These dividers make any presentation look professional. The font which you print into the sections can be made large enough to be read easily. The number of sections is not overwhelming, and the tabs make it easy to find what you need.Very nice product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

10 Tabs - just right
By Tres
The 10 tab dividers are just the right number of sections for so many uses. As a professor, I use this size extensively for course materials as it works out well for the documentation I keep for each course. When using for projects, the 10-tab gives me additional tabs for misc. items, documents that must be retained, and notes for the next project.10 tabs - not too many, not too few. Just right.
Stands the Test of Time
By LisaG
I've used the same set of Avery Classic Ready Index Table of Contents dividers the past three years to prepare binders for management to interview future employees. They've stood up to the test of time and are of such great quality that there's no doubt I'll continue to use the same set of dividers for many more years. Great job, Avery, on quality and service!
Professional Binders
By danetteg
I utilize the Classic Ready Index Table of Contents practically on a daily basis. This index makes binder hand-outs look extremely professional and are easy to create. I recommend this product to all the Administrative Asistants in my company.
By IMALRYT
I honestly swear by several Avery products but, the Ready Index has to be the absolute easiest and best to use for any type of agenda book that I make for my meetings. The template and the product is so easy to use that there is no room for user error!!

Love them help keep my reports for the year in great placesCan go directly to the month and pull all the reports.Works great for me.
By JMac3
Through using these dividers with the accompanying table of contents the information that I was required to present came across much more professionallly than other presentation binders who had not used this product. I would highly recommend this product. Setting up the binders was ridiculously easy to boot.
By Lara
This is an easy product to use, and because the tabs are numbered instead of titled, you can re-use them for a very long time without having to print out new tab names! Just find the template to print yourself a new cover page and you've re-purposed the whole set without any stickers.
Easy to change up
By Deena
I like this product because I often change what is in my notebooks, and the ability to simply print off a new index alows that change in no time.
By netcert
These indexes make a great looking presentation binder. I use these for a guide I want people to use and I want them to be able to find the information they need quickly and easily.

Report: Philly cops issue warrant for suspect in Winter Classic brawl
Jan 13, 2012, 12:46 AM EDT
The 2012 Winter Classic was a glorious event that was partly marred by an ugly brawl between Philadelphia Flyers fans and New York Rangers fans. The incident gained even more notoriety when it was revealed one of the brawl's victims was a former Marine that was injured in Iraq.
NBC Philadelphia reports that police have issued an arrest warrant for a man they believe threw the first punch in the incident.
Police say tips led them to the South Philadelphia Bar and Grill — which is almost directly across the street from Geno's — where the suspect and friends were allegedly drinking on the day of the fight. A search warrant uncovered a credit card receipt for a bill totaling more than $225 that was paid just before 7 on the night of the fight.
That credit card matched the name of the man believed to have thrown the first punch at about 7:15 p.m., police sources said.
The suspect reportedly has a record that includes arrests involving "drugs, robbery with a gun and aggravated assault."
Here's video of the fight in case you didn't get a chance to see it. Warning: there is some very graphic violence in this clip.

It was Ian Laperrierre……in front of Geno's……with the candlestick

Oh great, here come all of the comments about how all Philly fans are trash & how someone threw a snowball at Santa Claus 40 years ago… ugh. Give it a rest.
- hojo3322 - Jan 13, 2012 at 11:44 AM
oh and don't for get the time a phillies fan purposely threw up on a little girl, you stay classy philly.
- imleftcoast - Jan 13, 2012 at 12:13 PM
Glad to see someone charged. I was just as happy to see the idiots charged in Vancouver. It's embarassing to hockey fans when this crap happens, and the Ranger fans were obviously trying to simmer things down.
- elvispocomo - Jan 13, 2012 at 4:22 PM
If there's one thing all of us can agree on, it's that we can get rid of the idiots off the ice and on.

Tumbled Swirl Coverlet 86 86
Tumbled Swirl Coverlet This coverlet is perfect for Florida and the fabric is so soft! I just wish they had King Pillow Shams. June 28, 2015
Fed Up I purchased the red coverlet, the only time it remained red was when it arrived. This coverlet bleeds and I have had it for 18 months. Today when I pulled it out of the dryer, cool dryer heat, the fabric softner sheet was dis colored again. Washed in cold water. I even paid to dry clean it once in hopes of getting the color back and the bleeding to stop The only thing good about this item is the size, I need a cream coverlet but for what you pay and what you end up with I will not purchase from Garnet Hill. February 8, 2015
Great Coverlet for Spare Room This coverlet gives a modern feel and is nice and crisp white. December 10, 2014
saturated pumpkin color for fall and winter nice lighter weight for fall and winter, bold orange color that layers well if it gets too cold. November 22, 2014
Pretty Color I ordered the orange-ish color, which is beautiful. I thought the quilt was thinner than I expected. Definately order a size down - I ordered a double for my queen bed based on reviews and I still feel like it is a little big. November 8, 2014
Lovely! This is my second set of these. The last one my husband washed with Clorax :0( They've lasted for years, washed every week, and get better over time. Highly recommend. And no snags from the pets on top either! August 30, 2014

