This story was originally published in 2014. For information on the July 2017 Banff National Park backcountry fire ban, go here.
BANFF, Alta. - Visitors planning to drive along a major highway in the Alberta Rockies may face delays due to a wildfire.
Parks Canada says a 20-kilometre stretch of Highway 93 North, also called the Icefields Parkway, just south of the junction with Highway 11 could be closed from 2 p.m. local time to 7 a.m. daily so fire crews can try to contain the Spreading Creek fire.
Lightning started the fire at the Banff National Park boundary on July 3 and it has since grown to 25 square kilometres.
Parks Canada spokeswoman Tania Peters says they are trying to help shippers and tourists plan their trips so they don't face long delays.
On Monday, the section of highway from Saskatchewan Crossing to Waterfowl campground was closed at 2 p.m. and will reopen Tuesday morning at 7 a.m.
Peters says it's challenging because the fire is unpredictable, so if conditions put the public at risk, the highway will have to be closed.
"In an effort to minimize disruptions, our goal is to have the Icefields Parkway open as long as it is safe to do so. So there's potential for delays or closures any time, but it's highest after 2 p.m. until 7 a.m."
It's the busiest time of the year for Banff and Jasper national parks.
Peters said the best place to get up to date road information is the website 511.alberta.ca.
Ground and aerial crews are trying to prevent the fire from spreading west across Highway 93.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the fire started "at the boundary between Banff National Park and the province of Alberta." This version has been updated.

Pandora - ?
weziewoo replied to Bosco-d-gama's topic in LoungeFor what it's worth: Pandora Premium (?): I've had it for a few months now, since T-Mobile offered a one-year free deal. I used it for a couple of days, but haven't opened the app in weeks. Pandora's algorithm used to have some magic sauce in it, and I loved it. but that was years ago and I haven't liked/used it since. Spotify Premium: great discover weekly, large selection to choose from. I miss the 'run-by-beat' feature when I used to go on a run, but they still have lots and lots of different playlists. You can have it offline mode, change quality (low/high - before you could pick other options). I think Apple Music offers a free trial (same with Spotify?). I think it's worth trying more than just one, and pick your favorite. In my opinion, these cater to different audiences.
Well, I'll be damned. The thought (honestly) hadn't crossed my mind... I'll sure try it one day, if i can
Nope, they're like a shorter, crazier looking chicken!
We have two road runners that are really curious. This fella was hanging out on the wall, probably planning his dinner
weziewoo replied to AKD200's topic in Home TheaterI would start with page 75 of the manual: 15. Reset Factory Defaults: To reset all settings to the factory default value. This operation also sets BD-Live Network Access to be Off (details on page 79) and performs Erase Persistent Storage (details on page 74). However, the remote control code, parental control password and ratings will not be reset. This operation is only available when the playback is completely stopped or when there is no disc loaded. • Erase Accounts and Settings – Resets all settings to their factory default values and removes all account information. • Erase Settings – Resets all settings to their factory default values, but keeps account information. If that doesn't work, just shoot them an e-mail at email@example.com In my experience, they responded quickly and professionally. Good luck
Receiver running hot, how do you keep it cooler?
weziewoo replied to spencersmb's topic in Home TheaterA few years ago I also bought the AC Infinity (brand) that Tasdom mentioned, but a cheaper alternative: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JLV4BWC/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Plugged into a Denon 4520's USB port, so it would turn on with the receiver. All these little fans do work well, IMO.
9 and 11 channel amplifiers
weziewoo replied to 314carpenter's topic in Alerts!That's a lot of of wattage per $. Not taking pro amps into account
Our apricot tree started blooming. I hope our recent cold weather doesn't screw up harvest season.
Yes, I do have the grill. Let me take some more pictures and I'll post them. Assuming FedEx rates are correct on their website, about $35 to ship them (3-4 businesses days transit time). edit: plus packaging costs.
Mine isn't for sale. Another forum member had two for sale and last replied to his thread saying that there was one left. Maybe try reaching out to him? Good luck.

