Hello! Larisa here sharing a fun little Christmas card featuring the NEW Santa and Friends Clear Stamp set! This adorable set includes so many fun images and sentiments. It's the perfect set for creating fun and festive holiday cards! For my card, I chose some fun patterned paper and mounted a rectangle of green gingham for my background. Then I used the NEW Quad Collage Cutter to cut a red frame. In each square I created a little snowy background using the Winter Border Set. Then I stamped out and colored my images using Copic Markers. I die cut them with the coordinating die and popped them into each square using foam tape. To finish it off, I added a scallop to the bottom and a die cut sentiment that came with the paper.
here's a look at the inside:
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!!!

By the way, for all you bums tumbling without credit, this photo is by George H. Barker for The Tennessean (which has a lot of great Elvis photos), during the June 10, 1958 RCA studio session in Nashville. Perhaps he's taking a break with Chet Atkins, Hank Garland, and the Jordanaires after recording I Need Your Love Tonight or A Big Hunk o' Love? A little credit/context goes a long way.
And now back to our regularly scheduled non-cranky programming.

What Kind of Doctor Treats Varicose Veins? Vascular Surgeon Answers
Aug 21, 2019
What Kind of Doctor Treats Varicose Veins?
Do you have large veins that bulge out of the surface of the skin? Do these veins appear to be twisted in a rope-like formation or like tree trunks? If so, you have varicose veins and you need to seek treatment options that destroys the vein. However, before you consider varicose vein treatment, it's important to think about the type of doctors you get for your vein treatment.
Varicose veins may seem like a superficial disease with no greater consequences, but that's incorrect. There are cases of varicose veins that can also get extremely dangerous if left untreated. This is because varicose veins are caused by underlying venous insufficiency, a disease in which the valves in the veins malfunction, which causes blood to accumulate in your leg veins. Over time, varicose veins can also become extremely sensitive to profuse bleeding, leg ulcers, skin diseases, skin discoloration, and deep vein thrombosis.
Long ago, only vascular surgeons could treat varicose veins because surgery was the only available option for vein disease. However, thanks to modern medicine and technologies, there are a lot of different minimally invasive methods to treat vein disease. This means there are a lot of different type of doctors who can treat varicose veins as well.
In this article, we discuss what kind of doctor treats varicose veins and the various type of treatment for varicose veins.
Type of Doctors who Treat Varicose Veins
A vein doctor that treats varicose veins is officially called a phlebologist. Long ago, all vein doctors were vascular surgeons because surgery was the only way to treat vein disease. However, since vein disease can now be treated with minimally invasive procedures, vein doctors may come from different fields of medicine.
Some of the type of doctors who treat varicose veins include cardiologists, emergency medicine doctors, anesthesiologists, hospitalists, and many more. Basically, anyone who has specialized training for vein treatment is a vein doctor.
When you're looking for a vein doctor to treat varicose veins, you should be less focused on the type of doctors and more on their qualifications. A good vein doctor should have the following qualifications.
- Board Certification: Vein doctors should be properly board certified in their respective fields so you know for sure that they've passed rigorous tests and have the necessary experience to accurately diagnose and treat vein disease.
- Strong Education Background: Same as board certification, a strong education background ensures that the vein doctor is skilled and experienced. You should ideally go for vein doctors who have graduated from Ivy League universities, Harvard Medical School, etc.
- Attitude: A large part of diagnosing vein disease consists of the vein doctor discussing your medical and ancestral history so they can determine which treatment would be most suitable for you. As such, it's important for the vein doctor to be compassionate and patient so they can make an accurate and informed diagnosis.
- Track Record: Latest minimally invasive varicose vein treatments have an incredibly high success rate exceeding 97%. As such, you should find vein doctors with a perfect track record. You can also determine this by going through all of their online reviews and testimonials.
- Minimally Invasive Type of Treatment: Finally, it's important that the vein doctor should prioritize the latest minimally invasive vein treatments because they're non-surgical and highly effective with a negligible risk of side effects.
Type of Treatment for Varicose Veins
The following are the type of treatment for varicose veins you should look out for. Your varicose vein doctor should only focus on these treatments, depending on your specific condition.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is a type of treatment in which the vein doctor destroys the vein that's causing all the problems, i.e., the saphenous vein, using heat energy channeled through a catheter. The vein doctor inserts a catheter through an incision on your skin and passes thermal energy to destroy the vein and reroute the accumulated blood to healthier veins.
Endovenous Laser Ablation
Endovenous laser ablation is a type of treatment in which the vein doctor destroys the vein using laser energy. This procedure is similar to radiofrequency ablation and it's just as effective at treating vein disease. The vein doctor inserts a catheter and a laser fiber into the diseased vein via an incision and the laser energy collapses the vein. This type of treatment, however, causes some post-procedural discomfort.
VenaSeal is the simplest and most advanced varicose vein treatment. The vein doctor simply injects a vein glue into the diseased saphenous vein. This vein glue or medical adhesive fuses the vein walls and the accumulated blood reroutes to healthier veins.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a type of treatment that only removes the superficial varicose veins but doesn't treat the underlying vein disease. During the procedure, the vein doctor will create several incisions on the surface of your skin and then physically extract the superficial varicose veins. This will remove all of the appearance of varicose veins after the primary treatment treats the vein disease.
Sclerotherapy is a type of treatment meant for spider veins. The vein doctor will inject a medicine into your spider veins. This medicine reacts with the vein walls to fuse them shut and turn them into scar tissues. Over time, the scar tissues will get absorbed by the body and the appearance of spider veins will diminish.

