Relive the joy of your wedding day with easy and creative ideas for preserving happy memories.
Your toasting flutes, guest book, and even your cake knife are all great wedding keepsakes, but chances are you'll only bring them out on special occasions. Here are five ways—aside from photos—you can relive the magic of your wedding day whenever you want to reminisce.
Get it on video. If there's room in the budget, hire a videographer to capture footage of your wedding day. Set to your wedding song, this DVD is sure to bring a happy tear to your eye.
Recreate tastes. Instead of eating year-old cake from the freezer, plan a date night where you and your hubby prepare your wedding meal. Finish the evening with a glass of the same wine or champagne you enjoyed and a sweet treat from the bakery that made your cake.
Re-wear accessories. You probably won't be able to shorten your gown and wear it again, but you can dress up an outfit with your wedding pearls, shoes, or clutch to remember your walk down the aisle.
Create a shadow box. Collect bits of ephemera throughout your wedding day. Tuck these trinkets into a shadow box along with a picture of you and your husband, and hang it somewhere you'll see it every day.
Make a brooch bouquet. Put together a "bouquet" made from vintage brooches. Unlike fresh flowers, these sparkly blooms will last forever. After the wedding, put the bouquet in a pretty vase, and place it on your mantel or bedside table.
Of course, the best way to remember your wedding is through photographs. View my portfolio to see memories I've helped preserve.
How do you plan to preserve moments from your wedding day?

I can't believe how many years I have racked up in the hot room. Not that every year was a I-roll-out-my-mat-5-days-a-week kind of year. In the beginning, I was lucky if I made it to the studio once a month. It was a great stretch, a great detox, but that was about it. Then, little by little, I became a fixture at the studio, where if I took a day off, the teachers would ask where I was the day before when I headed into the studio for class. Then I gave it a break for a while. Then I came back with a vengeance and since then still really haven't taken time away from my practice except maybe, maybe, a week here and there over the past 8 years when on vacation or break.
My practice has grown and shrunk, had breakthroughs, and back steps, it is ever changing as I do the continual cha-cha of two steps forward and one step back. Teaching yoga has helped my practice grow in a tremendous way as I make realizations about how I approach each breath on my mat and help others do the same. If you want to learn more about anything – teach it.
Each week I have students humbly make their way up to the desk before class to tell me what is going on with the physically or emotionally with them that week and how it might affect their practice during the class.
"Just don't expect too much today, okay?" is a phrase I actually here more than you think I would, as the students shuffle in, somehow thinking I am keeping score as they move through their practice.
I'm not keeping score, but I do expect your best. You showed up for a reason. I am glad you talked to me and let me know what is going on with you, but other than that, you go into the hot room and do what you can. Some days will be glorious, full of achievements you could only have dreamed of a month or a year before, other days… you will feel humbled by the yoga, maybe even defeated, yet the only thing that matters is you showed up and that you show up again.
That being said, there are a few things that might be getting in the way of your progress within the confines of your practice that you should consider. I've been through them all and still find that I have to face one or two of these as I work to go deeper and achieve more physically and mentally through this yoga journey. Maybe you too, will identify with one, two, or all of these:
- Physical Limitations. This is not to be taken lightly. You have had knee surgery or tore your rotator cuff. It could be something more, it could be something less. It doesn't matter what the injury is. You will need to be extremely patient with yourself and with your body. You have an opportunity to heal through the yoga practice, but it might take longer than you want it to. The time will pass anyway. Continue to make it to class and watch the body unfold.
- A shared thought or belief. Someone told you something about yourself and you chose to believe it. You are too tall, too big, too weak, your legs are too long, your legs are too short, your arms are too short. You will never heal from your injury – it is there and never going away, so deal with it. I have heard it all. I actually have had students back away from a posture because another teacher, friend, or relative had told them they were bad at it. What beliefs about yourself can you delete? Are they even your beliefs to begin with?
- A teacher puts limits on your practice. I have had a teacher tell me that something I was working for was never going to happen for me. They were more than likely trying to be helpful in some way, but don't let anyone tell you what is possible within your practice. They don't know what's possible for you any more than you do.
- You think you know better. This was me in so many ways at the beginning of my practice. I wish I had pictures of the craziness that I brought to my practice at that time because I refused to follow directions. I was a dancer, a runner, an athlete in many ways and knew my body well. I meditated every day. Yet, I wasn't open enough to learn something new. I had to let go of my need to be right and my know-it-all manner in order to move forward. I had to empty my cup and come at the practice as if I was an absolute beginner, which is a state of mind that serves me well to this day.
