New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "I assure you, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! | 1 "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. |
2 For a shepherd enters through the gate. | 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. |
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. | 3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. |
4 After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they recognize his voice. | 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. |
5 They won't follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don't recognize his voice." | 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." |
6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn't understand what he meant, | 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them. |
7 so he explained it to them. "I assure you, I am the gate for the sheep," he said. | 7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. |
8 "All others who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. | 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. |
9 Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. Wherever they go, they will find green pastures. | 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. |
10 The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness." | 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. |
11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. | 11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. |
12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will leave the sheep because they aren't his and he isn't their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. | 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. |
13 The hired hand runs away because he is merely hired and has no real concern for the sheep." | 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. |
14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, | 14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-- |
15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. | 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep. |
16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock with one shepherd." | 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. |
17 "The Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may have it back again. | 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. |
18 No one can take my life from me. I lay down my life voluntarily. For I have the right to lay it down when I want to and also the power to take it again. For my Father has given me this command." | 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." |
19 When he said these things, the people were again divided in their opinions about him. | 19 At these words the Jews were again divided. |
20 Some of them said, "He has a demon, or he's crazy. Why listen to a man like that?" | 20 Many of them said, "He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?" |
21 Others said, "This doesn't sound like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" | 21 But others said, "These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" |
22 It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah. | 22 Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, |
23 He was at the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon's Colonnade. | 23 and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon's Colonnade. |
24 The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." | 24 The Jews gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." |
25 Jesus replied, "I have already told you, and you don't believe me. The proof is what I do in the name of my Father. | 25 Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me, |
26 But you don't believe me because you are not part of my flock. | 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. |
27 My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me. | 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. |
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them away from me, | 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. |
29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. So no one can take them from me. | 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. |
30 The Father and I are one." | 30 I and the Father are one." |
31 Once again the Jewish leaders picked up stones to kill him. | 31 Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, |
32 Jesus said, "At my Father's direction I have done many things to help the people. For which one of these good deeds are you killing me?" | 32 but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" |
33 They replied, "Not for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, have made yourself God." | 33 "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." |
34 Jesus replied, "It is written in your own law that God said to certain leaders of the people, 'I say, you are gods!' | 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods' ? |
35 And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. So if those people, who received God's message, were called 'gods,' | 35 If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came--and the Scripture cannot be broken-- |
36 why do you call it blasphemy when the Holy One who was sent into the world by the Father says, 'I am the Son of God'? | 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'? |
37 Don't believe me unless I carry out my Father's work. | 37 Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. |
38 But if I do his work, believe in what I have done, even if you don't believe me. Then you will realize that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father." | 38 But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." |
39 Once again they tried to arrest him, but he got away and left them. | 39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp. |
40 He went beyond the Jordan River to stay near the place where John was first baptizing. | 40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. Here he stayed |
41 And many followed him. "John didn't do miracles," they remarked to one another, "but all his predictions about this man have come true." | 41 and many people came to him. They said, "Though John never performed a miraculous sign, all that John said about this man was true." |
42 And many believed in him there. | 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus. |

Cork Food Week in association with The Evening Echo is being launched this year for the first time as a celebration Cork food blended with the great Cork Culture. The week long food and culture week was initiated by Cork Restaurants and the aim is to incorporate all of Cork's sectors in this event.
Last year we started the process with the Cork Pirate Gourmet Trail which took place on the Saturday of the August Bank Holiday weekend. 16 Restaurants joined forces to give a fun filled day to a large variety of people. Keeping the Port of Cork in mind the event was Pirate Themed and Doubloons could be earned along the way if anybody was willing to sing a song!!
Due to its fantastic success the Cork Restaurants have come together to launch the 1st Cork Food week running from July 27th to August 4th , 2012. The Concept of the week is to showcase Food and culture in Cork. This festival of food and culture is being coordinated by the Restaurants themselves with great support from other tourism agencies, councils, critics and businesses in Cork. It is an amazing venture where all sectors in Cork will come together to promote our city and county.
As events are organised we will update the website to let you know what's happening and when!

The hubs and I are helping a friend renovate her new home. In the next few weeks we are going to help her get it done. Here is what it looks like as of today:
The cabinets are mint green and we are keeping them. The goal is to transform the backsplash in under $50. There will also be a few DIY light fixtures.
Can you guess what we are going to do here? This fireplace really darkens the room. Finally, we have got two bathroom updates that we are going to try to renovate for under 500 for each one.
Stay tuned because there will be lots of updates on a dime.
Thanks for reading,

