Dental Exam
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will perform the following:
Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:
I had two really great experiences with Dr. Wahl's office this month. I was a new patient and I had lost part of an old filling that needed to be replaced. Dr Wahl fit me in the day after I called and put in a very sturdy temporary filling that lasted a month until I could come back for the full repair. I have one of the worst cases of dental anxiety known to man, but Dr. Wahl was so calm, friendly, gentle, and reassuring. He did a beautiful job in less than half the time it's taken other dentists to fill my teeth. No fuss, no drama in this office. He is good with a needle and also does a fine job polishing and shaping a tooth so that it has a good texture and "bite." I'm extremely grateful to have found him and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Talk about modern dentistry! Digital Xrays, flexible hours, a clean, modern, relaxing office space. Dr Samson was great. As a first time patient, a 3am toothache had me calling around for some emergency dental TLC. The '24 hour emergency dentists' in my area still have not called me back three hours later AFTER i am home from seeing Dr. Samson.
I called for my appointment and they told me to come right in. Come right in it was, as I walked in, they took my name and the lovely Susan took me immediately into a treatment room. She reviewed what my symptoms were, some basic medical history, and then we were taking digital xrays! So neat! No waiting, retake as many as you need, blow them up for more detail. 21st century medicine indeed!
With the problem identified as a large cavity she reviewed my options noting that a root canal may be in order. The Doctor came in and introduced himself, talked with me a bit about the situation, looked over the information Susan had gathered and numbed me up. No excessive poking and prodding was done. It was pretty much just cleaning things out, putting some medication on the tooth, and a temporary filling to get me through to either the root canal or an extraction. No pressure either way. The Doctor was pleasant and professional through my visit,. as was Susan and all the staff.
As I checked out, the woman behind the counter reviewed payment options, including an in house payment plan where they bill my credit card monthly in installments. Again, how flexible! I made my next appointment and headed off to decide does it stay or does it go, but either way I will be coming here for all my dental care moving forward.

I often come across things in my house that are little reminders of the past – both good and bad. This morning while getting Tyler dressed he was playing with his build-a-bear. I asked him if he remembered when he made it and he said no. I wasn't sure if I should be happy or sad at that moment. I tried to spark his memory by asking more questions like who was with us and even if he remembered daddy in a wheelchair and he still said he didn't remember.
Then Carson walked into the room and remembered every single detail of that build-a-bear experience. "We got it a the hospital, not Hopkins though. The one with the robots that carried the medicine to the different floors. We went down from daddy's room outside and we were there with Pops, Uncle Robbie, and I think Grandma, and you pushed Daddy in his wheelchair. And Robbie helped me pick out my Raven's build-a-bear and daddy picked out Tyler's Terps outfit."
Carson had no idea how happy he made me this morning. He was 100% correct and we shared the same memory. We were visiting Dan at Sinai while he was in neuro rehab and they had a build-a-bear store in the lobby of the main hospital. I was originally sad that Tyler didn't remember but I knew there would come a time that he would only remember his daddy through pictures and not be able to remember events because after all, he was only newly 3 when he died. His little mind can only remember so much and I guess keeping him naive is probably a good thing.
So whenever I look at these build-a-bears I will always remember that day at Sinai hospital. Even among the sickness, Dan and I always tried to make it fun for the boys and I hope that day is a happy memory for Carson.

Puntarelle Salad with Anchovies, Mandarin Orange & Lemon
Puntarelle are one of my favorite salad greens and I can never resist them when I see them at the market hall... I just have to have them!
These Roman cousins of the typical Italian wild chicory have a lovely, mild bitterness, similar to radicchio or endives and that is what I love about them... But for those of you who are not so keen on the bitterness... Mandarin orange will save your day!
I used the same, classic, Roman dressing for my salad, made with anchovies, olive oil and lemon juice... Sounds weird, but its definitely the best way to enjoy the Puntarelle... Or if you can't get Puntarelle, you can do the same with endives or dandelion greens. You will have the same flavors going on and the combination is just terrific!
One small head of Puntarelle, 1 mandarin orange, 1 lemon, 3 anchovies, 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and some fresh pepper... How's that for a simple ingredient list for ya?
Pretty as a picture and pretty darned good! And put together as quick as you can slice up those greens!
Remove the outer leaves, which you can cook up in some other dish, (at least that is what I'm going to do!) and then cut apart the little pods on the inside. Now, using a very sharp knife, slice the Puntarelle as finely as you can!
In Rome, they have special mandolins for doing this... But I ain't in Rome... And you probably ain't either!
Spread out your greens and get ready to prepare your dressing! You've done all of the difficult stuff... It's easy peas from now on!
Cut yourself a few thin slices from the zest of the lemon and the orange before you begin and cut these into very fine shreds to scatter on top of your salad at the end... Then peel the orange and separate the segments and halve your lemon and squeeze out the juice.
Add the anchovies to the lemon juice, plenty of black pepper and about the same amount of olive oil.
Simply mash down the anchovies using a fork and then stir everything together briskly... I suppose you could use a food processor to do this if you preferred... But... I didn't!
Add your orange segments, the shredded zest and your dressing to your finely sliced greens and mix-in well... And you're ready to enjoy!
Having said that, this is a salad that can be prepared a half hour before serving, as opposed to regular green salads which will soon wilt and go all squishy on you... This one will taste better after it soaks up that salty, tangy dressing for a while.
And of course, those little bursts of sweetness from the mandarin orange make it even more delicious! Seasonal, sunny and great... Especially as autumn is not the sunniest of seasons here in Frankfurt!
I told you I couldn't resist this stuff... And I think that you might feel the same after you try it too!

