Advent Giving Tree and Hat/Mitten Tree
November 23 to December 8
Starting on the weekend of November 23/24, you will see a basket with the Advent Giving Tree tags in it. Both the Advent Giving Tree and the Hat & Mitten Tree will be up in the Gathering Space starting on the weekend of November 30/December 1.
For the Advent Giving Tree, take a tag from the tree and return the wrapped gift (unless tag says "gift wrap not necessary"), with the tag attached, and place under the Giving Tree by Sunday, December 9. For the Hat & Mitten Tree, place hats, mittens or gloves, and socks on the tree, and place books in the baskets under the tree.
Check out the information below to learn more about who we are serving this year. Follow the links to go to their websites. We partner with all of them in various ways throughout the year. Browse around—maybe you will find other, new ways to get involved.
As this Advent tradition continues at St. Robert's, these organizations have come to rely on our generosity. Often the gift you purchase may be the only one the person will receive at Christmas. By the time we are done, hundreds of gifts will be distributed. Thank you for being the light of Christ in the lives of so many in our community!
Merrimack Valley Catholic Charities
Part of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Boston, Merrimack Valley Catholic Charities operates in Lawrence, Lowell, and Haverhill.

Si, Se Puede (Spanish for "Yes, it is possible") is a multi-service neighborhood program based in the Merrimack Courts Housing Project in the lower Tower Hill area of Lawrence, MA. Their primary purpose is to provide educational, social, and economic support for low-income Lawrence youth and their families. We will be providing wish list gifts for children ages 7-17.

We will be providing gifts (mostly toys but also some warm hats & mittens for adults, too) for distribution to those in need who are served through St. Mary's Tree of Life Food Pantry and other local ministries.
Father's House
My Father's House is a ministry offering pregnant teens a home and support through their pregnancy while teaching essential life skills to help prepare the girls for the responsibilities of adulthood and parenting. Mothers in the program are required to be full time students and keep their grade point level above average. The girls are responsible for all the chores of the home including planning, shopping for, and cooking meals for the entire home on a rotating basis. They are also responsible for the care of their babies. They are also offered courses on computer use, budgeting, health care, nutrition, independent living, job hunting, etc. We will be providing them with gift cards to Walmart, Market Basket, and gas stations to help with day to day expenses.
Bread & Roses
Bread & Roses is a soup kitchen in Lawrence, MA, that fulfills its mission to ease the hungers in our community by providing guests with a hot, nutritious evening meal and distributing food, clothing, and basic life necessities to those most in need. We will be providing white bath towels for them. It is not necessary to Christmas gift wrap these, as they will be kept on hand for distribution to those in need as they come to the soup kitchen, not as Christmas presents but as part of the daily mission of Bread & Roses.
St. Ann's Home & School
St. Ann's in Methuen offers private day programs and residential services for children and teens, designed to nurture, rehabilitate, and support those who are emotionally and or behaviorally disturbed. On our Hat & Mitten tree we collect hats, mittens, and socks, as well as books for their library (age range is 2-16). Christmas gift wrapping is not necessary—just place hats/mittens/socks on tree, and books in the baskets under the tree.

The no-frills yet deeply gripping manner this film uses to document this brave soldier's struggle for survival, then in rehab, should draw a salute from military personnel and civilians as well.

March 13, 2008
Though Maryland's Uniformed Services University has been dubbed "Useless U" and has come close to being shuttered, Terry Sanders' simply shot digital film is an inelegant but potent argument for its existence.

Picking the car up went fine and I was driving through Paris to get back to my apartment to pick the girls up when I somehow ended up on a street from which it was NOT possible to make a left. I'd missed the Rue de Rivoli and was headed north, convinced that I wouldn't be able to go left until I hit Brussels, when Reamur-Sebastopol swooped in and saved the day. We piled in and drove up to the Normandy coast, stopping at the D-Day beaches, Mont St. Michel, and the Bayeux Tapestry, paying French highway tolls all along the way.
The only other glitch to the weekend was the fact that I seem to be going blind. We had only gone about 15km when I realized that I have to squint to see the signs in the distance. This is very upsetting news for me because I have always prided myself on being the only one in our family who doesn't need lenses to distinguish shadows and now I am just like everyone else. I can't help but think that getting glasses this summer is only the first step in an aging process that begins with the eyes in July and ends with having a hip replacement before coming back to France at the end of August.
On our way back to Paris, we stopped in Rouen for lunch. I can honestly say that I don't know why everyone on the face of the planet isn't falling over themselves to move to this city. We loved it, so much so that Kate mentioned wanting to live in France after her 2 1/2-year stint in Togo and that was a fun moment during lunch because my Mom's eyes almost fell out of their sockets and into her big salad as she said "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START YOUR LIFE???"
We've got a couple more days together before they go back to their respective continents and then I've got a two-day break before Goldfest and the Sunshine Band '07 bust in. And June just keeps on rollin...

