Are you feeling the rush of the holidays yet? Celebrations here are usually cozy, peaceful, and chaos free – which is so nice!!! Shopping for gifts is easy since they are either homemade, purchased from Etsy, or done online. We don't rise at 2AM for mad holiday sales! When I watched clips of Black Friday nonsense on the news last month, it saddened me. People trampling each other, punching each other, and yelling at each other just to get the last crappy-ass $1.99 bath towel from Wal-Mart? Seriously?
I'm here to help you avoid those nasty incidents! Plus, give you some swell gift ideas for the people you love. It might be too late for some of you, but for those still scrambling for ideas, read on!
First up, here are my top tips for having an eco-friendly holiday.
1. Why buy big rolls of wrapping paper when other solutions are waiting for you? Wrap small gifts in pages from old calendars and magazines, or use wallpaper remnants. It's free and colorful. Plus, your paper will be unique! Wrap larger gifts in paper bags from the grocery store. Cut the bag to size and decorate with your fine art skills. You could even use canvas shopping bags for larger gifts – two gifts in one! Baskets and tins work for "wrapping" gifts too.
2. Repurpose old greeting cards by turning them into gift tags. Simply cut to the size you want, fold in half, and you are set! Adhere to gifts with tape, or hole punch the gift card and attach to gifts with colorful yarn or ribbon.
3. Support small, local businesses whenever possible. The folks who own these shops work hard and often carry merchandise made closer to home, which means less fuel/packaging wasted shipping products via big semi trucks, boats, and airplanes.
4. Think about the animals. While your family members might not be vegan/vegetarian, it doesn't mean you can't give them gifts that gently encourage compassion for the animals. For example, know someone who loves to cook or bake? Give them a vegan cookbook! There are a million to choose from!
5. Bring your best plant-based dishes to holiday gatherings. We all know that lots of people think veganism means icky, tasteless food. Prove 'em wrong!! When my parents visited Tim and I this summer, we fed them so much vegan food and they enjoyed it! Spread a positive message about vegan food and maybe people will ask you for a recipe or two. And then people will ask them for that recipe, and so on until the entire world is vegan! We can dream a little, right? Here is a good place to start your recipe search.
6. Use LED lights to decorate your tree and home. They use less energy, last longer, and produce less heat. Save some money on your electric bill!
7. Skip buying a tree this year and give some love to a houseplant instead! Tim and I put a tiny string of lights on a houseplant each year and pile gifts around its base. It's fun!
8. Donate your old coats, gloves, hats, and clothing (still usable, of course) to those in need. Also, give to food banks. Everybody deserves warm clothes and a hot meal during this time of year.
And now, here is my little gift guide for easing your shopping dilemmas!
1. I love Etsy. You can find gifts for everybody on your list while supporting small businesses at the same time. My favorite shops on Etsy right now:
Catherine Reece - Super cute handmade pottery with designs that will melt your heart! This piece is my favorite.
DressGreen – Awesome body care products that smell wonderful. Vegan items are labeled. Try the shampoo bars!
JAQS Studio - The best, most pretty handmade cloth napkins in large and small sizes. Well-priced too! Perfect gift for foodies!
DaisyWares – My favorite lip balm, plus jewelry too!
Lee Arthaus – My favorite art prints in the whole wide world!! There are so many sweet designs!!!! I want them all.
Lulu Bug Jewelry – The necklaces are adorable. Look at this owl one!
2. Vegan Cuts is an online marketplace full of vegan goods, from food, to clothing, to shoes, to jewelry, to body care and everything in between! This site has amazing deals!!
3. Not to be biased, but Herbivore Clothing Company has a lot of great merchandise!! We just assembled our Staff Picks Gift Guide 2012 and there is surely something on our list for someone on your list. Check out what we love most!
4. No matter what people say, gift cards are not lame! Give the gift of free food, clothes, books, or whatever to people you love/like or people you wish loved/liked you. Instant success!