Great news for Des Moines! Our GLR colleague Suzanne Mineck of the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation was a leader in the work to receive the first Build Health Challenge grant as well as this all important second one.
Healthy Homes Des Moines (HHDSM) is pleased to announce its status as a recipient of the national BUILD 2.0 grant. This grant worth $250,000 will allow HHDSM to move into its second phase of work in the Des Moines area helping families with children who suffer from asthma. HHDSM partnered with BUILD 1.0 in 2015 and is honored to be selected as one of 19 communities to receive additional funding from BUILD 2.0 in the 2017-2019 term. New this year, Mid-Iowa Health Foundation and Telligen Community Initiative were among two of the 12 national funding partners for the BUILD 2.0 collaboration. It is exciting to have their local representation on this national BUILD health project.
Through HHDSM, households with children suffering from asthma receive home repairs to address asthma triggers, and families receive tailored health education to self-manage asthma and maintain a healthy home. Children with developing lungs are particularly vulnerable to experiencing asthma symptoms. HHDSM remediates household asthma triggers and repairs the sources of the problem in the home.
"Our goal is to make major changes in upstream health initiatives to improve the lives and health of children in our community," states Suzanne Mineck, President of Mid-Iowa Health Foundation. "With the announcement Healthy Homes Des Moines as one of the BUILD 2.0 initiatives, more work can be done to strengthen the support of our children who are at the highest risk and make a real impact in their lives."
HHDSM applies a two-tiered approach using health education to teach families about asthma and care management, then repairing homes to improve indoor air quality. If a child's lifestyle, environment and home life present many triggers, they are more prone to suffer from the disease. The program counts on the school system and physicians from the three Des Moines hospital systems to refer children to the program. Eligible children are those at the highest risk for asthma attacks, with a history of aggravated airways demonstrated by repeat and urgent care visits. They must be between the ages of two and 12, live in Des Moines and meet certain income restrictions.
HHDSM is one of 19 communities selected to participate in the nationwide BUILD Health Challenge, a unique national program focusing on bold, upstream, integrated, local, and data-driven projects that can improve community health. The BUILD Health Challenge grant provides funding, capacity building support, and access to a national peer learning network to enhance collaborative partnerships here locally to address our community's most pressing health challenges. Special thanks to the BUILD Health Challenge for their support of this initiative.
Representatives from Healthy Homes Des Moines who attended the announcement event in Washington D.C. include Eric Burmeister from Polk County Housing Trust Fund, Deb Kazmerzak representing Health Homes Des Moines, Chris McCarthy from Unity Point, Melissa Brunia from Mercy Hospital and Kiersten Cooley from Visiting Nurses Services. Matt McGarvey attended the presentation for Telligen Community Initiative as one of the 12 national funders.
About Healthy Homes Des Moines
Healthy Homes Des Moines is a collaboration among Polk County Housing Trust Fund, Polk County Health Department, Mercy Medical Center, Broadlawns Medical Center, UnityPoint Health, the City of Des Moines, Viva East Bank, the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation, Telligen Community Initiative, Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa, Polk County Public Works, and Des Moines Public Schools. Healthy Homes Des Moines is funded in part by BUILD Health Challenge, which supports community collaborations using non-clinical approaches that give everyone a fair chance to be healthy.
The BUILD Health Challenge is an effort founded by The Advisory Board Company, the de Beaumont Foundation, the Colorado Health Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, the Episcopal Health Foundation, Interact for Health, the Kresge Foundation, Mid-Iowa Health Foundation, New Jersey Health Initiatives, Telligen Community Initiative, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation The Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation. Build stands for Bold, Upstream, Integrated, Local, and Data-Driven (BUILD).

Russian Mo-99 to be Supplied to Brazil
AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 04.03.2015
In February 2015 JSC Isotope signed a contract with the National Nuclear Energy Commission of Brazil (CNEN) on supplies of the Russian Mo-99.
Before signing the document Rosatom State Corporation delegation carried out an official visit to Brazil and JSC Isotope organized test supplies of Mo-99 produced by SC "SSC RIAR" and SC Karpov IPC. The customer was fully satisfied with the quality of the Russian product.
The contract with CNEN is one of the most important since the beginning of Russian Mo-99 supplies to the international market. According to the document, the volume of Mo-99 delivered to Brazil will range from 120 up to 450 Ci per week. Rosatom has significantly expanded the geography of its radioisotope products supplies while SC "SSC RIAR" got the opportunity to increase its production volume.
Following the results of cooperation the Russian and Brazilian sides may sign a 5-year contract on the supplies of Mo-99 and other isotope products, under the current intergovernmental agreement between two countries.
Due to Rosatom partnership with CNEN, Russia gets broad prospects for further cooperation with Brazil in the sphere of nuclear medicine.

DUBLIN — A 15-year-old Dublin girl who went missing this weekend was found safe in Fremont on Monday night, her family says.
Sascha Schmidt's whereabouts had been unknown since she was last seen at the Hacienda Crossing shopping center on Friday night, prompting her family to contact police and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Schmidt was at a friend's house in Fremont on Monday night when the friend's parents saw the newscast about Schmidt's disappearance and called the local police department, her stepfather says.

These preppy little oxfords have been everywhere lately so I thought I'd use them as my base for 3 new outfits.
Here we go!
This one has a romantic soft feel. The shoes give it a little structure and I think, make it look more polished than sandals would. This would be an easy " transition to fall " type of look - just add a little cardigan and you're good to go! Unless you live in Texas...if that is the case you'll be fine as is haha!
I love this. The ponytail with the little dress and chambray shirt make this somewhat clunky shoe look sweet and dainty. I think this would make a great date night outfit or could even be appropriate for an afternoon wedding.
This one was just fun to put together. I love the subtle mix of floral from the skirt with stripes on the clutch and the juxtaposition of the prim and proper blouse with the smokey makeup and sleek hair. I'd wear this just to feel fancy:)
So which is your favorite? And are you on the love or loathe side? Would you ever wear oxfords?
These are so much fun! What should I dress up next!??

