Social liberalism
The U.S. Democratic Party is one of the two biggest political parties in the United States. The other is the Republican Party. The U.S. also has several smaller political parties known as third parties. Supporters of this party are known as Democrats.
Every four years the party holds a National Convention where they agree on their candidate for President. The Democratic National Committee coordinates most of the activities of the Democratic Party in all 50 United States. There have been 15 Democratic presidents, the most recent being Barack Obama, who was President from 2009 to 2017. The Democratic Party represents a broad spectrum of leftist ideologies, including classic liberalism, social democracy, progressivism, and socialism.
Philosophy and role in government[change | change source]
Democrats, also sometimes called 'the left', 'liberals' or 'progressives' make up one of the two main political parties in the United States. A mostly Democratic state is sometimes called a 'blue state'. This comes from the party's main color, which is blue, referring to a state supporting 'blue' candidates.
Democrats believe in a strong government with social assistance programs to help members of society. They prefer diplomatic solutions to conflicts, and take a generally protectionist view on trade, believing that trade must be regulated to protect American workers.
Socially, most Democrats believe in social liberalism, taking pro-immigration, pro-gay marriage, and pro-choice views.
Democratic beliefs[change | change source]
Generally Democrats support:
- Progressive income tax, increasing overall tax income
- Higher corporate taxes and recapturing income from overseas profits
- Expanding spending on government programs
- Spending on business, education, infrastructure, clean-energy
- Expanding rights to Abortion
- Restrictions of weapons use and potentially dangerous users through government oversight
- Universal healthcare
- Regulating business and the economy
- Same-sex marriage
Most support for Democrats comes from states in the Northeast, Northwest and Pacific Coast areas of the USA, but there are Democrats elected to office in all other states too.
Symbols[change | change source]
The symbol of the Democratic Party is the Donkey. Since the election of 2000, the color blue has become a symbol for Democrats.[source?]

In the last post, Josie mentioned disappointing brunch food. Normally, brunch food comes in two categories: 1. Average and diner-esque 2. Delicious, but ridiculously overpriced. Breakfast food is so easy and simple to make so where is this nonsense added price coming from? Do restaurants think they can capitalize on serving a meal that mixes together 2 other meals? Who knows. What I do know is that when you look back on your childhood one of the first dishes you probably made was scrambled eggs. Cracking an egg for a child, and even for me now, is monumentally fun. It's cracking the shell into the world of cooking and the world of all life forms.
I don't know if it is because of my new idol, Ruth Reichl, or the reemergence of my Jewishness that seems to come back every few months but yesterday for dinner I wanted Matzah Brei. It is a simple dish that is basically the ingredients of plain scrambled eggs or an omelet with the addition of matzah crackers. This dish is most commonly a brunch food that makes a large showing during passover when leavened bread is not allowed. The truly interesting part of this dish is that it is a blank canvas and depending on what area your Jewish ancestors were from affects whether the dish is sweet or savory. You can either put salsa on it or applesauce and jam. It can either be scrambled or more like an omelet. Since becoming a devout Ruth Reichl convert, I used her simple recipe religiously and broke it into pieces like scrambled eggs. She may have been the LA and NY Times food critic and the editor of Gourmet magazine but this dish could not be any simpler. 2 eggs, 2 matzah crackers, salt, and butter. You break the matzah, you get it damp with water, you crack eggs, stir, and fry. When it came time to dress it up, I chose applesauce. It seemed the most fitting. I don't really remember this dish as a kid but I always saw my grandma putting orange marmalade on matzah for breakfast.
Later, the night of my BFD (brunch for dinner), I talked to my mom and told her about my dinner. She claimed that she and my grandma used to always make this dish for me as a kid. I might not remember this, but as soon as I took my first bite it felt just like home. When I asked my mom how it was served for me as a kid, she replied, "With jam." Not a surprise, I know that my family is Ashkenazi with more of a sweet rather than savory palate. By sweet, I mean fruity. My grandma introduced me to the joys, from an early age, of raisins in everything. From carrot salad to stuffed hen and bran muffins, nothing was without raisins. In fact, I am looking for a stuffed cabbage recipe with meat and raisins similar to the one she used to make. If you have such a delicious recipe pass it on and if you are looking for a cheap and delicious comfort brunch food add this to your repertoire. From the breaking of crackers to the cracking of eggs, this is a perfect no fail UG dish! Crack on, this dish is all it is cracked up to be!

