Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Many of you who have written to this blog over the past few months are dealing with the cancer stigma, the negative aspects of a cancer diagnosis. Some words that you have used are "isolated," "lonely," "shunned," "weary" and "abandoned."
Some of you have mentioned losing the support of family, friends and co-workers during the experience. It seems that we are at a critical point in time between the days when the word "cancer" was not used in everyday conversation, to a future day when the word is followed by support, love and care. I have hope that with additional education, science and technology; the cancer stigma will be no more.
Some ideas that might help you as you talk with others and deal with the aspects of a diagnosis of cancer.
Today, there are so many ways to communicate news and progress between family and friends. Social media tools such as Caring Bridge, blogs (such as this one), and online support groups are also helpful. Please feel free to share your thoughts on how to positively deal with the stigma of cancer.

Update to my August 5, 2014 post: Still no regrets. Every time I am tempted to tell someone, I pull myself up, rein it in, forget about it. No matter what the pink people say and do, there IS a stigma and once the cat is out of the bag it will not be put back in.
It is probably not for everyone, but I have no regrets yet for having informed very few people about my breast cancer. It was stage 1A, so it was easy to pass things off as just surgery and recovery. My husband and some old friends who live on the other side of the continent know. That's it, except for medical people. Yes, sometimes it gets lonely and feels isolating, but almost certainly not as much so as if I had told everyone in sight and had to put up with their shocking reactions as described here and elsewhere. Very glad I kept my mouth shut, and every day I reinforce that decision by continuing to keep it shut. Period. End of story.
I was diagnosed with grade 2 meningioma in January 2009, had a cranioctomy in Feb 2009, which left me with no mobility to my left arm and leg. I have since started walking again but with a terrible limp (or drag would be a better word). I know my limitations may be worth a stare or three but I've had to come to terms with the fact that I get more attention than I want or am comfortable with. My counterattack= "PUT ON A HAPPY FACE!" A new top with matching head scarf, some mascara and lip gloss and I can handle the stares. Bring it on!
Debby, I felt compelled to write you. My husband was diagnosed in June with stage 4 colon cancer. We are anxiously waited to see results of scan next week. First and foremost, we are Saved. Second we must fight. Saturday my husband will be 53 and we plan many more! You will be in my prayers Debby!
debby it sounds like your husban has the same kind of canncer that i have. I just turned 71 and last year found i have stadge 4 cancer. collen to the liver.
first i had a resection of the collen takeing out the primery tumer. then ten shots of chemo. they left the liver tumer in to see if the chemo would schrink the tumer which it did. then i went to jackson memorial in miami and a great sergen Dr levi went in and took out half my liver. it was in a bad place and i had to find the head of the sergical dept. which Dr LEVI is. he teaches at miami u and after sergery i wake up serounded by his 4th year med students.
its almost a year i still have the port but i feel fine. I gained back the weight i lost from the chemo. my sister found some pot for my nas. it worked better then the pills they gave me.i visit my oncol every three weeks for blood work. i dont think at my age i would go through the treatment again.
life is short and i do today everything i like.
thank God obama care has not started yet. go republican and repeal his med bill
Bruce, I was a therapist at one point. I started a support group one time by placing an announcement in the local paper. First find a place like a community center, church, or cancer org. that will let you use their facility. I also lead several groups while working on a psyche unit. Each group is different because of the individuals in the group. Some flow better than others. If leading the group first ask what the members want to discuss. Try to have a topic each meeting. A meeting every 3-4 weeks is probably best. Encourage people to express themselves only if comfortable in doing so. Even though difficult topics were discussed I always tried to bring out some positives and point out positive things that people were doing. (You don't need to be a therapist to do this). Pointing out positives can help others improve coping skills. Try not to let people be negative all of the time. Asking people to rotate bringing a treat might help break the ice so to speak. I always tried to emphasize that the group was the member's, not mine. Good luck with your endeavor! There is research that states that people who have participated in support groups fare better with their cancer. I do believe that support from other's really helps at a difficult time in one's life.
I am wondering if Deb found information with her husband's colon cancer. I am a colorectal cancer survivor and although every situation is unique in its own way there are similarities under the BIG C heading. I don't have a support group anywhere near where I live so I would consider even starting a group. I'd like to talk to someone who has taken a group from ground zero so as to have an idea what to expect.
Howdy - For all of you bloggers, here is what I live by each and everyday....ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING and
"We are each a gift from god, what we give back to god is our gift to him"......FAITH*HOPE*LOVE
Surround yourselves with POSITIVE things, people and tasks, remember, anything that depletes you of strength and energy, is less than you are giving to yourself and a healthy body mind and spirit will prevail with good.
So many wonderful people out there and I commend you all for your stories and support and inspiration you choose to share with one's that read or comment on this site. As Phil says, talk, talk, talk....yes we all need to be heard in one form or another and some people just choose NOT to even listen or really "care" as to your feelings, because they just don't care ( or are dumbfounded as to how and what to say and would rather push you away)...but it's the one's that do care that can offer support, stories, humor and an over abundance of love and laughter to help us all thru our "bumps" in the road.
Erma Bombeck, Chicken Soup for the Soul and anything funny will immediately pick your spirits up....and laughter truly is the best medicine! :-)
We each only have one life, earthly, there are no rewinds, no playbacks and no re-do's...but we learn from what we have done to improve our now and future lives!
Stay Happy...
Dorothy, I as well have had on going surgeries with post reconstruction and like you am close in age. Diagnosed in 2006 and now 4 years later I'm still not finished. A major problem with first hospital and thier plastic surgeons, my advice, look around, educate yourself with what is available, on-line, references and pictures, doctor's background and PUSH them to show you the results. Each individual is different and if you have a doctor that is truly interested in YOU as a patient and person to get you back on your feet and on with your life, that's the person, also look at the facility, location, care and concern as well as impecible surroundings tells you you will be well cared for. You will not just be a number to them.
I am researching now, after a dbl mastmy, major radiation and chemo, expanders, I'm on my second set of implants, a tram flap that failed, an infection from the last hospital, and now needing a replacement for my right breast (where infection was and spread to my breastbone area, as well as tram site), and to think I was told a simple breast implant surgery could be done initially, and was, but not correctly, hence why the plastic surgeon was let go from that hospital. My last option because I have now ran out of areas to take blood supply from, is my dortisimuss area, below right shoulder blade.
All of the above could have been prevented however I was undergoing a divorce at the time, running my own business & complete turmoil then.
I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. And had surgery at Mayo in Rochester. My advise to others is to go right away to a good Doctor because an early
exam is very important. Do not wait..
If you are suffering from cancer, or recovering from the effects of treatment, it can be very helpful to join a support group. But what if you can't find a suitable group? Start one yourself! That's even more effective. The hospital treating you, or where you were treated, can probably arrange to put other patients in touch with you, and there is your group! One of the best breast cancer support groups in the south of France was started by a friend of mine who was finding it difficult to recover, mentally and physically, from a radical mastectomy, and I made the suggestion through her daughter: "Start your own support group". Within about a month it was started, and she was well on the way to improvement. I helped by constructing and hosting a website for her; have a look at www.ensemble-c-tout.org. Incidentally, the "c" actually represents "the big C" - Cancer.
I just read the last few posts. I think having a strong faith and trusting in God is what helps the most. All through this I have known that God is with me. I try to find quiet places to meditate such as by a lake or garden. How can one not believe when one looks at nature. I feel that I am still supposed to be here for some reason. I may never find out specifically why but know it is in the plan. I hope for peace for all of you in your challenges. The lesson I have been learning over the last year and a half is to truly appreciate the people in my life and gifts that I have been given. I believe we are all here to help each other out in some way.
My husband has had cancer surgery 6 times. In 2004 he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer .In getting ready to have the surgery they found caranoid cancer of the lower lobe and renal cancer. The problem was what to operate on first. They finally decided to do the kidney and prostrate first. This was a 9 hour surgery. After six weeks he had his lower lobe removed. In 2007 they found bladder cancer and removed it. A year later another one and today he has to have surgery again for another bladder tumor. This man has had 4 primary cancer and never complains. He has a postive attitude and has handed this over to God. I being his care taker find it a honor to be his nurse and helper. I try to educate myself as much and possible. We both strive to be kind to all especially our Medical Doctors. We are retired military and use the base hospitals in San Antonio and have nothing but good to say about the treatments we have received. My best friend is going thru Lung cancer and has small cell. She has good and bad days. She rides her horses and has fun with her grandchildren. Like somone said all of us our ternimal. Make the best of this life with kindness and thankful hearts so when you leave this mere time here on earth you will go to a better place.
Hopeful, I don't know what my husband would do if he was dealing with your treatment. I had stage 0 non-invasive cancer, and I didn't have to have any kind of treatment after my double mastectomy. Its the reconstruction that is giving me all the problems. Infections and taking the extenders in and out. Its been seven months and I'm still sitting at the begining. Maybe surgery again in two months.
