From nail biting to cell phone addiction, procrastination to overspending, bad habits seem to outnumber the good ones. Unfortunately, we pay a price for bad habits that outweighs the immediate gratification that they bring.
In this audiobook, Joyce Meyer starts by examining the nature of habits. The first habit - and most important one to have - is the God Habit. By making it a habit to start your day by reading the Bible and communing with God, asking for His help in your efforts and His strength and sustenance, the stage is set for overcoming the habits you want to break and establishing new ones in their place.
She then explores how to break bad habits by examining the destructive negative behavior patterns.
The author moves on to discuss 14 good habits and devotes a chapter to each. By the end of the chapter, the listener has a specific roadmap to follow until the behavior has become automatic (the definition of a habit). It's like following a GPS to get you to a new place. After traveling the same route several times, the GPS isn't needed for you to find your destination. The "habit" of following the right route is ingrained.
Among the habits discussed are:
©2013 Joyce Meyer (P)2013 Hachette Audio
"Strictly A Matter of Opinion"
I know she means well but there are parts of this book that demonstrate how little research was done during the writing process. I know that the paradigm rests in religion but some of her references are ridiculously inaccurate and downright dangerous. For example, she claims that cortisol (a stress hormone) causes the heart to beat at "four times its natural rate" (chapter 8, 07:35). A healthy adult heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. This would mean that, according to the author, even a little bit of cortisol would result in a heart rate of 240-400 beats per minute. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Another asinine quote appears in Chapter 8 at 10:25 when she says "The experts say we should drink half of our bodyweight in water everyday." The Mayo Clinic reports that a rough approximation for adequate water consumption is 3 liters (about 4/5 of a gallon) per day. I'm a 175 pound man and by the authors recommendation I should drink nearly 10.5 gallons of water EVERY DAY. That's not only ridiculous but would be incredibly dangerous. That quote alone was enough for me to discredit her entirely.
If that wasn't enough, late in the book she says, "People may forget what you said and what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel" (chapter 17, 08:37). It's a beautiful quote but there's just one problem: Joyce Meyer stole it. Maya Angelou, one of the greatest writers in recent times, deserves the credit for that one.
As I mentioned in the beginning, I know the author means well. However, for anyone out there looking for information on how to build habits this isn't the place to start. At times she comes across as downright condescending and offers little to no helpful information. She references the bible often but relies only on her personal opinion. In sum, this book is a collection of poorly researched and misguided opinions and nothing more.
"Couldn't get past the accent and "reading" voice"
I watch Joyce Meyer all the time on TV and I have always liked her very much. I loved the concept of replacing bad habits with good ones and ordered the audio book.
Unfortunately, the narrator's pronunciation and accent began to bug me. (for instance, "God will not forget you" sounded like "Gad will nat forget you." Also, there was no story-telling flow, just sounded like reading.
I thought Sheesh, who is this narrator?? So I Googled her name, Sandra McCollom, and found that she is Joyce's daughter. The Google search opened Pandora's Box of all these articles about Joyce Meyer and her family and all the controversy about her ministry and money etc. It was kind of a bummer.
The concept and the message of the book is great, but I couldn't enjoy it because eventually I was wincing every time she said Gad.
I think Joyce would be better to hire a professional to convey her books with more flow and enthusiasm.
"Born again and loving it."
Who knew at age 44, that reading coukd be so helpful. My struggles as a new creature is difficult but I thank Joyce Meyer for this book and her Battlefield of the Mind book. Besides God, the Holy Bible, and the Holy Spirit, I appreciate my church and my tv gospel family.
"I can't wait to hear it again! Apply to me life"
There are so many wonderful teachings and lessons that will change your life and make each day better.
So you can enjoy your journey to the fullest.
"Love the step by step"
I love the way this was laid out. Each habit built onto the next one
"Great book but one small complaint"
My only disappointment was that Joyce did not narrate. I would have preferred to hear the words from her voice.
The content as usual was enlightening and inspiring.
"Enjoyed the book"
Listened to this book in perfect timing. There is great material to help make positive changes. I highly recommend it.
"Overall, ok!"
the voice over sound was a little dull but content is good. Not enough energy to keep listeners engaged. I like the stories. Thank you!
"To religious for my taste"
constantly spoke about god. great for religious people but for the rest of us it's a bit overkill
This is a very informative book that teaches you alot about how you should live your life.

As quickly as the question was raised, it was dismissed.
When asked his reaction to the Mountain West Conference preseason media poll that had his team finishing sixth, SDSU football coach Brady Hoke shook it off like a weak arm tackle.
"Means nothing," he said.
And then it was back to the business of Hoke being Hoke — stressing senior leadership, accountability and not hiding the fact that he's still a bit ticked off at how his Aztecs finished last season — dropping four in a row and falling out of bowl contention after a promising 4-4 start.
"It was unacceptable," he said, "absolutely unacceptable."
The media poll hasn't been a strong barometer for where the Aztecs might finish. In the previous 11 polls, the Aztecs have matched their predicted finish only twice — in 2000 (three-way tie for fifth) and in 2006 (tied for sixth).
Four times the Aztecs have defied the poll by finishing ahead of their predicted finish and the remaining five times they have fallen short of expectations. This was the highest predicted finish for the Aztecs since 2006.
Conference honors
The MWC also announced its preseason all-league team. Wide receiver Vincent Brown and tight end Alston Umuolo were tabbed for the all-offense team and punter Brian Stahovich was named an all-conference specialist. It's the first time since 2004 SDSU had more than two players on the preseason team.
TCU swept the individual preseason awards with quarterback Andy Dalton, linebacker Tank Carder and Jeremy Kerley (special teams) being honored.
SDSU notes
•The Aztecs, who open training camp Aug. 9, will be without prized recruit J.J. Whittaker, a defensive back from Oceanside. Whittaker suffered an ACL injury in the summer. Hoke wouldn't give a specific timetable other than to say Whittaker would miss "significant" time.
•Senior defensive back Dey Juan Hemmings is still recovering from offseason ankle surgery but should be ready by the start of the season. Sophomore running back Walter Kazee is fully recovered from an ankle injury suffered in the spring.
•Mt. San Antonio College left tackle Joe Unga, who signed his letter of intent in February, failed to qualify academically.
Sound bites
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, whose team will move to the Pac-10 next season: "We're looking forward to the season. It's been a very quiet, uneventful summer."
Hoke on his team's increase in strength: "Our body composition, besides the head coach, has really improved."
QB kudos
Aside from SDSU starter Ryan Lindley (El Capitan) and Utah's Jordan Wynn (Oceanside), a third San Diego quarterback, Colorado State's Pete Thomas (Valhalla) could be starting this fall. CSU coach Steve Fairchild said the true freshman put himself in a great position by graduating early and getting into spring camp.
"I don't think a true freshman can start if they don't do that," he said. "Pete has done everything he needs to do. He's got a great shot at starting."

