The pink fluted cosy from the 1935 pattern published by Madame Weigel in Melbourne.
You'll need a pair of 4mm needles, 100g of the main colour in 8 ply yarn, and 50g of the contrast colour. I've used a variegated yarn as the contrast colour, and that's produced the striped effect.
The finished cosy measures 26 cm wide and 18 cm high; this fits a medium sized pot, around 4 cup capacity.
You could gather up the middle flutes with a ribbon, or use an I-cord as I did. In the original, 7 flutes are gathered. I've gathered 9. Do whatever fits your pot the best.
The rose and leaves are the same ones you'll find under the 'Crochet tea cosy' tab.
Using the main colour, cast on 130 stitches, and knit one row.
Next row, knit 10 stitches; join in the contrast colour, knit 10. Using the main colour, and compressing the stitches already knitted, knit 10. Let that thread hand loose at the back, and, compressing the knitted stitches, knit 10 in the contrast colour. Continue alternating all along the row, finishing with 10 main colour.
Next row, knit 10 main colour, bring the yarn forward (to the wrong side of the work); pick up the contrast yarn (which will be facing you); bring it to the back, and knit 10; yarn forward. Pick up the main colour, yarn back and knit 10. Repeat this action to the end of the row.
These two rows are repeated until the work measures 36 cm, or a few cm more, depending on the size of the pot.
The original pattern says 12 inches; but this is way too short.
Fold over and sew the sides together for about 4cm. Locate the middle row of the work, and gather together 7 flutes along this line.
A ribbon or an I-cord can be threaded through the knitting to hold them together with a bow; you'll need a length of about 60 cm.
This beautiful tea cosy is from a vintage pattern, and is an entry into the tea cosy competition. It's so colourful! I have a copy of the pattern somewhere and will put it on here soon.
Yellow cosy from the 1930's, Madame Weigel's Cushions and Cosies book.
I remember my Grandmother having one of these tea cosies back in the 1950's. It was in green and a mustard yellow. This is an adaption of the original pattern...the yarns were different then, but the original pattern mostly works. For the flowers on top, I've wound the yarn around my fingers as it says in the original...however I recently saw a great idea...wind the yarn around the prongs of a fork to give a more compact and neat flower.
You'll need 8ply yarn for the lining and top. The pattern on the outside is knitted with 2 strands of 4 ply yarn, about 25 g of each 4 ply, 50g 8 ply.
The one in the photo was knitted with 2 strands of the same colour; using 2 different colours gives a nice effect, too.
K=knit, P=purl, WRN=wool around needle, M1=make a stitch by knitting the yarn between 2 stitches.
Using a pair of 4mm needles, and 2 strands of 4 ply yarn, cast on 46 stitches.
Row 2. Knit 2 together all along the row.
Row 3.( K1, WRN, M1, WRN), repeat to the end of the row; finish the row with WRN, M1.
Repeat these 4 rows 9 more times.
Break off the yarn, and leave the stitches on the needle.
With the right side facing you, pick up and knit across the cast on stitches, using the 8 ply lining yarn. (46 stitches).
Knit in garter stitch (all rows in K stitch), until it measures the same as the patterned piece, ending with the needles on both ends of the work, pointing in the same direction.
Fold the work with the right side of the patterned piece facing you. Hold the 2 needles with the stitches together, and with the 3rd needle and the 8 ply yarn, knit 2 stitches at once (one from each needle). 46 stitches.
Row 2, and every second row, P2 tog, P to last 2 sts, P2 tog.
Make the other side of the cosy the same as above.
Slip stitch together the sides of the lining to the patterned pieces.
Sew the sides and tops together, leaving enough of an opening to fit the handle and spout comfortably.
Wind one strand of 4 ply firmly around 2 fingers of the non-dominant hand...about 28 times.Slip the loops off carefully, and use the ends of the yarn to tie securely in the middle. Alternatively, wind the yarn around the prongs of a fork; tie securely in the middle, then slip off the for.
Sew the flowers onto the top of the cosy; work 3 or 4 French knots in the centre of each flower in a contrasting yarn. Work as many flowers as needed to cover the top.
Work double crochet around a ring of 3-4cm diameter. Sew to the top.
Vintage and blokey...as not all tea drinkers are women..
The pattern was published in 1935, one of Madame Weigel's popular designs. She had it illustrated with a pretty satin bow, quite feminine. But I had some blue and grey variegated yarn, not very feminine at all. So the satin ribbon has been replaced with a moss stitch scarf! I've had to modify the instructions quite a bit, as the pattern didn't work out in the original version.
You’ll need 100g of 8 ply yarn for the outer patterned layer, and 100g of 8 ply yarn for the lining; which is featured as a contrast as it folds over at the top.
This cosy could be knitted in many decorative stitches; it could be a scarf that was never finished, adapted to become a tea cosy.
Tension, measured over lightly pressed fabric, using 4mm needles.
Basket stitch: 22 stitches and 32 rows measure 10cm x 10cm.
Using 8 ply yarn, cast on 63 stitches.
Row 2 *Purl 3, knit 7* Repeat to the end of the row.
Row 3 *Knit 3, purl 7* Repeat to the end of the row.
Row 6 Knit 5, *Purl 3, knit 7*. Repeat to the last 5 sts; k 5.
Row 7 Purl 5, *Knit 3, purl 7*. Repeat to the last 5 sts; p 5.
Row 8 As row 6.
These eight rows form the pattern. Continue knitting till the work measures approximately 40 cm.
Break off yarn, and join in the lining yarn.
As you knit the first row of the lining, decrease 12 stitches evenly across the row.
This is because the garter stitch produces a wider fabric than the basket stitch.
Knit the 51 remaining stitches (garter stitch) until it’s the same length as the basket stitch section; cast off a little loosely.
Remember that you now have 12 fewer stitches, and the cast-on and cast-off rows will be sewn together.
Fold the work in half lengthways, and sew together the cast on and cast off edges. Slip stitch the lining to the patterned side along the other 2 edges. Fold in half again, and sew the sides together for about 2 cm on each side. Fold the tops back to show the lining, and secure with a few stitches.
You can then either buy about a metre of pretty ribbon and tie a bow, or knit a little scarf using 9 stitches, knit 1, purl 1, across every row. Add a little fringe to the ends to finish it off.
Send your entries to the Tea Cosy Competition, PO Box 109, East Ringwood, Vic 3135, before 26th June, 2015. All entries will be on display and for sale at Warratina Lavender Farm, 105 Quayle Rd, Wandin Yallock from 4th to 19th July, 2015.

A graduate of Cal Poly, North was living in the Bay Area and working for Apple’s China division when she opted to move back to San Luis Obispo.
In pondering what she was going to do here, she realized that she “wanted to do something that was part of the community rather than just sitting in an office.” That something ended up being Luis Wine Bar.
In terms of wines, North focuses on “local” — an area which she considers to range from Monterey County through Santa Barbara — and she typically has about 50 to 60 available at any one time.
She also offers monthly white and red flights of three wines each, all of which focus on something such as a particular varietal or region. For example, this January, it’s a stylistic showcase of the Alsace region with two French wines and four locals.
For beers, Luis has four rotating taps, 80-plus bottled beers in an array of styles, a couple of ciders and a gluten-free beer. The majority of the bottles are domestic microbrews, but you can also choose from a select list of Belgian and Belgian-style imports.
Foodwise, Luis offers several “light bites,” but North noted that she also welcomes outside food. Usually that’s from neighboring restaurants, and often from the vendors at the Thursday Farmers Market.
The Luis menu itself features some of the things you’d expect at a wine bar. You can order mixed nuts and olives, cheese and meats plates, and an artichoke, rosemary, cannelini bean dip served with market fresh veggies and/or crostini.
Other treats include a cream cheese square with chopped dried cherries and local honey, a gooey jalapeño cream cheese dip, and — because “bacon makes everything better!” — bacon s’mores served with mini marshmallows that you can toast yourself.

