15 years ago, while still living with my parents, I brought home a little white toy poodle. The second I saw her I knew I had to take her home with me. It probably would have been best to get permission to bring home a dog, but I took the risk. After about 10 minutes with her my whole family agreed that she belonged with us.
Miller was so full of life. She loved to go for car rides. Anything with water made her happy. She used to find the plants that my mom recently watered and play with the run off water until she managed to splash it all out on the floor. Her favorite thing though was playing ball. She could play ball all day. We never even taught her, she just did it. She would bring the ball back and drop it right in front of you. If you told her “I can’t reach it” she would get it and move it closer or even put it in your lap. If you still did not throw it for her she would bark at you until you did.
I used to come home from work and she would great me by dropping the ball down the stairs as I was coming in and up. Miller was one of kind. Everyone that knew her loved her. Even people that don’t like dogs could not help but love Miller.
When Miller was about 5 I started working a lot and felt that she was not getting enough attention. After thinking long and hard I knew the best thing I could do would be to give her to my mom. My mom always loved Miller. She had more time than I did and I knew Miller would get the love and attention that she deserved.
It was sad, and I missed her like crazy but I knew I made the right decision. Over the past 10 years my mom and Miller have been inseparable. Miller was less like my mom’s dog and more like her side kick or little furry shadow.
My mom took Miller sailing with her often. Some of Miller’s favorite times were spent on the boat with my mom. She even had her own little life jacket for rough waters.
My entire family has loved Miller since she joined us 15 years ago. She was so much more than a dog to all of us. There will never be another Miller.
Today Miller went in for dental surgery. She made it through the surgery, but passed away earlier this evening. She went quick and did not suffer. My mom was with her so she was not alone.
We will all miss Miller very much. I can’t imagine life with out her. The 15 years she was here with us will always be treasured. Miller, we will never forget you. You will be with us always. I hope you are somewhere playing ball now. Good bye, Miller. Thanks for all of the wonderful memories.

Because this is the world we live in, this is actually just a tease for a longer trailer that arrives tomorrow. As such, it doesn’t show much, or anything, but it does set the mood, which is fine, I guess. I like Charlie Cox, I don’t know if he’s the Man Without Fear, but we’ll find out, won’t we? We’ll see more tomorrow, but if you’re hard up, this is at least a taste.
The full Daredevil trailer hits tomorrow, and all 13 episode of the series show up on Netflix April 10.

I've been going through the parts again and I've come across a lot of the small Wilmot Breeden keys (the ones that fit the boot lid and glovebox lid). They're mostly FA, FP & FS prefixes so if anybody needs one drop me a PM and if I've got it I'll put it in the post. If the key is missing, the number should be stamped on the barrel.
Only the FS series are relevant to 'our' cars David.
I was not aware of that. I supposed I could offer the others on the Club Triumph Forum.
I'll update this list as I go along. Just drop me a PM with your name and address and I'll put it in the post.

I've still got these keys. The list is up to date. Is anybody interested in the other ones? The offer also applies to them.
Don't forget, I've still got keys available. The list of key numbers I have in my first post is kept up to date. If anyone is interested in the non-Dolomite keys let me know.

What About the Little Guy? | Ed Gurowitz, Ph.D.
As a consultant to high-tech companies for the past 20 or so years, I have watched with interest as the industry has grown and changed. Almost from its inception, the industry has been populated by entrepreneur-initiated startups, from IBM and Digital Equipment in the early days, through Intel, Sun and Oracle, to the startup explosion of the past two or three years. That explosion was made possible by the relatively easy availability of investment funds at every level from the â€œidea stageâ€ through IPOs.
Say what you will about the Internet boom, and there was an inordinate amount of foolishness associated with it, there has never been a time in the worldâ€™s his- tory where entrepreneurship was nurtured as it has been during this time period. Paradoxically, this nurturing, followed as it was by the â€œdot-com collapseâ€ last Spring, has resulted in an investment market that has plenty of money to invest but is now very reluctant to invest it, particularly in early-stage enterprises.
Venture Capitalists, â€œAngels,â€ and private investors still have enormous â€œdeal flow,â€ but have become very conservative in their investment strategies. B2C (businesses that sell directly to consumers or end-users) ventures were the first to fall from grace in favor of B2B (businesses that have other businesses as their customers), which while still possible investment targets have also gone down on investorsâ€™ priority lists. Now, conventional wisdom has it, the only way to get no- ticed is to be a company that is involved in the e-commerce infrastructure or wireless arenas, and even there the sledding is tough and the chances of regis- tering on investorsâ€™ radar are slim without personal introductions or a stellar past history of running a company that showed high returns for its investors.
Lost in all this post-bubble conservatism is the guy or gal who made it all possible in the first place, the visionary entrepreneur. Imagine a young man who had worked all his life as a salesman â€“ selling musical instruments, then cash regis- ters, and finally scales, time clocks, and adding machines â€“ who approaches an investment bank with a new idea in the area of business automation. The com- pany has already burned through four million dollars in capital, and here he is asking for an additional forty thousand for research and development that will take the company in an entirely new, direction, one that is untested and un- proven. Today he would be laughed out of the investorâ€™s office. Fortunately that scenario did not happen today, it happened in 1914. The young entrepreneur was Thomas J. Watson, Sr., the company, then called the Computing- Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) became, under Watsonâ€™s visionary lead- ership, IBM.
Where will the Watsons of 2001 go? As a consultant and interim executive I work with a number of early-stage startups with ideas as good and as sound business- wise as Watsonâ€™s was in 1914. Two years ago I could have hawked these com- panies on any street corner in San Francisco and their investment offerings would have been oversubscribed. Today, after presenting one of the best of these startups to an investor who claimed to be interested in startups, I was told â€œ(Iâ€™m) too busy to talk to a couple of guys who have a lot more to gain from us than vice-versa.â€ Well, any early- or idea-stage startup will have â€œa lot more to gainâ€ from interested investors than vice-versa, at least for a while. Thatâ€™s what early stage is about â€“ bringing an idea to the point where it can become a prod- uct and start making money for everyone involved. If the only things that are be- ing funded are â€œsure things,â€ then innovation, creativity, what Harvard professor Clay Christensen calls â€œdisruptive technologiesâ€ will go begging and the industry will stagnate.
For several years investors flew high and free, slinging money at every half- baked idea and business model that came their way and feeling like financial geniuses. As the saying goes, â€œa bull market makes everyone look smart.â€ They flew too close to the sun and since falling to Earth in the Spring of 2000 too many of them have remained buried where they augured in, afraid to even walk on the ground. Perhaps the fabled year 2001 is the time for some brave souls to see that a commitment to vision, innovation, and entrepreneurship is not only appro- priate but essential to the future of the high-tech sector and to start to make pru- dent, selective bets on some good horses. When Thomas Watson asked CTRâ€™s investors for $40,000 for R & D they pointed out that they already hadÂ $4,000,000 in the company and that CTRâ€™s condition did not justify further in- vestment. Watson replied â€œBalance sheets reveal the past; this [investment] is forÂ the future.â€ It is time for the investment community to distinguish between the euphoria and desolation of the recent past and to start to focus on the future.

