Presidential awards for world top position holders in GCE 'O' and 'A' level examinations
Islamabad: As many as 118 distinguished achievers of SSC-HSSC board examinations and world top position holders in GCE 'O' and 'A' level examinations were conferred with presidential awards in an auspicious ceremony held here on Monday.
Students, who secured first position in SSC, HSSC and I Com examinations 2005 and world top position holders in 'O' and 'A' level in the year 2007, attended the award distribution ceremony along with their parents and teachers.
Speaking on the occasion, State Minister for Education Ghulam Fareed Kathia said these students are our country's assets and should be facilitated properly to further polish their talents and skills. "Their achievements are a proof of their hard work and dedication, as they have brought laurels to their country at national and international level," he said.
He said the ceremony was a good effort in bringing together the two entirely different systems of education at one platform. "Students and experts of both the systems will have an opportunity to learn from each other in order to fill in the lapses in their respective methods," he said.
The minister said that Pakistan is a signatory of 'Quality Education for All' under the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and we have to work hard in order to achieve these goals. "The civil society and private sector are contributing in order to deliver quality education to the students but further efforts are required at both levels in this regard," he said.
The students who secured first position in SSC examinations in 2005 included the names of Omama Masood (Abbottabad), Amir Shahbaz (Mirpur, AJK), Babar Ayaz (Mirpur, AJK), Hafiz Jawad Abdul Rahim (Bahawalpur), Hashmatullah Khan (Bannu), Khuram Shahzad (Dera Ghazi Khan), Rehan Aziz (Faisalabad), Ayesha Abdul Sattar (Gujranwala), Hanna Naeem (Hyderabad), Mehwish Imtiaz (Islamabad), Muhammad Shafay (Karachi), Monis Kamran (Karachi), Zafar Ali Wazir (Kohat), Ayesha Iqbal (Lahore), Marvi Jatoi (Larkana), Ejaz Ahmed (Malakand), Waqar Khan (Mardan), Uzma Luqman (Multan), Syed Mohsin Ali Shah (Peshawar), Abdul Ghaffar Khan (Quetta), Sadia Ijaz Abbasi (Rawalpindi), Muhammad Atique Alam Khan (Sargodha), Azhar Ali (Swat), Syed Tasawar Ali Shah (Sukkur), Mohammad Danyal (Mirpur Khas), Sultan Mehmood (Armed Forces Board for Higher Education (GHQ), Rwp) and Mohammad Yousaf (NWFP Board of Technical Education).

I almost made it. I had 3 bits of baseboard left yesterday when our first guests arrived for the Super Bowl party. It all came out pretty good though. The floor was boring, the door was fun and the mantel was draining in the detail required.

Caroline Jordan's interest in small business began at a young age when her family moved to an old farmhouse in Maine and discovered a patch of plump, sweet blackberries in an old pasture. Those blackberries led to the establishment of a berry stand on the side of the road and an early lesson in profiting from the fruits of her labor.
Caroline started her first solo enterprise in college, a combination childcare, resume writing, term paper typing, snow shovelling, etc. business unofficially known as "Almost Anything for a Fee." Over the years she has owned several businesses and started her current business, The Jordan Result, after completing her MBA in 2000.
The Jordan Result operates nationwide offering a combination of consulting, coaching, and training resources to help self employed professionals and business owners increase sales, improve cash flow, enhance their reputations, develop multiple income streams, attract great customers, and create businesses that provide more than just a paycheck.

Mater Dei Prep Receives $250,000 Gift for Science Labs
Thanks to generous gifts from two alumni, the Donald Froude and Edwin "Skip" McLaughlin Science Center is scheduled to open in the 2018-2019 school year. The extensive renovations will transform the existing labs into cutting-edge learning environments for chemistry and biology.
"Mater Dei Prep is very grateful that these 1974 classmates have committed to supporting the creation of our new science center," said Don Galante, President of Mater Dei Prep. "The disciplines of science and technology are valued by colleges as they are the key drivers of 21st century intellectual and economic innovation. Having state-of-the-art facilities significantly enhances the college prep curriculum for Mater Dei Prep students," Galante said. The new center will include islands and workstations with ample worktop space, offering easy access to services like electricity, water and gas, as well as technologies like USB and data ports. The design of the labs will allow teachers to interact seamlessly with students for more effective instruction.
Skip McLaughlin is excited to see the impact his gift will have on the Mater Dei Prep students. "Mater Dei made such a difference in my life," McLaughlin said. "I'm happy to give back to this wonderful institution. I know my gift will help enhance the college prep experience at Mater Dei."
"Philanthropy and community service have always been a major part of the Mater Dei experience," added Don Froude. "As an alumnus, I'm proud to be able to support the school as it continues to provide its students with an exemplary education."
According to Galante, Mater Dei Prep is also developing an advanced curriculum and cocurricular program to best utilize the new facilities. The curriculum will incorporate science and math across all disciplines to teach students to effectively solve problems in everyday life, with a focus on hands-on activities, creative thinking and collaboration. "This curriculum will be more than teaching subject matter," said Galante. "It will be active learning that empowers and inspires students to think creatively to find solutions to problems."
The science lab renovation comes on the heels of other capital improvements the school has made in the past year, including the opening of a writing and math lab supported by the Mater Dei Prep PTO, and the new Emerging Global Leaders Institute made possible through a grant from OceanFirst Foundation.

I had a pretty productive Saturday with this quilt. I was at a stand still until I received MORE Kona Ash fabric in the mail on Friday. This is the second time I ran out of Kona Ash, making it my third purchase.:S As you can see in the photo, the dye lots are different, making it a not so perfect match, even though it is the same fabric. OH,well...............
Elizabeth Hartman. I kind of feel like a traitor using this design as opposed to the many BEAUTIFUL designs that Leah has given us free reign over(sorry Leah). But this design just went so perfectly with the quilt. And with the awesome stippling skills Leah has armed me with, it was very easy for me to stitch out. Ask me to stitch out this design a year ago, I don't think it would have been so easy. THANKS, LEAH!!!!!!
Bloggers Quilt Festival for the 2 color quilt category. I know I can make it!!
That's all for now. I have a few errands to run then back to quilting my heart out!

