At first glance, the big news around conservative Christian and fundamentalist websites, blogs and forums over the last week was the surprise announcement that Dr. Dave Jaspers had resigned from his role as President of Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Watertown, WI. Dr. Jaspers has, by all accounts been a very effective leader for a college with a rich heritage and a reputation for being reasonable and balanced. I've never been on the campus and my main acquaintance with the college has been through serving on boards with it's former President, Dr. Arno "Bud" Weniger and having had alumni as members of my church and staff over the years. You can read more information on Dr. Jaspers departure HERE and HERE and HERE.
But quickly over-shadowing the surprise resignation of Dr. Jaspers, was the announcement of the resignation of Pastor Jim Schettler of the Campus Church of Pensacola Christian College. Pastor Schettler was a beloved leader for the students at PCC and generally seemed to be one of the few leaders there who maintained a reputation for humanity and personal concern in an institution legendary for its cold, rigid methods of dealing with students, staff and any who would cross their founders or institutional policy.
Pastor Schettler followed Pastor Bob Taylor who resigned in the 1980′s to take a church in Indianapolis. The genteel and gracious Taylor left big shoes to fill, but the popular Schettler stepped in ably, first as interim and then as Pastor. He had previously served with the college and as the youth pastor for the Campus Church. He was watched by thousands each week on the college-sponsored television broadcast.
Professionally, he was always viewed as being under the shadow and control of PCC Founders Arlin and Beka Horton. Much criticism has been heaped on Schettler, the Horton's, PCC and the Campus Church for the unusual role and governance of a church that was exclusively owned and operated by a college which in turn was exclusively controlled and operated by the Horton's. Indeed, the Horton's select the pastor of the Campus Church, make the decisions related to it and the pastor is an employee of the over-all PCC/BekaBook/PCA ministry. I'm not interested in hashing and rehashing the Biblicity of such an arrangement. I have heard Arlin himself explain the rationale for having a campus or ministry church. It is consistent with his personal philosophy of controlling the influences and philosophy of those who work for him and contribute to the ministry he founded. I, could never serve as a pastor of such a church, but then that certainly isn't a basis for whether or not it was proper, acceptable or Biblical.
Schettler is, a genuine fundamentalist conservative. I don't believe he would have remained for as long as he did, had he not believed in the core values and doctrines that guide the PCC ministry. In a ministry that has a reputation for eating people up and spitting their used up and spent caracasses unceremoniously to the side when they have served their usefulness or stepped outside the often arbitrary whims of the leadership, Jim's long-term leadership there is really quite amazing. Apart from Joel Mullenix and a bevy of forever-single female administrators, there are really very few in the college who have survived that long. (Yes, I realize there are "some" — but I speak of the high profile folks.)
I was aware that Jim was leaving at the end of this year for several months and did not feel it was appropriate to divulge the information until he had made the announcement himself. You can actually hear what appears to be a privately recorded audio file of the resignation by clicking HERE.
As someone who has been personally blessed by Jim's ministry as a graduate student, during my times speaking there, during casual fellowship and through limited other interaction, I wish him well. I believe he is getting ready to enter a most interesting phase of his spiritual journey as he, for the first time, ministers in a world that is not artificial in its context, nor nearly as intense in terms of its controlling forces. Having some idea as to part of the journey that brought him to this point of transition, I believe he will face some initial disorientation followed by a lot of joy and freedom in ministry that will be a blessing to him. I look forward to having our paths cross.
But at this juncture, I would also point out that Jim's departure is just one more major leadership shift in an institution that has an incredible rate of turnover in its senior leadership. Not only did Jim Schettler resign, but of lesser attention was the departure of Dr. Matt Beemer, Vice-President of PCC and the man who had, by most accounts, received the promise of holding the keys to the PCC Empire upon the death or retirement of the Hortons. Beemer followed the unceremonious departure/dumping of Dr. Greg Mutsch who had previously held the future keys of leadership. Dell Johnson, the one who made a name for himself teaching Beka Horton's KJV position, also left in short order.
More now than in many years, the future of PCC rests solidly on the Lord permitting the Horton's an extended lifespan. There is virtually no successors on the horizon and those that are should be as nervous as the wife of Henry the VIII.
Some will, and have, accuse(d) me of having a vendetta against PCC. Indeed, I have not been afraid to voice my concerns and opinions about PCC and other Christian colleges in this blog. If you missed them, you can catch up by clicking HERE, HERE and http://www.danburrell.com/blog/2006/02/challenges-and-opportunities-for_24.html.
Such an accusation is simply not true. I have been on the campus many times. I have spoken there. I'm not ashamed to be an alumni from their graduate school.
I do, however, have issues with the hyper-control, unBiblical rigidity and lack of accountability that has damaged many good people over the years. I object to a philosophy that not only discourages debate and discussion, but punishes one for attempting to engage in it for any reason — noble or otherwise — with them. If you aren't willing to swallow their positions in total, then you are an outsider, enemy and will be cut off. It's just not right.
There was a day when I regularly encouraged students to go to PCC. I had plans for my children going there. Their facilities are the best, without argument, of any other Christian college in the world. The academics are sound. They have many good people and sincere servants associated with them. I know many fine graduates and am happy to employ several of them. The text books are good. There is much to appreciate about the ministry in Pensacola.
But make no mistake, there is something toxic in the atmosphere that exists there. We can only pray that eventually leadership will assume the reins of this great work who will lead it to a more healthy spiritual state that holds fast to sound doctrine, but also allows a measure of Biblical liberty in the exercise of one's own faith without having to leave the institution they love to attend or serve.

