Facebook is not free but some may think so. It is paid advertising similar to that you may see once in a while on TV. FB is down to about $21 ($38 at the beginning) on the market and FB is trying to get some revenue. Zuckerberg's fortune is in jeopardy. |

I don't have any ads. Firefox with Adblock Plus installed. |
Move your mouse out to the right of the ads in your Wall or whatever its called .. and magically an x or drop down box appears. There you can hide them or mark them to go away forever. |

Even when I disable ad-blocking I only occasionally get a couple small ads in the right column. If you're seeing more than that, have you installed any ad-ons to style/enhance Facebook? Some of those add their own ads. If I found nothing there, I'd look in "Add/Remove Programs" for anything suspicious. And of course, run my scans. I'm no expert though, just relating what I'd probably do. BTW, a screenshot might help someone to recognize whether you're experiencing typical Facebook ads or something more obnoxious/intrusive. |

This series for preschool children aims to encourage creative thinking through the use of technology. The Save-Ums are little Heroes who live on a round island in a place called Save-Ums Central. Driven to help others, the Save-Ums monitor their world and will travel to wherever there is a problem to solve or someone to help. No adventure is too big or too small.
Each adventure begins at Save-Ums Central, the Save-Ums' home. This is a building filled with domes, bright tubes and all kinds of playthings that appeal to children. At the beginning of each adventure, the Save-Ums are shown working, playing, interacting with each other, or looking after their funny pets called "Puffs." The objective is to show the Save-Ums in situations that demonstrate positive relationships, empathy towards others, non-violent problem solving, cooperative play and an interest to take risks and develop a "daring attitude toward life."
From this picture of the daily life of Save-Ums, the Vid-Screen at Save-Ums Central begins to ring and vibrate. This is the signal that someone "out there" needs help. The "out there" refers to the five worlds to which the Save-Ums travel to help someone in need- Winter World, Monkey World, Moon World, Ocean World and Cave World. Once the problem has been identified on the Action Screen, using a remote control, a team of Save-Ums, using a fancy piece of technology such as a Subchopper, adventure out to the site of the problem. Through a team effort, the problem is solved, new friends are made, and the Save-Ums return to Save-Ums Central, feeling good about themselves and their success.
Each episode ends with the Save-Ums in unison (or one or two of them) saying, "Believe it!" The goal is to have the viewers at home leave the television with something of a Save-Ums' attitude:
- It's fun to help others
- It makes you feel good
- Working together makes solving problems easier
- Use technology to work for us
- Be a modern hero!

I FELT better after receiving the course. I definitely am glad I had it as I am still feeling well with PSA in the teens and a lumbar metastasis. If it adds months to my life, this is when I want it.

I am wife of man who just completed Provenge series. Can't really rate this as effects not yet known, so rated it average - for now. He has felt flu-like (fatigue, muscle aches, joint pains) for longer than the one or 2 days noted in the literature on Provenge. His PSA has increased quite a bit in the weeks following the beginning of the Provenge. Not clear why this is. Could be the course of the disease, or could be the effects of prostate cells being killed and fragmented, which would be a positive thing.

Marijuana: Smart Colorado takes anti-pot campaign to Idaho as activists' kids are seized
We've been hearing a lot about Smart Colorado's call for higher cannabis taxes in Colorado, as well as its connection to a possible attempt to repeal Amendment 64, which allows adults 21 and over in Colorado to use and possess small amounts of marijuana. But the group is also spreading its anti-pot message beyond state lines, to places like Idaho, where a TV station juxtaposes these remarks with the tale of marijuana activists whose children were seized.Videos below.
The video accompanying "Idaho's pot push meets Colorado criticism," from KTVB-TV, features an interview with former Rhode Island representative Patrick Kennedy, among the principals of Project SAM, a national organization that launched in Denver this past January.
But rather than being linked with Project SAM, Kennedy is identified throughout the piece as speaking for Smart Colorado, an affiliate of Project SAM that also advocates taking a public-health approach to marijuana. In Kennedy's remarks to KTVB, that translates to his assertion that legalization has hurt Colorado and the region thanks to "increased access to kids, impact on their brain development and education levels, and not the revenue windfall that was promised."Patrick Kennedy.
Kennedy adds that there's been "a doubling of traffic fatalities since the dispensaries opened" -- a dubious claim, to put it mildly.
These remarks are framed by information about Sarah Caldwell, from an organization called Compassionate Idaho, which advocates for Idaho to pass medical marijuana legalization. But she believes she's paid the price for standing up for this cause. Her three children were temporarily taken away by authorities as part of an investigation into children reportedly swallowing marijuana -- an alleged incident that is related to the seizure of other cannabis activists' kids.
As KTVB notes, Lindsey and Josh Rinehart also support medical marijuana legalization via Compassionate Idaho, with Lindsey using pot to treat her multiple sclerosis. Police got involved after officers received a report from a school involving an eleven-year-old who is said to have eaten some marijuana and felt ill afterward.Lindsey Rinehart speaking at a recent rally, courtesy of KVTB.
The eleven-year-old wasn't one of the Rineharts' kids, but cops say they subsequently traced the weed to the family's home, where they "reportedly found illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia in areas commonly used by children between five and eleven years old," the station maintains. Hence, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare took custody of the kids.