The Down Low of Fermented Foods & Gut Health
Fermented foods have become somewhat of a hot topic in recent years, with many people touting the health benefits and deliciousness of such foods. I have been interested in the idea of fermented foods for a little while now, but I have held back since it is not something I could really do whilst at boarding school (the smell alone would probably get me kicked out!). I was drawn to fermented foods as I continually read about the link between gut (stomach) health and glowing skin. Given that acne and skin problems have been a major health concern of mine for several years, it seemed only natural that I should investigate these magical fermented foods. But first a little bit about what 'gut' health is and why it is so important... My definition of gut health basically refers to the overall health and balance of the microflora community that live inside your stomach. In your stomach there exists many billions and trillions of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that play a vital role in breaking down food and carrying out other important biological processes. Generally speaking, there is "good" or "friendly" bacteria, which aid digestion, boost your immune system and ensure you are well. Then there is the "bad" bacteria or infections that can cause and contribute to everything from acne, digestive troubles, food intolerances, colds and flus and much more. A balance exists between these good and bad bacteria, as there will always be some of each variety, but when the bad bacteria outweigh the good bacteria you cannot achieve the best possible state of health.
Gut health is quite a complex thing, but it is vital to get your gut healthy as a starting point other health improvements. After all, if your gut isn't working properly you may not even be absorbing all the nutrients and goodness from your healthy, clean and green diet! Gut health is affected by many things, but most prominently chemicals that we encounter in our everyday lives, such as pesticides on food, chlorine, smoke and fumes and especially antibiotics. Overuse or misuse of antibiotics can lead to the creation of very strong, resistant "bad" bacteria in your gut, which then take control of your gut to the detriment of the friendly bacteria. Whilst antibiotics are often useful in short-term situations, in the long-term they can negatively affect your gut, and hence overall, health. I have experienced this first hand, as I have taken antibiotics for acne for most of this year (2014). I only stopped taking them a little over a month ago and now I have turned to fermented foods in order to restore my gut health and recolonise plenty of friendly bacteria!
In order to understand more about gut health I read (and studied) The Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates. Donna is regarded as one of the world's leading experts on probiotic (good bacteria) nutrition and she wrote The Body Ecology Diet as a guide for people wanting to reclaim their health the natural way through food and medicinal foods. Donna's wealth of knowledge in the book is incredible and way too vast for me to even attempt to cover in one post. If you are interested in learning more I would highly recommend reading Donna's book! Basically, the Body Ecology Diet (BED for short) is designed to eradicate bad bacteria and a bad fungus known as candida, which can cause a myraid of health problems from depression to hormonal imbalances. It focuses on eliminating sugar (as sugar feeds the yeast and bad bacteria) and creating balance in each meal between acid and alkaline foods, expansive and contractive foods, cooked and raw foods, and unfermented and fermented foods. The principles at first seem quite complex, but as you read the book you begin to understand them quite innately.
Since I stopped the antibiotics I have been attempting the BED. I say attempting because I have not managed to stick to it perfectly as of yet, especially as I am a lover of fruit, which is eliminated on the BED (even fruit sugar can feed the bad bugs). I have, however, managed to make room for more vegetables in my diet, especially greens and raw veggies, I have added two kinds of fermented foods into my diet (fermented veggies and young coconut kefir) and I have almost completely avoided the starchy grains and processed, refined foods that release sugars that feed bad bacteria. Like almost everything in life, it is a journey that I am venturing on and experimenting with along the way.
To recap: gut health = super important for absolutely everything and everyone! Now back to fermented foods. Fermented foods are essentially those in which good bacteria have been given the right conditions to multiply and colonise, meaning that when you eat those foods you take in a huge quantity of good bacteria that enter your gut and help to restore the inner balance. Different foods are fermented in different ways, but fermented veggies are one of the current trends sweeping the health food stratosphere. Fermented veggies are made by shredding veggies (especially cabbage) and then using salt to create a brine. These veggies are then packed down into jars and sealed to prevent any oxygen entering (which results in fermentation, hence fermented veggies). After three days to a week of allowing them to rest in a warm area (about 25C) the veggies become fermented and then they can be stored in the fridge for up to several months. But the process of creating fermented veggies is a kind of art, that I did not come close to mastering upon my first attempt... Let me explain!
My first attempt at fermented veggies involved a whole head of purple cabbage and kale. I followed the instructions and left them for three days. After that time I opened the jar to a revolting smell (which I presumed was all part of it). Ignoring my instincts I went ahead and attempted to eat some of this brew. There are no words to describe how utterly disgusting it was. Due to the fact that I had never previously eaten fermented veggies I assumed that is what they were meant to taste like and so proceeded to force a few mouthfuls down each day (silly, I know). After a few days I decided enough was enough and sought help from some local fermented veggie experts, who assured me that they should not taste bad, but simply a little sour or tangy. Apparently my jar did not seal properly and so oxygen had gotten in and the veggies had rotted. I threw out my first batch and tried again, this time with purple cabbage, beetroot and carrot. Thankfully, with the assistance of a starter culture and a week of fermenting I was successful in creating a nutritious and perfectly palatable batch of fermented veggies!
So a few hints, if you do decide to try fermented veggies:
1. Make sure the jar you use seals perfectly. No gaps, no cracks, no oxygen should be able to get in. (You can buy fermenting jars from some health food stores). 2. Pack the veggies down very well and cover with enough brine. The brine should rise above the veggies about 3cm so that no veggies are exposed to the air in the top of the jar. 3. Taste: they should taste sour and tangy, but not bad. 4. Find an expert, a guide, a book or some other tool that shows you exactly how to prepare and store fermented veggies so that you can enjoy them on a daily basis.
On a much more pleasant note, the young coconut kefir, which is a drink made from fermenting the milk from young (green) coconuts is delicious and super easy to make. All you need to do is buy some kefir starter sachets from a health food store and two or three young coconuts. Using a hammer and screwdriver, create two or three holes in the top of the coconuts. Drain the milk into a saucepan. Use a large knife or cleaver to cut the coconuts open and scoop the white meat out into a blender. Add a little coconut milk and blend to a paste. Add that to the milk in the saucepan. Turn the stove on and add one sachet of the starter culture. Stir into coconut milk and keep stirring until it reaches body temperature (it feels warm when you put your fingers in it). Then transfer the milk and meat pulp from the saucepan into a large (1-2L) glass jar and seal tightly. Place in a warm spot (20-25C) for 2-3 days to allow it to ferment. To check if it is done, open the jar and smell it. It should have a distinctly sour smell and taste. Place in the fridge to store and enjoy 60-80mL kefir morning and night. The batch of kefir can be used to start two subsequent batches after the first one.
*Note: if you open a coconut to find the meat is purple/pink, it is rotten. Discard it and do not use either the milk or meat in your kefir.
Do you eat fermented foods?
Keep healthy,