Black Bear Behavior
Bears may forage up to 20 hours a day during autumn, increasing their body weight by 35% in preparation for winter. During this time they enter 'hyperphagia', which literally means "excessive eating."
Black bears move in response to the seasonal availability of food and have excellent memories, particularly regarding food sources. Bears are able to learn about food types and locations, and reapply that knowledge over time and space – a sure sign of intelligence.
Black bears can run 25 to 30 mph and, contrary to some myths, can easily run up and down hill.
Black bears have good eyesight which is comparable to humans, and very good hearing. Their sense of smell is unparalleled – seven times greater than a dog. The black bears short, sharp claws evolved for climbing trees which they do to escape predators, find food, sleep and rest.
Black Bear Reproduction and Maturation
Black bear females do not reproduce until they are three to five years old but some may be as old as seven. Females normally breed every other year and have an average of two cubs, but can have one to five. Cub mortality is high, with an average of 50 percent dying in their first year due to natural causes. The female has 6 nipples and produces milk that is exceptionally high in fat, hence the cubs' rapid growth.
Females conceive during the summer (mid June to July in Washington) and gestation is 7 to 7 1/2 months. However, impregnated females go through a process called delayed implantation so development of the embryo does not begin until November or December. Cubs are born two months later, in January or February weighing just 225 to 330 grams and measuring about 8 inches long. The cubs are blind and deaf, have poorly developed hindquarters, and are covered with a fine down-like hair. They suckle frequently from the female in the den and emerge with her in the spring. They remain with the female for 16 to 18 months during which time she teaches them everything they need to know to survive.
The female does not mate while rearing young, so may only produce six litters in her lifetime.
The average lifespan of a black bear is 18 years, and the oldest documented wild bear lived to 31. During their lives black bears can suffer from arthritis, cavities, fractures from falls, broken and worn teeth, bites from other animals and gun shots.
Black Bear Diet
Black bears are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Eighty to eight-five percent of a black bear's diet is plant material, while the remaining 15% is made up of animal protein. Black bears will eat almost anything, such as grubs from a bumblebee nest, bird eggs, ants, voles, grasses and berries.
Black bears are also opportunistic, meaning they take advantage of whatever is available. They will occasionally eat carrion when available and will hunt and kill their own prey including calves of elk, moose and deer. They also scavenge meat from winter-killed animals, dig for rodents, and eat termites, ants, grubs and other insects.
A bear's diet changes seasonally. In spring, bears eat the tender shoots of grasses, cow parsnip, leaf buds and skunk cabbage. Bears have the digestive system of a carnivore so cannot digest firm plant cellulose well. They target many plants in the spring when young shoots are most digestible and nutritious.
Black bears will sometimes eat the sugar-rich cambium layer under the bark of coniferous trees, and can kill the tree in the process. During summer months bears begin to re-focus their attention on berries – an essential diet item as the bears begin to prepare for winter sleep. In the fall, in some parts of the black bear range, nuts become another important part of a bear's diet. Acorns, white bark pine nuts, and hickory nuts are a few favorites. Black bears are known to raid the caches of squirrels to get to the nuts they have stored for the winter. In the West, salmon represent an important food source for black bears.
Black Bear Habitat and Territory
The home range of a female black bear is generally 2.5 to 10 mi2 (6.4-25.9 km2). Male black bear home ranges are 10 to 59 mi2 (26-152 km2). Female black bears generally will not share their territory with other females, but the ranges of several males may overlap.
Black Bear Dens and Hibernation
Black bears do not truly hibernate, they den. Denning black bears enter a state of 'torpor', a modified form of hibernation. Their heart rate typically drops from 40 – 50 beats per minute to 8 beats per minute, but their body temperature does not drop significantly. This drowsy-but-ready condition allows bears to defend themselves and their cubs more effectively should a predator disturb them in the den and the bears will occasionally emerge from their dens in winter.
Bears den for varying lengths of time depending on where they live. In warmer climates a bear might spend just a few weeks denning, or sometimes not den at all. In Washington and Idaho, black bears den for an average of around 5 months each winter.
Black bears most often choose to den under large boulders, simple depressions under brush, in tree cavities above ground or at the base of a tree, under logs, or even buildings. Compared to grizzly bears, black bears tend to den at lower elevations and in less steep areas.
Bears burn fat while in the den and produce usable by-products such as water. The kidneys release less waste than during active times of the year, and the small amount that is created is reabsorbed through the bladder wall. The urine is essentially recycled internally and then is converted to carbon dioxide, water and ammonia.
Black Bear Communication
Black bears emit a variety of vocalizations to communicate with other bears and other species. Along with vocalizations, bears use posturing to communicate dominance or subordination, and to express attitudes. Visit the North American Bear Center to read descriptions of black bear cub vocalizations to their mothers and to listen to audio files of black bear vocalizations.
In order to establish dominance, male black bears will often claw trees, with the highest marks on the tree associated with the most dominant male.
Two often-misinterpreted forms of black bear communication that can put a hiker on edge are bluff charges and a bear standing upright on its hind legs. Bluff charges are far more common than actual attacks, and are used to scare off a potential threat. They are generally broken off a few feet away, sometimes accompanied by stamping on the ground. A bear standing on its hind legs is simply trying to get a better look with its mediocre vision.
Ecological Roles of Black Bears
Black bears play an important role in forest ecosystems as seed dispersers and nutrient providers. Berry seeds pass through the bear unbroken and are able to germinate. Not only that, but the seeds come with their own pile of fresh manure as fertilizer!
Black bears also break up downed logs in their search for grubs, helping the process of decay in the forest and the return of nutrients to the soil.
Threats to Black Bears
Black Bear Threats
American black bears adapt well to human development, and their global population is estimated to be twice that of all other species of bears combined. Their population in Washington State is estimated to be as high as 30,000, and they are found in nearly every county in the state. They are classified as a game animal and harvest numbers can reach over 2,000 per year.
While the overall population is strong and not threatened at this time, individual bears often come into conflict with humans. Because of their adaptability, they can live in close proximity to human development. Particularly in years when the local berry crop fails, they will frequent municipal garbage dumps and household garbage cans looking for food. Once they become overly habituated or begin to be seen as a threat to people or pets, they can be relocated or even killed by the wildlife authorities.
As more housing developments and roads are built on the fringes of the urban areas in western Washington, black bears are losing habitat, and opportunities for them to pursue their natural food sources are becoming even more limited. This is already resulting in increased interactions between black bears and humans. As climate change shifts the distribution of their food sources, conflicts are likely to increase as they seek out new, suitable habitat. A large network of interconnected, wild lands would reduce the risk of conflict.

