When I'm in a hurry, I always seem to break a shoelace tying my shoes. Won't buy that brand of shoelace again.
When I'm late for an appointment, I always seem to make myself even later by trying a shortcut. Why are these darn streets so poorly marked?
When I'm in a strange city, it always seems that other people drive like maniacs. Why don't they drive like me?
When I'm frustrated with myself, I seem to be most apt to say a cross word to someone else. What's wrong with these people?
Certain circumstances draw out the worst in me, though my initial reaction is to point the blame elsewhere. That's usually the way it works with pet peeves.
Pet peeves raise my ire, get my dander up, make me clench my fists or throw up my hands in frustration. They are those annoying imperfections I observe in the world around me, which in my estimation just shouldn't be there. Often my pet peeves have to do with things that keep happening, or people who keep behaving the same way, even though I have already expressed my disagreement. My pet peeves can even cause me to give an impromptu lecture on what I learned in school. An early morning pet peeve can ruin a whole day.
I have my share of pet peeves, but in the scheme of things they are unimportant and probably useless to those around me. They are knee-jerk judgments I render on people and the world based on perspectives to which I tenaciously, though often uncritically, cling. My pet peeves can cause me to expend lots of emotional energy, often in spurts. I have learned from observing how I let them affect me that when I insist on everyone else being reasonable as I define "reasonable," I become the most unreasonable of all.
There is a difference between having righteous anger over something that is clearly wrong, immoral, false, or harmful, and having a pet peeve. For example, we have a responsibility to defend our faith when it is being taught falsely; we have a duty to defend someone whose rights are being denied; it can be an act of justice and charity to confront another about a serious fault that has affected us or others. If we never act on righteous anger, we give the impression that anything goes. Acting on pet peeves, however, creates its own set of problems.
Pet peeves aren't problematic because they're totally wrong, for they might well contain some measure of validity. They are problematic because, for the most part, they are about me. I take something potentially important and reduce its importance to how it affects me. Pet peeves seem to be about how the world "out there" should change, but for the most part they're about how I should change.
It helps to take a look at pet peeves and ask why I clutch them so tightly. Many times I discover that the reason I had let myself be bothered by them was that there was something going on in my life (I was hurried, late, worried, hurt) which needed attention, and I let my frustration with myself color my attitude. To my embarrassment, I notice that I am often guilty of the very subject of my pet peeve. I hear the voice of St. Paul: "You are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things" (Romans 2:1).
Most of us would be more peace-filled throughout the day — as would those around us — if, when our pet peeves grab hold of us, we drop them, then and there, with a laugh. "There I go again."
When it comes to morality, Jesus says clearly that wrong is wrong and evil is evil. But when it comes to judgment, I should begin with myself.
"Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?" (see Matthew 7:1-5)
"The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you." I am reminded of a retreat director who once said, "Life gives us change back in the currency with which we do business." He meant that the reactions we elicit from others often spring from the way we have approached them in the first place. Have I scowled or been demanding or sarcastic? Have I packed so many expectations into an hour that I have rushed around frantically, stretching to the breaking point not only my shoelaces but also my patience? Is it possible that my pet peeves would not have been ruffled had I behaved more considerately in the first place, or had I been on time and not in a hurry?
Paul encouraged the Romans (14:13), "Then let us no longer judge one another, but rather resolve never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother." Perhaps a good antidote to the power pet peeves have over us is to take a good look at ourselves, then pave a smooth road for those around us with kindness, patience, forgiveness, and humility.