5. Make your own gifts! Vegan Food Gifts by Joni Marie Newman is a great place to get ideas. Are you a baker? Give people an array of yummy treats! Are you a photographer? Make a book filled with photographs of your adventures during the year. Are you an artist? Create a personalized painting, sculpture, or drawing! Are you a musician? Make a CD (do people still use CDs?) of your work to share with loved ones. Are you a writer? Compile a collection of your best work into a book. Are you a yoga teacher? Offer a free class to a friend! Are you a knitter/sewer? Make a scarf, placemats, socks, or pillow covers! See where this is going?
5. Donate money to a compassionate organization. Farm Sanctuary, charity: water, Food Not Bombs, and Women for Women are jumping off points.
6. Give somebody a houseplant! You can't go wrong because plants help provide air, and good company. They brighten up any room and live for your love and care (literally). They will even help you wash dishes… Well, not really…
So there you have it – my ultimate guide to an eco-friendly, creatively gifted holiday season!
Stayed tuned because I will be sharing a recipe for Twisted Fennel and Coarse Salt Breadsticks!!!

Offended by Million Dollar Rooms
With the economic situation of millions of Americans, I think this show is inappropriate and offending!! How dare you flaunt the overly extravagant lifestyle of the few who can afford it while millions of us can barely pay the bills! This program follows the recent trend of showing us what we can't afford! What happened to programing that appealed to viewers?
Well, since I don't personally know of anyone with a million dollar room, it's fun to peek into other's lives. I recogonize the world isn't equal but I'm not going to get upset or uptight about such a show.
I agree with mamaspoon, getting personally offended by another's financial success or personal spending is misplaced anger.
Is it offensive for weekend athletes to watch the pros showing off their superior skills?
The key to our own success is wise use of our time and contentment with our own lives.
While I agree that life is unfair and that we should be content with what we have rather than screaming at people who happen to have more - I, too, find this show vulgar. It is just TOOOO much. We all like to see how the other half lives, even those of us who are truly content with "normal" lives, but this is akin (IMO) to showing starving people others sitting at a banquet table stuffing themselves. Those starving people probably realize that there are many who have enough to eat, but to rub their noses in the fact that even the crumbs from the leftovers would feed them and their family is just nuts.
I should add I don't like the show, the rooms are ugly, but am I offended, no, more like bored. I only watched it once, that was enough.
I don't believe life is unfair. What is fair for one is not for another. I guess this is getting off topic...
Think of all the craftsman that are employed by these renovations.
If you want to be offended watch some of the fare over at TLC, Toddlers and Tiaras, Extreme Couponing, and Mama's Boys of the Bronx, now those are offensive. Sadly that channel jumped the shark and is rarely viewed in my house. Of course a lot of HGTV's schedule never graces our TV either.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
I am not an employee of HGTV, nor is anyone else that posts here.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
The only thing that offends me is the utter lack of taste.
My problem with these types of shows isn't the money spent by those that have worked hard for their money...it is that for the most part there is nothing in those shows that I will take away to use for myself. Needless to say I will never be able to afford any of those spaces but if I thought that there would be anything I could find useful to adapt to my budget I might watch....but alas I will never have a bathroom the size of TX or so many cars that I need an elevator to store them
~*Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence*~
I am not "offended" by these shows, they are just crap to me. As the original poster said, with the economic state the way it is now, it's like a slap in the face to show these ostentatious rooms. The same goes for Selling New York, Selling Los Angeles, I'm sure I've missed a couple of shows. I definitely do not want to see an apt. in New York for 10 million dollars with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Same goes for the Los Angeles. Also the show with the realtors who sell million dollar homes, Million Dollar Listings. I like to see a project that I possibly could do, or a show that gives me ideas.
I find a show like this distasteful as well. I just came back from a trip to Baltimore, and people are sleeping on the sidewalks there. You can debate whether spending a million dollars on a ROOM when people don't even have a roof over their head is right or wrong, but for HGTV to flaunt it is only going to serve to fuel people's growing anger and hopelessness over the wealth disparity in this country. I work and I own a home and I find this show at this time to be a bad call by someone at HGTV. I doubt it will be around very long.
I agree these shows are tacky at the least and I am surprised Carter is hosting. I thought he was all for green and conservation. The worst though is the one about the Spelling monstrosity, gag! These certainly prove that money may buy things but it can't buy taste. The commercials were all I needed to see to know these shows were not for me.
