Reviews for Vegetarian Cabbage Rolls
"At first, I too was a bit skeptical of the amount of liquid, but the mushrooms and other veg were enough to cook down. I thought it was quite yummy, and could have just put sauce on it and eaten it with out rolling it in the cabbage!"
"I?m not sure what was going on with the previous cook based on her comments. Bulgur is a grain with a 2:1 liquid to grain ratio. For the ½ c of bulgur in this recipe there is ¾ c veg stock and the other liquid comes out of the vegetables. It turns out to be the perfect amount of liquid. Perhaps she/he cooked the bulgur and veggies with the lid off or did not add enough stock? Either way, I might question my cooking methods before I call everyone a liar and trashed the recipe. I found there to be plenty of liquid. Just make sure to keep the lid closed and then let it sit to absorb the remainder of the liquid.Overall I thought this recipe was just ok. The tomato sauce and dish overall was bland, and next time I think I will skip the peppers. This was definitely missing some oomph, but I will keep experimenting until I get it right. I?m thinking more mushrooms (criminis for ?meatiness?), chopped onions and maybe even some grated carrot. I would also add about 1 tbs of brown sugar, 1 tsp of Worcestershire and a squeeze of lemon to give the tomato sauce some zing."
"What a ridiculous recipe. First off, there is no way you can prep that many vegetables in 30 minutes. Second, dried herbs?? Thirdly there is nowhere near enough liquid in 3/4 a cup of broth to match all the vegetables and bulgur. And then lastly they dont even cook properly in 15 minutes.I don't believe these other ratings. I threw the entire dish of rolls in the bin after cooking it was so unpleasant."
"I loved this! I am not a vegetarian but this was wonderful. I had never cooked with bulgar before. I plan to look for more recipies using bulgar and other grains."
"I made this recipe with two bulgar wheat rolls and basmati rice rolls; the bulgar wheat cabbage rolls tasted the best! I can't wait to make this again."

Museum's approach to teaching Pre-Kindergarten through 12th Grade is obtaining national acclaim
CLEVELAND - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's distance learning program On the Road has received the national Teacher's Choice Award for the Best Content Provider in the Fine Arts Museums and Organizations category. This program is made possible through generous support from the John P. Murphy Foundation and National City Bank.
For the third year in a row, the Rock Hall has received a Teacher's Choice Award for its distance learning program which is quickly becoming the most well-known of its kind in the nation. The award is sponsored by Polycom, an interactive videoconferencing technology company.
This honor comes at a time when the Museum's educational programming is experiencing an unprecedented growth in attendance, awards from respected institutions and increased interest from media outlets across the country and around the world including CBS' The Early Show, NBC's The Today Show, the Associated Press, Boston Globe and the Jakarta Post (Indonesia's largest English language newspaper).
"The Rock Hall is an established music hub, but we have a long-term vision to use technology to provide our unique music based education programs to classrooms around the world," said Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "We are thrilled to receive this exceptional acknowledgement of our work from teachers across the country. Music is an art form that merits serious study and speaks to students in a powerful way. It has the ability to deepen engagement with core subjects including language arts, history, social studies and technology."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is at the forefront of bringing popular culture into the classroom and utilizing it to shed light on the music that changed the world. The Museum's state-of-the-art interactive videoconferencing technology allows it to offer incredible educational experiences, teaching children and young adults the ways in which music has played a part in some of the most important social, cultural and political issues in modern history.
Using a high-tech, fully interactive videoconferencing system, the Museum's On the Road distance learning program has reached more than 10,000 students and teachers in more than 28 states, Mexico, Canada, England and Australia. Last year, the Museum won an Honorable Mention in the Best Content Provider category and in 2005, it won an award for Best New Content Provider.
"The Rock Hall's distance learning program touches upon key areas of interest to our foundation," said Nancy McCann, president of the John P. Murphy Foundation. "It's a groundbreaking program that has respected educators around the country buzzing. Music and technology are integral parts of the current generation's daily life and using them to encourage renewed interest in core subjects is remarkable."
On the Road makes use of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's extensive educational resources in order to increase students' knowledge of the history, the people, and the sounds of popular music.