If You DON'T Got It, Flaunt It!
It's pathetic, really. The talentless and classless going knickerless/braless/whateverless, in a desperate bid for the attentions of the paparazzi and the world.
Ho-hum, and I DO mean "ho"…
I guess if they can't get people to pay attention to them through legitimate means, like, oh, you know, acting or singing or whatnot, they think that flashing their hoo-has/tatas/boombooms is the way. Well, girls, uh, NO.
I remember when talent was the criterion. I see where it still is. Just not anywhere in the vicinity of these sad little chicks.
I blame the pap-pack, too, of course. It's a symbiotic relationship made in the gutter: you have the trash, and you have the trash picker-uppers, and you have the trash eaters (anyone who buys magazines or watches celebrity gossip shows). Talk about the Circle of Life!
And the horror doesn't stop there, oh no it doesn't! Behold, if you dare, the text of the condolence "letter" penned by Lohan and sent to the family of Robert Altman on the director's death (who really didn't need any more grief):
"I would like to send my condolences out to Catherine Altman, Robert Altmans wife, as well as all of his immediate family, close friends, co-workers, and all of his inner circle.
I feel as if I've just had the wind knocked out of me and my heart aches.
If not only my heart but the heart of Mr. Altman's wife and family and many fellow actors/artists that admire him for his work and love him for making people laugh whenever and however he could..
Robert altman made dreams possible for many independent aspiring filmmakers, as well as creating roles for countless actors.
I am lucky enough to of been able to work with Robert Altman amongst the other greats on a film that I can genuinely say created a turning point in my career.
I learned so much from Altman and he was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I've had in several years.
The point is, he made a difference.
He left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do.
So every day when you wake up.
Look in the mirror and thank god for every second you have and cherish all moments.
The fighting, the anger, the drama is tedious.
Please just take each moment day by day and consider yourself lucky to breathe and feel at all and smile. Be thankful.
Life comes once, doesn't 'keep coming back' and we all take such advantage of what we have.
When we shouldn't..... '
Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourselves' (12st book) -everytime there's a triumph in the world a million souls hafta be trampled on.-altman Its true. But treasure each triumph as they come.
If I can do anything for those who are in a very hard time right now, as I'm one of them with hearing this news, please take advantage of the fact that I'm just a phone call away.
God Bless, peace and love always.
Thank You,
Lindsay Lohan"
Oh dear God. There's no excuse for this wretched piece of illiteracy floating before our eyes like sewage in the harbor. Where was her publicist? Her manager? Her mom? Her Long Island public school teachers?? They must be cringing, surely. Or, well, maybe not. Perhaps Literacy Volunteers can stage an intervention.
BTW, Lindsay herself made this atrocity public, for whatever reasons of self-exploitation. Hey, just like her hoo-ha! I sense a theme here…
Still, I'll give her the benefit of SOME doubt: Maybe Paris and/or Britney helped their fellow Bimbo of the Apocalypse with her grammar. Or maybe she was just drunk from one of her hard-partying nights and "The Elements of Style" simply went straight out of her head. Yeah. That's the ticket.
Soooo…they dress like sluts, drink like fish, expose themselves with less shame than baboons and write like…well, I don't want to insult anyone by comparison. Obviously they weren't taught anything in the realm of manners, modesty, self-worth or language skills. Or any other skills, either, apparently.
I hate to keep harping on days of yore, but when OUR celebrity idols got drunk and disorderly and maybe publicly showed off their naughty bits (Jim, no; looking at YOU, Jimi, Janis, Grace, Woodstock attendees...) way back when, at least there was literacy and creativity and talent to back it up. See that here? Not so much.
Man! What a bad week for Long Island representin'! First Rosie from Commack, now Lindsay from Merrick. (Of course, Billy Joel the Drivin' Fool from the East End is ever with us…) Who's next?

Collecting rainwater can help you to save you money on your water bills because you can use the rainwater that you collect to water your indoor and outdoor plants. You can harvest rainwater to fill your swimming pool, flush your toilet, do your laundry, cook food or drink. You need to have a special rainwater harvesting system to be able to drink or use rainwater in your home but having the system can mean that you have access to water during power outages or storms. For people who have problems with their groundwater, utility service or terrain, a rainwater harvesting system can provide them with pure water with no dissolved minerals. If you are just trying to collect water for landscaping purposes, you can create your own rainwater collection system that is less sophisticated but will allow you to collect and store water to use for watering the grass or your plants.
Rainwater harvesting systems are used to collect, store and purify rainwater so that it can be used in a variety of ways. These systems are used by individuals and businesses. You place the systems on the roof or in a catchment area when they can collect water. The systems often contain ground-level tanks where water is stored, purified and distributed. Rainwater harvesting systems contain pipes, diverter systems, cisterns, purification systems, pumps and pressure tanks. The systems collect, remove debris and contaminated materials from, store, use UV rays to purify and distribute the rainwater. Once the rainwater has gone through the harvesting process, it is safe for people and animals to drink. Some water systems are connected to the water supply so that the harvested rainwater can be immediately used for tasks such as flushing a toilet. Rainwater harvesting systems can often store anywhere from 170 to 1,700 gallons of rainwater.
If you only want to collect a small amount of rainwater for gardening purposes, you can create a simpler system to collect water. One method that many people use is to take a 55 gallon bucket, drum or barrel and place it under their gutters. Water flows from the roof to the gutters down the downspouts to the collection containers. The drums or buckets will store the rainwater for you. You need to connect the barrels, buckets or drums to a PVC standpipe and hose bib so you can divert the water to a hose. When you use this method, it is important to install screens on your gutters to keep out debris. This method works best if you have a metal roof because water moves more easily over this type of roof. Another easy method of collecting and using rainwater is to create a sloped walkway, sidewalk, porch or deck, pointing it directly towards your trees or plants so that water will naturally run off to your plants. Creating depressions in the ground can help you to naturally store the rainwater for future use and prevent flooding in your yard.

