Deep crevices run across the chewing surface of molars. Even though a toothbrush can skim across these surfaces, the narrow grooves trap bacteria beyond the bristles. Cavities may form and end up abscessing without warning, destroying valuable tooth structure. Protecting the grooves with a bonded sealer might be worth exploring.

Trump predicts victory as GOP aims for House vote next week on health care bill
With President Donald Trump leading the last minute lobbying and deal making with conservative GOP lawmakers, Republican leaders are planning for a showdown vote next Thursday on the House floor, arguing now is the time to move forward with plans to overhaul the Obama health law.
"I want everybody to know that I'm a hundred percent behind this," President Trump said to reporters as he met with a group of conservative lawmakers who were seeking changes to the health bill.
Mr. Trump made clear that he had successfully twisted some arms in an effort to get to the 216 votes that will be needed for approval in the House.
"Every single person sitting in this room is now a 'Yes,'" Mr. Trump declared.
Afterwards, there were signs that some conservatives were ready to stand with the President.
"We appreciate the opportunity to discuss with the president the best ways forward to repeal and replace Obamacare," said Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC), the head of the Republican Study Committee in the House.
The White House meeting was all part of an effort by GOP leaders to push reluctant Republicans to get on board with the health care overhaul measure, which has run into some resistance among both conservatives and moderates in the party.
"There are people from the middle and from the right, who have various concerns," said House Speaker Paul Ryan, as he argued to fellow Republicans that it's the time for action on health care.
Among the changes being discussed, were changes in Medicaid, including a work requirement for able-bodied adults.
While that deal may have brought on a few more votes, it still seemed like GOP leaders were short of a majority at this point.
"We have to have a bill that will pass," Speaker Ryan added.
But there were some Republicans still resisting both the Speaker and the President, arguing the GOP health plan doesn't go far enough.
"It doesn't repeal Obamacare," said Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI). "It remains a disaster."
There were also ominous signs from a small group of more conservative Tea Party Republicans, in the House Freedom Caucus.
"I remain firmly committed to repealing Obamacare," said Rep. Jim Jordan.
The GOP bill still hasn't been finalized; Republicans will try to do that in coming days.

