"The course is a fantastic accompaniment to the book and helped me move strides ahead in my writing. I wasn't completely sure until my co-writer stopped me mid-structural-analysis of an episode of a comedy series and asked me which lesson of the course made me so good at analysing structure."
"This was a darn good course. It is very well structured and executed. In fact, I am amazed at how you have structured (pun intended) it. I loved every minute, even when I've banged my head bloody trying to do the assignments! I suffered from creativity depression for a long time, and this course got me out of it!"
"I've learned so much on the course and feel I understand what elements are required to make a story tick. And I've somehow absorbed those over the duration of this course to the point where they feel really natural and intuitive and I find myself watching movies and picking them out time after time."
"The Into the Woods course was enlightening. It was the first time that I've seen stories broken down into such logical, simple and easy-to-follow structures. Once you have mastered this knowledge, it's easy to apply it to other forms of writing, and I'm looking forward to using my new skills in my brand storytelling work."

As the initiation of the new pension reforms looms (6 April), the pensions industry is gearing up for the changes. But is enough being done to make access to pension pots and information simple and practical?
In a survey, Aegon
However, the research revealed that a move to digitise the pensions industry could help to improve knowledge. Of those asked, 85% said that having an online tool would boost their understanding, while another 61% said that they would like to be able to manage their pension savings online or via an app.
This would put the pensions industry on the same footing as the banking world, where 90% of respondents manage their day-to-day transactions online. Currently, however, only 23% of those questioned manage their pensions in the same way, despite a high number saying that they would like to.
Why the disparity? Well, this lack of engagement isn't necessarily due to apathy – 25% of respondents said that the biggest barrier to them managing their pensions online was because their pension provider simply doesn't offer this service.
"People want digital options that offer convenience and easy access but the industry has so far been slow to respond," commented David Macmillan, managing director at Aegon. "At a time when consumers are facing complicated and major decisions on what to do with their pension pots, it's our responsibility as an industry to provide support in the way people want. If we want to help the
The research clearly suggests that many are crying for an online solution to their pension management – and the industry is listening. The FCA has announced a long-term plan to introduce a 'pensions dashboard', which will enable consumers to view all of their pensions online in one place. However, this change is likely to be in the pipeline for quite some time.
If your pension provider doesn't currently offer an online tool for you to view and manage your pensions, then it is important to get as much information as you can through other means.
When you get a pension statement through the post, make sure you read it and take stock of what it says. You can also periodically contact your pensions provider for an update on your investments. This way, you can keep a close eye on that all-important pension pot.
It's also time to wise up about the pension changes. Contact Pension Wise for guidance and start to explore your options. Talking to an independent financial adviser is a smart move, and you can also use our annuity planner to get an idea of whether this is a good choice for you. Whatever you do, don't stay in the dark about your pension and the new reforms – this way, you will be fully prepared for when the new freedoms are in force.

"What's the quickest way for me to lose weight?"
This varies from client to client and there tend to be very few 'quick fixes' that are healthy and sustainable. To understand the best way for any client to lose weight I need to find out lots of information. It's important that I understand what you're currently doing in terms of exercise and what you've done in the past. I need to look at your current diet and understand how you think about your body, exercise and food. Once I know a bit more about you, we can work together to develop a plan that will help you lose weight and also create balance in your training through improving your fitness, strength and core stability.
"What should I look for in a trainer?"
Always ensure that they are qualified, experienced, reliable, approachable and insured. If you're in any doubt, ask to see the relevant documentation. Check that they come with recommendations, you are totally within your rights to ask for proof. Any good trainer will have testimonials and should have clients who you can talk to. Most importantly make sure that you are comfortable together, ask if they are happy to meet before you commit to spending any money.
"Does personal training help with depression?"
There's lots of evidence that proves exercise can help with depression. The higher intensity exercises like jogging, running, rowing or kettlebells can help your body to release feel-good hormones, while lower intensity exercises like Pilates can help you relax and connect with your body. Depression can also be improved with the right nutritional plan.
"My wedding is in three months and I need to fit into my dress, what's the best option for me?"
I'd suggest that you take advantage of my free consultation, at this point we can chat through your goals in detail. It might be a good option to consider a four-week fitness blitz. We'll meet three times a week and work on exercise, mindset and nutrition, with weekly goals to keep you on track.
"You encourage balance through training, but what if I just want to lose weight?"
I always encourage my clients to think outside the box in terms of weight loss. Being healthy, fit and happy is not just about losing weight. I know this because I've seen it so often with past and current clients. I promote balance in training through a combination of exercise, changing the way you think, nutrition and realistic planning. This approach will give you so much more in the long term than just 'losing weight'.
"I had a trainer at my gym who was aggressive in his style, he pushed me really hard and in the end it felt like hard work and I didn't want to go. How are you different?"
My clients tell me that I'm friendly and approachable, which is a good start. I work on the basis that encouragement is better than intimidation. I also treat each client individually and take time to understand their likes/dislikes at the start of our relationship. For some an aggressive style and being pushed will work well, while others may respond better to a slower pace through a more gentle style of coaching. What's important is that you get the right plan for you, which can only be achieved with a flexible trainer.
"I work full time and have children, how can I fit personal training into my life?"
Firstly I would encourage you to speak to those close to you to see if anyone can help you for an hour or two a week. You also need to think about how well you are using the time you have. Are you as effective as you could be at planning? Could you save ten minutes here and there to give you an hour two or three times a week? Also ensure you choose a trainer who offers flexible training times, for example I offer weekday sessions as early as 7am and as late as 8pm, I also offer Saturday sessions.
"I like the idea of balance in my training. I understand that you use a combination of exercises to improve fitness, strength and core stability. What can I expect?"
Expect your coaching to vary week on week. As you grow and develop, so will your coaching. I will challenge your body by integrating cardio, strength and core training.
During cardio vascular fitness training we'll focus on improving your fitness by developing your body's energy transport system. This will result in a more efficient, healthy body with the added benefit of weight loss should this be your goal. Expect a mix of interval training, treadmill, outdoor running, Concept 2 rowing and boxing/kickboxing.
Your strength and conditioning training will work towards improving your overall strength, mobility and flexibility as well as coaching form and technique. Expect to use a combination of TRX, vibration training, kettlebells, Olympic lifting and circuits.
Core stability work will develop good posture, flexibility, alignment and balance. Expect a mix of Pilates, TRX, kettlebells, Olympic lifts and stability ball work.
"I struggle with motivation and have very little budget. What can I do?"
You might like to consider training with a friend or family member. Training together will save you money and if you choose the right partner this programme can help with motivation and results.

