Kelsey Deford - Board Member
My husband, Ryan and I have a four year old year old son in the Willow classroom. We attended an open house when we were considering preschool options and were really impressed by the staff and school. I love that the childrens' independence is encouraged here. Logan really looks forward to days that he gets to go to school. We also have a two year old daughter, Zoey that will attend MSGL. I've enjoyed helping out in the classroom when my work schedule allows.Ryan and I are from the Lafayette area. I grew up south of Lafayette near Stockwell and Ryan grew up near Rossville. I am a Senior Accountant at the Purdue Research Foundation in the Purdue Research Park. West Lafayette is a great community! I'm excited to meet more members of MSGL and do our part to help make this a great place for children to learn and grow.

MARK KEOHANE, in his Business Day column, writes that one rule seems to apply for Johan Goosen and another for Elton Jantjies.
Jantjies will be back in the transfer market after his Super Rugby commitments with the Stormers and my advice to him would be to get the hell out of Cape Town.
Jantjies is a darn good flyhalf. He is just 22 and one of South Africa's most exciting talents. He is an investment and he has already played big games, the biggest of which was his 40 minutes against the world champion All Blacks in South Africa last year.
Yet so many are treating him like a kid who has never done anything and who needs to do it in 80 minutes to get another chance.
The media around Jantjies in the past week was shocking, short sighted and prejudiced. It will be explained and justified as passionate supporters and rugby media in the Cape refusing to accept second best.
I don't buy that. The supporters and media have only known second best in the history of Stormers rugby.
Jantjies missed four penalties against the Bulls in the season opener – a match in which the Stormers forwards took a beating.
Jantjies was blamed for the defeat. He was deemed not good enough, defensively and as a goal kicker, and the kicking was given to Joe Pietersen, who promptly banged over the first kick from the corner.
The Stormers coaching staff made all the right noises about backing Jantjies in the build-up to the visit to Durban and then promptly pulled the player after 52 minutes.
Peter Grant replaced Jantjies and the former's qualities of stability and Super Rugby experience were backed to break a 3-all deadlock in Durban.
Jantjies had created the only try-scoring chance in the first half with a perfectly weighted cross kick to Gio Aplon who knocked on the ball.
A similar moment, be it through a clever kick, a break, a step or something magical, as Jantjies did regularly for the Lions, could have won the match for the Stormers, but the coaching staff showed no trust in the genius of the young Bok.
Grant, who spends his year between Cape Town and Japan and is only available for Super Rugby doesn't add the attacking dimension of Jantjies, whose career would be better served playing for coaches and in a region that values his natural game.
The Stormers are a team that plays low risk and defence orientated rugby. It makes them difficult to beat but it does not make them unbeatable.
Given the attitude towards Jantjies and the rush to revert to what is safe but has never translated to success in Grant should be a red flag to Stormers supporters that this season will again be one in which the hope will be greater than the conviction of championship glory.
Humidity in Durban and Brisbane always make for testing encounters in February and March. Teams struggle with ball control and it is difficult to play with attacking confidence.
I wasn't surprised with the nature of the contest in Durban and I wasn't surprised with the result. It was always going to be tough for the Sharks but it was a game they couldn't afford to lose, regardless that it was this early in the tournament.
John Plumtree, when I interviewed him pre the tournament, said to win the competition a team had to start well and finish well. The Sharks, with an away victory and a home win against the Stormers, have started well. Winning against the Stormers was very necessary in the context of gaining an edge in the South African Conference.
The Sharks composure was impressive, especially scrumhalf Cobus Reinach. He will be a Springbok sooner rather than later as he is the best scrumhalf in South Africa. Francois Hougaard is a better athlete and definitely a better winger but he isn't as good a scrumhalf.
Hougaard struggled against the Force and he is playing with the strain of issues greater than rugby; he recently lost a good friend in Reeva Steenkamp. He deserves empathy and not rugby ridicule.
The Bulls clearly underestimated the Force and were fortunate to win and get a bonus point, but the men from Pretoria will be more miss than hit on their overseas trip.
The Cheetahs were given a second half lesson in Hamilton and Johan Goosen's goalkickng was as poor as it was a week ago. It was equally inconsistent against Australia and New Zealand in 2012.
Goosen's misses don't evoke quite the vitriol that accompanies a Jantjies miss and the Cheetahs taking a beating somehow never is deemed an embarrassment to South Africa rugby.
There are so many (myself included) willing Goosen to succeed. I just wish there were as many who gave Jantjies similar support, starting with his coach.