Join a local group
You may join a group in your area with a view to donating some garments every year or help with the sewing or knitting of various garments, please contact the Secretary at firstname.lastname@example.com and she will let you know where your nearest group is.
Start a new group
We are very keen for people to start a new group among their family, friends and work colleagues.
As the organiser of the new group you will become a President, and as such will be invited to our AGM held every year in London. You will also be asked to deliver any items of clothing or linen that you have collected over the year to St James' Palace in early autumn, where we sort and redistribute them all. Of course, a group could just do fund raising for the purchase of items and not have to be present at either event.
Here are some ideas for starting and running a group;
- Pay an annual subscription
- Attendance at the Annual General Meeting – optional
- Attendance at Packing Week – also optional, but contributions need to be delivered to St James's Palace
- Promote the work/aims of the Guild whenever and wherever possible: hand out leaflets; write in local parish magazines; give short talks to organizations (if so inclined!) tell others about us
- Provide as many items as possible – but if it is only a few, that is more than acceptable. Ask friends/colleagues/guests to donate just one or two garments a year (knitted/sewn/bought), or give a small cash donation
- Hold Coffee Mornings and/or fundraise if so desired – but not essential
Please let the Secretary know about your activities and she can update the news part of this website and the QMCG Facebook page.
Join the Schools Group
We will welcome new Schools into our Schools Group wherever they are located.
To receive a School's Pack or to have our Schools Representative visit your school, contact the Schools' Coordinator at email@example.com
Fund raising is obviously an on going process. Donations of money are specifically used to purchase required items of clothing or linen from various warehouses.
If you wish to donate, and are a UK taxpayer, we are able to reclaim tax on your donation. Download a Gift Aid form.
If you have any new items of clothing or linen that you wish to donate, please contact the Secretary at email@example.com and she will let you know how best to get it to us, via a local President if possible to save on postage.
Many of our groups have large numbers of knitters who make the vast majority of the hats, scarves, bed jackets, cardigans, jumpers and baby clothes that we give away each year.
Any new items of clothing or linen are always welcome. In addition should anyone want to knit or make items the following are the main groups of people and the types of hand made items that are most needed for them. Please note all wool should be machine washable and sets of gloves etc should be tacked together
The Homeless
Mainly for men – warm hats, balaclavas, scarves, gloves, fingerless mittens, snoods and any type of jumper. All preferably in dark or neutral colours. Please make sure hats cover ears with no tassels or pompoms.
Men, Women and the Elderly
Men and women – cardigans, bed socks, bed jackets, leg warmers for women. Cardigans, jumpers, gilets/sleeveless jumpers and bedsocks for men.
Please note that we currently have less demand for knee blankets. If knitting groups love knitting or crocheting squares for knee blankets, could we please ask that they are made up into a size that could be used as a bed throw or blanket instead e.g. 6' x 4'. These have many uses for families and the homeless.
Children aged 6-15
Hats, gloves and scarves and jumpers. If you knit a jumper please make sure the neck opening of jumper is large enough to pull over their head comfortably.
Children aged 2 – 5
Hats, gloves/mittens and scarves are most popular. If you knit a jumper please make sure the neck opening of jumper is large enough to pull over their head comfortably.
Babies up to 2 years old
Cardigans (rather than matinee jackets), Jumpers (with large neck opening) hat and mitten sets, baby bootees. Please tack any matching sets together.
Shawls in soft baby colours – 40" x 40" (1m x 1m) approximately
Buggy blankets – 5' x 4' / 5' (150cm x 120 /150cm) to fold and cocoon babies before putting in the buggies.
Premature Babies
We have a requirement for several items for premature babies in the neonatal units in hospitals. The sizes and materials of these items are very specific, as the babies are very small and their skin very delicate.
- If possible please use 4 ply for the clothing although DK is acceptable for some hospitals
- Blankets and shawls are fine in DK
- Patterns should be smooth and soft – no lumps and bumps
- Hats, mittens and bootees – no ribbons or ties please.
- V necked cardigans to fit 12", 14″ and 16" (30cm and 40cm) in 4ply or DK
- Tiny blankets from A4 (8.5″ to 11″) for very tiny babies, 4ply wool on 4mm needles
- White shawls – 24" x 24" (60cm x 60cm)
- Blankets – 16" x 32" (40cm x 80cm) or 20" x 22"/25" (50cm x 55/62cm)
- Blankkets – 20″ square (50cm x 50cm)
- Light blankets, fleeces and quilts – 30" x 30" (75cm x 75cm)
- Fleeces and quilts – 18" x 18" (45cm x 45cm) very smooth to lie babies on.

You can print off the Preferred list 2018 and distribute it amongst members of your Group.
Please read and take note of their copyright conditions.
Thank you so much for whatever contribution you are able to make, it will certainly go to a good home.

CARL FURLONG snatched a dramatic late winner just when last night's friendly seemed destined for a draw.
Fielding a mixture of first and second team players, Chester were on top in the first half, with recent signing Michael Brown going close three times and Carl Ruffer heading over the bar.
In a more even second period Chester had the chances to score but Lee Elam and Stuart Whittaker failed to find the target.
Colwyn were always competitive and finished the game very strongly with Stuart McCormick heading over and having a shot saved by John Worsnop.
With two minutes remaining McCormick released Furlong with a glorious pass and he raced from the half way line to see his first shot parried by the keeper but he made no mistake with the rebound.

fennel herb into the gut cavity of each fish.

cook for another 6 -8 minutes until they are cooked right through to the backbone.

and some boiled new potatoes.

Hi there,
The first post on this blog was 17th September 2014, so it has been 6 months and a few days since I started posting here. During this time, I translated 2 volumes of Altina, 2 volumes of Knight's & Magic, 2 volumes of Gifting and V2 of Overlord.
I try to stick to the official Chinese version, but there is still a chance that I missed some stuff because I am not using the source material. Like some proz amateur translator said, translating from a translation is always wrong. Always.
Which brings me to this point.
Desperate people calls for desperate measures, so if you are willing to make do with me, I'm cool with it. If not, I guess you can pretend I don't exist and do something else. Please, don't come here if it upsets you. I don't want to make you sad, there are already plenty of sad things in this world .
Project updates:
Knight's & Magic V2 will be completely translated next Tuesday. I can't read Japanese, so please carry on the search for a Jap TL to take over the project. Good luck.
Personally speaking, I like Gifting. But going by the page views and donations, it is not popular with others. Maybe the manga version would do better. Majority wins, will put this on hiatus.
Good news for Altina, someone is picking it up. MythosIX has started working on the translation, and the editing team is helping him. Round of applause for the new translator.
As for Overlord, it is not my project, I am just helping. The current team is Ferro, Sene9ty, Ghoststaker, Namorax, Fate Trooper, Exct G. Remember to credit them, not me.
Shout outs to all the people editing my works. Darkdhaos, Chris S, Fate Trooper, Cristian, Khyree, RavenSlither, Maximilian, Yan and Storm Loki. Thanks for making my works readable, I am grateful for all your help.
I need some rest, will take a break and just do editing for now.
Beware of motor vehicles in Japan.