The antics of luminescent deep-sea creatures are being observed for the first time without the cacophony of lights and noise which usually accompanies such research, report US scientists.
A smart new camera, designed to operate in the dark without being noticed by the creatures it is observing, is being trialed this week in California's Monterey Bay by Dr Edith Widder and colleagues of the Harbour Branch Oceanographic Institution in Florida. The team also plans to use the camera with a lure consisting of an electronic jellyfish which mimics the various bioluminescent light patterns given off by its real counterpart.
"We are hoping to do some honest to goodness unobtrusive observation, which really hasn't happened in the ocean," said Widder. "Ultimately the goal is to see animals or behaviours nobody has ever seen before."
Although the deep sea makes up about 78% of the planet's inhabitable volume, little is known about most of its inhabitants - more than half of which are capable of making their own light, or bioluminescence. This is in part because traditional research methods, such as deep-towed nets, can damage animals making their natural behaviours impossible to observe in the lab. Vehicles can deliver humans deep down, but typically ther lights, motors and electric fields scare animals away or frighten them into unnatural behaviour.
It was for these reasons Widder helped create the new unobtrusive camera system called the "Eye in the Sea". The system operates automatically on the seafloor and is designed to be unnoticed by animals. When the system detects animals nearby giving off bioluminescent light, this triggers a video camera to record the light being produced. A red light - which is out of the animals' normal vision range - is then turned on to take illuminated footage. The system can also be programmed to film surrounding areas at regular intervals, for instance when it is set up with bait to attract animals.
Widder also wants to trial an electronic device designed to mimic the various bioluminescent light patterns given off by the Atolla jellyfish (pictured). The artificial jellyfish lure has a ring of blue LED lights around its outer edge that can be programmed to light up in patterns similar to those created by the real Atolla.
When threatened the jellyfish sometimes respond by creating a moving circular wave of light around their outer edge which is referred to as a "burglar alarm" response. Scientists theorise that jellyfish use this response to attract large animals in to eat jellyfish predators. Widder wants to use the lure, camera and a box of bait to test this and other hypotheses about how and why animals such as jellyfish use their bioluminescent light. She also wants to use the jellyfish lure to attract large predators to the area, which would be captured on film.

How to carve an actual pumpkin by using different knives and other household items is taught by Virtual Pumpkin Carve game. The kid has to choose the tools, design and then carve it over the stencil. After that the kid has to place in a candle and set it a window. The kid can select the design from four different designs.
To carve the pumpkin into the design or face of the kid’s choice, Flash Pumpkin Carving game needs the mouse. Various designs can be created by using virtual carver and once the kid finish the game press the “Done” button given on the right side of the screen to see a fabulously glowing jack-o’-lantern. If the kids don’t like the created design, then click on the “Reset” button and if the kid want to undo an error, then push “Undo” button.
On the left hand side there are wide range of carving styles brushes and candles in Pumpkin Carver. The pumpkin can be painted by kid in the variety of colors. When carving is completed click on the red button given on the left side. The kid must give the pumpkin a name.
Using different types of knives the kid can carve the pumpkin and can also share it with friends at carve your pumpkin online game. By holding the knife with the mouse, carve the design on the pumpkin. The background can also be selected. The kid can write a special Halloween message and can email the carved pumpkin to friends. Two choices are given in this game such as straight cuts and free hand cuts. If the kid selects free hand cuts then he has to hold the knife and carve free-hand designs. In straight cuts the kid can cut precise straight lines on the pumpkin. After finishing the carving press the candle button to put a virtual candle and make the pumpkin glow.
The kid has to select a pumpkin at Pick a pumpkin to carve game. This game requires the mouse and by using the virtual carver various designs can be created.