Crossbreed Squad Building?
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:13 AM
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:49 AM
Lord Darkain said:
Not legal. Clearly stated in the basic rulebook:
Choose a Faction: Players agree on which
factions to control. One player controls Rebels
while the other controls Imperials. If players
cannot agree, randomly assign factions.
All components belonging to a player's own
faction are considered friendly, and all
components belonging to his opponent's faction
are considered enemy.
And from the Tournament Rules PDF:
Each player must build one squad for use in an X-Wing tournament. The squad-building rules described
in this section supersede the squad-building rules described in the X-Wing rulebook.
The maximum squad points for each player is 100 points. A squad cannot exceed 100 points, though it
may contain fewer than 100 points.
Each player may choose to field either a Rebel or Imperial squad, as tournament seeding ignores the
player's faction.
Nowhere are players given permission to mix ships from different factions into the same squad. For a wacky, different game at home, sure. For any kind of organized play, totally not allowed.
Imperials: 8 TIEs, 4 TIE Adv, 12 TIE Interceptors, 3 Firesprays, 6 TIE Bombers, 5 Lambdas, 3 TIE Defenders, 4 Phantoms

There were a couple of Star Wars comics where Han Solo faced a pirate captain who had stolen a Star Destroyer.
His team used every kind of fighter and created some crossbreed ships when there weren' enough repair parts.
A scenario like that might be fun.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 03:47 PM
I would love to have the brother-in-law's flying together as a flight pair
Wedge in his X-Wing and Soontir in his Tie Interceptor.

A bit off topic but,
the 'Crossbreed' title reminded me of the "Uglies" from the old X-Wing book series. That was the name that Rogue Squadron (or was it the Wraiths?) gave to the cobbled together ships of pirates and bandits; TIE cockpits with Y-Wing engines and such. Would be neat to see and play with something like that.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 02:09 AM
Theres nothing to stop you using mixed squads if your gaming group allows it.
(Tournaments and rules-wise, as others said is a no-no)
Fluff-wise, theres plenty mentions of rebel pilots using TIES (usually Imperial pilots who have just went AWOL and took their fighters with them.)
(Though how they manage that without a Hyperdrive is anyones guess! lol)

dad's 78, diabetic, and and been in the hospital since mother's day (well, the just moved him to a 'ventilator rehabilitation facility, but that's another rant)
so it's no surprise that he's picked up some wounds despite their best efforts... but the hell I'm going to just sit by and trust the vets with him... he's not allergic to anything but iodine, mold, roses, and pennecillin, and I'm currently using a helicrysum/calendula blend in a lotion that seems to be doing good things for his existing skin- but he's got some slow-healing wounds on his arms where water blisters popped, and was hoping anyone knew a rinse or lotion or oil blend that might help? ? |

Apply a cold compress of Garlic Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar. Bed-ridden patients should be turned and pressure-points massaged several times a day to improve circulation. With patient lying on his/her back and knees bent, press and hold acupressure points behind the knees for several seconds. Apply pure honey, liquid lecithin, or zinc ointment to a clean sore. Dress it with a gauze bandage. Take Vitamins C, A, and B-complex, as well as folic acid and zinc. |
Yeah, with circulation reduced from diabetes, I think this might be regular... he's going to have to be turn even more frequently. Bed sores form when pressure is put on nerves which use an acid to send signals and the acids eat at the flesh, or this is how I understand it. I'd think honey would be good... I tried once to make a balm from honey, self heal and comfrey and bees wax, but the honey separated out... :o( |
collodial silver as muc as possible andf turning constantly. email@example.com |

