Mount Cedric Wright Climber's Log
Fairweather - Oct 19, 2015 1:09 am Date Climbed: Aug 2, 1976From the Muir Trail
Nice layover day peak while hiking the Muir Trail with Andy & Kevin. From our camp near Twin Lakes we picked our way up the West side.
Vitaliy M. - Jul 29, 2011 4:22 pm Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2010SC 2010
Fun day hike...aside from starting several thousand feet bellow TH
boyblue - May 23, 2011 7:36 pm Date Climbed: Sep 12, 1988West to East Traverse
This peak rose right above my camp so naturally I had to climb it.
Bob Burd - Oct 2, 2010 3:16 pm Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2010NE Ridge
Day 9 of the 2010 Sierra Challenge. Armstrong Canyon is not a good place to climb out of with a large group - too much loose, unstable rock. Trip Report.
kevin trieu - Oct 1, 2010 5:37 pm Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2010SC '10
fun SC '10 with Moosetracks and the gang.
Princess Buttercup - Sep 2, 2010 11:07 pm Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2010And back again...
Longest day of the SC, what a slog. Won't go back to Armstrong Canyon without snow (and skis). Had wanted to do Colosseum but balked since I was friggin' pooped.
PellucidWombat - Aug 16, 2010 4:11 pm Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2010Nice Peak after Coliseum
Climbed the cl. 3 NE Ridge from the col on my way over from Colloseum. Descended the E/SE Face on my way to Perkins Pk.
Princess Buttercup - Jun 24, 2010 9:21 am Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2010Great snow climb.
Fighting a case of the lazies in camp, thought maybe about just scouting the area for later. Instead Scott and I headed up the SE slopes in the snow. Perfect for kick/plunge stepping. Awesome views.
Langenbacher - Jun 29, 2007 3:00 pm Date Climbed: May 27, 2007East Slope
From Colosseum Col with Daryn, Steve, Tim, Lisa, Brian, Jim, and Louise! Made a bee-line from the col, avoiding the ridge, for an easy class 2 climb. Came in from Armstrong Col the previous day, then on to Colosseum Mtn and Sawmill pass that night. Nice little peak! See pix at http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/559250706KwcBqN
MoabPeakBagger - Jun 9, 2007 8:39 pm Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2006ne ridge

Scott M. - Aug 7, 2005 7:14 pmRoute Climbed: South East Slope Date Climbed: September 1, 1985
Have done this a couple of times since this first time during overnight trips to Woods Lake. I have also integrated the traverse over to Colosseum on May 24, 1987.
thebeave7 - Jul 21, 2005 9:46 pmRoute Climbed: SE Slope, descent of NE Ridge Date Climbed: 7/16/05
Made the long truck up and over the pass in one day, camping in the Woods Lake Basin. Took off the next morning up the SE slope then descended the NE Ridge and traversed over to Colosseum Mt. Another beautiful day in the Sierras.

The Five Star Burgers at 555 Broadway had a lot going for it, even on the restaurant-heavy corner of Sixth and Broadway. The green chile on that big, fat cheeseburger featured real Hatch chiles. If that and the hand-cut fries didn't fill you up, you could order deep-fried banana bread for dessert. There were even plans to book bands for live music on the patio. But the lights at Five Star Burgers have gone out. See also: Five Star Burgers earns its five stars with Hatch green chile
Five Star Burgers is owned by the Taos Restaurant Group, which also owns Old Blinking Light in Highlands Ranch and Taos, and has other Five Star locations scattered between New Mexico, Missouri (that state's burger joint has a special "Iron Skillet" burger smothered in bacon gravy and topped with a fried egg) and metro Denver, where the spot at 2330 East Arapahoe Road in Centennial is still open.
In fact, according to the Five Star website, the Broadway location, is, too -- but last night it was locked up tight, with all signage gone and a dumpster out front.

I've just had to refasten DS's one this morning about 4 times, I don't know whether the velcro is starting to wear out or what? He is 15 kg so probably above the 'official' weight limit but there is plenty of overlap around the waist to velcro, it seems more like the tab on one side is just coming unstuck. It is a nappy I bought second hand from a fellow TNNer but is less than a year old and is in good condition otherwise.
I am hoping there is a solution to this as I love the fit of these nappies and they are so easy for daycare. (My only other reviewing gripe would be the flap at the back for stuffing is hard to cover up when putting the nappy on so sometimes DS gets the insert rubbing on his skin - the flap almost needs a wee bit of velcro to hold it in place, or to be a bit longer).
Yes! I'm glad I found someone else that this happened to. Josh's wouldn't stay done up, I tried going tighter, looser, more and less inserts, kept undoing! So DS is 15kg, wow he's a chunky monkey!

Mosque and Street, Scutari, Constantinople, Turkey
This photochrome print of a mosque and street scene in Scutari (present-day Üsküdar) on the edge of Constantinople (Istanbul) is part of "Views of People and Sites in Turkey" from the catalog of the Detroit Publishing Company (1905). Located on the Asian side of the Bosporus, Üsküdar was settled in the seventh century BC and was called Skoutarion in Byzantine times, probably after the leather shields of the imperial guards (scutari means "raw tanned leather"). It was known as Escutaire or Eksüdar to the successive waves of invading Persians, Macedonians, Arabs, and Crusaders. Scutari was described in the 1911 edition of Baedeker's The Mediterranean, seaports and sea routes: Handbook for Travellers as a "large suburb of Constantinople…its fine old mosques, its crooked streets, and its small timber houses give it a more Oriental characteristic than Stambul."

