By the time most of you read this, I will be on the road to Florida! A friend of mine from UNCA, Malia, lives in Florida, and she's just now heading home for the summer. Since she had her car with her in Asheville, I have offered to ride down with her. Who doesn't love a road trip?! Granted, I think after 8 hours of driving, we will be more than relieved to have made it to the sunshine state! Plus, this finally gives me a chance to see Malia's home and meet all of her friends back home. I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun!
From what I can tell, I'm prepared. I've got 3 books for me. Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout which I'm reading now, The Choice by Nicholas Sparks (since Nicholas Sparks books are definite beach reads), and Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. I'll only be in Florida until Thursday morning, but I'll be flying back so I'll definitely need something to read while I'm in the airport/on the plane. Hopefully three books will be enough.
I love road trips. However, this will be the first time EVER that I'm taking a road trip with a friend of mine. I'm so excited. Thankfully we have an audiobook that Malia downloaded so we won't get too bored in the car: The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd (the author of The Secret Life of Bees). That being said, Malia and I have been debating how long it will take before we're bitching at each other. She guessed 10 minutes. I guessed 5. But Malia and I have the kind of friendship where we can bitch at one other and banter back and forth until we have a stomach ache from laughing so hard. Needless to say, it's going to be a really interesting car ride, and I'm so excited!!!
Our first stop will be in Orlando since one of Malia's friends lives there. From what he's told us, he's rented a boat for us to enjoy on Saturday/Sunday which allows you to see all the Disney parks, but from a boat (which I think is super cool because you don't have to deal with the crowds of people). Anyway, I'm really excited for the boat, and it'll be so much to finally (maybe/hopefully) get some sort of tan before I go to Ireland! On Sunday night we'll head to Malia's house in West Palm Beach and spend the rest of the trip there (at least in my case). I'm excited to see where Malia grew up and hear all the childhood stories that you only really hear in full when you are in the place where they all happened.
And, of course, the beach! Even though I'm definitely a mountain girl, I really love the beach too. It'll be so great to be able to lay out on the beach with a book and just soak up the sunshine. Granted, it'll be pretty hot (since it is Florida, after all), but that's what getting in the ocean is for…to cool off for a little bit before heading back to the book that holds characters that you silently wish you could just sit down with and talk to right then and there.
Check in tomorrow for a review of Barbara Kingsolver's novel, Pigs In Heaven.

The dentist Gatineau, a chance that they were! But what it takes to be a good dentist? It takes a lot of patience, sure thing and have the skill, go into the hollow of the mouth of patients also demand a lot of details, and foremost, you must be passionate in the field! A secure job, a job that pays with a good quality for the future! Gatineau dentists can learn a lot about the area of the mouth, they know a lot and if you have questions that are the right people to consult. They should know the teeth but also the language, it is a muscle on the mucosal surface, it is on this that the taste buds are.
The buds are there to recognize tastes, each square on the tongue contains a place that is conducive to detect, for example, the bitter side, the acid, sweetness, or one that is spicy. A dentists Gatineau remarked to me how special could be any differences we humans. As this language, some have a small, others big, long, pointed, cracked and so on. Even the lining is not the same in attractive color or texture. The dentist must know the language as well as the teeth in operations or dental treatments, the language is concerned whether a tingling sensation or even kind of paralysis. If for example, you get a wisdom tooth removed, all our mouth feels very numb, you feel like you even have difficulty moving the tongue.
Dentists Gatineau or anywhere else see a lot of teeth problems. It is important to pay attention to our teeth, there are too many cavities that could be greatly avoided if people took advantage of awareness of the importance of taking a tooth cleaning. There are cavities which may be less serious than others. More decay is processed faster and easier the treatment will be. The dentist prefers to act quickly, before the decay degenerates in the mouth. The decay can be very deep and give excruciating pain if it reaches the pulp.
But you know how is a cavity? The principle is simple. The first stage of decay is when the bacterial plaque on the tooth, day by day is allowed, acidity is formed and gives bad results which creates a hole. If we act quickly and we clean our teeth, decay can take the best and stop degenerate, but the damage is done because the decay leave its mark with a black grain, more or less small.
The second principle that dentists Gatineau see is when the decay has passed the first stage and reached the bottom layer called dentin. When decay affects this site, decay spreads quickly because dentin is softer than enamel and intrusion easier. It is in these moments that discomfort can feel the cold and sometimes sugar. In all cases, it is not necessary that the decay reaches the pulp, which is the central level of the tooth, because that's where the nerves and blood vessels is located. Do not waste time when it happens because there will be a collection of pus. Teeth are a very complex area, which is why it is important to deal with a good dentist.

District Attorney Warren Montgomery reports that a St. Tammany Parish jury found Cindy T. White (41) of Slidell guilty Wednesday (April 18, 2018) of theft of identity over $1,000 for stealing another woman's identity via social media. White faces up to 10 years when she is sentenced by District Judge Scott Gardner on April 24, 2018.
An employee of Diversified Foods and Seasonings contacted the STPSO in April, 2016 about White, who had provided a fraudulent resume, social security number, and driver's license number to get an executive level job. They hired White in September 2015 as a human resources manager at $95,000 per year and promoted her five months later with a salary of $105,000.
As it turns out, White had copied credentials, a Social Security number, and Drivers License number from a resume copied directly from the Linked In account of someone with a similar name. The educational credentials included a bachelor's degree from Tulane University and a master's from Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Company officials became suspicious, though, when White had trouble performing duties within the educational level and experience listed on her resume, and when she began delegating many tasks assigned to her.
When investigators tracked White's real Social Security number, they learned she had been arrested in New Orleans in February 1997 for theft, forgery, and malfeasance in office. At the time, White worked for the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office and was accused of assuming a co-worker's identity and emptying the victim's bank account, before being identified by surveillance photos. White pleaded guilty to two counts of forgery on September 27, 1997, and was placed on probation. But court records indicate her probation was terminated in 1999 because the court received information that she was deceased. White also had pleaded guilty in Jefferson Parish to attempted theft of goods on December 4, 1998.
White admitted in a statement to investigators that she fraudulently used the victim's educational experience and Social Security number to get the job. But her defense attorney argued during the trial that she actually earned the salary.
Jurors deliberated just 15 minutes before returning the guilty verdict.

In April I felt quite humbled as Bishop Christopher decommissioned Liz, then commissioned myself as Lay Director. The Bishops words. 'Christ is counting on you.' To my response, 'And I on Him,' was a reminder that, when we are called to God's work, we do nothing in our own strength.
I thank Liz for all her hard work as Lay Director, a hard act to follow.
It was back in September 2014 when stood on a cliff in Santiago de Compostela that, I said to Liz that I needed the pilgrimage to spend time in prayer with God to see where he was leading me. Liz's response was, 'Then I have something else for you to think about,' You have guessed it, yes it was to consider being the next Lay Director.
That was the last thing I expected to hear and was somewhat taken aback. My immediate reaction was there had to be someone else more able and worthy than me. After some discussion I said I would pray about it. I can assure you a lot of prayer took place. What better place to pray about this role than in the home of Cursillo.
On the last day of the Pilgrimage when we were in the Cathedral for the Communion Service. They started to swing the Thurible to dispense the incense, which is an awesome sight. Taking eight people there was a lot of power behind the Thurible being swung, as the it swung higher you could see the lighted coals within it. I was reminded what a mighty, powerful God we have and that in his strength we can do whatever he calls us to do. With His strength and your prayers and support I will aim to fulfil this calling.
As I started to shadow Liz it became apparent that we may have to change the venue of our Cursillo's, so that became my focus. After a visit to Bishop Grossetteste with Stuart and Leslely Duff things were put into motion. As you all now know that change has taken place. I am pleased to say that the feedback on the weekend there, has been positive. Lincoln #33 will also be taking place there next year from 4th-7th August so please be thinking of and praying for future Pilgrims.
Blessings Ultreya Sandra

30th September – 2nd October at Shallowford House, Stone
17th- 19th March 2017 at Oblate Centre, Crewe

Please don't contact the venue directly.
Six Pilgrims made their Cursillo at our new venue, Bishop Grosseteste University in June. Since one of the two Spiritual Advisors had to drop out. The diaries of many priests, including my own, are filled well in advance. I had a wedding to take on the Saturday and a Communion service on the Sunday, which meant I couldn't fill the gap. As we searched for a replacement, the wedding couple phoned me to postpone their big day until August, and another priest became available for the Communion service! Well, I can take a hint, and when it seems to come from God, it is more like an instruction. So, it was a privilege to train with the team of Lincoln #32, as they prepared for the challenge of delivering the weekend at a different venue.
The University Campus has the rooms for Pilgrims and staff, the refectory for meals, the Rollo room, and the chapel in separate blocks, which meant adjustments to timing. The team flowed from location to location on the campus, it seemed to go flawlessly, thanks to the team efforts behind the scenes. It was a privilege to meet the Pilgrims and share the Cursillo experience with them.
The privileges for me didn't stop there. As Spiritual Director, I lead the Staff Eucharist on the first day, before the Pilgrims arrrive. In this service, I commissioned the staff for the weekend. I also have the privilege of organising the Clausura Eucharist, delivering an address, and commissioning the Lay rector for the next weekend. In this case, it was Jude Scott for Lincoln #33. In between these SD duties at the beginning and at the end of the weekend, it was a privilege to serve as Spiritual Advisor alongside the other twelve team members, and observe their varied skills and hard work.
We had the "What Next?" session with the Pilgrims at the Village Hall at Hackthorn in the morning of the 25th June, followed by our Summer Event. Hackthorn Village Hall and St. Michael Church are set in an estate off the road through the village. It was an impressive venue, led admirably by Lincoln and Lawres reunion Group. They had organised a Eucharist at which the Revd. Carol Munn presided, quizzes, games, a treasure hunt, Evensong; and I didn't have to do anything at all! This was another privilege which I enjoyed considerably.
Now it is back to parish duties which, while still a privilege, aren't quite so exciting as a Cursillo weekend. Sadly, I came back to a series of funerals, as well as the usual Sunday services. On a happier note, I am looking forward to four weddings and a baptism.
Does that sound like the title of a film? No, that was "Four weddings and a funeral!
God is at work in our lives although we don't always recognise it. His touch is sometimes delicate, and sometimes he is more direct. Look out for those touches, hints and instructions in your life, these are privileges which we all receive, but sometimes miss in the busy-ness of our everyday routines.
As Dickens' "Tiny Tim" says "God bless us, each and every one."

