Why Study the Founding Fathers
Why study history, especially early American history? A short video on why the Founding Fathers as well as the whole American Revolution and Constitution era are important to study. Made by a history teacher. The video is of good quality.
The American Founding Fathers: Greatest Social Experiment in History
This video was created to encourage people to read the Constitution and read the words of the men that created our founding documents. It is an amateur video that has slides and lots of text with quotes from many famous people. It is a good quality video with many good quotes.

Report Card on President Obama: MIT Experts Assess President Obama on Afghanistan, Climate, and the
President Obama scored abysmally on his mid-terms. A trio of MIT professors renders harsh judgment on the president half-way through his administration, and their assessments may leave listeners "weeping or depressed," in the words of moderator

What's the difference between a desk reference and a textbook of medicine? Presumably, a reference is just that—a repository of easily accessible, comprehensive, accurate information, leading the user to further sources of information as required. This fourteenth annual revision largely fulfills these expectations.
The format is clear and readable, with appropriate use of tables. There are many up-to-date references to papers in readily available journals. The editing is consistent, with a similar style and sequence of sections used throughout. Although the editors claim to steer clear of controversial therapies in favor of conservative time-tested approaches, there are occasional references to

This year, Kiwanis International celebrates its 100th birthday. Kiwanis was founded in 1915 in Detroit, and became an international organization with the creation of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario the following year.
For decades, first time visitors to the Natural Resources building on the MSU campus have been startled by the guard keeping watch by the north doors. Standing nine feet tall and weighing 300 pounds, a huge polar bear stands frozen in time, in a menacing pose. Polar bears have been on the Endangered Species list since 2008, and though long dead, the MSU bear is once again in danger. The bear was killed in Barrow, Alaska in 1957. It's showing some wear and needs to be repaired soon.
Michigan's Soo Locks opened on time yesterday as the mighty one thousand foot Edward H. Gott sailed through at 11:25 a.m. Ann Arbor's Roger LeLievre is very familiar vessels like the Gott. LeLievre spent his childhood near the Soo and grew up watching immense freighters sail the lakes and locks. At age 17, he spent a summer working aboard the Ernest R. Breech.
For many of us in the Lansing area, U-S Highway 127 is our gateway "Up North" to the more idyllic Michigan to which we all dream of escaping. But decades before the highway was built, surveyors drew an imaginary north-south line that would become the basis of countless maps of the state. It's called the Michigan Meridian, and 2015 marks its 200th anniversary. The Michigan Meridian runs right through Meridian Township.
When you think of the great women of history, your mind probably goes to people like Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, and Rosa Parks. These are women who've done brave, trailblazing things as adults. But what about the role that girls have played in our history? A new book is looking at Michigan girls who accomplished incredible things before they turned twenty.
In tandem with Women's History Month, a new exhibit in Lansing celebrates a unique group of military veterans. Founded in 1947, Post 535 in Lansing is the last all-female American Legion post in the state of Michigan. It was founded by female World War Two veterans, but it also includes women who've served in more recent conflicts.
The cubicle gets a pretty bad rap. The boxy workspace has become almost synonymous with isolation and corporate drudgery. But that's not what its creator Robert Probst intended when he launched his innovative "Action Office" design in 1964.
Nearly 21 years ago, an airplane carrying Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down, killing all on board. The crash ignited a four-year-old Rwandan civil war into what would become the Rwandan Genocide, a mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority.
Merze Tate is a Blanchard, Michigan native and one of our state's most distinguished citizens.
Tomorrow marks 50 years since African-American Muslim minister and a human rights activist Malcolm X was assassinated at New York City's Audubon Ball Room.
Influenza, measles, ebola. Infectious disease is ever present in our headlines and in our lives. Epidemics and pandemics are linked with Man's ability to travel. Cholera's road from India to the Great Lakes is the subject of the recent Michigan History Magazine article, "When Cholera Came to Detroit".
There are thousands of shipwrecks on the bottom of the five Great Lakes, but one ship in particular has always captured the attention of history buffs. And no, it's not the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's Le Griffon, a boat known as the "holy grail" of Great Lakes shipwrecks.
The Arcadia Publishing series of books about cities and towns around Michigan now has a book devoted to the city many in East Lansing think of as its top rival.
Blanchard, Michigan native Merze Tate remains among our state's most distinguished citizens. By any measure, she was a trail blazer not only in Michigan but across the U.S. and internationally. Tate was the first African-American graduate of Western Michigan Teachers College and the first African-American woman to attend the University of Oxford.
