This application is a continuation-in-part of our U.S. patent application Ser. No. 269,149, filed Jun. 30, 1994 [140-007] now U.S. Pat. No. 5,542,121.
There is a need in certain areas of endeavor for the use of a protective covering for the forearm. Such a device is usefully employed by, for example, artists, craftsmen, cooks and other food processors, medical personnel and the like, who handle liquid or semi-liquid materials. There are examples in the prior art of devices useful for this purpose. However, insofar as we are aware, all of the prior art devices suffer from certain shortcomings, either in the area of performance, high cost, difficulty or inconvenience of use, or combinations of one or more of the foregoing.
In our above mentioned copending application, a simple, highly effective, reversible forearm cover device is disclosed, which is inexpensive to produce, conveniently dispensed and utilized, and easily disposed of. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, a protective web material is formed of a composite laminate comprised of a plastic film on one side and paper toweling on the other. Two such composite webs are arranged face-to-face, with the plastic film layers on the inside, and the composite web laminates are joined together along spaced-apart, strip-like bonding areas by heat sealing or otherwise. The strip-like bonding areas extend along generally transverse lines to form successive sections of flat tubular form. Lines of weakness extend transversely along the bonding areas, to enable successive flat tubular sections to be torn free of an otherwise continuous supply of the web material. Preferably, individual tubular sections of the material are formed of trapezoidal configuration, narrower at one end than the other, to conform better to typical forearm contours. Where desired, elastic or expandable bands may be provided separately, for securing the forearm protectors snugly to the wearer during use.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the forearm protector is constructed in a way that enables it to be employed alternatively as a forearm-protector, as a mat, or as a bib. In this respect, the device of the invention comprises opposed, preferably trapezoidally shaped sections, of a film-paper toweling composite laminate. The two sections are heat sealed with the film sides in face-to-face relation and with the heat seal bond along one side being of narrow width and/or weakly bonded. The arrangement is such that, if the user prefers to employ the unit as a mat or a bib, the initially tubular unit is opened by separating the heat seal along the weakly bonded edge, allowing the two sections, still joined along one edge, to be opened to a generally flat configuration.
Secondary lines of weakness, initially formed along the opened edges of the device can be partially torn free, extending from the bottom edges of the bib to a point near the upper edges thereof. These partially separated strips form convenient flexible tie strips for securing the article around the user's neck, in the form of a bib. The construction of the unit according to the invention enables it to be conveniently used in an alternative manner, as a forearm protector, a protective mat, or as a bib, as the user chooses.
The device of the invention may be easily dispensed in continuous roll form, or from a box. If desired, the protector devices may be pre-cut and dispensed individually.
For a more complete understanding of the above and other features and advantages of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention and to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a representative view of a forearm protector according to one preferred form of the invention as applied over a user's forearm.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a roll supply of forearm protectors of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross sectional view as taken generally on line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a further enlargement of a section of FIG. 3 illustrating the laminated construction of a preferred material used in the invention.
FIG. 5 is a perspective illustration of a device according to the invention employed with a box style of dispenser.
FIGS. 6-8 are a sequence of views illustrating the manner in which the forearm protector of the invention is applied in a reverse or inside-out orientation.
FIG. 9 is a plan view of a roll supply of another preferred form of the invention, useful alternatively as a forearm protector, a mat, or a bib.
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a single article detached from the roll supply of FIG. 10 showing a single article in its initial, tubular form.
FIG. 11 is a plan view of the article of FIG. 10 in an opened-up configuration, in which it can be used as a flat protector, such as a mat, or further prepared for use as a bib.
FIG. 12 is a plan view of the article of FIG. 11, with lateral strips along the outside edges partially torn free, to form flexible ties, converting the article to a bib.
FIG. 13 is an enlarged, fragmentary, cross sectional view as taken generally on line 13--13 of FIG. 10.
FIG. 14 is a cross sectional view of the section of FIG. 13, with the respective layers of material opened up to the configurations of FIGS. 11 or 12.
Referring now to the drawing, and initially to FIGS. 1-4, the reference numeral 10 designates generally a forearm protector according to one aspect of the invention, which preferably is in the form of a tapered, tubular sleeve, open at each end 11, 12 and adapted to be received over the hand and forearm of the user. To advantage, the tubular sleeve 10 is formed of a laminated material, with a thin layer of moisture impermeable plastic (preferably thermoplastic) film 13 on the inside and a layer of absorbent paper toweling or similar material 14 on the outside. The laminated material desirably is produced in the form of continuous webs 15, 16.
As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of continuous webs 15, 16 is arranged in superposed relation, with the respective thermoplastic webs in face-to-face contact. The respective webs 15, 16 are then joined together from one edge 17 to the other edge 18 along narrow, generally transverse strip-like bonding areas 19. Typically, the joining is accomplished by heat sealing techniques, although suitable adhesive or solvent bonding, for example, could also be employed. Desirably, successive bonding areas 19 along the length of the web material are oriented at opposite shallow angles with respect to a transverse axis, such that each section 20, between successive sealing areas 19, is in the form of a trapezoid.
In the illustration of FIG. 2, the composite web material is supplied in a continuous roll form, and lines of weakness 21, such as lines of perforation, score lines or the like, are provided more or less centrally within the bonding areas 19, to allow individual segments 20 to be torn away from the roll supply, much the same as individual paper towels are torn away from their supply rolls.
Preferably, the individual composite webs 15, 16 are formed by laminating the respective webs of absorbent toweling and plastic film over their full surfaces. However, where preferred, the webs may be bonded together in limited areas, possibly only at the edge bands 19.
The product of FIG. 2 is utilized by tearing off the endmost segment 20 and opening the tubular section formed thereby to the configuration of a tapered open tube of generally circular cross section. The hand of the user is inserted into the larger end of the tapered tube and passed entirely through the tube until the sleeve is positioned on the user's forearm as shown in FIG. 1. Typically the spacing between successive bonding areas 19 is such that the tapered sleeve formed thereby is large enough to fit over a relatively large forearm. Accordingly, the supply of protective sleeves may include elastic or expandable bands 22, one or more of which can be slipped over the protective sleeve to hold it in position on the user's forearm.
In the form of the invention shown in FIG. 5, a continuous web-form supply of detachable sleeve sections 20 is supplied in a dispensing box 23, instead of a continuous roll 24 as in FIG. 2. In general, however, the utilization is the same as with the roll supply of FIG. 2, in that individual sections 20 are torn off of the web supply along predefined lines of weakness 21 formed in the strip-like bonding areas 19.
Where desired, the individual sleeve sections 20 may be precut from the web supply and furnished in a dispenser box 23, much in the manner of box-dispensed facial tissues, for example.
In a modified and particularly advantageous form of the invention, shown in FIGS. 9-14, the reversible protective sleeve device is constructed and configured to have additional functions as a bib or a mat. The modified device is formed of opposed upper and lower composite webs 30, 31, each comprising an inner layer 32 of thermoplastic material and an outer layer 33 of paper-toweling or similar material. As in the case of the previously described embodiment, the upper web sections 30 are joined with the lower web sections 31 by bonding of the respective thermoplastic layers 32 along marginal edge portions 34, 35. Conveniently, a plurality of articles thus formed are joined along lines of weakness 36, 37 to form a continuous web supply, fed from a roll 38, from which individual articles may be detached along successive lines of weakness 36, 37.
To accommodate the shape of the forearm, the individual sections, separated by the lines of weakness 36, 37, are of trapezoidal form defining a wider end 39 for reception over the upper forearm and a narrower end 40 for reception over the wrist portion of the user. The respective lines of weakness 36, 37 may be oriented as shown in FIG. 9, in which the lines 36 are perpendicular to the length of the web, while the lines 37 are disposed at an acute angle, or they may be arranged as shown in FIG. 2, where the lines of weakness at opposite sides are symmetrically convergently oriented.
When an individual article 41 is detached from the roll supply, it may be utilized in the same manner as reflected in FIGS. 1 and 8 of the drawing, for example, as a forearm protector. In the article of FIGS. 9-14, however, there are additional features which provide for optional alternative uses of the article. Thus, in the article of FIGS. 9-14, the bonding of the respective upper and lower composite webs along the edge margins 34 is formed with a relatively low bond strength, such that the respective upper and lower web sections may be separated along the weakly bonded margin without tearing or destruction of the individual web sections 30, 31. The bond along the opposite side edge margin 35 is intended to be permanent, and may be made as strong as desired.
For one alternate usage, the upper and lower webs 30, 31 may be separated along the weakly bonded margin 34 and folded open along the opposite margin 35, as reflected in FIGS. 11 and 14. When thus opened, the article may be conveniently employed as a protective mat, for example, with the thermoplastic film layer 32 facing upward or downward, as the user desires.
Additionally, the article of FIGS. 9-14 is provided with secondary lines of weakness extending along the weakly bonded margin 34. The secondary lines of weakness 42, 43 are spaced inward from and are generally parallel to the primary line of weakness 36 along which the article is separated from the continuous supply. The secondary lines of weakness extend from the wider end 39 of the article to a point near but spaced from the narrow end 40. Desirably, the secondary lines of weakness have short portions 44, 45 extending inwardly at right angles, parallel to the narrower end of the article, and terminating, if desired, at a reinforcement 46.
As shown in FIG. 12, the secondary lines of weakness 42, 45 define separable flexible tie strips 47, 48, which the user may separate from the body of the article by tearing along the secondary lines of weakness, in the manner shown in FIG. 12. These tie strips can be secured behind the neck of the user, to form a bib. They also can be secured in belt loops or the like, to form a small apron-like article.
The reversible protective sleeve device of the invention is useful to great advantage by individuals dealing with liquid or semi-liquid materials. Where there is frequent need to wipe the hands and/or utensils with a minimum interruption in the ongoing work, the absorbent paper layer provides a convenient medium. By way of example, excessive liquid can be removed from a small paintbrush by simply wiping it across a forearm protected with one of the protecting sleeves. The liquid materials is readily absorbed by the outer surface of paper toweling, while the plastic liner prevents penetration to the inside of the sleeve.
For certain tasks, such as pottery throwing, certain cooking operations, etc., it may be unnecessary, or perhaps even undesirable to provide for liquid absorption on the exterior of the protective sleeve. In such cases, the sleeve can be utilized in a reverse orientation, as shown in FIGS. 6-8. For this manner of use, the sleeve protector, in its normal, paper outside orientation, is applied over the forearm small end first, which is opposite to the normal application. An elastic or expandable band 22 is applied over the sleeve end 12, substantially as shown in FIG. 7, causing the end of the sleeve protector to be lightly gripped about the wrist or the outer forearm of the user. Next, the large diameter (outer) end of the sleeve protector is gripped and drawn over the forearm, in the manner shown in FIG. 8. In the process, the sleeve protector is turned inside out, with the absorbent paper layer on the inside and the water impervious plastic layer on the outside.
The modified form of the article, as shown in FIGS. 9-14, the utility is significantly enhanced by providing for alternative uses of the article as a mat or bib. By providing for a weakly bonded margin along one side edge, the user has the option of separating the layers at the weakly bonded interface and opening up the two layers into a generally flat configuration. To particular advantage, the modified article is formed along the weakly bonded edge margin with secondary lines of weakness which, when torn, form flexible tie strips which remain anchored at one end of the article. The tie strips can be secured around the neck to form a bib or may be suitably secured at the waist to form a small apron, for example. The opened-up article can also be employed conveniently as a mat, for protecting surfaces from wet materials.
Although a laminated sleeve material comprised of paper toweling and thermoplastic film is ideal for most uses, it may be appropriate in some cases to utilize single materials, such as the film alone or the paper toweling alone, depending upon the service for which the device is intended to be used.
The device of the invention is highly simplified, economical to manufacture, easy to use and easy to dispose of. The materials can be produced in continuous forms by joining of separate laminates in face-to-face relation, along narrow, generally transverse strip-like bonding areas, with lines of weakness being provide along the bonding areas to accommodate separation of individual sections at the time of use.
It should be understood, of course, that the specific forms of the invention herein illustrated and described are intended to be representative only, as certain changes may be made therein without departing from the clear teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following appended claims in determining the full scope of the invention.

Things We Don't Know We Don't Know
Backwaters Press, Mar 1, 2006 - Poetry - 88 pages
"Whether turning his attention to kiwifruit, "Wild Kingdom's" Marlin Perkins, the Strategic Air Command Museum, or lovers who with luck may come to resemble a no-expiration-date snack cake, Mason sheds some of his Nebraskan light on our universally human proceedings." --David Clewell, author of "Now We're Getting Somewhere."
What people are saying - Write a review
Several years ago my dad sent me some of Matt Mason's cow poems (available at http://www.roguescholars.com/faustian.html scroll down to "Martyrdom of the Cows"). I was charmed -- who wouldn't be -- by Mason's ability to conjure major themes and potent imagery out of cows shot on freeways, cows tumbling into fault crevices, cows escaping from slaughterhouses, cows turned into billions and billions of burgers. One poem from the cow cycle -- "The Funny Poet Renounces Funny Poetry And Concentrates On Making The World A Better, More Beautiful Place (In Which He Has Sex More Often)" -- is featured in this collection; its title really captures a lot about Mason's poetry. He is funny, but also passionately political. His language can be piercingly beautiful. His love poems can be devastatingly sexy. I loved "Wood," "Melodrama of A Poet Watching the Sky for Storms" and "Love in a Drought Year" most of all, but nearly every poem had a phrase or a line or an image in it that made me smile or gave me a twinge of sadness. Mason is a long-time slam poet and one can tell: these poems are very much in the vernacular, begging to be heard rather than just read. Maybe some day I'll get to hear him perform in person; in the meantime, perhaps I'll work on memorizing some of his work myself.

True Love Comes From WithinPosted by: | Comments
When I think of February, I think about love– and the fact that it is also my son's and my birthday, and National Heart Health Month!
In my opinion, true love is something that unfortunately many people aren't experiencing lately. There are so many distractions and expectations, obligations and tasks to tend to every day. With everything going on in your life, do you pause, take in some deep breaths and think about what true love means to you?
True love comes from within. You need to love yourself first in order to give love to others. When was the last time you looked in the mirror and told yourself, "I love you" or "I love ____ about you"? In our busy lives, sometimes we forget to love ourselves, to practice self care and be kind to ourselves.
I encourage you to take good care of your mind, your body, and your spirit. You can begin that process by being very mindful of the thoughts you think, the feelings you feel and the actions you take or do not take. Do your body a favor by eating small nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day and drinking lots of water. Participate in a fun physical activity to get your body moving. Nurture your spirit, whether you believe in a higher power or not. Do something that enriches and fulfills your soul.
Start each day by acknowledging something you like about yourself. As you go about your daily activities, tell those you love and care about that you love them. Love comes in all sizes and shapes. When you are out and about, you may meet some people that you do not know– say something nice to them! Give them a compliment! Or simply say, "Have a nice day!" You may have made their day. There are many people out there that live by themselves and are not in contact with loved ones or who may have lost loved ones. I encourage you to perform random acts of kindness everyday.
Come from your heart in all relationships, whether close or not. When you fill your heart with love, you have more love to give.
I want to wish you a happy Valentine's Day and National Heart Health Month! Wishing you all the best!

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. "— Martin Luther King, Jr.
Have you, like so many people, made any "New Year's Resolutions" only to find that you don't know where to begin, or maybe you've set out to start something new and can't seem to prioritize your time and actions? The word "resolution" according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary states: "the act or process of resolving: as a: the act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones; b: the act of answering: solving c: the act of determining… and so much more!
- Write down "why" you want to do/accomplish each thing and how it will improve your life in a positive way. Also, think outside yourself and how it may affect those around you! When you break it down in that manner, it will seem much more manageable. Take one step at a time, and when you complete each step, acknowledge it by celebrating!
- taking a break and dancing to your favorite music, or
- going for a long walk in pleasant surroundings outdoors, or
- calling a friend or relative you haven't spoken to in a while, or
- treating yourself to a fancy coffee or tea!

Stressed During The Holidays?Posted by: | Comments
Introducing "Women Transforming Women"! A Community of Professional Women!Posted by: | Comments
Several years ago, I had an epiphany — I had a vision of putting together an inspiring program for women from all walks of life! The concept was and still is a deep passion for inspiring and motivating women to transform their lives in a positive way! I founded and created "Women Transforming Women" (WTW), which is a networking community explicitly for adult women to meet up for workshops, seminars and groups to mastermind, educate, motivate and inspire each other to discover their strengths, their values and their passions!
Do you feel like you are holding yourself back? Are you living your passion and being true to yourself? This community can help you discover and/or enhance your inner qualities through self care, health and wellness, beauty tips and techniques to tap into how to live your best life!
As the founder of this networking community, I do believe that every woman has the potential to bring out the best in themselves. Being sexy, savvy and successful is something that can heighten a woman's self-esteem and self confidence. It can also improve relationships and ultimately bring more satisfaction into your life!
I am launching this women's movement with a free workshop on Saturday, February 4th, 2017 from 9:00am-12:00 noon! Join the movement and experience the growth of this community! It all begins with you taking this first step!
Family Dynamics During the Holidays!Posted by: | Comments
Leading up to the holidays brings a lot of joy, but also a lot of stress at times. Those of us who host holiday gatherings want everything to be perfect and everyone to be happy. That is virtually impossible! Many times we plan for a certain amount of guests that say they are attending, but when the day arrives… they are unable to make it. This can bring a lot of disappointment and hurt. We have to realize that things really do come up and we should not take it personally.
This has happened to me on a few occasions and I have to admit that I was disappointed, but I got over it. We enjoyed the time and the food with whomever was there. As a mom, I sometimes have to put my own feelings aside and just let everyone be. When my kids were little, they knew that on certain holidays, we were going to Mama and Papa's house in Los Angeles. It was quite an excursion- getting the kids ready and the long drive through traffic. Even though those times were stressful, they were also times of memories that will be cherished by all of us forever.
The holidays may be the only times that some family members get to see each other. You never know what life will bring. Every day is precious. In my humble opinion, getting together throughout the holidays should be cherished moments to treasure. I encourage each and everyone of you to reach out to family, friends, and strangers and spend time with them, giving of yourself and holding every moment dear now and throughout the entire year!
When Your Life Throws You a Curve Ball!Posted by: | Comments
As we go through life many of us, myself included, make plans. Even though everything is scheduled on the calendar and you have your days all set– WHACK, a curve ball hits you!
Just a few weeks ago, as my husband and I were having a nice quiet dinner at home, I had just taken a bite of food and a sharp pain went shooting up into my mouth and jaw. I dropped my fork and knife, ran upstairs, rinsed my mouth out, flossed and brushed my teeth and looked in the mirror. O.M.G.! One of my teeth was split in half!
The next morning I called my dentist and he took me in on an emergency basis, removing the broken half of the tooth. He was hoping the tooth would be salvageable, but it wasn't. He referred me to an oral surgeon and I made an appointment. For a few days I could only eat soft foods and only chew on one side. Soon after, I starting getting a shooting pain on the other side of my jaw! I called my dentist who took me on an emergency basis again and said it was my last remaining wisdom tooth– the good news was that the oral surgeon could extract both of them at the same time!
The bright side of this whole experience is that my husband and I got to spend a whole day together and, although he has always been warm and caring, he was so nurturing making sure that I had everything I needed to follow the doctor's protocol. This experience actually forced me to relax and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, which for me is almost an impossible feat! I have always been energetic, so this was a challenge! I also choose to see the underlying blessing of having both teeth removed at the same time instead of having this experience twice!
So in conclusion the old saying, "look for the silver lining," in situations that feel like a curve ball has been thrown your way, rings true!
With all of the hustle and bustle of summer, do you sometimes feel like your mind and your body are going in different directions? You may be trying to balance work, kids, vacations– and then, where is the time for you? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Are these feelings keeping you from truly enjoying summertime? If so, step back for a few moments. I suggest you look at your calendar and block out 10-15 minutes per day to sit still or recline, relax, close your eyes and take in some deep breaths.
Once you close your eyes… Imagine that there is a beautiful, comforting, healing light shining on top of your head. Relaxing the top of your head, your neck, the back of your head, your facial muscles, your upper, middle and lower back, your abdominal area, your shins, calves, ankles and tops of your feet, the soles of your feet and toes. Imagine your body releasing tensions, anxieties and stresses. Now, think about one of the most pleasant places that you have ever been to. Take in three deep breaths and bring up the pictures in your mind of that wonderful place– your favorite place, the feelings it brings you, the thoughts. Notice what you see, what you hear, what you smell, what you are touching, what you are thinking, what you are feeling. Now take in 3 more deep breaths. Breath in what you see, hear, taste, what you are thinking and what you are feeling. This is your mini mental vacation that allows your body to relax to instill positive thoughts and feelings which can shift and uplift your mood. When you are ready, take in some more deep breaths, breathing in deeply– coming up to 1, another deep breath up to 2, another deep breath up to 3, a deep breath up to 4 breathing in everything you experienced, and then a deep energizing breath up to 5. This is simply a mini mental vacation that you can take any time when you are in a safe place to simply relax.

Hypnotherapy & AddictionsPosted by: | Comments
It appears that many people use chemical substances such as cigarettes, marijuana, recreational drugs, alcohol and over-the-counter drugs to numb their emotional pains and discomforts but then, many times, it becomes an addiction. Alcohol seems to be the most "socially acceptable" chemical addiction that is served in many restaurants and has become a popular phenomenon in the wine-tasting industry. When I was a little girl, growing up in Los Angeles, my grandpa- an immigrant from Sicily- made homemade wine in barrels in the basement. It was only natural that the adults in the family always had a glass or two of wine with their meals. In most cultures, this is acceptable and normal, but it could also be a precursor to an addiction if abused.
Through hypnotherapy, I have been able to help and guide people of all ages to free themselves from addictive behaviors. With any chemical addiction, such as cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, heroin and alcohol, it actually takes only 72 hours for the addiction to leave the body. After 72 hours, the rest is behavior modification. Through hypnotherapy and life and mindfulness coaching, I teach my clients how to help themselves and how to create healthier, more beneficial habits so they can live a life of freedom.
Discovering My Inner ArtistPosted by: | Comments
I remember when I was in elementary school, I drew a picture of a horse's head when the teacher told us to draw a picture of an animal we liked. That was the first and last time that I felt I had artistic abilities.
My mom and dad were both artists. My mom used to sketch and use water colors designing women's clothing. My father was a sketch artist as well. When my children were in school, they both would draw and paint amazing pictures! I thank God they got the artist genes from my parents. In fact, I have one of my son's paintings in my therapy office and my daughter's painting in my living room at home. Everyone that sees them is amazed.
Over the years, I would attempt to draw figures or scenes and felt less than adequate. I then decided several months ago to try an art class. I signed up for a water colors class at a local community center and I felt that I did an "okay" job. The teacher expressed that I made a great "sky with clouds." I brought my little painting home and my husband was so proud! He said that I should continue to take art classes. That night, we had dinner with my husband's uncle who is truly an outstanding artist. When I told him that I took a water colors class. He said "Oh no, you never start with water colors– that is too hard! Try a regular painting class with acrylics."
A few months later I took a class at "Blank Canvas" in Thousand Oaks and recently celebrated a friend's birthday and painted this picture! I am inspired to continue discovering my inner artist.
Empty Nest Syndrome? Create a Life with Vitality After Your Kids Leave HomePosted by: | Comments
Are you a parent who has put your whole heart and soul into raising your children? You made sure they received the education they needed; you involved them in sports and other extra-curricular activities; you may have been a coach or mentor and now they are graduating! Many moms and dads have put so much time, effort and energy into raising their kids – which I totally honor them for – they may have even put their careers and lives on hold.
I remember those days. As a young mother, I opted to quit my job and take a break until my daughter was 6 years old and my son was 3 years old. I immersed myself into raising my kids the best way I knew how – even making homemade baby food from scratch and nursing them. Then, when they began pre-school and first grade, I needed more in my life. I started working part-time and then after 6 months, my part-time job turned into a full-time position. Although I worked 40+ hours per week, I was still as involved as I could be in my children's lives with school and sports. Looking back, I now wonder how I juggled all of that!
Are you finding yourself always juggling, trying to be everything to everyone you care about? It can sometimes be overwhelming. But then, when they are all grown up, graduating from high school and college, you realize they turned out to be wonderful adults and it was all worth it! For some parents, this may be the first time your children are living away from home and are creating their own lives.
What direction are you heading? Are you picking up where you left off in your career or beginning a new career? Maybe, you now have free time to vacation with your spouse or partner. With any of these different scenarios, having an outlet to relieve stress and anxiety is so important. Practicing self-care is vital for you and your loved ones so that you can and will make a new life for yourself, while still being an integral part of your children's lives.

Although he had been playing for years, it wasn't until the '90s that R.L. Burnside's raw electrified Delta blues was heard by a wide audience. His new fans celebrated his wild, unbridled energy, so it made sense for him to team with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the warped indie-rock band that's all about energy. However, the very purists who celebrate Burnside hate Spencer, believing that he mocks the blues. As the blistering A Ass Pocket of Whiskey proves, Spencer may not treat the blues with reverence, but he and his band capture the wild essence of juke-joint blues. And that makes them the perfect match for Burnside, who knows his history but isn't burdened by it. Together, Burnside and the Blues Explosion make raw, scintillating, unvarnished blues that positively burns.(review from Allmusic.com who gives the album 4 stars out of 5)

Daniel Kelting ~ Assistant Pastor / Music Director
Daniel grew up traveling as the son of a US Air Force Sargent. He accepted The Lord as his Savior at age five and was baptized at age seven. In high school, his family moved to Phoenix and began serving in the music ministry at a small church plant. There he developed a passion for teaching God's people to worship through reverent, beautiful music. He felt the call of God on his life while at summer camp and committed to full time ministry at age seventeen. After completing high school, Daniel obtained a BA in Bible and Christian Service with an emphasis in Pastoral Ministry from International Baptist College and Seminary in Chandler, AZ. After graduating in 2012, he married his high school sweetheart, Katie. God brought Daniel and Katie to Berean Baptist Church in the spring of 2013 where he is now serving as associate pastor of music. God has given them a love for the people of Berean, a desire to grow the congregation in Biblical worship and a special burden for the teenagers of the church. They are looking forward to helping the church grow and seeing God work in his people! In his spare time Daniel enjoys mountain biking and martial arts.
