Living So Abundantly09/30/2012
Girl! I am glad you put this list together. I was so in the mood for something pumpkin, so I made the pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. Stop. Me. Now. I need some self-control. Really.
My favorite recipe prior to trying this is Starbuck's Style Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins:
I really enjoy the best ever pumpkin bread: http://livingsoabundantly.blogspot.com/2011/10/best-ever-pumpkin-bread.html
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between canned pumpkin puree and pumpkin I cook myself?
Christina @ Sweet Pea's Kitchen09/28/2012
What a great pumpkin roundup! I don't know which on to try first! 🙂
These are my two favorite pumpkin recipes here at http://www.spendwise.org/2011/10/2-favorite-pumpkin-desserts.html
I love fall and the beautiful colors. I also love to puree our pumpkin at Halloween if it is still edible, freeze it and use it to make a pie for Thanksgiving.
I just made boxed spice cake mixed with one 15 oz. can of pumpkin and nothing else. Made them as mini muffins! So yummy, so good!
When we were doing the gluten free casein free diet with our kids cooking with pumpkin was a GREAT option!
Here are 2 allergy free posts with pumpkin ingredients:
Pumpkin is one of my fave Fall things. I think I may just have to go down the list and make as many of these as possible. I saw earlier today a recipe for making your own homemade pumpkin ice cream. I was really excited, but then I realized I couldn't make it. No ice cream maker! Reason #1 to get one of those gadgets? Thanks for the "pumpkin love".
Thanks for all the great recipes Andrea! Fall is my favorite time of year, I get so excited to go to the pumpkin farm with our kids and bake all kinds of goodies.
I can't wait to see your new kitchen, I know you will too.
Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles09/27/2012
Awwww…thanks so much for ALL the pumpkin love! Crazy how a person forgets about all their own favorites – there's just not enough time to make and eat all the goodness! That pumpkin pie delight dessert looks intriguing – think that's where I'll start. 🙂

I love screencapping! I love making video even more. Now you can go and make your own screencaps! Come back and see me if you're not sure how.
I love technology!
edit: I've added a little better video. To get the most out of it, hit the "share" button and then select "downlowd." That will, in most cases, pop up the video in another screen. If you merely hit the full screen button, the video will be a bit grainy.

Today marks my 2 year "blogversary"! To be quite honest with you, I cannot believe it's been two years. I'm quite certain that this is the longest I have ever actually stuck to anything on a daily basis and I have all of you to thank for that! If it wasn't for YOU, I wouldn't be here everyday sharing my deal finds, product reviews and giveaways. Your support means more than you'll ever know!
Two years ago when I registered for a blogger account, I not only had no idea what I was doing, but I had zero faith that anyone would read it! But sure enough you came, you commented, you shared in my deal finding obsession and slowly (very slowly) I began to learn from others and build a foundation and a place that parents could visit and save some much needed cash on those "must have" items!
In the last two years I have learned to know myself better, I have made friendships and bonds that will continue far beyond blogging and I have loved every.single.minute.
With that being said, it wouldn't exactly be a "blogversary" without a party, now would it? Beginning August 19th and running through August 28th, I will feature 10 straight days of GIVEAWAYS during the 2nd annual Bloggy Birthday Bash! Oh and I have lined up some AMAZING sponsors!
I'll give you a little hint on two of them…
1. You are going to flip for one our sponsors
2. What rhymes with Kangaroo?
That's all you get for now……I'll be announcing our sponsors tomorrow..so make sure you stop by!
Here's the REALLY fun part! It wouldn't be a party without friends and if you take the button below and place it on your blog or website, you'll earn 5 extra entries into EVERY giveaway during the Bloggy Birthday Bash! Once the giveaways go live, simply leave five SEPERATE comments on those giveaways (not on this post) letting me know that you took the Bloggy Birthday Bash Button and you'll gain 5 extra entries! Simple enough, right?

Oh but wait…there's more! If you take the Bloggy Birthday Bash Button above OR Blog about the Bloggy Birthday Bash, you'll also be entered to win a $25 Stride Rite Gift Card! Simply leave a comment on THIS POST letting me know that you took the button OR blogged about the event and you'll be entered to WIN!
Once you take the button or blog about the event, you can earn an additional entry by tweeting this post!
Looking forward to seeing all of you here for the party!

I said Microsoft is turning its head here. Today if you type in "Microsoft, Novell, Agreement" in Google you'll get few million results. Perhaps this is the hottest topic in the IT World.
Reaction from the stock market is mixed about Novell's move. Checking out NOVL's market capitaliztion you'll see they are only 2.25b compare to MSFT's 282.43b. If MSFT is so positive about the marriage why don't they simply buy NOVL over? My naive insight is that this is not the right time to buy with NOVL's P/E at 332 times.
I think MSFT is taking a wait and see attitude as the pack is said to be valid until 2012. Intelligence of the crowd will determine MSFT's next move. If it works out and the customers like it and IT community approves it the cash rich MSFT can make this turn permanent easily.
Google's Eric Schmidt comes from Novell I wonder what is in his mind right now?