Creating interactive elements on an HTML canvas can be conceptually challenging when approaching the problem from a DOM-centric perspective. Where the DOM provides built-in support for layers of interaction, the contents of an HTML canvas is essentially a pool of raw pixel data. Interaction with canvas content requires an abstract representation of the data that is to be visualized. Leveraging this, event handling, bounds detection, model and view representations must all be managed explicitly by the developer.
Fortunately the DOM does provide us a starting point from which to build from. While a canvas's content may be static, the canvas itself provides hooks within the DOM to access some critical information provided by an event reference. With that data, we can begin to answer perhaps the most pertinent question: interaction coordinates.
Tracking Interaction
We first require some basic information about where our interaction event is on the canvas in relation to the viewport. Ultimately we want to track positional coordinates of interaction any time a registered interaction event is triggered. We can construct such behavior by binding
mousemove and
touchmove events with the following handler function:
In this setup,
trackOffset() calculates relative offset x and y positions from the event's target node. The handler expects an event reference as an argument provided when the listener is dispatched. Regardless of its specific type, the event object contains critically useful data, including target nodes, relational positioning, mouse and keyboard information, touch references, etc.
The node method
getBoundingClientRect() determines bounding box information reported in object form. The resulting object will have
top and most likely a
width and
height property. Each offset property reports a value relative to the element's position within the browser's viewport. Absent width and height properties can be alternatively calculated by subtracting each axial position value pairing.
Similarly, the event member
clientX and
clientY properties report mouse/touch/pointer offset values relative to the viewport. Subtracting the target's left and top position values from them respectively will give us offset coordinates relative to the node itself.
Note: If you intend to cache your target's bounds, be certain that all of your page elements have fully rendered and all styles have been applied before doing so. Premature calls to
getBoundingClientRect() can report inaccurate values.
In the interest of extending this behavior to multiple targets in the future, let's wrap this behavior within a constructor
Passing a target element as an argument and using the
new keyword, we can create a tracker instance for our canvas.
Notice that I've modified the
trackOffset() function slightly from the original code block. For brevity, I've removed the try/catch block. We now have a well defined target element as a function argument, and the
elBounds and
offset variables have been elevated in scope.
Let's check out an interactive detection area demo that will simply report back our offset values to test our
CoordinateTracker() behavior.
Now that we are able to reliably report our interaction coordinates relative to our target's origin within the viewport, we can put that data practical use.
Defining Paths
Rendering output to a canvas element requires executing a series of draw operations within a chosen context. A filled rectangle may be represented in a code block similar to the following:
Once this code executes and scope is lost, all data associated with the rectangle shape we've just rendered is irretrievable. Instead, let's create a shape constructor which holds a generic set of rendering instructions.
Our constructor has some default values defined to backfill undefined parameters. The constructor then simply assigns instance properties which define its size, position and styling.
Using those property values, the
Rectangle prototype method
definePath() creates a
2Dpath onto a given context. Lastly, prototype method
render() handles the actual rendering of its path to the provided context by setting its styling options and invoking the final fill command. Keeping these tasks separate will allow us to later test path interaction without actually rendering pixel data to the canavs.
We can define a new
Rectangle instance and render it to a specific canvas now as follows:
Applying some rendering loops to a more structured array of shape instances provides the following output:
Determining Path Interaction
Unlike our initial, minimalist rendering code block, we can reference a shape instance (given proper scope) and trigger its
definePath() and
render() methods at any time going forward.
Leveraging our previously constructed coordinate tracking function, we can set additional listeners to our canvas to specify how the tracking data should be applied to its rendered content.
Lets assume we have some variable declarations within scope, including a reference to a 2d context, a
CoordinateTracker() instance, a placeholder reference to a future hovered shape, and a pixel cache of the current canvas contents. A
mousemove event listener is added to a canvas to execute our extended behavior.
Additionally we need to define a function to determine if a coordinate falls within the 2Dpath of a shape instance. The shape's
definePath() prototype method is called to map it to our canvas's context. While this path is still 'live', context provides methods
isPointInPath() and
isPointInStroke() to determine if a coordinate's x and y values fall within its path or stroke respectively (yes, thankfully we dont have to trace the pixels within its area ourselves!). Either method returns a boolean value as a result, which in the following example conditionally assigns our placeholder reference to the current shape instance:
With this, we can define a higher-level event handler
interactionHandler() which will loop through each shape instance in the array and test for interaction given the coordinates being reported by the
CoordinateTracker() instance. If an interaction exists, or if one is just ending, We trigger a method to handle how to redraw the canvas content conditionally.
The 'if' condition within the handler is doing several things:
- The
shapesarray is being copied
- The array copy is being reversed
- The array copy is being iterated, invoking
testShapeInteraction()for each iteration until it ends or until a truthy result is returned
We create a copy of the
shapes array so we are able to reverse it without affecting the original. The array is reversed so the iteration order favors the highest shapes on the rendering stack. This ensures that shapes painted ontop of other shapes in instances where they overlap take priority.
During each iteration, a shape instance is being checked for interaction - essentially to test if our coordinate hover data falls within the shape's path. When an interaction is detected, the canvas is told to repaint its contents accordingly.
Below is a preview is the resulting behavior:
Notes on Performance
In situations where you are looping through a large number of paths or paths with particularly complex shapes, such as high fidelity map data, efficiency becomes paramount. It is important that your loop structures are concise and efficient. Here are a few things to consider if your interaction checking suffers from noticeable lag:
- Make sure your iteration method allows for some form of termination to prevent redundancy
- Use for loops over array iteration methods
- Do not draw to the canvas in loops when no pixel information requires change
- Cache deeply structured objects to reduce the time the interpreter requires to traverse the prototype chain
- Avoid DOM changes that require repainting or reflowing
Using methods outlined in a previous article, I've written an interactive demo that renders continental US counties to a canvas. Using the coordinate tracking mechanisms outlined in this article, each county can be individually highlighted when the cursor hovers over its position. Its purpose is to test interaction responsiveness when many paths are present.

An Historical Study of the Correlates of Cooperative Education Program Growth, Stability, and Longevity.
Gross, Linda; Heller, Barbara R.
Cooperative education programs that operated in 1974-1975 were identified and their status by 1981-1982 was investigated. General characteristics of program growth that might indicate the structural and organizational correlates of longevity and stability were assessed. Attention was directed to two- and four-year colleges that were not federally funded, as well as to institutions whose cooperative education programs were federally supported. Data from a 1975 directory of grant recipients were obtained for 860 programs. Based on an 8-year profile of reported student enrollment, these programs were divided into five growth groups (discontinued, increased, decreased, fluctuating, and stable). A second research agenda was to determine institutional characteristics, the history and nature of cooperative education, and general information about the community. Questionnaires were sent to 612 institutions still offering cooperative education in 1982 as well as to 296 colleges with discontinued programs, and a total of 312 usable responses were obtained. Finally, data were collected on the kind of award, the years involved, and the dollar amounts. It was found that 34.4 percent of the programs that had been operating in 1974-1975 had been discontinued by 1982-1983. A questionnaire is appended. (SW)