Sixty-three years to the day after his actions saved the lives of his fellow soldiers, a Marine was honored Wednesday on Grand Island.
At the Charles N. DeGlopper Veterans of Foreign Wars Post, Congressman Brian Higgins presented the family of Cpl. Richard J. Blasinski with medals earned by Blasinski as a member of the "Chosin Few," a name given to the Marines who fought in the Battle of Wonsan-Hungnam-Chosin in North Korea during the Korean War. Outnumbered 8 to 1 on one of the coldest days in North Korea, Marines fought Chinese forces in rough terrain.
On the very first day of the battle, Nov. 27, 1950, Blasinski went above and beyond the call of duty. Higgins read the citation for the Silver Star that noted Blasinski's "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving with Company H, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines, first Marine Division."
The citation said: "When his unit was attacked and overrun by a numerically superior hostile force, Cpl. Blasinski quickly reorganized his squad and deployed them to localize the enemy penetration. Moving from end to end of his unit, he placed the men in advantageous firing positions, ignoring the heavy enemy fire directed on the area. Courageously remaining in an exposed position, he competently and effectively supervised return fire, which directly aided the company in halting the hostile advance. During the brief respite, which followed, he evacuated his wounded and, on his own initiative, skillfully improved his defenses. When the enemy attacked again, he boldly led his men through intense small arms, machine gun and grenade fire, engaging the hostile troops in fierce hand-to-hand combat, dislodging the enemy from their well-entrenched positions and securing the flank. Covering the reorganization of the company, he successfully warded off hostile probes until the remainder of the unit was in position. By his aggressive determination, outstanding leadership and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of heavy enemy opposition, Cpl. Blasinski upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."
Blasinski was never formally recognized before his passing in 1991. Higgins said the ceremony paid tribute to Blasinski's lifesaving actions when his country needed him the most. "Cpl. Blasinski demonstrated selfless leadership and bravery," said Higgins. "So many veterans never seek recognition, but it is important for us, as a nation, to never forget their sacrifices. We are honored to join the Blasinski family in remembering his service."
Higgins presented the medals at the DeGlopper Memorial VFW Post No. 9249 to Blasinski's family, including his daughter, Carol Blasinski-Rhonemus, a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at the VFW Post No. 9249. Bored one night surfing the Internet, Carol searched her late father's name and learned of his heroics. Her father had never talked about his actions.
"When I found out what he did, I was amazed," she said. She began the process with the help of Higgins and the VFW of securing her father's medals.
The VFW works "one person at a time when people can't find their medals or don't know where their parent's medals are," said Grand Islander Dan McMahon, senior vice commander of VFW District 6. He said the work is the VFW's way of honoring the dead by helping the living.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a problem of not being able to focus, being overactive, not being able control behavior, or a combination of these. For these problems to be diagnosed as ADHD, they must be out of the normal range for a person's age and development.
Alternative Names
ADD; ADHD; Childhood hyperkinesis
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
ADHD usually begins in childhood but may continue into the adult years. It is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder in children. ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys than in girls.
It is not clear what causes ADHD. A combination of genes and environmental factors likely plays a role in the development of the condition. Imaging studies suggest that the brains of children with ADHD are different from those of children without ADHD.
Symptoms of ADHD fall into three groups:
- Not being able to focus (inattentiveness)
- Being extremely active (hyperactivity)
- Not being able to control behavior (impulsivity)
Some people with ADHD have mainly inattentive symptoms. Some have mainly hyperactive and impulsive symptoms. Others have a combination of different symptom types. Those with mostly inattentive symptoms are sometimes said to have attention deficit disorder (ADD). They tend to be less disruptive and are more likely not to be diagnosed with ADHD.
Inattentive Symptoms
- Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork
- Has difficulty keeping attention during tasks or play
- Does not seem to listen when spoken to directly
- Does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork or chores and tasks
- Has problems organizing tasks and activities
- Avoids or dislikes tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork)
- Often loses toys, assignments, pencils, books, or tools needed for tasks or activities
- Is easily distracted
- Is often forgetful in daily activities
Hyperactivity Symptoms
- Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat
- Leaves seat when remaining seated is expected
- Runs about or climbs in inappropriate situations
- Has problems playing or working quietly
- Is often "on the go," acts as if "driven by a motor"
- Talks excessively
Impulsivity Symptoms
- Blurts out answers before questions have been completed
- Has difficulty awaiting turn
- Interrupts or intrudes on others (butts into conversations or games)
Signs and tests
If ADHD is suspected, the individual should be evaluated by a health care professional. There is no test that can make or exclude a diagnosis of ADHD. The diagnosis is based on a pattern of the symptoms listed above. When the person with suspected ADHD is a child, parents and teachers are usually involved during the evaluation process.
Most children with ADHD have at least one other developmental or mental health problem, such as a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder; a learning disability; or a tic disorder. A doctor can help determine whether these other conditions are present.
Treating ADHD is a partnership between the health care provider and the patient. If the patient is a child, parents and often teachers are involved. For treatment to work, it is important to:
- Set specific, appropriate goals.
- Start medicine and/or talk therapy.
- Follow-up regularly with the doctor to check on goals, results, and any side effects of medicines. During these visits, information should be gathered from the patient and if relevant, parents and teachers.
If treatment does not seem to work, the health care provider will likely:
- Confirm the person has ADHD
- Check for medical conditions that can cause similar symptoms
- Make sure the treatment plan is being followed
Medicine combined with behavioral treatment often works best. There are several different ADHD medicines that may be used alone or in combination. The health care provider will decide which medicine is right based on the person's symptoms and needs.
Psychostimulants (also known as stimulants) are the most commonly used ADHD medicines. Although these drugs are called stimulants, they actually have a calming effect in people with ADHD.
Follow the health care provider's instructions on how to take ADHD medicine.
Some ADHD medicines have side effects. If the person has side effects, contact the health care provider right away. The dosage or medicine itself may need to be changed.
Therapy for both the patient and if relevant, the family, can help everyone understand and gain control of the stressful feelings related to ADHD.
A common type of ADHD therapy is called behavioral therapy. It teaches children and parents healthy behaviors and how to manage disruptive behaviors. For mild cases of ADHD, behavioral therapy alone (without medicine) can sometimes be effective.
Support groups can help the patient and family connect with others who have similar problems.
Other tips to help a child with ADHD include:
- Talk regularly with the child's teacher.
- Keep a consistent daily schedule, including regular times for homework, meals, and outdoor activities. Make changes to the schedule in advance and not at the last moment.
- Limit distractions in the child's environment.
- Make sure the child gets a healthy, varied diet, with plenty of fiber and basic nutrients.
- Make sure the child gets enough sleep.
- Praise and reward good behavior.
- Provide clear and consistent rules for the child.
There is little proof that alternative treatments for ADHD such as herbs, supplements, and chiropractic are helpful.
Expectations (prognosis)
ADHD is a long-term, chronic condition. If it is not treated correctly, ADHD may lead to:
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Not doing well in school
- Problems keeping a job
- Trouble with the law
One third to one half of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity as adults. Adults with ADHD are often able to control behavior and mask difficulties.
Calling your health care provider
Call the doctor if you or your child's school staff suspect ADHD. You should also tell the doctor about:
- Problems at home, school, and with peer relationships
- Side effects of ADHD medicine
- Signs of depression

Welcome to our website on Alinskyian Community Organizing. Our focus is on how it has interacted with the Catholic Church and Catholic Social Doctrine, however it is not limited to that. Much of the material is about the political nature of community organizing and how it has negatively impacted and influenced the church and nation.
The purpose of this website is to fight the encroachment of the Industrial Areas Foundation (in the form of VOICE, formerly the Oklahoma Sponsoring Committee) into the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and throughout the United States and the World. We believe their goals (and those of all Alinskyian community organizers) are antithetical to the teachings of the Catholic Church, and that their actions will in the long run harm the very people that the IAF purports to help.
We welcome you to explore the many pages and lnks here. Below are some of the latest things we have come across, followed by "Key Information" which gives you a primer on our struggle here in Oklahoma and on community organizing in general.
"It is the duty of pastors to listen carefully and with an open heart to laymen and repeatedly to engage in a living dialogue with them. For each and every layman has been given his own gifts and charisms, and more often than not has greater experience than the clergy in daily life in the world." Leon-Joseph Cardinal Suenens, Belgen Prelate, Vatican 2 Council.

If you want to get a quick lesson on Alinsky and community organizing then watch "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," an EWTN original documentary about Saul Alinsky.
Unmasking Saul Alinsky, a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing A brilliant new EWTN film unmasks the man behind community organizing and what has greatly contributed to today's chaotic culture. Read the article in the National Catholic Register!
Interview with author Stephanie Block on the Alinskyian inroads into American politics and religion Here is a Podcast of an interview with Stephanie Block. (Posted 5/14/16)
The Catholic Church loses its mission while grasping for political solutions Stephanie Block discusses community organizers working in California to force a Democrat's version of Restorative Justice upon all citizens. "...churches have become so focused on accomplishing secular tasks for which they are only minimally equipped that they have, within many congregations and some entire denominations, abandoned the spiritual tasks for which they were founded." (Posted 5/16/16)

Key Information
If you are just finding out about Alinskyian Community Organizing then you might want to start here. These few documents and the video below are a pretty good primer.
Oklahoma City Community Organizing Efforts Justification
This letter was written by one of the individuals who initially brought the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) into Oklahoma. It addresses many issues and builds a case of support for community organizing. It was intended to address the concerns of the parishioners about the IAF.
Our response to the above letter in which we addressed each claim on a point by point basis. As will be obvious from reading our letter, their letter did nothing to address our concerns, rather, it inflamed them and stiffened our resolve to stop the IAF. No rebuttal of any of the points we made in this letter was ever received.
This handout was prepared as part of the struggle to remove the IAF/OSC from our parish. Also available are Spanish and Vietnamese versions.
Why We Are Against the IAF in 100 Words or Less
The video of Stephanie Block's presentation about Alinskyian Community Organizing is available on YouTube!
Stephanie Block Presentation on Alinskyian Community Organizing
She spoke at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond on Saturday, October 10, 2009. Still valid today, it's some of the best information we have seen on the subject. A DVD is available upon request.
"It may well require that we put away half-measures. We cannot hope to renew society if society cannot detect a difference in the way Catholics marry, raise their families, conduct their businesses or serve in government. In other words, we can never hope to renew society unless we ourselves are committed to renewal in our own lives. And we can never hope to renew society as long as we find ways to accommodate social values that are fundamentally opposed to the values of the Gospel."
Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight, Knights of Columbus
In a nutshell, Community Organizing is a method for people to join together to gain power for the attainment of mutual goals in their neighborhood, city, etc. This sounds like a wonderful idea. Unfortunately, most community organizers hold to a "progressive" political ideology that is considerably "left of center", and have brought their politics into the church.
We believe that the leaders of the Catholic Church in America (bishops, cardinals, and priests) have been assaulted (and in some cases co-opted) by politicians and secularists, and have compromised on many issues that have negatively affected our Church and our Country. When Catholic institutions, or politicians who claim to be Catholic, openly embrace positions contrary to the Church's teachings millions are left confused as to what the truth is. The Catholic Church must hold to the Truth. The Truth must be found and told. We will strive to attain the Truth to our dying breath. We will be supportive of our Church and Her hierarchy, and we will pray for Her, for God's guidance to those on both sides of this issue, and for our country. Please join us in prayer and in taking a stand on this issue.
We believe it is not only our right to bring up our concerns, but also our duty per the Code of Canon Law.
Can. 212 "1. Conscious of their own responsibility, the Christian faithful are bound to follow with Christian obedience those things which the sacred pastors, inasmuch as they represent Christ, declare as teachers of the faith or establish as rulers of the Church.
"2. The Christian faithful are free to make known to the pastors of the Church their needs, especially spiritual ones, and their desires.
"3. According to the knowledge, competence, and prestige which they possess, they have the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful, without prejudice to the integrity of faith and morals, with reverence toward their pastors, and attentive to common advantage and the dignity of persons. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__PU.HTM

Office of Lifespan Studies
Quick Links
According to a 2007 Census Bureau report, Horry County South Carolina, i.e. Myrtle Beach area, is ranked the fourth fastest growing area in the nation and it is anticipated that the Grand Strand area will see its older adult population more than double over the next 20 years. Thus the graying of the region increases the demand for Coastal Carolina University students with interdisciplinary educational training and experiences in gerontology and in degreed programs that provide curriculum and/ or specializations in aging studies. There will also be a growing need for training non-traditional students for competitive jobs as 50 percent of the labor force will begin retiring in four years. And, because of changing demographics, there will be a shortage of younger professionals available to fill the job vacancies left by an aging and, more often than not, long tenured workforce.
Recognizing the burgeoning population growth that is currently taking place and the growth expected with aging baby boomers and others locating to the area, the Office of Lifespan Studies, (formerly the Center for Active Aging and Retirement), is expanding and establishing new collaborations within the College of Natural and Applied Sciences and across academic disciplines within the University and the Community to address the new demands of an increasingly larger and older population not only within the region, but nationally and internationally. Examples of careers in-demand include case management, social work, counseling, elder law, law enforcement, health promotions and physical fitness, activity directors, nutrition specialists, finance officers, insurance agents, estate planners, real estate developers and associates, communications professionals, recreation and tourism management, community service organizations, governmental agency services, long-term care administration, public administration, media relations, and a host of others. Source Association for Gerontology in Higher Education: Careers in Aging and CAAR.
The Office of Lifespan Studies serves as the educational and research center for aging resources for the university and region.
The Office of Lifespan Studies' core values are to promote programs and services that:
- Lead to well trained graduates who contribute to a quality workforce.
- Provide professionals with education and training to serve aging populations.
- Enhance the knowledge base with quality research to improve the quality of life of aging populations.
Enables consumers' access to reliable and accurate research and educational resources to make informed decisions.

