Finding the right therapist for our distinct personalities and unique circumstances can be tricky. There are those therapy "horror stories" of therapists answering phone calls in the middle of a session simply to chat with the person on the other end and counselors falling asleep in the middle of their patients sharing an emotional story. These instances might sound a bit extreme and to be sure, they are. The majority of people going to therapy won't have a dramatic experience like these, but maybe something much more subtle. Many people will simply have a vague, undefined, general feeling that "therapy just didn't work for them", or that "talking didn't fix them." They won't have concrete examples, or tangible stories to point to in order to realize whether their therapy was successful or not.
When thinking about therapy and finding the best therapist for you, personality matters. If you don't like your therapist as a person, or you get a feeling they don't quite "get you," I'd be surprised if you end up having a successful therapy experience. So much of the work depends on the relationship between the therapist and patient. If there is a conflict of personality then the work can be difficult for both patient and therapist.
This makes me think of a first session I had with a therapist; I felt so frustrated during the entire session. It was like a horrible first date when you know in the first 5 minutes there's not going to be a second date. You just endure it. At the end of the session when it was time to schedule for the next week, I simply said, "I don't think this is going to work." She seemed surprise by my response and asked me why. I explained that I didn't think she liked me much and that I wasn't sure that I liked her either—our personalities were like oil and water.
What she said surprised me even more, "you're right."
There was of course a moment of sting, but I was grateful she knew herself well enough and what needed to be in place for a good therapist-client relationship to occur that she let me go.
There are many really great therapists that will be a good fit for you; you just need to do the work of finding them. But have you ever looked for a therapist on Psychology Today's website, or through your insurance company's database? It can feel like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. It's difficult to know who will be best at working with your particular experience, pain and issues. Part of that is simply because of the format of the search engines. They don't allow space for details or a description of skills, trainings, or specialties. Many therapists are afraid of getting stuck in too much of a niche, so they promote themselves with an all things to all people kind of mentality. Some therapists go the other way. They don't want to turn away work and, afraid that if they don't mark on their profile that they work with depression a person might pass them up, they list everything under the sun. Throughout my life I've mostly had incredible experiences in therapy, but even I, as a trained therapist, feel overwhelmed by the experience of looking for a counselor.
I have very special places in my heart for those therapists who have walked with me through particularly difficult times in my life. I will never forget having a therapist while in graduate school who only charged me $35 a session because that was all I could afford as a student. I still think about our time together and remember many of the key elements that were so impactful to me. Yet even while this is true, I think if I had had a therapist that truly understood the particularities that are involved for someone who is Christian but who is struggling to figure out their sexual orientation, I could have shaved years off of the therapy I needed and pain I went through. I'm not saying it wasn't good therapy, or even that I didn't heal and change from time spent with this therapist, or other therapists who have journeyed with me along the way. What I am saying, understanding what I understand now, in the journey of being an LGBTQ Christian, is that it would have been a huge deal if my therapists had had a keen understanding of the specific process for an LGBTQ Christian. I'm not saying they themselves needed to be queer, just that I'm not sure those that walked with me really understood the depth my faith played into my pain and self rejection. Because of this, with new patients I too try and make sure I'd be the best fit for them and if not, refer them on.
One of the things I will ask a new client is if they have any questions for me. The majority of them are thrown off by this question. Hey you're the therapist, aren't you supposed to be the one who asks the questions? They assume they aren't the expert on themselves, but I believe they very much are. It's okay when they don't know what to ask, but I'm going to let you in on some important topics to cover in that first conversation you have with a potential therapist.
First off, call more than one. I know it's nerve racking to pick up the phone and actually make that call, but talking to at a few counselors will give you a feel for what a good fit might feel like instead of simply a good therapist. When you make these calls here are 4 questions to ask the therapist.
"Have you worked with patients with similar issues to mine before?"
It's not that a therapist needs to be an expert on all things in order to help people, but it can be super beneficial to the process if the therapist has worked with others before you who have experienced similar pain, confusion, life stories etc.
"What kinds of journeys have you seen others go on who have had similar issues to the ones I am describing?"
Does the therapist have a grasp of the issues specific to you? Does the therapist seem to understand simple language you use, or concepts you talk about? Let the therapist talk you through what they've seen in working with others.
"Do you have hope for me?"
I love this question so much because, as therapists, we need to have so much hope for our patients. It can be incredibly powerful if a therapist can offer you a specific hope for where you are.
"What are your thoughts on termination; ending therapy? What will you say if I want to end therapy before you think I should?"
It is so important to remember that this therapy is for you! If at any point you don't think its helpful, feel like you don't need it anymore, or feel that you've reached a state of health that was your goal, then trust yourself and end your sessions. I've heard of therapists who try and convince their patients that ending "early" will harm them. This is not true and you need to end when you feel ready. Find a therapist who lets you be the expert on when you end therapy.
Calling a therapist and asking questions is anxiety provoking. I'm a therapist and have been in therapy myself and even I feel the nerves during that first phone conversation! I've experienced the question of wondering if this therapist is going to be a good fit for me for me and only having a vague feeling of "Well… maybe?"
While the above questions are important to explore, there's something even deeper to tap into than the answers the therapist gives. It's also something you can be aware of and connected to if you don't feel comfortable asking specific questions.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
Maya does it again, she took all the years of her life lessons, relationships with people from all over the world, her wisdom and heart and boiled it all down to one sentence that is as profound as it is simple. At the end of the day, people can say all kinds of eloquent things, spout off statistics, or name impressive people they've known, but what is most important is how that person made you feel when you were with them. Did the spirit of who they were, how they interacted with you, what they asked you feel connected to you? Did you feel them "with you" in the conversation, or were they distracted? Could you feel their good intention towards you and did you get the feeling they really got you? How did it feel to be with them; did you feel like you could be yourself?
In all of these questions, the best judge of whether they will be a good fit for you is to trust your gut! If they answered all your questions in super impressive ways, but you felt belittled, or confused at the end of the conversation, then trust your gut! There's a good reason you had those feelings. Move on and call someone else; don't waste your time, heart or money. If you weren't sure if they answered your questions as good as you had hoped, but you truly felt seen and could feel their heart for you, then trust your gut. Sounds like a good place to start.
Therapy has been one of the single most life changing things I've ever done. There is so much potential for beauty and healing and is so worth risking the nerves of calling someone in order to get the life you've always dreamed of and becoming the person you know yourself to be deep down inside. There is so much hope for you! This image below feels to me what therapy should be. There are times in our life when we need someone to help build us a safe nest to rest and heal, except sometimes its too scary and painful to be in there alone. As a therapist, I count it a privilege to join you in that space and know and believe there will come a time, not too far off, where you will be ready to leave that safety nest. On that day, I will celebrate with you as you leave towards beauty and freedom.