Hardcover: 352 pages
Publisher: Harper (September 8, 2009)
Language: English
Rating: 4/5
Source: BN.com First Look Book Club
An immigrant Ukrainian family suffers unrelenting hardship on the tundra of late 1930s western Canada in this grim frontier tale. Thrown in prison for two years for helping himself to some of his own grain after defaulting on a homesteading contract, Ukrainian immigrant Theo Mykolayenko must deal with his nearly destitute wife and children. His oldest son helps to plow and plant fields owned by Theo's sister, Anna, who is married to Stefan, a wayward and violent military man. Theo's long-suffering wife, Maria, is tireless in caring for her family, nurturing the garden that feeds them and mending every stitch of clothing they wear. Meanwhile, unhappy Anna, pregnant with a child she does not want, is beguiled by the howling coyotes that surround the homestead at night. The extended family survives fire, dust storms, cold and hunger, only to face a nastier enemy much closer to home. This ambitious novel, full of the minutiae of the savage existence of a frontier family, comprises a harsh picture of lives lived in an unforgiving landscape, though some readers may find themselves wishing for an occasional break from the grinding woe.
And the constant hardships they faced took my breath away! I always find myself rooting for the good guys to have a happy ending, but life doesn't work out that way and neither does this story. The ending took me by surprise, but made total sense. I'd recommend this book for anyone who enjoys fiction and appreciates talented, beautiful writing.

Quick Update

Beautifully modeled and painted, my only critique is that to my eye they should be a little paler, your off-white seems a little dark. But again, this is a minor quibble, and this isn't the finished model, so hard to say.ReplyDelete
All I see is that FW venerable dread in the corner, and I can't wait to see you paint that Yao :)ReplyDelete
thanks for the comments guys, the off white is actually bleached bone, and it's highlighted with skull white at the edges so unless i mix the colours i can't make it any paler. the lighting for the pictures isn't great, and i'll take more of the full squad in better light.ReplyDelete
that dread is going to be a pain in the ass lol. can't wait.
You know what, it occured to me that it might be the lighting in the photo after I posted that. Disregard!ReplyDelete

|RE: Missing connection parameter
|Fri, 06 Jul 2007 06:48:09 GMT
Hi Tobias, I had similar problems a year or two ago. The solution was to use the torque.silentDbFetch generator parameter. The idea is that all db fetches of foreign relations must be done explicitly with the get(connection) methods; the get() methods only return the cached results This gives you full control over what you fetch from db with which connection. The downside of full control ist that you have to exercise it, i.e if you want to make a deep copy, you have to fetch the related objects beforehand by calling the corresponding get(connection) methods. Nevertheless In my opinion a copy(connection) method would be useful. A patch would be welcome.

