Knowing there's a world of wisdom in the minds of veteran business owners, local women in business were asked over Facebook what's the best lesson they've learned.
Here's what they said:
Mikki Clark Ashe countered that she was retired, but shared her thoughts:
"I think treating people with respect is one of the best lessons we can learn that will serve us well, in business as well as life in general. From bosses to peers, to subordinates, to customers, to family members.
"Be polite and respectful, even if you disagree with their opinions."
Business consultant Lon Halley responded, knowing that he didn't quite fit the gender profile, but brought up a good point:
"Just attended the Women in Business Conference regarding social media. What I learned — "Know, Like, Trust." Build relationships. This is where women excel. Now I'm going back to my gender zone where I feel more comfortable."
Local mortgage expert Connie Wright of Wright Mortgage Co. said, "Take a class. Human relations in an organization, and a leadership class at Butte College."
Wright said she graduated in May after 41 years with an associate of science in real state.
"Wished I had it years before," she quipped.
Interior designer Stacey Gibson of ChicoHomeStaging.com wrote, "The most important lesson is being consistent, be honest, do my best and release the outcome!"
Business consultant Margaret Pina Schmidt suggested, "Look for a seasoned mentor."
Dori Moura, who handles marketing for Feather Falls Casino and Brewing Co. in Oroville, offered, "Be flexible. Listen to your customers, let your plans change and your ideas evolve."
Audrey Taylor of Chabin Concepts, also a business consultant, writes, "Trust your instincts, surround yourself with talented people, and respect their contributions."
Jessica Wood Cummings of Digital Print and Design took a different tact.
"It's okay to have a soft side, be authentic and genuine, and it is okay to fire customers."
Rejecting customers seems like suicide in business, but Cummings was quick to explain.
"Not everyone is a perfect fit in business. After 17 years, I've learned the type of customer that's a good one for us and it's good for them."
Cummings pointed out that expectations — on both sides of the counter — might be different, and that another business might perform differently, filling the void. It could be a larger one that can get the job done quicker, or offer more bells and whistles or …
"As women, we all want to be liked. We worry about being liked, instead of running the business."
Sometimes that customer, who may not really be difficult but seems that way, will be happier in the long run, and a business owner might be too.
Money isn't always the goal, she noted.
Retired accountant Annette Lilly Russ weighed in: "It doesn't matter what business you are in, the most important task is to respectfully provide your customers with the resources and support required to meet their individual needs and then tell them thank you."
Shelly Blanshei of Teaz Me Tea Bar and Asian Cafe wrote, "The most important aspect of any business is the experience that you create for your guest. At the end of the day, people will remember how you made them feel over anything else.
"It can also be said that the same goes for your staff and how you make them feel. Service your guests and your staff with 'service from the heart' and being in business will be a very rewarding and wonderful experience because you will be creating a family rather than a customer base."

Title: Numbers Game
Series: Hollywood, Bk 5
Author: Tibby Armstrong
Narrator: Noah Michael Levine
Publisher: Self Published
Cover Artist: Unknown
Story Rating: 3.0 of 5 Stars
Narration Rating: 4.5 of 5 Stars
Overall Rating: 3.75 of 5 Stars
Release Date: 07/07/2016
Length: 03 hours 11 minutes
Genre: BDSM, Contemporary, Gay Romance
ven after the "I do's" are said, relationships change and need work to grow and thrive. Aaron has found himself increasingly drawn to the idea of taking his and Greg's BDSM-lite games to the next level. Unsure if he can fully unleash his inner sadist without losing complete control, he seeks out a professional Dom to teach him the literal, and figurative, ropes.
Greg isn't the same intractable, walking wounded he was when he and Aaron met, but Aaron is still his touchstone to happiness. Greg would like to learn how to approach Aaron's Zen-like calm, but first he knows he needs to learn the most elusive lesson of all: self love. When he discovers what Aaron has been up to, he struggles to understand how he fits into his lover's new version of himself.
In Numbers Game, together, Aaron and Greg embark on a sensual journey that, over a few short hours, will change the course of their relationship and their lives. In the end, they prove that through love, and a little dance called dominance and submission, even the most impossible things become possible.
Story Review:
Caroline reviewed the eBook here.
I didn't love the book as much as Caroline did but that has more to do with my dislike of BDSM stories.
Throughout the series Greg and Aaron have had a BDSM-lite relationship that I found interesting and hot. But the step into the official world of BDSM just didn't work for me.
The way Greg and Aaron played mind games and manipulated each other didn't sit right with me. I don't think games and manipulation have any place in a loving, honest relationship.
I do wish the book had been longer so I could've seen more of how Greg and Aaron deal with their relationship.
If you've read the rest of the series and enjoy BDSM I'd recommend this book. However, if BDSM isn't your thing I'd stay away.
Narration Review:
Noah Michael Levine did excellent here just like he did with the rest of the Hollywood series. His deep voice was perfect for the darker tone of the story.

last card for today again comes from Glenn (well, we began the update with a card from him, so let's end it in the same manner =))
this amazing view comes from the Canadian Malcolm Island (Northern Vancouver Island), and if you take a better look, you will see the Pulteney Point Lighthouse.
Pulteney Point marks the separation of Broughton and Queen Charlotte Straits. The island and point were named in 1846 by Commander George T. Gorden of the HMS Comorant after Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, a Scottish born British Naval Officer.
Kwakiutl legend tells that their ancestors watched the island rise up out of the water and that someday it would return to its watery grave. For this reason, while the Kwakiutl used the cedar from the island for masks and totem poles, they never inhabited it.
The Pulteney Point Lighthouse, a square, wooden building with a square lantern rising from the center of its roof, exhibited a light at a height of thirty-eight feet above high water. The fixed white seventh-order dioptric light was lit for the first time on September 12, 1905.
There is a really nice and interesting but rather long story behind this lighthouse, so if you want to read the rest of it, just click here
Glenn used some really awesome stamps! Just wondering...when did the Canadian post stop printing the year of issue on the stamp itself? Makes it harder to track them down, but I was lucky this time, cos it turns out they were issued in 2013 and that is the first year I checked :)
and they come from a mini sheet of four stamps, representing Canadian Recording Artists. So cool! Love them!!
Thanks so much again Glenn!
And thank you all for reading! Curious which is that other new country? Well stay tuned and keep following the posts here...and I promise I won't take too long to kill the suspension =)
wishing you all a nice week ahead!