Brain aneurysmPrevention
You can't always prevent brain aneurysms, but you can lower your risk by not smoking and reducing high blood pressure.
A brain aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel in your brain. It can be very serious if it bursts.
Brain aneurysms are usually treated with surgery if they have burst or there's a risk they will burst.
It's not clear what causes brain aneurysms. You're more likely to get them if you smoke, have high blood pressure or have family members with them.
Symptoms of a brain aneurysm can include headaches or changes in your vision. If it bursts, it can cause a sudden and very severe headache.

NASHVILE, Tenn., Dec. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. and Canadian researchers identified a biomarker that predicts which prostate cancer patients are likely to have their cancer recur or spread.
Co-investigators Andries Zijlstra, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and John Lewis, an associate professor at the University of Alberta, said some prostate cancer spreads slowly and does not lead to serious symptoms, while in other patients the cancer metastasizes to other parts of the body and is fatal. Cancer researchers have been searching for biomarkers that indicate which patients should be treated aggressively and which patients can be followed through active surveillance, or watchful waiting.
Zijlstra and colleagues investigated the protein CD151 that facilitates the migration of cancer cells. In prostate cancer cell lines, they discovered that CD151 is free from its normal adhesion partner -- integrin -- another protein that allows a cell to stick to the surrounding tissue. This form of CD151 called "CD151free" proved to be functionally important in cancer.
"It was a big surprise that some of this CD151 protein was now free of that partner and it turns out that it only occurs when a cancer is formed," Zijlstra said in a statement. "What's so novel about this discovery is we're not talking about changing protein expression, which is what we traditionally see. We're talking about a protein that changes its molecular state and detection of that molecular state is an indication of disease progression."
In collaboration with Lewis and colleagues in Alberta, the group looked at tissue samples from 137 patients treated for prostate cancer in Canada over the past 12 years.
The team determined that if patients tested positive for CD151free their cancer recurred and spread earlier than patients without any detectable CD151free.
"Patients who tested positive for the biomarker developed metastasis an average of 10 years earlier than those who tested negative," Lewis said.
The findings were published online ahead of the print edition of Cancer Research.

NFL Week Three Review
Following the excitement of the early scheduled games on Sunday, the NFL saw some great finishes to the later scheduled games as well.
The best finish of the day saw the Minnesota Vikings win on the arm of Brett Favre and the hands of wide receiver Greg Lewis, who made an outstanding grab of Favre's pass in the back of the end zone with two seconds remaining to beat the San Francisco 49ers, 27-24 in Minneapolis. Included in the Vikings win was a 101-yard kickoff return for touchdown by Vikes' rookie Percy Harvin.
Another exciting finish saw the Pittsburgh Steelers defense collapse late for the second consecutive week as the resurgent Cincinnati Bengals stormed back from a 13-point deficit to knock off the defending Super Bowl champions, 23-20 in Cincinnati.
Quarterback Carson Palmer threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Andre Caldwell with 14 seconds left to win the game, Cincinnati's first home win over Pittsburgh since 2001.
The Chicago Bears rallied behind Jay Cutler, who threw two TD passes, including the game-winner to Devin Hester as the Bears overcame an early deficit to beat the Seattle Seahawks, 25-19 in Seattle.
The New York teams both continued to roll as the Giants rolled past Tampa Bay, 24-0 behind a great defensive effort that saw Tampa Bay gain just 86 yards in total offense. The Jets, behind rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez (rushing TD and one passing TD) stormed ahead 14-0 against Tennessee, fell behind by three points in the third quarter, then rallied to win the game 24-17 to run their record to 3-0 for the season.
The Baltimore Ravens dominated the Cleveland Browns, 34-3 behind quarterback Joe Flacco, who had 342 yards passing and running back Willis McGahee, who scored two touchdowns and has six in the first three games to lead the league... The Denver Broncos ran their early season record to 3-0 by beating the Oakland Raiders, 23-3 as their defense continued to dominate the opponents. Denver has allowed just 16 points through the first three games this season.
But it won't get easy for Denver, as they face a killer schedule over the next 12 weeks (check it out) so their early success is crucial as they battle San Diego in the AFC West.
Speaking of San Diego, the Chargers knocked off the Miami Dolphins (0-3) without LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) and Shawne Merriman (groin), 23-13 as Philip Rivers scored a rushing touchdown and safety Eric Weddle returned an interception 31 yards for another score to lead the way.
The Dolphins lost quarterback Chad Pennington to a shoulder injury in the third quarter, and early reports are that Pennington may be out for the remainder of the season with the injury, which may require surgery.
New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees came back to earth in Week Three as he did not throw a TD pass, but the Saints won anyway at Buffalo, 27-7 behind Pierre Thomas' two scoring runs and 126 yards rushing for the day... In the loss, the Bills' wide receiver Terrell Owens failed to catch a pass for the first time in 185 games... The Eagles and Packers both rolled to easy wins against two of the worst teams in the NFL. Green Bay beat St. Louis 36-17 as Aaron Rodgers threw two TD passes while Eagles' backup quarterback Kevin Kolb passed for 327 yards and two TDs, including a 64-yard strike to DeSean Jackson in a 34-14 pounding of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Detroit Lions finally put it together and won a game as they held off the Washington Redskins, 19-14 at Ford Field in Detroit for their first win since December 23, 2007... and finally the Indianapolis Colts are 3-0 after dismantling the defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals, 31-10 in the Sunday night game in the desert. Peyton Manning threw four touchdown passes and the Colts defense forced two turnovers in the red zone to ensure the victory.