- You are scared of change. People like their stuff. They like their drama and their excuses. If things were peaceful and calm and you were actually happy, you wouldn't know what to do with yourself. I am here to tell you change is awesome. You won't know how awesome until you decide that your stuff is boring. Trust me it's boring. Change is exciting.
- You don't want people to think you are better than them. If you are happy, healthy, calm, peaceful, working towards positive goals, who would like you? I'll tell you who. The best kind of people. The good, supportive, you-can-do-it kind of people. You were meant to shine. Don't dull your sparkle to make other people comfortable you.
- You think unless everything went perfectly, you didn't have a great class. The best class is the one you show up for – period. It doesn't matter if you had to take a break or if you fell out of a posture. You are seeking progress by showing up again and again and believing that it will change for the better and grow.
- You compare your practice to those around you or the people you follow on social media. Be your Self. There is only one you and your practice is just as relevant and important as the person wrapping their leg behind their head or pictured doing a one-armed handstand. Enjoy your own journey and don't get caught up in someone else's unless they inspire you as to what is also possible for you.
- Not assessing as to why a certain outcome keeps happening. You fall out of Standing Bow Pulling Pose every single day. You have zero energy left by Camel Pose and skip it every single time. Your stomach yelled at you through the whole practice because you ate the wrong thing before class or you didn't eat at all and this happens at least once a week. You are in control more than you think. Start figuring out what is going on with that posture that eludes you. Talk to your teachers before and after class to get the answers to your questions. Go to a posture clinic, workshop, or seminar to learn more. Make sure you are feeding your body what it needs. Up your electrolytes. Spray yourself down with Magnesium Oil before bed. Take Epsom salt baths. Start eating good food that doesn't exacerbate your system. Assess why certain things are happening and decide to make the change you need to get past this hurdle.
- Taking it way too seriously. It's just yoga, people. I know we attend class sometimes for very serious reasons – health problems, working through emotional problems, reducing anxiety, etc. – but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have a bit of fun. If you fall out of posture it's better to smile at yourself in the mirror in front of you and begin again, than silently swearing and berating yourself. I always tell my students that the way you treat your yoga is the way you treat your life. If everything is so serious, where's the fun? The journey can be hard and arduous, or a true joy, as you learn how to enjoy every step of the way and watch yourself grow in so many different ways. Lighten up – even in Standing Head to Knee Pose and Standing Bow Pulling Pose. You don't have to be perfect. You simply have to be the perfect expression of everything you are in that moment.
As you look at the list above you might find that these things are not only holding you back from moving forward with your yoga, but also holding you back from moving forward with your life. It's easy to hang out in the comfort zone, but that is not where life is lived. Life is lived one daring moment at a time as you reach for new goals and bust down the walls of what holds you back from the life you actually want.
So, what is holding you back yogis and what changes can you make to push through this block? Join the discussion below or on the Facebook Page….

Staying with a friend who has a house on the Motueka River for one week so I'm all set there. I will be in the Te Anau area for a few days and hope to fish on the Waiau River which I'm reading has many areas accessible by boat only thus a guided trip is in order. Budget might allow one day of guided trip but I'm hoping to learn areas on the Waiau I can wade fish on my own. Has anybody fished this river and can give some experience about fishing there?

On July 21, Masakatsu Tamura, Nobuhiro Tsuji and porters Rajib Shah and Sarwar Khan reached the summit, followed on July 29 by Nima Temba solo. Osamu Tanabe was the leader of the seven-member Tokai Alpine Club team. Hampered by bad weather, they made two unsuccessful tries. Finally, on August 24, Tanabe, Takashi Nakamura, Kazuya Mino, Kenichi Uchida and Shinsuke Ezuka reached the summit, having bivouacked at 7600 meters. An Italian-German and an Italian expedition were successful. Of ten climbers led by Fausto De Stefani, on July 7 six reached the summit: Albert Brugger, Sergio De Leo, Tobias Heymann, Marco Bianchi, Christian Kunter and De Stefani, who with this climb has now completed the ascent of ten 8000ers. Sergio Martini led five Italians. He and Abele Blanc got to the summit.

Saїd Business School announces major redesign of its flagship one-year MBA programme
Oxford (PRWEB UK) 3 June 2014
Professor Tufano said: 'Like all business schools, at Oxford we make ongoing adjustments to our programmes to keep in step with changes in the external business environment. But a year ago we began a thorough review of the MBA programme to ensure that it was the best and most relevant programme it could possibly be, and would best equip our future leaders for the challenging careers they will experience. The new Oxford MBA is now an even more powerful, rigorous and innovative programme with a range of exciting and valuable elements from which our students will benefit.'
