So I have a sweetheart.
Or, more accurately, I have a shiny-new sweetheart in addition to the pre-existing sweetheart who is my lovely wife.
As it happens, my lovely wife has a shiny-new sweetheart, too.
And, oh hey, our respective shiny-new sweethearts are, in fact, the same person.
I am, effectively, married to my own metamour.
This does not suck, I don't mind telling you. 😉
I could, I suppose, have introduced this topic by saying "We have a sweetheart". I mean, we do. The three of us have quiet-evening-in kind of dates together fairly frequently. But our mutual sweetie didn't sign up to date a couple. She signed up to date two individual people who just happen to also be dating each other.
I have to admit that having NRE with someone with-whom my wife is also having NRE is… kind of wonderful. It makes some stuff (I suspect) a lot easier. Like, I have zero qualms about inviting my new sweetie to stay for dinner again without checking in with my pre-existing sweetie about it because I know damn well that my pre-existing sweetie is swooning over the same person, and doing so just as much as I am.
Convenient? Why yes. 🙂
If this was a different situation – like, say, the one my wife is in the majority of the time – and I had a new sweetie who wasn't also dating my live-in partner, I suspect I'd have to balance and juggle a lot more. There'd be negotiations around how many nights I spent at home, versus having sleep-overs with my new honey, versus how often it would and wouldn't be okay for my New Person to be over when my wife gets home[1]. I know I'd be (perhaps unnecessarily) a lot more anxious about things like how much one-on-one time my pre-existing partner was getting and whether or not it was enough, versus the same for my shiny-new partner. As it stands, climbing into the pool of "active polyamoury[2]" in this particular way is, so far, remarkably lovely. I mean, it's been a little over a month, more or less, so this is still very new. But it's been relatively angst-free[3] and we're all enjoying the Not Rushing, the knowing that we have time to explore and bond at leisure. None of us is looking at this like it's "just some fling", and that's remarkably reassuring.
Something (one of many things, I'm sure) that I want to keep sight of, as the three of us move forward together, is that while, yes, our Person (who has a primary of her own, fyi) is "dating a couple", my wife is also "dating a couple", and so am I. A couple who will have (and will need to have) dates and sleep-overs and such-like without me tagging along. I don't want to fall into the trap of thinking that, just because one of the couples in this trio has a marriage certificate, the other two couples don't exist or that they need less time (and energy, and attention) to develope and nurture their respective relationships.
So. There you go. I'm no-longer the most monogamous poly-person I know.
Let's see where this takes us. 🙂
Ms Syren.
[1] I admit that I'm guessing here. My lovely wife is a pretty laid-back individual who has a mile-wide compersion streak built right in. But that doesn't mean she'd necessarily want to hang out socially with my sweetheart all the time, particularly not after a long and possibly frustrating day of Dealing With People at her day-job.
[2] As opposed to "passive polyamoury"? You know, the kind I've been doing for the past six years, where I'm dating only one person but said one person has multiple partners at a time.
[3] For, admittedly, a given value of "free" that takes into account the fact that "angst-ridden" is my default state and, also, that our Person is moving cities in a couple of weeks, and I'm kind of expecting an angst-fest of missing our girl once she's headed on her way. We'll see how we do in terms of navigating that one, but hey. 🙂 It's not like she's ditching us, we'll just be living in different towns. We can all handle this, right? We can totally handle this.

