Book Description:
Lakota Vision Quest - A Man Among the HelpersThe year was 1989. Spiritual forces were at work, calling out to those who could hear. The damage to the world that humans inflicted had just passed a critical point; the Earth could no longer be healed physically. A spiritual calling was being shouted from deep within the earth for aid, many people heard the call at this time. All over the world contemporary humans turned to traditional indigenous people for help. Many began seeking to live a more balanced, spiritual life.It was during this time that I unexpectedly received a great Vision, a Vision that changed my life and transformed me from a self-centered teenager into a healer. I embarked on a mission, learning what this calling meant and what I needed to do. Within a few months I began helping a Native American Medicine family in sacred ceremonies. Within a few years I was living with, and had married into this family, one of the last direct links to ancient Native American medicine.In that time of my youth I set up the altar for sacred Lakota ceremonies. I worked with Benjamin Godfrey Chipps, a Spiritual Interpreter of the Oglala Lakota Sioux; a practitioner of the "Yuwipi" ceremony with blood links to its originator. I spent over 10 years being educated in traditional medicine and healing practices. Through this medicine I learned the healing power of the earth. I became a translator for the ceremonies which are bridges linking the ancient Lakota way of life to the present moment.Now the calling has brought me back into mainstream America. Over these past few years I have come to understand better my purpose in learning these sacred ways; to help remind this modern world of the sacred knowledge and the true meaning of Health and Happiness.My story and the information contained in this book are based on my personal experience. This book describes Native American concepts, philosophies and actual ceremonies from a modern perspective. Within this text is a template for each person with the desire and heart to find his or her own Vision.Walk with your heart and mind together as one and the path will unfold before you. ~ Salvatore Gencarelle

"But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more." - Luke 12:48 (ESV)
My mother included this verse on a letter she gave to me in the weeks leading up to my high school graduation. The words gave me goosebumps.
But those words never impacted me quite like they did the summer after my freshman year of college.
That summer, I was blessed to be a part of a Summer Study Abroad trip to Turkey. I admit that a big influence in my participation in this trip was the fact that it was being led by my favorite professor and his wife. Also, I had always had a sort of "wanderlust" and figured that I might as well seize the opportunity to travel.
But going on that trip turned out to be much more than "traveling". That trip changed my life.
Turkey is a Muslim country, and we spent a lot of our time there learning about Islam, talking with imams (Muslim priests), and staying with Muslim host families. Coming face to face with a different religion (and one that had not been portrayed so nicely in the American media) was a lot to take in. Talking to Muslims about their faith was eye-opening, convicting, humbling, and, most of all, heartbreaking.
During my trip, I was very angry with God. My host family had displayed love and hospitality unlike I'd ever seen from any Christian, and I wondered how God could have the nerve to send these people to hell. I was angry because life didn't seem fair. It didn't seem fair that these people were born in a Muslim country with basically no choice but to be Muslim, while I enjoyed religious liberties and easily-accessible Christianity in my life in America. It didn't seem fair that these people, with servant hearts so full of love, kindness, and hospitality, were eternally damned, while the seemingly half-hearted, self-serving Christians back home (including myself!) would enjoy an eternity with Jesus simply by "asking Him into their heart."
I felt like I was winning some sort of sick, twisted lottery.
But, one day, as I was tearfully watching my sweet host grandmother say her daily namaz (prayers) in her unhindered devotion to Allah, God hit me with something:
"I love her, Katie. I love her. I love her. I love her."
My eyes fill with tears as I recall this moment. God's love was so powerful in that moment; so present, so real. The words of John 3:16 echoed in my mind as I was reminded that "God so loved the WORLD."
Though she think of him only as a highly respected prophet, Jesus died for my host grandmother. He died for my host family. He died for the people of Cappadocia, the people of Turkey, the people of Islam, and of Hinduism, and of Buddhism, and of Judaism, and of Sikhism, and of Wicca; for the people of all religious (and nonreligious) groups, everywhere. And He desperately desires each individual to come to know Him.
Here I was, furious that God would just send these people to hell, when the words of Luke 12:48 came to mind.
"To whom much was given, much will be required."
And I realized I have truly been given much, and not just in terms of material wealth or education. I have been given the privilege of being born into a Christian family and in a nation where it is so easy for me to come to know Jesus. I have been entrusted with the Christian faith. I have been given grace. I have been given forgiveness. I have been given unconditional love. I have been given Jesus.
And, because of that, much will be required of me.
I will be required to give of my money and my time and my life. With the power of the Holy Spirit, I will be required to love people radically and serve people selflessly. With the power of the Holy Spirit, I will be required to show others Jesus - in word and in action. I will be required to "go and make disciples of all nations."
And that is exactly what I want to do, knowing that this is not my life, but God's; it is not my work, but the Holy Spirit's.
I am blessed to have the opportunity to go on a Summer of Service through Northwestern College this summer. For 8 weeks, I will be in Chiang Mai, Thailand via the missions organization Pioneers, teaching English, doing relational ministry, and loving people. I am so excited to see what God will teach me on this trip.
And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, I am going to live like much is required of me.

