Mr. Du is a Chronic Renal Failure patient, 35 years old, from Hebei province, China. A few days ago, he lost appetite suddenly. In the town hospital, he did checkup that Creatinine was 800umol/L.
Taking 7 days of treatment in local hospital, the symptoms had no improvement. He changed hospital. The doctor suggested him accept Hemodialysis, but he refused. Finally, he came to our hospital for a try.
His creatinine level was 700umol/L with high blood pressure, poor appetite, blurred vision and fatigue. Mr. Du communicated with the doctor and said he did not want to do Dialysis. And then doctor applied one of characteristic Toxin-Removing Treatment to him—Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a perfect combination of technology and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This therapy uses the curative effects of medicines to help them permeate into the damaged kidney effectively through the permeability of skin. External application combined with oral treatments eliminates the toxins and wastes together.
A week of Chinese treatment, his blood pressure was normal, appetite became better and better, vision improved a lot. Half a month passed, Mr. Du felt very comfortable and the creatinine reduced to 406 from 700. He said fortunately he came here for treatment and reduced the creatinine without dialysis.
Here we would like to tell you that during the treatment process, taking suitable and effective treatment is necessary and essential, do not let the Kidney Disease in early stage turn to incurable disease.

This past Saturday I took a book back to the library that I literally had checked out six times to finish it. Each check-out is three weeks long and you're only allowed to renew a book twice. That's nine weeks and I couldn't finish the damn thing! I had to turn it back in—relinquish it to the library, let them check it in, and then stalk the reshelving area so that I could check it out again and again…and yet again. So, yep, I held the book hostage for a total of eighteen weeks. I'm not proud but at least I didn't incur any fines.
It's not that the book was bad but for some reason I couldn't push myself to just sit down and read it. It usually doesn't take me that long to read a book. Not even if it's bad. And I'm quite embarrassed to even admit it took me over four months to finish one. The author wasn't someone I had read before and I had gotten it because it was a top-ranked suspense/thriller. How ironic—a suspense that wasn't exactly keeping me suspended. I would get through a chapter, put the book down and get caught up with other things for a few days. Then I would remember that I still needed to read this book for which time was ticking towards the due date. I couldn't even blame it on reading another book at the same time, which I sometimes do.
I could have easily given up but I was determined I was going to finish it. I wasn't going to let it beat me. Plus I didn't want all those previous renewals to have been for naught.
I hit a good stride about midway to three-fourths through. Needless to say when I was finally finished, I was elated to drop that puppy in the return slot and walk away. Of course, I had no intentions of checking anything else out because I had already started reading a juicy romance, one of twelve books waiting in queue on my Kindle. It was a nice change from the intense thriller that I had committed my life to the last few months. Welp, (yes, I said welp) I couldn't just walk away from the library without looking around. No harm in looking, right?
Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm a book junkie. That means I can't leave the library without something in my little navy blue canvas bag with Friends of FCPL printed on the front. Why else would I have ever purchased said bag?
Before I knew what was happening, I was skipping out the front door with three books, all by another author I wasn't familiar with.
Three weeks, three books. Should be easy-peasy, right? Hopefully I won't be writing another blog post of how I held these books captive.
Have you ever had trouble finishing a book, good or bad? Have you ever held a borrowed book prisoner?

Simple to use and understand. Include Reiki music for relaxation and spiritual development. Good introduction to basic principles.Cons
Claims appear overblown. Negative comments on forums especially around a) the amount of time it takes to become a master and b) claims of healing.Verdict
Could be useful for an introduction to Reiki but my research suggests that the product does not live up to the claims made by the promoter.
"Usui Reiki Healing Master" by Bruce Wilson - REVIEW
The practice of Reiki was developed by a Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui, and uses the technique of palm healing or hands on healing to transfer universal energy (which is what the word Reiki means) - allowing the body to 'self heal.'
Now you would think that this practice would take years to develop and require the tutorage of a Master.
That's what Bruce Wilson, developer of Usui Reiki Healing Master thought.
However you can, he says, become a skilled healer with the ability to heal yourself and others. A Reiki Master.
So lets learn about his story.
Bruce says that for years he was plagued by depression and anxiety, and that the drugs he was prescribed did nothing to help.
His wife persuaded him to visit a Reiki healer at the local church.
'Something happened!' he says. 'As soon as he touched me, I felt like some energy was radiating from his hands. The tension of anxiety and depression left my body.'
Following this experience Bruce attended Reiki classes himself and learned that Reiki is not 'learned in the usual sense, but transferred from a Reiki Master to his student, also that Reiki use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone.'
We can all tap into the chi, the energy. It heals wonderfully - even better than nutritional supplements.
Bruce continued to study and received his 'Level 1 Attunements' - but he was still unable to 'heal myself and others.' He was then told to undertake Reiki level 2.
To cut a long story short, he stuck with the classes, believing in the power of Reiki ('I was living proof of that') but became concerned that the Reiki classes were 'just a way to rob people out of their money.'
And the 'truth' according to Bruce, outlined in Usui Reiki Healing Master, is that 'You are already a Reiki Master.'
So you don't need to pay for expensive classes.
'Ive created a Reiki Program thatll show you exactly how to become a Reiki Master in just hours,' says Bruce.
The program, he says, will teach you the most effective way to unify the body, mind, and spirit and allow the body to heal itself.
You will also learn how to reduce blocks in energy flow, increase spiritual growth, and combat anxiety and depression.
He has put everything he knows into an 'easy-to-use' system which can be completed (or 'transitioned' in 48 hours) and perfected in a few weeks.
'Thanks for creating a system that is not only easy to follow but also effective,' says one endorsement on the Usui Reiki Healing
Master website. 'I have suggested it again and again to my friends who were interested in Reiki. I am sure that they will be just as satisfied as I am.'
The package includes 120 minutes of 'authentic Reiki music' - very sought after, apparently, because real Reiki music has to be made by a Reiki Master who is also a composer.
And Bruce Wilson promises ongoing email support.
All for $47.
Does this sound too good to be true?
Well independent reports agree. 'Reiki is a life-long journey,' said one. ...In the West, people are inclined to look for quick fixes rather than a longer commitment to Spiritual well-being. There is no quick fix. Taking a four hour course in Reiki is not going to put you in a place where your Body, Mind, Soul and intellect are in balance. This requires time, practice, intent and communion with the Universe which is the ultimate Master.'
However not everyone dismissed the Usui Reiki Healing master quite so easily.
'Using the Bruce Wilson method will give you a starter. It may well give you the confidence to carry on doing Reiki,' says one commentator.
But they, too, agree that, 'this is no substitute for a life-long way of being. Doing a course with a living Master allows you to meet people who are like-minded.'
And others are skeptical of the promises made around healing. 'No Reiki master nor simple practitioner can promise you that he will heal anything - healing is very complex,' said one forum contributor.
So it seems that the claims (on some review sites) that 'getting your Masters in the shortest time possible... is really easy given the clarity of the program,' are overblown.
CB Engine, the independent analytics company that records statistics on products marketed on the internet, records a refund rate of 6.86% for this product, which is average. Meaning that some people were satisfied with the product, and some weren't.
So as an introduction to Reiki principles and methods, this product could be useful and if this is what you are looking for then the Usui Reiki Healing program could be for you.
Just don't bank on becoming a Master in 48 hours.