There has always been a divide between fans of racing games. One side prefers racing sims like Gran Turismo, which emphasize the technical details of racing; the other side prefers arcade racers like Burnout, which emphasize speed and have a low learning curve. But the past few months have seen two racing sims come out that try to make the experience more enjoyable for those that prefer the arcade style: Forza Motorsport 3 and DiRT 2. Despite the similar features in each, and the bevy of assists in Forza 3, I believe DiRT 2 does the better job appealing to gamers of my ilk, who have always preferred Burnout over pretty much everything else.
The setting helps. By taking races off their enclosed concrete tracks, the tracks feel less formal. Yes, they are still enclosed, but there's a rebelliousness to racing on the dirt, mud, and gravel as if Dirt 2 is upping the ante on other racing games. This feeling is reinforced by sporadic puddles and ramps. This isn't your everyday race track; you're fighting the environment just as much as the other racers. It doesn't immediately look like the kind of race that would demand precision braking, it looks more accessible. Driving though such an obstacle course is fun in its own right, so even if a rookie is in last place there's still enjoyment to be had. Never underestimate the allure of a ramp.

Community Development Voices Form A Chorus for Change
This week, urban policy leaders arrived in the nation's capitol to launch the Institute for Comprehensive Community Development ("the Institute"), a venture of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC). LISC Executive Director Michael Rubinger, Julia Stasch of the MacArthur Foundation, Robert Weissbourd, Richard Baron, and other innovators in the field of community development lent their voices to a chorus of support for the Institute. A clearinghouse for research, performance evaluation, and sharing of community development best practices, the Institute will inform and improve upon community development work across the country and policies coming out of Washington.
Why an institute? In the words of Julia Stasch, "[it] responds to a need and it will lead." By providing information that will enable practitioners and policy makers to better serve communities, the Institute will empower stakeholders to effectively respond to, and enhance, the way people live; to build healthy, sustainable and equitable cities for the 21st century.
The timing for this collaborative effort could not be better. As the White House Office of Urban Affairs works alongside the Domestic Policy Council to create comprehensive federal programming that will support sustainable planning and integrated initiatives at the local and regional level, who better to learn from than the community drivers who have a proven track record of creating resilient, vibrant and inclusive communities?
For federal policy makers, the Institute will provide evidence that will help to operationalize the philosophy that strong neighborhoods are central to strong regions. In the words of Senior White House official Xavier de Souza Briggs, efforts likes these enable us to "take stock of what we have to offer and how we measure success." For example, several launch attendees were excited by the prospect of having the Institute play a larger role in defining measures that will quantify the impact of planning grants and other federal programs, to understand if our work is moving the needle to improve the lives of residents and the quality of the neighborhoods in which they live.
The Institute will also provide a platform, or a network, to strengthen the linkages between communities and help build lasting capacity to shift and adapt to new realities. The recent economic downturn places a premium on these types of networks which can help make neighborhoods more resilient to economic shock and bring multiple resources to bear upon the visioning process for a more prosperous future. As a broker, the Institute has the potential to empower community practitioners to apply pressure for more systemic and structural reforms, locally and nationally, that will improve communities.
The Institute provides a refreshing and critical community voice, a deep bench of intellectual prowess, and practical on-the-ground experience to share with us here in Washington, and to paraphrase one former community organizer – I am fairly certain the ways of Washington will never be the same.

NBC's sitcom Save Me walks the line between religion and entertainment, and ratings show it might be slipping. The show follows a woman, Beth Harper (Anne Heche), who acquired the ability to speak to God after a near-death experience. Despite Heche's insistence that it's "not a religious show," some viewers have challenged the program's humor. An evangelical group, One Million Moms, claims the show is "Christian bashing."

The dirty little secret from the old K&E days is that he was not well liked at all. His arrival, and that of his mentor, Ken Starr, signalled a dramatic change in the Washington office of that firm from a meritocratic place to a secretive set of competing fiefdoms. None were sorry to see him go.
The Law Blog covers the legal arena's hot cases, emerging trends and big personalities. It's brought to you by lead writer Jacob Gershman with contributions from across The Wall Street Journal's staff. Jacob comes here after more than half a decade covering the bare-knuckle politics of New York State.

"a maker of boilers for engines," 1814, from boiler (n.) + maker. Meaning "shot of whiskey with a glass of beer" is short for boilermaker's delight (1910), strong cheap whiskey, so called in jest from the notion that it would clean the scales from the interior of a boiler.

UPS Is Hiring Seasonal Workers
The holidays will be here before we know it. So UPS is hiring seasonal workers, to help during the holiday season.
The holidays will be here before we know it. So UPS is hiring seasonal workers, to help during the holiday season.
What does Greeley, Colorado and Raleigh, North Carolina have in common? They are the only two cities in the Top 10 according to this new poll. So, what is it?
I still hear it all the time... People who think they can't find a job. Well, the economy has pretty much turned around, and if you look hard enough you can find something. That something may just be with a company that is part of the booming oil and gas industry!
Some jobs are more demanding than others. And there's one job even more demanding than all of those combined.
Talk about a dream job.
There's something thematically appropriate about a movie telling the story of a butler who quietly influenced the United States taking the number one spot at the box office over its flashy, bigger rivals. Lee Daniels' 'The Butler' took multiplexes by storm this weekend, taking down last week's competition as well as a handful of seemingly strong newcomers.
After taking on the title role in his new movie Jobs, Ashton Kutcher admits he got so into the character of Steve Jobs that it forced him into the emergency room early on in the filming process.
Being in the market for a new job means posting your résumé online. This seems like obvious information, but if you haven't yet posted your résumé anywhere, stop reading this and get it up on the Web as soon as possible. Or, better yet, finish reading this first and then post it. That way you'll at least know where to begin in the very crowded world that is online résumé sites.
Back in October of 2006, I was a sophomore at CSU, dreaming of one day having a job in radio. Then I got an email from my college saying some local radio stations were looking for some extra help. I promptly sent my resume and demo reel to one Paul Wozniak, who must have liked what he heard; because by the end of the week, I was an intern at the company where I now have my dream job! So...how would you like to get your foot in the door the same way I did?
Do you despise clocking in each day?
You're not alone.
It's no secret getting a job these days is pretty tough. So that's why it's more important than ever to stand out from the rest of your peers, and we're not just talking clever resumes. See, going the creative route on actual job applications is another solid way to guarantee you'll get noticed, whether it be going overly positive or just plain hilarious (we prefer the latter).
With the explosion of smartphones and tablets, it should come as no surprise to find out that we spend a lot of time checking our work email when we're not even in the office.
But just how much do we do it?