I have been a member here for a while now but this will be my first post, hello Xoutpost.
My Brother has recently purchased an e46 M3 out of the UK, we are in New Zealand, unfortunately something has happened to the Sat Nav unit on the way over resulting in what i am told is the head unit taking over. Leaving us with a manky blue screen and no navigation.
I have tried to update to the new V32 OS but with no luck, have tried a few different CDs now and even the older V25 OS.
When i put the update cd in it sounds like its starts to spin it up but doesnt, and after what sounds like a few attempts at reading it, spits it out. All this time there is no indication of anything happening to the screen.
If someone here can help me out with where i am and what i need to do next that would be very much appreciated.
chances are the Nav unit is fried... did you have a transit/shipping insurance? maybe you will be able to file a claim with them? I had a similar issue with my nav - the backlight on the screen was out and the nav comp was acting up - i filed with shipping insurance, they have covered the full replacement of the 16:9 monitor and the nav computer at dealer cost, about couple thousand US$.
Make contact with ccfj1 on this board who has an e46 in UK or kiwijochen the nav expert who used to live in NZ or if all else fails see Autotronic over in Moorabbin VIC who repairs these units in Australia.
Turns out it was like that over in the UK as well, would have been good to know before hand. Anyway, thanks, ill try to make contact with one of those people see if cant make some progress.

In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Bulk CBD oil produced by the plant.
Hence, Bulk Raw CBD wholesalers in Mt. Angel need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for.

Do you see the pilots terminator-eye?
No wait, I see Spiderman, awesome shot.
That is a very good answer!
Definitely still learning the ropes of this camera (talk about a huge change from my T1i), but I really like it. I think it's smarter than me though..
We had a Gov't official in our offices today, and I was assigned the photographer job. The 1D MkIII was a great tool. I'm still so inexperienced, that I was learning 1D techniques during the event, or applying learned techniques for the first time.
The thumbstick AF point selection and all those cross-type AF points is REALLY nice. I was shooting with the 70-200, and I was able to nail focus on images that need no cropping at all -- maybe just a minor leveling -- as I was able to follow rule of the thirds with my AF point selection.
ETTL flash bounced off the white ceiling was just perfect. Low-light focus never let me down (room was dimmed for a big screen demo).
Nice shots in here. Keep them coming!
I have looked at countless images in this thread and am very impressed. Can someone explain what it is about this camera, with 10.1 mp, that produces results that rival models with twice the mp's?
This is a 1D body.
easy, you're looking at web sized images. Let's assume that the average web image posted in this thread is of the dimensions 1024x768. If we multiply those numbers together, we get 786,432, meaning that the images posted in this thread are 0.79 megapixels. At this size, any camera can look pretty good. It has more to do with the lens that is in front of the image sensor than the resolution. Also, the 1.3x crop factor helps make the lenses look even better.
When you're downsizing for the web, the difference between 10mp and 21mp is pretty negligible. I have a 1d3 and a 5d2. I could post the same photo from both bodies, and you'd probably never know the difference. If I blew them up to a poster sized print, you might be able to see something.
Honestly, I have compared RAW of swimmers with the same lens and exposure settings between my 550D and my 1D3, and the 1D images look better on screen, and print nicer on paper and canvas.
My theory is that since the "sensels" are larger, it's not as much challenging the angular resolution of the lens. I also wonder if it's just a higher quality sensor as well, with less space between the sensels -- for sure the space between the sensels is a lower % of the sensor, just because the sensels are larger.
Whatever it is, the files coming off the 1D3 look better. I've shared the RAWs with a few folks and they agree (T2i owners).

Re: U.S. hits ISIL with ‘mother of all bombs,’ April 14.
Media outlets need to report the news as it happens, but they don’t have to use insulting language to do so. I am sure that whoever came up with the nickname for this life-destroying weapon was not a mother, nor someone who respects mothers.
In the future, display some common decency and do not associate one of the most beautiful concepts in the world, the life-giving concept of motherhood, with such a life-destroying weapon.
The Second World War “Grand Slam” 20,000-lb bomb was used by Royal Air Force Bomber Command 42 times against hardened targets such as enemy submarine pens. The bombs were carried by specially modified Lancasters of the RAF’s Number 617 Squadron.
The Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) delivered by the United States Air Force off the open ramp of a C130 aircraft over Afghanistan is impressive but seems less than unique.
Re: Letters, April 17; editorial cartoon April 14.
On Monday, a letter-writer stated she wasn’t happy with the editorial cartoon that illustrated four iconic Canadian images: maple syrup, a Mountie, a moose, and now cannabis. She wrote that most Canadians have never seen a moose with the exception of the one on the back of a Canadian quarter. The animal on the tail-side of the Canadian quarter is not a moose. It’s a caribou.
Too often in modern journalism, errors such as this aren’t detected by people in editorial positions. There was a time when a dedicated effort to fact-check was important for the credibility of news-gathering and publishing. The aforementioned error may have originated with the letter-writer, but it should have been corrected by the Citizen.
Re: Kids rejoice as 45,000 Easter eggs fall from sky, April 14.
A sincere thank you to the organizers of the “We Heart Ottawa” Easter Egg drop event at the Aviation and Space Museum over the long weekend. The volunteers were friendly and even the lines didn’t seem too long due to the multitude of things to do and see.
It must be said that the egg drop event itself showcased a disgusting display of greed by some parents, who sent their older children out during the ages 3 to 5 egg drop to collect dozens and dozens of eggs in oversized garbage bags while some younger kids were unable to pick up anything. (It had been announced that children should use their supplied smaller bag and pick up roughly 10 to 12 eggs each). How are we to teach sharing and politeness to our children when they witness such callous acts of greed?

If We’re Holy, Why Does God Call Us to Be Holy?
Are Christians a truly holy people, or are we trying to become a holy people?… As an oak sapling grows, it doesn’t get “oakier.” Oak is oak. It simply matures into what it is, a full-grown oak tree.
Needless to say, maturity doesn’t occur in one giant leap, but through a process: “But we all … are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Notice it’s “from glory to glory,” not “from garbage to glory.” You are already holy in Christ … Just as an oak sapling does not get oakier as it matures, neither does a new creature in Christ get holier, more forgiven, more accepted, etc.
Critics of the modern grace message say we who preach it are opposed to holy living. Nothing could be further from the truth. What we are opposed to is the old habit of trying to make yourself holy by acting holy. You just can’t do it. The standard is too high. But the good news declares God makes us holy. He takes the shards of our broken lives and makes something beautiful, pleasing, sweet-smelling, and Christ-like.
To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints (Romans 1:7a, ESV). Be saintly because you are saints, as Paul says many times in his letter to the Romans.
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life (Romans 6:22). A better translation may be, “have fruit unto sanctification.” Holy fruit are reaped not manufactured. Like eternal life, fruit are gifts, not wages (John 3:16, 5:21).
To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be His holy people … (1 Corinthians 1:2a). You are sanctified so act like it.
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity … (Colossians 3:5a). If you’re a butterfly, don’t act like a caterpillar. If you have been given a new nature, don’t act in accordance with your old one. That’s hypocrisy. It’s pretending to be someone you are not.
It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality … (1 Thessalonians 4:3). It is God’s will that you should be sanctified in your conduct, not because your salvation hinges on it, but your wellbeing does. Sin is destructive.
Each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God (1 Thessalonians 4:4–5). You know who your Father is so don’t act like someone who doesn’t.
May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through (1 Thessalonians 5:23a). Sanctification is God’s work, not yours. Just as His gift of salvation is something to work out in your life, so is His sanctification. You already have it, so enjoy it!
But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do (1 Peter 1:15). You are not holy because you act holy. You are holy because you are children of a holy Father. Indeed, you are a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9). Be who you truly are.
New Testament exhortations to live holy should not be read as a self-help guide to holiness. Rather, they are pictures of the wholesome, healthy life we get to enjoy as we allow Christ to express His holy life through us.
New Testament exhortations to live holy are advertisements for the abundant life that is already ours in Christ.

