Rosacea Cure
Today on skin whitening tips, I want to talk about one of the worst and most painful skin conditions. Rosacea is a serious skin condition that affects adults. It is also known as 'adult acne' and characterized by severe redness and sometimes pimples all over some parts of the face. The reason why the condition is sometimes called adult acne is that it may often cause outbreaks similar to acne.
Rosacea can also cause soreness and burning sensation in the eyes and eyelids. The condition is normally harmless until it gets to the eyes.
It mainly affects adults from the age of 30 to 50 and both men and women are affected. Rosacea is very uncommon in kids and while it is a more frequent disorder in women than men, it severely affects men
I have received many emails about this condition, asking me to write about it. Instead I will show you some of the emails I have received about this amazing new treatment.

Rosacea normally starts around the cheeks and then spreads out to the nose area and then up to the forehead.

Jeffrey Franklin Kent (born March 7, 1968 in Bellflower, California) is a retired Major League Baseball second baseman. Kent won the National League Most Valuable Player award in 2000 with the San Francisco Giants, and is the all-time leader in home runs among second basemen. He drove in 90 or more runs from 1997 to 2005, a streak of run production unprecedented for a second baseman, a position typically known for its defense. Kent is a five-time All-Star and his 537 career doubles put him 27th on the all-time doubles list.
Kent played at California prior to being drafted in the 20th round of the 1989 amateur draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. Prior to attending college, Kent had also had a serious run-in with his Edison High School baseball coach; he was removed from the team as a result. While attending Cal, he often earned extra cash by working at a local Home Depot. Since those days he has professed a desire to rejoin the Home Depot family after his career, stating, among other things, that it was there that he learned the value of hard work, and joking that it was also where he grew his mustache for the first time.
He was traded to the Mets for pitcher David Cone

Shadow and Bone
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha…and the secrets of her heart.

