Here's some news out of the latest budget deal that pretty much escaped the notice of the general public: PBGC premiums have again been increased.
What, you say, are PBGC premiums? Some quick background for non-actuaries: the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, is a FDIC-like agency whose purpose is to protect the pensions of employees of bankrupt companies. Established as a part of the 1974 ERISA legislation, it collects premiums from employers who provide defined benefit pensions, both a flat per-participant amount and an additional premium based on the relative underfunding of the plan. Then, whenever a bankrupt company's plan is taken over by the PBGC, it uses whatever funds remain in that company's pension fund, as well as additional funds generated from these premiums, to pay those pensions. Because of a number of takeovers of very-underfunded pension plans from bankrupt companies, and because the PBGC's financial health isn't measured on the basis of yearly inflows and outflows, but is measured based on the present-value cost of future pension promises (using conservative assumptions, boosting liabilities, so quite the opposite of state and local public plans using aggressive liability-lowering assumptions), the PBGC does have an underfunding issue, so, if you take no note of the unintended consequences, it makes perfect sense to boost premiums.
And bankrate.com reports:
The insurance premiums that companies pay into the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp., or PBGC, will increase. The single-employer fixed premium would be raised from $64 per person to $68 for 2017, $73 for 2018, and $78 for 2019, and then re-indexed for inflation. The proposal also tightens the way that companies calculate their actuarial liabilities to better reflect lengthening life spans. This is a win for anyone in the private sector expecting an old-fashioned defined benefit pension.
Now, "indexed for inflation" isn't quite right — the new indexation will be by average wage increases, so the premiums will grow faster than inflation. But nonetheless, it sounds pretty sunny.
But what's the ultimate consequence? Only the hastening of the end of employer-sponsored defined benefit pensions.
Here's the deal: remember how I asked the other day, "Why don't retirees buy annuities?" — and discussed costs and skepticism? Well, employers don't think that annuities are such a bad deal. It's called pension de-risking, and right now it's about the only growth industry in the pension consulting business (which is, ironically, all about getting the consulting firms a big dose of short-term profit at the expense of their long-term business, since, as DB pensions disappear, so will DB pension-consulting jobs). Employers start by offering "terminated vesteds" (those who left the company and have the right to a benefit in the future) an actuarially-equivalent lump sum in exchange for forgoing their pension at retirement. Then they offer retirees the same deal. Then, for those who turn down the deal, they buy annuities from one of the major providers such as Prudential. For example, General Motors did this, and now my Dad gets his pension check from Prudential each month. Verizon made the news for such a deal, because they also had enormous numbers of retirees. And, at work, I listen to training sessions in which colleagues present the materials they also show to clients, which demonstrate that, when taking into account group annuity rates, and the additional costs an employer bears besides just the pension checks themselves, buying annuities for their retirees are a pretty good deal. And what are those additional costs? Administrative expenses, yes, and also exactly these PBGC premiums — so that every additional increase (and this is the third since 2012) moves the calculus further in favor of the de-risking option.
And what's the reason for the premium hikes? Because, in budget scorekeeping, even though the money is earmarked for the PBGC alone, it still counts as revenue, and is perceived of by Congress as "free money" – that is, additional revenue without a major special interest group complaining, as you'd get if you raised taxes. (See this Forbes article, among others.)
Now, there's nothing all that harmful with employers buying annuities for pensioners. Sure, an interest group called ProtectSeniors.org calls this "pension stripping" and complains that retirees with annuities rather than pension benefits lose ERISA protections such as creditor protection. But the risks to individual retirees are minimal, when the receive annuities — it's only when they choose a lump sum option, but without the ability to manage it, and without the investment risk and longevity risk protections of pensions, that they're at risk, and employers pair lump sum offerings and annuities together whenever they have a de-risking program.
Besides which, there are still employers who offer defined benefit pension plans with ongoing accruals. Their numbers are shrinking, and there's every reason to believe that their numbers will continue to shrink down to zero, but in the meantime, they provide a meaningful benefit for their employees, with protections defined contribution/401k plans lack, no matter how generous they may be. And, besides simply being unfair, using employers as a cash cow in this manner will only accelerate this trend.
As a reminder: yes, pensions are disappearing; there's no stopping that. Yes, we need some way forward that helps Americans manage risk in ways that DC plans lack. But it's foolish to accelerate the end of DB plans when we haven't figured this out.

Hi Everybody!
I'm back to share another project using the always amazing So Suzy Stamps! Father's Day will be here before we know it, so I decided to get a jump on my Dad's Day cards. Thanks to the perfect stamp that was released this month, Father's Day, they came out awesome! Let's take a look:
*There are a few members of my family that are father's so I decided to make a couple of different cards.
Here's a closer look at the mustache card:
*I created this card for my dad that has a little more "grown up" feel to it.
*This is a pocket style card that I cut using the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge (which you can grab HERE).
*To embellish the top, I used some beautiful Black Kraft twine from Timeless Twine.
*This will be so fun to grab a white gel pen and write my message on the back of the insert!
*The font on the stamp is gooooorgeous!!
Now let's look more at the kid style card:
*I cut the little dad figure from the Car Decals Cricut cartridge.
*I used some craft foam for my mat.\
*I added a red sequins heart, and black pearls for the eyes.
*The craft foam added some super fun dimension!!
Here are the quick links to the So Suzy supplies I used:
Father's Day sentiment stamp
I also wanted to remind you still have time to enter our May challenge! You can check that out and enter HERE.
Don't forget that So Suzy Stamps can be found on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. Yes, you should join us there and find more inspirations and fun!! TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :)

