Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, December 18, 2009; A03
Senate Republicans said Thursday that they would try to filibuster a massive Pentagon bill that funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an unusual move that several acknowledged was an effort to delay President Obama's health-care legislation.
Late into the night, Democrats emerged from a huddle confident that they would muster the 60 votes needed to thwart the GOP effort at blocking the military spending bill as an antiwar liberal said he would set aside his reservations and support choking off the filibuster in order to keep the chamber on a timeline of holding a final health-care vote before Christmas. The vote on the defense spending bill was to occur after 1 a.m. Friday, too late for this edition.
The maneuvering occurred on a day when Democrats were still desperately trying to round up a 60th vote on the health-care legislation, as Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.) rejected an abortion compromise aimed at bringing him on board. Nelson, the last holdout in the Democratic caucus and the focus of an intense lobbying campaign by White House officials, has said he would not support the package unless it explicitly bars the use of federal funds for abortion services.
If Nelson's support can be secured over the weekend, Democrats are hopeful that they will be able to begin clearing the parliamentary hurdles that would allow final passage of their version of the health-care legislation by Christmas Eve. That would meet their self-imposed deadline to pass the legislation and begin a negotiation with House Democrats to craft a final version to send to the president's desk.
Republicans have said their goal is to block the legislation and force Senate Democrats to go home and face their constituents, hoping for some supporters of the legislation to return after New Year's too fearful to back the legislation.
Part of that effort played out on the $626 billion spending bill for the Defense Department. If the filibuster on the defense bill succeeded, Democrats would have to scramble to find a way to fund the military operations because a stopgap funding measure expires at midnight Friday. Such an effort might have distracted from the health-care legislation for a day or two, disrupting the very tight timeline on health care.
"I don't want health care," Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) said in explaining his support of a filibuster. He is a member of the Appropriations Committee, which crafted the Pentagon funding bill.
Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Richard C. Shelby (Ala.) and Christopher "Kit" Bond (Mo.) admitted they support the spending bill but acknowledged they were considering opposing it because of the health-care debate.
Democrats were furious. They believed they had a deal with Sen. Thad Cochran (Miss.), the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee, to support the bill, but by Thursday night Cochran was saying he was unsure how he would vote.
"They are prepared to jeopardize funding for troops at war," Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) said Thursday evening. "If Democrats did that, there would be cries of treason."
Anticipating no GOP votes, Democrats were required to deliver all 60 members of the caucus, something they were not expecting to have to do early in the day. Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) is a staunch opponent of the war and usually refuses to support even procedural votes on legislation funding Iraq and Afghanistan efforts. At the closed-door meeting Thursday evening, Feingold delivered a stirring talk to Democrats that indicated he would vote with them, leading to a round of applause that could be heard outside the room.
"I am not going to be part of a partisan and cynical effort to delay passage of the defense bill in order to block the Senate from considering health care reform," he said in a statement later. After voting to cut off the filibuster, Feingold expects to vote no on the final passage of the $626 billion spending bill for the Pentagon, a vote that will only require 51 votes to succeed.
That final vote on defense will likely come Saturday morning, clearing the way for Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) to return to the health-care debate. As those health-care talks continue, the most-closely-watched man in the Senate will be Nelson.
Nelson has been pressing for the Senate bill to include a provision contained in the health bill the House approved last month that would prohibit recipients of federal subsidies from using the money to buy insurance policies that include abortion coverage. Abortion rights advocates are strongly opposed to that provision, saying it would give insurers a strong incentive to abandon abortion coverage.
On Wednesday, Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (D-Pa.), an abortion opponent who is trying to mediate the dispute, proposed a compromise that would more clearly segregate public and private funds in the new insurance exchanges for individuals who do not have access to affordable coverage through an employer. Under the bill, people who earn less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level would be eligible for government subsidies to purchase insurance on the exchanges.
Casey also offered new ideas for reducing the number of abortions, including a temporary $1,000 increase in the tax credit for adoptive parents and a new federal fund to assist teenagers, college students or victims of domestic violence who are pregnant and without resources. The fund would provide $250 million over the next decade to help with housing, baby supplies and other needs if the pregnant person chose to keep the child.
In a statement issued Thursday, Nelson praised those provisions but said the proposal was "not sufficient" to win his vote.
"The compromise adds important new initiatives addressing teen pregnancy and tax credits to help with adoptions," Nelson said. "These are valuable improvements that will make a positive difference and promote life. But as it is, without modifications, the language concerning abortion is not sufficient."
Earlier Thursday, in an interview with a Nebraska radio station, Nelson said even if the abortion issue were resolved, he still could not support the $848 billion package, complaining that the plan to cover more than 30 million additional Americans calls for dramatically expanding Medicaid, which is partially funded by the states. The Medicaid expansion would "create an underfunded federal mandate for the state of Nebraska," Nelson said, arguing that states should be permitted to "opt out" of that idea and find other ways to offer coverage to their poorest residents.

Print service is activated but I still get error message saying print service is not in use
It is most likely that the country code (e.g. FI for Finnish addresses) is missing from the recipient's address.
Sending invoices by print service always requires at least the following recipient information:
- address
- zip code
- city
- country code
If even one of these are missing the invoice cannot be sent.

Horos, khoros, choros (χορός) means "dance" in the Greek language. This word occurs in the names of numerous Greek dances, which may be literally translated as "dance of..." or "dance from...". Sometimes the word may be omitted, e.g., both "Hasapikos choros" ("Dance of butchers") and Hasapiko may be seen in use.
In Ancient Greece dance and song were inseparable parts of celebration and theatre. In fact the word choir originates from "choros" as well (see Greek chorus).
Many Greek villages have a flat place chorostasi/horostasi (Χοροστάσι) where dances, weddings and other events take place. The term chorostasi denotes "threshing floor", i.e., the place where the threshing of wheat was done, and after the end of harvesting it was clean and empty and hence a natural place for celebration. Therefore, it is claimed[1] that chorostasi gave both the name choros and the circular arrangement of the movement in the dance.
The dances Horo (Bulgaria) and Hora (Romania) (both from Balkans), and Horon altogether with horos have an ancient origin.

Goshen College, a Mennonite liberal arts institution, has reversed its 2010 decision to play an instrumental version of the US national anthem.
For many people these days, much 'religion' has become synonymous with division, bigotry and violence. Sadly, there is plenty of good evidence that this is so. But it is not the whole picture. There are very strong faith traditions that point in exactly the opposite direction.
Goshen College, a prominent Mennonite liberal arts institution, has reversed its decision to play the militaristic and nationalistic US national anthem at sports events. Andy Alexis-Baker welcomes the move, after a long process of lobbying which he and others led. Never before have so many Christians - and not just Mennonites or other Anabaptists - stated so clearly that these anthems and rituals have no place in Christian formation, he observes.
A leading Mennonite college in the USA has started to play a version of the national anthem. Student David Jost is one of the objectors. He argues that loyalty to the God of Jesus Christ precludes endorsing nationalism and state violence.

