Marlene is a magnificent cat with personality for days. This lady pops! She has it all. She loves to be the center of attention, and will totally start nonsense with other cats if it gets her what she wants. (Which is you paying attention to her, and preferably only her.) She could be a second cat, but would do best with a young, attractive male cat who knows who to listen to. Its her. Everyone needs to listen to her. Marlene likes to be in the same room as her people, but isn't pushy...unless she wants to be.
She is downright hilarious at times, and just draws your eye to her.
If you need a starlet to entertain you at all times, Marlene is up for the part!
While Marlene gives no outward signs of illness or sorrow, she did lose her family before she joined the BCR crew.
She was highly anemic, and has a discernible heart murmur that will possibly require medication in her later years.

I would like to wish everyone that celebrates it, A very happy Thanks Giving. It wasn't till tonight that I realised the choice I made for PPBF has a kind of grateful theme. Being grateful to be able to share your life with someone, with friends, family and love ones. I hope you enjoy this beautiful book.
Opening Lines: Dog had a big, blue suitcase. He took it with him everywhere. Inside were all his special things.
Why I like this: A heart-warming beautifully told story of friendship. Simply told in prose, Dog thinks he has everything he needs, and his suitcase is just right for one. But Mouse appears and after spending time together, Dog realises he doesn't have everything. The gorgeous illustrations while sweet are cool in colour to start with, giving that lonesome feeling and turn a warm beach colour when Dog and Mouse come together. It is just the sweetest book. A feeling of love, and friendship, proving that life is just right with two.

HOW ADORABLE! I think I might buy this for myself!
What a beautiful story about friendship. Like how Dog seems independent in the beginning but realizes he's missing something. What a universal theme for even adults.
This story sounds absolutely lovely! I'm glad you shared it.
Lovely story for children. I must write the name down.

Web Exclusive: Historic locomotive arrives in Carlisle for restoration
Web Extras
by: Avery Van Etten, Ben Moore
CARLISLE, Pa. (WHTM) — A historic steam locomotive built in the 1860s arrived in Carlisle today, where it will be restored to its former glory by B.R. Howard & Associates.
The locomotive, called "The Yankee," was once used to haul iron ore at a mine in Michigan. Now, it's around 60% intact.
Brian Howard, chief conservator for B.R. Howard & Associates, says it is "just a series of challenges" with the locomotive's structural insecurities and fractured components.
Adding to the difficulty of the task, Howard says there is just one other locomotive like this one… and it is located in Scotland.
"The Yankee" came to Pennsylvania from Michigan. After it's restored by the Carlisle business, it will be permanently housed at the Michigan Iron Industry Museum.

LITITZ, Pa. (WHTM) -- Jan. 12 is National Hot Tea Day, and brewing the perfect cup of tea entails more than one may think.
If you think tea isn't...well...your cup of tea, Alice Pepper, owner of A Tea Affair, says you might just be making some brewing faux pas. "A lot of people say they don't like loose leaf tea, but it's usually because it's bitter because they've over-steeped, or they've burnt the tea leaves," says Pepper.

Contractors winning sample school deals salvaged from the wreckage of Building Schools for the Future could have a golden ticket to future work for those councils, it has emerged.
H&V News understands that education secretary Michael Gove will shortly approve the use of existing BSF contracts for the remaining sample school awards.
This would mean that - contrary to expectations - winning contractors would be in line for whatever work comes up in their area under the replacement schools capital system.
A senior Whitehall source said: "The secretary of state is pleased with how the industry has responded to his challenge to find ways to develop schools at lower cost.
It is understood that the sample school contracts would not give exclusivity to contractors in the way old-style BSF deals did. But they would give councils the option of continuing with the sample project builders for jobs created after the Comprehensive Spending Review.
In August, Mr Gove approved all 33 sample schemes that have been under review since the £55 billion BSF programme was axed.
The schemes cover 14 local authorities, 11 of which had appointed preferred bidders for their wider BSF schemes. Hertfordshire has since appointed Balfour Beatty to deliver its sample schools.
Figures compiled by construction information specialist Glenigan suggest that Balfour Beatty is holding its share of UK markets.


