Shopping Tips for Reusable Diapers
The issues
Which are the best baby diapers — reusable cloth or disposable diapers? The impacts of diapers, which come from manufacturing, consumer use and disposal, vary significantly depending on whether the product is reusable or disposable. The most important impacts include:
- Water consumption and pollution from manufacturing disposable diapers or growing cotton for reusable cloth diapers.
- Water and energy consumption at home or in a commercial laundry to wash reusable diapers.
- Solid waste from manufacturing and landfill disposal of disposable diapers.
What to look for
Cradle to Cradle certification, which identifies products that have met stringent health and environment standards (requiring ingredient analysis and a life cycle assessment)
Organic cloth reusable diapers or diapers with flushable inserts. Cloth diapers consume more water, but disposables generate more landfill waste. If you have a high efficiency washing machine and know how to use it effectively, organic cloth diapers are estimated to have the lowest overall environmental impact. If you live where fresh water is limited, disposables better preserve regional water resources.
Diapers bleached using a totally chlorine-free (TCF) method.
GoodGuide recommendations
When buying diapers, select the product that works best for you and your baby. Maintaining hygiene and your child's comfort are the most important considerations. From an environmental perspective, reusable and disposable diapers both have significant impacts and neither type has an overwhelming advantage. Do what you can to pick the best baby diapers within either type:
- If you opt for home laundered cloth diapers, reduce your impact by choosing organic cotton products and by using an efficient washing machines with recommended detergent and cold or warm water. Air dry for the smallest environmental footprint.
- If you opt for disposable diapers, select a flushable version to avoid the solid waste impacts of adding diapers to municipal waste streams.

Scoring Personal Care and Household Chemical Products
GoodGuide counts the number of ingredients in each product that are categorized as low, medium or high health concern. We then factor in other negative information (such as regulatory restrictions) and any available positive information (such as third-party certifications) to assign product scores.
To rate a personal care or household chemical product on Health, GoodGuide utilizes the following attributes:
- A health hazard score based on the number of product ingredients that are categorized as low, medium or high health concern.
- Indicators that the product exhibits other negative aspects (e.g., does the product contain ingredients that have been banned or subjected to regulatory restrictions).
- Indicators that the product is among the best on the market in its category (e.g., has the product been certified as safe or healthy by a credible third-party).
- Indicators of data gaps that preclude evaluation of the product (e.g., no or inadequate disclosure of product ingredients).
Product-level data on environmental performance are generally unavailable for personal care and household chemical products, so GoodGuide relies on company-level environmental scores to characterize the performance of a product on this dimension.
Product-level data on social performance are generally unavailable for personal care and household chemical products, so GoodGuide relies on company-level social scores to characterize the performance of a product on this dimension.
Categorizing Ingredients by Levels of Health Concern
Defining Levels of Health Concern
To identify ingredients of health concern, we employ the science of health hazard assessment and rely on lists of chemicals that have been labeled hazardous by various authoritative organizations. GoodGuide tracks whether chemicals are recognized or suspected of causing any of twelve major types of human health problems, ranging from cancer to endocrine toxicity to skin or eye toxicity. We combine this hazard data with information on how potent a chemical is, whether it is frequently detected in humans, and whether it has been adequately studied in toxicity tests in order to assign ingredients to four levels of health concern: none, low, medium and high.
An ingredient raises no health concern if
- It is not on any of GoodGuide's lists of toxic chemicals which cause suspected or recognized health effects;
- It has not been detected in human tissue or urine;
- It is not a high production volume chemical that lacks safety data.
An ingredient raises a low level of health concern if
- It exhibits two or fewer suspected health effects; and/or
- It has a relatively low toxic potency for inhalation and ingestion exposures, and/or
- It is only occasionally detected in human tissue or urine; and/or
- It lacks at least half of the six basic toxicity tests required to assess chemical safety.
An ingredient raises a medium level of health concern if
- It exhibits three or more suspected health effects; and/or
- It has a relatively moderate toxic potency for inhalation and ingestion exposures; and/or
- It is regularly detected in human tissue or urine.
An ingredient raises a high level of health concern if
- It exhibits one or more recognized health effects; and/or
- It has a relatively high toxic potency for inhalation and ingestion exposures; and/or
- It is frequently detected in human tissue or urine
The Difference Between Recognized and Suspected Health Effects
Chemicals are identified as recognized toxicants based on the hazard identification efforts of authoritative national and international scientific and regulatory agencies. To date, such efforts have been focused on only a few types of toxicity: GoodGuide utilizes lists developed under California's Proposition 65 to identify recognized carcinogens, reproductive toxicants, and developmental toxicants. We use a peer-reviewed article in the medical journal Lancet to identify recognized neurotoxicants. Chemicals are listed on Proposition 65 after scientific peer review and regulatory rulemaking, which incorporates the hazard identification efforts of a variety of other authoritative bodies like the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the National Toxicology Program. A substantial weight of toxicological or epidemiological evidence supports the decision to list a chemical as a recognized health hazard under Proposition 65. Stakeholders that believe a chemical does not cause a recognized health effect have the opportunity to argue that the evidence does not support identifying the chemical as a hazard. If a chemical is listed under Proposition 65, such arguments failed to convince neutral scientific and regulatory experts.
Chemicals are identified as suspected toxicants based on reports in the scientific or regulatory literature, or on information abstracted from major toxicological databases. Lists of suspected toxicants are available for twelve health effects. Suspected toxicants possess evidence that they can cause specific adverse health effects, but no authoritative hazard identification is currently conducted by regulatory agencies or scientific organizations for that health effect. Inclusion of a chemical on a "suspected" list should be viewed as a preliminary indication that the chemical may cause this effect, rather than a definitive finding that it does. To identify suspected toxicants, information was abstracted from the principal toxicology text books (such as Casarett and Doull's Toxicology), medical journal articles, regulatory actions, and international chemical hazard resources (such as the European Union). The weight of toxicological or epidemiological evidence supporting suspect hazard identification can vary significantly between chemicals. For example, evidence from two different laboratory species indicates that acetonitrile can cause cardiovascular toxicity. In contrast, there is overwhelming evidence that carbon monoxide causes cardiovascular toxicity in humans. On this website, these differing amounts of evidence both lead to designation as a "suspected" toxicant, because no agency authoritatively compiles lists of cardiovascular toxicants. Identifications made by regulatory agencies or scientific references have often undergone peer review, but no administrative process has occurred that allows debate over the toxicity of a chemical to be resolved conclusively.
Controversial IngredientsGoodGuide separates ingredients into two categories - "ingredients of health concern" and "controversial ingredients." Only the first category contributes to a product's rating. To be labeled an ingredient of concern, the chemical at issue needs to have been identified as a potential health hazard by a source that GoodGuide judges authoritative (e.g., a regulatory agency like EPA or a scientific group like the National Toxicology Program). We do this to make sure our ratings are based on the best available scientific evidence. In some cases, a chemical has not been identified as a hazard by authoritative sources, although it is the subject of current debate as to whether it might have adverse effects. Goodguide labels such chemicals as "controversial" ingredients which a consumer might be interested in avoiding, but because the evidence of hazard is inconclusive, this does not contribute to the product score.
Scoring Methodology
Core Score Components
- Health Hazard Score: Products that contains one or more ingredients that raise a high level of health concern are scored 0 - 1; products that contains one or more ingredients that raise a medium level of health concern are scored 2 – 4; products that contains four or more ingredients that raise a low level of health concern are scored 5 – 6; products that contains one to three ingredients that raise a low level of health concern are scored 7-8; and products that contain no ingredients of concern are scored 10.
- Other Negative Aspect Score: Products that contain an ingredient that has been banned from that category by regulatory agencies in the U.S., Canada, Japan or the European Union score 0. Products that contain an ingredient that is being targeted for elimination by regulatory agencies also score 0. Scores for products that contain an ingredient that is subject to regulatory restrictions in a category are capped at 8 unless the product label or its manufacturer provides data documenting that the product is in compliance with the applicable restriction.
- Product Management Score: Products that have been certified as safe or healthy by a credible third-party (e.g., EPA Design for the Environment) score 10. If the relevant certification has involved a comprehensive evaluation and approval of a product's formulation, those ingredients' contribution to a product's Health Hazard Score will also be suppressed.
Adjusting Scores to Account for Data Gaps
GoodGuide adjusts a product's health score if information is missing that is required to evaluate its potential impact. Our health hazard evaluation requires 1) a complete list of a product's ingredients (with sufficient detail about chemical identity to allow ingredients to be checked against hazard lists) and 2) information about the percent composition of a product (to characterize potential exposures and evaluate compliance with regulatory restrictions). Unfortunately, manufacturers are generally not required to provide both of these types of information for most consumer products.
1) Adjustment for products that lack full ingredient data. For household chemical products, there is no current regulatory requirement that companies disclose full ingredient lists. For personal care products, ingredient disclosure is required, although it may include generic ingredient names that are not specific enough to support hazard evaluation. To create an incentive for full ingredient disclosure, GoodGuide caps a product's score if it lacks complete ingredient data or lists generic names that do not support chemical-specific evaluations. The caps applied are described in the following table:
|Rating Cap
|Amount of Ingredient Information Available
|No information available
Some ingredient information available, but list includes generic categories (e.g., surfactants) that are not sufficiently specific to identify actual ingredients
|All ingredients are disclosed with the exception of fragrance, which is listed as a generic category
All ingredients are disclosed including fragrance constituents (or the company warrants that its fragrance is formulated in compliance with strict European Union requirements and contains no phthalates or parabens)
2) Adjustment for products that lack percent composition data. For household chemical products and most personal care products (with the exception of sunscreens), there is no current regulatory requirement that companies disclose percent composition data. This precludes evaluating whether a product is a potentially significant source of exposure to a chemical (e.g., presence of an ingredient at less than 0.1% of a formulation is unlikely to pose a risk, while presence of that ingredient at 10% of a formulation could be a significant source of human exposure). The absence of percent composition data also complicates the evaluation of whether a product is in compliance with applicable regulatory restrictions. Both regulatory agencies and trade associations manage the potential health risks of products by defining thresholds below which an ingredient is deemed safe as used (e.g., use of an ingredient is acceptable provided that it does not exceed 5% of a product's formulation). Unless a product label discloses the percent composition data required to evaluate compliance, GoodGuide caps a product's score at 8 if it contains ingredients that have been restricted by regulatory agencies or trade associations.
Adjusting Scores if Ingredients are "Below Threshold"
GoodGuide adjusts a product's health score upward if information indicates that an ingredient does not pose a health or regulatory concern as it is used in a product. This adjustment has the effect of suppressing the contribution of that ingredient to the product's health score. Such adjustments are indicated in the "Product Ingredient List" section of GoodGuide product pages with a "Below Threshold" icon and an explanation of the basis for suppressing an ingredient. Scores may be adjusted for the following reasons:
- An authoritative third-party (such as EPA's Design for the Environment program) has reviewed a product and approved its formulation.
- An authoritative third-party (such as a regulatory agency) has reviewed the ingredient and determined that its use in a certain type of product (e.g., rinse-off hair products) does not result in significant exposure or health risk.
- Percent composition data indicate the level of the ingredient is below the most stringent regulatory or trade association threshold level that defines safe use; the applicable threshold is not the subject of substantial critique in regard to its health protectiveness; and the ingredient is not authoritatively linked to a health endpoint expected to pose low dose risk.

|Sticky Tag:
src/save.lisp: o Add new search-list "ld-library-path:" which contains the value of the environment variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH". src/foreign.lisp: o Modify LOAD-FOREIGN so that we will try to load a single file as a shared library first. If that fails, we try loading it as an object file. We do not try to see if the library exists (via probe-file or anything). Instead we let dlopen do whatever it would normally do to find the file, including searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH. o REINITIALIZE-GLOBAL-TABLE now has a few restarts to allow the user to decide what to do if a shared library cannot be found. The restarts are ignoring the problem, trying to reload the file again, or specifying a new path. o REINITIALIZE-GLOBAL-TABLE is placed on EXT:*AFTER-SAVE-INITIALIZATIONS* now.
Add support for multi-arch (fat) shared libs for ppc. (From James Bielman, cmucl-imp, 2005-09-21.)
Revert previous change so we don't call truename on the given file. However, for logical pathnames, call translate-logical-pathname to get a usable pathname that dlopen can understand.
* code/foreign.lisp (load-object-file): Take the truename of FILE in case we're given a logical pathname.
This commit adds the remainder of the outstanding PPC/Darwin port merge. Besides support for Darwin foreign loading, and updates to the ppc-vm and bsd-os files, this commit removes unix:unix-errno as a foreign variable and replaces it with a function named unix-errno, and a (setf unix-errno). This makes both glibc support cleaner, and enables ports like PPC/Darwin (and the upcoming win32 port) which have no easy way of accessing errno as a foreign variable able to support this functionality at all. The current implementation of this is rather make-shift, it would likely be much cleaner to go the SBCL way and mediate all access to errno via defined functions in the C runtime. As an interim feature, the frobbing of the float-trap-modes is currently commented out for Darwin because of ongoing breakage.
Changes from Robert Swindells to support NetBSD.
Fixes to REINITIALIZE-GLOBAL-TABLE: ignore invalid entries in the *GLOBAL-TABLE*, and reload files in the same order as they were initially loaded. From Lynn Quamm.
Fix for EXT:LOAD-FOREIGN: LDEMULATION environment variable passed to linker via EXT:RUN-PROGRAM should be a keyword, not a string. From Immanuel Litzroth.
On Linux/AMD64, we need to tell the platform linker to use the 32-bit linking mode instead of the default 64-bit mode. This can be done either via the LDEMULATION environment variable, or via the "-m" command-line option. - in EXT:LOAD-FOREIGN, add LDEMULATION=elf_i386 to the environment inherited by the linker This assumes that the LDEMULATION environment variable will be ignored by the platform linker on Linux/i386 platforms.
Change the behaviour of EXT:LOAD-FOREIGN when called with a single shared library: call SYS::LOAD-OBJECT-FILE directly, without invoking the linker as previously. This should make it possible to support the reloading of dependent shared libraries upon startup of a saved image. The new behaviour requires a function FILE-SHARED-LIBRARY-P to be defined. I have provided an implementation that works for ELF platforms. This has been tested with Linux/x86 and Solaris/SPARC, but is also enabled by conditionalization for :bsd (should include FreeBSD and OpenBSD). Also removed pmax support. IRIX and HPPA platforms will need to provide a definition for F-S-L-P.
* src/code/foreign.lisp (load-object-file): Print more informative error messages. From Lynn Quam, on cmucl-imp.
Fix system::alternate-global-address to actually pass the right argument to dlsym (FreeBSD port). This may be source of some segfault reports while trying to use foreign functions.
Fix foregin object braindamage noted by Pierre Mai.
On x86 FreeBSD and Linux, change the way foreign symbol addresses are resolved. They now go through a table -- effectively a new space in the core file. Function references are resolved lazily, data references are resolved on startup and when a .so is loaded. The end result is that cores can be dumped that contain references to symbols in shared libraries. Also, the dependence of the core on addresses in the Lisp runtime is broken. The linkage table feature is controlled by :linkage-table and LINKAGE_TABLE in C runtime. Several foreign symbols are now Lisp static symbols, so a cross compile is required whether or not the new stuff is used. I've checked in boot4-cross-foreign-linkage.lisp that builds the compiler for linkage table; do whatever you usually do for the non-linkage table case:) Seriously, lets start a discussion on standardizing "cross compilation," not to mention the general build procedure.
Changed the OpenBSD port to use dlopen+ld for FFI linkage, like current Linux and FreeBSD/ELF do, although OpenBSD is still non-ELF. Also changed the handling of leading underscores in alien names, by moving the underscore addition to extern-alien-name, where it belongs, and not foreign-symbol-address-aux. This brings the x86 port in line with the other ports, modulo the PVE_stub_ magic. The changes necessitate some bootstrapping code for BSD non-ELF platforms.
Fixed #+ conditional so object file loading for the Elf static FreeBSD case isn't built on other OSs.
Support for dynamic loading in FreeBSD 4.0 and later. This involves moving the static space up, so a cross-compile is required to bootstrap these changes.
Made the checking of ELF OS/ABI information compliant with the ELF specification. This should fix at least some foreign loading issues on current FreeBSD.
Added specialised port to NetBSD (1.5.2) on x86. Since the code-base was already cleaned up with the OpenBSD port, this doesn't require massive changes. Since current NetBSD is ELF-based by default, we don't make use of the ELF feature, or in other words: The presence of the NetBSD feature implies ELF, since there is no support for non-ELF NetBSD.
Added specialised port to OpenBSD (2.9). Many parts of the original code which were previously conditionalized on :FreeBSD, are now conditionalized on :BSD instead, with the :BSD feature now implying a 4.4BSD(lite2) derived OS. This should make future BSD-ports easier. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are differentiated by having either :FreeBSD or :OpenBSD on the features list. Currently the OpenBSD port does not have working ELF support, because OpenBSD 2.9 is still non-ELF by default. So don't put ELF on the features list when building for OpenBSD, or fix the code to work correctly in this case instead.
This change causes archives passed as a file argument to load-foreign to be loaded in-full, which is the only useful behaviour when trying to link with static libraries. Currently this change only corrects the situation for Linux and Solaris, since I don't know the relevant flags for other platforms, and/or don't have access to machines for testing.
Add :verbose option to load-foreign to honor *load-verbose*. (From Stig Erik Sandoe)
o Signal an error if a file given to load-foreign is not found. Suggested by Colin Walters.
The library files given to load-foreign are for input and unix-namestring needs to try and verify their existence otherwise search paths will not be enumerated and the files may not be found.
Add support for FreeBSD-ELF systems (FreeBSD version 3.x and 4.x). Based on a contribution from Fred Gilham. Conditionalized by #+(and freebsd elf). A new version of library:load-foreign.csh is included in this code as a comment.
Revise the address map to better utilise the address space, allowing larger heaps and stacks: * There is now the potential for up to 2.75GB dynamic space on FreeBSD, and 1.75GB on linux. Since GENCGC statically allocates page tables the default size is set at just 1GB. * The Read-only and Static spaces have been increased to 256MB allowing larger heaps to be purified. The Read-only and Static spaces are in the same locations for both the FreeBSD and Linux ports to avoid unnecessary binary incompatibility. * The Control stack and Binking stack now have room for upto 128MB, supporting deeply nested algorithms, and potentially giving room for subdivision for thread stacks. * There is a reserve for the FreeBSD static libraries in the event that the FreeBSD lisp binary is dynamically linked, and the foreign segment size for FreeBSD is now 32MB, up from just 4MB. * There is now significantly more room for C allocated memory, roughly 128M on Linux and 224M on FreeBSD.
Update for the linux port from Peter VanEynde, adds preliminary support for glibc2.
Move the definition of *global-table* before its first reference to avoid a compiler warning.
Cleanup the handling of foreign symbols on the x86 port. Have the FreeBSD port add the "_" prefix at load time rather than compile time so that both the linux and freebsd binaries are compatible. Define an x86 specific version of foreign-symbol-address-aux to do this mapping.
From: Timothy Miller <email@example.com> Ok, here are the updated patches to make the same cmucl lisp.core work across OS versions under irix, still by making tzname resolved at runtime (on irix only).
I just finished making load-foreign work on SGIs, along with fixing calling of foreign functions taking floating-point arguments after integer arguments but before the fourth argument (more or less; mips has unusual C calling conventions), and making cmucl work on IRIX 6.2 on the Onyx (where the system page size has changed). I've included the patches below, along with some discussion of the changes and a couple of problems with cmucl's interaction with dynamic loading. Also, there's a misc change to make ioctls work (I'm not sure for what version the released code worked, but it doesn't work on anything I have). The patches do not fix the R10000; cmucl continues to not work on it (O2 and Octane). The fixes make cmucl on the sgi use shared libraries so it can use dlopen et al in load-foreign; this is based on the solaris implementation. The problem with this is that the addresses of foreign variables are included directly in the dumped lisp image (without relocation on loading), which might result in a problem if cmucl is run with newer shared libraries than those it was compiled and dumped with. As far as I can tell, for the SGI at least, this does not affect function calls because the addresses used (and included in the dumped image) are those of stub routines that jump to the actual routines, thus are located in the executable proper rather than in the shared libraries, and so shouldn't be changed by a new version of the shared library. Unfortunately, this is not the case for global variables. Fortunately, there appear to only be two foreign variables used by cmucl in any of its system code winding up in the dumped image: errno and tzname. Apparently, Solaris relocates data references in dsos to match the program, while IRIX relocates data references in the program to match the dso. Thus, on Solaris, you don't need to do anything special for cmucl to work with a newer runtime libc, but on IRIX it gets the wrong value of errno and tzname. Unfortunately, the address of errno is different between irix 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 (all of which we have to have because SGI doesn't have a single cross-platform OS version yet), which would require a different lisp.core for each machine (you just need to run mk-lisp, not recompile) if it weren't for the hack below. But fortunately again, a lisp compiled for one version seems to be able to run on another version well enough to generate the new lisp.core (presumably the worst that would happen is that error messages could be confusing). It would be really nice to avoid this problem. Perhaps some kind of relocation table could be added to the dumped image format? I don't know enough about the system to know how possible or ridiculous that suggestion is, unfortunately. Is the Solaris behavior guaranteed to be the same in future releases? If not, or if any other platforms have the irix behavior, this might become a more general problem. In the meantime, we use a hack: we *define* errno in undefineds.c rather than just referencing it; this results in warnings from the linker, but it resolves the conflict in favor of the definition in the program, relocating libc to match, thus fixing this problem for errno. The other global variables, tzname et al, can't be fixed this way as easily because they're listed as weak symbols, essentially aliases for the real symbol, so redefining them wouldn't cause libc to reference the new version. Thus, as long as you don't use tzname, there's no problem right now (although there may be if any other library global variables are used in cmucl in the future). The definition of tzname is in a progn preceeded by a comment which says not to use it, so hopefully it's not in fact used and therefore not a problem. These patches have been tested on an R5000 O2 running irix 6.3 and a dual R4400 Onyx running irix 6.2. A previous version of these patches (for 17f) was tested on the onyx when it was running 5.3 (I think, maybe 5.2). The patches here are from the main branch of the CVS tar as of August 13. Incidentally, it was quite painful figuring out how to compile and bootstrap the current sources under the distributed irix 18a binary, even without trying :new-random or :signed-array (which I haven't tried to do yet); it might be nice to put a newer binary up...
Fix FORMAT directive in call to temporary-pathname.
Patches from Simon for the MIPS IRIX port: hacks for foreign functions which are not yet supported; hack for errno; signed-array support.
Werkowskis source kit 1.03.7
Use cmucl.orig, not lisp.orig, on hp-ux.
Added some code on HPux to test for the correct magic number, since we get confused if some object formats are used (like seems to be generated by gcc.) Also, use library:lisp.orig as the base file on hpux.
Fix headed boilerplate.
Merge solaris patches.
Support for HPPA from TSM.
Increment *foreign-segment-free-pointer* by the round-up-to-page value. I'm pretty sure this was the intent, since that amount was already being allocated.
Use unix-namestring on each file before passing it to the linker to get rid of search lists.
Moved foreign-segment-{start,size} from mumble-os.lisp into foreign.lisp.
Changed default base file name for load-foreign to be the name used to run lisp, and not "lisp".
Changed LOAD-FOREIGN to be exported from ALIEN. Changed it have keyword args instead of optionals. Deleted obsolete linker argument.
Don't use MACH:VM-ALLOCATE, because we might not be running under mach. Use ALLOCATE-SYSTEM-MEMORY-AT instead.
Added a ``mach:'' in front of gr-call*.
Merged new-alien changes onto trunk.
Changed to use search-lists instead of absolute pathnames for finding the linker, etc.
Use get-page-size instead of vm_statistics. Moved foreign-segment-XXX constants to XXX-os.
New file header with RCS header FILE-COMMENT.
Put load-foreign back into the EXT package.
Totally re-written for the new system.
Changed to use pointer< and sap+ instead of >= and + when operating on saps.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Hey, I'm back in!
Thanksgiving is considered the perfect holiday at our house. On a very superficial level, it is because I live with 2 turkey hounds! (3 turkey hounds if you include the dog.) They never get sick of turkey. In fact, we ran out on Monday, but thanks to a good friend who donated her leftovers, my guys are happily back in turkey sandwiches. Thanksgiving is also a holiday that is rather casual and there are no gifts involved. Perfect.
Seriously though, Thanksgiving is a great time to stop and contemplate our many blessings. This year I had to give a special thank you to God for His provision of steady employment for my husband. It is humbling to realize you are blessed when some around you are struggling. I am also so grateful to have been born into a loving family and a Christian home in America.
No Global Warming? One less thing to worry about? Don't count on it
Nearly 2 weeks ago, hackers broke into the computers at Britain's Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. This was important because the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, IPCC, uses the CRU as their source for data.
The hackers then posted over 1,000 emails and 72 documents on the internet revealing how the CRU was suppressing data that showed there was no warming of the planet:
"Those e-mails involved communication among many scientific researchers and policy advocates with similar ideological positions all across the world. Those purported authorities were brazenly discussing the destruction and hiding of data that did not support global-warming claims."
The British press is up in arms over this. Brits are, after all, ahead of us on the Carbon Tax parade. In the U.S., there has not been much coverage.
In fact, as far as President Obama is concerned, it seems it is global warming business as usual.
Despite this huge nail in the global warming coffin hitting the press 2 weeks ago, President Obama still met with Indian and Chinese leaders last week, to coax them "one step closer" to climate deal:
"US President Barack Obama said Tuesday [Nov. 24, 2009] the world has moved 'one step closer' to a 'strong operational agreement' on climate change at next month's Copenhagen summit after his talks with Indian and Chinese leaders."
And Obama is still planning on attending the beginning of that U.N. climate meeting in Copenhagen on Dec. 9th.
Why? Global Warming is big business, can be used to implement new taxes and will control people's behaviors.
"Obama has made climate change a top priority of his administration..." The President still wants Cap and Trade to pass early next year.
In light of this new information, that the planet isn't warming, one would hope the push for taxing and controlling carbon emissions would be halted.
American scientist John Christy was was criticized in the hacked emails for asking that IPCC reports include dissenting points of view. He wrote, "It's disconcerting to realize that legislative actions [Cap and Trade] this nation is preparing to take, and which will cost trillions of dollars, are based upon a view of climate that has not been completely scientifically tested."
Disconcerting indeed. Granted, there hasn't been much about this from the mainstream media in the U.S. If only our President would check the Drudge Report once in a while!

I don't often quote Jon Stewart, but "Poor Al Gore" cancels Copenhagen
You know an issue has traction when the the lib comics start jabbing their own on the left. This week, Comedian Jon Stewart threw this zinger at Global Warming Guru Al Gore. (I don't watch Jon, but Vicki McKenna mentioned it on her radio program. It is funny--raunch removed):
"Poor Al Gore, global warming completely debunked by the very Internet you invented. OH, OH the irony, the irony."
He also chided the CRU for throwing out raw data.
"But here's what's great about science, in disagreements we go back and look at the raw data (clip showing data destroyed) ... ...Why would you throw out raw data from the 80's?...", after all, he still has his girlie magazines from the 1970s!
This morning, I learned** that the Guru himself, Al Gore, CANCELED his special Copenhagen $1,209/ticket book promo, photo op, and snack with Al event!
The Danish ticket coordinator stated, "'great annoyance' was a factor in the cancellation, along with unforseen changes in Mr. Gore's program for the climate summit." Gore's cancellation affects 3,000 believers, um, make that ticket holders.
"Great annoyance"? "Unforseen changes in Mr. Gore's program"? Could it be Mr. Gore doesn't know how to incorporate eating crow into his slide presentation?
Al Gore's credibility was already on thin ice. Remember Gore has photo-shopped some of his pictures for greater affect in his movie and on his book cover. He won't debate any naysayers--he says he will, but then he cancels. And he will not answer pointed questions. Most recent example, when Gore was in Madison, WI, he would not respond to a simple question about polar bears being considered threatened when their population is growing*.
Whatever you might believe about man-made global warming, this latest cancellation is HUGE. Certainly in a crowd of 3,000 believers, willing to pay $1,200 just for the privilege of being in his presence, Gore was on friendly turf.
The man made global warming believers will still believe because it is a religion, not science, but canceling was a major faux pas, in my opinion. As any religious leader knows, you don't disappoint the faithful.

Do you celebrate St. Nick on Dec. 6th? It's very Milwaukee
Did you grow up celebrating St. Nicholas' Day? If so, you know to hang your stocking by the chimney on the eve of Dec. 5th!
St. Nicholas or St. Nick is relatively unknown in most of the United States. He was a Christian Bishop living in the Roman Empire in the early 300s AD. The holiday is a German custom and very much part of being a Milwaukeean.
When I was a little girl, we didn't celebrate Santa on Christmas morning, but we did enjoy hanging a clean sock up on the eve of Dec. 5th. Since we didn't have a fire place. we improvised by hanging our socks on the drawer handles of the mahogany knee hole desk. Hey, it kind of looked like a fire place!
It was always fun the next morning to see what mom and dad put into our stockings. Sometimes we would get a stuffed animal; sometimes golden foiled chocolate coins*--those were always intriguing. Once they forgot all about St. Nick until we hung up our socks. That year we got bags of home-popped popcorn, a pack of gum? and some quarters.
Why the chocolate coins? If you know the St. Nicholas story, you would know that he was said to have thrown money through an open window of a poor family's home, during the night. The family was poor and had no dowry money for their 3 daughters. Having no dowry back then meant they probably wouldn't marry, which also meant they would be sold as slaves or go into the oldest profession. The money was said to have landed on their socks and shoes drying by the hearth. It is interesting to me that he did this secretly--no pompous show of his generosity.
In remembering St. Nicholas' Day, oranges or apples often were given. They were to represent the gold St. Nick gave. That is why an orange frequently was put into the toe of a Christmas or St. Nick stocking. (Oranges used to be pricey fruit before the days of improved transportation and considered a real treat.)
I kept the St. Nick tradition alive with my son too. Unlike Santa's visit, which occurs on Christmas Eve, St. Nick occurs early in the month. There is no confusion for children as to where St. Nick fits into the nativity story. (It is rather like celebrating George Washington's birthday with cherry pie.) St. Nicholas Day is a just-for-fun holiday commemorating a real person, who was known for his kindness and good work. No need for all the tall tales, deceit, and subterfuge about how St. Nick is omniscient or makes it all around the world in one night delivering presents to good boys and girls.
No, St. Nicks can be celebrated and enjoyed in the full light of the truth and used to illustrate an important biblical truth that it is more blessed to give than receive. In fact, you could incorporate a secret good deed for a needy family as part of your celebration with your children.
Giving, rather than receiving, after all, is a message we all need to remember every day of the year.
Have a happy St. Nicholas Day!
St. Nick's Day Can be a Nice Little Surprise Milwaukee Journal, 1999 - Lots of nostalgia about Winkies and Drews Variety stores. (I still love to visit Winkies in Whitefish Bay!)
My favorite cucumber and tomato, aka Larry and Bob at Veggietales, tell a St. Nicholas story of sorts in their latest DVD: Saint Nicholas, A story of joyful giving. I have not seen it, but I do enjoy those Veggies.
*I got my chocolate coins this year at Aldi. They also had them in silver. The coin design was the Kennedy half dollar. Some years I have found foreign coins in various sizes. I liked these the best and threaded a gold thread through them to hang on my Christmas tree--as pictured. Gold was after all one of the gifts the Magi brought to baby Jesus.
Gold chocolate coins are also used for Hanukkah celebrations as the "Gelt"?
So glad to be back on the grid!
What a difference a day makes! Yesterday morning we were into hour 12 of being without electricity. The previous night, the power flicked 3 times and then went off around 9pm, right in the middle of cookie baking. At least I had just finished baking one batch and hadn't started another.
We did the usual scramble for flashlights and candles and then decided we might as well turn in for the night.
I did pick up our corded phone to call in to WE Energies. Oops, we have VOIP, no phone! Got out the cell phone and made the call, only to hear a long explanation how 16,000 homes were out of power and they would be repairing as quickly as safely possible. I did not listen to the entire message because it seemed to just drone on about the crisis and didn't have an option to report an outage.
We slept OK because we keep our bedroom rather chilly anyway. The next morning I had to attend to the number one concern: COFFEE. Fortunately I had some ground already so I made a makeshift cup atop of our propane single burner rig. Ahhh, now I felt ready to face the day.
Called WE Energies again. This time I got a new message of 25,000 people out of power...they were calling in private contractors to help restore power... etc. etc. Again, I did not wait until the end, because cell phone battery life was a concern.
Second item of business was to make friends with the snow-blower. I got out my detailed instructions and prayed it would start easily for me on a slow pull start. It did! (It has electric start, but that was not an option.)
Called WE Energies after doing most of the driveway. This time they were down to 9,000 people out of power and estimates were restoration by noon for Milwaukee County and, gasp, midnight for Waukesha. Argh.
While I was searching for something to eat without opening the refrigerator, I noticed the dog was shivering in the house. Put his sweater on. Had an interesting lunch of walnuts, rye bread, and an apple.
Went back outside for shovel clean-up and hauled some wood in for a fire. The temperature was supposed to drop later; I figured I better be prepared.
Finished the snow clean up and came in. I happily found some ground decaf coffee for a second cup! Got the fire going and threw in 2 foil wrapped potatoes for supper.
After that, I called my sister, who volunteered to try to call WE Energies again for me. She actually listened to the entire message, this one included information about Kenosha County, and found there was an opportunity to report an outage at the very end of the message. She reported ours and then called me back to report they were now saying power might no be restored until noon Thursday!
Oh-oh, I better get more wood in, I thought, if we had another day to go without heat.
My other half came home around 6pm. He called WE Energies and on the first ring, got a live body!!! After relaying the events of our outage, which indicated a re-closer trip (like circuit breaker on the transformer) was the likely culprit. He told the worker that it probably only needed resetting. (Our neighborhood has had trouble with it before.)
Ate a dinner of canned beef stew and our fireplace baked potatoes amid a table full of lit candles. Not bad. (I am still in my coat, boots, and headband from shoveling. It was bulky but warm.)
Somewhere around 7:30pm, the lights came back on! Yippee!!! The furnace and refrigerator kicked in; we were back to business as usual. I promptly turned the oven on; the cookie marathon must go on!
There is nothing like a power outage to make one appreciate the conveniences we all take for granted. We live with more conveniences than Henry the 8th ever had!
I often think of Laura Ingalls in her book, The Long Winter (inspired by her life), when I start feeling sorry for myself when dealing with the cold and snow. In her book, Laura and her sister Mary had to twist up sticks of hay non-stop to keep the fire going, because they ran out of firewood. Food was also very short. They nearly died during that winter.
I also think of Abraham Lincoln, who read by firelight. You really have to want to read to do that. I couldn't manage it even with a table full of candles.
How about the wonders of hot, running water? A hot shower is a blessing I have appreciated ever since the specter of Y2K threatened that basic part of every day life in America.
Our 22 hours without power reminded me that I could be better prepared to deal with power outages. Keeping food that is ready to eat, or with minimal cooking, water, candles, lamp oil, fire wood or duraflame logs, and propane lanterns (they throw a fair amount of heat), stoves and heaters are things we all should have on hand.
We managed pretty well for our 22 hour ordeal, if you don't count all the times I flicked on the light switches to no avail. Can't say I want to repeat it though!
Christmas at Brookside: CHRISTMAS MUSICAL tonight and Sunday
Looking for something to get you into the Christmas spirit tonight or tomorrow? How about Brookside Baptist Church's CHRISTMAS MUSICAL?
If you've ever wondered if Christ's birth or becoming a Christian really makes any difference, this year's Christmas Musical might help answer those questions. The musical includes "real people telling the real meaning of Christmas" interwoven throughout the program.
One of the many things I enjoy at Brookside is the music. Their choir programs, accompanied by their orchestra, have always been excellent. If last Sunday's preview is any indication, this weekend's presentation will not disappoint.
Brookside Baptist Church is easy to find on Pilgrim Road, just south of Lisbon, in Brookfied. Directions
The program begins at 5pm on Saturday night and 6pm on Sunday. There is a reception after the performance. (Brookside is also known for it's good food!)
I plan to be there Sunday night. See you there?
Code Red Rally: Over the river, through the woods, to Washington DC they go!
Americans for Prosperity is hosting a Code Red Rally today, at our nation's Capitol at 1:30pm. Patients First is also organizing buses for the day. Both groups are helping people organize for one reason: to tell the Senate to "keep their hands off our health care".
All I can say is more power to them.
As AFP stated, "The number 1 reason Congress has taken this long on this issue is YOU," the protester. I have to agree. It is only the growing outcry of average Americans who attended Tea Parties and Town Halls and now Capitol steps rallies that have delayed what President Obama hoped would pass last summer.
What a time to be taking time off work or from the scurry of Christmas preparations to go to a rally! The weather certainly isn't conducive to spending time outdoors either. But people are concerned about the government federalizing 1/6th of our economy by taking over the health care industry, so they will show up. I will be watching Drudge and sites like Michelle Malkin for updates today.
Harry Reid's ObamaCare bill changes moment by moment. Yesterday, the pundits were declaring it in critical condition, because Lieberman wouldn't vote for something that included the public option of expanded Medicare. Well, that no longer seems to be a problem. The goal is, after all, to just get anything passed.
Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska earlier said he wouldn't vote for something that included taxpayer funded abortion... well, maybe now he would... for a price. The compensation arm-twisting is in full force. Malkin wrote, "A Hill source says to pay attention to Sen. Ben Nelson. He is reportedly being threatened with closure of an air force base if he doesn't fall in line and will be offered a "blank check" bribe bigger than Sen. Landrieu's."
The CBO was to give their score of Reid's bill, but which one? The one that includes expanding Medicare? The one that covers abortion? The one that allows importing prescription drugs? This bill changes faster than a runway model!
Senate Republicans are balking. WSJ: "Republicans decried the Democratic deal making, and urged the majority party to slow action on legislation they contended will undermine the U.S. economy."
Senator John McCain summed it up well, "'Whether expansion of Medicare is in or out...doesn't affect the core problem with this legislation, which is that it does not reduce costs' and increases the size of government."
Those of us who stay home can at least call our senators along with the key players:
Sen. Russ Feingold, up for reelection! 202-224-5323 Feingold said last weekend that he was "opposed to dropping the public option completely and that he was not yet committed to supporting the bill."
Sen. Herb Kohl: 202-224-5653
Find your Senator here
Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska: 202-224-6551 Nelson didn't want taxpayer money to fund abortion but now is threatened with an air force base closure in his state.
Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota: 202-224-2551 Dorgan is pushing for re-importation of prescription drugs from Canada and other countries, which would go against the drug companies deal made earlier.
Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut: 202-224-4041 Very early on, Lieberman said that because of the economy, he didn't think this was the time for a government insurance company or opt out provision. He is being threatened with loss of position if he doesn't vote for it. Even his wife's breast cancer cause is catching flack.
Sen. Olympia Snowe: 202-224-5344 Who can figure out where she really stands, but she and Collins the weak links among the Republicans.
Sen. Susan Collins: 202-224-2523 Collins is the other wishy-washy Republican.
You might want to remind them that in the latest CNN poll, 61% of Americans oppose this Senate health care bill, 79% say it would INCREASE the deficit, and 85% believe it will increase their taxes. These numbers are growing all the time.
I'm hoping Reid can't get the votes to pass his version of ObamaCare, but the president is calling senators to the White House for the royal arm-twisting today.
I also hope and pray thousands show up today to protest. All I can say is, God bless 'em, everyone.
'Tis the season...for campaigning: Coon & Vukmir
Amid all the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparation, some people are preparing for something else: The 2010 elections! Tomorrow evening is Rep. Leah Vukmir's Christmas Party (see bottom of post); yesterday was David Coon's Christmas Open House.
Last night, I stopped in at David Coon's Open House. David lives in my neighborhood and is running for Rep. Leah Vukmir's vacant 14th District Assembly seat in the Wisconsin legislature.
Our paths had crossed during the Bush campaign (he was the contact for yard signs), so I was at least familiar with his name. He told me he started getting involved with politics when he worked on the Kasten campaign when he was just 17 years old. He has been a member of the Waukesha County Republican Party for over 20 years.
Before I went to his home, I had looked at his website: Davidcoonstateassembly.com and found he is not just a Republican, but a solid conservative. After meeting and speaking with him, I thought he was well versed in the issues important to me.
Contact David Coon firstname.lastname@example.com
Address: 955 Garvens Ave.
Brookfield WI 53005
I know there are others throwing their hat in the ring, but I have not looked into their candidacies yet--I am just getting started.
Tomorrow evening, Leah Vukmir is hosting a Christmas Party at Alioto's from 5:30 to 8:30pm. Radio host Jay Weber will be there too. Jay is breaking a long-standing rule of his not to do these sort of events, but he is making an exception for Leah! (Email email@example.com or call 414-759-1100 for more information.) I don't usually attend these types of things, but I hope to stop in to wish her well.
Vukmir, as most know by now, is running for liberal Democrat Jim Sullivan's 5th District State Senate seat in November. All I can say is, more power to her! Leah is a solid conservative and not afraid to stand up for her beliefs.
On a very local level, I spotted my first mayoral race campaign sign. It was for David Marcello. (I am not supporting David, just reporting that I spotted a sign.)
So you see, it 'tis the season for campaigning too.

On Thursday and Friday mornings, I will travel back in time to ancient Bethlehem to participate in Elmbrook Church's Bethlehem Marketplace. This will mark my 4th time working in Bethlehem.
I have worked in the weavers and dyers booth as well as the spice shop before, but this year I am going to try my hand as an apothecary and do a bit of gossiping in town too. (I guess the gossip was the ancient version of blogging?)
Last 2 chances to "stuff" Tom Wacker's Salvation Army Red Kettle
I almost forgot to blog about this, but there is still time to help out. Brookfield resident Tom Wacker is ringing the bell again for the Salvation Army at the Pick 'n Save at 17630 W. Bluemound Road, Saturday from noon to 3pm and Tuesday, Dec. 22, from 6 - 9pm.
Tom does a topnotch job manning the red kettle; he is a real pro. Here is what Tom had to say about the Salvation Army:
"...I will be bell ringing again this year to support the wonderful work that the Salvation Army does for the most unfortunate in our world. Not only do they minister to the needs of the most troubled among us, but they do it in a most efficient way with some of the lowest overhead of any national charity.
We all have much to be thankful for and given the condition of the economy, the needs of the most unfortunate have never been greater.
So once again, if you are in the Milwaukee area, I would urge you to stop by when I'm ringing and share a hug and a bit of Christmas cheer. And if you can, toss a little something into the kettle and help your fellow man this Christmas season."
I support the Salvation Army. They not only help the less fortunate, but they also give disaster aid.
Mary Stutzman, the Salvation Army volunteer coordinator had this to say about Tom's past bell ringing efforts:
"The support that you [Tom] and your family and friends have shown The Salvation Army each year is overwhelming! Last year alone, you raised $_! This is the equivalent of providing a weeks worth of groceries from our food pantry to 100 people, 160 nights of shelter for a homeless person, or 20 community meals to 125 people in need in our Community Meal program."
So stop by Saturday or next Tuesday to help Tom "stuff the kettle" or if those times aren't convenient, stuff the kettle without Tom. It all goes to a good cause. You may also contribute online.
Donations are down this year and needs are up. Share what you can.

Stopping ObamaCare: Hoping for Ghost of Christmas Future or appendectomy?
Unfortunately, ObamaCare health care reform has become a matter of being the best bill money can bribe. It seems the only way the Democrats can cram it down our throats is to offer big buck incentives to hold-out Senators to reach the magical 60 vote majority and then vote in the dead of night.
Senator and Doctor Tom Coburn said it best, "This process is not legislation. This process is corruption, and it's a shame that that's the only way we can come to consensus in this country is to buy votes."
If bribes weren't bad enough, Senate Leader Harry Reid scheduled the final vote on the eve of Christendom's most significant holiday: Christmas Eve. The timing of his vote is a slap in the face to Christians.
All I can say is that our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves at the dirty tricks some legislators have sunk to.
What can we do? Really nothing, except pray that just one of those 60 Democrats would change their vote? Something in the spirit of A Christmas Carol, where the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future visited Ebenezer Scrooge prompting his change of heart, that 1 or 2 Democrats would be convicted or have troubling dreams of what America will look like in the future under the tyranny of ObamaCare.
Or, we need something to keep a Senator or 2 from voting on the Senate floor Christmas Eve. Not anything serious, just a well timed emergency appendectomy or something?
Unless we get a reprieve, we probably will have a signed Senate bill on Christmas Eve. Talk about coal in our stockings!
The only shred of hope we have of defeating ObamaCare after that is to hammer our legislators while they are home in their districts over Christmas break. The House and Senate versions still must go through conference committee to come up with the final version. My hope would be some Congressmen would reconsider, seeing that over 60% of Americans DON'T WANT OBAMACARE.
God help us, everyone.
Pertinent reading (my emphasis): Catholic League: Reid deals "Three Card Monte" : "...Sen. Harry Reid's health care bill resembles—"Three Card Monte." The dealer is the federal government with its "opt out" and "firewall" illusions regarding abortion coverage; the confederate is the insurance companies with its "segregation of funds" illusions; and the loser is the taxpayers, especially those who are pro-life.
Come to Bethelehm and see, Christ the Lord the newborn king
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
to men on whom his favor rests,
Luke 2: 8-14 KJV & NIV
And she she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." The name Jesus means the LORD saves.
Merry Christmas
Wisconsin Grandsons of Liberty - Tea Party - meeting Wed. Dec. 30th, 5:30pm
The Tea Party movement, that began as a spontaneous tax protest, is moving toward the next step: organizing to protect our constitutional rights.
Locally, a group that calls itself The Wisconsin Grandsons of Liberty organized a lakefront tea party last September. They are now holding an open meeting at the Franklin Library on Wednesday, Dec. 30th at 5:30pm, for those interested in learning more about the group and its activities.
Come and talk with members and attend a short meeting that will "cover plans for events and activities in 2010."
Their website states they are "a group of non-partisan, like minded individuals dedicated to the restoration of the American republic to its originalist constitutional basis. We have chosen our name in homage to those Revolutionary Patriots, the original Sons of

The Franklin Library is located at 9151 W. Loomis Road, Fadrow Room A
Their website: Wisconsingrandsonsofliberty.com is also a great source for local Tea Party events and groups.
I learned of this meeting, via an email alert, from Americans for Prosperity Regional Coordinator Scott Sindey.
Musing about the eve of Y2K and Y2K+10
Ten years ago, New Year's Eve was celebrated with a bit of apprehension because of Y2K. I know I wondered if the lights would stay on, or more importantly, if the heat would stay on! Would the technological fabric of our lives would hold together or unravel?
My old Girl Scout motto, Be Prepared, prompted me to do just that: be prepared for what might come. We had our emergency light, heat, water, and food sources in the ready, just in case. Thankfully, nothing happened. Whether we went off grid for a national emergency or just a weather related reason, as we did a few weeks ago, we learned it is good to be ready.
Since our house had a fireplace, we invited my dad and sister to our house New Year's Eve 1999 for a movie marathon. (Well, at least until midnight, if the power went off.) We watched home movies that spanned 40 years, from our childhood days on up to my son's toddler days, and ate all manner of junk food. We had fun.
Thankfully, there was no technology failure and no need for concern. Our movie marathon continued past midnight.
This New Year's Eve, I find myself thinking concern over Y2K was the good ole days!
In 1999, our economy wasn't in the mess it is in today. We also weren't poised to take over the private health insurance industry with an unconstitutionally mandated government system. There was no war on terror, at least not on our soil, as most of us thought the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 was more of a fluke.
This New Year's Eve, one thing remains the same as New Year's Eve 1999: the movie marathon. We've done it every year since Y2K. We have upgraded to showing DVD's with a projector on a big screen in the living room though.
This year's picks: The latest Star Trek, the 4th Indiana Jones, G-Force, and maybe Night at the Museum 2. There might also be a home movie or 2 for nostalgia's sake.
Let the junk food and festivities begin!
What are your New Year's Eve traditions?

Explore Undiscovered Food, Fashion & Fun.
You couldn't wait for high school to be over. So it came as a shock when you entered the workplace and realized it was the same crap all over again (the cliques, the cliches, the competition).
That's life at Denver Memorial Hospital for intern Emily Owens (Mamie Gummer; she had a role on The Good Wife, but you might also recognize her as Meryl Streep's just-as-talented daughter). All Emily wants is to impress her boss (Necar Zadegan, The Event), date her med school crush (Justin Hartley, Smallville, Passions), and maybe save a few lives. Instead she finds herself head to head with high school nemesis Cassandra (newcomer Aja Naomi King) and feeling, basically, 16 all over again.
Catch the critically acclaimed sleeper hit Emily Owens, M.D. a full week before the television premiere at an exclusive free screening — and get the gift bags, snacks, and raffle prizes (a doctor bag-style leather purse, a snuggly blue scarf like the one Emily wears on the show) that go along with it.
It all goes down at the W Hotel (541 Lexington Avenue, between 49th and 50th Streets; map) on Thursday, October 4. Go at 7 p.m. for drinks and munchies; stay for the screening from 8 to 9 p.m. But you have to R.S.V.P. — otherwise you'll be left out in the cold.
Which you always tried to avoid in high school.
R.S.V.P. for the free screening of Emily Owens, M.D. at dailycandy.com.

While we carry a variety of computer desks, all of them are marked at affordable, institutional prices. They are built to last for many years. Many of our computer workstations come with a complimentary extended warranty from Hertz Furniture so you can depend on them for a long time.
Where can I put a computer in the classroom?
Computer desks are just what you need to outfit the school computer lab. They also offer a great way to bring technology into the classroom. You can order them to outfit an entire room, or as single models. We offer some convenient shapes and sizes so you can create the ideal configuration for your space. Classroom computer tables fit right in your learning space so you can keep a desktop there at all times.
What size computer desks do I need?
The classic rectangular computer table comes in a selection of widths. The right size depends on the amount of space you have and how many computers you want to fit in it. Computer desks generally fit either one or two computers. If you want to have space on the work surface for a keyboard, mouse, speakers and other accessories, you should make sure to take that into account when determining your ideal surface size.
There are also alternatives to the rectangle. If you are putting computer desks around a room against the walls, corner units are a great choice. They enable you to comfortably fit an extra computer in each corner of the room without overlapping tables. We also have computer tables with round fronts.
What features should I look for in a computer desk?
When you order a table that is designed for computers, you deserve to get the utmost in technological convenience. Especially in a room that is full of electronics, it is important to make sure that wires aren't sticking out and creating unsightly distractions. Wire-management grommets are a must-have for any computer workstation. They enable you to route cables to a power source without cluttering your work surface or creating tripping hazards.
Another important design element that varies among computer desk models is the leg design. There is the classic four-legged design as well as great alternatives including t-legs and cantilevered legs. T-legs provide stability and increased leg room. Cantilevered legs offer maximum legroom and prevent knees from knocking. For the most flexible option that can comfortably accommodate people of various heights, adjustable-height legs are the way to go.
There are additional features that can make the computer-user's experience a much easier one. A keyboard tray enables you to type in an ergonomically-correct position while saving space on the desktop. CPU holders are another available option for many of our computer desks. They keep your CPU in an upright position off of the floor, so it won't become damaged from accidental bumps or get knocked over.
Some computer users appreciate other convenient bonus features as well. Flip-top computer lab tables are great for temporary use because they save space in storage. Wheels are helpful because they make it easy to move computer tables around without lifting them. If your computer desks will not be against a wall, a modesty panel is another option to consider. Some modesty panels even include integrated wire-management trays.
In addition to the basic computer table design, we also offer high-tech workstations. The downview configuration is an excellent option for use with flat-screen computers. It keeps the screen in easy view of the user while saving desktop space and remaining out of the view of prying eyes. This provides a clean, uncluttered look that is great for a classroom, computer lab or office.
Hertz Furniture's selection of computer desks includes everything you need to transform your office or school into a tech-savvy work space. Our computer tables come from reliable manufacturers including Midwest Folding Products, Academia, Bretford and ABCO. Great computer lab tables can greatly enhance the work experience of your students and employees. If you need help choosing the best option for your institution, are not quite sure exactly how many tables you need, or just want a second opinion, feel free to contact the Hertz Design Center for free project-planning advice from the experts.

All of Academia's models are designed for long-term use in the educational environment. In fact, with 25-year and Limited Lifetime Warranties you are guaranteed to enjoy the benefits of this versatile and colorful school furniture for many years to come. The huge selection of styles and materials is sure to fit any budget or preference.
Classroom work spaces can be supplied by activity tables or school desks. Activity tables are appropriate for children from preschool through elementary school. Academia school tables come in a number of sizes, styles and shapes. No matter what shape you choose, Educational Edge tables offer a great way to add a splash of color to a learning space. They will make any classroom more lively and inviting.
School desks aren't what they used to be. Although the classic four legged design with a book-box underneath the work surface is still available, Academia brings you a number of viable alternatives that are suited to the modern classroom. Their exclusive WoodStone desktops have the durability of hard plastic, yet they cost and weigh significantly less. For maximum strength and versatility, models are available with adjustable-height and U-braces for reinforcement.
Student chair desks should be considered when purchasing classroom furniture. They come in the same durable materials as school desks, but with the added convenience of attached seating. When a classroom is full of combo desks, teachers can be sure that students won't lean back in their chairs, and there are always enough chairs to match desks. Combo desks also guarantee that chair and desk heights match up.
For those who opt not to furnish a classroom with chair desks, school seating must be purchased so students have a place to sit in class. Academia offers some tough classic poly shell and hard plastic models as well as attractive new designs from the Inspiration Series. These sleek school chairs come in vibrant colors and feature 17 reinforcement ridges for a durable, flexible and supportive design.
Even your youngest learners deserve to learn in an environment with appropriately-sized school furniture. Academia activity tables and school chairs come in any height that you need, so you can have first-rate preschool furniture as well. When young learners have school chairs and activity tables that are just the right size, it is easier for them to develop proper posture and skills.
While the classroom is where students spend the bulk of their time at school, there are a number of other rooms that also require appropriate furniture. Whether they are learning how to utilize technology for educational purposes or harness their musical talents, your pupils need furniture that supports their endeavors. With the right pieces, you can channel the hard work of children and young adults toward future successes.
Computers are becoming increasingly important in the educational environment. Some functional computer tables can help support technology in the classroom, or furnish a contemporary computer lab. In order to ensure that your setup promotes ergonomic positioning, some appropriate computer chairs are necessary as well. With the right computer furniture, students can learn how to type correctly and hone their online research skills.
When furnishing a music room or band room, regular tables and chairs just won't cut it. Music furniture is specially designed to help student musicians play in a healthy position so they will learn how to hold their instruments and breathe correctly from the beginning. Academia's musician chairs support students as they play, whether in practices or performances.
Another room that requires special furniture is the science lab. Having appropriate lab furniture ensures the safety of students and teaches proper experimentation techniques. Academia offers a number of excellent lab stools that enable students to sit comfortably as they take notes or experiment at counter-height surfaces.
Creating an environment that is conducive to education and growth begins with appropriate layouts for learning. In order to make sure that students are properly supported with the physical tools that are needed for success, you want to give them the best school furniture out there. Academia school furniture provides the models you need to put students on the path to success as they gain critical knowledge that will be carried far into the future.