I wanted HGTV to know that I found this show offensive. I watched part of one show & was so disgusted. I agree with the comment that I read - it is like eating in front of those that are starving. I am blown away that someone could spend over $300,000 on cabinetry or $100,000 on fancy wall coverings. It seems there is no realization of the world around those who spend so much on themselves - the kicker was the man who said he spends like a king because he is a king or something to that affect...who does that when there are children wading through garbage heaps because they have nothing? My heart breaks seeing that kind of money going into something that will serve few. I will never watch the show again and abhor the fact that this is considered entertaining. It is informative in the worst way - the realization of the incredible selfishness that exist. BLECH!!!
I'm not offended because there are always people that have more or less than others.
I agree with the others who say that it's not worth watching because there's nothing that I personally would be able to do.
On the rare occasion I see "Million Dollar Rooms" I think of it more like watching a freak show.
Sparky...you are so right about TLC...now THAT'S offensive.
~Jean~ in garden zone 6b
I'm not offended by this show, but I agree with the OP that a recession is a crappy time to flaunt obscene riches on TV. Perhaps TPTB think people will watch shows like this as a fantasy escape from the much harder and simpler reality that most of us live, but I think that's misplaced on most people these days. I think most of us are at the very least finding the show to be off-putting and vulgar just by virtue of sheer over-the-top wasting of money.
Doodles, I agree with your analogy about the starving people. I couldn't have put it better myself.
I agree that it is not the best choice to air shows which are based on extravagant spending by rich folks. I have no problem with someone who earned some bucks being able to buy things with it, but featuring it on shows to flaunt it is not appealing. Reminds me of when a local firm did mass layoffs, and one of the senior partners drove to work in a new $100,000 plus car the same day.
You guys may not enjoy the Posh Pets show coming this month, which features rich people spending big dough on their animoles.
I do not find this show offensive, it is simply an extreme lifestyle. anyone has the right to spend their money which ever way they choose. Of course it would be great for the wealthy to contribute in a positive and productive way to help the economy,communities and humanity. why do people expect the well-off to take care of everyone else? the economy is the way it is for many other reasons, which is a different topic. I do not have and maybe will never nor would ever indulge in those luxuries but the reality is, this show is about showing an extreme lifestyle, if people have poor taste or not, its irrelevant this is just another of those shows that cause reactions. I sense a bit of jealousy in reading a lot of comments that seem to be covered up with righteousness but you never know, there might be sincerity in it. So lets take from the rich because there is more to take! Is this how it is should be? its in all peoples nature to self indulge, this is just an example of what people do when they have the means to do it. its just a TV show that is chosen to be watched. good for the people on the show who can afford all the luxuries and I wish and hope they would contribute to better life for everyone who needs it since they economically are able to do so.
How about a show where a filthy rich person considers building a million dollar room, but instead uses that money to help. I wonder how many starving kids could be fed with a million dollars, or how many houses could be built for homeless families? Etc, etc, etc.
My wife had the show on, the episode about the Ferrari dealer and his collection, etc. After it,I felt a little sick, like I had eaten too much ice cream. I had a spectacular house once and it is great to have a place to entertain. You can raise a lot for charity by holding events. Yet, it always bothered me that the five figure checks I signed to keep it all going every month could support a family for a year. It seems there is a moral imbalance in it all. Anyway, much happier in our 2400 sf house now, the kids like it better because we actually "see" each other. They didn't like communicating by intercom! The show reminds me of how much richer we are now and perhaps that poverty of some kind can even exist in mansions.
I'm offended as well. As far as I'm concerned, these people flaunt their money on TV because they are self-centered and think everything should be about them. What better way than to go on national television? That's why I also hate those housewives shows. These millionare shows are all trash.

See, there are people who are dog walkers and since all I seem to be doing with my bow is walking, may as well become a professional bow walker. "Hey, can you let my bow hang from a tree for a while, it really enjoys the smell of fresh wood."
So, I went hunting, and nothing to speak of. I saw over 50 does, but not a single buck. The weather wasn't favouring me either, so I ended up with an uncut tag.
Having said that, I still had fun. I managed to get to less than 10 yards to a group of does and about 40 to a cow mouse and her two calves. Saw a 6 X6 elk (pretty damn far) and I caught my quota in fish every day.
