A search on meetup for genealogy
Finding a new piece of information I had no idea about. My maternal grandfather's background was murky, he dies when my mom was very young and the families didn't speak, so the hunt was on based on what little info I had. I found him born in Wisc., rather than England (oops!), and a third cousin who was researching his brother...that led me to cousins in NY/NJ (one who lives two blocks from my job). That my great-grandmother was born in Spain. A trip to Staten Island to look through microfilm of the S.I. Advance newspaper gave me the first (and only) photograph of my grandfather on the front page!
Hi, I'm Joe. I've enjoyed genealogy for about twenty years, but finding ancestors across the Pond has been a challenge. The most fun was tracing my grandfather down and finding cousins. Let me know your favorite genealogy story.

Legendary investor, the 24th richest man in America, and a major holder of Time Warner stock, Carl Icahn, is not happy with the rumored AOL deal with Google and according to this News.com story*, is working to "derail" the deal.
From the article:
"Like all shareholders, I am not opposed to Time Warner entering into an AOL transaction that creates long-term value. However, I am deeply concerned that the Time Warner board may be on the verge of making a disastrous decision concerning an agreement with Google if this agreement would make it more difficult in any way or effectively preclude a merger or other type of transaction with companies such as (InterActiveCorp), eBay, Yahoo or Microsoft." Icahn wrote in an open letter to the Time Warner board of directors.
The full text or Mr. Icahn's letter is available here.
The letter includes the following paragraph where Icahn questions of Google is the best partner for AOL:
I also question whether Google is the best partner for unlocking the value of the AOL asset. Indeed, a recent Goldman Sachs report concludes, "In contrast to the conventional perspective, we believe that eBay, followed by InterActive Corp, would provide greater incremental benefits to AOL's option value with fewer conflicts of interest than Yahoo while MSN and Google would provide the least incremental benefits."
Icahn has been building support for a proxy fight to split AOL off before last Friday's news.
Icahn's letter goes on to say:
The real risk for Time Warner shareholders is that a Google joint venture may be short sighted in nature and may preclude any consideration of a broader set of alternatives that would better maximize value and ensure a bright future for AOL.
Once again, I am not opposed to the Board using its business judgment to enter into a transaction with Google or another suitor so long as the transaction does not destroy or impede Time Warner's flexibility to unlock shareholder value in the near and long term.
We should know more later this week afer the Time Warner Board Meeting.
More coverage of the possible Google/AOL deal is available here.

And when I work on a river, I know that there will be reflections, but I don't know how they will break and how many there will be.

These are very good! I've never really cared for chocolate banana bread, but this rocks! My kids say they taste like a brownie. The only change I made was that I used semi-sweet chocolate chips because I didn't have any milk chocolate chips. Either one, I'm sure is great! I wanted my kids to take this to school in their lunches so I made 12 muffins and baked for 20 minutes. I also got one large loaf pan (baked for one hour) and a mini loaf pan (baked for 40 minutes). I did use low-fat sour cream with great results. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
the first evening we made 30 mini muffins for youngest daughter church night doing the recipe as is......the next night we made 2 mini loaves and 2 med loaves using 1/2 cup marg and 1/2 cup applesauce.....very moist and very tasty and very very good!!
I made this b/c I had fat free sour cream that was going to expire! My husband & some of my in-laws LOVED it! I cut the recipe in 1/2 & used a 9X5 loaf pan--also used 1/2 Splenda & half sugar. Used about 1 cup mashed bananas--was nervous about using too much/too little but it worked great! I didn't have time to read all the reviews, but I did see how "layering" the choc chips worked great--so I did that, too! Used about 3/4 cup choc chips :-). I hope to make this again for company!! Thank u for sharing!
I wish I could give it more stars. I made it first without the cocoa, and it was fabulous. I made it again with the cocoa and it was even better. I had no sour cream so I used Mountain High plain yogurt without draining it and it was just fine as a substitute. Thank you so much, Miss Diggy!
Really tasty bread. I have made this twice now. Both times I halved the recipe. First time I pretty much made it as written and it was very good. Made it again today and lightened it up by subbing 1/2 the sugar with Splenda granular, using fat free sour cream, and replacing the butter with more fat free sour cream. It came out just as tasty this way, perhaps a bit denser and maybe a bit more moist.
This recipe is great! I substituted whole wheat flour instead of white flour, non-fat sour cream instead of full fat, and I used a mixture of apple sauce and mashed up raspberries instead of the butter. The raspberries gave the muffins a great tangy taste. Cut back on the sugar by about 1/2 cup and they still taste great. The recipe made one loaf and about 12 medium sized muffins (cooked the muffins for about 30 minutes.) Next time I will make lots of extras too freeze! Thanks!!
Excellent Banana Bread! I've made this recipe 4 times in the last 3 weeks! We've given it out to friends and neighbors and all with rave reviews! This will be a keeper, and added to my cookbook to share with future generations!
This recipe was good but the chocolate covered up too much of the banana flavor for my taste. I think I'll stick with my old stand-by but thanks for something new!
Wow! Surprisingly easy and delicious. I made the recipe exactly as written. This one really is more of a dessert than traditional banana bread. I'm going to make it again.
Wow !!! I made this recipe in cupcakes. Made 30. They are some of the most flavorful and moist cupcakes I have made. Will definitely be using this recipe again. Thanks !!!

