Adult step daughter, divide and conquer?Submitted by ojykceb on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 11:30pm
How do I recognize actual attempts by an adult step child to divide and conquer. Really, i have soooo many questions and situations and I am not really sure why i decided to start here. However, today, in an effort to save my otherwise amazing relationship I started researching my issues. I often feel crazy as a result of my situation but after today, I have learned I am not. I learned that people all over have the same experiences and I am happy to have found this website. I have felt extremely distrustful in the past and wondered if the SD is purposefully trying to pit us against each other. i would like to know what tactics are commonly used by adult steps to divide and conquer. i am trying to eliminate the paranoid thoughts that I have allowed myself to develop. Any help?
no two stepkids are alike.
no two stepkids are alike. Why don't you tell us some of the situations you are experiencing. Not only will it give us a basis to try to decifer your situation, but will be ve3ry theraputic for you as well.
I was soooo disappointed. I
I was soooo disappointed. I waited up for what seemed like forever last night waiting for all of your answers. Today, I just logged in and it is like everyone of you KNOW what has been going on. What step aside describes, is exactly the experience I have had. They already have dad believing I am starting to lose it. Just hearing this from all of you almost makes the sitch tolerable as it is. The SD has done all of the things, ALL OF THEM tha STepAside described. As a result, I have stepped into the trap of successfully becoming the truly Wicked Stepmonster. My honey, bless his heart, loves us all. He seems to think that time will fix everything. I actually felt....a lot like not living this past week when everything came to a head for us. I have since been learning about invalidation and the damage it causes. I have learned I am not crazy and those of you on here, in just a matter of hours, have helped a lifetime. Thanks all of you. I have long ways to go, but I know I am headed in the right direction.
Since I have 3 amazingly
Since I have 3 amazingly skilled manipulating adult stepdaughters, I have a few things to add to the list.
- Secrecy. They thrive in it. They call him on his cell during work hours primarily. They never call our house. They only talk to him when I'm not in the room. I've heard OSD call him before when I was in the room, and I could hear her ask right off, "Is StepAside there?". As soon as he says yes, she says she'll talk to him later. The more they can manage to get DH to keep from me, the more success they feel they have.
- Emotional Blackmail. When they don't get what they want, they'll resort to it every time. They want to win at all costs. And when they don't, they naturally blame me. Many of the things they want from DH come at a cost to me and our kids as well. That's not a consideration when they are trying to pressure him. They use the same series of tactics pretty often. First they'll ask. Then they'll whine. Then they'll tell other family members, so that they'll intervene on their behalf. Then they'll berate him and blame me. Then when that doesn't work, they pull out the big guns. They'll tell him it's like he's not their father anymore and they'll avoid him. Or they'll threaten not to visit him. Or they'll stop coming around altogether. All of these tactics worked really well for most of their lives. But I think even my DH is finally growing tired of all their drama.
- Jealousy. I realize that they may have some insecurities from having their parents split 20 YEARS ago, but they really need to get over it. They've always been in competition with me for DH's attention. They've never recognized that he remarried. They do not respect my position as his wife. They all believe they are to be treated as princesses, or he can go to hell. That makes it terribly difficult to have normal relations with them when they are constantly trying to prove their value in his eyes. He rarely sees them, but in my presence they still may sit on his lap, call him "daddy", talk about the most personal stuff with him, bring up times when they were a family with BM, etc. Doesn't phase me anymore, but it's just tiring. Every time it happens, the only thing I want to yell is, "Get your own life please!!!" When someone has an agenda, you can not relax. It's not comfortable to be around someone who has one. When everyone is considerate of everyone else, only then is the relationship appealing. And they constantly make their presence unappealing.
- Gossip. If one of the adult children feels slighted, she'll tell every relative they have about it. By now, DH and I are the resident black sheep in his family. HA! They are the black sheep in MY family and I no longer care what they think of me. But this scenario plays out all the time! It's another way of putting pressure on DH to get what they want. But I certainly have not appreciated being maligned by them. And for many years, DH would occasionally question his loyalty to me and their attempts would work. That doesn't happen anymore, but when it did, I felt so betrayed.
My adult SS 35 and adult SD
My adult SS 35 and adult SD 33 still employ most of these same tactics and they are almost 10 years older than yours! Unbelievable! They display jealousy but it is more directed at our BDs than me! They openly ignore me in my own home, are deliberatley rude, or tell my husband ugly things about me - call names etc. The only real complaint that they have made about something I did to them was the fact that I spent more on Santa for BDs than I did on them as grown adults. Why they think that I would let BDs have less as minors in order to give their ungrateful rude selves more is beyond me! Besides, why would I use my money on anyone that was openly rude to me and that calls me names!
In my case SS is no differant than the SD! SS more than SD gossips with DH's entire family - even those that he can't stand in an attempt to alleinate DH's family from us. DH and I feel that any of DH's family members that entertain such garbage out of his mouth after his known track history of outrageous behavior to his father is no loss to our family and we will continue to cut those family members from our lives!
Both SS and SD are masters at emtional blackmail - ex. I won't talk to you if you don't XXXXXXX. DH, myself and BDs are so over it! Skids of course learned how to do this as children from BM!
Thye also have tried secrecy but DH tells me everyting anyway so I guess this never really worked for them with us.