Why do some Employers fear Freelancers
Like it or not, the gig economy, on-demand workforce or insert new buzz term, is here to stay.
Every day, new startup businesses are emerging and employers of all sizes are noticing the benefits that come with hiring a contingent workforce. Though many are opting to split the difference by blending (hiring a mixture of workers), the freelance community "has grown by 5% in the last 10 years and accounts for 34% of the workforce", according to Ellie Martin & Melissa Thompson of Newsblaze.com. This is great news for independent contractors but many employers are still afraid of the instability and insecurity that comes along with hiring them. But if freelancers opt to understand why some employers fear them, perhaps both parties will be able to benefit in the end.
Freelancer Freedom
Oddly enough, the same reasons many employers are drawn to freelancers are why they often times are afraid to rely on them. Independent contractors seek the freedom and flexibility that comes with working for themselves. They can focus on what they excel at, be more efficient and work when they are the most productive. Additionally, the money an employer can save by hiring freelancers for specific projects when it's most beneficial to do so, is a huge incentive for business owners of all sizes. But there is still an uncertainty about relying on specialized workers long-term.
Employers seek stability and dedication from their employees. But sometimes, when a freelancer is unhappy with a project, it's a lot easier for them, compared to traditional employees,to walk away from a situation they deem undesirable. It's empowering to be able to do so, but if freelancers aren't careful it can limit their overall desirability. Of course freelancers shouldn't ever sell themselves short, nonetheless, they should be malleable to their client's needs. By showing dedication and sticking with the toughest of worthy employers, this presumed fickleness attached to freelancers will begin to fade and employers will garner more confidence around the contingent workforce.
Confusion about Classification
Many companies like Uber, for example, have taken advantage of the independent workforce and/or would be employees. They save tons of money by classifying employees as independent contractors, even if they work full-time hours. This seedy behavior has lead to State and the Federal governments getting involved. Another unintended result from this is that many would be freelancer clients are becoming weary of hiring contingent workers. They are confused about how to go about fostering relationships with workers who can't be told what to do in the traditional sense and are fearful of what to do when a short term job becomes a long one.
There are many on-demand platforms that help clients make sure they are working with freelancers fairly and accordingly, but various fee's coupled with finding the right workers can be costly and time-consuming. However, if done correctly, the rewards can outweigh the cost. Moreover, there are also WIP (Work in Progress) services that can monitor the number of freelancers a business has employed, helping them avoid the costly mistakes in classification. Unless an employer knowingly "misclassifies" their employees, for monetary gain, there needn't be anything to fear.
Bad Seeds
Just as there are employers who take advantage of freelancers. There are freelancers out there who give the community a bad rap. Some freelancers set their rates too low while others are trying to get rich quick. When a freelancer sets their rates too low, client's tend to think this is the norm or worse they fall prey to incompetence and mediocrity. Freelancers also pay because qualified workers often have to work for less than their worth in a competitive marketplace. This encourages fickleness and hinders loyalty for all parties involved.
Freelancers who take advantage of small businesses by charging insane rates, or those who quit unexpectedly are also a part of the problem. Freelancers need to conduct themselves as professionals and avoid the potential pitfalls that come with being a contracted worker. On-demand platforms are riddled with subpar workers and outsourced leeches. If freelancers want to be taken seriously, said platforms can be beneficial for starting relationships but real success comes with stepping up your game and doing things yourself. A successful track record along with a professional and realistic demeanor can sooth the greatest of fears.
It's here to stay
There are too many benefits associated with the gig economy for weary employers to stay at bay for long. Though there are still many issues that need to be worked out, lots of freelancers are thriving and many employers are jumping on board. Misclassification, confusion and leeches will always be a part of the system and some employers will probably never get with the times. But as we continue into what has been called "the next industrial revolution" a little fear is to be expected. Besides, nothing worth having is easy and when it comes to success we should run towards what we're afraid of.