Any hospital providing reasonable care, would turn and massage such a patient at least every hour. I am astonished that a patient has sores such as you describe, even given the diabetes. In your shoes, I'd complain - loudly! |

daisey- it's a bit more complicated than that, and the hospital really did their best, but when you have a breathing tube down a 250 lb man's throat who's just had a necrotic gall bladder removed, and had multiple drains in- turning him just wasn't an option, and the 'moon-bounce' beds only do so much. they trached him the friday before father's day (and told us on father's day that they didn't understand why he was still alive, much less as close to conscious as he was) during all this mess, his kidney's nearly kicked from the strain, and he swelled up like a ball park frank (2 rounds of dyalisis and they started back up) but he was literally leaking through his skin, and his skin was sloughing off in places... he's made tremendous ground in the past three weeks, the sores on his heels, elbows, and the back of his head have all healed, as have 40% of the skin tears... but like I said, I'm not trusting the medical staff to do enough- mom is in every morning, and I'm in every evening, and as I'm learning things (like massage, and range of motion stretches) I'm teaching her, and we're not both keeping journals both of what WE do, and what THEY do (they'll turn his hips, but not his shoulders sometimes, which is bad for his back, bad for his Qi, and really bad for my state of mind) the suggestions are great- I have a friend who's got a colliodal silver generator, as a matter of fact! and daisy- thank you for suggesting acupressure, I will look into that right now! |

Poor man, yes it's a difficult situation. You sound like a very caring daughter. I do hope his condition improves very soon. |
Maybe try honey h##p://4nutritionalsupplements.com/products/honey-benefits-to-skin-and-wound-healing.shtml I read a case history of a man that had horrible open sores and no other treatment worked until he tried Honey.The guy suffered for years when all he needed was a few weeks of placing honey on the wounds.Honey probably isn't used much because its cheap and almost anyone can get it but the Use of honey for open sores goes way back. |

he's making ground by half-inches...but that's fine, as long as he's making ground :) we've got granulation on the two serious ones, the nurses have adapted to dad's room smelling 'funny' (even I will admit that the helichrysum smells medicinal) and as soon as I can catch up with the local honey dealer, I will add that to the list :) they're using a zinc and vitaminc C cream on him all on their own, and the ointment that treats the necrotic tissue is papain and chlorophyll- it seems that the medical professions really ARE learning. I am very much the daddy's girl- though I did ambush my mom, and talk her into coming out to 'hang with the girls' since she helped raise half of us in the first place (my parents were the ones everyone ran to when THEIR parents were being irrational, which is funny, since mine were the oldest, and often the most conservative of the lot) I also got dad away from the old broadway/nostalgia kick we were on, and started bringing in comedies- he never did get around to seeing the Shrek movies, and they were right up his alley :) |

Hello, I have had excellent results with all wounds using comfrey ointment. It needs to be put on clean skin though. I make my own and add antibiotic herbs just in case. Also, comfrey tea will help heal from the inside out if they'll allow you to give your Dad something not prescribed by the doctor. You might want to ask the doctor to agree to the tea. This is a hard situation for both of you and I wish you the best. |

Hi, I am so glad you care so much for your family. I hope for a full recovery. I have a sore at the bottom of my left leg that has been weeping for 3 months now. My lower legs are swollen and I have bumps, or dry skin type stuff going on also on my legs. When applying honey do I put a bandage over it? What I have been doing so far is keeping a bandage over it but the bandage gets soaked. I have gone to the dr. and all I got was antilbiotics and no help. If anyone could explain these skin tears it would help. Thanks |
There are some clays you could investigate... french green, pascalite, and bentonite. If I had an ulcer, I'd treat it with clays. inside and out. |

debethz.... your doctor needs to be slapped with the plaque on which is inscribed his Hippocratic Oath. you have fluid retention in your legs, and a weeping sore that will not heal? 1) are you diabetic, by any chance? 2) are you sure? 3) is this an inflicted wound that did not heal (a bug bite, a splinter, a scratch?) I'm asking because the doctors ignored the obvious with my father, and we buried him three weeks ago. cause of death? Renal failure. liver and kidneys packed it in, after 3 months of me arguing that the swelling in his limbs was NOT normal, was NOT merely caused by inactivinty, but WERE symptomatic of something. 1) cut salt out of your diet...and I don't care if this means you need to eat nothing but raw fruit and hippy granola for a week. 2) start cutting back on your caffiene now- don't try and go cold turkey, you'll just hurt yourself, but start swapping one soda or coffee for green tea or water. 3) parsley, wheatgrass, dandelion, and milk thistle are all liver detox/diuretic herbs. don't care how you ingest them (extracts, juice bars, whatever) 4) start looking for another doctor, armed with the phrases 'chronic lymphodema' and 'weeping wound has lasted 3 months, failed to respond to antibiotics, traditional wound care' 5) what is the wound like? has it changed at all in this time ? gotten bigger? gotten deeper? changed colors? what color, texture, is the fluid? please get back to me- stuff like this scares the bloody hell out of me at this point. |

