The question I ask myself, is this something I can do forever? So far my friends and colleagues and people I just meet want more. I take the time to get to know my customers, ask them what they want, LISTEN to them.
Now, here I am, meeting fellow pastry chefs, bakers, cakers, and decorators, debating what makes a better frosting on my latest cake, rolling out fondant, while singing and laughing in the wee hours of the morning.
I am a baker/caker decorator, and I am damned proud of it!


Ro is the first and only full-stack healthcare company in the U.S.—meaning it can diagnose, prescribe, deliver treatment and maintain care all on a single platform. By owning the whole process, the tele-health brand aims to iterate quickly and provide unrivaled continuity of care between patients, physicians and pharmacists.
Ro currently houses two main branches: Roman, targeting men's health issues like ED, hair loss and more; and Zero, specifically designed for smokers looking to quit. Ahead of speaking at the Future of Retail Conference next month, Ro's co-founder and CEO, Zachariah Reitano, explains to PSFK how the company is able to offer its customers quality, convenience and competitive cost, sacrificing nothing by enabling a comprehensive program.
Could you speak about some of the industry as well as consumer trends and demands driving the work that you do with Ro?
There has been a tremendous evolution in telemedicine laws, a decade-long patent cliff of some of the most important drugs of the last 50 years, reimbursement rates for physicians are decreasing, deductibles are increasing, and the barriers to starting a healthcare company have been decreasing year over year. All of these factors have created the perfect environment to start a DTC healthcare company.
The problem is that whenever you have an incredibly complex industry, the burden is often placed on the entity or person with the least control. Unfortunately, in healthcare, this is the patient. At Ro, we see this as an opportunity and, as a result, focus on taking on the complexity so our members don't have to.
What inspired you to develop Ro? What gap did you see in the healthcare industry that you wanted to fill?
The inspiration for Ro came from personal experiences as both a patient and a family member of patients in the healthcare system. I had a heart procedure when I was 18 and other members of my family have had life threatening illnesses. We're still here going strong and some of the experiences revealed more than a few places where Ro can have a life changing impact.
Ultimately, Ro will be the place you go when you first experience a symptom and we'll guide you from diagnosis to delivery of treatment.
In order to deliver on this promise, and to truly innovate in the space, we needed to build the infrastructure from scratch. We built our own physician EMR, pharmacy software, patient application and even our own pharmacy fulfillment center, which now power both our men's health vertical, Roman, and vertical to fight addiction (starting with helping people quit smoking), Zero.
What makes Ro unique, and distinct from other healthcare services?
Ro is the first and only full-stack healthcare company in the U.S.—meaning we can diagnose, prescribe, deliver treatment and maintain unrivaled care all via a single platform. By owning the whole process, Ro can iterate far more quickly and provide unrivaled continuity of care between patients, physicians, and pharmacists.
We also work with world renowned physicians to take the luxury of concierge personalized medicine and turn it into a commodity anyone can access. Our board of medical advisors includes U.S. Surgeon Generals to Chairmen and Program Directors at NYU, Cornell and the University of Minnesota. We work with them to help understand how to operate within the healthcare system most effectively and develop some of the world's best protocols and treatment plans that can be delivered via telemedicine.
Your site reads, "We promise to make the complicated straightforward. The expensive affordable. And the frustrating delightful." Explain what this means, and how Ro works.
Healthcare is complex and this complexity isn't going anywhere anytime soon. However, this is the opportunity for Ro. By owning every part of the member experience we're able to own the complexity for members, and make their lives more simple by making ours more difficult. We take on the nitty gritty so our members don't have to.
Do you see your services as helping democratize healthcare for the 21st-century consumer? If so, how?
Absolutely. In order to democratize healthcare, it must be better, faster and cheaper. Normally, when you start a company you must choose two of the following: cost, quality and convenience. With Ro, we can provide all three simultaneously. At Ro, a doctor's visit costs less than a traditional co-pay, it takes minutes to speak to a doctor instead of 29.3 days, and the quality of care, for certain conditions, is much higher.
Explain your decision to focus on men's issues in particular—do you think men have been underserved when it comes to certain topics?
We started with men's health because ED was a challenge I faced personally. It was the first sign of a far more serious underlying heart condition. That's something that not many people know—ED is never a condition by itself. It can be the first sign of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and is commonly associated with obesity and depression. It can also be linked to poor lifestyle habits: smoking, drinking, lack of sleep or stress.
The plan was always to expand far beyond ED and beyond men's health as we did with Zero, which is our vertical devoted to addiction. We'll also expand into women's health in 2019. We're just getting started.
You emphasize convenience and personalization, two major trends taking retail by storm, with capabilities like telemedicine, free, at-home medicine delivery and on-demand member support. Could you speak to the decision to enable these options for customers?
Not having the right quantity, dose, or drug are three of the top reasons that prevent people from adhering to their medication. Therefore, we've spent the resources to make sure patients can titrate their dose, optimize their quantity and find the right medication in dialogue with their physician. We enabled these capabilities because it is better medicine. In the long run, this philosophy of always doing right by the member and the physician will win out.
What will you be sharing at the Future of Retail conference?
I'm excited to discuss how we got here and what's next for Ro. How we were able to go from 5 to 100 people and expand to more than 95% of the population in just a year.
Our goal has never been to just build a men's health company, but to reinvent the way everyone experiences healthcare.
What's in store for the future of Ro and men's healthcare—what capabilities do you hope to enable moving forward?
Ro will continue to tackle more and more complex conditions faced by millions of people across the country. You'll see us expand into women's health and continue to expand the capabilities of Zero (vertical for addiction) and Roman (vertical for men's health).

