|BOSTON The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation has appointed Owen Heleen as senior director of grantmaking, and Anna Gosline as director of policy and research.
Heleen has served for more than a decade with The Rhode Island Foundation, most recently as vice president for Grant Programs, and Gosline has been project manager for an examination of Vermont's health care system that culminated in recommendations for comprehensive, "single-payer" health reform.
Heleen assumes a newly-created role focused on ensuring that the foundation's grant investments produce long-term measurable benefits for low-income and vulnerable residents of Massachusetts and the community organizations that serve them.
He will oversee all of the foundation's grantmaking and lead the development of a new grants program that will fund innovative approaches to making health care more affordable. Gosline will be responsible for managing the foundation's policy work related to affordability, which will include in-depth research on the burden of rapidly rising health care costs, especially on low-income and vulnerable populations, and a process designed to uncover, and gain community-wide support for sustainable solutions.
Sarah Iselin, president of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation, said the appointments will "round out an extraordinarily strong and experienced team" and enhance the organization's new strategic focus on affordability.
"The rising cost of health care is an intractable problem that will require broad community engagement to solve," she said. "Building on a decade of work in support of expanded coverage, and working in collaboration with our many community partners, we want the foundation to be a catalyst for innovative and lasting solutions. Having Owen and Anna on board will give us a huge head start."
As vice president for grant programs, Heleen has been responsible for the overall strategic direction of The Rhode Island Foundation's grantmaking, which totaled $29 million in 2010, and he designed and implemented a new approach to evaluating and communicating the impact of discretionary grants.
He has directed the foundation's grantmaking and community leadership activities in the health sector, and was responsible for policy initiatives related to health insurance reform and building primary care capacity.
Heleen has also managed The Rhode Island Foundation's relationships with national foundations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Prior to his foundation work, he created and directed a development office for the Providence Schools Department.
For the past year, Gosline has been project manager for a team of economists, political scientists, and public health specialists, led by Harvard School of Public Health economics professor William Hsiao, that was commissioned by the Vermont legislature to conduct a detailed examination of the state's health care system and develop options for "single-payer" health reform.
She managed the project's budget, personnel, commun-ications, and external relationships, including extensive stakeholder interactions, public presentations, and the public comment period after the release of the draft report.
While gaining a master of science degree in health policy and management at the Harvard School of Public Health, she worked with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Massachusetts Division of Health Care Finance and Policy, and Community Catalyst on an array of projects related to health care access, cost containment, delivery system reform, and racial and ethnic health disparities.
The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation is a private, independently governed, non-profit organization founded in 2001 with a mission to expand access to health care for low-income and vulnerable residents of Massachusetts.
In 2010, the foundation awarded $3.5 million in grants to more than 100 different non-profit organizations and has awarded nearly $38 million in grants over its first 10 years.

Kai Hoosier, age 9, shot his first turkey during Kentucky's Youth Hunt on April 2.
Kai was hunting on his godfather's farm in Gallatin County near Warsaw. He and his dad Steve Hoosier started out early that morning and within 45 minutes, saw about a dozen turkeys coming into the field.
The largest tom spotted the hunters and took off, but many of the others stayed in the area. Kai picked out a great tom for his first turkey hunt. He was shooting his brand new 20 gauge Weatherby shotgun, which he says did great.
Kai was super excited and very proud!

What I Need
"Look Mom, it's me!"
"Yes, it is, but you don't have any tape. How is it stuck there?" I asked as I pulled it off and found my fingers were all wet.
"I, just spitted on it."
Oh lovely. "Ryah, spit is not an adhesive, please don't do that again."
Before having kids, I knew that all I wanted to have was boys. A family of boys sounded perfect to me. So when I found out I was having a girl the first time, I was actually pretty upset. The second time around, I knew that given my husband's family history, a boy was likely not in the cards, but I still hoped. Alas, no, another girl.
Don't get me wrong, I love my girls, but we all have an idea of what we hope our future family will be and when the picture changes, we can have all kinds of emotions. I know there are plenty of moms out there who have all boys and want exactly what I have. I've come to realize that you don't get what you want, you get what you need and sometimes the two aren't the same.
But I digress, because in actuality, I have all the "boys" I need, especially with my second daughter. My little tomboy is thrilled to play in the dirt, excitedly shows me the slug in her hand that she's just found, is happiest when being active and is the funniest little ham. There's also no shortage of gross-out factor with her.
The other night, I was getting the two ready for a bath and I turned around when I heard Ryah say, "Look Mom, I can itch my bum on the rug just like the dog in the movie!" I couldn't toss that bare bum into the tub fast enough. And seriously, ew. I should know by now, that whenever Ryah starts a sentence with "Look, Mom," I need to be prepared.
Did I also mention that destruction follows this one on a daily basis? I didn't even have to child-proof my house for my first child, but nothing is safe when Ryah is around. And I have the crayon colored walls, hole in the screen door, bent blinds, chewed on coffee table and new broken toy, to prove it. *sigh*
Now, in hindsight, I'm grateful that I only have one "boy," because I don't think the house, or my sanity could handle two. I also think I have exactly what I need... a princess and a Ryah, and I couldn't be happier.