Ok so we are planning on doing the 3 passes trek in Nepal during April, this means we need to do some high altitude training, well that's according to our leader anyway. We planned to do a 5 day hike with 3 nights on top of the Drakensberg, essentially above 3000m. To say the planning was plain and simple would be to belittle the effort of co-ordinating the long weekend between probable Nepal trekkers, potential Nepal trekkers and others.... On the day we planned to leave, the group of 8 became 7 and a second group of 5 became 2. We had planned to get a lift with Mark ( and John - who pulled out) with Corlius (aka "Our Leader") and then the Pretoria bunch going in Johann's Fortuner. We met at Marks and decided to rather take our new Corsa Ute as it would use a bit less fuel and Mark would then jump in the Fortuner. We drove down to Mnweni cultural center, with a Nandos break in Harrismith, pitched out tents, had a really nice Pepper Pot followed by a restful night on our new self inflating mattresses in out tent. Liz and I had previously done the Mnweni marathon in 2008, so knew the cultural center and some of the route from that experience.
Day 1 Start at 1276m end at 2107m ( or maybe 1807m according to some sources- Why oh why did I not take my hiking GPS with?)
We packed up, Liz and I had opted put of communal catering, so just loaded our packs up and watched as the other 5 shared out their rations. While filling in Mountain Rescue register I used my fishing scale to measure the pack weights. Most were between 20 and 22 kgs except for Johann who's pack was too heavy for my scale, probably around 28kgs.
Off we set at 7:30, Corlius and I were doing a good pace, when Mark called to us, Liz's boots had broken, the heels came off That meant we had to turn back! All this planning and preparation, what could we do? An hour into a 5 day hike and we were going back.... As we walked we sought answers, Pietermaritzberg would be maybe 3 hours each way, we were not that keen on joining the second group who were going to do a shorter route the following day. We walked back a lot faster than we had walked out. When we got back at 9:15 we were told there may be some boots in Bergville, 35 minutes away, we jumped in the Ute and searched for the co-op. On the drive out I decided if we could get back by 11:00 then we could catch the others before the cave. They only had one pair of size 8 boots, not ideal as Liz takes a 7, but either take it or miss out maybe 3 pairs of socks would help. We got back to the cultural center at 11:01, we tried to get a lift along the road but other than letting someone drive us in my new Ute, and leaving the keys with him, we were stuck.
So we restarted day one at 11:05, 500m down the road, we came across a Police van who offered us a lift. He took us just past where we were at 8:30. Knowing this part of the route helped as we set off in earnest to find GrassCutters cave. At about 2pm we looked down from our route to see the others had gone along the river and were taking some strain with the boulder hopping. We ended up joining them for a swim in some amazing pools, just after the Mnweni / Icidi river split. They could not believe that we had caught up with them, I must say it was a surprise to us as well. We still had about 6kms to go the cave, this proved quiet tough as speed in the berg is slow, mostly the path was non existent as it is a remote and un-hiked area. Eventually Mark and I got to the cave at about 5:30, Herman was last to arrive at 6:30, he was not a happy camper, Dorette had actually enticed him along the way for the last hour or so, the mark of a true hiker. Mark worked out that the group had done about 16km, Liz and I added about 3.5 ks to that. We toasted the evening with some Black Grouse. Liz as usual managed to prepare an amazing meal, what a treasure she is. The cave was really big although there was not too much flat sleeping area but we coped. We had water, and Liz managed a cold shower in an adjoining overhang.
Day 2 start at 2107m end at 3050m
We woke to a beautiful morning, Johann decide to take Herman back and try and do a easier hike. It was Herman's first ever hike and being a circular route , with no real shortcut/escape routes, it made sense. He had struggled with his pack and had a sore knee. Johann and Herman actually went back and met up the other 2 first time hikers, they joined up and went off to Sentinel and did a much easier hike of their own - at least they could enjoy it.
Most berg passes take around 3 hrs, we had about 4ks to the base of the pass and then the climb. We managed to get off "path" quite badly although we were not sure how or why! We started to fear not getting up the pass before dark, lots of bush wacking can be hard work. Eventually we go to the final really steep last 2ks at around 2:30pm and as there was now nowhere to camp, we expected poor weather and realising we could probably not finish the trail if we did not go up, we started up. Being an idiot I offered to go back and help if I got up before any others. We had to climb up about 700m before sunset. There was lots of heavy weedy bush at the base which is really hard going, this was followed by some pretty hectic boulder hopping, then a much more accommodating grass section.
Day 3 start and end at around 3050m
I saw the start of the sunrise from around 3:30AM, as the sky started to glow. A beautiful morning, Ginger tea went down well followed by some Muesli, Liz had some amazing Ginger and Cardamon Biscotti, they were really scrummy. Not knowing if Wimpey was or was not coming we set off to get to Fangs pass for 1pm , our suggested meeting time. Walking on top of the Berg is very deceptive, it is far from flat as one expects. We tried to traverse as much as possible so as to minimise climbing and to make effective use of any height gained. We got to the top of Fangs pass at 1:05 which was pretty good timing, had a quickish snack lunch before getting our first dose of rain. So rain gear, all of us used different methods. Corlius had an orange water proof bag which went over his pack, making it totally water proof, a good idea I thought, but then he needed a rain jacket. I find I sweat too much in these so I use a poncho as does Liz and put a simple pack cover over my pack as well, this proved tricky with a tent and our self inflating mattresses, but after a few episodes I sorted it out. The one problem with ponchos is wind but we did not have too much so that was fine - maybe I need to rig up a strap to tie the back of the poncho to the pack.
The rain came in shorts episodes so it meant much stopping and starting as gear went on and off. Mark was pretty good at suggesting the best routes to follow as we hardly ever found a path. We were heading for Pins cave, when Corlius and I saw what looked like a path and a cave so we headed down a cutback. Rather look at a map when changing direction, but the temptation of end of day was just too much. Liz and Dorette watched from afar as we came to our senses. Oh well back up we go. That was when the mist arrived, we tried to follow some cairns, and eventually found one which probably led to Pin cave, Mark went down but was not impressed with it, it was smaller than last nights cave and no water. We tried to enter some GPS co-ords but as we were getting cold and the mist was getting thicker we set off in search of a campsite, then the rain starting. As we we came over a ridge I saw some flat areas and we decided to pitch our tents ASAP. Liz's fingers were cold so could not help much with the tent. We tried to keep packs etc dry but... Another problem with ponchos is when I take mine off it invariably gets wet inside, I need to think about that one. Eventually we got the tents up, packs inside, one cannot swing a peanut let alone a cat. We managed to cook some Thai chilli soup, which went down very well. Corlius set off to find some water and came back saying that there was a cliff so no water. Mark managed to rig up some pots to scavenge water running off from the tent, kudos to him. He would definitely be on my Survivorr team. I heard cow bells as I dosed off to the sound of raindrops.... or were they Basuts around our tent, who cares I'm tired.... are those cows? no its coming from the other tent, its snoring...
Day 4 start at 3050m end at 3150m
Day 5 start at 3150m end at 1276m
It was really misty and with a slight wind the mist filled the cave, our sleeping bags were getting damp!!! Out with some emergency blankets, at least they are waterproof, the crinkling sound was a bit irritating but at least we were dry. The others decided at about midnight to rather put up the tent in the cave, we seemed to be protected by their tent so got away without doing so. Mark dug a trench to keep the drip from running under our groundsheet. Overall a bit of a disrupted night but a good one none the less. The views over Natal were amazing with clouds and sunlight making some amazing sights. We finished as much food as we could and set off for Rockeries pass.
Never trust anything you have not tested, I put a roller cover over the back of the Ute which was supposed to be waterproof, well crackerbread became sponge bread, our dry clothes were soaked, now I now why money is made with indelible ink, my wallet was soaked. No problem we still managed a quick shower and set off for Nandos( Harrismith) after a good hot burger we continued to JHB. we arrived home around 9:30pm , most of our kit was wet, we were tired, but had had an amazing experience...
Roll on Nepal.....

I didn't even know that this existed, what are its specs, just a redesign on the old one? AND number 3?!?, there was a sega genesis 2?! I consider myself an avid gamer and I've never heard of these things.ReplyDelete
Well, the Genesis 2 was the first redesign of the Genesis, had its own Sega CD 2 and was followed by its second that was the Genesis 3. The latter one didn't have its own CD, was supposed to be a budget piece of hardware that was released by Majesco.ReplyDelete
Pretty steep for a model 3 but like the description says it looks to be basically in brand new condition with everything there and wrapped up so it's a nice collector's find. Still planning on getting that Sega CD one of these days though so I'll still have to stick with the first or second one.ReplyDelete
And admittedly it is the rarest Genesis around... Then again, as you mentioned, the CD and 32X add-on are too important to ignore.ReplyDelete
and you can get a 1 or 2 for peanuts these days. If I had a working one of either of those (instead of a non-functioning version of both!) then I would definitely consider snaggin that 3 - such good condition.ReplyDelete
Yes... Still, the original design is by far the best!ReplyDelete

Day #1
Nuremberg, Germany (Embarkation).
Welcome to Germany! This afternoon, board your river cruise vessel in Nuremberg between 4 pm and 5:30 pm. Before dinner, meet your crew for a welcome reception. (D)
Day #2
A beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site is medieval Bamberg. Your walking tour takes in the breathtaking cathedral, the Old Town Hall straddling the River Regnitz, and serpentine streets with charming houses and 18th-century mansions. (B,L,D)
Day #3
Known as the "Pearl of the Romantic Road," Wurzburg is surrounded by sloping hills covered with vineyards. The magnificent BISHOP'S RESIDENZ is another UNESCO World Heritage Site. (B,L,D)
Day #4
Located on the Main River, Miltenberg is a picturesque Bavarian village that thrived on income from river traffic.