Maybe someday my husband will face all of this and we can get on with our lives.
Hopefull I will be praying for you, I know God has really been there for me and without him I would not be able to handle this mess with my husband. I carry a card with me all the time, even in surgery that is Isaiah 41:10. Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. God bless you
I am a 49 year old that was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent bilateral mastectomies, one prophylactically, chemo and radiation with treatment completed approximately a year ago. I am about to start the journey of reconstruction, and have been told despite the radiation that I am a good candidate for implants. I have read previous writers comment's, with people having ongoing problems post reconstuctive surgery, what are they and do you have any recommendations?
Also, at the time of diagnosis I was not in a relationship. I read of the difficulties that spouses have with a partner undergoing treatment, is there anyone that can comment on "getting involved" after breast cancer, recommendations and approaching the topic.
we just found out my husband has stage 4 colon cancer. It has spread to his liver and limphnods. The only one good thing that come out of this is we were both saved Tuesday. and that makes it a little more bearable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle it from now on? He had the port put in today and Chemo starts Tuesday. Someone help please.
Such openness from so many special people. The sharing is appreciated. I see strength in all of you. I noticed Linda's comment about her husband. Has anyone else had issues with their spouse? My husband has been depressed. He lost 30 lbs., close to what I lost with my cancer treatment. He often goes off by himself and reads a book at a time when I would like to share more time with him. I know it is his way to deal with my poor prognosis and stress of all of this. Sometimes people pull back because they are having a difficult time with their own emotions. We open up at times which helps. Here lately, he's been doing a bit better. He refuses to take an anti-depressant that was prescribed for him. I am trying to live for each day. If I think of how it would be in his shoes I can understand his grief. I always say that ultimately it is all up to God. After extensive chemo my PET scans for lymphoma only showed continued progression. A planned stem cell transplant was cancelled due to my poor response. I then had radiation which has helped me alot but the cancer is still present. I was told the rad. likely won't take care of it totally. I read the comment about employment. I have not worked in over one year. I worked for the govt. which is a good employer. In my job I was exposed to other employer situations where people were "let go" of their jobs because of their cancer even though it was not stated why to the person (concerns of insurance issues
Thank you TLC, I went to my plastic surgeon this morning and he told me the same thing. I need to make a appointment with my Dr and ask her all the questions I have. There is just so much. I have had so many problems with my reconstruction that I just hadn't thought about going to my Dr. But hopefully it will all be over in the next few months.
Work didn't come up in too many of the comments already made so I will add some thoughts there. I was daignosed with IDC breast cancer last year, and took some days off here and there through surgery, radiation and chemo. I was able to work at home during chemo and by all accounts of the medical staff I sailed through chemo and made a quick recovery to strength (not to normal but to strength). When I showed up back in the office with my new size 2 business suit and wig, that's when the discrimination began. I was constantly being asked if I was OK, and within three weeks I was forced onto a FMLA leave to "go finish getting better" because I was "distracting to the rest of the staff" and now they have fired me. My performance never faltered during my illness. I very much feel that cancer didn't change me, it changed them. Nice philosophy but I am frustrated and angry at their attitude and want to suggest that the bosses divorce and financial issues are far more distrscting than my cancer! Thanks for letting me vent.
My husband got diagnosis of Breast Cancer in April of this year at Stage 1 , they seemed to have gotton it
all , but having a hard time dealing with it.....they say it's rare that men get breast cancer and he would really like to talk to some other guy that may be going through the same thing, so if there's anyone out there that can help him please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it !!!! He is going through 6 chemo treatments........... Thank You so much
I think the thing that helped me the most was to live in the moment but also keep working on the things I had started when diagnosed. I had dreamed of going back to school for close to 10 years and the fall I started back I was diagnosed. Some family and friends tried to tell me to quit but I just knew that if I gave my dreams up then the cancer won so I kept going even though it was really hard.
Though there have been times when I don't think that anyone who has not been on this journey could understand how I feel, I try to embrace my emotions, feel them, cry or get mad or whatever seems right, and then remember to think of all I have to be thankful for. I also have been seeing a counselor who is my safe person that I can tell it all to. It has helped. I also have been absolutely consistent with my different kinds of exercise; physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Linda- you need to set an appointment with your doctor and ask for a written plan for the next 5 years so you know what to expect. You deserve and have the right to know this.
I finished my radiation treatment in April and went back in July for my next shot and blood work. My PSA score was 0.12 much better then 147.2. My body has accepted the hormone shot and I`m in remission. I`m just dealing with the fatigue and hot flashing. As long as I wake up that`s a GREAT day. I go back in November for my next set of testing and blood work. Wish me luck. I do talk about my condition to family, co-workers and friends.I feel that this gives me confidence that people do care and support you. I`m 45 and had a rating of 10, the doctors said this was very aggressive and they could not do surgery.I`m working full time and keep on trying to keep that positive attitude at all times, its hard at times. You think about your wife and kids and life in general. Talk, talk, talk, that is the best thing to do. I hope everybody the best here and I`ll PRAY for you all..Phil
I had dcis non invasive cancer with double mastectomy in Feb. I have two problems, 1st my husband has changed so much, he was once a very affectionate person and since my surgery does not come close. He says its because he is affraid he will hurt me, but I have been healed for months. We are living a totally different life.
2nd, I feel kind of lost, my Dr's have not explained to me if there is anything or test each year to keep on top of all of this. Not sure what to do.
Nancy - Thanks for the title of this book. It sounds to be helpful and just what I need right now.
Do other folks feel as me that, having cancer, you seem to be a little bolder with voicing your opinion at times?
Having cancer certainly gives new meaning to 'future' and truly enjoying each day. What surprised me most is a few of my dearest friends no longer talk with me like we did "BC" (before cancer). I take the lead with many folks, including my friends, keeping conversation light and retain my sense of humor and sense of optimism.
I also tire of always seeming to talk about my cancer - since we live with it 24/7 - so it helps to talk to people about what's going on with them; that helps them cope with you as well.
Having cancer forces you into a new normal, and, frankly, I like the person I have become. But I don't embrace the outcome. Find an inner peace.
I have lived through non hodgins lymphoma and was cdeclared cancer free.
Shortly after that declaration I had an annual physical including PSA. the long and short of that was I am now diagnosed with Prostate cancer for which I am now receiving treatment.
My first reaction after finding out I had another cancer when one was declared gone was an incredible anger because I was so looking foreward the the cure after five years.
I had to share that anger and somehow befriend this new one. Being open and sharing good knowledge with others is so helpful. I had to learn that I am in control of my own life and get on with that life. Life is good. When stuff happens somehow we have to plow through it in a daily positive outlook about life, a life which is in my control.
So now I am at peace with this cancer business and I keep it in its place and deal with it when I have to. Otherwise life goes on as usual. Good knowledge and trust in the team that looks after you is so important. Life is too precious to let cancer take over.
there are so many myths and stories going around about cancer. Good information is healing for all.
You have to just go on living. After all, Everyone is terminal. None of us know when we'll die. My latest stress is the surgeon telling me that the cancer in my neck is dead, but I CAN STILL SEE IT AND FEEL IT! He left it a bit up in the air, and now we're playing a waiting game, so I'm sort of in between doctors and don't know what's going on right now. I need a new prescription for my happy pills, but as I'm not really seeing a specific doc right now, Who do I ask? Not a big deal, just another grain of sand on the camel's back. My heart goes out to you, Hopeful, I wish you peace of mind.
I agree that those around you take their cue from how you accept and deal with your diagnosis. A book that was a great help to me when I was first diagnosed 3 years ago is titled Help Me Live: 20 things people with cancer want you to know by Lori Hope. The author is a cancer survivor herself. Nancy
Living with the stigma of a cancer diagnosis can be a challenge until you learn to accept the diagnosis yourself. Does this make sense? People will often bombard you at first. Some others stay away not knowing what to say or out of their own fears. I found that by being open about my disease it has allowed others to feel more comfortable and to treat me more normally. I also found that by asking people about their lives (positive and negative) it has helped to allow a more normal discourse. Joking also helps others know you are not depressed all of the time. Certain friends are better than others to tell the hard parts to. I have been open with my nieces and nephews about what I am experiencing without being overly specific. I also told them what I am thankful for. I think that when they saw me go out in their kayak (even though I could not paddle far) I set a good example. Try to live as normally as possible so you are not just thought of as a "cancer" patient. I found that wearing a wig also helped. Most of all letting others into your life at a difficult time helps most of all. It helps all of us get past the stigmas. (P.S. This advice is coming from someone who has been told they are terminal. However, I am in somehwat of a remission currently. I tell people I am terminal. It allows them to share with me time and precious moments. The stigma goes away if we learn to accept where we are at in life).