After a brief morning break, Synod reconvened with the report from Moderator's Committee on Memorials. Two memorials from Canada Presbytery were defeated. At this point, a motion was made to amend the Form of Government to require current ministers and elders to reaffirm their ordination vows, particularly with regard with the issue of affirming the inerrancy of Scripture as it has now been defined by the ARP Church. The motion was referred to the Committee to Revise the Form of Government (to be reported at Synod 2012). A third memorial dealing with rules of order for Synod passed. A fourth memorial was defeated, but a substitute motion that would allow the recording of names for votes in the Minutes of Synod passed.
Other committee reports were considered. The court agreed with the recommendations of the Committee on Inter-church Relations to discontinue membership in the International Council of Reformed Churches and to dissolve fraternal relations with the Christian Reformed Church.
The Report of Erskine College and Erskine Theological Seminary was then considered. The chairman of the Erskine Board of Trustees, Joe Patrick, addressed the court. Two other trustees also spoke. Rev. Ray Cameron spoke on the new by-laws that had been drafted by the BoT, and he addressed the concerns over non-Christians being admitted in the U.S. Army's MEDCOM program at the seminary. This portion of the report clearly states that mistakes were made by the seminary with regard to admission of students to the program, and the BoT has taken steps to reaffirm its commitment to Christian commitment and biblical inerrancy, and it is taking steps to deal with this and other related issues. Bill Cain (incoming vice chair of the BoT) also addressed the Synod. He spoke about financial issues affecting the college and seminary, as well as issues of personnel and tenure and the difficulties these present. Finally, Dr. David Norman, President of Erskine College and Seminary, spoke to the court. Dr. Norman gave a PowerPoint presentation that showed students at Erskine College who had been admitted (directly) into Ph.D. programs, medical school (9 students — roughly 10% of the graduation class — applied to medical school, and all 9 were admitted). Several other students had been admitted to graduate school. But Dr. Norman also spoke about the number of professions of faith on campus and the number of students who were serving on short term mission trips.
Five recommendations from the Moderator's Committee were all approved, including calling for a season of prayer and fasting for the college and seminary and the amendment of the proposed by-laws of the BoT to put them in accord with the newly adopted procedures for the removal of board members. After these recommendations were approved, Rev. Clint Davis made a motion that would amend the charter of Erskine, should both the Synod and the BoT agree with the changes. The motion received enthusiastic support from members of the court and BoT and passed. Another motion, whereby the Synod expressed its support for 6 faculty members of Erskine Seminary (see here for the context), also passed.
A motion to refer the newly adopted procedure for removal of board members to the Executive Board of General Synod was defeated after lengthy debate. The report of the ARP Magazine was being considered as the Synod headed into the lunch hour.

"I'm looking out from inside the chaos. It must be a one-way mirror because no one seems to be able to see back inside to where I am. The looks on their faces, the judgment in their eyes, tells me everything I need to know. The most frustrating part about the whole messed up situation is that even though I'm the one that they stare at in shock, I am just as shocked as they are. I know no more than they do of why I lose control. What they don't know is that I am more scared of myself than they could ever be." ~ Tally Baker After a devastating turn of events, seventeen year old Tally Baker is admitted to Mercy Psychiatric Facility where she is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. She has come to a place where she honestly believes that her life is over. Her mind tells her that she will never smile or laugh again, that she will never be normal again. It is in this unlikely place that she meets two people, different in every way, yet both critical to helping her realize that she has so much more living to do. Candy, a cantankerous sixty year old Mercy Psychiatric patient, is hell bent on driving everyone as crazy as she is. Candy shows Tally that, regardless of her diagnosis, the ability to push on and live her life to the fullest is her choice and hers alone. In the midst of Tally's oftentimes humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching, escapades with Candy, a new patient is admitted to Mercy—a Native American woman named Lolotea. Along with this new patient comes a daily visitor, her son, Trey Swift. At first glance, it is obvious to Tally that he is incredibly handsome and unbelievably caring. But what she learns through her second glance, and many thereafter, is that there is much more to Trey than he ever lets on. It is during these daily visits that Trey and Tally build a friendship far deeper than either of them truly realize. With Trey, Tally feels for the first time since being admitted that someone is looking at her as a person and not as a disease. Trey begins to make it clear that he wants more than friendship, but she knows that she can never give him more. How can she, when she won't even give him the truth? Tally doesn't tell Trey that she is a patient at Mercy, and she doesn't ever plan to. Her plans go up in flames when she finds out that Trey is a new student at her school, the school where her brokenness was found out in the floor of the girl's bathroom in a pool of her own blood.
What an amazing book by Quinn Loftis.I think whats most amazing is it is about mental illness in teens and the fact that it shows Tally at her lowest and it shows that she is able to live with it.The story shows that this is not all rainbows and butterfly's but a day to day thing.I loved Trey.I think if there were more guys like him in the world,The world would be a better place.What a strong young man.Candy was hilarious.Quinn was able to take a very hard subject and make Candy run with it and make the book have laughter in it.I was so angry at Tally's parents through the entire book,What parents do that?I loved this book from start to finish.I think what touched me the most was at end of the book Quinn wrote that she dealt with Bi-Polar Disorder and that writing this book she brings mental disorders to light.She makes you realize others are dealing with these issues when you think you are alone in the world.You in fact are not.Major Kudos to Quinn for being brave and writing this book.I know it had to have been hard on her.This is a MUST read.A Must.