This afternoon, learn how to bake a local SOFT COOKIE specialty. (B,L,D)
Day #5
Rüdesheim–Rhine Gorge–Koblenz.
Pretty Rudesheim is the perfect example of a Rhine Valley wine town and SIEGFRIED'S MECHANICAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MUSEUM is a real surprise. Enjoy a SPECIAL TREAT, then there's free time to explore the Drosselgasse and pick up some souvenirs. The dramatic RHINE GORGE is the most beautiful stretch of river. Pass the legendary rock of the Lorelei, where sweet songs of local beauties lured enchanted sailors to their doom. Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers, 2,000-year-old Koblenz is the cultural and business center of the Middle Rhine region. The Deutsches Eck, located on a tongue of land where the two rivers converge, holds an impressive equestrian statue of Wilhelm I.

The entire Moselle Valley is famous for its beautiful and tranquil scenery. (B,L,D)
Day #6
Visit REICHSBURG CASTLE, which sits atop a conical hill covered in vines. From here the views of the little town of Cochem nestled down below and of the river valley are splendid. Cruising the wide, peaceful curves of the river, it quickly becomes obvious that the Moselle is an important wine-growing region. Most notably, the Riesling grape is cultivated, producing a dry to sweet, floral white wine. Dock overnight in Bernkastel. (B,L,D)
Day #7
Trier–Remich, Luxembourg.
The venerable Episcopal city of Trier is the oldest in Germany and, some claim, even older than Rome!

Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area. It is situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent, with Canada to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south. If you ask anyone who cruises regularly you will undoubtedly get the response, "Alaska was the best cruise I ever took". There are many reasons the 49th state gets that kind of reaction but mostly its for the vast wildlife and extreme views of nature you experience when you enter the Gulf of Alaska and especially Glacier Bay National Park.
Spread across an impressive 3.3-million acres, southeastern Alaska's scenic coastal islands, narrow fjords and substantial wildlife offer an inspirational glimpse of the pristine beauty of Glacier Bay National Park. The highest concentration of tidewater glaciers on the planet can be found here. Access to this natural wonderland is extremely limited and not all cruise lines can offer this access. But as a leader in the business, Princess Cruises includes Glacier Bay on every one of their cruises.
Alaska's Inside Passage is one of the most scenic sea-lanes in the world, home to bald eagles, whales, sea lions, otters, brown bears, mountain goats and flocks of seabirds. Plus, if you are cruising on the magnificent Star Princess you'll visit a variety of flavorful ports full of rich history and native culture. Alaska's beauty will make you think you've stepped into a painting.
This Labor Day weekend we will be escorting a LGBT group and their family and friends on the Star Princess. There are few gay cruises available in the Northwest but we would like to change that. This seven day cruise starting and ending in Seattle, WA makes for a great and friendly experience to one of the greatest treasures: the great state of Alaska.

The U.S. military says it is not concerned about a statement from the Indonesian vice president that all foreign forces should leave the country by late March. Officials also say the U.S. aircraft carrier involved in tsunami relief is continuing its work, although it has moved farther from the Indonesian coast.
A senior military spokesman, General David Rodriguez, says U.S. forces will continue to help the countries of the tsunami region as long as they are wanted.
"We're there to support the host nations, and do the relief efforts as best we can to help relieve the suffering of all the people in that region," he said. "We're going to continue to do that until our capabilities are no longer needed, and we'll continue to coordinate with host nations, the U.N. and the relief organizations to support that effort."
General Rodriguez was responding to a statement by Indonesia's vice president, who said all foreign forces should leave the country by late March. Indonesia is the country hardest hit by the earthquake and tsunami, and the U.S. military has been among many foreign forces that have sent supplies, helicopters and technicians to help in the relief and recovery effort.
The U.S. State Department said earlier the Indonesian statement about three months was meant as an estimate of how long the military assistance might be necessary.
A senior general involved in the effort has said similar relief operations in the past have lasted about 60 days. He said this is a larger disaster, but there is also more help available. Late March would be 90 days after the earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 150,000 people and left uncounted others injured and homeless, most of them in Indonesia.
The Indonesian comment on the departure of foreign forces came as the government in Jakarta is putting restrictions on the movement of those forces, and of civilian relief workers. The government says relief workers must be accompanied by Indonesian soldiers if they travel outside major cities. The United Nations expressed concern about the new policy, but some aid groups said it is not unusual for host governments to monitor their activities.
The hardest hit part of Indonesia is Aceh province, where the Indonesian government has been fighting an insurgency for the last two years. Foreign reporters and relief workers were barred from the region, until the tsunami hit. There have been no clashes since the disaster, and the government has welcomed the rebel group's call for peace talks.
General Rodriguez also commented on reports that one of the key U.S. Navy ships involved in the relief effort has moved farther off the Indonesian coast. The general says the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln moved farther from land so that its combat aircraft pilots could resume their regular training flights. He says the carrier is still close enough to land for its helicopters to participate in relief efforts.
The general and other officials would not comment on reports that the Indonesian government denied permission for the combat training flights to be flown over its territory.

