Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is being used worldwide. In the late 1980s, Calgary Police Service adopted CPTED and continues to use as guiding strategy in creating and maintaining safer communities.
The Community Youth Services Section, Crime Prevention Team, has a full time CPTED specialist and practitioner assigned to the audit process and the education of CPTED.
For more information on CPTED, see the CPTED brochure or visit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's CPTED web information.
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), enhances safety by influencing the physical design of our environment and encouraging positive social interaction. CPTED recognizes that our environment directly affects our behaviour, because we constantly respond to what is around us. These responses help us to interact safely in our communities.
Since 1991 the Calgary Police Service has been actively involved in the CPTED audit process and the training of Calgary Police Officers and the civilian sector. The Calgary Police Service conducts approximately 200 CPTED's annually. Each audit requires a site visit and CPTED inspection by trained Calgary police personnel. After the site visit a report is completed and sent back to the requesting agency.
An environment designed using CPTED principles reduces opportunities for criminal acts to take place and helps us to feel safer. By doing so, it improves our quality of life.
CPTED uses strategies that work together to create safer communities. It complements crime prevention strategies such as locks and bars, police and security personnel.
Here are a few examples of how CPTED works:
In existing communities this is best done by a CPTED practitioner who has practiced many years of crime prevention and has completed several CPTED projects. With the assistance of community leaders, crime prevention advocates and input from community members to investigate the root causes of crime, combined with CPTED will greatly help to properly implement CPTED.
In new communities CPTED is best implemented at the development stage and continued through the design and implementation stages.
For more information on CPTED, see the CPTED brochure or visit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's CPTED information.

Ramona vs. Sheri in a "Shamona" Tap Off!
"Imma Tap That" By Sheri Lynch
I bet you have a list of things in your head that you secretly or maybe not so secretly believe that you'd be pretty good at if you ever gave them a shot. I know I do. Mine isn't a very long list:
- Tap dancing
- Canoeing
- Inline skating
The list used to be longer – but I've tried some of the things that once made the list and discovered that my imagined skills were just that – imaginary. This list of failures includes:
- Paddle boarding
- Hang gliding
- Marriage* (Marriage is under reevaluation since I married Kevin. Turns out it really does take two.)
Why did I believe I'd be good at paddle boarding? I can't say. I only learned how to swim a few years ago and have yet to really get comfortable with it. My core strength is debatable; I have a complete horror of sun exposure, and honestly, am not very keen on being either wet or cold. It's just that paddle boarding looks so fun when you see pictures of Jennifer Aniston doing it in US Weekly, you know? My maiden voyage on the board took place in New Mexico at Bottomless Lake State Park. I didn't get a chance to do much paddling, since I was never able to remain upright on the board for more than 8 seconds. What I mostly did was flail about in the water and heave myself repeatedly back on to the board with all the grace and finesse of an asthmatic porpoise. My husband – watching from shore – very loyally declared that if only those rental boards had been better quality, then I would have nailed it. (See number 3 above re: marriage reevaluation.)
Why did I believe I'd be good at hang gliding? I can't say. I'm kind of terrified of heights, and not a huge fan of flying. If you don't enjoy flying in a nice, big jet staffed by trained professionals, why assume that dangling from an oversized kite might somehow be your thing? Caught up in the spirit of Wilbur and Orville Wright, I tried hang gliding at an airstrip near Kitty Hawk. I was nearly blind with panic and terror for every second of the flight. Every. Second. I can still close my eyes and recapture the sensation of uncoupling from the ultralight plane that towed us to altitude and sweet Jesus I need an Ativan just remembering that day. Let's change the subject.
Back to the list of things I secretly believe I'd be pretty good at. Shockingly, inline skating turned out to be something I really could do. And canoeing - I can now actually paddle the thing in the intended direction and (mostly) stay safely aboard. But the biggest fantasy of all, the one I've nursed since childhood, the one that I have never, ever, ever been able to let go of is tap dancing. Just watching tap makes my whole body vibrate. I can hardly stay in my seat. It's like in some past life I was a power hoofer and the cells in my body can still remember every shuffle ball change. If I could magically go back in time and add only one improvement to my childhood, it'd be tap dance lessons starting at age 5 and never stopping. That's how much I have always wished I could tap dance.
The opportunity to put my undiscovered tap potential to the test finally came last year. I started tap lessons with Miss Tiffany Hilliard about 5 months ago. Kevin offered to come too, saying that tap was cool and it'd be a fun thing to do together. (See number 3 above re: marriage reevaluation.) Tragically, I am not good at tap. It appears that I have neither coordination nor rhythm. I might have had the potential for these things at age 5, but that was a while ago and who knows how many would-be tap brain cells I've pickled in all those dirty martinis I've tossed back over the years?
But who cares? I love tap dancing even more now that I know I'm bad at it. Ever seen a horse count to 10 with its hoof? Yeah, that's me when I tap. Except the horse's accomplishment is significantly more impressive, what with it being damn unusual for a horse to do math. I'm not joking or being self-deprecating. Tap requires that your feet do multiple things that they're not used to doing – and then each foot often has to do something different from the other, but simultaneously. Also, there's hopping, leaping, and balancing involved. It seems that my brain and my feet don't really communicate very well. Sure, I can throw a few flaps and broadway steps together and if you squint your eyes, you might be fooled for half a minute. But do that to music? Not a chance. Miss Tiffany says, listen to the sounds you're making. Follow the rhythm. But what works for me is when Miss Tiffany turns off the music and calls out the names of the steps – I can usually manage to tap my way through that. See how skewed toward language my brain is? Words are the only thing I can dance to.
I refuse to quit, though. I refuse. I may never be able to dash off a graceful, sassy little combo like my friends Ramona and Jessica can. (And they do this after saying, oh my God, girl, I haven't worn in tap shoes in 10 years – and then they basically impersonate Shirley freaking Temple.) God knows I will never execute one of the wicked fast ninja flying feet tap maneuvers that Miss Tiffany does. But every time I manage to complete a combo without stumbling, especially if it's a combo that moves across the floor, there's this fleeting moment, this one nanosecond where my brain and my feet actually do work together and I'm doing it, I'm really doing it, I'm tap dancing! I've got happy feet! Not skilled, not impressive, but happy happy happy feet.

