Cosopt and
AC 1% OPHTC SUSP 10ML (a steroid to remove pain) They help the pain and they were both prescribed by the doctor while we had the insurance. Recently her eye has become such a problem it is affecting the family and we really need some help/answers. So my questions are: 1) Is there anything we can do to ease the pain other than taking asprin? 2) Is there anything we can do to help remove/shrink the blood vessels?

I am in the middle of having cataract surgery (one
is done and the other will be done tomorrow). The doctor gave me small samples of Nevanac & Vigamox to use before and after the surgeries. He also gave me a prescription for both. In checking with my health insurance plan, I see that each prescription will cost me $75 to fill. I saw in a previous question that Tobramycin might be substituted for Vigamox (which is MUCH cheaper). Can you suggest a cheaper substitute for Nevanac?

Has anyone heard of this aggressive Durezol
drop regimen post Cataract surgery ? I am having Cat. surgery 10 months after ERM/Vitrectomy. My central macular region has stabilized on OCT to 317 in the fovea, but in the mid 300's as the "average thickness". I have no CME now, but because of the thicker retina my Cat. surgeon thinks I am at higher risk of CME post Cat. Surgery. I read that Durezol is 6 times stronger than the std.

I personally have been very pleased with this IOL, because it delivers better results for patients with significant levels of astigmatism and with very little downside. Also, the
for the patient is less that half of the
for a multifocal IOL. Patients who are good candidates are those with: 1. Amounts of astigmatism in the 1.50 to 4.00 diopter range. 2. Regular astigmatism that measures the same on a consistant basis. 3.

To further complicate things, I was diagnosed 6 months ago with hypothyroidism, for which I am being treated in an ongoing manner.

Something worth noting is I do believe the incidences of it occuring has dropped significantly since stopping the use of artificial tears and red

Based on my experience, she elected to get crystsl lens implants in both eyes, at an out of pocket
of $8,000. The left
is OK, but the lens in the right
did not unfold properly when implanted. She has severe astigmatism, and still has to wear glasses. The opthamologist has tried repeatedly to get the lens to unfold, by piercing it with a laser in numerous places, which he said was the manufacturer's recommendation.

I have been to several doctors who always just give me

It is really embarrassing, and I cant control it...

Yrs. ago, I also went through this terrible problem & ETD is just the worst thing to dx/treat/fix. My case was unilateral w/ ear but bilateral w/ nasal prssr-hdprssr. I also went through several ENT's/Neurotologists scans & tests. Cause can be 1 or multi-problems. It's a rule out game. Hm-journal, like a sm- calendar bk is great since it's dated & can go back to see date of matching events/symptoms. Use abreviations. The ET's are in the back of the throat & connect to middle-ear.

There is a possibility that the infection could go into your ear, which happened to me once, but I found a way to avoid it. You could also accidentally rub infected snot into your
and get an
infection, if you are careless. The physiology of your head may be different from my head and you could experience a problem that I would not have, so it's another risk you must assume. This technique will work for almost any infection of the nose, if you're willing to take the risk.

You can find the recipe on line as well, but I highly recommend the book in order to understand the benefits. It only

Issues for consideration in the selection of therapy include efficacy, safety, incidence of resistance, method of administration, and

It is simple, genital sores, mouth sores, then later
inflammation, this is what they need to see to make the diagnosis. Waiting for
inflammation ruined my life because I was seriously sick and no one would believe me. I couldn't work and I couldn't prove why. If it wasn't for my husband, no one would have helped me. My Rheumotologist told me he didn't believe in this disease when I first met him. It took me a year with full blown symptoms to get him to change his mind.

The ONLY times it has completely cleared was when I would get a cortizone injection in my bad shoulder as well as the one time I was put on a Prednisone treatment for an

What's happening is your body is under a lot of stress to deal with these changes, thus your immune system
. The blisters are something like an allergic reaction, a rash, if you will. I suggest: Clean air in your home. Change your air filters. Make sure dust is cleared out of all corners and tight spots of your home. Keep your skin moist. Dry skin makes the blisters worsen in itching. Use hydrocortisone on the blisters (See below for detailed link) http://en.wikipedia.

