Resident's Rights
Anyone (residents, relatives, friends or even the staff of a facility) may initiate a complaint on behalf of the resident. Often residents are unable to do it themselves. Only as mutually agreed upon, between the ombudsman and the resident or his/her legal representative, the ombudsman will make every reasonable effort to assist, represent and intervene on behalf of the resident. Services are provided to persons:
- Without regard for income and resources
- As requested by an individual or on behalf of an individual
- Available to a person who resides in a long-term care facility
- Available to a person attempting to enter a facility
If you are a resident or have a loved one in a nursing home, the link below can provide information highlighting your rights.
Ombudsman Program Overview
The heart of the Long Term Care Ombudsmen Program is the team of certified Ombudsmen who are empowered to resolve issues surrounding the care and quality of life for people living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Ombudsmen are there to represent the residents' interests. It is the residents' desires and needs that are considered and acted upon.
Being an Ombudsman is an important responsibility that is taken on with great care and professionalism. In Utah, Ombudsmen are certified only after receiving extensive training.
Code of Ethics
As an Ombudsman
- Participate in efforts to maintain and promote the integrity of the long-term care Ombudsman program.
- Act in accordance with its standards and procedures.
- Recognize the boundaries of my own level of training and skills and consult with an Ombudsman supervisor when needed.
- Provide services with respect for human dignity and the individuality of the resident unrestricted by considerations of age, social or economic status, personal characteristics or lifestyle.
- Respect and promote residents' rights of self-determination, making every reasonable effort to act in accordance with residents' wishes.
- Continually safeguard the confidentiality of residents and not divulge any information unless an immediate life-threatening situation overrides this discretion.
- Participate in efforts to promote a quality long-term care system.
- Avoid any conflict of interest or appearance of conflict of interest (including gain) in the provision of Ombudsman services within nursing or Assisted Living Homes.
You Can Volunteer!
Are you interested in using your time and talents to serve as an advocate for nursing home and adult care facility residents? The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is looking for volunteers to serve as certified Ombudsmen to improve the quality of care and quality of life to residents living in long term care facilities.
Certified Ombudsman not only visit residents, investigate and resolve complaints, but also use their skills to advocate for the rights of residents in nursing homes and other long term care facilities. The dual focus of quality of care and quality of life enables the volunteers to assure that residents are cared for appropriately.
Volunteers serve as a voice for residents of nursing homes and assisted living centers. Certified Ombudsmen are indispensable in ensuring that all facilities meet mandated, legal standards for every person requiring long term care.

Sept. 23, 2015 — A team of scientists at the Children's Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) has become the first to use a tissue-clearing technique to localize a rare stem cell population, in the process cracking open a black box containing detailed information about where blood-forming stem cells are located and how they are maintained.
The findings, published in Nature, provide a significant advance toward understanding the microenvironment in which stem cells reside within the bone marrow.
Watch the video below, and read the news release.
Aug. 18, 2015 — Le Qi, a Ph.D. student researcher at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI), has been selected as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute International Student Research Fellow. Qi, from China, is one of only 45 international students from 18 countries chosen to receive a fellowship.
Qi is completing his Ph.D. studies in the Hamon Laboratory for Stem Cell and Cancer Biology under the direction of Dr. Sean Morrison, Director of CRI and an HHMI Investigator. Dr. Morrison is originally from Canada, and was selected as an HHMI International Predoctoral Fellow when he was completing his Ph.D. at Stanford University.
"It feels like an opportunity to give back a little by now mentoring one of these students in my lab," said Dr. Morrison. "These are all students who have an opportunity to do something special. The fellowships fill a major need, while also supporting some of the strongest and most highly selected students in the country."

Dec. 10, 2014 — According to National Cancer Institute statistics, by the end of this year more than 16,000 children under the age of 19 will have been diagnosed with cancer. Although cancer in children is rare and not well understood, it is the leading cause of disease-related death among children and teenagers. But the outlook is improving thanks to cutting edge research at the genetic level. That research could be medicine's next big thing.
Dr. Hao Zhu, an Assistant Professor at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern and a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research, has pinpointed a gene that contributes to childhood cancers like neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor and liver cancer.

