The McWane Science Center has four floors of fun, educational exhibits including a dig pit, a weather lab, an optical illusions gallery, an air cannon, and a giant piano.
Current special exhibits include Race: Are We So Different?, running until September 2. Developed by the American Anthropological Association, the touring exhibition considers biological, cultural, and historical perspectives as it explores race in America. Along the way, scientific findings explain differences in human appearance while also challenging the fundamental concept of race.
McWane Science Center
In one corner, kids practice cracking a safe. In another, tiny hands sift through sand to find ancient fossils, with no archaeologists in sight. Toddlers, meanwhile, wander through a surreal dreamscape of 10-foot milk cartons and car-sized paper towel rolls. But these aren't scenes from a zany summer movie about all the adults disappearing: they're snapshots of the McWane Science Center, whose dozens of fun, interactive exhibits enliven science.
Notable exhibits include a collection of Alabama dinosaur skeletons that help us understand what life was like in the state millions of years ago. An aquarium area boasts a Shark & Ray Touch Tank, delighting visitors with an aquatic petting zoo. Interactive contraptions such as the pulley chair lift—which lets kids learn about simple machines as they hoist themselves aloft—convey abstract concepts with fun activities.

Mum gave me a few 'branches' of this crazy cactus years ago. About 2 months ago tiny pentagonal buds appeared. Finally one has exploded into this beautiful star of brown and yellow. Intricate and amazing. Again nature blows me away with utter fascination.
mord added this photo to his favorites. (73 months ago)
Neat! Cacti are so cool.
Wow this is awesome !!!! I've yet to see any of my cacti grow any kind of flower :D
Thanks normaljean & Amelie :o) Wish I could send you some ... I have more than you could shake a stick at!
What a crazy cool cactus! Outstanding DOF and composition. I really like this shot : )
Cool DOF alright. Just taken a photo of such a plant today and my friend had to take it outside as it doesn't smell that great. :)
Hi Jane, chrstn_jnttnz told me about your cactus and it was my plant that she took a pic of. It has an unopened flower so now I'm hoping it will look like yours!
I heard the stick shaking in Wales ;-) This photo of this crazy flower is awetastic :)
Thanks very much Blabbers, chrstn & Sandy :o)

More Sherlock Holmes News: Robert Downey Jr. to Play Holmes
Man, I love me some Robert Downey Jr. casting news, and this one's got me all giddy. Variety is reporting that RDJ will play Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie's reimagined version of the old sleuth's story (not to be confused with the comedic Sherlock Holmes story starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell). The article has more details:
Downey emerged as an action star with Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes also will take advantage of his physical skills as the character displays brawn as well as brains.
The basis for the film is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tales, but also the comic book Sherlock Holmes.
Now that I'm envisioning it, this seems like the best possible casting decision for Ritchie's project, especially since, as Variety notes, the image idea of RDJ as action star is still fresh in our minds. He can play Sherlock, and many of you think he should be the one picked to portray a young Hugh Hefner — is there anything this guy can't do? Seriously. I'm asking you.

