Greg Van Avermaet, the BMC Racing Team's designated leader for Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, had to chase back from two crashes Sunday, sapping his strength for the bunch sprint finish.
Outside The Top 10
Van Avermaet crashed on the approach to the Kwaremont, then again on the finishing circuit in Kuurne. "With those two crashes and the big chase he made, he didn't have the legs," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said. "Basically, it was bad luck today." Simon Zahner also crashed but was not seriously hurt, Lelangue said. Christopher Sutton (Sky) took the win.
Classica Sarda Sassari-Cagliari
Chiaramonti, Italy – Brent Bookwalter and Chad Beyer were part of a group of 22 riders that escaped the peloton in the first 15 km, then splintered near the finish. "I had good legs but I wasn't smart at the end," Beyer said. "I tried to follow Daniel Oss when he bridged to the front group, but he just had more power." Ivan Santaromita crashed and needed stitches on his chin, but was not seriously hurt. Pavel Brutt (Katusha Team) took the win.

At the time, Kennedy was a member of the U.S. Senate campaigning for the presidency. Following his election, he signed an executive order establishing the ...

In planning ahead for upcoming hikes, I had thought about riding my bike to the trailheads on some of the roads that are closed for winter since there still isn't much snow. Would this be considered cheating though when it comes to qualifying for completing the 4000 footers? I would be hiking the same trails, just parking the bike at the trailhead. I looked to see what the rules are about this. The rules seem to speak more to logging roads than driving roads, but here they are:
The increased popularity of mountain bikes makes it necessary to come up with some sort of policy. Please remember that this is a club for hikers; not that we object to trail bikes per se, but we want to preserve the tradition of climbing on foot, not on bikes. In winter we have absolutely forbidden the use of snowmobiles, even when a road is passable to ordinary cars in summer. However, a similar policy on trail bikes seems a bit excessive. Therefore we suggest that we all attempt to live by the following standard:
It is acceptable to use bikes on logging roads that are:
- not part of an officially maintained trail and
- legally open to the general public for car/truck travel on the day of the trip and
- fairly easily passable to an average four-wheel-drive vehicle (not an ATV) without "heroic measures" such as winches. (If you think a jeep might not make it, then please walk.)
The second point is what is making me think the most. The road wouldn't technically be open on that day, but most of the year it is. The rules do point out that you can ride to a trailhead instead of driving your car. What does everyone else think?

It seems like everyone in Blogland has a turkey craft going on this week. We are no exception! :) Anyways, before making our paper plate turkey we read some cute turkey books.
To make our paper plate turkey I started by using a craft knife to cut a triangle in the paper plate for a beak.
Then we painted the beak yellow, the face brown, and used a variety of colors to paint feathers around the plate.
When our paint was completely dry, we glued on 2 white circles with googly eyes for the eyeballs and a waddle that I cut out of a red foam sheet.
They turned out so cute! I just love seeing the different colors my boys each chose to decorate their turkey with. And of course I made one too! :)

More stores coming to Wallace Commons?
SALISBURY — More stores could be headed to Wallace Commons at Interstate 85 on Klumac Road, where the new Belk is under construction.
A developer interested in building on a vacant outparcel next to Long Horn Steakhouse has talked to the city about plans for a retail store and medical office, according to the city's zoning administrator, David Phillips.
No plans have been submitted to the city's One Stop Development Shop yet, but talks between staff and the developer have included discussion of an 8,000-square-foot building that would house both retail and medical, Phillips said.
An online flyer advertising Wallace Commons shows not only the proposed retail-medical building but also a fast food restaurant on another vacant outparcel near Long Horn.
The website for Providence Group, the Charlotte real estate firm that manages Wallace Commons, includes the flyer.
Victor Wallace, whose family co-owns Wallace Commons but does not handle leasing, said he could not comment on the proposed development. Co-owner Collett and Associates of Charlotte oversees leasing at the development, and no one from Collett returned calls from the Post.
The Hutton Company, a developer based in Tennessee, is building the 75,000-square-foot Belk department store, as well as a new Michael's Crafts, Ulta Beauty and Shoe Carnival connecting to the existing Kohl's. The expansion is expected to open this fall.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Rounding out our suite of wedding paper products, the program may have been my favorite. Like the other products in this suite, it was of high paper and print quality. We had several design requests which were easily adopted by the design reviewer. The turn around on the design changes was a matter of hours. Printing and delivery was faster than estimated."
"Wanting a program that looked like it was bordered in gold, I called WPD and a staffer went through all the designs and sent me many samples to choose from. I ended up selecting a color that was not on the custom color card, but was used in one of their designs. It come out exactly how I wanted it to. Design wise, a staffer took the time to take this design and give me other design choices- one of which I loved. I made numerous changes along the way and he responded immediately. Couldn't have had a better experience."
"Exactly as expected. Especially love the way this company treats it's customers - there is an online chat available for any questions/concerns. You can also expect a handwritten thank you note in the mail! Seriously - what company goes out of their way like that anymore? Keep up the great work."
"We used these as menu AND program cards cos we could easily fit the menu on the other page and the program on the other. I got help designing these with the designer and got the flowers in the corners with our wedding colors orange and purple. Paper quality was pearl shimmer and it was amazing!"
"I was very pleased with the programs I had made. They came in very quickly and exactly as I had hoped. Beautiful color selections and I know they will help enhance our special day."

