Mutiny Bay
This Priority Area encompasses a portion of the Mutiny Bay watershed. Protection is a priority because of the mature forest stands and the importance of stream headwaters and wetlands. More>>
Trillium Community Forest
Nearby – Smugglers Cove TLT and Wilbert Trail
Monroe Landing Farmland
The farmland northeast of Penn Cove is well suited for farming due to its prime agricultural soils and agricultural soils of state importance. The southern edge of the Priority Area includes Blower's Bluff, where Peregrine Falcons and Pigeon Guillemot nest. More>>
Monroe Landing TLT
Scenic Heights TLT
Nearby – Del Fairfax Preserve and Morgan Tidelands
Located in the upper reaches of the The Maxwelton Watershed is the largest watershed on Whidbey Island and is one of the most critical as it drains into Maxwelton Creek, one of only two salmon-spawning streams on Whidbey Island. More>>
Maxwelton Valley TLT
Maxwelton Wetlands Preserve
Nearby – Whidbey Institute CE and Zimmerman CE
Livingston Bay
The Livingston Bay Priority Area covers the western half of Port Susan Bay from the Camano shoreline to the Snohomish County line. It also includes diked agricultural land and forested uplands. This area is a federally-recognized important bird area as it is a critical stopover point for shorebirds and waterfowl migrating along the Pacific Flyway. More>>
Kristoferson Creek
Kristoferson Creek is currently the only salmon-bearing stream on Camano Island. This Priority Area includes a large working farm, a freshwater pond, extensive stream and riparian areas and Triangle Cove, a large estuarine ecosystem. More>>
The area provides significant benefits to wildlife and provides public recreational opportunities. Within the Priority Area are public walking trails, public beach access, forest land, and open pastures. Additional land protection would add critical forest buffer to Island County's ownership. More>>
Glendale Creek
Glendale Creek is one of two salmon-spawning streams on Whidbey Island. Because of its importance to salmon and other wildlife species, protecting the riparian area is crucial to the health of the creek and quality of salmon habitat. The headwaters of the creek are within the Priority Area and include a large wetland complex. More>>
Located north of Freeland, this Priority Area is a mosaic of forest, farmland, and wetlands. Of particular significance is a sphagnum bog – a rare wetland type. More>>
English Boom
Located along the Pacific Flyway, this Priority Area provides critical habitat for fish, birds, and other wildlife. Along the shoreline, eelgrass beds provide habitat for forage fish, which in turn provide food for salmonid species migrating from the nearby Skagit and Stillaguamish Rivers as well as herons from the adjacent Davis Slough Heronry (65 acres protected by the Land Trust). More>>
Nearby – Davis Slough CE and Davis Slough Heronry
Elger Bay
Protecting land within this Priority Area would provide opportunities to restore estuary habitat and maintain current forest and shoreline conditions. The area is near Cama Beach State Park, Camano State Park, and Elger Bay County Park. More>>
Nearby – Holton CE
Ebey's Reserve Farmland
Farms in this Priority Area have been cultivated for over 150 years; most have prime soils and are designated as farmlands of statewide significance. Farmland protection provides for current and future local food production. More>>
Krueger Farm CE
David Engle CE
Engle-Brown CE
Moon CE
Kahn CE
Borden CE
Purdue CE
Harvey CE
Nearby – Heath CE
Dugualla Bay
The east side of this Priority Area is one of highest ranked areas for potential salmon recovery in Island County in part because its tidelands and eelgrass beds are important feeding grounds for juvenile salmon migrating from the Skagit Delta. More>>
Double Bluff
Includes feeder bluffs, forests, and freshwater wetlands, streams and lake. There are also small pockets of farmland. Excellent opportunities for low-impact trails to connect to protected areas, including Deer Lagoon, Double Bluff Beach, and the Wahl Road Forest, all owned by Island County. More>>
Cultus Bay
Located in the lower part of the Cultus Bay watershed, this Priority Area includes large forest and estuarine wetland tracts, waterbird habitat, potential salmon habitat, feeder bluffs, and eelgrass beds. More>>
Crockett Lake
Includes several habitat types, including the lake itself, surrounding freshwater and estuarine wetlands, and mature riparian forest as well as two prairie remnants, coastal bluffs and an old-growth forest in the adjacent uplands. This area is an Audubon Important Bird Area. More>>

