Health & Parenting
So Long, Soda...Hello, Fruit
Q: What diet-related health problems do you see most among older kids?
We've all read about skyrocketing rates of obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol in children and adolescents. I see plenty of proof of those alarming trends every day in my practice. But the most surprising thing I've noticed is the link between a bad diet and kids diagnosed with attention deficit disorder.
Recently, I had a mom come in with her 12-year-old son because the school told her that he has ADD. I started to take a medical history, and I asked what her son eats for breakfast. She said, "Usually sugary cereal, or sometimes we'll stop at Starbucks and he'll have a donut." Whether or not her son has an attention deficit problem, there's no way he can do his best work with a breakfast like that. So the mom made some adjustments. Getting up a half hour earlier to scramble some eggs and toast some bread was an effort. But her son managed to turn his performance around. Is he the best student in the class? No, but his teachers have noticed that he focuses better and is improving. A child's brain is developing even well into adolescence, and he needs the right kind of food to help it work its best.
Q: How can parents avoid getting their kids so hung up on food that they develop an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia?
In the past couple of decades, pediatricians have been so concerned about eating disorders that we've been afraid to talk too much about nutrition. But now I realize that we have to keep this worry in perspective. For every one child with an eating disorder I see in my practice, I have probably 1,000 kids who are unhealthy because they are overweight or obese. When you present good nutrition in a positive light-telling your kids that healthy foods will help them be the best they can be-you're not setting them up for a body image problem; instead, you're building confidence.

We are sorry to hear you have had a short period of disruption recently. It is true that some servers in one of our clusters were recently updated and this caused some dust for a couple of stores. We communicated this with you directly at the time and provided full support during this period. We understand you were frustrated by the lack of telephone support but as we told you at the time there was nothing to be added or discussed. Online support allows us to provide exceptional support to our users and prevents the vocal minority monopolising our support time by venting off steam. That is what these anonymous public forms are for! :)
If you do require actual support then feel free to get in touch with our friendly support team and they will be more than happy to help you. IF you prefer to vent then as you said there are competitors who will provide this service for much more £££££.

I wish I had come across this company months ago before paying out for an ecommerce package with another company that was absolute rubbish, I gave up with them in the end as was getting no where fast. Then I spent a few days trawling the net for easy webstore builders and tried out probably half a dozen free trials to see what they offered and they either turned out to have very high charges for anything over 5 products or 30 days use or just didn't have the facilities required.

I've looked around and compared many e-commerce solutions for our business. I must admit I was somewhat skeptical when something is free as I was looking for a hook or to have minimal functionality. Boy was I surprised. I am so impressed with Free Webstore as it offers me as much flexibility as I need and wanted. I upgraded (simply because we have almost 50 items to sell online) but well worth the minimal cost. Other similar sites would have cost me over $250.00 USD per year.

Cintiq 24HD RED RED RED
Dang, my new 24HD is really putting out red heavy colors.
I dont need the colors to be exact but I need it way closer than what it is.
I know its NOT the tablet itself, because webpages all look the same on the Cintiq as well as my Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display- so its definitely an adobe thing? Right?
I suppose what I want to do is find a way to eye ball match the colors of my Cintiq to the Thunderbolt Display or iPad.
Any advice?
(Mac Mini + Cintiq 24HD (plugged into the HD port on the mac mini) + Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display (Plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the mac mini)

Go to your color management settings in Adobe and make sure it's using the same profile as your web pages/OS.
You'll also want to get a monitor calibrator, like Spyder.

Sorta fixed. Thanks
Thanks Arshes.
You led me to try out a couple things one of which was to go to the Display Settings on my actual computer (not on the cintiq) and select the cintiq (which I didnt know you could do) and assign the Thunderbolt Profile from the drop down menu.
The color is still just a little dark but I think I can adjust that with the cintiq controls.
Its not perfect but way way better.
Thanks again
May 23rd, 2012 #4
Monitor profiles can be a serious pain in the butt. I'm glad you got it mostly figured out.
In addition to Arshes recommendation, Pantone makes a reasonable color calibration tool called Huey that not only calibrates your monitor but takes ambient light into account in your work area and automatically adjusts brightness and whatnot. You can check it out here. It works for Mac.

thanks Shiroboi.
Now that I got it close to my second display and after looking at my cintiq all morning I feel like I should use an actual calibrator, everything is a little off and now Im obsessing over all those slight variations- have you used that pantone guy? Pretty painless to use? Its not that I cant figure that stuff out- Im just super lazy and wish I could just push a couple buttons and be done (although thats never the case).
Thanks again for your replies!