ProsExtremely quiet, smooth operation. Very responsive. Bright LED light.
ConsFeature-equivalent Chamberlain-branded opener is less expensive. Lacks Alexa voice control support. Google Assistant and IFTTT support require yearly subscription fees.
Bottom LineChamberlain's LiftMaster-brand belt-driven garage door opener is Wi-Fi-enabled, whisper-quiet, and will bathe your garage in bright light. But you can achieve all of that for less money with products from the same company.

Skiathos Nightlife
With clubs and bars lining the portside, the nightlife in Skiathos is unbeatable. The trick is to find a watering hole with authentic food and reasonably priced drinks, which is where we come in!
Ice is a small bar at the far end of the old harbour in Skiathos town. They have a cool menu, accommodating staff and their happy hour lasts until 11 pm. The Ice cocktail is a delicious yet interesting mix of blue curacao and cranberry. If the Ice isn't your thing, try the Caprihinia- a strong tequila drink that will have you on your feet and dancing in no time.
Rock n Roll Bar
You can't come to Skiathos without visiting its most well-known bar, Rock n Roll Bar. It is a small, slightly worn bar by the harbour where the guests sit on cushions or bean bags in the street, enjoying their cocktails and people-watching. The sweet, fruity drinks can get pricey so make sure to catch their happy hour from 7-9 pm. If you don't like your drinks extra sweet, opt for a beer instead.
Other Harbour Bars
As you walk along the shore and past all of the bars you'll notice that most of them have their own unique theme. Keep your eyes peeled for Pink Cadillac where you can sit in an old car while you enjoy your drink. Another fun bar to check out is Kahlua which has many different bars and trendy decor. There is even a Marrakesh inspired bar that advertises belly dancers!
With the vibrant and diverse nightlife of Skiathos, you will find it hard to spend a night staying in your hotel. Simply walk along the harbour and you're sure to find a bar to fit your mood.

The functions of the National Patient Safety Agency were moved to NHS England in order to ensure that improving safety is core business for the NHS. The Department of Health and NHS England agree this vital function should continue to have its resources protected. The Mandate for NHS England includes the objective to continue to reduce avoidable harm and make measurable progress by 2015 to embed a culture of patient safety in the NHS including through improved reporting of incidents. NHS England will be held accountable for progress against the objectives and will use its position as the leadership body for the NHS to support quality improvement throughout the healthcare system, which by definition includes safety improvement.
Patient safety is a critical component of what an effective regulator seeks to secure, maintain and improve and is rightly at the heart of the Care Quality Commission's new inspection regime. The Chief Inspector of Hospitals' assessment will include an inspection for patient safety which will inform the ratings of all NHS providers. In addition, the Care Quality Commission and NHS England will work closely together to share information, including reported incidents from the National Reporting and Learning System, to support Care Quality Commission's surveillance and inspection.
The government has considered the case for the transfer of the functions of the National Patient Safety Agency to a system regulator. These functions were primarily focused on learning, improvement and innovation rather than regulation and assurance. The core functions were to collect patient safety incident reports from all healthcare organisations, so that those reports could be analysed by safety experts in order to learn from what had gone wrong and then to use that knowledge to encourage patient safety improvement across the system. No system is ever 100% safe and patient safety demands an active commitment to continually reducing harm. Professor Don Berwick's report, Improving the Safety of Patients in England, emphasises that regulation is a crucial component of patient safety, but is not sufficient alone to secure patient safety. Ensuring the continual reduction of harm to patients requires the underlying culture of the NHS to be devoted to learning, improvement and innovation, and delivering that is a role that goes much wider than the system regulator's remit. The government believes this role rightly sit within NHS England.
In order to realise the Berwick report's vision of the NHS as an organisation devoted to continual learning and improvement, NHS England and NHS Improvement Quality are leading to establish a nationwide patient safety collaborative programme and will bring a significant level of resource and support to patient safety and improvement science over the next 5 years. Each collaborative will be locally-led and nationally supported. They will be designed to inspire and support a culture of continuous learning and improvement of patient safety in the NHS and be expected to deliver on a set of core patient safety priorities as well as their own priorities. As set out in the NHS Mandate refresh, NHS England and NHS Improvement Quality will seek to finalise the design of the programme, put in place the support and development capacity and recruit participating organisations by spring 2014. NHS England is also working with others on the best ways to develop much greater patient safety capability in the NHS through the education and training of the healthcare workforce in patient safety skills.
In the wake of the Public Inquiry – with the Care Quality Commission now making rapid progress to improve the rigour and effectiveness of its surveillance, inspection and ratings responsibilities for patient safety; NHS England now focusing primarily on the commissioning of safe services; the new development of the patient safety transparency website; and the launch of the new national Sign up to Safety Campaign – the Government agrees with Sir Robert that it makes sense to concentrate and consolidate national expertise and capability on safety within a single organisation that can provide strategic leadership across the whole healthcare system.
The Department of Health will therefore consider with relevant organisations the options for transferring NHS England's responsibilities for to a single national body.

