Vanessa sat for our 2 boys (8&2)and they loved her- they said she was the best babysitter they had ever had as she played games with them! It was a worry to leave them with someone we had not previously met but we were reassured that Vanessa had also sat for some friends of ours.
I would like to recommend Hayley as an excellent babysitter. She is very friendly, relaxed and competent. Our three children all enjoyed their time with Hayley, especially the bedtime story.
Danielle was simply lovely! She was very punctual and did all to make my baby feel comfortable with her. She even text to let me know the baby was asleep and had settled.My other kids really felt at home with her. This was my first time of using sitters. I am definitely going to keep using sitters and I really hope she gets assigned to us again.Fingers crossed; I am making her my first preferred sitter, hopefully I will get her assigned to us every time.

Business Start Up Cost Calculator
Determining how much it would cost to start a business can be complex. Generally, it comes down to making estimates for these three items.
Once you make these estimates, you can calculate the funds you will need by month during the critical start up phase of a business. Here are a series of calculators that can help.
Working with anticipated business start up costs
Knowing when you will need funds during the early stages of a business can help you create a financing plan that is more efficient and demonstrate that you understanding of the financial dynamics of your business. You may want to create a tracking worksheet to compare what you anticipated with what your actual needs are.

How refreshing to see the liberal New York Times run a major front page article ("Rand Paul's Mixed Inheritance - January 26).
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul reminds me of the modern-day conservative movement's founding father, the late Arizona senator and 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.
Goldwater believed that individual economic and civil liberties prosper best when government stays out of the marketplace.
Limited government meant that taxpayers' dollars would be spent prudently, with the least amount of taxation accompanied by real balanced budgets, no deficits, and actual surpluses.
He would never support the massive deficit spending that has resulted in today's $17 trillion long-term debt. He was no fan of corporate welfare or spending billions on useless weapons systems supported by Congress, but not requested by the Pentagon.
If alive today, Goldwater would say, "In your heart, you know Rand Paul is right!"
I'll take Rand Paul any day over former senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.

Remember the mobile speed sign that appeared in Morenci last spring, the one that instantly displayed your speed of travel?
Drivers will soon see a lot more of the sign following a city council decision Monday. Council approved the purchase of a Speed Sentry Shield sign at a cost of $5,500.
About half the cost comes from funds the city receives through drunk driving arrests. A portion of the fines assessed are returned to the community where the arrest was made. Morenci Chief of Police Larry Weeks said those funds are typically used for traffic safety efforts.
He sees the value of sign going beyond an increase in awareness of speed limits.
"It does a lot more for us than that," he said.
For example, whenever a change in local traffic regulations are made, a traffic study is required. When the turn lane was added at the downtown stoplight, Weeks had to assign an officer at the location to record traffic counts for a specified period, but the Speed Sentry also handles traffic counts.
If residents request a change in speed limit on a street, the Speed Sentry would be used for the required survey before a decision could be made.
Weeks was surprised by the positive reception the sign received last spring when he borrowed a unit to try out. Several residents told him how much they appreciated the presence of the sign to help raise awareness of local speed laws.