If you go to enough yoga classes, you will eventually hear your teacher talk about Ahimsa, the practice of non-violence to self and others. This is one of the Yamas of Yoga as given to us from Patanjali, the person credited with founding yoga. The Yamas are a set of guidelines that explain how we as yogis should interact with the external world.
So what does non-violence to self or others mean? It means not harming yourself or others, but not just by how we traditionally think of "violence," with guns or fists or other weapons. Violence can be surrounding yourself with people who belittle or demean you; eating processed, fried, chemical-laden food; or abusing alcohol or drugs. These are a few of the ways we are violent to ourselves.
Violence to self can also include your yoga practice. Often times in a class, a teacher will tell you to push to your edge but not go beyond. But how can you find your edge, if you don't occasionally go past the edge?
I was violent to myself last night in my yoga teacher training program. As a yoga teacher in training, I of all people, should know better.
In last night's class, we were learning how to do and teach inversion poses, handstand and crow pose. Both are poses that require a significant amount of upper body and core strength. I am still trying to gain back strength in my right arm that was offline for most of last year due to my surgery.
I did the best that I could in all of the poses but I wound up pushing beyond my edge and injuring myself. I imagine I'm not alone in that. Looking back, I should've walked out about halfway through the class.
But I stayed because of my ego, my desire to learn the required poses as part of our teacher training program; my need to conform to the group; my desire to please my teachers and not let them or myself down.
That's the problem, when your ego starts making your decisions, you're not following your true path. That's another valuable life lesson from yoga. I have no plans to ever teach either of those poses. I prefer to teach classes that focus more on Restorative and Gentle yoga practices. I don't believe in putting anyone into a pose that I myself cannot or will not do.
I learned a valuable lesson in Ahimsa last night. As I lay here today in horrible pain, I found and exceeded my edge and yoga and did violence to my body. Also, I allowed my ego to control my actions instead of listening to my heart.
Where do you do violence to yourself? Where do you go beyond your edge and allow your ego to control your actions?
It can be more difficult to follow your heart and practice Ahimsa. You can feel like your letting yourself or others down.
Do you have the strength to live with your heart and follow your true path? Can you practice Ahimsa?

My Grandaughter Kylie
What's For Dessert Tonight?
Kylie had just begun to eat breakfast when she turned to her Mom and asked what they were having for dessert after dinner. Her mother (my daughter) went into a tirade about the fact she had just started eating breakfast! Definitely not a morning person, my daughter asked my granddaughter why the heck she was worrying about an evening dessert when it was 7:00 a.m.?? My granddaughter Kylie said she was just wondering. Her mother replied "dirt...we're having dirt and worms for dessert...sound good?"
Overly Sensitive Genes
My daughter then busied herself with cleaning the kitchen. Unbeknownst to her - my granddaughter was weeping uncontrollably at the table. My son-in-law walked in the kitchen to find Kylie crying. "What's the matter?" he asked. Through inconsolable tears, Kylie reported Mommy was going to make her eat dirt and worms! My son-in-law replied "hmph.." and went to find Mommy.
The Evil Laughter of Two Conniving Parents
My daughter explained to her husband that Kylie had become almost obsessed with sweets. So the two of them set out to teach my sweet, innocent, and angelic granddaughter a lesson. Every hour or so my granddaughter would ask again..."Mommy...Daddy....are we really eating dirt and worms for dessert?" "Yup" they would reply...and the tears began to flow again. How could anyone play such a horrible trick on my sweet, innocent and angelic granddaughter? I never! Okay there was one time when I left a letter to an adoption agency up on my computer monitor - for nosy, misbehaving children to read. The letter insisted the agency place my children in separate families, because they just couldn't get along with each other. But really - nothing as heinous as this!
Dinner Time
After the longest day in history, Kylie sat down to dinner with her family. Her head was held low. In a joyous tone my daughter asked " is everyone ready for some yummy dirt and worms????" My son-in-law said "oh yes...I can't wait!" Kylie said "well...I'm not eating dessert tonight ..." My daughter asked "oh...are you sure you don't want dessert?" My granddaughter affirmed her decision. Mommy then passed out cups of pudding with crushed Oreo cookies with gummy worms crawling out of them! After pouting a bit...Kylie joined in all the laughter and had some dessert. Sometimes not worrying about dessert - is for the best!