One of Rowan's most wanted found in Myrtle Beach
SALISBURY — A Salisbury man wanted in connection with the theft of dozens of catalytic converters has been found in Myrtle Beach.
On Thursday, detectives with the Rowan County Sheriff's Office received information that Trenton "TJ" Weast Jr., 21, of Ellen Street, may have fled to Myrtle Beach.
Rowan investigators made contact with Myrtle Beach authorities, and Weast was located and arrested and is now awaiting his return to Rowan County.
Weast had been placed on the Sheriff's Most Wanted List on Wednesday.
Authorities say he is connected to the removal of dozens of catalytic converters in February from the East Rowan YMCA and several churches in the Crescent Road area.
He has also been tied to a group of Rowan residents charged for their involvement in multiple vehicle and home break-ins spanning from December to January.
Officials have also placed Christopher Dontrell Moore, 21, on its most wanted list.
Authorities say Moore and his friend Holden O'Brien took tires and tire mounts from a Peeler Road property in late February. O'Brien has since been arrested and released.
A Concord man who was charged for a December break-in at Pearl's Pawn and Gun Shop has also been tied to the theft ring.
Not all of the suspects acted together in all of the crimes, officials said.
The warrants on Weast are for felony breaking and entering, larceny and felony chop shop activity by theft for the cutting and removal of the catalytic converters.
Weast also is wanted for his involvement in the larceny of an air conditioning unit.
The investigation into the theft ring continues.
Investigators are asking anyone with more information about these crimes is asked to contact the Rowan Country Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at 704-216-8687.

Below are some inspiring stories of survivors who took what they went through with cancer and turned it into something positive.

Gary Johnson
A continuing adventure
When Gary Johnson went in for surgery to remove a cancerous prostate, doctors discovered that the cancer had already spread to his lymph nodes. Now he's on a treatment that is designed to hold the cancer cells in check for as long as possible. "Since there's no cure for my cancer, my challenge is to live as long and as well as I can," says Gary.
Unwilling to sit back and worry, he and his wife Marlys focus on being proactive in facing down the disease. They have gathered a team of medical professionals, family, friends, and other cancer survivors as a support system. Gary has also changed his lifestyle—he's getting more exercise, getting better nutrition, and finding ways to manage his stress.
is to live as long
and as well as I can.
Gary's cancer diagnosis completely changed the priorities in his life. He's now focused on family, faith, and the outdoors. He and Marlys established the 501(c)(3) non-profit Cancer Adventures, and travel across the United States, telling their story to cancer survivors, students, and health professionals.
"Not knowing what the future holds is the hardest part," Gary said recently. "The three things getting me through every day are my faith, my wife, and having this purpose to help others. Having a purpose has turned a negative into a positive."

Kelly Turner
Helping others get help
Kelly Turner, a New Haven, Connecticut, police officer, found a golf ball-sized lump in her breast when she was 36 years old. It turned out to be stage 3 breast cancer.
In July of 2001, Kelly began 4 months of aggressive chemotherapy. She had a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery the following January, then radiation therapy 6 months later.
The entire time, Kelly's close friends gave her a tremendous amount of emotional support and helped her through medical appointments and treatments. Her coworkers and church family collected money, and also organized a motorcycle ride and a hockey game to raise funds that could help with her expenses. Kelly coped with the uncertainty of it all with the help of her loved ones, with prayer, and with spiritual music and talks.
so I could do what
I'm doing now.
On January 1, 2003, after missing 18 months of work, Kelly returned to the police force. Encouraged by the outpouring of emotional and financial support she had received from her friends and coworkers, Kelly decided to help other people the way she had been helped: she formed The Chain Fund, an organization that provides financial assistance to cancer patients and their families. Even though she's helping others through the project, the project is helping her, too, by giving her hope and strength. As she puts it, "I love to be a blessing to others! I enjoy making someone else's life better—even if it's just for a moment in time."
Today, Kelly is cancer free. The Chain Fund has grown to address various emotional and physical needs for cancer patients and families, while continuing its financial focus. Kelly describes herself as shy, but she tirelessly solicits donations and grants for The Chain Fund, holds events and fundraisers, and always thinks of ways she can help others.
Kelly believes cancer changed her as a person. Although she would never want to go through the traumatic and difficult time again, she sees the positive result from it. "I don't think I went through that whole cancer experience to not do anything," she says. "I believe I went through it so I could do what I'm doing now."