Wednesday, March 01, 2006
I'm all aquiver with excitement this morning because by this time tomorrow I think I'm going to be able to post about something to do with the Q-word!! (Quilts, for the uninitiated.) Since the only blog ring I belong to is the Artful Quilters, I sometimes feel a twinge of guilt that I tend to go long stretches without accomplishing anything in that area or posting anything about them. If someone is surfing through the ring and comes on my site during one of those Quilt Drought periods, they probably think they've taken a wrong turn somewhere as they scroll down through movie reviews, book chats, photos of my dogs, or various rusty objects, or shoes, and who knows what else, without even a hint of fabric or thread to be seen. But you know, I was ME before I was a quilter and I will be ME even if I ever give it up, and all those things I mentioned above are important to me. And since RSR is a sort of public microcosm of DebWorld, I'm not likely to change how I do things around here. But this week, yes This Week, at long last, I'm going to do my part to uphold the quilt content on ye olde blogge ringe. Stop by tomorrow and see! Depending on what I get accomplished today, there may even be a wee contest involved. Yeah, baby! Today, though, since I'm not QUITE ready for the unveiling, we're going on an art tour of my house. Several days ago, Cate took us on an art tour in her house and I thought "oooh, cool idea, I should stea...er...um, BORROW that idea sometime". Then a couple of days after that, acumamakiki took us on an art tour of her house. And I had the same thought. So today I'm doing it too, mainly to get the thought out of my brain. Heh. Lots of photos below, but not a lot of words after this all-too-wordy introduction. So here we go! To start with, this first photo isn't in my house unless you count the fact that it's lurking on my 'puter's hard drive. But this first one is my Daily Art Thang. It's a photo I took about a month ago of one of the Rusty Things I love so much, only this time I coaxed J to put himself in the picture. "A Glimpse of Johnny" And now for the tour: As you walk in my front entrance, into the great room, the first thing you're likely to see is this wall: The quilt on the left is one I made shortly after my one and only snorkeling experience in the Bahamas (well, ok, snorWALKeling, because I don't swim), while the one on the right was made by my friend Nancy. She made it to donate to Project Linus, but I loved it so much that I told her if she'd give it to me instead I'd make two quilts to donate to PL in its place. She did, so I did. These are all on my fireplace mantle: a bundle study by Sonji Hunt framed fiber postcards by Lauren Fureymore and Liz Berg And over in the dining area is this painting I did in college. Yes, it's on the floor leaning against the wall in the opening of another antique mantle that we use almost like a sideboard in the dining room. I like it there. The painting, I mean. Well, and the mantle too. (Historical note: My college roommate HATED this painting and said it gave her nightmares, so we only had it in our place for one semester before it went to hang on my parents' dining room wall for years.) If we wander into my bedroom, you'll see this print by Frances Caple: and this small watercolor that I bought from an artist doing paintings on the square in Cozumel, Mexico In the guest room is this painting, which is also one I did in college: and this framed page from The Delineator magazine. It was a fashion magazine of sorts back at the turn of the last century. This page is from an issue printed in 1905. If we pop into the guest bathroom, you'll see this quilted print on fabric, which is also by Frances: And then we wander into the studio/puter room/ library. LOTS of stuff in here, since it's where I spend most of my time. The stuff below isn't everything on the walls, but it shows you some of my favorites. Just inside the door is this grouping: The top one is by Karen Cote. The bottom two are by me. (The bottom one is a self-portrait I did a few years ago.) This grouping is near my sewing machine: The pink-framed print is another page from an old fashion magazine, this one from 1924. Moving clockwise from there is a couple of Laurel Burch plates, a mermaid tile I bought at a little gift shop on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a Laurel Burch poster I got as a gift manyMANY years ago when I did display design for a department store in Cincinnati, a little beaded piece I made from a scrap of my favorite-ever t-shirt when it was finally too disreputable to wear in public, a quilted painting by marion barnett, and a peacock feather mask I made 20 years ago. Above the 'puter desk: in the lower left we have the doll mermaid that my friend Martha gave me for my birthday last year. Moving clockwise from there is three small pieces I did at various times, "Octopus Garden" by Laume, and "Blue Goddess #6" by Virginia Spiegel. (An aside: We have some plans to update the house this summer and one of the things on my list is that I am SO going to put an interesting color on the walls in here and tear down that HORRID wallpaper border that I don't know why I ever wanted!!!) And last, the smallest thing I have to show, but I love these - a pair of TINY paintings that hang on the other wall next to the 'puter desk: This whole grouping - both pieces with frames - is only about 10" tall. The top one is a tiny painting (not print, but I'm not sure if it's acrylics or oils) that I found lurking in an antique shop in Georgetown, KY. I know absolutely nothing about it except that I loved it. The bottom one is something else I bought on the square in Cozumel. It's a painting done on a bird feather. The feather is 1 1/4" tall, counting stem. Pretty amazing, yes? And that's the highlights of the things you'd find on my walls! Hope you enjoyed the tour. What's on your walls?

It all began with a visit to the South Fork where Terry Lucas, director of the Shelter Island Library, and some members of the Shelter Island Friends of the Library traveled to Bridgehampton to take part in a seminar at the Hampton Library.
As the group gathered in the library's downstairs community room, one of the Shelter Island participants noticed that the children's area was also on the lower level, adjacent to the community room.
This was in stark contrast to the Shelter Island Library where the kids' section has always been on the main floor and, at times, bothersome to the adult patrons. (more…)

This is simply the best lay flat pool discharge hose on the market today. Please do not confuse it with the junk that you can find at your local pool store that resembles a blue water balloon.

If someone has suffered a burn:
(Via Fox News)
1. Make sure they are treated immediately by running the affected area under cool water for at least 10 minutes or until the pain feels better.
2. Do not use ice, gels or creams as they can damage tissues and increase risk of infection.
3. Once the burn has cooled, cover it with kitchen film.
4. If the burn is on the face, hands, feet, or larger than the size of the person's hand, seek further medical advice.
Helpful Tips Dealing with Peer Pressure:
1. Explain the definition of "peer pressure", and give some related & non-related examples of what it can look like.
2. Remind them that it can be hard to say 'no' to your friends, but it is not okay for them to pressure you like this — and it's not your fault.
3. Explain that by saying no, you are being the bigger person. Teach them to say no with confidence. Ask them if they've ever practiced or had to say "no."
4. Teach them to be the kind of person who encourages others to do something positive instead of self-destructive.
More Helpful Tips on Peer Pressure from Moms & Guns
Instead of just "telling" your kids what to do, we found it more helpful to engage them in painting a picture of what negative peer pressure looks like in contrast to positive peer pressure. First, we need to define both clearly for our kids.
- Defining negative peer pressure – someone in your own age group challenging or daring you to do something to prove your strength, courage or willingness to be like them or to fit into their group
- Defining positive peer pressure – become the person strong enough to say "no" and stick to your "no" simply because you already fit into any group because of your strength, courage or willingness to do the right thing for all people
- Examples of what negative peer pressure looks like:
- cheating on a test,
- sneaking in to records' room to change your own grade on a test,
- taking drugs,
- stealing,
- pre-marital sex,
- __________
- Examples of what positive peer pressure looks like:
- knowing you are already accepted and loved in your family and walking in confidence with a sense of belonging
- knowing you are valuable and you don't have to "prove" your worth to anyone
- knowing what you believe and sticking to it – being a person of character with standards
- listening to your gut sense as well as knowing when something is wrong – having standards
- knowing in your heart something a friend (or stranger) says to you is wrong and laughing at their suggestion that anyone would think it okay to actually do,
- being the strong person with courage to stop the flow of wrong with a solid "no" that can't be shaken
- ________
Please SHARE with all your family & friends.

Firestone was founded by Harvey Firestone in the year 1900. The first location was in Akron, Ohio, which is where the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is based - Firestone's main competitor. For 75 years, these two stores were the biggest car tire suppliers in the content. For the famous Model T car made by Henry Ford, Ford went with Firestone tires.
A Canadian division was incorporated in 1918, and in 1928 they added a factory in England (though this closed in 1979). Today, it's one of the biggest tire retailers in the country.
Famous moments in Firestone's history
Throughout the decades, Firestone tire have been used on some pretty famous cars! Here are some of the biggest moments in their history.
In 1906, Henry Ford chose Firestone tires for the iconic Model T. The next decade, they had a series of tires for race car driver Barney Oldfield.
In 1911, the driver that won the Indy 500 race was driving with Firestone tires. From 1920 to 1966, every single car that won the race was equipped with Firestone tires!
In World War II, Firestone produced a lot of the rubber products and tires for the U.S. military, as well as things like plastic helmet liners, kegs to transport food, artillery shells, and more.
Starting in 1950s, Firestone began providing tires to Formula One drivers.
The late 1960s saw the rise of the popularity of muscle cars. Firestone made a tire called the Firestone Wide Oval that was found on many of the cars in the period, and are coveted today as an authentic touch.

No New Year movement gains momentum
[Tuesday, January 27, 2009 12:01]
Dharamsala, Jan. 27 – As the Tibetans all over the world plan to skip celebrations of the Tibetan New Year 2136, the act of passive resistance is gaining momentum everywhere including Dharamsala, the exile headquarters of the Tibetan government.
Four NGO's of the Tibetan community vowed to observe the Tibetan New Year with prayer vigils and minus any festivities to mourn the slaying of over two hundred Tibetans by Chinese forces in the aftermath of March uprising in Tibet last year, and to protest China's ongoing crackdown.

The Tibetan Women's Association, Gu-Chu-Sum Ex-political Prisoners Movement, National Democratic Party of Tibet and Students for a Free Tibet (India), through a press release issued today, said, "Instead of the usual celebrations marked by singing, dancing and other festivities, silence will be observed and butter lamps will be lit in the temples and homes to pray for the deceased."
Dr. B. Tsering, president of the Tibetan Women's' Association, said, "This year, we honor the sacrifices of countless Tibetans who rose up to show China and the world that even after 50 years of brutal occupation, Tibetans are determined to regain our freedom."
Ven. Ngawang Woebar, president of Gu-Chu-Sum Ex-Political Prisoners' Movement, said, "On the eve of the commemoration of two historic uprisings - one in 1959 and the other in 2008 - we call on Tibetans worldwide to join us in re-dedicating ourselves to the cause of our nation."
"We mourn our brothers and sisters who were killed in China's violent crackdown while we stand in solidarity with those who continue to suffer under China's totalitarian rule," added Dr. B Tsering.
Meanwhile, young Tibetans expressed their will to skip the New Year celebrations at a weekend event called "Talk Tibet" where discussions are held and films are screened on Tibet.
"This could be the singular historic moment of becoming the most participated Tibetan political event, simply because, it is an act of passive resistance, in which everybody can take part," adding, "It is simple yet a very powerful nonviolent resistance against which China has no power
Tsering, a monk from Kirti Monastery said, "No Losar" is a call I first heard from Tibet way back in November 2008 and the idea of nonparticipating has been spreading among Tibetans in Tibet and exile through blogs and word of mouth".
Dhondup Lhadhar, General Secretary of Tibetan Youth Congress, who was at the discussion, said, "whatever we are doing, both inside or outside, our message should be one, it's to remember and pay tribute to the Tibetan martyrs of 2008 Tibet uprising and to mark 2009 as Black Year, as it is the 60 year of Chinese invasion of Tibet and 50 years of Chinese occupation of Tibet and our exile."
With the Tibetans in Tibet wowing to skip celebrations this year of the Tibetan New Year, reports are coming in that the authorities in China are deliberately encouraging the Tibetans in Tibet to celebrate the New Year with pomp and festivity. The authorities are giving out gifts and special presents to Tibetans to encourage them for celebrations, sources with contacts in Tibet told
. An anonymous person from Tibet has sent a poster calling for 'NO Losar' to
Tibetan New Year or Losar is one of the most auspicious and festive holidays in the Tibetan calendar and is traditionally celebrated with grandeur for a minimum of three days. This year Losar falls on 25th - 27th of February, just over two weeks before the 50th commemoration of the March 10th Tibetan National Uprising of 1959. March 10 will also mark one year since protests by Tibetan monks in Lhasa erupted into a nationwide uprising.

Brady got his first bath last night.. along with the help of about 400 little mother hen hands. right before heading out the door for his 2 week check up at the pediatrician I noticed his belly button had finally fallen off- this is always like a mini milestone to me/us
a baby's first bath!
I'll never forget Jolie and Parker's first bath- Jordan was terrified to hold them in the water so I pretty much did it by myself. baths took about an hour to do for both of them when it was all said and done.. being able to bathe them at the same time was a game changer!
Baker screamed through the entire thing only to be silenced by Parker when she unknowingly dumped about a half a cup of water over her face/head.
that might have been my first freak out with three kids.
Brady, on the other hand, loved it.. for the most part. the warm water spilling over his baby head and a sudsy rubdown from his three older sisters, this was definitely a family affair and something the girls have continued to chatter on about! it seemed chaotic and crazy in the moment but looking back at these pictures it was like a luxurious little spa date for our handsome man!
I can never repay Brittany for her talented hand in capturing these special moments with our family. she's taken thousands of images of me, Jordan and the kids. such an amazing friend and sister, not to mention that my girls absolutely adore her.. bonus for me.. she happens to be awesome behind the camera.

Paramount mark the release of Rise of the Guardians with a film-themed attraction in Leicester Square.
To celebrate the release of Rise of the Guardians on Nov 30, Paramount Pictures UK, in association with Westminster Council, have launched a Magical Funland in Leicester Square.
The first-such attraction to be hosted in the newly revamped Square, the Funland was officially opened by the film's stars Chris Pine and Isla Fisher at the UK premiere of the latest DreamWorks Animation last Thursday (Nov 15) and will be open daily from 12-6pm for the next month.
In keeping with the film, activities include the Jack Frost Ice Slide and the Tooth Fairy Bungee and given the plethora of children we saw taking advantage of the Funland yesterday in fittingly biting cold conditions, it looks like it's going to be a hit.
And if anyone has ever been in the M&M's World at any time of the day on any day of the week, you'll know that there will never be a shortage of children - or the young-at-hearts - around in Leicester Square.
Ya-Lin Chen, head of promotions at Paramount Pictures UK, commented: "I am thrilled that we've been able to do something different for this amazing release. Not only does it really reflect the magical nature of the film, but it's something fun and different for families to do on a day out in the West End."
Rise of the Guardians will be released by Paramount on Nov 30 in the UK.

Animal house fraternity bans pledging after 1o deaths. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, one of the nation's oldest fraternities, has announced Friday that it will ban pledging. This historical announcement comes after years of notoriety and the deaths of 10 pledges in just the last seven years. The deaths have been directly attributed to practice of hazing and the abuse of drugs and alcohol.
Critics and college officials have praised Sigma Alpha Epsilon's efforts to end the practice of hazing and hopes that it will influence other fraternities to examine their pledging process. Others claim that the practice of hazing pledges will never end. It will just go underground and possibly become more dangerous. Fraternity brothers across the nation, questioned the decision to ban pledging, saying it honors long-established traditions that secure lifelong bonds within the fraternity.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded in 1856 and currently has over 14,000 fraternity brothers in 240 chapters nationwide. There are also over 190,000 living alumni. Famous alumni include William Faulkner, T. Boone Pickens and President William McKinley. Times have been better for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, who has had over 100 chapters suspended for animal house like antics, that have resulted in the deaths of 10 undergrads since 2006. Many other chapters have been placed on probation. According to the North American Inter-Fraternity Conference, there has been more than 60 fraternity deaths nationwide since 2005.
In 2012, a freshman Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge at Arizona State University was found dead in a nearby lake. Later that year the university banned the fraternity from campus. In another hazing incident in 2012, a University of Idaho freshmen pledge was found dead under a bridge.
Faced with being described as an animal house fraternity, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity has banned pledging and has now adopted new measures to recruit potential fraternity brothers. Like an exclusive Country Club, the fraternity will now extend bids or invitations to join the fraternity. Upon acceptance of the invitation to join, the new member will be offered immediate acceptance into the fraternity. The new member must complete a safety training program within 96 hours of acceptance. This safety training program is named after Carson Starkey, a freshman who died of alcohol poisoning at a Sigma Alpha Epsilon event at California Polytechnic State University. Starkey's parents praised these moves saying that lives will be saved. "We are almost speechless," his mother, Julia, said recently. "It's a much safer environment. The students won't have to go through harmful traditions."
The bigger problem at fraternity houses is alcohol, according to attorney Douglas Fierberg. Mr. Fierberg represents the family of George Desdunes. George Desdunes was a Cornell undergrad, who died when he was tied up and blind-folded and forced to drink alcohol in another Sigma Alpha Epsilon hazing incident. Mr. Fierberg recognized that recent changes in pledging were a start, but not an end to the problems with fraternities. He said it's a move in the right direction.
Now that the animal house fraternity bans pledging, will it now honor its commitment to changing a time-honored tradition of fraternity hazing, or will it succumb to the critics charge that it will it will only drive the long-established practice into a more covert, and more dangerous form of indoctrination. Will the term animal house fraternity be a thing of the past.

