Headbands for Short Hairstyles
Add some sophistication to your short hairstyle with a headband.
Hey, ladies. It's Jeannine from BeautySweetSpot.com. One of the biggest challenges I have with my short hair is keeping it out of my face. So today, I'm gonna show you how to wear headbands. And trust me, it's gonna look nothing but sophisticated. When wearing a headband as an adult, there's three things you really need to pay attention to-- that's the color, the size, and the texture of the headband. For example, these are two headbands I wear regularly. As you can see, the colors are quite similar. Since I'm a brunette, I like to stick with colors that either match my hair or blend in to my hair. And that's what you should do, too. Second, you don't want your headband to be bigger than an inch if you're wearing a regular headband, and you don't want it to be much smaller than this. This 1-inch headbands here is perfect for any kind of hairstyle, really, especially if you're leaving it down. The thinner headband works very well in an updo. You slip it right in, and that adds a little bit of a sass. Third, you wanna make sure you pay attention to texture. I love to do a little bit of sparkle. Both of my headbands have sparkle in them, but there's not too much bling. So now, I'll just top in my headband, and I'm gonna place it about an inch away from my hairline. And it just adds a little bit to my look. But you'll notice that I kept hair out in front of my headband, and that's completely a personal preference. When you leave pieces down in front of the headband, it makes your facial features appear softer. And of course, who doesn't want that? But if you wanna pull it all back with your headband, go ahead and do that as well. There's no right or wrong.

13Andy Samberg Engaged To Joanna Newsom
Andy Samberg of Saturday Night Live is engaged to singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom. Damn, there are a lot of weddings and engagements going on right now, aren't there?
I didn't even realize they were together until this post. Apparently they've been together for 5 years, after meeting through mutual friends, though he was a fan of her music way before then, all according to USA Today.
"She respects what he does with his songs," the friend said, referring to Samberg's quirky tracks ("I'm on a Boat!") with comedy troupe Lonely Island. "She's so proud of everything that he has accomplished."
Well okay then, they seem like a good match for each other. One time my friend brought me to a Grammy party and Andy Samberg and some friends were there and we were bored so we came up to them and said, "Hey guys, can we hang out with you?" And he was like, "Uhhh…sure!" and super nice about it. But then at some point in the night they ditched us. I totally get it, I ain't even mad. True story.

13 Responses to "Andy Samberg Engaged To Joanna Newsom"
So is every Catherine St. Ives post going to be followed by a personal "oh this one time I hung out with someone famous" anecdote? Because I don't care.
This. It is pretty annoying.
aaah i love both of them, they seem like completely different people, i would never have guessed they were dating
hey man! i like personal insight about certain celebs – isn't that what we're here for? CSI, if you know for a fact that they're pretty cool/sweet/normal face-to-face, or total dicks, or catty betches, or that they get high as feck & embarrass themselves then most likely can't remember the next day, i for one would enjoy reading the tales. good on ya! i have some great celeb stories, but at times worry i'll come across as a braggy mcbraggerson if i share too much, plus having worked for a certain asshole company, there are confidentiality agreements to keep in mind… but let's face it, living in los angeles, it is difficult to avoid the monthly celeb run in; sometimes weekly – it is WEIRD! la la land for real. i ain't mad atcha, boo.
hooray! totally, girl, totally. here's why i love sally field, well, 1 of many reasons, but it's in the top 3:
F bomb around the 13:00 mark – TELL IT, mama gump!
Hey, I'm a day late here, but I also want to say that I agree with Drea. I look at this site casually and not always every day, and I rarely read the comments (they get really mean here, and I'm almost afraid of what might get said because I'm disagreeing with someone right now!) but this time I felt compelled. Catherine, I know I just said the commenters themselves get mean, but you're being kind of mean here too! I don't think anyone's trying to start a fight here, but you have mentioned celebrities in stories, at the end, several times now. (Is it really just twice? Wow, I must've clicked on the exact wrong stories.) I WOULD find this name-dropping interesting if it wasn't and if the stories are for-real more interesting from a press release. But I'm not sure what I'm gaining here, and it makes you sound smug, and so does your snarky reply.
Shouldn't you save that snarkiness for real trolls, and not just people with opinions you don't agree with?
I WOULD find this name-dropping interesting if it wasn't often***