I highly recommend a hardware calibrator. A few hundred bucks is worth it considering your colors will be accurate. It is easier to set up and more accurate than calibrating it manually in some system software preference or utility.

Update: so the Huey consistently gets around 4 out of 5 star reviews. Its a clever device that walks you through on screen calibration and can adjust for lighting changes. For what it's worth, it works much better than not having any calibration at all but if you require totally accurate colors, you may have to go with a hardware color reader like the Spyder.

Jesus Christ turned the tables over in His Father's House, and He said that His House would no longer be a den of thieves but a house of prayer.
Instead, many churches have become businesses with tax exemption.
Many countries are suffering great injustices toward the helpless and the innocent,
The churches are thriving in these countries, but the people are in great peril and persecution.
The churches are not praying in most cases or these countries would become righteous, and the suffering of the poor and innocent would be stopped.
The church as a whole is not using its awesome power of prayer.
We have been given all authority over the enemy Satan and our own flesh, but we have to activate our power through believing prayer.
Each week, churches all over the world are given the perfect opportunity to pray together in one accord.
There would need to be several prayer leaders who have the burdens to pray, and then all would agree with the prayer leaders.
One will put one thousand to flight and 2 ten thousand. How powerful would that be each week?
What love, unity, victory and peace that would bring into the churches.
We read in Jeremiah 23 and Ezekiel 34 that God will raise up a church in the last days that the gates of hell will not be able to prevail against.
What will be a sign of this last day church?
The ministers in the glorious last day church will care for that one soul. They will be willing to leave the 99 and go out and find the one soul that is in trouble.
The last day pastor will be like our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, and he will be will to lay down his life for one soul, just like Jesus Christ was willing to lay down His life for one soul.
How do we get from here to there? How do we get from a church that is carnal and like the Laodicians church to the glorious last day church?
It is through prayer. The prayer of the righteous availeth much.
However, when you have many righteous praying together, daily and weekly; it will transform the world.
It will change the Government, the people, the businesses and the morals of all of the socieites all over the world.
We must find leaders who will lead by example. Those who take on the role as servant, and those who will deny themselves, take up their crosses and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
The church and the Body of Christ has all of the power in heaven and earth given to us by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, the blood of the Lamb and the Word of God.
We pray and we move upward and outward from a position of 100% VICTORY.
Jesus Christ has already won for us everthing that we, our churches, our families, our nations need for a life of abundance, righteousness and success.
All we have to do is appropriate the total provision through heartfelt prayer and fasting as needed.
Right now, there are very viable Christian mean and women of integrity who would be good stewards in the high positions of our countries.
However, they cannot do the job without our prayers.
We must pray that God's men and women will be raised up in each country. Those men and women who will be good stewards of the authority that they have been given.
We must continue praying for them evern after they have come into power or they could be put in such a pressure cooker that they could cave.
We all need to pray that almighty God will raise up the prayer warriors, the churches of prayer and the men and women of God who have the boldness and courage to stand strong in these evil last days.
If our current churches become Houses of Prayer; there will be hope for the world.
The anti-Christ system can be thrwarted and all of the plans of Satn can be pushed back to Eden.
Satan has targeted the greatest and the best for destruction, but when the church prays; all of his evil deeds will be destroyed.
We need to pray that all of the evil deeds of darkness will be exposed and that Jesus will destroy all of the works of Satan as Jesus came and died to accomplish.
We need to have Godly men and women to be placed in the highest positions, but we also must understand that our battle is not with flesh and blood.
Our battles are with the power, principalities, rulers of darkness and wickedness in high places.
We can only combat these powers through
united prayer.
Wake up churches, and take your places to become Houses of Prayer.
I know for sure, that if the churches in America do not start praying, praying, praying; we will not have any churches where we can prayer.
Righteousness is needed for the effective prayer, and the church also need to repent so that The Lord can heal our land.
There is so much sin in the camp that needs to be purged throug solemn assembles to pray, fast and repent.
Then The Lord will be able to restore everything that the canker worm, caterpilla and locust have eaten.
The Lord want so badly to reware and restore His beloved people, but because of our carnal and Laodicean behaviors;The Lord's hands are tied.
Our loving, but just God cannot reward rebellion and sin.
We hear many messages of prosperity and the blessings of God, but always remember that every blessing is provisional and condition.
If my people…."humble themselves, pray, seek God's face and turn from our wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal our lands".
God's promises are based on our obedience, our devotion, our faith and our use of all that we have been given.
God rewards all that diligently seek Him. God's grace needs our response in obedience guided through our love for God.
We show and prove our love for God by our obedience to His commandments.
Do not be deceived. God is a God of grace and love, but He is also a God of justice and Truth.
My prayer for the church:
Dear Father,
I pray that your people will turn to You with all of our hearts, and we will become the House of Prayer.
Each Christian is a living stone being formed to come together and build the last day glorious church.
Please make all of us into the people after your own heart and a people that will please You, oh Lord.
Please raise up those with a spirit of Joshua, Caleb, Josiah, Jehu, and countless prayer warriors, and worshipper all over the world.
The world is about to get shaken and shaken and shaken and only what is founded on the rock of Jesus Christ will remain.
We pray that we will all be counted worthy to escape what is coming on the earth and be able to stand before the Son of Man.
We thank You Lord with all of our hearts for Your wonderful goodness and mercy. We thank you Father for sending Your Son to die for even one of us sinners. We pray tht You, Lord Jesus will receive all the honor and praise for your great and unspeakable sacrifice on the cross in Your Name and by Your blood and according to The Word of God. Amen, amen and amen.
All those who have made The Lord their refuge, their fortress and their everything will be saved. Those who endure to the end will be saved.
Those who work out their own salvation with fear and trembled will receive their reward.
This is not the time to go into apostacy as many churches, but this is the time to turn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with all of our hearts.
May all the churches throughout the world move upward and onward and may they all become glorious Houses of Prayer for all nations in Jesus Name!

