(Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing )
As our loved one's physical or mental status declines, we are often faced with the difficult decision of long term care placement. The following guidelines can be used in determining whether a nursing and rehabilitation center or an assisted living facility is appropriate.
1. Assess your loved ones mental, physical and lifestyle needs.
Do they require 24 hour nursing care as provided in a nursing home setting, or can they live in a semi-independent environment of an assisted living facility? Assisted living facilities provide residents with support in bathing, dressing, medication administration and other activities of daily living. Nursing homes provide a higher level of care under the 24 hour supervision of licensed nurses. Both settings can provide support services for individuals having Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. Facility personnel should perform an evaluation of your loved one to determine which type of facility and services are most appropriate.
2. Start with a list of recommended facilities in your geographic area.
A social worker at a local hospital or your local Department of Aging may be able to provide you with a listing of nursing homes or assisted living facilities in your area. Often these professionals have personal knowledge of these facilities and can be a valuable resource. When choosing a facility don't forget the all important location, location, location! It is important to try and select a facility that is close to the friends and relatives who will be visiting your loved one. Continued involvement by family and friends will help the resident transition to their new home setting.
3. Make a personal visit to the facility.
This will be a prime opportunity to observe the physical characteristics of the facility, and a more realistic impression of how the facility operates.. Consider asking the following questions:
A. Ask to speak to the people who are already in the facility. This includes residents and staff members. When talking with staff, determine whether they seem friendly, open and honest. Are they respectful, cheerful and loving? Members of the staff will be a part of your daily life; be sure that they seem kind and accommodating.
B. Ask to attend a meal and sample the food. Often, the assistance provided by the staff to residents in the dining room is a good reflection of the staffing patterns in the facility. Ask about the facility's capabilities to accommodate special dietary needs or preferences. Do they have many choices on the menu? Is the food tasty and nutritious? Does the meal appear appetizing?
C. Ask for a list of activities provided that week. Most long term care facilities provide various activities in an effort to keep their residents stimulated. This is important for purposes of maintaining good physical and mental health. Do they have outside activities, field trips, music, exercise classes, craft projects, game nights?
D. Ask about the staffing at the facility. What is the ratio of staff members to residents? Are there any state minimum staffing levels, and if so, how does this facility compare? Have the staff members received any specialized training for dementia or Alzheimer's care? Who are the medical professionals on staff and are they available at all hours? What is the typical response time once a call for help has been placed? Is medical care provided on-site or does the facility provide transportation to accommodate medical visits?
E. If your loved one has a disability that requires a physical therapy program, does the facility have a rehabilitative program in place to meet those needs? If so, does the facility have the equipment on site, or are the residents commuted to these services? How often is the rehabilitative staff at the facility, full or part-time? How often can the regular staff provide exercise activities to compliment the rehabilitation?
4. Check on the reputation of any facility that you are considering
Regulations vary from state to state, but all nursing facilities must meet certain Federal requirements. When interpreting these reports, remember that even the most reputable facilities may have a code violation. It is important to assess the violations on a case by case basis, since some are certainly more important than others. Contact the facility administrator to elaborate on these findings and ratings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides nursing facility survey results on their website at www.cms.hhs.gov.
5. Make inquiries about payment options for long term care
Ask about the accepted insurances and financial assistance available for services provided at the facility. Will the resident qualify for Medicare coverage? Is the facility versed on the Medical Assistance eligibility and application process? Does the facility accept Veteran's Benefits or have staff available to help you apply for benefits? Most nursing homes participate in the Medicare Program. However not all nursing homes participate in Medical Assistance. Medicare coverage may be available for the first 100 days of care in a skilled nursing facility. Medicare pays 100% of the cost for the first 20 days. For the next 80 days, the resident is responsible for a copayment of $133.50 per day. Medicare establishes the copayment amount each January. Once Medicare benefits are no longer available, alternative funding must be arranged.
Medicare does not cover care provided in an Assisted Living setting. Certain states do have a Medical Assistance program that provides coverage for care in an Assisted Living facility. However, not all Assisted Living facilities participate in the Medical Assistance Program. In order to qualify for Medical Assistance benefits in either setting, the individual must meet certain medical and financial eligibility requirements. These requirements differ from state to state.
Compare prices among senior facilities. Some facilities have all services and amenities bundled into a flat daily rate and other facilities charge separately for supplies and additional support services.
By careful and well thought-out research, you can feel comfortable that you have selected the most appropriate care setting and facility. Frequent visits and ongoing support should be welcomed by facility staff. Remember, continued involvement by family is important to the overall care of your loved one.

Goldsmith points out that the problem with feedback is that it focuses on the past (and blame!) rather than on the future (and growth). Feedforward emphasizes ideas that can help you do a better job next time, instead of analyzing where you screwed up last time. Imagine development sessions without criticism, defensiveness, or arguing about who was wrong and who was right. (Hey, imagine a marriage like that!)
Try the exercise Goldsmith uses. We found it a much more productive and respectful way to share ideas about how we can do better. And after seeing a group of twenty practicing, we were delighted by the energy and connection in the room.
Of course, we can't completely abandon talking about the past. But we can use feedforward more often than we think. It's a great tool for keeping communication positive and fruitful. And people eat it up.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Officials are working to reduce emergency response times after a new fire chief said his department is too slow in responding to calls.
The Associated Press reported about half the Green Bay Metro Fire Department responses last December were slower than the industry standard of 90 seconds.
Chief David Litton says part of the delay comes from 911 dispatchers starting the response clock before sounding the alarm at the station, according to the report. Chief Litton said dispatchers also spend too much time asking questions before sending responders to medical emergencies, according to the report.
Dispatchers are being retrained to sound the alarm faster and get firefighters more quickly out the door to emergencies.
The new process is set to begin April 1, and will be used in every fire department, according to the report.

Awesome tour. The Guide is makes it even better.
Fantastic tour, our Guide was brilliant and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend it - and it isn't too scary!
My friend who has been to Edinburgh a few times and I booked this tour as a last minute addition to our weekend in Edinburgh, purchasing through the app was easy enough however trying to locate the starting point was very difficult. We asked several locals, google map's and eventually took a taxi and sadly not even the taxi could find it. We went into a bar close by to ask for more directions and came upon a very helpful man who knew the tour guide and proceeded to call them advising we were on our way down. He took us to the corner of the next street where our tour was supposedly waiting but again no sign. After this we sadly gave up. I'm sure the tour itself would have been brilliant if you were lucky enough to find the starting place.
Excellent tour guide, spooky atmosphere, would recommend A
wish we could have seen more of the vaults.