Living with pressure sores is never an enjoyable experience. If you are at risk of developing them, or you are taking care of someone who might be at risk, get informed about pressure sores to avoid developing these unpleasant injuries. This guide will tell you the best ways to prevent and care for pressure sores. What are pressure sores and what causes them? In general, people who are bed-bound or in wheelchairs are particularly susceptible to developing bed pressure sores. Other factors that increase the likelihood of developing these sores include old age, immobility, incontinence, malnutrition and dehydration, diseases that slow healing, mental disorders that result in a lack of awareness about the body's condition and the taking of certain medications such as sedatives. How will I know if I have a pressure sore? How do I treat existing sores? 1. Pressure relief 2. Cleaning 3. Removing dead tissue 4. Dressings What else should I know? To manage the pain that pressure sores cause, changing your body position is often a factor that helps. In addition, some patients may choose to take an over-the-counter pain reliever or ask their doctor for a prescription. How can I avoid developing pressure sores? There are many ways to prevent pressure sores from occurring. Try to incorporate the following tips into your daily routine: - Examine yourself very carefully ever day for any signs of sores developing. Recognizing you have a sore developing at an early stage will help you take care of it and prevent it from becoming more severe. Rachel Clarkson is a bed sores specialist and a big fan and promoter of "The Volkner Turning Mattress": http://www.Volkner.com |
Here is a link that might be useful: Volkner Systems
According to a recent systematic review of types of beds used to help prevent bedsores, some types of foam mattresses and medical-grade sheepskin were found to be helpful. Alternating-pressure-type mattresses (such as those promoted by the spammer in the preceding post) did not have good evidence on their side. Looking into whether the patient has proper nutrition (and using supplements when needed) is a good idea. |

Since these institutes recruit statisticians and economists to collate data, information provided by them is highly reliable and authentic. However, at times, economic data can also be brought out by quasi governmental organizations as well as central banks.

Under normal circumstances economic data is published once in a month but there are other variations like quarterly and yearly as well.

Martha Stewart. She bites kittens, bakes with Snoop Dogg, and can craft the bejeesus out of just about everything. Last week, she was on "The Today Show" to talk about online dating and trying and find a new boyfriend. Martha loves dating! Oh, Martha!
With that in mind, it seemed like a fine time to post this photo of Martha from her 1960s modeling days — all blown out hair, pensive stares and hanging with farm animals. I'm going to make this happen in 2013. Especially the cow part. [Business Insider]

Absolutely love Rescue Beauty Lounges' formula. Bikini Bottom does not streak at all. The milky jelly formula just self-adjusts on my nails limiting any streaks. I've been on a hunt for any color that is milky/jelly/squishy. After 3-4 coats, I'm in heaven! I don't care that it's fall, I'll still wear this. The brush really reminds me of Chanel's brushes. RBL usually lasts me about 4-5 days before I get my first chip. I hope they never discontinue this color. So gorgeous!

After reading many reviews on this color I finally took the plunge and bought it. At first I was highly disappointed. The application very tricky and streaky. But 4 coats later it became a beautiful watery blue color with a jelly like finish. I love the color but the application is poor and it takes too many coats to get te desired color. Overall I would buy it again but only if I can't find dupe for it. It's too darn expensive.

Please read everyone balking at the sheerness of this! I saw this on Scrangie.com and it was such a good idea. She put on Essie Marshmallow first which gives it that perfect jelly white basecoat and then put on 2 coats of this and it's perfect. Looks better than 4 coats of bikini bottom and easier. So there you go. By the way, don't hesitate to buy Essie Marshmallow for this because it is one of favorite nail polishes of all time even by itself-a very gorgeous classy white that ANYONE can wear even to work because it's soft and jellylike-not like white out.

I love this color. I was actually looking for the Tiffany & co. nail polish color to go away with on vacation and ran across this one. It's close enough. Goes on way thin but builds easily and after 3-4 coats you have the color in the bottle. Seems like alot of work but worth it if you want to resemble 'the blue box'. This color looks better on toes than on hands IMO. Again, no chipping on toes. Moderate chipping on nails after 3 days. Thsi color needs NO sparkle, design, or stones. It stands alone.

Bikini Bottom and I almost got into a fight. This is my first Rescue Beauty Lounge nail polish, and I will admit that I had ultra high expectations. Well, for one, the price is high...$18 a bottle for .4 ounces (OPI polishes to give you a point of reference are .5 ounces- just slightly more), so I thought that the high price would be an indicator of a superior polish (ok, I know that's not always true, but we fall for it now and then...) Secondly, the reviews for Bikini Bottom and the other Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes here at MUA and on other nail blogs have been nothing short of spectacular. And, third, the Rescue Beauty Lounge website claims that all of the polishes have to be wearable at two coats, streakfree, and long-wearing before they can "wear the Rescue name." So, I thought Rescue Beauty Lounge should be nothing short of nail polish utopia. So, what happened?
In short, the application was a pain in the butt. Maybe I got a lame bottle, perhaps I didn't mix it up enough, or I could have used the wrong base coat, but the color was uneven until the fourth coat. Wait a minute - 4 coats?!?! I thought it was wearable at 2? Nope, not for me. If I had been out the door at 2 coats, my nails would have looked a hot mess - color on the sides with barely any color in the middle. It was almost as if someone had outlined my nails with polish. At first, I tried applying thin coats. The polish seemed to stretch over my nail bed, and color pooled at the sides of my nails. So, I removed the polish and tried thicker coats. Same results...the polish pooled at the sides of my nails leaving the centers of my nails looking pale. Growl. So, I removed the polish a third time and went back to using thin coats. Four coats later, the color finally looked even, and thankfully, it was not darker on the sides of my nail than in the center of my nail. In fact, the color was even, streak-free, and beautiful.
If the color weren't so gorgeous and unique, Bikini Bottom would have gotten 2-3 lippies from me for the application. But, I think the color deserves at least 4 lippies. Bikini Bottom reminds me of my boyfriend's car in high school. He was spoiled rotten, and his mother had saved him a 1967 Tyrol blue Firebird Convertible from her early years. She saved this car for her unborn child once it reached 35,000 miles...how weird is that? But, that's a whole different story. Anyways, Tyrol Blue is definitely a good bit brighter than Bikini Bottom blue, but it's in the same vein. A kind of creamy, cotton candy, vintage blue. And, honestly, I'm not aware of any convincing dupes for Bikini Bottom. The consistency is a creamy jelly....is there such a thing? It has that squishy, jelly finish. I absolutely heart this color, and I love wearing it with a pair of jeans and a red top. I don't know...I think it looks really great up against denim and/or anything the color red. Perfect for tips, toes, or a day at the beach.
Next time, I'm going to try a "sticky" base coat to see if it helps with the application. I'll keep you posted. :)

I love this polish so much, and all the rescue beauty lounge polishes for that matter. the RBL polishes wear extremely well so to me that makes them worth the money. I normally wear dark colors, especially on my toenails because i am not found of the baby pinks and whites that seem to be the only other option so much of the time. I love the "jelly" like look of this polish and i cant wear it enough. I love using it on my finger nails as well which is a bit rare for me as i usually do not wear polish on fingernails. Love Love Love this!

I agree with Julia below. It does remind me of Hard Candy's Sky which I also love but had a hard time applying due to it's opaque white base, grrrrr! (I'm a nail polish junkie but a terrible, terrible manicurist!! I'm working on my technique...hehehe!) Bikini Bottom is much more forgiving because of it's jelly finish. I think I used 4 coats to make it opaque..kinda time consuming but it was worth the wait.

Wow! I remember when Hard Candy debuted with their signature shade, 'Sky', an opaque baby blue that I wanted to love so badly...but it looked like absolute crap on my nails. Alas, it was a white-pigment-based opaque pastel...a shade that picks up every single ridge, bump, and flaw. However, THIS lovely light blue shade is like a grown-up version of 'Sky'. 'Bikini Bottom' is sheer, not white-based, and MUCH easier to use: you can use as many or as few coats as you want for different effects, with no streaking, even with one coat. Three coats produce the "as seen in the bottle" shade, whereas one coat leaves a very light wash of color that looks nice alone or with any glittery/frosty/shimmery sheer overwash of another color (like a pink shimmer, for example). The drying time is quick and the wear is excellent, as with all RBL shades. I wish it was cheaper than $18.00 US a pop, but what the hey, I'm happy to spend that kind of money on a unique quality polish that looks great on my nails.

This new polish from RBL is a beautiful sheer blue that is perfect in two or more coats. For a more striking look, try over Underwear polish. It is a subtle, grown-up blue that had me admiring my nails all day. Love it.

Saint Bernard/Mastiff Puppies, a Wauseon St. Bernard/Mastiff puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a St. Bernard/Mastiff for sale in Wauseon, or seeking a St. Bernard/Mastiff puppy from a breeder in Wauseon.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wauseon already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Wauseon breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even St. Bernard/Mastiff breeders who help with St. Bernard/Mastiff rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wauseon paves the way for another one to be saved.