Above : I love farmhouse apron front sinks. While I love light blue, I don't know if I would paint my cabinets blue... unless it was a little cottage or beach house - that would be perfect. I also love this polished nickel elevated faucet.
I really like Sear's Kenmore Pro line of appliances. I think they have the "Viking" look and functionality without the price. This refrigerator is a major refrigerator. The tiles are fantastic, as well as the commercial kitchen look - it will be a long time before this goes out of style, if it ever would.
I don't think you have to have matching brand appliances for your kitchen, but you do have to be careful with stainless steel. Different brands contain different qualities of metals that make them look different "colors."
I happen to LOVE this Sears Pro range - it is big, but not too big, it is commercial looking, and it is all stainless - no black or red knobs.
Do you have a favorite appliance/brand?

Ben JonsonBiography
On his return to London in 1595 he became an actor and a playwright. He produced his first successful play Every Man in His Humour, in 1598 (Shakespeare, a friend, acted in it). Shortly after this, Jonson, always hotheaded, was imprisoned and nearly executed for killing a fellow actor in a duel. Once released, he continued his career in the theatre, gained the favour of James I, and became a writer of court masques - elaborate spectacles that involved music, dancing, and pageantry. During this period he also wrote a number of satiric comedies, two of which - Volpone and The Alchemist - are still considered among the supreme satiric achievements of the English stage.
After the death of James I, Jonson was neglected by both the public and the court, for Charles I patronised painters rather than writers. Nevertheless, he became the centre of a circle of young poets who dubbed themselves "The Tribe of Ben" and regularly joined him at the Mermaid Tavern for feasts of wine and wit. At his death Jonson was widely mourned as the last of the great Elizabethans. He lies buried in Westminster Abbey under the inscriptions "O Rare Ben Jonson".

Thread: Brits' terror over hole in jumbo
Results 1 to 10 of 17
#1 Brits' terror over hole in jumbo07-25-2008, 12:01 PM
Passengers on a packed jumbo jet flight from London spoke today of their terror after a gaping hole appeared in the plane as it headed for Australia.
Some passengers were so terrified they vomited when oxygen masks had to be used as the Melbourne-bound Qantas Boeing 747 plane prepared to make an emergency landing in the Philippines.
Passengers spoke of hearing a loud bang and debris flying into the first class cabin as the planes flooring gave way, part of the ceiling collapsed and the plane reportedly plunged 20,000ft.
The aircraft touched down safely in Manila at 11.15am local time and amazingly all 346 passengers and 19 crew disembarked normally.
Manila airport operations officer Ding Lima told local radio the plane lost cabin pressure shortly after take-off on the Hong Kong to Melbourne leg of its journey and the pilot radioed for an emergency landing.

I suspect the "plunging 20,000 feet" was deliberate to descend below 10,000. This is normal but I'm sure frightening. I as a pilot make a truly bad passenger. Had I been on the flight, descending below 10,000 would not have improved the breathing due to the massive evacuation of my colon into my pants.:eek:
Doesnt look like heavy structural - just a side-wall blow out. My bet is something got on board and let go - right next to the fuselage tube wall. The inspections on these long-flight / over-water aircraft are (especially with this airline) at a surgical level. Somebody probably packed something unsafe - and labeled it otherwise.
Fortunately - they wont be in business any longer, and, of course the crew had the professionalism to keep everyone safe on board.
more on the story......
Qantas passenger Phill Restall, from Chippenham in the UK, describes how he was woken by a loud bang on flight QF30 to Melbourne which was forced to make an emergency landing after leaving Hong Kong.
I was asleep in the business section of the plane. All of a sudden there was a loud bang which woke me up with a jolt. There was a mist coming through the cabin and the oxygen masks discharged.
The cabin crew shouted to everyone to put them on, then they sat down.
We wearing them for about 15 minutes until we descended.
We went down very rapidly to equalise out the pressure.
I guessed it was going down a bit faster than usual. From the little knowledge I have of these things I thought that was what the pilot was doing.
No-one panicked, there was no screaming. It wasn't your typical television movie. Everyone listened to the cabin staff.
It was never out of control. Hats off to all of the Qantas staff.
Passengers on Qantas 747 with damaged fuselage were riveted, but was a panel loose?
It is not unusual that parts fall off aircraft in flight, but it is extremely uncommon that they cause a decompression of the passenger cabin.
In this instance an outer skin panel close to the wing and adjacent to one of the forward cargo hold doors separated from the rest of the airframe. Pictures of the aircraft clearly show that this was a system failure rather than being caused by, for example, an internal or external explosion. The panel in question appears to have been ripped away cleanly by the passage of the wind over the skin of the aircraft.
For this to occur, the indication is that a fault, either in manufacturing or maintenance, occurred.
The skin of aircraft is made up of very many such panels, all of which are riveted and glued in place.
Where such riveting is faulty for whatever reason, conditions exist such that, over time, wear and tear weakens joints and inevitably leads to failure similar to that that occurred on board QF30. As the air accident investigators go about the business of determining the cause of this incident, a thorough examination of the zone where the rupture occurred will be carried out. The focus for investigators will most likely rest on metal fatigue either within the skin sections or the riveting holding the panel to remainder of the airframe.
Boeing, the manufacturer of the 747-400 series of aircraft, as well as other airlines operating this type of aircraft, will be watching the progress of the investigation closely.
Should a flaw emerge that requires remedial work in other 747-400 aircraft operating around the world, then instructions will be delivered promptly to ensure that the remainder of in-service aircraft are as safe as they can possibly be.