A few weeks ago I was asked to do an interview for a local women's magazine that is published quarterly here in MN. Since the summer edition is already out, the story being written is for the fall/election-time issue and the topic is the controversial HHS contraception mandate. My initial excitement about doing the interview quickly morphed into the realization that my view is not a very popular one in some circles and that I could possibly receive some backlash for sharing my opinions. Knowing how personal the topic is and how politically charged the environment will be at the time this story is published, I did not accept this interview request lightly. Representing all those who oppose this mandate, for a wide variety of reasons is a big responsibility, but I swallowed my fears and accepted the interview knowing that this is a wonderful opportunity for my message and voice to be heard.
I met with the writer at a cute little coffee shop and had just a great "girlfriends" type conversation about the issues surrounding birth control; the negative side effects on our bodies, the view of our fertility as a burden, the idea that we as women are somehow incapable of understanding how our bodies should naturally work, the money involved in Big Pharmacy promotion of these drugs. We talked about all the reasons smart, educated women should be questioning the government support and sponsorship of these carcinogenic drugs. We briefly touched on the fact that many different religions oppose the mandate based on infringement of their religious liberties, but mostly we stuck to secular and holistically aimed arguments. Near the end of the interview she asked me if she could share what religion, if any, that I practice. I said, "Sure, I'm Catholic but that is not the only reason to oppose this HHS mandate. The Church is simply right about this issue. It is just acknowledging the Truth. Anyone can agree with Truth. The Church has a beautiful opinion of women and their abilities and they should not be forced to pay for or distribute any other ideology about the worth of women and their bodies." And that was that. A very nice interview with a very nice woman came to a close.
As we walked out I asked the writer about the story and she shared that she was writing about women of two differing opinions, one supporting and one opposing the HHS mandate and their reasons for holding their opinions. She said she had no trouble finding a woman to represent the "pro-free-birth-control-for-all" position (that only took her one phone call to the local DFL office), but had struggled to find a woman to share openly why she might oppose the mandate. I was contacted when my name was finally given to her after she had searched for weeks to find someone willing to talk publicly about why they oppose this mandate. I said I was a little surprised by that, but then I remembered my own moment of hesitation when asked to do the interview, and that got me wondering about why women in opposition of this mandate are not speaking up more loudly?
I called two of the women who I knew had been asked to share about why they opposed the mandate but had declined to do the interview. I asked them why they chose not to talk publicly about their opinions and their answers reflected my own initial hesitations.
One of these women is a beautiful mother of 10 children and said that she didn't feel like anyone would take her seriously when she talked about opposing birth control. She said people would just laugh at her and write her off as soon as they saw that she has 10 children. The other woman said she felt like people would disregard her opinion because her main reason for opposing the mandate is simply because she is Catholic. She said she felt like people would assume she doesn't think for herself and that she just does whatever the Pope and bishops tell her to do (not a bad quality in my opinion). Both of these women are very smart, happy, accomplished people who have lived their lives with great intention and love; yet they somehow felt that their voices didn't matter to the secular world and that other women would not listen to them because they have chosen to embrace family and faith as their guiding principles for decision making. They have not bought into many of the ways of our secular world, and for that they feel as if their opinions have been ostracized and discounted.
These two reasons were honestly what went through my own head as I briefly wavered about doing the interview myself. I am married and have five children in less than eight years. I am a Catholic homeschooling mother who loves her Church and strives to follow all Her teachings. How relevant am I to the average woman in today's world??? Why would my opinion cause any other women to reexamine her thinking about this issue??? What in my experience has taught me that I know better than anyone else about this topic??? That was the internal dialogue playing in my head, challenging me to justify why my voice matters to a secular world. I think this was also part of the reason that I did not focus on the fact that I am Catholic in the interview and why I felt like I needed to say that I planned to have my children (like that is anyone else's business!). I was afraid others would disregard me.
About a week ago the author of that story sent me an advanced copy to review and make sure she accurately depicted my position. As I had feared, she introduced me as "Leah Jacobson, a Catholic and mother of five….". I winced because I felt like I had done such a good job in that interview making my position appealing to non-Catholics and non-mothers…but I chose not correct her characterization. She accurately described me by the things that certainly do define me in this world, and even though I wanted every single woman who read that article to identify with me, I recognize that people who want to disregard me based on family and faith would not have to look far to find those elements of me. They are simply part of what makes me Me.
I've realized in these past few weeks that I do not have to apologize in any way for my family or my faith. They give me clarity and purpose in this world. They are essential parts of my very being. They define me. By dancing around the facts of my family and faith in that interview, I had been momentarily buying into the lies of the opposition that say women who embrace faith and family are somehow less qualified to speak out about issues that affect the lives of women. I was allowing insecurities hoisted upon me by people who disagree with me to silence my own voice. I am not less qualified that any other woman. We are women and these issues affect us each acutely. We cannot let others tell us we are not qualified to speak about this. If we do not speak up, then there is no one proclaiming Truth and the Enemy wins.
I am here to tell other women that your voices DO matter too! Do not be afraid to stand up and share your opinion, especially when your opinions are regarding injustices that affect our children and the future of our nation.
So, because I believe this so strongly and in response to the invitation by Women Speak for Themselves for more women to share their voices about the HHS mandate, I am swallowing my pride and recording my first web video. I have dreaded doing this for over two years now as I hate seeing myself on video and feel incredibly awkward talking to my computer, but I realize my voice needs to be heard. I need to be fearless in speaking out about this injustice to my Church and my femininity. I pray many of you will follow my lead and begin sharing your voice in this conversation about women and what we really need from our government and society. To check out my very first YouTube upload, follow the link below.
Until next time, I am Leah Jacobson. I have 5 children, I am Catholic, and my opinion on the HHS mandate matters.

Willacy County (KFXV) — Authorities have released new details in the death of a missing Raymondville woman.
After a month of searching for Nora Conde Villalobos, her family is now grieving her loss but police are still putting together pieces about what exactly happened to her. Raymondville Police Chief, says 35-year-old, Juan Manuel Tobias, Jr. was the last person to be in contact with Villalobos, before she made a trip out of the valley. Villalobos' body was found Tuesday at a canal near FM 1015 and Nittler Road in Monte Alto, prompting the arrest of her boyfriend.
Tobias faces one murder charge and a $1,000,000 bond.
During the 33 days she was missing, friends, family and several law enforcement agencies joined the search, except the man Villalobos was in a relationship with. While family members could not tell us about the type of relationship Villalobos and Tobias had police say, they did respond on several occasions to their home for various reasons. Aside from this homicide investigation, police are also looking harassing phone calls the family has received.
The persons involved could be charged for this offense.

Sue Cyre
The Reality of Truth by Sue Cyre, Executive Director of PFFM.
Cyre examines church doctrine as a description of the truth about reality as it really is. She then examines the need to engage false ideas about reality in order to defend the truth as in a court case. That defense is called "apologetics." It is important to engage the false teachings about reality so that:
- people may learn to discern between truth and error and not be led astray;
- those unbelievers who are searching for truth might find it in Jesus Christ;
- the faith of the people might be strengthened by the truth;
- our preaching and teaching is careful and nuanced so that we do not unwittingly provide fertile ground for error to take root.
Finally Cyre explains a Christian worldview and how it differs from other worldviews being promoted by the culture and some within the church. May/Jun 2014 Theology Matters p. 5
Identifying Boundaries by Rev. Susan Cyre
Cyre examines the role of doctrine in establishing boundaries and then gives specific examples of places where theological boundaries are being crossed. She looks at the Trinity, the authority of Scripture, God is the Creator, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the fallenness of human beings. Jan/Feb 2013 Theology Matters, p. 12
The Reformation of the Church, by Rev. Sue Cyre, p.16--
Cyre begins a series on practical steps that must be taken to reform the church. This article looks at the turmoil in the church caused by false teachers in 1 Peter. Reference is also made to Calvin's commentary on 1 Peter. Sep/Oct 2008 Theology Matters p. 16
The Bride and the Ten Commandments, by Susan A. Cyre, p. 11-- The Ten Commandments are not punitive laws designed to keep us from enjoying life. Rather, they are the promises of a husband, YAHWEH, to love and care for his beloved wife, Israel. Jan/Feb 2007 Theology Matters, p. 11
The Church Militant, by Susan Cyre (this article first appeared in Theology Matters Jan/Feb 1997)
Many in the church and society long for peace and therefore seek to harmonize dualisms. But biblical faith draws boundaries that cannot be compromised. Those boundaries cause a spiritual battle that is the church's calling. Knowing this, there practical steps we should take like telling the flock the whole gospel including that discipleship involves a cross; praying and meeting with other clergy and elders, etc. Sep/Oct 2006 Theology Matters p. 13
The Duties of Love: A Christian Response to Homosexual Behavior, by Jerry Andrews, Susan Cyre, James Edwards, Robert Gagnon, Ulrich Mauser