NuGEN invests in larger state of the art facility while recruiting new research team to prepare for entry into NGS market
New RNA-Seq kit debuts by year end
San Carlos, Calif.—October 13, 2009—NuGEN Technologies, Inc., an innovator in genomic sample preparation, makes a dramatic entry into the next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications market with the strategic addition of a team of experts in NGS, the opening of a new Seattle research facility, and — by year's end — the launch of a simplified sample preparation kit capable of working from reduced starting material for next-generation RNA-Seq.
As part of a comprehensive plan, NuGEN will move its main facility in San Carlos to a larger state-of-the-art building. Both this and the Seattle facility open in November. Together with the newly formed Seattle research lab, NuGEN will continue to expand their existing technology portfolio to include breakthrough applications in the NGS market.
NuGEN's entry into the market will facilitate the NGS revolution by providing researchers with the ability to convert a broader range of starting material types into sequencing libraries while streamlining the sample preparation workflow.
"Our commercial success to date allows us to make a significant investment in establishing a strong presence in the high-growth NGS market," said Elizabeth Hutt, NuGEN Chief Executive Officer. "Part of that investment is the recruitment of a team of new scientists, led by Dr. Christopher Raymond, formerly of Rosetta Inpharmatics LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merck & Co. Inc."
The new team enables NuGEN to expand its expertise in NGS applications. While at Merck, Dr. Raymond and his team developed novel technologies for whole transcriptome molecular profiling, targeted genome re-sequencing, and follow-on laboratory validation of NGS computational analysis. Dr. Raymond's significant contributions to the genomics field include 35 publications and 27 patents and patent applications.
"NuGEN shares our desire to develop cutting-edge capabilities for front-end sample preparation and downstream sequence validation," Dr. Raymond said. "We are excited to see that NuGEN is already on the fast track to deliver its first RNA-Seq sample-preparation product by the end of the year. We plan to add many more products for NGS in the near future."
It's an important step for NuGEN, CEO Hutt said. "Our existing customers have come to us for sample preparation solutions as they move to these platforms. Adding Dr. Raymond and his team to NuGEN will enable the entire life science community to benefit from their emerging advances."

Yoga has touched my life.
We all know that Yoga is highly beneficial for the mind, body, and soul. It reduces stress, anxiety, illness,and injuries. Most of us treat ourselves with this wonderful Yogi Method but do we treat our children? Children are constantly going through changes through mind, body, and soul and sometimes it takes its toll. Growing pains set in, hormones change on a daily basis, and the stress the world puts on them in their daily lives can sometimes be too much.
My name is Shani and I would like to share a story with you. It's about my younger sister with ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome, a high functioning form of Autism. First let me give you a little background about myself. I am a 23 year old woman balancing college, a job, and my own illnesses. I suffer from Scoliosis, Interstitial Cystitis, and daily amounts of stress while I juggle my life. I do yoga on a regular basis to aid in my back therapy, alignment, posture, muscle tenderness, and my sanity. My mother is a single mother taking care of our grandparents and a child with autism. Now I would like to tell you a little bit about my sister, Savannah.
Savannah is 12 years old and has a hard time controlling her body, facial expressions, and emotions at times. She is highly intelligent and excels beyond her peers in some subjects while falling dangerously low in others. English is her strength but she struggles with handwriting. Math is her weakness. When it comes to sitting down and learning Math or doing homework it is usually approached in a negative way. Her eyebrows scrunch up, her eyes start darting at other things to do anything but look at the numbers on her page, and her attitude skyrockets into unstable premises; agitation, over sensitivity, and sometimes aggression. Once she begins her math it's an ongoing roller coaster to get through five problems that would be simple for you or me. She copies her problem onto the paper, this takes time as her handwriting skills are weak due to her sensory issues. She begins adding her numbers and puts down the wrong answer. "Savannah," I say, "You're really close but about two numbers off. Let's count 289 plus 30 again together and double check the answer." Her eyes get wide, and her brow wrinkles more. The first sound out of her mouth is, "Whaaaat??? I did it?!" "I know but lets just check your answer to make sure there are no mistakes,"I reply. The pencil flies across the room and the papers fall to the floor. She is in full tears screaming and crying and frantically flailing around. "I hate this! I hate this! I don't want to do this anymore!" She screams. The rest of the evening she is emotionally distraught and no homework is completed. She cries for three hours.
It's not always this bad but sometime during the assignment this response happens more often than not. This isn't her fault. Her patience is hard for her to grasp and she honestly does not understand why she is being tormented like this. I decide to try something different. The next day, preparing for her assignment, I suggest we do something fun before we begin. She is fully aware of the assignment she has to do. "Want to try yoga, Savannah?" I ask. "um, ok." She replies, unsure. She knows she would rather do another option than her homework at the time. So whatever prolonges it is ok with her. I walk her through 20 minutes of breathing exercises and light stretches. We practice inhaling deeply and exhaling completely, even controlled breaths. She gets the blood moving into her joints and relaxes her mind. After the 20 minute session I ask her if she is ready to begin her homework task. She replies in a calm voice, "Ok, I think I can try it." And we begin her assignment. We are slow and careful with what we write and how we count. We count together and sometimes make mistakes and check our answer. Two times she comes inches away from another temper tantrum but I remind her of the breathing exercises we did previously and she pauses and practices them. WIthin 45 minutes we have completed her math homework and checked our answers to make sure they are correct. She flops onto her back with a big sigh and says, "YES! Thank goodness it's over!" I tell her what a good job she did and we have a nice snack downstairs to make up for the brain work. Then she is free to play outside for an hour before dark.
Even though Savannah has sensory issues, attention issues, and the seemingly inability to stay calm; she was still able to remember what we practiced in yoga and applied it to the homework situation. She calmed her nerves, mind, body, and spirit before tackling the task at hand and was fully aware that she was about to indulge in her least favorite topic. When we were completed with our warm up of the body and got the blood properly flowing and carrying oxygen to the proper places, the back aligned and joints lubricated; she was ready to face her challenge. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked and we made it a routine. Now she looks forward to our practices, getting a bit longer each day, and has the confidence and patience to get through her most challenging tasks. Yoga has helped her face her challenges head on.
Not only has she benefited from yoga for school but she also practices the patience she learns with her peers outside. When she starts to lose control of her facial expressions, her hands, and the other kids start picking on her; she reminds herself to breathe and clear her mind to properly deal with her challenge. Yoga has touched her life and mine and I hope that it will touch yours, your children's, and your student's.