It's hard to come up with the right words to describe my experience in Vegas this past week. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to go and learn from the best of the best at the TpT Conference 2015. After attending last year, I wondered how they could possibly make this year better and without a doubt they most certainly did! Every last moment of this conference was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
I started out the week hosting a sensational pool party with the beautiful Lindsey Petlak from It's Elementary, My Dear. I loved working with her and planning this exciting event. Everything turned out fabulous and I think all of our guests really enjoyed themselves while basking in the Vegas sunshine! It was so fun to get to know so many great teachers while we sipped on drinks and laid out!
Wednesday evening we attended the Blogger Meet-up which was hosted by the Blog Hoppin' girls! It was fun to mingle and chat with new friends from all over the globe! Of course the night didn't end there, we took a walk to Margaritaville and had some more dinner and drinks.
Thursday and Friday was filled with training, training and more training. I didn't think I could learn so many new things from Erin Cobb's class on becoming a Teacherpreneaur to Mel D's Advanced Pinterest tips! I think one of my favorite classes was taught by an employee of Facebook who came and talked to us small business owners on how we can take our Facebook account to the next level with advertising! I LOVED this because of course I LOVE FACEBOOK!
The nights that followed the classes were fun of course. We enjoyed a little Buddy V's Italian food and Serendipity's Frozen Hot Chocolate! I'm still salivating over here thinking about all the amazing food and treats we had!
After having time to really think about what I came away with from this conference, I chose the one thing that I loved most, it was spending time with amazing people! I was able to to finally meet my teacher twin Tami from O-H So Blessed and be her roommate for the week! We have so much in common and I loved hearing about her life in Ohio! I can't wait till we get another opportunity to see each other again. In addition to meeting Tami, I was able to build friendships with my fellow AZ bloggers. I love my group of bloggers from Arizona that I get to collaborate often with! They are such a great group of women and I'm blessed to live and work nearby each of them.
In closing, I want to express how grateful I am for TpT. With TpT I get to share my creativity with other teachers all over the world and get to learn from the most amazing teacher authors at the same time. We truly are blessed to be part of such a fabulous adventure!

Thank you so much for your understanding. We were, indeed, very disappointed about it.ReplyDelete

What company do you plan to contract the extravaganza with next year?ReplyDelete
Can the Beatles perform again next year? They exceeded all expectations!
Hi Anonymous!ReplyDelete
Since we're still working out all of the details from this year, we have not yet begun to plan the festivities for next year! Rest assured, we will indeed have fireworks next year as our unique fireworks are one of our biggest events!
Glad you enjoyed the Beatles! We've gotten a lot of wonderful feedback about them that we promise to keep in mind when scheduling our 2011 fireworks event!

Lagrimas - Poem by John Hay
God send me tears!
Loose the fierce band that binds my tired brain,
Give me the melting heart of other years,
And let me weep again!
Before me pass
The shapes of things inexorably true.
Gone is the sparkle of transforming dew
From every blade of grass.
In life's high noon
Aimless I stand, my promised task undone,
And raise my hot eyes to the angry sun
That will go down too soon.
Turned into gall
Are the sweet joys of childhood's sunny reign;
And memory is a torture, love a chain
That binds my life in thrall.
And childhood's pain
Could to me now the purest rapture yield;
I pray for tears as in his parching field
The husbandman for rain.
We pray in vain!
The sullen sky flings down its blaze of brass;
The joys of love all scorched and withering pass;
I shall not weep again.

The horses, I rode Annie and my daughter rode Forest Gump, were awesome. We could tell how well taken care of they are. Happy and healthy.
We can't wait to come back and we will be bringing more family with us.
Thank you for such a wonderful time.
When our son and his family visited us from Baltimore over Thanksgiving,we were looking for an activity which would allow us to do something special in the warm Florida weather.....I made a quick phone call to Cactus Jacks and by that afternoon we were riding. Our group included 2 of us in our 70's with riding experience, our son and his wife with little experience, and an 11- and 14-year old who had never been on a horse before. We were so impressed with the careful insight that the owners displayed in choosing just the right horse for each of us. The kids loved every minute of the ride and our daughter- in-law overcame her fears to say the ride was completely enjoyable. And WE (the old folks) did not have a single ache or pain the next day!!!! We will definitely ride again with Jamie and his group. Don't miss this great stable and interesting folks!!!!

