Yesterday was Sam's 365th day in hospital. Not a lot has changed, she still has much of the same problems. One of the good things that have happened is as a result of her twin Amanda's diagnosis of MS it that her neurologist has been looking in different areas. One of the problems he has identified is the on-set of an auto-immune response triggered by the RSD/CRPS issues. This response is a really difficult issue - and one in which her neurologist (same as Amanda's and mine) has enlisted the help of the Mayo Clinic. If any clinic can figure this out, it has to be the Mayo or so we are hoping.
Suffice to say that Sam has improved since our neurologist has started her on a steroid regime, in fact enough for her to be able to get into a power wheelchair. It was a God send for her as her goal was to come home for Christmas Day was realized. It was a great Christmas for our family. She had specialized transport (our new to us '99 DGC Handi-Van isn't quite ready) and came home at 10am. She spent the majority of the day with us and was picked up again at 4:30. It was hard on her and she payed for the day, but in her words it was definitely worth it.
Prayer, faith, attitude and a strong family connection/support base helps immensely when someone is trying to survive/progress in a situation like this. Without all of your prayers and support we know that it would have been a far more difficult road to travel if not almost impossible. So we wanted to share something with you all. Em and I are true believers in the power of prayer and in attitude. We have always tried to keep it upbeat with Sam (well any of our family who are having health issues), and it seems to have worked. Although Sam is still in hospital and her recovery is progressing somewhat (although not what we had hoped for by this time), there is lots that we are thankful for and a lot to be positive about. Sam and Em decided that since her anniversary was upcoming, that instead of marking it with a negative connotation it was time to do something positive and celebrate the positives.
So we had a little party
Butter Cream from Costco Wish we could send you a piece
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support over the past year. We have multiple challenges in the health arena, but each one taken separately, managed with faith, prayer and support makes them all manageable. Well.. somewhat Please keep Sam in your prayers, she is a very long way from being out of the woods yet.

"I can't say that one is better than the other, because I enjoyed them both," said Matsui through an interpreter. "I really appreciated playing in Chicago. The atmosphere was great for playing. The game was very exciting."
Matsui went 1-for-2, singling in the second inning against San Francisco's Jason Schmidt, the National League starter. Schmidt had retired the first five American League batters before beaning Edgar Martinez with two outs in the second. That brought Matsui to the plate for his first All-Star at-bat.
"I wasn't nervous. It was like any other game," Matsui said. "Edgar had just gotten hit by a pitch, so I was worried about him. When I stepped to the plate, I was just trying to concentrate, get a base hit."
He hit the first pitch he saw from Schmidt to the opposite field, as it was just high enough to get over the head of shortstop Edgar Renteria.
"I smoked it," joked Matsui.
Matsui had two opportunities in center field, making catches on balls hit by Albert Pujols and Barry Bonds. Matsui grounded into a fielder's choice in his second at-bat, and was replaced by pinch-runner Vernon Wells.
"It was awesome," said Jason Giambi. "He went out and got a knock in his first at-bat, made a few great plays defensively. I know he had a lot of fun."
"That I could get a base hit and we could win the game, that was the ultimate," Matsui said. "I got my name in the lineup as a starter and got a base hit. It was a great experience for me."
The AL went on to win the game, 7-6, giving the Junior Circuit home-field advantage in this fall's World Series.
"If we can get to the World Series, this will be very good for us," Matsui said. "I'm happy we could help get home-field advantage for the American League."

From September 23-27, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah and other Agency leaders will participate in several events taking place during and around the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Through our key events and participation at other development events, USAID will demonstrate innovation and results in our core work and spotlight how the Agency's new model for development is doing business differently to achieve unprecedented progress.
This year's Assembly will partly focus on the realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other agreed development goals for persons with disabilities. Over 1 billion people, or approximately 15 percent of the world's population, live with some form of disability. Eighty percent of them live in developing countries. USAID is committed to disability-inclusive development by supporting disability-specific programs to address targeted needs and integrating disability into all our programs. At USAID, we also know that we can accelerate progress towards the MDGs by empowering girls and women and investing in actions that reduce gender gaps.
Dispatches, blogs, stories and videos related to USAID's UNGA participation and programs can be found all week on USAID's Impact Blog.

The capital of Finland, Helsinki is also the cultural, commercial and political center of Finland. Helsinki is an easily-navigated city and an architectural delight. Helsinki is laid out with spacious streets interspersed with many gardens and parks. Wide streets and nearby islands add to Helsinki's visual appeal. Beautiful neo classical buildings surround town squares and the cathedral is probably the most recognized of all Helsinki landmarks.

(Its steep steps are where director Warren Beatty shot scenes for his film "Reds," substituting Helsinki for St. Petersburg.)
Your drive then continues down the chic Esplanadi, a boulevard lined with designer shops, and along Mannerheim Street, Helsinki's main thoroughfare. Its landmarks include the imposing Parliament Building, the National Museum, and Finlandia Hall, a concert hall designed by renowned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. Further along, you will see the stadium that hosted the 1952 Olympics, the new Opera House on Töölönlahti Bay, and the highly unusual Rock Church, an underground house of worship blasted out of native granite and capped with a copper dome.
Lastly, at Sibelius Park, you will stop at the amazing, stainless steel tube monument to the great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. At the end of the tour, you may return to ship or remain downtown to explore on your own.

The warmth of a beaded bronze border magnifies the glowing chestnut hue of a marquise smoky quartz gemstone in this bold ring. A sterling silver filigree frame brings softness to the substantial size of this piece. The ring measures 1-1/4" long x 3/4" wide. Make a date with your manicurist before donning this ring-- your hands are sure to be noticed! Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

|Losing is a disease; as contagious as ....
Carson McMillan scored the lone goal from the Aeros, who are fading quickly.
There is no shame in losing to a better team, but what is most disappointing about this set-back is how the Aeros wasted a very favorable schedule. Chicago was playing its third game in four nights, and the Aeros, fresh with new blood from the NHL, did not take advantage.
The Aeros gave up another short handed goal, this time when the opposition made them pay while sitting for a double minor. The laziness that led to that goal was mind-boggling. Let's hope that was just rust, as the Aeros will try to snap their overall and road losing streaks today at Peoria. The dagger was a game-winning power play by the Wolves in the final minute of the second period. For a team, whose confidence is fading rapidly, a goal like proved to be insurmountable.
Jason Zucker (minus-2), who along with Charlie Coyle (minus-2) continue to prove invisible during this slide, had several good looks for a chance to tie the game. Steve Kampfer, pictured above, continues his atrocious play and finished minus-2 in the game.
A quick look at his game-by-game reveals a far-too embarrassing trend. In his last 12 games played (keep in mind he was injured in the middle of them, he has been been on the wrong side of zero 11 times. Eleven times! And in seven of those games, he's been minus-2. Add it all up, and in just 12 games, he's minus-18. Kampfer is minus-18 in 12 games.
I keep repeating his name (Kampfer, Kampfer, Kampfer) in hopes that someone, maybe he, his agent or a family, has a Google alert set up for him and will sign in as anonymous and will defend him. I can see a bad stretch here or there, but this guy is on the ice for just about every opponent goal since the beginning of December.
John Torchetti sent the media subliminal messages about Kampfer and a few other players after their most recent home games, but he refuses to name names. Injuries on the blue line continue to be one of the main reasons why Kampfer has to play.
I guess one way to look at it is that it can't get much worse for Kampfer.

CHICKASHA, Okla. — A Walmart employee who allegedly asked a gay man to leave the store in this Oklahoma town Wednesday has been fired, according to a company spokesperson.
"He is no longer with the company," Walmart corporate spokeswoman Kayla Whaling said. "After investigating the situation, we determined his behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable for Walmart."
Jonathan Pacheco said he and his boyfriend were shopping in the Chickasha Walmart when an unnamed employee asked Pacheco about his sexual preferences, commenting that "it is Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."
"He told me that I wasn't allowed in his store," Pacheco said.
Pacheco spoke with two store managers, but said nothing was done about the situation. He decided to leave.
"I just walked away," said Pacheco. "I wasn't looking for any kind of fight and we weren't acting inappropriately. I just wanted to buy some cookies."
Walmart is looking into issuing an apology, according to Whaling, but Pacheco said Thursday he has yet to receive one.
Details for this story were reported by The Chickasha (Okla.) Express-Star.