This invention relates in general to wheelchairs and, in particular, to wheelchair accessories. Most particularly, this invention relates to a footrest for wheelchairs. A constant effort is made to produce wheelchairs that are user friendly. Focus is drawn towards producing wheelchairs that are strong and durable yet portable and lightweight. Advancements in folding frame construction have led to wheelchairs that are more portable. Even advancements in the construction of footrest assemblies have rendered such assemblies easily movable relative to the wheelchair frame. Often, such assemblies are also easily detachable. Most usually, the footrest assemblies pivot from a position in front of the chair to a position beside the wheelchair.
When beside the wheelchair, the footrest assembly will not interfere with the user's ability to get into and out of the wheelchair. However, in this position, the footrest assembly could interfere with the ingress and egress of the wheelchair occupant in areas where a limited amount of space is available. To date, this problem has been addressed by removing the footrest assembly which results in the footrest assembly being lost or misplaced. Many wheelchair occupants do not need the use of a footrest assembly all of the time as they propel themselves with their feet. However, there are times when they are tired, or are being wheeled by someone else, that a footrest is desirable and necessary. In these cases what is needed is a simple, lightweight footrest assembly that can be retracted and stored in a position beneath the wheelchair seat when not needed, and quickly extended to the front of the wheelchair when needed.
This invention is directed towards a footrest assembly that meets all of the foregoing needs. It is easily retracted and stored, easily extended for use and will not interfere with ingress and egress in space limited areas. In addition, the footrest assembly, when retracted, permits the wheelchair to be folded for transportation and/or storage. The footrest assembly is comprised of a footrest arm, a footrest, a carriage and associated mounting hardware for mounting to the front and rear vertical posts of the wheelchair frame under the wheelchair seat. The footrest assembly can be pivoted upward to permit retraction without interference with the front caster wheel. This permits the assembly to be as compact as possible for retraction, storage and wheelchair folding. This invention is relatively simple. As those associated with wheelchair use can attest, footrests are essential for many users, but are not essential full time for others. In recognition of the use and need of footrests, this invention addresses all of the needs. It is available for use when needed, retracted and stored when not needed, and when retracted, does not interfere with the ability to fold the wheelchair for transportation and/or storage.
This design is simple. Parts in the invention have been designed to fit either side of a wheelchair; there are no right or left-hand parts. This reduces the complexity of manufacturing and assembly.
Referring now to the drawings there is illustrated in
The side frames (15) are joined together by cross tubes (20). Lower ends of the cross tubes (20) are pivotally connected to the lower tubes (17) of the side frames (15). Upper portions of the cross tubes (20) are movably connected relative to the upper tubes (16) by transverse braces (not shown). The cross tubes (20) are foldable to permit the wheelchair to be folded into a compact form. The wheelchair is foldable into a compact form to permit the wheelchair to be easily transported and stored.
Upper ends of the cross tubes (20) are connected to seat tubes (21). The seat tubes (21) are adapted to be supported by upper tubes (16) of corresponding side frames (15). The upper tubes (16) can be provided with couplings, such as saddles (not shown), for supporting the seat tubes (21) relative to the upper tubes (16). A sling (22) extends substantially horizontally between the seat tubes (21). The sling (22) forms a seat for supporting a wheelchair occupant.
Seat back tubes (23) are inserted in the rear tubes (19) of the side frames (15). A canvas seat back (24) extends substantially vertically between the seat back tubes (23). Upper ends of the seat back tubes (23) are provided with attendant handles (25) to aid an attendant in maneuvering the wheelchair.
As shown in the drawings, the upper tubes (16) can be adapted to support armrest assemblies (26). The armrest assembly's (26) can be comprised of armrest tubes (shown but not referenced) supporting armrests (27) and side guards (28). The armrests (27) are sufficiently low enough to permit a wheelchair occupant to gain access to rear wheels (29), which will be described herein below. The side guards (28) are provided to protect the wheelchair occupant's person or apparel from being caught in the spokes of the rear wheels (29).
Front caster wheels (30) support the front end of the wheelchair relative to a supporting surface. The front caster wheels (30) can be affixed to the wheelchair in any suitable manner. For example, the front caster wheels (30) can be provided with stems (not shown) that are adapted to be inserted into lower open ends of the front tubes (18) of the side frames (15). Bearings (also not shown) can be provided in an annular space between the stems and front tubes (18). The stems are adapted to rotate in the front tubes (18) to enable the wheelchair to be maneuvered.
Rear wheels (29) support the rear end of the wheelchair. The rear wheels (29) are adapted to be driven by the wheelchair occupant to propel and maneuver the wheelchair. The rear wheels (29) can be affixed to the wheelchair in any suitable manner. For example, axle plates (not shown) can be affixed to the side frames (15). The axle plates can be provided with apertures for receiving axles or axle tubes, which, in turn, are adapted to receive axles. The axles support the rear wheels (29).
It can be desirable to lock the rear wheels (29) in a substantially fixed position to prevent the wheelchair from moving. Locks, such as the wheel locks (31), can be provided for locking the rear wheels (29) in place. The wheel locks (31) can be attached to the side frames (15) adjacent to the periphery of the rear wheels (29). The wheel locks (31) include levers and contact members (shown but not referenced).
The wheel lock levers are displaceable to a locked position wherein contact members are caused to engage the rear wheels (29). To unlock the rear wheels (29), the wheel lock levers are displaceable to an unlocked position.
It is standard to have removable footrest assemblies extending from the front of the wheelchair (not shown). While not conventional, this invention embodies a type of footrest assembly that will be explained.
In accordance with this invention, footrest assembly's (32) are provided. The footrest assembly's (32) are mounted to permit forward and rearward movement. As shown in
When not in use, the footrest assembly (32) can be moved to a second position beneath the wheelchair seat sling (22). See
Mounting of the Feet First footrest is accomplished as follows. Outer rail (2) is fastened to wheelchair vertical front post (18) and vertical rear post (19) of wheelchair side frame (15) with inner clamp (3) and outer clamp (7).
After the outer rail (2) is installed, the footrest carriage (12) can be slid over the outer rail (2). Once installed, travel of the footrest carriage (12), is limited by front and rear screws (13). This permits the footrest assembly (32) to be easily extended to the front, or retracted to the rear. In order to move the footrest over the front caster wheel (30) the footrest arm (9) can be raised to clear the front caster wheel. When the footrest assembly (32) is fully extended the carriage (12) drops into a lock notch (33) to lock the footrest assembly (32) in place. To retract, the footrest carriage (12) must be raised out of the lock notch (33).
The footrest assembly (32) is subjected to considerable loading at various times. Accordingly, the pivotal joint between the footrest arm (9) and the carriage (12) must be of sufficient strength to withstand various types of loads. The carriage (12), the outer rail (2), the footrest arm (9) and the footrest (10) are fabricated from materials that have high strength. Many metals are suitable for this use.
Operation of the footrest assembly (32) and the lock notch (33) now can be described. When the footrest assembly (32) is fully extended, the carriage (12) slides over and drops into a lock notch (33) at the front of the outer rail (2) locking it into place. In order to retract the footrest assembly (32), the carriage (12) must be raised out of the lock notch (33) and the carriage assembly (32) and retracted fully rearward to the stowed position.