Aesthetically Pleasing Medical Spa
The difference between a thermage treatment and a chemical peel at Aesthetically Pleasing Medical Spa is substantial—one uses radio frequencies and the other uses Obagi and SkinCeuticals products—but both are noninvasive. The staff of certified aesthetic nurses prefers these sorts of treatments to plastic surgery for almost any cosmetic need, whether it's removing wrinkles, hair, facial lines, spider veins, or too much sunscreen. Monitoring the treatments is medical director Dr. Diana Hoppe, a board-certified OB/GYN physician dedicated to women's health. Dr. Hoppe's guidance and the staff's care helped give the spa enough votes to be named Best Medical Spa by The San Diego A-List in 2012.

Regional and global UNICEF meetings in Bern focus on innovation and equity
BERN, Switzerland, 4 May 2011 – Equity and innovation are at the centre of two events taking place here in the Swiss capital: the 56th Annual Meeting of UNICEF National Committees, which concludes today; and the UNICEF Regional Management Team meeting for Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEECIS), which winds up tomorrow.
Held concurrently in the same location, the meetings provide a unique opportunity for dialogue and interaction among UNICEF Representatives from the CEECIS region, other UNICEF staff and the heads of the National Committees.
Reaching the most vulnerable
Executive Director Anthony Lake is also attending both meetings to share his vision of UNICEF's new focus on equity and to contribute to the discussions.
"I remember very clearly, more than one year ago, our first substantive discussions about UNICEF's refocus on equity – the idea that development investment must target those in greatest need," Mr. Lake told the National Committee meeting on 2 May, a year and a day after his appointment as Executive Director.
"People are coming to understand equity, not only as a moral requirement but also as a practical imperative, providing the most effective way to reach the most vulnerable," he added.
Integral role of National Committees
UNICEF's National Committees are an integral part of the global organization, working in 36 industrialized countries to raise funds and promote child rights. Their Annual Meeting brings together the heads of all the committees.
Hosted by the Swiss Committee, this year's gathering is structured around innovation – both from within UNICEF and its National Committees, and from partners organizations such the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, IKEA, The Future Foundation and YouTube.
Amidst continuing financial challenges worldwide, the meeting also provided an opportunity for National Committees to examine funding trends and plan efforts to increase the level regular resources in support of UNICEF's life-saving programmes.
"I believe in doing more with less, but there are limits, and we are reaching them," said Mr. Lake. "We simply cannot do our work without your increasing help, not only in raising regular resources but in helping us build the movement to reach the neediest children.
Children at risk in CEECIS
At the CEECIS Regional Management Team meeting, meanwhile, the UNICEF Representatives from the region's 22 country offices addressed the situation of children without parental care. Disabled children comprise a large proportion of the 650,000 children remaining in state care in the region.
Mr. Lake described the work to reform child-care systems in CEECIS as heartening. He pointed out, as well, that children with disabilities are among the most disadvantaged, placing them at the heart of the equity agenda.
The Regional Management Team went on to examine a range of issues, including juvenile justice, nutrition and early childhood development. Following his attendance at the meeting, Mr. Lake also met with the Deputy Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Maud de Boer-Buquicchio, to discuss cooperation.


text: News HomeNews News Top tips to manage on-farm safety 01 Mar 2016 Managing health and safety in farm work is not only a good way to avoid incidents - it's also a way to contribute to higher income and profit. And there are some simple steps primary producers can take to ensure a safe workplace for themselves and their employees. Over the eight years from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2011, 356 people died while working on a farm – that's 17 per cent of all worker fatalities according to Safe Work Australia. Primary Industries Health and Safety Partnership (PIHSP) advisory panel chair Gordon Gregory said identifying and fixing safety risks on-farm isn't a complex task if producers follow a few basic steps. They include consulting with workers, identifying hazards, assessing risks, controlling risks, keeping a record of actions taken, and monitoring and reviewing those actions. "Involving and consulting workers is key and should include regular meetings where safety issues are discussed," Mr Gregory said. "It's always important to be on the lookout for on-farm hazards, but that's especially true when familiar systems change, such as with the arrival of new machinery and equipment. "Property owners, managers and workers all have a responsibility to identify those jobs and situations that may cause injury or illness, not only to people doing the work, but also to bystanders and visitors." People working on farms should report to their manager anything that could be considered hazardous to health and safety. Risk associated with each hazard can be assessed in terms of the severity of the potential harm that could occur, and the likelihood that such an outcome could occur. The best thing to do is to eliminate the identified hazard, for instance by swapping to a piece of equipment or infrastructure that can do the same job but is less risky. Reducing the risk can also be achieved by providing workers with safe operating procedures or rules, organising work in such a way that reduces risk, giving safety induction and training to workers, and closely supervising unskilled workers. Personal protective equipment must be provided and used where workers cannot be protected from a hazard by a control measure. This includes providing helmets to protect riders of motorbikes and quads. Records should also be kept of all activity in an occupational health and safety program. More information about these steps can be found in the Managing Grain Farm Safety guide, published by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) and the Australian Centre for Agricultural Health and Safety. RIRDC manages the PIHSP, which it co-funds along with the Cotton and Grains Research and Development Corporations, the Australian Meat Processor Corporation and Meat & Livestock Australia. The goal of the PIHSP is to improve the health and safety of farmers and farm workers and their families across Australia. For more information about the partnership, visit www.rirdc.gov.au/PIHSP FIVE STEPS TO A SAFER FARM Consult - involve your workers Identify hazards - look for unsafe conditions and unsafe practices Assess the risk - for each hazard, consider the likely outcome Control the risk - use the 'hierarchy of control' approach to eliminate each hazard, or find something else to use instead; if that can't be done, use protective equipment and put procedures in place to minimise the risk Keep records – write down your OH&S activity All news

