Yeah, that is a pipe dream. Sure there are companies who may offer that but it comes down to money. Why pay to train an EMT when there are out of work paramedic willing to take the job?
corkemt, you have options mate.
The first thing to realise is that a good starting wage for US paramedics is about $18 per hour. You are not going to get rich or buy a house with that income. The top end for firefighter paramedics is about $70k which is still less than APs get here with far less than the 20 years of experience to get that $70k in the US.
You don't have to work in the mines. There are plenty of jobs on oil rigs, expeditions, security, maritime transit and in the Middle East. A mate of mine just got a job on Abu Dabi for €106k per year with a flat and his family. Oh, and that is tax free.
You asked about AREMT. That is a qualification that can get you work and is asked for in the energy and security industry. You can get that through the Wexford guys here in Ireland and the UK guys who go to Guatemala.
I would highly suggest that you look at the US paramedic. You can do that here in Ireland as well. There are now a few companies who offer the NREMT Paramedic in Ireland but the guys in Wexford are half the price of others. The two Dublin coys have not put boots on the ground yet so who knows. I even think that there is another NREMT Paramedic coy opening up on the west coast as well.
You need to think about what you want. If you can get into the HSE then you have 30 years of a career and one of the best paying jobs for paramedics. Even the UK doesn't pay their APs as well as we do.
If it is about money then the HSE is good. The offshore industry is good as well. If is about job satisfaction and you don't want to spend the rest of your career hauling drunks and old people around then the offshore industry will be the better option.
Good luck to you.
Pipe dream is it yeah? I've done my research and have looked into it believe me. How do you know there's Paramedics out of work over there? Even if there is it doesn't mean they're going to just take any job that's going!!

What Are Skin Lumps?
Skin lumps are any areas of abnormally raised skin. The lumps may be hard and rigid or soft and moveable. Swelling from injury is one common form of skin lump.
Most skin lumps are benign—in other words, not cancerous. Skin lumps are generally not dangerous, and usually do not interfere with your everyday life. Consult your doctor or dermatologist if you are worried about any abnormal areas on your skin.
Possible Causes of Skin Lumps
Skin lumps can be caused by a number of health conditions that range in severity. Common types and causes of skin lumps include:
- trauma
- acne
- moles
- warts
- pockets of infection, such as abscesses and boils
- cancerous growths
- cysts
- corns
- allergic reactions, including hives
Perhaps the most common cause of skin lumps is trauma or injury. Referred to as a "goose egg," this type of lump occurs when you hit your head or another part of your body. The tissues swell, causing a lump that may also be bruised. Injury-induced skin lumps usually swell suddenly, within a day or two of the traumatic event.
A cyst is another typical cause of skin lumps. A cyst is an enclosed area of skin tissue that forms underneath the outermost layer of skin. Cysts are usually filled with fluid.
The contents of a cyst may remain under the skin or rupture out of the cyst. Cysts are most often soft and moveable, unlike hard warts or corns. Most cysts are not cancerous. Cysts are usually painless, unless they become infected.
Swollen Lymph Nodes
You may also encounter skin lumps where your lymph glands are located. Lymph glands contain white blood cells that help fight infection. If you have a cold or infection, the glands under your arms and in your neck may temporarily become hard and lumpy. As your illness runs its course, your lymph nodes will return to normal size.
Childhood Illness
Childhood illnesses, such as mumps and chicken pox, can also give your skin a lumpy appearance. Mumps is a viral infection that affects your salivary glands. Your swollen glands can give your cheeks a chipmunk-like appearance.
The herpes zoster virus causes chicken pox. During a bout of the chicken pox, your skin is marked with pink bumps that rupture and become crusty. Most children receive vaccinations to protect against these childhood diseases
When to Get Help from Your Doctor
Discuss any unusual skin lumps with your doctor. A biopsy may be warranted if your lump appears suddenly, without explanation. A biopsy is the removal of a small sample of your skin tissue. Your doctor can test the biopsy sample for cancerous cells.
Diagnosing the Cause of Your Skin Lump
Your doctor will ask you a series of questions to help diagnose the cause of your skin lump, such as:
- When did you first discover the lump?
- How many skin lumps do you have?
- What are the color, shape, and texture of the lumps?
- Does the lump hurt?
- Are you experiencing other symptoms?
The color and shape of the lump can be an important part of diagnosing the problem. A mole that changes color or has an irregular border is a red flag. These characteristics are signs of possible skin cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma is another form of skin cancer that looks like an ordinary skin lump or pimple at first glance. If the lump bleeds, doesn't go away, or grows in size, it could indicate cancer.
Treatment for Skin Lumps
Skin lumps caused by injury usually fade on their own as the swelling recedes. Applying an ice pack and elevating the area can reduce inflammation and ease pain. If your skin lump is caused by an infection or abscess, you will need antibiotic medications to help the lumps heal.
Viral illnesses that cause lymph node swelling, enlarged salivary glands or a skin rash require only supportive care. The viruses cannot be cured, but discomfort can be treated. Ice packs, baking soda baths, and fever-reducing medication can all help.
Your doctor may prescribe topical medicines to eliminate acne bumps, warts, and rashes. Topical skin ointments and creams may contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients help reduce local infection and bacteria found in cystic acne. The acid may also help decrease the amount of skin that has built up around a wart.
Corticosteroid injections are a possible treatment for skin lumps that become inflamed. Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs. Cystic acne, generalized skin infections, and benign cysts are among the types of skin lumps that can be treated with corticosteroid injections. However, these injections can have side effects near the area of injection, including infection, pain, loss of skin color, or shrinking of soft tissue. For this reason and more, corticosteroid injections are generally used no more than a few times a year.
A skin lump that causes continual pain or is hazardous to your health may require more invasive medical treatment. Skin lumps that may warrant drainage or surgical removal include:
- boils
- corns
- cysts
- cancerous tumors or moles
- abscesses