Question. Considering the fact that:
- The Deep Down demo can run on a 'NVIDIA Geforce GTX 570, 8 GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i7 CPU'
- Capcom's last big game, Resident Evil 6, took 5 months to come to PC.
- Next-gen PC ports are easier than ever.
- Capcom really love money.
How long long until we're pre-loading this badboy on steam?

In the past two decades, biotechnology has been used to improve yield, nutrition, resistance to drought and insects, and other desirable qualities of several common food crops, including corn and soy. As consumers grow more conscious about the types of foods they put in their bodies, some have asked about the role of biotechnology in food production and health.
As such, ConAgra Foods only purchases and uses ingredients that comply with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for food safety and nutrition. Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the FDA have concluded that biotech foods that are approved for human consumption are as safe and nutritious as other foods that are developed through more conventional methods.
However, we understand the field of food biotechnology is constantly shifting as advancements are made in the world of science, and will continue to reevaluate our internal policies, relying heavily on evolving science, consumer and customer expectations, and regulatory decisions.
Ultimately, consumers will decide what is acceptable in the marketplace based on the best science and public information available. We will continue to listen carefully to our customers and consumers on biotechnology and provide alternatives for those who demand products without biotechnology ingredients. Two choices are our Lightlife brand, which is manufactured using non-GMO soy seeds, and our organic foods, which also do not use biotech ingredients.

On April 15, 2013, SEIA submitted comments to the House Ways and Means Committee's Energy Tax Reform Working Group.
You are here
Voters agree on one thing: policies that support solar energy
The best billboard for solar power is a solar panel. People are captivated and inspired by solar panels quietly at work producing clean energy. Last month, Americans saw tens of thousands of these billboards through almost 600 American Solar Energy Society (ASES) tours of homes, municipal buildings and businesses in 38 states, each demonstrating the use of clean, affordable solar power.
This fact sheet describes the Right-of-Way approval process that federal agencies have developed to authorize use of public lands for utility-scale solar energy developments.
Long-term clean energy contracting for federal agencies helps to create private-sector jobs, shift federal energy use away from foreign sources, hedge against rises in electricity rates and reduce federal electricity expenses.
SEIA Statement on House Committee Approval of No More Solyndras Act
WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce approved H.R. 6213, the No More Solyndras Act, by a vote of 29-19. Rhone Resch, President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA®), issued the following statement on the legislation:
SEIA Statement on Chinese Ruling Against US Renewable Energy Programs
Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement today in response to reports that China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has preliminarily determined that six state-level U.S. renewable energy programs violate global trade rules.
SEIA's Rhone Resch on BLM's Moratorium Announcement
"The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) announcement that it has lifted its moratorium on solar energy applications on federal lands is the right decision. While we applaud today's announcement, BLM has only resolved half the problem. They have yet to approve a single solar energy project. Expediting the permitting process is the next step in developing solar energy projects on federal lands.
Federal Solar Tax Credits Extended for 8 Years, US Poised to Become Largest Solar Market in the World
Today, by a vote of 263 to 171, the U.S. House of Representatives passed historic legislation that extends the 30-percent federal investment tax credit for both residential and commercial solar installations for 8 years.
FERC Kicks Off Process to Get More Solar onto the Grid
Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President and CEO Rhone Resch released the following statement in response to today's announcement by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that it is reviewing its policies with an eye toward integrating more variable resources into the electric grid.
Secretary Ken Salazar Named 2009 National Solar Energy Champion of the Year
"In his role at the Department of the Interior, Secretary Salazar oversees the best solar resources in the world and understands that we need to put this clean, domestic resources to work for America," said Rhone Resch, president of SEIA.

Around The Web
Looks like the costume department from Game of Thrones has bled over into the mainstream. With hi-larious results.
If they recap Katie Holmes soon, my immediate reaction to her dress was "That's the servant girl/prostitute dress in white!"
You all are so wonderfully funny- spot on, too. But I love the vintage orange dress, MOrgan Le Fey or not… This batch of boggarts knew what they were about.
…wait. The Olsen twins are NOT joined at the hip?! When did this happen?!
Who does Zachary Quinto think he is? Alan Cumming?
Dammit – now I wish Wintour would declare next year's theme to be GoT. However she should add a postscript to the invitations: There will be beheadings for thematic fails!
The Olsens made an honest mistake – I ALWAYS confuse "gypsy boudoir" with "punk."
This year's theme basically was GoT – Florence dressed up as an actual Crow.
Damn, MK is looking rough. Hope she's okay.
I love Katy's look. It makes no sense, it doesnt fit the theme but I love it. I want the crown to wear every day.
Her makeup and outfits age her a lot. I would have to guess she was in her 40s or 50s. I'd love to see her in something fresher!
I thought I was alone in thinking that! The vintage makeup makes it look as if SHE is vintage. Actually, I think this is one of the better ones – maybe she needs to dump her current repertoire and just go medieval with it. She'll look so fresh in comparison.
I kind of dig Katy Perry's outfit. It's fun.
Same here — I'd totally wear that dress (and crown, if only around the house).
I'm intrigued by this medieval-ly offshoot. If it were Victorian, I'd figure they were going for steam punk, but medieval? I don't get it.
Say what you will about the Olsens' style (and there's plenty to say), at least they don't go out flaunting their private parts.
I am incapable of seeing the Olsens now without hearing Zooey Deschanel's phenomenal SNL version of them (well, of one of them, but same thing). I highly recommend it to all: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/digital-shorts/video/bein-quirky-with-zooey-deschanel/1384660/
But how does the story END? I need to read the rest!
OMG, I actually want to watch that show/see that movie/read that book.
My thoughts exactly! I would read the hell out of that book.
Damned Heather…that was some funky funny crazy trip you just took me on [that's how my uncle, who grew up in the '60s would have said it].
P.S. I love, love, love all that shiny embroidery on Katy Perry's dress. It's gorgeous close up.
That last slide commentary makes me think of the Black Dagger Brotherhood which is a very popular and very awful (from my perspective) vampire book series. They literally have main characters named Rhage, Phury and Zsadist. Seriously.
What about Llaym?
I love byzantine art, so I am really loving Katy's dress…except for the hem and cut of the skirt. I feel like it makes her hips look wider than they are and has a lot of heaviness to it. I might love it a whole lot of it was framed and not worn, though!
I totally agree! Pretty great dress but totally the wrong length for her. She looks great in gold w/ that dark hair and lip. Really too bad that the dress is making her look frumpy.
Byzantine? I thought she was dressed as a Russian Icon.
Or maybe Greek. Well, she's dressed as an Orthodox Christian icon, which gives the outfit Byzantine ancestry. Dang, I think I'm giving her a "Best Dressed" award, just for the history lesson.
That made it all worth it.
But you know, I have to say this or I would have no integrity:
I am a vegan, and I don't think you should toss around quips pertaining to tricking us into accepting disguised meat from an Olsen twin. We get "meated" about half the time at Taco Bell as it is.
That shizz is wrong.
Oh you poor thing.
I'm a vegetarian and I thought it was funny.
I thought it was funny! Very funny, in fact. I was just mocking how people take offense at things. Although, I do realize that some vegans are humorless, I just…(sigh).
Aw, poor baby. I think we needed a wink or something, sorry I didn't get it!
I love the fanfic you girls write (in addition to the actual fiction you write). I love what Katy is wearing, even though I don't think it's anywhere close to punk (but then again, I'm so the wrong person to ask about punk anyway). I also kind of love Quinto here. Is that wrong?
Ahahahahaha!!!!!!!! I missed you, GFY Heather! These are all FUG!
I really need this to be a real movie….
Oh please please contact HBO! You have a hit on your hands!
Ha! I almost posted, "Lady Jane Grey, is that you?" under Linda Evangelista's entry!
Oh me, Fug Girls. That was the funniest post in a long time. I snarfed, snorted, guffawed, and actually choked I was laughing so hard. That is some funny shit right there.
OK, this made me laugh so hard I got an asthma attack. Hee hee, "normal names with extra letters in them." That is SO GoT.
MK, however, is not, Cersei drag notwithstanding.
love ashley olson's dress..may be a bit wrong for the theme, but love it on her nonetheless
Thank you for making me laugh out loud at my desk on a Wednesday morning!!!
oh, honey, no.
just… no.
i LOVE katy perry's outfit even though it doesn't really relate to the theme.
Sometimes Y is my favorite vowel.
Man, you guys are wasted on this fashion commentary stuff (that I've been reading religiously forever DON'T EVER STOP). You should possibly have your own MAD Magazine.

Doyle asked to cancel trade trip
GOP lawmaker says governor should skip China mission for state budget talks
A Republican legislative leader put Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle in the middle of the legislative impasse over the stalled state budget Thursday, saying Doyle should cancel his trade mission to China so he can devote those 12 days to budget talks.
Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) also called the committee process "a charade," "a show" and "a waste of time."
"If anyone was wondering, nothing was accomplished today," Fitzgerald said halfway through a two-hour budget meeting. "And nothing will be accomplished today because this is nothing more than a game that is being played."
Fitzgerald said Doyle should cancel his Sept. 7-18 trip to China and Japan.
"The fact is, you're going to see this thing deteriorate further unless the governor gets engaged," Fitzgerald said. "It is absolutely essential that he gets involved."
Fitzgerald is one of eight legislators sitting on a conference committee that is trying to hash out a state budget. No agreements were reached during Thursday's meeting, the committee's ninth.
Doyle was in meetings and was unavailable for comment Thursday, but spokesman Matt Canter said the governor was closely involved in budget negotiations and would remain so while overseas. The trade mission - announced six months ago - will help boost the state's economy, Canter said.
"Just because Senator Fitzgerald is failing to do his job doesn't mean Governor Doyle should stop doing his," Canter said.
Canter said the governor agreed with Fitzgerald that the committee was making no progress. But Canter said Republicans were responsible for the delay.
The Democratic-run Senate and Republican-led Assembly passed vastly different versions of the budget this summer, and the leaders now are charged with negotiating a compromise to present to Doyle.
They have made no progress on key issues since they began meeting two months ago. They are slated to meet again Wednesday.
Republicans have long said they want assurances from Doyle on any agreements they cut with Democrats because the governor could undo those deals with his veto pen. But the committee has not agreed on a specific package to present to Doyle.
Democrats on the committee said there was no need for Doyle to cancel his trip.
"You know, they have Internet in China," said Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser (D-Kenosha). "They have telephones. (Doyle has) got staff here with hard delegation authority."
Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson (D-Beloit) said she believed progress was being made at the negotiating table, as well as in private meetings with Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch (R-West Salem). She said she made a counteroffer behind closed doors to the GOP's school funding plan last week, but after Thursday's meeting refused to provide any details about that offer.

