Yogani at AYP site has written the most complete description of Kechari Mudra that I've seen. An excerpt follows, but I highly recommend reading the full lesson.
Lesson 108 - Kechari mudra – A giant leap for humankind
What is kechari mudra? Let's put it in terms that we can easily relate to. A centimeter or two above the roof of our mouth is located one of the most ecstatically sensitive organs in our whole body. It can be reached relatively easily with our tongue. It is located on the back edge of our nasal septum, and when the nervous system is purified enough through advanced yoga practices, our tongue will roll back and go up into the cavity of our nasal pharynx to find the sensitive edge of our septum. When this happens, it is like a master switch is closed in our nervous system, and all of our advanced yoga practices and experiences begin to function on a much higher level. When kechari is entered naturally, we come on to the fast track of yoga. It is the major league of yoga, if you will.
Ramakrishna said, "When the divine goddess comes up, the tongue rolls back."
Many have experienced this natural phenomenon at times in their yoga practices. When the nervous system is ready, it just happens. The tongue wants to go back. But few are able to follow though, and this is just a matter of education. If strong bhakti is there and the tongue is rolling back, it is a short trip to make the connection in the pharynx to a higher level of spiritual experience.
Not many people on earth today have made this important transition in yoga. However, it is likely that the number of people entering kechari will increase dramatically in the coming years. As this happens, it will be a giant leap forward for humankind, for it will mark humanity's shift to a predominantly spiritual mode of functioning of the nervous system. This will bring with it the many benefits of rising enlightenment spreading out through our modern society. Kechari is that significant, that powerful, and that indicative of where the human race is heading. Only a few yogis and yoginis in kechari can have a huge affect on the spiritual energies in everyone. They radiate energy that quickens the rise of the enlightenment process in all. So, while kechari is an individual phenomenon on the road to human spiritual transformation, it has global implications, as do all of our advanced yoga practices. As Jesus said, "You are the light of the world."
Advanced yogis and yoginis use kechari continuously throughout their sitting practices, and often during the day when not engaged in conversation. In other words, kechari is home for the advanced yogi and yogini. We do not even know that they are in kechari. Only the subtle glow of divine light gives them away. Inside, they are in the constant play of divine lovemaking.
We will cover four stages of kechari here (see Image above), all pertaining to the location of the tip of the tongue:
Stage 1 – To the point on the roof of the mouth where the hard and soft palates meet. This is the line of demarcation that must be crossed before stage 2 can be entertained.
Stage 2 – Behind the soft palate and up to the nasal septum. It is a short trip, but a momentous one. Initially this is done with help from a finger pushing back under the tongue, going to the left or right side of the soft palate where entry is easiest. This may require "breaking the hymen" of the membrane under the tongue. See below for more on this.
Stage 3 – Gradually working to the top of the nasal pharynx and septum. This takes us to the bony structure containing the pituitary gland.
Stage 4 – Entering the nasal passages from inside and moving upward beyond the top of the pharynx toward the point between the eyebrows. It is not as far for the tongue to go as it seems. Put your thumb on the hinge of your jaw and put your index finger at the tip of your tongue extended straight out. Then pivot the fixed length to your index finger up on your thumb to the point between your eyebrows. See? It is not so far for the tongue to go straight up from its root.
In these lessons we view the frenum as a tether to be trimmed back when the time is right. It keeps us out of kechari until we are ready. When we are ready, and each of us knows when that is, the frenum can be trimmed. It is like a "hymen." When a woman is ready for sexual intercourse, the hymen goes. Until then it serves to provide protection. This breaking of the hymen can be a stressful and painful event if it is forced. Sooner or later the frenum will be forced open too, because going into kechari is as natural as going into sexual intercourse. It is biologically preordained. It happens when the nervous system is mature enough. Advanced yoga practices bring us closer to the transition with each day of daily practices.
In terms of my own timeline, I started with stage 1 in 2003 but had no interest in moving to stage 2 until 2012, then after about a month of Talabya Kriya I was able to push my tongue with my fingers into stage 2, and I did not have to trim my frenum as Yogani describes. In 2013 I achieved stage 3 and this year (2014) I achieved stage 4 and have begun practicing Nadi Shodhana by using my tongue to block each nasal passage in turn. I generally use stage 3 for the Kundalini Kriyas and Golden Age Kriya.

- Interior Design Courses
I am a freelance educator and designer with a BA (Hons) in Interior design from Leeds University, working across multi-disciplines of design and specialising in exhibition design and commercial branding. I have over 10 years of design industry experience and have worked with many well-known brands including Marks and Spencer, Lloyds TSB and Butlin's venues across the UK.
I currently teach at Newcastle College across their 3D and Interior Design courses and previously lectured at the National Design Academy and Staffordshire University where I tutored on design and visual communication courses. Alongside these courses I taught day intensives in computer aided design. While completing my PGCHPE (Level 7) I specialised in eLearning technologies which has further enhanced my tutoring skills.
I decided to work in this particular field as I have always been a great believer that education should not be a "one size fits all" system. I am very proud to teach students who might not take the conversional route. Teaching design and being a designer makes a great relationship, as I can draw upon my industry experience while teaching, yet teaching also ensures my design knowledge and practice, stays fresh and in touch with the ever changing design world.
About my work
The Old Storehouse (image 1)
Design lead in the transformation of the exterior, bar and restaurant, entertainments space, public toilets and commercial kitchen at The Old Storehouse in Amble. Bespoke details including the lighting, bar joinery, toughened exterior hand rails, furniture and carpets.

Superdry (images 3 & 4)
Bespoke product design of exterior seating, signage and lighting to be used for a snow event.
Workmates (images 5 & 6)
Interior design and rebrand of a chain of recruitment agency offices.
My greatest achievement
Professionally, although I have worked on some strong commercial projects as a designer, I would suggest that one of my most fulfilling achievements was to write an access to interior design course aimed at helping adults with no prior qualification's to gain access onto degree courses and to see the students on the course flourish and go on to succeed. On a personal note raising my two daughters, while renovating our home, which was once a Victorian dentist's surgery.
My inspiration
Throughout my life I always feel most inspired when I am in a surprised state of mind and I am forced to reconsider a preconception. When I have to consider the time old saying 'don't judge a book by its cover'. An example of this might be when we find out that a very old man listens to the latest chart music on his iPod or when a torn down old building holds a beautifully exquisite tiled mural in its basement. I also enjoy the use of scale, looking at microscopic detail in nature. In terms of teaching I have always agreed with the Bauhaus ways of teaching design.