Great explanation and scriptures! So freeing for those who will have ears to hear the truth of God’s grace and love! Thanks, Paul!
I totally get the message here. I like how Joseph Prince says, that when you really know who you are in Christ and how much you are loved and forgiven, the old sinful behavior, habits and addictions will fall off. I have found this to be true in my life. My old destructive tongue speaks less because my mind has changed, the negative thoughts are up there in the brain less and less..The old bad habits and addictions have mostly gone away because the Holy Spirit guided me with suggestions as how to break them. When you realize that it is not God that is heaping the condemnation on you, you relax and “know” that you will be victorious in becoming more holy in time… not fretting over it, not “working” at it but just having faith that God will help you overcome in time. Thank you, Paul for another thought provoking message that is so well written.
I didn’t mean to say that I would become more holy over time, but that my behavior would be more holy over time, I know that I am already holy because of the Jesus and the Cross..
Hi Paul, great post! Thank you. Amazing that we have these old timers as it were, proclaiming true holiness. Yet the Church never picked up on what they said.
I wonder if the critics of the grace message would criticise Billy Graham or Dr Jones message on holiness in the same way they do us grace people! Would they brand them heretics like they do us. I don’t think so. They wouldn’t have the balls!
They’d find some way to reason out what Billy and Martin have said!
The phrase “be holy” is an interesting one. In English, the verb “be” is the only inactive verb. In order for it to become active, it must be paired with another verb, i.e. “I am going to the store”; or “He was playing the piano.” The phrase “be holy” is to remain as you are……holy. There is nothing to “do”, but to remain as you have been re-created to be in Christ. It took me a long time for Bill Gillham’s words to sink in about this. After meeting him and Anabel one day, we discussed the idea of the oak tree. It is oak. (“Is” is the form of the verb “be”, in case you didn’t catch that.) It doesn’t become oakier as it continues to grow. Just like we, as believers in Christ, are holy, so we are encouraged to remain that way. Not that we can “unbecome” holy, for we “are” holy in Christ.
LORD open our eyes so we can see who we really are in Jesus -otherwise we will continue in the futility of false identity perceptions.
Amen! As Jesus is, so am I.
“The apostle says that we who are the priests of God have a right as priests to go to God’s mercy seat that is within the veil; but it were to our death to go there unless we were perfect. but we are perfect, for the blood of Christ has been sprinkled on us, and, therefore, our standing before God is the standing of perfection.
“To be” is not in the original text. They are “called holy people” because that’s who they are.
– Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness (Romans 6:19b).
Indeed, that’s almost exactly how the text reads in the original. “Leading to” is not there in Greek. The preposition is “εἰς” – in / into.
It is God’s will that you should be sanctified in your conduct, not because your salvation hinges on it, but your wellbeing does. Sin is destructive.
I really love how your already dynamic posts get supercharged when I read through comments. Thank you to Steve & Terminal Salvation for the original language additions. Love the Spurgeon quote about standing perfect in God’s reality vs my conscience. Neil Anderson is good too. OAKINESS.?…added to my vocabulary but more importantly that’s a great one to meditate upon and store in my heart.
When we are in hyper-sin then hyper-grace is the only gospel that can be preached, otherwise the money machine shuts down and you can’t have that in America, right?
Holiness is entirely lacking in the house of the LORD today and even the heathen know it. How else can one explain the prostitute type dressing and the immoral attire donned under the guise of fashion?
We find that once we dress our daughters unholy this way the whole land falls into whoredom and who can argue with the LORD and the facts on the ground that militate against us?
Matt 5:28 is a higher bar indeed than Leviticus 19:29, and sexual sin has absolutely collapsed the church and impeached her credibility. The entire U.S.A. church needs to repent with a sacred national assembly on this one sin alone.
Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. That means we have the grace through the blood of the Lamb and the Mighty Holy Spirit to overcome sin: we must it is a command repeated again to the churches in Revelation.
And that’s the question, no? If one is not overcoming sin, and repenting then one is in the realm of the flesh and on an entirely different road with a grim destination.
You rightly diagnose the moral problems and decay in the world my friend. But your solution of self effort holiness has virtually no foundation in gospel truth. Gods ONLY solution to moral decay in any age is not more of the self imposed superficial religion of outward dress and skin deep moral reformation used by the fathers of America. Where did that lead them? It lead them tto the moral cesspool our society is in today. The Self imposed holiness you propose of is not gospel holiness but rather this: “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
2 or else be like the world, and dress like the world, and think like the world, and minimize sexual sin (Matt 5:28) and immodest dressing. But I must tell you the truth, the Holy Spirit is Holy and the LORD has a ZERO tolerance towards sin. One look at the church and you can see she has not chosen holiness and the fear of the LORD she has taken another road altogether.
Repentance of the penance kind only brings short lived self powered change. How do I know? I lived it.
You can dress up a pig is children’s clothing and it’s still a pig. However if you change a pig through a supernatural act of God into a child then it is no longer a pig. It may take time for it to learn that it is no longer a pig but a child of God. No matter how badly it may slip back into pig pen behavior those actions do not negate the supernatural act that God wrought making it into a child.
Without “hyper-grace” you merely have religious words dressing up the lost with demands to be good, stop sinning and clean up your act. Even if a person grasps the deity of Jesus and that the cross provides forgiveness of sin but you neglect to teach them that they are no longer a pig they will continue to act like pigs because that is all anyone ever tells them they are. “Stop being so filthy you dirty sinner. Get cleaned up. Straighten out.” Until you tell them the scandalous good news of the entire gospel of Jesus(also called hyper grace) you will have a bunch of folks thinking they are pigs that need to change themselves into children of God. Until they know that they are children of God they will operate out of the flesh for their change and maturity. Until the full truth is taught the church will stay full of young women dressing like pigs and young men acting like pigs because no one is brave enough to tell them that God turned them into His children when they believed on Jesus.
You will always act out who you think you really are! My whole life is living proof of that. Holiness is of the Lord or it is self righteousness.
God’s hiway to Holiness is just that : A HIGHER WAY OF HOLINESS! That comes through trusting Christ’s holiness alone to secure and maintain every divine blessing and Christ’s holiness ALONE lived out and through those who BELIEVE – not those who try hard to be holy. Christ plus nothing is the only authentic HIGH(ER)way to holiness .
Highway- You are either full of it OR seriously deluded as to how holy the “holiness” is that God demands.
The last thing Jesus prayed for is perfect harmony , between him in the father with us, this can not be achieved if we are not holy, and God defines holy, just as he defines life. If he said it , I am it.
I know from experience that when I stopped trying and just accepted that I’m holy and my actions don’t make me holier same as my shortcomings don’t make me less holy, i flew.
If the reason for being holy is that I’m already holy, that empowers me to even unconsciously bring forth fruits of holiness.
I went almost a month without realising that I hadn’t indulged a particular weakness. It didn’t even cross my mind at all, and that’s because I want trying to stop, the way I had so often in the past. I just focused on Jesus and everything else dimmed in the light of His Love and acceptance. And these days when I am tempted, i say “Father, i can’t but You can” (got that from JP, the testimony a woman gave of how she overcame her addictions). I realise that if I could in my own strength i would have, but I can’t. I can’t but He can. I focus on Jesus’s finished work and magnify Him and not the problem.
It’s amazing. I’m so much at peace!
3.3 For you died and your life is hidden with Christ.
3.5 Therefore put to death your members that are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and covetousness which is idoaltry.
If we get fed only 3.5 with no reference to the foundation of 3.3 we will end up in legalism. But Paul does not say that we should be passive in our dealing with our sin. We are to put it to death.
Being holy is about seeing yourself in the image of Jesus because of His completed work and by the teaching and leading of the Holy Spirit. Keep reading to Col. 3:10.
But what are we to make of Col 3.5? Can we just say that 3.10 makes 3.5 redundant?
I think everyone would agree the behavior listed in verse 5 is not profitable. The question is, and the question Paul addresses is, how is this type of behavior put to death in a person’s life? Is it by man’s willpower? Well, if it is by man’s willpower, Jesus died in vein.
In verse 1, you were raised with Christ and are sitting at the right hand of God. What are you doing there if you’re not holy?
In verse 2, set your mind on things above. Does your sin qualify as things above?
In verse 3, you died. Are you trying to fix up a dead man?
In verse 4, Christ is your life. Can it also be your behavior?
Come on Paul, tell us, how do we put this sinful behavior to death?
See that old sinful man dead on the cross. See yourself as the new man given to you by Jesus. As Jesus is, so is that new man.
Our inner self in new however our flesh is still old. The old has habits and desires that are left over from the old man resided in us. Basically the dynamic is you are currently a new man but your old man’s bad habits are still hanging around and need dealt with. Will not dealing with your sin cost you anything? Not in the eternal perspective but in the temporal yeah probably.
The best way to “deal” with your sin is to first get your mind renewed about you new nature and how you are clean and accepted in the Beloved. That and cultivating an ear for the still small voice of the Holy Spirit.
Dear Paul , My husband , an elder in a small fellowship . has been told that he is dividing the fellowship over his views on Grace. He and many others are getting the revelation , it seems to be people who have been brought up in the church can’t ‘ hear ‘ it. Please pray for us . Can’t give names , we are in UK. It is very difficult and so sad when this is a revelation that sets people free !! Blessings . Me and Him !
Hi K, sadly this is a story I’ve heard many times before. I will pray. But I would also encourage you not to give up on those who have been brought up in the church. They can hear it – I know, because I’m such a person. What I have observed is people get grace at different speeds and some of us need a little longer than others. It’s important that those of us who do see it have patience and grace for those who don’t see it yet, for if we don’t give them grace, they definitely won’t see grace.
It’s hard to stay under a pastor that teaches self help and hardly ever even mentions Jesus. We started our own Grace bible study and eventually had to leave along with all of our fellow members that were in our study. It got to the point that we couldn’t sit through one more dead sermon full of self works . There comes a time when you have no more influence because you are seen as a rebel. and kind of feel like one. because your views are different from the leadership. Praise God for the freedom we feel now. Prayers are powerful, we pray for them and put them in God’s hands. We have not found a total Grace church yet, but have found one that is pretty close.
Love this. Thank you. It always comes back to our new identity in Christ. Either where slouching beneath our dignity, or trusting Christ to energize the person he’s already made us to be. Thank you for being faithful to this message. I’m encouraged to read it.
Max grace: “Slouching beneath our dignity” I love that phrase!
There are only two great motivators in everything in the life of a child of God: fear or grace. I choose grace.
well said Barry. I love the two motivators in the life of a child of God. Fear or GRACE….that is true to every one and the sad thing is that most people still lack the understanding of the liberating Gospel of the Grace of God. His undeserved, unearned, unmerited Favor (spiritual Blessing).
I love what the scriptures say and JP pointed out (interesting it was from his old auditorium so it was maybe 2 or 3 years ago or so. Maybe a rerun.) Sanctify means to make holy and Paul wrote “he who sanctifies…” (Hebrews 2:11). so He makes us holy (this is the way the NIV reads basically). Then JP said if he heals us we’re healed, if He prospers us we’re prosperous, and if He sanctifies, we’re holy.
Love this verse! Though it used to bother me – as an unattainable command – before learning about amazing grace of God. Now – it seems to be a creation command : “Light Be, and there is Light” “Be Holy, and there is Holiness” (through Jesus). Ahhh, rest, gratitude, peace, wonder, amazement….
Awesome article- thank you Dr Paul!