International cell phone?
I am a USA resident who will be visiting France. I need to get one of those cell phones specifically so that people here in the USA can reach me over there. My house will be on the market, and I need to be able to receive a call, if I'm lucky enough to find a buyer with an offer while I'm gone!
Please advise of any phone services you have used in such a similar situation. I'm not exactly sure how to locate one on the internet...they have plenty of calling cards for me to use to call out, but I am more in need of a way to have people in the states reach me in France.
Many thanks.
ATT has an option to get international service. You need a special phone (which is expensive) and the fees are outrageous. Check their website.
Also Verizon (I think) has this option. Check all cell phone service provider.
If you have a contact person in France see if you can buy a perpaid cell phone in France. That is usually the cheaper way. You buy a phone with a pre-charged card in it. This should not be more than $150. I am not sure about France, but in Germany you don't have to pay if you get an incoming call (even if international) - unlike if you buy a phone in the US and use a US service provider.
Good Luck.
Hope the Link below gives you some good Info.Don't forget it will be 6 hours later on the East Coast than in France.So while you are sleeping in France you can get a Offer for your Place and when you are awake to make a counter offer the US is asleep.
Here is a link that might be useful: calling tips
Instead of the big companies like Verizon and T Mobile we were advised to look into the smaller companies who specialize in international cell phones.
I looked into cell hire and Mobal (www.MobalRental.com) and my favourite was Mobal becuase you buy the phone for $49 and you just keep it for life. You only pay for what you use and there's no monthly charge so it's easy. Although call rates are a little high for some countries, I don't mind paying exstra for the convenience.

