Résumé :
Although this little book (it can be called an occasional address, yet without having the occasion which produces the speaker and gives him authority, or the occasion which produces the reader and makes him eager to learn) is like a fantasy, like a dream by day as it confronts the relationships of actuality: yet it is not without assurance and not without hope of accomplishing its object. It is in search of that solitary "individual," to whom it wholly abandons itself, by whom it wishes to be received as if it had arisen within his own heart; that solitary "individual" whom with joy and gratitude I call my reader; that solitary "individual" who reads willingly and slowly, who reads over and over again, and who reads aloud- for his own sake. If it finds him, then in the distance of the separation the understanding is perfect, if he retains for himself both the distance and the understanding in the inwardness of appropriation.

We bought this rug for our babies room. I love the colors in this rug. It looks great with our yellow and turquoise walls. The rug is really well constructed, it's soft and thick. The edges were curled up for a while, but we put some heavy boxes down on the edges for a week and that appears to have done the trick. I would absolutely recommend this rug to anyone wanting a fun colorful rug for a small room. The bedroom is 10x12, but with crib and other furniture on the edges, this rug nicely fills the middle of the room. It'll be a great place to play.
love it, colors were perfect
I returned this rug...the colors weren't as good as shown on the website, seemed kind of cheesy when I got it in the room. Also a very strong strong chemical smell which gave me an instant headache. Returned for a different rug. Thought this one would look better.

- CTV procedural Motive dives into the whys of crime
There is no Killing-style dreariness or uncertainty in Motive. Quite the opposite. Things move quickly, and the crime has a bow tied on it by Det. Flynn and her partner, Detective Oscar Vega (Louis Ferreira) each week. Lehman says the series' non-linear twist "really pushes the story along so well. It's like a really satisfying morsel."

Column as I see 'em …
The numbers are factual, stark and daunting. Taxpayers are losing roughly $175,000 a year on a recycling program that was doomed to fail from the start.
That program in 2014 generated a paltry $30,000 in revenue from the sale of materials collected at a cost to taxpayers of just over $200,000. Salaries alone are three times the revenue generated and will only go higher in years to come.

Tire sale
Goodyear size 12.4x28 or (11x28) size tractor tires were on sale for $44. You could see Gordon Jenkins at Twin Oaks Service Station on North Main or stop by and see Gene King at the Tire Shop at 109 West Woodford Street.
Wills probated
The will of the late Roy Langford of Sinai was probated. The residue of all property was left to his nephew, Thurle Hardin and his wife, Lura.
UPDATED, March 5, 11:30 a.m.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for the Kentucky River, affecting several Kentucky counties, including Anderson County.
According to the warning, the water at Frankfort lock was measured at 27.6 feet. Flood stage is 31.0 feet. Minor flooding is forecast for Friday morning to Friday evening as the river rises and crests near flood stage Friday morning. The river should fall below flood stage Friday afternoon.
UPDATED, March 5, 9:25 a.m.
The City of Lawrenceburg offices will be closing at noon today, according to Robbie Hume, city clerk administrator.
We have learned of several closings in Anderson County so far.
Anderson County schools are closed on Thursday, March 5. The system's central office is also closed today.
Anderson County Attorney Bobbi Jo Lewis used her Facebook page to announce that her office is closed today and said that District Court is also canceled for Thursday.
Anderson County schools will be closed on Thursday, March 5 due to slick roads, according to a message on the school system's Twitter account.
Check back for more news concerning the latest round of winter to hit Anderson County.
Anderson Countians should prepare for flooding and significant snowfall over the next few days, according to Bart Powell, the county's public safety director. In a news release, Powell said the flooding event will occur over the next 12 to 72 hours, adding that snow will begin falling Wednesday afternoon. He said citizens living in flood-prone areas should be prepared to evacuate and warned that they should not wait until it's too late to seek shelter.
Getting another furlough from jail to see a doctor isn't likely for a Lawrenceburg man who tested positive for methamphetamine the last time he was granted one, according to a report issued by the Shelby County Detention Center.
Robert H. Phillips, 28, of 1500 Glensboro Road tested positive Feb. 19 after he was granted a furlough to see a doctor.
He was released to his mother, who was supposed to take him to the doctor appointment and return him directly to jail, according to the report.