Like the idea of plant prints
TopB, Parking did cross my mind
Dave, I do agree with your post above about Sparrowhawks...but we are part of nature too. We aren't from another planet
Hello bookmonster (great name) Does it get any sun from the South? If it gets a fair bit of sun, you could try Asparagus; it needs good draining soil and shelter from strong winds. A Globe Artichoke will take up about 2m in height and width, but is well worth it. Again it needs a fair bit if sun as it is a Mediterranean veg. They were grown commercially, I believe, by the Romans in Britain but I think the climate may have been warmer then. Are you in the North or the South?
RB, wonderful pic of Compassion, I think it is my favourite rose, the scent is so lovely.
A quiz; name that plant? Or, how many songs can they name with plants mentioned. Just 20/50p to enter?
Sorry! it's whitestores.co.uk ( I don't think the U.S. President has time to deal in garden equipment)
I ordered a new canopy for the garden parasol; around £30 for a 2.5 m canopy from whitehouse.co.uk
Delivered very quickly, lovely people to deal with
My old parasol canopy lasted 12 years! But I do take it off every Autumn, wash it and put it away.
Um...what is parkin?

Never Alone
There was one moment. One moment that I began to feel sorry for myself. Spouses taking pictures, kids, families. And me alone. Well physically alone. I retreated back to that old feeling, those old beliefs. Who do I have to be to not walk this journey alone? Who do I have to be to be a wife, a mother? And what is my importance without those things? I am not sure if I found an answer. But what I did find was the moment. Happiness instead of envy for those who have those things. And in turn I found happiness for myself. For I have a family, who is with me in my heart. I have friends who are with me in my heart. I have my Samson kitty who is with me in my heart. And I have God…who is always and forever with me. Always.
Who Are You??
A conversation with a friend:
Me: You're a man, maybe you can tell me what's wrong with me and why I can't draw in anyone special.
My friend: There's not a damn thing wrong with you. All you got to do is be yourself.
I've known for quite some time what the theme for this year would be…
If you think dealing with issues like worthiness and authenticity and vulnerability are not worthwhile because there are more pressing issues, like the bottom line or attendance or standardized test scores, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. It underpins everything. ~Brene Brown
I've spent so much of my life people pleasing, not believing who I was and am is good enough. I've felt awkward, alone, like I didn't belong, like I was defective, some kind of accident. What I've come to realize, is that those qualities that I used to find so abnormal about myself, are indeed, ME. And ME is okay, just the way I Am.
I think there is some point between the time we are children and the time we actually begin our young adult journeys that we are told that who we are is not okay. This is either told to us implicitly or explicitly. Either some adult or authority figure told us we weren't good enough, or some life event instilled that belief in us. For those familiar with the 12-step framework, it is often here where we become "insane" or our lives become "unmanageable."
For me, it was the family diseases of alcoholism and codependency.
For example, when I would beg my dad not to drink and he would still drink; or if my parents would get into these horribly scary fights, I used to wonder…
Who do I have to be to stop my dad from drinking??
Who do I have to be to stop my parents from fighting??
I am now learning that there was no one I could have morphed into to stop any of that.
A few years ago, I started doing some inner child work that involved non-dominant hand writing. Pretty powerful stuff. My reason for mentioning this is because it brought me back to that cute, sweet, sensitive little girl that I was before the world got a hold of me. When I was reintroduced to my inner child, I fell in love with her. I wanted to take care of her, love her, protect her. I recognized that it was her that I had been running from, and in essence trying to get back to this whole time. Someone or something told me that she was not okay the way she was. But now that I found her, I never wanted to let her go. For this sweet child, this precious, sensitive beautiful child was me…my true self…my authentic self.
She is the part of ME that is closest to God.
I would recommend inner child work to anyone who is struggling with a lost sense of self. But my point is that there is nothing like getting in touch with who we really are.
And who I am is not always pleasant. But I'm aware of my areas for growth and can embrace those areas that may be considered less than good. My authenticity is about being true to myself first. Then, I can express that authenticity to others.
"Your life will be transformed when you make peace with your shadow. The caterpillar will become a breathtakingly beautiful butterfly. You will no longer have to pretend to be someone you're not. You will no longer have to prove you're good enough. When you embrace your shadow you will no longer have to life in fear. Find the gifts of your shadow and you will finally revel in all the glory of your true self. Then you will have the freedom to create the life you have always desired." ~Debbie Ford
It is when I am being my authentic self that I find that I draw in the most wonderful energy and people into my life.
Now of course with anything else, I don't have it all figured out. There are times when I'm more authentic than others, times I still struggle with belonging and fitting in, and wondering Who do I have to be? Sometimes, I still think of myself as defective; especially when it comes to things like romantic love, which continues to evade me. But the difference now is that I can always come back to that sweet, little girl that I got back in touch with during my inner child work. I've seen her, heard from her, spent time with her. So when I'm tempted to morph myself into someone else, I remind myself that there is no one like her. She is a unique and wonderful creation of God.
Authenticity. There is nothing like it in this whole world. That's because there is nothing and no one like the real you.
Happy New Year.
I Just Ended a 7 Year Relationship
"True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully
and walk humbly under the grace of God." -Bill W.
I just ended a 7-year relationship with a doctoral program.
At the beginning of this year, I received the most amazing news. The dissertation research project that I had poured my heart and soul into since 2009 since I began writing the dissertation had received IRB approval. I had been in the doctoral program since 2006. For those who aren't familiar with research at the University level, this is the pinnacle achievement prior to being able to collect data and move forward with entering the scholarly realms. This means that I have created a research study that is ethically sound and worthy of exploration.
How To Laugh Your Way To Health And Happiness
Laughter yoga! How interesting.
Originally posted on The Truth Warrior:
In our busy and stressful lives today, many of us have forgotten how to laugh and have fun. We can become consumed by the many things we have to do and we can end up taking ourselves and our lives too seriously. We all have worries, concerns and stresses however if we allow these things to control our lives we can potentially result in being unhappy and lack a sense of joy and peace within.
As you know I have been travelling India for the last few months and I have just recently completed a Laughter Yoga Teacher training. Initially I was a little sceptical of the benefits of this intriguing and funny yoga practice however having completed the training, I am convinced of its many benefits.