text: Barrett Astin optioned, other Saturday notes for the Reds Doug Gray April 8, 2017 29 Comments To make room for Bronson Arroyo on the Cincinnati Reds 25-man roster the team has optioned right hander Barrett Astin to Triple-A Louisville. Astin only appeared in one game, but he got the job done. He worked around an inherited jam to get out of the inning unscathed. The move of Astin to the minors was a bit of a surprise. The Reds had said that the plan was to have Cody Reed start soon. They have also said that it's not going to come next week as they had originally planned. After walking four batters in 2.0 innings the other day in his 2017 debut, and not needing him to start, I would have figured he'd be heading back to Louisville. Instead, it's Astin that makes that move where I'd expect him to join the bullpen. Tyler Goeddel was claimed off of waivers earlier this week. The Reds then put him on waivers themselves, and he cleared them. He's been outrighted to Louisville. Smooth move by the organization to pick up Goeddel. Adding him to the system and being able to keep him for essentially nothing was very smart. That should leave him with two options remaining moving forward. With Astin and Arroyo swapping spots, but Goeddel being added, someone would need to be removed from the Bats roster to stay at 25 players. That move has not been announced yet. Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer has reported that Nick Travieso has begun his throwing rehab in Arizona. Also, Nick Travieso (biceps inflammation) has begun a throwing program back in Arizona. — Zach Buchanan (@ZachENQ) April 8, 2017 Nick Travieso has been dealing with some shoulder issues since the offseason when he began his throwing program and had to shut things down. It was originally thought he would just be a few weeks behind the other pitchers. The team moved him to the 60-day disabled list to start the season. Some of that was related to needing to create a 40-man spot, but Travieso has turned out to be a bit more than 2-3 weeks behind the other pitchers, too. 29 Responses Hunt4redsoct April 8, 2017 Arroyo, nice story, but time to retire. Rather see Stephenson or Reed. Service time is running, they should be pitching. Jim Delaney April 8, 2017 Watching Arroyo throw batting practice to the Cards makes no sense to me. The Reds organization cries poor and states they can't keep legit major leaguers but then they spend money on a marginal pitcher in FELDMAN and bring back Arroyo who should have retired in 2015. Seen enough of his 84 mile an hour heater…. Steve April 8, 2017 How long will the Arroyo experiment last? Until Mes is ready? Or Disco or Bailey? C'mon Stephenson, gotta show you deserve to get some starts Champ Summers April 8, 2017 walking the first two guys you face is not a great start. Steve April 8, 2017 But, got out of the inning without giving up a run after second and third, no out. Doug Gray April 8, 2017 To be fair – ball four on Molina was actually strike three according to Gameday…. but, you know, umpires aren't perfect, so it turned an out into a non-out. Steve April 8, 2017 Hope Astin gets a chance to start over Adleman. Can always revert to being a reliever later if the Reds need him. Doug Gray April 8, 2017 Astin prefers to relieve. The long term plan is for him to relieve. At this point it just makes more sense to let him try and thrive in that role. KyWilson1 April 8, 2017 I see absolutely no benefit of having Stephenson and Reed in the bullpen if you aren't going to use them regularly. Doug Gray April 8, 2017 That's a good point. Stephenson had thrown 1 inning between March 26th (last spring appearance was the 25th) and today. It came in Louisville on March 31st. That's a really long time of essentially no real work. Got to do better than 5 walks (the intentional one…. that's not on him), and the umpire did him absolutely no favors at all, but yeah, he was still all over the place. The fastball was high and armside almost every time. Steve April 8, 2017 Well, if he prefers to relieve then I guess that rules being a starter out. Wes April 8, 2017 Let's just see how it plays out. I'm excited to see that the reds actually have a plan. They obviously don't care about service time and want to bring em along slowly for whatever reason but Atleast they are trying something new. I'm like it! Steve April 8, 2017 Watching Stephenson live and he misses consistently to the same area, inside-high to righties, outside-high to lefties with his fastball. I noticed that his right foot is more towards the third base side of the mound. Right foot placement more towards the first base side of the mound might get him more pitches in the strikezone, especially with the fastball. Another outing with inconsistency of control. MK April 8, 2017 It might be time to use the proverbial two by four between the eyes on Robert Stephenson. The Rangers got through to Edinson Volquez by sending him back to A-ball. Maybe it is time to send Robert back to Daytona and see what happens. Do not have much to lose at this point. Doug Gray April 8, 2017 How's that going to help him repeat his mechanics? The Rage April 8, 2017 Besides, his mechanics were fine. A different ump, he may be still in the game. Doug Gray April 8, 2017 Mechanics weren't exactly fine. Release point wasn't exactly consistent. I do agree though, the ump did ZERO favors at all. MK April 8, 2017 Might be the motivation that makes him put the work in necessary to accomplish it. Seems nothing else is getting it done. Doug Gray April 8, 2017 Pitching one inning in two weeks probably didn't help much, either. The Rage April 8, 2017 Be careful about Stephenson(and Reed for that matter). Both had not pitched for awhile and looked rusty. Neither have much bullpen experience which leads toward tightness. Steve April 8, 2017 Gutierrez not doing so well so far. 3 hits and a BB in first 5 batters. Down 2-0. Steve April 8, 2017 Add a second BB and it's full base, 1 out Steve April 8, 2017 HBP forces in another run. 3-0 Steve April 8, 2017 42 pitch first inning. Looks like a 3-4 inning outing today cinvenfan April 8, 2017 I completely agree on the umpire today. It's a trend when playing the Cards. They call it "framing", I call it BS. It's a shame that RS cannot command his fastball. Today he was consistently 95-96 and has a nasty breaking pitch. But I still put him in before Bronson. If you are going to lose the game at least give the youngsters the nod. Arroyo didn't eat the innings he was supposed to anyway. MK April 8, 2017 Sent a note to Bats to ask about lack of milb-tv and said they would have no home games until second homestand. Hingle mccrinleberry April 9, 2017 Another poor office decision by the reds. Arroyo shouldn't even be on this team because he didn't earn it. Reds gave a big ole middle finger to Sal Romano. Who actually earned it. This stupid idea of needed veteran is stupid. We've seen this before. Arnold Ziffle April 10, 2017 I've been saying for over a year now to trade Robert Stephenson before his trade value plummets. That sound we heard coming out of STL on Saturday was his stock hitting rock bottom in a crash. KaBOOOOM!!! I hate to tell you I told you so. But…..I told you so. I wonder if the Twins would take him for C Stuart Turner?? Doug Gray April 10, 2017 And I've been telling you for a long time that deciding the fate is sealed on guys that are 24 is insane. Much less when they've pitched one game as a 24-year-old. Was it a good game? No. But man, you're getting so far ahead of yourself that it's not funny.