We may be headed into the deep, dark winter, but Michiganders are well-known for thriving in the snow. Our state has made an industry of winter activities. The sport of snowboarding itself was born in Muskegon. Native son Sherman Poppen got it all started during Christmas of 1965.
Ninety-six years ago today, the guns fell silent across Europe, marking the armistice that ended the First World War. Veterans Day has been officially observed as a federal holiday in the United States since 1954. Here in mid-Michigan, local veterans are having their stories preserved for the future.
On this Election Day, we have a political story that has nothing to do with influencing your vote. Instead, it's a look back at our history. The city of Jackson claims a unique place in American politics. Jackson hosted what historians say was the very first convention of the brand new Republican Party 160 years ago.
A special exhibit that focuses on the end of the U.S. Civil War and post-war Michigan opened this month at the Michigan Historical Center in downtown Lansing. The "Conceived in Liberty" exhibit focuses on themes from President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The display features artifacts from Michigan soldiers and stories of their key roles at Gettysburg, Vicksburg and other historic battles.
The Michigan Women's Hall of Fame induction ceremony is coming up later this week. Four of the Hall's eight contemporary inductees have local ties, including Two Men and a Truck founder Mary Ellen Sheets and long-time educator Barbara Roberts Mason. Current State's Scott Pohl talked with the other two local contemporary inductees.
The trees are starting to look very stark in Michigan these days as autumn digs in. Many "snowbirds" are thinking about escaping to more pleasant climates, including a team of young engineers from rural Stockbridge in Ingham County. Stockbridge High School has a robotics team which for the past three years has traveled to the tropical island of Palau to use their machines to search for lost history.
A special exhibit that focuses on the end of the U.S. Civil War and post-war Michigan opened this month at the Michigan Historical Center in downtown Lansing. The "Conceived in Liberty" exhibit focuses on themes from President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
This is an important time of year for the legal profession. Both the U-S and Michigan Supreme Courts begin hearing oral arguments this week. The American judicial system traces its roots back to English common law. And now, an iconic symbol of our legal heritage has come to Ann Arbor for public display.
If you were asked to name someone from Michigan who's "made a difference," who would you name? Novelist Elmore Leonard perhaps? Businessman Mike Ilitch? How about Dr. Jack Kevorkian? Bill Haney focuses on Michigan "difference makers" in his latest book.
Labor Day weekend is upon us. And with that, one last tourist-filled weekend at Mackinac Island before the hotel owners, fudge shops, and temporary workers begin battening down the hatches for another long winter. For many a Michigander, Labor Day Mackinac Bridge walk, in its 57th year, marks the unofficial end of summer.
One hundred sixty years ago, the U.S. government agreed to land rights with Michigan's Ojibwe people after discussions in Washington D.C. The Ojibwe delegation was led by 93-year-old Chief Buffalo, who traveled with the group from Lake Superior to negotiations in the nations capitol.
We often presents stories of Michigan history, and this is one of our state's oldest. Before the existence of life on our planet, geologic forces were working to form the stuff of our world, the very earth beneath our feet. It's the passion of Lake Gitchee Gumee Museum of Agate and History director Karen Brzys.
Lansing resident Matthew Wilcox is a graduate student in Library Science at Wayne State University, with an emphasis on video and audio preservation. His practicum work has led to a number of projects at the MSU Archives.
Lansing-born Arzeno Selden may not be a household name today, but for several decades in the early 20th century the death-defying aerialist thrilled thousands at state fairs and traveling circuses.
Current State's Scott Pohl has been meeting historian Jack Dempsey at historic sites around Detroit this summer, and he's back with another installment today. This time around, they stopped by Fort Wayne in Detroit.
A couple of months ago, Current State's Scott Pohl visited the president of the Michigan Historical Commission Jack Dempsey in Detroit's Capitol Park to discuss his book on the park's historical significance. We liked the result so much that we've sent Scott back to Detroit, where Dempsey showed him a few more historical spots.

Show me your favorite living room and bedroom color
We are just about ready to start deciding on colors for our living room and bedroom. What can you recommend? Pictures are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
We just repainted our bedroom BM Tranquility with a BM Frostine ceiling. Our bedroom has 4 large windows, two facing west and two facing south, in an extremely hot climate. This a picture I found on the interwebs, but it does not do Tranquility justice, it is about the most beautiful color i have ever used, I smile every time I look at the bedroom. It is much more blue and a lot less green in our space, similar to the old RH Silver Sage, but bluer, I really love it, and will try to post a picture.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I love that chip cangelmd! It's so fun to see the way it changes from blue to green to gray depending on light & surrounding colors. Glad to know you were able to use it, since I certainly can't in my current home!
I'm 90% sure I've finally decided on colors for my living room and bedroom: BM gray mist and BM edgecomb gray, respectively. There's time left for me to change my mind, though, so we'll see. I've been living with paint samples on walls for months! :p