When I was a kid, I had a dream that I’d have a Bachelors by 20, Masters by 30 and Doctorate by 40. Given life’s development with our household having a six, four and two year old, the doctorate by 40 is just not going to happen.
Unless, there is another way.
Peter Rawsthorne got me thinking in a recent Twitter post.
Then I found Lisa Chamberlin and found I wasn’t alone in this type of thinking. Two months ago, September 2009, she essentially blogged the same thing I’m blogging about here.
If anyone is reading this, got any ideas on advisors or institutions that might take me up on this idea?
I will be joining you on this PhD journey, I already consider myself started with all the tagging I do, the online book I’ve started on the “internet is the platform”, and the open source project dedicated to open access assessment. Mass collaboration for assessment. Maybe you could work on the open access accreditation. I know I should get the links and I’ll post them again when i have more time. I was discussing this idea during the summer with a friend and he mentioned we could most likely get our advisor from a Finnish University (given their higher ed is free and they are open toi this kind of approach… Stay in touch, keep blogging… Who will be the planets first open PhD???
This is naive of course, but pleasantly so.
We’d all like to do it this way, but that’s not the institutional model.
Should you succeed…you’ll have ripped several million bricks out of the Wall.
You’ll still have to find a thesis supervisor who knows as much or more than you abut social learning in a high-performance work environment such as (say) Roger Schank .. few and far between.
Hey…glad to read your thoughts. You are not alone my friend, i too would like to jump in…I myself, have been obsessed with this idea for quiet a long time ! Let’s keep each other going..
If you guys keep this up, I’ll be out of business! (I teach at SFU).
Seriously, though, I’ve spoken with Peter R about this topic, too, and while it might be attractive in the abstract, I think it might founder in reality.
– will you keep going without the reward at the end (degree, letters, etc)?
– who will mentor you, and what will their motivation be (not at first, but over the long run)? How will you keep them on board?
– while a great deal of a phd is self-directed and/or research based, there remains the course work. How could this be replaced?
– how would you represent this work to an employer? Especially one that “hires PhDs”? There would be all kinds of implications of them hiring you, I suspect.
I would encourage anyone to engage in continuous professional development, self-directed or otherwise, but I think that a PhD (at least the ones we give out) is more than that. Or at least different from that.
Is it perhaps the case that you’re looking for a “phd” and not “a Ph.D.” (i.e., “Doctor of Philosophy from a University accredited to give these out)? Are you looking for some concentrated study, some continuous reflection, some engagement with research and dialogue? All of those things come with a PhD program, to be sure, but they happen elsewhere, too. And if you can – through discussions like these – link up with like-minded people who have similar ambitions you will definitely enjoy yourself, improve your professional practice, and contribute to a better world, one would hope. And if you later on decide that an actual diploma is what you really need, well you can always go for that, too.
Dan, as I told Lisa, riffing off another post, there’s lots to be gained from a strong advisor, but there’s some good guidance available out there (there used to be a doc called “how to get a PhD in AI” that’s been generified I believe and if found had great tips about traps about under- or over-studying. Happy to provide light guidance, having been an academic in a previous life. Good luck!
With the number of like-minded people posting to your blog and mine, I think we have enough to form a “cohort” or at least the social media version of one. I tweet things I find under the #openphd hashtag. Feel free to join in and send others who think things can be done a different way there as well. With enough of us pursuing similar objectives, the crowdsourcing of resources alone becomes a useful exercise.
Vive la revolución! (That’s the extent of my French, btw).
I very much love and admire your enthusiasm for learning! I am all for going against the grain and trying to preserve the elements of your life that are important to you, but what is the end goal for your pursuit of a Ph.D.? If it’s continuing education, that’s great and it begs the question – why do you need the “ticket” or paper on the wall? Do you want to teach at a university or college? Do you want to be recognized as an expert in your field?
There are two models of education at the doctoral level. The “American” model is loading up with courses. The “UK” model is few if almost no courses (with the expectation that you would be conducting research studies and writing papers). In the UK model, courses would be taken as needed (if you are doing advanced statistics and don’t have the knowledge, you’d take an advanced statistics course – and, trust me, it’s hard to learn that type of thing on your own). I am an advocate of the UK model. I think post-secondary education should be like a pyramid with the Bachelors at the bottom (wide base of courses), then the Master’s in the middle (with few courses, but more targeted in a specialty area), and ending with the Ph.D. at the top with very few courses but the focus is very very specific. It’s very much a research degree and it represents a lot of work reviewing literature, conducting studies, collecting data with appropriate ethics approval, analysing the data, and writing up your findings – and all to a high level of quality.
Where are you going to get your funding to do your research? Faculty members often fund the research of their doctoral students. With no funding, it becomes hard to do more ambitious projects. It is a full-time job for 3 years (part-time for 6 years). I’m not sure how you can replace that with social media activities on the side of your work/family. There is also more than one advisor – you have one supervisor and typically a committee of 6 by the end – all providing advice on what’s right and what’s wrong with what you’re doing. Each being specialists representing different aspects of your work.
If you wanted to do your Ph.D. part-time, then my advice to you is to hunt down a program that is more aligned with the UK model, so you can do fewer courses and use the rest of your time in a more self-directed way. The remaining obstacle then is the residency requirement. I have to say that I did part of my degree on campus and part away (after residency was complete). The latter was not very positive or rich in comparison. You do miss out on a lot (a lot of research, work, and teaching opportunities that will enrich you as well – access to expensive equipment, resources, and software – these are typical experiences during your program).
Again, it all depends on your goals. If it’s just an exercise to support lifelong learning, then that’s wonderful. I love the ideology, don’t get me wrong, but I doubt the system will be changing for decades.
I think one question to consider is… if you are a supervisor and you have on-campus students paying tuition and working for you and/or folks in the dept and out there somewhere is an “open phd” student who is doing neither, who are you going to spend time mentoring? It takes time to mentor – lots of time. Ask my students how much we spend together. You might find someone to support you in an experience and to be novel (something they’d write up so they can publish a paper) or because you are endearing in your enthusiasm, but I cannot see this happening on a larger scale. I would advise you to go and get a Ph.D. – if you do decide on that, then there is a whole other blog post on how to choose who/where… and there are definitely potholes to avoid.
Well this has been a wonderful, professional tennis match of ideas. Thanks to you all for the comments, suggestions, advice and opinions.
Officially, as a result of these comments and a month of further personal investigation, I’m back on the fence.
That is, do I pursue the open PhD and hope to sort it out (ie. the credential – which I do covet) down the road … or … do I pack up and withdraw from a professional paycheque and complete the PhD per the norm of society.
Valerie – I am really intrigued with your work (and grant) as it relates to the TIE initiative at the University of Victoria. Would love to learn/hear more.
Your household with a six, four and two year old must be such fun. So what if the PhD takes more time than you anticipated? Don’t miss out on these vital years, they go so fast.
It was very nice to read your post. I am also doing an open masters in Computer Science, so it’s always nice to come across others who are on their open education journey.
Now this discussion has grown with some very valuable comments I’ve given all this some further thought and it became a post over at my blog… enjoy the journey!

The symposium and exhibition investigate the definitions of public space across disciplines, and the tools, tactics, and consequences of reclaiming — or to use a term coined by Muntadas, creating interventions in — public space through art and architecture. Public Art, that is art in public space, is a concept that has been in discussion and revision throughout the evolution of the terms “art” and “city” themselves. Recent movements — including those in Egypt, Madrid, New York, and around the world in Occupy communities — have exposed the distance between “public” and “space” and reflect citizen interests in recovering and re-appropriating the city or town square. The themes of the symposium draw from Muntadas’s career at MIT and his artistic practice, a legacy that directly affects the work and philosophies of many of the invited speakers.
This program was made possible by funding provided by CAST; the MIT School of Architecture and Planning, Office of the Dean (SA+P); MIT Department of Architecture; ACT; the Council for the Arts at MIT (CAMIT); MIT Comparative Media Studies/Writing (CMS); Center for Civic Media; and the Media Lab.
This program is presented in collaboration with the MIT Center for Art, Science and Technology.

In pagan days, when Rolf married Swedish King Erik’s daughter, the king and queen sat throned in state, whilst courtiers passed in front, offering gifts of oxen, cows, swine, sheep, suckling-pigs, geese, and even cats. A shield, sword, and axe were among the bride’s wedding outfit, that she might, if necessary, defend herself against being beaten by her husband.
A wedding was a reason to celebrate, and country folk in Norway treated couples on their wedding day as if they were royalty.
In Norway, the marriages of the bonder or peasantry are conducted with very cheerful ceremonies, and in each parish there is a set of ornaments for the temporary use of the bride, including a showy tiara and a vest with apron set with jewels; so that the poorest woman in the land has the gratification of appearing for one day of her life in a guise which she probably thinks equal to that of a queen. […] In the International Exhibition at London, in 1862, the Norwegian court showed the model of a peasant couple, as dressed and decorated for their wedding; and every beholder must have been impressed by its homely splendors.

