How Arthritis and Sugar Consumption Can Be a Problem Combination
As a Naturopath who specializes in pain treatments and a sufferer of pain, some self imposed through years of sports and some through natural wear and tear, I am well versed in the various expressions of pain. If you are in pain then perhaps it is time to review your sugar consumption. I discovered the sugar and pain connection in the mid 80's.

Church Camp Songs - Choosing the Best
When I think of church camp songs, I tend to think of those songs that are bible oriented or African-American spirituals. Actually, at the church camps I have attended, they pretty much like to sing what everybody else likes to sing: silly songs, folk songs, old time songs and other traditional campfire songs. In addition, they also like to sing upbeat, religious songs.

At church camps, I find that whoever is running things likes to be as organized as possible, so usually singing around the campfire is not left to chance. The church campfires that I have been to usually included several church camp songs interspersed with stories. Some of the stories were fun and some were more spiritual in nature. Most of the time, the campfire would finish with one of the ecclesiastical leaders, like a priest, minister or bishop teaching one of the stories, parables or characteristics of Jesus. I am a Christian, so this article is from my viewpoint. If you are of another religion besides Christian, you could teach about your religion and/or prophets. All of the religious songs I refer to in this article are based in a Christian background. I really don't know of any campfire songs from other religions, but if you know of some that I could include, please email me and let me know. I would much appreciate it.

Church Camp Songs - Choosing the Best
Below are listed some of the most popular church camp songs:Amazing Grace: This is one of the most beautiful religious songs I know. It is easy to play on the guitar with only three chords. It has one of the most recognized melodies. The song has even more meaning if you know the story behind it. The story is about John Newton, the composer of the song. It is an inspiring story. If you 'google' John Newton or Amazing Grace, you will find several resources. There is also a movie called Amazing Grace about John Newton. Down by the Riverside: Like most African American Spirituals, this is a pretty easy song to learn. Many of the lines are repeated, which makes memorization easy. In most spirituals there is only a difference of two or three words between verses. This makes it easy to learn several verses quite easy. Peace Like a River: This is another spiritual that is easy to learn. I Love the Mountains: Even though this song does not talk about religion or God, I still consider it a great church camp song. The reason I say this is because it talks about nature and all the beautiful things that God has created. It's pretty hard to sing this song without feeling gratitude and thankfulness for the many beautiful things God has created for us to enjoy. The Happy Wanderer: This song kind of goes hand in hand with the previous one. It's just a happy, feel good song about the beauties of God's creations. Kumbaya: Kumbaya is probably the all time most popular church camp song ever. It's easy to sing, easy to learn and just about everybody knows it. He's Got the Whole World: Here is another African American spiritual that is probably a close second in popularity to Kumbaya. You Can't Get to Heaven: This is a fun song to sing, even though I'm sure you won't be barred from heaven just because you're wearing roller skates. If your kids take it seriously, you might want to tell them that if they die with roller skates on or in a rocking chair, they can still go to heaven. Who knows; if they believe they can't get to heaven with roller skates, maybe they'll be more careful! This is one of those songs where you could make up your own verses. Peace Like a River: This is another one of my favorites. Easy to teach, easy to learn and easy to play on the guitar. It's also a very peaceful song if it's done right. This could be done slowly or medium tempo.

If you are looking for a particular church camp song that isn't here, try asking your pastor, priest or other church leader to help you. They will probably have some ideas for songs that are suitable for your denomination. If you decide to do hymns with guitar accompaniment, you might have to transpose to get it into an easier key. A lot of hymns are in flat keys, which are harder to play on guitar. Transpose it into a sharp key like G, D, A, or E.
If you know of any church camp songs or scout songs that should be on this list, or included in The Great American Campfire Songbook, please email me and let me know.
Good luck with your campfire singing; and Remember to have fun!

Every Tuesday I would have take away chicken for lunch and a well known soda, which contained a large amount of sweetener. It took me a few weeks to connect increased knee pain on my Tuesday walk with the high sugar intake. Years later I learned of the clear biochemical connection between sugar and pain. It doesn't matter whether the sweetener is sugar or corn syrup the pain result is the same.

Sugar is a direct driver of inflammation in the body. The best way of accessing your sugar intake is to keep a food & snacks diary for at least one week. You don't need to measure the sugar, just list the sweet foods. You may be surprised at the amount of sugar consumed. Whatever amount you think you are consuming it is probably 30% higher because of hidden sugars, e.g. sauces and breads. Include all treats and processed foods consumed.

If you accept that sugar equals pain, the more sugar you eat the more pain you will experience. I know it can be hard to give up your much loved snacks, especially if they are part of your stress management. We often eat to feel happier. The first step is to reduce your sugar intake, don't try to stop everything all at once, it may be too stressful. Start to introduce more fruit and nuts. Watch out for hidden sugars in so called healthy foods.
A common problem is to swap sugar for aspartame which will only cause you more problems. There are currently multiple class actions against aspartame. Safe alternatives are Stevia or Xyotol which you can purchase at any health food shop.
An important question to ask yourself is how does this pain affect my life and what am I prepared to do to gain relief. Don't forget that by reducing your sugar or corn syrup consumption you will also reduce your likelihood of obesity diabetes and cardiovascular disease. As usual with health issues one action or one problem will often have a flow on effect.
How quickly you make changes in your life will depend on your personality. It may be a lot, all at once or baby steps, gradually introducing change. Be careful who you discuss your plans with. Some people may be supportive but others may seek to undermine your efforts because it challenges some insecurity of their own.

The words to Amazing Grace were written by John Newton, a former Captain of a Slave Ship. After Newton came to salvation through Jesus Christ, he heard a melody coming from the belly of the ship, and it is believed it was to that sorrowful melody that he wrote the words and named it Amazing Grace. Go to the Copyright Office and you will see "Words, John Newton. Music, Unknown."
Wintley says he believes God planned it to be written that way to remind us that we are all humans in common, no matter what race, creed, or color we happen to be. We are all connected by God's Amazing Grace.
In his deep, passionate voice, Wintley then begins - without words - to sing Amazing Grace in the way he imagines John Newton first heard it coming up out of the belly of the ship. His pathos is overwhelming, and his natural singing talent puts it over the top. If you have not watched the video you are depriving yourself of an encouraging inspiration that transcends words.
Amazing Grace, Wintley Phipps
To date, 2.5 million people have watched the video, and most of them may never have realized how powerful this song, played only on the black keys of the piano truly is.

Words by John Newton 1779
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
'Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
May God bless you as you listen to Wintley Phipps, a beautiful African-American singer, singing only the black notes.

The Law of Attraction teaches that we attract into our lives whatever we focus on. Quantum Physics teaches that nothing is fixed, that there are no limitations, that everything is vibrating Energy. By understanding that everything is Energy in a state of potential and by applying the Law of Attraction to bring into our lives what we focus on, it is never necessary to feel stuck with an undesirable life.
Newton
The Law of Attraction and Quantum Physics
We are Creators of the Universe. The classical physics of Newton takes a material perspective in which the Universe is composed of discrete building blocks, solid and unchangeable. Quantum physics takes a spiritual perspective in which there are no separate parts, in which everything is fluid and always changing.
The Law of Attraction and Quantum Physics
No URL
The physical world is a sea of Energy constantly flashing into and out of existence. It is through our thoughts that we transform this ever-changing Energy into observable reality. Therefore, we can create our reality with our thoughts. With quantum physics, science is leaving behind the notion that human beings are powerless victims and moving toward an understanding that we are fully empowered creators of our lives and of our world.
With Newton, we were insignificant cogs in the Universal Machinery. With quantum physics, we are Creators of the Universe.
Everything is Energy. Einstein's 1905 formula E = mc2 explains the relationship between Energy and matter, i.e., that Energy and matter are interchangeable - that, in reality, everything is Energy - dancing, fluid, ever-changing Energy.
This Energy is influenced by our thoughts. It is shapeable, formable, and moldable. As Creators, we shape, form and mold the Energy of the Universe through our thoughts. We transform the Energy of our thoughts into the Energy of our reality.
The Physics of Possibility. The popular movie, What the Bleep Do We Know!?, clarifies that quantum physics is the physics of possibility. We have been conditioned to believe that the external world is more real than the internal world. Quantum physics says just the opposite. It says that what's happening on the inside determines what's happening on the outside. It says that our world is shaped by our thoughts.
Since nothing is fixed and everything is in a state of potential, everything is possible. As we understand that everything is possible, and as we focus our thoughts on what we want to attract, we can literally call into existence whatever we desire.
My ten-year old neighbor loves the expression - "It could happen!" He probably doesn't know much about the physics of possibility, but he practices it with his great attitude. He reminds me to entertain possibility. He reminds me that nothing is impossible.
Dreams into Reality. The Universe exists as infinite potential in infinite abundance. As we focus our thoughts, we have the power to bring our desires into existence, our dreams into reality. As we focus our thoughts, we have the power to be and do and have whatever we desire.