As we go through life's different stages, the type and amount of exercise we need, may change considerably.
As we go through life's different stages, the type and amount of exercise we need may change considerably. As we age, exercise bestows important benefits, and the older we get the more essential these benefits become to our quality of life. Though some exercises are more beneficial than others, the truth is that any exercise you do in addition to your normal level of activity will benefit your health in a very short time.
Apart from the physical benefits of exercise, such as lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels and helping to control weight, if you exercise regularly you are also less likely to suffer from mental health problems, such as depression, as exercise helps individuals retain a sense of well-being and alertness. Exercise can work as painkiller and mood enhancer because it causes the body to release chemicals called endorphins which are not only block pain signals but also affect part of hypothalamus, the area responsible for determining mood.
Reasons to exercise regularly
- Exercise will help to reduce the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases by increasing heart rate and respiratory capacity.
- It will help to prevent osteoporosis by keeping bones strong and healthy.
- It will help lubricate cartilage, keeping it supple and reducing the risk of joint problems
- It will help the muscles around your joints stronger for longer, helping to prevent falls and other injuries.
- Should an accident happen, exercise will help to make any injury less severe and quicken the healing
A good programme should include exercises to increase your respiratory capacity, your muscle strength, your balance and your flexibility. Most important, it should be safe and pleasurable. The sheer variety of possible combinations should ensure that you find some physical activity to suit your interests. However, safety is paramount.
When you exercise, keep yourself hydrated by drinking relatively small amounts of water but regularly. This will keep you comfortable and increase your awareness of the activity you are engaged in. For most adults, exercising for more than one hour a day will not increase their cardiovascular performance but may increase the risk of complications, including injuries. Injuries are perhaps the most common risk with exercise; bur serious injuries can be treated quite simply with one or two days of rest.
To avoid injury and make exercise more enjoyable, wear clothing that is appropriate for the activity and wear shoes designed specifically for your chosen activity.
In reality, the best exercise for you is the one that you like to do – an activity you associate with pleasure, to which you would like to return regularly, or a sport you would like to develop or keep up.
If you are a new to exercise, build up slowly and steadily. Start your exercise session with warm-up routine and finish with a cool down. The time you spend warming up will depend on the type of activity you plan to do, but in general a warm-up should last about 10 minutes, and include some aerobic activities to raise your heart and breathing rates, followed by some stretches to increase the flexibility and suppleness.
By doing a cool-down routine you allow your heart and breathing rates to slow down gently, and the stretches will help to prevent any post-exercise aching and stiffness – particularly important for those new to exercise.
From the physical point of view there are essentially four reasons to exercise:
- To increase your cardio-respiratory capacity
- To increase your muscle strength and metabolism
- To increase your flexibility
- To increase your balance
What does exercise for you:
- it gives you more energy
- it helps you to sleep
- it helps counter anxiety and depression
- it helps you relax
- it helps you to cope with stress
- it improves your self-image
- it gives you an opportunity to socialize and meet new friends
Adults should strive to take on some physical activity of moderate-intensity physical activity for 20 or more minutes on 3-4 days a week. If you want to exceed a moderate level of fitness, you need to exercise 3-4 times a week for 30-60 minutes.
Types of exercise.
Different types of exercise will develop different aspects of your body's abilities. Some exercises as walking, swimming and step classes, are thought to be particularly good because they exercise almost every muscle in a balanced manner while helping to increase your cardiovascular capacity.
Exercises that rely on repeated movements with weights or against resistance are called muscle strengthening exercises, and they will increase your muscle mass, bone density and body metabolism.
Flexibility can be increased by stretching and yoga exercises.
Anyone, who does at least 30 minutes any kind of exercise activity a day, can cut the incidence of chronic activity by 30-40%.

The crate keeps it upright and prevents the tank from tipping or rolling around. The crate is easy to maneuver and keeps my car cleaner, as my tank is sometimes grimy. And, it also works for transporting my gas can when I need to refill it as well.

