Three years ago, Holy Innocents' Episcopal School purchased a property that bordered the west side of campus. The land, which runs along the back of the Primary School playground and the business and development "house," includes a big, beautiful stone building fronting Mount Vernon Highway.
Originally referred to as the "Jones property" because of its previous owners, the building soon became known as the "Stone House" – essentially to make it more identifiable for those attending the occasional event in its large, open rooms.
Last summer, a comprehensive remodeling project was begun on the building, the results of which will include permanent space for the business and development offices, as well as space for receptions, parent volunteer meetings, and the Bear WearHouse, among other needs. And as the project nears its completion, the HIES Board of Trustees has approved a new name for the building.
At their meeting on Tuesday, the board approved the motion to rename the building Alumni Hall.
According to Director of Development Michele Duncan, the name pays homage to one of the school's most cherished constituencies – i.e. the growing number of graduates who personify our school's mission as they venture beyond campus. "We hope it will be a place for alumni to come back and visit," says Duncan. "And, of course, stay connected with Holy Innocents'."

I wish I could find the guy lounging in front of his sports car attractive. I wish I could look past the fact that a 32-year old man cannot write a complete sentence. I wish I could find a man's collection of erotica interesting. If I could, this whole thing—dating in the social media era—would be so much less frustrating and I'd probably even be married by now. But I just can't. I have no desire to get to know any of these people.
I don't want to know the man who wrote, "I am passionate about the kindness of strangers. Great books, strolling in Paris on a brisk morning, singing, dancing, a Chopin waltz, fine French wine, viewing art. Handsome interiors – antiques mixed with the modern. Women with exceptional style, including well cut dresses, low heeled over-the-knee boots. Oak trees, freesias, the bay of Rio de Janeiro. Sense and sensibility."
Nor do I want to meet the one who decided to share, "I have a new born daughter with a very distant and uncomfortable relationship with her insecure mother, whom is requesting that I stay away for awhile. This is one of the reasons I'm pursuing (this internet dating site), hopefully one day it will help her too…if she ever becomes open enough."
The man who said he couldn't live without "the smell of life everyday"? Nope. Not interested.
And also the guy who wrote this gem: "Things I can't live without: pets, pals, positive attitude, another P word comes to mind." Let me think about it….no. Every day and twice on Sundays. No, no, no.
And I don't want to get to know "Individuating" who is trolling the internet at 3:41 A.M. wondering what I'm up to. I don't want to know the man who can't live without the scent of a woman or the man who considers kissing a necessary food group. I certainly have no interest in the one who said, "I love the sound of my lover's heart" nor the one who likened women to pies, saying, "The mix in any individual is so rich, it's hard to pick just one. A pumpkin pie has all kinds of flavors in it, some stronger, some more subtle. A mince pie can be just as complex. Either one can make a great dessert."
And would someone please tell these people that the self-portrait taken via cell phone in a dismal 1970s-inspired dingy bathroom with a dirty shirt on the toilet is not the best profile picture?
It doesn't matter the dating site, it's all the same. And I've tried them all. But I think I feel worse prostituting myself on these sites than I do sitting home alone on a Saturday night eating ice cream from the carton while watching The Proposal. And this is why I've been very selective about whom I will meet and have only been on a handful of dates. Because I always come back to Jill and that night at the bar. I can't deceive myself, and I won't trick myself into settling. If I see a picture and think "gross", then match closed. If some guy writes about his potter's wheel or about how he likes early mornings when there is still dew on the grass and he can hear the birds singing over the traffic noise, match closed. I want to date the guy who's at a bar drinking a beer while watching the Ohio State-Michigan game—because he went to Ohio State or Michigan. And I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't have a potter's wheel and couldn't care less about the dew and the birds. And unfortunately he's probably not on any of these internet sites either and is sitting at home watching the game just like I am.
And that's probably why that Datsun prophecy turned out so wrong, leaving me as a singleton while Jill rode off into the sunset of married life. But I have one thing that she doesn't: hope. It's still possible for me to find some kind of wonderful, that movie-screen first kiss with a boy that I truly like, that boy that I go out with not out of desperation but out of desire. And it's this hope that I cling to like a life raft in stormy waters as I navigate the world of dating in the social media era.
It's not fun, but I'm "out there" and hope is all I have.

|Apocynin attenuates oxidative stress and cardiac fibrosis in angiotensin II-induced cardiac diastolic dysfunction in mice.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23334241 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Aim:To investigate whether apocynin, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor, produced cardioproteictive effects in Ang II-induced hypertensive mice, and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Methods:C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously infused Ang II for 4 weeks to mimic cardiac remodeling and fibrosis. Concomitantly the mice were administered apocynin (100 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1)) or/and the aldosterone receptor blocker eplerenone (200 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1)) via gavage for 4 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate were measured, and transthoracic echocardiography was performed. For in vitro study, cardiac fibroblasts were treated with Ang II (10(-7) mol/L) in the presence of apocynin (10(-5) mol/L) or/and eplerenone (10(-5) mol/L). Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to quantify the expression levels of NADPH oxidase and osteopontin (OPN) proteins in the cells.Results:Both apocynin and eplerenone significantly decreased SBP, and markedly improved diastolic dysfunction in Ang II-induced hypertensive mice, accompanied with ameliorated oxidative stress and cardiac fibrosis. In the Ang II-treated cardiac fibroblasts, the expression levels of NOX4 and OPN proteins were markedly upregulated. Both Apocynin and eplerenone significantly suppressed the increased expression levels of NOX4 and OPN proteins in the Ang II-treated cells. In all the experiments, apocynin and eplerenone produced comparable effects. Co-administration of the two agents did not produce synergic effects.Conclusion:Apocynin produces cardioproteictive effects comparable to those of eplerenone. The beneficial effects of apocynin on myocardial oxidative stress and cardiac fibrosis might be mediated partly through a pathway involving NADPH oxidase and OPN.