A true self poem
I usually don't write poetry, but I participated in a spiritual activity the other week where I was challenged to reflect on a time when I felt I was my true self. After the reflection, I was supposed to write a poem. So I thought I would share it here:
My true self stands before you
So free, so full of wonder
So beautiful, so kind, so gentle
And you were there for me,
You held your arms wide open,
held me close, and said,
"I will never leave you…you are not alone."
Composers, Comparisons and a Light bulb
One of my favorite movies of all time is Amadeus. In my essay, "Music and Beer, (p. 60)" I talk at length about being taken to see that movie by my music teacher when I was a young child, and how the movie began my love affair with classical music and my adoration of the brilliant composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. To this day, I feel love anytime I hear any of Mozart's music or play one of his pieces on my flute. I have told family members that I want Mozart's Requiem in D minor (the "unfinished" death mass featured at the end of the movie) played at my memorial service after I die. Yes, my love of the man, his music, and the movie Amadeus is intense.
As a child, seeing that movie, I could only process the music, the wild interpretations of the man, Mozart, his flamboyance, arrogance, brilliance, and genius. But there was a bigger picture to this movie that I did not discover until I became an adult.
Although certified as one of my favorite movies of all time, it had been awhile since I really sat down and watched Amadeus all the way through. I recently decided to revisit this movie, popping in the DVD with popcorn and peach pop; a southside Chicago girl's only way to visit the streets of Vienna–city of musicians. Once again, I became obsessed. But surprisingly enough, not with the man, Mozart, or the music, but with the underlying emotional and psychological themes that I was unable to extract from the movie as a child.
With all of its historical accuracy, the movie, Amadeus is largely a work of fiction. Based on the play by Peter Shaffer, the movie bears the name "Amadeus," but Mozart is not necessarily the main character. It is Antonio Salieri; a part fictional, part nonfictional representation of Vienna's court composer and Mozart's "nemesis," who is at the forefront of the movie (and the play–I recently saw the play as well, and it was a wondrous event). Salieri despises Mozart for his brilliance, genius, and his ability to compose the most "miraculous" of musical works with what seems like little effort. This composer-envy (albeit one-sided) builds throughout the movie and ultimately turns into complete hatred toward Mozart on the part of Salieri; for Salieri believes that Mozart is "God's muse" and that his music is the very "voice of God." Salieri only just wants to be a great composer, praying to God to "enter him" to create one piece of true music.
It was a battle between "mediocrity" and excellence.
But here's the truth. Salieri was a good composer. He was just unable to recognize his own worth and his own beauty as a composer, because he was wrapped up in his comparison with Mozart.
Comparison. Thief of joy. (paraphrased quote by Theodore Roosevelt)
This is something that we are all guilty of doing.
The character of Salieri felt that there was this intense competition with Mozart and constantly compared himself…and this whole competition and comparison took place in Salieri's head. It ultimately crippled and consumed him, and led him to the point of emotional destruction.
I started to reflect. How many times have I been so wrapped up in what others are doing; what they look like; what their accomplishments are; what their lives look like; how their lives are progressing?
This analysis of this movie is not new. But revisiting this movie as an adult put my own personal struggle with comparison into perspective. As mentioned before, the character of Salieri was a fine composer in his own way; he had his own unique style, and for goodness sake he was blessed by God to know music! How many people do not even know how to write one note? As I was watching his destruction unfold, I thought,
What a pity. If Salieri could have just focused on his own authenticity, instead of his own perceived inadequacy, he could have been great.
Damn. Sometimes it takes awhile for the light bulb to come on, and sometimes it comes on like a flash. I said to myself,
Michele, if you could just focus on your own authenticity, instead of your own perceived inadequacy, then you can be great.
And there it is.
What's funny is at that at the top of my goal list of things to let go of for 2014 is comparison. Be careful what you wish for. You never know what route your Higher Power may take to get you to where you need to go.
I Was Beautiful in 2013
Beautiful – excellent of its kind. wonderful; very pleasing or satisfying.
I never knew that I didn't know who I was. Or maybe I always knew, but there was so much emotional junk that needed to be removed for me to finally embrace who I am. As I have been on this path of emotional recovery and healing, I have discovered who I am. I am continually discovering who I am. The challenge I have found on this journey to my true-self, is acceptance. Since I have been in denial about my authenticity for so long, the challenge is loving myself and having the courage to share that authenticity with others.
This process of self-discovery has been a definite bumpy road. It has not and is not easy. Part of the reason is because I have had to accept the imperfect, less than the best parts of me as a path to learning that is a part of me as well. My ideal self makes all the right decisions, doesn't make mistakes, performs at the top of her game, and is good all the time. But discovering who I am has not been just about discovering the good parts. It has been about learning and trekking slowly toward accepting my weaknesses and areas of growth. It's about accepting the places that do not look so good along with the parts that look great and realizing it makes an awesome package.