So, need to take your bow out, but don't have time, send it to me, and I will give a great experience.

Sound familiar?Comic careers are like any other career in entertainment: if you don't stay relevant and adapt to a trend, you'll eventually peak and then bottom out.

SOCIAL MEDIA TAKE-DOWNThe creator does something that somehow goes viral, turning his (or her) readers against him. Bad behavior at a convention, sexual harassment online, or a semi-racist Tweet made worse by bumbling attempts to correct it. Or maybe the creator gets blamed for something innocent: innocent comments taken out of context, or involvement in a controversial project that he had no say over. Whatever the case, "social media take-downs" can harm careers, leaving a permanent black mark on your career.2.

Inspiration arrives in so many packages. The wind, a warm magenta, a Russian postage stamp, a tiny note scrawled onto a scrap, the impossible blue of a mountain range, the detail of an antique doorknob, a colorful (and tasty) dessert, a 70s rock ballad you hear at the dentist's office, a bright vintage fabric table cloth. I am inspired by the whimsical, elegant, and unexpected. And the best thing is...life is full of these little details all the time!

Time & Love: Georgian Pearl Garnet Ring
With all the aplomb we have come to expect from Georgian jewelers, this circa 1830 cluster ring of 15k yellow gold will most certainly indulge the most discerning.
Within the warmth of antique gold a rectangular cut garnet settles in repose amidst the embrace of a rub over pinched collet as a surround of natural half pearls exposes a lustrous inner light. Please take note of the delicate and fine crimping along the perimeter of the pearls – stylistically typical for this period. The well proportioned shank displays the deeply chased with flower motif that is often associated with English workmanship. Engraved shoulders seamlessly transition into a silken gold band only time and love can create.
Measurements: 7/16 of an inch (1.1 cm) in width north to south on the hand and rises more than 1/8 of an inch (0.4 cm) off the finger. Weight of 3.8 grams (2.4 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-1/4 (UK O; Euro 17.5, 55.25 mm) and can be sized to accommodate almost any hand. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Very good; shank has been resized, evidence of which is visible upon magnification.
Date & Origin: Circa 1830 and is English in origin.
Important: This ring should not be in water for an extended period nor exposed to any other liquids, cleaning products or harsh chemicals.

Barron D. Goodson Memorial Classic Car & Truck Show
It was this V-8 model Ford — down to the same black color, pin-striping and interior — that her grandparents relied on when they were first married.
Goodson babies the car when she drives it, never allowing herself to go over 50 mph. She barely reaches the gas pedal, there's no power steering, and the Ford requires manual shifting, "but it's all sorts of fun," Goodson says, steering around the long, circular driveway of her parents' farm in eastern Rowan County.
"Everybody has a story about one of these old cars," she adds.
The Goodson family story is all about classic vehicles and their connection to the late Barron Goodson, father to Summer and Sunni Goodson and husband to Sharon Goodson.
"He called us his girls," Sharon says.
A longtime purchasing agent and domestic purchasing director for Cannon Mills and its successors, Fieldcrest-Cannon and Pillowtex, Barron Goodson died of lung cancer Jan. 5, 2012.
He was a car enthusiast, to understate his passion, and through the years bought, sold, traded and restored at least a dozen cars and trucks. He enjoyed traveling with friends to car shows throughout the Southeast.
A 1956 Thunderbird, which Barron sold to Gary Ritchie of Gary's Barbecue, even helped to pay for some of the land where he and Sharon built a home.
Summer Goodson remembers her father picking her up at pre-school in that Thunderbird, which is now one of two on display at Gary's.
Barron Goodson left his three girls with six incredible vehicles: the 1934 Ford, 1955 Pontiac, 1957 Chevrolet truck, 1963 Studebaker Hawk, 1963 Thunderbird and a 1987 Chevy truck.
It wasn't long after his death when Sharon, Summer, Sunni and other family members were talking at the Goodson home and asking themselves how they could honor Barron, while also raising awareness about lung cancer.
Everyone quickly arrived at the same answer: a classic car show.
"It was that obvious," Sharon says.
With help from many people and sponsors in the car show fraternity — "It takes the community to do this," Sharon says — the Goodsons made the first Barron D. Goodson Memorial Classic Car and Truck Show a reality in 2012.
Some might call it a rousing success, given the short period of time it all came together. "For a first year, we were very blessed," Sharon Goodson says.
The Goodsons are deep into planning the second annual classic show, which is set for Oct. 19 at CMC-Northeast Stadium in Kannapolis.
Last year's event drew almost 150 cars and trucks and at least 300 spectators. Meanwhile, the show raised $7,800, and with the help of sponsorship money, the event donated $13,000 to the N.C. Lung Cancer Partnership, an organization the Goodsons came to know while Barron was still alive.
About 20 friends and family members walked in support of Barron Goodson at the Free to Breathe 5K walk/race in Raleigh in October 2010. Barron himself walked some of the distance.
"It was a really special day," Summer Goodson says. "... They're (the Lung Cancer Partnership) fantastic people."
Summer, a cellular biologist in Chapel Hill, has come to know by heart some of the vital statistics associated with lung cancer.
One in 16 people are diagnosed with lung cancer. The five-year survival rate is only 15 percent. There are more cases of lung cancer than breast, prostate and colon cancers combined, though those diseases seem to attract more attention and more money for research.
"And you don't have to be a smoker," Summer Goodson stresses. Her father, who already had a Stage 4, inoperable, non-small cell adenocarcinoma lung cancer when it was diagnosed, was not a smoker.
The N.C. Lung Cancer Partnership wants to see the five-year survival rate double over the next 10 years.
Sharon Goodson says her husband survived beyond his original prognosis. Money raised for the Lung Cancer Partnership is aimed at increasing hope and extending the future for those diagnosed with the disease, she says.
"If you have lungs, you may get lung cancer," Sharon adds, leading her to another axiom. "If you want someone to do something about lung cancer, don't hold your breath."
Diagnosed in 2010, Barron Goodson had a mutation predicted to respond to a targeted drug, and he went through the clinical trial in Chapel Hill.
It didn't work, however. The cancer began progressing in 2011, and Barron insisted on taking his girls for a trip out West in August 2011. Later, as his condition worsened and he reached a "comfort only" phase, Summer and Sunni, who lives and works in Dublin, Ireland, put their careers on hold and helped to care for their father at home.
Sharon Goodson says her husband was a humble, generous, caring man who lived by the words contained in the "Desiderata." "I keep hearing stories of things he has done for people," she adds.
This year's car and truck show will include first- and second-place trophies in most every category imaginable. But the Goodsons also plan a "Wall of Honor," which will accept photographs of both lung cancer survivors and those who have lost their battles with the disease.
All of Barron Goodson's classic vehicles have stories with them.
The green 1957 Chevrolet truck belonged to Barron's grandfather and father, meaning Barron's daughters will be a fourth generation owner.
"It's not anything funny, but it's special," Summer Goodson says.
Barron Goodson restored the mint green 1955 Pontiac because his father and cousin drove the car. But he particularly loved his 1963 Studebaker Hawk.
"You should have seen his face when he'd drive that thing," Summer says.
Barron Goodson's wish list of other classic cars filled more than a page. Summer Goodson says he knew details behind every style of classic car. She could be riding with her father in a car at night, when the only thing they could see of vehicle car was its taillights.
But he would know immediately the year, make and model, Summer says.
Sharon Goodson says her husband taught Summer and Sunni how to drive manual transmissions, things they should know under the hood and how to wash the classic cars the right way.
He left the vehicles in good hands.
"They brought us a lot of joy," Sharon says.
A committee of about 30 people is involved in planning and rounding up sponsors for the Oct. 19 car show.
In addition, the Kannapolis Intimidators will be promoting the Goodson Classic at their game against the Hickory Crawdads July 27, which is also Fireworks Night.
If you buy tickets at www.goodsonclassic.com, 50 percent of the proceeds go to the car show and the N.C. Lung Cancer Partnership
Sharon Goodson says friends such as Gary Walter and Wes Lee, president of the Carolina Muscle Car Club, have been invaluable.
"I think I have been to more car shows now than I had ever been to with Barron," Sharon Goodson says. "... The car show community is one of the best groups of people."