In the redesigned programme, courses in core business disciplines have been extended and strengthened, providing our MBA students with a solid grounding in fundamentals, which can be followed up with more advanced treatment of the topics in elective courses. Learning in the core areas will be enhanced with extended pre-arrival preparation materials and ongoing support courses. A wider range of electives will be offered, including a selection of inter-disciplinary and jointly developed courses that bring in knowledge from the wider Oxford University.
An enhanced talent development initiative will underpin formal learning, providing MBA students with the opportunity to work with an executive coach and to build skills to enhance learning and career development. The talent development programme focuses on giving students the skills they need to create impact, influence and lead effectively. Students choose from a menu of options, depending on what they individually wish to develop. Options include workshops focused on topics such as presentation skills, networking, time management, personal impact and confidence. At the heart of the redesigned MBA are three cross-cutting themes related to the world-scale challenges shaping today's business environment: the global rules of the game; entrepreneurship; and responsible leadership. These themes are addressed in specific interdisciplinary modules and extend through the other parts of the programme from core and elective courses, GOTO (Global Opportunities and Threats: Oxford), to guest speaker sessions and student-run conferences and competitions. 'We believe that future business leaders will be confronted with these complex global issues and firms will require people who have a wide range of skills and abilities to navigate the challenging landscape of global business. Knowledge in these areas is relevant whether you are working in finance or social enterprise, in a big firm or small firm, anywhere in the world' said Dr Dana Brown, MBA Programme Director.
'At Oxford we want to encourage our MBAs to challenge the rules of the game and to rethink those rules, so we want to focus in depth on exactly what those rules are' said Professor Tufano. 'We are going to explore the institutions that structure capitalism – the unwritten rules, norms and laws that shape the global economy; the international institutions, agreements, differences and disputes across borders which influence or constrain business opportunities. From the basis of sound knowledge, our MBAs should be questioning the status quo and asking how fit for purpose these rules are. They can identify the mechanisms to influence or indeed change the system. We have a young and innovative group of faculty with deep insight in this area, as well as learned colleagues from across the University, who together are going to take forward this exploration. As a result, our students will be well equipped not just to play the game but to change the game.'
The new entrepreneurship theme is focused on a distinctive business approach. 'We define entrepreneurship as the ability to effectively deploy resources to devise business solutions to complex and multifaceted challenges. Entrepreneurship is a mind-set from which all organisations doing business in the 21st century can benefit' explained Dr Brown. Through collaboration between the MBA programme, the Entrepreneurship Centre and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, the School offers an extensive portfolio of activity and support in this area, including a redesigned Entrepreneurship Project in which students work in teams through the stages of taking a business idea to fruition'.
Responsible leadership is the third theme. 'We are taking an interdisciplinary view of the role of the corporation in society, and the related ethical and governance challenges that confront business leaders' said Dr Brown. 'We want to explore what leadership means in the 21st Century in a global context. This will be an energising and challenging course which will move from the systems and societal level to the individual, and examine students' own values, career goals and responsibilities as leaders.'
'You may ask why we have undertaken such a major review' said Professor Tufano. 'After all, the programme was running really well and our students were thriving. Put simply, we wanted to future-proof the Oxford MBA. The business world is currently experiencing a period of unprecedented transformation. Rapid global economic growth, technological developments and the global financial crisis radically altered the landscape for business. Competitiveness now requires companies to think well beyond the scope of standard business models to address world-scale social, environmental, political and economic challenges. This environment needs individuals who can inspire and influence a wide range of stakeholders, and who can demonstrate responsible leadership in the face of complex and often conflicting interests. We wanted to be sure that our MBA will fulfil the needs of today's students working in this environment.'

Living Rich with Coupons Offers Top 5 Tips for Back to School Savings with Coupons
Lincorft, NJ (PRWEB) July 24, 2013
Record temperatures across much of the country this year are also an indicator of newly available hot back to school deals. With many schools starting back up in a matter of weeks, back to school savings, including printable coupons, are at a premium right now.
"The heart of summer is actually the ideal time to start thinking about back to school shopping and back to school coupons as we see more deals on essentials each week," said Cindy Livesey, founder of Living Rich With Coupons, whose family of five has saved more than $ 11,000 a year in groceries, reducing their weekly bills from $ 275 to $ 50, with a focus on becoming completely debt-free. "With a variety of coupons and printable coupons, your family can save a bundle and enjoy some great back to school deals this year."
