He is director of the Coptic Magical Texts Project of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity at Claremont Graduate University, Fellow of the Jesus Seminar, and a past president of the Society of Biblical Literature (Pacific Coast). One of the foremost scholars on Gnosticism, the Nag Hammadi library, and texts about Jesus outside the New Testament, Meyer is the author of numerous books and articles on Greco-Roman and Christian religions in antiquity and late antiquity. Among his most recent books are The Gnostic Discoveries (HarperCollins, 2005), The Gnostic Gospels of Jesus (HarperCollins, 2005), The Unknown Sayings of Jesus (Shambhala, 2005), The Gospels of Mary (HarperCollins, 2004) and Secret Gospels: Essays on Thomas and the Secret Gospel of Mark (T & T Clark International, 2003).

"The publication of the Gospel of Judas within Codex Tchacos represents a significant moment for the study of religion and culture. It is a rare occurrence that a previously unknown gospel manuscript is discovered, particularly one that was mentioned in early Christian sources, and that is precisely what is the case with the Gospel of Judas. The Gospel of Judas can be dated, with some certainty, to around the middle of the second century, or perhaps even a bit before, and the materials included within it are even older. The gospel is thus an early source for our knowledge of an important mystical movement within early Christianity and Judaism, namely the Sethian gnostic school of religious thought. Further, the text provides the opportunity to evaluate, and perhaps reevaluate, the historical role of a figure—Judas Iscariot—who has been much maligned within Christianity and has been a prominent figure in the development of anti-Semitism. All in all, the Gospel of Judas sheds important light on the character of developing Christianity, and reminds us again of the rich diversity of the early church."

I just finished the first book Ender's Game, I was happy with the way it ended. I was wondering how the rest of the books in the series are?? I read a little about the second book Speaker for the Dead and it sounded ok but I was just wondering what other people thought about where the series goes. Thanks a lot!!
It's very, very different. Much more about racial tolerance, belief, faith, philosophy, politics, and AI. Those are some pretty broad topics/themes, and it doesn't handle all of them well, but it's sorta interesting.
Nothing in it is even close to the war/conflict between the humans and buggers (which many people somewhat expected). And the actual technology at play is almost irrelevant to the key events of the plot, so it's barely sci-fi, at least in that respect. Much more about the interaction and relationships between characters and certain factions.
Read Speaker for the Dead, I guess, and if you find that you're not 100% enjoying it, don't bother with the next two, since they go even further down that rabbithole.

I didn't read the others, but I've heard Ender's Shadow is pretty good. Personally, I don't like Bean so I had no interest in it.
Also, yeah, there's Ender's Shadow and that whole series which, in its own way, is also quite different from Ender's Game. The first book basically gives you the life story of Bean, and what he was doing on the Battle School. The later books then take place mostly on Earth, and are about the Battle School kids being used by various world governments (or those kids using various world governments) due to their strategic prowess.
Again, not much in common with Ender's Game. Lots of modern-day weapons, Earth-based combat and tactics, lots of global superpowers vying for dominance, some discussion of genetic engineering, etc.
There sort of just isn't any sequel to Ender's Game that is the same kind of sci-fi as it.
EDIT: For what it's worth, I read both the Speaker for the Dead stuff and the Ender's Shadow stuff back when I was in high school and just kept reading stuff if it was part of a series. Looking back on it, I didn't really enjoy either one very much. Ender's Game at least moves at a pretty fast pace compared to all of the books that follow. It also has that weird video game Ender keeps playing at the Battle School, which is given an EXCRUCIATINGLY lame explanation somewhere in the Speaker for the Dead stuff.