Weight Loss Drug Contrave Receives Positive Feedback From Clinical Studies
Food Addiction
Scientists and drug companies are still hard at work searching for a magic weight loss pill. So far they have had about as much success as a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest, but they have made some headway.
A product called Contrave has been introduced by Orexigen Therapeutics Inc. as the best and brightest future star of new prescription weight loss products.
Contrave is the first weight loss drug to combine an anti-depression and smoking cessation drug called bupropion with naltrexone, which is prescribed to fight alcohol and opiate addiction.
How Contrave Works
Rather than working to increase metabolism, Contrave aims to block cravings in the brain's craving-reward system. Since the reward is not targeted, users are able to avoid decreased enjoyment from activities like sex and exercise. 10 points for Contrave!
Basically, Contrave battles your addiction to food. Specifically the comfort junk food you eat at 10pm while watching TV on the couch.
Other successful weight loss drugs, such as Meridia, act in a similar manner. Meridia enhances the brain signals that make you feel satisfied, thus acting as a appetite suppressant.
The Contrave Studies
Recently, in clinical trials, Contrave actually exceeded the US Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) standards for classifying a 'successful' weight loss drug. FDA standards require a 5 percent weight loss in at least one third of the study group.
Contrave also exceeded the expectation that weight loss of 5 percent of body weight should be experienced by twice as many of the patients using the drugs as patients using the placebo.
Over 3,000 people participated in the study although 40 percent dropped out before the end of the trial. Why did they drop out? The studies don't say.
Junk Food Cravings
The results were promising, as over half of the subjects lost more than 5 percent of their body weight, and on average they lost 8 percent of their body weight (roughly 17 pounds) in year.
The placebo group lost only an average of 1 percent in that year.
In addition, the ratio of people who lost at least 5 percent of their body weight for subjects using the drug versus subject taking the placebo, was 3 to 1.
Sounds promising so far, but 5 percent of bodyweight in one year isn't that great. I can lose 5 percent of my bodyweight in about 2 months.
An Expert Opinion
Dr. Dennis Kim, an assistant professor of medicine at University of California, San Diego. and senior VP of Communications & Medical Affairs at Orexigen Therapeutics Inc. reflected on the studies:
"This is the first drug, that I know of, that addressed the craving issue. We have clearly cleared the hurdle, the efficacy benchmark, it's of course the FDA's judgment to see if it passes for safety."
Contrave Studies Also Receive Some Neutral Feedback
Of course, studies like these always have their naysayers. Dr. David Katz, expert in obesity and associate professor of Public Health at Yale University thought the Contrave results were consistent with other weight loss drugs. Dr. Katz commented:
"I have limited enthusiasm for pharmacotherapy to manage weight, and these results certainly don't change my view on the topic. The results are promising, although certainly less than dazzling.
Perhaps the single uniquely promising element here is that Contrave is a combination of two drugs long in use for other purposes, and thus likely to be at least relatively safe."
Dr. Katz was skeptical about the potential of Contrave based on the long-term side effects of other weight loss drugs. He notes:
"Weight is regulated by many pathways, and to date, efforts to turn off appetite along one pathway have resulted in compensation in others."
The reaction of the director of the nutrition clinic at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, N.Y., Keith Ayoob, was merely lukewarm:
"This drug seems to have an edge on the others out there. It appears to have met the FDA criteria and there is a reasonable amount of weight loss over a year's time.
However, let's keep real about this. Fifty six weeks is a long time to lose only 5 percent of [body] weight. For a 200 pound person that amounts to 10 pounds in a year.
It's good, no question, and better than placebos, but I wouldn't want people thinking this is some sort of miracle."
Ayoob also notes that people often become obese by overeating for other reasons, both psychological and physiological, not just because they crave junk food.
Sounds to me like this drug will be great for people who can't moderate their diets, but has little potential for other causes of obesity. Willpower in a pill, if you will.
Some Overweight People Just Lack Willpower
Side Effects of Contrave
The first 3 common side effects are not at all alarming, while the 2 most serious side effects each only occurred in one person:
- nausea
- constipation
- headache
- one person had a gall bladder infection
- one person had seizures
Those short-term side effects are not bad, all things considered. The jury is still out on long-term sides.
With FDA standards satisfied, Orexigen will attempt to file for FDA approval of Contrave by 2010, although approval is not guaranteed.
Even if Contrave is not approved, doctors and scientists believe that this particular approach could become a trend in the treatment of obesity. They believe that drugs like Contrave, which target multiple areas, are the future of obesity treatment.
This type of treatment has additional health advantages:
- patients feel less grumpy
- lower LDL cholesterol
- lower triglycerides
- less visceral fat
- smaller waists
- better control of blood glucose levels, which is useful for diabetics
Contrave will likely be a long term solution based on the FDA's request for 52 week trials. This will probably be a chronic-use drug that is prescribed to patients for several years, if not a lifetime.
It is probably that Contrave users will not be able to get off Contrave without reversing the weight loss brought on by the drug.
There are still some unanswered questions about Contrave, which cause Doctors to feel skeptical about the drug. Doctors will likely remain pessimistic until the following questions can be answered:
- What will happen if patients take the drug for a long period of time?
- What happens when patients stop using the drug?
- Will patients regain lost weight?
- What are the long term side effects of using these drugs?
Patients with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes will probably benefit most from this drug, as the added weight loss can help control those problems.
Folks without any willpower can probably use this to curb their cravings, but it remains to be seen if Contrave can conquer real comfort food binging.
Please don't hand over your money to big pharma while the jury is still out. Anyone remember Fen-Phen?

"Thumbnails are a cool tool.....
As artists we tend to start with a single idea, sketch it, refine it, and polish it You invest your time and feelings into one concept and become attached to it, and it becomes harder to engage with other ideas. For most of us the first sketch will be generic and heavily influenced. Even if we make several initial sketches we have often already decided in our minds that the first is the best, and the others are just fill-ins to make up the numbers.
The more variation in sketching, the more critical comparisons you can make.
You don't need to spend much time on this! Often you only need an hour or so to generate a variety of basic ideas.
This advice from Designshack is spot-on, you may recognise yourselves here!
Cool It on the Details, Picasso
Some of you out there are sketch artists. You're never happier than when you have a pencil in your hands. Others are truly horrid with a pencil and can't produce a decent sketch to save your life.
For the first time ever, the latter of these two groups might actually have an easier time! If you can't draw, great, you're perfect for creating thumbnail sketches. Talented artists tend to have trouble with the idea of going fast and not really fleshing concepts out. It's often the case that artists spend more time generating fewer thumbnails simply because they can't help but make sure every line is straight, every circle is perfect, etc.
Just remember the key at this step is quantity over quality….just make sure that you remember that your goal is to get all of those ideas out of your head and onto paper. For example, if you can draw a box and later remember that it represents your headline, then skip the laborious lettering.
Keep Moving Forward
Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid spending lots of time tweaking an idea to get it just right. If you start sketching one of your ideas and realize that you hate it, resist the urge to erase it and start over. Simply trudge through it and move onto your next idea. Maybe in a few hours you'll look back on that sketch and see a solid idea in there.