Those familiar with our work know that we have spent quite a bit of time evaluating the therapeutic outcomes of marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids. Our recent review of the topic has been downloaded and widely circulated amongst healthcare providers and the general public, worldwide. In that review, we covered the types of fish used, how fish oil is made, sustainability issues, bioavailability differences, quality control concerns and much more; including the research comparing omega-3 fatty acid from fish oil and krill oil. You can get the article as a PDF file here.
Just a month after publishing our paper online, a few more studies comparing fish oil and krill oil were published that initially appeared to suggest that omega-3 fatty acids from krill oil may indeed have a slightly better bioavailability than those from fish oil and/or had triglyceride lowering effects similar to fish oil; but after only a month of scrutiny, these studies are exposed as epic failures of how marketing-driven research leads to bad science and confusing outcomes.
First- as a brief review for those who haven't read our whitepaper. Our position was that the EPA and DHA in krill oil should function in much the same way as EPA and DHA from fish oil- assuming equal amounts of the fatty acid become bioavailable after consumption. The typical claims made by the marketers of krill oil is that, because krill oil omega-3s are delivered as phospholipids (PL, rather than triglycerides), they will have (or have been shown to have) higher bioavailability than fish oil omega-3s. Our whitepaper clearly shows that the studies used by marketers to "prove" such assertions are either not clinically or statistically significant; or are not appropriately designed to make such comparisons. However, the biggest issue is not their failure to prove better bioavailability, or the fact that krill oil appears to be nearly ¼ free fatty acids upon analysis (not all PL as claimed); but the fact that commercially available krill oil products are extremely low in EPA and DHA, while still costing much more than fish oil products (containing much more EPA and DHA). In fact, in the only trial comparing equivalent doses, researchers needed to use 14 krill oil capsules to get the same amount of EPA and DHA as 4 capsules of fish oil.

Emily Blunt hates scary movies, slasher flicks and any
thing up on the big screen that has anything to do with the needless, heedless shedding of blood. But, as the British actress explained to MTV News, she signed up to star with Benicio Del Toro in the gothic horror film "The Wolfman" because along with the frights came amazing makeup effects from the best in the biz, a dark, character-driven story, and a particularly complex relationship with her onscreen co-star.
Now that the "Wolfman" trailer has been released, we can begin to see exactly what had Blunt so excited to take on the role."It's a taboo relationship between Benicio and I, because my character was engaged to his brother," she explained. "Her dead fiancé is found with his guts ripped out by some strange beast. Benicio, the long lost brother, comes back into town to find out what's gone on."
As Benicio begins his man-on-a-mission investigation, he tracks a beast — one whose existence has been rumored for years in this English village — and ends up being attacked. He survives, but the creature has made its mark. Benicio becomes a werewolf. And Blunt, who plays a woman named Gwen Conliffe — "she's the image of purity, which is new for me!" — can't help falling for him despite his rather unusual full-moon habits.
"When I read the script, I thought it had this Greek mythology, this sweeping, gothic, eerie, suspenseful feel to it," she explained. "And then there's a love story. Even though it is terrifying, it's not just about how much blood we can show splashing across the camera."
Makeup whiz Rick Baker created the hirsute look of Del Toro's werewolf, and the trailer proves he is not one of the more family-friendly werewolves like those in "New Moon." And the reaction thus far, Blunt laughed, has been nothing short of staggering — even if the fanboy love has usually been directed at others in the cast and crew.
"We were at Comic-Con last year, and they went insane for Rick Baker," she said. "Benicio they went crazy for because of 'Sin City.' They couldn't have given a flying blop if I was there!"

You can check to see if help is offered in a course via Tutortrac. If you are unsure whether or not your course has tutoring available, you may contact us to see if we have a qualified tutor on staff.
How and when do I register for Small Group Tutoring?
You should register for small group tutoring as early in the semester as possible. A maximum of eight students are allowed to attend each small group session.
To register for Small Group Tutoring, please visit TutorTrac. Do not input a location when searching for groups.
How many courses can I request Small Group Tutoring for?
You can request small group tutoring for as many courses as you want. However, you may only sign up for one hour of tutoring per course per week unless you have direct permission from either Jacqueline Walker (contact information).
Is One-On-One Tutoring available?
Students can receive One-On-One tutoring if we are unable to match them with a group for their subject request. However, if another request for your subject and time is received, then other students may be placed with you and your tutor.
Students with disabilities or other documented needs can receive one-on-one tutoring upon request through Services for Students with Disabilities.
How long are Tutoring sessions?
- Small group tutoring sessions last for 50 minutes.
- Supplemental Instruction (SI) tutoring sessions last between one to two hours.
When will my Small Group Tutoring start?
Small groups begin meeting in the third week of the semester. Depending on the availability of our tutors, you should be able to join a group in as little as 24 hours after signing up for tutoring in Tutortrac. Please stop by the CTAE or call our front desk with any questions regarding the status of your request.
What if I need to miss a Small Group Tutoring session?
Consistent attendance is the corner stone to academic success. Should you need to miss a tutoring session it is required that you contact the CTAE prior to the meeting time of your group. Acceptable means of contact include a phone call to the front desk (773) 508.7708 or an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Any student who has more than 3 absences for the same group in a semester may also be dismissed from that group until they request to return.

Where will my Small Group Tutoring Session occur?
Most small groups will meet in the Center for Tutoring & Academic Excellence (CTAE), Sullivan Center (Room 245) on the Lake Shore Campus. Some groups may be scheduled in alternate locations, as space and need dictates. The last column of the SI schedules will indicate where those services will occur. If you are unsure where your scheduled group is meeting, feel free to call our front desk at 773-507-7708.
What is expected of me in a Small Group Tutoring Session?
The best thing you can do to prepare for your tutoring session is to attend class regularly, take notes, and do your homework - then write down the content areas you would like to address in group, including specific questions. Your peer tutor will be prepared to guide the group in reviewing course material and examining problem areas - but he/she will not be "re-teaching" the material. Your peer tutor can review concepts, help you talk through ideas together, and ask probing questions, but this will be based on the questions you and your groupmates bring to the session.
Participation is key. There are no silly questions! Remember, if you have a question about material, it is highly likely that one or more of your groupmates does too. Be sure to bring your books, assignments, and notes to each session. Also, bring any extra materials like a calculator, charts, or articles that you may need.
What is Supplemental Instruction (SI)?
Supplemental Instruction is an academic assistance program led by peer tutors who have successfully completed the SI course. Tutors will attend the SI course throughout the semester and take notes in order to identify difficult course materials to better facilitate tutoring sessions. In this way tutors are able to lead focused drop in SI sessions that help students learn to blend study skills and course materials while developing other necessary tools to succeed academically.
Currently SI is available for most freshman and sophomore level biology, math, chemistry and physics lecture courses.
For more information about Supplemental Instruction or to view the SI schedule please follow the link here. Students are welcome to join any SI session, regardless of the course section the session is joined to.
What can I expect from my tutor?
Your peer tutor's primary responsibility is to facilitate a learning conversation that helps clarify your questions concerning topics from your class. He/she will be on time and ready to help at every session or will make arrangements with the group to meet at an alternative time/location.
He/she will have the subject area knowledge, training, and resources to effectively guide your group toward academic success.
***Tutors are not allowed to provide the answers to students***
Groups are comprised of 1-8 students and one peer tutor. Most of the students in the group will be from the same course with the same faculty member.
What if I have questions between Small Group Tutoring sessions?
Small group learning is based on the use of your group's resources. Groups are encouraged to exchange emails and stay in contact between meetings for precisely this reason. Some tutors do make themselves available to their groups throughout the week. If this is not the case, the CTAE offers many SI sessions across a wide range of topics to assist you should you not be able to contact anyone in your group. Click here for the current SI schedule.
What are the qualifications of my tutor?
Tutors are sophomores, juniors, seniors or graduate students. Tutors have earned an "A-" or higher in the course they are tutoring and currently have a GPA of 3.2 or higher. Students receive comprehensive training upon hiring and are required to continue their training throughout their employment. Association of The Tutoring Profession (ATP), and the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). Many of our staff have completed the peer tutor certification program that is offered through the CRLA.