So I have a sweetheart.
So, this morning, I tweeted this:
Family grows in a lot of ways. It makes me happy that my wife's girlfriend/servant sourced the soil for my garden, that my wife/property arranged the delivery and built the bedframes in the first place. It makes me happy that our sweetheart is willing to come and move soil by the bucket-full, and that my metamour's roommate is willing to do the same. (Admittedly, part of this is just that they are both avid gardeners and all of six blocks from my house, but still. They come. This is wonderful).
So. The garden where I will (fingers crossed, successfully) grow the food that will (partially – it's only two beds so far) feed my people? Is being built by my people. How awesome is that?
I don't know what I want to say about this. I want to write about find your quarto, which you're only going to understand as a reference if you're intimately familiar with Cathrynne M. Valente's Palimpsest. I want to write about how all families grow, how my wife and I finding another person to share our lives with, in whatever shape that takes, isn't all that different from my sister giving birth to her-&-her-fiance's first child. I want to write about how Kinky Femme's extended poly family, her leather fam, stepped up to help her father move, and that he's starting to understand that there's enough love to go around, that you don't have to police it or ration it. That I'm learning this, too.
I want to write that Your heart is an organ the size of
your fist a TARDIS: It's bigger on the inside and able to grow, as required, to hold everything it needs.
Maybe this is just the NRE talking – I wouldn't be the first to come over all twitterpated and rose-coloured-glasses under these circumstances. And maybe it's the sunshine and the fact that I get to grow an actual, in-the-ground garden with food and edible flowers and perenial herbs and all the rest of it. That my soul is going to be fed this year in a way that it hasn't been in a long, long time. And that definitely has an effect on one's outlook, I don't mind telling you.
But either way, I'm looking at my growing family with a tremendous amount of joy in my heart.
[…] we move
four cubic meters of trucked in soil
by bucket chain
hand to hand
in the fading evening
I scatter the seeds
of rainbow chard and kale
more than cold-tolerant
tender and hardy
the food of our people
From "Cultivation" (by me)
Ms Syren.
Hi, folks!
So it's catch-up week at KotW, and the most recent prompt has been corsets. Consequently, I'll be talking a bit about them in this post.
Look. I love how a corset – an underbust, a plastic-boned bodice, even tight-lacing – looks. I recently did a portrature sitting where I deisilpunked it up as an alternate-earth WASP in her leather & pvc dress uniform. (I wore my Unholy Harvest dogtags, for those keeping track). Wish I had a photo to show you, 'cause I swear I felt like Amanda Fucking Palmer in that getup. 🙂
I love the way a nipped-in waist – whether through actual hardware or just through wearing a fitted top – can accestuate my already-fairly-hourglass figure and play up my awesome shoulders and hips. I love the feel of the fitted, structured fabric. I love the way my hips and ribs feel moving against it.
I kind of loathe the sore back that comes with wearing boned articles of clothing. Sorry folks. My fetwear is more likley to be a sarong and some gladiator sandals, even if the aesthetics of giant high heels + heaps-o-boning totally turn my crank.
I am, occasionally, a practical girl.
That said, I do have a tonne of the things – mostly the plastic-boned kind that you can get on ebay for $9.99 – that I use primarily for modeling jobs (see above re: portraiture class, for example). Because they're not understood, these days, as "underwear" (sexwear is a different story, mind you), and because our contemporary clothing tends not to be particularly structured (even a lot of business-formal-style "blouses" are actually knits these days), the boning and obvious shaping of a corset (or similar item) tends to lend an element of instant formality to a given outfit while also playing (however inacurately) with anacronistic themes. They're a useful thing to have in a work-wardrobe when your job involves bringing fantasy to life – or at least depictions of same. Case in point:
So those are my thoughts on corsets.
Ms Syren.
So this week's Kink of the Week Prompt is Begging. I'm kind of uncomfortable with begging, at least in the hyperbolic, incessant-until-they-get-what-they're-asking-for sense of the word. I feel an unpleasant mix of put-upon and embarrassed, like I should probably give in and do whatever-it-is just to shut them up.
And yet… There's something about "please", about "let me?", about that vulnerable voicing of want and hunger combined with the holding back, with not just taking… Now, that I love.
I fantasize about that stuff. About being the kind of top who doesn't just listen with her skin, but with her ears, who makes sure this, or this, or this is wanted; about hearing please gasped breathless and half-involuntary by someone yearning for my hands, my mouth, all over her lit-up body; that makes me shiver all over, that makes my breath go shallow and my blood race.
But, too, there's something about hearing it coming from someone who's buried her face in my neck, who's risking the terror of letting her own hunger show, hesitant and hopeful as the brush of fingertips along my lower back, breath whispering over my skin. There's such a delicious power in that, in the inviting and the allowing, when it works, when trust is the right way to go. And I want that, too.
I want it all.
Ms Syren.
So "belts" is the topic for this half of February's KotW challenge.
While I appreciate a good hobble belt as a way of flagging (and also hanging stuff upon one's person), I don't tend to reach for a belt when I want to give someone a taste of leather.
Part of that is just…. I don't wear them.
I mean, my wife/property wears them, and I suppose I could take off her belt and smack her with it, but… Meh? I just don't wanna.
Like I've said before, I'm a crops and quirts kind of gal. Single Tails are wonderful things, yes, and I'd love to take another workshop on how to use them. But, by and large, I'm not into long-range toys. I like to make things up close and personal. 😉
So that's where I stand on belts.
Ms Syren.
The idea of Stone, the idea of Femme. I've heard descriptions of "stone femme" wherein the femme in question is The Queen of Cups – receptive, reactive, responsive, the partner whose moan, shiver, arch, pushes the energy back, completes the emotional/energetic/erotic loop so that it can cycle through again. In this context (in any context?) Femme Bottom (any bottom?) is all appetite.
But so am I.
I read Xan West's writing about Stone, about the gaze, about desire and how a partner's responses can make them come, just with breath, with sound, with need. And this is so familiar to me.
I'm not stone. My clothes can come off when I fuck, am maybe at my most powerful, most "toppy", when I'm in nothing by sweat-slicked skin and high heeled shoes; I crave touch, hunger for it, too, but it's scary as fuck and hard to stay in my body to accept it, let alone welcome it, without overthinking everything or flinching/freezing pre-emptively. I'm seven years (twenty years? thirty?) into trying to navigate my way through this minefield of fear, body, and performativity, towards the pleasure, openness, sincerity, the offering that I want to give in vulnerability, in desire, but also towards my own ability to accept the offering I want to receive, crave receiving, as a dominant bottom.
I'm femme.
When Tara Hardy writes "I, too, have a mouth", about wanting to taste the world; when Leah Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha writes about femme hunger and needing to be cautious when it comes to sharing the gulf of that ravenous need… That's me.
As a femme top, as someone who is all appetite, who is all mouth, I am not the Queen of Cups. Following you with hungry eyes, I want you to see, and respond to, my desire. At my purest, I am the Great Devourer: I want to eat you alive. I want you to like it. To offer yourself up to my hunger, to the tongue that would taste every quivering, shuddering inch of you.
Xan writes, in "Where Pleasure Resides" (same link as above), a lot about cocks. I don't have one of those. It's not a word that fits me. But I deeply understand the yearning to get energetically inside someone, to find her mouth of fire, coax it open with the red, red pulse of my tongue – physical, energetic, or both – until I am so deep inside that I can lap at her heart and coax that open, too.
This is what I want.
This is also what I dread.
I don't know how much of it is conditioning – my mother telling me, in my teens, that once you've fucked someone your heart goes with them, too – versus how much of this is true to the actual connection between touch and trust, between sexual vulnerability and emotional vulnerability, that exists in my body. But, yes, if I let someone fuck me, get inside me, even just feed me – though it's easier to avoid when I'm topping ("less direct" is the wrong way to say it, but… riding a response is not the same as generating that response, and there's an emotional buffer in that difference) – the chances that I'll fall in love with them, want a deep, lasting emotional connection with them, rise dramatically. And that's scary. Terrifying. And also yearned for.
I'm hungry and afraid to eat.
What a damn silly place to be.
Ms Syren.
So this week's Kink of the Week topic is Blood Play.
Woohoo! 😀 😀 😀
Seriously, I saw this topic, and what popped into my head was "YAY! Jade and I actually have a kink in common!"
Not so much, apparently. But hey. Onwards!
So blood play – and knife play, and biting, and vampirism (which is a whole other topic, though I will definitely be touching on it here, possibly a lot) and scarification, and all the other stuff that goes along with blood-letting and why you might want to do it – is kind of my bag. My jam. My rich, oozing, red, red, jam.
I've been interested in vampires since I was about seven years old, so that's bound up with it somewhere. I've read those pulpy anthologies of lesbian vampire erotica (Blood Sisters and that sort of thing) and… the formula there is so far from what vampirism means to me. It's not a Power Exchange thing in the D/s sense of the word, for a start – although I won't argue that my Domme wakes up sniffing the air when there's blood to play with and in – it's a Power Exchange in the sense of an energetic feedback loop where we are feeding into each other (like being in a really good dance club where the music is fantastic and everyone's moving) and on each other. It's so far from "Oh my god, she bit my clit" (although I think I've probably done that, or something like that, at least once) that the trope is straight-up laughable. Drinking from another can be worship and gratitude, and it's always about trust, about welcoming. "I will make you my own[1]", take you in, devour you, make you part of my body. We are both letting someone get under our skin, in different ways.
That's what biting is – a kiss that goes deeper than skin.
I remember, when I was about 20, thinking "Blood sharing is more intimate than sex, because you need a lot more trust to do it, you can't put a condom over a vein".
In retrospect, this was, perhaps, a little simplistic. But my feelings about the intimacy of blood-sharing haven't actually changed. I mean, yes, you have to do your homework, be aware of how to avoid getting sick – gloves, drop-sheets, STI tests – and usually, when I'm doing blood play (the exception being my wife, because: fluid bonding) I don't actually get to drink anything, much as I might want to follow those enticing crimson rivers with my tongue. Rather, I tend to opt for the much safer second choice, which is running my hands through my Person's blood and feeding it to her, dripping from my fingertips.
I'll be in my bunk.
Anyway. So that's part of it. A big part of it.
But some of it is just straight-up predatory Monster Food.
The hiss and the tremble and way the blood beads bright on broken skin, there's no red like it, no smell. My voice teacher used to tell me to imagine smelling something wonderful, in order to get me to breathe properly, and what I imagined was the mingling of blood and sex. Not that I ever told her this, because that's got to be a little disconcerting coming from a 16-year-old, particularly one who doesn't yet know she's kinky. But that's what I was imagining and, yes, since I hadn't even kisses another person at that point, the smell I was thinking of was specifically menstrual blood. When that stuff's fresh, it's the best smell on earth. (Three minutes after the fact, though, it's really, really not. Pro-Tip for those who want to save their own. Although once it's completely dried out, it smells like honey. For real. Such sweetness under hte iron).
Moving along. Some of it – touching back to that energetic feedback loop – exists at the Sex Magic end of S/M. I love to carve words into my Person using a scalpel or an 18-gage needle (if you want more tearing and, thense, more pain), to carve them in mirror-script so that they can be read specifically in the mirror. It's magic like that pen in Harry Potter – write it until it sinks in:
You Are Loved
You Are Mine
My Horse, My Servant[2]
It's all intimacy, when you get right down to it. Yes, beauty. Yes, emphatically, lust. Yes, Woo, on a number of levels. But it's the sharing, the deep and gracious vulnerability that is offered, entrusted, accepted. That's why it matters to me.
So those are my FEELINGS on blood play.
Ms Syren.