Christmas has been here and gone already! It was a day and weekend filled with opened gifts, laughter, family time, and more food than you could imagine! Christmas time, as we've already established, is one of the best times to have a wedding, so if you're getting married around Christmas of 2015, than you're still fresh with fabulous Christmas ideas! Today we're going to look at a few cake ideas that will really top off the festive approach to your 2015 Christmas wedding!
**Christmas Cupcakes:** Back in September, we had gone over [different styles of wedding cakes](http://theplungeproject.com/style-pretty-wedding-cake-version) that were that different, original, and personal. Cupcakes were one of the many ideas that we had discussed, and for a Christmas wedding, this is still a fabulous idea! Here are just a few different design ideas that I thought were absolutely adorable!
{{> caption image='https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4092/5224403422_c9980c82bb_z.jpg' caption='Christmas Themed Wedding Cupcakes by Victoria Watkin-Jones' link='https://www.flickr.com/photos/victoria_made/5224403422′}}
* **An Assortment**: Not only can you have an assortment of flavors, but you can also have a smorgasbord of different designs as well! Opt for having an arrangement of snowflake cupcakes on chocolate iced vanilla cupcakes, stockings on chocolate buttercream iced cupcakes, and snowmen on vanilla cupcakes with a cream cheese icing. A selection will keep everyone happy and content!
* **Fondant**: With fondant, you can really play with the designs. There are different types of fondant, so make sure you go for a taste test and decide on which one you like the best. With the fondant cupcakes, you can design gorgeous snowflakes, presents, and anything else you can think of.
* **Christmas Cakes:** The wedding cake is pretty much the center of attention when it comes to food decorations. Make sure you really amp up the style by going for a super fancy, uber Christmas-y wedding cake. A few ideas include:
* **Santa and His Reindeer:** If you want super ornate and incredibly attractive, than this one is for you! Try going for a multi-tiered cake, placed on a stand that looks like a sled, find a Santa to place in the front seat, a couple/few white reindeer to place in front of the sled, and you've got Santa bringing his gift of cake! This is honesty my favorite idea by far!
* **Ornate and Floral:** If you love the traditional wedding cake with flowers gently and perfectly placed on your wedding cake, than opt for this style! Again, you'll want a multi-tiered wedding cake [topped with Poinsettia's or red roses](http://theplungeproject.com/week-christmas-christmas-wedding-dos), gold ribbon, pearls, and ornaments to complete the look.
* **Christmas Wedding Cake Toppers:** You don't have to have a topper on your wedding cake, but in my opinion, it really "tops off the look", no pun intended. With the right cake topper, you can give your cake a completed look, finishing the theme with a perfect touch. A few topper ideas include:
* Mr & Mrs. Clause
* Holly and Cranberries
* Mistletoe
* A (classy) Snowman
* Snowflakes
A Christmas wedding is perfect, and since Christmas is still fresh in the air, you'll be able to find all the best ideas and decorations for your 2015 Christmas wedding!

FL-500: Last on the trail
Written by: Karoline Leistad-Jonas/ transl. Elisabeth Simonsen
Date: 13.03.2012 11:40
Han har 7 hunder i spannet, og i følge han selv er dette unge hunder. Hans mål er å gjennomføre løpet for og få erfaring som kjører og til hundene. Dette er hans første Finnmarksløp, han har tidligere deltatt i Alta to-dagers i 2010.
Kai Arne Berg from Svanvik is currently holding the last place in the track in FL-500. Right now he is at Jergul, where he is resting for the mandatory 6 hours, before he continues towards Alta.
Photo: Jørn Losvar
Handler Maria Torheim at checkpoint Jergul, can rapport of good spirits in both musher and dogs. The dogs have good appetite and are eager. They are all young and their challenge is the difficult conditions in the track. The musher is satisfied with the effort of the dogs, and is according to Maria in a great mood. The goal is to get to Alta.
Photo: Jørn Losvar
-To be first or last is not always where the focus is. Markus Leistad winner of FL-500 2002, says that for most mushers the priority is their own race and dog team. A good run though is important and if that matches the objective of the race, most mushers are satisfied.

Peter Mumford
Peter Mumford trained as a stage designer at the Central School of Art in London, studying under Ralph Koltai, in the late Sixties. In 1969, during his last year at art school, he became a founder member of the mixed media experimental theatre group Moving Being (director Geoff Moore), with whom he worked as designer and lighting and projection designer on all productions until 1978, moving to Cardiff with the company in 1972. After that he continued to work with Moving Being on a project basis but began a wider based freelance career. In the late Seventies he became a part time member of the faculty of the London Contemporary School of Dance at The Place, teaching a course relating choreography to visual art and design and also at that time began collaborating with a number of choreographers in their early work at The Place, such as Siobhan Davies, Richard Alston, Ian Spink and many others. When the company Second Stride was formed in the early Eighties Peter was a founding collaborator as lighting designer - another working relationship that would last for nearly another decade. In the Eighties, Peter designed the lighting for a huge number of dance works for companies such as London Contemporary Dance Theatre, Rambert, Second Stride, Siobhan Davies Co. and many other individual projects at that time. He also continued to design projects with Moving Being like the major site specific "Mabinogion" - first at Carnarvon Castle and later in Cardiff.
His work gradually expanded into opera, designing sets/costumes and lighting for
"Parsifal "for WNO in 1978 and then into drama more towards the end of the Eighties.
"The Overgrown Path" at The Royal Court in 1985 was the first straight play he lit in London.
In 1987 he co-founded Dancelines Productions, a film/TV production company committed to creating and producing dance for television. He produced and directed many programmes/films for Dancelines for both Channel Four and BBC2 up until the mid- Nineties and during that period the work won many awards including OperaScreen IMZ 1991- Best New Work / DanceScreen 1992 - Best Studio Adaptation/ Video Danse Grand Prix 1994 - best series (Dance House) and an Emmy Nomination for the TV adaptation of Mathew Bourne's Swan Lake which Peter directed.
The last real work in this area was the series "48 Preludes and Fugues" (Bach) for BBC2 in 2002 - 48 short films, of which Peter directed 24 and was lighting director on the rest.
His work is now predominantly in the area of lighting design, but still designs sets on certain projects and most recently was Director of Photography for Francesca Zambello's film of "The Little Prince".
He has directed on occasion in the theatre as well as film/TV.
Productions include "Hamletmachine" and "No, to the Yes-sayer" (Jasager/Neinsager); both at St. Stephens Theatrespace in Cardiff. "The Man with the Foot-soles of Wind"; Almeida Opera. "Earth and the Great Weather"; Almeida Opera. " L'Heure Espangnol" & L'Enfant et Les Sortileges"; Opera Zuid.
Work in the theatre nowadays, is spread fairly equally across drama, dance (ballet) and opera.
Most recent work includes: "The Ferryman" (Gielgud Theatre); "42nd Street" (Theatre Royal Drury Lane); "The Children" (Manhattan Theater Club, New York); "John" (National Theatre); "The Ring Cycle" (Opera North); "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (Wyndham's Theatre); "King Kong Live On Stage" (Global Creatures, Australia) for which he won Best Lighting Design at the Helpmann Awards 2013 in Sydney, Australia.