Neither race nor culture determines whether a nation becomes corrupt. Speakers from Latin America, Africa, Europe and The U.S.A. examined the causes and evidence of corruption in their countries. The recurring observation was that corruption was not a preserve of any ethnic group or nationality.
Rather, it is the proliferation of laws, regulations and requirements that make compliance more costly than the alternative of bribing the government official employed to enforce such rules. And the burden of complying or avoiding compliance falls most heavily on those least able to afford it: the poor, the self-employed and the average salaried worker.
The proliferation of laws and regulations leads per force to the proliferation of bureaucracies to enforce regulations against the consumer who needs to obtain a license or permit, or to comply with some rule for qualifying for such a license or permit.
In Italy a proliferation of regulations has resulted in contradictory rules being applicable to the same fact scenario: compliance, in fact, could mean finding a friendly bureaucrat disposed to apply the regulation that produces a favourable result.
But the problem is not just Italy’s. An American speaker noted that in the USA, the laws and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service comprise over 33,000 pages and that the average tax return to the IRS is never more than 50% correct. One must question the legitimacy of a compendium of laws with which the average citizen plainly cannot comply. Nonetheless the default makes him liable to criminal prosecution.
In addition to the legislated hurdles, the consumer is also compelled in many instances to discover and comply with less transparent ones: internal bureaucratic practices or government policy not in fact legislated.
An abundance of legislation, sometimes contradictory and onerous.
The application of unwritten norms that are not readily transparent.
The inconsistent or arbitrary application of real or assumed authority.
The uncertainty created by the above.
The conditions listed here prevail in most western democracies, to a greater or lesser extent. The Latin American countries are simply the most notorious examples of corruption as the norm. The “coima”, “mordida” or bribe is the currency that expedites or just makes it possible for businesses to function and daily life proceed.
Such conditions bring the Rule of Law into question, and contribute to the erosion of respect for the law. This erosion is a social cost paid by all to the detriment of the quality of life.
In immediate terms, the cost of excess or inept regulation goes beyond the overhead of office space and salaries for government officials.
The license applicant first pays the cost, in time and money spent in complying with, or bribing officials to avoid the requirements, or paying penalties for non-compliance. This increases his/her cost of doing business. Companies and the self-employed will pass on these costs to the consumer, increasing the cost of goods and services.
It is a cost paid by the salaried worker, in opportunity lost or postponed, because the status quo makes his change of status from employed to self-employed more difficult.
It is a cost paid by the poor who cannot afford either the compliance costs or the bribes, and confirms their marginalized status in society.
At the same time, the governments need to enforce compliance increases to support the bureaucracy now in place. If the department does not produce the required revenue, the government will be tempted to increase the fees or the penalties payable, or implement a new revenue-producing program. Thus begins a new cycle of the same problem.

Sun damage can creep in when you’re least expecting it.
Heading to the beach or an outdoor barbecue? Chances are good that you don a hat and sunglasses and apply sun protection like SPF 30+ lotion, cream or spray.
Unfortunately, sun damage can also creep in when you’re least expecting it. That’s one reason dermatologists recommend wearing sun protection every day, no matter what’s on your agenda.
Sunburns increase the risk of developing skin cancer, but the reality is, even people who never burn are at risk of sun damage. Any change in the color of your skin, whether it’s a tan or a burn, indicates sun damage.
Even if you slather on sunscreen every few hours, you may still be getting unanticipated sun exposure or making your skin more sensitive to the sun than it needs to be.
Watch the windows. Sunlight is made up of two kinds of ultraviolet rays: UVA and UVB. Unfortunately, glass only blocks UVB rays. UVA rays can penetrate a window and damage your skin. That’s one reason doctors often see more sun damage – and skin cancer – on the left side of people’s faces compared to the right. The driver’s side car window offers unparalleled sun exposure. Heading on a road trip? Use sunscreen all over your face and also on your exposed left arm.
Mind your meds. Certain medications, including some antibiotics, antihistamines, birth control pills, acne medications and diabetes drugs can cause your skin to be more sensitive to the sun. The meds cause a chemical change in the skin that makes it more vulnerable to sunburns.
Beware of essential oils. Avoid dabbing yourself with oils before heading outdoors: Certain essential oils can also cause photosensitivity. Aromatic favorites such as bergamot, wild orange, lemon and lavender may trigger sun sensitivity. Even something as innocent as lime juice can become toxic in the sunshine. A chemical reaction takes place between the oil and sunlight, resulting in blistering and redness that may leave behind areas of darkness.
Check your skin care products. Most people know that skin care products containing retinols can make skin more sun sensitive. Ingredients such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) can also make your skin more vulnerable.
Pay attention to neglected areas. Areas that we often forget to protect from the sun include hands, feet, scalp, part lines in the hair, as well as open patterns in bathing suits and sandals. Every uncovered area of your skin is vulnerable. Your eyes are also vulnerable, so make sure to wear sunglasses whenever you’re outdoors.
Don’t trust cloud coverage. Contrary to popular belief, as much as 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays bust through clouds. That’s why you can still tan and burn on cloudy, overcast days. People who have a history of skin cancer, and those who have fair skin, red hair and a lot of freckles are especially vulnerable.
The best way to live safely with all of these hidden dangers is to wear sun protection as part of your daily routine – just like brushing your teeth. Find a moisturizer with SPF that you like and use it all year round on your face, so at least you know you’re achieving some level of sun protection daily.
Even when you’re wearing a full face of makeup, use an SPF-setting spray or refresher spray for added protection during the day. And make sure to cover up with sun-protective clothing when you’re outside for long periods of time.
If you have an autoimmune disease (like lupus) or a connective tissue disease, you have to be extra careful in the sun, as those conditions will flare with unprotected exposure.
Most important, see a dermatologist at least once each year to make sure your skin is cancer-free and healthy.