Chinese Civil Society Organizations
- Date submitted: 31 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Chinese Civil Society Organizations
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionCollective Submission of Chinese CSOs on the Rio+20 Zero Draft Part 1 Introduction: Context, Objective and Principles We are a group of Chinese Civil Society Organizations and individuals working day to day on the ground in supporting and implementing sustainable development goals and measures in China, including in the areas of water, forestry, climate change mitigation and adaptation, agriculture, bio-diversity, pollution control, energy, public access and participation, consumption and life style, education, etc. As the fast-growing civil society from a developing country who benefits from the fast growing economy while facing numerous challenges across the three pillars of sustainable development at home and internationally and as part of global citizenry, we have gathered together to join national, regional and global communities on active, meaningful and effective engagement with the Rio+20, contributing to its success and the delivery processes of its promises from and beyond 2012. This document is the result of an intensive and collective thinking and writing process, based on learning, discussion and research activities among the Chinese CSOs, with exchange with other CSOs as well as key stakeholders among our society and international community, including CSOs? Bangkok Statement, the 64th UN DPI/NGO Conference (Bonn) Asia Pacific Regional Group Position, Joint Statement of Major Group and Stakeholders Asia Pacific Meeting in Seoul. Rio+20 provides a critical and timely platform for governments at the highest level, in the eyes of all stakeholders, especially youth whose future is in our hand, to review the past 20 years and pave the way for the coming 20 years and beyond regarding the crucial sustainable development for all countries and peoples. Since 1992, when the recognition of sustainable development was historically adopted by the world?s leaders, and policy and action plans as well as international partnership were bought into national and international agenda, some sustainable development strategies, institutions, measures and programs have taken place in countries (including China), and the world. However, the commitment to a paradigm shift towards sustainable development remains elusive and unsatisfying to a large extent, with the ecological crisis worsened, income and social inequalities escalated and multiple crises hitting us more often and severely including food, finance, energy and climate crises among others. Thus, we strongly recall the three fold objectives of the Conference: to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assess the progress to date and the remaining gaps, and address new and emerging challenges. The conference should fully honour such objectives by focused discussion and politically binding outcome document that recommits governments to achieve sustainable development supported by strong political will in a fully inclusive manner, to ensure the transformation of the economic, social and ecological/environmental dimensions and their effective integration at local, national, regional and international levels. The agreed principles of Rio 1992 should accordingly be strongly reaffirmed and implemented at all levels, in particular common but differentiated responsibilities among countries and within national jurisdiction, the precautionary principle, the polluter pays principle and Principle 10 on Access to Information, Public Participation and Environmental Justice. Global goals including alleviating and eventually eradicating poverty, reorienting the world? economic system towards a low-carbon, sustainable, and just approach, and securing environmental integrity shall be emphasized. Part2. Issues, Challenges and Ways Forward On Green Economies in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication We use the term ?economies? because there is no one model that fits all countries and all societies. Green economies, the definition and implications of which are still under exploration, shall be understood through the overarching paradigm of sustainable development. Green economies should: - Serve as one of the tools to implement sustainable development with emphasis on integration of three pillars and coherence among economic, social and environmental policies
- Ensure all people?s wellbeing and enhance sustainable development and prosperity of all nations
- Build on sustainable production and consumption patterns as well as resilient social 3 and economic systems that has the adaptive capacity and robustness to handle shocks while maintaining functionality
- Require social justice and equity between and within countries, intergenerational and gender equality
- Foster citizen and civil society participation and empowerment
- Protects the ecological balance and creates economic sufficiency
- Provides decent work and right livelihoods, and ensure that jobs and social benefits are distributed equitably among all peoples
- Conserve biodiversity and ecosystem for current and future generations
- Recognize the economic and social value of environmental resources while avoid leading to purely look at them from market perspective
Green Economies should not: - Replace sustainable development, shifting attention of states from fully honoring their commitments made
- Impose top down one size fits all approach
- Be transformed into extra conditionality and green protectionism towards developing countries and the poor especially
- A way to put nature in corporate hands, with blind commercialization We call for replacement of the current inefficient, unsustainable and inequitable economic model, which facilitates a grossly inequitable trading system, fails to eradicate poverty and preserve natural resources. We propose that where the current economy aids inequity, destruction and greed, it should be replaced by an economy that cares for the people, and the planet. We call for governments to develop (further) national sustainable development plans that provide enabling policies and policy tools, based on the above-mentioned principles in part 1, and taking consideration of sufficient policy space especially for developing countries. We believe that it is possible to implement a just transition to sustainable economies as fast as possible through an unprecedented level of cooperation and policy coherence at the local, state, national and international levels, by the sharing of real green technologies and know-how, by appropriate restructuring of regulatory, subsidy, taxation and expenditure policies and by addressing fundamental issues like access and technology assessment. We emphasize financing sustainable development requires significant public financing, financial and technology transfer, private sector investment that are productive and non-speculative in nature and fair and innovative modes of taxation, including a financial transaction tax that is dedicated to support sustainable development activities especially for developing countries. We believe the need to establish a new way to measure the progress towards a sustainable development with gender-specific and other indicators, integrating them with those of sustainable development rather than only relying on a country?s GDP. We call for establishing stronger partnerships among governments, civil society organisations, private businesses and stakeholder groups for promoting green economies in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. Such partnerships need to be within frameworks of accountability and transparency including regulation. On Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development We urge the governments to take more ambitious commitments based on through review and assessment of our progress, to implement Agenda 21 by strengthening or reviving mechanisms from global to local level and ensuring synergy and coherence among various agencies involved in sustainable development. We call for the global institutional framework for sustainable development that ensure equitable rights and opportunities for all human beings. And countries must recognize the difficulty for developing countries to shift their development trajectory in order to balance the three pillars without a solid economic ground and sufficient support from international community. We also call upon the Rio+20 process to address sustainable development governance, and involve all the institutions dealing with the 3 pillars of sustainable development in the architecture with support from the entire UN system and relevant mechanisms at each country. We strongly call for the building of a strong apex body on sustainable development with clear mandate to work at the global level and integrate the work of disparate multilateral bodies working on each of the three pillars of sustainable development. Options that should be explored include transforming the Commission on Sustainable Development into a Council on Sustainable Development under the General Assembly, or establishing a UN Organization on Sustainable Development. The unifying mandate of this body should be the promotion of sustainable development as a fundamental right of all. We also call upon developed countries to further their leadership to ensure the financial sufficiency for the reform and implementation of international governance. Meanwhile, all countries should take more accountability and moves toward to shared vision of sustainable development. We call for a strong and systematic monitoring mechanism with technical expertise to ensure the strict enforcement of existing agreements on sustainable development at the global and their enabling laws level. This body should conduct regular assessment at each level and provide specific guidance for countries. We further stress the significance of civil society organization as a role to bridge governmental institutions and the general public, and ask for more channels to sustainable development governance from decision-making to the monitoring of implementation with sufficient and comprehensive support. On Other Challenges and Emerging issues: We are concerned about the challenges and emerging issues across three dimensions and their inter-linkage and mutual reinforcement affect, especially between and among food, water, health, energy, climate change, rural and urban development, financial markets. Climate Change We call for international collective actions to achieve the global climate protection goal recommended by the science. Based on the CBDR principle, developed countries have to take the lead in deep domestic cuts of GHGs emissions, and provide long term financial support to developing countries; developing countries should alter their development path based on their national context by international cooperation and creating enabling policies and adequate policy and market incentives for low carbon development. Adaptation and capacity building shall be equally emphasized. We call for institutions to safeguard biodiversity, human rights, local environment, food security and the development rights that shall not be compromised for the sake of climate protection. Population We affirm that the trend of increasing of global population has to be managed. We call on governments to start a debate that recognizes the choices we have to make about human population as we consider the limits of the Carrying capacity of the planet and the need to enable fair and equitable use of available resources and leave space for wildlife and wilderness. We also call for strong actions on consumption patterns and lifestyles because unsustainable consumption by the wealthy of the world?s population deprives the poor of their developmental rights. Education and learning for SD We are convinced that education is essential to the global transition to a more sustainable world; it should be a centerpiece of international cooperation for Sustainable Development. We acknowledge the necessity to reaffirm the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). We affirm that education should address the material, social and development of the spiritual dimensions of human and in its fullest sense must provide the space for value-based sustainable learning. We are aware that successful education and learning in all its forms are dependent on the full support of governments at all levels, the private sector, policy makers and the civil society. Technology development and diffusion We call for global and regional mechanisms, such Regional Technology Observation Platforms, in evaluating the impacts of new and untested technologies must be adopted. Such mechanisms must involve communities, civil society and other actors, and provide resources towards providing adequate information and building capacity of countries and communities to assess and monitor the health, biodiversity and environmental impacts of new technologies. On Principle 10 Access to Information, Public Participation and Environmental Justice We note that streamlining sustainable development (including green economies) governance, draws on the foundations of community participation and we further reaffirm that civic participation have been valuable partners in a broad spectrum of peace and sustainable development activities, with the overriding goal of poverty eradication and the betterment of the human condition, among a number of other causes. We call for establishing environment management system and citizen participating mechanism at community level, to facilitate community monitoring environment quality and execution of environment laws, participating in policy making process. We encourage promotion of green choice, sustainable consumption at community level and development of urban-rural integrated sustainable development model. We recognize and reaffirm that the various civil society organizations and members are ready to share responsibility with local and national governments in their communities. We strongly affirm that meaningful involvement of youth, women and wider civil society in decision-making processes and partnerships, as stressed in Agenda 21, Section 3, are critical to the success of Rio+20 conference and delivery of sustainable development at all levels. We further call on the Rio + 20 conference to encourage the development of a regional convention on Principle 10, to invite interested states to accede to the Aarhus Convention and to mandate UNEP to develop a robust program to implement the 2010 Bali Guidelines on Principle 10.

North Florida Beats Softball in UNF Tournament Final
Princeton led early, but North Florida came back in a big way to defeat the Princeton softball team in Sunday's North Florida Osprey Invitational tournament final, 9-1.
Alyssa Schmidt doubled home a leadoff single by Nikki Chu in the top of the first to put Princeton (3-2) on the board, but North Florida (19-4) scored the last nine runs including four in the sixth to clinch a run-rule victory.
Freshman Kayla Bose led Princeton with a 2-for-3 day as one of five Tigers to get a hit. Alex Peyton and Liza Kuhn split time in the circle for Princeton, but neither could tame the Ospreys. Peyton gave up four runs on three hits and five walks in three innings, striking out five, while Kuhn threw 2 1/3 innings, giving up six hits and three walks, striking out three.
Princeton will head to a UMBC and Coppin State co-hosted tournament in Baltimore next weekend, facing Howard, UMBC, George Washington and Coppin State over five games.

