Howard Glazer, Ph.D.
Dr. Glazer's sEMG assessment protocol offers insight into lower urogenital
and gastro-intestinal disorders where pelvic floor musculature is involved.
The Glazer assessment protocol consists of voluntary muscle contractions, with
intervening rest periods. The entire muscle evaluation process takes approximately
seven minutes and the procedure is painless. After this preliminary evaluation,
a home exercise program is developed. Throughout its duration, the patient is
encouraged to visit their health provider for progress monitoring, for re-evaluation
and, if necessary, for exercise modification. This suite is useful for psychiatrists,
psychologists, physical therapists, gynecologists, sex therapists and other
medical practitioners who treat urological, sexual, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Meet two women who will marry you (maybe)By Claire Zulkey
Meet two women who will marry you (maybe)By Claire Zulkey
Tomorrow night, come see me with the Kates, won't you?
This summer two girlfriends of mine have been very busy doing something that not most of my girlfriends do: perform weddings for other people. Erica Reid Gerdes is a local performer and choreographer who not only officiates weddings but also has choreographed a few first dances in her lifetime. Bex Schwartz is a writer, director and performer in New York who, in addition to performing weddings in the past, this summer worked with a group of people to organize a "pop-up chapel" to marry two dozen same-sex couples in one weekend in Central Park. I just wanted to ask my friends what it's like to officiate weddings in their free time.
How did you start performing weddings?
Erica: My "Friend Cousin" Chad, who is my step second cousin and a dear friend, got engaged to his longtime girlfriend. One day he called, and was like, "call me back--it's important," so I knew that it was. (We generally just leave really long voicemails for each other.) And when I finally was able to track him down, he told me of the engagement and asked if I would perform the ceremony. It was such an honor. I got ordained and it was the shortest wedding in history. From there, when people find out that my husband, Fuzzy, and I are ordained, it always makes people say things like, "really???? Hmmmm," and I know their wheels are turning. Over the span of a couple years, I was asked to perform the weddings of 3 more couples (one with my husband--we did it jointly), all of which got married between April and August this year.
Bex: I was ordained in 2006 because I was entertained by the idea of being a raised-Jewish-atheist who was also a minister. When my best friend was making plans to marry the man who is now her husband, they couldn't find an officiant who satisfied their "Jewnitarian" requests and after interviewing several other clergypeople, they asked me if I would perform their ceremony, which sort of worked out delightfully since they met when I brought the eventual-bride to a work-related party and the eventual-groom was there.
How difficult was the process of getting certified to ordain weddings?
Erica: Easy peasy. Through the Universal Life Church.
Bex: It is a piece of the cake, as they say! You go to the ULC's site and click a few buttons, and, bam, you are ordained. If you want to perform weddings in NYC, you need to register with the City Clerk's office as an officiant. You just need to get the ULC's NYC Marriage packet which has all the paperwork you need, and fill out the forms with the city of NY. The you go down to the City Clerk's office and exchange all the forms and then they bring out a giant book and you get to sign it. And then you start to get mail like credit card offers addressed to you as Reverend Schwartz!
What's the furthest you've traveled to performing a wedding?
Erica: Biloxi, Miss., on the coast.
Bex: The longest I've traveled was up to the Finger Lakes. It was a 6 hour car ride, I think, with my little brother and my dad and his girlfriend, all of whom were attending the wedding I was officiating. (A close family friend asked me to perform her wedding and of course I said yes, and then of course my entire family was also invited.)
Why do you think people ask you to performing weddings?
Bex: I'm superduper secular but I have a strong background in Judaism (I can speak Hebrew if you'd like) and I've also studied Tibetan Buddhism pretty extensively, and I use the word "Universe" in place of God or god or whatever, and I love performing in front of large crowds and I'm pretty easy-going and sometimes I make jokes, so if you want a wedding ceremony that possibly includes Hebrew and might make people laugh (in a good way) and isn't all about a Higher Power or what-have-you, I'm your girl.
Erica: I have some really really amazing friendships, and I am honored that some of them have asked me to be a part of their ceremony. I think I am a good listener and can stay pretty calm in stressful situations, so I am a good candidate for it. I think it is special to have a loved one perform such a sacred act--my husband and I had a friend write and perform our ceremony as well, and it added a whole level of comfort to the day, knowing that we were in good hands. I think that must be why. That, or they love seeing my gap teeth up close.
What do you typically discuss with couples prior to marrying them?
Bex: I talk to the couples about what aspects from their religious or cultural backgrounds they may want to include. We go over sample ceremonies from their respective faiths and figure out what's significant to them and and their families. We also discuss the tone of the ceremony, and any stories or anecdotes they want their guests to hear about themselves as a couple, if there are any special stories about their rings or their chuppah or that sort of thing, and I often assign them homework to complete independently of each other -- I'll ask the groom to write what he loves about the bride, and vice versa, so I can surprise them with that during there ceremony and make them cry (in a good way).
Erica: I ask what type of wedding they want to have: quirky, traditional, long, short, family related or not, religious, secular, readings, songs, etc. Then what is important to them. If they want to write their own vows. We talk about how they relate to each other and how they communicate and function as a couple, and that helps with the meat of the ceremony (but I've known all these couples really well, so I've spoke mainly from my experiences around them). Then from there, I will do an outline and a rough draft of the wedding ceremony and we build upon it.
What's the most challenging part of preparing for a ceremony?
Bex: The most challenging part of the ceremony is scripting it so it is truly unique and representative of the couple. Every couple is different and deserves their own special language and I need to make sure their ceremonies make them happy. (And work with my own set of beliefs. I'm not comfortable getting all religious - no sermons from me!)
Erica: Writing the ceremony is rough, 'cause you want it to be special to each couple, and when I send it off for approval, I think that is the most nervewracking part--what if they hate it?! I get nervous if/when they send revisions. Also, a lot of times, we've been sort of the event planner/ stage managers, so it's a lot of keep track of. A lot of running around and making sure everyone is ok. But I've gotten married and know what it is like in their shoes, so I don't mind at all. I love it.
What's your favorite part of the wedding ceremony?
Erica: Definitely the vows. That's when you see unrestrained emotion and love pouring from the couple's faces. So beautiful. It always makes me cry. Also, announcing the couple as married! It's what everyone is there to see, and it means that my job is almost over.
How do you decide what to wear?
Bex: I normally wear a black dress and I try not to be too boobtastic! If I'm doing a wedding that's Jewy, I will wear a tallis (my Bat Mitzvah tallis, no less) and once I even wore a hot pink yarmulke studded with rhinestones! If I'm doing a Christian-ish wedding, I have a red stole that Universal Life Church gave me for Pop Up Chapel so I'll wear that.
Erica: This is a hard one! I have a special problem cause I can't wear shoes without socks, but yet sometimes I want to wear a dress. So footwear is the issue for me, and I build the outfit around that. But also, you can't wear white, you don't want to clash with their wedding colors, but you don't want to not fit in. Generally, I've gone with slacks and a blazer, or a nice dress with shoes I can get away with having sock liners in. For my friend Chad's wedding, like an idiot, I got sunburned the day before, so I had to wear a shawl with my dress that I had picked out. We were on the coast, so we were outside at the beach all day. What made it worse, of course, I was only sunburned on one side of my body--I protected my tattooed arm side with sunscreen and didn't think about the other one. Sheesh. I also ask if the couple and their families are ok with my tattoos. I try to be respectful if they don't approve, but if that adds a quirk factor they want, then I let them show. Also, you don't want to show too much boob (as Bex said.)
I would never ask you to pick a favorite wedding, but what have been some of your favorite moments of weddings you've overseen?
Erica: Definitely, when Kate referenced Jay-Z's "99 Problems" in her wedding vows. It was hilarious and so sweet. But basically anything that makes the wedding special and unique to that couple is my favorite memory. Each one is special.
Bex: Oh man! So many amazing memories! During my best friend's wedding, we were outside in her backyard and the wind made it impossible for the couple to light their unity candle and we sort of struggled up there for a while and then eventually we all started laughing. I loved that. During my friends Deb and Mark's wedding, we were sort of stalling up on the bimah for a while and I think I made a funny hooting noise when we were ready to go and it broke the tension. I love those little unplanned glitches in the Matrix that sort of make it all feel even more real and personal. And of course, when I was performing weddings at Pop Up Chapel, especially for Jay and John who were together for 37 years and never thought they'd ever be able to be legally married in NYC and I pronounced them "husband and husband" and looked out and saw all their guests and all our volunteers and even the crowd of spectators with tears in their eyes -- I will never forget that moment.