By dead reckoning, an iPhone and a nearly 3-year-old guide dog, Trevor Thomas is making his way across North Carolina as the first blind person to solo self-navigate the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
Thomas was hiking through the heat of Pamlico County Wednesday with Tennille, his black lab guide dog. He hiked through New Bern and Bridgeton Tuesday.
The hike along the 1,000-mile trail is to bring awareness of the abilities that blind people have and to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind, which can make a big difference in a blind person's life and where he got Tennille.
Thomas, 44, lost his sight because of a rare eye disease when he was 35. He began hiking after he went blind and has been doing it professionally along with motivational speaking for the past five years. In 2005, 15 months after he become blind, he hiked the Appalachian Trail.
But on April 6, Thomas started on the MST Trail from Clingmans Dome in the Smoky Mountains in the snow. The following 45 days, it rained every day, he said.
"I kept hiking along," he said "It was cold longer than it should have been. One day, I was shivering while having lunch, and then a day later, it was 85 degrees and scorching hot."
The weather suddenly turned hot as Thomas reached the Greensboro watershed area, he said.
"Then we got hit by the remnants of the tropical storm (Andrea) a few days ago," he said. "That was a lot of fun."
At night, Thomas and Tennille camp in the yards of friends who are called "trail angel friends" because they support people hiking the MST Trail. He also stays at campgrounds and occasionally hotels. But he'd rather camp, he said.
"I've stayed in just about every North Carolina park there is," he said. "Parks departments are wonderful to me."
Everything he needs to survive is on his back, including Tennille's dog food. The full 52-pound pack includes water and dehydrated meals. He averages hiking about 18 miles per day.
Thomas said if he gets good weather, he should end his trek in Jockey's Ridge on the Outer Banks in about 10 days.
"Anything can happen," he said. "The heat can slow us down or maybe a hurricane will come."
A hurricane is about the only thing he hasn't run into yet, Thomas said with a laugh.
Every day, Thomas encounters obstacles navigating the trail. In the mountains, the trail was not well marked, which caused him to spend longer than necessary at some intersections to figure out the right way to do.
The roads and interstates also have been challenging, he said.
"I have to really pay attention to what they are doing and what we are doing," Thomas said.
Thomas doesn't use GPS and relies on old school navigation. By knowing his cadence and by keeping track of time, he can figure out the distance to his next maker. He uses emails sent from a supporter who downloads the MST trail from a guide book to give him directions. Also Tennille finds signs for him, he said.
"It's a team effort," Thomas said.
People who have met Thomas and Tennille along the trail have all been supportive, Thomas said.
"Once they get over the shock," he said. "Whenever I've hiked, people I have met in all the towns I've been in are just phenomenal, supportive and generous. I couldn't be more pleased."
Thomas said people used to shout support from their cars while passing. But after all the publicity of the hike, they are now asking about Tennille, he said.
"They want to know how Tennille is doing," Thomas said. "I'm kind of forgotten."
Thomas said it was not hard for people to recognize him as the blind hiker.
"We stick out like a sore thumb," he said. "You don't see too many people walking down the side of the road with a backpack holding a harness on a guide dog."
It has been a challenging trek, but one with many benefits, Thomas said.
"This is probably the most rewarding long trail I have done so far," he said. "It has given me an opportunity to challenge myself and my abilities and the abilities of my guide. It also is proving to people who have misconceptions about blind people that they are simply incorrect."
Thomas said hopefully he was also helping people by raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Jeff Judin, who is following Thomas and documenting his hike across the state, said he was in awe of what he has accomplished.
"This is one story that really needs to be told," Judin said. "Trevor has overcome so many obstacles. The more people see and understand the challenges he has overcome, the better it is for them. It is amazing that along the way people would stop and talk to him and get so inspired."
Thomas has a way of explaining blindness and being comfortable with it and doesn't see it as a disability, Judin said.
"Since I met him, I have learned how to deal with issues," Judin said. "He overcame them through sensors developing information I guess we all have but don't know how to use. I would take directions from him before any traffic cop."
Judin said he was also in awe of Thomas' attitude toward life.
"He is a shining example of a human being with a spirit that can't be beat," Judin said.
Thomas, who is being sponsored by Thorlo, a sock manufacturer in Statesville, said if anyone wishes to donate to Guide Dogs for the Blind, they could go to www.blindhikertrevorthomas.com. People can also follow his progress on the website.

When the M. Wells Dinette, which recently opened inside MoMA (The Museum of Modern Art) PS1 in Queens, announced plans to add horse meat to its menu, New Yorkers did not take it lying down. In fact, animal lovers all over the nation joined the ASPCA in speaking out against the idea—and we're thrilled to share the news that the restaurant's owners have graciously agreed to keep horse meat off the menu…permanently.
"We are thrilled that the outpouring of concern and outrage coupled with startling health concerns about the toxicity of horse meat won the day, and the M. Wells Dinette decided to step away from this idea," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations.
A national poll conducted earlier this year showed that 80% of American voters oppose the slaughter of U.S. horses for human consumption—and that sentiment was certainly borne out over the past week in New York City, where the M. Wells story ignited a firestorm of media coverage as well as hundreds of letters and phone calls directly to MoMA's offices.
The ASPCA urges all Americans to contact their federal legislators in support of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, which would prohibit the sale and transport of horses for slaughter in the United States, as well as across the border to Canada and Mexico. Passage of this critical legislation would end the current export and slaughter of approximately 100,000 American horses each year.

