From Me To You... With the rise in services like Netflix and Hulu, it is easier to catch your favorite show and watch at your leisure than ever before. This has also led to the phenomenon of binge watching - sitting through a season or series at a time. In reality I have been doing my own form of binge watching for years, turning on House Hunters or Friends every night. There are advantages to screening shows this way. You can fully immerse yourself in the story and follow complicated plot lines more easily. If you are watching a show you have seen before then multitasking comes into play. For example as I write this I am streaming The Big Bang Theory in the background. Bazinga! Something that occurred to me is that the way shows are written will have to evolve as we turn more to binge watching. I was watching Grey’s Anatomy and when I saw it originally the plot lines made sense. However, once I started watching one episode after another, the stories seemed to speed up. Relationships blossomed, evolved and ended in a matter of hours, not
weeks as I remembered it. The sheer number of disasters also became somewhat comical when viewed that way. I mean, how many horrible things happened to that cast and the poor patients they treated? Subway pole pinning two strangers together, a man attacked by his girlfriend’s lion, near drownings, plane crashes, car crashes, it makes you think twice about visiting Seattle. Shows like Grace & Frankie and Santa Clarita Diet are released all at once. You can see the whole thing as quickly or slowly as you want. It makes the gaps between seasons harder to wait for but I guess you can’t have everything. I have also come to realise that the significance of the show you pick has increased in importance. If you dip in and out of a show once a week for half an hour or an hour it is not too much of an investment of your time. Now with binge watching, there better be something that makes one series worth the days or weeks you will be spending together. Something light and silly or a drama that pulls you in perhaps. Maybe a historical romance, you know so you can learn something while you fritter away all those hours. I was planning on starting Game of Thrones next week but with all the backlash over the last couple of episodes I am rethinking that choice. Which shows do you love to watch? Email me with your favorite shows that you think are worth binge watching. I look forward to your recommendations!

Cuts & Scrapes
Summer is a time to get the family back outside to play after a long winter of being stuck inside. Those outdoor adventures - for kids big and small - may also bring a few unexpected injuries. Parents never want to see their kids hurt, but when those minor cuts or scrapes do occur, it’s important to know what to do - and what to use to help prevent infection and get little ones back to their adventures. “As parents, we want to protect our kids, especially when it comes to treating the minor cuts and scrapes that are an inevitable part of growing up,” says Dr. Natasha Burgert, a pediatrician and healthy child advocate. Dr. Burgert stresses that parents need to be focused on prevention. “Infection prevention is priority number one in first aid. When your child gets hurt, your first line of defense is a topical antiseptic to protect against germs and help prevent infection,” she notes.
gravel or debris that may be stuck in the skin.
Step 2: Help prevent infection with a proper antiseptic, every time It’s important that you select the proper first aid product with the right ingredients; it’s not one size fits all! A topical antiseptic like Betadine is the first line of defense. After the minor wound is clean, apply Betadine to kill germs and help prevent infection. Step 3: Bandages to the rescue Not all scrapes will require a bandage. However, if there is open skin of any kind, it’s wise to keep it covered to reduce exposure to outside germs. Keep in mind, the psychology of a bandage can have a big impact on kids, so even if it might not be necessary, providing one could help calm nerves. “Smart parents know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” says Dr. Burgert.
Dr. Burgert says infection protection is easy with three simple steps: Step 1: Clean the affected area If there is any minor bleeding, get that under control first by applying gentle pressure with a clean tissue or cloth. Next gently clean the affected area. Make sure to remove any dirt,