Salt Lake City – University of Utah electrical engineers have designed a thin layer made of a transparent plastic or glass that sorts and concentrates sunlight to boost the overall efficiency of solar cells by up to 50 percent. This layer, called a polychromat, can be integrated into the cover glass of a solar panel. It could also be used to boost power efficiency in a cell phone or improve low light conditions for a camera.
"Currently, high-efficiency solar cells are very expensive because they have to be carefully manufactured in a complex environment and are only cost-effective for space or defense applications like the Mars Rover," said Rajesh Menon, a Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR) assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the U. "We have designed a very cheap optical element that can be incorporated into the cover glass of a solar panel that will separate sunlight into various colors."
Solar cells absorb light from the sun and convert it into electricity. Despite its tremendous potential as a limitless resource of energy, solar power is currently a small fraction of the global energy supply, due to its high cost compared with conventional power sources. In addition, challenges in materials have further limited solar power's wide reach.
Solar cell performance is directly linked to the efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity. Solar cells operate on the concept that one absorbed bundle of light from the sun, called a photon, generates electrical charge carriers in a layer of material within the solar cell that then becomes electricity.
However, sunlight is made up of different wavelengths of light, ranging from ultraviolet to visible to infrared. Light at different wavelengths is made of photons at different energies. Conventional solar cells only absorb a narrow range of wavelengths very efficiently. The energy at other wavelengths is not absorbed at all or is converted into waste heat rather than electricity. As a result, a solar cell can only convert so many photons into electricity, up to a theoretical limit of about 33.5 percent efficiency (called the Shockley-Queissner limit).
In this new study, Menon and electrical engineering graduate student Peng Wang designed a polychromat. The polychromat was 50 millimeters wide by 10 millimeters long, with 3 micrometer wide grooves to sort incoming light. The polychromat was made using photolithography for this study, but Menon said it can now be made cheaply by creating a mold of the polychromat and then stamping it out like a DVD.
The team placed the polychromat on top of a photovoltaic device, which is a device that generates a voltage when exposed to energy, especially light. The photovoltaic device is made of two absorber layers: gallium indium phosphide to absorb visible light, and gallium arsenide to absorb infrared light. When the University of Utah polychromat was added, the power efficiency increased by 16 percent.
"These colors can be absorbed by appropriate solar cells to increase the efficiency of the overall process without increasing the cost," said Menon.
The researchers also developed computer simulations of a polychromat placed on a solar cell with eight different absorber layers to show a theoretical efficiency greater than 50 percent.
"With our approach, you can almost arbitrarily select the bands of light—within the laws of physics—to give more flexibility in the design of the panel," said Menon. "With a normal lens it's very difficult to actually separate the colors, and with a prism it's difficult to get the separated light exactly where you want it."
Recently, the University of Utah became the first university in the country to sponsor a community solar program that offers community members the opportunity to purchase discounted rooftop solar panels and installation for their homes. The polychromats from this study are not being used in the community program.

Water Mains Being Flushed This WeekTuesday, October 11th, 2011 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
The Chelmsford Water District will be flushing water mains in the Town Center beginning October 11th, between 11:00 PM and 3:00 AM. Flushing will continue on the nights of the 12th, 13th, and 18th.
The flushing will cause discoloration in the water, but the Water District will attempt to use water hydrants to alleviate discolored water before morning.
The Water District asks that residents check their water each morning to make sure it is running clear before they use it. Also, check your backflow device to be sure it is not leaking after the flushing.
Flushing beyond the Center is scheduled for October 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th, and 27th, between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
For more information, please visit http://www.chelmsfordwater.com or call the District Office at 978-256-2931.Posted in Events, Town of Chelmsford | No Comments »

Sarah Jane Alsobrooks: 1857-1898
Edward Alsobrooks: 1824 - (aft 1880?)
Sarah Ann Parker: 1826 - ??
Wesley Alsobrooks: 1799-1850

I believe Sarah Ann Parker and Edward Alsobrooks are buried in the Turtleskin Cemetary in Hancock County, Ms. Their stones read Allbrooks, but the dates match: Sarah A. Allbrooks, born Jan.26, 1825, died Feb. 15, 1900. Edward G. Allbrooks, born Aug 4, 1824, died No. 15, 1899. The Mary A. Frierson buried near them is probably their daughter.
Sarah Ann Parker was an older sister of my great, great grandfather, John Wesley Parker. Have the other siblings and parents if you want them.

Thanks large! Yes, please send me whatever you have on them, as the Parker family is kind of an empty hole for me right now.
Do you live in that area?

Sarah Ann's parents were Isaac and Mary Noland Parker. She had a sister, Martha Ann, who married William Alsobrooks. Check out the Parker family tree (public member) here on Ancestry, where I am in the process of entering the information I have. It is great to "meet" a new cousin, and yes, I live in Mississippi.

Searching for Susan Amanda Roland who married possibly Lewis B Allsobrooks. They were in Calcasieu Parish, LA in 1860, 70, 80 but her husband was not in 1880. Her father was Allen Roland and her mom was Sarah Ann Chisum/Chisholm. She was born ca 1838 in NY or Scott Co, MS. She may have been of German descent.

My family goes back to possibly Lewis B Alsobrooks and Susan Amanda Roland of Ms, Scott Co, who moved to LA
Strangly enough the Parker family moved to Angelina Co, TX where my Alsobrooks ended up. My Mandy Roland Alsobrooks and her five sons moved to Polk Co, and Angelina Co, TX as well as to Utah, Arizona, and Wyomingl
My sister married into the Roberts/Parker family in Angelina Co, TX. Email me at
. I would like to confer with you on thees families.

Roberts, Allsobrook, Parker, Ironmonger, Womack, Yarrell, Barnes, Partin
Saw your note re: Roberts, Alsobrooks and Parkers! I have all 3! If your John Wesley Parker was descended from Asa Parker b. 1775 Duplin Co., NC, we are related. I come down from Solomon Alford Parker, one of his sons, who m. Nancy Partin.
My Alsobrooks are way back to Samuel, Sr. and Mary Ironmonger abt 1660 in England. My Martha Womack m. William Alsobrook abt 1760
in VA. My William Mack Roberts b. abt 1775 probably died in Scott Co., MS. He was last found on the 1850 Census as Mack Roberts with his wife, Elizabeth Barnes, and children. Their dau., Rebecca had married William Franklin Yarrell and was a widow about 25 in that census.
Love to hear from everyone interested in these families!

Hi Jeannette, I can't give you a definite answer because I have not been able to get back beyond John Wesley Parker's father, who was Isaac Parker (b. in Ga. c 1794). I do know my Parkers are in Family Group 7, but just can't break through that brick wall. Isaac was last found in the 1850 Scott Co., Ms. census, so he and Mack may have known each other. Nice to think so anyway. He certainly knew the Alsobrooks as two of his daughters married into that family.