We want to extend an especially warm welcome to four people attending for the first time, the naturopathic physicians Drew Collins, NMD (by Skype) and John Oertle, NMD and Donese Worden, NMD as well as Dr. Worden’s fiancé and research partner, Barry Goldstein. We are honored by the presence both of the long-time members as well as those recently joining us.
SCNM is recruiting students for the safety study for the botanical gel that we are approving under this IRB. We have about 20 total subjects of 200 minimum that we need. Any treatment using the gel for other than HSV is suspended until FDA approval. Apparently there was the idea that it might be started to be used for other purposes, which are not yet authorized.
Dr. Worden discussed a research project on music, therapeutic properties of music on brain waves. Dr. Worden reached out to our IRB in order to see if we want to evaluate her study. That particular study is morphing. A “brain wave mapping document” is something that they are looking into. Also, of great interest is pain management and other therapeutics with music. Dr. Waters said that a related study that he was working on has 15 minutes of silence, then 15 minutes of a certain frequency of sound. Then the subject answers questions, before and after music. Then Dr. Waters does a statistical analysis to see if there are differences. It is interesting to look at mood variables and anger variables.
Dr. Worden clarified that she was here, because there are medical devices that she needs an IRB to oversee. City of Hope has put together a clinical study. They are doing a double blind placebo controlled study on intake of systemic enzymes on 70 subjects. They’re looking at intracellular effects, pain management, joint and/or back pain. They are looking at both subjective and objective measures. The primary objective is pain management. That has been submitted to the ASU IRB.
If we do this IRB review, we will be competing with some academically affiliated IRBs. However, some brick wall/bureaucratic hurdles at larger institutions stand in the way of proceeding there. So Dr. Worden’s question to the IRB today is if we would like to be the reviewing IRB for her study.
Dr. Worden asks: Are we planning to be like WIRB? Are we planning to publish under our IRB? There could be other IRB work for us in the future. She would like a response from us. Our IRB would not have to re-write the study documents, simply review, critique, and give final approval.
Dr. Waters said that publications are always good. So we ought to become associated with a larger institution in the near future, and then we could do more of these. Dr. Worden said that this particular IRB review work could enable us to be associated with ASU.
Dr. Worden mentioned to write the Letter of Intent, ASU charges $1000. But she is thinking of $500 to $1200 for a budget in this case. A 3-person committee – a clinician, a technical/statistics person and a layperson, would be a team that could review data for low-risk scenarios.
Dr. Waters asked for clarification. Dr. Worden said that a smaller team could look at anything that goes through a review board. This would be a 3 month trial.
At ASU, Dr. Worden is teaching an integrative medicine course, regarding ancient healing, and stress management tools. For some of the other research that she is working on, nutraceuticals and/or medical devices that are already available are the subject of the study. Dr. Worden is PI certified.
All of the study is at Dr. Worden’s clinic. They’re doing the statistics, the subject interaction, the clinical work, such as blood draws, etc. What we would do is to read the protocol, and vote on it and approve it. This will be a 3-month study, so there is no other work than saying we approve it as an IRB. If we act in the capacity of an IRB and determine that it is a low-risk study, then we’re okay. The statistician is Bob Frankel, and Bob Waters is working with them as well. Labs are done by Spectracell, There are also CBC and CMP labs.
The City of Hope would have charged $300,000 to a million, just for this part.
Regarding the upcoming OncANP conference, Dr. Huber asked what is happening. There had been talk of visiting and representing ANRI / NORI at their upcoming conference. However, it turns out that all vendors have been determined for this year, and possibly next, and that it seems that only vendors have booths there.
Dr. Huber asked if anybody wants us to be represented at AANP, considering it will meet in Phoenix this year. Dr. Tamburri liked the idea and lamented that our last attempt at outreach to that conference a few years ago had the poor timing of coming during the date and time of the memorial to the late Dr. Konrad Kail. Dr. Tamburri suggested that we have a presence again in the future at AANP. He said that maybe we could think of planning something for the next conference.
Dr. Tamburri also mentioned that there is an upcoming textbook on the foundations of naturopathic medicine, which will become a part of core naturopathic curriculum. He asked, will it be practical as a textbook? It will cover a lot of philosophy. Dr. Tamburri is collaborating on and writing the men’s health chapter. The title is Foundations of Naturopathic Medicine.
Dr. Waters asked if other professions, specifically medical doctors and osteopaths of his acquaintance, would be allowed to be a part of this group, and to attend our meetings. Dr. Proefrock and Dr. Huber said yes.
Dr. Hernández Guzmán mentioned her friend Andrei, who is a SCNM student. He discussed with her that if you get 1,000 people to petition for something, then the World Health Organization (WHO) would open a motion, and vote on it. So they had discussed creating an international naturopathic medicine coalition. So then we could get our curriculum compared with that of other countries, and we could work with the health ministers of the different countries. The idea is to put together everybody under one umbrella. So under a master table of very loosely defined “naturopaths” put together a list of the credentials (the credentialed organizations and individuals) that exist. Then ideally, you have a table of say physicians – NMDs or NDs. Then you have others who don’t have such credentials. See if you can get coalitions among various countries, and even among different echelons of those interested.
We can start to interact with people on the research angle, because they are also interested in being acknowledged for their interest in naturopathic medicine. So we are the ones who have the most education, but that doesn’t mean we can’t interact with others around the world who have an interest in naturopathic medicine.
Dr. Huber followed this comment by saying that she will be presenting her study of her clinic’s data on glycemic restriction in cancer patients, in Paris this July, at the 2nd International Congress of Naturopathic Medicine, with the following goal: Because it is an international audience, with a great variety of actual medical training and licensure, and lack thereof, some of whom will be simply interested laypeople, she wants to give them all something they can use. So trying to find a common basis that way, instead of talking about for example intravenous therapies or labs, or other things inaccessible to such an audience, she plans to talk about the kind of foods that benefit or harm the cancer patients who have come to her clinic. That way, everyone at the conference could conceivably take away some information that would be relevant to someone else with whom they would interact in the future, and would be able to point to a study done at a naturopathic clinic in the U.S., in order to plant the seed cognitively in themselves and their acquaintances, that it is possible for naturopaths to actually achieve these kinds of standards: comparable medical education, standardization of the same, credentialing and licensing, professional associations and clinical work, research and publication.
Dr. Huber also mentioned that although people in other countries are qualitatively different from us in that they don’t have our training or licensing, we all started out in a common place: an interest in Vis medicatrix naturae, and a desire to help others from this basis. So we are much further along in our history in North America, but with empathy, we can perhaps help them to start along a similar path. We probably should especially think about this in light of the fact that in 2013 the unprecedented step of a national regulation of naturopathic medicine took place. The country was Portugal. Yet still without a naturopathic medical school that even comes close to the standards of the West means that they will need a lot of mentoring from the North American naturopathic community, in order to make best use of that new national licensing that the Portuguese now have.
Dr. Proefrock brought up the situation with reciprocity between Canada and France. The Canadian government is looking at what are the parameters for recognizing naturopathic medicine internationally. He said that naturopathic medicine is a phenomenon that is uniquely North American, and as such the ability to create a curriculum with broad appreciation and applicability across cultures is tricky. Whether or not Europe is able to come up to the standards of North American naturopathic medicine, or those countries are willing to, there are control issues over how to do this, and how to make it win-win for all involved. The question is ultimately: how do you handle this difference? So and so went to a correspondence school, whereas so and so went to a school where they dissected a cadaver.
Dr. Tamburri said we should be an example for others, both in US or abroad.
Dr. Huber agreed that our best role toward those abroad is as mentors.
Dr. Proefrock said the question is who owns the title “Naturopathic Doctor” or “Naturopathic Medical Doctor”? The reality is that that is our title. We own it. So where are concessions okay to be made? And where is control as to how it progresses? So each of the nations and Canadian provinces has acted as if they were totally sovereign. The Canadian government said we have to have reciprocity across different provinces. Then to what extent does that happen with France? So if someone is a French and Canadian dual citizen, can they expect a level of reciprocity that Canada has developed? There is a lot of difference among different countries. Lithuania allows almost anything. Germany restricts almost everything. However, there is an economic incentive for both the countries and the schools to attract people to bring them up to the standards. Then on top of all these considerations, translating all of those board exams into many different languages would be an amazingly difficult task.
Branding is something that happens in our profession, both domestically and internationally. We should not be snobs, but we must also be aware of who we are, said Dr. Tamburri.
Dr. Tamburri mentioned the Freedom Summit, here in Phoenix soon. Dr. Tamburri met with a politician recently, and he speculated that the main issue of the next presidential election will be health insurance.
Dr. Tamburri continued: Suppose medical doctors who don’t want to participate in the insurance treadmill called themselves something different, such as CMD – “cash medical doctor.” That way they can avoid all the red tape and aggravation of both the new law and the insurance companies. Why don’t naturopaths want to do that?
Dr. Tamburri summarized the non-discrimination clause of Section 2706 of the ACA –that he thought that it doesn’t really prevent discrimination against naturopaths.
Dr. Huber presented a paper on cholesterol, diet and cancer that Dr. Waters and she had collaborated on. (Cholesterol and diet in cancer survivors: a double-blind, retrospective case series of 255 cancer patients in a naturopathic clinic). Dr. Waters had used Artificial Intelligence to analyze the data. Dr. Huber summarized the paper, pointing out the data in the various tables, to which each person was able to refer in their photocopies. Dr. Tamburri motioned that Dr. Huber be recognized as “Naturopathic Oncologist” for having just now completed the last of all the pre-requisites for that designation. Dr. Proefrock seconded the motion. Nobody was opposed, so the motion passed.
Dr. Huber mentioned that Dr. Lopez and she had recently been credentialed by a small local hospital, and that both now had admitting privileges there. Also, she mentioned that she has been able to do anything she wants with the patient who she is following there, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, parenteral nutrition discussion, participation and compromise, Rx prescription, PICC line placement order, IV nutrients, and referral. Dr. Huber said this to the group because her and Dr. Lopez’s goal is to open that door farther, for him to also look to a hospital closer to him and for her to also look for a hospital closer to her, in order to try to extend those privileges to other institutions, and to then try to bring in at least one other naturopath at those places to also be credentialed, and then to also let our patients know by way of form letter that if they know anyone who has the misfortune of needing hospitalization, that they can have at least part of their care be naturopathic on demand, at these particular institutions. To thus stimulate patient demand, and create a competitive advantage for those particular hospitals, should be able to create a win-win situation for both our profession and the institutions involved, as well as the patients wanting naturopathic care.
If any of you are especially interested in pursuing this yourselves, please contact Dr. Lopez or Dr. Huber to strategize.
Dr. Lopez summarized the most recent AZND Board meeting as not quite as judgmental and prosecutorial as the previous board meeting that he had attended. Some of the membership of that Board had changed, and the tone seems to be somewhat more fair, balanced and just. Dr. Huber volunteered to represent ANRI / NORI at the March 2014 AZND Board meeting.
The next ANRI / NORI board meeting is Friday, May 9.
Dr. Stallone presented a case (his fifth case to this Board) of a 52 y.o. male hepatitis C patient, with chronic fatigue. Normal weight, well nourished. HR, respiration, BP all normal. Some icterus. When labs came in, there was a very high ALT and AST, as well as elevated lymphocytes. The ALT was especially high. Dr. Stallone ordered labs for EBV, Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. All of these were also positive co-infections. There was no history of blood transfusions. He had gotten sick 13 years earlier at the time of a root canal. Dr. Stallone gave phosphatidyl choline IV. The patient had a strict diet, no alcohol. The labs showed low protein levels. Dr. Stallone does electrodermal screening. So he tested Sanum remedies, and used some of those. Dr. Stallone described electrodermal screening, such as a Voll machine, which is a sort of mechanical muscle testing. Dr. Stallone used a variety of nutrients, both oral and IV, homeopathic remedies, glycyrrhizic acid, colonics, juicing beets. He counseled the patient to change his diet to a vegetarian + fish diet. With the treatment plan, symptoms originally got worse. After the Rx of Nux vomica, symptoms started to get better. Most labs came back toward normal. Viral titers got back toward normal. Dr. Stallone had originally considered ozone treatment, then postponed that, then went back to looking at ozone. However, in the end, the homeopathic and dietary treatments worked the best for this patient.
Dr. Proefrock commented that this was a nicely comprehensive approach. Dr. Stallone commented that the patient just came in the other day, and is still looking good, feeling good.
Dr. Waters asked about pleomorphic transformations in the body.
In response, Dr. Stallone talked about how the milieu in the body will change the form of the microbe.
Dr. Proefrock referred to Beauchamp’s study of the milieu, and how pathogenic microbes can be more or less pathogenic or even benign depending on the environment.
Dr, Kollin presented a case (her first to this Board) of a 64 y.o. woman, Stage 4 breast cancer – with liver, lung, brain metastases. Labs show high calcium, high liver enzymes. Dr. Kollin is treating her with high dose vitamin C, and with cesium. She is also doing systemic ozone, as well as rectal insufflation of ozone (to try to get to the liver). She is now doing Pleo Sanuvis, Pleo Muc, and a number of other Pleo products. She has not done electrodermal screening. The patient is ER plus, PR plus. She smoked years ago. Dr. Kollin Rx’ed Zofran for nausea. The patient got her br ca dx in 2007. Dr. Kollin mentioned that many labs were at extreme values, such as the CD 15-3 being over 9000. Dr. Kollin said she has some substernal pain.
Dr. Kollin asked for help from the group in order to be able to help this patient.
Dr. Proefrock asked if there is a baseline hormonal output. That has not been tested yet. Dr. Proefrock talked about the buildup of toxic intermediates, through the glucuronidation pathway. This creates a biological white noise, in that what has gone through phase I is now more water soluble, and therefore now more problematic, more absorbable. He suggested adding gluronolactone for this patient. He said that you might want to induce menopause, if it hasn’t already happened, that is, to take down the source of some of the problematic hormones.
Dr. Proefrock suggested considering for this patient a scopolamine patch – It acts for 3 days, and can give her enough relief to at least eat and get a break from the worst of her condition. He mentioned the adhesive on it can be difficult. Dr. Lopez said she could have dry mouth. Other than this, the scopolamine patch seems to usually be well-tolerated.
Dr. Proefrock also commented that in this patient there are so many metastases, that angiogenesis has already happened. Molybdenum methionate could be helpful to slow further progression of angiogenesis. Dr. Proefrock would use colchicine, Catharanthus, Cephalotaxus with such patients. But also the tropane alkaloids of the scopolamine can have an effect on the cancer.
Dr. Proefrock cautioned that you have to be careful in a situation like this, because something that is a cytotoxic therapy, because of the huge tumor mass, is likely to create a huge burden of toxins that she has to deal with on top of the cancer. And that in itself can induce much morbidity.
Dr. Kollin commented that the patient cannot keep anything down orally. The patient had tried the ketogenic diet at some point. Dr. Proefrock described how he has a pancreatic cancer patient who is thriving on a ketogenic diet and calorie restriction.
Hyperthermia, Dr. Proefrock said, could be helpful. Simple wet sheet packs.
Dr. Proefrock talked about using chemosensitivity testing, such as Dr. Nagourney uses.
Dr. Kollin wondered if the SOT – single — nucleotide polymerase is a subject for upcoming research.
John Oertle NMD is a local naturopathic physician, who works with cancer patients and others, using IV therapies and other modalities.
We welcomed him to our group and to please join us in the future.
NEXT BOARD MEETING: Friday, May 9, 2014 at noon, at the usual place, the Nature Works Best Medical Clinic in Tempe. Food from Chipotle’s will be served, unless objections surface before then. We will ask you a few days in advance to choose something from that menu.
Please mark your calendars now, to keep that afternoon open for ANRI / NORI.
Discussion of Dr. Worden’s study, and consideration of future relationship between this board and ASU and or other large institutions.

