Another thing I can do with this data is put together team history timelines, such as this one for the Boston Bruins. I added lines to indicate the Orr/Esposito Era, as well as the Bourque/Neely/Oates Era. Interestingly, 2 of the top 10 possession teams in the last 60 years by this metric were the 1993-94 and 1994-95 Bruins teams. Also among the top 10, ironically, were the 1977-78 Bruins, the first year after the departure of Orr and Esposito.

Feb 28 2010 The first annual "Indiclad"
On Thursday, February 18, 2010, the first International Indian Classical Dance Festival, "Indiclad", was organized at the ISKCON Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra "Manimandir" at Imphal Manipur.
On Thursday, February 18, 2010, the first International Indian Classical Dance Festival, "Indiclad", was organized at the ISKCON Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra "Manimandir" at Imphal Manipur.
On Sunday, November 29, 2009, devotees from around Mauritius and around the world gathered for the grand opening and "pran pratishtha mahotsav" of the newly constructed Sri Sri Rukmini Dwarakadish Temple, at Triolet, Mauritius
Kaviraj Prabhu was a responsible grihasta. He had imbibed the philosophy of "Krishna Consciousness" and vedic culture, he was quite intelligent and intellectual, and we developed some camaraderie.
The Mayor of Baroda, Sri Balkrishna Shukla, inaugurated the Rathayatra by sweeping the road infront of the Rath. More than 12 tons of "halava" prasad was distributed to the public from trucks moving behind the Rath.
Apparently the driver of the car did not see - in darkness - a large ten ton lorry (truck), which had broken down, in or on the side of road. At the last minute the driver swerved to avoid the truck.
Once a small village, Ludhiana town was created by one of the Moghul Emperors of India, several hundred years ago. Now, with a population of approximately 40 lakhs (four million), Ludhiana is the biggest city of Punjab State in India.
On the most auspicious day of Sri Radhastami, September 20, 2007, the transcendental appearance day of Srimati Radharani, ISKCON at Punjabi Bagh in the Western part of New Delhi performed the "pranpratishtha" of Their Lordships Sri Sri Krishna Balaram and Sri Sri Radha Radhika Raman.
Approximately fifty full time devotees live at the ISKCON Farm and Krishna Balaram Mandir at Bon Accueil. The community is sustained by preaching programs in various towns in the East and North of Mauritius and by a sweet stall and "Govinda's restaurant" located in the town of Flacq, the largest commercial town of Eastern Mauritius.
The new goshalla is located on the Northern border of Hare Krishna land, towards the "backside" of the property, where the grand temple of Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundar is located on the Eastern side, facing a large, divided road.
On Monday, July 16, 2007, ISKCON Baroda once again, for the twenty sixth year running, observed the annual Jagannath Rathayatra festival on the "Rathayatra day", the Second day of month of "Aashaadh", during the fortnight of the waxing moon
Located two hundred kilometers southeast of Bangalore, Salem is home to a very enthusiastic group of ISKCON devotees, mostly young brahmacharis, who have recently relocated to a new property, a three-acre plot of land, just a half kilometer from Periyaar University.
On ekadashi day, April 27, 2007, at holy Mayapur Dham, Bhakta Harish Iyer, a resident of BACE, New Delhi, who was at Mayapur to take first initiation from HH Jayapataka Maharaj during the Nrsimha Chaturdashi festival, lost his life in the Ganga while saving the life of his sister.
Before I begin to describe the conference, I would like to publicly thank both Sriman Bimal Krishna Prabhu and Sriman (Dr.) Ganga Narayan Prabhu, who are the co-Presidents of ISKCON Ujjain, for so kindly hosting myself and my "party" at the newly constructed guest house there.
Narmada Swami joined ISKCON at Juhu, Bombay, during 1981, after having met Bombay devotees during the Rathayatra festival organized by ISKCON at Surat, Gujarat. The Rathayatras organized at Surat during 1980 and 1981 were grand events, which were attended by hundreds of thousands of members of the public!

Atlas Genius | Trojans
Fellow bloggers over at typmanogram have a great ear for catching some of the finer tracks that can hit the daily submission box. One of their latest discoveries is the upbeat jam above from Australia's Atlas Genius, featuring a great set of head-bobbing guitar riffs and a feel-good beat. While a comparison to Phoenix is an easy RIYL (recommended if you like) route, this track is definitely strong enough to stand on its own merit.
Far as I can tell from the band's tumblr, Trojans has been doing very well - it looks like they're gearing up for a follow-up single and, I would imagine, a full album somewhere down the line. This is good stuff - grab the track via bandcamp and follow them on twitter for the latest updates.

Mila Kunis opened up to US Cosmopolitan and revealed their ideal date night.
She said they have this thing called 't-shirt night' where they "wear jeans and a white t-shirt and go on a date."
They can go wherever they like bowling, a fancy dinner, cheese shop, or just walking around. The only rule is they HAVE to wear jeans and a white t-shirt.
Okay then!

At Home with Creature Comforts: Nesting & Nurturing
Inspiration collection from Ez's home
In honor of Mother's Day month, we're celebrating moms and home life here in Home & Garden Buzz.
All month, I'll be featuring guest posts by some of my favorite home- and garden-loving mamas. Each mom will be sharing snapshots from her home life and a guest post about what home means to her.
Today I welcome Ez from the blog Creature Comforts.
Ez, what does home mean to you?
To me home is all about comfort, security and memory making. As a kid, my mom, little sister, and I moved a lot, but fortunately each new home was always filled with memorable moments with one another that I now love to recall and share with my daughter (like raking and jumping in the fall leaves with my mom. We don't get many fall-like leaves here in California, so it's a great story to tell).
Now that I am a parent myself I make a big effort to create moments with my daughter that she will be able to take with her and perhaps share with her kids one day. We do a lot of hands-on crafts and activities with one another, and perusing old articles from my magazine collection is always great inspiration for us.
My hope is that no matter where my daughter and I may live throughout the years, that she will always feel that she is home.
About Ez:
Ez and her daughter, past and present
Ez (pronounced Ee-zee) is mother to a 10-year old daughter, author of the blog Creature Comforts, dabbler in photography, and owner of two online shops (Wren & Chickadee for her photographic prints and PDF downloads and Nice Package for creative packaging supplies).
Thank you so much, Ez. Memory making, yes! That's the good stuff. Readers, stay tuned all month long, as several moms share photos and words about their home lives.

John J Phelan Jr, the former New York Stock Exchange chairman credited with managing the chaos of the "Black Monday" market crash of 1987, has died at the age of 81.
The NYSE Euronext and Mr Phelan's family confirmed that he died on Saturday, but the cause of death was not disclosed.
A former marine who worked as trader for years before leading the exchange, Mr Phelan was best known for keeping the markets open following the historic crash on October 19 1987. That day, stocks suffered what is still the largest single-day percentage drop, with the Dow Jones industrial average crashing nearly 23%.
It was considered Mr Phelan's finest moment. Those who were there say panic gripped Wall Street as trading volumes soared, orders littered the floor and the Dow plunged. But Mr Phelan worked with calm authority and resisted calls to close the exchange, which he knew would breed further panic. Later that day, he rang the closing bell himself, demonstrating leadership at a time when the eyes of the world were on the exchange.
"I think he went a long way in protecting us from a much worse situation," said James Rutledge, managing partner of Rutledge Securities Group, who was there for the crash.
The following day, pressure to close the market continued but Mr Phelan walked the floor, cheering traders on. Meanwhile, he worked closely with the Federal Reserve to convince banks to keep credit lines open so trading could continue and pressure on the market would ease.
President Ronald Reagan later heralded Mr Phelan and his staff's work in a letter Mr Phelan read aloud from the podium of the exchange. Many who were there say it was this kind of visible leadership that defined him.
Mr Phelan was regarded as an intelligent and calm man who derived his authority from experience. Having worked at nearly every level, he was familiar with the market's innermost workings. As an official on the floor, people regularly sought him out because they saw him as a knowledgeable and fair resource.
He served as exchange president from 1980 to 1984 and then as chairman from 1984 to 1990.
The New York native is survived by his wife Joyce and three sons John, Peter and David.

Universal Studios exclusive
Evac is a movie verse deluxe figure which I believe is an exclusive to the Universal Studios Transformers ride.
I believe Evac is supposed to the car people get to sit in during the ride.
While my wife and I vacationed in Florida last week I picked him in the gift shop of the ride.
Unfortunately the ride was not yet open to the public, but they were beta testing to staff members.
As a deluxe figure, he's not bad, but he's not exactly mind blowing either.
His robot mode looks good, his knee joints don't bend all of the way, and mine has a tendency to have his feet fall off, but it's not too often.
Evac is one of the few Cybertronian vehicles in the movieverse line, which is a nice touch.
I like that green cell design on his side, and the rocket thruster at the back of the car.
One draw back for the car mode is that his robot arms are part of the under carriage, and if the front wheel suspension is not swiveled low enough away from the wheel well the arms will prevent the car from rolling.
He ran about $24, which a lot more than what I would pay for a deluxe class figure, but I figured I was on vaca, and he was an exclusive, so I splurged.
I'm happy I bought Evac. I think he's a nice addition to my collection.

Puff Pastry Ideas
- Candy Jul 19, 2007 11:06 AM
I guess I am just the party girl this month. I have a Bon Voyage party, I'm green with jealousy, for members of our dining group. It is a week from tomorrow and I have a superfluity of Dafour Puff Pastry (the all butter sort) on hand. Anyone have some favorite recipes that usese puff pastry. The only criteria is that it must be fnger food. No forks allowed. Normally I'd do a big batch of chao gio, the Viet. spring rolls but we just has an Asian put luk a few weeks ago so I think I need to head in another direction. It can be anything. Ideas?
Do you have tiny Vol au Vent cutters? You could make a whole bunch and then fill them with whatever hot savory filling you wished. Sur La Table or a good specialty shop may have them. Try http://www.lacuisineus.com/
The late much-lamented MacKenzie's Bakeries in New Orleans sold tiny ones, no more than an an inch and a quarter across, and they were a mainstay of cocktail parties in the City, filled with fine oyster and crabmeat concoctions.
I found tiny vol au vent cutters in various shapes when that bakery chain closed and have been making my own ever since. A very small amount of anything goes a long way inside those little pastry shells that look so elegant.
how about some anchovy straws. Roll the pastry, lay anchovies in lines, more pastry on top, cut through the anchovies in to thin strips then bake. Or use for some savoury palmiers - just be careful not to add too much filling. Anchovy/parmesan, sundried tomato paste/feta. alsorts of combos.
Mini olive and tomato tarts. hmmm, what else, mini parmesan croissant thingies.
Any of the tarts in the SUNAY SUPPERS AT LUCQUES cookbook many of us raved about would be wonderful. They start with puff pastry, are easy to make, and can be cut into squares to eat with your fingers (which is how I always serve them...and I serve them a lot.)
I make one with grated Gruyere, sliced proscuitto, and chopped fresh sage. Roll them up, slice, and bake in a 400 oven for 10-12 minutes. I also like sauteed mushrooms in garlic and butter and Gorgonzola. Prepare and bake the same.
i like to do sweet things with puff pastry rather then savoury. my fave thing to make is elephant ears. here is a link to the recipe. http://www.puffpastry.com/recipedetai...
this website mainly is using the pepperidge farm puff pastry sheets. but i think it can be adapted to any brand. it is also devoted to just puff pastry recipes. maybe you can find something there that will suit what you are looking for.
re: vttp926
Thanks, there is plenty there to consider.
this is my staple hors doeuvre...cut pastry into squares...my best toppings are sauteed onions with rosemary, sliced tomatoes with basil, and mushrooms sauteed in a bit of butter...anything else will work just as well...pile toppings on squares and bake till golden brown...these can sit around till you're ready to pass around...everyone loves them and always ask for the recipe...have fun
These are always a big hit, and super easy to make.
Mix 1 8oz package of softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp. sugar. Roll out a sheet of puff pastry, and then spread 1/2 of the cream cheese on it, leaving 1" on one long end without cream cheese. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Roll it up the long way, moisten the non-cheese end with water to seal. Do the same with the other sheet. Chill 1 hour, then cut into 1" circles and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Are you ready to learn how to make a headboard that is one-of-a-kind and will be impressive in any room? This DIY project is so easy, and if you are looking for cheap decorating ideas, you can't beat this one!
This headboard was made for a special four year-old little boy, who dreamed of being a cowboy! What I love about this headboard is that it transitions from boys bedroom furniture to teenage bedroom furniture. So, let's get started with this tutorial.
Before we get into the fine details of learning how to make a headboard, you may be wondering where you can find old wood. My husband and I found these planks at the flea market. You can also look in old junk stores, antique stores, and salvage stores.
Wood with character is the first priority and as a general rule, nothing trumps age as far as character goes. The planks we found came from the roof of a 100 year old house that had been demolished.
This wood was perfect! The nail holes and black marks all over the wood just gave it unbelievable character. My husband had to spend some time removing all of the nails and staples.
We made sure to get enough lumber to cover the height and width of our twin headboard.
The standard mattress widths in USA & Canada are: Twin/Single- 39", Double/Full- 54", Queen- 60", King- 76" (Dimensions in inches.)
Normally, you want your headboard to be a little bit wider than the mattress, so in this case we wanted our headboard to be a minimum of 41 inches wide.
We did not want to cut planks to get our width, so we used 8 full planks, which gave us a total of 45 inches.
We made sure our outer most planks were as tall as we wanted the headboard to be. There is not a standard headboard height, so just determine how tall you want your headboard to be based on your design and total height of your bed.
We cut the two outer most planks to our desired height. We then cut two boards to use as the frame to support the planks.
These four pieces formed the basic frame for our headboard.
We then cut the planks to fill in the center of the headboard. It is not necessary for them to be as long as the outer planks. They just need to be long enough to extend below the top of the mattress.
With each cut, we laid the pieces together like a giant puzzle to make sure they fit together the way we expected.
We fastened the pieces together using screws from the back side making sure the screws were not long enough to protrude all the way through to the front. And, since we were using relatively soft wood, we made an effort to stagger the screws to reduce the chances of splitting the wood on the front plank.
And the final touch was putting the diagonal piece on the front. A diagonal piece will always add significant strength, but in this case it was also a critical part of the design to help create the old barn door look. We used the same process of screwing from the back side.
The last step was coating the headboard with several layers of polyurethane in high gloss. Not only does this protect your headboard, but it brings out the rich wood tones beautifully.
Instead of attaching the headboard to the frame, we located two studs in the wall and screwed the headboard directly into the wall.
The total cost for this project was $65. You can't beat that! So, whether you are looking for unique kids bedroom ideas, or you want to learn how to make a headboard for a fun guest room idea, go for it! It will be the centerpiece of the room! And your friends and family will be SO impressed!

When I was dating…this is how it felt sometimes
So, now that I've found him, I thought I would share the key principles & values that make up the 'right guy'. It's taken me a such a long time to find a good one, and every day spent with him I discover something new that makes me smile and think, "this is how it should have been - always" or,…
seriouslybrokenthings said: Thank you for your blog! It GMH.. All the crap, bullshit and idiots we go through... there are some good ones out there :)
Naww…why thank you! :)
Yes…there's a lot of that to go through before you do find a good one it seems. Another case of a painful experience making the reward at the end all worthwhile.
I hope you find a good one too!
Anonymous said: Hey, I was wondering if the submit-a-post feature could be kept anonymous? I have some things I would like to share.
Hi Anon,
I've tried to research this to see if it were possible.
What I found was this:
"By default, Tumblr doesn't allow blog owners to enable anonymous submissions; however, guests can hide their information by providing an anonymous name and email address.
if a user wants to submit anonymously, he should type "anonymous" in the Name field on the submission form. A nickname may be entered, too, as Tumblr does not require the use of real names. Instruct the user that if he does not wish to divulge his email address, he should enter something like "firstname.lastname@example.com." Users also have the option of obtaining a free, temporary email address from email-generator sites such as YopMail.com (link in Resources)."
Not sure if that works or helps you at all? Please let me know!
And if anyone else knows how to make this anonymous, please point me in the right direction also! :)
Following on from my previous post, and while I will be discontinuing to make posts to this blog, I've made a decision on what I'm going to do next and I've now done 2 things:
I have opened up this blog to now receive posts, which again can be submitted from here: dateadreg.tumblr.com/submit, if there are others out there who wish to share their experiences with dregs and/or their dating woes, and if there's a want to keep this alive as a share point. I will be playing editor though, so will provide feedback if there's anything unsuitable being submitted!
The other thing I have done is I've created a new blog, which for those who wish to continue following my updates and journey into more relationship type stuff, as opposed to dating, you can find me here: ltr1i.tumblr.com
I'll be taking my time initially to work out how I am going to evolve my blogging, so do bare with me as I adapt to a new style and perspective.
My posts on Tiger won't share each and every intricate detail as I did with dating, but I'll make a point of updating in a more general and topical sense. I guess I've developed a love and relationship with blogging as well!
Thank you to all my followers of dateadreg for being there at all those moments of anguish and hilarity. It made it all worth my while and I appreciated all the comments and wisdom that had been given to me along the way.
Not quite a good bye, but it is the end of an era. In closing dateadreg, I will say this:
There is an element of monotony involved in dating that will send you to a place on the odd occasion where you just can't take it anymore. You just have to persevere. Take it on as a challenge - something you want to become a pro at. Learn from each and every experience, and let it drive you for improving on the next one. Always be the bigger person that takes charge and calls the shots - and always let go when it's not working, no matter how hard that is. Put yourself first and foremost. Learn to be happy with it being just you. Stay busy - dating is not the one hobby to have! Though dating in itself can keep you busy.
Date as many men as you can in the beginning. Options are the key to narrowing down. And if they all don't work out, just go back to the drawing board and start again! (hence monotony) Juggling men can actually be fun though and makes you feel like the powerful woman you are!
And when you find a good one? Don't play games, just let it flow naturally and try to keep your head. Ride the storm of "what is this?" and see where you come out the other end.
Always approach with caution. Don't jump in too quickly. Don't trust too quickly - let him SHOW you the type of guy he is.
Categorize men into one of two categories: slow lane or fast lane.
Slow lane guys are the relationship potential men - the ones you don't sleep with on a first date. The ones you slowly build rapport with and get to know. The ones you feel either could grown on you, or straight away give you a wow factor. They need to be ticking a lot of boxes to be placed here!
Fast lane guys are those obvious men who aren't after commitment, but you're physically attracted to. They're always good for a bit of short term fun - but make sure you're in control and limit it. There's got to be something about them that makes it easy to decide that you don't want anything more - something small that puts you off.
Have a period of time in your mind that's a 'testing the waters' period - like probation. You need to know for sure that person is someone you want to be with longer term - who isn't going to surprise and shock you with poor behaviour that leaves you hurt and confused. Remember, some men are better than others at hiding their inner arsehole, so moving at lightening speed into a relationship is just bad news.
But if a guy can prove it to you - that it's OK and he won't hurt you, then you have to let the walls down bit by bit - giving him more of you. It's terrifying at first, but it gets easier. And just remember - he's made it clear and OK for you to do this, so if he were to turn off the lights all of a sudden now - then that's not you to blame, as he's just a cruel person. The only thing to do then is to buy yourself a cheesecake and take some time out! Then try to get past your neurosis for the next one…and the next one…
And then all that's left to learn is how to let the right one in…

River, take me along in your sunshine,
Bill Stains, 1978
It has been a genuine pleasure to get to know this rolling old river. And like anyone else who has had the pleasure of canoeing its serene waters we would like to thank those people who are responsible for the protection and care of the St. Croix, from the Minnesota and Wisconsin Department's of National Resources, to the private citizens of the St. Croix River Association, to the staff of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission, but most importantly the women and men of the National Park Service.
Among the staff of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway we would particularly like to acknowledge the help of Jean M. Schaeppi, Supervisory Park Ranger for Interpretation, Michael Lindquist, Marshland District maintenance employee, and Tony Andersen, former Superintendent of the Riverway. Ms. Schaeppi in particular was a valuable partner in gathering historical site information regarding the Riverway. We are also grateful to Don Stevens of the Midwest Regional Office for helping to facilitate this project in many ways, most especially through his helpful and astute comments on the draft of this report.
The research staffs of the Minnesota Historical Society and the State Historical Society of Wisconsin were extremely helpful, especially Harry Miller in Madison who likely knows more about the sources of Wisconsin history than any other living person. Joseph DeRose of the State Historic Preservation Office in Wisconsin played an important role in helping us to develop site specific information on the St. Croix valley. With marvelous state historical societies in both Wisconsin and Minnesota it was a pleasure to engage in this research project.
Another wonderful resource for historical research were the numerous local historical societies and public libraries within the St. Croix valley. Let us single out the Taylor's Falls Historical Society, the Washington County Historical Society, the Prescott Area Historical Society, the Pierce County Historical Society, the History Network of Washington County, and the Burnett County Historical Society. The collections and publications of these wonderful grassroots organizations have kept alive the stories of the people who built the towns, mills, and farms of the St. Croix. We also would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the dean of all those who write about St. Croix history James Taylor Dunn whose love of the river lives on in his fine volume, The St. Croix: Midwest Border River.
We gratefully acknowledge the careful research and insightful writing of Rachel Franklin Weekley of the National Park Service, who prepared an early draft of Chapter 4 and who served as co-author that section in this report. Christine Hiedenrich also played an important role in the completion of this project. Her work establishing the legal property history of a series of potential recreation related historical sites helped to advance the task of evaluating those properties for possible eligibility on the National Register of Historic Places. On a more personal level we would like to thank Thomas McMahon for generously volunteering his services as an unpaid research assistant and the use of his mobile research vehicle ( a.k.a Tom's camper) during our first research trip to the St. Croix valley.
Finally, we would like to thank our friends and colleagues at Loyola University Chicago and Lewis University for their interest in and support for this research effort.

Are you looking for a summer job? Are you a teenager living near lake Geneva, Wisconsin? Do you like action movies?
This might be the job for you!
Here's what you got to do; you've got to jump off a moving boat and land on a dock, run to the mailbox, deliver oncoming mail and grab outgoing mail from said mail box and then run back and jump on the still moving boat before it leaves the dock.
Oh... And knowing how to swim might also be a good idea!
Tryouts are held every year on the lake, to separate those who have what it takes to deliver the goods and those who don't!
Six jumpers are hired annually to work the mail route.
Jumping off and on the moving boat (doing about 5 miles per hour) everyday of the summer season from June 15th to September 15th.
And when they're not "doing their thing", these dare devils are expected to act as tour guides to those coming along for the ride. You see, taking a trip on the mail boat is also one of the top tourist's attractions in the area.
This delivery system was first used on the lake since before roads were built in the 1920's.
Steeping the Lake Geneva area in rich history and making the tour very popular.
Well, that and also the chance of seeing a kid take a long run off a short pier, cause that's something everybody wants to see!

We all know that trees are great absorbers of CO2 and the idea of increasing the planting of trees to cheap cialis super active act as carbon sinks, especially in areas around coal plants and http://jaygalbraith.com/selling-levitra-online other offenders, has been floated around for a while. But can you make a better tree? A Columbia University professor thinks so. He and his company, Global Research Technologies, have created a synthetic tree that they say captures CO2 1,000 times faster than regular trees and without the need for direct sunlight.
The trees feature plastic leaves that trap the CO2 in a chamber. The gas is then compressed into a liquid and could be used in fuels or fertilizers. The trees collect 1,000 kg of CO2 for every 200 kg it emits and each tree could capture up to 90,000 tons of CO2 per year.
The trees are expensive to produce - about the same as a new car - but their performance could warrant the enter site cialis free pills price. The trees' ability to capture CO2 without the aid of international shipping order viagra sunlight means they could be used in dark, enclosed places where most trees couldn't survive. They could be used to retrofit coal plants or placed in other areas that are subject to high CO2 emissions to curb the amount reaching the atmosphere.

A great deal of innovative CSR work is happening in the business world every day, but there are still too many gaps and missed opportunities.
When a recent survey by Walmart's Global Customer Insights and Analytics group revealed that 96 percent of Walmart shoppers indicated they had purchased sustainable products in the past year, the company realized that low prices are only one of numerous expectations. Further, with nine billion people projected to inhabit the planet by 2050, driving efficiency across the current food system is imperative. For Walmart, the key to bringing sustainable solutions to all of its customers is collaboration. Now, the retail giant is joining forces with CEOs from more than a dozen global companies to sign new commitments that accelerate innovation in sustainable agriculture and recycling.
Collaboration and supply chain transparency are also core elements of Verizon's commitments to CSR and its mission to use its technology to solve some of the world's most pressing problems in education, healthcare, energy management and sustainability. Recognizing Ericsson with Verizon's first Top Performance Award for Corporate Social Responsibility, the company acknowledges that working with responsible suppliers enhances competitiveness by improving the way it does business around the globe.
IKEA is also doing its part to prove that doing good is good business. From meatless meatballs to wind turbines and solar energy investment, the Swedish retailer putting its money and corporate citizenship on the line. "I'm convinced we are in the middle of this clean revolution right now, but I'm also not convinced we are doing it fast enough," said IKEA Chief Sustainability Officer Steve Howard. "All the challenges are solvable with the solutions we have today, but we don't have the right leadership, policies and priorities in place. Most political and business leaders are in a state of denial. Sustainability will be a decisive factor in terms of which business will be here in 30 years time. It's also the future of business."
In a similar vein, The Hershey Company, recently unveiled its evolved CSR framework—"Hershey Shared Goodness: Good Business, Better Life, Bright Future. Surpassing environmental targets and exceeding its year-one cocoa certification goal, Hershey is delivering on its belief that operating ethically and effectively is simply Good Business. "Our bold, aspirational goals have enabled our people and business to grow significantly," asserted CEO John P. Bilbrey. "Hershey Shared Goodness directly reflects Milton Hershey's founding principle of 'doing well by doing good,' and positions us for greater growth today and into the future."
Coca-Cola is also doing good—this time, in China. The company is launching a socially responsible bottled-water brand that will fund projects to bring clean drinking water to schoolchildren in rural China, where people have to walk long distances to reach a water supply. Since socially conscious brands are not as present in China compared to some other markets, Coke saw an opening to do something innovative. While Coke has initiatives in many markets to make soda and water bottles more sustainable, the Chun Yue brand is the first created specifically with the goal of charitably helping communities.
With resource challenges ahead and many real world problems to be solved here and now, companies like Coca-Cola, Walmart, IKEA, and Hershey are proving that doing good improves both consumer perception and business practices—and that, in turn, boosts profitability. Today's commitments, according to Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon, "are about creating real systems change from one end of the supply chain to the other—meaning how products are grown and made, how they're transported and sold, and how we touch the lives of people along the way." Now that's what we call shared value.
To find out more about future-proofing, the positive link between sustainability and executive pay, how sustainability helps companies like HP through tough times, and how brands are actively engaging employees in sustainability efforts—or to get more details on the stories above—check out this month's installment of Closing the Gap!

When someone you care about isn't acting the way they normally do, it's hard to know what to say. You may want to help them, but perhaps you don't know how. Here's some advice on how to start these conversations and what to look for. Also, don't forget that everyone's different and what may work for one person may not be helpful for another.
It can be difficult to know what to say or what to do when a friend needs support. Here are some helpful tips and strategies.
If you are supporting a friend and they are in crisis, it's important to know what to do.
If you are caring for a friend or family member it's important to take care of yourself as well.
Sometimes the most difficult thing is just working out how to start a conversation with someone who isn't feeling themselves. It's important to choose a time when you're both free to talk and a place where you both feel comfortable. You might want to start by saying something like "I've noticed you seem a bit down lately…"
It's important if you are caring for someone with anxiety or depression to look after yourself, both physically and emotionally.
You need to stay strong and reliable, not only for the person you're looking after, but also for yourself. However, the constant, sometimes overwhelming nature of being a carer can put you at greater risk of developing anxiety or depression.
You are not alone. No matter how dark it seems, the sun will always find a way of coming out.

Long before lasers,
the water level helped build the pyramids — the low-tech
tool has some definite advantages over expensive laser levels.
Besides saving you $200 or more, water levels work around
corners and never need recalibration. Electronic models like
Zircon's WL 25 Pro sound a tone to indicate level, so you can
use it by yourself, even when you can't see the other end of
the tube. The WL 25 has some improvements over previous models,
including an adjustable wall bracket that holds everything
stationary while you tug at its 25 feet of tubing, and better
feedback that indicates when you're higher than the reference
point. For larger projects, you can use it with up to 150 feet
of garden hose. It costs about $40.
Zircon Corporation
Hardwood levels have a beauty and impact
resistance that's tough for an aluminum extrusion to match.
Stanley's brassbound FatMax levels have reinforced rubber end
caps and thicker glass covers on the vials for better impact
resistance. Hermetically sealed bezels protect the vials from
moisture and fogging. The 4-foot model has a foldout,
flush-mounted rafter hook that keeps the level within arm's
reach and prevents falls. The 2-foot FatMax sells for $50; the
4-footer sells for $70.
Levelution's System Level includes two
2-foot levels and a 4-foot level that can be combined to make a
6- or 8-foot level. Sections are joined with high-strength
alignment plates and large easy-to-use knobs. The levels also
feature "keyed inserts" that receive removable accessories like
rafter hooks and magnets. WoodTacs are one of the coolest
accessories. These little pins lock into the keyed inserts and
can be driven into beams and headers for hands-free leveling or
into sheet goods to create a saw guide or straightedge. The
vials are adjustable. The 8-foot system level with a padded
case goes for about $275. The WoodTacs sell for $32.
The telescopic Plate
Level from Stabila makes plumbing even the tallest walls
easier. The level is now available in three sizes: 5 to 7 feet,
6 to 10 feet, and 7 to 12 feet. Stand-offs on the side and
bottom prevent warped lumber or debris on the floor from
producing a bad reading. As with other Stabila levels, the
vials are set in acrylic blocks and epoxied into the housing,
making adjustments unnecessary, according to the manufacturer.
Prices start at $210.
aluminum that's 40% thicker than what's used for most
cross-over boxes, the Seal-Tite Storage Box from Deflecta
Shield promises greater security. Two permanent aluminum trays
and a removable tool tray keep little stuff from sinking to the
bottom, and a three-position lock resists prying and tampering.
The self-opening lid has a high-dome shape for greater strength
and weather resistance. Prices start at $400.
Deflecta Shield
For many builders
and remodelers, the front seat of a pickup is the home office,
and things can get a little disorganized. The Cab Commander
from Duluth Trading is a heavy-duty nylon organizer that fits
over the passenger seat's headrest and provides plenty of
pockets for organizing papers and other office essentials. The
bag is secured with 11/2-inch nylon webbing, which doubles as a
shoulder strap. A side-squeeze buckle makes installation and
removal easy. The bag sells for $30.
Duluth Trading Company
The secret to Slide
System's line of toolboxes, racks, and truck accessories is a
special aluminum channel mounted on the bed rail. The boxes and
racks can then be positioned anywhere in the bed, and removal
is much easier. After unloading the day's materials, the box
can be slid to the tailgate for easy access during the rest of
the workday. The drill-free system uses the stake pockets for
mounting, and the low-profile design means that you can use the
system with bed covers, racks, and toppers from other
manufacturers. It sells for $1,028.
Slide Systems
Truck caps are
great, but climbing inside one to retrieve tools or material
every day is tough on the knees and back. A better way to get
at your stuff is with an Extendo-Bed System. It operates
something like a full-extension drawer slide and provides easy
access to the farthest reaches of the bed. Latches prevent
getting run over when you open the tailgate on a grade, and the
design can be customized depending on your needs. The model
shown costs about $2,000, plus shipping.

"Stunt-jumping acrobats contest physics, fearless aerial artists laugh at gravity, slapstick knockabouts descend into chaos, and live onstage musicians rock the house." The matinee performance on Saturday has special Family Fare series pricing. At Zellerbach Hall on Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets available from Cal Performances.
The It List: Five things to do in Berkeley this weekend
YEAR OF THE SNAKE Thank your lucky stars that you don't need to brave Beijing Railway Station, reportedly the busiest spot on Earth this weekend, to find Lunar New Year celebrations. Berkeleyans can instead stroll over to Solano Avenue for a Lunar New Year parade and performance celebrating the Year of the Snake on Sunday. The performances kick off at 1o a.m. in Landmark Theatre's Albany Twin, and include acrobatics by members of the SF Circus, Chinese dance by Ah-Lan Dance and Lion Dance and a martial arts display by Golden Lion. After the performance, there will be a parade up the entire length of Solano (on the sidewalk), starting at noon. Performance at Albany Twin, 1115 Solano Avenue, Albany, at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
WAKE UP AND HEAR THE BIRDS If you want to get a move on Saturday morning, what could be better than a birding walk through the Botanical Garden. Apparently, birds are surprisingly active in winter in the garden, and Chris Carmichael, associate director of collections and research, and local birder Phila Rogers will be there to point out sights of interest. Registration is required and space is limited. Tickets are $20, $15 for members. The birding walk is from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at the UC Botanical Garden, 200 Centennial Drive. … Continue reading »

You could pursue some or all of the five possible strategies described below. (Note that this information is specific to apartment tenants living in California. If you live in a condominium or a single-family home and are affected by drifting secondhand smoke, please see separate questions regarding these situations.)
- Create a voluntary agreement with your smoking neighbor to limit where he or she smokes;
- Encourage your landlord to adopt a smokefree policy;
- Ask for a "reasonable accommodation" from your landlord if you are disabled and your health condition is worsened by exposure to secondhand smoke;
- File a lawsuit against the landlord and/or your smoking neighbor based on legal grounds such as nuisance, trespass, breach of warranty of habitability, and/or breach of covenant of quiet enjoyment; and/or
- Urge your local elected officials to adopt a law to restrict smoking in multi-unit housing.
Voluntary Agreement
One option is for you to try and reach a voluntary agreement with your smoking neighbor. The neighbor could, for example, agree to limit where he smokes or the times when he smokes. Such an agreement is not legally binding. Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights (ANR) has a publication called "The Smoker Next Door: Handling Unwanted Tobacco Smoke in Apartments and Condominiums," which is especially useful for pursuing a voluntary agreement.
Although you and your neighbor may be able to work out an agreement on your own, there are mediation and dispute resolution programs that can assist people with disputes like this.
Smokefree Policy
Your landlord has the legal ability to prohibit smoking in indoor and outdoor common areas of the apartment complex, as well as to restrict smoking in individual units. For details on how a landlord could adopt such a policy, and for links to smokefree provisions a landlord could add to a lease, see our publication, "How Landlords Can Prohibit Smoking in Rental Housing."
For landlords concerned about whether implementing such a policy is legal, our memo entitled "There Is No Constitutional Right to Smoke" provides a helpful explanation.
Several other organizations have information on their websites about addressing drifting smoke in multi-unit housing:
- RESPECT, a project of the American Lung Association
- California's Clean Air Project
- Smokefree Apartment House Registry
Reasonable Accomodation
If you have a medical condition that is made worse by your exposure to secondhand smoke, and your condition meets the legal definition of "disabled," then there are federal and state laws that require the landlord to make a "reasonable" accommodation for you. Examples of a reasonable accommodation could include a ban on smoking in the building, or offering to relocate you to a different unit away from the smoke.
We have a fact sheet on how these disability laws might be able to assist you ("How Disability Laws Can Help Tenants Suffering from Drifting Tobacco Smoke"). The fact sheet includes a sample letter you could use as a template for a reasonable accommodation request, and a list of fair housing councils to contact for assistance in making such a request.
You should seek legal advice to see if you qualify for disability law protections. One of the fair housing councils listed in the fact sheet might be able to assist you. Note that we cannot be your lawyer.
Another option is to bring a lawsuit against the landlord and/or the tenant. Our fact sheet "Legal Options for Tenants Suffering from Drifting Tobacco Smoke" outlines issues to consider when contemplating a lawsuit and a description of the legal claims that might apply to your case.
We do not provide direct legal services to clients, so we would not be able to represent you in a lawsuit.
Another avenue you might want to pursue is filing a lawsuit in small claims court. In this case, you would represent yourself and not have to hire an attorney. The California Department of Consumer Affairs developed a helpful handbook, "The Dos and Don'ts of Using the Small Claims Court," to answer questions about the process of resolving a dispute in small claims court.
Smokefree Housing Law
You may also want to contact a local elected official about your problem, and suggest the City consider passing a law to protect people living in multi-unit housing from secondhand smoke. As a result of citizens like you, a number of communities have passed local laws restricting smoking in apartments and condos. If you would like more information about this option, contact us and we can put you in touch with your local community coalition working on tobacco control issues.
Whatever course of action you take, please consider your health. If that means moving to get away from the secondhand smoke, one source for finding a smokefree apartment is www.smokefreeapartments.org.
We wish you luck with this difficult situation.