Photo: Bill Bernstein(NEW YORK) — Sid Bernstein, the promoter who first brought The Beatles and other famous British Invasion bands to the United States, died Wednesday at the age of 95.
Bernstein first booked the Fab Four into New York City's Carnegie Hall in 1964 for a concert after their historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, arranging the show, he claimed, eight months before the group had made any major inroads into the U.S. charts. He also organized the band's landmark concert at Shea Stadium, thereby becoming the first promoter to bring a rock act to a U.S. sports stadium.
Speaking a few years ago with ABC News Radio, Bernstein recalled making arrangements with Beatles manager Brian Epstein for the band to play Carnegie Hall.
"Even before…Ed Sullivan booked them, I made a deal with [Epstein] in early '63 to bring them over," he remembered. "I said, 'Can I do it six months from now?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'I won't let them come there and play to empty houses.' I said, 'I'd like to have them a year from now,' so we agreed on February 12, 1964, Carnegie Hall."
Among the other bands whose first U.S. concerts were promoted by Bernstein were The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits and The Moody Blues. In addition, he had a long association with the American pop-rock group The Rascals, helping them rise to stardom. He also worked with or helped promote shows by a wide variety of other acts throughout the years, including James Brown, Ray Charles, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, ABBA and Frank Sinatra.
Bernstein co-wrote a pair of books about his eventful career — It's Sid Bernstein Calling and Not Just the Beatles … — and was the subject of a 2010 documentary about his life called Sid Bernstein Presents… Last year, Bernstein released his first album, also called titled Sid Bernstein Presents…, which featured versions of John Lennon's "Imagine" and "Love" and select other cover tunes.

Congressman John Shimkus (R, Illinois-15) today visited the VA Illiana Health Care System (VAIHCS), handing out valentines to patients while expressing support for the Danville facility.
A proposal to restructure VAIHCS programs and services has gone up the VA's chain of command, drawing reaction from stakeholders worried about the loss of staff and supportive jobs, as well as the effect on the local economy.
"At tomorrow night's State of the Union address, I intend to again personally invite Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to visit the campus and discuss VA plans for Danville," Shimkus said.
"I previously invited the secretary about a year ago, when I expressed my opposition to a proposal for a second campus in Champaign-Urbana, which would in reality move all primary care out of Danville. Until he sees the fine work being done here, I don't believe the VA should reduce the scope of its services in Danville."
As part of his annual Valentines for Heroes program, Shimkus delivered some of the thousands of valentines collected by his offices for distribution to veterans and active-duty military in and around his Congressional district.
"I am continually overwhelmed by the kindness and support given by my constituents toward our veterans and military men and women," Shimkus said. "The program seems to get bigger and bigger every year."

HSBC shuts down bank accounts of London mosque and other Muslim organisations
HSBC is shutting down the bank accounts of Finsbury Park Mosque in north London and also those of some other Muslim organisations in the UK.
The bank wrote to Finsbury Park Mosque on July 22 stating that it could not continue to provide it with banking services because it now "falls outside of our risk appetite". The mosque has in the past been linked with radicalism. The London imam Abu Hamza, who used to run Finsbury Park and has preached there, was convicted on 11 counts of terrorism in New York earlier this year and will be sentenced in September.
The mosque says it has reformed and believes it is the victim of a campaign against Muslim charities in Britain.
HSBC said in a statement: "We do not discuss relationships we may or may not have with a customer, nor confirm whether an individual or business is, or has been a customer.
"Discrimination against customers on grounds of race or religion is immoral, unacceptable and illegal, and HSBC has comprehensive rules and policies in place to ensure race or religion are never factors in banking decisions."
The bank is strategically assessing its businesses after it paid £1.1 billion to US authorities in 2012 over allegations concerning money laundering.
"As a result of these ongoing reviews, we have exited relationships with business and personal customers in over 70 countries. The services we provide to charities are no exception to this global review," the bank said in its statement.
The mosque's chairman Mohammed Kozbar told the BBC: "The bank didn't even contact us beforehand. Didn't give us a chance even to address [their] concerns.
"For us it is astonishing - we are a charity operating in the UK, all our operations are here in the UK and we don't transfer any money out of the UK. All our operations are funded from funds within the UK."
He added: "The positive work we have done since taking over over from Abu Hamza to change the image of the mosque, there is nothing really that can explain [HSBC's decision]."
Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North, defended the mosque.
"Over the past 10 years, it has developed into a superb example of a community mosque supporting local people and providing facilities for all faiths if they need it. I am shocked and appalled at the decision of HSBC."

Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances is a browser-based, multiplayer online strategy game where players choose one of two playable factions: the Global Defense Initiative or the Nod. You harvest resources, build huge armies, and foster strategic alliances all in the pursuit of victory.
First, you build up your base, placing structures and upgrading the ones you have, and making sure your defense is strong enough to deter attackers. Since everything is built instantly, you don't have to wait as in other browser strategy games. Then, you choose the composition of your army from infantry, tanks, and airplanes, and use them to attack enemy camps for resources. By deciding where and when to deploy your troops, victory is decided more by tactics than by simply having a bigger army. Since there are a lot of enemies, joining an alliance is a way to help other people and get help in return.
In the coming months, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances will feature cloud-saved game data to make it accessible across web browsers and mobile devices. Players can play from their desktop at home, or on the go from their smartphone or tablet.
All you need is an HTML5 compatible browser (which should be all modern browsers), and then you can head on over to Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances and play for free.