Maybe in a few hours you'll look back on that sketch and see a solid idea in there.
When faced with the task of producing so many thumbnails, your first instinct will be to start several tiny variations of the same idea. This is often a worthless practice when compared to the value of focusing on truly unique concepts. Try your best and push your brain to produce concepts that are as different from each other as you can manage. Remember that this is the brainstorming stage so there aren't any bad ideas. Go crazy, think outside of the box; be weird!
From here, you simply let the ideas flow. This is not a practice for honing your drawing skills, instead your focus should be on idea generation. Thumbnail sketching is quick and perhaps even somewhat sloppy. Use basic shapes and don't spend too long on a single image, as soon as you can get a feel for what that basic layout idea might look like, move along.

Grandmaster Yip Man's lather, that is, my grandfather, was named 0/ Doh. He was in fact brought up in a family of generations of merchants. My grandfather himself once ran a shop in Hong Kong. My grandmother, then known as Madame Ng, was praised for being a helpful wife and a good mother. Anyway, the Yip family in Futshan was a famous and influential family. The inherited large farmyard was situated at a newly rebuilt avenue, called the Fuk Yin Avenue, literally meaning Avenue of Happiness and Scholarship. The homesteads of the Yip family occupied a large area, with two symctrical rows of large old fashioned houses, amounting to not fewer than twenty in number lining along the two sides of the avenue, at exactly the site of the present Municipal Government House. The ancestral temple of the Yip clan was situated at the centre of the homestead. It was in this ancestral temple that the great Grandmaster Chan Wah Shun, the renowned Wing Tsun practitioner, had for quite a long period resided, when he admitted disciples and taught them skills of the Wing Tsun Style. Among the students of Grandmaster Chan Wah Shun, there was one, by the name of Yip Man, who for the first time in his life learnt Wing Tsun skills in the ancestral temple of his family.

The Mass and Theology of the Body
One of the many things that I love about the Catholic Mass is the way that it uses our whole bodies. It is such a multi-sensory experience.
Touch. We walk into the church and bless ourselves with the holy water, reminding ourselves of our baptism. We shake hands with our neighbor during the sign of peace.
Smell. The sweet smell of incense reminds us of Jesus. The smoke and smell rise to heaven as do our prayers.
Sight. We see Jesus on the crucifix, reminding us that He died for our sins. We see the beauty of the stain glass, icons, and statuary.
Hearing. We listen to the Word. We hear the entire Bible during the Mass (with the exception of some of the genealogies) for every 3-year cycle.
Speech. We praise God with our voices through prayer and song.
Taste. The Eucharist. Just as Jesus commands us in John 6, we eat His Body and drink His Blood.
The Church, in its infinite wisdom, shows us through the Mass how to praise God through our bodies. Radically cool.

6 Best Sugar Substitutes
Author: Alyce Cimino Date Posted:27 June 2017
Sugar, a five letter word which is on everyone's lips of late. With years of research we have learnt that that we should all be consuming a little less of the unfriendly refined sugars such as high fructose corn syrup as well as monitoring our daily sugar intake to improve our overall health and wellbeing.
The key to learning about sugar replacements is, always choose the most natural source (less refined) and organic where possible. It's also important to note, while these suggestions may be a replacement, moderation is key - too much sugar, even alternatives isn't always a good thing.
These little wrinkly sweet gems are bursting with flavour, naturally high in fibre and nutrients. They can be added into smoothies or raw treats, just be cautious as while they are a fruit they are high in fruit sugars which is sometimes overlooked. Aim for no more than 1 – 2 dates every couple of days and always choose fresh dates, sometimes sugar is added to dried dates and these little gems are sweet enough without the extra added sugar.
Nature's nectar, honey has been found to contain trace amounts of Vitamins and Minerals. It is also suggested that honey has a lower Glycaemic Index (GI) compared to other sugar alternatives. There are many different forms of honey and as with all sweeteners the less refined the better. Raw honey has a higher nutrient profile when compared to the runny light coloured watery honey.
Maple Syrup:
Dripped straight from the tree and into our kitchens, maple syrup has a delicious taste and texture that you can use in your baking recipes. Always read the label here and check its 100% organic maple syrup and not maple-flavoured syrup, as it is not uncommon for marketing to play a trick here. There are different grades of maple syrup which can explain the different price points and different colours. What helps maple syrup stand out is that it also contains some minerals and antioxidants.
Coconut Nectar:
Made from the sap of coconut flowers, coconut nectar has been found to have a low Glycaemic Index (GI) and a delicious amino acid profile, plus vitamins and minerals. Coconut nectar is relatively low in fructose and is higher in sucrose making it a nice alternative for people with fructose sensitives.
Coconut Sugar:
One of the biggest appeals of coconut sugar is its lower Glycaemic Index (GI), meaning that it shouldn't give you a such big surge of energy and then a drop after a couple of hours as other sugars do. It has been suggested that coconut sugars lower GI level is due to the levels of fibre called inulin. Coconut sugar has been found to be high in fructose and should be considered when picking an alternative. Coconut sugar is darker in colour compared to raw sugar and has a delicious earthy taste.
It looks like sugar, can be used in cooking the same as sugar but xylitol is rather different. While Xylitol is refined (from natural fruits and vegetables) it has a very different nutritional profile to standard raw sugar. It has a much lower calorie count, has a very low GI, doesn't spike blood glucose levels and often well tolerated. Research has also found that xylitol is much better for our teeth when compared to its cousin – sugar. In cooking you can replace the sugar 1:1 and still have delicious results. A little side note: Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs.
Sugar really can be too much of a good thing – even the alternatives. Sugar has been linked to obesity, diabetes, weight gain, learning difficulties and poor concentration in children and can interfere with our blood glucose levels. Always aim for a balanced and healthy diet full of fresh and seasonal vegetables.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
A muslim traveler arrived at the court of a Pious King, he informed the king as to how his people were being oppressed by a tyrant, he begged the King for assistance. The King being deeply moved, ordered a battalion to be sent, The Commander put in charge was the Kings oldest son the Prince.
A few weeks later news arrived that the Muslims had been defeated, and that the Prince who was in charge of the forces, had actually abandoned his own troops and was killed fleeing from battle.
The King was deeply grieved,and felt humiliated, not only were the troops defeated but his son had committed a grave sin by fleeing from the battle,and therefore dying an accursed death. He went and informed the Queen as to what had happened. The Queen replied " Do not be grieved, for the news you heard is untrue. The King said "The entire Kingdom is talking about it,and I have received news from the front line confirming you're sons cowardly demise, woman you seem to be blinded by Motherly love." Saying this the King angrily marched away.
However a few days later a messenger arrived confirming the Queens belief, the Prince with his forces had defeated the enemy. The earlier news had been enemy propaganda.
The King being very overjoyed and surprised, asked the Queen how she had been so certain that the earlier news had been false. She said " Oh my beloved, it was not motherly love that caused me to deny that story. When our son was a child, before I used to breast feed him I would do Wudu ,and as he was suckling I would recite the Darood Ibrahimi. I had firm conviction that a child who had drank milk, that had the sacred names of the Prophet Muhammad (saw), and his father Ibrahim(Alaihi Salaam) recited with it. Could not betray his deen."

An Amazing Adventure
Reflections of a great trip to Israel taken under the leadership of Assistant Pastor Paul Miller of Tabernacle Baptist Church
May 26, 2017
submitted by Susan Wellman and Christine Gentile
Most children's stories begin with "Once Upon a Time" and end with "Happily Ever After." Thirteen people recently went on a trip through the pages of a book where every episode was packed with real-life people and places and where the drama of those episodes was life changing. This was a trip for all ages (to Israel) which included three generations of one family, three pastors from area churches, five teenage young women and a kindergarten teacher. Over 11 days in late April, they lived through the pages of the greatest story ever told, the Bible.
Their story begins with two different departure flights covering over 5,000 miles to reach the first chapter of their experience as they arrived in Tel Aviv. The first chapter in their story was spent in the village of Joppa and on to the Bahá'í Gardens which overlooked a truly beautiful city full of magnificent structures. Another chapter in their journey's story was spent in the scorching heat on a fishing boat on the Sea of Galilee where many thought about the 12 fishermen they knew by name who had been there decades ago.
There were times when the views of rock walled canyons in Jordan and gigantic waterfalls in East Jerusalem were immense and breathtaking. Another chapter in their episode will include a reminder of the great endurance required to make the sweaty full day climb up Mt. Masada (temperatures reached 105 one day) where the view from the top was magnificent. Additional chapters include a mud bath in the Dead Sea and an hour-long "bouncy" ride through the Jordanian Desert on the back of a "very high camel."
The visit to the Holocaust History Museum was deeply indebted into the mind of each traveler. It will always remain a very emotional, bone-chilling experience when this chapter of their story is revisited. It's hard to put into words the agonizing things people in the camps and ghettos had to endure. The extremely small rations of food and water made survival excruciatingly difficult, but the horrific scenes of killings of men, women and children right before their eyes added to their overwhelming pain.
Another emotional chapter of the journey was the heart-pounding moment spent viewing the Garden Tomb where it is believed their Savior and ours may have lain. Also, the visit to the Garden of Gethsemane where the Master had prayed in deep agony for each of them so long ago gathering strength to complete the journey set before Him, was a time for deep reflection and feelings of humbled gratitude by each traveler.
And oh, they won't ever forget the dry, dirt roads and paths on which they daily walked and how dirty feet can actually get! In moments of deep reflection one could imagine the sandaled feet of the many people who had personally walked these very roads with the Savior. Considering the joy it must have been to have his personal attention, makes the instruction he left us in his word, his story, so much more precious.
Another advantage of walking was that it was often far less hazardous than the 20-person van rides taken along cliff-edged roads and around never-ending curves. The people met along the way, going about the business of their daily lives, was also a real treat!
This place of adventure was not a fairytale land and story. This was a journey over rough terrain and through aged buildings where the Messiah had spoken with his people and each traveler rejoiced to be there. A special chapter in the journey was to the seashore where the Apostle Peter may very well have cast out his fishing nets and brought in a great haul. One could almost smell the smoke and taste the fish frying on the embers as these men would have sat together to eat on the shore and be taught by the Master.
One of the last chapters of their journey was the experience of a watery trek on foot through Hezekiah's Tunnel where the water was often waist deep and the tunnel was darker than night.
There were numerous hours of exploration of churches and buildings whose architecture was exquisite and the countryside impeccably clean. A walk through the red sands of the desert brought our travelers to the home of the Bedouins where all enjoyed the experience of eating a dinner of chicken and vegetables which had been cooked in holes in the ground for several hours. The meal was shared with strangers they barely knew but ended with friendships they will never forget. Those who went on this journey left a part of themselves with these people and in these places.
Another special chapter would include the day spent visiting with fellow Christians in the town of Bethlehem at the church of Pastor Naim Kury where the journeying pastors opened the Bible, the real-life account of Christ, and shared His words. Preaching and teaching in the Master's native land was more than mere speaking, it was touched by the impact of the life of whom they spoke, their Master, their Messiah, their Lord. The experience was truly amazing! As one of our travelers put it, "we shared the same heart, experienced the same love and were instantly united."
The numerous hours of walking through vineyards and desert terrain throughout the country of Israel were incredible. The hillsides where Jesus would have sat and spoken with his people were beautiful to look upon and often breathtaking. The chapter in their journey where they experienced the celebration of Independence Day alongside these very stoic people was both humbling and heart-piercing. They are a proud people with a beautiful land and heritage to protect.
This book of written words, the Bible, is for all ages and all times, and this group walked through its pages. It has a "happily ever after" for each of us as we read, understand, and accept the great gift of salvation the Messiah provided for each.
The pictures taken were far too numerous to share, but a few special photos are included for your enjoyment. lf you want to know more about the writer of this book, come visit us. Just like the friendliness of the people our travelers encountered, you will encounter a warm welcome at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Litchfield. We encourage you to come and meet the author of this incredible book, the Bible. Like these travelers returning home from their trip of a lifetime, this is a journey well worth taking.

