People can be wealthy while other people are starving, unfortunately that occurs quite often. But we cannot be happy in a vacuum, joyful beings who are an island to themselves; as mentioned, happiness is social and contagious. We also find the idea of Multilevel happiness appropriate. When it comes to multilevel marketing, often early the first movers (the ones at the top of the scheme) are the one profiting, while others are just feeding them; multilevel happiness creates joy for all, and sometimes the last to join even benefit from aggregated experiences and happiness of the friends who preceded them. Let's be agents of happiness!

Assessing: introduction: introduction to calculations
To collect Inheritance Tax and interest due to HMRC, and to account for the payments made to us, we calculate the amount due. All calculations are recorded on the SAGE (IHTM31851) system as an accounting check.
As the case owner you are responsible for issuing calculations and maintaining the accounting records.
Unless they are supported by a Notice of Determination (NOD) (IHTM37001) or you are issuing a clearance letter with them (IHTM40010), the calculations you raise are simply informal calculations of tax and interest. If the taxpayer or agent disagrees with the calculation, you must review the figures and resolve the discrepancy with them by letter or on the phone.
This section of the manual is broken down to provide:
- general guidance about the principles around raising a calculation,
- the mechanics of how you would prepare a calculation on COMPASS (IHTM31101) or on the manual template (IHTM31301), and then
- guidance on the calculations to include.
It also provides greater detail on deposits (IHTM31751) and your accounting responsibilities.
The guidance relates to death, lifetime and settlement calculations.

Jason Lobb is an excellent physical therapist. His expertise in identifying, addressing and solving my problem enabled me to recover fully from my injury.
Mountain Land Physical Therapy is second to none. I have had physical therapy many times but have never had such a positive experience as I had with Mountain Land.
David McGill is a very effective therapist and the entire staff at Mt. Land is very helpful and efficient.
We appreciate Sam Maw's attention to our elderly mother's overall health. … Her stability, balance and strength improved remarkably and she now has the tools and exercises to be able to continue some on her own at home.
Mountain Land Physical Therapy is an oasis of healing. I went in for a running examination and consultation. … Since changing my ways, and implementing Dr. Maw's suggestions, I run pain free every day.
Jason was great and I am so thankful for his knowledge and care, that he so freely shared with me.
Jason and the assistants were WONDERFUL! I was nervous and a little skeptical about physical therapy as I had never done this before. Everyone was so nice, friendly and supportive!
Danny has the magic hands to perform miracles on the pain in my neck. I always come to Mountainland when I have issues. I would not go anywhere else.
This is the third therapy office I have been to in the last couple of years and by far the best! You were encouraging, attentive and the level of care always matched or exceeded my expectations!
Danny and all the PTAs were very helpful, courteous and fun to be with. This is the second time I have used the Mountain Land on 39th South across from St Marks Hospital and if I have any other physical therapy needs, I will be back.

M&M Sugar Cookie
Panera Bread Copycat Recipe
1- ½ cups sugar
2 -½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 -¼ sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs
3 cups M&M's
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder and set aside. In a large bowl, beat on medium speed the soften (room temperature) butter, and sugar. Beat until creamy, approx 3 to 6 minutes. Add vanilla. Add eggs and beat until well blended. Then slowly add the flour a little at a time.
Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats. Wet your hands and roll about 1 and ½ – 2 tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball and place on cookie sheet. Be sure to leave plenty of space between cookies. I only put 8 cookies per cookie sheet. You may need to wash and wet your hands after three or four balls to avoid the dough sticking to your hands. Place as many or as few M&M's as you like onto each ball. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Panera Bread says their Chai Tea Latte is freshly brewed black tea with honey, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and foamed milk. So above recipe is not the same.ReplyDelete

(written from a Production point of view)
John Aniston (born 24 July 1933; age 87), birth name Yannis Anastassakis, is an actor who played the Quarren ambassador in the Star Trek: Voyager seventh season episodes "Workforce" and "Workforce, Part II".
He is best known to soap opera fans for playing Victor Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives, a role which he has played since 1985. He previously had roles on two other long-running soap operas: Love of Life from 1975 through 1978 and Search for Tomorrow from 1978 through 1984.
A Theater Arts graduate of Pennsylvania State University, Aniston has performed in numerous theatrical productions across the country. As he is primarily a theatrical actor, Aniston only appears intermittently on television outside of his Days of Our Lives role. He first appeared to TV audiences in a 1962 episode of 87th Precinct, starring TOS guest actor Robert Lansing. This was followed with appearances on I Spy (in an episode with Bill Quinn), The Virginian, Mission: Impossible (with Leonard Nimoy and Barbara Luna), That Girl (with James Gregory), and Kojak. He more recently had guest roles on The West Wing and Gilmore Girls, among others.
Aniston is the father of actress Jennifer Aniston and the former father-in-law of actor Brad Pitt.

Jagan defies high command: Odarpu Yatra from July 8
Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, Kadapa MP and son of late chief minister Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy, has asserted that his Odarpu yatra meant to console families of those who allegedly died of shock due to the death of his father, will continue on July 8 from Icchapuram in Srikakulam.
In an open letter to the people explaining the delay and uncertainty that shrouded his yatra, the Kadapa MP said the yatra was to wipe off the tears of the bereaved families and to assure them of his support. He released the letter just before leaving for Idupulapaya, the place of YSR Samadhi in Kadapa district. He said he would not go back on his promise to undertake the yatra which was first announced on September 25, 2009, from the dais of the commemoratory meeting organized in Nallakaluva in Kurnool district after his father's death on September 2.

It pains me, you know, to have to sit on a computer talking to people over the internet when I would much rather have them sitting with me, at my table, their pencils scratching furiously at their character sheets, their dice clattering across the table, their responses tangible and in real time. That's not me railing against technology, or decrying the death of face-to-face gaming as the digital age encroaches upon my hobby. Not at all. It's me finding it difficult to step away from the physical social gathering aspect of the game and transferring what I know to the internet.
Last Sunday's session went well, as far as I can tell. Feedback has been positive - which is incredibly relieving, to be truthful - and everyone is looking forward to the next session. What really helped is the fact that while some of us were new to D&D we were all new to roleplaying on the internet.
What I found so enjoyable about this session was the fact that I could go back to the part of running a roleplaying game I enjoy the most; weaving the story. Narrating the scene. Creating the reality the players were going to experience and, most of all, talk lots and lots of bollocks. I got to act the characters (what few there were) and really get my teeth into telling a story.
Of course, the game doesn't exist solely for me to show of what storytelling and roleplaying talents I imagine myself to have, and when I had set the scene and sat back, asking the players what they wanted to do, they really got stuck in. As expected some were a little quiet and maybe didn't get as involved as I would have liked but I put that down to the technology we were using as it can be difficult. I'm sure if we were sat around a table things would have been different.
Ahh... oh, for a table.
The players responded really well and I was proper impressed as to how patient, attentive and willing they were to get involved, ask questions and put their characters and their skills to good use. If this is what I have to look forward to in future sessions then I am more than looking forward to this new chapter in my hobby.
But, damn, do I want that table.