Organic compound, the aluminum soap or salt of a mixture of fatty acids, used to thicken gasoline for use as an incendiary in flamethrowers and firebombs. The thickened mixture, itself also called napalm, burns more slowly and can be propelled more accurately and over greater distances than gasoline. When it comes in contact with surfaces, including the human body, it sticks tenaciously and continues to burn. It was developed and first used by the U.S. in World War II. Its use in the Vietnam War became highly controversial.

How to build your own Ozone Machine for cheap
DISCLAIMER: This is dangerous. If you breathe in too much ozone you might die.
Ozone (O3) is one of the most powerful known oxidizers. As a disinfectant, it is about 3,000 times more effective than chlorine. It will kill any kind of bacteria, virus, fungus, yeast, or any other living cell on contact, and it will generally wreak havoc with any kind of organic molecule. And yet it's remarkably fun to play with.
Ozone lacks a key property that makes disinfectants like chlorine and fluorine so harmful -- the ability to persist in the body. Primarily because it spontaneously reacts with itself to revert back to normal oxygen, ozone does not typically penetrate deeply into tissue or persist in the lungs or blood or elsewhere in the body. The most significant risk when playing with ozone is to the lungs, which it can severely irritate. Great precaution should be taken in that regard. If you are asthmatic find something else to build.
Ozone is widely used for disinfecting or sterilizing drinking water, aquarium water, waste water, and pool/spa water, deodorizing/disinfecting air or surfaces, sterilizing operating rooms, food preparation, food storage, insect and disease control in grain storage, and for a number of useful chemical reactions (see wikipedia article on ozone).
I have used it to store bread, preventing it from becoming stale or growing mold; curing athlete's foot in just a few days (by enclosing the foot in a plastic bag filled with ozone once per day); destroying airborne and surface mold and mildew and associated odors after basement flooding, disinfecting and deodorizing a dryer after a possum died in the exhaust vent, neutralizing noxious fumes from sprayed insecticides, and general deodorization.
The machine works by discharging electrons into the air (called a corona discharge), which encourages the available oxygen molecules (O2) to rejoin together into ozone (O3). Overlapping sections of metal screen are separated from each other by glass and given opposite alternating charges of around 10-20 kV. The high voltage causes electrons to free themselves from the the metal, and into the surrounding air, blocked by the glass from reaching the oppositely charged electrode. Localized sections of glass can get very hot, so Pyrex is used. The free electrons then combine with atmospheric O2 to form it into O3, (i.e. 3 O2 → 2 O3). To a lesser degree it also encourages the formation of compounds from available N2. It's a good idea to exclude materials other than the metal and glass, such as any kind of glue, from the reaction zone, as such materials would very likely become subjects of further reactions. The plasma effect from the freed electrons causes a blue glow around the overlapping metal elements. Air is blown through the reaction zone to move the ozone out and new oxygen in, and this also helps to preventing overheating. The outside of the active element should remain cool enough so that plastic is an acceptable material for the enclosure.
To build this ozone machine you'll need about $30 worth of parts from eBay, plus stuff some other odds and ends you might already have around the house. Here's everything you'll need:
• A pyrex glass guitar slide (prefereably large)
• A small amount of steel or aluminum screening
• A short-length section of clear tubing for an enclosure of the active element.
• A medium-length section of general tubing, such as a vacuum hose.
• A blower -- this part depends on your main use for your ozone machine. A small cooling fan would be ideal for most cases. If you're ozonating water, you probably want to use an air pump that is suited to pumping gas into water. Or if you if you want real high performance, you could probably use a vacuum cleaner motor! You'll preferably want something that takes AC mains power, so you can splice it in with the power supply for your transformer.
• A soldering iron and solder
• Electrical tape.
• Duct tape.
Step 1: Cut two strips of the metal screening. The width of strips should be a little less than the length of the guitar slide. The length of the strips should be 4 or 5 inches. Each strip should also be cut so as to have a small tab sticking out by an inch or so, along the axis of the width, which will be used as the soldering point for the wire from the transformer.