The orange silicone wristband says "No one fights alone,'' and the only time 9-year-old Robbie Schywalsky takes it off is when he runs onto the baseball field to play with his Topham Park Minor Softball League mite division team.
A league rule against players wearing jewelry means Robbie "takes it off when he's going on the field and hands it to me,'' says his mother, Jennifer Schywalsky, who wears the same cancer awareness bracelet.
But Schywalsky and her son are upset about the rule and consider it "hypocritical.'' The softball league, located in the St. Clair Ave. E. and O'Connor Dr. area, made an exception for this year and is allowing its 500-plus players to wear a red Topham Park silicone bracelet, celebrating the league's 40th anniversary.
Schywalsky and her son have their wristbands on "24/7'' in support of her husband and Robert's father, Robert senior, who's been battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia since 2005.
"We are determined to wear these bands until my husband is cured of this terrible disease,'' says Schywalsky.
Robert Schywalsky, 44, is about to start a second round of chemotherapy and if a subsequent CT scan shows improvement, doctors will prepare him for a bone-marrow transplant.
It's an emotional time for the family and the wristband is a tactile expression of their determination to fight this disease.
Jennifer Schywalsky asked if Robbie could be allowed to wear his cancer awareness bracelet since it's the same material as the Topham Park one, but league president Susan Osborne said it wasn't allowed.
Schywalsky said some of Robbie's teammates also want to wear the wristband. She bought about 100 and has given them to any team member and parent who asks.
Robbie said he "sleeps with it on'' and thinks the wristband is "important because cancer is a serious problem in the world. Tons of people have it. I want to help support people find a cure for it and for my dad.''
In an email to team parents, Osborne said the league is allowing players to wear the Topham Park bracelet to give them an opportunity to "show their Topham spirit'' in celebration of the anniversary.
"We banned other bracelets because we knew we would not be able to control what teams might try to wear if we didn't restrict them. We fully appreciate the significance of wanting to make an exception for this particular bracelet, but we felt that if we allowed one team to do it, it would result in us having to allow all bracelets, regardless of the cause and it would diminish the importance of this very worthy cause.''
Osborne told the Star she feels for the Schywalsky family. The league recently decided to dedicate its June 15 Family Fun Night to cancer awareness and encourage people to buy awareness wristbands.
Because of the furor the issue has raised, the league executive has called an emergency meeting and may well ban the Topham Park bracelet as well, Osborne said, adding she finds some of the reaction "hurtful.''
Some parents have told her they support the banning of other wristbands and don't like that this has become an issue, she said.
"We can't do this, we can't allow one and not the other. Someone might want to wear one for the Rolling Stones,'' Osborne said.
But Schywalsky said she's not trying to impose her views on anyone. In handing out the cancer awareness wristbands, she's made it clear people are free to wear them or not.
"Why promote a park when you can promote cancer research? Why not allow both bands?''
Schywalsky said one parent has made a standing display board so players can hang up their cancer awareness wristbands before they go on the field and pick them up when they come back.
Both Schywalsky and Osborne agree that's a good idea.

The IBA Hosts Lt. Governor Sanchez to Announce Santa Teresa Water Infrastructure Projects
Santa Teresa, NM- On January 15, the IBA assisted in hosting New Mexico Lt. Governor John Sanchez who announced new water/wastewater infrastructure projects for the Santa Teresa/Sunland Park region.
Southern New Mexico's economy is in a rapid growth mode, due to the influx of companies that have located in the region. To support the growth, Lt. Governor Sanchez announced that Governor Susana Martinez has requested that the New Mexico Legislature invest 60% its 2014 capital outlay, or $112 million dollars, in water infrastructure projects. Part of this request would include $8.75 million for the Santa Teresa/Sunland Park region.
The funding for the Santa Teresa/Sunland region would cover transmission lines, new wells, and a new wastewater treatment plan.
Lt. Governor Sanchez stated that investing in these infrastructure projects will allow southern Dona Ana County to continue generating new economic development projects that create good jobs for New Mexicans.