Whole Church, Whole Gospel, Whole World
HT: Tim Brister
Jerk Christians
Found this humorous, but true:
Churches must not look for people who are never jerks, but for the people who admit that they are jerks and are willing to fight it. Kind of like me. Maybe like you?
Jonathan Leeman, Church Membership, p. 90.
Trueman on the Gospel and the Church
Carl Trueman has some excellent thoughts on the gospel and the church. As much as I have a concern and love for the local church, he reminds me why the gospel must remain central. Below is an excerpt of what he writes. Read the whole thing here.
Now, Paul certainly thought ecclesiology was important: it is why he spends so much time talking about it in his Pastoral Epistles. He also had very little to say about arts pastors. He never seems to have identified the Christian mind with being taken seriously by secular academics, intellectuals, and people who throw paint at blank canvases. But he did spend rather a lot of time talking about Christ. Indeed, his primary focus was always on the gospel and – crucially – he never conflated the gospel with the doctrine of the church or with opinions about the Christians relationship to secular society. Ecclesiology is necessary to Paul in this end-time tribulation for the preservation and transmission of the gospel. For Paul, an understanding of believers as sojourners and pilgrims arises out of a correct understanding of what the gospel means; but neither of these are to be identified in itself with the gospel or to occupy more discussion space than the gospel.
Elephant Room Reaction
In case you aren't familiar with the Elephant Room you can check it out here. If you are familiar with it, then you know the recent swirl that has taken place with the invitation of T.D. Jakes. Below are three helpful reflections that I benefited from.
Grace and Truth Beyond the Elephant Room, by Trevin Wax
Truth, Debate, Unity, and The Elephant Room, by Joe Thorn
The Elephant in the Room, by Voddie Baucham
Seven Thoughts on the Elephant Room and T.D. Jakes, by Kevin DeYoung

11 Things I'm Thinking in the Wake of Recent Events, by Thabiti Anyabwile
Carson and Keller on Jakes and the Elephant Room, by Don Carson & Tim Keller
Two Helpful Posts from 9Marks
I really appreciate the 9Marks ministry. Where I have really benefited from them is how to put "flesh on the bones" so to speak. Scripture clearly gives us the theology and direction for ministry, but at times pastors need encouragement in connecting the dots and thinking practically about certain situations. Recently I found two posts by 9Marks that were especially applicable.
What To Say To Church Members Leaving for Poor Reasons
Rediscovering the Gospel
Probably most are familiar with this article from Bridges' book, The Bookends of the Christian Life, but it is well worth reading again.
How a Mega-Church is Rediscovering the Gospel, by Joe Coffey.
Pastoral Ministry
A couple of interesting posts have recently come up regarding the challenges of pastoral ministry. The first is by Thabiti Anyabwile. Here are some of the statisitics he shares (read the rest here):
Hours and Pay
- 90% of the pastors report working between 55 to 75 hours per week.
- 50% feel unable to meet the demands of the job.
- 70% of pastors feel grossly underpaid.
Training and Preparedness
- 90% feel they are inadequately trained to cope with the ministry demands.
- 90% of pastors said the ministry was completely different than what they
thought it would be like before they entered the ministry.
Health and Well-Being
- 70% of pastors constantly fight depression.
- 50% of pastors feel so discouraged that they would leave the ministry if
they could, but have no other way of making a living.
Marriage and Family
- 80% believe pastoral ministry has negatively affected their families.
- 80% of spouses feel the pastor is overworked.
- 80% spouses feel left out and under-appreciated by church members.
Church Relationships
- 70% do not have someone they consider a close friend.
- 40% report serious conflict with a parishioner at least once a month.
- #1 reason pastors leave the ministry — Church people are not willing to go the same direction and goal of the pastor. Pastors believe God wants them to go in one direction but the people are not willing to follow or change.
- 50% of the ministers starting out will not last 5 years.
- 1 out of every 10 ministers will actually retire as a minister in some form.
- 4,000 new churches begin each year and 7,000 churches close.
- Over 1,700 pastors left the ministry every month last year.
- Over 1,300 pastors were terminated by the local church each month, many without cause.
- Over 3,500 people a day left the church last year.
The other post is from Jared Moore (read here). His post is more about the way you will be treated in pastoral ministry, rather than statistics about it. Here's what he writes:
If you enter pastoral ministry…
10. Not everyone will like you.
9. You will make people angry regardless how godly you handle yourself; it comes with the position.
8. You will feel like a failure often; and when you do appear to succeed, the fruit that is produced cannot be accredited to you. God alone gives the increase. Thus, there is little "sense of accomplishment in ministry" that you may be accustomed to in other vocations.
7. You will fight legalism and liberalism, along with laziness, ignorance, tradition, and opposition.
6. Not everyone will respond positively to your preaching, teaching, or leadership. You will bring people to tears with the same sermon: one in joy, another in anger (I have done this).
5. You will be criticized, rarely to your face, and frequently behind your back. This criticism will come from those that appear to love you, those that obviously do not like you, and pastors and Christians that barely know you.
4. You will think about quitting yearly or monthly, if not weekly or even daily.
3. You will be persecuted for preaching the truth, mostly from your brothers and sisters in the pews.
2. You will feel very lonely on a consistent basis, feeling like no one truly knows you or cares how you feel, because you do not want to burden your family, and trust-worthy peers are few and far in-between. Because of the "super-Christian" myth accredited to pastors literally, you will find it extremely difficult to disclose your deep thoughts and feelings to others. Thus, you will struggle with loneliness.
1. You will probably pastor a church that is barely growing (if at all), is opposed to change, doesn't pay well, has seen pastors come and go, doesn't respect the position as biblically as they should, doesn't understand what the Bible says a pastor's or a church's jobs are, and will only follow you when they agree with you (thus, they'll really only follow themselves).
After understanding these realities, do you still want to be a pastor? If so, then God has probably called you to the ministry!
I can certainly agree and relate to much of what both of these men have written. With that said, there is nothing else I would ever want to do than be a pastor. Despite the many hardships, I can easily list the fruit and blessings that God has bestowed in ministry. Yes, it is good to be reminded of the challenges with pastoral ministry, but let us also give thanks that God has called us to such a noble task and makes us fit for it according to his grace.


text: KIRKUS REVIEW Anshl Bondi left Vienna with his family after participating in the rebellion against Metternich. This second book in the Covenant Series, a biographical series recording the contributions of Jewish Americans to our national history, follows his efforts to establish Kansas as a free state. Bondi changed his first name to August, became silent partner in a store, which was raided by ruffians, and was a friend and supporter of John Brown, the "Old Man" of Osawotomi, who ultimately was hanged for his insurrectionist seizure of Harper's Ferry arsenal. Bondi's own experiences of tyranny in Viennese ghettos sparked an undying sympathy for the underdog. Though the author might have spelled out a little more clearly the political ramifications of the proslavery massacre at Lawrence, Kansas, and Brown's vengeful retaliatory slaughter of five at Pottawatomie, the subject and events are complex. In a sense Brown takes the story away from Bondi. In a series of this kind, it is important to develop the relationship between a man's faith and his deeds. To serve the purposes of later books in the series, we hope there will be clearer depiction of the sources of the hero's values.

