Epiphany Proclamation 2014
The Church has a couple of traditions related to The Feast of the Epiphany. One of those is The Epiphany Proclamation (another being the blessing of homes). During the liturgy on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, the Church proclaims the date of Easter as well as other feast and fast dates. The Proclamation announces more than dates. It proclaims the reality that our lives are to be lived in rhythm with and according to Jesus' life. Here is the proclamation for this liturgical year:
Epiphany Proclamation 2014
Dear brothers and sisters, the glory of the Lord has shone upon us, and shall ever be manifest among us, until the day of His return.
Through the rhythms of times and seasons let us celebrate the mysteries of salvation.
Let us recall the year's culmination, the Easter Triduum of the Lord: His Last Supper, His Crucifixion and Death, His Burial, and His Rising, celebrated between the evening of the 17th day of April and the evening of the 19th day of April, Easter Sunday being on the 20th day of April.
Each Easter—as on each Sunday—the Holy Church makes present the great and saving deed by which Christ has forever conquered sin and death. From Easter are reckoned all the days we keep holy.
Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, will occur on the 5th day of March.
The Ascension of the Lord will be commemorated on the 29th day of May.
Pentecost, the joyful conclusion of the season of Easter, will be celebrated on the 8th day of June.
And this year the First Sunday of Advent will be on the 30th day of November.
Likewise the pilgrim Church proclaims the Passover of Christ in the feasts of the holy Mother of God, in the feasts of the Apostles and Saints, and in the commemoration of the faithful departed.
To Jesus Christ, who was, who is, and who is to come, Lord of time and history, be endless praise, for ever and ever. Amen.
Father Michael has also written about another tradition of the Epiphany here. Ephiphany is the 12th day of Christmas and commemorates the coming of The Wise men. In 2014, the official date of Epiphany is January 6 - but, mostly, it will be celebrated this Sunday January 5.

So, what has the Parable Of The Sower got to do with cutting-edge marketing techniques like social media, I hear you ask? Well, as we know, parables survive because of their relevance. This particular parable is relevant to many aspects of marketing, business and life in general; hence its longevity ...
Pick the right place for the message and the market is like planting the seeds in good soil and looking after them so that they grow into brilliant customers/plants!
The sower has a great message for us when we're thinking about social media (and if you're not thinking about it in your business, I hope someone is!) because it reminds us starkly of the perils of forgetting the number one rule.
And that rule is? The same one that we need to remember with any form of marketing: Market, Message and Media! Think about who we need to be talking to first, then what our message will be and only then will we think about the media we will use to get our message across. Just because social media represents a new form of marketing activity for many businesses, it doesn't mean that this rule can get binned with the Yellow Pages. Far from it!!
"We need to make sure that our activity is based around the people that we want and need to connect and interact with."
Once we've done that, then got clear on our message (and strategy), the final part of the rule is to get clear on where these people are active. And that's the key tie-in with the parable here.
To put it another way, if you - the sower - sow your seeds (the messages and great content that you have worked diligently to create and acquire) in the wrong places (ie. you share them on networks which your customers and prospects don't use), you will get very little return for your efforts.
"Seeds that are distributed in the right environment have every chance of growing into strong young plants."
So, find out where your ideal customers hang out online before investing masses of time and energy on whatever your best friend told you was the 'in thing' for businesses to be using this week. Ask your current customers (face-to-face, by email or by survey), check out the followers of popular bloggers or You-Tubers in your sector, or research online forums.
Then make sure your messages and content suit the network you have decided to use, as well as attracting the people you need to interact with. They also need to cultivate leads, drive traffic or whatever the priorities are for your business.
So please take some time to work through who you want/need to engage with on social media to help support your business goals, what networks those people use and the right messages and content to share on those networks to elicit the actions you want people to take.
Failing to do this is the equivalent of taking all those valuable seeds and tipping them on the path, where they get trodden on and wasted, or the borders where the young seedlings will get burnt by the sun. Make the most of your precious time and resources by thinking your activity through first and you will reap a fine harvest!
Until next time ...

Here are the first three steps in a single shot's progression - bear in mind that this is still NOT the final shot as there are more elements to add, tweaking to be done, the temporary 'cracks' to be replaced and full colour correction needed - but it is a good indication of the work going into our project.
Firstly, here is the raw footage complete with green screen and 'breakaway' crevice.
Next is a first pass at cleaning up the shot, removing the rigging, animating a new rope at the end and creating a constant foreground.
Now we see a version with more elements composited into the shot, including a new shadow for the flea, temporary background plates, rear fog elements, a live action 'snow splash' a CG snow test and some colour tweaks.
When the shot is complete, I will post it here so that you can see the final result.

London: After playing Harry Potter for nearly ten years, it looks like Daniel Radcliffe is having trouble coming out of his character.
In his latest interview, Radcliff claimed he's really a wizard, that he has vanquished all the evil spirits in the world and is now considering a career as a professional Quidditch player.
"I AM Harry. I used to think I was an actor playing a wizard but really I was a wizard playing an actor, the Sun quoted the star as telling the interviewer.
"Dan is a fantastic character who I`ve really enjoyed playing, " Radcliffe added.
The hilarious spoof, which is featured on funnyordie.com, shown the Harry Potter star claiming he no longer fights evil spirits because "I`ve fought them all - they`re dead," and added that he now "kinda chills out a lot".

What to see in Adelaide
Adelaide Attractions
Adelaide tends to be underrated as a tourist destination but in truth there is much for holiday makers to see and do here. Choose between anything from strolling around the city admiring the architecture, and boutique shopping in the suburbs, to soaking up the sun on the beautiful sandy beaches, or enjoying Adelaide's nightlife, dining and art scene.
Start off in the historic beachside suburb of Glenelg for a stroll along the pier with an ice-cream in hand, before heading up into the Adelaide Hills to Mt Lofty Summit where breath-taking views over the city can be enjoyed - the perfect place for those travel photos. Sports fans should head to the Oval for a local or international cricket match; culture vultures will love the Art Gallery of South Australia on North Terrace, where more than 35,000 pieces can be viewed; and history buffs will be captivated by the Migration Museum's insight into the migration of British prisoners to Australia in the 1700s.
Nature and animal lovers should head out of the city to visit Belair National Park for some fantastic bushwalking trails or even just to hang out and have a picnic on the grass, while visitors can get up close and personal with koalas, kangaroos and wallabies at the Cleland Conservation Park. The Adelaide Botanical Gardens are a great place to relax and unwind under the shade of a tree and West Beach is perfect for family walks and swimming. After a long hard day of sightseeing, what could round it off better than a tour of the Coopers Brewery for a good old-fashioned, family-brewed, ice cold beer.
Adelaide Botanic Garden
The Adelaide Botanic Garden is one of the top free attractions in the city and a lovely place to unwind and enjoy some…
Barossa Valley
An hour's ride from Adelaide, to the northeast, is the Barossa Valley, Australia's premier winemaking region. About 50…
Just an easy 20-minute drive along the South Eastern Freeway from the city centre of Adelaide is the scenic Adelaide…

Residential and rural areas in the Horowhenua District need trees to improve the quality of the air we breathe, provide a source of food and shelter for birdlife and beautify our towns and landscapes.
However, trees can also block drains, disrupt walls and foundations, hide views, cast shadows and from time to time fall down.
Horowhenua District Council's 'Trees and Your Rights' brochure has been developed as a guide to help answer questions around the rights and responsibilities you have concerning trees as a landowner or neighbour.
This brochure includes the following information:
The provisions outlined in this brochure are from the Horowhenua District Plan as at June 2014. These provisions may change and, as such, should only be used as a guide.

I open my eyes to the sound of someone banging on the wall downstairs, I look at the clock as I stagger to my feet and make my way across my bedroom. There are only a few things that this could mean at 2:45 AM, either my mom or dad is sick, hurt, or dead. I'm not being a ghoul really but when you live with sickly aging parents that's what it usually means. So you can imagine my surprise to open the door and look downstairs to see my mom fully dressed with jacket on and dad visible outside the front door. "Your brother is on the way to the hospital, he's coughing up blood" mom says kind of matter of fact, like she's just told me something commonplace. "We were gonna let you sleep, but we didn't want you to wake up to an empty house and be shocked. So were going in a few minutes." mom says as she looks up at me and out to the street. I say "Dad's got night blindness and if anyone's going to drive to the hospital at three am it's gonna be me!" and turn to get dressed with rubbery legs and jangled nerves. I have been asleep maybe two and a half hours and I am still wondering what's going on with my brother, he has always got a sinus problem and a smokers hack, but I didn't realize he was actually sick. The small bathroom garbage can full of bloody tissues tells the tale, it looks like something out of a horror movie.
In the cold chill of the fall night we drive to the ER and I drop them off. By the time I park the car and walk into the waiting area I find my family including my brother sitting in an mostly empty room while the Turner classic movies channel features 'Jason and the Argonauts!' My brother, looking dismal, apologizes for the fuss and fills me in on what's happened since I went to bed. He has had uncontrollable coughing fits spewing up blood and mucus which isn't letting up. He informs me that he has been sick with a cough and cold for weeks but with him sequestered in his room as he attends online college and me at work all day, I'm afraid I didn't notice he was sick. They finally call his name and I sit down for a long night, armed with an interesting book called "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis, an unusual read for me about the investment industry. The author was on NPR (National Public Radio) the previous Saturday promoting his new book "Boomerang" and sparked my interest. The ER waiting rooms refreshment area features a broken free coffee maker, soda machine and snack machine. So wearily at my mom's request I go on a walkabout looking for coffee but finding none I sit down to read and watch TV.
I sit with my mom while dad wanders around unable to sit still. We speculate about our worse fears for my brother's health. It's about 4:00 am now and they are taking him for a chest x-ray when I look up and see through the glass of the children's play area another TV with a breaking news story. I get up to see what's going on now, and am not surprised to see that the police in New York City have raided Zucotti Park and driven the Occupy Wall Street protesters out, to clean up the park ostensibly. The operation was conducted by police in riot gear and SWAT teams with precise military maneuvers. The action began at 1:00 am and these kinds of operations are always done in the small hours, it's the best time to attack your enemy. The protesters didn't stand a chance, and even the efforts of reinforcements coming to aid the protesters never made it to the park, they were driven back. This is no surprise to me as I predicted this would happen weeks ago; if only to myself. But what shocked me was the lack of violence, many protestors went peacefully and the few who didn't were not beaten up too bad. That is at least not from what we witnessed on TV, the next day the mayor held a press conference stating that things went well-better than expected! Also the protestors would be allowed to come back to the park, but not with sleeping bags or tents this time.
The Occupy Wall Street movement begun on Sept 17th in New York's financial district, inspired by the Egyptian Tahir Square uprisings in June and the Spanish "Acampadas". It is at its core vow to end the monied corruption of our democracy. The anti-consumerist/pro-environment magazine" Adbusters" published in Canada is credited with calling for the peaceful protest movement as a means to bring about social change for the 99 percent of people making under $100,000 a year. While the 1 percent who make upwards of $100,000 a year enjoy an extravagant lifestyle and pay way less than they should in taxes, the 99 percent are trimming down to only the essentials and yet are still being asked to bear the burden for the good of the country. If you look at a map of the cities where protesters have gathered, you can see that the concentration of the movement is in the northeast, but it reaches all the way to the west coast and a sprinkling of the mid-Atlantic states. The mid-section of the country is where you see the least amount of protest, in some states none at all.
The OWS is a leaderless movement and seems to have no clear set path for establishing their agenda. A few weeks ago I watched an interview with one of the organizers on TV and was amazed at what I saw. He was a young guy in his maybe late twenty's, he was clearly a corporate hipster type, the kind that wears a suit and is well versed in office protocol but you could easily find him at a Dresden Dolls concert on the weekend. He was telling the interviewer that "We are sending a clear message to Wall Street and to Washington that we want change, we are going to be here, we are not going anywhere until there is real change in this country" He talked in that post valley girl/guy hipster twang with that tinge of the feminine that makes people think your either gay or a snob. The powers that be have got be looking at this and laughing at him. This is not any threat to the 1 percent, and guess what else. The one percentile includes all of our leaders and their families and friends and the leaders of big business right down to the owner of the company you work for who has more money in the bank than you will make in your entire life. They don't care about you or anyone else in the 99 percentile. My brother came out of his x-ray and waited for the results in the ER and we chatted with him until the doctor came and told my brother that he had a nosebleed. I for one was not convinced since the blood wasn't coming from his nose, but he gave my brother a set of instructions and a bottle of Afrin nasal spray and said see ya later. So at 5:15 am we arrived home and since I usually get up a six o"clock, I decided it was useless to try to sleep and got dressed for work and made my lunch.
When I came home after a very busy grueling day I found my mom made a meatloaf, so I jumped in to help sous chef the veg and mash and set the table. I asked about my brother who had more coughing fits and while we were just about to sit down to eat, my brother came in again with a garbage can full of bloody tissues and said "I guess we better go back to the hospital." I got out of my sweats and into jeans and a shirt and took my brother to the hospital alone this time, my parents stayed home and ate the nice dinner she prepared. This time it was more of the same, the coffee machine was still broken and because it was after seven o'clock the cafeterias were both closed so we sat and sat and sat. My brother wasn't allowed to eat until he had a CAT scan of the chest to see what was going on. So we both starved miserably and I read and watched some TV while he was examined and taken away for his scan. I bought a bag of hard pretzels out of a vending machine and took a small orange juice from a fridge and that was dinner. He came back and after an eternity was told that he had a touch on Pneumonia in his upper left lung, so they hung a bag of anti-biotic solution given intravenously and got him a lovely dinner of crackers, applesauce, lime jello, and graham crackers with nothing to drink. That took four requests to be accomplished but he finally got some from the staff who seemed eager to get out and go home. While we waited for the meds to finish we watched re-runs of Seinfeld and kept mom, dad and friends posted on developments. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and when I came back I realized that we had been alone in that area for quite a while, the meds were now done and we had been forgotten. I joked with my brother that he should take out the I.V. and we should skip this place. He chuckled and I said "No really, take out that thing then put a piece of gauze and tape and put on your jacket, I'll hit the button on the elevator and out we go down to the basement, then up the stairs by the cafeteria into the front lobby and out the door!" He laughed and said he still needed his script for the Z-pac pills he has to take for the next 10 days but I was only kidding anyway, I just wanted to cheer him up after what amounts to his first brush with a serious illness.
We got home at about 12:30 and I had a few crackers and milk and went to bed exhausted but happy that it wasn't worse than it could have been. Still in the morning I was shot and considered staying home but needing the money I pushed myself to dig deep and get going to work. I stopped for coffee at the supermarket where I usually go and greeted my friends getting their morning cup before work. This machine makes the best decaf ever and I smiled into my cup as I tasted my first gulp. Then continuing my ritual I walked over to the newspapers and looked at each front cover to get an idea of what's happening today. The front page of Newsday made me laugh out loud. The picture shows a NYC policemen in profile and behind him a girl in her twenties is wearing only stockings and garter belt, sun glasses and a big smile! The caption read that the police have been turning a blind eye to incidents like this at Zucotti Park where protesters are stepping up the civil disobedience! That's right they did turn a blind eye. Because the picture was taken the day before the police cleared the park, they allowed the incident to go without arrest to lull the protesters into thinking they could get away with anything. The police knew what would happen less than 24 hours later and besides… she wasn't half bad-looking. Alls well that ends well. My brother is making good progress and should be fine. He threw his pouch of tobacco out on the way to the car when we left the hospital…it made all the effort and lack of sleep worthwhile, I just hope he doesn't have a relapse…I mean on smoking.

Brand information
The first Micro scooter was invented in Switzerland when a group of friends wanted a quicker way to get from A to B without relying on bulky bikes or having to haul their car out of the garage. Since then, they have sold millions of their streamlined folding scooters around the world.
After spotting the Swiss scooter in a Clapham playground, two mums, Anna and Philippa, teamed up to distribute Micro scooters in the UK and share their passion for Micro's bright idea with the nation. John Lewis was the first big name to stock the ingenious new toy, and now Anna and Philippa have helped to sell one million scooters to British children.More from Micro

ObamaCare hurts businesses. That's the result of an exhaustive study polling small to medium-sized businesses.
The controversial government health-care reform increases company and employee costs and sometimes stops companies from hiring as well, participants told the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans in its new study.
"More than half of single employers believe the Affordable Care Act has had a negative effect on their company," according to the report.
The survey, which polled some employers and their health-care pros, found that the majority of respondents, 54 percent, thought the effect of the ACA on their firms had been "negative" or "very negative."
The same respondents also expected that the negative effects from ACA would increase to 66 percent in the near future as the program unfolds.
The survey also found that the ACA is hitting smaller employers — with 50 employees or less — "much harder" than larger ones, even though they are not directly affected.
Employers with fewer than 50 employees are exempted from the ACA health insurance mandate. However, some smaller firms providing health-insurance coverage have found their costs rising at a faster pace than bigger firms since the ACA was enacted, Foundation officials said.
The survey results came at almost the same time that the US Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled against parts of the ACA.
It held that Hobby Lobby and another store could opt out of the contraceptive obligation of the ACA. The companies were opposed to ACA on religious grounds.
The employer poll, which took place in April, was the Foundation's fifth ACA health survey.
Responses were received from 691 human resources workers, benefits professionals and industry experts. The surveyed employers were from 20 industries
"We are seeing firsthand how the Affordable Care Act has had major implications on employers and their employees," said Michael Wilson, CEO of the International Foundation. "Employers are taking a variety of actions to mitigate costs and in most cases are sharing the cost impact with their workforce," he added.
Some of the reactions of employers include:
- Nearly one in six has reduced their workforce.
- More than one in 10 have reduced hours so fewer employees work full time.
- More than one in 10 have frozen or reduced pay raises and compensation.
- One in 10 has cut back on hiring to keep staffing at under 50 employees.
Regardless of the generally negative reaction of employers surveyed, a Foundation official said the ACA is increasing health-care awareness among employers.
"Despite the majority of employers finding the implementation of ACA to have a negative effect on their company, there have been several positive opportunities as well," said Julie Stich, director of research at the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans.
Many employers, she added, are communicating more effectively with their employees since the passage of ACA.
That, Stich says, "has resulted in greater participant engagement with their health-care benefits."

Recently, I did a blog post on a few quotes, songs, and poems that inspired me in my writing. I find that reading these kind of things really motivates me and it spurs new ideas for my books and poetry as well as providing truth and facts about life today. Poetry is one of my passions, so whenever I discover something new that I enjoy, I tend to research more about it.
For this week, I found many poems that inspired me greatly. I pin quite a few poems and such to my Quotes and Lyrics board on Pinterest, so I will have to choose just a few that I really enjoyed. That may be a tough one.
I have never heard of this word until the other day when I saw it on Pinterest. I think it has so much positive meaning. It's a belief that humans can get better, they can improve everything around them including themselves. I think it's beautiful that a word like this, even if is just a word, can mean so much in just a few simple English letters.
This sentence right here says it all. Noone knows the weight they have been carrying until it is taken off, and then their eyes are opened and they see things in a whole new light. I find this quote extremely powerful because I can relate to it somewhat. I have never thought of that in words until I read this quote from The Scarlet Letter.
This is a quote from the poem 'Mad Girl's Love Song' by Sylvia Plath. The poem talks about how the world disappeared in the blink of an eye, and how the writer forgot the name of the person who was suppose to come back for them. The emotions and feelings put on display are dramatic and yet at the same time romantic.
This is another Sylvia Plath poem I found. I was looking up different Plath poetry on Pinterest when I ran into this, and it just struck me. It almost deserves its own story.
I really like the subtle meaning in this quote. People always draw different parts of us out, which is why we must be careful of the company we keep. Different kinds of people remake us into new people continually.
I really love the detailing in this. The idea of using slightly personification is really amazing in the idea of making the girl's heart the storm. I really enjoy storms, anyway.
And that is this week's inspiration. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading! Have a great weekend!

text: Hailing from Baton Rouge, LA, a town known for it's blue collar work ethic and classic southern charm, we have made it our purpose to garner and hone a synergetic commitment to receive and create. Deciding to pick up our respective instruments at the age of 17, we had no premonition of what was to come. With a sound often labeled as "genre-defying" our story began in the shadows and backdrops of the stages, festivals, and arenas in which we have played. No, we weren't artists, but "guitar-slingers" by trade — hired individuals to back solo performing acts. During our stint as backing musicians for rapper Dee-1, and other artists, opportunities to play high profile gigs like the New Orleans Jazz Fest, SXSW, House of Blues New Orleans, and many others arose. It eventually came to the point where we had two options: to be the echo, or the voice. Choosing to be 'the voice', fast-forwarding to today, and stepping to the forefront, we believe we carry the experience, skill, and je ne se quoi to electrify all those who lend their ears.

COSTA MESA — After thousands of hours and dollars, disagreements, threats and emotion, Costa Mesa might end up without control of the Orange County Fairgrounds, at least two politicians familiar with the deal said Wednesday.
Although technically the city still has time for a lawmaker to save the day and attach the necessary legislation to the state budget bill and allow it to buy the fairgrounds from the state, the proposal is considered all but dead.
"All vital signs tell me that this entire deal is in intensive care," Assemblyman Van Tran (R-Westminster) said.
Tran doesn't plan on submitting any legislation for the city to buy the fairgrounds and doesn't know of anyone else who would.

I was very saddened to learn today of the sudden passing of Tim Russert.
In a media saturated age when it is sometimes difficult to discern the talking head journalists from political lobbyists, Tim Russert always seemed to rise above the fray, and ask the tough questions while maintaining professionalism.
It seems an especially cruel twist of fate that Tim went this year, at this time, just before the ramp up to what will likely by a historic election.
Besides mourning Tim Russert's loss as a political journalist, I'll also miss him as a fellow son of Buffalo, who always represented his hometown well and never missed an opportunity to cheer on the Bills or the Sabres.

August Update
Backyard Project
The backyard is done! And just in the nick of time, right before my mother and stepfather's visit.
Here are a couple before and after shots:
Trixie approves!
Here are a few detail shots:
Mom and Stepdad's Visit
The week with my Mom and Stepfather went very well. It was so nice for them to finally see where we live. Lots happened that week. There was a neighborhood BBQ that happened to fall on the day after they arrived, we went to Mendocino for a nice overnight trip, we saw Beach Blanket Babylon with my cousin, her husband, and her stepdaughter, and basically ate like pigs.
Mendocino, CA is a quaint Northern California Coast town. I highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting or lives in the SF Bay area. We stayed at The Headlands Inn which was situated right in town. FANTASTIC!!! A MUST STAY!!! The house was cute, the rooms were very, very comfortable, the breakfast was out of this world, and the staff were top notch. I frankly want to retire there!!!
We took over 200 photos so I'll spare you the boring 'slide show' and only share a handful.
The Headlands Inn, Mendocino, CA
Breakfast Served in the Room (picture doesn't do this breakfast justice)
DJ, Me & Mom
It took all my energy to not buy a roll, run back to the B&B, take a big dump and wipe my ass with Bush's face! Any guesses on the type of store the TP was being sold in?
Knitting Project Update
I actually had a few fleeting moments to knit and finally finish one of my socks.
Hopefully it won't take me another 6 months to finish the 2nd. If only I could sit down and knit more often!

Never realised untill four day of my stay that a Schonner was not a Pint. When I asked for a Pint I got an old pot with a handle; so I then asked for a Pint of Guinness in a straight glass. I got lots of smiles and nods, a few "Bloody Pommie" till someone explained.
It is a great place to overcome Jet Lag and was as safe a place as I have ever got ratarsed in!

It's been hot here. Hot for us, I should say. Up here in the NW where we live, we don't get much humidity, and if the temp climbs toward 90 (F), we all begin to panic. Most of us little folk don't know what it's like to have them new-fangled air conditioners, you see. We just don't need them with all our rain and such.
So we're heat-wimps. That's the gol-durn truth of it. Just plain heat-wimps. We sit around with fans blowing on us, thinking we're about to expire, when really there are nice sea breezes here all the time, and the air always cools down at night. And I know how fortunate we are to live where we do. I know that the rest of this country (and a whole lot of the rest of the world--much of the year!) has suffered heat waves like I can't imagine in my worst moments.
And I know some pretty bad heat moments. There was one summer when I took my blind grandmother back to Kansas where she'd been raised (yep, a Kansas farm-girl) and we spent one night in Kingman, Kansas with her best friend from childhood. Her best friend, named Fern, didn't have air-conditioning in the little brick house where she'd lived all her married life, raised her kids and lived into widowhood. And it was hot. Prairie hot that night. We ate a cold supper of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers straight from her garden that were luscious and sweet and make my mouth water to think of them. Some cold ham, potato salad. You can imagine. At bedtime I was given the front bedroom, like the best guest, while my Grandmom and Fern talked up a storm in Fern's room at the back of the house. Fern had placed an old black rotating fan in the room to help cool it off for me, but all it did was move the stale air around. The hot stale air. I lay there in my underwear, sweating up a storm, with the fan going back and forth, thinking I'd about expire between moments when it touched me. Finally, at about 2 AM, I got up, went to the bathroom and ran a bath. Sank into cool water long enough that I began to drift off right there in that old iron tub. Then I climbed out, didn't even dry off, and finally fell asleep.
That's what I call hot.
That isn't what we have here in NW Washington.
Certainly not when we have a 3.5 ' pool on our patio to dip into whenever the sweat starts to overtake us. Yep, we are spoiled around here.
Which leads me to what I've been thinking about today.
Odd segue perhaps, but with the Olympics on, it's impossible not to notice how these many athletes respond to success. Or just the possibility of success. There's a gambit of reactions, of course, but what strikes me is that confidence can easily puff up into pride. It's almost impossible, perhaps, to remain humble when the whole world watches every move one makes. A whole wall of cameras set up to mark every swim, every vault, every run, and one begins to think that greatness is due. Or that it's not a combination of God-given talent and God-given drive. And as much as the world might say that humility is a virtue, our very actions and responses to celebrity (of any kind) conspire to a different truth. "Aim high; accomplish much; take ownership; be proud of who you are, where you've come and where you're going; don't let anyone get in your way." Aren't these the messages of our culture?
But Christ tells us none of this counts.
So where do we find our better models of humility? Where do we learn the gospel truth of actually putting the interests of others ahead of our own, of giving preference to others?
Now and then, of course, there are those around us who do exemplify the character of Christ in this way. People who humble themselves. We do well to pay attention to them.
I have a friend, for example, who was recently awarded a very prestigious award in her profession. But if you met her, you'd never know that she's nationally renown. This is because she pays more attention to others than she does to herself. she's about as other-oriented as anyone I've ever met.
Other-oriented in the particular--even when she got the award, she actually was more interested in telling her husband about how thrilled she was that others she cares about were honored in other ways.
Other-oriented in daily dealings--she asks more about others and their lives than talks about her own; and thinks--constantly--of how to minister to those around her. Her family, her church, friends.
Other-oriented in her work--she does what she does as a calling. This is profound. Not many people, in ANY job, have a stronger sense of calling than this woman, and she never deviates in desiring to please God in response. Work as worship--I see this in her.
And, of course, other-oriented in her relationship with Christ. She's a disciplined a disciple as you can meet. Daily spending significant time with Him before she goes off into what is surely one of the busiest lives you can imagine. She just doesn't know how to manage ANY of it without first seeking Him. She knows who she is, who she needs, and doesn't waver from Him.
And...she has every reason to be proud. If you knew what she's accomplished in her life, you'd agree with me. You'd be in awe. But her goal is to be faithful. To be a servant to Him who has called her.
This is what humility is. She might say I don't know all that's in her heart. But I say, I don't have to. I know who she is. I know she isn't perfect, but she seeks a perfect God to empower her. God knows what's in her heart. And He is very, very pleased. Faithful is He who has called her...
"Seek to follow my example as I follow Christ," Paul tells us in Phillipians 3. This woman--and others like her--is the person I should train my lens on, keep my eye on. Watching her life, aiming to make her model inform my own.