As someone who works in the gaming industry as a full time job, launching a MMORPG is a rather time-consuming activity for both the publisher and developers, but mostly for the players. Considering such games requires hundreds of hours of gaming to get to the epitome of experience, I can’t keep up with all the changes and will just simply dream of catching up with my already high-level friends. But I have a soft spot for MMORPGs and in general online experiences that love to add more than just cosmetic changes, and this is how I felt with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and I couldn’t miss this second expansion pack called Stormblood, especially after the great 2015 Heavensward. And so even after fighting the temptation for couple of days, I decided to shamefully jump on the paid Job Level-Boost and Scenario Skip to start with a new character, and so I can experience one of the new jobs from the previous expansion (the Dark Knight).
So what’s new in this expansion? Well seems like the core of Stormblood has been used to redesign all classes to overcome the main game problem, and narrow the gap between new and old players, making each one of them trully unique to play. Ditching the somewhat complex system of shared skills, each class will now have a well-defined RPG role: Healer, Tank, DPS, Long Distance, Support… etc. While many skills and actions have changed, others were simply suppressed for the sake of clarity, and a job gauge has also been added, specific to each one, rather relevant and well thought out, to be able to realize combos efficiently. The result is a more fluid gameplay, certainly, but also more simplistic, a bit too easy for some veteran players, making certain combos almost child play (especially those used to DPS).
As most of my fellow raiders pointed out, this new system kind of establish a sort of routine. Some classes lost a bit of interest in the game which will probably be improved in the next patches, while others gained drastic changes in maneuverability. It is also regrettable that the dynamics of the global cooldown has remained unchanged, still making the game a little slower than its competitors in terms of pace, but it is also understandable for a game of this scale in terms of technicalities. After all, Final Fantasy XIV is a cross-platform game (PC and PlayStation 4), and I always felt like the gameplay was slowed down to facilitate the task for us consoles players who obviously don’t have the upper hand in comparison to those using keyboard and mouse combos, with a much clearer engine and animation. In any case, after a few hours of game we quickly get used to these new game mechanics, realizing that Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is more fun, easier to manage, more complex in some ways, and as you imagine brings bigger challenges and new raids.
The biggest strength of Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood lies mainly in its story, and Naoki Yoshida’s desire to affirm his desire to create a full-fledged Final Fantasy, attracting all the fans of the series and making it his perennial episode. By consolidating the Final Fantasy universe, spreading several easter eggs and references, the game never ceases to amaze me by its choices, stories that are often audacious. In Stormblood, your character is at the heart of the revolution in the Gyr Abania and Doma territories, lands now desolated. You and your companions will have to travel through these different regions in order to motivate the troops and to unite the different factions of insurgents to fight a common enemy and take over the city-state of Ala Mhigo. That resistance is organized around new charismatic and endearing characters, reminding us how good the team at Square Enix can be in terms of writing. Your involvement as player is perfectly positioned in this story, and some epic quests will make you witness particularly fun moments, despite its rather laborious start as an adventure.
Different in terms of theme when comparing to Heavensward (which was very “Middle Age” oriented), Stormblood focuses on a mystical style full of contemplation and wandering among its various landscapes inspired by Asian countries. The region seem to be depopulated, with scattered camps but the scenery works, and one feels cut off from the mainland, discovering new customs and beliefs of the locals. While this is quite enchanting can leaves sometimes an impression of emptiness, not really tempting into replaying some areas, on top of an excessive number of fetch-and-deliver quests, despite an effort to make them sometimes more entertaining with the use of mini-games. The new city of Kugane, strongly inspired by the architecture of shogun-era Tokyo (or known as Edo at that time), full of detailed alleys, with life at every corner, and of course a supporting artistic and soundscape direction.
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood also marks the arrival of a new important game mechanics: swimming. For the moment, that new game mechanic is as easy to control and manage as flying, but it mainly breaks these “invisible” barrier, adding a true feeling of freedom in these new lands, especially after your first dip in the Ruby Sea. Who knows, maybe the team will add Blitzball?
The game of course adds new jobs, mainly two DPS classes which are the Samurai. The latter is a melee class, perfect for new players, and a little easy for regulars, with Its core mechanics resting on a 3-combos to cooldown then powerful attack, plus a management of its gauge of “rage” which grows according to the success of the previously mentioned hits. The second job is the Red Mage, which is more interesting, as it combines melee and distance attacks, and requires you to balance two magical sides (black and white) in an innovative asymmetric gameplay.
Finally, new dungeons and two new raids have been added thanks to Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. Inspired by Japanese mythology or legends and artistically remarkable, you’ll need to go through quite a chunk of the storyline to test the first dungeons, which are rather linear. Again this choice of level design has certainly been thought of so that the new players can get used to the game without too much of a hitch, and the whole is in the end well paced, with awesome boss strategies to figure out. I’ll admit that I finally feel there was a desire to break the monotony of the previous expansion pack, and establishing new mechanics has brought a wind of fresh air. Finally the end game promises to be consistent since we remind you that it is possible to alternate between all the available classes, and that this time you will have to reach level 70 to participate in the next raids (Omega) planned to launch soon.
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood was reviewed using an PlayStation 4 copy of the game provided by Square Enix. The game is also available on PC in both retail and online stores releases. We don’t discuss review scores with publishers or developers prior to the review being published.
Final Fantasy XIV has always been an episode of the series in its own right, but Stormblood solidify that statement with style. Far from resting on his laurels, Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood clearly continued the successful Heavensward recipe, and tries new approaches to attract new players, with an exciting storyline full with great characters, involving the player at the center of this new universe. If you haven't played it yet, or been on a hiatus, this is a great expansion pack to grab.