In 2012, according to the National Retail Federation's annual back-to-school spending survey, the average person with children in grades K-12 spent almost $ 690 on back to school supplies. In addition to visiting the Living Rich With Coupons Back to School page, with deals updated weekly as well as coupons paired with national sales, Livesey offers the following top five tips for reducing the size of that annual bill:
1. Don't overbuy: This is a common mistake made during back to school shopping. Just because an item is discounted doesn't mean you have to buy 20 of it to last the entire school year. While it's wise to stock up on great deals when they're available at the absolute lowest price, it isn't always wise to buy more school supplies than needed early in the shopping season, because better deals may appear early in the school year. To avoid overbuying or buying unneeded or unnecessary items, use a checklist.
2. Check your stockpile: Before you buy anything, check to see what you already have on hand. You may already have several needed school supplies, allowing you to save money now and help your budget later in the year when it's time to replenish supplies.
3. Know what you need for the dorm: Back to school shopping for college students headed to dorms is a much bigger undertaking, one which can become quite costly if you're not prepared. Check with the school to determine what they recommend (and your child's roommate to see what can be shared); Living Rich With Coupons also has a handy College Dorm Checklist post with some more information on essentials needed for college dorm living.
4. Think outside the box: Thanks to the internet, your options for back to school savings are better than ever. Think Craigslist, Ebay or newer sites such as such as Thred Up, which offers second-hand items for a fraction of the cost. Likewise, thrift stores may have gently used backpacks, calculators and other supplies at a fraction of department store prices.
5. Don't overlook grocery store deals on school supplies: If you want to save time and money, use your favorite grocery store's weekly coupon match-ups to score some great deals on back to school essentials. In particular, look for manufacturer's coupons, which are also posted on Living Rich With Coupons, that can double grocery store deals on school supplies.
"At Living Rich With Coupons, our goal is to save you money on groceries, back to school shopping and much more. It's all about helping you live a truly 'rich' life by using coupons and enjoying amazing savings throughout the year," Livesey added.

"Herein lies a paradox of the expanding world, for while the area designated as familiar territory is larger than ever before, people find the world less and less meaningful, precisely because a large portion of the known world is familiar only from a fleeting visit and is not a place, with which people feel some affinity, where they feel at home, where they actually meet other people rather than being simply thrown together by chance.
The meaninglessness of the built environment, or rather the experience of that meaninglessness, is one of the themes of Marc Augé's (Non-places: introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity(New York, 1995)) This book hinges on the difference between place (lieu) and space (espace), where place is defined in anthropological terms as an area that has acquired meaning as a result of human activities. Augé's contention is that a growing proportion of space lacks meaning in the classic anthropological sense because nobody feels any attachment to it. He sees this phenomenon as one of the three forms of abundance characterizing what he terms the supermodern condition: an abundance of space, an abundance of signs (in today's society everybody is constantly being bombarded with information) and an 'abundance of individualization'. This third factor, too, is highly relevant to architecture in that radical individualization affects the use of public and semi-public space which is seen less as social space than as an area that everybody uses individually.
Those places to which nobody feels any special attachment and which do not function in a traditional manner as meeting places, Augé dubs 'non-places'. According to him the world is increasingly made up of such non-places which are particularly common in the sphere of mobility and consumption."

text: Godzilla Gardening: Strategies for the Reconstruction of Earthquake-Hit Urban Environments Part 1 Project 2011 Thomas Tait University of Innsbruck Innsbruck Austria This work is a proposal for a new approach to the reconstruction process of earthquake-affected urban environments with the aim to convert the energy of the earthquake into a positive urban momentum which empowers a productive reconstruction effort leading to an overall improvement of the city.Current practices constitute the relocation of the city's population, the removal of rubble and debris by large scale machinery and the construction of new, hastily designed or cloned buildings. I propose an immediate continuation of urban activity. After the earthquake, city inhabitants move matter and material to safe those trapped beneath the rubble. It is a crucial moment in which the city's construction material is moved to an unprecedented extent. I propose that this instinctive action which is for the most part executed with bare hands be extended to the whole building environment. Parts of buildings which are intact can be extended with parts of collapsed structures which are bent or fractured - a dynamic reconstruction which does not require a two hear hiatus and relocation, is immediately initiated. This way the city's reconstruction is not planned but generated, not a mere recreation, but an evolution of the urban fabric. Functions which cross and overlap in the aftermath of the earthquake spark new business models which can readily be activated by developing a space around them.To support the reconstruction my interventions in the city are a self-sufficient hydro-collector which addresses the danger of epidemics and the demands of hygiene after the earthquake, an algae-based concrete stabilisation and rebinding agent facility triggered by an earthquake's vibration and a ballet school for elephants. In the ballet school elephants will learn to stomp and run in unison, creating vibrations which will be opposed to those of the earthquake and hence counteract it's destructive effect. Furthermore they can help locating and liberating trapped human beings with the help of their acute sense of vibrations. For this latter task they will need to act cautiously and sensibly in order not to further destruct the fragile city structures. Learning ballet will teach them to move with sensibility and precision. Thomas Tait Tutor(s)

Jagermeister 56 Parts. Best as One is a new campaign from the original Fireball.