After two weeks of conference-defining wins, the ACC flies a bit under the radar this week, without a nonconference game against a ranked foe. But that doesn't mean there's no intrigue.
As always, thanks to ESPN Stats and Information and the ACC sports information departments for the research.
BOSTON COLLEGE: The Eagles travel to Los Angeles to take on Southern Cal, marking just their fourth trip to California for a regular-season game. Boston College has played in the state three other times in bowl games, including as recently as 2011, but its last trip to USC came in 1987. This marks a homecoming for quarterback Chase Rettig, who grew up in nearby Sierra Madre -- about 20 miles from the L.A. Coliseum.
DUKE: The Blue Devils open ACC play this weekend against Georgia Tech, with backup QB Brandon Connette getting his first career start in place of injured Anthony Boone. But despite the lack of starts, Connette is hardly green. He's accounted for multiple touchdowns in four straight games and has scored 25 times in 28 career appearances (17 rushing, seven passing, one receiving). His four passing touchdowns in 2013 are tied for the second-most among ACC QBs so far this season.
GEORGIA TECH: Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson was born in Newland, N.C. and attended Western Carolina University, in Cullowhee, but he hasn't been entirely kind to the schools in his home state. During his 17-year career, Johnson is 33-8 (.805) against teams from North Carolina, including a 15-2 mark since taking over at Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets open ACC play this week against Duke.
FLORIDA STATE: Jameis Winston's debut against Pittsburgh turned plenty of heads. He accounted for five touchdowns and threw just two incomplete passes. Winston was particularly good on deep balls, completing 7-of-8 throws of 15 yards or longer, accounting for 170 yards and two TDs. His 88 percent completion rate on such throws is the highest for any QB this season (minimum five attempts) and his seven completions tied for the most so far in 2013.
MARYLAND: The Terps picked off Old Dominion QB Taylor Heinicke three times in the first half of last week's win. It marked the first time a Maryland defense secured three interceptions in a single half since 2005, when Virginia Tech's Marcus Vick was picked off three times in the third quarter. The Terps lost that game, however, 28-9.
PITTSBURGH: Senior receiver Devin Street had a monster game in Pitt's opener, catching six passes for 141 yards. It was his seventh career 100-yard game, and the six receptions gave him 157 for his career. If Street can haul in five passes this week against New Mexico, he would pass Larry Fitzgerald for third in school history. Latef Grim holds the school record for catches with 178.
SYRACUSE: It's been a lackluster start to 2013 for the Orange offense, but tailback Jerome Smith continues to impress. A year ago, Smith was among the most dynamic backs in the Big East, racking up 1,176 yards rushing on 227 carries -- but managed just three touchdowns. It took Smith just 27 carries this year to match that total. He scored twice in the opener against Penn State and once more in last week's loss to Northwestern.
VIRGINIA TECH: Chris Mangus' 76-yard touchdown run against Western Carolina marked the second straight week in which Virginia Tech had a player score on a carry of 75 yards or more. Trey Edmunds ripped off a 77-yard touchdown against Alabama in the opener. That accounts for half of all the touchdown runs of 75 yards or more by Hokies players in the past decade. Oddly, the past three (Mangus, Edmunds and J.C. Coleman in 2012) to accomplish the feat were all freshmen.
WAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons host Louisiana-Monroe this week, providing a homecoming for ULM tight ends coach Jerry McManus. He played quarterback for Wake Forest in 1975 and 1976, starting nine games. His son, Ryan, played at Wake from 2006 through 2009 and now serves as a graduate assistant for the Deacons.

THE GRETTA SPOONE BAND - 'Close Your Eyes'/'I Do Believe You're Dreaming' (Pompeii 45-66694) 1968
Here's another record I bought back in 2005, at the time nothing was known about the weirdly named Gretta Spoone Band but since then group members have been located and their story has been told here.
They were quite an odd-ball Dallas bunch and if this record is anything to go by, sounded nothing like their contemporaries from Texas. Infact I think the lo-fi sound is very unique. Hopelessly uncommercial with little or no chance of any chart success but it's a personal fave of mine.
'Close Your Eyes' has a late night pop psychedelic feel to it with it's floaty charm, hazy melody and metronomic rhythm. Reminds me of the sound on those late 60s Capitol albums by the likes of Gandalf and The Common People.
'I Do Believe You're Dreaming' also holds my interest and apparently is about a man who talks to birds.

About Us
Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/10/2011 (3298 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It was a warm and fuzzy story that spoke of reclaiming something lost, had nationalistic undertones and provided a dandy boost to civic pride.
But the end of the opening chapter, frankly, could have used the deft touch of Disney's team of writers.
Sports has long taught us that the good guy isn't always guaranteed to get the girl, the hero doesn't always ride off into the sunset and the princess who smooches the frog in search of her prince sometimes is simply left staring back at the ugly amphibian.
The reborn Winnipeg Jets were sloppy, nervous and mistake-happy in a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens Sunday in front of 15,004 fanatics jammed into every nook and cranny of the MTS Centre in what was hardly a memorable National Hockey League debut, Part II.
And, no, it was hardly how so many had hoped the script would unfold.
"Tonight was pretty special as far as a historical point of view," said Jets winger Chris Thorburn. "It's just unfortunate we couldn't match the fans' enthusiasm on the ice. When it comes down to it, it's a business. We want to win hockey games. We want to make the playoffs. And it feels like we let them down. They've been waiting for this all summer and to come out and lose 5-1 is nothing to be proud of, from our point of view."
The Jets gift-wrapped the first two goals when a Johnny Oduya pass was gobbled up and buried by Mike Cammalleri 3:05 into the contest and with Oduya pick-pocketed by Tomas Plekanec for the second marker early in the second.
"We gave up some free pizzas in the middle of the ice," said Jets' head coach Claude Noel. "The first one was a free pizza that we gave up and that's exactly what good players do: turnovers result in goals. And good players get one chance and it's in the back of the net."
Winnipeg did cut the gap to 2-1 when Nik Antropov whacked home a rebound past Carey Price early in the third, but any momentum was sapped by an interference call on Dustin Byfuglien that led to a Yannick Weber power-play goal.
Price was steady in the Habs' net, kicking out 30 of 31 shots, while Ondrej Pavelec was also beaten by Max Pacioretty and Travis Moen. Plekanec also picked up two helpers to finish with three points.
Asked afterward what good he took from the game, Jets' captain Andrew Ladd said: "Not much, to be honest with you. The biggest thing is you've got to kinda get pissed off and expect more from each other. That's not the type of team we want to be. We've got to be better going forward. We've got to get going."
Amazingly, even after a dud of a debut, the Jets earned a standing ovation at the end.
"In Barrie (his OHL team) if that had happened fans would have been leaving half-way through the second period," said rookie Mark Scheifele. "To get a standing ovation after we lose shows we're going to have the fans behind us. We should have got them the win."
"I thought I was in Montreal or something because they were cheering for Montreal at the end," added Thorburn. "It just goes to show the type of fans we have here. They understand the game of hockey and they know when to chant and get our enthusiasm and motivation up. And it worked at times."
But it didn't work often enough. And the tale, this part of it at least, hardly has a storybook finish.