Nearly 5,000 years ago the abacus emerged in Asia Minor. The abacus may be considered the first computer. This device allowed its users to make computations using a system of sliding beads arranged on a rack. Early shopkeepers used the abacus to keep up with transactions. The use of pencil and paper spread, the abacus lost its importance. Nearly twelve centuries past before the next important advance in computing devices emerged.
In 1642, Blaise Pascal, the 18-year-old son of a French tax collector, invented what he called a numerical wheel calculator to help his father with his duties. The Pascaline, a brass rectangular box, used eight movable dials to add sums up to eight figures long. Pascal's device used a base of ten to achieve this. The disadvantage to the Pascaline, of course, was its limitation to addition. In 1694, Gottfried Wilhem von Leibniza a German mathematician and philosopher improved the Pascaline by creating a machine that could also multiply. Like its predecessor, Leibniz's mechanical multiplier worked by a system of gears and dials.
It wasn't until 1820, however, that mechanical calculators gained widespread use. A Frenchman, Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar, invented a machine that could perform the four basic mathematic functions. The arithometer, presented a more systematic approach to computing because it could add, subtract, multiply and divide. With its enhanced versatility, the arithometer was widely used up until World War I.
The real beginnings of computers began with an English mathematics professor, Charles Babbage. Babbage's steam-powered Engine, outlined the basic elements of a modern general purpose computer and was a breakthrough concept. The Analytical Engine consisted of over 50,000 components. The basic design of included input devices in the form of perforated cards containing operating instructions and a "store" for memory of 1,000 numbers of up to 50 decimal digits long.
In 1889, an American inventor,...

|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase 2 Trial of Lovastatin for Modification of Abnormal Breast Duct Cytology and Risk-Associated Biomarkers in Women at High Inherited Risk of Breast Cancer
- Change in the Incidence of Abnormal Breast Duct Cytology After Treatment With Lovastatin 80 mg/Day [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Assessed on that basis of pre- and post-treatment evaluation with RPFNA (random periareolar fine needle aspiration). All subjects received a prescription for lovastatin 80 mg/day, to be taken as 40 mg twice-a-day.
Cytology was qualitatively and quantitatively, using the Masood semiquantitative scale to assign a number to each specimen, with higher numbers indicating increasing degrees of abnormality, as follows:
06-10 Non-proliferative breast disease (NPBD)
11-14 Proliferative breast disease without atypia (PBD-A)
15-18 Proliferative breast disease with atypia (PBD+A)
19-24 Carcinoma in situ and invasive cancer (CIS/IC)
If no cells could be obtained after multiple RPFNA attempts, the classification was acellular.
Change from NPBD to PBD-A was considered Unfavorable.
Change from NPBD to Acellular was considered Equivocal.
Change from PBD-A to NPBD was considered Favorable.
- Change in Mammographic Density Before and After Treatment With Lovastatin 80 mg/Day [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Bilateral mammography was performed at study entry (before lovastatin therapy) and at study conclusion (after lovastatin therapy) . Mammograms were assessed for a decline in mean breast density, using the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RAD) composition system for mammographic density assessment.

Detailed Description:
The study evaluates if a 6-month course of oral lovastatin at 80 mg/day (as 40 mg twice-a-day) would decrease abnormal breast duct cytology in women with a high inherited breast cancer risk. Breast duct cytology was assessed as hyperplasia or hyperplasia with atypia, as measured by random periareolar fine needle aspiration (rpFNA), of breast duct cells.
A stratified analysis of this objective will be performed according to BRCA mutation status (absence or presence of an inherited deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation).
Additional objectives of the study are to:
- Assess change in mammographic density, which is known to associate with breast cancer risk, before and after treatment with lovastatin
- Asess incidence of breast cancers and new high-risk breast lesions, including atypical hyperplasia, ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ, or radial scar.
Assess change in other breast cancer risk-associated biomarkers in rpFNA specimens, including:
- Ki-67 (a marker of cell proliferation)
- Estrogen receptor (ER)
- Progesterone receptor (PR)
- HER/2-neu over-expression
- Susceptibility to DNA damage

Citing the news many started speculating that the Tamil Nadu assembly might be trying to avoid Karnataka assembly kind of situation where three BJP ministers have been caught during watching porn movie in mobile phone.
However, other sources reported that the assembly took the decision following the incident when TRB Raaja, the son of union minister and DMK leader TR Balu, was caught while taking videos of the House proceedings.
According to present law, MLAs and other officials are allowed to carry mobile phones inside the assembly hall but are strictly prohibited from using them.