This post is about two quick collodion-related tests I did recently. The picture above is confusing, I know – it might lead one to believe the two halves of image are, when in fact they aren't. It's ok though, hopefully it got you intrigued and reading the post will clarify everything.
Test #1 – Adding Acetone to Collodion to Bring Back Speed.
The solution people suggest to bring the speed back is to add ONE DROP of pure white acetone per 100ml of collodion. Let it sit for some days while the reaction is going, and you'll actually see it going from red to more orange and then to yellow. I had 200ml of this super-slow red stuff, so I split it into two equal halves. My memory failed me though, and instead of adding just one drop of acetone to my 100ml, I added 1ml (actually a little more), so over 10x the recommended amount!!! It still took at least 5 days to reach yellow and gain speed.
A few notes. People say that adding acetone will make your emulsion more fragile and some also say that it will make alcohol-based varnishes dissolve the image. What I found (and this is after adding WAY more acetone than recommended) is that my emulsion did in fact become A TINY BIT more fragile (less pressure was needed to scratch wet emulsion with cotton ball while wiping off oysters, for example), but the difference seemed really insignificant. No images were dissolved with varnish (I use traditional sandarac formula). I think the dissolving issue is probably unrelated to acetone. Dissolving is most likely stemming from the fact that by the time most people try the acetone trick, their collodion has been sitting for many months or even over a year, and by then nitrocellulose actually started to deteriorate. My actual collodion was new, so nitrocellulose was fresh and acetone didn't make it be re-dissolvable again by varnish.
After I did the test and the collodion with acetone performed at ISO 1 like new, I actually combined those refreshed 100ml with the other 100ml of deep red. Seeing how I had 10x more acetone in there already, I didn't add any more. It's been about a week now and the whole mix is light orange. I shot Mission Dam plates with it the other day, and basically was shooting at ISO 0.75, so I've recovered over 2 stops from its deep red state. All the plates varnished wonderfully. I think in a few more days it'll get to bright yellow, and back up to ISO 1.
TEST #2 – Three Fixers and Their Effect on Plate Brightness.
A number of years back, when I was just starting my collodion journey, I saw Alex Timmermans' Three Fixer Test as related to the eternal quest of wet plate photographers to get the brightest possible silver deposit in final image. The debate is always – is there a way to get around using KCN (KCN is potassium cyanide and is very poisonous) and still have bright warm-tone images. Alex's test seemed to show barely any difference in the final look of the image. KCN seemd a tad brighter, followed closely by Amoloco and Sodium Thiosulfate (Hypo). It seemed so close though, that for years I've been telling people that it makes barely any difference. Personally, I started using KCN from the start – if you are careful with it, there's really no danger when working with it. I like how it works, I don't need to wash my plates too long (as it washes out 4x quicker than conventional hypo), and it's also very quick-acting, which always is a visual bonus when making plates in front of people. However, a short while ago, someone with vast amount of experience did make an online remark that made me want to do my own test and see live what the difference really would be.
The way I went about it is very simple, I pretty much followed Alex's test procedure. I had the same Lea #2 collodion that was used as comparison in Test #1. A 1/6th plate size piece of black glass was scored in two places, so that later it would be easier to break it into three pieces. Using strobe lights, I made one test plate to dial in proper exposure and then made the final exposure on the pre-scored glass. After development, the plate was rinsed copiously and then split into thirds. Left part was fixed in Sodium Thiosulfate (Hypo), middle in KCN and right side in Ilford Rapid Fix. To my surprise, I saw much greater difference than I expected, with KCN showing its usual bright creamy tone, but both Hypo and Ilford tones were duller and almost into the purple range when compared to middle section. Varnishing with sandarac (last pic below) did seem to bring the tones a bit closer together, but brightness is still visibly different.
This morning I was invited by Race and Ashton, my local buddies, to go fishing at the old San Diego Mission Dam. I'm by no means a fisherman, especially being allergic to seafood of any kind, but I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to finally take the box I made for Europe Trip a couple of months ago for its first test on home soil. The 203 year old dam is now surrounded by Mission Trails Park, great place to hike by the way, and, though water barely flows this time of the year, there's still some great little nature vignettes, which one can find if they get off the beaten path far enough. The over-the-shoulder dark box setup is perfect for such excursions.
I got very lucky, and all day the low marine layer clouds kept the sun at bay, while still providing plenty of UV for collodion. Race and Ashton cast their poles into the murky pond waters, and I set up my operation under a small tree upon gravel of a dry river wash. Here's my first plate and the darkroom setup.
Meanwhile, Race knocked off his hat into the water while swinging his pole, leading to a lively rescue operation that saw the biggest catch of the day as the result. Here, the target is being zeroed in on by Ashton.
They continued to exert efforts of hooking a fish for a while, which gave me an opportunity to make a total of 7 plates including the one you see above. All of the plates were secured on first try, except for one of the compositions, the 'up the river shot'. I really wanted to use a Petzval with wider aperture to get the certain look, and thee scene was so bright that I had to try a few times before I got my lens cap shutter technique down to yield an approximately 1/4sec exposure.
By the way, today's images are all 4x5 in and were made with either of the following two lenses – Wide Angle RR Dallmeyer 1aa (4in focus) and a 7in Voigtlander Petzvla (stopped down for all exposures to 5.6). They were copied after varnishing using a Canon 5DII, and color and tone adjusted in Lightroom to match the final look as close as possible.
After getting back from Europe, it wasn't a week until Conrad Young (local wet plate photographer) had a little adventure planned for us, which would take us by Will Dunniway's place for a day and then just a day of shooting in beautiful Yosemite. Since my girlfriend, Jozlynn, hasn't been there yet, she was glad to come along as well.
Will Dunniway has been a pillar in the world of wet plate collodion for close to three decades now. He has taught numerous masters and influenced many more. Will is a very traditional shooter and his work is outstanding. Not long ago he moved from Los Angeles to the hills just south of Yosemite, so now it's a pretty good trek to visit him, but it's really worth it – he's a kind soul with immense knowledge about collodion and many other topics.
When visiting Will, Conrad and I got to pour our first 11x14 plates (a little project, which is not to be publicized, that we helped with). 11x14 is fun! A lot of ether fumes… It was a long drive from San Diego, so for the rest of the day we just relaxed, and headed to bed early in order to get to Yosemite early next day.
Will told us of a beautiful secluded spot in the middle of Yosemite Valley, from which three peaks can be photographed, and that was our first stop. After lugging the gear from our car to a little meadow a few hundred feet away, Conrad and I set up our dark boxes and went to work, while Jozlynn painted.
At this location I made 6 positive plates (1 4x5in and 5 5x7in) and 5 5x7in negatives (one scene photographed twice). Below are the plates and first prints from the 5 negatives. These are just first proofs, they were made on Kodak AZO F1 paper. I plan on printing them more seriously in the future, but this is a good representation of information in final prints.
The plan initially was to shoot at least in 3 locations, but the meadow was so serene, and views so spectacular, that, after packing up, we only had time to drive a bit farther, and into a spot where a good view of Yosemite Falls could be seen. Everywhere except for the meadow tourists were teeming, so the sense of awe in presence of such magnificent landscape was somewhat muted in intensity. The particular parking lot we chose was relatively small, and so crowds were sparse as well. Absence of tourists however was more than made up in biomass for by swarms of hungry mosquitoes. They were too slow to keep up with us as we were setting up, but made their presence known immediately as we started pouring the first plate and had to stay still. While developing one of the plates you see below, one of the little blood-suckers landed right inside my ear. I heard him fly up, I felt the bite start, I felt it all the way through, I heard him fly off… My arms were inside the film changing bag sleeves and my face buried in the snorkeling mask that acts as a window in my dark box. I was completely defenseless for approximately a minute, and that little guy knew it, picking time to start his attack with precision of a four-star general. I was robbed of a few drops of my blood, but in the end walked away with these plates, so I think it was worth it.
In order to skip LA traffic we didn't stay another night at Will's, just swung by for a bit to show our haul of plates and to say our goodbyes. We left about 10-11pm and I didn't get back home till 4am, but it was well worth the lost hours of sleep – driving through Los Angeles at any time other than 1-5am can result in many endless hours of sitting in bumper-to-bumper gridlock.
Yosemite is too close though not to go back, so in the future you might see more posts about excursions there.

Cell phones and umbrellas: Protesting Hong Kong-style
By Wilfred Chan, CNN
updated 8:48 PM EDT, Mon September 29, 2014
Hong Kong's youth protesters are using mobile apps to organize quickly
Group messages help protesters regroup and relocate at lightning speed
One group chat app, Firechat, has been downloaded 100,000 times
Online rumors have caused some confusion
Hong Kong (CNN) -- It was 10 p.m. on Sunday and 22-year-old Michelle Li, a dancer, was supposed to be in her room doing homework.
But when she saw mobile Facebook updates of police tear gassing pro-democracy protesters in downtown Hong Kong, she was too agitated to study. Grabbing her smartphone, she followed online postings to the protest site itself -- and soon had tear gas fired at her as well.
Only then did she peel her eyes from her mobile device. "While we were waging battle, we screamed out news to each other," she tells CNN. "But before and after, I'd update people on the Internet."
It's a high-tech response to a high-stress situation. Armed with top-of-the-line phones on some of the world's fastest mobile networks, Hong Kong's young protesters are able to organize themselves at a lightning pace older generations of activists could have only dreamed of.