Relationships Between System Definition Model (SDM) Documents
In Visual Studio Team System Architecture Edition, you can use the Distributed System Designers to define applications, design application systems, and design logical datacenters. You can then evaluate deployment for these application systems by validating them against datacenter models. You can perform these tasks by creating and maintaining a set of interrelated diagrams and documents that are based on the System Definition Model (SDM) or SDM documents. Typically, the definitions created in one document, for example, application definitions, are referenced by other documents. For more information, see Overview of the System Definition Model (SDM).
You can begin using the Distributed System Designers by creating distributed systems solutions. Architecture Edition includes solution templates that you can use to create distributed systems solutions. A distributed systems solution typically contains or can contain the following items:
A single application diagram (.ad file)
One or more system diagrams (.sd files)
One or more logical datacenter diagrams (.ldd files)
One or more deployment diagrams (.dd files)
System Definition Model (SDM) documents (.sdm files) for externally implemented application definitions
Projects containing code files, configuration files, other related files, and SDM documents for internally implemented application definitions
The following sections contain more information about distributed system diagrams and their relationships between each other.
Application Diagram
When you begin with the Application Design solution template, Visual Studio creates a distributed systems solution that contains a single application diagram. You can visualize and define supported applications and their connections in the development environment on this diagram by using Application Designer. The level of support for defining, configuring, and evaluating applications for deployment using Distributed System Designers will vary depending on the application type. In addition, the implementations for these applications can exist inside or outside the solution. You can design application systems from these application definitions by creating system diagrams. The systems that you design will contain the applications that you select as members. You can configure and connect these members separately and independently from their definitions for the deployment environment.
If an application definition supports implementation, the application diagram stores the SDM information for that application before you implement it. After you implement an application definition, Visual Studio stores its SDM information as its own .sdm file in the corresponding project. Visual Studio stores the SDM information for applications that you do not implement, such as external Web services, as their own individual .sdm files in the solution.
For more information, see Designing Applications with Application Designer.
System Diagrams
When you begin with the System Design solution template, Visual Studio creates a distributed systems solution that contains a system diagram and an application diagram. You can design an application system on this system diagram by using System Designer. A system diagram represents the definition of a single application system. You can add new or existing applications and systems as members. If you add a new application as a member, its definition appears on the application diagram. If you add a new system as a member, Visual Studio creates a new system diagram for that member's definition. A system diagram stores the SDM information for a particular system as well as references to the SDM information for its members.
For more information, see Designing Application Systems with System Designer.
Logical Datacenter Diagrams
When you begin with the Logical Datacenter Design solution template, Visual Studio creates a distributed systems solution that contains a logical datacenter diagram. You can design a logical datacenter on this diagram by using Logical Datacenter Designer. You can add logical servers, zones, and connections to create a logical representation of a target datacenter. You can add multiple logical datacenter diagrams to a distributed systems solution. A logical datacenter diagram stores the SDM information for a particular logical datacenter.
For more information, see Representing Datacenters with Logical Datacenter Designer.
Deployment Diagrams
When you define deployment for a particular system against a specific logical datacenter, Visual Studio adds a deployment diagram to your distributed systems solution. You can define deployment on this diagram by using Deployment Designer to bind applications in your system to logical servers and validate that deployment. You can create multiple deployment diagrams. A deployment diagram stores the SDM information that describes deployment for a particular system to a specific logical datacenter. The deployment diagram also stores references to the SDM information for that system and logical datacenter.
For more information, see Evaluating System Deployment with Deployment Designer.
For a distributed system diagram or SDM document to compile and validate correctly, all referenced documents must be available in the solution, and all definitions referenced in those documents must be present.
The following list describes references that these diagrams contain:
The application diagram contains references to one or more application definitions.
A system diagram contains references to application definitions and other system definitions.
A deployment diagram contains references to a single system definition and a single logical datacenter definition.
Visual Studio resolves all references in distributed system diagrams based on names instead of Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) or other cryptic identifiers. Changes that you make to a definition are available to any document that references that definition as long as Visual Studio can locate the definition. When Distributed System Designers attempt to locate referenced definitions, it searches the solution for definitions of the requested type and name in documents of the appropriate type (or extension) and document namespace. As a result, renaming the file name of a referenced document does not break references.
Loading and Locating Referenced SDM Documents
Distributed System Designers load a distributed system diagram into memory when you open it or when another open diagram references it. The designers will load the referenced definition files if the diagram is not open or is not referenced by another open document. The designers will open a referenced diagram only when you request it, even if they have already loaded the document into memory.
If the designers locate the referenced document successfully, the referenced definition appears in the diagram that references that definition, and its properties appear in the Properties window. However, you cannot edit those properties.
If the designers cannot locate the referenced document, or if the definition is missing from the document, the definition will then appear with a dashed outline and a squiggly line beneath its name to indicate a missing or orphaned definition. The Properties window will not display the properties for the missing definition.