The Population Research Center (PRC) aims to provide outstanding infrastructure resources and sustain a dynamic interdisciplinary culture geared toward facilitating the highest level of population-related research among its faculty members and graduate and undergraduate trainees. The PRC supports research that moves well beyond the bounds of traditional demography to the cutting edge of population research.
To advance our research agenda, we provide PRC affiliates with state-of-the-art administrative and computing services as well as a dedicated development team. Further, we support researchers with active collaborators and mentors within the PRC, a Brownbag Series to extend their research interests, and dedicated space to conduct their research and training activities.
Underlying the work of the PRC is a foundation that emphasizes:
- fundamental attention to issues of social and economic inequality, particularly by race/ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status;
- rigorous attention to, and application of, the most appropriate and advanced methodological techniques; and
- an orientation toward federal and major foundation grant funding and publication in top quality scientific journals.
Most of the research is concentrated in four overlapping and reinforcing thematic areas: Health Disparities; Parenting, Partnering and Human Development; Educational Inequality and Opportunity; and Socioeconomic Inequality and Work. Many PRC researchers work in more than one of these overlapping and reinforcing areas, and in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams.
The PRC also hosts various projects on special topics relevant to contemporary population studies.

Want to grow in faithfulness? Find the faithful people
"We need heroes. I mean genuine heroes, authentic men and women who are admired for their achievements, noble qualities, and courage. Such people aren't afraid to be different. They risk. They stand a cut above. Yet they are real human beings with flaws and failures like anyone else. But they inspire us to do better." -Chuck Swindoll
With some dear, faithful friends
I love being around people who inspire me to be better.
My friend Robyn is always inspiring me to read the Bible and stay close to grace. My friend Soleil inspires me to trust the work and guidance of the Holy Spirit that is alive within me; she always reminds me to go to Him when I've got questions or pain or confusion. My friend Amy inspires me to make homemade meals and go slow and steady and believe the truth of God's gentleness. My mother-in-law inspires me to trust God with anything that comes our way, knowing He is faithful to complete the good work He has stared in us. My friend Robin inspires me to read good literature and to teach my children the gift of story and drama and beauty. I have more friends I could list here, but the point is, through the Lord's kindness (I prayed and prayed for these kinds of friends) He has surrounded me with a group of dear, close local friends that help me to be a better person. And I want to be better; I don't want to stay the same year after year; I want to grow.
I know that if I want to be faithful and have integrity and keep on in the Word and following God by faith, I need to surround myself with faithful people who are after the same goal. That doesn't mean I don't have other friendships, it just means that my close friends, my inner-circle group who know me inside and out and who love the Lord and humbly follow Him, they are the ones who I "yoke" with.
The Lord has brought different people over the years who have profoundly impacted my life. Cathy Bowman from the Navigators, Kimberely Knockel and her work in teaching Core Lies, and Ann Kradel Gale as the woman who gently guided me through abortion counseling. You probably don't know any of these women, but they are the heroes in my life and in countless others lives. They are the unsung heroes; the hidden ones who change souls without fanfare. I am deeply indebted to each of them.
And then there is Sally Clarkson, the gift of grace God brought to my life as a dear friend and mentor.
Sally has changed my life so profoundly that I often wonder what I'd be like if it weren't for her unwavering investment in my life.
Sally not only inspires me in faithfulness and integrity, she has taught me to be a better woman. She keeps me accountable to my word; she holds me to a high standard because she cares about me. And I'm grateful. It's easy to just float through life, but she teaches me to dream and have ideals and to be excellent in what God calls me to. She encourages me to hold fast to truth and beauty and good things and not go the way of culture because it's popular. She has called out my selfishness in the past (always with gentleness and grace), and at first I didn't like it, because who likes to be disciplined, but now I look back and I thank God that she helped me, that she trained me in righteousness. I thank God that she was willing to have uncomfortable conversations in order that I might grow strong in character and faithfulness. She is a rare one for sure, a cut above the rest, a hero. A flawed hero to be sure, because she's just so human like the rest of us, but a flawed, faithful, inspiring hero.
Sally's home, nestled in beautiful, snowy Colorado where I cozy up and laugh and learn and drink strong tea and coffee
Today, Sally's new book, The Lifegiving Home, launches. It is a beautiful, encouraging, practical book on how to bring life and celebration and tradition and foundations into your home. It is her mentoring you from afar.
As I read through the book, highlighting and underlining and making notes, I realized that these are the things she's been teaching me for years. This is her life opened up for you, so you can be inspired to raise life above mere existence. It's a hard-fought life for sure, but it's a worthy one.
If you want to be inspired in your own life and home, if you want a peek into the how-to's of a woman who gave her life to discipling and creating and teaching, I cannot recommend The Lifegivng Home enough.
Buy it HERE, or wherever books are sold.
"Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal. There are many out there taking other paths, choosing other goals, and trying to get you to go along with them. I've warned you of them many times; sadly, I'm having to do it again. All they want is easy street. They hate Christ's Cross. But easy street is a dead-end street…" Philippians 3:17-19, The MSG Version