I should really read the rest of the Ender's series, but the ending of Ender's Game just soured me soooooo much.
It was so silly.
EDIT: Both the a plot of Ender and the b plot of the punk-ass kids back on Earth.
@BisonHero: Thanks a lot!! Does the Shadow series follow all the people that Ender was in command of at the end of book? I wouldn't mind spending more time with those characters. I guess I'll give Speaker a chance. It sounds interesting. I was trying to get into more sci-fi books. Do you have any more recommendations??
@rentfn: You spend some more time with the Battle School characters in Ender's Shadow, and it pulls the ol' "turns out Bean was doing all this super important stuff that Ender never knew about" trick. But if you read anything beyond Ender's Shadow, it introduces a bunch of new characters, and the returning characters (Bean, Petra, Peter Wiggin, Hot Soup/Han Tzu, Colonel Graff but he is less badass) are fleshed out so much and put in such a different scenario that you almost forget they're the same characters from the Battle School. It doesn't feel particularly connected to Ender's Game.
But yeah, Ender's Shadow revisits Ender's Game from a different point of view, so if you actually want to read a story about cool shit happening in space, Ender's Shadow has some of that, while basically none of the other books do. If you want to read sci-fi that is anything like Star Wars/Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica, you've pretty much already read everything Orson Scott Card has to offer in that department. And as Animasta suggests, the more you read of Orson Scott Card, the more you start to pick up on his somewhat controversial religious and political views, which are sometimes blatantly promoted in his later books.
If you wouldn't mind reading another book in the same vein, Ender's Shadow is your best option. Anything further in the Shadow series is more like a modern-military-Tom-Clancy-competing-global-superpowers thing. If you think you can handle a book with almost no direct conflict, and instead lots of discussion of morality, philosophy, cultural differences, and weird family drama, then you might enjoy Speaker for the Dead.
As for other sci-fi recommendations, it largely depends on what kind of fiction you're looking for. I let the length of this post get totally out of hand:
- Robert A. Heinlein offers some good old fashioned fun science fiction in all of his early stuff. Lots of time travel, alien invasions, colonizing other planets, etc. Then around 1960 some of his books become a little focused on his own interests. Starship Troopers is largely just about how awesome it is to be in the military and be a part of something, and it just so happens to be space military. And then Stranger in a Strange Land is about a human who comes back to Earth after being raised by aliens and is all about free love and peace and it gets really weird but good. Don't read anything he wrote from about 1980 onwards, it's mostly disappointing.
- Philip K. Dick wrote the novels that have led to just about every sci-fi blockbuster that contains any kind of mindfuck. Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, The Adjustment Bureau: all based on novels or short stories he wrote. A lot of his early stuff is more technology-based sci-fi like Minority Report, while much of his later stuff deals with characters who have a hard time figuring out whether everything around them is real or not/whether the character himself is real or not. This was an issue he dealt with personally, so it informed a lot of his writing. His last 3 or 4 novels take that to an extreme and are totally bonkers, but everything before that is varying amounts of interesting.
- I've heard a lot of good things about Spider Robinson from friends. I haven't read enough of his writing to tell you what his style is like. The only thing of his that I've read was Variable Star, which was actually a plot outline devised by Robert Heinlein years ago that he never fully wrote out, but then the book itself was written by Spider Robinson. That book is about someone who decides to be a crewmember on a giant ship sent off to colonize another solar system, and what it's like to live on a giant colony ship with the same few thousand people for a significant portion of his life. Also has some coming of age sort of stuff in it. I thought it was quite good.
- One of my friends strongly recommends Peter Watts. Watts is also a marine biologist, so the aliens in his books tend to be much more plausibly constructed than your standard Star Wars/Star Trek/Mass Effect situation where everybody is conveniently a humanoid with a weird-looking face. I've only read Watts' Blindsight, but I couldn't put it down. It's a take on the whole "first contact between man and alien" scenario that is utterly fascinating.
- Dan Simmons wrote Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion, a pair of books that are closer to a Mass Effect setting, in the sense that there are hundreds of planets settled by humans, and they have to use warp gates to get around because everything is very far apart even at lightspeed. It's hard to explain the story briefly, but the cast of characters is quite varied, and they have some very interesting experiences and backstories. Almost like sci-fi Lost, only the ending is more satisfying (though still not perfect). Also bonus points if you're an English major or plan to be one, because Simmons likes his literary references: the first book is structured very similarly to The Canterbury Tales, and one of the characters is a cloned reincarnation of the poet John Keats. A lot of other more subtle references as well.
- Frank Herbert, Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov are also highly regarded authors worth mentioning, but I've already talked for far too long, so they just get namedropped.
I don't really keep up with a lot of modern sci-fi, so there are probably a ton of authors I left out that are also writing good sci-fi these days. Maybe I'll send Dave Snider a PM. He seems like a guy who has opinions on what sci-fi you should read.

Canada edges Czechs at worlds
By QMI Agency
Team Canada has an excellent chance at winning their division at the world hockey championship.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner scored the game-winning goal 6:55 into the third, leading Canada to a 2-1 win Sunday over Czech Republic in Stockholm. The win locked up at least a berth in the quarter-finals for the Canadians.
Winger Wayne Simmonds of the Philadelphia Flyers opened the scoring for Canada on the power-play at 11:01 of the first, tipping in a shot from 'Canes captain Eric Staal.
The Czechs replied with less than three minutes left in the frame on a goal by Petr Koukal.
Flyers defenceman Luke Schenn was thrown out of the game after receiving a five-minute major and a game misconduct for hitting Czech forward Zbynek Irgl from behind during the second period. Irgl left the game, but returned minutes later.
Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith stopped 30 shots in the victory, while Ondrej Pavelec of the Winnipeg Jets took the loss.
Canada's final preliminary game is Monday against winless Slovenia, who have been outscored 23-9.