Improving Global Collective Action in a Connected World
Rising interdependence creates a need for greater global cooperation to manage basic policy problems, like providing economic stability and development, maintaining security and ensuring environmental sustainability. But the intergovernmental institutions the world has traditionally relied on to facilitate cooperation are increasingly gridlocked, resulting in a global 'governance gap'. This paper identifies common trends—rising multipolarity, harder problems, institutional inertia and fragmentation—that lead to gridlock across issue areas. It then identifies the vulnerabilities that this gridlock creates with reference to three issue areas: financial stability, human security and climate change. For each, global gridlock generates new impacts on the world's most marginalized populations. Finally, the paper considers the potential of new forms of global governance, many of them involving sub- and nonstate actors, to supplement multilateral processes and help fill some of the 'governance gap'. While such solutions offer no panacea, under certain conditions, they may help to reduce the vulnerabilities associated with a breakdown in multilateral cooperation.

Donald Trump's green "Make America Great Again" hats, designed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, have disappeared from the website for his joint fundraising committee. The link for the hat, which was on the site earlier this month, now reads, "We're sorry, but the page you're looking for could not be found. Go back to our homepage and check out some of our favourite items!" However, the URL still contains "official-make-america-great-again-green-hat." Capture the luck of the Irish with this Make America Great Again Hat. While supplies last! BUY NOW: https://t.co/TbqIm56aoY #MAGA pic.twitter.com/PCZLl7HXdD — Official Team Trump (@TeamTrump) March 2, 2017 The hat's disappearance comes after several people on social media pointed out its design flaw: The back of the hat featured a four-leaf clover instead of a three-leaf shamrock, which is used as a symbol of Ireland. The Twittersphere made sure Trump was aware of the mistake, with one user writing, "That's not a Shamrock! Make America Smart Again #MASA not #MAGA." One Ireland-based clothing company called Hairy Baby even responded by creating a St. Patrick's Day shirt that features a four-leaf clover with the words "This Is a Shamrock" and the hashtag #AlternativeFacts. The original red "Make America Great Again" baseball caps were seen on Trump and his supporters during the presidential election campaign. After the election, Trump debuted a new cap that read "USA" in front and "45" on the right side (for 45th president of the United States). The committee told The Hollywood Reporter that the green hats are "sold out at this time." March 10, 12:10 p.m. Updated with a statement from the committee.

Tropical Cyclone Oli (12P) Expected to Intensify Steadily
Tropical Cyclone Oli (12P), located approximately 540 nautical miles north-northwest of Rarotonga, has tracked southeastward at 20 knots over the past six hours. The initial intensity of 50 knots is based on Dvorak intensity estimates ranging from 45 to 55 knots. Maximum significant wave height is 18 feet.
The system will continue to track along the southern periphery of the near equatorial ridge for the next 48 hours, then slow as the subtropical ridge to the east picks up the system and tracks it increasingly poleward.
All the while, the cyclone will continue to steadily intensify under improved upper level venting and low vertical wind shear. Sea surface temperatures will not fall below 26 degrees Celsius until near TAU 96, around the same time the cyclone will begin extratropical transition. Vertical wind shear will also elevate as the system gains latitude. Both of these factors will contribute to slow weakening beyond TAU 72.
This forecast has been shifted south of the last forecast in response to the cyclone trending southeastward over the past 12 hours. The track has also been slowed, especially in the later TAUs, in line with a slower model consensus.

SkyBus, the company that operates busses between Auckland's CBD and the airport, is launching a new North Shore service on July 1.
The new service will include free Wi-Fi and luggage storage, and promises online discounts as well as a reduced ticket price for seniors. Children will also travel for free.
The service will start at Civic Crescent in Albany, then head south along the Northern Busway, stopping at Smales Farm and Akoranga, before heading straight to Auckland Airport.
At a cost of $25 one-way, it's considerably cheaper than many taxi or shuttle services, and launch fares of $1 are available until mid-July.
SkyBus has invested over $3 million dollars in new busses that will arrive in 2019.
North Shore Councillor Richard Hills, says "it's great to see another option for Shore residents to get to the airport which will mean quicker trip for many and help reduce congestion on our transport network"
The North Shore service will operate every half hour.
Tickets can be purchased on the SkyBus website, from the driver or from special ticket kiosks at Westfield in Albany.
What form of transport do you usually use to get to the airport?