Frequently Asked Questions / Cancer Treatment Options / Radiation Therapy
Last Modified: April 24, 2003
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Can you tell me please if it is unusual for radiation to the rectal/lower abdomen area to cause vaginal stenosis?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Most women getting radiation to the pelvis develop vaginal drying as a side effect of the radiation treatment. This problem is common and managed by the radiation oncologist. It can potentially lead to vaginal stenosis in some patients (stricture of the vagina). At the end of radiation to the pelvic area, woman are typically given a vaginal dilator that is inserted into the vagina for a few minutes daily to separate the tissue surfaces. This is done to prevent scarring that can contribute to vaginal stenosis. This may be done indefinitely. Also, in younger women (under 50) we usually recommend hormonal replacement, except in endometrial cancer or breast cancer patients and this will reduce the severity of the problem. A woman who is sexually active and has intercourse at least 3 times/week can usually avoid using the dilator.

I voted and am a little concerned. The Sharpie pen bled through the paper and was very visible on the other side. Did anyone else have this happen or know if the machine will be able to accurately read my vote? A family member's ballot (from another city) was rejected today because of the bleed through. She was told it would have to be hand counted (I didn't know this prior to voting).
9:56 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
i noticed the same thing and was also concerned about the bleed through.
9:37 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
I had the same thing happen as Maria. It probably doesn't matter because the bleed through from one side is nowhere near the other side's bubbles. The rejected ballot sounds fishy; don't you get a fresh ballot if you spoil your first one? Sounds like the poll worker was badly trained...or worse
Brian Gentry
11:12 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
I had the same thing happen AND the same concern regarding the sharpie. I had voted in RI before and they use the same type of ballot. The marker was not a Sharpie there and did not bleed through.

Suspect in 1996 murder of Kirkland woman extradited to King County
By CARRIE RODRIGUEZ
Kirkland Reporter Editor
February 8, 2013 · 11:56 AM
A Montana man charged in the 1996 cold case murder of a Kirkland woman was extradited to King County on Wednesday.
Clifford Everell Reed, 59, faces second-degree murder charges for allegedly killing Sandi Rae Johnson on April 26, 1996.
Reed, who was the woman's co-worker during her disappearance, was booked into King County Jail Wednesday on $5 million bail.
Johnson was reported missing in 1996 and her body was found eight years later near Highway 410.
Reed left Washington shortly after the woman was reported missing, according to court documents. Detectives conducted multiple interviews throughout the investigation and Reed's friends revealed his alleged infatuation with the woman.
Detectives with the King County Sheriff's Office arrested him at his Victor, Mont. home in early December.
Reed's arraignment is set for Feb. 14 at King County Court.

Approximately 58 percent of single women over the age of 45 who have any kind of savings or retirement
account have less than $50,000 saved, while only 22 percent have more than $100,000 saved. At the same time, these women are aware of their need to step up their savings efforts, as only 5 percent of 45-54-year-old women and 16 percent of 55-64-year-old women believe they are saving enough for their twilight years.
"Women nearing retirement age believe saving for retirement is very important, and women aged 25-44 are the most likely to rate saving for retirement as their top financial goal over the next year," said Mintel vice president and behavioral economist Susan Menke in a statement. "While it may be too late for older women, research suggests that younger women are starting to save early and may not end up in the same predicament."
Thirty-six percent of women who aren't retired yet say they plan to keep working at least part-time during retirement because they expect they will need the income. That number increases to 50 percent for women who are 55 to 64 years old. Lack of retirement planning is evident in that only 13 percent of women who aren't retired say they have determined the age at which they will be able to do so.

I have read it, it is not in front of me, the biggest thing I got out of the article was additional confirmation of what I've heard that gain numbers on weave screens are inflated. I think the reviewer ended up with about .7. Don't quote me on that because I don't have the article in front of me and I'm kind of incredulous the article didn't create more discussion in this thread at this point, unless people just haven't gotten it yet.
I'm trying to go 13'-14' wide, and AT is pretty much set in stone, so I'm very concerned about "misleading" (no offense Chris, I understand the rationale) specs. I don't think there is a good value projector at my screen size that will light up a weave. You are giving up a heck of a lot of tech to go used also. I think there will be something right around the corner that will fit the bill at the price I want to pay that will be significantly less expensive than viable options right now. I don't want to screw up, but I don't want to wait indefinitely either.
Reading that article sure makes it even more interesting that a certain manufacturer (not SeymourAV) practically refuses to send samples out.