JDC Sends 15 Tons of Aid to Help Victims of Serbia, Bosnia Floods
In response to the devastating floods in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), together with the Federation of Jewish Communities in Romania (Fedrom), dispatched 5 aid convoys carrying 15 tons of aid for victims of the devastating floods in Serbia and Bosnia last week. Packed and prepared by the Jewish communities of Bucharest and Timisoara, the convoys carried supplies — including food, personal hygiene products, water, milk, powdered milk, diapers, liquid soap, bedding and replacement furniture — for flood victims in Belgrade, Doboj, and Banja Luka. Additionally, JDC worked with its local partners as part of its Women's Health Empowerment Program (WHEP) in Bosnia to reach Roma victims in remote locations.

Why Not
I am a husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. I believe in sharing my talents and experiences by giving back to the community by giving my time to coaching, church and especially to the disability community. I truly believe that all men and women are created equally.
CMS Issues Rule Supporting HHS Community Living Initiative
After months of hard work by many advocates across the country, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid released their final rule in regards to their support of the Department of Health and Human Services Community Living Initiative to strengthen community living options for older Americans and persons with disabilities.
As I have written before, the focus of this rule is to make community living and employment options the first choice, not a distant second or even last in many cases. This is exciting news for me, my son, and the rest of my family as well as the many advocates that I have worked with on this subject. This is not something that is accomplished by one or two groups of advocates but by hundreds, if not thousands across the country. We have the support of Rep. Gwen Moore on this topic. I'm sure there are other Legislators who also shared their support.
The Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities has a press release on the news.
When I received the news late last week, there is that rush of knowing that a father and son made a difference. No matter how large or how small of an impact we had, we still had input in the final decision. We didn't sit back and hope that the thr ruling would be on the side we supported. We made our voice heard. Advocates across the country should be proud of themselves.
The next time that there is an issue that has an impact on your life, don't just sit back and hope it goes your way. Get out there and talk with the people who have the ability to create that change you want to see. You won't regret it.