Its not exactly like winning the lottery.
Jeffrey Deskovics fortune, a $9 million windfall (minus lawyers fees), came because he spent nearly 16 years in prison for a murder he did not commit.
Deskovic was released from a New York state prison in 2006, thanks in large part to the efforts of Mancos resident Claudia Whitman. The DNA at the 1990 crime scene did not match Deskovic. In 2006, the DNA evidence was re-examined, and, in a cross-check of a DNA bank, the true killer of 15-year-old Angela Correa, Deskovics high school classmate, was revealed.
This column featured Deskovic and Whitman in 2007. While I tend to wish my subjects well, I dont always follow up on their lives. In this case, Deskovic called me.
Hes looking to get the word out about what hes doing with his life. Its been a struggle, he says, to re-enter society. Imagine entering prison at age 17 and suddenly being freed at 32. When do you learn to be an adult?
Deskovic, at first, felt detached from the world around him. He suffered anxiety attacks. It was too much at once, figuring out how to deal with new technology, how to earn a living, how to make friends. Little by little, hes learned to cope.
My mind is much clearer than before, he said in a recent telephone interview from his office on West 72nd Street in Manhattan.
What the 38-year-old is doing with his life is this:
He took about $1.5 million from the money he was awarded in two court cases and started the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice. The nonprofit foundation, launched in March, has four components:
Promoting public awareness of wrongful imprisonment and related issues, urging legislation to reform the system, exonerating innocent prisoners and reintegrating ex-prisoners into society.
The foundation has a legal division, an investigator, an office manager and an assistant director. Then theres Deskovic himself, a powerful speaker who travels as far as California to bring attention to the issues and the foundation, said assistant director Richard Blassberg. In all there are five staff members and four interns.
For an office, the foundation took a former beauty salon and rebuilt it from the ground up. Its a quick walk to Central Park, and, a tidbit for curious Beatles fans, its about a block from The Dakota, where John Lennon lived and was murdered in 1980.
In 2011, Deskovic was granted $1.85 million from New York state for wrongful imprisonment. Also that year, he got $6.5 million in a federal civil-rights lawsuit against Westchester County, N.Y.
He could have taken that money and bought, you know, a large sailboat, Whitman said in a recent phone interview. I do think he already is helping other people. ... Of all the exonerees I know of, hes the only one who has gotten a huge chunk of money and has set up a foundation.
During Deskovics prison stay, he held on tightly to any connections who might help his cause. He clung to the hope of having the DNA re-examined. Whitman became his savior. She persuaded the nonprofit Innocence Project, which had turned down Deskovic once, to take another look at his case. The Innocence Project, best known for helping wrongfully convicted prisoners through DNA evidence, managed to get the courts to give Deskovics case another look.
He was released from prison Sept. 20, 2006.
Whitman concurred that Deskovic is a very good public speaker. And he has a gripping story.
Nobody can tell it better than somebody whos been through it, Whitman said.
Deskovic recently made a donation to Whitmans nonprofit, the National Death Row Assistance Network. Whitman also works with the Grassroots Investigation Project, which she created in 2000.
I could go on a never-ending vacation, said Deskovic, who earned a degree from Mercy College after being freed and is nearing a masters in criminal justice from John Jay College.
But he had trouble forgetting the people hed left behind, the others who are innocently jailed. The foundation received 500 applications last year from prisoners around the country and has 20 active cases, Blassberg said.
Although the two settlements made Deskovic a multimillionaire, with at least one more lawsuit pending, to give up 16 years for that financial bonanza is still a bad deal, he said.
I would give all the money back. But I cant rewind it all, he said.
Instead, hes moving forward as best he can. The foundation still needs to prove itself, and will need continued support to survive, but hes proud to have given it a nice running start.
Hes relieved and excited to have a purpose.
I want to make what happened count for something, Deskovic said. It would be my dream to help clear somebody. I live for that moment.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - PITTSBURGH (AP) All in all, it was a frustrating Saturday night for the Cincinnati Reds.
Ace pitcher Johnny Cueto was forced to leave the 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth inning with a strained right triceps. He will return to Cincinnati on Sunday to be examined by team doctors.
In addition to losing a pitcher who has allowed just seven earned runs in his last seven starts in Pittsburgh, the Reds watched their offense sputter. Cincinnati went 0 for 12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12 runners.
After striking out Pedro Alvarez starting the fifth, Cueto threw a first-pitch strike to Travis Snider then began shaking his right arm. A Reds trainer visited Cueto on the mound, briefly massaged the pitcher's upper arm, and both then walked to the dugout.
"I believe when I threw a changeup to Alvarez that I felt something in my arm," Cueto said.
"It's disappointing. I felt really good. I thought I was pitching really good and I wanted to stay in that game."
Cueto had 19 victories last season and helped Cincinnati win the NL Central, then left the division series opener against San Francisco with an oblique strain that knocked him out for the rest of the series, won by the Giants in five games. He is 1-0 with a 2.60 ERA in three starts this season.
Cueto allowed one run and two hits in 4 1-3 innings with one walk and three strikeouts on Saturday.
"The good thing is that it isn't the elbow and it isn't the shoulder," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It's in the belly of the triceps so, hopefully, he'll be OK."
Alfredo Simon (0-1) relieved Cueto with the score 1-1. Snider reached on an infield single, Clint Barmes singled and Starling Marte singled with two outs to drive in the go-ahead run.
Pinch-hitter Jose Tabata added an RBI double off the right-center field fence in the seventh against J.J. Hoover.
Jeff Locke (1-1) won for only the second time in three major league seasons.
Making his 14th big league appearance and 12th start, Locke allowed one run, four hits and four walks in five innings with no strikeouts. His first win was last Oct. 1, when he pitched six innings of one-run ball to beat Atlanta.
"I had a hard time trying to find the strike zone," said Locke, who has a 2-7 career record. "I got them to hit some balls on the ground when I needed to and I was fortunate to have some good defense behind me."
However, Baker thought the Reds' lack of hitting with runners was as much as cause for the loss as the Pirates' defense and Locke's ability to escape jams.
"You've got to execute," Baker said. "Three times we had runners on second base with no outs and didn't score them. I can't stress enough how important it is to execute. It wasn't a very good job on our part."
Mark Melancon pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and has not allowed a run in seven games and seven innings this season. Jason Grilli finished for his fifth save in as many chances.
Cincinnati has lost four in a row, its longest regular-season skid since a five-game streak last Aug. 5-9. The Pirates have won four of five following a 1-5 start.
Zack Cozart had three hits, including a double and his third homer of the season, a solo drive in the third. Andrew McCutchen walked in the fourth and scored on a two-out double by Garrett Jones, who is 7 for 14 in his last four games.
NOTES: RHP Phil Irwin is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and start Sunday for Pittsburgh in place of LHP Wandy Rodriguez in the finale of the three-game series in what would be his major league debut. Rodriguez said he will be unable to start after straining his left hamstring Monday while pitching at Arizona. The Reds will start RHP Mat Latos (0-0, 4.05), who is 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA in seven career starts against Pittsburgh ... Cincinnati 2B Brandon Phillips was away from the team because of what Baker termed a family matter and also may miss Sunday's game. INF Cesar Izturis started in Phillips place. ... Simon had his first career hit, a single off LHP Justin Wilson in the sixth. ... Cincinnati CF Shin-Soo Choo and 1B Joey Votto have reached base safely in all 11 games. ... Marte's streak of six straight games with a first-inning hit ended when he struck out. ... Pirates LHP Francisco Liriano is expected to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment with high Class-A Bradenton on Monday. Liriano, who broke a bone in his right upper arm on Christmas, is scheduled to pitch three innings and be on a 50-pitch limit. ... Alvarez was 0 for 2 and is batting .086 with 15 strikeouts in 35 at-bats.