Since beginning her career as a model over twenty years ago, she has gone on to become an actress, author, enterprising businesswoman, activist and one of America's top selling retail fashion designers.
Growing up in Santa Barbara, California with an American mother and British father allowed Kathy Ireland to have a positive outlook on life. In it, she learned about multiculturalism which is reflected in her post modelling career activities.
By the age of 15, Kathy had developed into a beautiful and stunning California teen. When she was 17, she was discovered by a scout from Elite Modeling Agency. She was an immediate hit and began being photographed by the top photographers. She made the covers of all the top fashion, beauty and women's magazines including Cosmopolitan, Elle, Glamour, McCall's, People, Harper's Bazaar, Redbook, Shape and Fit Pregnancy. However, she is most remembered for her covers and appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Today, she is still considered by readers to be the favourite model and cover girl for the Swimsuit Issue.
Confident thanks to her years of experience in the fashion business as a woman, Kathy became a designer. She teamed together with the retailer Kmart and sold a line of women's wear bearing her name.
To continue in her fashion business endeavours, she founded Kathy Ireland Worldwide (KIWW). According to Ireland who is also the company's CEO as well as its head designer, "Our mission statement at Kathy Ireland Worldwide is to find solutions for families, especially busy moms, because that's what I am". She also said, "My background in modelling alerted me to images and clothing that were unrealistic. It's important that everything under my label carry my personal involvement".
This attitude towards business and families has earned her praise from the Associated Press and the London Times, which called her "a best friend to working mothers. Women's Wear Daily placed her brand 7th among America's most popular in its category. It also ranked N° 1 in Product Innovation in America by Kurt Salmon Associates, the US's leading research firm. She was awarded the Entertainment Businesswoman of the Year Award by the National Association of Women Business Owners.
Her collections can be found in the fashion editorial pages of Elle, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Teen People, Latina; McCall's, Glamour, Redbook, etc. along side the creations of the world's top fashion brands including Gucci, Cartier, Donna Karan, Oscar de la Renta, Tommy Hilfiger, Liz Claiborne, and Charles Jourdan. A published marketing study also confirmed that her brand is unsurpassed in consumer loyalty by other industry leaders including Liz Claiborne, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Gap.
Kathy's collections also include a women's swim line, a successful maternity collection, an accessories collection and a successful home collection. She diversified her business activities to include retaining the services of Celebrity Ambassadors and experts to facilitate the Brand mission statement; AndreCafé.com (an integrated brand devoted to food and entertaining) and Jardin du Jour (a division of KIWW devoted to outdoor living), which debuted in 2001. The later received the Gold Medal for design excellence at the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, the US's leading horticultural exhibition.
Kathy Ireland is a wife and mother of three children (Erik, Lily and Chloe). Her husband Greg, is an emergency room physician. Kathy is also a certified fitness instructor and Sunday school teacher. She is an activist on many socially sensitive issues and politically questions such as abortion rights.
On the 32nd anniversary of the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision (in which abortions were legalized in all fifty US states), Ireland appeared on the TV show Politically Incorrect. She took part in a debate about abortion "rights" and whether or not Florida should approve "Choose Life" license plates. In her much publicized challenge to Bill Maher, she said, "I was once pro-choice and the thing that changed my mind was… I read my husband's biology books, medical books, and what I learned… At the moment of conception, a life starts. And this life has its own unique set of DNA, which contains a blueprint for the whole genetic makeup. The sex is determined. We know there's a life because it's growing and changing."
Kathy loves acting. She had roles in Side Out, Mr. Destiny, Loaded Weapon 1 and Necessary Roughness. She guest starred in and made appearances in some of today's most popular television shows including Strong Medicine, Touched By Angel and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She has done stage work including a role in the stage version of Edward Albee's Pulitzer Prize winning Three Tall Women. She has signed deals with Viacom and NBC. In 2000, she co-starred in the highly successful Once Upon A Christmas, the PAX Network's first original movie of the week. She later starred in the network's sequel, Twice Upon a Christmas. She has also lent her voice to animated versions of King of the Hill, The Fantastic Four, The Hulk and Duckman. She has also appeared as herself on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, MSNBC, The Today Show, Rosie O'Donnell, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, The Main Floor, and specials on E! and VH1.
Kathy created the Dream Foundation, the US's first and only national wish-granting organization for terminally ill adults. She is also a Dream Ambassador. Kathy represents the Dream Foundation to corporations, helping to strengthen and build the resources necessary to make dreams come true for families.
She authored the book, Powerful Inspirations: Eight Lessons That Will Change Your Life. UCLA named her as one of the top 10 women's health advocates in America. She is a member of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

This is the first trailer for the soon-to-be-released documentary, "WHO in the World is Spraying?".
We must find out who is behind the current ongoing destructive geoengineering schemes being conducted around the world. From the award-winning production team that brought you "WHAT in the World are They Spraying?" & "WHY in the World are They Spraying?" comes an in depth investigative search into WHO is doing this. "WHO in the World is Spraying?" is currently in production. Please visit http://www.whosprays.com for funding opportunities and pre-orders.
Knowing who is behind this activity can only bring us closer to bringing an end to it. To quote Edward Teller – "Conflict over weather control [is] the likely cause of "the last war on earth." (Teller, quoted in Christopher Stone, "The Environment in Moral Thought").