This authenticity…the integration of the good and the bad, yes, I have come to the conclusion is quite beautiful.
The word beautiful – I believe is an active process. At first glance, something beautiful means that it is pleasing to the 5 senses; specifically what is pleasing in front of the eyes. While that may be a part of it, I believe that there are quite a few not so beautiful moments that lead a person, place or thing to being beautiful.
Beautiful has been my theme for 2013 because I have finally "seen it" within myself. I believe that I am beautiful…even if it is not affirmed or confirmed by anyone else.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart. -Helen Keller
There have been several not so beautiful moments or feelings that I have had to peel away. And in doing so, I have had a glimpse of my beautiful core. And now that I've seen it, I have something to reach for and remember on those days when external forces try to overshadow my beauty.
My hope is that everyone get that same glimpse of "beautiful" within themselves as we go forward to a new year. Thank you to everyone who has been with me, continued with me, and are just starting with me on this journey. I look forward to more "beautiful" to come.
She Had Known Me Forever
The January 2014 issue of Foliate Oak Literary Magazine is out. It's a beautiful issue in general…but specifically, it features my essay "She Had Known Me Forever" in the Creative Nonfiction section. This essay is my most emotionally profound to date, as I discuss the emotional aftermath of my sister's murder…and how that loss ultimately connected me with my best friend. Through the darkness, there is always light. I hope that you will enjoy and respect my vulnerability, as I share another delicate part of my story.
Cat and Mouse
"Remember, the two-legged and the four-legged are made by the same creator. We are relatives." -Cloud Dancing (from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman)
"No creature is undeserving of love. God reminds us of that." –Today's Gift from Hazelden
It had been a long week. For various reasons, I was feeling especially lonely and disconnected. That's kind of how the holidays have been for me. In and out of gratitude, comparison, joy, depression, back again to thankfulness, reflection, and back to hopelessness. Earlier in the week, I had spent time with my best friend, lost hope in what I thought was a promising romance, and learned of an upcoming publication success. The ups and downs of life. Nothing new. I came home Friday night, wanting to share my disappointments and successes with someone in my house. But there were more pressing issues that the people in my house had to share with me. I listened. I responded. I reacted. I worked: took out the garbage, started the car, brought water to my mom, washed the dishes, unstopped the toilet, swept the kitchen, fed the cat. I was needed. I started to wonder, if I didn't come home, would anyone really miss me? Perhaps if the dishes started piling up. I don't know. I wanted to run away. Perhaps starting over in another town would be good.
Okay, with the pity party over, I basically felt unappreciated, and codependently unable to ask for what I needed.
Of course the people who live with you are supposed to know what you need!
So Saturday, I slept. All day. My all day slumber was probably 50% depression, 30% exhaustion, 10% disappointment, and 10% guilt and shame for feeling the depression, exhaustion, and disappointment. Got up…ate…slept some more. I was checking out. Every time I felt a hint of emotional pain, I would turn over and sleep some more. It's not the most evolved way of dealing with feelings, but it's all I had yesterday. It was the best I could do. Toward the end of the evening, I emerged for a bit and spent time with my family…who were still quite self-focused. I watched a movie and then made a decision to not do this same thing again today. Sunday, I would get up, get dressed and go to church. Yes. Having somewhere to go will help.
That's where the funny part comes in…
I woke up early this morning feeling the same sadness and hopelessness that I felt yesterday. I said, forget it. Maybe I need just one more day of slumber. It's freezing outside anyway. I'm just going to turn over and go back to sleep.
The moment I turned over, there was my cat, Samson, on my bed, looking intently at something by his paw. He kept poking and poking at it. I thought it was a bug. But then, I saw the four legs…then the little tail…
It was a mouse!!
A dead mouse. The cold temperatures in Chicago have led those little mousey guys into our warm home. We have an old house and there are lots of cracks and crevices that those little guys sneak through. And my 10 year old cat, being the great mouser he is, caught that little guy, and brought him to his mama.
Disgusting yes. But two things happened here. Be careful what you wish for. Just a few days earlier, I had felt unappreciated. Here, my cat was showing me that not only did he appreciate me, that he loved me enough to bring me his prey to share.
The other thing that happened here was that I was so freaked out and disgusted by this dead mouse in my bed, that I was fully awake and no longer going to turn over and drown in my sorrows. If I was going to cry it out, I was going to cry it out among others. In church community. So I went to church, then took myself to breakfast. And then on to one of my favorite places…as I write this…I am at the library.
My problems unsolved, still feeling rather lonely, but among the living. Fulfilling my purpose through writing these words.
And it humbles me to think that God used two 4-legged creatures to communicate His message to me today:
You are Loved
Get your butt up and show that Love to others.
And so it is.