These days, all that remains of what was the Dover Patent Oil Mills, Limekiln Street, are caves in the cliffs below Western Heights. At one time, the Oil Mills were Dover’s main non-maritime industry. Limekiln Street, where they were situated, got its name from the chalk hewn from the cliffs that was burnt to make quicklime. It was the lime-makers who originally created the caves that, by the time this story starts, were used for smuggling.
During the Napoleonic Wars (1793 to 1815), Dover was a major victualling station for the army and navy so Peter Becker set up a steam corn mill in front of the caves. It was operated by only the second steam engine to be used in Dover and therefore a wonder of technology. The engine was powered by a specially built aquifer, the water being provided by the West Dover Waterworks, owned by Joseph Walker who was related to James Walker – the managing partner of Messrs Walker’s Dolphin Lane brewery. It was James Walker who, in 1808, had installed the first steam engine in Dover in his brewery.
However, the enterprise was not a success and Becker defaulted on his mortgage. In June 1812, the mill was put up for auction at the Royal Oak Inn, Dover, by solicitors, Shipdem and Gravener. The mill was described as having spacious storehouses, caves and other suitable appendages as well as being close to the harbour. This, according to the advert, ‘affords great facility of shipping and unshipping goods at a very trifling expense of carriage.’ The mill had three pair of stones and wheat machinery. The solicitors, Shipdem and Gravener, had their office in Snargate Street and John Shipdem was Dover’s Town Clerk and Dover Harbour Board Register. He lived in the Round House, the site of the once iconic Dover Stage coach-hotel. The mill was bought by the Fector Bank and rented to the Pilcher corn milling family.
Following the Battle of Waterloo, which brought the Napoleonic Wars to an end, Dover’s corn milling industry went into sharp decline. Nonetheless, in 1816, the mill was bought by Joseph Walker, who converted it into the extraction of oil from seeds to make lighting fuel and oilcake for horses and cattle. At the time there was already several oil mills along the River Dour. The main seed used for oil refining was imported cottonseed from the Americas.
Robert Walker succeeded Joseph and the business proved profitable and he expanded the works westwards along Limekiln Street to Finnis Hill. As a man of means Robert had social standing and on 15 June 1837, at Eastry, his daughter, Elizabeth Mozier Walker (b1806), married solicitor and wealthy widow, Edward Knocker. He was the son of William Knocker who had been Dover’s Mayor four times between 1797 and 1832.
makers caves behind were also utilised. Although the mills were hit by the economic depression of the 1840s, Robert managed to keep his head above water and was employing a manager to run them on a day to day basis. In November 1847, he was elected Town Clerk but this was merely a stopgap measure for solicitor Thomas Baker Bass quickly succeeded him. law Edward Knocker later succeeded Bass, but by then, Elizabeth had died.
Because of the nature of the seeds that were processed, the season usually began in mid August and in 1853 large shipment arrived. Just before midnight on Sunday 14 August that year, the fires were lit for the large volume of work that was to begin the following day – Monday. Probably the result of spontaneous combustion there was a catastrophic fire and according to contemporary reports, everyone in the town came out to fight it. A later insurance account gives us an idea of the size and contents of the mills.
The manager was engineer James Robson and his house was within the oil mill yard. By this time the mills were four storeys high plus caves within the cliffs. They included a refinery, furnaces, boilers, tanks, vaults, smithies, kilns, offices, stables, smith’s shop, coal and coking caves, a weigh bridge and a tall chimney said to emerge ‘from a slope in the cliff and reaching nearly to its summit’ of the Western Heights.
In the engine room, situated in a vault, 80 feet (24.4 metres) inside one of the caves, was a pair of 25 horsepower engines and a second pair of a similar power. They were connected by a shaft and were used for grinding the seed. The pumps were connected to the West Dover Waterworks, which was capable of supplying 1,000 gallons of water per minute. There was also hydraulic presses weighing 50-tons each and capable of 1,600-tons pressure – quite significant at that time.
The damage was estimated at £50,000 for the oil mills and a further £25,000 for damage or destruction to properties nearby. All the employees lost their jobs together with those either who worked for the other businesses destroyed by the fire or whose line of work directly depended on the oil mills, workers other businesses. None received compensation and for the workers there was little chance of alternative employment. The catastrophe hit Dover’s economy hard but from the insurance Robert managed to rebuild the oil mills. These were of a much larger scale and included fire prevention facilities that were the first in Dover.
Meanwhile, an Act of 1853 had led to formation of the East Kent Railway, (EKR) and on 22 July 1861 the company, having successfully changed their name to the London Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR), opened the line from London to Dover Priory. They were also excavating the 684-yard (626-metre) tunnel from the Priory Station to the harbour where they had built the Harbour Station. The proposed Line cut through the land and caves owned by Robert for which he accepted compensation. He then sold the land east of the track to the Railway Company and on this site they eventually built their Bonded warehouse.
Oil Mills after the building of the railway line.
The size of the oil mills was reduced with the output of seed cakes about 45-tons every 24-hours. The business was put on the market and purchased by William Blewitt from Rainham, Essex. Not long after the mills came into the hands of the large Oil Seed Crushing Company, the chairman of which was R Hesketh Jones.

Ask parents about the benefits of a children’s summer camp program and you can pretty much guarantee that those who have either attended camp themselves or whose children return to the same camp each year will wax poetic about the experience. Those of us whose knowledge of camp stems only from sentimental movies may question the value of bunking together in cabins or jumping into murky lakes on frigid mornings. But even skeptics find it difficult to ignore the allure of providing children with the kind of independence that has become increasingly rare in a world of helicopter parenting.
And it certainly doesn’t hurt that research is on the side of camps. In an article for Psychology Today, Michael Ungar, Ph.D., co-director of The Resilience Research Centre, spoke to 300 camp directors and concluded that camp can help make children more resilient and strengthen their coping strategies. Another study performed at Clemson University found camp experiences push children’s boundaries in a positive way, build self-confidence, and have a lasting and measurable impact on children, thanks to skill-building and decision-making exercises.
Clearly, more and more adults are hip to the benefits of sleepaway and day camps. But what do kids really think about their camp experiences?
At the end of the day, most parents who send their children to camp want to be sure they are investing in their futures—because learning, fostering social connections, and growing as individuals shouldn’t be put on hold simply because the academic year has wrapped up. The proof that camps are helping to expand our kids’ minds and horizons is evident in the lasting memories and lessons children take from camp and carry with them into adulthood.
We spoke with kids and teens who say camp isn’t just a place—it’s a second home and an experience that doles out important life lessons they continue to use long after their camp’s closing ceremonies. In their own words, here’s what they had to say about why they feel camp is beneficial.

Upon heading back from London to Ibiza in preparation for the Kriya Yoga and chakra energy teachers training, I struck a conversation with a free spirited middle aged lady, who lives alone in a yurt that she built within a pine forest in Ibiza. She told me about a life breakthrough that motivated her to reach out to those people whose relationships had ended badly. He called many of them only to realize that she had been blocked by many of them.
When I asked how that made her feel, she said “well that’s a clear sign they don't want me in their life”. Her response made me wonder if blocking someone was an appropriate yogic behavior, so I told her I was going to write an article about this topic and send her a copy.
First let’s define the term. According to the oxford dictionary, to block is “to put an obstacle in the way of (something proposed or attempted)”. Therefore, when you block someone, it is a clear signal that you’re ‘pissed off’ in a non delicate way. Is it violent? In a yogic perspective and from a higher conscious aspect, yes, I think so. And it says more about the person enacting it than the person receiving the block.
Often it suggests issues that the blocking party chooses not to deal with or spend energy on. This is an unhealthy tool in a society that is already fragmented with distance and workload of life, such that the one portal which could harmonize friction actually enhances the rift and stores pent-up frustrations, anger and bitterness until they are ready to unblock.
Seek out the parts of you that are feeling rejection and often these will be in the heart chakra, solar plexus. There could be thoughts such as “I am not worthy”, “I am not loveable” or “I am not good enough”; so take self responsibility and claim back self worth through the asana practice by opening the heart chakra and breathing to break free the locked in emotion caused by the block. Allow yourself to vent this through emotionally releasing Ujjayi breath.
Offer forgiveness to yourself and do not blame yourself as this is exactly what the other party wishes to achieve.
Then offer forgiveness to the other party for having to resort to such drastic measure and take self responsibility here for you actions that lead to this.
Lastly and possibly the toughest, be grateful that this happened so you could go deep to your self healing process as without this ‘blocking’ event you would have still had your blind spots unidentified.
Let them be and offer your goodwill at a distance and let them know the door is open should they be ready to engage again from a place of maturity and be ready to accept that may never happen.
This is a great lesson to be non-emotional. There is a delicate balance in open-heart people and their emotions. Thus, remain open yet non-emotional.
Lastly, don’t take it personal.
For the blocking party, clearly this is an indication they are not ready to navel-gaze, so, until they are, there isn’t much to do. Because above all else, yoga recommends non-attachment and the very act of blocking actually does the reverse. It locks in this passive violent way of ending relationships. So both parties are left in isolation to lick their wounds and move on.
For that reason, I would recommend a “timeout” app. Moving on in isolation is advised where harmony can still be maintained. We say “timeout” app but the very act of a block is indicative of conflict and offers no resolution. The “timeout” app says I need a break for now and let’s pick this when I am ready. It’s more compassionate, harmonious and yogic.
In the Patanjali Sutras, its says the aim of yoga is to still the mind, so the blocking happening to you is a great lesson to be unaffected as it’s the blocker who has the issue of not dealing with the matter, and it will continue to surface in their lives until it is. As a yogi you have understood that this is all about you and not them and to learn self responsibility and self heal those parts which led the party to cause a block.
The yogic way would be with a “timeout”. A block is too harsh and violent and in a world already hostile, it does nothing to make peace and love in relating, the block expands fear and conflict.

Swamp coolers are very popular right now because of their unique ability to cool large areas effectively without using the traditional refrigeration techniques that other devices like this one uses. One of the reasons that swamp coolers are so unique is because they are able to cool almost any given space with evaporation, so the area which the cooler is placed in starts to raise in temperature immediately. They are certainly known for being one of the more efficient and useful devices for cooling almost any given area within a very short period of time. Another thing that so many people love about these types of coolers is that they are both energy-efficient and good for the environment as well, so you will be able to rest easy knowing that you are going the “green” route as far as cooling is concerned.

If you have an area which you need cooled, it is important to take a look at all of your options, including these. You will find that these are a very good way to reduce the overall temperature of a large or small areas, depending on what your own individual needs are. Another one of the best things about these coolers is that they tend to be very durable and last a long time, so you will be able to constantly run them during the summer months and they will hold up just find. There won’t be any need to get a replacement because they will last for years after you get them. They can perform under a wide range of high temperatures, so no matter where you are or how hot it is you can trust a swamp cooler to provide you with exactly what you need. When it starts to get into the months of June and July it will be important to find quick and effective relief from the heat, which is exactly why you should consider getting one of these.
You will find that most swamp coolers are extremely easy to operate so you will not have any problems there. It is important however to make sure that the one you get will be able to meet your own needs in terms of the various options and settings which it offers. There are of course different models to choose from and you will want to make sure that you pick the right one for your own needs. Because these coolers use evaporative technology, they are able to deliver a blast of cool air on even the worst hottest days of the year. There are a lot of coolers like these to choose from, the so the absolute best thing you will be able to do is look at what all of your choices are before making a decision as to which one you want to buy.

NEW STANTON, Pa. (AP) — A 14-year-old boy is accused of shooting his mother and 8-year-old brother once each in the forehead as they slept and calling 911 to insinuate his father did it, Pennsylvania state police said Thursday.
Jacob Remaley called 911 just before 7 a.m. Wednesday, saying his mom and younger brother were dead and his father placed a gun in his bed before leaving the house, State Police Trooper Stephen Limani said at a news conference.
Jacob later told officers he took a gun from atop the refrigerator, loaded it and then shot Dana Remaley and Caleb Remaley after his father, David, went to work, police said. Remaley also allegedly told police he would have shot his father, too, had he been at the home, about 25 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
An ambulance was first to arrive on the scene Wednesday. Workers gave the teen a blanket and started to question him when he went back inside the home to get the firearm, Limani said. Since the workers aren’t trained to deal with someone with a gun, they retreated from the home until troopers responded.
During the time before troopers arrived, Jacob Remaley apparently retrieved the gun and was walking down the street carrying it when he encountered neighbor, police said. That neighbor engaged the boy in conversation, leading him to discard the gun and approach officers, Limani said.
The only indication of a motive is that the teen and his parents weren’t getting along lately, Limani said. However, his relationship with his little brother was seemingly good, especially considering their age difference, he said.
A friend of the family described Jacob Remaley as a polite, kind, straight-A student who was involved in sports and in church.
Anita Stoner told WTAE-TV her son is a good friend of the boy’s, and she was friends with Dana Remaley.
She said Dana Remaley was generous and always willing to lend a hand.
Jacob Remaley was still being medically treated Thursday, and mental health evaluations were pending, Limani said. He is awaiting arraignment on two counts each of criminal homicide and first-degree murder, charged as an adult. No attorney information is available.

Pollution causes harm to environment and animals.
There are many myths surrounding climate change and the importance of living green. This ignorance leads to many people neglecting to play their part in taking care of the environment.
said that people neglect the environment in different ways.
Poor waste disposal and the creation of vast amounts of waste materials which take many years to break down, such as plastic.
The act of not taking care of our environment leads to climate change, Suliman said.
“The high levels of pollutants, especially carbon, in our atmosphere due largely to industrial activity have resulted in one of the greatest challenges our generation faces. Climate change affects global weather patterns and results in extremes of temperature, especially extreme hot temperatures in places that previously did not experience such high temperatures,” she said.
Suliman added that due to these changes, plant, animal and human life suffers, our agricultural systems are negatively affected, city planning and human settlements are affected and ultimately, the knock-on effects affect the economy.
“All of this is, of course, is felt most deeply in poorer communities, where the means to adapt to and resist these changes are not widespread,” she said.
She called on people to utilise the available resources such as buy-back centres in order to reduce, re-use and recycle waste.
Suliman called on leaders in society to help debunk recycling myths and encourage communities to not litter.
How can I Reuse, Reduce and Recycle?
Reduce - Buy products that offer packaging made from recycled materials.
Reuse - Store food in reusable containers, rather than non-recyclable cling-wrap or tin foil made from resource-intensive aluminium.
Recycle - Choose packaging and products that are recyclable – look for the recycle symbol. You can also use your vegetable waste to make compost.

What's a typical day for you? Monday-Friday, I get up, walk my puppies, get dressed for work and head to my office. I am the marketing/event coordinator for 3 local magazines, so normally I am at my office 9-5, but occasionally I am out and about at meetings or different events we put on. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I leave the office at 2:30 for OT/PT. After work, I head home, walk the puppies and decide what to cook/order for dinner and we just rest and watch TV. Saturdays and Sundays are always different, I try to stay as active as possible and most of my weekends are filled with going to see live music.
How long have you known you are living with FA? (When and how were you diagnosed?) I went for my first neurologist visit last August (2014) my mom was concerned because I kept having pretty serious falls. We had no idea it could be something so serious, I honestly thought he would tell me that some people are just clumsy and to work on my core strength, after a few tests (walking, reflexes, etc.), he ordered MRI’s and other tests, when they were all negative, he referred me to a specialist at the Movement Disorder Center at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston who told me I had all the symptoms of a genetic ataxia except that no one in my family had it so he was thinking it was probably one of the SCA’s. We had the genetic testing done and it came back in June that I do in fact have FA. Mom and Dad were both carriers and it has continued to be recessive on both sides of the family until me!
Are there any others with FA in your family? Not a one.
Describe your transition from walking to walker/wheelchair. I wobble when I walk, but I don’t need any assistance devices full time yet. I did get a cane to use when I go out at night and I will be standing for long periods of time or walking somewhere that is crowded to help me balance.
What do you like to do to stay active and what type of exercises work for you to stay strong? I didn’t do much before I started going to the doctor because most physical activity was very difficult if not impossible and I didn’t want to hurt myself. Now I am in physical therapy twice a week, and we mainly focus on gait and strength training so I do a lot of stability exercises. My therapist has given me the go ahead to start going to the gym, but just be aware of my limitations and always have someone with me.
Do you have any hobbies or special interests? I go to concerts all the time, from national acts to local music. In the past few months I’ve seen Garth Brooks, Gary Allen Coe, 12 Stones, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Framing Hanley, Yellowcard, J Cole, Aaron Lewis, Talib Kweli, Nothing More, Waka Flaka Flame, 10 years, Cole Swindell, Joe Nichols, Wale.
What is a good trick to make daily life easier? Daily affirmations. I have positive/funny quotes everywhere. I find them on Facebook or Pinterest and print them out. They really do start to creep into your subconscious.
When FA gets you down, what do you think/do to feel better? Before I found out I had FA, I would get down on myself that I did something to cause this. Since finding out I have FA, I remind myself that I have had this since the moment I was conceived. This has always been God’s plan for my life and it didn’t “set in” until I was strong enough to help other people. There are still times when I get upset-I have cried over the fact that I can’t wear high heels any more (it’s one of those things that lessens my femininity) but one day it occurred to me that when I’m in a wheelchair, I can wear 6in heels all I want, without fear of falling over!
What is one way living with FA has POSITIVELY affected your life? It has definitely made me to remember to live in the moment more. There are things I’ve always wanted to do, like hiking, that I must do sooner rather than later. I’ve created a “handicapped bucket list” of things I want to do before I am limited by a wheelchair.
What is a favorite motivational quote of yours? When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a unicorn. A badass unicorn.
What is piece of advice that someone with FA has given you that encourages and inspires you? It’s not really advice, but seeing other people with FA who are already in a wheelchair but are living such a normal life, really gives me hope and encourages me to not be ashamed of what my future holds.
What is the best advice YOU could give to a person who has been newly diagnosed with FA? Don’t give up! Having FA makes us special! Keep laughing.
What is the first thing you want to do when a cure/treatment to FA is found? Play sports, any sport, just to be able to coordinate movements to hit/catch/throw/kick a ball around and be able to run!
"I have FA but FA doesn't have me." What does this statement mean to you? How do you live your life in the face of adversity? I will not be told I cannot do something because of my disability, I might find out on my own that my body doesn’t cooperative with everything, but I will at least try before I let someone tell me I can’t.
Tell us a little more about you…..I grew up in Louisiana, moved to Nashville to go to school for music business. I bartended at Coyote Ugly while I lived there (yes, like the movie, danced on the bar and everything) then moved back home and finished school at LSU. I continued bartending until I started at the magazines, planning events. I realized I just liked making other people have a good time. Music is still my favorite thing, concerts have always been my favorite thing to do. I went to six NSYNC concerts between 7th-10th grade. When I was 18, I jumped a few fences and snuck backstage to meet Maroon 5.
With your obvious love of music, have you thought about creating a benefit concert for FARA? I am already working on a benefit concert...I turn 30 in November and am planning on doing a big 30th birthday party/benefit concert. I have the fundraiser forms from the FARA website already, and I'm just in the idea phase right now. This one definitely won't be anything big, just local bands, most likely. Being an event planner, once I got my diagnosis, all kinds of fund raising event ideas started coming to me! I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and I know that part of why I wasn't diagnosed until now is so that I have the event experience I do. I feel like my purpose is to plan parties, events, fundraisers, etc to raise awareness and money for research.
We have no doubt your 30th birthday beneit concert for FARA will be absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to read the awesome blog post about it in a few months!! ;) Thank you, Christie!

Although we have come a long way from the wallpaper covered books that I used to make in elementary (my teacher's husband worked for a store that sold wallpaper), picture books that elementary students write and publish themselves are still as meaningful and memorable as ever. Mrs. Kloberdanz & her fourth grade students just finished their first published books using the website Storybird!
Storybird is a free website that allows students to choose artwork that sparks their writing and creativity. Students can search for images in a particular topic of their choice or based on an artist that they like. From there, they may choose to write a poem, picture book, or longer text.
Mrs. K's students chose various topics to write about, explored the pictures, and took several days to get their thoughts written into the creative stories they became. From there, students worked with an adult to revise & edit their stories. Lastly, we published them and Mrs. K had a copy printed for each child to take home with them. The parents were wowed and the students were ale to share their stories with their classmates and answer questions about the process. There is a small fee to download the books, or you can have them printed and bound.
If you are interested in learning more about Storybird, please feel free to look through the Google Slides I put together for Mrs. K's class or ask either myself or Mrs. K! Below are the cover pages for each book and one of their awesome pages of writing!

Wait, are we the DUFFs?
It feels like all we've been talking about this week is The Duff, and there's a good reason: The film—which stars Bella Thorne, Mae Whitman, and Robbie Amell—is officially in theaters, and it's probably going to be the best teen flick you've seen in a while. If you like to laugh, that is.
Teen Vogue editors got to see the film a little early, and the general response? The ticket is worth every cent. From Robbie's Ken doll-esque physique to Bella's mean-girl attitude and Mae's hilarious quips, here's what had our eyes glued to the screen the entire time.
Are Bianca's denim overalls and chunky sandals supposed to be an obvious DUFF uniform? Because I would totally wear that outfit. Wait…does that make me a DUFF??
Bianca spent an entire party awkwardly eating orange slices at the food table. Yup, I'm definitely a DUFF.
Why are the childhood best friends always super attractive in movies? Where was my insanely handsome next door neighbor growing up? I feel cheated.
My new confidence MO courtesy of Bianca Piper: When someone says "You look crazy," respond "Yeah, crazy amazing." Nailed it.
Can I have my own personal set of triumphant firework effects whenever something amazing happens in my life, too?
There's the 6-pack, the 8-pack, and then there's Robbie Amell.
How did these actors possibly make it through their scenes without breaking?
Can we have a Regina George and Bella Thorne mean-girl showdown?
To-do list: Find a way to become best friends with Mae Whitman. This girl is hilarious.
Mae Whitman is a younger—and maybe even funnier—version of Kristen Wiig...and officially my new girl crush.
There's no way Bianca braided her hair for her date with Toby herself. Whoever her stylist is, call me!
There's nothing more rewarding than seeing Mae Whitman (in overalls and flannel!) on the big screen. She's the type of leading lady every rom-com needs.