Nov. 24, 2014 — Dr. Hao Zhu, an Assistant Professor at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern, has been awarded a $1.35 million grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) for research related to the development of effective therapies for chronic liver disease and liver cancer.
Liver cancer, which is almost always preceded by cirrhosis, is a significant cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In the United States, Texas has the second highest incidence rate of liver cancer.
"We recently identified a genetic pathway known as the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling pathway that when suppressed, results in better liver regeneration and the potential for preventing liver cancer," said Dr. Zhu, who is also a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research. "With the help of this generous funding support, we will use mouse models to validate the pathway as a target in chronic liver disease and liver cancer, and then work to develop novel compounds for the simultaneous treatment of cirrhosis and cancer in the liver."
Nov. 3, 2014 — Scientists at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have identified a metabolic pathway that allows cancer cells to survive periods of stress brought on by blocking the major pathway by which cells produce energy.
Most cells survive and grow by oxidizing glucose. This pathway involves first converting glucose into a smaller molecule called pyruvate, then importing the pyruvate into the mitochondria where it supplies pathways that provide energy and building blocks for growth.
CRI researchers led by Dr. Ralph DeBerardinis sought to understand whether transfer of pyruvate into the mitochondria is required for cancer cell survival and growth. They determined that although blocking pyruvate entry did, as expected, compromise the energy state of the cell, it simultaneously activated a second pathway fueled by the amino acid glutamine.
This new pathway provided enough flow of mitochondrial metabolism that cancer cells were able to survive and, to some extent, continue to grow. The glutamine-dependent pathway involved activation of an enzyme, glutamate dehydrogenase, which was normally suppressed in cells importing pyruvate into the mitochondria.
The CRI research team used models of brain and lung cancer cell growth to demonstrate that blocking either mitochondrial pyruvate import or glutamate dehydrogenase alone was fairly well tolerated. However, blocking both pathways rapidly led to cancer cell death.
Similarly, treating mice with inhibitors of both activities simultaneously — but not either one alone — significantly reduced tumor growth. Because many solid tumors, like those in the brain and lung, likely contain regions in which access to glucose or pyruvate is compromised, the new glutamine-dependent pathway may provide a survival mechanism to avoid tumor cell starvation. If so, then blocking glutamate dehydrogenase or other steps in the pathway may provide a therapeutic benefit.

Oct. 9, 2014 — Researchers are just now beginning to appreciate the ways in which differences in protein synthesis among mammalian somatic cells are necessary for tissue development and homeostasis, as new approaches are making it possible to more generally compare protein synthesis and its regulation among different kinds of cells.
Dr. Sean Morrison, Director of the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern, is senior author of a review of research that focuses on differences in protein synthesis, protein stability, and ribosome assembly among cells that are critical for tissue development and homeostasis.
The mechanisms that underlie these differences are only beginning to be clarified, but they are already providing fundamental new insights into development, tissue regeneration, and how these processes go wrong in degenerative diseases and cancer.

I posted in The pregnancy group but I wanted to see what you ladies thought. I am 11 weeks pregnant and yesterday I noticed a bald spot on the back of my head. I have never been diagnosed with alopecia nor did I have any bald spots before getting pregnant. Could the pregnancy be causing this or is it something else?

Beauty pageant
A beauty pageant is a competition that has traditionally focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants, although some contests have evolved to also incorporate personality, intelligence, talent, and answers to judges' questions as judged criteria. The term almost invariably refers only to contests for women and girls; with similar events for men or boys being called by other names and are more likely to be bodybuilding contests.
A winner of a beauty contest is often called a beauty queen. Child beauty pageants mainly focus on beauty, gowns, sportswear modelling, talent, and personal interviews. Adult and teen pageants focus on makeup, hair and gowns, swimsuit modelling, and personal interviews. Possible awards include titles, tiaras or crowns, sashes, savings bonds, scholarships, and cash prizes. However adult and teen pageants have been moving more towards judging speaking, and many no longer contain swimsuit or talent sections.
Subject to community standards, the organisers of each pageant may determine the rules of the competition, including the age range of contestants. The rules may also require the contestants to be unmarried, and be "virtuous", be "amateur", be available for promotions, besides other criteria. It may also set the clothing standards in which contestants will be judged, including the type of swimsuit.