Super Smash Bros. for both the Wii U and 3DS are games that all Nintendo fans have been waiting for and with each day that passes, we just get closer and closer to its release. Nintendo has been doing a great job of keeping us informed of new characters, assist trophy's and stages that we could expect to be available. Seeing how Mega Man will finally be included as a fighter, it's only fitting Dr. Wily's Castle would make its way to Super Smash Bros.
Dr. Wily's Castle stage will be featured in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros., although at this time, no images of the 3DS version were released. Players will be able to duke it out in front of Dr. Wily's iconic castle while also avoiding an old enemy, the "yellow devil." It appears the yellow devil will make his presence known to the fighters in Super Smash Bros., although just how much of an impact he'll make during fights, or if you can even battle him, is unknown at this time.
We know some characters and stages will be omitted from the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros., although we're sure a good majority of content will still be made available in the handheld version of the game.

In early spring of 1956, my Mother was just about to enter the second tri-mester of her pregnancy, when my younger sister Elaine came home from school with a mimeographed letter. The letter was an announcement that Scarlet Fever was going around Elaine's school. The symptoms were provided and a request to notify your doctor immediately if you thought you had acquired the disease.
Within days, my sister Elaine was sent home from school with the symptoms of Scarlet Fever. She had a fever, an upper body rash, a sore throat and the strawberry tongue. A day or two later, I became very ill at school. I remember being in the nurses office and hearing the nurse tell my Mother over the phone that I had a temperature of 104 degrees. I was sent home, a very sick girl. After arriving home I realized my brother Lee and sister Linda also had come down with the disease.
My Mother called the doctor. In those days, doctors still made house calls, so Dr. Clark came right over to our house and told my Mother there was a new miracle drug for Scarlet Fever. Dr. Clark gave us each a shot of this new miracle drug: Penicillin. Then we all went to bed.

DBS starts to enjoy returns from digitalization Singapore bank DBS is starting to enjoy the profit from its digitalization program launched in 2014.
DBS had around 6 million customers in Singapore and Hong Kong in 2017, 2.5 million of whom or about 42 percent, were customers of its digital-based business, DBS CEO Piyush Gupta said on Thursday
"Only 42 percent of our customers converted to [the digital platform], but they produced 63 percent of our profit," he said during a media briefing at the DBS office in Singapore.
He added that revenue from digital customers in 2017 reached SG$1,300 (US$954.47) per customer, compared to SG$600 per customer from the conventional service.
Therefore, Gupta said, the bank had to think like a technology company instead of a bank.
Since 2009, DBS has been converting its physical servers into a cloud, he said, adding that the bank had its own the in-house technology and trained its own employees.
The digitalization program is not only used to serve customers, but also to strengthen the bank's management.
Gupta said that with the technology, DBS company could estimate how many employees were seeking to resign with an accuracy of 84 percent.
"So, the human resources development unit could anticipate the employees who want to quit the company nine months prior [to their actual resignation]," he said. DBS starts to enjoy returns from digitalization (bbn, Anton Hermansyah, The Jakarta Post)

Hundred Acres
Randall had mentioned he wanted to take us to Hundred Acres for brunch so we checked out the menu online before we went. Boyfriend LOVES anything cinnamon (or curry) so when we saw the Cinnamon-sugar Donuts with mocha dipping sauce as a starter, I knew he'd want to try them.
We get to the restaurant and alas, there are no cinnamon-sugar donuts on the menu! No mocha dipping sauce. Nothing of the sort. Poor Boyfriend. So I went ahead and ordered warm, cream homemade biscuits with honey butter and banana walnut bread.
The biscuits were good but pretty dense. They really expanded in my stomach later on. The star of the plate was the honey butter. Randall likes this honey butter so much that he stole a bite of it and licked it right off his knife!
Boyfriend went with a chilaquiles dish that was very filling.
I chose the blueberry pancakes with creme fraiche. The pancakes were light, fluffy and scumptious but I was so full from my biscuit that I barely finished one!
Randall and Vu both went with Poached Eggs
house-made biscuits, smoked salmon & hollandaise sauce
Horace went with the French Toast on
semolina-raisin bread, caramelized pineapple & honey yoghurt
Horace's cousin Derrick went with one of the specials. An open faced sandwich. It must've been good because his plate was wiped clean when he was done!
Horace's other cousin Ehrlick went with the Acrs Scramble which came with a side of corn bread and salad.
Hundred Acres had a really nice atmosphere and comfy decor. I feel like I hardly ate anything though because the biscuit made me so full. I'll have to not order a starter next time and stick to a main dish!