Bar of soap protects hands
in the garden
Just like my Welsh Mummy, I keep a bar of soap in water in a plastic container. The soap gets gooey and before I go into the garden, I dig my fingernails into the soap. It gets under my nails and protects them from cracking when they are brittle. It also makes for easy hand cleanup afterward! Georgia Oakes, Charlotte
Pie tops make
great drip pans
The clear plastic tops from frozen pies make great drip pans for indoor or outdoor potted plants. Barbara M. Carpenter, Oakboro
Panty hose erases deodorant streaks
It is so aggravating to slip your blouse or top over your head and then find white deodorant streaks on your clothing. To remedy this without changing your top, just wipe the streaks with a knee high panty hose or any panty hose and it immediately removes the streak.

She helped us with the whole process from the moment we met her right up until we walked down the aisle. Her positive and bubbly personality made the ceremony that much more special.

Hatsukoi Drama CD
Expand Messages
- Of course my copy of the Hatsukoi Drama CD came just *after* I left
for Illinois. Isn't that the way.
Hatsukoi Shimai is basedon the manga ofthe same name from Yuri Hime.
This Drama CD is labeled as Volume 1, so we ought to be getting more.
The stories cover three couples: Chika snd Haruna; Akiho and Touko;
and for the life of me I can't remember the other pairs names... Miyu
and something with a K. (Sorry, I'm still not caught up on sleep...)
I started the cd up on the way in to work. If you are attempting to
practice to understand Japanese, I strongly suggest this Drama CD -
the language is incredibly simple and easy to follow. The first
several minutes are Chika kvelling because she made cookies for
Haruna...and Haruna says "thank you". (!) As Akiho points out, Chika
is easy to please. :-)
I'll give you all a synopsis when I'm done with the various stories.
If you want a copy for yourself:

At nineteen, Annie Black abandons California for a London winter of drinking to oblivion and looking for love in the wrong places. Twenty years later, she is a happily married mother of three living in San Francisco. Then one morning, a photograph arrives in her mailbox, and an old obsession is awakened.
Author: Michael Christie
Publication Date: 2015-01-22
Will has never been outside, at least not since he can remember. And he has certainly never gotten to know anyone other than his mother, a fiercely loving yet wildly eccentric agoraphobe who drowns in panic at the thought of opening the front door.
But Will's thirst for adventure can't be contained. Clad in a protective helmet and unsure of how to talk to other kids, he finally ventures outside. With the help of an artistic loner who introduces Will to the high-flying freedom of skateboarding, Will is pulled far from the confines of his closed-off world and thrust headfirst into the throes of early adulthood and the dangers that everyday life offers.

Encyclia bractescens
Small species from Mexico, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador. Individual flowers are around 1 ½ inches.
Entire plant. I think a lot of people grow this mounted, but I found it does well in a shallow pot with lava rock. I tried a regular sized deeper pot and it didnÂt do well since the roots seem to like spreading out near the surface.
sorry to pull up an old thread but I just had to share that I finally got one of these puppies today at the royal botanical gardens orchid show...ever since kev's pic i've had this little seed of desire planted in my mind...then last month I saw a glorious one in RL at a show and I had to get it....and today, I found one for 20 bucks! A vendor had it...it was part of a fresh shipment of chids in from mexico (really awesome species epidendrum/encyclias, some laelias...most priced beyond my spending range - $30+)
I also got a coel. cristata for 8 dollars...and I *saw* a catt luteola which is also on the wish list big time...but I exercised some restraint...
I think you'll really like this one. I was just looking over the plants and admiring this one again. It's in bloom right now with 4 spikes. There's just something very graceful and unassuming about the whole plant.
PS - I can't emphasize the lava rock enough for this one unless you want to grow it mounted. It's done so much better than it ever did in a regular pot with regular old bark mix.
Looks great, Kev! (Though it does bring back sad memories mine's demise .......)
Received one from a friend whom I have since lost contact with. I killed it I'm afraid. I was trying to grow it in regular media. From what you've said -- that was likely my problem. (& its such a culte lil thaing too -- just my size
Yup - high light. Humidity doesn't seem to be an issue for this one. Mine really hasn't been that high this winter, but I have a feeling it would do well in your tank.
The problem I found with trying to grow this one in a pot is the roots really like to spread out on the surface of the medium. Any of the ones that went down into it rotted. Luckily I discovered the problem early and moved the plant to what its in now.
I'm glad this thread re-surfaced. I missed it the first time around. Kev, I will look for this plant and give it a try. Post us a pic of your plant, it sounds gorgeous. How tall is it now? Compact growers is my mantra now, no room for more space hogs.
Sheila :)
Here's a quickie pic of the plant today - about a year since the first pic in this thread. The tallest leaf is around 7 inches. I noticed H&R has a FS in a 2 inch pot for $5. I think that's where I originally got mine and as I remember it was crawling out of it's pot at the time. They have some of the best deals in the $5-7 range. Also noticed that Oak Hill has one for $15.