Real Lives. Real Change.
People just like you have found real weight loss success on Jenny Craig. If they can do it, you can too! Read their inspiring stories.
After the birth of my third child, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Extreme weight gain, fatigue, depression, and heart palpitations were all side effects of my diagnosis. In just over 4 months, I gained over 100 pounds. To make matters worse, my blood pressure was sky-high and even though I was taking medication, it was still not under control. During one of my check-ups, my doctor informed me that there was no point in trying to lose weight as it is just too difficult for thyroid patients. I had tried my best on my own with little results. Giving up, I felt defeated and helpless as my weight reached an all-time high. We own working cattle farms and my weight affected my ability to work on our farm. I had no energy, so I would end up staying home after lunch because I physically couldn't do anymore. It was impossible for me to carry buckets of grain to feed the cattle because I would get so winded.
I knew that our eating habits as a family needed to change, starting with me. We used to have a huge breakfast and lunch, then work until 10 or 11 pm, and then have a huge supper because we were starving. When I say huge I mean huge. A typical day of meals for me was three pancakes with syrup and butter, 2-3 scrambled eggs, 8-10 sausage links, and hash browns smothered in cheese. Lunch would be 2 hamburgers and a large plate of fries covered in melted cheese, pasta salad, and cookies or cupcakes for dessert. A late night supper would be a whole large pizza and I would eat an entire bag of chips waiting for the pizza to heat up. We always had a large stock of junk food in the house for snacking.
I finally had my "Aha Moment". One morning, I woke with my heart pounding hard and fast, and started to vomit and sweat profusely. I thought I was having a heart attack, but after a trip to the emergency room, it was diagnosed as a type of tachycardia. It made me think about my health and my weight and the unbearable thought of not being there for my husband and children if my life was cut short. I couldn't stand the thought of never seeing my children graduate from high school, get married, or seeing my first grandchild. The very next day, as I was working on some invoicing for our business, an ad for Jenny Craig popped up on my screen. I didn't even hesitate. I called for a same day appointment and a few hours later, I was a new Jenny Craig client with my own personal weight loss consultant.
I knew Jenny Craig was going to work for me because of the ease and convenience of the program. I needed a program that was mapped out for me, as well as the accountability of the weekly weigh-ins and consultations with my consultant. Joining Jenny Craig was a total lifestyle change. I learned about nutrition, exercise, and that in fact, you can lose weight if you have a thyroid condition. My consultant helped me manage my stress eating and taught me about the many myths surrounding diet and exercise. I couldn't believe how much of the right foods I could eat and lose weight at the same time. My consultant also urged me to start moving as I lost weight. I started with walking and worked up to running, which I found that I really loved. Who knew!
I lost 110 lbs.* on Jenny Craig. My family has been so amazing through this whole journey. I wouldn't have been able to do this without them. One thing that melts my heart every time I think about it is that my son, Tyler would hug me every Monday morning (weigh-in day) and measure around me with his arms. Every week his arms got closer and closer together. He was so proud of me!
My life is so awesome now! I no longer have junk food in our home, and the whole family eats healthier and saves money too! I put in a garden for the first time in my life. I make my own salsa, pickles, chili sauce, and unsweetened applesauce which I use in my recipes instead of oil. My family now eats fruits and vegetables instead of chips and candy bars. My new passion is finding healthy recipes or coming up with ones of my own. Another benefit of losing weight was getting off my high blood pressure medicine, and I've have not had any more tachycardia attacks! I have run two half marathons and my husband has a new and improved employee with so much more energy and strength to do all the things I love to do. I refuse to use the 4-wheeler to check our cattle; I walk or run everywhere. I even run to our other farms about five miles away to get my workout in for the day. I also load (by hand) our customer's 50 lb. bags of feed. It's a great workout!
In closing, one of the greatest things to happen during my weight loss journey is my outreach to others. I've helped several friends in our community and my family lose weight. It is the most rewarding feeling in the world! I was also chosen to share my weight loss story in a popular national magazine! To sum this whole experience up in one phrase, it would be that Jenny Craig helped me get my life back. I'm living again, healthier and happier!

What Does the Research Say?
Throughout chiropractic's history, the profession has conducted clinical research despite limited funding. Chiropractic does not use implantable medical devices or pharmaceutical drugs, so it has not received research funding from device or pharmaceutical companies, unlike conventional medicine. Most chiropractic colleges have self-funded their research programs with support from chiropractic foundations.
Federal support for chiropractic research began in 1992 with the establishment of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) of the National Institutes of Health.
The majority of clinical research in chiropractic has focused on its effectiveness in caring for spine-related injuries and complications from spinal stress. These studies have focused on the most common complaints treated in chiropractic offices: low back pain, neck pain and headaches, and peripheral nerve problems. The studies usually compare a typical chiropractic regimen with commonly utilized pharmaceuticals, or combinations of therapies. Any lasting effects of treatment are measured over time.
The major studies have found clinical benefit to the participants from chiropractic treatment, some showing superiority of short and long-term effects.
Here are three examples of analyses of pools of research:
- Bronfort, G., Haas, M., Evans, R., Kawchuk, G., Dagenais, S. (2008). Evidence-informed management of chronic low back pain with spinal manipulation and mobilization. Spine Journal, 8(1), 213-225.
- Bronfort, G., Nilsson, N., Haas, M., Evans, R., Goldsmith, C.H., Assendelft, W.J.J. & Bouter, L.M. (2004). Non-invasive physical treatments for chronic/recurrent headache. The Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews.
- Gross, A.R., Hoving, J.L., Haines, T.A., Goldsmith, C.H., Kay, T., Aker, P., Bronfort, G. (2004). Manipulation and mobilization for mechanical neck disorders. The Cochrane Database of Systemic Review.
What about studies on the preventive effects of chiropractic?
It is far easier to study chiropractic as a treatment than as an approach to wellness. When a patient has a specific complaint that can be measured by level of pain or certain limitations, different interventions can be compared in their ability to affect changes. But how does one measure wellness?
This is one of the elusive issues in research. What should the measures be and how does one control for the confounding effects of daily living? The currently accepted standard of sound clinical research is the randomized controlled trial, but in order to study wellness, other approaches will need to be devised and validated. Because of these issues, there is little research on the preventive effects of chiropractic.
Where can I get more information about research?
To find studies on the use of chiropractic and other alternative approaches, such as acupuncture for specific conditions, go to PubMed and conduct a search, using both the word chiropractic and the name of the condition. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine supports a CAM search engine for PubMed publications.
ClinicalTrials.gov, the National Institutes of Health website devoted to current clinical trials, lists several chiropractic trials that are currently recruiting patients for major studies.
- Where Does Chiropractic Come From?
- What are the Basic Concepts?
- Is Chiropractic Integrative, Alternative, or Mainstream?
- How Can Chiropractic Help Me?
- What Happens at the Chiropractor?
- Are There Any Safety Concerns?
- What Does the Research Say?
- Is Chiropractic Regulated?
- How Can I Find a Qualified Chiropractor?