Yet again something I want to order is not available (the cinnamon donuts). The warm cream biscuits were a nice consolation though. My chilaquiles were good, but not extraordinary. I think the biscuit took up a lot of space in my stomach as well since I was totally stuffed after this brunch. I had a few bites of Girlfriend's pancakes as well, but I couldn't finish what she couldn't finish.

Are the warm cream biscuits that come with the banana bread the same as the ones with the poached eggs?
How was the banana bread?

Are You Having These Dental Conversations with Your Kids?
We hope you had a great Father's Day with all of your loved ones. With June being Men's Health Month, it's time that you pass some of that dad wisdom down to your kids. For instance, here are dental conversations about oral health that you should have with your kids to help make a real impact!
The Importance of Dental Care
First of all, start teaching your kids about good oral health by setting a good example for them. Dads are more likely to neglect their oral health than moms, making dads more susceptible to oral health problems. You can help change these statistics by adopting good oral health habits yourself.
First, explain to your kids that regular dental cleanings and exams, along with daily flossing and twice-daily brushing, are key to maintaining a healthy smile. Secondly, when the family skips dental appointments or daily brushing and flossing, minor dental problems become serious.
Lastly, set a good example by improving your own routine. After all, with kids, it's monkey see-monkey do.
The Risk of Oral Cancer
Having your kids go to their annual dental checkups one of the best ways to catch the signs of oral cancer.
Teeth as Tools
If your kids see you open a package with your teeth, chances are they'll do the same. So make sure your kids understand that using teeth as tools increases the risk for cracked or chipped teeth — which can even lead to the need for a root canal.
Do your kids play sports or do activities? First, talk to them about the importance of mouthguards and how famous athletes wear them too. Secondly, consider the "boil-and-bite" style mouthguard, which is available at local stores.
In conclusion, if you need help talking to your kids about their oral health, contact your local dentist! They'll be happy to help them preserve their smiles for years to come.

Rush Limbaugh Attacks Liberals Over Attempt to Ban Photos of Aborted Babies
With the ongoing battle of abortion legality around, Rush Limbaugh has claimed that liberals are taking a stand against having photos of the very product that they wish to allow.
Limbaugh followed up on a column written by Andy McCarthy at The Corner.
"My friends at the American Freedom Law Center (I'm on the advisory board) have filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court urging the justices to reverse a Colorado state court ruling -- get this, now, -- that bans public display of 'gruesome' abortion images on the remarkable ground that pictures of children who have been aborted might ... offend children," said Limbaugh.
Rush added that liberals did not seem to have an issue with showing pictures and videos of the Abu Ghraib prison incidences during Bush's term.
"They wanted the pictures at Abu Ghraib displayed, and why? Well, because they were trying to humiliate Bush," he said.
Rush also discussed the 1st Amendment and how showing images of abortion falls under this. However, abortion does not.

UN'S International Day
Thousands of people to rally against violence against women
There are rallies and events all over the world to celebrate the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
Tens of thousands of people will march through the streets of cities all over the world on Sunday to mark the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
"Against violence, the government and the parliament must realise that this is a big social problem. It must be solved, it must be solved culturally and it must be solved in the schools. And so we are here to reaffirm again, and ask again for dignity", said one protester in an Italian march held on Saturday.
Luisa Morgantini, a member of the European Parliament who took part in the Rome march said most violence against women comes from within their family: "90 percent of the women are attacked, abused inside the families. And we are here together with all the women in the world because it is the international day against violence, as the United Nations also declared to say stop!"
Several marches are also called in the Basque capitals as well as in Navarre.Two women have been killed and 934 injured so far in 2007 in the Basque Country down to domestic violence. The Basque police have arrested 783 men.

Palace optimistic despite survey showing rise in jobless Filipinos
By Azer Parrocha
MANILA (Philippines News Agency) — Despite survey results that adult joblessness increased to 23.9 percent percent, Malacañang on Tuesday, Labor Day, remained optimisic that the Duterte administration's "Build, Build, Build" program would help generate more jobs for Filipinos.
A Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey released on Labor Day showed that the joblessness rate in the country soared to 23.9 percent, which is 8.2 percent higher than last year's 15.7 percent.
The survey revealed that the number of jobless adults rose to an estimated 10.9 million in March 2018 from 7.2 million in December 2017.
This was the second-highest mark under the current administration since the 25.1 percent recorded in December 2016, the survey said.
"We remain optimistic that with the implementation of our Build-Build-Build Infrastructure Plan, we would be able to generate more job opportunities to many of our countrymen," Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.
Roque said the survey was conducted from March 23 to 27 which is a time "when students just finished their last semester in college and are expected to look for jobs", hich contributed to an increase in adult joblessness.
He also noted that December "is a month where there are many seasonal jobs available because of the Christmas season."
Roque, meanwhile, underscored that SWS has three definitions for adult joblessness namely those who voluntarily left their old jobs; those who lost their jobs due to economic circumstances beyond their control, termed retrenched; and those seeking jobs for the first time.
President Rodrigo R. Duterte earlier signed an executive order on contractualization particularly prohibiting the illegal contracting and sub-contracting of workers in Cebu City.
The President assured the government is working to bring jobseekers and entrepreneurs closer together to open employment and business opportunities to Filipino workers.
"We will provide various Trabaho, Negosyo at Kabuhayan Job and Business Fair sites nationwide, where more than 140,000 job vacancies from private employers will be made available," Duterte said.
He also announced that close to 8,000 vacancies in government agencies are open for qualified applicants.
He said the labor department will also award livelihood projects worth PHP93 million to more than 10,000 informal sector workers.
The trade department, meanwhile, will give training and other assistance through Negosyo Centers.
The government will also organize Diskwento Caravans to workers to provide them with basic commodities at discounted prices. (PNA)

text: I began my research career in the laboratory of Kevin J. Tracey, MD, studying the mechanisms of pathological inflammation. My early work focused on validating HMGB1 as a therapeutic target, and gaining a broader understanding of its molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. I have also studied the "inflammatory reflex," a neural mechanism through which the central nervous system detects and regulates immune responses to infection and injury. More recently, through the pursuit of my doctoral dissertation I discovered the "neural tourniquet," a field of technology that uses electrical nerve stimulation to control traumatic hemorrhage. This technology has been validated in murine, rat and porcine models of peripheral and internal (non-compressible) trauma models. My current research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of the neural tourniquet, and the development of new devices to activate this novel mechanism to control bleeding. This technology has been licensed by Sanguistat, Inc., a startup biotechnology company focused on the clinical development and eventual commercialization of a novel, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for potential use in surgery, trauma, and bleeding disorders. As chief scientific officer of Sanguistat, Inc., I am directly responsible for the scientific development of our technology and its advancement to the clinic. I received my B.S. in biotechnology from William Paterson University in 1996 and a doctoral degree in molecular microbiology from Stony Brook University in 2009. I am author or co-author of approximately 80 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters and meeting abstracts, and co-inventor on a patent that describes vagus nerve stimulation to control hemorrhage.

NEW ORLEANS — It wasn't long after Saints players began celebrating in the locker room by dancing to their favorite song, that the Saints fans caught on.
That catapulted a West Bank man's music career, who now says he is humbled by his new found fame.
It's been a whirlwind for rap artist Choppa. Ever since Saints players began using his 'Choppa Style' song from 2002 as a locker room celebration tune, his life has changed.
"It's just so amazing for what to be happening, to be happening right now you know. I just want to give all glory to God," said Choppa.
Not only will he perform during halftime at the NFC Championship game on Sunday, but the other day when he was a mess after cleaning up after his four-week old Rottweiler puppies, he got a call to open for the Justin Timberlake concert.
"I had the phone to my ear and I'm like, 'Wait. Who? OK, when? Now?' And I looked at myself and I'm like, 'Awe man, I'm on my way,'" he laughed.
And when he thought he was just going to a Saints party, it turned out to be Drew Brees' 40th birthday party, where he got to sing to his favorite quarterback.
"But then I saw Alvin Kamara and I saw Mark Ingram then I saw all the football players and I looked to the left and I see Brees and I'm like, 'Wait a minute.' So it was a surprise party for him and it was a surprise for me also."
He also performed at Harrah's Casino.
"That was one of my big dreams to do the casino, and do it on my own you know. I didn't perform in casinos throughout my career, but I was always with another act, and just for me to be able to sell that show out on my own, oh man, that was just amazing."
But there is one major performance on his mind: The one on the field for the boys in black and gold on Sunday. His strategy is this: Don't walk in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome thinking the Rams are a team that the Saints already have beaten.
"Walk in with the mind focus that we know how to beat this team, and I believe we going to the Super Bowl and the city is just going to go crazy once this game is over, " he said.
And to show his confidence in the team, Choppa has had his Atlanta reservations for three months now.
Choppa says his main goal with his music is to bring energy and positive vibes to his fans, and inspire people to love and help each other.

By Stephanie Sarkis, Ph.D.
Many people ask me what the difference is between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Both ADHD and OCD seem to be highly heritable: if you have it, it's likely that at least one of your parents also has it. When you have ADHD, one of the issues is that your brain has a low level of a chemical called dopamine. When you have OCD, one of the issues is that your brain has too much of a chemical called serotonin. Sometimes people have both ADHD and OCD. This means that you have the inattention and/or hyperactivity of ADHD, along with the compulsions and/or obsessions of OCD.
Sometimes people with ADHD tend to have what look like compulsive tendencies. This is because we've learned to overcompensate for difficulties that we've experienced with distraction, disorganization and inattention. For example, when I shut the trunk of my car, I look to make sure my keys are in my hand. I also check that the stove is turned off after I've been using it and about to leave the house. I don't do those things because I have a compulsion; I have tendency to misplace my keys, so I want to make sure that I know that they're with me and in my hand before I shut the trunk of the car, and I check the oven because I've left it on before when I was at home. So there are some things that people with ADHD do to compensate for having problems with attention, focusing and forgetfulness.

In a way, it's a bit like my Random snippets of conversation posts. Oh yes it is.

Dear Jewelry's Allure Reader,
Are you reading the #1 best selling paperback novel about betrayal, hardship, and wealth? History has supplied us with the real thing; the gold rush of 1848. The California gold rush marks the beginning of the modern age of gold.
On January 24, 1848 John Marshall found the first pebble of gold at Sutter's Mill on the American River, now known as the Sacramento River. As word traveled, the California gold rush was born and prospecting became a way of life. His discovery led to one of the largest human migrations in our country's history which brought with it a resounding social and economic impact. Gold had always been reserved for the upper levels of society. Now, prospectors were pushing their way into social levels to which one had to be born - the common people not "the gods" now took possession of gold.
Good as gold, black gold, the gold coast, the golden rule, "make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold." The metaphors we use everyday for what is quality is in itself a testament to the universal allure of the precious metal.
Gold has made cities famous like Dawson City and Fort Knox. One city I'm personally familiar with is Lake Teslin in the Yukon. In 1893 my great grandfather, Bernard Scheeper, left his wife and two daughters, to live in White Plains, New York while he went to pan for gold in the Yukon. Here are his handmade Christmas cards he sent to his family Christmas of 1898. "Do you hear the wolves" he writes from his cabin. Thousands found gold in the Yukon, only a few hundred got rich.
The artist, Gustav Klimt, in Vienna in the late 1800's used gold in his painting The Kiss. Applied with heat and added to glass 22kt gold turns clear glass to red. And one has only to look up to the top of Grand Central Terminal to see the sculpture of Mercury with his winged feet standing a top a Tiffany timepiece. The dial features the largest example of Tiffany glass adorned in gold. In the Boucher Room at the Frick in New York City you can find opulent examples of 18th century French bronze gilded furniture.
In the light gold exudes a warmth and richness of color that is hard to put into words. It's almost spiritual. Maybe that's why a pre-Columbian chief was said to ritualistically cover his entire body in gold dust. I wonder if it made him feel closer to the gods? The opening of the James Bond film Goldfinger in the 1960's with the woman's body covered in shiny gold paint could take your breath away. Take a moment to observe a gold bracelet against tan skin in the afternoon summer sun, it's totally sensuous. Like a wedding band, we can find ourselves surrounded by gold in art, furniture, architecture and jewelry. Whether it's 14kt, 18kt, 22kt or 24 karat, what part of gold catches your eye and speaks to you with its subtle sparkle?

Chips, Chips and more Chips.
We do like chips in this house, possibly more than we should. But with so many after school clubs sometimes it just so much easier to pop them in the oven and get the housework done. So when McCain asked if we would like a bag of their home chips, how could I say no?
McCain chips are the nations favorite, and our chip of choice. I like them as they are a nice tasting chip and cook well. So we decided when our chips arrived to have them as part of quick Monday dinner.
I quite often cook a roast at the weekend and this forms the base of cubs night dinner. This week was going to be chicken and special cheesy chips, sprinkled with our favorite Nandos piri piri chip salt.
And very nice they were too!
We were sent a bag of chips by McCain to eat, but the opinions remain ours!

The Neutralizer 3 Pack The Neutralizer reduces the effects of harmful radiation from EMF. Includes 1 pack of 3 Aulterra Neutralizer™ discs and 1 brochure.
The Neutralizer by Aulterra International is the only product on the market with in vitro studies that prove human DNA can be protected from the damaging effects of RF/EMF. It reverses bio-electrical patterns emitted by wireless phones and blocks 100% of the detrimental effects from EMFs on human DNA. It provides protection from molecular, electrical, and thermal radiation emitted from electronic devices.
Man-made EMFs have a chaotic energy and frequency that is different than natural EMFs, and can disrupt or distort organic energy patterns. It is this ability to distort human energy patterns that causes artificial EMFs to be hazardous, inflicting damage to human DNA, disrupting ionic conductances, and weakening cellular metabolism.
Studies like the UC Irvine Experiment with Aulterra confirm that The Aulterra Neutralizer works to literally neutralize these EMFs, and to render them harmless to our bodies. How does this work? All particles coexist as waves and all waves coexist as particles. It is also well known that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but rather changes form. It can be said that the subatomic particles that make up toxic substances also exist in waveform.
Unlike other EMF blocking devices, the Neutralizer will not affect cellular phone reception or transmission. Your phone will still be the convenient communications tool you wanted it to be, but it will be much safer.
The Neutralizer is effective against harmful EMF/RF radiation with any style of cellular phone
- Any antenna style
- Any brand or model
- Digital, analog or dual mode phones
- New models as well as older styles
Cellular phones are not the only harmful EMF radiating devices in our homes or offices. If you have any of these electronic devices, you need the protection of the Neutralizer:
- Computer monitor and/or CPU
- Tablet and netbook computer
- E-book reader
- Portable media player
- WiFi router
- Microwave oven
- Cordless telephone
- Television
- Video game equipment
- Your home's utility smart meter
There's no complicated installation procedure with the Neutralizer. The adhesive backed disc will stick to almost any surface and provide you with constant protection for as long as it remains on the device. Just apply it to any relatively flat, smooth surface on your cellular phone, or other device and you can feel confident again.

EQ7 is getting ready to come out. I can't wait! Everything I've read says EQ7 is the best there is. You can actually load pictures of your own quilt into it and use that to try out changes. There's plenty of places taking advanced orders, but HERE is one place that's giving a copy away. Not just one copy either, but two: one for you and one to give away. So get over there and get registered.
Meanwhile, Judy Laquidara is taking a poll for a mystery quilt. Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE mysteries. Looks like I've finished some UFOs just so I can stock up again. Anyway, this mystery will start late May or June. Plenty enough time to finish a couple more UFOs.
Come on! You know you want to!

Colossians 1:24-2:23
Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness—the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. (Colossians 1:24 – 2:5)
Some of you are old enough to remember the drama and suspense – the hype that was built up for weeks ahead of time as we were promised that Geraldo Rivera would reveal the fortunes and the secrets of Al Capone's vault – the night came for the heralded TV show, drug out for an hour, increasing the suspense as they got closer and closer. Finally, they broke open the vault and… there was nothing there! Ah, but we love a good mystery filled with drama and suspense. Or maybe you don't.
Tell the truth now – do you turn to the last page of the book to find out how it's going to end? Do you take a peek at the answer when you're stumped on a crossword puzzle? Gone online to find out the secret code on how to beat the next level on your favorite video game?
Paul introduces a word here which to many of us may be a little unsettling – the word "mystery." We like our religion cut and dried, neat and tidy, unambiguous, all the loose ends tied together.
It was a word that was familiar to the Colossians – "mystery" and "religion" went hand in hand. They were surrounded with "mystery religions" in which the uninitiated were enticed with promises of secrets revealed and passwords and formulas and incantations taught that would usher them into a higher state of enlightenment.
But there was a significant distinction between the "mystery religions" and Christianity. Their mysteries, when revealed, were like Al Capone's vault – empty and valueless – a lot of hype over nothing. But when God reveals a mystery, it's not just to the few select adherents, it's to all of creation. And it's not a meaningless piece of trivia, but the most important information you will ever receive.
The mystery of which Paul speaks was hidden for ages and generations – Peter wrote, "the prophets searched intently and with the greatest care trying to find out the time and circumstances" and "even angels longed to look into these things."
There are some things beyond the knowing of men, beyond the wisdom and knowledge of philosophies, beyond the investigation of science – beyond anybody's ability to grasp or define.
But in one defining moment in time, God took the wraps off and revealed this long hidden mystery. The mystery? Christ crucified and resurrected. The significance of the revealing of this mystery (Paul calls it "the glorious riches of this mystery")? "Christ in you."
And your reaction to this revelation? "That's it? That's all?" And though you're so familiar with it that it doesn't come as any surprise, in the first century world, it was mind-boggling. From John 1, where John says that though "he was in the world, and the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him" to 1 Cor. 1, where Paul writes, "the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing."
You see, what Paul is saying when he says "Christ in you" is so profound and significant that it changes everything. He is saying that God is not distant and far off, impersonal and unconcerned. He is declaring that God knows us and cares for us personally – it is an intimate relationship – we are precious to God. And that, what is so mind-boggling, is that this Jesus whom he had just described as "the image of the invisible God" and "the creator of all things" – he lives in us.
I hope that you're also gathering here that when Paul talks about mystery, that it's more than just waking up on Christmas morning to find out what Santa's brought you. It's more significant than just discovering what the secret to the "secret sauce" is on a Big Mac.
The revealed mystery is the cornerstone to life – it is the reason for existence. Paul uses a lot of that kind of language in this passage – "for the sake of … to present to you … so that … to this end… my purpose … in order that …."
And if that's not enough, Paul lets us know the lengths to which he has been willing to go to deliver this revealed mystery to every person who would listen:
Vs. 24 – "I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions"
Vs. 29 – "To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me."
Vs. 2:1 – "I want you to know how much I am struggling for you…"
A couple of notes on what Paul just said: verse 24 – what was lacking in Christ's afflictions? Was there something missing from the atonement? Something inadequate about our salvation?
Let me assure you that your salvation is intact – that Christ didn't forget something that Paul had to come along and remedy. It's not that his suffering was inadequate, it is that it is incomplete until we share in it. A couple of clarifying verses:
Rom. 8:17 – "Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."
Phil. 3:10 – "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead."
1 Peter 2:21 – "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps."
As long as the suffering of Christ remains an impersonal, distant historical event – we will never value it. We might appreciate it, but we cannot value it until we have ourselves shared in it and experienced it and participated in it. It is only when our faith costs us something that we begin to sense the depth of the cost which Christ paid for our salvation.
And lest you think that Paul is bragging about what he has done, he assures us it is not his strength or power, but "with all his energy [i.e., God's energy], which so powerfully works in me" (vs. 29).
Is the payoff worth it? You tell me. In vs. 28, Paul said his goal was to "present everyone perfect in Christ." In 2:2 he said his purpose was that "they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding."
Listen to the blessings Paul sees coming from receiving the grace of God through the good news of Jesus Christ:
You are perfect in Christ,
You are encouraged in heart
You are united in love
You receive the full riches of complete understanding
(finally and most important) Christ is in you.
Verse 5 ended with an admonition to be firm in their faith – but firm in the faith doesn't mean dead in your tracks. Faith is not a position to hold, but a life to live.
Verse 6 takes us forward:
Paul says, if the mystery revealed is that Christ is living in you, then you must "continue to live in him."
And what does it mean to "live in him"? It means you are
"rooted and built up in him," that you are "strengthened in the faith as you were taught," and that you are "overflowing with thankfulness."