A Sea Food Party
To make life easy, this is much simpler than last week.
You need a big pot but even better, one of those propane-fueled pots for outdoors.
They are cheap and you can fry turkeys in them too! The cheese is a no-brainer.
You can omit or modify the seafood selection. Just don't add anything not listed
and follow the directions for the seafood you choose to cook. When cooking
the hushpuppies, if they are heavy and do not rise enough, use more baking powder.
If they are greasy and break apart then use more flour. If you want more tang
then add some jalapeno juice. The object is to have a light greaseless product.
I personally hate to cook with things from a box. Occasionally there is a recipe
that requires it though. Once you get use to the stigma of using these products,
they can be quite good. This cake can be made no other way. Use Baker's Joy
to grease and flour the pan. The cake will look funny during baking, so do yourself
a favor don't look, you'll just worry.
menu serves 20
Cajun Cheese Appetizer
Louisiana Seafood Boil
Remoulade Sauce
Cocktail Sauce
Jalapeno Hushpuppies
Jamaican Rum Cake
Cajun Cheese Appetizer:
2-8 ounce packs cream cheese
2 teaspoons dill
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons caraway
2 teaspoons chives (or green onion
tops, they're the same)
2 cloves minced garlic
Lemon pepper
In a mixing bowl cream together
everything but the lemon pepper. Shape it into whatever shape you want. Chill
it and then roll it into the lemon pepper. You want to heavily coat it. Serve
with the crackers of your choice. As a garnish I like to sliver green, red,
and yellow bell peppers and place them around the cheese. It's just colorful
and looks appetizing.
Louisiana Seafood Boil:
15 quarts water (better have a
big pot)
8 lemons
3 cups coarse salt
3 lb. onions, peeled and sliced
4 bags seafood boil
2 cups Louisiana hot sauce
1/2-cup cayenne pepper
3 heads garlic, halved crossways
6 bay leaves
2 cups peppercorns
4 lb. small new potatoes, scrubbed
12 ears corn, shucked and halved
18 live crabs
4 lb. fresh shrimp, in their shells
15 lb. live crawfish
Put the water in a 20-gallon pot.
Cut the lemons in half, squeeze their juice into the water and drop in the rinds.
Add the onions and seasonings. Bring to a boil and cook for several minutes.
When the boil tastes very hot and salty, it's ready. Add the potatoes and boil
for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the corn and bring back to a boil. Add the crabs and
bring back to a boil. Then add the shrimp and crawfish and bring back to a final
boil. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and serve on
large trays.
Remoulade Sauce:
2 large celery ribs, chopped coarse
4 scallions, chopped
1 cup chopped parsley
2 lemon wedges (1/4 lemon)
4 eggs
1/2-cup horseradish
1/2-cup Creole mustard
1/2-cup yellow mustard
1-cup catsup
3/4-teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons paprika
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 cups vegetable oil
1/2 white wine vinegar
Puree together the celery, scallions,
parsley, and lemon wedges in a food processor. Mix in eggs, horseradish, mustards,
catsup, salt, paprika, and Worcestershire. Drizzle in oil, slowly, with the
motor running until the sauce emulsifies. Whisk in the vinegar. Chill
Cocktail Sauce: Buy it
Jalapeno Hushpuppies:
2 cups cornmeal
1-cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
3 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 small can cream style corn
3 canned jalapeno peppers, chopped
1/4 bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, minced
Pinch of baking soda
Mix all ingredients. Use enough
buttermilk to make this the consistency of cornbread batter. Test the batter
by scooping up a portion on a spoon and with your thumb push portion into medium
hot grease (350). The object is to have light, fluffy hushpuppies.
Jamaican Rum Cake:
1 (18-1/2 ounce) box yellow cake
1 (3-3/4 ounce) box instant vanilla
1/2 cup cooking oil (not olive
1/2-cup water
1/2-cup rum (use dark)
1/2-cup butter
1/4-cup sugar
1/4-cup water
1-ounce rum
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease
and flour a tube pan. Place first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Using an electric
mixer beat 2 minutes. Pour in pan and bake for 1 hour. While cake is baking,
prepare glaze. Combine all ingredients except the rum in a saucepan and bring
to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the rum. When the cake
is done, remove from the oven and pierce thoroughly with a toothpick. Immediately
pour glaze over the top. Cool completely before removing the cake from the pan.

LeBron to Charlotte? Hornets must try
And they will. The Hornets and general manager Rich Cho are not dumb. They will get in line as a suitor for James -- who has opted out of his contract with the Heat -- just like everyone else in the NBA will. And Michael Jordan should be part of this recruitment process.
And while LeBron's landing spots certainly would seem to be more likely in Miami, L.A. (with either team), or Cleveland, it is a tribute to the Hornets that they at least are in this conversation. A column in Yahoo! Sports recently was headlined: "LeBron James Could Be The Superstar Michael Jordan Is Looking For" and contained the sentence: "The Hornets can make a solid case they are in better standing than the Heat if James is removed from the equation."
Ultimately, I cannot imagine LeBron coming to Charlotte. But that's the way the biggest dreams sometimes are -- unimaginable until they actually happen. If you are the Hornets, you never know on this one until you try.
15 comments:
Hornets fans should petition for LBJ to become a Hornet. Show him that we could handle him here. I believe the City would rally behind him and there is no doubt in my mind he could sell just as many Jerseys in Charlotte as any where else. LBJ COME TO CLT!!!
- June 24, 2014 at 1:42 PM
Deal that slug Hendo, give all our picks this season and our #1 next. Give him a two year at the highest rate. We will instantly be a contender for the title.
- June 24, 2014 at 2:15 PM
Exactly. We can sell him on the world's best player as the owner, the world's best fans, and a supporting cast where he would fit in perfectly. Getting him here with Hornets name and Charlotte will be rocking in a way that will put OKC or any other loud stadium to shame. Al and Lebron will be like LJ and 'Zo all over again.
- June 24, 2014 at 2:25 PM
Would LOVE to see LeBron in purple and teal, but it won't happen. Doesn't hurt to ask though. I'd like to see him go somewhere else just so we can see that Miami Heat bandwagon fall off a cliff.
- June 24, 2014 at 3:20 PM
NODOOKIES: You don't trade for free agents. If LeBron comes here it will be because he and his agent think it would be a good deal. We'd still have our other contracts and draft picks.
- June 24, 2014 at 3:52 PM
Hornets don't have enough All-Stars for LBJ to come play here. He's chasing rings. It's fun to dream though...
- June 24, 2014 at 4:17 PM
Signing Lebron from the Hornets perspective is a no-brainer, but it actually makes a lot of sense of for Lebron. He'd be joining a young team that can be competitive for a long time. Plus, with a talented pg (Walker), post player (Jefferson), and defender (MKG), Lebron wouldn't have to do all the dirty work, extending his career. On top of this, the Hornets could use their two draft picks to surround James with three point shooters, but the best thing about joining the Hornets would be cementing Lebron's legacy. He'd get all the credit for subsequent championships, and in doing so, he'd have his best chance of gaining the vocal support from Jordan deferring greatest of all time status to James. Other than by joining the Hornets, I don't see Lebron ever reaching the pinnacle of G.O.A.T. after losing multiple Finals, something Jordan never suffered.
- June 24, 2014 at 4:40 PM
Hornets do not have the money and Charlotte not a marque market.
- June 24, 2014 at 5:16 PM
Lol at all this crap keep dreaming suckaz 😭😭😂😂😂😂
- June 24, 2014 at 6:44 PM
Why would we Deal our picks for LBJ? Deal Hendo for some more cap room but not the picks unless we move up in the draft.
- June 24, 2014 at 7:59 PM
Why does it always seem like Charlotte sports writers always seem Charlotte has no chance on anything? We have some of the biggest corporations along with a recovery economy yet they say we can't LBJ or a Superbowl. How can Jacksonville, Fl host a SB but yet we can't, and yes I've lived and have family in Jacksonville and it's not even close to being as prepared or clean as Charlotte. So for once can the writers be positive to at least make our fans have some optimism for once, SMH?
- June 24, 2014 at 8:00 PM
it's the NBA and no one cares ...
- June 24, 2014 at 9:14 PM
I'll bet my house that Hornets can land LJ. What you guys smokin'?
- June 25, 2014 at 10:55 AM
If James is looking for a city to raise his children in away from the distractions of Miami, LA, NYC, etc Charlotte is a good option. He wants to be a contender for the best player ever and working for MJ would probably help his case. The Hornets happen to have $ this year and could pay him a lot more than he earned in Miami. I very long shot, but it could happen
- June 25, 2014 at 6:12 PM
It would be a cold day u know where, before Jordan would come off of that kind of money. Not going to happen.