Experts focus on oxygen tank in Quantas explosion
Associated Press - July 27, 2008 3:33 AM ET
MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Australia's Quantas airlines has been ordered to urgently inspect every oxygen bottle aboard its fleet of 30 Boeing 747 jetliners following the emergency landing of 1 of its jets Friday in the Philippines.
Australian investigators are focusing on the possibility that an oxygen cylinder could have exploded mid-flight, ripping a hole in the side of the jet with 346 passengers on board. The pilot managed to land it safely at the airport in Manila and no one was injured.
Officials say the investigation is now safety-related, with no evidence of terrorism.
Australian aviation safety authority official Peter Gibson says an inspection of all Qantas oxygen bottles on its fleet will take several days.
Investigators say they're still gathering the facts and the oxygen bottle probe is just one theory.

|Swiss Chard
Still, we did get our zuke seeds in the ground, as well as some starter chard (getting going, to the right) and kale plants, and a few herbs (parsley, oregano, thyme). I'm disappointed we didn't get to basil. I looked for the starter plants, but they were scarce this year (at least once we got to it)! I'll have to settle on stocking up on my cherished basil at the farmer's market.
|wee wee kale and more chard
|go, chard, go!
Here's the chard a couple of weeks ago, getting bigger and stronger!

A little blog about life, family, food, and living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest
Thursday, December 18, 2008
All day long today, I've been craving veggies. I miss my summer garden, both the convenience and goodness it provided. Now that the weather has turned blustery, we've been eating more "cold weather" meals for dinner. Heavier and heartier than our summer dining fare, these winter meals have all been very tasty, yet the thought of eating another large dose of meat tonight just didn't sit well with me. Then I found my oldest daughter, who is a big veggie girl anyway, snacking on a bag of cut up lettuce. "Okay," I say to myself, "I hear you ... you want veggies! Your daughter wants veggies! I'm not one to mess with fate. Let's lighten the load and have a full flavored veggie meal."
Then I said to myself, "Self, what about your carnivorous husband and son? What can you do, short of waving the proverbial magic wand, to make veggies the star of the show, but include some meat to satisfy the men-folk?"
Answer: Stir fry. Two words that make me smile and my taste buds dance just thinking about them. Do you ever prepare stir fry's? What do you think of them? I think they are just super-de-duper. In less than 30 minutes, you can have a really tasty, tummy pleasing meal. Any veggies will do; I used what I had handy. I wish I had some nappa cabbage to add, too, as I love cabbage in stir fry's. Other folks might like sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts, pea pods, etc. I served this tantalizing combo over rice because of my gluten free eater, but you can pair stir fry's with noodles, if you like. Start cooking your rice or noodles before you begin your prep work, and in no time at all, you'll be crunching and munching on your dinner.
Another bonus with stir fry's is that I'm able to enjoy what I like to call "the perfect bite". (Did you ever see the movie "The Mirror Has Two Faces", where Barbara Streisand likes to load her fork with different foods in her quest for the perfect bite?) You've seen me posting loaded fork photos ... my quest for the perfect blend of flavors all in one bite. Here we go –
Stir Fry Veggies with Pork
1 Tablespoon oil – I used canola
1 head of fresh broccoli – sliced into bite sized pieces
2 large carrots – bias sliced, thin
1 onion – sliced into medium wedges
1 green pepper - sliced into med/thin long strips
1 garlic clove – sliced in half, and then into thin shaved slices
Sea Salt
½ teaspoon Ground ginger
3 pork chops – sliced into thin strips and tossed with salt, pepper, and a little oil
Soy Sauce – I used gluten free shoyu sauce
1 green onion – sliced thin for garnish
Hot chili sesame oil – few shakes for garnish
Hot cooked rice – I used a loooong grain basmati
In a large bowl, place about a ½ cup of water and add the broccoli. Put uncovered into microwave, and zap on high for about 3 minutes. Leave in the microwave to semi steam while you keep prepping the other veggies. In a large sauté pan or wok, heat the oil and add the onion. Stir fry for 30 seconds. Add the carrots and green pepper and stir fry for an additional 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and keep stirring. Add the ground ginger (I didn't have fresh) and stir it in. Very quickly, drain the broccoli and add to the pan. Keep stir frying for about 2 more minutes, and then remove veggies and place in a bowl near the stove. Your pan should be really hot. Now add the pork. It should really sizzle up. Stir it constantly until the pork is done. This happens relatively quickly ... just 2 or 3 minutes. Doesn't it look pretty? Sprinkle the meat with about 3 or 4 shakes of soy sauce, stir it in, and then return all the veggies back to the pan. Toss together and remove from the heat.They look so pretty all mixed together. We're almost done ... but go ahead and sneak a little nibble. I won't tell. Plate with rice, and sprinkle with green onion and chili sesame oil. The chili sesame oil really added a ton of flavor and just a wee bit of heat. Use just regular sesame oil if you aren't a fan of the chili version.
Now it's time to compose the perfect bite. Lots of crunchy but not raw veggies, awesome rice (look at those long grains!) to provide a different texture component, and a strip of meat to satisfy the carnivores.Just a quick taste and ..... YUM! Flavor explosion!
My kids ate all of theirs ... although my son left most of his rice on his plate (I served his and his twin sisters meals with the rice and stir fry separate). My carnivorous hubbyman ate seconds and I think he snuck in thirds when I was distracted.Hello you beautiful broccoli. You, too, Mr. Carrot.
Simple foods. Quickly prepared. Lots of flavor. Oh yeah, the perfect bite. Added bonus ... gluten free all the way, baby!
Stay tuned ... up coming post to include our version of a gingerbread house ... only this house is made from rice krispy treats! Gluten free, baby!

Boy this looks delicious! I do the same thing - when I have been eating far too many carbs and sugars and totally unbalanced, my body lets me know so I start craving certain foods like salads and veggies. I have been known to eat a full plate of nothin' but veggies for that very reason!

Yes, I crave foods all the time. And I won't cook a meal without veggies. I love a salad, but in particular now that it's cold, I just don't want to trot off to buy the fixins! I always have apples, oranges and canned fruit at my disposal for that reason...This stir fry looks really pretty. I love bright green broccoli!

I do have body signals for tons of stuff, including veggie deficiency :P Or maybe it's the guilt building up?! On that note, I think I need to get stir-frying myself! Or maybe it's the picture calling to me ;)

- Lo said...
Oh, yeah. I know what you mean about cravings. We don't eat much meat, but occasionally I'll even get a craving for beef. I've always attributed it to low iron!! :)
Around the end of winter, I also start craving salads pretty hard-core!
This looks like the perfect way to get in some glorious veg!

A strong hurricane hit New England on September 21, 1938, causing widespread damage to buildings, cars, utility poles and forests. The hurricane did not have an official name like the ones today do, because before 1950, storms were not named. However, it was often called "The Long Island Express." The eye of this storm traveled up the Connecticut River, and the winds and rain caused an incredible amount of damage. There had been heavy rains several days before the hurricane hit, and with the additional rain from the hurricane, most of the area received ten to seventeen inches of water in a very short period of time. The town of Ware, Massachusetts, was especially hard hit. Flood waters in Ware reached a height of 18.2 feet after the hurricane. The flood waters washed down Main Street, and when they receded, all that was left was a deep gully with sewer pipes showing in the bottom. The town was stranded for days, with no one able to get in or out. Loaves of bread, medicine and vaccines had to be dropped from airplanes. It is estimated that the damage was $916,000 for the town which had a population of 8,000.

Show off your style at the beach in the Maidenform Beach womens swimwear fashions. Each fashion is constructed from the best selling Maidenform bras. Maidenform bras are known for their fashionable styling with many push-up and demi cup products in all types and sizes. Maidenform Beach offers swim tops, tankini swim tops, one piece swimsuits, 2-piece swimsuits and swim bottoms.
Maidenform began in the 1920s by Ida and William Rosenthal and Enid Bissett. These founders revolutionized women's lingerie. They constructed some of the first great bra styles that we still wear today. At that time it was simply two distinct cups separated by an elastic center piece. The name, Maidenform, came from this shape. Maidenform became a household name with their advertising. Risque for the time in the 1950s and 1960s, a partially dressed person wearing only their skivvies would say, "I dreamed I … (insert) in my Maidenform bra." Now can you dream of being sexy and laying poolside in your Maidenform styles. Maidenform Beach is a branch off of this great design showcasing women's swimwear in the best light. Many styles slim and shape you for a flattering silhouette, or have shirring for a beautiful fit.
A HerRoom customer favorite collection of Maidenform, the Custom Lift collection, gives women their own lift. The Maidenform Beach Custom Lift swimwear offers different cups with different lifts. Lift is customized by cup size. B cup is light lift; C cup has moderate lift; D cup has gentle lift. The Lift and Support fashions offer side slings for shape and support with molded cups. Not all swim tops have padding, some have molded, underwire cups for shape and support. The swim bottoms are soft and many have lining for modesty. You will never be bored with the selection by Maidenform Beach. There are many different colors, prints and patterns for you to find the one you love. Different cuts and styles also allow you to mix and match within each collection.
One customer who bought a Maidenform Beach tankini swim top commented, "This tankini top is beautiful. It fits well, is flattering, and makes me feel very pretty. It has more support than most tankinis." A customer who bought one of the adjustable side swim bottoms said, "I like Maidenform in underwear and such, first time I buy it in swimwear, the material is great and it's overall a good buy."
Maidenform Beach fashions bring you the support you need with the high fashion you love. You can always find a customized fit just for you with a beautiful pattern. Shine in the sun with Maidenform Beach fashions. Maidenform Beach is for women of all ages, shapes and sizes who love to look great in swimwear and be comfortable at the same time.