Step 2: Wrap the strips into springy cylinders. Shape them so that one will snuggly fit into the inside of the guitar slide, and the other will snuggly fit over the outside. Solder the leads from the transformer to the tabs of the strips, and cover with electrical tape. You might want to add some solder to the outer cylinder to help it keep its shape. It should now look like figure 1.
Step 3: Insert the inner cylinder into one end of the guitar slide, and slide the outer cylinder over the opposite end. Wherever the two overlap is where the reaction will take place. It's important to prevent any overlapping section from approaching either edge of the slide, as that would allow the electrical arc to jump the gap. Similarly, look for and trim off any stray wires that might serve as a path for wayward electrons. It should now look like figure 2
Step 4: Plug in the transformer, and see if it works! If so, should see a blue glow and a quiet crackling or buzzing noise (see figure 3). If you are not getting a short circuit and not getting a glow, you might have too much surface area for the voltage being supplied by your transformer. In that case, try adjusting the amount of section overlap, by sliding the cylinders out away from the tube (figure 4) or back in (preferably after shutting off the power). Ideal results are the maximum overlapping surface area that produces a clearly visible plasma effect.
Step 5: Place the device inside the clear tube enclosure. You will have to slide out one of the cylinder elements to do this, and then replace it. Once the cylinder elements are back in their proper positions, secure each cylinder edge to the glass slide edge with electrical tape to keep them there. Only tape outside the area of reaction (the overlap area). Otherwise the tape is likely to burn, melt, or get otherwise involved in the plasma reaction.
Step 6: Secure the inner device in place within the outer enclosure using electrical tape as necessary. If you can secure it so the outer cylinder doesn't contact the outer tube, so much the better, but in my experience it is not a problem for it to touch. The metal gets warm, but as you can see in figure 5, it's the glass that bears the brunt of the abuse from the electrons. You might want to cut notches in your outer enclosure for the transformer leads to exit out of. You should now have something like figure 6.
Step 7: Using duct tape, attach your tubing or vacuum hose pieces to either end of the enclosure, allowing the transformer wires to come out through the duct taped seal. Then attach your blower to one end. Preferably it's AC powered, so you can splice its power cord with the transformer's so you can have a common power cord. Because of the high voltages involved, it's probably a good idea to connect the ground wire of the power cord to the blower chassis, to prevent it from accumulating charges. My completed project looks like figure 7, but depending on your application, you may not want to use as much tubing length, and your blower will preferably be less bulky than mine.
Step 8: Go ozonate something! Take care to prevent humans, pets and livestock from inhaling of high concentrations of ozone.
In my experience, a room can be safely ozonated at high levels by leaving it unoccupied and its doors closed while running the ozone machine for an extended period. After turning it off, leave the room unoccupied until the smell of ozone in the room is no longer strong. It is to be expected that you will be able to smell the ozone in other parts of the house. (If you are married, and you can't smell it in other parts of the house, it is to be expected that your wife will be able to smell it in other parts of the house -- It's possible your wife might not like the ozone machine until you do something substancially useful with it.)
The ozone machine should NOT be run for extended periods in an occupied room. If you are in the same room as your operating ozone machine, be aware of any sensations of irritation or tickling to your throat or lungs. If you experience this, you have inhaled too much ozone! Go outside immediately! If you fail to do so, you may soon reach a threshold where it will suddenly become difficult to breath, and fresh air will not immediately resolve the situation. This is a very unpleasant sensation. ...er, I mean I would imagine it to be.
The other safety consideration is in regard to fire. I think the best way to mitigate this risk is to stress-test the machine -- that is, run the machine for, say, 3-4 hours under controlled conditions. If that goes without incident, it could be presumed safe for shorter periods of time as well. Also, every time you start it up, visually inspect the active mechanism to make sure there is no damage, and no movement of parts that might produce a short.

Girls Soccer: Marian Catholic continues its run with shutout of Tinley Park
By Steve Millar For Sun-Times Media May 22, 2013 9:22PM
Tinley Park's Nicole DeMarco controls a bouncing ball with her head. | Allen Cunningham~For Sun-Times Media