A mother's devotion pushed a bill to ban talking on hand-held cell phones while driving a step further in the legislative process Monday and kept it on track to become law.
The Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee passed the bill on a 3-2 party-line vote, after Shelley Forney added tearful testimony to supporters' arguments for why the bill is needed. Forney's 9-year-old daughter, Erica, was hit and killed last year by a driver who police say was distracted by a cellphone.
"My hope in sharing this with you is that you will see the amazingly horrific dangers involved with talking on a phone and driving," Forney said. "It took only two seconds for her to look down. And my daughter is never coming back. Our lives will never be the same."
"That convenience of her having that phone," Forney said, "was not worth my child's life."
The bill, House bill 1094, must still clear at least two more committee votes and two votes by the full state Senate before heading to Gov. Bill Ritter's desk.
It met resistance Monday from Republicans on the committee who questioned why the legislature would single out cellphones when so many other things can distract drivers. Sen. Dave Schultheis, R-Colorado Springs, called cellphone regulation "the issue du jour" and said he thinks a woman he saw driving 70 mph on Interstate 25 while applying makeup was just as much of a danger to the drivers around her.
"It's not the issue of what is the distraction, it's the distraction in general," Schultheis said. " . . . We're dealing with an issue that technology is rapidly trying to fix at this time. I think we have bigger things we need to deal with."
But bill sponsor Sen. Bob Bacon, D-Fort Collins, said talking on cellphones while driving is far more common than most other distractions.
"The frequency and ubiquity of cellphones far exceeds makeup application, hamburger eating, breast-feeding or any of those other instances . . . we shake our heads at," Bacon said.
The bill has the support of the Colorado State Patrol and Verizon Wireless.
John Ingold: 303-954-1068 or email@example.com
What the bill does
The bill would make it a class A traffic infraction for adults to talk on hand-held cellphones while driving. Drivers under 18 would be prohibited from talking on cellphones at all while driving. Text messaging while driving would be banned across all age groups.

Walt Disney Pictures has given the green-light to its film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning fairytale musical "Into the Woods" (ITW). Pre-production will begin this summer with Rob Marshall co-producing and directing. Although the date is not set, filming is scheduled to begin at London's Pinewood Studios this fall.
For "Kiss of the Spider Woman," Krane began as the dance music writer straight from the beginning from its 1990 workshop at New Musicals in Purchase, NY, then on to Toronto's Bluma Appel Theatre, London's Shaftesbury Theatre (1992) and Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre (1993). He was the music supervisor for the National tour before travelling to Austria and conducting the show at Vienna's Raymond Theatre. He also produced the German language original cast recording.
For Marshall, a dancer, choreographing "Kiss" was his break, his first chance to work on a major Broadway musical with a major star, legendary Chita Rivera. He replaced Vincent Paterson, who had choreographed Madonna's "Blonde Ambition" tour and various videos and shows for Michael Jackson. He danced as a gang leader opposite stellar choreographer Michael Peters in Jackson's "Beat It" video. Both he and Marshall shared a Tony nomination for Best Choreography.
Krane says "Kiss of the Spider Woman's" unusual subject matter distinguished it from other, more conventional musicals. However, "it was a natural fit for Kander and Ebb," Krane said. "`Cabaret' and `Chicago' also had dark subjects in a musical form."
Also, Krane continues, "it was a Broadway equivalent of Magic Realism. The subject matter was groundbreaking at that time, and the escape fantasies created through projections gave it a dramatic texture that is not like anything on the boards today, not to mention the wonderful Kander and Ebb score.
Krane confided that he and director Hal Prince share a favorite song, "Where You Are." "Rob Marshall had the idea to dress Chita in white top hat and tails, in the androgynous spirit of Marlene Dietrich," he explained. "Kander's original song was very light, feminine and bright, with a kind of `Carmen Miranda' feel.
"Rob's idea was to slow it down in a sexier, more masculine manner. The opening signature vamp is actually mine, so I'm very proud of that transformation."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUQlQGH1fhc – "Where You Are," Tony Awards, 1993
David also reminisced about the cast, especially Brent Carver with his classical theatre experience. "There have been other classical actors in musicals (Rex Harrison, etc.)," he said, adding that most of the time they were unsuccessful "and not singers as organic as Brent is".
"Brent was a revelation. I saw so many performances and the nuances of the realism with which he played Molina varied ever so slightly from night to night. He is a genius on stage. Anthony Crivello ("Valentin") is a sweetheart who was the perfect balance for Brent."
He called Chita Rivera "a force of nature," adding "it was a thrill to work with her. I had the pleasure of accompanying her in an Australian tour a few years back when we played the Sydney Opera House.
"One story I love is when our musical director from London, Gareth Valentine, visited. In New York, our conductor was visible on a closed circuit TV screen. As a surprise, at the opening of the second act, Gareth stepped into the frame to conduct her as he had in London. It was all that Chita could do to stop from breaking up!"
Last August, forget "Into the Woods." David, or rather President Obama and the Democratic Party, were "into the cash" at a $16,200 a plate held at movie producer Harvey Weinstein's Westport CT estate. David accompanied Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway on piano in a spoof of Adele's "Someone Like You" rewritten especially for Obama. It was along the lines of we need a president like you. Guests included Anna Wintour, English editor-in-chief of American "Vogue" magazine, actress Marlo Thomas, talk show host Jerry Springer, producer/screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and Dannel Malloy, the governor of Connecticut.
"ITW" reunites Marshall with Krane who is writing musical arrangements for the film as he did for Marshall's previous movie musicals, his adaptations of "Nine" and "Chicago," which won the Best Picture Oscar in 2002.
Jonathan Tunick, Sondheim's long-time orchestrator (beginning with "Company" in 1970), will orchestrate the movie.
Krane said he is currently in the midst of auditioning "some very famous stars" for the film. "Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty to discuss it, but it's very exciting."
"Playbill" magazine confirmed Academy Award winner Meryl Streep will star as the Witch while "Variety" reported Johnny Depp is in talks to play the Wolf.
On October 1st last year, Krane said, the creative team held a workshop in a building adjacent to Lincoln Centre that is part of Juilliard. Among the cast were Donna Murphy as the Witch, Christine Baranski as the Stepmother, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, James Corden (who won a Tony last year for Best Leading Actor in a play for "One Man, Two Guvnors") as the Butcher and Nina Arianda (2012 Tony winner last year for Best Leading Actress in a play for "Venus in Fur") as the Baker's wife.
James Lapine, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning scribe has adapted the screenplay based on his own book. The workshop cast read from a streamlined, two-hour screen treatment he had penned.
Meanwhile, in another part of the woods, "The Road to Qatar," David's original musical, that recently played a limited engagement in London, will run for the entire month of August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Also, it has been licensed in the UK and Europe by Josef Weinberger, the noted theatrical company with a view for a tour of the UK and ultimately a run in the West End.