Students demand democracy
Protesters jamming HK business district
"The Internet is a critical reason these protests have exploded so quickly and so out of control," says Li. "We all want instant news, and people are very unsettled."
Barely an hour after Li was sprayed by tear gas, many young people, clutching glowing smartphones, used group chat apps like WhatsApp and Firechat to set up a splinter protest some five kilometers (three miles) north of Hong Kong's downtown Central district.
Just before the clock struck midnight Sunday, at least 1,000 protesters -- many heeding messages that had been posted online just minutes before -- suddenly flooded the main road in Hong Kong's Mong Kok shopping district, leaving police surprised and outnumbered.
Then, in a coordinated move, dozens of young protesters parked vans and trucks in a tight formation, protectively surrounding protesters.
The police seemed unable to respond, and withdrew from the scene. Along with many other parts of Hong Kong, Mong Kok remains occupied with protesters Monday evening.

Crowd confusion
As protesters develop new ways to organize themselves online, it's become less clear who is leading.
The police may have to deploy more terrible weapons to scare us.
Michelle Li, student protester
Last night, student protest leaders -- including high school striker Joshua Wong -- asked supporters to go home out of safety, but thousands of protesters continued joining protests after midnight.
Rumors of an impending crackdown have also added to the confusion.
One message forwarded to CNN contained a cell phone recording of a young man who claimed to be the son of a police officer.
"There will be 2,000 to 3,000 riot policemen tonight," said the voice. "Please spread this, just don't quote my name."
Another image briefly sparked panic Sunday night, purporting to show Chinese military vehicles moving in toward the protest. They turned out to be photos from an unrelated date.
Beijing watching Hong Kong events
Did Hong Kong police overreact?
How does Beijing view this?
To try and calm nerves, a group of 11 journalism students at the University of Hong Kong started a Facebook page with minute-by-minute protest updates that they claim to have verified. The page, launched less than 24 hours ago, already has over 70,000 followers.
"Not many of our friends really believe what they see on TV any more," says Gloria Cheung, 23, who helps run the Facebook page. "But there are a lot of rumors causing panic on the internet."
"Right now we just want to verify information, so people don't get confused."
Locals aren't the only ones looking for news, though.
One group of volunteers has used social media to translate protest updates into thirteen languages, using the hashtag #UmbrellaMovement -- a reference to the umbrellas used by Hong Kong's protesters to shield against pepper spray.
'What's terrifying is, we're not scared'
Despite the sophistication of their tools and the efficiency of their actions, students like Cheung and Li share a sense that the world they know is falling apart.
"It's such a shock for me and my friends," says Cheung. "We have been living such a normal, protected, and comfortable life in Hong Kong. We never thought there would be tear gas explosions.'"
There will be 2,000 to 3,000 riot policemen tonight. Please spread this, just don't quote my name.
Anonymous Internet message
Li says it's frightening how quickly young people have adapted to chaos as a new normal.
At first, she said her group of friends were scared of being arrested, then they were scared of pepper spray and then they feared being tear gassed.
"What's terrifying is, we're increasingly not scared -- and the police may have to deploy more terrible weapons to scare us."
The fear of bloodshed is perhaps felt most painfully by Hong Kong's older generation, who still have memories of Tiananmen Square etched into their minds.
Li plays a WhatsApp voice message she was forwarded last night, from her former high school teacher.
"Hello students, this is your teacher, I'm safe right now, please don't worry," the woman says steadily.
Suddenly, her voice wavers and cracks with emotion.
"But please, listen to me, don't come out any more, you are just high school students. You shouldn't have to face these scenes, please go home.
"Because I don't want anything to happen to you," she continues, now crying.
"If you are at the protest right now and you can hear the sound of my voice, please leave immediately, because we just don't know what's going to happen next."

Home Accident News Hit-and-run driver sought in East Harlem crash that killed delivery worker
Hit-and-run driver sought in East Harlem crash that killed delivery worker
Finz & Finz, P.C. | November 4, 2020
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NY – Police are searching for a driver who left the scene after striking and killing a food delivery worker in East Harlem, the Daily News reports.
The crash happened Sunday afternoon at the intersection of Second Avenue and East 97th Street at about 4:30 p.m.
Police said 42-year-old Ernesto Guzman, a pizzeria worker, was riding an e-bike while on the way to make a delivery when he was hit by a black Chevrolet SUV. He was pronounced dead at Metropolitan Hospital.
The driver kept going after the accident and the SUV was found unoccupied about two blocks away from the crash scene, at 97th Street between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue. According to police, the vehicle involved is registered to a Manhattan Uber base. There was damage to the vehicle and the airbags were deployed.
Guzman was in a protected bike lane when he was hit, police said.
WABC reported that Transportation Alternatives, an advocacy group, said that Guzman was at least the 20th bicyclist killed in traffic in 2020 in New York City, compared to 27 cyclists at this time in 2019.
The group's executive director Danny Harris issued a plea for the city to take additional steps to protect cyclists and delivery workers. He released a statement that read in part, "Food delivery remains one of the most dangerous jobs in New York precisely because of constant exposure to impatient drivers piloting multi-ton assault vehicles on streets designed to move and store cars."
Another food delivery worker was struck last month by a hit-and-run driver in the Bronx.
Guzman's brother said Ernesto had immigrated to the United States from Mexico in 2000.