Very moving Katie, can't wait to hear more this summer!!!ReplyDelete
Yes! I'm so happy about this- all of it! I was literally just thinking, "Katie has great thoughts. I think she should start a blog so she can share them with more people." You're wonderful.ReplyDelete
Well written as usual. Excited for you as I know you're going to have another stretching experience. That's a good thing.ReplyDelete
Go in the peace of Christ; the peace that passes all expectations.

What to do with a giant cast iron Dutch oven?
My wonderful boyfriend got me a huge cast iron Dutch oven for my birthday... In may. I haven't really used it yet, mostly because it's kind of dauntingly large and heavy. What should I make in it? How do you use your Dutch ovens?
re: Terrie H.
Giant isn't a precise enough measurement? :)
I think 9 quarts.
re: starburn
Well damn, that IS giant!! ;p
Will be great for pot roasts, briskets, whole chickens, etc. Probably not too useful for weeknight dinners for 2, but making some weekend meals with good leftovers for freezing.
Again, wow - that must weigh a whole lot!
re: Terrie H.
Yeah, it weighs a ton and I've got no upper body strength to speak of so it's a little daunting
re: starburn
My suggestion is to do a little searching on this board and your favorite other cooking sites for braising, pot roast, short ribs, braised and/or roasted chicken - anything that comes to mind that could be browned then braised in the same pot. That's the beauty of the cast iron. If lifting it in and put of the oven when it's full, rethink your cooking method so you can cook in top of the stove. And make sure the BF is around to help with the heavy lifting should you need it!
re: starburn
9 quarts. Nine.
Good lord, if you haven't used it yet, can you exchange it?
6 - 8 quart works great for soup, stews and the lovely no knead bread recipe. But 9 quarts? It does show your guys complete love for you -- "Bigger is better, and she deserves the best!"
And he must think you are small but mighty. Yow!
re: happybaker
You hit the nail on the head, it was a totally sweet gesture that he ordered a full month before my birthday because he heard me mention that I wanted one. I'd love to get another smaller, preferably coated one (sometimes it's hard when people give you thoughtful gifts and you aren't able to specify the one you want, isn't it?) once it won't seem like I'm replacing his gift. In the meantime, I'd like to get some use out of this one, but will probably need him to lift it
re: starburn
That is a really big dutch oven. I would have returned it. I mean how often am I making a braised dish for 18 people? But, you do own this lovely thing, so I suspect you want ideas more than my sympathy.
Do you have any freezer space? What do the two of you love to eat during the winter? I would concentrate on these types of things.... make really large batches of a beef stew, traditional chili, duck ragu, bolognaise... anything with a saucy component will freeze beautifully.
re: starburn
Basically everything I make in my 7 quart except I have a little more room, baked beans, chili, soups, gumbo, étouffée, goulash act
ok I was thinking it was enameled cast iron. If it's plain iron then remove the ones with tomatoes.
Mine gets used for long braised of roasts, stews, etc. (so not so much use over the summer!) But lately its been getting called into action to make dog food. But that's another story!
The giant cast pot that I have is round with a sloping bottom, so it's more of a cauldron...really that's what my guy calls it. it's easy 9 qrts, I leave it on the stove and use it for just about anything that isn't tomato based. Soup, stew, stir fry, some deep frying. I blanched all my winter veg in it, and lots of fruit/jam type stuff.
It is one heavy mother to lift tho.
This hits near and dear to my heart. After a few years of dating, I asked my then boyfriend (now DH) for a cast iron dutch oven. I was expecting a le creuset or similar enameled knockoff. He bought me a MASSIVE camping dutch oven(10-12 qts - much larger than my 7.5qt le creuset), complete with legs, a lid with a lip to hold coals, and a special tool to remove the VERY HEAVY lid. I use it to make pork butt in the oven once a year or so (I have to remove the second oven rack because they don't both fit in there with the DO) A couple years ago I built a fire pit sized perfectly for the dutch oven but I haven't had the guts to spend an afternoon cooking something in the DO over a fire.
I've always thought it would bake pretty amazing bread over the coals (massively hot) but once again, I haven't gotten around to it.
re: LaureltQ
I've been oogling those for scout camping trips but, yeah, not too useful around the house. I think I'd go with a return/exchange, done as lovingly as possible of course.
re: LaureltQ
You can cook in the coals of a fireplace with it, indoors.
re: LaureltQ
Those camp dutch ovens are a whole different world from the ones usually discussed on this forum. They are never enamel coated (OP - is your's coated?). Size is usually measured in diameters. A 10" if shallow is only 3qt, but more likely 4 or 5, 12" is the most common, but they are made even larger. The amount of coals that you use depends on the diameter.
There are web sites and books dedicated to this type of cooking, with names like ... Dutch Oven Society, chuck wagon cooking, etc.
Ones with legs can be used in the oven, if they aren't too heavy or large. The legs usually fit between the bars of the oven rack. But if you haven't seasoned the pot, you probably don't want to braise something in it.
I have an anodized aluminum 10" camp dutch oven that is quite useful at home. But this size does not have legs; instead it sits on a low tripod when using coals.
re: paulj
Mine came pre-seasoned but is probably at least 6-8" deep. It's massive.
The legs fit between the bars of the oven rack. I'd love to be able to use it on the stovetop (I'm not too concerned with acidic things in seasoned cast iron) but the legs would scratch up my stupid smooth top stove.
re: LaureltQ
One of the easiest things to do in a DO like that is biscuits. Use a regular dough, even from a mix or fridge can. Start briquettes in a chimney starter, about 2xdiameter in inches (e.g. 24 for a 12"). When they are all lit and mostly white, put about 1/3 on a fireproof surface, set the DO over those, and put the rest of briquettes on the lid.
I'm not sure if it is better to put the dough in a cold over or a hot one. They'll take longer in the cold, but it will also be easier to load when cold. Count on about about 20 minutes baking time.
Another easy one is a dump cake cobbler, though it is messier.
There are plenty of sites that talk about using this type of DO.
re: LaureltQ
The dutch oven and coals can be used when camping.
I have tested some recipes in my smaller DO in the home oven, but I've used coals at home only a few times.
is a camp cooking forum
has some nice photos
a video
Flowers ... preferabbly dried so you don't have to change the water. Or a planter.
Listen, you aren't going to be using this often,and it is going to take up shelf space. Turn it into a decorative item between dishes.
It really is a sweet thought and sees like it would be cool to have it on display.
Starburn, here is a recipe I use my cast iron Dutch oven for, although I have no idea the size of mine. You could always double the recipe as this recipe just serves 4.
Braised Loin of Pork
1.25 lbs boneless pork loin
2 c chopped onions
1 cub diced carrots
12 oz beer
1 clove garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
salt/pepper to taste.
Brown pork in Dutch oven on all sides; remove to platter. Add onion &carrots to pan drippings and mix well. Saute 5 mintues or until brown. Stir in the beer, bay leaves, salt/pepper. Return pork to Dutch oven and cover. Baked at 350 for 2 hours or til pork is tender. Discard bay leaves. Slice pork in to 1/4 inches. Place on serving platter. Process veggies and drippings in food processor til pureed. Pour over pork and serve.
Whatever you do, don't heat it on the stovetop without some liquid in it. My le creuset that I've had for 3 years popped several pieces of enamel during the heating process - and it was only on medium. Otherwise, loved the pan and used it constantly.
Ina Garten's 4-hour leg of lamb would probably work great in that pot. I made a much smaller leg in my 5.5 quart DO. On her show, she made it with white beans that she cooked in the same pot towards the end of the lamb's cooking time. It was heavenly. I served with quinoa on the side.
4-hour lamb recipe:
White bean recipe:
If you have some freezer space, you could also use it to make big batches of stock that you could then freeze in 1 quart jars. Then you don't have to buy boxed or can stock for recipes and you can make homemade soups in a snap. A batch of white chili you could freeze in smaller portions would probably be fantastic in there, too.
This is good for breaking your wrist getting out of the oven, or even more likely; hurting your back and sending you to the chiropractor for 6 visits in two weeks...
I find that large and heavy of a pot simply doesn't get used much, since it is so large/unwieldy.
If you do use it, PLEASE have assistance on hand when you have to move it from top of stove to oven for braising, or to take it out! Back-up and spotting are not to be underrated in such situations.
Have a big dinner party!
Is it possible that you could find a rack to fit in it and use it for steaming tamales?
My darling son bought me that humongus huge pasta put with a steam rack from W&S for Christmas one year. At first I didn't know what I was going to do with it. But the I've made tamales in it, perfect for corn on the cob and artichokes- for parties, used it as a hot water bath for jams, etc. I mean I do use it. I recently saw where they made a pork butt in one of those large dutch ovens. You know how pork butts are, they are really large when they're raw and then after cooked end up not so large, so I'm thinking you could make pulled pork too.
I'd keep it.
oh and I just thought about:lobsters, mussels and clams, or a New England boiled dinner!
I'd give a turkey a try...even when you roast it it can be dry in some spots. You could roast a rockin' bird or at least a couple of chickens. Or have a ginormous chili party with 40 friends. He's such a nice guy to get you this...hope you cook huge amounts in it for people you like.
What kind of DO is it? Does it have legs, or is it a flat bottom, and a no lip top? Can you post a picture of it?
We used a DO on Scout outings all the time. Our DO's have the legs, and the lid rim to hold coals. Where I live they have a DO cook-off every year. For recipes just Google DO cooking. A BSA service center will also have a DO cookbook.
We made stews, cobblers, and any other meal that you could make at home in the field.
I have several 12', and a couple of 10" ones here. They are fun for backyard bbq's , as they are not seen by a lot of folks.
If Lodge it could be this 9 qt model
with a spiral bail handle
13-1/4" dia., Depth: 4-3/4"
is camp dutch oven, 8qt, 14" diameter if shallow, 12" if deep.