Michigan Bucks put on shooting clinic in 6-0 win over Toronto Lynx
Dzenan Catic scores hat-trick, Bucks shut out Toronto en route to commanding win
PONTIAC, Mich. – The Michigan Bucks came out in veteran PDL fashion Wednesday night against the Toronto Lynx, proving that they do know how to command a game.
The second half started out on a somewhat setback with star midfielder Zach Steinberger, from Butler University, going down with an ankle injury within the first two minutes. He would remain out for the entire game.
The Bucks quickly picked up pace, however, with No. 9 Dzenan Catic picking up the first of what would end up being a hat-trick of goals. His first was a header slotted into the upper corner of the net and all Toronto's goalie and two defenders marking on the post could do was watch it go in.
At halftime, the Bucks led 2-0, but came out even more intense in the second half with No. 8 Ngwese Enangwese, No. 22 Will Roberts and Catic all scoring.
Toronto had a few shots but Bucks goalkeeper Adam Grinwis handled each of them, whether it was having to leap high over the defenders to snag it or dive to snatch it up and keep a clean sheet for the match. Solid defending by the Bucks, led by No. 13 Stew Givens, diverted Toronto's offense all night and shut down their attempt to get on the board.
Michigan Bucks to play at Canton Cup this weekend
This shutout win gets the Bucks into prime form to face the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at the 32nd annual Canton Cup Tournament this Saturday, May 24 at noon on Independence Field. It has been a tradition for the Bucks to put on a match in front more than 643 youth travel teams from the Midwest that are participating in the tournament, too.
The Canton Cup does a great job of providing a great atmosphere and fun for the whole family with inflatables for the kids and great food for all.
Best of all, admission is free.

The $64,000 question coming out of SummerSlam last night is, was the Daniel Bryan firing a work or not? I'd like to think the whole thing was planned from the beginning, but I just can't give WWE creative that much credit. Especially with the do we or don't we have a guest host every week. I think someone is scheduled, tonight, but I don't care. I'm more interested in the fallout from last night, like will Daniel Bryan confront The Miz for taking him out? And what will happen to Nexus?
Monday Night RAW stays in Los Angeles, and the road crew even got a night off, as the show is still in the Staples Center. Nexus returns to the scene of their first loss. Wade Barrett tries to rally his troops by saying whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and the rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated. Barrett says there will be more pain and misery for anyone who gets in their way. He calls the loss an aberration.
The leader of Team WWE, John Cena, walks out on stage interrupting Barrett. Cena points out to Wade that he tapped out, and lost the match for Nexus. Cena calls them the Expendables, and points out Daniel Bryan eliminated half the Nexus by himself. After SummerSlam, Nexus has been exposed. Nexus is a group of individuals, and that will been shown tonight. Cena calls out each individual member of Nexus. Cena says the fear is gone since they lost. Darren Young tries to interject, but Cena points out he tapped in under a minute. He is the weakest link. The tension is broken by the omnipresent General Manager.
Michael Cole reads the edict. The GM wants to continue SummerSlam by having Nexus face WWE superstars one on one, and if there is any interference by Nexus it will be met with swift punishment. Barrett calls this a chance for redemption, and examine the Nexus for weak links. If there are any weak links, they will be weeded out. Any Nexus member that loses will be exiled from the group. Otunga tells Barrett that also applies to him. The GM fires off another email. Nexus can pick and choose who they face, except for Wade Barrett. He will face his former mentor, Chris Jericho, and that match is next.
Match #1 – Wade Barrett vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho pushes Barrett in the corner, and follows with a clothesline. Jericho continues the assault with a suplex, and then connects with a drop kick. Barrett pulls himself up on the apron, only to be drop kicked to the floor. Jericho follows him to the floor, kicking him in the head. Jericho gets caught re-entering the ring. On the floor, Barrett drives Jericho into the apron, and then puts the boots to him.
Back in the ring, Barrett whips Jericho into the corner and he hits the floor. Jericho powers out of a submission, and hits a missile drop kick. Barrett kicks out at two. Jericho hits a running bulldog, after a series of shoulder blocks. Jericho tries for the Walls, but Barrett counters. Jericho gets the second attempt on, but Barrett is able to break the hold by getting to the ropes. Jericho walks into a big boot, but Barrett only gets a two count. Jericho responds with an enziguri, but Barrett catches Jericho going for the Codebreaker, slamming him to the mat. Barrett covers for the three count.
Winner via pinfall: Wade Barrett
So we do have guest hosts tonight. Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day and Justin Long hit the ring to promote their new movie, Going the Distance. Word of warning, it's a chick flick; I've seen the trailer. Justin Long introduces the Hart Dynasty. The GM breaks in with an email.
The Hart Dynasty will be receiving brand new title belts. They will no longer be the Unified Tag Team champion, but the WWE Tag Team Champions. Bret Hart then walks out with the new belts and presents them to the champs. (Now can we please get rid of the Spinner Belt?)
Wade Barrett breaks up the party by informing Bret Hart that he will be facing Justin Gabriel.
After the commercial, we see Vince McMahon's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Match #2 – Michael Tarver vs. Daniel Bryan
The crowd loves Daniel Bryan, but Tarver punches him into the corner. Bryan gets a boot up as Tarver charges, and then hits an arm breaker. Bryan continues the assault with a series of kicks, and finishes it off with a missile drop kick off the top rope. The Miz and his new NXT Rookie Alex Riley run down to ringside. The distraction allows Tarver to roll Bryan up and get the pin.
Winner via pinfall: Michael Tarver
Bryan takes out Miz and Riley with a suicide dive, but Tarver joins in, allowing the Miz to get the upper hand. Miz hits Bryan with the Skull Crushing Finale onto the MitB briefcase.
Josh Matthews asks The Miz to explain his actions. The Miz is upset he was bumped for Daniel Bryan. The Miz doesn't think Bryan is anything special, and Alex Riley says about the same.
Elsewhere backstage, Darren Young tells his teammates he wants John Cena tonight.
Match #3 – Justin Gabriel vs. Bret Hart
Before the match, the GM fires off another email. He informs Justin that he will not be facing Bret Hart, because he doesn't like Hart. He wants Hart off of RAW, so instead he has made a last minute substitution, Randy Orton.
Match #3 – Justin Gabriel vs. Randy Orton
Gabriel pushes Orton, and then kicks him in the thigh. Orton looks unaffected. Orton catches the leg of Gabriel and toys with him before hitting a short arm clothesline. Orton follows with a powerslam, and then catches Gabriel trying to escape the ring. Orton delivers the elevated DDT, and stalks his prey, until WWE Champion Sheamus sticks his nose in the match. Orton fights him into the crowd and gets himself counted out.
Winner via count out: Justin Gabriel
After hearing the ring announcer calling Gabriel's name as the winner, Orton returns to the ring and hits him with an RKO. Orton then turns back to the champ, attacking him with a steel chair. WWE officials try to control Orton, but he runs back and drops Sheamus with an RKO.
Match #4 – Skip Sheffield and David Otunga vs. John Morrison and R-Truth
Morrison hits Otunga with a side Russian leg sweep, and tags in R-Truth, who drops a leg from the top rope. Truth makes the pin, which is broken up by Sheffield. Otunga makes the tag, and Sheffield is able to catch Truth coming off the top, slamming him to the mat. Otunga tags back in, but Truth hits him with a leg sweep. Morrison gets the hot tag, hitting Otunga with a drop kick, but Sheffield makes a blind tag, and clobbers Morrison. Sheffield hits a lariat and covers for the three count.
Winner via pinfall: Skip Sheffield and David Otunga
Match #5 – Melina, Eve, and Gail Kim vs. Alicia Fox, Maryse, and Jillian Hall
Jillian Hall picks up the win for her time by yanking Eve off the turnbuckle and pinning her.
Winner via pinfall: Alicia Fox, Maryse, and Jillian Hall
Josh Matthews asks Edge how important was it for him to be part of the team that beat the Nexus. Heath Slater wants to work out a deal with Edge for tonight's match. Slater wants Edge to take the night off. Edge says normally he would do that, but he doesn't want to forfeit to some Edge wannabe. Slater then drills him in the back.
Match #6 – Heath Slater vs. Edge
Edge goes right after Slater, beating him into the corner. Slater takes a hard ride into the corner, as Edge continues to work him over. Edge climbs the turnbuckle, but Slater is able to crotch him on the ropes, and then kick him to the floor. Slater slams Edge into the security barrier, and rolls him back into the ring. Slater pulls Edge down by the hair, and then punches him in the face. Edge dodges a corner splash, and hits a forearm and a clothesline. Slater catches edge with the one man flapjack. Edge sends Slater the floor, and catches him with a big boot on the outside. Edge looks for the spear, but Slater rolls into the ring, beating the count, and Edge is counted out.
Winner via countout: Heath Slater
After the bell, Edge spears Slater in the ring.
Justin Long is in the back talking with the Great Khali about having a long distance relationship. Long can't quite find the words to describe Khali's girlfriend after seeing a picture. Long's co-stars freak out over her picture and Khali scares them away. Khali admits she is ugly, when the Bella twins come in to whisk him away.
Match #7 – John Cena vs. Darren Young
Darren Young tries to get a quick win with a roll-up, but Cena kicks out. Young tries a back slide, and Cena kicks out. Nexus watches from the stage. Young hits a clothesline, but still cannot get the pin. Young hits a neckbreaker, but still no pinfall. Cena whips Young into the corner, but runs into an elbow. Young hits a suplex, and bridges into a pin, but Cena kicks out. Cena is tossed from the ring, and Young follows, kicking the ring steps into Cena. Young returns to the ring, as Cena is down on the floor. Cena beats the count, and avoids a leg drop. Cena hits the shoulder block and the side walk slam. Young takes the five knuckle shuffle, and sets up the Attitude Adjustment. Young fights out, but cannot get Cena over on the sunset flip. Cena counters into the STF, and Young taps.
Winner via submission: John Cena
Nexus surrounds the ring, but they let Cena go. Darren Young is their target, and he is beat down in the middle of the ring by his teammates. Sheffield hits him with the clothesline, and Barrett then slams him to the mat. Gabriel finishes him off with the 450 splash. The remaining members of Nexus stand over Young in the ring to end the show.

The Greek historian Herodotus related details of Persian postal methods, declaring, "nothing mortal travels so fast as Persian messengers". To the Persians goes credit for perfecting a postal service that became a model for the entire ancient world. But in todays war-torn Persian Gulf, the U.S. and military postal services are credited with moving the largest volume of mail to any one specific area in the world.
I doubt if Saddam Hussein collects stamps, but I'm sure many of his people inside Iraq do.
Friends of mine who are stationed in the gulf have been looking for Iraqi stamps – at my request being an avid collector of Middle Eastern postage. And what they've found out might surprise you, especially if you've become a TV news junkie like I have….knowing of the vast destruction inside that country.
How could anyone even think of collecting stamps in those kinds of conditions I wondered. Reading a letter from Richard, I couldn't believe it when he said, "Stamps are big business…they're a lot more than you told me they would cost".
From what I knew from the catalogs, Iraqi stamps – those from say the past 50 years – are pretty low in cost. I asked Richard to send me all pre-1960 issues, in mint or good condition if possible.
"I walked into this store in the town just outside where our unit was deployed. I asked for stamps…they sold just about everything – from brass to a bitter tasting candy which I can't pronounce. He pulled out a plastic box that was hidden under the table where he did business. I don't know anything about stamps, but they looked real old," he said. This stamp hunting took place before Richard would go off for the Desert Storm campaign. From what he said, the GI's were allowed to visit some cities in the Mid East.
He said the Saudi salesman said he had "many Iraqi stamps", that he was a collector. And would sell them at a fair price. What was fair to him, didn't sound fair to my friend. Richard told me he asked about $1.00 in US money for each stamp. Well, I told Richard before he left to look for bargains…to pay no more than say $10.00 for a large lot of stamps. I was hoping something might turn up, especially with all the turmoil going on in the country.
I told my friend at the Alexandria (VA) Stamp Club, a Mr. Bill Elliott, about this quest for Iraqi stamps. Bill told me about a nice Iraqi stamp item he picked up in Europe about four years ago. "Just about every Sunday in Palermo (Sicily) they have a sort of a flea market in the center of town," he said. "And just browsing I came across an otherwise undistinguished cover that was made interesting by the boxed cachet which indicates the cover must have been used for air mail".
Doing research on Iraqi issues from the early 1920's, I found a reference to the British military desert mail route that preceded the first mid-East Imperial route of 1927.
Bill's cover had a black stamped box with the words "By Air Service, Baghdad-Cairo". It was addressed to someone in London, but with no date and stamped air mail. On the back was a row of four stamps showing what Bill said was Iraq's first postal issue and a very light 1924 Baghdad cancellation. What carried these letters was the British long-range flying boat.
Doing some research into my old photo collection, I came across what was referred to as the "Goonie-Bird" by British forces in World War II. The aircraft dates back to the early 1920's. And like the stamp, covered the Middle East while routed from London to Cape Town over the Imperial route.
The British Imperial Airways didn't have to carry the volume of mail that today is flown to and from the Gulf, but did its fair share in keeping mail lines open to Iraq.
Surely Bill would let me have this cover at a fair price, I thought. After all we were stamp club mates….and he knew my wants for Iraqi stamps. Maybe it was the war thing, or that I was just in the hunt for something special from Iraq. I think all stamp collectors go through this "craving". We just can't get our mind off that stamp or cover or block or whatever.
It's stamp fever, and I had it bad. I wanted Bill's air service to Baghdad cover. Bill said he would let it go for $450. I said, "What, we're at war with that country for crum sake!"

When asked to describe her recent mission trip in three words Yankton dentist, Dr. Jessie Scott, states "The words I would use would be: perspective, priorities, and gratitude." Dr. Scott had the opportunity to travel to Chimaltenango, Guatemala this past January with her assistant Martee Herman and said her life has been changed ever since.
"I went with a group (of dentists) I found online, they go several times a year." She explained how welcoming the group was to her, and how for many of the 30 dentists it was their first time traveling with a mission group as well. "I always wanted to go on a mission trip, just to do something to give back. I needed something to revive. You get so used to practicing (dentistry) that you need something to break that up," Dr. Scott expresses.
"Guatemala is very friendly to mission trips," says Scott explaining why this is such a popular destination for missionaries. Legality issues limit the amount of mission work that can be done here in the United States, and she explains this is why so many people travel to provide services elsewhere.
The days were long and consisted of lots of hard work, but Scott insists it was worth it. "We got up and got on a bus by 7 o'clock at our hotel and a bus would drive about an hour (from Antigua where they were staying) and we would get to the little town (of Chimaltenango)," Dr. Scott says. She reveals when they arrived at the church where the equipment was set up, there would be long lines of people patiently waiting to receive dental work. "We just pulled teeth," Dr. Scott explains, "Our goal was just to get people out of pain."
The group of dentists saw patients ranging in age from 2 to 80 years old. The total number of patients treated is unknown, but Scott estimates that over the five days in Chimaltenango "we extracted nearly 2000 teeth".
But things did not always go as planned while there. "Because we were set up in a church, it wasn't really built to handle the capacity that we needed to hold all the air compressors and the lights, so we blew fuses all the time. But we had one of the dentists' husband come along and he was very mechanically inclined, so he fixed a lot of things."
When asked about her family's opinion of this trip Dr. Scott chuckles and states, "They hated it. I was gone for a week and it was the first time I had ever left them, so they weren't very excited about that." But as much as they worried about their mother Scott's children understood why she was going there and knew "these people needed me to go in order to get better".
"Before I left, (my kids and I) went through all their toys and clothes and got everything that was decent and put it in these
bags. I went with four big suitcases full of stuff that was put out on a table and after people had treatment, they were able to go to the table and pick something out," Scott says.
"I explained to (my kids) how they didn't really need three pairs of shoes when this person that I'm going to work with has one, and they have shared it with their siblings for ten years. So (my kids) really understood that these people needed us to go."
When asked her favorite part about the trip, Dr. Scott states with a smile, "I was just so impressed with how grateful the people were there, and how thankful they were. When we went they would come to the clinic in their nicest church clothes. They were just so appreciative."
Dr. Jessie Scott states this is not her last mission trip. "I am not sure when I will get to do (another trip), I promised my kids not for a few more years," she says laughing. "But I will go on another trip, I hope several more trips. It changes your perspective."

October Beach Day 2
We were lucky to be there two Saturday's in a row.
The top sketch was painted just after we arrived. A little later on, I photographed Grizz enjoying her walk along the water's edge. Once we were seated back under the beach umbrella, I used the photo on my phone for reference. There's a challenge... try to see an image on a phone with the bright sun at the beach!

As we have already endured a very hot summer here in the Portland area, it's important to know that the heat is not yet ready to let up.
Portland had a high of 103 degrees yesterday, which is only 4 degrees shy of the record for the date of 107 degrees set in 1965. That 107 degrees is the highest temperature ever recorded in Portland. Now that is what we call hot.
Thursday's temperature was the first 100 degree day in Portland since August 2012, and the hottest day in Portland since July 2009, when it hit 106 degrees. Thursday was the 20th day this year when the temperature reached or exceeded 90 degrees in Portland.
With all these hot temperatures, it's important to keep your air conditioning running at it's best. We have been extremely busy helping our customers keep their air conditioners running, and we can do the same for you.
As Portland will likely reach 100 degrees today, and stay in the low 90's through the weekend, contact us today if your air conditioner needs servicing.

Happy November, my friends--it's hard to believe the year is waning and we'll soon be celebrating the holidays, gathering with friends and family, and then welcoming the year 2018! But I'd better not get ahead of myself. We still have two months of this year left to enjoy! Today it's time to share my design team project for CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. If you haven't joined in on the fun yet, I invite you to come over and play one of the funnest challenges around :)
Here's this month's major case file:
Here's how I solved the case:
Evidence: Stripes, watercolor, architectural elements, animals (butterflies), wood grain and wood
Testimony: I chose to have a little fun with the testimony for this one, since the photo itself isn't doesn't really have a story to it, so I decided to do a free verse poem, using Magnetic Poetry for fun, as suggested in the CSI post. I ad libbed here and there, but the main points came from my magnetic poem! This was really fun, so I suggest giving it a try for yourself. I tucked the poem in a pocket (the "documented" tag).
Listen, snow falls on burnished trees,
See, the frost has laced the autumn leaves.
The scene (photo) is the inspiration for the case file, which contains a color scheme, clues, and testimony. To complete the challenge, use all five colors, choose THREE of the clues for your layout, and choose one of the journaling prompts (testimony). For major case files (the first of the month) there is also a sketch included. On the 15th of the month there will be a second case file released, so check back then for another chance to play and win some fun prizes!
Here's a link to the Law and Order page (rules) for the rest of the details.
Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to stopping over to your blog/galleries and seeing what you create!

Subtitled 'Tragicomic Songs for the City of London', Concrete opera is a libretto I wrote telling the story of a tower being built in London. It deals with the various consequences that this new building might entail: gentrification, eviction, and revitalisation are all on the menu.

I'm so thankful that it's not just Easter morning that presents an opportunity to remember that Christ is risen. Every day we have the choice to live out the joyous Easter message. I love celebrating holidays, but honestly, it's hard to avoid getting bogged down by the whole Easter package partly because we live in a society that says holidays should look perfect and vogue, shiny and colorful, stunning and impressive -- with magazines, blogs and television shows constantly reminding us. The Easter package I grew up with as a child, the one that my mother lived out very humbly, was not the Easter we see today. For my mother, the Easter message of love and forgiveness was served up family style to each guest sitting around her table. Every one of our neighbors who had no place to go was there. She pulled out the special linens and her china with a centerpiece of tasty homemade white Easter cake sitting on a pedestal decorated with green dyed coconut for grass and jelly beans as a symbol of life. We had this every year. Even though my mom entertained beautifully, she did not entertain perfectly. When I was a child my Mom wasn't tempted by all of the glitz we are exposed to today. There was no HGTV so she didn't have much to compare her "style of entertaining" with. This is where beautiful and imperfect come in. We struggle and fight to look good -- for our families to look especially beautiful on Easter morning, for our food to be gourmet, for decorations and tablescapes to be over-the-top and impressive. I'd say we might be a bit prideful about it all, myself included. But putting this Easter package aside, we have to remember what really draws people together on that day. Is it really Easter bunnies and egg hunts and delicious brunch food and chocolate? Or is it the true message of genuine love and authenticity that we have when we put impressing aside and choose to bless others? Christ's death and resurrection (the true Easter story) wasn't "pretty" or "hospitable." It was nothing but authentic and real, offering the total gift of Himself and resulting in our ultimate freedom. Lysa Terkeust says it beautifully in her new book Made to Crave, "We label ourselves and soon lose our real identity to the beaten and bruised fragility we call 'me.' We compare, we assume, we assess, we measure, and most times walk away shaking our heads at how woefully short our 'me' falls when compared to everyone else. How dangerous it is to hold up the intimate knowledge of our imperfections against the outside packaging of others." So I would like to encourage everyone to put the Easter packaging away this year and to simply relish the kind of hospitality my mother taught me many years ago. Let's be authentic this year. How about it?
Blessings to All, Karen

Mountain View, California (EastBayDaily) — As they move toward a connected business model, enterprises increasingly rely on the convergence of APIs, integration, and a service-oriented architecture (SOA). RESTful APIs connect internal and external business participants; integration bridges silos; and SOA encourages organizations to build maintainable solutions. WSO2 will present two workshops to help integration developers and IT architects take advantage of this convergence to transform their integration process.
The "API, Integration, and SOA Convergence" workshops will be held in two cities in November: Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday, November 4, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. To register, visit http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2014-november-kuala-lumpur-api-integration-and-soa-convergence-workshop. Singapore, Thursday, November 6, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. To register, visit http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2014-november-singapore-api-integration-and-soa-convergence-workshop.
Transforming the Integration Process
The workshop will demonstrate how organizations can transform their integration process by rapidly implementing a RESTful design, enforcing governance policies, safely scaling solutions, orchestrating complex interaction sequences, and reusing assets.
Leading both workshops will be Miyuru Wanninayaka, WSO2 senior technical lead. Miyuru will first discuss why mobile, cloud services, and big data insights are transforming integration practices. He then will review patterns and best practices for increasing adoption, speeding delivery, and creating maintainable solutions. Additionally, Miyuru will explain how to realize a reference architecture for API, integration and SOA.
Workshop demonstrations will include: Building RESTful APIs with WSO2 Application Server and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (WSO2 ESB). Sharing master data with WSO2 Data Services Server. Mediating, transforming and routing messages with WSO2 ESB. Encouraging mobile interactions with WSO2 API Manager. Monitoring RESTful APIs, service usage and adoption with WSO2 API Manager, WSO2 ESB toolkits, and WSO2 Business Activity Monitor.
Workshop Presenter
Miyuru Wanninayaka is a WSO2 senior technical lead, who focuses on WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) development. He also has provided technology consulting on customer engagements, helping to successfully implement enterprise integration and mobile services gateway solutions. Additionally, Miyuru is a Sun-certified Java programmer and committer for the Apache Synapse open source ESB project.

Nevertheless, one of my 101 Things in 1001 Days is to try 100 new recipes.
I don't remember making a quiche before, but I really wanted one, so I found a recipe online, and changed it slightly. I omitted the spinach (didn't have any) and added a touch of nutmeg (because I'd seen it in another recipe).
Looks pretty good, no? Not as good as my mom's, and don't even get me started on fancying-up pie crust. But it tastes decent, and it's made with 1% milk instead of half-and-half, so it's much lower in fat.
In other culinary news, I patched together a recipe for pork chops that I'm very happy with.
Dust a nice, thick boneless chop with a bit of dried mustard. Throw it in a pan with enough olive oil to prevent sticking. scatter some dried onion flakes around in there. Cook it, turning halfway through (don't ask me how long). Maybe 5 minutes before it's finished, add a dollop of honey, turning once to make sure it coats both sides.
The honey carmelizes, adding a little bit of sweet and a little bit of crisp. Num.

Metapsychology has already published a review of Sylvia Nassar's A
Beautiful Mind (April 2002).
The audiobook version read by Anna Field's is unabridged, and lasts over 20
hours on thirteen tapes. The book tells the story of how Nash grew up to be a
famous Nobel Prize winner and was from a child an eccentric boy who had
difficulty relating to others. It details how his interest in mathematics
suited his mind, and how he excelled at the subject. He was arrogant and
talented. Nassar goes into considerable detail in explaining Nash's
mathematical development and his ideas in game theory. She explains his
achievements and his later struggles to maintain his reputation as his grip on
reality crumbled. She details his romantic relationships with both women and
men, his family life, and his psychiatric treatment over the years. His
behavior was always deeply eccentric, but eventually it became so erratic and
bizarre that most of those around him decided that he needed to be
hospitalized, even against his will. When, later in his life, his work came to
be considered for a Nobel Prize, Nassar chronicles the covert politics and
debates among the different individuals who had the ability to make the
decision, and she shows how it was a deeply controversial step for the Nobel
committee to take. For many whose primary focus is on mental illness, the
central question of interest is whether Nash's mathematical creativity was in
some way related to his unusual thought processes and his schizophrenia. Nassar
provides no definitive answer to this issue, but she does provide plenty of
material for further speculation.
Fields reads the unabridged audiobook with a good deal of authority. Her
commanding voice demands the reader's attention, and her performance is
consistent throughout the whole book.

DUNCAN, Okla. – The National Rural Water Association opened registration, today, for the 2018 Rural Water Rally, which will be held Feb. 5-7 in Washington, D.C . Registration, housing and other rally information is available at https://nrwa.org/rally/.
The Rural Water Rally brings utility system representatives to Capitol Hill to support funding for infrastructure, training and technical assistance. The Rural Water Rally includes the Great American Water Taste Test, where drinking water from around the country is judged to determine the year's best. All events are held at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill.
An early registration discount will be available until Jan. 18, though registration will be available on-site and online.
NRWA is also organizing letter-writing and social media campaigns for rural water supporters that cannot attend the rally in person. Utilities that have received assistance from rural water are encouraged to write a letter to their State Association detailing how the association has helped and the value they provide.
Rural water supporters can also participate in the social media campaign by posting their support for rural water on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #NRWArepresents during the rally.

Through our blog posts, we share insight into our latest thinking. We strive to provide answers to the questions that are important to our clients.
05.14.19Why Startups Fail: Founders are the Real Failure RiskBy: Joanna E. Starek
According to CB Insights, only 48% of seed-funded companies will raise another round. If a company secures more investment dollars, there is still no guarantee it will survive. What is happening?
05.07.19Learning to Lead in Unlikely PlacesBy: Cristina Jimenez
I love to use analogies in my work, and I share with executives frequently that taking them out of their own world helps them connect to the idea of feedback in both emotional and intellectual ways, making the learning more concrete. Much of my own insights about life and leadership often come from unlikely sources and rarely from a leadership...
04.30.19Why Feedback Matters in Top Team PerformanceBy: Jane Lim
The current business environment is more uncertain, fast-paced, and dynamic than ever before. In this setting, senior teams must think critically about what they can do differently or where they might improve to optimize the performance of their teams and organizations.
04.23.19Can You Lead a Private Equity Portfolio Company?By: David Astorino, By: Steven Gilbert
Most private equity firms have high levels of debt. They require constant attention to cash flow, spending, debt repayment, and financial targets so their companies can exit in two to five years.
04.16.19What Has Machine Learning Got to Do with Leadership...By: Reece Akhtar
Organizations invest money in assessing, measuring, and modifying a leader's behavior in the hopes that a few nudges can push the needle. This is not a wasted effort; there is much evidence to demonstrate that this is a worthwhile exercise. But can we do a better job at identifying and understanding a leader's talents? Yes.

One of the most difficult career transitions occurs when you have been a long-term employee of one company and are leaving to move to a new job. The emotions surrounding the transition represent a mixture of excitement and trepidation, coupled with a profound sense of loss.

The higher up you go within hierarchical organizational structures, the more powerful the roles become, with the CEO being the most powerful. Our research and experience show that leaders cast long shadows over their organizations. In this way, every single behavior matters when it comes to the engagement of employees many levels below them.

Looking for a new crochet project online (whatever did we do before the internet!!) I stumbled across Sophie's Universe CAL 2015. (Yes I know it's 2016 now!) Looking through various sites I found Dedri's wonderful site "lookatwhatimade" which includes the pattern that I have decided to follow and share with you.
Bonus prizes – Dedri is very kindly leaving the pattern up indefinitely and free 🙂 lovely
I love Dedri's approach, and in fact my blog started out with similar aspirations leaning in the main to baking, but lately has been taken over more and more by my love of making things from string 🙂
The pattern is beautifully written, and I have found it fairly straightforward to follow. The written pattern was all I used for the first three parts but once I got to part four (where I am now) it has got a bit more complicated and this is where I have used the companion tutorials to help me get a visual on what I'm trying to achieve.
These video tutorials are to be found on you tube and here is the link to the first one. These videos have been made by It's All in a Nutshell Crochet. She has a YouTube site where all the tutorials can be found. They are done very well, nice and clear, straightforward, easy to follow 🙂 Happy days.
I decided to take progress shots as I complete each part so you can see how it shapes up. It's been lovely to watch it change as each round has been added.
Part one:
Part Two:
Part Three:
The yarn I have been using is Stylecraft DK and my favourite 4.5mm hook. I didn't take the advice of the pattern author to go down a hook size as I forgot to!! lol, I may very well pay for that later on. The pattern page has lots of suggestions on yarns to use and if you google images for Sophie's Universe you will find loads of these online to help you choose your colour scheme.
Last but not least Dedri also has a helpful tips page for this. Highly recommend reading this first as opposed to what I did!!!
Hope you enjoy this as much as me, I am so looking forward to seeing how it turns out so I can decide who to give it to!

We have been planning a braai for The Gathering on New Year's Day for quite a while now but I don't think any of us could have guessed just how significant today would be. The day dawned beautifully and quickly turned into the hottest, calmest day we have had in months – perfect for a braai. We had bought enough food to feed a small army, ordered a jumping castle for the children, tidied up the garden and had had a stern talking to Rosie dog to behave herself!!
What a day of fun we have had! One thing that is clear is that in a relatively short space of time we have grown into a family who love each other, like each other and who would do anything for one another – what a privilege! We haven't heard so much laughter ringing out from our garden for a long time as children devised new ways to jump onto the jumping castle (yes really!); Ziggy fell out of the hammock(!) and the new Chairman of the Ministry of Eating was announced from amongst us!
Amongst the fun and laughter, fellowshipping and getting to know each other better we also knew that God had told us to take time today to perform a symbolic act of letting go of the past in order to move forward into all that He has for us this year. Michael Angier writes, "In order to embrace the new, we must release the old. A trapeze artist cannot swing from one bar to another without letting go. An important part of preparing for the New Year is to review the past year—to release it—and to learn from it". As a result we had all collected various items we had relating to Tree of Life church and together we threw them on to our braai fire before using the ashes to cook our meat to eat – just as Elisha did in 1 Kings 19:21. This was quite an emotional time but very healing as we all gathered with one heart and mind, all filled with a desire to be released from the past and to move into all that God has for us. What a privilege to serve together and to lead this special bunch of people – The Gathering (International)!
Preparing to burn the past
Burning the past, especially old Tree of Life stuff
Laying the past to rest
This was very powerful as we symbolically burnt the past
Everyone burnt something
Ziggy overseeing Dean's braai skills
Ziggy showing how it should be done!
Ziggy with Rebecca, Yanko & Sarah
Grub up!
Mercy led us in the "ministry of eating"
Ziggy & Eli
Gloria & Chiko
Terance leading the charge onto the bouncy castle
Go Terance!

Just hot of the launch of Lexus new SUV, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors pulled another one SUV launch of their own with the new 3rd generation Hyundai Tucson making an appearance on our shores. Since the launch of the first generation model, the Tucson has made an impression and has a strong reputation worldwide.
Mr Lau Yit Mun, the Managing Director of Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) expects the all-new Tucson to boost Hyundai's sales in Malaysia with its new sporty bold design, upgraded features and a growing demand for SUVs in Malaysia. "Hyundai's innovative design has never failed to impress car enthusiasts. The launch of the all-new Tucson demonstrates Hyundai's design and technological capabilities in producing yet another game-changing product." said Mr Lau.
The all-new Tucson is longer (+3.0 inch), wider (+1.1 inch) and has a longer wheelbase (+1.2 inch) than the previous model for greater interior volume and versatility. Overall, cargo room has been increased to 31.0 cubic feet (from 25.7), up more than five cubic feet over the previous model. The rear lift gate opening has been enlarged in every dimension, for greater cargo flexibility. The 60/40 rear seatbacks have a greater range of adjustable recline for varying combinations of passengers and cargo, with an increased available recline of 37 degrees compared with 28 degrees for the previous model.
The Tucson maintains the Nu 2.0 MPi engine with a direct-injected four-cylinder powerplant that produces 155 ps and 192 Nm torque. With a body weight of 1,435kg, the Tucson delivers the best power to weight ratio in its class. Coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission that offers SHIFTRONIC™ manual shifting mode as well as an overdrive lock-up torque converter would result in much-improved fuel economy at highway speeds. The Tucson also offers a choice of three Drive Mode selections which are normal, sports and eco to match the drivers' mood and driving conditions.
This locally assembled C-SUV Tucson is currently only available in the aforementioned 2WD Nu 2.0 MPI engine with two variants to select from – the Elegance and the Executive. The Elegance retails at an introductory price of RM125,311.51 while the Executive variant retails at an introductory price of RM138,925.68. Price indicated is inclusive of GST but excludes registration fee, road tax, insurance and hire purchase ownership claim fees (only applicable in Peninsular Malaysia). According to HSDM, pricing for both the variants will increase by RM3,000 starting January 2016. To top it off, HSDM is also offering 50,000km free service with a validity of 3 years with every purchase of the new Tucson, which is equivalent to 6 times of free service. Customers can choose from seven appealing exterior colours which include Pure White, Platinum Silver, Pepper Grey, Sepia Topaz, Ara Blue, Ruby Wine and Phantom Black, and three leather packages namely Black, Red and White. These interior options are normally offered by luxury carmakers but HSDM is making them available for its customers as well.
As with all Hyundai models, the new Tucson also features a state-of-the-art safety system that offers optimal driving stability. These include the Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system, Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) with an Automatic Vehicle Hold feature. The Elegance variant is fitted with two airbags while the Executive variant has six airbags. HSDM offers a 5-year or 300,000km (whichever comes first) warranty on all its new passenger vehicles. A 24-hour road assist service is also now available to new and existing Hyundai vehicles.

Kid Cudi: Soundtrack 2 My Life, Music Video
"Soundtrack 2 My Life", quite possibly the best song on the best hip-hop album of last year, now comes with an accompanying visual, courtesy of director Jason Goldwatch. The video, more of a silly backstage documentary soundtracked by "Soundtrack", depicts How To Make It In America star Kid Cudi as a swelly dude. Just like you he plays with his orange light saber. Just like you he does the robot in an astronaut costume. Just like you he dances around on stage with a giant crustacean.

Houston Fresh Arts crowd brings their costume, fundraising A-game to "Crystal Ball" gala
Body paint, Jello shots, and trendy restaurants help the 15th Fresh Arts ball raise record $200,000 at Silver Street Studios
Fresh Arts' fundraisers are just like Halloween – only better.
Keep the costumes and candy, add a dance floor and adult beverages, then subtract the kiddos.
Nearly all of Friday night's 700 patrons fully embraced this year's "Crystal Ball" theme at Silver Street Studios. Interpretations ranged from Prohibition-style flappers to disco-era mirrored globes, 1980s metallic looks, futuristic glamour, and every sparkling rendition in between.
True to form, none shone brighter than Marita Fairbanks, Fresh Arts Coalition founder and the evening's honoree. An army of Fairbanks replicas - courtesy of the Neal Hamil Agency - modeled the fashion plate's most notable get-ups from galas past. Kasi Kubiak, the local artist behind Fairbanks's legendary ensembles, was in attendance to show off her handiwork; this go-around, the guest of honor embraced her inner ice queen down to an electronic orb-adorned crown.
Katie Brass glistened ice princess-style next to fellow co-chairs Stephanie Cockrell and Raquel Segal; the latter pair (and their husbands) tapped Miles David designer David Peck to create the foursome's matching crystal outfits.
Lucinda Loya rocked a corseted number made by "Katy Perry's person," and no less than one dozen models roamed the venue covered in Rudy Campos's body paint and little else.
There were Jello shots, Deep Eddy Vodka cocktails, and a TX Whiskey station. Servers passed Carrabba's meatballs and Grace's boneless ribs; plus, Eloise Nichols Grill & Liquors manned a corner station, too.
Artists John Whaley, Angela Fabbri, and Daniel Elliott live-painted their silent auction offerings as the party swirled around them. Fortune-tellers, light installations, sculptors, screen printers, and photographers lined every wall.
When all was said and done, the over-the-top bash raised a record $200,000. Attendees built their own swag bags from a Candylicious, Popstontx, and Austin Eastciders exit buffet.
See? All treats, no tricks.

Covid-19 update: Client advice on what to do during the Coronavirus crisis
Vaccination ensures your pet's immune system learns to recognise and fight diseases
The vast majority of the diseases we vaccinate against have no cure. The treatment given to animals with these diseases is supportive to try to help the animal's immune system to overcome the illness.
Vaccination ensures your pet's immune system learns to recognise and fight these diseases as your pet comes into contact with them.
Your pet needs to have a booster vaccination every year as one vaccination does not provide lifelong cover.
Each time your pet comes into Grove Lodge Vets for a vaccination they will receive a thorough health check from the vet.
Dogs are vaccinated against:
Cats are vaccinated against:
Rabbits are vaccinated against:
Don't forget that your cat and dog vaccinations are included in the Grove Lodge Vets Pet Health Club!
Grove Lodge Vets is offering a free urine test for pets over 7 years of age when they come in for a vaccination. Older animals are commonly presented to the surgery with a variety of complaints that could have been avoided or treated if they were noted at an earlier stage.
If you bring in a fresh sample of your pet's urine when they are having a vaccination, we will test it for free. We do appreciate that sample collection can be difficult in some animals, but persevere! If you require any advice just give us a call.
Please complete the questionnaire below, thinking carefully about the answers you give, as they could highlight some potential problems. Do not hesitate to ask any questions with regard to your pet's health when you come in for your appointment. It is very useful if you bring in a fresh urine sample from your pet.

This week on the Tuesday Trade-Off, we are so thrilled to have Amy from Nap Time Crafters!
Take it away Amy…
Hi I'm Amy from Nap Time Crafters!
Stop on by and have a look around- I love meeting new friends!
I've been seeing a lot of subway art lately, so I decided to make one just for us. I had little miss in mind when coming up with some of these:)
Want to know the secret to making a gorgeous hand painted subway art???
- Vinyl and transfer paper
- Wood Plaque
- Paint
- Design: come up with your own rules or borrow ours. You can snag my SCAL file here
1. Cut out your design using an electronic cutter or a razor (if you're really really patient). Now peel out all of the letters, but leave the rest of the vinyl behind. Use your transfer paper to move it onto your plaque.
2. Decide on your colors and go to town with the paint. Let it dry for at least an hour- I'd recommend overnight to be safe.
3. Peel off the vinyl and enjoy! I had a few spots that didn't turn out perfect but I decided it just added to the look and left it as is. You could just use lots of different vinyl colors if you want, but I think the paint really makes it unique.
Now we just need to get everyone to follow them:)
we're doing great on tickling!
Thanks for having me!
Thanks Amy! You can find Amy and more of her great finds and projects on her blog, Nap Time Crafters!

All the days of the afflicted are evil,But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
When I was a teenager, I was already in a nasty battle with depression and anxiety that began in my childhood: The outcome of adolescent hormones and grief along with some unfortunate circumstances. I would become overwhelmed with everything wrong and I just couldn't seem to get a grip. My Grandma would ask me what was wrong, and as I began to list everything off she would quip back with scriptures like Proverbs 15:15, Proverbs 17:22, and many others. She would give examples that usually involved Polly Anna or Corrie Ten Boom. But most of all she reminded me of the promise that not only did she love me but so does a sovereign God that is on the throne.
Proverbs 15:15 - Raising Sticky Hands To Heaven" width="550" height="334" srcset="http://raisingstickyhands.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/All-the-days-of-the-afflicted-are-evil-But-he-who-is-of-a-MERRY-HEART-has-a-continual-feast.-Proverbs-1515-Raising-Sticky-Hands-To-Heaven-.jpg 550w, http://raisingstickyhands.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/All-the-days-of-the-afflicted-are-evil-But-he-who-is-of-a-MERRY-HEART-has-a-continual-feast.-Proverbs-1515-Raising-Sticky-Hands-To-Heaven--300x182.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" />
I'll be honest, sometimes I hated her encouragement. I wanted to sulk, cry, and vent. I always knew she was right, though. So I dried my tears and reminded myself of all the things she told me and go on with a smile on my face until the next "end of the world teenage crisis" would happen.
A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.
Proverbs 17:22
Just like every other truth that is written in the Bible, the many scriptures about having a merry heart hold a lot of weight. If we don't choose to be happy, even in the hard times, the negativity and darkness will overwhelm us and eventually lead to bitterness and extreme unhappiness. Without a merry heart, we see only the bad. But when we make that choice to be happy, no matter what, we are able to see the "sunny side" that the character Polly Anna talked so much about. With a merry heart, Corrie Ten Boom's sister, Betsie, was able to thank God for the fleas that kept the Nazi guards from coming into their sleeping barracks instead of crying about one more problem during a time of extreme torment where evil truly afflicted every part of their days.
Now that I am an adult and have continued this battle with depression and anxiety, I understand more of what my Grandma was saying. I have seen God's power in my life to know for certain that He is still on the throne. No matter how dark things may get, or how many nights are spent in tears, God is always in control. Even when it seems that there is no hope, I know that there is.
Does this mean that Christians should not seek medical help when things become unbearable? Not at all. By all means, if you need help, please get it. But it does mean that we should not focus on the evil around us. We should focus on the love of God, and rest in knowing that He will bring us through.
With a merry heart, we will strengthen and grow. The scripture is saying that with happiness we thrive. I am living proof. In fact, if I hadn't chosen joy quite a bit these last few weeks, I would certainly not be smiling today.
Remember back a few months ago? I posted about how I was going to start waking up early before the family to get our routine to run a little smoother?
Then Summer hit. Hard.
With Summer comes change for almost all families, but for ours, everything is completely different. My two older children are here from out of state, we only do unschooling, and we are very relaxed. Nothing bad, it's just quite a bit different than what we are used to during the school year. (Like that's a routine that isn't challenged and in need of reinventing? HA! 😉 )
Added into the equation this Summer was a series of events:
In the midst of all of this going on, the brief moments that I have had a chance to check twitter I've seen my friend Larri from Seams Inspired tweeting about Hello Mornings, and how great it was. Some days it intrigued me. One day, I'll be honest and tell you that I thought "Cheery Perky Morning People!!!" Other days I found myself craving it. Time with the Lord, to plan, and make my day right before it even begins? Definitely what I need.
My Grandma did this as I was growing up. The exact routine. Me, being young, I couldn't understand why she would give up the luxury of precious sleep to sit in a quiet house before anyone was awake just to read her Bible and make lists. And not even while still sitting in bed. She'd sit at the kitchen table. That's not cozy! I was baffled. I mean, seriously, couldn't she do that in the afternoon while I was playing outside or practicing piano?
Clearly, I get it now. And it's needed in my life. Desperately. Things are so far off kilter I don't even know where exactly to begin. But I have an opportunity to start from scratch. So here, this time, I'm going to start back the right way. With God first before anything else, alone with Him every morning. Before anyone wakes up, before the day begins. The only thing I'll do before I sit down with my Bible is… make a delicious cup of coffee.
Have you ever had to change up your morning routine? Or had a season that was a bit more chaotic than you thought it would be? How did it work out for you? Are you registered for Hello Mornings? Let me know if you've been there, going through it, or starting out just like me…
This is a recipe my Grandma was always asked to to take to potlucks, celebrations, and Christmas dinners. It is delicious! We often eat it for dinner through out the year, but ALWAYS have it on our Christmas table.
Grandma's Broccoli & Cheese Casserole
(She got the recipe from her sister Darlene…)
Mix all ingredients together. Place in casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
I usually double this recipe, which requires closer to 40-45 minutes.

Did you know that by clicking a web link, or opening an infected attachment in an email could destroy all the documents in your computer, as well as all the documents in your server?
We have solutions that we can quickly implement to filter all web traffic and scan all email for these infected items.
- Antivirus
Antivirus software runs on your computer to detect and clean in real-time any computer viruses. Viruses can be installed in your network via web browsing, email attachments, USB thumb drives, etc.
A server in our office is constantly monitoring all antivirus implementations. Updates are rolled out several times per day.
When a virus is detected on any computer on your network, we are notified immediately. In most cases, the threat is removed automatically. If for some reason we need to take further action, we will notify you and proceed accordingly.
- Malware
Malware is basically any unwanted software on your computer. These can be installed on accident by a user, or through computer viruses.
With proper scanning and monitoring, malware can either be prevented, or quickly remediated.
- Ransomware
This is the absolute worst type of malware. After the ransomware gets installed on your computer, it begins encrypting all your pictures, PDF files, Word and Excel documents, etc. with a level of encryption similar to what our government uses to secure files. Then, you get a message on your desktop demanding payment in order to receive the decryption code to recover your documents.
Without a proper backup, you can almost count on never seeing these files again.
- Firewall
A firewall is a device that separates your computer network from the rest of the internet. Without it, someone could browse the files on your server just like you can from your workstation.
- Internet Filtering
With our internet filtering options, we are able to protect your computer and your network from known treats and infected websites.
Also, we can either remove internet access from employees that do not need internet, or filter by category: porn, gambling, games, shopping, etc.
- Spam Filtering
How much time do you spend per day deleting unwanted email? With our spam filtering solution, you received a message at the end of the day with all the quarantined messages that were blocked due to being marked as spam. To release it, simply click 1 button and it appears in your inbox.
Not only are the spam messages blocked, but messages containing viruses, malware and the like are blocked and destroyed.
We also have solutions for encryption and archiving to maintain compliance with HIPPA, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc.

Gianni Parise Ph.D.
My research focuses on skeletal muscle growth and adaptation that requires the contribution of a unique population of cells known as muscle stems (or satellite cells).
In response to damage or stress, muscle stem cells become activated, proliferate, and fuse with muscle fibers to repair damaged tissue. These cells are controlled by a series of transcriptional networks, collectively referred to as the myogenic regulatory factors that govern the induction of these cells from quiescence through proliferation and into terminal differentiation. What remains poorly understood is precisely what environmental cues, released in the hours and days following exercise-induced muscle damage, and how these cues interact with satellite cells.
A related question, that is a focus of my laboratory, is what are the intracellular events that act downstream of these signals leading to the activation of the myogenic regulatory factors? My research activities in the PACE link with a second major focus of my laboratory—revealing the mechanism(s) underlying the progressive loss of muscle mass associated with aging. It has been shown that muscle growth (hypertrophy) is not possible without the contribution of a functional muscle stem cell population. By extension, it stands to reason that a loss of muscle mass with aging, and a blunted hypertrophic response to chronic exercise in older adults, is likely a result of age-related muscle stem cell dysnfunction and/or age-related loss of muscle stem cell number. My research program aims to examine potential age-related impairment of muscle stem cells, as well as the molecular and cellular events that lead to dysregulation of muscle stem cells in advanced age.

How very. Call your best friends and/or your worst enemies -- Heathers: The Musical is coming to New York, making its off-Broadway debut in spring 2014. The musical stage adaptation of Michael Lehmann's iconic 1988 dark comedy will get a limited engagement at New World Stages. Previews begin March 17, with opening night set for March 31. The announcement of the cross-country move comes as Heathers: The Musical wraps a sold-out engagement at the Hudson Backstage Theatre in Los Angeles. The show is based on Daniel Waters' screenplay for the feature film about a trio of Ohio high school mean girls and a rebel who refuses to adhere to the strict rules of their clique. Instead, she gravitates toward a loner who has his own devious plan to deal with the imperious A-listers. The cult favorite helped launch the careers of actors Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannen Doherty. Book, music and lyrics for the stage adaptation are written by Tony nominee Laurence O'Keefe (Legally Blonde) and Emmy winner Kevin Murphy (Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical, Desperate Housewives). Andy Fickman (Reefer Madness) directs the production, with choreography by three-time Emmy winner Marguerite Derricks (Behind the Candelabra, Bunheads). Producers of the off-Broadway run include J.

Senior Center Marks First Anniversary with Summer Celebration Day
July 31, 2015
by Lori Bowen, Hudson Senior Services Coordinator
The Hudson Senior Center recently turned one year old and, to celebrate the North Barn's anniversary, hosted a Celebration Day on July 27. There was a fabulous luncheon of ribs and chicken, potato salad, cole slaw and corn muffins as the sides. Raspberry iced tea was also served, and dessert was ice cream sandwiches. The noontime cookout was followed by humorist David Shikes telling jokes and sharing funny stories. Benes Konecny entertained everyone throughout the day playing his guitar and singing; he was joined in the afternoon by Paul Frechette on the harmonica. There were lawn games set up and bocce was a popular game among the seniors. The Hudson Senior Center is looking forward to an equally successful second year. Pick up your copy of the North News to find out what is happening at the Barn!