The first modern beauty pageant was held during the Eglinton Tournament of 1839 held by Archibald Montgomerie, 13th Earl of Eglinton, a re-enactment of a medieval joust that was held in Scotland. The pageant was won by Georgiana Seymour, Duchess of Somerset, the wife of Edward Seymour, 12th Duke of Somerset and sister of Caroline Norton, and she was proclaimed as the 'Queen of Beauty'.
Entrepreneur Phineas Taylor Barnum staged the first modern American pageant in 1854, but his beauty contest was closed down by public protest.[8][9] He previously held dog, baby, and bird beauty contests.[citation needed] He substituted daguerreotypes for judging, a practice quickly adopted by newspapers. Newspapers held photo beauty contests for many decades.
It was in the 1880s that beauty pageants became more popular. In 1888 the title of 'beauty queen' was awarded to an 18-year-old Creole contestant at a pageant in Spa, Belgium. All participants had to supply a photograph and a short description of themselves to be eligible for entry and a final selection of 21 were judged by a formal panel.[10]
Miss America Pageant[edit]
The oldest pageant still in operation today is the Miss America pageant, which was organised in 1921 by a local businessman as a means to entice tourists to Atlantic City, New Jersey.[1] The pageant hosted the winners of local newspaper beauty contests in the "Inter-City Beauty" Contest, which was attended by over one hundred thousand people. Sixteen-year-old Margaret Gorman of Washington, D.C. was crowned Miss America 1921, having won both the popularity and beauty contests, and was awarded $100.[11]
International Pageants[edit]
In May 1920 promoter C.E. Barfield of Galveston, Texas organized a new event known as "Splash Day" on the island. The event featured a "Bathing Girl Revue" competition as the centerpiece of its attractions.[12][13][14][15] The event was the kick-off of the summer tourist season in the city and was carried forward annually. The event quickly became known outside of Texas and, beginning in 1926, the world's first international contest was added, known as the International Pageant of Pulchritude.[14] This contest is said to have served as a model for modern pageants.[15][16][17] It featured contestants from England, Russia, Turkey, and many other nations and the title awarded at the time was known as "Miss Universe."[15][18] The event was discontinued in the United States in 1932 because of the Depression (the international competition was revived briefly in Belgium).
The first extant international competition to be established was the Miss World pageant, created in the United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951,[19][20] and is still one of the most publicised beauty contests in the world.[21][22][23] The competition started as the Festival Bikini Contest, in honour of the recently introduced swimwear of the time, but was called "Miss World" by the media. It was originally planned as a one-off event. Upon learning about the upcoming Miss Universe pageant, Morley decided to make the pageant an annual event.[24][25] Opposition to the wearing of bikinis led to their replacement with more modest swimwear after the first contest.[26] In 1959, the BBC started broadcasting the competition. The pageant's popularity grew with the advent of television.[27]
The largest international beauty pageants are Miss World (founded in 1951) and Miss Universe (begun in 1952).
European festivals dating to the medieval era provide the most direct lineage for beauty pageants. For example, English May Day celebrations always involved the selection of queens. In the United States, the May Day tradition of selecting women to serve as symbols of bounty and community ideals continued, as young beautiful women participated in public celebrations.[29]
Some pageants award college scholarships, to the winner or multiple runners-up.[30]
Selection of "beauty queen"[edit]
Beauty pageants are generally multi-tiered, with local competitions feeding into the larger competitions.[31] International pageants involve hundreds, sometimes thousands, of local competitions.
Critics of beauty contests argue that such contests reinforce the idea that girls and women should be valued primarily for their physical appearance, and that this puts tremendous pressure on women to conform to conventional beauty standards by spending time and money on fashion, cosmetics, hair styling and even cosmetic surgery. They claim that this pursuit of physical beauty even encourages some women to diet to the point of harming themselves.[32][33][34]
It is argued that rather than being empowering, beauty pageants are in fact disempowering because they deny the full humanity of women and they reinforce the idea that women's purpose is to look attractive.[35]