GLEN ELLYN – An incumbent kept her seat and two of three candidates on a slate joined the Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board of Education as a result of the April 7 municipal elections, according to preliminary results from the DuPage County Election Commission.
The three victors – current board member Erica Nelson and newcomers Stephanie Clark and Kurt Buchholz – were separated by only 69 votes between the three of them, with Clark eking out the top spot with 1,680 total.
Nelson said she was excited to serve her third term, and believed her history on the board was the decisive element in the final standings.
"I am someone who does my homework – I am a hard worker on the board," she said. "I also see my role as a board member being in the role of governance and doing the work of setting that vision ... and [having] the responsibility for speaking for the taxpayer and the district at the state level."
Nelson said the board would have to hit the ground running on issues such as facility needs, full-day kindergarten and creating a broad vision for the direction of the district.
She welcomed the two new members, and said she looked forward to helping orient them after they are sworn in in May.
"To all of those who ran – it is a lot of work and takes a lot of energy and is a huge commitment," she said. "So huge hats off to everyone who ran in this race and showed their commitment to wanting to put their names on the ballot."
Clark and Buchholz ran on a slate with Kevin Rath, who came in sixth among the seven candidates behind Lori Taylor and Kristin Massey, and ahead of Jeff Cooper.
Both named full-day kindergarten as a major issue on the campaign trail.
Clark said that "the district is going to have to restore trust with the community" to move forward with the issue in a questionnaire for Suburban Life before the election.
The two also stressed more formalized evaluations for district programming to establish funding priorities.
"The district needs to prioritize its most important programs that are most effective so we aren't always going back to the taxpayer to fund a new initiative," Buchholz said in the same questionnaire.
Neither Clark nor Buchholz responded to requests for comment.

Carolyn D. McGee and Carolyn J. McBride
This lesson was created as a part of the SMART website and is hosted by the Illinois Institute of Technology
Lesson 1
They walk, crawl, and fly all over the world. There are more of them than any other kind of animal on earth! And, they have been around for over 350 million years!
What are they?
They are insects.
What makes an insect an insect?
For one thing it has a special body. All insects have a hard shell on the outside called an exoskeleton. The shell protects the little insects just like metal armor protects a knight. An insect's body has three parts. It has a head, a middle section called a thorax, and an abdomen.
Where do insects live?
Insects live in the air, on the ground, under rocks, in trees, in and around water, and some even live together in colonies and hives.
Some helpful vocabulary words:
Head Chrysalis Proboscis Nectar
Abdomen Compound Antennae Caterpillar
Thorax Metamorphosis Exoskeleton
Click on this link to find a link to a dictionary to help you define the vocabulary words. Scroll down the page and you will find the words, "Illustrated Butterfly Dictionary." Click on this link and begin to define the vocabulary words.
How does an insect grow up?
All insects hatch from eggs. As they grow, they get bigger and bigger, and begin to look more like their parents. The change that insects go through from egg to adult is called metamorphosis. The word metamorphosis means, "changes shape." There are many kinds of metamorphosis. Some insects change by just growing bigger. Others grow wings. But there are some insects, such as butterflies, that change so much that the adult looks nothing like the youth.
Click on this hyperlink and you will visit a website and visit Ms. Gray's classroom. Here you will find photos that show the stages of metamorphosis of a Painted Lady butterfly from the moment it arrives as larva, until it emerges as an adult butterfly. You may click on the pictures in the series to enlarge them.
Read these descriptive characteristics of insects:
All insects have 6 legs.
All insects have 3 body parts: The head, abdomen, and the thorax.
All winged insects have 4 wings.
All insects have 2 antennae.
Most insects have two kinds of eyes; big ones on the side of the head, and little ones in the middle of the head. (These are called compound eyes.)
An insect does not have a skeleton, or bones on the inside. It has a hard covering on the outside called the exoskeleton.
Identify the pictures below as insects or non- insects. What are the identifying characteristics that make them insects?
Butterflies are beautiful insects. The body of a butterfly is long and slender. They have knobs at the ends of their antennae, which are used for smelling. Their wings are covered with tiny scales that give their wings their color. All butterflies hatch as caterpillars, which look like worms. The butterflies change to adult butterflies in a chrysalis, or paper-like case.
Butterflies are found everywhere. They live on mountains and in deserts. As caterpillars, they eat leaves and fruit, often damaging crops. As butterflies, they cannot bite or chew. For food, they, they drink nectar, the sugary liquid from flowers. In order to do this, they stretch out straw-like tubes called proboscis and suck the nectar from the flowers. butterflies fly only during the day. When resting, they fold their wings straight up.
Can you answer these questions?
1. Describe the proboscis. What is the function of the proboscis?
2. Do you think a butterfly can survive without the proboscis? Why or why not?
3. What are antennae? Where are they located?
4. Where do the wings of butterflies get their color?
Painted Lady Butterfly Printout Activity:
Visit the website below and follow these instructions:
1. Click on the hyperlink for Painted Lady activities
2. Read the descriptions of the body parts of the Painted Lady.
3. Print out the diagram of the Painted Lady.
4. Color the diagram according to the instructions.

Expand High Fidelity PCR System is an unique enzyme blend (Taq / Pwo DNA polymerase) that is ideal for amplifying fragments up to 5 kb from human genomic DNA. It gives better results (higher yield and greater fidelity) than Taq DNA Polymerase alone in standard PCR reactions. (See also "How the Expand High Fidelity PCR System Outperforms Taq DNA Polymerase").
Note: If Expand Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. 1785826)a, AMV Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. 1495062), or the First Strand cDNA Synthesis for RT-PCR (Cat. No. 1483188) is used for cDNA synthesis in a two step RT-PCR, RNA templates with a length up to 5 kb can be amplified. Expand Reverse Transcriptase is a genetically engineered version of M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase. A point mutation within the RNase H sequence reduces the RNase H activity below detectable levels. This product is not for sale in the United States.Application profile Operating parameters

Transformational practices are what the Institute is about, and there is no more transformational time of year than the season we have just entered - of Elul and of Tishrei - of preparation, reflection, and t'shuvah.
I once heard a story from Rabbi Sholom Rivkin, who told that in the old days, if you wanted to go talk to the king, you had to think about who could help you get invited to the palace. You had to wear your best clothes and learn the court etiquette - how to enter the throne room, when to bow, what to say, where to look. It was all very complicated and very serious. But sometimes, the king just went for a walk in the fields. And at those times, you could just start walking along next to the king and share whatever was on your heart.
Elul is the season when the King goes walking in the fields.
I love this imagery, the intimacy, the hope it conveys for coming close to the Divine. I feel my heart leap up: Yes! I too want to go for a walk with the King! (or the Queen - pick your metaphor of royalty.) I want that immediate access, the instant connection. So often I focus on learning the court ritual, or, as we say, "preparing the vessel" - committing to the form of the ritual, dragging my attention back over and over. I know that the practice is a tool that can create the possibility for those moments of awareness. Yet I yearn for those moments of grace.
I also love this story because the High Holy Days themselves are like the throne room, not like the open fields. They are arguably the most formal, complicated and serious days of our whole year. We (especially we clergy) could get seduced into thinking that the preparation for these Days of Awe is mostly involved with liturgy and choreography. But this is precisely when God invites greater accessibility of a very different kind.
And so part of my preparation for the Holy Days includes imagining:
Wishing you an inspiring, heart-opening beginning to these most holy of days!
Awareness is sunlight in the mind. No one can take that from me. Awareness is my life's stronghold. It absorbs all fear.
The hindrances and defilements are as close as my flesh and mind, but they dissolve in the light of being known.
Even though I feel assaulted by hostile forces, my heart remains confident, balanced and patient.
I seek only one thing, one thing alone: to connect to this moment. Nowhere else. Only this. Nothing less. My palace in time.
When difficulties arise, I have a hiding place in my own heart - a secret tent where I can go and feel safe, a rock to rest my head upon.
Greed, hatred and delusion don't stop coming, but when they are met with a spacious heart, they don't stick around. Leaving me so grateful, I want to sing out loud:
Listen world! The power of love sets me free.
When I turn to face my heart - then everyone and everything is revealed.
Let this truth not be hidden from me. If only I could remember always what seems so clear right now. Wisdom would guide my every moment.
Awareness and compassion would be a father and a mother to me.
But I can follow the guidance of those who have walked this path before.
Trying to stay alert to the obstacles along the way because delusion and hatred aren't disappearing so fast.
Still, I affirm my faith in the power of goodness.
May we take courage; may we be strong; may our hearts be so filled with love there is no room for anything else!
May we see the arising and passing of all conditioned things (anicca vata sankhara).
May we open to the Unconditioned: Y*H*V*H
[Hebrew and English]

First things first, you need to know what kind of office chair will most benefit you and your coworkers. Start by analyzing your personal areas of discomfort. Then ask around to see if any of your teammates are struggling with the same issues. The more coworkers you have on board, the more likely your boss will be to listen and invest in new seating.
You'll then want to take your search to the web. Locate an office chair showroom in your area and give it a visit. You'll be rewarded with a ton of helpful information that will help you convince the boss when the time is right.
Start by explaining to your boss the ways your fighting discomfort and how they're related to your current chair. Then provide him with information on the chairs you've checked out at the showroom. This way, he'll have a good idea on what to expect price wise. You'll also want to inform him now that many of your fellow coworkers are struggling with their current chair's performance.
You'll also want to inform your boss on the benefits that a new chair with adjustable ergonomic features will provide. Support and productivity are both key words worth mentioning!
If you couldn't locate a showroom in your area, we'll help you out a bit. In 2017, the average professional grade office chair will run you about $300.00. Here's a few suggestions that will definitely keep you well supported and operating at peak performance levels throughout the work day.
Comfortable Ergo Chairs That Won't Break The Budget:
- Eon by Cherryman Industries
- 11516B by Offices To Go
- Apollo by Eurotech Seating
- Rave by SitWell
- Creedence by Woodstock Marketing
- Commute by Mayline
If your boss seems uninterested in the notion of purchasing all new chairs at first, don't be discouraged. It might take a little convincing. Ask your boss to take a seat in your current chair. Show him it's features and how they just aren't cutting it. If they see and experience the inefficiency personally, they'll be more sympathetic to your needs. It might just be the eye opener you need to push them over the top.
If all else fails, you can visit your physician. Explain to them how your current chair isn't cutting it and your personal areas of discomfort. In most cases when the issues become health risks, they'll provide you with a recommendation that can be presented to your boss.
Have you stopped to wonder if your employer's chair is cutting it? Don't be afraid to ask them. You might present the initial request in a question like "Hey, is your office chair getting the job done? I'm really struggling with mine". This open ended inquiry sounds much better than "Hey, I need a new chair. Can you buy me one?" You can also ask them to visit a showroom with you. The sales people will be more than happy to do a little of the convincing for you.
When you boss finally decides to invest in new chairs. Let them know you appreciate it. The odds are, you'll need additional ergonomic products that will improve health and comfort in the future to remain at your best. Take the time to master your chair. Help your boss with his if they've purchased one as well to maximize it's benefits. Show them that the investment has not gone unnoticed!