Jeannette, I saw you'll's posting and frankly, I'm unsure.
Please read the entire lineage before denying the info, If in correct, please let me know.
Let me explain. My grandfather's father was Joseph Leonard Alsobrooks (Allsbrooks, Alsbrooks, Alsbrook, well you get it). I knew that they lived in Louisana because my grandfather talked about that when I was very young. Of course, being 73, a lot of things he told me I have to really dig in memory for.
Anyway, Grandpa lived on the river in Louisiana which had a river fronting the farm they either leased or owned. He told me that a prison was located not far from their house and a man escaped and ran through some of their horses, getting on one and swam the river which was full of "gaters" and neither of them were ever seen nor caught. I found my ggreatgrandfather by accident.
My husband's family was from LA and I was searching for his family when I passed a name on the film that seemed familiar but it did sink in. I was on my hunt for my Humble family, then I roll the film passed another familiar name and I actually went two or three rolls when It struck me. I rolled slowly backwards and there in the censes was my grandfather's grandmother but her husband was listed as what looks like JB Brooks. (my theory is when the censor asked for their names they just said "we all brooks" and he didn't realize it was Alsbrooks.
I'd found an JW Allsbroks and his wife and a child name Samuel in the LA Census who I figured was the child who died in OK or Ark, because mom todl me that the child got sick and they stopped by a family's homestead and that's where they buried him.
Then they went on their way but the lady of the house told them not to worry she;d put flowers on his way, but later they received a letter saying their own little girl had died and now their little boy was not alone up on the hillside.
By the way they lived around the Lake Charles area when I found them and, grandpa said they'd farmed in Many and Mansfield as well as Leesville so they moved around a lot. Grandpa asked my husband to take him back to LA and he promise grandpa the next time we came up in a week or so, he would but my grandpa died before he could see his old home.
The names difference in this family though I will tell you they were not unintelligent people and they made their living by leasing land farming and then moving on to some other place. Grandpa said they'd originally lived in Scotts Co,MS but due to the war conflicts the father moved his family west to protect them leaving a really beautiful farm.
There was a story that brought to my mind what grandpa talked about when the Union Soldiers came to the farm and finding only women and small children took only a portion of the unhidden food, the most being hid in a well but I do not know if it was my family.
I found an Allsbrooks/Alsobrooks that had died in the Civil War and I know that Mandy and her boys were alone in the following census. Grandpa said his family were farmers and wagoners..
Her husband's name was listed different as I thought grandpa said he was named for him, being James or "Jim" to everyone however, his mom's father was James Wesley Glass so that could have been the one they named him for Grandpa's mother was Sarah Margaret Josephine Glass and she and one of her sisters were married in LA but my ggrandpa was not listed as Allsbrooks/Alsobrooks but I believe "Brooks". (By the way, two of sisters married men in LA and both were red heads and mom said she thought they might have been twins. It runs in our family.
I WOULD not have paid attention to the name in the census except I'd just gotten a copy of my ggreatfather's death certificate. Gramdpa listed only his mother on his dad's certificate which was SUSAN AMANDA ROLAND, no father's name (By the way she was Allen and Sarah Jane Chisham/Chisum Roland's daughter). However, in Wesley's death certificate (Joseph's brother) they have his fatner listed as James Wesley Allsbrooks.
This census taker was so thoughful to put the wives Maiden names down and "Mandy Roland" was a name I knew from Joseph's death certificate.. She stayed with Joseph Leonard Allsbrooks when mom was a child and made her a pretty little dress that mom would describe.
Grandpa said his grandma was "Black Deutsch" which I discovered from Mr Wilkins of our genealogy department when I started meant a name applied to the people who lived in the area where Germany, Holland, Switzerland and whatever states met and intermarrying creating the "Black" and "White" Deutsch" because some of them had fair skin, light colored eyes and bloode while other's were dark, dark colored eyes and dark hair, sometimes in the same family.
Since mom was young, she described Mandy as being very short, stout, wearing very long black skirted dresses. Mandy was dressed like this sitting on the porch when mom's two brothers' disturbed the bee hive and unfortunately , Gggreatgrandma was the target. Mom told me how she waved her skirt to fend off the bees, and how the children were all laughing. (my grandpa told me this and he laughed as well as we have a wierd sense of humor.)
Mandy walked with a limp as she'd had a carriage accident near a railroad track when a train whisler blew and frighten her horse and she fell off and broke her hip. Thus the limp. Do not know where this happened. Do know they lived in MS, possibly AL and some of them even went to the Florida area.
My Amanda was born ca 1838 and died supposedly 11 Sep 1918 in Scott Co, MS though if mom knew her, I doubt all of the dates are true. Mom was borm in 1916 in Angelina Co, Texas. but mom told some stories about her.
When I found Amanda in the Louisiana census she had all of their five boys, with my ggreatgrandpa being the oldest. The family was listed as "Brooks" for the "Roland" was why I found them. There they were all mom's uncles. According to mom there was a child that had died and was buried in OK or Ark, a boy, and then there was Lucy who fell from her bed and killed herself. The boys was Joseph, Charlie, Wesley,Luther and Triz or Trizwell listed which I know are our family.
In the 1900 Calcaiseu Delinquent Tax list there is my ggreatgrandfather Joseph Alsobrooks and Mandy Alsobrooks listed on that list, but somewhere along that time they had moved to Polk Co, TX, in particular, around Corrigan. Then Wes and Joseph moved to Angelina Co, TX. I live on land owned by Wes who married Samuel Glass and her mother told Wes he'd broke her set of Glasses (6 girls). Florence Glass Allsbrooks was a cousin to my Sarah Margaret Josephine Glass Allsbrooks (by the way in the LA marriage list it listed her as Margaret Josephine Glass marrying a Brooks.
Dr James Wesley Glass was told to me as dying in Polk Co, TX but I haven't found that. He had three sons who were physicians and lived in the Harris Co, TX area,mom said on Goose Creek but I also found a Goose Creek in LA. One of the brothers moved to Baytown and is buried there though one of his family said someone else is also buried on top of him, no reference of fact. Another brother went back to near the New Orleans and practiced medicine there and is buried there. One brother owned a bar in Beaumont and adopted a boy named Long.
Mom, had nicknames and they seemed to name one another after the other brothers or uncles so it can be confusing. I just go by names mom told me and tried to trace them by that..
The Roland family were in Robertson Co NC, and Allen Roland was the son of William Isham and Elizabeth Thomas Roland.. Here it gets a little scrambled as they seem to intermarry over several generation.
Also I have to be real careful and not screw up. James Wesley Glass married Sarah Ann Chitty. He was the son of Frances and Sarah Varner Glass. Sarah Ann Chitty of Lowndes Co, AL, was the daughter of Allen A and Sarah Jane Skinner Chitty.
Allen Roland of Robertson Co, NC was the shon of William Isham and Elizabeth Thomas Roland but he married Sarah or Flora Ann Chisum Chisholm of the Ashville Dist NC who was the daughter of ISHAM RUSSELL AND PERMELIA ROBERTS CHISUM, Sarah's sister Marth Ann married Jacob Durr (Duerre).
Now these two lines were said to have been of NA bloodlines. I do know they lived in the area where the Treaty of the Running Rabbit took place and some of the NA were allotted land, some were not. By the way, other sisters, Mary Elizabeth married into the Lowery, Samantha married Thomas Russom of Wilcox Co, MS., Martha Ann married Michiel Durr, son of Jacob Durr, Sarah Ann married John L McGee, and William Josiah married Cynthie Lee Jones, dau of James and Rebecca Jane Shirley Jones
William Rowland Fayette Dist NC, son of Thomas and Sarah Lee Rowland, who was the son of Samuel Rowland and Elizabeth Thomas Roland, the daughter of Elias Thomas.
Now I want to state, I've researched most of this myself but some of lines were researched by Michael Durr's descendant's before me. I just checked to see if I thought it was possibly the correct line. I have to some extent but others are hard to find information documenting it.
I hope you've noticed the intermarrying of the families which was a trait that the Cherokee in particular did in order to strenght their bloodlines or so I've been told. I've been told incorrectly before though.
I have not reseached the Parker or Grimmer lines yet though I feel my Allsbrooks will lead back to at least one. Another thing, in what originally was Nacogdoches Co, of the Republic of Texas was divided by my grandfather Crawford's grandfather Thomas Crawford, one of three. You will find that the Roberts, the Parkers, the Glass, the Thomas, the Rolands and my Allsbrooks all ended up in the general area. At that time or shortly before, this was territory granted by Sam Houston to the Cherokees. The next Governer of Texas, broke the treaty and herde all nations and took them to Oklahoma. There were the Caddo Nations, the Cherokee, the Commanchie, the Apache the Choctaw and other Nations pushed to this area by our government thus many NA did not reveal their nationality to avoid the reservation.
I have lots more info on these people, some are my direct line, some are not, My Weeks/Harris/Thompson were believed to be from NA bloodlines. Most of the people who settled in Texas in the 1830's up were joined by family members. My Allsbrooks went on to Utah, Arizona, Wyoming and California..
If I've have given incorrect connections, let me know, please, as I want only the truth. I do have a copy of the Chitty couple which is very old that someone sent me along with her or his information.
Sorry so long winded but at 73, I have to keep digging quick in order to get back to my origins and being in Texas that early makes these families difficult. Most came from TN, MS, AL, GA, NC, SC, and even Kentucky.
The Roland family goes back to

Saw your post concerning the "Chitty" couple. I'm researching the Chitty/Robert line in and around Lauderdale, Scott, and Loundes Counties of MS circa 1850 forward. Most interested in the "old" documentation.

It is a chilly, late fall day here in North Texas as a cold air mass from the Rocky Mountains continues its collision with warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. Various forms of wintry precipitation are expected over the next 24 hours, with colder than average temperatures lasting through Thanksgiving. In short, my kind of weather.
It's during these semi shut-in days that my mind asks questions and formulates thoughts on the future of humanity in regards to man's "progress"; a global act on the world's stage whose price of admission and profits made are always ecological damages. Some people may scoff at the notion, but that's simply due to a lack of an ecological education on their part. This is an issue that is highly prevalent in today's too-modern world that places politics and economics over science and ecology.
"Perhaps the most serious obstacle impeding the evolution of a land ethic", Aldo Leopold wrote, " is the fact that our educational and economic system is headed away from, rather than toward, an intense consciousness of the land."
That absence of nature-based education has created a society that has instilled in its moral values a dangerous mindset of ecological apathy, and subsequently garnered itself the terminal diagnosis of nature deficit disorder. A "consciousness of the land" is not hard for one to develop. It only requires an open mind and a new lens to see the land, both of which are gleaned from the development of a personal land ethic and an education rich with well-rounded ecological science.
On the other hand, Leopold writes, "one of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise."
When I drive the county backroads and see new oil pads and wells sprouting up like maples in a fire-starved oak forest or bull thistle in an overgrazed pasture, I can't help but shake my head at the long-term damages done for short-term economic benefit. When the oil boom goes bust, and it will, the scars on the land will still be there. Initially, Mother Nature will attempt to lick her wounds with annual colonizing species like Common Sunflower and Saw-leaf Daisy, and her troposphere will begin to slowly oxidize and rust away man's metal litter across her broken landscapes. Wallace Stegner once wrote that the "West is the native home of hope." Some days I believe that, others I don't. There's too many people in this world who are entirely devoid of any connection to nature, and the amount of native land remaining continues to fade away under the pressures of modern development.
Since the dawn of man, we have had an eternal ecological crisis. Ecology has shown the damages and science has warned us aplenty, yet most of the world still turns a blind eye. Why? As Joy Williams points out, in Screw the Whales, Save the Shrimp, the crisis is due to man's modern culture, questionable character, and a disdain for any kind of personal consciousness regarding plant and animal life.
Further, she explains, "the ecological crisis cannot be resolved by politics. It is a crisis caused by culture and character, and a deep change in personal consciousness is needed. Your fundamental attitudes toward the earth have become twisted. You have only made brutal contact with Nature, you cannot comprehend its grace. You must change. Have few desires and simple pleasures. Honor non-human life. Control yourself, become more authentic. Live lightly upon the earth and treat it with respect. Redefine the word progress and dismiss the managers and masters. Grow inwardly and with knowledge become truly wiser. Make connections. Think differently, behave differently. For this is a moral issue we face and moral decisions must be made."
While I may appear pessimistic to some, a healthy dose of pessimism is a good thing. Having a strictly optimistic view or an equally strict pessimistic view of our world and the actions we do within it makes us miss out on the thoughts and ideas on the other side of the coin. A mix of both states of mind make for a more well-rounded person. E.B. White wrote eloquently about pessimism and optimism in regards to man's impact on nature:
"I am pessimistic about the human race because it is too ingenious for its own good. Our approach to nature is to beat it into submission. We would stand a better chance of survival if we accommodated ourselves to this planet and viewed it appreciatively instead of skeptically and dictatorially."
"I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority."
Earth is the only planet we humans have that is hospitable to us. We are only her visitors.