FALMOUTH — Nearly a dozen decorated Christmas wreaths were stolen from the Falmouth Congregational Church last week before an annual fundraising event.
Beth Anderson, who co-chairs the church wreath committee, said the total value of the stolen wreaths was about $250; each one sells for between $25 and $28. All proceeds go towards the church's general fund, and are eventually donated to various causes.
"We want people (who live in the area) to be aware this happened," Anderson said.
The wreaths were to be sold at the church's annual Holly Days Fair, which was held Nov. 21. Town Councilor Russell Anderson, Beth's husband, said it is likely the wreaths were stolen the night before the event.
He said the Holly Days Fair is the church's biggest fundraising event of the year.
"I think this is absolutely the first time (a theft) has ever happened," he said.
Russell Anderson said the $250 was "not insignificant at all," and said he hopes whoever stole the wreaths will return them.
"The church isn't mad or vindictive, we just want the community to be aware," he said. "If the person who has the wreaths sees fit to return them that would be wonderful."
The Andersons are both members of the church on 267 Falmouth Rd.
Falmouth Police Lt. John Kilbride said six wreaths were reported missing over the weekend, although it is possible the number has increased.
"It's unusual," Kilbride said. "It's too bad."
Laurie Davis, who co-chairs the committee with Beth Anderson, said it was "disheartening" to discover the wreaths had been stolen. She said eight wreaths were discovered missing on Saturday morning, and three more wreaths were declared missing in the afternoon.
"We worked hard on those," Davis said. "It's so disappointing to know that somebody would do that."
Beth Anderson said the wreath committee, made up of 14 people, had been working on the wreaths since September, first gathering materials and eventually spending "hours of work" on decorating. There was a total of about 130 wreaths, and about three-quarters of them were decorated, she said.
Beth Anderson said only decorated wreaths were stolen, while the "more accessible and clean" wreaths had been left alone.
The wreaths had been left outside, set back from the church. Davis said they were delivered on Nov. 13, so they had been sitting out for a week before the theft, tied down and covered with a tarp. Davis said the wreaths need to be outside to ensure they keep them fresh.
"The sense at first was disbelief that someone would come up and steal these and steal from a church," Beth Anderson said.
Anderson said she believes whoever stole the wreaths intends to resell them, which Davis also suspected. The wreaths are made of evergreens purchased from Skillins Greenhouse, with colored bows, cones and berries on them. They are in two sizes, 18 inches and 24 inches.
Davis said they would "stand out in a crowd."
After the theft, the wreath committee bought materials to make replacement wreaths, because several had been pre-ordered.
Despite the theft, Anderson said the Holly Days Fair was very successful, and wreath sales alone raised about $2,800. She said in addition to selling all the wreaths, community members donated enough money to reimburse the cost for the replacement wreaths.
She expressed her thanks to donors and the community for their support, said she wasn't sure how much had been raised in total. However, in years past the event has netted over $14,000, Anderson said.
"People should be aware that … even in our town these things are happening," Davis said.

Another anonymous source concerned about 'redundancies and 20 per cent pay cuts' at North Notts College claims staff were left 'demoralised' when they were told their jobs could be axed 'in an email'.
The claims were made in an anonymous letter which is the second to be sent in to the Guardian after it emerged that teacher roles at the college could be in jeopardy.
It reads: "The cuts and redundancies at North Notts College are true."
"Staff were told about the pay cuts via email."
"Even though a meeting was held days before the email was sent, the principal failed to put that information to staff in his staff briefing."
The letter goes on to say:"Staff are being demoralised and demotivated."
"North Notts College will never be an outstanding college if they lose all their outstanding staff."
"It needs investigating and something needs to be done soon."
North Notts College principal John Connolly was unavailable for comment on the new claims, but previously revealed that the college was undergoing a 'detailed restructuring.'
He did not confirm whether or not any redundancies or pay cuts would definitely go ahead, but added: "We are having to do more with less, just like everyone else in the higher education sector at the moment."
"Whilst the outcome of the consultation remains to be determined, our proposals would create a significant number of posts with responsibility for ensuring the quality of programmes for students, as well as the opportunity to recognise a number of outstanding lecturers as experts in their profession who will be able to offer coaching support to their colleagues."
"If any colleagues are financially affected by the proposals which are eventually agreed, we have already indicated that we would look to offer pay protection to offset the impact as far as possible."
Joe Rooney, branch development organiser at the University and College Union (UCU), told the Guardian the union wanted to 'secure the best possible position' for its members.
He added: 'North Notts College has now formally notified the University and College Union of its plans for a staff restructure and contract changes."
"We are currently consulting with members and sister unions about the plans."
"We will also be meeting with the management team at North Notts College to discuss the proposals."

The reboot already has started.
In the past month, the Avalanche — as part of general manager Joe Sakic's plan to get younger and faster and chase away the stench of this horrible season — has signed and brought in 2016 first-round draft choice Tyson Jost, 19; traded for winger Sven Andrighetto, 24; and recalled Anton Lindhom, 22, and J.T. Compher, 21, from the AHL's San Antonio Rampage.
Jost, just coming off his freshman season at North Dakota, will play his second game for Colorado on Sunday in St. Paul, Minn., against the Wild. Andrighetto, acquired from Montreal for Andreas Martinsen on March 1, has five goals and 11 points in 14 games for the Avalanche and is skating on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. Lindholm is averaging nearly 15 minutes of ice time, doesn't have a point and is a minus-6. And Compher, the former University of Michigan captain who was raised in the Chicago area, has three goals in 16 games.
"I think it's going pretty well," Compher said after practice Saturday at the Family Sports Center. "I'm getting more comfortable as I go along, a little more confident in my ability to make plays. The coaching staff and all the players have been awesome, helping me and giving me tips."
Compher centered Gabe Landeskog and Matt Duchene, who has been moved back to right wing, in the 2-1 shootout win over St. Louis on Friday, as coach Jared Bednar stepped away from his tentative plan to throw Jost in the deep end and have him at center on that line.
After Saturday's practice, Bednar said he would leave things the same for Sunday's game, meaning Jost will be between Rene Bourque (Wisconsin) and Matt Nieto (Boston University) on an all-college line.
Compher was Buffalo's second-round pick in 2013 before coming to Colorado, along with Nikita Zadorov and Mikhail Grigorenko, as part of the Ryan O'Reilly trade in 2015. He signed with the Avalanche after his junior season and had 13 goals in 41 games for the Rampage before his recall the day after the trading deadline.
"I've seen a lot of good things," Bednar said. "To me, for one, he's an intelligent player, he can make plays and he skates, plays a good pace. He's a tenacious guy, he's always on the puck, around the puck, he's smart in his positioning, he stops and battles and competes hard to get to the front of the net. He's scored a couple of goals because of that. ... He's a good defender, a 200-foot guy, and we really like what we're seeing out of him right now."
Compher came up after the Avalanche traded Jarome Iginla to Los Angeles, and he said his time in the AHL was educational.
"Playing your first pro schedule, you learn consistency, taking care of your body and being ready to go every other night or every third night," he said. "I think that's where it helped me, I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff."
This is only a hint of what the Avalanche will look like next season, after shedding some veteran contracts and making other changes.
"For me, this is about trying to finish the season hard and taking advantage of this opportunity of playing up," Compher said. "Whatever position they put me in, I want to excel and improve. The other stuff is for other people to worry about. My job is to just play."