74 Entries for "towers"
I built my tower,
Higher, higher.
I reached for the sun.
But then, you pulled out
One brick from under me.
I was angry, I fought you, I hated you.
And I fell,
but my anger faded away,
As I realized my wings had been melting.
So I flew to you,
Using wings I'd forgotten,
And together we kept each other
From flying too close to the sun.
Leading, over the top of my head. It is ridgity is cold and fierce. I look at the glass doors and see me breath glazing over my reflection. Ready for this?
Bright and historical as tales say. Glowing in the canal, the wind is light and breezy.
towers towers everywhere
Falling falling
despair despair,
Its them who did it they point fingers and blame
but dont they know its all a game
fame riches and a great big flame
i dont know much about towers but they gave me 60 seconds to write about towers so im writing something and its not much because i dont know much thanks for the test though its not much help giving me a word i know nothing about.
My mind was once one of creativity, allowing me to soar above into the clouds, allowing me to feel tall, like the towers and skyscrapers below. Now I have nothing left. I feel dry and parched, like weeds, having nothing to offer the garden of my mind.
Towers have different meanings in different context. Towers are meant to be high, rather too high.
You build towers. Where either people work or live.
there are long towers with lonely people living inside it. they stand in these towers looking outside of the window. Their childhood flashes in front of them. within the tower are ebclosed memories,desires and wished of millo
the towers are where the secret are held, no more views from here only secrets. many have come to seek them but have found that is better left alone
I have vertigo, so whenever I look down I feel like I need to throw up. It's embarrassing. Last time we were in New York at a party, there I was clutching a cocktail when I got a glimpse of how high we were on the roof. Barf city. All over the poor waiter's hors d'oeuvre tray.
The twin towers of New York City. They were majestic. They were tourist attractions. They were where thousands of people worked every day. And after Sept. 11, 2001, they came crumbling down: a symbol of what was and what will now forever be. While rebuilding efforts to recreate the to
Towers are things that we go in and they are really tall, like the twin towers and then, well you know what happend. That was a sad moment in time.
I have climbed a tower before, and I cried because i was scared of heights
The towers were very very tall. They were said to be interconnected near the top by a glass bridge. They took over 2 years.
The towers that were being built were said to be the tallest in the world when it was done. It was being built in New York City.
Towers are very tall buildings that are usually very nice and sometimes are used as office buildings.
Welcome back to the towers of anxiety. Slowed function. Unproductivity. Somewhere else in the world, it's tomorrow, and here, it's yesterday. To fly from there to here is to travel back in time, but at least normalcy will be restored.
I was so bored i made a whole city of towers out of legos. i made some 20 blocks high and some 10-15 blocks high. I made them out of silver blocks and flat clear pieces for the windows.
And they came upon the towers. Standing high upon the hill– two ancient sentinels berated by the ages. For once, neither had words. All their arguments, all their joy filled evenings faded away, replaced with that image of the hilltop.
Blue and cold, reaching far above us. They are designed to look welcoming, with their bright, industrial metal and glass. But all I see is sharp smiles reflecting off of windows, hiding behind blinding light.
You toppled towers by confessing to me. A whole circle of them, some memories, some fantasies, some metaphors. The foundations ripped straight out.

Govinda Das Kaviraj has written this song "Dekhalu Gaurangacandra Vibhora". This song is taken from the book Padavali. In this song, Govinda Das Kaviraj describes the beauty and compassion of Sri Krsna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu whose form is splendid, enchanting, handsome, sweet and graceful and who frees everyone from the bonds of repeated birth and death.
dekhalu gaurangacandra bibhora
kali-yuga kalusa-timira-ghora-nasaka
nabadwipa canda ujora
gaura barana tanu sohana mohana
sundara madhura su-thama
anupama aruna kirana jini ambara
sundara caru bayana
bhabahi bhoraghora duhum locana
mocana bhaba-nada-bandha
naba naba prema-bharabara tanu sundara
uyala bhakata gana sanga
lahu lahu hasa bhasa mrdu bolata
sohata gati ati manda
dina jane nija bija saba de-i tarala
bancita dasa gobinda
(Refrain) I saw Lord Gaurangacandra. Now I am overcome. Lord Gaura is a splendid moon rising in Navadvipa, a moon that destroys the horrible darkness of Kali-yuga's sins.
(1) His complexion is fair. His form is splendid, enchanting, handsome, sweet, and graceful. His garments defeat the peerless rising sun. His face is handsome and graceful.
(2) His eyes are restless with ecstatic spiritual love. He frees everyone from the bonds of repeated birth and death. His graceful form is overcome with newer and newer ecstatic spiritual love. He stays amongst the devotees.
(3) He gently smiles. He speaks sweet words. His slow movements are graceful. Giving them the seed of ecstatic spiritual love, He delivers the poor fallen people. Only Govinda dasa He did not deliver. Only Govinda dasa was cheated.

Vegan Planet Guest Blogger
In keeping with the Vegan Planet theme, I thought it would be interesting to occasionally feature posts from vegans around the world. My first guest blogger is Lochlain Lewis, a vegan currently working in Afghanistan. Here is his post:
Eating Vegan in Afghanistan
We walk the short distance to the Afghan Security Guard compound for our weekly dinner invitation. Upon entering the small room most of us remove our footwear. A slender man comes in and rolls out a six foot mat on the floor. He scurries in and out carrying plates until there is no more room on the mat. It is now covered with dishes of rice, raw and cooked vegetables, falafel, meat, and flat bread. To be a good host is the mark of a good Afghan. They love that we sit with them on the floor around the mat, crossed legged or with one leg turned under with the other knee pulled up to one's chest. In this setting with so many people sitting around the mat, they don't notice that I'm not eating the meat.
I'm beginning to pick up the technique of eating rice by packing it with two fingers and thumb, and lifting it to my mouth without tilting back my head. My favorite rice has a nutty flavor nearly like Indian pilaf. It's cooked with baby grapes that lend a tanginess to the rice. I pull a piece of the flatbread from the round next to me and, cupping it between my finger and thumb, I press it into the falafel patty. Its subtle spiced flavor contrasts well with the sautéed cabbage. Tomato slices as red and ripe as I've ever seen line the edge of a plate of green onions. The Afghan fare is what most of us would consider rustic. But it is in the simplicity that I find its true enjoyment.
At the close of the meal, green tea is served. They pour a small amount of locally grown granular sugar in the bottom of a glass mug and pour the steaming tea over it. The conversation floats like steam rising from our tea. Dinner concludes with handshakes all around and the occasional hand to the heart. Such hospitality is an oasis in an otherwise unforgiving terrain.
—Lochlain Lewis

Having written 17 vegan and vegetarian cookbooks, I've always enjoyed answering questions from readers about the recipes in my books and vegan and vegetarian cooking in general. I hope to continue to do that through this blog.
But, first, some news… As the New Year dawns, I'm happy to announce the recent publication of my newest book, Vegan Fire & Spice: 200 Sultry and Savory Global Recipes.