|Seattle, Wash.
|High School:
|Rainier Beach HS '08
Earlywine on Demissie: "Abebe simply has to learn to play harder over extended periods. He's blessed with a gift of his ability to pass the ball and handle the ball for a player 6-5. He literally can play the point. He can guard both guards and forwards and he's a good shooter when he's disciplined with his shot. He gained 18 pounds during his redshirt season and gained an unbelievable amount of strength and cut his body fat. He simply has to mature mentally and become much more focused when he comes onto the floor. Although Abebe didn't post big scoring numbers in high school, his versatility was really attractive to us. We were impressed that he was willing to play a role on an outstanding state championship team. Abebe's high school coach compares him to Kyle Weaver from Washington State (now in the NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder) as a jack-of-all-trades type of player who simply does what it takes for his team to win."
2008-09: Redshirted, but did play in EWU's exhibition games. He had a rebound in four minutes versus Carroll (11/1/08) and scored six points with a rebound and an assist versus Puget Sound (11/8/08) in a 56-42 victory.
High School: Graduated from Rainier Beach High School in 2008. Averaged 7.1 points per game as a senior to lead the Vikings to a 29-1 record and perfect 16-0 mark in the Metro League South Division. Rainier Beach won the WIAA State 3A title his senior season, winning its final 27 games of the season after losing to Franklin 95-90 in its third game of the year. The Vikings beat Lakes 53-45 in the championship game.
Personal: Born Dec. 7, 1989, in Fort Worth, Texas. Undecided on a major. Mother is Suka Alakie. Name is pronounced "Ah-bah-bay Dih-mee-see."

Clinical picture and treatment implication in a child with Capgras syndrome: a case report
Child Neuropsychiatry Unit, Department of Neuroscience, I.R.C.C.S. Children's Hospital Bambino Gesù, Rome, Italy
Journal of Medical Case Reports 2012, 6:406 doi:10.1186/1752-1947-6-406Published: 27 November 2012
Capgras syndrome is a delusional misidentification syndrome characterized by the patient's belief that his or her relatives have been replaced by impostors.
Case presentation
Here we describe the clinical picture and the therapeutic approach to an 11-year-old Caucasian girl with Capgras syndrome. A complete psychopathological assessment was conducted during the acute phase, at one month, two months and six months since diagnosis.
Subsequent follow-up evaluations in this patient allowed us to detect improvements in the psychotic symptoms following treatment with risperidone and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, suggesting that this combined therapy may significantly improve the clinical outcome in patients who have Capgras syndrome.

Montana State Law, Section 23-2-736, MCA, DUTIES OF A SKIER
(1) A skier has the duty to ski at all times in a manner that avoids injury to the skier and others and to be aware of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing. (2) A skier: (a) shall know the range of the skier's ability and safely ski within the limits of that ability and the skier's equipment so as to negotiate any section of terrain or ski slope and trail safely and without injury or damage. A skier shall know that the skier's ability may vary because of ski slope and trail changes caused by weather, grooming changes, or skier use; (b) shall maintain control of speed and course so as to prevent injury to the skier or others; (c) shall abide by the requirements of the skier responsibility code that is published by the national ski areas association and that is posted as provided in 23-2-733; (d) shall obey all posted or other warnings and instructions of the ski area operator; and (e) shall read the ski area trail map and must be aware of its contents. (3) A person may not: (a) place an object in the ski area or on the uphill track of a passenger ropeway that may cause a passenger or skier to fall; (b) cross the track of a passenger ropeway except at a designated and approved point; or (c) if involved in a skiing accident, depart from the scene of the accident without: (i) leaving personal identification; or (ii) notifying the proper authorities and obtaining assistance when the person knows that a person involved in the accident is in need of medical or other assistance. (4) A skier shall accept all legal responsibility for injury or damage of any kind to the extent that the injury or damage results from inherent dangers and risks of skiing. Nothing in this part may be construed to limit a skier's right to hold another skier legally accountable for damages caused by the other skier.
Ski Area Boundaries
The Ski Area Boundary is defined by the use of signs and/or string line. For your own safety, ski within the designated area. Whitefish Mountain Resort is not responsible for any avalanche control or rescues beyond the boundary. Areas outside the designated boundary are not patrolled. If you choose to go beyond these boundaries, you expose yourself to uncontrolled avalanche dangers and wild, unfamiliar terrain. Any rescues beyond the ski area will be coordinated by the Flathead County Sheriff's Department (406-755-5300).

To read the RicciGreene report, visit www.poughkeepsiejournal.com.
A plan is needed to deal with why offenders commit new crimes and end up at Dutchess Countys overcrowded jail, according to a new study.
Earlier screening of inmates for release from the jail should be a priority. Using data to track outcomes of jail diversion programs for specific types of offenders is another must.
And, residential beds for special populations will enhance the solid system already in place, the report by jail design firm RicciGreene Associates of New York City said.
The consultants said last years needs assessment study by Dutchess council of criminal justice leaders did a great job of identifying how to move inmates through the jail more quickly.
The design firms report, presented to the county Legislature this week, notes that even with expanded programs, the county needs a larger, modern jail with 598 to 625 beds at a cost of $150 million to $200 million. Great programs will not solve the jail problem, said Laura Maiello, associate principal of the firm. Programs in tandem with a larger jail is the right course, she said.
However, efficiencies in court-case processing and enhanced jail alternatives can have a drastic impact on how big the new jail should be, RicciGreene said. If the county can decrease an inmates length of stay to 51.4 days instead of a possible 56.4 days by 2030, the county could need 404 beds, the report said. Fewer beds translates into taxpayer savings.
But the county is experiencing the opposite trend. Inmates stayed 45 days in 2012 versus 36 days in 2007, RicciGreene said. And, 2008 marked the first time since 1999 that Dutchess admitted more inmates than it released.
Expanding on the criminal justice councils report, RicciGreene suggested these priorities:
Assess inmates for early release and programs instead of cells earlier in the criminal justice process, possibly by centralizing arraignments an idea with limited enthusiasm from some key stakeholders, the firm said.
Build a 200-bed minimum security center for special-needs population, including those with mental-health issues, and those re-entering the community.
Implement an integrated, cognitive behavioral change program for high-risk offenders.
Expand housing for juvenile and women offenders, and mental-health clients a critical gap in the county.
County Executive Marc Molinaro said the countys reality is limited funds for alternatives to incarcerations and mental-health services for inmates. A new jail would eliminate $8 million in housing-out costs, he said, savings that will free up resources to invest in the kinds of programs that we would hope, through measurable outcomes, could provide benefits to the inmates and ultimately the community.