Oakley Fuel Cell Sunglasses
Oakley has been toying with a mix of art and technology for some time. The idea was to create a clean, authentic style for those who don't just walk the path of life - they stomp it and leave footprints. That's what led to the Oakley Fuel Cell Sunglasses.

Like a glove
"If you've owned Gucci's, your expectations will be certainly met with these horse bits. If not, be prepared to put on one of the best luxury loafers out there. At your local boutique, these are $400 and DSW has them for a deal, especially when you mix in a few certificates and online coupons for extra $ off. As always, Gucci's run large. I wear a full size to a size and a half smaller. I ordered these in brown, the color is more of a chestnut. Not a huge difference from the photo, but slightly."

|In response to Re: Responsibility for stuck auger
: I recently had a plumber come out and auger my sewer line for preventive maintenance. I had not been experiencing any problems, but have had problems with roots in the past, so I try to get it done once every year or two. The plumber got his auger stuck and has charged me over $1300 to dig up the sewer line, remove his auger and replace a piece of the line. The sewer line was orangeburg pipe and the plumber has told me that it was colapsed and he has no liability. Other plumbers have told me that he probably blew a hole in the line with his auger and should be responsible for everything above and beyond his normal charge. There was no existing clog and I never signed anything. This was the third time in 5 years I've used the same plumber and he never warned me that there could be a problem with the old pipes. Any comments?
In my jurisdiction these issues may come before our plumbing board. Call your Chief Plumbing Inspector and tell him your situation. LonnythePlumber

The Emery High carpentry class recently completed their 2013 house. For the past several year students have been building houses on property owned by the school district.
Jim Keele is the instructor for the class, "This year's house was the largest undertaking since the inception of the EHS Carpentry program back in 1997. Not only was it the largest house; (3800 sq. ft. -1900 for the completed first level and 1900 for the unfinished basement) it was also built by the fewest students with seven in the day class and six in the after-school program. To pull this off, it took a lot of dedicated determination from all of the students. They had to learn quickly and work hard. I personally wish to thank each of my students for their respect and hard work. Everyone should be very proud of their accomplishments."
"We made many new improvements and upgrades to the home in hopes that the future owners would get to enjoy them. This included extra insulation, high efficiency appliances, high quality fixtures, high quality cabinets, and stamped concrete."
"Much coordination and effort goes into the success of this program. I would like to thank the following people and organizations: Emery County School District, Emery County School Board Members, Emery County Planning and Zoning department, Emery County School Maintenance, Magnuson Lumber, Lofthouse Electric, Steve's Plumbing, Dugmore Appliance and Heating, J M Countertops, Affordable Flooring, Arrowhead Construction, Homestyle Siding, Mark and Sons Excavating, Lewis Stilson, USU Eastern, Sunrise Engineering, S & V Glass, and Ty's Cabinets"
"Each year I hire a past student to help teach the Carpentry Class. This has to be someone that has exceptional work ethics and respect for the program. This year I had the pleasure of working with Seth Stevens," said Keele.
Day Class included: Stetson Bennett, Chase Fausett, Dakota Curtis, Trevor Graham, Erica Flores, KaRanda Krompel, Jaden Gordon, Tallon Morrey, after school class; Brandon Randall, George Sorensen, Micah Turner, Charles Stone and Jason Wilcox.

Entertainment & The Arts
Arts play vital, growing role in community life
The arts, long an important component of local life, have become in recent years a significant factor in downtown renewal, both in bricks-and-mortar terms and in drawing all sorts of people downtown.
Consider the transformation of Keene's Colonial Theatre from moribund eyesore to a vibrant performance venue in the heart of downtown.
Restored through the efforts of a group of community activists who enlisted the eager participation of numerous volunteers, the Colonial now brings to the Monadnock Region a wide variety of popular performers along with touring musicals and dance companies.
It also plays host to community groups and continues to show movies. In 1998, about 50,000 people came to the theater. The next season, the theater staged 62 live presentations and films drew roughly 60,000 people. Things have continued upward from there.
With that kind of drawing power, the Colonial has become a key part of planning for a downtown revival. Arts people have always argued that the arts are good for business, and business people have finally caught on. A popular show at the Colonial fills seats in nearby restaurants, increases traffic at area stores, and ripples out to places like gas stations.
The arts are playing a key role in the revival of downtown Peterborough as well. The renovated Peterborough Town House once again hosts concerts, contra dances and community events. The Sharon Arts Center has moved both its gallery and crafts shop to handsome spaces in Depot Square. Sharon and several other new galleries make downtown Peterborough a destination for art lovers.
If downtown needs the visual and performing arts, the arts continually need new audiences. Although the Monadnock Children's Museum and the Children's Performing Arts Center bit the dust in the '90s, area arts organizations and schools are finding ways to introduce children, the audience of the future, to the arts.
For years, the Grand Monadnock Arts Council's ArtWalk turns downtown Keene into an art gallery each May. When the arts council ran out of gas, Center State Cheshire County stepped in, and has revived ArtWalk this month.
Busloads of schoolchildren tour the streets to look and learn.
The N.H. Dance Institute enlists 250 area children to participate in its annual performance, with the hope that many of them will remain interested in the arts.
The Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery at Keene State College also runs a program that brings area children into the gallery. For years, the gallery was part of the college library, but it finally got its own home in November 1993, a $1.8 building on the campus.
The larger gallery spaces, improved climate control and security have enabled the Thorne to mount more ambitious exhibits, including large works by Jules Olitski and Fritz Scholder and the eclectic Gund collection. The attractive space has also drawn an increasing number of submissions to the Thorne's regional juried shows.
One of the biggest events in recent years, the filming of "Jumanji" in downtown Keene and in Swanzey, provided a certain thrill, but did not make Keene or the Monadnock Region a location of choice for other film makers, as some had hoped. Still, Central Square will always be the backdrop for the spectacular elephant stampede featured in the film and in its advertising.
In the 1980s, the videocassette explosion changed movie-going and TV viewing habits. Today's newer technology, and the unimagined growth of the Internet, have even wider implications. The Internet promises to transform almost everything, including the arts, in this new millennium. Don't expect all the hype to come true, but the Net is already making its mark.
Artists and artisans are selling their wares on the Web to a hugely increased market. Arts organizations are using Web sites to inform and entice the public. It's simple to discover what's happening in your hometown or in a far-off city. For a recent eight-play theater marathon in London, my husband and I found all the information on the net — what was on stage, reviews of same, ticket prices and ways to order. The net holds unparalleled potential as an information and marketing tool.
Two examples of the Net's impact: Area teenagers learned about a Strangefolk concert at the Colonial Theatre in Keene through a posting on the group's Web page and spread the word. The concert sold out with minimal traditional advertising.
The Words and Pictures Museum, a museum of comic book art in Northampton, Mass., closed its doors in 1999, but reopened open on the Internet as a virtual museum. The decision, no doubt, represents a major financial savings, but at least part of the rationale rings true. Museum founder Kevin Eastman said, "By creating an entirely Virtual Museum ... we can reach millions of interested fans globally, fans that could never make the trip to Northampton." .
Computer reproductions are a barely adequate substitute for real artwork, but putting art on the Web does extend its reach to millions of people, some of whom may be inspired to search out the original.
Critics like to predict that the arts are dying and the Philistines are taking over. Not me. The arts survive in the Monadnock Region and elsewhere because people need them. Taxpayers often denounce art as a "frill" at school district meetings, but in Sentinel reader polls huge numbers of readers confess that, given a choice, they'd like to be a singer or an artist.
Mozart's a safe bet to endure well into the next millennium. People will still line up to get into the Louvre or to see "Star Wars" remakes. How the arts will be presented, what wonderful new technologies will emerge, is an open question. That the arts will be presented is a foregone conclusion.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Erika711 The material of this dress is too thin and a poor quality. However, a very cute style and would buy if material was a better quality. I really like the style of the dress, but I agree that the material is horrible. It's extremely thin and would easily show any imperfection underneath. I think I would of preferred it a full maxi dress as well. November 21, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Doe25 This product is cheap The style of the dress is very cute, but the quality of the dress is cheap. The mkaterial is thin and poorly made. I would pay no more than $40 for this dress. I returned mine immediately after trying it on. It's not worth the money they are asking for. I buy from Bebe all the time, but after I saw how cheaply made this dress was, I think I'm going to take a break from this website. November 8, 2012