I started to write this post yesterday, just a few hours before heading to our morphology scan. I came back today to discover it hadn't saved properly and so here I am starting again, only this time I'm on the other side of the scan!
Yesterday's post explained how I was excited and eager to find out the gender of our Jelly Baby, how I couldn't wait the 40 weeks to know and how I just wanted to know now because I'm impatient and want to go out and choose names and buy itty bitty baby clothes (gender appropriate)! For me, there's just something about knowing the gender already that helps me connect with the child during the pregnancy. It's easier for me to begin to form a strong bond with the baby knowing whether that baby is a boy or a girl.
Of course, I know that a scan is not 100% accurate (I know of many would-be "girls" who have been born boys), and I keep that in mind through out the rest of the pregnancy…… but I'm not going to let it hold me back from buying a stack of girly, girly, girly things!!!
Oh, yeah, did I mention that yet?
She's a GIRL!!
Woo hoo!
We are so excited to be giving a little sister to our already adorable 2 boys! We are thrilled!
I think I'm still in a bit of shock, though. After having two boys and always having to walk straight past those cutesy, cutesy baby girl clothes (which always seemed like a dream to me), I can now waltz in to a store and pick out the sweetest, girliest outfit imaginable. Oh, the JOY! 🙂 I'm dreaming of flowery, frilly skirts, pink ballet shoes and sparkly, feathery accessories and embellishments. Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming… Oh, the JOY!
I can't believe I'm going to have a little baby girl to hold in my arms. I'm over the moon… and I wonder how it will change the dynamic of our family.
Time will tell. 21 weeks to go! Yay!
I can't wait!

Sadhguru: Human mind, because it wants to fix one thing, it invents too many things. Because one fundamental ingredient is missing, instead of getting to it, it tries to invent so many things. Various types of moralities, various ideas of virtue and sin all these things have been invented by human mind just to fill that one slot which has not been filled, that is to be in connection with the Divine which is throbbing within us. Because that one thing is missing, we are trying to make it up with so many things. What is virtue, what is sin, if you go about debating, I'm sure each individual have his own sense of what is virtue and what is sin, of course according to his convenience, you know. All this is just a circus that the mind is doing, simply because the conscious contact with that which is the basis of who you are has not been established, because to cover that one lacking we've invented so many things.
On a Sunday morning, in a sunday school the Sunday School teacher was very enthusiastic and he wanted the little tiny tots who were before him to get something that day. So he was talking about virtue. And then he said, 'Today, as I was coming to the church I saw two people beating up a donkey very badly; I went and saved this donkey from the beating. What virtue is that?' So a little boy in the back row stood up and said, 'Brotherly love.' (Laughter) So your ideas of virtue can always be twisted and turned in so many different ways from generation to generation. Ideas of morality, ideas of virtue and sin are twisting and turning, isn't it? Whichever way it is convenient for today, accordingly we'll twist it, and always there's a debate as to which is virtue and which is sin. From society to society, from generation to generation, from individual to individual – within the house if there are four people, four people have four different standards of virtue, isn't it so? No? All this, just a cover up job.
To being Being moralistic means, to be in morality means you are in pretention of spirituality. What should have naturally occurred, you're trying to act it out. If you were a flower that blossomed, fragrance would naturally come, because you're a plastic flower now, you're trying to spray. You spray today in an hour's time, again it's gone. Morality is a big circus; with great difficulty people are being moral, isn't it? No? With great difficulty and those of them who are successful in being moralistic, those people who are one hundred percent correct in their morals, one thing that's happening with them is nobody wants to be around them. They don't mind being around somebody who's immoral, but they want somebody lively, isn't it? Totally moral and lifeless, nobody wants to be with them.
Please see, the more an individual person thinks that he is a good person, 'I'm good, I'm good, I'm good,' nobody wants to be with him, because this idea of what is morality, what is virtue, what is sin, is essentially coming in comparison with somebody else. How do I come to a conclusion that I'm a good man? He is not okay, yes? Not okay. She's not okay, he's not okay, she's not okay, he's not okay, he's not okay, he's not okay, compared to all these people I'm a good man.
If I do not make any judgments about any of these people, then there is no basis for me to call myself a good man or a bad man. The more good you think you are, the more you will find, nobody is okay. Have you noticed this? People who think they are very good, in their eyes nobody is okay. If nobody is okay, it's not a question of virtue, it is a question of madness. The first sign of psychological disorder is you start thinking nobody is okay. Do you know this? Even medically, the first sign of psychological disorder, you start thinking nobody is okay. Some American author said this, I forget his name. He said, 'Everybody in this world is queer except you and me. You also seem to be little queer.' (Laughter). So nobody is okay, except you. If nobody is okay it is a clear case of madness, it is not a question of morality or virtue.
So virtue is not about practicing a certain morality; the greatest virtue is that you are in tune with life, you have become life. Am I not life? No. You become too much mind, you become too much emotion, you are not life. And when I say you become too much mind, the content of your mind is not yours. If you carefully watch your mind you will see your father is sitting here, your mother is sitting there, your teacher here, your friend somewhere else, your enemy somewhere else, just a whole crowd of people sitting inside and doing crazy things. Yes? When such a crowd of people are there, there is no question of consciousness. A crowd cannot be conscious.
Only an individual human being can be conscious. If you carry a crowd of people in your head, the chances of you being conscious are super remote. So the whole process, the spiritual process is about shifting from being a mental activity to being a life process. Are you alive with a mind? Are you a mind with life attached? Let's decide this. Ah? Are you a life with some mental capabilities or are you a mind with a little bit of life attached? You're a life, isn't it? A very enthusiastic biology teacher saw a very unenthusiastic classroom full of children, so he wanted to do something.
So he went stood on his head in the class on top of the table. And, he stood there like this on top of his head, and children got interested and they were all looking. Then he said, staying on his head, 'Can you see my face is getting all red?' They said, 'Yes.' Then he got off and then he said, 'See, when I stand on my head, my… all the blood moves into my head region and my face gets red. But when I stand on my feet it does not happen, why?' Why… one little boy stood up and said, 'Because feet ain't empty.' (Laughter) If you perceive things wrongly, upside down, you could be in deep trouble. I want you to understand, life can get poisoned simply because you have a wrong thought or a wrong emotion or a wrong idea or a wrong philosophy for yourself. So how do you know a particular thought is wrong or right? How do you know a particular philosophy is wrong or right? You do not know. The only way to find out whether something is poisonous enough or not is to drink it and see, after that we will know, you will not know.
(Laughter) Yes, we will know it works, you will not know. So what works and what doesn't work, if you find out like this it's going to be very expensive. The best thing is to allow the intelligence of the life to function, not taking inputs from too many people and too many things. This life is it a complete life by itself? Or is it a half a life? What do you think? Ah? Is it a complete life? Is it a complete life? Yes. But all the priests, pundits, teachers believe it is not a complete life. They think they have to fix you. The moment a child is born, everybody is trying to tell him what is good and what is bad because somewhere they believe, essentially all children are born bad or they believe Creator has made a mistake and they're gonna fix it. You think Crearor Creator has made a mistake with you? You think Creator has made a mistake with you and you need to fix it? No.
You just have to become the way he intended, that's all. If you allow this life to function just the way he intended, everything is fine with this. Now you've gotten twisted out, as your society expects you or your own some stupid philosophy that you gathered from somebody. Just to throb here as life Oh is it enough if am just here as life? I may become immoral, I may kill this person, I may rob this person I may ha… do harm to this person. Yes, if you sit here just as a body it is very much possible. The moment you get hungry you may pounce on the person next to you and start eating him or her. Possible, if you sit here just as a body, it is possible. If you sit here just as a mind it is very much possible depending upon what kind of content you have taken into your mind, accordingly you may do so many things.
But if you sit here and reverberate as just life, the question of harming another life will never occur to you. Nobody has to tell you, do not harm, do not do this, do not do that. Only if you're here as a body or as a mind, then somebody has to tell you don't pounce on somebody. If you're here as a piece of life, if you throb as life, you will see you will not need any morality, you will not need any teaching, you will not any need virtues, input into you… input into you.
If you sit here, you're perfectly fine. What this life has to do, you will anyway do, what it… should not do, you will anyway not do. And if you reverberate this …as a piece of life, you will clearly know that your life is not individual. It is connected with everything in the universe. There is no way you can miss that point. Only if you're too engaged in your head or too involved in your body you will be a separate happening. If your involvement is with the life process, not with the physical process, not with the psychological process, if you're not identified too much with the physical process and the psychological process, if you're simply sitting here as a life process, you cannot miss the point that there are no borders for your life process.
It is happening from everywhere..