Maybe it's wired that way.
And because of that it will never be changed and will continue to annoy people who assume it to always round down because it feels logical in this context. :C

Actually i didnt end up using that because its the rounding after division, what i do is check if the signs of a and b are different and if yes i subtract 1.
The reason why this caused problems was that i was treating the integer just like it wasnt signed (for coordinates on a map, i had the precise coord and had to divide to get the chunk coord), which caused problems with the rounding direction changing at the origin, making the 0 chunk twice bigger than the other ones.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:18 AM
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:34 AM
Yeah, it's called truncating.
If you're always dividing by a power of two, you can use arithmetic bitshifts, they always round down (floor).
Alternatively, you can use this function for flooring arbitrary denominators:
inline int floor_div(int a_numerator, int a_denominator) { return (a_numerator / a_denominator) + ((a_numerator % a_denominator) >> 31); }
Posted 11 January 2013 - 02:30 PM
If integer division didn't round towards zero, it would be inconsistent with the mathematical definition of integer division, and a lot of number theoretical code would have weird +1's and -1's everywhere, which sucks. I like it the way it is, and it's never gotten in my way.
The slowsort algorithm is a perfect illustration of the multiply and surrender paradigm, which is perhaps the single most important paradigm in the development of reluctant algorithms. The basic multiply and surrender strategy consists in replacing the problem at hand by two or more subproblems, each slightly simpler than the original, and continue multiplying subproblems and subsubproblems recursively in this fashion as long as possible. At some point the subproblems will all become so simple that their solution can no longer be postponed, and we will have to surrender. Experience shows that, in most cases, by the time this point is reached the total work will be substantially higher than what could have been wasted by a more direct approach.

Sounds like someone has inconveniently defined an origin.
How so? Using 0 as an origin is pretty common.

Sang-Moon Bae Wins Byron Nelson Championship
(IRVING, Texas) -- Sang-Moon Bae took home his first PGA Tour title on Sunday after he defeated Keegan Bradley by two shots in the Byron Nelson Championship.
Bae almost let a four-hole lead slip away, but finished at 13-under 267 with a closing 1-under 69 in difficult windy conditions.
"I had a great time today," Bae said. "Course was really tough out there, winds were really strong."
Bradley was even with Bae through 15 holes, but missed a short birdie putt on 16 to seal the victory for the 26-year-old South Korean.
"I'm pretty disappointed, but Moon played very well," Bradley said. "I just didn't play great today, but I hung in there. I chipped away. ... When I made that putt on 15, I was pretty confident that I was going to win."
Bae earned $1.2 million for the victory.

XHTML - Extensible Hypertext Markup Language
Short for Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, a hybrid between HTML and XMLspecifically designed for Net device displays.
XHTML is a markup language written in XML; therefore, it is an XML application.
XHTML uses three XML namespaces (used to qualify element and attributes names by associating them with namespaces identified by URI references. Namespaces prevent identically custom-named tags that may be used in different XML documents from being read the same way), which correspond to three HTML 4.0 DTDs: Strict, Transitional, and Frameset.
XHTML markup must conform to the markup standards defined in a HTML DTD.
When applied to Net devices, XHTML must go through a modularization process. This enables XHTML pages to be read by many different platforms.
A device designer, using standard building blocks, will specify which elements are supported. Content creators will then target these building blocks--or modules.
Because these modules conform to certain standards, XHTML's extensibility ensures that layout and presentation stay true-to-form over any platform.

Don't be fooled by the beauty of the entrance to the park. Once you are behind the owner's home you will see that this park has not had maintenance in some time. One shower for men and one for women in a park with 200 sites. If you are parked in the electric and water area you have true "outhouses" to use. Majority of campers are here permanently and almost all use gas powered golf carts constantly. It smells like you are parked in a rest stop instead of in the woods. Every weekend night at 9 PM they have a parade with their golf carts, circling the park 2-3 times and blowing their horns all the way! We camped at Twin Acres Campground in a Travel Trailer.Undo

