How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Quetiapine belongs to a class of medications known as antipsychotics. It is used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia, manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder, and depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder. It works by affecting the actions of certain chemicals in the brain known as neurotransmitters.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
CO Quetiapine is no longer being manufactured for sale in Canada. For brands that may still be available, search under quetiapine. This article is being kept available for reference purposes only. If you are using this medication, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for information about your treatment options.
How should I use this medication?
The usual recommended starting dose for schizophrenia is 25 mg twice daily. Quetiapine is usually started with a low dose in order to allow the body to get used to it. This dose is increased as tolerated to a target dose of 150 mg twice daily. No more than 400 mg twice daily should be taken as the safety of higher doses has not been established.
For manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder, the recommended starting dose is 50 mg twice daily. This dose is increased every day up to 400 mg twice daily as tolerated. Most people respond to doses between 200 mg and 400 mg twice daily.
For depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder, the recommended starting dose is 50 mg once daily, usually at bedtime. This dose is increased every day up to 300 mg once daily as tolerated.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Quetiapine can be taken with or without food. Do not stop taking this medication or change the time of the day you take it without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit from the medication. If you miss a dose by a few hours, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If most of the day has passed since the missed dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should take this medication.
Anemia: Quetiapine may cause low levels of red blood cells. If you experience symptoms of reduced red blood cell count (anemia) such as shortness of breath, feeling unusually tired or pale skin, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells, including red blood cells, in your blood.
Bleeding: Quetiapine may cause a reduced number of platelets in the blood, which can make it difficult to stop cuts from bleeding. If you notice any signs of bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or black and tarry stools, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will order routine blood tests to make sure potential problems are caught early.
Blood cholesterol: Quetiapine has been associated with increased blood cholesterol levels. If you have elevated blood cholesterol levels, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Blood clots: This medication may increase the chance of blood clot formation, causing reduction of blood flow to organs or the extremities.
If you have a history of clotting you may be at increased risk of experiencing blood clot-related problems such as heart attack, stroke, or clots in the deep veins of your leg. Discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
If you experience symptoms such as sharp pain and swelling in the leg, difficulty breathing, chest pain, blurred vision, or difficulty speaking, contact your doctor immediately.
Cataracts: Changes in the lens of the eye may develop with long-term use of quetiapine. Regular eye exams are recommended before and after treatment with this medication. If you notice any change in your vision, contact your physician as soon as possible.
Diabetes: Like other antipsychotic medications, quetiapine may cause loss of control of blood sugars, making diabetes worse, or causing symptoms of diabetes to appear. If you have diabetes, discuss this link with your doctor. If you have diabetes or are at risk for diabetes (e.g., family history of diabetes, obesity), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Quetiapine may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Avoid operating hazardous machinery (including cars) until you are certain that the medication does not impair your mental alertness, judgment, or physical coordination.
Heart conditions: If you have a heart condition such as angina, heart failure, and irregular heartbeat, or have had a heart attack, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Hormonal changes: In rare instances, quetiapine can cause an increase in a certain hormone called prolactin, and may lead to production of breast milk in women and altered monthly periods. It may also lead to swelling of the breasts in men.
Infection: Quetiapine can reduce the number of cells that fight infection in the body (white blood cells). Tell your doctor immediately if you notice signs of an infection, such as fever or chills, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, prolonged dizziness, headache, stiff neck, weight loss, or listlessness. Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells in your blood.
Kidney problems: If you have kidney problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver function: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Low blood pressure: Quetiapine may cause a lowering of blood pressure when rising from a sitting or lying position, or a racing heart rate, especially during the first few weeks of treatment. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded or feel your pulse is racing, and this feeling does not go away after a few minutes, call your doctor. Because this medication can cause dizziness or lightheadedness, do not get up too quickly after you have been sitting or lying for prolonged periods.
Movement disorders: There is a risk of developing tardive dyskinesia (TD), a condition where repetitive, uncontrollable, and purposeless movements (such as grimacing; tongue protrusion; lip smacking; puckering; rapid eye blinking; rapid movements of the arms, legs, and body trunk). If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): A risk of developing this condition has been associated with antipsychotic medications, including quetiapine. If you experience increased sweating and sensations of warmth, muscle stiffness, emotional and behavioural changes, or irregular heartbeat, contact your doctor immediately. People taking this medication should take care to avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated.
Pancreatitis: Quetiapine can cause the pancreas to become inflamed. If you have a history of pancreatitis, gallstones, alcoholism, or high triglycerides, you may be more at risk of experiencing this. Report signs of pancreatitis such as abdominal pain on the upper left side, back pain, nausea, fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, or swollen abdomen to your doctor immediately.
Seizures: If you have a history of seizures, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Stopping the medication: Stopping this medication suddenly may cause symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, upset stomach, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, and irritability. A gradual reduction in dose over a period of at least 1 or 2 weeks is recommended. If you are thinking of stopping the medication, check with your doctor first.
Suicidal or agitated behaviour: Adults and children taking this medication may feel agitated (restless, anxious, aggressive, emotional, and feeling not like themselves), or they may want to hurt themselves or others. These symptoms may occur within several weeks after starting this medication. If you experience these side effects or notice them in a family member who is taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor will monitor you closely for these side effects while you are taking this medication.
Thyroid changes: Quetiapine is associated with a decrease in thyroid hormone. If you have low thyroid (hypothyroidism), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Pregnancy: The safety of quetiapine use during pregnancy is not known. This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking quetiapine it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children and adolescents: The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established for children under 18 years of age.
Seniors: There may be a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks, infections (e.g., pneumonia) and deaths associated with the use of antipsychotic medications by seniors. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication. If you notice the following signs and symptoms, get medical attention immediately:
- signs of a stroke: sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms or legs (often on one side of the body); speech problems; vision problems; balance problems or dizziness; confusion; sudden severe headache with no known cause
- signs of a heart attack: discomfort or pain in the chest, back, neck, jaw, arms, or stomach; sweating; shortness of breath; nausea; lightheadedness; feeling of impending doom.

