Acetylcholine is a compound released from the ends of nerve fibers and it is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. DMAE also may stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, an important component of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine is an essential fatty acid that improves and protects cell membranes damaged by free-radicals and improves blood flow and circulation. An intriguing finding in some DMAE studies was that it reduced the accumulation of lipofuscin deposits inside cells. Lipofuscin deposits are cellular pigment consisting of aggregated chucks of molecular waste. It has been demonstrated that DMAE causes some degree of skin and pore tightening. However, it remains unclear how DMAE firms the skin -- whether by stabilizing the membranes, boosting acetylcholine, reducing lipofuscin deposits or none of the above. Whatever the mechanism, the effect of DMAE is often noticeable although seldom dramatic. Besides, even though DMAE can't fully reverse the existing facial sag, it may reduce its further progression. People report a cumulative effect with continued use of DMAE.

Phospholipids are a principal component of human cell membranes. Their structures allow special protein molecules to selectively transport ions through membranes. Phospholipids look like triglycerides except that one of the fatty acid chains is substituted by the phosphor compound, phosphate ester. The phosphor compound increases the water affinity of glycoside, giving it the ability to work as an emulsifier. Lecithin is a super skin restorative agent and moisturizer. It has the ability to penetrate the epidermis and carry substances to the right cell level. They also can form cell-like structures called liposomes. A liposome are formed when a group of phospholipids are placed on the skin; they spontaneously arrange themselves to match their water loving heads together and their oil loving tails together to form a microscopic sphere. These spheres are similar in construction to an actual cell membrane. They are then able to pass through the epidermis and act as a carrier of substances that attach themselves. Phospholipids in studies were found to be hygroscopic, which means they attract water from the surrounding air and hold hydration in place. They help increase hydration levels in the skin without modifying the water loss rate of the skin. Phosphatidylcholine, which is one component of lecithin has a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acid chains, 70% linoleic acid and 6% linolenic acid. Which in Europe is referred to as Vitamin F.

Emollient, lubricating and moisturizing for the skin. like other oils, can retain moisture in the skin. It may also provide a protective barrier that resists infection in pre-term infants. Studies using sunflower oil have been conducted involving low birth weight pre-term infants that are often susceptible to infection due to their underdeveloped skin. The study determined that infants receiving a daily skin treatment of sunflower oil were 41% less likely to develop infections in hospital
TTocopherol (Vitamin E) Vitamin E in a stable form which allows penetration into the skin to work as powerful antioxidants. Acts as a free radical scavenger, hinders the oxidizing process in the skin and promotes soft and supple skin. As an antioxidant it defends the skin. Helpful in reducing scars and promotes healing. Acts as a natural preservative for products. Obtained by the vacuum distillation of edible vegetable oils. Vitamin E oil is an emollient. According to the AMA's committee on Cutaneous Health emollients do help make the skin feel softer and smoother, reduce roughness, cracking and irritation. And may possibly retard the fine wrinkles of aging. As an antioxidant it is believed to remove the free radicals that cells produce. Free radicals have been associated with skin cancer and premature skin aging due to sun exposure. Some experts believe antioxidants are the most vital weapons in the fight against aging. Most of the damage of our skin is caused by a free-radical assault from smoke, pollution and UV rays. Free radicals then turn the oils of our skin rancid, which damages the collagen. Collagen is the protein fibers that serve as the building blocks of our skin. Antioxidants are used in skin care products to neutralize free radicals before they ravage the skin. Binds free radicals and prevents their destructive action in lipids, cells and cell membranes. Vitamin E promotes the biological stability of the cells and smoothes and strengthens the skin. It also has moisturizing properties. This is the natural form of Vitamin E obtained by the vacuum distillation of edible vegetable oils such as wheat germ. It is an effective antioxidant with healing and rejuvenating benefits that help prevent cell damage by neutralizing free radicals.
V Vitamin D3 Soothes skin; has corrective qualities; an excellent skin nutrient; emollient, moisturizer.
W Wheat Germ Oil A nutritional oil with naturally occurring fatty acids containing good sources of Vitamin E and Omega-3 fatty acids. Willow Bark The bark of the white willow tree is the main source of Salicylic acid-like ingredients. A superior exfoliant (both the skin surface and within pores) that is effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving overall facial texture without the irritation associated with the popular alpha hydroxy, glycolic acid. It concentrates its exfoliation action in the lipid-rich outer layers of the skin, where the skin's natural rate of exfoliation reduces with aging, causing a buildup of dry, dull skin flakes. Increases cell renewal. Prevents and heals blemishes.
YYarrow A mild, soothing astringent. Purges skin of deep-rooted impurities and promotes a clear complexion.
Z Zinc Oxide A physical sun block that reflects the sun's rays and does penetrate the skin and provides a broad spectrum sunscreen. this means it covers the whole spectrum of UVR that reaches the earth (200-400 nm).