There are many new "enviro-friendly" fibers, and hence yarns, coming on the market these days. The latest few have come from products we usually associate with food....banana, soy, corn, seaweed.
Made as a by-product of the soybean industry, soybean protein fiber is naturally a light yellow color, like tussah silk. Soy fiber takes chemical dyes well (for those of you who are dyers, acid dyes are best and it is not as light/wash fast when dyed with natural dyes) and so this yarn is comercially available in a wide range of colors. The dyed yarn feautres both sunlight and perspiration fastness.
Soy protein yarn is lustrous like silk, and like silk, enjoys a higher breaking strength than wool and cotton (tho' lower than polyester). Unlike polyester however, soy breathes and has a moisture absorption like cotton, making it comfortable to wear in the summer.
Because of the high heat at which it is processed, you shouldn't have to worry about shrinking in the wash, and because it is fast to dry and anti-wrinkling, it makes a great garment for travel. Soy has a natural antibacterial resistance to coli bacillus, staph a., and candida albicans, so some many knitters particularly like it for children's and babies garments. It is also moth resistant.
A bit of a stretch in my mind, but an argument I know the seaweed yarn makers are claiming for their product as well (and maybe I'm just too much of a skeptic) is the health benefit of wearing this next to your skin. Rich in amino acids, soybean protein is said to activate the collagen protein in the skin.
In pilling tests, soybean yarns held up as well as similarly spun cotton yarns and better than similar polyamide yarns. Because of the low crimp in soybean fiber, it does fuzz, but does not pill the way many polyamides did in the "nylon brush" test the industry subjects its yarns to.
Sometimes carrying the label Ingeo®, which is a brand name, yarn made from corn fiber is like cotton in appearance, is breathable, has high wickability and good flame resistance. It also has more resilience and crimp than cotton, making the resulting fabric springier, and perhaps being easier on the hands to knit with. Made from a renewable natural fiber, the raw materials is abundant. Ingeo® is made by fermenting the simple sugar from the corn plant. This fermentation process transforms the sugar into a polymer called polyactide -tho' I also ran into some sources that called it polylactic acid, but in either case it is shortened to PLA-- which is then extruded at high force like other polymers into a fiber that is spun into yarn.
If you are interested in reading a bit about either bamboo or tencel, two other "green" fibers/yarns I have available, check out this page.


Truth for Healthy Living - Tests with their answers that overcome and prevent probably the most serious threats to healthy living: psychological stress with inaccurate self-esteem, smoking and overweight.
Note: You can print a copy to make the quiz easier to score.
I asked the woman I love if she thought psychological stress* is one of a small number of risk factors that cause women to have breast cancer. Judy is a good person to ask. You see . . . she is a clinical nurse specializing in cancer research for a university medical center and has worked there for 30-plus years. She is also a two-time survivor.
* Refers here to that biochemical response/strain not caused by "sympathomimetics" such as caffeine.
Judy responded with what I guessed was the usual answer to that question. She said, "There is no clear-cut evidence that stress is one of the risk factors for breast cancer." Then she explained that a few studies report that it does contribute. Most suggest the opposite . . . it doesn't.
What I thought about her response hurt my feelings. You would think that from reading what I've written she would pay little attention to some of that research. She wouldn't believe that the evidence is uncertain. I'm convinced that stress does combine with a few other important risk factors to produce this cancer! You see, I research and help people with stress.
What scared me was the thought she might be at greater risk for having cancer again because of her understandable misconception. It wasn't my fear but my affection for her that encouraged me to tell Judy what I believe that follows. If you have had breast cancer or you are at risk for it, please pay attention!
Higher levels of ongoing or chronic stress (primarily the hidden kind) do cause breast cancer and as much as any other risk factor. Meaning no criticism . . . any study, book or article that says or implies otherwise is mistaken.
How do I know? Every piece of research that I can find that uses a better measure of stress says so. At least one study, that used the less accurate way of calculating stress, also suggested that it is one of the important risks for breast cancer.
The popular "life events" way of measuring stress doesn't work well enough. The more recent version of that less accurate means of measuring stress asks you which life events (serious illness, divorce, fired from a job, a move to another home, marriage, etc.) you've experienced during the past year. The test assigns points - ranging from 18 to 123 - to those you've experienced. If when you add your numbers you get between 250 and 500, then you are supposed to have a "moderate level" of stress.
To me, that's like trying to find out if someone is cold by asking her questions such as, "How many snows did you get last year?" or "Did you sleep with a blanket on your bed last winter?"
The studies that alleged that stress wasn't a risk factor for this cancer used the "life events" test. Little wonder they found what they did!
see if they use "home remedies" (hurtful eating, etc.) to try to get some relief.
Using the "someone is cold" analogy again . . . if you want to find out if someone feels cold, simply ask her, "Do you feel cold?" In case she has been chilled so long that she somehow doesn't recognize it (like with hidden stress), you can ask her if she has symptoms, "Do you have 'goose bumps?'"
Note: There is an example of a better way to measure stress further along in this article. Feel free to take and score it.
"Life events" measures discourage a sense of competence . . . while fostering guilt in women at risk. Neither of those outcomes will be useful. One liability in saying or implying that life events cause stress is that people can easily hear the message, "There is nothing much you can do to avoid stress. After all, there is little you can (or would want to) do to sidestep many life events." Another negative is that the "life events stress tests" at least imply that women deserve blame. For example, "You made yourself stressed and sick by getting married and moving into a new home."
Our ancestors got to be our ancestors by surviving. When a dangerous animal, for instance, attacked they didn't stand around that long scratching whatever and trying to decide what to do. Anyone who did got "chomped" and didn't get to be a progenitor. What those who survived did have were thoughts that happened so quickly they didn't know they were there. Those "fast thoughts" caused the stress (the biochemical response to subconscious perceptions/thoughts of threat) that created the uncomfortable emotions that fueled their defensive behaviors. They fought, ran away or hid from what their super-quick thoughts identified as dangerous.
We have inherited that "fast thinking" ability. Those subconscious thoughts, NOT life events, cause our stress. Since we don't know the thoughts are present when they happen, they are not our fault. Tell a traffic court judge you didn't know what you did was against the "rules of the road," and she will tell you, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." In what I call the "court of life," not knowing is one of the best defenses we have. If it doesn't work, we all get "sent up the river."
We need to sense the presence and question those unknown-to-us (at the time) stress-making thoughts. Then we can learn to counter them to avoid most stress. We do that by telling ourselves what's more likely going on and true. Just as it is important to discover which germ is causing a disease, it's crucial to acknowledge and answer those honest, but mistaken, thoughts causing our stress. Note: Feeling Good, a book written by Dr. David Burns, is a reasonable introduction to this. Also see Stress and Moods Mastery. It is the first chapters and drafts of the latest edition of my health promotion program, Stress Mastery. Access is free and will remain so.
Here is an example of a more accurate measure of stress I promised to share. If you find out or confirm that you have too much stress, I very much hope you will begin to get real and safe relief . . . right away.