5 Years : From Feb 2013 to Feb 2018
Ableauctions.com Inc. (AMEX:AAC) (the "Company") is releasing
explanatory questions and answers regarding its pending liquidation and
share exchange transaction with Top Favour Limited, SinoCoking's British
Virgin Islands holding company (referred to as "SinoCoking") and the
shareholders of Top Favour Limited, which was approved by the Company's
shareholders on December 30, 2009 and which is scheduled to close at
5:00pm PST on February 5, 2010 (the "Closing Date"). These questions and
answers assume that the closing will take place as scheduled on the
Closing Date and the events described below will occur as planned by
management. Some of the answers to these questions could change if the
events described below do not occur as planned.
Q: What events will occur on the Closing Date?
A: Assuming that the share exchange closes as planned, the Company will
effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of its outstanding common stock, meaning
that each block of 20 shares of common stock will be combined into one
share of common stock; the Company will complete a share exchange in
which approximately 13.2 million post-reverse-split shares of common
stock will be issued to the Top Favour shareholders under the terms of a
share exchange agreement; and the Company will issue approximately 1.2
million new shares of common stock, including warrants, to private
investors for $7 million in gross proceeds.
Q: I am or will be a shareholder of Ableauctions.com, Inc. on
the Closing Date. What will I receive as a result of this transaction?
A: You will be entitled to receive a proportionate share of the
liquidation proceeds from the liquidation of Ableauctions' prior
business, plus you will continue to hold shares of common stock of the
post-transaction entity, to be renamed SinoCoking Coal and Coke Chemical
Industries, Inc., that will be adjusted for the reverse split.
Q: I own 2,000 shares of common stock of Ableauctions.com
prior to the Closing Date. If I hold these shares through the
Closing Date, how many shares of SinoCoking common stock will I own
after the closing?
A: 100 shares.
Q: How will the value of SinoCoking common stock be determined
after the Closing Date?
A: After the Closing Date, it is anticipated that the trading value of
the shares of common stock will depend on the value of SinoCoking (Top
Favour and its subsidiaries), excluding the liquidation value of
Ableauctions. The trading price will be determined by and influenced by
various market factors, all of which will be determined by buyers and
sellers in the marketplace.
Q: Where can I find more information about SinoCoking?
A: Please refer to the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement which was
filed with the SEC on November 27, 2009. This proxy statement contains
information about the business of SinoCoking, including SinoCoking's
financial statements. This proxy statement may be found online by
visiting www.sec.gov.
Q: After the Closing Date, will I be able to trade my "old"
shares of common stock of Ableauctions?
A: No. Assuming that the closing takes place as scheduled, trading of
the Company's common stock will be suspended by NYSE Amex prior to the
opening of the market on February 8, 2010.
Q: Where will the new post-transaction shares of SinoCoking
trade after the Closing Date?
A: The post-transaction shares of common stock of SinoCoking are
expected to be quoted, either the next business day or within several
days following the Closing Date, on the OTC Bulletin Board. If a market
for SinoCoking's common stock develops, the Company expects to list its
common stock on a national exchange.
Q: How will the Company determine which shareholders are
entitled to a distributive share of the liquidation proceeds?
A: Holders of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the
reverse split will be entitled to an appropriate distributive share of
the liquidation proceeds.
Q: I am currently a shareholder of Ableauctions.com, Inc. If
I sell my shares before the reverse split is effected, will I be
entitled to participate in the liquidation proceeds of the Company?
A: No. Only holders of shares immediately prior to the reverse split,
which we expect to be effected at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on February 5,
2010, will be entitled to a distributive share of the liquidation
Q: I am not presently a shareholder of Ableauctions.com, Inc.
If I were to purchase shares of common stock before the effective
date and time of the reverse split, will I be entitled to participate in
the liquidation proceeds of the Company?
A: Yes, as long as you acquired shares of the Company's common stock
prior to the effective date and time of the reverse split, and hold such
shares at the time of the reverse split.
Q: What if I purchase shares of the Company's common stock on
the open market after the effective date and time of the reverse split?
A: Purchasers of the Company's common stock after the effective date and
time of the reverse split will not be entitled to any share of the
liquidation proceeds, and will be treated for all purposes as purchasers
of common stock of the post-transaction entity, SinoCoking.
Q: I am or will be a shareholder of Ableauctions at the
effective date and time of the reverse split. If I sell my shares
after the effective date and time of the reverse split, will I lose my
right to receive proceeds from the liquidation?
A: No. Your right to receive a distributive share of the liquidation
proceeds arises from the fact that you hold shares at the effective date
and time of the reverse split. The right to the liquidation proceeds
will not be freely transferrable, and are not attached to the shares of
common stock. Any person who acquires shares from you will only acquire
rights associated with owning common shares, which is separate and
independent from the right to receive liquidation proceeds. That
purchaser would not obtain any right to the liquidation proceeds; you
would retain that right.
Q: What is the total amount that will be distributed in the
liquidation of the Ableauctions prior business and assets?
A: The Company estimates it will make total distributions of
approximately $1.25 to $1.50 per share from the liquidating entity to
the holders of its shares on February 5, 2010, over an unspecified
period of time. Because the amount of the distributions will be based on
the amount received by the liquidating entity for the sale of the
assets, less the costs, expenses (including expenses related to currency
conversion) and fees attributable to such sales and the expenses
attributable to the liquidating entity, the Company cannot provide more
than an estimate of the distribution amount, based on its current
Q: When will shareholders receive proceeds from the
A: The Company is unable to provide a firm commitment regarding the
timing of the distributions, however, the trustees of the liquidating
entity intend to proceed with the liquidation process with all due
Q: I hold common stock that is represented by a stock
certificate. How do I exchange my pre-transaction certificates
for new stock certificates?
A: Post-reverse split certificates will be issued in exchange for
pre-reverse split certificates relinquished to Interwest Stock Transfer
Company, Inc., the Company's transfer agent. The Company intends to
provide information to all holders of physical share certificates with
specific instructions on how to exchange certificates.
Q: I hold common stock through my broker, and the shares I
hold are not in certificated form. Do I need to do anything in
order to receive new post-transaction shares?
A: No. Stock held in street name will be replaced electronically by your

