borrowed my mother's chocolate fountain and got to work on how to build some cake up around the fountain. When all was said and done it was the most awesome volcano we had ever seen. So, of course the following year when my other daughter had a volcano project we had to repeat the edible volcano!
I apologize I do not have pictures of each step nor of the finished volcano so I hope the pictures I do show help to give you visual of what to do.
- First you need a chocolate fountain. Some are taller than others so you may not need all three layers as I describe. The one I used was a larger version so you may have to do a trial round first and put it all together to make sure what works before the actual event or adjust your cake sizes to fit a smaller fountain. You need a chocolate fountain that will allow you to only use the cylinder with top & auger parts without having to use the different plastic tiers. You will be building up around the cylinder only.
- Take a round cake cardboard (can find at any craft store and Wal-Mart). Cut a whole in the center. Slide down around the base of the cylinder to lie flat on the top of the bowl of the fountain. You will be layering your cakes on top of this cardboard.
- You will need to make three different chocolate cakes.
- The first is a one layer round cake. I used about a 15-16 inch pan and the cake was about 2 inches high. You will cut a whole in the middle and slide down the cylinder to lie on the cardboard cake piece.
- The second cake is a bundt cake. Mine was about a 12 inch cake pan. This you will slide down the cylinder to lie on top of the first cake. Notice it "already" has a whole so that job is done for you! Yippy!
- The last cake if you need it is an oversized cupcake for the top. Notice in the picture it has a normal size cupcake and then the larger cupcake. If you look in most kitchen supply areas next to the normal 12 cupcake pans they should have the larger size 6 cupcake pan. Take the cupcake and carefully cut a whole in the center. Turn the cupcake upside down so the large top will now be on the bottom. Carefully slide it down the cylinder to lie on the top of the bundt cake. You should be able to place the lid top for the cylinder on after putting on the cupcake.
- Now that your cakes make a pyramid type shape you will need to frost and decorate it. Using chocolate frosting make sure to cover the entire cake and up around the sides of the cylinder top. You can also decorate it with green sprinkles in areas to look like trees or if you feel very talented you can pipe frosting to look like rocks and trees around the cake.
- For the actual lava you will take approximately 1-2 bottles of Hershey's Caramel Syrup depending on the size of your fountain. Add enough red food coloring and shake the caramel in the bottle until you get the color you want. Before you present your volcano fill the base of the fountain with the caramel. Make sure you have enough caramel to allow the fountain to run properly! If your cardboard goes all the way to the edges of the fountain bowl you may have to cut a small whole at one edge of the cardboard before putting it on the base to allow you room to pour in the caramel.
- Now the fun part! Turn on the fountain and watch the caramel lava flow out the top and down around your cake. Cut and serve!

"Go get the inspirational speeches from someone else. I'm [angry]," Williams told MLB.com, responding to a question concerning the White Sox chances to claim an American League Central over the final 40 games. "This team should be 10 games over .500 right now.
"That's the bad news. The good news is we still have time to right the ship. But if you are looking for inspiration, or anyone is, or pats on the back from this recent surge, you are looking at the wrong person. I'll give you a pat on the back if you end up in first place."
Williams said that anything short of winning the division would be an obvious disappointment, adding that winning the division really isn't even good enough in the White Sox championship-oriented minds. He acknowledged, as an example, being impressed by Alejandro De Aza's play since called up to the big league club, as the outfielder is batting .310 and infusing life into the White Sox lineup.
But he added that he'll be more impressed if De Aza keeps it up.
"Nothing is going to impress me the rest of the year unless we are in first place at the end," Williams said. "Other than that, it's just find a way to win today."
Other White Sox links:
- James takes a look at Gordon Beckham's struggles, and Zach Stewart's, brief, move to the bullpen.
- J.J. says the Sox may not see much, if any, dropoff with Tyler Flowers taking over the catcher's job and that Sox assistant GM Rick Hahn should be at the top of the list Cubs GM candidates. Fangraphs agrees.
- colin takes a look at Zach Stewart and Mike takes a look at Brent Morel.
- Satchel Price at BTB says the Sox should be spending more at the draft. Baseball America crunched the numbers and the Sox spent the least in the draft in 2011 but the 2007-2011 period as well.
- Chuck Garfien tells us about Jim Thome's late mother Joyce and Brett Ballantini update his Sox player values calculations.