How often does it note happen that a certain watch is not in the collection anymore, discontinued,
or may be it was a limited edition. But then it pops up at an auction or second hand dealer, but at closer inspection, the watch is not in the desired state.
So also this diamond set Tank Americaine. This large two row version with mechanical movement is from the eighties and is hard to find second hand. So when finally this one appeared at a dealer, the decision was not difficult to make. The watch however, must have been mistreated in it's previous life since the dial was discoloured to yellowish, due to constant bright sunlight, the glass was scratched nearly everywhere, which caused ugly reflections on the dial and the watch had been polished by an amateur. The deep scratches could not be missed on the sides of the case and the crown had lost it's sharp appearance, due to heavy polishing.
The difference is clear when comparing the pictures of the crown, before and after the service.
After keeping he Tank Americaine for more than a year in it's box, it was finally brought to the Boutique, for a full service of the movement. Cartier advised to replace the glass, crown and dial. The crown was a pity to replace, but what has polished away, can not be brought back of course. The pictures of the crown, before and after the service, show the difference clearly. The rhodium was taken of the case and the watch was polished carefully. When that was finished, the case was rhodium plated again.
The last four pictures show the result of he service and it's hard to see the difference between this roughly 30 year old watch and a new one from the collection.
This Tank Americaine is an older watch, but not a vintage piece and therefor, everything could be done by the local Cartier Service Centre. A watch from the twenties of thirties will be a bit more complex, since not every part is on stock anymore. The good news for collectors is that Cartier is always able to repair and restore any Cartier watch.
Cartier timepieces are made to last forever and can be repaired at any time!
As is demonstrated by the earliest Cartier creations, which are already more than 100 years old. Anticipating the challenges of tomorrow, ensuring the durability of its watches and perpetuating its expertise: these are the avowed objectives of the Cartier Manufacture. To support this utmost commitment, the 'Tradition Workshop' calls on time-honoured watchmaking skills and tools to guarantee the repair of any Cartier timepiece,
whatever its age or condition! This is something, not any brand can say and it means that Cartier not only gives the highest priority to further developments in watchmaking, but also that they still fully support their creations from early 1900!
Cartier has created quite complicated watch cases and therefore also difficult shapes of glass. Prime example is for instance the Crash watch, the Tonneau or the Tank Asymetrique. These models have curved or crooked shaped mineral glass. Cartier manufactures its own mineral crystal, to ensure creativity remains entirely unfettered. These crystals are designed with masterful expertise, in a variety of complex shapes to fit these extra ordinary watch cases. The outline of the mineral crystal , is polished by hand, to create smoothly rounded edges and to ensure, that it fits perfectly into the vintage case.
The same can be set about hands. Cartier produces all the hands for their collection of watches and clocks in house. and each hand no matter from which period it dates, can be re produced, to fit that vintage clock or watch.
Buying that Cartier vintage Tank from the twenties, or may be that early CPCP watch at an auction,
is nothing to worry about.