_1. I believe that I have too much stress.
_2. I worry about people or about things.
_3. I have a fear that interferes or holds me back. You might relate the fear to activities such as asserting yourself, calling or meeting with friends or relatives, being rejected, dealing with criticism, driving or maybe flying.
_4. I believe that one or more of my relationships at work or elsewhere suffers because of my irritability or sadness.
_5. I doubt that I'm as successful in my work or at home as I should be.
_6. The way I eat and drink is nutritionally poor or I eat too much fattening food.
_7. I have a physical problem that I suspect, or someone tells me, comes from pressures in my life. The problem could be headaches, stomach upsets, back or neck pain, difficulty sleeping, teeth grinding, bitten finger nails, excessive sweating, too much body fat, decreased romantic interest, skin problems or cold hands. Please note that factors other than stress can cause some of these physical concerns. If you haven't already, check with your physician.
_8. Most days, there are too many tasks that I should complete.
_9 . I use something to calm or relax me. Or I use something to pep me up or to give me energy/excitement. You might, for example, use nicotine, caffeine, a medicine, a dietary supplement, alcohol, a forbidden drug, gambling, risky relationships or maybe too much watching television.
_10. I exercise - not activity done at work, yard or house work - too little, or the exercise I do doesn't help enough.
If your "initial score" (above) was 59 or higher, check to see how often you gave a response of seven. (The total presence of something so infrequently happens that it's reasonable to consider such a response to be a subconscious attempt to overstate it.) Deduct two points from your "initial score" for each response of seven. If, for example, your "initial score" was 61, and you gave seven responses of seven, then subtract 14 points from your "initial score" for an "adjusted score" of 47.
If you got an "initial score" of 39 or less, you still might have some "hidden stress." Three key items can tell you if you have this concealed, and particularly menacing, stress.
using "home remedy" or "painkillers" (# nine) are common ways to unwittingly avoid an awareness of stress.
If you scored 39 or less and still rated yourself with a five or more on statement two, six or nine, then add seven points for each statement to your initial score. That means, for example, if your score totaled 37 and you rated yourself as five (or higher) on statement number two and statement nine then add 14 (two statements time seven) to your 37 for a new total of 51.
Did you respond to any of the 10 items by rating yourself with a number one? If so, add three points to your score for each. (It infrequently happens that there is a total absence of something. It's appropriate to consider such a response to be a subconscious attempt to ignore stress.) For instance, if you answered two of the statements with a number one, you would add another six points to the 51 for a final adjusted total of 57. The difference between the 37 you started with and 57 represents Hidden Stress.
If you scored (initial or adjusted) 40 to 45, chances are you have a moderate level of stress. Your score clearly points to a need to reduce your stress.
Scores (initial or adjusted) of 46 and higher suggest a high level of stress. Doing something soon that safely works to significantly lower your stress is, I believe, easily justified.
Please note: The author and publisher offer this inventory for educational purposes. No lifestyle health risk appraisal tells absolute facts. Such assessments suggest possibilities to consider. When the results make sense, then please use them to your benefit. Avoid making significant changes based on the results. Instead, use what you learn combined with appropriate professional support.

My first FUN RUN for this year 2013.
Great run with the PHILHEALTH.
I've once joined a fun run before but this PHILHEALTH FUN RUN is very different, aside from it is organized by a Government Institution, this is my first time to run alone.
Experiencing running alone. This heightened experience is common to all veteran runners. When we do running we often love to be in a group, just like you can't run without your peers, the camaraderie. Having thoughts to join the run since I myself love to run in a group. But due to some reason my partner in running did not make it so I have no choice but to run alone.
Been amazed at what I've seen on the day of my run, held at SM CITY DAVAO PARKING C. I've seen many, many people. So much traffic while entering the place.
"WOW! This is the first time I've joined a fun run with a more than a thousand runners."
The event scheduled Sunday, February 17.
It starts at exactly 4:00 in the morning.
RUNNERS are already preparing their race.
Followed by the 3K(Kiddie & Adult Race), then 5k, and lastly the 10K.
I choose to run 5k again.
My first 5k RUN is a bit scary, exciting, and overwhelming(read story here). I know I have to accelerate my run on a higher kilometer run, my last run happened to be a 7k run(read story here)but I am afraid that I can't make it to higher level trail anymore because I consider myself as an occasional runner and beside I don't have that training.
"I only run for a cause". For me my 7K run is the most difficult run I've every made.
And for this is my first run for this year, with no exercise and training, I've done my 5k run for 1 hour, 27 minutes and 32 seconds.
FOURTH FUN RUN: 5k - FINISH for 1hr and 27 minutes and 32 seconds.
Bad to see my performance decelerated. Comparing my last 5k run I've finished it for only 1 hour. Well as I've said lately I am not a professional runner. I only run occasionally but still it is a GREAT RUN for me because not only that I've received lots of freebies I also HELP raised awareness to PROTECT Mother and Children HEALTH.
Special thanks to my friend Nilo Nacion of PHILHEALTH DAVAO.
Congrats on your run. It's never about the time, it's always been the satisfaction of finishing. My nephew also run Philhealth in Baguio and had a few friends running in multiple occasion.
Just run and once you get the hang of it, the speed would follow. Nice group pictures in Davao too.
Well done, sis. I wish you even more runs to come!
Congrats Sis. Now ko lang nalaman na that you're into fun run din pala.
wow.. congrats. i want to have a run too for a cause. you know, just to have an experience, sis..
Great run Pal, great run. Kudos for finishing the fun run!
Oh my! I guess I'm the only one not "IN!". Congratulations! Without training and all, I think I just have to do it and RUN!