Mark Ciccarelli
Connecting people to people
Mark Ciccarelli was diagnosed with Hodgkin disease when he was 9 years old and just about to enter the fourth grade. He did his best to pretend it wasn't that bad, forcing a smile and imagining a time when he'd be cancer free.
Mark missed a lot of school that year, because of the chemotherapy and then the radiation. But he took part in as many activities as he could. There were times when he'd go outside and play kickball hooked up to a catheter in his chest—partly to feel like a normal kid again and partly to reassure his family and friends that he was alright.
Now Mark is 26 years old and cancer free, and he works as a financial advisor. He recalls that when he was going through cancer treatment as a kid, although he couldn't know all the specifics of his cancer, he did know that he had to endure and find strength in every way possible.
Today he credits his support system in helping him do that.
than being able
to help others.
"I looked at cancer as a team sport; on my own I would never win, but if I opened up to the positivity of others around me, I knew I would have a fighting chance," he says. "While every day brought on new challenges, both mentally and physically, I always felt love and support from my family, friends, and classmates. Those were the key factors that helped me get through my cancer diagnosis."
Mark also realized how helpful it was to connect with someone who was having a similar experience. "It gives you a lot more strength to talk to someone who understands what you're going through firsthand," he says. "As a 9 year old with hair falling out and constant nausea from medication, I had a really hard time understanding why I was sick. It caused me to be quite shy. I finally felt better when a family friend who had cancer sat me down and spoke to me about our shared experiences. Then I didn't feel like I was the only one."
Mark now helps other cancer survivors make these kinds of helpful connections through Conquer Together, an interactive Web site that he created. The site allows cancer survivors, family members, and caregivers from around the world to share their experiences, reasons for hope, and other messages of encouragement. The site has hundreds of members and gets thousands of hits a day.
"I understand that I'm very fortunate to be here doing what I'm doing," Mark says. "There's nothing better than being able to help others."

Byron Dudley
A calendar of hope
In 1995, Byron Dudley decided to retire early from his 30-year career in education and devote full attention to his love of photography. He was interrupted when he found a malignant tumor in his armpit, which turned out to be a recurrence of a melanoma from a few years earlier. After having the tumor removed, Byron went through a long and difficult year of taking Intron A, a drug which caused him to be very sick.
The treatments left Byron sick and depressed. "Others may care, but they don't really understand what it's like to battle cancer and how awful that battle can be, even if you end up winning it," he says.
Byron turned to his wife, Nancy, and golden retriever, McKenzie, to keep him company on his journey to recovery. With all the physical and emotional side effects taking their toll, he tried to focus on taking things moment by moment, one day at a time.
After the doctors declared him cancer free, Byron came up with the idea to produce a 2008 Calendar of Hope for a medical center in Oregon. The calendar featured his landscape photos, along with some of the thoughts he had recorded in his journal as he went through cancer treatment. Byron's intention with this gift was to renew hope and inspire others who have been touched by the disease, because, he says, "hope is essential in the will to live."
is just another
The calendar was very well received, and it was distributed by the medical center to 2,500 people battling cancer throughout central and western Oregon.
Byron now believes that life is good, and he feels that he's very fortunate. "At my best, I am a more patient person, patient with myself and with others," he says. "Now that I'm 73 years old, every day is just another blessing. I'm learning to become a fly fisherman. I'm still planting trees. I'm looking forward to tomorrow!"

Minnie Hines-Chen
Living and loving every day
"Women your age don't get breast cancer," someone told Minnie Hines-Chen when she found a lump in her breast during her first year of college. But at the end of her second year, she was diagnosed with the disease. And just a few weeks later, she was accepted into nursing school.
Determined not to waste energy on anger, fear, or resentment, Minnie chose to have a bilateral mastectomy and an intense chemotherapy regimen so she could get back on track with schooling as soon as possible. "There was only room for one enemy in this battle," she says, "and I knew I needed all my strength to conquer it."
"Being only 20 years old, all the breast cancer survivors I met were older. But it was nice," she says, "because I had strong ladies to look up to, and our shared experience opened up doors and relationships that I never knew existed."
Minnie also had good friends keeping her busy, and her strong will helped her mom keep the faith that her daughter would make it through.
and that's what
matters most.
As soon as she was able, Minnie began telling her story and educating others about her experience. She began speaking at conferences and became a Reach to Recovery volunteer to encourage newly diagnosed patients.
Minnie says that she still deals with the stigma associated with cancer. "So many people are uneducated about the disease and the wonderful people who are fighting it every day," she says. "I'm glad I can bring wisdom to those around me. I still have scars from my chemo port, mastectomy, and reconstruction. But I'm here and able, and that's what matters most."
Minnie reached her goal of becoming a nurse and always keeps her positive attitude, despite the long-term effects of her cancer treatment. "I have to take tamoxifen daily, get monthly injections, and am in artificial menopause," she explains. "I can't have children, which puts a damper on my dreams. But until I learn what God has planned for me, I will keep serving others with compassion, laughing with my friends and family, and living for this moment every day."