Amazon US - Amazon UK - Goodreads
Divorced and lonely, Flora Wilson is distraught when she hears news of the death of little Charlotte Anderson.
Charlotte's father killed her and then himself, and although he left a letter with clues to the whereabouts of her grave, his two-year-old daughter still hasn't been found.
Flora embarks on a quest to find Charlotte's body to give the child's mother closure, believing that by doing so she can somehow atone for her own failings as a mother.
As she hunts in winter through the remote moors of the Scottish Highlands, her obsession comes to threaten everything that's important to her — her job, her friendship with her colleague Philip Metcalfe and her relationships with her three grown up children.
'I'll chum you.'
They parted just beyond the bridge across the Ness, Grace heading up the pedestrian streets and Flora cutting across to the library, fronted by the long line of cars full of Saturday shoppers manoeuvering towards the car parks. She wasn't a regular library user, but once the idea had taken her she remembered that there was something she wanted to check.
In the reference section, she stood for a moment before selecting the Ordnance Survey map that covered the area south of Ullapool. She knew it quite well. When the children were young they'd gone walking there regularly, able to reach the open spaces without pushing the slowest (usually Amelia, though Beth was the youngest) too hard. They'd graduated to more difficult walks, then stopped walking altogether. Eventually she had developed a fondness for the slightly less bleak terrain to the south of Inverness, where she went occasionally with Philip and his brother, or with a colleague from work. She hadn't been out all year, not since before Christmas, in fact, and even then they'd been rained off not very far in and driven back to the comfort of a tea shop in Grantown-on-Spey.
A nostalgic yearning for a good long walk swept over her as she unfolded the map and smoothed it out across one of the desks. She and Danny used to look at maps together plotting their routes. His stubby forefinger, with its bitten nails, had traced the most challenging route to start, sliding along the steep and craggy ridges until he remembered the children and reluctantly redrew, shorter, safer.
She thought she knew the place where Alastair Anderson had left his car, and found it easily enough. Under her fingers the map was a flat web of never-parallel lines, of ugly pock-marking that told of steep, loose rocks and inhospitable terrain, just the type of place they used to walk. Somewhere up here, Charlotte Anderson was buried. Carried there, already dead? Or walked there and then killed? Surely neither was realistic; surely they would have found her, with their dogs and their mountain rescue helicopters scouring the ground for new scars, and all the rest of the equipment they had at their disposal.
Looking at the map had been a mistake. It was obvious now. Besides, she couldn't see it any more; all she could see was the image of Suzanne Beauchamp, that beautiful face with the cold façade, like a wax death mask from Madame Tussauds. More poignant, of course, since it must hide a struggle, a struggle to conceal or to suppress a deadly mixture of grief and guilt.
'Go away!' she said softly to this mirage of a grieving woman, a little afraid of its power. 'Go away!' And then, in the only defence left to her, she began to fold the map away.

Taking Care of Crime on Many Levels!
. . . delightful reading. There is just enough intrigue, adventure, romance, humor and gritty real living to make for a fascinating and enjoyable read! Very nicely crafted, Jennifer Young and recommended reading! ~ Viviane Crystal, Amazon
A complex, intriguing page-turner
I hadn't read anything by Jennifer Young previous to this, but it's made me want to check out her other books. Looking for Charlotte is a mystery/romance novel with lots of very deep and emotional themes. This isn't a light hearted read, but a complex, intriguing page-turner. It's well written and structured in a way that really makes it hard to put the book down! So if you're looking for a novel to get your teeth into which tugs at your heartstrings, but is deeply rooted in a real life, then I'd definitely recommend this. ~ Lucy Felthouse, author of One Night in Paris, Amazon
Beautiful story with Depth, Compassion, Romance and Mystery
This story ... it really grips your heart, and the Character's are so well written that any mother can relate to them. I loved how the Author kept the Mystery all the way to the end to keep the reader intrigued and the fact that the 2 Main Character's have an impact on each other's lives without them ever meeting each other. This story touches the whole spectrum of emotions available. It takes the Reader from Sad to Mad to Crying to Happy and Back again. Both Main Character's rely allot on themselves to learn to cope and move on. This is a Happy Ending Book and I am Glad the Book ended the way it ended. I would gladly read more books by this author and recommend this book to anyone. ~ Charelene, Amazon

A satisfying page turner
This is a romance, certainly – two romances, in fact. A romance with a mystery niggling away in the background, the answer to which is not revealed until the end . . . it is a more than satisfying journey, the desire to turn the page and learn more about each of the principal protagonists ever present. The peripheral characters, too, are well drawn; there are no stereotypes here. ~ Mr F Parker, Amazon
A well-crafted page-turner!
"Looking for Charlotte" is well-written and thought-provoking, with some fantastically descriptive turns of phrase, evoking the very atmospheric solitary spleandour of the Scottish Highlands and the contrastingly busy inner-city locations. The characters are beautifully drawn (human and animal - who could not love Dizzy the dog, even if Beth leaving him with Flora is a typical daughter-taking-her mother-for-granted imposition?!) I warmed to Suzanne as she struggled to cope with her tragedy, and found myself desperately wanting Flora to sort out her life and get it right this time - to find out whether she did, I recommend you read the book! ~ Mrs Fiona M Mayes, Amazon
A moving and thought-provoking romance
A romance with depth, this novel addresses coming to terms with losing children and husbands. The tragedy of the loss of Charlotte at the centre of the novel, and the pain of her mother, will move you to tears. Charlotte is killed by her father, who then kills himself. This is cleverly contrasted with the loss of children fleeing the nest, blaming their mother for their parents' divorce, the pain of which triggers the search for Charlotte. Both mothers, who never meet, are able through the love of familiy and friends, old and new, to find the strenth to come to terms with their loss and to build new lives. ~ JennyZ, Amazon
Gripping story, believable characters
I really enjoyed this book - the characters of the grown up children were very true to life. I found the developing relationships to be well thought out and made me want to keep reading. ~ Linda E, Amazon
Great story, - credible, haunting and well written. A real page turner. ~ Jeoffry, Amazon

As technology bridges the gap between patients and clinicians, allowing remote and personalized forms of medical care, new paradigms of health-care delivery must address issues of privacy and security that arise with sharing data over the Internet. These issues are especially relevant with the advent of medical wearables or wearable health-care devices, which have seen an explosion in the marketplace and a continuing growing popularity. A good outsourcing company can ensure that your medical practice or health-care facility stays up-to-date with the latest protocols, and that your patients' information complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
According to HIPAA, to protect health information from hackers or other privacy breaches, no personal or protected health information should be identifiable from data in electronic or digital form. This includes a person's name, address, phone number, medical record number, and Social Security number, while the data in question may be a physical examination, lab test result, or even a vital sign like someone's blood pressure.