Im 41, male, 57, 165 lbs., with some belly flab. Ive been primal/sometimes primal-ish for a few years but Ive been practicing strict paleo lately (no dairy, gluten, grains, legumes, soy, sugar, etc., not too many nuts, not much fruit) for about a month.
I get plenty of sleep, have no stress, take no meds, and have no medical issues or impairments. I dont eat processed food and I take a vitamin D supplement and fish oil. I lift 3 times per week (I do the New Rules of Lifting for Life program which combines strength training along with core work, stability, power, and some metabolic conditioning). I go for at least one walk every day, usually two walks per day lately.
I skip breakfast most days in order to IF, and because Im just plain not hungry in the mornings, so why eat? Lunch is typically kind of small and supper is usually a lot of food. All strict paleo of course. I do not snack during the day, but admittedly I have a little problem with snacking at night.
My body loves strict paleo and I feel amazing all the time. Dont get me wrong, Im happy and healthy but Im trying to lose the last of my belly fat and love handles and Im stalled. It seems Im doing everything right so what can I do differently? And ideas? Im totally at a loss regarding what else to do.

As most of you have already noticed, being a modesty blogger, I don't really talk much about the problems I see everywhere with sexuality as much as I talk about what inspires me in my clothing. If you highly doubt that I am not aware of these problems, because I have built my entire blog around sexual purity in clothing, then you are correct. I have all my writings on my philosophy grouped in a section of my blog, and I only bring it up once in a while. There is so much going on with promiscuity all over the world that if I blogged about everything that bothered me, it would just be very depressing and very negative. I'm so aware of these things all around me that I honestly rarely read anything that talks about modesty for modesty's sake, but instead I choose to ponder on things that give me inspiration such as the beauty that I find in untapped resources in music and in film. There really is nothing wrong with reading about the dangers of carelessness in clothing as it relates to lust and self preservation, especially if you are still unsure about the decision, want to be encouraged, or want to teach others about it. Although, I am at a point where my senses have been so incredibly heightened to the specific problem of sexual impurity all around me, that I believe it is not doing me much good to dwell on the problems themselves. The good thing that resulted from my sensitivity to this matter is that this blog was created and has hopefully inspired many to pursue a more attractive presentation of modesty to others who might not understand. In my personal life, this sensitivity has caused me unnecessary pain, but it has thankfully allowed me to be a vessel of some sort to shed light on this issue. In all honesty, often times I wish that I weren't so sensitive to my concerns. It has been both a blessing and a curse to feel so strongly against impurity.
Despite my saying of avoiding negative talk, I am going to, at least for this post, address some things that have been on my mind lately and present the following in a more constructive manner to the best of my abilities:
- Commercials that should cause commotion – If you have not seen the latest Tide with Acti-Lift Detergent "Too Short" commercial, you may view it on YouTube. While searching for the video link, I also stumbled upon an ethics site that discussed whether the message was or not ethical in nature—to which most concluded that the commercial was nothing too unethical to note. Although not at all pornographic, the subtle message of this commercial screams "Dad, you're an old fart who can't appreciate my choice to wear mini skirts. Mom, you're the best for trying to side with me!" To the pro-choice feminist, this commercial is to be raved about. It celebrates putting down the actions of the male head of the house, the father. It rejoices in the individual expression of the tween to wear whatever she likes, with the other female (the mother) supporting her. To the true "feminist" supporting femininity and modesty, this commercial does just the opposite in her viewpoint. Although I have to admit I never enjoyed when one of my parents (especially both) told me what I couldn't wear, I do see now that some of the choices I made back then weren't very wise. I can still argue that some of the things they didn't want me to put on were probably just a matter of distaste in preference over morality. The immoral side of my wardrobe then, though, I do agree was just a stumbling block to my self-dignity as well as to the minds of the men around me. As for my preference for wearing some conspicuous pieces for my safe self-expression, I would still wear the majority to do this day with no bones about it. As subtle as the Tide commercial is, it is still harmful for young girls to garner the wrong strength from this misleading advertisement. Even though I must say there are much more blatant commercials out there with visual sexual content in them, that still doesn't make this commercial okay.
- Strategically placing enticing content – Although I have not confirmed this, my friend Imon pointed out to me that Victoria's Secret's stores are always placed in the first floor of malls where all the men or unisex stores are placed. Why not place the lingerie store where all the women's clothes are? I can only assume that it was strategically placed where it is now to be seen by men in hopes of buying stuff for their women while looking at other women's boobs. A very similar commercial strategy is used to entice grocery shoppers to buy the last minute useless magazines, junk, and batteries displayed next to the counter—stuff that would otherwise be forgotten if they weren't there. I think displaying candy and beef jerky where they are visible is okay, but displaying eye candy of almost naked bodies and beefy jerks isn't. Also, can the commercial cops at least (if it cannot be eradicated) please have the unavoidable TV commercials, street ads, and magazine covers be grouped in the mature-only section where they are harder to access and cannot be freely seen by avoiding eyes including faithful men and innocent children? If you are interested in reading about what I wrote about magazines, you may view it in my post, "Are You a Cosmo Girl or a Kosmios Girl?"