NARRAGANSETT—The Coastal Resources Management Council and Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management will have much work to do in the upcoming days after Hurricane Sandy. From insurance claims to rebuilding the coastline, both state agencies will be assessing damages and communicating with local governments regarding areas such as Matunuck Beach and the Narragansett Pier area.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN—As of Thursday morning, power remained out for the businesses and properties along Main Street and High Street in downtown Wakefield. While National Grid has been working throughout the day and night hours to restore power, business owners have been doing their best to preserve product and cope with the issues associated with a prolonged power outage.
WESTERLY—Governor Lincoln Chafee addressed the media Tuesday afternoon after taking a tour of the towns on Rhode Island's southern coast hit by Hurricane Sandy. Having visited Narragansett Pier in the morning, Chafee then traveled to assess the damage at locations such as the Charlestown Breach way and Misquamicut Beach.
By MARTHA SMITH
Special to the Standard
A North Kingstown Department of Public Works employee narrowly escaped serious injury when the vehicle he'd driven to the scene of a downed tree was crushed by another falling tree.
A Jamestown woman, who couldn't reach a neighborhood near Mackerel Cove because police had the road blocked, drove as far as she could and parked. When she returned she found that surging water had crossed the road, sweeping her car into Sheffield Cove.
It's going to be a while before things are back to being normal in South County.
Today they get one small step closer.
There was still plenty of damage, not a lot of power and schools were still closed, but the area's sports teams are returning to the field today after days of wondering when games would be played next.
Today three area teams play playoff games. In girls soccer, Narragansett plays at Westerly in the Division II preliminaries and Prout hosts Mount Hope in the D-I playoffs. The Narragansett girls volleyball team opens the Division II playoffs at Barrington.

Here's a resolution many trying-to-conceiver'ers can (or should!) get behind - try to be less obsessive regarding your trying to conceive efforts. I'm not expecting anyone to totally drop their intense focus, but just ease up... just a bit.
"Me? Obsess? Never!"
Really? Well, see if you can relate to any of the following:
- You check and recheck the calendar to see what day your period will be late, and then count how many days it is until then, perhaps more than once in the same day.
- You chart your body basal temperature, but instead of just walking away, you look over the dots on the graph multiple times a day, trying to read the pattern like a psychic reads tea leaves.
- You feel your boobies when no one is looking... you know, to see if they're sore (and therefore, maybe you're pregnant.)
- You look up online things like "early pregnancy signs" or "clomid success" or "ivf success", many, many, many times, just in case a different article will have the answer you're looking for.
- You take not one, not two, but multiple pregnancy tests, sometimes days before your period would be late. In fact, you've got a small stockpile of tests in your bathroom cabinet right now.
- You stay up way too late reading fertility forums and fertility blogs. You're certain you spend a couple hours or more a day doing this.
Any of that ring a bell?
One way to conquer trying to conceive obsessions is to schedule them. Yes, actually write in your planner or date book, "Fertility Focus Time." Then, stick to it. If you feel tempted to check that calendar again, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you'll get to check again tomorrow, and probably the calendar hasn't changed since yesterday.
And while many couples have resolved to get serious about trying to conceive, perhaps a better resolution for the TTC weary -- those of you who are really feeling worn out -- may be taking a break. Talk to your doctor first, of course, but taking a break from trying to conceive can help you lessen the obsessive thoughts and give you a chance to emotionally heal.
What about you? Are you guilty of any TTC obsessions? Confession is good for the soul, they say. Please share yours in the comments!

This may have been one the least anticipated games of the season. Between the Bulls looking fairly dreadful the night before, and a Dion Waiters injury meaning both teams were going to be missing their starting backcourts, it wasn't looking like an exciting contest: not because the Bulls weren't expected to win, bit because it probably was going to be ugly even when they did.
But it was actually a pretty fun-to-watch performance, and the game wasn't quite a blowout, but wound up a solid 95-85 victory. The Bulls led for the entire game, and though an 18 point second-half lead was at one point down to 5, the game was never really in doubt. And it case it was in doubt, Thibs made sure it wasn't by having Noah and Deng both going over 42 minutes.
The Bulls looked physically dominant and the much more fluid team than the Cavs, and nearly every Bull had a good performance. They were surprisingly led by Marco Belinelli's 23 points, who was able to easily shoot over the Cavs smaller guards (as did Deng, who though scoring one point less had the best game of any Bull) and was aggressive in getting to the line 8 times. It was definitely Belinelli's best game of the season (he played nearly 40 minutes!), and sorely needed after the no-show in his initial chance at the starting job. Belli's defense is still pretty bad, and that Cavs backcourt did make a run being able to get to the lane, but a lot of the time they had no plan once they got there. Or at least what was a plan was soon thwarted by seeing the Bulls bigs.
The Joakim Noah vs. Anderson Varejao matchup provided some highlights, as two of the more unique yet extremely-good centers in the league this season went (mostly) head-to-head. Noah narrowly won the battle statistically, though his counterpart had far less to work with and had to force some looks he probably wouldn't have normally tried. Both frontcourts enjoyed a lot of offensive rebounds (Cavs 28.5% ORR, Bulls 27%) due to both of them.
This Cavs defense allowed the Bulls to use their interior passing which provided a very stark contrast to how the Pacers absolutely shut down any spacing. That, combined with a lack of fear the Cavs had the firepower to come back, provided some moments from nearly everyone. Kirk shot over 50%, Boozer had a couple inside finishes, Jimmy Butler beat a zone flashing in the middle for a jumper, Stacey King got to use all his catchphrases, Neil Funk got to say the entire other team sucked and it was mostly accurate, a good night was had by all.
Maybe not Taj Gibson, he had 5 fouls and 2 points in under 16 minutes. But pretty much everyone else was fine. To lose this game, given what Cleveland was putting out there, would've been a real travesty. So it's more relief than excitement that they won, but it's far better than the alternative.

Name that pelican!
One of the pelicans has already been named Tiffany, but the public is being invited to name the other new female.
Options include:
- Bela – a Czech name derived from the Slavic word for 'white'

The erection of a chain link fence at the planned Beauport Gloucester LLC hotel site is raising a lot of eyebrows.
But while the value of the fence seems questionable — it would prevent large trucks from entering the site, but does not block beach access and is easily navigable by cars and pedestrians alike — the more questionable stand is the one taken by Mayor Carolyn Kirk, who couldn't resist "tweeting" Monday that the less-than-aesthetic fence is in place due to legal challenges from Mortillaro Lobster Co. and the Port Community Alliance, which she sees as delaying the project.
That, quite simply, is a bunch of malarkey. The delays in the city's Fort infrastructure project, a roughly $8 million water and sewer upgrade prefacing the hotel construction itself, are primarily traced to the city itself. That's because, as Public Works Director Mike Hale conceded, city officials still don't have their "shovel-ready" plans in place for the work. And that – not the challenging lawsuits — is the reason the city essentially lost the $3-plus million state grant geared toward the project.
The mayor is absolutely right in hoping that chain link fence around a portion of a derelict eyesore doesn't stay up as long as the last such barrier – the fence that closed off the infamous I-4, C-2 site off Rogers Street for more than two decades before the city bought it in 2010.
But she and others should stop playing the blame game and focus more on what the city must do to move the redevelopment of this site – and, for that matter, the still-vacant I-4, C-2 property — forward.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nate Washington left Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth quarter with what was originally described as a hip pointer, but is now being described as a simple hip bruise. Washington is expected to play in week ten against the Carolina Panthers. Washington reportedly suffered the initial injury in the first quarter, but aggravated it late in the fourth quarter when he fell on the hip during the final two-minute drill.
Over the first month and a half of the season Nate Washington emerged as the primary playmaker for the Titans offense. Since Kenny Britt went down for the season, Washington has been solid as the team's number one receiver. The last few weeks he has struggled a bit, collecting no more than 34 receiving yards in a game. If he is good to go for this Sunday he will be looking to regain some of that momentum moving forward.

James L. Horton, 34, was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence for the aggravated rape of his 12-year-old stepdaughter.
The rape resulted in the girl becoming pregnant. After she gave birth, the DeSoto Parish DA's office collected Horton's DNA and matched it to the victim's baby.
According to the DA's office, the victim impact hearing became emotional as one of the victim's grandmothers stated that the defendant had stolen the childhood of the victim. The grandmother was accompanied to the stand by the victim and by BACA, Bikers Against Child Abuse, whose members consoled the victim and the grandmother as she told the jury her plight.
The other grandmother also took the stand and told the jury of the effects of the defendant's act upon the family. She ordered the defendant to look at her as she tore up a picture of the family that contained Horton's image. She told him that he tore up their family the same way that she tore up the picture. She told Horton that the family was serving a life sentence and that he should have to serve a life sentence also.
The defendant refused to look at her keeping his eyes downcast or occasionally looking at the judge or his attorney.
As the judge sentenced the defendant to life in prison, spectators in the courtroom erupted in spontaneous applause.
Under Louisiana law, aggravated rape carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.

|Wetlands: steadiest of wildlife habitat
By Kurt Krueger
WETLAND habitat is one of the few natural wonders in America that is being effectively protected today, thanks to a 76-year commitment from Ducks Unlimited (DU) and its volunteers across the North American continent.
The numbers are staggering — the preservation of almost 14 million acres of wetlands and conservation influence on another 12 million acres in the United States and Canada.
It is because of that incredible turnaround since the Dust Bowl days of 1937, when duck hunters founded DU, that hunters have enjoyed 12 straight years of 60-day seasons, a six-duck daily bag limit and more than 100 days of Canada goose hunting.The feat becomes more

On Tuesday night, San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt was hit on the wrist by a Trever Miller fastball. The Giants' rookie was in obvious pain, but he stayed in the game. Later, after diving for a ground ball, he left the game
He was expected to be day-to-day, and though he was still too sore to swing a bat, the Giants were expecting to have him back within a week. So it was a surprise, then, when this came through the official SF Giants Twitter feed:
Following today's game #SFGiants have placed Brandon Belt on DL with hairline fracture in left wrist. Conor Gillaspie recalled from Fresno
It seemed like just two months ago that Giants fans were thrilled to watch a lineup with homegrown favorites like Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval, and Brandon Belt -- mostly because it was two months ago. A lot has changed for a team that managed to avoid a crushing injury at all in 2010, as all three of those players are on the DL now.
From John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle:
Belt said he was told hairline fracture would heal in a month, but he expects to play before it heals. Timetable up to 3 weeks.
Bad news for a rookie who had just recently found his way back into the starting lineup, and whom the Giants were expecting to provide some of the offense that Posey and Sandoval took with them to the disabled list.
Gillaspie is a 23-year-old third basemen with a career .284/.350/.402 minor league line, and it's doubtful that he'll see any significant playing time.
If a member of the Giants organization is reading this, I'll just leave this link for you to pass along to the powers that be.

CATEGORIES MoviesIf the first trailer for "The Great Gatsby" left you somewhat scratching your head, the newly released clip will leave you twirling you Meyer Wolfsheim-moustache in delight.
Baz Lurhmann's much anticipated (and much delayed) adaptation, stars (swoon) Leonardo DiCaprio as the eponymous Gatsby, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway and Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan. The film is a (very) updated take on the classic Fitzgerald novel. "Gatsby" in 3D may not be the way you had imaged the world of East Egg to appear, but, don't despair, English majors, the movie will follow the same iconic story of the wealthy Jay Gatsby and his curious neighbor, Carraway.
With so much glitter, Leo in a pool, heated stares, this is the flapper-tastic speckle we've been waiting for! Fitzy, beaming with pride.
Take a look at the trailer above. "The Great Gatsby" hits theaters May 10.

For the cookies
5 cups flour, plus more for rolling and cutting the dough
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup butter-flavored vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark molasses
2 large eggs
For the royal icing
1 pound confectioners' sugar (about 4 cups), sifted
1/4 cup meringue powder
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon orange extract
Gel or paste food coloring, for decorating (see headnote)
Luster dust, for decorating (see headnote)
For the cookies: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cloves and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Combine the shortening and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer; beat on low speed until well blended, then add the molasses and eggs, beating until well incorporated. Stop to scrape down the bowl.
Gradually add the flour mixture (on low speed) to form a sticky dough. Divide into quarters; shape each one into a flattened disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
Lightly dust each disk of dough with flour and place it between sheets of wax paper. Roll to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Lift off and reserve the top layer of wax paper. Dip the stocking cookie cutter in flour and cut out 8 stocking shapes in the dough, peeling away the excess dough. Use a sharp knife to score U-shaped channels in 4 of the stocking shapes; this will help create the space for holding the cookie pops. (Cut off their loops.) Use the smaller round cutters to create round cookies that will be affixed to sticks. Arrange the stockings and other cutouts on the baking sheets. Freeze for about 15 minutes or until the dough is firm but not frozen.
Position racks in the upper and middle sections of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees.

The Career Resource Library has books with tips and strategies to approaching these essays. Following are a few tips to get you started:
• Answer the Questions asked in the directions and stay within the page or word limit provided.
• Tell your story - This is your opportunity to show the individual behind the application. Discuss your unique background and your passion for the field. Be specific about your interest in their graduate program and why you will be a good fit. Use specific, concrete examples. The essay is not a life story; strive for depth not breadth.
• Strong Writing. The essay will be viewed as one sample of your writing. Avoid grammatical errors and typos. Avoid using cliché language like, "I want to be a psychologist because I am a people person." Avoid repeating information that is found in your resume and application.
• Start early so you have time to write several drafts. Make sure to request that career counselors, your advisor, faculty in your department or The Writing Center review and provide feedback.

Albany Police are asking people to give them more information about four weekend shootings. But even many of the victims are scared to speak up.
One man was shot, and more than a half dozen other people put in jeopardy from bullets being fired around them, including several children.
Police say that is part of the problem arresting the shooters, even the victims are not always telling them everything they know. The people we talked with said they were too scared even to show their faces on camera, because they believe gangs were involved in the shootings. And they did not want to get involved.
Bullet holes riddle the walls and broken windows on Flintlock Drive. A young lady living in the home said Westside gang members invaded the home early Sunday morning, breaking up a party.
"I don't know if they jealous or what, but they shot our house up. They ran through our house and they shot our house up. It was babies in here, and they know," said a shooting victim who was too afraid to be identified.
18 year old Shaquille Mathis suffered a bullet wound to his left leg. The woman who lives there said it was just lucky more were not shot. "They need to grow up," the victim said. "I guess they still gang banging." Was it a gang thing? "I guess."
About three hours later several shots were fired into a home on Avalon Avenue, with several children inside. The mother said she also thought gangs were involved. "It probably is, but I don't understand. If it is gang related, I don't understand why they came here. They know no boys don't here, so…." said the second shooting victim.
Police are investigating those and two other shootings over the weekend, to see if they are related or involve gangs. But even the victims are giving very little information to get these gunmen off the streets. "That's the hindrance or the issue that we come across. People don't want to talk. But that's the only way that we are going to prevent these shootings from occurring," said APD Media Manager Phyllis Banks.
Most of the people we talked to said they believe gangs were involved in these shootings, but either did not want to get involved, or were too scared to give any information.
Will there be any retaliation? "I hope not because two wrongs don't make a right. And it's just going to keep on until somebody else die," said the first victim.
A real danger after such a violent weekend in four different areas in Albany. Police are asking that the community give them information to stop these gangs.
You can stay anonymous, and hopefully stop some of these shootings that obviously endanger everyone.
Anyone with any information about these weekend shootings, or potential gang attacks, can call CRIMESTOPPERS at 436-TIPS.

Index series A-Z
FTSE partnered with ASFA in 2009, the peak industry body that represents all aspects of the Australian superannuation industry, to provide Australian superannuation funds, fund managers and other stakeholders with industry standard after-tax benchmarks developed specifically to assist the industry's transition to after-tax performance measurement and reporting.
An increasing number of Australian superannuation funds are now measuring their fund managers on an after-tax basis using the FTSE ASFA Australia Index Series.
In addition to superannuation funds, the FTSE ASFA Australia Index Series uses varying tax rates to provide tax-adjusted "franking credits" indices for all types of investors:
These indices take into account franking credits attached to dividend distribution, franking credits attached to off-market buy-backs and the capital gains tax from participating in off-market buy-backs.
Australian Superannuation funds have an additional range of after-tax benchmarks which calculate both realised and unrealised capital gains tax. Whether it's optimising value from franking credits, participating in off-market buy-backs, managing capital gains tax more efficiently or all three, superannuation funds have a range of benchmarking solutions to make tax efficient investing a focus in every portfolio.
The FTSE ASFA Australia Index Series is designed primarily for benchmarking purposes and can also be used as the basis for the creation of index-linked products such as Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), structured products and other derivatives.
The series includes both non tax-adjusted indices and tax-adjusted indices for each of the following:

Your Black News: Where Is The Black Agenda For Barack Obama?
The first black president of the United States cannot credibly govern without a national black agenda. But don't depend on him to front it.
For the last 22 months, Sen. Barack Obama had one priority: getting elected.
Black progressives have a different, urgent mission: to put meat on the bones of a black economic and social compact.
It's payback time. [...]
Obama knows that if black people allow parochial and self-interested operators to nibble away at his ankles, black America will be the biggest loser.
But the conversation is long overdue.
Obama's dodge around race was exquisitely choreographed. Practically the only black concerns he has addressed are his weak nod to affirmative action and his stump-speech admonishments to wayward black fathers and that trifling "Cousin Pookie" — a name he often referenced in his speeches to black audiences. [...]
Black progressives need to now lay out an agenda. Start with equitable educational opportunities for African Americans. Fifty-four years after Brown v. Board of Education, black schoolchildren are still relegated to the bottom of the educational opportunity barrel [...]

LAWRENCE — Just a little over two years ago, drug dealer Johan Saint Clair allegedly opened fire with a semi-automatic handgun, spraying bullets into the Broadway nightclub La Guira killing two people and wounding two others in what authorities described as a "revenge" attack.
Today, opening arguments are expected in Saint Clair's double murder trial on top floor of Lawrence Superior Court.
The bloody crime was considered retribution against a Lawrence-based kidnapping gang that previously stole large amounts of cocaine from Saint Clair, according to court documents released late last month.
Killed on July 6, 2010 were Amarilis Roldon, 24, of Dorchester, and Juan Esteban Suazo-Soto, 24, of Hyde Park. La Guira shooting survivors Valerie Verdejo and Jose Luis Medrano Baez are listed as potential trial witnesses.
One of the survivors told police of their involvement in a robbery with Suazo-Soto of Saint Clair for "multiple kilograms of cocaine," according to court documents.
Saint Clair is charged with two counts of first degree murder, two counts of armed assault with intent to murder, two counts of armed assault by means of a dangerous weapon and illegal possession of a large capacity weapon.
A conviction of first degree murder carries a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
Jury selection in the case started yesterday morning. Judge Richard Welch told the potential pool the trial would last two weeks. Saint Clair and his defense attorney Russell Sobelman of Lynn along with Prosecutors James Gubitoise and Jessica Strasnick introduced themselves to jurors yesterday.
Saint Clair, 32, wore headphones in court. Seated next to him was a court interpreter, who translated the proceedings from English to Spanish for him.
Lawrence police witnesses that could be called to testify include Detective Capt. Denis Pierce, Detectives Thomas Burke and Brian Voisine, officers PJ Lopez, Joseph Padellaro and Nelson Potter, according to a witness list Welch yesterday described as "over inclusive."

With Thanksgiving two weeks away, giving may be on your mind. How do you teach your children to give? Any parent can tell you that's a tough one. Children love to GET things, not give. Actually that goes for all ages.
The holiday want lists are starting to take shape. 'Tis the season for getting, especially for children. Nothing naughty about that, but how do you teach your kids about giving? We went to Betty Casey, editor of TulsaKids Magazine, to tackle that sometimes difficult chore. She gave us some advice.
Casey says giving is an ongoing process that parents need to instill in their children, during the holiday season and beyond.

Advocate Lutheran General Hospital treats more patients with breast cancer than any other type of cancer. The team at the Caldwell Breast Center takes a collaborative approach to the treatment of breast cancer. All imaging and screening mammography functions are now located in the same building. The multidisciplinary team includes plastic and reconstructive surgery, medical oncology, genetics, radiation oncology and breast health nurse educators.
The treatment options for patients with breast cancer depend upon many factors. Options can include surgery (removal of the cancer alone or, in some cases, mastectomy), radiation therapy, hormonal therapy and/or chemotherapy. The multidisciplinary team at Lutheran General Hospital collectively reviews each breast cancer case and develops a treatment option that best suits the needs of each patient. This methodology benefits the patient by giving them a well rounded opinion without having to schedule multiple appointments.
Research has yielded an abundant amount of information about the causes of breast cancers, and it is now believed that genetic and/or hormonal factors are the primary risk factors. The Lutheran General Hospital team of medical oncologists has developed preventative, early detection and treatment staging systems to assist in characterizing the extent to which a particular cancer has or could have a likelihood of occurring. These staging systems allow the physicians to make important decisions concerning treatment options.
Genetic counseling is available at the Caldwell Breast Center to help patients understand their cancer risks based on family history or their own experience with cancer.
Among the special screening and diagnostic technologies, treatment options and follow-up services available through the Breast Center are digital mammography, cryoblation, Breast MRI Mammotome, accelerated partial breast radiation therapy, bone densitometry and genetic counseling. Two of the newest technologies that Advocate Lutheran General Hospital features are digital mammography and accelerated partial breast radiation therapy.
This state-of-the-art-digital breast cancer screening technology is available at Lutheran General Hospital's Caldwell Breast Center. This technology allows radiologists to view and manipulate images on high-resolution computer monitors that enhance visualization of the structures within the breast tissue. Brightness and zoom can be adjusted on specific areas to help detect small calcifications, masses and other changes that may be signs of early cancer. The new screening tool limits radiation exposure and produces enhanced images that reduce the need for additional mammograms.
This therapy is used to reduce the risk of cancer coming back after surgery by focusing radiation on only the area of the breast where the tumor has been surgically removed. There are two ways to accomplish the administration of APBI-high-dose rate breast brachytherapy or the MammositeTM catheter technique. Both of these methods are performed on an outpatient basis.

Also known as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or DEXA scanning, bone densitometry is an enhanced form of x-ray technology used to accurately detect osteoporosis.
Back to the top
Clinical trials are research studies used to find new treatments and ways to improve outcomes. They may determine whether experimental treatments are safe and effective, or whether there are new ways to use existing therapies safely.
Lutheran General Hospital's Center for Cancer Care is involved in pioneering studies of potential cancer prevention and treatment drugs as well as new treatment techniques in radiation therapy. These research activities, combined with the latest technology and expertise, allow us to provide our patients with alternatives to standard therapy and additional choices for their care. Patients who participate in clinical trials not only may gain access to new treatments before they are widely available, but can play an important role by contributing to medical research that can help others.
Because Lutheran General Hospital frequently participates in cancer-related clinical trials, we are often looking for patients to take part in these studies. To learn more about cancer-related clinical trials at Lutheran General Hopsital, click here.

In addition to the Advocate studies, researchers across the country are conducting clinical trials for which participants are needed. For more information on current research, visit the:

Through clinical trials and research, our cancer program is committed to providing the latest advancements in the fight against cancer.

EAST KINGSTON — We were excited to learn that Alice Monroe is the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Literature. A Canadian author, Ms. Monroe's short stories have been featured in many publications. A short story is a bit like a poem and Monroe's work is to be savored. Some of her stories are inter-connected and read like a novel. All of her stories have a strong sense of place. Many of her stories are set in the small Canadian towns around Lake Huron. In some the characters venture into cities and twists of fate or actions not taken alter their lives. These are subtle pleasures to read and enjoy.
The short story writer must infuse her characters with life with just a few words. A sense of place must be built in paragraphs rather than pages. It is good to see the respect this art form is being given and readers may like to sample our Year's Best Short Story Collections or sample authors like George Saunders, a MacArthur Fellow, who wrote the critically acclaimed, "Tenth of December" or take out "The Color Master" by Aimee Bender.
This fall new titles abound to suit every taste. I just put new books on the shelves by John Grisham, Jayne Anne Phillips, Robert B. Parker and Donna Tartt. I look forward to Amy Tan's new novel that will be released in November.
So explore a new genre and enjoy some of the best new titles of the fall at the East Kingston Public Library.

How to Throw a Fabulous Party on a Budget
October 6, 2011 | Posted By: Liz Krause | Categorized in: Entertainment, Food & Dining Out
Hosting social events for friends and family is always enjoyable, but can be very expensive. It is always important to keep in mind that the primary goal of entertaining is to spend time with people that you care about. While offering extravagant food and activities are appreciated, not being able to afford to go all the way should not be used as a reason to not get together. Here are some tips to help plan an affordable party.
Fire the Caterer!The cost of a caterer will always be higher than the cost of preparing food yourself. His costs will include labor, equipment depreciation and replacing supplies. If you are not confident in your ability to cook for groups, many large supermarkets and wholesale warehouses offer prepared foods. Trays of food only require warming in the oven before they can be served over sterno heaters. Platters of cold foods are placed on divided platters and can be presented without any work at all.
Cook It Yourself... Somewhere ElseFor hosts who enjoy cooking but have limited kitchen space, there are businesses that provide large, clean kitchens and prepared ingredients. While these services are more expensive than purchasing the ingredients and preparing them from scratch, many people find the time saved is worthwhile. Half the fun is knowing that you can cook and then leave the cleanup to a professional team!
Select Your Ingredients With CareIts easy to go overboard on fancy treats when planning your menu. In truth, your guests will be just as impressed if you serve a few special foods and make up the balance with inexpensive, easily prepared foods that are served attractively. Start menu planning by selecting two or three premium ingredients and then create the rest of the meal to highlight them.
For example, moderate amounts of local seafood supported by generous amounts of roasted chicken, fresh salad, buttery corn on the cob and boiled red skinned potatoes with fresh parsley will leave all of the guests full. If you can afford to hire help, guests who are served plates will eat and waste less food than guests who are offered a buffet table.
K.I.S.S.Avoid fussy foods that require extensive intricate preparation. Even if the ingredients are cheap, the time spent on cooking for a crowd can be problematic. If the flavors are not changed, modifying dishes so that the ingredients are presented more simply usually is just as impressive. This is a good time to pull out those coupons for name brand food products. Look for websites, like this one here at fatwallet.com to find super bargains.
Buon Appetito!Italian dishes are ideal for catering large groups because they focus on a few, high quality ingredients prepared simply. This will save the host both money and time. Chicken marsala or homemade Italian sausages with peppers and onions with lots of extra sauce can be served with trays of Italian pasta to feed large groups without appearing to be stingy.
Use Tools Appropriate to the TaskUsing appropriate tools for the job at hand can be the difference between a well prepared meal and dishes that should not be served to company. Even something as basic as a properly sharpened knife makes the cooks work simpler. When slicing large amounts of meat or cheese, using a meat slicing machine guarantees evenly sized, attractive slices. Even an electric knife can help get the job done.
If you own a meat grinder, it can be used to grind custom blends of meat for far less money than a gourmet butcher would charge and will be fresher than anything the supermarket can provide. Grinding hot smoked bacon with large cuts of beef adds a fantastic flavor that most people have never experienced. For juicy meatballs, a blend of beef and pork is always enjoyed. If you don't have a manual or an electric meat grinder, ask your butcher to grind if for you - this ensures the meat is fresh and you have better control over the quality of the mix.
Avoid Evening PartiesDaytime parties are generally less expensive because guests eat less at lunchtime than at dinner. Many people expect alcohol to be served in the evening but are not surprised if a lunchtime party is dry. Additionally, there are generally more inexpensive options for renting party sites during the day than in the evening.
Enjoy the OutdoorsHosting a party in your home can be difficult. Even if the guests dont leave a mess behind, accommodating everybody comfortably may not be possible. Renting a party site can be expensive, therefore, many restaurants will offer space for parties, but will not permit outside food or beverages to be brought in. Therefore, you might consider using outdoor locations for your event.
For housing complexes with common space, it may not be necessary to go very far. If you do not have a clubhouse available to you, many fire departments offer inexpensive party space.
In addition, while parks and other public settings are more casual than having parties indoors, the savings make it worth considering. Additionally, having a party near a playground makes inviting families with children more comfortable. Call the Parks Department to find out if there are any available pavilions with electricity and bathrooms.
Money should never be a reason for not getting together with friends and family. These tips will help you host a fabulous party without anybody knowing you were economizing.