Mondo - If LIHi is asked to hire a police officer for their (estimated) 50 people a day, I assume you also think each bar down on Ballard AV should hire a police officer? I've never been harassed by any of our local homeless but some of those hipster drunks have been down right nasty. Hiring a police officer for fifty people over the course of a day... These are people, we don't have to be so afraid of them.

Grivas, Efstratios
4... Qb6 - A Subtle and Reliable System for Black Explained in Detail
This book is in every way a definitive guide: Efstratios Grivas provides the inside story on a variation of the Sicilian Defence that he has worked for more than 20 years to perfect, and which rightly bears his name. The Grivas Sicilian (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Qb6) has proved itself sound and reliable in practice, but is also far less well investigated than most Sicilian systems.

A Complete Guide to the Grivas Sicilian
A Challenging Repertoire Versus Five King's Fianchetto Defences
Grivas provides a full and detailed repertoire for White against five important openings: the Grunfeld, King's Indian, Benoni, Benko and Modern. In each case, he has recommended a line in which he has a wealth of experience, and has played a significant personal role in developing over many years. The recommendations are geared towards posing Black unconventional problems: your opponents will not be able to churn out lengthy memorized variations, but will need to solve problems at the board in positions that are somewhat different in character from those normally reached in these openings.

About Michael Lende
Michael Lende combines entrepreneurial drive and astute business acumen with a very strong and proven background in marketing, sales, advertising and promotions. Lende has had over 20 years of verifiable successes as an entrepreneurial business developer, steering daily operations and large-scale change initiatives to deliver measurable increases in revenue growth, productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction.
Between 2006-2011, Lende was Regional Vice-President of Zipcar Canada Inc. He joined this car sharing company to lead Zipcar Canada and manage the Toronto market to profitability. In his role, Lende was responsible for creating and achieving budgetary goals and sustained company growth, and he oversaw all marketing, sales, customer service, fleet management and business development activities in Toronto. Michael created and implemented a number of marketing and operational strategies that greatly enhanced customer satisfaction levels and lead to successful partnerships with high profile clients, including Starbucks, the Toronto Transit Commission and Via Rail. Michael's innovative and creative approach led to him being dubbed "a pioneer in Canadian car sharing" by Zipcar's CEO and Chairman. During his time as Regional Vice-President, Lende played a leading role in attracting over 500,000 new members to Zipcar, growing the company by over 400 per cent in 5 years and gaining a 70 per cent share in a market that had been dominated by a long established and well respected competitor. Michael's success at Zipcar Canada resulted in him being nominated for Canada's Top 40 Under 40.
From 2003-2006, Michael was Senior Vice President, Marketing for Dominion Twin Rinks Sports & Entertainment. Here, Michael's primary responsibility was creating, launching and managing a multi-purpose facility which contained rinks, a restaurant, athletic leagues & community programming. Michael was also responsible for overseeing all sales and partnerships at Dominion Rinks Sports & Entertainment: he secured a naming rights partnership from A&P's dominion brand while also securing partnerships with a range of high profile companies and brands including Ford, Chrysler, Molson, Stanley, Clarica, Bell Mobility, PlayStation, AM 640 and Kellogg's.
Between 2002-2004 Michael was Chief Marketing Officer and Partner at The Kee To Bala Concert Hall. This legendary Canadian music venue had fallen on hard times although in its early days it had featured performances from Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington & The Dorsey Brothers. Michael successfully renovated and resurrected this infamous venue. He booked, marketed and sold out performances from artists including Blue Rodeo, Shaggy and Tom Cochrane. He oversaw a process of diversification in which sponsorships, restaurant facilities, family performances and resort nights featured prominently at the venue.
From 2000-2002, Michael worked as Director of Sales for The Liberty Entertainment Group, with ultimate responsibility for overseeing the marketing, launch and sales, as well monitoring the revenue, for the Liberty Grand in Toronto. During his time as Director of Sales, Michael surpassed revenue goals for pre-opening of the venue, generating more than $7 million in sales. Michael oversaw a number of high profile events during his time at The Liberty Entertainment Group; he worked closely with the CEO on the 'World Leaders' event, the Toronto International Film Festival as well as on 7 NHL Alumni Awards. Michael was also successful in securing various corporate events at the venue, with RBC, Unilever, Deloitte, Air France, NHL Alumni and Rogers all having corporate events at Liberty Grand during his tenure as Director of Sales.
Prior to becoming Director of Sales at Liberty Grand, Michael served as Vice President, Marketing & Sales, as well as being the co-founder, of the Capitol Event Theatre in Toronto. The vision was to revolutionize the event business in Toronto and create a trendy new venue to host the city's most prolific events. A whole new category of hospitality was created in 1998. During his time in this position, Michael arranged the financing, created the infrastructure and organized the management team for the venue, secured editorial events from Nesbitt Burns, Royal LePage, Osler Hoskin, Amdocs & Lipton and exclusively aligned with North 44, Presidential Gourmet and other elite caterers in order to ensure that the Capitol Event Theatre was seen as Toronto's finest and most exclusive venue. Under Michael's guidance the Capitol Event Theatre reached profitability in its first 9 months of operations.
Michael's first entrepreneurial venture was as President & CEO of Lende Management & Promotions between January 1993 and October 1998. At age 21, Michael started this company, which operated both as a consulting firm for events and event venues while operating a subsidiary company known as The Hockey Academy of Toronto Inc. (HAT). Lende Management & Promotions launched the first ever International Coaching Clinics which featured prestigious coaches Jacques Demers, Ted Nolan and Jacques Martin, consulted for several professional teams including Detroit Vipers and Chicoutimi Sagueneens and built the first training centres with synthetic ice in Chicago, Detroit and Toronto. Michael grew membership of the International Coaching Clinics from 100 students to 1,100 students in 9 months in 4 cities, executed many high profile sporting events for Bauer, CCM and NHL Alumni and, with NHL guest coaches and a state of the art training centre, Michael sold HAT for a sizeable profit.