So I sat down and jotted out a few New Years Resolutions. And I let them simmer for a couple days to see if they were worthy or plausible. They seem it...for the most part... so here goes.
I have 16. :) Yeah I know I'm setting myself up for failure big time!
1) Photo a day - over on my 'home-life' blog I decided (since I can't regularly be crafty or cook anything anywhere close to food porn-able) to devote this year to remembering each day with a snapshot and keep the posts uber short. So far so good. If you want to peek in... here's the link: The Shabby Rabbit
2) Fly - nope not in a plane or glider... I'm talking about being a follower of FlyLady. It's a method to help me keep my house cleaner, tidier, more organized and so I'm not, as Fly Lady says, "In CHAOS" (Cant Have Anyone Over Syndrome)
I used to be pretty good at juggling cleaning schedules and organization, then I got pretty busy and well...since FlyLady has EVERY base covered and all I have to do is follow directions, hey! That's way easier! If you're interested here's the link FlyLady. Let me know if you go there!
3) Read more - self-explanatory. Quit creepin' on facebook. Don't put that movie in (I got rid of TV last year). Go Read!! Get the book off the nightstand from time to time! You can read before 9:00 p.m. too!
4) Trade houses with my Mom. My house is teeny tiny with pretty little utility bills, her house is bigger and much more to take care of. I'm 45 and she's ...older than 45 and my little one level ranch with off street parking and a garage makes more sense for her than for me.
This is Mom's house - The tree is off of it now ;)
This is my little house. Gee I miss green grass!
5) Blog - Now I know this sorta goes against the Read resolution, but I have to write about what I read about!! and I have to see what you all are reading too! Just not over do it. There is plenty of time for both. Tons of instances where reading would not be feasible, but perusing the blogs or slapping in a quick post or meme would be fine. Usually when the girls and I are all together in the living room. We're girls, we can multitask and still interact with one another!
6) Work on that blasted Novel...said it before...someday I would like to say..work on REVISING that novel. Can't do one without the other. I received quite a few compliments this past semester on my writing so it really should follow that while that side of my brain is engaged I should do this...now balancing this resolution with the Reading resolution is a little trickier!
7) Work on Nutrition - I'm not saying lose weight (but that too) just for once don't go through the produce section just to see the pretty colors woman! Stop and buy something! Lettuce is for more than Tacos!
8) Cut Expenses - Tough one. But Necessary for my next Resolution. And there is room. I can cut a lot of expenses with just two letters... the letter N and the letter O. I love my girls, but I have to curb my desire to spoil them :)
9) Get out of debt - I don't have that much debt, just that much more than I want. I've lived hand to mouth and I always fear having to again so I'd rather not have to worry about who I owe thanks!
10) eBay - I have a bit of stuff floating around I could liquidate on that site. Even some books... I'll let you know if I do.
11) Faith - Last year at this time I felt much closer to God and like I leaned on Him and my spirituality much more... I really really miss that feeling. It felt so safe. So I want to cultivate that again.
12) Quit Swearing - 2 reasons, 1 see above. Such negative words close the doors to the postitive of the spirit. and 2. I feel I have a much better vocabulary than those mundane words and should be perfectly capable of expressing myself with them.
13) Work - There are some goals we set at my review that I need to push myself to accomplish yet this year. There are some projects I would like to start as well.
14) Style - Ok another one that seems weird. But as I've gotten ---gosh this is still hard to say --- older, I am having a harder time figuring out how I should look. From hair to makeup to clothes. So cultivating an attractive (after all I am single) professional appearance is on my radar this year.
15) School - This is an easy one (sorta) Finish my Associates in May and start at the University of Iowa in the Bachelor of Liberal Science Program ( available by distance if necessary and since I'm 50 miles from the campus, it will be). With all A's :) Ok that last part may just be self-torture!! But good grades.
Huh - I lied. there's only 15. And if you're still with me... Thank you! And feel free to pop in and see how I'm doing. Keep me on my toes...ask me about the weird ones ;)
I truly hope your 2011 goes well and brings you your hearts desires!

HOUGHTON — The case against a Hancock woman accused of stabbing a man last month is headed to Circuit Court.
Sarah Youmans, 41, appeared in 97th District Court for a preliminary exam. She is charged with Felonious Assault with a Dangerous Weapon. Police say she stabbed a 57–year–old man at a residence in Hancock in late August.
Testimony was heard from the victim as well as from a witness and an officer from the Hancock Police Department. After hearing the testimony the judge ruled there was enough evidence for the case to be bound over to the Circuit Court.
Youmans is currently being lodged in the Houghton County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond. She faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

Great tips from Berkeley Wellness: (you will have to search for the article oral health – below is a brief synopsis.
Of all the things we know we should do, one of the more under rated and overlooked about is Oral Health our "Window to Overall Health".
– Peridontal (gum) disease is a harbinger and/or may play a role in other health issues (heart disease, diabetes, etc). The bacteria in our mouth can also rise with medications (decongestants, antihistamines, painkillers, diuretics and antidepressants) that reduce saliva flow. Saliva is important in protecting from bacteria buildup.
For more information on Oral Health – click here:
Protect your Oral Health:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss daily
- Replace your toothbrush at least every 3 months (yuck… bacteria builds on that toothbrush)
- See your dentist

By Tom Barry
The first campaign in 30 years to promote Edinburgh's New Town has been announced by the city's heritage watchdogs. The move comes after experts admitted that the area of the city is failing to make the most of its well-planned streetscapes, neo-classical architecture and its role in shaping the Scottish Enlightenment.
While Edinburgh is no stranger to the tourism trade, experts believe that most tourists find it difficult to make it past the Old Town and Royal Mile areas of the city. The belief is based on a study carried out by digital cartographer Eric Fischer who constructed maps showing where visitors and locals had taken pictures around the city which were subsequently uploaded to the photo-sharing website Flickr.
His digital map of Edinburgh showed that most tourists rarely venture further into the New Town than Princes Street.
The aim of the campaign, overseen by the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust, is to explain how Edinburgh became known as the 'Athens of the North,' highlighting classical architecture and everyday life in the New Town.
The area of the city is home to the work of some Britain's greatest architects including James Craig, William Playfair, Thomas Hamilton and Robert Adam while it was also home to some of Scotland's finest writers such as Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson.
A series of heritage trail is to be created from Calton Hill to the Dean Village, Charlotte Square and Stockbridge and will include neo-Greek buildings such as the Dugald Stewart monument, the Burns Monument and the Royal Scottish Academy which will be supplemented by a programme of talks, events and guided walks.
Director of the heritage trust, Adam Wilkinson said: "The New Town is the largest and best preserved example of Georgian town planning in the world. It contains over 1,000 listed buildings in the New Town, with over 500 at category A.
"This is historic streetscape of the highest quality, and it is possible to walk for a mile through the New Town and see only category A buildings on your journey. That experience cannot be matched in any other UK city.
"Our intention is to reveal the hidden meaning behind the design of buildings such as the Burns Monument. The campaign will also look at everyday life in the New Town at the time of Sir Walter Scott, the social life, fashions and life below stairs. The New Town offers a unique experience for visitors and our aim is to bring its history to life for everyone."

Local small business deserves our support
By Shaye Anderson, MLA for Leduc-Beaumont. First published in the Leduc Representative Fr. Oct. 22 2016
The third week in October marks Small Business week in Canada.
Without small businesses many charities, sports teams and arts groups wouldn't have the funding they need.
Small businesses make up over 95 per cent of all business in Alberta. In 2014 they accounted for 32 per cent of the GDP in the province and 36 % of all private sector employment, almost 535,000 people I am happy to support the government's initiatives to lower the small business tax from three per cent to two per cent on January 1, 2017 to help with the adjustment to the carbon levy. I was also pleased to see the Alberta Jobs plan including access to capital for start-ups, the Capital Investment Tax Credit and $30 million to attract and support regional economic development initiatives in Alberta.
None of these initiatives would matter if it weren't for the hard working business owners across the province, and right here in Leduc-Beaumont. Recently I toured the John Deere Reman facility, and learned that a small business can grow in to a major employer with the right support and very hard work. I had the opportunity to eat breakfast at Nisku Eatery on 8th, where you'll find workers from Nisku and surrounding area, coming to warm up with a good strong cup of coffee.
I was reminded this week how small business owners are tied to the community. Without small businesses many charities, sports teams and arts groups wouldn't have the funding they need. In Beaumont, the owner of Jef's Café also sits on Town Council. Embroid-Me in Beaumont sponsors local events all throughout the constituency while providing high quality promotional products. Local Meats in Leduc just recently partnered with LA Nissan to host a free thanksgiving dinner for families hit hard by the economic downturn. Go-led Leduc, LED light specialists just recently helped the Leduc # 1 Energy Discovery Centre reduce its electricity cost and usage in a major lighting overhaul.
Entrepreneurial spirit is in every corner of the constituency and small business owners are not on their own. The Leduc Chamber of Commerce and the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce connect their members to training, networking opportunities and many kinds of support. The Leduc Nisku Economic Development Association provides opportunities for all businesses, enhancing the overall economic health in the region. The Town of Beaumont, Leduc County and City of Leduc offer small businesses in the constituency information, licensing and direction from the beginning of the start-up process.
Small businesses can also reach out to one of the 260 service providers available to help through Business Link, a partnership between the Government of Alberta and the federal government through Western Economic diversification.
This week and every week, please go out and shop local to show your support for small businesses in our community.