Chocolate and banana cupcakes with a cream cheese banana topping.
And with lots of chocolate chips mixed in, too.
But anything with chocolate chips mixed in automatically moves the yumminess up a notch, right.
For the topping …
Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, egg and banana together and then stir in the chips.
Jump on in there little ones. Get nice and cozy.
For the cake layer you'll need…
Flour, cocoa, sugar, bananas, soda, salt oil and vanilla.
Sift the dry ingredients together and then add the wet. Easy as pie. Or Cupcake.
Plop. Pureed bananas look kinda gross, don't they?
Thank goodness it all gets blended.
I used these lovely parchment paper baking cups. (Found at Hobby Lobby)
And I also used these freestanding muffin cups. (Found at cakeart.com)
Why? Because I'm indecisive. I may not have mentioned it before, but I have a problem making decisions. Even something as simple as cupcake liners. It seems like I can never bake all my cupcakes in the same papers. (Unless I'm taking them somewhere of course.) I know. Kinda weird. But I can never decide which to use or worry that I picked the wrong one and the one I didn't pick is going to look better. So, I'll sneak a few options in there to satisfy my compulsion.
But anyway, when you're ready to fill your liners, just use a scoop to get evenly filled papers.
Fill with chocolate first.
And then with the cream cheese mixture.
In one kind of baking cup if your normal.
Then bake away.
Black Bottom Cupcakes
Cream Cheese Mixture
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 small banana, pureed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
Chocolate Mixture
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large bananas, pureed
1/3 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the cream cheese mixture:
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until nice and fluffy.
- Add banana, egg and vanilla and mix together until combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips and set aside.
For the chocolate mixture:
- Sift together flour, cocoa, sugar, soda and salt using a wire whisk.
- Add bananas, oil and vanilla and mix together on low until combined.
- Use a large scoop to fill cupcake liners with batter.
- Repeat topping the cupcake batter with the cream cheese mixture.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until done.
Makes about 18 cupcakes.
Recipe adapted from Great American Favorite Brand Name Cookbook, 1993.
And enjoy!!!
And if you're wondering. I liked how these looked in the parchment papers best.

I was reading about the topic named "5 reasons why we use oops". So in that article, i have seen a code which is below:-
class Planet { public $World; public function __construct() {}// so it can be used anytime: it also allows you to create a new object $this->World = "Hello world!"; Public function setWorld($val) { If($val != NULL) $this->World = $val; Else{die(Earth must contain a string);} } } $newPlanet = new Planet(); $newPlanet->setWorld($_GET[Planet]); echo $newPlanet->World;
So, on 4th line , it has declared $this->World = "Hello world!"; outside the scope of the function. So when i saved the same code on my localhost then it is giving me an error which is it must be declared inside the function. Till now, i also have an idea that we can declare $this inside the function and it states the current object. So i just want to know that can we declare $this outside of the function, if yes then how shall we do it?
Any help would be appreciated much & thanks you in advance..

Egg Thokku - Muttai Thokku
Thokku is a thick and sour curry (it probably derives from the word thokkai which means thick). Thokku is either made from sour vegetables/fruits or tamarind paste (or tomatoes) are added to make it sour. The vegetables are cooked along with spices and without adding any water. You stir-fry the vegetables until the water (from the vegetables) has evaporated. The thokku is lastly layered with a few teaspoons of oil before being sealed. The low water content and the acidity prevents it from being spoilt. And you should always use dry spoon and dry hands when serving or opening thokku. This is an effective way to prepare vegetables and make them last a little longer.
However, since this thokku is made with eggs, it's not the kind of the thokku you store for weeks or longer but if made without the eggs, it could be kept in the fridge for longer. If you intend to finish this on the same, it's alright if you don't stir-fry the onions and the tomato until all the water has evaporated. I prefer the onions to taste more than the sour tomatoes and only add one tomato. For more sourness, you could add one more tomato.

Atalanta have soared into sixth place despite a points penalty and earned a reputation as giant-killers, but Stefano Colantuono keeps his eye on safety.
The Orobici had already beaten Milan and Napoli this season before a 3-2 result ended Inter's 10-match winning streak.
"Our objective is to secure safety as soon as possible and until we get there we're going to keep fighting like this, always playing our game," said the Coach.
"When we have reached 40 points, then will we start to consider new options.
"We are accustomed to this approach and cannot do it any other way. Again tonight we saw a great performance against a very tough opponent.
"When you play against the big clubs, it's no good just sitting back and defending, as sooner or later you are going to concede. If you attack, then you can find that positive situation and it happened three times tonight."
German Denis had been struggling to find the net recently, but bagged a brace at the Stadio Azzurri d'Italia after Giacomo Bonaventura's opener.
"In the tunnel before kick-off I told Denis not to worry, because sooner or later his goal would come. Bonaventura has talent and is really improving as the season goes on. We are working on his attacking approach, so it's good to see him score."
There was one sour note, as Facundo Parra was sent off for a midfield shove on Fredy Guarin in stoppages.
"I think Parra pushed his opponent to get through. A yellow card was understandable, but I consider a straight red for that to be excessive."

NEW YORK, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Carl Hagelin scored his fifth goal in four games and Derek Stepan notched the game-winner Sunday in the New York Rangers' 2-1 decision over Washington.
After spotting the Capitals a quick 1-0 lead in the first period, the Rangers pulled even in the middle frame as Hagelin scored the equalizer on assists from Rick Nash and Ryan McDonagh.
Washington's Karl Alzner was whistled for tripping Brad Richards at 4:18 of the third period, putting the Rangers on a power play. Stepan converted a precise pass from Michael Del Zotto for the go-ahead tally.
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 27-of-28 shots for the Rangers, rebounded from Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders.
John Carlson scored and Braden Holtby turned aside 38-of-40 shots for Capitals, whose three-game winning streak was broken.