get scared that it will come back. then I remind myself that
worrying that much is just wasting the good time that I have.
I think I worry a little daily sometimes I feel a little scared
daily then I try to get on with the business of living.
I had chemo and bi-mast I was st3 with 2 different cancers
bilateraly. I have been on tamoxifen for 2 1/2 yrs now.
that's the hard thing about cancer you don't know when or
if it will recur . So I am going to try and enjoy my life regardless
if the cancer comes back or not.

I had mine taken out. They numbed the area, and made a
small incision and took it out.It felt weird coming out.
The tubing in your vein goes quite a long way. The incision
is about an inch. My clothes (even low cut) cover it.
I always had a problem with my port showing .I have had
no problems at all. Don't miss that port at all. I will be right
there with you. I'll be on "pinkie " to escort you.

2 differnt kinds of BC. I think the prize is worth the fight.
I am 2 1/2 yrs now. I did chemo first then I had Bi-mast.
I didn't have rads. :You have to make your own decisions,

Stay strong in your fight!

I never had to stop chemo, but I was dx with 2 different
kinds of cancer at the same time. I did chemo before
surg. I was st3 on one and they werent really sure I wasn't
st4.Why put me through the rough surg if I was st 4.
But I wasn't and I had the bi-mast.And I have 2 yrs now.
I know this is your second round. One of my cancers was
her-2. So I had 12 weekly of herceptin and taxol, then
a 2wk break then A/C for x4 at 10 day intervals.
Herceptin can also cause some nerve damage. But the
drug can really work . It can keep certain cancers in
remission a long time. I would go with treatment for now,
And when you improve with the shingles , re-evaluate
the situation.I would never give up. The weird thing is
about a year before dx I had a a very mild case of
shingles and it was on my face. It looked like small chicken
pox and I never got the rash but it headed for my eye.
They gave me valtrex and it stopped it. I also had annother
year of herceptin at every 3 weeks. I have some nerve
damage in my legs and feet. But not enough to bother my
daily life. So just keep on keepin on! Let me know how
things are going.
Hugs and strength,

kinds of B-cancer bi-lteral at the same time, So I had a
long chemo. I really didn't have any pain from chemo.
If you do have pain or any other side effect. I think the key
is to communicate with your Doc or nurse. They have a
remedy for most things. II was terrified of chemo. I was
more afraid than I needed to be. It sucks, but its not forever.
I haven't had radiation. So I can't say about that.
Please let us know how you are doing. Tha ladies here
have alot of knowledge. They helped me alot.

"Unimaginable" Devastation as Philippines Hit With One of Worst Storms in History
More than 10,000 people are feared dead in the central Philippines following one of the most powerful storms ever recorded. Nearly 1,000 people are confirmed dead so far, but the toll is expected to rise. Typhoon Haiyan sent huge waves that inundated towns, washed ships ashore and swept away coastal villages. More than 600,000 people have been displaced, and many still have no access to food, water or medicine. The city of Tacloban was described as a scene of massive devastation, with bodies scattered in the streets and buried under flattened buildings. We are joined by Al Jazeera correspondent Jamela Alindogan, who reported from Tacloban after Typhoon Haiyan struck, herself struggling to survive the storm.
"If Not Now, Then When?": As Climate Talks Open in Poland, Philippines Devastated by Another Storm
As the Philippines reels from one of the worst storms in history, the annual U.N. climate summit is opening today in Warsaw, Poland. Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at the Weather Underground, says rising sea levels caused by global warming increased the size of the storm's surge, while the heating of the oceans threatens more extreme storms that could form into typhoons. We also air the emotional plea of Yeb Saño, a member of the Philippines Climate Change Commission, urging action on global warming at last year's climate summit in Doha. Saño spoke just as Typhoon Bopha hit his country, killing hundreds and leaving 250,000 homeless. "Heartbreaking tragedies like this are not unique to the Philippines, because the whole world — especially developing countries, struggling to address poverty and achieve social and human development — confront these same realities," Saño said. "I ask of all of us here: If not us, then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where?"
The Untold Story of War: U.S. Veterans Face Staggering Epidemic of Unemployment, Trauma & Suicide
Today marks Veterans Day, the federal holiday honoring U.S. men and women who have fought in the armed forces. Veterans continue to face extremely high levels of unemployment, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress and homelessness. Since 2000, nearly 6,000 servicemembers have experienced traumatic amputations from injuries caused by improvised explosive devices and other war-related dangers. Nearly one million active servicemembers have been diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder since 2000; nearly half of those have been diagnosed with two or more. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, an estimated 22 veterans take their own lives each day. Last year, more U.S. military personnel died by their own hands than the hands of others. On any given night, nearly 63,000 veterans are homeless. Many suffer chronic debilitating mental health problems. We are joined by longtime writer and photographer Ann Jones, author of the new book, "They Were Soldiers: How the Wounded Return from America's Wars—The Untold Story."

Buffalo meat cooks a lot faster than your normal burger. Your first few times I would suggest checking every couple of mins. May want to even consider cooking them on a raised grill (not sure of the name but many grills have that upper level that is further from the heat.)As for thawing I just let it sit out and thaw the old fashioned way.
Speaking of grilling: Is it better to use high heat to sear them & keep a warmer middle or use low heat & cook them a little longer. Normally I like an internal temp. of 145°.

Minawao Camp, Northern Cameroon - They arrive on motorbikes, donkeys and on foot. Many have travelled for days, under rough conditions, before arriving in Cameroon. WFP is providing vital food and nutritional support to refugees who escaped recent fighting in Nigeria, and who continue to arrive every day to Minawao camp. As violence has been escalating, however, in the border area, it has been increasingly difficult for refugees to escape the chaos on their way.
3 February 2015
Thousands of people have fled northeastern Nigeria to Cameroon to escape attacks by militants. We met Sarah at the Minawao camp, 120 kms east of the border, where WFP is providing food assistance to the refugees. Here's the dramatic story of her escape from the militia.
15 January 2015
A dusty road in eastern Cameroon leads to Gbiti, a small village at the border with the Central African Republic (CAR). The village is home to more than 4,000 refugees of the bloody conflict in the CAR that erupted a little over a year ago. As in all of the seven refugee sites along the border, the majority of the refugees in Gbiti are children.
The countries are separated only by a small river, where women wash their family's clothes and Cameroonian soldiers are patrolling. It is the same spot where hundreds to thousands of Central Africans have been crossing the river every day only a couple of months ago – and still people are arriving.
16 July 2014
Fatimatou Djara is one of over 100,000 people who have arrived in Cameroon this year, fleeing the vicious bloodletting in the Central African Republic. She and her three children receive food from WFP every month. In this interview, she explains some of the changes that life as a refugee brings.
24 June 2014
In Cameroon up to 1 out of 3 refugee children from Central African Republic suffer from malnutrition, a recent United Nations assessment found. Kinday Samba, WFP senior nutritionist, was part of the assessment mission. We asked her about what she saw.
6 June 2014
Exhausted, hungry and often sick, tens of thousands of people have crossed the border from Central African Republic (CAR) into Cameroon. Young children are hit hardest by malnutrition. To respond to the dire humanitarian crisis, WFP is implementing an emergency operation to feed vulnerable families and fight malnutrition, which is proving fatal for people weakened by the cross-border journey.
30 January 2014
A new wave of refugees from Central African Republic (CAR) has crossed the border to Cameroon after conflict broke out between the Séléka movement and the former Bozizé regime last year. The new refugees add to the nearly 88,000 CAR refugees already living in the Adamaoua and Eastern regions.
8 August 2012
18 July 2012
The arrival of the lean season this month is exacerbating conditions in the Far North region of Cameroon. 400,000 people are estimated to be affected by the food and nutrition crisis.
4 July 2012
WFP is providing food assistance to more than 200,000 people affected by crop failure and livestock losses in the Far North region of Cameroon, where poverty rates are well above than the 40 percent national average.