Today, after "church" was over, my husband and I and a close friend were given an opportunity to minister to a young mother. She showed up after everyone had left and was looking for someone that would pray with her. She had given her life to Christ a few months ago and more than anything she needed peace. As we prayed with her you could tell she still had no peace… she was still in need. So I felt led to ask her :
Are you able to enjoy the presents under the Christmas tree before you unwrap them?
And of course she said no. We went on to explain that God gave her so many gifts thru the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ but that she needs to take possession of them. I placed my open palm out in front of her and told her that her peace was sitting in my hand and she could take it… but she didn't. So then I told her that all she had to do was reach out and take it out of my hand and it was hers. She then reached out and took it and a smile just began to dance across her face. We then instructed her to unwrap it and make it hers…. and she did. Her smile was amazing as she said "You make it sound so simple." The truth is, it really is that simple. This is something that each of us need to realize. We can't take possession of the gifts God gave us until we

Acts 2:42-47 (NIRV)
The Believers Share Life Together
42 The believers studied what the apostles taught. They shared life together. They broke bread and ate together. And they prayed.
43 Everyone felt that God was near. The apostles did many wonders and miraculous signs.
44 All the believers were together. They shared everything they had.
45 They sold what they owned. They gave each other everything they needed.
46 Every day they met together in the temple courtyard. In their homes they broke bread and ate together. Their hearts were glad and honest and true.
47 They praised God. They were respected by all the people. Every day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.
This is a humbling picture in my mind, because even though we know this is how Christ wants us to live life, do we? There are so many times when the "noise" of life on this earth becomes so strong for me, that I do many times lose sight of what my true call is to be. Some days when I sit back and reflect on what all my "callings" are, I'm overwhelmed at what is required of me. I am a Child of God every moment of the day and I'm supposed to portray His love and I have to really reflect sometimes on whether I'm doing all that I can do and see if I need realignment, need to be broken of some things and begin the process of remolding and reshaping. The huge questions I have to ask myself at the end of everyday...Did I really portray an attitude and behavior that would be pleasing in God's eyes? Am I being the best spiritual role model I can be to my children and to those around me? Was I loving, caring, integral, compassionate, etc.? What do I need to work on changing and how will I accomplish it?
I will be continuing to reflect and fast from my blog throughout the next little bit. I have been and need to continue to be lifting three very special and integral women of God up in prayer. They are such amazing people and portray a life of hope, true faith and servanthood to God. There are so many times in this life where you realize that nothing's more important than being there for those around you in whatever way they need you...that's what the church, family and friendship should truly be!
I am also for one reason or another, dealing with some fear over my upcoming journey overseas...not really fear exactly, but a jitterness mixed with a whole heap of excitement, anticipation and inadequacy. It's really hard to explain, but this was a "vision" in my head for over a year and I honestly never thought it would become a reality. You have things which feed your mind...you're not a "missionary" (when we truly are all missionaries every day, no matter where we are, as our whole life's a mission-field), you're not going to be able to do what needs to be done (I wouldn't have been called if I didn't?!) and just a multitude of other things. So I need some time to really talk heart-to-heart with God and give all my fears and concerns to Him, continue to have the faith I've always had...that He has purposes for everything, reveals things in His perfect timing and we just have to continue to trust completely and openly that His plans are what need to take place. No one ever said that choosing to step out and live in faith was always easy, but in the long run, it is the most amazing lifestyle choice you can make!
A beautiful feeling,
Fills my heart.
Every time I think,
Of that wonderful day.
The day I pledged my deepest faith,
To Jesus Christ my Savior.
That step which brought me so close,
To my heavenly father whom I love so dearly.
Now a relationship so close and dear,
I am able to have with no fear.
Forever until I die,
My faith I will continue to pledge so high.
The gift of eternal life he handed to me,

WEST HAVEN, June 9, 2014 —
West Haven Public School students, families and staff raised $6,494 in
support of the playground that will soon be constructed in West Haven to
honor Charlotte Bacon, one of the children who died in the Sandy Hook
The playground is one of 26 being built through an initiative
called "The Sandy Ground Project: Where Angels Play" to honor those who
died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec. 14, 2012. A
groundbreaking will be held on June 13 at Sea Bluff Beach, where the
living memorial is being built, while a ribbon cutting is scheduled for
June 15.
Money raised for the project will not only help to build West
Haven's playground, but will also go toward the next playground built by
the Where Angels Play Foundation in a pay-it-forward fashion.
At elementary schools, paper clouds were sold in a fundraiser
to students and staff, who wrote their names on the clouds and displayed
them in their schools. Some, like Forest Elementary School student
Michelle Valencia, contributed more than the $1 suggested donation.
Michelle, a 9-year-old student in LeeAnn Luzietti's fourth-grade class,
decided to donate $100 of her own money.
"My parents always taught me if I have enough, I should donate to other people," she said.
Carrigan Intermediate School, Bailey Middle School and West Haven High School sold bracelets in school and at special events.
Bailey also held additional fundraisers, including a raffle for
a chance to shave a teacher's head during a homeroom period. Students
David O'Brien, Meg Paterson, Aitza Perez, Ogulcan Guney, Jared Thayer,
Kayla Manion, Rua Osman and Julie Pinto won the opportunity to shave the
heads of eight male teachers: James Mastriano, Sean Griffin, Gene
Sullivan, Abdul Choudhry, Jared Stevens, Greg Heudorfer, Patrick Toole
and Joseph Pisano, who had been growing his mane for months.
But it wasn't just the guys getting a makeover for a good
cause. Bailey teacher Sherry "Mitch" Mitchell pledged to dye her hair
pink (Charlotte Bacon's favorite color) if students raised at least
"The kids were excited about it. It was something meaningful to
them, and some of them are going to go to the build on Friday," said
Mitchell, who showed up to the hair-shaving session with a neon pink
Bailey teacher Dina Jones, who helped plan the head-shaving
fundraiser with Mitchell, Sheila Krajcir and Stacy Blanco, said the kids
were enthusiastic about helping out because the collection impacted
their own city.
"They were raising money for something in their community, not
an organization they haven't heard of before or that won't affect them,"
Jones said. "This playground will be in their own backyard, and they
will see the results of their effort."

Getting Through Those Rough Patches In Life
Sorry to break it to you, but nobody gets through life unscathed. The perfect life is hard to achieve – even those living in castles and large manors can still find plenty to be upset about. We're all stunningly unique individuals, and we're all going to go through rough patches in life relevant to ourselves. Whether it's something to do with finances, relationships, our career, or our life in general. While we want many of our years to be smooth sailing, we certainly have to be prepared to ride the wave when things get rocky and rough – they are certainly bound to.
Thankfully, when things get difficult, it's often a chance to learn and grow, so even in the worst of times, we can still gain something, even if it's the smallest of consolations. Every single person, no matter their wealth, will experience their fair share of rough patches, it's just a part of life and we have to take that on board.
The first thing we must do to bear the brunt of the storm of a rough patch is to sort out the serious matters. Our mind might not be in the right place, nor our body – but if any threads are left dangling for the future to resolve, it might do more harm than good. Gear up for a tough fight at the start of a rough patch – because that's when you need to work hard. If we're hurting, we might need to consult the doctors, speak to a personal injury lawyer, take treatment – or even go for surgery. These things can't wait. It's much like that for any situation. Find a way to cope, consult the legal issues, and find a resolution – no matter if it's illness, a job loss or divorce.
Working for a resolution is the hardest thing you can do, but it's a must. In some cases, there might be no clear resolution – but you need to find your own personal resolution, which might mean simply making peace with a situation. Allowing issues to remain unresolved in any form can come with some serious mental baggage that will never allow you to move forward, not in the slightest. A resolution means drawing a line under the problem and giving yourself the peace of mind, and space, to move forward in our own lives.
In the meantime, we need to cope – that means focusing on the good things in life, even if a thing seems bad. If we can find something to hang onto, something like a hobby, a relationship or a pet, that can help us get back on our feet, we'll be all the better off for it. Finding a single spot of brightness can help.
With the bad times in life and those rough patches – there is also another benefit. It makes us see and appreciate the good times in life. When we go through rough patches, it can make those good times shine even brighter, and can certainly help us not take anything for granted in the future.

Critique of Hatred
Hatred can be something that is either inborn or learned. There are many determining factors but people are plagued by the idea that a young child can show anger even when no anger is presented to them beforehand. Maybe there is something deep within us all that causes hatred to be close enough to the surface of our being that it can be conjured up at any time. Hatred for another group or person causes domination and submission in many forms; examples of this have been eminent throughout history. Just as different forms of psychology have tried to discover what hatred really is. Social Psychology would probably say that hatred is something that is learned from the group in which, people are born into. Developmental Psychology would try to prove that hatred is something that you are born with, without peer influence. No matter what form of psychology takes the stand they still do not know what or how hatred is developed.
Hatred is as old as time. There have always been wars, conflicts, and tension throughout the world and throughout history. Even in times of peace there is always some kind of tension or hatred for another group or race. For someone who never knew anything but their own kind can still have hatred for another group that is unlike their own even though they have never been in contact with that other group. Why is that? It may be something that they experienced through other people because of stories they heard. Or it could be they learned it from parents, peers, or another outside influence.
Outside influence, that could be anyone a person comes in contact with, even newspapers, or television. Developmental Psychology can categorize the stages of development in a person's life. There are...

Although Amy Winehouse made the Sunday Times Rich List in 2008 with an estimated fortune of £10 million, her fortune was worth just over £2 million when she died.
Annual reports for two company accounts she owned were published on September 5, showing thather financial value had decreased in the last several years.
Winehouse's first companyCherry Westfield was worth £2,004,963 at the end of last November, which is £20,000 less than it was valued at in 2009.
Her CW Touring company, meanwhile, dropped in value from £142,012 to £8,032 during the same period, reported NME.
But by 2009 that number had dwindled down to £5 million and now down to £2 million, said Music News.
Although £2 million is still a lot of money, the drop in her fortunes from the 2008 Sunday Times Rich List of £10 million is notable.
Explanations offered as to where her money went is offered by a source close to Winehouse who told the Daily Star that she had spent thousands of pounds on drink and drugs. They said:
"Even though Amy spent thousands on drink, drugs and hangers-on, she was still a rich young woman. Had she beaten her issues with drink, she would almost certainly have lived a worry-free and comfortable life. It is sad that having beaten drugs, she never got a chance to enjoy the money she worked so hard to produce."
Her parents Mitch, 60, and Janis, 56, have been left with her £2 million fortune and were reportedly handed responsibility of Amy's fortune back in 2009 when she flew to St. Lucia to try and get over her addictions.
Mitch Winehouse plans to use her fortune to launch a foundation in his daughter's name to help people suffering from drug-related problems.
The 27-year-old singer was found dead in her London home in July after a long battle with drugs and alcohol.
Toxicology reports revealed there were "no illegal substances" in her body at the time of her death, the singer's family said.

Netroots Nation is supposedly this great democratic and Progressive (the little d and capital p are on purpose there) convention meant to "empower" bloggers and others. But, somehow it seems more like a boot camp for toeing the Democratic (big d) party line anymore.
Their big events now seem to be opportunities for Democratic bigwigs to talk at a bunch of bloggers and give them the party marching orders. It's this big slick deal where the usual suspects in the upper blogosphere assert their alpha dog status while congratulating each other about how great they are and how they changed the world.
In short, it just smells when you're down here on the ground.
Case in point. Today I go to my "non-traditional media" for the news. Lo and behold what do I find? Well, I find a daisy chain of self-pleasure over Netroots Nation. Yes indeed, the world stopped and nothing has happened but all the Democratic (big d) bloggers joining hands and singing Kumbaya while being talked at by the likes of Bill Clinton who, by the way, blames the Gays for DOMA and DADT. In short, "don't look at me. It's your fault because you aren't popular!" Speaking of which, don't you love Michael Jones over at Change.org (read Demo central) for this Big Bill stroking?
So, excuse me, but after reading the self-love going on at this mini-elitist gathering all I can think is: Who do I trust if I can't trust TradMed and now I can't trust the independent voices because they're all up the ass of the Democrats at this summer camp?
Oh well... every movement when it becomes large enough will be co-opted and shaped by the prevailing powers that be. Netroots Nation seems to be proof of that.

Everything's BIGGER in Texas
Canucks gameday links: NWSB Matchup Insight | NWSB Preview + Prediction
The Vancouver Canucks take on the Dallas Stars tonight in Texas in their first game back since having the team's eight-game unbeaten streak snapped in Minnesota.
The Canucks lead the Wild twice on Tuesday but failed to close it out, taking home the loser point in the shootout.
Look for a disciplined road game from the Canucks tonight after allowing the extra point to get away in Minnesota. Below are five keys to tonight's contest between the Canucks and Stars.
Booth Better
David Booth has elevated his play since returning from an AHL conditioning stint in Utica, and recently his effort has begun to pay off in the form of back-to-back goals against the Bruins and Wild.
As Cam Charron pointed out over at Canucks.com Booth's shot totals have begun to resemble his career averages, however his game still needs work in order for him to return as the 20-goal scorer the Canucks first believed he would be.
Look for Booth to bring it again tonight in Dallas.
Roberto Rolling
A big part of Vancouver's recent winning streak has been the solid play of Roberto Luongo. With the Sochi Olympics right around the corner Luongo has elevated his play to international standards, putting up a .958 save percentage over his last six games including a shutout over the Oilers.
Look for Luongo to be solid again tonight after earning his first loss in seven starts Tuesday in Minnesota.
Second Line Studs
The Canucks have lived and died with the play of the Sedin twins in years past, however this season the trio of Ryan Kesler, Chris Higgins, and Mike Santorelli have spent plenty of time carrying the team.
Vancouver's second line has combined for 10 goals and 14 assists over eight games so far this month, giving the team an added dynamic after the twins attract the opposition's best defenders.
Look for Kesler, Higgins, and Santorelli to expose the Stars again tonight.
Lehtonen Letdown
Kari Lehtonen is expected to start for the Dallas Stars tonight after watching backup Dan Ellis take two points from the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. Lehtonen has been struggling for the Stars lately but has had Vancouver's number over recent years, allowing only two goals on his last 81 shots faced.
Look for Lehtonen to bounce back after being given a vote of confidence by head coach Lindy Ruff.
Streaky Seguin
Off-season acquisition Tyler Seguin continues to impress in Dallas, leading the team with 18 goals and 15 assists over 33 games played so far this season. A streaky scorer, Seguin has 6 goals and 4 assists over his last six games, however he has been held pointless in three of those same contests.
Look for Seguin to break out or fade away tonight against the Canucks.

Dr Pepper Snapple announced its Q1 earnings last Wednesday. Net revenues for the quarter stood at $1.36 billion, up 2% year-over-year. However, net income dropped to $102 million primarily because of negative impact of higher cost of sales. Total volume witnessed a 1% decline primarily with positive soft drink volume growth being more than negatively offset by non-carbonate soft drink volumes.
Some of the most recognized beverages in the company's portfolio are Dr Pepper, 7UP, Canada Dry, Sunkist, Crush and Snapple. Dr Pepper Snapple competes primarily with PepsiCo and Coca-Cola Co, among others.
We have lowered the price estimate to $38.61. The new price estimate incorporates Q1 earnings.
Margins Hit By Soaring Costs
Even though the revenues increased 2%, net income dropped 11% mainly because of higher cost of sales. The cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues, now stand at 42.9%, compared to 41.1% in the previous year. This comes in spite of price increases in the range of 3% implemented in 2011. We expect some deterioration in the full year EBITDA margins for 2012. The company expects the cost of raw materials to rise by 7-9% for 2012.
Soft Drinks Performing Well
Carbonated Soft Drinks (or CSD) volumes rose 2% which is impressive given that the overall market size is decreasing. CSD volumes were helped by the launch of Dr Pepper TEN, the mid calorie variant of Dr Pepper, in the fourth quarter of 2011. Overall, we expect the company to gain market share in the North American CSD market helped by distributional gains. Just to emphasize that point, Dr Pepper Snapple added 43,000 valves and 25,000 cold drink points in 2011.
Dr Pepper has been gaining market share in the last few years as PepsiCo and Coca-Cola Co focus on international expansions. However, this could be a tough year with PepsiCo ready to spend an additional $600 million on marketing and Coca-Cola investing $ 2 billion in the U.S. itself in 2012.
Weak Performance by Non-Carbonated Beverages
NCBs continued to perform weakly for Dr Pepper Snapple with volumes witnessing a 7% decline. Only Snapple has performed consistently for the company in the last few years. Snapple's volume grew 5%. Volumes for Hawaiian Punch and Mott's declined by 21% and 16% respectively primarily because of greater than expected increase in the cost of sales (mainly apple concentrates) which were subsequently passed on to consumers.
Mixed Results for Latin American Division
The company's Latin American operations, which includes Mexico and the Caribbean, saw a volume growth of 4%. However, revenues from the region remained flat at $91 million due to relative strengthening of Mexican Peso against the USD. Some of the key brands in this division include Peñafiel, Squirt, Clamato and Aguafiel. The Latin American division contributes only 5% to the stock price as per our estimates.
The company saw a big reduction in its cash reserves which now stand at $192 million, compared to $701 million as of December 31, 2011, mainly due to expenditure associated with the reduction of income taxes payable (down to $40 million currently from $530 million on December 31, 2011). Thus, we expect a substantial increase in the net working capital for 2012 due to a reduction of income taxes payable.