When Teresa and I felt called to be part of Lincoln Cursillo #32 we were unsure about what to expect, our sponsor Linda Harwood didn't want to spoil the surprises that we would experience, we both feel, having completed Cursillo #32 that Linda was right not tell us anything. We arrived at Bishop Grosseteste University at 6pm on Friday 17th June, and left about 6pm on Monday the 20th of June having completed our Cursillo.
The whole thing was a total joy for us, the staff were wonderful, Gillian and all the Cursillo staff made us so welcome, different hymns, and different ways of singing them, we found ourselves wishing we had heard of Cursillo before, and done this sooner. Gillian and all the Cursillo 32# staff soon made us feel at home.
The experience was very moving and spiritual, we laughed a lot and cried a lot and cried with laughter.
We would recommend the Cursillo experience to anyone, Christ's love was all around us
throughout the whole time.
Thank you to all Cursillistas for their prayers, best wishes, cards, gifts, and letters, and
for the feeling of Christ like love we all share.
Mike Hollings
Two words, renewal and mission have been used to sum up the aim of the Cursillo movement. So, in practice a Holy Spirit ministry of love turned into action. And that is exactly what I experienced from Lincoln #32. I responded to Gillian's invitation to come on the weekend firstly because she had asked me to come and she had already, graciously attended charismatic events in my diocese, and secondly because I was curious and open to something new and an opportunity to listen to God. I hope Gillian won't mind me saying this but I had wondered how she and John were 'alive' Christians. Now I know.
What I experienced over the weekend were drip feeds of love. Everyone was there to serve the pilgrims, motivated by love for Cursillo and how it had affected them. The things that were hidden from us, the pollenca, the party and healing service, the wake up and the clausura spoke the loudest of love in action. It made me stop and think. Is my love for Christ translated into sacrificial love? I know it is to a certain extent but I believe it needs to be more intentional so from that point of view I really like the study, prayer, and action cards and hope to use them in my faith journey to keep me on track.
I had prayed the week before I came to Cursillo for some joy and fun to come into my life. Well, God answered that prayer. During and following Saturday evening's celebration I felt colour and joy and love for the people there whether leading or participating. I certainly laughed more than I have done for a long time.
I won't be carrying on with the Cursillo reunions. I believe I am in a church where I am already encouraged to love and serve in the power of the Holy Spirit. I walk in fellowship with a great number of people and will use my experiences of Cursillo to renew my mind and my faith to enable me to continue to bless others however God wants me to. I believe no experience is wasted. Thank you for the experience.

The Difference
By Grace L Naessens
I woke early one morning and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish, that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me, and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me " I wondered: He answered, "You didn't ask".
I wanted to see joy and beauty, but the day toiled on grey and bleak.
I wondered why God didn't show me; He said, "but you didn't seek."
I tried to come into Gods's presence; I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided, "My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning, and paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish, That I had to take time to pray.
What a privilege it was to be asked to come, along with Kath Wells, and our Spiritual Director, Rev Jeff Wilson, to support our dear friend Sandra Smith, as she was commissioned as Lay Director of Lincoln Cursillo. The service took place in the much loved St Hugh's Chapel at Edward King House that sits in the shadow of the beautiful cathedral and was conducted by The Right Rev Christopher Lowson, Bishop of Lincoln, who said, 'What a valuable part Cursillo plays in promoting discipleship in the diocese', an endorsement indeed!
During the service, the bishop says 'Sandra, will you seek to be faithful in all that you do as Lay Director in the diocese of Lincoln?' to which Sandra replies ' I do ' and I know she will indeed give 110% in Gods strength and with our love and prayers of support. Sandra took over from Liz Lilley, who was decommissioned at the start of the service with the bishop ending by saying 'Liz, as you journey onwards in the life of faith, free to serve God in new ways, know that you do so with our love and thanks'. Liz has served faithfully as Lay Director for the past three years as well as also taking on the rolls of Lay Rector and Safeguarding Officer at different times during her office!! Liz, we thank you and send you all our love as you enjoy a much earned rest.

As the publicity Rep for Cursillo I can promote Cursillo in 'Crosslinks' but am unable to visit individual benefices/deaneries. Can you help?
Please can you make sure (with the priest's permission) that your church/benefice has an up to date poster and a few 3 fold leaflets. These can be downloaded from the web page or contact me for a poster. Could you speck about Cursillo at your PCC or Deanery Synod meeting? A short 5 minute talk would perhaps be enough, get someone to help you.
At Clausura #31 Carole Munn asked if Ann and I had attended all 31 Clausuras for we had made our Cursillo in 1990 at Launde Abbey on Southwell #19 and had been very involved in bringing Lincoln #1 to the Diocese in May 1995.
Lincoln Cursillo had sprung from a small group of cursillistas at Saint Hugh's North Hykeham and Saint George's Crosby, who despite very strong opposition from some within the Diocese had managed to put it together and raise the £2,000 needed to give it birth when the opportunity arose.
We felt very honoured and privileged that we were allowed to hold the first Clausura in Lincoln Cathedral but sadly for many reasons the location proved to be unsuitable. It quickly became clear that it was going to be very very difficult to find a venue which met all our requirements. Fortunately, Lesley Sleight our Treasurer, was the wife of the priest at Nettleham and her husband, Gordon, not only offered the full and free use of his church but also made the necessary introductions regarding the use of the Village Hall and later the school when the Hall closed for a period. What a great blessing this has been!!
When we put our brains in gear we realised that we could not have attended 31 Claursuras because there has only been 30. The scheduled Weekend after Lincoln #12 was cancelled and in the circumstances surrounding this decision it was decided that the next one should be #14 and not #13. We missed two of the three at Bawtry Hall, so have been to 28 at Lincoln but have also been to ones at Canterbury, Sheffield, Wakefield as well as Southwell, so well over 31 in the end.
We have always viewed Cursillo as a stepping stone on your journey of faith on which some may choose to linger for longer periods than others, but it is always there for you. We feel that we are perhaps somewhat on the fringe now but it will always remain our spiritual home and has been a welcome refuge and inspiration during life's stresses, doubts and anxieties. On our way home after each Clausura, with Thine Be The Glory ringing in our ears, we always feel full of the Holy Spirit and confident that we can face whatever befalls us until we are able to shout Ultreya again.

Moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn may seem like a short distance. ut when you cross the boundaries of the state, you can be sure you'll experience something quite new. People in Brooklyn simply know how to live. From the first moment you arrive here, you'll be showered with Brooklyn's huge energy. The energy that the people of various nationalities and background emit. Brooklyn is vibrant, yet it offers peace and tranquility for those who seek for it. It's no wonder this borough is becoming so popular, and in this article, you'll get to see some other facts that contribute to its popularity. Actually, you can be the judge, and see it for yourself. If you agree, let's get started.
Reasons people are moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn
It's impossible to list all reasons why would someone change their place of living. However, in case of relocating to Kings County, we can surely provide several plausible and most common reasons. We'll work them out one by one.
- Chance for business
- It's financially more feasible compared to what you gain for your dollar
- People are moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn to live in wonderful neighborhoods
- Culture scene is flourishing
Better chances of developing business
Nowadays, more than ever before you'll get to hear about a fast developing spirit for entrepreneurship among young and inspired Brooklyn professionals. It's a fact now that this borough has become a hub for those who wish to pursue their career in this direction. If you know how you can have a great chance to connect with these people. In this way, you can also help your business grow as you build the network of both the business partners and customers. On the website of Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, you can check out relevant information that can give you a little 'push' to start the business better.
Shorter commute
It's not unusual that a great number of people commute long hours each day to reach their office. Due to the lack of any other job opportunities, those people opt for passing an extra mile to ensure their existence, rather than being jobless. Or doing some other less paid job. And so, on weekly bases, they lose at least one solid work day on overcoming this "home-office" distance. And that's only if they're lucky to avoid the traffic jam. But, let's get realistic here. When was the last time you heard someone got so lucky? Instead of wasting your time, think about what more out of life you could get if only you had those 5+ hours? If you're among these people, then consider to look for another hearth, and get yourself closer to your office.
Contact the movers to help you relocate
The aforementioned reason would probably be number one among the majority of the newcomers of Brooklyn. If you'd ask any of them they'd tell you how relieved they feel now that they are coming back home earlier than usual. With the help of the professional movers in NYC, you could also feel at ease and happy in your new space. With them by your side, you won't have any problem finding yourself a beautiful place you'll call home. Being such a huge borough as it is, it can be difficult to get around the streets of Kings County. Unless you turn to the movers. However, make sure to find only the trustworthy Brooklyn Movers and Storage for, there are many who just want to take your money.
You'll get more for your money
Even though the prices are increasing everywhere, it's still well possible to find an affordable real estate here. Also, the great size of the area is one of the advantages. This means that across Brooklyn, you can find a huge selection of different types of housing. To cut down the costs of moving get free cardboard boxes. These are actually easy to find. Just ask around in local shops or supermarket. They'll give you some for sure.
Choose the best neighborhood for you
One of the things you could do before relocating to Brooklyn is to take a stroll around it. This might give you a better perspective of where would you like to live. Of course, by telling the moving company your preferences, it will make it easier to speed up the process of finding THAT place for you. We'll suggest you just a few:
- Williamsburg – Definitely the most popular of all the neighborhoods here. Many young people simply adore it for the numerous trendy and urban music venues. And is there someone who hasn't heard of Williamsburg's flea market?
- Park Slope – For those with a little bit deeper pockets. Here, you'll find more luxurious houses with fancy restaurants and bars, such as Union Hall in which you'll have a feeling as if you've found yourself in your grandfather's studio. Take a walk to the Prospect Park and enjoy the time with your family or friends.
- To enjoy the galleries, museums, art in general, then Dumbo is a right place for you. Some of the most iconic shots of Brooklyn bridge were made here. No doubt you'll love it here!
Brooklyn is also a place of culture
As the cultural scene is fast developing and growing, moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn, as well as from other places have increased. From numerous galleries, museums, concerts to famous hip-hop, Brooklyn can offer you this and so much more. Perhaps you're one of those who can contribute this scene to grow more? Do you play an instrument, piano for instance, and you're part of a band? If this is so, then make sure to hire piano movers NYC to ensure a safe relocation of your preciousness.
Even if you're not moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn, but you live elsewhere and you're only thinking about relocating here, we hope these things have helped you made your mind. This place is great for starting up a new job, raising a family and having fun. Brooklyn's waiting for you!

The main ingredient in our Chaga Elixir is pure wild-crafted chaga mushroom. Each serving includes 1,500 mg of chaga extract with at least 30 percent polysaccharides (including more than 15 percent beta-glucans) and 2 percent triterpenes. No starch, sugars, or any fillers at all.
To make it easy to use, we have dual-extracted it for you. This means that the active water- and fat-soluble components have been extracted with boiling water and alcohol, respectively. After removing the alcohol and concentrating the extract, we spray-dry it back to powder.
Four Sigmatic considers the environment in everything we do, so when the chaga pieces are collected from the birch trees, only the outer sclerotium is removed; the mushroom itself is left to reproduce on the tree.

Weren't Democrats supposed to be in favor of collective bargaining rights? Well, maybe not.
Welcome to bizarro world.
The Democratic-controlled Statehouse in Massachusetts voted earlier this week to strip public employee unions of their collective bargaining rights, as part of the state's budget measure. It passed by a vote of 157 to 1.
That's precisely the same action taken by Republicans in Wisconsin, where it sparked a massive democratic outcry and weeks of rowdy protests.

This is my first post on this forum.
I have been curious about MPD for some time now. There is much discussion of MPD on HiFi and audiophile forums. Much of the discussion centres around how good various versions of MPD sound. Part of my background is in IT so I always wondered how MPD is prepared for release and whether anyone listens to each or any release to ensure it sounds good. Or whether it's just released to play each codec natively with zero listening between releases. Does anyone know what the release strategy is? My assumption is that someone or a group of people listen to each release before it's released.
The other widespread audio chatter around MPD is whether any tuning of the sound is made between MPD releases or again whether it simply plays each codec natively?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback anyone can give me.

Re: Audiophile Discussion of MPD
Almost all of this discussion is bullshit.
None of that ever happened. Nobody ever does a listening test before a MPD release. I know this, I'm the release manager (and have been for 11 years), and I don't do it and I've never got any feedback from any group or any person about such a listening test.My assumption is that someone or a group of people listen to each release before it's released.
There are various rumors about the audio quality of various MPD releases, and some people even believe that the switch from C to C++ made MPD sound worse - so much that one misdirected guy keeps on maintaining the old C-based branch. Based on superstition. And there's a lot of superstition among some audiophiles.
The technical truth is too boring people to believe - it's not an interesting story. So people come up with interesting stories, but they're not the truth.
Once you have bit-perfect playback (which is easy to do with MPD), there's nothing else you can do to improve quality. No matter the programming language or real-time scheduler setting or phase of the moon or signs of the zodiac. But as I said, that's a boring story.
Re: Audiophile Discussion of MPD
There is no problem with the sound quality. But there is one important thing that is missing, but I think it's easy to develop:
Currently, the best quality broadcast on Icecast2 server is possible in OGG Q10 (499kbps). It would be nice if you also support OggFLAC streaming. Icecast2 support this.

First of all, let me be clear that I applaud anyone that attempts to offer up solutions to stop this bloodletting and death that is resulting from interactions between law enforcement and African-Americans.
The problem I do have with some of these ideas and solutions is they tend to somehow put the responsibility of staying out of harms way on the citizen by suggesting they make certain concessions and capitulations other ethnic groups never have to do. Those suggestions alone underscore the glaring fact that there is something larger looming when it comes to law enforcement's attitudes toward African-Americans.

Article date: 1990/5/1
PubMed ID: 2158791
Journal name: Alcohol (Fayetteville, N.Y.) (ISSN: 0741-8329)
Chronic exposure of rats to ethanol significantly decrease GABAA receptor-mediated 36Cl- uptake in cerebral cortical synaptoneurosomes. Muscimol and pentobarbital stimulation as well as ethanol enhancement of muscimol-stimulated 36Cl- flux are significantly decreased following chronic ethanol inhalation. Repeated pentobarbital administration has a similar effect on muscimol and pentobarbital-stimulated 36Cl- uptake in cerebral cortical synaptoneurosomes. We have postulated that these adaptive response may be associated with an alteration of GABAA receptor gene expression. Chronic ethanol exposure resulted in a significant reduction in the levels of GABAA receptor alpha-subunit mRNA's. The most abundant mRNA species in the rat cerebral cortex were reduced 40-50% (4.4 Kb mRNA, 43%, 4.8 Kb mRNA, 47%). beta-Actin mRNA and poly(A)+ RNA levels were not significantly reduced following chronic ethanol exposure. Repeated pentobarbital administration had no effect on the level of the 4.4 and 4.8 Kb transcripts of alpha-subunit mRNAs in rat cerebral cortex. These data suggest that chronic ethanol exposure alters the level of mRNA's coding for the alpha-subunit of the GABAA receptor. This decrease may reflect an alteration of mRNA processing in the cell or an alteration in GABAA receptor gene expression.

Zoe & Wade's Relationship Arc On 'Hart Of Dixie' Is Beautifully Depicted In This One Graph
Shows may end, but certain parts of them live on far longer than their dwindling episodes. In the case of The CW's Hart Of Dixie , one of those things will certainly be the relationship between title character Zoe Hart and Wade Kinsella. Despite the fact that the romance wound up being the show's core, these two did not exactly have a smooth path to happiness. In fact, there was a time when they weren't even the show's one true pairing — George and Zoe's forbidden attraction, and the fact that they had mountains in common, led the way instead. But the chemistry between Zoe and Wade was just too undeniable — and their relationship actually revealed the best in each of them, something that's sometimes too rare in romantic relationships on television.
This was still a show about love, love triangles, and heartbreak, though, so of course Zoe and Wade spent more time apart during the run of the series than they did together. They yo-yo'd and zigzagged and even entered into serious relationships with other people, but "Zade" was there lurking in the bathroom even during that era when Joel claimed to be the man staking out Zoe's future. These two are memorable, and their journey deserves to be remembered. Right alongside how damn good Wade was at looking at Zoe:
So, to honor the memory of such an epic couple, we had to look back at their relationship, from those heated moments to those cold moments that made us all want to cry alongside Zoe and Wade. It was all quite dizzying — which is why we made you a handy infographic to help to settle it all in your brain. They may have made each other immensely happy, but they could hurt each other more than anyone else, too.

We are pleased to announce our new open project: "Nyarlathotep as the Guide to the Necronomicon Gnosis." It explores the role of Nyarlathotep as the initiator into the mysteries of the Necronomicon and the companion to all who walk the path of the Great Old Ones. He is the mythical intermediary between the forgotten gods and mankind, the Crawling Chaos who opens the gate to the Outer Void through which the Great Old Ones can enter our consciousness, and he who leads man on the path of self-liberation.
The project contains 7 workings which have to be done individually on 7 days in a row, at any hour of the evening/night. Before the actual workings, you will have to prepare a parchment that will serve as a physical representation of your pact with Nyarlathotep. The seven rituals that follow the initial stage will explore his seven chosen masks/avatars, each one referring to a different aspect of the Necronomicon Gnosis. These masks are as follows: the Crawling Chaos, the Black Pharaoh, the Haunter of the Dark, the Black Man of the Witch-Cult, the Faceless God, the Messenger of the Old Ones, and the Lord of the Black Tower. The purpose of the whole project is to introduce the practitioner to foundations of the Necronomicon Gnosis through the pact with Nyarlathotep - the mediator between man and the Great Old Ones.

Though both our minds and our bodies need regular exercise, for many of us, physical activity is much more of a challenge than mental fitness. In fact, in many cases, a physical exercise routine is quickly discarded after a period of inactivity, because it's much easier to pick up the remote than it is the free weights. So, after an injury-related interruption, no matter how mild or severe that injury is, returning to a physical fitness regimen is not always easy.
Injury prevention is crucial to stay with the routine. But since injuries are almost inevitable no matter what we do or don't do, we must be prepared to deal with them.
Start with a Baseline
Men over 45, women over 55, and people of any age with any chronic health condition should always check with a physician before starting any physical exercise program. This visit is an excellent opportunity to not only talk about your medical condition but also set some realistic and meaningful fitness goals.
Before the visit, bone up on some basic medical information, such as understanding blood pressure by age. The more information you have, the better your decisions will be. Target heart rate is also very important, as is respiration rate.
Warm-Up and Cool-Down
Sudden movements and changes are the best way to get physically hurt because our bodies simply are not designed to handle that kind of physical stress. By the same token, an elevated heartbeat when your body is at rest is a shortcut to hypertension, and no one wants that.
A good warm-up should be about five or ten minutes of light jogging or easy bike riding. When you feel warm, and your breathing is ever-so-slightly labored, you're probably warmed up. Or, you can take a quick pulse measurement and determine your heart rate.
At the tail end of your workout, a cool down should do the exact opposite. When you no longer feel flushed, your breathing is back to almost normal, and your heart rate is down, you have truly finished your exercise routine.
Online fights have broken out all over the world over the question of whether and when to stretch, and all sides of this debate have very valid evidence-backed points. But almost no one would disagree that flexibility is necessary for injury prevention and that stretching just feels good.
To that end, light stretching both before and after exercising probably cannot hurt and most likely will help. A few pre-exercise knee bends and some post-exercise light yoga poses may do the trick.
Cross Train
There are two very good reasons to vary your workout regimen. First, repetitive muscle use often leads to tendinitis and other overuse injuries, and second, there is some support for the idea that muscle confusion (varying a workout pattern) yields better fitness results.
Another reason, although it may not fall into the "very good" category, is that mixing things up is often a good way to stay engaged and stay motivated.
A biking/running/swimming routine is a good way to start. As long as you keep exercising for approximately the same length of time for each activity, be it thirty minutes or whatever, the cardiovascular benefits are about the same.
Take at least one or two days off a week, whether you feel like you need the time or not. Just like work vacations have mental benefits, rest periods have physical benefits.
Most people have mild endorphin withdrawal after a day off, so they hit the track again with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
A moderate physical exercise program is one of the best ways to both extend the number of days in your life as well as the quality of those days, making exercise the closest thing to a Fountain of Youth that most of us will ever find. The longer you can stay in this routine and avoid injury, the happier you will be.

back in february i was sent to cleveland to sit reserve there because their base was short. that night as i was lying in bed trying to sleep, my friend ashley came from her room across the hall banging on my door. she told me that a continental plane crashed. from the look on her face i could tell that this was no denver incident where the plane just skidded off the runway and everyone got out safely. i ushered her in and we turned on cnn. there it was on the screen, a horrible fiery image of the bombardier dash 8 q400 and the continental name flashing everywhere. something most people don't realize is that the plane that crashed actually belonged to colgan air, operating for continental as a commuter flight.
i didn't get any sleep that night, glued to the tv like it was a "train wreck." everytime i dozed off i would get a new phone call or text message. it was definitely nice to know those people cared and were worried, but the next day i was assigned a four day trip after no sleep and then it wasn't so nice anymore.
the view from my balcony
the restuarant across the street from the resort
the next day went as any other. when i got to my hotel in queens i decided to take the train into manhattan so i could get a late christmas/valentine's gift for carin and cameron's little anna kate. when i got back to my hotel i had a message from someone at the houston inflight office. the crew who used our plane after us took a delay because of a low portable oxygen bottle (POB.) being the lead on the trip i had the signoff sheet that each crewmember signs to indicate that they have checked their safety equipment. when our conversation finished i thought the issue was over.
later that week, on the first day of my vacation, i received a call from my supervisor asking about the POB… the issue was just getting started. an investigation took place in the weeks following and was just recently resolved. as completely positive i am that i checked that bottle and as much as i hate to admit this, i must have missed it. the empty bottle flew three or four legs before someone noticed. each leg had two crew members responsible for checking it's level. everyone who missed it was given two steps of discipline and had to attend a short training refresher on safety equipment. luckily for me, i am now off my initial probation and have a completely clean record.
those of you who know me know that i am a perfectionist so of course i was completely disappointed in myself. luckily my supervisor is really great and during our discussion he made me feel so much better. "i know you're a great flight attendant and you have a perfect record. of all the people in this investigtion, seniorities range all over so it's not a matter of experience or you not knowing what you're doing. people make mistakes and the only thing you can do it learn from them."

Lily bulbs from B&D Lilies® are garden tested. Orienpet lily bulbs, Trumpet, Orientals and Asiatic lilies, when planted in spring, will bloom spectacularly this coming summer.
Economy 3-packs
Economy-size, package of three (3) bulbs. SAVE 30%
The bulbs offered in this sale did not quite make the size grade for what we normally ship. Rather than plant them back for another season of growth, we have opted to offer them at a reduced, sale price, as we did similar sized bulbs in the spring of 2009. These are flowering size bulbs, having all flowered in the summer of 2012 and are of the size we would normally plant back in late March / early April to supplement the following year's fall crop. If you are willing to put in a bit of time to grow these bulbs yourself for a season, they will have just as many flowers in the summer of 2014 as the bulbs we will be shipping this fall for bloom in the same time period.
We grade bulbs for Minimum Size, not "Top Size" like other companies, so some may be quite a bit larger than others, even in these Economy 3-packs. You will find that our bulbs overall run larger than the standard dutch grading system to insure that they are indeed "flowering size".
Our last sale on 'Economy Size' bulbs was in the spring of 2009. Thank you for all the great comments on their size compared to "jumbo" and "monster" bulbs from other companies. We hope that everyone will be as pleased with this sale.
"Dear Dianna, . . .even though yours [your bulbs] were supposedly smaller 'on-sale' ones, they were perfect and robust and bigger than any bulbs I've gotten through several mail order companies."

WASHINGTON (5/18/15)--Credit unions and bankers have come together to strongly urge the U.S. Senate Banking Committee to find bipartisan agreement and congressional action to provide regulatory relief for financial institutions
"Regulatory relief is critical for America's credit unions," said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle commenting on the joint letter sent Friday. "Bipartisan cooperation will be essential toward passage of these important reforms."
CUNA, the National Association of Federal Credit Unions, the American Bankers Association and the Independent Community Bankers of America underscored:
The letter notes that a regulatory relief package unveiled this week by Sens. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), chair of the banking panel, and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), its ranking member, "is an important step" to addressing the regulatory barriers that stymie credit unions and banks from "more fully serving the diverse financial needs of the American consumer."
The Senate package contains three credit union-specific regulatory relief provisions, as well as more than a dozen other relief items that benefit credit unions. Shelby's much-anticipated bill is expected to be marked up by the Senate Banking Committee Thursday.
On the House side, there is a series of CUNA-supported relief proposals that address many of the same issues as does Title I of the Shelby bill.
Each member of the Senate Banking Committee was copied on the joint trade group letter. It concluded: "We stand ready to work with you and members of the committee from both sides of the aisle with the goal of developing a product that provides meaningful, bipartisan relief."
The trade groups often join to send letters of support for legislation, but rarely are they sent jointly on regulatory relief.

Apple Rejects Immigration Game
Do we have any readers who are into video games? I would love to get some commentary on games that deal in a positive (or negative) way with issues of immigration, refugees, human rights, and so on. I'm doing this post in hopes of kicking off that discussion:
Apple Rejects Immigrant
Smuggling Video Game
In today's Boston Globe, Hiawatha Bray reports that "Smuggle Truck," a video game produced by local game developer Owlchemy Labs has been rejected by Apple Computer as an app for the iPhone. Players of the game take the role of a truck driver trying to smuggle cartoon "immigrants" into the U.S. past various obstacles. As the newspaper's editors commented when it first came out, "The developers…deserve the leeway to comment, even in a simplistic way, on an important policy matter. And simplistic it is…"
Because border smuggling is a real-life phenomenon — and people die because of it — Smuggle Truck may be disturbing in a way that the typical sci-fi shooter game is not. It's no wonder one local immigrant-advocacy leader has called it a "tasteless and horrible joke.'' (Boston Globe editorial)
Reacting to Apple's decision to reject the game, Jorge-Mario Cabrera, of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights in Los Angeles, told the Globe that "Smuggle Truck" trivialized the sufferings of the thousands who seek to cross the U.S. border every year. "I think it's distasteful," he said. "I think it's offensive.''
Not one to pass up the chance to make a buck, Owlchemy quickly repositioned their handiwork as "Snuggle Truck," changing the migrants to cute little forest animals. The goal of the game is now to get them from the wilderness "to the comfort of a zoo." Apple is apparently OK with the change. Perhaps the Wilderness Society will want to weigh in on the relative comforts of the forest vs. the zoo.
At least one product review site feels that the problems of cartoon immigrants are more "fun" than cuddly animals, and reminded readers that for a couple of bucks more they can still get "Smuggle Truck" for their computers.

Out Living It!
Amongst young adults, more people die of cancer than any other disease.
Most of us know people who are affected by cancer. You have seen a family member struggle with the disease, a good friend, or perhaps yourself. No matter what type of cancer you are faced with, going through the physical struggles and the mental stress can be challenging and lonely (to say the least) and impactful in many ways. That is where the non-profit organization First Descents comes in, with Wet Planet grateful to play a supporting role. First Descents offers young adult cancer fighters and survivors a free outdoor adventure experience designed to empower them to climb, paddle and surf beyond their diagnosis, defy their cancer, reclaim their lives, and connect with others doing the same.
Throughout June and July, Wet Planet will host four week-long First Descents kayaking camps, in addition to one weekend camp. Around 75 cancer fighters and survivors from all over the country will travel to The Columbia River Gorge with First Descents to spend a week on the river with us, both kayaking and rafting.
Each program is limited to 15 participants, ensuring individualized care, medical attention and an intimate experience with fellow survivors. First Descents programs are available to young adults regardless of their financial means. All meals, accommodations and program activities are provided free of charge, including travel scholarships when needed.
Learn more about First Descents in this moving video.
Since 2010, Wet Planet has been hosting week long kayaking camps, allowing fighters and survivors of any type of cancer and in various stages of cancer to have a week of uncomplicated fun on the river. But it is much more than simply having fun. They are empowered to kayak rivers, forget about cancer for a time, build confidence, enjoy the moment, and connect with peers who are going through the same experience as they are.
These camps form the highlight of the summer for many folks working at Wet Planet as well – instructors, guides and base staff. Everyone plays their role and wants to be involved and contribute to the campers' positive experience in their own special way.
"Each summer I feel privileged to be able to witness the affect that this program has on the lives of cancer fighters. Still, what has truly surprised me most about First Descents is the impact it has had on my own personal outlook. Working with this organization is an incredibly inspirational experience," says Wet Planet kayak instructor and river manager Dave Seal.
While Wet Planet hugely discounts the camps, First Descents still needs your support to fund their growing program: in 2014 they hosted 30+ camps all around the country.
The kayaking community in the Gorge, spearheaded by Hood River's Kayak Shed, is hosting a Paddling Film Festival in the hopes to raise funds to donate to First Descents. Please come out to support the event and the successful cause that is First Descents. This is your chance to help support this amazing program!
If you want to learn more about what you can do to help support First Descents in the Gorge, give us a call at Wet Planet.