The Coyotes system has shifted this spring because of the graduation of Michael Stone as well as the emergence of Connor Murphy and Jordan Szwarz.
The organization continues to boast immense depth on the blue line. They also seem to have an assembly line churning out big, hard-nosed wingers. The Coyotes AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates, have suffered through a rough, basement dwelling season. Several key Pirates have missed large stretches due to injury. In spite of the losses, Portland coach Ray Edwards has been hard at work, initiating several key prospects to the rigors of professional hockey. Tobias Rieder, James Melindy, and Mathieu Brisebois are all experiencing the grind of a full professional hockey season for the first time in 2013-14.
1. (1) Brandon Gormley, D, 8.0C
Drafted 1st round, 13th overall, 2010
Gormley was an NHL-ready defenseman entering 2013-14. Nothing has happened to change his status. There is simply a glut of defensemen in the Coyotes organization signed to one-way contracts. Gormley, with his two-way deal which is exempt from waivers, is the odd man out. In particular, on his natural left side where Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Keith Yandle are ahead of him on the depth chart and chewing up most of the minutes.
For the moment, from a developmental standpoint, the AHL is a better place for him. In Portland he plays over 25 minutes a night in diverse situations. In a lineup that finds itself outgunned and under siege on a nearly nightly basis, the coaching staff leans on Gormley heavily to keep them competitive. In Phoenix, he would probably play 10 minutes a night or less. With Ekman-Larsson and Yandle as alternatives, coach Dave Tippett would only deploy Gormley in extremely sheltered situations.
2. (2) Max Domi, C, 7.5C
Drafted 1st round, 12th overall, 2013
After Phoenix sent him back to the OHL's London Knights following his first NHL training camp, Domi got off to a slow start. He was not scoring at his usual pace, but most alarming, he lost his sense of the line between aggressive hockey and dirty play. Instead of being an agitator getting under the opponent's skin, he was a liability, taking crippling penalties. His poor start was probably the driving factor in Hockey Canada leaving Domi off of their 2014 World Junior Championship roster. Since the beginning of December he has righted the ship. His Knights are beginning to show more consistency as they head toward the Memorial Cup. Individually, Domi currently stands fifth in the OHL scoring race with 29 goals and 53 assists for 82 points in 51 games.
3. (3) Henrik Samuelsson, C, 7.5C
Drafted 1st round, 27th overall, 2012
Samuelsson also missed out on attending the World Junior Championships. His skating ability has always been his Achilles heel and the prevailing logic is that this shortcoming is how USA Hockey justified passing him over for the tournament played on the big international ice surface in Malmo, Sweden.
The snub is about the only stain on an otherwise stellar 2013-14. Samuelsson has been among the WHL's leading scorers since the beginning of the season, currently totaling 29 goals and 48 assists. With his veteran leadership, the Edmonton Oil Kings sit on top of the Eastern Conference and boast the stingiest team defense in the entire WHL.
4. (7) Connor Murphy, D, 7.0B
Drafted 1st round, 20th overall, 2011
Murphy has jumped up more than any prospect in the Coyotes system this season. On November 16th, he scored a goal in his NHL debut against Tampa Bay. Since then, Murphy has carved out a niche on the right side of the Coyotes defensive corps. The 6'3 Murphy has dressed for 26 NHL games so far this season. He was deployed with Oliver Ekman-Larsson on the Coyotes top pairing and in penalty killing and defensive zone situations.
Recently, Murphy has taxied back and forth between Phoenix and Portland. This seems to be more of a development technique than a demotion. Murphy's game has not shown any signs of dropping off. The extra touch of time and space in the AHL offers him the opportunity to fine tune some flaws in his play that were exposed in the break-neck pace of NHL play. The fact that he has acquired a degree of Dave Tippett's hard-won trust bodes well for his future in the desert.
5. (5) David Rundblad, D, 7.5D
Acquired via trade with Ottawa, December 2011
David Rundblad has only dressed for 12 Phoenix Coyotes games this season. He has spent the rest of his time in the press box. He was signed to a one-way contract in the summer of 2013, meaning an attempt to send him down to Portland for seasoning would expose him to waivers and he would probably be plucked by a rival club. The only other roster move at Don Maloney's disposal would be a trade.
Like many young skilled defenseman, Rundblad has a tendency to make poor decisions that result in scoring opportunities for the opposition. Tippett has always had a low tolerance for players who gamble in order to produce offense. He does not even tolerate this type of behavior from his forwards, not to mention a defenseman. It makes complete sense that a coach like this would be apprehensive about playing a defenseman like Rundblad, especially with more experienced and effective puck-movers like Ekman-Larsson and Yandle already in the lineup.
However, Rundblad has always clearly been an offensive-minded defenseman. This was obvious when they traded Kyle Turris for him in 2011. It was obvious when they signed him to a new contract over the summer. It will be obvious when the trade deadline approaches this season. Turris has already leveraged his way out of Phoenix. Whatever Rundblad's deficiencies may be, he has a one-way contract stating he is an NHL-caliber hockey player. As he loses value with every healthy scratch, Maloney may need to consider trading him for pennies on the dollar in order to do right by the player and do what is in the best long-term interests of the Phoenix Coyotes organization.
6. (6) Lucas Lessio, LW, 7.0C
Drafted 2nd round, 56th overall, 2011
After threatening to make the Coyotes roster out of training camp, Lessio has settled into a top-six role in Portland. The big physical winger started shaky but currently has 16 goals and 17 assists in 43 AHL games. Along with the uptick in offensive production, Lessio has been more consistent about being an abrasive physical presence and conscientious defensive hockey player. These are the attributes that will endear him to the Coyotes front office and earn him NHL exposure until he finds his scoring touch at the highest level.
7. (8) Laurent Dauphin, C, 7.0C
Drafted 2nd round, 39th overall, 2013
Dauphin continues to be a model of consistency for the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in the QMJHL even though there have been a few setbacks this season. First, he was suspended for a check from behind in the Subway Series then Chicoutimi's most reliable scoring threat, Charles Hudon, was traded away as the Sagueneens slipped out of the playoff race. Despite the adversity, Dauphin leads his team in scoring with 23 goals and 30 assists through 50 games. He has managed this output while playing a 200-foot game which should transition fluidly into the Coyotes system.
8. (9) Chris Brown, LW, 7.0C
Drafted 2nd round, 36th overall, 2009
Chris Brown has bounced back and forth between Portland and Phoenix all season. In Portland, he has scored 13 goals and 19 assists in 45 games, beginning to consistently utilize his size and strength to generate scoring opportunities from down low off the forecheck. In Phoenix, he is often recalled on an emergency basis. He is often slotted into the press box where the adaptability of his game makes him a useful injury replacement. In the six NHL games he did dress for, Brown has not managed to get on the score sheet.
