White Eldrazi
Smmenen TMD Supporter
I played this archetype in the VSL prelim event (my decklist here), based upon the assumption that White Eldrazi was probably the best positioned achetype to attack 1) Mentor strategies and 2) PO strategies. The two people who played this archetype in the last P9 event, I think, came to a similar conclusion.
Without assessing the position of this archetype in the post-AER metagame, and whether or not it gains or loses more from cards like Walking Ballista, I would like to offer a brief comments on this archetype.
I've noticed that many White Eldrazi players play cards like Swords to Plowshares, Disenchant, Rest in Peace, Stony Silence or other white non-creature spells in the sideboard, and sometimes even maindeck. In my experience, and based upon simple math alone, I don't think this deck is capable of reliably playing white non-creature spells, simply because there aren't enough white non-cavern mana sources to reliably cast such spells. 6 white producing lands and Pearl and Lotus is not reliable enough. I think this archetypes colored spell complement has to be strictly delimited to creature spells.
I read Jaco's excellent Eldrazi book before building my list, and one of the things that comes up throughout is the challenge of playing a mana heavy deck. In my experience in the recent metagame, however, I actually found that running a deck with 30 mana sources is an asset. Gush Mentor decks not only run Null Rod effects, but many now run multiple Wasteland effects. I think there is a good case to be made to run 31 or even 32 mana sources post-board in some matchups. In other words, I think that the large mana base, normally a cause of variance and a drawback in most vintage environments, is actually a big upside in the current metagame.
This is especially true with how effective Displacer is in the metagame. A single Displacer and a ton of mana can control a battlefield.
- Finally, based upon my experience with Workshop decks and hatebear/Beats deck, I was not prepared to understand how very difficult this deck is to play by comparison. Aside from the developed technical skills needed to pilot certain strategies, like timing Gush, or the experience needed to identify possible lines in the first place, as with Doomsday or other tutors, this may be one of the most difficult decks to play in the format, in terms of selecting the optimal line of play among multiple available options. Put another way: in some decks, the challenge is spotting the best line, with the best line hidden or less visible. Here, the challenge is evaluating lines, not spotting them. That's something I haven't really seen to this degree in modern Vintage.
One of the problems with Beats and Workshop decks is sequencing decisions based upon imperfect information. Yet, usually the sequencing decisions can be reasoned with a bit of logic and thought. There are probably more situations with this archetype than probably any other I can recall in recent memory where among multiple options, the optimal choice is extremely difficult to identify. Without purporting to definitely identify why, I think there are a couple of key factors behind this:
Almost every decision with the deck is also a role decision, whether to assume the beatdown or try to maintain a soft lock. Therefore, it's not simply a choice of plays, but a choice of roles. And this role framework is shaped not simply by the nature of the matchup, but the configuration of your hand, your opponent's board, and the overall situation (i.e. what turn, what stage of the game, etc.). Even attacking decisions have role implications. For example, whether to attack a player or a planeswalker.
Eldrazi Displacer. In most decks, the main decisions are what cards in hand to play, and whether to attack or not. But, with Displacer, you not only have to select among what spells to play, but whether to play a spell or leave mana up to displace, and if so, what to displace. Displace a TKS to snag a card, or keep up mana to protect your own cards, etc.
Your creatures give you lots of options, multiplying the potential for error. Cards like TKS and Phyrexian Revoker, which is commonly played in the archetype, present wide ranging and open decision making options.
Design challenges. There is a huge range of possible cards to include, but each have trade-offs in different metagame contexts. Some cards are so powerful that they are auto includes, but some are better or worse in different metagames. For example, whether and in what contexts you play Thalia 2.0 or Wingmare.
Land sequencing is challenging. Not only do you have to commit to a creature type with Cavern, but each land drop opens and forecloses potential future lines of play. So you not only have to interface cards in hand and potential lines of play with your mana production possibilities, but you have to develop your mana in such a way as to maximizes your capacity to pursue different routes of play. Workshop mana bases, by comparison, are much easier to play, despite having similar lans diversity.
@Smmenen The first point of your post is exactly why I moved away from Eldrazi Temple/Ancient Tomb and basically went mono white. The mana in that deck can be an absolute nightmare at times, and I've been much happier with my matches since. You do lose out on a few more explosive turns and TKS, but I never even tried Reality Smasher since I didn't think what basically amounts to a dragon is good enough for this format. That's obviously not to say that it isn't as it's won many games including against me, but I'm not sold on the 5/5 trample haste for 5 in a world where you can just die to Tendrils.
I definitely think the deck is strong; but like you said, it really limits what you can include in your deck both mainboard and sideboard. Thankfully, due to the recent upswing in popularity for Fragmentize, I don't think playing Null Rod over Stony Silence is really a liability at this point (assuming that's a card you want to play- and I think it is).

I finished in the top 16 of the MTGO P9 today White Eldrazi with 4 Walking Ballista.
Ballista was easily one of the best cards in my deck. It's the card I wished I would draw more than almost anything else. I had a few game states against Mentor decks where I had tons of mana, a Cavern ready on Construct, and if I topdeck Ballista, I instant win.

@Smmenen very interesting. Did you tend to cast it for 2-4 or more? Did you miss big Thalia at all?
Smmenen TMD Supporter
I never ran Thalia 2.0, because I think it's weak in the most important matchups. I'd prefer to have a Thorn effect like Vryn Wingmare against Gush decks, Null Rod against PO decks, etc.
I had at least one game where I could have cast an uncounterable Ballista for 5, but I didn't draw it.. I don't remember casting it for more than 2, but it's often larger than 2 power.

In my opinion, Thalia 2.0 is good across all matchups but very good against Dredge and, most importantly because it's the weakest matchup, Shops. I would never cut it.
I've been playing this archetype a lot over the past two weeks, and it has potential as an anti-Shops weapon at least until Workshop, Ballista, Tangle Wire, or Sphere gets restricted in a few months. I went 3-2 in non-mirrors in the P9, but have also cashed my last six daily events. The deck has very good matchups across the format. Being pre-boarded for Oath and Dredge, the two decks people most like to play to try to pick on Shops, is just ridiculous.
Some advice:
Play 4 Thalia, Heretic Cathar. She is great in every single matchup. She creates free wins against Shops and Eldrazi if you have her early enough. I have beaten Dredge with her, the smaller Thalia (Smalia), a Wasteland and no other hate. She is great against Paradoxical Outcome because often their only out is topdecking Tolarian Academy. If I had a dime for every Mentor pilot who has wasted their turn trying to flash in a Containment Priest to ambush something I'd have enough to buy a fifth Thalia, and she's like a $4 card! Steve's dismissal of her is ignorant; she's probably the best creature in the deck. I don't trust the judgment of pilots playing fewer than 3.
Play 4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. This is obvious but for some reason people keep playing 3. I like that not everyone plays 4 because it makes it really quick to figure whose lists to ignore.
Play 0 Thought-Knot Seer. The card is weak in your close matchups and unnecessary in your good ones. Cutting this improves every other card in your deck. Your Wastelands get better. Your Thalias get better when you can actually use your Wastelands. Your Reality Smashers get better when you cast them instead of letting them sit in hand. Your Displacers get better because less often does activating them mean a TKS is rotting in your hand. Your mulligans get better. You get to cut some temples for Flagstones, which makes your sideboard options a lot better. Crutching on Temples to cast your mediocre Thought-Knots ripples through your sideboard. By cutting this vanilla 4/4, you improve like 30 cards in your 75.
Play 0 Vryn Wingmare. Three mana for an X/1 is embarrassing against Ballista. This card isn't garbage but usually people who play it are replacing some number of Thalias, which is incorrect. Your worst matchup is Shops. If you build with that in mind, it's at least 50/50, so build with that in mind.
Play 0 Lodestone Golem. This card probably shouldn't even be played in Shops right now.
Play 2-3 Mental Missteps in the board. You don't need redundant Thorns affects. They are marginal against combo because you don't have time to play them all. Misstep is actually good on the draw. It's a blowout against anyone trying to play Swords to Plowshares. This was the lone suggestion of mine Steve actually took, and his matches in VSL illustrated how great a sideboard tactic Misstep is against Gush decks.
Mulligan aggressively. Very rarely keep hands that don't have a turn one play. Use the scry rule.
Eldrazi Displacer is good (and probably correct right now) but not an automatic include. I have played lots of similar, reasonable board-affecting cards. Stoneforge Mystic, Smuggler's Copter, Fairgrounds Warden, Gisela, the Broken Blade, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Archangel Avacyn, Toolcraft Exemplar, Ranger of Eos, Walking Ballista, Hero of Bladehold… there are a lot of rares and mythics you could play.
I turned off the Copter after Ballista came online because of how much removal rational blue players should have for their Shops matchup. Additionally, having an empty vehicle in the face of Ballista isn't a great feeling either.
The core of the deck is so strong it's hard to tell which auxiliary cards are better or worse. It's easy to play the deck, even get good results with it, and have no clue about where your wins are coming from. You have to be pretty honest with yourself and detail-oriented to evaluate what is actually good. You can't be results oriented because even good results are misleading. This is what leads people to continue playing 3 Thalia or Wingmare or Thought-Knot Seer. I've played:
4 Copter, 4 TKS (gave it a second chance to rule it out definitively)
4 Fairgrounds Warden, 2 Gisela, 0 TKS
2 Fairgrounds, 2 Gisela, 4 Copter, 0 TKS
4 Displacer, 4 Copter, 0 TKS
4 Displacer, 2 Fairgrounds, 2 Gisela, 0 TKS
4 Displacer, 2 Fairgrounds, 2 Linvala, 0 TKS
4 Displacer, 1 Fairgrounds, 1 Gisela, 2 Linvala, 0 TKS
What you should take away from that sample is that the core of the deck is so strong that a lot of your other creatures end up being marginal. Displacer is probably correct at the moment because of Shops, but even then, playing 4 Fairgrounds Warden and Linvala/Gisela also seems fine in that matchup.
This deck has an absurd number of matchups that are just close to byes, and it's lone "bad" matchup isn't even that bad. It's the best deck I've played since Rally the Ancestors was in Standard. Contrary to Steve, I think it's a pretty easy deck to play, and I don't doubt its pilots get an edge from lack of mental fatigue.
@wappla Thanks for the awesome write up Wappla, look forward to trying your latest suggestions. I think the major improvement is the cutting of Temple from the Mana base - makes the deck far more consistent. Bravo for that innovation.
Been mostly playing other formats the past few months but look forward to playing this going forward in Vintage. And trying out stuff like Prelate, Ballista and anything else not mentioned above.
Have you ever considered Palace Jailer over Fairgrounds Warden, or is the mana cost too much of an issue?
@msg67183 it's probably fine, but it doesn't exist online.
@wappla awesome write up
I've played W eldrazi and always felt like TKS was the worst card in the deck.
I also agree with new Thalia. 4 seems solid, and I like Linvala and the Fairgrounds Warden is also great in some mu's
But the best thing with W Eldrazi is the fact the game 1 mu's vs dredge and Oath are amazing
@wappla said in White Eldrazi:
@msg67183 it's probably fine, but it doesn't exist online.
That sucks. Fairgrounds Warden is the best option there? Seems meh imo.
When you consider that it usually costs the same as Swords to Plowshares in a Thorn mirror (the matchups you want it most in) without Plow's drawback and with the bonus of a 1/3 body (hard enough to kill with Ballista and big enough to block Factories and Revokers), yeah I think so. Unlike Path, Plow, or Dismember, it can just be cast and attack in irrelevant matchups. Note that it combos with Priest the same way Displacer does, making it better than this effect usually is.
All that said, whether you want any removal at all is definitely an open question.
Can't believe you want to play dudes with WW in their casting costs...
I'll give that fairground a try.
I tried copter in shop and didn't like it because it was pretty slow and hardly beat by revoker (and could not use one to remove the other one I was drawing....)
I'm playing like two cards with WW and they cost four or five mana. If you haven't drawn double-white by the time you are casting them, then you have drawn such a density of other effects you are winning anyway.
The matchups I want them most, I also have Ghost Quarters post-board. These can fetch another white source if necessary.
While I'm not on Copters either at the moment (specifically because everyone has a ton of artifact removal and/or Stony Silence in response to a correct expectation of how good Ravager Shops are) please note that Copter is a different card in a shops deck with 25 mana sources and White Eldrazi, which has 28 or 29. This mana base is the endemic problem of the archetype, you flood a lot but also can be pretty weak to Wasteland. Copter is good at attacking this problem while being a fine card otherwise. You also play 4 copies of two different legends and have matchup-dependent hatebears like Revoker and Priest. Looting is just drawing a card in this deck.
There was $30 entry tournament at The Geekery HQ, in Astoria, NY this weekend.
I think there were 16 players, but the final standings had 14 players. Maybe some players dropped and I just did not pay attention.
5 rounds, cut to top 4.
Lands-20:2 Karakas5 Plains
Artifact-14:1 Mox Jet1 Mox Ruby1 Sol Ring
For some reason I cannot find my notepad, so I do not have the play by play, but I will list the matchups and the results.
R1: Sylvan Mentor (2-0? I don't quite remember, I apologize.) (ended up 4-1)
R2: Bomberman Oath (2-0)
R3: Jeskai Mentor (2-1)
R4: White Eldrazi (1-2) (This person had a better sideboard for the mirror, and went 5-0.)
R5: Ravager Ballista Shops (2-1)
My opponent for Rd 4 was 1st in standings, I was 2nd, another Shops player was 3rd, and my opponent for Rd 1 was 4th. Upon reaching Top 4, we all decided to split the prize, and as such, there is no report for Top 4 matches.
I did not play any 1 drops (except Sol Ring) intentionally to blank Mental Misstep. This hurt in my mirror match, as I had no StP for opposing Displacer. Opp won games 2 and 3 due to him wrecking my lands and then using Displacer / Containment combo to clear my board. Both games 2 and 3 his life total was low, but I could not kill him fast enough before he was able to use Displacer to win.
I ended up sideboarding in the Fairgrounds Warden in every single game. I was desperate for more removal, as the Displacer combo did not show up in most games. It worked very well in the Bomberman Oath matchup. Game 2 I ended up using Thought-Knot seer to exile Auriok Salvagers in opp's hand, then he Oath'd a Blazing Archon. I used Warden to exile the Blazing Archon, and opponent did not Oath for the rest of the game.
- I believe my sideboard needs a little work. HOWEVER, THIS FEELING IS PRIMARILY DUE TO MY INEXPERIENCE IN VINTAGE.
Rest in Peace was useless, at least for the matchups I had, but it is vital for the Dredge matchup.
Leyline of Sancticty is for Oath and Tendrils.
Stony Silence and Kataki are for Shops and Paradoxical Outcome matchups.
I wish the Fairgrounds Wardens were in the maindeck.
I know @wappla has had success with White "Eldrazi", you should talk to him about it. He cut Thought Knot Seer and Eldrazi Temple from the list.
@aceofjacks Nice list, looks very solid (apart from all the W cards in the SB).
How come you cut Ancient Tomb? Too much damage in the mirror and against Shops?
On your SB, I think I would play Null Rod/Grafdiggers over Stony Silence/Rest in Peace, just to ease the W mana burden.
Leyline seems alright, but that might be better as Mental Misstep, since it's much easier to cast. Aegis of the Gods and Spirit of the Labyrinth are other options (the latter also useful against Mentor), but they're more vulnerable to removal.
@msg67183 Cutting TKS is maybe fine in this meta, but doesn't that make Cavern of Souls much worse?
I've seen @wappla 's version but I feel like you might as well just cut the Eldrazi entirely and play Human/Angel Stompy then.
I prioritized the ability to get White mana over Ancient Tombs, as I did not think Ancient Tomb was that important. Adding a 15 white card Sideboard meant that I needed to have White mana in every opnening hand if possible. The only thing that NEEDS multiple colorless are the Eldrazi. With any other land + 1 Mox, I can cast most of the 2 drops in the deck.
I went for enchantments over artifacts for multiple reasons.
1- No Grafdigger's Cage or Pithing Needle so as to blank Mental Misstep. I already have 1 Sol Ring as the ONLY target, and I like to make my opponents have as many dead cards as possible.
2- No Null Rod, as it helps to partially blank cards like Ancient Grudge and Hurkyl's Recall. Not to say that an opponent might actually USE Hurkyl's Recall against me, but hey, you might get lucky against that guy who doesn't know the correct sideboard plan.
3- No Aegis of the Gods or True Believer in an attempt to lessen the effect of Supreme Verdict and Balance, both of which resolved against me when I played this weekend. With Balance, I still have a lock piece on the table, whereas with the creatures, I have nothing but mana sources on the table.
4- I originally had 2 Spirit of the Labyrinth in the sideboard where the 2 Fairgrounds Wardens were, but I made a (literal) last minnute change to add the creature removal in it's place. I chose to lean heavily on Thorn/Thalia effects, and have removal with 3 toughness instead of shutting down card draw. If all your spells cost 3 or 4 mana, then you can spend 3 mana to draw a card, and do nothing for the rest of the turn, pretty much Time Walking yourself.
I consider the mentality of "Mono White Time Walks" when I play this deck. Barring my opponent is playing hyper-control, always having a Force of Will, Swords to Plowshares, Lightning Bolt, or "insert the right answer at the right time" in EVERY draw step, I am going to get at least 2 free turns against them over the course of the first 5 turns. Turn 1 Thorn/Thalia, turn 2 Thalia 2.0, turn 3 T-K Seer or Reality Smasher, seems like a "nuts" draw for this deck, but it happens more often than you think.
It's almost like a Shops deck, in the sense that you make your opponents spells cost more, make their lands come into play tapped, thus buying you a few extra turns to beat them with dudes. By the time they can stabilize, you have them at less than 6 life. Just push trough the last points of damage if you can.

DANVILLE — Police have arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with the April murder of a 26-year-old man in Danville.
Director of Public Safety Larry Thomason said that Robert L. Butler of Danville was arrested by Danville police at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the area of English and Franklin streets in connection with the April 13 murder of Jamal Sampson.
"A warrant issued for three counts of first-degree murder was obtained by police and Mr. Butler was taken into custody without incident," Thomason said in a news release Thursday morning. The warrant has no bond.

Scientists look to place a pro-science president
Frustrated by their government's position on the environment, climate change and stem cell research, a group of US scientists have decided to take matters into their own hands and actively promote the election of a president in 2008 who is more receptive to science.
Scientists and Engineers for America plunged into politics last week with the aim of campaigning for particular candidates, starting with the 2006 mid-term elections. SEA says that "scientists and engineers have a right, indeed an obligation, to enter the political debate when the nation's leaders systematically ignore scientific evidence and analysis."
SEA's main targets will be the Bush administration and the Republican leadership, says executive director Mike Brown. "[They] are the source of a lot of the problems we've identified."
So far, the pitch has struck a responsive chord. Within days of the group being announced on27 September, nearly 2500 people had signed up as members.

Ram Charan to produce his father Chiranjeevi's 150th film
Telugu star Ram Charan is all set to produce his father, South icon Chiranjeevi's 150th film.
Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan
Directed by VV Vinayak, the film in Telugu was launched in Hyderabad over the weekend.
It is a remake of the Tamil flick, Kathi. Ram Charan had always wanted to do something special to celebrate his father's 150th film milestone and what better way than to produce it himself? The film is slated for a Pongal 2017 release.

"This facility here is really … terrific, for lack of a better way to describe it," said Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Spanning five acres 50-feet beneath the Capitol, it's got lots of "really terrific" statues, artifacts, theatres, dozens of restrooms, and even a replica of the Capitol dome above, CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.
Attkisson asked one visitor, a 9-year-old boy, "Do you have any rough idea of how much something like this costs?"
"Like, uh, 100 million bucks or something like that?" said Jamie.
Actually more, Jamie. Much more.
"People are telling you it's 'really nice' inside when you go to see it, but it's $621 million - it oughta be nice!" said Steve Ellis of the nonprofit group Taxpayers for Common Sense.
It was a vision that started out at $261 million dollars; but it crossed the finish line at $621 million.
Ellis calls it Congress' ego trip, skylights and all.
"There's these skylights that are up on the plaza, and they say, 'well, it's great that you can see the dome,' you know, through the skylight, which it's like, well, you can stand right here and see the dome," Ellis said.
Taxpayers who took the tour today enjoyed it, but they know it cost them dearly.
"It was probably an exercise in government inefficiency," one said.
Another tourist said, "It really is an expensive place to visit, that's for sure. And the restaurant's not cheap either, by the way."
No matter. At least visitors to the Capitol no longer have to wait in the snow or the sweltering sun, and isn't that what really counts?
"In the summertime, because the high humidity and how hot it gets in here, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol," Reid said. "That is no longer going to be necessary."
The brand new Capitol Visitors Center? Six-hundred and twenty-one million dollars.
Not having to smell sweaty tourists? Priceless.