Jagermeister was the shot of choice for years for those fools who hated whiskey and tequila, and it was around long before Fireball's tiny cup of cinnamon sugar. It also has benefits beyond just the booze. Not only will Jager's 56 herbs and spices kickstart your senses, it's a digestif, making it perfect for post-meal chugging (responsibly).
Jager is also responsible for what I believe to be the 2nd best marketing campaign in the history of spirits, behind only Absolut inventing premium vodka. I'm talking about the Jagermeister Tap Machine. You know, the one that ensures icy cold shots of Jager on demand. While other bottles fought of every inch of backbar and eyeballs by growing taller, brighter, or more Aggro-Craggily shaped, Jager rolled in and claimed more than a square foot of real estate with their bright orange and black box that's akin to a Greek Siren for shot lovers. It's absolutely brilliant.
The new Jagermeister 56 campaign won't be as intoxicating, but it's still very eye-catching. To represent the 56 ingredients – take THAT KFC! – in their secret recipe, Jager commissioned three artists to create unique wooden works-of-art representing the brand's pillars – heritage, ingredients and process. Each of them is comprised of 56 individual pieces that fit together like a puzzle. Maybe it's just the puzzle lover in me, but I think they look pretty awesome.
Cheers – Yeaaah! Studio
Fount – Olivia Knapp
The Process – DKNG Studios
Now get out there and rediscover your love of Jagermeister!

Thank you for joining me for the summer redux series. I will be re-posting stories you may not have read, in the fashion of a summer re-run. We'll get back to our regular posting schedule in a few weeks. The original "Hiring the Neighborhood Assassin" posted back in August 2011. It's been embellished a little since then.
* * *
Northwest Profile: Gig Harbor Cat Lady.
She understands thirty-seven different nuances of meow. This connoisseur of cats knows the joys of feline felicity. And she employs their catlike complicity.
She married a dog lover to the horror of cat lovers—everywhere.
He's still learning to adapt.
* * *
My husband, Richard Cranium, walked into our bright white and yellow kitchen. Three generations of my family created history in this little brown and gray rambler. My aunt, Verla, and uncle, Carl, chose us over my cousins and my siblings for the next custodians. We take the job very seriously.
"We have a pest problem," said Richard, his tall, lean frame towering over me.
"What are you talking about?" The pitch of my voice taking the escalator up a level.
"Fannie, rats moved into our backyard." His shoulders sank.
"Seriously, rats?" The hair rose on my head. I smoothed back my short brown hair.
"We're not just talking squirrels anymore," said Richard, he straightened his shoulders, "it's time to think about hiring an exterminator."
"No honey, I'm sorry, but that would kill more than the rats." I may be short, but I make up for it with a look for every occasion. Look number 74: Looks can kill just like poison, we're not using poison.
Richard took a step back. "Well, what do you want to do?"
"I'm thinking nature offers us the best solution. How about we put a few of the neighborhood cats on the payroll."
"The payroll?" asked Richard, a wild fire of confusion spread across his face.
"Yeah, they work for food," I said, "or didn't you know that?" A true dog lover, when we got married he promised to love me, love my cats. He's still working on the cats.
"This is crazy." He licked his lower lip.
"No, trust me, this will work." I said. "If you feed them, they will hunt."
Throwing his hands up, "All right, we'll give it a try," he said, his voice resigned.
Taking two bowls from the kitchen cupboard, Richard filled one with water and the other with cat food. I opened the sliding glass door for him. He carried the bowls outside.
"Well, where do we put it?" asked Richard, surveying the patio.
A weathered-gray potting bench nestled up to the wall of the house to the left of the sliding glass door. On the right of the door sat a dark-brown, wood-box beverage cooler. A barrel style barbecue lived on the far end of the patio. A hot pink wooden picnic table with benches sat in the center of the patio underneath a wooden latticed arbor.
We wanted to re-paint the table my aunt and uncle left us when they moved—to the original deep red. We gave the color chip to the new clerk at our local hardware store.
The computer color-match malfunctioned. We never inspected the final paint. We didn't even think to ask. When Richard opened the can, we laughed. It birthed the phrase, 'It's pink, get over it.' We painted the table and a tombstone in it's honor.
I looked around the patio. "How about on the potting bench." I cleared the pots from one corner.
Richard arranged the feeding station. We stood back and admired the retaining fee.
"So, do you think any cats will find this?" he asked.
A Stellar's Jay landed on the bench in front of us. It gulped three kibbles, looked at us, and flew into the trees.
Laughing, I said, "If the cats don't notice that, they don't need to be on the payroll."
* * *
Two of the neighborhood strays expanded their territory into our yard.
The most promising applicant, lost part of one ear and his bones showed through his jet black fur. Lacking all originality, we called him Little Black Kitty.
After each meal, he leapt onto the wooden cooler, pressing his head up against the sliding glass door until Wicket or Sadie, our ginger tabbies, noticed. He pressed both front paws against the window, stretched, yawned, sat down. He bathed giving our cats the one-legged salute. And for the grand finale, he turned around three times and sacked out. One paw over his nose.
Whenever this occurred, Wicket, our male cat, threw himself against the window, howled and growled and yowled. He tried digging his way out. Bottle-brush bristly orange fur clothed his taunt body. Hissing and spitting and missing, he vented his fury on Sadie.
She hid.
Little Black Kitty gradually gained weight. The sun shimmered on his black fur.
* * *
After two months, Little Black Kitty attempted his first and last home entry.
Richard opened the sliding glass door balancing cat food and fresh water. Little Black Kitty dashed between his legs.
Wicket woke from a sound sleep. Leaping from his perch in our office, he charged down the hallway. Reaching maximum speed, his tormentor in sight.
Little Black Kitty froze. The whites of his eyes shone. In taunting Wicket through the sliding glass door for the last two months, Little Black Kitty never considered Wicket's near Maine Coon size.
Thwack. Thud.
Wicket removed fur from Little Black Kitty's left haunch while slamming him into the door frame. Little Black Kitty bounced off the frame and scrambled for the safety of the great outdoors.
Ignoring his own safety, Richard threw his leg between the cats. He grabbed Wicket by the scruff, preventing further pursuit. Four orange wooden legs swung in mid-air. Sabers extended.
Richard brought Wicket back inside. He locked the door.
Little Black Kitty sat on the far side of the patio for 30-minutes, facing the house—recovering.
* * *
A few days later, Little Black Kitty and I talked.
"Now that you are on the payroll, I expect you to keep up your end. We have a pest problem that I want you to eliminate for us."
Richard sat at the picnic table listening. Hugging himself, he laughed so hard he snorted. He slapped his hand against the table. When he caught his breath, he said, "Fannie, all that cat hears is blah, blah, blah. Do you really expect anything other than he will keep eating the food we put out for him?"
"Richard, just trust me on this one." I pulled out look #1 from my mother's arsenal: Mother knows best.
Richard wiped the tears from his blue eyes. "If you say so."
* * *
A week later, Richard and I ate dinner in the living room, watching a movie.
THUD. THUD. THUD. Cats shrieking in staccato. Claws scraping against glass.
We ran into the family room.
Wicket and Sadie—acting like berserkers—launched themselves into the window, rebounded onto the floor, then launched again.
Outside the window, Little Black Kitty held a limp, brown and gray rat by the neck.
When he spotted us. He dropped it on the ground, holding it in place with one paw.
Richard's mouth fell open, hitting his chest.
Chasing the cats away from the door, we scooted outside.
"Great job," I said, petting Little Black Kitty.
Little Black Kitty rubbed against my legs, winding his way between them. He stood on his hind legs, resting his front paws against my thigh.
Petting him, I said, "If you want to stay on the payroll, I expect to see more of this."
Richard moved in for a closer look at the limp form on the patio. He turned green, grabbed his stomach, his eyes watered. He took two unsteady steps backwards.
Laughter shook my body like a cheap motel bed and one to many quarters. I took a deep breath. This is not the time to laugh out loud, Fannie. My voice wobbled. "Honey, don't worry about it. There are friends who help you move, and then there are friends who help you move the bodies. If you'll take care of the spiders, I'll take care of the bodies."

By James Templeton
People pretty much live on their cell phones now. Everywhere I go I see people interacting with their phones instead of talking to the people they're with. Coming from the heart and having a real conversation is important, and I'm concerned it's a dying art. As a businessman, I wonder how people can be successful and advance in their careers if they don't know how to communicate and be outgoing in-person. As a health conscious person, I'm concerned for the health effects and cancer risks from so much phone use, especially in children.
A Little History
Cell phones were originally created for military use and made it to the mainstream without any testing of health effects, because the only criteria necessary for their type of EMF radiation to meet was that the phone not burn or shock you during use. It took a court case involving a woman who died from a brain tumor – on the side of her brain right where she held her cell phone talking for hours a day – to spark research into the safety of cell phones. And most of that research has been biased.
In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization, commissioned an expert working group to examine the research, and they concluded cell phone use is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." They found the research was biased, limited and results were inconsistent. So where does that leave us? We have to dig deeper to find the truth.
The Cancer Risk
Ann Louise Gittleman wrote a book called Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution. She analyzed the available data and found the cancer connection: cell phone EMF radiation – even below safety standards – damages cellular DNA. Damaged DNA leads to mutations, which can cause cancer, even in our offspring. This radiation leads to free radicals being formed, which are normally counteracted by antioxidants like melatonin, glutathione and SOD (superoxide dismutase), but these EMFs suppress their production.
She also found studies that show these EMFs can cause a leak in the blood-brain barrier, allowing toxic chemicals to pass through. All of these effects are magnified in children, because their bones aren't mature and radiation passes through to deeper tissues more easily.
Protect Yourself
The good news is there are ways to limit our exposure to EMFs and detox the effects of radiation in our bodies.
Limit Exposure:
- Distance matters. EMF radiation gets weaker the further you get from the source, which includes your phone, WiFi device, or cell tower. Keep your phone away from your body as much as possible, carry it in a purse or briefcase instead of your pocket. Don't charge your phone (or other electronics) near your bed, and turn off your WiFi at night to give your body a break.
- Pay attention to your signal strength. A weaker signal means an increase in EMF radiation coming from your phone. Put your phone on airplane mode or turn it off whenever possible.
- Consider an EMF reducing case. Currently, the best-rated cases are SafeSleeve and RF Safe, which block about 99% of EMFs. Third rated is a Pong case, which blocks about 67% of EMFs. The majority of EMFs come from the back of the phone, so carry the phone with the screen facing you and the back facing away from your body.
Detox Radiation Effects:
- Mind your minerals. Minerals are more important than vitamins when it comes to cellular health. Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur, Chromium, Manganese, Selenium, and Zinc all have DNA protective effects. A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive test, which measures mineral levels and their ratios in the body and will help you adjust your intake through food or supplements.
- Sweating, especially during sauna and exercise helps with the detox process. If you use FIR sauna, know its EMF ratings and make sure you aren't being exposed to more harm than good.
- Consider supplementing with Whey Protein Powder, Daily Greens Formula, Melatonin, S-Acetyl Glutathione or N-Acetyl Cysteine, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Ultra H-3, Milk Thistle, Alpha Lipoic Acid, SOD, CoQ10, Bee Propolis, and Sea Buckthorn for antioxidants and detox support.

The Archbishop, The Most Reverend Roger Herft AM, approved the unanimous election and nomination of the Cathedral Chapter for The Reverend Canon Richard Pengelley as Dean.
The Archbishop noted that "Richard is a priest of the Diocese who has a personal, costly faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. He is known for his focus on disciplined prayer, inspiring worship, scholarly devotion to Scripture, attentiveness to the Sacraments, holiness of life and willing service for others. All of these attributes will enhance his role as Dean of St George's Cathedral.
The experience and skills that Richard has gained in his varied ministries will certainly benefit the life and witness of the Cathedral.
Richard's first-hand encounter with the Aboriginal communities in Western Australia, vibrant gift of relating to young people, commitment to teaching/service learning, sport, and experience in parishes, schools, universities and university colleges, and links with Western Australia over the last 40 years provides a God-given connection with the Cathedral community, the Diocese and the wider community."

