`` forget it , sorceress . ''

There is a weaver who lives in the soul of every woman. She teaches her to look at her time like a big ball of thread and her gifts as the needles with which to shape her life. The weaver of the soul teaches us to untie knots and alchemically transform them into open pathways for us. That is why they say that when you arrive at the house of a soul-weaving woman you must pay close attention. If you enter her space you may find yourself smoking a pipe, creating a tapestry made with your own hands or telling a story. Your time there may actually give you strands of yourself that you have not managed to tame or some you may not recognize, keys to awaken the weaver of the soul that sleeps inside of you. There may even be words in the form of stories which open you to a new way of seeing. What no old weaver or spider woman ever does is waste time. There are stories that tell the story of women weavers and of the threads of soul throughout the length and breadth of this world. These stories remind every woman the way in which to restore her inner skeleton and that her own paradise can in fact be built. This is why I am here to tell you the real story of Ronin Wano, an allegory for the wound of all women and for the Earth herself. The Story of Ronin Wano Long ago in a far away country lived the only granddaughter. Her grandmother educated her to cross-stitch and how to discover word by word the ancestral threads that weave memory and spin life. Truths whispered to the soul of the naive granddaughter and gave her strength and desire for life. Growing up, the girl had to teach all of the other women of her village to keep the soul of their life alive. They called her Ronin Wano, servant of the serpent. In her village the spirit of the river prevailed. From the deepest waters of the river was born an anaconda who keeps the knowledge and secrets with which one day long ago all of the grandmothers spun memory, wove existence and birthed our future. For many years the grandmother sent her granddaughter to the deepest part of the river to learn the language of the water and listen to the story of their own grandmothers. Grandmother would send her to the top of the highest cedars in order to learn the secrets that female birds tell their children. She would send her to climb the most difficult cliffs so that she would lose the fear of dying and choose to live. Every night of the full moon, the grandmother her granddaughter would go to the houses of the bored women and remind them of the strength, flexibility and faith in life that all women carry. Time went by and the granddaughter grew up. Everything changed. The millenary trees were felled and sold. Her daughters’ daughters had grown up contemplating a television, rejecting their indigenous inheritance and forgetting the simple exercise of being. When Ronin Wano became a grandmother her people no longer felt attached to trees, water, or Moon; nor to the womb with its’ cycles. It was then that the old woman knew that her stories should reach the women from beyond the great river of her village. Women who had never learned to create the tapestry of their own lives must also remember the knowledge of all of our grandmothers. Grandmother knew that together we must all weave the soul our lives. It is common in the life of the modern woman to find herself in front of a crossroads which no one has prepared her for; on the one hand the path marked by the education of the patriarchal world in which she has grown up and on the other hand face the challenge of finding her own threads. Threads which are almost always invisible to the eyes but not to the heart and that have the gift of uniting the inheritance of wise grandmothers with all women everywhere. Where to go? How to find these threads, your threads? How to start to weave your own life and feel complete? In the Greek tragedies sometimes the woman dies to be reborn, freezes to be rediscovered, becomes exhausted to gain her strength back and learns to preform alchemy with emotions until she finds inside herself the threads that unite everything. Life, which always goes on, teaches us that as well. I have a one hundred-year-old grandmother who knits with her hands; bedspreads, dresses, curtains, cloths and all the while without speaking. She teaches the art of weaving life. Every day choose a sample of all the materials that make up the work of your life. Study them and then take the threads and weave with your right hand while the left hand counts the threads. Between your fingers exists a dance that joins your head and your heart without losing sight of your goal. My grandmother opens her window wide so that the light enters, looks through the eyes of her soul and while spinning wool is protected from her heart becoming cold. For thousands of years, under the patriarchal society, the soul of the woman has slept, was silenced and has suffered the deep wounds which I too have inherited. Yet the invisible thread of memory kept our ancestral wisdom alive; feminine beyond the mind, right in the center of the heart. This is why the woman breaks apart when she moves away from what really matters. The weaver of the soul is present in the stories of all ancestral cultures and has survived in memory as the Gene inside the lamp. Remember? I have to know how to rub the lamp so that the Gene may reveal itself. I was born and grew up in a plateau town with a mountain and a river where the rawness of the Earth teaches us how to live the cycles. In Winter the voracious cold of the frost and ice push inwards and around all the chimneys there are people who sing romances. In the Spring the flowers arrive and we all wake up to life. Then follows great walks to the Summer river which teach us how to flow. When the Fall arrives apple trees fill with fruit, the elders tell stories and from the hills of the Douro sometimes comes the howling of the she-wolf that has strayed from her herd. All of that is part of my inheritance as a woman and yet I’ve replaced with it with asphalt when I arrived to the city. When my soul froze I needed to find a way out of the labyrinth. I found it by attaching myself to a very thin thread that took me to the land of the Amazons where East and West come together. A place where for thousands of years women and Earth have been made to serve the soul of the world, located right next to the biblical Eden where -for some- the apple brought out the first men and women from paradise. It is there where according to Herodotus and the first historians lived the Amazons where the stories of the mythical goddesses were born thousands of years ago. The old weavers sowed in the soul of the world’s stories destined to guide women in the art of weaving their lives. So much so that event now the old peasant women still repeat, to fix in the memory of their granddaughters, that when a woman is fragmented her soul can still be cured. Since I began that trip every time someone tells me an old inherited story or myth it usually happens that I feel like something inside of me opens up in order to let the words of the story settle in, crystalize and create new threads.