Firefox Quick Tip: Session Restore
This probably happened to you especially if you're running on Windows. Now, there are times when our friend Bill's OS (at least from Windows 3.1 to XP, I haven't tried Vista yet) have been known to be too schizophrenic to let you get through a surfing session without locking up. It has happened to me hundreds of times.
I really hate it when I'm well into my research with multiple tabs open when without any warning, the system hangs. I bring up the Task Manager and several of my applications show that stupid "Not Responding" status, including Firefox. So that leaves me with no choice but force it to close along with my unsaved and unbookmarked research. Grrr…
Good thing Firefox 2 now has the Session Restore option. Every time Firefox is forced to quit, it keeps track of the URLs and states of the tabs and windows that you've been browsing. When you start Firefox again, you've got a message with an option to restore your previous session. Neat!
Plus, you can set Firefox to immediately load your previous session automatically. Here's how:
- Bring up Tools -> Options
- In the Main tab, there's an option "When Firefox starts." Click the drop-down list and select "Show my windows and tabs from last time."

Very useful! ^_^ Thanks.

Newly constructed in 1999, the hotel is ideally situated on a plateau at 1860 metres a.s.l. amidst a pristine landscape. The generously-sized twin rooms have been lovingly furnished with stone pine furniture and have a terrace that offers up spectacular views. Predominantly Graubünden specialities prepared using regional products are served in the restaurant and the 'Arven lounge'. The hotel is readily accessible by private car, post bus and – especially romantically – by horse-drawn carriage.
Getting to the Hotel Rothorn Kulm (2266 m.a.s.l.) is quite an experience. No prosaic getting there by car or even by aerial cable-car but by steam-driven rack-and-pinion train. The ride there can even be made more romantic by getting to Brienz by a paddle-steamer from Interlaken plying Lake Brienz and Lake Thun.
For winter sport fans, the position of the unique and newly constructed Ski-In & Ski-Out Resort in the Engadine is just perfect! Access to the Piz Corvatsch cable car is directly in front of the hotel and each room has a balcony or terrace. Three restaurants, own bakery, Nira Spa with 5 treatment rooms, sauna, steam bath, Arabian-style Rasul bath, whirlpool, room to relax and top-modern gym are further features, as well as a well-equipped library for book worms.
Located in the Bregaglia mountain village of Soglio, surrounded by a wonderful historic garden, this hotel hails from the 17th century. It has been under the same management since1989. Rooms are decorated from four different centuries. Local specialities are served in the restaurant Sala, while barbeques are held in the garden and whatever the heart desires is served between the tall hedges.

Since I was the only non-Albanian in the mosque that day, I had absolutely no idea what to do and when to do it during the ritualistic-heavy ceremony.
Realizing my learning curve was becoming a distraction, I spotted a bench all alone in the back of the room. I figured it was there for spectators like me.
I made my way to the bench and, for the first time since stepping foot in this place, I felt my body relax. Perhaps that's why, when the back few rows of people turned around and started to yell, it took me a few seconds to realize they were yelling at me. Read More

A New Definition of "Friendly": Hundred Celebrities Charity Sales of 2014 A.R.T.
There are many lines of queuing in life, but none like this one lively occured in Art Revolution Taipei (A.R.T.)! People queued for artworks sized of 17.5 x 14 cm and only asking for NTD$ 1000 per each, for their beloved celebrities, or maybe just for the fun from purchasing; but in the end, all for Charity, and forms an Friendly Action Art!
Getting friends sometimes is not easy in busy life in modern Taipei, but well organized activity like this one succesfully breaked the ice since the first debut on 2011 A.R.T.!
Some people started to explore art world from this activity, to get new friends sharing same interests. Moreover, they might know more about themselves from actioning, friends and art works come to them! To be an actionist in this art action is easy when necessity is ready, e.g., utter child innocence.
p.s. I got one from hair designer Joseph Torreneuva, and happily to know his genuine and kind heart for Charity and Art!