Arianna Huffington: Rep. Bachmann Was a 'Colorful Distraction'
Below you can find some of the notable comments made Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Our powerhouse roundtable guests included former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to President George W. Bush Karl Rove, Bloomberg TV contributor and former Obama White House senior adviser David Plouffe, editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group Arianna Huffington, PBS' "Washington Week" moderator and managing editor Gwen Ifill, Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot, ABC News global affairs anchor Christiane Amanpour, TIME International editor Bobby Ghosh and vice president of new initiatives at the Woodrow Wilson Center Aaron David Miller.
Huffington says Rep. Bachmann, a 'colorful distraction,' can continue to 'grandstand' outside of Congress
HUFFINGTON: But what is interesting, is that basically, like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann was a sort of colorful distraction. She had no legislative record. She didn't really do anything in the House that she cannot do outside the House. A lot of her career was based on grandstanding. So she can continue doing that.
Christiane Amanpour on Syria's Civil War, considers it a 'huge humanitarian catastrophe'
AMANPOUR: A year ago, President Clinton, former President Clinton, a year ago, when there were 10,000 dead in Syria, said that the longer we leave this, the worse it will be and the more bad actors will come in.
Now, 80,000 people dead. In one year that's 70,000 people who've been killed. There is a huge humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Syria beyond our eyes, because we can see it. And this is what is happening right now. And the bad actors are in there, both on the rebels' side and Assad's side, Hezbollah and Iran.
Huffington outraged by 'gulag' like system of detention and deportation
HUFFINGTON: But also we need some accountability, David, because right now, this goes right against what the - what the president professes to believe in, that detention and deportation system, it is an absolute nightmare for families. It's a bit like a gulag.
Gigot finds the link between IRS and Holder scandals, it's 'coercive power of the state'
GIGOT: The common theme here - the common theme here between the IRS scandals and the Holder problems is the coercive power of the state. That is - the president has been trying to redefine government in a benign way, expanded it and say, you know what, it's really good for you. Well, sometimes it can be but often, it comes with a punch in the jaw. It comes with coercive power. That's what happened in both of these cases.

Great news! The government has announced that it will spend £300m on music education hubs over the next four years, maintaining current levels of central investment.
The funding, which will continue to be administered by Arts Council England, will support the hubs' work with schools, local authorities and community organisations. £75m had already been announced for the current year.
Our Team Leader, Dan Somogyi says: 'This is great news for young people, schools and the music education sector as a whole, and the Government should be congratulated for committing a significant amount of new resources for the period 2017-20. It gives music education hubs and their partners a mandate to start planning long term initiatives which could make a real difference to music education for young people over a three year period.
However, there is still a degree of uncertainty regarding the nature and terms of the latter two years of the funding settlement (for the 2018-20 period). We would therefore urge DfE and Arts Council to clarify the procedure and conditions for this period as soon as possible, so that music education hubs can develop their plans accordingly and with some certainty.'

Wrinkles are quite familiar yet embarrassing phenomenon of skin. Some wrinkles are common as they form with the aging process of skin. Premature or excess wrinkles are after effects of prolong sun burn, excessive stress or weight reduction programs. In modern dermatological process, wrinkles are tried to be removed by laser and cosmetic surgeries. Now we are trying to provide you some natural processes to work out; let help yourself with some natural wrinkle remedy.
Nature has supplied what we are looking for in times of need and when we have knowledge about it, we can find our own solution at home. Let have a look among your daily commodities to find out some natural wrinkle remedy.
Mashed potato as natural wrinkle remedy
Wrinkles primarily cause due to inner dryness of skin. The first thing you have to do to prevent dryness of skin is to supply adequate moisture into the skin. Potatoes are the most available ingredient in your home and fortunately contain enough natural moisture to soften skin.
- Take several potatoes and boil them in water unless it becomes softened.
- Mash the boiled potatoes and add some milk cream with it.
- Massage the mixture properly in your skin especially upon the surface in which wrinkles are already visible.
- Milk cream is high in moisture and tends to make your skin greasy; so those who have problems of acne may avoid applying milk cream in facial area.
- Milk cream itself work as a natural wrinkle remedy in case of dry skin.
- If your skin is typically dry in nature, massage milk cream in every alternate day.
Powdered pulse and sour curd as natural wrinkle remedy
Powdered pulses (you can find it in grocery shop) are widely used in Indian culture as beauty pack. Powdered pulse does not only clean but also tan your skin naturally.
- Mix necessary amount of sour curd with it so that it become a thick paste;
- Apply all over your face and neck with a brush (a foundation brush can serve the purpose);
- Leave it for twenty minutes;
- Wash the skin with lukewarm water first;
- Lastly wash away with cool water properly.
Banana face pack as natural wrinkle remedy
Ripe bananas are rich in vitamins, minerals and anti – oxidants that protect the skin from wrinkles and fine lines.
- Mash two ripe bananas into thick paste. Apply over the whole wrinkled area and the surrounding;
- Adding some honey with the banana paste will increase the level of moisture and minerals of this pack;
- Leave it for at least 20 to 30 minutes;
- Wash with lukewarm water first and then cool water.
Correction of diet and drinking a lot of water on daily basis will help to protect skin from randomly formed wrinkles. Water will moisten the inner level of your skin which prevents dryness. Dry skin tends to get flaky and in the end form wrinkles.

Nursing is a demanding field no matter what area of medicine one is in, but if you are the type of person who thrives off of adrenaline and high stress situations, emergency nursing might present a challenge you can rise to. Emergency nurses provide initial care and assess patients in serious conditions, as well as deal with patients in critical phases of trauma that have yet to be diagnosed. When coming upon an emergency situation, they never know what type of condition they will find their patients in, so they have to be able to handle a wide variety of emergency situations. Since they get to a patient before the doctor does, they must not only have the ability to recognize life threatening problems, but also the knowledge to treat them.
Emergency nurses work in fast-paced environments and must be flexible as they will find themselves in ever-changing settings. Since they work in such high-stress situations, it is important that they possess the ability to remain calm and are able to provide consolation to patients during times of uncertainty. Emergency nurses are needed in a variety of medical facilities, such as urgent care centers, emergency departments, poison control centers, and can even work at sporting events and concerts. Like most nurses, emergency nurses work long shifts on rotating days of the week, usually on nights and weekends, adding up to at least 40 hours per week.
If you want a job that is in high demand, you should consider emergency nursing. With emergencies occurring constantly at any time and any place, this is one area of nursing that is not slowing down.
To begin you career, you must first earn an associate's degree and become a licensed registered nurse.
You must then pass the Certified Emergency Nurse Exam, which assesses how well you are able to apply medical knowledge to urgent patient care. The exam consists of material covering a wide variety of physical assessments, such as cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, and wounds, which may have to be performed in emergency situations. Upon passing this exam, one will earn status as a certified emergency nurse and can advance their opportunities in the field. Additional certifications can be earned in areas such as pediatric nursing, trauma nursing, injury prevention, and as a nurse practitioner. Another common option is to seek certification to work as transport nurses working in a helicopter or airplanes in life flight situations.

Deplorable Me!
I confess up front. I am deplorable. But that is not because I am in the basket that HRC described, nor because I am entrenched as a supporter of the "Donald". I am deplorable because I was born that way. So were you. Wretched, deserving of condemnation, unworthy, despicably bad, are just a few of […]Read more
The Deluge of the 'Dones'.
'Dones' are a group that is on the rise in western culture, it seems to me. Not long ago I read a book entitled The Rise of the Nones, which spoke of that group who on a census when asked their religion mark the selection 'None'. There seems to be a deluge of another group […]Read more
What Does the Instruction Manual Say?
When is the last time you gave serious consideration to the directions our LORD Jesus left us with in our instruction manual? His final words before departing from the world focus on what we have called the Great Commission. It constitutes His last command to us. In my opinion it becomes the measuring stick of […]Read more
"Send Me the Bill!"
"Send me the Bill!" said my Dad. Well, I am getting ahead of myself. I was in the 4th grade, my least favorite of my elementary school grades. I had a teacher that thought much too highly of herself and often at the expense of embarrassing her students. I was on the receiving end of […]Read more
How to Wait for Jesus!
What are we supposed to do while we wait for Jesus? I have recently seen some articles written where people have taken an attitude that since Jesus said things were going to get real bad right before He returned, we shouldn't worry about the condition of our society and our world. Think for a moment […]Read more
God Gave You a Paid Receipt
Receipts are a part of our daily routines. We pay for gas, groceries, or any number of other things in our lives and we receive a receipt that it has been paid. I had a bill with an accountant last year from doing my taxes. I made a partial payment, but was surprised by a […]Read more
Death and Dying Suck
Death sucks. My mom would wash my mouth out for using that word when I was growing up. But there is no better way to say it. Death is our enemy, or so says the apostle Paul in I Corinthians 15. "The last enemy that will be destroyed is death." (v. 26). We find all […]Read more
Where Do I Start? Missionally Speaking.
Where do I begin? How do I get started? Those are frequently asked questions when the topic of "Going" in obedience to the Great Commission comes up. The conversation had focused on the responsibility of each church to obey the Great Commission. The pastor said, "We want as a church to reach out to the […]Read more
The Blood of Jesus Speaks a Better Word!
What can blood say? In fact, before that, what does Abel have to say? Adam and Eve began with two sons, Cain and Abel. There is absolutely nothing recorded of what Abel may have said while living. But the story in Genesis 4 says that his blood cried out to God. When we come to […]Read more
Secret: Do You Know the Secret?
Secrets. Everybody loves a good secret, right. Some cannot keep secrets. Some secrets should never be kept. Do you know THE secret? You say, the secret to what? Well, really it is the secret to just about anything we face in our lives. Take a moment and read carefully Hebrews 12:1-2. Did you see the […]Read more

"You know, I'm kinda disappointed. I never met a vampire in Romania. A couple of werewolves, sure. Even a poltergeist one time. But never a vampire."
His voice sounded as grizzled as he looked. A chunk of his nose was missing. One eye had the milky white opaqueness hinting and blindness. His beard was a tuft riddled mess of steel gray and white whiskers. I sat at the bar not far from his table where a gaggle of young admirers, mostly men, had pulled up chairs to hear him regale his adventures abroad.
I hunched even more over at the bar. My forearms shifting against the sticky residue from spilled beer. My elbow pushed an errant peanut over the edge of the counter and it fell to the shell covered floor. The old man launched into a tale about the time he single-handedly dealt with a rusalka in Ukraine. I flagged the bartender for another drink. I was going to need the liquid courage later. The groupies were interrupting and asking questions behind me. Finally he stopped and told them he'd need another beverage if they wanted him to continue his sordid tale. One of the young men got up and stood at the bar next to me.
He must have misread the expression on my face because as he was waiting for the bartender to come over he turned to me.
"Pretty wild, eh? Guy kills monsters for a living. He's been all over the world, man."
"Yeah," I said. "Real wild." I guess my lack of enthusiasm was offensive to him.
"You one of those monster sympathizers? Think they deserve habeas corpus and all that shit?"
"No, I'm just a guy trying to enjoy a drink at a bar without people pestering me. You mind?"
The bartender rescued me from any further conversation as the guy ordered a round for his table and left. As the old man continued telling his tales, more and more of the group would get up and order a round for the table, fortunately ignoring me. As the old blowhard drank more, his tales became less clear. The group surrounding him started to dwindle until he sat alone, nursing the dregs of a beer. I took the opportunity to close out my tab and slowly make my way out to the alley behind the bar.
After ten minutes of waiting in the fog the old man finally stumbled out into the alley. He walked a ways down from me before unzipping. Soon there was the tell-tale pattering as he relieved himself. I slowly crept behind him. He was completely oblivious until the silver knife slid through the duster her wore to give the right affectation for his tales.
"Wh-why?" he managed to stammer as I slipped him down onto his own filth.
"You forgot about the one vampire you met in Romania." I said, "The one that you crippled."
His face show recognition and disbelief.
"You're wondering how a crippled vampire could manage to get to safety before dawn. I know.Well that's the thing. I'm his servant. I managed to drag him to safety. It's a lot of work caring for an invalid. Especially a vampire. Master has never been quite the same since his run in with you. I have to rob blood banks in order for him to feed."
The light was starting go out of his eyes. I loped off into the noise of the city, hoping that this would bring some semblance of peace to my master.
Apropos of: This Prompt

Pension benefits can be assigned in certain circumstances to people who have a right to receive these benefits under the law, generally current or former family members. Some companies will loan you money based on repayment from future pension benefits, but you cannot formally assign your benefits to these companies, allowing direct payment that is legally enforceable. An assignment of benefits must take place with a legal court order.
The Qualified Domestic Relations Order
A QDRO is an order that specifies how a retirement plan is to be divided, usually in the case of divorce, but it is also used to determine the division of pension benefits to pay for child support. The QDRO is a legal document and has the force of law when correctly executed. This legality takes full effect when the administrator of the retirement plan examines the document and determines that the document is a qualified order based on the criteria of the retirement plan and the laws in the state that the issue is ordered.
Who Issues the Order?
A QDRO is issued most often by a state court, typically in a divorce, but it may also be issued as part of a child support proceeding. The order does not need to be issued by a court; it might also be issued by a state agency with the authority to do so. An agency must be legally able to issue judgments, decrees or orders, or it must be legally able to approve property settlements to issue a QDRO.
Contents of the Order
A QDRO must contain certain language and items to be "qualified." The order must have the names and last known addresses of all of the parties subject to the order. It must also mention by name each retirement plan that is subject to the order. The division of the benefits between the plan participant and alternate payee must be detailed, either by specific dollar amounts or by percentages of account balances or monthly payments. The order must also specify the amount of time that it applies for or the total number of monthly payments subject to the QDRO if it is dividing a monthly pension benefit.
Who Can You Assign Benefits To?
The law is specific with retirement plans and assigning benefits to ensure that you receive the benefits that you have earned or funded for your retirement. To be a legally enforceable order, it must create or recognize a recipient's right to receive benefits. Benefits can be assigned in a QDRO to a spouse or former spouse as well as to a child or dependent of a plan participant. Most retirement plans and laws do not allow you to assign pension benefits to any other person or entity.

In fact, my dinner was so pretty, so yummy smelling, that they all wanted some, too! And you know what? They didn't know there was no "real" cheese in it! Ha! Sneaky Chelle strikes again! But the very best part of this recipe is that it comes together in about 15 minutes!! Woot!! If you don't have precooked turkey or chicken breast, grab a rotisserie chicken on the way home and whip this one up tonight. You will NOT be disappointed!!
"NOT" LasagnaGluten & Dairy Free Comfort Food! Lasagna style casserole that'll satisfy, and help you reach your goals! Ready in 15 minutes!
Preparation Time: 5 minutes Total time: 15 minutes
By Chelle Stafford, June 3, 2014
6 oz cooked Turkey Breast, diced into cubes (I roast a couple turkey breasts in my one-day food prep to have on hand throughout the week. You can use rotisserie chicken breast, too.)
5 sliced brown mushrooms
1 cup baby spinach
1/4 cup diced onion (I like red)
1/4 tsp Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb or Italian Blend
Olive Oil cooking spray
1/4 cup Marinara sauce (I used Newman's Own)
1/4 cup Daiya Mozzarella shreds
Instructions: (see step by step photos below)
Wash and chop mushrooms and onion.
Heat non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Add mushrooms, onions and Mrs Dash. Cook until softened.
Add spinach and cooked turkey breast, spray with oil again if needed.
Stir, cooking until spinach is wilted and turkey is warmed.
Remove from heat.
Immediately add marinara and "cheese", stirring to combine.
Allow to rest 1 minute for "cheese" to melt.
This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, corn free, and chicken free. You may replace the turkey with chicken breast, if you prefer.
If you can tolerate dairy, replace the Daiya cheese with mozzarella, but be aware that the nutritional information will change.
I encourage you tot try this recipe as it is written. It's super creamy, melty-cheesy, and full of "lasagna" flavor! My family had no idea there was no "real" cheese in it, and they LOVED it!!
Daiya products are gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. You can learn more about them here: http://us.daiyafoods.com/

The Task Mapping Model (TMM) is a user-centered analysis technique providing methods and notations for use in human-computer interaction (HCI) task analysis (Mayo & Hartson, 1993). The primary function of the TMM is to synthesize new design requirements based on usability problems, user task descriptions, user class profiles, user knowledge requirements, and current user interface designs. The TMM does not, however, derive new design specifications or high/low level interface designs.

Finches are delicate little birds that come in a variety of beautiful colours and patterns, with perhaps the Zebra finch being the most common. For Training Finches, they need to be surrounded by their own kind and should at least be kept in pairs.
Their care is undemanding and they will make friendly, cheeky, merry little companions. Particularly for those who are seeking a less "interactive" bird, such as older individuals or those who have less time, they can be the ideal pet, tending to amuse themselves.

Who ya gunna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!
My urologist scheduled my stent surgery for 6:30am, she said, because I'd have time to get them taken out the same day if I was miserable. According to the anesthesiologist when he said I could countdown to knock out I started at 11,000. Needless to say I was feeling no pain when I woke up. Or the next day. Or the next. Did have a catheter for a few days but was able to take that out and go to work Monday morning. Every single medical professional I know is in complete disbelief and I've even been accused of faking feeling good just to avoid getting the bags. The ONLY problem I've had with the stents is that I am up every hour on the hour at night peeing. So lack of good sleep is making me a zombie. The only viable solution is to throw on a diaper and hit myself over the head with a hammer.
I've been back to see the oncologist and he admits my cancer is giving everyone a run for their money. He explained that it's "undifferentiated" and when I asked what that meant he said, "Well it's not typical, it doesn't respond to tried and true treatments, it's a mystery, it's...it's basically like Ghostbusters! It just oozes up." Who ya gunna call?! That said, he's going to start me on an oral chemo called Stivarga. He said it's harsh but since I'm obviously "rugged" he'll give me the full dose. I also okayed it with him to start taking fermented wheat germ, a super powered green drink, and cannabis oil. All of this for about 3 months and then rescan.
In other news, I had a mammogram (came back fine) and my annual physical. When I got the call that my pap came back abnormal I honest to God started laughing on the phone! The doctor thinks I'm crazy now but of COURSE it came back abnormal---it's me we're talking about :-) I go in at the end of this month for biopsies to determine why. Could be a lot of things besides cancer. Either way it is what it is. I'm okay with this all. Swear. And trust me it's much more productive to laugh about it than cry about it.
I'll try to post updates more often, I'm sorry for worrying everyone! I'm still working full time (plus side job) and if I'm not working I'm probably asleep. Thank you all though for so much love and support!

3. But Don't Just Let Things Go
Debating Difficult and Emotive Midwifery Topics: 5 Strategies
3. But Don't Just Let Things Go
This is so helpful Ellie. It's always hard for me to think when should I get involved and when I shouldn't. Often for self care purposes. Good to have something to refer to in order to help me with this. Thanks.
This is a great topic Ellie, I think over the years I have learned to choose my battles wisely. I am a big believer in listening to all sides of an opinion. When we have passion about something whether it's an ethics debate or a belief we have learned to adopt from our backgrounds and culture or life experiences, we need to be mindful we are all different and live and experience the world differently. Nothing in life is black and white and the middle ground is sometimes the best most effective place to fire from. I believe we should be true to ourselves but always remember what we say and how we say things can have positive and negative effects on others. We all get it wrong and can be insensitive to others, not intentionally meaning to cause harm or upset or sometimes we do which usually stems from sin or upset within the person and gets projected. I think when we are honest and kind and admit when we make mistakes and learn something from them we keep moving and learning and evolving into the people/person we want to be and express to the world. It's a huge subject on all levels and one that should be spoken about xx