Michigan State offensive lineman Travis Jackson

It became a rallying cry toward a Big Ten championship. And Travis Jackson's most surreal and enjoyable post-Rose Bowl experience can be summed up in one word.
"Coach D (Mark Dantonio) asked me to go in front of the Breslin Center and do the 'Yes!' chant, which was so cool," Jackson said Monday. "Not only because you have 15,000 people doing the 'Yes!' chant with you. But just a coach showing you that you're a representation of a Rose Bowl-winning football team was such an honor to me." ...

Fall favors family, football, and food. Try saying that 10 times fast.
But that's not just any kind of food. It has to be that warm-the-soul, stick-to-the-bones, tantalize-the-taste buds kind of fare.
Author Beth Hensperger has you covered in Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Family Favorites: Healthy, Wholesome Meals Your Family will Love.
Check out these recipes for Sirloin Beef Stew and Corn Kernel Corn Muffins, courtesy of The Harvard Common Press.
Recipe © 2012 by Beth Hensperger and used by permission of The Harvard Common Press.
Sirloin Beef Stew
This beef stew is unusual in that it uses sirloin steak instead of chuck or round steak stew meat. Oh my, is it good! It is adapted from a recipe I found on one of my favorite recipe blogs, Karina's Kitchen, which is devoted to gluten-free cooking. It was Karina's son who suggested using the more expensive sirloin.
Serves 4
COOKER: Large round or oval
SETTING AND COOK TIME: HIGH for 4 to 5 hours
- 2 pounds boneless top sirloin steak, cut into 2-inch chunks
- Fine sea salt to taste
- 3 tablespoons light olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 medium-size yellow onion, diced
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 large carrots, cut into 1⁄2-inch-thick rounds
- 3 stalks celery, sliced 1⁄2 inch thick
- 1 cup dry red table wine
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon crumbled mixed dried Italian or French herbs, or to taste
- (a combination of thyme, sage, rosemary, and/or basil, or herbes de Provence)
- 1 bay leaf
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Coat the inside of the crock with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Season the beef with salt. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef, in batches, and brown quickly on all sides, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to the crock as it browns.
3. Add the garlic, onion, potatoes, carrots, and celery to the crock, then the wine, broth, vinegar, herbs, bay leaf, and pepper. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender. Serve hot.
Corn Kernel Corn Muffins
Makes 12 muffins
There is something just plain wonderful about fresh-out-of-the-oven corn muffins. These muffins are great to serve as an accompaniment to your chilis and stews, but they're also good with egg dishes and soups. Look for corn flour, the finest grind of cornmeal, in the specialty flour section of a well-stocked supermarket or natural foods store. I use Bob's Red Mill brand.
- 1 cup all-purpose fl our
- 1 cup medium-grind yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground, or corn fl our
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1⁄2 cup frozen baby corn kernels, thawed, or kernels cut fresh off the cob
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons light olive oil
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter or coat the wells of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, or use paper muffin liners.
2. In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the buttermilk, corn kernels, whole egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and olive oil. Stir just until all the ingredients are moistened yet thoroughly blended. Take care not to overmix. The batter will be thick and lumpy.
3. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups until almost level with the tops of the cups. Bake until the tops are golden, a cake tester comes out clean, and the tops of the muffins are springy to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before turning the muffins out of the cups to cool on a wire rack. These are good to eat right away with butter but are also delicious at room temperature.

My name is Jonquil or Dreadful Jonquil. I am a
niche hair designer RECENTLY RELOCATED and currently living in Spokane Wa.
I have been licensed since 1993 and actively industry oriented since 1991. I began training at Huron Valley Beauty Academy in Ann Arbor Mi, during my junior year of high school. I worked on U of M's campus in downtown Ann Arbor at a shop called "Campus Barber and Beauty salon" till I made the big move to Seattle in 1997. I have studied advanced service methods for extensions, dreadlocks, and hair architecture under ALin Leslie at Dollylocks salon near Tampa Fla. and Melinda Hurt at Doctored Locks in Spokane Wa. * BOTH exquisite teachers!*
I specialize in combining form with function in hair design. Although I am particularly inspired by myth, magic, and macabre, I am also very deft at developing amazing hair that can perform in an office setting as well as a festival or theatric event. I strive to create hair that is as much of an eyeful as it is natural feeling and easy to care for.
My current professional focus includes natural dreadlocks, creation and maintenance AND hand tied hair extension application of both natural and synthetic hair. I design comfortably placed, smooth seamless dreadlocks and believe wholeheartedly in my creation and maintenance protocols. I offer Micro pinchbraid application extensions to enhance integrity and interest of ones natural hair...as well as dramatic new length over all..... I have spent many years cultivating an awareness to fine details, precision, mobility and comfort and recognizing an individual's unique ideas about themselves and the aesthetic they wish to convey.I am a hair design architect with a rich and diverse background and I have endless imagination when it comes to creating hair that compliments faeries, vampires, and aliens to name a few scenarios.
Contact Me if you might be interested in becoming a client
Please email me, AFTER, you read the content on my site. I am happy to answer or elaborate on info of your SPECIFIC questions pertaining to service, care, and maintenance for the options I offer. Additionally, if you have questions about a particular image of hair I have created, I can offer explanations of the service or services that were employed to produce that result.