Electronic musician Ami Dang was sharing a two-bedroom apartment in Hampden when she emailed Britton Powell, of the band Humes, about booking a show together.
Powell invited Dang over to his place in the old Coward Shoe Building downtown on Howard Street, and mentioned he had a room or two to rent there. Curiosity piqued, Dang and her roommate decided to move in last May. There, Dang has her own bedroom, and shares a kitchen, living area and rehearsal spaces. As a whole, the living space is large and sparsely decorated, but Dang's bedroom is a burst of color.
"It's been an adjustment to live in a warehouse, but it's really nice to have all this space," Dang said. "It's a step up from living in a stuffy, carpeted two-bedroom apartment. Then again, I'm living with six other people and sharing a kitchen. We only have one shower with hot water. That actually hasn't been so bad. We don't actually fight for the bathroom, which is really good."

Remembering the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
|Workers feed an injured bird. Photo by USFWS
Denise Rowell, the public affairs specialist in our Panama City Field Office, and our Panama City biologists remember the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana. Eleven people lost their lives in the explosion, and life along the coast changed dramatically. As oil from the damaged well began flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, Service biologists were on high alert. The Gulf Coast region is a globally unique ecosystem that supports a high number of beach-nesting birds, such as sandwich terns, brown pelicans and Wilson's plovers. At the time of the spill, these species were on the verge of nesting season, and oil would be detrimental to the birds. Nesting sea turtles were also in grave danger, and the embattled species was at risk of losing an entire nesting season.

A Return to Sending; Post Office, Polluted on Sept. 11, Is Back in Business
By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Published: August 19, 2004
What could be more welcome than a line at a post office window?
Ordinarily, the sight causes hearts to sink. But at Church Street Station, New York, N.Y. 10007, it is a hopeful milestone, a sign that one more piece of the public realm in Lower Manhattan -- a vital and quite beautiful piece -- has returned to life.
Customers who have had to make do with a small mobile post office parked on Church Street can immerse themselves again in an Art Deco space that looks like the work of the emperor Hadrian as seen through the lens of Fritz Lang. Or Busby Berkeley.
Church Street Station reopened Monday, Aug. 2. Today, Postmaster General John E. Potter will formally reinaugurate the 67-year-old post office, at 90 Church Street, by unveiling an American flag that last flew there on Sept. 11, 2001. Folded and encased, the flag was displayed at Postal Service headquarters in Washington.
Now it has come home.
So has Emma Thornton, a letter carrier whose route for 27 years was floors 77 to 110 in 1 World Trade Center, the north tower, across Vesey Street from the post office, just outside the windows under which her sorting case used to stand, with pigeonholes labeled ''Cantor Fitzgerald 103 Fl'' and ''Windows on World 106'' and ''Carr Futures 92.''
She and other carriers were spared death and injury that morning because at 8:46 a.m., when the first hijacked jetliner screamed over the post office and burst into the north tower, they were still ''casing'' their mail, sorting it for delivery later in the day.
Until this month, Ms. Thornton and her co-workers were temporarily stationed at the James A. Farley Building, across Eighth Avenue from Pennsylvania Station. She said it took her about a year and a half after the attack to return even briefly to Lower Manhattan and then only because she had to deliver some express mail.
''The first thing I thought when I came up out of the subway, I thought, 'There's nothing but a big hole there,''' Ms. Thornton recalled. A big hole in the sky where she used to make her rounds. ''Then,'' she said, ''you've got to try to move on.''
As for her first full day back at 90 Church Street this month, she said: ''It wasn't too bad. I had a lot of mail.''
A lot of mail? Yes. Former tenants still receive several thousand pieces of mail daily through the trade center's own ZIP code, 10048, which comes through Church Street Station as Route No. 99, Ms. Thornton's assignment.
All told, Church Street handles 200,000 pieces of mail daily, roughly one-quarter of the amount before 9/11, said Dan Quinn, a spokesman for the Postal Service.
There are other stirrings of life at 90 Church Street, a 15-story structure that covers an entire block immediately north of ground zero, after a slow recovery in which it lost a key tenant, the Legal Aid Society.
Last weekend, the New York City Housing Authority finished returning 1,800 employees to eight floors of the building from temporary locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.
''Just to watch people coming and going about their daily business, in and out of the building, is a thrill,'' said Robert E. Selsam, a senior vice president of Boston Properties, the development manager of 90 Church Street under a lease from the Postal Service.
Other space has been rented to New York State for use by the Public Service Commission and the Health Department. By late next spring, the 1.1 million-square-foot building will be fully occupied, said Robert A. Schubert, a senior vice president at Boston Properties.
Boston Properties was just three months shy of completing an ambitious restoration of the limestone-clad building when the attack occurred. No one was injured at 90 Church Street and there was little structural damage. But it was extensively contaminated by asbestos, lead dust, fungi, fiberglass dust, mercury and bacteria.
''It was very difficult to determine the exact scope of cleanup that was necessary and then do it,'' Mr. Selsam said. ''After a lot of agonizing and testing, we determined that the only way to really clean the building up was to demolish all the interior walls.''
Because the extent of the cleanup is the subject of litigation with the insurers, Mr. Selsam said he could not put a dollar amount on the renovation costs. The architects are Swanke Hayden Connell, who were also responsible for the earlier renovation.
The original architects were Cross & Cross, perhaps best known for the Tiffany & Company flagship at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, and Pennington, Lewis & Mills.
They concocted modern spaces with neo-Classical flourishes, awash in green marble and other luscious stone, some embedded with nautilus shells, lighted softly through glass ceiling panels. Entering the post office is like stepping into some imperial aquarium.
Lest any visitor -- or voter -- forget whom to thank for this lavish public work, the cast of characters was posted boldly in cast-aluminum letters on the north and south lobby vestibules: ''This building was erected during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the United States of America; Henry Morgenthau Jr., secretary of the treasury; James A. Farley, postmaster general.'' And so on.
So much of this original architectural fabric is in place, and in such pristinely restored condition, that it is almost possible to forget what happened across Vesey Street.
But reminders are everywhere, even in the postal store, which sells stamps and philatelic keepsakes featuring the celebrated photograph of three firefighters raising the flag at ground zero, by Thomas E. Franklin of The Record of Hackensack, N.J.
Some reminders have been taken away, including a hand-cancellation stamp reading ''New York NY Church St Sta 10007 USPS / Sep 11 2001'' and a register receipt recording the purchase of $87.54 in postage at 8:47 a.m. that morning, the last transaction at Church Street Station for nearly three years.
These and other objects were acquired by the National Postal Museum in Washington, part of the Smithsonian Institution, after stormy debates among staff members about the propriety of doing so.
Nancy A. Pope, a historian at the museum, was at first in the anti-acquisition camp, arguing that the site was sacred and inviolable. The other camp, including Jeffrey Brodie, a staff member, said that the museum, as a repository, had an obligation to collect 9/11-related artifacts.
Once she was convinced, Ms. Pope knew what she wanted: a hand-cancellation stamp. What put that in her mind was another stamp in the collection, dated Dec. 6, 1941, from the battleship Oklahoma, which was destroyed the next day at Pearl Harbor.
''Just with the date, it gives you those chills,'' Ms. Pope said. She and Mr. Brodie also wanted a sorting case. ''That's a physical manifestation of the companies and the people at the World Trade Center,'' she said. ''This would be one way of remembering who was lost, at some level.''
On his visit to Church Street Station in October 2001, Mr. Brodie found Ms. Thornton's case. Today, the main unit of the case is on display at the Postal Museum. A side unit is on loan to the Durham Western Heritage Museum in Omaha.
Of course, Ms. Thornton has a new sorting case, not that she would have missed the original for too long anyway. At the age of 60, after 33 years in the postal service, having watched the World Trade Center go up and come crashing down, she plans to retire in January to her home in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
Though her glances out the Vesey Street windows toward ground zero tend to be wordless, as if she can still see things she would rather not, Ms. Thornton has a simpler reason for leaving Church Street Station just as it has reopened.
''I'm tired,'' she said, ''of getting up at 3:30 in the morning.''

GOVERNMENT has launched the digital migration policy to help scale up the implementation process and ensure a people-driven migration agenda.
Information and Broadcasting Services Minister, Joseph Katema also called for an all-inclusive participation by stakeholders to ensure success in the implementation of the digital migration.
Dr Katema expressed confidence that Zambia would migrate before the June 17, 2015 deadline set by the United Nations International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and shift from analogue to digital television broadcasting.
"With input and support from all stakeholders, as evidenced by this gathering here today, Government is confident that Zambia will successfully migrate on, or before the set deadline," Dr Katema said.
He said digital migration was important because under the current analogue terrestrial television, one frequency carried one programme channel, whereas Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) used one frequency to carry multiple programme channels thereby allowing for transmission of many television programmes using fewer frequencies and lower cost.
Dr Katema was speaking in a speech read for him by Information and Broadcasting Services deputy Minister, Poniso Njeulu at the launch of the digital migration policy at new Government Complex in Lusaka yesterday.
Dr Katema said the purpose of the policy is to ensure that migration from analogue to digital benefits the people and leads to more services and broader coverage.
"The policy provides guidelines on the national technical standards for transmission and compression, market structure and licensing framework, content service provision and signal distribution," he said.
He directed the Zambia Information and Communication Technology Authority (ZICTA) and the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) to put in place standards and regulations to facilitate the smooth transition from analogue to digital and on how best the media and production houses could work together.
IBA director general Josephine Mapoma thanked the Government for launching the policy.
"Anxiety on digital migration has gripped the public as little is known about it. The launch marks a vigorous public awareness campaign on digital migration and therefore I congratulate the government for the launch," she said.
Meanwhile, Government has urged media practitioners in the country to strive to stick to the truth in their reporting because it was only the truth that would guarantee them freedom and protection.
Mr Njeulu said Government supported freedom of Information and not freedom of misinformation.
Mr Njeulu was speaking at a one-day media stakeholder's conference as part of the activities to commemorate the 2014 World Press Freedom Day
at Mulungushi International Conference Centre yesterday.
The meeting was attended by some members of the civil society, political parties, veteran journalists and other members of the journalism fraternity.
He said media houses and practitioners that would like to thrive on lies and malicious gossip would be known for what were as liars, and people would shun their news apart from being sued by those offended.
"So l urge media practitioners in the country to stick to the truth in their reporting because it is only the truth that will guarantee them freedom," he said.
Mr Njeulu reaffirmed Government's determination to enacting the Access to Information Bill.
He said the ATI Bill process was currently underway and Government was doing everything possible to ensure it was a reality.
Earlier World Press Freedom Day national organising chairperson Henry Kabwe called for the upholding of the freedom of the press in Zambia.