Mumblecore aloud
Aaron Katz
Aaron Katz is part of the newest buzzword in American cinema, 'mumblecore' – films made on shoestring budgets and with 20-something non-professional actors and unsensational narratives.
With his first two features shot for under $3000, Katz is nothing to mumble about. His newest film, Cold Weather (2010), preserves these trademarks, albeit with a larger budget, weaving them into a detective story that speaks louder than such bumbling categorizations.
Berliners will get a first-time opportunity to catch his newest gem at Berlin's best festival for American independent cinema, Unknown Pleasures. Katz can't be there, but spoke with us to compensate for his absence.
Tell us about 'mumblecore'. Most Europeans aren't familiar with it.
It may be better most Europeans aren't familiar with it. At this point it really doesn't add a lot. The term was coined by Andrew Bujalski's sound editor [Eric Masunaga] in 2005. He said it as a joke, sort of complaining about how there was a lot of mumbling, which provided a real challenge to him as sound mixer. I really don't know how it became a term for describing my films, and Joe Swanberg's, and some other people, too.
I think the common connection between all of our films is that we all made films – especially our first films – for almost nothing. Not even within the independent film system, but completely outside of it. In that way there is a connection between all of us, but I think at this point, mumblecore is more confusing than useful.
Cold Weather is a detective story, yet offers very little of the characteristic sensationalism. What was your intention by subverting genre in this way?
No matter what the genre is, I'd want to approach it so that the people within it are real people having real interactions, with the genre serving as a way to explore the relationships between the characters – I think genre filmmaking at its best is exactly that. I started out writing a film about a brother and sister who hadn't spent much time with each other since they were teenagers, getting to know each other again as adults.
I was simultaneously reading detective stories, just for enjoyment, and got the idea of incorporating the genre element into the brother-sister story. They kind of played off each other and I feel like each was enriched by the other. The brother-sister relationship I found a lot more interesting, them having to explore these things they weren't comfortable with.
The same is true for the genre aspect, this exploring of traditional genre elements, but through the lens of people who aren't experts at it. In movies and books, a lot of the time, people are like Sherlock Holmes, crack experts who never make mistakes. It was interesting to put normal people into those situations and figure out how they would react.
Even though the focus is interpersonal, you can see subtle social commentary…
I don't set out with any sort of agenda to address a certain social issue. I feel that a lot of films that purport to explore social issues, or relationships between people and how that feeds into social issues, tend to be pretty false.
I don't enjoy films that are primarily metaphorical, allegorical. For example films like Last Year at Marienbad or Céline and Julie Go Boating hold no interest to me. However, making people real and allowing them to be ordinary people, not necessarily special people – that to me is a social statement.
But this is not necessarily original. Yours feel authentic and fresh even though it's very difficult to pinpoint what makes it different.
I just try and put the actors in the best possible situation to be themselves, essentially, but in fictional circumstances. For me something that doesn't work is when you see a film that is trying to address people as people but the performances don't feel naturalistic, but learned and stiff.
For me it's not very important how an actor delivers a line specifically. My feeling is that if we do the work to understand their character, understand their circumstances, and that the actors feel comfortable and are really listening to each other in the scene, that the result is something that is going to feel natural, that is going to feel real.

Otis and his farm friends love to play hide-and-seek. Otis especially loves to be "It," finding his friends as they hide. Yet when the newest addition to the farm—a bounding puppy who can't sit still and has a habit of licking faces—tries to hide, he finds his attention wandering and is soon lost in the forest. Night falls and Otis, knowing his new friend is afraid of the dark, sets out to find him. There's just one problem: Otis is also afraid of the dark. His friend is alone and in need, though, so Otis takes a deep breath, counts to ten, and sets off on a different game of hide-and-seek.

Explore the Best OpenTable Restaurants in Every City
In a city known for dazzling cuisine and warm hospitality, setting an exceptional table is a given. What makes a Crescent City restaurant truly cutting-edge, though, is that extra something: a firm connection to its surroundings, a nose for innovation, or the ability to magnify a global trend.
In the French Quarter, a chef on a mission to reduce food waste butchers whole fish in-house. A creative sommelier takes diners on a one-of-a-kind global wine tour at a chic New American spot in the Central Business District.
These restaurants elevate the dining experience by bringing extra-special traits to the plate and the surroundings. Read on for a list of five especially innovative New Orleans spots to check out right now.

Copper Vine
No time for a tour of Napa, a jaunt to Willamette Valley, or a trip through the vineyards of Bordeaux? Fear not. Wine country comes to the table at Copper Vine. Sommelier Emily Walker guides diners through the vineyards, varietal characteristics, and innovative cellar practices surrounding some of the best wines in the world. The tasty New American plates here, such as saffron and wild American shrimp risotto and gulf fish amandine, come courtesy of chef Amy Merhtens (who once served as sous chef at the iconic Commander's Palace). The final product is an imaginative intersection of food and wine. Each experience, whether it's a wine tasting or a private dinner, is carefully curated, resulting in a laid-back but exclusive atmosphere starring wine and good times.
GW Fins
17073 recensioni
GW Fins's executive chef Michael Nelson is obsessed with sustainability, butchering all the fish in house. His latest breakthrough involves dry-aging fish in a specially designed walk-in fridge that stays at 31 degrees. One hundred to 150-pound cuts age for up to two weeks, losing about 30 percent of their weight as the skin dries, the proteins break down, and the meat intensifies in flavor. That tuna chop for two channels a tomahawk ribeye—incredibly tender, with crisp skin and an unmatched flavor. GW Fins, open seven nights a week, regularly runs specials that might feature anything from Tyee salmon (the Kobe beef of seafood) to an all-lobster menu to Saints-themed dishes and cocktails. Even the regulars at this ever-evolving spot are used to being surprised—just another reason why this restaurant is one of New Orleans's most cutting-edge spots.
Peacock Room at The Hotel Fontenot
Skipping the booze is no reason to stay away from the Peacock Room, a sexy blue bar and lounge at the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot. Here, smart bartenders know that their creative muscles don't entirely depend on spirits. Peacock's stunning zero-proof cocktails showcase the team's ingenuity and presentation skills. You won't find a mocktail as unique or beautiful as the "fuzzy drama" (peach, chamomile, lemon, celery, fennel, and non-alcoholic beer) or the coconut water-forward "mocktale as old as time." It's a thoughtful lineup confirming that low- and no-alcohol drinks are here to play. Peacock Room delivers a vibrant vibe by day and a sexy, moody atmosphere come sundown, ideal for an afternoon aperitif, social dinner, or a nightcap—spiked or not.
Jack Rose - New Orleans
Cajun Creole cuisine, heavy on the crawfish and Andouille sausage, isn't necessarily known for vegetarian dishes. At Jack Rose, a whimsical spot in the Pontchartrain Hotel decked with Instagrammable accents such as vintage tile floors and eclectic chandeliers, sous chef Takara Hein, a vegan herself, showcases some of the most inventive plant-based plates in New Orleans. Cases in point: the vegan pozole, with woodsy mushrooms standing in for the usual pork, bathed in a chile broth with hominy and crispy fried tortilla strips, or the jackfruit barbecue plate. Eat on the hotel's rose garden patio, in any of the restaurant's dining rooms, or in the funky living room, adorned with an over-the-top portrait of rapper Lil Wayne.
Atchafalaya Restaurant
Staying local is at the heart of this farm-to-table brunch hotspot serving boundary-pushing New Orleans cuisine. Locally sourced ingredients stay at the forefront on practically all the plates here: steak and eggs use Raines Farm sirloin; seasonal salad Lyonnaise is made with Covey Rise Farm's frisée and French breakfast radish and topped with Bellegarde Bakery's French bread croutons. The dishes are just a few examples of how Atchafalaya champions small local businesses. Helmed by chef Chris Lynch, a Commander's Palace alum, the restaurant continues to be a standard-setter for local cuisine. Feast on it all in an inviting Creole cottage, filled with creations by area artists.

The Only New Year's Resolution Clinton Kelly Thinks You Should Keep
Find out why "evolutions" are more effective than resolutions, according to the lifestyle guru
By Clinton Kelly Published: Dec 29, 2014
Q: Clinton, every year I set New Year's resolutions, then I slip back into the same old habits. How do I make new ones stick?.
RHONDA ROBINSON, Amarillo, TX
A: About 15 years ago I made the only New Year's resolution that I've ever kept—to stop making New Year's resolutions.
Until then, I had broken just about every one, which only made me feel like a failure. In my experience, when you feel like a failure, you tend to act like one, so I scrapped resolutions and instead adopted "evolutions." What do I mean by that? I think of evolutions as barely noticeable changes to your daily routine that nonetheless add up to big differences over time—and transform your life for the better.
RELATED: 10 Better-for-You New Year's Resolutions
To really appreciate the beauty of an evolution, you need to lose your quick-fix mentality. Of course you know that quick fixes don't work, but there's a teeny-tiny section of the human brain that's hopelessly, stupidly optimistic. That's why we still click on those online ads that promise Lose 30 pounds in 30 days with this 2-second secret!!!! Are you kidding me? People stranded on desert islands don't lose 30 pounds in 30 days.
Let's be realistic. Just because the calendar says 2015 instead of 2014, you can't go on a diet, train for a marathon, learn French and start a gluten-free cupcake business by February. (If you did even one of those, I'd be impressed.) Cut yourself some slack.
RELATED: 7 Relationship Resolutions to Make This Year
Back in the late '90s I was pretty broke, and by "pretty" broke, I mean totally broke. Even so, I was spending about $10 every weekday on designer coffee. It was time for a change. Instead of throwing away $50 a week (that's $2,600 a year!), I decided to make myself a fancy coffee at home every morning. I bought a milk frother for 20 bucks and some espresso beans, and I didn't miss that mocha-choca-latte at all. And the money I saved went to pay off some credit card debt.
Some other New Year's evolutions I've made over the past decade include sitting and watching only one hour of TV a day (unless I'm simultaneously doing something else, like ironing or folding laundry); taking the subway to work instead of a taxi; and never standing still on an escalator. Over the years these little things have led to, respectively, getting a lot more accomplished, saving a lot more money and burning a lot more calories.
This year, my evolution will be to take the high road when someone does something to upset me. For example, when people make negative comments about my new beard, I'm going to say, "Thanks so much for your interest," instead of the totally unprintable response that I'd prefer to utter. We'll all be much happier.
Happy New Year, my friends!

Lorde first English-speaking Pan Am president
DR ADRIAN LORDE has scored another first for Barbados.
He was elected president of the Pan American Confederation of Sports Medicine (COPAMEDE) – the first native English speaker to hold the office.
Lorde was unanimously elected at the Council of Delegates meeting held during the Pan Am Games Sports Medicine Congress in Toronto, on Friday, and will serve until 2019.
As president, Lorde plans to raise the profile of the hemispheric body which represents North, Central, and South America, and the Caribbean.
Speaking from Canada yesterday, the family physician who was founder and former president of the Barbados Sports Medicine Association, said his plans include revamping COPAMEDE's website, as well as revising its constitution. (SP)

A Place to Call Home: Migration and Housing
Home is where we are safe. Home is where our loved ones are. When that home becomes unsafe, is it still home? If we move away from our loved ones, where is home then? How long does it take create a new home when you move away from your roots? Is anywhere else really ever home? Or is home wherever you lay your hat?
For people migrating to new countries, home is something that is often negotiated on a daily basis. Below, we hear some of the thoughts about home collected throughout our Europeana Migration collection days.
When moving to a new land, many people who are migrating – whether through choice or circumstance – often begin their lives in their new countries in temporary accommodation. Once the journey is made, the next step is to find somewhere to live, to search for a new home.
The place we call home is a very important theme which recurs throughout many of the stories we've heard at our Europeana Migration collection days.
This blog looks at how and why people have chosen or had restrictions on where they could live, and how people make themselves feel at home when in a new country. Where we live is something many of us take for granted, but for people migrating to new countries, it's something to negotiate on a daily basis.
It's a topic that comes up in stories from the present day as well as the past.
Bricks and mortar – building a new home
Some migrant communities find ways to build their own new homes. In the stories of the Geelongskis (a Ukrainian community in Geelong, Australia) gathered by Dr Natalie Senjov-Makohon, we hear from several families who built their own wooden homes when settling in the city.
Building materials like cement, wood and nails were not readily available at the time. As many of the community were employed by a Ford Australia factory, they were able to bring wood from the car packaging crates which they broke up and used to build houses.

This photograph of Peter and Katerina Senjov's first home is one such house. Although basic, they had a roof over their heads with walls, albeit with no plaster on the walls. However, as Katerina recalls, '[we] didn't care; this was [ours] and [we] had [our] own freedom.'
Finding a place to lay your head
In Dublin, at our collection day at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Ann told us about moving from Ireland to London in the 1950s. Moving to the UK in search of work, she arrived there and found it hard to find a place to live.
'My father had a friend who was supposed to put us up, but that didn't work out and so we got a room. It was a tiny little room with no cooking facilities, a small fireplace, and we had to share a bed. It was hard to get a room in London – 'No Blacks, no Irish, no dogs' was the sign in the windows.'