The Syrian army has made more gains in its fight against foreign - backed militants operating inside the country establishing full control over the town of al - Nabek.Units of the armed forces on Monday took the town after a series of successful operations, an unnamed military source told official SANA news agency. The town was captured after government forces seized a key highway near it, which passes through the strategic region of Qalamoun. The highway is extremely valuable to both sides of the battle because it serves as an important link between Damascus and the country's north. The latest gain paves the way for the start of overland shipment of the Syria's chemical weapons to a Mediterranean port for destruction abroad. The crisis in Syria has created an obstacle to the implementation of an agreement between Damascus and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to remove chemical weapons from Syria. On September 14, Russia and the United States agreed on a deal under which Syria would have its chemical weapons eliminated and the US would in return not carry out planned strikes on the Arab country. The war rhetoric against Syria intensified after foreign-backed opposition forces accused the government of President Bashar al-Assad of launching a chemical attack on militant strongholds in the suburbs of the capital Damascus on August 21. Damascus has vehemently denied the accusation, saying the attack was carried out by the militants themselves as a false-flag operation.

New photos from the Sydney, Australia, set of The Wolverine provide a look at Hugh Jackman as a claw-wielding Logan, and a gaggle of ninjas -- all in a wintertime scene. The images come from the Daily Telegraph, which has more.
According to the newspaper, the sequence involves Wolverine riding atop a snowplow through a Japanese village while ninjas attack him from the rooftops.
Directed by James Mangold, The Wolverine is based in part on the 1982 Wolverine miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, which found Logan battling ninjas and the politics of the Tokyo criminal underworld for the heart of his ex-lover, the daughter of a Japanese crime lord.
Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma) recently teased that the 3D Fox film as "Japanese noir picture with tentpole action in it" and underscored The Wolverine takes place outside the continuity established in the studio's previous X-Men movies. "I wanted to be able to tell the story without the burden of handing it off to a film that already exists and having to conform to it," he said.
Jackman is joined by Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee. The Wolverine opens July 26, 2013.

Departure information
Responsible tourism
Peru vacation, tailor made tour
Carbon reduction
Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.
We believe it is critical that local people be made active partners in developing a local tourism industry and driving conservation efforts. Money generated by tourism should stay in and directly benefit the community. This means hiring local guides, staying in locally owned hotels, and using the local transportation infrastructure.
The philosophy carries over to our successful micro-grant program, that provides funding for small, grassroots projects in the countries we visit. In Peru, we have awarded grants to reforestation projects, operations at a women's shelter, reconstruction of buildings, village irrigation systems, sanitation systems, and a conservation of traditional handicraft techniques. By traveling with us, you help to fund such projects.
Conservation at home is as important to us as conservation in the field. Our office promotes cycling and car pooling to work - winning our city-wide commuter challenge two years running. Those in big cities might be surprised to learn that only a few items like aluminum cans are recycled by the local sanitation company. Since that's not good enough for us, we pay for a private recycling service that collects all of our paper, plastic, cardboard, and cans. All of our paper is made from 100% post-consumer material and our brochures use soy-ink - an expensive but earth friendly alternative to traditional inks.
On this trip, travelers overnight with local Uros people on Amantaní Island and enjoy a homestay with a local family in the village of Sibayo. This is a unique opportunity for travelers wanting to experience the daily and communal life of a rural Peruvian village. Of course, funds generated from these homestay tours go to the families and communities that are involved. Travelers will also visit Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco (CTTC). The CTTC is a non-profit organization established in 1996 to aid in the survival of Incan textile traditions and to provide support to weaving communities. Working with the Center, Quechua weavers and their families in the region of the former Incan capitol are engaged in skills-building, community networking and market development. For the past three years, 90% our Peru travelers have visited CTTC (Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco) when in the Sacred Valley.
Our escorted trips use local guides and support staff exclusively. Many of the local guides we use hold degrees in their region's history, biology, archaeology or a related field. Certification programs are required; many also participate in an apprenticeship before they are allowed to lead tours on their own. Our Peruvian guides speak English, Spanish and Quechua. All guides are thoroughly researched and hand-picked by our staff or a trusted affiliate. Both our guides and our travelers are all versed in the Leave No Trace principles.

Negative Reports on Anti-Depressants Squashed...Perhaps Tom Cruise Was Right?
The big news: So it turns out that many negative reports on the effectiveness on antidepressants have been either suppressed or spun so that they seemed more positive than they were. Big surprise. As I have been saying for years, the drug companies profit from people believing they need anti-depressants to overcome depression, that there's something physically wrong that requires a pill.
As recent studies have shown, exercise can be just as effective (and possibly more) in fighting anti-depressants than a pill. But exercise doesn't come in a pill form, so the drug companies have no reason to tell you that.
Ironically, as this news comes out, Tom Cruise is being blasted on all sides for a private Scientology video that has been leaked. A lengthy news report from Australian television trashes Cruise for his stance that anti-depressants and the world of psychiatry at large are bad. While it's so easy to bash Scientology (since it's that weird religion), hardly anyone is acknowledging that, hey, maybe Tom was a little bit right. After all, it's looking just a leeeetle bad that these negative anti-depressant reports have been hushed up.
Could it be that profits are more important than healing people to the drug companies? Hm. You think?
Scientology doesn't scare me because I live in Los Angeles and I had a good friend who was a Scientologist once. It's about as scary to me as any religion, meaning, when it becomes fundamentalist, we have a problem. A fundamentalist Scientologist is no worse and no better than a fundamentalist Christian.
Tom may have gone off the deep end, but no more than anyone who has found Jesus and needs to convert everyone they meet. If Mitt Romney, a Mormon, can run for President, why is it not OK that an actor is a Scientologist? Both religions are bizarre and come from dubious origins.
Let's not kill the messenger, just because the source is not a mainstream religion. The one thing that the Scientologists do stand for, and that we should give them credit for, is that they are anti-drug. They are against all types of mind-altering drugs. That includes street drugs as well as psychiatric drugs.
This is not an insane, crazy position. This is valid position that I wish more people would consider. Meanwhile, we continue to drug ourselves and our children into oblivion with these legal drugs pushed by the biggest dope pushers of them all, Big Pharma. And that's the cult I'm most concerned about, because it has absolutely permeated our society as being "the answer," and hardly anyone criticizes it.

The drug industry is only
The drug industry is only thinking about the money. No one is thinking about the health of the people. Their are trying to help in a little way so they can get a lot of money. Sad to say that this will be around for many years to come. Too bad is that everybody knows this but nobody is doing something. I hope that once day the people in charge of these drug, will end up in a drug addiction treatment center so thay can see tha harm that they did.

I won't argue what you said
I won't argue what you said and I support your opinion. My position is based on real facts as I am a ex drug addict, just recovered in rehabs. Antidepressants were supposed to help me but instead I only got more confused as their effects lead me into addiction.