His resulting design reminded Newton of candlewicking - a style of needlework popular in Colonial times and thus the name was born.

The Story Behind The Song - Amazing Grace
The Story Behind The Song - Amazing Grace
No study on Hymnology would be complete without "Amazing Grace." Amazing Grace is probably one of the most well-known, widely published and well-loved Hymns by all faiths. It has often been referred to in modern-day meetings as the Baptist Anthem. There is probably not a more accurate description of Grace than Amazing and this is truly the case when you consider the biographical background of John Newton.
The Story Behind The Song - Amazing Grace

The Story Behind The Song - Amazing Grace
The Story Behind The Song - Amazing Grace
John Newton was born in London in 1725 but at the age of 6, his mother died. She was a godly, praying woman who instilled in him the Word of God proving what the Bible declares in Proverbs, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." The song, Amazing Grace could very well be the testimony of John's conversion and Christian life. In its original form, there were six verses. The first three that are known and used now were written by John Newton. In its original publication in Olney Hymns in 1779 it bore the title "Faith's Review and Expectation."
As we explore the verses of Amazing Grace, from the very first verse we see Newton's knowledge of theology.
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Twas blind but now I see.
The definition of Grace, according to Emory H. Bancroft, is "unmerited favor to sinners." The word Grace appears in the New Testament alone over 170 times. One cannot even read the title, Amazing Grace, without immediately being reminded of Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" It is Grace that saves us, Grace that keep us, Grace that leads us and Grace that will one day lead us home. What John Newton was saying about Grace, is that has a nice ring to it, I like the sound of that.
The line "that saved a wretch like me" draws our attention to the Depravity of man. Man is born without a spark of divinity; all men are born with the depraved nature of Adam. Scriptures that prove this are Romans 3:10, 3:23, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Galatians 3:22 and I John 1:8. The fact that John Newton realized that for man to see God there must be a new birth is also introduced in these lines. Acts 4:12 declares that there is no other name whereby we must be saved.
Salvation, Regeneration, is the only way to Christ. Man is born lost. He does not have to do anything to be lost, he is lost. The only way for man to get to Heaven is he must be quickened, made alive. And that is what regeneration does and is. Regeneration is that spiritual work by the Holy Ghost that imparts the new nature, the nature of Christ in a man. That is what is meant in the phrase, "I once was lost".
"Twas blind but now I see", man's lost condition is typified in the scriptures as blindness. No doubt John Newton had read the story of Jesus healing the blind man in John 9 where the blind man declared "Whereas I was blind, now I see".
The second verse of Amazing Grace,
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
John states clearly, it is all of grace. He says the same grace that put me under conviction and condemnation, when I turned to Christ, it was that same grace that relieved all my fears, and it came the same hour, the same time that I believed. No doubt, the promise of Romans 10:9 of "believing in the heart" came to John's mind as he penned these words. That word believe has a strong meaning, to trust or entrust, to have faith in. The implication is illustrated by believing that a chair will hold you up but haven't really put your faith in the chair until you sit down in it. You believe it will hold you up and support you, but you have not demonstrated your faith until you commit yourself to it by sitting down in it. That is what the word believe means, to display your faith, committing yourself to Christ.
The third verse, if you know anything about the life of John Newton speaks much to the heart:
Through many dangers toils and snares,
I have already come.
Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
and grace will lead me home.
At the tender age of 6, after the death of his mother, little John set sail with his father, who was a sea captain. John later joined the British navy, but he was a very rebellious sailor. He even deserted the navy and was later caught, put in irons and publicly beaten. He later would become a captain of a ship himself, the captain of a slave ship. John was on a long trip from Brazil and to pass the time, he was reading a book entitled Imitation of Christ written three hundred years earlier by Thomas Kempis. Then came a terrible, horrific storm that almost sent the ship and entire crew into the ocean. After surviving this storm, this got John to thinking about life and about death. He knew he was lost, he knew he was a sinner. The teachings of his godly mother came back to mind and John knelt and repented and received the Lord Jesus. You can only imagine the storms and dangers that John had been through when he penned those words. He knew that it was only by the Grace of God that he was not dead and in Hell.
After being saved, John would trade his position for the pulpit. John, a lover of the sea, took a land job and studied for sixteen years and then was ordained in the Anglican Church and was assigned a pastorate in the small English town of Olney. It was there that he wrote the words of Amazing Grace, and he was absolutely right, How Sweet the Sound!!
John Newton wrote the first three verses of Amazing Grace and wrote these additional verses that we do not use and you may not know:
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
The fourth verse that is in our hymn books, "When we've been there ten thousand years" is anonymous and was added in 1910 by Edwin Othello Excell in Coronation Hymns. The musical tune that we now use for Amazing Grace was composed by Edwin Excell in 1910.

The Physics Classroom is an illustrated, animated tutorial for high-school students written by high-school science teacher Tom Henderson. These four lessons explain Newton's Laws of Motion with multimedia demonstrations and quizzes. My favorite clicks are the interactive activities listed in the Shockwave Physics Studio and the animations found in Multimedia.
PBS: Newton's Dark Secrets
"He was the greatest scientist of his day, perhaps of all time. But while Isaac Newton was busy discovering the universal law of gravitation, he was also searching out hidden meanings in the Bible and pursuing the covert art of alchemy. In this program, NOVA explores the strange and complex mind of Isaac Newton." Although few classrooms probably explore this side of Newton's fascinating character, I include it for variety. Best clicks are His Legacy, and Einstein on Newton.

How Long Does it Take to Get Your Tax Refund Back?
How Long Does it Take to Get Your Tax Refund Back?
A common question heard at tax time is "how long does it take to get my refund back?" Consumers, especially those struggling in tough economic times, look forward to the financial boost that a tax refund gives. The good news is that the IRS provides the necessary tools that make finding the status of a federal tax refund check just a mouse click away. With state refund checks however, it's a little trickier since you have to know which state agency controls the tax return process. In this article, we'll guide you through the IRS's guidelines for when how long the refund check should take, and review the proper channels for getting both federal and state tax fund questions answered.

Federal Tax Refunds
How you file your taxes, via either U.S. mail or electronic filing, dictates how long it normally takes to receive a refund. Filing a return through the mail is, of course, the slower of the two processes. For those who mail their federal return, the IRS will remit a tax refund within six weeks after they have been received the completed return. If you file electronically, you should receive your tax refund within three weeks.
The IRS allows two options for receiving a federal tax refund: paper check sent via the mail, or an electronic funds transfer (also called a direct deposit). The direct deposit method, not surprisingly, is always the quicker option. The Federal 1040 form contains a section where consumers can opt for a direct deposit. If you want the IRS to electronically deposit your refund into more than one account you will need to file a separate form 8888.
How to Check on Your Federal Tax Refund
For anyone wanting to check the status of their tax refund, simply go to the IRS's Where's my refund (irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96596,00.html) webpage where you'll find an easy to use tool to request the information. If you would rather check the refund status by phone, you may call 1-800-829-1954. The IRS asks that you wait 3 days after filing electronically, or 3 weeks after mailing a return before checking for a status update. For those who file an amended return, however, the period to receive a refund check will take 8-12 weeks.
Tips on Ensuring a Quick Refund
By eliminating mistakes, consumers can ensure that their refund is received in as timely a fashion as possible. The most common mistakes, which can cause delays in receiving a refund, are listed below:
Social security number missing or incorrect
Incorrect tax result, given reported income and filing status, was entered
Mathematical errors in figuring the taxable income, withholding and estimated tax payments, Earned Income Credit, Standard Deduction for age 65 or over or blind, the taxable amount of social security benefits, and child and dependent care credit
Items entered on incorrect line, especially estimated tax and withholding
General Math Errors
State Tax Refund Process
As you might expect, each state has its own specific agencies and rules that govern taxation processes. Many states have a Department of Revenue that deals with tax filings and returns, for other states it may be the Tax Commission, Department of Taxation, or some other similar named department.
To check status on a state tax refund, find the state taxation agency for your particular state (by going here aicpa.org/yellow/yptsgus.htm) and go their website. Most state agencies, like the IRS, provide tools or resources for consumers to check on tax refund status.