Similar housing problems abound in Dublin today. Robson, living in Dublin, is part of the growing Brazilian community in Ireland. He tells us about his bedroom, which he, due to high rent prices, must share with three other people.
'Sharing a room with 4 people is not so good. It's not a big house, we don't have privacy. We want our space and it's really bad. Everyone works and studies at different times, so it's complicated.'
This story, Robson says, is very common for non-European foreigners living in Ireland.
Making a house a home
A home is more than four walls and a roof – what do people do to remind them of home, to feel at home?
Grandmother's Macrame, Simina, CC BY-SA
Simina tells us that she moved from Romania to Brussels, and how a traditional home decoration from Romania made her feel at home.
'I remember walking around my new big, already furnished house in Brussels, trying to make it feel like home. I was failing. And then I put the macrame on a cupboard and there it was: HOME!'
Michel escaped from the recent conflict in Syria in 2014 and undertook a treacherous journey, eventually living in the Netherlands. He told us that once he was more settled in Amsterdam, he asked his mother to send him some objects from home, to remind him of his good memories.
Shisha, Michel Youseff, CC BY-SA
'Shisha for us is about time spent with family and friends. We invite them, the shisha brings us all together. We connect shisha with talking, fun, love, being gezellig, as the Dutch say. If there is no shisha, we feel bored.
I still miss a lot from Syria … sometimes it's very small things I miss: the steps I used to sit on with friends, shisha, cafes I used to visit, the jasmine trees in the garden that I sat under every morning.'
Regalo de despedida, Fernando Berraquero, CC BY-SA
Fernando spoke about a large collage of photographs his friends made when he and his wife were moving from Spain to the Netherlands. The photographs show parties, holidays, celebrations with messages and dedications written on the back. It's now proudly displayed in Fernando's home in the Netherlands, a reminder of another home, of friendship, of good times.
In Fernando's story, we can see how our homes connect us with our communities and remind us of the people that mean the most to us. In that way, for some people, home is a relative concept. Home is where the heart is, as the well-known saying goes.
Taking your home wherever you go
As Chris tells us in his story, for him, home moves with him.
'Wherever I live, I tend to put my roots down … I'm a homebody. Because I'm an air-force brat, moving around when I was young, I have no strong feeling of a home. Home is where I am at the moment. For me, home isn't a place to go. It's being surrounded by the ones you love. Home is family. Your true family. Even if they don't share the same blood. My home is where people I care about are; wherever those people are.'

One thought on "A Place to Call Home: Migration and Housing"
Alexander Kelu says:
A great initiative! Very refreshing to read about how migration transforms the meaning of home.
I think it doesn't always help that "home" and "house", or "dwelling", in English (and some other languages) are often conflated. For someone who has grown up moving from place to place, home takes on a very different meaning. It is often more about a sense of home than an actual home. Artifacts, rituals, smells, the way the light falls and myriad other triggers build up to create a mental space where it feels like home.
For me, nature and the process of connecting with local landscape has become the ultimate "home". A third-culture kid, I continued relocating as an adult and have come to a realization that I don't identify so much along cultural lines but refer to nature and wilderness as both the place and the idea where it I can feel at home.


in the weekly column: "Theology active in today's Society"
On one of my travels I met the most amazing people of the earth.
I would like to share with you some aspects of the lives of those 'flesh-and-bones' people, wondering how Caratinga would be if this same spirit would 'be populating' our beloved city, where we find so many hopeless folks. I refer mainly to our young people, who, secretly or not, think about leaving us as soon as possible, because they don't see any option to develop a profession, a career, a business or a mission that requires support from others, especially from people who have some money left over.
The meeting took place in a small church building, rather a little old - the benches of which had been taken out, and replaced by tables and chairs, round tables, with quite common chairs around them.
My friend and I had wrong directions and arrived fifteen minutes late. As we entered, about 50 people were standing, singing the prayer "Our Father." 90% were young people between 20 and 40 years old.
We actually came with no expectations, since we hadn't understood the nature of the meeting. We were told it would be a meeting of business people - an opportunity to meet and connect people who were trying to develop some kind of activity that would give them sustenance.
The leader of the meeting, a rather young minister, began very much at ease, without making any promises.
He was, however, straightforward and candid as he explained that we live in a time in which the church is no longer in the spotlight of society, and that those desiring to know their vocation as Christians needed to understand foremost and above all the need to change the strategy as well: the local church is now in the outskirts of our towns and cities.
This means, he continued, that the Christian himself should be at the center, assuming that he or she were sure they have something to offer to society, especially to those who were in search of guidelines for their lives, but also to those who had been kind of 'knocked down' by circumstances of their personal or family lives, or who could not find any meaning in continuing to search, or even to live!
Soon after this brief presentation, each participant helped himself to a snack, and returned to their seats and tables. Right after half a dozen people came to the podium and shared what he or she were doing in their lives.
My companion and I left that meeting enraptured.
The reports given were simple, dressed up with real life words, filled with information without big adjectives, but the overall impact was tremendous.
When we finally left, after two hours of manifold interactions, we were very happy, and assured of having gone to a place where the program had not been done by big stars, and that something very deep and real had been passed on.
It was a night of good news!
A young lady in her 30-40 years rose along with her husband and said: - I am a physiotherapist, and fought hard to get where I am. Now, I decided to work only part-time because I want to be able to have time when someone from our community comes in need of an ear! Her husband, involved in financial planning, told how he has been able to bring hope and joy to many who came to him under a cloud of despair. - With little comments, and some tips, he said, I could bring life back to those people.
An executive spoke about his enterprise, a coffee business, aimed at providing decent work for homeless people, so that they can return to a social life and to build their own families. Another, a senior official of a multinational expressed the desire to help with his knowledge and skills (he is a lawyer) people in need of some legal help. Several others expressed that they were ready to be with him in that endeavor. He was very excited.
The subject matter of how to help a person who is experiencing difficulties, who is unemployed, or who suffered some sort of "tsunami" in his or her life had become the main keynote of the night: from different sides of the group we could hear people asking: - How can we help those who aren't able to get up by themselves? And immediately someone would tell how he or she was being that person who, without big speeches or powerful organizations, had lifted people out of poverty, from being alone and without anyone. Yes, a Christianity without religion!
The feeling we had at the exit, and who accompanied us for the rest of the week was: - Yes, it is possible to have good news, even in the midst of a chaotic world!
My expression was: - You guys are making a new theology, but - as it says in the Bible I study – it is this theology that our Master and Lord Jesus has always lived and taught!

For years, finance experts have agreed that there are three things you can do with money – spend, save, and give.
Giving of our resources is important. But it's not the only way to give. I know many people who give of their time and talent on a consistent basis. They inspire me.
So how do you give? Give of your time, gifts, and resources?
Composers are some of the most generous people on earth. And I'm happy to share this blog post with 18 inspiring composers who give on a consistent basis.
So without further adieu, let me introduce you to my friends – people who inspire me and others through their art. May their words inspire you today and challenge you to think about the ways in which you give.
I see my creative work not so much as a reflection of my ideas and personality, but as an attempt to uncover the beauty and form that already exists in the universe. I know that I'm on the right track when a certain inevitability starts to appear in my music, as if it had been there all the time. I find that rather than introspection, creation, at its best, helps me forget my limited self and tap into larger truths.
excited to hear the songs and stories! Glad that out of the darkness will get the proceeds! This is something that I pray for everyday not only for those here in Atlanta but all over the world.
Yes, such a great need throughout the world. Thanks for helping these women rewrite their stories, Cheri!