UK Immigration Law
Have UK Immigration Law Questions? Get Answers Now.
Have you cohabited with your partner? If so please state how long?
Do you intend to marry?
If you partner wishes to come here to settlement permanently without having married then you must have cohabited together in a relationship for a period of two years immediately before making the application. Obviously you will not be able to do this anytime soon.
If once you are divorced you are to marry
You can either marry in NZ and then apply directly for a spouses visa. Once application, one application fee.
Alternatively, you can apply for a fiance visa so that he can come here specifically for the purpose of marrying you. Once married she would then have to apply for a spouses visa (settlement). Two applications, two application fees.
The eligibility criteria is largely similar for both applications.The advantage is that if your fiance visa is refused then you are not married. If you marry and you spouses visa application is refused initially and then on appeal then you are stuck being married but in different countries.
Here is the criteria you would need to fulfill for a fiance visa, as I say the criteria is largely the same for a spouses visa. If you meet this you will almost certainly not be refused a spouses visa:-
She will also have to pass and english language test showing she has a basic command of spoken and listening English. She can find out approved test providers in his area by contacting the UK embassy nearest to him.
You will need to apply for fiance/spouses visa using form VAF4 which is available for download from the UKBA website
You should consider instrucitng a immigration solicitor to prepare an application for you (whichever way you decide to do it). You can find solicitors via:-
Alternatively she can apply for visitor's visas, but these are only valid for 6 months and she cannot work (paid or unpaid) whilst she is on a visitor's visa.
If this has been useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.Kind regards,Tom
She cannot apply for a fiance visa when she is here on a visitor's visa - a term of the visitor's visa is that she must return to NZ within 6 months. They are strict about this and they would say that she has to return to NZ to make her application for a fiance visa.
If you are visiting here then you could go and see an immigration solicitor with your supporting documents and ask that they prepare the application for your wife to take upon her return to NZ so that she could submit straight away. Aside from that there is not a great deal you can do when she is here visiting.
If she is a NZ national then this is on the list of countries the UKBA considers to be english speaking:-
I believe this exempts her from taking the test but I would call the UKBA and confirm this with them directly before submitting her application.

Herbed Steak with Arugula and Potatoes
Although this dinner is free of gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts, no one who eats it will feel deprived.
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, October 2011
- 1 pound fingerling or other small potatoes
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak, patted dry
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 6 ounces baby arugula (6 cups)
Heat broiler with rack in second highest position. In a medium pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water over high. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer until tender when pierced with a knife, 8 minutes. Drain potatoes; halve lengthwise. Place steak on a broiler-proof rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons oil, rosemary, and garlic, then pour over steak, turning to coat. Broil until steak is medium-rare, 7 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Meanwhile, in pot, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 8 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Add potatoes and arugula; toss to combine. Serve with steak.

Exercise for Anxiety
Cooling Our Inner Heat Naturally
Newsweek says anti-depressants may not work for many of us ... might as well try exercise!
I promised you last time we'd look at each of the seven self-care maintenance steps I've learned can keep us healthy and thriving. This seven-step recipe is the fruit of nearly 30 years of experience in the low-tech, high-touch healing biz.
Exercise is Step #1.
When I'm not completely snowed with work I try to get out every morning for a brisk 30 minute power walk up and down the low hills in my neighborhood. I charge up those hills as fast as I can without running. I find my days are much more focused and productive when I do ... especially when I'm going through stressful times.
And who isn't these days?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine stress is said to be a form of inner "heat." Heat thins blood, the home of spirit ... and leaves spirit agitated and restless, like someone living in a home with broken windows and a leaking roof. Heat causes skin breakouts and rashes. It disturbs our sleep. Left to its own devices heat has a tendency to rise. Tempers flare. Angry words rise up and spill out; we get aggressive verbally, professionally, sexually . Our colloquialism "hot-blooded" describes this pretty well. If we internalize the heat it can leave us depressed and anxious.
It was interesting to see that the February 8 issue of Newsweek reported on the controversy swirling around the use of anti-depressants in our society today. Americans are the most medicated folks in the world. And now here comes a new study showing most patients on anti-depressants don't get any more benefit than they would from a sugar pill. Seriously depressed individuals seem to get a mood boost ... but most of the patients on anti-depressants suffer from milder forms of malaise, and for them the pills don't seem to do much, according to the study.
(As a side note ... I've learned from experience that alcohol and SSRI anti-depressants don't mix well at all. Booze impedes the liver's processing of serotonin breakdown by-products. The behavior that results is angry, paranoid ... little things get blown up into crises. Innocent events get interpreted as attacks. If you or someone you know is doing this ... get in touch.)
So what does all this have to do with exercise?
If we get our hearts pumping and our lungs breathing deeply for 15-20 minutes a day, not only do we keep our arteries flexible and our blood pressure lower, our muscles stronger and our energy higher, but we also clear our minds. Some say brisk exercise is one of the best generators of endorphins, the same natural opiates that the body produces when it gets acupuncture. Endorphins are natural mood elevators and ... remember ... stress hormones age us rapidly. So when I take my morning power walk I'm doing myself at least two favors ... I'll get more done that day, and I'll get old more slowly, too.
In terms of Chinese medicine I'm cooling the heat. Breathing deeply builds yin, and strong yin helps us sleep better, helps our minds and spirits stay calm. Most of us in modern society are full of heat from the toxins in our air, food, water and surroundings. We're full of heat because we push ourselves too hard, too long. We're full of heat because our most important relationships can be so challenging these days.
So I've long told my yin-deficient, heat-addled patients that the best thing they can do for themselves ... at least as good as anything I can do for them ... is to find a hill nearby and take a good brisk walk up it every day. Maybe you should join us?