SS10 Range: Sneak Peek NO. 3
Our take on a classic piece, the Merino Polo reinvents the notion of city riding, and with it adds a beautiful embellishment. Sneek Peek No. 3 also does the trick by utilizing the same fabric as our most popular item - the Merino Baselayer. While a slight bit thicker than the undershirts the comfortable styling makes the perfect pairing of the two ideas and a little storage enhances the functionality.

The general concepts of wallyball are very similar to indoor volleyball. Featured in a racquetball or squash court, Wallyball provides the element of surprise as an ordinary volley can go a whole new direction with spiking the ball off the walls in many directions. Good Wallyball players use this as a key strategy to confuse and distract opponents. The result can be devastating. Wallyball is not just volleyball played in a racquetball court. It is a separate sport with separate rules, and play …
Meetup details are available only to members.
The purpose of this meetup group is to get experienced, intermediate (i.e., some BB, some B, some C) co-ed volleyball players together to play competitive pick up volleyball (often 3's or 4's, sometimes 2's or 6's). This group is not intended for beginner / recreational players. The players should be at an intermediate level (thus the group name), so the play should be competitive (but not necessarily always at an "advanced" level). Please read the "About Us" page for more details. In short, you …
This meetup is for getting people together to play wallyball. Wallyball is a fun, fast-paced game similar to volleyball, but played inside of a racquetball court. The ball can hit one wall before going over the net, which makes for many interesting and challenging opportunities. There are some shots, cleverly placed, that are very frustrating, if not impossible to return. On other plays, you may feel like you could have / should have gotten to the ball if you had just hustled a bit more. As you …
I am starting this group for adults looking to get out, meet new people and have fun in a really casual environment.

Yes, I would recommend this business to a friend!
We loved the Cordaids! The product is easy to use and effective. It takes only a few seconds to install one and the blind cords are well out of reach of kids.The other advantages are that the Cordaids look good as they blend in with the blinds and they are much cheaper than other products which are unsightly and more than twice the price! Overall we were very impressed!

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Monday the airport lines this weekend were just the tip of the iceberg.
"We will see these effects cascade over the next week," she said.
"I don't mean to scare, I mean to inform. If you're traveling, get to the airport earlier than you otherwise would. There's only so much we can do with personnel," Napolitano said. "And please, don't yell at the customs officers or the TSA officers. They're not responsible for sequester."
Napolitano said she expects wait times to double in some cases, if the cuts continue for the next several months.
"There's very little we can do to mitigate it because the procedures we use to clear passengers and cargo, they're responsible I think for the fact that we have a very safe aviation system and we have a very good land migration system where we know who's coming into the country," she said.
"So, we're not going to cut back on those security needs so the end result is fewer people doing the same thing means lines are going to get longer."
The TSA said a hiring freeze will take effect in April. That will result in an additional 1,000 screener vacancies by Memorial Day weekend and up to 2,600 vacancies by September 30, the end of the fiscal year. The TSA has approximately 50,000 screeners.
"With TSA staffing levels decreasing over time, we expect that during busy travel periods wait times exceeding 30-40 minutes could double at nearly all of the largest airports," the TSA said in a statement.
"In addition, passengers who schedule their travel outside of peak flight schedules and plan to arrive close to their scheduled flight time may see their wait times reach 30 minutes or more," the TSA said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday that there were "no immediate impacts" from spending cuts. But it has predicted flight delays when it begins furloughs -- one third of whom are air traffic controllers.

Thoughts on Attending Inauguration
6 comments:
I live in Northern VA and work and go to school in DC, so there's been a ton of discussion around here. Most area school districts are closing for the day, and the parade planners have decided to remove an entire section of bleachers to make more room for standing spectators. All that aside, there are something like 234,000 tickets to the inaugeration, and the word is most of them have been spoken for for the last year or more (they're free, but you have to contact your local congressman to get them).
The whole ticket issue aside, it's going to be INSANE. A lot of people I know are putting up friends and relatives for the event, and absolutely every single DC hotel room is spoken for at this point. You could stay in the metro area, No. VA or So. MD and Metro in, but word is the Metro will be unmanageable.
I admire your determination, but personally, I'll be at home watching the proceedings on TV!

dear friends,

be well, be love.
time of the sixth sun is a multi-platform film project about the awakening and transformation of global consciousness. it is a witnessing of these times through the eyes of the world's wisdom keepers as we approach the year 2012.
in time of the sixth sun, our protagonist guides us on a journey of awakening into a long prophesized new age. civilizations throughout the ages have indicated through ancient calendars and visions that 2012 will be a pinnacle time in the evolution of mankind. in the west, many are noticing an increase in life's synchronicities and are experiencing time as speeding up. scientists accept that global warming is a reality but how are these changes affecting our internal world? increasingly the world is seeking answers and the clock is ticking...

Nzonzi left out of Rovers' Austrian training camp
11:00pm Monday 9th July 2012 in Sport
STEVEN Nzonzi has been left out of Blackburn Rovers' pre-season training camp in Austria as the midfielder seeks an Ewood Park exit.
The 23-year-old Frenchman's representatives have informed the club he wants to leave after last season's Premier League relegation, leaving the club freezing him out of first team affairs until the issue is sorted.
The Lancashire Telegraph understands Rovers won't stand in the player's way but sources close to the club say they value Nzonzi at in the region of £10million.
Rovers won't allow the player to leave 'on the cheap' but are believed to be ready to keep Nzonzi away from the Championship prep-arations as his future gets sorted.
Nzonzi has been linked with potential moves to Arsenal, Stoke City, Spartak Moscow, Villarreal and Borussia Dort-mund over the past 12 months.
Rovers have yet to receive any formal bid for him though and are prepared to make Nzonzi train with the reserves until he is ready to pledge his commitment to the club.
It is understood the club have been informed by Nzonzi's repres-entatives that he does not want to play outside the top flight.
Nzonzi signed for Rovers from French second division side Amiens for in the region of £500,000 back in June 2009.
He signed a bumper new five-year deal the following year after an impressive debut season alerted some of the Premier League's top side to his potential.
Nzonzi finished last season on the substitutes bench though, amid rumours of training ground bust ups, with Rovers keen to avoid the risk of any unsettling influences being around the squad.
The presence of the want-away Chris Samba last season did Rovers few favours, with sources close to the club saying Nzonzi has been left training at Brockhall on his own to avoid similar problems.
Rovers' Swedish international Martin Olsson has also not travelled to Austria but he has been granted more time off, having played in last month's European Championships.
Olsson's agent insisted before Euro 2012 that staying at Rovers was "not an option" for the left sided player but no further talks are understood to have been held over his future.
Rovers meanwhile are also keen to keep hold of Gael Givet next season, despite the player understood to be wanting to renegotiate a 'relegation clause' in his contract.
Talks continue with Sporting Lisbon over midfielder Adrien Silva as Rovers look to make him their fifth summer signing.

I have the MV3500A that was orig inst in my 2003 MH. I recently inst Dish network at home and am now trying to get it to work in the MH using a VIP211K. I usually have no problem finding both 119 & 110, I can get a program guide most of the time and even a really good picture. The problem is I can't keep the picture, meaning it keeps dropping out or losing the signal as if something is passing in front of the dish. It does this at least every 1-2 minutes. Sometimes the picture just freezes then returns, sometimes it is an error code that gets diplayed then it returns to the picture. The codes are different but usually 122 or 15. My satellite signals are usually 40 or better and even when up in the 60's I still have the same problem. It does not matter how many times I move to different locations, the problem remains. I have tried calling Dish and talking with others with no solution. This is my first experience with satellite tv but I know it shouldn't be this difficult. Are there any adjustments or tests that I can do to check the dish operation or narrow down the problem?
One other thing I did notice is that the receiver does not use cable going to the Tv, it is using RCA jacks, would this cause a problem?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi everyone! Boy do I have some fun for you all in the next few days. I have a sneak peek at the guest bathroom makeover, progress pics of our master bathroom makeover, some fun reviews and recipes.
But today, I have something for YOU. Yes, you. I am lucky to be part of the Latina & Latino Lifestyle Bloggers collective, and am part of their Johnson & Johnson campaign. I do reviews often, but this one is fun because I get to giveaway the identical products that I'll be reviewing. This is the first giveaway during the 4-month campaign, and here's what one lucky winner will be receiving!
Every single product listed above + some others not shown, for a total value of $100.
Super easy to enter using the Rafflecopter widget below. Good luck, tell your friends, and I'll be back with more posts featuring their fabulous items from now until November.
I've used a few of these products already, so I'm going to give you a quick reviews that might help you out if you're on the fence about these products:
Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer: I love that it's unscented and has SPF 30. I put this on over my primer but under my foundation and it doesn't make my face oily. I don't know if I feel radiant per se, but over time I hope this will help my uneven skin tine. I give it an 8/10
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion: LOVE THIS STUFF! My feet get so dry because I have an awful habit of wearing flats without dress socks. Then my feet get dry and sweaty and then itchy…this lotion helps soothe my tootsies. This item gets a 10/10
Aveeno Nourish + Moisturize Shampoo/Conditioner: I didn't feel this worked as well as what I normally use, and I also miss having something in my hair that smells nice. Aveeno stuff is natural, so there's no extra scents and such that could possibly be irritating to the skin, but I would have liked for it to be a bit more scented. I give this 6/10.
Band-Aid Tough Strips: Great for breaking in shoes! I had wicked blisters on my ankle area from some new loafers I bought, and these band-aids stayed on all day without rubbing off due to sweat. 10/10 for SURE.
Listerine Mouth Wash: It's fabulous, used it for years. I love the burning feeling (it's not like painful or anything) that I get when using this product. My mouth feels sparkling and clean. Aaah. :) 10/10.
Have a fantastic weekend! I will stop taking entries on August 5th and announce the winner soon after.

Vermonters know that spring has arrived when sugaring season starts. Warm days and cold nights mean that maple sap is running, and that means that sugar makers are hard at work. But they're not so busy that they don't want to stop to celebrate!
Vermont maple producers invite you to join them at their sugar houses on March 24 and 25 to sample not only new syrup, but other great ways to get your sweet fix. Activities will be different at each sugar house. Weather permitting you can see first-hand how maple sap is collected and boiled down to make syrup. Some sugar makers offer horse-drawn wagon tours of their sugar bush and some have special activities for children. Others offer maple donuts, pancakes and syrup , maple candies or taffy-like "sugar on snow."
Because no two sugar houses are the same, it's fun to visit more than one.
In many locations sugaring started early this year, but with the normal fluctuations in weather, the season may be as long as it normally is. Experienced sugar makers in low lying areas weren't worried about lack of snow, and sure enough, they were right. Trees are once again producing different grades of sap as the season progresses, with light, fancy grade syrup being produced early, and the darker, more sugar-dense grades being produced through late March.
Vermont has approximately 2000 maple syrup producers and is the largest U.S. producer of maple syrup – with 890,000 gallons of syrup produced in 2010. Vermont maple syrup is 100% natural and contains antioxidants, calcium and other beneficial minerals.
Find a participating sugar house near you. Learn more.
Maple in the news. Learn more.
Directions:(It's pretty complicated, so pay attention.) Boil syrup until it's almost "soft ball" stage -- 234 degrees Fahrenheit.(To test, drizzle boiling syrup into glass of water - if it's stringy, it's ready.) Gather up a bowl of fresh, clean snow. Drizzle syrup over snow. Enjoy with fork or fingers. Optional: Serve with sour pickle for Vermont style sweet & sour!

Black Bean Soup
A nasty, nose running, head achy, lethargic, yucky, nasty cold......
Chris has been suffering with a cold for the last week and luckily I caught it(sarcasm!!)
I have no appetite, yet I am hungry. I have no will to move, yet I move.....I am miserable!
Yesterday I laid on the couch all day and watched CSI reruns on TV.....LAME!
Today it is on to bill paying and picking up some groceries....
I am craving brothy things. Last night I threw together black bean soup and it was really good. I made some tortilla strips for the girls, and left mine plan, totally E2L approved
Black Bean soup
3 cups, black beans, soaked and cooked
2 cups fresh salsa
4 cups vegetable broth, homemade or canned
Fresh corn, shucked
3 tbls. Alicia's sour cream with chives added
black olives for garnish, sliced
avocado for garnish, diced
Cumin, black pepper, chili powder, sea salt to taste
Throw everything into a pot, except soup cream avocado or olives. Cook for about 45 minutes. Top each bowl with some sour cream and olives. Tortilla strips opt.
On a side note:
E2L is killing me...I am crabby and headachy, I feel nasty from detoxing and just generally in a funk...
I am proud of myself for making it 5 days without to many mishaps.. Next week I am hoping to be less crabby and more focused..I have literally been dreaming about pie and potato chips. I swear I almost ate 3 slices of cinnamon toast last night. Luckily a fever hit me, so no toast for me.....Is that weird to say luckily a fever hit me??? I though so too..
Well, I hope everyone's day is pleasant and fever free. I am looking forward to a leisurely weekend and some good food....(that I won't be eating) and spending time with family!!
Hope you have a nice memorial day~

I am so sorry you caught the cold Chris has been struggling with. I hope it passes quickly.
Nice looking soup! It looks perfect. :-)
The first couple of weeks on Eat to Live are tough. It really will get better. I feel so good now I can't imagine going back. But I also had the symptoms you describe at the beginning.
big hugs,

Hi Brandi,
I totally agree with Ali. Everyone feels awful at first on E2L and it's just too bad you got stuck with a cold as well. But if you stick with it it will get better, for sure.

Sorry to hear you are sick. :(
Yes detox is miserable.
The cravings do go away. :)
Your black bean soup looks sooo gooood!! I know it was delicious. :)
I hope you feel better, and enjoy your weekend. - May 28, 2010 at 9:35 AM

Just wanted to say well done on starting your new eating regime. Hope the the detox symptoms don't last too long.
I've mentioned before that I'm not vegan but your blog is inspiring me to be more mindful of what I put into my body.
2 weeks ago I stopped eating anything containing sugar, sugar substitutes and white flour. That's all I've done and I've lost 8lbs without trying! And I feel really really good.
Next stage is cutting out caffeine but I really like herbal teas anyway. Even DH drinks peppermint tea sometimes.
I showed DH your blog and he said 'Why is she a VICIOUS vegan?' Lol! - May 28, 2010 at 9:42 AM

Ahhh ... I hope you feel better soon ... there's not much worse than a spring/summer cold ... just miserable!
Your Black Bean Soup looks wonderful ... it's making my mouth water!
I've got to go and check out this E2L thing ... sounds fascinating ... and tough!
Hope you'll feel better soon and will be able to enjoy the weekend. - May 28, 2010 at 11:00 AM
- Teresa said...
I started E2L and BAM! Same illness as you describe!
Not grumpy or cranky, just head cold-like misery and fatigue.
Anyone else out there with the same experience?
At first, I thought it was allergies/hay fever - then a head cold - it has been going on for 10 days now. (Although I felt considerable "better" around the 4th day).
Years ago, I went on "The South Beach Diet" and I was sooooo crabby that people were throwing bread at me, begging me to eat!!
Hope you feel better soon.
That soup look DIVINE!

I am still struggling with the blah feeling, I haven't eaten much a "sandwich" of lettuce, tomato, "mayo" onion and garlic, it worked. For dinner tomato soup with some onion and raw broccoli salad....I have loaded myself with water..Thank you for the well wishes!! - May 28, 2010 at 8:32 PM

Mariann- I am banking on this working! It just has to work. I have suffered with my illness for so ling, this is my last resort... Wish me luck!

Naina- I am so glad you liked my soup! It was so darn good! I am going to make it often, as it is so simple and flavorful!
- May 28, 2010 at 8:34 PM
- VivaciousVegan said...
Allybea- I am proud of you that you got rid of the icky stuff, white flour and sugars are poison and it is amazing what will happen when we get rid of the toxins in body isn't it! I drink a ton of peppermint tea. I also drink organic jasmine tea, it is my absolute favorite and I drink a literal ton of it! Grren tea is excellent for you and if you want to switch it up sometimes get some raspberry, it is scrumptious!!!
Tell DH, I am vicious because I cannot eat my beloved bread anymore...lol - May 28, 2010 at 8:38 PM

Millie, I thought you might like this recipe!!! :)

Small footprints- Hi!
E2L is a phenomenal plan that really does change lives. If you would like more information and recipes go check out Alicia's blog @ veganepicurean.blogspot.com
All of her recipes are E2L approved and she knows more about the plan than Dr. Fuhrman I think..lol She helps me alot!!
I am glad you liked the soup! - May 28, 2010 at 8:40 PM
- VivaciousVegan said...
Teresa- Detox sucks and I hate it. I have detoxed before and it was so much worse than this, so I shouldn't be so grumbly, but then that wouldn't be much fun! You described detox perfectly! Isn;t funny how people will unwittingly tempt you with food to shut you up when you give something up? LOL
My family told me the last time detoxed that if I did not eat a piece of cheese, they would force feed it to me. I skipped the cheese, shut up and quit whining and became a vegan 10 years ago!!
I am so happy you like the soup!!! - May 28, 2010 at 8:44 PM

Looks delicious!
Peace :) - June 2, 2010 at 8:25 PM

1. | Serbia | ||
A loyal and brave country that is widely misunderstood as a bad guy for some strange reason. Not perfect, but certainly not evil. They have a rich culture and a very unique language, as well as very intellectual people (however, out of all those smart ones, it's usually the dumb ones that are placed in positions of power). Serbia consists of many people who's pride matters most, and they seldom (for a lack of better term) take shit from anyone, and even though sometimes they are no match, they still keep their ground. Serbia is a beautiful country, with beautiful women. However, it's currently going through a lot of crap, which is a damn shame. Kraljevic Marko is by far one of the most badass heroes ever!

You know ur Serbian when...
When you pack to go for serbia and out of the 4 suitcases you are carrying, only one of them is actually yours When 3 different strangers are waiting for you at the airport to collect their gifts that you are carrying with you When you tell people you are Serbian, they always ask... "So ... What is it like there now?" You live in the adult world but when you go home, you feel like your 9 years old all over again When you can actually pronounce the "g" in jagnje When you're at a soccer game and your tata is yelling "j**** ja" at the whole team and all the "amerikanci" know it can't be a good thing Your parents tell you that "gurlz" love guys that can dance a good kolo if your not married by the age of 20 your family wants to send you back home to find "a nice boy" You have more than 200 serbian movies, but you have never watched them You have a good husband if he works and doesn't beat you At your christening a silver dollar on your navel will protect you from evil and make you rich Baba says "palachinki" and everyone heads for the table When she is mad your mama tells you that she will send you back to where you came from When your tata does a running commentary through a movie and he thinks he knows everything that's going to happen even though he has never seen the movie There is always "pita" on the kitchen counter and multiple pita dough bundles in your freezer at all times After cooking Pita, you eat it for di... |
3. | Serbia | ||
One of the few non-collaborationist countries in the Balkans during World War II, offered stiff resistance to the Nazi's and paid a dear price for it. Serbia lost its moral high ground over its neighbors after the break up of Yugoslavia.
4. | serbia | ||
A country that has a great and proud people. Due to the horrible American propaganda and one-sided stories, the world has come to hate it. Serbs are usually very well educated and don't all live in the kinds of places portrayed by the media. Most of Serbia is very modern, filled with beautiful buildings, streets and parks. People who are against Serbia are (99% of the time) very ignorant and quite frankly not very bright. Remember, not everything you see on TV is true. Person A: "Man serbia is teh sux1!1!11! lolololol
Person B: "You're a dumbass" |
5. | serbia | ||
look guys whats all the hatin about man! serbian, bosnian, croat we're all the same shit! im serbian and proud of it but i dont discriminate others! i mean its just stupid how the people all hate each other cuz of politics. fuck politics man! we're all people and we all used to live in the same country once and now we dont but that shouldnt make us hate each other. serbia consists of mostly serbs but also bosnians and croats. serbia is a beautiful, full w/ fine babies and crazy country. biggest sport in serbia: basketball. a little corupt, yes, but lotsa love for serbia man. "wait which country won the most basketball championships in the world?"
"i believe it was serbia(yugoslavia)" "ok...but which country was the one w/ the horrible civil war?" "serbia(yugoslavia)" "and the crazy ass milosevic is serbian right?" "yeh thats correct" "and the women...?" "the women, my friend, are the highlight of serbia" |
6. | Serbia | ||
A country with good people, but asshole shitty politicians Serbia would be a great country if Milosevich didn't exist.
7. | serbia | ||
beautiful land w/ unfortunate political and social touble. Was Yugoslavia .. became Serbia & Montenegro .. who knows what new name will be.. But for sure has the most beautiful and fit women! .. Tall population.. need to stop conflicts w/ own nation and those surrounding Right between Greece and Italy is Serbia

Batgirl Costume Babydoll
Cape not included.
We're gonna guess you're Barbara Gordon underneath this shirt. Maybe you're Helena Bertinelli or Cassandra Cain. But we bet you're Gordon, because we know you. You already have some of Oracle's skill set. Or maybe *you're* the next Batgirl. We won't tell.
Read more...Cape not included.
In the past we've shied away from carrying superhero logo costume-style t-shirts. When you can find Green Lantern or the Flash on the racks at your local SuperChainMart, that's a product ThinkGeek doesn't need to pick up. And then we saw these. They're unique. We knew we had to carry them for our crowd of female comic book fans. They're not subtle, but they're also not over the top. These are costumey without being cosplay. Basically, depending on how you accessorize the shirt, you can play up or down its kitchiness.
Black, 100% cotton shirt with the logo on the chest and utility belt printed in yellow across the waist of the shirt. The back is blank. Note that this is longer in length than our standard babydolls. It comes down around your hips for the full costume-but-not-costume effect.
Note: Please reference the table below to choose your size.
Chest | 30 in. | 32 in. | 34 in. | 36 in. |
Waist | 28 in. | 30 in. | 32 in. | 34 in. |
Length | 24 in. | 25 in. | 26 in. | 27 in. |

Healing After The Loss Of A Child: There Are Roses Growing In My Soul
Perhaps, even more fitting that after we laid Matthew's hand-sized coffin in the ground, the blooms died and roses stopped appearing.
I liked the idea of a bare stick jutting out of the ground. I wanted it to remain bare and to hide its growth from sight for a year or two. I wanted that rose bush to mirror the way I felt, ugly and unproductive. Time was necessary, lots of time, for that bush to bloom and for me to start the process of healing, but God had other plans again. He often does. I'm not sure that my time of mourning has fully ended, but I understand that my roots are planted deeply in faith and God has the power to turn my sorrow into joy.
When we moved four years ago, I again planted some new rose bushes just beside our new, front porch and relocated a resident climbing rose bush to the Marian garden. Last year, having purchased two apple trees, I felt compelled to try a little harder and so I rummaged through the shed and found a container of plant food. Food in hand, I circled my way around the yard sprinkling here and there our azaleas, apple trees, and my rose bushes.
I'm not really sure why I have this affinity for rose bushes, but just the thought of them brings three beloved people to mind. My mother had some roses planted just across the driveway from the side door (the door we actually used to go in and out as opposed to the front door that only strangers entered through). Then there is the story of St. Therese, the Little Flower, dropping roses to those who ask for her intercession. A grammar school teacher first taught me about her and my college roommate renewed my interest in this dear saint years later. In fact, I offered a novena to the little saint in those hours after our first child, Dimitri, was born when the details of his illness began to unfold. And, of course, roses always evince a connection to my Blessed Mother.
Most of the time when I bring blooms in, I offer them to our Lady by placing the vase on our kitchen shrine.
This spring those rose bushes decided to reward my little efforts in so many more ways than I understood at first. Each in turn, the tall, thorny, green stalks began to produce tiny buds that erupted into beautiful flowers of yellow and then red.
The timing of this was something of a gift in and of itself. I began to spy the changes during the weeks surrounding the loss of my husband's job and the loss of our dear expected baby, who was still cradled in my womb.
That is when my secret, daily ritual started. Waking up each morning, I would walk through the house opening windows and doors before stepping out onto the front porch which I'd cross in order to peer over the railing to see what those bushes had in store for me that day. Simple and perhaps a bit silly, but those bushes filled me with an inexplicable hope and peace. The dilemma for me then was in deciding whether I wanted to cut those blooms and carry them inside to enjoy or allow them to remain on the stem, where their beauty might last a bit longer.
At the end of April when the roses first made their appearance, we had the privilege of being godparents to our friends' son. In thanksgiving for this blessing and that of our expected little one, I carried those first blooms to Our Lady of Czestochowa and placed them at her shrine in St. Joseph's Catholic Church. It was an easy offering on my behalf. Although I admit, I was humbled measuring my tiny bouquet against the two matching arrangements that decorated the table. To the eye, my gift looked unimpressive, but I knew that I hadn't retained a single blossom for myself. My satisfaction was derived in knowing that I gave everything I had.
During the next few weeks, our personal trials increased and so did my daily ritual. Then, one particular Thursday came. We'd discovered the baby's death some days before, but I was still clinging to the hope of a miracle. Knowing that Lazarus had been raised and so too had Jarius' daughter been woken from her eternal slumber, I was praying that death would not win again. Since my husband was home, we had the rare opportunity of attending Thursday morning Mass as a family.
As we rushed around preparing nine people to leave by 7:30am, I'd not had time for my peaceful ritual. But, the thought washed over me that I needed to bring today's blooms to my Mother. I headed out to quickly clip and plant today's bounty into a vase for transport when I was overcome by sadness and then anger.
There they were in all their splendor, five roses. Five, I counted them again, five.
In an instant, without a moment's hesitation, I realized there was one bloom for each of our five heavenly children. One for Dimitri, one for Mary, one for Simeon, one for Philomena and now one for Matthew, too, how could this be?
"No, no," I wanted to scream, "You can't have five from us. You have four already, you don't need this fifth soul."
I wanted to pretend it didn't mean anything, but I knew better. I wanted to leave those ...
