Irish Pride on the Fourth of July
by Áine Ní Shionnaigh
Growing up in the West of Ireland, my exposure to the Fourth of July was limited to two iconic movies. As a young child, I remember watching the black and white grainy version of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" where the main star, George M. Cohan, was born on the Fourth of July, a fact which heightened the expectations about his destiny. This movie could not have contrasted more with Oliver Stone's "Born on the Fourth of July" where as a young adult, I was deeply struck by the contrast between the idea of war and the reality of war. The atmosphere at the Fourth of July parade before Kovic (Tom Cruise) joins the Marines coldly conflicts with the horrific conditions that Kovic finds himself in at the Veterans hospital where he is admitted on his return from Vietnam as a paralyzed veteran. There is a dramatic sense of despair, disillusionment and disappointment. The experience of actually becoming a hero is a serious let-down. Some of the content of this movie became a reality for me this year when I became involved with some veteran organizations to discuss traumatic brain injury issues in conjunction with the Sarah Jane Brain Foundation.
Nine years ago, when I moved to New York City from the West of Ireland, one of the biggest observations I continually made was the sense of patriotism in this great country. I am gradually coming to understand and still learning about the intensity of the relationship between the U.S. and its military. America's military history is at the core of the formation of the American Republic as we know it today.
The independence celebrated on this July 4th weekend was fought for by many who paid the ultimate price so that Americans could enjoy all the privileges and freedom that come with it. We also celebrate the Irish who fought so valiantly with General George Washington to win the War of Independence. When the American Revolution broke out, both Scotch Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics could be found in every contingent of Washington's army. According to James O'Boyle's "Life of George Washington," one of the most daring group of soldiers during the Revolutionary War were the Green Mountain Boys, led by, among others, two Irishmen named Marion and Pickens. Men lie these later became the pioneers who would venture outside the range of the original 13 colonies and head west. The Scotch Irish from Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania were particularly prominent in the ranks of those Americans who took on and ultimately prevailed against the British. They had grown to love the country they had left, the northern parts of Ireland, and it was an affection that would see them bear arms in a bid to gain independence in their new adopted land. Their efforts did not go unnoticed. When things weren't looking good for General Washington, he came out with a gem of a quote that showed the pride and trust he had in these sturdy men. "If defeated everywhere else, I will make my stand for liberty, among the Scots-Irish in my native Virginia." But defeat was not something they had to worry about, and Washington would lead his army to victory and becomes the country's first president.
In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies had weighed a resolution that would declare their independence from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of Independence, and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. One of the signatories was an Irish Catholic whose grandfather was born in Aghtery, a townland in County Offaly, interestingly the same county President Barack Obama traced his Irish roots to and visited in 2011.
Charles Carroll (September 19, 1737 – November 14, 1832), known as Charles Carroll of Carrollton to distinguish him from his similarly named relatives, was a wealthy Maryland planter and an early advocate of independence from Great Britain. He served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and Confederation Congress and later as first United States Senator for Maryland. He was the only Catholic and the longest-lived (and last surviving) signatory of the Declaration of Independence. He died at the age of 95 at his city mansion in the neighborhood of Jonestown in Baltimore.
Carroll was not initially interested in politics and in any event Catholics had been barred from holding office in Maryland. But as the dispute between Great Britain and the colonies intensified, Carroll became a powerful voice for independence. He wrote in the Maryland Gazette under a pseudonym. He became a prominent spokesman against the governor's proclamation increasing legal fees to state officers and Protestant clergy. Eventually, word spread of the true identity of the columnist and Carroll's fame and notoriety began to grow. He became a leading opponent of British rule, and served on various committees of correspondence. He also played an important role in the burning in Annapolis harbor of the "Peggy Stewart," a ship which had been carrying tea to Maryland, and was destroyed on October 19, 1774 as part of the tea party protests.
Charles Carroll was elected to the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and remained a delegate until 1778. He signed the official document that survives today.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt once noted something that I think speaks of the Irish contribution to the kind of loud and colorful celebration that marks the fourth day of the seventh month.
He told James Cagney: "That's one thing I've always admired about you Irish Americans, you carry your love of country like a flag, right out in the open. It's a great quality."
I also greatly admire the love of country that every American possesses.
I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July.
Sgt Cory Remsburg and Aine at iHope
by Áine Ní Shionnaigh
Patrick Donohue is a prominent Irish American lawyer who left his career as a lawyer to change the world for his daughter Sarah Jane, my daughter Grace Anne and countless others in the US and worldwide who have suffered a brain injury. Patrick is the perfect example of someone who has turned a tragedy into a triumph.