Say what you will football fans about Brett Favre and his waffling about retirement but the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings made an incredible play that led the Vikings to a thrilling 27-24 comeback win over the upstart San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Minneapolis.
The veteran quarterback threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Greg Lewis with two seconds remaining to win the game. Lewis made a great catch at the back of the end zone and stayed inbounds for the winning grab.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions finally won a game for the first time since the end of the 2007 season, ending a 19-game losing streak against the Washington Redskins.
The Lions won 19-14 at Ford Field in Detroit as rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford, the top draft pick, earned his first win as an NFL quarterback.
In other early game action, the New York Jets held off the Tennessee Titans 24-17 to go to 3-0 in the young season. The Jets defense came up big in the fourth quarter, intercepting Titans QB Kerry Collins and then completing the deal by not allowing a pass completion in the final 13 attempts by Collins.
The New York Giants steamrolled Tampa Bay 24-0 as their defense dominated in the rain in Florida... Tom Brady and the New England Patriots methodically beat the visiting Atlanta Falcons, 26-10 behind a stellar defense that limited the high-flying Falcons offense to nothing in the second half.
The Green Bay Packers struggled for a while, but eventually pulled away from the St. Louis Rams (probably the worst team in the NFL now that Detroit has won a game) on the road to win 36-17... The Baltimore Ravens continue to live up to their early season billing as Super Bowl contenders by crushing the hapless Cleveland Browns 34-3 in Baltimore... Kevin Kolb led the Philadelphia Eagles at quarterback as they rolled 34-14 at home against Kansas City. The game featured Michael Vick in action for the first time in three years ... Houston dropped another game at home as they fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-24. The win was the first of the season for the Jags as QB David Garrard led the way along with Maurice Jones-Drew, who rushed for three TDs, including a 61-yard romp to get Jacksonville rolling.

NFL - Week Three Previews
The third week of the NFL season will feature some key games, including the Atlanta Falcons playing at New England while the Tennessee Titans travel to New York to face the undefeated Jets, fresh off their victory over the Patriots last Sunday in the Meadowlands.
The Minnesota Vikings (2-0) host the San Francisco 49ers (2-0) in a battle of unbeatens and the Chicago Bears, who surprised the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-14 last weekend in Chicago, face the Seattle Seahawks, who may be without starting quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who suffered a rib injury in last week's loss to San Francisco.
In the AFC, some key battles include the Pittsburgh Steelers going to Cincinnati to face the resurgent Bengals. The San Diego Chargers host the Miami Dolphins, who lost a bizarre battle last week against Indianapolis, 27-23 in Miami on Monday Night Football.
Just three weeks into the 2009 NFL season and the Power Rankings are being touted by ESPN and the many other sports blogs around the country.
College football ranks their top teams, not the professional teams. That is why they have eight divisions and a playoff system and of course, the Super Bowl, to determine the true championship team at season's end.
All this silliness that is called "power rankings" is just ego on the part of the sportswriters and broadcasters to fill space and air times.
With that being stated, here goes for the third week of the NFL season.
By the way, we went 7-9 last week in what was definitely an "upset" Sunday around the league.
Home teams are listed in BOLD letters...
Chicago over Seattle
Tennessee over NY Jets
Green Bay over St. Louis
Pittsburgh over Cincinnati
Oakland over Denver
San Diego over Miami
Minnesota over San Francisco
Detroit over Washington
Philadelphia over Kansas City
New England over Atlanta
Baltimore over Cleveland
New Orleans over Buffalo
Houston over Jacksonville
NY Giants over Tampa Bay
Arizona over Indianapolis
Dallas over Carolina
Last week's record: 7-9
Season Record: 19-13
Notable Injuries- LaDainian Tomlinson (RB, San Diego Chargers); Donovan McNabb (QB, Philadelphia Eagles); Matt Hasselbeck (QB, Seattle Seahawks); Marion Barber III (RB, Dallas Cowboys); Troy Polamalu (S, Pittsburgh Steelers)

NFL Football - Week Two Review
Just two games into the 2009 NFL Football season and we now already know that the New England Patriots, despite the presence of quarterback Tom Brady, will not go undefeated during this regular season as they did in 2007.
The New York Jets, complete with a bandwagon getting heavier by the second, knocked off "Tom Terrific" and the Pats, 16-9 on Sunday to go to 2-0 and first place in the AFC East. The Jets held New England out of the end zone (first time Brady & Co. didn't score a touchdown since 2006) and erased any doubts as to whether or not the Brady-led Patriots are beatable.
How about the Chicago Bears knocking off the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-14 at Soldier Field?
Bears' QB Jay Cutler led two fourth quarter drives that allowed the Bears to tie the game 14-14 and then the winning drive in the final minutes that set up kicker Robby Gould's game-winning 44-yard field goal.
Speaking of great finishes, how about the Baltimore Ravens holding the San Diego Chargers furious comeback in the final three minutes as All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis stuffed Chargers' running back Darren Sproles on fourth-and-two from the Ravens 15-yard line in the final 30 seconds of the game to save the day.
San Diego QB Philip Rivers had a career day against the vaunted Ravens' defense, throwing for 436 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 31-26 loss to Baltimore, which had a pair of scoring runs from Willis McGahee and two touchdown passes from Joe Flacco.
The key to the Ravens win was the fact that the Chargers kicked four field goals, including two when they were inside the Ravens two-yard line.
Can anyone stop the New Orleans Saints high powered offense?
The Saints went into Philadelphia and absolutely pasted the highly-touted Eagles defense Sunday afternoon while winning 48-22. The Saints have scored 93 points in the first two games, which is the most in professional football since the Oakland Raiders scored 95 in the first two games of the 1968 AFL season.
Other games saw Cincinnati surprise the Green Bay Packers 31-24 at Lambeau Field that included a "Lambeau leap" by Chad Ochocinco after he caught a touchdown pass from QB Carson Palmer.
The New York Giants rallied past the Dallas Cowboys 33-31 as Dallas QB Tony Romo was intercepted three times by the Giants defense. New York kicker Lawrence Tynes kicked the game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired. Giants QB Eli Manning passed for 330 yards and threw two TD passes in the win.
The following night, Eli's older brother Peyton led the Indianapolis Colts from behind in the closing minutes at Miami as the Colts beat the Dolphins 27-23 on Monday Night Football.
A strange game indeed as Miami had the ball for over 44 minutes and ran for 250 yards in the loss to the Colts.
Notes & Stats ... The Manning brothers (Eli and Peyton) staged comeback wins for their teams in the closing minutes in consecutive nights... The Lions lost their 19th consecutive regular season game against Minnesota 27-13 Sunday after jumping ahead 10-0 in the first quarter... New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (pictured upper right) passed for 311 yards and three touchdowns against Philadelphia, giving him nine TD passes in the first two weeks... The Oakland Raiders were outgained 409-166 in total yardage by Kansas City, yet still managed to beat the host Chiefs, 13-10... The Denver Broncos lead the AFC West with a 2-0 mark after beating Cleveland 27-6... Tennessee, the team with the NFL's best record in 2008, is 0-2 after blowing an early 21-7 lead at home against the Houston Texans before eventually losing the game 34-31... Chargers' running back LaDainian Tomlinson missed his first regular season game start in Sunday's loss to Baltimore as backup Darren Sproles had 270 all-purpose yards, including an 81-yard TD pass from QB Philip Rivers... San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore had 207 yards on 16 carries, including TD runs of 79 and 80 yards in the win... Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson (pictured upper left) rushed for 197 yards on 16 carries and scored on long runs of 57 and 91 yards and also caught a 69-yard TD pass from QB Kerry Collins... and Vikings quarterback Brett Favre started his 271st consecutive game, eclipsing former Viking and Hall-of-Famer Jim Marshall's long standing record of 270 consecutive NFL starts.

I'm happy to announce the release of The Chicago Center for Literature and Photography's (CCLaP's) catalog.
This year, the indie press will publish a very ambitious book-a-month, ending the year with my novel, a book I've been working on (and off, and back on again) for over twelve years. I'm still shocked—thunderstruck, rather—to know it'll be in readers' hands by the end of the year. And the publisher has some very flattering things to say about it, which I hope you'll find by checking the catalog.
In the meantime, check out the rest of CCLaP's titles. It's humbling to be on a list with these people, all of whom I admire, some of whom I've read with before: Ben Tanzer, Karl Wolff, Matt Fuchs, Steven Garbas, Matt Rowan, Joseph G. Peterson, Daniel Falatko, Leland Cheuk, Douglas Light, Mike Sauve, Kendra Hadnott and Michael Strelow. Also in the mix is the anthology of "City All-Stars," young writers working in Chicago these days.
Also, have a look at the extraordinary cover art. Take this example:
Now, what's my book actually about? The novel's titled THE FUGUE. It's a family epic that spans several generations and takes readers from Western Ukraine and Lithuania to a poetically treated Cicero, Illinois of the 2nd half of the 20th century. The main character is a metals sculptor—most would probably call him an outside artist—convicted of murdering his parents. The book begins with his release from prison, and the novel's narrative then travels through various strands of memory, some reaching way back into the years of WWII.
Anyone who liked Finding the Moon in Sugar will be very interested in the novel. I will be working very hard to promote it, and I hope I can have your support.

On last night's "Daily Show", Jon Stewart presented guest Mike Huckabee with a commercial that he had voiced during the Presidential campaign.
The ad begins with the image of flames set against a dark, cavernous, dystopian background. The voice begins: "This November, some Christian voters..."
We see that there is a worker submerged in the darkness, laboring with a hammer, and then dipping a forge into the flames.
The voiceover continues "...will be put to the test". The ad then quick cuts to a hand checking a ballot. The voiceover continues:
"Some issues...are not negotiable". The words "not negotiable" then appear against the darkness in bold, golden type.
The voiceover: "The right to life from conception to natural death." Life and death are rendered in the same bold golden type.
The cavern-trapped, flame-licked, darkness immersed dystopian worker now dips the word "marriage" into the flames, as the voice intones:
"Marriage should be reinforced."
Then, there is a close cut that fills the screen entirely with flames.
We see the word "marriage" being consumed by those flames as the voiceover adds: "Not redefined."
The word "freedom" is then dipped by the laborer into the fire that burns in the darkness. The words are spoken and appear on the screen: "It is an egregious violation of our cherished principle of religious liberty for the government to force the choice to buy the kind of insurance that leads to the taking of innocent human life."
The words "violations", "religious liberty" and "human life" are bolded in golden hue. The word "choice" is dimmed--so it can barely be seen.
Quick cut to a woman, in worried thought, walking through the curtain of a voting booth. Voiceover: "Your vote will affect the future..."
And quick hard cut to a menacing picture of the laborer, facing forward, the flames burning beside him, set against the cavernous darkness.
Accompanying voiceover to this image: "And be recorded in eternity".
Voiceover: "This is Mike Huckabee asking you to join me and vote November 6th for values that will stand the test of fire."
Stewart, viewing this choice of images and phrases, reasonably queried whether Huckabee was implying that those who cast a vote against Mitt Romney--their vote having been so recorded "in eternity"--would go to Hell.
Huckabee replied that the ad was meant to reference the text of Corinthians 10, and the idea expressed therein that your vote would be tested be fire.
Aside from the perhaps unusual specificity of theological scholarship that Huckabee was bringing to the discussion, Stewart, in his sharp, incisive questioning, missed one question.
For those watching the ad during the campaign, and who just happened to not be familiar with the specific text of Corinthians 10--for that large swath of Americans who are not textual Biblical scholars--perhaps the images and ideas--lapping flames, dark cavern, man laboring against the increasingly approaching fires, "your vote will be recorded for eternity"--might lead them to a more threatening, emotionally and electorally powerful inference about their fate, should they vote for Obama?
Don't you think that, for that majority of viewers, the flame-devouring, darkness-enclosing, eternal labors were meant to be understood in "eternal", directional, flames-lapping-at-your-body, consequential terms, rather than in terms of the strict text? Most people don't know the text of Corinthians 10, Mike!
Why would you expect them to?
Perhaps...he didn't.
Of course--the creative team could have directly cited Corinthians 10, to remove all possible confusion that they were stating that Obama voters would be spend an eternity in Hell.
I wonder why they did not.

A very distressing experience for a NSW man with Down syndrome and his family was reported on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday, as an example of the risks of telephone triage of emergency ambulance calls. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Geoff Chesworth's family - the grief of his untimely death is exacerbated by their experience in trying to get emergency help.
Two letters to the editor commenting on the circumstances were published today.
These two articles by the SMH's Health Editor, Julie Robotham, published in yesterday's and today's editions are about the telephone triage process that might put people with intellectual disabilities at particular risk, and the investigations promised.

Earlier this fall, I wrote a post called "Body Love in the Face of an Illness or Feeling Unwell." As usual, you all contributed some wonderful comments, and as usual, it has taken me a little time to digest them. One of the comments that most got me thinking was Amber's. She said,
I almost feel like the latest "thing" is for people to insist that you HAVE to love and embrace your body, inside and out, at all times. That can make those of us who are uncomfortable feel even more frustrated and depressed, like there's something wrong with us for not being able to look in the mirror and grin and claim to love everything we see. Thanks for handling this issue with sensitivity and grace.
I agreed with Amber, and rejoined that a more appropriate term for what I mean is "body appreciation," "body respect," or "body gratitude." Though I do sincerely love my body—and you'll see what I mean by that in a moment—I don't relate to "body love" as it is portrayed in the media. The love I feel toward my body is a far more nuanced and complex emotion than the enthusiastic, grinning, jump-for-joy sentiment that one might see portrayed in a women's magazine (probably with a picture of some lithe woman in a bikini nearby).
It's almost always the case that one insightful comment on my blog will make me think of another insightful comment, and to the themes that we so often return to in this space. Amber's remark about the problematic simplicity of "body love" memes got me thinking about a comment that my friend Kathleen once left on CR (on my "Fitspiration" post). She asked me,
Your description of the value you see in your body is one of the most beautiful I've ever read. A bit off topic, but I'm curious: While you were in recovery, did you ever think you'd get to a place where you would actually celebrate your body or was that something that came long after? Was it something you "worked on" or was it inherent to fully recovering? (Apologies if that is too personal.)
Not too personal at all. But as I was thinking about how to respond, it occurred to me that my own way of celebrating my body doesn't quite match up with the pop culture standard, which seems to suggest that body appreciation resides in loving what you see in the mirror every morning, always feeling thrilled to slip into a bathing suit or a little black dress, and feeling downright proud of every curve. To be frank, my body love, such as it is, is just a lot more complicated than that. I've been in recovery for many years now, and am immensely proud of my redefined relationship with food, my enthusiasm for eating, and my respect for my own physical needs. I am also proud of the way I've come to accept and appreciate my own shape, but the process is not always simple, and it certainly doesn't mean waking up every morning, staring in the mirror, and loving what I see.
The love I feel toward my body is real love, which is to say that it's complex, sometimes uneven, and sometimes stormy. As with any loving relationship—with lovers, family members, or friends—there are ups and downs, good days and bad, sentiments that I regret or feel guilty for feeling. There are also days of gratitude, joy, excitement, and admiration. There are disappointments and frustrations and breakthroughs in communication. But the most important thing to say is that the love I feel for my body makes me generous. They say true love is about being able to put someone else's needs above one's own. For me, body love means that I prioritize my body's best interests when my mind would have me do otherwise—when it would have me deprive my body for the sake of appeasing its own obsessive tendencies. When I'm tempted to be selfish and hold back, I give—usually in the form of nourishing food, mindful movement, and the experience of pleasure—instead.
I realize that I'm creating a schism here between my body and my mind, and perhaps that's not a very healthy way to look at things. But the truth is that eating disorders are just that—a war between the body's needs and the mind's desire to quash them. And I've had much more personal success imagining my relationship with my body as a relationship between two loving entities—mind and body—than I have with any other kind of metaphorical construct. Many days go by without me feeling as though there's any interference between body and mind, but sometimes there is, and when there is, I like to frame that interference as the tension that resides in any loving relationship.
I think it's hugely important that we all learn to imagine our bodies not as commodities, but as entities with needs of their own, who deserve respect, compassion, and love. I don't love my body the way I love a new shirt or the way I "like" something on Facebook. It's not something that pleases or displeases me in a pat, yes or no, pretty or not pretty, sort of way. My body is a living, breathing being, and it is far too complex to be merely "likeable." It is loveable, and it is beautiful. I don't always find it superficially pleasing, and given my history, I don't always expect to. But that's not really the point.
When I was at the height of my disorder, my biggest fear was that my body would "change" on me. I'd eat a few extra calories or skip a workout, and suddenly my body would morph into a giant, unruly monster. Even more distressing was the idea that, by no act of my own doing, my body would change anyway. Name one thing that might cause the body to evolve or fluctuate, and I dreaded it: menstruation, pregnancy, aging. I wanted my body to behave, to remain trim and eternally pleasing. It did not occur to me that I was treating my body, which is by definition an ever-changing, living entity, like a static object: a statue, a cutout from a magazine, a paper doll.
Today, I've come to terms with the fact that my body is alive, and life means movement . My body's shape will change with time, and so will its needs, tastes, preferences. I can't strap it into a pants size and tell it to stay there forever, and I can't force it to abide by some restrictive and crazy-making dietary protocol indefinitely. I've been forced to accept the fact that my body, like any other living entity, has evolving needs. Don't they always say that if you love someone, you must give them space in which to grow?
The relationship I'm describing—good days, bad days, but fundamental appreciation and respect—is probably pretty close to "normal." When I was recovering, I had the very false idea in my head that there are two kinds of people: people who have eating disorders, and people who LOVE their bodies. You're either doomed to hate your shape and do all you can to destroy it, or you're the sort of person who eats whatever she wants, slips into revealing clothes confidently, and never harbors a self-loathing thought. I was flabbergasted one day when my mother—who has a fantastic relationship with her body—told me, "well, everyone has days where they don't like their body. That's normal." It really hadn't occurred to me that it is. My mom's remark put recovery in a whole new context for me. Being recovered doesn't mean loving your body every minute of every day. It means struggling to love it sometimes, but not allowing that struggle to turn into a war.
These days, I know how to end the struggle in peaceful reconciliation. This doesn't mean that I don't sometimes catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror and feel the old, familiar sense of disapproval and panic, or that I don't irrationally fear weight gain, or that I never put on my jeans with a sense of unease. I feel all of those things, sometimes. But I don't turn those feelings into "self-mutilation," to use a phrase that one of my yoga teachers employs to describe our battles against the self. Instead, I take a few moments to feel sympathy and compassion for my body—the body that has withstood my many attempts to injure it, and bounced back with so much resilience; the body that seems to have forgiven me. Being forgiving and generous with it in return is the least I can do. This ongoing process may not match up perfectly with editorialized slogans about "body love," but it's enormous progress for me. And from where I stand, it feels very loving indeed.
As always, I'm curious to hear how you all see things. What does body love suggest to you? How do you encourage a loving relationship with your body in your own lives?

Production Company

Transport ban for director of Birmingham builders' merchants
Published: 05 June, 2017
The director of a Birmingham builders' merchants, who "took no interest in vehicle and driver safety standards", has been banned from operating HGVs for three years.
Nick Denton, the Traffic Commissioner for the West Midlands, said BS & NK Panesar deserved to go out of business after it operated seriously unroadworthy vehicles and failed to instil the necessary culture of safety into its drivers.
Director Balbinder Panesar has been disqualified by the region's industry regulator, and his firm lost its licence to operate vehicles on 29 May 2017.
Mr Panesar "clearly did not care enough about safety to establish and oversee a system which would have prevented his vehicles from being driven in such a poor condition," the Traffic Commissioner concluded in a written decision.
He continued: "The result was a company culture where vehicle and driver safety was simply ignored. Road safety and fair competition against other operators who take the trouble and expense to comply has been jeopardised."
At a public inquiry on 11 May 2017, Mr Denton heard evidence from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, following their investigations into the company's vehicle and driver standards.

Brayton Esq
Dear Sir
I received yours of the 26 ult, last Saturday night, on Monday. I was compelled to leave home at an early hour & did not return until Tuesday, & could not, sooner, examine the subject [written of?] in your letter.
I have, however now, examined the case and find that the contract, between Castro & John Willson was executed on the 5th of August 1852. In which Willson agreed to prosecute the claim of Castro to the Solmente Ranch before the Land commission & to obtain a [confirmation?] if possible. And in consideration of such professional services, Castro agreed to convey to Willson 1/10 of the Ranch. Whenever Willson should require a conveyance this contract was Recorded. At the time this contract was made the statute did not authorize it to be Recorded. No provision had been made for Recording that kind of contract and therefore the Record did not impart notice of its existence to other persons. The contract however was good between the parties and could be enforced, but persons who had no notice of its existence could not be prejudiced by it. Subsequent purchasers of the land

She spent time in and out of jail for forgery, theft, trespassing, and possession of narcotics. But after she landed in prison for the seventh time, something changed -- Bianca knew she wanted a better life. She just didn't know how to make it happen.
After serving her time, Bianca sought help from a local homeless organization, A Safe Haven, and moved to its shelter in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Bianca followed the program closely -- she attended all the required meetings, passed drug tests, and volunteered at every opportunity.

A wood fern is a type of fern in the Dryopteris family that grows in temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere. There are more than 150 known species of Dryopteris ferns, and many are native to the United States, Europe and China. Dryopteris ferns are also called wood ferns, male ferns, shield ferns or buckler ferns. Many species of fern are considered wood ferns, but these species have many things in common, such as the shape of their fronds or growing environment. The wood fern is commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant and is popular in a hanging pot or as a house plant because the wood fern flourishes in low light. Wood ferns generally prefer moist soil and can tolerate low temperatures.
While different species vary in size, frond shape and hardiness, most wood ferns have a similar appearance. Green fronds can grow anywhere from 2 feet (about 65 cm) up to 5 feet (about 1.5 m). The leaves grow along the frond stems, wider at the base of the frond and narrowing as they reach the tip of the frond to create a blade-shaped frond. Most wood fern leaves have serrated edges, though they can vary in size and color depending on the species.
Wood ferns naturally grow on the forest floor, where the soil is rich with decomposing plant matter and the plant is shaded by tall trees. Dryopteris ferns are native to temperate forests where the air is humid and cool. When cultivating dryopteris ferns, the gardener should try to match the native environment of the plant so that it can flourish. In the case of wood ferns, this means planting in rich, moist soil in a shady spot with high humidity. Some species of wood fern can tolerate drought better than others, so the gardener should always research fern species before buying.
As a houseplant, the wood fern should be planted in soil that has a high peat moss content. Keep potted ferns in indirect light. Ferns like moisture but can suffer from root rot or other problems if overwatered. Make sure ferns are planted in pots with sufficient drainage so the soil stays damp but not wet. Ferns can be watered daily if the soil drains well enough. If the humidity surrounding the plant drops, ferns can be misted once a week but shouldn't be misted too often because mold can grow on the delicate fronds.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Thursday, July 16Rimshot Thursday II.
(NOTE: While authorities continue to search for the recently-missing Ryan J. Zeinert, the CDP will be publishing previously unreleased and 'lost' content from his vast archives in his absence. The following contest was found on a flash drive Mr. Zeinert had left behind; it also contained an unfinished piece of Transformers fan fiction, poorly-constructed plans for a chess-playing robot and a half-eaten slice of cheese pizza, which makes little-to-no sense whatsoever.)
Today is Rimshot Thursday, which means that I'd like you to come up with as many punchlines as possible for the following line and post them in the comments section:
"Man, I haven't seen this many crying teenagers since…"
Here are a few to get you started:
"...the ugly Jonas Brother got engaged."
"...Joe Jackson put a band together."
"...I got removed from the Sex Offender registry."
Have fun, be creative and enjoy your day.

(The last-known, unfathomably fruity photograph of Zeinert.)
EXCLUSIVE! Missing Author Possibly Caught On Camera.
Beloved author and blogger Ryan J. Zeinert, missing and presumed uncomfortable since July 5, may have been photographed by a local hiker/alcoholic.
Benjamin Jenkel, an outdoor enthusiast and amateur whiskey connoisseur, took the following vivid snapshot while on a hike of the area where Zeinert is presumed to be hiding out and/or crying softly.
"I was reaching for my flask when I saw this…thing emerge from the brush," recalls Jenkel. "I just grabbed my camera and started shooting."
"The stench was unbearable," he added. "He literally smelled like [excrement]."
Jenkel then rocked back and forth on his heels for eight seconds, before vomiting and passing out in the parking lot of the 'Wok-N-Roll' restaurant where he was interviewed.
Zeinert has not been seen or heard from publicly since July 4, when he suffered an anxiety attack and ran into the nature preserve that surrounds his Sun Prairie estate. If this photo is indeed of him, it would offer a relative amount of comfort to his wife, family and legions of dedicated fans who have been praying for his safe return.
One such fan, known only as 'Sherry,' has kept a candlelight vigil on her porch every night since Zeinert's June 27th 'colossal freak-out.' When asked to comment, Sherrry apologized for the confusion, stating that "the candlelight just kept the Junebugs away."
She added, "Who the [expletive] is Ryan Zeinert?"
We will have more information as this story develops. The CDP continues to run archival and 'lost' essays in his absence.

Bartenders and liquor store clerks around the state have a strong incentive to ask young-looking customers for ID: the risk that those patrons may not only be underage but also be working undercover for the Illinois Liquor Control Commission.
These days, however, that risk is low. Liquor commission sting operations are among the latest casualties of Illinois' nearly five-month budget standoff, with only 38 this past August — the most recent month for which figures are available — compared with 208 in August 2014.
Liquor commission spokesman Terry Horstman said the stings will ramp back up once funding is approved.
Statewide sting operations, run by Illinois' 15 liquor control agents in conjunction with state and local police, began about 10 years ago, Horstman said. Bars, restaurants or liquor stores that sell alcohol to undercover workers can be fined or have liquor licenses suspended or revoked.
Over the past five years, as sting operations increased from 825 in 2009 to 3,669 in 2014, the percentage of liquor license holders cited dropped from 20 percent to 16 percent.
"When you catch somebody it sends a message and when you don't catch somebody it still sends a message that somebody's watching them," said Sam Canzoneri, Illinois executive director of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who took part in stings as a Lake Bluff police officer. "It's another set of eyes and ears."
Lake Bluff police team up with officers from neighboring Lake Forest to conduct stings. But many towns rely on the state. In Berwyn and Oak Lawn, for example, all alcohol stings are done in collaboration with the state liquor commission. The Oak Park police occasionally conduct stings on their own in response to a complaint, but usually collaborate with the commission.
Limited resources is only one of the difficulties local authorities face in policing bars and liquor stores.
"It would be hard for any of us to go in the store (undercover) and stand watch," said Suzanne Bogart, police chief in Colona (population 5,100), near the Quad Cities. "Everyone knows who we are." The state cited two of Colona's nine liquor license holders in May.
Illinois State Police also conduct some sting operations on their own. In 2014, the state police did 1,196 checks — on their own and in cooperation with the liquor commission — a spokesman said.
Illinois has gone without a budget since July 1 as a result of a deep partisan divide in Springfield. That means the state can't pay young adults to participate in stings, liquor commission officials said.
Horstman said the commission is exploring the possibility of using volunteers.
Though the stings cost money, the program also brings in revenue. Hearings in October, for example, brought in $8,000 in fines. That money goes into the state's general fund, Horstman said.
More permanent changes may also be in the works at the state liquor commission. The Tribune has reported that Gov. Bruce Rauner is considering shifting resources away from the local level, where state agents handle duties such as inspecting bars and liquor stores. That would allow the state to clamp down harder on trade violations that alcohol distributors have long complained about, such as merchants bringing alcohol into the state without paying taxes. The proposed changes, however, would not affect sting operations.
During the 2014-15 school year, liquor control agents visited college towns, including Champaign, Urbana, Carbondale and Evanston, as well as the Bloomington-Normal area.
In June, commission stings caught stores, bars and restaurants in Naperville, Oak Park, West Chicago, Orland Park, Markham, Hoffman Estates and Gurnee selling alcohol to students under the age of 21 who were working undercover, records show. Those operations caught the attention of at least one owner.
"We are doing new precautions," said Raj Bhatnagar, owner of Qwik Convenience in Naperville, which was cited in June. "We put in a system where every time we scan a liquor bottle or beer or anything, it asks for ID and you have to enter the date of birth."

Eastern margin of Kennicott Glacier
About the collection
Cornell professor Ralph Stockman Tarr (1864-1912) and his students and collaborators organized several expeditions to glaciated areas in Greenland and Alaska. We are in the process of digitizing approximately 2,000 photographs from these expeditions. Because glaciers are a dynamic landform, especially given current climate change, it is interesting to compare these historic photographs with more recent ones to document their changes over time.

Audio Driver Update
I am running Windows 7 on a machine with a GigaByte GA-MA790XT-UD4P mobo with onboard Hi Definition Audio. I dl'd the most recent driver from RealTek and would like to install it. I pulled up Device Manager and under Sound, Video and Game Controllers it shows ATI High Definition Audio Device and High Definition Audio Device. Is the first one connected to my video card (ATI Radeon 5750 1 Gb)?And do I need to uninstall the High Definition Audi Device to update the driver?

No you wouldnt need to, if the driver is correct for the device it will overwrite.
|My System Specs
|30 Jan 2010
The High Def Audio Device will be your onboard audio without the proper drivers, which if you want to use the onboard audio needs the Realtek driver. It will work enough in that you will get sound using the default HD driver, but it will be limited and have very limited control options.

Thanx Stormy, it installed just fine, I like having the equalizer that comes with the RealTek driver.
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2010
You're welcome.
That is the one advantage of installing the actual Realtek driver over the one that comes with the ATI video driver. The one that comes with the ATI driver is just the base audio driver, no extra control panel.

Ft. Wayne, IN
Ft. Wayne, IN
Patty and her husband Tom have been happily married for 34 years and are blessed with three amazing children: Kip, Karlyn and Kelsie and two great son-in-laws Mike and Brandon. In the last three years they were given the greatest gift for parents, two adorable grand children Thomas and Addison. Patty and Tom are parishioners at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton of Fort Wayne, In. She has been involved with CRHP, Eucharistic ministry, RCIA, and bible study. All of these activities have helped her grow in her faith. However, after a trip to Rome for the Beatification of Mother Teresa, she realized she wanted to share her catholic faith. Patty is a Registered Nurse at the Allergy and Asthma Center since 1977. She was certified as a Nutrition and Wellness Consultant in 2008. In her role as a health care provider, she is able to give to others, but receives much more in return. She experienced many years ago that physical activity and healthy nutrition keep you balanced in life physically and mentally. When hearing about SoulCore and attending a training, it was obvious that this was exactly what she wanted to be a part of. It truly intertwined her physical, mental and spiritual exercise together, in a one hour session. This is definitely a way to share her love of exercise and love of her Catholic faith with others. She has no idea how God or the Blessed Mother are going to use her, but she is willing and ready to begin this new journey in leading SoulCore.
PATTY'S FAVORITE SCRIPTURE VERSE: Phillipians 4: 6-7
I have been married to Frederick for 33 years and with whom I recently went on a grace filled and life changing pilgrimage to Rome! We have 4 wonderful children and 4 grandchildren and all of them have brought more happiness and love than I ever thought possible and grandparenting is truly the ultimate joy and blessing❤
I am a registered nurse and have continually worked since graduating in December 1980. I taught religious ed and apologetics to high school students and then 8th grade confirmation prep for a total of 10 years. My future plans are to hopefully be involved in the home bound ministry and St. Vincent de Paul society.
SoulCore caught my attention 1 year ago when I read about it in "Today's Catholic". Although I have always exercised in one form or another and have prayed the rosary my entire life, I knew this combination was for me. And the fact it can be modified for all ages is perfect for our parish.
Matthew 7: 20-21; Philippians 4:13; Luke 22: 19-20; Matthew 5: 3-10
My husband, Jason, and I are members of St. Vincent's DePaul parish in Fort Wayne and have been married for 18 years. We have been blessed with five children, Isabel, Noah, Lucas, Jonah, and Elijah. I am a physical therapist assistant and have spent most of my career working in outpatient orthopedics. I have always enjoyed staying involved in a variety of fitness activities. As a family we love spending time together outdoors camping, swimming, and watching our children participate in sports.
I was introduced to SoulCore about the same time as one of our parish priests gave a homily about sharing our gifts with others. Soon after this I was able to attend a SoulCore leader retreat. I really felt like this was a wonderful way to incorporate my education in exercise and my desire to grow in my prayer life. I am very excited to share the physical and spiritual experience of SoulCore with my parish, bringing us all closer to the heart of Jesus' mother Mary.
In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 it says: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body."
Galatians 2:19-20, 1Kings 19:11-13, 1 Corinthians 13:1-7, Luke 19:1-10
Ruth and Steve have been married for 20 years. For the past 14 years, with great "fear and trembling", she and her husband have home schooled their family. They are both extremely proud of their 5 children. Ruth studied Theology and English at the University of Notre Dame and was a "walk on" on the swim team there. After college she taught high school religion and became involved in biking and sprint triathlons–when she wasn't pregnant or nursing. She loves to promote "all things Catholic", with a special interest in the Theology of the Body, sanctity of life issues, and the compatibility of faith and science. Her love for the Eucharist, the rosary, and the Blessed Virgin Mary has blossomed through intense personal suffering. She has always found it easy and natural to incorporate prayer into her exercise routine and was ecstatic when she heard about SoulCore.
Romans 12:1, Philippians 4:13, and Psalm 40