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Addicted to World Market Great for outdoor storage This storage bench looks great with my new Baja furniture. It was fairly easy to assemble, allthough a few more pre-drilled holes would have helped. I put a bench cushion on the top to match my outdoor furniture and I am so happy I bought it! This could be used indoors and out. I feel that I got what I paid for. June 28, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jodysgold Good sturdy construction and nice look I purchased this storage box for my outdoor patio to store barbecue accessories and charcoal. It arrived well packaged and no damage. The instructions for assembly are pretty clear, but I found it takes more than 1 person to affix the top portion of the box to the foundation, and it requires having some special tools if you want it put together correctly. The hinges are affixed to the top portion of the box, but there are no pre-drilled holes on the bottom portion of the box, and you need to carefully align the hinges and be sure the screws are properly centered so you don't damage the wood by drilling too close to one edge. Again, it's a great storage box, I am happy that I purchased it, but this definitely requires more skill than the average person may possess for assembly. April 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rasstaman I'm using it to store BBQ clutter on a covered deck The directions said you need two people to put it together. So it sat in the box for over a week until I finally tackled it on my own. The directions said the only tool you need to provide is a phillips screw driver. I pre-drilled the screw holes with an electric drill so the screws wouldn't split the hard wood. Then I lubricated the screws by rubbing them in a bar of soap. I completed the assembly in about an hour. Its been doing its job for about a week. December 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Elaine the decorator Great for the price We use this bench outdoors by our pool in Florida to store pool supplies. The top is definitely not waterproof (nor is it sold as such) so we use an outdoor bench cushion, which keeps most of the water out. We keep a half dozen pool towels in a large garbage bag inside the bench so they're always easily accessible. Water does collect inside on the bag, but it's easy to shake off. Pool chemicals are waterproof, so that's not a problem. The finish on the bench looks worn after two summers, but we use our outdoor furniture oil (teak oil) each summer and it looks new again. Other storage benches were $600 on sale, so we think we got our money's worth with this one. June 29, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by AlliCan Looks good! Easy to assemble. Solid but light weight and easy to move around. The inside/bottom of the storage chest is slatted so it is not completely solid all of the way around. The top and the four sides are solid and not slatted. I didn't realize this at the time of purchase but I am still happy with the bench. Looks great and offers good storage space. May 5, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lee121 Good for $45 I bought it on clerance for $35 plus $10 for handling fee and free shipping bc i purchased over $100. So i guess it's good for $45... I've purchased a table from World Market before and had to return because the wood cracked after 3 months in the sun. This storage box will be placed under my patio so I'm hoping it will hold up! March 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Patio Queen Looks nice but not durable This item was iitially purchased to hold patio furniture cushions. After assembly we stored the cushions in the chest and they got wet and the bottom fell out. We had to find another source for storage. After sitting through a winter the sides began to fall apart but since my husband is very handy, he was able to bolt it back together and now we use it for other misc patio items such as citronella candles and holders, coasters etc... June 2, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by J Looks nice but does not keep water out Used this to store outdoor cushions. All cushions inside had mold on them after a week from the rain coming in through slats. After I find a way to water proof the inside, I hope to be able to use it again. Now, it just sits empty on my patio. June 17, 2010

I come from a long line of strong women although they probably wouldn't have thought so. One of the women I still get my own strength from is my mother's mother, Marge. Although she passed away in 1980 at 76, I still think about her as one of the most inspirational women in my life. And I loved her so very much.
Marge spent a lot of her childhood in Hackensack, N.J., before moving back and forth to Brooklyn. She played in the County Court House dome while it was under construction and went sleigh riding down Essex Street when horse-drawn carriages ruled the road. On one treacherous ride as a 6-year-old, she got hit in the head by a horse, was rushed to a row house called Hackensack Hospital, and left with a metal plate in her head.
My grandmother had a hard life in those early years. She grew up without her mom, who died at the hands of a back-room abortionist because her parents could not afford a sixth child. Marge's family split up, and she stayed behind with her father and youngest brother. When her dad remarried, she still didn't get the mom — and the motherly guidance — she yearned for.
Marge had to quit high school at a very young age to go to work. Although she never got her diploma, she was one of the smartest — and strongest — women I have known. She worked hard for everything she got in life.
Marge always treasured her family. She married my grandfather when she was 19. By age 20, she gave birth to a 13-pound baby boy. Three days later, she had to bury him after a painful delivery. My mom, Adrienne, came along a few years later, and then finally her youngest son, John, was born. Years later, she buried my grandfather at 63, then watched her youngest son die a slow death from pancreatic cancer when he was 45 and a father of four.
Marge lived through the Great Depression and World War II rationing and was considered quite thrifty, well O.K., cheap. My cousins, brother and I never could understand why she kept her tea bag on the windowsill to use one more time before throwing it away. She used to say she "squeezed the nickel until the eagle screamed." I guess it was from all those years of doing without. Marge also was a betting gal. She liked to "decorate the mahogany" with a few coins (prounounced kerns if you came from Brooklyn) for a good hand of poker. She also liked to play the horses and taught her grandchildren how to read the racing tip sheets.
When Marge picked me up from grammar school each Monday afternoon, she wore red lipstick, a fancy hair do, and pop-it beads. Channel No 5 was her favorite perfume. She was very glamorous as seen through my young eyes. At 6 years old, I thought she looked like a movie star and felt so proud when she picked me up to spend the rest of the day with her.
As a senior citizen and widow, Marge read the Wall Street Journal and talked stocks with her broker almost every day. She also had a penchant for real estate. I guess that's why years before she talked my grandfather into buying a run-down summer house and 160 acres in the middle of the Adirondack parkland.
Marge became a businesswoman at a time when women didn't think much about careers, yet alone start a business after 40. Although it might be a regular occurrence in this day and age, in the late 1950s, it was unheard of.
After raising her family, Marge decided to fulfill a dream and go to beauty school. I never found out why she had a liking for hair, but maybe she wanted to do something feminine after growing up without a mom.
Whatever the case, Marge was the oldest student in the school. After graduation, she bought her own salon, right on Anderson Street in Hackensack.
Marge ran Helen's Beauty Salon single-handedly for a number of years before selling the shop in the early '60s. The sale of her store front helped my grandparents buy their summer house in Brant Lake, N.Y., which has been enjoyed by all of us for almost three generations.
In her later years, Marge tended a garden and employed a have-a-heart trap to get rid of the woodchuck that was eating her vegetables. She also used a shotgun for that very same purpose. On these days, we'd find her in blue jeans and college sweatshirts she bought from thrift shops. My grandmother never got rich from her business dreams, but she was one of the richest women I've known. So most likely, she'd be the first one to say, "Go for it!" when I decide to fulfill mine.