And though Sunni Goodson has been in Dublin, she has maintained the website while being assisted by Irish friend Ronan Kealy, a website designer.
"Both she and he are vital to our efforts," Sharon says.
Almost every day, Sharon Goodson visits her husband's grave at Lowerstone Church. She says she is grateful to God and all the people he has put in the girls' path to carry through Barron's legacy of caring.
"We want others to have the hope and faith and chance for treatments he had — a better quality of life and quantity of life," she says.

Some of the regions youngest elected officials will visit UM-Dearborn on March 26 to encourage people 35 and younger to increase their participation and representation in state and local decision-making
March 19, 2010
DEARBORN / March 19, 2010---Have you ever wondered what it takes to run for, and serve in, public office?
On March 26, some of the regions youngest elected officials as well as veteran leaders and campaign experts will visit the University of Michigan-Dearborn to encourage individuals 35 and younger to increase their participation and representation in state and local decision-making by encouraging them to run for local or state elected office or get appointed to local boards or commissions.
The program, called You-Go-Lead Young Government Leaders Symposium, will be held from 12:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at UM-Dearborn, 4901 Evergreen Rd., in Room 1600 of campuss Social Sciences Building. The symposium is free and open to the public but registration is required by visiting www.umd.umich.edu/iflg or by calling Kelly Young-Raymore at 313-436-9179.
We've assembled a great group of panelists and presenters, including many of Southeast Michigan's youngest elected leaders for a discussion of the opportunities, challenges and rewards of public service, according to assistant Prof. Dale Thomson, director of UM-Dearborns Institute for Local Government, which co-sponsors the program with Comerica.
Speakers scheduled to attend the symposium include city council members Lisa Platt Auensen from Berkley; Brian Hartwell from Madison Heights; Kazi Miah from Hamtramck; Melanie Piana from Ferndale and Andre Spivey from Detroit. In addition, Eric Bacynski of the Plymouth Library board of trustees and Jenice Mitchell-Ford of the Detroit Charter Commission will attend. County Commissioners Jessica Ping from Washtenaw and Dave Woodward from Oakland also will participate. Michigan Sen. Tupac Hunter and Rep. Andrew Kandrevas will share insights on serving at the state level. Public policy and political consultant Trisha Stein and former Detroit City Council member Sheila Cockrel round out the list of committed participants. Other young elected state and local officials have also been invited to participate.
Participants will learn about the range of electoral and appointment opportunities available to them and gain knowledge to help them assess whether or not seeking an elected or appointed position is a viable option for them now or in the future. They also will gain valuable insights on how they can begin charting a course to help them capitalize on the available opportunities.
Discussions will include an overview of opportunities in local elected or appointed office; essential duties of elected and appointed officials and the skills and characteristics necessary to do well once in office; strategies for getting appointed to boards and commissions, and the basic strategies and costs of running a campaign for local or state office.

|Thanks to Sara, Kate, and Val for the nieces and nephews rocks for my new magnet board!
Fun Thing #1: My Family Rocks!
|Thanks to Sara, Kate, and Val for the nieces and nephews rocks for my new magnet board!
Your nieces definitely rock! It will be such fun to get a photo of everyone to go with their rock.
Those rocks are too cute! Have a rockin' weekend, Kalyn. :-)
I love the rocks! I think I might make some for myself!
Also had a lot of fun playing the FROG game LOL it is amazing how simple it is but it still takes a while to figure it out ha ha ha
I read about a great new site called googleartproject.com. It lets you tour the worlds great museums and study the paintings digitally. I just took a quick peek becaue I was busy but it looks like a great free way to spend a rainy afternoon.
This post is just great, thanks so much. Now, before I lose what little mind I have left, how do you move those darn frogs? I have tried everything I can think of and have had no success. Obviously, I am not smarter than a second grader!!!!!!!!! Mary
Lydia and Karina, thanks. I'm taking my sister Val and her kids to the Utah Jazz game tonight (it's their Christmas present) so that should be a lot of fun!
Amira, aren't the rocks fun? I am loving them. I'm still playing the frog game at least a few times every day or so, just to remind myself that I can do it!
Janet, just checked it out and love it. Here is a link to Google Art Project for others who want to go check it out.