Well, well, well. Today is Wednesday and one of my favorite days too! I get to show you what I have been making as well as what is going to be in store. So to recap, I have been working on this teddy bear and things have been going great until Monday night. When I first started the project, I knew that there might not be enough yarn to finish…but a girl can hope, right? Just as I expected, the yarn was getting scarce as I started on the foot.
WiP Wednesday – Socks and Other Adventures
It's finally finished! Well, one foot anyway. Here it is…
I finished it two nights ago and immediately started the 2nd one. This pattern has been difficult for me because it is written for circulars and not DPN. Up to the heel flap is easy (duh…it's just a tube at this point :P) but knowing how many stitches for the flap itself and figuring out the gusset was a bit tedious. I took some notes. I just hope that I can understand them!
Last night I decided that I was going to start crocheting items from my never ending bucket list. There is nothing that the kids and I need at the moment but I still want to crochet something. Today I am going to go through all my patterns and pick out the ones that I want to do this month and see how it goes. I will be posting progress and final photos up on my Facebook page so come by and take a gander over the next couple of weeks.
That is all for today. I know, pretty short, but I haven't been doing too much here lately. So, until tomorrow my lovelies!
God Bless!

You Know What Today Is! WiP Wednesday! Yay!
Well, well, well. This is probably one of my most favorite day of the week. I get to show you what I have been working on. This time I am working on 4 different projects – 2 knit and 2 crochet.
The first one is a hat that I am knitting. I had recently bought a pair of circulars for a project and to get used to knitting in the round, I decided to make a simple hat. Easy enough, right? Heh, heh. I took it one step further and see what would happen if I flipped my knitting over and continued to knit. This is what I came up with:
I call it 'lazy knitting' only because I don't have to purl at all…just flip the work over. I love the results because it makes the hat sort of reversible to which look you prefer. I think my next issue is how to bind it off in a way that I can cinch it shut. I haven't gotten that far as yet nor have I decided if I just want to make it a slouch or decrease to make it a fitted cap. I might just continue with the 'lazy' route and continue to knit until there is just enough to bind off and close. I am having fun and that is what is important, right?!
This next one I am making for my children – place mats and coasters. They are some very messy eaters no matter how I try to teach them the proper way to use utensils. They do to a certain extent but always resort to what the good Lord made for them, their fingers! So, you can imagine the mess they can make especially eating their favorite dish…spaghetti and meatballs! Aye-yai-yai-yai-yai! (My favorite phrase from The God's Must Be Crazy! – hilarious!) I figure if they can keep the mess contained to the mats, I don't have to keep treating the table every other day. I'm also contemplating making a table cloth as well but who needs another project? Ha, ha!
I am also knitting a new scarf for my son. When we went into Walmart last Friday, I had to scope out some yarn for one of the kids at church and for my son to choose which color green he wanted. And he picked this bright green that I can only knit at night in low light. All I can say is that he will not be hard to see when it gets dark!
This last one is another doily that I am making. I found the pattern and decided that I wanted something bigger so I am using a larger hook than recommended. I'm thinking that when I move, this will go on the dining table as the base for a centerpiece. Time will tell.
This is all that are on my hooks and needles. What is on yours?
God Bless!

Over Half Way There! Yay!
It has been a very taxing week for me and the kids. My daughter became sick early Saturday morning and it has been a chore! She caught the same thing that I had a couple of weeks ago but for her, as small as she is, it seemed worse. When I was sick, she kept kissing me (she is no way shape or form stingy with her kisses either!) and wanting to snuggle in hopes that it would make me feel better. I protested, I felt bad about it, but I guess I didn't do it enough because she still got sick. It was so bad that I had to take her to the hospital on Sunday. Now she is doing better but she still has a cough. Going to see the doc tomorrow morning for a follow up. I thank God that so far, I haven't had to pay for anything in regards to this….Lord knows I wouldn't have been able to pay it.
I did get some knitting done and doubled the size of my daughters' scarf. I think that it is coming along nicely.
I only have a short way to go before I am done. I really want to get started on some house slippers that I found on Ravelry. I found three free patters that I want to make but can only make two of them since I don't have DPNs or circular needles.
I found the Bulky Yarn Booty,
(which are both worked flat),and Elf Shoes
(which I will make once I get a set of DPNs. Aren't they adorable?! There goes an idea for Christmas parties!!). I also have some fabric paint to help stop the skidding on the wood flooring. They love to run around and when they are in socks they usually fall and bust their behinds. Heh heh!
I also found something, well…I didn't find it but Sandy of Sanderellas did, I came across it that would help other crocheters and knitters out there who have trouble organizing their projects, stash and notions. Even though my stash is miniscule compared to others, I still don't know what I have in my stash. I think these journal pages created by Kathryn Ivy will help tremendously. Each page comes with an explanation as to their use. So you can download all or just the ones that you need. I've saved them all since I am prone to ideas all the time, even though I have no idea where to start with a lot of them! I am going to start mine today, at least get my stash documented that way I don't have to guess as to what I have or what I don't have.
Well I hope all is well with you all and you are enjoying your day. I am going to take a mini break and get on to inventory.
God Bless!

Have you heard of using Nuedexta to help treat depression?