Had a spate of white church burned, no such investigation would have occurred we suppose.
The media promptly reminded us of Dylann Roof, the loon who gunned down nine black people at a church in South Carolina.
There is no connection beyond the delusional thinking of the predatory left.
• It seems the media thrives on racial strife as they rambled on about the outcry against racial intolerance and a jab at the Confederate flag.
Note that "racial strife" -- when posed by the media -- nearly always implicates white people as racists while dismissing the epidemic of black-on-white violence.
Nary a word was spoken suggesting the arsons may have been to scam insurance companies.
Please report typos...
In recent days, there have been four fires at churches across four states — Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. Three of the four have been ruled arsons by investigators; a cause for the fourth, at Grover Grove Baptist in Warrenville, S.C., had not been determined by investigators on Friday.
"They're being investigated to determine who is responsible and what motives are behind them," said FBI spokesperson Paul Bresson. "I'm not sure there is any reason to link them together at this point."
The cause of a fifth fire, at College Heights Baptist Church in Elyria, Ohio, was still being investigated Sunday.
The fires come just days after Dylann Roof allegedly went on a racially-motivated killing spree at a black church in Charleston, S.C. The shooting left nine dead and sparked a nationwide outcry against racial intolerance, and even a nationwide debate about the symbolism of the Confederate flag. The alleged shooter was seen in multiple photos posing with the flag.

After all the controversy the Clay Buchholz accusation got a few weeks ago, you'd think MLB pitchers would be a little more careful if they decided to fudge and/or break the rules of the game a little bit. But Alex Sanabia went to the school of "gives no fucks" and blatantly spit on a baseball in the second inning of the Marlins-Phillies game last night. It's so obvious, it's as if he doesn't know that spitballs were outlawed in 1920.
That Sanabia spit on the ball is bad enough. That it appeared to coincide with him not giving up another run over the next 6 1/3 innings is even worse. It's unlikely that he played with that same ball over that entire span, but he knows how many other balls he spit on or licked or rubbed on the back of his neck.
Here's the second inning incident:
Adding any sort of foreign substance, no matter how insignificant, is not allowed. So expect Sanabia to be fined or suspended — not to mention chastised by his team for being such a moron.

*Rendering of the Winter Activations on City Hall Plaza, courtesy of Boston Garden Development Corporation
Winter Activations Include Unique Skating Path and Holiday Shopping Market
BOSTON, MA — Tuesday, September 6, 2016 – Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced the City of Boston has signed a contract with Boston Garden Development Corporation (BGDC), a subsidiary of Delaware North, owner and operator of TD Garden, as the vendor to enhance City Hall Plaza. The contract represents the next step forward in Mayor Walsh's commitment to creating a City Hall that is a vibrant public space and welcoming for all.
"I am pleased about this important next step in our efforts to activate City Hall Plaza, and I thank the Boston Garden Development Corporation for their partnership and creativity in this effort," said Mayor Walsh. "This endeavor is the beginning of a joint venture that will help transform the plaza into a year-round destination, inviting the people of Boston to see the plaza come to life in new and exciting ways."
"We are truly excited to move forward with this partnership with the City of Boston and get activations started on City Hall Plaza," said Charlie Jacobs, CEO for Delaware North's Boston Holdings. "City Hall Plaza is the heart of the City, and we share Mayor Walsh's vision to provide a welcoming, enticing communal space that better serves the residents and visitors of Boston. Delaware North is committed to Boston, and our team is actively working to create an engaging winter experience for the plaza as well as unique activations for every season."
Winter activations on City Hall Plaza will include New England's first, custom-designed outdoor skating path and a European inspired holiday shopping market. Skaters of all ages are welcome to try this new twist on the traditional ice rink, a nearly 11,000 gross square foot outdoor ice path that will be open after Thanksgiving through February 2017. Resident and youth skating programs will be announced at a later date.
At the free outdoor holiday shopping market, visitors can experience seasonal delicacies and interactive attractions in a celebratory winter atmosphere. The market is set to open after Thanksgiving and continue through New Year's Day 2017, with a mix of local and international vendors and food and beverage offerings housed in individual chalets.
To kick off the partnership, Boston Garden Development Corporation worked with the City's Property Management Department to test new seating options and will be installing shaded picnic tables on City Hall Plaza that will provide gathering spots for commuters and visitors. Delaware North will also join Mayor Walsh and the Main Streets Foundation, which supports local business districts in Boston, to sponsor the "Beer Garden on Bricks" programming moving forward.
This past spring, the City of Boston selected Boston Garden Development Corporation to improve City Hall Plaza. The three-year contract began September 1, 2016.
The License agreement provides the City of Boston a percentage of the overall annual profitability of all programming, including an escalating sponsorship model.
Through the City's Operations Cabinet, Boston Garden Development Corporation will develop robust programming for the spring and summer months that works in conjunction with existing municipal commitments and local neighborhood events on the Plaza. Operating collaborators include Rink Management Service Corporation and Millennial Exhibitions.
The RFP for City Hall Plaza is one of several efforts that the Walsh Administration is pursuing to reinvigorate both City Hall and City Hall Plaza. Last year, Mayor Walsh launched RethinkCityHall.org and selected Utile to partner with the City on a City Hall campus plan study, a one-year comprehensive planning process that will serve as a roadmap for the operation and design improvements to City Hall and the plaza.
More information on upcoming events at City Hall Plaza, and vendor information for the holiday shopping market will be posted soon at: www.facebook.com/BostonCityHallPlaza.