while getting ready for school Zoey told me that she wanted to go to the beach and could we be sure to get her some water shoes as soon as we see some at the store? Hmmm, I'm thinking it's it's going to probably be at least a couple more months for that idea to come to it's full fruitation.
Getting to create projects for the trade shows for Creative Imaginations has been really fun, the only downside is that my projects, once sent away are no longer mine and I most likely won't get to see them again. I really loved the above layout that I did using the Mon Ami Collection by Christine Adolph and the Creative Imaginations' decorative brads. The picture is of my little sister and I thought that the whole layout came together pretty nicely...and I loved the quote that I found to use for it as well. It seemed timely for what it is that I imagine my little sister is going through and thinking about these last days that she has in high school. I remember that time being so discouraging at times, when I was trying to figure out who I was, where I fit in and whether or not it was even worth the hassle of trying to "fit in." Anyways, it was kind of hard to let this one go.
Cut your Friendship Bridge Paper to measure 4 x 12 inches and adhere it to the middle of your Versailles Paper. Cut a piece of the Bell Raie Paper to measure 4 ¼ inch x 6 ½ inches and using your paper distressor, rough up the edges. Mat your photo to the piece of Bell Raie Paper and adhere to your center strip of Versailles Paper 2 ¼ inches down from the top of your page. Add glitter clue to your Apricot Alphabet Letters and adhere letters above your photo. Above your letters adhere your Mon Ami bird Sticker using 3 dimensional adhesive. Print journaling on to white cardstock and cut into strips. Adhere journaling strips below photo on the strip of Versailles Paper. Create paper flowers using circle cutting template (cut three different sizes of circles using different sides of your Mon Ami papers and use distressor to rough up all edges, stack circles and using your paper piercer insert Flower Brads). Attach paper flowers (using brad) to your layout scattering them to the left and to the right of your Versailles strip of paper.
Here is another layout that I created for the show using the new Lego Collection by Creative Imaginations and while I was perusing the many photos that people have taken and shared online of CHA, I was super excited to see a bit of it in someones photo stream of pictures that they took from their time at CHA. While it's not one of my favorite's (like the one above) it is still so cool to see one of my layouts hanging there on the show board, kind of makes my not being there a bit more bearable!
Here is the photo stream that I found the show photo from (there's another one of mine in her photo stream that you can see a layout that has Ethan in it, but it's not as visible as this one).
My friend (and the teacher for the evening), Misty.
There were several different steps to making the pendants...here some of us were glueing the papers to the pendants.
Betsy's trimming excess paper from her pendant here.
Tonight Zoey has Bible School (which I'm helping out with) and this afternoon we are playing a bit of catch up on things that just need getting done here around home. The sun is shining and after having an evening out I have a bit more spring in my step!
older photos last night. Here is one that I found of Ethan and Zoey...she was almost 4 months old I think at the time. I think you can tell why it is that one of her nickname's was Chubbles when she was little, look at those cheeks!
One of the great thing's about technology is that I was able to take my not so good photo (in the original you could hardly see Zoey's face as I was shooting the picture at dusk and into the light) and edit it using my computer's photo editing program so that I could indeed see my little one's face and discover that she was actually looking into the camera and at me! Amazing!
Today Zoey and I are going to spend some time baking some snacks for her day at school tomorrow (she's the snack leader). So far, we're thinking cupcakes, we'll see what transpires. Also hoping to get to the library at some point to return a video before the library police come looking for us (why is it that we can never seem to return anything on the exact day that it is due?). Tonight is Mom's Night Out for MOP's which means dinner out at my favorite restaurant and then some crafting at my local scrapbook store (which is where I work part-time). I can't wait!
Also thought I'd share this little card that I made using the Narratives Bloom Collection from Creative Imaginations...love that stuff!
Cut Bazzill cardstock (kraft) to measure 11 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches and fold card in from the left at 5 1/ 4 inches. Adhere a piece of the (#20192) Bloom Floral Lilac pp (measuring 5 x 3 inches) to the front of the card and adhere your (#20205) Bloom Epoxy sticker to the front at this time too. Stick a piece of the (#18911) Sweet Pea Paper Ribbon on right edge (the portion of the card that shows from behind) and stitch through the center. Also, stitch a border around your (#20192) Bloom Lilac pp at this time. Adhere your smaller (#20205) Bloom Epoxy sticker on your (#18911) Paper Ribbon. Last, use a hole punch to punch two holes in the center of the front, right edge of your card and thread your ribbon through the holes and tie a bow.
it seems since I've watched a really, really, really good movie but last night, Ethan and I watched a really, really, really good movie. The Visitor was one of those quiet movies that sneak up on you and totally entrap your heart. In my opinion, those are the best. The music in it is just amazing and was based on the music by a Nigerian musician, Fela Kuti. His music has been quite influential in the political community, making statements on human rights issues, etc. To check out the trailer, click here.
Just a layout to share today. The floral paper is by Scenic Route and the other pattern is by American Crafts. Chipboard letters (which I love) are by Prima and the chipboard heart (which I painted and added glitter) is by Maya Road. Buttons are either from American Crafts, Doodlebug or just random ones from my stash. The twine that I used to tie my buttons is from the Creative Imaginations' Parts & Parcels Collection. They make my favorite twine for papercrafting as it's lightly coated with a waxy covering which makes tying and inserting the twine into little spaces a piece of cake!
Zoey sang a song this morning along with her peers at the church that her Pre-School is affiliated with and she did a wonderful job, she makes me so proud. Really has been and continues to be such a blessing just to participate in all the little things that involve a little girl growing up. It's a beautiful but cold day here today, the sun is shining and all of us are at home nestled in for some good quality family time...thinking about making some Tapioca Pudding at some point with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top, mmmmmm!
There are lots of awesome pictures up now over at Scrapbook Circle of the February Kit, "Will You Be Mine?" Thought I'd take a moment and share a peek...doesn't it just make you want to get started on crafting some early special Valentines? To check out more photos of this awesome kit, check out our Scrapbook Circle blog here...the kit will be available for purchase by the first of the month so check back often and early! Hoping to get the chance to play with this myself this weekend so that I can share a little sweetness with you!
A couple of things that I am really excited about this weeks release at CHA for Creative Imaginations is the new Cardmaker's Workshop Collection by Jenn Mason. It's a pretty new concept that's designed for the masses...those people that want to create uniquely assembled and crafted cards but on perhaps less time and for, well, the masses (these cards come in multiples, many different colors and are even reversible!). To learn more about this awesome collection and when it will be released, check out the Creative Imaginations site here.
Another release that I am super excited about is Karen Russell's Narratives line. While I am bummed to hear that this will be her last release for awhile, I am super stoked that this release will include the fun camera negative strips that were released quite some time ago, but now will be available in different styles and colors! To get a peek at those and more of her release, check out her blog here. Looking forward to creating some fun layouts using those for sure!
On to other things, I'm pretty stoked to have been recently asked by another area library here to provide an introductory workshop on scrapbooking. I've booked a date with them for the early Spring of this year and am really looking forward to it and am already gathering ideas on what I will compile for the workshop. Nothing beats the opportunity to share a bit about this craft and what it can offer so many diverse individuals. If you have any ideas on what information I should be sure to include and share, please leave them here in my comments, they would be greatly appreciated!
Also am a pretty happy camper today as I received my February Kit from Scrapbook Circle in the mail! This one is a favorite (I'm pretty sure I say that every time) but this time I mean it even more, if that's possible! Of course it's got lots of reds and pinks with that certain special February holiday in mind...think Making Memories, Love Notes and Fancy Pants, Splendid and then throw in lots of other fun little bits and pieces (including some Jenni Bowlin perhaps?) and you've got one seriously awesome kit...I can't wait to share my creations using this kit with you!
I've made Pop Up Pancakes before, only I called them Puffy Pancakes and made them in a casserole dish, sometimes adding slices of apples and brown sugar to the mix. When I saw that this site had the recipe and baked them and had the idea to put them in muffin tins I had to try it out for myself. And being that the prompt for this week's Inspire Me Thursday project was "breakfast" I knew that this was the week I would be trying it. Turns out that this morning was the morning...here they are (albeit a bit deflated once out of the oven still in the pan).