Unless the film genre is comedy, supplying an A-list cast with B-grade props will do two things: get laughs in all the wrong places, and derail the story. So while the heat is on for actors to bring emotion and realism to their respective roles, behind-the-scenes departments like wardrobe and props must level-up their games to make a film complete.
|"Thor: The Dark World" hits theaters November 8
"We had a team of people…working on the original 'Thor' props trying to give them a little more history," said Emmy-nominated props master Barry Gibbs. "This time they wanted to get some aging into [the props], and that isn't always as easy as putting a coat of paint over them. So a lot of the props have been remade from scratch and redesigned."
This is Gibbs' second stint as property master with Marvel Studios. His first go-around was 2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger," a period piece that called for reimagining life in the 1940s. The objective in terms of props focused heavily on WWII-era weaponry. In "Thor: The Dark World," much of the attention shifted to creating makeshift bladed weapons instead of high-powered artillery.
"We didn't want to have everyone with machine or laser guns because they would just kill our heroes," he revealed. "So we had to do a mix of weapons."
Many of the hybrids created were conceived through imagination and improvisation from recognizable weapons like Gatlin guns, Indian rampart guns and rocket launchers.
|Thor wields Mjolnir against a Kronan
"We took molds of certain weapons and then burned them to other shafts," explained Gibbs. "We made things…[so] someone could have an axe, a club, an axe and a dagger, a sword and a dagger, [or] a spear and a morning staff. We made things up as we went along, really."
Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, may not look like an intricate prop to fabricate, but multiple variations were crafted to find a delicate balance between aesthetics and durability.
"In all of our scenes, we have various qualities of [Thor's] hammer," he said. "[Some] are lightweight and soft. On other occasions it might call for a very soft or a very light one so that Thor can catch it, or throw it. So it needs to be more balanced."
Mjolnir's design also underwent a facelift.
|Director Alan Taylor on set of "Thor: The Dark World" with a Dark Elf wielding his weapon
"[In] the first movie it was quite plain and had a very simple leather handle," he said. "In ['Marvel's] The Avengers' it [was] a little bit more detailed, so they increased the size of the head and put more detail into the handle. In ['Thor: The Dark World'], we tried retaining the head size but we wanted to change the handle."
With items like swords, knives, and axes, a margin of error had to be factored into their production so they'd hold up during action sequences but still keep the cast safe if a mishap occurred.
"We try to do it in three versions," he elaborated. "There's the hero quality, which is normally done in steel. Then you machine the same blade in bamboo, which is good because it's lightweight and strong. And then we always take a mold and cast another, and they're done in either hard rubber or soft rubber. We try to make all of the blades so that they [can] bend."
To provide certain blades with the appearance of being larger or bulkier without adding additional size or weight, Gibbs had a trick up his sleeve.
"What we tried to do with a lot of these weapons, particularly for Sif and on Heimdall, [was] thicken the blade so it looks as if it's a lot heavier," he revealed.
Get your tickets now for Marvel's "Thor: The Dark World," only in theaters November 8, and for the latest on the Mighty Avenger's new big screen adventure keep your eyes on Marvel.com, like the official Thor Facebook page and follow @ThorMovies on Twitter!

He hasn't won since 2009 but trainer Paul Messara is confident Mic Mac can return to the winners circle in the Listed Civic Stakes (1350m) at Rosehill Gardens this Saturday.
The veteran sprinter returned to the races, after a twelve month layoff due to a fractured canon bone suffered in the 2012 Galaxy Stakes, in the Ortensia Stakes (1100m) in May before running on well after missing the start to finish fourth in the Listed June Stakes (1200m) at Randwick last month.
Messara said he was very happy with the condition of the seven-year-old gelding and believes he is close to the form that saw him compete at the highest level of racing.
"It has taken a little bit of time to get him back to full fitness but his next two starts should see him back to his old form," Messara told Radio Sports National.
"He is enjoying his work like a young horse out on the track, he is very energetic and although he is an older horse still has the spirit of a young animal."
The Scone-based trainer said he is taking it one step at a time with the son of Statue of Liberty but the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival is well and truly on the agenda.
"At the moment I'm just taking races as they come, I want to give him a little let-up and then maybe head down for the carnival in Melbourne over October and November," he said.
Mic Mac has been a consistent performer at Group level since his debut in 2008 and was a duel Group 2 winner in 2009, triumphing in the Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill and the Memsie Stakes (2009) at Caulfield before finishing third in both the 2010 Group 1 T.J. Smith (1200m) and Stradbroke Handicap (1400m).
He will need to be at his best on Saturday to defeat a strong Civic Stakes field that includes last-start-winner Said Com; progressive Gai Waterhouse gelding Under The Sun and classy three-year-old Dances on Stars.

Began this week needing to look-up epistemology. The Stanford online dictionary tells us it is "the study of knowledge and justified belief." Added to my ongoing confusion over the meaning of connectivism I did the weekly readings, studied most of the dailies, watched George's video introduction to the week and spent quite a bit of time beginning my second concept map (this time using the Brain). I didn't write anything – couldn't get my head around a useful theme.
Woke up this morning with a few ideas buzzing in my head. Does this mean I literally needed to sleep on it to make the connection? Perhaps connectivism is the process by which we collect all of the information from all of the sources bombarding us each day and then working out which bits we need and making some sense of it. One of the real advatntages of enrolling in a course like this is the "pressure" to reflect through things like this blog, the Moodle posts and reading the dailies. This reflection is critical to making the connections.
At times there are things we are not ready to hear (and which wish we could recall when we need to). Increasingly we forget as much as we remember – probably due to to information overload.
So what does that mean for us as teachers? Do we continue to filter this information for our students? or do we spend more time facilitating and "teaching" the skills of skimming, sorting, discerning and validating? These employability skills are potentially the best thing we can tache rather than increasingly ephemeral pieces of information
Then of course, in a quick read of yesterday's daily I see George telling us exactly the same thing "As we filter information. As we create content and engage with others. Traditionally, education has provided much of the filtering work for us through the bounded information structures provided by instructors/faculty"

This Colnago A1-R 105 Cyclo X Bike is no longer available although you may find similar or newer versions below:
The Colnago A1-R Cyclo X Bike consists of a butted aluminium frame and carbon blade forks, which offer a light and durable foundation for a quality cyclocross bike. Featuring high-quality, reliable components fitted to the lightweight aluminium frame, such as the Shimano 105 11-speed front and rear derailleurs, FSA Omega cyclocross-specific chainset, SRAM disc brakes, and a Colnago finishing kit. The Colnago A1-R Cyclo X Bike is ready for a season full of challenges.
Saldatura Smooth Welding: Technical, precise and smooth - the aesthetic and structural qualities are nothing short of beauty.
Carbon Blade Fork: Featuring carbon fibre fork blades, combined with a lightweight & durable aluminium steerer tube, and designed specifically for disc brakes; this fork significantly reduces road vibrations, provides stiff, reactive handling and distributes disc brake torque perfectly.
Headtube: Colnago's tapered headtube design is tailored to provide a stiff and solid front end, which contributes to handling precision, comfort and safety.
Bottom Bracket: The bottom bracket is press-fit installed directly into the frame. This system allows for the bottom bracket shell to be wider, consequently meaning the downtube design can differ; it has been made wider also, and significantly stiffer. This bottom bracket system is also simple to maintain and service.
Braking System: This frame features post mount brake mounts for fitting the disc brake calipers. This provides maximum brake caliper stability, which leads to increased power and shortened stopping distances, combined with ease of maintenance. The frame uses standard quick-release axles, which allow for easy wheel and tyre maintenance when the time comes.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Nicholas Wishek: Letter writer Thomas Fertal ["Martin stood his ground," Letters, May 21] exemplifies a serious problem we face in this country. Too many people rush to judgment before the facts are known. In writing about the Martin shooting in Florida, Fertal has obviously determined George Zimmerman's guilt. And, he may well be guilty. But to assume facts not in evidence, as Fertal does, undermines the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty. You would think that the example of the Duke Rape Case in 2006 would serve as a warning about the dangers of jumping to conclusions.
For example, Fertal has made several assumptions in his letter that have not been proven, all of which can be countered by those who side with Mr. Zimmerman. For starters, he says, "He [Zimmerman] also probably initiated contact with Martin." Maybe. Zimmerman, however, claims Martin came up to him and threw the first punch. Fertal then writes, "Martin, being only 17 years old, probably felt threatened by this larger and older adult." Again, possible, we don't know. Zimmerman, though, stands 5'9" while Martin was 6'2" or more. And certainly, all 17 year olds are not easily intimidated. There also is the phone record of Martin telling his girlfriend, "I'm not going to run."
Sad to say, Fertal was much less judgmental than some members of Congress who have called Zimmerman a murderer who shot Trevor Martin down like a dog, but no one should form any conclusions without hearing both sides of the story and examining all the evidence available. The goal should be justice for everyone.
FULLERTON, D.Q. Rosenow: Anyone lately emerged from coma or cave, if shown Thomas Fertal's version of the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman encounter, would see that event as "David vs. Goliath: The Sequel." The trouble is that Fertal casts Trayvon as David. Sorry, but facts are stubborn things. The Tale of the Tape shows Trayvon, at 6'2", towering over George at 5'8". Moreover, Trayvon ("being only 17 years old") had clinically and clearly attained physical maturity. While Mr. Fertal repeatedly cites George as "larger and older;" the former is patently and plainly untrue, and the latter (though accurate) was likely unknown to Trayvon, as the event transpired well after nightfall. Besides, a young man in his physical prime ought not be presumed to be intimidated by an opponent 10, 30, or 50 years his elder, unless they are about to debate, not tussle.
Let's argue the facts as they are, not as Fertal's flair for fantasy would wish them to be.
Corn-syrup controversy
MISSION VIEJO, Stephen Moran: Dr. Henry I Miller's defense of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and his characterizing HFCS as purely fungible with, and chemically equivalent to, other sugars neglects the linkage of HFCS to diabetes ["Don't sour on idea of 'corn sugar' Orange Grove, May 23].
In a 2007 study by the American Chemical Society, researchers found evidence that HFCS contained high amounts of reactive compounds that could cause diabetes. The researchers also discovered a link between those who drink HFCS-sweetened soda and increased risk of diabetes. Dr. Miller, in damning lawyers, also neglects to provide the true meaning of his quote from Shakespeare: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
Dr. Miller takes this quote entirely out of context. The truth is, that Dick the Butcher, who uttered that line in King Henry VI, Part 2, Act 4, Scene 2, sought to overthrow legitimate government so that tyranny might reign. In order to accomplish that end, he urged that "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Jack Cade, the character who readily agrees with the Butcher's idea, is a revolutionary and megalomaniac who plans, after killing off the lawyers, to kill off everyone else who can read and write, hoping to then serve an absolute ruler, and to create a world in which people depend on the state for economic existence, dress alike, and say and think the same things.
In closing, I offer another Shakespearean quote: In Hamlet, Act 5, scene 1, the Queen scatters flowers uttering "Sweets to the sweet, farewell!" She is not offering candy to her listener. Rather, the Queen's "sweets" are funeral bouquets scattered in the grave of Ophelia, Hamlet's former love. In the case of HFCS, "Sweets to the sweet" may in fact result in funeral bouquets for deaths by diabetes. All sweets are not the same.
Gay marriage: people care
COSTA MESA, Terry Rather: Letter-writer, Hugh McGlynn said in his article, "Hype over minor issues," that Google states the gay and lesbian population affects only 1.7 percent of our population, and we first must address the needs of the 98.3 percent of this nation that have really critical problems that need to be solved. In actuality, the issue is that Google also reports that 37 percent of voters believe in gay relationships. That percentage, added to those that will vote for Obama regardless if they believe in what he stands for, now makes a majority. Interesting how numbers can often be misleading.

Wonderful Album
(4 out of 5 stars)
"A true classic from an Australian legend. He has managed to regin for over three decades now and this was one of his finest pieces of work. His voice is amazing and the album itself is close to flawless I'd recommend it for anyone who is a John Farnham fan or if you're curious about the man this album will win you over."
The album that made Farnham standout
Petar Vodogaz | Sydney, NSW Australia | 02/17/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"As an Australian I am proud to see a fellow Aussie singer attain stardom and John Farnham is well deserving of praise for in his music career he has achieved so much. I have had the opportunity to see him live in concert here in Sydney and was thunderstruck by the level of feeling and emotion he sung each song. He is a real star on the stage.
Age of Reason, is my favourite album from John Farnham and I have been a avid listener and collector of his music from my teen years. Many of my favourite songs and well known songs are on this album release. The CD starts with an outstanding opening song called 'Age of Reason' (a song which should be heard by soldiers before they go fighting...maybe teach them the futility of war)and ends with 'When The War is Over'. The theme of this album is simply the futility of hate. Farnham puts his message across well and not in a political way like the Oils did.
Great songs, great artist and perfect album."

Exhibit B: so stinking sweet
I mean, I knew how it would be, so I'm not complaining exactly. Maybe lament? Lament is fair, I think.
It just kind of hit me strangely as I was pushing Iris around the block on her scooter, Ollie asleep in his carrier, knowing that with Easter coming up I have a whole string of very long days ahead on the parenting front. Three years is a long time not to finish a project. And I have large chunks of two different books written, so I do actually write. I just can't sustain anything. Because: colds, babies, laundry, dishes, teething, deprivations both mental and physical.
This was the right time for our kids, and nobody is making me stay home. But life is rarely as black or white as all that.
Sometimes I wonder if I don't finish things for psychological reasons.
You know, like I'm afraid of failure or afraid of success or afraid of whatever sounds most legit at the time. Pondering my mental health is always a good time, but I don't really think that has much to do with it.
Or maybe it's just that writing is hard. Although writing was always hard. And I still finished things before.
Maybe it is kids.
It's hard to know what to fix sometimes. It's hard to weigh my kids' inevitable freak out if I leave the house with my own inevitable freak out if I don't. Sometimes it all just feels like a lot of freaking out.
A lot of it is not having external deadlines.
On the plus side, it's given the stories an unusually long time to percolate. And I realized today, somewhere around the block with Iris waving hello to every fire hydrant, that on some deeper, unplanned level one of the stories is about purpose and the other is about happiness, and sometimes my switching between them has nothing to do with unconscious fears of failure and everything to do with the ideas churning up at the time in my own life.
Two of my brothers are writing a collaborative book of essays about our childhood vacations at Disney World, and last week Joel emailed me his latest piece on aesthetic appropriation. You know. The way Disney mimics and recreates other places, and the way we as kids mimicked and recreated Disney in our own stories and ideas about travel and culture. It was an insightful, fun read, but while aesthetic appropriation is obviously huge in anyone's creativity, I think emotional appropriation is the bigger playground for me.
There is nothing autobiographical about any of my plots, unless you count "and then she grew up" as plot, but the emotional lives of my characters are always very vivid and familiar to me… although, of course, I have varying success getting that on the page. And I think this is why it's been hard for me to finish anything lately. The equation of very limited time with having two books with such enormous topics—it's like every day I pull up the lobster trap of my daily experience to see if I've got anything useful for either of my works-in-progress, and let me tell you, that is a killer slow way to finish a book.
Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it really isn't anything more profound than the fact that it's really hard to write with a baby giggling and farting and fussing on your lap.
I feel like that's probably fair too.

SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ -- On Monday, Oct. 23 at 7:00 p.m., Jessica Cooperman, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Director of Jewish Studies at Muhlenberg College, will discuss an unintentional consequence of involvement in World War I -- American religious pluralism and the depiction of Judaism and Catholicism as equal partners to Protestantism in the "three faiths of American democracy."
The American government entered World War I confident in the knowledge that the United States was a predominately Protestant country,albeit one which extended religious tolerance to other faiths. By the
end of the war, however, the U.S. military and War Department increasingly depicted Judaism and Catholicism as equal partners to Protestantism in the "three faiths of American democracy."
World War I marked a period of critical, although not always intentional, transformations in the ways that American religion was defined and supported by the policies and practices of the government. This talk will explore how these changes came about: who advocated for them? And how was it that Americans gradually began to think of themselves as part of a "Judeo-Christian" country that included Protestants, Catholics, and Jews?
World War I and America is a two-year initiative of Library of America presented in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the National World War I Museum and Memorial, and other organizations, with generous support from The National Endowment for the Humanities.