Climate change is not local; it is global. This means that many environmental issues related to climate change are not geographically limited and hence concern humans in more than one location. There is a growing body of research indicating that today's increased climate change is caused by human activities and our modern lifestyle. Consequently, climate change awareness and attention from the entire world's population needs to be a global priority and we need to work collaboratively to attain a sustainable future. A powerful tool in this process is to develop an understanding of climate change through education. Recognizing this, climate change has been included in many science curricula as a part of science education in schools. However, teaching such a complex and global topic as climate change is not easy. The research in this paper has been driven by this challenge. In this paper, we will present our online science module called Global Climate Exchange, designed with inquiry activities for international peer collaboration to teach climate change. In this study, we engaged 157 students from four countries (Canada, China, Sweden, and Norway) to collaborate in Global Climate Exchange. To explore the opportunities that international peer collaboration in Global Climate Exchange gives, we have analyzed how students develop their explanations about climate change issues over time. Our analysis showed that the students increased the proportion of relevant scientific concepts in relation to the total number of words in their explanations and that they improved the quality of links between concepts over a six-week period. The analysis also revealed that the students explained more perspectives relating to climate change issues over time. The outcomes indicate that international peer collaboration, if successfully supported, can be an effective approach to climate change education

There is a lot in the press at the moment about sustainable transport , e-cars, hybrid cars, hydrogen trains, LNG powered super-tankers, but what about e-bikes. These are gradually gaining profile.
Traditionally used for leisure in hilly areas and for people want the benefit of the outside but struggle with the undulating train, now these are perfect for the city or suburban dweller. An estimated 1.8 million Britons commute more than 3 hours to work in over crowded trains, cramped and stressed conditions. There are plenty of cyclists who commute in the cities, but have the chore of wearing cycling clothing and often in need of a shower on arrival. As e-bikes can eliminate the strenuous bits, then the need for specialist clothing and a shower can be alleviated. Charging times are getting faster , and bikes can charging simply at work without the need for space consuming bays that cars require. For some this could be the perfect commute vehicle, and also recreational vehicle at the weekends.

Yoenis Cespedes is back in the Mets' clubhouse, and he's already making headlines.
Cespedes has returned after missing the entirety of the 2019 season due to an unusual injury. The outfielder suffered a fractured ankle on his ranch in Port St. Lucie, Florida after an encounter with a wild boar.
The 34-year-old reported early for spring training this year, but he's apparently not cooperating with the media. On Monday, Cespedes told reporters that he wouldn't be speaking to the press this season.
"Not today, not tomorrow, not at all this year," said Cespedes.
The mercurial player was asked why he wouldn't speak with the media, to which he answered: "because I don't want to."
2020 will be the final year of Cespedes' contract with the Mets, which has now been re-worked. The team apparently threatened to void the Cuban's contract if he didn't renegotiate it, following his prolonged absences from the field.
Under the terms of his new deal, Cespedes will now be making $6 million this season. The Mets alleged that he was hurt during an activity prohibited by his contract's guarantee language. Before the renegotiation, he had been set to make $29.5 million in 2020.
When he's healthy, Cespedes is another big bat to have in a lineup. The Mets already have quite a few fearsome hitters, but Cespedes would certainly make them even better, if he can get back to something like his best.
Cespedes' best season in New York came in 2016. That year, he was an All-Star and hit .280 with 31 home runs and 86 RBIs. In the two months he played in 2018, Cespedes hit .262 with nine home runs and 29 RBIs.
It seems unlikely that Cespedes will be able to go the whole season without speaking to the media. Sooner or later, he will have to talk to reporters, or he is likely to face a fine from the Mets.

Social Action and Outreach Fund Overview
Emerson offers many opportunities for you to get involved. Participation is open to everyone. New ideas are always welcome.
Our Social Action activities fall into three major areas:
Advocating for Justice
We address institutionalized and systemic discrimination through education, advocacy and witness. We often join with other UU congregations on initiatives such as Black Lives Matter and Standing on the Side of Love. We participate in demonstrations and visit our state legislators in Austin.
Racial Justice: We ask how Unitarian Universalists are to respond to the call for anti-racist work to dismantle white privilege.
Reproductive Justice: In 2018 we became a Reproductive Justice Congregation. This designation from Just Texas states that we are committed to provide a welcoming space for all who have faced or made reproductive health decisions, provide educational opportunities for the community surrounding reproductive justice issues, and partner with local organizations for public witness and advocacy opportunities.
Economic Justice: We provide educational and advocacy opportunities surrounding economic inequality in the community.
Texas UU Justice Ministry (TXUUJM)
TXUUJM provides a vehicle for our congregations to express and advocate for statewide public policies that uphold Unitarian Universalist values. During recent legislative sessions, TXUUJM focused on Reproductive Justice, Economic Inequality/Justice, LGBT Equality, Immigration/Refugee Rights, and Medicaid Expansion.
Harris County Drug Court Foundation
This Foundation supports the Harris County Drug Court, Success Through Addiction Recovery (STAR) Program. STAR is an alternative to incarceration for long term drug addicts who have been arrested for a drug or drug related offense.
Houston Pride Festival and Parade
The Houston-area UU churches form one of the longest supporters of the parade and walk together to support the LGBTQ community.
Ministry for Earth
We promote environmental stewardship on individual, congregational, national and global levels, led by Emerson's Ministry for Earth group.
Environmental Justice: We are working to develop advocacy and public witness opportunities for the Emerson community. One example is partnering with the Citizens' Climate Lobby which works primarily with our congressional representatives to adopt the Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal.
Helping People
We address the "here and now" needs of our local community such as education, housing, food, and human trafficking.
English Classes (ELL for Adults)
Since 2015, Emerson has hosted free English classes for anyone who wants to learn, taught by volunteers from Emerson and neighboring congregations. We have served hundreds of students from dozens of countries over the years.
Groppe Scholarship Program
This program provides funding for college educations at two-year institutions for academically talented high school seniors who are the first in their families to attend college. The program provides full tuition, fees and books. The scholarship is guaranteed for the completion of an associate degree in the arts or sciences provided the student maintains an acceptable level of academic achievement as determined by the college.
Rebuilding Together Houston
Rebuilding Together Houston provides volunteers of all ages an opportunity to learn a new skill while helping an elderly or disabled Houstonian repair their home.
Meals on Wheels (Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston)
Interfaith Ministries' Meals on Wheels for Greater Houston program delivers a meal to home-bound seniors over 60 and their spouses. The program also delivers breakfast and weekend meals to the most frail and isolated seniors. This nutritional support helps seniors stay independent and in their own homes.
Houston Food Bank and Souper Bowl of Caring
We collect food and money for the Houston Food Bank, through the Souper Bowl of Caring, on the day of the Superbowl game. We also offer opportunities to help out at the Food Bank, by sorting and loading non-perishable groceries or staffing the phone bank.
Disaster Relief Fund
The UUA established a Disaster Relief Fund to assist congregations in repairing any damage, and to respond to the needs of their members' and their community's efforts to get back on its feet. Your donations will allow the UUA to respond flexibly as new situations arise.

Clitoraid to launch clitoris therapy for FGM victims on February 6
Feb 06, 2017, 08:00 ET
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Feb. 6, the United Nations' Zero Tolerance Day for victims of female genital mutilation (FGM), the humanitarian organization Clitoraid will send its recovering patients a "Womanizer" vibrator donated by its inventor, Mickael Lenke.
"Using that vibrator will be part of our patients' post-operative therapy following clitoral restorative surgery," explained Clitoraid Spokesperson Nadine Gary - See Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfxNMN3il-k
She said Clitoraid's volunteer surgeons, Dr. Marci Bowers and Dr. Harold Henning, have successfully operated on over 250 FGM victims since 2009.
"The surgery and postoperative therapy restored their dignity as women," Gary said, adding that her organization's revolutionary charity stems from the humanitarian vision of international spiritual leader Maitreya Rael. "His pacific, atheist philosophy advocates women's rights, including the inherent right to sexual pleasure," Gary explained.
FGM, also called genital cutting, affects 130 million women in the world today according to the WHO. "This gruesome practice consists of mutilating the genitals of little girls, particularly the clitoris," Gary said. "It's usually performed without anesthesia, and it's done to deny sexual pleasure. The intent is to turn women into chaste, subdued and faithful wives."
But husbands don't like having an FGM wife, Gary pointed out. "Thousands of victims reach out to Clitoraid, begging us to make them whole again and save their marriages," she said. During the past two decades, science has significantly updated anatomical knowledge of women's genitalia.
"For the first time in history, the clitoris has been properly mapped, revealing an organ far more voluminous than previously thought," Gary explained. "Its visible glans is only the tip of a massive amount of pleasurable tissue. That makes genital mutilation a reversible condition, and French urologist Dr. Pierre Foldes launched a revolutionary surgical technique for FGM survivors." Clitoral restorative surgery requires post-op therapy, Gary said.
"The touchless technology of the Womanizer vibrator will help our patients recover pleasurable sensations without irritating the clitoral tissue the way other vibrators tend to do after surgery," she said. "And Michael Linke says he will modify the technology of his vibrator and adapt it to our patients' needs after getting their feedback."
Clitoraid is planning a humanitarian surgical mission to Kenya in May.
"Over 50 FGM patients are awaiting surgery there," Gary said. "We hope to introduce Mr. Lenke's post-op therapeutic device to those patients."

DOHA, Qatar - Retief Goosen eagled the final hole Sunday to win the Qatar Masters, beating Nick O'Hern by a stroke for his first title in more than a year.
The South African birdied the 17th and closed with a 3-under-par 69 and finished at 15-under 273.
"It feels good to be the champion after such a long while," said Goosen, who has won 32 tournaments. "This win sets me up nicely for the rest of the season."
Goosen had been tied with O'Hern (70) and Richard Green (72) entering the final day.
"The birdie on 17 set me up nicely for the 18th," Goosen said. "I told my caddie that an eagle can do it for me. And I did it."
Ernie Els, the 2005 Qatar Masters winner, shot a 67 and finished two strokes behind Goosen. He was hurt by bogeys on the second and sixth holes.
Stuart Appleby (66), Graeme McDowell (67) and Green were at 276. Sergio Garcia, playing in Doha for the first time, shot a 67 for 281.
O'Hern was leading by two shots before Goosen's birdie-eagle finish.
"I didn't hit the ball well today," O'Hern said. "But I kept hitting because that's what you've got to do when you are not playing well."