9. (10) Tobias Rieder, RW, 7.5D
Drafted 4th round, 114th overall, 2011
Rieder may be the most natural goal-scorer on the Portland Pirates. After an injury in the second game of the season, the German has come back to score 16 goals. Rieder has transitioned decently in his rookie professional season. However, like most goal-scorers coming out of junior, he must improve his defensive zone awareness. This is being facilitated in Portland where he is being deployed in situations he was rarely exposed to with the Kitchener Rangers such as penalty kills and late-game defensive zone face-offs.
10. (11) Mark Visentin, G, 7.0C
Drafted 1st round, 27th overall, 2010
Visentin's numbers are not glimmering this season. Playing the bulk of the minutes in Portland, he has a 3.26 goals against average and .902 save percentage. A lot of this can be attributed to the opposition pinning the Pirates down in their own zone. Being stuck in these dire circumstances has revealed Visentin's stability. He continues to compete and conduct himself professionally on a nightly basis. In a tough season for Portland on and off the ice, these are good qualities for the younger prospects to be exposed to. They are also useful attributes for the typical working environment of an NHL back-up goaltender.
11. (18) Jordan Szwarz, RW, 6.0B
Drafted 4th round, 97th overall, 2009
Like Connor Murphy, Szwarz is another pleasant surprise for the Coyotes. Initially, he was named captain of the Portland Pirates but early on, Don Maloney decided Szwarz's leadership and on-ice persistence might be useful commodities in Phoenix. He drew into the lineup on the fourth line and what began as an audition has grown into 26 NHL games played in 2013-14.
He has only scored three goals but has performed his role well. It is much easier said than done to play with the high energy demanded of a fourth liner while avoiding poor, emotionally influenced decisions. Szwarz has done an uncanny job of maintaining this balance.
Like Murphy, Szwarz was recently sent back to Portland but this appears to be more of a predetermined step in his development rather than any response to his recent performance. He has jumped up and made a huge stride this season toward becoming an NHL regular.
12. (12) Andy Miele, C, 7.0D
Signed as a free agent, April 2011
Although the Portland Pirates reside in the basement of the Atlantic Division, Miele is again one of the best playmakers in the AHL. He is currently tied as the eighth leading scorer in the league with 20 goals and 27 assists. The former Hobey Baker winner was called up to Phoenix earlier in the season. Playing in a defensive role, which does not accommodate his finesse style and small stature, Miele registered two assists in four games. He had difficulty competing in the physical areas of the rink and was not able to mitigate this by creating opportunities in small amounts of time and space like he does in the AHL.
13. (13) Brendan Shinnimin, C, 6.5D
Signed as a free agent, March 2012
Shinnimin has only six goals and 10 assists in 30 games with Portland this season. It was anticipated that he would be a dynamic playmaker, driving production on the second line like Andy Miele does on the first. However, against Bridgeport on New Year's Eve, he was on the receiving end of a violent head shot from Marc Cantin. Cantin was suspended. Shinnimin has only appeared in three games since.
14. (14) Jordan Martinook, C, 6.5D
Drafted 2nd round, 58th overall, 2012
Martinook has been a fixture in the Portland Pirates lineup throughout the season. He has seven goals and six assists, which makes it safe to assume that Martinook's prolific scoring from his junior days with the Vancouver Giants probably will not translate to professional hockey. The 2013-14 season has been a continuation of 2012-13 for Martinook as he converts his game to the grinding, defense-first approach that is so valued in Phoenix. Originally drafted as a center, Martinook has played the bulk of his games at left wing where his skating ability will be sheltered and less crucial to his success.
15. (16) Yan-Pavel Laplante, C, 6.5D
Drafted 3rd round, 62nd overall, 2013
Laplante was traded from the QMJHL's Charlottetown Checkers to the Victoriaville Tigres in December. Being traded from an uncompetitive club to one in the thick of the playoff race was certainly a positive development for Laplante. Along with the potential to experience more team success, Victoriaville has also provided Laplante the opportunity to play a shutdown role that is more appropriate for his skills and more closely resembles the role he will play in professional hockey. In Charlottetown, he was arguably their best player and relied upon to provide scoring production. Laplante has 20 goals between both clubs this season.
16. (15) Philip Lane, RW, 6.5D
Drafted 2nd round, 52nd overall, 2010
In his second professional season, Lane has scored only two goals and three assists in just 25 games. He struggled early on in the season then missed a huge chunk of games with a lower body injury. He returned to the lineup on January 17th against Springfield and has not missed a game since.
17. (17) Ethan Werek, C, 6.5D
Acquired via trade with the New York Rangers, May 2011
Like Phil Lane, Werek is another Pirate that has not played for an enormous amount of the season. Because of an undisclosed injury, Werek has only appeared in 28 games, scoring three goals and four assists. The 6'3 forward, who is still developing into his big frame, has not missed a game since returning to the lineup on January 10th against Norfolk.
18. (20) James Melindy, D, 6.0C
Drafted 3rd round, 88th overall, 2012
Although he played a couple AHL games following the 2012-13 QMJHL season, 2013-14 is essentially Melindy's rookie professional season. A knee injury suffered early on has limited him to 19 games. Fortunately, he appears to have fully rehabilitated. The final stretch of the regular season should provide a glimpse into how much of Melindy's all-around game can translate into professional hockey.
19. (NR) Louis Domingue, G, 6.0C
Drafted 5th round, 138th overall, 2010
Domingue was called up to Portland from the ECHL's Gwinnett Gladiators following an injury to their regular back-up, Mike Lee. He responded well to this opportunity. He stuck around, continued to play well and has essentially displaced Lee as Portland's back-up goaltender. In 19 AHL appearances, Domingue has posted a 2.79 goals against average and .917 save percentage. These numbers are not sterling but they are respectable when taking the shaky play in front of him into account. With talented goalies coming up behind him in the pipeline, it was important for Domingue to make a statement this season.
20. (NR) Mathieu Brisebois, D, 6.0C
Signed as a free agent, March 2013
Brisebois is experiencing all the highs and lows of a defenseman cast into his rookie professional season. With Rouyn-Noranda in the QMJHL he was a dynamic puck-moving defenseman. With just one goal and three assists in Portland this season, he has not yet revealed this dimension of his game. At 5'10, Brisebois has also had trouble winning battles in the corners and the goal crease. This is simply a period of his career he must endure. With his skating and puck-handling ability, as he matures mentally and physically, he should be able to correct these aspects of his game.