Search engine crawlers have a tough time indexing tables and frameworks, plus they make web pages pack a lot more slowly for site visitors.
If you want your site to be extremely placed by the search engines, it is essential to choose the best key words and phrases for your site. You wish to stay clear of both extremely broad key words that are made use of by numerous websites and overly narrow key words, that couple of individuals will think to look for.

A father forbids a history professor from marrying his daughter when he discovers that the captivating lecturer is actually an immortal who has lived for thousands of years.

"Very predictable."
I didn't care for this one as much as the other Twilight Zone Radio Dramas. I found it to predictable.
"Great acting, good story."
As usual too much of the story is explained in the publisher's summary. Thankfully it doesn't ruin this very good episode. Tension, great acting and some unpredictability makes this a very good listen.

Every year the Sno-Tigers host many different events. Some to help the community , some to show appreciation for our supporters, and then a few events just to have some fun with our friends in the club.
The fall season kicks September with our annual fundraiser. September will be our Steak Fry and Raffle. This gets us geared up for setting up trails in November. After the trails open in December is when we host our Snowmobile Safety Training for those seeking their certificate, and we also hold our Holiday Party for members.
Throughout the season the club hosts a number of different Hot Dog Roasts on the trail to give an additional treat to those using our trails. We are also looking at hosting a new event called a Snodeo.
As the season comes to an end and the trails close on April 1st, our members always like to say thank you to the people who donate their land for us to run our trails across. To show our thanks to these families, we invite them to our annual Land Owners Dinner.
Now we don't want to miss out on some summer fun either, so members get together for a summer picnic and golf outing to enjoy the warm weather and get excited for the upcoming snowmobile season.


text: After seein Lugnutz post on mashed potato and gravy fattie I was inspired to make my own for a mid day snack. I really needed to add more meat to the smoker like I needed a hole in my head, but what the heck. I needed lunch! So here it is.. My loaded baked potato fattie. 1 chub of Jimmy Dean maple breakfast sausage (the only ground meat I had available) 1 package of "Idaho Reds" mashed Loaded bake potato (minus 1/2 cup water for stiffness) I used about 2/3 of what the package yeilded. 2 chopped green onions straight out of the garden About a cup or more shredded colby jack cheese Other than a bit of salt in the tater water, I added no additional seasonings Here it is ready for the roll up and bacon wrap. All rolled up and heading to the freezer for 20 minutes Pulling it out of the smoker at 165° internal. Used Hickory and Pecan for this smoke. The upper grate is about 280° AS you can see I really didnt need to add another piece to this smoke, but hey I needed lunch The obligatory sliced pick. This by far was the BEST fattie I have ever done. Not sure where the maple flavor went out of the sausage, but the over all flavor of this was outstanding. It was also a real easy fattie to make. Thanks for checking out the Q.

the name of one of the cities of refuge, in the tribe of Benjamin (Josh. 21:18). The Jews, as a rule, did not change the names of the towns they found in Palestine; hence this town may be regarded as deriving its name from the goddess Anat. It was the native place of Abiezer, one of David's "thirty" (2 Sam. 23:27), and of Jehu, another of his mighty men (1 Chr. 12:3). It is chiefly notable, however, as the birth-place and usual residence of Jeremiah (Jer. 1:1; 11:21-23; 29:27; 32:7-9). It suffered greatly from the army of Sennacherib, and only 128 men returned to it from the Exile (Neh. 7:27; Ezra 2:23). It lay about 3 miles north of Jerusalem. It has been identified with the small and poor village of 'Anata, containing about 100 inhabitants.
Historical Examples
Jeremiah himself, for instance, would have had no more hesitation in drinking wine than in sowing his field at anathoth.
Expositor's Bible: The Book of Jeremiah William Henry Bennett
It is Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests in anathoth.
Jeremiah Stefan Zweig
He was born in anathoth, a little village of Judæa, and being the son of a priest was consecrated to the priesthood from birth.
Michelangelo Estelle M. Hurll
He banished him as a "man of death" to his inheritance at anathoth.
The History of Antiquity, Vol. II (of VI) Max Duncker
Between the Ashtaroth and the anathoth the difference was but in name.
Patriarchal Palestine Archibald Henry Sayce
It would seem as if anathoth were less corrupt than the capital, the moral state of which so shocked Jeremiah.
Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 15, Slice 3 Various
His uncle Shallum and the latter's son Hanameel (his mother's relations) possessed landed property in anathoth.
History of the Jews, Vol. I (of 6) Heinrich Graetz
We next hear of Baruch in connection with the symbolic purchase of the field at anathoth.
Expositor's Bible: The Book of Jeremiah William Henry Bennett
But the difference will not affect my point, which is that the words seem to imply the contingency of Jeremiah's leaving anathoth.
The Expositor's Bible: The Prophecies of Jeremiah C J Ball
Jeremiah shows special concern for Benjamin, in whose territory his native anathoth was situated.
Expositor's Bible: The Book of Jeremiah William Henry Bennett

We started as a small group of friends who got together randomly for lunch for the simple purpose of catching up and sharing some good food! That's when we first heard the story of the "9 Nanas" (click here to read their story). These ladies did good in the world with what they had--MaMaw Ruth's amazing southern pound cake recipe! A light went on, so to speak, in one of our friend's head and in her heart. She knew we could make a difference in our community, too! We started out quietly leaving groceries on the door steps of grieving families. From there, we developed the "Wee Care" Grocery program, the Angel Gown program, the Remembrance Ornament, and the ideas continue to come! So here we are now--a group of friends and mothers (and a lawyer too) with tender hearts and willing hands pooling together our resources doing good things and bringing a little bit of light to grieving families.
We are an Oregon 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation with a mission to serve families who unexpectedly and suddenly lose a minor child or a parent in a minor child's family unit.

Clinton Campaign to Celebrate Election Night in This Symbolic Manhattan Venue
Election Day is quickly approaching and so too could one of the most historic moments for the United States: the potential shattering of the "highest, hardest glass ceiling" if Hillary Clinton wins.
In a seemingly perfect event location for the momentous night, thousands of people are expected to gather inside New York City's Javits Center.
This convention hall is enclosed with a glass ceiling and walls. Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump also "had a hand in developing" it.
There's a chance that come election night, the sun just may set on a "ceiling-less" convention center.