I against that darn thing!!!!!!!!! It s sooo much animal cruelty!!! No reason to do that to sell meats to feed!!!! It s very gross to abuse it!!!!!!! I m animal lover!!!!!!!!!
WTF. What's next dog meat, or snake meat or donkie ? Stupid people I'm sure the so called French cuisine. Thinking its a high end place so why not.! Wrong you idiots . Ha ha go back to
Paris and then maybe you can serve oysters for what I care about your cuisine and country yuk!
I'm stunned that people would even want to eat horse meat (sounds rather disgusting to me) and I'm glad that people rebelled against the idea. I've heard that in some countries they do eat horse meat but just because you can, doesn't mean that you should!

JON CARDINELLI writes that the Springboks – for the first time in ages – successfully mixed brutal defence with scything attack. It's a cocktail that will become more potent in the months to come.
What a difference a multi-skilled flyhalf makes. Johan Goosen, in his first start for the Boks, turned in a thrilling display at Loftus Versfeld.
The plaudits will be shared with a Bok pack that pummeled the Wallabies into submission, as well as with Ruan Pienaar, who shouldered much of the kicking responsibilities (for goal and tactical). But for option-taking, execution and innovation… there isn't a superlative that does Goosen justice.
When last did we have reason to feel excited about a Bok team, and here I'm talking about playing style, not just the ability to grind out ugly wins consistently?
The game plan at Loftus wasn't very different to what we've already witnessed in 2012. What did make all the difference was that the man starting at No 10 was able to use that forward platform to bring his backline into the game.
There have been some clinical forward performances this season, but none as complete as what was on show in Pretoria. The Bok lineout troubled that of the Wallabies, with Eben Etzebeth affecting several steals and Andries Bekker banking possession on the Boks ball.
The Boks won the collisions and this forced Wallabies playmakers like Kurtley Beale to play well behind the advantage line. At times the Wallabies crabbed across the field, and at other times they went backwards in search of space.
There was always a Bok forward flying up, looking to smother a would-be Aussie attacker. And on top of that, there was the threat of Duane Vermeulen and Francois Louw.
Vermeulen and Louw affected some important breakdown turnovers. Louw in particular was successful in slowing the Wallabies' ruck recycle to the point where the visitors battled for any significant attacking momentum. It was one of Louw's finest performances in a Bok shirt.
This all translated into the perfect platform for Pienaar and Goosen, and the Bok halfback pairing didn't waste this opportunity.
It wasn't perfect – the Boks did leave a few tries on the park – but it was the intent, the ease with which men line Goosen cut the Wallabies' line, that made Saturday's performance so exciting to watch.
Suddenly men like Bryan Habana were in the game a lot more. Jean de Villiers was an attacking threat in that inside centre channel, and this too will go down as one of his more balanced showings.
The Boks scored two great tries in the first half, and looked to have created a third with De Villiers and Goosen combining to set up Zane Kirchner. It took a kamikaze-style tackle by Adam Ashley-Cooper to deny Kirchner his second try, a valiant effort that unfortunately forced Ashley-Cooper to leave the field.
As the Bok forwards began to enjoy more momentum, they began to look for the offload. Rarely have the Boks played with such confidence. Sometimes the offloads came off, and sometimes the Wallabies managed to spoil effectively and kill the go-forward.
I'm not suggesting it was the perfect debut for Goosen. He missed his first two shots at goal and subsequently surrendered the kicking duties.
There were examples of Goosen taking the wrong option on attack, but then that was to be expected of a 20-year-old in his first Test start. Overall, it was an encouraging performance by a player who, as he so emphatically stated at Loftus, has the ability to bring balance to the Boks.
Habana's run-away try in the 61st minute put the result beyond doubt, and also banked a four-try bonus point. Again, this should serve as a marker, a sign that the Bok attack have progressed. From the stagnant side that struggled against Argentina in Cape Town to the complete package that thumped the Wallabies in Pretoria – it's been quite a leap.
The quality of opposition was poor at Loftus, but give credit where it is due.
And rejoice. The evolution of the Bok playing pattern has finally begun.
By Jon Cardinelli, at Loftus Versfeld

Pou Hits Three Bombs as Falcon Baseball Out Slugs #29 Mars Hill 19-15
March 9, 2010
MARS HILL, N.C. - Pfeiffer and No. 29-ranked Mars Hill went back and forth in an offensive shootout on Tuesday at Henderson Field, but the Falcons prevailed over the Lions 19-15 as Zack Pou (Stanley, N.C.) had a 5-for-6 day with three home runs, one a grand slam, and seven RBI. Pfeiffer improves to 11-13 overall. Mars Hill drops to 11-6 overall. The two teams combined for 34 runs and 40 hits in the game.
Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, N.C.) belted a three-run homerun in the top of the first inning to get the slugfest underway. Rusty Smith (Leesburg, Va.) hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the inning to cut the deficit to one run.
The Falcons scored four runs in the next inning, highlighted by a two-run bomb by Pou to center field.
The Lions erupted for seven runs in the bottom of the inning to take a two-run lead. The half inning was highlighted by a three-run jack by Smith, his second of the game.
In the third inning, Mars Hill stretched its advantage to 13-7. Smith, South Atlantic Conference Player of the Week Devin Presnell (Boone, N.C.), Adam Lewis (MacClenny, Fla.) and Kris Torrance (P. Jefferson Station, N.Y.) all had one RBI in the inning.