Husqvarna baggers and mulch kits how do you find one
Like many of us, I would like to thank this forum for helping me decide on a mower. I am now the proud owner of a Husqvarna YTH20K46. The only issue is now I cannot find how to get the bagger, bumper or mulch kit for it. The official web site is garbage and it seems many are not carrying these items. I about to go crazy. The folks at LoweÂs said to order it online because it takes them 3-5 weeks to get those item ordered and to the store. I would like to start mowing soon with a mulch kit or a bagger. Any idea where I can get these items online for a good price, or anywhere for a good price? Do any of the Craftsman baggers, bumpers or mulch kits work (same factory)?
i just purchased a YTH20K46 at lowes i got 10 percent off the 1599.00 and 12 months same as cash. and 25.00 delivery . i have found a bumper at northerntool but it is on back order , i am going to call sears tomarrow they have a craftsman bumper on sale for 29.99 i hope it will fit my husq. my new mower has a kohler 20 hp motor i realize a twin cylinder is smoother but they also are more money and probably use more gas.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Replacing TFSA money too early will cost you
The tax-free savings account (TFSA) has become a very, very popular savings vehicle for Canadian taxpayers with over 10 million accounts open at the end of 2013.
As you know, there is no tax deduction or immediate benefit for putting money into a TFSA. However, any investment income (interest, dividends and capital gains) earned within the TFSA is tax-free. This has saved taxpayers over $1 billion since 2009, says CRA.
As well, all withdrawals are tax- free. These characteristics make the TFSA an ideal shelter for long-term retirement savings, as the future withdrawals have no negative effect on taxes, income-tested tax credits or other social benefits.
However, TFSAs are not without potential costs imposed by CRA, as we were reminded last week when CRA announced 54,700 taxpayers received warnings they may face penalties for TFSA over-contributions.
Failure to respond to these letters within 60 days results in a Notice of Assessment and a tax of one per cent per month of the amounts deemed in excess of your current contribution limit is imposed.
More than 20,000 taxpayers have already paid penalties for the 2013 tax year. The tax is on the highest excess amount in any given month, and continues until rectified.
The problem often arises when people use the TFSA as a short-term savings vehicle. There's nothing wrong with that; it is perfectly legitimate. Withdrawals can be made at any time without tax, and the amount withdrawn can be re-deposited in the next tax year without penalty.
The key there, of course, is the next tax year. This appears to be a tough concept for some people, as CRA says 11,260 taxpayers received the same warning from them two years in a row.
Another cause of penalties is the transfer of TFSA monies from one financial institution to another. Such transfers are allowed, as long as the transfer is done directly between institutions and the relinquishing institution files the proper paperwork with CRA.
Unfortunately, many taxpayers over the last few years have moved their TFSA by manually withdrawing from one institution, and then depositing again at institution two. Result -- penalty for over-contribution.
Here's how it works.
Since 2009, every taxpayer aged 18 or over has been entitled to a make TFSA contribution, with an annual limit. Any current year, the unused contribution amount carries forward and is added to the limit for the next year.
The annual limit for 2009 through 2012 was $5,000 (total $20,000) and increased to $5,500 for each of 2013 and 2014. Therefore, a person who was 18 in 2009 has been able to contribute $31,000, including the 2014 deposit. That's the person's cumulative contribution limit.
Tax-free withdrawals are allowed at any time. The amount of any withdrawal is added back to your cumulative contribution limit the next Jan. 1. For example, if you withdraw all $31,000 in 2014, you can deposit it in 2015, plus your new 2015 limit of $5,500.
However, and this is where the penalties become imposed, that 2014 withdrawal cannot be re-deposited in 2014.
With growth, the TFSA could be worth well over $31,000, and we have clients with TFSA balances in excess of $50,000. You can withdraw your growth tax-free at any time, and re-deposit it in a later year.
So, the simple rule is: don't replace any TFSA withdrawals until next year, unless you know you are still under your cumulative contribution limit, and only deposit up to that limit.
As with power tools, boats and fireworks, play safe with your TFSA.

Longtime Virginia Tech AD Jim Weaver Stepping Down At End Of Year
Weaver helped guide VT to the
ACC in '04
LEAVING A LEGACY: The AP's Hank Kurz Jr. wrote Weaver has "shepherded Virginia Tech through two conference realignments and overseen vast facilities improvements" in his 16 years as AD. Weaver arrived in September '97, when VT "played football in the Big East and all other sports in the Atlantic 10." By '99, the Big East "invited the Hokies to become an all-sports member," and they moved again five years later, joining the ACC. VT under Weaver has "expanded Lane Stadium to its current capacity of 65,632, added luxury suites, and built a new football complex." The school also built a $20M basketball practice facility that opened in '09 (AP, 11/12). In DC, Mark Giannotto notes Weaver during his final years in office "helped negotiate home-and-home football series with Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn State, West Virginia and a 2016 game at Bristol Motor Speedway against Tennessee, a matchup that is expected to draw the largest crowd in college football history." Weaver last month was "nominated for the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award" (WASHINGTON POST, 11/13). In Richmond, Mike Barber writes Weaver "leaves behind a legacy of growth" at VT, and is responsible for the "signing of the school's first Nike contract" in '07 (RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH, 11/13).

Pittsburgh Wine Festival supports UPMC
Thursday, and the holy water was baptizing a multitude of sins during the Pittsburgh Wine Festival, where more than 1,800 discriminating palates raised a glass in support of innovation and discovery at UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh.
"I'm open to everything!" mused Alessio Picarella, hailing from Palermo, Italy.
Our wine flight began in the East Club Lounge of Heinz Field, where we sipped our way through our pick of domestics, the perfect prep for what turned out to be a lengthy layover in the West Club Lounge. There, we poured an international flavor of French, Italian and Spanish wines, and, more importantly, the cham-pag-nay, although someone quickly sounded the alarm once the Cristal well had run dry before the free flowing Dom Perignon picked up the slack and smoothed things over for the likes of prez Ed Harrell and GM Dale Markham, internationally renowned sommelier Marnie Old, Robin Lail (of Lail Vineyards), Danielle Cyrot (winemaker at the St. Clement Winery), Bob Bertheau (head winemaker at Chateau Ste Michelle) and Duane Reider and Tim Gaber, the dynamic duo of Pittsburgh's Engine House No. 25.
All things considered, the kids remained on relatively good behavior for this one, up until the moment when our thought-to-be souvenir wine glasses were confiscated out of our swag bags by security upon exiting the elevator banks, provoking a near riot in the street.
"Wow, these really are tough economic times!" lamented one guest.

Columbia, Maryland's new downtown is alive with activity. You'll find new shops and eateries, an expanded Lakefront experience, and new paths and walkways that tie it all together. And that's just the beginning. New construction is a sign of things to come as Downtown Columbia transforms into a special place to live and work, or to visit with friends and family.
There's a lot to see and do in Downtown Columbia. Here's a snapshot of what's happening right now. View all that's happening.

Food Sound Bites! How to better understand them.
in Food
Here's your chance to learn what food news is science fiction or science fact. How many times have you heard it is okay to eat egg yolks one day and the next, not! Or, perhaps you only heard part of what was said, which may be just part of what was reported from the research; you are at the effect of "sound bites." Is there really arsenic in grains, fruits and vegetables or lead in chocolate, and are either a problem? What is the truth about conventional and organic milk? Goodness knows there are all kinds of questions floating around about drinkable water. Our guest, Melissa Joy Dobbins, RDN (SoundBitesRD.com) is our truth detector. You'll get the straight scoop on how to sort through sound bites for food nutrition facts, so you can feel comfortable with your choices when feeding your family!

ENVISION THIS: Reconnecting with your most authentic self through sacred sound
Our guest, Todd Glacy, introduces himself eloquently at his website, http://www.sacredsoundandliving.com/about.html.
"My Name is Todd Glacy and my passion and pleasure is helping people reconnect with their truest and most authentic Selves, leading to transformation, healing, and evolution...
I had dedicated my whole life towards the goal of becoming a "successful" professional musician, but one day realized that music had become more like work and a j-o-b and was no longer fun, creative or inspiring in the ways that originally called me to it. I made a decision to stop using music as my means to make a living, and instead began to explore the deeper spiritual/creative musical experiences that had drawn me to this path in the beginning. I began exploring types of music where sound itself became a meditative trance-inducing vehicle which quickly and consistently put me in "The Zone", that space where one loses all sense of ego-self and linear time... Around this same time I also purchased my first large gong, and was immediately struck by the same meditative and trance inducing quality I experienced whenever I played it. I was hooked and have been ever since...
I consider myself fortunate to be involved in the vibrant spiritual, musical and yoga communities which offer so many opportunities for me to share the experience of being in "The Zone" with others...Whether it be through facilitating individual or group workshops, events, or coaching/counseling, each form of spiritual practice and creative expression helps people relax, open up, recreate and reconnect in a place of peace, authenticity and oneness which is mystical, magical and a blessing to be a part of."
Georgia Sound - Love Can Change
in Music
Calgary's indie/folk duo Georgia Sound announces their return to the music scene with the release of their single 'Love Can Change' to be followed up by their first full-length album in mid-October. Georgia Sound, also known as Ryan Roy and Shannon Magee, are the Calgary based duo that have been stirring things up in the music industry since a chance meeting at a local open-mic night in 2011.
Almost immediately after, they began crafting songs and arrangements, releasing their debut five song EP 'One Way Path'. Those five magical songs won the hearts of Calgarian's and music enthusiasts alike quickly becoming one of the city's most anticipated new artists. The two have been working tirelessly for the past year, self-financing their album but refusing to compromise on the quality. Both have taken on part-time jobs in addition to their full time ones, all while still finding time to perform and record exactly what they want to deliver, an exceptional album.
The album (of the same name) is a representation of the precision and detail oriented sounds of classically trained musician (Magee), blended with just the right amount of edge from self-taught guitarist Roy. On the technical side of things, they enlisted the help of former Los Angeles based producer Steve Dierkens and his team of professional musicians at Studio D (in Calgary). It is polished, passionate and evidence that Roy and Magee are fully committed to their musical career and are more than ready to take it to the next level.
For the release of the single 'Love Can Change' the duo has partnered up with local music start-up Muzooka.

Zurich HotelsZurich is the largest city in Switzerland, a sprawling expanse of glitzy modern architecture and centuries-old historic sights. The city is also a thriving hub of arts and culture, and is flush with gorgeous art galleries and stately museums. Shoppers will find plenty to enjoy here too, as Zurich's streets are lined with ritzy boutiques. If the urban energy ever gets too much, take a tranquil walk in one of Zurich's many green public parks and gardens. Things to seeStart your Zurich day at The Kunsthaus Zurich, the city's key museum of modern arts. Based in a looming, Neo-Grec stone building, the museum showcases inspiring works from the likes of Manet, Turner, and Munch. After, head over to the Swiss National Museum, and learn about Switzerland's riveting history and culture. The museum's displays span from ancient history up to the present day - highlights include the shiny suits of old-world armor and the rich collection of gothic art. As the afternoon rolls around, appreciate some of the city's stellar architecture. Stop by the Grossmunster, an enormous Romanesque-style church perched by the shimmering Limmat River. Tour its 15th century crypts, gaze at the contemporary stained glass, and climb one of the 2 iconic towers. If you're traveling with kids, cap off the day at the Zurich Zoo, and say hello to cute leopard cubs and cuddly panda bears. Hotels in ZurichThere's a wide range of accommodation on offer in central Zurich. Urban explorers looking for cheap and easy accommodation that won't break the bank should stay in a 2-star hotel or guesthouse. Enjoy free WiFi - great for keeping in contact with friends and family - and free hearty breakfasts. Stay in a 3-star Zurich hotel for something slightly more special, where you can unwind in the chilled-out bar lounges and relax in spacious, naturally-lit rooms. For utter indulgence, there are a few 5-star luxury hotels in Zurich, which offer full service spas, refined restaurants, and classic concierge services. Where to stayZurich is split into numbered and named districts. Most folks will likely stay in the City/Lindenhof district, the central historic area at the heart of Zurich. Here, you'll be surrounded by the city's historic architecture and be within walking distance of key galleries and museums. On the eastern bank of the Limmat River, you'll find Neidordorf, a mostly pedestrianized district of winding medieval streets, upscale restaurants, and jazzy bars. Splurging shoppers will find plenty of bijou boutiques here too. For a quieter area, with immediate access to Zurich's deep blue lake, stay in Seefled, south of Neidordorf. How to get to ZurichZurich is easily reached by air, having an international airport based just 11 kilometers from the city center. Zurich Airport serves year-round flights from top European destinations like London and Paris, and from US cities like New York and Chicago. From the airport, the quickest way to central Zurich is to hop on a ZVV train to Zurich Hauptbanhof - the ride takes a relaxing 12 minutes. Alternatively, hire your own car at the airport and drive to the center. Once there, the city's highly efficient, ultra-clean, and extremely safe public transport system of buses, trains, and trams will take you almost anywhere in the city and its neighboring districts.

My mother refused to defend me against my father for years. Weekend mornings were always met by his demands. Within a few minutes she would witness, once again, her oldest, teen aged daughter lying next to her husband, but chose to do nothing about it.

Earlier today, I was thinking about the fact that my life is merely one amidst an enormous population of baby-boomers.
That statement, in itself, isn't too exciting. But, when you think about the impact survivors of abuse are making on the next generation, it's pretty exciting to be a part of it.
My children are grown and as I type these words, my soon to be adopted grand-daughter is sleeping in my office, while I take up temporary residence at the end of my dining room table.
I wanted to share a story about a trip my husband I made to Oregon a little over three year ago. It was our last morning of snuggling in the cozy little cottage we like to call our Oregon home, nestled within a forest and the banks of the Sandy River. We had just finished watching Dr. Charles Stanley preach about our lives being lived out in order to bring honor and glory to God.
Within seconds, the Holy Spirit convicted my heart as to whether I was living my life for God, or not. That was when I sensed the Lord calling me to write my story in the form of a book.
While I was going through some of the darkest years of my life, friends repeatedly told me that I should write a book about being sexually abused by my father and how it affected my life over the years. Instead of giving some serious thought to such a monumental task, I dismissed it, believing that my life was no different than what other woman have suffered.
The next day I boarded my flight home to South Carolina, while my husband remained in Oregon to work from his company's home office.
Three days later, I sat down in front of my laptop and second-story window to witness one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. Fall foliage still hung in the trees, appearing as if they had been brushed with myriad of tones: rusts, golden, reds, yellows, and greens; all intermingling, just in time for showers of leaves being picked up by an invisible wind, just to be pushed to the ground to form another splash of autumn bliss.
I could sense the Lord's nearness, so I humbled my heart to pray, "God, I don't know where to begin this task of writing a book." I begged," Please, be my Guide, let me know your presence, fill my mind with your peace, and give me the words that you want written."
I pulled a blank, legal sized sheet of paper and began drawing a timeline of my life, in particular, my life from the time my dad began abusing me.
Today, I can clearly see how naïve I was then and I didn't have a clue about what was happening in the world around me. I listened to the evening news reports about the Vietnam War my dad had just come home from. I guess you would say that I saw the world through rose-colored glasses, I felt safe, and had no issues with trusting those in authority, especially my parents.
It was the early 70's and I saw myself as a free spirit. I still have some of those tendencies, but life has proven very different than what my dream world was all about back then.
My family unit consisted of my parents, two brothers, and three sisters. Once Dad came home from Vietnam we moved to his next duty station near Albany, Georgia. Actually, our days were like that of any other family in doing daily chores, a weekend drive-in movie, fishing and camping trips, and church, youth group activities.
I was living a normal, almost thirteen year old life. That is until my dad made the decision to cross a major moral boundary of molestation, then incest.
Something inside of me knew that I had been robbed of my virginity…
I cried out to God…but I couldn't discern a response…
I lost trust in God and all mankind…
Although I believed that I was nobody…
God had other plans.
This is just a small portion of my story.
You may ask 'Why are you telling me this?'
Because I wholeheartedly believe that He wants me to use my voice and testimony to be shared with other women who find themselves in similar situations and to somehow convey hope in the resources available to those who have been abused, or are being abused.
When you're depressed to the point that you believe no one loves you, remember that God loves you. He knows the plans he has for you. You are not alone.
The purpose of my blog is to be a willing vessel for God to touch lives through a testimony that leaves you in awe over how awesome our God is, and how He can completely transform your life!
To be continued…
Busy Is A Sickness

This is really practical advice. If we stop long enough to ask ourselves, "Why am I doing this, or that, our lives would be a lot less complicated.
Originally posted on The Accidental Missionary:
I'm busy.
I don't know about you, but anytime I am asked, "How's it going?" I never just say "fine" anymore. Instead, my stock response is always some degree of frazzled. The scale ranges from "busy", to "crazy busy" to "nutballs."
The good news is, my answer is usually met with sympathetic response, which is as reassuring as it is depressing.
"Tell me about it! We are, too!"
"I know! Isn't it insane!"
"There's never enough time in the day, is there?"
But something changed about a month ago. I bumped into a friend at the gym. Instead of sympathizing when I said I was "crazy busy," he simply asked,
"Really? So what do you have going on today?"
I had to stop and think for a moment. No one has ever asked me to "describe my busy." So I conducted a mental review of our calendar before explaining that…

Hello friends,
As many of you know, Made New is reaching more hearts than I could have ever imagined. To God be the Glory.
I'm seeking opportunities to speak to Christian women groups, civic clubs, women's shelters, high schools, and anyplace
that God calls me to share my testimony.
As a matter of fact, last week I spoke to a large group of women living in a women's shelter in downtown Atlanta. I was so humbled by the experience and left wholeheartedly believing that this is what the Lord has called me to do.
If you would like to contact me, or know somebody who may be looking for a Christian speaker, I would much appreciate it.
Also, if you've already read Made New, please visit this link to leave a review of what you thought. This is a new career and the more feedback I get, the better.
May God always bless you…

I-TEAM: Sex Trafficking – Wandtv.com, NewsCenter17, StormCenter17, Central Illinois News-.
Yesterday friends it was so exciting to see the broadcast of personal interview with #EricSteltzer from #WANDtv, News Channel 17 central Illinois. Myself, invited by Ms. Dana Pfeiffer of Grounds of Grace, nonprofit assisting victims of human trafficking. This interview may be too graphic for many, so please take care. Sadly, there are more and more cases of child sex trafficking popping up in small communities across the country every day.
Ms. Dana Pfeiffer, Exec. Director Grounds of Grace, is on the streets and in the homes of those in the Springfield & Jacksonville area. She's found the most common form of human trafficking her organization is seeing with the victims they assist, it is the family members using and selling out their own children. The youngest victim she's seen is just 2 years old, and the oldest 68…

in Uncategorized Tags: #Forgiveness, #grace, #hope, #Jesus, #Love, #Made New, #trust #grace, abuse, survivor, trust
…the essential question for somebody who's been
abused: 'How could I possibly forgive my abuser, especially someone
who abused me for so many years?'"
In the last few years, I've discovered that I can truly trust what
God's Word promises to those who call him Savior; namely, that Jesus
loves his children unconditionally. He knows we're sinners in need of
his mercy and grace, and without him, we're completely lost.
Jesus relates a story in Matthew 19:26, following his encounter with
the rich young ruler. Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is
impossible, but with God all things are possible!"
Most of us have heard the poem "Footprints in the Sand" by Mary
Stevenson. The poem recounts a conversation when a child of God asks
something like this, "God, why is it that during the hardest and most
difficult times of my life and during my most painful experiences there
are only one set of footprints and not two?" God lovingly answered,
"Because, my sweet child, that was when I carried you."
Come back with me to the difficult years of my life as I recollect a
tragic, heart-wrenching journey, as well as many celebratory moments,
when I was becoming Made New…
Do you have a story about the moment God stepped into your life, literally
transforming you into a person you never thought you could be?
My testimony is proof positive that God still changes lives! If he could
take my messy life and make it into a life that seeks to glorify and honor Him
with the days he's given me, that's what I'm going to do.
Praise God from who all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above ye Heavenly Hosts,
Praise God, the Son, the Holy Ghost.
Please share your story with me. I would love to hear from you.

FAIRBANKS - It's cold and dark in Alaska, and the Mayans said the jigs up next month, so it's a suitable time for getting bummed out. Right on schedule, Scientific American has an article this week titled "The Stars Are Beginning to Go Out" that includes the line, "This is, quite literally, the beginning of the end." They cite a study by a group of cosmologists who have found that "95 percent of all the stars we see around us today were formed during the past 11 billion years, and about half of these were formed between 11 billion and 8 billion years ago in a flurry of activity. But the real shocker is that the rate at which new stars are being produced in galaxies today is barely 3 percent of the rate back 11 billion years ago, and declining … unless our universe finds a second wind, which is unlikely, it will only ever manage to produce about 5 percent more stars than exist at this very moment."
In addition, I've been reflecting upon Euripides' line that "Youth is a curse to mortals, when with youth a man hath not implanted righteousness" while reading about Kazuhiro Watanabe, proud owner of the world's tallest Mohawk. His hairdo's held Guinness' record since 2011, according to the Houston Chronicle, and at 44.6 inches long, it requires two hours, three cans of hairspray, one can of gel, and several stylists to assemble. Kazuhiro says he grew his hair for 15 years as a rebellion against Japanese conformity. The young often rebel against existing orders, but this guy's 40.
Still there's hope. The cosmologists admit our Milky Way galaxy "still produces a few stars a year" and "is going to contribute nicely to that last 5 percent," and Kazuhiro's an artist and fashion designer, which explains a lot. Even more heartening to librarians and book lovers, and those concerned about "those kids today," Pew Research recently released a report on Americans aged 16-29 showing 83 percent of them read at least one book last year, with 75 percent of them reading print, and 60 percent of them also use their public libraries. A bunch read books because of school, but 76% read just for pleasure.
That's encouraging because youngsters who read for pleasure greatly improve their reading and comprehension skills, academic capabilities and overall chances of coping with life's challenges, while diminishing their odds of landing in jail. Reading's good for us, as a stream of brain steady studies are revealing. That's why the Slow Book Movement emerged as part of the Slow Movement from Europe that tries to counter the ever-quickening pace of life.
The mission of SlowMovement.com "is to make available information, resources, services and networking opportunities for everyone interested in exploring ecologically sustainable ways of thinking, living and interacting in our world community." This loose group encompasses Slow Food (utilizing regional and traditional foods), Slow Parenting ("a response to hyper-parenting"), as well as Slow Gardening, Travel, Art, Architecture, Sex, Beer, and even Slow Science (enabling "scientists to take the time to think and read") whose practitioners "suggest that 'society should give scientists the time they need."
Amen to that, so long as they include the rest of us. The pace of our hurley-burley world is increasingly daunting, and any respite is welcome. According to Wikipedia, Slow Reading, also known as Deep Reading, "is the intentional reduction in the speed of reading, carried out to increase comprehension or pleasure." SlowMovement.com says pleasure reading reduces stress levels while increasing creativity, inspiration, motivation and generally opening your mind.
Research from Michigan State reported on NPR recently is a case in point. Student's brains were scanned while reading Jane Austen. Some were told to browse-read as if in a bookstore, while others read deeply, paying close attention to the writing. "Close reading activated unexpected areas: parts of the brain that are involved in movement and touch … as though readers were physically placing themselves within the story as they analyzed it." This emerging field of research is known as "literary neuroscience" that studies how reading poetry, metaphors and comics affects us.
Slowing our minds periodically is good for us. And though we missed celebrating World Sauntering Day (Aug. 28), we can always slow down by moseying (move in a leisurely, relaxed way), meandering (move idly) or sashaying (stroll at a leisurely pace) to our mind's oasis: the public library.