The Civic Symphony of Green Bay has a surprising concert lined up Friday - rousing football themes.
Many of the pieces are bursts of heroics and adrenaline made for NFL Films.
The man who wrote much of that music is coming from Munich, Germany, to conduct.
Steering the extraordinary project is Christopher Sampson, communications director for the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and a board member of Brown County Civic Music Association.
The trail of the Civic Symphony concert traces over the past few years - and perhaps Sampson's lifetime.
"I was born in 1959, the year Vince Lombardi came to Green Bay, and my dad, Al Sampson, was the WBAY, Channel 2, sports director in the 1960s, and he co-hosted 'The Vince Lombardi Show' and also was the preseason play-by-play guy on the TV broadcasts," Sampson said.
Al Sampson was a colorful TV personality, and his outdoor reports became legend.
About two years ago, Christopher Sampson picked up the CD "Power and the Glory," a brilliant compilation from NFL Films. He liked it a lot, as did his son, Kevin, who played in the Green Bay East High School Orchestra.
"The soundtrack stuff that I was hearing every day on 'SportsCenter' or as background on TV and radio commercials, local and national, he had grown up hearing snippets of on shows like 'The Simpsons' or 'SpongeBob SquarePants,'" Sampson said.
"Dad, we should see if we can get the scores to these," Kevin told his father. "We (the East orchestra) could play these."
The idea hit a snag. The sheet music isn't available commercially.
Flash forward many months: Sampson discovers a California orchestra has done a "Tribute to Sam Spence" as a Father's Day concert and gets the e-mail address of Spence, who composed many of the NFL themes.
"That's how I found out that, if you couldn't get NFL Films scores for your group, you could do one better: You could get 84-year-old Sam Spence to come in for a guest residency and he'd bring the music," Sampson said.
"Now, NFL Films still owns the rights, but because Sam sort of put them on the map - he was really the 'lead' composer for them during the years they hit it big - they don't begrudge him going out and performing/conducting his music. Steve Sabol gave us a written waiver on the idea of a Green Bay concert."
Sabol is president of NFL Films and fully aware that NFL Films' and Lombardi's rise with the Packers went hand-in-hand.
The concert will include such titles as "Up She Rises," "Magnificent Eleven," "Sabers and Six Guns Suite," "Torpedo," "Tomorrow the World" and "The Final Quest."
Sampson discovered a sidelight.
"Because Munich was a world music capital with multiple symphony orchestras, that's where USC-educated Sam chose to work in the 1950s. As a result, some of America's most-heard and most 'all-American' music is actually performed by European players," he said.
Narrating and hosting the concert will be Bill Jartz, WBAY, Channel 2, anchorman and stadium announcer at Lambeau Field.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette has supplied photos from most eras of Packers history for projecting on a screen.
Augmenting the orchestra will be players from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and the community.
"We needed the jazz band and big band to do justice to the range of Sam Spence's most famous NFL scores," Sampson said. "He did nearly as much jazz and big band as classical."
It will be Spence's first trip to Green Bay - "where the Packers helped put his music on the map, and vice versa," Sampson said.

What is Membership?
Since the beginning, GreenStar's mission focused on making nutritious, whole food available to its members. But membership means more than just access to good, healthy food...
When you join the Co-op you become a Member-Owner of a locally-owned and cooperatively operated values-based business. We focus on the social and environmental impact GreenStar makes on our local and global community, as well as economic performance. We put our values first, and return all profits back to the Co-op or donate them to the community.
One Member – One Vote means your voice truly counts!
Like all consumer co-ops, GreenStar is owned and democratically run by the people who use the store. Unlike traditional corporations where the amount of a stockholder's investment determines his or her voting power, every member at GreenStar has equal voting rights. As a Member-Owner, you have an equal say in the future direction of GreenStar.
By investing and participating in your co-op, you're putting your values into action.
Through your Equity Share investment and patronage, GreenStar supports the health and well-being of our member-owners, our community and the planet by:
- Purchasing from local farmers and businesses
- Paying a livable wage
- Using clean energy and recycled office supplies
- Supporting organic agriculture and fair trade producers
- Offering health insurance to employees
- Donating to local charities and events
- Providing education on nutrition, health and sustainability
- Improving access to healthy food to those on limited budgets through the FLOWER program
9,000+ Member-Owners and Going Strong!
Friday, 28 February 2014 15:58
By Alexis Alexander,
Membership Manager
This week our General Manager, Brandon Kane, and I submitted the annual Membership report to Council. What fabulous news we had to share! Our growing membership is a strong sign that our cooperative values and corresponding emphasis on a triple bottom line — people and planet, as well as profit — resonate with an increasing number of individuals in our community. The report also reveals that our effort to increase healthy food access to lower-income individuals and families is meeting with success.
In 2013, we issued 1,758 new memberships. While this number was down slightly from 2012, we were expecting a decline due to a renewal policy implemented last June. The new policy allows those with expired memberships to simply reactivate their membership with a single renewal payment rather than forfeiting their old membership and starting a new one. Many people did just that.
August, with the large influx of students returning to town, continues to be the month with the highest number of new memberships — 241 in 2013. This figure reflects the outreach efforts GreenStar has undertaken at the area colleges, in addition to the growing involvement of younger people in economic and environmental sustainability initiatives.
Switch to Email, Plant a Tree, Change Lives!
Monday, 03 February 2014 00:13
By Alexis Alexander, Membership Manager
In February, GreenStar member-owners who haven't yet signed up to have required member-owner mailings sent to them via email will have an exciting opportunity to do so. Are you wondering how this could be exciting? For every member-owner who switches to email, GreenStar will make a donation to Trees for the Future; thus, a tree will be planted on behalf of our membership for each new person who makes the switch. Our goal is to have 1,000 member-owners switch to email, which would represent 1,000 new trees being planted!
To sign up for getting the required member-owner mailing by email, you can fill out a contact information form available at the Member Centers at either store.
Trees for the Future (TREES) plants trees with rural communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, helping them to restore their environment, grow more food, and build a sustainable future. Our goal of 1,000 trees would contribute to rebuilding forests for replenishing critical groundwater supplies to provide for future generations. TREES has helped revitalize lands degraded by illegal logging and unsustainable land management systems by providing farmers with tree seed, technical training, and on-site planning assistance. Since the eighties, TREES has assisted thousands of communities in 19 countries in planting millions of trees. To learn more about Trees for the Future, check out their website: www.treesforthefuture.org.
Super-Worker Volunteer Opportunities Abound — Become Involved Today!
Sunday, 05 January 2014 11:10
By Alexis Alexander,
Membership Manager
If you've been thinking about volunteering in the store on a weekly basis at GreenStar, you couldn't pick a better time! With a growing interest in cooperatives and our business going strong, our department managers have responded by creating more shifts, enabling more member-owners to participate in the everyday workings of the Co-op. Therefore, we currently have a wide variety of in-store super-worker opportunities.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is an important co-op tradition that provides member-owners the opportunity to become actively involved in supporting the mission of the co-op. It's a great way for us, as member-owners, to connect with one another while supporting the business that we mutually help govern and own. Volunteering also yields a great member-owner benefit, since volunteers receive a higher discount at the register in return for their participation in the store.
What's the commitment?
We ask for a four-month commitment for super-worker shifts. Super-workers are assigned to a two-hour weekly shift in a specific department. The day and time is the same each week. Super-workers receive a 17½ percent discount, good for one week, for every two-hour shift worked.
How to volunteer?
All available super-worker shifts are posted at the Member Center in both the West-End and Oasis locations. To request a super-worker shift, simply choose one or two shifts on the board that work for you and fill out a "Member Labor Request Form." You'll receive a call from either Oasis or the West-End store, depending on which shift you sign up for. We fill super-worker shifts on a first-come first-served basis, so it's a good idea to request two shifts since there may be other people in line before you for a given shift.

I know, I've missed a couple of deadlines! The first one (May 20th) was my birthday and I got so busy that it got put off, and then June 6th rolled around and I realized I wasn't ready yet. So here we are, a little late, in the late spring and I finally have some photos ready to share with you! They range from before May 20th to June 7th, so I think they can be fittingly called "Late Spring Fling," photos. Hope you like them!
Vernal Transition
Everyone, shall we count to three and breathe a collective sigh of relief? 1… 2… 3… aaaaaaaahhhhhh. GoodBYE Winter! I think we can officially take off the snow tires and pack away the thermal underwear. We don't have to look for signs of Spring anymore because you can't miss them now! You best believe I've been out vigilantly documenting it with the Canon!
Signs of Spring
Spring is a fickle mistress in Ontario. One day it's 21°C, the next it's 2°C. It could snow at any moment. For this reason we don't rely on the temperatures to tell us summer is coming. It's better to watch for the first of the Red-Winged Blackbirds, the return of the Turkey Vultures, the Warblers and the Killdear; To listen for the Spring Peepers chirping their chorus and best of all to watch the spring flowers burst from the ground. Crocus and snow drops are usually the first garden flowers. Skunk cabbage, wild ginger, blue cohosh, sharp-lobed hepatica, blood root, early meadow-rue and trout lily are the first of the wild-flowers around here (Carolinian Forest Area).
Here are a few signs of spring I've seen in the last week!
Night Skies
Getting a good photo at night is challenging. Finding the correct exposure takes a while and before you now it the clouds of blown in and your chance at the perfect shot is gone. I'm lucky enough to have a guy who doesn't mind keeping me company (and juggling the lenses and lens caps and tripod and bags that I'm constantly asking him to hold for me) every time there's a Super Moon or a really starry sky. I think I take the romance right out of a walk under the stars when I say "shut up for a second and don't move," so that nothing shakes during a 30 second exposure, haha!
So, this one is dedicated to my partner in crime. Thanks for putting up with me!
Summers Past
A small selection of images from summers past. I'm particularly proud of the shot of the fork lightning bolt striking Lake Ontario near the Burlington Skyway Bridge! What are you looking forward to this summer? Flowers? Thunder storms? Sunsets on quiet lakes? Walking the dog without having to put on long underwear? What are you favourite memories of summers past?
It's always exciting to get a great shot of a bird of prey, and it can be difficult because they are very shy of people in the wild and don't like to be approached. Some of these are lucky shots of wild birds and some are shots of captive birds at the Raptor Centre at Mountsberg Conservation area. Either way, they are such beautiful animals and a joy to photograph.
Cottage Life
It has been frigid, and I really haven't had the urge to brave the cold to take some new photos. So instead of dwelling on the wintery situation, I've decided to remind you of summer.
A portion of almost every summer of life has been spent in the Parry Sound area/cottage country in Ontario. I have been lucky enough to have had a family cottage and relatives in the area. My summers, therefore, have always involved listening to loons, watching the sun set on the lake, being amazed at the ability of pine, cedar and spruce trees to grow on bare rock, fishing, roasting marshmallows at a camp fire, and most importantly catching frogs and the occasional snake.
Here are a few photos that bring me right back to my summers "up north" and make me feel warm on the inside while my outside shivers. BRRRRR!

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmacyclics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCYC) today announced that it has begun treating patients in a Phase 1 dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PCI-32765, an orally available, selective inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, or Btk, as a potential treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). This is the first Btk selective inhibitor to be tested in humans, and is Pharmacyclics' fourth product in clinical development.
Bruton's tyrosine kinase is the gene that is disrupted in the human disease X-linked agammaglobulenemia (XLA). Patients with XLA are devoid of mature B-lymphocytes and immunoglobulins in the bloodstream, but are otherwise healthy. XLA thus provides strong clinical rationale for development of a novel therapeutic drug targeting Btk for safe inhibition of B-cell mediated diseases. In preclinical studies, PCI-32765 has the remarkable ability to selectively inhibit human B-cell activation without effecting T cells. Strong preclinical validation of Btk as a target in lymphoma was generated using PCI-32765 in a mouse model of B-cell receptor-driven lymphoma and in spontaneous B-cell lymphoma in companion canines. These studies will be reported in presentations at the 2009 AACR annual meeting in Denver, Colorado (see below). Unlike anti-CD20 protein therapies, treatment with PCI-32765 in animal models is not myeloablative, which could result in prolonged and dangerous immunosuppression for the patient.
"This is a very selective compound for B-cells, and it could represent an
important alternative to rituximab therapy for the treatment of B-cell NHL.
Other obvious applications include autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid
arthritis and lupus, and Pharmacyclics also has strong prec