Influence to Impact: How Ministry Can Be Done in the Marketplace
Is it possible to do ministry while working in the marketplace? We may say yes but do we really believe it? I don't think I did at first. Deep down many of us think the only way we can do God's work is through being employed in vocational ministry or doing volunteer work on the side. We don't see the opportunity for ministry God has given us in our work. Join Betsy Nichols as she discusses her story of ministry to the marketplace and how we can all do God's work in a significant ways from within the working world.
Betsy Nichols is a catalyst at heart.
In each season of her life, Betsy inspires change makers to make a difference. Right now she does that through an organization called Symbolist, an employee engagement firm. She is also an avid communicator, speaking for companies, associations and non-profits. Betsy also serves as a member of the teaching team at Irving Bible Church, where she previously served as the Young Adult Catalyst. Betsy is a graduate of Texas A&M University (Whoop!) and received her Master's in Christian Education from Dallas Theological Seminary. When she is not working, you will most likely find her running, reading, traveling, or around a table with new and old friends. If you'd like to chat with Betsy or talk to her about a speaking opportunity, send her an email.
Sexual Issues in the Church
Whether we are youthful or more mature, whether we are single or married, there are sexual matters that we cannot ignore. We are "fearfully and wonderfully made"—God designed us as sexual beings with purpose. His idea, His creation, for His glory and our benefit. Yet, sexual disorder and distortion get more attention than His beauty and his gift. There is great sexual woundedness in our churches. As women coming alongside women, Debby address how we can help women become sexually whole, heal from past wounds, address current struggles, and live free of guilt and shame attached to our sexuality.
Debby Wade , LPC, LMFT, CST, founded Authentic Christian Therapeutic Solutions in Grapevine in 1999. At ACTSolutions, she works with adults, adolescents, couples and families, and offers play therapy for children. She offers a sexual integrity group for women who struggle with sexual integrity issues, and addiction to pornography. She co-facilitates (with Billy Grammer) a sexual integrity group for men who struggle with sexual addiction and pornography addiction. She also offers a therapy group for women who have been betrayed due to affairs and sexual addiction. Most recently she has developed Back to the BASEX: Beyond the Birds and the Bees, a program for educating, equipping, and empowering parents on how to talk to children and teens about sex and sexuality from a biblically based approach.
Debby has been married to Ryan for 21 years. They attend and serve at 121 Community Church in Grapevine.
Trip Advisors – Departing From Error, Arriving at Truth, Proven Ways To Study the Bible Together
"There are many roads to god, not one." FALSE! There is only one road to Truth, and that is found by studying God's Word. Whether you study one-on-one, as a small group or in front of a large crowd, there are tried and true methods of preparation for teachers. What basic tools do we need, what pitfalls are we to avoid along the way? How do we make it applicable to life journeys of the women we teach?

Discipleship through Recovery: The Healing Path from Brokenness to Wholeness
Jesus is committed to our freedom, to recapturing our hearts and transforming the most ingrained coping patterns in our lives—whether addiction, co-dependency, insecurity, perfectionism, or anger. He commissions us into His work of healing and growth in others, even when we are still very much in process. What are some steps to walk through a healing path? What is our role and God's role? And how does God use the messy process, our failures and feelings of being overwhelmed to accomplish His purposes in restoring lives?
Liz Burley serves as the women's director for Re:generation at Watermark Community Church in Dallas, a ministry that helps people find recovery in Christ when life is broken. Her journey has led her to live and work in several US cities and internationally in Croatia and Egypt. Liz loves the diversity of cultures and expressions of the kingdom in the world and through women from all walks of life. Her desire is to live the story and help others live the story of redemption and courageous love through trusting Jesus to make himself famous as he brings beauty and wholeness from our mess and brokenness. Liz is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and has worked in management consulting and several ministries, including Cru, Pioneers, and local churches. She enjoys hosting old and new friends for a good meal and conversation around the table as well as exploring interesting places in cities.
Diversity – from Fear to Fun!
A Pakistani family moved in next door. How do I relate? I've signed up to serve on a mission team next summer. What should I know before I go? My friend is serving in Mongolia. She's overwhelmed. How can I empathize with and encourage her? The challenges of diverse cultures impact our lives from many directions. Come explore ways to engage those challenges and get a taste of why the investment is so worthwhile!