Baby Massage
The Nature.Nurture.Love Baby massage course is 4 x 1 hour sessions run over four weeks at various venues around Bournemouth and Poole. Each session is different as we build up the massage and learn new strokes week by week. All sessions are relaxed and completely baby led.
Week 1 – we cover Chest, Tummy & Legs
Week 2 – add Feet, Arms & Hands
Week 3 – add Back
Week 4 – add Head & Face
Each week different nursery rhymes are introduced to the strokes.
This age old tradition has so many benefits and provides the best possible start in life, both physically and emotionally. Since the mid 1990's baby massage has become very popular in the UK as more and more people realise the importance of baby massage and the physical bonding between you and baby. Research has shown evidence that baby massage improves weight gain, increases bone density, reduces cortisol and improves cognitive and motor development in later months.
Baby massage provides you with movements and strokes to help alleviate common ailments such as trapped wind, colic, teething, colds and sleeping.
Touch characterised by a slow caress or gentle strokes increases the brains ability to construct a sense of body ownership and plays a big part in creating and sustaining a healthy sense of self.

A woman who was locked in the trunk of her date's car after a dispute over $200 -- and who remained there as he led police on a chase -- has decided not to press charges against the man, police said.
As a result of the woman's decision, Sgt. Roy Anderson said, charges of kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated assault against Kenneth Kinder, 19, of the 1700 block of Northwest Fifth Avenue, Deerfield Beach, would be dropped.
Kinder still faces charges of cocaine and marijuana possession and resisting arrest, Anderson said. A charge of possession of a firearm during commission of a felony probably will be changed to possession of a firearm.
The dispute began at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday when Kinder accused the woman of taking the money from his pants pocket. The two were in the woman's apartment, in the 400 block of Southwest Second Street, with another couple.
When the woman denied taking the money, police said, Kinder hit her several times on the head with a handgun.
Kinder and the other man picked up the victim and carried her to Kinder's car, placing her in the trunk.
Police were en route to the apartment, responding to a report that a man there was holding a gun to a woman's head, when they saw Kinder and the other man drive away in Kinder's Pontiac Grand Prix, police said.
With officers in pursuit, Kinder drove along several streets in the area until he crashed the car into a relative's house in the 500 block of Northwest Third Avenue. After the crash, Kinder and the other man ran away, escaping police.
Police then heard screams from the trunk of Kinder's car and found the woman inside, uninjured. As officers were interviewing the victim in the house, a man, identified by the victim as Kinder, entered and police arrested him.
A search of the car uncovered a packet of cocaine, which the victim said she had seen in his possession, along with a plastic bag containing marijuana, police said.

It's available on your favorite gadgets -- a new hit Youtube sensation creating a buzz and a debate in the African-American community when it comes to relationships.
The cartoon highlights stereotypes as to why some say its hard for a successful black woman to find a good man.
We showed the piece titled 'black marriage negotiation' created by an anonymous user at XtraNormal.com to several clients at Adrian Fanus Grooming, an upscale hair salon in Brooklyn.
Musician and actress Candace Meredith along with filmaker Tamika M'bule found the clips amusing but somewhat true for some black women, but not all.
"Now, I used to have a long list too. Don't get it twisted. Ha!" said Meredith. "Which was unrealistic but you can ask for things that you're not."
"Its frustrating because I think every woman wants to be taken care of," said M'bule.
Owner, Adrian Fanus says there are tons of good men out there. The stylist accuses women of all colors of having a long list of needs and 'wants'.
"If you actually take time to get to know somebody a lot of times you can weed out the negative ones," said Fanus.
O'Neil Bryan, a business student at Fordham, says he hasn't dated a black woman in 7 years.
"She wanted to get married. At that time, I'm 29 now, seven years ago I was 22," said Bryan.
Bryan, however says he does not discriminate. "I tried to date a couple of black girls this year but it just didn't work out."
Essence Magazine relationship editor Demetria Lucas is here to help, "We've evolved. We've had like a feminists movement. Women are making more money. They're in the workplace. But we still have some old fashion values about things. So you kind of want the guy to pay but at the same time you want him to respect your independence," said Lucas.
Lucas is finishing up a book titled Abelle in Brooklyn on tips when it comes to finding that good man. So whether you're black, white, Hispanic, Asian...whatever the case ...be careful when it comes to your wish list, you might find yourself all alone.

Heartland Angels is a group of investors who meet to review potential investments in early stage companies. As a group, members can share their expertise and analysis of different investment opportunities.
At Heartland, the investor and entrepreneur have a collaborative experience. As an investor you will have a more intimate experience, more face time and experienced teamwork among fellow investors forming questions to properly vet the potential investment. You do not need an affiliation with a college or other business organization to join; you simply need to be an accredited investor. Also, there are no annual investment minimums.
Most investments are made through an LLC formed specifically for that investment opportunity. Due diligence must be performed by each member, and the final decision on whether to invest or not is always made by each individual member, not a fund. By forming an LLC as the vehicle, members simplify administration efforts and have more influence as a group on the direction of the company.
Historically, Heartland Angels has had a significant portion of its membership with expertise in medicine and the life sciences. As a result, many of the companies reviewed and ultimately invested in are in those areas. More recently, Heartland is reviewing and has invested in companies in many different vertical markets.
Heartland Angels uses Gust to manage its investment pipeline. Companies can apply for funding here, and potential members can apply here.
Investment in early stage companies involves substantial risk. Heartland Angels does not evaluate investment suitability, and each member is responsible for performing his or her own due diligence prior to making any investments.