Hi, johns! As far as I know (and I very well might be wrong!!) Nuedexta is only currently approved for a rare neurological condition, pseudobulbar affect or PBA. The emotional symptoms resemble depression.
Clinical studies are being done to test it's efficacy in treating drug-resistant depression, and apparently some doctors are prescribing Nuedextra off-label.
I haven't read any of the forums or anyone's comments about it works for them. You could Google *nuedextra for depression*.
Good luck! WCV
Source: Drugs.com
Nuedexta contains a combination of dextromethorphan and quinidine. Dextromethorphan affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex and is generally used as a cough suppressant.
Quinidine affects the way that the heart beats and is generally used to in people with certain heart rhythm disorders.
Nuedexta is used to treat involuntary outbursts of crying or laughing in people with certain neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease).
Nuedexta may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
I hope that helps.
I was prescribed NUEDEXTA "off label" for depression and it worked for me in 10 days.
I had been on CYMBALTA & ABILIFY but they really weren't helping me as I continued to be seriously depressed (as a result of a traumatic brain injury and a stroke). The neurologist I saw is *highly acclaimed" within the medical community for his expertise and in the waiting room I spoke to a patient that just raved about him.
The neurologist told me that he had prescribed NUEDEXTA to 200 patients that were depressed. (I don't know if their depression was a result of a neurological disability)
Of those 200 patients, five (5) patients experienced side effects. Four (4) patients' side effects stopped between three (3) days and one (1) month. One patient did not experience any change in his level of depression.
He told me that one (1) patient excitedly called him two (2) days after her appointment to let him know she was already feeling better. She was so excited because she had been on the "antidepressant rollercoaster" for such a long time, nothing worked and here she already felt better within two (2) days.
The neurologist said that he could not estimate how long it would take NUEDEXTA to work or even if it would work as he did have that one (1) patient where NUEDEXTA didn't work. The time frame varied by individual.
As I noted above, it took ten (10) days for me. I admit I was surprised since I had also been on the "antidepressant rollercoaster" for a long time.
I was lucky to have been referred to this neurologist by my neurologist.
I learned at the end of my appointment (which lasted 90 min) that he was involved in the development of NUEDEXTA and in all three (3) clinical phase trials before the drug's approval by the FDA.
Since he had been so involved in the research and development of NUEDEXTA I felt secure in using an "off label" rx. I am so glad I did. I have been using NUEDEXTA for six (6) months.
It certainly helped me and I would not hesitate recommending it for depression. The biggest drawback is the price of the drug but it made such a difference in my life that I am willing to skimp on something else so I can afford the drug.
Would you be willing to post the name and any contact information for your doctor or contact me directly? My doctor is interested in prescribing it for me (I have treatment resistant bipolar depression and ECT, VNS, and rTMS as well as experimental medications have failed). Thanks
My off-label experience is the same, although it's been less than two weeks so far. My husband is so relieved to see I may have found something to help my depression and crying.
I see your comment was made 3 years ago. Do you have anything to add?
In answer to the first question, my neurologist asked that I not reveal his name. (I guess liability issues). In response to the 2nd question, I am still using the rx and have no intention of stopping.
Not to be overly skeptical, the detailed answers given above by the physician regarding the details of outcomes of other patients seems suspicious. It sounds more like the person that wrote this was a pharmaceutical rep, not a patient. I don't know any doctor that would detail to this extent a justification for off label use of this product. Sorry, but doctors don't have that much detailed recall on how many patients they gave medicine to with the "call in" comments and the number of responses. Make sense?
Joann, I've seen some glaringly fake shill posts on other sites, so I know what you mean. In this case, I didn't see the usual signs of fakery. The detail about other patients is unusual, but I've had a doctor quote his previous results once. In favor of authenticity is the surprisingly positive ratings and reviews for Nuedexta on this site. Are those fake too? I don't think so. For a good example of fake positive reviews, I recommend the Chantix page here on drugs.com.
1. My case was hopeless
2. I was afraid to try Chantix because ______.
3. I'm so glad I tried it. It worked great.
4a. I was worried about side effects but I made sure to ____, which seemed to work. I didn't get any side effects.
4b. I know people complain about x, but chances are that x has nothing to do with Chantix.
4. I highly recommend Chantix!

Every November the region of the night sky associated with the constellation of Leo is filled with a prolific meteor shower, known as the Leonids. The Leonids generally occur each year between November 13th and November 21st, reaching its peak on around the 17th, when 20 to 30 meteors can be seen each hour. However, every 33 years a periodic meteor storm occurs when thousands of meteors can be observed every hour, the next of which is due to occur in 2032.
Although the meteors appear to radiate from the Leo constellation, it is in fact caused by the Earth intersecting a trail of dust left behind by the Tempel-Tuttle comet during its countless journeys orbiting the Sun. As the comet's trailing debris particles, known as 'meteoroids', hit then vaporize in Earth's atmosphere at around 158,000 mph (256,000km/h), they produce the streaks of light in the sky we call meteors or shooting stars. Most meteoroids are completely incinerated around 60miles above the ground, but those few making it all the way to the Earth' surface are known as meteorites.
The Leonids have apparently been observed since 902 A.D, which Arab historical accounts refer to as the "Year of the Stars," and Chinese astronomers as the year "stars fell as rain." However, the spectacular Leonid meteor storm of 1833 is credited with launching the modern study of meteors, and caused such widespread panic in the United States that many people feared that it was the end of the world.
Then, as many as two hundred thousand meteors an hour were seen in the November night sky and such was the Leonids' intensity that many people were woken from their sleep by what appeared to be the sky on fire or by the commotion coming from the streets. However, all survived the night intact but they might have been able to better enjoy the spectacle had they known it was more likely they would be struck seven times in a row by lightning than being hit by a falling meteorite.