I feel like all my clothes got a bit frumpy and doesn't fit my personality anymore...well, I guess it's the right time for an update.
SO, If you turn up your nose too when you open your wardrobe doors, here's my 10 tips, to make targeted purchases.
It's an easy fix that won't take long and cost a fortune if you shop smart.
The trick to refresh your style, is just by adding some well-chosen new items into the mix!
1: Open your closet and figure out what items you use the most
2: Consider the shapes of your current items. If you don't want to look like a sack of potatoes (I'm alright with it) , alternate tight with wide.
3: If you're about to throw away something, remember you have scissors somewhere.
4: This is the year of color mix-ups and patterns matching, so keep in mind what you already have and don't be afraid to mix them as you would never do usually.
5: Realize which shoes are ok for spring and summer. If the shapes or the material of yours are not suitable, invest in some fancy pieces that are perfect to wear with skirts and hot pants.
6: Handmade your own accessories! I'm getting mad on youtube tutorials, and if I made it, you can do it too! no doubt.
7: Get Inspired! Make your own research, look at magazines, books and blogs to gain an idea of the image you want to build up. It is always a good idea to remain open minded at stores, but having a direction will prevent you from buying unnecessary items, so, keep in mind what you need while browsing.
8: No need to go overboard. Some clothes can be very versatile, it depends how you use them. Just two or three pieces that look absolutely great on you will do wonders for your wardrobe and will make you sing THIS
9: Consider updating also your makeup if needed. For example, I've bought an orange lipsick and yeah, something as simple as a new lip color can really lift your spirits, trust me.
10: Check and re-check and re-re-check and re-check-check.

Hair Loss / Thinning Hair
It is normal to lose about 50 – 100 strands of hair a day; it is part of the hair renewal process. However, some may suffer from excessive hair loss at some point of time in their lives due to several factors.
3 main factors that cause Hair Loss:
- Hormonal
Hormones stimulate hair growth and therefore, hormonal changes by far have the biggest impact on hair loss in most people. Childbirth and birth control pills may also result in hair loss in women due to the fluctuations in hormone level.
- Disease / Illness
Hair loss may also be triggered by disease or illnesses as hair follicles are very sensitive and respond to imbalances in the body. Thyroid, cancer treatments, low serum iron and a diet low in nutrition may lead to hair loss. On top of that, certain medications and stress may also result in hair shredding.
- Mechanical Damage
Damage to the hair can also be self-inflicted. Many people change the appearance of their hair with dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners and waves that may be too harsh. The use of such harsh hairstyling products may also cause hair loss as some of these products contain strong chemicals which may result in chemical burns on their scalp.
Newest Treatments in SL CLINIC
~ Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
SL Clinic's specialized FUE is a primary method of obtaining follicular units – naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs, for hair transplantation. In FUE harvesting, individual follicular units are extracted directly from the hair restoration patient's donor area, ideally one at a time.
SL Clinic also specializes in FUT, where a patient's hair is transplanted in naturally occurring follicular units of 1 to 4 strands of hair. Follicular units also contain sebaceous glands, nerves, a small muscle, and occasional fine vellus hairs. In FUT, these small units allow the doctor to safely transplant thousands of grafts in a single session, which maximizes the cosmetic impact of the procedure.
FUT is favoured over older hair transplantation procedures that use large grafts and often produce an unnatural look. In a properly-performed FUT procedure at SL Clinic, the results can mimic the way your hair naturally grows and people around you will not be able to detect it as a hair transplant.

New Spring pictures
|18 Apr '15 2:23 am
I've come up with only two pics but hope you enjoy them. One is a shot of one of my azaleas in a bed with grasses and carex. I really like the combination. After the azalea is finished blooming, the grasses have their wonderful colour and the bed is backed by a display of purple phlox in the summer. I've recently added some tall crocosmia (Lucifer) that will accent the background later on as well.
The second pic is a rhodo that I planted under a pine tree years ago. It's finally come into it's own the last few years and had a good display this year. The flowers are a bit faded in the picture, but they have lovely pale pink accents.
For you southern hemisphere dwellers... a touch of Spring.

Thank you, Sault Ste. Marie (and Sault College Student Union) for hosting a great conference!
As you may know, I try heavily involve myself in student issues province-wide, and the College Student Alliance (CSA) provides the conduit for Cambrian SAC and myself to dig deep into issues that affect college students, as well as post-secondary education as a whole in Ontario. The CSA is the Ontario-wide advocacy arm of Cambrian SAC, and represents over 70% of Ontario college students. Make no mistake, this organization is important to Cambrian students. The CSA has a seat at the table of virtually every government and stakeholder committee and task force relating to postsecondary education.
One thing I always notice is energy, in every corner. The people I meet are students just like us, who have chosen to take on the challenge of assisting their fellow students, and working at a feverish pace to advocate on their behalf. You can't help but be inspired, every time. The faces will change from year to year, reflecting the reality that time in student life will (usually) come to a close. That said, even with such a turnover, that same feeling is always present at each conference. Ted Bartlett, GM of the CSA, was unfortunately unable to attend, but his vision, support and guidance were omnipresent. Ted has a joie de vivre that he is able to cast onto any student leader he has the opportunity to work with, and those of us who have been able to develop closely to him know that he provides a strong opportunity for all colleges, including Cambrian, to have an influential voice in the post-secondary education sector.
Several very important guests visited our conference…
Kathleen Wynne: The Premier of Ontario, the Hon. Kathleen Wynne made a surprise visit on Friday. She may have been on a tight schedule, but was able to lay out a three-point action plan targeting youth unemployment in Ontario, which is at a rate that sits at double the national average. Her answers were not as candid as our last visit from her, but she got as in-depth as she could to student questions, and once again displayed a very high competency when it comes to student and education issues.
Dr. Roberta Bondar: Canada's first female astronaut, and second Canadian in space was Friday's keynote speaker. Her presentation opened up a wealth of information on herself, her experiences and her knowledge that I never knew. Dr. Bondar's life choices have pointed her in a direction that is totally hers, giving her the best possible opportunities to chase what is important to her. She has taken on so much in her life, many things that have required personal sacrifice and a critical mind, but has been able to stick to her plan of success.
Dr. Andrea Dinardo: I love Dr. Dinardo. She has the uncanny ability to instantly clue in on your emotional cues without you even knowing that you are casting them. My private conversations and Twitter chats with her have provided me with so much insight on myself and the world around me. Her major theme at #CSAOct was emotional intelligence, a theme that we have discussed at length. Using her positive psychology approach, Dr. Dinardo really strikes at the heart of how emotional intelligence can be used as an essential communications skill.
Dr. Tait Martin: Sunday's closing keynote speaker, Dr. Martin really hit a home run when it came to discussing how to effectively engage students on any campus. With his public relations background, he laid out in plain English how student associations need to communicate to their students if they really want to maintain the best possible campus image.
The CSA board met on Saturday in the plenary session to defer the Fee Protocol Committee, meant to address the always-changing dynamic of the cost of running the organization, as well as (finally!) agree on a vision statement to allow the CSA to move forward with their strategic plan. We heard updates from around the province and touched on the new policy regarding the CSA election process.
Wrapping up plenary was the successful bid for the CSA to meet in London for February conference. Fanshawe Student Union President Adam Gourlay and his team have really done an incredible job in advancing the role of their student association within their college and in London, and I look forward to an incredible conference.

The Best Personal Injury Law Firm in Ajax
Be honest: your understanding of the Canadian legal system is probably limited. As it is with most countries, unless you are either affiliated with the legal system of that specific place or have a vested interest in understanding it, you most likely don't know how the system works or all about the laws in place. This is perfectly normal and natural. No one expects you to know and understand legalese or the specific Canadian bylaws that are involved with day to day living.
When an accident occurs, however, you may feel like you should have a better understanding of all of these legal terms that suddenly fly through your mind. Don't worry. It's not your job to worry about getting you compensated and worrying about your court case. It's ours.
Peace of Mind While In Good Hands
We pride ourselves on many things. One is practicing law and being excellent attorneys, good at what we do and ready to fight for those who need a fighter. Another part of our job as attorneys, however, is to give reassurance to those who previously had none. It's often you'll meet victims of accidents who feel like their world is forever changed due to their automobile wreck or being injured at work. We're here to tell you that you can get your life back on track again.
All over Canada, accident victims are kicking themselves, blaming themselves for things that aren't their fault. We're here to bring an end to the suffering of accident victims in Ajax via our legal expertise. If you're looking for a personal injury lawyer, Ajax has quite a few. But none of those attorneys can offer you the same peace of mind that we can by giving you excellent service with compassion for your predicament.
Free Resources and Case Result Guarantee
People all over Canada worry that after an accident occurs, they'll never have the ability to actually pay for an attorney to even see if they have a case. Getting started on a lawsuit can be very daunting to most, but we try to eliminate as much of the stress that comes with personal injury law as possible. Your first legal consultation is completely free so that you can test the waters and find out more information about filing a claim.
One worry many clients of other law firms have is the inability to both pay for their court costs and move on with life in the event that their attorney doesn't win their case. At our firm, we believe that if we can't win your case, you shouldn't have to pay for any of your costs. In the event that your trial is unsuccessful, you'll never have to give us a dime.

OBJECTIVE: To report two new cases of IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis, a recently described pathology.
METHODS: We analyze two cases diagnosed in our center and performed a literature review.
RESULT: IgG4 related disease is a recently described entity that includes previously not related pathologies. The clinical manifestations are highly variable and its presentation is usually subacute. The treatment of choice is glucocorticoids. In our first case the outcome was favorable with corticosteroids and azathioprine. However, the second case required surgery on 2 occasions with radical nephrectomy. The diagnosis of the latter was made nine years after the onset of symptoms when the biopsy was reviewed; at that moment immunosuppressive therapy was not started.
CONCLUSIONS: It is very important to know and diagnose this disease because of the good response to treatment that prevents complications.

HCHC Associates recognized for professional growthWritten by Theresa Rose on September 20, 2017
Henry County Health Center (HCHC) is pleased to recognize 41 associates who participated in HCHC's Career Ladder Program. The Career Ladder was developed to promote professional enrichment and growth for every HCHC Associate. This program endorses HCHC's vision to be the healthcare provider and employer of choice.
The purpose of HCHC's Career Ladder is to recognize, facilitate and compensate associates for demonstrating increasing levels of excellence through personal accountability, professional practice, leadership and customer service. HCHC strives to provide opportunities for development and recognition of staff excellence. The program encourages all staff to excel at their current position or take the initiative for professional growth in their field, thereby enhancing quality of care, improving patient outcomes and promoting patient satisfaction and staff engagement and retention. Participation in the Career Ladder Program also enhances our community by advocating service and leadership in community activities and organizations.
"This is a career ladder, not a clinical ladder, which means that each and every associate is eligible to participate in the program. The program is structured yet allows associates to pursue their own interests within that structure. Associates pursue personal development in HCHC's pillars, including People, Service, Community, Quality, Finance, and Growth. With the number and diversity of associates participating, this covers a lot. It is impressive to see the impact this is making on both the HCHC community and the local community. This program encourages associates to stretch themselves, grow, and use their leadership skills at HCHC and in our community. Participants included nurses, maintenance, housekeeping, information technology, administrative staff and patient financial services to name a few. There are four levels available in the program, and we had participants at each level," explained Lynn Humphreys, Human Resources Director.
"These recipients displayed through documentation that they were committed to going above and beyond the requirements of their jobs to improve themselves. Participants included those just starting the career ladder, as well as many who have continued to advance in their endeavors. This results in a better place to work and better care for our patients. The program emphasizes the high priority HCHC places on promoting careers that matter. The investment by the associate and HCHC results in achievement of outstanding patient satisfaction and customer service through the delivery of high-level care and service excellence. Our 2017 Career Ladder recipients are role models for how to work toward this goal and give back to the community."
Congratulations to HCHC's 2017 Career Ladder recipients:
Carolee Benz, Berdelle Severson, Deb Steenblock; Jill Daniel, Laurie Gotsch, Deanna Balderas; Brian Sinclair, Gale Bittle, Stephanie Gerdom; Lara Andreasen, Ali Welcher, Todd Steenblock ; Andrea Moeller, Debra Helmerson, Casey Mangold, Devan Rhum, Kelly Carr; Mary Murphy, Gary Brose, Stacy Speidel; Sara McClure, Brent Wilson, Angie Ackles Elise Klopfenstein, Prudy Mallams, Jennifer Vantiger; Gloria Fear, Linda Veldboom; Laurie Hoyer, Jill Burtlow, Jean Glandon. Lacey Clark, Emily Curry, Rachelle Fear, Julie Humes, Jessica Wilson, Carman Davis, Maureen Ewinger, Erika DuVall.

Briley Anderson hasn't been in a serious relationship for the past two years. The pain of her last breakup has made her wary of giving her heart away again. She spends her days flipping houses and her down-time baking treats for her neighbors. Falling in love wasn't in her plans, but then again, neither was her next-door neighbor.
Leah Daniels is a divorced mother of two and a grandmother at the age of forty-nine. Love was the last thing she was looking for, especially with a woman sixteen years her junior. All she was hoping for was a quiet neighborhood to raise her fifteen-year old son. What she hadn't expected was the unavoidable draw she felt toward Briley.
Through laughter, heartache, love, and fear it's up to Briley and Leah to figure out if what they've created is strong enough to make a relationship last and if taking the chance on love is really worth the risk.

King Salman of Saudi Arabia Helps OFWs Under Duterte Administration
By Alon Calinao Dy: His Highness Saudi King Salman Bin Abdullaziz Al Saud has helped more than 11,000 overseas Filipino workers who are stranded to find work in Saudi Arabia after Philippine officials met with their representatives of Ministry of Labor and Social Development.
President Duterte has promised OFWs to take good care of them after he received reports of abuse and maltreatment particularly to those Filipino household workers.
Recently, OFWs sent a video asking for help to the new administration. The President and its representatives immediately gave an assistance to Filipinos in Saudi Arabia.
Though many OFWs went back home in the Philippines after the government helped them, some of them want to go back to the Middle East since they said they have no job opportunities in the country and they thought the future of their loved ones.
However, not only in Saudi Arabia, OFWs from Kuwait called the attention of Philippine government to stop sending household workers to Arab countries since they are the ones who constantly experience different types of abuse from their employers.
Before election, President Duterte said that he plans to create a department for overseas Filipino workers who have concerns regarding their employment status and wants to establish a system of banks which expats could channel their remittances for free or with affordable cost.

we lost power but I was able to schedule a Sunday confessions post! I really hope power will be back soon so that I am able to read all your wonderful posts!
I am linking up with fabulous Alyx from Every day is a new adventure.
1. I feel like we are at war because I am not able to cook and I don't have any light. I can't watch TV and I don't have internet. I am really glad that I am a bookworm so I don't get bored like hell. I charged my kindle to the maximum and I am happy that I have a book light. And I am so thankful that we still have water! Yay!
4. I have to say that I felt a little sad at first because I will probably miss the new episode of True Blood tonight. But then I realized that there are people whose situation is much worse than mine. Like families with kids or older people. I mean, I have water to drink, pretzels to eat and books to read. And I don't mind the heat. So I will be fine. But I really hope that they can fix it soon. And not at midnight at July 8. Come on, that's unacceptable!
5. I have read so many books from Iceland in the last weeks....so now I want to learn the Icelandic language so badly. It sounds so awesome and I am fascinated with it. The only problem is that only people from Iceland speak that language and I have no idea if I will ever be able to use it if I learn it. I am not planning on moving to Iceland, I just want to go on a vacation there. So maybe I better learn Spanish. Or Italian. Or another language that lots of people speak.
I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! Stay safe!

Toscrew are a b and from Hungary that has had one of their older releases reviewed in this zine with a music style that I would describe as being atmospheric doom/death metal and this is a review of their self released 2011 album "Antiego".
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of brutal sounding blast beats being thrown into the music, while the synths which are not used as much on this release like the last one, when they are utilized they bring a very dark and atmospheric sound to t he music, as f or the bass it has a very strong and powerful tone with riffs that dominate throughout the recording as well as some acoustic bass being utilized on one song.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine death and doom metal together along with some dark sounding melodies that have a black metal edge to them in addition there is a little bit more groove added to the riffing on this recording, as for the lead guitars that are very melodic sounding guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars which are only utilized on the intro, they use finger picking to add to the darkness of the music.
Vocals range from deep death/doom metal growls along with some high pitched screams that have a black metal feeling to them, while the lyrics are written in Hungarian and cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, powerful and heavy sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion this is another great recording from Toscrew and if you are a fan of atmospheric sounding doom/death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Idobol" "Beavatus" and "Elenk Alakban Mocorog A Szerenyseg". RECOMMENDED BUY.

A few weeks ago I came across Buzzfeed's "22 Of The Coolest Places To Get Married in America". I quickly scrolled through the pictures, in the hopes of seeing a local venue, but there were none to be found. However, when looking through the list I was reminded of some great venues in our own backyard…
1. The Indianapolis Artsgarden (IN) / Ronald Reagan Building (DC)
2. Stryker Sonoma Winery (CA) / Keswick Vineyards (VA)
3. The Franklin Park Conservatory (OH) / Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center (MD)
4. The Distillery District (Toronto, Canada) / Longview Gallery (DC)

Hi everyone, Sandi here back to share with you all what I've been having fun creating using our wonderful Imaginarium Design Chipboard.
My first project piece is my 'Autumn' inspired tag.
I collect cardboard boxes and use it for cutting out my tags and to lift embellishments and photos on my layouts to provide depth to my creations. I apply mixed media, assorted papers and embellishments in conjunction with 'Lindys Stamp Gang' inks and sprays to decorate my cardboard tags. The chippie was sprayed with white gesso and then painted with Lindy Stamp Gang inks and the butterfly then lightly embossed as well.
Imagination Design chipboard I used on this project include:
|IDT0014 4 small butterflies
|Isobel lower case IDA0010
|Madison flourish IDFL0019
My second project was created in my handmade journal book.
Using 'Lindys Stamp Gang' sprays, black watercolour pencil and book pages with a mix of Imaginarium Alphabet chippie.
I glued the chipboard Alpha mix and then covered each piece with torn book pages using matte transparent media. When dry I sprayed ink into a palette and using a spray bottle filled with water and a large water loaded brush added the spray ink onto the page in layers drying in between.
The 2 page journal page was segmented using a black watercolour pencil and shading the lines with water giving them the look of eight sections.
Imagination Design chipboard I used on this project include:
|Isobel lower case IDA0010
|Lower case (18 on a card) IDALC0001A
|code IDW0094 #instagram etc.
My last creation is a layout 'Coffee Break' is celebrating the time I love sharing with my children, a day out shopping and having time to sit, chat and a coffee together.
I used 'Lindy Stamp Gang' inks watered down on the outer plastic sleeve that the chipboard is packaged in. I chose a large sleeve as I wanted to make circles that resembled coffee cup base stains.
With a mix of acrylic paints and Lindy's I was able to match the colours and pattern from the paper to the chevrons arrow chipboard pieces.
Imagination Design chipboard I used on this project include:
|Loolabelles Chevrons 1 IDDL0020
|IDD0046 Loolabells's callours 4 in a board
|My favourite travel photos IDW0061
Thanks for visiting and I hope we have inspired you to try out some new ideas and create with our amazing Imaginarium Design Chipboard.
Hope to see you again soon.

I can't WAIT to get out in the garden today! There is a slight breeze, the sun is bright, and windchimes are tinkling! I saw a skunk momma and 3 little ones following her along our side garden last night...and realized how lucky we are to live here! My poor friends have deer invading their gardens, so they have to constantly be on the look-out. Our home, however, is only about 1/2 a mile from the Willamette River and, somehow, no deer head this way! My garden is never under attack!
By the end of this week, my classroom will be empty and stored away and my thoughts will only be about myself, my family, and my friends...
By Thursday, there will be mojitos being served in the garden...
Beautiful, Beautiful Day!

You have a SKUNK family? I don't care how cute they are, I don't like them. I have seen skunks at my house when I fed the cats outside, but none since I stopped, and the skunk I saw was not cute!