Let $k$ be a field, and let $T$ an $n$-dimensional split torus over $k$. Let $X$ be a $k$-scheme with algebraic $T$-action. Solve for X:
$$X / T \cong \mathbf{P}^1_k$$
(The quotient should be a categorical quotient in the category of $k$-schemes. A categorical quotient is a morphism $\pi : X \to X/T$ which is universal among morphisms which are constant on $T$-orbits.)
For example, $X = \mathbf{P}^1_k \times T$ with $T$ acting by right multiplication on the right factor is a trivial solution. More generally, I expect to find such $X$ among $(n+1)$-dimensional toric varieties.
Would someone explain how nasty this question actually is and what restrictions could be made:
- on the field $k$ or
- on the scheme $X$ or
- on the quotient morphism $\pi : X \to X/T$ or
- on the action morphism $\gamma : X \times T \to X$ or
- on the category in which the quotient is taken or
- on the "goodness" of the categorical quotient
in order to have a simple classification of the solutions? In other words, the solution to this problem will be itself a problem, a possibly modified version of the above admitting a simple solution. This might be a complex question (or not!), in which case a partial answer would still be interesting.

Dorrietpowell needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 151 designs submitted by 53 freelance designers.
We are a lifestyle concept brand. A company that develops and promotes products with smart design and an eye toward sustainability. We include fine art, furnishings, clothing, jewelry and accessories.
Our target audience includes a wide range of buyers. All of them are interested in a healthy, stylish, environmentally and socially conscious lifestyle. Our target audience tends to be progressive and well educated.
We have been using a very simple logo for letterhead and cards. I am attaching it. We really like that font but want to expand and also have some type of mark. We are also open to something entirely different if you have any fantastic ideas. We would like to steer clear of any "cliche" overused ideas of "green" ie: a majority of "green" companies seem to have a leaf in the logo. We would like a simple, modern look. We are also open to using the tag line "for the sustainable modernist" For the mark we were playing with the idea of sustainability being self-regenerating like a kundalini snake or the infinity circle. This might be a start.
We will be using the logo for letterhead, cards, tags, advertising material etc...
We do not want any clip art. We would like it to be scalable. Thanks so much!

Home About Volunteering
Local health, safety and preparedness begins with you
You've worked hard in your career to master a variety of skills – in medicine, public health, safety, logistics, communications or a number of other areas. Volunteering with the Medical Reserve Corps is a simple and effective way to use and improve those skills, while helping to keep your family, friends and neighbors safe and healthy. For example, you may put those skills to use during an emergency, or while providing some services for the most vulnerable members of your community.
Volunteering can give the great satisfaction of helping others. For many individuals, volunteering gives them a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. It helps to broaden their social networks, and that can have many positive effects. Volunteering provides opportunities for social interactions with fellow volunteers while supporting an important activity in the community. Interacting with others with a common interest is also a great way to create new relationships.
Volunteering can also have a significant effect on your own health. Research presented by the Corporation for National and Community Service shows a strong relationship between volunteering and health: those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer. See The Health Benefits of Volunteering: A Review of Recent Research for more information (http://www.nationalservice.gov/about/volunteering/benefits.asp).
Imagine a community – or a nation – in which everyone volunteered. Everyone would expand their skills and knowledge. Everyone would be healthier. And everyone would have a more meaningful life. This is a future we all can work towards.
MRC volunteers train - individually and with other members of the unit - in order to improve their skills, knowledge and abilities. Sometimes the training is coursework, and other times it is part of a drill or exercise conducted with partner organizations in the community. Continuing education units and credits are even available for some programs.
Many MRC volunteers assist with activities to improve public health in their community – increasing health literacy, supporting prevention efforts and eliminating health disparities.
In an emergency, local resources get called upon first, sometimes with little or no warning. As a member of an MRC unit, you can be part of an organized and trained team. You will be ready and able to bolster local emergency planning and response capabilities.
The specific role that you will play, and the activities in which you will participate, will depend upon your background, interests and skills, as well as the needs of the MRC unit and the community.
Every MRC unit is led by a local MRC Unit Coordinator, who matches local volunteer capabilities and schedules with local needs for both emergency responses and public health initiatives.
Many MRC members are just like you – nurses, doctors, pharmacists, therapists, public health officials and other community members who believe in keeping your local area healthy, prepared and resilient. They share your commitment to helping others and making a difference.
You may also work closely with staff members from the local health department, emergency management agency, hospital or other organizations that partner with the MRC. In fact, the services that you provide may help these other organizations to meet their mission.
View our MRC volunteer flyers (Full Page PDF - 1.43 MB) and (Half Page PDF - 1.46 MB) for information on how to connect with your local MRC.
It's up to you. Join your local Medical Reserve Corps unit and be an active member. Visit Medical Reserve Corps to learn more.