The square shaped box is made of paper-mache which is processed to be very durable and to have a smooth surface (versus "wrinkly" surface). The flower stems of the decoration and borders are painted in genuine liquid bronze, which makes the colors more vivid. This was the last touch that's added to the box before covering it with several layers of lacquer for protection.

Rescheduled trick-or-treat times: 2013

-------------- Original story from Oct. 30, 2013 ----------------------
The Halloween scares in some communities aren't coming from ghosts and goblins but from brewing storms.
"Weather was not looking good for Halloween. For safety concerns, we elected to coordinate the event and move it to Friday," Rising Sun Administrator Bryce Kendrick said.
In the community of about 1,200 people, Kendrick said the change wasn't a major problem.
"It's a relatively small, tight-knit group and word travels fast when you make changes like that," Kendrick said.
Lawrenceburg, Greendale and other Indiana communities followed suit and also moved their trick or treating days to Friday.
Greendale Treasurer Joey Lynch said lots of people wanted to see them make the move.
"(We had the) phone ringing and people coming in," Lynch said.
In Ohio, many communities made the switch to Friday night too.
But some parents thought there was no need to change the festivities.
"I don't think we've ever had a problem with the weather before. I think people can adjust to it and we usually don't have any problems. I think it's kind of odd they would have cancelled it now," Batavia dad David Baker said.

国产偷拍视频The BS-Biology degree with a Pre-Pharmacy Concentration at Emmanuel College is designed to allow the student to meet the various admissions requirements of many Doctor of Pharmacy programs while working toward the completion of a bachelor's degree with a Christian liberal arts core. Most Doctor of Pharmacy programs require the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) as part of the application, for which students will need to study and prepare to afford the best chance of entrance into the program of their choice. Because admissions requirements vary greatly between the School of Pharmacy programs, the student will need to carefully review the requirements of the particular Doctor of Pharmacy program(s) of interest to ensure successful completion of that school's admissions requirements.

El Buzón de los Reyes Magos
Really thrilled to have found this incredible website dedicated to Los Reyes. Based out of Spain, El Buzón de los Reyes Magos is in Spanish only. The site is a visual feast for both children and adults.
There is a section dedicated to the history of Los Reyes that parents and children can visit together. Your child can also watch two fantastic animated videos and explore the Kings' palace or learn about Mechor, Baltasar, and Gaspar individually.
There is also a section just for parents, where they can create letters from the Reyes year-round and send them to their children whenever they need a little reminder to behave themselves!
Be prepared, though, for some differences. Having researched Los Reyes for a good while now, I've discovered that their individual stories are not consistent. Sometimes Gaspar is the one from Asia, sometimes it is one of the others. In one version, Melchor may be recognized by his flaming red hair...but not in another! So if you have already taught one version about the Reyes to your children, you may prefer to preview the site first in case it doesn't match your family's own traditional story.
Ibi has also created a free app by the same name. It mainly focuses on allowing your child to create their own letter to Los Reyes. But you can also watch the videos on your iPad.

A Cross a Day was a "365 project," in which I committed to making one cross each day for an entire year, from 2014-2015. I saw this as an opportunity to experiment with different media and materials on a small, "bite-size" scale. The cross is iconic, full of history and meaning. It's a symbol of faith, reverence, inspiration and hope. Nevertheless, this project was primarily artistic—not religious—in intent and nature.

"Not wanting this moment to be different from the way it is [is when] the deepest and true change happens…Not wanting something that is not here now or wanting something to be different, instead of a deep acceptance of 'what is.' It is as it is…always." -Eckhart Tolle
Sometimes the thing we (think) we want most eludes us. The constant striving to "have it," or the endless frustration from "not having it" is an obstacle to peace. Facing reality–"what is"– and accepting it for this moment in time is incredibly freeing. Looking at "what is" in the cold hard daylight, not as we wish it to be. Even to stop wanting it altogether and exploring what it feels like to give it up for good. Taking a deep breath and saying, "Facts is facts." "So that's the way things are, for this moment in time." My biggest prayer has been for inner peace, but I recently realized I must pray for the ability to accept "what is" at the moment as a prerequisite to that peace.
Peace abides in every mind that quietly accepts the plan God set for it…leave all decisions to His gentle counsel…Say to the Holy Spirit only, "Decide for me," and it is done. For His decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes impossible. -A Course in Miracles
"Let go, or be dragged." -Zen proverb
Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. -Luke 22:42 KJV
Less and less do you need to force things, until finally you arrive at non-action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone. -Tao Te Ching

I saw a friend the other day. She's spent over a year embroiled in the paperwork, legalities and unpleasantness of a divorce. I asked her, "Are you having any fun these days?" She paused for a moment and said, "You know, I have joy." In an instant I knew just what she meant. Joy trumps fun. It's the big Kahuna. It's the big fish that engulfs all the little fish in front of him. Joy feels like a big shiny metallic helium balloon (with a yellow smiley face graphic) that can't contain itself. Joy radiates. It expands out of the chest and can't be controlled…it sweeps down and soars upward and takes the body with it.
I find joy in the unseen, intelligent and loving force that works its magic without my noisy, clumsy input. In acceptance, surrender and gratitude. It takes belief and lots of faith. It's not every day. But those sparkly moments of joy are glorious. With careful observation, I see my prayers take shape through unexpected twists and turns that I did not orchestrate. There's real love and support out there in the universe.
"All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well"
-Julian of Norwich, (c. 1342 – c. 1416), regarded as one of the most important Christian mystics
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." -2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV
"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." -Unknown
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." -Luke 2:10 KJV

The visible reminder of Invisible Light.
O Light Invisible, we praise Thee!
Too bright for mortal vision.
-T.S. Eliot, Choruses from The Rock
"PHOSPHORESCENCE. Now there's a word to lift your hat to… to find that phosphorescence, that light within, that's the genius…"
-Emily Dickinson
I was made for sunny days
I made do with grey, but I didn't stay
I was made for sunny days
And I was made for you
Found a book you gave me
When we were first in bloom
When I thought that you might save me
from the dark side of the moon
Instead we both went walking
through the shadows and the gloom
And we never did stop talking
And you still light up the room
And every day is Sunday
'cause the sun comes dancing down
-The Weepies, I Was Made for Sunny Days
"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."
-Leonard Cohen

Life is full of absurdity. Sometimes there's just no logic, rhyme or reason. Things can seem crazy, even frightening. Better to step back and watch the circus than enter the hall of mirrors. There's peace in simply watching the show.
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"…the observing eye sees simply what is there. The perceiving eye sees more than what is there." -Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle is the Way
"The ego analyzes. The Holy Spirit accepts." -A Course in Miracles
"There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." -Shakespeare
"Not my circus, not my monkeys." -Polish proverb
"Let sleeping dogs lie." (It is nought good a sleepyng hound to wake. -Geoffrey Chaucer, 1374) ("Quieta non movere"/"Do not move settled things." -Latin saying) (He that passes by, and meddles with strife belonging not to him, is like one that takes a dog by the ears. –Proverbs 26:17)

Today, may you find soothing, salve or salvation for your bumps, bruises, whacks, thacks and thumps.
"Little Alice fell
the hOle,
bumped her head
and bruised her soul
-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
"I cannot go to school today"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps…
-Shel Silverstein
"Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: 'The Son, O how unlike the Father!' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.'" -William Blake
"Speak soft and sweet:…try your best to apply the salve of soothing words and timely succor." -Sri Sathya Sai Baba
"Love's best habit is a soothing tongue." -William Shakespeare
Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him. -Psalms 62:1

"And at night I love to listen to the stars. It is like five hundred million little bells …" -Antoine de Saint Exupéry,
The Little Prince
Where there is space, there is possibility, an opening for the universe to enter and work its magic. That's when you hear the transmissions—the calling, the guidance, the singing–of the universe, Spirit or God. Space is found when the clutter of thinking and things and speech is pruned. In space, there is stillness; in stillness, there is space. Spaciousness brings peace. Suspension of time. Like endless slow motion between the drop and its ripple.
Space between my thoughts
Space between the forms I see
Space between the sounds I hear
Space between my words
Space between my breaths
Space between my organs
Space between my cells
Space between my steps
Space between my fingers and toes
Space for Spirit to enter and flow
"Be still, and know that I am God." –Psalm 46:10

Alone and lonely or hungry and hungering. There but for the grace of God go I…
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
Twas grace that taught my
heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
-Hymnal by John Newton, 1779, verse 7 by Anonymous/Unknown, pub.1829

Once-common accounting practices used red ink to show negative amounts, and black ink to show positive amounts. The phrase "in the black" came to represent a positive financial state; specifically, having more assets than liabilities. Gratitude, faith, surrender, love and forgiveness are probably our greatest available assets—perhaps our greatest powers—far outweighing our perceived losses and liabilities.
"Think of what starlight
And lamplight would lack
Diamonds and fireflies
If they couldn't lean against Black. . . ."
-Mary O'Neill, Hailstones and Halibut Bones
And God separated the light from the darkness. -Genesis 1:4 ESV
The journey that we undertake together is the exchange of dark for light…there is no darkness that the light will not dispel. -A Course in Miracles

I like to think of clouds as the "forms within space" that Eckhart Tolle describes. Rather than collections of water drops, I picture them as bunches of thoughts or beliefs. We become enthralled with, attached to, and distracted by the cloud form rather than fixating on the steady blueness of the sky. This is the eternal space that observes the swelling, shrinking and passing forms, but it is not at all the transient form itself. It is a still and constant background space. Switching focus from the foreground (the clouds) to the background (the sky) is an exercise in simply being.
Lucy: Aren't the clouds beautiful? If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud's formations. What do you think you see, Linus?
Linus: Well, those clouds up there look to me look like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean. That cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor. And that group of clouds over there…gives me the impression of the Stoning of Stephen. I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side.
-A Boy Named Charlie Brown
Are you going to lose yourself in the demands of the world, of objects and things that say, "Give me your attention!"? Can you be here as the bringer of space into any situation? -Eckhart Tolle
We are looking to the world of form for salvation. But when we are aware of space consciousness, aware of being aware, we are freed from identification with form, which is ego, and there arises within us a sense of oneness with the whole and with our Source. -Eckhart Tolle
"Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
Polonius: By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed.
Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel.
Polonius: It is backed like a weasel.
Hamlet: Or like a whale?
Polonius: Very like a whale."
-William Shakespeare, Hamlet

…always it's Spring) and everyone's in love and flowers pick themselves -e.e. cummings
In emerald tufts, flowers purple, blue and white;
Like sapphire, pearl, and rich embroidery,
Buckled below fair knighthood's bending knee;
Fairies use flowers for their charactery.
-William Shakespeare
I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dropped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity. -Hazel Lee
I suppose that flowers, when they're through blooming, have some sort of awareness of some purpose having been served. -Kurt Vonnegut
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks. –Tennessee Williams, Camino Real

Even when feeling powerless–helpless, threatened, imprisoned, boxed in, gridlocked, stuck–there remains your hidden power. The power to change your mind or question your beliefs. The power to be thankful for the simplest things, like eyes to see, air to breathe or feet that walk. There's the power to give in, give up, let go, accept, forgive or forget. There's the power to say "NO (or yes)!" There's power to having faith, staying present, sending love or saying a prayer. There's the power of waiting and allowing–of doing nothing at all and letting God take over. External "fixes" sometimes help, but rarely fix–at least not for the long-term. Inside us there's a super power that can't be found "out there."
Dorothy: Oh, will you help me? Can you help me?
Glinda: You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power…
Dorothy: I have?
Scarecrow: Then why didn't you tell her before?
Glinda: Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.
-The Wizard of Oz
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. -2Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. -Seneca

A case for eating your vegetables, heeding herbal remedies and believing in botany. (And yet I'm fairly certain God forgives us our desserts.)
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. -Genesis 1:29, NIV
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. -Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food
A weed is a plant whose virtue is not yet known. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favour compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life." – Thomas Edison

Everybody is built differently–mentally, socially, emotionally, physically and with varying dispositions, likes, dislikes, skills and talents. Just as vocations suit various individuals according to their makeups, so do forms of service to others. One woman's volunteer hours in a soup kitchen is another man's kindness to strangers and another person's writing a check to the needy, without including a return address. Some people build grand businesses that provide abundance and jobs, contribute to the economy and provide needed services and products. Others are great listeners and make everyone who crosses their path feel seen. Some provide inspiration, encouragement and joy through cooking, music, art, or the written/spoken word. Some make us laugh with their comedic bent. Others simply serve their friends and families. I've read something to the effect that, if it weren't for the handful of yogis living in caves simply praying for peace, that this world would be a very dark place. In the end, one size does not fit all. You were gifted with your uniqueness and individual skills and talents to be used for the good of others. Be your best self, and you will serve whom you were assigned to serve.
"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things." -Mother Teresa
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace -1 Peter 4:10 ESV
The greatest service is to realize the essence, or the reality, of the other person. Everything else passes away, everything else is transitory. That recognition of the other as 'God', and as one with who you are, to see that – that is the greatest service you can give… it is the realization of who that person truly is beyond the form. -Eckhart Tolle
"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love…I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples. -Mother Teresa
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve -Mark 10:45 ESV

Did you know that the word "smile" shares the same origin as "smirk (Middle English, from Old English smearcian)?" Both involve an upward turn at the corners of the mouth. The difference? Simply the intent between the two! British researchers found that one smile can provide the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 chocolate bars. (I'm not sure whether that's the result of the sugar, caffeine or the pure pleasure they would supply–insert my own smirk here.) They also found that smiling can be as stimulating as receiving up to $25,000 in cash! No information yet on what a smirk will get you…
Gratitude paints little smiley faces on everything it touches. -Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway
The prospect Smiler was a manic farmer. Few men I think can have been as unfortunate as he; for on the one hand he was a melancholic with a loathing for mankind, on the other, some paralysis had twisted his mouth into a permanent and radiant smile. So everyone he met, being warmed by his smile, would shout him a happy greeting. -Laurie Lee, Cider With Rosie
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. -Thích Nhất Hạnh
If you smile when you are alone, then you really mean it. -Andy Rooney
Smile wide to receive many smiles in return. But if you want a good laugh, smirk like a wicked, little imp and watch the range of expressions you're flashed. – Richelle E. Goodrich
For a moment at least, be a smile on someone else's face. -Dejan Stojanovic, The Sun Watches the Sun

There are moments of genius and there are lives of genius, when the voice of the Spirit is more urgent than the noise of the outside world. The purity and intensity of that Spirit reveals itself where there is a surrendered space or an open channel, and then moves through, unimpeded, with such pressing clarity that it can't be ignored or traded for worldly wisdom. The greatest scientific innovations, literary works, works of art and pieces of music are all acts of the Spirit through gracious, and, more times than not, unsuspecting human hosts.
Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe—a Spirit vastly superior to that of man. -Albert Einstein
…he is a man of genius who finds out a vein of new ore (a type of rock from which valuable elements that can be extracted)…Nature is deep, obscure, and infinite…only the minds on whom she makes her fullest impressions can penetrate her shrine or unveil her Holy of Holies. It is only those whom she has filled with her spirit that have the boldness or the power to reveal her mysteries to others. -William Hazlitt
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. -Steve Jobs
Coffee is good for talent, but genius wants prayer. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Have you been half asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name;
Is this the sweet sound
That called the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
-Lyrics to the Rainbow Connection, by Williams/ascher
There is a God part in you. The consciousness. The pure Self. Learn to listen the voice of that Power. -Amit Ray, Nonviolence: The Transforming Power

My vision of utter humility is a stone buddha: still, unmovable, assailed by the searing sun, pelting rains, icy snow, contracting cold, bird droppings and all other manner of indignities. His outer color transforms and is marred by stains and drippings. Pieces chip away and cracks form. And yet he endures, half smiling, eyes closed, inwardly turned. Humility: acceptance, surrender, endurance, faith. Without objection, judgment or complaint. Ouch. The word "humility" derives from the Latin word humilis, which means "'low or lowly," which in turn comes from the word humus, meaning "ground or earth." (This is not to be confused with "hummus"–into which we dip our chips and chopped carrots–which derives from the Arabic word for word chickpeas!)
Never curse a fall. The ground is where humility lives. -Yasmin Mogahed
Life is a long lesson in humility. -J.M. Barrie, The Little Minister
…it's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear. -Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's
Humility means accepting reality with no attempt to outsmart it. -David Richo, The Five Things We Cannot Change
Here is the path to the higher life: down, lower down! Just as water always seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless. -Andrew Murray, Humility
It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day's journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed. -Herodotus, Histories (8.98) (trans. A.D. Godley, 1924)

Soften me
Smooth my spiny surface
Soothe my sharp edges
Calm my prickly sheath
Make me more gentle
More tolerant
Less judging
More accepting
Less defensive
More surrendered
Heal my angry rash
and my rash anger
Forgive me my jabs, stabs, pricks and pokes
Send me a kind cactus wren
And an occasional bright bloom
But we know very well that this natural universe is neither prickles nor goo exclusively: it's gooey prickles and prickly goo [and] we're always playing with the two. –Alan Watts
You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off. -Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
And lest I should be exalted above measure…there was given to me a thorn in the flesh. -2 Corinthians 12:7 (KJV)
You pour out rain in buckets, O God; thorn and cactus become an oasis. -Psalm: 68:9 (MSG)
the eye of the I

One of my favorite books is entitled "The Eye of the I: From Which Nothing is Hidden," written by Dr. David R. Hawkins. It's not the easiest read. Ironically, it is Eckhart Tolle who best describes the concept of that title in one of his books. About an experience that was to change his life, Tolle describes the following:
"Life seemed meaningless, barren, hostile. It became so unbearable that suddenly the thought came into my mind, "I cannot live with myself any longer." The thought kept repeating itself several times. Suddenly, I stepped back from the thought, and looked at it, as it were, and I became aware of the strangeness of that thought: "If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me – the I [the eye] and the self [the I] that I cannot live with." And the question arose, "Who is the 'I' and who is the self that I cannot live with?"
Both Hawkins and Tolle address the idea that our personality–our "constructed self," is a temporary earthly role that can be observed from another perspective: that of our true eye, the eternal spirit self. The "I" represents our ego self of this lifetime, and all the thoughts, interpretations, perceptions, emotions and judgments that come with it. The "eye" behind the "I," our spirit, simply observes from the background, without judgment or reaction. Shifting our focus from the "I" to the "eye" whenever possible can help lessen the sting of life events, bringing more peace, acceptance and clarity.
I [eye] am the one who sees. From back in here somewhere, I [eye] look out, and I [eye] am aware of the events, thoughts and emotions that pass before me. To attain true inner freedom, you must be able to objectively watch your problems instead of being lost in them…-Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul
…the observing eye see simply what is there. The perceiving eye [the "I"] sees more than what is there. Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle is the Way
The ego [the "I"] analyzes, the Holy Spirit [the eye] accepts. -A Course in Miracles
What a liberation to realize that the "voice in my head" is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that. -Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
The ego [the "I"], or more accurately, the belief that one is the ego [the "I"], obscures the Realization of the Reality of the Self as the Oneness of All That is. The dissolution of the ego [the "I"] results in liberation from the bondage of the illusions that create suffering. -Dr. David R. Hawkins
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. -John 3:6 KJV
words falling to the floor

Maybe what you are praying for is a "placeholder" for how you want to feel, what you want to experience. For example, if you are asking for a partner or marriage, what you probably want is to feel less lonely and more loved, valuable, needed, important or known. Or if you are praying for more money, you may really be asking for peace of mind, release from worry, or the freedom of time and and self-expression. The idea is to drill down to deeper levels in order to identify the heartfelt want or longed-for feeling underneath the perceived "fix." Then it becomes a more earnest prayer that allows an intelligent, loving God or Universe to deliver the best solution, one you couldn't have orchestrated or imagined yourself. It's like letting the words fall to the floor and the feelings of the heart rise like balloons.
Strictly speaking, words play no part at all in healing. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayers of the heart, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree…The prayer of the heart does not really ask for concrete things. It always requests some kind of experience in the opinion of the asker. -A Course in Miracles
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
-Bob Dylan, With God on Our Side
I don't want just words. If that's all you have for me, you'd better go. -F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. -Mahatma Gandhi
And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases… for [you] think that [you] will be heard for [your] many words... -Matthew 6:7-8 ESV
Prayer goes where it will. And when the heart gets into the prayer, every beat of the heart creates a miracle. –Yogi Bhajan

Your joy is your own. Don't let the grumpy ones steal it away. And for some comic relief today, the pure fun and genius of Dr. Seuss:
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch,
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk"!
(selected lyrics, written by Dr. Seuss)
The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy. -Proverbs 14:10 ESV
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary…prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. -Peter 5:8 ESV
Why did you flee secretly and trick me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre? -Genesis 31:27 ESV

Color, in all its glorious beauty, formed by the dispersion of white light. In other words, parts of the whole, fragments of the all. They mix and blend and play, oblivious to any real borders.
The white light streams down to be broken up by those human prisms into all the colors of the rainbow. Take your own color in the pattern and be just that. -Charles R. Brown
Remember the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home. -Tibetan Book of the Dead
I found I could say things with colors that I could not say in any other way, things for which I had no words. -Georgia O'Keeffe
Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment. -Claude Monet
In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. -Marc Chagall
Color exists in itself, possessing its own beauty. -Henri Matisse
It often seems to me that night is still more richly coloured than the day; having hues of the most intense violets, blues and greens. If only you pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance. -Vincent van Gogh

A different perspective can change your vision of reality. Get up, move around and take a walk around what you've been staring at. Lie on the ground and look up at it. Climb up high and look down over it. Study it from behind. Go up close, then far away. Change your angle. Use a microscope. Try a telescope. Stand on your head and look at it upside down. Play the lead role, supporting role, bit part and extra. Assume the opposite. Change your mind about it. Laugh about it. Forget about it. Miracles are simply shifts in perception.
Above all else I want to see things differently. -A Course in Miracles, Workbook Lesson 28
Things don't change. You change your way of looking, that's all. -Carlos Castaneda
There are no facts, only interpretations. -Friedrich Nietzsche

The other day my dad asked me a question that I would have never expected from him.
"How can I learn C++?"
My dad is turning 56 this year and computers are a distant concept for him. He doesn't know how to use a phone very well besides calling numbers (no speed dial or contacts); though he has started to learn computers a little better - to the point that he knows how to open the internet (in Windows) and browse around (and has successfully completed several job applications entirely on his own online, of which he was offered positions too). But still, these are too narrow-windowed experiences to mean much, really.
While he may not have the background, my dad knows how to read. And I mean reading as a skill, not just an ability. He has little to no college education (financial problems, family, etc.) and was fortunate enough to finish high school, but still taught himself to become a master electrician and has been one for almost 30 years now. He did the same with guitar, learning to play at a very professional level and has been praised for his skill. In high school, he picked up a weight lifting book - and was the only person in his high school at the time to qualify officially as an "athlete" by national standards.
In all cases, he just needed something to read. Something to teach him. He absorbs information like a sponge.
I have no doubt in my dad's motivation or capability of doing this, so my general goal is simply:
Get my dad into the world of computers, and get him on the road to programming.
I strongly believe that once I get him through the fundamentals, his drive and reading skill will keep him going on this own.
So I'm asking you all: where should I start with all this? And what are the best resources out there? Should I get him to start Linux instead of Windows? Is C++ a bad idea?
Remember, he needs to (IMO) learn computers first, and then get that first grasp (the "Hello world" experience) of programming.
For money's sake and at top preference, I'd like free online resources that he can read, but by all means any good suggestions in print or paid-for-online are welcome (that I could possibly look into later to purchase).
And also, I intend to start him off with C++ (no Python, Java, etc.), because I know it the best and will be able to help him along the way with code. (I have minimal knowledge right now in other languages).
Edit: I'm getting a lot of persistent suggestions to use Python. The only reason I wanted to do C++ is that I KNOW it and can be THERE when my dad needs help. My VERY FIRST exposure to programming ever was Java. I learned Java, and I got good at it. I open to other suggestions, but please provide an effective application of your suggestions.
EDIT #2: I understand my approach/thinking/knowledge could be lacking here. I'm a sophomore level undergraduate CS major. If you don't agree with anything in my post, tell me why - give me ideas, information - that's why I'm asking in the first place. To narrow down my general goal to specific reachable goals.

With the former Oregon Ducks Quarterback Dennis Dixon joining the Philadelphia Eagles, it would seem that Michael Vick has some competition. After being behind Pittsburgh Steelers Ben Roethlisberger and Charlie Batch and with Michael Vick's lackluster performances during this past season, it is Dennis Dixon who might just take the job away from him — as Michael Vick took the job away from Kevin Kolb and Donovan McNabb. But is everything as bright as it seems or is Dennis Dixon merely motivation or a stepping stone for a future franchise quarterback? Time to check the numbers and see…
2012 Year in Review
With the Pittsburgh Steelers 2009 and 2010 season being the two applicable NFL bearings for Dennis Dixon, he has made a total of 34 of 58 attempts those past two seasons for an average of 58.6 percent and 399 passing yards. He had an average quarterback rating of 70 which is mediocre. On the bright side, he had 8 attempts rushing for 59 yards and an average of 7.4 yards per attempt.
While Dixon was an Oregon Duck in his 2007 season, he performed much better with a 161 quarterback rating with 2,129 passing yards, but then again, he was facing much lesser competition and age was still in his favor.
2013 Fantasy Football Outlook
This might be the season Dennis Dixon finally takes over the reigns as starting quarterback if he performs and exceeds Michael Vick in the training camp. But this is a big might…
It's too early to tell, but given a chance, he should be capable of performing below Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III and definitely below San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick. If Dennis Dixon does start, he should place with a ceiling of QB2 at best and bench — and maybe waiver wire fodder — at worst.

Principal Proposed Uses
Horsetail is a living fossil, the sole descendent of primitive plants that served as dinosaur snacks 100 million years ago. Horsetail contains unusually high levels of the element silicon, making the herb so abrasive that it can be used for polishing. In addition, the plant can incorporate dissolved gold and other minerals into its structure.
Medicinally, horsetail has been used for treating urinary disorders, wounds, gonorrhea, nosebleeds, digestive disorders, gout, and many other conditions. 1
What Is Horsetail Used for Today?
Silicon plays a role in bone health, 2 and for this reason, horsetail has been recommended to prevent or treat osteoporosis , and to strengthen brittle nails . The famous German herbalist Rudolf Weiss also suggests that horsetail can relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis . 3 However, there is no real scientific evidence for these proposed uses.
The standard dosage of horsetail is 1 g in capsule or tea form up to 3 times daily, as needed. Medicinal horsetail should not be confused with its highly toxic relative, the marsh horsetail (Equisetum palustre)
Safety Issues
Noticeable side effects from standard dosages of horsetail tea are rare. However, horsetail contains an enzyme that damages vitamin B 1 (thiamin) and has caused severe illness and even death in livestock that consumed too much of it. 4 In Canada, horsetail products are required to undergo heating or other forms of processing to inactivate this harmful constituent.
Also, perhaps because horsetail contains low levels of nicotine, children have been known to become seriously ill from using the branches as blow guns. 5 This plant can also concentrate toxic metals present in its environment.
For all of the above reasons, horsetail is not recommended for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe kidney or liver disease.
Individuals taking the medication lithium should use herbal diuretics such as horsetail only under the supervision of a physician, as becoming dehydrated while taking this medication can be dangerous. 6
Horsetail may also cause loss of potassium, which may be dangerous for people taking drugs in the digitalis family. 7,8
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking
- Drugs in the digitalis family : Use horsetail only under medical supervision.
- Lithium : Do not use horsetail except under the supervision of a physician.

Catfish Smithers necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 90 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
Always There Home Care, http://www.HomeCareOhio.Com "Your Home. Your Rules. Our Care."
We are the Ultimate Alternative to Nursing Homes!
Nursing Home Orderlies spend less than 5 minutes-per-hour with each resident. We believe that our client's aging parents deserve more!
For those seniors who have made the important decision to stay at home, we enable them to do so with one-on-one care, and our passion to Always provide the best care with our belief in our motto: "Your Home. Your Rules. Our Care."
Based on the strength of this design, and how it incorporates our mission, company name, and potentially elements from our current design (as we still have a few thousand of our existing brochures yet to be delivered-gulp) we will be refreshing our commitment to families we will be keeping in touch with. IF this design is really great, we'll be forced to redesign our website, print materials, etc. So, an ongoing relationship with the winning designer could be critical.
Specifically the baby boomers, or 45-60 year old adult children of parents in their 75+ age group. Even more specifically, we have learned that the eldest daughter largely makes these decisions for Mom and Dad.
Our poor logo. It's a house frame type logo with our company name inside. Looks ok, maybe a bit generic.
This has served us well, but we need our tagline involved. I realize full well that this is 10 words to artfully craft into our logo. (Always There Home Care + ("Your Home . Your Rules. Our Care.")Is this a tall order? I have NO idea! (we don't have to put the .ltd at the end of our logo as far as I know).
Our phone number is an alpha numeric (614) HOME-CARE. I mention this only as extra fact. We are striving to serve those folks who need us 24/7 for around the clock care, by illustrating ourselves as a wonderful, loving alternative to facility life. Welcome Home! The home is warm, inviting, and TOTALLY different than living inside of a facility. Can a logo embody this?
We have typically gone with deep green colors, but are open to new ideas. Would like something that could also be used in a 'stamp' form (for rubber stamps so black and white version), and this logo will obviously be a memorable, staple of our contact with potential families and would be clients.
My life is in your hands. Thanks for your submission!