In the latte-obsessed United States, tea is gaining ground as scientists and the public learn more about its benefits.
A growing body of research suggests that the world's second-most-consumed beverage — only water is more popular — helps prevent cardiovascular disease, burn calories and ward off some types of cancer.
"We don't clearly understand why tea is so beneficial, but we know it is," said Thomas G. Sherman, an associate professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at Georgetown University Medical Center. "There are lots of epidemiological studies, and so of course people see these studies and want to drink tea and gain these benefits."
Nationally, tea purchases have risen for 20 consecutive years, annual supermarket sales have surpassed $2.2 billion, and away-from-home consumption of tea has grown by at least 10 percent a year for a decade, according to the Tea Association of the USA, a New York-based industry group. On any given day, the association says, 160 million Americans drink tea.
Although coffee is still king in the United States, change is brewing. Department of Agriculture statistics show tea drinking has increased as coffee drinking has declined: Per-person tea consumption was nine gallons in 2009, up from 7.3 gallons in 1980; per-person coffee consumption was 23.3 gallons in 2009, down from 26.7 gallons in 1980, about half what it was in the mid-1940s. And while studies also show that coffee is associated with many health benefits, including helping protect against diabetes and Parkinson's disease, a typical cup has much more jitter-producing caffeine than tea does.
Manelle Martino, co-owner of Capital Teas in Washington, said she has seen the explosion of interest in tea firsthand. Her sales of loose-leaf tea have risen substantially each year since she opened the business in 2007, she said. "We started the tea company with one shop. Now, there are six stores in the D.C. area," she said. "People are becoming more health-conscious. You have baby boomers who are into preserving their youth. You see them wanting to take better care of themselves."

Most people like a nice smooth road when they're behind the wheel, but when it comes to Sprint Cup race tracks, sometimes bumpier is better.
Grant Enfinger, in the No. 90 Motor Honey-Casite-Allegiant Travel Chevrolet, led 63 of 100 laps en route to Victory Lane in the 61st running of the Southern Illinois 100 presented by Federated Car Care at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds mile dirt Monday afternoon.
Mason Mitchell earned the Menards Pole presented by Ansell Monday afternoon at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds mile dirt for this afternoon's 61st Southern Illinois 100 presented by Federated Car Care.
Ty Dillon finished three laps off the pace in the Oral-B USA 500 and scored a 25th-place finish, but it was significant for another reason. He finished one position better than his brother Austin did in his Cup debut in 2011 at Kansas Speedway.
Earlier this season, Danica Patrick scored a career-best finish on the similarly-configured, 1.5-mile track of Kansas Speedway when she crossed under the checkers seventh. She improved on that by one position at Atlanta Motor Speedway this week and finished sixth. This was the fourth top-10 of Patrick's career.
Matt Kenseth wiggled out of turn four coming to the white flag of the Oral-B USA 500 and lost a side-by-side battle with Kasey Kahne. Kenseth's second-place finish gives him enough of a points' cushion to lock into the Chase for the Championship.
Kasey Kahne had the best restart of his season during the second green-white-checkered attempt and swept past Matt Kenseth on the next-to-last lap. He held on to win the Oral-B USA 500 by 0.574 seconds and locked himself into the Chase.
Ryan Blaney wins the 2nd Annual Chevrolet Silverado 250, his third victory in 45 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races.
J.R. Fitzpatrick turned in another dominant performance to earn his fifth career NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and secure a season sweep at the famed Ontario road course.
Dylan Lupton scored his second career NASCAR K&N Pro Series West win Saturday night in a wild finish at Kern County Raceway Park.
Burt Myers got his first NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour win of 2014 Saturday night after a wild final lap of the Bayport Credit Union 150 at Langley Speedway.
Sprint Cup regular (No. 4 Chevrolet SS) Kevin Harvick wins the Great Clips 300, his 43rd victory in 312 NASCAR Nationwide Series races.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Police in this resort community along Lake Michigan are concerned a person driving a dark SUV or pickup may be intentionally striking women riding on their bicycles late at night.
A 29-year-old woman was killed by a hit-and-run driver on July 5, authorities say.
Two other incidents involving women involved eerily similar circumstances, although those two victims survived.
Traverse City Police Captain Brian Heffner said police aren't discounting the similarities. All three were females, bicycling home from the downtown area in the early morning at very nearly the same time of year.
All three were hit by a dark pickup or SUV that came up from behind them.
"We're trying to determine if they are all related," he said. "Obviously, we want to solve all three of them."
Two men also reported frightening experiences. One said he was sure the incident he reported to police was no accident. "He revved his engine behind me, came within inches of hitting me and sped off," the man said. He was unable to read the license plate.
Details for this story were provided by The Record-Eagle in Traverse City, Mich.

D-backs right fielder Justin Upton led the Majors with 11 RBIs and 27 total bases last week, and he was rewarded by being named the National League Co-Player of the Week, Major League Baseball announced Monday.
Upton shares the award with Padres center fielder Cameron Maybin, who led the Majors with eight stolen bases and tied Upton for the big league lead in hits (14). It is the second career weekly honor for Upton, and also his second this season (June 13-19).
The All-Star hit .519 (14-for-27) last week, with a 1.000 slugging percentage and five doubles.
Upton matched a career high with six RBIs in Saturday's 12-3 rout against the Rockies, hitting his second career grand slam in the seventh inning.
Upton followed that up with a 4-for-5 performance with three RBIs, helping the D-backs take the series over their division rivals.
The 23-year-old former first-round pick is hitting .342 at home this season.

I'm watching Million Dollar Baby and Morgan Freeman's character had a nice quote in there that said "To make a fighter you gotta strip them down to bare wood: you can't just tell 'em to forget everything you know if you gotta make 'em forget even their bones... make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else... show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy... how to generate momentum off their right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab... how to fight backin' up so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you gotta show 'em all over again. Over and over and over... till they think they're born that way." In fact there are a handful of them in this that I like which gave me the idea to post this.
I want to read some good ones from FH Community, rather it be from movies, real fights, or personal encounters. What's some good fight Quotes you've herd.

I would never order another wig or supples (wig stands, products for the wig). They have a 30 day refund & if not returned within time period there is a stocking fee. Of course I didn't't return them in time since it was over 2 mos. trying to get a wig that worked for me. Sizes were not true. I have worn wigs before without any problems. I have spent so much money on postage and now on restocking fee. Be sure to send the product back right away if you are not satisfied. Don't order the supplies for the wig until you are satisfied with your purchase. They will entice you with abreast fantastic price since you are buying the wig. But wait till you know how you like the wig. Don't plan on exchanging the wig. In the mean time the 30 days may go by between purchases then you are stuck with restocking fee. Jean

touch grip
By LV
from Prescott
About Me Budget Buyer
Comments about Paula Young Deluxe Soft Touch Grip:
I'm new to wearing wigs, and needed something that was effective in holding my wig in place. I have new hair starting to come in, so glues and tape were not an option. The soft touch grip band is very easy to use, cool and comfortable, and very effective at holding my wig in place for long hours.

About Me Brand Buyer
Comfortable under the wig; rides up a bit in back but is pretty good compared to other headband types.
By GoodHairDays

Good quality. A bit pricy, but does the job. Especially helpful for those who wear a wig daily.

Keeps it cool!

Using this band while wearing my wig helps keep my head cool.
I'm Skeptical
By Jackie O
from Minneapolis, MN
Although the gel-filled band will be comfortable, I'm afraid the slick surface won't grip well enough. My hair is very fine and very slippery especially when it's clean. I expected the band to have more of a sticky texture. For $17.00 I will wear it every day to really give it a true test.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I'd keep Ryan if I were NYJ
Ryan is staying, imo.If Dallas get their butts whipped, will Jerry Jones fire Jason Garrett? I say YES.
Reid, Turner and Crennel are definites. I'd put Whisenhunt and Shurmur as probables. Coin tosses are Allen, Schwartz and Mularkey. I think everyone else, including Ryan and Garrett, is safe.

I bought an '06 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with the 4.8L V8 a month ago. Have not tried pulling my Cub/Trailer yet, but it's gotta be better than a V6 powered truck that I had been using.

Dear Wife & Bairns
The Schooner lying here that expected to sail last Sunday sails tomorrow the wind permitting. I have not much to write. My health continues fair. I came of Picket this morning the Boys had a gay time at the house they got a Fiddle & danced till two o,clock if the Col had come along he would have raised the D__l with me for allowing so much noise. but it is my style to let the Boys have a good time, as we was coming home at daylight one of the Boys shot an Oppossum, they look very much like a Coon & smell half as strong as a skunk. some of them thought it was. I have understood that some of the "Grumbling Hunkers" have written home that the Niggers are used better than the Soldiers fed better & allowed to live in Houses &e while the Soldiers had to live out doors & many other complaints Now I should like to know if we as soldiers are so simple as to expect to live in Houses. I am mostly ashamed of them on that point, as to rations I know something about that no Negros have drawn rations except those at work for the Q.M. up to the time the men enlisted, since then the women & children have been obliged of course; while all of this time hundreds of whites were drawing rations & some of them rebels at that, some of the grumblers say that the Niggers get the best of the grub now I know that the poorest Meat & Bread, "Hard Tack", has been issued to them they draw no soft Break at all, & no clothing is issued to them till they are