And here they are on our very own (and very fashionable handmade dinosaur plate) with some powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Check out the recipe here if you so desire.
I recently discovered Liz Lamoreux's Etsy shop...my favorite pendant of hers is the one above and it's a really good mantra I think to have. Right now her apron's are on sale as well. I absolutely adore this task apron and the patchwork design of it, it reminds me of my grandmother's quilting a bit.
These Wobbly Plates make me smile from Brigitte Bouquet's Etsy Shop, and they come in many shapes and sizes as well as many different colors.
Rebecca Sower's Hodge Podge Dictionary Journal is just lovely...but then again, I love all of her creations.
This prayer (below) written by George Macdonald I consider to be a treasure (from the book, The Diary of an Old Soul). A framed print of this prayer was given to Ethan and I after we married and it hangs in our bathroom. I find that I look at it and read it every morning without even really making a point to. I love the broken-ness of the text and how it forces me to think and re-think about what it is that is being said. After researching it a bit more this morning online, I discovered that this prayer is an excerpt taken from the month of January in the book (the book is sectioned into months of the year). I am adding the book to my list of books to purchase.
Sometimes, hard-trying, it seems I cannot pray--For doubt, and pain, and anger, and all strife.Yet some poor half-fledged prayer-bird from the nestMay fall, flit, fly, perch--crouch in the bowery breastOf the large, nation-healing tree of life;--Moveless there sit through all the burning day,And on my heart at night a fresh leaf cooling lay.
The first prompt for Emily Falconbridge's year of 52 Questions was wishes for the new year...above is the front of my tag and below is what is on the back.
This past week I've been busy preparing projects for the Craft and Hobby Association Winter Trade Show that is January 25-28th in Anaheim, California. It's a time and place where all scrapbooking, papercrafting, rubber-stamping and other crafty companies gather together to show their new products that are coming out to retailers and designers alike in hopes of obtaining orders and to drum up interest in general for their products. I am honored to be one of the designers for Creative Imaginations that is creating projects with their products for displaying in their booth this year. Last year was my first time working with Creative Imaginations and it was a bit overwhelming, but I got what I needed to get done and learned a ton about what it is that I could do better and how to better simplify things for myself when preparing for future shows. This time around has gone by very smoothly. I think I just have three more project instructions to write and to send over to the art department over at Creative Imaginations and I'll be done. All my projects were sent in last week...I can't tell you how good that feels! Anyways, just getting the chance to beathe a bit here has been nice and got me thinking about projects that I did for last year's show and I realized that I haven't shared a lot of them here and thought it would be fun to take the time to do so now.
The above is the altered Bare Elements Danelle Box with 12 Books that I used the Felicity Collection of patterened papers and embellishments on by Christine Adolph. It was one of my favorite projects that I did from last years show.
for Ethan (Zoey only goes M-W-F), due to freezing, cold temperatures. Having Papa home during a weekday always makes for a different schedule of events around here. A bit lazier of a morning being one.
Around mid-morning Zoey and I managed to take off for a play date with friends which turned into a late morning playtime, nice lunch and early afternoon playtime with friends. It was really nice to get out and to have Zoey get to play with little buddies (friends that she doesn't see normally when school isn't cancelled, as one goes to school opposite days as her normally) and it was also nice for me to get some good conversation time in with a special friend.
Here is a recent layout that I did just using scraps of bits and things that were in and around my desk. Photo was taken of my dad when I was in about 6th grade I think, that would make it about 18 years old. That just doesn't seem possible.
And just one more share, (I had to...I can't help but be proud), this is actually the first ever double-layer cake that I have ever made. I am 31 years old (I think?) and just this year I braved double-layer cakes! I think I had an unnatural fear of my cakes not coming out of the pans completely, but I am thrilled to report they did!
Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. Yields about 2 cups frosting.
I found this wonderful little project complete with a tutorial posted on Katy Myhre's blog. I thought that it would be a fun card to give away to a a friend with photos included on the inside blank pages or even little tea packets like the one that Katy posted on her blog.
I made a few tiny little changes to the design and am really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the inspiration Katy!
Pocket Clipboard Created using all Creative Cafe products by Creative Imaginations.
There are some fun things going on over at the Creative Imaginations blog! Stop on over for some fun artist interviews (yesterday's post was on one of my favorite CI artists, Christine Adolph and she shares a bit about her creative process when it comes to designing her papers and product line). Today's post is a pretty awesome one if you like the Creative Imagination's product line of Creative Cafe products...if you leave a comment sharing whether or not you feel that you are making more handmade gifts these days and then if you share whether or not you would be interested in project kits (at varying cost levels) you'll be entered for a chance to win $100 worth (retail cost) of CI product! Refer a friend and you will be entered more than once! Talk about a win/win situation! Get on over there!
Getting my hands on new (at least to me) books always seems to add a little skip to my step and yes, a smile to my face. There is something so exciting about the prospect of what is inside those crisp, new book covers and when those books are crafty books, let's just say the excitement is even all the more! At least that is the case for me!
I absolutely LOVE Amy Butler's fabric designs and her projects are right up there as well. Illustrations in this book are simply stunning and patterns are included within the book. Very nice.
This book has so many amazing projects in it that I totally think I can actually make. I also am extremely impressed with the authors instructions and explanations when it comes to techniques for sewing. She includes step by step instructions for basic stitching and more complex stitching (simple, straight lock stitch, machine stitch, hand stitching, stitching around corners, back stitching, slip stitch, top stitching, box stitching and more). Tons of information on seams, stitching around corners (something that has terrified me before reading this book!), mitering corners, gathers, pleats and more. I think the reason that I am so excited about this book is that it is the first time that I've read a book on sewing and after reading the instructions and viewing the photos, I actually have the thought that it is possible that I could do this! Seriously am excited about this book...if I think I can miter corners after reading just a page or two, than just think what is possible after reading the entire book! This is a book that I am thinking will be added to my list of "books to purchase" as it would be a great reference tool as well as a wonderful project guide. Just one more thing that I love about the book is that the author leaves the creative design up to the reader...and she does this on purpose. Something that I fully appreciate!
I picked up this one just for the sheer fact that I love old stuff and I love "junking" and it's always a treat to get a new twist on what someone has done with something old that was found.
Sophie's no ordinary house spider. She's an artist; and every web she spins is more wondrous than the one before. But don't mention that to the guests at Beekman's Boardinghouse, because they don't like spiders. No one there wants anything to do with Sophie or her magnificent creations - no one except the woman on the third floor. She's a new mother "weaving" something herself; and when she runs out of yarn, Sophie knows the time has come to create the masterpiece of a lifetime.
Happy reading everyone! I know that it will be the perfect weekend for that here...cooooooold!
Here are some pictures of a clear album by Creative Imaginations that I altered using the Mon Ami Collection of patterned papers by Christine Adolph. This will be a class that I will teach later this month at my local scrapbook store.
This is a fun and pretty easy little project and would make for a perfect little brag book of photos of the kids to throw in your purse or to give away to a grandparent to do the same with pictures of grandkids enclosed! I used the patterned papers and the epoxy stickers from the January Kit for this version and was really happy with how it turned out...seems like I'm really into the blue and red color combo lately!
Here are some measurements and simple assembly instructions for this project, be sure to share your finished project if you choose to create one of these yourself as I'd love to see it!
Miscellaneous: I cut additional patterned papers and added some buttons and twine for embellishing the rest of my book once assembled.
Adhere inside panels, alternating directions when assembling. Adhere your inside journaling blocks. Fold up wallet using your score lines. Fold belly band around wallet and glue. Decorate as desired!


What if we told you that trying to stand on one leg for 20 seconds (or more) could help you gauge the health of your brain? You might think we were a bit unbalanced ourselves. But that's exactly what a new study published in the journal Stroke suggests.

Le frittelle di riso di San Giuseppe sono un dolce tradizionale per la ricorrenza della Festa del Papà il 19 marzo del Centro Italia, in particolare è preparato in Toscana e in alcune zone dell'Umbria e del Lazio.

A Prato vige il detto "S. Giuseppe non si fa senza frittelle", nel senso che la tradizione è talmente radicata da diventare un modo di dire, un proverbio. La tradizione delle frittelle di riso in Toscana è molto antica, tant'è vero che la tramanda già il "Libro de arte coquinaria" di Maestro Martino de' Rossi:

"Fa' cocere il riso molto bene ne lo lacte, et cavandolo fora per farne frittelle observerai l'ordine et modo scripto di sopra (allude alle ricette precedenti in cui si parla di "fare le frittelle tonde") con mano ovvero in quale altra forma ti piace, mettendole a frigere in bono strutto o botiro, overo in bono olio , excepto che non gli hai a mettere né caso (formaggio) né altro lacte".

Preparazione

Dopo aver cotto il riso in acqua, latte e vaniglia, si mescola con farina, uova, zucchero, lievito, un pizzico di sale, rum o sambuca; eventualmente, a seconda dei gusti, si possono aggiungere uvetta, scorzette o canditi di agrumi.
Dopo aver fatto riposare la preparazione almeno un'ora (la ricetta tradizionale prevede molte ore), si frigge a cucchiaiate e, dopo scolate, si cospargono di zucchero a velo e si servono. Sono ottime anche fredde o farcite con crema pasticcera.

What is The Human Odyssey?
Each stage of the journey into consciousness and union with our most essential self, presents us with a set of joys and challenges that converge eventually into a crisis. It sweeps us towards the point of emergence into our next stage of development or to the brink of disaster. It can be exciting, interesting, and rewarding; it can also be boring, frightening, or frustrating. The experience depends upon what we bring to it.
All aspects of life are part of a web of relationship. Each part is connected to another part. Nothing exists as an island. Human beings are only just beginning to realise how literal a truth that is, as we grapple to understand and reverse the destructive impact of our actions upon the earth and each other. The spiritual journey asks us to become systems thinkers, aware not just of ourselves, but of the 'group'.
The challenge of consciousness is a defining requirement of the evolutionary journey. It calls us to penetrate further and further into what is real and to let go of the illusions that substitute for reality. As each stage of consciousness is succeeded by the next, we are refined physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This draws us ever closer to the goal of the human journey: the union of the personality with spirit.
All of us are surrounded and influenced by centres of force: the forces of family; friends; social institutions; political systems; culture; environment; belief systems; on and on. We are one part of a system that is made up of many parts. To be alive, is to be faced with the beauty and the torment of the group. All aspects of this system we call Life, are infused and shaped also, by great archetypal centres of force. In the process of Enlightenment, the most significant centres of force from a human perspective are those known as the seven rays and the seven initiations.
The journey towards union with soul and ultimately, the God within, is restricted or bound by consciousness. But it is consciousness also that liberates us, through the exercise of spiritual will, into that final communion. The path is marked by ever widening expansions of consciousness, punctuated by pauses where little apparent progress is made, where ignorance or illusion have us in their grip. But eventually, we are drawn on by the aspiration for more, for different, for better… food, money, achievement, relationships, health, knowledge, understanding, freedom, peace, fulfilment, …If we deny aspiration or fail to aspire to that which is congruent with our challenge to growth, suffering presents itself as an alternative path to consciousness. As we act upon our aspirations towards whatever highest good we can imagine, we build capacity for the spiritual will that later, will be the means of our liberation.
Redemption is the process that restores to its right place within the Whole, all that has been cast out or separated. It is concerned not only with reclaiming that which is lost, but of liberating unexpressed potential from constricting form. Redemption is central to the purpose of human existence, to the evolution of the planet and to its place within the cosmos. Free will, life and death, create a 'forcing ground' with its gifts and necessities, which drives the redemptive process towards the unification of spirit and form.

Poland's Abortion Battle, Why Free Women Are Done With Weak Men
The so-called Black (Czarny) protesters on Oct. 24 get ready to march. - Wiktor Dabkowski/DPA/ZUMA
Only when an abortion is legal, can we begin to speak of moral decisions and love. But men, we are told, are scared and frustrated by these protests. One Polish woman's frank words for men.
Katarzyna Wezyk
WARSAW — A recent interview with Polish psychologist Pawel Drozdziak set off a renewed round of polemics following the massive nationwide protests this month against government proposals for strict bans on abortions in Poland.
Drozdziak was quoted at length in Saturday's edition of Gazeta Wyborcza, speaking about the "frustration" of Polish men, often facing economic hardship, as an explanation for incidents of lashing out at women protesters. But the psychologist apparently isn't so concerned with the frustrations of Polish mothers, who are told that their needs are secondary to the needs of their husbands, of their children, the Church and the nation.
"Uncontrolled aggression is the result of men's problems and the experience of failure," Drozdziak said. "Half a century of free competition has taken its toll. The 'frustrated man' is taking his revenge on the inaccessible independent woman from a big city."
Well, this is a very poor estimation of Polish men. If I were one, I would be offended by such generalizations. But in Poland, we are told that this is normal, this is who we are, and nothing can be done about it. And you definitely can't do anything about it by wearing black clothes and taking to the streets to protest. To think, women wanting autonomy! The possibility to decide about your own life, health, fertility and sexuality! Moreover demanding it aggressively, like a man might do, instead of, you know, in a womanly way, delicately, careful not to hurt any man's pride — and that most delicate male organ: his ego.
Then Drozdziak moves on to "feminists," who he says, "completely ignore the love that can exist between a man and a woman. I have found nothing about that feeling in any feminist studies. They mention instead the rights, the limits [...] the slogan 'my belly, my business' is in reality a symbol of great loneliness. Afterwards, you can really wear black clothes, as a symbol of mourning this time. If a man said 'your belly, your business,' what else is left?"
Freedom maybe? The right to decide about one's own body? The right to be an adult, an autonomous entity, who is able to understand a moral issue? Perhaps, for those frustrated and frightened men, somebody at the protests should have written on a banner: "Dear men! We love you, we admire you, you are the best in the world, the most clever and handsome. But, just by the way, only if you have time, can you please consider that the new abortion bill threatens our lives and health, and maybe it's not such a good idea to pass it. But you know what — no rush. Thanks for your attention. Signed, Polish women. P.S. We apologize for going to work. It won't happen again'."
Even a loved child reminds about the rape
Drozdziak then turns his attention to the male partner of a raped women who seeks an abortion "Why is he not consulted, to see if they want to bring up the rapist's child? A man who sees a woman only as a mother, and not as a sexual being, can accept something like that. Another man in such situation would lose his mind." I am not so sure about that. Maybe because it's not a man who for nine months must carry the baby inside — a baby who is the result of the worst kind of trauma that can ever happen to a human being. And a child who, even if she will be able to love it, will constantly remind her of the rape.

An American student wrote to her rapist, "You took away my worth, my privacy, my energy, my time, my safety, my intimacy, my confidence, my own voice ..." Dr. Drozdziak, can you really compare that to, as I understand your argument, the discomfort of a man, whose belonging was touched and is now going mad because he cannot look at her as a sexual object? Very brave indeed.
Abortion, as it turns out, is a legal issue. It means that either it is legal, or allowed with limitations, or completely banned. In my opinion, only when abortion is legal can we speak of the issue of love and its tragic implications, because only then can we speak of moral decision. When abortion is illegal, that decision is made for us.
Natalia's courage
Finally, it is worth mentioning another recent interview, with Polish singer and songwriter Natalia Przybysz in Gazeta Wyborcza's supplement Wysokie Obcasy. It shows the issue of abortion not from the perspective of what men might think, but simply from the point of view of woman who decided she didn't want to be pregnant. And no, it was not because of some drama — rape, health issue or genetic disease — but because she liked her life as it was, and did not want to change it. She did not want that kind of sacrifice.
Przybysz, 33, already has two young children. She said that "they also need my attention and that they also deserve to have a life. Not only to be fed and be driven from one place to another." She decided to publicly reveal that she wanted to end her pregnancy. "We live in a reality where everyone pretends that this does not happen. Every women is left alone to deal with it. So I want to say it out loud: I'm a woman who decides for herself."
And for saying that, as one could have expected, she experienced a wave of hate.
Well done for your true courage, Natalia. For speaking of your abortion of convenience as the outraged moralists, who sit on the sofa doing nothing, wrote. Because somehow I don't believe that the estimated 100,000 Polish women who have abortions every year are all facing severe circumstances. I think instead that the majority of those abortions are carried out, because in that moment of life, for this or that reason, these women did not want to or could not have a baby.
A woman's selfishness, as it turns out, is still the most horrifying thing in the world.

A total of 46 pages of gaming goodness.
Whatever happened to Battle Hack?
I still have what was designed for it. Back when I was working on it, a small publisher reached out because they wanted to couple it with a line of figures they made, but it never went anywhere.
This title was added to our catalog on May 31, 2015.


Aslamulaika. I have just recently got married to my hubby in March but have been with him for 3 years. he is abroad tho. However we argue alot over stupid things that dont matter I'm the one who says sorry and texts and calls first he has stopped doing all that he only says sorry after we start talking properly again.
How ever there's 1 more thing I think what causes us to argue is we went through with an abortion because we coudlnt keep our baby as my family hadnt done my ruksati but technicaly I'm his wife but people would have talked about me because my family got me married when we went abroad for my dadi passing away and couldn't do my ruksati as u know Asians talk saying it' only been so many days and they've got there daughter married etc but it was impossible for us to go back and do a wedding hence why family decided to to a simple nikah. And to have a big wedding later. I didn't want to go through an abortion it stills kills me I think about it everyday.
However we argue a lot and he says to me to leave him or his going to leave me and then when we talk okay he says everyone says stupid things out of anger. But why is all this happening to me I've already been through more then enough and now all this. I hate his brothers wife's also and I know they don't like me and I hate him talking to then but he ignores me. Any advice asap please. I WOULD NEVER LEAVE MY HUBBY! JAZAK ALLAH.
You went through with an abortion and are fighting about it? So, presumably he did not want the abortion and hates you for killing his baby?
I am concerned about how casually you treat abortion. Life is breathed into the foetus at 40 days - incidentally that's when electrical activity in the brain starts. If you have an abortion on the 40th day or thereafter, you are killing this person and the sin for killing a person is so enormous Allah says in the quran it is as if you have killed the whole of humanity.
Surely the life of a baby is worth more than some silly 'ruksati' ritual.
You should be worried about what Allah will do to you for killing this baby for the sake of your ritual. And of course you husband has every right to be upset as you have killed his child.
Firstly your abortion is a big sin committed by you.. Ruksati doesnt matter at all. You got pregnant after nikah and thats wat really matters.. You both should hav consulted each other regarding having a baby why were you worried about what people say..people are not gonna justify yor deeds on the day of judgement.. Its a big sin u hav committed and you need to ask forgivness to allah..
Now comin to your arguements with your husband it is very natural for a couple to fight over petty issues.. I am married and I too sometimes in a fit of anger tell my husband to leave me.. But this doesn't mean we want to break up. .it's just a moment of anger.. There are certain people in the world who never apologise first hence i believe you're husband is one of them.. Talk to him and let him know that you would also want him to initiate talks after fight sometimes when you are not willing to initiate..
Thirdly why do you hate your brothers wife?? There has to be a reason for doing so. . If there is something about their behaviour and their attitude then you need to talk to husband about it and make it clear to him that if you're being treated ill by them then you will do the same with them if you're husband doesn't take a stand.
You had your nikah done so legally/islamically you was married and having a child before the party was done would not have been a sin. You were weak minded then and now you have to be strong and accept responsibility for your action and anything that comes with it after all it could be a test from Allah or a punishment.
OP: However we argue a lot and he says to me to leave him or his going to leave me and then when we talk okay he says everyone says stupid things out of anger. But why is all this happening to me I've already been through more then enough and now all this. I hate his brothers wife's also and I know they don't like me and I hate him talking to then but he ignores me. Any advice asap please. I WOULD NEVER LEAVE MY HUBBY! JAZAK ALLAH.
How do you guys manage to argue when your husband is abroad for 3 years?
Don't try hard to win useless arguments. Don't worry if some one hate you, just be nice to them. They may become your best friends.
You should not be making such statements. Only Allah is the Judge, and only Allah decides who goes where.
I can appreciate that you mean well by advising, but such judgmental self-righteous statements can make erring Muslims go astray and lose hope instantly.
I do not intend to preach to you, but only encourage you to follow the Sunnah of being soft spoken and gentle in your speech.
Surah AL-baqarah everyday and Yasin and don't miss a day to recite Surah Al-mulk before you sleep on bed and only death will stop you from entering paradise and Allah will assign countless angels to protect you.
Are you married to the people to praise you, Marriage start with 1 date-palm(Dabino) and then where you as the woman wants it to be, or are you married for the sake of Allah ?
Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who love each other for the sake of my glory? Today, I will shelter them in my shade, for it is a day when there is no shade but mine.
Allah will say on the day of the resurrection, where are those who love one another through my glory,Today i shall give them shade in my shade it being a day where there is no shade but my shade .
[Quran 6:140] Losers indeed are those who killed their children foolishly, due to their lack of knowledge, and prohibited what God has provided for them, and followed innovations attributed to God. They have gone astray; they are not guided.
[Quran 17:31] You shall not kill your children due to fear of poverty. We provide for them, as well as for you. Killing them is a gross offense.
You both seemed like immature young people. Not sure if both of you were ready for marriage. Your not even living together yet. What is astounding is that you done a abortion simply because what the society will think. Technically you are married. You were going to wait 3 years and then throw a lavish wedding to show people and top off that abort your innocent baby. SubhanAllah. You both need to be serious and work out the marriage. Don't let culture disturb your life.

Deputy Marshal John Perry was shot and killed at a home on Osage Street in St. Louis, Missouri, while serving a warrant.
At approximately 6:50 am, Deputy Marshal Perry along with approximately ten other U.S. Marshals and St. Louis police officers, went to the suspect's home to serve a felony warrant for assault on a law enforcement officer and drug possession. The officers were able to remove several children from the home before beginning their search for the suspect. As the officers were conducting the search, the suspect opened fire, striking one deputy marshal and one St. Louis police officer. In a second exchange of gunfire, a second deputy marshal was shot and the suspect was shot and killed.
Deputy Marshal Perry was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds later in the day.
Deputy Marshal Perry had served with the United States Marshals Service for 10 years, first in Washington, DC, and then in St. Louis, and had previously served 16 years as a probation officer for the Madison County Probation and Court Services Department.

The Bayou and Swamp
Alligator Bayou The Bayou and Swamp
By Donna Jo Napoli
Have you read the discussion about alligators as symbols yet? If you haven't, click on over to read that first. We promise it will be helpful in deciphering this symbol, and we're totally down to wait.
Did you read it? Good. Welcome back. Now let's dive into the swamp (symbolically, of course—literally would be super gross).
Okay. So you know how alligator is in the title of the book and, as such, we're clued into the fact that alligators just might play a pretty symbolic role in the text? Well the same goes for bayou. And in case you didn't know, bayous are the "marshy outlet[s] of a lake or river"—and yes, that means they're pretty darn swamp-like in their own right. So for our purposes with this book, the swamp and the bayou are pretty much the same thing.
And here's the thing about swamps and bayous: you can't see what's below the surface in them. These are virtually—if not perfectly—stagnant spots of water, often with algae growing thick on the surface, and other times muddy brown . And because of this, they remind us to look for deeper—or hidden—meanings as we read.
For instance, when Calo joins Charles and some other boys to hunt alligators in the swamp, we know that danger is imminent. After all, they're just some kids on a skiff wrestling an alligator all by themselves at night—there are practically a million ways that things could go majorly wrong, right? But because these dudes are in the swamp, we have to ask ourselves what else this little fishing trip (to put it mildly) represents and, when we do, we can see that it also represents friendship and camaraderie. If we think about this in the context of the alligator as a symbol for racism (which we are totally going to do since you already read up on the alligator as a symbol), then we can also see that this coming together of Black kids and Sicilian kids is a way to combat racism, to refuse the isolation and dehumanization that racism insists upon.
The bayou and swamps don't just lead us toward happy hidden meanings, though, and it is fitting that Calo has to cross the swamp to find his way to Joseph when he is being chased by the dogs and ferocious mob at the end of the book. Here the murkiness of the terrain Calo crosses mirrors the confusion and chaos he feels as he flees the scene of his family's certain death. It is a complicated moment for Calo, fraught with difficult emotions—he feels guilty for leaving his family, but also knows there's nothing he can do to stop the mob—and as he crosses the swamp, we understand that his path to safety is about as messy as they come.
Importantly, bayou comes from a Choctaw word—bayuk—meaning small stream. What this means, is that even in the very word bayou there is more than meets the eye. It isn't just a name some dude came up with one day—it's a word that originated in the language of the people who used to live in the area, but who have subsequently been forced out by white folks. (For more on the history of white folks and Native Americans, click here.) In other words, when we pause to consider just the word bayou, we are clued into the fact that racism lurks right below the surface, which is true for Calo and his friends and family throughout this book as well.

PARENTS ANGERED AFTER PRO-TRUMP TEES DIGITALLY ALTERED FROM HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK PHOTOS
June 12, 2017 by Breck Worsham, posted in Uncategorized
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J.– Some parents at one central New Jersey high school are up in arms after discovering that their children's High School year book photos were digitally altered by someone who did not agree with the students' pro-Trump beliefs.
The parents of 17 year old Grant Berardo say they had no problem with their son's decision to wear a Make America Great Again photo on school picture day in October. They were baffled, however, they say when they discovered that the logo had been edited out when their son brought his high school year book home.
"He just wanted to memorialize what was going on in the country at the time," the boy's father, Joseph Berardo, told The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/education/wp/2017/06/12/parents-outraged-after-pro-trump-messages-were-edited-out-of-this-high-schools-yearbooks/?tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.8e1c7fb4dd4e). Bernardo says he was astounded because the shirt did not violate the school's dress code in any way and contained no reference to drugs, alcohol or weapons.
Shockingly, Bernardo's shirt was not the only pro-Trump shirt to be altered.
At least two other shirts were changed to remove pro- Trump messages. According to their parents, a Trump logo on a shirt worn by junior Wyatt Dobrovich-Fago and a quote by the president that was meant to appear beneath sister Montana's picture were also missing from the teens' year book photos. "I like thinking big. If you are going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big," the quote was supposed to read.
Janet Dobrovich-Fago, the mother of the siblings whose photos were altered, told NJ.com (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2017/06/students_trump_shirt_black-out_in_high_school_year.html) that she's outraged by what she calls a clear case of political censorship.
"We're very angry," Dobrovich-Fago said. "When we saw that Montana's quote dropped out, we thought it was a mistake because all the other class presidents' quotes were still there.
"But when we saw that Wyatt's shirt was photoshopped and we heard about Grant, I knew this was not a coincidence. This was purposeful, and it's wrong."
A spokesperson for Wall Township schools has refused to comment on who may have been behind the edits, but in a statement (http://www2.wall.k12.nj.us/superintendent/2017/06/10/yearbook-investigation/) school superintendent Cheryl Dyer said the district does not condone censorship.
The statement in its entirety reads:
"The administration of the Wall Township Public Schools is aware of an allegation of censorship and the possible violation of First Amendment rights in the high school yearbook this year. This allegation is being taken very seriously and a thorough investigation of what happened is being vigorously pursued.
As of today, two parents have notified the school district of ways in which the attire of their children was altered in yearbook photos. Further, there are claims that comments or quotes offered for inclusion in the yearbook were not published. References to and support of President Trump were involved in each of these incidents.
While the investigation is ongoing, the administration of the Wall Township Public Schools would stress three initial points:
First, there is nothing in Wall Township High School's student dress code that would prevent a student from expressing his or her political views, or support for a political figure, via appropriate clothing and attire. Indeed, the administration applauds students for becoming involved in politics, making their voices known, and taking an active part in our democracy.
Second, the administration of Wall High School was not aware of and does not condone any censorship of political views on the part of our students. This includes statements that students might make, or clothing that advocates for specific political views, candidates, or public officials. Our dress code does, however, prohibit references to illegal activity such as the use of drugs, alcohol or weapons.
Third, the administration and staff of the Wall Township Public Schools strongly value the principles of free speech and inquiry in our schools and society, viewing them as the bedrock upon which our community and educational system is built. The allegations referenced above are disturbing, and any inappropriate challenge to these principles will be rectified as swiftly and thoroughly as possible. The actions of the staff involved will be addressed as soon as the investigation is concluded.
Thank you for your concern and continued support."
As for Joseph Berardo, he feels that's just not good enough. Instead, the outraged father is demanding that the school reissue the yearbook, complete with an admission of guilt.
"I want the yearbooks to be reissued and I want a letter from the administration explaining why they are reissuing the yearbook," he said.
Berardo added that the school could utilize the incident to express the importance of the First Amendment.
"There is an opportunity to use this as a teaching moment for the kids, and for the teachers as well," the father said. "This is a First Amendment, freedom of speech issue."

A new song by AdamZ! Get ready, sit down and prepare for an amazing musical experience that will blow your speakers!
So... there we go. I'm really proud of this song. It's my best song so far, and I consider it my masterpiece *tears of joy*. This song... is something special. I really hope you enjoy it! :)
And there's more to come! I'm already working on another song! It will be released... soon? (You know, I'm on vacation. I don't really know when I'll be able to compose something...)
This song might be considered as the second part of the exam trilogy. It's not related to the previous one, but its main theme was composed during the insane exam preparation period.
Just like in "Through Time and Space", my emotions were projected into the song itself. I was super stressed, but I could already "see" the end of the pain, like a light shining in the shadows. A good 80% of the song was composed after the exam, though, more precisely in an emotion-driven period of my life. That's where the name of the song comes from. The eternal search for love, a timeless quest beyond comprehension.
The video editing was super-rushed (made in just one day!), but it came out pretty neat. This time, the focus was not on the (awesome) audio visual effects, but on the atmosphere that the song creates. Both audio and video are part of the same whole. My aim was to immerse the viewer into a "musical experience" more than just a song. I hope you like it ;)
That's it! Enjoy the song, I'll be back soon with more goodness!

Each year about this time many things happen in the US Campus Ministry: Spring Break Mission Trips, a surge of Intern applicants and a lot of full time staff applicants. It's fun to hear the bell ring in our department when someone is accepted as a staff trainee!
I (Rochelle) have been coming in to the office on Tuesdays to work with the Applicant Liaison team. This is the team that immediately responds whenever someone starts a new application and personally connects with the believer who is responding to God's call to work with Cru and helps guide them through the application process.
It's always interesting to see how we can help someone who is trying to process God's call on their lives to do something, which might be with Cru or somewhere else. Often our part is providing a bit of additional info or input to help them discern that next step.
I am working with applicants interested in serving at our World Headquarters here in Orlando as well as those applying to serve with our Military Ministry. One of the first people that I contacted after he started his application for our Headquarters was a man who has served in other ministries and was interested in a Global Leadership position with Cru! That led to a phone call and a flurry of activity with various leaders within Cru to see where his vision and abilities might fit with us. It will be interesting to see where God leads him!
I love working with the team of ladies, (pictured on right) who are also Applicant Liaisons. The group has welcomed me, trained me, and answered many questions as I am learning my new role. They have been very eager to have me join them as this is our busiest time of the year with Spring, Summer and Fall new staff training conferences coming up and one of our members is due to have her first baby in May. I will be getting more of her applicants to handle as she takes maternity leave in May.
I am still coaching one new staff couple, Josiah and Becca Kelsall, as they are finishing up their initial fund-raising. They joined staff at our summer training in 2017 and I have been with them since that time. They have seen God provide 85% of their needed funds. We are trusting God to provide all they need by May 31, so please pray for them!
I've stayed involved with a mentoring program, prayer ministry, women's Bible study, and a parenting class with church, helping with various band events, and praying with others for Josh's high school, and leading our Cru outreach at Avalon Middle School. I also try to visit my mom as often as possible, and take care of Steve, Josh, and our home. I really need your prayers for wisdom, strength, and good time-management day by day!
A few weeks ago at our Avalon Middle School Cru club, we taught the kids that Jesus call us to make a difference in our world from Matt. 5:13-16. As we discussed the idea of being salt and light as followers of Jesus, the idea came up to do a community service outreach. So on April 13th, the Cru club will visit the residents at my mom's memory care facility. The kids will help the residents make an Easter craft, sing songs together, and play some simple games. Please pray that the residents will feel God's love through the kids and that the kids will grow in their compassion for others. Thanks!

Former Florida signee Noah Dickerson commits to Washington
By Raphielle JohnsonJun 4, 2015, 8:45 PM EDT
Four-star power forward Noah Dickerson's trip through the recruiting process has been an interesting one, as the Monteverde Academy product first committed to Georgetown before deciding to reopen his recruitment. The 6-foot-8 Dickerson would then commit to and sign with Florida, only to see head coach Billy Donovan move on to the NBA.
The lone member of Florida's recruiting class to decide not to head to Gainesville, Dickerson announced Thursday night that he's decided to join Lorenzo Romar's program at Washington. Dickerson announced the news via his Twitter account, and he joins a team that will be very young in 2015-16.
Dickerson is the seventh freshman in Washington's Class of 2015 recruiting haul, with junior college transfer Malik Dime and Auburn transfer Matthew Atewe being the other additions. Atewe will have to sit out the 2015-16 season per NCAA transfer rules.
In the post Washington won't have a player who's played Division I basketball in its rotation next season. Dime played at Indian Hills CC, with freshmen Dickerson, Marquese Chriss and Devinir Duruisseau rounding out the group. Washington will have some experience at the three, with senior Quevyn Winters and sophomore Donaven Dorsey back, but those two and senior point guard Andrew Andrews are the only eligible scholarship players on the roster who played at the Division I level a season ago.
Dickerson has the size and talent needed to help the Huskies inside, and he'll need to in what shapes up to be a very important year for the program.


Was your box custom made, with the side doors? Does it have a roll up door on the back, or barn doors? I think the curb side doors would be handy. Silly question. Do you guys drive on the right in New Zealand ?
Going pretty well here. Been away to the Dominican Republic for holidays. Back to the grind now.
Have had a couple issues with the truck. Thought it was injector pump problems. Couldn't get it over 40 kph. Pulled the fuel tank, and cleaned. Still did it. Changed the suction valve on the pump. Worked good for a couple days. It didn't have any codes or lights come on. So I was stumped. Ended up changing the mass air flow sensor. That was the problem. Works perfectly now. Been getting 16 miles per gallon maybe a little better. I don't really keep track. I just put fuel in it when it needs it.
Hope all is well with you and business is good.
I don't have a FD but I do have a few other Hinos.
To the best of my knowledge, your truck should have the H07D motor at 180hp.