Having your CPAP device covered by insurance is one excellent way of managing the economic aspect of your CPAP therapy. If the restrictions and tedious protocols associated with getting your CPAP device paid for by insurance don’t phase you, there is still the endless confusion of figuring out if your CPAP cleaning machines can be covered, too. Read on to find some solutions for your CPAP cleaner insurance quandaries. What does insurance cover for CPAP therapy patients? Based on stringent criteria, CPAP therapy is covered under many governmental and non-government insurance programs. Depending on the plan, your insurance might have different submission criteria and care requirements for your CPAP therapy devices. Insurance covers the CPAP device as well as the associated supplies needed as per the rules of the insurance policy. To get the device covered by insurance, your doctor must review your file and validate your case that you have an unobjectionable diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. Your doctor will also need to verify that you have met specific criteria regarding use of the CPAP device and that the device has proven to be the appropriate remedy for you. Once you are the owner of a CPAP machine, it is necessary to keep it clean. One of the most popular solutions for cleaning CPAP machines is an automatic CPAP cleaner. Insurance treats these devices differently. What about CPAP cleaner insurance coverage? CPAP cleaners are quickly becoming popular given their convenience and efficiency in keeping your CPAP devices perfectly sanitized and healthy for your use. But the problem remains that while CPAP machines may be covered, there is no regular coverage for CPAP cleaners. Insurance coverage is non-existent for cleaning devices, no matter who the manufacturer is. Does Medicare provide CPAP cleaner insurance? Medicare is the national insurance program which is administered by the U.S. Federal government. It is provided for people age 65 or older, people under age 65 with certain disabilities, and people of all ages with end-stage renal disease. Medicare is divided into four parts: hospital/hospice insurance under Part A, normal medical insurance under Part B, health plans branded as Medicare Advantage make Part C, and Part D covers many prescription drugs. Part B of Medicare’s insurance coverage covers therapy for sleep apnea and the rental or purchase of CPAP machines. If your CPAP device manufacturer has a Medicare supplier number, then Medicare will pay for CPAP equipment and its associated supplies. Beginning with a 3-month trial of CPAP therapy, Medicare may cover 80% of your CPAP machine cost and CPAP accessories if you meet certain requirements, including rental or purchase of the CPAP device. Unfortunately, CPAP cleaners are not counted among the essentials of a CPAP device accessory list. That means no CPAP cleaner insurance coverage. As there are methods to clean a CPAP machine manually, CPAP cleaners are not considered vital enough to justify coverage by insurance. Although no insurer, including Medicare, offers CPAP cleaner insurance coverage, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any ways to use your CPAP therapy budget more efficiently. No CPAP cleaner insurance. Now what? Most people who choose CPAP therapy would appreciate CPAP cleaner insurance coverage to limit their treatment expenses. But, in the absence of CPAP cleaner insurance options, there are some measures that you can use to better your CPAP-related financial situation. There are medical accounts and arrangements that you can access if your health insurance plan provides them. There are three kinds of accounts: FSA or Flexible Spending Account, HRA or Healthcare Reimbursement Account, and HSA or Healthcare Savings Account. What is a Flexible Savings Account (FSA)? Can it offer CPAP cleaner insurance? FSA or a Flexible Savings Account is one way to deal with medical expenses that are not covered by your insurance. This account is generally meant for reimbursements and is very similar to a checking account. A selected amount of money is deducted from your pre-tax salary and kept in your FSA account by your employer. You can use this money for co-pays and to purchase medical implements, including your CPAP cleaner. (Reduced taxes is an added benefit!) At the beginning of your company’s benefit plan year, you can dedicate enough money to your FSA to cover your cleaner and use it to buy a CPAP cleaner without insurance. The paycheck deductions will continue over the course of the year, acting a bit like installment payments, so you don’t have to cover the whole amount at once. Keep in mind that FSA money must be used for the plan year it is contributed for. Unused funds may be forfeit. What is a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)? Can CPAP cleaner insurance be found in an HRA? A Health Reimbursement Account, or HRA, works a bit differently than HSAs or FSAs. An HRA is an account funded by your employer. You don’t pay taxes on HRA funds used, but your employer determines when and how the money can be spent. Because HRAs are largely controlled by employers, if you have one at your workplace check with your HR department to determine if CPAP equipment, including CPAP cleaners, are eligible purchases. If they are, congratulations! You can use HRA funds to buy your cleaner. What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? Any help for CPAP cleaner insurance here? The newest of all medical savings accounts, a Health Savings Account (HSA), is a part of a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP). You can ask your employer or the HR department in your company whether HDHPs are provided, and if yes, if you are eligible for it. In HSAs, an amount of money can be set aside before taxes are taken out to devote to healthcare expenses, the same as an FSA. But you can only start an HSA if you are a part of an HDHP. Money contributed to an HSA doesn’t have to be used the same year it’s contributed, unlike in an FSA, which is an annual use-it-or-lose-it amount. The maximum amount that can be set aside in an HSA yearly, according to the IRS, is $3,250 for an individual or $6,250 for a family. This is quite a beneficial option as you receive interest on the money you set aside, your taxes are reduced, you can use this money for any medical expenses you choose, and the control is in your hands. If you are looking to fund your CPAP cleaner without insurance, an HSA is a smart choice. For those with no savings plans to act as CPAP cleaner insurance, are there other options? If you don’t have access to any of these savings plans, don’t lose hope. There is one last option left to secure the funds for your CPAP cleaner. Insurance of any kind is not required for this option. You can investigate buying your CPAP cleaner through a financing arrangement. Platforms like Bread and Affirm have partnerships with medical insurance organizations to help people who are looking for help paying for their CPAP supplies, including a CPAP cleaner; insurance or savings plans are not involved. Is a CPAP cleaner without insurance worth it? CPAP cleaners are popular because of their efficiency in cleaning your CPAP machine. But, if you are unable to get help paying for your CPAP cleaner, insurance related savings plans or otherwise, you might be forced to shift gears. Forgoing a CPAP cleaner might not be the safest for your health or that of your CPAP device. Even the most dedicated manual cleaning routine often cannot remove all the dirt, microbes, mold, and debris in your CPAP device. Using an unclean CPAP device is quite hazardous to your health and can result in even more medical expenses. A CPAP cleaner, insurance or not, is still a sound investment in your well-being and is money well spent. Visit our CPAP cleaner shop and find the right cleaner for you. Having trouble choosing?

i asked , but she grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hallway toward the bedrooms .

i thought we were right on track with the flying test and everything .

`` if it 's better than hell , go with cole . ''

`` who would n't be impressed ? ''

i met the gaze of ortrera and she nodded once in confirmation .

i look back at the fields , lips pressed together .

as he filled it from the thermos 's nipple , he said , `` we 're closing awful fast .

she let me go as she stepped back and winked at me .

he stared at luccio 's corpse and rasped , `` captain . ''

i wanted it to sound like i was walking normally , just to see if whatever it was , thinking the coast was clear , might pop out and follow .

i made sure i left my drink at the bar , and the bartender knew to dump it .

you ca n't do this now .

she stared at ms. mitchell as if in a dream .

the burly dwarf dismissed his offer with a wave .

as if he blamed lachlain for his disappearance .

with one hand still on the gold-plated door handle , she made eye contact with her amused , dark-haired senior associate .

`` i could perhaps reason with the poor girl , speak with her of the fol y of young love , how swiftly it fades in the face of life 's harsh reality- '' `` no . ''

`` nash , and this is rule .

she could only hope that no one was paying attention .

'now if we could finish up here c ' 'sure , of course . '

could 've been , but never will , because it 's too late .

hiking any higher than the tree line undetected was inconceivable when izzy had specifically challenged zzyk to try .

too fuzzy and sated to argue , she closed her eyes before she even realized she 'd done so .

hed said she reminded him of someone , which was totally not the whole story .