How do I need to consider my force with the pain cage in mind?
What mix should I use besides my usual "Load up on flying spellcasters, broken fodder, Isiri warriors and some monsters and go out there and beat'em up" tactic?
I probably won't get to play these guys until next month, so any input is appreciated.

-Any Elite of your Choice
-4 Broken Fodder
-2 Demon Warriors
This makes for a brutal melee troop. I've been taking the clawed demon as the elite, but anything would work.(A pain mage could even make the troop more deadly) I use the Demon Warriors to assist the elite on strong targets, or use them to break down the front line. I let the fodder hang back until the second round of combat that way I should have some pain tokens so they can stay on their feet. The demon warriors hardly degrade as their damaged so once their in combat they are like a wall and with a little fodder support it's a wall of death.
-4-7 Incubus Warriors
-3-4 Demon Imps
I love this flyer troop. Typical strategy is to gang up on whatever you charge. 2 IW on each target, that way if you hit the model twice it's stats really start to go down before your other normal attacks. The imps are here to give the IWs a bonus for their combats. Getting the charge here is important, but unless your opponent has a flyer troop or a meety flying solo it's pretty much a done deal.
I also take a mage on of the ground troops and try to get of Dibilitating Pain, Fireball, Scare, any kind of AoE so that it weakens one or two models... Sitting the flyers up for finishing off the entire troop.
-Witch Queen
-Pain Mage
Put enough warriors in the troop so you have one to put in front of each archer and mage. So if you have 2 archers, buy up 4 warriors. This troop will be your glass cannon. Your warriors are the speed bumps. Always put your warriors in front of the mages/archers, when you activate, move the warriors out and away(1 movement) blast spells then shoot arrows, then move the warriors back in front of the others.
Load up with spells of your choice, I am a big fan of the new Ice Storm, nothing like a solid 4 points of damage from the Queen. Take Counterspell with both mages to create a spell free zone that covers 1/4 the board. Also take bolt, for those spells that you don't really care if the enemy gets off anyway, like if he wants to ice shard a Broken fodder that you can use tokens to keep alive. Let him take the blow and you take the opportunity to toss a bolt at the mage.
So you know, this is my favorite troop. With Magic, Archery, and some melee combined on one card you can rip enemies apart well before they get the chance to heal or retreat.
Taking the Spectral Minion Spell and giving it to the Witch Queen instead of bringing warriors was also recommended.

I'm a total noob at Warlord (just got figs in the past two weeks), but have a decent amount of experience in other table-top games. I'm guess I'm too used to playing Bretonnians in Warhammer, but I've been trying the Darkspawn against my friend with the Crusaders, and I just got destroyed. I mean, it was awful. I took down two models in our 1000 pt game. Some was awful rolling, but that only goes so far. I like the Darkspawn because they seem to be a decent varied force and the sculpts are great.
Here's what I got in terms of figs:
Witch Queen
4 Incubi Warriors
9 Paintenders
3 Isiri Archers
5 Broken Fodder
I guess the two things I could use help on are a) general strategy and b) what kind of force should I build with this and are there more figs that are "needed" to be effective. I've noticed my two issues against the Crusaders are a) their high DV makes it hard to damage them enough to where my foot soldiers can be effective and b) in melee, they're almost auto-killing my troops with their elite units.
I'm probably not using the Pain Cage well and I've only recently started trying to swarm with paintenders and the fodder. I readily admit I'm not that knowledgable and any help that can be given would be great.

A few more Soultenders, now that they're Adepts, can really wreak some havoc.
Rolling bad is NOT a counter-strategy for rolling good!

Get more archers, and load the Queen up with spells. Concentrate fire on models you can kill quickly (3 trackers, frex) and gather up some Pain Tokens before melee begins. Both Fodder and Warriors are cheap to bring back, so use the Cage on them.
A few more Soultenders, now that they're Adepts, can really wreak some havoc.
One of my general strategies in the past in miniatures was to try to hit the stronger units first, at least damage them a bit. With Darkspawn, should I focus more on removing the foot soldiers, getting the tokens for the pain cage, then go for a war of attrition with the stronger opposing units?
Thanks for the advice so far; the Soultenders definitely appear to be viable as a unit.

Posted 03 May 2007 - 12:05 PM
Once in melee range, use the Broken Fodder and Darkspawn Warriors to tie up your opponent's bigger models. You're going to lose some, but they will have chances to hit, and with Pain Cage, you can bring those back. Often to the total frustration of your opponent In one playtest session, I probably killed the same 4 Models, at least 3-5 times. Because I would wipe them out, but they would Pain Cage back to their last track and keep me tied up. Then elsewhere on the board, I'd have a 4 track model die (which will revive 2 Broken Fodder). So I could kill them without rolling, but they wouldn't go away. It became a challenge to try and kill enough stuff quickly, and try to force Storm to burn through his Tokens without losing some of my other Models elsewhere.
Soultenders and your other Demons make great shredders once you have models tied up with your grunts.

I personally think you picked the strongest army with the best faction ablility. I have played them with Dwarfs and Reven and they are just demoralizing. You may lose the first couple rounds of combat, except for the archer/magic stuff but Darkspawn gets stronger as the game goes on because of the pain cage and with fodder being twenty points they never die.

Dear Mr. Dad: I have postpartum depression pretty bad, and I feel like my husband thinks I'm faking it. How can I help him understand that I seriously need his help?
A: Brava to you—most women who have post partum depression don't get the help they need, often because they're embarrassed to ask for it. Fortunately for you, your husband, and your baby, you're not most women. So start by showing your husband this column—hopefully he'll get the hint.
Almost all new moms go through the "baby blues"—mild sadness, mood swings, anxiety, weepiness, loss of sleep and/or appetite, and inability to make decisions. Most of the time, the symptoms go away on their own within a few weeks or a month.
Ten to 20 percent of moms develop actual "postpartum depression." The symptoms are similar, but more serious: major appetite changes, an inability to take pleasure in the baby or life in general, unexplained episodes of crying, extreme feelings of anxiety or fear, decreased sex drive, difficulty sleeping, and feelings of guilt or shame.
At the very least, your husband should be helping you eat right and exercise. He also needs to be taking on more of the baby-related work and making sure you get enough sleep.
Untreated, symptoms of postpartum depression can last for years. Research shows that babies of depressed mothers reach certain developmental milestones later than other babies. And they're more likely to become depressed themselves. The more he helps you, the more he's helping your baby—and the more he's helping himself by getting some much-needed practice.
Dear Mr. Dad: When my father was around, it wasn't exactly a good thing. The only things he taught me were what not to be like. How do I be a good dad? How do I teach my children something I don't know? I want to be a great dad, but I have a terrible feeling of doom. Please Help.
A: Like it or not, your relationship with your dad when you were a kid is going to have some influence on your relationship with your own children. But that's not necessarily bad news. A lot of dads who had rocky or non-existent relationships with their father worry, as you do, that they're destined to follow the same path. Some dads, perhaps trying to protect their children, end up withdrawing physically and emotionally. A bad situation for everyone.
People who had good relationships with their dads generally don't worry as much about these things. Just having had a good role model gives them a feeling of confidence that they can take the best parts and leave out the rest. You can do the same. Yes, your past relationships will influence your present ones, but you have a huge amount of choice in the matter. Most guys whose dads were less than they should have been are able to absorb whatever good stuff (if any) they got from the old man and dump the bad.
There's plenty of research to back me up on this: men whose fathers were distant or un-nurturing often end up providing particularly high levels of care for their children's social, emotional, academic, and intellectual development. And men whose dads supervised them inconsistently or inadequately, as well as men whose dads threatened, spanked (a lot), or frightened them as boys often turn things around and spend a lot of time working on their children's physical and athletic development in childhood.

Love the green detail
"These shoes are very cute. I've gotten compliments every time I've worn them. The hunter green patent detail on the shoe is my favorite part. They kind of remind me of flamenco shoes. I had to stretch the toe box a bit before I could wear them all day since even with the rounded toe, it rubbed the outside of my foot."

Becks in Africa, Posh in Paris
January 23, 2008 00:00:00 Posted at January 23, 2008 00:00:00
While her husband David Beckham gives back in Africa on a UN Children's mission, playing with kids in Sierra Leone and doing something less frivolous for a change, his wife Victoria is exactly where she should be: front row at a fashion show in Paris. Orange and puckered and posed, here's Posh with Dita von Teese and Claudia Schiffer at Roland Mouret, the designer of her famous Moon Dress.
As you can see, Posh is toting a purple Birkin, one of a reported dozen in her closet. Bitch.
Why do I find it hilarious that Claudia is towering over her and Dita? Why do they look like three little girls playing dress up?