In 2007, Patrick set up the Sarah Jane Brain Foundation (SJBF) which is a 501c3 non for profit. The mission of the SJBF is to change the world for Sarah Jane and the millions of other children, youth and young adults who suffer from brain injury and other brain-based disorders by improving services, training and research in this country and beyond. Brain injury in youth can result in widespread impairments in cognition, motor abilities, behavior and social function. The brain remains in a developmental phase until around age 25 so recoveries are possible. However, recovery requires an integrated and individualized approach. There has to be a co-ordination between medical, educational and rehabilitation systems. SJBF's Advisory Board is comprised of leading experts from the top major medical centers in the US and elsewhere, from Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School, Mayo Clinic, Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital to name but a few.
In September 2013, SJBF launched the first and only school in New York City to educate and habilitate kids with brain injuries and other brain-based disorders – The International Academy of HOPE (iHOPE). The school currently has 19 students and will grow to 40 by summer 2014. The mission of iHOPE is to be the best school in the world for kids with brain injuries and brain based disorders and to translate it's knowledge across the country and around the world by establishing other iHOPE schools.
Pediatric brain injury statistics unfortunately include more than half of our young veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with traumatic brain injuries, the average age of a veteran with TBI is about 19.3 years old. Recently the Sarah Jane Brain Foundation and iHOPE honored Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg with the Col. Jack Jacobs Angel Award for his service to our country and for changing the way people think about brain injury. A roadside bomb in Kandahar, Afghanistan, on his 10th deployment, left Sgt Remsburg in a coma for three months, partially paralyzed and brain damaged. His father, Craig, a retired Air Force Reserve firefighter, and stepmother Annie, are his full time caretakers and accompanied him to the school where he lead the iHOPE students in the Pledge of Allegiance. When asked if he would return to war, knowing what he knows now, he replied, "in a heartbeat". Such bravery and patriotism is not easily found.
The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation recently held a Conference in conjunction with the NFL, the title was "Finding Solutions to the Public Health Crisis" "Mild"/TBI/Concussion in Youth. The main speaker was Dr Sanjay Gupta who is the Chief Medical Correspondent at CNN and also Associate Chief of Neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital. The conference was attended by top medical experts representing the top centers of excellence in Neurology and Sports Medicine from all over the US. The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation is working to prevent, identify, treat and eventually cure Pediatric Acquired Brain injuries which are the no 1 cause of death and disability for youth around the world so needs to be taken more seriously.
iHOPE school and it's associated Foundation, the SJBF has the chance to change the lives of children and young adults that everyone else has given up on. It gives back hope in situations where hope is diminished.
"Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul,
And sings the tune–without the words,
And never stops at all." (ED)

When Grace Anne found Hope
by Áine Ní Shionnaigh
Last week, I referred to a piece of prose "Welcome to Holland", which employs a metaphor of excitement for a vacation to Italy that becomes a disappointment when the plane lands instead in Holland. "Holland?!?"you say. "What do you mean Holland ?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."
On the 2nd of January 2006, I personally landed in "Holland" when my beautiful daughter, Grace Anne was born. After a beyond perfect pregnancy, in one of the top hospitals in the world, something went terribly wrong and nothing could ever have prepared me for what lay ahead. A few hours after the birth, I heard those dreaded words that no parent should ever have to hear, "I have some bad news for you, your daughter has suffered a severe brain injury. She is currently on life support and it is doubtful if she will make it past day two". In that instant, my life and the lives of many others changed forever.
The nightmare had begun, what should have been one of the happiest moments of my life, seeing my first born for the first time, became very dark, very quickly. When I saw my daughter she was unrecognizable, covered in a maze of invasive tubes, many taped to her cute little face. I couldn't hold her or touch her. She was in an induced coma to try to prevent any further damage. I wanted to take her out and run away from the nightmare in which I found myself living. Instead of bonding with my daughter, I was bombarded with medical terminologies, MRIs and CAT scans of my newborn's brain, where, as one doctor glibly put it "everything had been wiped out", there was no longer any differentiation between the grey and white matter. I was even dissuaded from pumping my breast milk, advice I ignored as I wasn't as ready to give up. Through endless meetings with doctors, specialists, a bereavement counsellor, a chaplain, the local funeral undertaker, I struggled so hard to find some small comfort in the idea that Grace Anne was an angel and would always be with me, something that no earthly person could ever be. She was christened on my birthday in the NICU and then the machine was turned off, a few tense moments passed and then Grace Anne revealed her 'West of Ireland' determination. She wasn't quite ready for heaven yet, when the humming of the ventilator subsided, she took her first breath on her own.