Every year, hundreds of US patients go to Sam Dental in Tijuana to get dental implants. These are titanium metal posts, which are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gums, and make the best solution for tooth replacement. Whether you're missing a tooth as a result of tooth decay or your teeth fell off due to trauma, dental implants, which provide the most hygienic dental condition, are the ideal permanent solutions to a lost tooth. Significantly stronger, Mexico Dental implants are also used as a more stable alternative in supporting artificial teeth. Bridges and dentures mounted on implants won't easily shift or slip from your mouth which is extremely beneficial when speaking in front of people and even when eating. The secure fit helps artificial teeth feel and look more natural.
The cost of dental implants in the United States can easily go up to as much as $5,000 including abutment and crown. Here at Sam Dental Tijuana dental clinic, we only charge a fraction of that cost. Cash price is $1,300 per tooth and this includes implant, abutment placement, and porcelain pfm crown
Committed to making all our customers happy and with the goal to promote repeat business, we treat each customer with utmost professionalism and respect, for which SAM's Dental clinic is known for. We take the time to explain the procedure in detail and we are always available for questions. Together, we will make this a great experience for you.
Why Choose Sam Dental for your Dental Implants
The success of dental implants will largely depend on credential, expertise, and experience of your chosen dentist. Here in Tijuana, there are hundreds of dentists who are performing this procedure without formal training and needed certification. When looking for the best dentist for your implants, keep in mind that short course on implant placement isn't enough. At Sam Dental, we ensure that only top dental implant specialist perform this delicate procedure. Our implant specialists are among the most competent and highly skilled in this industry. With 97% success rate, you can be assured that you're in good hands with us. You'll also be happy to know that we offer lifetime guarantee on dental implants.
Warning on some misleading advertisements
Have you seen advertisements from US dentists offering dental implants for about $1,000? Then, beware! Due to high taxes and huge rental fees in the United States, it is close to impossible for these doctors to offer the procedure for such price. These misleading advertisements are designed to bait the patients by giving them huge discount BUT only on phase one. Patients are then informed to pay additional $3,000 once they come back for the abutment and crown. Also, most dentists who resort to this type of advertisement use implants that are off brands and which are mostly manufactured in China. As other dentists do not carry such brands, patients are forced to go back to the original dentists to get the procedure completed. There were times some patients called us for abutments and crowns but we were not able to help simply because we cannot find the brand that they require. Don't let this happen to you. Get the procedure right the first time by making Sam Dental your partner from start to finish.
Warning on some misleading advertisements
Are you thinking about getting Mexico Dental Implants? Then, it would help for you to understand the procedure. The more you know about it, the more confident you'll become. Keep in mind that unlike regular cosmetic dentistry, implants are something that cannot be completed in one day or even in a week. Factors that affect the length of time for the procedure involve your dental health, which teeth are replaced, the number of teeth that needs replacement, and if there will be a tooth extraction prior to implant placement.
1. Getting Dental implants Mexico is a major decision that is why, here at Sam Dental we offer free consultation during your first visit. Our highly competent DDS will perform oral examination, which may include necessary x-ray. One of our dentists will review your condition and determine if you're eligible for the procedure. To be a good candidate, you must have good bone density and your jawbone has to be in good shape. Bone augmentation maybe required if you don't have enough bone to support and hold the implant. Also, the dentist will ensure that the supporting tissues and natural teeth near where the implant will be placedare in good health.
From here, you will be presented with different treatment options including getting dental implants. You will be given a cost estimate and you will be encouraged to ask questions to fully understand the procedure. This consultation is being carried out so we can get an in-depth understanding of the diagnosis and treatment plans. Our aim is to provide you with complete information so you can make well-informed, wise decision pertaining to your oral health. Should you wish to proceed with the procedure and if you're a good candidate, our dentist can start the treatment the same day.
2. As dental implant procedure is considered a surgery, discomfort can be expected throughout the one-hour procedure, which will start with pre-drilling a hole into your jawbone where the dental implant will be screwed in. This titanium implant is coated with hydroxylapatite, which is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium found in teeth and bones within the human body. This mineral helps the bone to grow around and bond to the dental implant thoroughly. Using a special machine, the Tijuana dentist opens up the gum and removes the bone where the implant will be inserted. Once done, the gum is closed using dissoluble sutures. Your Mexican dentist in Tijuana will then ask you to wait for about 3 months for the bone to heal and grow to implant. Although it takes time, these type of implants, unlike those mini implants, will last for the rest of your life.
3. You will be asked by your Tijuana dentist to come back after 3-4 months depending on how fast your bone is healing for the attachment of abutment and crown. Typically, this requires two visits but on some cases, arrangements can be done so the two procedures are completed the same day. The dentist will first drill into the titanium implant to attach the abutment. Then, he will send his impressions out to the lab where the crown will be prepared. This can be put on the very next day or in some cases, where arrangements were made, this can be completed the same day.
Several people in the United States are looking forward to getting implants as permanent tooth loss solution but many of them cannot afford it. Costing about $4,800 per implant, which is typically not covered by insurance, this amount can be too much for a lot of people. If you're one of them, dental tourism is your best option. Here at Sam Dental Clinic, we offer you the same quality of service for a fraction of the cost. The cost of dental implants Mexico is just $1,300 and this already includes abutment and crown. With this huge savings, I am sure you'll agree with me when I say that getting cosmetic dentistry or any dental work in Tijuana, Mexico, which is just an hour away from San Diego, California, is worth it. So, don't wait. Come on down and visit us at Sam Dental so we can start working on putting your great smile back again.
Dental Implants are safe, effective, and common dental treatment
Dental implant surgery is a safe and common dental procedure that replaces tooth roots with screw-like metal posts with the aim to replace missing or damaged teeth with artificial teeth that function and look like real ones. Also this is considered more invasive when compared to getting bridges and dentures, this dental treatment is very common and extremely effective solution to tooth loss. If you have heard about this before, know that since 1950, several research have been conducted to prove that metal titanium can be used to form a very strong bond to surrounding bone. After years of tests and more research, dental implants procedures all over the world were refined and registered high success rate. Proofs are the first patients who have taken advantage of this ground-breaking procedure 25 years ago. Until this day, they have implant supported teeth that allow them to restore their great smile and boost their confidence when socializing with other people.
Dental Implants in Mexico
People lose their teeth for many different reasons. While others suffer from tooth loss due to poor oral hygiene, others find themselves missing teeth due to trauma or injury. Before dental implants were introduced, people who have this problem resorted to getting bridges and dentures. Although this provides a temporary solution to the problem, dentures and bridges can be uncomfortable at times as they don't function and look like real teeth. Dental implants in Mexico, on the other hand, are stronger and more stable. As they function like real teeth, they do not interfere with speaking, eating, smiling, and other activities of everyday life. Also, dental implants are built to last so if you're looking for a long-term tooth loss solution, these are your best option.
However, getting dental implants in the United States can cost an arm and leg. US dentists typically charge $4,800 for each implant. For this reason, more and more Americans are turning to Mexico for inexpensive yet high quality dental care. Low price isn't the only reason why more and more Americans go to Mexico for dental implants every year – it's also because dentists in Tijuana are highly skilled and extremely competent. Take our resident dentist for example. Dr Arnulfo Vazquez has an MD in oral Medicine. A certified DDS, he boasts years of training in the United States including bone grafting training at UCLA. He has 97% success rate and he is a board certified specialists in implants so you've got nothing to worry about when you decide to make us your partner in getting your dental implants.
Dental Implants – Advantages
Do you ever wonder why dental implants are often the first choice in restoring missing or damaged teeth? Then, let's explore the advantages they offer, shall we?
Protects your healthy teeth. Dental implants doesn't work the same was as tooth-support bridge where grinding the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth is required. As dental implants directly go to the jawbone, they are not attached and are not supported by other teeth.
They look and feel natural –Unlike bridges and dentures, dental implants are stronger and more stable. Not only that, they also feel and look natural thus, giving you greater self-esteem. In addition, dental implant's secure fit ensures that your teeth will not slip within your mouth so you can say goodbye to slurred speech problem and pain-free chewing.
Dental implants are built to last – If you're looking for a long-term solution to your tooth loss problem, dental implants are your best options. Unlike with bridges that typically last for just 5-10 years, dental implants are made to last a lifetime as long as they are properly cared for over time.
Convenience. Unlike removable dentures, there is no need to take out dental implants when cleaning them. Also, as they are good as natural teeth, you don't need to use messy adhesives to ensure that they stay in place.
Are Dental Implants for Everyone?
Unfortunately, not everybody who is suffering from the pain and embarrassment of tooth loss is eligible to get dental implants. In order to qualify for this dental procedure, one must have healthy gums and enough bone mass needed to hold the implant. During your first visit at Sam Dental Clinic, one of our dentists will perform a thorough oral examination to ensure that you're an ideal candidate for a dental implant. Your Mexican dentist will evaluate you based on your lifestyle and health condition. He will check if you're a heavy smoker, if you suffer from uncontrolled chronic diseases, and if you have had radiation therapy to the neck and head area. If you're considering getting dental implants at Tijuana, Mexico, let one of our highly skilled dentists evaluate you on an individual basis for free. So, come on down and let's start working on putting back that great smile to your face.

Branding, google translate and (the lack of) institutionalized support were among many topics discussed during the annual Made in Poland conference. Exporters and experts debated on how to improve export figures, what mistakes Polish entrepreneurs are making when entering foreign
markets and the status of the Made in Poland brand
The annual Made in Poland conference was divided into two panels. During the first, hosted by WBJ Group editor-in-chief, Jacek Ciesnowski, panelists discussed the export potential of Polish companies. "We have products, but we need to boast about them. We need to go to international fairs, exhibitions, take part in governmental delegations," said Andrzej Czernek, vice president of the Polish Promotional Program Foundation "Teraz Polska," which promotes Polish products, both domestically and abroad. The subject of Made in Poland as a brand was heavily discussed. Should Polish companies use it to describe their products, or are they better off using the less precise Made in EU moniker? "We always present ourselves as a Polish company, wherever we go. I asked one of our clients from Algeria why he had chosen us. And he said that our country is synonymous with high quality," said Michał Wilczyński, sales manager at Nowy Styl Group, a furniture maker. Wilczyński added however, that they also have a different approach, they acquire local companies with a strong following and sell their products under that brand on local markets.
That trend, while still strong, is not as significant as in the past. "Some 15-20 years ago, Polish companies usually entered the German market by purchasing local companies. These days however, most SMEs enter the market using their own brands. The perception of Polish producers is getting better each year," explained Katarzyna Soszka-Ogrodnik, spokeswoman of the Polish-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, adding that Germany is often the first step for Polish firms abroad on their path to further foreign expansion.
Obviously, with so many different sectors, it's impossible to pick one good export strategy for everyone. "Our business is closely connected to politics, defense companies are tied to the activities of the country they come from. That's why we often use government delegations to promote our products," said Tomasz Badowski, spokesman at WB Group, a producer of military communication systems and drones. He added that what he would love to see more of is an active approach from the Polish government to promoting Polish products abroad, not only in terms of military merchandise. Marek Foryński, managing director of BTS Group at Panattoni Europe, spoke in a similar vein, saying that "The Made in Poland brand is not a strong one, not a successful one," advocating not only stronger, but more coordinated support from the government and many of its agencies and institutions, which could help in promoting Polish exports. "We all know that Polish apples are the best, because we were told that after the Russian embargo. But do we know that we're also a prominent exporters of cosmetics, shoes, yachts and other products?" Foryński added. As it turns out, for some companies, foreign markets are not only a priority, but the only source of income. "About 45 percent of companies present in technology parks are innovative, and many of them, as their first steps in business, sell their goods internationally, as domestically there is not a market for their products," said Marzena Mażewska, president of the Polish Business and Innovation Centers Association in Poland.
Attention to details
The second panel, moderated by managing editor of WBJ Group Beata Socha, concerned promoting Polish exports. One of the main conclusions from the discussion was the lack of resources spent on marketing, which is often crucial in getting a foothold abroad. "They often try to enter foreign markets without spending a dime. It's impossible to achieve success this way," claimed Nadia Bouacid, head of Business Development Unit at the French Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Poland. Other panelists offered some practical solutions: "Pay attention to details. We have only one product but seven different packages worldwide. Our customers in France have different priorities than German clients for example, so they need different packaging," explained Monika Żochowska, president of Phenicoptere. She also offered her opinion on the topic of government support, which was discussed in the first debate. "It's really crucial. We've been going to various fairs and exhibitions for three years, and when potential business partners see that we have serious backing from an institution such as the ministry of economy, they know we are reliable."
When the discussion switched to the subject of the internet and if it can be a powerful promotional tool or a determent, Tomasz Sobol, marketing director at Beyond.pl, suggested using it with caution. "You can spend money on marketing, but you need to know if it brings any effect. Your activities should be measurable. Use tools that can bring you desired effects. Social media are fine when it comes to B2C, but with B2B I'd use other services." "The internet is important, so is online marketing. But you will never stay away from old-school networking. You have to remember that it can vary from country to country, even in such culturally similar regions as the EU," added Aleksander Libera, advisor to the board for Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency. A common plea to everyone was not to use Google translate as a marketing tool, and not to rely exclusively on translators, but to use native speakers as well. Jacek Sosnowski, president of the Polish-Iranian Business Council, dampened exporter's enthusiasm a little bit. "We are one of many countries that export their products. We'll never be as strong as France in Iran, because Paris has a long-standing connection there, dating back hundreds of years. We won't be seen as pioneers of design like Italy is. In many aspects, we will never be seen as number one. We need to remember that Polish companies are very often subcontractors for other foreign firms and it can also be something to be proud of. We need to promote things that we are good at, our specialties, not necessarily the end product. "

Genesis is the first book of the Bible and also the first book of the Jewish Torah. It is also in the Muslim book of the Qur'an, Both Jews and Christian give credit to Moses as the author of Genesis. Moses was a Jew, raised in Ancient Egypt by the pharoah's daughter. The pharoah who rained in Egypt at the time probably was Ramesses II. Moses also wrote the next 4 books (Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deutteronomy) Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Moses compiled it probably during the Jewish tribes wandering in the wilderness (desert).
Many scholars since the 19th century do not think that Moses was the author of Genesis, but rather it was later, perhaps in 6th century B.C., was put together by anonymous autors
Genesis = word means "origin"
The Book of Genesis in the Bible begins with prehistory, which describes the creation of the world and the beginnings of human history (Creation, Mankind, Fall, Flood, BabelTower (chapters 1-11).
The salvation history seeks to explain and give reasons to the patriarchs and the people of Israel for incorporating the history of mankind history (12-36). The Patriarchs of Israel - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - is a story that speaks about the patriarchs. The book closes the story of Joseph (37-50), which is also intended that the patriarchal age as Egypt and Israel, stay connected. The units listed in the book's structure are set.
Genesis is set in the Middle Bronze Age (1950-1550 B.C.)
Abraham circa: 2000-1825 B.C.
Isaac circa: 1900-1725 B.C.
Jacob circa: 1720-1550 B.C.
Chapters 12-50: From more general (human race) history and themes to more and more general, until choosing 1 man; Abram (later renamed to Abraham by God) in Egypt who moved from Egypt to Israel, and then back to Egypt again (through Joseph).
Jacob and his 11 brothers join Egypt circa 1700 B.C

Publisher's Description▼▲
In this inspiring collection of fifty-one sermons on Romans, Fleming Rutledge presents afresh the radical gospel of Paul. Countering the widespread suspicion that Paul somehow complicated Jesus' simple teachings, Rutledge shows how Paul actually makes explicit what is implicit in the Gospel narratives and reveals "the full dimensions of God's project to reclaim the cosmos and everything in it for himself."
With her stirring words and joyful delving into Romans passages, Rutledge leads readers to refocus their eyes and ears on Paul's valuable teachings. She unpacks major ideas and motifs in the epistle, including the cross and resurrection of Christ as the first event of the age to come, faith as the human response ignited by the fire of the Word and the Holy Spirit, and God's work of salvation as all-encompassing and incomparable. Her Not Ashamed of the Gospel will be a help to preachers and an encouragement to listeners.

Not all of 2007 was bad, even though it does seem that way. At Christmas, my brother-in-law, Brian said he went to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house and their tradition is for each person around the table to say what he or she is thankful for. He said he was thankful for my health, and his statement nearly brought tears to my eyes.
It made me think of what I am thankful for and things I could really have done without this year.
I could have done without:
- Priscilla trying to kick my butt – she's not a very nice tumor
- Many, many needle sticks to draw blood, IVs, etc. – NOT FUN
- Cancer touching the lives of friends
- Weight loss of nearly 25 lbs
- Losing all my darn long naturally curly hair
- Cousin Gina's health problems
I am grateful and thankful for:
HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2008 bring joy, happiness, and good health to all!
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."
-Siddhartha (the founder of Buddhism)

Beauty Product Review:Urban Decay Ammo Eye Palette
This palatte includes 10 eyeshadows:
1. Smog: Medium shimmery gold brown color
2. Maui Wowie: Khaki gold with large gold sparkles
3. Mildew: Shimmery olive
4. Shattered: Teal gold
5. Oil Slick: Black with small silver sparkles
6. Polyester Bride: White highlighter with sparkles
7. Last Call: Shimmery Plum
8. Grifter: Light purple with silver sparkles
9. Chopper: Copper with gold sparkles
10. Sin: Champagne light copper
So I bought two Urban Decay products within a span of a few days. This one I bought before the other, so let's go over it first. I have wanted to buy Midnight Cowboy for a while, and I was looking at the palettes at Sephora, and I chose this one over one with that shade. I liked more of the colors, so there you go!
Okay so on to the review. I do like these shadows. And mind you, I like sparkley metallic-y shadows, but there is fall-out. I would reccommend using a primer, or like a paint pot. I do not like the packaging of this palette. I like group sets where though things may be smaller they are packaged separately. So that's what took me so long to purchase this product. That and the price, $34. But when you think about it? That's cheap for 10 shadows. And who wants to spend 13 dollars on ten full size shadows? Because honestly, we get bored!
So in conclusion, the shadows are very pigmented and sparkley! And there are some negatives, but I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.

A little positivity for World Food Day 2012
Blog by Deni Archer
Gloom times for food
I can't help noticing that my newsfeeds over the past few months have been rife with articles about the price of food and looming global food insecurity issues. Unfortunately I don't think they're going to go away, so I may as well get used to them. This very weekend I saw headlines stating things like "Bread, coffee and fresh fruit have become a bit of a luxury" [The Guardian (UK)] and "UN warns of worldwide food crisis in 2013" [Mail & Guardian (SA)]. Such great food for thought, right on the eve of World Food Day, 16 October.
Culprits of the food crisis
So what's the cause of this impending crisis, and what does it mean for us? Well, some candidates for blame include land degradation from poor land management practices; conversion of arable land to any of: biofuel, feedlot cattle feed, property developments and urbanisation; climatic causes like floods and droughts; and increasing fuel prices which affects both the production of conventional crops and their transport. In some countries, including South Africa, fertile land is being grabbed up by foreign speculators to produce food for export to their own nations – leaving the 'host' population at higher risk of suffering food shortages.
We can see the impacts of these determinants around us every day. Food prices really are going up. In fact, we may be feeling it a little more than usual in the coming weeks when the impacts of the local transport strikes hit the retail stores, which are intensely reliant on truck deliveries daily. The people who feel this most are, of course, the poor - those South Africans who are already spending more than fifty percent of their monthly income on food. But we're all feeling it in one way or the other, and according to the news, at this rate it's not going to get any easier. At this point, I'd like to say – keep calm and carry on reading.
Keep calm and carry on reading
I think the scariest part about all this news is that our food sources are so removed from us. In the recent economic boom times, which have coincided with stable climatic conditions, it was easy and more 'efficient' to hand over the food production activities to industry and get on with earning money from our own specialist skills. This leaves barely any of us city folk (more than 50% of the world's population) with any kind of food production skills.
Grass is for cows
The result is that when I look around I see so much land in our urban and suburban spaces going to waste. Water intensive grass, ornamental gardens, weeds - or worse still, concrete. A story that was shared with me while travelling in the Eastern Cape this year springs to mind. An African woman was visiting South Africa and touring around our cities, suburbs and peri-urban areas. After a few days she turned to her guide and said, "Do people here eat grass?" She's seen what I see – lots of human inhabited land wasted on non-edible plants. Instead we rely on far away people and places to grow our food in ways we know very little about, and unsustainable (unreliable, even) transport systems to get it to us.
Towards more reliable food systems
If only we could get it together to start converting some of the land literally on our doorsteps to food production, maybe we'd be able to develop a much more reliable food system. A smaller system would be simpler to manage, and would require fewer inputs - it would be easier to protect from extreme weather conditions. Maybe it would also foster a greater sense of community. Perhaps people would share tasks (not everyone wants to get dirt under their nails), swap produce, and more. Maybe it would even create micro-economies and stimulate job creation.
A fitting theme
It's fitting that this year the theme of World Food Day 2012 is "Agricultural co-operatives – key to feeding the world". Agricultural cooperatives come in different forms, but generally they consist of small farmers and food growers who collaborate in some way to support each other, reduce costs and become commercially viable. Co-ops in South Africa are growing. There are some that encourage the support and involvement of their local customers, and charge an annual fee which gives members priority to produce and preferential rates. There are others consisting of farmers who work together to come up with the quantities required to make a commercially viable operation. As part of our food journey we've met examples of both across the country, and they provide a very attractive alternative to retail stores. (See Afrikara Coop, and our blog on food security in Durban)
The good news!
Some more good news is that the Department of Agriculture has just set a goal of establishing 15 000 small farmers, with a focus on women. Their premise is that supporting small growers in underprivileged rural areas to improve their methods and boost production will help enhance food security for all in South Africa.
While government looks to improving rural production, I'd like to see urbanites rising to the occasion too. Growing your own is a powerful tool in the quest for true security and independence. In these dread times, your glass can easily seem half empty. I prefer mine half-full.

Uh oh - is it possible to make a quickie DIY bottle stopper? My cork was thrown out and I don't have any bottle stoppers. :)
Drink up, my friend. If we don't see you here tomorrow, we'll know you swallowed this advice. : <>
A long, long time ago, I remember crumbling a cork and using a wadded-up piece of plastic wrap to stuff in the neck, then covering the opening with more plastic wrap held in place with a rubber band, but for the life of me, I can't remember if it worked or if I ended up using it in spaghetti sauce. Sorry.
You could decant the wine into another glass bottle, or even jar, with a relatively airtight lid. Just make sure it's not so big that there's a lot of empty space - the thing is to minimize contact with air. (Storing in a cool, dark place helps too.) Just a thought.
(inwardly debating whether I should 'fess up to already having drunk the remainder.... hahaha)
Thanks, betteirene and amysarah! I'll keep both of those in mind, as I'm prone to losing corks, or accidentally feeding them to the garbage disposal (as happened tonight, it turns out).
Always keep extra corks in a bag. Or... Ask a neighbor. Ask a bartender. Ask someone in a restaurant. Drink more wine. Save those corks. You can make trivets or realio trulio cork boards out of them. By the way, depending on where you live, there are stores and wine shops that have bins to recycle corks. Whole Foods out here (The S.F. Bay Area. Yeah those Northern California people.) does it as does some of the wine stores.
Ooooh.... "Whole Foods does it as do some of the wine stores." That clicked the moment I pressed "submit answer". That makes me flinch.
What you need, if you regulalry don't drink teh full bottle, is a Vaccuvin. It's the exposure to air that affects the wine, and by pumping it out you can get a good week out of an opened bottle! Cheap and easy to use...but buy a few extra stoppers in case you toss one...
Roll up and fold or twist a paper towell to stuff in the top of the neck. And finish that wine soon!

One thing I've thought about recently is how often one talks to people. And which people get's talked to more often than others.
You may or may not have noticed this, but some people somehow manages to get into the "people you talk to" zone. People who, for one reason or another, just happen to text, tweet or in some way talk at you, with some sort of regularity.
We may attribute this to differences in mental distance. Some people are just closer than others, and so the thought of writing something to - or at - them comes to you easier than they otherwise might. And, conversely, that some people are more distant than others, and thus less likely to be written too.
Now, there are reasons why people are where they are in your mental geography. Which vary from person to person - in every sense of the word. Let's leave them for later.
One more specific thing on my mind lately is how much you should talk to those you find yourself in proximity to. It is quite possible to talk to people more or less nonstop during the day, in various forms. But do you really want to? And is it okay to drop out of these close, constant encounters for the sole reason that you've talked all day?
I ponder. And I just might another ecology to the one I've talked about for the last few days. The ecology of relations - interpersonal relations.
I ponder indeed.

For those of you keeping score at home, this figure does not include "daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on." (Nor does it come close to Wilt Chamberlin's legendary stats.)
We've always understood it was bad form to kiss and tell, but no one ever warned us off counting and telling, perhaps because it seems so ridiculous.
And to be fair, his lawyer Bertram Fields issued a stinging rebuke about Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America that says in part: "Mr. Biskind's tedious and boring book…contains many false assertions and purportedly quotes Mr. Beatty as saying things he never said."
Fair enough; the whole idea, not to mention the number, seems a little ludicrous. Although for a supposedly boring book, it's certainly got our attention. How about you?

When my life flashed before my eyes
Back about five years ago I was extremely ill, suffering from emphysema, weak heart, swollen liver and severe metabolic acidosis all caused by ethylene glycol poisoning which brought me so close to death that it caused me to have my life flash by my eyes.
I had heard about this phenomena before and had often wondered about it, anyway my experience was extremely detailed though it limited itself to looking at all aspects related to everything I had, seen, learned, heard and though in the field of biology, human physiology, medicine, herbs, chemistry and biochemistry, like if my mind was accessing every aspect of my life that could hold information useful to saving my own life. After it browsed through my own life it continued back beyond my own birth, into the life experience of my mother, Siw, with the same limited aspect, continued on to my grandmother, Marie, and even back to my great-grandmother, Lydia, which actually was a great healer and herbalist back in her time. (For more on my connection with my great-grandmother Lydia read: Guided by Lydia, the Spirit of My Great-Grandmother)
The wealth of ethnobotanical information was so immense but still depicted in absolute clarity and everything was available simultaneously, so when the reverse flash was over I instantly started writing down the note on what I had learned, and was able to make myself a cure using everything in the flash and came up with a solution using pure lemon juice which bypasses the part in the glycolysis severed by the ethylene glycol poisoning by entering directly into the Krebs cycle. Use of salmiak salt to shift the body from its ever worsening cycle caused by the poisoning into producing Urea, which also help removing part of the CO2 and CO which was building up in my blood and muscles, due to lung damage. And a mixture of 100% cocoa melted in rice milk, sweetened with honey, real licorice, natural vanilla beans and a dab of olive oil to help it dissolve, which helped stabilizing the liver functions, stabilized the heart beat and blood-chemistry enough that my body could start the repairing it had been unable to get started on for months.
Within hours of starting on my newly discovered natural method for healing myself I felt a lot better than in months, it still took months to fully recover but It did work exactly as the knowledge within opened up to me through my near death experience of seeing all the information in the flash of a moment.

|I need help figuring out what this microscopic little guy is. We used a 200x microscope and this is what we saw. The stalks of the plant are now a light green/yellowish color, leafs are turning yellow and buds are turning brown (looking as if they are dead and going to turn to dust but still have moisture to them) please help!
Jul 14, 2016 1:18 PM CST
| One of your pictures won't load, but from the other it doesn't look like a nematode to me, more like an eriophyid mite. Some pictures for you to compare:
What plant is it on?
Jul 14, 2016 6:09 PM CST
| No idea what it is but it's not a nematode. They are soil dwellers that invade plants through the roots. Also they're much smaller - you wouldn't be able to see them at all with a 200x microscope. With a 1000x you can see them just barely, and they are longer and thinner proportionally with pointy tails.
Please won't you fill in your personal profile, so that we can know your location? It's so much easier to answer questions if we know where on the planet you are. There are also a lot of places on this continent that don't have any nematodes at all. Not sure about other continents.
"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." –Winston Churchill
Jul 14, 2016 6:32 PM CST
|You can see them with lower magnification, there's a good picture of a foliar nematode from hosta on this page at 40X for example, but I believe you need closer to 1000X to identify them - if you're someone who can identify nematodes to species, which I'm not.

|The damage I have seen affects the roots severely with growths, that look like warts on whitches nose, all over them.

lauriebasler said:The damage I have seen affects the roots severely with growths, that look like warts on whitches nose, all over them.
Sounds like root knot nematode, like this?
It's not the OP's problem though, unless the critter in the OP's picture that looks like an eriophyid mite isn't the culprit for the damage. Some info on eriophyid mites:

"Always saddle your own horse."
That was the motto of Connie Reeves, a legendary cowgirl who died in Texas yesterday at the age of 101 after being thrown off her favorite horse. Connie taught horseback riding at Waldamar Camp for Girls for over 70 years, finally retiring at the age of 96. Along with riding techniques, Connie also taught the girls self reliance and independence. She taught over 30,000 girls to ride throughout her life. And her life was a doozy (I love using that word..it just makes me grin).
Connie Reeves was the oldest living member of the Cowgirl Hall of Fame when she died. She had ridden horses for virtually every year of those 101 years, having been placed on horseback before she could walk, and riding right up until her final fall, about two weeks before her death. She got her first horse when she was five years old. Her last horse, the one she was thrown from before her death, was named Dr. Pepper. She lived her motto and saddled her own horse right up until the end.
Reeve's life wasn't all about horses, however. When she was younger she dreamed of becoming a lawyer, and attended the University of Texas Law school for three years. She would have become one of the first and youngest female lawyers in the United States at the time, but the Great Depression ended that dream. She became a high school teacher and horseback riding teacher after being forced to leave law school. Connie also wrote a book about her life with her rodeo rider/rancher husband, the late Jack Reeves entitled "I married a cowboy."
When Connie was asked to what she attributed her long life she said she stayed busy, focused on the positive, and spent time with young people. "I also have good genes. Staying independent is important to me. I always saddle my own horse, and I love life too much to grow old."

So, to begin this year of positivity, on to track season! I'm hoping that my store team order comes in soon, because I have a pair of Brooks Wire 2s on order, and track season just isn't track season without spikes! (I actually do have a pair of Nike Zoom Ws from college, but if any of you did something like, say, ran the steeplechase in college, then after your last track meet in spring 2007, threw your still-wet spikes in a non-breathable spike bag, stashed them in the back of your closet, and then didn't really touch them again until last week, well, then you know why I'm really hoping to get my Wires before my first track meet. I already wore them last week for a track workout when the track was icy and flats just weren't going to fly, but the upper was stiff and weird and they smelled like death).
So tell me...do you all make resolutions, or not so much? And if you do, what are your resolutions for 2013?

Hey Becki,ReplyDelete
You've got me thinking. I've always believed in setting goals, but not necessarily at this time.
I do have a few modest ones though. I'd like to get my core into a little better shape and run more races this year. I only did three in 2012 and the last one was run just after being sick.
With my mileage reduced to 20 or so miles per week, I've had to readjust my running expectations. I did have some success with the pickups workout you suggested last year before I screwed my left leg up playing Wiffleball on Labor Day.
All in all, I'm still running every other day and have been mostly injury free, despite a left knee issue occasionally. Damn that medial meniscus repair!
Good luck with your goals this year.
Ooh, I should probably do the core thing too. I hate doing core, and end up never doing it.Delete
On the racing thing, let me direct you to my buddy Molly's blog: http://asicsmolly.blogspot.com/2013/01/peroneal-tendonitis-art-and-racingoh-my.html She makes a point in this post about racing, even when you're not in PR shape. I think it's relevant to what you're saying about doing more races despite needing to readjust your expectations based on your training! Good luck this year!
Thanks for the detail on Molly's blog. I'll check it out. And that core thing-it can be tough to discipline yourself to do it.ReplyDelete
Belated Happy New Year, Becki! I usually don't make resolutions...I just prefer to do what I need to do when I need to do it, haha. As far as training goes, I don't really set specific goals, because I get sucked into the head games, too. I have enough to worry about with the physical aspects of running; I don't need to constantly psych myself out, too.ReplyDelete
My mental game has been kicking my butt lately, so a generic goal for 2013 is to turn that around. For now I just hope to get my leg back to 100% and build my mileage back up with no pressure or numeric goals. I'll reevaluate several times throughout the year and go from there when it comes to races and workouts. Regression really sucks though, and the only PR I set in 2012 was by default when I ran my first marathon. :/

The University of Marburg is one of the most historic of German universities. It was founded in 1527 during the Reformation by the 23-year-old Landgrave Philipp the Magnanimous as the second Protestant university (the oldest Protestant university existed from 1526 to 1530 in Liegnitz in Silesia). On July 1, 1527, the universale studium Marburgense commenced with 11 professors and 84 students in the former monasteries of the city. The goal of the institution was to educate "learned, able, and God-fearing persons, preachers, and officials for Christian benefit and the good of the common land." In addition to the leading theological faculty, faculties for jurisprudence, medicine, and philosophy were also established from the beginning.
Throughout the first three centuries of the university's changeful history, the number of students vacillated between 30 and 300. In 1866, both the university and the city of Marburg experienced a renascence when the province of Hesse was annexed by Prussia and the Philipps-Universit"t became a royal Prussian university. Within twenty years, the number of students in Marburg quadrupled, while the university premises expanded to include the clinics and institutes for natural science and medicine in the north quarter of the city. The so-called Alte Universit"t (Old University) on Rudolphsplatz, designed in the neo-Gothic style, was completed in 1879 on the site of the former Dominican monastery. A decade later, the Aula was added with its wall paintings depicting the history of the city and university. Over 1000 students were registered in 1887, 2000 in 1909, and 3000 immediately following World War I.
Like most universities in Germany, the Philipps-University underwent a decisive expansion after 1960 as increasing numbers of secondary school graduates sought to pursue a university education. At the same time-if not in the same proportion-the teaching staff was augmented and new buildings erected, including the auditorium and lecture hall building, the humanities complex on the Lahn river, and the university library, as well as the central Mensa (cafeteria), the Studentendorf dormitory, and the Konrad-Biesalski-Haus as the first dormitory for disabled students in the Federal Republic of Germany. In addition, the new complex on the hills above Marburg (the Lahnberge), built to accommodate most of the natural science institutes and the university clinic, was established as a second center for the university.
The long list of significant scholars and scientists associated with the University of Marburg throughout its nearly 500-year history includes the following:
- Denis Papin, the French naturalist and inventor,
- Christian Wolff, der Aufklärer, the Enlightenment thinker whose lectures in all branches of knowledge drew many students to Marburg even from abroad,
- the Renaissance man Johann Heinrich Jung,called Stilling, founder and member of the institute for political science,
- the legal historian Friedrich Carl von Savigny,
- the chemist Robert Bunsen,
- the neo-Kantian philospher Hermann Cohen,
- der physicist Karl-Ferdinand Braun, inventor of the Braun tube (oscilloscope),
- der geophysicist Alfred Wegener, who developed the theory of continetal drift during his time in Marburg,
- Emil von Behring, founder of serology and recipient of the first Nobel Prize for medicine (1901),
- the existential philosopher Martin Heidegger and
- the New Testament scholar Rudolf Bultmann, leading proponent of the demythologization of Christianity.
Among the numerous students who attained notoriety are the following:
- the composer Heinrich Schütz,
- Michail Lomonossow, Russian Renaissance man and founder of the univeristy of Moscow, who married a woman from Marburg in 1740,
- the Brüder Grimm,
- the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset,
- the poets Boris Pasternak and Gottfried Benn,
- the philologist Konrad Duden, pioneer of German unified orthography,
- the chemist Otto Hahn,
- the surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch,
- the theologian Karl Barth, as well as
- the statesman Wilhelm Liebknecht,
- Rudolf Breitscheid and
- Gustav W. Heinemann, friend of the later much-respected political economist Wilhelm Röpke.
- One of the first women admitted to the university in 1908 was Gertrud
von Le Fort. Today, over 56 % of students in Marburg are
"I owe Marburg an der Lahn at least half of my hopes and perhaps all of my intellectual discipline," wrote Ortega y Gasset regarding his studies at the Philipps-University. Today, his words continue to motivate the alma mater philippina to develop and improve its scientific and scholarly profile.