My Best Bit of Parenting Advice
"Holiness is not about getting right and wrong perfected, but it's about living in the Light, living without anything hidden." Bill Thrall
I had a friend text me recently and ask if I would be her parenting mentor.
I laughed to myself and texted back, "Sure, but it might be the blind leading the blind!"
Ever since her text, I've been thinking about parenting and what I could offer her, what I've learned, and what has been helpful for me as I do my best with my three babes. I'm not great at teaching and training my children, I get impatient and irritated too easily. I don't spend enough time with them at bedtime, and I'm not as fun as I'd like to be with them. But there is one thing that God has impressed upon me that I try to impress upon them, and it is this:
Be in the Light.
Don't hide; never hide.
Your ugly is never so ugly that you can't be loved or forgiven. Also? I've got a lot of ugly of my own. You aren't alone.
You've also got a whole lot of beautiful, because you were created in the image of God.
You are loved no matter what. Nothing you could do could change my love for you. On your best day or your worst day, I love you the same.
Nothing you could say or do could make me love you more or less.
You can always talk to me, about anything; approach me with confidence, because I'm on your team.
You are pleasing to me because you are my child.
You will mess up, and you'll do it a lot, but that's okay. I mess up a lot, too. We're in this together; it's why we need Jesus.
We need Jesus.
You and me both, kid. Because we will never get "it" right in this life. There will be loose ends and trouble and sin swirling all around us, but if we hold onto Jesus, we'll make it.
And grace.
A million times you will mess up, and a million times I will forgive you. And please forgive me, too, for my million mess-ups.
If we carry on in grace, and stay in the light, we can do this thing called life. And we can do it fairly well.
So there it is, my big parenting advice. It's really all I've got. But I think it's everything, because it's how the Father loves us.
"…to all who did receive him [Jesus], to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12
Love, SM
How to Lead a Women's Small Group Bible Study in Your Home
I know you're busy.
Me too.
It's been years since I facilitated a woman's small group in my home. When I became pregnant with Caroline, I was tired and sick and didn't want to have a small group in my home anymore (and I didn't even want to go to one). I figured I could just pick it back up when I regained sanity and a got Care into a good sleep routine. Alas, things didn't ever get back to the way they were. I never got over being tired, bedtimes became later at night, and I had no margin for one more thing. I had started to write, and that was my outlet; I felt like I needed it, so it was the only thing I made time for outside of my family. The problem was, I didn't have any friends, and I thought I was fine. But you know, women need each other, and I had grown used to thinking I didn't need anyone. I had convinced myself I was a loner.
This past winter I took a baby step and joined a woman's bible study group at church. It was good, but it was in the church sanctuary and therefore lacked the intimate, inviting setting that {I think} only a home can provide. I love curling up on a chair or a couch with a some hot coffee in my hand and settling in for a good discussion. I miss having a women's small group in my home.
I think it's time to begin again.
If you're thinking about starting a small group in your home, but aren't sure how or where to begin, here's a peek at what I've done (and plan to do)…
How to Start & Facilitate a Women's Small Group in Your Home
Choosing to "Facilitate"
Notice that I used the word "facilitate" instead of lead. I say that because leading a study can feel intimidating, but facilitating one is just making a space where a study can happen; it's being willing to get the ball rolling. As a facilitator my goal is to bring women together with a plan and to help (not dominate) the flow of the study and the evening. I'm making room for discussion to flourish by offering a warm, safe, and comfortable environment for women bring dark to light.
Figure Out What Kind of Study You Want to Facilitate
Do you want to read a book of the Bible, study a book, follow a Bible study guide, or have a topical study (one topic over a period of weeks, or a different topic each week)? It's important to think through your limitations and count the cost before jumping in; pick something you know you can do with the time you have (this is so important so you can complete the study!).
Reading a Book of the Bible: Pick a book and read through it together. Know what chapters you'll be covering so everyone can read up, and then discuss it. This method is great for reaching out to your neighbors, those interested in learning more about the Bible, or new believers.
Use a Specific Method for Studying the Bible: One of my favorite ways to study the Bible in a group is by using the Inductive Bible study method. It is time consuming, but the insights you gain from the deeper study can be life-altering.
Use a Bible Study Guide: You can find Bible study guides anywhere. Beth Moore has a ton, and there is study for just about anything you could want to delve into. I usually do not like Bible study guides because the questions are obvious and the study can get boring real quick. However, there are some good ones out there (such as Beth Moore studies). Just make sure you leaf through it to make sure it has depth.
Discuss a Topic: You can do this by picking different topics for each week where you come prepared with your own thoughts, research, and scripture on the topic, or you can pick one topic to study the whole time, such as "marriage." You can do your own research, or find a study guide to help you.
Read a Book: Sometimes it's nice to just do a book club with other women. Get a hold of one of your favorites or one you've never read, and dig in together! If you're doing a mom's group, well, you know I recommend Desperate. 😉
Make a List of Women You'd Like to Invite
Think about the women around you that you think you would like to meet with over the course of several weeks. Do you just want some laid back girl-time with your dear friends, where you can talk super openly and have discussions late into the night? Or maybe you'd like to invite some women from your neighborhood or work or children's school, and get to know them. Who is in your Oikos (those who God has placed around you)?
This time around for me, I'm going to invite some women from my neighborhood to study a book of the Bible together. I'm looking forward to deepening relationships that have begun, and watching to see how God's Spirit moves during the several weeks we spend with one another.
Prepare for the Group
Depending on what kind of study you choose will dictate how much you need to prepare. You also need to figure out if your study will meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly (this depends again on what kind of study you're doing and what your limitations are). As a homeschooling mom of three fairly little ones, I'm going to be doing the least amount of prep possible. I will read the chapter of the book we're studying, write out a few questions or look some up, and that's it. Do what you can with what you have.
Prepare the Environment
This is the fun part! Even if you don't like to clean (hello, me), and you aren't any good at decorating (hello, me again), you can still create a warm and intimate atmosphere where women feel comfortable and loved. It's the little things, truly! Have a snack, some tea and/or coffee made, and have the living room picked up and comfy pillows around, and a candle or two lit. Let women know they can make themselves at home; let them know they can really settle in (naturally, this will take time).
Set Some Ground Rules
It's a really good idea to have some ground rules ready to share. Here are the ones I use:
- This is a safe, grace-filled place. Nothing said here gets shared with anyone else.
- If you are an extrovert and have lot's to say (that's good, God made you that way!), keep in mind the quieter women of the group and give them time and space to share (rule of thumb for me as a facilitator is to count to 30 before answering – you could always pull your talkers aside privately and ask them to try that little trick as well)
- If you disagree, do it kindly – we're all on a journey figuring things out, and we're all in different places with different histories and wounds, so be easy with each other (Life is hard, be kind)
- Please try and be on time, and if you can't make it, just call and let me know
What would you add?
Relax and Enjoy Learning/Discussing with Friends
Women like to talk, and if they feel safe, they'll talk even more. Relax and let the night unfold! Have fun, think deeply (if you're not sleep deprived with little ones), and enjoy the work that God is doing!