In the Supreme Court of the United States
Solicitor General
Counsel of Record
Department of Justice
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001
(202) 514-2217
In the Supreme Court of the United States
No. 05-380
The court of appeals held that the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 (the Act) was facially invalid because it lacked an express statutory exception for cases in which a partial-birth abortion is necessary to preserve the health of the mother. That decision overrides Congress's carefully considered finding, following nine years of hearings and debates, that partial-birth abortion is never necessary to preserve a mother's health. Respondents contend only briefly that the court of appeals' decision does not warrant this Court's review, and instead devote their efforts largely to arguing the merits of the case. Their arguments not only fail to justify the Act's facial invalidation, but, more to the point, provide no reason for denying the writ. Because the court of appeals invalidated a landmark Act of Congress, and because the court of appeals' decision conflicts with decisions of this Court, the petition for certiorari should be granted.
1. Remarkably, respondents assert (Br. in Opp. 16) that "the Government's contention that the Court should grant certiorari simply because the Eighth Circuit declared unconstitutional an act of Congress is unpersuasive." This Court, however, routinely exercises its certiorari jurisdiction to review a decision invalidating a federal statute. See Pet. 10 (citing numerous cases). In fact, respondents do not cite a single case in which this Court has declined to grant the government's petition in such circumstances. Particularly in view of the importance of the Act and the national interest in the resolution of the question presented by this case, see, e.g., Br. of Amici Texas et al. 1-2, there is no reason for deviating from that settled practice here.1
2. Respondents contend (Br. in Opp. 14-16) that the court of appeals' decision was "mandated" by this Court's decision in Stenberg v. Carhart, 530 U.S. 914 (2000). That contention -which is merely an attempted defense of the court of appeals' decision on the merits-is incorrect. In Stenberg, the Court held that Nebraska's statute banning partial-birth abortion was invalid because it lacked a health exception. 530 U.S. at 930. The Court concluded that the statute was required to contain a health exception after resolving the "factual question" whether the statute would pose "significant health risks for women." Id. at 932. In Stenberg, of course, no federal statute was at issue, and there were no congressional findings on the need for a health exception. At most, therefore, the Court could have established a rule of decision for cases in the absence of congressional findings; it was "quite impossible" for the Court to establish a rule of decision even in the face of such findings. American Dredging Co. v. Miller, 510 U.S. 443, 457 (1994). Respondents point to no language in Stenberg suggesting that the Court intended to foreclose Congress from deliberating on this issue, considering the latest and best available medical evidence, and making its own findings. If read in the fashion respondents suggest, Stenberg would have profound separation-of-powers implications, given the "superior factfinding capabilities" of legislatures compared to courts. City of Akron v. Akron Ctr. for Reprod. Health, Inc., 462 U.S. 416, 456 n.4 (1983) (Akron I) (O'Connor, J., dissenting).
Respondents assert that the evidence they presented in the district court concerning the medical necessity of partial-birth abortion was "even * * * strong[er]" than the evidence presented by the plaintiffs in Stenberg. Br. in Opp. 15, 16. Even assuming, arguendo, that respondents' characterization of the evidence before the district court were correct (and it is not), it would be both counterproductive (because it would underscore that Stenberg rested on the district court record, rather than settling the issue for all time) and irrelevant (because it would show that respondents would prevail only if Congress's findings concerning the medical necessity of partial-birth abortion were entitled to no deference). Because Stenberg does not suggest, much less decide, that courts considering challenges to statutes regulating abortion should discount, let alone disregard altogether, congressional findings, respondents' contention that Stenberg controls the outcome of this case should be rejected.
3. Respondents also argue the merits of the deference owed to Congress's findings in this context. Although those arguments join issue on the question presented, they provide no basis for denying plenary review of the question.
a. Respondents contend (Br. in Opp. 16-25) that, although this Court has deferred to congressional findings in a variety of constitutional contexts, such deference is inappropriate in this context. Respondents, however, offer no persuasive basis for barring deference here.
First, respondents assert (Br. in Opp. 18-20) that the principle of deference articulated in Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. v. FCC, 520 U.S. 180 (1997) (Turner II), is inapplicable where the findings at issue are not "predictive." That distinction, however, lacks support and is illusory in any event. Contrary to respondents' assertion (Br. in Opp. 18), Congress was indeed "making predictions about the future impact of legislation" in this case: specifically, predictions concerning the likely health effects of prohibiting a particular type of abortion procedure. To be sure, those predictions were based on evidence concerning the "current state of medicine" (id. at 19), just as the predictions at issue in Turner II were based on Congress's assessment of the then-current conditions in the local broadcasting industry. See 520 U.S. at 195-196. It would be illogical, however, to defer to congressional findings when they are based wholly on conjecture, but not when they are grounded on hard data. To the contrary, a fundamental rationale for deference to congressional findings is that Congress "is far better equipped than the judiciary to amass and evaluate * * * data bearing upon legislative questions." Id. at 195 (emphasis added) (quotation marks omitted). It is thus unsurprising that this Court has deferred to Congress's predictive judgments on medical and scientific issues, even (or especially) where those judgments were based on the "current state" of the evidence. See, e.g., Jones v. United States, 463 U.S. 354, 363-366 & n.13 (1983); Lambert v. Yellowley, 272 U.S. 581, 588-597 (1926). Indeed, legislatures are entitled to the "widest latitude" in resolving disagreements among medical professionals. Kansas v. Hendricks, 521 U.S. 346, 360 n.3 (1997).2
Second, respondents suggest (Br. in Opp. 20-24) that deference to congressional findings is never appropriate in cases "involving a burden on a constitutional right, infringement of which is subject to heightened scrutiny." That contention, however, cannot be reconciled with Turner II, which involved a content-neutral regulation subject to intermediate scrutiny under United States v. O'Brien, 391 U.S. 367 (1968). See Turner II, 520 U.S. at 185, 189-190. Indeed, courts have noted that the "undue burden" standard applicable to abortion regulations (which effectively replaced the previously applicable strict-scrutiny standard, see Planned Parenthood of S.E. Pa. v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833, 869-879 (1992) (joint opinion of O'Connor, Kennedy, and Souter, JJ.)) closely resembles intermediate scrutiny, see, e.g., Tucson Woman's Clinic v. Eden, 379 F.3d 531, 549 (9th Cir. 2004). Moreover, as discussed at greater length in the petition (Pet. 12-15), this Court has deferred to congressional findings in a wide range of other contexts involving fundamental constitutional rights. See, e.g., Board of Educ. v. Mergens, 496 U.S. 226, 250-251 (1990) (Establishment Clause); Walters v. National Ass'n of Radiation Survivors, 473 U.S. 305, 320-334 (1985) (Due Process Clause); Jones, 463 U.S. at 361 (Due Process Clause); Rostker v. Goldberg, 453 U.S. 57, 69 (1981) (equal protection component of Due Process Clause); Lambert, 272 U.S. at 588 (Due Process Clause).3
Third, respondents argue (Br. in Opp. 24-25) that deference to Congress's findings would be inappropriate because Congress was attempting to "redefine the scope of a constitutional right" and "subvert this Court's prior interpretation of a constitutional issue." In passing the Act, however, Congress was not attempting to displace the constitutional rule applied in Stenberg (i.e., the "undue burden" test), but instead merely was making findings on a factual issue (i.e., whether partial-birth abortion is ever medically necessary) relevant to the application of that rule. This case is therefore crucially different from cases in which Congress either sought to supersede a constitutional ruling of this Court, see Dickerson v. United States, 530 U.S. 428 (2000); City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 507 (1997), or made insufficient findings to sustain a statute's constitutionality, see United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598 (2000).
b. Contrary to respondents' suggestion (Br. in Opp. 25- 27), Congress's findings concerning the medical necessity of partial-birth abortion are entitled to deference under the standards of Turner II. The court of appeals nevertheless refused to apply any deference to Congress's factual findings, reasoning that "the government's argument regarding Turner deference is irrelevant to the case at hand." Pet. App. 15a. Respondents argue (Br. in Opp. 25) that the district court did apply deference, but concluded that Congress's findings were not supported by substantial evidence. Pet. App. 463a, 476a-477a. In analyzing Congress's findings, however, the district court asked the wrong question: rather than asking whether substantial evidence supported Congress's conclusion that partial-birth abortion was never necessary to preserve a woman's health, the court asked whether substantial evidence supported the proposition that no substantial medical authority supported the proposition that partial-birth abortion was ever necessary to preserve a woman's health. Id. at 460a-461a. Even assuming that is the correct question for a court to ask in the absence of congressional findings, it clearly is the wrong standard to apply in evaluating those findings.
If the district court had properly applied the standards articulated in Turner II, it would have concluded that Congress's findings-specifically, its ultimate finding that "partial-birth abortion is never medically indicated to preserve the health of the mother," see Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, Pub. L. No. 108-105, § 2(14)(O), 117 Stat. 1206- were entitled to deference. As the district court acknowledged, most of the physicians who testified before Congress supported the Act. Pet. App. 58a. That congressional testimony was reinforced by various written materials that Congress also considered, including statements from leading physician groups, articles in professional journals, and other submissions from individual physicians. And it was supplemented by ample testimony from physicians at trial. At most, respondents simply highlight other record evidence to demonstrate that contrary evidence was presented to Congress (and introduced at trial). But that fact just underscores that Congress received information from a wide variety of sources before making its findings. Under Turner II and separation-of-powers principles, the correct inquiry is not whether a reviewing court would reach the same determination as Congress on the basis of the record that Congress had before it; instead, it is simply whether there was sufficient evidence to suggest that Congress's determination was reasonable. See, e.g., 520 U.S. at 210-211.4 Because the evidence before Congress, especially as supplemented by the trial record, was more than sufficient to support Congress's determination concerning the medical necessity for partial-birth abortion, that determination is entitled to deference.
4. Respondents contend (Br. in Opp. 27-29) that the court of appeals correctly held that an abortion statute that lacked a health exception was facially invalid if the regulated procedure was arguably necessary to preserve the health of the mother only in some instances. That contention lacks merit.
Respondents suggest (Br. in Opp. 28) that a plaintiff bringing a facial challenge to an abortion statute that lacks a health exception need not show that such an exception is necessary in all cases, see United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 745 (1987), or even a "large fraction" of cases, see Casey, 505 U.S. at 895, because this Court's decision in Casey "did not apply the 'large fraction' test to its evaluation of the medical emergency exception." In the portion of Casey on which respondents rely, however, the Court was considering only an exception for medical emergencies-not the broader health exception that respondents seek. See id. at 879. And the Court did not address whether a statutory exception for medical emergencies was necessary in the first place, but instead merely held that the definition of a medical emergency in the statutory exception was constitutionally sufficient. See id. at 880. Moreover, Casey did not suggest that a defect in the medical-emergency exception would result in facial invalidation, but rather would require only limiting "the restrictive operation of the provision." Ibid. Casey therefore does not support either the proposition that a general health exception is automatically required in every abortion statute or the proposition that a general health exception is required upon a showing that the statute would impose a health risk only in some instances. Nor does it support the proposition that the absence of a general health exception requires facial invalidation of a statute in its entirety, regardless of its constitutional applications.
In the alternative, respondents seemingly embrace the suggestion (Br. in Opp. 28) that Stenberg adopted a more permissive standard for facial challenges than either the "no set of circumstances" standard from Salerno or the "large fraction" standard from Casey. Although the Court did note in Stenberg that partial-birth abortion was itself a relatively rare procedure, the Court did not further hold that the statute required a health exception because partial-birth abortion was medically necessary only in a small percentage of instances in which the statute applied. See 530 U.S. at 934. Respondents' reading of Stenberg would not only belie the Court's assertion that the requirement of a health exception constituted "simply a straightforward application of [Casey's] holding," 530 U.S. at 938, but would (contrary to respondents' unelaborated assertion, Br. in Opp. 29) entirely subvert the Salerno standard by allowing a plaintiff to obtain facial invalidation of a statute simply by showing that the statute had a few unconstitutional applications. That reading of Stenberg would be difficult to reconcile with a host of the Court's other decisions, see Ohio v. Akron Ctr. for Reprod. Health, 497 U.S. 502 (1990) (Akron II); Simopoulos v. Virginia, 462 U.S. 506 (1983); H.L. v. Matheson, 450 U.S. 398 (1981); Connecticut v. Menillo, 423 U.S. 9 (1975), which either reject overbreadth analysis in the abortion context (H.L., 450 U.S. at 405-407), apply a Salerno-type test to facial challenges to abortion statutes (Akron II, 497 U.S. at 514), or permit as-applied challenges to abortion statutes that were susceptible to unconstitutional applications (Simopoulos, 462 U.S. at 510; Menillo, 423 U.S. at 11). Even if respondents have the correct view of Stenberg, this Court should grant certiorari to clarify the status of those precedents. Apart from refusing to defer to Congress's findings, therefore, the court of appeals also erred by holding that the statute was facially invalid because its lack of a health exception could be problematic in some applications.5
* * * * *
For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the petition, the petition for a writ of certiorari should be granted.
Respectfully submitted.
Solicitor General
1 Respondents attempt to distinguish the cases in which this Court has granted certiorari to review decisions invalidating federal statutes on the ground that "[i]n none of those cases did the Court grant certiorari to review a decision that followed its precedent to revisit issues that had already been decided by the Court." Br. in Opp. 16. That argument is question-begging and incorrect in any event. This Court has granted plenary review of decisions holding a federal statute unconstitutional even where the parties seeking to invalidate the statute contended that the outcome was dictated by a recent decision of the Court. See, e.g., Johanns v. Livestock Mktg. Ass'n, 125 S. Ct. 2055, 2060 (2005) (rejecting argument, first advanced in brief in opposition, that case was controlled by United States v. United Foods, Inc., 533 U.S. 405 (2001)); cf. United States v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310, 313-318 (1990) (agreeing that case was controlled by Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989)).
2 Respondents contend (Br. in Opp. 21) that Jones, Lambert, and other cases are distinguishable on the ground that "none of those cases involved deference to legislative findings." Although Congress may not have made express legislative findings in those cases like the findings at issue here, Congress unquestionably made implicit findings about a disputed question of fact that was relevant to the constitutional claim at issue. If anything, deference is all the more appropriate where, as here, Congress deliberately made express findings based on testimony and other evidence received during extensive legislative hearings. See Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, Pub. L. No. 108-105, § 2(14), 117 Stat. 1204.
3 Respondents' efforts to distinguish those cases (Br. in Opp. 23-24) are unavailing. Respondents suggest that, in Mergens and Walters, the Court did not simply defer to Congress, but instead reviewed Congress's findings in light of other evidence. In considering that evidence, however, the Court acted entirely consistently with the principle that congressional findings are entitled to deference only where a reviewing court is satisfied that "Congress has drawn reasonable inferences based on substantial evidence." Turner II, 520 U.S. at 195 (internal quotation marks omitted). Respondents suggest that Rostker is distinguishable on the ground that it involves the sui generis context of deference to congressional judgments concerning the military. In Rostker, however, the Court first noted the general principle that congressional judgments on factual issues are "customar[ily]" entitled to deference, 453 U.S. at 64, before proceeding to note that deference is particularly appropriate where congressional judgments concerning the military are concerned, id. at 64-65.
Respondents rely (Br. in Opp. 20-21) on this Court's decisions in Landmark Communications, Inc. v. Virginia, 435 U.S. 829 (1978); Sable Communications of California, Inc. v. FCC, 492 U.S. 115 (1989); and Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234 (2002). Those cases, however, are inapposite. Landmark did not even involve a federal statute; Sable rejected a request for deference on the straightforward ground that "the congressional record contain[ed] no legislative findings" germane to the constitutional question presented, 492 U.S. at 129-130; and Free Speech Coalition did not reject a congressional finding that "virtual child pornography whets the appetites of pedophiles and encourages them to engage in illegal conduct," but instead concluded that any such finding was legally irrelevant on the ground that "[t]he mere tendency of speech to encourage unlawful acts is not a sufficient reason for banning it," 535 U.S. at 253.
4 As respondents note (Br. in Opp. 17), the precise inquiry is whether, "in formulating its judgments, Congress has drawn reasonable inferences based on substantial evidence." Turner II, 520 U.S. at 195 (emphasis added) (quotation marks omitted). Although respondents contend (Br. in Opp. 17) that "the Government proposes on appeal a watered down version of the Turner test" by "omit[ting] the critical first part of the test" (i.e., "whether Congress's conclusion was 'reasonable'"), the petition specifically quoted the foregoing formulation of the Turner II inquiry. See Pet. 11. In any event, respondents do not explain how an inquiry concerning whether Congress's findings are "reasonable" would differ from an inquiry concerning whether those findings are supported by "substantial evidence," and the findings at issue in this case are reasonable by any measure in light of the record before Congress.
5 As explained in the petition (Pet. 22-24), the Court's decision in
Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, No. 04-1144 (argued
Nov. 30, 2005), could shed light on certain aspects of the question presented
in this case. The Court, however, should grant certiorari outright in this
case and proceed with its disposition. The court of appeals invalidated
a landmark Act of Congress and enjoined all of its pre-viability applications.
Granting certiorari now would expedite the ultimate resolution of the Act's
constitutionality and would enable the Court more fully to consider the
ramifications of its decision in Ayotte on the appropriate standard for
facial challenges to abortion statutes and on the necessity for a health