Deer Lakes drilling OK
I thank Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald for conducting a local meeting regarding gas drilling and Deer Lakes Park.
Environmental extremists from outside the area attended the meeting and were an uncivilized minority. Their behavior stole valuable time from residents wishing to speak. It was very clear that many reasonable people believe fracking seven miles below Deer Lakes Park represents a safe proposal.
Residents need a living wage and employer-provided benefits, not government or charitable benefits. Yet environmentalists' passion for animals and plants triumphs over the needs of our unemployed or underemployed residents. This is blatant hypocrisy — I bet most of them earn well above "the living wage" and have good benefits.
Natural gas extraction can result in an economic boost to our area, with important person-centered provisions. We must ensure area residents are first for job hiring. Residents hired by drilling companies should enjoy employer-provided educational benefits, either college or vo-tech. If the drilling job is temporary, employment should include guaranteed trade union apprenticeships after it ends.
I enjoy the beautiful serenity of Deer Lakes Park almost daily, but unlike environmental extremists, I cannot turn a blind eye to area residents who need good jobs. Extremists need to re-evaluate their moral compass and be as passionate for the economic health of the residents as they are for the health of Yogi Bear, Wile E. Coyote and Bambi.

text: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 Resign call in Thai airport scandal Agence France Presse Thai opposition parties opened their no-confidence debate against the transport minister Monday, calling for his resignation for failing to stop corruption in a swirling airport scandal. Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva, heading a two-party coalition, said there is evidence Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit neglected to prevent irregularities in the purchase of high-tech baggage scanners for Bangkok's new airport. ``We do not hesitate to say that we cannot give our confidence in Suriya,'' Abhisit told a full session of parliament, including Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra who attended the one-day censure debate as an observer. Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party's overwhelming majority means the no-confidence vote has little chance of success, but the opposition hopes to score some hits by producing damaging evidence against a longtime minister. ``He failed to prevent corruption,'' Abhisit said of Suriya in a 90-minute speech. He described a complex and murky process that saw the US-made scanners reportedly marked up from US$36.6 million (HK$285.48 million) to US$63.6 million as the deal went through various intermediaries. ``Those price differences were created without good reason,'' Abhisit said. ``This scandal has affected the country's reputation.'' Twenty-six CTX 9000 luggage scanners were purchased from US firm InVision Technologies for use in Bangkok's US$3.7 billion Suvarnabhumi international airport, which has been plagued by allegations of cronyism and mismanagement. Claims about corruption surfaced last year when US regulators found a ``high probability'' that InVision was aware its agents or distributors had either offered or given money to politicians and parties in Thailand, China and the Philippines. Thai officials swept up in the scandal were cleared by an investigation committee that the opposition has derided as a tool to cover up wrongdoing. Alongkorn Polbutr, a longtime Democrat MP, attacked Suriya for allowing non-competitive bidding and not buying directly from InVision to avoid mark-ups by intermediaries. ``This shows that there was corruption involved among groups of people,'' Alongkorn told parliament, calling for Suriya to ``resign to take responsibility.'' As he entered parliament, Suriya said he has worked ``with honesty'' and has little to worry about. A vote is due tomorrow. Do you have an opinion about this story?

I manage only one list, and I have noticed that spam to the list is on
again, off again. The spammers seem to be really busy trying to figure
out how to slip their messages past the spam filters, usually by
changing the subject line. I know the various subjects of spam to my
personal email, and I don't see many of those coming to my list so my
guess is that the filters keep those out. Sending the current spam to
the filters does help, but it has become a never ending process.
I can appreciate the frustration of folks who deal with multiple lists.
Perhaps if you let some of your lists time out the spam messages and
just concentrate on sending spam from one or two lists to the filters,
you will not be overwhelmed. Of course, you can always hope that some
of us who only manage one or two lists are always sending ours to the
filters, helping everyone over time. I don't think the spam filters
respond to the number of messages with a given subject and content so
maybe delivering a large number of the same message to the filters
actually slows them down because the filters have to check to see if the
messages have already been included.