TORONTO — Lilly Zepp a 12-year-old Toronto girl who celebrated her bat mitzvah this past fall, has almost nothing in common with Lily Singer.
Singer, born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1932, never got to celebrate her bat mitzvah.
There's no trace of her or her family after 1944. Her surviving cousin, Henri Levenheck, who now lives in Toronto, only knows that sometime during the Holocaust, they were sent to Auschwitz and never returned.
But the two girls have one important thing that connects them: their first names.
In order to make her bat mitzvah celebration more meaningful, Zepp took part in the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem's twinning program, which matches a bar or bat mitzvah child with a child of the same name or birthday who perished during the Holocaust. She was paired with Lily Singer.
This was also one of the very rare times that a relative of the Holocaust victim actually lives in the same city as his or her twin. So in a special ceremony in Toronto on Oct. 25, Zepp got to meet her twin's cousin, Levenheck, who years ago submitted the names of all of his family members who were killed in the Holocaust to the Yad Vashem database of Holocaust victims.
"It's a rebirth, a good feeling that she's not forgotten," said Levenheck, 84. "If not for me, then nobody would know she existed. Her whole family disappeared. Now, after 70 years, her name is remembered."
Levenheck lived with his parents and two brothers in Strasbourg, France, at the time of the war. His uncle, Lily's father, lived in Budapest. He doesn't know much about what happened to them.
"I don't know the circumstances, but I suppose like many Hungarian Jews, only some survived," he said.
Through programs such as its twinning initiative, the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem ensures that the memories and stories of the Holocaust never die. Since the program's inception more than 20 years ago, dozens of bar- and bat-mitzvah-aged children have been paired, or "twinned" with a child Holocaust victim.
"They're really adopting the name and the memory and most of them are investing a lot of time and doing research on the Yad Vashem data to try and find out more information about the girl or boy they adopted," said Yaron Ashkenazi, executive director of the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem.
"When you're speaking about six million [Jews killed in the Holocaust], it's a very almost unbelievable phenomenon to understand," he said. "But once you're going to a specific person, a specific girl or boy, then it's a completely different story. Suddenly you see a face."
At the emotional ceremony last fall, Levenheck told Zepp about his family's history, and Zepp was presented with a certificate of recognition for participating in this program. Together, they lit a candle in honour of Lily Singer's memory.
"She's the age of what my cousin's granddaughter would be," said Levenheck. "I want them to be remembered by somebody, somewhere."

iPhone buyers have been experiencing trouble activating their iPhones, with delays affecting around 2 per cent of iPhone buyers, according to reports . Apple's exclusive US operator partner, AT&T , is working to fix the problems. AT&T spokesperson Mark Siegel has described the problems as partly technology related and partly process related.
According to Siegel, the large volumes of customers trying to activate their iPhones following Friday's launch contributed to delays. Without activation, iPhones won't operate even the most basic of functions.
A report in the Los Angeles Times today claimed some 525,000 Apple iPhones were sold over the weekend, indicating activation problems affecting thousands of iPhone buyers.
Siegel also blamed other process-related factors for activation problems. One involved people trying to transfer work numbers to iPhone personal accounts - which required AT&T to get approval from corporate telecoms managers.
AT&T has made technical adjustments to address the problems with its overloaded servers, and the situation has now improved, AT&T claims .

Las Vegas – December 2010
Holiday Classic Recap: Unplugged
I know why you're here.
You do?
I know why you hardly sleep and why night after night, you sit by your computer alone. You're looking for it. I know because I was once looking for it too.
Are you talking about free porn sites again?
No, I'm not. The answer is out there and it's looking for you. Are you ready to be unplugged?
What the fuck are you talking about?
You have to understand, most people are not ready to be unplugged. Many of them are so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. I imagine that right about now you're feeling a bit like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole.
I'm a little confused for sure.
I see it in your eyes Waffles. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not too far from the truth. Do you believe in fate?
Why not?
Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
It makes you wonder why we gamble but I know exactly what you mean Waffles. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
That I should buy the fucking dip?
Do you want to know what "the Dip" is?
It seems that you've been living two lives Waffles. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not. Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
I still don't know what the dip is .... so how can I buy it?
The Dip is everywhere. It is all around us, even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when you play poker, or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
What truth? You know I don't own a cell phone because the CIA is trying to control us with them. Texting is for sheep.
I'm not talking about the CIA but you are a slave, Waffles. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you can not smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind.
Huh? I just want to know what the dip is you pothead.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what "the Dip" is. You have to see it for yourself. To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human. This is your last chance Waffles. After this, there is no turning back.
You're one crazy motherfucker but I like that about you.
I'm trying to free your mind, Waffles. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.
Let's do it.
You take the blue pill, the story ends, you awake in your bed where Miami Don may or may not anally rape you BUT you'll believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland with me and Dr. Pauly, and we show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
As Waffles reaches for the red pill, I remind him that all we're offering is the truth, nothing more.
I know Kung Fu.
That's nothing Waffles. I can dodge bullets baby.
Buy the fucking dip!!!