- Changes in movie ratings over time – For some of you who may not know, the rating PG13 was a recent addition to the movie rating categories. It enabled the display of nudity in a non-sexual context. Tell me, if a bodacious woman were to stand still in the middle of the room without doing anything in front of a thirteen-year-old boy in all his raging hormones, would that kid not be sexually enticed? I still believe that nudity, partial or full, should effect an R rating in any movie. I am glad though that the ratings have been much improved throughout the years. Movies such as Clash of the Titans (1981) and Sixteen Candles (1984) had full frontal female nudity and were only rated PG. Chaplin (1992), as an example of a loose PG13 rating, had constant full frontal female nudity as well. While the ratings have been improved throughout movie-rating evolution, what is okay to display as far as sexuality has become much looser. The movies I have listed here and many others that have sexual content in them are still awesome movies in my opinion, but I think they did not need all that sexuality in them. Great directors and stories should speak for themselves without having to use sex to sell.
- Unrealistic women's combat and winter outfits (and bodies)– You see women dressed in bikinis or scant clothing in action movies and games, but is this picture realistic? Wouldn't these women not want to be bruised and scraped easily by covering it up with some kind of metal instead of exposing their skin? One of the very few women in video games who actually wears full armor, although not entirely fool proof as some of you Metroid gamers might know, is Samus from Metroid. I don't know about you, but I love my skin too much to want to see it scabbed when I can just cover it up with more clothing easily. One of the reasons I did not learn how to bike properly as a kid (but was good at swimming and enjoyed hiking) was because I told myself that I would rather drown swimming than see my legs and arms have scabs from possibly falling off a bike. Although that was just a completely silly notion, it does make sense for someone to want to have her body safe during physical activities. This same annoyance comes to me when women dress like it's summertime in the cold. I for one was known to dress like that in high school, but now I admit, that was just stupid. As for female animation characters with size E (for enlarged) chests and long Jack Skellington legs, haven't we already expressed our childhood disappointments with Barbie's unattainable and abnormal body? It's not realistic. Men can work out to grow muscles, but what does this depiction encourage women to do—get cosmetic surgery?
- "Safe" web browsing isn't really safe– Even with internet filter software or even just Web site–built filters, surfing on the Web is never safe, especially for sexual content. I advise you to tell men who want to fight for purity not to use Google images to search for pictures of anything. A search for the most innocent thing you have in mind will almost always have an unrelated image(s) of naked bodies. If guys need to look up images, use another search engine to do this or just use the regular search box (not images) to look for them. Youtube also has unrelated videos show up with obscene thumbnails with your currently viewed video, but what to do about it is unbeknownst to me, because Youtube is the happenin' place to view Internet videos. I would suggest having the males view Youtube with someone else to decrease temptation. For everyone else, Youtube, I must vouch, can be a total time-waster if you just stay there without a goal of what you want to see in mind.
- Restrictions aren't only for children– Although my husband and I are customers of the wonderful ClearPlay technology that can be set to skip questionable scenes in movies through its customizable filters, the way the Web site or even the staff present itself—at least as it seemed from my correspondence with an employee—implied that the restriction it has created through the use of this video player was for parents who have children. My husband and I—although we're planning to have children—and our couple friends who recommended us the player do not have little ones, and we need it for ourselves. The product is clearly being used by us married couples to help keep our minds pure and focused on developing and expressing sexuality only to our mates. Obviously, avoiding movies isn't the answer to outer-marital lust, but it does help somewhat not to have those uncalled for sexy images lingering in our heads. Even with that said, I wouldn't just say that ClearPlay and all the other filters out there are for families and married couples. I believe that restrictions should be placed on everyone wanting to lead a pure thought life. Single men especially are as prone if not more prone to impurity in their thought life as married men (or even single or married women).
These are just some of the things that have been on my mind lately, and some of them are so important not to ignore that I might just write a separate post about them. I kept these in bullet form to give you just a quick glance at some of the problems with sexuality that need to be worked on. Restriction and boundaries are absolutely necessary in my opinion for a human's well-being. Some I'm sure will argue that curtailing certain things for ourselves doesn't give us a good picture of the world, but that is not considering how some things actually harm us. From a scientific and societal view point, isn't that where what we call evolution brought us—removing things that cause us harm to build a better self? We can but shouldn't engage in everything. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10:23 says that everything is permissible, yes, but not everything is beneficial to us. I can relate the problem of sexuality to the problem of obesity through this passage. It just makes sense.
This post has been rated R for ranting, and it has ended. For now.