The male and female finches are ready to breed when they are eight months old. It is very difficult to differentiate between male and female finches. Males can only be distinguished by their singing habits which they use to attract females. Some finches can easily breed in isolation while other finches would need numerous birds around for breeding.
These lovely birds generally breed during spring season. So if you have a pet finch at home, remember that by the time they are a year old, they are ready to breed. You should pay special attention and care to their nutritional requirements during the breeding stage. An increase in protein content is crucial for females to lay strong shelled eggs. Proteins also help finches lay eggs with a lot of ease. Calcium, and vitamins A and D is also necessary.
Different finches use different materials to build a nest. Some may like to build a nest with grasses, feathers leaves, etc. while others would like to have a nest made up of soft wood shavings. A finch can lay two to ten eggs at a time. The female finch will sit on the eggs to provide warmth. The eggs are generally ready to hatch in twelve to sixteen days. The mothers wean their babies for quite a few months before letting them eat independently.
The Zebra and Society finches are the easiest species to breed. Their strong motherly instinct makes them take care of eggs and babies of other finch species too.

Are they seriously that good? Has anyone ever even backtested their calls? Most of them can't TA for shit.
Maybe its not that they are convincing, but the people following them are easily convinced.
By now, you would think that crypto investors would be a lot more selective about who they follow. I know I am.
Until recently, Bitconnect "spokesmen" were actually considered influencers. Yeah, seriously wtf. It's kind of sad.
You really have to be careful who are the people you're following in this space. Some people are borderline crazy.
I don't even like posting about specific crypto anymore because I know some people are just going to blindly buy it.
No, even if you email me privately, I won't tell you what or when to buy or sell. Please don't email me stupid shit.
Go do your own freaking research before coming into crypto. Like, right now. Shoo.
Anyway, that's just my rant for today.
I just wanted to warn people not to take the words of internet people too seriously.
Only you can be trusted to be the best custodian of your own money.
Not convinced? You can join my signal pump group, and I'll dump on you, haha!

Metro Bank has announced that it has reduced the product fee on its residential five-year fixed rate mortgage range.
According to the lender, borrowers will now pay a product fee of £499, a reduction on the previous fees of between £999 - £1,499.
Charles Morley, director of mortgage distribution at Metro Bank, said: "With the Bank of England base rate increasing last week, we have witnessed customers looking for the security afforded by longer term fixes. A reduced product fee, along with the same great rates and our comprehensive criteria, make our proposition highly attractive for both customers planning to purchase their next home and also those looking to remortgage."
Brian Murphy, head of lending at Mortgage Advice Bureau, added: "In introducing these positive changes to product pricing only days after the BoE base rate increase, Metro Bank have demonstrated that great value mortgage products are still very much in evidence. Combined with some truly excellent criteria more borrowers will be able to realise their ambitions to buy their first home, move house or refinance their existing arrangements."

Hey everyone!
I am so excited to show you all this great product. All information is located below along with links to the product and, of course, my review. So, let's get into it.
Activated Charcoal Odor Absorber
- ELIMINATES ODORS: Utilizes the strong adsorbtion properties of Activated Charcoal to eliminate odors in your refrigerator, closet, bathroom and home. Activated charcoal is an extremely porous material that attracts odor and mold spores to keep your home smelling fresh and mold-free.
- KEEPS FOOD FRESH: Activated charcoal effectively filters out mold spores, contaminants, and other toxic substances that spoil food easily. So, your food will stay fresh longer with the Sagano Refrigerator Deodorizer working for you in your home!
- ALL NATURAL: Activated Charcoal is an all natural ingredient used for centuries across the world to remove odors and filter air. Activated charcoal is renewable and does not pose any threat to the environment. You can dispose with ease and know you aren't hurting the environment.
- LONG LASTING: This activated charcoal odor absorber can be naturally recharged using the power of the sun. Just pull out the activated charcoal packet inside the container and lay out in the sun for a few hours. This naturally restores the power of the activated charcoal so you can use it for up to two years!
- BETTER THAN BAKING SODA: Baking soda is a poor alternative to activated charcoal odor absorbers because it spills easily making a mess in your refrigerator, bathroom, closet and home. It also eventually crusts over when in contact with water, losing its absorbing ability pretty easily; hence needs to be replaced more often.
My Thoughts
I normally have a box of baking soda in my fridge and freezer to keep things fresh and smelling clean. However, having to replace them every month costs a pretty penny and sometimes I completely forget to replace them for a month or more. However, now I won't have to worry about replacing anything for two years.
I placed this odor remover in my fridge a month ago and it is still going strong. I've not noticed any strange smells coming from my fridge or anything like that. Actually, when I open my fridge the air smells nice and fresh.
As for it filtering out mold spores and keeping food fresher longer, I haven't really noticed anything that stands out to me. I think my produce might have been kept much fresher than it had before but I honestly don't know because I try to use it before it spoils.
The best part about this besides it working great is the fact that all you have to do is take out the charcoal packet and place it in the sun for a few hours to reactivate it making it last for around two years. How often you should do this is really up to you but I've looked around and doing this every few months is the best option so that is what I will do.
Right now, I am very happy with this odor absorber and it is working great for my fridge and will be getting more for my freezers.

The newspaper used to live on First St. That closed late last year when the owner (and mayor) fell ill. The library on A Ave. followed on April 1. The wine tasting operation was doing business. But then the owner died. A tourist shop filled with re-purposed furniture and old fashioned soda is still making a go of it and the city's most successful store, Ray's grocery, is king of First St. always boasting activity on an otherwise pin-drop-quiet stretch of road. This is the city of Drain--and it's thriving.
In 2015, the money stopped. A federal program that saw counties getting a cut of the profits when timber was logged on federal land within their boundaries failed to be included in the congressional budget. The 2015 payment of $86.4 million was projected to fall to $7 million this year. Counties that had already been hit by the decrease in funds when environmental laws sided with the spotted owl and timber production slowed, now faced tighter budgets and life or death decisions. Josephine County cut law enforcement positions leading to a crisis of public safety. Douglas County cut all funding to its library system, shutting down all of its branches from Roseburg to Yamhill to Drain.
While the financial hit was a hard one, Drain continued to invest in its future.
"We have a 50 year plan," said city administrator Carl Patenode.
That plan includes the brand new water and sewer lines which will be joined by an $8 million wastewater treatment center that will begin construction this year. The project is being funded 50 percent by grants and the other half is being generated by a loan with a one percent interest rate.
"Financially, we're a good company," said new mayor Rance Pilley. "We sell electricity, water and sewer."
And they do it for much less than their neighboring municipalities.
While water bills can run up to $100 in Cottage Grove and utilities account for a large portion of rent payments in Eugene, Drain residents boast much smaller bills.
"The monthly water bill is $31," said Patenode. The sewer bill, he says is "high" due to the new project, coming in at $69 a month. The utilities are run like co-ops and the city makes enough money to keep the lights on and continue offering the services to residents. "Eggs are cheaper in the country," Patenode jokes. Drain does levy a tax that generates approximately $70,000 a year with a total city budget estimated at six million. "We don't have a lot of extra money," Patenode said. "We live within our means."
Patenode retired from his position as city administrator in November after 20 years. He was hired by the city as an interim city administrator that same month. He never missed a day of work. On a Thursday morning, his desk is covered. Stacks of paper decorate the surface more so than photos and mementos. He's technically a part-time employee now, leaving just nine full-time positions in the city, but his workload hasn't decreased. He sits across from Pilley who, he says got the gig as mayor like any other small-town position, he raised his hand.
The appointment came after the former mayor resigned after winning the election due to health concerns. At the time, Patenode said he was concerned about filling the vacancy. Pilley, who had been on the city council since the 1990s, said he felt the city needed a "stable force." "We were looking for a new administrator and one of the council members who was elected was brand new," he said.
Now, the two men sit face-to-face overlooking Patenode's stacks of paper to assess the positive and negative attributes of Drain. "The library is closed," Pilley said. The doors shuttered after Douglas County commissioners voted TO stop funding them in the wake of a financial shortfall. Efforts to sustain the library locally are underway but Pilley doesn't know what that would look like. A group of citizens has formed a friends of the library group to explore funding options, but so far they've come up empty handed. Other options floating around the county, such as turning the buildings into reading rooms, haven't garnered much support in Drain.
"The county pulled the rug out from the entire library system and we don't know what the future will bring for the libraries," he said. "But the suggestion of a reading room hasn't had a lot of support."
Currently, the city of Drain provides the maintance for the building and the county has yet to pull its collection of books. However, groups are hesitant to take over day-to-day operation of the library without an agreement in place that would free them of any responsibility for the books. "We don't know what's going to happen," Pilley said. The closure of the library signalled a new era for the county, and for Drain it served as a reminder that vital services may be next on the chopping block.
Under Pilley's direction in January, the city council discussed how to urge the county to start a planning process to "ensure we'll have sheriff services," Pilley said. "We want to make sure we don't go through the same thing as the library where it goes to the end and then they just shut it off." Currently, 50 percent of Drain's general fund goes to the sheriff services contract with Douglas County.
When Dorothy Cooper was a girl, the bridal shop was a lumber store. Then a shoe repar shop, a building supply store, a donut shop and a western store. There's still timber up in the attic but down on the main floor, racks and racks of bridal wear attract customers from neighboring towns. Business, though, is still slow.
"It's been rough," she says, noting that the recession took out half of First St. "We got through trembling."
She mans the counter for her daughter, who owns the shop. It's easier, she says, to host the business in Drain where soccer games and parent-teacher conferences don't take her daughter away from the shop for the hour they would if Exclusively Bridal was located in Eugene, as originally intended. A sign hangs behind the counter, citing Ephesians 5:22 and the bell on the door that signals a bride to be on the hunt for a dress hasn't rung this morning. Despite this, Cooper says the shop can pay its bills and business as slowly returned even if the residents of First St. haven't.
"The store is in it's 23rd year," she said. "We get people still coming in, looking for their wedding dress."
Terrie Cosby still has folks stopping at her store too but with a recent accident closing a vital bridge, she's worried that just when her busy season should be starting, the Trading Post will face a lull.
"Winter is good for classes," she said. "But when it starts getting warm, I get a lot of tourists stopping in."
Cosby's shop is a collection of repurposed furniture, knick-knacks and most recently, an old fashioned soda shop with ice cream and rock candy. She rents out space to vendors who sell everything from handmade finger puppets to western wear to soap and rocks. "Believe it or not, I sell a fair amount of rocks," she said.
The building she occupies now is one of the few still welcoming customers on First St. But it's not where she started. Cosby was originally running the Trading Post on the outskirts of town. "They called it the Trading Post because that was the big sign. People also called it the Road Kill Grill," she said. But that was two years ago. The building burned down and sent Cosby looking for a new home.
Her new location was built in the 1900s and she took possession of it last year. These days, rocks are selling but they're not the backbone of her business. "We're in a period of repurpose," she said. That's why she sells transfers; designs that can be mounted to furniture, walls or windows. Some of the furniture in the store already has a transfer applied to its surface while other pieces lay bare, ready for customers to use any of the available transfers Cosby has for sale to transform.
Cooper and Cosby are making it work in Drain's downtown but a new arrival is set to draw more customers and while some are excited about its debut, others worry. Dollar General will be taking the place of an old automotive repair shop that was recently demolished to make room for the chain store. "I'm worried about Ray's," said Cooper. The city's only full-fledged grocery store has been hosting Fantastic Fridays and advertises rib roast for $7.99 and pound. While Dollar General isn't likley to encroach on the store's meat sales, it may take a bite out other product revenue. "It will be good for that side of town," Pilley said.
Patenode hopes to leave his desk by June. But he won't be going far.
"I'll be taking a position with the city as a project manager because I don't want to see the treatment center fail," he said.
That steady hand, however, is what Pilley says makes the difference between Drain and other agencies. "We have a small staff but the state and federal staffs change so much that sometimes we have to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to so we can get the project done," he said. Residents will get the new water treatment plant and the city's new water and sewer lines will keep serious repairs at bay for years.
But people will still have to travel into Cottage Grove and Eugene for some of the basics. There's no drug store in Drain. The health clinic closed last year. There is a doctor in town but according to Patenode, she's only open "sometimes." For emergencies, Eugene is still the best bet despite the hour-long drive. The drive-thru coffee shop is still open but for a cup of Starbuck's or Dutch Bros., it will mean a trip. So will buying a new car. The two car lots have packed it up and moved on.
"We're out of room now," Patenode said of the little city that isn't looking to grow. Dollar General will mark the first new construction in years and according to Pilley and Patenode, that's fine by them. "All of our industrial properties are full," Patenode said. "We're a small city and I think people like it that way. We are happy."