Memorable Moments, Random Thoughts and the lowdown
As per my usual pre-flight routine, I woke up at 5am for my 10am flight so I could get high. Wake and bake baby!
The Black Bear diner rules! I ate scrambled eggs and sausages on biscuits with gravy smothered over it. I also ate some big ass potatoes on the side.
I had a $100 bounty on my head for the Aria blogger tourney….thanks to Otis and Pokerstars!
Drizz got cut off at the Sherwood Forest Bar. That would never happen at the Geisha bar.
I had a great starting table during the blogger tourney. I sat with Waffles, Russ Fox, Katkin, Kat, Grubby, Dr. Jeff and BrianMC.
Grubby was to my left for a couple hours and I had a great time catching up with him. We also got a chance to play against each other in a couple of pots. To quote Grubby, "One time we kept staring at each other like we were in love, only to realize that he had checked and he was waiting for my action."
I got high with three bloggers I never knew smoked weed.
I spent a lot of time hanging out with Pablo, Iggy, Stb, Pauly, Gracie and Kat. Good times.
The Kobe beef burger at the Burger bar ruled!! I crushed it.
The Burger Palace at the IP still sucks.
The Geisha bar still rocks!
The Surly Poker Gnome is one cagey mofo!!
I had a big lunch at the Mirage's Carnegie Deli with Pauly and Stb. Stb crushed the Woody Allen sandwich. Most people can't even eat a half of it in one sitting but Stb did. He finished the second half Homer Simpson style later that night.
Mixed games and drinking at the MGM!
Who doesn't like a hit from the Volcano?
Late night….Krispy kreme rules! Al Can't Hang and I crushed a ton of those donuts.
Pauly and I saw some drunk guy propose to his girlfriend on the bridge while walking over to the Excalibur.
The Excalibur has a black jack Party pit with a stripper pole and hot dancers. Holla!!!
Team 420 Allstars played like shit at the Aria tourney but at least we got cool hats!!
Our little sister Mo crushed her huge Chorizo breakfast at the Hash House before the above picture was taken.
Bernard at Aria makes some killer Mojitos according to Mo and Pablo.
Thanks to Al Can't Hang and Full Tilt for comping our bill at the sportsbook.
I lost my Cincinnati Bengals bet this year at the sportbook but I won betting on the New York Knicks!!! It's been years since I bet on a Knicks game. After Pauly and I put our bets in, the IP sportsbook upped their line by a 1/2 point! Amare Stoudamire rules!!! Fuck Lebron James and Go Knicks!!
El Falstaffo to the rescue!
Joe Speaker is the man!! I love that guy....in a very heterosexual way.
Good times catching up with Garth and Gretchen. I laughed when Garth told me he needed to lose weight. I thought he needed to put on weight by what do I know, I'm a stupid American that loves to supersize everything.
Finally, I got to hang out with all of G-Vegas at once. It's been awhile since Otis, Badblood, GRob, CJ, and the Mark where in one place at the same time as me. It was also great hanging with Dr. Jeff, Chilly and Marty.
Some old asian lady who was a cashier at the IP store was busting Stb's balls because the Cowboys lost to the Eagles.
Someone asked me if Pauly had change of one hundred with him? I replied, "Not in fifties but probably in twenties." I'm an idiot because the person was really asking where Change100 was.
Bayne and Stb went on a craps heater. Stb also crushed the Pai gow tables that night.
I walked into Bill's smoke shop and they didn't sell any cigarettes. It was mostly bongs and other smoking paraphernalia and for some reason I was completely bummed out. What's happening to me?
Gotta love old lady porn slappers!!
Congrats to Miami Don for winning the Aria blogger tourney!
Pauly, Stb and I were in a cab when we heard the dispatcher mention over the radio that there was a new fare at the Budget Suites. Her name was Jen and she needed to go to work at Hustler asap. Jen by day ... Sable by night.
Sweet sweet Pablo and Sweet Sweet Gracie rule!! I love those peeps.
I was super bummed to not see G-Money, Human Head & Mrs. Head, Change100, Bobby Bracelet, Daddy, Jaxia, Donkeypuncher, Mr. & Mrs. Spaceman, the Fat Guy, Maudie, the Rooster, GCox, et al. I wish they all came out to Las Vegas this year. You were all missed.
Viva los Grubby y Grubette!!
Las Vegas toilets 7 Derek 0. I tried but my bowel movements don't pack the same punch they used to after I lost 49 pounds.
Two words I did NOT hear this trip: Dick Bro.
I was pretty bummed about not getting to play Working or Not Working with G-Money? Until next year bro. Get your bitch ass to the Casino Royale damnit!!
Tradition: Drinking at the Geisha bar and the MGM sports book.
Rule #20.
No trips to the strip club for me. Sorry PKPNF but I just couldn't support the local economy and single moms this time.
I didn't see too many working girls but I saw a lot of hoes.
Getting another chance to be in the presence of Sir AlCan'tHang. Truly honored as always.
Sports book Sunday rocked. Lots of food, lots of booze and lots of gambling. Fade Waffles' picks!
Ass grabbing & boob grabbing. Thanks Kat!!
Chaka no like sleep.
12 packs of cigarettes in 4 days. Dirty dozen.
Chaka no like crystal meth.
Nice catch trout.
ABC. Always. Be. Closing.

Pauly kept joking with Stb and Waffles that they were narcs. Could you speak into the microphone please.
There's a beer bust at the moon tower.
Holy Water + Maui Wowie + Herojuana = Heaven
Watched Skinny GRob clean up betting on the Kentucky basketball game.
The private skybox at Emeril Lagasse's Stadium/Sportsbook at the Palazzo rocked. We had a private room again with a pool table, a bunch of TVs, a video game machine AND we got the outside porch this time so we could smoke while watching the outside TVs that were there. Fucking awesome!!!
And for the second year in a row, a Las Vegas casino got robbed of over $1mil the day I left town.