Make Eros proud! A short, wintry walk through the park's scenic Heather Garden overlooking the Hudson sets the mood. Following, the warmth of New Leaf's charming 1930s cobblestone cottage will make you feel perfectly at home. Friday evening will be accompanied by a live performance by Blue Haze over New York. Then, indulge. The full, delectable 3-course menu is below.
Be sure to call today to make reservations!
And, hopefully you've figured out what to get your special someone–but if you haven't, no need to fret: Consider the lasting gift of funding an NYC tree in his/her honor. Fund one today to receive a beautiful, personalized tree certificate signed by New York Restoration Project (NYRP) Founder Bette Midler and Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Remember that net proceeds from New Leaf go to NYRP, the Bette Midler-founded non-profit that's dedicated to restoring green spaces throughout the five boroughs. Your Valentine's Day meal will do more than romance–it greens the under-resourced neighborhoods of NYC!

Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting

Some would argue that Fort Tryon Park is never more resplendent than it is now—when the green months of summer transform into the rioting colors of fall. The crisp air, warmed by the bright sun, is the perfect combination for enjoying NYC outdoors. Stop by the New Leaf as we introduce our fall menu and dine on our outdoor patio, draped by the magnificently changing leaves of Fort Tryon's towering trees.
Spring has Sprung
There are few things more glorious than spring in Fort Tryon Park. Leaves unfurling, colors returning, flowers blossoming and birds chirping… sound a little too magical? Well, that's because it is. There is no getting around it. Fort Tron Park is the stuff of fairytales.
If you've been here before then you know exactly what we're talking about. If not… well, you really haven't experienced spring in New York. Explore the hundreds of varieties of spring flowers currently in bloom. See photos by Gabe Kirchheimer of what you can spot on your next trip here.
Welcome to Our Brand Spankin' New Site
We are happy to unveil our brand new and improved, biligual, glorious website!
Now you'll be able to view the New Leaf site on your mobile phone, tablet, dishwasher, smokescreen – whatever you so desire. Enjoy and let us know if you have any feedback by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks to ZappCreative for all the help!

Truckee Condo Rentals(12)

Recent Truckee Reviews
Truckee Treasure
Spent a few days skiing with family and had a great time. The home was clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. The property manager does everything right and we were impressed with the welcome basket upon our arrival. We were a little concerned before booking about the proximity of the home to I-80, but it turned out to not be an issue at all. The home is very well constructed and insulated so there was no road noise discernible from inside the home. Will definitely book here again on future trips to Truckee.
Fantastic Donner Tahoe Condo!
My family stayed at Doug and Gay's beautiful condo and we were so impressed. The location was perfect and the condo was truly clean and beautiful. It seems that everything was thought of to make our stay very smooth and enjoyable. We would love to stay here again.
Delightful property that has it all
I loved this cosy second floor two bedroom condo. The kitchen had everything you could have wished for. The manager was easy to contact via cell phone. Listing is has an accurate description of the property. Would recommend in a heart beat, in fact I will look them up again for a stay during the summer.

ordering pawpaw trees
I am interested in ordering pawpaw trees from Forest Keeling nursery. They only charge $20 for each pawpaw including Peterson varieties. This price is much better than any other source I have found but I have never ordered anything from this nursery. Has anyone ordered pawpaws from them before and if so were you satisfied?
I just got an order from them; two of Peterson's. They were about a foot tall and in 4" pots. One had broken dormancy and the top is dead now. (I shouldn't have left them outside)
I don't remember that the ones I got from One Green World a few years ago were that small.
Peterson's pawpaw are the only thing they ship.
I got my NC-1, Shenandoah, Susquehanna from FK Nursery. The ladies there helped me out a lot. Really nice to work with.
The do ship more than just Peterson pawpaws.
When I called to place my order I wanted to add a few other plants but they told me they only ship Peterson's Pawpaws. (obviously they have either changed their policy or the person I spoke with was uninformed.)
My invoice specifially states "4x4", but I did not really read it.
Thanks for all the great information. I called and talked with them yesterday and they will ship other pawpaw varieties besides Petersons and they will now ship to NC, you may want to check them again as they may now ship to VA. You are right that a couple years back they would not.
I've ordered pawpaws from several places and like those from Edible Landscaping, One Green World, and England Nursery. Those I got from Forest Keeling, and Burnt Ridge were smaller, and in smaller pots. They required babying an extra year to reach the size of the others. While the price at Edible Landscaping was the highest, their size and quality was excellent. The pawpaw from England's was bare root, but it was sturdy and grew fine.
I ordered my Shenandoah, Susquehanna from Edible Landscape Nursery or FK; I forget which one; last fall and they were delivered to Virginia and they were about 18 inches tall. Planted them; they survived the winter; and grew well during the year with no added shade. Now they are about 2 feet tall. I hope they devoted their first year energy to developing their taproot. I mulched them well, watered them weekly, and they got about 7 hours of sun per day.

It was convenient because of how close it is to the Airport and its shuttle transportation.
The rooms are extremely small and there is a lack of television channels.
Airport shuttle service
How warm the room was despite turning the heat down all the way.
Sound isolation is very poor. Couldn't sleep because of noise coming from neighbours: water flush in toilet, baby's cries, people steps...
Clean, good location, good wifi, decent sized room.
Breakfast wasn't great, could hear people in adjacent rooms.
Great staff snd spacious rooms. Location is ideal for visiting Helsinki. Good breakfast buffet.
Could use a new paint job

The retailer and eight others, including Target and Neiman Marcus, move up into the top 30 fastest-loading web sites of more than 70 e-retail sites.
Nine retailers bumped up into the group of 30 with the fastest-loading web pages in the week of Jan. 14-20, as tracked by digital marketing analytics and privacy technology firm Evidon Inc. exclusively for Internet Retailer. Of them, BananaRepublic.com made the biggest move, jumping 37 places to spot No. 19 from No. 56 last week.
The nine new additions to the top 30 this week, with their ranks in the index for the week ending Jan. 20 followed by their ranks in the previous week and the change, were:
In most cases, the retailers were able to shave time off their page loads by reducing the number of third-party trackers—small pieces of software that measure clicks and impressions for advertisers or vendors—on their e-commerce sites. If trackers load slowly or with errors, they can make the whole page slow down.
Target Corp., for example, cut 37 third-party tracking tags from its home page since the previous index, which lowered its average page load time from 2.42 seconds to 2.22 seconds. "Target has been very forward-thinking in evaluating these kinds of metrics and their increase in performance is likely due to new strategies based on their analysis," says Andy Kahl, director of data analysis at Evidon.
Target declined to comment.
The average number of trackers on retailers' sites in the index was 86, down from 149 last week. The average page loading time was 3.02 seconds, down from 3.69 seconds last week.
The amount of content and tracking code loading on a web page isn't the only factor in a web site's page load time. Banana Republic, with the biggest week-over-week move up the index, is a case in point—the retailer cut just six trackers from its home page in that time, none of which was causing any significant slowdowns to begin with, Kahl says. "I'm not sure what should get the credit for [Banana Republic's] jump in performance," he says. "As a popular retailer, they might have been struggling to keep up with increased traffic during the holiday season." That suggests the uptick in performance could be a result of site traffic getting back to normal. More site visitors can lead to slower page load times for retailers that haven't allotted extra server space to handle the influx of data queries from consumers' computers and mobile devices.
Gap, parent company of Banana Republic, did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
The 30 fastest-loading sites in the index, with their average page load times and number of trackers, are:
Evidon Inc. tracks for Internet Retailer the average page load times of the web sites of the Top 50 retailers in the Top 500 Guide. As several of these retailers have several web sites—for example Gap also operates sites for brands like Old Navy and Banana Republic—the total number of sites tracked is 72. Evidon also tracks the number of third-party trackers deployed on each page and the average latency they cause in its load time. The data come from roughly 10 million consumers who use Evidon's Ghostery tool, a browser add-on that tells them which companies are tracking their online activity and for what purpose, and who have opted to participate in an anonymous panel to provide data about their site visits to Evidon.
The panel includes residents of more than 50 countries and users of every major browser—Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Opera and Safari, and Internet Explorer—with just under 5% of the data coming from two mobile platforms: Firefox users on the Android operating system and users of Evidon's Ghostery browser on the Apple operating system. Evidon collects the data hourly. Evidon averages the data for each web site over one week to provide periodic updates for Internet Retailer.