The Shack
Mackenzie Phillips is a man lost in "The Great Sadness". Lost from God, from his family, and from any sort of real happiness. His youngest daughter, Missy, was brutally murdered in an abandoned shack in the mountains while on a family camping trip four years earlier, and Mackenzie is having a hard time moving on with his life. He receives a suspicious letter from "Papa", inviting him to go back to the shack to find some answers, and incredulously, he does return to the focal point of his sadness. What he finds there, is supposed redemption.
I don't know what to say about this book. I didn't really like it, but I'm not a big fan of religious fiction or even self help books for that matter because of too much information in too small of a space. I would rather read these types of books in stages when the need arises, rather than in one big gulping swallow.
The writing was sub par and the dialog choppy and unrealistic in the beginning but improved as the book moved along, until really there are only pages upon pages of dialog. I could barely draw breath. Young not only likes to say his point over and over, he means to stomp it into your brain until you know nothing else.
At the same time, I can see why so many people like this book. Young manages to make God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost more relatable and human in a scary world where religion has become out of reach for some. The Shack is Young's personal guide to finding your own way through the murkiness and sludge that make up the problems in our world today. His opinions are rarely theologically or scripturally based, but rather, perhaps, a way he's learned to handle the grief in his life. If that helps other people, fine by me.
But, for me personally, it was just too much. 2 Stars.

Now don't take my word for it, because alot of people - including your niece, right Suzette? - really like this book. I'm just not a fan of religious fiction, unless it's exceptional, like the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I liked that one.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe could be read by someone and they possibly could miss the religious correlations and overtones. You can't miss those in The Shack. I speed read it, even teared up at the end, and didn't like it. It just doesn't mesh with my own beliefs. I give it a BLECH! It still makes me think of the movie Oh God! with George Burns and John Denver. I think I could handle George Burns better as God than the depictions in The Shack. If you're LDS you'll understand that I'm taking the 11th Article of Faith on this one.

2 John Contemporary English Version (CEV)
1 From the church leader.[a]
To a very special woman and her children.[b] I truly love all of you, and so does everyone else who knows the truth. 2 We love you because the truth is now in our hearts, and it will be there forever.
3 I pray that God the Father and Jesus Christ his Son will be kind and merciful to us! May they give us peace and truth and love.
Truth and Love
4 I was very glad to learn that some of your children are obeying the truth, as the Father told us to do. 5 Dear friend, I am not writing to tell you and your children to do something you have not done before. I am writing to tell you to love each other, which is the first thing you were told to do. 6 Love means that we do what God tells us. And from the beginning, he told you to love him.
7 Many liars have gone out into the world. These deceitful liars are saying that Jesus Christ did not have a truly human body. But they are liars and the enemies of Christ. 8 So be sure not to lose what we[c] have worked for. If you do, you won't be given your full reward. 9 Don't keep changing what you were taught about Christ, or else God will no longer be with you. But if you hold firmly to what you were taught, both the Father and the Son will be with you. 10 If people won't agree to this teaching, don't welcome them into your home or even greet them. 11 Greeting them is the same as taking part in their evil deeds.
Final Greetings
12 I have much more to tell you, but I don't want to write it with pen and ink. I want to come and talk to you in person, because that will make us[d] really happy.
13 Greetings from the children of your very special sister.[e]

80% of the workforce in the Kenyan economy is tied to agriculture. Some of the major products exported from central Kenya include tea, coffee, and macadamia nuts. The journey of these goods is much more complex and convoluted than most people would believe. The supply chains are inefficient and the farmers who grow the nuts receive a very small portion of the money ultimately paid by the final consumers.
Often times, farmers cannot capitalize on the power of the local farming community due to communication restraints. For instance, if a tomato farmer needed to transport goods to a distribution center he would have no way of exploring options within the local farming community. The farmer could send out a single text that would reach the entire WishVast tomato farming community. From there, he could find responses for offers to bundle goods, share transportation costs, or information on current pricing.

The Book Itself: The dust jacket is textured – every strut in the window pane is raised, as if it were really there. Cool touch, almost eerie. I've loved French's simple yet skin-tingly covers ever since her first. Her books have included a dusty mirror, a white empty room, vines taking over the title letters, and the peeling boards of an old house.
My Review: I've got to be honest with you: I go into reading this book, and writing this review a little biased. But only in the sense that I've loved this author's work consistently. Even in the lackluster additions to the series, she somehow manages to be good. I've written down many a quote from her books because she's just do damn good at writing a sentence. Plus, all the characters speak in Irish slang, so that's pretty fun.
The Secret Place does what French has done for her whole series: takes a character that had a small role in one book and makes him or her the star of a different mystery. Stephen Moran, our protagonist detective in Secret Place, played a role in the investigation in Faithful Place, the third in French's series (more on the series installments below this review). In fact, it is Frank Mackey's (the main detective in Faithful Place) daughter who provides a clue that reopens a case from a year ago at an all-girl's Catholic school. A boy from the nearby boy's school is found dead on the grounds of the girl's school, and the murderer was never found. Moran brings the new evidence to the head detective of the case a year ago, Antoinette Conway, hoping that this will get him a foot in the door to be a part of the Murder Squad. Conway allows him to take the lead on a lot of the interviews, as he shows skill for tailoring his approach to each girl interviewed and Conway herself is, well…a bit prickly.
This book does what French's other books haven't done: half of the narrative is told from the girls' perspective, the suspects and victim's perspectives (and which count down ominously. In each flashback, Chris Harper is steadily given less time to live – three months and two weeks, then two months, then three weeks, etc.)
My issues: I think the book takes place over a single 24-hour period. Stretching 24-hours over over 400 pages is just that: a stretch. Even though the mindless string of interviews is interspersed with those glimpses into the school life and deeply personal friendships of the girls, it starts to feel tedious.
And it seems to be a rather weird theme in French's books that a little something takes place that is never explained. I'm hesitant to tell you what that thing is in Secret Place, but let's just say that there are ghosts and levitation involved, and I think it should have been given way more room to develop, or it should not have been included.
And the detectives! Way too much time is spent going through all eight girls involved (two groups of four friends who try to point the blame to the other), that no real attention is spent on our detectives! This probably threw me off the most, because in French's other books, the detectives were real focal points. Their personal lives were enmeshed with the cases. They had histories. All that I know of Moran and Conway are that Moran wants in, and Conway is on thin ice because she couldn't get a solve a year ago. And she's a woman, so she gets a lot of crap from the male Murder detectives. For a 400+ page tome, I want to know the people who are solving the case with me, know what I mean?!
The But: BUT, French is so good at wrap-up. The conclusions of her mysteries are by far my favorite parts. The last hundred pages must be devoured in one sitting, because that's how you figure out the big hows and whys. Secret Place is no different. I get the most character out of our detectives here. Not that I get a lot of backstory out of them, but they show conflict, they show depth of emotion. Within twenty pages, there is great failure and then great breakthrough. And I was wrong about whodunit this time! I called someone early on and it was someone else.
Overall, it's kind of a departure from her other mysteries, but French kept me reading, like always. I kind of want the stony Conway to be the focus of the next installment!
My Grade: C
Where French has been before:
In the Woods follows Rob Ryan, our first detective on the Dublin Murder Squad. Ryan was discovered, as a child, clutching a tree trunk in the woods behind his house, with scratches all down his back and his shoes filled with blood. His playmates are never found. Unfortunately, that spine-tingly premise is not the focus of this story, which solves a murder right next to those same woods. In fact (and this is a tad spoiler-y, so read the next sentence at your own risk): you never find out what happened to Ryan in the woods as a kid. And it's not hinted at in following books, as might be expected. It's a pet peeve of mine, that it is never resolved. But the story is immersive and bittersweet the whole way through. French's style hooked me into reading the rest of her series.
The Likeness is my favorite so far in the series. If you can suspend your disbelief that our main character this time – Cassie Maddox (the partner of Rob Ryan in In the Woods) looks so similar to the murder victim that she can go undercover as the victim and live among the victim's roommates…it's a great ride of a story. It's probably the least eeries of the series, but it's so, so solid.
Faithful Place follows Frank Mackey, Cassie Maddox's undercover mentor. He returns to his hometown (and sometimes vicious family), to revisit the disappearance of the girl he was slated to run away with as a young man. Honestly, this one's my least favorite, and I can't tell you much more about it, 1) because that would be major spoilers and 2) I honestly don't remember all the intricate twists and turns. I sort of remember whodunit, but I don't remember the reasoning/the twists along the way.
Broken Harbor is my second favorite of the series. It follows Scorcher Kennedy, a colleague of Frank Mackey. And it's the eeriest, the saddest, the one with the most atmosphere, in my opinion. A father and two children are found dead in a half-built string of estate houses. But there are video cameras pointing at holes in all the walls of the house. And Kennedy's mother committed suicide in the same resort town many years ago. So it's gets understandably complicated.

WASHINGTON � Seeking to regain their budget footing versus President Barack Obama, Republicans controlling the House are moving quickly to try to defuse a potential debt crisis with legislation to prevent a first-ever U.S. default for at least three months.
WASHINGTON � Seeking to regain their budget footing versus President Barack Obama, Republicans controlling the House are moving quickly to try to defuse a potential debt crisis with legislation to prevent a first-ever U.S. default for at least three months.
The Republicans are giving up for now on trying to extract spending cuts from Democrats in return for an increase in the government�s borrowing cap. But the respite promises to be only temporary, with the stage still set for major battles between the GOP and Obama over taxes, spending and deficits.
The first step comes Wednesday with a House vote on GOP-sponsored legislation that would give the government enough borrowing leeway to meet three months� worth of obligations, delaying a showdown next month that Republicans fear they would lose.
Netanyahu may
narrowly win vote
JERUSALEM � In a stunning setback, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu�s hard-line bloc fared worse than expected in a parliamentary election Tuesday, exit polls showed, possibly forcing the incumbent Israeli leader to invite surprisingly strong moderate rivals into his government and soften his line toward the Palestinians.
TV exit polls showed the hard-liners with about 61 seats in the 120-seat parliament, a bare majority, and the counts could change as actual votes are tallied.
The unofficial TV results had Netanyahu winning only 31 seats, though he combined his Likud Party with the far-right Yisrael Beitenu for the voting. Running separately four years ago, the two won 42 seats. He expected to increase that total by running together, but the combined list�s poll results dipped steadily throughout the three-month campaign.
Poll: Many say let illegal immigrants stay in U.S.
WASHINGTON � More than 6 in 10 Americans now favor allowing illegal immigrants to eventually become U.S. citizens, a major increase in support driven by a turnaround in Republicans� opinions after the 2012 elections.
The finding, in a new Associated Press-GfK poll, comes as the Republican Party seeks to increase its meager support among Latino voters, who turned out in large numbers to help-re-elect President Barack Obama in November.
Emboldened by the overwhelming Hispanic backing and by shifting attitudes on immigration, Obama has made overhauling laws about who can legally live in the U.S. a centerpiece of his second-term agenda. In the coming weeks, he�s expected to aggressively push for ways to create an eventual pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in this country.
The poll results suggest that the public overall, not just Hispanics, will back his efforts. Sixty-two percent of Americans now favor providing a way for illegal immigrants in the U.S. to become citizens, an increase from just 50 percent in the summer of 2010, the last time the AP polled on the question.
40 years after Roe v. Wade, abortion foes march on
TOPEKA, Kan. � Abortion opponents marked the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision Tuesday with workshops, prayers and calls for more limits on the rights established by the Supreme Court in the landmark ruling that still defines one of the nation�s most intractable debates.
Many in the anti-abortion movement looked to Kansas, where Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signed a series of tough anti-abortion measures during his first two years in office. Other states with GOP governors and Republican-controlled legislatures have taken similar steps.
�There�s joy in what you�re doing and keep it up,� Brownback urged hundreds of fellow abortion opponents at a rally outside the Kansas Statehouse. �Keep marching. Keep moving.�
Abortion-rights groups observed a quieter anniversary � a possible reflection of the reality that it�s far rarer for lawmakers to expand access to abortion. The National Organization for Women planned a candlelight vigil at the Supreme Court to commemorate the 1973 decision, which created a constitutional right to abortions in some circumstances and prevented states from banning the practice.
Sheriff: NM teen planned random shooting spree
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. � The New Mexico teenager accused of gunning down five family members over the weekend ambushed his father as he returned home from an overnight shift at a rescue mission, then reloaded his rifles and planned to go to a Wal-Mart and randomly shoot people, authorities said Tuesday.
Instead, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego texted a picture of his dead mother to his 12-year-old girlfriend, then spent much of Saturday with the girl and her family, authorities said. That evening, the teen went to the church where his father had been a pastor, and Griego eventually confessed to killing his parents and three younger siblings.
�The motive, as articulated by the suspect, was purely that he was frustrated with his mother,� Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said. �He did not give any further explanation.�
Houston said Griego had planned the shootings for at least a week, but it�s unclear if he ever actually went to a Wal-Mart or why he changed his mind about continuing the attack, which occurred the same day thousands of gun advocates gathered peacefully at state capitals around the country to rally against stricter limits on firearms.
The �Guns Across America� events were being held just after President Barack Obama unveiled a sweeping package of federal gun-control proposals.
Griego told detectives he also contemplated killing his girlfriend�s parents, Houston said.

Lombard Firefighter Robert "Bob" Hopper was recently presented the highly esteemed VFW Public Servant Award by the Lilac VFW Post 5815 for his dedicated service to the Lombard community.
Firefighter/Paramedic Bob Hopper has worked for the Lombard Fire Department for 9 years and is recognized by his peers as a leader who is willing to take on any job with great willingness and professionalism according to Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Howell. "Bob has a reputation of going beyond what he is asked to do in the spirit of service to those in need. He's even known as 'Fireman Bob Square Pants' by the Lombard schoolchildren who he has taught fire safety to for the past 8 years," said Howell.
Hopper's contributions to the Lombard community include initiating and heading the Lombard Fire Department's Pink Shirt Campaign, a fundraiser that allows firefighters, residents and Village staff to purchase a shirt designed by Hopper, with the proceeds going to help cancer patients in treatment at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, IL. The campaign recently celebrated its second year and almost $2,500. Hopper also volunteers as a Lombard Fire Department delegate to the annual Wii Bowling Tournament at Beacon Hill Senior Living Center, and has raised money in cooking competitions benefiting child burn victims.

Home > Why eNZed Paramedical > Testimonials
"My husband and I had been thinking about working in New Zealand. I had
seen an advert for eNZed Paramedical and decided to make some inquires. The
Higgins were very helpful, friendly and informative at this time. Two
years later we made the big move with the support and professional
advice of eNZed Paramedical. They really took on board our requests for
types of jobs and localities, they worked with us and utilised their
contacts with District Health Boards to reach the best job fit.
The whole process was professionally handled, but above all John and Christine Higgins provided us with invaluable advice and support which eased this major life transition. They were also the first friends we made in NZ and still remain great pals!"
"After spending 3 years working in the NHS, I decided to come to New Zealand to work and expand my career opportunities. I'd heard great things from other physiotherapists and was excited about a change of lifestyle that New Zealand could offer.
By looking on the CSP website, I found eNZed Paramedical and proceeded to contact them. Throughout the process of obtaining registration, looking for a job, sorting out a visa etc, John and Christine have been extremely helpful along every step of the way. They are both dedicated to make it as easy as possible for you, which, for me was very pertinent as I was travelling alone. Their in-depth knowledge of the New Zealand health care system and factors contributing towards working in New Zealand has been tremendous.
I would recommend them to any health care professional coming to New Zealand. If you want a reliable and knowledgeable source, choose eNZed Paramedical."
"I thought that I would drop you a line to tell you how very much I have
enjoyed being in New Zealand. I finished work yesterday. It really is such a
great place to work. My work colleagues quickly became my friends who I am
so going to miss! I am very grateful for having been linked up with them by
I am finishing off my time in New Zealand with my mum who arrives tomorrow. We are planning some travel before leaving New Zealand and heading back to cold England. What more can I say other than that this has been the best thing I have ever done. New Zealand is definitely in my blood now so who knows I could be back again one day—I need to work on my family to get them over here too!"
"Due to the help & support of eNZed Paramedical, I have been able to find employment as an O.T; split between the local Home Health Care Team & Aged Care Units. When we arrived in New Zealand, my first priority was settling my young son into school & eNZed Paramedical understood my anxieties.
It was a life line having John & Christine to talk to about domestic & professional issues! Since being in work for several months now & in New Zealand for 6 months, it has been great to know that I can still contact John & Christine. I would have been very lost and extra stresses added to an already stressful situation, if I had not had the expertise of eNZed Paramedical working on my behalf!"
I had contacted some of the 'international' agencies and to be honest I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of earning money off me. You definitely got the impression you were just meat in a processor. However, that is not the case with eNZed.
Christine is fantastic at is preparing you for telephone interviews, giving advice on salary grades etc. as the job descriptions seem to be very generic. Christine is able to 'fill in the gaps', so to speak, as she has a good knowledge of the health boards, how they operate, the services etc. and can give you supporting information. I would definitely recommend them, they listen to what you want and really do try to match your requirements.
"We arrived jobless and with colds in rainy Auckland, fortunately we had been given eNZed Paramedical's number from the New Zealand Society of Physiotherapy. eNZed Paramedical were not only very professional but very kind and genuine—we stayed with the owners whilst we recovered from our colds and organised jobs. It only took a few days to sort out jobs and the positions we accepted were just what we were looking for—eNZed really listened to our thoughts on where we wanted to work and what type of job we were looking for. We thoroughly recommend eNZed Paramedical—they were brilliant."
"eNZed Paramedical provided me with a professional yet personal service that not only enabled me to commence work, but also guided and supported me in embarking on life in New Zealand. I felt I could have asked them anything and that they would always answer promptly. It was those little `extras' that made the whole process go smoother and easier."
"While it took some time to focus in on what area I wanted in New Zealand, once locked into this process eNZed Paramedical proved to be what I had hoped for; communicative, highly efficient and giving objective advice -added to this was a very human side that both calmed me prior to interview but looked out for my well being once contractual details were being discussed. I would recommend them to anyone who seeks to do what I have achieved, thankfully, with their help."

Who says Paleo lunches have to be boring?
After combing through all the Paleo meal ideas on my blog (and in my cookbook and app), are you still stumped about what to pack your kiddos (or yourself) for your mid-day meal? If so, don't despair! Review this summary—devoted entirely to packed lunches.
Before I dive into the links, I have a few final reminders:
- Some eaters—big or small—enjoy variety, while others like the same thing every day. But no matter what, make sure to pack real, nourishing foods: some protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and fruit. When I'm prepping lunches for the kiddos, I try to remember the Golden Rule of Lunches: Don't pack anything in the kids' lunchboxes that I wouldn't happily eat myself.
- At the same time, don't be paralyzed by high-falutin' notions of crafting a perfectly precious bento. Each year, Jackie Linder (my friend and creator of LunchBots) and I spend an entire afternoon preparing these boxes to look as tempting as possible—our aim is to inspire readers to make awesome lunches!—but let's get real: our kids' lunchboxes aren't nearly so photogenic in real life. When I'm rushing to get the kids out the door in the morning, garnishes and visual flourishes are the last thing on my mind. (Here's an example of what Big-O typically brings to school.)
- Lastly: Get your kids involved in picking foods and packing their own lunches! If they have a say in selecting items from your real-food pantry, their food is more likely to end up in their bellies rather than the garbage can or trade box.
Okay—to review, here are the lunches from this year's series (click on each image to read more):
Chicken Salad, Roasted Carrot & Cucumber Stacks with Dip, Crunchy Paleo Crackers, and Strawberries
Meat Loaf Muffins, Plantain Chips, and Paleo Ranch Dressing with Vegetables
Damn Fine Chicken, Roasted Vegetables, Fruit, and Liar Bars
Meat 'n Potatoes: Roast Beef Roll-Ups, Bacon-y Potato Salad, Cherry Tomatoes & Cucumbers with Pesto Mayo, and Cinnamon Swirl Chocolate Banana Bread
Brunch-In-A-Box: Blinis with Smoked Salmon, Bacon & Eggs, and Fruit & Veggies
I know—you want more, right? Then take a gander at my lunch series from 2014:
Hot-Dog-As-The-Buns with Roasted Peppers and Sauerkraut, Vegetables, and Mixed Berries
Spicy Tuna Cakes with Crudités and Flavored Paleo Mayonnaise
Zucchini & Smoked Salmon Pinwheels with Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus and Roasted Beets
Cracklin' Chicken, Heirloom Carrots, Tomato & Basil Salad, and Macaroons
Egg Foo Young, Garbage Soup, and Fruit Salad
Salad with Seared Prosciutto-Wrapped Peaches
Crab Salad Stuffed Tomatoes and Lazy Devils
Bonus: Snacks!
Not enough to satisfy your appetite? Then don't forget to read up on my lunch series from 2013:
Sausage Patties, Apple Sun-wich, Veggie Skewers, and Paleo Ranch Dressing
Egg & Prosciutto Roll-Ups, Mini Cinnamon Apple Scone, and Mixed Fruit Salad
My Sister's Green Chicken, Crudités, and Roasted Rosemary Almonds
Asian Meatballs with Bell Peppers & Blanched Broccoli
Peachy Pork Lettuce Wraps and Cherry Tomatoes
Every time I run a series on lunches, I get a bunch of questions from readers, many of them centering on: (1) how to keep hot foods hot, (2) how to keep cold foods cold, and (3) how to feed adults (and bigger kids) whose appetites exceed the portion sizes pictured in our photos. Our answers:
- Use an insulated food container like a LunchBots Thermal to keep hot foods hot!
- Toss an ice pack or two into your lunch bag to keep cold food cold! Alternatively, you can buy a PackIt freezable lunch bag which has coolant sewn inside the bag! Get one here.
- Satiate bigger appetites by packing more food!
Remember: these meal ideas are simply meant to get your creative juices flowing—not to strictly mandate what your lunch needs to look like. So start dreaming up your own uniquely tasty lunchboxes!
What? You want more? Okay—let's jump into our handy-dandy time machine and visit the series of Paleo lunches I made with LunchBots way back in 2012!
Prosciutto-Wrapped Frittata Muffins & Apple Slices with Nut Butter
Simple Chicken Salad, Blanched Carrots and Broccoli, Paleo Trail Mix, and Flavored Mayonnaise
Zoodles & Meatballs with Pineapple and Strawberry Kabobs
Roast Beef Roll-Ups and Mixed Berries
Hard-Boiled Eggs, Chicken Apple Sausages, Cherry Tomatoes, and Grapes

Volume 4 August 2017
Counselor's Corner
You Can't Change…or Can You?
Over the past months my heart has been very heavy. When trying to ask others for support for our ministry I began to have a clear understanding of just how other humans view those who have engaged in criminal activity. My goal shifted and I began to try and find a healthy way to educate the communities regarding criminal thought process. My thoughts kept going to Human Activist and the need to get one on board, but that too was shattered when I was told many will support other Human rights but few will support humans who commit a crime. In fact most of the people I have spoke with think criminals got what they deserved. Slowly I began to find myself becoming more and more interested in educating our communities. But how? A few weeks ago I got a letter from a young man who spoke of his story before his criminal story. Going back through other letters we have received I started to notice a pattern. I am guessing here but I would almost bet not one person in prison today grew up saying when I grow up I am going to live in prison. I would also bet not one was born with the behaviors that landed them in the place they are. See all behaviors are learned and anything learned can be unlearned. The problem most people have is those behaviors have now become a habit. In order to make a new habit you have to throw out the old story and begin to write a new story. Each new chapter in your life can be a new start and the best part is the old story can be thrown out. Is this easy? Heck no, probably the hardest thing you will do but the end results will change the direction of your life.
My goal is to write a book to assist with educating the community. Here is where you can help. I need a few of y'all to assist me in writing this book. I would like to include your story before the story i.e. what led up to your crime and I would like to get your family involved as well. Only first names will be used to protect your privacy. I will respond to each letter I receive and include my response in this book. Each and everyone of you deserve the opportunity to show society that you are good people regardless of your crime. This task will not be easy as there is a lot of work that will need to be done to assist in educating and changing society's beliefs. If you truly want to enter back into society as a new person you have to be willing to not just speak differently but also show a behavioral change as well. In other words you agree to not violate society's rules or cause harm towards another human and you agree to become a productive member of society.
All proceeds earned by the sale of the book will go towards building a Farm for TCIY Ministries so men and women have a place to parole out to. And to assist with educating the community. If you are interested in helping please write and let us know and I will send out more information.
From the Minister's Desk
Carla and I started a new study recently by Ted Dekker called The Forgotten Way. The last few weeks have been full of information that I have never heard before. Or maybe I heard it, but never really HEARD it! The Memory Verse in this newsletter is one of those things. We are seated with Christ in heavenly realms. Now…not when we die, but right now.
Another thing that made…makes, me scratch my head is that we are children of God, and because we are children of God, Jesus is our brother. Now I get I am a child of God, but I have never thought that Jesus was my brother because of it! I am an only child so I did not experience what it was like to have an older brother. I do have two sons and I have experienced, more than once, the protection that this bond brings out in one or the other. This opens my eyes to a different perspective, Jesus as the older brother, protects me from things that could do me harm! And when I do have a run in with something that affects me, He is right there, the first one on the scene to make sure that I am okay. That is pretty amazing!
No matter what it looks like, no matter how it feels, our "Big Brother" is with us every step of the way, we just need to trust that He has our back, He is in control.
No matter how it looks…God's got this!
Quote of the day
"Everyone has inside of them a piece of good news. The good news is you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!"
Anne Frank
Existing on the Outside
We have been looking at starting a support type group for family members who have loved ones on the inside. I believe it will be on the first Saturday of the month, probably beginning in September.
The base for the group will be a book by Carol Kent called Waiting Together, Hope and Healing for Families of Prisoners. The author's son was arrested and is currently serving a life sentence. This book shares what Carol and her husband have and are going through during this time in their lives.
We hope that this will be beneficial to all who choose to participate.
Funny THoughts of the Day
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, while dish washing liquid is made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
Why is it that if someone tells you that there are one billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
Smile, it makes them wonder what you are up to…
What's the difference between a hippo and a zippo?
One is really heavy, and the other is a little lighter.
My friend says to me: "What rhymes with orange?" I said: "no it doesn't". (that one makes me giggle every time I read it, LOL)
Ministry Update
Finally after almost 18 months we filed our 501c3 with the Internal Revenue Office. We received the approval letter which means we are now an official non-profit public charity donations may be taxable to the extent allowed by law.
We are EXCITED!
Now the fun begins!!
Also, to make it easier for folks to donate, we have a PayPal account set up. One click of a button on our website and the donation goes directly into TCIY's account!
Memory Verse
But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-6 NLT

"If you don't work, you can't eat."
– Bobby Byrd, 1970
Welcome to my portfolio site, the majority of which was quaintly designed and "coded" (cough) in 2008. I'm in the midst of updating, so please accept my apologies for page inconsistency. In the meantime click here for a selection of my print & online design from 1994 to now. For better examples of my HTML & CSS expertise, view source at islandtechnologies.net, eismanmarketing.com, mlaskincare.com, stephanieweaver.co.uk, the Arras-based Wordpress site goforfilming.com, and this very page (which, incidentally, will look and behave its best in Safari and Chrome). At that point we can discuss the pros and cons of tableless layout at your convenience. Talk to you soon.