May Flowers
My sister just had twins on Easter Sunday. Her first and second child. Very excited for them. And you know what new babies means? Other than that intoxicating new baby smell? A great excuse to build a diaper cake! I'm always looking for a reason to make one of those! They just don't seem to be the best get well soon or Bat Mitzvah gift. "Um, Holly...." "Just go with it, they make great centerpieces don't they? L-chaim!" :o)
This time around, I had two awesome (and legit) reasons to make one, so naturally I had to make TWO fabulous diaper cakes, plus a bonus one just to use the "leftovers." My favorite cakes so far and I just had to share. And if you feel so inspired to make one of your own, here's the link to the previous tutorial for ya.

Makeup, please?
Recently, we were asked, through Facebook, a couple of questions about discussing makeup with our children :
"How do you plan on talking to young daughters about it? Do you feel it's a necessary conversation to have?"
It was a interesting question and here's what we had to say about it:
"When my girls see me putting makeup on, sometimes, I'll put some blush on them. It makes them feel like princesses. I don't wear makeup very often, so when I do, my girls notice.
Neither of them has asked to wear it and if they ever do, I'll tell them I'd like them to wait until they're 12. If for no other reason, then because they have their whole lives to be grown-up and wear makeup, and should enjoy just being kids. There's also the whole cycle of wearing makeup, which causes acne, which in turn, makes you want to wear more makeup. Not fun.
I don't feel it's a necessary conversation to have, at least in my house. With how often I wear makeup, or even do my hair, for that matter; my girls don't have much of a high maintenance example to follow. When the time comes, they'll hopefully be 12 and I'll hopefully be ready to beat away the boys."
"I'm one of those moms that wears make up every day. Not a lot, but just enough to make me feel "woken up" and ready for the day. Like, Holly, if my girls happen to be in the room, I might put a little blush on them just for fun. They always ask for lip gloss too, which I don't mind putting on them. I've never felt the need to have a formal conversation with them (mostly because they're 3 and almost 5 still). They do ask questions, though, like, "why do you put that on your face?" I try to be careful with my answers because I don't want them to feel like they need make-up to be pretty. I tell them that I use a little foundation to cover up the "splotchies" and mascara so I can have eye lashes like theirs. Then I make sure and tell them how beautiful they are and that they don't need make up. But if the want to wear make up when they're older, then they can."
"I come from a family that LOVES makeup. Every present-giving holiday, my girls (ages 5 and 7) get massive make up kits from their great-grandma, to use with their dress up, and they have been getting these for about 3 years now. I allow them to wear the makeup in the house but only about once a week or so. They have to wash their faces if we have company over, or if we leave the house. They're really good about it - we've talked about how makeup is a grown up thing, like fancy jewelry (which they love) and fancy shoes and dresses and such. Other than dress up, we have a "No Makeup Until Age 13" rule, which the kids don't love, but do understand. Because they get to play with it, even if they don't get to show their glamorous (ha! yeah right) faces to the world, I haven't had many complaints."
"I've always had very mixed feeling about makeup on young girls. I see so many of them dressed up and made up to look older than they are which sends a very scary message, in my book. At the same time, I remember my Mom letting me play with her lipstick collection, so long as it was all wiped off before I left the room. We've allowed our six year old daughter to wear a touch of lipgloss (colorless or near colorless) and nail polish. I never really set out to have a conversation about it, but when she started going to birthdays where her friends got make up as presents, it sort of forced my hand. We have the same rule that Marisa and her family have...no makeup until 13, which was the same rule I had growing up. I explained to my daughter that "make up is for grown ups" and I've tried to make the point, as others mentioned, that no one "needs" make up to be beautiful. I wear minimal make up to work and (most of the time) none at home on the weekends.
As a compromise of sorts, for dress up play at home, I bought actual face paint so I could make both of the kids (i.e. my son too) look like kitties or puppies or whatever character they want to be. To me that's more "theatrical" than making them look like they belong in Toddlers and Tiaras."
Thanks to Liz for allowing us to throw in our two cents!
How about you, have you had make up conversations with your daughters? What are your rules? Do you have any?

How to Make Fish Balls
How Make Fish Balls
Serves 4 | Prep Time: 30 Minutes | Cook Time: 10 Minutes
1 whole mackerel with bones and head, about 2 1/2 lbs
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
Fish Ball Soup:
Fish bones (discard the fish head), chopped into 3 pieces
1 can chicken broth
4 cups water
1 oz Chinese seaweed (紫菜)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
White pepper and salt to taste
Fish Ball Soup Topping:
Garlic oil
Some shredded lettuce leaves
1 stalk scallion, cut into rings
Fish Ball:
1. Clean the fish and rinse with cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Filet the fish along the bones from the tail up towards the head using a very sharp knife. Repeat on the other side.
2. Get a bowl to put the fish meat. Using a spoon, scrape the fish meat off the skin of the fish filet, from the tail upwards. Scrape until all meat is off the skin. Discard the skin. Use the spoon to scrape off the fish meat off the fish bone, too.
3. Place all the fish meat on a chopping board, using a Chinese cleaver (preferably) to chop the fish meat, for about 10 minutes.
4. The fish will become slightly sticky as you chop. Add the salt and pepper and continue chopping for another 10 minutes, the fish meat will become a fish paste.
5. Wet your hands with some water and and take a tablespoon of the fish paste onto your palm and shape them into fish balls.
Fish Ball Soup:
1. Get a 5-quart soup pot, put in the chicken broth, water, and fish bones. Bring to boil over high heat, and then let it boil on low to medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the soup is flavorful.
2. Remove the fish bones, turn to high heat and drop the fish balls into the Soup.
3. Add the Chinese seaweed, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper to taste. When the fish balls float to the top, turn off the heat.
4. Transfer the fish balls soup into serving bowls, add the Toppings and serve immediately.
Cook's Notes:
1. To view the step-by-step picture, please click on the gallery on page 1.
2. You can make the garlic oil by stir-frying some minced garlic with heated oil.
3. If you like, serve it with red chilies in soy sauce.

Kudos on trying to make fish balls from scratch!
I have been wanting to make fish balls from scratch. This recipe is perfect. My family will enjoy this. Can I substitute other types of white fish? Like tilapia or snapper? Thanks for sharing this one!
Can you use other fish besides mackerel? We fish a lot and was wondering if fish local to my area could be substituted? Like croaker or rockfish?
Love you website and recipes. Thank you!
I couldn't agree more with you regarding the availability of fresh fishes in California. It's quite sad considering how close we are to the ocean. However, if you ever feel like getting up at 5am in the weekends, you can go to the docks in Newport Beach for freshly caught fishes.
My mom used pike …really fresh ones when she came to visit me in Australia.
It was really bouncy and didn't need too much chopping.
I put it in the fridge after I scrape the fish meat to cool them down.
Find that it takes a lot less chopping to get them bouncy.
I only use salt.
Hello, can you use the blender instead of chopping?
My mum used to make fish balls a lot when we lived in Malaysia/ Since moving to Australia, she has been using blue grenadier, which she says is the bst she could find there. Pity I cant get this fish where i am. she has tried mackeral and said it is not nearly as good as it doesnt have the starchy texture as blue grenadier. Hope this helps
Hi Bee! Just to let you know 西刀鱼 is Ikan Parang; Wolf Herring. :)
Thanks for the recipe. I have been wanting to make this and you have made the steps simple enough for me to try. I do have a few questions though:
(1) Can we use a food processor to chop instead?
(2) How do we make this ahead for weekday lunch for the kids? Do we freeze the uncooked fishballs or do we soak them in salt water in the fridge? How long can the uncooked fishball keep?
Hi Bee, You did the right thing is never wash after you fillet the fish.If you wash again, the fish ball will be soft !!
Place all the fish meat on a chopping board, using a Chinese cleaver (preferably) hold it to 30 degree and press and flatten the fish meat until smooth !! Don't chop the fish meat, that's why I saw your fish ball were not smooth !!
Bee you missed a big and important step !! After make them into a smooth paste, stir some starch powder into some water and add slowly them into the fish paste. Beat it with your hand, 1 direction, it should be slightly watery. Then sprinkle salt onto the watery paste and stir and beat well, just like we beat our minced meat into a meat ball !! The fish paste will be in 1 big ball, and check is it enough salt !! Put a bowl with water, dip the spoon into the water and wet your palm to make them into smooth fish balls !!
Bee, Never ever discard the fish head and the skin !! They are very good to make soup but please add some slices of ginger ! For better taste and milky soup, fry them with 1-2 spoon oil and fry the ginger and the fish bones, when slightly brown, pour in water and the fish skin to simmer. !! For Fish ball soup, boil them only, no need to fry them !!
Hi rebecca..i dun really get what u mean by beat it with hand , 1 direction..how do i beat it..the fish paste is sticky so im loss on how to do it..thanx for helping..
Thanks for sharing the thorough recipe! To report my experiments with tilapia and flounder, both turned out very powdery with very loose texture.
I had some of the best fish balls and calamari balls in Macau, so I really wanted to re-create them at home. However, it's really difficult to get fresh fish here in Beijing. I tried to make the fish ball twice, first time with frozen flounder fillet and the second time with "fresh" tilapia (whole fish). I added some Shaoxing wine while making the balls, but they still taste very fishy.
Couldn't agree more with you that not to use flakier to make fish balls. Hoping to find a replacement for mackerel, but couldn't so far.
Me want to know after make past or granulate the fish,How to presurve it to use long time?Is there use any presaurvative ? And also want to know how to make packet for use one year after? please inform me.
Can I store in a fridge/freezer the fish balls to use when I want to? How do I do that.
wow….never knew it is soooo easy to make one by yourself!thanks for the recipe Bee!:-)
My kids love fish balls. Wondering to make fish balls, don't know what kind of fish to use. Mackerel (saba) can be found in Japan very easily will make this recipe, Thanks!!!!
I make my fishballs by using a kitchen ware called vorwerk thermomix TM31. This kitchen ware cost around a €1000.

Renowned Cancer Disparities Researcher
Co-Chairs University-wide Initiative
The university recently launched the Georgetown Initiative to Reduce Health Disparities designed to identify, reduce and ultimately eliminate health and health care disparities by conducting interdisciplinary research and providing education and community engagement. University President John J. DeGioia, PhD, announced the initiative at a ceremony April 16.
Renowned Georgetown Lombardi epidemiologist Lucile Adams-Campbell, PhD, is a co-chair of the initiative, along with Phyllis Magrab, PhD.
Adams-Campbell is an expert on health disparities who serves as associate director of minority health and disparities at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Magrab is a well-known pediatric psychologist who directs the Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development (GUCCHD).
"When you look across the whole spectrum of health disparities centers in the country, you don't see it university-wide, so this is a different platform that we are starting," said Adams-Campbell, speaking of the interdisciplinary aspect of the initiative.
The initiative defines a health disparity as "any inequity of treatment or services that may based on ethnicity, gender, physical or mental disability, occupation, geography, age or educational level. It may also refer to differences in health conditions attributed to environment, or other social issues — such as poverty — that create inequality."
The university-wide effort is expected to enhance current programs and resources and attract additional outside funding to support future work in the field.
Serving the Community
Three proposals have been chosen as interdisciplinary pilot projects.
One of the projects will create a Multidisciplinary Diabetes Education and Medication Therapy Management Service involving faculty from the Medical Center and the College and the existing HOYA Clinic in Southeast DC.
Another project will fund the development of a Georgetown domestic and global health disparities course, while a third provides funds to develop a research agenda through participatory action research with immigrant youth in Washington, DC.
"We're always striving to enact and imagine how we can best serve this mission and integrate this value into the life of the community," DeGioia said. "This initiative to reduce health disparities models this effort. It's driven by the interest and expertise of our community, and it's animated by the principles of service and social justice."
Deliverable and Meaningful
Howard Federoff, MD, PhD, Georgetown's executive vice president for health sciences, said health disparities are just as much a problem nationally as it is for Washington, DC.
He said that roughly 48 percent of African-American adults have a chronic disease, a seven-fold greater incidence of HIV infection and higher rates of diabetes.
"[The initiative] has a real potential to do something that is deliverable, meaningful, and which can be measured locally, nationally and maybe globally," Federoff said.
For Adams-Campbell, the effort is a dream true.
She said she came to Georgetown in 2008 "in hopes of doing exactly what we are doing today — launching a university wide platform for reducing health disparities."

Weak Links in the Democratic Stronghold
Why be optimistic a deal can be struck on the fiscal cliff? Because there are weak links in the Congressional strongholds. Not only has the GOP shown some willingness to negotiate, but there are also a handful of Democratic senators up for re-election in two years, hailing from largely traditional GOP red zones, who will want to keep their jobs. Look for at least a few of them to show "temperance" and move to the middle on the Fiscal Cliff.
Red-State Senate Democrats May Be Hard to Corral on Cliff– Bloomberg Businessweek
The Value of Experience
Fisher Investments faithful Bill Shepherd recently opined on a number of topics. When experience like his speaks, I think we ought to listen. Here are a few thoughts:
Mutual funds were originally created to help achieve diversification—and are still helpful for those who don't have a lot to invest, but would like a diverse portfolio. They can help investors get started in the markets, but can be expensive, due to trading and possible tax implications, and can lack the flexibility of a portfolio of stocks and fixed income. "While mutual funds make sense for some investors, it's important to make sure you own them for a reason and/or haven't out grown them," says Bill Shepherd. "Meaning, you can achieve sometimes cheaper diversification buying multiple stocks than buying mutual funds—but it depends on your financial goals and what you can truly afford", he continues. Here it's helpful to have a money manager whose interests are aligned with yours to help guide you to optimal investing decisions in your portfolio.
Bill Shepherd recognizes there are many different avenues in the financial industry when it comes to choosing a money manager. "In general, I think one of the most important questions to ask yourself is, are my interests aligned with my financial professional's? Said another way, will they do well if you do well?" asks Shepherd. "This may not be true in all facets of money management. Brokers, for example, may work on a commission system based on activity rather than a management fee based on the size of your portfolio like Fisher Investments. This structure allows us to align our interests with our clients. We utilize separate custodians to house client assets, so we don't earn commissions on trades that are placed in your account, nor do we sell you products. So our answer to that question is this—absolutely—if you do well, then we do well."
A big challenge in investing is the culture of emotional created largely, it seems, by the media—especially now that news is available 24/7 on the internet, TV, smartphones and tablets and constantly updates. "It's very easy to let emotional reactions lead your investing decisions, and your understanding of economics," says Bill Shepherd. "A good example of media spreading negative sentiment about markets right now is the fiscal cliff. However, Fisher Investments believes talk about the fiscal cliff's impending disaster is likely a lot of hot air—which unfortunately sells more for the media," continues Shepherd. More about Fisher Investments views on the fiscal cliff can be found on MarketMinder.com.

Grades in a Doctorate program
by Jay Bergland | September 29, 2008
At the end of each quarter I will usually be contacted by one or two Learners concerned about the grade they received in a course. Typically the Learner received a grade lower than they were expecting and in some cases, a grade lower than they have ever received since finishing their undergraduate program. In most of these cases I will redirect the Learner back to the course syllabus and the grading breakdown. About once every couple quarters I will talk with a Learner that is very distraught about the grade they received. They have convinced themselves that anything less than a 4.0 GPA is a sure sign of their failure and will most certainly tarnish their goals for the future.
Here is the reality. Grades in a doctorate program mean very little. No one is going to review your doctorate transcripts and form an impression of your skills and abilities based on the grades you received in specific courses. Much, MUCH, M-U-C-H more emphasis will be placed on your Doctoral Competencies, your Dissertation, and the relationships you develop with your instructors and fellow Learners as you are progressing through your program.

As a result, using Key Note is a great way to keep up-to-speed on a variety of markets, sectors, products and brands and it's a great tool to have on hand for new business and strategy development."

Tablets Will Rule Next
While smartphones are the current rage among tech savvy users and consumers, it will come to appoint where eventually, all the technology present in mobile phones and web-accessible devices like PCs, will be found in the tablet — and even be more useful for business. In all likeliness, Internet traffic generated from tablets will exceed the traffic from smartphones in 2014.
This is how software giant, Adobe predicts the shift to go basing from the survey it has released recently. However, the recent survey results also show that smartphone data traffic has been growing at an exponential rate and is predicted to be the first device most people in developing countries will be using to access the Internet for the first time. The survey also shows a number of other noteworthy points:
- People find browsing websites on tablets as engaging as doing so on PCs.
- Laptops still dominate in terms of Internet traffic but tablets will grow at a faster rate.
- Tablets have become a channel very distinct from smartphones.
- Tablet users spend more per purchase than other online customers.
- Social Media has reached maturity and consumers are shifting to it for information.
The Big Shift
Current statistics culled from an earlier research made by Trendstream (London) points out that the share of website visits from tablets grew approximately 10 times faster than the rate for smartphones in the first two years following market introduction, and grew more than 300 per cent last year.
This clearly illustrates the connection between smartphones and tablets to consumer behavior towards online marketing stimuli. In the same vein, the research also highlights the comparison between tablet use as opposed to smartphone use and the former's impact on the latter as a web-access and telecom tool. The next couple of years are thus expected to usher in the big shift by smartphone business users to tablets as a main web access tool. Telecom technology experts view this potential turnabout to be the outcome of the following factors:
- The ongoing BYOD trend evident in companies. More and more companies are reconfiguring their IT infrastructures to secure corporate information from possible online breaches as employee-owned mobile devices become more prevalent in workplaces. Such devices interacting with company IT infra makes the latter susceptible to corporate info leaks. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies are now being crafted by companies to address this issue. Tablets happen to be the most preferred mobile device by employees right now.
- Tablets are in the same price range as smartphones. Employees view tablets as a smarter choice in terms of practicality and cost-efficiency since most tablets cost just as much as smartphones now. Stationary and mobile employees find tablets just as useful and reliable as PCs. The tech trend will surely be headed towards new variations of smartphones being designed to perform online tasks the way tablets are capable of and this can be gleaned from current "phablet" models now in the market.
- Mobile apps for VoIP functionalities are readily available. Most company business VoIP systems have mobile applications that can enable tablets to run compatibly with the entire system. VoIP service providers include free software for mobile apps as part of its service plans.
- Business productivity apps are in abundance. There are currently hundreds of apps available online for download or those that can be bought at premium prices for tablet users to choose from. Depending on what tasks they need to accomplish and what technology platform users prefer, apps makers will continue to make them available.
Given the above-mentioned information, it is safe to assume that business-inclined users will be gravitating towards tablets as a preferred business productivity tool and will gain even wider use in workplaces in a couple of years' time.

Saawariya.. hha hha haa, Saawariya.. hha hha haa,

Ohhh dholi mein bhitake, sitrao se sajaa ke

Ohh Saawariya.. hha hha haa, ohh Saawariya.. hha hha haa,
yehey Saawariya, ohhhh Saawariya
udley he he, odley he he
uudrdr hey he he, ohhhdrdr he he
Palko ke shaamiyane mein, kwaboon ke har tikane mein
Teri hi parchaiya hai, tu tho har lamha yaadon mein hai
Teri khamosh pehali nazar ka deewana bana
Saawariya.. hha hha haa, Saawariya.. hha hha haa,

Oh dholi mein bhitake, sitrao se sajaa ke
Zaamane se churake le jaye ga

Saawariya.. (You wanna be my princess of night) o hha hha haa,
Saawariya, (I wanna love you my love at first sight, will you be my date tonight) ohhhh Saawariya

National Experience (NFDA)
State Experience (Ohio Funeral Directors Association)
Professional Background
Candidate's Statement
Funeral service has been very exciting, rewarding and a great learning experience for me throughout my career, which has included serving on decision making levels of funeral director organizations as a state officer, past NFDA Policy Board member and currently on the NFDA executive board as an at-large representative. This experience has provided me with the tools and the continuing passion to represent NFDA, funeral service and you by seeking the office of NFDA secretary. I wish to take this step and to humbly serve with the same respect that we all provide to the families we serve and that the profession demands. I believe in the professionalism, mission statement, code of ethics and values of NFDA and also believe they can only be enhanced and strengthened by forward thinking leadership. National and state relationships are now more essential than ever to create solidarity and unity within these organizations to represent funeral service. Many challenges and events have changed the face of funeral service across our great nation and around the world. Proactive leadership is needed to inform, educate and advocate strategically and decisively for the benefit of our membership and the consumers. Conversely, we, as leaders must not only be progressive, but we must not lose sight of our long history in providing funeral services in a traditional manner.
I am a second generation, full time working funeral director who shares your vision and has found the value of being a member of the National funeral Directors Association. I would humbly and respectfully appreciate your support as I seek the position of NFDA secretary.

- Afternoon Delight! Review by Pamela
- While visiting Victoria last week, I happened upon Murchie's and was delighted by a cup of Murchie's blend every afternoon. Every sip was smooth and satisfying. I was anxious to savor a new cup each day! I am so glad that it is available on-line to keep the wonderful experience on-going. Now if I could only order some of their marvelous desserts to go with it! (Posted on 14-08-21)
- I may stray...but I always come back. Review by Cheryl
- I first tried Murchie's Afternoon on my honeymoon over 10 years ago. Wow! I have been ordering it online and drinking it regularly. I often try other blends, but I always come back to Murchie's Afternoon. This blend is truly the quintessential Tea for which I judge all other Tea's against. (Posted on 14-08-04)
- my favorite tea any time of day Review by John
- With an English mother, I grew up drinking tea in the coffee belt of the US Midwest. Stumbled across a Murchie's on a trip to Victoria BC, and tried this delightful tea on the recommendation of the counter staff. Regularly experiment, but always return to this wonderful blend, which reaches perfection with honey and cream. (Posted on 13-08-21)
- The best gift Review by Mary
- This tea was a gift from my son and daughter-in-law when I visited BC in the Spring. I'm hooked. I don't live anywhere near a Murchie's so I am ordering this tea on line. It is so smooth and delicious, I just can't drink anything else. (Posted on 13-07-12)
- The only Tea Review by Judy
- I love Murchies Afternoon Blend. Have been drinking it for years...It never disappoints me. It is my quiet spot of the day. Thanks. (Posted on 12-09-18)
- My favorite tea for over a quarter of a century Review by Glenna
- I have been drinking Murchie's Afternoon Blend since October, 1986, when I visited Victoria. I have taken tea in many places, but the Afternoon blend is still my favorite, for any time of day. (Posted on 12-06-25)
- BEST Tea Review by Diane
- I've been drinking tea since I was 5 years old (I'm past the half century mark now). Occasionally I will buy many different types of tea and have a blind taste comparison. This one is always the winner. So smooth and delicious. Perfect with a bit of honey or brewed with some fresh mint. (Posted on 12-05-25)
- Great Tea - Murchie's Afternoon Blend Review by Mary
- Ever since we went to the Empress Hotel for "Tea" where we got our first taste, we have been ordering the Afternoon Blend from Murchie's - that would be over twenty years ago. We find it the smoothest, great tasting tea, especially for breakfast. That pretty much says it all ;). (Posted on 12-04-21)

Those who went AWOL 2001-4 will find themselves on the wrong side of revolutionary history. Those who are violent thieving lying sexual psychopaths will also find themselves on the wrong side of history.
Those who proffer no solidarity to the first cypherpunk techno-terrorist may expect none for themselves.
17 years ago our founders bought forth a new idea combining markets with the internet in order to enable anarchy.
Now we are engaged in a great global revolution, testing whether that reform, or any reform, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We meet on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for reform-ISM
The brave cypherpunk revolutionaries, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. Jim Bell & Carl Johnson especially.
It is for us, the living, to be dedicated here, now, to the unfinished work that they ,who fought here ,have so nobly advanced.
That from these honored silenced revolutionists we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their full measure of devotion. That we here now resolve that these repressed comrades shall not have suffered in vain, that our cryptoanarchy,WILL have a newfound freedom.
And that crypto-anarchy of the people,by the people,for the people,shall not perish from the earth.
Do you swear it, be thee ne'er so base?
( Megalomaniacs need not apply, thanks JA. )

Sometimes You Get To Feel Optimistic About The Future
A friend of mine called me last week and said an old friend of his gave him a short story written by this friend's 14-year-old son. He thought it was very good, and asked if I would read it and see if I agreed. Kids need encouragement, and I always try to offer an eye and encouragement if I can. We've all read drek by the bucket load, and since I have free time here and there, I said sure. We've all seen these stories written by young people, and mostly they don't amount to much. I mean they show some glimmer of promise or they don't, but judging the potential of a young person by a few pages doesn't mean much. The 7 pages were single-spaced, and printed on both sides of the pages, and in blue ink. When I got them, I was working on building a structure on the place, so I folded the envelope and stuck in into my back pocket. I forgot about the pages, it was hot, I sweated, and the ink ran some.
Two days later, I finally unfolded the pages and read them, and they were excellent. This kid needs to mature, but I believe he has what it takes. Opens on a rainy night in an alley––a man with a freshly killed (huge) corpse lying on asphalt. Here's an exert:
"He was here. It was done. Nothing left to do except run. He fumbled with the gun for a moment, wondering whether to dispose of it, or carry it with him. He shoved down in the pocket of his gray trench coat. As he pivoted away from the body and turned onto the sidewalk, he reached into his left coat pocket for his cigarettes. The pack was drenched, but inside there were dry ones left. He stepped underneath the awning in front of a closed-down pawnshop and fished his lighter out of his pants pocket, with some difficulty in maneuvering around his trench coat. He attempted to light the cigarette, but failed. He was out of lighter fluid. He reached into his other pockets looking for matches, but could find none. It was all right, because he was trying to cut back."
I forget when I was reading that a fourteen-year old wrote it. The short story is well done and entertaining, but mostly it's exciting to find a young person who thinks about something other than video games and who seems to have been called to tell stories. The kid is thoughtful and already understands character, economy of words, how to set a mood, and he plays his story play out like fishing line …with a nice sharp hook at the end. Yes, it is amateurish in many respects, but there's a lot of talent there and I am sure this young man will evolve and mature and add something to the world that is hungry for new voices and stories.
How many of us have discovered a young voice and offered encouragement? And how many of these offerings have we had to trudge through to find one that makes it all worthwhile.
3 comments:
This young author has a distinct voice and a crispness in his choice of words well beyond his years. It wouldn't take much editing and clean-up to make this pop. I know a few professional writers who could learn from his example. He's obviously a natural talent. It's no different than watching a young kid walk onto the athletic field and swing a bat or throw a ball--it only takes a few seconds to know he's a natural.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing, John.
I love stuff like that. As a church youth & children's worker for over 20 years I have spent most of my energy trying motivate kids to greatness. For most part, the hundreds of faces pass in and out of my life without leaving a life changing impact on me. Out the pack of hundreds over the years certain individuals emerge that make it all worth while.ReplyDelete
One such individual recently took up a challenge to create a graphic novel from one of my stories. I've seen some of her work and all I can say is, wow. In a few years you folks may see some amazing work coming out of Alaska in that genre.
The next generation of great artists is sitting in school right now waiting to discover and be discovered.
Wonderful story, John! Last year I had a rewarding experience doing a critique for a high school student who was writing a short story as part of his senior project. He also showed talent, and put a tremendous amount of work into the project. I expect to see his name on the bookshelvelves (or movie screens) within a few years!ReplyDelete

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The public got a free visit to the Buffalo Museum of Science Monday as part of Independent Health's Community Health Day.
Admission to the museum was free for everyone, and along with the regular exhibits, there were also a number of health-related activities.
The activities for kids and adults focused on exercise, as well as educating people about eating habits and food quality.
Organizers say they were hoping to send a message, especially to the younger visitors.
"Being healthy is fun and easy, and it's something - if you learn at a young age - it's something you'll take through the rest of your life, and hopefully that will translate into a healthier community for everyone," said Valerie Pillo of Independent Health.
The museum also hosted a blood drive and diabetes testing as part of the Health Day.

If you need help financially to keep you here or for anything else, please do not hesitate to ask me. I want to help you as much as I can.
Best of luck.
Have you change account?ReplyDelete