Muted browns and wistful pale blues stretched across artist Patricia Barkman's canvas. Her oils and brush strokes caught fading sunlight and shadows lengthening across Taunton Lake, reaching for the far shore where bare trees stood waiting for spring. The scene also captured the early March sky mirrored on the lake. Describing the shadows and colors, she said, "It's winter light."
Walking through snow clinging to her backyard bordering the lake, Ms Barkman pointed past the end of her dock to a small table and two chairs set out on the frozen lake. She planned to have a glass of wine out there as dusk fell, enjoying the scene and surrounded by ice. Mentioning the sky, changing daylight, and reflections in puddles, she said, "It takes on beautiful colors."
Although the sun shines and fades across the setting every day, it often changes, Ms Barkman said. "Paintings of course may go where you don't expect, colors vary from hour to hour and those reflected in the ice are amazing — cobalt blue, greenish blue, or gray, and the reflections from the far bank — burnt sienna, orange yellow… the puddles light up with those colors."
First describing late winter's dying sunlight on Taunton Lake in an e-mail sent to The Bee on March 7, Ms Barkman wrote of her 36-by-36-inch oil painting of Taunton Lake "in the late afternoon sun when the blue shadows in the foreground are getting longer across the ice and the warmth of the sun saturates the glow on the far shore."
Several days later as Ms Barkman headed toward the table in its frigid setting, she offered reassurances that the ice was thick. A warm afternoon had turned the top several inches into slush, catching her footprints toward the table as if in sand.
Wearing her floppy "Rembrandt hat," Ms Barkman spoke of scenic views that had inspired her painting, again mentioning "the saturated colors and shadows in the foreground and the undisturbed bank on the far side" of Taunton Lake.
Of course her "love of the lake" also fed her creativity.
Ms Barkman does a painting for each season, if not more than one, she said.
Her winter scenes can be challenging, since her paints are water-based. If they should freeze, then painting is done for the day.
Her fondness for the lakeside setting and her house in particular started years ago. "I had always loved Taunton Lake, and wanted to live by water."
When she first saw the house where she lives now, she said, "I held my breath" until her late husband Leon Barkman saw it too. She said the two of them then "both held our breath" until their dream 18 years ago to buy the house came true. Ms Barkman has lived in Newtown for 44 years, the last 18 of which she has spent often gazing out a large living room window overlooking Taunton Lake and its far shore.

GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers will open the 2014 regular season in Seattle against the defending Super Bowl-champion Seahawks on Thursday, Sept. 4, and they'll play four more prime-time games this season.
Despite finishing just 8-7-1 last season after losing starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the better part of eight games to a fractured collarbone, the Packers still clearly hold plenty of national appeal, as the NFL opted for them in the kickoff game over the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, both of whom are also on the Seahawks' slate.
The Packers played host to the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field in the NFL Kickoff game in 2011, after winning Super Bowl XLV the season before. Since the NFL started having the defending champion open the season at home on the first Thursday in September in 2004, the champion has only lost once at home – two years ago, when the Dallas Cowboys beat the defending champion New York Giants in the 2012 opener. (The defending champion Baltimore Ravens lost at Denver in the 2013 opener after the Baltimore Orioles wouldn't move the start time of their game, forcing the Ravens to open on the road.)
The Packers' other prime-time games will be on Thursday, Oct. 2 against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field on Thursday Night Football on CBS and NFL Network, Sunday, Oct. 26 at New Orleans on Sunday Night Football on NBC at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome; Sunday, Nov. 9 against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Sunday Night Football on NBC; and Monday, Dec. 8 at Lambeau Field against the Atlanta Falcons on ESPN's Monday Night Football.

Written by Keiko Tanaka On 3 February 2014 @ 15:34 pm | 1 Comment
In Arts & Culture, Digital Activism, East Asia, English, Japan, Japanese, Music, Quick Reads
Fresh off writing a series of posts on dance club regulations in Japan for Tokyo's city life magazine Time Out [1], James Hadfield is taking a survey [2]on clubbers around the world:
In light of the ongoing controversy regarding clubbing in Japan, where clubs continue to be shut down and harassed by the police for the 'crime' of dancing, Time Out Tokyo is looking to get to the bottom of the problem. We'd like you to tell us a few things about the clubbing environment in your country, city, or area, wherever in the world that may be.

It isn't a perfect sweep, but Verizon's network comes out on top in a network quality study.
Verizon Wireless once again gets singled out in semiannual survey. Also highlighted: overall call quality throughout the industry has become stagnant.
Survey points to close battle between Apple and Amazon, which enjoy a wide lead over the rest of the pack.

"I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me... Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler.'"
Rolling Stone, 2009
"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud. I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted."
Email to Andrew Sullivan, published on The Daily Beast, 2012
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay. I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation."
Sports Illustrated, 2013
"...but in light of jamey [Rodemeyer]'s death — it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it — is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality."
ZacharyQuinto.com, following his New York profile, 2011
"I realized I could only truly enjoy my life once I was honest. Honesty is a bitch, but makes life so simple and clear. My secret is gone, I am a free man, I can move on and live my life as my creator intended."
Personal blog, 2013
"The thing is, I'm not ashamed — that's the one thing I want to say. I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy."
People, 2006
"I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love."
People, 2006
"Thank you for your kind invitation. However, as a gay man, I must decline. I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government. The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly."
Letter to a Russian film festival, 2013
"I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."
People, 2008
"I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids were born with. These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed."

Punxsutawney Phil is held by Ron Ploucha after emerging from his burrow Sunday on Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa., to see his shadow and forecast six more weeks of winter weather.

Punxsutawney Phil, the world's most famous fuzzy forecaster, popped out of his burrow Sunday morning and predicted six more weeks of winter, much to the disappointment of the crowd gathered at Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania.
According to folklore, if it's cloudy when the groundhog emerges, the critter will leave his burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If it's a sunny day, Phil will supposedly see his shadow and, frightened, retreat back into his burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.