Justin's Story: The Battle for Veteran Benefits
Related Story
CAMDENTON - Justin Avery enlisted in the Navy in 1989 as a helicopter mechanic. When he went to re-enlist, the doctors found a problem.
"They found a breathing problem. It turned out that the respirator that they had given me to protect me from the chemicals was the wrong one. The little fibers inside of my lungs had been burned chemically."
He also fell off a helicopter halfway through his service. "Turned out that I had actually gotten compression fractures...it has affected me as I've gotten older to the point that when the muscle spasms I can't walk. So most of the time I'm usually utilizing a cane."
He retired from the Navy in 1993, 30 percent service connected disabled. This 30 percent service connected disability means the VA calculates his total disabilities to the 30 percent level, meaning he receives $389 every month as a single man. "That rating is placed how much that person is losing based on full time employment. It's decent money to live on. It's all tax exempt. It's supposed to make up for them not able to work a full time job. But it's not enough where you're gonna be able to retire and, you know, live wealthy, but you can support yourself on that," Missouri Veterans Commission supervisor Eugene O'Loughlin said.
Avery was last employed as a nuclear security officer in California in 2009. "I was taking three to four days off a week just to be able to recover from the impact of that job on my disabilities. The end result was I finally couldn't do the job any more."
He then moved from California to Missouri to stay with family and friends. He has also been married twice and divorced twice. "Right now I'm homeless. I'm counting on family members to put me up because the financial obligations of day-to-day life are too much. I don't live extravagantly, I just can't afford to live day-to-day if certain things pop up."
The Present
"I'm still in a position where I'm fighting to live a normal life. I can't do stairs, I can't stand for long lengths of time, I can't walk for long periods of time. I can't sit for long periods of time. I need devices to help me sleep, devices to help me breathe."
Now Avery is 90 percent service connected disabled, meaning he receives $1,661 every month. This 90 percent comes from a combined rating of limited motion of arm at 40 percent, tinnitus at ten percent, chronic bronchitis at 30 percent, neurosis at 30 percent, and intervertebral disc syndrome at 40 percent." When I tell people that I'm a 90 percent service connected disabled vet, they look at me like you're doing just fine and healthy."
He filed for 100 percent service connected disability, also called individual unemployability, in July 2011, meaning he would receive $2,769 every month. But he has yet to hear anything. "I understand that there's an increased workload. But when you have doctors notifications from the VA stating that you are unemployable, it shouldn't take 18 months to be able to sign that paper work and get that resolved."
For the time he has waited, he could be looking at more than $18,000. 'That check sitting in my account drawing interest would be making money but right now it's sitting in the government's account making them money," Avery said.
"If he's 90 percent service connected he'd still be receiving the $1,661 each month. Then when they VA makes the determination to grant IU it automatically raises to the $2,769 rate and they give him a retroactive paycheck back to the first day he requested it. So if it's been 18 months of processing time, about $18, 000 will come," O'Loughlin said.
The Process
Avery works with the Missouri Veterans Commission and Disabled American Veterans to help with the benefits process. The commission works as a liaison between the veteran and the VA.
To file a claim, it takes a month for the VA to receive all of the documents and send them where they need to go, three to four months in predetermination, three to four months of rating time, and one month of final processing time. This totals about eight to ten months and this is for a standard claim. "It is pretty much a first come first serve basis when they receive the letter or the claim it gets date stamped. Every page of it gets date stamped. And that's the order that they work it in. I mean it's as simple as that. He's not being pushed to the side."
However, the individual unemployability Avery has applied for takes longer. "We're seeing a lot of claims for IU taking any where from 18 to 24 months just because they're complex. There are times where I don't wanna say it gets lost in the cracks, but, you know, they're gonna go through all of the medical records, all of the service connections right now to find out what the severity of his disabilities are now."
But O'Loughlin admitted 18 months of waiting is too long. "It's kind of extreme. The VA does have a one-year red flag time period so his file would be red flagged at this point. But it is a bit beyond what it should take."
O'Loughlin said the process is so meticulous because the veteran could have been unable to work in the past, but if their disability improved, allowing them to work, the VA will make sure they work. "The VA would much rather send them through vocational rehab or educational benefits to retrain them to do another job so that they can actually participate and contribute to society, as opposed to, I don't want to say living off society, but in a way that is what we're trying to do."
The Problem
O'Loughlin said six years ago, the St. Louis Regional office processed about 6,000 claims. Now there are more than 11,000 claims pending with 250 employees working them. "I know the simple solution is then well hire more people. But that's not a simple solution because it takes between 3 to 5 years to be proficient in the laws concerning the disabilities regarding veterans. So you're actually cutting down on the process when you're hiring new people so it."
O'Loughlin said the system is outdated. "The Lincoln administration designed this to handle a thousand claims a month. Now it's 11 times that. The system needs to be reworked a bit."
However, O'Loughlin said in 2006, veterans in Missouri received $600 million in compensation and pension benefits. Now Missouri veterans receive $1.2 billion. "That's an incredible pat on the back for the VA, service officers and veterans."
But O'Loughlin said 90 percent of the veterans he works with still need more money.
O'Loughlin began his career at the Missouri Veterans Commission six years ago. Since then, he said his business has tripled. "We're getting a lot from Iraq and Afghanistan but also getting a lot from post-Vietnam and pre-Persian Gulf War, and a fair number of Vietnam veterans. I can't even say that the majority of the clients that we have coming in are young, middles aged or old I mean because we have the whole gauntlet of them."
O'Loughlin said he sometimes even sees veterans claiming benefits they do not deserve, benefits they want to claim because they do not want to work any more. "I see people that are trying to file for a claim that to me appears to have no validity whatsoever. But I represent the veteran so its my job much like a lawyer put together the best case I can and submit it to the VA and let the VA decide. Keep in mind, they're part of that 11,000 claims that are being processed with the VA right now and they're slowing down the system."
The Future
"It's an overwhelming sensation of frustration to the point where most people would just quit and I think honestly that that's what's structured for them to do. That's why you see such a large population of homeless veterans. That's why you see such a large suicide rate in veterans," Avery said.
Avery has contacted politicians. "Come to find out from my veterans rep that the politician sends a note back to the veterans rep who then contacts the VA and because they're now basically a whistle blower, their file goes to the bottom...by contacting politicians to get assistance, you actually delay your benefits."
Avery has also tried contacting the VA itself. "Those two phone calls last week resulted in a 'We're too busy. Thank you for calling. Call again another time.' It was just an automated program."
O'Loughlin said he knows veterans are on hold at the VA for at least 45 minutes. "Fifty percent of my job is answering phone calls as to why this taking so long. But I'm proud of what VA is doing. What they have is a runaway freight train and they're trying to keep the reigns on it pretty good. And I think they're doing all right."
But at this point, Avery is tired.
"At what point do you say, 'You know what? Here's our veterans. Here's the face of our veterans. Here's the guy that's speaking up and this is everybody wants to...this is the time for [people to say you know what we heard his story," Avery said. "There needs to be an outcry from the people."

River Leen: Cycle and Pedestrian Route
River Leen: Access and Biodiversity Study
This latest town planning study is looking to create a new cycle and pedestrian route along the River Leen and is largely the work of Keith Morgan and the transport planning department at Nottingham City Council. It's basically extending the already successful Big Track idea. I will be creating a historical and visual guide book of sorts and looking for other peoples' responses to the route. Feel free to add your ideas and comments below. Ta.