Tags: Cleanser, Manuka Doctor, Night Cream, Toner
My gosh this post is long overdue. I reviewed the amazing ApiNourish Rejuvenating Face Mask and the Repairing Skin Cream last year here and some time after I received a few more products to try out.
The ApiNourish Hydrating Facial Cleanser and the Apiclear Purifying Facial Toner.
And the ApiNourish Restoring Night Cream, please ignore the smashed lid, it arrived with me that way!
As we all know by now, I suffered a great skincare disaster in the last year so I stopped chopping and changing my skincare items and stuck to a prescribed regime by Murad, but before that I gave these a fairly good run. Now because of the spots I'd been suffering its hard to review these but I must stress that I firmly believe the spots are all part of my hormonal issues and nothing to do with the products! So as it is, I'm just going to give you a quick run down of these products.
First, ApiNourish Hydrating Facial Cleanser (£19.99 for 100ml). A beautiful face wash which really feels like it's deep cleansing without stripping the skin at all. Simple to use, massage in and rinse away (with a cloth preferably). Lovely cleanser, not cheap but great quality.
Secondly, the ApiClear Purifying Facial Toner (£17.99 for 150ml). So I've talked about the ApiNourish range on my other post, but the ApiClear Range is the range for troubled skin. Which means in theory this is ideal for my spot prone hormonal skin. Unfortunately I used this for a while and whilst I had no issues, circumstances meant I stopped using it to switch to my Murad prescription. This though is a revitalising toner, I think it's the bees venom that gives the tingling feeling (don't use obviously if allergic to bee stings!) and although you might think the opposite, its the bee venom that assists in calming and controlling troubled skins.
Finally the ApiNourish Restoring Night Cream (£24.99 for 50ml). A beautiful rich night cream that replenishes and hydrates.
The range is really lovely, everything is quality and the sole reason I am not currently using these products any more is that I needed something specifically geared towards my hormonal acne issues that was also geared towards ageing skin. Still for anyone not having the same issues as me, I'd recommend this brand with no qualms at all.
You can purchase the whole range from www.manukadoctor.co.uk along with reading all about the benefits of Purified Bee Venom.

Azadeh was robbed on the street in broad daylight, and her bag was stolen. But when it happened a second time, she was able to defend herself, using skills she'd learned at the Iran International Martial Arts School.
The school trains men and women of all ages to defend themselves and others against street attacks. The equipment is quite modest, but the results have been impressive.
"Young women need to possesses the skills of martial arts, self defense, especially now when there are so many robbers and aggressive people on the streets. And by learning self defense skills, young women can feel safe", Azadeh says.
The school is the first of its kind in Iran, and it is continually growing in popularity.
"In our teaching we use techniques and principles of self defense from the Far East -- kung fu, taekwondo and karate - we teach civilians to protect themselves", school director Ali Bab Al-hawa'iji says.

It's the tenth birthday of this blog! And I'm celebrating it not with an INDog post, but with this photo- essay about another breed of landrace dog far, far away: the Greenland Dog!
We met Greenland Dogs and other gorgeous 'Polar' dogs in Svalbard this summer when we finally went on an Arctic trip - something we've been wanting to do for years!
Before embarking on a seven day cruise-expedition to North Spitsbergen, we spent a couple of days in Longyearbyen, the administrative centre of the Svalbard Archipelago.
At 78 degrees latitude this is the northernmost human settlement on the planet. It's actually a charming little town in an odd way, despite its somewhat bleak industrial appearance.
For instance, you see signs like this:
And sled dogs all over the place! Some have signs pasted on their kennels requesting people not to touch them (because a lot of people actually do silly things like trying to pet every dog they see). There are photos of some of these dogs at the end of this post.
Our own sled dog experience had been booked months in advance, with a family-run company called Green Dog. I was as excited about finally meeting sled dogs as I was about seeing polar bears, walruses and auks. All so exotic to someone from the tropics!
We reached Longyearbyen at around 1.00 p.m. after a long flight north from Oslo. A couple of hours later our guide from Green Dog came to pick us up from the hotel and drive us to the dog kennels along with five other visitors.
In June they use a special kind of dog cart and not sleds with blades, since there isn't a lot of snow on the ground at this season.
The dogs here, generally described as 'polar dogs', are actually of different breeds and mixes between those breeds. Some are Greenland Dogs, an aboriginal breed genetically identical to the Inuit Dog.* They are quite large robust dogs with broad skulls. Others are Alaskan Huskies, mix breeds of no rigidly defined type: they are selected strictly for performance as sled dogs, and mostly have a slender build and narrower heads than the Greenland Dogs.
|At the dog kennels

|Greenland Dog mother and pup, keenly watching us
|The Greenland Dog pup is taken out for cuddles!
|This Alaskan Malamute doesn't belong to Green Dog; he is a pet and was just visiting with his owner
|An Alaskan Husky
We spent some time meeting the dogs (and playing with puppies - there were several!) All the dogs were extremely friendly and looked very healthy. And they were all just raring to go!
Then we went to the changing room to put on the company's special thick overalls, boots and gloves, to protect us from the icy wind. The actual temperature there was around 2 degrees Celsius, but the wind chill factor made the effective temperature lower.
The dogs were harnessed in teams of eight, with us guests helping to hold them.
The leading cart was driven by one of our two guides, Jimmy. Our cart was right behind it, driven by Kiran: his first and possibly only experience of driving a dog team! A third cart was behind us.
This is Kiran with our lead dogs, Willow and Chilli.
Willow was quite a handful at first, he was so excited to be out and running! But he calmed down after a bit of energy had been worked off, and after Jimmy had turned back a few times to make sure he stayed on course.
These photos take me back there! We loved the austere beauty of this treeless landscape. It was hard to select just a few pictures, so be warned, there are LOTS!
|We took frequent breaks for the dogs to splash in the water and drink. Our guide told us polar dogs are most comfortable at -20 degrees C, so 2 degrees is rather warm for them!
|Water break!

'Ek Doctor Ki Maut' (means 'Death of a Doctor' in English) is a 1990 National award winning film by noted Bengali director Tapan Sinha, which depicts the ostracism bureaucratic negligence, reprimand and insult of a doctor and his research, instead of recognition. The film is based on a story "Abhimanyu" by Ramapada Choudhury. This movie is loosely based on the life of Dr. Subhash Mukhopadhyay, an Indian Physician who pioneered the IVF treatment just around the same time when another leading scientist Dr. Robert Edwards was conducting separate experiments in England.