The B.C. Supreme Court's decision to end the practice of solitary confinement in Canadian prisons is an opening to push for greater supports for federal inmates, according to the West Coast Prison Justice Society.
Jennifer Metcalfe, executive director of the Prisoner Legal Services branch, said that Wednesday's decision paved the way to address psychological ramifications of segregating prisoners.
"This case is really exciting because the remedies were so strong," said Metcalfe.
"It's really going to change the way prisons are administered and I think it will have really far-reaching impacts."
The nine-week-long trial between the BC Civil Liberties Association, the John Howard Society of Canada and the Attorney General of Canada ended with Justice Peter Leask declaring the practice of isolating prisoners for undefined lengths of time unconstitutional.
The federal government, which has been given 12 months to change its practices, has not ruled out an appeal.
In a statement, public safety minister Ralph Goodale blamed the previous federal Conservative government's "overuse of administrative segregation" for both the B.C. case and a similar lawsuit in Ontario.
Goodale said that the Liberal government has been working on reforms to "remedy the mistaken views and directions of the Harper era" since early 2016 but that the work will take "time and effort."
Metcalfe said the decision made in Wednesday's ruling was much stronger than the one in the March 2017Canadian Civil Liberties Association case.
"In the Canadian Civil Liberties case, they found that health monitoring would deal with a lot of the issues," said Metcalfe.
"This one rejected that health monitoring is adequate to address the psychological and health impact on prisoners in segregation."
The only remedy the judge in the Canadian Civil Liberties case case imposed, Metcalfe said, was that someone aside from the prison warden review segregation placements.
The B.C Supreme Court ruling that solitary confinement is a charter violation opens up more support for inmates' mental health, Metcalfe said.
"The laws authorized prolonged, indefinite administrative segregation for anyone… that lacked meaningful human contact," said Metcalfe.
"We've had clients who have been in for over a year. They might have a day here and there where they're out, but the vast majority of their time over a period of years was in segregation."
Metcalfe said that as a result, those clients developed post-traumatic stress disorder and began to self-harm – far from the rehabilitation that prisons are supposed to provide.
"[The decision] found that the laws violated the charted because they allowed prisoners with mental-health issues to be held in segregation and they discriminate against Indigenous prisoners," said Metcalfe.
"A lot of the reasons why people end up in segregation should be addressed through access to therapeutic services, instead of just locking people up behind closed doors and throwing away the key."

A New Adventure
It was pretty amazing to me, because I have been involved in food intolerance issues for nearly 15 years because of my daughter, and have a reasonable amount of knowledge about it all. I have several gluten intolerant friends too, but I never picked up that it could be my problem too. I guess it was because their problems were mainly with their gut - but being gluten intolerant can affect pretty much everything else too, it seems. So anyway, I thought it was worth a try. Everything is worth a try once, don't you think? For an adventurous life?
I read a few different blogs and websites and informed myself enough in that afternoon to know in my heart that I was gluten intolerant. I knew. And I think I know quite a few other people who are as well. What really clinched it for me was not necessarily the articles I was reading, but the hundreds of comments left by people for whom going gluten free has been a transforming choice, and the happiness they describe at their symptoms disappearing.
There will always be people who scoff about any dietary changes and who resist as if their lives depended on it - I saw that when I had to put my daughter on a special diet - but what they want to think has nothing to do with me. It's not a question of right and wrong, just their choice, my choice. Parents often say to their children about food, "You can't say you don't like it if you haven't tried it," but we don't say that to ourselves as adults very often. In fact, sometimes we resist like crazy.
So anyway, I tried it. The very next day. I noticed changes before the day was out - positive changes. I couldn't go shopping for a few days, but we had stuff in the house that I could use and I was challenged to make nice things like Carrot and Lentil Soup, instead of just bunging some stuff in a sandwich and calling it lunch. What's not to like about facing the prospect of this for lunch?
One of the most amazing things to me was that I wasn't hungry all the time. I am usually never satisfied, always almost desperate for "something" else, although whatever it might be always eluded me. I realise now that it was a lack of something that was required.
Here is what these first few days have done for me: My feeling of desperate wanting and checking the kitchen for whatever it might be has vanished. I no longer feel bloated and uncomfortable - in fact, I can no longer feel my belly at all, I am not aware of it all the time like I used to be just a week ago. My chronically itchy and sore scalp is no longer itchy and sore, it just feels like the rest of my skin now. No chronic headache. The joint pain in my knees has disappeared (hips are still sore, but my knees feel great). I feel alert and alive and actually, I feel like laughing out loud! Which is no small thing let me tell you. I suffered from depression and although I have now recovered, I still didn't feel like I was on top of the world. I lost 3kg in the first few days. I'm not tired. Or grumpy. I am sleeping like a log for at least an hour longer than usual, getting closer to normal range. Probably something else too, but that'll do for starters. I just feel better all over.
So, do I regret my decision or choices? Nope. Do I miss gluten? Nope - as far as I can tell, there isn't anything to miss. There are so many fabulous recipes out there to try and flavours to tempt me, that I can't see how I will miss it. It just doesn't loom on my horizon any more. I don't see that I'm saying a big no to anything important, but rather a big yes to a whole lot more.
And the point of this post is to say (apart from, thanks for listening to me) is that, it doesn't matter where we are in life, things can get better if we are open to change and possibility.
love Heather x

I'm looking ahead to a week of hours and hours and hours of university. So I prepared Focaccine. Little folded pizzas. Perfect to go.
I'm pretty sure you won't find any frozen pizza in the grocery store which is as tasty as those little gems.
I found the original recipe here. But actually, I only prepared half of the really nice and smooth dough with dry yeast instead of fresh one, made my own filling and left out the garlic oil. (Which I am sure is really good, but who wants to smell like garlic at university?)
For the dough, you need:
250 g wheat dough
150 g cold water
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 g dry yeast
7 g salt
Knead a normal yeast dough. I do that by hand – I know some people use the mixer, but I don't. Papa taught me to knead yeast dough and I do that and it's always great. Let it rise for about 3 hours.payday loans (Punch it down in between.)
Divide it in 4 to 5 dough balls and let them rise again for some minutes.
Roll every single dough ball out and top it with everything you like on pizza. I made two different toppings. But you always need tomato sauce and oregano.
Wouldn't be a pizza without it.
And then, how about tomatoes and mozzarella?
Really simple.
But this is my favourite: Spinach.
And feta. And, really important, freshly grated pepper.
And olives, of course.
I already told you about the best pizza in this world here. But now the best of all pizzas is a sandwich – Brilliant!
Now, you can fold your focaccine.
Oh, and preheat your oven to 200° C. (390° F)
Brush the focaccine with olive oil.
And then, bake them. For about 15 minutes until pretty and brown.
That's it. Unfortunately, I can't show you the baked inside because after cooling, I immediately froze them. Now they are waiting to be my yummy packed lunch. And that's how you can make yourself look forward to a long day of university courses.