7 - the # of times we had to tell the dealer at the MGM that the O in HORSE was Omaha Hi-Low not Omaha High. The floor manager tried to tell Pablo that they were right and we were wrong because he was in town for 35 years and knew better than us. What a fucking joke! Pablo googled HORSE on his blackberry to show the floor manager that he was a fucking idiot!!
6 - the # of times per hour I was asked why I didn't have a twitter or facebook account. Isn't a poker blog gay enough people?
5 - the # of times I heard someone compliment GRob's hair AND his physique. His hair is legendary and now his body is rock hard.
4 - the # of times I put my face in Kat's breasts without getting slapped. Yes I can!!! Who else is next ladies?
3- the max # of free drinks per hour that the Excalibur's Sherwood Forest Bar would give Drizz for playing video poker. He was not pleased so he walked off in shame and donked off some money at the slots machine and craps table. Talk about a bad beat. At least he got a free Krispy Kreme donut out of it. Viva las Vegas!!
2 - the # of times Stb's chants of "No Whammies!!" while playing a Press Your Luck Big Bucks slot machine scared a cocktail waitress walking by. Stb went on a heater and crushed that game. He cashed out up but he had to wash the old lady urine stains off his pants the next day. Those slot seats are gross.
1 - the # of times a female TSA agent grabbed my cock. I got a half boner for sure. I wonder if she licks balls too?
0 - the # of hookers that talked to me in the 4 days I was in Las Vegas. Either the casino security is getting tougher or I lost so much weight that I don't look desperate anymore.
Smoke the herb, save the world.
Happy Holidays everyone!!!
Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Value Added Battery Information
AAA NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) batteries are 1.2 Volt rechargeable batteries and are perfect for low drain applications (that is to say, devices that are not power-hungry).
NiCd chemistry offers approximately 500 charge cycles, (life cycles or charge times) which makes them a worthwhile and popular alternative to less expensive, (although non rechargeable), Alkaline batteries.
They are in fact, direct replacements for Alkaline batteries of the same size.
As NiCd batteries are rechargeable batteries, something important to keep in mind when choosing any size NiCd, is that this type of chemistry is susceptible to experiencing what is known as the �memory effect�. Memory effect (also known as battery memory) happens when a NiCd battery is not fully drained of power before being recharged. If it�s recharged prior to a depleted power state, (prior to being �dead�), the recharging process only �tops off� whatever power is missing and this then, becomes the new, total capacity of the battery. You will be able to have approximately 500 FULL charge cycles on a NiCd battery, if you recharge it only when it is completely empty.
To be sure of if there is any power remaining in your NiCd batteries before you recharge them, it�s best to own a Battery Tester. This inexpensive and handy gadget will prove to be invaluable to you, in determining when your batteries are truly depleted. In this way, you will not subject your NiCd�s to memory effect and will benefit from the full power of each life cycle that the manufacturer intended. And if this is your first time shopping for NiCd batteries, let us point you to a good quality Battery Charger.
What better ways than that to protect your NiCd battery investment than with the use of a battery tester and a quality charger?
Another point to be aware of is that Nickel Cadmium batteries have a low self-discharge rate, which is good as this means that while the batteries are idle on the shelf, (not in use), they will discharge much more slowly.
If you have any questions about Rechargeable Batteries prior to purchasing them, please give us a call Toll-Free or Email us and we'll be glad to answer your technical questions promptly and accurately!

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, mixed quality grain, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. There are further named meat ingredients 9th and 11th on the ingredient list, but these are too far down to make any significant contribution to the overall meat content of the food.
With 5 grain products amongst the primary ingredients, this food appears to be quite heavy in grain and our confidence that it may contain an adequate amount of meat is not high. Rice and sorghum are decent quality grains, but rice flour (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value in dog food products. It is also commonly associated with food allergies.
Beet pulp is a controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
The product contains a good range of probiotics. We note the inclusion of synthetic vitamin K, a substance alleged by some to be linked to liver problems and which is progressively being removed from better quality products.

The finale of The Ultimate Catch ended last night with Chad Ochocinco throwing us for a loop by actually picking one of the finalists, contrary to the rumors that he didn't pick anyone.
The lucky Mrs. Ochocinco ended up being Rubi Pazmino, which came as no surprise considering she was his #1 pick from the start.
The shocker however is the fact that Chad and Rubi are still together! In a new interview with VH1, Rubi discusses how she and Chad are making things work, talks about her singing career, and also addresses the rumors that Chad is dating Basketball Wives' Evelyn Lozada.
Excerpts from Rubi's interview below –
What has it been like since the show? Is this, in fact, for real? Have you been pursuing something with Chad?
Yes. We've definitely been talking. We talk all the time, everyday. And we definitely have an amazing connection. I don't know if I'm allowed to say, but we do get to see each other and it's been way more intimate and way more real since the show because you don't have all these other women getting in the way. You get to have real conversations. There's no stress, no time limits. There's a lot of a possibility.
What do you make of the rumor that he's dating Basketball Wives' Evelyn?
Even while we were on the show a lot of girls were saying he was with her. There have always been rumors. It wasn't a huge shock to me when I heard that it was out there in the media. But just like with anybody, when you hear a rumor you just ask like, "Hey what's going on?" I asked him about it. He said Evelyn's a friend of his, they didn't have anything and they're friends. And that's all. If someone tells you something, you just have to believe them. I'm not gonna sit there and ask him every two seconds. I asked him once and he answered it and that's enough.
Was your career as a singer ever a consideration for signing up for the show?
You always think about your career, wondering if a given situation is gonna be a negative or a positive. I wondered, "Hey is this gonna be something that's bad for what I do?" Obviously that's a no. I'd be a super lazy person not to take advantage of the things I'm reaping now because of the show. It'd be dumb. And what I do of course depends on fan base and popularity and if this helps it, great. And Chad absolutely has no problem with it.
Would you go as far as to call it love?
I think love is a super strong word. Do we have the material and the hard work to make it to love? Yes. I think we definitely have the material to get there. But should we say love love love as of right now? I don't know. It's a love. Like I luv him, like L-U-V. He probably feels the same way about me. But we definitely have the potential to be able to get there.
Rubi might be in for some bumps in this relationship as one of the show's contestants, Heather, gave an interview to Bossip, during which she claimed Chad was still trying to hook up with her after eliminating her on the show. Heather also alleged Chad was still calling his former Dancing With The Stars partner Cheryl Burke, and sending her gifts while filming the show.
You can follow Rubi on her twitter page here.