Welcome to the School Zone column, which is published every Thursday. My goal is to provide a snapshot of what's happening in the schools in Mobile and Baldwin counties.
Educators and industry leaders are excited about the possibilities presented by the state's new career technical dual enrollment scholarship program. In a media conference last week at the Alabama Industrial Development Training center, officials talked about how the scholarships will greatly expand training options for students, and should have a significant effect on building the region's workforce.
Officials from Bishop State Community College and Austal USA also announced a partnership – a five-week pre-employment program – as part of the initiative.
The scholarships will make it easier for students to take advantage of career-tech, dual enrollment programs, which allow them to earn college credit while still in high school. Read more here.
Virtual learning: The Baldwin County school system will hold a national conference next month to spread the word on how Digital Renaissance is making a difference in its schools. The conference will give participants an overview of the Baldwin school system's Digital Renaissance initiative, now finishing its second full year. Starting in January, school officials expanded the program to kindergarten, issuing laptops or iPads to all of the district's nearly 30,000 students. Read more here.
High school graduations will start this weekend, on both sides of the bay. On Friday, May 16, the schedule includes Augusta Evans Special School, McGill-Toolen Catholic High School, Chickasaw High School and Satsuma High School. On Saturday, May 17, Citronelle High School and St. Paul's Episcopal School commencements are on tap; and on Sunday, May 18, Bayside Academy and St. Luke's Episcopal School graduates will march. For the full roundup, click here.
Alabama's state-funded prekindergarten program, which received perfect marks on a national report for the eighth straight year, will expand by 101 classrooms next school year, making the program about one-third larger. On Tuesday, the governor's office released a list of 101 new state-funded grants, which were awarded in 40 counties, including five in Mobile County and four in Baldwin County. Read more here.
Real estate deals: The University of South Alabama received a very nice gift last week: The donation of a presidential residence, valued at $1 million. USA's new president, Tony G. Waldrop, and his wife, Julee Briscoe Waldrop, will live there, but the home will also be used for university functions. USA once owned another lovely Mobile mansion, the Delchamps home in the Delwood neighborhood, but it wasn't used as a residence, so it was eventually sold.
And in other real estate news, it appears that the Mobile County school board may soon be able to sell two historic properties, the Old Shell Road School and the Russell School building. Georgia-based developer Pace Burt Jr. made an offer last fall to buy both for $800,000. He plans to convert them into upscale apartments. Read more here.
Kudos ...
... To the winners of the Mobile County school system's "It Starts With Us" awards. The gala was held May 8 in the Saenger Theatre. Read more here.
... To Phillips Preparatory School staff and students, who have every reason to be proud: Their school made the list of the top 50 middle schools in the U.S., according to a new report by The Best Schools. Phillips, which comes in at No. 42 on the list, is one of the Mobile County school system's 12 National Blue Ribbon Schools recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Read more here.
The Chickasaw City School Board will meet at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, at 201 N. Craft Highway.

A one-stop source for information on downtown Port Orchard is now available.
From finding businesses, updates on the new Public Market and pedestrian walkway or a calendar of events, the Port Orchard Bay Street Association (POBSA) announced they launched their new website, www.pobsa.com.
"The new website introduces our community to first time visitors and long time residents," said Bek Ashby, chairman of the POBSA marketing committee. "We wanted to design something simple and easy to use that would still be dynamic. Developing the site gave us an opportunity to reach out to all of our member businesses, get updated information and at the same time gave the members an opportunity to review and refresh their own websites and Facebook pages."
Ashby said the Web Committee, which included Shelia Cline of the Jingle Bell Run and Kathleen Wilson of the Port Orchard Library, worked on the website.
"Sheila has made a remarkable difference in revitalizing our Facebook page," Ashby said. "We worked with Guy R. Cook of vDomainHosting in building the site and were able to collaborate with the City of Port Orchard, Fathoms o' Fun, the Chamber of Commerce, VCB and Port of Bremerton as we worked hard to make www.pobsa.com a great place to find out what's happening in Port Orchard."
POBSA is a non-profit association committed to promoting and enhancing downtown Port Orchard.

Inside the Betamore incubator in Federal Hill. Betamore
The UpTake: Mike Brenner, co-founder of Baltimore startup incubator Betamore, is looking to connect the entrepreneurial ecosystems of his city and Washington, D.C. To that end, he's struck a partnership with D.C. accelerator 1776.
A Baltimore tech and entrepreneurship incubator is partnering with a peer in Washington, D.C., to bring the two startup rich communities closer together.
Executives at Betamore, the 15-month-old incubator in Federal Hill, hope the deal with 1776 will connect its tenants to political and financial experts in D.C. Members from both incubators will have the opportunity to use the partner's space on a limited basis, said Mike Brenner, co-founder and CEO of Betamore.
The goal of this partnership, Brenner said, is to connect entrepreneurs with mentors and industry experts to help them grow. The partnership will include joint programming, investor showcases and the increase of networking opportunities for startups across the region.
For more news from the Baltimore Business Journal, check out Ryan McDonald's work.
"We're connecting eco-systems," Brenner said. "We're only 40 minutes apart but there's not a lot of tangible bridges between our communities."
The partnership will also allow Betamore to join a global network of startup hubs called the Startup Federation, which was started by 1776.
The arrangement comes as cyber security startups sprout throughout Baltimore and D.C. Both Betamore and 1776 house cyber firms.
Brenner didn't say how long the partnership would last.
"The entire D.C., Maryland and Virginia region is awash with talent and partnering with Betamore will allow members from the entire region to tap into that talent," said Donna Harris, co-founder of 1776, in a statement.

Cicero, NY – It may be a week before authorities will have all the answers to an accident about 11:15 p.m. Saturday involving a Cicero police car and another vehicle, Cicero Police Chief Joseph Snell said.
Three children were taken to Upstate University Hospital after the crash at East Circle Drive and Hogan Drive, Cicero, but Snell said he believed all had been treated and released. Neither Cicero Officer Dan Leneker, the driver of the police car, nor the driver of the other vehicle were hurt, Snell said.
Snell, reached at home, did not have the name of the other driver nor the make of that driver's vehicle.
Leneker said he was on East Circle Drive, responding to a burglary-in-progress call with his lights and siren on, when his cruiser collided with the other vehicle, which was traveling north on Hogan Drive, Snell said. It appeared that Leneker's car struck the other vehicle, he said.
The Onondaga County Sheriff's Accident Investigation Team is conducting the investigation. It may take a week for its report to be available to him, Snell said.

Writer: Adapted by Russell Barr, Ian Redford & Max Stafford-Clark
Director: Max Stafford-Clark
Reviewer: Oliver Devoti[rating:3.5]
After a few minutes of sitting in Traverse 2, a wide but intimate thrust stage, looking at a simple set consisting of a table and two chairs, the Director, Max Stafford-Clark, enters the stage to announce that one of the main actors (Russell Barr) playing eight parts including Samuel Johnson's Biographer, James Boswell, has been taken ill. His parts were to be divided between two actors with scripts in hand, Andrew Byatt was to play James Boswell and David Beames to play the others. This was no doubt a disappointment, but such was the generosity of the atmosphere that it was treated as an event in itself, after all, it is the Edinburgh Fringe.
The first action of the play; Samuel "Dictionary" Johnson (Ian Redford) cumbersomely shuffles to the table before slamming a down a large book, creating a cloud of dust which sets the scene of his drawing room filled with literature, to which we the audience are invited, beautifully. Redford's gentle and charming energy, charged with wit, invites you into this evening of stories, conversations and accounts of Dr. Johnson's life. Within this comfortable atmosphere there are flashes of a darker, more desperate side to Samuel Johnson when he talks about his "need for company".
The standing in Andrew Byatt delivers the story of an execution with power, even with a script in hand he relays this account chillingly. David Beames presents some nice characterisations as Mrs Williams the tea lady and Joshua Reynolds to keep the piece moving smoothly in these difficult circumstances. A valiant job done by both actors, but it was crying out for a rehearsed actor to truly engage with the audience and the other player, something that became even more evident in the scene between Samuel Johnson and Hester Thrale (Trudie Styler). Redford and Thrale's slick interchange didn't allow the ball to drop once and made you feel 'if only'. However this is a charming piece and I'm sure it would be a 4/4.5 star show with the complete, rehearsed cast (including the dog Katie as Hodge the cat). I would recommend seeing it, even just to see Ian Redford expertly crafting the audiences attention.

Scoop was delayed a day by breaking news, but here we are.
Will tropical weather ruin our Fourth? Let's hope not.
The search is on for the next Salem County Fair Queen. The contest is open to young woman who will be 16, 17 or 18 years old before Aug. 1. Requirements are that the contestants be residents of Salem County and have completed one year's requirements as a member of 4-H, FFA, Grange or the Girl Scouts. The contest will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 5, during the fair in Pilesgrove. The queen will be awarded a scholarship check, tiara, trophy and flowers and will represent the Salem County Fair Association at many local events and parades. Applications must be received by the fair queen committee by July 25 and can be downloaded from the fair's website at www.salemcountyfair.com website.
Great turnout at the annual Arc of Salem County Appreciation Dinner at the Salem County Fraternal Order of Police in Pennsville last week. All of those who have contributed so much over the past year to The ARC, especially the recent walk, were honored.
Heat making crops jump in fields and in our gardens.
Speaking of gardens, first tomatoes are in along with cucumbers, beans and lots of other goodies. Folks are still enjoying peas which came in late this year. We've seen some yellow snow peas again this year — yes, yellow. See our picture with this post.
While the search was still on for video beating suspect Latia Harris, one Salem official turned down an interview opportunity with CNN, opting to take part in an annual event with local kids instead.
Community events happening in downtown Salem and folks forget to tell the Times? Guess they don't need folks to know or show up.
The Woodstown Rotary Foundation and Rotary Club of Woodstown will continue their popular Summer of the Bands Concert Series in Marlton Park, Woodstown, beginning Thursday, July 10. The 7 p.m. concert that night will feature the Salem American Legion Band. Bring a chair or blanket for seating. More concerts will follow this summer. The concerts are free, but donations are appreciated!
The Salem Fire Museum will he open to the public on Saturday, July 5, keeping with its normal schedule of openings on the first Saturday of each month. Located at 166 East Broadway in Salem, the museum is open 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
If you didn't grow up on a farm, we doubt you can appreciate the smell of freshly combined wheat or the fragrance (guess you could call it that) of a freshly mowed field of alfalfa.Contact the South Jersey Times at 856-935-1500 or 856-451-1000 and email@example.com

SPRINGFIELD – While many residents have signed a petition in opposition to a planned group home for girls in East Forest Park, another resident having experience in the field is asking neighbors to welcome the plans.
The Mental Health Association, based in Springfield, has purchased and is renovating a house at 64 Treetop Ave. to become a group home for four girls, ages, 16 to 22, who are under the care of the state Department of Children and Families.
"As a parent, East Forest Park resident, and someone who's worked in the children's mental health field for several years, I'd like to encourage my neighbors to be welcoming to the proposal " said Nicole Baker, a resident of Roosevelt Avenue. "I beseech my neighbors to open their hearts and minds in order to accept our responsibility to all the members of our community."
The group home plans have triggered a petition signed by approximately 80 people in the surrounding area. The organizer, Paul Edwards, a next-door neighbor on Treetop Avenue, said residents are greatly concerned the group home will disrupt neighborhood tranquility and is taking place with no advance notice.
Baker, in a letter and follow-up interview, said she is an employee in the mental health field in Springfield, including past experience working in group homes, but has not worked for the Mental Health Association.
"These girls have likely been rejected, under-resourced, and neglected and/or abused for much of their lives,' Baker said. "The 'not-in-my-backyard' argument that was made by the residents who are objecting to the proposal is exactly the opposite of what these girls need and what we, as citizens of Springfield, owe them. They need all the resources our community has to offer in order to tilt the scales in the favor of them growing to become contributing members of society."
Baker said the group homes add to the diversity of a neighborhood, and allows people who live in the neighborhood to "share the wealth with those who aren't so fortunate."
Ward 7 City Councilor Timothy Allen said he has met with Allen about the group home concerns.
"I am following up the concerns with both the city and the Mental Health Association," Allen said. "I am particularly concerned about notification of neighbors when these developments take place."
City officials, including City Solicitor Edward Pikula, say the group home is exempt from local zoning regulations, and permitted under state law, known as the Dover Amendment. It is exempted as an educational use, providing independent life skills training to the home residents, without need for a special permit or zone change, officials said.
Joan Ingersoll, executive director of the Mental Health Association, said the group home will be staffed 24 hours a day.
Baker said that she worked in the past on a residential crisis team for group homes. The group home staff and the crisis team act to keep the home residents safe and the neighborhood safe, she said. She estimated she lives a quarter-mile from Treetop Avenue
In addition, Baker said her experience shows that residents have a record of being good members of the community.

The Sony HTSF2000 is an impressive system. It comes at a relatively high price, but the quality and power it delivers are worth the investment.
Sony's HTSF2000 is a 5.1 home theatre system, including five speakers, a subwoofer, and a receiver. With a great volume output and powerful bass, this unit handles action movies excellently, although it also delivers enough balance in the other ranges and customisability to make it suitable for most movies or music thrown at it. Its attractive design and wide range of input and output ports on the receiver make it a great option for those looking for a dedicated and high quality home theatre system.
Audio on the HTSF2000 is of high quality, with a balanced range and clear, well defined sound. The bass is powerful without being overwhelming, and complements a strong mid-range very well, producing thrilling and intense audio during action scenes. Treble is well represented, and remains full and clear up through the very highest ranges. Overall, the entire range blends together quite well, making the HTSF2000 suited to a wide range of material.
The volume capacity of the HTSF2000 is incredible, and we found a comfortable listening level at around 50 per cent, while beyond 75 per cent was almost painfully loud. We didn't go beyond that, but in that range we failed to notice any overt distortion or lack of fidelity. This is certainly a powerful unit, and should easily be capable of projecting music or other audio throughout a medium-sized house.
The included AV receiver, while by no means as advanced as higher-end standalone units, still includes a good range of options. Individual speaker and subwoofer volumes can be tweaked, and a broad range of sound fields and settings is included. The remote is well laid out, and controlling the unit is quite intuitive.
Design is another high point of the HTSF2000, with four of the five speakers on height adjustable stands. The centre speaker is horizontally placed below or above the display, and the black and aluminium surround speakers create a pleasing aesthetic that should suit any living room. The receiver itself is well proportioned, and about the size of a standard DVD player. The back panel is replete with a full range of connection options, including three HDMI inputs and one output, as well as optical, coaxial, and analogue audio.
Overall, the HTSF2000 is a very impressive speaker package. It's definitely a step above entry-level home theatres, and should please those looking for a powerful and well rounded audio system. It does come at a relatively high price, but for those in the market for a good quality pre-packaged home theatre setup, it's definitely worth considering.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Night away, that is.
Why yes, we had a lovely night at the Hyatt on Friday, thanks for asking. Heh. I always say, the first prerequisite for blogging is the ability to crack yourself up. At least I have that part patted down. (My mom used to have a secretary for whom English was a second language and she would often get her American colloquialisms screwed up, which was always a source of amusement for our family. Instead of "down pat" she would say "patted down," and to this day, I can't say that I have something down pat without wanting to say patted down.)
AT ANY RATE, my Mother's Day started early. I believe I mentioned that my husband took Friday off from work so that I could attend my son's Mother's Day Tea and get my nails done for our overnight getaway. I went for bright coral on my toes. Coral in the springtime makes me happy. I opted for a pale neutral tone on my fingernails because that way the chips don't show, which is key in choosing nail color because invariably I manage to chip my nails before my manicure is a day old.
My parents arrived early in the afternoon, so my husband and I took off for the city as soon as we could detangle ourselves from our children. Ha. In reality, they barely noticed that we left. And while I'd prefer that over drama and bedlam, I have to admit I felt a little cheated when they barely looked up from their activities to say good-bye. Not to worry, though; I got over it as soon as we entered the luxurious Park Hyatt Philadelphia at the Bellevue.
We took the elevator right up to the 19th floor, which dumped us out at the XIX Nineteen Cafe with its stunning architecture and domed ceiling. Their famed afternoon tea was laid out and waiting for those fortunate enough to have reservations. Note to self: return for Tea Atop the Bellevue. I've heard about it for years, but now I MUST make it a priority to go sometime.

After checking in, we found our room, which was on the 17th floor. There was sparkling lemonade and these delightful little vanilla cookies waiting for us to devour them. I just LOVE special little touches like that!
Even though it's an older hotel and the room was on the smaller side, everything about it was elegant and well-appointed. Nothing about the decor was the least bit tired or worn. The bed had one of those fabulous fluffy goose down duvets and pillow top mattresses that I had a hard time leaving the next morning. I could have stayed in bed all day.
Even the bathroom was fit for royalty with its marble and gold and fancy shower curtain.
I expected a lovely view but of course we were right downtown Philadelphia and the view was mostly rooftops. Still, after living in a neighborhood surrounded by farms for the last 3 years, it was neat to look out and see city.
(We left our laptops at home, but our Blackberries are never out of reach.)
We attempted a self-portrait before leaving our room but it didn't turn out too well. Have I mentioned my camera needs a doctor? The flash doesn't work so we're forced to take flashless photos. This is the best we could do. And no, I'm not pregnant. And I don't think that dress makes me look pregnant, but the way I'm standing in that picture is far from flattering. How I long to be one of those people who instinctively knows how to stand in photos so they don't look, well, pregnant.
This is when we decided to enjoy the rest of our getaway without worrying about capturing everything on film, or worse yet, looking like tourists. So we made an executive decision to ditch the camera before going out for the evening, which is why the plethora of photos will now cease.
Our dinner reservations weren't until 7:30, so to kill time we decided to venture upstairs to the stylish XIX Nineteen Lounge for cocktails. I had a pineapple mojito that was in a word — YUM. Must. Learn. To. Make. At. Home.
Like true country bumpkins, we managed to get lost after leaving the hotel for our dinner destination. Somehow a walk that should have been a block turned into four. Fortunately I had made a last minute decision to ditch my high heels in lieu of my flat silver sandals, so I survived the unexpected tour of the theater district with nary a blister.
We ate downstairs at the Sotto Varalli of the Upstares & Sotto Varalli Restaurant. I have to say, it was an odd experience. We basically picked the restaurant on a blind Google search because it was close to our hotel and the website looked promising. The food and service was superb, but the atmosphere was what my husband described as Howard Johnson circa 1979. For one thing, it smelled like a stuffy old hotel, and the decor was incredibly dated. Oddly enough, it didn't look worn so I have to believe it was intentional — like they were going for some sort of retro flair. I wish I'd done more reading about it before we went because I would have made our reservations at the Upstares part of their restaurant where the view appears to be spectacular.

Fortunately the food was quite modern in presentation and composition, and it was remarkably fresh. We shared a generous plate of 4 varieties of Bruchetta and a salad, and then I had a crab cake from the appetizer menu as my entree. It was just the way I like them, with very little filler and huge chunks of fresh jumbo lump crab meat. It was served on top of a bed of peppery arugula and a corn salsa — DIVINE. I would order it again in a heartbeat. For dessert, my husband ordered the Tiramisu, and I ordered a second fork so I could snag a few bites when he wasn't looking. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, with the exception of the kids calling right when we received our main course. Which just goes to show, you can leave the kids behind but they will somehow manage to haunt you at the worst possible moment.
Of course, I would have been happy at McDonalds as long as I didn't have to open a Happy Meal toy or spend half the time with a small child in the bathroom. That, in and of itself, made the dining experience a novelty in my book.
I realize I need to wrap this up for the three of you who are still reading. I know if you want people to read your posts, you should keep them short and skimmable. Unfortunately brief is not my strong suit so for those of you still with me, bless your hearts. I still want to tell you about our Saturday but I'll save that for another day.
Finally, allow me to give a big muchas gracias to Hyatt's The Big Welcome promotion, which provided us (and my five lucky giveaway winners) with a free night at the Hyatt.

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Caje Love these boxes I love these boxes. They are very sturdy, look great, comes in a lot of patterns and colors. Easy to hang files in them and the lid closes nicely. I'm not a fan of the metal overhang tag area but I just turn the box around so I can't see it. May 9, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by WillieG Cheap, cheap, cheap Since the Bristol line was no longer available, I took a chance on these and bought them online. Big mistake. These are are pieces of thin cardboard with inexpensive fabric wrapped around them. Luckily, the pick-up store had the Bristol line in stock! I didn't even take these out of the store. I immediately returned them and purchased the more expensive but infinitely better quality Bristol counterparts. December 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CatLover2012 GREAT BOXES IN TEAL, GREEN AND KHAKI COMBO!! These DESKTOP FILE boxes have been used in my renovated home office and like all the other products available in the Stockholm / Bigso line, they are great! I am STILL trying to get another (KHAKI) tray I need to add to the blue teal and green on my husband's desk, and they must be out of them, unfortunately. Therefore, I may to get the tray in green or blue, or my use one of my 3 colored boxes. All the boxes and trays ordered are so colorful and sturdy. LOVE THEM! December 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by OrganizedSchoolMom So happy with this purchase! I am a homeschooling mother of 5 and I was looking for a desktop file to put on our cabinets in the dining area (which also doubles as our school room). I wanted it to be durable, yet look nice as well. It's perfect. I can file papers that we'll need on a regular basis so they're right at my finger tips and it looks great with my decor! April 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mari1960 Love this item! Very sturdy and functional. They can be right out on my desktop for easy access while looking fantastic! Yes, "form" follows "function", but right on it's heels. :) April 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by spumoni Lovely & Functional It's awsome to be organized AND stylish! I have a file for different categories...and even keep my son's art/homework that I want to save in one. February 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by homebody perfect solution I love the color of the file. I wish they had included some blank labels. I am going to order 2 more. July 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by OrganizedInteriors PERFECT for leaving out on the desk I love these. My mom has three of them in her office, and I just purchased two for mine. I love that they have plenty of room for files and still look cute out on a desk or credenza. They are nice and sturdy too. The ONLY thing that I've seen as a con for these is that the fabric can get worn if you let it rub up against another file box. April 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MsOrganizerFreak <3 I was looking for an alternate to a file cabinet and this desktop file is prefect! Plus, I love the colors! February 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Omom Nice looking desk top file This is a sturdy, attractive way to deal with desktop paper. It's made of recycled materials and the colors are great. September 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by krfd Spacious and Simple Desktop File I got this desktop file to organize documents I'm currently shuffling and/or referring to. I chose it for its simple, clean look, and the slate color matches the external hard drive, printer, and desk lamp I have nearby. As the product description says, it takes hanging letter size files. I was aware of its dimensions before buying it, but its spaciousness still impressed me when I opened it. I plan on buying another one to match once this fills up, as well as other products in this same line. August 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Skeptic Nice desktop file Needed something not too large just to put away "everyday" paperwork items. Already had the file folders, hanging files, etc., and I believe this will fit my needs. February 20, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SarahGC Attractive & Functional I bought four of these and totally love them. The colors are great, and they fit on a bookshelf really well. We use them to organize random stuff we want to keep handy in the living room. I like the fabric texture a lot, as well. February 16, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Norma Functional, but glad its not on my desk. I was a bit disappointed with the look of these, but they are great for the price. Definitely well made and very, very functional. April 19, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5Â by dcreviewer Durable, easy to organize, would purchase again The only thing that kept these great file holders from a 5 star rating was the high price tag - $24.99 each. Great boxes, however, for home storage that doesn't look like a business office. March 3, 2010