This week's Decoded Fashion conference revealed that New York's fashion designers are increasingly savvy users of technology, especially for creating engaging customer experiences — but the industry faces more wrenching change in the future.
Organized by former journalist Liz Bacelar, the event at the Lincoln Center was billed as "the first Fashion and Technology Forum connecting the world's best startups and most noteworthy technologies to the fashion, beauty and retail industries to accelerate innovation and increase the bottom line."
The event attracted an eclectic (and well-dressed) collection of fashion designers, entrepreneurs, investors, and technology experts.
The packed agenda featured hot technologies and fashion startups, covering every aspect of the fashion experience from social discovery to streamlined checkouts. Topics discussed included the best-practice use of new content platforms, social curation tips, fashion analytics, customer-powered design, size scanning technologies, and the latest developments in interactive video and augmented reality.
Much of the day's focus was on using technology to augment existing customer relationships. "Fashion is about the experience, the feeling of putting on a new item and getting goosebumps," said Clothes Horse CEO Vik Venkatraman.
"Social media is not just ROI, it's about creating the world of your brand. Fashion is like storytelling, and social media is another way to tell that story" explained Stacey Bendet of Alice+Olivia.
A presence on multiple social platforms is now considered essential for designers.
"Brands that do not engage using social media will not be here in ten years to talk about it!" predicted Ari Goldberg, CEO of Stylecaster. "In old media, content is king, but in new media, conversation is king."
Melisa Goldie, EVP & Chief Creative Officer of Calvin Klein, said the company was putting 23% of its advertising budget into interactive and online media this year, up from just 1% in 2009, because "there's no longer such a thing as a one-way advertising conversation."
Designer Nicole Miller noted that the changing priorities had had a direct effect on staffing. "We're probably putting more people on social media than assistant designers."
FactoryPR explained that customers have high expectations of social sites. "If you aren't putting out content that makes people feel, you aren't a fashion brand."
Designer Rebecca Minkoff explained that brands and retailers have to be careful to balance brand awareness and return on investment. "Social media should be personal. If it seems like you're trying to sell something, it won't work."

LATHAM -- A 9-year old boy is in critical condition after a swimming accident at an area hotel on Saturday.
Police responded to The Homewood Suites on Wolf Road over the weekend where the boy was in cardiac arrest while swimming in the hotel's pool during a birthday party. According to a press release, the boy, who resides in Albany, was swimming in the shallow end.
According to Lt. Robert Winn, after a couple of minutes the boy was found in the deep end of the pool but not moving, although Winn said the timeline of events varies from different witness accounts.
Colonie police and EMS arrived at the hotel and began performing CPR on the boy before he was taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital. He was still listed as in critical condition but stable as of Monday morning. Winn said the incident was still being investigated but being considered an accident.
More updates as they are made available.

ROCK HILL — With championship teams in Charlotte and Durham, N.C., the 32-team Independent Womens Football League has a Tar Heel State flavor.
This summer, the league will add South Carolina to the mix, holding its championship games July 25 and 26 at District Three Stadium in Rock Hill.
For the last two years, weve been to Texas, and its difficult for us to get the team to Texas and stay four to five days, said Ebony Kimbrough, owner, coach and fullback for the Charlotte Queens.
Rock Hill is really home for us, she said. We have about 10 players who live in Rock Hill. We are ecstatic about the change.
The Charlotte Queens won the Tier III title the last two years. This year, the Queens will compete in Tier II. The Carolina Phoenix, based in Durham, won the Tier II title in 2012 and the top-division Tier I title last year with a 14-0 win over the Houston Energy.
We do everything the men do on the field, Kimbrough said Tuesday. The only difference is the rules. The women use the NCAA rules instead of the NFLs.
The league operates coast to coast with teams in 16 states, the District of Columbia and Montreal.
The championships have been played the past five years in Round Rock, Texas. League officials queried Rock Hill officials about the possibility of moving the championships, said Auvis Cole, sports sales manager for the Rock Hill/York County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Cole checked on using District Three Stadium. When he learned the dates were available, Cole moved forward with bringing the womens football championships to Rock Hill.
Cole estimated that the championships could bring about 2,500 people to the area. Kimbrough said the size of a team ranges from 25 to 60 players.
The Tier III and Tier II championships will be held July 25. The following day, there will be an all-star game, followed by the Tier I championship in the evening.
The regular season for the Independent Womens Football League is from April to mid-June.

Refocusing the debate from personal data ownership to personal data sharingWednesday, October 26th, 2011 by Corrado Moiso
In my previous posts, I have introduced the concept of "Personal Data Store" where an individual can collect, store and manage all his/her personal data: "Personal Data Store" is intended to be a cornerstone for the evolution of the current enterprise-centric ecosystem on personal data (in which end-users are poorly involved in handling of their personal data) towards a user-centric one (in which end-users can enforce a greater control on their personal data). Tools implementing "Personal Data Store" functions adopted names such as vault or locker (see http://lockerproject.org/, http://themineproject.org/), in order to stress the fact that they enforce individuals' ownership on their personal data. Such an analogy assumes that "my personal data" are "my data" and that I must keep them "secret".