When you think about gaining the most out of a workout, your mind focuses on diet and training. But what about your clothing? In 2013, Nicholas Harris filled a huge gap in the market. He combined the latest technology with style, and created HPE (Human Performance Engineering).
Using his experience of more than 15 years as a human performance specialist, Harris applied the systems and science used to accelerate performance, increase recovery and reduce inflammation. Simply put, he designed activewear that makes you perform better.
When I slipped on HPE's Spider Bra, I instantly felt sexy. It's not an old sports bra that does the job, it's a garment that makes you want to work out. Not to mention the comfort ability factor; it's thin straps feel light on my skin and the fitting is as though it's been tailored.
Exclusively to i the stylist, I found out more about Harris and his clothing success – adorned by celebrities and retailed worldwide (Harrods seal of approval) and discussed the future of fitness technology.
i the stylist: What inspired you to create HPE?
Nicholas Harris: "As a human performance specialist, I wanted my clothing to be an extension of what I do day in, day out: Help people perform better. What you wear to exercise really effects your performance, so in essence, the HPE range was designed to provide individuals with highly technical kit, which offers credible points of difference helping you to perform better, in optimum comfort and style.
At HPE, our mantra is "your body is the greatest thing you'll ever own", and you shouldn't be putting it in anything other than the best, which is what you'll get from the HPE Collection".
Describe the technology you use. Why is it so beneficial in activewear?
"Each item in the HPE range incorporates our unique FRESHFIT technology with silver ions and moisture management systems, which have been designed to resist bacterial build up and keep you feeling fresh, in any condition. Additionally, we've just launched a new, quarterly subscription box service, another offering which makes us unique.
Allowing you to embrace the latest active wear trends, this new service offers significant savings on signature styles and bestselling products, helping users build a workout wardrobe, which is delivered directly to their door. Thanks to the 'Build Your Box' option, each subscription box is carefully tailored to the customer, with women choosing a pair of leggings, a top and a bra from a selection of style categories, and men selecting a pair of bottoms and top from the extensive essentials collection".
Are certain items better designed for specific workouts?
"The intention of the brand was to create a combination of performance and style that can withstand the rigours of intensive training, whilst still maintaining optimal comfort and enhancing performance. All items are designed to ensure that they can improve all workouts, and are mostly designed with the same fabric technologies to ensure versatility."
How varied is your female clientele? Have you noticed particular fitness trends like the rise of women lifting, changing the way that they shop?
"The rise of the mantra that females are strong and can lift as much as men has definitely contributed to the way that women shop, and it has definitely been in HPE's favour. Women want clothing which will work as hard as they do in the gym, withstanding intense training sessions, whilst offering the perfect fit, in a range of stylish designs.
There has also has been a rise in the 'athleisure' trend, which involves wearing activewear and fitness clothing outside of the gym. This, again, has changed the way women shop as they want clothing that is stylish, comfortable and on trend. This is definitely something that HPE achieves, as we offer versatile styles, designs and colour ways which cater to all fashion needs."
What do you think the future of fitness technology is?
"The trend for subscription box services is continuing to gain momentum, especially in the world of health and fitness. In the main, these services save people time and money, also allowing them to try new products which will benefit their lifestyle, and allow them to discover new products and brands.
The retail industry is ever changing, and subscription box services offer a customisable, personalised service which gives consumers what they're looking for. As a forward thinking, innovative active wear brand, I'd noticed a gap in the market for a premium service which allows people to embrace the latest performance focused fitness clothing trends and build a workout wardrobe packed full of technical apparel which can boost performance and aid recovery."
How do you see HPE growing in the next few years?
"Our plan is to open 25 retail stores in the next 3 years. We're also looking to design and manufacture running shoes, kit bags, and yoga mats."

'Get the job done': Trump to Republicans
At a Republican fundraiser, President Trump told the GOP to 'deliver' on the promise to repeal and replace Obamacare with a possible vote on Thursday. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: President Trump told the GOP to 'get the job done' and repeal and replace Obamacare during the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser Tuesday night. Trump is trying to win the first major legislative battle of his presidency. Pressure is growing on the businessman-turned politician to deliver as investors become worried that a failed healthcare push could also portend trouble for promised tax cuts and relaxed regulation that have propelled the market to record highs in recent months. Party leaders hope to move the bill to the House floor for debate as early as Thursday. But the administration and House leadership can afford to lose only about 20 Republican votes or risk the bill failing since Democrats are united against it.

NTU's Alumni Fellowship Programme continues to flourish and has now been expanded across the University's schools. With over 850 Alumni Fellows taking part in the programme, and volunteering thousands of hours of their time, now is a fantastic time to apply to the Alumni Fellowship Programme and join our growing team of dedicated volunteers. The programme, which originally started in the Nottingham Business School, was set up to provide a structured way for alumni to volunteer their time and help inspire NTU students. The programme provides opportunities for alumni to support a variety of different employability focussed activities (both on and off campus), helping students with their personal and professional development. This academic year Alumni Fellows have volunteered a combined total of over 1400 hours of their time and engaged with over 2,500 students. Applications are now open to attrace Alumni Fellows from all subject areas. We are particularly keen to hear from alumni from the following the Schools of Art and Design; Social Sciences; Architecture, Design and the Built Environment; and Science and Technology.Kathie Moore, Dean of the School of Social Sciences, said: "The Alumni Fellowship Programme provides transformative experiences for our students, and is a way for our talented alumni to volunteer their time and expertise. In particular, through the Programme, we are looking to enhance the learning experience of our students through activities such as one-to-one mentoring, hearing from alumni at career events, support for placements, help with mock interviews, and writing articles or blog posts to inspire students."

This is the most neglected aspect in our industry. It's also an aspect where lots of tears are shed – the most of which are not because of the loss of a loved one, but due to bad, or no estate planning, where the loved ones are left uncared for.
To make it worse, is that someone – likely one of your favorite people – will be stuck with wrapping up your affairs.
But wait, there is good news! With the assistance of your Care Line it is not difficult to put a few safeguards
in place so that you won't have to worry about such complicated issues.
The key to success is to determine your priorities and plan along these guidelines.
Your estate refers to all your assets and liabilities i.e. fixed property, motor vehicles, cash, insurance policies, investments and all your debts. Proper estate planning will ensure that your estate is structured in the most tax effective way, which will not only benefit your beneficiaries, but also yourself after your death.
Structure your estate and ensure that:
• There will be sufficient funds to liquidate your debts;
• There will be an income or capital, if applicable, to provide for your dependants;
• Your estate will be distributed according to your last wishes;
• Your business interest are protected;
• Tax implications are limited on estate duty, income tax and capital gains tax;
• Your estate is flexible enough to accommodate changes in the economical and legal environment, as well as your personal circumstances.
These are the things you don't think about – maybe it's time to do so! Let's assist in things we specialize in.

Make intolerance of smoking history
Further to yesterday's post, I urge every reader to complete the survey that seeks to 'make smoking history' in Manchester.
Granted, it's targeted at local residents ('Greater Manchester. It's our home, our history and our future. So we've all got a stake in making things right. Right?') but that shouldn't deter others from submitting their views too.
After all, those behind the campaign make no bones about the fact that 'Greater Manchester is leading the way by involving all of its people in a massive conversation to make smoking history for our next generation of children.'
In other words, if this campaign results in more smoke free areas in Manchester, expect more cities and conurbations to follow suit.
Moreover, I don't see why visitors shouldn't express an opinion too.
I completed the survey this morning and the first thing to note is that entering a postcode outside Greater Manchester does not block submissions, although non-resident submissions will no doubt be singled out for comment in the final analysis.
It doesn't take long so please take a couple of minutes to respond. Respondents are asked to agree/disagree etc with a handful of questions including the following:
I want smoking to be made history in Greater Manchester
Extending smoke-free public places is a good idea
Films, television programmes, computer games, music videos and other media without 18 age rating or pre-watershed, should not show people smoking on screen
Businesses in Manchester should have a valid licence to sell tobacco
These questions raise so many issues I don't know where to start so I'll limit myself to one.
Inviting response to 'smoking on screen' raises the interesting prospect of the council imposing a unilateral ban on smoking on film or TV sets in Manchester, adopting similar regulations to those in Scotland and Wales where the practise is prohibited.
Whether that's possible I don't know but I sense the hand of Deborah Arnott, CEO of ASH, behind this and the licensing question. It may not be feasible for Manchester to go it alone but by putting these issues up for debate it helps set the national agenda.
Respondents to the survey are also invited to submit 'additional feedback'. I wrote:
I strongly oppose this campaign which is designed to reduce the number of smokers by further denormalising a legal product enjoyed by millions or ordinary people who pay a huge sum in tax (tobacco duty & VAT) that far outweighs the cost of treating smoking-related diseases on the NHS.
It is no business of local authorities (or the Mayor of Greater Manchester) if adults choose to smoke. Stop wasting public money that could be better sent tackling crime, housing and transport (to name a few).
Interestingly there seems to be an assumption that most respondents will support the campaign because the survey concludes by saying:
If you would like to take a bigger role in this initiative and stand up and be counted as someone who genuinely wants to help create a positive change, then we'd invite you to become an advocate.
Sign up below and we can begin to make a lasting impact on the future of Greater Manchester and the health of 2.8 million people who live here.
I'm not sure when the closing date is so please submit your response now. Click here.
And if you live in Greater Manchester do please get in touch.
WATCH: Andy Burnham wants smoke-free Manchester in TEN years (Granada Reports).
Update: I shall be discussing this on BBC Radio Manchester in the morning.

Vicarious stupidity.
"Can I just say, I mean, the negative mindset of the last five minutes is ridiculous - of course America has made mistakes."Meanwhile in America, Gore Vidal has responded to Bush's second inauguration speech - found over at WhatROOLYhappened.com.
"I think some of the criticism of the Americans by some the Europeans is unfair and irrational and I have said so."
Gore Vidal responds to this excerpt from Bush's speech,
"America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling. Our goal, instead, is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way. The great objective of ending tyranny is the concentrated work of generations. The difficulty of the task is no excuse for avoiding it. America's influence is not unlimited; but fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in freedom's cause."Vidal's comments,
"Well, I hardly know where to end, much less begin. There's not a word of truth in anything that he said. Our founding fathers did not set us on a course to liberate all the world from tyranny. Jefferson just said, all men are created equal, and should be, etc, but it was not the task of the United States to go abroad to slay dragons, as John Quincy Adams so wisely put it; because if the United States does go abroad to slay dragons in the name of freedom, liberty, and so on, she could become dictatress of the world, but in the process she would lose her soul. That is what we - the lesson we should be learning now, instead of this declaration of war against the entire globe. He doesn't define what tyranny is. I'd say what we have now in the United States is working up a nice tyrannical persona for itself and for us. As we lose liberties he's, I guess, handing them out to other countries which have not asked for them, particularly; and what he says - The reaction in Europe - and I know we mustn't mention them because they're immoral and they have all those different kinds of cheese - but, simultaneously, they're much better educated than we are, and they're richer. Get that out there: The Europeans per capita are richer than the Americans, per capita. And by the time this administration is finished, there won't be any money left of any kind, starting with poor social security, which will be privatized, so that is the last gold rush for (as they say) men with an eye for opportunity."John HoWARd follows Bush and his administration without applying facts, truth, logic, analysis, common sense or humanity.
"Events are made so horrible people like Saddam and so on are demonized, and we all have to immediately begin by saying how awful he is for 25 minutes before we can get down to the fact that he was no threat to the United States, no threat at all. He was not involved with al Qaeda. He was not involved with 9/11. He was not. He was not. You can say it a million times, but there you have a president with the help of the most corrupt media in my lifetime buoying his words across the land and telling lies about the - We're 45 minutes away from being blown up by the weapons of mass destruction that this master of evil has in his hands. - To which the answer is: Why? Why would he do that? There must be some motivation. You see, they are now beyond motivation, and that is insanity. So, an insane government is not one that you can look to with any confidence."

I've got four cooking and gardening books in the pile for review right now – all of them really exciting titles when I get down to posting them here – I promise! But at the moment, I'm a little obsessed with fabric instead – and February is turning out to be a *great* fabric month. First of all, B. bought me a bunch of really nice designer fabrics (at left) – three of which are already incorporated in projects: The skulls have been made into market bags, the tattoo fabric (which you can barely see at the end) has been made into a bread bag and a kitchen laundry bag, and the amy butler turquoise second from right is going to become an overnight bag in very short order. The other fabrics are still up for grabs until I decide what to do with him. After this gift, B. gave me another fabric gift (which I haven't photographed) including a bunch of small pieces and fat quarters from Spoonflower.
On top of that – DressSew is having a 50% off everything sale for their 50th anniversary which afforded me a whole lot of interfacing, lining fabric and a few more designer cottons I would normally not have bought except they were so cheap. $150 of stuff set me back about $82 with tax – which is a really nice stash addition for not too much money. Plus I got the lining to make Jenny's diaper bag which is on my next projects list.
And if that wasn't all enough, my mother has promised me a shopping trip to Satin Moon in Victoria as a birthday present this month (and possibly some other fabric/textile shops as well). That's all high-end stuff for quilting and they have an amazing selection of supplies! By the end of all this, I will certainly be awash in lots of amazing project fabrics…. just in time for – gardening season!
But that's okay, because right now it's all small one-off projects to build my skills and having some nice material to work with sure makes it a lot more enjoyable. I'm super glad I learned how to use interfacing in a workshop last year as well, that is turning out to give me a lot more project options. Next up after the three projects I've got on the go are done? Zippers I think. I'm going to learn how to install zippers for this cute little amy butler zipper bag set I've just bought some fabric for today. Ah. Litte distractions. Photos and book reviews to come soon!