My 23-yr-old said a bunch of
My 23-yr-old said a bunch of hateful crap to DH about me not too long ago. I sent her a message letting her know that I was aware of it. She lied and denied it all. And she also argued that her conversations with her daddy are private and not meant for my ears.
I responded by telling her that privacy is a huge problem in their family. Everybody talks smack about everybody else when they aren't around and it only leads to feelings of betrayal and divide.
If they don't want DH to repeat it, perhaps they'll shut their traps. Honestly, what do they hope to accomplish?
Here's what I don't understand. All this manipulation, secrecy and betrayal only works when others play along. How about complete transparency? If my kid were doing what your SS does, I think I'd have a talk with him about his behavior. Call it like it is. Or the next time he stabs me in the back to my own family, how about scheduling a family meeting so everybody can talk about it. Expose him enough times, and he'll get sick of the repercussions of his behavior.
My DH is the same way. I've asked him before, why doesn't he tell his kids how much he hates their behavior? How about telling them how much he is disappointed with their lies, or their manipulation, or their games. Seriously, if he'd tell them how he feels, maybe they'd do it less. But it's so quick to stay silent, that it just goes on and on.
I think we have the same
I think we have the same step-daughter.....
Thank you!!!! The validation
Thank you!!!! The validation here is sooo healing. These are them. You hit the nail on the head! And this one, this SD, she's a pro. The BM, that is a different issue entirely!
Emotional blackmail....sheesh...you hit the nail on the head. I can totally relate. My Stepkids have been doing this for years. Now that they are young adults, it continues...I thought it would get better as they get older...it has gotten worse. They are now 19 (SD) and 21 (SS) and havent been around for over 2 years because they are "punishing" dad for not bowing to their every whim. Their mother has always supported their total lack of consideration/respect for their father. She's done a good job of PAS. My husband was a doormat for many years and when he finally said no more...well, they just wouldn't have it. It's unbelievable...you described my sitch to a tee. Then they have the audacity to send my husband tuition bills expecting him to pay for these high priced private schools they pick...out of state to boot so they lose grant money...and did not include my DH in any of the decision making. They're learning the hard way that there are consequences for their actions. DH finally is saying..no more. We have two other young adults at home (my bio children) who are 20 and 17 and are respectful and know there are rules. We have a great relationship with them and I feel bad for my DH that his bio children treat him so poorly (and they to do the behind the back with all the relatives thing...everyone is so...those poor children...they had to go through all this with a divorce...pity party ...pity party). I'm sick of it. Sorry, I'm tired of pretending I'm longing for them to return to our family. There has been no drama, no tension between DH and I, no constact bickering about what THEY and their mother want. Why would I miss that. It is just so infuriating however to see my wonderful husband treated this way....uggghhhhhhhhh! Sorry, thanks for listening.
I feel exactly the way you
I feel exactly the way you do. My adult skids haven't talked to their father in almost a year and a half because he refused to give them his inheritance when they demanded it. Your college experience sounds similar to ours also. This is how ours turned out.
My husband when presented with the youngest skids college fees was unable to pay at that time due to a downward turn with his work - meaning at that time he was not able to pay himself if he wanted to keep his business afloat! He knew better than to ask me for it as I was picking up all of the slack (above the higher $ amount that I usually take care of) and was also paying for all of our new BD's childcare costs, formula, diapirs , drs, etc! Add to this the fact that this skid barely acknowledged me or BD at this time I don't know why they would think that I would chose to take care of her over my own baby.
This stepchild seeems to have never gotten over this! I do do not understand this sense of entitlement as I earned scholarships, grants, took out loans that I paid off, and worked to go to college as I did not want to ask my Dad for money.
Any financial advisor will tell you to not overlook saving for your retirement in lieu of saving for college as there are alternatives to paying for college and none for retirement!
Schild's spouse even made the verbal crack that BF owed him over 40 K because that is what it supposedly cost him to send his wife (SD) through college! I quess they expected him to pay after she was married also! Tuiiton to the school she attended was cheap since it was a small state school - about 4K for 30 hours or two semesters so it looks like they expected him to pay not only for all of the tuition but some of their shared living expenses too. What the heck! Why was BM not included in this?
I also agree with you that I do not miss the drama etc. I am enjoying the peace and I really don't care how hard they manipulate, try to blackmail, or gossip behind our backs, I will do my best to keep myself and my BDs insulated from it!. I really do not see this getting better for the primary reason that Skids have dug themselves into such a hole this time that there really is no way out of it. They have been exposed to multiple parties as the selfish human beings that they are and have made such fools of themselves that I really don't think that they can redeem themselves without a public apology and I don't see that coming any time soon!

My SD is as manipulative as
My SD is as manipulative as her BM. SD moved in with us in 1997 after she was punished by BM for staying out all night after her high school graduation. Of course BM being the neurotic she is, didn't know when to end the punishment. She took SD's car from her and refused to give it back. SD was working full time. After a few days, SD moved in with us. BM still withheld the car for another couple of weeks and went so far as to put a for sale sign on it, telling SD she wasn't ever getting the car back (which was great considering we were having to commute her back and forth to work 35 minutes away and there were 2 other children in the home that were still in school). In the end, DH had to go out and buy SD ANOTHER car. Hence how SD came to live with Daddy. After 2 years of her trying to run the house and putting up with her entitled attitude not to mention her total disrespect and her thinking she could have sex in her bedroom across the hall from our 6 year old BS, we had a huge confrontation. She, not willing to accept any wrong doing on her part and unable to apologize for anything or follow the rules, she moved in with her boyfriend. Soon after, DH received an email from her laying out why she felt it necessary to leave. She was tired of not being shown respect. How I clearly was jealous of her because of her achievements and financial stature at such a young age(LOL) and how she felt it unfair that she had to buy her own personal items (tampons, shampoo, razors, etc.). Now, to hear it told, the reason she moved in with DH was to finally after all the years of hell from BM to keep her from her dad, she decided to move in with daddy so they could finally have a relationship! OMG!! AND....how now, instead of it being BM interfering, it was now me, the wicked, wicked SM!! Well, that was 11 years ago, and there is still NO relationship.........I refuse to take the blame for her lack of trying. I have NEVER stepped between SD and her father, he has told her and SS that he doesn't know what more to do to have a relationship with them, after all they can't return a phone call and the only time we ever saw them was when we made the effort. OLD STORY...NEW DAY ))
stepaside wow you hit it on
stepaside wow you hit it on the nail. Did you write this or get it out of a book. GREAT!
...I think the negative drama
...I think the negative drama they all share is a toxic type of bond that keeps them all prisoners of their very own man-made delusions...A very unhealthy soul tie....that I am not a part of because I did not help create the brokeness in their lives...It was a pre=existing condition when I arrived...I really don't think they know who they are without it...It has literally become who they are, as a family...and most people I know make their decisions based on their identity/ and their personal core beliefs...it's deep seeded, and without an accurate remedy...they remain prisoners of their own toxic thinking, it becomes a core belief...(Their reality)...although it is self created, and probably based on pain-inflicted experiences from their unhealthy family unit...
I think many of the issues I read about on this site, are all symptoms of a WAY deeper problem...They are all the same ( to some degree) when you get down to it...For the life of me I have been searching what the deeper root issue is....I know the one common denominator we all have is that we have chosen to marry divorced men who have pre-existing children/with many unresolved issues ...therefore, creating all these SYMPTOMS... you can't keep beating your head up against a SELF-INFLICTED symptom, and expect things to get better...because if the root issue is not dealt with...another symptom pops up...( wearing a different mask)...and the cycle begins to repeat itself over and over... where as a stepmom, you feel trapped on a merry-go-round, with these people... that you cannot get off from unless you totally disengage...Well I have disengaged (after 25 years) because, as adults now... none of them seem be working on their own issues...What the real issues are....So, I figured, if I pulled myself out completely....they would have to eventually, at the very least turn their hate toward someone else...Well I had a huge epiphany, and I now realize I will NEVER EVER return to the merry-go-round, ever-again...nor am I going to waste any more of this precious life God gave me...just sitting there watching them go round and round getting nowhere...It's like watching a bad rerun of the movie Groundhog day... over and over and over...People that have something fundamentally wrong/ and the process of dealing with it has proven a complete disaster... built into them because of their toxic experiences as a result of being a dysfunctional family unit before I arrived...The Merry go round re-experience of a process reoccurring, that produces harmful emotional and relational results/that allow no one the opportunity to move forward or get off the ride all together...the only one preventing you from disengaging is you...just jump off and change your focus as to not give the toxic process any attention whatsoever...
I'm quite uninterested in subjecting myself to that abusive process now, and have communicated with my H how I feel...He is finally seeing it for what it is...They still try to put Him in a position of choosing between Me or them and their process, because it is all they know...after 25 plus years you would think they would get it...but...it goes back to their identity and their core beliefs.....they have now lowered themselves to the predictable move of pulling away the grandchildren. (A manipulative tactic taught to them by their BM) Well He has chosen...as we both leave the merry-go-round, hand in hand, running to try and catch a sunset or two...leaving all of them still on it spinning and spinning...as I look at him and say "How long do you think it will be before they notice we've left"? Then I catch myself and.... I think to myself...."That's not my problem anymore"....you can't help someone who won't let you...You can only work on yourself at getting free...and God helps me with staying Free...
»My only regret "what took me soooo long?".....Catch a sunset while you still have time...In other words.."Enjoy your husband and the season of life you are in... while you still can"... I release these people from all the pain and rejection they have shown me...Yes..I have forgiven..but I choose healthy boundaries now, and they will have to answer to God for their choices now...

