Dear Friends, I want to introduce you to Victoria. She is sharing some wise words regarding how to love someone with depression. This is a must-read and must-share! Blessings, Laurel 🙂
Victoria is a wife, mom of four girls and a writer. She earned her Bachelor's degree from Liberty University in Psychology & Christian Counseling and currently works full time for the Liberty University Online Communities Department as a staff writer/blogger. Victoria also writes on her own personal blog (www.victoriamininger.com) where she focuses on helping hurting women find hope and healing from fear, anxiety and depression so that they can begin to live again.
Depression. It's not an easy subject. It's not easy for those of us who have lived it, and for those of us who have loved someone going through it. It's a tough conversation to have, and yet, as I look at the world around us the need cries out. People are hurting, wounded and in despair. Every day we lose people to depression, either physically, emotionally or spiritually. These kind of conversations allow us to start doing something about those losses. To address how depression really effects all of us. To talk about Hope in the midst of it all.
Healing from depression is one of those tricky things. When you are going through the midst of this dark storm, everything inside of you wants to just run and hide, especially from people. But the tricky part? One of the important aspects of healing from depression is to be engaged in relationship with people. Healthy people, encouraging people, safe people.
But often those battling depression can have a hard time knowing how to relate to those around them. Depression can leave your world feeling muted and holding little interest. Depression often causes a shift in personality, energy and enjoyment of life. Hanging out with friends, catching a movie, or dinner out no longer hold the same appeal.
When you battle depression it is hard to know who is safe to share with. Often this uncertainty leads to not sharing, causing further withdrawal. Honestly, it can be a vicious circle. As a friend it's hard to know what to say and do. You don't want to make things worse, but you want your old friend back. You want to laugh again and enjoy life together.
Through the years, as I have battled my own fears and depression, I have discovered some key things that bring life and key things that don't. In this post we are going to talk about the "don'ts." – 5 simple things to avoid when loving someone through depression.
- Acting as if they should "Get Over It Already" – Whether you think it or say it, this attitude towards someone fighting depression is more harmful than helpful. When you are battling depression what you wouldn't give to "be over it" already. Often these words are a result of a friend or caregiver's anger and frustration of not being able to fix the depression, but in the end only serves to add to the weight of the battle. Understandably if you are supporting someone fighting depression, the season can get weary for you as well. It may feel like plenty of time has passed and they should be over whatever it is that has them in this place. However, every person's journey is different and you can't put a time frame on healing from depression. For some, healing comes within months, others it can take years.
- Bible Verse Band-Aids – Don't get me wrong, God's Word is important and for those fighting depression scripture can often bring real comfort. However, if our answer to someone's depression is to throw a few Bible verses at them with the hope that it will "stick," we fail to truly love. Giving someone random Bible verse Band-Aids does little to ease the pain of a gaping wound in the soul. When I was battling depression I had a hard time believing the promises of God's Word for my life. It took family and friends walking out scripture for me to grasp onto the hope and healing God's Word offers. So, instead of a random verse, I challenge you to walk out the scripture as much as you speak the scripture. God's Word in action can be a powerful balm to a hurting heart and mind.
- "If You Just Had More Faith" – This might be one of the most hurtful things that you can say to someone facing a dark storm of life. Depression is rarely just a faith issue. Often depression touches all aspects of a person's being. Physically, mentally and spiritually. If anything, depression tests your faith like none other and we need others to come alongside of us in that testing. This quote sums it up well – "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." (Author unknown)
- Stop Showing Up – Because depression causes withdrawal, it is easy to assume that maybe your friend just needs space. Can I implore you? Please keep showing up. Even if they don't want to get together because they are struggling to get out of bed, or put one foot in front of the other…keep showing up. A phone call can be a life line. Too often we relegate our communication to a quick Facebook post or message. Never underestimate the power of your own voice in the life of a friend. They need you to show up.
- Fix It Mode – Because we love, we want to fix. Sometimes I think it's just in our nature. Unfortunately, depression isn't an easy fix. It is a process, which starts with your loved one admitting the dark place they are in. In depression there can be denial, grief, anger, resentment, hopelessness and a myriad of other emotions and factors. The important part is to realize that you do not have to have all the answers. Often you will not. But what you do have to offer is support, love and encouragement as they travel the path towards healing and wholeness.
I don't know what your story is. I don't know who the loved one is that you are battling for. Maybe it's a friend, a spouse, a parent or a child.
What I do know is there is HOPE and that you are not alone. There are so many of us who have walked down the path of depression. There are many of us walking with a loved one battling this monster. However, I am convinced that as we begin to be brave and have conversations about mental health – depression, fears, anxieties (the list goes on) – that we will see God bring even greater healing to individuals and to us as a people.
If you are loving someone through depression right now I encourage you to go to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him how to reach their heart, because we must go first to the one who knows them most intimately – the creator of their very being. It is not an easy journey, but as you seek God on the behalf of your friend or loved one, I know He will be faithful to meet you.
What is your story? Who are you loving through depression? What would you add to this list of things to avoid?
Even earthly Kings despair:
My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes. PSALM 38: 10
My heart is blighted and withered like grass; I forget to eat my food. Because of my loud groaning I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins. I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof. PSALM 102:4-7
I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. PSALM 6:6
But even Kings have Hope:
"I waited patiently for the Lord and He inclined unto me and He heard my cry. He lifted me out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and He has set my feet upon a ROCK and He established my steps, and He has given me a new song even praise unto our God; many shall see it and fear and shall trust in the Lord…the first 3 lines of an ancient Hebrew song Psalm 40:1-3"

"How do I know if my cat was weaned properly?" This is a common question, one we wish to answer in this article. But first, it is good to start with the basics.
What is weaning?
When a kitten is born, it gets food and nutrition from its mother's milk. Just like humans, the first feeding is the most important. Within 24 hours of birth, a mother produces a special kind of milk called colostrum. This is full of vitamins, antibodies against sicknesses, and other necessary boosts to the baby's immune system.
In kittens this is also true; it is much healthier to nurse than to be switched to food right away. Many stores even carry formula for kittens; even though mother's milk is best, the formula is a close second. Nursing not only provides food and nutrition to the little one, but it also forms a bonding relationship between mother and kitten that will later help the kitten to understand socialization and relationships between other cats.
However, after a few weeks, it is necessary for the kitten to start eating solid food away from its mother. This is called weaning. About 4 weeks after birth, the mother cat may start to get irritated with kittens feeding. She may walk away at times or even hiss at the kittens; this is the beginning of weaning.
It is at this time that you can start to encourage the kittens to leave their mother and eat wet canned food for kittens or you can moisten kitten food with formula or water since their teeth are not properly formed to chew hard food. It is not completely necessary to move the kitten to a new location, but this encourages not only exploring other areas, but also independence which will be important for the kitten as it gets older.
By the time kitty is 8 weeks old, they should be off of their mothers milk. If the mother is still allowing nursing, it is ok only as an occasionally treat. The main source of feeding should be coming from more solid food at this point.
At 12 weeks the kitten is ready to leave the mother if they will be adopted out, or even just separating them in kitten's exploration of the world. The kittens interaction with other animals or their siblings in crucial at this time to form social behaviors in the future; weaning is about food, but also can relate to other learning experiences in kitten's life.
How to tell if a kitten was weaned properly
A cat that has gone through all the normal steps of separation from their mother will show confidence, curiosity and get along well with others. However, what if your cat was not able to go through the weaning process normally?
Some kittens don't have the necessary time with their mothers and have to be weaned on their own or by the help of a human. A kitten that does not wean by 4 weeks will most likely not survive unless aided by the help of another. If you have had a kitten this young, you know about the adventures of bottle feeding and formula.
While this will keep kitty healthy and alive, it does not encourage cat socialization skills. This situation does make for very "human-only" friendships in most instances. Your cat will associate you as the mother and often come to cuddle, play, or groom with you instead of another feline.
Other examples of cats that did not have the normal weaning experience include cats who suck on things, such as a piece of fabric, shoelace, or even your finger or earlobe! A classic case is seeing an adult cat try to breastfeed on another adult cat or even a pillow. Kneading is a normal behavior, however excessive drooling or sucking behavior during kneading may show the cat didn't properly complete the weaning cycle.
This does not mean anything is wrong with your cat; just that it may have been separated from its mother too soon and might need some extra love from you! Cats that did not complete the entire weaning cycle may not be fully socialized with other cats, but that is easy to overcome.
Your cat can be healthy and loving, with or without proper weaning. They had a kitty mother, but you have become their adoptive mother and can show them all the love and care they might need.

After the dinner crowd clears at Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar and Restaurant, the tables are moved to make room for the tipsy 20-somethings dancing to loud music while holding their beers and mixed drinks.
But by day, the late-night hot spot is a full-service restaurant complete with kid-friendly food options and even a special menu for dogs, which are welcomed to sit with owners on the patio.
General Manager Ryan Fairman said Lucy's is every bit as much a family-friendly eatery as it is a bar.
But just like a bar, Lucy's has to close its doors to the public on Sundays — a day that used to be one of its most profitable, Fairman said.
Up until July 2010, Lucy's was opened seven days a week, offering a brunch menu on Sundays. But because alcohol sales exceeded food sales, Lucy's was forced to shut down on Sundays.
Now Councilwoman C. Denise Marcelle is attempting to change the local ordinance to help restaurants like Lucy's stay open on Sundays.
"It's not very common that you have a full-service family-friendly restaurant that on weekend nights transforms into a nightlife scene," Fairman said. "So at the end of the day we're being penalized for about eight or nine hours of business we do throughout the week."
The parish ordinance requires restaurants to serve 60 percent nonalcoholic goods in order to stay open on Sundays.
Fairman said Lucy's was coming up just short of the quota.
Marcelle is proposing that restaurants only be required to sell 55 percent nonalcoholic goods, and hotel and motel restaurants would only have to meet a 50 percent quota.
"I saw many restaurants not being able to meet the mark, and a lot of them ended up closing up," Marcelle said. "If that business is not open, then we can't expect them to earn revenues, and then the city-parish doesn't get any tax revenue."
Metro Council members will discuss a policy change Wednesday during a Finance and Executive Committee meeting. The full council is expected to vote on the proposition the following Wednesday.
The state requirement for restaurants to be open Sunday is for 50 percent of sales to be nonalcoholic, Marcelle said.
"We're one of the few cities in the state with the 60-40 requirement," she said. "All over the state, they are 50-50."
Marcelle said she wants hotels to have the 50-50 quota because "their primary goal is to sell rooms, not to serve food or alcohol."
She said she will also propose a new permit for special events that fall on Sundays — like the Super Bowl — that would allow businesses to pay the city to be open for the one-day occasion.
ABC Director Chris Cranford said sales quotas are intended to keep bars and clubs from operating on Sundays.
"We don't want a business to say they're operating as a restaurant, but when we check on a Sunday, they're really operating as a bar room," Cranford said.
But Fairman said the restrictions have hurt his business and his employees.
He said now he uses Sundays as a cleaning day for the store.
"I can't tell you the amount of families and people in general who were all walking by that I had to turn away because I had to explain this kind of outdated Baton Rouge law," he said.
He added the rule is a hindrance to downtown growth.
"They want to build up this downtown and bring in residential, and yet here you finally have some place that wants to be open, and then they pull the cord on us," he said.

One of the most frequently asked questions I get from clients is how can they tell if their hair is damaged. Most of the time it is pretty obvious if your hair is damaged or not. To be honest, most of the clients that are extremely concerned with the health of their hair do NOT have damaged hair. Even before I became a professional hairstylist, I learned a lot of things about my hair the hard way. Now, as a professional, I can easily spot damaged hair, on my own head as well as on someone else.
I've had heat damage, color damage, damage from neglect. You name it, I've probably experienced it first hand. Just another reason why I'm thankful for having thick hair! Today I'm going to give you a few tips so that you will be able to know for sure if your hair is damaged or not.
- Your hair falls out/ you have bald spots- This is as obvious as it can get. If you have severe damage to your hair, the worst possible outcome is hair loss. If your hair suddenly starts coming out after getting a particular service done, it's safe to say you have damage. This does not include hair loss due to medications being taken or medical procedures being done. This is strictly pertaining to hair loss as a direct result of a service done to your hair (i.e bad relaxer, color gone wrong, braids too tight, etc)
- Hair starts breaking off in certain areas- This can occur for many reasons including wearing excessive ponytails, over-processing relaxers, and the most popular, permanent color gone wrong. When you notice your hair breaking after doing any of these things, you have received damage. Notice in the picture below how the hair is broken off right where the color is? That is a clear sign of damaged hair.
- Your hair is significantly thinner in spots- I've had clients where their hair was thick from the root of the hair to about the middle of the hair shaft, then got noticeably thinner. The first client that I had like that really puzzled me because I was just so curious as to why the hair would do that. I still do not know the cause of this. My client didn't know what the previous stylist was using on her hair, but if I had to guess I would say usage of a certain type of product did this. I know a shampoo or conditioner couldn't have caused it so I'm assuming it may have been improper usage of a relaxer. Anyway, once she started coming to me the hair thickened up all the way down to the ends, but this is another type of damage.
- Split ends- Split ends is a very mild form of damaged hair and can by easily fixed by simply cutting them. If you don't cut your split ends off, the hair will continue to split up the hair shaft resulting in having to cut more of the hair later. There is no product on the market that will repair split ends. Products that claim they can only give the illusion of mending the split ends together but once the hair gets wet again, you can clearly see that they are still splitting.

trim results after style
- Your hair seems permanently frizzy- This mostly happens the hair has been heat damaged and is often followed by excessive shedding. Having too much heat on the hair can open the cuticle layer on the hair and to the naked eye, this appears as frizz. Once the hair is nursed back to health, the cuticle of the hair will then close back up making the hair appear smooth again.
If you notice any of the above changes to your hair it is safe to say that you have some form of damage to your hair. But the good news is that most damage can be reversed and your hair can be healthy again!
What are some things that you have noticed about your hair that caused you to think it was damaged?

Health System Selects Fusion for Single-Source Cloud Solution
Cloud computing was once a murky proposition, but today is earning its way to ubiquity. By empowering our Saasy era and providing a key component of the digital transformation taking place, it seems the cloud is no passing fad, as it is enabling change from the c-suite to the contact center – from UCaaS and PaaS, to IaaS and the entire alphabet soup.
Recently, a leading health system decided to join the cloud revolution, and selected Fusion for its rich set of cloud services. The five-year contract includes the deployment of Fusion's robust, fully integrated cloud services platform, which offers scalability, in addition to converged data and voice solutions, providing a single source for the cloud. The implementation also adds advanced monitoring, reporting, billing and management systems, on top of 24/7 live maintenance, customer and technical support.
"For more than 30 years, this leading hospital system has established a tradition of excellence sponsoring community initiatives and collaborations that address the causes and consequences of poverty, including residential care for the homeless and low-income childcare as well as education-related efforts for childcare providers and disengaged parents. We are gratified to have earned the trust and confidence of this community-focused organization that shares Fusion's dedication to providing an exceptional customer experience," said Russell P. Markman, Fusion's President of Business Services.
The leading Midwestern and Southeastern Health System notes the combination of Fusion's nationwide network and its single source cloud solutions as key reasons for the selection, citing the ability to provide secure connectivity among a number of managed branches across several states.
In leveraging Fusion's future forward UCaaS, and cloud services like in other verticals, Fusion will do the heavy lifting, so you can worry about business operations and not collaboration or connectivity.
The cloud era is upon us, are you ready to enjoy the ride?

I don't want to be in this awkward living situation anymore. It's been too weird, I made my valiant attempt to duke it out for as long as I have, and the stressful home environment leaves no room for anything good to happen.
Delta left me a voice message for the second or third time. My friend (who persuaded me to apply, is a flight attendant himself - and a graciously wonderful person) urged me last night to at least entertain the idea and call them back, see what they want at least. It's been a while since I've seen that friend, and he was calmly reassuring. Basically said I don't belong - dealing with these jerk bosses, that I could be my own boss.
I agreed.
I'm sorry, dad. I know you can't deal with the idea of me taking such a leap of faith, that you don't think I can handle it, but how am I supposed to know that if I don't try? My friend even has such complete faith in me that he wants to help loan me money for a car... but see, I don't even want that. I'm sure I could figure out a way to get from place to place that doesn't involve me having to personally obtain a vehicle, given the fact that with what I've experienced with cars, I will admit I'm quite petrified of them, but am an excellent co-pilot - so I find a carpool. Something. Bus transportation is apparently cheap these days.
I need to test these public relation skills to the max... and these situations that I'm in AREN'T CUTTING IT. They're all pushing me back from my real potential. You've seen it shine before, but the sun's been gone for way too long. It's got to come out again, it can't here.
Funny how we had the sarcastic exchange on the phone yesterday about letting each other know when the other finds nirvana. I got the voice message from Delta later on in the evening.
I'd have extensive training (which I need and want) and would get paid for it. I'd get health benefits. And yes, I know I'd need to go get my leg 'fixed' (or whatever is wrong with it, healed)
Everything you think I won't be good at I want to challenge completely. The bullshit has always made me stronger. It's what keeps me going - as warped as it may be.
Understatement of my life: I've gotten too damn personal with the world.
(If I get the position I hope to have an interview with this week, Plan #8675309 might be canceled and rerouted.)

please excuse my french.
My brain has been taken over by ? marks.
All I can constantly think about lately is how fucked up everything is. Trust me, I'm the last person who WANTS to be cynical right now, I've been trying so desperately to find a job and a place where I belong, given that my idiosyncratic way of being doesn't seem to mix kosherly with everyone (something I've experienced lately) because of how outgoing, honest, and talkative I am. No, no one wants that anymore - for I was told recently to 'stop talking as much' (when I only am with customers - who are the ones who sometimes make conversation with me) and who am I to ignore them - especially when there is no one else in line, everything is spic, span, and stocked?
COME ON. I WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE A PERSONALITY - co-workers (the two other twentysomething females there) confided in a mere two days of me being there that they did extra bending over backwards (coming in early, opening, extra odds/ends) for cryptically aforementioned manager - to obtain their deserved pay raises.
They haven't seen it yet.
They both, at different times, exclaimed to me on shift, "What's stopping me from just walking out right now?"
After a shift ended a couple days ago, I went in to report to my manager for his general feedback - in cryptic, broken English - with an apparent snide, 'I don't have you scheduled for next week.'
Completely confused, I try to confidentially make out, 'Why am I not scheduled next week?'
To which he didn't give me an answer.
I didn't prod. I nodded in false understanding, accepting the nonsense.
While I was told to come back next Friday to 'talk,' (which could simply be him at least making it apparent that I'm not getting jipped out of next weeks paycheck) I began my trek home in the snow, doing at times, the sad Charlie Brown slouch.
My mind was in absolute disarray. 'I don't think there's a job in the world for me,' my sad state seemed to accept. five minutes down the street, I accidentally slipped and fell on the right side of my butt, twisting my leg funny, and successfully re-activating (and bruising) the troubled spot on my varicose leg.
Whether or not I still am employed, is questionable. While he said he'd talk to the owner about the other location, he didn't necessarily say I was let go.
A really awesome job was referred to me by a friend after I sadly got home and wrote him a more succinct version, but after checking my e-mail and looking up the ad today (for obviously I've learned most don't check on weekends) ... it was already taken off of Craigslist.
So - the stuck feeling has set in again - along with the scared current state of the world dreams.
Man, being overly aware RULES.

Never knew who or how many people looked at my blog until the other day, when I finally stumbled upon the stats page. This is a screenshot of my 'all-time' page views! WOW, all ya'll rule.
For that, you get a song that I can't stop playing repetitively.
AND some cheesy pictures of me taken by my prehistoric flip-phone:
(Ja-eyyyyyyyyYYyyYY, eff kay! "You don't know it but you ah full of stars.")
If and when in this life I actually have money, I'll eventually hold an ice cream social on Sunday so sundaes can be enjoyed on their respective day.

Spent my ENTIRE Saturday playing with a two & a half year old that's cooler than everyone else. Quinn sang Barbara Ann, I was a human slide, and we both said our NOMS while eating p-i-zz-a. I read Peter Pan aloud, we both acted like bears, and even watched miscellaneous Sesame Street skits... Quinn all slouched onto my right side with his arm around mine. He eventually sat on my lap so I could help him get his shoes on to leave for his mom's. He gave me a high five and a goodbye hug, David came back Quinn-less but with a Delirium Tremens in hand and it was enjoyed in two tall glasses.
Not looking forward to negative temperature days and nights, and two more feet of snow.

I think it's time we...
It'd really be nice to start a Common Sense group - meeting once a week. I could very well make a list of questionable topics / things I hear and pick up in the news everyday and just throw them out there to everyone - and hot debate could ensue, but hopefully some honest, hard thinking would be a product - could also take it upon myself to record (take minutes, formulate into articles) post another blog online - could be a very beneficial project. Hugos, at an earlier time - with beer involved, would probably be the best commonplace for such sense, unless anyone actually wanted to sacrifice their abode for an hour or two.
Anyone would be allowed to say anything they want - nothing is stupid - to try and attempt building and structuring general ideas/concepts, learn about others different ways of thinking, no matter how backwards it may seem... tensions may flare, but hopefully it wouldn't come to that, since there is a basic common purpose involved - a better future.
could, would, should, I'm hopeful, how about it?
On a random note, I officially detest Mr. and Mrs. "I know everything there is to singing," Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. I've written this entry while my muted television in the background has these quackers on - AMERICAN IDOL! They get to make crude comments to noobs! J-Lo's from da Bronx - she gonna laugh you up, grrrrl.

Feeling like a Grandma lately... m'bones are all achy. Started rereading 1984 yesterday. WINSTON HAS A VARICOSE ULCER ON HIS RIGHT LEG! Crazily enough, I think the unemployment time period gave mine some much needed rest, and although I'm chubbier, much of the pain in my leg has subsided. It's still not good as new, but I can go the distance with it not bothering me all too much.
So... D&D (and no, not Dungeons and Dragons) is okay, called today to see if I should walk in the snow, sleet, and fog to work five hours - to be told not to, so it looks like it's going to be a book reading day, although I've requested from a potentially awesome job to send me some research to study, because I'd like to prepare in case that happens. The boss of this job said he didn't want to see an intelligent woman get burnt out at such the place I'm at now, (man, where was this guy a year and a half ago?) then again I also might have the opportunity to work with one of the best groups of people ever - so I am waiting ever so patiently.
I really want to start going on adventures again soon.
and lose more weight. or should I embrace voluptuous-ness? (my boobs are bigger. it's weird.)

"We're making a mistake, allowing children to learn how to exploit the power of anonymity on the internet way before they've learned table manners or real responsibility. It leaks into their real-life personas and we wonder why kids are so difficult to discipline or communicate with in schools. And then it feeds back into this meaningless absurdity they call "entertainment news."
Enjoy your young adulthoods now, early 20-somethings to late 30-somethings. The generations coming after to take care of you will be too busy texting to even know how to get a job."

One epiphany
of the many I've been having lately: paying attention to detail... it's like I finally opened my eyes again. Why I was so blind for a while: too much noise. Tuning it all out really seems to work. Back to drawing I go... (which is another New Years resolution to do more of.)
Something completely different, totally cheesy for this song:

The Big Bang Theory
While normally I'm sounding off about every little stupid thing, I got nothing right now. Absolutely nothing. I've been really quiet lately. And while I wish I could be totally open about something happening at this given moment, it'd be like selling out. Discovering a part of myself that I didn't know existed....... is scary, but so thrilling.

EVENT DATE: Mar 01, 2014
On March 1st, 2014, I will be participating in the toughest challenge of my life, the 30th annual 2014 Ironman New Zealand. The race consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a marathon (140.6 miles total) all of which is to be completed in less than 17 hours. It will be by far the longest triathlon I will have entered and will require every ounce of physical fortitude and mental toughness to complete.
As a way of giving back and for extra incentive to keep me motivated during my training, I have asked friends & family to guess my race finish time for a chance to win one of several prizes in exchange for a donation to the San Francisco chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). The mission of NAMI is to advocate for a life of quality and dignity by providing education, resources and emotional support to families and those affected by mental illness. They strive to end discrimination and stigma for all those persons affected by these illnesses through broader education and collaboration with the whole community.
With your support, NAMI can continue to provide free, life-saving education and support programs, raise awareness, combat stigma and provide essential information and resource to many in San Francisco. Please consider partnering with me by donating to NAMI and their worthy cause. My goal is to raise $50 for every mile of the 140.6 mile long Ironman race ($7,030 total). Together, we can make this happen!

He was ``5-foot-10, single, intellectual yet romantic, with a love of fine wine, beautiful women and great operas.``
She was ``5-foot-3, professional, attractive and sincere, with passionate interests in art, ice cream, bread-baking and Beethoven.`
You might say it was a match made in heaven, except that it was actually put together in the living room-office of TamaraMonaque Conroy, who has come up with a deliciously offbeat way of helping the highbrows meet each other.
When a fellow who prefers Rachmaninoff to racquetball seeks a woman who prefers Penderecki topower-lunching, he looks to Conroy`s Classical Music Lovers Exchange, America`s only dating service for the longhairs.
That`s how 5-foot-10 Henry Glass met 5-foot-3 Shar Marcus three years ago in Chicago. When Valentine`s Day came around, they toasted just over two years of making beautiful music together as a married couple.
``Before I met my classical music date, I was just going out with jerks,`` Marcus says.
``I rarely met anyone I wanted to see for more than one date, until I went the classical route,`` Glass says.
``I can`t exactly say why people who adore classical music need each other, but I think it has something to do with attitudes on life. Classical music lovers generally aren`t interested in bars and booze and party animals. They prefer culture and refinement, and they`re infinitely happier with someone who prefers the same.``
That, indeed, may explain why Conroy has barely had a moment`s rest since she founded CMLE on a lark eight years ago out of her home in Pelham, N.Y.
``I had gotten absolutely sick of the men I was going out with,`` says Conroy, a widow and passionate lover of anything by Brahms.

Coming up to summer, I like to have a summery shawl project for you. This picture is fabulous, and I found a great new yarn to try.
Sumatran Tiger Sock yarn takes its name from the smallest species of Tiger…..and this yarn is right on that thinness border between heavy lace and really light fingering weight yarn. It's 490 yards per 100 grams, made of 100% silky soft superfine superwash Merino (yup, that's a lot of ssssss's!!). I dyed this in a single long repeat through the colors, each color about equal, each color block overlapping its neighbor somewhat.
The fiber this month is Shetland, just because I usually offer it in the fall….and by no means should this great fiber be restricted to fall colors only! I dyed the fiber as 'there and back', so divide in the middle for an easy two ply, or spin the whole thing as is and live daringly by plying from a center pull ball. Be sure to join us for Tour de Fleece….info is on our Ravelry group.
We're taking a little vacation this next week, then I'll be in the thick of dyeing for June's club! Want in? I'm taking new subscriptions through the 15th (or when spots fill up, whichever comes first).

Daughters of Lilith books 1-3I enjoyed reading these books. Jennifer's description of the events make it seem that the reader is there. As I am not a Young Adult, actually I am in my late 50's I found that Jennifer's writing is refreshingly different. I will recommend these books for Young Adults and Older Readers. There is no swearing or gratis sex scene.by Nadine on September 02, 2017

In early 2018, Turbo Air began replacing its models with new ones that are designed to be more efficient and use natural refrigerants. This model has been replaced by the TSF-72SD-N. Here are details about that model:
Super Deluxe Freezer, reach-in, three-section, 63.8 cu. ft., self-contained, stainless steel front & side, galvanized back & top of the cabinet, stainless steel interior, hinged solid doors with recessed handles, (9) adjustable stainless steel wire shelves, exterior LED digital thermometer, door-open alarm beeps, self-diagnostic monitoring system, smart fuzzy defrost, automatic fan motor delays, door pressure release device, LED interior lighting, self-cleaning condenser equipped, door locks, 4" dia. swivel casters, bottom mount compressor, R290 Hydrocarbon refrigerant, 3/4 HP, 115v/60/1, 6.5 amps, NEMA 5-20P, NSF 7, cETLus
The stainless steel exterior and interior of the Turbo Air TSF-72SD Super Deluxe freezer guarantee the maximum in cleanliness and long product life. The sturdy, stainless steel shelves are only part of the Turbo Air Super Deluxe series and will not peel, rust, or lead to unsanitary conditions. This solid door freezer is designed with a self-contained, oversized, balanced refrigeration system that includes an evaporator and condenser for greater efficiency and faster freezing. Alarms sound when the doors are not sealed shut to protect food from spoiling because of cold air leaks.
Manually cleaning the condenser is costly in time and money but is one of the most important procedures in maintaining any refrigeration system. There is a self-cleaning condenser on the Turbo Air TSF-72SD Super Deluxe freezer that maintains the highest efficiency while reducing the risk of a premature system failure. The self-cleaning condenser uses a mesh filter to prevent dust from getting to the condenser coil fins. Accumulated dust on the mesh filter is brushed away two to three times a day by a rotating brush that also moves up and down to remove the excess outward and away from the condenser, effectively preventing dust from accumulating.

Originally called Golden Shower (the name change was a smart idea on their part. I know I've lost how many times I've heard someone like a grumpy old uncle refer to the swill he was quaffing as "Horse piss" then down another can) the color isn't really gold as it is a robust orange. Bubbles race up to the inch tall and slow fading head. A strong grain and honey scent to the nose along with a light slap of alcohol (but at 9% abv-how could there NOT be?).A very sticky and sweet malt taste up front. It's followed by a honey-like soothingness then some crisp and dry hops show up at the end to rock the scales a little bit with a smack of (good) bitterness. Would I reach for this as my pilsner of choice when such a mood strikes? No, that's Victory's Prima. That's American ingenuity with an age old recipe and hits the bullseye. Besides, this is a bit more pricey and over the top in the booze department for casual drinking but if a special occasion called for a special pilsner this is one to go for.

Dogfish Head Golden Era Imperial Pilsner
"WHOAH!" is what I say after my first sip. Pilsner's are a beer standard and for the most part Americanized pilsners are, at the most, just average in flavor. At the least they are, as friend of mine says "Uck! They taste like cheap perfume." Some of the biggest selling beers in North America are based off the Czech pilsner example but have been adapted to the taste of the general marketplace. For example Labatt Blue is a pilsner. It even says so on the label. Crisp, dry and in the most cases for the big breweries a lot of corn, rice and a bit watery. Y'know how it is. One of those standard tastes we all probably remember when we first we trying beer back in those days when it wasn't about flavor and quality but quantity and catching a cheap buzz. Dogfish Head NEVER does anything standard though and their pilsner is no exception to the rule.

Game, set and splash
Tennis matches are played at the EYOF on eight top quality hard courts, but the weather we've been having these last few days is not making the lives of the organisers or the players easy.
"Initially the lines begin to get slippery, so this has to be checked by the umpire, and the match suspended, if the conditions are unsuitable," Szabolcs Soós, the facility manager of the Olympic Sport Park said. This had happened on a number of occasions during the past few days, so some athletes have to play two matches a day. In such event however, the organisers are careful to ensure that their opponents also play two matches, so that equal conditions prevail. The rain also surprised spectators at the venues of the athletics and kayak-canoe competitions.

On May 28, 1985, Jack Reichel, owner of a South Side scrap metal business, ambled into the law offices of attorney Glenn Seiden seeking advice. He`d just been subpoenaed by a grand jury investigating him as a possible middleman in the theft of $1.5 million of cobalt from a Chicago Heights warehouse.
Reichel had been referred to Seiden and associate James Graham by Michael Rushakoff, a scrap metal broker and longtime friend also being investigated. Reichel thought he was in a jam and was upset. Curiously, he seemed just as concerned about previous conversations between Rushakoff and Seiden, Rushakoff`s attorney.

Re-entry Connect
Re-entry Connect is a campus program designed for re-entry or non-traditional students. Re-entry students, by definition, are undergraduates over age 24 AND traditionally-aged students who are married or who have children.
Many years ago when I was a student, married with children and returning to college, I remember feeling old at the age of thirty-something. I had child care issues and responsibilities at home, different than those of most traditional aged students. My counselor at the time facilitated a class for this student population, and at her urging, I attended. Her efforts connected me with students who had similar interests and challenges and also those who were succeeding despite their challenges. This provided a smoother transition to college and motivated me and many others to stay in school. Thirty years later as a member of the faculty, with my counselor's continued encouragement (she's 93 years old), I hope to do the same for students enrolled at Fullerton College today.
Dr. Carol Mattson (AKA Dr. C)
Our aim is to:
Connect! – Connect with each other and with useful resources on and off campus.
Act! – Take action by setting and achieving tangible goals; one class, one semester; one year at a time.
Transform! – Change and grow as students and as individuals to improve our lives and make a positive difference in the lives of those around us.
Just say CAT!
Did you know?
The student demographic data provided by the California Community College Chancellor's office indicate that students age 25 and over account for around 40% of our system's enrollments statewide and more than 25% of students enrolled at Fullerton College.
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Our Products
As AuKids has become more well-known, our power to influence the general public has increased. We are satisfied that we are doing a great job for parents, but so often it's other people who are the cause of their distress!
In conjunction with Fins Design and Print, AuKids magazine launched its own range of T-shirts with slogans designed to promote autism in a positive way.
Our slogans are available on T-shirts, hoodies, bags, hats - and even a teddy bear! Clothing is available in a range of colours and you can choose from white, neon green, neon pink or sparkle lettering.
Click here to buy your AuKids clothing
£2 from every T-shirt sale goes towards running AuKids magazine
Choose from these slogans:
'I was born with autism, the cheeky smile is all my own work'
'Autism: If it's good enough for Einstein, it's good enough for me!'
'Stand Aside, I have the special powers of autism'
'Stand aside, I have the special powers of Asperger's'
'I'm not difficult, I'm exotic'
'God created autism to offset the excessive number of boring people'
'Mainstage: Autism - Support Act: That's Me!'
Our Readers Love Them!
'Love the T shirts and the slogans. Our children need positivity we're in a world of too much negativity. If someone tells me my George can't do something we work out a way to help him so he can. Autism is part of who he is not all that he is .. so thank you. Love the blog too!' - Karen Kirkby
'Brilliant! I've looked at and bought a fair few T-shirts over the years and these are definitely some of the best...and also sensibly priced. Have just ordered two. Well done and let's have some more of the same please!!!'- Sara Basma
'Oh my word, they are awesome!! They are great slogans, some I have seen are a bit derogatory or just plain rude! X' - Sue Sheppard
'I will be honest I have avoided T shirts in the past as many are quite confrontational and negative. I love these well done! Got to go just seen a mention of sparkly.... Can these T-shirts get any better? Whoop whoop!' - Ali Palmer
Many parents with a recent diagnosis contact AuKids magazine for help, saying they don't know where to start. We decided that we wanted to make a special one-off issue of AuKids that would be available to parents at the very start of their journey. It would consist of a variety of our best articles suited to parents new to autism, it would help direct them towards extra sources of information and support. But mostly, it would help to inspire and encourage, reduce isolation and feel like a warm hug to read.
The 16-page Starter's Special was sponsored by Time Specialist Support and copies were sent free of charge to nearly 500 support groups and diagnosis centres around the UK.
The Starter's Special is now given to support centres and groups on request(subject to availability). It is also available to individuals as part of our subscription package.

Recipe: Beef Dopiaza
- Details Category: Beef Based Curry Published on Saturday, 01 March 2014 18:19 Written by Super User :
- 2 lb (900 g) chuck steak, chopped into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces
- 1 rounded teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 rounded teaspoon coriander seeds
- 3 cardamom pods (whole)
- 1 level teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 level teaspoon whole fenugreek (alternatively, use ground fenugreek)
other ingredients
- 3 tablespoons groundnut oil and large knob of butter
- 2 medium onions, sliced thinly across-wise
- 1 lb (450 g) onions, peeled and sliced into half-moon shapes about ½ (1 cm) thick
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3 green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 level tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 level tablespoon freshly grated peeled root ginger
- 2 medium tomatoes, skinned and chopped
- 400ml tin coconut milk
- 5 fl oz (150 ml) natural yoghurt
- salt and freshly milled black pepper
To serve:
- juice 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves
- First of all you need to roast the whole spices, and to do this place them in a small frying pan or saucepan over a medium heat and stir and toss them around for 1-2 minutes, or until they begin to look toasted and start to jump in the pan. Now transfer them to a pestle and mortar and crush them to a powder.
- Next place 2 tablespoons of the oil and butter in the casserole over a high heat and, when it is really hot, brown the pieces of meat a few at a time.
- Now fry the thinly sliced onions until translucent.
- Remove them to a plate, then add the rest of the oil/butter and, when that's really hot, too, fry the onions till well browned – about 10 minutes – then add the garlic and chilli and cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Next return the meat to the pan, add the crushed spices, fenugreek powder (if you were unable to buy it whole), turmeric, ginger and tomatoes and stir everything around.
- Next add the coconut milk into the casserole, followed by the yoghurt and some seasoning.
- Now bring the mixture up to a slow simmer, put the lid on the casserole and simmer very gently for 2 hours.
- Just before serving, add the lime juice and sprinkle over the chopped fresh coriander.
- Serve with spiced basmati rice and Fresh Coriander Chutney.