Pal Bar Stool
by Hallgeir Homstvedt
The Pal bar stool retains all the advantages of the low stool - easy assembly, lightweight sturdiness, affordability - while its extra height makes it perfect for bars and restaurants as well as kitchen counters. Designed by Hallgeir Homstvedt, the slender, curved legs were inspired by skateboard-making techniques and attach to the curved base through an ingenious X-shaped joint. The metal bracket on the legs makes for added strength and stability.
Designed by Hallgeir Homstvedt
After completing a BA in industrial design at Australia's Newcastle University in 2006, Norwegian Hallgeir Homstvedt returned home to join the acclaimed design studio Norway Says. Since 2009, he's run his own studio, exhibiting in London, Tokyo, Milan and New York. Homstvedt counts design luminaries such as Lexon, Muuto and L.K. Hjelle amongst his clients.

text: Kellwood Exploring Options for Zobha The decision to separate was mutual given Kellwood's strategic direction to focus on its larger contemporary and juniors brands. By Vicki M. Young on May 6, 2013 NEW YORK — Kellwood Co. is exploring new ownership and investment options for its yoga and fitness apparel brand Zobha.The decision to separate was mutual, according to Kellwood.Zobha was founded in 2008, and Kellwood acquired the Mill Valley, Calif.-based firm in 2011.Since the acquisition, Kellwood has changed its strategic direction to focus its resources on its larger contemporary and juniors brands.Jill Granoff, chief executive officer of Kellwood and Vince, said, "While the brand is not a strategic fit for Kellwood given our focus in our larger apparel businesses, we believe Zobha is poised for growth in a highly attractive market segment with the right investment partner."Jamie Hanna, Zobha's founder and creative director, said that Kellwood has helped the company develop its retail prototype and grow the brand, but "with the new strategy in place we are in agreement that it is time to explore strategic alternatives for the brand."Zobha offers collections for both men and women. The 2011 transaction was completed with the funding assistance of Boca Raton, Fla.-based private equity firm Sun Capital Partners Inc., Kellwood's parent, but the deal and paydown of any debt is on Kellwood's books. Sun Capital acquired Kellwood in 2008 for $762 million. The Zobha transaction was completed when Kellwood was under the leadership of Michael Kramer, its former ceo and Granoff's predecessor, and represented Kellwood's first foray into the activewear space.Zobha is sold in the wholesale channel in specialty stores and yoga studios, and it has an e-commerce presence as well. It also offers loungewear such as T-shirts, tunics and hoodies, and sells accessories for yoga, such as mats and mat carriers. The collection is currently carried in 425 retail locations across 27 countries. Although yoga and fitness apparel has been in the hot category for years, Zobha is nowhere near the size of the industry leader, Lululemon Athletica Inc. Zobha's estimated annual volume is less than $5 million, financial and market sources said.

It's done and no one is getting "PUNK'D" here… (*Sniff*)
Chuck Lorre officially announced that Two and Half Men will end after Season 12 in 2015. CBS ordered 18 more episodes and Lorre promises a season-long event with LOTS of surprises.
Will Charlie Sheen suddenly appear? Not sure how they'd work that one in, but no one was sure how the show would survive at all after Sheen got fired. That turned out better than alright with Ashton Kutcher stepping in as Walden among vets Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones and other cast favorites.
Don't worry Two and a Half Men fans, we at least get another year of the craziness at the coolest Malibu Beach House ever!

A family show that welcomes thousands of visitors each year is to bid farewell to its chairman of 23 years.
Euston Rural Pastimes, which has raised £450,000 for charities, will return to Euston Park on Sunday for its 23rd show.
It is due to be officially opened by its president, Duke Harry Grafton, at 10am.
Chairman Giles Smith, 66, said: "I love the show – we've never had a bad one. It's family fun and a good-value day out."
The retired GP, who will be stepping down after Sunday's event, said it was 'time for someone else to take over'.
Renowned jousting team Knights of the Damned and an air display by Wildcat Aerobatics are to feature among the day's entertainment, along with the popular sheep show and sheepdog trials, gamegoer gundogs, hound display and terrier racing.
The heavy horse show will take place in the Suffolk Ring while the Grafton Ring will be a must for engine enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, there will be a children's area, pet corner with donkey rides, music bands, acres of craft and charity stalls and a food hall and bar.
Euston Church, also open tomorrow, will host a flower festival with proverb theme and Red Rooster will stage a concert in the Hall Gardens tonight and tomorrow.

Mumbai, Sep 16 (IANS) Indian film buffs will soon be able to watch movies from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's 4,000-title library on their TV screens as the Hollywood studio Tuesday announced that the MGM Channel would shortly be launched on Indian cable television.
Addressing a media meet here, Bruce Tuchman, executive vice president of MGM Networks, said that carriage of The MGM Channel would be handled by Star Den Media Services Pvt. Ltd., a distribution joint venture between News Corp's Star India and Den Digital Entertainment Network, one of India leading cable distributors.
"The MGM Channel is currently available in India on DTH platform through Dish TV, But our distribution agreement with Star Den will enable us to widen our reach across 70 million homes in India," Tuchman said.
He also disclosed that the carriage agreement entered into with Star Den would help the channel secure carriage on DTH as well as IPTV platforms, which are now increasingly becoming popular in India.
"The MGM Channel's association with Star Den will help accelerate the channel's reach in India's burgeoning cable television market, considered the world's third largest," Tuchman said.
The MGM Channel will telecast round-the-clock movies from MGM's 4,000-title library, which includes 200 Oscar-winning movies. Tuchman revealed that the channel would also have special programming every week, like Woody Allen's bouquet of movies and the "Pink Panther" series.
He said that in the coming months the channel would air films like "Manhattan", "Network", "A Passage to India", "Midnight Cowboy", "Mystic Pizza" and "Desperately Seeking Susan".
Star Den CEO Gurjeev Singh Kapoor said MGM's compelling movies would bring value addition to the company.
"The association will indeed compliment the best of English programming our company offers to viewers in the country," he said.
A 50:50 partnership between Star India and Digital Entertainment Network (DEN), Star Den distributes 60 TV channels in 10 languages through 6,000 cable operators across India.

