Neither my ex (let's call him X) nor I had really wanted a divorce. What we'd wanted was a baby. I believe we shared a frustrating sense that during our few years together we had not had a fair chance—almost as if we were teenagers whose love had been muddied by the adults. In fact, we were old enough to be the parents of teenagers (X was the father of three terrific adolescent boys), but we had conducted our relationship with the kind of abandon you'd never want your kids to indulge in: work tossed aside for three-hour phone calls in the middle of the day, urgent (overpriced) rendezvous travel, lots of anywhere-anytime lovemaking. We married five months after we met. The wedding happened four days after the proposal. It was a romantic binge, a spree.
What followed was equally intense, a marriage that accordioned time and distance. I left the Pacific Northwest, where I was a visiting professor, and moved to the Midwest city of X's university, where there was no work for me, so I flew in and out of New York City, where I did have work. When we weren't in airports, we were in medical offices, dealing with two pregnancies that ended in miscarriage, two surgeries and innumerable visits to doctors, who ranged from dismissive ("You're 39. You don't have many good eggs left") to disquieting ("There are tests we can do to see if you are allergic to your husband's sperm").
Infertility and geography, along with the tricky economics of maintaining and traveling between two households, were among the stressors that turned us into overbearing adults who muddied our own young love. Two weeks before our third anniversary was our court date. Though neither of us had contested the dissolution of our marriage, we felt battered, bruised and very tired. "Listen," X said as we exited the courtroom, "I'm following you home to make sure you're all right." It was a seven-hour drive to the city where a year earlier I'd begun a new job and bought a house. When I had to pull off the interstate to nap, X parked his car next to my rented van and read.
We got to my house late, so he slept on the couch. The next day, he helped me unpack the van. One day's help turned into a couple days' visit. After X got home, we indulged in long e-mails and phone calls and tried to ignore the irony that in the aftermath of our divorce, we were turning to each other for comfort. Unsure if we were being brave or rash, we decided it would be OK if he drove back up for a weekend visit.
Is anything lovelier than reconciliation? You both say such gentle things. You treat each other to sweet, small attentions. You offer favors, half your dessert. In fact, it was at dinner on the second day of X's visit that my fever and abdominal pains began. "Really," I said, sliding over my plate of pie, "you're welcome to the whole thing."
The pain got worse, wrapped across my middle and swung around to my back. The only doctor I knew in town was the fertility goddess I'd visited in my last-ditch efforts to conceive, and she was away at a conference. X took me to the ER, where my suspicion was confirmed: The fibroid tumor discovered during my pregnancies had grown and was now infected. I was admitted for major IV antibiotics. X canceled his classes and stayed with me until my doctor returned to schedule surgery. "Next Monday," she told me. "You can go home until then." Offhand, she added, "But you'll need to continue the antibiotics through the weekend."
"OK," I said. "If you'll call in the prescription, we can pick it up on the way home."
"Oh, no, you need IV meds."
I was confused. "A nurse comes to the house?"
"No nurse," Dr. Goddess scoffed. "You two can do it."
"No, we can't. We're writers." When I had the chance, I pulled her aside. "We just got divorced. We don't always get along. We're not medical people." For emphasis, I added, "He's a poet."
"Oh, come on." Dr. Goddess actually laughed. "You two I'm not worried about. You should see some of the people who go home with these procedures. Really, it's easy."
It was complicated. I left the hospital with an IV port inserted into the top of my hand. A nurse came to my house once, to show us the ropes, and then she left. X would have to flush out the line by injecting a syringe of saline solution. After the drip was administered, he'd have to flush out the line again. There were two drugs, each injected within one hour of the other and given four times daily. The schedule: noon, 1 pm, 6 pm, 7 pm, 11 pm, midnight, 6 am, 7 am. For four days, X set the alarm for the early-morning treatments. Coming downstairs to the "sickroom," he was unfailingly upbeat, but we were both bleary eyed. Flushing the line was the scariest part. We referred to the nurse's notes meticulously each time. Watching X's steadiness and precision as he filled the syringe and flicked it to dislodge air bubbles, I remembered how much I'd always loved his hands. "I'm sorry you got stuck doing this," I whispered. "You're a good nurse."
"I'm glad I'm here," he whispered back.
As he completed each of the treatments successfully, we were giddy with relief. We laughed a lot that weekend, but we never got over being frightened. We were in over our heads. We were sleep deprived. We were divorced.
And yet, during those days I felt profoundly married. How easy it suddenly seemed—to be not only in love but also in alliance, to have each other's back. What was that divorce all about? Had a loaf of bread really flown across the kitchen and smashed against the wall? (Me, on Clomid.) Had there really been predawn scream fests in the garage? (Him, as I was leaving, again, for the airport.) How many couples counselors' offices had he stormed out of? Had I really packed a U-Haul one day and then greeted him when he returned from work with the news "I'm outta here"?
During marriage, so many doors had slammed shut on us that we'd begun to slam them shut, literally, on each other. But now, postdivorce and trusting my care to my ex, I finally felt admitted into the deep heart of the secret of what goes on between two people when they conceive a new life—conceive as in visualize, believe in. How could this potent feeling, at once newborn and sage, not bring forth something as monumental as family? I remember thinking, If I ever have children, this kind of love is the air I would want them to breathe daily.
Married, X and I had had sublime times, but they never lasted longer than two weeks before some skirmish erupted between us. Our letdowns and flare-ups, along with our passionate truces, had whipped us around in an endless loop. Desperate for clarity, I'd clung to logic to carve out a path: "Fact: We've not been able to stop the chaos in our marriage. Fact: I will not give up hope of someday having a child. Fact: There's no way I will bring a child into chaos. Therefore . . ." Divorce had seemed the only logical solution. But it was a terrible solution, and I'd needed a lot of handholding from friends. Now, when those friends heard that I was sick and that X was taking care of me, all they could say was, "What is going on?" I had no idea. I just knew it was powerful and beyond logic.
Months down the road in our fragile reconciliation, X and I realized that one of the main reasons we'd felt compelled to come together postdivorce was that we couldn't move forward in any direction until we mourned the babies we'd lost through miscarriage. X suggested we plant a memorial garden in my backyard. Rather than daisies or other flowers commonly associated with infants, I chose irises. Those complicated inside-out blooms seemed more appropriate to our situation. Though X and I continued to get along so well that we sometimes joked about marrying each other again, we both knew we couldn't go backward. Every few weekends, we visited in his town or mine. I grieved with him, I grieved alone. Trying to figure out if I should or could or should not become a single mother, I talked to doctors about new regimens of fertility drugs and other medical options, but none felt right for me. And then one autumn Sunday morning over long-distance phone, I admitted to X that I was making lists of all the opportunities that would be available to me if I lived out my days as a childless person: I could travel, buy cashmere, live in Paris. "But I can't do it," I cried. "I can't give up the idea of being a mother."
"But you shouldn't give it up," X said. "You already are a mother. You just have to figure out how to make it happen."
Even after so many failures, X still believed I had a chance. And if I was, as he said, already a mother, didn't that qualify me to step in and sweep my arms around an already-born baby who needed a mother? Already. All ready. With those words, the seed of the idea of adoption was firmly planted in my heart. Two and a half years later, I adopted a four-month-old baby, Leo.
X did notbecome my son's adoptive father, nor did he become a father figure to him. They've never met and most likely never will. X was with me right up until I reached the threshold of motherhood, but a few months before I got word from Vietnam of my baby's birth, our reconciliation ended. The arguments had begun again. Our good intentions and mutual attraction had run out. Was it the weekend X visited and saw the high chair in my kitchen? The day I got lost among the racks of tiny clothes at the Carter's outlet? Did he begin to feel left out? Bored? And was I kidding myself? I had ended the marriage and opted for single motherhood, yet I'd hoped that X, in some murky role as "friend of family," would stay by my side. Was there logic in that? What I know for sure is that couples are ever inventive in the ways they manage to disappoint each other. There was one last fiery clash, and then X and I moved on separately to the next lives we were meant to live. I hear that he has remarried. I wish him well, as I do his boys, who are now men and thriving.
Leo is 11. He loves science. Recently, he asked me, "Do I have to believe in God? There's no proof, so how can I believe?"
"Honey, no one can ever tell you what to believe. That's the whole point of belief. It comes from inside you." I told him the truth as I know it, yet I kept thinking there was something more I wanted to say on this topic—something about mystery and faith, which may not be part of science but which have been, at times, very real in my life.
Then the other day, picking through the Legos piled deep in our sunroom turned playroom, trying to remember what the house looked like before it became a toy pit, I flashed on the memory of that odd long-ago weekend when this tiny room with the daybed and TV was transformed into a sickroom, syringe wrappings and IV tubing scattered across the floor, and I realized that though Leo never saw that scene, it's always here with us. Like a single thread of color woven into the pillow coverings of our playroom, that IV weekend—and the generous love it inspired—is a pointillist pinpoint in the fabric of our family life.
It can't be scientifically proved, but I do believe that weekend was the beginning of the long conception that eventually brought Leo and me together. I probably would have found my way to single motherhood without my ex-husband, but I'm glad I didn't have to. Years earlier, he had been the first and only man ever to whisper to me in the night, "Want to make a baby?"
And in time, in the most mysterious way, we did.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Summer/Fall 2010 issue.
Mmm ... from freshly baked cinnamon buns to savory sausages to canned chutneys and salsas, the sight, scent and taste of edible treats made from scratch have captivated our senses for generations. After all, who can resist the idea of apple pie, blueberry jam or hot tamales, all homemade? Even Madison Avenue has attempted to capitalize on the term "homemade" by attaching it to myriad products available at grocery stores. But in this day and age, when words such as "organic," "natural" and "fresh" have become increasingly important in our nutritional vocabulary, it is reassuring to discover the increasing variety of Puerto Vallarta residents, Mexican and otherwise, who have honed their culinary skills and put them to good use by creating all sorts of tasty "real thing" rewards for our discerning palates.
This is certainly not new for longtime Vallartenses who, for years, have been in the know about "the lady that makes pies" or "the guy that delivers sausages at home" and so forth. But the advent of farmers' markets all over Banderas Bay—particularly in Puerto Vallarta's South Side and Sayulita in Riviera Nayarit—has encouraged many culinary artists to come out in the open, making their products available to a broader audience. Joining the cottage industry in Puerto Vallarta has allowed these creators to find a fun and profitable way to keep busy, or perhaps dive into an unexpected second career—and in the case of those who sell their goods at the farmers' markets, the opportunity to have a reliable storefront. Regardless, they enrich the Puerto Vallarta experience by adding character to our community.
We set out to meet some of the individuals who make a regular appearance at such markets and quickly found that their stories and backgrounds are as rich and diverse as the products they make. Some of them, particularly the bakers, keep odd schedules, having to do most of their baking before dawn in order to avoid the summer heat! And needless to say, we discovered that it would be impossible to pay tribute to them all in one installment. So we share some of them with you, along with choice images representing the many products available around the bay, hoping to connect with more of them in the future.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Trees, Shrubs, & Vines
Shrubs for the Perennial Garden
by Kate Jerome
Onandaga viburnum in its spring glory!
When we think of shrubs, most of us picture foundation plants or a shrub border. Of course shrubs are naturals for these situations, but there is another setting for shrubs -- especially blooming ones -- that we don't always consider: the perennial garden. Blooming shrubs lend the beauty of their flowers to the perennial garden, and also supply something else that most perennial gardens need: "bones," or a sense of structure.
Here in the Midwest, ornamental shrubs suited to the perennial garden fall into two categories. The first group responds to our climate like herbaceous perennials do, dying back to the ground in winter and sending up new shoots in spring. Unlike many large herbaceous perennials, they grow big enough to make an impact, but their woody stems are generally quite sturdy and seldom need support to keep them upright. Because of their habit of dying back to the ground, most of them are mid- to late-summer bloomers, another plus in the perennial garden. And there's no mystery to pruning them-just cut the dead stems back to the ground in the spring!
In milder years the stems of these shrubs may stay alive through the winter, but in most cases they die completely. Even if some of the stems do stay alive, it is a good idea to cut them back in spring for a more attractive plant. The stems tend to look leggy and sparse when they survive the winter.
The other group includes fully hardy shrubs whose multiple charms change with the seasons. In addition to colorful, fragrant blossoms, many have striking foliage in summer and autumn. Gardeners especially welcome their presence in winter. As dormant "sculptures," they catch snow, and show off their colorful bark, geometric stems, or dried blossoms or fruit that hang on through winter. (An added bonus is that persistent fruits attract birds to the winter garden.)
Here's a selection of my favorites from each category.
Dieback Shrubs
Hypericum 'Hidcote'
Butterfly Bush (Buddleia). The sweetly scented, bottlebrush flower clusters are absolute magnets for a wide variety of butterflies. This durable plant will thrive in almost any well-drained soil as long as it is in a sunny spot. Colors range from clear white to pink to the deepest purple-black, and some have variegated foliage.
Hypericum 'Hidcote'. This delightful plant grows only about 3 feet high but is graced with delicately arching stems; tidy, blue-green foliage; and bright, lemon-yellow blossoms with a fireworks display of prominent stamens. These sturdy shrubs perform best in full sun and well-drained soil.
Bluebeard (Caryopteris). Bluebeard comes on strong in spring with silvery, almost-white toothed foliage, followed by the clearest blue, starry flowers in late summer. Together these colors are magnificent. There are cultivars available with dark purple flowers and light powder-blue flowers as well. Give it full sun and well-drained soil.
Beautyberry (Callicarpa). This plant is generally grown for its lovely purplish pink fruits. The pink flowers appear amidst deep green flowers in midsummer, followed by berries that are spectacular when the leaves drop in the fall. This dieback shrub will tolerate some shade.
Chaste-Tree (Vitex). Chaste-tree is similar in appearance to bluebeard except that the blossoms are in large panicles of blue-purple. It also needs full sun and well-drained soil.
'Annabelle' Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens). Although a few of its stems usually survive the winter, this old-fashioned beauty is best used as a dieback shrub. Prune back surviving stems in spring so they won't detract from the lush new growth and full flower heads.

About Botswana
With its long history of stable democracy, Botswana is a strong ally of the United States. Throughout most of the last half century, the country has experienced robust economic growth. It is now considered a middle-income country, although there are concerns about the economy's dependence on diamond mining. People have better access to education and clean water than others in sub-Saharan Africa, but they struggle with one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the world. Nearly one-quarter of adults are infected with HIV, placing a heavy burden on social services and the economy.
USAID programs focus on the alleviation of HIV/AIDS in the country. We also strengthen indigenous organizations and the Government of Botswana by bringing technical expertise and financial support to support the county's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Regional programs also address economic growth and environment, increase regional trade, enhance agricultural production, and ensure sound management of trans-boundary natural resources. Programs support three Presidential Initiatives: the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, Feed the Future, and the Global Climate Change initiative.
Our activities in Botswana are managed by the USAID Southern Africa regional office.

Delaware's Division of Public Health (DPH) confirmed a human West Nile virus case in the Middletown area, bringing the state's total cases to seven.
The case is said to be mild and the individual's prognosis is good. Seven cases is the second largest yearly total in state history; surpasses only by 2003 in which there were 17 West Nile virus cases. West Nile virus is transmitted by mosquitoes when they bite.
To avoid mosquito bites and reduce the risk of infection, residents should:
- Wear insect repellent containing less than 30 percent DEET for adults; less than 10 percent DEET for children, when outside during spring, summer or fall.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants in mosquito-infested areas.
- Avoid being outside during peak mosquito activity such as during dusk, evening or early morning.
- Drain or remove items that collect water and provide mosquito-breeding habitat such as buckets, rain barrels, old tires, blocked rain gutters and unused swimming pools.

Superintendent's Message
Welcome to the Mountain View School District. Our district has experienced a long and cherished reputation for high academic standards and student performance. The quality reputation our district enjoys has been achieved through the hard work and diligence of our staff members, both at the school sites and district office. Exceptional student achievement and performance are the result of high quality instruction by a committed staff of professionals dedicated to the success of children. Our district's academic program is aligned with California's curricular standards, which includes the use of standards-aligned, state and district approved textbooks and materials. Staff members receive professional development to ensure continued quality instruction in the classroom.
Mountain View School District has within its attendance boundaries, three elementary schools: Mountain View Elementary School, Creek View Elementary School, and Ranch View Elementary School, all of which educate children in grades K-5. We also have one middle school, Grace Yokley Middle School educating children in grades 6-8. All four schools are beautifully maintained facilities offering students a challenging and enriched academic program.
The most recent release of the spring 2013 STAR test scores indicates that our students do very well academically. The state has established an Academic Performance Index (API) target of 800 for all schools and districts in California. In 2013, our district's API score was (819). Each of our elementary schools has an API score above the established 800 threshold: Creek View (862), Ranch View (828), and Mountain View (846). Our middle school, Grace Yokley has an API score of (789).
Mountain View School District has experienced a decline in student enrollment over the last few years, but the decline does seem to have leveled off. We anticipate that our enrollment in 2014-2015 will be similar to that in 2013-2014. Even though we know the recent decline over the last few years is temporary, it does have a significant impact on our budget. Adjustments in spending are made to coincide with the funding received by the district.
Thank you for visiting our website, and I encourage you to explore its contents, which are continually updated to provide you with the most current information regarding our district and schools. The district website has links to each of our schools for your convenience.
Rick Carr, Ed.D.

Diane Keaton is eating the smallest pieces of cheese you've ever seen. Sitting in the Oak Bar at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, she readies each bite the way a scientist might prepare a slide for a microscope: She snaps off a teeny-weeny corner of flatbread, tops it with a dot of cheese, then daubs it with apple compote. She's not fussy about it—she does it gracefully—and she maintains a kaleidoscopic conversation throughout. It's hard to see this as actual eating though, since after two hours, more remains on her plate than was consumed. But the ritual keeps her busy, and she likes to be busy. And it quickly becomes obvious that Diane Keaton doesn't run on food. She's fueled by her bottomless curiosity and delight.
On this summer afternoon, her outfit is quintessentially quirky—oversize gray bowler hat, small square glasses with green lenses, a pair of leather necklaces, a crisp white shirt, a black leather belt with silver studs, jeans with extra-large cuffs and black suede peep toe wedges, through which dark red nail polish glints—and every diner entering the bar does a double take when they spy her. "Isn't it great that we're here in this historic place, which I love?" she asks. (She has good reason to think fondly of the Plaza: Her adopted son, Duke, now eight, was delivered to her in a hotel room here one Valentine's Day, five years after she adopted her daughter, Dexter, now 13.) In fact, Keaton is loving everything about New York today: the new High Line park ("It's a magical spot"), the New York Stock Exchange (It's the most beautiful building!"), even the arms and armor room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a collection she had never been attracted to before.
"My kids became entranced with the armor, so I started looking at it, and it's fantastic!" Keaton says. "It's like, what were they doing wearing these things on their bodies, and how did they move?" She lives her life in question marks and exclamation points, and listening to her is like drinking Champagne: Pretty soon you feel giddy too.
"Diane is so enormously fun," says Martin Short, a friend since he worked with Keaton on 1991's Father of the Bride. "Her laugh is contagious and generous, her take on life and how it should be lived—you're envious of it and want to emulate it. There is no one like her, and if anyone is, it's because they're trying to be like her."
Keaton has been in New York for a month shooting the comedy Morning Glory, directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill). In the film, due for release next year, she plays Colleen Peck, a yappy, testy former Miss Arizona who anchors a failing morning news show and gets riled when her producer (Rachel McAdams) brings in a fading news heavyweight (Harrison Ford) to goose the ratings. "I can't stress enough how much fun it was to work with her," Ford says. "Diane's skill as an actress is remarkable. She creates a very realistic structure for all her energy, so it's not just yakety-yak; it's storytelling. And we had great conversations about art and architecture, about which she has well-developed expertise. Even if she does put ice in her red wine." They became friendly enough that Ford flew Keaton back to L.A. in his jet—which he piloted. Because she's an anxious flier, Keaton jokes that she armed herself with medicine to calm her nerves. Ford says she was fine. "She was also stoned out of her goo-goo," he deadpans.
Keaton claims not to know the difference between collagen, Restylane and Botox. But she knew that her character in Morning Glory would be well versed in all things antiaging. "She's a warhorse, and I felt like she should be extraordinarily vain," Keaton says. "I think these anchors—if there are any my age left, which is why I was sort of amazed they cast me—they all look fantastic."

Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.) issued a statement Monday regarding the Supreme Court's announcement that it will review a lower court decision on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.
On Aug. 21, 2012, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court voted 2-1 to vacate the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule in EME Homer City Generation v. EPA.
Senator Carper issued the following statement:
"I've said it before, and I will say it again: I believe the D.C. Circuit Court got it wrong in August when it decided to vacate the EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule," said Senator Carper. "This rule has been upheld and supported by a majority of the U.S. Senate and protects the health of millions of Americans, including thousands of children with asthma and other respirator diseases. That is why today's news that the Supreme Court will hear an appeal of the lower court's decision on the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule is music to my ears. The court's decision will be crucial for the health of citizens like those in my home state of Delaware, where we have made tremendous strides in cleaning up our harmful air pollution but still are forced to live with the dirty air that drifts northeast from our western neighbors. I – and many of my colleagues that also represent downwind states – will be watching this case very closely, and I sincerely hope that we will see a better outcome than the one rendered by the D.C. Circuit Court."

text: A notable Irish draftsman (b. 1943 in Mullingar, County Westmeath), Patrick Graham focuses on themes that involve autocracy and repression. Graham was trained at Dublin's National College of Art and came to artistic maturity in that city, the center of Irish literary, artistic and political expression, during the turbulent 1960s. Art critic Marge Bulmer notes, "His work argues that the repression of emotion makes tragedy inevitable and unbearable. It enables you to identify with both victim and perpetrator, both susceptible to a myriad of paradoxical emotions." Graham is widely recognized in the Los Angeles area through gallery and other exhibitions. The recipient of many awards, the artist has been honored for his professional accomplishments in his native Ireland and internationally.

Looks like you'll have to weld in a front trunnion from something, though.

Mocha Truffles RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review

Nothing compares to the melt-in-your-mouth flavor of these truffles...or to the simplicity of the recipe. Whenever I make them for my family or friends, they're quickly devoured. No one has to know how easy they are to prepare! -Stacy Abell, Olathe, Kansas
- 2 packages (12 ounces each) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 pound dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped
- White candy coating, optional
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Beat in cream cheese. Dissolve coffee in water; add to cream cheese and beat until smooth.
- Chill until firm enough to shape. Shape into 1-in. balls and place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Chill for 1-2 hours or until firm.
- In a microwave, melt chocolate coating; stir until smooth. Dip balls in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Melt white coating and drizzle over truffles if desired. Yield: about 5-1/2 dozen.
Editor's Note: Dark, white or milk chocolate confectionery coating is found in the baking section of most grocery stores. It is sometime labeled "almond bark" or "candy coating" and is often sold in bulk packages (1 to 1-1/2 pounds). It is the product used for dipping chocolate. A substitute for 6 ounces chocolate coating would be 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet, dark or white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening melted together. Truffles can be frozen for several months before dipping in chocolate. Thaw in the refrigerator before dipping.

The Peer-to-Peer vision
Many people come to NAMI's Peer-to-Peer Recovery Education Program with feelings of guilt and self-blame—they feel they've brought mental illness upon themselves. When we teach them about other dimensions of mental illness—genetic causes, environmental factors—they begin to deconstruct those beliefs. It can come as a revelation when people realize that it's not them, but a mental illness, a serious condition that can be treated.
Sarah O'Brien, Director
NAMI Peer-to-Peer
It is a body of knowledge and a place to be with people who understand where they're coming from, a meeting place between the materials and the students—the potential that they've always had and a new understanding of their experiences.
A personalized approach
Recovery is such an individual process because mental illness affects people in similar ways and also in areas that are extremely personal. The Peer-to-Peer program offers a selection of tools and techniques from which people can choose what works best for them and tap into their own resiliency.
Some of our recent students said in their evaluations, "I plan to go back to school"; "I'm going to re-enter the job market" or "I can communicate better with my family". The diversity within our testimonials illustrates the course's usefulness for to people with different needs.
Peer-to-Peer works on several levels simultaneously. First and foremost, we want to communicate that recovery is possible. Once people have that sense of hope they can work on improving their lives in any number of ways. One of our goals is to empower people to make better choices. When individuals are educated about different aspects about mental illness, when they learn how to work better with a provider or what to expect from a hospital environment, they can choose to make the most of their options.
We also help participants develop effective coping mechanisms. This can range from strategizing how to meet basic needs during an episode of severe depression to creating an advanced directive for mental health care, which will ensure that someone's treatment preferences are honored when they are in crisis.
One of the most important things Peer-to-Peer offers is a safe place to bond with peers. So many people come to us feeling isolated and find that they are not alone.
Finally, we want to nurture an individual acceptance of wherever someone is in their recovery process. Recovery is not linear and it doesn't require perfection every day.
Areas of growth
The third edition of the Peer-to-Peer curriculum, released in winter 2010, places a greater emphasis on interactive activities than previous editions. This new edition will be available in Spanish at the end of October. Our upcoming Train the Trainers meeting with new instructors from around the country will involve some bilingual teachers as well. Peer-to-Peer will also be expanding its online presence with a Facebook page and materials available on the web to reach people who don't have a class in their community.
One of Peer-to-Peer's major goals is within the area of research. Currently, we're partnering with a researcher from the University of Maryland to submit a proposal for a study with the National Institute of Mental Health. Our aim is to follow a similar path as that of NAMI Family-to-Family groups, which now have peer-reviewed research supporting their effectiveness.
Learning from participants
Like any good grassroots program, Peer-to-Peer doesn't just teach students—it learns from them. My experience has taught me that people are extremely resilient. Recently I met a teacher-in-training at a meeting in Washington state. After being homeless for many years and also incarcerated on drug-related charges, he had finally overcome many obstacles in his recovery process. He was at the training because he wanted to become a Peer-to-Peer instructor and help others who were confronting challenges similar to his own.
Watching people overcome so much hardship so they can reach out to others is one of the most incredible parts of my job. I am privileged to watch people with many challenges turn their lives around because suddenly they have tools and knowledge that they didn't have access to before.

No meal, no school for Bodo children
There are 793 primary schools in Bodoland which, in the absence of government recognition, have no concrete buildings, free textbooks, water, sanitation and, most of all, midday meals.

Oh finally NBA.TV rocks the MSG feed.
Hell yeah, I've heard "dishing and swishing" for the first time since our second preseason game, love Clyde & Breen, BANG, they knock it down!
Excellent game thread
I predict Amare will grab 6 rebounds
This right here is one of my least favorite teams because of Mgay so lets win!!!
Love Mike's offensive pep talk - "just shoot"
Great alley from Melo to Chandler to start
Looking alright so far. I think the Cats are going to look to play right into D'Antoni's hand here, trying to run the floor.
Chandler looking good, I forgot what scoring in the low post looked like...
I wish every team had Boris Diaw as their center
ok...... still no off the ball movement, and their team seems to be adapting to that alleyoop trick..... lets see if D'antoni adjusts
I am prepared to be bummed by Shumpert
Cats can not miss!

How can you tell I'm still going crazy with the Vosges bars? It's amazing how many new things a chocolatier can make when you ignore them for a few months. So many chocolate bars to catch up on! This Habana bar is made up of Ecuadorian Plantain Chips, enveloped in 45% deep milk chocolate. The packaging of this bar is much plainer than the other bars I've had recently. It opted for a deep purple color and yellow accents over the clinical macro photography of ingredients that the other bars had.
Upon opening this chocolate, this bar is thicker than other Vosges bars I've had before, as it looks like double the thickness to me. It's a nice middle brown color, and it's very creamy looking. The chocolate smells sweet and starchy. No hints of cocoa at all.
Taking the first bite, immediately the texture is very strange. The plantain chips have been crushed up and mixed into the chocolate so the texture is extremely gritty. The chocolate is very smooth so it's kinda a shame that the chips were incorporated that way. The chocolate comes across as very sandy because of it.
The flavor? Well, it's strange. It starts off sweet, then you get this sweet, perfumey flavor from the plantain chips. Then you taste the salt from the dried chips, and it just overwhelms the rest of the flavors until the finish. It's very strange and unexpected.
Really not a fan of this one. The texture kills it for me.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (
Of the four Southern Conference schools that were included in the 2005 ESPN Bracket Busters pool, none were selected to participate in the 11 televised games scheduled to air on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPN Fullcourt.
All four schools will still play non-conference opponents on Feb. 19, with the Buccaneers scheduled to host Austin Peay at
As part of the game contract, the Bucs will play a return game against the Governors in
"We like this pairing because it gives us a good game with an in-state program," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "Especially next year with the added travel of our conference games in the Atlantic Sun, this will be a non-conference game our fans can enjoy because it will be close and drivable."