Mary, I don't want to give it away here, but e-mail me and I will tell you the trick. (kalynskitchen-AT-comcast-DOT-net)
BTW Mary, don't feel too bad. It took me hours to figure it out!
The rocks are beautiful - your nieces must really love you to make this great gift.
I also love the new heart veggies! are they for Valentine's day? maybe you can do a post on non-sugary romantic foodqedible gifts.
Thanks Elle. I think they do like me a lot (I try hard to be a good aunt!)
The veggie hearts are the new header for February (we are changing the veggies once a month.) My brother Rand does the headers.
Will have to think about foods that aren't sugary but still Valentine's day appropriate, good idea!
I love these kind of round-up posts---always a little something for everyone. Looking forward to your new cabbage recipe!
Thanks Sandie! The cabbage salad will be coming soon!
Love your header-so pretty and cute. I also think the rocks are a great idea-neat.
I am reading the South Beach Diet Book and thinking of giving it a go-sure hate to give up fruit for phase 1.
Bev I have heard about people starting with phase two but haven't tried it myself.
those magnets are such a lovely way to remember important people in your life - what a thoughtful present and what a big family
Johanna, I have 39 nieces and nephews and 49 great nieces and nephews, and a few are even missing on the rocks (their rocks are coming from my sister!) I still have quite a few nieces and nephews who aren't married so who knows how many we will end up with!

- How is cirrhosis diagnosed?

What is cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis* is scarring of the liver. Scar tissue forms because of injury or long-term disease. Scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue and blocks the normal flow of blood through the liver.
A healthy liver
- makes proteins
- helps fight infections
- cleans the blood
- helps digest food
- stores a form of sugar that your body uses for energy
A liver with too much scar tissue cannot work properly. You cannot live without a liver that works. But early treatment can control symptoms and keep cirrhosis from getting worse.
*See the Pronunciation Guide for tips on how to say the words in bold type.
What causes cirrhosis?
Causes of cirrhosis include
- heavy alcohol use
- some drugs, medicines, and harmful chemicals
- infections
- chronic hepatitis B, C, or D—viral infections that attack the liver
- autoimmune hepatitis, which causes the body's immune system to destroy liver cells
- nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which is often caused by obesity
- diseases that damage or destroy bile ducts—tubes that carry bile from the liver
Some inherited diseases—diseases that are passed from parent to child—can cause cirrhosis:
- hemochromatosis, a disease that causes iron to collect in the liver
- Wilson disease, a condition that causes copper to build up in the liver
- porphyria, a disorder that affects the skin, bone marrow, and liver
What are the symptoms of cirrhosis?
You may have no symptoms in the early stages of cirrhosis. As cirrhosis gets worse you may
- feel tired or weak
- lose your appetite
- feel sick to your stomach
- lose weight
- notice red, spider-shaped blood vessels under your skin
Cirrhosis can lead to other serious problems:
- You may bruise or bleed easily, or have nosebleeds.
- Bloating or swelling may occur as fluid builds up in your legs or abdomen—the area between your chest and hips. Fluid buildup in your legs is called edema; buildup in your abdomen is called ascites.
- Medicines, including those you can buy over the counter such as vitamins and herbal supplements, may have a stronger effect on you. Your liver does not break medicines down as quickly as a healthy liver would.
- Waste materials from food may build up in your blood or brain and cause confusion or difficulty thinking.
- Blood pressure may increase in the vein entering your liver, a condition called portal hypertension.
- Enlarged veins, called varices, may develop in your esophagus and stomach. Varices can bleed suddenly, causing you to throw up blood or pass blood in a bowel movement.
- Your kidneys may not work properly or may fail.
- Your skin and the whites of your eyes may turn yellow, a condition called jaundice.
- You may develop severe itching.
- You may develop gallstones.
In the early stages, cirrhosis causes your liver to swell. Then, as more scar tissue replaces healthy tissue, your liver shrinks.
A small number of people with cirrhosis also get liver cancer.
How is cirrhosis diagnosed?
Your doctor will examine you and may perform
- blood tests to see whether your liver is working properly
- imaging tests, which may show the size of your liver and show swelling or shrinkage
- a liver biopsy, in which a doctor uses a needle to take a small piece of liver tissue to view with a microscope to look for scar tissue
How is cirrhosis treated?