Bless me bloggosphere, for I have sinned. It has been 15 months since my last blog post, on this blog anyway. Meals with Maggie started as a blog to chronicle my journey with my health and wellness coach, Maggie. Duh. Now, I'm ressurecting it to chronicle a cleanse I'm doing with my favorite Cupcake and friend, Kim, who also happens to be a health and wellness coach.
I learned a lot in my time with Maggie and I made some positive changes, but I didn't continue to make them. I went back to my old habits, as has happened before. But I'm a big believer of getting back up and brushing yourself off and trying again. Never give up. Never surrender.
And so here we are, again.
Today was marketing and food prep day. I went to the coop, filled my cart with fruits and veggies and headed home to prepare some meals for the week.

Our Volunteers look after over 50miles of footpaths and help keep the River Sid free from litter and pollution
We look after the Keith Owen Fund, which gives grants to a wide range of local projects
The SVA was formed in 1846 to protect the landscape and amenities of the Sid Valley
We run events, walks and talks and produce regular newsletters and publications
We own and run the Sidmouth Museum, which attracts around 13,000 visitors every year
We own and maintain over 40 acres of land around the Valley
The Sid Vale Association is the oldest Civic Society in Britain.
On September 18, 1846, the first meeting of the Sidmouth Improvement Committee took place. This was the first expression of concern by our 'founding fathers', to conserve the charm and attractiveness of Sidmouth and the Sid Valley. Later the SVA was registered as a charity:
"… for the Protection of the Beauties and Amenities of the Neighbourhood and to promote and aid its Cultural Development".
The SVA has been active since that time. Over the years we have bought land in the Valley and opened a Museum, maintaining them both through volunteers, organised walks and talks and generally helped to both preserve and improve the appearance and amenities of the Valley.
In 2007 we were bequeathed a considerable sum of money by Keith Owen to set up a Trust Fund, whose income is used for the benefit of the valley. This investment has grown, despite paying out over £700,000 in Grants over the years. For further details of the Keith Owen Fund and its grants follow this link

Dearest compatriots,
This past week was a wonder to observe, with the impending doom of transfer calls always looming in the not-so-distant future. It included a week of the following activities:
As I am still in training, I am able to go and visit other churches willy-nilly, so I figured that I may as well target my pool of investigators current and future by choosing the Catholic Church. It was a really interesting ceremony, with a lot of symbolism, and it explained a lot of beliefs. Mildly funny part: my companion wanted to go up and partake of Communion (a.k.a. bread and the wicked WINE) to which I replied that we wouldn't. In his defense, he didn't know that there was wine up there.
We finally (almost) finished the deck at the Botello's house, and it looks (almost) marvellous. It now has a dark green roof, and it was put on with the expertise that only unskilled laborers (a.k.a. missionaries and a member) could produce. It looks alright and provides a good amount of shade for Sister Botello and her family. We also got to hack a good amount of her tree off with a machete, so woot #RamboPower
We had a terrific futbol event, with our homies Osvaldo and crew turning out to play a couple of games with us. Apparently, there had almost been a scuffle between his crew and another crew that plays with us, so we may have indirectly rekindled some conflicts oops :P
See more in next week's issue (sufficiently teased?)
Caught a (very small) fish today, which was spectacular. It only took me a total of 8 accumulative hours to catch him, so I would say that my proficiency in fishing has... increased. A 6-year-old girl officially out-fished me today, so yay.
This week, the beauty crew (a.k.a. Elder Brown and I) was dissembled. As of next thursday, a number of changes are about to come forth. Almost our entire mission was transferred somewhere or other, and just about everyone received a new companion. For the next 6 weeks/forseeable future, my 24/7 companion/best friend will be none other than Elder Millet. Something that we already have in common is that we were both trained by Elder Brown!
Well, sorry for the lame-ish email this week; we don't have very much time today
Hasta Lunes!!!
Elder Matthew Busi
P.S. For those of y'all who only receive the email, here is the link to observe all pictures of mine. Click and enjoy.

SPECIALIZING in ONLY raising 100% Pure LLEWELLIN's SETTERS from Richard Purcell Llewellin, Esq. himself, his personal bloodline known as his pure "DASHING BONDHU" Llewellin Setters. These were his personal bloodlines for 50+ years until his death. No other bloodline is his personal bloodline and is 100% genetically clean.
They are the ultimate, "NATURAL", close working, foot hunting gentlemen's and lady's bird hunting and family companion dogs ever created in the world. Males only average 50-55 lbs. and females average 35-45 lbs. when grown.
NO American outcrosses, NOT ONE DROP! ALL OUR DOGS ARE "GUN DOG CERTIFIED" and hunted on wild Grouse, Woodcock, native Quail as well as Kansas Ringnecks.

It's amazing how quickly my hackles go up whenever I hear about anything outdoors-oriented that's just for men. I immediately wonder: Haven't we gotten past that?
It took about 90 seconds Saturday morning for me to go from that thought to remorse to tears as I watched a video about Reel Recovery during lunch at the Outdoor Writers Association of America conference at the Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort in Utah.
Reel Recovery is a program for men in treatment for, or recovery from, cancer. It offers retreats for small groups of men, combining fly fishing lessons and what the organization calls "courageous conversations" about cancer and life.
Why do men need something like this? It's pretty simple: Our culture demands of men a huge amount of stoicism in the face of adversity. It takes a really safe environment to relieve men of their sense of duty to suck it up.
I felt terrible about my first reaction. Reel Recovery isn't an archaic no-women-allowed club; it meets a real need. As do all the women-only shooting and hunting events I support. Damn, I hate it when I'm a hypocrite.
But I stand corrected on this one, and I'd like to encourage readers to help spread the word about this program. Know anyone who'd be a great candidate for one of these retreats? Click here for a list of upcoming events. Wanna volunteer? Click here. Can't volunteer, but you'd like to contribute? Click here to make a donation.
I've reached that age where I've known plenty of people - men and women - who've fought cancer, and anything that helps those folks is all right in my book.

And now, something for MEN: Reel Recovery
It's amazing how quickly my hackles go up whenever I hear about anything outdoors-oriented that's just for men. I immediately wonder: Haven't we gotten past that?

This is a program I can understand the need for! My Dad had cancer - and the "buck up and deal with it" part was hard. He would never participate in a fishing workshop - just not his cup of tea... but I wish he had been able to find a safe place to just deal with his own personal concerns about the cancer rather than having to keep on being strong for all of us women in his life :)
Daddy is going on 20 years of mostly cancer free - we had a small scare that was easily taken care of about 8 years ago, but aside from that he's healthy and I'm thankful!

Wonderful group it looks like! Men do still need "man time" especially after battling something like cancer.

Just a few days ago I spent a good bit of time lakeside with someone so very dear to me who is at the end stages of pancreatic cancer. We fished, we talked, we explored the issues of life, death, the whole circle of things that come with a life threatening illness. How much more beneficial it could have been for him if he were with a group of men in a program such as this. We vowed to fish weekly as his condition and mine allow, but I know in my heart I am poor second to sharing with other men - after all I'm just his crazy auntie

Blessed: I'm so glad your dad has fought it successfully! And I know what you mean - my dad probably would've resisted this kind of retreat too, but I think if we could've cajoled him into it, he would've really liked it.
Reel: Agreed! I think there are lots of occasions where man time is a great thing. I just don't like it when it's used to completely exclude women from things they really want to do.
Gretchen, my heart goes out to you and your nephew. But I doubt that you're a poor second - people need all kinds of support, and I love the fact that you've vowed to keep fishing with him as long as he can. Please take care of yourself too - it's not easy watching someone you love fight cancer.

I, too, feel the same way about mens' "support" groups, Holly.
This sounds like a great group, and very helpful for some folks. I wish them the best.

Yeah there really was no taking that presentation any other way! Good organization.

standing applause for that post Holly - how we all stuggle under the weight of attributions, both those we make to ourselves and those others make to us...

What a neat group! Agreed, it serves a real need.
But did you really object to men-only outdoor activities, or to an assumption they imply women can't or shouldn't do the same activities?
I can see taking offense at the latter, but I don't think the implication can be assumed always.
Men need some time in their own company, and not just so we can embrace our hidden vulnerabilities without the women watching. :-)
For me, just being with folks who also can't multi-task is a relief.
I live with my wife and two daughters, all of them wonderfully competent and extremely busy people. It is exhausting!

Matt, I live in a hunting world where there are still some "no women allowed" clubs, and I definitely bristle at such institutionalized gender restrictions. Do I care if men hunt alone together? Not at all. I hunt alone, I hunt with men, I hunt with women and I hunt with men and women. Each of those experiences has value.
And like I said, it took me 90 seconds to see where this one was going and correct my assessment of it. But for what it's worth, I wasn't the only one at my table whose eyebrows shot up when the presentation began.
- July 12, 2011 at 2:22 PM
- SimplyOutdoors said...
This sounds like a great program. I think men really need something like this when you're going through something as adverse as cancer - a place to hang out, have some fun, and not have to worry about being tough all the time.
- July 12, 2011 at 6:48 PM
- Jessica said...
Okay, first of all, yes, that looks like a wonderful program. Kind of makes me feel a little misty-eyed.
Also: your initial reaction reminds me of an episode of Parks and Recreation in which Amy Poehler's character, an avid hunter, wants to tag along with a guys' hunting trip and ends up having to take the rap for an accidental shooting. Here's a clip. It funny. http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreation/video/hunting-trip-im-just-a-girl/1178067/

Thanks so much for sharing your experience at the OWAA conference with your readers. I'm sure you are aware that women are also served in this capacity through Casting for Recovery. In fact, they have been around a lot longer than Reel Recovery. As a member of the Reel Recovery Board of Directors I thank you for helping us spread the word. As a member of the OWAA board of directors I thank you for making the trip to Snowbird and sharing tales from your time there.

- Matt Mullenix said...
Holly I wasn't aware of the hunt club rules (I subscribe mostly to the Groucho Marx philosophy in my hunting associations). Exclusion of women by club rule seems excessive, and annoying if club resources are the prime local spots. Sorry to hear you run into that.
- July 13, 2011 at 10:32 AM
- NorCal Cazadora said...
OK, one of them may be a self-inflicted wound: I'm told women were banned at one club after I wrote this blog post about hunting there. It's not a very formal club, but it is inhabited by Important People.
- July 13, 2011 at 1:38 PM
- NorCal Cazadora said...
Belatedly (catching up!):
Brett: You're welcome! And I actually wasn't aware of Casting for Recovery - I focus much more on hunting than fishing. But thanks for mentioning it!
Jessica: That clip is HILARIOUS!

A Kosovar's critique of American culture
This is a piece that was originally posted to the facebook page of Genc Isa, a Kosovar friend of mine who spent some time in the US. I found it pretty insightful, interesting, and even-handed. Sometimes we can see ourselves better through an outsider's eyes. I thought this was worth passing on so I secured Genc's permission to reprint it here. I thought it best to leave it completely unedited. I hope you'll have the patience to read it through to the end. (You'll see when you get near the bottom that I have an ulterior motive!) I'll be happy to pass on any comments to Genc or put you in touch with him.
American Culture vs Kosova Culture
Hi everyone,
Travelling to the US for a non US is the greatest thing that could happen. Why? Because they think that America will make their life better and fullfil their dreams. They are even to leave their families and community. There is no place in the world that you can be happy without your family. Family is everyone`s treasure. Unfortunately there are people who dont care about this.
While I was in the US, I was driving my bike and looking all these beautiful places, houses, mountains, cars, lakes etc. but something was missing on me. I was wondering how nice it would be if my family was here too. At that time I realized that there is no beautifil place in the world without your family.
Learning another language means learning another culture. In this case I have learned the American culture and now I can easily compare to my culture which is very different. Lets see how the family issue works in America comparing to Kosova:
Families in the US are separated all over America and maybe all over the world. Here families are very close to each other. Brothers and sisters of a Family in America are separated but here its the opposite. You have to live with your own brothers and sisters in one house unless you are rich and have another house to stay but still the youngest son has to take care of the parents til they die. In the US this never happens. You never see ten to fifteen people in one house. Families in the US dont make very often visits to their loved ones. They dont see each other for years. In Kosova they make visits very often. The husband in the family is the head of the house and the wife is responsible to take care of kids and jobs in the house and they would get mad if you enter the house with the shoes on. In the US you can go in the house with the shoes on. Most of the wives dont work because they have to take care of the house. Now it has become same for wives and husbands for work. There is no jobs for none of them. In America both of them work and there is someone else who takes care of the children, of course by paying for it.
Now lets see friends relationships:
While I was in the US I made a lot of friends and they are all great. Sometimes they act selfish. I dont know why but maybe its part of culture. Here are some examples: while in the US one thing really bothered me. While I was going to work, I would see my friends coming in the same direction and they wouldn`t even say Hi to me but just pass making me feel invisible. In Kosova you would stop and sometimes shake hands with your known ones. This has happened many times to me. I would say Hi and they wont even reply. I was thinking whats wrong with him or her. Another thing is that people in America dont share when they eat something. In this case they act selfish because here in Kosova you always offer whatever you are eating to your known or unkown one. So, its very unpolite to eat something on your own and not share with others around you. Unfortunately, this did not happen in America. Its funny one time because when one of my friends was eating something and I was expecting to share it with me...ahaha. I was thinking she is acting selfish.
Marriage Culture:
In America people get married in the Church. Here they dont get married in the Mosque (lol) unless you are a Christian. Many years ago, the bride was chosen by the family and you would marry her but now its like in America, you find your own soul. Anyway, the marriage is very different than in the US. The girls of the family`s boy and neighborhood sing for a week before the marrige is done. They sing about how good is the boy. Then, after a week singing all the village or the known ones of the boy go to take the bride with a lot of cars and bring her to the bridegroom. In addittion, they still sing til the time when the bride and the bridegroom go in the room. While the bride is the living room, she cannot sit but stand and look down only. This is how it works here.
Wearing Culture:
To me this is a very big culture difference. Girls here wear very tight clothes, long women boots and heels and a lot of make-up and thats why I dont like them, for those who wear like that. They are beautiful without make-up so I dont know why they do this. To me this is very disgusting. In the US girls wear very simple clothes and no make-up. For me this is a very positive thing. Boys wear normal clothes. Old men wear a special type of wear and a special type of hat. They never wear shorts even when its very warm during the summer. They wear always the same clothes. They wash them of course. Some of very few young women wear scarf because of their belief orientation but most of the old women wear it because they are old. In the US I have seen this differene where old and young women and men wear normal clothes as well as for boys and girls. Its very unpolite for an old man to wear shorts and T-shirts with colors and nice athletic shoes. Everyone would laugh and think he is crazy. I have seen this many times in the US but I did not laugh because thats the American culture, right?
Other culture issues:
Can you please help me? We dont use the word Please. People would laugh and look you strange because you are being too way smarter than others. I had an experience with this while in the US. I saw a friend of mine taking breadrolls so I asked him bring me one too. He comes in the living room with two breadrolls and I ask: "Where is mine". He says: "You did not ask please". That was a very shock time for me, anyway I learned through that. Now I use please all the time in the US of course and when dealing with Americans.
People dont tip here. One day my friend took me and my family to restaurant who is American. When we were done and heading home she left a tip on the table. I noticed that she forgot the money so I grab it and while they were leaving I say: "You forgot your money". Then she explains what tip means. I have seen in the US how people tip and I think thats great.
Animals are not polite to keep in the house for most of the people, mostly women because they think animals make their houses dirty. There is not a lot of people that have dogs and cats in the house. If they have, they keep them outside. People say that dogs and cats are not created for inside but for outside. They hate the thing to have an animal in the house. They are very rude to them beating and throwing stones at them especially kids unrespected with dogs, cats, cows, horses etc. I feel sorry now because I used to be like that. I used to throw rocks and beat animals when I was kid. I used to beat cows, horses, dogs and throw rocks at cats. Now, I love animals and would love to have one in my house. In the US almost every house has animals in the house.
Now, let me switch the theme:
I have seen that people in America have lost their interest in missions around the world. We have missionaries here in Kosova and they need support from their brothers and sisters. There is a family from California who want to move. They have been trying to raise their fund for two years and now its only 50%. Arent Christian Missions part of Bible and part of the Gospel? Being a missionary and saving people spreading the Gospel is a part of what Jesus Christ, isnt it?
To conclude all this is that I have had a great experience and time in the US. Culture did not really bother me because I have warmly received the American Culture and now I can act in both cultures, Kosovo and American Culture. In the future I want to learn another language and another culture. I have learned many things from my trip in the US, mostly for myself.
If there is anything you disagree, please dont hesitate to criticize me!?
All my Love and Blessings to you brothers and sisters!
Genc Isa

Published On : 21 Nov 2016
QYResearchReports.com has announced the addition of a new research report titled "Global Almond Milk Sales Market Report 2016." The 103-page comprehensive publication presents a comprehensive picture of the current competitive dynamics and future growth prospects in the almond milk market in the face of stiff competition from similar products such as soy milk.
Gradually supplanting the demand for organic milk, almond milk has managed to establish a solid foothold in the market for dairy-alternative milk. One of the main reasons for this is its pleasing flavor and ability to blend easily in different forms of liquids, semi-solids, and solids. As a result of such properties, almond milk is increasingly being used as a base for smoothies and as an additive in hot and cold beverages such as coffee or tea. Besides this, the fact that almond milk is naturally free from lactose makes it an ideal healthy drink for lactose-intolerant consumers. It is also low in calories, making it a perfect choice for the calorie conscious. Further, it can supersede milk for baking purposes as well.
In order to study the global sales of almond milk in depth, the report segments it region-wise into the U.S., Europe, China, and Japan. It analyzes trends in each region by factoring in key players operating in the market, their current market size in terms of sales and revenue, and the projected growth revenue-wise till 2021. Among the four regions – all of which have seen a steady spike in demand – North America and Europe have seen maximum growth revenue-wise.
To get sample copy of report visit @ https://www.qyresearchreports.com/sample/sample.php?rep_id=861148&type=E
Having analyzed the market for almond milk by region, the report goes onto segment it by product type and application into three parts. It takes up each segment and studies its revenue, market share, and growth prospects. The report also presents a cost analysis of the market, wherein it talks about the availability and prices of raw materials, their main suppliers, and the cost of labor. All of that is meant to help new and established players in the industry to draw an idea about the current manufacturing costs.
The report analyzes the industrial chain, including raw material sourcing strategies and downstream buyers. It outlines the marketing, branding, and pricing strategies of distributers and traders to acquire and retain clients. It also peruses the direct and indirect marketing channels in the global almond milk market.
Various technological developments in the recent past have shaped the global market for almond milk. While some have provided a fillip to the market growth, others have negatively impacted the market. The report sheds light on all such important innovations and goes onto elaborate upon threat from substitutes, technology progress in related industries, the effects of changing economic and political scenario, and the evolution of consumers' preferences and requirements.
Some of the prominent companies operating in the global almond milk market that have been profiled in the report are Blue Diamond Growers, Earth's Own Food Company, Califia Farms, WhiteWave Foods, and Nutriops. The research study mentions their product offerings, pricing, revenue, and sales figures.

TELUS Reports Blazing-Fast Results With Next Generation of Wireless Technology (wireless speeds of 29.3 Gbps)Thursday, October 6, 2016
Company Profile | Follow Company

Burnaby, BC, October 6, 2016--(T-Net)--As carriers around the world work towards developing the next generation of wireless technology, TELUS, a national telecommunications company, and Huawei, one of the world's largest telecommunications and ICT (information and communications technology) suppliers, reported that they are a step closer to the future after successfully achieving wireless speeds of 29.3 Gbps.
These ground-breaking trials are laying the foundation for 5G, which will enable the likes of driverless cars; smart homes, businesses and cities; new innovations in healthcare; as well as yet-to-be-imagined applications, devices and services powered by astonishingly fast and reliable wireless connections.
The speed tests took place in the heart of TELUS and Huawei's 5G Living Lab in Vancouver, where both companies have been trialling next generation technologies since late last year in a live, real-world setting. While 5G is anticipated to become mainstream by 2020, TELUS customers living in the Vancouver area will have early access to some of the most cutting-edge wireless technologies in the world.
"While we innovate towards the future of wireless standards with our 5G live trial, our feet are firmly rooted in the present; the Living Lab will allow us to deploy continuously faster and more reliable network technologies for our customers in real time," said Eros Spadotto, TELUS' Executive Vice President of Technology Strategy. "We're still in the early days of determining what the deployment of 5G will look like, but what we do know is that it will be a quantum leap forward in wireless technology and the foundation of future innovations."
In addition to the successful 29.3 Gbps field trial of 5G, one 4G LTE wireless site in Vancouver has also been upgraded with the latest advancement in LTE-Advanced Pro technologies capable of speeds of up to 1 Gbps -10 times faster than current LTE-Advanced speeds.
Five more sites will be upgraded in the coming weeks, and TELUS customers will be able to take advantage of these technologies as early as next year, as LTE-Advanced Pro compatible devices become available.
"This is a tremendous achievement for our TELUS and Huawei 5G Living Lab Partnership," said Sean Yang, President Huawei Canada. "We are also extremely proud that much of the technology used in this trial is a result of the 'Made in Canada' leadership of our Huawei Canada Research Centre team. Huawei's Canada Research Centre has become one of the global pioneers for 5G technology. The success of the trial today, with a great Canadian partner in TELUS, reinforces the important role Canada is playing in leading global 5G technology development."
TELUS' advancements towards 5G builds on the company's $1-billion investment to connect Vancouver to the TELUS PureFibre network, which will ultimately provide the backbone to support lightning-fast wireless speeds as the development roadmaps for wireless and wireline networks converge around 5G concepts.
The PureFibre network will provide nearly limitless capacity to support the highly efficient, reliable and blazing-fast wireless speeds 5G will enable for customers, heightening the importance of TELUS' fibre investments across Canada.

Dear Friends,
Thank you to the many volunteers and contributors who are making this summer such a success! Two weekends ago, volunteers and staff were busy with both Becky's Place at the Remote Area Medical (RAM) program in Wise County and our annual golf tournament. Becky's Place offers hundreds of southwestern Virginians a three-day educational tent to learn more about health risks and preventive measures. Our 27th annual Women's Memorial Golf Tournament offered a great morning of golf and auction, raffle, and luncheon, raising $28,000 from our very generous participants.
Currently, VBCF is reviewing applications from public library systems across the state to award our biannual grants to purchase up-to-date breast cancer resources for patrons. In addition, VBCF is inviting nominations for our annual Kohlenberg and Dopp Awards to be given to a top-notch breast health care provider and outstanding volunteer so please consider nominating.
Finally, we need your help to choose our first annual VBCF t-shirt design for 2013! Below you will find the two design choices we're excited about and you can click to vote on your favorite until Monday, August 5. We will make an announcement once the winner is chosen and the shirts are available for purchase. We hope you will get a shirt early so you can proudly display your VBCF support in October and all year round!
Wishing you and yours good health,
Katy Sawyer
Executive Director
The Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation takes great pride in recognizing the shining stars who have contributed to the fight against breast cancer.
Nominations are due on Monday, August 12, 2013.

Racial gap remains in breast cancer survival rates
The two-decade-long divide in breast cancer survival rates among black and white women has not budged, and the difference is driven more by how sick women are when they come in for a diagnosis rather than the differences in how they're treated, a new study says.
Virginia groups, experts hail gene patenting ruling
Of the 21 patients seen at the University of Virginia High Risk Breast and Ovarian Cancer Clinic in Charlottesville on Friday, four got tests to check for gene mutations linked to inherited forms of breast and ovarian cancer, said surgeon David R. Brenin. Several other patients were there for follow-up, having been tested and known to carry the gene mutations.
Human genes may not be patented, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Thursday. The decision is likely to reduce the cost of genetic testing for some health risks, and it may discourage investment in some forms of genetic research.