Inaccessible Fire Dampers
Many of you may be familiar with the Joint Commission's standard practice for inaccessible fire dampers: If the fire damper is inaccessible during the required testing period, the hospital can choose to insert the damper into the Statement of Conditions Plan for Improvement (PFI) list with a 6-year projected completion date. Then the hospital does not have to resolve the inaccessible fire damper, and they will not be cited for not performing the required testing.
Well, no other accreditation organization (AO) or state agency surveying on behalf of CMS has that luxury. CMS has been very clear to all AOs: If you observe a deficiency, then you must cite it. AOs and state agency surveyors are not permitted to not cite a deficiency if they are presented evidence that a feature of the Life Safety Code is non-compliant. And an inaccessible fire damper on a PFI list is clear evidence that it has not been tested.
So, why does Joint Commission continue to allow their hospital clients to not test inaccessible fire dampers and permit them to place them on the PFI list if CMS does not allow this practice? It is my observation that the reason is mainly due to the fact Joint Commission has been operating as an independent authority since 1965 without having to meet CMS's rules and regulations, until just recently (2009).
For the record, I like the Joint Commission PFI list and think it is a very good deal for hospitals. It provides the hospital an incentive to get out and find their deficiencies before a survey and manage a solution to them through the PFI list. Then a TJC surveyor will not cite them for the deficiency. It's a win-win situation. Hospitals are motivated to conduct self-examinations of their facilities and find all the LSC deficiencies they can, which results in a safer environment for their patients. I wish all AOs and state agencies had that option. However, CMS is threatening to remove the feature from Joint Commission and if they succeed, then the fear is hospitals will not be pro-active and look for their own deficiencies, and sit back and wait to see if the surveyors will find them during the triennial survey.
Even if Joint Commission allows you to manage the inaccessible fire damper through the PFI list, that's only good for a Joint Commission survey. You still need to make the damper accessible and then test it for all the other AHJs.
So, when a fire damper cannot be tested because it is inaccessible… you have little choice but to make the fire damper accessible and then test it. There is another option though; you may request a waiver during the Plan of Correction process, provided it is a significant hardship to the hospital. Waivers are much more difficult to get approved lately through CMS but it is the only other option to you.

Tendinitis and tendinosis. One you've probably heard before. The other, probably not. While they both sound the same, in reality they are worlds apart.
Tendinitis is, by definition, inflammation of a tendon. Tendinosis on the other hand is defined as chronic tendinitis and implies chronic tendon degeneration without the presence of inflammation. Basically, one is short-term with inflammation, the other long-term, without inflammation, though both are caused typically by overuse.
Tendinitis, the most popular diagnosis of the two, usually presents with swelling and tenderness at the sight of pain, often accompanied by stiffness, and less often by weakness. Tendinosis presents most often with stiffness, tenderness to the touch, and weakness–almost identical to tendinitis. Recovery of tendinitis lasts anywhere from days to six weeks, a relatively "quick fix." Tendinosis recovery can last a few short weeks to a couple months or more depending on the level of degeneration. If left untreated, tendinosis often leads to "tear" injuries.
While both conditions are classically treated with conservative measures, the difference in care is absolutely critical to resolution of the problem. Conservative management stems around rest and anti-inflammatory medication for tendinitis, while conservative management of tendinosis aims to restore tendon regrowth and strength through manual therapy and eccentric exercise.
Both, occur most often in the Achilles tendon (ankle), patellar tendon (knee), proximal hamstring (high hamstring), common extensor tendon (elbow), and the supraspinatus tendon (shoulder).
With both of these problems being so relatively close, while treatment is vastly different, proper diagnosis is vital to the recovery process! So which one do you have? Let's go to the research.
While tendinitis is the wildly over-popular diagnosis among general practitioners, it may not be the case. Most research coming out on this topic is now showing that at a cellular level, once believed tendinitis actually is, in fact, tendinosis.
According to Almekinders and Temple, "Most currently practicing general practitioners were taught, and many still believe, that patients who present with overuse tendinitis have a largely inflammatory condition and will benefit from anti-inflammatory medication. Unfortunately this dogma is deeply entrenched. Ten of 11 readily available sports medicine texts specifically recommend non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs despite the lack of clinical evidence."
In light of this, chances are that if you have been diagnosed with tendinitis the diagnosis was incorrect. Furthermore, traditional, conservative treatment, of such, with the use of anti-inflammatories, corticosteroid injections, and/or pain medication may have left you worse off long term even though pain may have dissipated short term (but this conversation is for a different time). These methods were designed to eliminate inflammation, not regrow tendon. As mentioned above, treatment of tendinosis should be aimed at restoring tendon function and strength through manual therapy and eccentric exercise. Drugs will not help! Treatment should also include load management when deemed necessary.
With all this said, while we cannot assume a diagnosis was incorrect, lingering, worsening, or reoccurrence of pain would suggest that it may in fact be tendinosis. It is recommended that treatment plans geared toward tendinitis, in these cases, be reevaluated.
Tendinitis is one of the most commonly diagnosed injuries and all too many struggle to find relief. With the proper diagnosis and treatment plan, it doesn't have to be that way!
At Thrive Spine and Sport, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, including tendinitis and tendinosis. Most patients have seen many different providers before finding relief in our office. Fill out the appointment request on this page or call our office at 319-423-0925 to set up an appointment today!

This listing is for one decal which can be applied to any smooth surface (examples include: your planner, your sticker album, mirror, cup, etc)
Application is simple, but does require patience! The decal will arrive with a clear transfer tape already applied over it. Use a credit card or something similar to smooth the transfer tape over the vinyl. Then lift the transfer tape and make sure the vinyl is lifted as well (this is the part that requires patience!). Once you've lifted the vinyl off the backing, apply to your CLEAN surface (use rubbing alcohol to clean if you've touched the surface recently to remove any oils and let dry). Stick the decal on the surface and then lift the transfer tape after smoothing on your surface. Make sure the vinyl is left behind when you lift the transfer tape. If it's not, lay back down and keep smoothing onto your surface!
Then voila, your vinyl decal is ready! This vinyl is NOT REPOSITIONABLE and the longer it sets on the item, the harder it will be to remove so make sure you want it where you are putting it.
The decal is made of highest quality outdoor vinyl, and can therefore used for indoor or outdoor purposes. Please note that if you apply this to a cup or other item that you might want to wash, you should hand wash the items because the dishwasher CAN remove the vinyl.
Decal is 5.5" wide

About Us
Treating Tumors with Targeted Radiation
Some brain and spine tumors cannot be fully removed with conventional neurosurgery due to their size or location. These tumors may be treated using Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), a way of delivering highly targeted, high energy radiation either as a supplement to surgical treatment or as the treatment of choice. Because the radiation can be delivered with great precision, the healthy tissue surrounding the tumors is not damaged.
Learn from our featured speakers, Eric Sipos, MD, David Frye, MD, and Michael Karaszewski, MS, Physicist, how physicians and surgeons at the Carondelet Neurological Institute's Brain and Spine Tumor Center use this approach to treat both cancerous and benign tumors in the brain or spinal cord.
This seminar will take place on November 7th at 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m at Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital Auditorium located at 350 N. Wilmot Road (between Speedway and Broadway Blvd.).

November is a time for family and food. This year, though, you could add these two unique events to your calendar too.
In the city many now call "Black Hollywood"- there always seems to be something exciting to do. That said, this November, if you're still looking for something exciting to fill the calendar- grab the fam'.
On November 25th, if you are in love with the culture- Poetry Vs. Hip Hop featuring The Hamiltones (Breakout Background Singers for Anthony Hamilton) is the perfect event for you and your family this season.
Attendees can also expect to see Ashlee Haze, DJ Knodat, Queen Sheba, and Shred TVT. However, all those that arrive to experience the show must be at least 18 years old. Show starts at 9 p.m. and tickets range from $15 to $25.
Then, on November 26th, check out this twist on the classic Nutcracker stage play. The Hip Hop Nutcracker will appear at The Fox Theatre and it sounds like everyone needs a ticket. Though the show will appear in 28 cities, there is only one show in Atlanta. So, be sure to get your tickets.
Both events suggest you can expect nights to remember.

Storage for virtualization: New vendors, new protocols
Virtualization pros can make their lives easier by consolidating their storage vendors and considering Fibre Channel alternatives.
That's according to a recent report from Forrester analyst Andrew Reichman, which indicates more customers are moving toward single-vendor solutions for virtualization storage and exploring alternative storage protocols.
Driven by consistency and simplicity, 67% of respondents said they use a single storage vendor for their virtual infrastructure. Many users fear vendor lock-in for their overall virtualization technology, but Reichman's report says single-vendor storage can eliminate complexity.
Time for storage to step up
In the survey, Forrester customers identified these top three storage challenges: getting a grip on capacity management, controlling costs and maintaining high performance.
Branching out to new protocols could help customers answer these challenges. Fibre Channel remains the top choice — 76% of respondents use it — but 37% said they use NFS, an increase from 18% two years ago. The reasons? Ease of use and cost savings, which Forrester expects will bring NFS into the forefront over the next several years.
Better orchestration between servers, storage and the network will also help increase efficiency, but users must increase their virtualization storage capabilities, the report said.

The Book of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir published in 2018.
"Esther Ann Hicks—Essie—is the youngest child on Six for Hicks, a reality television phenomenon. She's grown up in the spotlight, both idolized and despised for her family's fire-and-brimstone brand of faith. When Essie's mother, Celia, discovers that Essie is pregnant, she arranges an emergency meeting with the show's producers: Do they sneak Essie out of the country for an abortion? Do they pass the child off as Celia's? Or do they try to arrange a marriage—and a ratings-blockbuster wedding? Meanwhile, Essie is quietly pairing herself up with Roarke Richards, a senior at her school with a secret of his own to protect. As the newly formed couple attempt to sell their fabricated love story to the media—through exclusive interviews with an infamously conservative reporter named Liberty Bell—Essie finds she has questions of her own: What was the real reason for her older sister leaving home? Who can she trust with the truth about her family? And how much is she willing to sacrifice to win her own freedom?"
The Book of Essie is like a crossover between the Kardashian's and Little House on the Prairie, and I loved every second of it.
Six for Hicks is a reality show which follows the die-hard religious lifestyle of the Hicks family. All is well in paradise until Essie, the youngest of the many children, gets pregnant. Her overbearing mother and the producers of the show weigh their options to avoid a media disaster: should she put the baby up for adoption? Try and pass it as her mothers' child? Abortion? Marry Essie off before the kid is born? The last option is deemed the best, so they begin to search for a suitable husband for seventeen-year-old Essie. Roarke Richards is chosen and given a significant amount of money for going along with the very publicized sham wedding. The book is written in the altering perspectives of Essie, Roarke and Liberty, who is a struggling reporter with a dark history of her own. As the story unfolds we learn that all three of our main characters have secrets that they're not willing to bring to the light just yet. Also, the most pressing question for us readers is: how did Essie get pregnant?
This was such a quick and easy read, I finished it faster than most books I've read. It was fast-paced yet I didn't feel like the story was racing by at a speed I couldn't handle. This is the type of book that jumps right into the main plot, which I appreciate very much (not a big fan of novels that dawdle with a pointless backstory for a hundred pages). In fact, the first few lines throw us right in the deep end by saying,
"On the day I turn seventeen, there is a meeting to decide whether I should have the baby or if sneaking me to a clinic for an abortion is worth the PR risk. I am not invited, which is just as well since my being there might imply that I have some choice in the matter and I know that I have none."
The tone for the rest of the book is set in these two simple lines. Beyond these sentences, the book does not waste time getting down to the action involving the marriage. The only thing that wasn't addressed right away was the reasoning behind Essie's pregnancy, and this builds some terrific suspense for when it is revealed.
I really enjoyed most of the presence of the character, and even if I didn't like them personally, I could appreciate them from a literary point of view. Essie's mother Celia, for example, while unlikeable, was placed in the story for a specific reason and Weir wrote her well into that role. Another aspect I especially liked was the relationship between Essie and Roarke. They had a comfortable chemistry build on the foundation that they both had secrets they're desperate to hide, but even more desperate to share with someone else to alleviate the weight on their shoulders. Their relationship was like a breath of fresh air in the midst of a traumatic atmosphere and the friendship they end up creating in enviable for any young person.
I think Weir handled some touché subjects with ease, such as rape, incest, child molestation, and homophobia. In excess, these topics can grow to be unbearable to read about, but here the author sprinkled in little nuggets of hope and human decency that gave me the motivation to read on. It was realistic and yet also theatrical, given the nature of Essie's life.
The Book of Essie gave an insightful look into the often-time hypocritical world of staunch evangelicals, especially those that advertise their picture perfect lifestyles. How deep down, it's just a hoax to judge people that don't fit your personal ideals. While this was portrayed well, I wish there was more detail surrounding the phenomenon that is reality television. For example, why was the American public so fixated on watching the Hicks' every move? And do they really believe that everything they're seeing is reality? These would be interesting questions to explore, especially in the age of the Kardashians and Jersey Shore, so the fact that these ideas were only hinted upon slightly disappointed me.
There will be spoilers in the next paragraph, so read on with caution.
The ending was satisfying and concise. It was a happy finale for our protagonists which warmed my heart after rooting for them for so long, and all loose ends were tied together quite nicely. The only thing that was missing for me was the aftermath of Essie telling the public she was raped. As we saw in the novel Beartown (and frankly, as we see all the time in real life), there are repercussions for women who come forward about rape. This impact on Essie wasn't really discussed, at least not in-depth. Since Essie has such a unique outlook on the world, I would have loved to have seen this experience from her perspective.
The Book of Essie was a cleverly written coming of age book with likeable characters and emotional topics. I had the honour of following Esther Hicks on a one in a million journey through a life that she didn't necessarily wish for, but made the best of when it came her way. I think most young girls should aspire to be like Essie (maybe not the pregnancy part, but definitely everything else in between).

Cathedral Choir
Carlisle Cathedral Choir
Carlisle Cathedral Choir dates back at least as far as the new foundation of the Cathedral in 1541. The Cathedral Statutes of 1545 provided for six choristers, 'boys of tender age, and with sonorous voices and apt at chanting'. Today, over four and a half centuries later, the choir includes up to sixteen boy choristers, the same number of girl choristers, six regular lay clerks with additional choral scholars and deputy lay clerks.
Until 1935 the choristers were educated at the Cathedral's own choir school; today the children are recruited from local day schools, and each set of choristers attends the Cathedral on alternate Sundays and on two weeknights in rotation. The boys sing on Tuesdays and Fridays after school, the girls on Mondays and Thursdays. On special occasions such as Christmas and Easter the boys and girls sing together, but for the majority of the time they work independently of each other.
In recent years the choir has given performances in Latvia, Portugal, France, Hungary, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Poland and the USA. The choir has broadcast Choral Evensong on BBC Radio 3 and made four CDs. Ten years ago Nicholas Brown won the coveted title BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year and in 2008 Andrew Johnston came third in the Final of Britain's Got Talent on ITV.
How to Join
Boys and girls are eligible to join the Cathedral Choir as probationers once they reach Year 4 (younger children are encouraged to join Carlisle Cantate). They are selected by an audition which can take place at any mutually convenient time. No previous musical training is required; all that is looked for is a good ear and a love of singing. A child's reading ability is also taken into consideration. To arrange an audition please contact the Director of Music, Mark Duthie.
Please visit our chorister audition page for further details.
Joining the Cathedral Choir
Life as a Cathedral chorister can be challenging, rewarding and exciting – all at the same time! While offering a first-rate musical education, it also teaches some of the most important lessons for life, such as self-discipline and working together as a team.
Among the material benefits on offer are:
- Annual bursary paid to the parents
- Monthly pocket money paid to the choristers
- Extra money for weddings, concerts and broadcasts
- Grants towards instrumental lessons
- Free individual singing lessons with a professional teacher
- Foreign tours
- Free refreshments after school
Lay Clerks
The duties consist of two Sunday Services and four weekday Evensongs (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday), with a rehearsal 40 minutes before each service. The treble line alternates between girls and boys. Wednesdays and Saturdays are normally free.
Stipends etc:
The annual stipend (£4,600) is reviewed in January each year. There are also fees for certain additional services, including weddings, funerals and broadcasts.
In-service Training:
There is provision for each Lay Clerk to receive one free singing lesson per term with a teacher approved by the Master of the Music.
The choir is normally free during school half terms and holidays with an additional week after Christmas and Easter to compensate for the 'run-up' to these major festivals. There are thus sixteen weeks holiday in the year.
A completed application form should be sent to the Music Department Administrator, Cathedral Office, 7 The Abbey, Carlisle CA3 8TZ email@example.com.

UBFPM Paradigm Labs
November 9, 2013
tags: ubfpm
I'm in the market for new ideas for a paradigm lab for the unbalanced forces unit, so I turned to twitter, and as usual, the awesome physics teachers of the twitter sphere did not disappoint.
I've put all of the responses in the storify post below. I'm thinking I will probably stick with carts and springs for one more year, but I'm also seriously thinking about just opening up the experiment to have students design their own experiments.
N2L Paradigm Labs
@occam98 I do a qualitative introduction with carts, books, and spring scales. Then we use a sim for quantitative data.
@fnoschese That's pretty much what we do w/o the sim. I'm just wondering if there's something that produces better data.
@occam98 @fnoschese I get really good data with loose springs (1 N/m) using them to pull heavy (1 kg) carts. I'll find my data.
@rutherfordcasey @fnoschese that's what we have. I can get good data. The kids can get ok data, and it tends to take a while.
@rutherfordcasey @fnoschese long ago, we used fan carts, which was ok.
@occam98 @rutherfordcasey @fnoschese We do the half-Atwood. Good data. Half do a vs. m; half, a vs. Fnet. Need to discuss procedure 1st.
@gcschmit @occam98 @fnoschese Here's a summary I wrote, I think kids got good data too. I felt mod atw too complex t.co/spCpvU8nGR
@gcschmit @occam98 @rutherfordcasey Once the kids have a qualitative feel for it, do the kids HAVE to collect actual data themselves?
@gcschmit @occam98 @rutherfordcasey Isn't it more about the analysis, then? Use a sim, or give them data you collected ahead of time.
@fnoschese @occam98 @rutherfordcasey Not to understand N2L. However, our N2L lab is a good stepping stone to CFPM lab with 3 indep. vars.
@fnoschese @occam98 @rutherfordcasey Depends on emphasis of N2L or experimental design.
@fnoschese @gcschmit @occam98 My bias, but prob wrong, is that kids buy it more with quantitative results.
@gcschmit @occam98 @rutherfordcasey A sim would be just fine for experimental design.
@fnoschese @occam98 @rutherfordcasey Absolutely; good point. We just skipped the friction lab to avoid misleading data.
@fnoschese @occam98 @rutherfordcasey Thinking I should have found a sim instead of doing an interactive demonstration.
@fnoschese btw, thanks for the bristle brush analogy for friction. Very effective this year. (@occam98 @rutherfordcasey)
@occam98 @rutherfordcasey @fnoschese I set up ramp, have ss measure Fgincline w/spg scale then release cart. (1/2)
@occam98 @rutherfordcasey @fnoschese Use motion detect to plot v/t to find a. Graph F vs a. Slope is m. (2/2)
@occam98 Check out the N2Law lab from @VernierST in this doc. t.co/Fd4XrrZe9P You can do it with wired F and a probes too.
@occam98 @VernierST Agreed. Takes a 3 period lab down to one. @ChasDeremer used it as the paradigm lab in our summer workshop.
@occam98 air track, mass tied to cart . 2 photo gates, measure a. 1) change mass (5 trials) 2) change weight of cart (5 trials). Graph,
@occam98 I use modified Atwood machine with a motion detector.

Lilo & Stich: A Shaggy Alien Tale
"Lilo & Stich" (2002), directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois from their own script and Sander's idea, is a bright spot among the Walt Disney Feature Animation movies of the early 2000s. "Lilo & Stich" is unlike any Disney movie from the 1990s, almost of all of which were musicals, and "Lilo & Stich" did not appear to have an agenda like so many of the Disney movies released after 2000 ("Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and "Tangled," for instance, were crafted in an almost desperate attempt to release a Disney movie attractive to boys).
|Fun times!
As a mark of its success, "Lilo & Stich" spawned a stream of sequels and television series. It is a relatively rare Disney movie in that it takes place in the present day, like "The Rescuers," The Rescuers Down Under," "Oliver & Company" and "101 Dalmations," and it was a "small" picture without high-profile voice stars.
In many ways it is reminiscent of "Dumbo," also set in the present day and made on the cheap. The idea was an old one of Sanders from the 1980s that never had caught on, and setting it in Hawaii was a first for any animation film.
|Dr. Jumba Jookiba
On a planet far away from earth, Dr. Jumba Jookiba (David Ogden Stiers) has been doing illegal research and manufacturing. He is put on trial by the Galactic Federation for one of his creations, Experiment 626 (Chris Sanders), a small creature that has many unique and dangerous qualities. Jookiba's Experiment 626 is virtually indestructible, so it is sent into exile on a barren asteroid. Captain Gantu (Kevin Michael Richardson) is charged with taking Experiment 626 there, but the creature escapes on the way and disables Gantu's ship.
|Nani and Lilo
Experiment 626 then steals a police cruiser and, surrounded, activates the cruiser's hyperdrive to a random set of coordinates. The cruiser arrives at planet Earth and lands on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, where Experiment 626 disembarks and, disoriented, is promptly hit by a truck. Experiment 626 then is taken to an animal shelter and assumed to be an Earth dog.
|Spacecraft from the Galactic Federation
Nani Pelekai (Tia Carrere) is an orphaned Hawaiian girl looking after her younger sister, Lilo (Daveigh Chase). Cobra Bubbles (Ving Rhames), a social worker, watches over Nani in case Nani cannot take adequate care of Lilo & he has to put Lilo into foster care, an idea completely rejected by Nani. Lilo is teased at school and prays to be given a friend, so Nani decides that giving her a dog might make her happy. At the shelter, Lilo takes a liking to Experiment 626 despite the fact that Experiment 626 is very aggressive and does not act like other dogs.
|Lilo decides that Stich needs to be more like Elvis
Lilo names Experiment 626 "Stich" and shows Stich Hawaii. Stich quickly learns that Hawaii is an island and becomes depressed because his molecules are too dense for him to swim, making escape impossible. He also finds out to his dismay that Jumba and Agent Pleakley (Kevin McDonald) are now on Earth to try to recapture him.
|Stich wasn't expecting a truck after zooming across the galaxy
Nani takes Lilo & Stich on job interviews, and Lilo takes various measures to tame Stich, including holding up Elvis Presley to him as a role model and reading him "The Ugly Duckling." Stich at times has to act aggressively in order to evade Jumba and Pleakley, frustrating Nani's attempts to get a job, and while Lilo tells Nani that Stich can talk, Nani doesn't believe her. David (Jason Scott Lee), a friend of Nani's, tries to cheer Nani up by inviting the family to go surfing. While Nani, Lilo & Stich are riding a wave, Jumba tries to grab Stich from underwater, causing Stich to appear to try to drown Lilo. Cobra sees the incident from shore and tells Nani that enough is enough, he is going to return in the morning to put Lilo in foster care. Stich, heartbroken, runs away with the "Ugly Duckling" book, which he mistakenly believes is about his family.
|In Lilo's Room
Nani has to leave the next morning for a job interview, so she leaves Lilo at home to wait for Cobra. Stich, hiding in the nearby woods, has a confrontation with Jumba in which Stich learns his true nature. A chase ensues, with Jumba firing at Stich and Lilo calling Cobra for help. Nani and Cobra arrive to see that Jumba has destroyed the house.
|Nani, Lilo & Stich surfing
Lilo then runs off into the forest and finds Stich, who tells Lilo the truth about himself. Captain Gantu then captures them and puts them into his spaceship, which Nani witnesses, but Stich manages to escape before the ship takes off. Nani, now realizing that Lilo was telling the truth about Stich talking, demands an explanation. Jumba and Pleakley then show up to grab Stich, and tell Nani that they can retrieve Lilo for her, but Stich beats them to it by using Jumba's ship and dropping a gas tanker into a volcano. With Lilo, Stich and Nani reunited, the Grand Councilwoman (Zoe Caldwell) who sentenced Jumba originally arrives to take care of Stich personally. Once she sees that Lilo loves Stich and that Stich has learned to talk, the Councilwoman creates legal justification for leaving Stich in exile (along with failures Jumba and Pleakley) on Earth under the care of Lilo & Nani, with Cobra (who turns out to know the Councilwoman from Roswell, New Mexico) to watch over them all.
|Lilo cleaning Stich
Sanders completely took over the creation of "Lilo & Stich," a tactic which was somewhat in vogue then with Brad Bird and "The Iron Giant." The team isolated itself from Disney management, which didn't know much about what the "Lilo & "Stich" team was doing until "Lilo & Stich" went into full production. Sanders had various sketches of the character Stich from the 1980s, and that is what the "Lilo & Stich" animators worked from, not the usual Disney movie archetypes. It isn't dramatically difficult to come up with some off-the-wall science fiction tale involving cute Disney-type characters - what is difficult is getting Disney to give you carte blanche to wheel your wacky little tale into full production with barely any review along the way. Sanders deserves all the credit in the world for achieving that, and Disney completely lucked out that the public bought the concept at the box office (unlike Warner Bros. with Brad Bird's "The Iron Giant," which disappointed at the box office).
|An example of the watercolor backgrounds
The animation of "Lilo & Stich" has a special, almost dream-like quality because Sanders and DeBlois used watercolor background paintings, something that hadn't been done since the '40 for cost reasons. That is just another indication of how little control Disney was exercising over its projects (and how little cost-cutting mattered) at that time after a decade of huge animation hits. Nothing wrong with that, but it could lead to problems, as with the troubled "The Emperor's New Groove."
|The three leads
The soundtrack of "Lilo & Stich" is loaded with Elvis Presley hits and Hawaiian-themed tunes and did respectably on the charts, about as well as Alan Menken's soundtrack for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," for example. The Hawaiian theme resonates throughout this Disney movie, as both Tia Carerre and Jason Scott Lee are from Hawaii and contributed to making the dialogue locally authentic. The Hawaiian concept of "Ohana" (which essentially means brotherhood) is emphasized, with the concept being stretched a bit but enhancing the feel-good nature of "Lilo & Stich."
|Daveigh Chase and her Lilo character
It is impossible to argue with success, and "Lilo & Stich" succeeded beyond anyone's expectation. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature but lost the Academy Award to Studio Ghibli's "Spirited Away." From a budget estimated at $80 million, "Lilo & Stich" returned $273 million worldwide, making it a huge hit and justifying every bit of the confidence that Disney placed in Sanders and DeBlois. After milking the success of "Lilo & Stich" for five years, Sanders and DeBlois ultimately left Disney for DreamWorks and came up with "How to Train Your Dragon," showing that "Lilo & Stich" was no fluke and they truly are one of great current directing teams.
|The DVD, with the usual amazing Disney artwork
"Lilo & Stich" is a terrific little Disney movie with an eccentric edge, and the television series, sequels and other spin-offs (including a Japanese tv series) are loads of fun. The names "Lilo" and "Stich" entered the lexicon with this Disney movie, and Chris Sanders must smile whenever he hears Lindsay Lohan's media nickname, "Lilo," it is like free advertising. The two-disc "Big Wave Edition" first released in 2009 includes lots of extra features and is the way to go, since there is no Blu-ray release as of this writing. The characters are very sympathetic, and "Lilo & Stich" is not just for little kids, but for big ones as well. "Lilo & Stich" is a great family Disney movie that is very enjoyable if you just sit back and don't think about it too much.
The fun "Lilo & Stich" trailers that parody "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "The Little Mermaid" and "The Lion King" are in the video below. The Lilo & Stitch 2-Movie Collection is out in a Blu-ray Combo Pack as of June 11, 2013.

Building One Another - Vol. 12, No. 3
Dear Friend,
Years ago I heard a story, whose source I do not know, of a fellow who drove a school bus. He said, "When I stopped the bus to pick up a little boy for preschool, I noticed an older woman hugging him as he left the house. 'Is that your grandmother, Bill?'" I asked.
"Yes," Bill said. "She's come to visit us for Christmas." "How nice," I said. "Where does she live?" "She lives at the airport," Chris replied. "Whenever we want her, we just go out there and get her!"
I love that because that is how many of us have experienced our grandparents.
At the same time, it amazes me how we tend to live as if the Lord who loves us "lives at the airport" – at the church – in our Bibles – and whenever we want him, we just go and get him.
"Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there." Psalm 139:7-8*
The Lord who loves us is so near to us that we speak of Christ living in us. It's hard to get closer than that!
As you go about your day, know that while our Lord is "everywhere," he is also "here," right where you are and with you wherever you go.
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

First Prayers
Building One Another - Vol. 12, No. 2
Dear Friend,
When I hear people speak of various individuals in our government with whom they disagree, hoping they don't do well, that they don't succeed, I always think of Paul's admonition to pray, "for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity." I Timothy 2:2*
Over the years I have voted for many presidents and many others standing for office. Sometimes they have won their elections, sometimes not. Sometimes I have agreed with their policies. Sometimes I have not. Yet always my "supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings" are for them.
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity." I Timothy 2:1-2
Paul urges prayers for everyone, but only specifies one group in particular, and surprisingly that group is not our family, our church, or our own selves (although such prayers are clearly a part of praying "for everyone.") He says, "for kings and for all who are in high positions." His reasoning is clear! "So that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity."
Our joy, our security, our well-being as a people depends on them. As we inaugurate the President of the United States, as a new Congress meets, as the Supreme Court rules, may all of our prayers be for their well-being, their wisdom, and their work. May they do well.

Walk by Faith
Building One Another - Vol. 12, No. 1
Dear Friend,
This morning I enjoyed a conversation that was delightful. It warmed my spirit and left me feeling good. Directly afterwards I read an email that was completely annoying!
Life is full of such moments in which we hardly know what we are feeling, although I have to admit the bummer email tended to overshadow the upbeat conversation.
The concept of spirituality in our day is increasingly linked to the emotional, to the visceral, to what we are feeling. In the upbeat moment we may "feel" God's presence and we enjoy an experiential sense of God's love. In the downbeat moment we may "sense" God's presence standing with us in our suffering, although some of us may have the opposite reaction and "feel" God's absence.
We are feeling creatures, something our Lord understands very well. The Apostle Paul offered a wonderful word to us whose emotions can move up and down every other second. He puts it simply, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." II Corinthians 5:7* True spirituality is based on our faith in the Lord who loves us and not on the moment by moment circumstances of our lives.
I love that! Our relationship with God comes out of trust, of faith, of relying on Jesus!
"Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes [trusts, entrusts, relies on] has eternal life. I am the bread of life." John 6:47-48
So we rely upon our Lord and whether we feel his presence or not, we know God actually is with us, loving us and indwelling us. It's a great word for a New Year!
"That is why whoever accepts and trusts the Son gets in on everything, life complete and forever!" John 3:36