18-year-old's mother says jail is no place for her sick sonBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
November 22. 2012 10:41PM
MILFORD - Lyndon Pratt, who struggles with severe mental illness and a violent temper, has wound up at Valley Street Jail twice so far this year, but police and his mother believe there needs to be a safer place to send disabled adults.
Pratt, 18, suffers from a long list of mental illnesses, including bi-polar disorder with psychotic features and ADHD, according to his mother, Lisa Currier, a single mom who has been trying to balance the needs of her disabled son with caring for her two other children. Currier also believes her son may be autistic. Pratt has difficulty communicating and understanding simple concepts and requires constant supervision.
Problems began at 6
Pratt's problems began when he was only 6 years old.
"They just came on all of a sudden," said Currier. "He was the happiest kid on the planet and then he wasn't."
For many years, Pratt lived at St. Ann's Home and School in Methuen, Mass., where he received the support he needed to function despite his disabilities.
"He did really well in school," said Currier. "He was really well behaved and worked hard."
After graduating from St. Ann's at 17 (the school ends at 11th grade), he was enrolled at the Sage School in Milford, an alternative high school program. Last spring, he graduated from Sage and was on his own. At 18, he has "aged out" of any programs offered by the school district. Currier said she has been struggling to get him into some other form of day or residential program where he can be supervised and given the structure and support he needs.
"Right now, he's stuck here at home with us," she said. "So he has nothing to do, which frustrates him, and that's when he gets into trouble."
Nowhere to go but jail
This summer, Pratt's frustration turned to violence and he lashed out against his mother and smashed furniture in their house. The police were called and that's when Milford Police Prosecutor Michael McCall got involved.
McCall said that when Pratt was arrested, the issue immediately became where to send him.
"If he's a danger to himself or others, he has to go somewhere," McCall said. "And if there's nowhere to put him, he has to go to jail."
McCall said before sending him to Valley Street Jail in Manchester, he made calls to every program and agency he could think of to find a safe alternative to Pratt's mother's house. He couldn't be let out on the street because he's incapable of fending for himself, and his mother has become a target for his frustration and anger, said McCall. But in the end, there were no alternatives. Pratt went to jail.
"I hated sending him up there. When we arrested him, he didn't even really know what was going on," McCall said. "He is so vulnerable given his issues, a prime target for physical, emotional, or other abuse, but I just didn't have any alternative."
Halfway house?
The same issue came up again last week when Pratt, who had returned home after being bailed out of Valley Street earlier in the year, had another violent episode. Again Valley Street was the only option, McCall said.
Now the pressure is on to try to find something to help Pratt and his family. That isn't part of McCall's job description, but he said it is a moral imperative for him.
"I'm trying to piece together some help for him. I'm constantly talking to people and looking for new programs, but it seems like the solution for Lyndon doesn't exist in this area," he said.
Ultimately, McCall said he thinks Pratt would benefit from living in a sort of halfway house where he had constant supervision, but also had a chance to work and contribute to society. The struggle has been finding a way to get him into a program like that.
Mental health programs
Budgets for mental health programs have been drastically reduced in the last few years, leaving people like Pratt without access to services they need, said Beth Raymond, Vice President of Individual and Family Services at Gateways Community Services of Nashua.
"Our communities don't provide adequate support for people with significant mental health issues," said Raymond.
The biggest struggle for parents and loved ones of those who are suffering with such severe problems is just getting in the door and ensuring the right range of services are being given. But then there are waiting lists for services like residential facilities because the money just isn't there.
What people like Pratt need most, Raymond said, is an experienced advocate, someone who can navigate the bureaucracy of a system that is complex, overburdened and underfunded.
For Currier, the hardest part is not being able to help her son while at the same time, living in fear of him.
"He's ashamed of that part of him," she said. "He tells me all the time he wishes he was normal. He just wants friends, to be able to work, to have a girlfriend. He wants to do all the things he can't do, and I don't know how to help him."
Pratt will be back at the 9th Circuit Court in Milford on Wednesday, Nov. 28, to be arraigned on his latest charges. In the meantime, his mother has posted bail and he's back at home for now.

The sentence is the smallest unit of thought in a novel, and I've been finding myself giving more and more sentence-related notes in critiques for webinar students and conference attendees. I'll do a lot more talking about this in the near future, but I did want to prime you all to start thinking hard about your sentences by sharing an article I read a while ago. This essay may be old news to some, and it's a bit long, but it's still an excellent and thought-provoking read. I urge all of you to go through this and give it a lot of thought.
One of my favorite sentences from it:
You don't develop a style by writing sentences that have no purpose other than to be stylish, sentences that seek to be self-contained works of art.
A-MEN! This perfectly ties into the notes I've been giving on overwriting, and also on saying something simple in an overly complicated way. Much more on that soon. The author is Christopher R. Beha, and the essay is here.

bitter sweetMonday, August 27, 2007
School started today. And, although I hate for the summer to end, I must admit I was a little giddy yesterday, thinking about today. Oh, time to do the gazillion things I have let go over the summer. However, those gazillion things are just going to have to wait another day. Because, after I skipped up the driveway, drank more coffee, blared music throughout the house, I decided it was time to try to accomplish the other things on my list! Happy, happy Monday.

Yeah! Am with you. I was so stressed last night about first day of school but this morning, I put everything into perspective. So far, my morning has been successful and fulfilling.....had my morning run plus play time at the park, run a few errands and guess what, am kicking my feet right now to just KNIT and knit and do nothing else really....Enjoy your monday!ReplyDelete

I laughed at Yarnhog's comment - I love school days too ;)
Let the knitting begin!!
It was the first day in a long time I didn't hear. "mom!" "mom!' every 5 minutes from my daughter. I do love her but lordy I'd like to change my name to F*c*, because that is a word she can't say & she'd never be able to yell for me.ReplyDelete
Where did I spend my day? OH yeah, at her schoool getting started on the fall fundraiser. Today I sell book sox at his school, knit tomorrow. Definitely!
Sounds like fun. My kids are back at school and I have enjoyed my sewing time. Best wishes to many hours of knitting.ReplyDelete

It seems like just a few days ago when you were posting about the first day of no school, now back to school, already? Does that mean cookie of the week again?ReplyDelete
Ahhh, now that looks like the perfect way to spend the day!ReplyDelete
Enjoy it. Before you know it there are all those holiday breaks:)
oh, happy monday indeed!ReplyDelete

Jim Wilkes has a target on his back.
The Tampa-based trial lawyer whose success at suing nursing homes for neglect and abuse of residents has drawn millions in damages from the industry.
It has also brought their wrath — and they've turned to the Florida Legislature to stop him.
Wilkes' model, which has been successfully employed in Florida and eight states where he has offices, is to not only target the owners and management companies — which can often be shell companies that shield the assets of owners and investors — but to target the investors, vendors and contractors, when he can show they have a role in the company's decision-making. He also seeks large punitive damages.
In Polk County, where a nursing home shut down its management company after Wilkes sued, he won a $1 billion judgment in 2012 when the company didn't put up a defense. In Pinellas County, a jury awarded $200 million to the family of a nursing home patient who died of neglect.
"They keep putting companies in bankruptcy and transferring assets, and we follow the assets and now the courts are able to go up the ladder,'' said Wilkes, 63.
The result, the industry says, is having a chilling effect on investment income into nursing homes in Florida — at a time when older nursing homes want to update and retrofit in preparation for a surge in growth with the aging of baby boomers. Story here.