Is it a pizza? Is it a burger?? It's both—and your kids will love it!!! And to close out the month of March with another "green" recipe—I've topped this pizza-burger with some healthy salad greens. I used arugula but any leafy greens will work—romaine, spinach, kale—take your pick. Top it with a light dressing like balsamic vinagrette or squeezed lemon with olive oil, light salt and pepper.
Let the kiddos help press and roll out the dough, add the toppings in proper sequence as you have them repeat them back to you and you've turned your healthy dinner into a language lesson. This week I've included a sequencing/listening game, a fun pizza itunes app, a recipe for edible play-doh so they can have fun playing with their foods and a pizza themed toy to play at home or in your speech lessons. There's enough pizza burger fun to keep 'em happy, healthy and busy for quite a while! Continue reading "Sequencing Pizza—-{with SpeechSnacks for "first, next, last" and good listening skills}" »

text: 1. An image of a nuts & unprofessional brand, yet with awesome talent with most no. of European cars of the Yr. under it's belt. Amazing contribution to what automotive world is today but fans sympathize for the fact that how less FIAT is benefitted for it, An unsung Pioneer of the automotive world! Only company which has survived 3 times backruptcy & suddenly introducing a stunning new product with immediate European car of the Year & break through technologies. Most unpredictable of all brands, likes to flirt with danger. For Fans, More like a teacher who has a soft corner for the kid who is naughty but most talented in the class. 2. Contribution in Car racing has been far more than any other automaker, Fiats 124/Fiat 131 & Lancia with many decades of domination in WRC/ERC. Talk Ferrari/Alfa Romeo/Maserati which were acquired later on. F1/Rally's etc. do have some passionate followers, don't they! 3. Toyota/Honda/Nissan may get appraisals but a fan doesn't have reasons to feel passionate for it, nothing ground breaking. Hyundai's of 1970-80's when they finally gained some market share in America due to rising fuel expenses. They know how to meet the most purpose of "MAJORITY" yet keep it basic & simple, only good businessmen like typical Japanese. You want to be a passionate follower of this virtue, try it when your innerself call you a thief to yourself. 4. Unfair critics in media/press, much more than FIAT actually deserves. It looks less of a media concern but more of big automakers, they just can't afford to let technologically advanced & fun to drive vehicle let loose among the crowd. Talk some attempts by VW to buy Alfa Romeo with 3 Billion Euro's which is selling only 1 product in the market with 500 millions Euro's loss per year. Merchionne told VW "NEIN ("No" in german language)". He knows that it was for New Multiair engines & Compact wide platform of Giulietta for next Golf/A3/A5/Laura... & what not! With a VW badge on an Alfa Romeo car, it will do wonders for sales. "VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech has made no secret he thinks Alfa would be a good fit within the group's expansive portfolio of brands, where it could benefit from their pooled vehicle architectures and technology. But Marchionne has refused to sell Alfa, and observers think he is unlikely to change his mind". Reference is:http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/04/us-autoshow-geneva-fiat-alfa-idUSBRE92302T20130304You You can love whatever brand you want, but the CEOs/MDs are fantacizing some other car. Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn that he is a fan of Alfa, but would only make a move if Fiat wished to sell. Reference:http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows/vw-boss-interested-alfaHenry Henry Ford used to doff his hat when-ever a Ferrari/Alfa Romeo passed by. During 1960's, Ford & GM were the true Golbalized auto brands as they were ruling America till 80s when Japanese entered ditto like what Hyundai did during last decade. Ask Henry Ford to doff to a Toyota Prius Hybrid or a Toyota Corolla & get your bums kicked real hard:evilsmile!!

- Full coverage: Holden VF Commodore
- First drive review: Holden Commodore SS
- First drive review: Holden Commodore SS-V Redline sedan
The Holden VF Commodore's new Evoke base model has been given the task of replacing two 3.0-litre V6-powered grades – the outgoing entry-level Omega and the next-up-the-totem Berlina.
The rationale is that the Omega has a reputation as a fleet car, with the Berlina falling somewhere between a rep-mobile and the low end of the Commodore retail business.
The good news is that the new Evoke is better equipped than even the Berlina. It also possesses an elevated level of refinement, and is a safer and more pleasing drive than the old Omega/Berlina. Holden says that while it's not moving away from the rental/fleet market, the market has changed and that it expects the more appealing, better featured Evoke to lasso an increased number of private buyers.
The carryover 3.0-litre direct injection V6 produces 185kW - down 5kW on the VE due to the switch from twin exhausts to a lighter single exhaust. Peak torque is unchanged at a willing-enough 290Nm, although it's produced fractionally higher in the rev range. The trade-off, says Holden, is that there's now more torque below 2000rpm, where people will use it most often.
Transmission is the familiar six-speed auto. There is no manual option for the Evoke.
All VF Commodores have improved fuel economy, but the Evoke benefits better than the rest, with a six-per cent gain. Put this down to a myriad of changes starting with some handy weight reductions.
Use of an aluminium bonnet, boot-lid, front suspension knuckles, lower arm and instrument panel beam, a smaller and lighter 195mm high-efficiency differential, and that lighter single exhaust contributed to 72.5 kilograms being pulled from the weight of the Evoke. Added goodies and the selective use of higher tensile steel put 29.5kg back into the entry sedan, leaving it at 1622kg - or 43 kilos lighter than the old Omega.
The reduction in mass means improved fuel efficiency, acceleration, braking and cornering. And a changed dynamic feel to the front of the car.
The 3.0-litre V6 wasn't exactly a sweet thing in the old VE Commodore. But the diligent work of the engineers on noise and harshness reduction is obvious from the moment the engine kicks over into a submissive idle. There's a welcome detachment from all those mad sounds going on in the engine bay.
The slight power reduction isn't noticeable on the road, with the weight loss compensating for the missing kilowatts. We'll be surprised if the VF Evoke accelerates any slower than the VE. And around corners its possibly a little more composed even with the FE1 (or Comfort) suspension tune – the softest of three created for the VF.
It offers a typically comfortable but mildly firm ride with bigger stabiliser bars controlling body roll. Spring rates are different with the Evoke because of the reduction in car mass.
Even with a little more roll induced by more forceful driving, the Evoke clings on tenaciously, with no nastiness when it impacts with sharp edges or bumps in the bitumen. The high-ish profile 60-series Bridgestone tyres play a role here too.
The suspension tune aligns with the low-effort calibration for the new electric steering. It feels good.
The Holden engineers have also been busy chasing further fuel efficiency with such measures as electronic power steering, careful powertrain calibration, aerodynamic improvements, and a lower 500rpm idle speed (though no start/stop feature is offered with VF because it was too costly).
The base Evoke's combined (urban and highway) fuel economy has dropped to 8.3 litres per 100km, making it six per cent more frugal than the superseded base Omega. Carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaust emissions are 198g/km, sliding it under an arbitrary 200g/km limit set by some fleets.
The Evoke's consumption falls bang in the centre of other locals – the thirstier 4.0-litre Ford Falcon XT at 9.9L and Toyota Aurion (9.3L) and the thriftier Falcon EcoBoost four-cylinder turbo (8.1L) and Toyota Camry (7.8L).
The more contemporary cabin of the Evoke is trimmed with a mix of boring but serviceable dark cloth and vinyl. Gone in favour of a compact and easy electric park brake is that clumsy old handbrake that jammed fingers and broke women's nails.
The steering wheel carries cruise control and phone/SRC (source) buttons. The dual-zone air conditioning blasts heartily without an excess of fan noise. All of the VF Commodore range including the Evoke has standard Auto Park Assist, so useful for those who should never have been given a driving licence.
Driver's seat adjustment is part power (lumbar and height) and part manual, but the seat angle is no longer a wheel but a lever, which means it's quicker to adjust but doesn't have the finer adjustment of a wheel.
Main dials are a legible white on black. The trip computer contains the usual handy info. Holden's MyLink entertainment system integrates with stored music, a smartphone, Bluetooth and the usual audio sources, accessible via a simple-to-use eight-inch touch screen.
The good-value, more polished Evoke is an earnest and brave attempt to punch its way back into the tough fleet and family sedan volume game.