Liberal Media Covers For Michelle After Her 'Shocking Behavior' At Public Events Comes Out
Breaking News: Liberal Media Covers For Michelle After Her 'Shocking Behavior' At Public Events Comes Out

The liberal media has been covering up Michelle Obama's shocking behavior at recent public events as she crisscrosses the country, making a ton of cash at speaking events. If this was just a one-time thing, it could be excused, but this has happened time and time again. Of course, Michelle knows she has the mainstream media in her pocket, and they will protect her at all costs. However, we have uncovered what she is hiding.
Michelle Obama has been jetting all over the country appearing at various events as the keynote speaker. We know she is raking in cash, getting anywhere between 0,000 – 0,000 dollars per event. Many see her as testing the waters for a run in 2020 for president, and her latest upcoming trip to Connecticut only cements that notion.
But, before we get to that, there is something really strange in her behavior that the mainstream media refuses to address. Michelle is doing at least one speaking engagement per week for the last two months. While most speakers beg the media to cover their speaking engagements, Michelle is implementing a complete blackout.
Not only is the media not able to attend, but before she comes out on stage, an announcer tells the audience there are to be no pictures or videos taken. Staffers are out in the audience making sure no one uses their cell phone. This has been happening since June 2017.
"Michelle Obama is speaking at Apple's developer's conference in San Jose on Tuesday [June 8th, 2017], but unless you're one of the lucky people able to attend in person, you might not find out what she has to say. Apple has closed the speech by the former First Lady to the press. A Business Insider reporter who had queued up to attend the speech was pulled out of line by company representatives," reported Business Insider.
But, it was not only Apple — it's Michelle, that's what the press isn't telling you. Just last week, Mad World News reported, "[T]he mainstream media were aghast when Michelle's handlers forbid them from videoing any portion of her 'Dream Force 2017' keynote address that she just delivered Tuesday morning [November 7th, 2017]. Press were there as 'guests only.'"
Now, we have it happening again in Connecticut, and the local press isn't too happy. "Press Not Welcome at Sold-Out Bushnell Speech by Michelle Obama," reports The Hartford Courant. The report adds, "Doris Sugarman, co-founder and executive director of the Connecticut Forum, said Obama's agent, the Harry Walker Agency, stipulated that the speech be closed to the media."
"Press credentials are just not available,'' Sugarman said. The agency could not immediately be reached for comment.
David Fay, president and CEO of The Bushnell, said the venue will honor Michelle Obama's request to bar the press. "We're not in a position to be…rocking the boat,'' Fay said. "We always respect the wishes of whoever is appearing on our stage."
As you can tell by the comments of those involved in Connecticut, they are finding it rather odd, and it is odd. So, what could be the rationale behind a media blackout? This is only speculation, but two things come to mind. One, she is running for president and her advisors do not want certain anti-Trump things that she is saying out there making her look like she is "going low." We know from those who have attended these talks that she has made "veiled anti-Trump" comments.
Or, it's possible that she is running for president and she wants to compile clips in a "Michelle's greatest hits" video to sell to her liberal loser fans or use in campaign ads. It's hard to tell. Really, we don't understand the blackout. What we do know is that it is very odd. What is she saying that cannot be heard by all Americans?
Leave it to Michelle Obama to bar the media from her events, and then, like the good sheep they are, they still praise her. If President Donald Trump or Melania did that after they left the White House, the media would be accusing them of plotting a revolution or some kind of takeover.
Connecticut is a clue, though, since it is one of the first primary states, like Iowa. Politicians like to start building a following in advance. I guess Michelle Obama figures she is just too special and only the chosen lucky few get to see her in person, the rest of the idiots on the left will understand. She sees herself like royalty, no pictures or videos allowed. Disgusting.

Southern California wildfires pose health risks to children
In October of 2003, multiple wildfires raged throughout Southern California. Now, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) report that residents without asthma in wildfire-endangered regions suffered as much as those with asthma.
The findings appear in the Dec. 1 print issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The study is the subject of the journal's cover story and is accompanied by an editorial written by Sverre Vedal, M.D. of the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine.
Using existing populations from the ongoing USC-led Children's Health Study (CHS), researchers led by Nino Künzli, M.D.,Ph.D., associate professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, sent questionnaires to thousands of residents in 16 cities covered by the Children's Health Study. These ranged from Alpine in San Diego County north to Atascadero.
"The Children's Health Study is a valuable study for us," says Künzli. "The smoke from the fires that year came as a very strong additional problem to the smog and airborne particulates we normally see affecting the health of our children. It was vital for us to understand how and where the fires affected the participants of the CHS study."
The October 2003 fires covered more than 3,000 square miles and destroyed 3,640 homes. Plumes of smoke dominated the region for several days raising particulate matter 10 to 20 times normal levels.
While many previous wildfire studies had focused on hospital admissions and emergency room visits, there had been less research into the consequences of wildfire smoke on children's health. Since many communities affected by the fires were already associated with the Children's Health Study, Künzli and colleagues saw an opportunity to better assess the effects of the wildfires in an exceptionally large study.
While some of what they found was to be expected– increased nose, eye, throat irritations, for instance– what was surprising was that the relative increase in symptoms tended to be strongest among those without asthma.
"Children with asthma were more likely to take preventive action, such as wearing masks or staying indoors during the fire," says Künzli. "It appears that taking preventive action might indeed have reduced the health problems.'
While it is difficult to rigorously evaluate the effects of potentially protective measures such as wearing masks or staying indoors in such a study as this, the data do imply that simple protective measures as promoted by public agencies appears to reduce the health consequences, suggests Künzli.
"One thing this study shows us is that during severe wildfires, children who do not have asthma may be experiencing what it is like to live with asthma," he says. "That's not to say that asthmatics weren't affected. In fact, for several symptoms, we saw that asthmatics have as many health problems during times without fire smoke than what non-asthmatics reported for the days with the highest levels of smoke."
The findings are a step towards further investigations into identifying those at highest risk to wildfires and other airborne pollutants such as smog. "It also appears that smoke, whether it be from fires or tobacco (as seen in previous CHS studies) is unlikely to pose the same health threat to all people. Identifying those at highest risk – due to genetic or other similar factors– is an important next step," says Künzli.