Bi-Polar Disorder: Why is it So Common and How to Alleviate it
The Health Coach, Contributing Writer
Waking Times
If ever there was a truly American psychiatric condition, Bi-polar disorder (aka Manic-depressive disorder) is it. Everything about Society USA promotes such a condition from our youngest ages. As we unpack the several components of the mental and emotional baggage associated with Bi-polar disorder (BPD), you'll quickly see how easy it is to manage … and then be free of altogether.
Let's take a close look at the cultures in which BPD is most prevalent. Clearly, we find it showing up in societies which have a high incidence of addictions. Any kind of addictions – nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, recreational drugs, sugar, wheat, sex, gambling, sports, computer, TV, workaholism, etc. Why is there a direct correlation between the two? That's a very good question you might want to reflect upon, if you feel you might have the manic-depressive tendency.
First, we see that addictions are an extreme response to life's pressures, as is BPD. They are also frequently learned from previous generations, especially here in America. Every immigrant had(s) to deal with extraordinary challenges to make it in a foreign land. The first generation to join the melting pot often evolved coping behaviors which allowed them to survive. Especially when things got real tough, which they often did.
The lack of real community in a nation of workaholics or sportaholics and computerholics also makes for a dearth of social opportunities to communicate shared experience. When life is moving very fast, as it is today, this lack of a necessary social support system becomes all the more influential. What then happens is that the individual often resorts to going it alone, which is already highly encouraged by American society.
We've heard all the mantras promoting self-sufficiency.
- Be all you can be.
- The road to the top is a lonely one.
- Climb the ladder to the top by yourself even if it's a lonely journey.
- If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.
- It's a dog eat dog world.
Truly, American independence, pioneering, self-reliance, autonomy and individualism are hardwired into our very being. The acculturation process, as soon as we are born, encourages us to attain success however possible … and to win at all cost. And that our material success can be acquired by single-minded determination and self initiative.
This approach to life can be very isolating. It can also move us gradually into an emotional and psychological posture toward life that deprives us from constructive sources of feedback and input. As we rely only on ourselves to always "get the job done" or "achieve the stated goal", we push ourselves beyond our limits. Then we seek out crutches and comforts in the form of the many aforementioned addictions. Thus begins the inexorable slide into a psychiatric profile which can be defined by manic or depressive behavior and symptoms.
Many people throughout Western society are perpetually in the state of hypomania. Our society so rewards the type of achievement and production which such individuals can accomplish in so short a period of time that they usually move through life undiagnosed. When a hypomanic episode does emerge, they are usually drugged temporarily so as to keep them within the range of socially acceptable behavior. The underlying pattern then continues until they develop a full blown case of BPD requiring serious intervention, sometimes hospitalization.
Pharmaceutical medications are not the answer, but may be necessary as a short term intervention.
When the various anti-depressants and other psycho-active drugs are routinely employed in the treatment of these mind maladies, great care ought to be taken. Here are some reasons why:
- These drugs only treat the superficial symptoms, not the real causes.
- They have proven to have extremely serious side effects, both physical and psychological.
- Many have proven to have an addictive quality which is very difficult to break.
- Dangerous behavior to others and oneself can be triggered the longer one is on these meds, especially when one tries to get off the medication altogether without proper monitoring and supervision.
- These powerful pharmaceuticals only serve to mask the real source of the illness and therefore divert necessary attention away from the root causes.
- They also promote a lack of clarity just when the individual really needs to get real with themselves.
What we suggest is that anyone who labors under one, or more of these prescriptions at the same time, read the adverse side effects which are listed by law. Get on the internet and go to the numerous forums which have been started by those who have been addicted or harmed by these powerful psychoactive drugs. In fact, the many bizarre behaviors and acts of violence that we see across the headline news are often committed by those who have been under the influence of these mind-altering drugs.
The truth is that the very drugs used to treat ailments like BPD often contribute to the evolution of other mental and emotional conditions, which will also require remediation at some point. These medications can also become toxic with prolonged use adding to the total toxin body burden which present additional challenges concerning physical health. Clearly, the middle of a manic-depressive episode demands an immediate stripping away of all the co-factors which are contributing to the acute phase. What we ingest – in the form of food, drink, and meds both natural and synthetic – all influence our capacity to recover and maintain our balance.
We cannot overemphasize the role of diet in determining the success in overcoming BPD. Correlations have been made with certain foods which exacerbate some of the primary symptoms. The following list of foods and ingredients that ought to be strictly avoided if you find yourself at either end of a manic-depressive state.
- caffeine
- alcohol
- white sugar
- nicotine
- white, refined wheat products
- all recreational drugs, especially the synthetic version
- any pharmaceutical drug that isn't absolutely necessary
- a meat-free diet is highly recommended
- dairy should be avoided when allergy is present
- any other known allergy-producing foods such as eggs, peanuts, shellfish, soy, corn, citrus, etc. should also be strictly avoided
In order to prevent our children from developing allergies which might contribute to BPD-like symptoms, we have provided a link to Allergies.About.com.
Top 7 Food Allergies in Children
Very few know, but it is often a hidden food allergy that serves as a major co-factor in the etiology of BPD. When you throw a bunch of these allergies, intolerances and sensitivities into the mix, the road to recovery can be as difficult as it will remain elusive. Therefore, it is imperative for any sufferer of BPD to have a 120 food panel allergy test conducted, but only from a reputable lab.
The only four labs which we have used in this regard are as follows:
- Metametrix Clinical Laboratory
- US BioTek Laboratories
- Genova Diagnostics
- Optimum Health Resource Laboratories (esp. for Spanish-speaking clients)
These kinds of food allergy tests must be conducted properly otherwise you will receive false positives and false negatives. In order to avoid that situation, the current medical system ought to be avoided where it concerns their lab work in this particular regard. Obviously hospital labs do a lot of other very important good work, but allergy testing is still operating at a very crude level.
Daily Practices To Incorporate Into Lifestyle
The following practices ought to be seriously considered if you are to permanently be rid of BPD:
- A daily walk, in nature if possible
- Aerobic exercise which makes you feel good
- Hatha Yoga or Tai Chi
- Perform service for someone other than yourself
- Less talking, more listening
- Regular and sound sleep
- Moderate diet, especially avoidance of over-eating
- Meditation and breathwork
- Self Inquiry and Contemplation of life's purpose
- Watch spiritually edifying videos
- Listen to classical music or alpha wave music
Things to be avoided as much as possible are as follows:
- Avoid TV unless it is uplifting and positive
- Avoid recreational drugs of any kind
- Avoid what you know to be bad company, especially if they bring out the worst
- Avoid too much stimulation wherever you go
- Best not too read negative books and internet material
- Stressful situations which do not require your assistance can be left to those who are able and willing
The more you perform the DOs and stay away from the DON'Ts, the more you will see a change in your life. Your overall response to life's challenges and obstacles will begin to lighten and flow. If you can change your attitude toward yourself and the world in two (2) ways in particular, a major shift in consciousness will occur.
I. Try not to take anything personally — yes, easier said than done, but just try it.
II. Try not to take anything too seriously
Best Advice for those in the depressive state:
Practice gratitude whenever possible. Chronic depression is the result of chronic ingratitude. When one realizes what they have to be grateful for, sadness and depression will naturally flee. Of course, we do all the other things which have been outlined so as to put the odds in your favor of forever being free of Bi-polar Disorder.
May you enjoy great health,

Very informative article. The diet recommendation should be
followed by everyone. Milk and milk products should never be
taken into the diet. If you knew what happens to the cows to
produce and what is added to the milk, you would NEVER look at milk
the same way again.
This is an excellent prescription to better health and mental
I consume mostly milk by products as whey,cheese,cottage cheese,yogurt milk in coffee and I have no problems with it now but mine is likely New Zealand produces or Australian as I live in Australia.
Thanks for the article.
There is a lot of good information there and I completely agree that diet plays a huge role in mental health.
I personally believe that cognitive dissonance plays a large part of mental disorders.
Knowing things on a base level that are contradicted in the world around us is harmful.
If we inherently know on a base, perhaps subconscious level, that we are social people and rely on interpersonal relationships and communities but are constantly told 'the road to the top is a lonely one', the difference between these two concepts create a chasm. From this chasm, mental illness appears (in my opinion). If America is the land of the free and the brave, why are we so over-regulated and how brave is it to murder innocents abroad? The divide between what we know to be true and what we are told is true is vast. This offers cognitive dissonance, and confusion, and ill mental health.
Just a thought.
There is only one HUGE flaw in your article. The fact that BP is inherited. And just HOW to you change one's diet and illegal drug activity when they are extremely manipulative and are know it alls? Answer – you don't. I've been around several family members who are BP and refuse to change anything. The only thing they seem to know how to do is get on disability and ocllect money each month so they can go and buy more dope. If the government dropped all BP's off disability they would change their habits in a heartbeat. Coddling them does not work.
Great article – just so you know …the nomenclature *BPD* is most often reserved for Borderline Personality Disorder ( which is extremely frightening and also increasingly endemic to our society ; our jails are full of people with BPD.
There's been a lot of progress in the scientific and psyciatric fields in the last 15 years. People who have not dealt with something like BPD are just not gonna care much about the new stuff out there, and they maintain their bias. Just put "Neuroendocrine basis for mental illness", and go from there.
With all that being said, maybe the most critical aspect is the question of how well a mentally ill patient contributes to their treatment by learning about their disease and rebuilding themselves from the ground up a little at a time.
the ones who continually battle through their love affair with the world are the ones who have clarity.
Great article… so much to say and ask you about.. I will be contacting you in the near future for some feedback and insight as I continue on my path transforming mental illness into a blessing and sooner than later, share that with people and all of the alternative methods (that you mention) that are available.
Once again, thank you and be well.
There is a lot of misinformation in this article that I, as a bipolar patient, simply must point out.
"Bi-Polar Disorder: Why is it So Common and How to Alleviate it"
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, bipolar disorder affects 2.6% of the US population aged 18 and above. The flu is "so common". Bipolar disorder is not.
"As we unpack the several components of the mental and emotional baggage associated with Bi-polar disorder (BPD), you'll quickly see how easy it is to manage … and then be free of altogether."
Bipolar disorder is a life-long condition and there is no proven medical nor non-medical treatment that can get rid of this illness completely. If there is, please support your statement by attaching some form of evidence.
"Every immigrant had(s) to deal with extraordinary challenges to make it in a foreign land."
This is superfluous. Are you writing an essay about American history or about bipolar disorder? Get to the point.
"They also promote a lack of clarity just when the individual really needs to get real with themselves."
Bipolar patients find it difficult to attain a sense of reality and that is precisely why we need to be treated with therapy and medication. Getting psychiatric treatment is how we're "getting real" with ourselves.
"Get on the internet and go to the numerous forums which have been started by those who have been addicted or harmed by these powerful psychoactive drugs."
This is a harmful advice. People shouldn't seek advice from online forums because they're not established by medical professionals. If you (the reader) think you have a mental health issue, please speak to your doctor about it.
"Best not too read negative books and internet material"
This contradicts the statement that you've made earlier.
"Chronic depression is the result of chronic ingratitude."
This angers me to no end. When I'm depressed, I'm not able to feel any sort of positive emotion. I can't even feel the love provided by my family members or my friends, so how can I feel gratitude? What I'm referring to is clinical depression which is part and parcel of bipolar disorder. Clinical depression is a result of chemical imbalance and not "chronic ingratitude."
"~~ Help Waking Times to raise the vibration by sharing this article with the buttons below…"
No thank you. I get far better advice from Healthy Places and Natasha Tracy.
Please do not overlook the nutritional factors in bipolar disorder. The brain is 60% fat, mostly EPA and DHA. Most people with bipolar are not getting enough of these in their diet. Seafood is the best source. Feeding the brain what it needs revoves the cause of the problem, instead of suppressing it with drugs. This is especially important during pregnancy. Andrew Stoll MD, in The Omega-3 Connection, published in 2001, describes his studies of patients with treatment-resistant major depression. These patients had not responded to treatment with any conventional antidepressants, but when fish oil was added, even the patients were surprised at their improvement. This makes sense because without omega-3 fatty acids, the brain cannot function normally, so even the strongest antidepressant will be ineffective. He then went on to studies of patients with bipolar disorder. In 1997 he presented the results of a planned nine-month double-blind placebo-controlled study of thirty high-risk patients with bipolar disorder, treated with fish oil. A four month preliminary analysis of the data showed such amazing results with fish oil compared to patients on placebo, who were no better or even getting worse, that he cut the study short and offered fish oil to all participants, and published the results in the Archives of General Psychiatry. In the bipolar study, he gave patients 9.6 grams of omega-3 per day, (6.2 of EPA and 3.4 of DHA), but he finds that in clinical practice, 2 to 5 grams per day is adequate for most patients.
I restored my mental health just using omega 3, after two years of medication and no hope. Using omega 3 and avoiding food such as sugar, all kind of grains, and all kind of refined food.
I was really ill. Don't trust prescription drugs, a lot of cures to mental illnes comes from natural ways.

Book Description:
A Chance Encounter Forever Changed Their Lives--and Destinies.Crafted by two masters of inspirational fiction--Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn--and combining the engaging historical settings, rich characterization, and heartwarming messages quintessential to both authors, The Meeting Place is another timeless story for you to cherish.Set along the rugged coastline of 18th century Canada in what was then called Acadia (now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), The Meeting Place re-creates a world that was home to native Indians, French settlers, and English garrisons. Such diverse populations did not live in accord, however. Instead, they were isolated within their own groups by a brewing political tension under the difficult English rule. Amid such chaotic times two women, both about to become brides and both trying to live lives of quiet peace, meet in a lush field of wildflowers. Louisa, a Frenchwoman, and Catherine, who is English, continue to meet secretly through the seasons, sharing both friendship and growing faith. The outside world does not mirror their own tranquil happiness, and the dreaded crackdown by the English throne threatens far more than their growing bond. In the face of a heart-wrenching dilemma, Louisa and Catherine strive to maintain their faith and cling to their dreams of family and home.Winner of the Christy Award, presented by the Christian Bookseller Association to honor the best in Christian fiction.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — A Duluth church built before the Great Depression is for sale and might be demolished, putting preservations who want it preserved as a historical landmark at odds with church officials.
A Duluth News Tribune report (http://bit.ly/14QLPkm ) says church officials don't want the historical designation, and want any new owner to have the option of demolishing it.
St. Peter's Church was built out of stone in 1926 and served the city's Italian community. It was closed in late 2010, and church officials note it has some serious structural issues.
That hasn't stopped some local residents, along with at least one city councilwoman, from trying to have the building preserved. But other council members say they wouldn't support landmark status unless there was outcry from more than just a few people.