Are You Still in The Faith?
Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
2 Corinthians 13:5
Are You Brave and Very Courageous?
Revelation 21:8
King James Version (KJV)
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Many years ago, a friend of my mother said to me that she refused to go through the tribulation. Since then, I have heard many other Christians saying similar things.
We, Christians of all people should have no fear of death. We overcome Satan by The Blood of The Lamb, The Word of our testimony, and we love "not" our lives unto the death.
This is the Scripture that tells us how to become "Overcomers".
Fear is our greatest enemy because it activates Satan's plan in our lives. If Satan can get you to fear what he can do to you; then he can manipulate you and even control your decisions.
Fear is a lack of faith and trust in the power of God. Fear comes when our faith is not strong.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Without faith; it is impossible to please God.
How do we attain faith? Faith is not only a fruit of The Holy Spirit, but it is also a gift of The Holy Spirit.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The Word of God or The Holy Bible.
When we read, listen to, and study God's Word our faith grows stronger and stronger.
The Word of God tells it like it is, but it also provides the redemptive side to our lives, our future and our work on this earth.
The Word of God provides faith, hope, wisdom, knowledge, anointing to teach, power to believe God, and it contains all the power of Jesus Christ inside of its words.
The world was formed by His Words spoken through the power of The Holy Spirit. It is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, sayest The Lord Jesus Christ.
Come to the River of Life, faith and Light. Come to The Word of God and find a regenerated faith and hope and love for God.
The enemy hates the Word of God, and he goes to any length to try and discredit it, and he has been trying to destroy it for centuries. However, it remains as strong and as powerful as ever.
We need it now more than ever before. Dust off your Bible, and jump into a sea of love, joy, peace and renewed faith.
I have The Bible in every form possible.
I love to listen to it on my electronic mp3 player, I love to hear it on youtube, I love to check out Scriptures throughout the day. It is like being resurrected spiritually.
How is your faith? Are you still in the beautiful arms of faith in our loving God through Jesus Christ and activated by The Holy Spirit?
If you have all kinds of fears and phobias; The Word of God can deliver you from them all.
Speak the Word of God that tells us that God did not give us a spirit of fear, timidity or cowardice, but He has given us a spirit of power, perfect love and a sound sharp clear mind.
Speak the words of life, and the words, deeds and thoughts that bring death, fear and doubt will vanish.
What we speak is crucial to our mental, physical and emotional health. The Word of God brings new life and vitality to our minds, our hearts and our bodies. It renews our immune system, and our ability to bear fruit for The Kingdom of God.
Ps 1:1a
Blessed is the man that walks not in the way of the ungodly……
But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law does he meditate day and night.
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his
leaf shall not wither, and whatsoever he does shall
shall prosper.
My prayer for You:
Dear Father God,
Please give all of Your children a love for Your Word and a love for The Truth. It is the Truth that sanctifies us and Your Word brings new life into our lives.
It refreshes our salvation, and it generates new trust in You. It is powerful and it is sharper than any two-edged sword.
It causes us to grow up into the image of Jesus Christ, just by absorbing it daily like the Israelite at the manna in the desert.
Thank You For Your Glorious Word.
May we come back to our first love for You and for Your Word in Jesus' mighty Name. Amen, amen and amen.

Why Do The Heathen Rage?
Psalm 2
King James Version (KJV)
2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
o person is above the law. The Constitution has never been legally changed. It is still in effect.
All of the illegal executive orders are worthless because they are all "unconstitutional". They are not worth the paper that they are written on.
I've been fighting these NWO mercenary terrorists for 9 years since moving to Regent Park/Glenn Ridge, Fort Mill, SC. I have learned how they operate, and I have learned the power of prayer, binding, loosing, and speaking out the truth.. The pen is far mightier than the sword. I joined to share what I know has worked over 9 years of daily attack.
These criminals have tried to ruin my work, my reputation, my property and to try and murder me. They are very covert and careful not to be caught and so they try and make their crimes completely unexplainable or like an accident.I know that these traitors are cowards. They go way out of their way to save their own skin, and yet they try every way to destroy a patriot or a law abiding citizen.
Their leader is a psychopath, and they use occult practices to try and enhance their evil forces. However, they have not been able to stop me or may work in 9 years because The Lord Jesus Christ is on my side. It must be very frustrating for these criminals.
Gideon in The Bible gathered 22,000 soldiers, but the Lord had only 300 good men selected, and Gideon was victorious.
God must be on your side in order to win any battle.
My prayer for the militia, the patriots and their loved ones.
Dear Father,
Please build a fiery and flaming hedge around all of the patriots going out to take back our land. Please apply Your Blood over their minds, hearts and bodies.
Please give them wisdom from You as to how to proceed. Please protect them from all harm, evil and temptations. Please give them supernatural boldness and courage in doing what is right and just.
Please bring our country back to our heritage because America was founded on Jesus Christ. Please restore our Constitution, Bill of rights and our Declaration of Independence. This country is of the people, for the people and the people are to rule in America in accordance with our Constitution, justice for all, freedom for all, the pursuit of happiness for all and not just for a few of the elite. We ask in love, unity and one accord in Jesus Christ's Name and all for His glory. Amen and amen.