It’s important in American English to link words together so one word flows into the next. When a word ends in a vowel or diphthong and the next word begins in one, that is a great opportunity to slide the two words together.
Today I’m going to do another video on linking. And today specifically, we’ll talk about linking two words when one ends in a vowel sound and the next one begins in a vowel sound — vowel or diphthong sound. In this case, there should be consonant sound when you are linking; there should be no break between the words. Let’s take for example the sentence, Did you exercise? Ooo–eh, oo-eh. You–eh, you exercise. Some of my students put a tiny break between each word. And if you say oo eh with a tiny break, no matter now small that break is, it’s still not linked. Ooeh, ooeh, constant sound.
Now, I’ll note that there are two consonant sounds, the W and the Y, that are glide consonants. And you may find that you feel like you’re making one of these sometimes when you link. That’s ok. You-eh. The ‘oo’ as in ‘boo’ is very related to the W consonant sound. So if you feel like you’re making that W consonant sound, don’t worry about it. Think about the constant sound, uh, of your vocal cords underneath the vowel sounds that you’re making. Oo-eh, oo-eh.
For some of you this will be no problem because your native language also links. For some of you however, though it’s a simple concept, it will take a while to get comfortable with that, to break the habit of putting tiny breaks between words. So, let’s look at some further examples. In this sentence, the word yellow ends with the ‘oh’ as in ‘no’ diphthong, and the word apple with the AA vowel. Oh, aa. Oh-aa, oh-aa, no break in sound. Oh-aa. And now quicker: oh-aa, oh-aa. I’d like the yellow apple.
The ‘ai’ as in ‘buy’ diphthong linking with the AA. Aiaa, aiaa, aiaa. I actually did. This next sentence in the title of a standard that I happened to have in my head while I was brainstorming this blog. We have the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel linking to the ‘ih’ as in ‘sit’ vowel. Ee-ih, ee-ih, ee-ih. Don’t fence me in. Here we have the ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ linking to the schwa sound. Ee-uh, ee-uh. She wants to be alone. And here the ‘ow’ as in ‘now’ diphthong linking to the schwa. Ow-uh, ow-uh, ow-uh. How about tomorrow?
The EE vowel linking to the AA vowel. Ee, aa, ee-aa, ee-aa, ee-aa. I like Woody Allen movies. The ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel linking to the ‘ah’ as in ‘father’ vowel. Ee, ah, ee-ah, ee-ah, ee-ah. I’d be honored. This last sentence has two examples. The ‘ai’ as in ‘buy’ diphthong linking to the ‘aw’ as in ‘law’ vowel. Ai-aw, ai-aw, ai-aw. I almost. The ‘ee’ as in ‘she’ vowel linking to the ‘ai’ as in ‘buy’ diphthong. Ee, ai, ee-ai, ee-ai, ee-ai. The ice. I almost fell on the ice.That’s it and thanks so much for using Rachel’s English.