Use Mass Planting To Create Great Effects
Simple does not mean stupid. Don't underestimate the intelligence behind the less complicated look for gardens.
DESIGN WISE | It's been two decades since gardening became a fashionable endeavor in North America. If we've learned anything during this time, over and above garden history and plant vocabulary, it's that maintaining a garden is damn hard work. Only those who love mucking about in the dirt survive and thrive in the trenches.
This knowledge, plus a fascination with mid-20th-century modernist architecture and the gardens that went along with them, has lead to the pursuit of simple, (and hopefully) low maintenance planting schemes.
The current modern garden is very different from the historic version (CHECK OUT Garrett's Eckbo's California designs from the 1950s), which was as static as an 18th century parterre and—let's be honest—as botanically boring. Today home gardeners and garden design pros come at modernism with serious plant awareness.
Right now, I'm fascinated by the work of two landscape designers who use mass planting to great effect: San Francisco's Andrea Cochran, who will be coming to Vancouver to speak this fall (CLICK HERE to see her gardens) and Belgium's Piet Blanckaert, who designed the artist's garden pictured at the top of the story with just eight different plants (CLICK HERE for a great story on this garden in Garden Design magazine; CLICK HERE to see more of his work).
For anyone with scant amount of time to spend in the garden, a limited palette of long lasting, animated perennials that can take care of themselves (CLICK HERE for our story on Nepata Walker's low, the purple plant pictured above), or grasses that look different with each season (like the large bed of miscanthus, directly above) can be a really smart way, less laborious, easy care to go. —Ron Rule

Criticism is a fact of life and a powerful training tool when we understand how to put it to use. We will almost certainly receive criticism (constructive or otherwise) from a supervisor giving feedback and possibly from a client at some point in our professional career. Add social media into the mix and criticism can be very public, making it even more important to have a strategy for handling the feedback we may receive from those we interact with. Here are five tips to prepare you to gracefully accept criticism
- Rethink the word "criticism". Stay open to hearing a message that may be of value and use it as opportunity to improve. By taking the "feedback" as a professional courtesy, you instantly receive the opportunity to grow your skills, behavior and overall professional image.
- Remain calm. Often our first instinct is to react defensively. Keep your emotions in check and, if necessary, remove yourself from the situation, allowing yourself to cool off and process the feedback. Buy some time by saying, "That's an interesting point; I'd like to think about this information and get back with you by this afternoon." Another reason to stay level headed: If you fly off the handle when a supervisor gives you a critique, it sends a message that you are not prepared to handle pressure. On the other hand, if you accept difficult feedback with a calm and thoughtful demeanor, it shows that you can separate emotion from business – an essential skill for success in the workplace.
- Remember that you are in control of your response. Did you get a negative response to a blog post? Were you insulted by a colleague who gave unsolicited advice on one of your projects? Blasting back with a sharp retort may feel good for an instant, but the feeling won't last, and the argument may escalate by an unprofessional out lash. You are in control of your comments, tweets and updates. Sometimes it's better to walk away (by choosing not to engage) than to interact with an unprofessional fan or follower. If the comment is offensive or worse, don't hesitate to remove it from your fan page and move on with your day.
- Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Do you want a manager who listens to what you have to say and wants to correct the situation, or one who dismisses your concerns and responds with hostility? The manager who accepts a customer's complaint, offers a way to improve the situation and even expresses appreciation for the input will reap benefits many times over. Use this as an example for your own behavior.
- Look for the lesson. Even if you disagree with the critique, be open minded to a different way of thinking. You will gain insight to what others see, which may be very different from your own perspective.
One more tip: Consider thanking the person for his or her input. Even when dealing with an angry customer or fired up boss, a calm and thoughtful response can diffuse the situation and turn a critic into a new ally.