My funny accent hails from Edinburgh and I went to vet school in Glasgow just like James Heriot - though it was a bit more modern by 1985!! I worked in mixed practice in the North of England for a couple of years before migrating to Perth W.A.
My husband Tony, my son Sean and I moved to 80 acres near Uki in January 2000.
We now keep a small herd of dairy goats as well as 3 cows, a bunch of chooks, an old black lab cross dog called "Storm" a middle aged golden lab called "Angel",2 young cheeky female cats "Poppy" and "Lola" and one extremely elderly birman cross puss called "Horrie".
Joan and I took over MVC on Valentines Day 2003 and it has been a real roller coaster ride since then. As most of you know we lost Sean in March 2004 and keeping the business going through the haze of grief was both challenging and rewarding. Joan and I are very lucky to have a great business partnership and fantastic staff.
After 3 years of IVF our little miracle, Gabriella was born on 11th June 2008. I now work 3 days a week and life is busier than ever!!
I had major back surgery in 2011 and no longer do much large animal work because of this. I am finding plenty of dog, cat, rabbit and even bird surgery to keep me busy though and I still enjoy talking to our farmers when they pop in for a coffee or to pick up some medications.
Tony, Gabi and I continue to travel a lot as we have family in the UK and Germany. I don't have much time for hobbies these days and my back injury has stopped me horse riding but you will often find me swimming (badly!) in the Murwillumbah pool, walking the dogs or bike riding on Chowan Creek Road trying to keep as fit as I can and fighting the constant battle with my weight.
As this is the 'personal' part of our web page, I just want to say how much I have appreciated the support of those clients who have been so encouraging during all of the difficult times and have made the clinic more like a second home than a workplace. Our family was lucky to find such a wonderful part of Australia!!!
Special Interests: cattle obstetrics, canine medicine, fear free consulting.
The daughter of dairy farmers hailing from Warwick, I always wanted to be a vet. As a young child I would make rugs from hessian bags for any sick calf and sneak them into the hay shed to recuperate. Dad was not particularly happy when they pooed all over the hay!!
I graduated from Qld Uni in 1989 and count myself lucky to still love my job after 25 years. In 2015 I caught up with friends from vet school and found many of them were no longer in practice and were engaged in careers as diverse as IT and human medicine. I I started out in dairy practice in Kerang, Victoria where I learned lots of tricks for dealing with difficult calvings. Today, those skills stand me in good stead for even the most difficult bovine obstetrical case. Having "double jointed" elbows also helps!!
My family, husband Neil and children, Charlie and Summer are my greatest joy.
We have 2 pets, a Grey cat called Sparkles that was a birthday present for Summer in 2014 and an elderly pound rescue dog named Tandy.
My free time is very fitness oriented. Almost every Tuesday, I walk up Mt. Warning with a friend with our eyes on the clock trying to improve our time. I enjoy CROSSFIT and do extra running and swimming training for triathlon. I do Saturday triathlon during Summer as much for the camaraderie as for the personal achievement.
As the children are getting older they have developed interests outside of school and now play soccer, go horse riding and also triathlon. Summer loves gardening and animals. Charlie is an avid reader and has a great, infectious giggle. Neil and I are always challenging them to try their best.
At the end of 2015 we are going on a fantastic holiday to have Christmas with Neil's family in England and then meet our World Vison Sponsor child in South Africa.
My name is Christine and I'm the newest member of the team at Murwillumbah Veterinary clinic. I grew up in Chinderah and have always been surrounded by animals.
After accepting my early offer into vet school, I decided to get an insight into the industry and that's when Joan and Steph hired me as a vet nurse.
After working for a year at the clinic I set off on my big adventure over to Perth to start my veterinary degree at Murdoch University. Whilst I love all creatures great & small, my passion for feline and equine medicine grew throughout my degree. Unexpectedly, I developed a particular interest in dairy goats after my part-time volunteer work as a midwife on commercial dairy farm.
When I wasn't at uni, or I'd lost the continuous battle with my cat for space on study desk- you'd either find me out in paddock with my goat pals or in the arena riding my horse.
Throughout my degree I maintained contact with the clinic and continued to do work placement with the Murwillumbah team. I've always love the area, the clientele and the variety of cases the clinic take part-in, that I decided to do a lot of my final training under the guidance and support of the Murwillumbah Veterinary team. As I came towards the completion of my studies, Steph and Joan offered me a position as a new graduate veterinarian, to which I was very honoured. I feel very blessed to start my career in such a beautiful part of the world, with the help of the very supportive and lovely team at the Murwillumbah Veterinary Clinic.
I came to Murwillumbah after working in the Northern Territory, and worked with the Mur'bah Vet team since then, around 5 years.
Now I am a fly in, fly out vet from Rockhampton when they need me down here to give the others a break. I am lucky to find that it is lovely to be home at Murbah Vet again. I love mixed practice because of the diverse and challenging cases it offers and I am particularly proud to be part of the 2015 Australian Mixed Veterinary Practice of the Year. I enjoy my rewarding role in your pets' and livestock's lives, and being part of the Murwillumbah crew.
In my personal menagerie I have a cat called Terry, two pythons Nynaeve and Ba'alzamon, a native bee hive, and a husband called Ant.
I'm one of the newest to the team at the Clinic, but probably the oldest in age and have a long-time connection to the Tweed Valley, where I settled with my young family in 1981, having grown up in Victoria and then lived in the Northern Territory.
Since that time, I've mostly lived on small acreages, including at Eungella by the banks of the Oxley for 15 years, and living for 7 years in Uki. I've recently moved back to the area from the Canungra area, and being back at work in Murwillumbah feels like coming home. It's a bit of a treat to recognize so many people who visit our Clinic with their pets.
I'm very lucky to have 7 grand-daughters which I call my 'netball team'. I also have a very spoiled pussycat called Misha who I rescued a couple of years ago from an animal shelter. She owns my house, my couch and my bed, and I run around after her, and she thinks I'm weird. In other words, she is a typical cat. When my boys were young, we had the usual menagerie of cows, goats, birds, lizards, dogs, cats and guinea pigs. I drew the line at snakes however. It's interesting watching the boys with their kids trying to recreate their own menageries as well, although the eldest grand-daughter has a pet carpet snake, and I'm in no hurry to check it out!
I have a background in organisational management, but not in the animal care industry, so it's all a bit of a learning curve at the moment. I am enjoying being part of a wonderful team of caring individuals, and also being able to support the Clinic in the development of systems and infrastructure. My baptism into life at the Clinic included organising the clinic expansion and new signage in 2015, and we are all thrilled with the results.
I love the odd adventure, and am looking forward to going to an art retreat in France later in 2016. That, my family, spending time with my friends and enjoying the beach are how I spend my precious leisure time.
I have been working at MVC for 34 years! I was born and bred in Murwillumbah and am married to Ron. I have 2 adult children Carolyn and Craig, five grandchildren and a large extended (and extremely social) family. I enjoy cooking for family nights in but also enjoy going out to dinner.
We live out at Condong on a property where I lived as a child and we run cows, chooks and greyhounds. I have been involved with greyhounds for over 28 years and we race (reasonably successfully) and breed them. My knowledge in this area comes in handy at work too!
I started working at MVC with the previous owners while my children were at school, at first doing afternoon work then as they got older I moved to full time work both in the office and nursing. Since Steph and Joan took over I have watched the place grow and change in great strides.I am happy to admit I was a bit nervous about what those changes might be after working with the same people for so long!
I am now the head surgical nurse at the clinic. I do admissions, pre meds for surgery, assist the vets during surgery and ensure the recovery of your pet after. I also do the ordering for the clinic so if there is something we don't carry come in and talk to me. As the clinic has grown, keeping on top of inventory is difficult and I am having to learn new computing skills - just goes to show you CAN teach old dogs new tricks!
I still love working with the animals here and the rest of the staff are like extended family to me now after so many years together. Its lovely to work somewhere where just about every face that comes in the door is someone you know. This is one of the delights of living in such a great Australian country town.
I grew up on a remote farm in central New South Wales so my animal experience began early and included a lot of sheep!
I have been married to my husband Ted for 38 years and have a son, a daughter and 3 grandkids. We have lived on our property at Kielvale for over 27 years.
I have worked at Murwillumbah Vet Clinic for 25 years, seen a lot of changes and now consider myself part of the furniture! What I love most about working here is interacting with the farmers and getting to share the lives of our client's pets from birth to death. I like the staff parties and outings a fair bit too!! We are a pretty sociable lot in here.
You might also recognise me from the Tweed Jockey Club where I have worked on race days for 24 years. As you can see I am a bit of a stayer.
My hobbies include breeding all kinds of birds and fowl from tiny wrens to blue egg laying chooks, peacocks and guinea fowl. This has given me a bit of a reputation for being the 'bird expert' at the clinic.
I love my blue heelers and cats too and am pretty keen on snakes and Aussie wildlife and tropical fish. Actually I really enjoy fishing too especially for bass and luderick.
I always joke they won't get rid of me from the vet clinic until I am carried out in my coffin!
I joined the team in May 2009 after 8 years vet nursing experience on the Darling Downs. The staff and clients at MVC have made me feel very welcome.
Nurses are really 'hands on' here and this adds to my experience and training to help to make me even better at my job. Everyone in our clinic is really encouraged to take part in continuing education and I have completed a radiology course and one in pathology.
One of my favourite parts of the job is being able to reassure worried pets and make them feel more secure in a stressful situation. I feel this is an aspect of vet nursing that I do very well and I can let owners know that their pet is in safe and caring hands and will be comfortable while at our clinic.
I run the Puppy Preschool classes here at MVC and new classes are starting all the time. It is great to have the chance to set little puppies off on the right foot towards a long, happy and healthy life and let's face it, who wouldn't love a job where you can hang out with puppies!
Some of my hobbies are traveling, particularly camping under the stars in the bush all around this great country we live in. I enjoy creating woodwork items and have made fabulous chairs and tables and even some works of art. Photography is another passion and this takes me to all sorts of places looking for the perfect shot!