For the first time since April, more people hold a favorable view of President Barack Obama than an unfavorable view, in the ABC News/Washington Post survey this week that portrays the presidential contest as virtually tied among those most likely to vote.
Obama's favorability rating in the survey — 52 percent — also stands eight points higher than Republican Mitt Romney's, in the poll of registered voters conducted during three days following the Democratic National Convention.
The president's balance of ratings has returned to a positive view — 52 favorable, 45 percent unfavorable — after dipping "underwater" last week following the Republican National Convention.
Romney's balance remains underwater, in pollster Gary Langer's term — 44 percent favorable, 49 percent unfavorable — marking the 12th time in 14 ABC/Post polls this year that the voting public has expressed a more negative than positive view of the Republican nominee.
Obama's standing has improved within his own party, Langer Research Associates found, with 89 percent viewing him favorably — and his standing has improved to 53-44 among women after sliding into negative territory following the Republican convention.
At the same time, the president's standing among independent registered voters has changed little — 46 percent negative, 49 percent positive in the latest survey, compared with 45 percent negative, 51 percent positive last week.
`While neither Romney (in particular) nor Obama are in a strong position in terms of personal popularity, others have done worse in previous post-convention polling – a comparative improvement especially for Romney, whose favorability ratings before the convention were the lowest for any presumptive nominee in pre-convention ABC/Post polls dating to 1984," Langer reports.
In previous post-convention polling, two Democratic presidential candidates received at least numerically lower favorability ratings than Obama's and Romney's today — Senator John Kerry in 2004 and Michael Dukakis in 1988.
The ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted Sept. 5-9, a survey of 837 registered voters with a possible margin of error of four percentage points.

1. Collect boxes/bags
2. Go thru every closet, drawer, bin, cabinet
3. Remove anything not used in the last 6 months (exceptions allowed for holidays) like rusting cookie sheets, cosmetics, May-be-someday-clothing, 10-of-12-nail files, picture frames, knicky-knacks, even (gasp!) little pieces of stash fabrics/notions...you get the idea.
4. Divide neatly for donations, garage sale, or re-cycle. Hopefully the car trunk should be full.
5. Avoid H's garage--where I could personally de-stash by 3/4.
6. Sit back, have a glass of wine, say AAH, and gear up for some
summer patio reading or new online fabric stashing...?
I laughed when I read your post I have decided that I NEED to clean out my house. My house isn't over stuffed with things, but I do have a lot of stuff and every closet, drawer seems like its full!
The thought of cleaning out - trying to decide what stays and what goes is daunting! I look in my hall closet, the basement, the back closet, the utility closet, my dresser drawers and I feel OVERWHELMED!
So, I have decided to just do one little area (A drawer? A closet? A shelf?) once a week. Maybe I won't make HUGE progress but I will be - hopefully - be making progress!!
I am taking the "5 items per day" approach -- started this in my MBR walk-in closet and another junk collector closet. Each day I take 5 items out of each closet and do something permanent with it -- it gets put away in its proper place, tossed, filed or put in the appropriate box for upcoming garage sale. I have so far cleaned off 2 shelves in the junk closet (which will become a games closet -- we're a huge board game playing family) and almost have the floor of the walk-in cleaned out.
Given my hectic lifestyle I can't usually set aside an entire day for doing cleaning related projects so this way the job eventually gets done and I can fit it into my busy days. It's kind of like the "30 mins a day" approach to sewing (which has also worked in my personal sewing endeavours).
"sewing very slowly to fill an empty closet"
2014 Stash Tally: 106.625 yds out/145.125 yds in (net +38.5 yds)
2015 Stash Busting:
88.0 yds sewn (as of 11/29/15)
121.25 yds purchased (as of 11/29/15)
"I am a degenerate art supply junkie" - Jane Davenport
I just went to the thrift store and dropped off 2 of the 13 gallon garbage bags full of stuff. I am sure I can find a lot more if I just try.
Now, garage sale season is just around the corner, so hopefully more stuff from some else's garage will not find its way into my home---again.

Already did my spring cleaning and purge.. even DHs space..
I was going to clean up the yard.. but since I have done all my homework.. can I just drink that glass of wine instead ?
Running that campaign like crazy is all the Mission you now need!
I have no problem with the advice to get rid of things you've never used and know you never will use or use again... but the arbitrary "haven't used in 6 months/a year/whatever" rules seem silly and short-sighted to me. For instance, I used to do a lot of cake decorating, and still will for family birthdays. But DH's and my birthdays are more than six months apart. If I got rid of all my cake decorating supplies because I hadn't used them in 6 months, I'd have to re-buy every time I wanted to decorate a cake! (And maybe that's only ever 2-3 YEARS, but I'm darn glad to have the stuff when I want it!)
Also, take things like crutches. I haven't used mine in 12 years and hope to heck I never need them again, but there's no way I'm getting rid of them! Some things you REALLY don't want to have to buy twice.
I know a lot of people don't agree, but I'd rather have things when I need them, then regret getting rid of something that was perfectly useful, and then have to get another one.
------~Gem in the prairie
I dropped off a carload of stuff at Goodwill just the other day.
Spring Cleaning and getting rid of stuff always makes me feel so good. Over the past 12 years or so we have moved as many times, and I've gotten pretty good at purging before each move. I have never missed anything I've gotten rid of (except for one bag of baby clothes that I would never have used again anyway), but every single move without fail, I find more stuff I wish I had gotten rid of before the move - it would have saved me the trouble of unpacking it! -- Edited on 3/30/12 7:26 PM --
------Kenmore 158.14101

The #3 rule does not appeal to me, as I'm still using up some stuff from even 20 years or so back. Also some antique over even 100 years old stuff of once other people's too. Also some of the stuff from maybe 20 years or so back, is actually made pretty good, and would cost me 10 times as much to buy the same today. So, I'm keeping those kind of things.
But I for sure agree if it's the color or feel of some fabric/clothes you don't like and/or they are too small, tight or are uncomfortable, and so not using or wearing them at all; no matter how long you keep them, that kind of thing usually never gets any better with time at all! Unless you eventually have children that might fit into them or like the color better. But even then, there taste in colors or fabric might not match up either. Might as well jetison those, to just make way for new to you "good stuff" you might actually use instead!

The University of Nevada will sell 100 tickets for $10 each one hour before most home men's basketball game this season at Lawlor Events Center.
Fans can purchase the tickets at the ticket office at Section 36 at the top of the main stairs on the south side of Lawlor Events Center and will also enter the game at that gate.
Nevada is offering the reduced-price tickets in response to the downturn in the economy and for fans who wish to purchase tickets at the last minute. The 100 stand-by tickets will not be available for the UNLV game on Dec. 6 or the North Carolina game on Dec. 31.
The Wolf Pack takes on Oregon State on Saturday, Nov. 22 in its home opener. Saturday's game will tip off at 7:05 p.m. at Lawlor Events Center.