Motorists, specifically motorcyclists, should always be on the lookout for debris because scattered nails, trashes, and screws can cause them to lose control of their vehicle. In addition, debris can also cause motorcyclists to suddenly swerve or break, thus increasing the risks of an accident.
A Sacramento police officer recently sustained a minor injury after his motorcycle suddenly went out from under him.
According to reports, the accident happened along Richards Boulevard and Third Street.
The police officer was facing north along Third Street at the signal and was preparing to turn towards westbound along Richards Boulevard. When he started to turn, his motorcycle slid and went down due to debris on the road.
He was brought to a local hospital to be treated for a minor injury to his left ankle.

Rich women in hats
No, that doesn't exactly describe (in dollars, anyway) the two of us that you see here, but we sure were surrounded by 'em.
My dear friend, Julie whom also happens to be my rep at Portland Monthly Magazine honored me with an invitation to "Hats Off To The Hill:" a benefit for OHSU Women's Health Center. Held at the Portland Art Museum, this event raises money for free tests and services for women without health care benefits. The proceeds usually end up serving between two and three hundred women and save many lives in the course of a year.
Anyhoo, I'm not a name-dropper or anything so I won't tell you who sat on the other side of me, or who was at the table next to ours, or who opened the donating "auction." Let's just say, even I knew who they were and, being the complete hick that I am, I don't know anybody!
Ok, ok. I was this far away from Arlene Schnitzer's cute little self, but that's all I'm sayin'.
It was really fun and a great cause to get to support, even if it was just with my presence. They opened the donating at $25 Grand... um, kinda steep for my checkbook at the moment.
Also, a big "Thanks, Girlfriend!" goes out to Angelina for providing my stylish chapeau! I may never take it off.
Thanks for the fun afternoon in the Big City, Jules!

I'm so jealous! I always tell Jeff that I need to live someplace where people actually wear hats that aren't baseball. He suggested that I buy a plane ticket to the 1930s.
However, my hair is growing out really strangely and it could use a good hat to cover all its weird angles. I don't think I could pull it off with my usual uniform of sweat pants and a t-shirt, though.
Anyway, you look marvelous!
PS- you need to stop by my blog and comment on Jeff's medically themed poem that I put up today (even though it's probably a case of TMI) because he's concerned that nobody's left a comment yet.
Miss you.

This week I discuss the importance of staying within yourself and not becoming too high or too low in the battle of everyday life.
Unfortunately, with Labor Day weekend come and gone, summer is all but over. The warm weather, the days at the lake, the days at the ballpark, have come to an end. The worst part about summer is that it comes to an end. However, perhaps we wouldn't appreciate summer as much if we had it all-year round. While I transition from baseball to football, I would like to pass on a piece of advice I was given the other day that translates from sports into life very well.
"Never get too high or too low." This is something I find myself guilty of quite often honestly. For the sake of the season, let's use football. In football, like many sports, games are full of momentum and swings. A long touchdown run with the team playing great defense, hitting on all cylinders, can quickly be flipped over with a turnover like a fumble or an interception. So, how do we find the middle ground? How do we stay emotionally stable by not getting too high or too low?
"Find joy in the journey." Seems simple enough, no? In the heat of the moment, when life is moving so quickly, running from place to place, it is easy to forget. We have all had ups and downs in life. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I admit that as I have gotten older, this has gotten easier, it is still difficult though. I try to remind myself to think big picture. Life on earth as we know it is so small and so short, we truly do not realize it, until it is too late. As I've grown older, I find myself saying "this too shall pass." It is so important to have the perspective that we must not be too discouraged in our low moments and we also must not be too impressed with ourselves when things are going well. Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, so it seems. I have gotten lost in the transition of life from time to time, I am hard on myself, I realize nobody is perfect, but while also getting lost, I think a person finds themselves as well.
I am going to attempt something different here. I am going to try and get game recaps up online ASAP. This way our readers can get the summary much quicker than a week later. The paper edition of the recaps will be a tad shorter, but with an additional game preview of the upcoming game. I am also excited to say that I will be doing feature articles on former Sleepy Eye student-athletes. Basically a little check-in of what some of our former athletes are up to these days at college. I have received commitments from Matt Berkner, Nate Schroepfer, Madi Heiderscheidt, and many more. So stay tuned! I am very excited for this piece.
I am back on Twitter, so you can follow me there for in-game updates @StreichSESports

Bassahi Burgers | Horse Meat Recipe
|An outdoor cookout (roast) of horse meat.
"I'm so hungry, I could eat a... "
Even better, based on Biology growth of Animals, horses produce muscle mass quicker making them a better choice than even cows for society and a good eat to boot. So all that leaves is the horse meat recipe, which is also quite delicious to make of any animal you can grind up in your kitchen:
NY TIMES - Berlin, July 23 1905 - The considerable increase in the prices of beef, mutton, and pork throughout the empire gives occasion to the trade organ of the German butchers to draw attention to the ever-increasing use of horseflesh as an article of diet. Horseflesh is more free from parasites than beef and pork, and richer in nutrient. It is only sentiment (says the trade journal) which leads so many persons to object to it. Horseflesh dealers are unable to execute all the orders which reach them.
Horse meat is commonly sold at grocer's in Japan.
In Berlin there are 200 slaughterhouses for horses, and in the suburbs fifty, employing about 1,000 men. The Berlin municipality intends shortly to provide a large central slaughter house. One of Hamburg's best known products is horseflesh sausages. The industry has already been in existence for fifty years. A considerable quantity of these sausages, it might be mentioned, are exported as beef sausages. Probably 6,000 horses are slaughtered every year in Hamburg for food. Not long ago in Berlin the owner of a certain restaurant invited about fifty of his friends to a banquet, at which dishes of beef and horseflesh were served, and only six of those present were able to distinguish between the roast beef and the roast horse.
A1 Style Bassahi Horse Burger RecipeIngredients:
|Here in another country, horse meat is being prepared.
- hamburger buns
- ground horse meat (or beef, rabbit, or zebra)
- sliced mushrooms
- cheese (Swiss, Gruyere, or sharp cheddar)
- sliced onions
- butter
- A1 brand steak sauce
- lettuce
- tomato Slices
- mayonnaise
- salt and pepper
- Sauté sliced onions and mushrooms with butter over medium-high heat.
- Cook horse patties till medium well and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Melt your favorite cheese on top.
- Top with mushrooms, lettuce and tomato.
- Add mayonnaise to the bun lid, and smother in A-1
Of course these are a hoot at your next neighborhood cook-out. Don't tell anyone what's in them till the rave reviews are in, then spring it on them that it's a delicious horse burger.
Horse, it's what's for dinner.