Here is the meeting summary from May 24, 2011.
13 Scientifically Proven Health Benefits Of Exercise
Written by C. Simmons of HealthAssist.net
We've all heard it before, "Exercise is good for you because...."
Nowadays you can't check out at the grocery store or do much of anything without being reminded that us mortal humans need to exercise. Still, we persist, procrastinate and eventually complain that we're overweight, sick, dying, etc.
Listen. Some exercise is better than none, more exercise is generally better than less, and no exercise can be disastrous. No one is asking for you to start a rigorous daily regimen, just do something. If you need motivation, here is a list of scientifically proven health benefits that regular exercise brings.
• Longevity. People who are physically active live longer. According to a 20 year follow-up study, regular exercise reduces the risk of dying prematurely.
• New brain cell development, improved cognition and memory. Exercise stimulates the formation of new brain cells. Researchers found that the areas of the brain that are stimulated through exercise are responsible for memory and learning. For instance, older adults who engage in regular physical activity have better performances in tests implying decision-making process, memory and problem solving.
• Improved sexual function and better sex life. Regular exercise maintains or improves sex life. Physical improvements in muscle strength and tone, endurance, body composition and cardiovascular function can all enhance sexual functioning in both men and women. Researchers revealed that men who exercise regularly are less likely to have erectile dysfunction and impotence than are men who don't exercise.
• Exercise is a powerful antidepressant. Study after study has shown that exercise promotes mental health and reduces symptoms of depression. The antidepressant effect of regular physical exercise is comparable to the potent antidepressants like Zoloft. It may take at least 30 minutes of exercise a day for at least three to five days a week to significantly improve symptoms of depression.
• Cardiovascular health. Lack of physical activity is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Regular exercising makes your heart, like any other muscle, stronger. A stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort.
• Cholesterol lowering effect. Exercise itself does not burn off cholesterol like it does with fat, however, exercise favorably influences blood cholesterol levels by decreasing LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides and total cholesterol and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol.
• Prevention and control of diabetes. There is strong evidence from high quality studies (e.g. Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study) that moderate physical activity combined with weight loss and balanced diet can confer a 50-60% reduction in risk of developing diabetes.
• Blood pressure lowering. The way in which exercise can cause a reduction in blood pressure is unclear, but all forms of exercise seem to be effective in reducing blood pressure. Aerobic exercise appears to have a slightly greater effect on blood pressure in hypertensive individuals than in individuals without hypertension.
• Reduced risk of stroke. Research data indicates that moderate and high levels of physical activity may reduce the risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic strokes.
• Weight control. Regular exercise helps to reach and maintain a healthy weight. If you take in more calories than needed in a day, exercise offsets a caloric overload and controls body weight. It speeds the rate of energy use, resulting in increased metabolism. When metabolism increases through exercise, you will maintain the faster rate for longer periods of a day.
• Muscle strength. Health studies repeatedly show that strength training increases muscle strength and mass and decreases fat tissue.
• Bone strength. An active lifestyle benefits bone density. Regular weight-bearing exercise promotes bone formation, delays bone loss and may protect against osteoporosis - form of bone loss associated with aging.
• Better night sleep. If you suffer from poor sleep, daily exercise can make the difference. The natural dip in body temperature five to six hours after exercise may help to fall asleep.
Finding the right reasons to start an activity program is more than half the battle.
You've heard it a million times: Consistent, moderate exercise is a key component not just of weight loss, but of good health in general. Being physically active can help reduce your risk for cancer, heart disease and diabetes. It can relieve stress. It can give you the extra energy you long for.
But you already know all this, so why is it still so hard to get out there and move?
Get motivated, get moving
"No time" is a popular excuse, but what it's really about is a lack of motivation. You've probably heard your Leader or other meetings members talking about a powerful solution to this problem called Motivating Strategy from Weight Watchers Tools For Living.
Tools for Living - Motivating Strategy
Motivation, the best way to break through times that are tough, is that surge of energy, that inner oomph inside that inspires you to go for it.
But sometimes, motivation is lacking: Your stamina flags, your willpower wilts. Something is getting in the way, stopping you from giving it your all. You need to use the Motivating Strategy.
Motivating Strategy helps you use your imagination to determine the goals you really want to achieve and then take steps toward them — whether those steps are tracking PointsPlus® values, eating more fruits and vegetables, or exercising.
It works because it connects you with an action's positive results. For example, use Motivating Strategy to find the motivation to be more physically active, and you'll envision what it feels like to be a physically active person — what you look like, the things you get to do and wear, the way you spend your time and relate to others.
These are the Motivating Strategy steps.
1. Imagine yourself having already achieved your goals, and enjoying them.
Visualize the way your Winning Outcome will be experienced, when you achieve it. Use your senses so that you feel how it will feel. Add sounds, smells, movement.
2. Get in touch with the other good feelings that come from having achieved your goals.
3. Remain in touch with these feelings as you get back to doing the things you need to do to reach your goal.
Once you're motivated to be more active, it's time to take those crucial first steps.
Here are some tips for getting started:
1. Choose activities that you actually enjoy. You're not likely to keep up any exercise you dread doing. If you try one exercise and do not like it, please don't give up. You have so many options available, just move on to something else…. Didn't like zumba? Try yoga or Pilates instead.
2. Start small and work your way up by increasing your intensity or the amount of time you spend doing the activity.
3. Think about the season. Now that it's summer, how can you take advantage of the nice weather?
4. Buddy up. Do you have any friends or family members who are also trying to get fit? Can you do an activity together?
At your next meeting, ask the friends around you what they did to first add activity to their lives.
This week really focus on at least getting in 10 minutes of activity each day. We can all make room for 10 minutes to reap the many benefits of exercise.

Reds win first game of season 5-4
Phillips, Votto lead Cincinnati to win
Brandon Phillips hit a three-run homer in his new role as Cincinnati's cleanup hitter, and Joey Votto drove in the winning run with a ninth-inning single Wednesday night, rallying the Reds to a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
They've split the first two games of the first interleague series to open a season.
Votto's first hit of the season off left-hander Scott Downs (0-1) deflected off the glove of first baseman Albert Pujols and rolled into the outfield, allowing Shin-Soo Choo to score from second base. Choo reached when he was hit by a pitch and advanced on a sacrifice.
Votto had been 0 for 6 heading into the decisive at-bat.
Phillips moved into the cleanup spot because of Ryan Ludwick's injury and hit the Reds' first homer of the season. He connected for a three-run shot against C.J. Wilson in the fourth inning, when Cincinnati sent nine batters to the plate for four runs.
Left-hander Aroldis Chapman (1-0) walked one in the ninth, throwing a 99 mph pitch that hit the backstop screen.
Mat Latos, who took the loss in the deciding Game 5 of Cincinnati's playoff series against San Francisco last season, left with a 4-3 lead in the seventh. He gave up a solo homer by Howie Kendrick, and a two-run shot by Alberto Callaspo on his 100th and final pitch.
The Angels tied it with the help of third baseman Todd Frazier's error in the eighth, pulling even on Mark Trumbo's run-scoring groundout.
The Reds had to juggle their lineup for the second game of the season, and it's not going back anytime soon.
Ludwick had surgery on Wednesday to repair torn cartilage in his right shoulder, injured on a slide on opening day. He's expected to miss at least three months.
Phillips moved from second in the batting order into Ludwick's cleanup spot, where he'll stay for the foreseeable future. Reserve outfielder Chris Heisey becomes the everyday left fielder while Ludwick recuperates.
The new lineup had one very good inning.
Heisey walked in the fourth inning, and so did Votto. Phillips, who flied out to the warning track in his first at-bat, then homered for a 3-0 lead. It was a breakthrough for the Reds, who managed only three hits and one run - on a wild pitch - during a 3-1, 13-inning loss on opening day.
Jay Bruce followed with a double and scored on Todd Frazier's single.
Latos was on his game at the outset Wednesday, fanning seven in the first five innings. Once again, the bottom of the Angels' order produced the most.
The Angels' power hitters have failed to connect. Pujols is 0 for 7 with two strikeouts. Josh Hamilton - signed for $125 million in the offseason - is 0 for 8 with three strikeouts.
The Angels have struck out 27 times in the first two games. They fanned 17 times in the opener.

Traditional cave dwellings in China, often referred as Yaodong, have been passed down from generations as they have proven to be superior in harsh environments particular to Inner Mongolia. Their unique typology has protected generations from the harsh tundra climate and the burning summers by providing thermal performance superior to those that reside on the surface. Likewise, local fauna has evolved to reside below the surface to survive, such as the Mongolian toad, or as Mongolians refer it, guroot, which is known to hibernate through the winter in 1-2 meter deep holes.
Inner Mongolia has had a long tradition of tribesmen dependant on nomadic lifestyles moving their herds in search for better grasslands and campsites. Even today, a large percentage of Mongolians still subside in the steppes and follow a nomadic lifestyle. Today we find ourselves in a world of increased mobility in which transportation networks permit endless possibilities of travel for work, living, and pleasure we remain connected. In this new real of mobile populations, merchandise, and in formation, a new breed of nomads arises, dependant on the environments they travel much like the traditional nomads.
Gimme Shelter moves away from the temporality of nomadism but maintains the underlying principal of nomadic dwellings; which is to shelter from detrimental climatic conditions. The Villa responds not only to site specificity but attempts to provide a unique shelter for the modern nomad. Cues have been abstracted from sand-dune morphology and generation into the formal expression of the villa. Gimme Shelter submerges itself into the landscape, providing warmth through the winter and cool air during the summer.

Since Help a PR Pro Out day is today I thought I would write a brief description of what makes me a great hire.
I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2008 in Communications Technology and have been working hard learning the field of Public Relations and communications since then.
My desire has always been to work in the communications industry. I have found social media to be my niche. I have worked for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society where I managed to form a partnership with Yelp. The time I spent there was constructive and I also had photos donated by General Motors and Wayne State University for invitations to the Leukemia Ball.
Since then I have built a community for FWIX, wrote proposals for projects which I bid on in my freelance work. I have been an avid participant and volunteer in Detroit. I have worked Module 09, Brand Camp U 09, TIE Midwest Conference and invited to Ted x Detroit and am going to be working Ignite Detroit and Future Midwest 10. I was also the Champion for Detroit in the live event for #journchat this past August.
Why should you hire me?
1. Relationships are key and I have excellent interpersonal skills.
2. Able to cultivate new ideas and fresh outlook on life.
3. I am social media savvy and realize an integrated communications strategy will help solve some of the current problems.
4. Loves hockey, Detroit Red Wings, Team USA and everything involved with it.
5. Believes in Detroit but am willing to relocate to New York, Chicago, D.C. or San Fransisco.
6. Loves research and bookmarking so I could save you money by having some research done already!
7. I am looking for more of an entry level marketing position but I believe PR and marketing go hand in hand.
8. Have worked with a start up and a non profit organization. So I am capable of working in any kind of environment.
9. Freelancing has taught me about deadlines, creating good content, selling your ideas and various other things which can transfer to a great public relations job.
10. Sports and Entertainment have been in my blood for the past years but technology is my passion. I am driven to work for a growing company which is technology or hockey based and can feed my passion for growth.
Thank you.

Broad Haven North beach, in the centre of the wide embrace of St Bride's Bay, is a total contrast from its namesake, Broad Haven South near Stackpole.
Facing west out towards Grassholm rock, with its massive colony of some 30,000 gannets, it is a relatively flat beach providing extensive shallows which make it ideal for small children, the hot sand warming the incoming tide on sunny summer days.
Its popularity for families has made it a favoured watering place for Haverfordwest in particular, and in the halcyon inter-war years when planning restrictions were virtually unknown, many huts and chalets were built in the fields surrounding the village. Now they have gone and the village has increased in size, with streets of houses to which people commute at the end of the day's work.
A highlight of a holiday here is the mackerel season when small boats often land dozens of fish which can be taken away and cooked for supper.
Although it is generally calm, Broad Haven can provide good surfing, windsurfing and sailing and has the advantage of being a Blue Flag beach, renowned for its clean condition.
It has been a popular resort for a couple of centuries, but its origins were associated with the Pembrokeshire coalfield, which stretches out beneath St Bride's Bay and there are legacies of these workings in the form of a group of collapsed pits just round the corner near Little Haven and coal seams visible high on the cliff face.
On the northern end there are rock pools and a small cave for the children to explore near the distinctive triangular Emmet Rock and the Sleek Stone, and also at adjacent Settlands beach at the southern end. The geology is interesting. At Sleek Stone to the north is a rocky fault in the form of a very tight asymetrical up-fold or monocline, while further north at Black Point there is a vast landslide, still slipping slowly, where the coastal path has had to be diverted. In 1950 one could step across the southern end of the crack, but now it is all cordoned off. For extra safety Broad Haven and adjacent Little Haven share an RNLI inshore lifeboat.
From 1994 to 1996 Broad Haven hosted the Pembrokeshire Coast Triathlon, during which period the prestigious event doubled as the Welsh Championships in 1994 and the British Grand Prix between 1995 and 1996.
Another claim to fame was a series of incidents in the 1970s when the village received international publicity as 'The Broad Haven Triangle' where mysterious sightings of UFOs and space creatures occurred. In February 1977, 14 pupils reported seeing a yellow cigar-shaped craft in a field near the Primary School. The headmaster invited the children to draw what they had seen and was surprised by the similarity of the drawings. A fortnight later some teachers and dinner ladies saw the same craft with a strange creature going into it. Two other sightings of humanoid creatures were seen the following April.