A couple months ago, I was really nervous before an engagement session. Like sweaty hand nervous, which is so who-will-ask-me-to-Homecoming, right?! I mean, how old am I and why would my hands think it's okay to revert back to the days when I thought blond highlights looked natural on me?! GET IT TOGETHER, JASMINE.
In light of this, I begged JD to join me for the engagement session (his inner chi could calm a hurricane) and he obliged on the condition I'd treat him to McNuggets afterward (this? This is a big deal because I think McDonald's is trying to poison Americans…yes, I watch too many documentaries). Once we arrived, I fell into my usual shooting groove and he was at liberty to shoot what he wanted. JD filmed a few behind-the-scenes moments, which demonstrate how I use Directive Posing during an engagement session.
In this Shooting Star, I'll discuss the following…
*How I start an engagement session by using explanations to set expectations.
*How to use Directive Posing to smoothly move from one pose to the next.
*How to create naturally posed images by instructing subjects to walk while simultaneously pose.
If you'd like to see more on the topic of Directive Posing, feel free to check out THIS photography tutorial for a more in depth perspective to how I work with my clients.
Happy Wednesday!

Hey Jasmine!
Great post- I love listening to you talk to people and the way you communicate and encourage is inspiring.
Anyway, quick question- I saw that you were using a softbox at the engagement session in your video. Do you bring a generator for the times their isn't an outlet? I have wanted to bring softboxes to my sessions but the best way to plug in has always alluded me. 🙂 Thanks again for your hard work and all that you do to help others. We appreciate you!!
Awesome TIPs! can't wait to try it out… 🙂9.18.12 - 3:28 pm

This invention relates to respirators and ventilator equipment generally and in particular to an improved portable apparatus for assisting normal respiration in patients requiring such devices by the provision of both a pressure sigh and a volume sigh feature in a positive displacement respirator.
Prior portable positive displacement ventilators which have found acceptance have attempted to provide, with varying degrees of success, a so-called pressure sigh function, and some have provided a volume sigh function; but, the flexibility of reliably providing for both functions in a single unit so as to be adaptable to a large proportion of the population of ventilator users is important. Larger institutional devices employing enclosed bellows structures and the like kinds of apparatus with complex structure and controls including for example, supplemental turbine blowers, have been provided; however, these have not been easy to reduce in size effectively so the use of a portable unit has generally meant that certain desirable and often necessary features would not be present in the unit.
Further, some of the smaller positive displacement devices which have incorporated a variable volume capability have utilized either apparatus which have required the motor to be stopped during alteration of the effective radius of a crank arm which connected a connecting rod driving a piston or if designed to be run continuously have employed a variety of mechanisms for changing the effective radius of the crank arm for example, by stepwise mechanical movement of a jack screw during the revolution of the crank by means of impact engagement with mechanical activator tongs. These solutions have not been satisfactory for several reasons including the speed of the change, reliability and suitability for a variety of medical indications.
While it is desirable and therefore an objective of such devices to have continuous, reliable uninterrupted functioning of a positive displacement ventilator it is also a prime objective of such devices to be able to provide adjustment of the volume of air delivered in a predetermined timed relationship while simultaneously providing pressure protection for the patient regardless of the primary mode of function of the device.
There is extensive medical literature concerning the desirability and indeed the need for apparatus to have the capacity for an adjustable volume.
It is therefore one of the primary objectives of this invention to provide a portable ventilator respirator apparatus of the positive displacement type which reliably can provide for a pressure or a volume sigh by the provision of structure enabling the attainment of an adjustable volume or pressure while providing patient protection against excessive pressure. The foregoing is accomplished according to this invention in a rigid cylinder piston pump positive displacement respirator having means for controllably varying the length of the piston stroke from one predetermined first swept volume to another larger second swept volume and then back to the first swept volume in a timed sequential manner while providing means for preselecting a maximum delivery pressure when in either sigh cycle. Large capacity adjustable dump valves are also provided wherein a preselected timed sequential sigh can controllably be provided, wherein volume in excess of the patients requirements can be selected. For example, the ventilation pressure limit can be set to provide the required volume pressure relationship needed by the patient and dump the excess. A sigh pressure limit can also be set to provide an increased volume of air to the patient for a predetermined interval and frequency.

FIGS. 13, 14, and 15, are schematic representations of the wide variety of positions possible for the connecting rod shown in FIGS. 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
FIG. 16 is a schematic of the control functions of the device.
In FIG. 1, the respirator housing (1) is shown and which typically contains a volume indicator (2), an outlet (3) for connection to a patient, an inlet for receiving fresh air, various control knobs; such as a control knob (5) for breathing rate adjustment, a control knob (6) for a sigh per hour adjustment, control knobs for ventilation pressure (7); sigh pressure (8), and sigh duration (9).
