A routine checkup for one of my patients turned into something far more powerful. My patient had undergone surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, but he's now cancer-free and looking forward to a life of health and well-being. As we visited, I asked him about his family and his business.
He was quiet for a few moments and then tearfully responded that a devoted young colleague had been tragically killed in an industrial accident. As head of the company, my patient was devastated. He said he'd requested an outside review of the company's systems and procedures. State and governmental agencies documented that every reasonable safeguard had been followed. This was simply a tragic mistake.
Often these situations ignite an avalanche of anger, bitterness and recrimination, followed by bitter, protracted lawsuits that drag on forever. In this case, however, none of this happened. Of course, the family was overwhelmed with feelings of grief and loss, but they did not strike out against the company. Their belief system was deeply anchored in forgiveness. They embraced the notion of a grand plan that unfolds according to a greater purpose.
The family reached out to my patient and publicly forgave him and his company, allowing the healing to begin. It is a rare person who has the gift of total forgiveness in the face of devastating loss. But it reminds us that during tragic times we find sources of strength and peace to keep us going.
What other lessons can we learn from this experience and what stories can you share about the power of forgiveness?

I am so full of anger for so many years. How do you forgive your childrens father for molest ing your little girl and destroying your childrens lives. I want to finally be able to feel free and move forward, it has been 25 years.
Forgive and forget does not work , when you feel your whole life with someone(40+)years has been one BIG LIE.finding out that your husband had sex the nite before your wedding and has lived his life doing what ever makes him feel good. You trying to keep your family together so your kids did not have to go through a divorce . holding on for all those years has stolen you joy. there has been some good times but feeling you have been cheated out of the best years of your life really hurts.Finding out about an affair and sex on the internet 4yrs ago, makes you wonder just what has be going on. sad to say you only married this man because you were pg at 19.and trapped, unable to have the courage to change. You feel you have been cheated out of life, so you stay in a mentally abusive marriage because in your generation and religious beliefs holds you back (1970s). you are trapped with small children and no education except a stay at home mom. Finding out about thing by hearing taped conversations really tells the truth ,althought the person denies all. Anger, deceptions.and revenge is all that fulls your days for 12 months now. HOW DO YOU HEAL AND LIVE HAPPY AGAIN.
On 27th January 2013 what i saw caused my heart beat stop for 5 mins.My 1 year relationships which i took it very serious, devouted, did everything for this man, never to know he was going to break my heart, He visited me at the house and then he told me he was going to see his parents who happen to stay near my house, After 20 mins i felt things were not right and decided to go to his house Oh my God, he was on top of another women. I saw darkness.I jumped over the gate, he had not closed the bedroom window so i saw it. Since then i have tried to move on and i am unable, i loved and trusted this man so much.I have tried to forgive him and no. it cant happen. I always feel that the only cure is to revenge. Up to date am still fighting this depression, it affected me very much. I was depressed up to today whenever i remember that day my heart throbs fast.I cant forgive him.
I was abused in all forms by the father of my son. My relatives/family wants me to file case and sue the GUY, but I decided not too. I even reach the point of killing myself after a month that I gave birth to my son. My life was too miserable.
Then one day, I wake up thanking God for the life that He gave me.
I even doubt myself that I passed all of them. When I tell people about the store of my life. I'm amazed that I was too strong to pass that challenges.
Now my son is now 5 years old and I leave a very simple life and I'm happy.
Without hatred to the GUY. I see him with his family, still he haven't changed.
I forgive him and now I leave in happiness with my son.
forgiveness is possible — even if reconciliation isn't.
forgiveness is possible — even if reconciliation isn't.
I forgive everyone even the worst person but can't forgive me ex-husband who left me 10 years ago when I was pregnant and snatched every single thing from me, that time I was only 20 year old.
I'm glad to know I'm not alone on this journey. Though I know there are no quick fixes in this life, I'm going to work on some of the things you all have suggested. I reached tbis blog while in the process of doing a biblical word study on «forgiving» until God releases me from this pain.
Holding on to anger and bitterness is easy, but forgiving is hard. In my case I had to look at my own actions and understand that I was partly to blame for the situation but in cases of abuse the child is never to blame. As we all work thru our own issues I hope we can all find the strength inside to "let it go" so our anger does not affect the loved ones surrounding us. I pray I find the strength soon and I am grateful to those who have shared their stories.
Forgiveness is not an emotional decision. It is a deliberate act of the will. My only motivation for forgiving was a desire to honor that command given by my LORD. My feelings did not agree with my confession for over two full weeks, but my will and desire prevailed, and breakthrough came. The freedom from that load was worth the struggle! That was over thirty years ago, and I still remember the thrill of being free! Since then, I have had many opportunities to be unforgiving, but did I grab on to them? NO WAY! Not after discovering the joy and liberty of forgiveness, not after knowing that if I refuse to forgive, I place myself under a curse, and I am open to being oppressed and in torment! Read Matt. 18:21-end. Nevertheless, it is possible that un-forgiveness is so deep-rooted that one might not even recognize it! Here is an exercise that helped me...you may try it and see. Ensure you have some private time alone, and invite the Lord Jesus in to help you forgive in the end. List the name up to 5 persons you may be angry with, or have a judgment against. Select one to write to; tell what they did, how it made you feel (don't be afraid to re-experience the emotion), tell how it has affected your life up to now, and what you are doing about it today (forgive)! It has done miracles for me - over and over again! Test it, and enjoy the freedom that comes from honoring God by forgiving others!
My dad was abusive and violent towards me. Years after I left home in a pohne call from him where he was being bitter about my sister I stopped him talking. I camly told him that even though he had done so much harm to me I wanted him to know something. I said " I forgive you".
As I was putting the phone down I could hear him having a breakdown, he sounded like he was affronted.
I didn't think before I said it, it just came out. And I ment it. And it was like Id been carrying something heavy and awful around that he gave me and I only noticed when I handed it back to him. The relief was amazing. Then for some reason I started laughing,for ages, tears running down my face.
When my dad died a few years ago, I was holding his hand.
I can't always manage forgiveness, but I always try, now that I know how amazing it feels.
Forgiveness has been difficult throughout my life. My so called brother sexually abused me when I was five years old and beyond and my so called father emotionally and physically abused me from the time I was 5-13. I took it upon my self to try and kill myself in order to get away from this abused. I spent several weeks in the hospital and then I returned back home to only be put back this situation. I'm 67 years of age and still live with the scars of abuse. I'm the youngest of 14 children and was the only one that had sustained this abuse making me believe I wasn't his son and to this day none of my siblings have anything to do with me. One thing that kept me going and forgiving is the love of Jesus Christ that lived within my life throughout this abuse. I've learned to forgive but well never forget. Keep me in yours prayers.