Re: VHF Protocol
"I know that 60% of Americans can't name one Supreme Court justice, but you really don't think they can handle this?"
I don't think it, I know it. Worked with communications and "communicatees" for too long.
"Why is that? It's not macho to say Romeo?" A big part of the problem is that the ITU is for "furriners". Here in the US the main "official" use of radio, outside of the airlines, is by cops and firemen, and THEIR idiosynchratic phonetics use "common" names like Bob, David, Edward Frank Mary Robert.
So the public has been trained (by Hollywood or whatever else they heard) to a local alphabet which is almost always in conflict with the ITU. And The Blue Wall refuses to shift to the ITU.
Remember, this is the same public that thinks texting while drunk driving is an acceptable standard of operation. They're just not going to Kaybeck Zooloo at you.
What did Mark Twain say about teaching a pig to play the piano? All you're going to do, is upset the pig?
Actually, since most boaters KNOW the boat name, and don't know the ITU, everyone remains in conformance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS) which are the US standards for emergency operations, by "avoiding the use of jargon" which is what the ITU phonetics can be. NIMS trumps ITU.
And that USCG reference to transmitting a distress alarm on 2182? Now that's a crime, since all official stations were told to
stop monitoring it
some years ago. The use of 2182 has been formally obsoleted and ended. Internationally.