Energy Stewards Initiative (ESI) is a one- to two-year LRC program for ELCA congregations and Lutheran Outdoor Ministry sites designed to:
Each congregation and camp appoints an Energy Steward to be the point person to participate in the program and work with their property team. Participating congregations and camps use an online tool, the Energy Stewards web platform, to monitor their energy use, plan next steps, record actions taken, communicate with other participants, and track progress. To learn more about the platform and how it is used, see What is Energy Stewards? An introductory webinar was held on March 25, 2014. Download the slides in PDF format [ESI Introduction 25March14 (1).pdf] at the bottom of this page. Watch and listen to a recording of the webinar here. (There were some technical issues at the beginning of the Q&A session, but please be patient and they will pass.) RESOURCES FOR CURRENT ESI PARTICIPANTS | Insulation project, First Lutheran Church, Decorah, IA EPA Energy Star Director endorses Energy Stewards Initiative: "The Energy Stewards Initiative (ESI), sponsored by Lutherans Caring for Creation, is one of the few energy stewardship programs in the country that actually facilitates and documents concrete achievements in saving energy, saving money, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. While there are many well-intended, but merely "feel good" faith-based energy efficiency pledges, campaigns, challenges, covenants, etc., only a few are really generating and verifying actual results. Further, ESI is on track to shepherd a good many congregations to earning national ENERGY STAR certification. Therefore, I am pleased to call out and recognize the solid achievements being tracked by the Energy Stewards Initiative and will hold it up as an example for denominations and other faith-based groups who really want to make a difference in congregational cash-flow back to the ministry from energy costs and to preventing pollution that threatens human life and health."

2230-2330 Would You Believe? School of Love. The Cistercian Sisters of Glencairn Abbey, near Lismore, Co Waterford, have chosen to follow a way of life, rooted in prayer, work, silence and community, that has barely changed in nine centuries. To some, it may appear a flight from the so-called "real world", but that's not how the sisters themselves see the way they live. The abbey is an engine of prayer and "a school of love", through which they hope to make the world a better place. With unique, unfettered access, this special edition of WYB? observes the community through the course of a year, observing these clever and capable women from a variety of different back-grounds in all the liturgical and farming seasons and at all stages of their religious lives, from the novitiate to death.

Still using paper coffee filters? You might be stuck with a caffeine habit, but getting rid of those disposable coffee filters is easier than you may realize.
Permanent filters made of stainless steel mesh (and typically gold colored) can serve for many years. So can filters made of hemp, the same fiber used to make ropes and more recently, a raft of other items from T-shirts to washrags. Hemp is tough and these filters promise to last for years also.
We bought one from Cusp Natural Products, a family-owned Washington company that began making a few hemp items in the 1990s and today finds itself making hot pads, dog toys, baseball caps and even iron board covers from hemp fabric.
We like supporting Cusp because their products are made from a renewable source and constructed in the USA. Their coffee filters are available in all sizes (#2, #4 and #6) and help us reduce throw-away products, like paper coffee filters. We discovered Cusp products at the Twin Cities Green store in Minneapolis. But since we live in Dallas, it's good to know we can find them online.
If you want to compare coffee filters, try The Find shopping search engine, where a search for "Reuseable Coffee Filter" pops up dozens of options in cotton, hemp and stainless steel. We like the fiber products, but know people who swear by the durable mesh baskets. So check them all out. (One key to good coffee, aside from buying quality beans and keeping the grinder sharp, is to keep the basket and all other parts clean. We use Coke. Its acid eats up residue and it doesn't leave the next batch of coffee tasting funny, like vinegar does. (This whole process does wonderful double duty as a cautionary tale with kids, demo'ing what happens to their teeth when they drink colas.)