Staci Wright
Helping kids regain their self image
Staci Wright was in the eighth grade when she began having terrible headaches. The 13-year-old girl had been healthy, happy, and active all her life, playing soccer since kindergarten. But life changed overnight when she was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a type of bone cancer, in her skull.
The treatment was 10 months of chemotherapy, along with 5 weeks of radiation. "For me, the hardest part of the cancer battle was that my pain was hurting my whole family," she recalls. "It put so much stress on my parents and older brother. Luckily my sister was too young to really realize what was going on."
During it all, she tried to stay positive and upbeat, doing her best to live life as a normal kid. The support of her family and friends helped her get through many painful times during the year. But even so, there were days when she felt overwhelmed.
"Sometimes it felt like I was all by myself in this battle," she says. "I realized others couldn't fathom what I was going through, and so there were times when I just wanted to be left alone."
Hair loss from chemotherapy isn't easy for any patient. But for a teenage girl, it can be devastating. Staci felt sad and depressed with losing her hair and didn't want to go to school. "I had a really hard time with my hair loss. But there was nothing I could do about it except move on to more important things, like surviving," she says. Unfortunately Katie's radiation killed all the hair cells on a patch of skin on the back of her head, causing her hair loss to be permanent.
Fortunately her mother, Debbie, learned of a hair system that stays in place, made of real hair attached to material that looks like a scalp. Staci loved her new hair but was concerned about the other kids she met at the children's hospital who were still dealing with baldness. "It's tough for people my age to lose their hair," she says. "They lose their self-esteem with it."
that can't be
taken for granted.
That's when Staci and Debbie decided to do something to help these kids. They established the Angel Hair Foundation, a non-profit organization that purchases hair systems for kids and teens. Through hard work and getting the word out, the foundation is thriving and helping kids with cancer everywhere feel better about losing their hair.
Staci is now doing well, playing soccer, hanging out with her friends, and attending the University of Oregon. She believes she'll always have insecurities about her permanent hair loss but trusts that she'll know how to deal with them when they arise. She's excited about what life has to bring to her and plans to become a dietician. More important, she knows that true friends will love her no matter what her hair looks like.
"To me, life is something that can't be taken for granted. I can't be that little shy girl that doesn't push the limit every once in a while," she says. "I often think about how cancer affected my life, about how I developed as a person through this experience. Cancer made me realize what is important in life and made me the more mature person I am today. Carpé diem!"

Gary Bonacker
Biking for life
"I love life and do everything I can to live each day better than the day before. I know I sound like a greeting card," Gary Bonacker says, "but it's a good way to live."
In the spring of 2003, Gary was diagnosed with a stage 2 brain tumor. But just 10 months after surgery that removed only half of the tumor, Gary rode alongside Lance Armstrong at the Ride for the Roses cycling event in Austin, Texas.
"It was something I'll remember for the rest of my life," Gary says. It inspired him to go home to Bend, Oregon, and start his own cycling event to raise money for cancer. The Tour des Chutes has grown from 750 riders in 2005 to over 1,100 riders for the 2010 ride. The money raised during the event helps fund the cancer survivorship program at St. Charles Cancer Center, which provides medical care for many of the cancer patients in Bend and other nearby communities.
The years since have not been easy. Gary was diagnosed with his brain tumor in 2003, and he still battles it every day. He requires ongoing treatment to slow the growth of the tumor and is on anti-seizure medicines. With fatigue and multiple health problems, he has had to limit his work a great deal.
I should live it.
"There's not a day that I don't go into a dark place, thinking about things I might miss," he says. "But my family, workplace, and friends, and my event help me through it. My other coping strategy is to read about research and learn everything that I can about my disease. I've surprised doctors with information they weren't even aware of.
"I have heard people with cancer say it is a gift," he jokes. "Well, I would take that gift back, if possible."
Gary continues to do his best and move on with his life. Besides planning his annual fundraiser, he says that spending time with his family, gardening, and fishing are his best coping strategies. And, of course, cycling.
"What's sad is that it took getting cancer to make me look at my life and how I should live it," Gary says. "We take a lot for granted. But I don't any longer."

Katie Strumpf
Sharing her stories
When Katie Strumpf was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 10, her parents were wise enough to look at the different protocols of the clinical trial she had joined. After examining their options, they insisted Katie be placed into a group where the treatment wouldn't affect her fine motor skills. Now she is healthy and 31 years old and grateful for all the research they did. She remembers the experience clearly.
"I followed my parents' lead, in that I tried to be positive and understand my treatment," she says. "One of my coping strategies was to remind myself that, although cancer was forcing me to grow up a lot faster than I wanted to, going through the treatment would give me the opportunity to grow up and at some point, just get to be a kid."
Members of Katie's family came from near and far to support her. They brought her favorite foods and games to help her feel normal.
The hardest part was missing a lot of school, she recalls, and not getting the opportunity to feel like a regular kid. Spending so much time in the hospital took a toll on her, too. And getting sick from chemotherapy was exhausting, especially at such a young age.
During treatment, Katie told her parents that someday she would write a book for children with cancer. Sure enough, after graduating from college, she wrote I Never Signed Up For This! An Upfront Guide to Dealing with Cancer at a Young Age,an easy-to-read book for kids with cancer.
Today, Katie's life is still very much focused on cancer issues, particularly the fight against pediatric cancer. She gives public readings of her book and for a while worked at a nonprofit organization that helps seriously ill children and their families. Unfortunately, she lost her husband, Adam, to a brain tumor last summer, so she is sharing her thoughts about surviving as a young widow on her blog, Sleepless in the South. She plans to write a book about their experience and the impact of losing a spouse to cancer at such a young age.
On the last page of her first book, Katie summed up her current view of life in this way:
I know you probably think I am crazy, but having cancer made me fully appreciate life. I go after what I want in life and believe I am a stronger and better person. Of course there are times when my life is uncertain and I am unsure of my path. When I'm hesitant to take that next step, I look over my shoulder and she's always there. That young bald girl with cancer dares me to give up, to not take that next step . So I put on some red lipstick, toss my hair over my shoulder, and take that next step. I owe it to myself, and the cancer survivor that I am."