Updated: June 24, 2013 2:02PM
It took Marian Catholic just three playoff games to equal the number of wins it had the entire regular season.
After entering the postseason with a 3-12-3 record, the Spartans will be one of the final 16 teams standing in the state in Class 2A after they pulled another upset Wednesday night, topping Tinley Park 1-0 in a Lincoln-Way West Sectional semifinal.
"It's amazing to pull of all these upsets," said Marian's Abigail Kresal, who scored the lone goal. "We never had enough players earlier in the season (due to injuries). We knew when we had all our players we could play strong."
The 10th-seeded Spartans (6-12-3) will meet top-seeded Lemont in Saturday's championship match. No. 3 seed Tinley Park finished 16-6.
Marian was coming off a shocking offensive outburst in a 4-2 regional final win over Lincoln-Way West. Wednesday, the Spartans used a more familiar formula for success, locking down defensively and scoring on their only shot on goal.
Hailey Losselyong set up the score, making a strong run down the left side of the field. A Tinley Park defender was able to knock the ball away, but it deflected right to Kresal in the middle of the field, where she finished with a high left-footed shot.
"I put myself in that position and I knew we needed a goal," Kresal said. "I knew I couldn't shoot with my right foot so I hit it with my left and I was just hoping it went in."
Sarah Sieracki made two saves for the Spartans in the shutout, including a big stop on an Eli Carillo shot in the first half.
The Titans had a couple of other good chances in the final 12 minutes of the match, but Angela Pulice and Jenna Rivera sent shots just wide.
"It was an evenly matched game," Tinley Park coach Paul Dorney said. "We knew coming in that Marian would play tough defense and they'd be tough to crack. It just came down to one random deflection and she scored."
Marian will Saturday try for its biggest upset yet.
"(Lemont) is the team that's supposed to be here," Losselyong said. "We have nothing to lose."

In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in behavioral research on a wide variety of topics, from behavioral finance, labor contracts, philanthropy, and the analysis of savings and poverty, to eyewitness identification and sentencing decisions, racism, sexism, health behaviors, and voting. Research findings have often been strikingly counterintuitive, with serious implications for public policymaking. In this book, leading experts in psychology, decision research, policy analysis, economics, political science, law, medicine, and philosophy explore major trends, principles, and general insights about human behavior in policy-relevant settings. Their work provides a deeper understanding of the many drivers--cognitive, social, perceptual, motivational, and emotional--that guide behaviors in everyday settings. They give depth and insight into the methods of behavioral research, and highlight how this knowledge might influence the implementation of public policy for the improvement of society. This collection examines the policy relevance of behavioral science to our social and political lives, to issues ranging from health, environment, and nutrition, to dispute resolution, implicit racism, and false convictions. The book illuminates the relationship between behavioral findings and economic analyses, and calls attention to what policymakers might learn from this vast body of groundbreaking work. Wide-ranging investigation into people's motivations, abilities, attitudes, and perceptions finds that they differ in profound ways from what is typically assumed. The result is that public policy acquires even greater significance, since rather than merely facilitating the conduct of human affairs, policy actually shapes their trajectory. The first interdisciplinary look at behaviorally informed policymaking Leading behavioral experts across the social sciences consider important policy problems A compendium of behavioral findings and their application to relevant policy domains

Tried doing a google search but had no luck.
I just bought a Toro snowblower that I will fix up and give to my elderly brother in-law. It's a Toro 521 (5 HP with 21" cut) The model is 38052 Serial # is 5004797. From the looks of it I would guesstimate late 80's, however I would like to know the true age. Can anybody steer me to where I can find how to break down the serial # to determine age. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

To educate and develop the whole child for Christian leadership and God's glory.
ESLRS (Expected School wide Learning Results)
A Lion is:
- Spiritually aware
- Academically prepared
- Socially equipped
- An effective communicator
Light the Bay Christian Academy's goal is to provide avenues for the development of excellence in the areas of spirituality, academics, and character for each student entrusted in its care. Through this, we strive to cultivate effective future leaders. We will accomplish this by providing an accelerated program of learning that will produce a superior foundation upon which our students can build.
(Proverbs 22:6)
We believe:
- The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative written Word of God.
- There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
- The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance, faith, and baptism by the blood of Christ.
- In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Holy life.
Light the Bay Christian Academy is committed to excellence in academic achievement and quality instruction. The entire process of Christian education is seen as a means of bringing the student into fellowship with God, developing a Christian mind, and in training the student in Godly living. The reason is to equip the student with the tools needed to fulfill God's total purpose for his life. This involves meeting the spiritual, moral, academic, physical, and social needs in conjunction with complementing factors of school, home, and church. LTBCA encourages learning that involves interaction between people and ideas. We believe God created everyone with individuality, value, purpose, and equality. Therefore, LTBCA seeks to enable each student to learn to make meaningful, Godly commitments and changes through individualization of instruction. We, therefore, acknowledge that the concepts and basis of a Christian educational philosophy are these:
- God is the creator and sustainer of all things, the source of all truth. God maintains control over His entire universe.
- God has revealed Himself in the person of Jesus Christ as attested in the Bible.
- Regeneration is by faith in Jesus Christ. True meaning can be ascertained only in the light of His person, purpose, and work.
- The student's home, church, and school experiences and training should be a preparation for a life of fellowship with God and of service to man.
- At school, the teacher represents the extension of authority and discipline as an agent of the parent.
- God has given special abilities to each student. It is the parent's and teacher's responsibility to challenge each child according to those God given abilities and talents, and to seek to develop his/her potential to the maximum.
- The Christian is not to be conformed to this world's standards, but must recognize and submit to the authority of our nation.
- Students should be encouraged to become spiritually mature and to grow into Christ-likeness. They have the responsibility to the world around them to become the world's seasoning and light.

Lee University is opening its fourth annual Global Gift Shop, a collaborative effort with many fair trade craft suppliers.
Holiday shoppers in Cleveland have an opportunity to embrace the spirit of the season while assisting those in need. The gift shop offers handmade arts and crafts, from musical instruments, home décor and other fair trade merchandise from Ten Thousand Villages, People for Care and Learning, Fair Ladies in Paraguay, and other non-profit organizations.
"This year we are hoping to reach out to the larger community," said Dr. Murl Dirksen, Lee professor and coordinator for the Global Gift Shop location. "Fair trade should be all our concern and we welcome interested folks to assist us in advertising, merchandizing and, of course, buying these unique artisan creations."
Ten Thousand Villages strives to support local economy and artistry by providing a market in the United States for 138 artisan groups from 38 countries. Although Lee hosts Global Gift Shop, 90 percent of proceeds return to the artists, while the remaining 10 percent goes to Cleveland community groups and charities. The shop is staffed by student volunteers.
As one of the world's oldest and largest fair trade organizations, they have built long-term relationships with artisans that are based on mutual understanding and respect. Fair trade enables artisans to earn a fair wage and provides the opportunity for a better quality of life.
The Global Gift Shop will also host products from local nonprofit organization People for Care and Learning. It was established in 2002 to provide global care and learning opportunities to children, widows, and their communities.
Items will also be available from Fair Ladies, a non-profit micro-business operated by women living in the slums of Asuncion, Paraguay. Lee alumna Tarah Carnahan began Fair Ladies in 2008.
Carnahan said, "Women [in Asuncion] work in toxic garbage dumps for 12 hours a day making less than five dollars or succumb to prostitution. Our desire is to give options to these women, to allow them to dream new dreams for their families, and become emerging business leaders in their own community."
Global Gift Shop is located at 440 North Ocoee Street, directly across from the First Presbyterian Church and two blocks south of the new Lee University Chapel in a former drive-through bank building.

Quake 3 Arena is getting very old, but is still one of the best ways of testing video and PC systems for any instability and best performance hence the reason we are still using it today.
At the lower resolution the extremely old Quake 3 shows no difference between the cards until we bump the resolution up to 1600 X 1200 and the optimized OpenGL aspects of the 6600GT card comes out again and shows it face.

Virtual Book Tour for Lisa Pell's Who's Your Daddy, Baby?
Inspired by the author's experience, Who's Your Daddy, Baby? is the story of Lori McGuire Pomay, a happily married career woman living in suburban Washington, D.C. Lori undergoes genetic testing for in vitro fertilization and her world is rocked when she is told the dad she always knew could not possibly have been her biological father. This mid-life shocker sends her into an alternately hilarious, heartwarming, and heartbreaking search for truth about her heritage – from Appalachian Cherokees to Purple Kings on a church stage, with high-rolling gamblers, car dealers, dentists, and all manner of confused amnesiacs in their seventies along for the ride.
With Lori's mother having died in the 1990s, taking many of the answers to her questions with her, the situation was rife with miscalculations. Initially, the protagonist Lori McGuire Pomay's only clues to a prospective unknown biological father's identity are memories of her late mother discussing pre-marital dating in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, and faded old letters from several paternal contenders, written around the time of her conception in the apparently swinging spring of 1958. The hunt eventually involves possibly ten paternal prospects; their families and friends; the membership of two churches; the high-rolling gambler ex-husband of a famous Hollywood actress; two families of car dealers; several free-spirited road trips around Virginia, and numerous humorous telephone calls and e-mails.
It all boils down to timing and opportunity. Lori learns more than she ever wanted to know about the vagaries of female fertility, the fallibility of half-siblingship DNA testing, problems with blood type testing/mutations, the impact of several genetic mutations – and her late mother's courtships. Readers learn more than they might have known about Appalachian heritage, northern European ethnicity, inbreeding, sex and Rock n' Roll in the 1950s, the bonds of motherhood, and the nature of paternity. Throw in the onset of a puzzling hereditary vertigo condition set off by hormone injections, plus a trip to the hospital for chest pains, and "Who's Your Daddy, Baby?" will leave your head spinning.
It's a magical mystery tour and "Who Done It" classic maybe only a mother could create, and as Paul McCartney might say, the answer to which maybe only your mother should know. Then again, there's the possibility medical testing mistakes might be fueling this comedy of errors, but, whatever the answer, Lori's world is forever changed by the journey.

A recent study made headlines (including here at The Gospel Coalition) by claiming to measure the economic value of work in the home. Although the study provides a useful reminder of the value of domestic work, it may also point to an important shortcoming in the contemporary church's understanding of work in the home and in the economy.
Financial service company Investopedia added up what it would cost to hire someone to do cooking, cleaning, child care, driving, laundry, and lawn service equivalent to a full-time homemaker. They came up with $96,261.
Studies like this one are perennial; we've been doing them since at least the 1950s. They're a useful reminder of how much productive work goes on in the home, and how much the home therefore matters. This is obviously a critical point for the church to reinforce from a scriptural standpoint.
However, studies like this can also lead us in the wrong direction. The first studies of this kind were conducted for the purpose of denigrating domestic labor. The idea was to demonstrate that marriage was an oppressive institution. Men were using marriage to extract enormous economic value from women without compensation. Women wouldn't be liberated until they became economically independent from men. Thus marriage must no longer include an economic union of the partners, because that's exploitative. Marriage had to be reduced to a merely sexual relationship. And you can see where the logic proceeded from there.
Investopedia seems to have the opposite idea in mind---to honor domestic labor. Describing their findings, they emphasize that the economic value of domestic labor implies marriage partners are economically interdependent. If the husband works outside the home and the wife works inside it, he is as economically dependent upon her as she is upon him. And while Investopedia doesn't make this point, you can say the same of two-income couples. Regardless of whether you have a one-income or two-income family, the basic point is that marriage is not just a sexual relationship; it is also, among much else, a state of permanent economic interdependence. (This is one of the many injustices involved in divorce.)
That's great as far as it goes. I'm always a fan of honoring domestic labor. I love full-time moms so much, I married one.
Materialistic Assumptions
Yet the method of their study may have a tendency to reinforce materialistic assumptions about the nature of human relationships in both the family and the economy. Since God originally designed human beings to spend most of their time in productive work because he wants us to bless each other, understanding the social conditions of productive work is critical for the church.
The study invites us to think of domestic work as something that could be reduced to a series of merely contractual services. The biggest trouble comes in when they define parenting as "child care" and measure its economic value by looking at what a babysitter would charge. Parenting isn't babysitting. It is the unique and exhilarating adventure of nurturing an infinitely precious, infinitely complex, infinitely frustrating (I have a rambunctious 6-year-old) image-bearing human being from infancy to maturity.
You can't measure the value of that by asking how much babysitters charge. This is why, for example, child support payments are no substitute for a father.
You can't even measure its economic value that way. The ultimate precondition of all economic value is someone's productive work, and parenting does more than anything to make us into productive workers. Our parents predominate in the formation of our virtues, knowledge, habits, and socialization. Just think for a moment about the future economic productivity of a well-raised child versus a neglected child. Parenting affects not only the child's earnings but also the productivity of the entire economy and hence the survival and flourishing of our society.
The study can also be critiqued in the opposite direction. In some ways it underestimates the economic contribution of family members who work outside the home. For example, its estimates include the cost of providing hired domestic workers with benefits such as health insurance. That adds a substantial dollar amount. Yet in most families these benefits are already provided by family members who work outside the home. Including them in the estimate assumes that these benefits aren't shared. Economic interdependence is a two-way street. Moreover, the study includes the cost of lawn care, which is a task that usually falls solely upon the husband---the notorious "grass ceiling."
Our Very Survival
This is a topic that professional economists are beginning to discover and explore. There has been an explosion of empirical studies linking family life---in other words, productive work in the home---to economic outcomes. The economic value of the family is not measured in five-figure sums but in the very survival of our national economic system.
These findings are slowly making their way up to the theoretical level as well. Books like Love and Economics and Gross National Happiness have challenged some of the methodological assumptions of classical economics. A school of thought called New Institutional Economics is exploring how economic transactions are shaped by the social structure of institutions, including not just businesses and the like but also the family and even the church.
I wouldn't be so concerned about this study's method if not for the larger and more destructive cultural dynamic that it may unintentionally reinforce. One of the most seductive myths of our time is that economics can be reduced to material things like money and contracts. Most of the economic dysfunctions we see in the world around us can be traced back to the assumption that economic activity is merely a giant web of utilitarian transactions. This trains us to think about our daily work and our participation in the economy in terms of what we get out of it, not the blessings we cultivate from the creation order through our work.
Just as sex is never merely a physical event but is always a moral and spiritual act, productive work is never merely a utilitarian transaction but is always moral and spiritual. Just as marriage can't be reduced to just a sexual relationship, economics can't be reduced to merely finances. Trying to measure the economic value of parenting brings all this home on both fronts.
I'm glad that voices like Investopedia are reminding us that domestic work is economically productive. In addition to honoring those who perform this labor, let's take this opportunity to remind ourselves of two other enduring truths. One is that social structures can never be separated into hermetically sealed silos---the family here, the economy there, the church over here, creative arts over there, politics over yonder, and so on. Human civilization is an organic ecosystem; it is complex and dynamic, but always integrated. Everything affects everything else. The other is that there is no such thing as a morally neutral social structure. The family, the economy, and so forth are just institutional expressions of human relationships. God forbid we ever treat the relationships among his image-bearing creatures as anything less than profoundly spiritual realities.

Philip Treacy wants Marilyn Monroe's eyelashes. The fake ones, of course. "She used them to great effect," says the Irish milliner, who has adorned both heads of state (Queen Elizabeth II) and head cases (Marilyn Manson). "They come up for auction every now and then."
Recently, however, after splurging on a $45,000 Irving Penn photograph of fifties "it" girl Jean Patchett at Christie's London during an art-acquisition spree for the new G hotel in Galway, Treacy wavered, and another fan nabbed the lashes. "Did you know she came to Galway?" Smiling, he points out that during her visit to this medieval city on the west coast of Ireland no one recognized her. "She was having a day off from being Marilyn Monroe."
The morning sun lifts the sea fog obscuring Galway Bay. We're in a taxi van on a hunt for the 37-year-old designer's favorite landmarks, some of which influenced his first hotel project. The blinkered fashion world might speculate about why he has chosen to expand his brand via a boutique property in an Irish backwater. But exploring his home turf with him makes it evident that this was a nostalgic move by the reserved couturier, who is encamped here with his two Jack Russell puppies, on his own break from being Philip Treacy.
Born in the isolated village of Ahascragh, an hour east of Galway City, Treacy left Ireland to study fashion at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1994, he opened a small hat shop in Belgravia's Elizabeth Street and quickly became famous for his fanciful collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, and Alexander McQueen. He rarely has time to spare for visits home, and he's only in town now for business: bringing his witty, provocative aesthetic to the G, a steel-and-glass complex overlooking Lough Atalia, in partnership with the local architectural firm of Douglas Wallace and the Irish group Monogram Hotels. Treacy's return to his formative stomping ground is timely. Galway has been gaining attention as a seaside bolt-hole for euro-flush Dubliners and as a gateway to Connemara for nostalgic Celts on the other side of the Atlantic. And whether the small city is ready or not, the G is about to pull it into the 21st century and permanently alter notions about Irish style.
Visual references at the G include Versailles, the Ziegfeld Follies, and Andy Warhol. A long public gallery punctuated by a catwalk carpet in raspberry red opens onto drawing rooms that would titillate Marie Antoinette. The silver-toned Grand Salon is Treacy's own Hall of Mirrors: more than 300 bubble lights designed by Tom Dixon cascade from the ceiling, and Swarovski crystals stud Plexiglas cocktail tables positioned to catch the light from floor-to-ceiling windows. The Pink Salon, where Treacy has placed both the Penn portrait and an informal snapshot of Monroe that she bequeathed to her secretary, is defined by hot-pink camouflage-print sofas. "I didn't want the G to be souvenir Irish,'" Treacy explains. As we walk down Quay Street, Galway's pedestrian artery, Treacy points to a row of vivid Georgian shops festooned with hanging baskets of fuchsia and petunias. "Maybe it's the grim weather. We're not afraid of color," he says of the Irish affection for a boisterous palette. "I had an aunt who used to paint her house a different shade—orange, green, wine red—every month. That's why there's a lot of color in the hotel. It showcases my taste.
Treacy's taste also embraces iconic women beyond Monroe, including his 96-year-old London neighbor, actress Luise Rainer, who starred in The Great Ziegfeld, and clients such as Angelica Huston, Madonna, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Linda Evangelista, who modeled the twisted birdcage hat that landed him his first cover for British Vogue, has lent her name to a suite at the G. Treacy frequently collaborates with other artists, and he invited some friends to enhance the hotel's vibe. E'SPA guru Susan Harmsworth created treatments for the G's rooftop spa. Fashion illustrator David Downton contributed sketches for the guest rooms. For the public areas, rock musician Dan Donovan curated "sound zones" ranging from moody Brian Eno ambient to Groove Armada techno dub. Yes, there's Irish music, but in keeping with Treacy's avoid-the-obvious credo, Donovan sampled symphonic compositions by John Reynolds, Sinéad O'Connor's producer.
"Let's visit the swans...They're beautiful," Treacy urges. We head to the canal basin near Nimmo's Pier and he plops down on a quay spattered with gull droppings. A bevy of greedy swans snatches at bread scraps. Treacy's mother raised chickens, geese, and ducks: he has had a fascination with feathers since childhood. One of his most remarkable hats is a ship shaped from quills and pearl buttons, which he fashioned after reading about a naval battle in historian Olivier Bernier's Pleasure and Privilege: Life in France, Naples, and America, 1770-1790. Treacy channels ideas from "whatever is in the wind," he says. His breezy sources have included a TV documentary on UFO's in Roswell, New Mexico, and the horns of an English Soay ram owned by his bohemian patron and mentor Isabella Blow. Analyze his wildest constructions—a shiver of monarch butterflies, a lurid orchid, a nest of hungry crows—and you'll be persuaded that Treacy is an engineer miscast as a milliner. "He thinks in 3-D," says the G's Irish architect, Hugh Wallace, who sought Treacy as the hotel's genius loci. "He understands space. Most designers can't do this. But he gets it." Monogram Hotels owner Gerry Barrett sums up why he tapped Treacy to art direct his Galway flagship: "He's the only Irish designer with international recognition." Across the Atlantic, that profile is about to be elevated further. Although Treacy's capricious headdresses have been exhibited at the Victoria & Albert, Milan's Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, and the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, their first fashion-art acknowledgments in the United States will come this month, at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and again this summer, at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Michigan.

Glazed Turnips with Scallions and Parsley Reviews
Gourmet | November 2003; originally published February 1991
reviews & comments (14)
This stuff is dope! And this is coming from a hardcore turnip hater. I do agree that the cooking time is too long and the glaze needs to be reduced without overcooking the turnips but otherwise the simple ingredients produce a wow worthy side dish.
i thought this recipe was really delicious, will definitely make it over and over when i get turnips in my CSA. i took the turnips out before reducing so they didn't overcook, and would recommend not adding the additional salt in the beginning, as the chicken stock gets saltier as you reduce it and makes the final dish a little on the too-salty side.
Very nice recipe and very pure way to use turnips. I had to take mine out before the liquid reduced to a glaze because i didn't want them to get too soft, but i returned them at the end to finish in the glaze.
Great way to celebrate super-fresh turnips. I'd leave the sugar out next time, given the natural sweetness of turnips out of the garden. Used good veggie broth instead of chicken and a heavy hand on the scallions and parsley. It's all I ate for dinner!
These are very tasty, but they tend to get lost on the Thanksgiving table. The flavors are so mild they don't hold up against other bolder sides. I honestly am not sure if I'd make them again just because there are so many other things I can't wait to make again.
I'm not actually rating this recipe since mine didn't come out well due to poor quality turnips. It was really sad, as we grew the turnips ourselves. With the drought here the turnips didn't grow quite fast enough and by the time I harvested them they were very woody and bitter. That said, my woody turnips required the full amount of cooking time to soften. I think that if you have more tender turnips, definitely keep a close eye on them to make sure they don't turn to mush. I added in some extra sugar to tone down the bitterness. I think this is likely a very good recipe, just don't bother if you don't have very nice turnips.
I make this all the time. Cut the cooking time way down or the turnips will turn to mush. Often I have to remove the turnips from the pan when reducing the broth lest I overcook them.
This is a pretty tasty dish, and I am eager to make it again. Next time I won't simmer so long, as I'm afraid the turnips were overdone. I removed them from the pan ASAP and then reduced just the sauce to avoid further damage. The turnips from our organic produce box were as sweet as could be, and with the parsley and minced garlic chive topping, they were pretty to serve.

Other Pets at Pooches & Purrs Cooperative - Brattleboro
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rita ($50 off), a Brattleboro Beagle/Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Border Collie for sale in Brattleboro, or seeking a Beagle/Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Brattleboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brattleboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brattleboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Border Collie breeders who help with Beagle/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brattleboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

This dress is based on pattern #105 Burda 05/2010. It is a little similar to the dolman top I made earlier www.burdastyle.com/projects/split-sleeve-dolman-top
I have used lightweight printed jersey and rubberband at the waist. I have just decorated the dress with a little belt :)
PS. I added a project from my draft from the 28th of Oct. yesterday, but it didn't come up in the members projects. If you like you can have a look here;