In the mid-1970s, Nichols has given a speech that criticized NASA for not selecting women and people of color as astronaut candidates. The agency's response was to hire her to find and recruit talented minorities and women, and she did exactly that. In her tenure as a recruiter, she helped the agency bring five women, three African American men and an Asian American male on board.
if you don't think this lady is the best. You're lying to yourself and we can't be friends
I love the way that history works behind the scenes
You got Lucille Ball pushing to make Star Trek happen
You got MLK pleading with Nichelle to stay on the show
And then you get Nichelle helping motherfuckers get jobs at NASA
that is the tightest shit and if you don't like you can get off my blog
"There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex. I have a big problem with that." - JK Rowling
Can we talk about Susan's fabulous adventures after Narnia? The ones where she wears nylons and elegant blouses when she wants to, and short skirts and bright lipstick when she wants to, and hiking boots and tough jeans and big men's plaid shirts when she feels like backpacking out into the mountains and remembering what it was to be lost in a world full of terrific beauty— I know her siblings say she stops talking about it, that Susan walks away from the memories of Narnia, but I don't think she ever really forgot.
I want to read about Susan finishing out boarding school as a grown queen reigning from a teenaged girl's body. School bullies and peer pressure from children and teachers who treat you like you're less than sentient wouldn't have the same impact. C'mon, Susan of the Horn, Susan who bested the DLF at archery, and rode a lion, and won wars, sitting in a school uniform with her eyebrows rising higher and higher as some old goon at the front of the room slams his fist on the lectern.
Susan living through WW2, huddling with her siblings, a young adult (again), a fighting queen and champion marksman kept from the action, until she finally storms out against screaming parents' wishes and volunteers as a nurse on the front. She keeps a knife or two hidden under her clothes because when it comes down to it, they called her Gentle, but sometimes loving means fighting for what you care for.
She'll apply to a women's college on the East Coast, because she fell in love with America when her parents took her there before the war. She goes in majoring in Literature (her ability to decipher High Diction in historical texts is uncanny), but checks out every book she can on history, philosophy, political science. She sneaks into the boys' school across town and borrows their books too. She was once responsible for a kingdom, roads and taxes and widows and crops and war. She grew from child to woman with that mantle of duty wrapped around her shoulders. Now, tossed here on this mundane land, forever forbidden from her true kingdom, Susan finds that she can give up Narnia but she cannot give up that responsibility. She looks around and thinks I could do this better.
I want Susan sneaking out to drink at pubs with the girls, her friends giggling at the boys checking them out from across the way, until Susan walks over (with her nylons, with her lipstick, with her sovereignty written out in whatever language she damn well pleases) and beats them all at pool. Susan studying for tests and bemoaning Aristotle and trading a boy with freckles all over his nose shooting lessons so that he will teach her calculus. Susan kissing boys and writing home to Lucy and kissing girls and helping smuggle birth control to the ladies in her dorm because Susan Pevensie is a queen and she understands the right of a woman to rule over her own body.
Susan losing them all to a train crash, Edmund and Peter and Lucy, Jill and Eustace, and Lucy and Lucy and Lucy, who Susan's always felt the most responsible for. Because this is a girl who breathes responsibility, the little mother to her three siblings until a wardrobe whisked them away and she became High Queen to a whole land, ruled it for more than a decade, then came back centuries later as a legend. What it must do to you, to be a legend in the body of a young girl, to have that weight on your shoulders and have a lion tell you that you have to let it go. What is must do to you, to be left alone to decide whether to bury your family in separate ceremonies, or all at once, the same way they died, all at once and without you. What it must do to you, to stand there in black, with your nylons, and your lipstick, and feel responsible for these people who you will never be able to explain yourself to and who you can never save.
Maybe she dreams sometimes they made it back to Narnia after all. Peter is a king again. Lucy walks with Aslan and all the dryads dance. Maybe Susan dreams that she went with them— the train jerks, a bright light, a roar calling you home.
Maybe she doesn't.
Susan grows older and grows up. Sometimes she hears Lucy's horrified voice in her head, "Nylons? Lipstick, Susan? Who wants to grow up?" and Susan thinks, "Well you never did, Luce." Susan finishes her degree, stays in America (England looks too much like Narnia, too much like her siblings, and too little, all at once). She starts writing for the local paper under the pseudonym Frank Tumnus, because she wants to write about politics and social policy and be listened to, because the name would have made Edmund laugh.
She writes as Susan Pevensie, too, about nylons and lipstick, how to give a winning smiles and throw parties, because she knows there is a kind of power there and she respects it. She won wars with war sometimes, in Narnia, but sometimes she stopped them before they began.
Peter had always looked disapprovingly on the care with which Susan applied her makeup back home in England, called it vanity. And even then, Susan would smile at him, say "I use what weapons I have at hand," and not explain any more than that. The boy ruled at her side for more than a decade. He should know better.
Vain is not the proper word. This is about power. But maybe Peter wouldn't have liked the word "ambition" any more than "vanity."
Susan is a young woman in the 50s and 60s. Frank Tumnus has quite the following now. He's written a few books, controversial, incendiary. Susan gets wrapped up in the civil rights movement, because of course she would. It's not her first war. All the same, she almost misses the White Witch. Greed is a cleaner villain than senseless hate. She gets on the Freedom Rider bus, mails Mr. Tumnus articles back home whenever there's a chance, those rare occasions they're not locked up or immediately threatened. She is older now than she ever was in Narnia. Susan dreams about Telemarines killing fauns.
Time rolls on. Maybe she falls in love with a young activist or an old cynic. Maybe she doesn't. Maybe Frank Tumnus, controversial in the moment, brilliant in retrospect, gets offered an honorary title from a prestigious university. She declines and publishes an editorial revealing her identity. Her paper fires her. Three others mail her job offers.
When Vietnam rolls around, she protests in the streets. Susan understands the costs of war. She has lived through not just through the brutal wars of one life, but two.
Maybe she has children now. Maybe she tells them stories about a magical place and a magical lion, the stories Lucy and Edmund brought home about how if you sail long enough you reach the place where the seas fall off the edge of the world. But maybe she tells them about Cinderella instead, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, except Rapunzel cuts off her own hair and uses it to climb down the tower and escape. The damsel uses what tools she has at hand.
A lion told her to walk away, and she did. He forbade her magic, he forbade her her own kingdom, so she made her own.
Susan Pevensie did not lose faith. She found it.

yourfaveistrans asked you:
hi i really loved your drawing and i was wondering if you'd ever consider drawing Johanna as a woman of color? Because i (and i think quite a few other people) always pictured her as Ruth Negga with short hair as she has had in some movies or Linna Carter who played Johanna in this short film. And if you ever did that i'd probably worship you ok thanks.
sure!!! i hope this was kind of what you expected….

In 2007, grassroots organization Puente Human Rights Movement (Puente) came together as a coalition of immigrant rights groups, indigenous peoples, and citizens, who opposed anti-migratory policy and pushed for the conversation of fighting immigrant rights as a for human rights issue in Arizona. Puente originated as a united front organization that protested, documented, and spread public awareness on the harassment and exploitation of day laborers by off duty MCSO deputies. In 2013, Puente has a base membership of over 300 immigrant community members and over 150 allied community members.
Puente's fight to defend human rights for immigrants begins with the repeal of anti-immigration policy that the organization believes violates personal rights. Short-term strategies to defend immigrant rights consist of challenging anti-immigrant laws by working on political campaigns, protesting, civic engagement, and direct action. Throughout the years, Puente has been able to use their political power to mobilize immigrants and citizens both on a state and national level. Puente's political campaigns and victories include their fight in documenting racial profiling abuses by MCSO in 2010. Puente documented and interviewed immigrants who were victims of racial profiling and jail abuse and managed to create a national opposition against the policing practices of MSCO at the expense of immigrant's rights. Puente's work culminated in having the Department of Justice and the FBI investigate the policing practices of MCSO with access to the 287(g) Agreements. Campaign efforts resulted in the removal of 287(g) access for MCSO by the Department of Justice on the justification that federal policy was used to target a specific ethnic group.
Currently, Puente continues to work to challenge existing policy such as SB1070, Operation Streamline, and Arpaio's workplace raids. Moreover, Puente is recognized on a local and national level for their direct action strategy when making political demands for the full inclusion of undocumented immigrants. Puente has built a movement that pushes for political reform by creating different outlets where immigrants are able to build a poltical voice in though their local, national and international networks. Puente organizes in efforts to build a political platform in which all immigrants are able to represent themselves in political sectors such as senate hearings and police department meetings.
Puente operates with an Open Hand Closed Hand strategy that works in tandem to create empowerment of immigrants in the state of Arizona. The Closed Hand organizing philosophy (otherwise recognized as a fist) represents fighting against enforcement. Fighting is conceptualized as fighting against anti-migratory policies through direct action, civic engagement, public awareness, protest, and civil disobedience. The Closed Hand stands as one of the main foundations upon which the organization can bring about political change in the state of Arizona.
The Open Hand philosophy represents Puente's mission to serve the immigrant community by welcoming immigrants and providing a space for immigrants to co-exist as a community. Puente serves to create community by providing free English classes, immigration counseling, Know Your Rights Workshops, gardening, and health and wellness projects. Together the Open Hand and Closed Hand organizing strategy work side by side as a mechanism to empower and educate Arizona immigrants to fight for their rights as workers and human beings in Maricopa County.
As a broader international movement, Puente works as a human rights organization that creates national and international alliances with immigrant, labor, and women's rights in efforts to create a united front to demand human rights for all communities around the world. Puente is one of the few immigrant rights organizations that create political demands using human rights framework and bridges the intersectionality of immigrants and indigenous people of the Northern Americas. Puente's organizational demands as a human rights movement works to achieve their most basic human rights demands: 1) allow immigrants the freedom to freely migrate as stated in UNDIP, 2) allow immigrants to be reunited with family members, 3) immigrants should have the right to work and posses protections as international workers, 4) immigrants have the right to protest and gain a political voice, 5) all people have a right to education, 6) call an end to racial discrimination of all forms against immigrants.

AOL Corp. CEO Tim Armstrong has abandoned an unpopular plan to delay company contributions to employee retirement accounts and apologized for citing two high-cost births as part of the impetus for the plan.
"We heard you on this topic," Armstrong wrote in a letter to employees Saturday.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
In a move to cut costs, AOL had decided to pay matching 401(k) retirement contributions in one lump sum at the end of the year. Workers who left the company before the end of the year would have received no contributions, and all workers would sacrifice interest or earnings on those contributions throughout the year.
After a worker backlash, Armstrong said the company would return to depositing matching contributions every pay period throughout the year.
In the letter Saturday, Armstrong also apologized for bringing up specific health care examples during a town hall meeting in which the retirement plan was discussed. During the meeting, Armstrong cited higher health care costs in general and mentioned the high cost of health care for two women who gave birth to "distressed babies."
"On a personal note, I made a mistake and I apologize for my comments last week," he wrote in the letter.

NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS :: Congenital and Hereditary Disorders
What is hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is a lack of absorption, blockage of flow, or overproduction of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) that is found inside the ventricles (fluid-filled areas) of the brain. This may result in a build up of fluid that can cause the pressure inside of the head to increase and the skull bones to expand to a larger-than-normal appearance.
What causes hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus occurs in approximately one out of 500 births. The following are the primary reasons why hydrocephalus occurs:
Hydrocephalus can occur either as a condition present at birth (congenital), or it can be acquired later in life. When hydrocephalus is not related to a known genetic cause, it is thought that many factors, both genetic and environmental, contribute to the condition. In a small percentage of children, a single gene defect on the X chromosome, or another chromosome, is responsible for the condition. In these cases, the chance for recurrence is higher.
Causes of acquired hydrocephalus may include the following:
What are the symptoms of hydrocephalus?
The following are the most common symptoms of hydrocephalus. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms of hydrocephalus in younger children may include the following:
In cases where hydrocephalus is not congenital, but is due to a tumor, trauma, infection, or other causes, the symptoms typically seen in older children may include the following:
The symptoms of hydrocephalus may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
How is hydrocephalus diagnosed?
Hydrocephalus may be diagnosed before birth by prenatal ultrasound, a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels. In many cases, hydrocephalus does not develop until the third trimester of the pregnancy and, therefore, may not be seen on ultrasounds performed earlier in pregnancy.
The diagnosis of congenital hydrocephalus may also be made at birth after diagnostic testing. During the examination, the physician obtains a complete prenatal and birth history of the child. He/she may also ask if there is a family history of any hydrocephalus or other medical problems. The physician will also ask about developmental milestones in older children since hydrocephalus can be associated with other neuromuscular disorders. Developmental delays may require further medical follow-up for underlying problems.
The child's head may appear larger than normal. A measurement of the circumference of the child's head is taken and compared to a scale that can identify normal and abnormal ranges.
Diagnostic tests that may be performed to confirm the diagnosis of hydrocephalus include:
Treatment of hydrocephalus:
Specific treatment for hydrocephalus will be determined by your child's physician based on:
The goal of treatment is to reduce the pressure in the child's head and to properly drain the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Occasionally, medications or procedures to draw off the extra CSF may be used.
Surgery may be needed for some cases of hydrocephalus. Surgery usually involves placing a mechanical shunting device into the child's head to help drain the extra CSF from the brain and redirect the extra fluid to another part of the body to be absorbed. A common type of shunt is the ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
The shunt consists of three parts:
The shunt redirects the CSF out of the head through the tubing to a location elsewhere in the body where it can be absorbed. The shunt is usually placed behind the ear and the tubing is threaded from behind the ear, under the skin to the area of the abdomen, heart, or lung. Your child's physician will determine the drainage location based on your child's condition, age, and other factors.
Potential complications from the shunts or surgery can include the following:
Other complications may include fever, nausea or vomiting, irritability, headache, redness and swelling along the area of the tubing, or decreased alertness or complaints of being tired. These complications require prompt medical evaluation. Following surgery, you will receive instructions on how to care for your child at home and information about signs or symptoms requiring medical care.
Life-long considerations:
Hydrocephalus can affect the brain and a child's development. The extent of the problem is dependent on the severity of the hydrocephalus and the presence of brain or other organ system problems.
The key to treating hydrocephalus is early detection, treatment, and prevention of infection. A child with hydrocephalus requires frequent medical evaluations to ensure proper shunt function. The medical team works hard with your family to provide education and guidance as your child grows and develops.
Genetic counseling may be recommended by your child's physician to discuss the risk of recurrence in a future pregnancies, as well as prenatal testing for hydrocephalus.

Now the Phillies motivation to go out and get another reliever has hit the wall! Carpenter can go for several innings, but like I said in my earlier article today, Walker is inconsistent at best, and I would not trust Carpenter just yet!
Both Durbin and Romero are right handed pitchers, so maybe they go out and get two right handed relievers and a left handed guy, or a righty and a lefty, and call-up Sergio Escalona or keep Walker.

Sedu Revolution 6000i Hair Dryer
StephanieVisalia, CAHot & Fast....don't Let The Wattage Fool You!I just read a lukewarm review of this hair dryer on the Good Housekeeping website. They say their findings were that it makes hair less shiny. They also say it isn't very hot? I absolutely disagree!
This dryer is fairly powerful. The only good reason I can think of for the less shine experienced in the GH tests is the power. This thing blows pretty hard (though it doesn't feel like it....odd). I have had to move items from where I normally keep them because this dryer kept blowing them off. Picking up my hair clips and glasses that had blown off the ledge was getting annoying. I stood across the bathroom the other day to test the airflow on this dryer and it still managed to move stuff.
If you aren't using the right tools with this dryer, I can see how you may get sub-optimal results. I use Spornette or Chaz Dean porcupine boar bristle round brushes. They are similar. I do tend to like the Chaz Dean brushes a bit better, but they also cost more. They maintain a good grip on my hair so it doesn't blow around. The concentrator nozzle keeps the air from making the rest of my hair blow all over the place. My hair is perfectly shiny and I do not feel like it is less shiny now.
The part about the heat....How much more did you need? My scalp has been burned by steam, and I let my hair air dry for about 20 minutes and remove as much excess moisture as I can before I even turn it on, so it's not like it has a ton of water to cause tons of steam. Just to put this into perspective, I ONLY use a wooden hairbrush, not the metal kind that causes the hair to heat up more and steam while drying. I keep a concentrator nozzle on this dryer AND keep it a bit of a distance away from my hair.
I would say that despite the lower wattage of 1600W does not seem to have an adverse effect on the heat generated by this dryer. Maybe I am biased due to my loyalty to the Sedu brand, and I admit that I have only ever used one other dryer with any kind of power, the One 'n Only Brazilian Tech Keratin Dryer (BTW, also HOT and powerful. Folica totally sells the same thing with a slightly different name). Still though, I feel like Good Housekeeping made a lousy call on this one. I can't imagine that anybody who isn't a professional or doesn't have exceptionally difficult hair needs more heat than this.

ChristinaHairFine or Thin HairSending Back To Fix For A 2nd Time For Issues With MotorI had a T3 hairdryer for ten years before it burnt out. I have to send this Sedu in for a second time within the two year warranty to be fixed for a part that keeps coming loose in the motor. I will not buy another Sedu. I expect a hairdyer to last longer than a year at this price.posted Sep 27, 2014Link to this post

Melissa Z.United StatesHairBlackNormal HairChemically Treated HairPoor Quality And So-so ResultsClaims that this product has the "latest in motor technology" producing "unrivaled power, air flow and heat" are nothing more than creative advertising. Performance and dry time are average, similar to a Blackbird. After a few months, the motor had a strange whistle when first turned on. I dropped it once and the plastic covering the filter broke. Don't waste your money.posted Sep 1, 2014Link to this post

BethHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairFinally Found A Winner!!!After purchasing many other hairdryers that were even more expensive, I found the one. Tames my dry, frizzy, curly, very long hair. No need to use a flat iron anymore. Drying time cut by 1/3. Didn't expect any more than that given the length of my hair. Very happy with this purchase, and my new shiny, bouncy doo!posted Aug 17, 2014Link to this post

Rachel R.United StatesHairLight BrownDry HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairGood But No Wao!I tried this Dryr is very gentle to the hair and it leave the hair very smooth however it does take the frizz away if you have thick hair it doesnt dry it very well , leave the hair still curly on the roots. If your hair is thin and you looking for a nice dryer that do the job this one will work but if you have resistant hair better take the 4000 i model, is the best.

LizSan DiegoHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairSeeing Is Believing. (this Is A Life Changer)After just using this blow dryer for the first time, I rushed to write this review. I can't even express how impressed I am. I've worked in the beauty biz for years and have tried everything under the sun. My 6 yr old hair dryer was dying out so did some research and gave the Sedu 6000i a try. I used all my same hair products, so the only change was using this dryer and my hair came out BEYOND AMAZING. I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair, and always felt like I needed to flat iron my ends to get them nice and smooth.
However, after using the Sedu 6000i tonight, my hair looks just as smooth and shiny as if I just flat ironed it (i use a ghd flat iron), which I have never been able to achieve, even after a salon blow-out. BONUS: it dried really fast!
In short, give this dryer a shot!!!
The only con I've noticed is it's a tad heavier than my previous dryer, but I honestly don't mind (i mean, I need to tone up my arms anyways).
If you're going to purchase this, get the combo pack that comes with the Wet Brush and some other Sedu products...only $90!!!posted Dec 11, 2013Link to this post

Angela B.Nothing Special Performance Wise And Shoddy CraftsmanshipI bought this less than two years ago to replace my T3 featherweight when it (inevitably) died. I was never all that impressed with the performance of the Sedu, the T3 actually made my hair look much smoother (and much faster) and now I've come to accept that it is just a poor quality piece of merchandise overall. The back cover broke off months ago (and the dryer has a permanent home on a coutertop, it doesn't even get put into a drawer or anything else that could be considered "harsh" treatment). The first time that happened my hair was sucked in and tangled around the motor, it wound straight up to the scalp and I had to CUT the hairdryer out. I was not happy. I was able to put the guard back on after that, but it continues to fall off repeatedly. Now the concentrator has also broken. I have had a $50 experience with a $200 product and now I'm already on the hunt for a replacement.5 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

KatyVancouver, CanadaHairBlondeDry HairThick or Coarse HairDoes Not DisappointI knew I wanted to purchase a Sedu after being impressed with the quality of their flat irons. I really waffled between purchasing this one or the 4000i and in the end just took a leap of faith. I can't compare them, but what I can tell you about this one: it is AWESOME!
Because I can only compare it to drug store brand hair dryers, I'd like to think this review is a bit of a reality-check as opposed to comparing the minute details of all the amazing pro dryers :)
1. The cord is LONG. It may be shorter than the 4000i (I don't know) or some other pro dryer, but it is easily twice as long as the cord on my previous Conair.
2. It gets nice and HOT. There are a few temperature settings as well as a cool-shot but I just always use the hottest setting (damage be damned, I just don't have that much time in the morning to futz around drying my hair.)
3. It is really nice that the cool-shot button locks... though, if you're in a haze of pre-coffee hairstyling it can cause confusion when you left it locked on the previous day and can't figure out why your dryer isn't getting hot ;-) (JOKING! Okay that happens for real but it's not an actual criticism of the dryer, lol.)
4. The motor is nice and powerful. Seriously powerful. Between that and the heat, I can dry my hair in less than 10minutes. I have super thick hair and it took more like 20+mins with my stupid Conair. This actually makes it possible for me to dry my hair after hitting the snooze button about eight times in the morning :-)
5. Personally I don't find it too heavy at all, nor any longer than any other standard dryer. It's super easy to use.
I agree with those who say that the filter thingy on the back is next to impossible to remove... not a big deal, I don't find it fills up fast anyway.
LOVE this thing, no regrets. I do still wonder about the 4000i (I like the shorter size of it) but that's superficial details, this thing is super great and I have no regrets. Love Sedu, such a great company producing quality products!posted Nov 21, 2013Link to this post

AngelaSan Francisco, CAHairMedium BrownNormal HairThick or Coarse HairGreat... When It WorksAfter using the same BaByLiss dryer for 6 years, I was ready for something a little more powerful and purchased this hair dryer on Amazon.com through Folica in November 2012. A few months ago the dryer wasn't getting as hot as usual and was extremely loud. Something was obviously wrong, so I sent it in for a replacement. Folica and Sedu were prompt about sending me another dryer which was great. I've used the second dryer maybe 20 times since receiving it. I dry my hair once a week and it sits in my bathroom drawer untouched. The other day, within 30 seconds of turning it on, I heard a loud popping sound and a rattling. Again, the dryer is exceedingly loud and not getting hot. I am so annoyed that I now have to go through the hassle of paying to send the dryer back, be without a hair dryer for a few weeks, and pay for replacement shipping. There is no reason a hairdryer this expensive should break as often as this one does, especially considering how lightly I use it. I went back the old, cheap BaByLiss dryer I've had for 6 years that still works like the day I got it.
That said, the dryer is great when it works. It gets pretty hot, the cool function works quickly, the air flow is strong, and the cord is long. In hindsight, I wish I would have purchased a lighter hair dryer as this one is somewhat heavy, but not unbearable.
I'm glad the dryer has a 2 year warranty and I can get a replacement, but this is getting ridiculous. My next dryer will definitely NOT be a Sedu. I would not recommend this dryer to anyone and highly recommend going with another brand.posted Nov 1, 2013Link to this post

General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner has arrived in Washington to deliver testimony at Senate hearings scheduled for today and tomorrow, and as we reported late yesterday, his transportation this time was not a private jet, but rather a series hybrid Chevy Volt mule in the body of a Chevy Cruze. Ford CEO Alan Mulally also ditched his private plane for a ride down to DC in a Ford Escape Hybrid, while Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli made the trip in a Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. UAW President Ron Gettelfinger flew down, but on a commercial flight (he never had a private jet in the first place and it likely would've been awkward if he chose one automaker's vehicle over the other two).
Testimony will be given by the four men and a number of other witnesses today and tomorrow, though it still appears as if there aren't enough votes in the Senate to get federal aid for the automakers passed immediately. Even if aid in the form of government loans is approved, there's still the matter of where the money will come from. The only two options on the table are converting $25 billion in already approved loans for investment in green technology to be used by the automakers to keep their businesses afloat, or carving out the money from the $700 billion in aid that Congress has already approved for the financial industry. We'll be keeping an eye on what's happening in Washington today and tomorrow, so stay tuned.