Crash lands car into Rochester house
May 05. 2013 11:19AM
ROCHESTER — A two-vehicle accident Saturday forced a car into a house on Portland Street, police said.
A Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Shirley MacDonald, 77, of East Rochester, was heading east on Portland Street when her vehicle rear-ended an eastbound vehicle traveling in front of her around 3:20 p.m., according to Sgt. Patrick Emerson.
The Jeep struck a Buick Park Avenue, driven by Cody Stickney, 19, of York, Maine.
The collision caused the Buick to go off the road and into the front of the home at 367 Portland St., police said.
Resident Holly Rousseau was inside her home at the time, but wasn't injured. Stickney received minor injuries in the collision and was taken to Frisbie Memorial Hospital for evaluation, according to Emerson

Finance professor Robert Merton
More than 200 finance professionals and MIT Sloan alumni gathered in Shanghai last month for a day of discussion on the future of modern finance, the third in a series of forums that bring MIT Sloan faculty around the world for frank discussions about finance and policy.
"[MIT Sloan] has the responsibility to lead and develop what the world needs for finance," dean
David Schmittlein told the audience at the July 19 event. "It's important for us to develop the concepts and methods that will allow us to develop the complex, sophisticated financial systems that the world needs, with a resilience that the world also needs."
"The world needs more smart people who understand complex financial systems," he said. "Not less." MIT Sloan this year launched the MIT Sloan Center for Finance and Policy.
Sound modern financial systems are built using expert knowledge to interpret vast amounts of data. To contribute to the discussion, MIT Sloan professors
Deborah Lucas,
Robert Merton,
Jun Pan, and
Stephen Ross shared their latest research on financial models and systems that address some of the challenges in modern finance.
And MIT Sloan alumni covered a range of topics in two panels. On one, two of China's top financial professionals discussed the role of finance in emerging markets, while another group discussed ways to lead the financial organizations of the future.
Finance is becoming increasingly important for emerging markets
Shanghai, China's financial capital and aspiring world financial center, was an apt location to discuss the role of finance in the growth of emerging markets. Leaders in emerging markets are seeking to better manage growth, gathering more knowledge and talent from the financial field than ever before.
"The era when very few Chinese financial professionals were up to date with the latest academic research findings is over," said Haizhou Huang, managing director and head of the sales and trading department of China International Capital Corporation. There is an "ever-increasing number of Chinese financiers being educated at leading institutions like MIT Sloan," he said.
Emerging markets are also challenging the post-2008 financial crisis system. Huang pointed out the benefit of China's lack of heritage in finance, suggesting it gives China "an opportunity to create finance for the future, with a completely new financial system."
Interconnectedness in finance can be a strength
Increased interconnectivity of global financial markets, a phenomenon of the modern financial system that was widely commented on during the crisis, was a key theme throughout the forum.
Professor Robert Merton, a Nobel laureate, introduced a new approach for analyzing and managing macro financial risks by leveraging the many connections between financial bodies that makes the world of finance so complex.
Merton's goal is to "figure out ways to convey information with vast connections and numbers in a fashion that's useful while trying to understand what's going on." He believes his approach will help guide finance professionals toward asking prescient questions when examining global markets.
Rather than view the complicated interconnectedness of financial systems as problematic, Merton was optimistic.
"The mere observation of growing connectedness is not in itself a suggestion of contagion or systemic risks. It may even be a reflection of the improvements in the global system," he said.
MIT Sloan has also held finance forums in

NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- New York radio personality Robin Quivers said Monday she is cancer-free after battling the disease for the past year.
Quivers, 61, said on Howard Stern's Sirius XM show it took 12 hours for surgeons to remove the grapefruit-sized tumor last May. She also underwent chemotherapy and other forms of treatment after the disease was found in her endometrial tissue. Fortunately, she is now cancer-free.
"[The tumor] was so huge that it was lying on all the organs in my pelvis, and they literally had to scrape it off when they got to it," Quivers said. "They couldn't even figure out how to operate at one point because it was so massive."
"I gotta be honest, I thought she was a goner," Stern said about Quivers, who has worked as his radio sidekick since 1981.
Quivers was out of the radio studio for several months in 2013 due to health issues but she did not publicly confirm her battle with cancer until Monday.

Diabetes Collection
General Overview
Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism, the way the body uses digested food for growth and energy. In diabetes, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the body cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced, and as a result, glucose cannot enter the body's cells.
Find answers in our in-depth reports on diabetes:
Preventing Diabetes
Just as precancer may be detected and removed before turning into cancer, discovery of diabetes in its earliest stages can help prevent the development of full-blown diabetes. That, in a nutshell, is the idea behind the term "prediabetes."
What does it really mean to have prediabetes?
Given that diabetes is costly, hard to treat, and approaching epidemic levels, it's not surprising that interest in prediabetes is growing. The majority of people with prediabetes don't know they have it.
Living With Diabetes
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease: what's the link?
Cardiovascular disease is the leading complication and cause of premature death among people with diabetes. Unfortunately, many people with diabetes do not understand the risk of cardiovascular disease or what they can do to help prevent it.
Managing diabetes does not just mean keeping your blood sugar levels in an acceptable range. It also means taking steps toward preventing health complications that can occur with diabetes.
Insulin is a hormone in the body that helps control glucose (sugar) levels in the blood. It helps transport glucose from the bloodstream to cells that use the sugar for energy. Read more about the different kinds of insulin.
Reducing your risk of heart disease when you have diabetes
Until recently, controlling blood glucose was considered the single most important step in treating diabetes. However, new studies indicate that, because diabetes can cause damage to the heart and blood vessels, controlling cardiovascular disease risk factors is equally important.
Being sick can put all of your activities on hold. You're forced to stop and take care of yourself. But, if you have diabetes, this demands extra attention.
Living With Diabetes (Continued)
What are the effects of alcohol on your body if you have diabetes?
When your days are filled with school or work, how can you put your health first and live your life?
You have a routine in place to manage diabetes when you're at home and work. But what about holidays and vacations?
Eating With Diabetes
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) considers counting carbohydrates ("carbs") to be a key strategy for meeting glucose level goals.
Ever wish there was a magic list of foods that will leave you feeling full without spiking your blood glucose? Wish granted! The American Diabetes Association lists these 10 "superfoods."
What is a healthy diet for someone with diabetes? Could following the glycemic index be the answer?
Special Topics
Erectile dysfunction: a concern for men with diabetes
For roughly half of all men with diabetes, impotence is a painful fact of daily life. The cause: diabetic neuropathy, a nerve disorder that can disrupt the neural pathways responsible for creating and sustaining an erection.
Islet-cell transplants: the end of insulin shots?
For years, daily insulin injections have been the primary treatment for millions of people with diabetes. Research into a new therapy may provide a breakthrough in diabetes care.

Dude! I'd kill for gas prices like that.
Oh, the post... Yeah, my wife has recently gotten excited about some upgrades she's gotten. And when she found out a few of them were best in slot for a shadow priest... well... it was a whole new level of "wow, cool!"
And totally agree with you about playing with people. It's why I've grown to love MMO's in general, but WoW in particular since my RL friends are here as well.

Hundreds of hats arranged on candelabras, serving as table centerpieces, greeted the 280 women attending the Long Beach District Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO) Reciprocity Bureau's Founder's Day celebratory luncheon Jan. 28.
The theme of the event, held at the Petroleum Club, was "Hats Off to PEO." It featured every imaginable style, color and shape in the many chapeaux on display, including those of men, women, children, firefighters, police officers and ballplayers. Hostesses also wore hats, adding to the fun of the day.
Following entertainment presented by the Golden Sands Chorus, Reciprocity President Lucretia Knutson introduced special guests including Reciprocity past presidents and 50-plus year members.
Founders Day Committee Chairwoman Norma Marter said: "The inspiration to us each year is brought by the speakers who have received financial aid from PEO. These three young women have close ties to our chapters."
She said one of the women is the daughter of a Reciprocity board member, and the other two are granddaughters of chapter members. The scholarship speakers included: Heather Campion Payne, Holly Hodges and Dr. Carrie Brubaker.
Payne is a school psychologist in the Saddleback Valley School Unified School District. She is the recipient of the Janet H. Griswold Memorial Scholarship and Dorothy Dunning's granddaughter.
After graduation and an internship with Walt Disney Imagineering, Hodges was hired as a mechanical engineer to work on and oversee construction on a brand-new roller coaster in Shanghai, China. She received the Educational Loan Fund award (and is Evelyn Belisle's granddaughter).
Brubaker graduated Phi Beta Kappa and is performing postdoctoral research at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Lausanne, Switzerland. Carrie is a PEO Scholar Award recipient and also the Louise Remy Endowed Scholar for 2011-2012. (She is Janet Brubaker's daughter.)
Seven young women founded PEO 143 years ago. It has grown to nearly 250 million women in the United States and Canada while providing over $210 million scholarships, grants, awards and loans that have helped many women reach their educational goals.
Seen at the scene: Janet Brubaker, Mary Bush, Gini Kesler, Nancy Yoho, Norma Kober, Betty Lou Rollo, Sally Szabo, Dorothy Dunning, Cheryl Davis, Violet Quist, Merle Foster, Maria Pereira, Mona Thomason with Merle and Betty McCoy.
Las Damas
Nearly three dozen members of Las Damas de la Plaza gathered for the second annual Tamale Pie Extravaganza at the Fountains Clubhouse on Jan. 18.
After a brief business meeting, margaritas, tamale pie and salad were served.
Las Damas de la Plaza was founded in 1984 to promote and advance the welfare of Community Hospital of Long Beach. It is a small group of women who raise money for needed equipment for the hospital. For more information, call 562-596-0876.
Seen at the scene: President Phyllis Bowles, new members Pat Ramsburg, Arelia Mvros, Ann Hayden, Marald Nosworthy, Pat Mohler and Christy Roeber.
St. Mary Guild
The beautiful seaside mansion that houses the Long Beach Museum of Art – built in 1910 by the Anderson Family – was the scene for the St. Mary Medical Center Guild Provisional Luncheon and election of officers on Jan 19.
President Ginnie Wilcox welcomed new provisionals Eleanor Siegrist and Jo Ann Clark with a rose bouquet. St. Mary Medical Center Foundation President Drew Gagner gave a current status report on the medical center.
Lunch was served in the Nussbaum Room, overlooking the sunny waterfront and swaying palm trees, on tables decorated with white tablecloths and pink long-stemmed roses with garlands of green ferns.
The setting was perfect for the election of officers. Jeanne Coughlin presented the slate of officers: President Martha McNaughton, Carol Marshall, Rose Lozano, Beverly Culbertson, Leone Landis and Shirley Nyquist.
SMMC Guild is a fundraising entity of the medical center.
Seen at the scene: Lynette Rausch, leading the prayer; Sheila Hanley, Ginny Oleen, Marian Cormie, Barbara Schor; and guests from the foundation JoAnn Accord, Laura Aguirre and Debra Woods; more invited guests were Karen Henkenius, Bob McNaughton and Lloyd Wilcox.

The Red Butterfly

Murfreesboro, Te...
I made this shirt from some leftover swiss dot material I got from an estate sale a few years ago. I used some of it in a draping class, but luckily I had just enough leftover for this top. This was created because I realized that I had no black summer button downs for work, and thus this was born. I didn't pay any extra money in the creation of this blouse (I got the buttons from a desk ornament I keep at work), so that's a major plus. I embroidered a red butterfly on the left shoulder because I was feeling inspired suddenly by Yuko from xxxHolic (she had a nickname of The Red Butterfly). Overall, a worthy addition to my wardrobe.
Material Notes
Swiss dot fabric, interfacing, 1/4" buttons, embroidery thread, stabilizer

EMF Compare/Release Review/2.0.0
Juno Release Review - EMF Compare 1.3
Laurent Goubet (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Release Review : July 31, 2012
Communication Channel : eclipse.modeling.emf newsgroup
Process Documentation : http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php
Project Plan : http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/compare/project-info/plan-2_0.xml
Release Highlights
EMF Compare 2.0 is a full overhaul of the design, architecture and code of the project. It aims at providing the same functionality as 1.3 did while lifting the limitations that it presented.
New and noteworthy
Architecture Overhaul
The model that constitutes the core of the comparison process has been fully reworked. What was previously split in two (diff.ecore and match.ecore) has now been merged into a single "compare.ecore" which provides all of the core API for EMF Compare. Furthermore, the number of concepts defined by this core model has been drastically reduced as compared to the 1.* stream.
The API in general has been simplified to ease adoption and re-use of EMF Compare in other projects. For example, programmatically launching a comparison can now be done through a single entry point instead of the previous minimum of two.
Do note that the general process of EMF Compare has not been altered : it is still separated into isolated phases. Matching the elements, computing the differences between matched elements, then merging the changes from one side to the other. However, the differencing process itself has been further divided into customizable units : computing the differences, computing the requirements between distinct differences, computing the conflicts between differences...
Standalone Support
Though EMF Compare was already useable in standalone environments, this has been improved further such that the core of EMF Compare is now only comprised of a single plugin that only depends on a very limited set of other plugins.
Comparison Scoping
EMF Compare 2.0 provides the mandatory architecture and API for the project to handle large input models. Though 2.0 only provides a default scope which ends up in the same functionality as the 1.3 release (loading everything in memory and comparing the input models as a whole), this scope can (and will be) used by the subsequent version of EMF Compare, 2.1, to be able to handle extremely large input models.
Performance Enhancements
Some performance bottlenecks of EMF Compare 1.3 have been identified yet cannot be solved without fully re-thinking the comparison process. EMF Compare 2.0 fixes these problems and is generally faster than the 1.* stream even using the default scoping mechanism.
Quality of APIs
The component lead certifies that the requirements for Eclipse Quality APIs have been met for this release. All non-API code is in "internal" packages.
End of Life Issues
EMF Compare 2.0 being a full overhaul of the project, its API is not compatible with its previous 1.* versions. A migration guide will be provided in order to ease the adoption effort to this new version.
All API that was provided by the 1.* stream has been deprecated with the 1.3 release (see the 1.3 End Of Life Issues) and is no longer available in its previously existing state.
The extension points proposed by the 1.3 release have not been ported yet to the 2.* stream, but should be pressent in the subsequent 2.1 release.

Thousands in Romania protest plans for gold mine
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Thousands of people blocked a major road in downtown Bucharest on Sunday to protest plans to create what would be Europe's biggest gold mine.
Protesters marched past government headquarters yelling, "Your treason is measured in gold!" Demonstrations also took place in other cities, including the city of Cluj, where thousands called for the 2,000 year-old site where the open-cast mine will be located to be listed as a UNESCO heritage site.
Canada's Gabriel Resources has been trying to gain permits to go ahead with the planned mine in northwest Romania's town of Rosia Montana for 14 years.
The site has been mined for precious metals since at least Roman times, though work there stopped a few years ago. The Canadian company's approach would be far more efficient and involve razing four mountains. It is expected to fully extricate all the gold and silver in a couple of decades.
The mine is believed to contain 314 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver.
Protests against the plans began after the government sent a law to parliament on Aug. 27 calling on lawmakers to give their support to the controversial project. A vote is expected in the coming weeks.
Opponents of the mine criticize plans to use cyanide in the extraction process, while others say Romania would earn too little from the project.
But supporters argue that the project would create jobs for unemployed miners and provide vital foreign investment to a deprived area. The Canadian company has pledged to protect the environment and historical monuments in Rosia Montana.

The Independent reports on the role payed by "les bloggeurs" in the upcoming French referendum on the EU constitution. For those who are skeptical of the whole EU project, as I am, it's probably good news that the "non" vote seems to be leading. But the "bloggeurs'" chief objection to the EU seems to be that it will disrupt France's decline into self-satisfied irrelevance by promoting Anglo-Saxon free market economics. Would that it were true!

Game Night HD
iOS iPad Games
Game Night is the best companion for family or group game night fun. It has two game play modes and literally over 2200+ words in its database for hours and hours of gaming fun. There are even extra "adult" word category add ons to spice it up a bit for the mature audiences.
Here are the two types of gaming modes:
TIMED MODE – This game mode has a set amount of time to get their team to guess as many words as possible by giving only clues and hints to help them guess the correct word, all before the time runs out. Once the time is up, the team adds up their score according to how many words were correctly guessed and then passes it to the opponent team for their try at a turn.
PASS MODE – This game mode has a set amount of time to get your team to guess one of the words on the screen by giving only clues and hints to help them guess the correct word, all before the time runs out. Once the team guesses the word correctly, they pass it as quickly as possible to the opponent team for their try at guessing another word. The team left holding the device when the time runs out and the buzzer sounds is the loser of that rounds point. So it is a kind of hot potato guessing game, which you can only pass when your team has successfully guessed the word.
Categories of Words Include:
*The World
*Sports & Games
*Stock Symbols
Additional Categories that Can Be Bought thru In-App Purchase Include:
*Urban Dictionary
*Baby Shower
*Wedding Shower
So not matter your group or no matter your family, Game Night is sure to make game night fun for hours and hours.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Persistent worries over slowing Chinese growth and worries over Ukraine weighed on global market sentiment on Wednesday, with U.S. stock index futures posting modest losses after sharp declines in Hong Kong and Tokyo were echoed in Europe.
While gold rose on falling stock prices, China worries crushed copper prices once again, while crude-oil prices were also down sharply.
"Equities, industrial metals and oil all continue to slide amid growing concerns of a Chinese slowdown," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at stock broker Interactive Investor in London.
S&P 500 index futures US:SPH4 fell 5.20 points, or 0.3%, to 1,860, while those for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJH4 dropped 47 points to 16,289. Nasdaq 100 index futures US:NDH4 shed 12.50 points to 3,676.
Plug Power Inc. PLUG, +2.21% shares seesawed in premarket action to trade up 2.8% in recent action. On Tuesday, the fuel-cell supplier's shares dived 42% after Andrew Left of Citron Research said Plug Power shares would be fairly valued at 50 cents. Left called Plug Power a "casino stock" in the report.
Other Wednesday premarket movers included a 9.5% jump in shares of VeriFone Systems Inc. US:PAY which reported better-than-expected earnings and forecast late Tuesday. Oxigene Inc. US:OXGN shares spiked 129% in the wake of a clinical trial that showed increased survival in patients with ovarian cancer.
Wall Street stocks finished lower in a choppy session on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 SPX, -0.31% ending the day 9.55 points, or 0.5%, lower at 1,867.62, retreating again from Friday's record close.
The data calendar for Wednesday is empty, which means investors are likely to look elsewhere for direction. Economic uncertainty out of China, amid lingering fears over a much-weaker-than-expected fall in exports over the weekend, was riding a 1.7% drop for April crude CLJ4, +0.00% May copper US:HGK4 US:HGK4 saw renewed pressure in Asian and European trading hours, but trimmed losses to trade down 0.2% in recent action.
US:HGK4 US:HGK4 A local Chinese-newspaper report overnight indicated China's central bank may respond to slowing loan demand by pumping more money into its banking system.
Shanghai trouble, copper plunges anew
Adding to worries, Shanghai-listed Baoding Tianwei Baobian Electric Co. 600550, -0.29% a power-equipment manufacturer for the new energy sector, slid 5.1% as its corporate bond was suspended for a second day. The company posted a full-year net loss for the second consecutive year, which led to a de-listing warning. That comes on the heels of a Chinese solar-equipment maker, Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology, that failed last Friday to meet interest payments on a bond. US:HGK4
"The spotlight is on China's financial markets and the increased risks for investors. The domino effect of these increased fears has seen emerging markets and commodity companies suffer, whilst safe haven currencies and precious metals extend their gains," O'Keeffe said.
Copper slumped below $3 a pound on Tuesday, a level not seen since July 2010. In addition to fears that a growth slowdown in China could affect copper demand, the metal has also been used as collateral for loan deals and there are fears those could start unwinding. Oil is also vulnerable to signs of weakness out of China. Iron-ore prices have also suffered, and have been used as collateral for financing agreements.
On Wednesday, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index HSI, -1.38% slid 1.7%, while the Nikkei 225 index NIK, -1.87% dropped 2.6% as the yen strengthened against the dollar USDJPY, -0.36% Losses intensified in Europe, where the Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.13% fell 1.2%.
Investors are also concerned that political tensions between Russia and Ukraine will intensify as the March 16 referendum on whether Crimea should belong to Russia draws near. The U.S. and Europe are readying sanctions against Russia, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Russian MICEX index XX:MICEXINDEXCF tumbled 1.9% in Moscow.

Islamabad: Pakistan`s government has halted all state executions temporarily, just a week ahead of the planned hangings of several al Qaeda-linked militants.
Information minister Pervaiz Rasheed said on Sunday that the executions were halted until Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari held talks. The minister says Sharif will see Zardari when the latter returns from a trip abroad.
In 2012, Pakistan carried out its first execution since 2008. The previous government had put in place a moratorium on executions.
Some convicts, including members of an al Qaeda linked Pakistani Sunni militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, were scheduled to be hanged next week.
Amnesty International has said Pakistan has more than 8,000 prisoners on death row, most of whom have exhausted the appeals process, and could now be facing execution.

How much energy are your home appliances using? Oregon Scientific can tell you with the help of a couple gadgets coming out in August or September of this year. The Advanced Wireless Appliance Manager (shown) lets you monitor up to eight appliances with the use of remote sensors. At a glance, you can learn their real-time costs, power consumption, and carbon emissions. The base unit also includes a clock and calendar. It will list for $79.99.
If that's more than you need, check out the Individual Appliance Manager. This single-appliance device plugs into any outlet, and then you plug an appliance into it. Use it to track electricity use, as well as associated costs. I like that it includes a backup power source, so that users can unplug it from an outlet without losing the data they're tracking. The LCD shows energy current, line voltage, and electricity cost. It will list for $29.99.

I have a TrackIR device which I use primarily with Flight Simulator X, and ran into an issue out of the blue. Nothing was changed on my system and it was running fine previously, using version 5.1 of the software. Suddenly when TrackIR would load it would simply say "error" in a dialogue box and then close. To get past this error I discovered that the checkbox under OpenGL Settings called "Triple Buffering" was causing the issue. Simply un-checking the box has made the error go away.
Thus far, even at this writing, version 5.2 of their software has not fixed this glitch. This was with my ATI 5850 card combined with Windows 8 x64 RTM (and the latest Windows updates).

Philadelphia 76ers center Andrew Bynum admitted before Sunday's game with the Cleveland Cavaliers that he might have injured his left knee bowling one week ago Saturday.
"It's the same exact injury, mirror images of the knee; I think it happened bowling, to be honest," Bynum said.
On Friday Bynum, who has been trying to rehabilitate his right knee (bone bruise) told reporters that a trip to see Dr. David W. Altchek in New York revealed that he also has a bone bruise on his left knee and that the cartilage in both knees are in a weakened state.
Late Saturday night, ESPN.com cited multiple sources saying that Bynum had suffered the latest injury – and exacerbated the cartilage situation – while bowling.
Bynum said this was not this was not the first time he as bowled since the start of training camp, when the Sixers announced that he would not participate. Acquired in a four-team trade over the summer, Bynum has yet to play for the Sixers.
On Friday Bynum said he still hopes to return to basketball-related activity by mid-December and hopefully back to playing games by mid January. Bynum last played in an NBA game last May. E
According to Bynum he did not suffer any trauma to the knee.
"I didn't twist it, didn't fall – nothing," Bynum said. "It's weird because I was doing low-impact training and squatting and then I go out and hurt myself like this. It's very frustrating. "
Asked if he knew anything about the bowling situation, Sixers coach Doug Collins said, "no."
Bynum said he noticed swelling in his knees after the injury. He also questioned the wisdom of bowling under the circumstances.
"In hindsight, I guess you really shouldn't go bowling but it's not anything more than what I've done in my rehab," Bynum said.
He then added: "I'm kind of taking the position that if that happens bowling, what happens while dunking?
It is the multi-million dollar question.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has declined to disturb the conviction of former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy on bribery and fraud charges.
The justices had no comment Monday on their order rejecting Scrushy's appeal of his 2006 conviction for arranging $500,000 in donations to former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman's lottery campaign. In return, Siegelman appointed Scrushy to a state hospital regulatory board.
Scrushy argued that he should get a new trial because of judicial and juror bias.
Scrushy served more than five years in prison before his release in 2012. Siegelman, convicted with Scrushy, remains in federal prison.

Suitable for: those looking for affordable
and refreshing mealDespite Angel having a large concentration of restaurants and eateries along Upper Street and Essex Road, there is not a single sushi bar north of City Road and Pentonville Road. Although we first saw Tenshi along Upper Street sometime back but for the longest of time, it seemed to be shut even though there was always a staff milling around within. For one, I thought the name, which literally meant 'Angel' was rather refreshing. Not to mention that I was longing for some lighter tasting food.
We were on our way to Chinatown to do our Chinese New Year shopping over the weekend when we decided to drop by for lunch having read Krista's review on Tenshi the day before.
Upon stepping into Tenshi, we came face to face with the chef who was just walking out of the kitchen cum sushi preparatory counter. "Hi!" I gave him my widest grin but he returned a stony stare and walked past me. To be honest, I had come to realise that Japanese chefs weren't the most sociable of people - that was the case even at Soseki.
The waitress quickly came up to us and with a pleasant smile showed us to our table. With a takeaway sushi counter just beside the kitchen, Tenshi's setup reminded me of a sushi takeaway with seating provided but we found out that it did boost a full menu that included chicken teriyaki rice and katsu curry rice. Knowing that we would be in for a feast for the reunion dinner that night, we opted for a light meal and ordered tempura soba and nigiri set.
I thought that the sushi roll's rice in my nigiri set (£6) was a tad too compact to the point of being hard but I had no issues with the freshness of the accompanying fish, squid and prawns though the texture was somewhat tough. At just over one quid per piece, I couldn't really complain, could I?
Wife was enamoured with her tempura udon (£7.25). "You should try the udon, it's good!" she insisted on passing me some to try. Udon had never been one of my favourite noodles but Tenshi's udon had that silky smooth texture to it. Very nice indeed. The tempura was slightly damp but it was priced at a fraction of that at Mitsukoshi.
All in all, Tenshi with its friendly service, being the only one of its kind in the vicinity of Angel, was defininitely a welcomed addition to the area's culinary scene. If you are looking for an affordable and refreshing meal, Tenshi's the place to go.

Being half Japanese but not able to properly speak the language, I can sympathise with you - i have had very awkward moments eating at those sushi counters in Japan.
I never heard of this place and live very near Upper Street so I will be checking this place out now. Thanks for your review, the pictures look great.

The sushi-chef at Sushi Say always gives me a grin as I walk in. I suspect mainly because I tend to order the toro.

Overheard the staff telling a customer that Tenshi has been opened for 'a couple of months'. Not sure how true that is though. Hmm, really, there's no need to specially come down for this. It's a good place to top up your tank if you're in the area though.
@Wild Boar,
Maybe I stepped in on a bad day. Will give him a wider smile the next time round. :)

I feel like they've only been open since December...it hasn't been long. Either that or I am totally blind! I walk by all the time.
I was pleased with the prices and the general above-average quality. It's not heartbreakingly delicious, but it does the trick!

I'm always interested in cheap and cheerful sushi places around town. Will add this to my list, perhaps a place to settle down after a visit to The Sampler...

Went there for dinner two weeks back and ordered soft shell crab. At 8 quid, the portion is quite sizable. Definitely a good snack if you aren't looking for anything heavy. Why not give it a go the next time you're at Tenshi?
Oh, do let me know what you think of it after your visit. As Krista was saying, it's not fantastic but it does fill a certain niche in the area.
Sampler? Will head towards LondonEater for the review in a bit.
- March 05, 2010
I went there for a quick dinner last night with friends, who craved some sushi. There's not too many sushi places on upper street, so the choice to give it a try was obvious. We had to wait a little and once the food did arrive, but when the food did arrive portions were rather small and the freshness and quirkyness of the dishes somewhat missing. The staff was overfriendly, we couldn't believe the fake smiles all around. The place lacked in quality food, which was very dissapointing, because it certainly felt authentic. Won't be coming back here...

text: NAMI Offers Toolkit to College Students, Faculty, Coaches for Mental Health Education on Campus Nov 07 2013 ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is offering college students and others free tools to increase mental health education on college campuses. The special toolkit also supports the National Dialogue launched by the recent White House Conference on Mental Health. The toolkit is based on NAMI's College Students Speak, a survey report published last year in which college students who experienced mental health problems called for greater education about mental health issues and access to mental health care on campuses. The survey report indicated that stigma surrounding mental illness is the greatest barrier to college students seeking help. The toolkit includes: A PowerPoint presentation titled Raising Mental Health Awareness. A step-by-step guide for a successful lay presentation. Four fact sheets to complement the presentation. Promotional flyers for campus distribution. A template to list local campus mental health resources. Sample social media posts. Video clips of students talking about mental health issues. "The toolkit has everything college students, professors, counselors, coaches and administrators need for lay presentations about mental health issues," said NAMI Executive Director Michael J. Fitzpatrick. "It is a resource for anyone who shares campus mental health concerns." Earlier this year, NAMI developed resources for the North-American Interfraternity Conference and National Pan Hellenic Council, representing fraternities and sororities across the country. A recent study released by Georgetown University Medical Center found that current college athletes have higher rates of depression than athletes who have graduated, pointing to a particular need for mental health awareness among college athletic faculty. In the NAMI survey, 80 percent of students identified mental health training for college faculty and staff as "extremely important." The toolkit is available online at www.nami.org/namioncampus. Free preloaded flash drives are available upon request for students and faculty while supplies last. Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com. As part of the National Dialogue, NAMI also is supporting the National Association of Broadcasters public service campaign, www.ok2talk.org, encouraging young adults to talk about mental health concerns. About NAMI NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI advocates for access to services, treatment, supports and research and is steadfast in its commitment to raising awareness and building a community of hope.

Bea Arthur, Beloved Gay Icon, 1922-2009
Golden Girls star Bea Arthur, née Bernice Frankel, died at home in Los Angeles at the age of 86 today. She passed away surrounded by family members. She will be loudly mourned by the gays.
Her striking frame, raspy voice, and taste for one-liners made her a natural subject for female impersonators. Told of her drag following, Arthur said, "I'm flattered." Her roles as Yente in Fiddler on the Roof, the outspoken Maude Finley of All in the Family and Maude, and most famously, the caustic Dorothy Zbornak of Golden Girls, gained her an avid gay audience. No funeral is planned. In wigs and wisecracks, she will live forever.
Of the four Golden Girls, Arthur is survived by Betty White and Rue McClanahan. None of the three attended costar Estelle Getty's funeral last year. White told Entertainment Tonight:
I knew it would hurt, I just didn't know it would hurt this much.. I'm so happy that she received her Lifetime Achievement Award while she was still with us, so she could appreciate that. She was such a big part of my life.
Update: The cult of Saint Beatrice has begun. Gays are posting this blasphemous Virgin Dorothy mashup in her holy memory:
