The humanitarian crisis caused by escalating violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State is causing suffering on a catastrophic scale. As of 24 May, there are an estimated 905,000 refugees in Cox's Bazar. Not only has the pace of arrivals since 25 August made this the fastest growing refugee crisis in the world, the concentration of refugees in Cox's Bazar is now amongst the densest in the world. Refugees arriving in Bangladesh—mostly women and children—are traumatized, and some have arrived with injuries caused by gunshots, shrapnel, fire and landmines.
To date, CERF has allocated $19 million to support urgent relief efforts for the most vulnerable new arrivals and enable humanitarian partners to scale up the humanitarian response. But more funding is needed to address the outstanding needs.
The situation becomes even more challenging as the incoming cyclone and monsoon season approaches, posing severe risks to the gains made. Limited safe space for refugees more at risk and lack of appropriate shelters for high winds and cyclones hampers risk mitigation efforts.
In Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, the humanitarian response to the influx of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar continues to be coordinated by the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) which is led by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
To address the ongoing and increasing needs, a new Joint Response Plan was launched on 16 March 2018, requesting US$951 million to provide life-saving assistance to 1.3 million people, including Rohingya refugees who fled Myanmar to Bangladesh and local host communities. As of 25 May, the appeal remains only 18 per cent funded.
The priority needs in the plan, which covers the March-December 2018 timeframe, include food, water and sanitation, shelter, and medical care. View funding updates here.

Omega Fatty Acids: The Truth
Omega 3, 5, 6 and 9 are fatty acids necessary for good health, some called Essential Fatty Acids, often referred as EFAs.
Omega fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats only found in food. They are considered healthier than saturated fats and have many metabolic functions – from building healthy cells to maintaining brain and nerve function.
Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's), and need to be consumed daily. They both interact with each other so the balance between them is crucial for good health; as soon as they are consumed they are incorporated into cell membranes in all tissues of the body. Research shows that Omega-3s (Ω-3, n-3) have anti-inflammatory properties and are indispensable for a healthy cardio-vascular system. On the other hand, Omega-6s have pro-inflammatory properties and are part of the inflammation process; therefore, they are also important.
With the invention of industrial oils (not the car oils type, although, it may considered as bad by many health advisers around the world), the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 has been greatly damaged, and our modern diet can reach a disproportionate ratio such as 1:20. On average, the "American Diet" revolves around 1:12 on average.
The advised healthy ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 is 1:1 to 1:2.
The following table represents the main fatty acids found in Omega 3, 6 and 9. Omega 9 fatty acids are not considered essential as our body can manufacture them from other sources. For more information on Omega 5, see below table.
Omega 3
The most important two fatty acids that seem to have the strongest health benefit in the Omega 3 family (only found in any real quantities in oily fish (such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna) and fish oil supplements) are EPA (Necessary for the efficient functioning of the brain, and cells) andDHA (Healthy development of the brain and vision for young children).
ALA is found in Flaxseed Oil*, Flaxseeds, Hempseeds, Nuts, Avocado, and leafy vegetables. Once eaten, the body converts a small amount of ALA to EPA and then to DHA.
Some studies suggest that they have far-reaching health benefits:
Omega-3s, however, raise Cholesterol in the bloodstream, both the good (HDL) and the bad (LDL).
Always seek medical advice before taking Omega 3s supplements; they can increase the risk of bleeding and may interfere with some other medications and supplements (i.e. Vitamin E…).
When looking at labels of products with added Omega-3s, they may in fact contain a minimal amount of ALA; therefore, using trusted sources of Omega-3s (Fatty fish, flaxseed oil, Linseed oil, Hempseed oil…) is crucial.
Properties: Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Coagulant, Lower blood pressure, Improve Glucose metabolism, Provide protection against cardiovascular disease, arthritis, skin conditions, depression and other mood-related disorders.
Omega 5
Omega 5 is the only known botanical form of conjugated Linolenic Acid, also known as Punicic Acid – one of the most potent antioxidants, found in Pomegranate seed oil.
Properties: Anti-Inflammatory, boosts cellular repair mechanisms, controls and regulates glucose transport at the cell membrane level – a plus for insulin sensitive people, improves digestive health, and greater hormonal balance…
Omega 6
Omega-6s (Linoleic Acid) are found in most Vegetable Oils (Borage Oil contains the most), seeds, pine nuts, pistachio, and Chicken. It seems, however, that we are getting too much Omega-6s from too many sources (salad dressings and sauces, frying oils…), and not enough of Omega-3s (see below).
Arachidonic Acid (Omega-6) is also inflammatory; therefore, it is important to reduce their consumption during highly stress periods, pain, and inflammatory diseases.
Properties: Maintains healthy skin, hair and nails, and is known to help bringing hormonal balance and improving emotional health.
The two enzymes Cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 & 2, and Lipoxygenase (LOX), break down Omega-6s and Omega-3s, respectively, into Pro-inflammatory (Thromboxanes - TXA2, Prostaglandins - PGI2, Leukotrienes - LTC4 and LTB4), or Anti-inflammatory cells. Research brands LTB4 as the most inflammatory cell, and aggravates any inflammatory disease (e.g.Obesity, Autoimmune Conditions, Chronic Stress, Depression, Rheumatoid Arthritis, including Chronic Pain and Inflammation).
Omega 9
Omega 9 (Monounsaturated fatty acid) also has many preventative qualities, and can be found in Olive Oils, Sesame Oil, olives, avocado, and nuts.
Properties: Reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis (Hardening and loss of elasticity of arteries), cardiovascular disease and stroke.
"Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats is still one of the healthiest changes [anyone] can make," says Jeannie Gazzaniga-Moloo, PhD, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
Yet, further studies are still under way to fully understand Saturated Fats – from vegetable sources (Coconut oil, Palm oil…) – their properties and their actions on our body and overall health. They are able to resist higher cooking temperature and may also be preventive against heart related diseases.
Experts unanimously agree that fish is the main source of Omega-3s and that they are healthy fats. Some, insist that omega-6s compete with omega-3s in the body, so the ratio of these two forms of polyunsaturated fats is very important, with some, like Artemis Simopolous, MD, who directs the Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health, in Washington, D.C. and widely regarded as an expert in fatty acids, goes deeper: "The ideal ratio is one to one or two to one, omega-6 to omega-3".
However, not everyone agrees. "The ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s doesn't matter since both are good [and] is meaningless because it's good divided by good." says Harvard University School of Public Health cardiologist Frank Sacks, MD
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health found that omega-3 was linked to heart disease protection and evidence that a diet high in omega-6s may actually increase cardiovascular risk.
It seems that Omega Fatty Acids are in the middle of a storm; however, most researchers agree that we are getting plenty of omega-6s in our diet and not getting recommended levels of omega-3s.
It is recommended to eat fatty fish, such as salmon, at least twice a week, nuts and seeds, and switch from 'vegetable' oils to oils that are a good source of Omega-3s and Omega-6s (Flaxseed oil or Linseeds oil, Hempseed Oil…). Again, avoid Refined oils (and other refined products altogether)
It is important to keep a ratio between Omega-6s and Omega-3s and to not overdosing one on the other – They are both Essential Fatty Acids.

Employees at Oak Brook, Illinois-based Crowe Horwath have been busy organizing a firm matched fundraising effort for Haiti relief.
Following the earthquake, Crowe launched a plan to collect donations from personnel who wanted to assist with the relief program and chose UNICEF and the American Red Cross as the beneficiary organizations. The firm committed to match those donations up to $50,000.
More than 400 individuals at the firm donated $59,285 for disaster relief efforts. In all, 24 percent ($13,764) of the donations received from Crowe individuals was earmarked for UNICEF and 76 percent was assigned to the American Red Cross. The $50,000 in matching funds will be directed in the same proportion, resulting in overall donations of $82,482 to the American Red Cross and $25, 611 to UNICEF for use for earthquake disaster relief efforts.
Crowe established this matching fund so that contributions from our people can go even further in assisting those in direct need in the aftermath of this tragedy, said Charles Allen, the firms chief executive.

Walgreens total sales, comps dip in May
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens on Tuesday posted May sales of nearly $6 billion, a decrease of 1.6% as compared with the same month in fiscal year 2011.
The negative impact on comparable-store prescriptions filled due to no longer being part of the Express Scripts pharmacy network was 10.8 percentage points. Prescriptions processed by Express Scripts comprised 12.7% of Walgreens prescriptions in May 2011. May pharmacy sales decreased 3.9%, while comparable-store pharmacy sales decreased 8.5%. Comparable-store pharmacy sales were negatively impacted by 3.9 percentage points due to generic drug introductions in the last 12 months and by 0.3 percentage points due to the product mix of cough, cold and flu drugs.
Pharmacy sales accounted for 63.1% of total sales for the month.
Prescriptions filled at comparable stores decreased 7.6% in May. Calendar day shifts in May, which had one additional Wednesday and Thursday, and one fewer Sunday and Monday, compared with May 2011, positively impacted prescriptions filled in comparable stores by 1.3 percentage points.
Walgreens' May sales announcement follows a statement from the drug store chain that its dispute with pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts had been mutually dropped, and that Walgreens would be extending its partnership with OptumRx, one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers in the United States.
"Since Jan. 1, our underlying trend for number of prescriptions filled has improved," Walgreens EVP and CFO Wade Miquelon said. "Looking forward, we expect our number of prescriptions filled to be helped as employers and health plans take a variety of steps ranging from changing prescription benefit managers to changing language in new RFPs to provide continued access to Walgreens and our services. In what is the busiest selling season in recent memory, we are pleased that we have continued to receive notification of pharmacy plans regaining access to Walgreens pharmacies with new contracts that become effective throughout the remainder of the year. In addition, we extended our multi-year agreement to build on our strategic partnership with OptumRx, one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers in the United States."
Walgreens did see a small positive gain in total front-end sales, which increased 0.3%, compared with the same month in 2011; however, comparable-store front-end sales decreased 1%. Customer traffic in comparable stores decreased 2.3% while basket size increased 1.3%.
Sales in comparable stores decreased by 5.8%. The effect of calendar day shifts positively impacted total comparable sales by 0.8 percentage points. Last week, Credit Suisse analyst Ed Kelly projected that Walgreens would experience a 5% to 6% drop in comps, saying "the weak May results close out what should be a disappointing top-line quarter for the company," adding that "the loss of [Express Scripts] traffic and recent adjustments to the circular are impacting front-end sales."
Calendar year-to-date sales were $29.4 billion, a decrease of 2.2% from nearly $30.1 billion in 2011.

Banana Caramel
David Meredith
This easy dessert sauce makes a great topping for ice cream, puddings, cakes, and more.
How to Make It
Step 1
Puree the banana in a food processor until very smooth.
Step 2
Cook the sugar and ½ cup water in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is just dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup is a dark golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes more. (If dark spots start to appear in the sugar mixture, gently swirl the pan to incorporate.)
Step 3
Remove from heat and carefully add the vanilla, salt, and banana puree (the mixture will sputter); stir until combined.

Mid-Feb Tuesday - grey and showery
4 comments:
Big plan? Ooo sounds exciting! I also like the news about the cat! Hee hee! She must be so confused! And cool on going to spain - I went to Madrid for two days but not long enough to recommend anything really - I liked what I saw though - it is a fun place...hot though! Dress light! xxxReplyDelete
You'll love Madrid. I'd recommend visiting the museums/art museums - at the very least go see Picasso's Guernica in the Museo Reina Sofia. You could also take in some late night flamenco.ReplyDelete
Good luck with the de-cluttering.
Spain sounds lovely - just dreaming of a vacation is such a lift! I am doing some odd jobs around the house today and hopefully getting outside for a nice walk, as the sun has made an unexpected, but very welcome, appearance.ReplyDelete
Enjoy Spain... and the Wedding celebrations. It all sounds lovely. The news on your family cat made me giggle :) We're all getting the de-cluttering feeling with it getting gradually nearer to Spring... which must mean less 'grey and showery' and more 'bright and sunny' appearing soon! xReplyDelete

This time two years ago, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio stood in a studio, posing for a Time magazine cover declaring him "The Republican Savior." The first-term senator from Miami was enjoying golden status in the party, with exciting rumors of a President Rubio in the near future. Polls showed that Rubio clearly led the pack — the 2016 GOP nomination was his to lose.
And lose it, he did.
Only weeks after that Time cover, Rubio made an ill-fated error: He embraced amnesty for millions of undocumented immigrants. Not only was he one of only four Republican senators selling the disastrous "Gang of 8" bill announced with much fanfare in April 2013, but he was the proud face of it, doing the heavy lifting, media appearances and pitches.
Conservatives were horrified — and angry. Like a cocky boxer caught unprepared for a devastating blow, Rubio found himself cornered, on the defensive, in contentious, unfamiliar territory. Worse, Rubio and his staff hit back, outright arguing, and at odds with, with his own base.
Within days, Rubio had gone from "savior" to "traitor."
How had it come to that?
A simple folly: Rubio overestimated his popularity and overplayed his hand.
Politics is nothing if not fickle, and anyone is vulnerable — even Time cover boys. As much as grassroots conservatives loved Rubio, they hated amnesty more.
The breakup was swift, and brutal. While Rubio had started the year at the top of the presidential dream list, by September 2013 his conservative support had plummeted as low as 7 percent and he was now being booed at several events.
Perhaps most tragically, Rubio's effort was all for naught.
The legislation ultimately stalled and, while his advisers undoubtedly thought his amnesty push would at least help him with Hispanic voters, it failed to do so, with one poll finding Hispanics liked Rubio no more than Mitt "Illegals Can Self Deport" Romney, while another even found his standing had decreased among Hispanics.
Even a full year after Rubio's error, some 2016 discussions excluded any mention of him, such as a March 2014 poll on the Drudge Report.
But luck, competition and absence can work miracles.
Luck? The Gang of 8 failed, and it's certainly easier for conservatives to forgive and forget a failed attempt than a successful one. No harm, no foul! And President Obama's executive action on immigration made him the "amnesty pusher," not Rubio.
Competition? When objectively surveying the field, most GOP primary voters notice that almost all contenders are pro-immigration reform, in some form or other.
Absence? Bill Maher said it best once in regard to an overexposed actor's career: "Go away so we have a chance to miss you." Rubio did exactly that — keeping a low profile and his head down for most of the past 18 months, and distancing himself from immigration reform. While other candidates took the helm of the national media spotlight — and tripped up — he quietly continued making moves, but escaping scrutiny.
And if absence makes the heart grow fonder, so, too, does time heal all wounds, with conservatives' anger — nearly two years old now — diminishing.
Jeb Bush's recent PAC announcement created a flurry of contenders rushing to similarly declare their own intentions, and Rubio has jumped in, giving clear indications of his presidential aspirations: a national book tour, family-readiness remarks and dismissing the (foolish) notion that a Bush run would preclude his own.
As if on cue, just as the senator indicates he is serious about a run, a new poll shows him in second place, only three points behind leader Mitt Romney. Are Republican voters revisiting Rubio's strengths against a potential Hillary Clinton candidacy?
Youth, a humble upbringing (crucial in a party defending individual wealth and tax cuts), fluency in Spanish, charisma and a strongly conservative record (aside from immigration reform) certainly make for a formidable candidate.
And while, after Iraq and Afghanistan, America is war-weary and skeptical of globetrotting intervention, the Paris terror attacks and ISIS have certainly helped Rubio, the most hawkish of the 2016 field, deflect concerns about his foreign-policy views.
At a Palm Springs event on Sunday night, hot on the heels of the promising second-place polling, Rubio seemed back in his element: confident, articulate and impressing donors, reporters, and viewers alike.
The buzz is back.
That Rubio has resurrected is certain — whether this phoenix will rise all the way to the White House, though, is the question that remains to be answered.
But if I had to bet? I wouldn't throw out those TIME covers just yet.

Last Soccer Game
Today was Nathan's last soccer game, it was a tie 0-0. Nathan was sad that the season was over and is anxiously awaiting the start of fall soccer. He has enjoyed playing soccer and is very proud of his trophy. I am amazed at how much he has developed as a player in just 2 months. While Nathan was getting ready to play his game, Kayla was playing in the sand from the volleyball court. Oh, and did I mention it was 42 degrees out there and windy!! While Daddy and Emily watched in anticipation for the game to begin Nathan showed his own excitement of the game to start. The game begins... While Nathan was busy playing soccer Kayla and Emily were busy hopping on the manhole. For their snack after the game they had a cupcake cake, made to look like a soccer ball. The kids loved all of the frosting, there was a lot!! Coach Smith handed out the medals and Trophies SO Proud!

Update on Sally
Sally is good, she sleeps during the day and wakes up to play about 7 PM and then I will hear her throughout the night tearing around the house. She is surprisingly VERY patient with the kids, but I can tell she is settling in more because she is fighting harder to escape Kayla's death grip. Kayla LOVES Sally and wants to hold her ALL of the time Sally enjoys to be pet and chase the string, but does not like to be held, and by held I mean forced to stay in one spot for as long as Kayla sees fit. Emily enjoys playing with her as well and wants to do everything her big sister does with Sally, she will pick her up and put her arm under Sally's front paws, kind like what you see in a cartoon and carry her around. Never a dull moment around here. I have found that if I use Sally in the morning to wake up Nathan and Kayla they are much more pleasant to deal with. Nathan has been showing more interest in her lately. He is ready to let her go if she shows signs that she wants to be put down. However this then results in Kayla and Emily chasing her all over the house until she is either caught or escapes into the garage, her safe place."hiding" behind the door I found you!!
You have to imagine Kayla telling Emily to "stop, put her down, she doesn't like that" Not that Emily is listening to her, but if she was and had put the cat down, Kayla would have scooped her up in a matter of milliseconds.

Yes it is true the kids have been in the pool already!! We went to the neighbors house for a dip. The temperature outside was about 85, and the pool water was 73. The kids did not minds too much, plus the fact that when the Parkers turned on the hot tub, they really did not mind the temperature of the water. They did swim in the actual pool, not very much, but it was fun for them to just get wet.

Making Butterflies
Kayla had a homework assignment to decorate a paper butterfly, so I made one for Nathan, Emily, and Maddie. We went in the back yard got out the paint, glue, markers, glitter and any other decorating bits I could find. We then spent the next 1 hour decorating butterflies and I spent the next 1 hour cleaning up. It was fun and I think they enjoyed just making a mess.

Houston Rodeo
The kids are home on Spring Break and yesterday we took the kids to the Houston Livestock and Rodeo. This was the first time that any of us had been and by all accounts it was pretty neat. It is like a state fair, but with a rodeo as well. It runs for 3 weeks and they have live concerts, (pretty big names), every night as well as a rodeo. We spent our time in the children's area, which was from 11:00 until 3:00. We saw pig races, acrobatic dogs, and a baby calf only a few hours old, a petting zoo and so many other things. There was an arena that had the pigs, cows, rabbits, and a few other animals. We even spotted a breed of cow that appeared to be hairless (it looked like a LARGE pig), and Kayla loved the bunny rabbits. There was a birthing area that had animals (cows and pigs) about to give birth and ones that had recently given birth. There was an area where the kids could play like they were the farmers and had to go through this maze doing different farmer chores. In one part they were given chicken food to put in the trough for the chickens. After they "fed" the plastic chickens they picked up an egg (wooden) and moved on to the next task. They planted seeds and collected the vegetable that they planted, milked a cow and collected milk, sheared a sheep, and collected wool... I think you get the idea. Once they finished with their chores they took their harvest to the market and sold it (put it in the appropriate basket) and collected their money (toy) . They then took their money to the store where they could pick out one item to "buy". Nathan and Kayla followed the direction of 1item, however Emily made it out of there with 3 items, she is going to be trouble. It was a fun time and I am sure we will go back.

I think Emily could sleep anywhere. She has fallen asleep in the car (but what kid hasn't), on the kitchen floor, standing up, on the stairs, and in the swing (sorry no picture of that one). I am waiting for her to fall asleep in her food, enjoy the pics...

For almost 40 years, Charles Busch has been performing in his own plays, usually campy comedies based on vintage movies, with such provocative titles as Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, Psycho Beach Party and Die Mommie Die. More often than not, he writes himself in as the central female character, playing in drag with winking homage to Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Kate Hepburn and other iconic stars of the silver screen.
In his own inimitable way, Busch too has become an icon — of the gay community. So it is entirely fitting that he comes to Palm Beach Dramaworks on Saturday, Sept. 16, with his one-man – and occasionally woman – cabaret, kicking off the theater's OutStage series, designed to reach out to area LGBTQ theatergoers.
Busch, now 63, the Tony Award-nominated playwright of 2000's The Tale of the Allergist's Wife and recipient of a Drama Desk Award for career achievement, began his upward climb by spinning gay-centric monologues on tiny regional stages across the country.
"The weird thing is that I've kind of come full circle, starting my life again, in a way. Traveling about, performing at non-profit theaters. After all these years, I'm kind of back to square one a bit," he says by phone from his New York apartment. "What makes a big difference is I play nicer venues and now I travel with Tom Judson, my musical director/accompanist/singing partner."
Encouraged by the careers of such drag performers as Charles Pierce and Charles Ludlum, Busch set his sights on making a living with his wit and talent. And he never gave up that dream.
"I had an insane kind of confidence in myself. I never questioned ever that I would have a career. And yet, it was very odd, I never really thought of the big picture," he says. "Yes, I had incredible drive, and luck factors in. I do think that you have to be in a position where somehow luck can find you."
For Busch, that lucky place was the Limbo Lounge, an unassuming bar in an undesirable corner of Manhattan's East Village.
"The big turning point for me – something I never expected – was when in 1984, (I wrote) this play 'Vampire Lesbians of Sodom,'" an outrageous satire of Biblical silent movies crossed with Sapphic bloodsuckers. "What was supposed to be just for one weekend in this strange East Village bar/art gallery ended up running for five years. And that established me as a writer-actor, but it was just kind of a lark," says Busch. "Within six months, there was a lot of interest in that neighborhood and the art scene there, and I kind of defined it."
Busch credits much of his success to his Aunt Lillian, an Auntie Mame-like bohemian who rescued him from a dreary suburban life and encouraged his flamboyant urge to perform. He also credits her with teaching him never to worry about the reaction of others.
"Well, y'know, one of the great things that my aunt gave me – or maybe it was in my genetic makeup – the concept of 'What will people think?' has just never been part of my consciousness. Which is a great thing. I think 'What will people think?' has stopped more people from having fun or creative excitement," says Busch. "To me, it all seemed kind of outrageous and fun, the idea of putting on a play."
The show he will be bringing to Palm Beach Dramaworks, called simply An Evening with Charles Busch, is a cabaret act of songs, monologues and personal confessions.
"It's just a look at the last five years or so, the latest chapter of my life," he says modestly. "It's just something I sort of stumbled into. I hadn't done any kind of cabaret work since the early '90s, and at that time I was under the impression that my audience was there strictly to see me be outrageous and campy and funny. Maybe I could get away with one ballad, and then there was all sorts of special material.
"Then about five years ago, out of the blue, I received an offer to appear on a cruise ship to do an act. They wanted a full act, they wanted me in drag and they offered a lot of money. It was very short notice. Clearly somebody must have canceled. So I thought, 'OK, I'll throw something together.' It wasn't a long-term plan that suddenly I was going to be a cabaret performer, but it's kind of turned into my career.
"I've always sung a bit in different shows, but not so concentrated as this." says Busch. "And the more you do something, the more confident you get, the better you get. I even took the radical step of taking some singing lessons, which were very helpful. And Tom (Judson) keeps challenging me with more complicated material. We're singing Sondheim and Kurt Weill, not easy stuff."
He chooses musical material for its personal resonance. "Yeah, it should be something that connects to me emotionally through a narrative. Often I tell a personal anecdote that then can lead into a song. If I talk about my childhood with my aunt, how when I first came to live with her I was so confused and blocked up. She used to grow African violet plants and she insisted that I water these plants to get me out of my neurotic self-absorption. So that story kind of leads me into this lovely, touching Leslie Bricusse song called 'What a Lot of Flowers,'" from the movie musical remake of Goodbye, Mr. Chips.
Asked if he has a signature song, Busch responds, "Tom suggested a while back that we do 'Rainbow Connection.' At first I thought, 'Oh, that's a silly Muppet song,' but it's a very beautiful song. It's so much about hope and the need to dredge up hope within yourself. It certainly seems important to have that nowadays. Yeah, that's turned into a bit of a signature song for me."
By now, Busch has performed his cabaret act in 25 cities and four different countries. But he insists this unexpected side career has not taken away from his playwriting.
"I have two plays at the moment that I'm working on. There's a play that's kind of in the 'Allergist's Wife' mold, called 'Visitors in the Dark.' We had a very starry reading of it with Linda Lavin, Rosie O'Donnell and Andrea Martin. We'll see what happens with that.
"Then I have a new little vehicle that we're going to do in the spring. It sounds kind of dotty, but I can write these pastiche pieces so quickly," he concedes. "I'm sort of two different playwrights in a way. There's one career of plays like 'The Allergist's Wife' that I don't appear in that are more naturalistic. And then there are the vehicles that I write for myself that are movie-inspired."
If all goes well, Visitors in the Dark could return Busch back to Broadway. "I'm hopin', honey, I'm hopin'. Light a candle. I've been trying to get back on Broadway. It ain't easy, kid. The last time I was there was writing the book to that notorious flop musical, 'Taboo,'" a 2003 stage biography of British rocker Boy George. "But I've had a number of plays that I've really thought were Pulitzer Prize-worthy. Baby, this is it! But it turned out that they just weren't good enough."
Still, Busch is too busy to let a few setbacks bother him. He has been writing his memoirs and working on adapting a couple of his plays into movies. "One week one project is sort of dead and the other one is moving fast. Then they keep changing." As he adds, "I would say my happiest and most exciting creative experiences have been making the few movies that I've made.
"You're lucky, you're talking to me on a good day," notes Busch. "I'm in a very good, creative place these days, a place of enthusiasm."
An Evening With Charles Busch, Palm Beach Dramaworks, 201 Clematis St., West Palm Beach. Saturday, Sept. 16, at 8 p.m. $75. 561-514-4042.

KINGSTON, N.Y. >> SPEAK, a free suicide prevention cell phone app available from the Ulster County Department of Health and Mental Health, has helped a broad section of the population, Ulster County Executive Mike Hein said.
The executive is convinced the 4-year-old app— a resource he said was designed at a time when nothing of its kind existed elsewhere— has saved lives in Ulster County and across a broader area.
"It's a single tool that quickly provides help in real time to make a difference," he said.
When the app was developed, Hein said he was president of the New York State Association of County Executives and, since Ulster County was the first in the state to offer a resource of this kind, he offered to have it customized for other counties at no cost. It now exists in many counties statewide, Hein said, and has been adopted by states as well.
"People from across the country reached out and learned what we were doing," Hein said.
Sections of the app are tailored to meet the needs or teenagers, adults, the military and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, he said. In the military section, veterans may be connected with "fellow veterans who can truly relate to the challenges and stresses one might be under," Hein said.
The county executive said it has been "meaningful" for him to hear from individuals and families who have been helped by SPEAK, which stands for Suicide Prevention Awareness and Prevention Kit. "When someone tells you that ... you have changed their life, changed the course of their life ... you're able to impact people's lives and make a difference for them and their families," he said. "I firmly believe it's an area where we have an obligation to do something,"
The app offers a selection of features and resources, including ways to instantly call for help by selecting either a local suicide hotline or a national one.
Ellen Pendegar, CEO of the Mental Health Association of Ulster County, who Hein praised and said worked in closely with him to develop and promote the SPEAK app, offered additional information and tips for anyone faced with a friend or loved one dealing with depression and whom they fear might be contemplating suicide.
She said the association provides Safe Talk trainings "to help people to be suicide-alert" and stressed the importance of making friends and loved ones aware "there are people in the community that really care and want them to stay alive even when they feel isolated and that no one cares."
First and foremost, Pendegar said, is to be aware of warning signs or "invitations" that someone you know might be in need of help and not to ignore them or be afraid to reach out. "Instead of warning signs, we talk about invitations. People are trying to tell us. If we look for invitations to help," she said.
And, Pendegar stressed, "Suicidal thoughts can happen to anyone." They can be brought on by large losses, rejection and "difficult times."
"We all need to be comfortable asking direct questions. Are you thinking about suicide? Are you thinking about killing yourself? ... People want to be asked," she said. "If you ask, Are you thinking of hurting yourself, they might say, 'I'm in a lot of pain.' And they're thinking of ending the pain."
Signs of suicidal thoughts, and tips for dealing with them, are listed online at https://goo.gl/4w2sfd.
Finally, if you're not satisfied with the answers you receive from someone you're concerned about, seek help on your own by contacting one of the resources below on their behalf.
Pendegar said the Mental Health Association has partnered with Joe Liuni of the Federated Sportsmen's Clubs of Ulster County in an effort to educate gun owners and thereby limit access to firearms to anyone who might be contemplating suicide. She said that relationship, along with support and encouragement from Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra, have given the Association access to gun shows, gun shops, sportsman's associations and the county fair.
"Safety is number one (among gun enthusiasts)," Pendegar said. "We all have the exact same goal."
In addition to firearms, Pendegar said many sports enthusiasts share the Association's concern about proper medication disposal. While mental health professionals might be largely concerned with getting prescription opioids out of the hands of the people who might abuse them, she said sports enthusiasts also want them properly disposed of and kept out of the county's streams and waterways, she said.
Pendegar praised Ulster County law enforcement for providing medication drop boxes countywide. For a list of drop boxes, visit https://goo.gl/y8kC7t.
In Dutchess County, medication drop boxes are available at http://www.dcrra.org/brochure.PDF.
Information about the Ulster County SPEAK app and additional suicide prevention information is available online at https://goo.gl/hcRcDT.
Dutchess County also has a free HELPLINE Suicide prevention app available at https://goo.gl/vcw718.
In addition to SPEAK app, Family of Woodstock offers a texting service at (845) 679-2485 where youth and adults may access help via text messaging on mobile devices or chat via web browser on any platform. Individuals may contact textmeback.org "for issues involving drug abuse, domestic violence, bullying and other issues involving personal safety, mental health services, housing (or shelter), concerns about the well-being of loved ones, crisis situations, education" and with questions about other resources, according to the website.
Phone resources for suicide prevention include, in Ulster County, the Family of Woodstock Crisis Hotline at (845) 338-2370; in Dutchess County, a 24-hour Helpline at (845) 485-9700; and the National Suicide Hotline at (800) 273-8255.

Added 25 Feb 2013:
Thank you for the comment that probably all antidepressents are contra-indicated with methylene blue. However, SAMe seems to be a useful antidepressent and as far as I can see is not risky when medicating with methylene blue. Anyone any experience of this?

On August 10, the UK's Independent used the Internet to publish a story arguing that America's Founding Fathers could not have foreseen "assault weapons."
In other words, while using a type of publication that did not exist when the First Amendment was written, the Independent is decrying a type of gun that did not exist when the Second Amendment was written.
According to the Independent:
When the Founding Fathers wrote their much admired framework for the governance of America in the late 18th century, it was a world of muskets and militias. If it was anything, the Second Amendment sprung from the revolutionary experience of the American War of Independence, and the ancient right to self-defense. They could not have foreseen the destructive power of modern weaponry, still less the deranged people who would put it to such indiscriminate use.
It is fair to say the First Amendment sprang from centuries of religious persecution, stifled speech, and a shackled press. But the Founders who supported adding the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights could in no way have foreseen the Internet, blog sites, online news outlets, laser printing, and a myriad of other developments that now allow words and ideas to be quickly disseminated to millions of people. Nor could they have foreseen the evil purposes that such expediency would serve–from gang members communicating to cause violence in Chicago to ISIS-inspired attackers communicating the violence they plan to perpetrate to the stories many outlets publish online that are based on little more than hearsay.
But the Independent did not mention the First Amendment. Rather, it continued by lamenting that America has yet to curtail its Second Amendment, particularly lamenting that "assault weapons" have not been banned. They suggest that "this has always puzzled foreigners, particularly Europeans, where, until the fall of the Iron Curtain and the Balkan Wars, even criminals found it difficult to acquire firearms in most states."
Americans are puzzled by Europeans continuing to preach gun control as an answer, when countries like France–where gun control is extremely stringent–witnessed brutal and bloody attacks that took 12 lives on January 7, 2015, and another 130 lives on November 13. More recently, in Germany–where gun control is also stringent–nine people were gunned down after being lured to a Munich McDonald's.
The message reaching America is that gun control does not work.

Arrowhead Christian Academy, northwest Phoenix, AZ, is a local church ministry in the northwest Phoenix, AZ area that, by means of its godly mentors, strong academics, and structured environment, partners with parents to develop students who walk with God, exercise spiritual disciplines, and are well-prepared to serve Him in the church and in the world.
Local Church | Arrowhead Christian Academy is a ministry directly connected to Northwest Valley Baptist Church in Glendale, AZ. We believe that vital involvement in the life of a local assembly of believers is an essential part of God's plan for every believer – students, staff, and faculty alike. We encourage all of our families to be active members of local churches similar in doctrine and practice to Northwest Valley.
Parent Partnership | Educating children is a responsibility God has given to their parents. Arrowhead Christian Academy desires to partner with parents as they fulfill that sacred charge. To form a successful partnership, we strive to clearly communicate the beliefs, values, and goals of ACA to parents of prospective students. Once the partnership has begun, we pursue regular communication with parents.
Atmosphere of Growth | We endeavor to cultivate an environment that encourages continual growth in our students, teachers, and staff. We want our students to fully engage in their academic development and humbly respond to the life coaching of caring mentors. ACA staff and faculty will attempt to model this desire for growth as we ourselves pursue professional development and listen to feedback from parents, students, peers, and leadership.
Personal Discipline | We want our students to develop a personal discipline that makes them useful in service to God and others. To develop this personal discipline, we assign due dates, expect punctual arrival at class, and provide incentives for personal organization.
Strong Academics | We recognize that the foundational subjects of math, English, reading, science, and history are important for our students. Mastery of these core curriculum not only gives our students a better understanding of God's world but also prepares them well for post-secondary higher education.
Biblical Worldview | The fear of the Lord is the beginning of [both] knowledge [and] wisdom.î For an education to be effective, God's Word must reside at its core. ACA's Bible program consists of developing general Bible knowledge, understanding God Himself, studying core doctrines, and honing the skill of applying Scripture to daily choices in the 21st century. (Our complete statement of faith is below.)
A complete biblical worldview, however, permeates all subjects. History instruction is always framed by the reality of God's sovereignty. Science instruction points ever toward the wisdom of the Creator. Math enables better service to others. And the study of language enables a deeper understanding of God's Book and empowers students to communicate with honesty and precision.
Love for God | Christ said that to love God is the greatest commandment; we want Arrowhead Christian Academy to be an environment conducive to developing a relational love for God. We want our students to develop an affection for God, His Word, and His ways ó an affection that naturally flows from gratitude for the saving grace available in Jesus Christ. We will endeavor to model and develop in our students this kind of love for God.
Arrowhead Christian Academy's school emblem features the cross of Jesus Christ at its center. We want Him to permeate all of ACA's academic instruction and campus atmosphere. The blue arrowhead shape not only references our name, but also symbolizes our purposeful approach to fulfilling our Christian educational aims. The arrowhead is framed with green leaves that demonstrate our desire to cultivate an atmosphere of continual academic and spiritual growth among our students, faculty, and staff.
Northwest Valley Baptist Church has always encouraged families to make biblically informed educational choices. Although we do not believe formal Christian education is mandatory for every family, it became obvious over time that our church should start a Christian school to help meet our families' education needs. After much prayer and hard work, NWVBC's deacon board established Arrowhead Christian Academy in the year 2000 to serve students in kindergarten through the eighth grade. Over the next few years the school grew, and by 2005 ACA had its first high school graduating class. ACA currently provides a quality K-12 Christian education option for families in the northwest Phoenix, AZ area.

The following doctrinal statement of Northwest Valley Baptist Church will be a guiding document for all Bible instruction at Arrowhead Christian Academy.
- We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life (II Pet. 1:21; II Tim. 3:16-17).
- We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:1; John 10:30; Matt. 28:19; Acts 5:3-4).
- We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:18-25; Col. 2:9).
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also the spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are now sinners by birth and by choice, positively inclined to evil, and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin without defense or excuse (Gen. 2:17; Rom. 5:12-21; Psalm 58:3; I Cor. 2:14; Rom. 1:20; Gen. 1:26-27).
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood (I Cor. 15:1-4; II Cor. 5:21; I Pet. 2:24; Rom. 5:8-9; I Pet. 1:18-19).
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord, His bodily ascension into heaven and His bodily presence there for us as High Priest and Advocate (I Cor. 15:1-4, 20-25; Acts 1:9-11; Heb. 7:25).
- We believe in the "blessed hope," the personal, bodily, pretribulational, premillenial, and imminent return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (II Thess. 2; John 14:1-3; Matt. 24:44).
- We believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and are thereby children of God and are eternally saved (John 1:12; Gal. 3:24-26; I John 5:13).
- We believe that Satan is literal and personal, the agent of the fall, the prince and power of this world and that he shall be judged and eternally punished (Rev. 20:1-10; Eph. 2:1-4).
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; both of the just and unjust. We believe in a literal heaven and a literal @#!*% ; that the spirits of the unsaved at death descend immediately into Hades where they are kept under punishment until the final day of judgment (Luke 16:19-31; II Pet. 2:9), at which time their bodies shall be raised from the grave, they shall be judged according to their works, and cast into the place of final and everlasting punishment (Mark 9:43-48; I Thess. 4:16-18; Jude 13; Rev. 20:11-15, 21:8).
- We believe that immersion is the only form of baptism revealed and commanded in the Scriptures, that it has no saving power but is only for those who are already saved; and that the new birth, which comes through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is the Scriptural prerequisite for baptism; therefore, only those who are old enough to believe for themselves should be baptized (Acts 2:38; Rom. 6:3-5).
- We believe the Lord's Supper is a memorial of the death of Christ and that only those who have been saved through faith in His atoning blood and are walking in obedient fellowship with Him ought to partake of it. We do not believe in closed communion (I Cor. 11:23-32).
- We believe that the Bible teaches that the following offices of the church should be held only by men: pastor, assistant pastor, deacon (I Tim. 3:1-13; Acts 15).
- We believe that all saved people are called to a life of separation. This separation is in at least two areas: personal and ecclesiastical.
- Personal: Every believer should live a life that is holy, showing a difference between God's children and the world. This includes obedience to the plain commands of Scripture and obedience in areas of conscience as dictated by biblical principles.
- Ecclesiastical: While recognizing the unity of all true believers, it is also evident that unbelief and error in many organized fellowships have developed to the point that recognized and indisputable apostasy exists. We, therefore, disavow the position of the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches, and any other association or fellowship that would follow their principles of compromise with apostasy. We stand in opposition to the Ecumenical Movement, Neo-orthodoxy, New Evangelicalism, and cooperative evangelistic programs between churches and organizations not of like faith (II Cor. 6:14-18; Eph. 5:11-12; Luke 12:51).
- We believe that the modern healing and tongues movements are not in accordance with Scripture and are contrary to sound doctrine (I Cor. 13:8-11, 14:33, 40).
- We believe that it is sin against God for a Christian to be a member of any secret society or lodge such as the Masons (II Cor. 6:14-17).
- We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a monogamous marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, polygamy, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance (Gen. 2:24; 19:5; 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1:26-29; I Cor. 5:1; 6-9; I Thess. 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4).
- We believe that the only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman (Gen. 2:24; Rom. 7:2; I Cor. 7:10; Eph. 5:22-23).

I feel like Ralphie when he went out to the mailbox to get his decoder ring:
Only took a month! Buy hey, that's a good sign right?
Hmm. I guess Ohio people just moved up in priority now that Super Tuesday is over. Before that we were redheaded stepkids to the campaigns. :p
I'm still waiting on the Gore merchandise I ordered in 2000. I keep telling my wife it'll be here any day now…
Stable Rule: never order merch online. Go to the nearest campaign office or rally and ask for the swag. When life is good, the swag is free.
All I want is a cheap-ass yard sign.
And it better be free.
Especially since I'm going to donate all of my extra tables and chairs to Obama's Columbus campaign office.
#5: I'm sure you can score a yard sign. Want me to pick up and deliver your stuff? I'm taking down a big ass table on Monday.
If you go to the Campaign office will it be free??