J Mascis Returns with Another Subtle Work in 'Elastic Days'
Dinosaur Jr. guitarist/vocalist J Mascis carries on with his trademark solo sound on Elastic Days, producing another intricate work that mixes folk and rock.
Elastic Days
J Mascis
Sub Pop
9 November 2018
During the late 1980s, Dinosaur Jr. emerged into the alternative rock scene, taking on the trademark hard rock sound and infusing it with the use of distortion and an ample dose of feedback. The band went on to release a series of records, finding early on a trademark recipe in stellar releases such as You're Living All Over Me and The Bug, and from that point on simply kept circling these elements. Before their breakup in the late '90s, vocalist/guitarist J Mascis began releasing his solo works, unveiling a different side of his creative potential.
On his debut record Martin + Me, Mascis switched from the heavy distortion of his main band and the hard rock aesthetics towards an amalgamation of folk, world music, country, and rock. Composing more intricate and delicate songs, the works of Mascis displayed a kinship to Neil Young's solo work. Still, Mascis would come to release his most potent work as a solo artist a few years later with the mesmerizing Several Shades of Why. The stripped down, minimal aesthetics and the melancholic quality of the record formed a great combination, and one that Mascis followed with his next album Tied to a Star, and now his new full-length Elastic Days.
The strongest weapon in Mascis' arsenal is the warm sensation that his acoustic guitar brings. The start of the opening track "See You at the Movies" is a prime example of that effect, letting on a sense of ease with its opening strums. Through the many delicate moments of the record that aspect always remains a constant, conjuring a deeper emotive sense, as is the case with "Drop Me". The lead parts of the acoustic guitar display a similar approach, producing a hypnotic result, as is the case with the beginning of "I Went Dust", dropping some fantastic melodies and creating an otherworldly sense. On the other hand, the sparse electric guitar provides a further layer of rockiness to this work, enhancing the emotional tonality of the album. No matter if it appears distorted or with a cleaner perspective it is always presented at the right time and with the ideal melody, as occurs in "Web So Dense".
Where Elastic Days breaks new ground for Mascis is in the use of drums, which are prominent throughout this work. As a result, the album makes a move towards a rockier sound and slightly away from the folk aesthetic, and this provides the record with more energy and a more pronounced sense of urgency. The past solo works of Mascis displayed an ethereal presence, aided by their decoupling from a pronounced rhythmic component, but here the drums act as an anchor to the music. They add a more pronounced sense of movement and progression, and they produce more powerful moments, as is the case with the breaks in "Cut Stranger".
At the end of the day, Mascis produces an expected work with Elastic Days. From his trademark vocal delivery, enhanced by the performances of guest vocalists Paul Jenkins (Black Heart Procession), Mark Mulcahy (Miracle Legion) and Zoe Randell (Luluc), Mascis' provides the storytelling element with his trademark sense of lyricism. The balancing between folk and rock is still present; the songwriting is straightforward, yet endearing. Even though this is not a revolutionary work, it shows that this guy is a great, skilled songwriter and Elastic Days displays all the wisdom he has gathered through the years.

it's not nesting yet,..
It's just a form of mental preparation. Since we didn't know phoebe was a girl before she was born, I already have some gender neutral newborn pieces. Enough to hold me for at least a month I think.

cloth diapering
Check these out!
We love cloth over here. But the coming of this new baby has got me researching. Again. We use these. And they work fine. But I'm like the idea of switching to all natural fibers. I think they might come up fresher for a longer period of time. Anybody have any experience with wool and cotton?

kitchen inspiration
I really like the wicker baskets on this top shelf. I have some top shelf space that could easily hold these. Also, the kids bunk bed is high up of the ground, and I don't enjoy looking under it. More baskets means more storage and less eye sores. Here are some nice baskets here. And here are some more. Can you have to many baskets?

I know its very early to be schooling a three year old. But, he has been diligently asking to learn to read all summer. He also pays a grand share of his attentions towards time telling and numbers. So I figured we could start out slow.
So far he has been a great encouragement to me. He's eager and excited. Asking to do "school" for a second time during the day. Little miss kitty, who will not be left out of anything, has been learning her colors. But in truth she is a bit more of a distraction that anything else. We love her all the more. So, here's to another week.

Latah county fair
It's been pretty busy over here. Between having visitors, sick children, and starting to homeschool, I have gladly taken a break from blogging. But it's not a permanent break. I've been thrifting a lot and getting good deals I'd love to post about,..but until I get some pictures of the goodies I've found, I'll let you in on our grand fair event. We had a blast and so did the kids. Sam got to ride some fun little rides, and we enjoyed looking at all the prize winning livestock. ( my favorite part). Now I want to raise sheep along with the chickens. Reality only allows for chickens right now. But hey, a girl can dream right?

For years, I primarily heard marriage described as 'hard.'
So many parts of me rebel at that idea. Marriage is deeply joyful, fulfilling, and yes, even happy. It is full of sacrifice and dying to self, but I never wanted my first words about marriage to be that it is first and foremost hard.
Using the word "hard" to describe this new adventure that is marriage meant in my mind that our marriage is off to a rocky start, or that it is a roller coaster of emotions and unreasonableness.
But I am realizing that marriage is, in fact, hard. And hard is not bad.
Every season in life is hard. Middle school is hard. College is hard. Adult life is hard. Hard does not mean that we despair. It does not mean that we are a mess and if we could just get our life together, it would no longer need to be hard.
Marriage is just another season that presents challenges and changes and asks great things of us. Every season in life has the same ultimate end for the Christian: sainthood. Sainthood is won primarily through hardship and suffering.
I am so happy to be married. But it is hard. The sting of loneliness in a new city, the struggles in this new season that we are entering of waiting to move again, and the daily opportunities to navigate this making of one life from two lives prove to be quite hard at times.
So I am slowly learning that "hard" is not a bad word.
Hardship does not mean we are not happy or that we love each other less.
Hardship means that the refiner's fire is in this season, just as it has been in every season before and will be in every one after. The fire is here in the hardship and in the joys, consuming our dross, refining our gold, and crafting us into saints.
It is hard. And that is okay.