This research investigates a k-out-of-n system in which the lifetime of operational and standby components, the repair time follow continuous phase-type (PH) distribution, instead of exponential distribution or others typical distributions. The proposed paper provides an analytic reliability model that is more suitable to characterize the real situation. The stationary distribution is built by using matrix analytic methods; and several reliability measures of interest are obtained, such as the system stationary availability, system up period, mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean number of failures per unit time (MNF). Finally, a numerical example is presented which implements the applicability and calculability of the model and demonstrate how system reliability measures are influenced by parameter k when n is fixed.
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the effect of anticipated stresses and strains that vacuum cleaner and extractor hoses will receive in normal use.

I find it quite frustrating that the vast physical boundary known as the Atlantic Ocean often manifests in genealogical research as an equally foreboding obstacle. Two of the lines I'm working on for my wife's family reach the East Coast and then - vanish. Well, it's not quite as dramatic as that, but information about them definitely dries up around the time they were to have arrived in the United States.
The Robaks, for example, are quite the enigma. Thankfully my wife's grandfather is still with us and is more than happy to share stories of his childhood growing up an a farm in southern Michigan. According to his recollection, the Robak family (mother, father, eldest brother) arrived in Detroit from Austria just prior to his birth in 1916. The census records bear some of this out, showing father John as being of Polish decent born in Austria and a naturalized citizen from 1920 on. His oldest child Walter and his wife Viola (or Valerie of Valeria, depending on the year) remain aliens until the 1930 census. Their year of arrival is most suspect, however. My wife's grandfather insisted it was 1916, yet in the 1910 census all three family members are counted and list the year as 1907. In 1920 they list the year of arrival as 1909, and in 1930 it jumps back to 1906. It seems obvious that the 1916 suggestion is erroneous, particularly when one considers that their first two children born in America have birth years of 1908 and 1912. This fact also eliminates the year of 1909 listed on the 1920 census. Still, what were the Robaks up to? Were they trying to hide something, or did they truly forget when they came to America? An internet search of immigration and naturalization records, including those of Ellis Island, has turned up absolutely nothing even remotely related to the three immigrant Robaks. Thanks to Chris Kull, Archivist for the Monroe County Historical Museum in Michigan, I was able to find obituaries for John, Viola, and Paul (a son). A request for copies has been sent, in which I hope to find more clues about the Robaks' arrival in the United States. The next step is, I suppose, firing off $20 for a USCIS index search and, if they get a hit, another $20 for the record.
The other family that is giving me fits is the Riley family. Whereas the Robaks are early 20th-century immigrants, the Rileys take things back to the mid 19th-century and the Irish diaspora. Beginning with the 1860 census, the Riley family of Christopher and Bridget are fixtures in Urbana, Ohio. Both Christopher and Bridget consistently list their origins as Ireland. Their first child, Mary, was born in Ohio in 1859 and that is the first record we have of them in America. In 1860, Christopher's mother Bridget (born in Ireland in 1799) is living with them, so that gives us two ancestors to search for in naturalization and immigration records. Like the Robaks, however, nothing can be found. Unfortunately, both Christopher and Bridget (as well as Christopher's mother) are gone before the census questions regarding year of arrival are asked. Christopher was born in 1831, so basically I am stuck with a considerably large range of twenty-eight years to sift through. I've not yet exhausted my options when it comes to the Rileys. I have the date that Christopher passed away, as well as the location of his grave, so perhaps something in his death and burial records will shed some light on the situation. Assuming, of course, that his records still exist somewhere in Champaign County or the state archives.
With the amount of records kept regarding arriving immigrants, I find it remarkable that actually discovering information pertaining to specific ancestors is a considerable challenge. I suppose it speaks to the sheer number of people arriving that so many immigrants went uncounted and unrecorded, frustrating genealogists generations later.

The power of Retreats at Don Lee I remember the first time I came to Camp Don Lee - it was in November of my sixth-grade year. Local churches from all over came to Don Lee for a church retreat and my friend’s church in Greensboro had come once or twice before. That year my friend’s youth leader agreed that she could bring a friend, me. I remember that the drive was long (3.5 hours from Greensboro), and I remember going over the New Bern bridge and my confusion having no idea where we were headed. I remember waking up in one of the numbered cabins over by the “old” bathhouse that Saturday morning; walking out of the cabin and being awe-struck by how close we were to the river’s edge. That weekend changed my life.
You see, my church didn’t have a contemporary worship service nor did it have a middle school youth ministry (or maybe I just didn’t know about it). But, attending a weekend retreat with my friend as a wide-eyed sixth grader was so exciting! And, looking back, if I had to pinpoint where I started taking my own faith seriously, I would point back to that retreat.
Singing “Prince of Peace”, “Light the fire” and 90’s favorite “Lions” (Oh, them lions they can eat my body, but they can’t …SLINKY… swallow my soul); watching older middle schoolers and high school students from other churches talk about their faith and how they read the bible; playing field games with more than 100 other Christians; well, it made an impression. It connected me to a youth ministry early in my middle school career by providing the space to build some really deep relationships with other students, but more importantly adult leaders who loved me and still love me to this day. It allowed me to experience worship in a really meaningful way, and showed me how joyful, fun and ALIVE the church could be.
I ended up working at Camp Don Lee during my college summers, working weekend retreats as well during the year. I saw people open up to each other and to God through things like fishing, canoeing in Gatlin creek, or singing “The Crazy Moose” song around a campfire.
Now that I work in youth ministry, the value of retreating away has stayed central to the ministry I get to be a part of. At each church that I have found myself in, I keep coming back to Don Lee. The hospitality is un-matched and those views of the Neuse River hold some of my most precious and formative holy moments. I am so thankful for the kingdom work that Don Lee gets to spark, fan, and set ablaze through their retreat ministry.

Hong Kong can be cheap, if you are a beggar and you know how to live. If you get here fresh from Lonely Planet, however, wait for difficulties if you want to spend a little. There are people who earn 500 Euros a month and survive in some way (and people who earn five thousand, six thousand, and ten thousand: the rich are still many). But the rents are a hit. Prices go up monstrously from year to year. I saw them, with these eyes, outside the agencies. You can save on the air fare by buying your tickets from airpaz.