On Your Marks... With popular obstacle- and ninja-style shows taking over TV, you might be curious what it takes to become a part of the competition. One expert ninja says this curiosity can springboard you quickly to the next level. When beginning to train for any obstacle-style event: 1. Find a local training gym or park As the popularity of the shows has grown, so too has the desire for more obstacle-style training facilities. Research what is available in your area. Indoor gyms and outdoor obstacle parks offer multiple whole-body fitness and agility options for children ages 5 to 12 and teens/adults ages 13 and over, so the whole family can participate. Learn more at www.playlsi.com. 2. Use your body weight as a training tool If you can’t find training opportunities within 30 minutes of your home, focus on body-weight training and calisthenics - the type of training gymnasts do - to build your skills. Keep in mind that even if you can bench a lot of weight, it’s not the same as holding your own body weight. Train by using your own body weight as resistance because that is what will be tested on many of the obstacles.
each other. It’s a competition, but competitors have strong bonds and encourage the success of each participant. When you start training and decide you enjoy the sport, try joining some local groups so you can build your own camaraderie. The support you’ll feel is incredible. You can start by researching local meetups on the Facebook group American Ninja Warrior Comrades. 5. Explore mental training A big part of succeeding at this sport is mental strength. Believe in yourself and envision yourself successfully completing a challenge. A mental block is always the hardest obstacle, so if you make a mistake, don’t dwell on it. Repetition helps you gain confidence so your mind trusts your body. Then you can just go without overthinking it. The mind is your biggest asset if you use it to your advantage, but can also be your biggest hurdle if you let worries overtake your abilities.
3. Work on speed, balance and agility Being agile and having good balance can help you conquer some of the toughest obstacles. Competitors that only focus on upper body strength will slip up on seemingly easier parts of the course simply because they don’t have good balance or speed. The faster you can go, the less energy you’ll expend, which means you can go further without getting tired. Speed can also be an alternative to balance. If you can go through some obstacles quickly, you’ll not have to rely on stellar balance skills. 4. Find friends and build camaraderie What makes obstacle- and ninja-style competitions unique is everyone supports Estrella Publishing - Mountain View magazine

Moving Made Simple Moving is an exciting time as you look forward to settling into your new home sweet home. However, it’s also a stressful time as you try to move your belongings from one place to another, as well as set up all the services you need, such as mail, cable and internet. Before you get stressed, take a deep breath and know that in a few simple steps, you can save time while making your move easier. Here are some top tips and tricks to take the stress out of moving so you can look forward to settling into your new home: Sort and label boxes wisely: Not only will being organized help you pack faster, it will also streamline the unpacking process at your new place. Label boxes by item type and and room. For example, one box might be labeled “kitchen: pots and pans” while another might be labeled “master bedroom: shoes.” You might also consider using colored markers for each room type or adding a shape, such as a star or triangle, for easy visual sorting. Don’t forget a box for donations to charity with items you no longer use.
Keep clothes hanging: It’s a pain to have to unhang clothes, fold and then rehang on hangers when you unpack. Instead, when clothes are still in your closet, group by four or five and use a garbage bag to protect and hold them together. Open the plastic bag and insert clothes from the bottom up, then tie the top around the hangers. Voila! Grouped, protected and ready to move. Use technology to your advantage: Your smartphone is a great tool for keeping up with move to-do’s since you always have it with you. Utilize text reminders from services related to your move. Also, if you want to keep your children entertained while you’re unpacking, download the Xfinity Stream app to your smartphone or tablet until the family’s TV room is up and running. Keep important documents with you: Whether you’re moving by yourself or hiring movers, there are plenty of boxes that need to make it from point A to point B. A few things should never be in those boxes, mostly because they aren’t worth the risk of getting lost or damaged. These include personal documents such as birth certificates, bank records and wills. These should be kept with you in a safe spot at all times.

Oral Care As We Age
We all know brushing our teeth twice a day is crucial to keeping our smile bright, but most of us probably don’t understand how dental hygiene can impact our overall health, especially as we age. Going to the dentist is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Alison Komarek, DDS answers some of the most pressing questions older adults have regarding their oral health. Q: How often do I need to go to the dentist? A: Adults, especially those 65 and older, should get to the dentist every six months to one year. Routine dental exams are critical, as they allow your dental team to develop a baseline for your overall oral health, so they can spot changes as you age. A head and neck screening for oral cancers is also recommended. Oral cancer primarily affects older adults and routine screenings are the best way to help ensure early detection. Q: What is gum disease and is it treatable? A: Gum disease, an infection of tissues that surround and support teeth, is one of the most
50 Years 1969-2019
common oral health issues facing older adults. Gum disease can be hard to detect, as it is often painless. Signs of gum disease
include: * Gums that bleed easily, or are red and swollen * Receding gum line * Loose or sensitive teeth
The earlier your dentist can catch this manageable disease, the better. Early-stage gum disease is generally straightforward to manage through professional cleanings, while late-stage gum disease can be more complex. Q: My mouth has gotten drier as I age, what is that all about? A: You’re not alone here - dry mouth, or xerostomia, affects 30 percent of adults age 65 and older, according to the American Dental Association. Dry mouth is often caused by medication you may be taking; ask your doctor or pharmacist if xerostomia is a side effect of one or more of your medications. If you see or feel something out of the ordinary in your mouth, call your dentist and make a dental appointment as soon as possible.

Peace On Earth The Challenge of Communication
The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream. (Proverbs 18:4 NIV) Communication is a challenge. As a pastor I witness the unfortunate fallout of poor communication. We’ve added to this challenge by defaulting to emails and texts. Removing the clues of body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice make communication even more difficult. When should we use written versus faceto-face? Julia Funt, CEO of White Spaces, presented at last year’s Global Leadership Summit the difference between 2D and 3D communication. Here are some of Funt’s and my own thoughts: 2D is for short emails and texts: Be clear. Avoid acronyms like BTW and emoticons. Not everyone interprets emoticons the same way. Choose your words carefully. Avoid words that can be interpreted in multiple ways. Use words that build up. Find a positive way to frame your message. Proofread before you send – especially if you are using voice dictation. Read every word and not what you think you wrote.
Don’t automatically ‘reply’ by tagging onto an email. Start a new email for a new topic. When emailing a large group, use blind copy so other’s email addresses are not visible. **State at the beginning of your email who is copied on it, i.e. “This email is going to everyone in finance,” or, “I’ve copied our accountant on this.” Don’t try to communicate humor or feelings in 2D. They can be gravely misinterpreted. Avoid using 2D when emotions or strong reactions are likely. Avoid using 2D to tell someone something negative or critical. 3D is face to face or on the phone. It is best for discerning, for when you need to listen well, and for decision making. Think before you speak. Be aware of your tone, facial expressions, and body language. Give the other time to express thoughts/feelings. Make eye contact and listen more than you speak. Ask yourself if you are using 2D to avoid a meeting or a person. If so, you need 3D. 2D may avoid face-to-face confrontation, but it can cause greater harm. Also, just because someone sent you a 2D communication does not mean you should respond in 2D. The Bible urges building others up and guarding our mouths. Such scriptures apply to your emails and texts as well. Strive for healthy and positive communication. You may save time on the initial correspondence, but spend more time cleaning up the confusion and deep hurt. Our relationships are important. Treat them with great respect. I pray this 2D article does no harm. Submitted by Valerie Fairchild, pastor of Spirit Song church in Vistancia

Sunscreen Myths It’s no secret that sunscreen is essential for protecting our skin from the sun’s damaging rays. Even on a cloudy day, sunscreen is important for helping to reduce early signs of skin aging and skin cancer when used along with other sun protection measures. However, not everything you hear about sun care is true: there are a number of dangerous sunscreen misconceptions out there that can lead to potential issues for the skin down the road. To cut through the confusion and help you best protect your skin from the sun’s harmful effects, board-certified dermatologist and Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology at the New York University Langone Medical Center, Dr. Elizabeth Hale, who has partnered with Coppertone, debunks common sunscreen myths: Myth #1: All sunscreens are created equal Truth: To best protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, look for the words “broad spectrum” when choosing a sunscreen, which means the product protects from both forms of UV radiation. Opt for a product with a minimum
SPF 30, which can help protect you from approximately 97 percent of the sun’s damaging rays, and look for a product that is water-resistant.
Myth #2: Individuals with darker complexions don’t need sunscreen Truth: Having a darker complexion means more melanin is present in the skin, but this only works to diffuse UV light to a certain extent and doesn’t protect from skin cancer and sun-induced hyperpigmentation. The sun can cause damage to anyone’s skin, regardless of their complexion, which is why sunscreen is necessary for people of all skin tones and ethnicities. Myth #3: Cosmetics have enough SPF to keep you protected Truth: A new wave of makeup products containing built-in SPF are taking over the market, but just because you use these products does not mean you should skip sunscreen for the day. To be safe, be sure to apply actual sunscreen before or after your makeup and reapply throughout the day. Myth #4: Sunscreen does not expire Truth: The active ingredients in most SPF products tend to break down after about three years, and even faster when exposed to high temperatures and direct sunlight, making the ingredients less effective in protecting you from sun damage. If you are not applying sunscreen regularly, which you should be, make it a point to restock your sunscreen at least at the start of each summer. Having a basic understanding of sun protection and knowing the truth behind common misconceptions is key in safeguarding your skin and reducing your chances of premature skin aging and skin cancer.

Positive Parenting I hope I raise a child who says “thank you” to the bus driver when he gets off the bus, “please” to the waiter taking his order at the restaurant, and holds the elevator doors when someone’s rushing to get in.
I hope I raise a child who loses graciously and wins without bragging. I hope he learns that disappointments are fleeting and so are triumphs, and if he comes home at night to people who love him, neither one matter. Nobody is keeping score, except sometimes on Facebook. I hope I raise a child who is kind to old people. I hope I raise a child who realizes that life is unfair: Some people are born rich or gorgeous. Some people really are handed things that they don’t deserve. Some people luck into jobs or wealth that they don’t earn. Tough. I hope I raise a child who gets what he wants just often enough to keep him optimistic but not enough to make him spoiled. I hope I raise a child who knows that he’s loved and special but that he’s not the center of the universe and never, ever will be.