Our faith must have strong roots, and from those roots we grow and are built up in him. We become strong – not by abandoning our faith, but by going back again and again to the source of our faith. Some were suggesting that the Christians in Colossae grow out of their simple faith to something more sophisticated. But that's not what Paul is saying. He is saying we need to continue to build upon the fundamentals, continue to grow up, healthy and fruitful.
There are similar calls to those early Christians to hold on to the faith they were taught – Paul to the Galatians: "I am astonished that you are so quickly abandoning your faith", Jude writes: "I urge you to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints."
The faith of the Christians in Colossae is under attack. The attack is coming in the form of religious alternatives and substitutions and compromises. We might be tempted to look at this conflict as a mere debate over ideas, but Paul couches this conflict in the language of warfare – vs. 8 "let no one take you captive" / vs. 15 "having disarmed the powers… triumphing over them…" He uses other conflict language – vs. 16 "Do not let anyone judge you…" / vs. 18 "don't let anyone disqualify you for the prize."
Who is it that presents such a great danger to their faith? What is the nature of this teaching that threatened the church? It was especially dangerous because it looked so innocent – even godly – from the outside. They taught things that seemed to make sense and often couched their teaching in Christian language. It's easy to imagine that these Christians listened to what these teachers had to say, and thought, "What's the harm in that?" More than that, these teachings just seemed more "religious." But as Paul wrote to Timothy, they "have a form of godliness, but deny its power."
Here in ch. 2, Paul presents the defining characteristics of what has often been called the Colossian heresy – the brand of false teaching that threatened the church and the faith of the Christians in Colossae.
8 – hollow and deceptive philosophy
8 – depends on human tradition
8 – basic principles of the world
16 – judged on the basis of what you eat and drink, keeping religious festivals, new moon celebrations and Sabbaths
18/23 – false humility
18 – emphasizes the worship of angels
18 – great emphasis on experiential – visions
18 – unspiritual minds puff up with idle notions
21 – filled with rules – "do not handle, taste, touch"
22 – based on human commands and teachings
23 – has the appearance of wisdom
23 – self-imposed worship
23 – demands the harsh treatment of the body
Paul makes it clear again and again that what characterizes these different teachings and philosophies is that they are absolutely bankrupt and incapable of making anyone more spiritual or closer to God.
They are hollow, deceptive, based on human tradition, a shadow of reality, false humility, they are unspiritual, puffed up, idle notions, destined to perish, they have the appearance of wisdom, self-imposed worship, and they lack any value.
Paul literally says, "why would you waste your time?"
Beyond its bankruptcy, he puts it in stark contrast with true faith in God.
8 - "basic principles of this world, rather than Christ"
17 - "shadow of things to come… the reality is in Christ"
19 - "it has lost connection with the Head…"
In verses 9 – 23, Paul defines three basic issues for Christians – how you can know you are standing on solid ground and how can you defend yourself against these false teachings?:
What you believe
How you live
How you are saved
Christ is not a lesser god – an emanation in a complex hierarchy. Paul writes in vs. 9 "for in Christ all the fullness of deity lives." In vs. 10 "he is the head over every power and authority." In 1:15 "he is the image of the invisible God."
Christ will not take his place among the pantheon of gods, ancient or modern day. Christianity is not simply another philosophy. What we believe about Christ is important – bad theology creates bad living.
One of the things Paul contrasts with Christ is "the basic principles of the world" (vss. 8,20) – the abc's of this world. Are you living by the world's rules and agenda?
Real life isn't going to be found in asceticism (denying yourself) – nor is it going to be found in materialism and hedonism (indulging yourself). Both extremes keep us from seeing God. Both those extremes were characteristic of these "mystery religions." The reason is that they focus on self (they create "false humility," "puffed up egos," "appearance of wisdom") – the bottom line, Paul says is, "they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." In other words, after all your best intentions and efforts, you will still find yourself lost in sin and hopeless without Christ.
Real life is going to be found in Christ:
10 – you have been given fullness in Christ
13 – you have been made alive in Christ
17 – the reality is found in Christ
How You Are Saved
These false teachers would have us believe that salvation is found in what we do – our self-imposed harsh treatment of the body, the correct attention to religious days and rituals, to the keeping of food regulations and restrictive rules.
But Paul sums them up with these words – "human traditions, human commands, human teachings." They may look good on the outside, they may have an appearance of spirituality and wisdom, but they are spiritually bankrupt, incapable of saving us.
Our salvation is to be found in Christ and Christ alone – you have "been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead." (Col 2:12).
And because of that, our sins are forgiven – "When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." (Col 2:13-15)
He uses dramatic language. He communicates just how powerful our Savior is. We are not dealing with mere philosophies and human inadequacies, we are dealing with the God of all creation. It is this God who calls us to be rooted in Christ, grow in Christ, be strengthened in faith, and continue to live in him.
The most powerful thing I get out of this passage is Paul's encouragement to keep on growing. How do you do that when you're being attacked and enticed from every side? You make sure your roots are planted deep in God's word. You keep surrounding yourself with the nurture of God's people. You keep reaching up for Christ in worship and praise and prayer, and overflowing with thanksgiving.
Avoid the enticements of the world – turn a deaf ear to the so-called "wisdom" of those who tell you they've got a better way – don't buy into the spirituality of those who make promises of God's love based on the things you don't do.
Let Christ be your fullness. He is everything you need – nothing more, nothing less.