Get Jamall Walker on board
There are recruits to call, as Underwood walks into a situation with the No. 9 recruiting class in the country. But his recruiting effort starts with retaining Jamall Walker as an assistant on the new staff.
Walker is the biggest key to immediate success. He was the X-factor in the recruitment and signing of five-star East St. Louis big man Jeremiah Tilmon, who let it be known that Walker was the primary reason he was coming to Illinois.
Tilmon's family has continued to make that clear. If Walker stays, they stay.
Other programs have recognized the opportunity of playing the other side of that coin. If Walker goes, Tilmon probably follows. Walker is also plugged in with Mr. Basketball candidate Mark Smith. He's laid a strong foundation with E.J. Liddell, who is the most productive sophomore in the state.
That's a heap of talent tied to one guy. Mizzou head coach Cuonzo Martin has wasted no time in making Walker an offer -- per a source. And there are some more options on the table for him as well.
Illini athletic director Josh Whitman has communicated with Walker about his importance to the program. There's a reason he named him the interim head coach -- even over John Groce's request to coach his team through the NIT. There's a reason Whitman met with Walker after word spread that Missouri was in his ear.
Now, there is a guy to sell him on. And Walker is familiar with Underwood. Walker said on Sunday that he first met Underwood when he was 11 years old. And there's a good feeling that he thinks he's a good coach.
But good coaches don't win without talent. And boy, can Walker bring it. This is not a team in rebuild mode next year if Walker is kept.
Walker has told people that he wants to stay. His family likes it here. He made that clear on Sunday.
"If it was up to me, I think this place is special," Walker said. "My kids are raised here. Me and my wife, we've only been married five years. Champaign has been, for us, home more than any place."
"We'll see where it goes. I can't say what's going to happen."
A source said last week that there was an understanding between Walker and Whitman that they would make it work. But as with recruiting, a verbal commitment only means something if that leads to pen hitting paper.
To Walker's credit, he has leverage at this stage of the game. Whitman and Underwood must team together to complete the sell and credit Walker's value with a nice pay raise.
A source told IlliniInquirer.com that Illinois took a big step in that direction on Sunday with a meeting between Walker and Underwood, as a contract offer was discussed with a significant increase in Walker's salary.
Build a relationship with Mark Smith
Smith is an incredible talent. An explosive lead guard with an outside stroke and a ready-made body for the Big Ten. Or any other place in college basketball.
But Illinois needs to get him. Smith and his family have anxiously awaited the new hire. Here it is. Time to get to work.
Mizzou blew up Smith's phone last week with two calls from Martin on the day he was hired. That new staff will do what they can to not make it easy on the Illini.
But Underwood is smart. Smith told IlliniInquirer.com that he talked with Underwood on Saturday. He said they plan to meet in person as soon as possible.
Smith has had Champaign on the brain for a while. He told IlliniInquirer.com last week that he wanted to play for Groce. That was an obvious tip of the hand. Now, the Illini have to still win the game even with the shuffle.
"I need to get down there and meet and talk to whoever they hire," Smith said last week.
Underwood needs to work this one hard, and having Walker on board with him will help immensely. Walker met with Smith and his family on Thursday. But that connection to head man is important.
He is ultimately the one that determines the fit with the style of play and vision for the player's future. Underwood will need to get filled in quickly on Smith's ability and sell the vision. But the style of play fits like a glove.
Smith wants to play an uptempo style that benefits guards like him. Underwood ran the most efficient offense in the country this season with a fast pace and an emphasis on spreading the floor for his outstanding point guard, Jawun Evans.
A source close to the situation told IlliniInquirer.com that Smith will cut his list to five in the next week. The current plan is to wean it down to two and then have Smith take his final two official visits.
Illinois may have been in line to get it done without all of that before Groce was fired. But Underwood can still reach the same result if all goes smoothly with the sell and the relationship.
Fill out the rest of the staff
The focus is on Walker when it comes to Underwood's new staff at Illinois, and for good reason. But there are a number of other positions that need to be filled.
Illinois has the resources to make some big-time moves. According to Monday's press release, Underwood has $850,000 to use on his three on-court assistants and $550,000 for the six support staff members.
The expectation is that Underwood will bring Lamont Evans with him to be his right-hand man. Evans was the lead assistant and recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma State last season, and he spent five previous seasons coaching with Underwood at Kansas State and South Carolina.
"He has established recruiting ties all over the country, and I consider him one of the top recruiters in the country," Underwood said of Evans when he was hired at Oklahoma State last April.
Evans' most impressive get on the recruiting trail was landing McDonald's All-American PJ Dozier at South Carolina. He also recruited Sindarius Thornwell, who is the SEC Player of the Year for the Gamecocks this season. Evans is credited with providing Frank Martin with the talent to put South Carolina basketball back on the map. And combining Evans and Walker on the same staff could have dynamite potential.
Underwood talked about Evans at his press conference on Monday.
"We're continuing to work on those conversations," he said. "I've been with Lamont a long time. I've worked side-by-side with him. I know exactly what I have with him. He's a gifted coach."
Underwood will have to figure out who his third assistant will be as well. Florida State assistant Dennis Gates is a name that has been brought up on some wish lists. Gates is a stud recruiter for Leonard Hamilton in Tallahassee. He has helped recruit the likes of Dwayne Bacon, Jonathan Isaac and Malik Beasley.
Gates has also made stops at Marquette, Cal, Northern Illinois and Nevada. He is from Chicago, and he is a former star at Whitney Young. He was named to the Chicago Public League Hall of Fame.
Underwood could use a connected presence in Chicago. He could also use a coach who can develop frontcourt players. Like Evans and Walker, Gates is a guards coach.
One intriguing name to consider is La Lumiere head coach Shane Heirman, who coached and developed Tilmon at La Lu. He has done an admirable job of turning that program into a powerhouse with loads of big-time talent. One of those players is 5-star uncommitted wing Brian Bowen. There is a strong possibility that Heirman could bring Bowen with him to the next level.
DePaul had Heirman and Bowen on campus recently. There is buzz that they are trying to make that play. Another program is said to be in that mix as well.
It might be one Illinois should consider. Heirman is a good coach with a proven ability to attract top-level players. Some in the basketball community believe that he could have success recruiting up in Chicago and elsewhere.
There appears to be interest from Heirman's side in an opportunity. And the more recruiting prowess Underwood can put around him, the more his coaching ability will be able to shine.
Ultimately, though, Underwood has to find the right fits for him on his staff. And he also needs to figure out his support staff. Will strength and conditioning coach Adam Fletcher have a shot at staying. Fletcher did a great job of developing players over the offseason and keeping them from injury during the season.
Hit on a transfer
Even if Underwood adds Smith, keeps the rest of the 2017 class intact and no current player leaves, he will still have an open scholarship for next season. And more likely than not, a second one will open up.
With that, Illinois will be expected to be in the market for an impact transfer. And one clearly comes to mind right off the bat: Oklahoma State swingman Jeffrey Carroll. As a redshirt-junior this past season, Carroll thrived in Underwood's system on his way to 17.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
In his previous season under Travis Ford, Carroll averaged 8.2 points and four rebounds in nearly 25 minutes per game. But in Underwood's offense, Carroll's points production and shot efficiency skyrocketed. He went from shooting 41 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from deep to 53.7 percent and 44.4 percent respectively. And according to KenPom, he had the 13th best offensive rating in the country.
Carroll is eligible to be a fifth-year transfer this offseason. At 6-foot-6 with experience in Underwood's system, he seems like a prime candidate to take over for Malcolm Hill at the three-spot next season. Carroll would be a huge addition and a much-needed veteran presence on a team with no seniors.
The Illini could also rekindle their pursuit of Hutchinson CC four-man Shakur Juiston. Walker recruited him for Groce, and they went to see him a few times. Juiston recently cut his list down to nine schools: Iowa State, Kansas, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Rutgers, St. Joe's, UCONN, UNLV and VCU -- according to a report by Zagsblog.
Juiston was quoted as saying he was still open to other opportunities. He has been a double-double machine at the JUCO level. He might be worth another shot, although the Illini could really use a center.
Network and sell the area
On a national level, Illinois got great praise for its move to hire Underwood.
Underwood is very well respected in the coaching community. He comes from great coaching trees under Martin and Bob Huggins. His teams play hard. They're tough. They play an exciting brand of offense. There's a high level of accountability. And Underwood knows how to win.
That's the kind of culture you look for in a program. Those are attributes that made Underwood the guy for Whitman.
But there is still an unknown about him for many people out there. The Illini didn't bring in a household name.
Underwood will need to get out and make those connections around the state and the region. He will need to get to know high school coaches, AAU coaches, players and parents. Build those relationships, and sell his brand and the program's future.
He will get the opportunity to do the same for the fan base. Some were skeptical at first, but the more people read and research, the more they seem to like what they have. Keep that momentum rolling.

A Flensted classic that never tires the eye.
The mobile provides fantastic shadows on the wall if it is hanged properly against a lamp.
Created in 1956, it is still one of the most popular mobiles in the Flensted range.
Flensted Mobiles are so designed that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance.
"If you have a troubled mind, watch a mobile and unwind".
The mobile makers, Ole and Aase Flensted.
Warning: Last items in stock!
Availability date:
Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile - as a decoration for the home - was created in 1953 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe to celebrate the birth of their first daughter.
Christian Flensted became known as the "Uromager", a name difficult to translate into English, but means a "maker of mischievous things that are always on the move".

A workout routine has hit Baton Rouge that promises to be fun, yet intense. You can't beat that with a stick.
Actually, it takes two sticks.
"Pound," a workout that started making waves in national media a year ago, began this month at OpenBarre, a studio behind the Mall of Louisiana that specializes in out-of-the-ordinary exercise regimens. Pound certainly qualifies.
Rather than heavy weights, participants use lightly weighted drumsticks — drumming the air, drumming the floor, constantly moving their arms whether standing, bending or in Pilates positions, drumming to the beat of high-energy music.
Maryam Diaab, 33, who opened OpenBarre in January and introduced Pound classes earlier this month, said the early feedback from clients is positive.
"I think it's just something totally different from the normal cardio or Pilates or even barre class," Diaab said. "Pound fuses cardio and Pilates together, and with the added element of the drumsticks, the awesome soundtrack that they have. You can sort of pound out your frustrations, pound out your stress and all the time you're getting an awesome workout as well. You're listening to your favorite music. It's kind of a party atmosphere and a really good time. I think that's definitely the draw.
"It's fun. It's a lot more difficult a workout than it looks like."
The difficulty comes from a lot of up and down, squatting and lunging movements, working the legs, and Pilates positions that engage the core.
"I thought it would be fun, and it was very much fun," said Parissa Majlesein, of Baton Rouge, after her first Pound session. "It was a really good workout. I was kind of surprised. It was a very good workout. The weights are not heavy at all, but I'm sweating."
"I did not know that I would sweat this much," said Nicole Odom, of Prairieville. "It was awesome."
Diaab, a Detroit native who moved to the area four years ago to teach at a charter school, created OpenBarre when she couldn't find the workouts she wanted. The studio features aerial yoga, classes on a glide board that imitates ice skating and ballet-inspired exercises.
She discovered Pound in a story in Shape magazine and decided it fit in with OpenBarre's other offerings. One of the things she likes about it is that it might appeal to men more than her studio's other workouts. "It's mostly women who are attracted to our classes," she said. "I think it maybe pushes men away because they hear ballet, they hear aerial yoga, those are things that are not traditionally a man-type of workout. We're open to everybody."

Hello, I could do with some advice
I have purchased a .me.uk domain and plan to set up a personal website. I would like to write articles and post code about various things, and I am leaning towards a Pesonal section, Factual section and a Professional section.
Personal Section
Factual Section
Professional Section
I am wondering what peoples experiences might have been in finding the balance between what to say, what not to say, what to allow visitors to do and not do.
I have heard of bloggers getting death threats, trolls, etc before...
Opinion-based articles/posts are referred to as editorials in print. You might be able to use that when dividing things up into categories.
You can say whatever you want--just be prepared to accept the consequences of what you're saying. Personally, I would keep you any personally identifiable information or images off the site (names, birthdays, photos of familty, employment/employer details, etc.)
As for trolls and whatnot, you can send all comments to a moderation queue first before publishing them and set up spam filtering. For the most part, people who are posting these extreme negative comments do so behind the veil of anonymity and really can't do much more than stir the pot to try to get a reaction.
First and foremost thing is to to categories the site in diffrent section and make sure people know waht to post in each section with the FAQ or other infromatic page.
You need to broadly classified each section. They may be people mis uderstood the class where to put in the article as many of them are confusing like Opinion in first. Instead of it but advice or suggestion.
Professional part need to classified in diffrent programmingt section like languages and technology wise. Use Different categories like in frousm we have and then sub categories. Like web devlopment and then PHP, ASP, Python etc in sub part of it.
Do this way. It's suggest my point of view.
Think about the relations between your blog categories first, you have lots of topics that are completely different, I recommend searching for related websites that are talking about your niches, and see how they organize their content, you will find lots of idea and how to organize your blog in general. lots of people learn from their own experience and they create a good blog layout over time. Also, add your mean categories to the mean menu, that will help in SEO.
Thank you all. Some really good points to think about.
I agree with looking at other blogs with many visitors. Look at what kind of content they are posting, which content generates a lot of comments, etc. Decide on who is your target audience.
I too would second this point of visiting other blogs and start small and walk to the big. Content juice is very important and topics and matter need to be of reader's interest . The right classification also makes a difference so that your readers do not get confused and whatever they are looking for comes right to them. For the beginning, do not keep so many categories which you find difficult to fill up with fresh content. Lesser but quality content would be a good start, as per my opinion.
I'd love to hear what others have to say.

Ciclesonide Oral Inhalation
(sye kles' oh nide)
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Ciclesonide oral inhalation is used to prevent difficulty breathing, chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing caused by asthma in adults and children 12 years of age and older. Ciclesonide is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works by decreasing swelling and irritation in the airways to allow for easier breathing.
HOW should this medicine be used?
Ciclesonide comes as an aerosol to inhale by mouth using an inhaler. Ciclesonide is usually inhaled twice a day. Try to use ciclesonide at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use ciclesonide inhalation exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about how you should use your other oral and inhaled medications for asthma during your treatment with ciclesonide inhalation. If you are using any other inhaled medications, ask your doctor if you should inhale these medications a certain amount of time before and after you inhale ciclesonide inhalation. If you were taking an oral steroid such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Rayos), your doctor may want to gradually decrease your steroid dose starting at least one week after you begin to use ciclesonide inhalation.
Ciclesonide inhalation helps to prevent asthma attacks (sudden episodes of shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing) but will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. Do not use ciclesonide inhalation during an asthma attack. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during asthma attacks.
Your doctor will probably start you on an average dose of ciclesonide inhalation. Your doctor may increase it if your symptoms have not improved after at least 4 weeks and later may decrease your dose when your symptoms are controlled.
Ciclesonide inhalation controls asthma but does not cure it. It may take 4 weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of the medication. Continue to use ciclesonide inhalation even if you feel well. Do not stop using ciclesonide inhalation without talking to your doctor.
Tell your doctor if your asthma worsens during your treatment. Call your doctor if you have an asthma attack that does not stop when you use your fast-acting asthma medication, or if you need to use more of your fast-acting medication than usual.
The inhaler that comes with ciclesonide aerosol is designed for use only with a canister of ciclesonide. Never use it to inhale any other medication, and never use any other inhaler to inhale ciclesonide.
Each canister of ciclesonide aerosol is designed to provide 60 inhalations. After the labeled number of inhalations has been used, later inhalations may not contain the correct amount of medication. Your inhaler comes with an attached counter that will change as every 10 sprays are used. When the number that shows on the counter is 020, you should call your doctor or pharmacist to refill your prescription. When the number that shows on the counter is 000, you should not use that canister anymore. You should also keep track of the number of inhalations you use each day to know the exact amount of sprays that remain in your inhaler. Throw away the canister after you have used the labeled number of inhalations even if it still contains some liquid and continues to release a spray when it is pressed. If your inhaler is dropped, do not use the number on the counter to predict the number of sprays left in your inhaler.
Before you use your ciclesonide aerosol inhaler the first time, read the written instructions that come with it. Look at the diagrams carefully and be sure that you recognize all the parts of the inhaler. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist to show you how to use it.
Do not use your ciclesonide inhaler while you are near an open flame or a heat source. The inhaler may explode if it is exposed to very high temperatures.
To use the aerosol, follow these steps:
Clean your inhaler once a week. To clean your inhaler, use a clean, dry tissue or cloth. Do not wash or put any part of your inhaler in water.
Are there OTHER USES for this medicine?
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS should I follow?
Before using ciclesonide inhalation,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to ciclesonide, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in ciclesonide inhalation. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: ketoconazole (Nizoral); oral steroids such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone (Rayos); and medications for seizures. Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects. Many other medications may also interact with ciclesonide inhalation, so be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, even those that do not appear on this list.
- do not use ciclesonide during an asthma attack. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during asthma attacks. Call your doctor if you have an asthma attack that does not stop when using the fast-acting asthma medication, or if you need to use more of the fast-acting medication than usual.
- tell your doctor if you have been on bedrest or unable to move around for a long time, or if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had osteoporosis (a condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily). Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had tuberculosis (TB: a type of lung infection), cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye), or glaucoma (an eye disease). Also tell your doctor if you have any type of untreated infection anywhere in your body or a herpes eye infection (a type of infection that causes a sore on the eyelid or eye surface).
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while using ciclesonide inhalation, call your doctor.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using ciclesonide inhalation.
- if you have any other medical conditions, such as asthma, arthritis, or eczema (a skin disease), they may worsen when your oral steroid dose is decreased. Tell your doctor if this happens or if you experience any of the following symptoms during this time: extreme tiredness, muscle weakness, or pain; sudden pain in stomach, lower body, or legs; loss of appetite; weight loss; upset stomach; vomiting; diarrhea; dizziness; fainting; depression; irritability; and darkening of skin. Your body may be less able to cope with stress such as surgery, illness, severe asthma attack, or injury during this time. Call your doctor right away if you get sick and be sure that all healthcare providers who treat you know that you recently replaced your oral steroid with ciclesonide inhalation. Carry a card or wear a medical identification bracelet to let emergency personnel know that you may need to be treated with steroids in an emergency.
- tell your doctor if you have never had chickenpox or measles and you have not been vaccinated against these infections. Stay away from people who are sick, especially people who have chickenpox or measles. If you are exposed to one of these infections or if you develop symptoms of one of these infections, call your doctor right away. You may need treatment to protect you from these infections.
- you should know that ciclesonide inhalation sometimes causes wheezing and difficulty breathing immediately after it is inhaled. If this happens, use your fast-acting (rescue) asthma medication right away and call your doctor. Do not use ciclesonide inhalation again unless your doctor tells you that you should.
What SPECIAL DIETARY instructions should I follow?
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
What should I do IF I FORGET to take a dose?
Skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What SIDE EFFECTS can this medicine cause?
Ciclesonide inhalation may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- headache
- stuffy or runny nose
- sore or irritated throat
- swelling of nose, throat, and sinuses
- painful white patches in the mouth or throat
- hoarseness
- joint pain
- pain in arms, back, and legs
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms or those in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical treatment:
• hives
• rash
• itching
- swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
- difficulty breathing or swallowing
- chest pain or tightness
Ciclesonide inhalation may cause children to grow more slowly. Your child's doctor will watch your child's growth carefully while your child is using ciclesonide inhalation. Talk to your child's doctor about the risks of giving this medication to your child.
In rare cases, people who used ciclesonide inhalation for a long time developed glaucoma or cataracts. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using ciclesonide inhalation and how often you should have your eyes examined during your treatment.
Ciclesonide inhalation may increase your risk of developing osteoporosis. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication.
Ciclesonide inhalation may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while using this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online (http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
What should I know about STORAGE and DISPOSAL of this medication?
Store your ciclesonide inhaler out of reach of children, at room temperature, and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Do not store the inhaler near a heat source or an open flame. Protect the inhaler from freezing and direct sunlight. Do not puncture the aerosol container and do not throw it away in an incinerator or fire.
Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website (http://goo.gl/c4Rm4p) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program.
What OTHER INFORMATION should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else use your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Brief Shortage of Tamiflu Oral Suspension
[1-14-2014] FDA has been informed of a brief shortage of Tamiflu Oral Suspension, an orally administered prescription medicine used to treat the flu. Tamiflu 30 mg, 45 mg, and 75 mg capsules remain available.
FDA would like to remind health care professionals of the FDA-approved instructions for how to prepare an oral suspension from the Tamiflu 75 mg capsules. These instructions are in the current package insert and are also found on the FDA drug shortages website.
Tamiflu is not a replacement for the annual flu vaccination, which comes in injectable and spray forms. There are currently no reported shortages of the flu vaccination: Influenza Virus Vaccine Safety & Availability.
Tamiflu Oral Suspension is manufactured by Genentech. Genentech expects to have additional Tamiflu Oral Suspension by mid-January 2014. Please check with authorized Genentech distributors and retailers for product availability.
Influenza antiviral drugs are commercially manufactured and supplies of these drugs are dependent upon those commercial manufacturers. FDA will continue to work with manufacturers to assess whether influenza antiviral supply issues arise this season.

New Delhi, Nov. 21: Trinamul will give a notice to the Lok Sabha Speaker for moving a no-trust motion against the UPA government on the first day of the winter session tomorrow even though the party does not yet have the requisite support of at least 50 MPs.
"We will give the notice tomorrow morning," Trinamul MP Saugata Roy said.
He said that according to the rules, one member could give the notice for moving a no-confidence motion. However, for the motion to be admitted and taken up for voting, the support of at least 50 MPs in the Lok Sabha is required.
Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Trinamul's leader in the Lok Sabha, is likely to give the notice.
Asked whether the party had been assured the backing of 50 MPs since it only has 19 in the Lok Sabha, Trinamul leaders said they had appealed to all political parties for support and were confident of getting the adequate numbers.
"Who supports or not will be clear tomorrow. We have taken a stand and we will not retract from it," a Trinamul MP said, adding that the move would "expose" many parties, particularly the Left, and show how they were "bailing out" the UPA government.
Trinamul MPs will stage a dharna on the Parliament premises tomorrow for not being allotted a room in the House.
MP Bandyopadhyay wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar requesting that Trinamul be allotted a separate space in the Opposition benches.

Sustainable Environment
Watershed Planning
Rainwater harvesting, a stormwater management practice, captures or slows down surface stormwater so it can be put to beneficial use. Harvested rainwater can flow to surrounding vegetation to help beautify the landscape and increase shade.
Active rainwater harvesting uses gutters and downspouts to direct water into cisterns that store water for future use. Passive rainwater harvesting uses depressions and/or berms called "earthworks" to store water in the soil, where it can be used by vegetation. Plant the Water Handout (pdf)
Rainwater harvesting often takes place in the urban environment. As a result, local municipalities have developed guidelines and ordinances to help citizens understand how to harvest rainwater. If you are planning to install a system, please read through the following to learn about regulations that might influence your plans or incentive programs that might help you pay for your system.

The Good Ol' Days: Nitty, Gritty Blogging
Whatever happened to the good ol' days when blogs weren't driven by a quest for money and popularity? I remember the days of livejournal and the early days of non-google blogger, scribble.nu, and what have you. I miss the stress-free nonchalance about being able to blog about whatever you wanted (um, life) without being caught up in content-driven profit.
I love blogs with great content, but that doesn't just mean tutorials out of ones ears (most of which have been done. I don't say this to be scathing, I just say it amicable honesty. And let's be frank, I'm the only one here. ;))
Blogging as ones career is very rewarding I'm sure. But for those of us that want to have that option but post about our true selves, be them not so cookie-cutter perfect as the mommy bloggers of a-state-I-shall-not-name (again, these are blogs I follow, praise, and adore. I'm just being honest about the image put forth: flawless, stay-at-home-mother's other allllllll happen to be extraordinarily crafty, domestic, and with tempers of BAMBI). Dealing with depression, feelings of inadequacy on all fronts, racial identity issues, pressure of my beloved religion, and so on... these are things I deal with on a daily basis IN ADDITION to living gratefully with JOY. Life is a quest in which we learn about gratitude and contentment and let's face it: we aren't always perfect so let's not only show that face! Let's show our relatable human side. When you do, you have the support of your followers to back you up and help you through any negative points in your life. Blogging used to be about networking to make new, wonderful friendships that wouldn't be accessible to you otherwise, not acquiring the greatest number of unique hits.
I used to love photography. I used to love the gritty possibilities of documenting ones life. Honestly, instagram is more realistic than the perfectly posed and made-up mothers of the blogosphere. But feeling the pressure of trying to blend in (what a mistake :( Oh Lauren...), documenting life both photographically and journalistically became a stress.
And all of this hit me in the midst of a bad bout of depression. I simply couldn't write a post because the high school pressure hit me and I felt like why journal online anymore when it feels like I should be doing this for all to see but not have it show all of me the way a journal would? (Oh right, blogging = for the public now, journals = private these days.
I know this may sound silly and perhaps negative or complaining to you. Or maybe it resonates with you. But I will explain how digging my way to a more stable place in depression helped me begin to resolve my feelings on these matters.
To be continued...

I agree. I miss the lj days when we weren't worried about how many followers we had or how many comments we received. Usually, it was just you and me anyway.ReplyDelete
So blog if you want. Who cares who reads this and who doesn't? Yes, sponsors would be really cool. But everyone who ever got somewhere, started with the blank page. Perhaps, followers, comments and sponsors will come later. If not, who cares? It's for you anyway.