Postgame: Better, But Another Loss
Pat Steinberg
November 13 2010 11:32PM
There was plenty to like about Calgary's game on Saturday night in San Jose, but it goes down as another loss, this time 4-3 at the hands of the Sharks. Lots of good things happened...Jarome Iginla scored a timely goal and Jay Bouwmeester showed some offensive flair...but in the end, Joe Pavelski's line was the difference, and they drop the Flames two games below. 500.
What Happened
This game had the look of an ugly one for the visitors, as they found themselves shorthanded just 58 seconds into the game...and just 66 seconds in, they found themselves down 1-0, as Joe Thornton snapped his sixth of the season past Miikka Kiprusoff. The Sharks would stake themselves to a 2-0 lead at 10:24 when Pavelski threaded a gorgeous pass to Ryane Clowe who zipped it through, and it was 2-0 after one. San Jose severely outchanced Calgary in that first period, 15-4 in fact, and Kiprusoff needed to come up with some large, timely saves to keep this game within striking distance.
And Calgary was able to close the gap early in the second period, thanks to a 5-on-3 powerplay, as Mark Giordano snapped his second of the season just 51 seconds in, but the Sharks would answer right back thanks to the Pavelski line again...Joe potted his fourth at 16:22 to stake San Jose to a 3-1 lead after 40. Give the Flames credit, they generated some chances in the middle frame, thanks to some powerplay time, but it gave them some optimism heading into the third.
Once again, Calgary reeled the Sharks back in, this time at 9:14 of the final frame...a real good shift lead by Jarome Iginla yielded a great cycle, and Jay Bouwmeester popped into the play at the right time to pot his second. But once again, Calgary couldn't keep the Sharks from coming back...a bad step up from Brendan Mikkelson set up an odd man rush the other way, and this time Logan Couture made the Flames pay, with his sixth at 14:10. And yet, Calgary battled back once more, and it was the captain who got them back within one...Jarome Iginla fired his third of the season at 19:23 from the left circle off a nice feed from Alex Tanguay, and it set things up for a frantic finish. Calgary got their offensive zone faceoff, but in the end, once again...it was too little, too late, and Calgary drops to 6-8 on the season.
One Good Reason...
...why the Flames lost? It came down to two things ultimately for me, but more than anything, they could not contain Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture and Ryane Clowe, who were absolutely dominant on this night. They were matched up primarily against Curtis Glencross, Olli Jokinen and Rene Bourque and outplayed them fairly consistently...both Glencross and Bourque were outchanced 9-0 at ES, while Jokinen was behind 8-1.
Calgary's powerplay also let them down, going 1/7 with some opportunities to tie the game. I know they scored on the 5-on-3, but when you're in a game like this, it's gotta be a little more timely.
Red Warrior
I'll go with the captain...Jarome Iginla responded on this night for the Flames. He had the late goal, played 20:33, and his strong shift lead to Bouwmeester's goal in the third period. I liked a lot of what we saw from him, and it came against pretty strong opposition, playing against San Jose's top line for good chunks of this game. Lets hope it's the start of a trend for him.
Sum It Up
Once again, it was a better effort for the Flames, but I know a lot of people are getting tired of hearing "good things, but not good enough." I for one don't buy the argument that they're not good enough to win games...I certainly don't think they're a top team, but I also think they're better than 6-8. However, eventually you have to start winning games when you play fairly well in them, and if the hole ends up being too deep, at some point it's going to be too hard to dig yourself out. The Flames take on Phoenix on Wednesday.
I don't think we need to "rebuild".
We have some great prospects, and some young players who are already stepping it up.
Darryl has dug himself into a bit of a hole with all of the multi-year deals linked with NTC's.
Hagman is tradeable. At this point I don't think Tanguay is a guy we should resign unless it's for less money, Staios & White are outta here.
Does Langkow's money come off the books if he retires?
Regardless we are going to have a bit of cash to play with, some notable UFA's are Semin, Leino, Laich, Richards, Hejduk.
Next year a couple of our prospects should be at a place where they can compete for a spot on the roster - Nemisz, Wahl, Cameron, Brodie, Bouma, I think the biggest thing for next year is that we don't sign any stupid contracts & try to develop the prospects, even if it means icing a somewhat inexperienced roster ex. Colorado last year.
It wouldn't be a rebuild because we aren't blowing up the roster (I don't think it's even possible with all of the NTC's) but a shift in the mindset of "being one or two tweaks away", that has been our biggest downfall in the last few years, Darryl was always making tweaks & throwing old guys in there instead of developing young talent.
Really? Name them. 12 points in 19 games, not one player close to the top 20 in scoring.
Nemisz and Wahl need at least 2 full seasons in the AHL. By the time either makes an impact in the NHL you're looking at about 5 years. Howse is their top offensive talent by a mile, but it's s lot to assume he can jump straight into the NHL, especially since his defensive game needs a lot of work. Probably 3 years at least from making an impact in the NHL.
Maybe Hagman is tradeable, so what? For what? Some pucks and tape?
And we have no cash to "play" with. This team sits at the max, 11 players have no trade clauses, 18 million is committed to defense.
Sorry, but anyone who thinks this team can change it's fortunes around through tinkering has been asleep the last 6 years.
As far as that useless idiot King is concerned and his comments about 97& renewal, well, that's just more proof to me that the Flames' owners are no different than people like Jeremy Jacobs, Bill Wirtz and Harold Ballard. They could care less about contending, only making money. "Just good enough to fill the seats." GO SPIT! is what I say. I want a winner!
It's like the guy knocking Chicago, I don't get it. they won the CUP! That's the goal, not to be "competitive." Hoping you claw your way in and ride the back of a hot goalie is not the solution. Who cares what it took for Chicago to get there, they won the CUP! 'Nuff Said!
All 4 GMs since Fletcher have had one thing in common, no true rebuild, be competitive now. Even in the Coates years, "something for now, something for the future, we have to be competitive now." Well, it killed the franchise. A few spots higher on some picks, a few better more picks, a few more prospects and a dedication to scouting with a rebuild in mind and all those guys chosen from 94 to 98 would be our core right now.
So how can all these GMs want to be competitive now? The philosophy must come from the owners. Well, here's the only stat Flames fans need to know:
Yeah, sure seems like a sound strategy vs. the rebuild.
Yeah I'm sure Brent was the guy who drove the bus in NJ. Couldn't be Parise, because he's terrible.
You don't see successful teams do what the Flames D are told to do which is to maintain 10-15 foot separation no matter what context. F back support, no support, 1 opposing F, 2, 3... The same move almost every time.
I'm still waiting to hear from you about exactly what is wrong with the PP. I doubt you even know.
It pays to have a worthwhile opinion before expressing it.
...as long as the team is selling out regular season games and making money via a few playoff games the owners will be happy. No owners wants to go through what Chicago went through and have 5,000 fans at the games with no playoffs for the better part of a decade. Many owners have BBA and are accountants. Most of what they see is black vs red on the balance sheet.
As far as the article goes, the Flames have at times been opportunistic; good on them.
However, tell me how many times you've watched the opposition bring their "A" game. I mean watched them and thought "wow, that team really brought it, I mean they were at the top of their game for 60 minutes."
And yet Calgary still won.
I can't think of any outside maybe that 1-0 win against the Preds.
Sure as heck, SJ and LA didn't bring it int their losses.
We're lucky that we're not chasing Edmonton.
I may as well start it now:
It's the Couturier, Nugent-Hopkins, Larsson sweepstakes countdown! Which one do we get?
Or does Darryl trade it for Mike Modano (former 40 goal scorer people!)?
...just because you negate Brent's input doesn't make you statement true. With any team sport you can make an arguement such as the one you made.
...actually I feel most people on this board have an idea of what is wrong with the Flames PP (sadly RO, you are not a genius that exclusively has the all prevailing answer). How many times do the Flames carry the puck to just inside the blue line and have it taken away and iced? They don't have the players with the speed, puck control, or offensive sense to gain offensive zone control off the rush. Is that the only reason for the Flames lackluster PP, no, but a main reason out of many.
...stop with the childish insults RO, your not impressing anyone.
Sorry, but I'm having trouble with this 10-15 foot thing. Is this something you read or just your observations?
Maybe you can explain it better, because I'm just not getting how this is feasible and may not know exactly what you mean here?
This is a threadjack, but I just saw the All-Star ballots come out. The Flames nominees are Iginla, Bouwmeester and Kiprusoff.
I know this is just the All-Star ballot and totally meaningless but it encapsulates so much of the Flames since December of last year that I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
On one hand it is obvious these players, at least to this point in this season, are far from All-Star calibre (and yes even Kiprusoff who is 31st in the league with a .903 sv%). Yet, name one other player on the Flames who would be even close to being an All-Star? Maybe Bourque, and that is a huge enormous stretch.
Our "star" players have played bad to average and our secondary players, while some have exceeded or met expectations, are still decidedly mediocre.
Double infuriation bonus: Regardless of his point totals, Iginla will still get picked by one of the captains and make the team. Book it.
Bourque, Giordano, Glencross, Moss, are all great players, you are ignorant if you can't agree that these are all younger guys playing well. Without them we would have less than the 12 points in 19 games we currently have.
Staios, White, Langkow, are all coming off the books.
Thats over 10 mil right there.
So that would be cash we have to do something with.
We still have Pardy & Mikkleson who are decent 3rd pairing choices & Brodie who will be ready for a spot next year.
I never once said that the current lineup with a few moves will succeed, I actually said that this strategy won't work. But I also don't feel a complete demolition & reconfiguration of the team is necessary.
I believe that there is a middle ground between trying to stay competitive to sell tickets & completely rebuilding.
It all comes down to Darryl, he needs to stop signing contracts & star infusing the team with prospects, I'm not buying Nemisz, Wahl & Howse are 5 years away from making any impact in the big league.