I was told a complex multiplicity of medical conditions that my daughter would have. Any single one of these issues would be catastrophic on their own, I was taking in tens if not hundreds of them. I met with many different specialists all dealing with different aspects of Grace Anne's condition. Any information was of course bad news. She left the hospital on Valentine's Day with a diagnosis of severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy, severe seizure disorder, severe digestive disorder, severely impacted muscle tone, legally blind, and a myriad more conditions all caused by the brain injury.
One of the most difficult challenges was how to respond to people's reactions, which is something I may write a book about someday, "What NOT to say to a parent of a child with special needs". I constantly heard comments such as "such a shame and she is so pretty, she could have been a model", " you are great, I could never cope with that", "God won't give you a cross you can't carry". I ached to rewind my life, to have a life that did not revolve around therapies and doctor appointments and trips to the ER in the middle of the night that ended up being week long hospitalizations. Being a first time parent is an exhausting, puzzling experience anyway under the best circumstances. Being the parent of a child with a disability extends the parameters beyond the place to which most people can relate. The tension created by this isolation exacerbates the all-consuming grief. I was tired beyond belief; there were no answers only endless suggestions, which although well-meaning, become almost painful to hear. The answering machine was always full and I hadn't the energy to listen to messages. In the beginning I needed to shut the world out to conserve what little energy I had left to look after my special child who also had severe gastric issues which meant she cried constantly all day long. The night was my only reprieve, to sleep and slip into silence. I badly needed extra help, extra kindness, extra compassion but I didn't know how to ask for it. I had learned to put on as I called it 'my suit of armor' to stifle my feelings of absolute grief, sorrow and despair. I was in mourning but I couldn't mourn the loss as Grace Anne had way more needs than a typical new baby.
Having Grace Anne changed the way I view my life. My priorities changed completely, what used to seem so important is so totally irrelevant now. Grace Anne has a great deal to offer the world. She has taught me the real meaning of unconditional love, happiness, perseverance and determination. Putting aside the medical issues, she is a cute red haired, blue eyed, freckle faced little girl who was born with a happy fighting spirit and seems tuned into a better quality frequency than the rest of us. If I ever take time to cry, she thinks I am laughing and she starts to giggle. I feel there is something deeper here, that she knows love and grief spring from the same well. Grief can wake us up and make us whole in a way we never were before. I almost feel I am a more complete person now than before.
Life did get better and the time came when I began to feel positive and energized again but only and I stress only, because I am lucky enough to live here in the US where it is recognized that the parent of a child with a disability needs professional help to assist them looking after that child. A situation with a child that needs 24hr care is overwhelming. Currently, with the help of my beyond amazing nurses: Diana, Imelda and Valerie, my life has become livable again, I can now see the light again at the end of the tunnel. I don't want my life or Grace Anne's life to be defined by her disability. Next week I will tell you all about Grace Anne's amazing school: iHOPE, the International Academy of Hope, www.ihopenyc.org, which has succeeded in giving hope again to Grace Anne and I. iHOPE has the chance to change the lives of children that everyone else has given up on. Its purpose is to give hope to special children and their families and that it does. Grace Anne and I would love you all to join us at iHOPE on Thursday, June 26th at lunchtime 12 – 2 where I will host a special Irish American luncheon to introduce iHOPE to the Irish American community. I hope to see some of you there. www.ihopenyc.org for details. To be continued next week…..
A Dad with a Difference
A Dad with a Difference
by Áine Ní Shionnaigh
"We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. (Victor Frankl, A Man's Search for Meaning). In my life experience so far, no one has epitomized this ability to turn a personal tragedy into a triumph, better than Patrick Donohue, Irish American, prominent lawyer, finance director, visionary, and Dad of Sarah Jane Donohue.
Patrick and I have something in common: we are both parents of children who suffered a brain injury and we are both 100% committed to helping them live the best lives that they possibly can.
In December 2006 when sending my annual Christmas letter to friends and family back in Ireland, I enclosed a poem as I felt it helped to explain the unexplainable. The poem was titled "Welcome to Holland", which was written by Emily Kingsley, about having a child with a disability. The essay employs a metaphor of excitement for a vacation to Italy that becomes a disappointment when the plane lands instead in Holland. "Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy." The metaphor is that the trip to Italy is a typical birth and child-raising experience, and that the trip to Holland is the experiencing of having and raising a child with special-needs. "But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy… and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned." In the end, however, the reader sees that the 'trip' is still well worth it: "But… if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things … about Holland."