Finley strategy was surprise to ex-coach

Catholic 79, Goucher 64
Jan 24, 2004
TOWSON, MD. -- A big second half enabled Catholic to pull away from a pesky Goucher squad, 79-64, Saturday evening in a Capital Athletic Conference game.
Senior Blair Mills (Hebron, Md./Wicomico) was one of four Cardinals in double digits, scoring a team-high 18 points.
After shooting just 14-of-35 in the first half and clinging to a 35-34 lead at halftime, the Cardinals rebounded by draining 57% (12-of-21) in the second stanza.
A 6-0 run capped off by a Matt Spierenburg (Chambersburg, Pa./St. Maria Goretti) dunk broke a 43-43 deadlock midway through the period.
From there sophomore Matt Tanner (Eldersburg, Md./St. Maria Goretti) would connect on his only three-pointer of the game to give the Cardinals a 67-58 lead with 3:02 to play.
Sophomores Shane Sowden (Wilmington, Del./St. Elizabeth's) chipped in 13 points and six rebounds while Patrick Satalin (Syracuse, N.Y./Westhill) added 10 points and six assists. Senior William Morley (Olney, Md./Good Counsel) contributed 12 points.
Garrett Smith scored a game-high 18 points and nine rebounds for Goucher (9-7, 3-3 CAC).
Catholic hosts York College on Wednesday, January 28th at the DuFour Center in a key CAC matchup at 8 p.m.

Conversing with Dragons: A Celebration of Life and Art by Robyn Weiss
"When I read her manuscript for the first time, I was unprepared for the concrete images: the sap from a tapped maple, the houses and butterflies and rooms she shows us. I didn't expect mature observances from someone so young. Robyn is engaged in the world through these poems. In the clever parody of Poe, in her imagined banter at a men's shelter, and other narrative poems, we find her examining, critiquing, exploring the world, the people in it, and her relationship to it. We find her taking on characters in persona poems where she molds her voice into those of husbands, wives, laborers, and vagabonds. She resists the common urge of young writers to shut out the world and look only inward for voice..." Barbara DeCesare Poet and Writer author Jigsaw EyeSore "...often by the time our child reaches her teen years, that door is closed to us and we have very limited access to our child's view of the world. Robyn's writings give us a portal into the mind of a teen confronted with life and her views of the ever-widening world around her." Jacki Edens

These pumpkin bars are the slightly less sweet cousin of these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars I posted last week. I was recipe testing both at the same time, and just couldn't resist making a chocolate-y treat AND a scrumptious counterpart.
I love enjoying these bars anytime of day, but they just happen to make an amazing breakfast.
They were a breakfast game changer for me. I am usually a pancake person – from pumpkin pancakes to banana nut – I just can't get enough pancakes. Until lately.
I got in a pancake rut, so these were a highly anticipated, very much needed, hit-the-spot kind of breakfast that make me so happy!
My favorite way to enjoy them is with a dollop of chocolate mousse, roasted kabocha squash, a drizzle of peanut butter, and a bunch of frozen raspberries. Yep, breakfast is my favorite meal. Go big or go home.
So anyways, essentially these are the Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars, but with a bit less spice and sweetness and no chocolate chips. But, still mouthwatering delicious according to all of my taste-testers (and some even preferred these!) Basically, both recipes were a huge hit, so why not make both?
Enjoy them for breakfast, dessert, a snack, a side for lunch, whenever, wherever.
So, how do you feel about this being the third pumpkin recipe in a row (did you see these no-bake Pumpkin Spice Energy Bars?) Hopefully you're okay with it, but just in case, I've got a variety of posts coming your way in November. And, for all my pumpkin-lovers, you'll be happy to hear that a Pumpkin Chocolate Mousse will be posted soon.
But back to these pumpkin bars – they're naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and sweetened with banana and medjool dates. Vegans, omit the egg and use one full banana, rather than just a half as the recipe calls for below – they come out a little less fluffy but still amazing.
Also, this is one of those super quick recipes where you dump everything in the food processor, turn it on, and pour in the pan. So easy.
As I mentioned in the Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bar post, I use cashew butter because it's neutral and acts as a wonderful base for pumpkin puree. I've also made these with natural peanut butter but felt they tasted too strongly of peanut butter and less of pumpkin, although my husband loved them. I'm sure almond butter would also work and would likely lend a more neutral base than peanut butter.
Do what works for you, and please leave a comment if you try with another nut or seed butter and let us know how it goes!
- ¾ cup of unsalted cashew butter
- 8 large, soft medjool dates*
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ spotted banana
- 1 egg**
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
- Process for about 30 – 60 seconds until the batter is just mixed together and then wipe down the sides.
- Process again until the batter is smooth.
- Pour into a parchment paper-lined*** 8x8 glass baking pan. Smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes****, or until slightly browned on top and a fork comes out clean.
- Let cool for 20 – 25 minutes.
** Vegan? Leave out the egg and use 1 full banana, rather than just a half. The bars will not turn out as fluffy, but they'll still taste delicious!
***I line my baking pans with parchment paper so I don't have to use any spray, but do what works best for you.
****I take them out at 30 minutes because my family likes them better as super moist, but if you like them best with a chewier edge, leave in for a few more minutes.
Products I used:
- Medjool dates
- Cashew Butter or 365 brand from Whole Foods
- Pumpkin puree
- Vanilla extract
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Pink Himalayan salt
- Food Processor

"All men should strive to learn before they die
What they are running from, and to, and why."
— James Thurber
Our belief systems – how we make sense of the world — are installed in us at a very young age. We absorb them from our parents. We learn them in school and in our religious institutions and from the examples we encounter in literature and the arts and popular culture. To some extent they might even be transmitted to us genetically. They tell us how we should behave, what we should value, and why. They are the foundation on which we construct our lives and create our personal stories.
When we're young, many of us question and challenge those belief systems, but seldom in a way that causes us to reject them entirely or for long. Youthful rebellion usually flares, then fades as adult responsibilities assert their primacy. People go to work, get married, start families, buy houses, take vacations, get divorces, change jobs, and on and on in the stream of life. We are distracted. And time passes.
In spite of the totality and durability of our belief systems and life's seductive distractions, questions eventually arise. They are cracks in the foundation, small at first, but impossible to dismiss. When the old answers don't work, we are driven to find new ones. We feel out of balance, unmoored, disconnected from the world as we have always understood it.
Or sometimes, possibly through personal loss or unexpected joy, life suddenly reveals a flash of its core. And that single moment of perception triggers a spiritual exploration.
Either way, we become Seekers.
Whether it happens in an instant or through an accumulation of smaller realizations, life compels us to uncover that elusive new truth that will make all the pieces fit together again.
Seekers aren't simply curious. They're not involved in a casual intellectual exercise. They're driven to get at the essence of something. They don't want to waste the rest of their lives in empty effort or false accomplishment. They're after meaning.
I think there is some of the Seeker in all of us eventually, even if we aren't consumed by a philosophical quest. The older we get, the more we are drawn to eliminate the distraction and clarify our existence. We want to make a difference, large or small.
Have you already settled beneath your own personal banyan tree, involved in a spiritual reinvention? If so, I'd like to hear how you got there and how the quest is going. Nothing is more essential for The Rest of Your Life.

If a parent is in arrears in paying child support, the Florida Department of Revenue will automatically charge interest on the amount in arrears. This can cause child support payments to drag on for years past the child's 18th birthday and make it very difficult to finally get your child support obligation paid off.
However, it is possible to get the interest on the arrears waived and make your child support situation more manageable. For the Department of Revenue to agree to waive the interest, the other parent must agree to it and there must be no money owed to the state. If the other parent is agreeable, get started by contacting your attorney and getting the proper forms filled out.
Contact us today for a free no obligation consultation.

Rangers pitcher sees game as a gift
Richard wouldn't accept life without sports after surgery for brain tumor.
Updated 10:03 am, Thursday, May 26, 2011
There's no visible scar when Elijah Richard takes off his Smithson Valley baseball cap.
Hair covers any reminder of the surgery he had a year ago to remove a tumor on the right side of his brain.
A surgery he was told would end his playing career.
"There's a metal plate and some screws under there," he says. "They covered up the hole that they drilled in my skull pretty well."
Richard might feel it on a cold day. But that's about it.
The brain tumor was removed, and Richard quickly recovered. He was cleared to play baseball in December and has since become an integral part of the Rangers' playoff run this season as their No. 2 pitcher with a 9-2 record and 2.12 ERA.

Smithson Valley (33-9) is in the Class 4A regional semifinals against Corpus Christi Calallen (33-4), playing a best-of-3 series that begins at 7 tonight in Sinton.
Richard, a junior right-hander, is basking in a deep postseason run with a Smithson Valley team that missed the playoffs last season.
And wait until he walks on the field. That's when the impact of his recovery sinks in.
"His face lights up like a kid seeing a field for the first time," Smithson Valley coach Chad Koehl said. "He almost had the game taken away from him, and you can feel how much it means to him now."
Richard had suffered seizures beginning at the age of 6 and took medication until he was in high school. He said doctors had discovered a cyst on his skull, but he hadn't been concerned about it for years.
In March 2010, he went to see doctors because his right eye was dilated. They discovered a benign brain tumor about the size of a quarter.
When the doctor told his father, Don, that Elijah needed surgery, one of his first questions was whether Elijah could keep playing sports.
Doctors said no, because of concerns about possible head injuries.

Until then, Elijah had been an active football and baseball player.
"Losing sports was the devastating part," Don said. "All of his friends are (teammates). You think back to the Little League games you took him to."
Elijah said that whenever doctors told him he wouldn't play sports again, they always left it open with a chance he could return.
That was all he needed to hear.
He was walking around the hospital four days after surgery and was working out a month later. Although there was little chance he could play football in the fall, Richard practiced with the team in two-a-days and participated in all noncontact drills.
Once he was told he wouldn't be able to play football again, Richard shifted his focus to baseball.
"The surgery made me work harder," Richard said. "It made me understand how badly I wanted to play sports. Here at Smithson Valley, like a lot of places, sports are about being in a family. I wanted that back."
Richard's first trip back to the Smithson Valley mound came during preseason tryouts in January — less than a year after brain surgery. He began as a part-time starter and was elevated to No. 2 starter early in district play.
His best outing came last week, when he tallied 10 strikeouts in a 2-1 win against Cedar Park Vista Ridge to clinch a series sweep for the Rangers.
Smithson Valley teammate Matt Hilston said Richard "never talks about having a tumor." Richard doesn't need to talk about it either.
His scars are covered, the metal plate is there, and as of now, his biggest concern is the baseball playoffs.
It's all he could hope for.
"A lot of prayer went into it," Richard said. "Every time I walk out there, I realize that baseball is a gift."

Sen. Chuck Schumer's endorsement of President Obama's use of the IRS to target and harass Tea Party, conservative and evangelical nonprofits is further evidence that many contemporary liberals are comfortable using government power to squelch political opponents. They are even willing to steamroll one of America's most cherished rights -- freedom of speech -- to thwart people with views contrary to their own. Speaking to the Center for American Progress last week, Schumer decried the Tea Party's influence on House Republicans and declared that "there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies -- we must redouble those efforts immediately."
By "redouble," does Schumer mean expand the IRS efforts beyond the more than 200 groups already targeted and harassed? The tax agency possesses a rich trove of tools with which it can make life miserable for those expressing unapproved views. So, does he have in mind censoring what can be said or published by these groups? Or is the New York senator thinking more along the lines of seizing assets from individuals associated with the proscribed groups? Might he be planning on introducing a Tea Party tax to be collected by the IRS?
Even more important, which "other government agencies" does Schumer have in mind? The FBI? The Pentagon? The National Security Agency? Since they don't handle tax matters, what exactly would Schumer have those other federal agencies do to the Tea Party groups? Whatever the specifics might be, Talking Points Memo, a well-sourced and influential liberal blog, described Schumer's plan as being intended to "crush" the Tea Party. Schumer's defenders will say "crush" was meant metaphorically, but there was nothing metaphorical about how the IRS abused its power against the Tea Party during the 2010 and 2012 campaigns.
Schumer's comments should spark some serious reflection among journalists as well. It's not coincidental that the people who have no qualms about siccing federal agencies on political opponents also have no qualms about using the government to harass and intimidate the news media. As Jill Abramson, executive editor of The New York Times, recently noted, "The Obama administration has had seven criminal leak investigations. That is more than twice the number of any previous administration in our history. It's on a scale never seen before [emphasis added]. This is the most secretive White House that, at least as a journalist, I have ever dealt with."
It's difficult to think of two entities that are less alike than the liberal mainstream media and the Tea Party. Members of the former reside mainly in the affluent precincts of the Northeast and Pacific Coast, and the latter mostly attracts salt-of-the-earth types in the American heartland. The one thing they share, however, is a capacity for upsetting the best-laid plans of ambitious politicians, either by voting against them or by reporting facts that undermine official spin. That threatens the Barack Obamas and Chuck Schumers of American politics. Maybe it's time the journalists and activists recognize their common jeopardy.

Let the Tablet speculation continue! In the most recent tidbit of Tablet news, Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner issued a research note this morning stating that the manufacturing process for Apple's rumored tablet is set to get under way in February, implying a late March or early April release for the device.
Our checks into Apple's supply chain indicate the manufacturing cogs for the tablet are creaking into action and should begin to hit a mass market stride in February. At this stage Apple appears to be sizing its supply chain to support production of as many as 1M units per month.
Reiner goes on to state that the tablet will sport a 10.1-inch LCD screen and not an OLED screen as previously reported. And lastly, Reiner writes that Apple has been in serious discussions with publishers with "very attractive proposals for distributing their books." Specifically, the revenue split proposed by Apple is 70-30, just like how it is on the iTunes App Store, and much more favorable than what publishers are currently getting with the Kindle.
Reiner then makes a point of noting that the Kindle has "disgruntled the publishing industry" with contract terms that demand exclusivity, disallow advertising, and give Amazon the bulk of the profits.
"The tablet is set to change that," Reiner writes. "It should also make ebooks more relevant for education by simplifying functions such as scribbling marginalia."
Lastly, Reiner writes that Apple's tablet could very well add anywhere from $.50 to $.75 cents in earnings to Apple's bottom line during the second half of 2010.
Reiner says he hasn't updated his current model on Apple's valuation to reflect the tablet, but he thinks it could easily contribute between 50 and 75 cents in incremental per-share earnings to Apple's bottom line in the second half of the 2010 calendar year.
And also jumping on the Tablet rumor bandwagon is Vijay Rakesh from ThinkEquity who writes that Apple's upcoming Tablet will ship in March with 64GB of flash memory.
And so the plot thickens.

I'm tossing this out there for folks who might be interested in a weekend mini-hang at the Upland Island Wilderness in the Angelina National Forest of Texas.
The reason it will have to be a mini-hang will be because of relatively short notice on dates. I'm looking at finding a weekend in August or September to do this (it will be hot, too, so that will also pare down group size), but I don't know when yet.
I signed up for a "summer" soccer league and I still don't know when the season starts/ends. I probably won't know more on that until the end of this month, so there may only be a couple weeks' notice.
I also want folks to be aware that I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA about the presence of trails here. The trip may be partially or entirely off-trail.
Here's the map the USFS published for the area. As you can see, there are no trails labeled. But being that there are several parking areas, I imagine that there are probably at least some social trails heading into the forest for some distance at each one.
Here's some basic information about the place...not a lot. There's a little bit more detail posted here.
I want to visit the area described here, this much I know.
If you come on this trip, you'd better bring some long tree straps!The area's most distinctive geological feature is a 2,000-acre ridge of Catahoula formation in the south central portion of the wilderness, nearly surrounded by creeks and 250 feet above the bottomlands at its highest point. Associated with the ridge is the largest undisturbed longleaf pine-bluejack oak parkland in the world; along its slopes, groundwater seeps from the impermeable Catahoula layer sustain rare species of orchids, club mosses, liverworts and ferns, as well as all four Texas genera of carnivorous plants.
The wilderness area is also home to some of the largest trees in the United States, including a longleaf pine that is twenty-seven feet in circumference, the nation's largest snow-bell and barberry hawthorn trees, and the largest Florida basswood tree ever reported. A 165-foot tall cherrybark oak and a shagbark hickory within the preserve are among the largest trees in Texas. The main northern approach to Upland Island is via Forest Road 303 from State Highway 63. Southern access is from Forest Road 314, one-half mile east of U.S. Highway 69. Several trails traverse the area, and limited primitive camping is allowed at selected sites.

With $4-a-gallon gas and diesel at the pumps now and their prices sure to rise, natural gas is looking like a sure bet to replace diesel as the fuel of choice for the nation's high-mileage truck fleet.
Given the boom in North America's production of natural gas, there is a glut of it and it is selling at low prices not seen in a decade. Once converted to compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) for use in compatible engines, it costs about 42% less than diesel on a per-gallon basis. The Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration forecasts that this difference is likely to be long-lasting.
But so far, natural-gas-powered long-haul trucks haven't been a practical alternative to diesel, since there are few natural gas refueling stations nationwide.
Its use has been limited to specific types of fleets, such as taxis or light delivery trucks, operating within a specific range of a fuel station.
But that's changing as the trucking industry is the early phases of major change.

For one thing, engine makers, such as Cummins (CMI), already the leading natural-gas heavy-engine maker, and truck makers, such as PACCAR (PCAR), are seeing such big demand from truck-fleet managers that they are shifting production capacity to build more engines and trucks that burn CNG or LNG.
"We expect this sector to be a growth driver for both companies, though (it's) starting off a pretty small base at present," said Jim Corridore, an S&P Capital IQ equity analyst, in a research note. "These trucks and their engines are priced at a significant premium to diesel engines, but they can provide savings since there is such a big divergence between the cost of natural gas and the cost of diesel fuel."
Others are seen to benefit as well. Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), originally backed by financier and natural gas advocate T. Boone Pickens, said in February that it has partnered with truck maker Navistar International (NAV) to offer customers a comprehensive engine/truck/fuel package. Customers can lease natural gas fueled trucks from Navistar (powered by a Cummins engine), as well as contract for fuel bought from Clean Energy's 257 fueling stations.
Clean Energy also plans to build a network of 150 LNG truck-fueling stations along major truck routes that will allow LNG-powered trucks to travel coast-to-coast.
And Canada's Westport Innovations (TSX:WPT), a developer of natural-gas fuel-injection technology, is in a joint-venture deal with Cummins to design an engine, based on a Cummins diesel engine, that will burn CNG, LNG or bio-methane. It is expected to come to market early in 2013.
Here are six stocks that should benefit from the trucking industry's shift from diesel fuel to natural-gas in the coming years:
1. Cummins (CMI)

Another thing that Nagasaki has been famous for is the influence it had as a major port city. Nagasaki received lots of foreign trade, manly Portuguese, from the 15th century. For example, Nagasaki is famous for Kasutera, which is a Japanese cake of Portuguese origin.
Because of this, many Portuguese missionaries came to Nagasaki. Combined with the distance from Tokyo, there was a large resistance to the ban on Christianity that existed in Japan from the mid-17th century. Even after intense persecution led to the 26 Martyrs being executed, Christians formed underground communities, worshiping for 200 years in secrecy.
Soon after the ban on Christianity was lifted, Bishop Petitjean built the Oura Church. It is said that after opening this church, he met with a group of people who had been worshiping in secrecy. Pope Pius IX declared that the continuity of Christianity under 200 years of persecution was "the miracle of the Orient". Oura Church is now a designated national treasure of Japan.
Next to Oura Church is the Glover Gardens. The Glover Gardens are another example of the Ijinkan (designated foreigners' residence), similar to the one in Kobe.
The view from the top was quite beautiful. You can see that similar to Kobe and Yokohama, Nagasaki is still a robust port town.
I later went to Chinatown. Along with Kobe and Yokohama, Nagasaki Chinatown is considered one of the 3 major Chinatowns in Japan.
Going to Nagasaki Chinatown = eat Chanpon. Chanpon is a noodle soup which is different from ramen in that the noodles are cooked in the soup. Chanpon is a regional specialty of Nagasaki.
Nagasaki Chinatown is quite small, though. Yokohama Chinatown is a huge city with a thriving Chinese community, but Nagasaki is really a tourist area with lots of good thing to eat.
Next up, my visit to Dazaifu!