Gideon, from the Hebrew word meaning hewer or feller, was the son of Joash, an Abiezrite (Judges 6:11), from the town of Ophrah in the Manasseh territory (see Tribal Lands) of Samaria, a short distance from Mount Gerizim (the view from the summit is seen in the photograph below). Also known as Jerub-baal (Judges 6:29, 32), Gideon was one of the series of Judges, or tribal leaders, whose story is substantially detailed in recorded Bible History (Judges chapters 6-8).
View From Mount Gerizim We first read of Gideon at a time when "the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of The Lord; and The Lord gave them into the hand of Midian seven years." (Judges 6:1 RSV). When the time of punishment was completed, The Angel of The Lord appeared to Gideon and said, "Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?" (Judges 6:14 RSV). With some reluctance, and a request for signs that God was truly with him, Gideon finally accepted his calling (Judges 6:17-22).
Gideon's first attack was somewhat modest; under cover of darkness, Gideon and ten of his servants destroyed the people's altar of Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole that had been erected beside it (Judges 6:25-27).
Using a Shofar, Gideon then mustered a force of 22,000 Israelites (Judges 6:34-35). Of that number, God had only three hundred selected (Judges 7:2-7) so that they would know that it was God who delivered them from the vastly larger force that had been troubling them. And so He did; the 300 Israelites obliterated an army of 120,000 Midianites (Judges 7:19-25, 8:10) and drove the invaders back beyond the Jordan.
The memory of this great victory is referred to a number of times in The Bible (1 Samuel 12:11; Psalm 83:11; Isaiah 9:4; 10:26; Hebrews 11:32). It was so complete that the Israelites had peace for 40 years afterward (Judges 8:28) – exceptional for the times.
Gideon died at a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of his fathers. Incredibly, soon after his death the Israelites again drifted back into idolatry and other degenerate behavior, a cycle that would last for centuries until their total defeat and exile, as God allowed – first the Kingdom of Israel (the "Lost Ten Tribes") in the north by the Assyrians in 721 B.C. (see Ancient Empires – Assyria), and then finally the Kingdom of Judah in the southern lands around Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. (see Ancient Empires – Babylon).
Fact Finder: Is Gideon referred to as a man of faith in the New Testament?
Hebrews 11:32-33
Jesus: The Whistleblower
Jesus: The Whistleblower Margaret (Peggy Henderson) Kannaday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feHbP4k_tdk Jesus was not only our Savior, our Lord, and the King of the Universe, but He was also a whistle blower. Whistle blowers are brave, and they want to expose the evil deeds of darkness and the hypocrites in the Body of Christ. They want to work the work of The Lord in destroying "all" of the works of Satan. Whistle blowers are "not" wimps. They are mighty men and women of valor as Jesus Christ was when He overturned the tables of The "Den of Thieves" who were using His Father's House to make money. Jesus spoke out against the "Religious" leaders continually. He called them vipers, wolves in sheep's clothing, whitewashed sepulchers, and He said that they will travel over the ocean in order to make one proselyte and then make them twice the son of hell as they are. Today, we are living in similar times. People giving themselves high sounding titles have infiltrated our churches, schools, and every type of ministry. These people are the rogue or shadow Christians. They do not walk in the Light of Jesus Christ. "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" (Matthew 7:15). "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (Matthew 23:33). Why did Jesus blow the whistle on these reprobates? He knew their hearts. He saw their motives in everything that they did. Jesus was totally pure and holy, and He only did what His Father showed Him to do. He didn't have a self-centered bone in His body. He saw right through the hearts of the leaders who were stalking him, harassing Him and lying about Him continually. All those who have the same heart, mind and Spirit of Jesus Christ, and who desire to follow Him completely, and to live a righteous life; will be persecuted by those who are doing their own thing under the pretense of following Jesus. You will know them by their fruit. Jesus was a target individual. The perpetrators stalked Him, and tried to get Him to say something that they could use against Him. They followed Him; not because they loved Him, but because they wanted to destroy Him. They wanted to kill Him before His time to die, but they were unsuccessful. Only when the proper time came were these criminals allowed to stir up the people against Jesus in order to have Him crucified. All of these things were a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Jesus knew what He would suffer, and He surrendered all for the sake of even one human being. Today, the people who are called "whistleblowers" are being gang stalked, harassed, fired, shunned, and in some cases they are murdered, and it is made to look like an accident or suicide. These are very courageous people who desire to speak the Truth in love even if it means horrible consequences to them, their family, their friends and their work. That is why it is so refreshing to hear countless whistle blowers speaking out the truth through the alternative media sources. They know the risk, but they care more about The Truth. Jesus Christ "is" The Truth, The Way and The Life. I do not like the term whistleblower to describe a person who speaks the Truth regardless of the consequences. Let's start calling those who are exposing all of the evil deeds of darkness, Truth Bearers. Let's call those who desire to do the Lord Jesus' work of destroying all of the works of Satan as Overcomers of evil. Let's all be exposers of the evil deeds of darkness and also Christians who desire to destroy all of the works of Satan. These are our duties and the commandments from our Lord Jesus Christ. Dear Father, Your people are speaking out the Truth in America despite the fact that they know they will be attacked by the mercenaries, the anti-Christ factions and the minions of Lucifer and Satan. Thank You Lord for these people, and I pray that their numbers will increase exponentially to the glory of God in Jesus' Name. Please protect these Christians, heal them, and deliver them from the false prophets, false teachers, false, apostles, false Christian leaders of every kind, and the hypocrites. Please raise up Your mighty standard in America against those who only desire to demoralize, and destroy our beloved country. Please bless all those who stand up for the Truth in Jesus' all-powerful Name, amen and amen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feHbP4k_tdk Peggy Henderson Kannaday has been the Managing Editor for "Church Growth International' for 22 years.