My wife and I have been working with Turquoise a good bit in our wood turned works. The project titled "Blue Starburst Bowl" received some great feedback along with a couple requests for a blog on our process of inlaying with natural stone.
Unfortunately we have never set out to formally document our process so we don't have any photos of intermediate steps. Therefore, I'll do my best to describe the steps in detail.
Starting out
First you need something to inlay. We have inlaid pens, wine stoppers, and now bowls. Our first attempts were done on pens and wine stoppers since they are small and easy to experiment with plus, if you mess up you won't be out much time or money. Pretty much anything can be inlaid with stone as long as there is enough material to carve about a 3/16 to 1/4 inch depth. Running shallower than this will present a couple risks such as filling it up with glue too fast which will result in more gaps between stones. Another risk is if grinding/sanding takes you deeper than expected you could find yourself removing your inlay altogether. Going deeper is fine but you will need more stone and more glue to fill the voids. Deeper is a safer starting point than attempting to go shallow. Depth and glue provide the stone the support it will need to stand up to the grinding process and reduces the chances for stones to be knocked out.
One key step in this part is to seal your wood to prevent staining by the glue. I use some friction wax like Mylands and just ensure it is not in the void you plan to glue the stone.
Type of voids
The easiest, in our opinion, is a simple ring. We started by cutting a 1/4" wide groove in a pen and began experimenting. Our first attempts allowed us to experience the risks of going too shallow or using too much glue described above. Other types of voids include natural cracks, beetle holes, knot holes, etc. The blue star burst on our bowl was done using a dremel to hand carve the void. Note that it is also fun to experiment with building up a glue/stone structure on a base material and then grinding/polishing this into a gem like finish. I did this on the top of a bottle stopper and it came out nice.
Glue and Stone Selection
The glue we use is a clear thin CA glue. Activator is used very lightly (as it will discolor the glue) in cases where the stone work is on the side and at risk of the stones falling out before the glue sets. Pens for example with rings going around the pen require a small touch/spray of activator to set the first couple pieces and then we try to set the rest of the stones in place and apply the glue only when needed. The trick is finding the point where stones can be set and worked in place with a slight stickiness and trying to stay ahead of the glue setting. This reduces the amount of glue you add which helps make sure you don't fill the void with more glue than stone.
We have found that stone selection is important as well. This is still a point of experimentation but generally choosing the largest stone that fits will require smaller stones/chips/dust to be worked in to fill the gaps. My wife who does all the stone inlay continues to refine this technique and we are still learning. Using just stone dust seems to yield a duller look whereas using only large sized stones yields large gaps between stones. Best advice is to just start experimenting and share what you learn!
When you are done gluing in stone the work should look like you have rock candy on it and above the grade/level of the base material. The goal is to bring all the portions of the void inlaid with stone above the surface such that you are grinding the stone down to the surface.
Once the glue is dry we can start grinding down the stone. Different stones have different levels of hardness and turquoise, while not the hardest, is also not soft. I use a steel flat file to grind the stone. I start with about 1000 rpm on the lathe and use the tool rest for support. Consider all points of general lathe safety and remember to watch fingers, eyes, ears, and airways. The file will also eat into your tool rest so please keep this in mind. I start with a gentle approach and move the file slowly into the work until it starts making contact with the stones. You don't want to get too aggressive because you will risk knocking out stones and having to repeat the above section. Remember patience in this part of the process.
As you grind your way down I like to stop about 1/16" above the surface and check for a few things. First, check to see if any stones were knocked out and need filling. If so, use the same process as above and select appropriate sized stones. We generally go to small chips/dust. Second, see if any gaps need filling with glue. I generally just put a healthy coat of CA glue on at this point to make sure all the little cracks and chips are filled solid. If not they tend to be filled with saw dust and or stone dust making the work look a little dirty. Finally check to see if the work is grinding evenly. With the file bouncing on the work you can have "waves" form in the grinding process from the tool chatter. I increase the speed of the lathe to work that out and even it up.
Now back to grinding and take it all the way to the surface. Don't be shy. Get the wood with the file too!
Sanding and Finishing
At this point you can finish your work like any other. I start with an 80 grit sand paper and then work all the way up to 800 or 1000 grit. If I find that there are still little cracks and chips filling up with dust then I blow it out with compressed air and use a little mineral oil and a cloth to clean it up. Finally I finish it off with a 3 stage buffing system or just continue with Mylands friction wax or mineral oil.
Good luck and enjoy!
-- Bill

Exclusive: Phil Elmore shares results of his experiences with both types of doctors
Published: 7/30/2014
Reposted with permission from PHIL ELMORE and WND.com
With a sudden, alarming crunch, I felt something give way in my lower back. "OK," said Dr. Hadley. "That's it."
"That's it?" I asked him.
"That's it," he said again.
Curiously, the pain in my lower back, which had been interfering with each step I took, was immediately lessened. While it isn't entirely gone, it's safe to say that something significant has changed. The reduction in pain, coupled with the fast response, would seem to justify the rather undignified 20 minutes or so that I'd spent wearing "community shorts" provided to me in the office. ("You wash the 'community shorts,' right?" I asked, and was reassured that of course they do.)
After a pair of X-rays and several other scans, including thermal scans of my neck, upper back and lower back, I spent a few minutes in the waiting area while Dr. Hadley went over the data. A large flat-screen television in the clean, nicely decorated, well-appointed offices was playing what I assume to be a loop of video footage. One of these was one of those bizarre computer-generated YouTube-style videos in which artificial speech synthesizers read dialogue provided. A computer-generated doctor and a computer generated patient discussed chiropractic and whether it is the purview of "quacks."
Well, is it? I wondered. It was after my brief wait that the doctor pushed back into place whatever was out of place. This was something involving my sacroiliac joint. Medicinenet.com explains that this is "formed by the connection of the sacrum and the right and left iliac bones. The sacrum is the triangular-shaped bone in the lower portion of the spine, below the lumbar spine. … The iliac bones are the two large bones that make up the pelvis. As a result, the SI joints connect the spine to the pelvis."
So, is chiropractic technology or quackery? In a world where medical technology is more advanced than at any point in modern history, and at a time when advances in computer tech are producing great gains in convenience and lowered cost of peripheral equipment, certainly a modern office like my new chiropractor's firm is replete with modern technological toys. Massive flat screens connected to a central source of data projected the results of my scans and analyses, which were conducted with handheld sensors and thermal imaging equipment. A sleek, compact X-ray machine stood in one corner of the initial exam room, and the chiropractor himself took the "films" (which were, in fact, immediately projected digitally onto the monitor as he took them). Another screen (and attached computer) was used to analyze what I gather were reference points on my X-rays.
Compare and contrast this to the hour I spent waiting in a my family practice doctor's office the night before – a visit that resulted in a requisition form for an X-ray ("We don't do X-rays after 5 p.m.," they told me) and a prescription for pain-killing patches to be applied to my lower back. Now, my family practice doctor has saved my life a time or two (not to mention helping me through various illnesses associated with cold and flu season, such as bronchitis and walking pneumonia) and, despite the regulatory burdens of Obamacare and the federal government's other meddling, continues to do a superb job for me. But until this chiropractic visit, I'd never received assistance for chronic pain that was so … immediate.
Where, then, does the technology of chiropractic care exist in comparison to more traditional Western medicine? The Journal of the American Medical Association now recommends chiropractic as a first means of treating back pain. "The JAMA`s recommendation," writes John Pertzborn, "comes on the heels of a recent study out of the medical journal Spine [in which] sufferers of lower back pain all received standard medical care (SMC), and half of the participants additionally received chiropractic care. The researchers found that in SMC plus chiropractic care patients, 73 percent reported that their pain was completely gone or much better after treatment compared to just 17 percent of the SMC group."
The benefits of chiropractic are also felt among veterans. Cat Viglienzoni, writing for WCAX, explains that spinal injuries among American veterans are on the rise. "A 2011 study of veterans who sought chiropractic care for neck pain," she goes on, "found 43 percent of them had less pain, and 33 percent reported improved function. [The number] of veterans seeking [chiropractic] care is [also] up. From 2005 to 2013, the number of VA chiropractic clinics has doubled from 24 to 48, and the number of veterans receiving care at those clinics has gone from less than 4,000 to more than 25,000. But in that same time frame, the number of veterans receiving non-VA chiropractic services increased from a thousand to more than 9,000."
Other more speculative benefits of chiropractic care include improvement in blood pressure and even alleviation of some forms of hearing loss as well as enhanced athletic performance. "Chiropractic adjustments help ensure that the body functions as efficiently as possible," asserts Dr. Wayne Fitcher, "which can maximize healing and recovery from all types of injuries. Anyone who engages in athletics can benefit from regular chiropractic checkups to ensure that their spine is balanced and free from structural stress. When the spinal column is brought into balance and alignment, the body's nervous system and body biomechanics (posture) are maximized."
Despite these gains and even against repeated demonstrations of real benefit to those suffering chronic pain (not to mention pain from injury), chiropractic care seems always to be the Rodney Dangerfield of medical professionals, doomed to get "no respect." But medical technology can be and most certainly should be free of politicking and agenda-driven editorializing. What is the application of medical tech, after all, if not the use of the scientific method to measure symptoms, diagnose probable causes, and prescribe effective treatments? This is the very definition of technology's amorality: It is neither good, nor bad – neither quackery nor hard science – unless and until it is applied honestly and objectively, with an eye toward real, reproducible results.
To repeat Dr. Hadley, "That's it."

In one of the more unusual instances of transit vandalism, Toronto police are looking for a young man who hurled a bicycle into the path of an ongoing train at a downtown subway station earlier this month, shutting down service and causing a fire.
Three men, one of them wheeling a bicycle, walked into the Bathurst station May 1 at around 1:15 a.m., police said, The trio headed down to the westbound platform, and shortly before a train pulled in the bicycle was thrown on to the tracks, close to the electrically charged third rail.
A fire ensued, power to the train was cut off and all passengers had to disembark until emergency personnel cleared up the wreckage.
Who the three men are and why the bicycle was destroyed remains a mystery but a good-quality image of them was captured on security video.
All three are white males, believed to be in their 20s.

Trapped in a cave
Sept 12,2018
Yang Young-yu
The author is an editorial writer of the Joongang Ilbo.
President Moon Jae-in, a persuasive orator, was powerful in an opening address at a recent meeting, proclaiming an "inclusive state" agenda. "Not a single person must be discriminated against in a society in which everyone should be better off. A state must be responsible for the lifetime of each citizen," he said.
But is such a utopia possible?
Moon's agenda is not being executed a whim. Moon has long brooded on these ideas. When he ran for president last year, he formed a committee to research the very idea of establishing an inclusive state. Seong Gyeong-ryung, a social science professor from Hallym University, headed the committee. The former policy chief for President Roh Moo-hyun defined an inclusive state as one that pursues growth for all through a closely knit web of employment, economy, welfare, and education policies based on the principles of engagement, innovation and flexibility. Public participation is essential to govern inclusively, he stressed.
An inclusive state is not a proven theory of governance. It is more of a political or emotional slogan. The concept came under the spotlight recently as governments around the world battled with the common challenge of widening inequalities from globalization. The idea was championed in the 2012 book "Why Nations Fail," co-authored by MIT professor Daron Acemoglu and Harvard University professor James Robinson. They claimed that nations thrive when they develop "inclusive" political and economic institutions or fail if those institutions are "extractive" and restrict power and opportunities to a few.
The idea has been embraced by Korea to increase jobs, ease disparities in the labor market, enhance social benefits and enable free education and balanced growth across the nation. So, is everyone buying the idea? To canteen owners and factory workers in an industrial park in Incheon, it is pure political humbug, mere wordplay from people in high places who have no idea what it's like living at the bottom.
The economy is struggling. "Business has been halved," said a restaurant owner. "Last year I used to sell 400 meals a day. This year, 200 is the best I can do."
President Moon Jae-in speaks about an "inclusive state" agenda in a strategic meeting at the Blue House on Sept. 6. [YONHAP]
The president's policy chief, Jang Ha-sung, said he too was startled at the pace of the increase in the minimum wage for this year, 16.4 percent. But he doesn't admit how bad the jump in the minimum wage has been for restaurants and many other areas of the economy. Factories have closed due to the hike in labor cost and the shortened workweek. Income polarization only deepened. The supply chain of major industries like automaking survived, but small workshops or foundries could not. One blue-collar worker in his 50s said four out of 10 employees at his workplace had to quit. He frets he could be next. The paradox is that Moon's income-led growth policy has been cruel to the poor.
Yet the government does not want to change, convinced that virtuous intentions will prevail in the end. But the question is sustainability. Venezuela and Argentina have gone broke. Once one of the richest countries, Venezuela ran out of money after years of generous spending to increase wages and welfare benefits. Argentina's expensive doubling of pension recipients to 8 million pushed the nation into bankruptcy.
They are object lessons on the ramifications of welfare profligacy. The government proposes a record budget of 471 trillion won ($418 billion) for next year, of which 34.5 percent is earmarked for welfare spending. Even as job conditions have worsened to crisis levels despite the government's spending of 54 trillion won, it plans to pour 24 trillion won more to create jobs next year. The spending will translate into 31 trillion won in deficit in the fiscal balance for three years from 2020. Is this how an inclusive state and income-led growth works?
The Blue House and ruling party are trapped in a cave. They see the world through a narrow opening. There is a much bigger world outside. Factory workers, shopkeepers and self-employed are screaming at the experiment in economics.
The public can't understand why the government is so obsessed with certain terms like inclusive growth. They have never really believed in income-led growth. Now they are being ushered toward a so-called "inclusive future." The powers that be may be dreaming of holding onto power for decades. To remove the doubts, they must get out of their cave, engage talents across the board, and pay heed to voices from the real world. That's the kind of inclusiveness Korea needs now.

No labels � just an �American� without any ethnic name or hyphen preceding that word.
To the editor:
No labels � just an �American� without any ethnic name or hyphen preceding that word.
Still, if there are to be such folks, allow the word �American� always to come first, then the hyphen and whatever else one desires to write down.
Ethnic heritage and race are something to be proud of, yet none of us choose either one or our eye color, height, etc. But we do choose to either put �American� first or last in reference to the above and that applies to all colors of skin and ethnic backgrounds � the list is endless.
What�s the point? If one lives in this nation of ours then one is an American � race and ethnic roots not withstanding. Is not our nation called the United States of America? Rhetorical as it is, there are not other names in that quote or hyphens that literally separate two words and figuratively separate Americans yet only in the minds of those who utterly insist on preceding the word �American� with another word and a hyphen.
So, to please all those who insist on the hyphenation, why not just phrase it �American-Indian� or American-Russian. The meaning of the ethnic or skin color word will not in the least become diluted. If one lives in this nation of ours, then one is an �American� first and foremost.
Going beyond that, where are the majority of original Americans living today? They live on hundreds of so-called Indian or �Native-American� reservations.
Notwithstanding the gambling casinos aboard some reservations, most American Indians live well under the so-called poverty line and over 60 percent are young children. If any of us has a legitimate right to claim this nation as theirs, it is the American Indian.
What if, today, a new race or ethnic background of millions of people landed on our shores and eventually decided to put us on reservations?
Unthinkable? Do not for a moment rule out any such scenario.
Thus, as long as our politically correct mainstream liberal media continues to use the word �American� last, preceded by a hyphen, and our do-nothing lawmakers are afraid of speaking the truth, this nation will continue to be hyphenated to an ever-greater degree than today. No foreign power is influencing our nation to do this; it is all coming from within.
Go ahead then and do as you please. It only shows where one�s heart really lies. Words mean things. We always talk today about our nation being last at one thing or another � and who is to blame?
Look within and discern the truth � if you can. We have experienced enough division, but unfortunately this is but the beginning of the end. The end of what? Again, allow each of us to discern for ourselves � rights given us by our Heavenly Father and by our Constitution. Keep the faith.
Rick P. Zuckerman

Add two new problems to the growing list of birth defects linked to antidepressant medications. A new study suggests that women who take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants during pregnancy are more likely to give birth prematurely, or have babies who have seizures shortly after being born. FDA-approved medications from the SSRI class include Paxil, Prozac, Lexapro and Celexa.
Free Antidepressant Birth Defects Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one has a child who was diagnosed with birth defects after being exposed to an antidepressant drug in the womb, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit against the manufacturer of antidepressant and we can help.
What's the problem?
May 30, 2012 – The new study, which was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, identified nearly 229,000 babies born to Tennessee women who took SSRI antidepressants during pregnancy. The research found that mothers who filled two or three prescriptions during their second trimester tended to have babies that stayed in the womb four to five days less than other babies. Additionally, neonates were more likely to have a seizure if their mother used an SSRI during the third trimester.
SSRIs are some of the most widely-prescribed drugs on the planet, and include:
- Paxil
- Zoloft
- Celexa
- Prozac (fluoxetine)
- Lexapro (Escitalopram)
- Symbyax (fluoxetine and olanzapine)
- Wellbutrin (Bupropion)
- Effexor
In light of the many risks posed by the maternal use of antidepressants during pregnancy, a growing movement within the medical community is urging expecting mothers to consider other avenues for the treatment of their depression. "Stopping antidepressants during pregnancy if possible is the safest bet," says Dr. Richard C. Shelton, a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "Basic recommendation is that if a woman can come off antidepressants, that's probably the best course to take," Shelton told Reuters Health.
Which other birth defects have been linked to SSRIs?
In addition to the risk of seizures and premature birth, antidepressants from the SSRI class have been linked to the following birth defects:
- Atrial Septal Defects (ASD)
- Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD)
- Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)
- Tricuspid Valve (Ebstein's Anomaly)
- Mitral Valve Prolapse
- Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)
- Transposition of the Great Vessels (TGV)
- Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
- Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
- Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome (HRHS)
- Tricuspid Atresia
- Aortic Stenosis
- Pulmonary Atresia (PA)
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
- Coarctation of the Aorta
- Truncus Arteriosus
- Tricuspid Valve Stenosis

The library comes from humble beginnings, but has continued to grow and become a staple in the communities it serves. The library opened in September of 1988 as a branch of the Vassar Public Library. When a tax vote to fund the library failed, Vassar's library board discontinued its support and closed the branch in June of 1990. The library reopened November 1st, 1990 as Unity District Library with the combined backing of the Village of Reese, Denmark Township and the determined efforts of the Friends of Unity District Library.
The library was originally open fourteen hours weekly, and was located in rental space in the former "Massoll Building" at the corner of Reese Road and Saginaw Street. However the library continued to grow with the interest and efforts of many. In 2002, Harry and Delphine Bader, part-owners of the Bader Bros. Inc. farm-implement dealership in Reese, donated Independent Bank Corp. stock to the library "so the library could buy a building of its own" stated Harry Bader of Reese.
The library moved from its old location to the larger location at 2065 Gates St. In the past, the building housed a coin-operated laundry and a hairstyling salon. "I knew the library could use this building to have a place they could call their own," said Bader. In 2004, the renovation of the new building was complete.
After moving into the building, and with much progress in providing services, it became apparent that the library's service area did not coincide with its legal boundaries.Research was done, and it was decided that a public school district could be a partner in a District Library Agreement.
Consequently, the original Unity District Library Agreement was dissolved. The very same day, by virtue of votes by the Denmark Board of Trustees, Reese Village Council and the Reese Public Schools Board, Reese Unity District Library was established. The new library's legal boundaries incorporated all of Denmark Township, the Village of Reese, and those portions of the Reese School District not already included in another public library's service area. These areas incorporated into RUDL were Reese Public School's portions of Buena Vista, Blumfield, and Gilford Townships.
In 2012 an addition of a community room was completed.