Dealer Cooks Up Book To Battle Cancer
âOne of the things Iâve learned through this experience is that everyoneâno matter where they are in life–is touched by cancer in some way. They may have a friend or a family member who is currently battling it or has battled it in the past,â? says Crystal Horne, whoâs 65-year-old father developed non-hodgkins lymphoma. âI got the idea for the cookbook from a friend of mine who died of cancer at age 29. Her family created a cookbook of her favorite recipes for her twins, which she had just a couple of years before she died.â?
Horne took her idea for the cookbook to her manufacturer Honest Abe Log Homes (Moss, TN), where it was well received. Soon recipes began to pour in from clients and staffers in the home office, as well from builders, dealers and suppliers. Within 60 days of first proposing the idea, Horne and the staff at Honest Abe had collected more than 400 recipes.
Based on the great response they had received from clients and suppliers, they contacted country music station WSM in nearby Nashville, TN. Georgia Blagovich at WSM asked various stars of country music to contribute their favorite recipes. Some of the country stars that sent in their recipes include Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Randy Travis, Charlie Daniels, Alan Jackon, Lorretta Lynn, Wynonna, Sammy Kershaw, Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle, Dolly Parton, Louise Mandrell, and George Jones.
An anonymous donor contributed money for the first printing of the cookbook. With momentum building for the project, they chose to have all proceeds go to the National Cancer Awareness Foundation. The foundationâs mission is to generate cancer awareness and raise funds to help cancer patients and their families in times of crisis. The foundation has worked with the building systems industry before. Itâs flagship project was Janâs House of Hope, which took place in 2001. A 3,100 sq.ft. fully furnished dream house set atop a barge toured the East Coast and raised money for cancer awareness programs and hospices.
You can help make a difference to cancer patients and their families by purchasing a copy of this cookbook. Since the printing was already covered, all proceeds will help cancer victims directly. âCookinâ For A Cureâ? is being published by Walters Cookbooks in Waseca, MN and they are being being sold through Honest Abe Log Homes. To get your copy, send $10 plus $2 for shipping to: NCAF c/o Hones Abel Log Homes, 3855 Clay County Highway, Moss, TN 38575 or call 800-231-3695.
And in case you are curious, Crystal Horneâs father responded well to treatment and has been cancer free for two years now.
Construction Writers Honor Janâs House
Janâs House also won a gold award from the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of New Hampshire for the most creative public relations campaign. Tour highlights can be see on the web site:www.janshouseofhope.com. The construction, furnishing, and exhibition of Janâs House was funded completely through corporate and individual donations.
The house was named in honor of a brave woman who succumbed to cancer in 1999 at age 50. But it was also dedicated to more than 7,000 individuals (names that were submitted to the web site) who had fought cancerâsome successfully, some not.
Baltimore Sun Features Modular Homes
âThough modular homes accounted for only 35,000 of the 1.6 million-plus dwellings built in this country during 2002, they are becoming increasingly popular among buyers,â? according to the article by reporter Patricia V. Rivera. âModular homes are built in a factory and assembled on site in sections, but technological innovation has paved the way for customization. Moreover, modular housing closely resembles traditional stick-built homes but costs as much as 6% less; are not exposed to the elements during construction; and can be assembled in as little as one week. In another advancement, buyers can now secure financing before the home is placed on the foundation; and the builders are paid as soon as it is cemented.â?Back to top