Boys Tennis: Wingers' Toivonen stays alive in 2A tournament
MINNEAPOLIS - Isaac Toivonen stood up to some of the state's best.
Playing in his first Class 2A state boys tennis tournament match Thursday at the University of Minnesota's Baseline Tennis Center, the Red Wing junior fought through a marathon first set with No. 2-ranked and fourth-seeded Zach Ekstein of Eagan.
And even after falling 6-4, 6-2 to Ekstein, Toivonen showed resilience in his second match, beating Mahtomedi's Ryan Meger 6-4, 7-6 (7-0) to stay in the consolation bracket.
"I'm really excited to play another day," Toivonen said.
Facing a tall order in the first round, Toivonen fell in the first game and looked to be heading into a 2-0 deficit down 40-love.
"I was really nervous early on; I think everyone could tell," Toivonen said. "I just put some volleys in the net that were super easy."
But after shaking off the nerves, the Wingers' junior battled back to force a deuce, eventually taking his first game of the match, 2-1.
Tied at 2-2, Toivonen and Ekstein played another marathon game, with Toivonen winning another deuce to take a 3-2 advantage, eventually looking in control with a 4-3 lead.
"He lost his head a little bit at times, but (Toivonen) showed himself and he showed me he's capable of playing with the No. 4 seed," said Red Wing head coach Matt Kavanagh.
But the calm, steady play of Ekstein, plus some unforced errors at the net by Toivonen helped the Eagan junior win the final three games to take the first set. Prior to Thursday's match, part of Toivonen's plan was to control play at the net. However, getting the ball over the net became a problem the closer he got.
"I struggled all day long with the net game; that was probably my low point for the day," Toivonen said. "Luckily I hit some good ground strokes at the end of the day or else I wouldn't be playing tomorrow."
Ekstrom's momentum carried into the second set as he took a 2-0 lead before coming away with the two-set victory.
"The first match, he was very capable of winning that match," Kavanagh said. "He certainly could have pulled one out there. He was up 4-3, then he dropped five games straight."
Dropping to the consolation bracket against Meger, Toivonen used a powerful kick serve and his major length advantage to take a 4-1 lead. But the Mahtomedi sophomore adjusted, taking away Toivonen's advantage on the serve to cut the first-set lead to 5-4.
"The first two or three games, my kick serve was at its finest, I guess you'd say," Toivonen said. "He was struggling with it, but he figured it out game four or five. He started getting it back and that was frustrating for me; usually I'm just able to kick-serve, maybe one shot, hit a winner, but he was getting it back."
But Toivonen wanted to keep Meger moving, so he sliced more and kept the Mahtomedi sophomore chasing across the court to win the first set. Toivonen continued to try and move the ball, but the second set became a dog fight as both players swapped the lead.
"Isaac's just so used to getting free points on his serve," Kavanagh said. "He's conditioned to getting two free points a game off his serve, and when that doesn't happen, the frustration can sometimes build on him and he has to grind out the points."
Meger held a 5-4 second-set led before Toivonen tied it, eventually taking a 6-5 lead. As Meger tied the second set at 6-6, frustration continued to mount for Toivonen, but he turned it into something positive, dominating the tiebreaker to come away with the victory.
"It was good to win that tiebreaker so conclusively," Kavanagh said.
Toivonen added, "Meger was a pretty good player, solid all-around. I thought I was going to roll over him and he came back. So I have a lot of respect for him for that."

The John C. and Susan L. Huntington Archive of Buddhist and Related Art at Ohio State University contains nearly 300,000 color slides and black and white photographs of Asian art and architecture taken by art historians John and Susan Huntington over nearly three decades both in the field and in museums. Countries covered in the collection include India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Myanmar. Works photographed date from 3000 B.C. through the present. A large number of the photographs document monuments, architecture, and art works that have since been destroyed, stolen, lost, or modified.
The Hungtingtons have selected, digitized and cataloged more than 12,000 images from this unique collection for inclusion in Artstor. The resulting collection forms a basic, broad corpus of Asian art and architecture.

We are a charity community in Ontario that is looking to help out the parents of infants born too early or still. We transform a donated wedding gown into tiny angel gowns which are delivered to hospitals to be handed out to parents free of charge. Through personal experience we found a need for these gowns. What better way to help parents but to give them one less thing to worry about.
At a time like this any little help is great help. Please, help us to help them with a donation in the form of a donated wedding gown, sewing supplies, gift cards, monetary donation or your seamstress experience.
06/12/16 ... Please, NOTE that we are putting a HOLD on taking in gowns. We have a large inventory at the moment that we are trying to get through. Your donations of wedding gowns have been so wonderful that at times it overwhelms us. We would like to keep the gowns in tip top shape so we have to make sure we have ample space to store them. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
06/12/16 ... SEWING NOTIONS NEEDED - Here are some of our recent Angel Gowns created by our creative seamstresses who put many hours and much effort into their work. We try to use as much decortions from the gowns as we can but other supplimentary decorations are also needed to complete many gowns. We always welcome, ribbon, thread, buttons, clasps, bias tapes and anything else you think suitable. Please, send us an email to find out where you can send your packages. Thank you in advance.
Ontario founder Sherie Vukelic
Sherie's boys - Brandon, the rainbow baby and a preemie and Jaxon, the full term baby. They are now thriving boys of age 6 and 2.
Wedding gowns donated by generous people.
Here is the process we use to go from wedding gowns to angel gowns.
We work hard to turn the wedding gowns into tiny angel gowns.
A couple of weeks ago some seamstresses got together with Sherie for their first sewing bee in Brampton.
A new show has started called Let's Talk Mom that includes an episode on Pregnancy and Infant Loss featuring Sherie Vukelic and other guests.
Brampton has joined other cities around Ontario in recognizing October 15 as being the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day.
Raising awareness for the first Wave of Light on October 15, the day being the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day.
A new video has been made recently about the loss of Sherie and John's twins Liam and Nathan. It was very hard to go through these photos and film again but the story needed to be told. We are glad to have this video to keep the memory forever.
An articles has been written recently in the Spectator about another group of Angel Gown making ladies called Wee Care Gowns and Forever Loved Angel Gowns was mentioned. We are so glad other groups have started as well who will help many bereaved parents to a gown their angel deserves.
There is an article on WN.com that includes a lovely song called Locked up in Our Love by Drago Vukelic, no relation that we know of unless Sherie's dad, also Drago in Croatian has recorded a song when we weren't looking. The lyrics are very touching and the song is worth a listen.
Heather Albanese sews love into every stitch of the 'angel gowns' she creates ... Our wonderful seamstress Heather has been featured on the pages of Inside Halton as a special to the Burlington Post written by Melanie Cummings. From one donated wedding gown Heather usually creates twenty angel gowns of various sizes. Thank you Heather for the work you do.
Recently we've had a contest to find an appropriate logo for Flag cards, letters and photos. We received a few beautiful designs but one stood out to all of us and it was a logo done by Josee Hartrick. She has donated the Jpg file as well as other versions of it for our use. She has also offered any other graphic work we may need done. Thank you Josee for your time and efforts.
A new article has just come out in the Toronto Star talking about Forever Loved Angel Gowns and what the good folk there are doing to help out grieving parents. The article was written by staff writer Tara Deschamps
This article has also appeared in a Hamilton newspaper to bring awarness to infant loss and to let everyone know that it's ok to talk about it and you can also help in doing something worthwhile.
Recently the very first Angel Gown delivery was made to the Civic Hospital in Brampton. It happened on May 31, 2014. We were excited and a bit nervous about our reception at the hospital but the response was overwhelmingly positive.
Sherie has also been featured in the Brampton Guardian on June 13, 2014 with a lovely article written by Radhika Panjwani . Click Details to read the story.
Recently Sherie Vukelic was interviewed by journalist Michele Mandel. The article appeared in the Toronto Sun on Sunday May 25, 2014. She did a lovely article about the work we to here at FLAG. Thank you Michele for such a wonderful article. Click Details for a link to read the article.
Sherie has been invited to a radio talk show Family Caregivers Unite hosted by Dr. Gordon Atherley to speak about FLAG and work we are doing to help bereaved parents with angel gowns. The interview is scheduled for July 7, 2014. Click on Details to listen to the show.
Please consider reading this wonderful post on a blog called From Overwhelmed to Organized by Hilda. She wrote about wondering what to do with her wedding gown of sixteen years. She found Forever Loved Angel Gowns and decided to donate her dress. Thank you Hilda for the dress and this wonderful post called Why I Gave Away My Wedding Gown.