The deadly tornado in Moore, Oklahoma reminds everyone of the need to have a plan when severe weather strikes.The Red Cross can help.
Muskingum Valley Executive Director, Marlene Henderson says technology is making it easier to stay connected during dangerous weather. Their new cell phone apps are one way the Red Cross is reaching out.
"It will give you warnings when there's approaching severe weather, especially tornados and once something would happen in this area it would also give you the shelter site where shelters are open," Henderson said.
The app has pre loaded content which means even if your phone is without connection you can still receive updated information. Along with the app Henderson says it's important to have a safety kit ready in case of bad weather.
" The kit is comprised of anything that you need personally, a list of medications, an extra pair of glasses, always take a whistle, " Henderson said.
In case of an emergency people can let their family and friends know that they are safe by visiting the safe and well page on the Red Cross website. While you are there print out a tornado safety checklist to make sure you are protected.

Hi All,
I am attending my National Conference and staying at the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel this coming weekend.
I am getting there the day before and bringing my kids aged 10 and 5. We have never been so I have one day to see attractions like the White House etc. We live in Manhattan and we have plenty of the hop on and hop off buses which are a great way to get around. I am sure they are available in DC. I really only have this Friday to go sightseeing with them so i figured we could cover a lot of ground rather than trying to navigate them on our own?
My husband flies in Late that night and he will take them to other attractions over the weekend.
Any suggestions or advice would be great as its a great experience for all of us. Also where do you normally get on this buses? Just trying to have it all worked out so we don't waste a minute as time is so limited.

Got a big for u to suck ,load big ! U want (inbox) now for photo!
I cleaned my wife's pussy during our first and second date with her ex black boyfriend. Then I stopped doing this for the next dates.
During one of the last dates with him in 2013, my wife and me had been fucking in doggy but I couldn't make her cum. Doggy never was my best position. I have not problems making her cum in missionary or cowgirl, but doggy is not for me. Some hours later, our friend Axel came at home to visit us. He had not come for sex but to drink a coffee with us. However I asked him to fuck Susie in doggy. I wished she could reach her orgasm in this position because I know doggy turns her on a lot. They fucked oer our bed and he made her cum just in two minutes. This turned me on a lot, so I put my head between her legs and licked her pussy until I swallowed his last sperm drop.
You may see a video in this web from that amazing fuck.
Like to see clip!,if true u could suck my cock anytime after we fuck your wife pussy,hurry post that clip!

Curious how that alpaca single will sub for a merino? Want to know the differences between metal and bamboo needles? Ask it here and we'll pick one periodically and publish an answer.
or take a peek at what some people are asking…
September 7, 2015
The pattern is designed using an alpaca/merino blend. I can't wear alpaca; I'm too sensitive to the prickle factor. Any suggestions for determining good substitutions?

I'd like to know more about different cast ons. What is each good for? How to decide which to use.

Become a life Coach - Life Coaching courses from Carole Ann Rice
I have been a life coach for 14 years now and it was singularly the most powerful and positive career change I have ever made.
Previously I was a journalist but retraining to be a coach all those years ago has given me an amazing career which has taken me in some incredible directions.

I have also coached many coaches and have been dismayed at how their own coaching education has let them down. Mostly there seemed to be a lack of dynamism in what they had been taught and were clueless about setting up an abundant practice, attracting great clients, marketing themselves and take their place amongst the constellation of coaching stars.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): My unmarried Taurus friend Deirdre recently adopted a stray kitten, and already she is saying, without a trace of irony, that the creature is her soulmate. Heather, another Taurus I know, just bought a puppy as a way to sublimate her increasingly uncontrollable yearnings to have a baby. Then there's my Taurean acquaintance Ellen. She recently visited a do-it-yourself teddy bear factory, where she fashioned herself an adorable little companion. These events lend credence to my theory that a fresh and innocent new facet of your psyche is ripe to be born.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): In ancient Rome, gladiator contests were as popular as the football games of modern times. The warriors back then were not hired heroes, however, as they are now. They were slaves or convicts who were forced to fight. Even if they won, they were usually required to return and risk their lives another day. Now and then a grizzled veteran was awarded the ultimate prize: a wooden sword, symbolizing the end of his role as a gladiator and the beginning of his life as a free man. I'm telling you all this, Gemini, because I believe you've finally earned your own personal equivalent of the wooden sword. You may now leave the terrifying arena for good.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Lately you remind me of a 7-year-old child wearing the pajamas that fit you when you were 4. The bare ends of your arms and legs are sticking way out beyond the sleeves and pant legs. There are rips here and there where the fabric isn't able to accommodate your more grown-up body. The damn things are so tight that they're cutting off your circulation in spots. In fact, I can't stand to see you so uncomfortable, Cancerian. Please find someplace private and change into roomier threads.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In her book The Secret Language of Signs, Denise Linn quotes Joseph Winterhawk Martin, a Maori medicine man. The white heron, he says, is his tribe's sacred messenger and supremely good omen. Most people see the bird only once in their lifetime, though some are fortunate enough to spy it on several occasions. I bring this up, Leo, not because I expect that you will catch a glimpse of a white heron this week. (Unless you're Maori.) But I do predict you will encounter a sign that has just as much holy and lucky meaning for you as the heron does for Joseph Winterhawk Martin's tribe.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In March, I urged you Virgos to send me symbols of your most inconsolable suffering. For weeks after that, I was deluged with your offerings. Among them was an album of childhood photos, a broken firebird kite, an ex-lover's underpants, and a dead black widow spider in a handmade coffin draped with miniature roses. Just after dark on May 3, I drove to a deserted beach and built a bonfire. As it raged, I hurled your icons in and prayed to the Goddess. I beseeched her to help you graduate from the twisted destiny that led you to your heartache. I implored her to prevent you from becoming hypnotized by a similar karmic scourge in the future. Finally, I asked her to reward you for your torment with an act of grace and healing.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This week should be a liberating turning point for cosmetics test rabbits, cult members, and prisoners of conscience born under the sign of Libra. Likewise for all Librans who've served as guinea pigs in experiments against their better judgment: There's never been a better chance to escape free and clear. As you plot your next five moves (not just your next move, please), guard against falling victim to the Stockholm syndrome. You can't afford to feel too much sympathy for those who've manipulated you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I find it ironic and amusing that I have to remind the zodiac's most inexhaustible lover about one of the fundamental truths of erotic communion. How could you have forgotten? Some seductions need to go on for months, Scorpio -- even years. These masterpieces of intimacy should not be climaxed prematurely. Allow me to suggest further that in the greatest affairs, the seduction never ends -- or may require several incarnations to unfold.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): What's worse than finding a dead worm in an apple you just bit into? Half a dead worm, of course. Please hold that thought uppermost in your mind in the coming days, Sagittarius. It should help you appreciate that though life may have been a bit creepy in the past few weeks, it wasn't outright nauseating. That in turn will encourage you to cultivate the grateful attitude you'll need to turn your luck around. And very soon, all your apples will be utterly worm-free.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Before you commit to any magnificent boondoggles or exorbitant chimeras in the next few weeks, consider the comments of Henry David Thoreau concerning one of the so-called wonders of the world. "As for the pyramids," he said, "there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs." One person's resplendent icon, dear Capricorn, may be another's irrelevant waste of time.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the next few weeks I'll encourage you to be more melodious and lyrical. I'll urge you to dance more than usual and to commune with new tunes. Singing in the shower and car won't be sufficient, Aquarius; you'll need to croon in the garden and kitchen as well. I'll also award you extra credit if you meditate on being more musical in the way you make love. Now read this fragment of a poem by Ghanaian poet Kofi Awoonor. "Go and tell them that I crossed the river/ While the canoes were still empty/ And the boatmen had gone away./ My god of songs was ill/ And I was taking him to be cured."
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Three questions (and answers) for you this week, Pisces. 1) Have you ever heard yourself thinking, "I'll never live up to my highest ideals"? After this week, I bet that self-curse will never bruise your brain again. 2) Have you ever caught yourself unconsciously sabotaging the efforts of people who're trying to help you? I'm hoping that an imminent epiphany will relieve you of this bad habit forever. 3) Have you ever wondered if there's a critical gap in the story of your origins? Soon, if you're alert, you may catch a glint of the entertaining truth.

Not blowing Smoke: Tony Stewart, No. 14 team making strides
Tony Stewart isn't where he wants to be yet, but he's gaining on it.
The three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion had a strong run under the lights Saturday night in the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, where he brought the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet home 11th, his seventh consecutive top-20 finish.
And it was particularly impressive given that Stewart had to start from the very back of the field because of a transmission change.
"I would've liked to have been a little better than what we were there at the end, but I think we definitely had to fight our way up there through the day," Stewart said after the race. "We never did anything trick to get track position. We pitted every time the pits were open. We didn't do any less than anybody else did on any stop. All in all, I thought we had a pretty honest day there. Can't complain about that."
In his first year back after his horrific double-compound fracture of the right leg suffered in a sprint car crash in Iowa last year, Stewart is very close to working himself into the field for the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
After the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Stewart was 22nd in points; now, he's all the way up to 16th. More importantly, he's a mere 14 points from holding down the final spot in the Chase field.
A race victory would all but guarantee Stewart a Chase slot, although he could make it in on points as well.
But heading into Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway, Stewart will be pretty much focused on one thing only: Winning. And history says he's got a pretty good chance of doing just that.
After all, Stewart is a four-time Coke Zero 400 winner, taking home the July 4 weekend trophy from Daytona in 2005, '06, '09 and '12. And according to NASCAR's Loop Data statistics, Stewart has led 548 laps in the past 19 points races at Daytona, with Kyle Busch second at 329 led.
If you want a little more evidence that Stewart is due for a victory, consider the following: Of Stewart's 48 career Sprint Cup race victories, nine of them have come in the month of July. All of which could make for a big weekend at Daytona.
And more than any of his peers, Stewart is someone who can go on a tear at a moment's notice, as witnessed by his extraordinary championship run three years ago. Stewart went winless through the entire 26-race Sprint Cup schedule in 2011, posting just three top-five finishes. After barely making the Chase that year, Stewart went on to win five of the 10 Chase races and his third title, this one in a tiebreaker over Carl Edwards.
So while Stewart is still searching for a little more speed in his SHR Chevy, he just might find it this weekend at Daytona.

Now Reading
There is shift going on in Saskatchewan. And the way the Riders drafted was indicative of how their roster will look in 2014.
Simply put, Saskatchewan's starting lineup will feature a few less non-imports.
During the 2013 campaign, the Riders were spoiled with their non-import talent, att one time having nine starters (six on offence and three on defence."
» Draft Tracker» Ottawa trades #1 selection to Calgary» Lavertu taken 1st overall by Stamps» Bombers grab Goossen 2nd overall» Argos trade up, draft Coombs in 3 spot » Ottawa picks up speedy DB Pruneau at 4» Als take hometown OL Foucault 5th overall» Devon Bailey drafted 6th by Eskimos» Ticats close out round 1 with Gill, Landry» Ainsworth, Lue highlight Round 2 picks» Duvernay-Tardif falls to 19th overall» Trades galore on 2014 Draft night» CFL.ca Mock Draft: V2.0» CFL.ca Mock Draft: V1.0
» 1st Overall Pick – Pierre Lavertu» 2nd Overall Pick – Matthias Goossen» 3rd Overall Pick – Anthony Coombs» 4th Overall Pick – Antoine Pruneau» 5th Overall Pick – David Foucault» 6th Overall Pick – Devon Bailey» 7th Overall Pick – Quinn Smith» 8th Overall Pick – Beau Landry» 9th Overall Pick – Evan Gill» Lavertu Excited to Block for Cornish
Those totals are two higher than the minimum of seven starters a team needs, which is really a great cushion to have.
With the departures of two of those starters on the defensive side of the ball – Keith Shologan and Craig Butler – there will definitely be a shift in that thinking.
The question going into Tuesday's Draft was how would the Riders replace the big losses of Canadian talent through the off-season? Shologan fellow defensive tackle Zack Evans were plucked by Ottawa, while hybrid linebacker/defensive backs Craig Butler and Graig Newman left via free agency.
The answer: They didn't.
You see, the Riders didn't need to replace Butler and Shologan with non-import draftees, they feel they have them replaced with import talent.
Instead, the Riders focused on the positions they know they'll need lots of depth at if they move from nine Canadian starters to seven. Those positions were defensive end, receiver and offensive line. That's where five of their eight picks fit right in.
First, the Riders focused on special teams needs by picking their top player on the special teams board, Dylan Ainsworth out of Western.
Ainsworth helps the team fill the departures of Butler and Newman in punt and kickoff coverage. The latter two were exceptional at getting down field and that's where Ainsworth excels as well.
As far as his natural position at defensive end, that's a project. This season, it does help the team's depth behind starter Ricky Foley, who could be the only full time non-import starter on defence out of the gate in 2014.
Although some other teams were clambering to move up and get pro ready players, Draft day in Saskatchewan wasn't as important for the immediate future for the Roughriders.
The way General Manager Brendan Taman conducted himself during the Draft showed that. Taman decided to trade down to pick up more picks than he had going in.
Getting Ainsworth at 11th overall in the second round was just a bonus.
If you pencil in the Riders non-import starters on day one you will find Foley, receivers Chris Getzlaf and Rob Bagg and offensive linemen Brendon LaBatte, Dominic Picard, Chris Best and Ben Hennan. With depth behind Foley covered off, the Riders continued to pile the depth behind their receivers and o-line.
Alex Pierzchalski and Kris Bastien were two of the top receivers in the draft and the Riders got them both in rounds two and three.
Pierzchalski impressed the Riders at the Combine, as the brass were reminded of Chris Getzlaf. His personality jumped out right away and his size and speed may be a little different but they hope Pierzchalski surprises as Getzlaf did, climbing from a fifth round pick to one of the best non-import receivers in the league.
As for Bastien, they feel they may have a steal with him falling to the bottom of the third round.
Offensive linemen Kyle Paterson and Terry Hart came later on, as Saskatchewan is well stocked behind their four starters with last year's fourth overall pick Corey Watman, fifth round pick Matt Vonk and fourth year Rider Dan Clark.
The biggest surprise for the Riders was picking kicker John Mark in the third round. The Riders have Chris Milo, Josh Bartel and Brett Cameron all on the roster.
But the Riders way is making sure they have the next guy up in case something goes wrong. Right now, they don't have a place kicker behind Milo and that's why they felt it was worth taking the best kicker in the draft.
If you're looking for a grade based on impact of the 2014 roster, I'll give it a C.
But keep in mind the change in the Draft eligibility rules decreased the talent pool and the Riders weren't panicking to find players who can have instant impact on this season.
If Ainsworth is the only draftee that makes it on their game day roster this season, the Riders will be fine.
This is a futures draft class for the Riders and you'll have to look back in three or four seasons to assess if they deserve a higher grade.

In 1962, four couples, Gerry and Esther Daniel, Herb and Ruth Dreifuss, Monroe and Freddie Postman and Nat and Edie Kallman began talking about the need for a Conservative synagogue in the South Bay. They were soon joined by another interested party, Paul Kernoff. Gerry and Paul put an ad in the November 1962 San Jose Jewish Community Bulletin announcing a meeting to explore forming a new Conservative congregation in the area. The meeting was a success; over one hundred people attended, seventy-five of whom put their names on a list of potential members. By the time of the second meeting, in December, Paul Kernoff had been named acting chairman and committees had been formed to organize a new congregation. Incorporation papers were filed January 21, 1963. Gerry Daniel became the first president of the congregation.
In April 1963, newly named Congregation Beth David began to hold services at the Meeting House in Santa Clara. The first High Holy Day services were held that fall; the pioneer Hebrew School classes right after. The congregation met at several locations before establishing its permanent home in Saratoga in 1975. From its peripatetic beginnings, Beth David has grown into a community of approximately 500 households, nationally recognized for its rich and varied programs. Through it all we have strived to retain the innovative spirit and communal warmth of our early days.

Our church is committed to inter-generational ministry. We believe that there is great value in the older training the younger (Titus 2), and for the younger to bring excitement and energy to the older. This affects the ways we "do" ministry in two ways: 1) We offer a limited number of programs that are age and gender separated in order to focus on intergenerational groups. 2) These ministries do not operate as separate "arms" of the church, but rather are individual programs under the Elders' oversight.
Women's Night - Monthly Women's Gathering (ages 13+):
On the first Wednesday of each month, all women ages 13 and up gather in Dority Hall for dinner at 6:00pm followed by a time of worship and teaching. This time will end by 8:00pm. (We will not be providing childcare - single moms who would need help with childcare can email Karen in advance at email@example.com or phone 795-9449.)
Women's Tuesday Groups:
Each Tuesday morning and evening are groups for training and equipping the women in our body. More information and registration HERE.
Women's Wednesday Night Bible Study (ages 13+):
Come join women of all ages each Wednesday evening (except the first Wednesday of each month) from 6:30-8pm for fellowship and Karen Robertson teaching Scriptures and Topical Studies from the Bible (notes and/or outlines are available for study participants). Classes meet in the 2-story building to the left of the gym - no childcare is available for this study.
Holiday schedules may affect Bible study gatherings. Please call the office at 795-9449 to confirm session dates or email email@example.com.
Facebook - JI Girls Page
The ladies of JICC have a great community board on facebook where we can communicate about events going on, ask questions, and connect with others. If you would like to join this group, please email firstname.lastname@example.com to be added.
Women's Outreach
Anyone interested in preparing, delivering, or coordinating meals, doing hospital visitation, or any other helpful ministry to women are encouraged to contact Karen Robertson at the church office (795-9449), or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