Caring for the Mentally Ill in the Church
That person for whom extra grace is required. You know her. Somehow she never quite fits in our ministry or our social circles. She is socially awkward. Her needs and demands take more time and energy than everyone else's. Periodically, she will isolate at home. It seems she doesn't have other places or people to turn to for help.
With nearly 25 percent of our population struggling with a mental illness, most of us personally know these individuals and many of us struggle with appropriate ministry to them. We will look at various options and dream together about a preferred future.
Michelle Attar says her greatest joy comes when God gives her the opportunity to be an influencer in the transformation of people from bondage to sin to surrender and freedom in Christ. She also loves taking a vision and implementing it. She originally started a career in wholesale and retail sales and account management, but God changed her course and exposed her to the non-profit world. Michelle volunteered in various non-profit leadership positions and then joined the staff of Bent Tree Bible Fellowship over 14 years ago. At Bent Tree, she has served in staff leadership roles in women's ministry, spiritual growth, and community and now serves as community pastor for Carrollton and The Colony. With 30 years of experience in leadership, ministry, and service, Michelle continues to explore solutions to address the needs of people. She is married to Mike for 28 years, mom to a cocker spaniel, Mitzi, and enemy of Mike's Lovebird, Kuzu. Michelle has served on the board of the Association of Women in Ministry Professionals for the past three years and currently serves as president.
Write to Expand Your Ministry
You've done your research, developed your content, and delivered your messages. But your content can reach a wider audience if you publish it—whether on a blog, online, or in print. In "Write to Expand Your Ministry," you'll learn the steps to writing for publication. Our time together will include tips for blogging, how to pitch an idea to an editor, suggestions for crafting a book proposal, pros and cons of self-publishing, and most of all how to write stronger prose.
Dr. Sandra Glahn is associate professor in Media Arts and Worship at Dallas Theological Seminary, and she is also editor-in-chief of the Seminary's award-winning magazine, Kindred Spirit. Sandra and her husband of thirty-four years experienced a decade of infertility and pregnancy loss before the adoption of their daughter. Consequently, a number of Sandra's eighteen books relate to bioethics, sexuality, and reproductive technologies. Her coauthored works include Sexual Intimacy in Marriage (Kregel)—which has sold more than 200,000 copies; three medical suspense novels, a book on Christianity and contraception; two books on infertility; and two of her Coffee Cup Bible studies (AMG).
A frequent conference and retreat speaker, Sandra's ministries have taken her on multiple trips to Mexico, Canada, and Belarus, and additional travels to Australia, Jordan, Italy, France, England, Russia, Germany, Greece, Kenya, and Israel.
Developing Christian Character in the Next Generation
Obedience, honesty, responsibility, endurance, patience—children are not automatically born with these desired character traits; they have to be taught and learned. How do we actually communicate the importance of these lessons to young people? All of us have heard the verse, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6), but training requires discipline, teaching, and practice. How can we develop intentional ministries for young people that focus on character training? This workshop gives individuals in children and youth ministry ideas for instilling Biblical character traits into the next generation.
Dr. Shailendra Thomas has served in Christian ministry for three decades, as a nursery director, deaconess, women's ministry leader, and conference speaker. Her experience in education extends over 25 years, serving as elementary school teacher, instructional specialist, educational consultant and adjunct college professor, to Principal at Fellowship Christian Academy and Regional Accreditation Commissioner for the Association of Christian Schools International.
Shailendra enjoys serving and encouraging women by teaching Biblical truths. She led the women's ministry at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship for several years and was instrumental in the development of discipleship programs, retreats, and bible studies for women. She has ministered to women of various cultures and denominations on topics such as marriage, parenting, and spiritual growth at conferences and seminars throughout the Metroplex. Shailendra received her doctoral degree in educational leadership in 2010 and currently serves as Head of School at Scofield Christian School. Her primary ministry is to her husband of thirty-three years, Richard, three grown daughters, Lorren, Hillary, and Chelsea, and one grandson, Landon Blake.
Organic Mentoring: A Mentor's Guide to Quality Relationships with Next Generation Women
Young women hunger for mentoring, but did you know that their dropout rate in traditional mentoring programs is as high as eighty percent in the first six months? Mentoring methods and styles that worked for older generations don't work today. The formal, structured, curriculum-centered, mentor-centered approach favored by many older women do not appeal to younger women (Gen Exers and Millennials). They crave a more organic, natural connection, and, surprisingly, as older women discover this new approach, their excuses not to mentor will vanish. The spiritual futures of generations of young women are at risk unless older women learn to love, understand, guide, and walk with them. We need a mentoring revolution and this workshop will show you how!
Dr. Sue Edwards has over 35 years experience as a Bible teacher, overseer of ministries to women (at Irving Bible Church and Prestonwood Baptist Church), and author. Now, as associate professor of Educational Ministries and Leadership specializing in ministry with women, she teaches full-time at Dallas Theological Seminary, where she equips men and women for future ministry all over the world. She has trained women leaders in Russia, Africa, and Germany. Sue is the co-author of five books: Leading Women Who Wound; Mixed Ministry, Working Together as Brothers and Sisters in an Oversexed Society; New Doors in Ministry to Women; Women's Retreats; and Organic Mentoring, A Mentor's Guide to Relationships with Next Generation Women.
Women everywhere enjoy learning the Scriptures using her Bible studies, the Discover Together Series. Married for 42 years, she and David are the proud parents of two married daughters and the grandparents of five. David is a retired computer engineer who serves the Lord as a lay prison chaplain and is now taking courses at DTS. She's available at Facebook.com/discovertogetherseries
Lunch Discussion Groups
Lunch groups are an additional opportunity at the conference to dialogue and network with other women! These informal groups gathering during the lunch break and provide an intimate setting for getting to know one another, sharing ideas, and collaborating.
Please note: You will not need to register for a lunch group.
Lunch groups will function a bit differently this year. Rather than having a variety of sessions/rooms assigned upon registration, we will have more informal breakout groups (that you choose yourself!) with provided materials to guide the discussion.
We will also provide a room and facilitator to walk through these questions if you would like a more structured environment. This room will still function in small discussion groups, but it is an opportunity to participate if you're coming on your own or would like to connect with other ladies and engage the material.