can someone tell me a paint schedule for the mouth on a russian boar? It's just a repair job , I don't know a darn thing about pigs, just had to rebuild the lips , nose and glue back in teeth. would the lips be close to a white-tail in an open mouth?
Return to Gamehead Taxidermy Category Menu
If the boar in question is a true "russian", than definately NOT.
The color you will try to achieve is a whitish grey. Try using super hide
white 10 part's to 1 part payne's grey. You can also add in a dab of
lavender flesh (light!). If you paint the mouth pink, or flesh, you will only
fooling yourself.
thanks alot, I will find out if it was a true russian or not , evidently the guy who mounted it didn't ask what color cuz right now it is flesh and a bad flesh color at that. do ya think I should ask the customer if he wants it anatomically correct or if he wants me to make it look like it did. thanks, shawn
Being that I raise and breed Pure European boar I know exactly what color the skin is inside the mouth. It is a natural flesh color when the boar is alive...The Gray and whitish gray color everyone told you to paint it is the color the boar has after the blood has quit pumping and the skin is not gorged with blood. A more natural color is a natural flesh toned down just a tad...The next time I round some up for shipping I can try and get a pic for you if you are interested.

OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators will open their 2014-15 season in Music City, the Sun has learned.
While a final draft won't be released to the general public until mid-July -- and some minor tinkering could still be done beforehand -- a Western Conference source has confirmed the Senators are slated to begin their schedule with a three-game road trip that commences in Nashville against the Predators Oct. 9, then moves on for games in Tampa versus the Lightning Oct. 11 and Sunrise, Fla. versus the Panthers Oct. 13.
The Senators will then return to Ottawa for four games at Canadian Tire Centre, beginning with their home-opener Oct. 16 against Patrick Roy's Colorado Avalanche.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will make their first of three visits to the nation's capital on Oct. 22. The Senators will also play host to their provincial rivals Jan. 21 and Mar. 21, and take on the Buds at Air Canada Centre Mar. 28 and April 5.
Senators-Habs games will take place in Ottawa Jan. 15 and Feb. 18, and in Montreal Dec. 20 and Mar. 12.

Herbicide killing off monarch butterfly
To the editor:
A blueprint is used to construct a baseball camp with pitching machines. DNA is a spiral helix (twisting) blueprint. DNA blueprints construct proteins and every part of our body. DNA creates all creatures and plants.
The DNA study of cancer identifies 236 mutated human genes, which lead to cancer.
MALDI imaging mass spectrometry was used to classify patients with melanoma cancer remissions and those without remissions (Hardesty 2012). Mass spectrometry identifies the structures of molecules (like toxic proteins or herbicides) which create disease.
Rats eating glyphosate tolerant NK 603 corn, with glyphosate, grew large cancer tumors and developed liver and kidney illnesses (Food and Chemical Toxicology 2012).
Rats eating NK 603, MON 810 (with bacterial toxic protein insecticide Bt-Cry1Ab), and MON 863 corns, developed signs of kidney and liver disease (Int J Bio Sci 2009).
Amphibian and chicken embryos, exposed to trace amounts of glyphosate (less than used in aerial spraying), developed "cranial-facial" defects which match the birth defects of Argentina children, whose mothers breathed aerial sprayed Roundup (Chem Research in Toxicology 2010). Argentina courts mandate non-glyphosate perimeter zones around towns to prevent further human birth defects.
Glyphosate is found in pregnant women and the resilient Bt-Cry1Ab in their fetuses (Reproductive Toxicology 2011). This was not anticipated. Glyphosate damages human umbilical, embryonic, placental cells, and disrupts human hormones (Chemical Research in Toxicology 2009; Toxicology 2009).
MALDI imaging mass spectrometry, discovered Roundup adjuvants (chemicals transporting glyphosate through cell walls), like POE-15, are more toxic than glyphosate to human cells (Toxicology 2012).
If the USDA requires non-herbicide fallow fields to be created around all Midwest towns and country homes, milkweed can be replanted, for the return of the monarch. Farmers would be financially compensated.
Roundup has unintentionally killed off 90 percent of Midwest milkweed, and 80 percent of the Midwest monarch butterfly population (Brower, Insect Conservation and Diversity 2012; Oberhauser, Insect Conservation and Diversity 2012). The monarch caterpillar can only grow its cocoon on milkweed.
Using genetic Markov (4x4) probability matrices, we can substitute the four DNA codons of Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine for four baseball teams: Yankees, Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Cardinals. In a seasonal (4x4) playoff, one team becomes victorious. Switching Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees, gave the Yankees strength and victory. But the Red Sox became weak and "extinct" by the curse of the Bambino. Like this, switching the codon ratios, of A, C, G, T in glyphosate tolerant corn, is inadvertently killing off the monarch butterfly.
The monarch butterfly can lay eggs which hatch to become caterpillars on replanted milkweed. During chrysalis the caterpillar miraculously transforms to a monarch butterfly in the cocoon.
Non-herbicide perimeters, will also protect the real Midwest monarch, the student, from the herbicide health problems. 2,4-D can cause type I Parkinson's disease, to become type II Parkinson's with dementia (PDD).
John Deere can build herbicide proof cabs to protect farmers from glyphosate.
We can build a baseball camp for champions, in a non-herbicide "fair field" perimeter zone.
— Will M. Davis, Fairfield

"One" is the amount, "hundred" is the unit. In "one and twenty-three" it is understood the unit is "one". There is often a difference between the way words, counts or systems are used *technically* and the way normal people use the terms. It is understood most of the time(at least in English, both Brit and American) what form is used and you just go on down the road. I have said this before, and it was ignored. I learned this in school. It was not *new math* (what ever that is) it was algebra. I went to school in the USA, in 1979. The *rule* could have changed due to common usage in that time. I just thought it would be an interesting bit of info for you guys. It is not my rule. I just listen to the words and I know what is meant by the context. I am not arguing anything.I think we all should be Lawyers the way the hair is being split here (I assume that phrase is understood by English speakers?

The 55 Little Free Libraries that will dot Lorain County in the coming weeks are not just a product of the Stocker Foundation's commitment to supporting literacy — although at its core, the initiative is about that.
The wooden-constructed miniature buildings — replicas of barns, churches and even a lighthouse — speak more to the many people who have stepped up to embrace the ideal that all Lorain County children should have plenty of books to read and be able to find them a stone's throw away. It doesn't cost anything to serve as a steward to a Little Free Library but to hear why some people want to care for the libraries is priceless.
Each pays homage perfectly to the vision started by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks.
Bol of Hudson, Wis., built what would eventually be called the first Little Free Library as a memorial tribute to his mother in 2009. Brooks, of Madison, Wis., and Bol put together the ideas and strategies that led to other Little Free Libraries being installed in Minneapolis, Madison and other communities.
Locally, the project is being pushed along by people like 14-year-old Sydney Novak. She got her Girl Scout Gold Award by building two libraries for South Amherst.
Vivian Atkinson, a 55-year-old registered nurse, will steward two libraries — one in Wilkes Villa and another near Prospect Elementary School. She has known about the national Little Free Library program since 2011 and waited eagerly for it to come to Lorain County.
They all have a story about why they love books, were enamored by the Little Free Library initiative and how they will do their part. Each is as unique as the libraries they helped build or will watch over as a steward.
Lynn Novak
For more than 20 years, Lynn Novak has taught high school courses to inmates.
Some are very close to being high school graduates. Others are barely literate. Those are the ones who tug at her heart and make her wonder what could have been different in their lives if they had more chances.
Novak is aiming to break the link between a lack of education and incarceration by stewarding two Little Free Libraries — one near the Grafton Correctional Institution and another by the Grafton Reintegration Center. It is her hope that the books will be a gateway to better lives for children who come to visit their parents and loved ones.
"Literacy is so important," said the Elyria woman. "It's not everything, but when you know the statistics — a child who has at least one parent in prison is more likely to become incarcerated as an adult — you know that everything counts toward something."
Novak boasted Saturday about where some of the most beautifully constructed libraries came from, including a reproduction of a yellow school bus complete with driver in the front window and a red doghouse with a wooden dog — drool included — nearby. They and others were constructed by inmates.
"They know where these books are going, they know the importance, and they are proud they are able to give back to the community," she said. "Being a part of this project has given them a sense of self-worth and purpose."
Vivian Atkinson
Vivian Atkinson is a self-proclaimed book worm.
The 55-year-old registered nurse who loves to snuggle up with her young grandson with a good book said she couldn't imagine her life without reading.
"I have just always loved books, loved reading and going to the library," said the Elyria woman. "I love everything about libraries and books. The way books smell, the way they feel in your hands — just everything."
As a home health care nurse, Atkinson crisscrosses the city, caring for patients wherever they may be. Wilkes Villa, the south Elyria housing complex run by the Lorain Metropolitan Housing Authority, is no different.
There she has seen families just looking for a way to survive and walked away with no judgment.
But as a book lover, the limited access some of the youngest children had to books always stuck out. Her daughter is the director of the South Elyria Horizon Education Center, so she has heard why more books are needed in the area.
That passion and a willingness to volunteer collided this winter when Atkinson read a newspaper article about the Stocker Foundation's Little Free Library initiative. She immediately knew she would steward a library.
"I thought it was a good place for a little library to be," she said. "You don't need a library card, so they don't have to worry about fines or hours. They can take home a book anytime they like."
But in the end, Atkinson became the steward of not one, but two libraries — one at the Horizon center and another near Prospect Elementary School. When asked why she got involved, the wife and mother said it felt like the most natural thing to do.
"Reading is so fundamental. It is the foundation to being a success not just in school, but in the real world, too," she said. "I'm blessed because I love books. My grandson is blessed because he has parents that are readers. But reading is something every child should have and enjoy."
Sydney Novak
Sydney Novak laughed a little when asked if she knew her way around power tools before she set off to build two Little Free Libraries.
At 14, she is the youngest steward to work with the Stocker Foundation.
"No, I didn't know how to use them, but my dad did and he helped a lot," she said. "I supervised."
John Novak was quick to add that his eldest daughter did a lot of the building.
"It was a great father-daughter mentoring experience, and she learned a lot," he said.
Sydney, a Girl Scout with Troop 543 under Troop Leader Sue Pohorence, learned of the Little Free Library initiative through a newspaper article, and it was like a light bulb went off inside her. She was in search of a Girl Scout Gold Award project and is an avid reader.
"It was perfect for me. I'm all about books," said the young teen. "I thought it was meant to be."
Sydney got started in June and just last week the culmination of her hard work was the unveiling of two libraries in her community — one at South Amherst Community Park and another in front of the South Amherst Town Hall.
"It was a long process and a lot of work from getting the Village Council to approve to getting the OK from Girl Scouts," she said. "But I'm really proud of my libraries. They are in places where everyone can use them."
The libraries have only been up for a little more than a week, but Sydney said she is already replenishing the stock.
"It's really a relief to know people are actually using it," she said.

In between a rock and a hard place your mind winds for the worst and always messes up your chain of thoughts.
The truest secret is to lie to your yourself constantly and say its gonna be okay until it eventually becomes evident.
Meditation calls for concentration and books you a reservation to a clearer mind destination.
Its a sensation we all want and hope for on a daily basis.
It brings change even to the lost and hurt faces.
It faces the faces of different faces constantly.
Its like a house of polygamy.
When you walk in the house on a daily basis you face the faces of different faces constantly.
Constant continuum constantly changes that are constantly constant.
The changes we currently faces is mind pollution and nonsense prophecies.
Well I prophesy that mind pollution and prophecies are particularly polluting the mind of those who speak nonsense prophecies.

Now that we are back from our travel bloggers' conference TBEX Toronto, World Winder is on a short travel hiatus. I am looking for ESL teaching and professional development jobs in the NYC area. We are working with local organizations and artists.
Last night we had a chance to see our good friend Jimmy McDonald perform comedy at Levity Live in the Palisades Center. Jimmy has been entertaining crowds for years while giving commentary during Suburbia Roller Derby bouts in Yonkers, New York. We look forward to catching Jimmy again soon.
But for now we"ll have to settle for spotting him on our newest video. This video features footage from Muir Woods in California. Muir Woods is a small park perfect for multi-generational families to have a nice stroll. It is an easy side trip from San Francisco and can be visited in conjunction with wine tastings in Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, or many lesser known regions. We visited Muir Woods and nearby wineries with a crew featuring AWOL, Julie, Jimmy, and the Freak.
The music featured in the video is by an Argentine band called El Atolón de Funafuti. I met them in Buenos Aires. The song is called "Los Cuervos". Thanks to the band and the manager. Check them out at www.elatolon.com.ar

North America increases share of chip sales in 2011
2 comments
LONDON North American companies were responsible for 53 percent of IC sales in 2011 and grew market share, according to IC Insights Inc. (Scottsdale, Ariz.).
South Korea passed Japan for the first time and was ranked second in market share and at the same time Chinese companies grew their share of sales. These regions improved at the expense of European companies.
North American companies gained just over three points of market share in 2011 to account for 53.2 percent of worldwide IC sales, IC Insights said. The figures do not include foundry wafer sales which become chip sales for fabless chip companies. Nor does it include optoelectronic, sensor, or discrete devices. Over the past three years, North American companies have held more than 50% market share.
Taiwanese companies lost just over one point of market share in 2011 due to the extreme weakness of the DRAM market and the corresponding sales decline by that country's memory suppliers Powerchip, ProMOS, and Nanya.
While China continues to attract foreign IC production to its country, including TSMC, Intel, Hynix and soon Samsung, its indigenous IC suppliers held only 1.6 percent of the worldwide IC market. The gain in China's 2011 market share is primarily attributable to the success of its fabless chip companies including HiSilicon and Spreadtrum.
Worldwide IC sales by company headquarters location, not including foundry sales.

Toronto's large Chinese community was well represented at last night's game with the Raptors tipping off against the Houston Rockets and all-star centre Yao Ming.
Ming still drags interpreter Colin Pine around with him for media interviews, but the 7-foot-6 Chinese centre has picked up enough English during his two seasons in the league that he answers most questions in English.
Yao still attracts the largest media scrums in the NBA, no matter what city he is in and last night at the Air Canada Centre was no exception, as a throng of about 40 Canadian, American and Chinese journalists followed him about.
The Rockets may soon have two former members of the Chinese national team as former Raptors centre Mengke Bateer is in Houston training and may soon sign with the Rockets.
First the publications, such as Sports Illustrated, placed the Raptors at or near the bottom in predictions this year. And now the NBA's general managers are dissing the Toronto team. In a recent survey, the GM's put the Raptors right at the bottom of the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division, behind the Knicks, 76ers, Celtics and Nets ... The Raps will kickoff the Read to Achieve program by visiting students at the CN Tower today at 2 p.m. Joining students from St. Gerard School in Mississauga will be Vince Carter, Rafer Alston, Morris Peterson and Roger Mason ... Peterson signed a multi-year endorsement with Reebok this week ... Jim Sann, an assistant coach in Toronto last season under Kevin O'Neill, made an appearance last night as an assistant with the Rockets ... Detroit head coach Larry Brown will be unable to make the trip to Toronto for tomorrow night's game between the Raptors and NBA champion Pistons. Brown underwent surgery to revise a previous hip replacement. The left hip, which Brown had replaced 15 years ago, was recently causing him severe pain.

Olympics 2012 badminton: Li Xuerui beats No.1 Wang for gold
London: China`s Li Xuerui took gold in the women`s badminton singles Saturday, beating compatriot Wang Yihan in three games to continue her winning finals record against the World No.1.
Li, 21, prevailed 21-15, 21-23, 21-17 in a roller-coaster encounter lasting 78 minutes.
The World No.3 raced to a 19-10 lead in the first game before Wang mounted a short comeback.
At 19-15, Wang netted a cross-court net shot to hand her opponent a game point, which Li converted with a trademark drop.
Li went in front in the second game, but Wang took the initiative after winning an epic rally on an outrageous cross-court smash.
Li, who beat Wang in their last two major finals at the All-England Championships and the Asian championship this year, started finding the tram lines toward the end of the set as Wang kept her game together.
But Li`s charge continued and she squandered two gold medal points before Wang turned it round.
Wang earned her own match point and took it with a straight smash that flicked off the net cord.
The deciding set went in waves, as Li would go three or four points ahead only for Wang to draw level.
The pattern took them to 17-all. Wang conceded two points cheaply, then Li smashed down the line for her third gold medal point.
She took the match with a non-returnable body smash, throwing her racquet into the air and letting out a squeal.
Earlier Saturday, India and Russia grabbed their first-ever badminton medals.
India`s Saina Nehwal won women`s singles bronze on Saturday when her opponent Wang Xin broke down with a knee injury after taking the opening game.
Before that, Russian pair Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova crushed Canada`s Alex Bruce and Li Michele to take bronze in the women`s doubles.
That competition was weakened considerably with the disqualification of four pairs, including China`s No.1 seeds Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang, for match fixing.