The authors explain that love demands that we acknowledge and preserve the Truth as it applies to male and female as God's creation; reverence for the life of children; marriage and God's covenant; the love commandment; and sexuality and idolatry. the authors also explain how the three-fold offices of the church that correspond to Jesus roles of prophet, priest and king, apply to this issue of sexuality. May/Jun 2005 Theology Matters, p. 1
A Worship Service for Families Who Have Lost a Preborn Child by Susan Cyre
Often families who have lost a preborn child have no worship service celebrating the resurrection and little or no church support. Sometimes grandparents do not live nearby and so grieve alone and in silence when their unborn grandchild dies. This article describes one church's annual worship service for those who have lost a child. May/Jun 2003 Theology Matters p. 9
Repent, Reform, OVercome: Why We Must Restore Annual GAs by Susan Cyre
Cyre responds to the vote at the 2002 GA to implement biennial GAs. Nov/Dec 2002 Theology Matters p. 15
Repent, Remember, Overcome: A Proposal to Renew the Church, Fitness for Leadership, Part 3, by Susan Cyre, Philip Keevil
The authors discuss fitness for leadership at the session and presbytery levels, examination responsibilities and examinations on the floor of presbytery. Jan/Feb 2002 Theology Matters p. 12
Repent, Remember, Overcome: A Proposal to Renew the Church--Polity and Theology by Susan Cyre
Cyre examines the relationship between polity and theology. Nov/Dec 2001 Theology Matters p. 15
Repent, Remember, Overcome: A Proposal to Renew the Church by Susan Cyre and Terry Schlossberg
Beginning with this article, this series of articles argues that the confrontation between the church an the prevailing spirit of the age is basic to the church's mission and that the current conflict has historical precedent throughout Scripture. The authors start a discussion of effective steps to be taken to begin to reform and renew the church. Sep/Oct 2001 Theology Matters p. 14
Renewal in the Mainline Churches by Rev. Susan A. Cyre, Executive Director of Presbyterians for Faith, Family and Ministry and Editor of Theology Matters. Cyre argues that the paradigm for renewal should not be the postmodern table with every theology represented and accepted, but the plumbline which calls each one to repent and return to God's revealed truth. Some principles of biblical renewal are: that spiritual warfare is the norm not the exception; that we need to love our neighbor enough to struggle for them; that we need to trust God and not just fight 'winnable battles'; that we need to give a consistent witness to Jesus Christ; that we must be concerned to vindicate the name of Christ; and that we must give God thanks for all his blessings. Jan/Feb 1998 Theology Matters p. 11
The Church Militant by Susan Cyre, PCUSA pastor and Executive Director of Presbyterians for Faith, Family and Ministry and Editor of Theology Matters. "Revisionists argue that peace is only possible when objective truth is denied. They content that 'truth-is-relative will allow dualisms to be harmonized." But, biblical faith does draw boundaries and defines truth and falsehood; light and darkness; sin and righteousness. Spiritual struggle is the church's calling. Jan/Feb 1997 Theology Matters p. 10
Truth Creates Boundaries by Susan Cyre, Executive Director of Presbyterians for Faith, Family and Ministry. Cyre writes "Objective truth had been trampled on university campuses by relativism promoted under the banner of tolerance, inclusivity and diversity. This problem of relativism, however, does not exist just in liberal academic corridors. It exists in the culture and most disturbingly in the church even among Evangelicals... Objective truth is the plumb line which divides truth and falsehood creating a boundary. Without that boundary, everything is believable." Mar/Apr 1995 Theology Matters p. 1