= = = Draft and minor leagues = = =

this was a direct line to the other offices in the municipal building .

but why would he do that to dee ?

mi5 did not believe his exaggerations and his purple prose .

i looked across at the picture window , which allowed a full view of the front yard .

but i have to get dressed , we have to get you to the airport .

'may i see lemin tomorrow ? '

`` he is n't dead , '' i whispered as i curled into a ball , arms around my calves , rocking my body back and forth while one of them , i did n't know who , stroked my hair .

`` it 's already fixed , '' daric corrected her arrogantly .

shortie and i were sitting on the floor playing snap .

i do n't blame him , '' miguel mumbles quietly .

`` how did you know we were looking for james white ? ''

`` so concerned for the new girl , '' ada 's voice said , vibrating out of the cave walls .

`` and i do n't appreciate you going after one of my dogs-again ! ''

safe and warm in jake 's arms .

i 'd made the mistake of tel ing mom about tex 's response to the chocolate caramel layer squares so mom started to think tex was a possibility for future bliss for me .

my gaze bore into balls 's back as i followed him into the living room the guards had been cleaning earlier .

`` see you later , then . ''

stairs , for example , had become my nemesis .

maybe we could put engines on our bikes .

`` iris , '' hanna pleaded to iris 's receding back , `` it 's not what you think ! ''

`` i think so , '' mike murmured , his forehead wrinkling .

his cheeks flush red as i smile back at him .

he didnt suspect what she did , that her husband was off frolicking in the forest with the strange indian woman , for he knew better .

she is going to have to go to the federal prison and her two accomplishes are going down for a long time .

I’m greatly delayed in writing about this, but Google underwent a huge search engine change. I want to say the switch over occured around February 1st or second. I had been seeing 1000 or so visits a day prior to the change (well to be fair 600-1200 a day…) and after the change now see 60-120 visits a day. Yes, the change was that big. eweek tells us some about it. All in all many say that this is improving search results. (I suspect I’d think so as well if my pages were MORE prominent after the update…) What bothers me is that post-big daddy I now seem to have a HARD time finding content on my own site using googles search. For instance, if I search for “avery j. parker”, not only my name and part of the title of this site, but a part of the domain name (averyjparker.com). I would expect the first result would be THIS site, instead it’s the “sister” site, southcarolinagenealogy.org. Paging through the other results I see many pages that I’ve been referenced, either by filing a bug report somewhere, posting in some forum somewhere, but the home page, which, as far as I’m concerned is the most relevant result….. Page 5 is the first page that has some link to this domain and the link is to … www.averyjparker.com/2005/11/15/sony-discs-to-be-recalled/ instead of the main page…. I see no good reason why that page should show up as being more relevant except for the fact that it may have been referenced by another site (pagerank?) Before the “big daddy” update, I could fairly easily pull quoted text from an article and reliably find one of my articles. This was EXTREMELY useful to me when I was out on an appointment dealing with a problem that I remembered I had done a “walkthrough” article…. For instance, previously a search for [registry “Compress old files”] would bring me to the article I had written on cleanmgr hanging on the compress old files notice. (Brackets used to signify the search box…) Sometimes I’d need to add [avery] or [avery j. parker] to my search, but it was fairly reliable….. now… EVEN with my name… I’m the last search result before the “supplemental” results. Of course, I’m also frustrated to see the last cache of the main page was November 8th, 2005…. On other notes, the page rank of the main page seems better than it was pre-big daddy… I used to have a page rank of about 2, now it seems to be 4 on the main landing page (averyjparker.com). It is frustrating though, because at one point, IF, I did a good job writing an article on a focused subject, with the specific topic I wanted in the title (which was also in the link address), kept to topic in the post it was fairly easily FINDABLE. More recent searches for other information have been a bit frustrating for me as well. It seems as though forum threads tend to show up more highly in searches (due to repeated text in the title of a thread repeating down the page as various people chime in?) MSN Search seems to be more relevant when I search for “Avery J. Parker”, first result, domain that bears my name, followed by another page from same… Followed by 3 more of my sites, that I’ve tagged with my name…. For that matter, two of those domains seem to not exist according to google. I guess where this is going is that google has become quite a powerful force. Directing thousands of eyeballs per hour. And if a site doesn’t exist in their index, or is ranked poorly, it almost may as well not exist.

every woman that i 've been with has understood that i could n't give them anything other than a good time . ''