County Clerk has marriage records from 1875, probate records from 1910 and tax records; Clerk Circuit Court has divorce, court and land records.[1]
When St. Francis County was formed in 1827 the county seat was temporarily located in the home of William Strong, a prominent citizen, until it could be moved to the new town of Franklin. It remained in Franklin until 1840 when it was moved to Madison. In 1855 it was moved to Mt. Vernon. In 1856 the courthouse burned and the county seat was moved back to Madison until 1874 when a vote was taken to move once again to the rapidly expanding Forrest City that began as a railroad construction camp for Nathan Bedford Forrest.[3]
After the original frame courthouse in Forrest City burned in 1874 a brick building was constructed that was used until the current building was built. Many of the earlier record books in the current courthouse are laminated derivatives and a number of originals are stored at the St. Francis County Museum, 603 Front Street, Forrest City, Arkansas.

Record Loss
The county records have been burned three times. The first time was in Mt. Vernon in 1856. During the War Between the States the records were moved to a frame home in the woods. The woods caught fire and the home and records burned. After the records were moved from the brick courthouse in Madison in 1874 to a frame building in Forrest City, they were burned again, ostensibly by someone trying to destroy criminal evidence.[5]
Some deeds have been reconstructed back to the 1860's, but most county records begin in 1873 or 1874.

Did you hear the good news? Team Hawaii and Team USA earned 3rd and 4th place (respectively) last week on the surfing world's grandest stage! I bet those medals look good. A nice flashy bronze for Team Hawaii and an even flashier copper medal for Team USA. Third and fourth place, it must feel good. It makes sense. Three and four are of course both greater, numerically that is, than number one.
The sport of surfing sets aside Hawaii as a sovereign surfing region, separate and divided from the rest of the United States. It's a unique situation. Especially compared to other sports. Scour the ASP or ISA websites and you'll quickly notice that Hawaiians are given their own regional status. You'll see the name Tonino Benson – and the acronym HAW. You'll see Pat Gadauskas – and the acronym USA. Both are Americans, but only one noted as such. According the sport of surfing, Hawaiians are not of, or from, the USA – at least in any official capacity, categorization or classification.
Of course if Team Hawaii and Team USA would combine their efforts under one indivisible nationality they wouldn't be able to show off those flashy 3rd and 4th place medals. So you see, Hawaii's classification does no disservice. Unless you consider surfing super powers Hawaii and USA earning third and fourth place in the world a disservice. Nonetheless, it is, at the very least, sort of peculiar.
Why does the sport of surfing allow for this unique classification for Hawaii and not for say, Florida? One reason, according to the ASP's Wayne 'Rabbit' Bartholomew, is respect.
"Hawaii is the birthplace of surfing and because Duke Kahanamoku gifted surfing to the world, Hawaii has traditionally been recognized as a surfing nation," explained Bartholomew.
I wonder if that's the same great Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku who won gold medals representing the USA in the Olympics games?
"The other reason for this is that for many decades Hawaii has produced many of the best surfers in the world," said Bartholomew. "Hawaii has fielded its own teams in international events such as the ISF World Surfing Championships (1964-72), the ISA World Surfing Games(1978- ) and at IPS/ASP level(1976- )."
Surfers in Hawaii do have a lot of history on their side. When you consider that surfing competitions took place in Hawaii before Hawaii was a State in the union, the regional classification starts to gain some clarity.
"Its (Hawaii's classification as a sovereign surfing entity) beginnings date back to pre-statehood, when the old Makaha contest was going," explained Triple Crown of Surfing director Randy Rarick. "The tradition and heritage has been reinforced during the old International Surfing Federation, the World Contest, and now with the ISA."
That pre-statehood tradition and heritage was reinforced last week with a solid third place medal. But is it time for a change? Will this Hawaiian classification be a roadblock for the ISA's efforts in getting surfing into the Olympic games?
Conventional wisdom is that Hawaii's traditional classification would have no bearing on the International Olympic Committee decision to make surfing a medal sport. Hawaiian surfers would simply be put into the USA reserve of surfing talent, and we would no doubt be strong.
"I am pretty sure Hawaii would be recognized as the 50th state of the Union," explained Bartholomew.
Whoa, talk about outside the box.
All history and tradition aside, the classification makes a lot sense from a practical standpoint. Hawaii is 2500 miles away from the US Mainland and has 750 miles of coastline on eight main islands. Top that off with some of the biggest, gnarliest, and most performance- oriented waves and the classification starts to make real sense. I hear there is movement under foot to classify Utah as a nation-state. After all, the best skiers, snow and mountains are in Utah.
"The Hawaiians benefit by creating a sense of community pride through surfing feats. They would lose out if amalgamated by the dilution of their representative numbers. This detachment and isolation in Hawaii serves the sport and the interests of Hawaii based surfers well," said Bartholomew. "This tradition makes sense and there are no moves to bring Hawaii under the ASP North America banner and we know of no moves to make changes to Hawaii's national status at ISA level."
So, there you have it. As far as surfing is concerned, Hawaii will continue to be its own sovereign state and it's probably a good thing. Can't get enough Bronze and Copper medals. By the way, have you seen the price of copper lately? It is through the roof!

Melissa S.wrote a review of Prana Sugar Skirt - Women's on June 19, 2011
Cute, Comfy, but shorter than sh**
Okay, so this is one cute and functional skirt, but it's so short, I'm not sure if you can call it a skirt or boy shorts with a loin cloth attachment. I thought I might try running in it, but the material, while short, feels more like heavy cotton than a lycra-ish running short. So this is much more of a short-short fashion statement piece than a running skort.