Ben Moon
The picture of balance
Ben Moon, then a 29-year-old rock climber, surfer, and adventure photographer, assumed that the blood in his stool and his ongoing fatigue were due to the rigors of traveling or to a virus he had picked up along the way. Luckily, a wise nurse-practitioner suggested that he get a colonoscopy.
"I was only 29, and a lot of people my age don't get scoped," he says. "The fact that I got sent for a colonoscopy saved my life."
Shortly afterwards, he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. After undergoing radiation all summer and then chemotherapy, Ben had surgery to remove his rectum, leaving him with a colostomy. Eight more rounds of chemotherapy left him exhausted and feeling toxic.
"It was pretty hard emotionally to deal with that kind of a change to my body, especially in my late 20s," he says.
It was difficult for him to deal with the colostomy at first, but Ben researched the procedure and realized he could irrigate daily, having far greater control. He started rock climbing again just weeks after surgery, eager to get outdoors and test his new limits.
"The thing that helped me the most was focusing on one day at a time and not looking too far ahead," he says. "I never let a feeling of defeat creep in; I tried my best to stay positive. Seeing the brave smiles of those who were much older and physically weaker than me in the infusion room was a huge boost."
Ben was lucky to have wonderful friends and family who gave him ongoing support. They encouraged him to keep up his active lifestyle, helped with meals, sent cards and notes, and even held a silent auction to raise money for his medical bills. "They wouldn't let me lie around and feel sorry for myself," he says.
His photography clients were very understanding, too, and made sure he had work to do. With everyone's help, Ben made it through his treatments and got "back up on the wall" with a chemo pump line dangling and a new lease on life.
Now age 36, Ben is working with a company that makes ostomy supplies, helping them improve their products so that people who have the procedure and who are young and active can feel confident with their condition. "I'm very aware of how I treat my body," he says. "I try to practice yoga, climb, surf, and bike often. So I know how important it is to have a sense of control, trusting that you can live your life the way you want to."
In a world where most people aren't comfortable discussing colostomies and the challenges that come with them, Ben encourages questions and welcomes the opportunity to help others through his Web site. "I feel the only residual challenge from the cancer is living with a colostomy, but I haven't let it slow me down," he says.
Surviving cancer has brought Ben closer to his friends and family. He believes this greater connection caused a shift in his photography, too, helping him to capture human emotion more clearly in his subjects. "I feel more focused and driven to improve and grow as an artist," he says. "Cancer helped me appreciate those I love in my life even more, and taught me how to thrive even through the tougher times of life."

Tamika Felder
Survivor and advocate
Diagnosed with cervical cancer at age 25, Tamika Felder had to deal with the stigma of a disease linked to an STD.
"I was surrounded by people who were very supportive and wonderful. But there were also a few people who said cruel things because my cancer was linked to a sexually transmitted virus," she recalls. "That was painful, and those people either ended up being cut out of my life or their place in my life was minimal."
Tamika had to have her cervix and uterus removed, and had chemotherapy and radiation to kill all the cancer cells. To this day, the most difficult part of the experience was realizing she'd never be able to give birth to a child. But financial strain was also an issue, due to all the medical expenses. Before cancer, she had been making a name for herself in the broadcasting industry, but after her diagnosis she was unable to pay her bills. With her career on hold, issues with money, and her social outlets affected, Tamika gave up on life.
"It's so easy to give up," she says. "I remember kissing my mom and my best friend goodbye in the hospital days after my surgery. The pain was unbearable and I just wanted it to be over with. But they wouldn't let me give up. They provided the strength I needed to continue fighting. And eventually, I realized cancer didn't have to be a death sentence."
Tamika made the decision to face the disease head on, and she fought for her life as hard as she could. If she lost her life, she decided, it wouldn't be because she gave up. Today, 10 years after her surgery and treatment, Tamika is once again working in broadcasting, as a television reporter and producer in Washington, D.C.
"I had an amazing support network and knew that I was in good hands with my health care," she says. "So my coping strategies became research and understanding for my disease. The more I learned, the more I was determined to beat it."
life can change in an instant, and that it's up to me to make a difference.
But at the same time, she's thankful to be here every day, aware that tomorrow isn't guaranteed. She started Tamika and Friends, an advocacy organization, to offer financial help to women with cervical cancer and to educate people about the disease. Tamika now reaches women on a national level, getting the word out and giving support.
"Cancer completely changed my life," she says. "Once I finally embraced it and became a cancer advocate, it truly healed me, inside and out. My cancer experience has defined who I am now as a person. I know that tomorrow is truly not promised. That life can change in an instant, and that it's up to me to make a difference."

