When a Unitarian Universalist (UU) group began to form in 2009 in suburban Cincinnati it wasn't long before its members decided it needed a name. They thought about naming the new congregation for the town where they met, but then they opted for something different. "We noticed all these contemporary nondenominational Christian churches, which all had names like Wellspring and Crossroads," says Lindsey Sodano, one of the organizers of the new group.
"Interestingly," she says, "these congregations are our main competition when many liberal people look for a church. They go there mistakenly thinking the modern music and laid-back minister will translate to beliefs and values similar to theirs. After attending and listening to the anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) messages these visitors end up with us."
Sodano's group picked the name Harmony, a Unitarian Universalist Church. "We wanted to get on the radar of church shoppers, so we went with a modern one-word name," she says. Other names considered were "Discovery" and "Beacon."
Sodano says the word "church" as part of the name both helps and hurts. "It helped give us legitimacy when we were having to rent space from others. It has probably hurt us with our more atheist/humanist-leaning visitors. I'm sure there are people who drive by and think that we're not for them because we're a 'church.' We thought about adding a line to our sign, 'Atheists welcome, and we really mean it.'"
"A name means a lot," she adds. "Your church could be a vibrant, friendly, contemporary liberal community, but if it is named something people don't connect with they won't come."
According to numbers submitted through February 2011, there are 1,046 congregations within the Unitarian Universalist Association, including the Church of the Larger Fellowship. An analysis shows that the vast majority are named for geographic locations. Most are cities and towns, but there are also congregations named for counties, valleys, mountain peaks, and ocean bays. A few are named for broader regions––Piedmont, prairie, mountain ranges, foothills, seashores, deserts, and forests.
Of those with names not tied to geography, at least two appear to be named for flowers: Columbine UU Church in Colorado and Wildflower Church in Texas. Around 30 are named for people––Starr King, Emerson, Thoreau, May, Throop, Goodloe, Jefferson, Channing, Davies, Murray, Follen, Parker, Servetus, Eliot, Dix, Pullman, Atkinson, Paine, Priestley, Cooper, Reeb, and Brown.
Twenty-two congregations use All Souls as part of their name. The oldest congregation with that name is the Unitarian Church of All Souls in New York City, founded in 1819. With more than 1,000 members, it is one of the UUA's largest congregations. In the past decade three congregations have taken the All Souls appellation.
A small number of congregations have taken names that evoke more than geography. Some express inclusiveness. There is "Tapestry, a UU Congregation," in California, and "Mosaic UU Congregation," in Florida. There are several that use "Open Circle" or "Circle" as part of their name. Several use "People's Church" and there are a couple that use "Free Church." Other congregations have adopted religious imagery. There is a "Chalice UU Congregation" in California, plus at least one that includes "Spirit of Life" in its name. There is also an "Epiphany Community Church" (a Christian UU congregation).
Of the total 1,046, 752 congregations use both Unitarian and Universalist as part of their name, 161 just use Unitarian, 58 only use Universalist, and 75 use neither. As for church, 473 use that identifier, compared to 271 fellowships, 142 congregations, and 102 societies.
The newest UU congregations have tended to stick with geography when choosing names. Of the 64 new congregations welcomed into the UUA between 2000 and February 2011, 47 chose names that tie them to a specific city or region. The benefit in that is that including a city's name instantly tells a seeker where the congregation is located. Another ten or so chose spiritual, inspirational, or aspirational names, such as Harmony UU Church, New Hope Congregation, WellSprings Congregation, UU Peace Fellowship, Open Circle UU Fellowship, Pathways Church, Gaia Community.
Choosing a name can be challenging for a congregation. Take the experience of folks at one congregation formed several years ago. One of its leaders, who asked to be anonymous, said, "Choosing a name looked so simple, but it was a long and winding path that took the services of a consultant and a lot of patience."
He said congregants were divided over church vs. congregation and whether to use a city name or a broader geographic name. "The church vs. congregation sides didn't care what other name parts were added. Their interest was totally in the liturgical," he said. "The other camp didn't care whether church or congregation was used so long as the geographic issue was covered."
The discussion went on for 17 months. A facilitator who was called in "surrendered" after one meeting. The governing board then called a meeting where, after extensive discussion, a two-thirds majority voted for Unitarian Universalist Congregation of _________. In the aftermath one person left the congregation, feeling the issue had not been discussed sufficiently. The leader said he is grateful for the resolution. "I'm not looking forward to any future discussions of name should we feel a need."
When the Rev. Ken Beldon and several lay leaders began forming a congregation in 2005 in suburban Philadelphia, they decided they wanted a name not limited by geography. They chose WellSprings Congregation.
"We had a desire to have a name that spoke to the power of symbols and images," he said. Local geography did play a role in the naming, however. WellSprings evokes both a nearby town, Chester Springs, and a well-known state park, Marsh Creek.
"We landed on a water image because of the abundant water where we are and because WellSprings speaks to images of abundance and flow," said Beldon. We also wanted a word that had a verb-like quality, that spoke of action, movement."
He said the naming group made a conscious decision to create a name that people would remember––and that was fairly short. For that reason "Unitarian Universalism" is not part of the short name that members and staff use in answering the phone and in referring to the 185-member congregation in general conversation. But the two Us are not far away.
"On our website we identify ourselves further as 'a Unitarian Universalist community of faith.' We identify as UU in the words we speak each Sunday in lighting our chalice. And our web address is wellspringsuu.org.
And congregation vs. church? "We went with congregation because it was more inclusive," he said.
There's also a visual element to "WellSprings." It functions as a logo. The middle S descends and forms an outline for a pool of water. So the name becomes a symbol as well as a name.
"We wanted a name that speaks to the variety of ways that people take in information––verbal, but also visual. We know that human beings connect to what's most important in a variety of ways, and not simply with the rational, linear part of the mind. Simply naming ourselves for a location could not achieve that resonance."

Another big name pop star, Taylor Swift, is heading to the high seas for a performance on a cruise ship.
Royal Caribbean this week announced the Grammy Award-winning singer will perform on the Jan. 16 sailing of its soon-to-debut, 5,400-passenger Allure of the Seas.
Royal Caribbean is holding a radio and online sweepstakes with Clear Channel Radio, Big Machine records and Pop2Life to give away 100 cabins for the cruise that come with passes to the concert (enter online at www.TheAllureofTaylor.com).
A Royal Caribbean spokesperson tells USA TODAY non-sweepstakes-winning passengers on the Jan. 16 will have the chance to win passes to the Swift performance by participating in Swift-themed events that will take place during the cruise such as a look-a-like contest, trivia contest and karaoke.
RELATED: A sneak peek at Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas
Swift will perform at Allure of the Seas' outdoor AquaTheater, which can accommodate up to 735 people.
Passengers in a number of cabins and suites near the AquaTheater also should be able to see the performance from their balconies, the spokesperson says. The concert also will be visible from a standing room area along the ship's beach town-themed Boardwalk.

Throwing mud into the County's water needs!
At a time where many people are clamoring for the Monroe Bypass and better environmental management of water quality in our streams, a recent series by the 'opinion' columnist of the County Edge, paints this important, yet hereto a poorly publicized issue, with the brush of election year politics.
This same subject, the sewer plant and later the "Concord-Kannapolis Inter-Basin Transfer" (C-K IBT)" are favorite campaign issues of Clayton Loflin and to a lessor degree, incumbent Stony Rushing. Asked about at most of the candidate forums, and interesting enough, the subject of a "candidate" question published in the County Edge. Prior to the election campaign(1), not a peep.
It doesn't take a cynical view to realize the issues were broached to change the political subject. Clayton Loflin running for commissioner on the sewer and growth management issues, given his record, is a little like Capt. Hazelwood of the Exxon Valdez as running for office in Alaska touting his record on environmental safety.
Union County, like every county in the Charlotte metropolitan area has major water supply concerns. The seriousness of this issue requires a thorough examination of the facts. Decisions should be made with cool heads, not tainted by a political opportunism or crusading in print to aid political comrades.
Perhaps at some point, the County Commissioners can discuss the prospects of the C-K IBT in a work-session where private citizens and editorial columnists can take part of a truly meaningful dialog. I will be there.

Mark, I am curious about one thing with the IBT. I watched the Commissioners meeting when the woman appeared (the river keeper). She showed up with all sorts of info for the commissioners and was readily available to speak to questions. They chose to move her to the next meeting siteing they could study and ask intelligent questions.(at least that was my interpretation). Seems this IBT stuff should be discussed whenever possible until information can be disseminated, I know I don't know enough about it to make any kind of opinion on it. Is it just coincidence that this subject won't be broached until after the election? Any suggestions as to which side of this issue is misleading facts? If we can never hear the information how do we base a valid decision?
Mark, this IBT issue isn't my issue and I am not an expert on such things, but I have been thinking about what i heard at the commissioners meeting when the Catawba river keeper spoke. She said Charlotte has been granted a 36 mgd IBT and Union has a 18 Mgd now and has ask for 26 mgd. (mgd= million gallons a day). Cabarrus and Stanley counties have ask for 38mgd. That adds up to 118 mgd or over 43 BILLION gallons a year going from the Catawba basin to the Rocky river basin. How will that effect the downstream Catawba river water availability? Remember that downstream includes the power plant in S.C. (when the water level is to low it has to be shut down, as happened in a drought a few years ago) I do not know the answers to this , but I thinkno approval should be issued until we do know the answers. By the way, did you notice I spelled you name correctly in the EJ column?
Thanks John, I did notice that and I appreciate it.
I was told that arrangements are being made to invite the River Keeper and others to a commissioner work-session in June to discuss all the issues and elements of the IBT controversy.
As John outlined above, if all the IBTs were to approved, the amount of water changing basins would be staggering.
It is an important issue, let's all take time to understand it first.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Inslee: It's time to embrace Medicaid expansionFebruary 6, 2013 @ 3:26 pm
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says it's time to move ahead with expanding Medicaid coverage in the state.
Inslee said Wednesday the expansion laid out under President Barack Obama's health care law is a good financial deal for the state. Republicans have expressed concern that the federal government may eventually lower its commitment to the program, leaving states paying the bill.
Inslee said he didn't believe Congress would make any major changes in the program during the coming years. And he said the state is free to leave the program without penalty if the federal government cuts its funding in the future.
House Minority Leader Richard DeBolt says his caucus was not opposed to the expansion but that lawmakers needed look at safeguards.

Embraer and Kun Peng Airlines Co., Ltd., kicked off the orders
frenzy from Farnborough, England early, announcing Friday a
contract for five firm orders for the Embraer 190 regional jets.
Embraer says the order, from one of the main operators in the
Chinese regional aviation market, marks an important expansion of
Embraer's presence in mainland China.
"We are much honored to have Kun Peng Airlines as our new E-Jets
family customer," said Mauro Kern, Embraer Executive Vice
President, Airline Market. "We have always been confident in
China's regional aviation market expansion, and this is an
extremely positive sign in that direction. I firmly believe that
our customer-friendly Embraer 190 will make a strong contribution
to Kun Peng Airlines' growth plans and will please Chinese
Headquartered in Xi'an City, Kun Peng Airlines is a joint
venture between China's Shen Zhen Airline and the Mesa Air Group,
of the United States, with the Chinese company holding the larger
share. Since its start-up in September 2007, Kun Peng already has
more than 20 routes in operation.
"Introducing the Embraer 190 jet fits our company's strategy
perfectly, and we believe it will definitely benefit both of us,
Kun Peng and Embraer, in our long-term cooperation," said Mr. Zhang
Pei, General Manager of Kun Peng Airlines. "Kun Peng Airlines is
dedicated to building itself into the most sizable, characteristic,
and competitive regional airline in China, to promote the
development of the Chinese regional aviation industry, and to
contribute to China's harmonious civil aviation progress."
The Embraer 190 is one of the four members of the E-Jets family,
and entered service in August 2005. On June 30, 2008, the Embraer
170/190 family of E-Jets had logged 847 firm orders and 827 options
from more than 45 customers in 30 countries, with over 1.5 million
flight hours.
The total value of the new order is US$ 187.5 million, at list

Phone Scam Aimed at Homeschoolers
Posted on May 20 2009 in General by
The Home School Foundation/Home School Legal Defense Association confirms that homeschoolers have reported getting suspicious calls from someone falsely claiming to be a homeschooling mother gathering information for research on behalf of the HSF/HSLDA. It may even be a man masquerading as a woman. The caller gave the name of a person who does not exist on staff at HSF/HSLDA. "She" usually says the family or homeschool group has been nominated to receive a monetary grant. To qualify for the grant, the caller says she needs to ask some questions that start with out with general queries about homeschooling and quickly lead to questions concerning the family's disciplinary techniques.
While the Home School Foundation does offer compassion grants to homeschooling families in need, neither HSLDA nor the Home School Foundation would ever call their members and question them on discipline. Also, if you have caller ID, all calls from HSLDA read "540-338-5600," and all HSF calls read "540-338-8688." This caller showed up as a restricted or blocked number. HSLDA does not block their number from your phone.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from HSLDA or HSF and the caller's number is either blocked or doesn't match either of the numbers above, please gather as much information as possible and let HSLDA know.
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any further questions or need to report a suspicious call.