The Libbey-Owens-Ford Company (LOF) was a producer of flat glass for the automotive and building products industries both for original equipment manufacturers and for replacement use. The company's headquarters and main factories were located in Toledo, Ohio, with large float glass plants in Rossford, Ohio, Laurinburg, North Carolina, Ottawa, Illinois, and Lathrop, California. The company was formed by the merger of Libbey-Owens' flat-glass operation with the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company, both located in Toledo, in 1930.[1] [2]
The company's heritage dates back to 1818 with the founding of New England Glass Company of East Cambridge, Massachusetts, which relocated to Toledo, Ohio and in 1892 changed its name to Libbey Glass Company[2] under the direction of Edward Drummond Libbey. In parallel, Michael Owens and associates completed work in 1902 on the first fully functioning automatic bottle-blowing machine (the successor of which was honored as an Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers), and in 1903 incorporated the Owens Bottle Machine Company. In 1912 Owens acquired rights to Irving Wightman Colburn's invention for manufacturing plate glass.[2]
In June 1916, the Libbey-Owens Sheet Glass Company was organized, and in 1917 the first Libbey-Owens plant opened in Charleston, West Virginia. In 1928, Libbey- Owens was the first company to produce automotive laminated safety glass and won a contract to supply the Ford Motor Company with windshields for the Model A. Libbey-Owens merged with the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company in 1930 to form Libbey-Owens-Ford.[1]
In April 1986, LOF sold its glass business and name to the Pilkington Group, a multinational glass manufacturer headquartered in the United Kingdom. The remaining three business units of the company, Aeroquip, Vickers, and Sterling, were retained and the holding company was renamed TRINOVA Corporation. The Sterling business was later sold and in the late 1990s, the company adopted its two leading business unit names, and continued as Aeroquip-Vickers, Inc., until being absorbed by Eaton Corporation in 1999. As part of the Pilkington Group, the company retained the LOF name. However, in June 2006, Pilkington was acquired by Nippon Sheet Glass, and the LOF name was abandoned in an effort to rebrand globally under the Pilkington name.

GameDay Magazine | /Buckeyes | @OhioStAthletics | @Brutus_Buckeye
Q. Seemed you used your time away to Ohio State's benefit. Did you feel you looked sharp running and throwing. How did you feel out there?
Braxton Miller: Before I answer that, I am proud of Kenny and the way he led the team while I was out. I look at him as a big brother. So no controversy with that.
Q. So talk about your play tonight, stepping in there after being out for almost three weeks.
Braxton Miller: I've been working really hard these last couple of weeks because I've been hurt. Fundamental wise, and Coach Herman and Coach Meyer, they always talk about fundamentals. That's what I've been working on. That's how I get things going. And I can't give all the glory to myself, I've got to give it to the team.
Q. You got off to a really hot start. Can you talk about how [indiscernible] and how did you feel out there?
Braxton Miller: I felt good. It was a good crowd. Always a great crowd with the Buckeyes. I felt good. My legs felt good energy wise. I wasn't out of shape. Felt good.
Q. Fourth quarter, what kind of went on there? You guys first down needed a couple of times. What was going on there?
Braxton Miller: We backed up just a little bit because they was running this type of blitz coverage and we just wanted to run the ball and run the clock out. So we got off the field.
Q. Did you feel like you had something to prove tonight there? It seemed like it became popular for the last couple of weeks to stir up this controversy. Did you want to send any message with your own play?
Braxton Miller: Not at all. I was just going out there to have fun and lead my team how it's supposed to be led and just have fun and big plays come along with that, and I don't really look into how the media deals with that. So it don't bother me at all.
Q. Do you feel like this was a good game, a good icebreaker for the Big Ten? Was this a game that kind of you needed to see, kind of where you were, where the team was?
Braxton Miller: I love playing in big games. Brings excitement to myself and the team. That's what we talk about all the time. We love night games, just like last year. We stepped up a little bit, different game plan, and defense was good; Wisconsin, they was good defense. And we just had a good game plan. So it came out well. And everybody fought hard today.
Q. Can you talk about right at the end of the first half, almost an interception and the next play, 40 yard touchdown pass?
Braxton Miller: It slipped out of my hands. I can't make excuses. It's on me. I told coach: Let's throw it again. I made up for it the next throw.
Q. Same question but follow up on that. Did you tell him let's do it again? Tell us how it went down.
Braxton Miller: Coach know how I don't really gotta say too much. I looked at the sideline. He already knows what's going on. Good game plan.
Q. Because of the way you normally play the game, was there any hesitation or any concern going in about tucking it, running the football, because of what you were coming off of?
Braxton Miller: Not at all. I worked pretty hard I was in there all day. I felt like I had a job without getting paid. I was getting in there before the coaches. Taking care of my body. Conditioned all the time. Underwater treadmill. And just felt really good.
Q. You talked about that last drive before the half. Can you talk about the drive before they scored and get back in the momentum and that seemed to be the first time you cut it loose running was on that drive. Was there any hesitation early in the game to test the knee?
Braxton Miller: Just a little bit in the beginning of the game. I loosened up and you know how things get tight, you loosen up after a while. But the drive before the half, they opened up a lot, plus they came out with the ball again and had to set the tone before we went into the locker room.
Q. Is the knee 100 percent at this point, or how close to 100 percent?
Braxton Miller: It's good. It's 100 percent. I just wear a knee brace for caution and keep it real tight.
Q. What was the process like for you the past couple of weeks of trying to decide are you going to play, are you not going to play? Did you think maybe you were going to play last week? What was that like for you personally?
Braxton Miller: No, we held off on that, because it was a different type of game and we wanted to get prepared for the Big Ten conference. I wanted to rest my knee for another week so it would be absolutely 100 percent, so I could give all my all on the field.
Q. Heading into tonight, did you expect to take all the snaps?
Braxton Miller: It's the coach's decision. I worked pretty hard in practice. Me and Kenny, we just have a different relationship. And so it's all in coach's hands.
Q. Did they give you the decision before the game in that regard?
Braxton Miller: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they did.
Q. It looked like Kenny was one of the first guys out to celebrate with you after your touchdown passes, the first two I remember specifically. Did you expect anything different from Kenny in those moments? And how did it feel to have his support in that moment?
Braxton Miller: Like I said, he's been my big brother ever since I got here. We've had a connection. We roommate every game. We talk about things outside of football, things outside of football. So we hang out all the time and just happy to see him happy for me to be back on the field with the team.
Q. How did you think the offense looked overall? It's kind of hard to look at it in the moment. But if you can step outside of the moment and just look at it overall, as crisp as you would like it to be?
Braxton Miller: No, we've got a lot of little corrections to make, especially in the film room tomorrow. It's just the little things we've got to fix from the game and little D balls I missed a couple times. We got it back. Fought really hard. And guys played really well. So you can't really tell when you mess up.
COACH MEYER: Thanks for being here and a great team win and an incredible atmosphere, very appreciative to our fans and the Buckeye walk the skull session and just the atmosphere I can't imagine much better, especially national television audience to watch it. Our team came out hard and fast. We just got news we lost our captain. Christian Bryant has a broken ankle. And just tough news. That's the hardest part of this whole job is to see I'm not sure everybody understands what goes into playing a football game, the training and work ethic and all that. My goodness. Just love that kid. I just want to ask you to keep Christian's family in your prayers and that darn kid has done so much for our program, come so far. Incredible leadership skills. And he's going to be even more valuable outside of football. I love that guy. Doggone it. Hard part of the game, boy.
Q. On the other side of the football, just Braxton's play tonight. He clearly looked sharp. He threw it with velocity. Can you rate how he played tonight?
COACH MEYER: I think he played very well. I think looks he threw 200 yards, four touchdowns, two sacks. Played very good defense. Didn't realize how many seniors on the defense, well coached, hard playing outfit. I don't think I said that in the beginning of my statement, but I think the team we played is very good. Should be undefeated except for some ridiculous call. Two Big Ten teams going at each other. Incredible environment. Braxton did have a heck of a day. We sit much better if our captain doesn't get hurt and we close the game better but it's part of the game.
Q. Seems like it's been kind of popular for the last couple of weeks to stir up controversy with your quarterbacks. Was there ever a doubt if Braxton was healthy
COACH MEYER: Oh, no not if he's healthy. If he was healthy, I'd like to get Kenny in the game. Just in the moment it didn't happen. The same with Jordan Hall. So those are two guys that I've got to make sure we handle the right way, because they deserve to play. So those are no, but when Braxton when I saw on Thursday what I saw, then there was no doubt who was going to be our starter. And we gotta keep moving forward and keep everybody locked in on the target. And it's going to be a tough target again next week.
Q. Can you just talk a bit about limiting them running the football? I mean they were the third best in the country, just 104 yards rushing.
COACH MEYER: The game plan shifted early on them in the game. I think our guys, we held that No. 25 to 74 total yards. We started hitting them in the backfield a little bit. Tremendous player. We contained them. One of the things, the longest run from scrimmage looked like it was 17 yards. And that's not like them. I mean, I think doggone they're averaging I want to say 12, 14 yards a carry. So the thing that hurt us a little bit was we only got two sacks they threw the ball 34 times. That's not acceptable. No. 4 for them he's got my vote for all Big Ten. He did an incredible job.
Q. So was it just the coach's decision that Jordan didn't play very much and Carlos got the bulk of the carries?
COACH MEYER: No issue. Just a coach's decision. We're going to keep evaluating it, because No. 2 or 7, whatever he is now, he deserves to be more involved in that game. So I'm going to evaluate that tomorrow.
Q. Having LeBron James involved with the team like that today, what's that like and does that do anything for the team?
COACH MEYER: I don't know. I just know I love athletes that handle their business. I love athletes that live right off the field and show incredible leadership. And I've always been a LeBron fan. I met him back when he was at Akron Saint Vincent, Saint Mary. To have him come and be gracious with our team visit our team, speak to our team, actually spoke to our team today, plus he's a Buckeye. He loves Ohio State. And he's made that clear several times to me throughout the year.
Q. Two things, I wanted to ask you real quick about: Were you surprised the way they were able to move the football through the air sustaining it that way? And the other question I had for you was about your punter, Cameron Johnson, the way he was able to trap them deep in their own end numerous times tonight.
COACH MEYER: Where is the return yardage? Shoot we gave up three yards. First of the year. We work real hard on that, by the way. And I think I called up Devin Smith at the end of the game we finally got a good hang time of our punter 4.4 hang time which we're always pushing for four and a half seconds. But that was play of the day to go punt that thing like he did, got it off in good time. And great coverage and put them back on the minus 10 yard line. Our punt team is solid that's probably the star of our special teams. That's an area that we have to continue to work to get better.
Q. You talked about being a tough target again next week. What are some sort of preliminary things that concern you about next Saturday's game?
COACH MEYER: My leader, our leader is in an ambulance right now going to the hospital to have surgery on his leg. So that's the concerning part. He's our leader. There's no doubt about who is one of our if not the defense leader, one of them. And he's just devastated. So that's concern number one. Concern probably one, two and three is who is going to fill his spot. Who is going to assume the leadership obligation, responsibility that he has, that he has shown. Incredible young man. Incredible. His parents should be very, very proud of that guy. I love that guy.

3. Proton Preve
Proton Preve is a car that excel in terms of ride and handling (one of the best in C-segment), NVH and cabin space. Moreover, for a car of its price, the list of standard equipment is on par with some of the D-segment sedans available in Malaysia. Too bad the built quality is not convincing enough for many and there is still room for improvement.
Review: http://www.simonhar.com/2012/04/driven-proton-preve-16cfe.html
2. Nissan Almera
Nissan Almera is one of the most affordable, non-national B-segment sedans in our market. Eventhough the Almera is cheap, its refinement, quality and comfort doesn't reflect its low price tag. Moreover, it has a huge cabin which is comparable to some larger cars. Fuel economy is also another plus point for the Almera. The only slightly letdown is its handling.
Review: http://www.simonhar.com/2012/11/driven-nissan-almera-15-cvtc.html
1. Ford Focus
When it comes to the overall package, I would say the Ford Focus is the best value-for-money car. Handles great (one of the best in its segment) while providing high level of comfort and refinement.
Safety features such as Active City Stop and technology such as Park Assist, Active Grille Shutter and Torque Vectoring Control are only found in Focus if compared with other cars around its price tag. Starting at RM125k, it's a great bargain if compared with other Japanese models around that price tag!

That's all for 2012 and Happy New Year to everyone! May 2013 a better year!!!

The Boston Red Sox's top pitching prospect is moving on up.
Left-handed starting pitcher Henry Owens has been promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket, according to WEEI.com. Owens all but confirmed the news via his Twitter account on Friday.
Portland was amazing.. Now it's time to move up to the level with one more A added to the end of it—
Henry Owens (@______H______O) August 01, 2014
The 22-year-old southpaw is considered by many to not only be the organization's top pitching prospect, but one of the best prospects in all of baseball. He was ranked on both Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America's top 50 lists at Nos. 22 and 15, respectively.
Owens, a 2011 first-round pick, has dominated at Double-A Portland this season. He posted a 14-4 record with a 2.60 ERA to go along with 126 strikeouts in 121 innings pitched. Owens was allowing just 6.6 hits per nine innings as part of a 1.12 WHIP.
The news comes one day after Anthony Ranaudo was promoted to Boston where he'll start Friday night against the New York Yankees.

1..2..3.....16 cores in AMD's NEW OPTERON 6200 CPU
It's just amazing that thing about the numbers. Especially in technology they grow SO fast. From one to 16 cores in one CPU it's been only a decade. Still here we are today to watch AMD, announce it's new Opteron 6200 family processors. AMD managed to fit 16 different cores in one an only single chip. Already companies like Acer, Dell, Cray [i cant believe that still exists!], HP are ready to adopt them in the next 2 months. The performance of the new super chip will be 83% higher than it's predecessors.

Parrtjima – a Festival in Light Comes to Life in Alice Springs
Parrtjima is a breathtaking showcase of contemporary and traditional Indigenous art, culture and stories using light and sound, created by the Northern Territory Government in collaboration with AGB Events (known for their award-winning work for Vivid Sydney) and local Aboriginal artists, students and community
The free public event officially opened on Friday, 23 September.
Andrew Hopper, General Manager, Northern Territory Major Events Company, said: "Parrtjima offers visitors from around Australia and the world the unique chance to experience the oldest continuous culture on earth in a totally new and exciting way.
"We are extremely proud to present the first authentic Indigenous light festival of its kind in the world as we illuminate 2.5km of the Northern Territory's majestic MacDonnell Ranges in celebration of Central Australia's rich Aboriginal culture."
In addition to the multi-coloured projections on the MacDonnell Ranges, a series of installations will be on show at Alice Springs Desert Park. These include:
- Range of Expression: Visitors to Parrtjima can play a part in illuminating the magnificent MacDonnell Ranges! Step into the interactive glass booth and take control of the panels to choose which colours you want to use to light the vast landscape, and watch your creation come to life before your eyes.
- Yeperenye Tales (Caterpillars): A series of three large, light-filled caterpillar installations featuring colourful illustrations by students from Amoonguna School in Alice Springs, based on their interpretation of the Yeperenye (Caterpillar) Dreamtime story. The story of the Caterpillar is folklore in Central Australia, considered by the local Indigenous Arrernte community to be one of the major creation forces of Alice Springs, the heart of the Australian outback. Illuminated from the inside, the vibrantly lit caterpillars will be accompanied by an audio soundscape and narration by local Indigenous Elder to bring the story to life.
- Grounded: A sequence of artworks by Indigenous artists from Alice Springs will be projected onto the desert sands with their own atmospheric soundscape. The projections merge art with the landscape, symbolising the return of Indigenous art to the Country – the common thread of all selected paintings. Artworks featured include Mervyn Rubuntja, Wenton Rubuntja, Myra Ah Chee, Gloria Pannka and Hubert Pareroultja. The series was created with curatorial assistance from the Araluen Arts Centre (Araluen Cultural Precinct) and Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands Art Centre in Alice Springs.
- Inti Ljapa Ljapa Irapakalam (Butterfly Going Round and Round): A series of five large, illuminated skirts feature the circular watercolour landscape paintings of five Alice Springs artists including Lenie Namatjira (granddaughter of one of Australia's best known Aboriginal painters, Albert Namatjira), Reinhold Inkamala, Ivy Pareroultja, Therese Ryder and Hubert Pareroultja. The colourful 1950s-style skirts celebrate the landscape of Ntaria country and the era in which Albert Namatjira was celebrated, and are accompanied by an original soundscape of the artists' narration. The steel frames supporting the skirts are made by the Centre for Appropriate Technology Ltd in Alice Springs. The skirts feature circular illustrations of the West MacDonnell Ranges with an endless horizon that leads to one central sky. As audiences move around the skirts they will follow the unbroken horizon and take on the flying path of the emerging butterflies that populate the Arrernte songlines.
Anthony Bastic, Director, AGB Events, said Parrtjima is set to become a popular fixture on Australia's events calendar.
"The sheer scale of the lighting on the MacDonnell Ranges is beyond imaginable, and will tell a layered, interactive and personal story from artists, Elders and the local Indigenous community. It will set this authentic and contemporary experience apart from anything we've ever seen before."
During the festival, visitors can gather in the Festival Hub and enjoy an array of non-alcoholic beverages and local family friendly fare, while taking in the beautiful surrounds of Alice Springs Desert Park.
Visitors can access the event via the Larapinta bike track or the free event shuttle bus, which will collect passengers every 10 minutes from 6:00pm daily from six locations around Alice Springs.
High-resolution images of Parrtjima – A Festival in Light, including festival images, installations, artist impressions, and location shots are available.

Myerstown, PA
June 27, 2017
From Time To Time
Sounds like a good title for a periodic note from the Pastor. So, from time to time I will share with you my thoughts through our Website.
First, I want to thank Deb Stevenson, our Parish Webmaster for taking on this ministry of communication.
I met many of you at the Festival and at the Liturgies my first week in Myerstown. It was a wonderful way to meet so many in a very short time.
The problem is, I have a hard time remembering everyone's name. I hope you will forgive me.
Speaking of the festival: I was so impressed with the organization and cooperation of so many. Never have I seen so many parishioners working together for a common goal: to help the parish financially, but also to build community among the members. It was awesome. Thanks to everyone who brought it all together.
I believe that communication is important so I have established a Parish Calendar. It is now linked to this Website. You can also get to it through the internet https://www.calendarwiz.com/mgh. Presently, all of the Liturgical functions are listed for the year. In the future it is my hope that everything that happens in the Parish will be listed on this official Parish Calendar. Any organization head can contact me to set up their particular calendar.
You can contact me any time through my cell phone. If you call the Parish Office you will be directed to call me on my cell phone. In this way, I will be able to respond in a more timely fashion.
I also want to thank Father Lavoie for guiding the Parish as the Administrator during the interim between Pastors.
Finally, in another place, you can view my "Biographical Sketch" to see where I have been. Hopefully, with all of you, we will proceed into the future full of hope and joy.
In the Peace of Jesus,
Father Bill

Master Class on Inclusiveness, 10-11 May 2016, Vienna, Austria
PLATFORM is organising a Master Class (MC) for representatives from Low Performing Countries (LPCs) as defined in the Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation Programme of H2020. The Master Class is being performed under PLATFORM's Fostering inclusiveness taskand organised by WP1: Practice: Efficient, effective, and inclusive organisation of ERA-NET activities.
The aim of the MC is to provide Programme funders/manager from LPCs with training and guidance on how to get actively involved in bioeconomy related collaboration actions. Specific topics for the Master Class on inclusiveness have been set up after intensive contacts with the relevant institutions and ERA‐NETs that succeeded in involving some of the relevant countries. The overall goal is a higher participation of those countries that are less active so far in ERA‐NET activities and joint calls, while they do have an interest to be more engaged.
It is of major importance that we combine our knowledge and build our future co-funded ERA-NET projects on the already existing experiences. At this Master Class we will share our working methods, our bright ideas and create a network of people we can ask questions when needed.

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's sons
I really loved the fact that this is a free game but has amazing graphic's.
Very challenging, took me many tries. Its great that it has kind of a free play feeling when you get to spray paint the walls. The story line could be a bit better, I didnt really understand why I was there and why I had to collect all the cats? Perhaps if you plan to renew or update you could add secrete levels if you colect all the cats? Or one part of the story there is a flash back reveling why you are there and who you are? All in All this is a great game <3

Fur Care Tips
Get fur wise on how to care for your fur
When you are done wearing your fur garments for the season be sure to store them in cold storage. Professional fur storage facilities are equipped with temperature, humidity, and light-controlled space that protects your fur garments, keeping them from drying out, oxidizing and prematurely aging.
Have your fur cleaned every one to two years depending how frequently you wear it by a professional fur and leather care specialist, never a dry cleaner. Your fur may not look dirty but cleaning will remove particles you cannot see, keep your fur soft, and having your fur garment glazed will help it maintain it's luster.
If you notice a split or tear in your fur take it into a fur care specialist as soon as possible for repair. This will prevent the damage from becoming more extensive and expensive to repair later.
When your fur is in your care be sure to hang it on a fur hanger or wide suit hanger. Never hang your fur on a wire hanger and allow enough space so that your fur is not crushed.
Hang your fur in a cool, spacious area without artificial light. Never store your furs in plastic or rubber bags as both prevent air from circulating and can cause the skins of furs to dry out. If you need to cover your fur use a lightweight breathable fabric bag. Breathable fabric bags should only be used temporarily to prevent dust and pollutants. When used long term anything pressing against a fur can pull and cause stress on the guard-hairs causing them to break.
When wearing your fur avoid the use carrying shoulder bags as the strap pressure on the shoulder or pressed against any other area of your fur can cause guard hairs to break.
Do not store your fur in a cedar closet. Cedar wood absorbs moisture which can dry your fur out. And cedar closets do not protect from dust, dirt, and insect damage.
Never store your fur with moth balls. Moth balls react with moisture in the air to produce a gas that acts as fumigant. This chemical reaction can cause irreparable damage to your fur. Moth balls will also create an almost impossible to remove odor.
Apply perfume and hairspray before putting your fur on. If you have to reapply take fur off first. Perfume, hairspray, and other chemicals contain alcohol and will dry the leather and stiffen the guard hairs.
Do not smoke cigarettes around furs which will cause a strong unremovable odor, leather drying, and fur oxidization.
If your fur gets wet shake it out and hang it to dry in a well-ventilated room. Avoid direct heat or radiators, which can damage both fur and leather. If your fur is soaked through take it immediately to your professional fur care specialist for proper treatment.
If your fur does suffer from extensive tears, dry areas, or missing fur take it into a professional fur care specialist who may be able to match fur to yours or restyle it to make it wearable again.

Well, Super Bowl XX will feature two teams that have never been there before. That's happened only three times in Super Bowl history if you discount the first one, which perforce had two maiden outings.
It's happened only once since Super IV and that was in Super XVI, when Cincinnati and San Francisco teed it up as first-timers.
So, will this one be any different from the other XIX? It's doubtful. It's a Super Bowl, isn't it? Look for any or all of the following on Super Sunday 1986:
--The game will be an artistic disappointment--predictable, dull and, probably, one-sided. Try to recall any super moments from this bowl game, a Roy Riegels running the wrong way, a third-stringer coming off the bench in the twilight to ignite a game-winning rally, a gallant goal-line stand, a last-second interception.

- I need to start on those actual play reports!
- My posts about Kult aren't exactly my most widely-read material, but I think there's some stuff in Kult that might be useful in Lamentations of the Flame Princess, so I want to explore that possible crossover.
- I should REALLY finish reading The Hell House Beckons and get around to reviewing it. My first impressions are very positive.
- For some reason I got bored back in February and wrote on a sticky note a list of D&D editions/versions in the order of what I found most-to-least interesting. I looked at it again today and realized that order has changed a lot in just two months or so. That may be some food for thought.
- Related to Number 2 above, I've been having an internal debate over whether or not Kult counts as cosmic horror. A lot of people seem to see it as the exact opposite of cosmic horror, but I can see arguments both for and against that claim. Does this kind of nitpicky genre debate interest anybody besides me?
- I have some more NPC ideas that might benefit from a write-up, like what I did with Joop van Ooms and Ibofuris Onaxix. There's a dwarf inventer named Ori, a wizard/sculptor named Klavis Garavone, and a cabal of warlocks that could use some fleshing out.
- Two words: Alderson disk.
- Maybe I'm just hitting the Lotus Powder a bit too much, but is it just me, or does Lamentations of the Flame Princess seem to have a fascination with cloning, copying, imitating, and replacing people?
- I think I tinker with the classes in LotFP to an obsessive degree. I guess I might as well share some of what I've come up with. Worst case scenario, people can at least enjoy laughing at my amateur attempts at game design.
- Last year, I read the Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peake. I think there's some pretty gameable stuff in there.
- I wonder if you could use The Ghost House Guide to Ghosts as a Monster Manual?
- Big Trouble in Little China is a great D&D movie.
- Arguably, so is Conquest. (Although I suspect a lot of people would say it isn't a good anything. I disagree, but I don't blame anybody if they feel that way.)
- For the most part, I actually like the Cleric class in LotFP, which perhaps puts me in a minority. I'd like to talk about the things that I think the Cleric class and spell list do well.
- I want to do a read-through of Carcosa like the one I did of the Holmes Basic D&D rulebook.
- Ditto B1 In Search of the Unknown.
- Ditto B2 The Keep on the Borderland.
- Ditto the two B/X D&D rulebooks.
- Ever since I read The House on the Borderland, I've had this cool idea in the back of my mind: What if I combined The House on the Borderland with The Keep on the Borderland? (I haven't thought of a clever title yet.) I might use some stuff from this post by Zak S. as inspiration.
- I have an idea for a dungeon made of sugar I ought to get to work on. "Death Frosting Doom," if you will. If I ever get off my ass and make it, maybe I could make it a free (or "pay what you want") product on DriveThruRPG or Lulu or something.
- To complement my list of "official and semi-official" LotFP classes (in print and PDF), I should make a list of classes from blogs and other online sources. It's definitely not going to be a complete list, but I can at least gather links to a bunch of them.
Snake Men
Arguing for weaker demon lords
Murderdog V: A New Beginning
Doom has good maps
Scared bunnies are scary bunnies
Magic is weird
I love the nano warhead cloud
Cool observations and opinions about Mentzer Basic D&D
Skill checks in B/X
"Slayer of Bogies" is a good band name
Stuff that was on the list but that I covered since writing this post:
- I just obtained a copy of the Holmes Basic D&D rules. The book is awesome, and I want to talk about it. DONE!
- I have this theory about how the Fighter/Mage/Other Class trio has a sort of universal appeal for people who like fantasy games that use character classes. I don't know if it holds water, but I'd like to develop it a bit. DID IT.
- Am I the only one who struggles with figuring out how the appraisal of treasure by PCs should work? Especially with magic items? TALKED ABOUT IT HERE.
- This might be strange, but I have an urge to stat up a certain annoying enemy from an old, arguably crappy video game called Dark Castle. I think it might be an amusing take on the goblin/kobold archetype. I just really like repurposing old video game stuff for old-school D&D stuff. THERE IT IS.

"Existential computing", where a device vanishes at the end of every web session, could be the answer to data hungry government officials armed with warrants and guns, according to Google's chief technology advocate, Michael Jones.
When that is the situation, forget whitelists, blacklists, or any more complicated security measures such as USB restrictions. Implementing security for the masses is often just too difficult for the masses.
Google's "latest bagging and beseeching of people" occurred this June when Gmail accounts were hacked, Jones told the Australian Information Security Association conference in Sydney last week.
"People have stupid passwords," he said.
Google had already rolled out two factor security for all Gmail users, which he said would have dealt with "99.999" of the problem. But even that effort to make security simple for people failed.
"We beg people to do it but they won't do it," said Jones.
The problem of implementing security was compounded by aggressive government tactics aimed at ISPs in some countries. Dealing with security at the point of contact was simply too late.
"Think about that before the guy shows up with the search warrant and gun, right. You can't think about it then. You fail if you think about it then. You have to think about it ahead of time."
Describing China's desire for the Delai Lama's emails as "unbelievable", Jones said, "They want data out of your computer, they want data out of my [Google's] computer because it's your data."
Jones pointed to the anonymity-enhancing tools, the Tor network and the more "extreme" Cocoon as current technologies that have the potential to address these threats and the complexities of implementing security.
"What if your web browser came packaged like this so you never browsed on your computer? That's kind of weird, I think, but still you could do that."
Cocoon was a "strange thing" said Jones. Users rely on Cocoon's computers for browsing after which it sends images of the session to the user over a secure tunnel.
People who used that "specifically don't trust Google, Yahoo, or Baidu", he said.
"I think it's really strange actually. But it's interesting that people develop relatively robust security measures that are easy to use. You just do this all in your browser and for the rest of your life your computer is impossible to be affected by anything you did."
"No white list, no blacklist. No forbidding the use of a USB memory key. No infinity of things."
All a user would need was "wimpy hardware with Google Chrome on it" for browsing or "regular computers" that browse remotely over somebody else's computer that was just a virtual image that getsre-imaged with every session.
"It's fantastic, it's not just virtual computing and virtualised hardware. It's like hypothetical computing, it's like so virtualised that it only stands up when you talk to it and then it goes away instantly, everything about it. It's like existential computing."

Union College goaltender Colin Stevens recorded 25 saves in his team's 3-1 win over Providence in the NCAA tournament regional final on Saturday afternoon, but his defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, also got in on the action between the pipes.
The 21-year-old Philadelphia Flyers prospect and Hobey Baker finalist preserved the Dutchmen's 1-0 lead in the first period as he made a sequence of miraculous saves in the crease. Gostisbehere covered for his junior netminder during a flurry of Friars shots, dropping to his knees and making not just one save during the barrage, but four total.
It's safe to say Gostisbehere saved a goal — or four — on the play, but it was certainly all worth it for the junior blueliner as Union became the first team to punch its ticket to the Frozen Four.
Check out the heroic stops in the video below.

Burguesa Burger: A New Definition For Tex-MexBy burrger • May 13th, 2011 • Category: Burger Blog
Burguesa Burger is a new Dallas based burger franchise that is combining classic Mexican with classic American. The Mexican in Burguesa Burger is a lot more than the usual Jalapeño topping.
For those of us who live in Texas, we embrace Mexican food and have even integrated it into our own cuisine, Tex-Mex. Many restaurants, fast food chains and backyard BBQ's have promoted a spicy hamburger as "Tex-Mex Burger". Though no fast food chain has combined these cuisines to the extent that Burguesa Burger is.
Burguesa Burger: More Than A Jalapeno Topping
Burguesa Burgers, a new chain of burger stores, has used the Mexican influence into American cuisine and has engineered a hamburger like no other.
The Burgeusa Burger signature hamburger the "La Monumental" is piled with two beef patties, two slices of cheese, ham, avocado, refried beans, crunchy tostada, lettuce, tomato, onion, a creamy special sauce and of course the obligatory jalapeño as a garnish, making this a very handsome looking hamburger indeed.
The fries are offered regular or spicy, and if you have never tried one you should – the bacon wrapped hot dog (very yummy!). The one little item that caught my eye while browsing the menu was the churro filled with dulche de leche (caramel). I cannot tell you how yummy these tasty treats are, similar to a donut, only long and thin, served warm, dipped in cinnamon sugar and then filled with warm caramel – a guaranteed eye-rolling, delightful treat if there ever was one.
Burguesa Burger: Drinks Menu
The drinks menu is listed with the fountain sodas but Burguesa Burger promote the use of cane sugar rather that the controversial high fructose corn syrup used liberally across the United States in soda's and they have created their own blend of sodas.
They also offer Coca Cola and Jarrito's soda imported from Mexico, which is sold in glass bottles in a variety of flavors. There is something about a coke in a cold glass bottle and when you are so used to corn syrup, tasting the difference between and that and the cane sugar, is quite noticeable.
I did perk up at the hand dipped milkshakes blended the old fashioned way, but did cringe a little when I saw it was served with a donut skewered to the straw, perhaps a little over the top but, hey, just because it is there doesn't mean you have to eat it, does it?
Burguesa Burger, the Real Deal?
The concept was founded in Dallas in 2009 by restaurant entrepreneur Jeff Sinelli, and has been named one of the 11 burger chains to watch in 2011 by BurgerBusiness.com.
Burguesa Burger, now have 4 store locations around Dallas Texas with plans for further locations around the Rio Grande area which is on the borders of Texas and Mexico and in my opinion, will probably be a very popular chain before too long.
The Mexican impact on the food here in Texas has been a positive and a negative. While many restaurants are able to focus on creating a menu filled with fresh and interesting foods, some establishments have "Americanized" and cheapened the foods or simply changed the whole concept of what the foods were supposed to be originally and have all but ruined the taste buds of those who have been victims of bad Tex-Mex.
Here is to hoping that Burguesa Burger keep the traditions of the Mexican food culture and the traditional hamburger so that we may acquire a taste for the real Mexican tastes combined with our old favorites instead of the other way around where tastes and flavors can get lost in grease and sauces.

Retail spending charged to electronic cards rose 0.3 per cent last month, to be 3.9 per cent higher than in March last year.
When the automotive sector is excluded - particularly fuel purchases, which dropped 2.5 per cent despite higher petrol prices - core spending charged to debit, credit and charge cards was up 0.5 per cent.
But that only reversed a 0.5 per cent drop recorded in February.
For the March quarter as a whole core spending via electronic cards was 0.4 per cent higher than in the December 2011 quarter.
ASB economist Daniel Smith said spending in a couple of the more volatile areas rebounded from weak February results.
Hospitality spending, which was down 2.7 per cent in February, rose 2.1 per cent while apparel spending, down 2 per cent in February, jumped 2.6 per cent.
"The largest spending component, consumables, rose 0.5 per cent, continuing the recent trend of steady growth," Smith said.
"Meanwhile spending on durables fell 0.6 per cent. This may represent some payback following steady growth in spending on durables over the second half of last year, but we expect increasing housing market activity will support sales of durable goods over 2012." Goldman Sachs economist Philip Borkin noted that Statistics New Zealand's estimate of the trend rate of growth in spending via electronic cards was just 0.1 per cent a month.
That was tepid, he said, especially in light of recent increases in petrol and food prices.
Smith said that with a modest rate of economic recovery and household debt still high, growth in retail spending would continue to be gradual.
"We do not see this sector as a source of inflationary pressure in the near term. We continue to expect the official cash rate to be left on hold until the end of the year," he said.

Every Cohesive Networks product has a lifecycle. The lifecycle begins when a product is released and ends when it's reached end of life (EOL). Cohesive Networks will periodically discontinue VNS3 product versions that reach end of life (EOL) for a number of reasons. These reasons may be due to product line enhancements, changes in industry standards deriving changes in the product, or general market demands.
Knowing relevant dates in this lifecycle helps customers make informed decisions about when to upgrade or make other changes to their topologies. All information updates included on this page are sent to our existing administration customer list. Contact us to be added to that mailing list.
The end-of-life process consists of a series of activities that, once completed, make a product version obsolete. Once obsolete, the product version is not sold or supported.

EVANGELICAL Christians have failed in an attempt to derail Church of Scotland plans to allow the ordination of gay clergy.
The Kirk has moved a step closer to ordaining gay ministers following a vote at the General Assembly in Edinburgh.
It will now pass to presbyteries across Scotland to vote for or against it. If approved would become church law next summer.
The Assembly voted last year to take a 'mixed economy' stance.
This affirmed the Church's stance on marriage being between "one man and one woman".
But it allowed liberal congregations to 'opt out' and appoint an openly gay man or woman in a civil partnership as a minister if they wanted to.
Today its Legal Questions committee presented its recommendations, known as an overture, as to how the move could be implemented.
A counter-motion was brought by Edinburgh evangelical minister Rev Jeremy Middleton - which would have removed the possibility of the opt-out and caused further disarray in the church.
But the motion was defeated by 369 to 189 votes, allowing the legislation to be ratified, despite a strong showing from those against.
The vote marked the culmination of a debate on same-sex clergy that dominated the day's business.
It is the latest episode that has divided the church down traditionalist and revisionist lines, with the former claiming that it represented a departure from "Biblical truth".
Rev Scott Rennie
The controversy was first sparked in 2009 following the ordination of openly gay minister Rev Scott Rennie to Queen's Cross Church in Aberdeen.
So far a total of 13 ministers and hundreds of ordinary members have left, though conservative evangelicals have warned that more would follow if the legislation was allowed to continue after this week's Assembly.
Evangelicals claimed today that the gay clergy measures had set "congregations against congregations, minister against minister and denomination against denomination".
Passionate speeches were heard from both sides, with individuals on the verge of tears at times as they spoke.
Rev Alan Hamilton, convener of the Legal Questions committee, told the packed Assembly Hall on The Mound that acknowledged the "anguish and pain felt by good people on all sides of the debate".
But he said that "painful and distressing" concessions had to be made for the sake of Church unity.
In raising his counter motion, Mr Middleton said that the proposals were "fraught with risk" as it contained many legal "loose ends", was not "legally watertight".
He claimed it left the Church open to potentially expensive claims against it on grounds of discrimination.
Evangelicals supporting the counter-motion said that the proposals had already forced members to leave the Church and it was now in danger of "nullifying the word of god".
The Principal of the Highland Theological College, Rev Hector Morrison, was on the verge of tears as he talked of the pain caused by ministers and church members who had left Highland congregations: "They have gone because they no longer trust our ability or our willingness to follow what they believe the Bible clearly states.
"We cannot afford any other church families to be torn apart in this way, we cannot afford to lose any more ministers or budding ministers."
But Rev Bryan Kerr, countering the Evangelical motion, said that while he was not "100 per cent comfortable" with the gay clergy plans, he said it offered "the best chance of peace and unity" for the Kirk.
Assembly member Deirdre Murray took a clearer stand, asking "how many more people will flock back into our churches if we agree to this? I can't see it. I can see more people leaving and I regret it greatly."
Those who supported the move also spoke of their concerns that the move proposed was not enough to make gay people feel accepted.
In a statement following the vote, the evangelical group Forward Together said the Assembly had put "the so-called 'peace and unity' of the Church, which is clearly lacking, before its duty to be a Church that honours the Word of God."
However, it urged members not to quit immediately - as feared - and "engage fully in the debate" ahead of the final presbytery vote later this year.

With tens of millions consumers the global e-cigarette market is growing rapidly and e-cigarettes and e-liquids are an important FMCG article for most of the retailers.

The UK government's health authorities endorsed e-cigarette products as being 97% less harmful than tobacco.
"Consumption of e-cigs could surpass consumption of conventional cigs within the next decade (by 2023)". Source: Wells Fargo.
"The growing use of electronic cigarettes as a substitute for tobacco smoking has been a topic of great controversy, with much speculation over their potential risks and benefits. Our latest 2017 report lays to rest almost all of the concerns over these products, and concludes that, with sensible regulation, electronic cigarettes have the potential to make a major contribution towards preventing the premature death, disease and social inequalities in health that smoking currently causes in the UK."

From 3 until 10 February, Wikigender hosted its first online discussion on: "How can social networks foster gender equality?"
Numerous examples were given of web 2.0 platforms that help girls and women to feel more included in discussions that matter to them, giving them a sense of belonging to a specific community. The wealth of information offered by those online social networking platforms is not only easily accessible by those who have an Internet connection, but also easily spread. This opens many doors, from career counselling and career building to campaigns to advance gender equality, strategies to cope with poverty, best practices and more. All in all, comments reinforced the idea of online social networks acting like a "technological booster" that empowers women and girls in many ways.
Comments however also reflected the rhetoric of current global inequalities, with only 30% of the population digitally included. What about the 5 billion people that do not have access to the Internet? What about women in rural areas who are unable to view videos on YouTube in some countries due to insufficient bandwidth? Even if other technologies such as mobile phones are becoming increasingly cheap and therefore more available in developing countries, helping women to balance their family and work responsibilities, this does not mean that they have access to those social networks and therefore to the information. Therefore, within the digital divide and "access" issues, one needs to consider also the "gender divide": women and girls need to build their capacity in using online social networks more efficiently, and they need to be involved in the early design and deployment stages of new technologies so that these technologies respond adequately to their needs. Sometimes, women and girls simply need to be informed of the existence of such social networks, as it is not always the case, and they should be trained in differentiating good information from bad information, as social media can also have adverse effects.
To access all the comments and read the full summary of the discussion, please visit this page. If this online discussion inspired you to create an article, click here!
To continue on the question of empowering women and fostering gender equality, the Wikigender Team invites you to participate in a new online discussion on: "Equal rights to resources: the key to empowering rural women. But what's stopping it?" – the outcomes of the discussion will be presented at a side event during the 56th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, which focuses on the empowerment of rural women and their role in poverty and hunger eradication, development and current challenges. Contribute until Wednesday 22 February and get your point across!

Baby G was with us for less than a week but we all loved him from the moment we brought him home. Bird and Jazz both cuddled him endlessly and when I looked for a chance to hold him Jazz informed me that I could hold him at night while I fed him.
Surprisingly, taking a (healthy) infant around attracts a lot more attention than a preschooler or toddler does. Everyone wants to stop and comment and love on them, which is wonderful. What I didn't expect was the, "I could never do it, I'd get too attached."
I don't know why I didn't expect it.
This isn't my first experience with comments such as those. In nursing, it is common to hear the, "You're such an angel." "I could never do what you do." It never bothered me, it is just part of the job.
But this time, it bothered me. Perhaps I was tired. Well, not perhaps. I was tired. Perhaps unlike nursing, this involves my whole family.
"I could never do it, I'd get too attached."
Wait? Am I not attached? Are Jazz and Bird not attached? What do you think Vati was doing on those late nights he stayed up to work and cared for Baby G so I could sleep? I'm confused. Do you think we won't attach to this little one in our care? Do you think we won't suffer when he leaves? I'm still confused. My tired brain isn't processing what you're saying.
That is when I'm thankful for friends who always seem to know the answers.
"Well, that's what these little ones need, a family who can love them fully."
My family suffered. Bird cried and cried. Jazz said it was too sad for tears. But we pulled together and prayed. We prayed for protection over this little one as he went to extended family, we prayed for comfort for our family, and we gave thanks for the opportunity to love as God calls us to love. It was a lesson for us all. That following God's plan for our lives will bring much blessing, but with it will also come suffering.

Jag vill säga ett stort tack för att ni velat ta del av mina tankar, känslor och upplevelser, men hoppas ni vill följa med mig till skönhetsbloggen.
I've felt that my interest for this blog has faded and I rather wish to spend my time and energy on my other blog. So I've been thinking and will be closing this blog down for a while, I'm not going to update it any longer. But it will still be here if my lust for writing more personal will be back. I hope you'll take part of my other blog: Colourit.se. It updates almost daily. My hobby really is makeup, nail polish, skin- and haircare and this is what I want to blog about. But I'm not going to say never...I'll might get back here.
I just want to say a huge thank's to you, that you've been taking part of my thoughts, feelings and experiences, but I hope you'll be following me to my beauty blog.