My Family vs. Money
In my family the men spent and the women saved. While my father pursued his business ambitions attired in Petrocelli suits and drove a garish succession of Cadillacs, my mother and grandmother squirreled away pennies to purchase the United States Savings Bonds that would be my first nest egg. Three decades later they would give me another: their estates.
Growing up in a dreary New Jersey suburb, I had neither my father's fl ash nor my mother's dutiful sense of thrift. To me, money, when I considered it at all, could only mean escape. As a restless adolescent fired up with '60s ideals, I used the bond stash to finance my early sojourns abroad. By age 20 I had studied and traveled in two dozen countries, yet I owned nothing but a few scraps of junk-store clothing and a Mamiya Sekor camera.
Then my father's business failed. Overnight the tail fins and pricey threads dematerialized, and with them went the peacock-ish self-confidence that had enabled my father to build his wealth.
Myself vs. Money
Sobered, I thought long and hard about how I would earn a living. My mother and grandmother's advice at the time seemed like a bad joke: "Marry a rich guy" was their mantra. But I snubbed their fairy-tale prince. I embarked on a course of study that would culminate in a master's degree in international management and a frenetic career as a corporate-level executive for Hilton International Hotels. Before long I was earning more money than I had time to spend. By default, I began to save.
Not that I did so consciously or well. The money simply piled up in savings accounts until an uncle who was an accountant suggested a mutual fund. Over time my nest egg grew, not as much as it could have, but enough to reinforce my indifference toward personal finance. Although I monitored million-dollar budgets in my work and scrupulously minded my employers' assets, my own lay neglected. Financial statements would arrive in the mail, but I was too busy to even open the envelopes.
During the '90s, my parents' health began to deteriorate. Watching my loved ones fight for their lives redoubled my resolve to live my own fully, authentically. I had always wanted to write, and now was the time. I left my job, dipped into my savings, pared down my possessions, and secluded myself in a rural hideaway with a high-speed computer and the complete works of Henry David Thoreau.
A Generous Gift
My parents and grandmother held on long enough to see me establish myself as a journalist and publish my first two nonfiction books. Then all three passed away in the space of one year. My father died as he had lived: in debt. My mother and grandmother left behind two inheritances, spread among a wide assortment of CDs, stocks and mutual funds. The pennies had multiplied thousands of times over, and I found myself with more money than I had accumulated through my dozen plus years of corporate toil.
But puzzling out their portfolios, especially in the face of all that grief, was more than I could bear. A personal banker I vaguely knew took me by the hand to meet the branch's investment representative. An older woman with a maternal affect, she began poring over my financial statements, urging me to sell off my more conservative holdings in favor of growth funds invested heavily in-you guessed it-technology stocks. The funds she favored were expensive, carrying inflated share prices, high fees and renegade expense ratios. At first, I resisted. Not because of hard data (she provided none) but a gut feeling. Then she started calling me at home. Several months on, worn down by her badgering, doubting my own judgment and still mourning, I made the trip to her lair and signed the papers.
Back to Square One
What happened next is history: the worst bear market since the '70s, with tech stocks leading the crash. Having made a cult of fiscal disregard, I was slow to grasp the magnitude of my losses, and then I was stung senseless. Queasy, I pored over my back statements myself and was stupefied by what I saw: unauthorized trades, churned commissions and dwindling assets. As the shock faded, I asked myself, "How could I have let this happen?"

L'Alpe d'Flag is Gone!
Submitted by 303admin on
Unbelievable! Someone, I strongly assume it was the city department, has removed the 21 numbers up Flagstaff! I brought my camera with me this morning to take some photos of Flag but found they had been removed...ground off the pavement! Were these numbers offensive? Were they a safety hazard? Aren't we in a recession? If the city has time to spend money on the costly removal of these numbers than why didn't they ever find the money to sweep the shoulder up Flagstaff... that is a safety issue and has been one that has caused discussion on the Daily Camera's opinion section. I know what was done was illegal and I knew someday they would be removed, especially the writing on the road at the very top but so soon? Wasteful!
What's your opinion?

In 2003, when Kari Worth was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, treatments were limited, so she underwent what's called biochemotherapy, a taxing regimen that repeatedly delivers an infusion of three chemo drugs and two immunotherapy drugs, producing devastating side effects such as extreme nausea and systemic inflammation. "It was horrendous," she recalls. "I was hospitalized 25 times in two and a half years." But the treatment worked. Once Worth had surgery to remove a tumor from her lung, where the cancer had spread, she was pronounced NED, "no evidence of disease."
By the time Worth was back fighting cancer in 2009, her treatment was nothing like what she had previously endured. At UCLA she was given the targeted drug vemurafenib, which she took twice a day at home. "Initially my tumor went away and everything was good, but 10 months later the cancer came back," she says. After surgery that removed a pectoral muscle, Worth was briefly stable and then began the immunity drug ipilimumab, which bought her three months until the melanoma reached her brain and was treated with Gamma Knife radio-surgery, a precisely targeted, noninvasive radiation procedure. This was followed by more ipilimumab, which appeared to halt the cancer. As of fall 2012, Worth had been through 12 infusions of ipilimumab and more radiation and was in a two-year trial of a promising new immunotherapy drug called Merck MK 3475, which involves 30-minute infusions every three weeks and produces minimal side effects.
At the same time Worth's life has been saved, it has also been changed. "I used to have a career, but being treated for cancer is pretty much a full-time job," she says. "I have an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old. My kids don't treat me any differently. I'm just their mom, and I do the laundry and everything else. I'm busy, and life is full."
Even with the new drugs, a true cure—defined as permanent remission—may not always be possible. "I tell people that dealing with cancer is a marathon, not a sprint," says Lecia Sequist, MD, an oncologist specializing in lung cancer at Mass General. "What we're trying to do is get six months out of this treatment and three months out of the next treatment, then four months out of the next. We're trying to piece together a series of treatments, and every year theories advance. If we can just get you to next year, then our goal will be to get you to the year after."
An explosion of information
Achieving that goal has become more and more likely: The pace of finding new genetic targets is really speeding up, in part because of the work of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), funded by the National Institutes of Health. For instance, last September a team of TCGA researchers led by the pathologist and cancer researcher Matthew Meyerson, MD, PhD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston published the first comprehensive genome analysis of squamous cell lung cancer, a major and hard-to-treat type that causes 40,000 deaths a year and for which no targeted therapies exist. Analyzing 178 tumors, the researchers discovered multiple genes with significant mutations that might be targeted by drugs currently in clinical trials (some for other diseases) and that could be tried on patients with this particular form of lung cancer.
The study is just one of 20 genetic analyses of different types of cancer that TCGA is scheduled to complete by 2014. Focusing on cancers with a poor prognosis and a large public health impact, TCGA gathers and evaluates cancerous tissue samples from research institutions across the country and releases the results in a public database. Meyerson credits the fast discovery of additional molecular targets to a spectacular fivefold-to-tenfold improvement in genome-sequencing technology over the past few years, to which TCGA is contributing. "It's amazing to think what we're doing today compared to five years ago. The quantity is better, the quality is better," he says.


text: I find it disheartening that the only way to get better skin (according to the EXPERTS) is to inject your face with fillers, botox, etc. Have you really looked at people who do this? (Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue, Melanie Griffith, Priscilla Presley) They don't look younger; they look like they injected something into their faces. What I've learned from this is that there's definitely something to be said for aging gracefully. By the way, I'm 52 and look younger than my 45-year-old friend who uses botox and now has permanently uneven arched eyebrows and crepey skin around her eyes. I've never been a sun-worshiper and have always taken care of my skin. I'll continue on my path without injecting my face and permanently ruining it. Aging is a natural process people!

Wild Game Goes in Loyola's Favor 2-1 in Men's Soccer
Box Score
BALTIMORE (9/18/13) – The Loyola men's soccer team rallied from a one-goal deficit, with the help of a penalty kick, to a 2-1 win over Princeton at Ridley Athletic Complex on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The win helped the Greyhounds stay undefeated at 5-0-1, while Tigers fall to 1-3 on the season.
Princeton took a 1-0 lead in the first half, in what was arguably the team's best first half in its first four games this season. The Tigers doubled their season total of shots in the first, with six, two of which were on frame.
Sophomore Nico Hurtado scored his first career goal in the 38th minute with sophomore Brendan McSherry assisting on the goal to earn his first career point. A goal kick by Seth MacMillan led to the goal as McSherry gained possession of it on the "L" at centerfield. As he approached the attacking third he dished the ball off to Hurtado inside the 18-yard box and Hurtado fired between two defenders and past Thurman Van Riper in goal.
Van Riper left the game in the 65th minute after a collision with Patrick O'Neil. Zach Kane replaced him for the final 25 minutes. Both goalies finished with four saves each.
Loyola's leading scorer Larry Ndjock netted the equalizer in the 67th minute on a penalty kick after a foul was called on Princeton after a shot rang off the cross bar and bounced back onto the field.
Ndjock would get a red card in the 83rd minute just one minute before the Greyhounds got the go-ahead goal. It would be the first of two red cards, as Loyola's head coach was asked to leave the field in the 85th minute.
The game-winning goal came in the 84th minute when a boot was put into the center the field and Connor Thompson came up with possession. He pushed the ball up the middle to Stephen Dooley who fired into the left side netting.
The Tigers had a number of quality chances in the final 20 minutes. Jack Hilger had blast that splayed out Kane in the 75th minute. A header by Josh Miller nearly made it across the goal line as the ball flew in the air on the save and nearly dropped behind Kane as Miller ran on for the rebound. In the final 15 seconds of the game it was Princeton's own keeper MacMillan that had a header that had to be stopped by Kane as all bodies got involved in the final minute when the Tigers were awarded a corner kick. On the other end MacMillan finished the game with three saves.
Shots fell in Princeton's favor 15-13, while Loyola took two more corner kicks, 8-6.
The Tigers make a return trip to Maryland on Sunday, Sept. 22 when it takes on national runner-up Georgetown at 1 p.m.

It's fall, but color me underwhelmed.
This week, I've received three different emails trumpeting that Wendy's has spent TWO YEARS reinventing their hamburger. Now, it's fresh and juicy, pretty much the basic criteria for any hamburger since the first ground beef was patted out. I'm not sure why "hand leafed" lettuce and "hand-cut" tomatoes would be an improvement and I'm totally dubious about a "pickle chemist" being called in.
Meanwhile, Wall Street Journal tells me that Heinz has spent THREE YEARS developing a better ketchup packet for people who eat their fries in the car and don't want to make a mess.
I can't help but wonder how much these "innovations" cost to develop. Here's a hint:
"To develop the new packet, Heinz staffers sat behind one-way, mirrored glass, watching consumers in 20 fake minivan interiors putting ketchup on fries, burgers, and chicken nuggets.
And, "To try new prototypes himself, Mike Okoroafor, Heinz vice president of global packaging innovation and execution, bought a used minivan, taking it to local McDonald's and Wendy's drive-throughs to order fries and apply ketchup in the confined space.
I wasn't going to use my car—too messy," he says."
This starts to sound like news from The Onion, doesn't it??
Anyway, here's some news you can use from local and authentic food producers:
Tomorrow night at 7 p.m., Silver Fork Lodge joins forces with Epic Brewing and High West Distillery to present a five course pairing dinner. It will be held on the rustic terrace, overlooking some of Utah's finest mountain forests. $50 per person and I guarantee it will beat Wendy's new Hot n Juicy burger—even if topped with ketchup from Heinz' new Squeeze n Dip package.

no Al-Naimi addresses Doha Energy Forum Al-Naimi: Demand for oil will remain strong
Al-Naimi addresses Doha Energy Forum
April 2, 2013
Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali bin Ibrahim Al-Naimi said in an address yesterday that future demand for oil will remain strong, despite the difficult global economic situation. Speaking at the opening session of the Doha Energy Forum, which was organized by the Brookings Doha Center and inaugurated by Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al-Thani, Al-Naimi said, "The expectations of energy demand and growth are still positive."
The Oil Minister noted that energy markets have become more complex, as new resources and technologies have come into play. "There are continuous investments in the field of renewable energy sources," he said. "If we want to meet the growing demand in the twenty-first century, we need all energy sources. The GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] commitment to the stability of energy markets has been one of the constants during the past thirty years. The GCC member states are continuously able to meet global demand resulting from global economic growth or temporary supply interruptions. I am confident that this approach will continue."
Al-Naimi added, "We welcome the access of all sources of new energy to the market. I do not see that we should be worried of new supplies of energy sources in light of growing global demand. It is true that there are more companies and countries that compete to win a bigger share of the market, but it is also true that the market is large."
Al-Naimi pointed out that the use of natural gas helps activate the petrochemical sector, creates new jobs for citizens, and assists GCC countries in meeting required environmental standards. "Regarding the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the usage of gas locally helps to relieve the demand for fluids, which grants us more energy for exporting," he said. "But it is clear that the GCC states will remain a reliable partner in the world energy supply."

Sanitary sewer construction with polypropylene pipe
Five months from start to finish: The interceptor project replaced 24- and 30-inch vitrified clay pipelines with 5,600 feet of 60-inch polypropylene pipe. Buried 8 to 22 feet down, the pipe — Advanced Drainage Systems' SaniTite HP — has maintained shape regardless of depth. Photos: Advanced Drainage Systems
Instead of precast concrete, ADS used the 60-inch pipe to fabricate manholes with H-20 load rating and fill heights. Once in place, each was encapsulated in concrete with a field-placed steel reinforcing cage.
About 200 feet of pipe in diameters ranging from 24 to 48 inches was used for laterals that were connected to the main trunk using Inserta Tee and fabricated fittings.

PROJECT:8 Combined sewer separationOWNER:8City of Portland, MaineENGINEERING AND DESIGN:8Woodard & Curran, PortlandLOGISTICS AND SYSTEM DESIGN SUPPORT:8E.J. Prescott Inc.; Gardiner, MaineCONSTRUCTION MONITORING:8Gorrill-Palmer Consulting Engineers Inc.; Gray, MaineCONTRACTOR:8R.J. Grondin & Sons Inc.; Gorham, MaineINSTALLATION: June through October 2010COST: $4 million
In June, sewer managers for Maine's largest city received a regional American Public Works Association award for a project that involved one of the nation's first and largest installations of polypropylene pipe for combined sewer overflow remediation.
In 2007, when Portland began exploring how to eliminate overflows and keep untreated wastewater from flowing into an estuary, such a product wasn't commercially available. But the next year, a pipe that provided a watertight joint and met the city's required stiffness standard of 46 pii was introduced, and added to the list of options — which included epoxy-coated, reinforced concrete and centrifugally-cast glass fiber reinforced polymer — contractors could choose from to meet an extremely tight installation deadline.
Developed specifically for the gravity-flow sanitary sewer market, SaniTite HP (for "high-performance") pipe is made from an enhanced grade of polypropylene resin: an engineered, impact-modified, co-polymer compound that's chemically resistant to the hydrogen sulfide gas and sulfuric acid concentrations typical of sanitary sewers. Developer and manufacturer Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. is the world's largest producer of corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.
SaniTite HP 30- to 60-inch-diameters meet ASTM F2764.
The 60-inch pipe has a triple-wall construction that provides a smooth interior and exterior wall design, supported by a corrugated structural core for improved stiffness and greater beam strength to minimize deflection and enhance long-term performance. It's available in 16.3- and 20-foot lengths.
The 30-inch pipe is available with either dual- or triple-wall construction and, like the 48-inch pipe, comes in 13- and 20-foot lengths to accommodate various trench box dimensions.
Pipe 12 to 30 inches in diameter meets ASTM F2736 and is made with dual-wall construction to provide performance ratings that exceed many industry standards for gravity-flow sanitary sewers.
With dual gaskets and banded reinforced bell and spigots, all are watertight, exceeding the requirements of ASTM D3212.
Consulting firm Woodard & Curran and city engineers had spent several years exploring design alternatives for replacing hundred-year-old 24- and 30-inch vitrified clay pipelines with a single, larger-diameter pipe and separating a parallel, 10-foot-diameter pipe to convey only stormwater.
They wanted a system designed around data from actual storms, not a predicted 25- or 100-year-event model. Monitoring equipment installed in the existing line collected flow data from September 2007 to September 2008, supplementing data the city had collected from monitoring sites within the project area in 2004 and 2005. The largest storm occurred Sept. 6-7, 2008, when 5.46 inches of rain fell with a maximum intensity of 0.94 inches in one hour.
"Our analysis determined the main line would require a 60-inch pipe to handle the peak flow rate anticipated for the system of 70 million gallons a day along its 1-mile length," says Woodard & Curran Project Manager Dave Senus, PE. "The ADS pipe with its Manning's 'n' value of 0.012 met this requirement."
So it was added to the city's request for proposals.

Firm claims HTS assay has already identified modulators of three orphan receptors. [smcn/Fotolia.com]
Omeros received a $20 million investment from Vulcan Capital and a $5 million grant from Washington State's Life Sciences Discovery Fund to support further development of its GPCR drug discovery program. The Vulcan deal means Omeros can exercise its existing option to purchase Patobios' high-throughput screening (HTS) platform for orphan GPCRs for C$7.8 million in cash and $3 million in Omeros stock.
Both Vulcan and Washington's Life Sciences Discovery Fund will, in return for their funding, have rights to a percentage of the net proceeds generated by Omeros' program. The level of tiered payments will decrease as cumulative net proceeds reach specific thresholds. Vulcan has in addition been issued with three five-year warrants to purchase Omeros common stock. Each warrant is for 133,333 shares, with exercise prices of $20, $30, and $40 per share, respectively.
For the last two years, Omeros has held an exclusive option to purchase a cellular redistribution assay from Canadian firm Patobios. Omeros believes is the only technology capable of identifying agonists and antagonists of orphan GPCRs in a high-throughput manner. During the option period, Omeros has been able to use the technology to screen up to three sets of five orphan GPCRs. On completion of the C$10.8 million technology purchase agreement the firm will no longer have any milestone, royalty, or other payment obligations to Patobios.
Omeros reached a milestone in the GPCR program back in June, when it reported identifying compounds that interact with three orphan GPCRs linked to cancer, metabolic disorders, and appetite control.
Omeros says estimates suggest that GPCR-targeting drugs represent about 30–40% of the $700 billion in annual worldwide drug sales. It suggests that of the 363 nonsensory GPCRs, about 240 have known ligands. Marketed drug target 46 of these, and there are drugs currently in development that target another 70. Omeros believes that over 65 of the remaining 120 or so orphan GPCRs could represent druggable targets.
The firm's GPCR research is at a relatively early stage in comparison with its existing clinical pipeline. This is headed by products developed using its PharmacoSurgery™ platform. The PharmacoSurgery approach is based on developing formulations of FDA-approved generic drugs that can be included in standard surgical irrigation solutions to help pre-empt and reduce surgical-related trauma and promote healing in patients undergoing procedures including arthroscopy, ophthalmology, and urology procedures.
Lead product, OMS103HP, is undergoing clinical programs at orthopedic sports medicine centers throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Phase III trial is evaluating the safety and ability of OMS103HP to improve postoperative joint function and reduce pain following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. A second trial is evaluating whether OMS103HP reduces pain and improves postoperative joint function following arthroscopic partial meniscectomy surgery.
Omeros is separately focused on the development of treatments for CNS disorders. Its lead addition treatment/prevention candidate has completed a Phase II clinical trial.

Your Hubbie & You
By Rebecca Teti
Thursday: Marriage
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Struggling in your marriage? Have some relationship advice to share? Have a marriage success story to share? Have a man/woman question? This weekly thread is the place to do it.
Come on in and join the conversation!
Please pray for my husband this morning. He has an interview for a job. He was laid off last week and we're praying that this company will be a good fit for our family. Thanks!!!
Prayers Amy!
Thanks, Claire! It went well. Now we just wait. ;)
I'm so glad to hear that it went well, Amy! I hope they won't leave you hanging too long.
Amy, any news on the job? Hoping there is but sometimes it takes a while for the entire interview/internal process.
Amy, any news on the job? Hoping there is but sometimes it takes a while for the entire interview/internal process.
We're still waiting to hear something. He's had two more interviews with different companies, so God is definitely working. Thanks for all the prayers!
If anyone is out there and able to find this blog archive (although I hope it will be elusive to one certain person), I just wanted to say that I'm praying for all of you and hope that we will still be able to check in with each other despite all the recent turmoil on this blog. I have been up for the past two hours ever since a bat invaded my house, so between that and what's been happening on this blog, I'm feeling like I'm in the Twilight Zone!
ClaireS: I was also wondering what happened to the blog posts & if a certain individual was able to make it crash with incessant rantings. (I am asking the intercession of St. Dymphna for her.) Good luck getting your winged & furry friend to exit your home! What an (mis)adventure that must have been!
Hi Patricia; I'm so glad you found this thread! I suspect that the powers that be took down the other one because it was turning into a three-ring circus. Yes, the bat adventure was interesting, and it's not yet over! We've all been up since 4am est (I think the timestamps on this blog are CST). We got the bat trapped in a room, but then he hid and we couldn't find him. We called a bat expert who also couldn't find him. If we don't find him, we'll all have to get rabies shots (no big deal for my husband and me, but it will be traumatic for my son). So any prayers would be appreciated!
Hi ClaireS! I'm on EST, too. You are probably correct that CD/F&F took the blog down for the time being. Hope they can get things squared away. It was nice to see some regular posting yesterday in response to DonnaL's question about books for her daughter. Are the rabies shots a preventative measure? Hopefully it won't come to that. Where is a modern-day St. Francis of Assisi when you need him to do some "bat whispering"? Praying! Take care!
ClaireS - That's some crazy stuff you've got going on this morning! I'll pray that it gets resolved without needing the shots. Patricia, what a great idea to pray to St. Dymphna. I'll join you on that.
I wonder why they took yesterday's post down. It seems like our friend can do the same thing here today.
I love my mom, don't get me wrong, but sometimes she drives me (us) crazy. One of the things she does is ask "why". Sometimes there just isn't an answer. Recently I've found myself asking why (quietly to myself not outloud). Why "the problem" here, why are people so cruel to each other, reading the news-why so many bombings, and a general "what is wrong with people".
I posted on the Open thread the other day that has disappeared or has been taken down. I guess I've missed all the craziness here lately, which is lucky for me it sounds like. I don't want to add a single ounce of drama to my life at this point! :-) I'm sorry that someone has been causing so much trouble and running people off from this beautiful community! Thanks Patricia and anyone else who has prayed for my marriage. In answer to the question you asked that I can remember: no, I don't think Retrouvaille is an option because hubby travels a lot for work and I don't think it would be possible for us to make it to the sessions. I'm not sure he would agree to it anyway, but.... I'm getting up the courage to seek out a new therapist (I've seen a couple of different ones in the past that either didn't help or I didn't follow through with recommendations) so I can start over trying to get my own thoughts in order and on a more positive track.
LauraL: As C.S. Lewis said, God takes so seriously the freedom He confers upon us that He is willing even to run the risk of men spitting in his eye. If to be free is to have the capacity for making wise & virtuous choices, it is at the same time the capacity to lose oneself in sin & damnation. That being said, even the most wicked among us are made in God's image. They, too, are redeemed, by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Adam & Eve disobeyed God's one command, thereby imposing their own will in place of God's & forming a barrier between God and humanity. All of creation, living & dead, visible & invisible, is holistically connected. What affects one creature affects all creatures. Therefore, the effects of suffering & sin are shared by all of creation. But...we find hope in that nothing is greater than God, even the terrible evil that results from the free will of God's creation. In the face of great suffering or evil, the Christian is called, through keeping the commandments to love God & our neighbor, to finds ways to alleviate suffering & reinforce God's love & goodness in the world. Marriage Misery: We will continue to pray for you both. It sounds like you are on the right track in gathering your strength & getting help for yourself. Tomorrow is a new day. God bless!
Been away for almost a week on a "staycation" at someone else's house. The last time I checked I almost certainly thought this blog was done. So glad I found it. I, too, will storm Heaven and ask St. Dymphna for her help. Claire, many years ago when my husband was away fishing I awoke to an odd sound over the baby moniter. It turned out to be a bat getting caught up in the ceiling fan. When I opened the door it swooped out to the rest of the house. (At that time I didn't know it was a bat - I thought it was a bird) Long story short, we found it a week later hanging upside down from a curtain rod in the spare room. The window was close to the wall and the valance hid him. A broom and an open window manage to work for us. So check your windows - carefully. Good luck! Prayers for everyone!
Thanks for the prayers everyone! (KMB: the first time I had a bat in my apartment, years ago when I was single, I also initially thought it was a bird!). The bat appeared at twilight, and my husband was able to catch it this time. We will have it tested for rabies, and we're going to have the bat man do a bat exclusion next week to figure out how it got in the house in the first place (so we can seal it off and hopefully prevent more bats).
Alice: I think they made the blog archive hard to find, in hopes that our friend won't find it (but hopefully everyone else will). My hope is that she will see it missing and assume that she succeeded in shutting down the blog, and then stop coming here. A girl can dream, right?
Marriage Misery: I'm so glad that you missed the drama earlier this week, and that you have found this thread. I agree with Patricia that you are definitely on the right track in pursuing the help you need. I will keep you in my prayers.
I'm glad I found this. I will also pray for the person who was posting on the open thread. I have to say (and I don't blame anyone - change happens), but I miss the old blog.
I miss it too.
Well, I am glad I *found* everyone over here! I wonder if I may ask those who did write in about my daughter's search for literature, could you repost here, please? I have been away from F and F and didn't get to see any answers. Thank you and God bless us and those who need it most!
Welcome back Donna! If I remember correctly, your daughter is 14 and is looking for humorous fiction? I had recommended the Great Brain series. It's a little young, and it's about boys, but the books are historical and hysterically funny . They feature a Catholic family in the 1800s. Lot of other people had great suggestions too, but I can't remember what they were. Unfortunately, I don't know that everyone knows where to look for the blog, now that it's not featured on the "front page" (and there aren't any new entries). But hopefully you'll get a few responses.
Glad you found us, Donna. I recommended the "All of a Kind" books. (Only the first one is in print, I think, but you can probably find the rest through interlibrary loan.) I think I also recommended some of Robert Louis Stevenson's books. They're targeted at boys, but I liked them. I was one of the last commenters, so others had already mentioned a few things I read as a teen such as the Betsy-Tacy books and (by Maude Lovelace, IIRC) Louisa May Alcott's books such as "Little Women" and the rest of that series and the series of three or four books that includes "Rose in Bloom."
Donna, I don't have any humorous book suggestions but a series I read when I was her age is called The Keeping Days by Norma Johnston. I believe they're out of print but you may be able to locate them at the library. Loved those books!
Someone else had mentioned Anne of Green Gables, which is a classic and has a fair amount of humor.
Donna, I had written a whole bunch of book suggestions, but I don't have a clue how to find the blog archive as some of you, I just saw this open this afternoon. If ClaireS or anyone else can find my answer in the blog archive, you are welcome to repost it for me, (although sounds like this opening that I found today might only be temporary?) Anyhow, if I have time later and can find it, I'll try to re-write my book suggestions.
Mary Therese, unfortunately, the thread where you posted your book recommendations has been removed, so none of us can access it. There are some other (old) threads in the blog archive, but that particular one was removed. For future reference: if you go to the Catholic Digest home page, scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on the small heading for "blog". That will take you to the blog archive. Thankfully our "friend" has not discovered this.
Thanks, Claire, for the info. :) Donna, here are some of the titles I posted last week. Someone already said Anne of Green Gables, and another older classic I've recently read is "An Old-Fashioned Girl", by Louisa May Alcott. Another more historical one that my daughter and I both enjoyed was "The Musician's Daughter" by Susanne Dunlap. Some fun humorous ones we've enjoyed are all those by Ally Carter--"Only the good spy young" series--plenty of humor, not very historical. Also liked "Princess of the Midnight Ball" by Susan Day George. "Cheaper by the Dozen" by Frank Gilbreath (not in fiction, usually biography) is a humorous historical book. Hope those help some!
In keeping with the old F&F coffee talk, I have a housekeeping question. I am trying to find a deep fryer that also stores the strained, used oil. My husband is looking for this and said he saw it somewhere but, obviously, can't remember where. Any ideas? Thanks!
Another housekeeping question...does anyone have any success stories in using more natural methods to treat fleas on your dog or as an alternative to flea bombing your house? This wet weather (at least in our area) has made it a bad year for fleas. I am reluctant to go the flea bomb route because I question the safety of the chemical exposure for our family. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Please pray for my husband he had a job interview we hope it went well and he hears from them and he can start working again he has not worked since his merger took place were seeking for him to get back to work soon thank you prayers intended and much needed Pat and family.