Roanoke graduate accepted by Teach for America program
SALEM, Va. - Christina Perry, a December 2009 graduate of Roanoke College, has been accepted into the Teach For America program. She has been assigned to the organization's Atlanta corps and will teach special education students at Forest Park High School in Forest Park, Ga.
Teach For America is a national organization that works to end educational inequity. Recent college graduates from all backgrounds and career interests are recruited to teach for two years in low-performing urban and rural public schools. The TFA application process for prospective teachers is rigorous, and fewer than ten percent of the more than 46,000 applicants were accepted this year.
A political science major, Perry was active as a tutor and office assistant in the College's Upward Bound program. This federally funded college preparatory program targets low-income high school students, and Perry says that her participation caused her to "seriously reflect" on her interest in education policy.
"I believe that each child in America should be afforded an effective and nurturing education, as such is the cornerstone to civic action and community revitalization," Perry says. "Thus, I chose to put my graduate school ambitions on hold and apply to the corps."
Upward Bound Program Director Theresa Jackson thinks Perry is well-suited to her new role and says, "Christina really has a heart to work with youth...I think that the [Upward Bound] kids found her to be very helpful to them."
Perry, of Roanoke, currently is undergoing training in Atlanta and will begin her classroom duties in August. After she fulfills her two-year teaching commitment, she plans to attend policy school and law school. Perry says that her ultimate goal is to work in the policy side of community development.
Roanoke College, an independent, co-educational, four-year liberal arts college in Salem, Virginia, combines firsthand learning with valuable personal connections in a classic, undergraduate setting. Roanoke prepares students for their futures through its commitment to providing a true classic college experience. Roanoke is one of just 280 colleges nationwide with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious honor society. The Princeton Review names Roanoke as one of the "best in the Southeast."For additional information, call the Roanoke College Public Relations Office at (540) 375-2282.

Reflections on the Revised Common Lectionary, Cycle C
The readings for February include the final Sundays of Epiphany and the first Sundays of Lent, linked by the pivot of Ash Wednesday.
The narrative of Luke offers a challenge to this threefold affirmation. The tempter seeks to talk Jesus out of his security and his vocation by offering other fake modes of well-being. In Luke 4:10 the tempter quotes from our psalm as a way of seduction. But Jesus refuses the offer. (In the reprise of the same story in Matthew 4:11, the angels of Psalm 91 minister to Jesus, just as promised.)

Easter Breakout
- Posted by alex
- 28 March 2013
We're taking the next few days off and heading out on some Easter Breakouts.
Chris is running the mountain ridges and forests of the Nantlle valley from Waunfawr to Beddgelert in north Wales.
Hazel is heading down Whitesands with a her parent and surfboards to brave the cold and score some waves.
Naomi is hoping for surf too - dipping in at Freshwater West for a deserted early morning surf in the West corner. Out for a hot brew and lunch. Back in early evening after a blood warming, coastal walk. And then a night around the woodstove, recounting the day's adventures and laughs.
Emma is off with family to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims and walking some of the North Downs Way.
Ade will be running his favourite local trail; a 10 mile loop up and down small valleys with river crossings, pine forest and twisting single track.
Alex is conquering the Preseili's on the road bike (and hoping not to need a rain jacket).
Jules will be strolling along the beach at Llangrannog with her dog "Juno" and chatting to people from different walks of life.
While Tom will be fixing freezing and burst pipes on his Caddy in hopes to get out further afield.
Let us know what you're getting up to on your Easter Breakouts.

Im new to the practice. I dont have a teacher that I can question. I practice following my breath in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. I have been practicing for less than a year. One morning right after my sitting meditation I felt something in my head. It felt like something was unraveling and then a squirting occured. There was no pain but I froze when it happened because it was so unusual. I have since noticed a "shimmering" quality to my vision. Its as if there is more light but it shimmers- not rays. This shimmering is an all day thing. I havent found any information about this and I am wondering what it is, what it signifies, what importance it has if any. Is every meditators vision like this? Does it stay like this? What exactly causes it to be this way? Also objects seem to be more crisp in my field of vision.
its hard to find buddhists in the bible belt so any information will be much appreciated.