Matthew Zachary
Composing a support network for young adults
Matthew Zachary started playing piano at age 11. He wanted to be a Hollywood composer and studied music in college. But in 1995, when Matt was a senior, he began losing motor coordination in his left hand and had to give up his musical ambitions. A massive tumor that generally occurs in children under the age of 6 was found in his brain.
Matt had brain surgery and extensive radiation but refused chemotherapy because he wanted to be able to continue to play the piano. One of the drugs he was offered would have caused peripheral neuropathy, a side effect he wasn't willing to endure for the rest of his life. Music was his anchor, and he made every effort to sit down at the piano and play, even if only just for minutes a day.
"In spite of losing the ability to use my left hand, music was a grounding force in a sea of chaos," he says. "It was the only thing I had control over, and it made me happy."
and the belief that I could accomplish anything.
But, once he finished treatment, he felt jaded and angry. There were no support groups or internet resources for people like him, cancer survivors in their 20s. And at the time, the word survivorship didn't really exist within the oncology community. After surgery and treatments, the doctors gave him little guidance or planning for what to do next in life.
"I know all about that isolation and fear. The feeling of, 'What am I going to do for the rest of my life?'" he says. "I had lots of love and support from my friends and family, but I was desperate for peer support from other young adult patients and survivors who could relate to exactly what I was going through."
As timing would have it, after making a career in advertising, Matt recorded a CD of his own compositions to help him heal and put closure to his cancer. Through a series of events, the project evolved into his becoming an advocate and spokesman for young adults with cancer. Now his organization, the I'm Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation, helps people in their 20s and 30s who have the disease get the support and information he felt he didn't have. He is also passionate about calling attention to the lack of clinical research in this population.
"Cancer made me a better person," he explains, "in that it gave me permission to live life to the fullest, the confidence to take risks, and the belief that I could accomplish anything."

Rated 5 out of 5 by TSMITH7 Beautiful color, exceptional comfort The Sally wedges are the most commodore shoe I have ever worn. I love the royal tan color- it is a perfect neutral and goes well with almost everything. I also like that the logo is the same leather color and not gold or silver. ( I would love it if you would bring back the black peep toe sadly whee with the leather logo!) September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mitch My first pair of Tory Burch shoes I love love these shoes! Looked for them in all the stores in town but couldn't find them. So when I saw them online and was able to get them with a discount, I knew I had to order them. I wasn't sure about getting the 7.5 size because I sometimes need an half size up. They fit true to size without any extra room but I think they are prefect. So excited! July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tyw293 Very pleased I have wide feet and usually have to resort to not so cute comfort shoes for work. I took a chance with these shoes and they were comfortable! I was able to wear them all day with just minor rubbing on the outer edges. I think they would run big for most people with normal size feet. June 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DCjourno love Tory mid heel wedges, but are they being cut bigger? love the Tory mid-heel wedges and have had several pairs the last few years: closed toe, open toe, with the gold Tory logo and some with just the leather logo, in the royal tan, black and navy. I have always worn a size 8. But this year the shoes seem to be cut bigger. I am perplexed why more of the reviews aren't saying this. Have sunk a bit of money this spring getting my usual size and then wondering why they are falling off my feet, trying on my old pairs in size 8 that fit fine...... Was at a department store today trying on and the shoe salespeople say Tory cut bigger this year, at least in some of the styles such as the Sally wedge. If this is the case, I wish the brand website would indicate this for some of her previous customers. All to say, I usually wear a size 8M in Tory and most every brand but this year I am wearing a 7.5. (Almost the opposite size advice that used to be given for Tory shoes, which was to go a half size up.) June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HMSVA classic Beautiful and comfortable. I bought these wedges a few weeks ago and I can already see that I will need another pair. They are so versatile and chic. They look terrific with straight leg jeans and I'm sure I will also wear them with dresses this summer. I only wish that they were still available in black. May 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DianeB Great all purpose shoe! Have a pair in black and decided to get brown too since they are so comfortable and versatile. Good for work to play. May 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by akenn1023 Definitely a wardrobe staple This is my 4th pair of Sally wedges. I have black, navy, snakeskin and now finally the tan. These shoes are perfect for all types of occasions. I wear mine to work with dresses and pants during the week and with jeans on the weekend. I especially appreciate the leather colored TB logo on the toe rather than the gold or silver metal one. I think that it makes them more versatile. Tory Burch designers please make these shoes in more colors, like maybe a red or even a more royal blue. They run pretty true to size. I am usually a 6 1/2 or a 7 in most other shoes and I am a 7 in these. They are a little snug at first but after a wear or so they give just enough. The heel is the perfect in between height for those of us who are a little on the shorter side. I am 5.4 and hate wearing flats so this is my go to shoe instead. Great product!! May 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chalene Most Comfortable and Stylish Shoes I love these shoes! I have boney feet and therefore shoes are a nightmare for me, I can only wear shoes with soft leather to avoid blisters. I was nervous the first day I wore these shoes that I'd come home with some soreness or blisters, but that was not the case at all, I wore them again the next day with no problems. The bottoms are padded with rubber so you can walk in them all day without your feet getting tired or sore. Not to mention they are adorable and so stylish, great for work or social events. They look adorable with long pants, skinny pants, and skirts. I typically don't like spending too much money on shoes because they always hurt my feet, but these are my second pair of Tory's and both are fantastic. Tory is definitely my go to from now on! I normally wear a size 8.5, rarely a 9, in these I needed the 9. March 26, 2014

"If you think you can take 1949 law and apply it in 2012 without some issues, then you haven't thought very carefully about how agriculture has changed over the last several decades," Brown said.
The cost of a farm bill looking ahead is a concern for Brown. If a short-term extension is passed and the farm bill is reopened in 2013, it will start with a new budget developed by the Congressional Budget Office.
"When I look at what I expect to see there, it is probably less money in the baseline," Brown said. "We're already talking about needing to make cuts. The cuts could seem much deeper because of a different baseline. So this notion that we could extend current law, roll into 2013 and pick up where we left off may not hold if the new baseline against which we're going to measure things has changed a lot."

Microsoft Xbox One ( without Kinect)
The cheaper, no-Kinect version of the Xbox One gives buyers a better deal by eliminating the one part of the console they probably didn't want to begin with -- but the PS4 remains a compelling alternative.
Sony BDP-S3200
The Sony BDP-S3200 will play your Blu-rays just fine but it doesn't do enough to embrace streaming media like its competitors.
The LG BP530 has built-in Wi-Fi and a good selection of apps, but there are just enough quirks to keep it from being a top Blu-ray player pick.
Samsung BD-F5900
The Samsung BD-F5900 is an excellent Blu-ray player with the right mix of usability, performance, and speed.
Sony PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4's beautiful graphics, blazing interface, near-perfect controller, and lower price give it a slight edge on the Xbox One -- for now.
Sony BDP-S5100
The Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray player offers a wealth of services and very good image quality for the money.
Panasonic DMP-BDT230
The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is a mostly solid Blu-ray player, except it serves up obnoxious ads in its onscreen interface.
Sony BDP-S590
The Sony BDP-S590 is a great-looking Blu-ray player with built-in Wi-Fi, 3D compatibility, and tons of streaming-media apps, but it's slow to load discs and has some user interface quirks.
Panasonic DMP-BDT220
The Panasonic DMP-BDT220 is the best Blu-ray value of 2012, with built-in Wi-Fi, tons of streaming-media apps, 3D compatibility, and a simple user interface.
If you want 3D, the LG BP620 has most of the right features, but the absence of Amazon Instant and a dedicated Netflix button hurt its value a bit.

|I'm crazy for this Napa Cabbage and Red Cabbage Salad with Fresh Herbs and Peanuts.

Friday Favorites: Five Favorite Salads with Cabbage
31 comments:
- LadyConcierge said...
I started eating cabbage salads after I tried your one with the spicy cilantro dressing. My sister shared one of her favorite recipes with me recently. She calls it her "red" salad: red cabbage, beets and pistachios, dressed simply with olive oil and lemon juice. So good! I've been eating it for the past 3 days.
- February 25, 2011 at 11:51 AM
- Kalyn said...
I love the sound of that, and especially the addition of pistachios!
- February 25, 2011 at 11:59 AM
- Healthy Mamma said...
These sound so good! I love the variations and can't wait to try them. I usually just do the Asian flavor w napa cabbage, so this is exciting! thx for sharing!
- February 25, 2011 at 12:57 PM
- Margot said...
I must try this last one, sounds intriguing :)
- February 25, 2011 at 2:23 PM
- Kalyn said...
Margot, I loved it! (Especially the use of celery leaves in the salad.)
- February 25, 2011 at 2:30 PM
- Pam said...
They all sound good, especially the spicy version. We love cabbage and I'll try it.
- February 25, 2011 at 2:34 PM
- Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) said...
Whenever I read "cilantro", I automatically substitute something else (parsley, mint, basil), and I love that these salads are so varied and flexible that they'll be delicious no matter which herb I use.
- February 25, 2011 at 2:54 PM
- Dani Spies said...
I love raw cabbage in salads.... you just can't get that crunch from any other green! They all look delicious but I have to say, the first one with the peanuts is really calling my name;)
- February 25, 2011 at 3:17 PM
- Kalyn said...
Pam, there's something about spicy+cabbage that just works!
Lydia, I even think of you now when I'm suggesting other options!
Dani, it was so good, hope you try it!
- February 25, 2011 at 3:27 PM
- Debbie B. said...
Beautiful shots!! I want to eat each salad right now :). Very informative and thanks!
- February 25, 2011 at 4:00 PM
- priddycy said...
My favorites are the Spicy Mexican and the Puerto Rican one. Love those. I need to try the one with cilantro and peanuts as it sounds delish!
- February 25, 2011 at 5:17 PM
- Pam said...
Perfect timing. I have a head of cabbage in the fridge that I bought a couple of weeks ago for something, and ended up not using!
- February 25, 2011 at 8:18 PM
- Kalyn said...
Debbie, thanks.
Priddycy, I love both of those!
Pam, good; hope you will try one of them.
- February 25, 2011 at 8:25 PM
- Jeanette said...
Kalyn, these cabbage salads all look delicious! Cabbage is so good for you, and I've found using them in salads are really kid-friendly. I love using cabbage salad as a topping to tacos.
- February 25, 2011 at 8:51 PM
- Ana said...
They are all stunningly beautiful! Which will I try first ... ?
- February 25, 2011 at 10:14 PM
- Paty M said...

- February 26, 2011 at 3:26 AM
- Sandi @the WhistleStop Cafe said...
These look awesome. Springtime is almost here... these look like the perfect recipes!
Another friday's favorite for sure :-)
- February 26, 2011 at 6:52 AM
- Kalyn said...
Thank you Jeanette, Ana, Paty M., and Sandi. I'm smiling to know that other people share my love of cabbage. And love the idea of using it on tacos!
- February 26, 2011 at 7:19 AM
- What's Cookin Stacey?? said...
I love cabbage with a little oil and salt and pepper. Thanks for even more ways to enjoy for raw cabbage!
- February 26, 2011 at 8:33 AM
- Paula said...
personally I love the last one becaused of it`s colourfull :) I need such colourful meals during chilly winter so I`d really like to try your salad :) I don`t like winter at all and now I`m thinking of making some summery salad tomorrow :)
- February 26, 2011 at 9:04 AM
- Farmgirl Susan said...
Cabbage salad lovers unite! Should we call ourselves cabbageheads? ;)
One of the things I love most about your blog is that you post so many great salad recipes. Thanks for the mouthwatering reminder that I've been wanting to make several of these!
- February 26, 2011 at 9:17 AM
- noplainjaneskitchen said...
I'm going to have a difficult time figuring out which of these recipes to make with today's lunch. I love cabbage salads especially this time of year when other "greens" are so expensive...and cabbage is a good value.
- February 26, 2011 at 9:18 AM
- Kalyn said...
Stacey, I'm not sure I've sauteed cabbage like that, but it does sound just delicious!
Paula, I am in complete agreement with you about the dislike of winter!
Susan, cabbageheads it is! (I have always been a salad lover, long before I was a food blogger.)
Jane, I agree; just one more reason to love cabbage.

I made the Spicy Cilantro Peanut Slaw this weekend and served it with lamb sandwiches what a great contrast, the full flavored lamb and the nice fresh slaw. It was a hit. I just finish a bowl of the slaw for lunch. I used the Virginia Peanuts from Costco which I absolutely love. You've got me inspired to try the other recipes I've got cabbage on the shopping list.

I used Virginia peanuts from Costco that I absolutely love. I just finish the last of the slaw for lunch. You've inspired me and now I've got cabbage on my shopping list. I do want to get some napa cabbage this time too.
- February 28, 2011 at 11:15 AM
- Kalyn said...
So glad you liked it!
- February 28, 2011 at 11:19 AM
- Jenny said...
We had this last night and all I can say is... YUMMY! We are not fans of cilantro so I substituted basil.
I added some grilled chicken on top and presto... dinner.
I wish I was your neighbor so you would invite me over for dinner. :-)
- February 28, 2011 at 1:11 PM
- Kalyn said...
Jenny, not sure which one you made, but I'm thinking maybe the top one? The funny thing about you wishing you were my neighbor is that is that my neighbors on both sides just moved (on the same day - I'm trying not to take it personally!)
- February 28, 2011 at 1:26 PM
- Becky at VintageMixer said...
I have two bags of cole slaw from the Food Co-Op in my freezer that I didn't know what to do with and now I do! Thanks for being such a good resource!
- February 28, 2011 at 3:45 PM
- Kalyn said...
Becky, you're welcome and enjoy!
- February 28, 2011 at 4:17 PM
- Kalyn said...
Okay, so I am a bit cuckoo here. Looks like I replied to two comments yesterday but didn't publish the comments. Luckily this morning Blogger "reminded" me that the comments were still there by showing them on my dashboard. Never thought I would like the way Blogger inserts the comment at the time it came in, but this time I do!

Miller Canfield scholarship helps provide free classes for elected officials at UM-Dearborn's Institute for Local Government
October 29, 2009
DEARBORN / Oct. 29, 2009---The Institute for Local Government at the University of Michigan-Dearborn will be able to provide broader educational programs to civic leaders thanks to a $1,000 gift from Miller Canfield, the international law firm based in Detroit.
These scholarships will enable more elected officials whose budgets are so strapped to take advantage of our learning opportunities at no cost to them, according to Dale Thomson, assistant professor of political science and director of UM-Dearborns Institute for Local Government (IFLG).
Miller Canfield, known for its public finance work in the Midwest and representing many Michigan governments, has been a longtime supporter of the IFLG. Some of the firms public finance lawyers sit on the IFLG advisory board and continue to lead classes and workshops.
Michigan governments at all levels are facing unprecedented economic hurdles, so its more important than ever to collaborate with peers and discuss challenges and opportunities, said Michael P. McGee, a Miller Canfield public finance lawyer and IFLG advisory board member and instructor. Miller Canfield is pleased to continue to support and help grow this invaluable program with these scholarships.
The IFLG was founded in 2004 to help develop stronger civic leadership in the region. The IFLG offers a range of programs for school board members, mayors, city council members and village and township trustees to help them enhance their knowledge in government finance, policy-making, leadership and other subjects critical to effective leadership from elected officials. Classes and workshops typically range in cost from $50-$80 per session and tackle a wide range of topics including municipal/school district collaboration, campaign financings, fundamentals of planning and zoning, and being a young government leader.
Miller Canfield has always been a strong supporter of ours, providing a significant amount of pro bono work and time in the class room and board room, Thomson said. Weve always been grateful for the work theyve done, and this recent gift of scholarships is a show of their support for stronger civic leadership in the region.
The 2009-2010 class schedule is:
Fundamentals of Local Government: Thursday, Dec. 3
Essentials of Public Service: Thursday, Dec. 10
Fundamentals of Planning & Zoning: Thursday, Jan. 14
Fundamentals of Finance: Thursday, Jan. 21
Understanding Your Budget: Thursday, Feb. 4
Ethics (tentative Wednesday, Jan. 13 or 20)
Labor Contracts/Act 312 (tentative Thursday, Feb. 25)