I hope I raise a child who doesn’t need to affirm his self-worth through bigotry, snobbery, materialism, or violence. I hope I raise a child who likes to read. I hope I raise a child who is courageous when sick and grateful when healthy. I hope I raise a child who begins and ends all relationships straightforwardly and honorably. I hope I raise a child who can spot superficiality and artifice from a mile away and spends his time with people and things that feel authentic to him. I hope I raise a child who makes quality friends and keeps them. I hope I raise a child who realizes that his parents are flawed but loves them anyway. And I hope that if my child turns out to be a colossal screw-up, I take it in stride. I hope I remember that he’s his own person, and there’s only so much I can do. ~ Annonymous
I hope I raise a child who will stick up for a kid who’s being bullied on the playground. I also hope I raise a child who, if he’s the one being bullied, fights back. Hard. Oh, and if he’s the bully? I hope he realizes that his mother, who once wore brown plastic glasses and read the phonebook on the school bus, will cause him more pain than a bully ever could. I hope I raise a child who relishes life’s tiny pleasures—whether it’s a piece of music, or the color of a gorgeous flower, or Chinese takeout on a rainy Sunday night.

Headache Help You’ve been there before - you wake up and immediately feel the pulsing in your head, you get to work and can feel the pounding pressure mounting as you move between looking at your computer screen and meetings, you’re gearing up for a fun day out with your kids but you cringe as the pain in your head magnifies with every shout of excitement. It can be easy to dismiss a headache as normal, but normal shouldn’t be confused with common. Headaches can also be caused by your daily habits that may be easily removed from your routine or can help your doctor develop a treatment plan. Know your headache and migraine triggers * Food is one of the more common triggers, from smoked foods to alcohol and avocados, that is often overlooked. Keep a food journal to
see if you can identify patterns and triggers * Weather changes * For women, menstruation and hormone fluctuations or imbalance * Screen time * Stress and a compromised sleep schedule Headaches or uncharacteristic migraine symptoms can indicate you need medical attention. People are often reluctant to call their healthcare provider or go to the ER because they don’t want to arrive only to learn that nothing out of the ordinary is wrong. Diamond advises, “If your symptoms are out of the ordinary for you, absolutely seek medical attention from a specialist and get help. Your headache or migraine should not keep you from living your life to its fullest.” Common signs that you should seek medical help for your headaches* You have more than the occasional headache (more than twice a week) * Your headache persists, and continues to get worse or won’t stop * Your headaches interfere with your normal activities of daily life * You find yourself taking pain relievers more than two days a week * You take over-the-counter medications for headache relief, but the recommended dosage is not adequate Headache and migraine are serious conditions and you shouldn’t be afraid to talk to your doctor, or to seek out a certified headache expert.

In Home Sprinklers Home is supposed to be a safe space, so it can be scary to think about things like fires. Unfortunately, fires are a real threat. Seven people die each day due to home fires, so it’s important to be ready.
You probably see fire sprinklers in commercial places all the time; maybe where you work or at your favorite stores. These systems are an effective method for controlling fires quickly. They’re less common in homes, but they work there just as well. The risk of dying in a home fire decreases by about 85 percent if sprinklers are present. That means the sprinkler activates and puts out the fire before it has a chance to spread to other places in the home. The National Fire Protection Association and the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition want you to know these facts: Only one sprinkler activates: If a fire starts, the closest sprinkler will activate, spraying water to control the flames, heat and deadly smoke. That fast control gives you time to escape to safety.
responding firefighters.
to get notification, respond and begin suppression. A sprinkler controls the fire before it can spread, protecting residents and the
Smoke alarms are not enough: Fire sprinklers detect the fire and automatically control it, saving lives and property. Sprinklers are reliable and easy to maintain: Fire sprinkler mishaps are generally less likely and less severe than home plumbing system problems. Take action now: Test your smoke alarms and practice your escape plan with your family. If you are thinking of building or buying a home, ask for fire sprinklers. They provide peace of mind, protecting you and your family should you ever face the threat of a home fire. Learn more at homefiresprinkler.org.
Fire sprinklers use less water than fire hoses: Because of the sprinkler’s fast action and less water flow, the property loss in a sprinklered home fire is far less than in an unsprinklered home fire. Home fires are deadly in 2 minutes or less: It takes 9-12 minutes or more for a fire department