Interestingly these are the same lines Patrick Donohue recently chose as the opening lines for the short documentary he made to introduce iHOPE, his pioneering new school for children with brain injuries. Nine years ago on June 5th, also Patrick's own Birthday, Sarah Jane Donohue was born at Manhattan's Lenox Hill hospital, a healthy, happy baby with stunning brown eyes framed by exotic dark thick lashes. All was well with the world, or so it seemed. Tragically, 5 days later when Sarah Jane was in the safety of her own home, with her parents sleeping in the next room, she was violently shaken by her baby nurse, causing serious injury: breaking both her collarbones, four ribs and causing a severe Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury – PABI. Doctors were shocked at the severity of her injuries. On that night, Sarah Jane's life and that of her family changed forever.
Gradually Patrick Donohue began a new career "changing the world for Sarah Jane". He began by setting up a nonprofit advocacy group, The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation in 2007. Then in 2009, he put together an advisory board that drew together 75 experts in the field of brain injury from all over the US and Canada. The mission is to create a model system of care for children and young adults suffering from all Pediatric Acquired Brain Injuries in order to advance our knowledge of the brain fifty years over the next five years. This past September, Patrick founded the first school in NYC for children who have suffered a brain injury, iHOPE, the International Academy of Hope, which is groundbreaking in it's treatment and approach to children with brain injuries. Sarah Jane attends this school as does my daughter, Grace Anne and it is changing their lives dramatically one day at the time. www.ihopenyc.org www.thebrainproject.org
When we face great challenges in our lives, we have two choices, we can lie down and let the challenge overcome us or we can decide to draw on an inner strength we didn't know we had and continue our lives, armed with the determination that we are not going to let this adversity define us.
As Joe Biden recently said at an Irish American event here in New York : "there is something uniquely Irish about maintaining hope in light of tragedy, that the Irish know "that to live is to be hurt, but we're still not afraid to live."
To be continued next week ……
"Ní mór dúinn dearmad a dhéanamh gur féidir linn brí a fháil sa saol, fiú nuair déileáil le staid gan dóchas, nuair atá os ár gcomhair cinniúint nach féidir a athrú. Chun an méid sin ábhair is finné a iompróidh an acmhainneacht uathúil daonna ag a fearr, a bhfuil a chlaochlú tragóid pearsanta i bua, dul amháin isteach éacht daonna. (Victor Frankl). I mo shaoil go dtí seo, níl aon duine eiseamláir seo cumas chun dul tragóid pearsanta i bua, níos fearr ná Patrick Donohue, Mheiriceánach Éireannach, dlíodóir feiceálach, stiúrthóir airgeadais, aislingeach, agus Daid do Sarah Jane Donohue.
Tá rud éigin i gcoitinne idir Patrick agus mise. Tá páistí speisialta ag an bheirt again, leanaí a d'fhulaing díobháil inchinne agus go bhfuilmuid araon 100% tiománta cabhrú leo cónaí ar an saol is fearr gur féidir leo.
I mí na Nollag 2006 nuair a sheol mé mo litir Nollag bliantúil chuig mo chairde agus mo chlann ar ais in Éirinn, sheol mé dán freisin mar cheap mé gur chabhraigh an dán a mhíniú an rud nach raibh míniú. B'é teideal an dán "Fáilte go dtí an Ollainn", a bhí scríofa ag Emily Kingsley, i dtaobh a leanbh faoi mhíchumas. Fostaíonn an aiste a meafar de cipíní le haghaidh saoire go dtí an Iodáil a thiocfaidh chun bheith ina díomá nuair a tailte an eitleáin ionad san Ísiltír. "Ollainn?!?" A deir tú. "Cad a dhéanann tú chiallaíonn Ollainn?? Shínigh mé suas don Iodáil! Tá mé ceaptha a bheith san Iodáil. Gach lá mo shaol a bhí mé ag tnúth le dul go dtí an Iodáil." Is é an meafar go bhfuil an turas go dtí an Iodáil breithe tipiciúil agus taithí tógála leanaí, agus go bhfuil an turas go dtí an Ollainn ag fulaingt bhfuil agus tógála leanaí a bhfuil riachtanais speisialta. "Ach tá gach duine a fhios agat gnóthach ag teacht agus ag dul ón Iodáil … agus tá siad ag caint faoin an am iontach a bhí acu ann. Agus don chuid eile de do shaol, beidh tú ag rá "Tá, go nuair a bhí ceaptha agam a dul. Sin an méid a bhí beartaithe agam." Sa deireadh, áfach, feictear an léitheoir go bhfuil an 'turas' fós fiú go maith é: "Ach … má chaitheann tú do shaol caoineadh ar an bhfíric nach raibh tú go dtí an Iodáil, ní féidir leat a bheith saor chun taitneamh a bhaint as na rudaí an-álainn an-speisialta … faoi Ollainn. "
Suimiúil b'iad na línte céanna a roghnaigh Patrick Donohue le déanaí mar na línte oscailt don chlár faisnéise gairid a rinne sé chun aird a tharraignt ar iHOPE, scoil nua ceannródaíoch do leanaí le gortuithe inchinne. Naoi mbliana ó shin ar 5 Meitheamh, freisin, lá breithe Phádraig féin, a rugadh Sarah Jane Donohue ag Lenox Cnoc ospidéal Manhattan, leanbh sláintiúil, sona, le súile donn doimhne, frámaithe le fabhraí coimhthíocha tiubh dorcha. Bhí gach rud go maith leis an domhan, nó mar sin a dhealraigh sé. Go tragóideach, cúig lá ina dhiaidh sin nuair a bhí Sarah Jane sábháilteacht sa bhaile féin, lena tuismitheoirí ina chodladh sa seomra eile, bhí sí chroitheadh foirtil ag a altra leanbh, is cúis le díobháil thromchúiseach: bhriseadh dá cuid cnámha múineáil, ceithre easnacha agus is cúis le dian Pediatric Gortú Inchinne Faighte – PABI. Bhí ionadh ar na dochtúirí ag an déine a díobhálacha. Ar an oíche sin, d'athraigh saol Sarah Jane agus saol a theaghlaigh go leor.
De réir a chéile thosaigh Patrick slí bheatha nua "ag athrú an domhain le haghaidh Sarah Jane". Thosaigh sé le grúpa abhcóideacht, An Sarah Jane Brain Foundation i 2007. Ansin i 2009, chuir sé le chéile Bord Comhairleach a tharraing le chéile 75 saineolaithe i réimse an díobháil inchinne ó gach cearn na Stáit Aontaithe agus Ceanada. Is é an misean a chruthú córas múnla cúraim do pháistí agus do dhaoine fásta óga atá ag fulaingt ó gach 'Acquired Brain Injury' in ord lenár n-eolas ar an inchinn a chur chun cinn caoga bliain thar na cúig bliana atá romhainn. An Meán Fómhair seo chaite, bunaíodh Patrick an chéad scoil i NYC do leanaí a d'fhulaing díobháil inchinne, iHOPE, an Acadamh Idirnáisiúnta an Dóchais, atá úrnua i sé cóireáil agus cur chuige maidir le leanaí le gortuithe inchinne. Sarah Jane Freastalaíonn Sarah Jane an scoil seo mar a fhreastalaíonn mo 'níon, Grace Anne agus tá athrú mór tagtha ar a saol cheana féin. www.ihopenyc.org , www.thebrainproject.org
Nuair a bhíonn dúshláin mór againn in ár saol, ní mór dúinn dhá rogha, is féidir linn a luí síos agus lig an dúshlán a shárú linn nó is féidir linn a chinneadh a tharraingt ar neart inmheánach nach raibh a fhios againn a bhí againn agus leanúint ar aghaidh lenár saol, armtha leis an gcinneadh nach bhfuil muid ag dul chun ligean seo angar shainmhíníonn.
Mar a dúirt Joe Biden le déanaí ag ócáid Meiriceánach Éireannach anseo i Nua-Eabhrac: "go bhfuil rud éigin uathúil an Ghaeilge faoi dhóchas a chothabháil i bhfianaise na tragóid, go bhfuil fhios ag na hÉireannaigh" is é sin le cónaí a bheith gortaithe, ach táimid fós nach bhfuil eagla a beo. "

Letter from Reader about NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade
Dear Editor,
The New York St. Patrick's Day Parade is billed as the longest and oldest parade in America, it pre-dates the signing of the Declaration of Independence by fourteen years. But, in recent weeks, the parade has been billed as an exclusive event that will not allow gay marchers. Those of us who actually do participate in the parade (personally I've marched for over 30 years) know that the allegations by the current Mayor and mainstream media just are not true. It's not a day for political statements or further division.
There is no ban on gays or anyone else in the NYC Parade.
There is a rich history for the NYC Parade that began fourteen years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The parade started Downtown with a group of Irish Militia walking a few blocks to a local Inn, and a tradition was born. To this day, the Fighting 69th lead the marchers up 5th Avenue which is a nod to the early beginnings of where the parade started. Over the years other St. Patrick's Day parades popped up in other cities around the world, but the NYC Parade continues to stand on its own, there are no floats, not costumes of cartoonish representation, no feel of carnival. It is a dignified parade meant to show your pride in where you come from. A day to remember the sacrifice our forefathers made in order for our society to prevail.
In addition to the schools, para-military, military and local AOH's that march, all 32 counties are represented by an organization and a banner, you don't have to be a member of these organizations to march. All they ask is that you follow the parade rules (http://nycstpatricksparade.org/parade-information.html) and show your Irish pride. No one cares or even asks your sexual orientation, because on March 17th, it doesn't matter, it's about being Irish or Irish American.
We as a society continue to find reasons to set ourselves apart from each other. What the parade committee is trying to achieve is a day where all that matters is that you are proud of where you come from, it's that simple.

Kitchen Remodel with White Appliances-HELP
Help, I am helping my sister work up a kitchen remodel, and she insiste on using white appliances. She has picked a medium brown for her cabinets. I am not of the White Appliance mind and really do not now where to go with this kitchen. Anybody got any ideas
White appliances compliment brown cabinets better than most alternatives. Stainless steel would make the area look industrial, black would be just flat ugly and red/blue/etc would look comical.
Countertops, back splash, and wall colors can compliment the white/brown plainness.
Maybe don't help your sister work up a remodel on her kitchen. Sounds like you already don't like her choices and for our home appliances are KEY in there for g'ness sake! I happen to like white appliances, they are timeless and easy to keep clean.
ok, thanks handymac and sasafras. She can have any color appliances she likes, I am just not sure what color cabinets she should be looking at, she first mentiond Cherry, then she kinda liked a glazed wood called Whiskey Black. Sasafras, what color cabinets do you have with your white appliances?
This very topic is being discussed on the Home Decor Forum.
Below is a link to many photos for both of you to look at.
And here is the link to the other thread: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/decor/msg0215394131737.html?27
If done correctly it looks beautiful.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchens
Thank you annz, I saw these pictures on the Finished Kitchen site. Some were helpful, She has been instructed by her husband, "No Painted Cabinets" so White Cabinets are out. So I am looking for the correct color natural wood finish that will complement the white appliances. Thanks again.
We have maple cabinets left in natural coloring, along with light oak hardwood flooring. The space is fairly small so the white appliances brighten it actually. The sink is white porcelain which pulls everything together. If your sister has a large space to work with I think cherry would be lovely!
Having the same problem. Our kitchen cabinets are a creamy white color. Just bought new appliances and opted for white - since I feel I would have been getting in on the tail end of the Stainless trend... But the white of the appliances is just so white - almost with that purple-ish undercast to it. So I'm going to have to paint my cabinets. Don't know whether I should opt for a color, or to do a faux wood thing. Has to be super economical...
I just painted my (1970s) oak kitchen cabinets a creamy white, and with the white appliances and my new black-with-white-flecks quartz countertop, it looks amazing! ...to me, anyway :-) I have a taupe colour on the wall, and cork on the floor, so the white isn't dominating.
In our old house we did a kitchen remodel with natural maple cabinets, neutral brown countertops, tile flooring and white appliances and green wall paint and I loved it. In our new house I got my dream white kitchen with stainless appliances.... I miss my old kitchen, I am bored of white already and want the wood look back and I do not like keeping up with the stainless appliances. I second white appliances.
My new cabinets are Knotty Alder with natural sealer. I have all white appliance but cannot pick a wall color. My kitchen/dining is all in with the living area. I am a 'light' person but feel like with the light cabinets and appliances light color would not look good.

$59 for a BYOB Cheese-Making Workshop for Two ($130 Value)
During 2.5-hour cheese-making workshops, dairy experts work alongside students as they transform farm-fresh milk into ricotta, mozzarella, and butter. Guests are welcome to bring their own wine or beer, and can enjoy their potables with glassware provided by Standing Stone Farm. Jazz music and light snacks add a cheery vibe to the event. Classes are available on select nights from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.; doors open at 6:45 p.m.
Standing Stone Farm
Standing Stone Farm's Paula Butler, whose cheese making was recently featured on PBS, demonstrates Old-World methods of cheese crafting during small classes held at her boutique dairy-goat farm. During cheese-making workshops, dairy manipulators will learn techniques to create greek feta, marinated feta, classic french chevre, and an easy 45-minute mozzarella, all using farm-fresh goat milk and provided cow's milk. Parched participants in the basic course can sip on complimentary coffee or bring their own alcoholic beverages from home. Upbeat, casual classes take place once or twice a month in the dairy farm's large kitchen with 12–15 students per session. Out on the fields, herds of nubian goats roam free, munching on alfalfa and watching farm-share members pick up their weekly gallon of raw goat milk.
"Awesome class and Paula is a great teacher and makes it so much fun!!"
"we enjoyed the class , learned a great deal , had fun and now working on making our own cheese at the house. "
"It was a great class. Paula was wonderful, getting to see the new baby gusts was all so much fun. "

Estrangement: outcome or solution?
My daughter, her husband, and 3 & 4-year old daughters moved in with me a few months ago to access better medical care for the older special-needs child. I offered free rent & utilities to help them get established only asking that they pay for groceries and help out around the yard. I also help out by babysitting. My SIL is working full-time, as am I, and my daughter is a stay-at-home mom.
The biggest problem has been the lack of effective and consistent discipline for a badly behaved and spoiled 3-year old. There are no negative consequences. Just idle threats and giving in to the demands. They don't tell her what to do...they give her options, and they don't believe in spanking (which I have respected). My daughter constantly orders her husband to deal with the resulting "problems" then criticizes and interferes with his attempts. I should add that this child does not misbehave when her parents are not around. She knows I won't put up with any nonsense.
In addition to the screaming temper tantrums, insolence, and whining demands, my newly renovated home has suffered $thousands in damage and is always a pigsty. I haven't had more than a handful of undisturbed sleeps and I'm going to work exhausted or relying on sleeping pills. There is no place to go for solitude I gave up my bedroom and bathroom so they could have privacy.
I've discussed these matters with my daughter but she is not receptive to my suggestions. She thinks my expectations are unreasonable, the damage to the house is normal wear and tear, and that I have no right to lay down any ground rules, or to say anything when their so-called methods arenÂt working. IÂm just trying to protect my property and my healthÂmy stress levels are through the roof!
Matters came to a head, we had a really ugly argument and they have decided to move out. We are barely on speaking terms. I've lost interest in "helping" out or spending time with my granddaughter even though itÂs not her fault. My daughter is verbally and openly poisoning the children against me and all I want right now is estrangement so I no longer have to deal with this. The biggest loss will be access to the special needs daughter. She is such a joy and even though she needs constant care, she is much easier to look after than her sister.
Have I really been unreasonable here or overstepped my boundaries? I think 24/7 exposure to these problems while bearing the costs, should earn me at least some respect. I know this rant is rather long but I wanted to try and paint the bigger picture.
allandale, for what it's worth, from the way you've described the situation, which is all I have to go on, I feel that you are well within your rights. It sounds like a horror situation and your daughter sounds like a real beaut. Whether the loss/estrangement is worth it down the line, only you can decide.
Best wishes to you.

Back in pre-Constitution America, the British army would burst into the homes and businesses of American colonists.
The searches would often be destructive, and intended so. Some of the time the point was to seize incriminating "revolutionary" materials, many times the point was simply to harass and threaten people the Crown feared and wanted to send a message to. It was in direct response to such invasions of freedom that the Founders wrote in the Fourth Amendment "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…"

US Supreme Court to Police: "Get a Warrant" Before Searching Cell Phones
|By: Kevin Gosztola Wednesday June 25, 2014 3:15 pm
The United States Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision instructing police that they must get a warrant if they want to search an arrested person's cell phone.
"Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cell phone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple—get a warrant," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the court's opinion.

Surveillance State Unchecked: Secret Spy Court Rejected Zero Requests in 2012

Homeland Security's Failed Attempt to Pervert the Freedom of Information Act Process
|By: Kevin Gosztola Saturday January 19, 2013 11:30 am
Over a week ago, a federal judge ruled documents the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was ordered to produce in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit could not be subjected to a protective order.
The development has received minimal attention, but the case seems important, as the government sought to use an innovative tactic to provide documents it owed an organization while at the same time preventing the public from reading the documents. Had the judge allowed the protective order or "clawback," it would have been a complete perversion of FOIA.
Judge Clears Federal Officials of Wrongdoing in Harsh Confinement of Muslims Immediately After 9/11
|By: Kevin Gosztola Friday January 18, 2013 9:16 am
A federal judge dismissed complaints in a lawsuit alleging former Justice Department officials violated the rights of Arab or Muslim immigrants in the immediate months after the September 11th terrorist attacks. The lawsuit, brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights, sought to hold the officials accountable for subjecting the immigrants to harsh confinement on the basis of their race, national origin and religion. Still, the judge allowed claims of violations against prison staff to proceed.
Government's Request for Stay in NDAA Lawsuit Shows Smug Arrogance of Executive Power
|By: Kevin Gosztola Tuesday September 18, 2012 10:31 am
A federal appeals court judge granted the government a stay against a federal judge's ruling permanently enjoining a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which passed last year and granted the military the legal authority to indefinitely detain persons. Lawyers from the Justice Department under Obama argued they needed an emergency stay because the injunction appears to be "worldwide in its effect, intruding upon military operations in the ongoing armed conflict against al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces."

Updated: 11/03/2014 8:55 PM |
Created: 10/14/2013 8:20 PM
By: Ryan Luby, KOB Eyewitness News 4
A father and son drove all the way from Scottsdale, Ariz., to Hillsboro, N.M., then to KOB Eyewitness News 4 to say that the abuse allegations against Tierra Blanca Ranch are bogus.
"They've done so much good in my life, they've led me, they've mentored me, they've helped me out a lot," Dmytro Bilynsky said.
He said he lived at the ranch for more than six years – between 2003 and 2009. He said ranch owner Scott Chandler is like a father to him.
When asked about the allegations of abuse against the ranch, first documented by 4 On Your Side, Bilynsky and his adoptive father, Michael Schafer, said they don't add up.
"Well, I don't believe they're true in my 6 and a half years I've been there, I've never seen anything like that. So, I don't really believe it," Bilynsky said.
He said the allegations were fabricated.
"I think so," he said.
Regardless, Governor Susana Martinez said there's credibility to the allegations, according to what state police found on Friday.
"The search warrant revealed evidence that I cannot tell you precisely what it was, but did corroborate some of the allegations of some of those boys," she said.
Bilynsky said he believes Chandler's attorney that Chandler and the boys went on a prescheduled camping trip on Friday. He said camping trips are a routine part of how Chandler conditions the boys at his ranch.
State police arrived at the ranch Friday morning – less than 12 hours after the 4 On Your Side investigation – to find the ranch vacant.
Bilynsky and Schafer agreed that Chandler's behavior looks suspicious, but they said people need to keep an open mind and appreciate every side to the story.
"That's why we chose to come," Schafer said.

Interview with M. Allen Cunningham
Both artist and bookseller stand at the vanguard of culture. Both struggle for something essentially impractical, unlucrative, and yet unspeakably necessary. Both have labored to build a life in accordance with a passionate vision. Both accumulate intangible rewards, usually in the absence of lower gratifications (prestige, affluence, vacations). Both are cursed and blessed to live in the conviction that what they do has relevance and worth in this world — to spend their days in service to something they love unreasonably and irredeemably.

Previewing Conn. championships
Updated: December 10, 2010, 10:47 AM ETBy Roger Brown
Connecticut will become the last state in the Northeast to wrap up its high school football season when four state championship games are played this weekend at the University of Connecticut's Rentschler Field. Some of the state's top recruits will be on display. Things kickoff Friday night when Trumbull (11-2) meets Xavier (12-0) in the Class LL title game. Three-star linebacker Graham Stewart (Middletown, Conn./Xavier) is ESPNU's top-rated recruit from Connecticut this season and is the leader of a Xavier defense that is allowing an average of 8.6 points per game. Boston College won a three-team recruiting battle for Stewart, who was also seriously considering Connecticut and Syracuse.

February 21, 2014 Palo Alto, California: MetricStream, a market leader in enterprise-wide Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions, will participate at the RSA Conference from February 24-28, 2014 in San Francisco, California.

Surviving and thriving in today's business environment requires seamless integration between information technology solutions and business processes. In the face of emerging threats and vulnerabilities, organizations must continuously monitor, identify, and evaluate existing and emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits that may impact their business. Aggregating information from multiple sources, and converting that information into actionable insights that can guide and support business decision-making is critical.
MetricStream's enhanced TVM solution equips organizations to manage threats in a holistic and comprehensive manner through real-time tracking and monitoring of various sources including social networks, blogs, wikis, and e-mails. The solution serves as a central repository of security intelligence data, correlating data to a GRC context, and allowing for actions and issues to be triggered from the solution.
The TVM solution is part of MetricStream's IT GRC management solution suite, which offers customers an integrated and flexible framework to streamline IT GRC processes, manage risks, and comply with increasingly complex regulatory requirements. The solution also helps support a more formal structure to measure, mitigate, and monitor IT risks across the enterprise.
During the five-day RSA conference, participants can interact with MetricStream domain experts, hear case studies on successful solution implementations, and view live demonstrations of MetricStream's TVM Solution at Booth #101 in the South Hall.