In addition, switches are provided for increasing and decreasing volume (10) and for selecting between a volume sigh and a pressure sigh (11). Other controls for various safety features aspects and other functional aspects of the device are also provided.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the orientation of this perspective drawing was selected for better visualization of the mechanical components. The foreground of the drawing being the left hand side of FIG. 1 with the housing as well as the control circuitry removed. The cylinder (20) for housing a piston (80) (shown in FIG. 7) is shown with the ventilation pressure control (28) and the sigh pressure control (26) at the upper right with the volume indicator (22) shown near the rear of cylinder (20) in a position in registry with the volume indicator(2) on the front panel of FIG. 1. The motor (30) and motor gear box (31) are in the position they would occupy in the lower left hand side of FIG. 1. A stroke adjusting motor (32) which is operated in a manner that will be more fully explained hereinafter to increase or decrease the length of the stroke of the piston within cylinder (20), is provided with a direct connection for a visual indication on indicator (22) of the volume setting for the respirator. Piston connecting rod (40) is attached for rotational movement to gear (41).
Referring to FIG. 3, the orientation of this view is such as to be viewing the components of the inside of the respirator from the bottom right of the housing of FIG. 1 and shows the motor 30 and motor gear box (31) as well as the volume indicator (22) and cylinder (20). The outlet (53) for air from the device is provided to be in registry with the outlet (3) on the housing (1) and the intake (54) with inlet (4). The pressure control (28) is shown with its associated structure for adjusting the pressure on pressure valve (29) and the sigh pressure adjustment (26) with its associated structure for the adjustment of sigh pressure valve (27). The right end view of the respirator of FIG. 1 is shown more clearly in FIG. 4 where the intake (54) is shown with the intake valve seats (55) and (55) attached to the cylinder head. A rubber flapper check valve (not shown) is attached by screw and nut 81 inside of the cylinder head. This with seats (55) and (55) cooperate to act as an intake valve. A flanged cup (56) is provided for intimate contact with the inside of housing (1) in registry with the inlet (4) (FIG.1). The cup (56) is fastened to the end of the cylinder (20) by means of bolts and nuts shown generally as (57). The valves (27) and (29) are spring biased in the closed position on spring (47) and spring (49) which are damped by foam pads (42) and (43) at their extremities. Adjustment of the force of the spring (47) is achieved by turning sigh pressure control knob (8) in a clockwise direction to rotate shaft (44) which has a threaded portion to which is attached a threaded tang (45) attached to a second shaft which is received through a guide block (46) and terminates in an upset or collar which bears on an inclined portion of the spring (47) so that lateral movement of the integral shaft and collar (50) in the direction of valve (27) applies more spring force to the valve thereby permitting higher pressures to be reached within the cylinder (20) before the force of the air pressure overcomes the force on the valve (27) and releases the pressure back to a predetermined amount. Normal ventilation requires a less high pressure setting than that provided by the valve (27) which is set at a predetermined sigh pressure; so additional structure is provided (see FIG. 5) for additional control of the valve (29) since its comparible structure for spring biasing valve (29) into a closed position will generally be set for a lower spring force and therefore a lower pressure maximum. To produce a pressure sigh therefore it is necessary to provide control circuitry (not shown) which is responsive to the control knob (6) in setting sighs per hour and in association with such a timed relationship for the frequency and duration of sighs, electrical actuation of a selenoid (51) pulls bar (52) down onto valve 29 disabling the ventilation pressure setting and thereby permitting the pressure to rise until released at the pressure preset by the adjustment of sigh pressure control (26) acting on spring (47) which exerts a predetermined force against the opening of valve (27). Bar (52) is loosely mounted for a limited predetermined and adjustable movement by the bolt and nut combination (48) so that the end of the bar (52) which is moved by the action of the selenoid (51), essentially overrides the normal release of the pressure through valve (29). The pressure outlet (60) is provided for connection to the pressure gauge and pressure switches shown in FIG. 16.
Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7, the variable stroke aspect of the present invention will become clearer. The motor (30) appropriately energized will transmit rotary motion through a suitable reduction gear box where a gear box output shaft (not shown) is attached to a short crank (61) to which is attached a long connecting rod (62) and an intermediate crank (63). This latter crank by the action of the motor (30) imparts limited reciprocal rotational movement to shaft (65). The whole purpose of the connecting rod and crank arrangement is therefore to translate the rotational movement of a motor shaft in motor (30) into a predetermined amount of reciprocal rotational movement in the shaft (65) which in turn moves crank (66) reciprocally through a limited arc. Gear (41) is rotationally mounted on crank (66) and pivots at a tangent to its upper surface about pivot gear (67) which is mounted on shaft (68) whose centerline is in line with shaft (65). The output shaft of stroke adjusting motor (32) is filled with a worn gear (70) which drives gear (71) mounted on shaft (68) which in turn can rotate pivot gear (67) to rotate gear (41). Shaft (68) also drives the volume indicator (2).
As will be seen more clearly in FIG. 8 a rotation of crank (61) moves connecting rod (62) reciprocally to move crank (63) through a limited arc. This rocking motion is imparted to the shaft (65) attached to the crank (63) which in turn moves crank (66) and the attached gear (41) through a limited arc. The connecting rod (40) is attached to the gear (41) as shown in FIG. 7 and in turn to piston (80) which is received for reciprocal movement in cylinder (2) so that the movement of the piston (80) pumps air from inlets (55) and (55') through outlets (53) and (60) according to the description of the invention described herein.