I am so thankful I found these comments. I have been angry for so long with lifes circumstances that i have felt like it was never going to go away. I am starting to forgive myself and others. It is like a big load has been lifted off my chest and I can breathe. Good luck to everyone on their healing.
I am glad I found this site! I have been struggling with forgiving some co-workers for their actions that were directed to me. After I go over the pain and feeling of distrust, I wanted to find a way to get back at them. I realize now, that this makes no sense and I am spending my time in the wrong places. As I have asked often for forgiveness, I now find it's my turn to forgive those who wanted to disrespect me. I am gaining strength each day and my feeling of seeking revenge lessens. I have forgiven them
Forgiveness isn't really about the other person. It's about you, setting the prisoner free only to discover the prisoner was you. When you hang on to anger, hatred and resentment because of something someone did to you, you are the only one who is paying the price. You will bring poison into every area of your life as long as you hang on to all that bitterness and unforgiveness. Forgiving someone, as hard as it is to do, will allow you the freedom you need to release yourself from the emotional prison you have been placed into with this person by not being able to forgive. It is not about them, and whether they deserve to be forgiven, it's about you and being true and kind to yourself so you can move on.
Nice post, Dr. Creagan. It takes a very special person to find the courage to forgive another. When I was nine years old, I was given my last rite because they thought I was going to die. At a time where most humans would have someone around for comfort, I had no such luck. All I needed was someone to sit next to me and say:"I'm here for you." I called upon a middle-aged woman--a family friend and begged or her presence. Her answer was:"Leave me alone; I 'm not your mother." Amazingly, I defied Mr. Death. Well, that's another big story. However, years later, fate brought that same woman into my life under the most amazing circumstance. She was sick, homeless and lonely. I nursed her back to health and cared for her as if she were my own mother. I never once mentioned the past.
I am going through a difficult time in my life and I want to thank
everyone for helping me. I especially want to than Alan whose
words really made me look at things differently. I feel that I will soon be able to smile again.
I agree, as a Christian I know I have to forgive, but it seems SO hard to forgive an absive man who mentally and physically abused my daughter in front of her 9 year old son! I may someday be able to forgive, but I feel I NEVER want to see him again!
On topofit, he is SUCH an opinionated man!
people think of it this way everybody has to forgive at one point in life,its the test of life everybody gets a turn,to learn from the experience is to forgive or you be in pain so ones you learn that be wise about who you choose to share your self with,not everybody has gone thru the test,its all a learning process to know your self is to know the other one love..so hurry up and learn dont you want to know what happeneds next. apply this info where it best fits
I tend to be a giver. I give to much and when there is a disagreement, I end up expendable. It seems to me that people that are continually abrassive and than do something nice end up having better realationships and luck than I have had. Moving forward has been difficult. I always want validation that I know I'll never get. Any tips on forgiveness?
I thought this was a very intriguing article. I have been working on meditating more to help cultivate forgiveness. I also have been doing yoga some and found a Yoga for Stress Relief that I find helpful. www.bodywisdomdvds.com
On so many levels I disagree and find this article manipulative emotionally, psychologically and just plain shallow. Forgiveness is not ever to relieve others of blame or responsibility. Forgiveness actually heals those who have been hurt and impacted by whatever event has occurred. One can forgive forever the person or entity who has caused or somehow helped to create suffering, but that action does not create any change in others. It creates change in the one doing the forgiving. People who have been forgiven and want to be forgiven will find this life changing and an event that is meaningful, but forgiveness in and of itself does nothing to those who have caused harm. This article while expressing a noble ideal, loses it's credibility when it glorifies forgiveness as some healing component to happiness and well being for someone that may be at fault for another s pain. I found this article too shallow and emotionally button pushing. By the way I have been the forgiver of the person who raped me and murdered my friend, but that act of forgiveness has not impacted the person who did those acts. Letting go is not forgetting what happened, that act was so horrendous. Letting go was the act of "not being victimized" by what happened, but moving on with my life rather than staying stuck in that moment. Whether the doer repents or not is of no concern, I choose to move on and not be further victimized by an insane act. My act of forgiving didn't mean becoming an amnes
Jane, I agree that forgiveness is a form of letting go, and that the two are not necessarily the same. But to clarify the earlier comment, I view forgiveness as primarily different from reconciliation or forgetting, because the latter two are contingent on the assent of someone else whose choices are beyond control. But forgiveness is the free choice of its grantor to let go of resentment or chances for retribution. It is the act of allowing oneself the freedom to move forward that is the gift of forgiveness. If forgiveness were dependent upon the (all too rare) expressions of genuine contrition and repentance of an offending party, then opportunities for forgiveness would be proportionally limited, and it's hard to see the capacity to forgive constrained in that way. In sum, forgiveness is more than *merely* letting to--it's moving forward in freedom, without rancor, without regret, without contingency--and therein lies its power to mobilise one's life to the better in the present and going forward. This is just one individual's viewpoint.
Perhaps there is a difference in "letting go" and "forgiveness." Letting go of an injustice is a decision to free ourselves from something in the past that harmed us. It is a decision to move on with our lives with greater freedom. Forgiveness is a response to honest repentance. Forgiveness involves at least an attempt at reconciliation and a healing of a relationship. If there is no repentance, perhaps the best we can do is "let go."
Having been the target of a very stressful frivolous lawsuit several years ago (which was eventually dismissed), I have may have acquired a deeper sense of what it means to forgive. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, even if it is others whom you perceived to have wronged you. Under the circumstances, I had the opportunity to go back and sue those who wrongfully sued me--to seek redress, to give them a taste of what they had put me through. In the end, though, I simply didn't want to carry the burden, and let it go. Several thousand years ago, the Roman emperor/philosopher Marcus Aurelius recommended training our minds at reframing rather than blaming. He may have oversimplified a bit, but he might also have had a point. Certainly we should make *proper* use of the legal system where appropriate. Certainly, we should demand accountability where it is due. But one need not hold on to hurt or bitterness forever. Again, I see forgiveness not as something you give others, but rather something you give yourself, no matter the source of the injustice or the hurt--and being human, we all deserve it! As Charles Shultz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip supposedly said, "There's no problem so big that you can't walk away from it." If walking away is a metaphor for forgiving, then I will agree!
Yes, Martha, I can totally relate to what you have said and am in the same situation. I, too am compassionate, sensitive and have a soft heart. I, therefore, no longer see the person who has repeatedly hurt me - and I am much better for it (and my family!). Good luck!
My greatest challenge has been to forgive my daughter's husband for leaving her to die. He confessed after her death and left us all in utter confusion and anguish.
Forgiveness comes so slowly, for I also believe in justice for my daughter. I look forward to that day when total forgiveness will bring us peace.
There is no denying the fact that forgiveness lightens the heart and mind. Being able to forgive someone calls for a lot of humility and a sense of surrender to what is.
Wonder if forgiveness can be cultivated or is it inbuilt. If it can be cultivated, can it be genuine?
Forgiving is not easy when you are hurting, and yet forgive we must. For a time when in a grief situation we look for someone to blame. I agree to forgive makes for a lighter feeling inside our being. When we give out negative thoughts (sometimes hate) it turns within and festers not allowing the healing process, when we can finally forgive (not forget) then the same process happens, we begin to heal. Look within and be truthful. We do not know each others journey in life. My Motto is "If I cannot solve or change anything, then I need to change. Unfortunatly we can not always change others. Go in Peace and Love friends.
Agree but what do we do in the case of somebody who hurt us repeatedly not matter how much we try to comunicate or explain our feelings? My reaction after much trying to build a good relationship is to give up, if possible not seeing the person ever again, if not, I become colder and detached, which is not me. Is this not forgiving? is so what do I do?
Forgiving someone will make you feel lighter.. To feel good about that person is really difficult but by forgiving and not thinking about him/her will definitely make you feel good.. Actually you are earning double rewards i.e. first suffering and then not taking revenge but forgiving.. The most satisfying gift for your sacrifice would be when the person would change or even feel sorry because of your forgiving him/her..
To forgive is very difficult. But once you let go of the negative emotion, life suddenly becomes lighter and happier.
Forgiveness I have heard the word a million times. But how many people can truly forgive someone? Its more then saying the word. I think the action of non resistance better describes what a person has to do. Because if you don't resist what ever happens to you at any moment then there is nothing to forgive. I feel a lot of people use the word forgiveness but in their hearts still hold resentment
Say the "Our Father" prayer. Happy Easter to you! I totally love your blogs.
Hello, First of all forgiveness plays a big part in life because how can it possilbly go on. if you dont forgive anybody forn whatever they have done then how can they learn from the mistakes that they have made. Forgiveness equals lesson learned in life depending on the situation
How true!! And even if the other person is not willing to forgive us when we need it, I still believe that healing through forgiveness is available to us from other sources as well...such as forgiving ourselves, receiving God's forgiveness, etc.

Kuakini is special to Janelle Hubbard for a number of reasons – this is where she got her first job after college and this is where she met her husband, Jim.
"I've been here at Kuakini so long, I think I could drive here in my sleep. I am very comfortable here and am surrounded by a great bunch of people," she said.
Janelle joined Kuakini in 1984 right after she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology. She started as a temporary Medical Technologist and soon became a permanent full-time employee.
Janelle's job as a Medical Technologist is challenging and highly analytical. Her work includes cross-matching blood for transfusions. "When a patient needs blood products, I make sure that they are compatible with the patient's blood so there are no adverse reactions," she said.
The biggest challenge is when patients have antibodies, said Janelle. Antibodies are formed when a patient receives blood cells with traits (antigens) that do not match their own. This can cause a transfusion reaction. To prevent a reaction, it is crucial to identify the antibodies in the person receiving blood and find donor units which lack the antigens to which antibodies have formed.
"Janelle Hubbard is very dedicated to her Blood Bank duties," said nominator Dianne Downie, Kuakini's Blood Bank Senior Medical Technologist. "In addition to the routine Blood Bank testing that she performs daily, she loves to be able to apply her skills and knowledge (which are exceptional!) to solve the more complex crossmatch testing problems that occur with some patients."
"I like the challenge, I love figuring out the puzzle and identifying the antibodies," Janelle said.
According to Dianne, Janelle also assists the Laboratory Manager by reconciling Laboratory and Pathology charges, following up on reports, reviewing and providing information for accounts, and helping to build new laboratory tests.
When she found out that she was the Employee of the Month, Janelle said she was "shocked and embarrassed." "I don't know if I deserve it. I am just doing my job. I didn't expect this at all," she said. Dianne describes her as "always conducting herself in a cheerful, professional manner and well-liked by her co-workers."
When not at work in the lab, Janelle enjoys listening to her husband's music. She is an avid supporter of the four-member "The Jim Hubbard Band." She also enjoys relaxing in front of the TV, playing computer games and just having good family time with her husband and their two sons in the evening.

Is this bat appropriate for a 10u player? I know it says Junior but not sure what that means.
The Easton XL3 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB14X3) will be created for coach pitch leagues. If your boy is in kid pitch, look for the Senior League bats. These all will be Youth Big Barrel and be more designed to hold up and last versus kid pitching.
My son uses an Easton 28" 18 oz. 2 1/4" barrel. What is a good big barrel for him, size and weight? He hit 5 home runs with his bat.
If he liked the feel of the older XL3 bat model, Easton just released a new one. The 2015 Easton XL3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15X39) will have a big barrel and be a great choice. It will have a barrel diameter of 2 5/8". Also, this model is a -9. Here is a link for you to see all of the rest of Easton's big barrel bats in his sizing: http://www.justbats.com/products/baseball%20bats~youth%20big%20barrel/vendor~easton/?sortBy=TotalSales%20Descending&size=24
We currently own the 2014 Easton XL3 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat JBB14X3. We need to move up from the 28" 18 oz version of this bat. What do you recommend? We would like to go to a 29" 19 oz, if possible in Easton.
I would suggest looking into the 2014 Easton S3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14S310B) and the 2015 Easton S3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15S310B). Both bats will have a one piece alloy structure, a balanced swing weight, and a 2 3/4" barrel diameter similar to your 2014 Easton XL3 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB14X3). Also, they are both available in a 29" 19 oz. model.
Product Description
Easton believes that every player should have the opportunity to hit for power, no matter what age or skill level. That's why they've brought back their groundbreaking Power Brigade line of bats for a third season. The concept behind the Power Brigade is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series and the Speed Series. This junior big barrel bat is part of the XL Series and focuses on building power by increasing the mass behind each swing. This is accomplished by creating a bat with a slightly heavier length to weight ratio, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot. This one-piece design is made from Easton's game-changing THT100 Scandium Alloy for unrivaled durability and an expanded sweet spot. If you want to generate more power with every swing, it's time to join the POWER BRIGADE! The XL3 junior big barrel bat is recommended for use by players ages 8 and under. Easton: Engineered for Glory! The XL3 features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 12 Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Hello IMPBA CD's,
I am getting things lined up so that I can start adding races to the events calendar on the IMPBA web site. I entered the first one last night for the Winter Nats. The system works pretty well
It got me thinking that a lot of clubs would like to be able to submit their layout the way they want it. Plus I would not have to type all of them in, eliminating a bunch of typos and at the speed I type actually getting things done before the racing season is over with.
So here is what I want to do.
You or someone in your club send me the race information in a MS Word document and if that is not available they can send it to me in a email. Different fonts can be used, I just wouldn't go too crazy with funky fonts. Different colors are ok. So are logos.
Include times, dates, classes, reg info, prizes, lodging info, contact info. All the usual race stuff and anything else you want them to know.
If you would like to have a web link to your clubs site send that along.
Also make sure the address to the race site is in there. We are going to set the page up so people can click a button and the race site will come up for them in one of the mapping web sites.
Once I have the info and John Equi tells me the race sanction is approved I can get it in to the calendar and everyone will have access to it.
Send the info to
Thanks for your help,
-Bob Nauss

IMPBA Website Update
First off thanks to the first few CD's who sent in race flyers. We have been able to find out some things that do and do not work posting race flyer information.
First the things that do work:
MS Word docs are by far working out the best. Bill Kozuck with the Southern Tier club race flyer came out looking really nice on the calendar. You can see Southern Tier race flyers on any month between May and October.
PDF Files are working. Unfortunately they just are not as nice looking on the web page as they are when I copy them from the PDF. They lose some of the formatting. If that is what you have we will make it work. It just won't look as nice on the web page as the printed page.
The site mapping software is working very nicely. I put in the address and we have Google Maps to the race site.
Now the thing that do not work:
Graphics are not being copied over. Club logos and other graphics will not copy.
Colons ":" just do not work. The software behind the web page hates them.
So sent in your Race/Record Trial Flyer Info and we can get it on the Event Calendar once the sanction is approved.
The administrator has disabled public write access.

Phoronix: Btrfs In Linux 3.10 Gets Skinny Extents, Quota Rebuilds
The Btrfs file-system pull request by Chris Wilson has been submitted for inclusion into the Linux 3.10 kernel...
I've been hearing about BTRFS for years, but it seems it is not fully stable, yet they throw new features with each kernel version... am I missing something ?
the only problem i have ever hit is when i moved added a second drive to an existing btrfs filesystem, and re-striped it to be raid1. I forgot (and the tools did not tell me) to make the metadata raid1 (it was still DUP). when I tried to replace one of the drives (due to SMART errors) there was not a full copy of the metadata on the second drive. I had to put the failing drive back in, re-stripe the metadata and then replace the disk. all went fine and no data was lost. but it would be nice if the tools made sure your metadata was at least as redundant as the data.
So would a btrfs filesystem with LZO compression and LVM encryption be reliable?

My family is always happy to eat a hot sandwhich for dinner. And the Croque Monsieur (pronounced "crock mohn-shure" ... well sort of) is a delicious, warm, stick-to-your-ribs meal that you eat with a knife and fork!
This version saves you a bit of time by pan-toasting the sandwiches instead of using the oven. And we saved ourselves even more work by hitting our grocery store's bakery for the French bread, and the deli for some thin-sliced ham and swiss. Here's what you'll need!
Quick Croque Monsieur
For each sandwich:
2 slices french bread
2 slices swiss cheese
4 or 5 slices of thin ham
1 t butter
Dijon mustard
Quick Cheese Bechamel Sauce
(This makes enough for two sandwiches. Double recipe for four sandwiches.)
1 T Butter
1 heaping T flour
1 cup milk (skim not recommended)
scant 1/4 c. parmesan OR guyere
1/4 t salt
a pinch each of pepper and nutmeg
First, make the sauce. You'll want to practice "mise en place" cooking - a French term for "everything in place" - when you make a bechamel, because although this is a super easy recipe, the process can go pretty quickly. So get your cup of milk poured, your tablespoon of flour ready, and your nutmeg, salt and pepper in a dish.
In a small saucepan, heat one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. When it's melted and starting to get foamy, sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk. Continue whisking the mixture until it becomes golden brown. Don't leave the pan and don't stop whisking! It can burn quickly.
While you whisk, drizzle in the cup of milk. Whisk VERY fast, like your life depends on it! This will keep the flour from clumping. Put in the nutmeg, salt and pepper.
No one said you could quit whisking yet! Once the liquid is hot, stir in the cheese. Bring this sauce just barely to a boil, never stopping whisking (or the bottom will burn.) Once it has thickened (this whole process of making the sauce usually takes five minutes), remove from the heat and set aside.
Assemble your sandwiches next. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
In a pan on medium heat, place a slice of bread buttered side down, layer with two slices of swiss and then the ham. On the non-buttered side of the remaining bread, spread with dijon mustard. Place it on the top of your pile, and cover the sandwich(es).
After a minute or when the first side is golden brown, turn the sandwich over and cover again to help the cheese melt.
When your sandwich is golden brown and the filling is hot, remove from pan. Give the sauce a quick whisk and pour over each. In the classic recipe, the sandwiches would be placed under a broiler so that the sauce turns golden brown on top. If you have the time, go for it! But we can never wait.
Serve with something French - such as "haricots verts" (green beans) ... or maybe ... French Fries?
Let us know if you try this recipe, and what you think of it, or any alterations/variations you did. Leave comments below!
~A. Snyder, Keystone Kitchen Staff

Pets, especially dogs, make any travel by rv so very much better.

Panang Kung (Panang Prawn Curry)
Thai curries are quick, easy and super tasty. At their core is coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce and sugar. You just need to add some meat and vegetables. This time I went with shrimp fort the meat and some red pepper and peas that I had on hand. Panang curry paste is similar to a red Thai curry with the addition of peanuts so feel free to add a spoonful of peanut butter to the sauce for even more peanuty goodness. I served the panang curry on a bed of coconut jasmine rice which helped to soak up all of the extra curry sauce.
Panang Kung (Prawn Panang Curry)(makes 4 servings)
Printable Recipe
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/4 cup panang curry paste
1 14 ounce can coconut milk
1 lime (juice)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoons palm sugar (grated, or white or brown sugar)
1 pound shrimp (peeled and deviened)
1 red pepper (sliced)
1 handful peas (blanched)
1 handful cilantro
1 birds eye chili (thinly sliced)
1 handful peanuts (roasted and chopped)
1. Heat the oil in a sauce pan.
2. Add the panang curry paste and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
3. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and simmer for 15-20 minutes to thicken.
4. Add the shrimp and red pepper and simmer until the shrimp is cooked, about 5 minutes.
5. Serve garnished with peas, cilantro, chilies and peanuts.

I never, ever, ever want to be a teenager again. This is absolute. It's painful enough watching my kids going through it now. Sometimes, however, I do miss certain things. We were "free-range" back then. Our mother wouldn't have bothered with a GPS tracker, "outside" was the only destination. She didn't care to know where we really went, as long as we went out.
I don't miss the hard wired phones, or the pre-ATM world where your whole weekend could be ruined if you failed to get to the bank before closing. I really don't miss the bell bottoms, or looking good in bikinis, or those heinous Earth shoes.
One thing I do miss, however, were my pre-motherhood feet. Do you know what happens to your feet when you are pregnant? Your body makes a hormone called "Relaxin" that makes your muscles, joints and ligaments loosen up. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't walk barefoot on the beach while pregnant. It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Healthy and serene as I strolled mile after mile. That was on my days off. At work I was on my feet and walking most of the day. Sooo…after 4 kids, and countless miles of walking while that chemical was loosening up my pins, I've lost the feet of my youth. I never had Cinderella pins, mind, but still…at least I had decent arches! I've had to move away from those 8-1/2 narrows (that I thought were massive at the time). So, I'll just say it….I have huge, flat feet. They've gained a full size, lost there arch and are now well into the "average" width. Now I'm shopping at that other end of the shoe aisle…the one which is mostly frequented by majestic giantesses, Fiona (Mrs. Shrek) and transvestites.
I miss pretty shoes. They still sell them, and I still buy them, but it doesn't feel the same wearing them on ogre feet. Now Syd, who still fluctuates between tomboy and princess, has been getting into shoes. She has nice medium sized feet. The girls at the mani-pedi salon never whisper in their home language when they see her feet in the tub. She just bought a pair of basic pumps, and pimped them out in comic books. I'm so jealous. These are so cute, and cool, and fun. And my feet are not. I really miss having my young feet. Maybe, just maybe, she'll pimp me some clogs. Do you hear me, Syd???Do you, Syd???

According to Sports Business Journal's John Ourand, the league is shopping the Thursday night broadcasts, which could be shared with NFL Network. Potential target partners include the league's current TV partners as well as other cable television networks.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported that the NFL is seeking approximately $800 million for the Thursday package, and that bidders include FOX, Turner and possibly NBC Sports Network.
In October, the NFL denied a Wall Street Journal report that it was considering adding Thursday doubleheaders into the schedule. The league currently has 13 games on Thursday nights during the regular season, and the Wall Street Journal reported that the ratings for the games on NFL Network were disappointing.
The idea of adding Thursday games drew opposition from a number of players, including San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin.
"If you're so concerned about player safety, then why do you have every team in the league playing on Thursday night when they just competed on a Sunday, knowing how difficult it is for guys to get back to being healthy after playing on Sunday?" Boldin said in October.

Give your Evisu's a warm soak for 2 hours (don't agitate them), and you shouldn't lose that much indigo.

Wow, you guys don't play around in here when it comes to jeans. I might try some of these tips. I hate that I have to re break-in my jeans every time I wash them.

Thanks for stopping by on the Festival of Half Square Triangles blog tour!
Do you want to make a pillow like this one? It's a biggie - it ends up at 24"square, so it's perfect for a big snuggly bed pillow or for lounging on the couch.
I think the 4 arm like shapes look like scythes, so that's what I'm calling this pillow.
The Scythe Pillow (how's that for imagination?)
Will you make one with me? You will? Oh great!
Well, let's go...
You will need;
2 different F8s* of prints (*fat eighths)
1/2 yard of solid for background and borders (you will have leftovers)
FQ print for binding
1/2 yard fabric for envelope back
fusible fleece or wadding at least 26" square
pack of 3" thangles
Finished pillow - 24" square
things to remember
- use a 1/4" seam throughout unless otherwise mentioned
- measure twice, cut once!
- read through the directions before you start to make sure you understand what's going on
I used thangles for the first time ever in this project. I've had a whole heap lying around for the longest time and I figured if not now when would there be a great time to try them out?
They are pre-printed papers that you sew onto strips of fabric, cut and end up with half square triangle units, with the dog ear bits already removed. Cool, huh?
First up cut each of your F8s into 8 3.5" x 9.5" strips and cut your background fabric into 16 3.5" x 9.5" strips. Layer the strips with the lightest colour fabric on top - right sides together. Pin your thangle paper to the strip sandwich and sew on the dotted lines USING A SHORTER STITCH THAN USUAL. (note - my printed fabric is poking out from the ends of the paper because I was lazy and didn't cut it short enough - ignore that, yours will look neater)
You need to sew 8 strip sets for each print (16 HST units for each print - 32 HST units total)
Cut on the solid lines between the thangle units, on the diagonal lines, and also any overhang you have at the top and bottom of your strips (basically - wherever you see a solid line)
Press open, trim the one little dog ear that is left on one end and tear away the papers.
tear tear tear....
Cut 4 3.5" squares from background fabric and lay out your block as below (please 'scuse the weird wonky photo, I had possibly been drinking a sneaky gin or 3 when I took that!)...
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET YOUR STITCH LENGTH BACK TO NORMAL! Sew those rows together, pressing your seams open to reduce bulk. Give it all a really good press. I like to use a bit of spray starch.
From your background fabric cut 2 strips 3" x 18" and sew to the top and bottom of your pillow top. Press seams out towards the edges. Cut another 2 strips, 3" x 24" and sew to the left and right side of your pillow top. Press seams out towards the edge again and trim off any overhang.
Layer your pillow top, right side up, to fusible fleece and press well to set with a hot iron, or baste onto regular batting with pins. Whenever I make small projects like pillows I use vilene H630 fusible fleece (or pellon 987F). It is fusible on one side, which, when you press with an iron, becomes set. I love the way it makes quilting so much easier as there's no battling with pins, and really does make the finished pillow or mini quilt look flatter and helps me avoid wrinkles and bumps. I don't line my pillows either, I find the fusible fleece works really well and I haven't had any issues with pillows that have been washed and dried and the fleece going all bobbly or anything. There are 2 cats in my house and they shed fur all over, so my quilts and pillows get washed often!
I quilted my pillow with regularly spaced straight lines, about 1" apart, using a medium grey aurifil thread in 50 weight. This thread works really well for me, as the stitches become almost invisible and you just get the texture of the quilting.
Once you've quilted your pillow top you need to make it into a pillow by adding a back of your choice. I made mine with an envelope back, because zippers are scary and I am a big girly wuss.
Want to know a really cheaty cheaty way of doing your envelope back? Here it is. I use the selvedge edges of my fabric instead of hemming it. I LOVE how it looks, and it's fast. Sometimes selvedges are the best bit of fabric, all those cute little dots on them. For this pillow I used some home dec weight fabric by Anna Maria Horner. The weight is a little heavier, so it gives slightly better support than just using regular quilting cotton. My husband doesn't like the look of selvage edges, but I ignore everything he says unless it's along the lines of 'would you like my bank card to buy yourself a whole pile of fabric'.
Cut your fabric into 2 pieces - each measuring the width of your pillow top (approx 24" - but measure yours to make sure because it might have shrunk a little with quilting) x 15" and layer it wrong sides together on the back of the pillow top. Make sure the overlap is nice and straight and pin all the way round. Take to the sewing machine and stitch all the way round, backstitching where the 2 pieces overlap to add a little strength.
I like to do this step with a zig zag stitch for added strength, but a regular straight stitch is fine too.
Now to finish you need bind your pillow. You can find binding instructions in the tutorials section at the top of my blog if you need help.
And that's it - your pillow is all finished. Stuff it with a 24" pillow form so it's nice and fat and admire your handiwork.
You rock!
Fabrics used-
Denyse Schmidt, flea market fancy - fizzy dots in pink and medallion in green

Relevant quotes in a recently settled sex abuse lawsuit against a scoutmaster convicted of molesting four boys in his troop.
From the victim's attorney:
"This courageous survivor and others like him are hopeful that the Boy Scouts of America have done and will do, a better job warning, informing, and telling the truth about the known hazard in scouting, namely that sexual predators are drawn to scouting," attorney Jeff Anderson said.
From North Star Council
"Child abuse is intolerable. We are deeply saddened by this case and work continually to ensure that this never happens within the Scouting program."
Today Scouting is one of the safest places for children in our community," the statement said. "We are constantly strengthening our systems and safeguards to keep it that way."
Lest we forget.Last edited by RememberSchiff; 05-06-2014, 05:42 AM.
I have observed a similar situation in my extended family for many years. A 19 year old "man", molested his little six year old cousin.
This occurred at a family reunion, the kind of situation with many people around which many reasonable people would consider public and safe. He still found a way to trick this little girl into going into a bathroom with him alone. The actual molestation was very brief, but it follows her today.
Now, 13 years later, this has caused a huge rift in the family between those who insist forgiveness = trust and those who are more realistically cautious of him. I have been berated myself for not trusting this person around my own little daughter.
I have seen this precious girl, who did nothing wrong, unable to attend most family Christmases and events because she is quite reasonably unable to be in the room with him. Please put yourself in the shoes of a molestation victim. How would you feel in a room full of people laughing and treating this person like he did nothing wrong. I was treated this way myself in high school after an attempted rape that landed me in the hospital, so I can identify with the heart pounding panic that goes with being around someone who hurt you this way.
There is a very good reason why so many people regard child abusers and rapists as irretrievable: they are. Sexual abuse, especially of children, has a very high rate of recidivism. The facts support the feeling that these people can never be trusted around children again.
I have a raw nerve about people who demand trust of abusers. In almost every case, they are not putting themselves in harm's way. I'm tired of listening to the overbearing old lady in my own family demanding that I trust a known molester with my daughter just because he's a relative, and that by refusing to take my eyes off my child at family events that I'm not really a Christian. That's spiritual abuse. Holier than thou old lady isn't risking her own safety to prove what a great testament to Christian forgiveness she is, she's putting my 1st grader in harm's way. I have very little patience for people who use kids and risk their safety to show off their holiness.
As a mom, I owe my child protection. I can't defend her against the many dangers I don't know about, but I sure as hell can defend her against those I do know about, and there's not excuse for me not to. I give my little child the benefit of the doubt that she needs protection, not the "man" who shows no evidence of rehabilitation.
If the molester doesn't like being under suspicion for the rest of his miserable life, he can pound sand. No one held a gun to his head to make him assault a little girl. He didn't steal medicine or food out of necessity. There is no reason to feel any sympathy for a molester. There are no extenuating circumstances for this kind of crime.
I can't rely on the wife of an abuser for accurate feedback on his rehabilitation. Spouses of abusers are frequently abused themselves, and will often lie, deny, and justify just about any behavior from their abusive spouse.
My sympathy is with the child who was raped, who deserves to be in society without fear or contact with this person. My sympathy is also with those children who might be assaulted in the future. A child abuser cannot be trusted around kids. It shows incredibly poor judgment for this person to attend a Scouting event.
Legally, I think the venue would have every right to ask him to leave. As a parent, I hope they would do so.

BSA's problems with sexual predators are largely attributable to people looking the other way. I think erring on the side of caution and keeping convicted pedophiles away from kids would be the safe way to handle things. I would guess if people at the fundraiser knew the truth that a pedophile was in their midst and leadership wasn't going to do anything about it, many would have left.
You have to wonder what's best for the future of scouting. BSA needs to fix its image, and having pedophiles around is not that way to do it. Stories like this are going to send parents running for the exits--that's a fact.
Reading the back-and-forth between JBlake47 and Merlyn_LeRoy, I can't help but think of this scene from The Big Lebowski:
I still think it would have been more reasonable for Mr. Dundas to write a check and send it to the Troop rather than show up for the event.
What you and I think is reasonable is not part of the issue. Mr. Dundas is a free man who can do whatever the law allows him to do. I may not like it, but I'll defend whatever freedoms he's entitled to by law. And not knowing what state law says where he is (it varies from state to state) "reasonable" may be a word that is no longer part of his vocabulary. Knowing what I know about his world, I just thought it was nice he and his wife were supporting the program. Period.
I also think Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, and Kind, mean a lot to me, That's 1/3rd of the Scout Law, I don't think should be set aside to accommodate one's biases.
What you and I think is reasonable is not part of the issue. Mr. Dundas is a free man who can do whatever the law allows him to do. I may not like it, but I'll defend whatever freedoms he's entitled to by law.
Hi! I know Dundas! I was a scout in the Troop during the time of the molestations, and I watched him go to prison, and I watch the entire troop fall apart because of what this disgusting man did. I AM SURPRISED THERE IS EVEN AN ARGUMENT HERE! HE HAD SEX with children in the Boy Scouts. And he also was generally a pervert around children, I know, I was there. I was horrified when I found out he was at the fundraiser. No argument. That man may have done his time but he has no business being there. I would have kicked him out for sure. Disgusting!
So you hold a pancake breakfast open to the public, Are you going to screen every person through the door? you can't
Our troop deals with sex offenders every time we work the food bank. Safety Safety Safety, Buddy system always and they all know they are not to have contact with any of the folks out side of scouting.
Does it worry me? No more so than their trip to school every morning past the 3 sex offenders that live in our neighborhood.
The only thing we can do is make our children aware and teach them to react when it happens and recognize what is going on before it happens.
Bottom line for me, in the OP was. A troop member called the news outlet, bad move and poor taste. The Wife showed poor judgement bringing him to the event. Not sure what the predator was thinking, but again poor judgement.
I am gonna bet a million bucks that if you sell christmas trees, spagetti, popcorn or candy bars you have sold to a sexual predator or child molester.

Kuakini places great importance on patient care and patient safety. Proper training of staff, patients and their families; the acquisition of the latest medical equipment and technology; development of new medical procedures for diagnostic and treatment; and heightened campus and facilities security are major ways that Kuakini focuses on the safety and comfort of its patients. A critical component for ensuring patient quality is maintaining a safe environment for all patients. Kuakini maintains an organization-wide Patient Safety Program and all employees are responsible to create a safe environment for its patients and residents.
The Patient Safety Program is designed to improve patient safety and reduce risks to patients and residents through effective medical/health care error reduction processes and an environment that supports the identification and reduction of risks to patients and residents. Kuakini has an internal response system that focuses on timely reporting and the initiation of actions to reduce risks to patients, residents and other customers.
Kuakini also follows regulations mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) that governs privacy, security, and electronic transaction standards for health care information.
The safety of health care delivery is enhanced by the involvement of the patients, residents, and in certain cases the patient's/resident's family, as partners in the health care process. Kuakini's caregivers clearly identify for patients/residents and families what their responsibilities are and educate them accordingly. Specific attention is directed at educating patients/residents and families about their role in helping facilitate the safe delivery of care. Patients and their families are encouraged to ask questions in order to fully understand the procedures and outcomes of the services they will receive.

Earlier this year, Leonardo DiCaprio told press during his tour for Django Unchained that after a busy 2013 — which includes this week's The Great Gatsby and this Martin Scorsese's Nov. 15 release The Wolf of Wall Street— he was looking forward to taking a break from the acting scene. Seems fair for an actor who has managed three Oscar nominations and a position at the top of the A-lister ladder at the ripe, young age of 38.
Gatsby marks another incredible performance from DiCaprio, a subversion of his natural good looks that turned him into a heartthrob in his in early days (would Tiger Beat have survived the '90s without the Growing Pains star?). Unlike a Hollywood titan like Brad Pitt, whose preferences draw him to "character actor" parts that require a chameleon's touch, DiCaprio is the rare performer who can deliver natural drama without simply playing himself over and over again. His roles don't need big twists or exaggerations, just an added layer for DiCaprio to unearth over the course of the film.
Hollywood honored DiCaprio when he was only 20 years old, for his work as the mentally challenged Arnie in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He's fully immersed, but the part has the most to hide behind. He's more vibrant when a role demands nuance. Think 1996's Romeo + Juliet, DiCaprio's previous collaboration with Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann, his downward spiraling character in Danny Boyle's The Beach, a cop holding back secrets in Scorsese's The Departed or a slowly unraveling suburbanite in Revolutionary Road. He's even found a way to challenge himself amidst blockbuster-sized action: wavering confidence is at the heart of DiCaprio's work in Christopher Nolan's Inception and if you write off Titanic as pure Hollywood schmaltz, you're too busy rolling your eyes when you should be taking in the glow of its leading man.
That's not to say DiCaprio is incapable of the extravagant. Gatsby sees the actor dabble with moments of physical comedy; the period settings of The Man in the Iron Mask and Gangs of New York open the door for broader characters; and his Oscar-nominated work as the eccentric Howard Hughes in The Aviator and the diabolical slave owner Calvin Candie in Django Unchained see DiCaprio erupt out of his shell.
For me, the all-encompassing DiCaprio role is that of Frank Abagnale Jr. in Catch Me If You Can. Growing up with the con-artist over the course of Steven Spielberg's zippy drama is like witnessing every milestone in DiCaprio's career. He starts young and naive, makes a discovery that challenges him to develop characters and improvise on his toes, then unravels to become a madman. When Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) finds Abagnale towards the end of the film, DiCaprio sports straggly hair and oppressive paranoia. It's a dark side that DiCaprio rarely shows, but we know he's capable of.