I have made progress - a whole repeat of progress to be precise. I am getting the hang of the pattern, even though I still need the paper next to me at all times, but it makes more sense. By the third - and last - repeat I am sure I will know it by heart.
It is not a hard pattern, just a lot of cable and yarn over work, and you need to be careful (no late knitting for me!) - this makes a beautiful effect of course. I am in love with this pattern, really.
I think the colour of the yarn is probably as close to the real thing as can be - and really shows off the pattern. I am always worried that the yarn colour will overwhelm the pattern - but it does not (totally worth that customs charge I had to pay, oh I hate customs charge).
Pattern: The Hourglass Throw by Anne Hanson
Yarn: Swans Islands Yarn organic Merino and Alpaca blend yarn, naturally dyed
Needles: 5.5mm
Modifications: None - do not have the brain for it. But I reckon that it would make a great jumper pattern if someone wanted to take on the challenge!
I believe we could see a finish soon - cannot wait to block this blanket! There is already a finish at MiH, Slable is finished and has been photographed - but more on this later this week...
As for the reading, I am finishing Inferno by Dan Brown. It is not the Da Vinci Code but it is surprisingly fun to read, and I do love all the additions of historic details about Florence and Venice.
Will be joining others over at Ginny's today.
You can also see my choice of baby blanket patterns here, if you are interested.

- DeliciosotheartofeatingVIPDined on 10/20/2014The service was friendly and professional and the food was outstanding. My date and I share everything, the cheese plate, the polenta (delicioso!!), and the fish entree. I would go here again and again and again.Special Features:
- Consistently good!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 10/20/2014Another nice evening at Il Casale. We took out of town guests and everyone enjoyed their meals. Arancini appetizer and mushroom side were both noteworthy. Good service too. Only negative is that it's very loud and difficult to carry on a conversation-maybe because it's a former fire station which provides a unique ambiance.Special Features:
- Always a great meal.NewcomerVIPDined on 10/18/2014We come to Il Casale whenever we can get a reservation. It's always a great meal, the service is unbelievable and you are never rushed.Special Features:
- An off NightOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/17/2014We were a bit disappointed by our visit on Friday evening. Our reservation was on the late side(8:45pm). Our table was ready, but for some reason, our waiter was not on top of our table, nor was the bus staff. We waited over 5 minutes for our water to be fill. Our waiter was nice and a seasoned waiter, but for some reason was not on top of our table. We had two teenagers with us, but this was no excuse. We had to track him down to order refills on our beverages, items needed at our table, etc.. Just not a top night performance by this server. He was engaged in a party of 10 seated next to us and another table of 4, but this was no excuse for what happened to us. We will go back as it's a wonderful place and a neighborhood gem.Special Features:
- good food but noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/15/2014As I get older, I find myself more aware of noise levels and the difficulty they pose when conversing with one's dining companions. This is an issue at Il Casale. Very good food, nice wine list, friendly and attentive service, but hard to hear everyone in our party of five. A carpet on the concrete floor would help a lot.Special Features:
- hhwdsfarnsworthVIPDined on 10/11/2014We have not been here for a few years and our experience was just as pleasant as previously. Excellent food, very attentive and informed wait staff, and a nice room (converted firehouse). It tends to pretty noisy which can make conversation across the table harder.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2nd Wedding AnniversaryGiantDinersDined on 10/5/2014I reserved a table here for my 2nd Wedding anniversary. I went here a year ago for my birthday and enjoyed the food tremendously. This time I tried something new and went for the catch of the day and had "Amberjack", which I had seen on sport fishing shows, but had never eaten one. It was cooked so well and was fresh for that kind of fish. I have been a fisherman since I was 3 so I know the difference between an old fish and a fresh fish. Funny enough even my wife liked it and she doesn't eat, but two other fish that I know of. Her pasta dinner was good as well. The been and wine selection was very good. We received a complementary prosecco since I mentioned our anniversary on the reservation. That was a nice bonus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceschutzieDined on 10/5/2014The waitstaff recognized i wanted to be served, even when the rest of my family had not yet arrived. They were friendly, attentive and prompt. the food was terrific and every morsel was gobbled down!Special Features:
- Tastes like ItalyfoodluverVIPDined on 10/3/2014I have been here twice and both times were pretty stellar. It's located in Belmont center, which is cute and cozy. Inside the decor is a mixture of rustic wooden tables and dramatic green curtains hung on the walls. It is often busy, so go early. The real reason to go to this place is the food. It truly tastes like Italy (I have been to Italy twice.) The food is simple, fresh and done right. I actually would probably be willing to pay more, considering the quality of the food. Drinks are good to. The service is friendly, but not to obtrusivve. It is a wonderful, casually elegant place to dine.Special Features:
- great take in BelmontseekingsuburbanspotsDined on 10/3/2014Super menu of Italian specialties, lots of choices for vegetarians as well (this surprised me). I had the Sicilian roast chicken and my date had the chicken parmigiana -- all perfectly done. Also, we tried the arancini appetizer: superb! Great wine selection. Overall: a bit on the pricey side, but nicely prepared plates, and appropriate for a special occasion. Decor is amazing (converted firehouse). I felt like I was in Italy for a little while!Special Features:
- Stunning as usualMickVIPDined on 9/28/2014Belmont Townies and newbies cannot believe that a restaurant as good as Il Casale has landed in our midst. Our Sunday night dinner, less crowded than usual, featured our favorite waiter, sophisticated but not at all off-putting, older guy, friendly, funny, attentive, who remembered us; a younger person, and others. great, great food; ample portions, even the smaller size; wonderful beer and wine lists, just a fun place with great food and service. Menu changes often, though old favorites remain, but try something new. You'll probably like.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014Service was ok, food was overpriced and not very good. I had the rack of lamb, very salty and hardly any meat, mostly fat! My friend had the veal which she said was good but also very salty. Even the salad wasn't very good. Very disappointed with the entire meal.