My husband David and I purchased the Uki Supermarket in 2010 and so plan to stick around this area for a long time. I find the people in this region very open and friendly and am grateful to the clinic for giving me so much opportunity for growth. I do what I love, and I love what I do. Who can ask for more than that!
I have worked at Murwillumbah Veterinary Clinic for over ten years starting just after Joan and Steph took over as a volunteer student and working my way up to a more senior position .
All the staff at MVC are wonderful people, we are more like a second family than just workmates. I work mostly in the hospital kennel area, directly with the inpatients and recovering surgery patients, keeping them comfortable and clean and warm.
I am also in charge of surgical nursing when Robyn has her Fridays off or is on holiday.
We really are a team here though and everyone helps each other as needed being ready to turn our hand to most tasks. Vet clinics commonly have emergencies requiring all hands on deck at any time.
I always knew I wanted to work with animals. My first job was at a pet store called 'Noah's Bark'. I worked there for around seven months until the shop was sold.
I volunteered for Friends of the Pound shortly after that and have maintained my interest in animal welfare ever since. I particularly find it a rewarding experience when former pound animals are desexed here, recover and go home to their loving new owners.
I have completed Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
A lot of clients will probably recognise me from my other employment as a dental nurse upstairs at Biltoft's dentist.
It's an extra treat to help you again with your animals downstairs especially if you have any insurance queries or a puppy I can cuddle!!
Of course my passion has always been animals and so I was thrilled when I was asked to join the clinic as a receptionist in April 2008.
I have an extensive knowledge of horses. Since a small child I have competed successfully in Pony Club, Agricultural Shows and even won at Royal Show level. My experience varies from riding and competing to judging and instructing. This eventually led me to become a riding instructor for 5 years with the Australian Racing Institute at the Cabarita Beach and Murwillumbah Campus. I was involved with teaching international students about all aspects of the racing industry from horse care to riding and this was where I met Joan and Steph. We had many a conversation while gelding a colt!!!
I have been involved with the racing industry for 30 years now, up early daily to ride track work and care for the horses, each horse having its own individual needs and I am still learning all the time.
I don't have much free time but I am keen on keeping fit, lifting weights and running
Since joining the team here at the clinic, every day is exciting and I am enjoying continuing to master new skills. Those skills now encompass many areas of veterinary nursing as well as front desk duties.
At home my human family includes 2 wonderful daughters Lauren and Sheridan, while my animal family consists of a cockatiel, 6 cows (including a gorgeous jersey cow!), 1 dog, 2 cats and, of course, my horses!
From a very young age I have always had a love for animals.
My very first pet was a pearl cockatiel called Pepsi who was always keen for a bike ride and my most current pet is a nine year old Staffie called Rhylee who loves to ride shot gun on car trips. I also have a lovely puppy named Keisha.
At the end of year 10 I signed up for a school based traineeship with Murwillumbah Vet Clinic which included a 2 year TAFE course in animal studies.
I have now completed Certificate IV in Vet nursing.
In my spare time I play inline hockey and enjoy going to the beach with my friends.
I became 2014 Hills Vet Nurse of the Year on 10/10/14 at an award ceremony is Sydney. It is an honour to be recognised by the community at large and my fellow vet nurses.
I grew up on a 400 acre turf farm in the Lockyer Valley which also ran Hereford cattle. We were never without a menagerie of pets including the family dog "Zac" the German Shepherd, many farm cats, poddy calves, sheep, horses, pigs and chooks. I knew from an early age I wanted to work with animals and was fortunate to find my husband (local Master Farrier Andrew O'Brien) shared a similar passion.
My first job as a Veterinary Nurse was at the Saleyards Veterinary Clinic in Gunnedah NSW where I gained my practical knowledge whilst undertaking my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing through Tamworth TAFE. Soon after completing my certificate we moved to the Sunshine Coast where I worked at Maroochydore Vet Clinic for two years before moving again to Ipswich and working at Moreton Vet Hospital until 2008.
Finding our property at Uki was a dream come true where my husband and I feel we have truly found 'home'. We absolutely love the area and feel blessed to be able to raise our three children here. Alec is seventeen, Ella fifteen and our youngest, Lily, is five years old. We have a dog named 'Bill', a gorgeous Burmese named 'Selene', eleven cows, five horses, two budgies, two lovebirds, loads of fish...
The team at Murwillumbah Vet Clinic really are like a family which I'm very grateful to be a part of. Everyone is truly dedicated to providing high quality care to the patients we see and have a genuine interest and care in their wellbeing. I also love the emphasis on continuing education and really enjoyed the recent Veterinary Nurse Conference in Brisbane.
On a Monday and Thursday you might see me cruising around in my wagon while I undertake my mobile grooming business, "The Waggin' Tail".
All of this keeps me very busy but I manage to squeeze in some swimming, running and cycling and try to make it to the club triathlons on a Saturday morning. I also enjoy yoga, reading, bushwalking, travelling and camping with my family.
Hi, I am Dionne and live on 2 acres in the Hinterland with my husband, Nick and our cattle x kelpie rescue girl Maxi. Nick and I returned from living in England for two years in November 2013. This made for perfect timing to start training for a long wanted career change from the clothing industry to becoming a Qualified Veterinary Nurse.
In November 2014 I completed my Certificate II in Animal Studies. Then in February 2015 I started at Murwillumbah Veterinary Clinic as a volunteer trainee nurse while studying Certificate IV Veterinary Nursing at Lismore TAFE. At the end of 2015 I finished the course successfully!
Now, I am fortunate enough to have been employed at Murwillumbah Vet Clinic as part of the Vet Nurse team. This has given me the opportunity to teach puppy preschool at the clinic too, which I love. Being a mixed practice makes for a wonderful place to work. The staff are a great team, friendly, professional and happy to share their knowledge, which they have a lot of.
My enthusiasm for animals has been one that has grown over the years. I have a soft spot for dogs and love the range of companion animals out there. I like learning about all animals, they are so amazing! I have volunteered at Animal Welfare League and Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.
In my spare time I am interested in travelling, lindy hop dancing, mountain biking, archery, hiking and sewing, to name a few things.
I am looking forward to the years ahead learning more about different areas of vet nursing, animal welfare and how best to care for all the beloved animals and pets out there. Hope to meet you all soon.
After a career in the music and arts industry and living overseas (and Brisbane!), my partner and I built our dream home in the beautiful foothills of Mt Warning in 2007 and started a family. I started volunteering at Murwillumbah Veterinary Clinic in July 2013 when I commenced studying my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing,
Now as a qualified nurse, I love my role at Murwillumbah Veterinary Clinic where I get to work closely with both our patients and their owners.
The learning and working environment is wonderful, with all staff so happy to share their knowledge and experience, and in the meantime I feel I've made some great friends too. We have two dogs at home, a very charming Airedale Terrier, and his best mate, a Schnoodle. They've both successful graduates of the MVC puppy pre-school (as am I)!.
I feel very privileged to work at a practice such as this, where striving for excellence is an everyday goal - whether that be in practicing medicine, customer service, patient well-being or even workplace health and safety.
Outside of work, our kids keep us very busy - and I try to maintain a modicum of fitness to balance out my love of eating out!
It's hard to believe, but I have been a volunteer at M.V.C for 33 years!
I enjoy helping the animals as well as their owners and feel very much part of the Murwillumbah Vet Clinic family. It is always a lot of fun when the staff from the vet clinic get together outside of work and I love to be involved with the social activities such as the Brisbane boat cruise. Our farm has played host to the Christmas party and several "steamboat" dinners over the years.
I have been working in veterinary clinics since age 14 and I find it both very interesting and at times very challenging. I have a keen interest in animal welfare and to this end I am a foster carer for Friends of the Pound and a life member of this charity and the RSPCA.
A dog "Tess" and cats, "Cleo", "Kat" and "Zeus", plus rabbits, chooks and cows make up my menagerie at home. Oh, and my husband Allan and children Andrew (12) and Daniel (9) also keep me busy.
My non-animal interests include belly dancing, art, reading, fishing, and I love to find a bargain at an op shop!
From a very young age and growing up on a farm with all types of animals, I have always loved the company and being around animals. I also wanted to become involved in caring for them and to help make a difference to their lives.
I started volunteering at the Vet Clinic on the 15th of February 2013 to carry out my ambition to become a Professional/Qualified Cat and Dog Groomer and a Qualified Veterinary Nurse.
I am Qualified in Certificate II Animal Studies, Certificate III Companion Animals, Qualified Dog Groomer and Currently studying Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
In May 2014, I attended a 4 week course at the Victorian College of Dog Grooming, which encouraged me to start my own business within the Dog Grooming Industry, my business name is "Pets with Pawsonality Professional Dog Grooming Service". My salon is located at Dunbible which is about 10 minutes out of Murwillumbah and 5 minutes from Stokers Siding. I am also the Groomer on Friday's at the Vet Clinic.
The Team of Vets and Nurses are very professional and ensure that I will get the best understanding and knowledge possible to enhance my desire for learning the correct procedures.
As for my Hobbies/Interests, I enjoy horse and motorbike riding, cattle work/farm work, op shopping, listening to music, art and spending time with family and friends.
Hi, my name is Melana Oakes.
I started volunteering at the Murwillumbah vet clinic in October 2012, at the time I was doing Certificate II in Animal Studies, continuing my studies and getting my Certificate III in companion animals and have continued my studies with Certificate IV in vet Nursing.
I currently am a registered Breeder of Staffordshire Bull Terriers and have a range of rabbit breeds that I breed to sell for pets, breeders and for showing, I have a multitude of pets at my place including 4 dogs, 27 rabbits, 2 cats, some chickens and a turtle, put it all together with my 3 kids and I definitely have a busy household.
My name is Rashell, I'm a trainee studying Animal studies and would love to get my qualifications in Captive animals so I can work in a wildlife sanctuary or zoo. I have 5 cats, Harley, Lexi, Sooky, Odin and Carla, and as naughty as they are, I can't help but love them. I've been working at Murwillumbah Vet Clinic since 2015 and love working with the team. It's an awesome and very interesting place to learn and practice.

CHART: 'A dangerous setup for silver'
From Chris Kimble at Kimble Charting Solutions:
This chart was shared with Premium and Metals members yesterday afternoon.
The chart reflects that Silver and Silver ETF (SLV) are both testing triple resistance, inside of a falling channel at (1) above.
We also shared that this resistance test was taking place at the same time that "Dumb Money Traders" have amassed the largest long position in Silver, in all of its history.
This is a dangerous setup for silver, should weakness start taking place.
If you would like to stay abreast of these type of patterns in the silver, gold, and mining sectors, I would be honored if you were a Metals or Premium Member.200 views

I hate feeling fat.
When I started actively trying to take back control of my life and my eating habits, my scale informed me I was barely beneath 190 pounds.
I am 5'3″-5'4″ tall. I have a fairly bony build; by this, I mean I have a more robust bone structure than some others. I'm not nail thin, I'm not gargantuan. I'm not your rail thin model type.
Not anymore.
When I was 12, I weighed 116 pounds. I weighed between 100 and 120 up until age 18. I consumed many, many thousands of calories per day due to a hypermetabolism issue.
That went away at 18.
I gained weight extremely fast at this point, skyrocketing to where I was when I looked at the scale a few weeks ago:
Almost 190 pounds.
A healthy weight for me would be around 120-130, depending on how much muscle I manage to add. I'm not expecting a lot in the muscular department, truth be told.
But 190 confirmed what I was feeling. Unhealthy. Fat.
No, I do not want to hear a single word about how I shouldn't be worried about my body image, and how I shouldn't worry about being fat or overweight. I feel unhealthy because I'm fat. My immune system doesn't function properly. I struggle to walk and exercise. It puts undue stress on my joints. It makes me hurt.
Being fat is not healthy, and I am going to come up front and tell the truth: I'm fat.
I don't want to be this way. I'm tired of my pants not fitting right. I'm tired of having a gut that feels uncomfortable. I am uncomfortable in my own skin.
I don't feel well. All of the time.
And it is all because I'm overweight.
Society tries to tell me that I shouldn't worry about my body image; all women, all bodies are beautiful.
Great for the self-esteem.
Terrible for my health.
What I do with my body is my choice. If others do not mind the health consequences of being overweight, that is their choice. I wish them well, and that they enjoy good health. The same applies in reverse; if they want to lose weight, as I do, because they feel unhealthy, they are unhealthy, and want to change… I wish them well. And good luck.
We'll both need it.
I think one of the hardest things I've had to face is the acceptance that I am fat and that this is unacceptable to me.
I am fat, and I don't have to be.
So I decided to change, and I have.
Today, I got on my scale, fully clothed, apprehensive.
Today, I weighed 172.6 pounds.
Today, I weighed myself after I ate lunch.
I don't weigh myself at the same time every day. I prefer to hop on the scale as I see it, staring that little number right in the eyes.
It's a number, yes, but it's also a goal. It's a motivation.
It's a reminder.
My scale is located right in front of my refrigerator. By that, I mean, I can't open it without stepping on it or around it. It's purposefully under foot–so I remember to put it under my feet and look at what I'm trying to do for myself.
Depression actually helped me lose some of this weight. It suppressed my appetite. It made it easier for me to say no to food. It wasn't a good way to start, but it was a start.
At my lowest point, I weighed 168. That was after depression had me moping around, and my willpower and motivation was so lacking I didn't eat anything for a few days. Being honest about that hurts, but it's a consequence and impact of depression.
Food and depression go hand in hand. Some people eat. Some people don't. Some people remain the same–sometimes. Some people don't eat because they feel they don't deserve basic necessities, that they aren't good enough. Some people eat, because the pleasure of their taste buds is something worth living for.
Some of us, like me, just can't bring ourselves to make the effort. It's too hard to want to be bothered. That was the worst downward spiral in my fight with depression–when I wasn't capable of fighting at all.
But I got back up, and my scale became my sword.
Today, I had a tomato for lunch, with some basil I picked from my window. I added olive oil, because I enjoy olive oil. I added a sprig of green onion, which I also grew in my window.
The tomato came from my garden.
And as a glorious reward to myself, I added some deliciously salty lemon and herb space.
I ate a single tomato, and I felt full.
Weight loss isn't just a battle with a scale. It's a changing of a lifestyle. It's breaking free from the dependency of food in volume, and enjoying food in quality.
Without guilt. Without overeating.
Yesterday, I had an entire small pizza, loaded with my favorite toppings, because I had been eating so reasonably well. It was an indulgence. A reward.
A pleasure.
I had a grilled cheese and a small pizza the entire day.
Today, I didn't feel the need to gorge. I enjoyed my tomato, which I grew myself.
And I won. Today, the victory is mine.
My scale doesn't say 189 or 190.
It says 172 and change. The war goes on, but for once, I'm not losing. I'm holding my ground. I'm accomplishing things.
Weight loss can be done… but there are no easy ways out. It takes self control. Dedication. Desire. A will to change an entire lifestyle, not just reach a goal and relapse.
But it comes with rewards.
My knee doesn't hurt quite as much as it did a month or two ago, and while it still pains me a bit, I can move around. I ran to the door twice today.
I ran.
It wasn't far, but two months ago, I couldn't run anywhere, let alone across the house in a mad dash to answer the door.
What I did before was kind of like this horrific little zombie shuffle.
Moving doesn't hurt as much now.
It may only be 18 pounds to you, but to me, it's freedom.
I ran.