Be The Mentor You Never Had (Plus, Is Desperate Only For Those Who Can Hire Help? Addressing An Amazon Review)
Today is the last day of the book club here; Sally will write about the last chapter on itakejoy.com on Thursday.
There are two things I want to address from the chapter and from some of the reviews on Amazon. First, an excerpt from Chapter 14, Desperate…Not Defeated:
"If you go through this season of desperation alone and without help – though I pray that does not happen – then I want you to write down what you're experiencing and how it affects you. Put in writing how you are going to be there for your children one day and the other young women God puts in your path and be the helper you never had. I want you to think of all the times you have said…
"I wish I just had someone to help me with _______."
"Why don't any of the older women ever volunteer in the nursery?"
"I've been praying for a mentor, but so far, no one has shown up."
"It seems like the older women don't want to invest in the younger women; where are they?"
"I have no money so I can't go anywhere when I need to get away. I could really just use a night away alone."
"I'm drowning in laundry! I wish I had some help!"
You have probably thought many of those things, and more. You recognize that you need help, you need time, and you need refreshment. I want you to commit right now that, Lord willing, you will be that person fo a few younger women one day."
And there it is, the heart of Desperate – reaching out and helping/being friends with another woman so that we can persevere as mothers.
No one should have to do motherhood alone. Which brings me to a comment on a couple of the Amazon reviews:
"Most of their ways to "breathe" are only possible if you can afford to hire help."
I cringed when I read that comment, for two reasons. One, that is not at all what Sally and I were communicating, and the fact that a couple people felt that was what we were saying, well, it's painful, and sad and wow, do I need to communicate better?. The second thing is, it's just not true. The whole of the book is to encourage mothers that they are not crazy for how they're feeling, and that they are not alone in their thoughts and feelings of desperation, and that they shouldn't have to do motherhood alone – not by way of "hiring help" but by way of friendship and mentors! We mention that if you can you could consider hiring some help around the house, that there is nothing wrong with that if you're able, but it was just a suggestion. I understand that many women cannot afford any help, but I also know there is so much guilt around the idea that if you hire someone to help you clean here and there you are somehow a failure or less than. I say boo to that! Also, I know what it's like to not have the money to have some help; heck, I remember not having enough money to buy groceries some weeks! So for those commenters to assume that out of our whole book we are saying the only way to breathe is to hire help, well, I'm just honestly at a loss, but even more so I want to say: I'm so sorry you felt that's what we were saying. We do not believe that to breathe you need to hire help, we believe that you need help, and we hope you find it in friendship and mentors, and ultimately in the One who loves you and guides and is there for you in every desperate moment.
In fact, here's a little resolution I wrote up to encourage you in overcoming the desperate feelings that motherhood can bring on, and none of them have to do with hiring help (these are the concepts in the book):
The No-More-Desperate-Moms Resolution
(Get a pretty PDF version of this resolution to print by clicking here)
If I am a mom of little ones…
I will choose to celebrate each day with my children as gifts from God.
I will remember that I am not alone in my feelings of inadequacy.
I will remember to accept my limitations with grace.
I will remember that one day, this season of little ones will be over.
I will commit to making my relationship with my spouse (if applicable) a priority, knowing we are partners in the raising of the eternal souls in our care.
I will pursue friendships with other moms.
I will not feel guilty for taking time for myself to refresh my soul.
I will fill myself with good things in order to keep growing as a person.
I will talk to my children about the importance of serving others.
I will not compare myself with other moms, but instead be the mom God made me to be.
I will remember the hard years of raising little ones so that one day I will help a mother of little ones. I will do for another mom what I wish someone would have done for me.
I will remember to look my babies in the eye, nibble their toes, nuzzle in their necks, dance with them, giggle with them, and remember in whose image they were created.
If I am past the little years and my children are grown…
I will commit to teaching a young mom how to walk with God and read His word every day.
I will "adopt" a young mom who doesn't have a mom, and I will mentor her and love her.
I will commit to take a mom of little ones a meal from time to time.
I will commit to offer to watch a mom's little ones once a month.
I will commit to doing an act of service for a mom with little ones once a month (laundry, dishes, general cleaning).
I will encourage my older daughters to serve young moms.
I will remember to tell women to accept their limitations with grace.
I will remember that I am raising generations by helping and loving moms so they can persevere in the noble call of motherhood.
I will do for a young mother what I wish someone would have done for me.
And there it is, the conclusion of the book club here at SarahMae.com. Please head over to itakejoy.com on Thursday to read the final book club post.
Thank you so much for sticking with this study, and I pray that you would find help and encouragement and resolve to overcome and be the mama I know you are. So much love to you.

How Do I Find a Mentor?
Jesus reached out to His disciples. He saw them, and he called to them, and He invested His life in them.
Titus 2: 3-5 says that older women are to teach the younger women.
I believe that older women should be reaching out to younger women. However, this doesn't happen as much as younger women would like (busyness, insecurity on the part of an older woman, etc.). I'd like to offer some suggestions for younger women reaching out to older women.
Accept Humanness & Prepare For It
Sally isn't perfect.
Many people believe that I found the perfect mentor. While it's true that Sally is quite fitted to me, and she is my friend, advocate, and wise mentor, she's still human! She struggles with sin just like the rest of us. When looking for a mentor, please don't try and find someone who has it all together or has done everything right. Find someone who is humble, who loves the Lord, and is who is willing to do life with you. I love Sally because she is my friend, and she invests in my life, and we encourage each other; this is what a mentor does, walks out life with you, encouraging you and teaching you what they've learned throughout life. Remember, we all have sinful bents, and it is only Jesus who makes us beautiful and righteous. If you are looking for someone "perfect" you will never find them, or they will let you down. Accept the reality of humaness.
Yea, yea, I know, this is the obvious one, but it's obvious for a reason: God hears us. Ask God to bring an older woman into your life. Ask Him who would you fit you as a friend, advocate, mentor, and life-walker.
Be Patient
You don't have to fall in love with the first woman who asks you to coffee. Get to know them, and see if their is a commonality, a bond, a "clickness". Don't rush it.
Approach an Older Woman…or Two
Pay attention to the women around you, particularly in your church, and then one day ask them to come over for a cup of coffee. You don't have to approach someone and say, "Hi, I'd like you to be my mentor." Just get to know someone, or a couple someone's. You're not looking for undivided attention here, You're looking for a real life friend, one who will sit with you as your kiddos are running around and needing fed and changed. You might not have a chance to get out for coffee, and that's okay. A friend will meet you in the middle of your life, babies, cleaning, diapers, conflict, and all!
It's Okay to Have More Than One Mentor
Sally is my long-distance mentor and friend, and Ginny is my local mentor and friend. I talk to Sally almost every day, and I have tea with Ginny usually once a week. Ginny also surprises me with Chai Latte's in the morning, or washes my dishes, or makes hats for my kids and doll blankest for their dolls. She loves my children in person, and she cares for me (psst…older women, is there one young mama you can do this for?). I love Sally and Ginny, and both of them are gifts of grace to me from God. And just an FYI, the relationship that Ginny and I have began organically. We went to the same church, but didn't even know each other. Her husband and my husband met for coffee once a week, and here and there I would talk to Ginny. Very slowly, over a period of years, we finally get to know each other. It wasn't until this past year that we really became dear friends. Relationships take time and effort. Make the time, and put in the effort, even if that effort is simply an open door to your life.
Don't Forget Your Mother
If you have a healthy relationship with your mother, then you have a built-in mentor! Consider yourself blessed and reach out to her. Ask her about her life and her story and her offerings; get to know her anew. A mother who loves you and invests in you and is wise and godly is a gift! Don't waste it.

I asked my FB community how they met their mentors; here are a few of their responses:

Time Stands Still, the new play by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Marguilies (Dinner With Friends), begins performances at the Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre tonight. The drama stars Laura Linney (most recently on Broadway in Roundabout Theatre Company's Les Liaisons Dangereuses) and Brian d'Arcy James (the original man behind the big green costume in Shrek on Broadway) as a couple, a photographer and a journalist, who have been covering war-torn lands. But, ironically, their lives are turned upside down when an injury means that they have to settle down into a more conventional lifestyle at home in New York City. Time Stands Still, which is directed by Daniel Sullivan, also stars Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, The Graduate on Broadway) and playwright/performer Eric Bogosian (Law & Order: Criminal Intent). The limited-run production will have its official Broadway opening on January 28 and has an expected closing date of March 21.

Update: Our own Don Lehman chatted with Marco Perry and Mark Prommel in today's episode of the Afterschool podcast.
If 2012 was a big year for Pensa, 2013 has been even bigger: Both Street Charge and the Core77 Design Awards Runner Up DIWire Bender, both of which they introduced about 18 months ago, have come to fruition this year. We would have been impressed if they'd brought just one of them to market, especially since the two projects could not be more different—besides, of course, the fact that they're both novel, useful products.
Which is a long way of saying that today sees the official Kickstarter launch of the consumer-ready DIWire Bender. Seeing as it's already at $40,000, we imagine they'd tipped off the interested parties who were duly impressed by the production version, which Pensa! has exhibited at Maker Faires in San Mateo and New York City and most recently at Engadget Expand over the weekend.
Besides the plug-and-play device itself—which has the matte black box aesthetic of MakerBot's Replicator 2—Pensa! has developed an ecosystem for hobbyist and practitioner alike: The custom software is intended to be straightforward enough for users of any skill level and they've even devised a system of plastic clips to facilitate assembly of multi-part projects. If one were inclined to make bad puns, one might say that the lowest radius of the DIWire Bender is its learning curve.
But don't be fooled by the simple interface (or the terrible joke): This is a professional-grade CNC tool and is intended to be used alongside other prototyping technologies, from 3D printers to lasercutters to CNC mills and routers.By being transportable, accessible and affordable, the DIWire fills the market gap between time-consuming hand-bending and large scale, mass production CNC wire bending, which is too expensive for custom, short-run productions. This changes the dynamics of STEM education, as well as local, mass customized, prototype and just-in-time manufacturing for industries ranging from aerospace, automotive, medical, to consumer products.
Of course, the $2,750 pricetag—it's still available at the second of three early bird tiers as of press time; it'll eventually plateau at $3,200—might be a bit steep for your average garage-bound maker, but I can only imagine that less expensive alternatives will make their way to market shortly... as will more powerful ones. Perhaps it's only a matter of time before we all have walking, (back)talking Benders as companions:
Check out the DIWire Bender on Kickstarter—the five-week crowdfunding campaign launched this morning, and it's currently on track to top its goal by twentyfold. (Again, this initial spurt is likely a de facto pre-sale for folks in the know, but, as with the FORM 1, there's no reason to doubt that it will be a very successful campaign indeed.)
We spoke to Marco Perry and Mark Prommel in our latest episode of the Afterschool podcast. And in case you missed it, here's our video about Street Charge:
More Marco! 2011 interview; 2008 video
That's the hook gear for a Singer 111w155, an industrial sewing machine much-beloved by (and cloned for) those who produce upholstery and heavy-duty sewn goods. It was originally produced in the 1950s and virtually built to last forever, so a well-tuned machine like this will run you over $500. I...
While "We Are Makers" was the first documentary looking at the burgeoning Maker Movement, it certainly won't be the last. As of this week, we know what the next one will be: The team behind 2011's Design & Thinking doc are gearing up for their next effort, Maker, whose successful...
The jersey T is classic, but a bit boring. The T-Shirt Issue has once again upped the traditional T's drama with a touch of 3D rendering and design. We chatted with the T-Shirt Issue back in 2011 when they were looking to fund a Kickstarter campaign to launch a line...
Back in June, we wondered how Apple's then-forthcoming tube-shaped Mac Pro was manufactured. Following a tip from Don Lehman, we learned it was the process known as impact extrusion, and we assembled a bunch of clips to show you the process.Well, turns out Apple has put together their own video...

5 Things We Learned From This Weekend
Another weekend gone, another week we get closer to the end of the season.
Yeah, think about that. We're only three months away from the end of another season where we'll have to wait months again for regular football to be played. At least we have the Euros to entertain us this summer.
But, let's enjoy what we have this year and talk about what we learned this weekend. Quite a bit, as it turns out.

Riverwest Fest rocks to the end of the world
If it was the end of the world as we know it, the bands and spectators at Riverwest Fest appeared to feel fine.
Contrary to the Mayan calendar, the world did in fact not come to an end on Friday (as of this story's 10 p.m. deadline anyway), so plans for the third annual local music bash proceeded as planned. The two-day event's grown to be one of the largest showcases of music in the city; by the time the fest wraps up Saturday, about 66 bands should have played nine different venues. »Read Full Article(1)
Mayer fires up memorable tour debut
If John Mayer's new song "Wildfire" spreads, remember, the blaze started at Summerfest.
For the official kick-off of his Born & Raised Tour at the Marcus Amphitheater Saturday night, Mayer treated his Milwaukee fans with the debut live performance of "Wildfire," the first track off this August's album "Paradise Valley." It's a song Mayer told his audience that was just completed three weeks ago. »Read Full Article(2)
Katy Perry attended John Mayer's Summerfest show, says Big Gig boss

Buddy Guy
If you had to pick one man as the template for modern rock, you could hardly do better than Buddy Guy. Back in the '60s Guy designed the house that Hendrix, Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan eventually lived in. The ripples from that foundation have touched nearly everyone who has worked in rock, hard rock, blues and even grunge. »Read Full Article

Wisconsin native Nick Hexum of the rock band 311 took a few minutes before the group's headlining show at the Miller Lite Oasis at Summerfest tonight to answer 10 questions for Tap Milwaukee music writer Piet Levy.

Bacon and his wife, Sarah Duhr, will be serving the popular banh mi and other sandwiches from the Jeppa Joes menu, and expect to add sandwiches down the road.

Three to See: Suggestions for July 6
Something known: Buddy Guy (10 p.m. Harley-Davidson Roadhouse).

Empire of the Sun
Buzz about Empire of the Sun's over-the-top live production preceded its arrival Tuesday night at Summerfest's Miller Lite Oasis. The electronic-focused Australian group didn't disappoint on that front early in the headlining set. After a 10-minute bass-pounding, Daft Punk-sampling set from DJ Rik Fade, neon light-wrapped dancers twirled across a stage bathed in the blue glow of a bright LED screen. "Old Flavours" was an intense spectacle of bouncy synthesizers, throbbing beats and blinding lights. »Read Full Article(1)

NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- According to a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), different generations have paid and will continue to pay disparate amounts of Medicare and Social Security payroll taxes, and they will also receive dissimilar amounts of Medicare and Social Security benefits during their lifetime.
Later generations are projected to receive higher Medicare benefits than current recipients. This is primarily the result of the fact that health care spending on a per person basis will increase and also because life expectancies will continue to increase.
Social Security benefits are also expected to be higher for later birth cohorts because of this increased life expectancy. The CBO explained that payouts will be higher, because "real earnings generally grow over time." As a result "payroll taxes will be higher for later cohorts because of that growth in real earnings."
The CBO estimated the inflation-adjusted lifetime benefits and payroll taxes for various birth cohorts, and ultimately what they pay in and what will be paid out to them. (The payroll taxes are 2.9% of all taxable earnings, plus, beginning in 2013, an additional 0.9% tax on earnings over $200,000 for single taxpayers and $250,000 for married couples.)According to the CBO's projections, over their lifetime, "beneficiaries born in the 1940s would, on average, receive about $160,000 in benefits (net of premiums paid) and pay about $45,000 in payroll taxes (both figures are expressed in 2013 dollars). Those born in the 1950s would receive, on average, about $205,000 in benefits and pay about $60,000 in payroll taxes, CBO estimates. And those born in the 1960s would receive, on average, about $270,000 in benefits and pay about $65,000 in payroll taxes."
Medicare beneficiaries, in each cohort, would also pay other taxes to the federal government over their lifetime, and a portion of those other taxes would be used to finance Medicare benefitsbut it would be difficult to delineate and itemize these amounts.

Wausau Paper reports first-quarter loss, reversing a year-ago profit
Wausau Paper Corp. reported a first-quarter loss Monday as the Mosinee-based papermaker continues to restructure itself on multiple fronts under pressure from its biggest shareholder.
Wausau Paper lost $29 million, or 60 cents a share, compared with net income of $9.76 million, or 20 cents, in the year-earlier quarter. Sales fell 13% to $187.9 million from $216.2 million.
The company, which is one of Wisconsin's oldest paper makers, has rapidly been closing and selling paper mills. It also sold all its commercial timberlands, which once were the source of its pulp.
Wausau Paper has been under pressure for two years from Manhattan hedge fund Starboard Value LP, its largest single shareholder. In the view of Starboard, the only Wausau Paper mills with worthwhile profits are in Kentucky and Ohio. They produce the sort of paper toweling used in public restrooms.
Even after all the restructuring costs are stripped out, Wausau Paper reported a loss of $1.7 million, or 4 cents a share, in the recent quarter compared with first quarter 2012 earnings, excluding discontinued operations and special items of $4.8 million, or 10 cents.
In the latest quarter, Wausau Paper announced it would shut its mill in Brainerd, Minn., but only after investing millions to upgrade the mill. It announced plans to sell its final two remaining mills in Wisconsin to a private equity firm. And it formally announced that it will focus only on towel and tissue paper, mainly at its mill in Kentucky.
Starboard also wants Wausau Paper to close its headquarters in Mosinee, which would eliminate any presence for the company in Wisconsin.
Before earnings were released, Wausau Paper shares closed down 6 cents at $10.17.