I confess, I have had a Facebook page advertising a few of my wares pretty half-heartedly since before Christmas, and have been meaning to be more creative with it and get some proper pictures up etc, but have found myself just about treading water since going back to work. So I took the opportunity whilst H was napping and set up my own website!! I have completed most of it, so now all I need are the products so I can sell them on there!!
I am now finding myself full of hope that this will take off and start something for me to enjoy for myself away from the family and work dramas. Once it is all up and running smoothly, I will post a link from here so you can have a peruse at your leisure!!
I will be starting out small I think, just some nappy cakes, nappy crackers and small gifts and then if they take off, branch out into making my own personalised/tailor-made gifts and then maybe onto making baby items, like bibs, blankets etc.
How exciting!!
Grotty H in bed with us because he can't sleep!!

"Now that we have made progress it's time to focus squarely on preparing for the World Cup," she added.

Watercolors are a perfect art time choice for kids of all ages. They allow children to experiment with color intensity and color mixing, plus they're relatively easy to clean up compared to tempera paint.
This activity uses glue to add another dimension to your child's watercolor creations. Bigger kids can create a dramatic stained glass effect while younger kids can be successful painting in the lines without having the colors run together.
All you need for this project are a set of watercolor paints, white school glue, and some black and white outline images.
Older children can start by drawing the image with a black pen onto cardstock or watercolor paper. For younger kids, do a web search for "coloring pages" (there are tons of options available) and print the images. This is a great opportunity to pick your child's favorite character, animal or vehicle.
Next, trace around the lines of the image with glue. Don't be afraid to let your kids get involved in this step. It's great fine motor practice for little hands.
Once your images are completely outlined with glue, leave them to dry. This takes several hours, so trace lots of images as your art activity on day one and move on to painting them on day two.
Once the glue is dry it will form a raised lip around each section of the image.
The lip works perfectly for keeping each color contained inside the lines.
When your kids are done painting they'll have a lovely collection of stained glass art to proudly display on the wall.
This is a fabulous activity when stuck inside due to rain or summer heat. Just be prepared to make a lot of coloring sheets. My kiddos have been painting this way for three days straight and are still asking for more!

What we've been reading, digital edition
March 12, 2010
Pre-sales for Apple's new iPad have just opened, so there's no better time than now for a round-up of digital, digitized, and digitalized readings. Before we get into the digital preservation, Jeff Peachey just shared the text of his Mim Watson Lecture in the Book Arts at the University of Texas – Austin, entitled "The Future of Book Conservation at the End of the Mechanical Age" which raises a number of challenging issues that deserve more contemplation than I can provide at the moment.
- From a 1976 volume of the American Archivist, the earliest article that I have seen on the utilization of digital imaging for preservation: "Document Restoration by Digital Image Processing."
- The Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Digital Preservation and Access released "Sustainable Economics for a Digital Planet: Ensuring Long-Term Access to Digital Information," another substantial Abby Smith publication making the case for strategies to digital preservation. You can read the Cliff Notes version from the Library Journal if you are rushed for time.
- MetaArchive has published a Guide to Distributed Digital Preservation, covering both practical and philosophical issues of collaborative preservation strategies.
- "Avoiding a Digital Dark Ages" in the American Scientist covers the basics of technological obsolescence, bit-rot, and software issues for your everyday stake-holder.
- The British Library warns that the UK's websites could be lost to the annals of history without changes to legalese.
- IMLS has opened up a discussion Wiki to collect ideas and discussion on the Future of Museums and Libraries.
- Lasers! Art! Cleaning!
- The personal side of preservation, how to deal with the saved video game files of a long deceased sibling.

"To be forewarned is to be forearmed" is a saying that my mother constantly references.
It simply means that if you know about something before it happens, you prepare yourself for it.
And God in His great love for us always gives us adequate warning and insight to prepare for an impending trial or circumstances that have the potential to shake the very core of our faith, if we are caught off-guard and unprepared.
Several references are made throughout the bible of God providing deep insights to common individuals about something that will happen in the future. These individuals were tasked with warning or sharing the revelation that they received from God with those within their circle of influence.
Some well known examples include Noah, Jeremiah and Nathan.
Noah was tasked with warning the heinous society that he lived in about the impending flood (Genesis 6); Jeremiah was also called to minister to a decaying nation and preach a word of reformation and revival. Still, his message was mocked and ignored and he received more failure in his ministry than success; Nathan also served as a messenger with a harsh truth to King David in the midst of his adultery scandal.
Each of these messengers had two things in common:
1. They were given a message from God
2. They obeyed God, even if it risked their lives, brought them little success and disfavour from those around them
In 2 Chronicles 20, we encounter two types of messengers.
1. The people who told Jehoshaphat that the armies were encamped around the city and were preparing for war. It was the message from the small group in the beginning of the chapter, that alerted Jehoshaphat of the danger ahead and led him to call a period of fasting and praying throughout the nation.
There was also Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, who was filled with the Holy Spirit and declared a promise of comfort in the midst of the emotional uproar:
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation;
And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. (Versus 14 – 17)
It was Jahaziel's revelation that provided Israel with the comfort and direction they needed to defeat those who were coming against them.
God used these messengers to speak to Jehoshaphat. And He still uses messengers in our lives to alert us of something that we are unaware of. He also uses messengers to offer us spirit-led direction and comfort so that we can face our varied warlords without fear and in confidence.
These messengers are mere tools in God's plan to always keep us one step ahead of the enemy and ahead of those who work against us.
Interestingly sometimes, we mistrust the messenger and receive the message with skepticism. Other times, we reject the message entirely.
I want to encourage you to allow that skepticism to direct you to genuine prayer with God so that His Spirit can confirm what the messenger shared.
When God reveals, He always confirms. And what He confirms, always aligns with His word.
My testimony: A few weeks ago, God ushered a messenger into my life with a message of an impending plot against me. I was stunned as I was hurt. And like Jehoshaphat, I rallied my prayer circle and we fasted and prayed about what was revealed. Throughout that period, God confirmed that the alert that I received was genuine; He also revealed clear instructions that I would have to follow. Since then, I have followed His instructions and He is still dismantling and disrupting the plans that were strategically set to harm me.
This situation has deepened my appreciation for the creative ways God forewarns and forearms us.
Your charge: There is a messenger in your life who God has equipped to speak comfort and wisdom into your present situation as well as the next. Embrace those messages. Spirit-proof them through prayer. Remain obedient and comforted and remember, this battle is not yours to win, but God's.