But this is not fully true. First of all, it is important to point out that my personal data are not only data that I explicitly generated, but they are data "about me", e.g., data which are recording observations or analyses about me and my behavior. The discussion about the ownership of these personal data is an hot topic and several blogs (some of them are "Data Ownership in the Cloud", Dataportability, and Privacy and Public Policy work group at Kantara) are active in debating on it. In some cases the discussion about who owns my personal data and who should own them becomes sterile, with limited impacts on the current approaches to personal data handling. An interesting position was proposed by Joe Andrieu, co-chair of the Kantara's working group on information sharing (http://blog.joeandrieu.com/2010/01/21/beyond-data-ownership-to-information-sharing/ ): Joe suggests to move the focus of the discussion from the concept of data ownership to that of data sharing.
In fact, one of the first issues to be considered is that some personal data could have "multiple owners". For instance, both the user and the provider of a service can claim ownership rights on the user's personal data generated during the delivery of some service (e.g., the payment transaction). Moreover, a service provider can "observe" the actions I performed on its servers and store them on its servers (e.g., the record of my searches, the log of the pages I visited, or the network cells my mobile registered on). Such a situation causes several conflicts among the involved actors. In the current enterprise-centric ecosystems, it is necessary to protect end-users: therefore providers must declare the conditions (and in some cases they are obliged to put constraints) on the treatment of the data used, generated or observed during service deliveries. In order to improve/equilibrate the current situation it was suggested to enable individuals to collect and manage all the data about them, including those generated or observed by the providers during the delivery of services requested by the end-users. To enable this scenario, service providers must share with individuals data about them, by providing mechanisms to access/retrieve/synchronize such data (e.g., by extending the APIs already adopted by some of them in order to attract more users, or by adopting XDI-based interfaces). In this way, individuals can collect, manage, and exploit data about them.
Another issue to be considered concerns the "meaning of data ownership" in the digital context where data sharing is, in general, implemented as data copying. The term of ownership is quite clear in the physical world: selling, transferring, or stealing a thing (made of atoms) preclude the original owner from continuing to use it. This does not apply to the cyberspace, where (copies of) some piece of information (made of bits) can be sold, transferred, and stolen without that the original owner "necessarily" loses rights on it.
Sharing through copy allows individuals to disclose pieces of information to multiple service providers in order to request or to get better (e.g., personalized or higher-quality) services. Actually, for an individual, sharing personal data (even if they are classified as "sensible") is more important that keep them secret: if we do not disclose personal data, we cannot fully exploit them (e.g., if I do not disclose to a doctor my symptoms and habits, she/he can hardly elaborate a right diagnosis).
In order to keep "ownership" on disclosed personal data, we must be able to control their sharing: we must discriminate which pieces of personal information can be disclosed to a given 3rd party and to declare under which constraints such a 3rd party is entitle to use them. In this scenario, a critical point is the trustiness of the 3rd party (e.g., we have to trust that our doctor keeps professional secrecy, when we disclose to him/her information on my health): in fact, it is almost impossible to guarantee only by means of technical solutions that our disclosed personal data are used under our conditions as soon as they are passed to a 3rd party (e.g., see the experiences of defining DRM frameworks). In order to reduce these risks we could decide to share information only with trusted parties, or only with parties which operate platforms "certificated" by some external authority.
In summary, we could claim that I enforce the ownership on my persona data (i.e., data about me) not because I can keep them secret, but because I can control their collection, sharing and usage. In order to do that, I should be able to establish relationships with the providers of the services I use (either in the physical world or in the digital one), by defining which are the data I disclose to a given provider (my data in the figure), the data that this provider disclose to me (provider's data), and the data which are generated in the context of service deliveries (our data). The relationship must also include the policies constraining the usage of the shared piece of information. Such relationships are a possible tool by means of which individuals and providers can solve possible conflicts (or tussles) on the personal data ownership, in particular those concerning "multiple ownership".
"Personal Data Stores" should provide the features to define and control the personal data sharing. A first set of capabilities is related to the definition and the implementation of relationships between individuals and 3rd parties: they could be achieved by means of mechanisms to define views on shared data (e.g., OASIS XDI), enforce policies on data accesses (e.g., W3C User-Managed Access), and cope with identity management. The second set concerns on how to control and constraint the parties in the use of the data shared in the context of a relation: this could rely on some of the existing frameworks on usage control policies.
Unfortunately, several issues are not fully covered by the available technologies. A first open point is related to the frameworks for enforcing policies on access to and use of a given data: in general, they assume that a single actor, the "owner", defines the policies the policies to access a given piece of information. As in the context of personal data multiple actors can claim ownership rights on a single piece of data, extensions should be elaborated in order to enable multiple actors to define policies on a single piece of information. The second issue concerns the mentioned weakness of the frameworks for enforcing usage control policies.
Therefore, control on sharing personal data should be addressed in a multidisciplinary way, by complementing technical solutions with a legal and regulatory framework for preventing abuses.

An endangered (EN) species is one which has been categorised by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as likely to become extinct. Conservation biologists use the IUCN Red List, where "endangered" is the second most severe conservation status for wild populations, following critically endangered.
3079 animals and 2655 plants are endangered worldwide, compared with 1998 levels of 1102 and 1197, respectively. The amount, population trend, and conservation status of each species can be found in the lists of organisms by population.
Many nations have laws that protect conservation reliant species: for example, forbidding hunting, restricting land development, or creating preserves.

The Red-browed Amazon (Amazona rhodocorytha) is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is endemic to Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil. It has been considered a subspecies of the Blue-cheeked Amazon, but today all major authorities consider them separate species. It is threatened both by habitat loss and by being captured for the trade in wild parrots.
See encyclopedia photos —
The conservation status of a group of organisms (for instance, a species) indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the best-known worldwide conservation status listing and ranking system. Species are classified by the IUCN Red List into nine groups set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation. Also included are species that have gone extinct since 500 AD. When discussing the IUCN Red List, the official term "threatened" is a grouping of three categories: critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) aims to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. Many countries require CITES permits when importing plants and animals listed on CITES.
See encyclopedia photos —
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List), founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world's main authority on the conservation status of species. A series of Regional Red Lists are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit.
The IUCN Red List is set upon precise criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. The aim is to convey the urgency of conservation issues to the public and policy makers, as well as help the international community to try to reduce species extinction. According to IUCN (1996), the formally stated goals of the Red List are (1) to provide scientifically based information on the status of species and subspecies at a global level, (2) to draw attention to the magnitude and importance of threatened biodiversity, (3) to influence national and international policy and decision-making, and (4) to provide information to guide actions to conserve biological diversity.
Major species assessors include BirdLife International, the Institute of Zoology (the research division of the Zoological Society of London), the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, and many Specialist Groups within the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC). Collectively, assessments by these organizations and groups account for nearly half the species on the Red List.

Parrots, also known as psittacines /ˈsɪtəsaɪnz/, are birds of the roughly 372 species in 86 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most tropical and subtropical regions. The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ('true' parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos) and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia.

She gave me the name and contact info for someone who takes my primary insurance, but dang, changing like this is a HUGE stressor!!!
I mean, dude I saw actually over 10 years died. Then I start seeing this lady, hit it off with her, and all was going pretty good, making progress, etc., now I feel like I'm being thrown to the lions, even though my current counselor recommended one for me.
My main concern at first was "Do they do CBT? (cognitive behavioral therapy)....but now my fear, after seeing a glorified one, is "Are they just a social worker?
I have multiple diagnoses, and a social worker could in no way handle my needs. Sorry, they just can't.
Now, I've just read about this new lady, and apparently she has a "holistic" approach style...I'm not even sure what the heck that means?
So, I took the first step and contacted this new lady, giving my current lady as a reference, and asked for a new patient appointment. After looking at her website, it appears that she is the ONLY one I'd want to see in her practice.
Now, I'm gonna take some meds, have a cigar, and then lie on the couch in misery while I watch TV. Yee friggin haw, Ain't life grand!
Well, I certainly know what it's like to change therapists. This past Dec of 2013 I had my last session with my tdoc of 20 years! Several years prior to ending with her, I literally thought I would die of a broken heart when we could no longer work together, but as you can see, I'm still here.
To my complete surprise, it has gone FAR better than I thought it would. I have been able to talk with her over the phone once a month just to check in because she didn't feel right about just terminating abruptly after such a long time together. That will go on for a year.
Anyway, I searched for a new therapist and found one who I thought could work with and did for 3 months. I was surprised that I connected with her right away; but we had to end because of her theraputic method. We both agreed that would be the best thing, but i liked her and was disappointed she didn't work.
So now I am on the search again.
You mentioned that you can't afford cash but am wondering how much you could afford because many therapists charge based on a sliding scale fee, i.e. charge based on your income. That's the only way I could afford it and I don't want a therapist that is only on my insurance list in case I didn't like her. So maybe you could do a search on the internet of therapists in your area who practice inn the kind of method you need, and who also charge on the sliding scale fee. Generally, they will give you at least a free 30 min consult appt either over the phone or in person. That way you can sort of interview them and possibly rule them out or not. I have to be able to choose who my therapist is, not dictated to by insurance (unless I absolutely have no choice and the therapist is "acceptable")
Good luck to you, and I have personally found out that even after 20 years or 3 months, we are more resilient than we give ourselves credit for, and things will work out!
I am waiting like a dog on a chain for 9 a.m. to get here so I can call this "new" person. My therapist HIGHLY recommended her, so I know she must be capable.
I've also had more time to peruse her site, and IF she can't handle me, there are a few others in her practice that may be able to do so. I'm one of those "complicated/multi-diagnosis" people that probably make the therapists as nervous as they do me initially LOL.t
Today I am feeling better and more confident, and your reply just added to it. I WILL find someone, and even if they have to do a sliding scale cash thing, then ok. And, my now past Psychologist said she would see me for half hour sessions for $40, whereas new patients pay $160/hour, so I do have that going for me. No way on earth I could afford full price. I'm on a fixed, meager income and just couldn't. I suppose I could explore what is available on the Air Force Base, but it is a heck of a drive from here. I can't go to the VA for various reasons we shan't get into here.
Hell, the base may actually be a good option.......I'll call 'em just for sh**s & giggles.
Ok, out.
Grace, Peace, & Warmes Regards,
Take care and good luck.
This is yet a different LSWS/?? something or another.
Well, I see her tomorrow morning, and will be observing her as close or closer than she is observing me.
She says she has experience in dealing with people with my diagnoses, which she got from an email I sent to her supervising Psychologist, so we'll see what happens.
I swear, the moment she tells me to "go volunteer and do something" I'm outta there and will demand to be put on her boss's waiting list. Yeh, if I were able to DO ANYTHING, I would not be disabled 70% (VA) for major depression 30% for a very traumatic injury, have PTSD, Anxiety, Bi-Polar 1, and borderline personlity d/o. Sure, hell, why don't I just go get a job like I've wished for years I were able to do?
I was a friggin working engineer with a good salary, and now I prefer to be on a fixed income? Gimme a friggin break!
I'd go back to work right now IF I were ABLE. But I'm not, so I need to deal with the issues I have, and make the best of my FUBAR life.
My God, I've got a spinal cord stimulator generator in left abdomen, a pain pump in the right, and wires to C-7 for the SCS, plus an intrathecal catheter to C-7 for the pain pump.
I WISH I could post a pic of my damaged right hand at the time it was injured, with all the black burn, dead skin, and charred bone....hell, before they resected my right index ray, the ER people at my home AFB didn't even think I'd keep the hand.
So, they resected the index ray & metacarpal, and used the good skin on the back of the finger/hand, flapped it over my palm for a skin graft, and sent me merrily back to work in the USAF. I was then diagnosed with PTSD one day, and the diagnosis withdrawn the next day when they found out I was filing for Disability Retirement, which my injury warranted. Could this have to do with my prior nuclear level security clearance??
Whatever. Point is, I can not work, and volunteering isn't an option. What if I volunteered somewhere and someone triggered me in a really bad way and I went bi-polar and their a**?? What a scene that would be. On my last job I chased my boss to his office with a pipe wrench. Yep, I'm fit for high stress situations....that's me.
Now, that's just the tip of the iceberg, and doesn't account for childhood abuse & a TON of family dysfunction as I "grew up". Hell, my wife raised me and taught me how to behave with some class. Before that, I was a misfit, white trash redneck sort of late-teen (we got married at 19 & 18)....and Praise God I have learned that her opinions are always better than anyone else's, and I'm better off to listen to her more than anyone else, cuz she has no agendas, and loves me unconditionally, has kept ALL of her wedding vows, and saw me through a war when she could have easily gone a bunch of other directions.
But I've digressed.
Suffice it to say, I'm disabled with a badass attitude, a princess wife, and the heart of a teddy bear, but the mind of an ex-combat soldier.
That's more than enuf about ME.
Back to the topic. Ya all wish me luck/pray/meditate/whatever for things to go well for me tomorrow, and/or that my path in life will head the right direction from this point forward.
Thanks and have a blessed Day!!
Before I say anything else, I must say that I love what you said here, " I'm disabled with a badass attitude, a princess wife, and the heart of a teddy bear, but the mind of an ex-combat soldier." I giggled when I read that!
Anyway, I think I have just one thing to say re work (don't worry ahead of time lol) - you said re this new therapist, "I swear, the moment she tells me to "go volunteer and do something" I'm outta there" and then you proceeded to explain exactly why you couldn't work.
So the thing that popped into my head re that is why don't YOU address the issue before she would ever have a chance to? Seriously! Like the first session with her, just lay it all out for her to see. Tell her how you feel about the possibility of her telling and/or suggesting that you volunteer or work so that she knows exactly where you are coming from on the topic from day one - that way, there won't be that "thing" hovering over you, just waiting for the bomb to drop when she says that. You don't know if she would ever suggest such a thing to you, but this way, the power is in your hands, not hers. This will also give her the opportunity to get to know you better on the topic, and cue her in on one thing (topic) that triggers you, especially coming from a therapist.
So, that's my two cents worth - i.e. give it life on YOUR terms before she does (or might do) on her terms.
As per usual, I blew things wayyy out of proportion and was ready for war with her over the first wrong word. So, when I went in, I told her I had no problem stating if I didn't want to talk about something or if I had a problem with her. I'm glad I did that.
Hopefully this issue is resolved, and I've got a good therapist, but only time will tell.
She's gonna love the answers on the 8 page questionairre she gave me hehehe. This woman won't live long enough to straighten me out. Hell, I'm not sure I will.
All I know is that if she gets out of my comfort zone with any part of a discussion, I can say so, and the convo will be terminated.
I see her again Friday I think. Yee ha, It's quite a bit further drive than I'm used to, and her office was hard to find, but I think I got it down.
Anyway, for now I am, well, ok with it all. We'll see how it progresses.
Thank you ALL for the comments and stuff. Truly appreciate it!!!! Grace & Peace ~Sean

They Risk It All for a Good Idea
By Lily Derrick and Nadine Fiedler
|David Bogaty '85 walks his talk in his company, WorldNet, in Puerto Rico
Success Through Integrity
David Bogaty '85 grounds his telecommunications company in uncompromised values
"Two years of hell." That's how David Bogaty '85 describes his short career in high finance on Wall Street in the early '90s. He went along with what his peers defined as success and what he thought was expected of him in his pursuit of an economics degree from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and of finance as a career. But once in the trenches he was appalled at the mean-spirited, shallow nature of the business, its backstabbing and egotistic opportunism.
David turned his back on Wall Street—wondering if he was a failure—and went to work as a partner at his brother John '84's new telecommunications business in Boston. As the business developer, David found a promising market in Puerto Rico, so he moved there to run the branch. Once away from the culture of business in the Northeastern U.S., he began to examine what he really wanted from life and work. In 1996 he decided to buy the company's assets in Puerto Rico. "What I wanted was to live with integrity and caring, work with a team, look out for the well-being of my employees and the community, and transform the business world by providing a new model," he says.
His business, WorldNet Communications, now brings in over $50 million a year and is growing. David says that WorldNet's success is directly attributable to their values, not despite them. His 200 loyal employees were instrumental in WorldNet being named the fourth best employer in Puerto Rico by Hewitt & Associates. David was also named Entrepreneur of the Year in Telecommunications in 2002 by Ernst & Young.
"The key to entrepreneurship for me was that I had to find something that truly sang in my heart and that connected on a deep level to the values I cared about," says David. "It had to be fulfilling, and not just to make money. When I found what sang for me, my path became clear."
|Danielle Easly Nye '87 is the face behind Dani Natural Products
An MBA Through Experience
Danielle Easly Nye '87 sells soaps and natural products worldwide
Like many adventures, Danielle Easly Nye '87's business began in an unlikely way. She had just finished a master's in teaching when she picked up a book on soap-making. Intrigued, she started making soap to sell locally. Instead, she quickly found herself running a serious business: "My third account was a 35-store charge, and that was it," Danielle says.
She may not have had an entrepreneurial background but, "when I started the business someone said that I would be getting an MBA through experience, and it is true. I have learned so much over the last 13 years about how so many different parts of businesses work."
Dani Natural Products, the business Danielle started in 1996 with handcrafted, vegetable-based soaps, now makes almost 200 products that are distributed worldwide. The products are all vegetable-based, including 100 percent soy wax candles, and continue to be made in Bend. They are often packaged in recycled, recyclable, or biodegradable containers. She says this commitment to sustainability is not surprising. "I really credit Catlin Gabel for my appreciation of nature and the environment."
Of course, the challenges of running a business that moves 300,000 items a year are different than those facing one person making soap in her kitchen. Danielle says that as she works to manage employees, manage money, and plan ahead, she often draws on the skills she learned earlier in life.
"When I started making soap I frequently thought of Mr. D (Paul Dickinson)," she says, because the lab writing techniques he taught at Catlin Gabel "proved valuable in creating a formula for soap." She liked using algebra to develop soap formulas. Yet, Danielle says, "There were so many teachers that influenced me beyond the subject matter." She even gleaned a particular method of problem-solving from Dave Corkran: "I have tried putting myself in his shoes to better understand or deal with situations."
|Eric Rosenfeld '83, left, and Bob Ward '83 have backed many start-ups in their role as venture investors
With Their Help, Innovators Realize Their Dreams
Venture capitalists Eric Rosenfeld '83 and Bob Ward '83 help turn ideas into realities
"Choose your lab partner carefully," warns Bob Ward '83. He and Eric Rosenfeld '83 started out just that way in 6th grade, branching out over their years at Catlin Gabel as partners in soccer, tennis, track, and science competitions. So five years ago at their 20th reunion, when Eric floated the idea of a business partnership, Bob thought, why not? They already knew each other's strengths and weaknesses, and knew instinctively how to get along. Thus was born Capybara Ventures, their venture capital business based in downtown Portland, which is often the first investor in promising high-tech start-ups. Today Capybara Ventures and its sister the Oregon Angel Fund are the most active venture investors in Oregon.
Eric and Bob found that Oregon is overlooked and underserved by investors looking to fund high-tech businesses in their early stage of growth—venture capital here is about one-tenth of what's available in Seattle. They understood that operating out of Portland would give them the pick of the most innovative young companies to invest in. Capybara and the Oregon Angel Fund invest in five to eight businesses a year, out of the approximately 250 that come across their desks.
What's not usually understood about venture capitalists is that they also provide advice and direction for businesses, as well as providing funds. "You try to coach people, you need to be diplomatic, you have to excel in financial analysis and modeling, and you have to be able to do lots of research in new technologies and markets. Entrepreneurs provide the creativity, and we're a sounding board for market realities," says Bob.
"These new businesses are very risky, and we can help mitigate that somewhat," says Eric. "Often, we help build a business out of an idea." Bob says that the willingness to accept risk is baked into the venture capital model: "You live with the realization that many of your companies will fail, but one or two will potentially hit it big and drive returns for the entire fund."
Bob and Eric bring many years of business experience—and entrepreneurship— to their roles as advisers. Bob spent 16 years in the Bay Area in high-tech start-ups, and he founded his own company dealing in optical fiber telecommunications. Eric's experience includes being a principal owner of a successful growth company, Second Story Studios, and he has held high-level positions in other businesses, including Mentor Graphics. In partnership with the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, a nonprofit that gives guidance to founders of new businesses, Bob and Eric started the Oregon Angel Fund, a group of 60 people who research all types of local businesses and pool their investments in four start-ups each year.
Both Bob and Eric come from families with strong entrepreneurial bents. "The spirit of risk-taking is one of the competitive strengths of our country, and we should celebrate it," says Eric. Bob loves helping turn an idea into reality and the insight that gives him: "Every day we get little glimpses of the future from ideas that come to us, some wacky and some brilliant, but all a vision of what's to come," says Bob.
"When you are at Catlin Gabel surrounded by people who try to do well and become good citizens, those values become part of your life," says Eric, who is a school trustee and the father of two Catlin Gabel students. "We enjoy helping others achieve their dreams and be successful. When they make money, we'll make money. Over 500 people in Oregon now have jobs because of our two funds—now that's exciting. The entrepreneurs are the real heroes, and we try to play a role in their success. It's a nice feeling to know there's a generation of entrepreneurs out there whom we were able to help get started and who are creating good jobs and making a positive contribution to our community and economy."
|Ali Jepson-Dohrmann '00 and husband Evan have created a café as exuberant as they are
A Bicycle-Friendly Café Makes its Mark
Ali Jepson-Dohrmann '00 owns the Little Red Bike Café
"If someone had told me that I would be running my own business eight years ago I would have called him a liar." That's how Ali Jepson-Dohrmann '00 describes the likelihood of her entrepreneurial career. She thought she would be a writer, "spending my days shamelessly lonely, writing passionately."
Instead, Ali spends her time dishing up organic fried egg sandwiches and homemade pie at Little Red Bike Café, the North Portland restaurant she and her now-husband Evan opened in August 2007. Known for the aforementioned egg sandwiches, as much as for its "bike-through" window, Little Red Bike Café has swiftly become a neighborhood favorite.
Ali is quick to point out that their "overnight" success was actually the product of years of deliberate, focused risk-taking. She and Evan, a friend since middle school, first hatched the plan of opening their own café while traveling around the world right after college in 2004 and 2005. The odds were daunting.
"I don't know how many times and how many people warned us in the beginning that 80 percent of restaurants fail in their first year," Ali says. Their parents, while supportive, encouraged them to start small. They created an LLC called Green & Green Salad Company and opened a booth at the Portland Farmer's Market. The booth was a winner, and two years later she and Evan were ready to open a real retail café.
"The café concept was easy; it was all we could afford," she says. It took them six months to find a space, in their own St. John's neighborhood. This, says Ali, is key to their success: "For better or worse Evan and I cannot walk the dog, get a bite to eat, or have color copies made without running into a customer. I think it works both ways: we work incredibly hard to serve and meet the needs of our community and in return they support us tremendously because we are undeniably a part of the neighborhood."
She partly credits her appreciation for and commitment to her community to Catlin Gabel, and teachers such as Brian Gant, "who taught me to work tirelessly, live passionately, and love what you're doing." That's clearly a lesson Ali has taken to market.
|Ben Schoenberg '88 juggled his way to a successful business (Photo: Brad Yazzolino)
Juggling is Serious Business Here
Ben Schoenberg '88 sells the best equipment to object manipulators
Classmates of Ben Schoenberg '88 might remember the winning speech he gave in his pitch for the junior class presidency—you know, the one where he did fancy juggling tricks while convincing his peers of his leadership abilities? Ben has followed that passion and talent, founding a business that brings a wide array of juggling gear to all sorts of people—many more than you would think— from comedians to classrooms to corporate event planners.
Ben had always dreamed of becoming a math professor, and toward that end he studied math at Carnegie-Mellon University. But when he finally hit graduate school at the University of Washington, he realized that the higher-level abstractions of math in those spheres didn't suit him at all. But for him juggling spheres was a delightful pursuit that worked his hands and brain at the same time, and he thought that his hobby could also become his livelihood.
Ben started Serious Juggling in 1994 as a mail order business out of his garage, creating one of the first U.S businesses to sell clubs, balls, and other specialized gear from many manufacturers in one place. Now Ben and his wife, Yvette, run a solid international business, selling online, at juggling festivals, and out of a Portland store (with the required 12-foot ceilings so jugglers and unicyclists can try out the goods). Their equipment has been used in Olympics ceremonies, Cirque du Soleil, the Ringling Brothers Circus, and many corporate conventions (as ice breakers and skill builders).
Founding Serious Juggling was a plunge into the unknown, but one that worked out well for Ben. "Starting a business requires an irrational faith that you'll find a way to make it work, and that customers will find you," says Ben. "It also takes the perseverance to seek out every advantage you need, take every opportunity you find, and not give up prematurely."
|Bob Warren '66 took risks to grow the family's industrial business
Infusing Business with Global Spirit
Robert C. Warren, Jr. '66 has thrived on risk at Cascade Corporation
Think forklifts aren't exciting? You haven't talked to Bob Warren '66 lately. Bob's company, Cascade Corporation, makes specialized forklift attachments for industries ranging from textiles to tires, and the lifts can do pretty incredible things, including grab, rotate, and stack rolls of paper weighing 14,000 pounds.
Cascade is a Warren family company, but that doesn't mean Bob always knew he would work there, let alone for almost 37 years and counting. If it hadn't been for his now-wife Elizabeth's reluctance to go with him, Bob says that in 1972 he would have traveled to Afghanistan and Nepal to meet a friend and consider his future. Instead, his late father, Robert C. Warren, Sr., proposed that he come to work for the company for two years.
"I told him, 'Look, you're really successful, and your dad was really successful, and Mom's (Nani Swigert Warren '42) dad was really successful. Even if I'm really good, I'll shoot just par.' But my dad said, 'You know, I think you're wrong.'"
To prove it, the senior Warren made the junior a tempting offer: Come and work for the company for two years, and if you don't like it, I'll pay for you to do whatever you would like to do. Bob first worked the Cascade assembly line in Roseburg, Oregon, before moving on to marketing, sales, and new product development. In 1983, brought his global spirit to China, where he initiated one of the first, groundbreaking U.S.–Chinese joint ventures in manufacturing. Under his leadership, Cascade today holds 50 percent of the world market in forklift equipment. Not bad for someone who never thought he would thrive in business.
Bob attributes his trajectory from international traveler to international CEO to "an interest and willingness to take on diverse assignments." This willingness to embrace risk, he says, was partly a function of his very first international experience, a childhood year spent traveling abroad with his family. The ultimate in experiential education, the trip instilled in him a curiosity and appreciation for cultures outside his own that has served him well professionally. Whether or not the subject is forklifts, his curiosity is contagious.
|Joshua Duyan '01 found a way to revolutionize selling wine
Bringing Wine to the Young Masses
Joshua Duyan '01 co-founded RiotWine, an online wine club
Three years ago, alumni Joshua Duyan '01 and Michael Mandiberg '96 and their friend Nathan Kennedy were just aching to launch a start-up company. They threw around lots of possibilities—pre-fab development, custom clothing from China—but what won was wine. As twenty-somethings in San Francisco, they knew that hushed, serene retail wine shops catering to Boomers were just not working for them and their friends. So what they founded was an innovative, web-based, easy to use, cool, subscription wine club with an attitude and a brash, loud name—RiotWine.
"We wanted to eschew the wine snob image and create a modern brand," says Joshua. They liked the way that companies like Design Within Reach, Apple, and American Apparel made things simple, clean, and easy to understand, and they wanted to do that for wine. The wine club idea was simple and elegant: a user would just sign up, pay once, and wait for delivery of great wine chosen by experts. The RiotWine website provided approachable information about the wine to make it all more friendly.
The business took off, with growing lists of paying subscribers. Joshua and his partners ran with it for a year, and then they realized that they had to reassess where they wanted to focus their energies. The three decided that they were all happier thinking about the big picture than dealing with the minutiae of business. They formed a partnership with a company that now deals with RiotWine's everyday business demands.
Freed from the demands of RiotWine, today Michael is publishing a design textbook, Nathan is working in green real estate in Portland, and Joshua is in charge of products for Lumosity, a San Francisco start-up that is the leading site for online brain training ("Look for a Facebook app and brain games on the iPhone coming soon!").
"One motto that I keep with me from my time at Catlin Gabel is 'learn by doing,'" says Joshua. "Entrepreneurship is all about this. There isn't anyone who can tell you how to run your company, so you just start doing and learn from your experiences."
|Daniel Stoops '88 owns a bakery and café, his dream business for many years
Raising the Bar on Baked Goods
Daniel Stoops '88 owns one of Portland's best bakeries
Daniel Stoops '88 admits that a day in the life of a bakery owner isn't exactly a piece of cake (pardon the pun). It is, he says, "all about solving all sorts of problems—most of them small." But for Daniel, who worked in the technology sector for years, working for himself makes all the minor challenges worthwhile.
Daniel and his wife, Jocelyn Barda, opened Bakery Bar in Southeast Portland in September 2005. Initially, their concept was to offer custom cakes and wholesale breakfast pastries made by Jocelyn, who after a 15-year career in social work went to school to become a pastry chef in 2004. Within a few weeks of opening, however, the couple determined that they would have more success with a retail café in addition to their custom cake and cupcake operation. By November 2005, they had launched a café selling pasties and coffee drinks; in early 2006, they added a lunch menu. A second location in Northeast, including a larger kitchen to accommodate their thriving cake business, opens this fall.
For Daniel, who fantasized about owning a bar or pub for more than a decade, the shop represents a natural confluence of Jocelyn's baking prowess and his business background. Years working for small companies convinced him that "I should be in charge if I wanted to be happy," while giving him the skills to become a successful entrepreneur, "from marketing to copywriting, and editing to project management."
Of course, the risks inherent to opening one's own business can be formidable. "But," Daniel says, "the risk of not doing it was far greater to me." And so he spends his days putting to delicious use the problem-solving approaches he says originated in part at Catlin Gabel. "The school is successful at getting students to really think in order to solve problems. I'd argue that is the single most important skill a business owner needs to have."
Lily Derrick is Catlin Gabel's director of alumni, and Nadine Fiedler is the publications and public relations director and Caller editor.

These two don't have to go together but, because they work so well together, I rarely make one without the other. I'll show the polenta first, and then the spinach. The spinach is so incredibly simple that you can easily get it together while the polenta is cooking.
- 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups corn meal
- About a cup of freshly-grated Parmesan
Bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan.
Meanwhile, grate Parmesan and set it aside. These little Zyliss graters are quite handy. They're simple, quick and easy to clean. I don't grate with anything else.
Gradually whisk the corn meal into the boiling broth and reduce heat to medium.
Continue whisking to get rid of the lumps.
Continue cooking until it's nice and thick, whisking occasionally. This is almost exactly like making Cream of Wheat.
Pour it into a serving bowl and stir in cheese.
Let it sit for about five minutes or so before serving.
Meanwhile, while the polenta is simmering…
- One bag of fresh spinach
- A tablespoon or two or butter. You can also use olive oil instead.
In a large skillet, melt butter over low heat and then add spinach.