I admit defeat.
I admit that I have hit a brick wall and don't know how to climb it. That brick wall is a thought or even a belief. Something I've observed in my life from birth to current time.
Is there a perfect person to be found?
Someone that has all the qualities we admire and desire in a person?
People are on the quest for love and friendships. Dating and marriage advice plagues the internet, marriage coaches can be found on every IP address, relationship guru's at every turn. Even sermons about friends, "frenemies", toxic people etc.
Is there ever a perfect person? Can we ever find the perfect match? Someone with all we want and more?
I can't offer answers, just questions. People say they've found the one. A man or woman that fits the list of all they wanted in a person, but what if that person fails? What if they don't love you? Do you still chase after them simply because they fit your list, or because they are accepted by everyone as being perfect for you?
Then we hear advice from 90 year – olds or people in decades long marriages and they say it takes hard work and commitment. That the person is completely different and yet they work hard at coming together with understanding. The highs and the lows of their relationship is met with the determination to never give up. These set of people focused less on the check list of a perfect person, but more so on the hard work and dedication it takes to love someone.
Another powerful testimony of love demonstrated by a father – who prayed 7 years for his son. He didn't throw a tantrum at God asking why his son was bad and faulty – he simply prayed. He prayed, he said, even when things were getting worse as he prayed. Eventually his son turned around for the better.
Love without expectations, limits, unconditional love. In this world, what does that even mean? We can't find this kind of love being encouraged anywhere, but I think of the love God has shown me.
Let me share a personal story. There was a time when I turned away from God because of the weight of guilt and seeking perfection – doing works to gain God's love.
When I returned to him, I would throw tantrums and hide whenever I was disappointed, mad or confused. I remember one day, while being very ill, laying in bed and feeling as if God was right there with me. I said to myself : wow, I cannot hide from God. He is everywhere. I close my eyes and I hear him. I close my ears and I see him. I shut down my senses and He visits me. I cannot shut God out! He pursues me constantly.
I was messed up, broken and hurt. I was ill. To the world I was worthless in every way. People could say : well she has nothing to offer society so why should anyone love her. Find a more suitable woman or friend. However, God didn't say that about me. Time and time again I'd hear him say " I know your heart". He'd remind me that my worth did not come from how perfect I was – a job, education, social status (how many friends I had), how often I didn't sin, how I looked etc, but simply based on the fact that I am a being created by God. He said he saw my heart and with a heart like mine, he could work with it. He could break it down till it got soft, and then with his bare hands mold it and shape it.
Then he said something to me recently that was even better than before : that he is NOT judging me and that he will give me a new heart. Trust me guys, I read my bible and I knew I read that somewhere, so I did a quick google search and found it.
Here's what that passage says:
"Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations…"
I admit defeat. I cannot predict what God will do. I cannot predict what God will show or teach me. All I can do is have my questions and wait on His answers. As I go through life, learning about Him and having experiences, I know I will know what I need to know. Ultimately, God is in absolute control. I just want a soft and responsive heart to hear his voice when he talks to me.
Till next time,

Never Look #Basic in All Black Again
Jacket: Topshop (Under $100) // Denim: HM (Under $50) // Backpack: Zara
Black is pretty much a staple in every woman's wardrobe. We gravitate to our all black pieces for so many reasons…black makes us feel more slender, it matches everything and can be worn anywhere! Well, you're not alone, I am guilty of wearing far too much black as well.
An all-black outfit can create a chic statement, especially when you are rushing to stay stylish on the go.But by adding a statement piece to your all-black ensemble you add some visual interest that tricks everyone else into thinking that you spent hours planing the perfect outfit to wear!
You can add a bold coat to your look for winter, or even create a statement with your accessories. A scarf, statement necklace or a bold handbag and matching shoe would take any all-black look to the next level!

Why See A Licensed Therapist

The idea of sitting in a room and answering the question "how does that make you feel" may make you queasy.

Your licensed therapist will work with you to find a way to work with and through life events, stress, anxiety, depression, and more. If you're struggling with life or mental health concern, it's time to see a therapist. Here are some reasons why you may want to consider seeing a licensed therapist:

Coleridge's "Christabel"
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) wrote the long poem, "Christabel", in two stages, but never finished it. The setting is unspecified mediaeval. The heroine, after whom the poem is named, is the daughter of a widowed baron, Sir Leoline. She encounters a mysterious girl stranger, Geraldine, who, it is hinted, may be a witch or a demon, and who proceeds to win Sir Leoline's heart. Christabel feels deserted and threatened. Nothing much actually happens, and we have no knowledge as to how the poem might have been completed, but the atmosphere is increasingly sinister and charged with sexual imagery.
The first part was written in 1797, when Coleridge was living in Nether Stowey in north-west Somerset, and he and Wordsworth, who was living nearby, were working on their groundbreaking anthology of poetry, "Lyrical Ballads". Coleridge wrote two others of his greatest poems, "The Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan" at this time. It was also at then that he began to take opium.
The second part of "Christabel" was not written until 1800, and the location was now definitely placed in the Lake District. Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy were then living in Dove Cottage by Rydal Water, and Coleridge, with his wife and son, was lodging at Greta Hall, near Keswick. Coleridge continued to take opium, but was also an energetic, not to say reckless, fell-walker.
Neither "Christabel" nor "Kubla Khan" was published until 1916.
I do not propose to contribute to the debate on what the poem is "all about". What has always interested me, as someone brought up in the Lake District, are the opening stanzas of Part II. They have very little to do with the rest of the poem, apart from helping set the atmosphere. Here we have Coleridge, probably suffering the after-effects of being stoned out of his mind on opium, up on the fells somewhere above Ambleside on a Sunday morning, listening to the church bells:-
"Each matin bell, the baron saith,
Knells us back to a world of death.
These words Sir Leoline first said
When he rose and found his lady dead:
These words Sir Leoline will say
Many a morn to his dying day.
And hence the custom and law began
That still at dawn the sacristan,
Who duly pulls the heavy bell,
Five and forty beads must tell
Between each stroke: a warning knell
Which not a soul can choose but hear
From Bratha Head to Windermere.
Saith Bracy the bard, so let it knell!
And let the drowsy sacristan
Still count as slowly as he can!
There is no lack of such, I ween,
As well fill up the space between.
In Langdale Pike, and Witch's Lair,
And Dungeon-Ghyll so foully rent,
With ropes of rock and bells of air
Three sinful sextons' ghosts are pent
Who all give back, one after t'other,
The death-note to their living brother;
And oft too, by their knell offended,
Just as their one! two! three! is ended,
The devil mocks the doleful tale
With a merry peal from Borrowdale"
I don't know where "witch's lair" might be, but the rest of it sounds geographically correct.
I think these are the most sinister lines of great poetry in the English language. The only cheerful note is attributed to the devil!

Hello! My name is Gareth, and I will be leading your private Edinburgh walking tour.
I've lived and worked in Edinburgh since 1998 and consider myself to be a passionate and knowledgeable ambassador for the city.
There is far more to Edinburgh than a guidebook could ever tell you – and the best way to experience the city is to see it through the eyes of a local...
My Edinburgh walking tours will show you places off the beaten track, and give you a unique experience of Edinburgh, different from that of the 4 million tourists who visit the city every year.
As an independent local tour guide I offer gimmick-free, fact-based tours showcasing the city's history, combined with honest opinion to tell you which attractions are worth the entrance fee, and where you can get more than you bargained for with just a little bit of inside information.
"We can emphatically state that Gareth offers THE best tour we have experienced!"
"It was like walking around with a very well-educated friend instead of a tour guide."
"I have taken many walking tours all over Europe and Gareth is one of the best guides."
After training as a tour guide with Edinburgh Bus Tours I worked at Edinburgh Castle, becoming familiar with the needs and interests of visitors from all over the world.
I set up Edinburgh Expert Walking Tours in 2014 to offer an alternative to the large tour companies providing ghost tours or 'free' tours, to offer instead a more personal, informative tour to give visitors a memorable introduction to Edinburgh.
My co-guide Monty is a French bulldog who is friendly with humans and well socialised with other dogs. He doesn't say much, but as Scotland's premier canine tour guide he can help make your visit unique!
Follow me on Facebook for articles about Edinburgh and information about special events, or check out my Instagram for images of the city.
Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with any tour enquiries, or book your tour online today!

Teaching Web video: Everything you need to know now
In non-TV news organizations today, we see mostly one of two choices for video (or both of these):
iPhone (more than any other phone or small device)
DSLR (various models)
All the smaller video cams seem to have fallen out of favor. Only TV and feature-length documentary makers use high-end video cameras.
What does this mean for teaching in j-schools? Some great minds in multimedia journalism education have been discussing that on the Facebook group "ONA Educators," in response to a question posted on April 25, 2013. With permission of those named, here is what they said.

A new take on re-shaping the face, dr. brandt® skincare announces the launch of the new Needles No More® 3-D Filler Mask ($95 for 1.7 oz./ 50 g. Available now at Sephora stores nationwide, www.sephora.com and at www.drbrandtskincare.com) with two introductory campaigns: an exclusive tutorial video from Kristofer Buckle, and a social media initiative to benefit The Dr. Brandt Foundation.
Based on over 30 years of Dr. Brandt's unique knowledge of the skin, expansive clinical expertise and passion for research, his eponymous anti-aging skincare line is the premier choice of A-list celebrities, trusted beauty insiders and people from all walks of life seeking to improve their skin. The exacting science of the Brandt Method — a powerful working synergy of Dr. Brandt's medical practice, research institute, and skincare brand — culminates in cutting-edge treatments that deliver instant, visible results, with the art of subtlety.
To kick off the celebration, Buckle, a renowned makeup artist known for working with the world's top celebrities, stars in a new video highlighting his game-changing technique for the latest trend in beauty: contouring without makeup. The video will illustrate Buckle's method for revolumizing and filling facial contours with the Needles No More® 3-D Filler Mask, and will show how light reflecting on the concave and convex areas of the face can highlight telltale signs of aging. Premiering on both YouTube and at www.drbrandtskincare.com, the video is filled with invaluable contouring and anti-aging tips, making it easy to change the way light reflects off your face for a youthful look.
Inspired by injectable fillers used in cosmetic procedures, Needles No More® 3-D Filler Mask is a groundbreaking way to add volume and fullness to thinning skin. The mask plumps skin to restore youthful volume and natural contours, while filling in wrinkles and folds for an instantly smoother look. Packed with a revolutionary plumping complex known as Adipofill'in, the unique formula blends Hyaluronic Acid, which helps skin attract and retain moisture, with Regenerative Peptides to add volume for a re-contoured look and feel. Use to re-fill hollowed areas, such as beneath the eyes, the cheeks, above the mouth, and along the jawline. The formula helps combat thinning collagen, leaving skin looking visibly plumped, firm, and reshaped.
- 100% reported that lines and wrinkles are less visible and pronounced
- 94% reported that skin looks plumper
- 83% reported that the product filled in wrinkles and folds
HOW TO USE IT: After cleansing, brush product onto your skin, creating an inverted triangle from your chin up to your cheekbones. Then, gently pat on more as needed to plump up lines, hollows and folds. Leave on. Use daily.
In addition, the brand is launching its #PlumpUpTheVolume campaign, a social media movement to benefit the nonprofit organization founded in memory of the brand's founder, The Dr. Brandt Foundation. Just as the Needles No More™ 3-D Filler Mask plumps up the volume in your skin, the social campaign aims to foster a national dialogue about mental health by turning up the volume on the call for research, education and advocacy. For each Instagram post that tags @DrBrandt and features the hashtag #PlumpUpTheVolume, the brand will donate $1 toward the Foundation's work combatting depression and suicide. Best of all, a percentage of worldwide sales from the products will be donated to The Dr. Brandt Foundation.