Services and Procedures
The goal at the Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Center is to help you attain the results you desire.
Our specialists are highly trained, board certified surgeons with extensive experience in facial and cosmetic surgery. Their highly developed skills are complemented by a deep commitment to their work and a personal touch for every patient.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
The Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Center at Mass. Eye and Ear offers blepharoplasty, an eyelid surgery that can restore a healthy and youthful appearance, with a firmer and more attractive eye area. Read More.
Botox can improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and "crow's feet" at the outside corners of the eyes. It can also create a smoother appearance to the skin surface by preventing muscle contraction. Read More.
Brow (Forehead) Lift
The brow and forehead are often the first facial areas to show signs of aging, showing frown lines, wrinkles across the forehead, deep furrows between the eyes, and a droopiness of the brows and upper lids. Brow lifts, also known as forehead lifts – often combined with upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and/or a mini facelift – can rejuvenate your look. Read More.
Chemical Peel
The Chemical peel is used to improve the skin's appearance by applying a chemical solution which causes the damaged outer layers of skin to "blister" and eventually peel off. They can diminish skin discoloration, such as sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, or blotchiness. Read More.
Chin Augmentation and Reduction
Chin surgery can significantly alter a patient's profile which, in turn, can greatly improve facial symmetry and contour. Most chin surgeries can be performed under local anesthesia; more complicated cases may be performed under general anesthesia in the operating room. Read More.
Earlobe Repair
Your ears are one of the most visible parts of your body and can often require cosmetic repair. Some people simply wish to have old holes closed, which may have been torn or misplaced when piercing. While others may want to change the shape of their earlobes. Read More.
Hair Restoration Surgery
Hair loss is a common condition that affects both men and women, and can involve a receding hair line, balding in the crown region, overall thinning, loss of eyebrow hair, or traumatic hair loss from scars or skin cancer resections. Hair restoration surgery is a permanent solution that redistributes your own hair from the back of your scalp to the areas that need increased coverage. Read More.
Laser Procedures
The Carolyn and Peter Lynch Center for Laser and Reconstructive Surgery was made possible by the generosity of the Lynch family. Mass. Eye and Ear recently celebrated the dedication of the new interdisciplinary center that will change the lives of individuals with facial deformities. Read More.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin-freshening technique that helps repair damaged facial skin. A dermatologic surgeon uses a device like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin (epidermis). As with other rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to reduce or remove fine wrinkles, unwanted pigmentation and acne scarring. Read More.
Mini Facelift
The mini facelift has an age-diminishing effect, making patient look younger, rested, and more energized. Facial rejuvenation is achieved by repositioning the skin on the lower face to eliminate sagging and droopiness. The mini facelift is safer than a full facelift and does not require general anesthesia (although general anesthesia is available upon request). Read More.
Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping)
Otoplasty is ear surgery designed to pin back protruding ears, or to reduce the size of large ears so that they are in better proportion to the rest of the face. Otoplasty can also correct ear deformities from misshapen, damaged or missing ear elements.
Absence or major malformation of the ear is called microtia, which can also be treated at Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Center. Read More.
Perlane is an injectable cosmetic dermal filler used for severe wrinkles, facial folds (nasolabial folds), lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring.
Perlane is made from stabilized hyaluronic acid gel which easily adjusts and molds to the facial contours. The hyaluronic acid augments the body's natural supply, which becomes depleted with age. Read More.
Radiesse is a popular wrinkle filler made from calcium hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Radiesse can replenish volume and smooth out smile and frown lines, as well as shape and contour the face. As well as restoring volume, Radiesse restores volume and promotes the growth of the body's own collagen, to provide lasting, but not permanent augmentation. Read More.
Restylane is a natural cosmetic filler consisting of hyaluronic acid which adheres to the skin as the water contained in the acid helps to retain volume under the skin's surface. The acid acts as a magnet for water, which helps to preserve the renewed volume of the skin.
Restylane is injected under wrinkles and age lines of the face such as the nasolabial folds, "crow's feet" at the corners of the eyes, forehead wrinkles, and lines around the mouth. It may also be used for filling age-related hollows and "orbital troughs" (around the eyes) or lip augmentation. Read More.
There are two basic types of rhinoplasty, open and closed. In an open rhinoplasty an inconspicuous incision is made in the skin below the tip of the nose that separates the nostrils (columella). A closed rhinoplasty uses an intranasal approach with incisions inside the nostrils. If the nasal structure is weak, a small piece of cartilage or bone may be used to build up the structure. Read More.
Scar Revision
When the skin is in the process of recovering from an injury, whether the result of an accident, surgery, a burn, or acne, scarring will occur whenever multiple layers of the skin have been affected. Once a scar forms, it is permanent but may be made less visible, relocated surgically, or minimized in its prominence. Read More.

Network: TNT
Episodes: 39 (hour)
Seasons: Three
TV show dates: July 9, 2012 — March 17, 2015
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: Eric McCormack, Rachael Leigh Cook, Arjay Smith, Kelly Rowan, and LeVar Burton.
TV show description:
This TV show revolves around Doctor Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack), an eccentric and brilliant neuroscience professor. Unfortunately, his mind is also damaged and he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.
Pierce struggles with hallucinations and paranoid delusions brought on by his schizophrenia. Oddly though, he considers some of his hallucinations to be a gift. They occasionally allow him to make connections that his conscious mind can't yet process. At other times, the hallucinations become Pierce's greatest curse, leading him to behave in irrational, potentially dangerous ways.
Still, he's recruited by FBI agent Kate Moretti (Rachael Leigh Cook) to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works. He also has an uncanny ability to see patterns and can look past people's conscious emotions to see what lies beneath. Kate is Pierce's former student and, unlike her colleagues, she's willing to look past his peculiarities.
Pierce's mental condition and offbeat manner make it difficult for him to achieve the close friendships and intimate relationships he craves.
Those close to him include Max Lewicki (Arjay Smith), his teaching assistant. Max's primary job is to keep Pierce in line and on task, whether that means grading midterms or laying out his boss' wardrobe for the day. Natalie Vincent (Kelly Rowan) is Pierce's best friend and every bit his intellectual equal. Paul Haley (LeVar Burton) is the dean at Pierce's university and one of his few friends.
Pierce is in his element when solving an intricate puzzle or a coded message. But in unfamiliar situations, he can quickly become overwhelmed, and only his favorite music and a crossword puzzle have the power to make things right again.
Series Finale
Episode #39 — Run
When Moretti goes missing the day of her wedding, Pierce and Donnie set off in pursuit of the runaway bride. They soon learn that Kate has been abducted by a dangerous person from Pierce's own past. Pierce and Donnie risk everything to save Moretti before it's too late.