text: http://thelandryhat.com/2013/02/01/which-big-name-free-agent-will-dallas-sign/ Since the Pro Bowl is over, and Dallas is obviously not in the Super Bowl (big surprise right?) there are only a few topics people can really discuss. Some of these topics have been beaten until they are bloody and lying motionless on the side of the road. Others have so much intrigue surrounding them that one can offer a multitude of possible outcomes and still have things to talk about. The one thing everyone wonders every year is whom are the Cowboys going to bring into the fold when the free agency bell rings? With the hiring of defensive pioneer Monte Kiffin, and the subsequent switch from a 3-4 base defense to a 4-3, the free agency topic presents a completely new angle outside of the normal who's who chitchat. Now we need to analyze the current personnel and see if they fit the new scheme. With all that being said, here are some of the free agents that intrigue me, as the March 12 kick-off grows nearer and nearer.

I tried to install the Franklin theme (compatible with WP 3.9.0) after my WP autoupdated to 3.9.1. I got the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function edd_get_timezone_id() in /home/eribei/beta.ideated.io/wp-content/themes/franklin-wordpress-theme-1.5.7/franklin/functions.php on line 487
I'm concerned that if I install a theme and WP pushes auto updates my theme will frequently break. I'm hosting with Dreamhost. I know I can self host to solve this problem but I would rather not unless absolutely necessary.
Please let me know if you've encountered a similar problem and what solution you found. I haven't found an option to turn off the auto updates from my host or go back a version in WP but if that is something someone has done that would be good information. I'd be interested to know if the Envato themes get updated frequently enough to stay current with the WP updates.
edd_get_timezone_id is a function in the easy digital download plugin. Do you have that installed?
I did not; that fixed it! Thanks!

Re: Over/Under sports betting lines.
You can generally bet on football games in one of two ways. On either team and on the total points.
A bookie generally charges 10% 'vig' or 'juice' on the bet. So you pay $110 to put $100 on the Ravens for example. The bookie keeps the $10. Since football betting is paid out 1:1, you will win $100 on your bet ($200 back). Therefore ideally, the bookie wants to pay the winners with the money from the losers so he needs equal betting on both sides while he banks the vig.
But, football teams are rarely equal. If the Lions were playing the Patriots for example, more people would bet on the Patriots who would likely win. In this case, the bookie would lose out big time paying all winners who bet on the Pats. So, the bookie offers a line. He handicaps the game by giving one team a few points up front. In this case, he may give the Lions 7 points. Maybe 10. The Line would be shown as 'Patriots -7'.
Now, if you bet on the Patriots, they have to win by more than 7. If they win by 3, or 5 you lose. If you bet on the Lions, they have to lose by no more than 7 (or win of course).
Team stats and performance have a lot to do with setting the line but other factors such as team popularity can affect the line. The Steelers for example have a huge fanbase all over the country and the bookies understand that a lot of bets are placed (without much thought) on them regardless of the line.
If you go to a site like www.bodog.com for example, you can watch the bookies adjust the line throughout the week as they try to equalise the betting.
Many people don't understand this. For example, when a team that has a big points spread loses, you will hear people mutter how the bookies lost their asses but so long as the lines are set correctly, the bookie doesn't care who wins - he pays the winners with the loser's cash
Similarly, the over/under bet is whether or not you think the total score (both teams added together) will be over or under the number given.
Again, the number is picked to ideally have equal people bet on either side of the line.
Maybe some more seasoned gamblers can chime in but that is how I understand it :)

VENKY'S have made significant progress in their attempts to bring in a new senior football executive at Blackburn Rovers – in a move that leaves Shebby Singh's role at the club unclear.
The owners have been lining up the possibility of bringing a new board member into the club and it is understood that they have now held discussions with a potential candidate.
Significantly, Venky's are believed to have given indications that Singh will not be involved in football affairs at the club.
The new man is set to take that brief, working closely with manager Gary Bowyer.
Rovers' global advisor has been away from England since travelling to Pune in early April, insisting he has been advising the owners on club matters.
But Singh has not been closely involved in transfer business this summer, with Bowyer working with managing director Derek Shaw on plans for his squad.
Previous plans for Singh to return to Ewood were cancelled and staff at the club still do not know if he will be back.
He remains in India and is understood to have indicated that he is unaware of any changes that would affect his own position at the club.
Likewise Shaw is thought to be in the dark over any potential boardroom changes. Shaw's own future at Rovers was thrown back into uncertainty when boardroom ally Paul Agnew was dismissed two weeks ago, but the managing director has since continued as normal in his role.
It is almost two months since Venky's started to line up a new board member to lead the football decision making at Ewood Park. They were thought to have a name in mind, who had experience in English football and would be an external appointment.

The man has won five Super Bowl titles, three with the Dallas Cowboys and two with the San Francisco 49ers. When he left the 49ers for the Cowboys, it changed the power structure of the NFC. Somehow, Haley wasn't elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Instead, two other men with Cowboys' ties, Larry Allen and Bill Parcells, will get to make a speech in Canton, Ohio. What about Haley? He finished his career with 100.5 career sacks, was a five-time Pro Bowler and a first-team All-Pro twice. A dominant force. Haley has been a finalist for the Hall of Fame four times, including this year, but has never garnered enough votes to get in.

At a time when there is discussion about the winter fuel allowance for senior citizens, it would be appropriate to recall the very valuable work that Malcolm Wicks carried out for those suffering from fuel poverty. His study Old and Cold: Hypothermia and Social Policy highlighted this important issue, and I recall meeting him to discuss this acute problem for so many elderly people, before he entered the Commons.
Any form of assistance, apart from the means-tested and totally inadequate cold weather payments, was rejected out of hand by the Tories; the winter fuel allowance was brought in very shortly after Labour won the 1997 election.
On more general matters, I have rarely found anyone coming to the house with such substance combined with genuine modesty as Malcolm. His personality certainly did not change during the 20 years he spent there, and he was undoubtedly a fine credit to the parliamentary party and the Labour movement.

GSD and Non GSD of the Year 2015
What the site is about
BIGGSD is a voluntarily run virtual rescue organisation helping to rehome dogs in the UK and Ireland.
Although BIGGSD was created by German Shepherd Rescue Surrey, the funding of BIGGSD & German Shepherd Rescue are separate and financially each works independently of the other.
The principal aim of BIGGSD is to help rehome German Shepherd dogs in the UK & Ireland and this is done mainly by:
Making people aware of the dogs in need, at rescue centers, dog pounds, other rescue organisations and with private individuals
Bringing particular attention to the plight of dogs who are under immediate threat of being put to sleep (pts)
Helping to fund the kennelling, fostering & transport costs whenever possible via the BIGGSD fund
Bringing German Shepherd dog loving people together through this board as a community
Helping any other breed or crossbreed dog too, to find a safe, secure and loving home whenever possible
Offering a list of homecheckers, volunteers & fosterers that are members on the site who can help rescues & private individuals whenever possible and providing the ability to request help too.
Providing areas on the board that include; Transport requests, Behaviour, Health & Training advice, Walks & Events and Supplier recommendations
Having BIGGSD branded items for sale and a paypal donation facility that help to provide the necessary funding that is needed to help dogs
BIGGSD is administered and moderated by a group of individuals who give their free time voluntarily with no payment
The BIGGSD Fund
The fund exists to help pay for kenneling, transport and veterinary fees for dogs in urgent need. A summary of how funds have been spent is posted on the forum from time to time.

The Helen Bernstein structure on Fountain Ave contains primarily tandem spots and, during the 9AM and 12PM gatherings, is reserved exclusively for first-time visitors, families with children up to 5th grade, and individuals with disabilities. The second lot, on St. Andrews Pl, has more open spots for general parking.

You can also find our lost and found here.
Our coffee/tea tent is located nearby. Oh, and if you forgot your Bible, you can borrow one at the entrance of the auditorium on your way into service.
We invite you to join us for pre-service prayer every Sunday morning in the Helen Bernstein library at 8:20AM. During this time, we ask God to work in the hearts and lives of the people in attendance that day.
Our prayer team is also available during musical worship after each Sunday message. Pastors are available for questions and prayer at the front of the stage immediately following each service.
For your convenience, prayer requests can also be texted to our prayer team during services and throughout the week at 323.332.6891.
In RLA Kids, we want to partner with parents in making disciples of Jesus who love God, one another, and our city. Our volunteers work hard to create a safe, fun, and inviting space for kids to hear the good news of Jesus. RLA Kids is available at our 9AM or 12PM gatherings for children up to 5th grade; when you arrive, you can check in your children at the RLA Kids welcome tent in the courtyard.
Our Nursing Moms room is near the main auditorium and available during all three gatherings. Just ask any of our volunteers to point you in the right direction. In the room, you'll find a live video feed of the service, cozy rocking chairs, and a changing table for your little one.
RLA Youth seeks to encourage junior high and high school students in their knowledge of the gospel and in their relationship with God through local, weekly discipleship as well as casual, yet intentional, Sunday Youth Connects at 11AM.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
You can completely miss periods and still not be pregnant. You need to identify how late your period is. If it is more that two weeks late then first of all take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Then I would suggest a chat with your doctor if the period is more than a month late.
There are many reasons for missed or late period including hormone or thyroid problems, being under or over weight, exercising or dieting to extreme levels. Stress and polyps are also other reasons too.
So depending how late it is, you may need to see your family doctor. If this is an ongoing problem then going onto the birth control pill can sometimes 'kick start' your cycle.
Does this help?

Enda Kenny plans to march in NY parade despite city mayor's boycott
Taoiseach Enda Kenny is expected to march in the New York St Patrick's Day parade.
Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio is boycotting the parade due to the organisers refusal to allow gay groups to display banners.
But Mr Kenny said he will be in the Big Apple and will be marching.
"It is my intention to be there in New York," he said.
Mr Kenny did not express a view on Mr de Blasio's reservations about the parade.
"You should ask the Mayor that question. I don't speak for the Mayor," he said.
Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore said gay rights groups had encouraged the Government to participate in the parade.
It is not yet clear if Mr Kenny will be in Boston or New York on St Patrick's Day.

Music from different cultures mimics their languages in terms of the types of pitch changes most often used, a study has found. Researchers have debated for years whether music might have a natural or biological basis. The new findings provide "a way of explaining at least some aesthetic preferences in biological terms," wrote Shui' er Han of the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore and colleagues, reporting their results in the May 27 online issue of the research journal PLoS One. Past studies have already found "several aspects of musical tonality… are closely tied to voiced speech," they noted. Han and colleagues analyzed samples of the music and languages of China, Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, France and Germany in terms of pitch content and frequency of pitch changes.The first three cultures listed employ "tone languages," in which pitch is an essential part of the meaning of some words, giving such languages what some listeners describe as a sing-song quality. The other three cultures are not generally considered to have tone languages. It turned out that tone-language cultures have music in which pitch changes more frequently, and the pitch differences are larger, than non-tone-language cultures, Han and colleagues wrote. These differences, they added, are also reflected in the speech of these cultures. "Different tonal preferences apparent in music… are closely related to the differences in the tonal characteristics of voiced speech," wrote the scientists. The findings may also help explain why Eastern and Western music differs in the first place, they added. "Explanations often refer to the use of different scales, but this begs the question of why different sets of pitch intervals are preferred in the first place," they noted.

Labor Day is a very special day for me. It was 19 years ago today September 3rd, 1995 when I landed at LAX as an international student. Days, weeks, months have turned to years. I cannot thank God enough for His faithfulness and goodness. I have labored over the past nineteen years, but it has been rewarding. As you read this blog, maybe you have labored in different ways, however, learning how to live your life and profitably is important. Life is full of ups and downs depending on which side you would like to stay for long. Wishing all our readers, clients, friends & colleagues – Happy Labor Day!
Our relationship starts with our mothers. If we have a healthy and a good relationship with our mothers, it will pay off somehow. Today I thought of how growing up in a full house was like-being the first-born of twelve children. I look back and thank my mother for being there. My mother never complained about anything. She never told us that we were poor. She always believed something good is going to happen, and that we should expect it. More than a half a century later, I still believe something good is going to happen. What do you believe is gong to happen to you on these two roads?
This article below will help you realize what your job stress level is. Mine is listening to people's relationship issues:
Want a high-paying job in a low- stress environment? We reached out to Laurence Shatkin, Ph.D., a career information expert, to find out which jobs fit the bill.

Researchers in Northwestern University's Department of Neurobiology and Physiology reported that sedentary adults who got aerobic exercise four times a week improved their sleep quality from poor to good. These former couch potatoes also reported fewer depressive symptoms, more vitality, and less sleepiness in the daytime. Be sure to wrap up your workout several hours before bedtime so that you're not too revved-up to get a good night's sleep.

" Brand: Red Spectrum / Type: Handheld "
(The picture Dooyoo are displaying doesnt show the blender or the power unit.)
When Jayden started on solids I decided not to rely on jars and packets except in an emergency and make all his food myself. I also decided that if I was going to do this then I needed a good blender, I have a little cheap hand blender but that's on the way out and only works when it thinks it will.
I spotted the Spectrum 3 in 1 Hand Blender in Dunelm Mill, it was just what I was looking for and not too big, I have limited work top space and there's no way I would fit anything large in my cupboards, this seemed ideal and at just £19.99 it was a good price too.
The 3 in 1 hand blender is sold in a brightly coloured stripy box, the front shows a picture of what you get for your money, a stainless steel hand blender, stainless steel whisk, a 310ml chopper and a 600ml measuring cup.
In The Box
When I opened the 3 in 1 hand blender I was impressed with how all the different bits were wrapped, each separate part was wrapped individually in clear bags and separated with plain cardboard. There is also a small instruction leaflet which is easy to follow although its very easy to figure it out anyway.
The Power Unit
The 400w power unit is actually the handle which fits easily into each separate part, to attach it its just a case of pushing it in until it clicks, to remove it there are little release buttons each side which needs to be pressed, this is easy to do and shouldn't present most people with any problems. The handle has a 2 speed soft touch buttons, normal and turbo, which are also very easy to press.
The handle is nicely shaped and very comfortable to hold, its not too heavy either.
The power unit/handle is described as red but personally I think its more of a pink/red colour, as far as I know this is the only colour available.
The power unit came complete with a plug and a 140cm cable, not the longest but didn't present me with any problems however this depends on where your sockets are situated in your kitchen.
The Hand Blender
The hand blender is made from stainless steel, it feels strong and the blades are very sharp, I use this mainly for blending cooked vegetables and fruit, its great for making soup and sauces too.
The Chopping Unit
This consists of a plastic bowl, blades and a lid in which the motor unit/handle fits. To use the chopper you need to slot the blades into the bowl, then add whatever it is you are chopping, lastly click the lid in place which has the handle attached.
Once again these blades are very sharp and have no problems whipping through raw meat or vegetables, ideal for making your own burgers or sausages. Great for home made pesto and breadcrumbs too, it chops these really fine.
The Whisk
The whisk actually feels quite flimsy although it whisks perfectly well. I use this part for whisking cream, egg whites and anything that needs whisking really.
The Measuring Cup
This is a simple little plastic cup which comes with a lid, the cup has measurements up the side in ml's and fluid ounces. The markers go up to 600ml's or 20fl oz but the cup actually holds 1 1/2 pints of liquid. I like the fact that this measuring cup has both a lid and a spout, meaning if I've made soup or sauce early in the day ready for our evening meal I can pop it into the fridge ready to go.
All of the pieces can be washed in either hot soapy water or a dishwasher apart from the power unit which should just be wiped down with a damp cloth.
I've been really pleased with my 3 in 1 Hand Blender, I use it most days, its not very big and probably wouldn't suit a large family but for me its ideal. Its perfect for making Jayden's meals and much more. Ideal for blending or chopping up vegetables to "hide" in meals if you have a fussy eater.
Also good for keeping organised, in the chopper I will do a large bowl of bread crumbs then separate into small containers, leave some plain then add cheese, herbs and spices to the rest. I pop them in their little pots into the freezer and they are ready to use. Saves doing them at the last minuet.
If you are looking for a small appliance that will blend, chop and whisk then I would certainly recommend taking a look at this, its excellent value for money and something I have used over and over again.
I can't believe no one has reviewed the Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender before - it's absolutely brilliant!
**Why Did I buy?**
I bought the Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender for two reasons - 1. I wanted a hand blender which was made of stainless steel because I managed to melt (yes, actually melt) the plastic head of my cheap £5 Sainsbury's Basics hand blender in some too-hot home made soup. Secondly, I wanted a small and convenient way to shop up food for my toddler, rather than wasting money on a dedicated chopper I'd only use for a year or so and then would go into the back of the cupboard.
**Price and Availability**
The best place to buy the Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender from is Dunelm Mill (instore or online, P&P charge applies), I paid £19.99 for it which was a real bargain, but currently it's £14.99 which is a steal!
**What's In the Box**
You get the Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender 'body' (with long flex and wall plug), the blending head (used for soups etc), the whisking head for baking, the chopping attachment and a beaker which the blending head fits into (useful for drinks making).
You also get the instructional manual and 3 year warranty.
Well, here's a little run down of what you can use the Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender for. There's so much!
*Blender Attachment*
Soup (straight into the saucepan, doesn't scratch or melt)
Milkshakes and crushed ice drinks (in the beaker supplied)
Mashed potato
Baby foods / purees
*Whisk Attachment*
Cakes and batters
Whipped desserts
Garlic, chillies etc
Small veg for stews
Fruits for cakes and flans
.. and lots more (this is just what I use each one for).
A breeze - the Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender attachments can go right into the dishwasher (or can be washed by hand and fully immersed), and the body can be wiped down with a damp cloth. It's so easy to keep clean, much easier than any model I've owned in the past (and FAR cleaner than my old Kenwood chopper which I've actually now thrown away as it's redundant now!)
I store my Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender right in a thin drawer, it takes up so little room, even stood up it uses less space than a coffee cup. Because it's so accessible I use it far more often than a big cumbersome chopper.
I cannot recommend the Red Spectrum Collection 3 in 1 Hand Blender enough and willingly will award it 5 stars out of five. It's well made, affordable, versatile and I can see it lasting me a long time. I've saved lots of money with home made baby foods, soups and stews, and had lovely milkshakes and crushed ice and juice drinks in the summer which has been lovely. I've since recommended this to my family and my friends. It's a key buy for any kitchen and I'm so glad I own it.

Wives who are keen in making the best out of their marriage are likely to ask what makes a good wife good. Answers are relative to each person but generally, relationship experts agree and identify common characteristics that make a good wife good.
I asked this question myself and much to my delight, I found that the Bible suffice to answer it. In fact, a lot of marriage guide books are written by Christian authors based on biblical principles.
I love how Harold J. Sala in his book Making Marriage Work gave simplified and direct guidelines for wives. All of which were derived from the Bible.
So what makes a good wife good?
1. A wife is to follow the leadership of her husband.
I understand that lots of modern women of today and active feminists would raise their eyebrows toward this guideline. After all, women are more self-sufficient and self reliant now more than ever. They demanded for their rights from the society, fought for it and earned it. However, it's the same social freedom that can feed the ego and drive her to refuse to acknowledge her husband's leadership.
"Wives, submit yourselves into your husbands as it is fit in the Lord." Colossians 3: 18 "He's not her boss and she's not her slave, however, she is to respond to his leadership just as the husband is to respond to Christ's."
Want to become irrestible again to your cold, distant and uninterested man? Learn how to melt your man´s heart.
I remembered when I attended a friend's wedding few months ago. When the ceremony was over, guests started heading to the door. In front of me, I heard a couple discussing. "Did you hear that? The priest said 'wives submit to your husbands!" The wife simply said, "Whatever!"
It's the ego that easily challenges this principle because girls, don't we want to do things our own way?
"Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands, so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be worn over without words by the behavior of their wives." (1 Peter 3: 1)
But husbands don't start abusing your wives just because she has to submit to your leadership. "Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." Colossians 3: 19. Wonder what are the traits of a good husband?
See: 4 traits of a good husband – what makes a good husband good
2. God's plan is absolute loyalty to your husband.
If you check the Ten Commandments for marriage, this guideline is covered under the 3rd commandment. Women are more prone to discuss about their husbands over a cup of tea or when they meet at the market. Telling your pals about how much of a moron is your husband doesn't really help him correct his weaknesses, instead you are running the risk of hurting your relationship. If you think you won't be comfortable discussing things about him when he's around that clearly signals you better keep those things to yourself. After all, putting down your spouse is also reflective of your own competence because you married him.
Note: Some cases are exemptions such as domestic violence or emotional and psychological abuse. In this case, it's beneficial for the wife to confide about her troubles to someone whom she can trust and is capable of helping her.
Loyalty to your husband initially refers to sexual fidelity but it also includes building and boasting his confidence and establishing respect towards him from your children, family and friends.
3. The role of a wife is to be the sustainer of her husband.
It gives me goose bumps to realize that I have the power to make my husband succeed in his career or pull him into failure. "Behind every man's success is a woman." It's either a wife or a mom.
The best selling author, Og Mandino, the man who wrote my favorite book "The Greatest Salesman in the World" had both mom and wife behind his success. His first wife divorced him taking their daughter with her because he was a hopeless drunkard. His life was so bleak that he almost had ended it. His mom had big dreams for him. She raised him an achiever and inculcated in him that he'll make a famous writer someday. But she fell down dead in their kitchen while preparing breakfast one day leaving Og Mandino an orphan before he entered university. Life became very difficult for him, one failure lead to another and more failures.
But somehow he found his way to success, and while he was reshaping his life by burying himself with inspirational books about the most successful men on Earth, he met his second wife whom he said "had more faith in him than anyone else." Bette, Og's second wife, sustained him on his quest to achieve his mom's dreams. Eventually, he became a world renowned writer.
See: How to Be Successful In Marriage
4. Love your husband as he is.
Brides are accused of walking down the aisle with the aim in mind of altering her husband. Somehow, I'm guilty of this. Even before the wedding I asked my then boyfriend to stop drinking. He was a very moderate drinker but I still couldn't accept even a minor vice. Lucky for me, he agreed. However, my demands started piling for him; those requests are essentially caused by our being interfaith. While he did comply to some of my requests, he explained how difficult those demands would be for him, they require too much of sacrifices. Therefore, we had to come up with some arrangements otherwise called compromises.
Is your marriage on the rocks? Learn how to save your marriage today.
Really, if you want to see change on your partner, it has to happen before the wedding. Otherwise, you can only hope for it to happen. Also, some men comply to your demands just so they can make you marry him but eventually turn back to default after the wedding. If you can't change him, then you have to change your attitude.
5. Keep in close touch with God.
Husbands are supposed to be the spiritual leader of the family, but the wives have to maintain close contact with God. It's important to be prayerful.
"No matter how your husband may fail in his responsibility to be the spiritual leader, or how dismal his failure may be to you or your children, you have a responsibility to God for your life and the lives of the children under your care.
My husband is not very prayerful. But even if he doesn't properly pray, he does what he calls talking to God. In his mind, he tells Him about what worries him or what he needs. Before we got married, I made him know that prayer is very important to me. We agreed that we will pray together every night before we go to bed. One night I was so tired that when we hit the bed, I had no plans to pray. I had no idea that my husband was quietly observing me. When he realized that I started drifting to sleep he asked, "Honey, didn't you say we have to pray together every time we go to bed?" I felt embarrassed but at the same time grateful that whenever I feel weak in prayer, my husband is capable of reminding me.

What are your thoughts? Are there other traits that you think a good wife must possess? Are there situations which make some of these guidelines inapplicable?