Moorefield Examiner –
The Yellow Jackets shook off the underdog status and emerged victorious with a buzzer-beating overtime shot to claim the Region II Section 2 Championship over Pendleton County 60-59 last Saturday in Petersburg.
Moorefield (10-12) lost to the Wildcats (17-6) in three previous meetings this season and when it counted they came out on top.
"That was a pretty special win for our group. This gives us six out of our last seven. We're on a pretty good roll now and the confidence is high," Moorefield Coach Pat McGregor stated.
"That's really special, because we played a really tough schedule this year. I told these guys all year, it's hard to lose all the time and we've got to the point now that we're in a groove. Our hard work has really paid off. Since we've got on this little bit of a win streak, it puts a little bounce in your step. Tonight is the first time I've seen us really gut a game out all the way through and just be confident. I've seen times this year where we just drop our heads and think it's over. Tonight at no point or time did we drop our heads thinking it was over. That tells me that we've grown. I'm so proud of them in those timeouts, they were responding to everything we were asking of them to do. They took it upon themselves to go out and win that game. They had a lot of heart tonight. They showed they are growing up and they're becoming men."
The Yellow Jackets fought through a tough schedule this season and outlasted a furious attack by Pendleton County for back-to-back titles.
The need for speed was evident with four seconds left in overtime as Moorefield's Dakota Vetter snatched the rebound and passed to Tyler Smith after a missed free throw by Pendleton County's Luke Cooper who just put the Wildcats ahead 59-57.
Smith swiftly moved the ball down the floor and opted to launch a 3-pointer with the hand of Pendleton County's Evan Arrington in his face and scored the game winner at the buzzer.
"In the sport of basketball, it never comes down to one play. It's the body of work that leads us to that and Moorefield did a few things down the stretch to bother us," Pendleton County Coach Ryan Lambert commented.
"They made the extra play down the stretch and that was it. It really had nothing to do with the missed free throw. It was the momentum they created with their pressure defense in the last few minutes. I told my guys you're not a competitor if it doesn't hurt a little bit. It's a rivalry game, a game that you want to win; but whether you win or lose this game we still put ourselves in a position to where you play one game: you lose and you go home or you win and you go to Charleston. Whether we won or lost today that was the scenario. We'll swallow this one and get our heads screwed back on right. This one hurts a little bit, but we'll get back and prepare to go to Notre Dame to make it a competitive game to be in it down the stretch and hopefully pull one out against a team that is a higher ranked team than us."
The place erupted as Moorefield fans flooded the court and the players made a dogpile celebrating back-to-back Region II Section 2 Championships.
"There was no better feeling, but it was a great team effort from all of us. We played our hearts out and it resulted in a great victory. This game meant a lot to all of us," Moorefield point guard Tyler Smith remarked.
The joy of this win shows how having confidence helps usher success.
"We got down and fought back. All the kids were positive the whole time. They fought through it and got the victory. I'm so proud of them tonight for winning the sectional championship after the year we had. The kids really deserve that victory tonight, Coach McGregor said.
"When he shot it, I knew it had a chance. It's so nice that it went in, because he had missed two in a row right before that, that could have been big shots and they didn't fall. When that one fell, it was kind of redemption for him. He never came out of the game. He played all 36 minutes tonight. He penetrated all night. He played defense all night. He's really responded and it paid off tonight. I'm so proud of him. He really had himself pumped up for this game. You can see the way he played tonight, that's the Smitty that we all know and love. It was really nice that he did have a great game and he did finish it out there."
This game was a thriller from the start as Moorefield's Austin Williams nailed a 3-pointer at 7:26 and Pendleton County answered with a jumper by Logan Cooper.
The Wildcats got a steal by Cody Lambert who dished to Evan Arrington for a 3-pointer.

So getting back into the swing of things with a nice little "I Get Mail" session.
This one is from someone who claims to be an "Atheist Priest/Pastor" and I assume is either a joke or someone pretending to be one.
Pretending to be one "badly".
Behold. Atheism is a religion.
I can't take you seriously when you use the word "Behold". When someone says "Behold!" it better be followed by "My Supermutants/Death Ray/Ginormous Penis" and to which I would respond with "Oh Yeah?"
Proof:A religion is a set of laws, like the bible has the 10 commandments, Islam and Judaism has its laws.
No. A religion is a belief in a god. The remainder of the rules are just window dressing.
Laws of atheism:1. There is no god. 2. Anyone who believes in a god is stupid/dumb.3. Science is the answer 4. Mr. Dawkins, Ron Hubbard and Charles Darwin are the "three wise men" of the RELIGION of ATHEISM.5. There is no bigotry of a persons sexual orientation.and lots more…
Hardly… There are no gods and that's it. Everything else is just extrapolation from that premise.
1. There are no gods.
2. The people who believe in gods are not stupid but believe in something not real.
3. Science is just the best way of explaining how the world works
4. L. Ron Hubbard isn't an atheist nor is he considered a "wise man" of Atheism. Darwin is widely considered to be incorrect in the way his idea of evolution occurred.
5. Bigotry does exist within atheism. There are racist atheists out there, there are homophobic ones and there are ones who are sexist too. However a lot of atheists also have progressive values that are anti-discriminatory.
A religion requires faith.Atheism has an absolute faith that there is no god, heaven or hell.
Not really. Atheism is primarily based on an absence of evidence for a god or heaven or hell. In much the same way that we don't believe in ghosts or vampires.
A religion requires devoutness.A devout atheist believes in his/her religion of atheism and will therefore not mix with "UNBELIEVERS", such as religiots. Nor believe their drivel or be convinced by it.
I have friends who believe in religions and I do work with people who believe in things. You are confusing atheism with being a dick.
Also the true "RELIGIOUS ATHEIST" has no fear of the fire of hell. What a relief. No braai when we die.
Any more than the Christian fears the whips of Naraka.
A "Religion" has either a god/diety or prophet or both that started it.And for the all mighty atheist faith it was Mr. Dawkins.The prophet. But no god (notice no capital "g") required in this religion.
I didn't come from the same religious background as most western atheists and indeed never really believed in Jehovah, Allah or Yahweh or what have you. I was "always a Abrahamic Faith Atheist". Dawkins had a relatively small influence on me since I don't come from the same source of atheism. My atheism was a product of violence and murder and the response of a child to the tragedy of Ayodhya. Where grown men killed each other over a doll.
Dawkins didn't come from that. No gods, not even among men.
And finally we don't have to blow ourselves up to get to a nonexistent paradise above.We don't have to whip ourselves and repent.
We don't whip ourselves. But we do things similar to that. We push ourselves to be the best we can be and often that requires sacrifice.
By the way, us atheists get baptized every day when we have a bath or a shower. So we don't need to be baptized, cause every day we do it. So our "nonexistent sins" are washed away.
Meh, that's your point? The symoblism behind baptism is poignant but that's really it.
BELIEVE IN THE "RELIGION OF ATHEISM". Repent from "theism" and be baptized.
No… I don't think atheism is a religion anymore than not playing football is a sport.
This just reads like a parody of what people think Atheists are like.

Incontinence is a condition that women experience where urine may leak, caused by stress (such as sneezing or coughing), urgency, overflow or a reflex. Treatment may involve changes in diet, pelvic-muscle exercises, retraining the bladder, scheduled voiding, medication, electrical-stimulation therapy and in some cases, surgery.
Urology Problems
Urology problems can pertain to both men and women. They can involve the bladder, kidneys, urinary tract, prostate, penis, testes or the urethra. You may have urination difficulties, incontinence or erectile dysfunction. These and more are urological conditions. If you are having urological problems, you should see your doctor or a urologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition where the prostate is enlarged. According to the University of California, Los Angeles Health System, it is not cancerous and occurs in at least 50% of the men in America over 50 years of age. If often results in an increase in lower urinary-tract problems. Treatment involves medications and surgery in some cases.
Urinary-Tract Infection
Urinary-tract infections are more common in women than men. They involve a bacterial infection in the urinary tract, usually in the lower part, such as the bladder or the urethra. The symptoms are painful (burning) urination, frequent urination with minimal output, strong urgency to urinate and sometimes blood in the urine. If the infection involves the kidneys, symptoms may include nausea, fever, vomiting, chills and upper-back pain. Urinary-tract infections are treated with antibiotics and increased fluid intake, particularly water and cranberry juice.
Infertility is a condition where a couple fails to conceive in a period of one year without the use of contraceptives. According to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine in Birmingham, Alabama, the most common causes are ovulation disorder in the woman or azoospermia (no production of sperm cells) and oligospermia (low numbers of sperm cells) in the man. Treatment includes drug therapies, surgery or in vitro fertilization.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is a condition where a man is unable to have an erection or to maintain it long enough for sexual activity. The most common causes of erectile dysfunction are other conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, chronic alcoholism, kidney disease, neurologic disease, vascular disease and atherosclerosis. Treatment includes medications such as Cialis, Levitra and Viagra. In some cases, surgery may be used to correct the problem.
Other Conditions
Other urological conditions include voiding dysfunction (incomplete emptying of the bladder along with urgency and painful urination), urethral syndrome (pain at the urethra with or without urination) and interstitial cystitis (excessive urgency, urination at night and pain in your lower belly or perineum).

Helping people find the joy in everyday life!
About Me
Hi! I'm Diane Spear and I'd like to help you find the joy in everyday life! What does that mean? You may fall into the "I'll-be-happy-when" syndrome: I'll be happy when I find the right partner, get the big promotion, lose ten pounds, buy an apartment, move to ______, get my child into the best school, make my partner live up to his/her potential. Or maybe your life looks good on paper, but you don't have a sense of satisfaction.
What does that feel like? Well, I think you know. It's hard to focus on your everyday activities—work, school, relationship, friends—when you're feeling anxious, depressed, lost in your life, or angry. Maybe you really want to be in a serious relationship and "can't buy a date," while you're watching one friend after the other become engaged. Or you've always dreamed of being a parent by this age. You feel time is running out while you're just on a series of first dates, surrounded by people your age with kids. Or you've worked hard in your career, but you seem on the fast-track to....staying right where you are, while your co-workers are leaving you in their dust. Not the most fun way to go through life!
I've been in practice since 1995 and have worked with people throughout the world who have these struggles, so that they can improve and enjoy their lives. I'd like to help you.
I'll help you as a couple or individual to learn to see your life realistically, so you can learn to appreciate the parts that are working well, to improve the problematic areas, and feel better about yourself. Have you ever gotten lost driving, because the human or mechanical navigator malfunctioned?! You have to find out where you are in order to get where you want to go. You may have to trace your way back on the map to the beginning to see where you started down the wrong road. You don't have to drive all the way back and re-experience it, but you'll do better going forward if you can see where you are and understand the things that culminated in your being where you are in your life today—the positive things that you'll continue to build on and the negative ones that have led to dissatisfaction and need to be re-evaluated.
When you start to see yourself and the rest of the people and situations in your life realistically, you can begin to step away from dependency and caring what everyone thinks of you and experience the freedom of being true to yourself. Maybe that means stepping out of your comfort zone to try doing new things. Maybe that means looking at love and relationships differently. Maybe that means adjusting your work-life balance or re-tooling your career and cultivating more fun. Whether you're looking for help with relationships, dealing with the the challenges of being a new parent, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, substance abuse (your own or someone else's), or general counseling, I'm here to help.
And I'll help you on that journey with warmth, compassion, and humor. Yes, humor! The relationship we develop is not one where you "spill your guts" and I nod and scribble on a pad and ask you how that made you feel. It's a warm, interactive relationship. I talk, as well as listen. (Read more about the process in the "What is therapy like?" section of the frequently asked questions on my website.) And you will learn to find the joy in everyday life! I'm happy to connect with you to see how this can work for you.

The newspaper about the West
Marshmallow factory tour is sweet deal
From Out West #14
By Chuck Woodbury
Today, I visited my first-ever marshmallow factory. It was a swell experience, and I recommend you visit a marshmallow factory if you get the chance.
I visited Kidd Marshmallow's in Henderson, Nevada (a suburb of Las Vegas)
The company offers a self-guided tour, and at the end you get a free 1.5 ounce bag of mini marshmallows. For $7.50, you can buy a T-shirt with pictures of marshmallows on the front.
Kidd's Marshmallows makes between 15,000 and 30,000 pounds of marshmallows every day. The way I figure it, that's millions and millions of marshmallows. My 1.5 ounce bag contained 80 marshmallows, so you figure.
Kidd and Company went into business in Chicago in the 1880s. The company started making marshmallows about 10 years later. Today, at plants in Indiana and Nevada, Kidd makes more marshmallows than anyother company but Kraft.
A real marsh mallow is a wild plant found in marshes and meadows, growing to heights of two to four feet. The mallow belongs to the family Malvaceae-althaea officinalis. The word marshmallow comes from the Middle English word Mershmalwe which is a derivative of an Old English term Merscmeale. Mersc translates to marsh and Meale means mallow. I'll bet this is the first time you've been told this.
Egyptians made marshmallows as early as 2000 B.C., but only gods and royalty got to eat them. The modern marshmallow was created in France during the mid-1800s for everybody to eat.
Kidd makes many kinds of marshmallows including Coconut Marshmallows, Smurfmallows, Martian-mallows and even Penn State Nittany Lion Marshmallows.
The tour of the Kidd Marshmallow factory lets you see the entire process. The most interesting part is where all the ingredients are mixed together and then carried off on a five-foot wide conveyer belt.
After the concoction leaves the conveyer belt, it is chopped up, shaken up, dropped, and finally bagged. You get to see all this happen.
The Kidd Factory was destroyed in 1988 when a rocket fuel plant next door exploded. Two people died at the rocket fuel factory, but all of Kidd's employees survived -- which is amazing when you consider the blast registered 3.5 on the Richter scale.
For the next year and a half, while the marshmallow factory was being rebuilt, all Kidd employees received their regular paychecks (thanks to a terrific business insurance policy). Company officials urged these employees to use their spare time to do community service work -- and they did, contributing 67000 hours all together before they went back to their jobs.
About 45 Kidd employees did volunteer work -- rebuilding bicycles at a children's center, making shark tooth molds at a natural history museum, cutting millions of ribbons for MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving), and rebuilding a church on the Maopa Indian Reservation. They painted buildings at the Clark County Social Services and at a hospital. All together, Kidd employees donated about a third of a million dollars in volunteer help.
Now, they are back making marshmallows.
You should check out this place if you're in the Las Vegas area.
UPDATE (December, 2000): The marshmallow factory has a new name -- The Favorite Brands International Marshmallow Factory (whew!). It's self-guided tour is still one of the most unique experiences in Las Vegas. Visitors are still greeted by a pudgy

Scratchtruck (Food Truck)
3 comments:
i've been following a lot of the trucks on facebook for months but haven't dined yet. scratchtruck is at the top of my list! hope to catch them soon.ReplyDelete
thanks for the review.
I love the food trucks! My fave is probably Duos because I eat there even if the menu of the day doesn't thrill me, I know I'll still end up loving what I try. Scratchtruck is number 2, because I love their fries and their burger is tops. I haven't tried Fat Sammies or the new Scout's Treats (a cupcake truck!) but I have tried Hoosier Fat Daddies and West Coast Tacos.ReplyDelete
You already know that I'm an avid food truck groupie! Scratch Truck is actually working the Bachelorette party I'm hosting this weekend. Soooo excited!ReplyDelete

I'm so glad it's time to talk dough. That's right, bread! What can I say? I get the biggest kick out of making bread, and I'm beginning to delve into history, society, culture, and religion to supplement/flesh out my enamor. Sure, there is satisfaction solely in recipe: commitment to the perfect process of bringing bread from a few raw ingredients to the table. "Giddy" is an appropriate word, here. Then, there is a hunger for more than what the stomach alone can tell.
Did you know that kneading bread involves all of the acupuncture pressure points in your hands? In Arabic, the words commonly used for bread and life are one in the same. Bread is metaphor, it is poetry, it is sacred in some form or fashion within most religions. It is economy and nourishment, and I count it privilege to partake in an ancient recipe that is life for millions ( or taken for granted by millions ). So begins my bread blogging…
I found something beautiful tonight thanks to charity:water. Four children bake homemade bread in exchange for donations to provide water for another. (Here is "we belong to one another" in action.) Read more >>
Stay there, eat.

For almost as long as I can remember, I was aware of certain inconsistencies or gaps in logic in the doctrines of my religion. But I learned not to worry about it, because I had a testimony, based on personal spiritual experiences. I felt the presence of the Holy Ghost fairly frequently, when I prayed, when I was in seminary, and more than anything when I sang or listened to music. It was a warm, peaceful feeling that seemed to emanate from somewhere inside my rib cage, and I interpreted this feeling as a witness from God that I was doing his will.
I completely agree that Spirituality has nothing to do with religion. Personally, I think feeling the Spirit apart from religion is evidence that God is not inextricably bound to religion.
I love when people talk about spirituality without religion. Reminds me of a great passage in stuff white people like-
White people will often say they are "spiritual" but not religious. Which usually means that they will believe any religion that doesn't involve Jesus.
Popular choices include Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah and, to a lesser extent, Scientology. A few even dip into Islam, but it's much more rare since you have to give stuff up and actually go to Mosque.
Mostly they are into religion that fits really well into their homes or wardrobe and doesn't require them to do very much.
Thank you very much for sharing this. I just came to this site and randomly chose this entry at random and was thrilled to see it is by a former Mormon, as I was. Brilliant I couldn't put it better myself. The feeling that LDS members think is the spirit can be felt by anyone feeling high emotion and ex members know this as they have felt it whilst in both belief and disbelief.
You should read some brain science. It has nothing to do with the 'spirit' or a soul, which are as unlikely as god or the tooth fairy. Dogs and chimps share certain ethics with us because those ethics of protection of children and of others in the species have survival benefit. That warm fuzzy feeling makes us feel closer to kin and to the natural world and therefore make us treat it better. It is brain chemistry and we evolved to feel it and it is not 'spiritual' at all. Spirituality is as much a myth as other forms of religion.
Well, I don't believe in spirits, but I still use the word "spirituality" because we lack a better one. Whether the experience of peace and connectedness is caused by some external force or simply by a chemical reaction in the body, it's still a real experience, and one that I personally think is worth cultivating.

Watch Little Britain Online
Last Episode: Season 3, Episode 6: Episode #3.6Aired: 24 December 2005
- Episodes
- Cast
|Full Show Summary: If you have never visited England and want to know exactly what to expect if you do, you might be looking for a kind of guide on British people and British culture. Luckily for you, there is "Little Britain", a documentary series that depicts English citizens of all sorts imaginable and how they behave. Well, okay, perhaps not really. The truth is, "Little Britain" is a sketch comedy show that depicts various British stereotypes with comical exaggeration. The bulk of the bizarre characters presented on the show are portrayed by the show's writers, Matt Lucas and David Walliams. The show is narrated by Tom Baker of "Doctor Who" fame and Anthony Head consistently portrays Great Britain's prime minister. While it began life as a radio show, "Little Britain" is now a huge hit in its native country, which is especially ironic given how unflatteringly many of the characters are portrayed. There is a wide range of strange and comical characters portrayed in "Little Britain". Among them are: Peter Andre, a BBC reporter who has a habit of greatly exaggerating the abilities of the Royal Family. Anne, a patient at a mental hospital whose doctors are always trying to help her lead a normal life, but are usually hampered by her unusual and sometimes destructive antics. Len Boothe, a tour guide, who, besides giving tourists historical information on the places they visit, also shares a bit too much about details of his personal life. Boris the babysitter, whose unconventional methods aren't necessarily harmful. Maggie and Judy are two proper ladies who aren't so much particular about the food they eat as they are about who prepares it. Sir Bernard Chumley is has-been actor who is caring for his disabled sister, whose disability he may or may not be directly responsible for. And these are just some of the characters you'll see on Little Britain. You'll learn more about the British people than you ever imagined.

The nomination of Alemán, who held the position from 1997 to 2002, occurred just two days after he was acquitted of money laundering charges in Panama.

These excellent quality short handle brushes for the watercolor painter have the best point and spring of all Princeton synthetics.
The special blend of varying diameters of synthetic sable hair issues terrific spring. It looks just like genuine sable, and performs at a higher level than other synthetics.
The Princeton wash brush also features a rich, distinctive gold ferrule and marbleized red hardwood handle.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

I was wondering if in the future we could have a mystery box that contained crocheting material…I've gotten so many knitting needles of the same size (maybe you could include smaller gauge knitting needles if you must include them in the box) or maybe other items instead of the needles…just a suggestion.
From one who knits but also crotchets.

b. about 1692 Piacenza, Italy, d. 1765 Rome, Italy
draftsman; painter; designer; architect
Best known for his vedute, or view paintings, Giovanni Paolo Panini extended his versatility to portraits, decorative frescoes, and stage design. He also designed architecture, carvings, festival decorations, and ecclesiastical furnishings. He first trained in illusionistic painting under a stage designer in his native Piacenza, then moved to Rome to study figure drawing. Soon he found his specialty in decorations and vedute. By 1716 Panini was making real and imaginary views of Rome's ancient and modern monuments, which were extremely popular with tourists. His vedute were innovative, unique, and always picturesque; his boldness, sureness in placement of architecture and elegant figures, clear colors, and precise draftsmanship influenced many. His views of festivals, ceremonies, and dignitaries' visits offered lively documents of contemporary events. By 1719 Panini was already receiving honors: membership in both the Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon and the Accademia di San Luca, where he taught and later became principal. During the 1720s and 1730s, he painted decorative frescoes for such clients as the pope, which made him famous. Married to a French woman, Panini also taught at the Académie de France in Rome and influenced many French artists, including Jean-Honoré Fragonard. His thriving workshop included Hubert Robert.

Points just the start of Robbie Gould's Bears legacy
BY ADAM L. JAHNS Staff Reporter December 7, 2013 1:18AM
Robbie Gould celebrates his game-winning field goal in the playoffs against Seattle in January 2007. Nearly seven years later, he's at 997 career points. | Sun-Times Media Library

Robbie Gould was working in construction and felt fortunate to be there.
Out of football in October 2005, he was employed by a friend's construction company in Mill Hall, Pa., his high-school town.
After being cut by the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens, Gould, after four years as Penn State's kicker, just wanted his phone to ring again.
''You really couldn't find a regular job. You couldn't tell an employer that I'm going to leave in two days or a week later,'' Gould said. ''It was just one of those jobs where I could get up early, be done by 3 p.m. and work out and kick and do it all over again and just wait for the next phone call.
''Luckily, I got a call from the Bears.''
As it turned out, the Bears became the lucky ones.
How does one become one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history?
''His attitude and the way that he gets himself motivated to kick every day is nothing like I've ever seen,'' punter Adam Podlesh said.
''He always put pressure on himself,'' said Cleveland Browns special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, a Bears special-teams assistant from 2008 to 2010. ''If there was six kicks in practice in front of the team, he was always like, 'I'm going to make them all.' ''
Gould, 31, hasn't made all of his kicks in nine seasons with the Bears, but he has made more than most. He's the third most accurate kicker in NFL history (229 of 267) and has been a kick away from being No. 1 twice.
But that's only part of his legacy.
Gould is three points shy of 1,000 in his career, trailing only Kevin Butler (1,116) in Bears history and on the verge of becoming only the 52nd player to reach that mark.
''Something that's pretty special about getting 1,000 points is that there's not many guys that do it with one organization,'' Gould said.
Long snapper Patrick Mannelly, Gould's best friend on the team, remembers Gould's tryout when Doug Brien was hurt in October 2005. His natural talent stood among a group of kickers.
''You could tell he was a little raw, but he had the ability,'' Mannelly said.
It was matter of harnessing it, learning more and mastering the challenges of Soldier Field.
''People don't understand that there a lot of situations that happen in field-goal kicking that I had to learn that I didn't know,'' Gould said. ''There's also different situations kicking in Chicago with wind and rain, sometimes soggy fields. You have to figure out quickly how to overcome those situations and make the most of it. If you don't, you're not going to stay around and have a job for very long.''
Tabor also praised Gould for his kickoffs, saying ''he has a lot of clubs in his bag.''
''The Bears have latched onto a good one there,'' Tabor said. ''He's one of the great ones. There's no doubt about that.''
Mannelly also has learned never to doubt Gould, who admits to still being bothered by his overtime miss last week against the Minnesota Vikings.
''Some guys, it affects them more when they miss one or are off a little,'' Mannelly said. ''He watches a lot of tape and critiques himself and watches a lot of kickers and learns from them. He's a student of the kicking game. He corrects himself when he has the down time, which some kickers I think can't do.''
Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis said Gould has ''a real player's mentality.''
''He'll bring things up from a schematic standpoint and things that he's studied,'' DeCamillis said. ''He's studying other kickers for me and looking at other guys for me.
''He's an actual football player who just happens to be kicking.''
Podlesh remembers the call he received from Gould when he joined the Bears in 2011.
''Totally indicative of his personality and the type of person that he is, he immediately pretty much offers me the shirt off his back,'' Podlesh said. ''He was the guy that helped me get situated in Chicago.''
Those types of stories have come to epitomize Gould as much as his kicking consistency in Chicago, whether it's leading a trip to Washington, Ill., to aid tornado victims or giving away $300,000 in grants through his charity this year.
''In the place-kicker world, there's not as many that are beloved by the city as him — for good reason,'' Podlesh said.
''I feel bad letting them down as much as my teammates,'' Gould said.
Ask Gould about it and he lists a number of coaches and teammates he's thankful for. He said he'll remember them, while his field goals, including 11 game-winners, tend to blend together.
He's not done making them. Not even close.
"I'm going to play until they kick me out, honestly," Gould said. ''I think I can play for a really long time.''
Saying that, Gould, who is in the final year of his deal, can't help but drift back to how it all started.
''There were five guys here, and they said they weren't going to keep anybody," he said. ''It went from not keeping anybody to saying, 'Hey, we need you for three weeks. Can you make extra points?'' I said, 'Sure,' and nine years later, here I am again trying to finish out a year and hopefully continuing my career as a Bear.''