His appointment was announced by the Senior Canon of the Cathedral, The Reverend Canon Frank Sheehan, during services at St George's this morning. A member of Chapter, The Reverend Canon Kathy Barrett-Lennard said, "The long process of selection is finally over after an exhaustive search and interviews with Australian and international candidates. Chapter have reflected much and had countless hours of discussion leading to this announcement. We are very excited that Richard has accepted the challenge and believe that it has been worth the wait. We have selected an energetic and visionary priest; a person with a great heart for those who are so often forgotten and pushed to the margins of society. There is no doubt that the new Dean will reach out to the city and we expect an enthusiastic and strong response". Senior Lay Canon, Dr Ian MacLeod said: "Richard Pengelley is about making the Church relevant to contemporary society and he reaches out to those outside of the normal boundaries of comfortable socio-economic backgrounds."
Richard Pengelley is currently the Assistant Chaplain at Christ Church Grammar School. He is also the Director of the school's Service in Action programme which takes students to work with Scott Neeson's Cambodian Children's Fund, located just outside Phnom Penh.

Richard is very involved in the Positive Schools Mental Health and Wellbeing movement as an advisor, conference host and presenter.
Before coming to Christ Church two years ago, Richard was a part time lecturer at the University of Western Australia. He taught Australia's only course on "Sport and Spirituality" within the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health, where he remains an Adjunct Lecturer. During this time he was Chaplain at St George's College and sub Dean of UWA Community. He was formerly Rector of Carine-Duncraig, a parish that saw enormous growth and experienced great vitality under his leadership. Before that, he was Chaplain at Hale School. Canon Pengelley began at Hale as a PE teacher. The then newly appointed headmaster, John Inverarity asked him to consider being a lay chaplain. At that time, he felt a call to the priesthood. He studied theology at Murdoch University, was ordained and exercised his chaplaincy as a priest. In 1982 he began his teaching career at Scarborough Senior High School.
Richard went to the Los Angeles and Seoul Olympics as a member of the Australian Water Polo team.

As I mentioned last month, while trying out ClassPass, one of the studios I tried out was Barre3 in UTC/La Jolla. I had previously tried out another barre studio in San Diego and had a pretty negative experience. I was hesitant to try barre again, but after a lot of encouragement from others, I decided to give it a chance, and I'm glad I chose Barre3.
In the beginning of January, Lauren, the manager of Barre3 in UTC invited me to try out the Barre3 Challenge, which would involve taking four barre classes a week, one online class, and trying a new Barre3 recipe each week (which you receive in weekly email newsletters). The challenge began Monday, January 5 and ended yesterday, Sunday, February 1. After having such a positive first experience at this studio, I excitedly told her that I was interested and that week, the challenge began.
Each Barre3 class consists of:
- Warm-up
- Leg work
- Combo work (this is when you use weights and do full-body exercises)
- "Seat" work
- Abs
- Stretching/cool-down
Classes are an hour long, and movements are small – you are literally told to move up an inch and down an inch. Don't let the small movements fool you though – classes are tough!
Committing to four days a week was pretty easy for me; I usually attended two classes during the week and two on the weekend. Class times are consistent and offered throughout the morning and evening, so I never had a hard time fitting in a class, and the instructors rotate which classes they teach, which was great because I think I had a class with every single instructor at least once. They all have different styles, but I got to know them all, and all of them are friendly, helpful and there to give you a solid workout.
The weekly 10-minute workout was also part of the challenge. I usually did these after a run, and it was nice that I was able to do it at home. Overall, the digital support provided throughout the challenge (through weekly emails and podcasts), was really nice, but the support I felt at the studio was even better.
There was a chart on the wall where we'd put a sticker for each class that we came to, and challengers supported each other. People talked about it, encouraged each other, and the creator of Barre3, Sadie Lincoln, even came to the UTC studio to teach classes and get people even more excited about the challenge.
So what were my results from the Barre3 Challenge?
I didn't take measurements since I don't have a measuring tape, but I can tell you that there was a significant change in the composition of my body, and I did lose a few pounds. Jeans that were feeling a little tight prior to the challenge are actually comfortable to wear, and friends noted that I look more toned and everything looks a little tighter. My posture improved, clothes began fitting better, and I genuinely looked forward to class each day.
Keep in mind that I've tried every exercise in the world – Bikram, CrossFit, Les Mills classes, long distance running, spinning, and yoga. I can honestly say that none of these exercises have changed my body as much as Barre3, and I'm excited about these changes.
The challenge might be over, but I've enjoyed Barre3 so much that I plan on continuing with classes, and have even purchased a two-month membership at the studio in UTC.
Have you ever done a "challenge" at a studio? What kind of workout has prompted the most significant change in your body?