Well said.....this is a light
Well said.....this is a light bulb moment for me. I often feel a certain way and because I have no one to share it with, without sounding like a wicked SM I feel alone and even childish in my thoughts. But you just nailed it, thank you
I have recently stepped off the Merry-go-round, its a process but I'm getting there.
I have two adult steps, SS25 and SD23 I have been with Hubby since the skids were 5 and 2 ....its the SD who is toxic and it is a behaviour learnt from BM, nothing short of manipulative. Her mother kept the SK away from us at a younger age for 4 years (we couldn't find them or afford to find them) because we couldn't have the kids Friday night,but planned instead to pick them up Sat morning. Just one example of her selfish manipulative ways. Only God knows what was said to the kids in this time they were away from us? To cut a long story short, the relationship we had with the SK has never been the same and I would imagine never will be.
I need to sort the healthy boundries out....I have always wanted to be liked and I know now that is not as important as me liking myself.
You have three! OMG I feel
You have three! OMG I feel sorry for you. I have one that can represent three; you wouldn't need another? Just kidding!
She very well may be trying
She very well may be trying to pit you and your husband against each other and why its important you communicate with husband well, so she can't. You and your husband will have to be untited so she can't find any cracks to wiggle in and cause problems in your marriage.
Until you and husband are untited... it will not be a good idea to see her. If you have to, seek counseling... meaning if your unable to communicate with your husband as you should be able to discuss your concerns with him and have plans to circumvent the problem if you see her starting to try to make problems.
I have done so and he so
I have done so and he so disbelieved it. It almost worked. But, this week I have learned about invalidation and have come to the conclusion that I have already done all the wrong things for all the right reasons and am ok with that. I will continue to do research and see if there is anything I can do that is positive. I love my man very much and I agree with the un-united thing. He doesn't see it, he wants to see the absolute best in everyone. I am however, disallowing the invalidation of my feelings and taking him kicking and screaming into an education of what that is and the damage it causes (along with me of course) We are worth saving, for now.
Oh, and I don't have to worry about seeing her. She only comes on Christmas and at time she knows I am not at home.
All these SD's must be
All these SD's must be related to mine, also.
An addition to StepAside's
An addition to StepAside's list:
Denial: Also known as "make SM believe she is crazy." SD's behave in inapprorpiate ways and then deny everything to make the point that YOU are "lying because you hate them" and "want to break apart the family." A variant on this is when adult SDs behave inappropriately when you are alone with them, and then act completely angelic in the presence of others.
Oh yeah, that's a good one.
Oh yeah, that's a good one. Or downplay, ridicule or reject the SM's claims. Been there a few hundred times as well.
I spent a week in my MIL's home town. My 3 darling stepangels took a pact not to even look at me. They refused to speak to me. When we got off the plane (DH, our son and myself), I said hello and they spun to show me their backs. I saw them various times at MIL's house (I stayed in a hotel, thank God!, with BS). The tension was so thick. My MIL pretended not to notice. To this day, she claims her grandbabies have never shown me disrespect in her home. And this was just one time. It's happened numerous times.
My response to her is.... if you can't guarantee that your guests have a peaceful time in your home, than you don't need to be a hostess and I won't be your guest. And my kids don't go anywhere with me. So, it's her choice. But we're not part of her game.
So many enablers to atrocious behavior. The excuses go on and on. But denial is a great one. I'm familiar with that as well.
This one almost worked,
This one almost worked, until yesterday.....
That one almost worked.
That one almost worked.
Oh I hear you on divide and
Oh I hear you on divide and conquer. OSD arranged a weekend alone coming up on the 23rd for her and her Dad. I hate the secrecy. A few weeks ago DH asked if he could go see her alone and I was fine with it then as DS and I had other plans and wouldn't be able to. Boom! His daughter was busy and couldn't see him that weekend (lives 3 hours away) and they set up plans which excluded me and DS. I wasn't asked if it was ok if he went alone on this trip. The whole stepchildren thing has made me paranoid because of my husband's secrecy with them. I would never have known about the trip on the 23rd if my husband hadn't been acting strange and I hadn't seen the text messages on his phone with my own two eyes. I am tired of hearing that the stepchildren are not trying to leave me out. It's like my husband can't wait to use them all as an excuse to "get away" when we have difficulties in our marriage. My family lives out of state and I don't have anyone to run to when I'm uptight and unhappy. It forces me to deal with things unlike my coward spouse.
Given my spouse works 2nd shift, we only have weekends together unless I want to stay up past 11 at night to see him and get little sleep. I rise at 6:30 a.m. to start my day and get my DS off to school. Some days I feel like we are more like roommates than husband and wife and I ask myself why instead of blending our families together and forcing the children to accept I'm #1, he gives them a lot of individual time and makes my son and I feel like second rate citizens. Hubby honestly thinks he is doing nothing wrong. I told him last night he is not single anymore after finding out he's planned a spring trip to see his oldest daughter where I'm allowed to come but they've decided on the activities. I feel so special!
OSD and I have had many conflicts in the past and I think she only tolerates me for her Dad's sake, same for the others I guess. It would be more of a relief for them to just say they can't stand me than to play mind games of "You can come over. No, you can't." Part of me thinks my DH doesn't want me there when he visits them so he can play Disney World Dad and make them feel special without upsetting me. Does that make sense? It's just sad as I don't understand why grown adult children can be so clingy to their own father when they all are married with children but the youngest son.
You know it's bad when your husband won't tell you if he's in contact with his kids. The cell phone bill is in my name so I can tell when they are in touch and scheming when the bill comes out each month. Husband never used to lie to me about when they called or texted or what they talked about. I know I have issues with trust and he keeps giving me more reason not to trust him when it comes to his children.
Me (41). DH (53). Married since May 2007. DS (9) from my 1st marriage where that husband is deceased. I have 6 grown stepchildren who do not live with us: SD (32), SS (29), SS (29), SD (26), SD (22) and SS (18). DH has been married twice before me.
***** Follow me on my blog! Me (41). DH (54). Married since May 2007. DS (9) from my 1st marriage where that husband is deceased. I have 6 grown stepchildren who do not live with us. 4 biological and 2 my DH helped raise with his 2nd wife.
My DH used to confide in his
My DH used to confide in his stepdaughters when we were having problems. So they just saw one side. They thought he was an angel and I was the problem. So they are defensive of him. But what he wasn't realizing was, that he was training pit bulls who he would eventually lose control of. Now they don't want to be in my presence. That makes holidays particularly hard for him, since now he has to choose.
Your DH is doing the same thing and it's just so damned dumb. I see my dad allllll the time! I didn't used to get along with my SM. But a long time ago, I decided I wanted to have him in my life so if that meant including her, so be it. No, if they weren't married, I wouldn't be hanging out with her. We don't have much in common at all. But accepting her position makes my life soooo much easier. She doesn't feel threatened. I don't exclude her. And since I don't go out of my way to exclude her, my dad and I get plenty of time together when she leaves during our visits, like to go to work or see her friends.
Your DH is making life so much harder for everyone, including himself, by continuing to feed the divide. He can HAVE a huge loving family, where everyone gets along, if HE stops playing the game and puts his foot down. What he's doing is nuts. Nobody loses when the hostility ends and everybody wins. My dad knows this first hand. And so do I.
Unfortunately, my DH can't put his foot down with his kids. He sees the divide that he's created and regrets it. But he's having a really hard time turning it around. I think he could be more firm, but I don't think he's got it in him.
Anyway, it's really sad how these men cut off their noses to spite their faces. Including you doesn't mean they lose him. They'd see him more most likely. But by playing the games they are playing, they lose and you lose. And that means your DH is losing as well. Just so dumb.
How about, "Hey kids, you're grown now. Come over this Saturday for some dinner and let's play cards." Instead of trying to work out everyone's schedule so that everyone can control who sees who. What a waste of energy.
My husband also shares issues
My husband also shares issues with his kids. This did not start until this year while he and I are under a tremendous amount of financial stress and pressure. Up until this past year, for 12 years we've had virtually no problems. We have always stood together on any issues where the kids were concerned. I met him when his two children were 6 and 8 and my daughter was 10. We had one of our own after we married who is now 9 and they are 19, 21 and 23. only the 9 year old is at home. Due to this financial pressure, he, who was the bread winner has taken a huge hit to his sense of manhood and his ability to take care of his family so I understand his anger and frustration but when we have a disagreement he turns mean emotionally and then ends up feeling so bad after but before he feels bad he calls his adult children and talks badly about me. His kids jump on the opportunity to bash me and end up inflaming the situation. It has started to be a habit with him as he won't dream of talking to anyone else as the friends and family we have know that it 's all based on the stress and pressure and would remind him of that.
I don't know how to deal with it with him or his kids. I am mortified at how this has all turned out and will from now on find it so difficult to be in the same room with either of them.
Wow! Yes the secrecy is
Wow! Yes the secrecy is brutal. And, your use of coward, I had been staying away from that one, but it hits home and that is that last thing I want to believe about that wonderful man of mine. I am finding that the most hurtful part of all of this is it won't stop as long as it is tolerated and his inaction "tolerates" it. I had such high hopes of loving my stepkids and them, me. After being slapped down at the school of hard knocks I figured out that idea was shot to hell.
Yes the secrecy is indeed
Yes the secrecy is indeed brutal and I swear it has made me paranoid. All phone calls my husband makes to his daughter are when I am not around. He denies that, but it is true. Half the time if she calls when I'm around he won't answer it - says he doesn't want to hear her "wants and demands." He used to text frequently to her and I learned a LOT from reading those - all money related - secretly giving it to her behind my back even though she is horrible to me. Our counselor told him he was leading his own private life with the phone. I called cell phone co and took text messaging off his phone.

I assume you're female. The
I assume you're female.
The solution is very simple. You ignore the adult kid and their antics.
You concentrate on your hubby and your relationship with him.
Your spouse may appear to agree with a off-spring but his actions are what counts. He's married to you and you have no complaints about how he's treating you. Stop feeling like you have to defend yourself. It takes two to play this game and if you stop participating the game comes to an end.
I've observed humans for 70 years and dogs for 10. I prefer the dogs.
Yes I am female. And, that
Yes I am female. And, that is great advice, though at this point, I honestly don't think I am mature enough to adhere to it.
My SD tried hard to divide
My SD tried hard to divide us... she did so by trying to control us...
got to the point of her asking for things like: a cough drop, just to make us do something for her.
She is always trying to come up with ways to control us.
We have top watch it and make plans BEFORE going to meet her as she will try to take control of the plans and what we will do. We find its better to meet her somewhere, letting her drive herself in case she has a fit.
When we invite her over, its going to be limited to a time frame starting at 30 minutes, then going to an hour, then to 2 hours.. which will be the max time
we visit with her and husband and I are going to stay together, so she cannot try to divide us.
We have to do this to not allow her to control us.
Hopefully she will tire of trying and give it up but I know its not going to be anytime soon.

Bad Oxygen Sensor:
This detects oxygen levels in your exhaust and lets your vehicle know how much gasoline is being burned. Faulty sensors can cause a significant drop in gas mileage because the sensor send incorrect information to your vehicle's onboard computer. This sensor can be repaired or replaced at a fairly low cost.
Bad Mass Airflow Sensor
This sensor is under your hood and tell's your vehicle's onboard computer how much air is going to your engine and how much fuel to use. This is also a fairly low cost to fix, but left unattended to could cause more damage or vehicle failures.
Spark Plug Misfire
Spark plugs affect your engine's power and efficiency, and a bad one can even damage your vehicle's catalytic converter. It's important to repair bad spark plugs right away in order to avoid expensive repairs in the future.
Failing Catalytic Converter
These can be very expensive to replace and are usually due to neglection of bad spark plugs. If your Check Engine light just recently appeared, this is most likely not your issue.
Sometimes the low tire pressure sensor will appear when seasons change. Hot weather increases pressure in your tires and cooler weather can decrease it. A simple solution is to check your pressure with a tire gauge and make sure it coincides with the recommendations for your vehicle/tire. If needed, adjust your tire pressure then start and stop your vehicle a couple times. If the light still appears, you should bring your vehicle in for further analysis.

Time Is Money
It's hard to muster pity for overpaid, overadulated demigods who've scraped their knees on what, for most of us, are everyday demands to be more useful than brilliant. According to a Medical Group Management Association survey, specialists' income increased by 6 percent between 1993-1997. The consumer price index rose 11 percent. Suspicion lurks: Is all this Hippocratic bitterness just the result of thinned pocketbooks? And if so, why should the rest of us commiserate?
The answer's simple. If time is money, money is time, and the change in physician compensation is also changing the amount of time physicians have to spend on us. HMOs pay them not by the amount of work they do but by the number of patients on their panels. Quantity's what counts. And unless you're a Houdini who can listen thoroughly and make a patient feel heard in five minutes, the physician-patient relationship suffers the consequences.
St. Louis psychiatrist Dr. K. Lynne Moritz is watching younger colleagues piece together part-time jobs that require a road-trip commute, just to supplement their therapy-leery managed-care practices. President of the St. Louis Metropolitan Medical Society and director of the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute, Moritz decided several years ago not to belong to any managed-care panels. Her patients either carry expensive indemnity insurance or pay out of pocket. But younger psychiatrists, "who don't have a reputation to fall back on for referrals, have great difficulty doing anything except managed care," she notes. "And managed care wants them to do only medication management. It's a very tricky business, because they often pay you more for a 15-minute medication-management visit than they do for 45 minutes of therapy."
One new psychiatrist was doing a fellowship in child psychiatry and was working at a clinic that recommended eight-minute visits. "Twelve minutes were recommended for a new evaluation of a geriatric patient," Moritz exclaims. "You can't even write down the meds they are taking in 12 minutes. This is terrible for physician-patient relationships. And if you don't have a relationship with your patients, they flush the medications down the toilet."
Back to the visit in question: "A 7-year-old girl was telling her grandmother and the psychiatrist -- for the first time -- that an uncle had been using her sexually," recounts Moritz. "All of a sudden there was a banging on the door and a nurse saying, 'Doctor, your time is up -- you must move on."
Brave New World
"Doctors have been seriously well-paid, and they have not stepped up in terms of accountability," observes Dr. Mary Frances Lyons. A board-certified cardiologist at 29, she left clinical practice several years later and now conducts executive-physician searches for Witt/Kieffer, Ford, Hadelman & Lloyd. "Now other entities are giving out the terms of how doctors will do business, and doctors have to accept that." How's it going? "Not well," she says dryly. "You hear a lot of 'We don't get enough input'; 'They are trying to control us'; 'They can't make us do this'; 'Why did I go to med school?'"
Doctors tend to be a bit passive-aggressive, she adds. "They vote with threats -- 'I'll take my patients across town' -- and use maneuvers that can be perceived as vindictive and childish." On the other hand, "their professionalism is totally intact when it comes to decisions about their patients. They will never knowingly make a poor decision about patient care just because they are mad about managed care."(There are indirect consequences, though. Navarro went to see a specialist at Barnes and the physician walked in fiery mad, fresh from a four-hour meeting about restructuring the department and furiously preoccupied.)
"They are not thinking about health-care systems, they are thinking about 'my practice,'" Lyons continues. "One of the most difficult corners for health-care executives to make it around is becoming a company person." All that time learning to hone and trust your own judgment, just to cede it to an organization? Besides, playing well with others isn't part of medical preparation. "Culturally and sociologically, physicians are cloistered during roughly 10 critically formative years," observes Lyons. "You study real hard and make enough good diagnoses, you can be as weird as the day is long, but no one can say you can't practice because you're a geek."
That freedom's changing, though. "Your payer might get a few complaints and take you off the panel, and there goes a third of your practice," notes Lyons. "This is the stuff doctors were protected from when they could just hang out their shingle. Now they are vulnerable to the exact same things the man in the street has been vulnerable to, lo these many years."
Swinging with the Shift
Dr. W.C. Williams, senior vice president of the National Association of Managed Care Physicians, is waiting patiently for his colleagues to get with the program. "They think it's all the managed-care plan's fault," he says. "It's the employers driving the situation. They said, 'The price for insurance is escalating 20-39 percent a year, we're not going to pay it, find an alternative system.' And the physicians just sat back and did nothing."

What side are you on?... I have a question to American journalists in general.In your heart, would you rather be a good American or a good journalist?It is obvious these days journalists don't feel like they can be both. I understand journalists are supposed to be the "watchdog" over our government by covering and reporting on its activities; however, under no circumstances should this be tolerated at the expense of our national security.I don't want to know what top secret programs we have.I don't want to know how we are spying on our enemy.I don't want to know in which countries the CIA is holding prisoners.I don't want to know all of our interrogation methods……because if I know, our enemy knows. That is dangerous for America.It is time for the journalists of America to become Americans first.
What an absolutely absurd question. And here's one for you: What country do you want to live in? You apparently would be very much at home in the old Soviet Union, where bugging your phone and your kitchen were de regeur... or maybe you could cozy up in a little cabin in Havana, where the government watches your every move, and there's nery a terror attack? Wake up, whoever you are! This country was founded on the principles of freedom -- primarily freedom from oppressive, intrusive government. If you don't like that, and you'd rather be spied on in order for your daddy, the president to "keep you safe", move to North Korea.
Washington needs to step up to the plate and take the gloves off with respect to MSM's apparent mission to stoop to new depths in order to throw obstacles in front of the NSA, the CIA and the Administration. They do this in the name of protecting individual rights -- but most every thinking American knows there's a political agenda behind it. Mainstream America is supportive of our government doing everything it can to protect it's citizens from indiscriminate murder. Even if it means invading the privacy of suspected terrorist conspirators that happen to be living in this country! U.S. Citizens or not! That's how we feel about it here.
Nobody ever said it was a risk-free proposition to stand by the U.S. Constitution.Not the nation's founders, certainly: They risked their very lives in waging the war for independence that led to enshrining the Constitution's democratic ideals in the first place.And now the threat of terrorism sharpens the risk posed by living in an open, democratic society.As long as the nation values and protects by law the rights of everyday Americans to be spared from unwarranted snooping, its enemies could find ways to exploit that openness - as they assuredly did on Sept. 11, 2001.Citizens have a choice. They can live with that risk, understanding it for the central role it plays in making this a nation worth preserving. Or they can surrender to fear - out of a misguided sense that no civil liberty is so cherished as to risk another terror attack by its defense.In President Bush's first formal defense to Congress of his secret, warrantless domestic eavesdropping program, there is the scent of surrender.In a letter sent on Thursday to Congress from the Department of Justice, the Bush administration argued that national security trumps the privacy concerns of individuals.While giving a nod to the "important and legitimate privacy interest at stake," a top Justice Department lawyer said it "must be balanced... against the government's compelling interest in the security of the nation."It sounds like a classic example of trying to justify the means by the ends. Security is all-important, therefore the normal requirement to obtain court approval for surveillance had to be short-circuited?That reasoning is an affront to Americans who hold dear both their liberty and their lives...

The competition among research universities for top faculty is always tough no matter the department, but recruiting professors in fields that also offer high-paying jobs in the private industry can be doubly challenging, say officials at the University of Iowa.
That's why it makes sense that faculty in business, medicine, dentistry and engineering are among the highest paid at UI and schools across the country, said Barry Butler, executive vice president and provost at UI.
"Like anything in our society, it's quite often market driven," Butler said. "You're always looking at what the competition is."
The list of Iowa's highest paid state employees often looks similar from year to year, with athletic coaches, specialty doctors and surgeons topping the charts.

Project 3 Meal Recipients
Feeding Children Everywhere sends meals to crisis food pantries located in public schools. Over 40% of students in the United States are on the government free or reduced price meal program. Many of those students receive their only meal of the day while at school. These crisis food pantries are their lifeline for nourishment at night and on weekends. Feeding Children Everywhere has chosen 30 school districts across the United States that will each receive 100,000 healthy meals. See below for the list of school districts that have accepted so far:
- Jackson, MS – Jackson Public Schools
- Lakeland, FL – Polk County Public Schools
- Ocala, FL – Marion County Public Schools
- Houston, TX – Houston Independent School District
- Charlotte, NC – Charlotte-Mecklenberg School District
- Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles Unified School District
- Philadelphia, PA – School District of Philadelphia
- San Diego, CA – San Diego Unified School District
- Oklahoma City, OK – Oklahoma City Public Schools
- Little Rock, AK – Pulaski County Special School District
- Atlanta, GA – Fulton County School District
- Hartford, CT – Hartford Public Schools
- New Orleans, LA – Orleans Parish School District
- Tampa, FL – Hillsborough County School District
- Miami, FL – Miami-Dade County Public School District
- Columbus, OH – Columbus City School District
- Memphis, TN – Memphis City School District
- Jacksonville, FL – Duval City School District
- St. Petersburg, FL – Pinellas County School District
- New York City, NY – New York City Department of Education
- Orlando, FL – Seminole County Public Schools
- Louisville, KY – Jefferson County Public Schools
We have many children and their families with inadequate access to nutritious food and this will be a wonderful support for them!
I am so excited that OKCPS will be so fortunate to receive the donation of meals this year- this will be so helpful to so many of our families. Thank you again. I just cannot tell you how grateful we are.

Cephalaspis lyelli was the first species of Osteostracean discovered. Osteostraceans were a diverse group of jawless fish ranging in time from the middle Silurian to the late Devonian period.
There are only two groups of jawless fishes alive today:
A diagram of the brain nerves and blood vessels of Cephalaspis hoeli, from Stensiö, 1927
They do not have a bony skeleton, and their fossil record is poor.
By contrast, Cephalaspis and its relatives were bottom-dwelling animals that sifted mud for organic matter, and were protected by bony scales and a strong head-shield.
Fossils of cephalaspids are found in Europe and North America, and two related groups have been found in Australia and China.
The skull and internal morphology of Cephalaspis lyelli and its relatives is very well known thanks to the work of the Swedish palaeontologist Erik Stensiö.
Stensiö sectioned and photographed specimens, and created wax models, revealing intricate details of internal anatomy, such as the position of the nerves, blood vessels and the structure of the brain, but destroying the specimen in the process.
Today, using CT scanning we can gather this information without damaging the specimens.
Since 1835, over a hundred different species have been referred to the genus Cephalaspis. But recent work indicates that only three other species Cephalaspis producta, Cephalaspis cradleyensis, and Cephalaspis sollasi should be included in this genus.

I am very new to DSP and am working with with the C6472 EVM board. I finally have the demo project built, but I am having difficulty figuring out how to debug the project. Since I am a novice, I am not quite sure which questions to ask. Is there any documentation with respect to debugging the demo projects or tutorials that would give a crash course?

MMT proponent priceman calls out ignorance and anti-intellectualism on the left.

It's a tough nut to crack. Over the past few months I have several times had to confront Democrats who are convinced that Obama tried to pass a second stimulus package, but that it was blocked by the Republicans.
Obviously the Republicans have sought to block every halfway decent thing Obama has attempted. But he hasn't attempted much, and there was certainly no second stimulus package. Since February of 2009, Obama has been on a deficit-cutting crusade.

Calvin Arsenault took third in the 60m hurdles finals with a school-record time.
Feb. 17, 2013

GENEVA, Ohio - The University of Louisville track and field teams' final day at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships was nothing short of record setting.
Sunday produced four individual BIG EAST champions, five school records and two new conference meet standards.
Sam Bombaugh became the first male athlete in school history to win both throwing titles at the conference's indoor championships. Behind a career best of more than three feet in the shot put, Bombaugh's bomb landed 17.42m/57-2 to give him his second victory of the meet and lead the Cardinals' 1-2-3 finish in the event. At the end of the day, he was named the school's second BIG EAST Indoor Men's Field Athlete of the Meet (Tone Belt, 2007).
On Saturday, the Falmouth, Mass., native secured the weight throw title for his first career BIG EAST crown. The last Cardinal to win the event on the men's side was Andrew Hackney in 2009.
Notably, Bombaugh became the first athlete in the BIG EAST's existence, which dates back to 1980, to win the shot put and weight throw titles in the same meet.
Also in the throwing events, Khadija Abdullah captured her third-straight indoor shot put title. With the victory, she became the first in conference history to win three-consecutive shot put titles since Syracuse's Patrina Thomas won three from 1986-88. Leading a 1-3-4 finish, Abdullah registered a school-record toss and BIG EAST meet record of 17.06m/55-11.75 for the win. Kendall, who placed second in the weight throw on Saturday, finished third in the shot put.
Fans at the SPIRE Institute witnessed another historic performance from the Cardinals. Michelle Kinsella entered the meet ranked first in the conference and tied for eighth nationally in the high jump after clearing a school-record 1.85m/6-0.75 earlier this year. The Whitby, Ontario, native also was undefeated in the event this season, winning all four competitions.
After clearing 1.84m/6-0.50 on her third attempt at the meet, she re-broke her school record and then set the conference meet mark by jumping over the bar at 1.88m/6-2 on just her second try. Now a career best, the height is tied for fifth nationally. The BIG EAST standard went untouched since 2007, when Cincinnati's Renee Hein set it at 1.85m/6-0.75.
On the men's side, Chrisjaan Smith set a season best in the high jump and was the lone freshman to finish in the top eight. The Indianapolis, Ind., native took third by leaping over the bar at 2.12m/6-11.50 on his third attempt.
On the track, Margret Harris compiled arguably the best two-event sprint performance. To open the day, the senior won the school's first 60m BIG EAST title after clocking a winning time of 7.46. The victory was the first of her career at the BIG EAST Championships. Later in the day, she took third in the 200m final after a strong close down the final stretch. By winning the 60m title, Harris became the school's first champion in the event.
In the 60m hurdles, sophomore Calvin Arsenault re-broke his school record to finish third behind a time of 7.90. The mark is tied for 35th nationally. He also ran the anchor leg on the 4x400m relays that finished seventh and set the school record that was recorded in 2006.
In the distance events, Ernest Kibet continued the momentum from his third-place showing in the 5,000m on Saturday by placing seventh in the 3,000m.
Toward the end of the day, the women's quartet of Michelle Molodynia, Maria Frigo, Jordan Diaz, and Kelsey Cramsey broke the 4x800m relay school record by nearly 13 seconds with a time of 8:59.71.
Louisville likely will send a selected number of student-athletes to a final chance meet over the course of the next couple of weeks before traveling to the NCAA Indoor Championships from March 8-9 in Fayetteville, Ark.

3.17.12 SOFTBALL: Cavs Split with 15th Ranked Grand Valley
Softball, 2012-03-17
Walsh (10-8) split a double header with future Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference opponent, and NCAA 15th ranked Grand Valley State University (13-3) today. Walsh won game one 5-1, but fell 2-1 in the nightcap. The Cavs are idle until Tuesday, when they travel to Ashland University, another GLIAC opponent, for a 2 pm twin bill.
Behind Erin Ebert's (Jr., Jeromesville, OH/Hillsdale) complete game effort Walsh captured game one 5-1. Grand Valley took a 1-0 lead on a solo homerun in third. Walsh then erupted for five runs in their half of the fifth inning with the help of three Grand Valley errors. Kayla Marcus (So., Bergholz, OH/Edison) singled to score Jenna Rosso (Sr., Amherst, OH/Steele), who reached base on an error, to tie the game. With the bases loaded, Chelsy Testa (Fr., Uniontown, OH/Lake) delivered a bases clearing double to give the Cavs a 4-1 lead. Testa then stole third and scored on an error. Ebert allowed six hits in picking-up her fifth win (5-4) of the season.
In game two, Grand Valley's Hannah Santora handcuffed the Cavs with a three-hit shutout in picking-up her fifth win of the season against only one loss. She fanned eight and walked two. The Lakers scored twice in the first on Katie Martin's two-run single. Hanna Dodson (Fr., Newark, OH/Licking Valley) went distance for Walsh and falls to 2-2.

The city of St. Paul has been under pressure this week for not getting snow cleared sooner.
Earlier this week drivers faced snow and ice covered washboard streets, but St Paul Public Works says their plan worked.
The city says it pretreated streets, sent out plows early, and simply got more snow than forecasted.
Council member Russ Stark believes the city didn't handle this storm well and it may change how Saint Paul clears streets.
Saint Paul still has plows out clearing side streets.

San Antonio donors give blood to help West blast victims
450 people donated or signed up to donate by Thursday
SAN ANTONIO - In San Antonio, people are seeing the devastation in West, Texas, and are trying to help by donating blood.
The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center already started sending blood and platelets to West overnight, but the are calling on the community to donate, so they can continue to help.
"We sent over platelets and O negative and that's what we are trying to replenish now," said Roger Ruiz, with the the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center. "We are on standby and we need to send more units over."
While all blood types are being accepted, Ruiz said they are really in need of type O Negative and platelet donations.
Ruiz said 450 people have donated or signed up to donate so far, which is more than double the donations they would usually get on a Thursday.
"I didn't even think about donating blood would be able to help in any way," said Walter Holm, a donor. "And I just saw it on TV and I was like I don't know what I could do, but when you all posted that it just helped a lot to know that I can help somehow by donating blood."
Ruiz said they are asking people to schedule an appointment so, they don't have to wait.
You can do that by calling 731- 5590.
The center is open until 8 p.m.

By Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service
KABUL, Afghanistan, March 7, 2011 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates arrived here today to visit troops, meet with President Hamid Karzai and talk with NATO military leaders about progress made toward transitioning security responsibility to Afghan forces, set to start in July.
Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said Gates will visit areas in regional commands South and East, where he will meet with troops and assess progress on the ground.
Gates has settled into a regular rhythm of Afghanistan visits, averaging a trip each quarter, Morrell said.
"Frequent, regular visits provide him with good measuring sticks to determine how rapidly progress is being made," Morrell said, noting that the secretary has repeatedly said visiting forces in the field and getting their assessment of conditions is the most important part of his trips.
Those on-the-ground assessments have been positive over the last few visits, Morrell said, with troops and leaders who are "taking on the Taliban" expressing confidence in their Afghan counterparts and reporting improved security conditions in former Taliban-controlled areas.
Gates will meet in a long one-on-one session with Karzai, as he has done on all but one previous trip, when the Afghan president was out of the country, Morrell said.
Karzai's government has been working to prepare for the security transition to Afghan forces, set to start in July and conclude in 2014, the press secretary said. He added that Karzai is expected to announce this month which areas will be the first to transition.
More work remains to be done, however, before any decisions are made about withdrawing U.S. troops, Morrell said.
"There are more talks to take place and more work to be done once [Gates] is home," Morrell said. "This trip will inform decisions to be made in the coming weeks and months."
While in Afghanistan, the secretary will also meet with U.S. Ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry and the two top NATO commanders in Afghanistan, Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, International Security Assistance Force commander, and Army Lt. Gen. David M. Rodriguez, deputy ISAF commander.
Later in the week, the secretary is scheduled to travel to Stuttgart, Germany, for the U.S. Africa Command change of command from Army Gen. William E. "Kip" Ward, who is retiring, to Army Gen. Carter F. Ham.
Gates will then travel to Brussels, Belgium, for meetings with NATO defense ministers.

I'm glad you have so much faith in the most disrespected government in the world. He shouldn't have to be visiting at all. More meddling in other peoples business. The taxpayers of this country will be sending billions to Libya next. Be sure and pay your taxes on time, unless you're one of the 48% of American's that don't pay any, then you could obviously care less.

Gates shows up to give Karzai his welfare chech in person. Long live Uncle Sam. This
madness will never end.
- Nelson Corn, Topeka, KS
It's so important that our top leadership maintains communication by making these visits in person. Nothing can replace a face-to-face meeting, especially when is comes to cultures such as the Afghan society.

Read Poems by
Jimmy Anderson
Beneath these rocks beats an ancient heart.
In this mountain the most important part.
It pumps the life giving nutrients to the air.
The rhythm of the ages where earthquakes start.
The blue of the sky is so very rare.
Makes one think that there is life without a care.
Enjoying a moment neath the trees so green.
Makes me want to spend eternity there.
Life has always been so peaceful and serene.
Most of the time there is like a dream.
Listening to the bees in the flowers hum.
Paradise perfected and on that I'll lean.

Mardi Gras 2013: We're everywhere you are
Mardi Gras, a day of celebration around the world known for its huge parades and parties in places like New Orleans, Venice and across Brazil, is a Christian holiday that has become a cultural curiosity even for those who don't celebrate.
According to History.com, Mardi Gras is thousands of years old and has links to pagan spring and fertility rites. Today's festivities are mostly celebrated in countries with large Roman Catholic populations and marks the day before the season of Lent begins.
If you're in Brazil, you can head to Carnival in any city and become one of its revelers, dancing samba in colorful costumes to the beat of the drums, or just watching from the sidelines if you prefer.
Those in New Orleans had to dodge some rain this year, but that didn't stop them from heading out to one of the world's most famous Mardi Gras celebrations. The flesh-filled parade went off without a hitch.

A 12-member jury did not reach a verdict on Tuesday following nearly 5.5 hours of deliberation in the homicide trial of Lawrence Earl Donachy, 36, of St. Marys. Deliberations will continue this morning beginning at 9 a.m., where the jury will decide the fate of Donachy, who is charged with one count each of criminal homicide, rape, burglary, aggravated assault, criminal attempt at arson and unlawful restraint in the April 5-6, 1999 rape and murder of Irene Challingsworth, a 57-year-old St. Marys beautician.
Elk County officials will soon catch a break in their budget, as commissioners yesterday discussed Act 22, an initiative that went into effect July 1, which provides help with payments of inmate medical health care bills for eligible inmates.
As the second week of the trial of Lawrence Earl Donachy commenced Monday morning, testimony concluded and jurors began the day with a field trip to St. Marys, where they were shown various sites of interest pertaining to the trial. Donachy, 36, is accused of the April 5-6, 1999 rape and murder of 56-year-old St. Marys beautician Irene Challingsworth at her home on 213 Walnut St.

On December 19, 2007, then-President George W. Bush signed into federal law the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA).
RIDGWAY – Always sisters, now a part of each other.
Maria Savino, sister of Frances DiIulio (aka Chickie), donated her kidney to save her sister's life in April 2011. Savino was an absolute perfect match for her sister.Â
In quoting Helen Keller, Savino says, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart."
RIDGWAY - In the fifth day of testimony in the trial of Lawrence Earl Donachy on Friday, the defense called upon witnesses that included a sexual assault forensic examiner, former City of St. Marys Police officers and pedestrians who had seen lights on in Irene Challingsworth's residence the night of the murder. Donachy, 36, of St. Marys, is accused of the April 5-6, 1999 rape and murder of Challingsworth. The trial is being held at the Elk County Courthouse in Ridgway before a jury from Butler County and is presided over by President Judge Richard Masson.
JOHNSONBURG – Born and raised in Johnsonburg, Bob Ford is now a published author. His work, titled "Beagle Tales," is a collection of his humor columns about beagles, life and the outdoors.
Ford is a 1990 graduate of Johnsonburg Area High School. He is the son of the late Harold and Paula Ford. His sister is Diane Del Rio of Johnsonburg. Ford has traveled from his town of State College for a book signing at the Johnsonburg Community Center Saturday, Oct. 15 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
RIDGWAY - Former St. Marys City Police Sergeant John Lovett and Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Dave Ray recollected the details of the Irene Challingsworth homicide on Thursday during the trial of Lawrence Earl Donachy, 36, of St. Marys. Donachy is charged in the April 5- 6, 1999 rape and murder of the 57-year-old St. Marys beautician.
A jury of Butler County residents listened to the officers' testimony during the fourth day of the 10-day trial being held at the Elk County Courthouse in Ridgway.
RIDGWAY - An expert forensic DNA scientist testified on Thursday, during day four of the homicide trial of Lawrence Earl Donachy, 36, who is charged in the April 5 or 6, 1999 death of Irene Challingsworth, a St. Marys beautician. The trial is being held at the Elk County Courthouse in Ridgway.
Pennsylvania State Police Forensic DNA Scientist Alex Glessner, employed for the past 10 years at the PSP Greensburg lab, provided extensive information on DNA profiling pertinent in the case.

1 (10.75 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup
Dash ground black pepper
1/4 cup
chopped red pepper
4 cups
cooked cut green beans
1 1/3 cups
French's® French Fried Onions
Beautiful color on this dish and it was fast and easy to toss together. This was good but it just wasn't the traditional flavor I was expecting. My husband didn't say anything so I don't know if he noticed the difference or not. I only made this because I didn't have regular mushroom soup on hand. I didn't have any red pepper. This was good and we were able to have our holiday green bean casserole, but I like the white sauce better personally. Thanks for the great substitute in a pinch, I wouldn't have tried this otherwise.
I like to add broken up water chestnuts for a little crunch, as well.

this is a great "go-to" if you have too much of any fresh veggie...& every one loves this when my brother brings it to the Thanksgiving dinner at Dad's & Mom's house
This is a great option if you want to switch up from the tradition green bean casserole. I was asked to bring a green bean casserole for Christmas dinner to my in-laws and there was nothing left! It looked very festive having the Red peppers mixed with the Green beans. Although when doubling this recipe I didn't double the green beans. 4 Cans of green beans was plenty. My husband decided he likes this more than the traditional way.
Like this better than the traditional version. The red peppers add nice color and flavor
I really liked this version of green bean casserole and so did everyone else at my house since there was nothing left!
The traditional favorite in perfect proportion
This is a great basic easy recipe for a green bean casserole! I left out the red peppers and it still tasted great and my family ate it all up. I used a half a cup of sour cream instead of milk to add even more flavor and it came out great. I've been able to substitute greek yogurt in place of sour cream in every recipe I've had so I'm going to try that next for a healthier alternative.