Our server, Fabrizio, was marvelous in explaining the dishes and in his care of us. The ambiance clean, refreshing and lovely. The acoustics were great for such a large room. We recommend this delightful restaurant which is true to the Italian cuisine. 5 STARS for sure!!!Special Features:
- Good food - not so good serviceDebraFrancesDined on 9/19/2014i found the wait staff to be friendly, but not attentive enough. Perhaps they were too busy. The restaurant was crowded. I could have easily ordered a second glass of wine if they had asked prior to me completing my dinner. I also think the dinner came out too quickly after the appetizers and salad. The noise level was too high. It was more than energetic. It was difficult to hear everyone at the table. Salad was excellent and they split it which was nice. Everyone's meal was good although the pasta dishes were a bit on the small side. I plan on trying it again to see if we get better service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely until it went southADMWFMDined on 9/19/2014Had a 6 pm reservation for myself, my mother & my 2 sisters. My wedding was 1 week away, and I figured Il Casale would be perfect for a celebratory dinner after my last dress fitting. I called day of to let the restaurant know it was a very special dinner for us. Food was great - we ordered a bottle of wine, salads, 4 entrees, coffees, and 4 desserts. As we sat happily sipping our coffees, an unfamiliar waiter came and asked if we needed anything else. At the SAME moment a male manager approached from the other side and essentially said we had been there long enough. We were appalled. It had been less than 3 hours and we spent $300 there moments earlier. I was also humiliated, having booked the place - horrible end to a nice meal.Special Features:
- Vegan made possibleDianaDined on 9/19/2014In-laws in town who love meat. We vacationed with them in Italy a couple of years ago so wanted to share the experience at Il Casale. We weren't disappointed. In-laws loved the rack of lamb. We, recently converted from vegetarian to vegan, were deliciously drenched in pasta with tomato sauce and basil and chicory with raisins. Yum!Special Features:
- Good place, but aloof staffTuck95Dined on 9/18/2014Stopped in for a late dinner last week. The food was good, but the hostess and wait staff seemed somewhat bothered by our presence. Very uninspired service. Food was great, so it's a shame.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth a tripArlingtonFoodieDined on 9/10/2014Our first experience at this lovely restaurant- attentive waiter with true italian accent, lovey menu, romantic atmosphere, only complaint was noise level due to high ceilings and brick facade which somehow adds to the charm except that you might find yourself shouting to be heard. We will definitely go back. Not for anyone who has a hearing loss though!Special Features:
- top notchoingoboingoDined on 9/10/2014We enjoy dining out and have visited all the great restaurants in the larger Boston area. Il Casale stands up well against the big guns in Boston and Cambridge. The salumeria was the best I've had in a very long time, the wine was great, the gnocci were lovely, the veal and lamb were very good, and the service was really outstanding. We will undoubtedly return.Special Features:

Extra care for the authenticity or the food and waiter communicated half in Italian which not necessary but added to the great experience. All staff support each other. Water glass was never empty. Can't say enough. One minor thing it was so busy that no one ask if we wanted coffee or ' anything' else at the end and couldn't get anyone's attention. But not a issue. I will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great spot for a terrific dinnerCarlTDined on 8/31/2014Our group arrived on a busy Sunday evening. We had prompt service and plenty of information about the restaurant itself and the cuisine from our server. All dishes were excellent and the ability to order half servings made it easy to share different dishes among us. This was a rare place where the side dishes were as good as the main dishes. The polenta with the truffle oil took top honors among the sides. Desserts were also up to the standards of the rest of the meal. Definitely worth the trip.Special Features:
- Nice TimeWatertownDined on 8/31/2014Group of 5 couples celebrating back to school together. The server was knowledgeable and attentive.

- Some high notes, otherwise boringNickVDined on 8/30/2014The Prosciutto & Melone appetizer was made great by the addition of burrata. Otherwise, the food here didn't live up to the expectations set by friends who'd been here. The pasta didn't harmonize well with the sauce, and was inconsistently cooked (some mushy, some al dente).Special Features:
- Reliably good mealFoodSnarkDined on 8/29/2014We've been to Il Casale a few times and each time our meal is excellent. Plus, there's an Italian gentleman who's served us the last two times and he is a true gem. Makes great recommendations but generally stays away except when needed --- sort of in the old style of waiting tables. The only thing I don't like (and it's so minor) is all the weird fake plants. I feel the architecture of this place is so interesting that the plants are just visual noise. Anyway ... that's just me being super picky. I really like Il Casale a lot.Special Features:
- One of my favoritesvivaitalia1Dined on 8/23/2014Yet again, Il Casale was a delight. The food and service never fail in their quality. I always look forward to the gnocchi which I rate highest in the Boston area -- it is real Italian gnocchi, smooth and delicate, not the hard dry lumps that are usually offered as gnocchi in the US. My daughter and I ate outside -- it was so much quieter than in the restaurant proper. There, the noise level is the only drawback eating here. But everything else -- food, service, wine -- are always top-notch. I no longer live in town but manage to eat at Il Casale every time I get back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/21/2014Excellent as always. Angelo, our waiter is the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful first visitLeahDined on 8/20/2014This was our first time here and it was wonderful. Our waiter was attentive and kind. We were only in for drinks and sat at a small table by the bar. I also appreciated when we were waiting to cash out a manager grabbed our check and cashed us out. (That's one thing I hate is being held up at a resturant when your trying to get out.) would defiantly recommend for dinner and wine or even just apps and drinks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tapas all aroundTheComputerMedicVIPDined on 8/19/2014We had the meatballs (strangely, beef and pork as separate dishes), gnocchi, burrata, polenta, arancini, and calamari. The polenta with truffle oil was creamy and the real highlight. We would come back for that and try some other dishes. However, the meatballs were good but not special or unique or impressive, just "meatballs." The arancini were good but uninspired. The calamari was like that found at any bar, again nothing special. We will try again.Special Features:
- Always a great meal.NewcomerVIPDined on 8/16/2014We go to Il Casale often and are never disappointed. The food is excellent and the service is fantastic. The only drawback is, because of it's popularity, sometimes it's hard to get a reservation. Recommend very highly.Special Features:
- Good food, slow serviceCambridgeMomDined on 8/12/2014We arrived for our 6:30 reservation and ordered cocktails right away. Then we placed our order about 15 minutes later. We shared 3 small plates, ordered salads, and shared a large pasta (primi) dish. The small plates came out right away. The mozzarella and the tuna crudo were delicious. The arancini balls were a little on the dry side. Then we waited for 30 minutes for our salads to come out, and another 15-20 minutes after that for our pasta. I'm really not sure why the salads and the pasta took so long to get out as they were not complicated dishes. We were there on a random Tuesday night and did not expect the service to be so slow. The food is good, but be prepared for a 3 hour meal.Special Features:
- disappointedrosieDined on 8/11/2014We shared small dishes - the calamari was all breading and tasteless, the arancini was good, not great, the bean/kale side dish was over salted, the greens were ok, the pasta with shrimp and lemon bread crumb was the best part of the meal - quite delicious. The service was painfully slow - they came back 3 times to ask if we wanted more bread. Hungry, we said yes and filled up on a lot of bread. A disappointing experience in general.Special Features:
- Wonderful consistent restaurantmainelyfoodDined on 8/10/2014This was probably my 5th visit. Always lovely choices, everything is well prepared, the ambiance is warm and the prices aren't bad. Nice wines, too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food close to homeEAKAZANVIPDined on 8/9/2014The great food is the reason to come, having Fabrizio as your waiter makes the evening all the better! Find a parking space right in front...almost better than the dessert. A hot spot that transcends all age groups and occasions from birthdays and weeding anniversaries to just a night out with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much improvedSheenabeaDined on 8/1/2014I first came to Il Casale 2 weeks after they first opened ever. I loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious, however, they were still working out the service kinks. We went for my husband's birthday for the first time since then and they did not disappoint! Food was excellent and service was fantastic! I will say, the restaurant is very loud. I think it may just be the way the place is, but, it was very hard to have a conversation while we ate because we could barely hear each other. Our reservation was at 6:30pm. but they sat us as soon as we arrived at 6:05pm.Special Features:
- FOOD AND SERVICEMelbaVIPDined on 7/26/2014everything about this place yells quality! great food, service spot on cant say anything bad about it at allSpecial Features:
- Il CasalememeDined on 7/23/2014Lovely dinner. Best part (for me) of Il Casale is that they have options for smaller portions. This is great for someone with a smaller appetite, or those who want to try several small dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PatticakeDined on 7/17/2014I had the snapper special and it was excellent, with a beautiful risotto. My husband had the veal scalloping and found it oily. But we enjoyed seeing how a firehouse was turned into a very. Successful restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Giants are in town, or we're going to San Francisco, or who knows.
Do you think Roy is okay? No, he's not. This is all pretty bad.
Here's Bryan Rosa from Around the Foghorn something something something.
1. Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum were once the gold standard in starting pitching. In recent years, we've watched both turn to more of an aluminum standard. Can you offer any tips of watching a treasured ace die in front of you?
Watching Lincecum has been draining. Not so much because he's struggled, but, WHY he's struggled is a complete unknown to anybody and the fact that he shows these flashes makes you believe he's just about to turn the corner. Then he runs into a wall. A lot of people have commented on his lowered velocity, but, Lincecum's been pretty good with his current velocity before.
When he came into the league, he threw hard, but he quit that relatively quickly and some of his best years, he didn't really throw any harder than he currently does. His lack of fastball command has really hurt him as his secondary pitch command isn't really bad at all, but he can't set any of them up off the fastball and well, when he can't do that, it's a problem.
So my advice? Stick a pencil in your eye. It'll be less painful than watching.
2. So I saw Metallica played the National Anth I'm sorry, I can't do this. Do you think Roy Halladay is okay? I mean, Lewis Yocum isn't a "went to go live on a farm upstate" doctor, right? Don't tell me if he is.
Dr. Yocum is one of the best doctor's in the business. I wouldn't worry too much. I hear many of his patients live very comfortable lives as Wal-Mart greeters.
3. The Giants have walked off two nights in a row now. That's the kind of mojo that can make a team fill invincible. I remember when were that team. So young, so virile, so full of life. Do you feel like you're enjoying that feeling while you can? Because it's fleeting. **Stands up, pounds fists on table.** FLEETING I TELL YOU.
I don't know who the Giants sold their souls to, but whomever it is, man he's going to have one hell of a payoff down the road. Until then though, we're riding these wheels off this bitch. Wait, a wheel popped? Crap. Maybe Madison Bumgarner can change the tire (because, you know, Madison Bumgarner changed the team bus tire..and..and…you heard that story, right? No, well, TMZ said it was true. So there).
4. So, Angel Pagan has a hamstring issue, huh? We were in the market for Pagan once. Traded for Ben Revere instead. And he's nice and healthy. Of course he's hitting a monstrous .204 and his OBP is a hysterically horrid .243. There was a question in here somewhere.
If you're still in the market for Pagan, I'd be more than happy to trade his defense. I mean, I love his offense, but I'm pretttttty sure a chicken with their head cut off (or a Pablo Sandoval at an all you can eat buffet) would take better routes.
5. Bruce Bochy has said Brandon Belt won't hit 8th for him, but he is and continues to. Would you say Bruce Bochy is a gutless liar or a cowardly deceiver? You can only pick one of those two things.
I'm going to say both, only because I'm a gutless question answerer. Public Enemy told me to fight the power, so, uh, I'm going to do just that. FIGHT THE POWER. Or the question asker. Or something.
6. I noticed on Twitter you mark your location as "Lou Seal's pants." What would you say if I revealed that LOU SEAL DOESN'T HAVE ANY PANTS.
Why do you think he doesn't have any pants? I jacked that Pinniped. And yes, you can Google that…

Dreamworks' Megamind a Familiar but Funny Trip
- Friday, November 05, 2010
Ferrell's voice work is fine, but Fey's Roxanne is the key to much of the film's enjoyment. Whether taking Megamind down a peg or warding off the unwanted advances by Hal, Roxanne is fearless and independent, a spunky heroine who should appeal to young women looking for someone to stand toe to toe with the male superheroes.
But who's looking for a serious message in a silly movie like Megamind? Its story may feel a bit familiar at times, but if it's laughs you want, you won't be disappointed.
Language/Profanity: "Butt"; "freakin'"; a t-shirt says "Bite Me."
Smoking/Drinking/Drugs: Wine/champagne served with dinner.
Sex/Nudity: A hug and a kiss.
Violence/Crime: Megamind learns the difference between "right" and "wrong" from prisoners; Megamind is pummeled during a dodgeball game; a tasering; Megamind is punched; Megamind threatens a reporter, who remains unfazed even after she's kidnapped by Megamind; a death ray destroys an observatory, and a skeleton of someone inside the observatory lands at Megamind's feet; a character is smacked with a stick; a wedgie; a car accident; a large-scale fight scene; car wrecks; explosions; a threat to "go gangsta" on someone.
Religion/Morals: Brief mentions of fate, for example, "Even fate picks its favorites"; discussion of how goodness if valued and rewarded, while evil is punished; Megamind says he was destined to be a super-villain because being bad was the only thing he was any good at; soundtrack includes several heavy-metal songs, including AC/DC's "Highway to Hell," although the word "hell" is cut off as it plays; a reference to "evil heaven"; Megamind is dubbed an "evil overlord"; a theme about how evil can't exist without some good to oppose it; a man is said to be "infused with godlike power"; a reference to the "blackest part" of one's heart, and to some "good" within; a distinction between the path given us and the path we make for ourselves.

It's impossible to tell exactly when beauty contests or beauty pageants began, but they certainly existed since antiquity. For example, in Troy, in Ellas, on Lesbos Island, in ancient China etc, beauty pageants were a form of entertainment. Even in the Ottoman Empire, despite strict Islamic morals, rulers entertained themselves with competitions to choose the most gorgeous wife in their harem.
It's interesting how the perception of beauty have changed over time. Looking at the beauty quins of the past and the women of today I am sure you will agree they aren't beautiful as todays "modern woman". What was once considered beautiful and fashionable is now even laughable.
The first modern Europen pageant was held in 1839 in Scotland. The title of "Queen of Beauty" was awarded to the 30 year old Jane Georgiana Sheridan (5 November 1809 – 14 December 1884), wife of Edward Seymour, 12th Duke of Somerset and sister of noted author Caroline Norton .
The first modern American pageant, involving the display of women's faces and figures before judges, was staged by Phineas Taylor Barnum in 1854, but his beauty contest was closed down by public protest.
It was in the 1880s that beauty pageants became more popular and the first "Bathing Beauty Pageant" took place as part of a summer festival to promote business in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

These weird and wacky creations might be ridiculous, but they're fun to look and laugh at.

5. Al Said – approx. $300 million, size 155m (508,53ft)
This luxurious yacht is owned by the Sultan Qaboos (net worth $700 Million) of Oman . This 155m (508,53ft) long motor yacht was custom designed and build back in 2008 by Lurssen Yachts.
It can accommodate up to 70 guests with a crew of 154. For easy access it has a helipad in the back.
In ancient Amphipolis,near Serres (northern Greece, 370 miles (600km) north of Athens), archaeolgists unearthed an impressive burial mound the colossal size of which (497 meters long and three meters high-the biggest tomb found in Greece, it's ten times larger than that of Alexander's father, Philip II of Macedon.) suggests that the tomb was built for someone extremely important and could belong to the wife and son of Alexander the Great, Roxane and Alexander IV.

Mykonos Island is the most popular but also the most expensive Greek island (I bet you will spend more money than you expect to so bring extra money and credit cards ).

If you have chosen Rhodes for your vacation then congrats, you have made a great choice! Rhodes is one of the best Greek islands and offers almost any kind of holiday you could want. If you want peace and quiet, you ll find it on Rhodes. If you want activities and night-life, Rhodes has got it. If you want to explore history and culture, that is there too. There is something interesting to do every day.
Who said we can't have summer and winter at the same time?
If you are in Germany in winter time and dream about having a coctail in a tropical beach you only have to drive about 60 km southeast of Berlin to reach something never before seen in northeast Germany: tropical paradise.
Here I am! Luxury Turkish resort is calling all snap-happy travellers to apply for a summer job – as a Chief Instagram Officer (whose only job is to snap pictures as they relax in five-star comfort!!!!!! I want this job!!!)
Six travellers will spend a week each at the Hillside Beach Club
Their job will be to take photos of everything from the beach to the spa. Wow!

Barber and Cowboys to Talk This Week
According to reports at the Star-Telegram, the Cowboys are expect to start talks with Marion Barber and his agent this week at the NFL Combine. Barber is a restricted free agent that had a very impressive season this past year and looks to make a long term deal with the Cowboys.
For those of you who remain interested in Darren McFadden, I don't think this is going to happen. The Cowboys have $13 million left in their salary cap and have to take care of their free agents and draft picks. McFadden would cost the Cowboys a lot of money that they just don't have to spend. Stranger things have happened but I don't see it.
Personally, I think the Cowboys should hold on to Marion Barber and draft another running back. They are going to need a backup. Julius Jones is definitely not sticking around and Tyson Thompson did horrible last year, even thought he didn't get much of a chance. I'm not sure how many running backs are available in free agency, I doubt very many good ones. They are definitely hard to come by.
Lock up Barber! Do it NOW!
I agree that we definitely need a two-back system similar to last years. I'm personally intrigued by the other running backs moreso than Darren McFadden. I believe Rashard Mendenhall is the best back in this draft, and him, Felix Jones and Jamaal Charles should all be on Dallas' list
I agree that we definitely need a two-back system similar to last years. I'm personally intrigued by the other running backs moreso than Darren McFadden. I believe Rashard Mendenhall is the best back in this draft, and him, Felix Jones and Jamaal Charles should all be on Dallas' list
barber is a great back. i sure hope the boys lock him up long term. if mcfadden is there at #4 when the raiders pick then see about qa trade. maybe 2 # 1's and a 2 next year.
I think the Cowboys should draft a speed back. We all know Barber has power and some speed but a running back like JJ once looked like, speed and agility, would be a perfect compliment to Barber's running style
The Cowboys need to sign Barber ASAP, and not dwell on the inevitable. Then they need to forget McFadden. It will never happen. Not without taking a tremendous hit not worthy of the deal to begin with. The Cowboys then need to look at Michael Turner SD, or Aaron Stecker NO to help Barber. If not enough money to do that, then look at the draft. If Dallas can sure up the backfield with Barber and someone like Turner, they will not need WR help. They could focus more on the Defensive secondary.
The Cowboys definitely need to resign Marion Barber III immediately and acquire another running back via the draft or free agency. Help for the secondary is also on the priority list as well as receivers, Terrell Owens is not getting any younger and who knows about Terry Glen? Please don't ask me about Jackie (Patrick Crayton) Smith, it is my opinion that he is like old luggage and is not worthy of wearing the Cowboys uniform.
MBIII has to remain a Cowboy. He has the attitude and desire, and is only going to get better. Go Cowboys!!!

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- In the first month it's been illegal to text while driving in Florida, WINK News has learned Southwest Florida law enforcement officers have only issued a total of 5 citations.
We checked with Naples Police, Collier County Sheriff's Office, Lee County Sheriff's Office, Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, Fort Myers Police and Cape Coral Police. Fort Myers Police issued one citation, Lee County issued four, and Collier County said its computer system is not updated to recognize the citation yet.
Law enforcement leaders tell us there are several reasons that is the case. Many agencies allow a grace period for the first 30 days of a new law to educate drivers.
Sgt. Dana Coston with the Cape Coral Police Department says because it is a secondary offense, "an officer must observe another traffic violation in order to initiate the traffic stop, once they have initiated the traffic stop, then and only then, can they take enforcement action on someone for texting and driving."
He says the small number of citations doesn't come as a shock, "it's not completely surprising, there are several caveats in the law that allow for some flexibility that works in the driver's favor and makes it more difficult for the officer to write a citation and enforce the statute."
Coston says there are also several exceptions to the law. He says, "an officer, when enforcing this has to be able to testify in court that they observed the offender not using their phone for GPS purposes or adjusting music but in fact for sending or receiving text messages while the vehicle is in motion. In order to have a successful case go to court, the officer is really going to have to have a solid case against the driver for committing the violation," he said.
He adds, it will probably take 1-2 years before they'll know whether the law is effective.

About Comfortzone Camp
Comfort Zone Camp is a nonprofit bereavement camp that transforms the lives of children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. The free camps include confidence building programs and age-based support groups that break the emotional isolation grief often brings. Comfort Zone Camps are offered to children 7-17.
Camp is mostly about fun. We play games, hike, sing karaoke (or watch), and eat s'mores. But there are also times throughout the weekend where you will be able to hear other kids' stories, and have the chance to tell your own. Everything is done by choice, so you can share as much - or as little - as you want.
Camp gave me "new eyes" by Carly, Camp Big Buddy.
I lost my brother to suicide in 2007 when I was three and a half months pregnant with my first daughter. The loss of my only sibling devastated me. It shook my world in a way that I was not prepared for and surely did not expect. Being a wife, a new mother, and working as a licensed clinical social worker, left me little time to grieve. I had another child in 2009 and life did not slow down. Instead of dealing with my grief, I ignored it. I thought that dealing with my grief would make my loss more real. In 2011, I attended a training for Comfort Zone Camp. I was matched and attended my first camp as a Big Buddy two months later. I have since volunteered in three additional camps. As a result, I slowly saw my ideas of grief, grieving, and loss unravel. I witnessed children who were not even able to say who they lost at the start of their weekend, be able to share their entire story at the end. I observed raw emotions such as: anguish, helplessness, anger, and fear transform into an emotion no one expected- hope. Simply put, Comfort Zone Camp is a community built for children to come together and feel accepted, gain support, visualize loss through new eyes.
About North Carolina CZCamps
NC's Mission:To bring NC's community and business leaders together; in order to support and fund CZC grief services to NC's children and their families who desperately need a place to feel understood and less alone in their grief.
NC's Vision:To continue to show care, compassion and connection to NC children and their families by creating a "blue print" in which to dublicate and expand CZC services throughout our cities and state.