Commentary and Talking Points for Shavuot Weekend
Countering the Family Values Monopoly
By Rabbi David Ellenson, President of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, February 6, 2004
In his State of the Union address, President Bush signaled his intent to make "family values" a centerpiece of the 2004 presidential campaign.
His belief that "the sanctity of the family" needs to be defended from the "threat" that gay and lesbian couples ostensibly pose to heterosexual family units is hardly surprising. After all, when asked about same-sex unions after a court decision that affirmed the constitutionality of same-sex marriage, the president commented, "We are all sinners."
The very language the president employed then indicates that his religious views play a significant role in the public-policy position he has adopted on this matter, and the role that religious fundamentalism has played in setting the terms for this debate in the public square is unquestionably considerable. In taking the stance he did, President Bush displayed the impact that the Traditional Values Coalition and allied conservative religious groups — including Jewish ones — that have long been at the forefront of the fight against the advancement of rights and options for gays and lesbians in our society has had upon him. Continued at the website of Clergy for Fairness, www.clergyforfairness.org, which is campaigning against the Federal Marriage Amendment.
Union for Reform Judaism Advocacy Week Talking Points
The Union for Reform Judaism, which opposes the marriage amendment, encouages using "I" language, like that below, when advocating for its defeat.
As a Reform Jew, I take to heart the Jewish teaching that we are created, b'tselem Elohim, in the image of God. We must value tolerance and the acceptance of others.
There's an important difference between religious marriage and civil marriage and this amendment threatens BOTH.
This is an issue of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY:
This amendment would harm children:
The Marriage Metaphor of Shavuot
by Rabbi Haim Dov Beliak, JewsOnFirst.org, May 31, 2006
The festival of Shavuot (June 1-3, 2006) employs a metaphor for the relationship between God and the Jewish People called "marriage," symbolized by referring to the Torah as the Ketubah - a written marriage covenant. God and the Jews are symbolically married! Our definition of marriage is not covered by Congress's badly named Marriage Protection Amendment, nor are the symbolic marriages of Catholic religious orders.
Historically, religious marriages of all kinds exist with no reference to what civil authorities ordain.
In the traditional Ketubah, the families of the bride and groom would negotiate what practical arrangements were supplied to the marriage - pots, linens, trust funds, apprenticeship, etc. The religious significance was framed by the actual ceremony under the Huppah and the lived-out relationship of the marriage partners. Over time, Judaism has sought to emphasize equality and love as the religious significance of marriage.
When Jews agreed to register marriages with civil authorities in the modern world, the authority of religion and the authority of the state were separated. In the event of a divorce the financial details of divorces required the state's authorities and then religious expression. The religious meaning of marriage was the purview of Judaism but the material issues were adjudicated by the state. That is what we call the Enlightenment "deal."
At this time, the Senate's attempt to legislate "marriage" by a constitutional amendment is an imposition of a narrow and sectarian definition by right-wing Christian activists . The amendment is also an expression of power by the majority that does not respect minority views.
Americans United for the Separation of Church and State
The institutions of government and religion must be kept separate for the benefit of both. While there has traditionally been some interaction between the two in regard to marriage law, Americans United believes it is serious mistake to compound that entanglement by writing the marriage practices of one segment of the religious community into the Constitution.

The originated in Spain as transportable writing cases, and therefore crop up in old inventories as writing tables. From the last quarter of the 16th century onwards they became the epitome of European high-art furniture. In the course of the 16th and 17th centuries the cabinet became the barometer of continually changing fashions in materials and decor. The newest, costliest and most imaginative materials and methods were applied and tried out on it first. Our example has a cunning inner life, with drawers, secret compartments and a further little pull-out cabinet within a cabinet. The marquetry, with its landscapes with ruins and strap work ornaments is typical for South Germany of that time, the representation of linear perspective having an important decorative role to play.

World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies - Its global agenda
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
The World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS) is an international body that brings together international expertise, experience, and influence to improve the outcomes of children suffering from life-threatening illness and injury. Its mission is educational, scientific, and charitable in nature. WFPICCS is committed to a global environment, in which all children have access to intensive and critical care of the highest standard. It exists to find ways of improving the care of critically ill children throughout the world, and making that knowledge available to those who care for such children. As in an ideal world all children should have access to state of the art critical care services, this is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Faced with this reality, the member societies of the WFPICCS will strive to develop the best model and provide the best care for critically ill and injured children worldwide. The challenge is to find the appropriate role that we need to (and can effectively) play in decreasing both unnecessary death and suffering for children. Clearly, we cannot achieve these goals on our own, hence WFPICCS visualizes close cooperation and collaboration with other agencies offering care to critically ill or injured children such as the World Health Organization, World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine, International Pediatric Associations, and regional organizations and programs to achieve our objectives. We feel that this document while imperfect is a good starting point and hope that it will stimulate more discussion to guide the agenda of the federation for years to come. © 2009 The Society of Critical Care Medicine and the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies.

Admitting mistakes to patients won't automatically increase malpractice costs, researchers found.
After implementation of a program to fully disclose medical errors and offer compensation for them, average monthly costs for total liability dropped across one health system by a rate ratio of 0.41 compared with the period before the program (95% confidence interval 0.26 to 0.66).
Moreover, compensation paid to patients for errors and other legal costs dropped just as dramatically, reported Allen Kachalia, MD, JD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and colleagues.
These results challenge the traditional reluctance to admit mistakes out of fear of being sued for malpractice.
"The openness and accompanying patient safety efforts may satisfy patients for whom litigation was formerly their only alternative," Kachalia's group wrote in the Aug. 17 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Even if it doesn't, such a program addresses some of the shortcomings of the current liability system, such as long waits for compensation and high administrative costs, they suggested.
Also, "disclosure may actually reduce another inefficiency of the malpractice system: preventing both meritorious and nonmeritorious claims from becoming expensive lawsuits," they added in the paper.
Although this private-sector program is a promising development, the study could not determine causality of the benefits due to the before-and-after design, cautioned A. Russell Localio, JD, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, in an accompanying editorial.
Localio explained that wider adoption of this kind of disclosure program would be unlikely until further evidence proves a benefit in efficient compensation for injured patients and greater promotion of safety to avoid future injuries.
The University of Michigan Health System had used a traditional approach of waiting to receive claims for compensation that would be assigned to defense lawyers and reviewed by a claims management committee to advise on settling or going to trial.
But in July 2001, the system switched to admitting fault and offering compensation whenever internal investigation revealed medical error, while also defending against claims when no error was found by the investigation.
Kachalia's group retrospectively examined outcomes of the program comparing claims before the program back to 1995, through to full implementation in February 2003, and out to 2007.
After full implementation, new claims fell from an average monthly rate of 7.03 to 4.52 per 100,000 patient encounters (rate ratio 0.64, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.95).
Lawsuits dropped, too, from an average monthly rate of 2.13 before July 2001 to 0.75 per 100,000 patient encounters after February 2003 (RR 0.35, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.58).
But the number of claims that didn't result in a lawsuit didn't rise after full implementation of the program (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.52 to 1.14), nor was there any change after initial implementation (P=0.108).
Instead, it appeared to accelerate the claim resolution process, dropping the median time from claim reporting to resolution from 1.36 to 0.95 years (P<0.001).
Costs showed similar patterns, falling after the initial program implementation overall (P=0.014), as did legal costs (P=0.004) and patient compensation (P=0.024).
After full implementation, total costs associated with lawsuits decreased substantially (RR 0.27, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.54), though total costs for non-lawsuit claims did not (RR 0.81, 95% CI 0.47 to 1.38).
The researchers cautioned about the lack of a concurrent control group, but noted that the results outperformed predicted cost savings from 2003 to 2008 by about 39%.
However, the editorialists also noted that the system did not distinguish between claims from patients and family versus those initiated by the health system itself. "This distinction is vital if the ideal is a health system that monitors its care and discloses its errors voluntarily before a patient's claim," they wrote.
Nationally, physician insurer companies had reported a relatively stable proportion of claims receiving payment and compensation costs over this period, although the state of Michigan showed a decline in number of reported claims from 2000 through 2007, which includes time before the new policy was implemented.
The University of Michigan results would likely only generalize to systems that offer compensation to patients rather than disclosing errors without such an offer, Kachalia's group added.
The study was funded by the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation.
Kachalia reported having received funds from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation through the University of Michigan, including travel funds; he also reported pending grant funds from the University of Michigan.
Localio reported having graduated from the University of Michigan and having served as director of research (1984 to 1987) for Risk Management Foundation, which provides risk management, claims management, and professional liability defense services for Harvard University and institutions and physicians affiliated with Harvard.

When I started Spoonshine in January this year, I thought that taking the photographs would be the easiest part of it all. I naively thought that it was all about creating lovely food, and that the photos would speak for themselves. But I soon discovered that creating great dishes will only get you halfway there. Which is why I found myself having a little existential crisis a few posts in, when I couldn't work out why on earth my pictures hadn't turned out like I'd hoped they would!
It wasn't because I didn't know how to operate a camera. In my day job as a TV producer I use stills and video cameras all the time. I know my f-stops from my ISOs and how to manage my depth of field, exposure and focus. But all of that wasn't enough to help me take beautiful shots of my food.

text: The road bike is commonly associated with bike racing. It is professionals bike of choice because it is lightweight, has smaller gears, is aerodynamic, and because it has thinner tires. A road bike can also be a great commuter bike for anyone who would normally bike to work or use it for transportation. The bike is designed to be ridden on smooth roads. That is why it has the thin tires and lightweight frame. They are not designed to go off road because the bumps will hurt your bike. The small tires don't give you much cushion on bigger bumps. These bumps can bend your rims or your spokes. This will cause your wheel to be off balance. It can also be dangerous to ride a rode bike on gravel because the tires will be very smooth. One can lose traction and wipeout. The tires are thin because thinner tires have less rolling resistance. That way you can go faster and coast longer. The handle bars are very different from normal straight ones. They curve into a U-shape. These handle bars allow one to bend over further so that they are more aerodynamic. The handle bars are also a lot narrower. This makes the ride more comfortable. On a normal mountain bike there are larger gears. That is because there are usually more hills to climb. Roads are typically flat. Road bikes have smaller gears because they aren't made for climbing hills; they are made for speed. The smaller gears will allow one to go faster. Road bikes are generally more expensive because of the lightweight frame. Overall this bike is made for roads use and should not be taken out on trails unless specifically modified.