City guide Basel
The most important information, excursions, events and much more.
A printed version for the road.
Download (PDF)
Basel is Switzerland's oldest university city. Historic landmarks of the city include the large market square with its richly decorated red sandstone town hall and the late Romanesque-Gothic cathedral. During a walk through the old town, past small boutiques, antique book shops but also shops of modern designers, a visit to the "Läckerli Huus" to try the traditional Basel honey cake is well worth your while. Basel is tradition-conscious and open-minded at the same time, a fact born out by several modern buildings designed by renowned architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Mario Botta, Diener & Diener and Richard Meyer.
Almost 40 museums make Basel the city with the highest density of museums in the country. Internationally known museums, such as the Basel Art Museum, the museum devoted to the iron sculptor Jean Tinguely, the Fondation Beyeler and the Museum of Cultures attract a great many visitors, as do several galleries and playhouses. Basel is among other things home to the symphony orchestra and the chamber orchestra as well as the musical theatre featuring international productions. And a wide range of classical and contemporary productions are shown on the stages of the Basel Theatre and the Playhouse.
Basel is a green city. The Botanical Gardens, several parks and the banks of the Rhine are perfect places to relax and linger for a while. And the Etoscha House at the biggest zoo in Switzerland offers spectacular insights into the Namibian Savannah.
At nearby Augusta Raurica near Augst impressive ruins and a great many finds at the museum bear testimony to the busy lives of the Romans in the region in the past. The charming countryside of the Basel region with its many cherry trees in spring boasts a particularly beautiful display of blooms. Germany and France, the Black Forest and Vosges Mountains are only a stone's throw away from the border city of Basel.
The yearly Fasnacht (Carnival) is the most important celebration for the people of Basel. On the Monday following Ash Wednesday the city rises with the "Morgenstraich". At four in the morning on the dot all the lights in the city go out and a colourful and brilliant procession through the streets of the city begins.
Home to 40 museums, the city of culture for connoisseurs has the highest concentration of museums in the country. Basel also has a beautiful Old Town, modern architecture, and the Rhine – an inviting spot to rest a while.
- Basel Art Museum - one of the oldest public art collections and biggest Holbein collection in the world.
- Jean Tinguely Museum - the glass hall was designed by the Ticino architect Mario Botta and houses the unique metal sculptures by Tinquely.
- Fondation Beyeler – a variety of art collections and special exhibitions are displayed in the 127-metre-long modern building designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano.
- Museum of Cultures - one of the biggest collections in Europe devoted to life in European and non-European cultures.
- Zoological Gardens - about 600 animal species housed in eleven hectares of grounds featuring exotic flora right in the heart of the city.
- Musical Theatre Basel - delights a wide audience with extravagant productions of international musicals.
- Rhine Cruises - excursion boats provide opportunities for views of the city from the Rhine and operate all the way to the big freight ports of Basel and Rheinfelden.
Top Events
- Basel Fasnacht (Carnival) - once a year the cultural city loses its head and spends three days celebrating the biggest street party (February/March).
- Baselworld - at the worldwide leading watch and jewellery fair international companies provide an insight into current trends (March/April).
- Art Basel - the exhibition with art from the 20th century is regarded as an important world fair of the international art market (June).
- Swiss Indoors Basel - the biggest national sports event and one of the most important indoor tennis tournaments in the world always brings together the tennis world elite (October).
- Basel Autumn Fair - the biggest fun fair in Switzerland featuring countless stalls and rides (October/November).
- Christmas in Basel - the markets at the Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz are among Switzerland´s largest and most traditional (November/December).

Elaine Hoover: If you don't find the answer in Ancestry.com, it's probably very hard to find any information. Without knowing first names or background of the people you are looking for, it will be almost impossible. The phone book http://tel.local.ch/en lists about 184 Frey and 254 Frei in Basel. Did you find any relatives elsewhere in Switzerland through Ancestry.com? Best bet would be to contact them for information on relatives in Basel http://findout-whatyoulove.blogspot.com/

Publication: theday.com
Close friends, immediate family and loyal readers won't be surprised when, with characteristic smugness, I nonchalantly scoff, "Power outage? Was there a storm or something?"
OK, I exaggerate. I'll be very pleased when CL&P crews eventually get around to rewiring my neck of the woods, but for the time being I'm almost as happy living without electricity.
Our house has two wood stoves for heat (plus 10 cords of stored, seasoned firewood), a gas stove for cooking, and an outdoor, wood-fired beehive oven for baking bread or pizza if I feel inclined to stoke it for 10 hours or so.
Before Sandy's arrival I filled two 35-gallon trash barrels with water; if those run out I can get more from the lake. We have a battery-powered radio and headlamps — I gave up on kerosene lanterns after the time I failed to adjust the wick properly and wound up looking as if I had spent a week in a coal mine.
I'll admit that one helpful component of my so-called energy independence is having friendly neighbors with a propane-fired generator who invited me to keep Greek yogurt and other perishables refrigerated — so I guess it would be biting the hand that feeds me if I complain too loudly about the noise from their power source.
Now that the weather is getting colder, though, I may be able to restake my claim on self-righteousness by storing food outside.
Full disclosure: I would be disingenuous if I didn't also admit that the other night I spent a few hours playing bridge and sipping Drambuie in their warm, well-lit house — a short but welcome respite from my bunker-like accommodations nearby.
Even though I like to think I have a Trappist monk-like capacity for asceticism, I'll take advantage of creature comforts when they're offered. As my father used to say, I may be crazy but I'm not stupid (or was it the other way around?)
Still, these few days (so far) without power hardly qualify as harsh deprivation for someone who has holed up nearly a month in a tent at high altitudes while on a mountaineering expedition in the Andes of South America, and who has spent weeks similarly off the grid during hiking and kayaking journeys in Alaska, the Himalayas, the Alps and various other remote locations.
A few years ago I also spent a week as winter caretaker at a mile-high hut in New Hampshire's White Mountains, when the indoor temperature rarely got above freezing and the snow piled up outdoors. By comparison, living in southeastern Connecticut in autumn without electricity is like a vacation in the Bahamas.
So far, the lack of a hot shower hasn't been that much of a problem, since my friend Bob and I still dive into the lake after our morning run. If the outage lasts another week, though, when temperatures dip, we may have to curtail our ablutions and acquaintances may want to stay upwind.
On Thursday morning we ran past the utility pole from which wires that supply our neighborhood snapped Monday afternoon during the height of Sandy's fury. They were still snapped.
"Looks like we'll be out for a while," I said.
Bob made an appropriately profane reply.
Over the past few days I've made a few forays into the modern world, including one to type this dispatch, but I plan to continue holing up at night in our powerless home despite offers of lodging from friends and relatives.
Eventually, if the outage endures, I'll have to recharge or replace radio and headlamp batteries, and at some point I'll have to think about such mundane tasks as laundry, but I'm pretty sure I can hang on a while longer.
Note to CL&P crews: If you're reading this, please ignore the last part of the previous sentence.

Syrian Refugee Families - Help Now
Help Syrian families forced to flee their homes.
Now in the third year of conflict, intense fighting in Syria has driven millions of refugees to seek safety in neighboring countries, often escaping the violence on foot in the dark of night. Families find themselves in crowded refugee camps in foreign countries with nothing except the clothes on their backs. And children make up over half of the refugee population.
No one knows when these refugees will be able to return to their homes. Mercy Corps is providing emergency aid, clean water, food, and supplies to families living in refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon, as well as educational supplies for the children.
You can help. Your donation provides aid to families in need during this crisis.
Report From The Field
by Cassandra Nelson,
Director, Multimedia Projects, Mercy Corps
Leena (not her real name) fled Syria with her husband and young son after their home was destroyed in an aerial attack.
I met Leena in the Za'atari refugee camp, near Jordan's northwest border with Syria. In a dusty tent glowing with the light of the harsh desert sun, her 18-month-old son, Raed, reached for her, though she couldn't pick him up over her pregnant belly—she's due with her second child in just six weeks.
Leena (who asked me not to use her last name for fear of reprisals if she returns to Syria) had fled her home in Syria three weeks earlier with her husband and son after their home was destroyed in an aerial attack. Thankfully, no one was home when the house was bombed.
They had to escape in the night to avoid detection. The trip to the Jordanian border is very dangerous and many refugees have been shot at while taking flight from their homes. She told me they only brought the clothes they were wearing. They couldn't carry anything else with them.
Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. Mercy Corps works amid disasters, conflicts, chronic poverty and instability to unleash the potential of people who can win against nearly impossible odds. Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided $1.5 billion in assistance to people in 106 nations.