Melinda Doolittle went home tonight on American Idol, leaving Blake and Jordin to fight it out next week. (Musically speaking) I wanted Blake and Melinda in the finals. Jordin is talented and beautiful but Melinda is absolutely fantastic.
I am shocked. I didn't expect this outcome at all.
I think Blake may end up winning because he is really talented, telegenic, cute and a natural. My favorite musical rendition he's done so far is Mack the Knife. He's taken every song he has sung so far and made it his own.
Jordin's run has been much more spotty. I didn't care for any of the songs she sang last night and think she needs to mature a little more before she is cast into the spotlight.
I hope we will be seeing a lot more of Melinda Doolittle. She really is a class act.

By Robert C. Bell
Remember: Selling is a process in which the eyecare professional helps a patient to acquire all the goods and/or services that would assist that patient to fulfill any and all visual needs in exchange for compensation.
Most of us learned the Golden Rule at a very early age from our parents, teachers, etc.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" or "Treat others the way you want to be treated."
I love the sentiment but, alas, it doesn't work.
The Golden Rule, in one form or another, has been around for 5000 years (Google it), from culture to culture, society to society, religion to religion. Yet, most of us continue to treat others NOT like we would like to be treated but rather we seem to treat them, it seems, in a more reactionary and retaliatory way.
Personally, I think the problem is that, on an intellectual level, we do recognize the unbelievable logic to the Golden Rule but we don't take it to heart. It just doesn't get to most of us emotionally. Think about the last time someone may have pushed your buttons, was the Golden Rule anywhere to be found? Was it even close to being in any of your thoughts?
Not long ago, I came across a quote from a man named Og Mandino—a strange name but a remarkable and legendary salesman:
"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same."
When I saw this quote, it turned my world upside down. The power of what he said not only made logical sense to me but also overwhelmed me emotionally.
I immediately incorporated it into my daily life. Then, the first time someone tried to push my buttons an unbelievable confident power came to me. As this person was making an aggressive stand (screaming and yelling), I actually thought to myself that I have two choices here: 1) React the way I (or anyone else) normally would … meaning, retaliate with louder screaming and yelling, or fight fire with fire… or 2) let him finish and then gently find out how I could help him find relief to whatever got him this angry.
I opted for #2. Customer and friend for life, I believe.
By the way, I found fighting fire with fire is a very strange strategy. It doesn't really do anything but create a larger and more combustible fire. Fires are usually put out by cool, clear water.
So, the next time the phone rings at your office or the next time someone comes through your doors, no matter what their current state of mind is at the time, consider Mandino's quote. You always have the choice and opportunity to be nice to most everyone, even if they are pushing your buttons you still can choose to be pleasant and understanding.
If you need another reason other than it's the "nice thing to do," try it out and tell me about the power and inner strength it gives you. I believe you might enjoy the results.