Happy Birthday!
Here are a few things that Stella is into these days. I am mostly doing this for my own needs so that I can remember what she was like at her 1 year old.
- She loves to laugh, she laughs at funny things on tv or when anyone makes a funny face. It's hillarious!
-She doesn't like to be left alone, when one of us walks out of the room she screams. But then finds herself happy as a clam moments later.
-She is a momma's girl, she can say mom!
-Her best friend is Chesney, they can play all day if I'd let them.
-She is very calm and takes in everything around her.
-I can let her sit on a blanket outside and she won't move from the blanket because she hates the feel of the grass.
-She gets so excited she shakes and clinches her teeth, probably the cutest thing ever.
-She can stand assisted and army crawls with the best of them.
Happy Birthday Stella!!!
Love you~

Grateful for my girl....
I will be the first one to admit that I thought I was unfit to have children in this world!! I didn't have much experience when I was growing up with infants and I was always just trying to adjust to the new family environments I was put in, so little time went into dreaming about becoming a mother. I never had a "real" sister, yes many step sisters (6 to be exact) some of them were and are still great! But I never really had that sisterly bond or opportunity to have a relationship like that with family. I guess that is why I was always involved with some type of "girl" organization, dance, cheer, pageants and many great "girl" friendships. So when I found out I was having a girl I was shocked and scared, didn't think I would connect with her or know how to have a relationship with her. Boy was I wrong!!!!
I was sent Stella for many reasons and I am loving finding out new reasons all the time. Tonight was one of them. I always wanted those famous- boys go out to priesthood and girls get to have dinner, girl talks go shopping nights during conference while growing up. Well after hearing today's conference talk on the importance of Mother and Daughter relationships I thought "What am I waiting for!" So Stella and I had a girl's night out! So fun and of course not a lot was involved but all I can say is how grateful I am for my little girl. I look forward to more fun mom/daughter events. Tonight was one of those nights that you stand back and think.... "Oh that's why Heavenly Father did that." I love this time of year, love conference and love my Stella!

Hey, guys! So I've been M.I.A. My most sincere apologies. April brought its fair share of challenges and I was in and out a lot. Nevertheless the saga must continue, right?
Satan was confused at first, then he realized. Above! Naturally, he could sense his prey from almost anywhere especially when that prey gave off such annoying amounts of radiant, positive energy. He breathed out, sending balls of fire racing towards Christ. Christ was too close to dodge all of those but, for good measure, he punched the air with his fists, setting off a shockwave of pure wind to speed them on their way. Christ's sword and shield vanished immediately, leaving Him bare-handed. He had but a few seconds to react. He waved His hands before Him, one going up, the other down, as if miming a wall. Instantly a triple-layered wall materialized, made up of two thick screens of water sandwiching a block of ice. It stayed before ever Him, falling with Him. The first layer of water quenched the first fireballs, the ice halted the wind and the second layer of water served as a sure-stop for any remaining attacks.
The king of demons roared in disgust and jumped back to avoid the pillars of water and stakes of ice coming at him. Christ had turned defense into attack and He also didn't need to see His foe to determine his location. With great dexterity the fallen angelic captain dodged and evaded all incoming attacks. Christ landed, allowing the ice and water to dissipate. He coughed up more blood and temporarily slackened His stance. Satan saw his chance to attack.
"This world has been mine to control since the time of Adam! Even the elements obey me! And in your weakened state, how will You handle this?"
Suddenly the earth started to open below Christ. Instantly He sped away but the fissures kept following Him. Realizing the futility of running, He jumped, launching Himself straight towards Lucifer. Above! He heard the warning in His head and twisted around, facing upward as He flew. He knew what was coming before He saw it. Instantly He summoned His shield and raised it at the very moment the attack started. Lightning descended upon the shield in bolt after bolt. Foresight had saved Him. He whispered a prayer of thanks. The Shield of Faith did the trick, neutralizing the blows. But the force of the attacks pushed Him toward the ground which opened up and swallowed Him. Then stalagmites were attacking Him from everywhere.
Lucifer laughed. He had the advantage now. Christ had been getting progressively weaker. The strain of His physical existence under such dismal conditions as at this very moment on the cross plus the mental trauma and the heavy weight He had to carry now were all affecting His state of being in the spirit realm. He had to admit: had he taken on Christ any earlier than this, he would not have been able to go toe to toe with Him like he was now. In 33-and-a-half years he had taken Him on several times personally but had been faced with no greater chance of success than now. He could really win!
His smile was slowly erased. Suddenly he could sense Christ's energy coming closer. He stared at the ground, wondering what was happening down there, then gasped as the ground exploded and he saw the tip of a sword aimed at his face coming through the cloud of dust. So fast! It was all he could do to move his head to the right, thereby sustaining a tiny cut on the left cheek. He jumped back and howled in pain. Even the tiniest of cuts from the Sword of the Spirit could deliver excruciating pain to the unfortunate victim. He pressed his hand to the cut and glared at the dust cloud, shooting beams from his eyes in his anger. Why did it seem Christ was getting faster and not slower? He shouldn't have been able to react to an attack like that in time…!
His eyes almost popped out of his head as he saw the figure of Christ — darting about adroitly and quickly evading the countless beams with such speed that it seemed He quite disappeared from time to time — closing in on him all the while. But how? He should be getting weaker!
Christ stretched out His hand and the sword suddenly stretched and shot forward, becoming a thin, long sword instead of a broad short sword. Satan could only watch it speed towards and impale him — all this had happened in nothing more than the briefest of seconds and he was still airborne, in the middle of the jump backward he had made to avoid Christ earlier. The sword pierced his lower abdomen, but not too deeply. It lodged itself into the demon's hard outer casing. Then it contracted, pulling him toward Christ swiftly. He changed form as he approached, shrinking several sizes till he stood a bit over 6 feet. His rough scales and warts faded. The feral, rugged features left him. He became once again the Lucifer of old: glowing, beautiful skin and hair; handsome features; immaculate dress; dazzling wings. The picture of elegance. The most beautiful among the angelic race. But Christ noticed his eyes still had that cold hatred about them even in this form.
The sword had left the demon's body but, strangely enough, he couldn't move. Then he realized why. Christ had rested His palm on his abdomen. The hand was glowing a bright gold. He was a prisoner. "You've got me…Master…" he said bitterly. "I failed. Again."
Christ surveyed the work of His hands. "You were destined to fail, dear child. Such beauty you had… You had it all. Power. Riches. Respect. Adoring subordinates. Love." Lucifer cringed at that last word. "Yes, Lucifer, love. You had that too. And because you know what it is and how powerful it is, having once had it and lived in its presence, you have dedicated yourself to erasing it from inside you and, indeed, from the universe. You want nothing to do with it. You now see it as a nuisance."
Christ fell silent for a while. Then He started again. "There's much that can be said. But hardly anything you don't already know. So I will not debate with you as I did in the beginning. I will not plead with you now as then. I know your heart and you have firmly decided you want to destroy Me. You want what was never yours to have. What it is impossible to have. And look as I may, I can find not one instant in the future, near or distant, where you will come to ask Me for mercy and mend your ways. Not one. So I'll let you have it your way. I'll leave you to your fate. Though you must know there can be no hope for you in the end. None."
He paused and an expression of supreme agony and sadness stole across His face. He still loved him. Lucifer was still a beloved son. But He could not, would not force him. His next words to the demon hurt Him far more than the pain He had been enduring since the previous night: "I have nothing more to say to you. Begone."
He tightened the grip of His fingers on Lucifer's abdomen and lifted him into the air using some unseen force. The ancient demon glowered at Him. "I hate You…" he spat. The statement cut Christ to His very core. But there was no helping it.
"I've loved you from the very beginning, and always will," said Christ sadly. Then He blasted the demon away on the end of a powerful surge of blinding light. He would see him again soon, He knew. But for now He had secured victory.
He fell to His knees and coughed up more blood. He looked to the sky. "Father," He whispered weakly. "The hour has come. Do it quickly." And with that, the darkness took Him and abject terror racked His soul.
It had begun!

You've heard me rave on about Gorilla Food, a little living foods take-away place in downtown Vancouver. Well... I'm pleased to note that others are finding out how great this place is... Here's a little write up in this month's Shared Vision magazine. (this is a local, alternative, health-oriented mag found free all over town.)
Vancourites, here's Gorilla Food's website, including their downloadable menu. They're open Mon-Fri, 11-6.
Written by Shared Vision's Trish Kelly
If you're downtown running errands and hankering for a good smoothie, don't blink. If you do, you may miss the takeaway window called Gorilla Food at 422 Richards (at Hastings).
Located outside what was once an antique mall, Gorilla is a small establishment with a big agenda.
Owner Aaron Ash sees the window service as the first step in a plan to provide raw, organic, and locally sourced prepared meals, catering, and home delivery to the enlightened Vancouverite. It's ambitious, but it's obvious he means it.
My hefty 16-ounce Hempnotik Almond Shake was served in a biodegradable container made from sugar fibres.
More substantial offerings include a rotating menu of soup, wraps, lasagna, and pizza.
Ok, it's me again, Rawkin'... ;) I can't say enough about this place and the delicious foods they serve up. Aaron's been so friendly and encouraging, even if our entire acquaintance plays out through a little cut out window. I just love knowing this guy is in the raw foods community. Great vibe, and I really see his vision taking off, and ya know, I want to support that anyway I can. Telling you all about it is my little contribution.

Olive and Pumpkin, originally uploaded by littlegirlPearl.
Here is another inspired choice. I love using colors that are ignored in the world of girl. Pink is great. Pink is lovely. But I get tired of it! These unusual colors will stand out in a sea of pink, and is great for those darker winter days.

David Cherrie was the hero Gotham City were looking for as he scored late on against Pumpherston Thistle to secure a 3-2 victory at Gyle Park.
City struck first in this Sunday Morning League encounter. Barry Davidson's cross found Kevin Fitz and despite protests from the Pumphy defence, his header was deemed to have crossed the line by the referee.
Thistle hit back ten minutes later with a goal of their own. A hopeful ball forward found Michael McCusker and he sent through Murray Milne to fire past Gotham keeper Chris Evans.
However, it wasn't enough to deter City as they found a second of the game soon after. Fitz this time turned provider as he played in Cherrie for his first of the game.
After the break Pumphy again replied and this time it was thanks to a little help from their opponents. Cameron Tully's cross-cum-shot from the right deceived Evans as the ball sailed over his head and into the back of the net.
Cherrie then stepped up as Gotham's saviour in injury time as he spun and finished past Pumphy goalie Andrew Stears to grab the points for his side.
• LEAFA newcomers FC Oceana continued their unbeaten start in Edinburgh East with a convincing 6-1 win over Civil Service Strollers at Gyle Park.
After a delayed kick-off because both sides had turned up in white jerseys, Oceana soon had a goal to their name as Kal Uheida headed home.
Ross Davies then netted a double as Oceana turned on the style. They further extended their lead as Uheida added another with a driving run into the area before slotting in.
Strollers were afforded a brief moment of respite when they pulled one back through trialist Josh Foggo but it wasn't to be the beginning of an epic comeback. Davies picked up his hattrick to quash any slim hopes their opponents had before Jamie Campbell came off the bench to add Oceana's sixth of the afternoon.
• Edinburgh Rose maintained their promising start to the season with a comfortable 5-1 win in the Logan Cup first round over Salters Athletic at Duddingston Playing Fields.
Jamie Stewart found the back of the net with a penalty early on in the fixture to give Rose the ideal start. However, they were quickly brought back down to earth moments later when Marc Finney seized upon a loose ball upfield to fire in for Athletic.
Despite that, Rose rallied before the close of the first half and they grabbed two more to put themselves in a strong position for the second 45. Alan Smith restored their lead with a header before Michael Kustra showed composure to round the Athletic keeper and send the ball in for 3-1.
Salters were giving it their all to restrict their opponents, but were helpless as Rose upped the anti in the second half to add two more. Gary Hill followed up Darren Smith's initial shot to further extend the winning margin before Smith sent through Stuart Morrison to fire in for number five. With that, the icing was on the cake for Rose as they secured another victory for the season.