Picture: Angelina Jolie 13th Annual Critics' Choice Awards at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium - Arrivals Los Angeles, California - 07.01.08
LATEST: A Cambodian aid organisation has rubbished allegations "hundreds of thousands of dollars" donated by Angelina Jolie have been stolen. It was recently claimed Jolie had broken an agreement after she stopped sending funds to Cambodian Vision In Development. On Monday (30OCT06), Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt's philanthropic and political advisor TREVOR NEILSON responded that no agreement had been terminated. He said, "No agreement was broken. There was no reneging on any commitment. "The sad reality is that this person who made these allegations was fired because we believe (he) stole." Neilson did not reveal whether any legal action would be taken against Cambodian Vision In Development to try and get back the allegedly stolen money. But MOUNH SARATH, director of Cambodian Vision In Development, says, "(We) will fight any lawsuit to find out the truth and to see if they have any documented proof of the money stolen." Jolie had since started up the Maddox Jolie Project, which is named after her eldest child, Cambodian-born MADDOX, five.

Butterfly Windsock Craft
Contributed by
- tissue/crepe paper (whatever color you like)
- string
- printer,
- something to color with,
- scissors,
- glue,
- paper
Tip from our viewers: You
can make this craft using fun foam instead of paper (just trace the template pieces onto the fun foam) and strips of colored plastic instead
of crepe paper (we used a white plastic trash bag and cut it into
strips). This makes a wind sock that you can proudly display outside
all summer long without worrying about it being ruined by the rain!
It makes a lovely gift for mother's day.
- Print two copies of the first template (or just use a couple pieces of colored paper).
- Color, as appropriate, and cut out to remove the white edges (the printer won't print an entire sheet of paper so there are white edges).
- Glue or tape them together to make one long strip of paper
- Print one copy of the second, third and fourth templates.
- Color, as appropriate, and cut out.
- On the long strip, create the butterfly's face:
- Glue the mouth on the bottom of the face
- Glue on the eyes and nose
- Attach the ends of the long strip to make a tube.
- roll the antennas around a pencil to make them curly and glue them to the top of the head
- Glue or tape strips of crepe paper or tissue paper to the bottom of the tube so they rustle in the wind
- Staple the string to the top and hang up.
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Montage of soldiers reuniting with their families will make you cry
I'm convinced Carter, my colleague, is evil and likes making me cry at work.
I'm a sucker for heartwarming animal videos, but nothing sends the tears flowing like a video of a soldier not just reuniting with his (or her) family, especially in a surprise way.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's not just one or two of those touching reunion videos, but DOZENS of them, edited into a 7-minute montage with inspirational pop songs and the subplot of a soldier away on duty.
I can't even. I watched the entire thing, and I'm toast.
I need a hug.

With just over a month to go in the Marikana Commission of Inquiry, two important testimonies have continued this week looking at very different causes of the violence. The mysterious Mr X pains a picture of violent mineworkers who likely forced police to fire as a last resort to save their lives. Mr White, however, looks at how the cops got into the situation in the first place and even then, was firing live ammunition at the mineworkers really the last resort? By GREG NICOLSON.
The police's line at the Commission has been fairly consistent. There's been some division that suggests they've tried to protect senior officers or use scapegoats, but their key argument is that individual officers felt their lives were under threat and they used live ammunition on the striking mineworkers when their disperse and disarm plans went awry.
To back this up, they've brought in Mr X. For months, we wondered what impact his testimony would have on the inquiry into the 44 people killed in Marikana in the week to 16 August 2012. Even the name "Mr X", a mineworker who participated in the violence but cannot be identified for fear of reprisals, evokes mystery. Halfway...

AS ARCTIC sea ice breaks apart, huge amounts of methane could be released into the atmosphere from the cold waters beneath - leading to even faster Arctic warming.
Eric Kort of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and his colleagues flew over the Arctic Ocean in 2009 and 2010 as part of a project to systematically map greenhouse gas levels. They found patches of methane in remote regions, far from known methane sources such as melting permafrost (Nature Geoscience, DOI: 10.1038/ngeo1452).
The methane may have been made by marine bacteria trying to survive in waters that don't have many nutrients in the form of nitrates.
Kort detected methane above cracks in the sea ice and above places where the ice had broken up. This could be because methane only escapes from agitated water, says Ellen Damm of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany. This agitation is most likely to occur when autumn sets in and ice crystals start forming in the water, creating turbulence.
It is too early to say how significant this effect will be on climate warming, says Euan Nisbet, an earth scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.