The fan who slid down a handrail and fell into the crowd at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday has been banned from attending future Buffalo Bills games.
"The irresponsible behavior that occurred at yesterday's game by the fan who fell from the upper deck is a violation of our Fan Code of Conduct and cannot, and will not, be tolerated," Bills' President and CEO Russ Brandon said in a statement issued on Monday afternoon.
"This individual will not be permitted back into Ralph Wilson Stadium. The vast majority of our fans who attend Bills home games at Ralph Wilson Stadium do so in a responsible manner and we continue to work diligently to eliminate those individuals who violate our Fan Code of Conduct from game days at our stadium. We are cooperating with the Erie County Sheriff's Office during their investigation of this incident and we want to extend our best wishes for a speedy recovery to the fan who was injured in the 200 level."
Jeff Savidge, a season ticket holder, had a bird's-eye view when the fan fell from the third deck and landed on another man at the start of the second quarter of the Bills' 37-14 win over the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon.
Savidge said he was looking around and talking with other spectators when a man slid down a handrail and flipped backward, falling about 30 feet onto another fan. Savidge said he saw the falling spectator out of the corner of his eye as he crashed into the other fan's neck and flipped again, landing a couple of rows in front of him.
Bills Fan Falls from Upper Deck of Ralph Wilson Stadium WGRZ-TV
"It was kind of crazy," Savidge said. "The fact that he fell on that other guy kind of cushioned him."
Savidge said members of the Erie County Sheriff's Department, stadium security and other fans came to the aid of the injured spectators immediately.
"Everyone did a great job of just making sure everyone was all right," Savidge said.
Savidge said the man who fell took a moment to regroup and did not seem seriously injured.
"He kind of sat right up, took a minute to get his bearings and said 'I'm OK, I'm OK,' " Savidge said.
The spectator who the man landed on seemed to be more seriously injured, Savidge said. A statement from the Bills on Sunday said both were taken to a hospital. WGRZ-TV in Buffalo reported that both injured fans were treated and have been released from Erie County Medical Center.
Savidge said the scene was a bit chaotic at first.
"People were kind of confused at first, trying to see where the heck he came from," he said.
Savidge saw a video of the incident on Facebook when he returned home after the game.
"I couldn't believe that anybody would want to do that," he said.
Erie County sheriff's spokeswoman Mary Murray told the Associated Press that the incident is under investigation and charges may be filed.
Murray also said both injured spectators were from the Buffalo area.
Savidge said the Bills offered some spectators in the area a chance to watch the remainder of the game in a suite. Some accepted, some declined and some went for a while before returning to their original seats, he said.

Certain things in life are made for each other. You have the essential match of wine and cheese. You have your peanut butter and jelly; you have your peanut butter and chocolate. Words and guitar, Bogey and Bacall, Senna and Monaco: harmony is a wonderful thing.
There's probably science that shows why certain things complement each other — the softness of milk and the dry crunch of a good cookie — but sometimes things just match by accident. A young Keith Richards is curious about the records that the kid with the big lips is carrying. The small-block Chevy was never designed to be a race engine. We have happy accidents, things that just work. Which is the sort of thing that makes life full of continuing surprises.
And then there's the continuing surprises of doing it the other way, as Irving Washington considers in his pitch for an inverted reality that follows a school bus through a tornado:
A quiet farm road in Kansas. We hear children singing 'The Wheels on the Bus (Go 'Round and 'Round).' [check on rights!] The sky darkens as we hear a loud thunder effect.
Cut to in-bus camera. Frightened children exiting in an orderly way.
Angel Perry [thinking Alison Brie here; ask her to wash a bus]: Good. Children, stay in line. Don't shove. we're all getting off the bus together. Remember, everyone, stay together.
Gantry shot of children moving toward shelter pulling back to reveal tornado is meters away from bus. Cut back to in-bus cam as interior pieces begin to fly. Back to exterior as bus is hurled into nearby building and explodes in a massive fireball. Reaction shot of bus driver's face as her hair is blown back. Cut to landscape shot post-storm. Damage everywhere but sun is emerging.
Angel Perry: Everyone find your buddy. I'm calling roll. Karl?
Karl: Here.
Angel Perry: Jimmy?
Jimmy: Here.
Angel Perry: Dorothy? ... Dorothy? ... Has anyone seen Dorothy?
Cut to CGI pan over dystopian battlefield in a grim alternate universe. Two armies square off in a barren field beneath a red sky. A golden path divides them.
Narrator: Two great armies face each other.
One group is small, dwarf-like figures with simple weapons. The other is flying monkeys and disgusting ground monsters led by a woman in dark clothes and a large conical hat. The armies are silent before battle.
Narrator: In the final battle for control of their universe and ours. And also the gold standard.
The silence is broken as they all look skyward to see a flaming school bus plummeting from the sky. Loud guitar [see if Brian May's available]. The dark woman [try for Glenn Close; how old is she now?] is crushed by the falling bus, and her army withdraws startled. The small people rush into the burning bus to retrieve the unconscious body of a young girl in a blue gingham tactical jumpsuit with a utility belt and red hip-boots. A huge rottweiler comes bounding out of the bus. Cut to close up of collar tag "Toto." Cut to Dorothy [Amber Heard? someone action figurey] regaining consciousness.
Dorothy (puts on sunglasses, picks up futuristic rifle): I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
Cut to montage of scenes: Dorothy riding a giant, armored lion-type creature, accompanied by a steam-punk looking robot [Transformers cross over in 2017?], and the goriest, most frightening scarecrow ever. [Children will laugh at Batman after seeing this scarecrow] Cresting a hill to look upon a green city. Cut to an epic flying monkey dogfight inside a tornado. Cut to giant, floating head of a wizard. Really loud guitar. Something explodes [working on it; doesn't matter what for the preview].
Narrator: This summer, there's no place like home.
The Wizard of Oz II: Monkeystorm. A film by Michael Bay.
Have a good weekend, folks.

- Description
Original manufacturers bushes are made from a rubber compound containing natural products which deteriorate with age. It becomes softer and more pliable, resisting the forces placed on it over time. This allows more movement of suspension components and offers less control over the suspension geometry. The knock on effect is accelerated tyre wear, braking instability and poor handling. This is the single biggest reason you can instantly tell the difference driving a three year old car compared to a showroom new one.
Dispite this, even new cars will benefit from Powerflex bushes. Their superior design offers much more effective control of the suspension components to a greater extent than normal rubber items. With the technological advances in this material it has been possible to overcome the problem of increased noise from a harder bush. By correctly engineering the polyurethane compound, bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than new rubber items but with exactly the same noise absorbing properties. Powerflex now back up the quality of their product with a lifetime warranty (restricted to original purchaser, excludes Black Series). ALL BUSHES ARE PRICED IN CAR SETS.Application:
