Today's Sweet
The other day, while walking by Place des Vosges I couldn't help but to stop for a little sugary treat at Carette. The raspberry tart is one of my absolute favourite pastries in Paris and I always seem to come back to it! But it's actually quite fun to try the same kind of pastry from different places because everyone makes it in their own way. This one from Carette was really lovely with a hint of lavender.
Gone With the Wind
I'm in love with the display windows at Louis Vuitton. Aren't they just amazing?
My Essentials
What do I carry in my bag when I stroll the Parisian streets? Well, what you see above is usually the things I pack before leaving the house. My favourite wallet, calendar (I don't like having my calendar in my phone…), lipgloss (you never know who you'll run into), cell phone, mini brush (I hate my hair tangled!), tissues, a pocket mirror with my name engraved (which was a sweet little present from one of my closest friends back home that I always like to carry with me as a little memory), bobby pins and lactose tablets. And of course my camera.
(Update: Since I've gotten a lot of questions regarding the bag itself I'll just tell you here. It's the model "Garden Party" by Hermès)
French Vocabulary
While I'm out on a very exciting photo job for a client (which includes being able to shoot inside this three starred Michelin restaurant, ehiiii!) I'll let you practice a little bit of French. Hope you all have had a great weekend!
Signs of Spring
It's been an amazing weekend here in Paris! Warmer temperatures (well, at least if you stand really still in the sun) and a lot of blue skies and sunshine. It almost feels like spring is on its way! And if we're lucky, that might be true. Here's a couple of signs of spring:
When you look up and only see blue, beautiful skies!
When people start to line up at the ice cream stands.
When people stroll, job and rollerblade along the Seine during Sundays in the sun.
When the first flowers are starting to bloom. This was the same bush just a couple of days ago!
When street musicians are playing in the streets and people actually stop and listen for a while.
When people start gathering along the border of the Seine.
And my favourite sign of them all; when I finally make my way down to the Seine and can sit there for hours, just to enjoying the sun. My favourite place during spring and summer!
On Instagram
My last couple of days through a couple of Instagram photos. You can find me under the name "ParisInFourMonths"!
Weekend Reading
If you want a bit of weekend reading (or perhaps I should call it "surfing") this Saturday, here are my suggestions:
• The blog M.A.S Fashion did a little interview with me a while ago and now it's finally published, you can find it here. Thank you so much Mary!
• Even though I'm as far away as you could possibly be from getting married I really enjoyed this super cute "multi interview" with a bunch of different expats by Expat Edna about weddings abroad.
• New York fashion week is over but I can't get some of the shows out of my mind. Ann Street Studio captured the Marchesa show so beautifully and through Oscar PR Girl you can enjoy the Oscar de la Renta show over and over again.
• I love these photos of beautiful Meg with her special someone by Jean-Laurent Gaudy. Photos of couples usually look so staged but these really managed to capture true feelings!
• I loved the latest post on the HiP Paris blog "I Know I'm in Paris When…" by Claire Oldman.
• When you live in Paris many people seem to think that it's all pink clouds but sometimes it can be a pain in the *ss as well. I loved the recent post Grace wrote about the sacrifices she had to make to be able to come here and that it isn't a perfect dream every single day.
My Valentine
I must say that even though Valentine's Day may be considered as a commercial trick I really enjoy this day. It's nice to see a little bit of extra love around the city! Beautiful flowers, cheesy boutique décors, pretty heart-shaped pastries and little bit of red and pink everywhere. I use this day to think about my loved ones, but I also see it as an excuse to indulge in my favourite pleasures and spoil myself a little bit more than usual. Why not? And who doesn't need that every now and then?
I meet up with adorable Grace for a Valentine's date at my favourite restaurant Les Cocottes. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. If I could I would literally live in this place. Oh yes, that would be my dream! The shredded lettuce hearts with crab and the langoustine ravioli were my choices for the day, together with my favourite white wine. Now I'm getting too hungry just thinking about it. Dammit, I have to go back now…
But of course we couldn't stop there. Hello?! Dessert was missing of course! Hot chocolate and tons of ice cream at Berthillon was the perfect ending to our day together.
We had such an amazing day; great food, yummy desserts and so much laughter. I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's date! Even though this was my first Valentine's alone in a long long time I really enjoyed myself, with a bunch of my favourite things. And really, could you ask for a better Valentine's date than Paris?
Today's Detail
Dressed in all red. Just in time for Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day, I hope you all have a wonderful day today!

St. Francis College is a small college located in downtown Brooklyn close to the bridge. Compared to other private colleges it is much more affordable and the academics are good; of course some areas are better than others as with every school. The accessibility is excellent; there are so many trains to take to get here and for the most part all the people here are very professional.Read More
Small enough to feel comfortable when talking to staff & etc., in a great location, and recognized nationally for our programs and overall experience.Read More
It can seem everyone is pretty much caught up in their daily work because it's a commuter school but to really enjoy your time there, be active in the school activities. This is a great school for students who are looking to major in accounting, any type of education, and psychology. Professors are easy to reach, which is a plus when school can already be busy, let alone trying to track down a professor.Read More
St. Francis College is a small college located in Brooklyn Heights. I love the small environment it provides for the students. All the department chairperson or even deans are easily assessable and are very helpful.Read More
St Francis is a great school with a small intimate feel. Its in a great location with so much to do and see very close by. Because it's such a small school it's easy to meet and connect with many great people both students and non-students and you really get the attention you deserve from faculty!Read More
Being a Terrier is amazing because we have caring professors,great staff, tons of activities and giveaways for students, services and areas that no other colleges provides and the food the cafeteria has is amazing! If you haven't heard of us athletic-wise, our Water Polo team is in the finals, as well as the Women's Basketball team and our Men's Basketball team;our soccer team won the championship. Saint Francis College gives you room for growth in many area; they even offer a guitar class- in case you're looking for a college that'll help you serenade someoneRead More
Saint Francis College overall has is pros and cons. I enjoy my time at St. Francis because of the time I spend in activities and clubs which help promote the college in a positive light.Read More
Saint francis is a great place for someone to attend if you want a small, and I mean small college. Because of its size, you get small classrooms and teachers that really make an effort to accommodate you. On the downside, if you are looking for a real college experience, do not expect to find it here. It's a commuter school so most kids leave right after school.Read More

(Akahata is published by the Communist Party of Japan) Japan's real GDP growth rate fell at an annual rate of 12.7 percent in the 4th quarter of 2008. Its total exports fell at the sharpest pace on record. Capital investment and personal consumption also declined.
Meanwhile, real U.S. growth has shrunk 3.8 percent. The EU also experienced a minus growth of 5.7 percent. Japan's falling economic growth is far worse than that of the U.S. and the E.U.
An economist said, 'The current policy of boosting the economy by expanding exports at the expense of domestic demand is causing a rapid economic downturn.'
The so-called 'structural reform' policy promoted by the LDP -Komei government has destroyed the foundations of people's livelihoods and deregulated a series of labor laws in conformity with the financial circles' strategy of increasing unstable employment throughout Japan. To further ease the corporate share of public burdens, the government has forced the public to pay an extra 13 trillion yen a year in taxes and to accept cutbacks in social welfare programs.
However, that is not to say that Japan's business circles had confidence in what the 'structural reform' policy would bring about. Several years ago, Okuda Hiroshi, then chairman of the Japan Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) and Toyota Motor Corp, confessed that '(if domestic demand falls), the kind of talk of an 'export-oriented nation' will appear again, but the business world has been doing a lot of thinking about it.'
Although the U.S. financial situation had begun showing ominous signs last summer, Present Chairman of Nippon Keidanren and President of Canon Inc Mitarai Fujio said, 'Continuing with the 'export-oriented nation' path is the only way.'
However, the 'export-oriented nation' argument collapsed easily in the wake of the rapid downturn in the U.S. and the E.U. economies. With such leading companies of Japan's business sector as Canon Inc and Toyota Motor Corp in the lead, Japanese large exporting companies are dismissing temporary and fixed-term contract workers at an accelerated pace and shifting their losses onto sub- or sub-sub contractors. The business world that had forced ordinary people to bear the pain of its failures is putting further burdens on the public.
The government should immediately stop the business community from arrogantly throwing people's livelihoods and the country's economy into a vicious circle. The need is for the government to thoroughly amend the worn-out policy of making money from exports or foreign demand at the expense of the household economy.
(Akahata is published by the Communist Party of Japan) Japan's real GDP growth rate fell at an annual rate of 12.7 percent in the 4th quarter of 2008. Its total exports fell at the sharpest pace on record. Capital investment and personal consumption also declined.

Indias gross domestic product (GDP) growth recovery will help in increasing tax revenues and capital inflows, but high fiscal deficit and inflation numbers presented limited chances of an upward revision in the countrys sovereign ratings, global ratings agency Moodys said in a report on Wednesday.
Indias macroeconomic outlook will improve if, as we expect, the authorities implement policies that ease inflationary pressures and increase infrastructure invest- ment, Moodys said. Nonetheless, we forecast Indias fiscal, inflation and infrastructure metrics to remain weaker than the median for similarly rated peers, it said.
The comments come days after the government released the first quarter GDP growth numbers at 5.7%, the highest in nine quarters, and the current account deficit at 1.7% of GDP, compared with a CAD of 4.8% for the first quarter of FY14. Finance minister Arun Jaitley has stuck to the FY15 fiscal deficit target of 4.1% of GDP set by his predecessor P Chidambaram.

Sunny Beach Holidays
Bigger is better
Set on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, Sunny Beach is a real big gun of a holiday resort. This modern, purpose-built resort is the country's biggest and it really packs in the nightlife. You'll find this place brim-full of clubs, hotels and restaurants. It also comes with a whopping 8-kilometre beach and easy access to Bulgaria's biggest waterpark.
Blue Flag beach
This long, wide stretch is a Blue Flag winner. Golden sands shelve gently into the sea, making it safe territory for pint-sized paddlers. You've got rows of sunbeds and parasols for rent, as well as plenty of free areas where you can roll your mat out. And the cafés and kiosks along the front will see you right for ice-cream.
Action-packed days and nights
Your days at Sunny Beach can be as jam-packed as you like. Choose from watersports, beach volleyball, tennis and horseriding. You've also got 2 top waterparks, along with a couple of diddy ones for younger kids. And evenings here don't get any quieter – that's when this party town comes alive, with the bars pumping out everything from traditional Bulgarian folk to hardcore dance music.
Day trips to Nessebar
If you fancy a change from clubs and waterparks, head to Nessebar – less than 15 minutes away. Here you've got an ancient town that's chock-a-block with Roman fortresses and Byzantine churches. The setting, on a peninsula, is pretty special, too. You can make a day of it by having lunch at one of the seafront fish restaurants, followed up with a sail around the harbour.

"Life in Ningbo" Top 5 Page for this destination Ningbo by drencrom
Ningbo Travel Guide: 40 reviews and 61 photos
I've lived in Ningbo since April 2004. Ningbo is a nice city, for China. Lots of trees, and the city isn't too large and isn't too small. There aren't too many tourist attractions. Good shopping, though foreigners sometimes have a problem finding large sizes. Ningbo is a working city, so most locals are in bed by 10pm. That doesn't mean there's no nightlife, but there's not the thriving scene that cities like Shanghai have.
- Pros:Cheap, good food
- Cons:Closes early, not much culture
- In a nutshell:It's only four hours from Shanghai!

The Jokers Are Wild in Clubs: Comics Brighten Local Nightlife
Butters, Patrick, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
With his dimpled, Chip Douglas good looks and authentic referee's stripes, Jeff Menkin stands confidently before his captive audience on the small stage in Alexandria's Fun Factory.
A whistle dangling from his neck, he peers into the dark, seeking suggestions for the next round of action in ComedySportz, an improvisation show in which two teams of comedians battle for laughs using suggestions from the audience. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, and the audience gets to go home.
"I need a place you would not want to take a first date!" he announces.
"Uh . . . ComedySportz!" someone calls out hesitantly.
Mr. Menkin doesn't miss a beat. "Thank you to the single man who's sitting with the couple at the table over there," he replies. Even the victim has to laugh.
Yes, Virginia - and Maryland and Washington - there is comedy in this area, from the competitive, audience-participation fun of ComedySportz to the national acts that come to the District's Improv to the biting political satire of Gross National Product.
"They're an interesting breed," says Improv manager John Xereas, rubbing his chin and smiling. "There's sort of a dementia about them. A lot of them are very personally closed off people, but yet they can get in front of hundreds of people and speak their minds.
"For a lot of them, it's almost therapy."
Seeing comedy live differs completely from watching it on cable or video, and stand-up comedians will tell you that. That's why many TV comedians seem so unfunny.
"You have to be in there, in the crowd, watching their delivery," says lanky local comedian Bobby Singfield. "Watch someone on cable, and they're talking to other people in the room.
"And laughter is contagious. It would be like going to the Improv and looking in the window. You kind of feel like an outsider. You've got to be there when they make fun of the guy next to you."
Most cities aren't thick with comedy clubs the way they were in the 1980s, but Washington has a smattering that can fill up the weekend. And more often than not, it's the out-of-town comedians who want to carry on about Bill Clinton, the Redskins or Marion Barry.
"Comics love to come here, especially the ones that are more on the clever, witty side, because people get their jokes," Mr. Xereas says.
* * *
Jerry Terlitzky ambles about Fun Factory, his half-glasses dangling from a string around his neck. His two teams of comedians are in the parking lot, psyching themselves up for the 8:15 p.m. performance of ComedySportz.
All of the actors' caricatures are posted in the back of the room. The Red Team's Bob Garman, a dead ringer for Dana Carvey, steps out beforehand to play a shell game with two girls in the front row.
"This is covert," he says as they giggle. "I'm not allowed to be here."
Behind the stage is a faux brick wall lined with hooks holding various costumes the performers will don for the competition. Suddenly, the comedians burst out from the back room, screaming like banshees, getting in people's faces and leaping around the room like Senate pages.
Mary Lou Massey walks around with a catatonic stare, holding a sign that says simply, "Blank Stares." Harry Stone shoves a huge sandwich in his mouth, screaming as the remnants spill out, "Anybody want some?"
At the sound of the whistle, the seven comedians scamper to their places on each side of the stage. (A "designated jokester," in this case the hilarious Ceci Stephens, switches sides when either team performs, giving each team a total of four comics.)
"Mr. Ref" then explains his coaching signals to "tonight's loyal fanz"
* A circular motion with his index finger means "delay of game" (i.e., if either team is stuck on a scene and must pick up the action). …

On the same morning that Katie Couric was twinkling and giggling over Al Gore in some flowery garden, her co-host Matt Lauer took another senator from Tennessee to task: Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Near the end of the interview, Lauer pressed Frist on how "critics" say his choice of legislative issues coming up shows he's "pandering to the conservative base" for a potential presidential campaign:

"Alright let me move on briefly for a second. The House has approved a constitutional amendment to make flag burning illegal and passed a bill to crack down on the practice of minors traveling across state borders to seek an abortion to avoid restrictions in their own state. You've said the Senate will look at those things this year as well as a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Now critics have said there's no chance that any of those things are going to pass and they go a step further and say you are pandering to the conservative base preparing for a run for the presidency in 2008. How do you respond?"

Frist, in a very even-toned politician's way said they would be addressing important priorities. But Lauer protested: "But in bringing those issues up if, if there's very little chance of them being passed are you, in fact, pandering to the conservative base?"

This is not the kind of interview Hillary Clinton receives on NBC. Al Gore certainly wasn't asked by Couric if he was merely pandering to his left-wing environmental-extremist base with ideas that have no chance of passing in the current Congress. Earlier, Lauer also suggested that prosecuting terror operatives can be a waste of the taxpayer's dime:

"Let me ask you about this Osama Bin Laden audiotape, the third he's released this year. And in it he says that Zacarias Moussaoui the only man the U.S. has prosecuted in connection with the 9/11 attacks had absolutely nothing to do with the plot. In your mind is it possible that the U.S. has wasted a lot of time and money on Moussaoui?"

Matt Lauer Presses Bill Frist: Aren't You Just Pandering to Conservatives?

The lady behind the lens, Ashley Upchurch, said everything about this wedding reminded her of a little girl's fairytale. And quite frankly, I couldn't agree more. Each and every moment has "storybook" written all over it (helloooo, floral arch!) and with vendors like Angela Mazanti and Bella Figura, it comes as no surprise. Get comfy and find your wedding planning happy place right this way.
From Ashley Upchurch…Stephen and Kristy were married on a crisp October day at a private estate in Memphis, TN where they exchanged vows underneath a breathtaking floral arch. The bride wore a lovely Rivini gown that paired beautifully with her orchid-draping bouquet made by Angela Mazanti. Guests were provided with individually wrapped fleece blankets to keep warm during the ceremony and were entertained by a bagpiper as they entered the reception. Everything about their wedding reminded me of a little girl's fairytale wedding!

The Law of The Harvest has been in effect since the time of creation to The Holy Bible.
However, when most of us think of the concept of reaping what we sow, we usually think of it in the negative sense. These laws are also positive, very positive, and stand as a promise of blessing for sowing that which is good and positive.
Key Principles From Sermon:
Harvest Law 1:
Your Harvest Begins With A Seed
Life is filled with important choices, choices that affect us on an everyday basis in everything we do. Our choices affect us and others in dramatic ways whether we see it immediately or not. Our life choices are the "seeds' we sow in our lifetime. There are also times we reap a harvest for which we have not sown because some of us are in a relationship where we are reaping what others have sowed in their past good or bad.
Harvest Law 2:
You Must Reap the Same Kind of Things As You Sow
In the six days of creation, God ordered everything to produce "after their kind". Adam was created after the image of God and he would reproduce that image from generation to generation.
Galatians 6:8 "… for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap."
Whatever we sow, we reap, however, we will reap in-kind or in the same realm as what we have sown. If we sow anger, we cannot reap peace…
Harvest Law 3:
You Will Reap In A Different Season Than You Sow
What we sow, we reap, but the thing that is so deceptive is that we reap in a different season. Sometimes we sow bad things and because we don't see any negative consequence right away, we think we have gotten away with it. Not so….keep living!
The harvest never comes immediately after planting, while the earth abides, there is seedtime, growth, weeding, rain, sun and then….harvest. There are seasons to life and the harvest never comes immediately after sowing.
Rome was not built in a day, plants don't grow overnight, and athletes don't become strong in a week, The bible reminds us in:
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Sow what is good, because it will return to you in another season, just when you least expect it!
Harvest Law 4:
You Will Reap More Than You Sow
When you sow; you become subject to the Supernatural Law of Multiplication! When we sow good, we bountifully receive from the hand of God; for the harvest is always greater than the seed planted. If this were not the case, no farmer would ever plant a thing. If he only got back the seeds he planted, he would be on the losing end and spend his life with no bountiful harvest.
Reaping more than we sow is fundamental to the laws of the harvest and is also true for nearly every aspect of life: for the physical and the spiritual, for believers and unbelievers alike.
This law works in reverse as well. When we sow evil, we will generally reap more evil than we sowed as well.
Harvest Law 5:
Last Year's Harvest Is Unchangeable
You Cannot Change Last Year's Harvest, So Focus On This Year!
Life is full of consequences both good and bad. But how do we handle it when last year's harvest is not so good, when we have fumbled the ball or failed? The tendency is to let our failure keep us from sowing positive seeds today for this year's harvest!
What we must understand and act on is this final law of the harvest—we cannot do anything about last year's harvest, but we can sow a positive harvest THIS year! We must learn to live with the consequences of our failures. We must commit ourselves to sowing righteous seed today in spite of a bad harvest in the past.
Paul's idea here is to remind the Galatians and us of our options. We can get what we want or we can get what we do not want. It's all in what you sow.
Don't stop sowing. Do not get discouraged and down about your increase. Live a life of consistent and faithful sowing and God will see to it that you reap a harvest in the proper time.

Comprehensive smoke-free laws, if enacted in the 27 states that do not have them, would result in 624,000 fewer smoking-related deaths and prevent 398,700 youths from starting to smoke, according to estimates in a new report commissioned by the American Cancer Society (ACS) Cancer Action Network (CAN).
In addition, a second report on the health and economic benefits of tobacco taxes found that a $1-per-pack cigarette tax increase in every state and Washington, DC, would result in 1.4 million adults quitting smoking and a reduction of 1.32 million smoking-related deaths.
"The reports provide a snapshot across the states so our advocates across the country can use the information," says Angela Jones, associate director of policy for ACS CAN. "We lacked information on what the benefits could be, and now we'll have the actual numbers behind us to make our advocacy stronger."
ACS CAN's Goals
The reports, titled "Saving Lives, Saving Money," are the result of the organization's first effort to analyze data from all 50 states and release the information widely to the public. They are part of ACS CAN's "Red to Green" initiative that indicates which states are making progress in smoke-free legislation. Those states with comprehensive smoke-free laws (100% smoke-free in workplaces, restaurants, and bars) are considered "green." They include New York and Montana. Those states with no 100% smoke-free laws, such as Texas and Wyoming, are considered "red." The yellow states, meanwhile, are smoke-free in some locations but not others (see Figure 1). ACS CAN's goal is to get all states to progress to green. Leaders also want smoke-free laws to cover all workplaces and ensure that venues are 100% smoke-free with no exceptions, such as smoking in certain places at certain times.
"One of the great findings of the report is that when they ran all the numbers, and you apply these tobacco control policies, there were positive health and economic benefits for every single state," says Jones.
The reports also are guiding ACS CAN in prioritizing which critical states they should direct their resources toward. In Texas, for example, more than 110,000 smokingrelated deaths could be avoided if smoke-free laws were enacted, whereas North Carolina would have 78,100 fewer adult smokers by adopting a comprehensive law that would close the current loophole that allows smoking in nonhospitality workplaces.
In addition to increasing tobacco taxes and passing more smoke-free laws, ACS CAN advocates for improving access to smoking cessation services. "Most smokers want to quit, but they try to do it by themselves," says Jones. "We want people to understand that there is help out there, and you're more likely to be successful if you use it." Getting legislators to pay attention to these issues in difficult economic times is a challenge, particularly when the tobacco industry has significantly greater resources, she adds. At the same time, many state tobacco control programs are losing their funding. Still, the new reports will help highlight how much money such legislation will save over time. "We were surprised by the amount of benefits—in the billions of dollars in health care savings and revenues as well as the magnitude of the number of deaths prevented," says Jones.
Many Obstacles to Reducing Smoking
Frank Chaloupka, PhD, professor of economics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was the lead researcher for the reports. He has focused on the tobacco control arena for nearly 25 years and in recent years has researched tobacco control efforts in developing countries.
The 2006 Surgeon General Report on the Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke jump-started much of the smoke-free legislation in the United States, and while every state now has some restrictions, certain states such as Georgia and Alabama have weak policies, notes Dr. Chaloupka.
Furthermore, he adds, although polls show two-thirds of the population would support increasing tobacco taxes, there is a general antitax sentiment in most states. At the same time, only 2 states (Alaska and North Dakota) are funding what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends for tobacco prevention programs, while only a tiny fraction of states are spending any of what they received from the 1998 multistate tobacco settlement on tobacco control.
According to a 2010 report issued by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, American Heart Association, ACS CAN, American Lung Association, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, states have cut funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs to the lowest level since 1999, when they first received tobacco settlement funds.
In Fiscal Year 2011, the states will collect $25.3 billion in revenue from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, but are spending only 2% of it, or $517.9 million, on programs to prevent children from smoking and to help smokers quit. The 2010 report notes that states had cut funding for such programs by 9%, or $51.4 million, within the past year and by 28%, $199.3 million, within the past 3 years Meanwhile, many other countries are far ahead of the United States in their tobacco control policies, notes Dr. Chaloupka, adding that the United States is one of a handful of countries that have not ratified the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control treaty. The treaty outlines measures to reduce tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke.
Many low-income countries, for example, have found that increasing tobacco taxes has had a greater impact for them than such policies have had in the United States. "Those governments are concerned it will hurt their economy, but what they lose in the tobacco sector they make up for with a healthier workforce and improved productivity," says Dr. Chaloupka.

Faith and Healing: Everything Is Done in the Name of Placing a Person's Burden at the Foot of the Cross
Gaitskell, Victoria, Anglican Journal
FOR MANY, spiritual healing calls to mind televangelists such as Benny Hinn, whose "Miracle Crusade" fills huge stadiums and sends devotees fainting backwards into the arms of burly attendants. In contrast, Anglicans have their own form of spiritual healing, one that seeks to imitate the acts of Christ with quiet compassion.
"Anglican healing has nothing to do with placing the emphasis on a cure," explains Shelley Tidy, pastoral care associate at St. Paul's Bloor Street in Toronto, who for the past six years has chaired the Bishop's Committee on Healing in the diocese of Toronto. "Everything is done in the name of lightening a person's burden by placing it at the foot of the cross," she says.
From small disappointments--such as losing a hockey game--to big-ticket items such as job loss or death of a loved one--"we see our prayer bearing fruit in our lives," says Tidy, adding that this doesn't mean physically curing a problem but rather offering "a better support system, or a better ability to live with pain or find meaning in suffering."
Anglican healing sacraments include the laying on of hands and anointing with oil, both accompanied by prayer. While performing the laying on of hands is restricted to ordained clergy, anointing may also be performed by licensed laity under the supervision of a priest.
Every year, Tidy runs a popular fall weekend program at the Convent of the Sisters of St. John the Divine in Toronto to train lay anointers through lectures, practical training, group discussion and prayer. Before training, a prospective lay anointer must receive approval from his or her incumbent and undergo a screening process. After completing the program, the incumbent petitions the area bishop to grant a licence. The annual program is often booked to capacity.
There are many congregations and individuals working to promote healing ministry, both in parish settings and in their larger communities.
Speaking to a need
Last October, the Rev. Canon Joseph Asselin, rector of St. Cuthbert's, Oakville, Ont., observed St. Luke the Physician's Day by inviting Bishop Michael Bird of the diocese of Niagara to perform a laying on of hands at the altar rail after communion. At first, some in the congregation balked. Some even boycotted the service. "So we went out of our way to make it nonthreatening and ordinary, the way it should be," explains Asselin.
He estimates that 70 per cent of the people present at the service opted for healing. "It speaks to a need. Now that the controversy has died down and we have established trust, we plan on doing it more regularly," Asselin says.
Specialized rehab
The Toronto convent where lay anointers are trained is the Mother House of the historic Sisterhood of St. John the Divine, which was founded in 1884. Next door is St. John's Rehab Hospital, the convalescent hospital founded by the sisters. Today, it provides specialized rehabilitation services to 160 inpatients and a large and growing number of outpatients. This year, St. John's celebrates its 75th anniversary.
Four sisters provide spiritual and compassionate care to all hospital patients and run the hospital's Anglican chapel. Patients and staff use the chapel, which also provides a Wednesday morning Anglican eucharist with laying on of hands and an ecumenical Sunday service. In addition, the chapel has a Muslim prayer mat and a blank wall facing Mecca. On Fridays, priests bring communion to Roman Catholic patients, and the sisters provide Sabbath candles to patients of the Hebrew faith.
Adjoining the sisters' living quarters is a guest house that accommodates families of out-of-town hospital patients and an eight-bed infirmary for the nuns. It is staffed with nurses and personal-care workers, whose oldest charge, Sister Constance, is 108.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General DescriptionThis species has both a red and yellow form, and both are slightly more robust around the pronotum and posterior abdomen thus giving them a very subtle hourglass shape as opposed to P. exaptus' distinct oval shape. The colouring of the red form is primarily in the pronotum and scutellum. In these structures the colouring appears only around the margins, except that in the pronotum a medial red strip separates two large black spots, and on the scutellum the basal margin remains black. The characteristic black spots on the pronotum also aid in distinguishing this species from P. exaptus. The margins of the connexivum and basal portions of the hemelytra are also red coloured. In the yellow form, slight differences occur in the location of the colouring. The pronotum still has a thick red bar along its posterior margin; however the black spots are surrounded by yellow. Additionally, the margins of both the corium and scutellum are completely lined with yellow enclosing blackened regions in the centres of these structures. As in the red form, the margins of the connexivum and basal portions of the hemelytra are yellow as well. The fore-femora of both forms have a ventral, elongated spine contrasting the stubby tubercle present in P. exaptus. This species is much larger in size than P. exaptus; length 8.5 to 11.5 mm (Blatchley 1926; McPherson 1982).

My friend recently managed to lose my 4 year old Topeak Alien II on a train ride in Vietnam. I ended up buying a cheap Vietnamese tool but its not great and I need something more substancial. Here are my criteria:
Reasonably light and compact- The Alien II was a tank and had lots of flex because the body was plastic....
Chain tool- I have broken a chain while on tour and this saved my bacon
Pedal wrench- This one is tough.... The pedal wrench on my Alien II was an absolute joke. Piece of crap! It worked but just barely. I would like something better but its hard to find a tool that has a usable wrench. I travel with the bike on airplanes, trains, and buses a LOT! Maybe I should just find a pedal that I like that have a hex key on the back? Any ideas?
Should have lots of tools!- I am not that mechanically inclined but I often tour in the developing world where bike specific tools are hard to come by so the one I carry should have 90% of what I need on it.
What do you all think? I imagine that the pedal wrench requirement is the hardest to fulfill. Should I search for new pedals that dont require a wrench, or maybe I could carry a separate, travel size pedal wrench?
I was looking at this new Knog 20 tool which seems to fit a lot of my requirements but the reviews are not so great. They say its hard to use because of its small size. What do you all think?

even with GTAIV, i put in maybe 60 hours on my 100% file and of course i've played the main story a couple of times and i've also played tons of hours online... but, 75 hours is a lot considering that i am not even finished with the game yet, and everything is single player... i thought GTAIV was the funnest game i've ever played, and it was... until i started playing fallout 3 of course... fallout 3 has now set a new bar for me as to what a video game can be... fallout 3's depth even puts san andreas and saints row 2's depth, combined, to shame ...
this is the greatest video game i've ever played... i've logged at least a couple hours about 5 nights a week into this game... and 2 or 3 of those nights, i am playing it all night ... i just had to get that off my chest... now, after my friend leaves later tonight, i'll have to log a couple more hours in to it of course... my next destination would be [spoiler]vault 92... and from the sound of things, it might be one hell of a challenge because, it's not only infested with mirlurks but, it's also in deathclaw territory[/spoiler]... ohh, i can't wait!! ...

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.