Referring now to FIGS. 9, 10, 11, and 12, the sequence of the movement of the interconnected and interrelated structural elements of FIG. 8 can be seen. With the piston (40) in its starting position, crank (61) rotating counterclockwise, begins to pull the piston (80) back on the intake stroke by the movement of the connecting rod (62), the crank (63), the crank (66), the gear (41) and the connecting rod (40); from the respective positions shown in FIG. 9 to the positions shown in FIG. 10. Further movement of the crank (61) to the position shown in FIG. 11, completes the intake stroke of the piston (40) and begins the exhaust stroke. It is important to note the fixed positions of crank (63) and crank (66) with respect to each other as they both respond to the movement of connecting rod (62) and through their respective fixed connection to shaft (65) provide for the lateral movement of gear (41) and connected connecting rod (40) even though the connection of connecting rod (40) and gear (41) is freely rotatable. Assuming the same sequence of movement of each of the parts shown and described in FIGS. 9, 10, 11, and 12 it will now be readily apparent that the position of the connection between connecting rod (40) and gear (41) in relation to the centerline of shaft 65 will determine the lateral length of the stroke of the piston (80) within the cylinder (2). Within the limits imposed by the radial size of gear (41), the length of the stroke and therefore the volume swept by the piston (80) can be changed. Referring to FIGS. 13, 14, and 15; the movement of the worm gear (70) (FIGS. 6 and 7) will rotate spur gear (67) on shaft (68) thereby rotating the gear (41) into an infinite variety of positions which are representatively shown in FIGS. 13, 14, and 15. In this manner the gear (41) will pivot at the pivot gear (67) thereby providing for an infinitely variable length moment arm which results in variations in the volume swept in cylinder (20) by piston (8). When a reduction in volume is desired it is preferable to incorporate into a ventilator device the ability to locate the excursion of the piston nearer to the closed end of the cylinder head in order to provide for as small a dead air space as possible during operation at small volume settings. The apparatus of the present inventions attains this goal.
The overall control functions for the respirator of the present inventions are schematically represented and labeled in FIG. 16. The control of the volume changing motor and its relationship to the normal functions of a respirator which is not so equipped can be clearly appreciated and the selection of specific individual component parts for performing the specified functions and the selection and construction of the connections and circuitry can be straight forwardly accomplished without undue experimentation. Of course many variations are possible including adding multiple functions to a single control or the like depending on the choice of available control components.
In operation a respirator is normally set for a normal repetitive rate to conform to normal breathing at a specified volume related to the patient's normal respiratory volume. In this mode a sigh can be produced by changing the volume, i.e., by increasing the volume and permitting the pressure to rise from the normal pressure setting to a new higher pressure setting by actuation of the selenoid hold down shown in FIG. 8 in a timed manner responsive to the mechanism and timing for the increase in the stroke of the piston and therefore the increase in volume.
Likewise, by reference to the controls in FIG. 12 and the specific structures to which they relate the respirator can be set for a normal breathing rate and volume and for a sigh the volume can be increased beyond the volume desired for the particular patient and present adjustment by the force of the pressure preset as before on the spring (47) in FIG. 4 to the desired protection level thereby dumping the excess to the outside of the system. Again the change in the volume accomplished by the change in the stroke of the piston (80) in response to an adjustable timer (see FIGS. 1 and 10), i.e., three times per hour; or a number of normal breaths and then either a timed sigh or a number of sighs and each period of sigh may have an adjustable duration and must coincide with the actuation of the selenoid and the hold down of the normal pressure valve (29) so that the new higher pressure setting on valve (27) will control the pressure above which exhaust of the excess air will occur.
A given patient may have for example a normal respiration rate of one breath every six seconds and normally requires a sigh twice every twenty five minutes. The respirator according to this invention could then be adjusted to provide two deep breaths or sighs every twenty five minutes which would mean that the pump stroke would have to be varied for twelve full seconds every twenty five minutes to accommodate that particular patient. Obviously, the same setting for a patient who breathed twice as quickly would thus provide four deep breaths or sighs every twenty five minutes. The particular equipment described herein is provided with a wide range of controllable adjustment which will permit adjustment to provide for shorter or longer intervals between sighs and for longer or shorter sigh durations which will of course provide a number of sighs which are dependant upon the respiration rate of the particular patient and the predetermined interval between sighs and duration of the individual sigh or deep breath.
Other modes of possible operation are of course possible with various combinations of volume adjustment utilizing the timed variation in the stroke of the piston in combination with the selenoid operated adjustable breathing pressure valve (FIG. 8) and the adjustable sigh pressure valve used for control and patient protection in either the volume or pressure sigh mode of operation. Likewise the breaths per minute, sigh duration and frequency can be controllably adjusted for any of the previously described modes so as to provide for broad flexibility in use. For example, the respirator of the present invention can be employed with trach patients where there is an air leak around the trach tube. In such a case the breathing volume setting might have to be substantially greater than the normal breathing volume to accommodate for the leak. The patient by voluntarily closing his glottus may stop the leak and the higher volume of air entering the lungs can be pressure regulated by the setting of the sigh pressure valve to dump or exhaust the air above that needed to reach a preset sigh pressure or the patient can accept all the air and set the pressure relief valve for a higher pressure and thereby use the volume limiting feature of the breathing pressure valve.
It can be seen from the foregoing that the wide range of possible applications for the device of the present invention could possibly employ other structure and controls than those disclosed for achieving the same functional result. It is therefore contemplated by this invention that equvalent structure and controls in substitution for those disclosed to utilize some or all of the features of the present invention can accomplish some or all of the objectives of the present invention and the scope of the invention is therefore only limited by the appended claims utilizing such equivalent structures and controls.

I've been using this recipe for about 3 or 4 years now...HUGE hit at thanksgiving! Definitely a must try, even my son who "hates cauliflower" loves this one.
Nice change from mashed potatoes. Used vegetable broth but otherwise made it just as stated. Almost forgot to use the olive oil as it was not mentioned in the ingredients. Had it with vegetarian burgers, a very tasty and enjoyable dinner! Thanks for posting.

Vestal, NY (WBNG Binghamton)
It'll go down as a loss in the record books, but the BU Bearcats still made another loud statement to the rest of the America East last night against Boston.
The Bearcats were supposed to finish last in the conference, instead they went toe-to-toe with the America East favorites.
Through four league games, BU is 2 and 2 with its other loss coming in overtime.
Boston head coach Pat Chambers called the Bearcats one of the toughest teams he's seen all season.
So forget BU surprising any future opponents, not that Mark Macon would want to...
"We were never trying to sneak up on anybody anyway. Why? We want people to know we're coming. When I knock on your door, I want you to know who it is. If you don't, I might steal something. We're not trying to surprise anybody. Like I said, if I knock on your door and you ain't there, it's your fault your TV got stolen, not mine."
Moral of the story... Lock your doors.
Bearcats have the weekend off before traveling to Hartford on Thursday.

One of the many anticipated Wii U games this Holiday season is Wii Party U, the sequel to the original Wii Party. Nintendo has released yet another trailer of the party game, giving us a glimpse at even more of the many mini-games.
The new trailer showcases some of the many mini-games, such as Helicopters, Gourmet Cooking, Adventures in Space, Safari Jockeys, Swimming, Karate, and many, many more. In all, Wii Party U will feature over 80 different mini-games of all sorts. The game will be released later this month in North America, Europe, and Japan.
Wii Party U will include a Wiimote Plus controller and a GamePad stand, while still retailing at a regular $60. That's a great deal for any Wii U owner. Wii Party U will also be part of the new Wii U bundles scheduled for release in the UK next month.
Be sure to check out the previous Wii Party U trailer for even more mini-games, and some screenshots and artworks from the game as well.

My name is Lynnette. I operate an apartment complex where we have set aside a furnished unit for a vacation rental. My husband, Tex, and I have managed here for 5+ years. We enjoy all sports including softball, volleyball, skiing hiking. We love to spend our time outdoors with our kids.
We choose to turn one of our furnished apartments into a vacation rental as an amenity for our existing residents. It's been so successful that we have decided to share it with the public.
It's a great place... come check it out.
The best part of our rental is our location. Centrally located in Boise, one is able to access the Tri-valley easily. In addition, our fully furnished unit allows for eating in, creating a more home-like atmosphere. Visit the many attractions Boise has to offer or just relax by the pool or hot tub.
Our wonderful staff is here to answer your questions.
This is a non smoking unit. There is no smell in the unit any longer. The smell was actually left after the carpet was cleaned and not adequately aired out after service. It has been remedied.
Apartment was very nice, clean and comfortable and close to everything. Only minor thing was
the tenants above the apartment got alittle bit loud both nights we stayed, but they did eventually quiet
down and didn't disrupt our sleep.
Excellent accomodations for our stay in Boise. Clean, comfortable, convenient location, everything we needed was contained in the condo. Pool came in handy on those 100+ degree days! Easy access to downtown as well as major roads and airport. Lynnette was a pleasure!! Would recommend to any travelers to the Boise area!!
The unit was a perfect size for our family! It was in a very central location, the unit was well kept and Lynette was extremely helpful and responsive with an issue that came up while we were there. She resolved the problem in record time! I will definitely stay here again if we go back to that area.
Lynette was extremely helpful and the apartment is spacious, clean and lovely. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with beautiful dishes, lots of pots and pans and a large pantry. We would definitely stay here again. The only bummer is that the hot tub's jets weren't working.
We stayed at the unit for five days. Very comfortable, clean, user friendly. Enjoyed the view of the mountains and trees from the back patio. Very quiet for a multifamily living environment. Certainly recommending this unit to anyone going to Boise. Great central location for rides to other Idaho areas.
This is a great unit at the back of a well maintained apartment complex. It's nice and quiet and has a small walking trail steps from the front door. It was perfect for us and our 2 dogs while we waited for our house to close.
The unit was clean, but definitely had a cigarette smoke smell when we first arrived. I wonder if the previous renters smoked inside? That dissipated after a few days.
The unit is VERY well stocked - pots, pans, assorted spices, a great coffee maker and more.

Laura Beck chose Miami Valley Hospital (MVH) because she wanted to be close to home while also having a 'pioneer' in bariatric surgery on her side.
Laura's diabetes was 'out of control' as was her blood pressure. At 340 pounds, Laura knew she needed to do something serious and successful. "My parents were my support system. We visited the Cincinnati program first and then the one at Miami Valley Hospital." She was very impressed with the pre-surgery information seminar. "Plus the seminars were so much more personal. The ones in Cincinnati seemed like a big commercial."
Dr. Donovan Teel did her LAP-BAND® procedure and today she eats about one-sixth of what she ate before the surgery. Because of her diabetes, Laura's stay in the hospital was a day or two longer than normal. "I wanted to stay even longer because the staff was so great."
Prior to surgery, Laura was taking medicine for her diabetes and her high blood pressure.
"Since surgery I no longer take those medications. Plus I'm not tired all the time." Her feet used to swell and walking was difficult. "I've lost over 100 pounds and I feel great. I still have some more to lose."
Laura wants the world to know there is help and hope at MVH. "I tell everybody about the surgery. It absolutely saved my life."

Skip to comments.Retreatants (Papal Household) Hear of Guises of the Antichrist
Posted on 02/28/2007 6:28:51 PM PST by NYer
Preacher Draws On Work of V.S. Solovyov
VATICAN CITY, FEB. 28, 2007 (Zenit.org).- The Antichrist is the reduction of Christianity to an ideology, instead of a personal encounter with the Savior, says the cardinal directing the retreat which Benedict XVI is attending.
Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, retired archbishop of Bologna, delivered that message during a meditation Tuesday, drawing on the work of Russian philosopher Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov.
The cardinal's meditation came during the weeklong Spiritual Exercises being attended by the Pope and members of the Roman Curia. The retreat ends this Saturday. The Holy Father suspended his usual meetings, including the general audience, in these days.
According to Vatican Radio's summary of his preaching, the cardinal explained that "the teaching that the great Russian philosopher left us is that Christianity cannot be reduced to a set of values. At the center of being a Christian is, in fact, the personal encounter with Jesus Christ."
Quoting the work "Three Dialogues on War, Progress and the End of History," Cardinal Biffi told his listeners that "the Antichrist presents himself as pacifist, ecologist and ecumenist."
"He will convoke an ecumenical council and will seek the consensus of all the Christian confessions, granting something to each one. The masses will follow him, with the exception of small groups of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants," he said.
The cardinal added that Solovyov says in that work: "Days will come in Christianity in which they will try to reduce the salvific event to a mere series of values."
No cross
In his "Tale of the Antichrist" Solovyov foresees that a small group of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants will resist and will say to the Antichrist: "You give us everything, except what interests us, Jesus Christ."
For Cardinal Biffi, this narrative is a warning: "Today, in fact, we run the risk of having a Christianity which puts aside Jesus with his cross and resurrection."
The 78-year-old cardinal said that if Christians "limited themselves to speaking of shared values they would be more accepted on television programs and in social groups. But in this way, they will have renounced Jesus, the overwhelming reality of the resurrection."
The cardinal said he believes that this is "the danger that Christians face in our days the Son of God cannot be reduced to a series of good projects sanctioned by the prevailing worldly mentality."
However, "this does not mean a condemnation of values, but their careful discernment. There are absolute values, such as goodness, truth, beauty," Cardinal Biffi said. "Those who perceive and love them, also love Christ, even if they don't know it, because he is Truth, Beauty and Justice."
The preacher of the Spiritual Exercises added that "there are relative values, such as solidarity, love of peace and respect for nature. If these become absolute, uprooting or even opposing the proclamation of the event of salvation, then these values become an instigation to idolatry and obstacles on the way of salvation."
Cardinal Biffi affirmed that "if Christianity -- on opening itself to the world and dialoguing with all -- dilutes the salvific event, it closes itself to a personal relationship with Jesus and places itself on the side of the Antichrist."
[END TIMES PROPHECY DREAMS VISIONS PING LIST PING. Please let me know if you want on or off the ping list]
AN EXCELLENT SERMON. I agree rather wholeheartedly. Praise God.
Cardinal Biffi told his listeners that "the Antichrist presents himself as pacifist, ecologist and ecumenist."
"He will convoke an ecumenical council and will seek the consensus of all the Christian confessions, granting something to each one. The masses will follow him, with the exception of small groups of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants," he said.
The cardinal added that Solovyov says in that work: "Days will come in Christianity in which they will try to reduce the salvific event to a mere series of values."
No cross
In his "Tale of the Antichrist" Solovyov foresees that a small group of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants will resist and will say to the Antichrist: "You give us everything, except what interests us, Jesus Christ."
For Cardinal Biffi, this narrative is a warning: "Today, in fact, we run the risk of having a Christianity which puts aside Jesus with his cross and resurrection."
It's already happening.
The preacher of the Spiritual Exercises added that "there are relative values, such as solidarity, love of peace and respect for nature. If these become absolute, uprooting or even opposing the proclamation of the event of salvation, then these values become an instigation to idolatry and obstacles on the way of salvation."
"Peace" is not a value in itself, but depends on the absolute values, probably particularly Truth. So many churches have gone astray by ignoring the absolute values and exalting the relative values, which cease to exist and even become dangerous once you remove the absolute to which they refer. Sometimes when I hear the words to some of the hymns they write nowadays, I think the Antichrist must be already here among us!
Curious, what do you think he means by this?
I'd actually love the swarm to join in this discussion!
this reminds me of when/why Pope Benedict was so angry with the Franciscans at Assisi - they tried to re-make Saint Francis as a pacifist, ecologist, and syncretist.
He was not a pacifist?
Absolutely not. Franscis participated in the fifth Crusade as chaplain of troops who were certainly not men of peace. He sought martyrdom through participating in a crusade to reconquer the Holy Land and fell into depression when the crusaders lost. He did not go to the sultan to dialog but to try and convert him, challenging him to walk over burning coals to prove whether Christ or Mohammed was more powerful. And he was not even an animal lover. In his Song of Creation, he never mentions animals. Nor was he an ecologist! He opposed those among his followers who wanted to be a vegetarian community.
Now, therefore, the Pope wishes to re-establish orthodoxy?
Of course. Even in San Giovanni Rotondo [hometown of Padre Pio], the Franciscans have taken the Sanctuary from the control of the diocese. So both there and in Assisi, it is important that the friars initiatives be in agreement with that of the bishopric. It wil be good even for the Sacred Convent [main Franciscan church in Assisi], because it will put an end to the friars' politically correct demagoguery. An end to the pretense of peace, ecology, ecumenism and pseudo-courageous vaingloriousness which shakes the hands of dictators [this refers to the ostentatious welcome given by the friars to Saddam's deputy Tariq Aziz, a Christian, when he visited Assisi a few months before the war] and violates the Church itself.
The Pope wants to normalize things?
The spirit of Assisi is not what the friars of the Sacred Convent have made it to be, and Joseph Ratzinger is fully aware of the colossal error made during that World Day of Prayer in 1986. So much so that three years later, he succeeded in attenuating the syncretist tendencies of the last inter-religious meeting in Assisi, beginning with a correction of the false picture of the historic Francis . And it has been disconcerting that up to now, the bishop of Assisi has learned of any new initiative by the friars only by reading about it in the papers.
The end to the world capital of ecumenism?
The sanctuaries should coordinate with the bishops. Ratzingers intervention at this point is irreproachable. The Pope has followed his own style, acting in a respectful manner that does not interfere with the monastic life of the order itself, but decisively, in a way that serves as a warning to all. The Church will no longer tolerate events which are exempt from the laws of the Church. It is a choice that is well within Benedicts pastoral strategy. No one can be a law unto themselves.
I'll be part of the small group that doesn't follow Antichrist. Anyone else?
What Catholics call the Corporal Works of Mercy. As a friend of mine said, "Even the New York Times believes in the Corporal Works of Mercy."
I'd like to see a full transcript of the Cardinal's reflection and find out what the author of this article replaced with the ellipsis (sp?).
Ecumenical bump!!!
Though I don't have such a problem with SOME of the modern worship music's words--though I prefer a lot of the classics of the faith more.
Even a lot of the choruses are Biblical enough and Christ centered enough. Some may be over simplistic or over redundant.
And, you may be aware of many I'd agree with you on but am not aware of.
But I absolutely deplore the worship music volume being tenaciously pegged literally at 95-125 and even 150db. That's cruel and inhuman punishment. Especially to babies! Sheesh!
And when one complains, in far too many churches, one is labeled a trouble maker or not very spiritual or some such idiocy.
This ignorant protesty is not all that well read in all that. But from what I do know, your analysis seems quite apt, fitting. Thanks.
The swarm?
Absolutely excellent. Bravo! and extra prayers for Cardinal Biffi.
Me too, with God's help.
A worthy read and worth discussing, imho.
A worthy read and worth discussing, imho.
Thanks for the ping!
I think he means the UN Millenium Development Goals.
I was in Assisi a couple of weeks ago. I went with great dread because I thought it was going to be like going to an encampment of the "Rainbow Nation" or some other hippie flake-fest. But whatever BXVI has done to improve it has worked.
The place struck me as totally orthodox, St. Francis was correctly portrayed as someone on fire with the love of God and wishing to make conversions and suffer to do so, there were lines at the confessionals, etc. We even stumbled into the Vespers of a small new community of (young) TOR brothers and sisters, and they were all in habits, singing the psalms, and I didn't see a single peace sign in the place. Nor did I see what I was really fearing, non-Christian symbols or worship in the churches or other Franciscan holy places.
I don't know what has happened to the Franciscans, who were an order that really went down hill (I read that they had the highest AIDS rate of any order). Possibly because there are so many Franciscan orders or variants thereof, the bad ones have dwindled and good ones have been encouraged to come forward and take their places. But while I didn't have any in-depth conversations with any of them, I didn't get the impression that there was much weirdness going on, and Sunday Mass was orthodox, carefully celebrated and had a very sound sermon (unless my Italian is so bad that I completely misunderstood it!).
Myabe BXVI has "rescued" St. Francis.
I think they probably make it loud to cover up the gasps of horror from the congregation. I agree, not all modern church music is bad and I have actually heard some very nice things with good, orthodox lyrics, and they don't sound like advertising jingles, either. So maybe there's hope that someday we won't have to grit our teeth every time the music starts up!
Now the J*suits I'm familiar with! They somehow went from being the most militant and rightwing order (so militant they were suppressed for a while) to being "secretly behind Communism."
We are seeing that right now. Look at the PDL founder, and the havoc it is causing across confessional lines. Most Christians today in the West do know Christ.
Come Lord Jesus.
Oops, see you already found this.
To say "the Franciscans" as though they were a monolithic group isn't really accurate. More so than any other Founders that I can think of, Sts. Francis and Clare spawned a multiplicity of more or less independent orders. Some have more nuts, fruits and flakes than the entire State of California, whilst others are quite sane and orthodox. I'm not sure the tendencies of the Franciscan community in charge of the Holy Land places, but trying to extrapolate either from the nutters that were once in charge at Assisi OR from a group like the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in New York isn't going to be very useful.
The Jesuits, as you note, are a different matter ... even so there are still a few sane men in that order.
Al Gore?
---"if Christianity -- on opening itself to the world and dialoguing with all -- dilutes the salvific event, it closes itself to a personal relationship with Jesus and places itself on the side of the Antichrist."---
Sounds like more than one liberal church.
There's been a tendency in modernist circles to do just that for decades. In fact, I think that's what modernism is all about ... deny the supernatural, deny the Divine, just try to make everything happy, warm and fuzzy. It's nauseating.
The cardinal said he believes that this is "the danger that Christians face in our days the Son of God cannot be reduced to a series of good projects sanctioned by the prevailing worldly mentality."
I believe he is referring to organizations and programs sponsored by the likes of the UN or WHO, etc.
What is shocking to me isn't that this is happening, but that it is happening everywhere. It isn't just a "fringe" movement or limited to the nuts and fruits of Christianity, but in every Church, Synod, and Confession you can see the same pull for Christianity lite. I am not a Roman Catholic, and you are not a Lutheran, but on a great many things we do agree. What is shocking today, is that those very things we DO agree (the Incarnation, the Cross, Salvation, etc) have become what many are trying hard to jettison.
The Franciscans really went nutz after VatII. Structurally, "Franciscan" is a very loose designation (that is, there are many orders in the "Franciscan family") and there are some good ones, and most of the bad ones are withering up and dying off.
Incidentally, I visited the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, where there is a reliquary containing things such as fragments of the Crib, etc. These were relics that were kept in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem until the Muslims took over the Holy Land in 640 A.D. (the fall of Caesarea). This was just after Islam was founded, which shows how aggressive and hostile to Christianity it was from the very beginning.
The relics were brought to Rome for safekeeping. Then, after the brief period when the Crusaders managed to drive the Muslims out, when Acre fell in 1291 and the Muslims took over the area again, more relics were concentrated in Rome because Christians were excluded from the Christian holy sites by the Muslim invaders. A pilgrim who made the trip to the relics in Rome would be considered to have made a pilgrimage to Bethlehem, since visiting the actual place itself was no longer possible.
So you can see how long problems with the holy sites have been going on (since the inception of Islam, essentially).
I don't know if you read First Things (a magazine that one might describe as "ecumenical orthodoxy"), but there's a good article in this issue about the "metaphysical religion" that many Americans have adopted - including many churches, whether formally or informally. Someone has written a book about the history of this aspect of American religion, and Fr. Neuhaus' review of it is very interesting.
Many people continue to go to creedal churches but their actual beliefs are entirely different. This ranges from things like viewing Jesus as a great philosopher to believing in reincarnation (something like 30% of self-identified Christians say they believe in reincarnation!). It's an article worth reading.
Satan is attacking the truth. He'll fail, of course, but many will be deceived.
Sounds eerily similar to the plot of "Father Elijah" by Michael O'Brien, no? The whole package being the One World Religion movement. We have "spoken" of the impact of this book several times by Freepmail. I hope more Catholic readers will pick it up and be enlightened and horrified simultaneously. O'Brien also has it pegged.
Who Am I to turn down a once in a lifetime request?!?
Sounds like liberal protestant theology....
What a find! That image is what haunts me still! I need to get another copy. I lent it out and never got it back. To think that it is sitting on a bookshelf gathering dust because someone "could not get into it" is too much to bear.
Oh come on. St. Francis did love animals. There is way too much evidence for that, He was not however a worshiper of "Mother Earth".
St. Francis loved animals as God's creatures and often used animals as examples - for example, the lamb was the example of innocence and humility, the birds cared not for possessions and sang God's praise, etc. There is a lovely statue of him at Santa Maria degli Angeli in Assisi, standing with a kneeling lamb at his his side. This refers to a story where someone gave him a lamb that followed him around and, when it came into church with him, knelt at the Elevation of the Host.
I think what people here are saying is that St. Francis wasn't the type who'd be out buying a rhinestone-studded raincoat for his dog or feeding his cat hand-chopped filet mignon. He loved animals, but in their place, as animals and God's creatures.

Olivia Becker, mom of patient Francesca Becker, Redmond, Wash.
When our youngest daughter, Francesca, was hospitalized at Seattle Children's for a stubborn pneumonia, what was supposed to last two days turned into two of the scariest months of our lives.
It quickly became clear that pneumonia wasn't Frankie's biggest health issue.
We spent our days in conferences with dozens of specialists trying to crack the code of her mysterious illness. They treated us as equals, saying "you know Frankie best."
Our lowest point came when Frankie spent her 11th birthday in a drug-induced coma, so that a machine could take over the work of her lungs. We lived in constant terror that she would slip away from us forever.
We were in such a vulnerable position. Participating in the conferences and assisting the nurses in Frankie's bedside care kept us sane. Being on the team was our lifeline; without it, we would have lived at the hospital in complete helplessness and desperation.
Looking back, I realize just how many things we got at Children's that we didn't even know we needed. The most important thing was being involved – a therapy as critical for us as the medication being pumped into our daughter's body.
We experienced the worst days of our lives at Children's, but also the best. Our team finally nailed the diagnosis – a very rare but treatable autoimmune condition that occurs in one out of every one million kids.
We always knew Frankie was one in a million. What we learned is that Children's is one in a million, too.