"Sorry, but anyone who thinks this team can change it's fortunes around through tinkering has been asleep the last 6 years."
They have been tinkering, and they have been close, however there have been 3 years of consecutive declines in expectation and performance of the key personnell (save for Kiprusoff's awesome bounce back last season) Now the value of some of the assets are diminished again, and cupboard looks bare.
I can understand both the fans' and management's trepidation in committing to the rebuild through the draft, since this since this team has drafted abysmally since, oh, 1985.
Going in to this year - the prospect stable was ranked around 26th - so wolf you are right there are no impact players there. I would suggest that by the middle of the season that ranking will come up as AHL rookies Wahl,Brodie, Cameron and Nemisz appear to be better than some of the 24-25 year olds they let walk.
I think that if you are out of the playoff race by the All Star game, you do have 3 assets that would draw interest: first Glencross, then White and finally Hagman. If moving those guys helps restock the farm, that's the best we can hope for. If you assume Hagman stays and Langkow retires, you have 16 players under contract at $51.5. Add Brodie and one of either Pardy or Mikkelson and a backup goalie adds 2 million. This leaves less than $10 million to add another defenseman and 3 forwards - will there be some $2 million "bargains" available ? Maybe. Will they have enough impact to make this group better? Doubful.
"Bourque, Giordano, Glencross, Moss, are all great players, you are ignorant if you can't agree that these are all younger guys playing well."
Define "great." They're good players (jury is still out on Moss), none are first line impact players. I'd like to say Bourque, but he's maddeningly inconsistent.
"Staios, White, Langkow, are all coming off the books."
And at least 1 of those positions needs to be replaced and ideally it'd be nice to have a little more cap room. So maybe you can sign an impact guy. So far that hasn't worked out too well for Darryl.
"I'm not buying Nemisz, Wahl & Howse are 5 years away from making any impact in the big league."
Their numbers dictate otherwise. Remember, I'm talking impact, not yet another 3rd line guy.
"I can understand both the fans' and management's trepidation in committing to the rebuild through the draft, since this since this team has drafted abysmally since, oh, 1985."
Then that's what needs to be fixed. Fans need to understand that 2004 was lightning in a bottle. They had the right chemistry at the right time, under the right set of rules and rode the back of a hot goalie. Once you look past that it's 4 GMs not moving past the first round in 2 decades. 4 GMs since Fletcher all trying to re-tool and win now. Doesn't work, obviously.
I think you could've re-tooled a few seasons ago. Which is when I wanted to trade Iggy (right after his 50 goals and 98 points). Because looking at it I knew that if Iggy could score like that and they still weren't good enough to go anywhere, then changes were needed.
As well, at 30 years of age and those stats, I knew that his was height, max trade value was to be had and teams would've given away a fortune.
Now? It's too late. The bargaining chips just aren't there to do a re-tool that will result in a contender.
The one time this was successful, remember, was when they did build through the draft. That '89 team contained many home-grown players: Vernon, Nieuwendyk, Roberts, Loob, MacInnis, Suter, Fleury, Hunter, Peplinski, etc.
We also picked guys like Hull, Reichel, Nylander, etc. which allowed us the assets to trade and go all the way and remain competitive afterwards.
The only way to win the Cup is to build a team through (even the '94 Rangers drafted Leetch and Richter, at least as important as the ex-Oilers that came in) shrewd drafting and proper development. And the best way to do that given the Flames roster is a blow-up. The parts are worth more than the sum in this case.

Looove Paris Hilton shoes...But....
"I love Parish Hilton shoes particularly the packaging. This is my third pair of Parish Hilton. I bought the gold. They arrived yesterday. The shoes glittered far more than they do on the site and they run very short and narrow and not comfy at all. After reading the reviews, I bought one size larger than my feet. It was still too short and too narrow!"

"OK, so these shoes are beautiful! However, as the others have reviewed - they are ridiculously short. I ordered a half size larger and that's still not enough, so sadly I have to return them, but I'm hopeful they'll have my size and I can get the replacements and wear them. They really are lovely - just way too small!"

Thirty-five of the thirty-nine counties in Washington have Library Districts, including Stevens County and Ferry County to the west and Spokane County to the south. All Library Districts in the state are funded in the same manner. Property owners in Stevens County, Ferry County, or Spokane County pay the same levy rate as property owners in Pend Oreille County.
The Washington State Laws regarding public libraries are in the RCW (Revised Code of Washington) beginning in Title 27 Section12
About Property Tax in General:
State law requires County Assessors to appraise property at 100 percent of its true and fair market value in money, according to the highest and best use of the property.
Reductions, Exemptions and Deferrals:
State law allows for several methods of reducing, exempting or deferring property taxes. Agriculture, open space, or timber lands are eligible for reduced assessed value, which means that the tax is also reduced. Seniors and disabled persons may be eligible for property tax exemptions or deferrals. Churches, federal, state and local government units, and many nonprofit agencies do not pay property taxes when their property is used for a tax-exempt purpose.
Appeal of Appraised Value:
You may appeal your property's appraised value by contacting the County Assessor's office or the County Board of Equalization.
Property Tax Limitations:
Library District property tax revenue increases are limited both by the rate of inflation (Implicit Price Deflator) and by the 1% cap.