MUMBAI: Reliance Jio Infocomm (Jio) unleashed another price disruption in an heavily debt-riddled industry, wherein all existing tariff plans with 1GB data have been revised to offer either 50% more data or a Rs 50 discount, amove which could hit the average revenue per user of rivals such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular.
The Mukesh Ambani-owned telco, with some 160 million users, has slashed the prices of four of its plans by Rs 50. So, for example, customers who were paying Rs 199 for 1GB a day will now pay Rs 149 for that amount of data for 28 days.Read more ↓
To target the data guzzling subscribers, the new entrant has plans at Rs 198, Rs 398, Rs 448 and Rs 498 with 1.5 GB a day for 28 days, 70 days, 84 days and 91 days respectively.
This means while a subscriber gets 1GB a day for Rs 198-199 under the price plan offered by the incumbents such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone India, he or she will get 42GB data for a similar price under Jio.
For 1GB a day, a customer can also opt for plans priced at Rs 349, Rs 399 and Rs 449 with validity of 70 days, 84 days and 91 days respectively. Competitor Bharti Airtel offers 2GB a day for Rs 349 which is valid 28 days. Jio's Rs 399 plan, which has been amongst its most popular offer, has been revised to offer 20% additional data with increased validity of 2 additional weeks.
Analysts say the new plans, available to the customers from January 9, could hit the average revenue per user (ARPU) – a key industry metric – of incumbents by 20-30%
"How can the incumbents match up? The ARPUs will take a severe beating since incumbents will now have to play catch up," said a telecom analyst who did not want to be named. And if incumbents match what Jio is offering, their subscribers may want to opt for those lower priced plans, diluting ARPU.
ET had earlier written that the industry under a debt of Rs 5 lakh crore has seen a 40% drop in ARPU in the September end quarter compared to same period last year.
The telecom industry, engulfed in brutal tariff war, was hoping for stability this year, since the Mukesh Ambani owned telco had inched their tariff plans upwards a couple of times last year.
Analysts say that the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology used by the operators is allowing the new entrant more flexibility, say industry analysts. "Jio uses VoLTE which allows more data services at cheaper costs while incumbents are on mainly on 4G LTE services and for them these new plans are cash guzzlers," said a second analyst who did not want to be named as well.
While Jio's entire network is built on VoLTE while Airtel has just rolled out the technology for its users, and is expanding it across India. Vodafone and Idea have said they will roll it out shortly.
"The telco (Jio) is covering customers across all price bands, ensuring more will join them and those who have been their subscribers remain satisfied with the huge data benefits," said the analyst quoted above. Till now for Rs 149 plan in Jio, a subscriber would get only 4GB data a month.
The new offers are meant for telco's Prime subscribers, who are the set of subscribers that have taken up the one-time annual membership fee of Rs.99.

With the rise of new communication technologies and the Internet, face-to-face interaction has been largely replaced by conference calls, emails, or text messages. But, although these modes of communication are necessary and important, don't underestimate the value of engaging with someone in person.
In one of our first blog posts, we talked about an agent with a difficult issue who discussed the challenge with us and set a strategy for moving forward. Then, the agent asked: "Should I send my client an email detailing what we've discussed?"
In these types of situations, where important issues need to be resolved or discussed, an email doesn't leverage the most powerful aspects of communication. In an article on Forbes, contributor Carol Goman wrote: "In face-to-face meetings, our brains process the continual cascade of nonverbal cues that we use as the basis for building trust and professional intimacy. Face-to-face interaction is information-rich. We interpret what people say to us only partially from the words they use. We get most of the message (and all of the emotional nuance behind the words) from vocal tone, pacing, facial expressions and body language."
Investing your time and attention with your clients by having a conversation in person is the best way to resolve the tough issues. And, it's also important to check in (in-person) periodically with your most important clients in order to sustain and grow the business relationship.
When was the last time you had a face-to-face meeting with a long-time client? Did you have an in-person meeting with a client the last time you were working to resolve a big issue?

SPRING HILL — People Helping People's Weekend Blessings Program has expanded to Westside Elementary School this year.
People Helping People is a Hernando County volunteer program, funded by donations, which works to fight hunger in people of all ages.
The Weekend Blessings program provides food to children at participating schools, so they do not go hungry and can return to school each Monday ready to learn.
About 85 percent of the students at Westside, the latest addition to the program, are eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Eleven students are participating so far, said elementary assistant Pam Kasten. "We're just starting this."
People Helping People "came to our school and said, 'we're willing to help more needy families.' They bring enough food for the child and their siblings for the weekend," Kasten said.
The school identifies children who would benefit from the program and invites them to pick up backpacks filled with food to take home. The filled backpacks are dropped off by People Helping People volunteers on Friday and the empty ones collected on Monday.
The foods items include cereal bars, toaster pastries, canned chicken or tuna, beans and wieners, ravioli, cheese or peanut butter crackers, raisins, nuts, apple sauce, Jell-O or pudding, canned soups, ramen noodles, juices and milk boxes.
"I think it's great," Kasten said. "I'm glad to be a part of it; to see the kids' faces when they get it. They're so excited. They say, "Ooooh, it's Friday. We get our backpacks!" Kasten noted that parents are very appreciative, too.
"You wouldn't think that many people are in need, but there's more than you think," she said. "It really is a blessing."

Pregnancy and Chiropractic
Mothers have their spines realigned while sitting, laying on their backs, and on tables that have partitions that fold away from the abdomen (when necessary).
Damage to the Spine: During the course of pregnancy the pressure on the spine increases and causes changes to the curves. This can irritate nerves that go to the lower back and legs and can adversely effect the function of reproductive organs. This pressure can also damage nerves which can cause sciatica. During pregnancy biomechanical and postural changes happen which can effect the function of your spine in the future. Chiropractic care helps improve the mechanics of the spine.
Labor: Many patients have discovered that labor is easier with chiropractic care. Taking care of the nervous system allows the powerful birthing muscles to coordinate better therefore being more efficient. Some patients have noted that delivery has been easier while they were under chiropractic care during there entire pregnancy.
Medication: Chiropractic is gentle and effective! and helps your body heal without the use of drugs that will cause damage to your child. Mothers should note that most medications are passed on to their child through breast milk or the placenta. Breast milk is one of the most important forms of nutrition and helps form the immunity in your child. Mothers should breast feed as long as possible.

It is a particular blessing to be a part of this church family. We are blessed to have each other, our elders, and our pastor. Scripture encourages us to bear each other's burdens, and as such please allow me to ask you to pray this week (not that you don't otherwise) for each other, our elders, and our pastor.
Please bear with me for a moment...
Do you ever set out to read half of a book? Listen to half of a song or watch half of a movie? What about just listen to half of a sermon? The point I suppose I am trying to make is that each Sunday our pastor is challenged to keep the sermon to a particular length of time. There are good reasons for this, but what happens when, in order to meet that demand, the message has to be chopped into multiple sermons and preached over the course of weeks instead of a single Sunday morning?
I suppose all kinds of things can happen. Sometimes some of us only hear the first part or the last part as we might not be present for each sermon, but another scenario is that during the week(s) in between Sundays we might be overburdened or not burdened enough as we have only heard part of the message.
Paige is taking us through some potentially heavy sections of God's Word right now. He has such a love for this flock that I think you might even say he's carrying a special burden during these few weeks as he sees these passages weigh on some of us. Please pray for him, and maybe even more so for each other to keep the faith, stand on God's word, and hang on as we are led through these passages. As God's sanctifying work is not yet complete in us, neither are the messages from His Word these past two Sundays.
Please hang in there. Please be encouraged. Please pray.