Nine Graduate Students Receive Dean's Graduate Assistantships
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Nine graduate students in the Penn State College of Education have been named recipients of the Dean's Graduate Assistantships for Engaged Scholarship and Research in Education. The recipients include: Joseph Levitan, Jian Liao, Yi "Astrid" Xiao, Liwei Wei, Susan Crandall, Adeline Lebeaux, Jaclyn Dudek, Lochran Fallon, and Joshua Wymore.
Dean's Graduate Assistantships are funded jointly by the College of Education and Penn State's Graduate School. The assistantships support some of the most promising students who are applying for admission to the College's doctoral programs.
Students are considered for the assistantship only after a faculty member nominates them. The College's Committee for Graduate Studies and Research Policies narrows the applicants to the final recipients. Every recipient is funded for the first two years of graduate school with a good possibility to receive any further funding necessary from research projects funded by external sources.
Below you will find brief biographies of this year's recipients:
Joseph Levitan is pursuing a Ph.D. in Educational Theory and Policy. He graduated cum laude and high honors from Brandeis University, earning a B.A. in philosophy. After college, he co-founded and served as director of education and development at the Sacred Valley Project, an international, educational non-governmental organization based in Peru and the United States. He performed needs assessments in rural villages of the Peruvian Andes, helped develop curricula and instruction and worked on institutional evaluation for Sacred Valley. Levitan also taught middle school history and English language arts in Baltimore. During that time he earned an M.A. in international education development and peace education from Columbia University. He wrote his master's thesis on the Common Core State Standards and the role that a pedagogy-oriented philosophy can have in fulfilling guidelines. He is currently working with David Post, professor of education, on a comparative analysis of policy for indigenous language students in Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru as it relates to identity and learning.
Jian Liao is pursuing a Ph.D. in Learning, Design, and Technology. He graduated with a degree in computer science from Southwest University in China. As an intern there, he led a technological team to design and develop an online learning system for the college, which was one of the earliest virtual learning environments online in China. More than 70,000 undergrads are using it to pursue their bachelor degrees. After spending some time there as a faculty member, Liao earned his master's degree in education technology from Beijing Normal University.

Sports fans are history devotees! Nothing brings that home more than the media coverage during the two weeks between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl. Every year Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers roll out to the Super Bowl and fill the media waves with reminisces and reflections. The two teams playing are loaded with tradition and heritage and their particular histories are being picked apart and debated, recalled and rehashed. One team had the coach, Vince Lombardi, for whom the trophy they are fighting over this Sunday was named; the other team has the most Lombardi Trophies of any team in the league!
ESPN hosts a debate about which team, the Dallas Cowboys (hosting the Super Bowl), the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Green Bay Packers, is actually America's Team. Articles and sports shows are dropping Titletown, USA and the City of Champions 100 times a day. NFL Network is running past games and discusses heritage and legacy; the Top Ten series which ranks any number of football games, positions, teams, statistics, milestones, eras, etc., and spans the football ages, is rerunning topical top ten lists to reflect the upcoming battle!
I love both sports and history, so there is nothing better for me than to mix the two. I am fortunate to be teaching a special topics history course, Sports in America, at CCBC (MD) this semester. Check out the class's blog, America's Pastimes Unwound, sportsrewind.wordpress.com, and keep an eye on it throughout the spring!
In the meanwhile enjoy all the tradition, legacy, heritage and history of the NFL as these two titans, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers, with all their lore, continue the Super Bowl tradition while the nation watches in Super Bowl XLV!

Ray Caddell: The (fireworks) show must go on
Ray Caddell is listening to a CD by Cab Calloway's granddaughter in his Century 21 office. That really doesn't come as a surprise, because when he's not the "Hard Working Nice Guy" real estate agent and broker, Caddell is front man for Big Ray and the Kool Kats.
On the Fourth of July, Caddell has another persona: the man who saved the fireworks at McIntire Park– twice.
The first time was in 2000 when he found out the Jaycees were not hosting the event. "That was difficult," he says. "We had only a week to figure out a way."
He thought lightning couldn't strike twice, but last year he discovered that once again, no big fireworks spectacle was planned for the hometown of the author of the Declaration of Independence.
At least he had six week's notice. Caddell, "an unabashed patriot," swung into action like a force of nature, rallied the community, and saw to it that Charlottesville had an explosive Fourth.
This year, the event is more organized, and the only real hitch, he says, is the fundraising. "If I say we're really in trouble and we're not having fireworks unless you give me $5, that's easy," he says. More challenging is raising money a year out for the community celebration.
"We'll get there," he says with the confidence of a man who's "never worked for anybody" and who has owned a bar and his own real estate company.
And who was on the road 15 years playing music. Caddell's love of trumpet and big band music started in elementary school– and has never waned. Even at a time when he was sitting in his room listening to Cream like his peers, his music teachers all had big bands, and Caddell played for them through school.
"When I was 12 years old, I had a little tux," he recalls.
He's played with Gladys Knight, of Pips fame, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, and with Vic Damone.
His musical career highlight? Playing in an orchestra that backed up Ol' Blue Eyes himself. "That doesn't mean we were buddies," says Caddell. "That doesn't even mean we shook hands." But performing on the same stage as Frank Sinatra was "by far" Caddell's biggest thrill.
He's still a working musician today, playing 90 gigs a year– including the Kennedy Center– with the Kool Kats. For a man with four kids and a business, that's plenty.
Caddell's band rarely practices, though their playlist is extensive. So what's the most requested song?
" 'Fly Me to the Moon', which is a fine piece of music," he says. "Then later in the evening, 'YMCA', which is not so fine. But we don't care what it is, we'll play it." Maybe that's why the Kool Kats get so many bookings.
Caddell admits there's one song that's so annoying that he'd be happy if he never had to play it again: the Electric Slide. "It's time for that one to go away," he says.
On the Fourth of July, he'll be blowing his horn like a patriotic Angel Gabriel on stage at McIntire Park.
Just do the man who saved the fireworks a favor: Don't request the Electric Slide.
Age: 50 on August 8
What brought you here? A real estate development opportunity in 1989
What's worst about living here? People who whine about the traffic
Favorite hangout? Anywhere Big Ray and the Kool Kats are
Most overrated virtue? Trying to get along with everybody. It's impossible.
What would people be surprised to know about you? I've performed in 40 states and a dozen foreign countries.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Patience. I'm working on it.
What accomplishment are you proudest of? I've helped literally hundreds of people buy their first home.
What do people find most annoying about you? I'm extremely opinionated and not at all shy about expressing those opinions.
Whom do you admire? Bill Tucker, attorney, partner, mentor, and friend. And Albemarle High School Band director Greg Thomas, and any other school teacher who brings the dedication and energy to their job that he does.
Favorite book? Trumpet Blues: The Life of Harry James
What subject causes you to rant? Social programs that encourage people not to try and better their situation in life
What thrills you about life in the 21st century? Speed and ease of communication for business through the Internet
What creeps you out about life in the 21st century? That one guy with a test tube or briefcase can cause such horrible damage
What do you drive? A Jeep Cherokee (my wife bought it for me)
What's in your car CD player right now? XM Satellite Radio, usually "Frank's Place"
What's the most trouble you've ever gotten in? Many years on the road as a musician... too many episodes, so little time
What do you regret? I should have worked a little less, spent a little more time with my older kids.
Favorite comfort food? Ritz Crackers (not the low-fat, low-salt version)
What's always in your refrigerator? Fresh-squeezed OJ, shrimp
Must-see TV? Amazing Race, Charlottesville City Council
Favorite cartoon? Top Cat
Describe a perfect day. Breakfast by the pool with my wife and kids, smooth day at work, Fridays After 5 performance with my band (September 10)
Walter Mitty fantasy? All my tenants pay their rent on time.
Who'd play you in the movie? Sean Connery (my wife digs him)
Most embarrassing moment? I introduced the father of the bride at a wedding performance by a name that bore no relation to his own.
Best advice you ever got? Find something you like doing, and figure out a way to make a living at it (from my dad).
Favorite bumper sticker? Why isn't "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds?
Ray Caddell

text: October 21, 2013 by ladyinwaiting2012 Glory of Christ Beheld The Glory of Christ Beheld 'And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.' John 1:14 Suggested Further Reading: Exodus 25:1–9 Let me read the text again, giving another translation: 'The Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.' Now, you remember that in the Jewish church its greatest glory was that God tabernacled in its midst: not the tent of Moses, not the various pavilions of the princes of the twelve tribes, but the humble tabernacle in which God dwelt, was the boast of Israel. They had the king himself in the midst of them, a present God in their midst. The tabernacle was a tent to which men went when they would commune with God, and it was the spot to which God came manifestly when he would commune with man. Here they met each other through the sacrifice of an animal, and there was reconciliation between them. Now, Christ's human flesh was God's tabernacle, and it is in Christ that God meets with man, and in Christ that man has dealings with God. The Jew of old went to God's tent, in the centre of the camp, if he would worship: we come to Christ if we would pay our homage. If the Jew would be released from ceremonial uncleanness, after he had performed the rites, he went up to the sanctuary of his God, that he might feel again that there was peace between God and his soul; and we, having been washed in the precious blood of Christ, have access with boldness unto God, even the Father, through Christ, who is our tabernacle and the tabernacle of God among men. For meditation: Some of the things in the tabernacle which point to Christ are the veil (Matthew 27:51; John 14:6; Hebrews 10:19–20), the manna and the shewbread (John 6:31,35,48), the mercy seat (see 29th March) and the lampstand (John 8:12; 9:5; 12:46). There is no need of tabernacle, temple or lamp in heaven where mere pictures are replaced by the actual presence of the Lord and the Lamb (Revelation 21:22–23).

Scots Pine Yamadori Bonsai Material
- Big, Bold & VERY IMPRESSIVE yamadori with outstanding character
- Beautiful craggy bark and a great trunk
- With a little care and skill this will become a very special bonsai tree
- Currently 42" tall above it's pot. 40" wide overall.
Scots Pine Yamadori Bonsai Material
Scot's pine (Pinus sylvestris) is a remarkable tree, naturally it occurs from Spain in the south to Lapland in the north and east across Siberia. Obviously it is tolerant of a vast range of conditions from almost cooking in the dry hot Spanish summer to deep freezing in the horrific Siberian winters. Many authorities consider Scot's pine to be the worlds finest species for Bonsai Cultivation. It is very tough and can withstand the rigours of bonsai training easily.
It is vigorous in growth habit and back buds easily, within a very short period it will produce a tight compact crown and once twig density has been established the needle length very quickly reduces. Scot's pine also develops wonderful craggy bark texture, a highly valued feature in bonsai material. As with all pines re-potting is rarely necessary, several years can pass before work will be required.
Scot's pine appreciates regular feeding but only very lightly. Also it is important to provide a little feed about once a month throughout the winter during warmer spells of weather. The tree will appreciate being allowed to dry out just a little between watering or the foliage colour will begin to fade to a sickly yellow/green.
The tree has an incredible trunk and excellent bark quality. This will, with a little patience and skill, develop into a very special bonsai tree. It may be big at the moment but once styled it WILL STILL BE BIG. The branches of these trees bend beautifully in summer and they also grow and back bud profusely without the need for excessive pruning. This all means the foliage can be dramatically compacted within a very short period of time. Scots of this quality are few and far between, particularly in the UK. Very well established and ready for work to begin next autumn. A big bold statement to make in any bonsai garden!
Currently 42" tall above it's pot. 40" wide overall. 16" diameter nebari.
Planted in a plastic nursery pot.