overwintering Sweet Potato Vine
Can you save a sweet potato vine tuber, like a bulb, over the winter? Has anyone ever done this? How? taterbug
these were ornamental sweet potato vines? Blackie or Marguerite or one of the others? How long had it been in the ground/pot? It takes a while for the plant to develop the tuber. I'm sure the roots would have led you to the tuber if there had been one. I have had them almost as big as the sweet potatoes in the grocery stores, except they are skinnier. They don't taste good, either. Stringy and kinda like eating paper. I know you weren't going to cook it, but save it over to plant late spring. Sorry this happened. Maybe next year buy your plants earlier so they have time to develop the tuber.
Thank you, eldo. Maybe the tuber was further down. All I know is when I dug up the plant there were roots. I did not think to keep looking. We had our first winter storm to arrive yesterday, so if the tubers are out there, it is too late now. Thanks again for your help. taterbug
Taterbug, It might not be too late. Do you have any of the vines growing in a somewhat protected spot under eaves or another plant? If so, clip the vines into 8=10" pieces (even if leaves have frosted) and stick in bottle of water on window ledge, I save mine this way, or stick in pot of soil...they root easily and will soon put out new leaves. josh
I heard you can save the roots the exact same way as the potato tuber....clip the foliage and put it all in ziploc with woodchips, but don't zip the bag. Stick it somewhere where it stays 40-50 degrees and is DARK. Sonmeone also suggested a cooler filled with barely moist peat or wood chips with a lid in the garage.I've never held one over and can't help, but that's what I read.
I am not finding the tuber either
I had 4 Marguerite and 4 Blackie in a big 24inch pot.
I dug the whole thing up and there were only roots.
I dug all the way to the bottom of the pot.
I purchased these mid-summer and assume they were growing since early summer in a nursery pot.
Wouldn't the tuber be close to the bottom of the stem with the roots growing to the bottom of the pot?
I was very dissapointed, was hoping to see these back again next year. I bought a trellis and had them running upwards all the way to the top of the trellis...filled it in quick nicely

We have a tour scheduled for this that includes going up in the cable car to the top at 15,000 ft....DH has a problem with high altitudes, so I believe we want to change this. I can't seem to find info about alternative ways to explore JDSM...apparently there are two meadows that are at lower altitudes that we could go hiking in (Yak and ?) Do you take a different cable car to reach those? Coming from Lijiang, are they farther to reach? I'm thinking maybe we just take in the Impressions show from the park to get the feef for the mountain.
Would we be missing a great experience if we don't take the cable car to the top? I've read that it's very crowded and you could wait in line for an hour to go up (we'd be going in the afternoon, which I guess is better). And, frankly, we've been on top of many mountains and generally are not that excited about bare rock and freezing, windy temps. But, perhaps the scenery from up there makes it worth it. Gotta love the name of the mountain though.
Lijiang: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain question

One very important point about visiting the JDSM is the weather. For the 3 full days that we were in Lijiang only for 1 of those days did we see the whole mountain. The rest of the time the summit was surrounded in clouds. We had plan a visit on our second day but it was clouded over so we axed the plan and did something else.
Note that the JDSM is a part of the Himalayas mountain with much higher altitudes than similar peaks in the US and Europe. I was quite fit when we visited Zhongdian (aka Shangrila) and the altitude was around 4,000 meters where our hotel was located. My family and I, inc our very young and fit daughter, had a lot of difficulties with breathing. In Lijiang we didn't have any problem but we didn't go hiking either. You might want to consider cancelling the hiking and just enjoy more leisure activities.

My DH and I have been to the JDSM peak Glacier Park around early November, over an hour drive from Lijiang old town, we had our parkas but bought a canister of oxygen. If your DH has altitude problems, suggest not going there if you have been to the top of other mountains, you are not missing a lot. Yak and Spruce Meadows are not that much lower and have to be accessed by another route of cable cars.
As Hanuman said, it depends on the weather, you won't see anything if the JDSM is shrouded by clouds. Do see the show, it is unique. Before the show site, you can stop at White Water River and Blue Moon Lake where there are yaks and large electric carts to take you around. There are other villages like Baisha with its murals that are very enjoyable to walk around without hiking.

Thanks Hanuman and Shanghainese,
I think we will skip the hike, especially since we won't have time to acclimate and DH doesn't want to use oxygen canisters. I was debating over which Impressions show to see....this one or Liu Sanjie in Yangshou. But, perhaps this one would be better so we at least could get a good view (hopefully) of the mountain...we'll be there at the end of October.
Has anyone seen the one in Yangshou to compare? I don't think we need to see both of them....or should we?
Report Abuse
See both if you have time, they are very different in setting and content. The Impressions show is in the daytime with the JDSM as the background, it depicts the lives of the many local minorities. Liu Sanjie is at night on the river all lit up against those amazing karst hills.

Thanks Shanghainese....I think I will see both as I already made arrangements for the Yangshou show....and I want to see JDSM.

We take guests up the mountain every week throughout the year.
Actually many guests are OK, at the top of the cable car, but some use oxygen to help adjust. Or come down.
BTW, even if it is cloudy in Lijiang and on the mountain, sometimes you get above the sea of clouds and about 95% of the time I go we see the glacier and tops of the mountains.
Is it worth it? Getting to the mountain is expensive with various fees, but if you are not inspired by being in the mountains, better to have your afternoon at Spruce Meadow and Blue Moon valley.
Alternatives are the spruce and yak meadows at lower altitudes.
The Spruce meadow is closer, and takes you to a nice area for viewing the mountain.
The Yak meadow is higher and further away. Fewer visitors.
Each has its own bus to the cable car and its own cable car.
The Impressions Lijiang show is worth viewing and most of our guests think it is great. You need to book in advance. And also as in outdoor arena, it depends on the weather. But from October to May it is usually clear and sunny.
Outside the busy holiday period we've never had to wait terribly long for the cable cars or buses.
Better off heading to spruce meadow and thereafter to the Blue Moon valley.

SEGA and Sonic step in (briefly) to protect endangered hedgehogs
Britain's beloved hedgehogs are in crisis. Some 50,000 hedgehogs die every year under the wheels of cars and trucks throughout the U.K. That high death rate has had a mighty toll on the cute little creatures: There are now 300,000 fewer hedgehogs in Britain than there were a decade ago.

Learn & Serve: 48: A Slum Experience Recap
This January, we once again held an intense slum experience that lasted 48 hours. In this blog post, Learn & Serve Interim Director Becca Griffin shares not only about this event, but also some background and statistics about urban slums to help us better understand how about one billion people in the world live.
Ecuador : Understanding Our Place in the World on MLK Weekend 2015
SIFAT's eighth annual 48: A Slum Experience was held on January 17-19, 2015. We attempted to befriend around one billion of our brothers and sisters around the world who live in urban slums today. We tried to walk in the shoes of people whose lives are worlds away from our own.
What is an urban slum? It is characterized by three things: overcrowding, improper housing and poor sanitation. These characteristics — when paired with challenges like dirty water, smoke inhalation, malnutrition from both hunger and hidden hunger, and a great swarm of violence for the vulnerable — create a web of perpetuated poverty. Slums are not specific to one part of the world, but for those living in the developing world, one in three will live in this context.
Hope In Christmas
Thank you for your support this year! We hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday surrounded by friends and family. Our office will be closed Dec. 24 – 25, and Jan. 1. We will have limited staff available Dec. 22 – Jan. 2. Remember, end-of-year donations must be postmarked by Dec. 31 to receive tax credit for 2014. Our co-founder Sarah Corson shares the following letter to help us all remember those who may be hurting this Christmas and the hope that we have because of Christ's birth!
Dear Friends,
I will never forget Christmas of 1958. Ken and I were newlyweds and were working in Cuba. We had decided to adopt Isabel, a little girl who needed a home. She had begged us to kill and roast Rosita, our little pet pig, because that was the Christmas custom of Cuban families who could afford it. She was thrilled when we agreed, because she had never had a roast pig at Christmas. I washed and set her hair that afternoon, and she helped me bake Christmas cookies for the traditional Cuban Christmas Eve meal at midnight…the hour they accepted as the birth of Christ.
Then in late afternoon, our world was shattered. Relatives came and took Isabel away, carrying her from our home kicking and screaming. That was the last time we saw her for 32 years. We lost our precious little daughter. Soon afterward, the local baker knocked at the door with helpers bringing back our whole roasted pig. I burst into tears anew. "Keno," I wailed. "I cannot eat a bite of this lechon! This was for Isabel. I don't want to even see it! Take it away!"
Ken told the baker to set it down on the table, where the platter filled the biggest part of the table. "Wait, Sarah," he told me and dashed out the door. Half an hour later, he returned with our car packed with people. He had brought a family with three children, whose father had left them sad and alone this Christmas. Ken went in the local bar and found a lone man trying to drink away his loneliness because his wife had left him. Ken looked for all the hurting people in our little village. As our home filled with hurting people, I had to dry my tears and try to help them have a good Christmas Eve supper. It became one of the happiest evenings we can remember…because all the hurting people tried to help the others who were hurting have a good Christmas. We sang Christmas carols. Ken read the Christmas story from the Bible. We shared and prayed together, and then at midnight, we all ate roast pig. All of us had a very special Christmas Eve, helping each other to overcome the tragedies in our lives.
God has made us so that we can help each other by sharing our pain. Somehow it does not hurt so much if we share it with someone who understands. It is a little of God's love channeled through one in pain to another.
#GivingTuesday is Back!
Last year, SIFAT received $108,080 in one day from donors during #GivingTuesday. Of that, $34,050 was matching funds provided by the Global Ministries of United Methodist Church. Overall, Advance projects raised $6.5 million on #GivingTuesday 2013! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who participated last year!
This year, you have the opportunity to give again on Dec. 2, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. The goal of #GivingTuesday is to give back to nonprofit organizations after all of the shopping that takes place on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Because of matching funds, you can double your gift!
Here are this year's rules for UMC #GivingTuesday:
Learn & Serve: Summer Experience 2014 Wrap-Up
This summer, 605 students and individuals — from 31 different churches throughout 9 states — attended our week-long Learn & Serve Summer Experience. They began each week living in our Global Village, picking food from the village garden and cooking foods more common to the 10 countries represented (Liberia, Uganda, Nigeria, India, the Philippines, Nepal, Cote d'Ivoire/The Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Bolivia and Guatemala).
Bolivia: Mt. Bethel UMC Men in Quesimpuco
Our last Bolivian team of the year is in Quesimpuco this week. Each year, Mt. Bethel UMC takes an all men's team to this remote area high in the Andes Mountains. John Moxley, a former team member, has received a few phone calls from the team and shared with friends and family what the team has been doing. In Quesimpuco, the only communication available is through a satellite phone or one phone at the town hall. There are no current pictures to accompany this post, but John has done a great job adding details from his personal experiences to explain what the team is experiencing.
Saturday Update
Yesterday went better than expected: a long drive, an enjoyable picnic beside a lake with flamingos, and most importantly: no problems! No flats, mechanical issues or overly bad road conditions. Given what they just drove through, this is an accomplishment. They arrived at about 9:15 p.m., and it is, indeed, a tiring drive. The last several hours are very off road, plus being in a car for 11+ hours is just no fun. However, the team had enough energy to unpack and have a devotional. While Carey did the first devo, each team member will have a turn this week. Additionally, Carey set the team up with a daily scripture to read and focus on. Our team is covered up with God's word, fellowship among themselves, and prayer from you. Great things are bound to happen!

Homeopathy for Digestive Complaints
Saturday, 01 May 2010 11:32By Jane Schantz, FNP
Homeopathy may be used at home to treat a variety of digestive complaints. Stomachache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can all be treated, regardless of the cause (infection, food poisoning, over-indulgence, etc.). Homeopathic remedies may be used alongside other home treatments and herbal remedies. As mentioned in previous GreenLeaf articles, having a homeopathy book or two is a must if you are going to use this safe and gentle system of healing (see recommendations at the end of this article). Based on the principle of "like cures like," these books will describe the specific symptoms for which a given remedy may be effective. There is no one, two or three homeopathic remedies for diarrhea, for example, there are many; the trick is to find the right one based on the symptoms being experienced.
Notice Your Neck While You Read This
Monday, 05 April 2010 07:43
By Mona Sulzman
A February 23 New York Times article, "Stand Up While You Read This," claims that prolonged sitting--at work, in the car, in front of the TV--not only sets you up for heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, and a shorter lifespan, but also cancels out the benefits of regular exercise. This did not surprise me. I know people who work out hard and frequently, sit ten or more hours a day at work, and fail to lose weight, lower blood pressure, or reduce stress. Modern sedentary life, despite its fitness mania, does not support wellbeing. But as an Alexander Technique Teacher, I also know that how you sit, stand, and move, which the article completely ignores, affects your health and lifestyle choices.
The article also makes no mention of musculoskeletal problems, although back pain is the leading cause of disability in Americans under 451 and prevents many people from sitting, standing, or walking comfortably, as well as from exercising. According to New York neurosurgeon Jack Stern, 85% of people with chronic back pain have this problem because of how they sit, stand, and move. Many people come to me for Alexander Technique lessons because they long to exercise, go for long walks, or get back to Yoga, but chronic back or joint pain, a result of how they have engaged in these activities and/or how they sit, prevents them from doing so. Once they relearn how to sit, stand, and move, they gradually increase physical activity.
Homeopathy: Like Cures Like
Monday, 01 March 2010 09:49
By Jane Schantz, FNP
It is common to hear the word "homeopathic" as a general term meaning "natural" or "herbal," but this is incorrect. "Homeopathy" refers to a specific practice of holistic health care with its own philosophy and methodology. The word comes from the Greek roots "homoios" and "pathos," meaning "similar suffering." This is a reference to the most basic tenet of homeopathy: like cures like. The symptoms caused by a substance will be cured by a homeopathic preparation of that substance. For example, homeopathically-prepared coffee is used to treat some kinds of insomnia. Homeopathic ipecac (formerly used in first aid kits to induce vomiting in cases of accidental poisoning) is used to stop vomiting.
Homeopathic medicines, commonly referred to as remedies, are made in homeopathic pharmacies according to precise methods. The result is an extremely dilute but potentized preparation of the original substance. (In fact, it is so dilute there may be no molecules of the original substance left, yet the essence of the substance is transmitted — but that's a whole topic in itself!) There are thousands of remedies available, most made from plant, animal and mineral sources.