Once you have cirrhosis, nothing can make all the scar tissue go away. But treating the cause will keep cirrhosis from getting worse. For example, if cirrhosis is from heavy alcohol use, the treatment is to completely stop drinking alcohol. If cirrhosis is caused by hepatitis C, then the hepatitis C virus is treated with medicine.
Your doctor will suggest treatment based on the cause of your cirrhosis and your symptoms. Being diagnosed early and carefully following a treatment plan can help many people with cirrhosis. In the late stages of cirrhosis, certain treatments may not be effective. In that case, your doctor will work with you to prevent or manage the problems that cirrhosis can cause.
What if the cirrhosis treatment doesn't work?
If too much scar tissue forms, your liver could fail. Then you will need a liver transplant. A liver transplant can return you to good health. For information about liver transplantation, see the booklet What I need to know about Liver Transplantation from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).
How can I prevent cirrhosis if I already have liver disease?
To prevent cirrhosis,
- see your doctor for treatment of your liver disease. Many of the causes of cirrhosis are treatable. Early treatment may prevent cirrhosis.
- try to keep your weight in the normal range. Being overweight can make several liver diseases worse.
- do not drink any alcohol. Alcohol can harm liver cells. Drinking large amounts of alcohol over many years is one of the major causes of cirrhosis.
- do not use illegal drugs, which can increase your chances of getting hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
- see your doctor if you have hepatitis. Treatments for hepatitis B, C, and D are available. If you are on treatment, carefully follow your treatment directions.
- if you have autoimmune hepatitis, take your medicines and have regular checkups as recommended by your doctor or a liver specialist.
What can I do to keep cirrhosis from getting worse?
To keep cirrhosis from getting worse,
- do not drink any alcohol.
- talk with your doctor before taking any medicines, including those you can buy over the counter such as vitamins and herbal supplements. Cirrhosis makes your liver sensitive to certain medicines.
- get vaccinated against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Although hepatitis A does not cause cirrhosis, it can damage your liver.
- ask your doctor about getting a flu shot and being vaccinated against pneumonia.
- avoid eating raw oysters or other raw shellfish. Raw shellfish can have bacteria that cause severe infections in people with cirrhosis.
Points to Remember
- Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver. Scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue.
- Some common causes of cirrhosis include heavy alcohol use, hepatitis infections, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
- In the early stages of cirrhosis, you may have no symptoms. As the disease gets worse, cirrhosis can cause serious problems.
- Once you have cirrhosis, nothing can make all the scar tissue go away. But treatment can prevent cirrhosis from getting worse.
- If too much scar tissue forms and your liver fails, you will need a liver transplant.
- You can take steps to prevent cirrhosis or keep it from getting worse.
Hope through Research
The NIDDK's Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition supports research into liver diseases such as cirrhosis. Researchers are studying new ways to
- prevent cirrhosis
- prevent and treat symptoms of cirrhosis
- reverse scarring of the liver
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Brent Bookwalter's third-place finish led four BMC Racing Team riders in the top 12 of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge prologue Monday in Colorado.
Evans Finishes Ninth
Bookwalter, the 13th rider of 130 to start the 8.3 kilometer race against the clock, said he pushed a 56 x 11 on his BMC timemachine TM01 on the mostly downhill course. Only stage winner Patrick Gretsch (HTC-Highroad) and runner-up Christian Vande Velde (Garmin-Cervélo) were faster. "The last kilometer had a little uphill kick to it," Bookwalter said. "I was paying big for my earlier efforts there. To be only a few seconds off Gretsch, I felt like I did a good time. I might have also gotten a little lucky with the wind than the later guys." In addition to Bookwalter's best result of the season, the BMC Racing Team also placed George Hincapie sixth, Cadel Evans was ninth and Jeff Louder was 12th. Evans said the course "wasn't exactly my thing" and that he felt OK in his first race since winning the Tour de France. "Give me a couple days and I might be able to go all right," Evans said. The adjustment to altitude is the biggest thing. I think the guys who rode Utah are at an advantage having been here another week."