Liz (my wife) calls me out on a lot of things. This is good, since I have a lot of issues that need work. Early in our dating relationship, one of the first issues she called me out on was that I would, as she put it, deflect questions about myself.
This would happen most often in a group setting, but would occasionally spill into conversations just the two of us were having. She'd ask me a personal question, and I would find a way not to answer it. Often I didn't even realize that I was doing it, but I would find a way to answer vaguely, segue into a question for her, and keep the conversation going.
Since many people are happy for any opportunity to talk about themselves, they wouldn't noticed I had done this and would happily answer my question. Liz was and is not one of those people. She would stop the conversation with a simple "you didn't answer my question." I would do my thing again, and she would once more answer "you still haven't answered my question."
Can you see why I married her?
I'm not entirely cured of this habit, and will go into this mode if I'm uninterested in sharing about myself to someone, for instance if I don't feel they're worth my story. That might sound harsh but I don't think it is. My story is unique and precious, as is everyone's, so I don't want to share it in an unsafe/uncaring environment.
I do actually love to listen to the stories of others, that's why I became a coach and call myself a Professional Listener. I find that I'm able to listen to the stories that people tell and pick up on themes and threads in their lives. I'm able to paint a picture of peoples' lives they've never seen before.
Because I'm good at this, sometimes I find myself using it as a defense in social situations. I'll be listening and asking questions so that I don't have to be vulnerable, and sometimes I don't talk about myself because of a particular voice inside of my head. This is a voice that as soon as I start talking about myself begins yelling "BOOOORRRIIING. NOBODY CARES. STOP BLABBING ABOUT YOURSELF. WRAP IT UP ALREADY!"
Who is this voice and where does he come from? I really don't know, but he's mean. There a side of me that wants to be known, and wants to tell my story, and there is this other side that wants to keep me silent. I think that he's hoping to protect me from getting hurt, and from the embarrassment of someone else telling me that my story is uninteresting.
Every time we share our story we are expressing what is deep within us, what is truly ours to give. The fear I have, and I think I may not be alone, is what if there is no place in the world for what I have inside me? What if I have no place in this world?
As soon as you open your mouth you give up something. Words have power, but that goes both ways.
Words can prop you up and give you power over others, they can also show you for who you really are. What if who I am isn't good enough? What if by opening my mouth people will realize that I'm not as smart as I want them to think I am, or not as wise as I pretend to be? What if I say something insensitive, ignorant, or inadvertently racist?
I find myself like the duck, swimming in the waters of others, but when I leave, the connection slides off my back like water on the duck's feathers. So yes, sometimes I will swim in your waters, but I won't take you with me.
Do you find yourself avoiding intimacy in conversations, if so, how? Where do you think that is coming from?

A Note from Chris Adams: The motherhood challenge is huge for a women’s leader. We so want to help them ALL! But it’s not that easy. Dr. Deb Douglas, First Baptist Church, Bossier City, LA challenges us to reach moms in a feasible way—one mom at a time.
My mom was a gorgeous woman dressed in heels, hose, and a cinched in waist dress. She was an amazing cook and an incredible Bible teacher. She was wise and wonderful and busy.
Me? My style is more jeans, lace, and boots…but that’s just today!
My daughter in her cutesy pregnancy style is adorable! My daughter-in-law’s style of motherhood is more quiet confidence and strength. I love that every mom’s style is unique.
Not only are styles of moms different, so are their ministry needs. How do women’s leaders help all these different kinds of moms?
Granola moms. These moms are fabulous at making their own baby food and knowing where the best organic meats and veggies are. These moms are offended by waste in ministry.
Soccer moms. Or baseball moms. Or gymnastic moms. Get the picture? These are moms who are busy with practices and games or performances, along with travel to events. Having online Bible studies works best for these moms.
Sandwich moms. These moms are caring for their younger children while parenting their high schoolers or college-age children, often while trying to hold down a job. These moms are stressed to the max. Encouragement is the best way to minister to these moms! Cards, texts, and sweet, short conversations are treasures!
Single moms. Help! These moms need a break—physically, financially, and emotionally! Anything we can pour into these moms will be helpful.
The point is, we cannot minister to all moms the same way. Moms are individuals with individual needs. Knowing our moms on a personal basis (and yes, this is possible!) is the key.
Praying and asking God to bring moms in need into our lives will help us better minister to and better understand moms!
Be intentional about understanding the style of moms and the needs of moms.
It’s a big challenge, but we can do this with God’s help! Get out there and get into the style—the styles of motherhood that is!

While the month of Adar is still more than twelve weeks away, Amram Adar is set to debut in the Jewish music scene in time for Chanukah with a 12 song album titled Baruch Hashem.
A Miami native, Adar has been singing for most of his life, and his carefully trained voice is both eloquent and spectacular. It is clear why veteran producer Yochi Briskman signed on to work with Adar, on this album which was eighteen months in the making. While Adar’s name may be new to many, he has been making his mark in the cantorial and philharmonic world for years.
Baruch Hashem features a tantalizing array of music in all genres: from Yiddish to Hebrew, from Chasidic to horas and including a breathtaking cantorial selection, Adar’s sweet voice shines in every genre. A relative newbie to the the world of Chasidic musc, Adar teamed up with many of the biggest talents in the business, in addition to some lesser known names, to create this strikingly unique album. With compositions by Yitzy Waldner, Yochanan Shapiro, Yoni Eliav, Dr. Mordechai Sobol, and Adar himself and arrangements by Mona Rosenblum, Moshe Laufer, Ian Freitor, Ofir Sobol Yanky Briskman, Dr. Mordechai Sobol and Yoni Eliav there is an impressive array of quality material, coaxed to perfection by a team of experts. Choirs by Moshe Roth Yossi Greenbaum, Ofir Sobol and Yoely Horowitz of the Shira choir lend an extra touch to the album and under Yochi Briskman’s careful guidance, both Baruch Hashem and Adar himself are sure to make their mark in the Jewish music world in a very big way.
Baruch Hashem is being distributed by Aderet Music and is due in stores on December 11th. It will be available on CD and Digital Download.
Stay tuned for a first taste of Adar with the release of an exciting music video debuting next week!

When you call cacheManager.removeCache(...), the cache is stopped, and it's cache store is cleared and stopped along with it. After clear() operation the SingleFileStore truncates the file to 4 bytes (file magic number), but it does not delete it. With stop(), the file is not deleted.
The workaround could be to register a listener @CacheStopped, and guess the single file store file location (from cache name, probably) in order to delete that file.

Why you should buy our Battery Powered Rodent Repeller?
Best to use in difficult to reach areas where you may not have access to electricity.
Sufficient intensity and duration of the ultrasonic sound wave to attack the auditory and nervous systems of most common rodents.
They will attempt to avoid the area and give up staying at your place.
Its important to note that there are limitations with ultrasonic waves, ie they can not penetrate through obstacles or more around corners.
If you require a Rat and Mice repeller with multiple technologies including electromagnetic pulses that get sent through the wiring in your home/work, then you can consider the Pestrol Rodent Free.
ULTRASONIC PEST CONTROLLER projects direct frequency of 40,000 Hz to 42,000 Hz for 0.4 seconds at every 8 seconds intermittently.
It will affect rats and mice badly and they will never get used to the undulatory signal emitted by the unit.
The Ultrasonic Rodent Repeller uses 1 x 9V alkaline battery (not supplied) and the battery will last approximately 6 months.
Remove the bottom case by twisting it counterclockwise.
Install 1 x 9V battery to the snap connector.
Replace the bottom case by twisting it clockwise until locked.
The light will indicator will flash every 4 seconds to let you know the unit is working properly.
When the light stops blinking, it is time to replace the battery.