bridal shower sweets
The last post about Marissa's bridal shower is "the dessert post" … you know – just saving the best for last!
Before I share the recipes that Raina used for her cookie trio, I want to tell you about the iced Vietnamese coffee that we served, along with iced chai tea, milk and chocolate milk, at the Milk & Cookies dessert station.
Vietnamese coffee is a blend of cold brew coffee and sweetened condensed milk. I used a 50/50 ratio of Press Coffee Roasters Cold Brew and sweetened condensed milk. I mixed them together the night before and served it over ice. So Good!
On the lunch buffet table, along with the salad, savory tart and bruschetta, we served my Lemon Glazed Blueberry Bread. It was an extra loaf I had baked for a cooking class the week before. Barb stored it in her freezer, defrosted it in the fridge and then glazed it just before serving.
Now for Raina's scrumptious cookies!

Kim's Bruschetta assortment
Kim made a delicious and beautiful assortment of four bruschetta for Marissa's bridal shower. All flavors in the variety are inspired by the bruschetta menu from ever popular (since its opening in 2001) Postino Wine Cafe. Kim didn't have recipes to give me, since she just throws these babies together organically and naturally. But don't worry, I've written up recipes for you. There are no specific quantities, make as many or as few as you need.
At Postino, French bread is used as the base and then the slices are cut in half after they are topped. For the shower, Kim used baguettes to make smaller, more individual-sized pieces.
- 1 baguette, cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
- Olive oil
- 3 peeled garlic cloves, flattened
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Drizzle bread slices with olive oil and bake at 350 just until warm and slightly crisp. Remove from oven and rub with garlic cloves let cool for a few minutes before topping.

bridal shower recipes
My dear friends, Barb and Kim, made the most delicious food for Marissa's bridal shower. Kim made four different bruschetta and Barb made a beautiful salad and savory tarts.
I didn't get any photos of the individual dishes, so I'll do the best I can cropping from the few buffet photos I do have, my apologies ahead of time because the photos won't do the recipes justice.

success and failure
What should I share first? The good or the bad? I think we'll start with the bad/ugly, that way we'll end on a good/pretty note.
Even the bad craft starts out pretty…
I spotted these adorable folded book art pieces in the San Francisco Nordstrom's Wedding Suite, while dress shopping with Marissa and Kaley, back in November.
I knew that I wanted to make one for Marissa, so when the theme was set for the shower, this was a no-brainer.
I went online to find out how but since I could not find any step-by-step instructions, so I just went for it.
I found a cool vintage hardback book and decided to go with the easiest design, a heart.
As I folded back the pages, it quickly became evident that this is harder than it looks. Plus, the book I chose was too vintage, the pages were delicate and would tear as I folded.
Stupidly, I kept at it too long. It was very clear that this was not working, long before I gave up.
I grabbed another, not so vintage thicker book, and started over.
Then, for obvious reasons, I gave up! My gut feeling is that there must be math involved in this project. No wonder it was too difficult for me … I do not "do" math!
I still wanted Marissa to have a book like this, even if not in time for the shower. So, I have purchased one from a professional folded-book artist from HERE. I am not going to share which book, since I haven't given it to her yet, but rest assured, it is pretty!
I had much better results with this next project:
My favorite craft/decor item for Marissa's bridal shower were these succulent book planters! Of course, I found the idea on Pinterest!

more book-page crafts and decor
Sloane and I got together on Sunday afternoons for several weeks before Marissa's bridal shower to make crafts. It was a fun reason to get together for sister-bonding time.
We wrapped wine bottles with pages from a large Currier and Ives picture book that I found at Sweet Salvage a couple of years ago. A heart punch was used on the book-pages that were used for the inside of small canning jars.
The same punches were used to make book-page heart confetti.
The bottles were topped off with large burlap bows.
While the jars were trimmed with twine. The wine bottles held miniature pink and white roses and the jars were lit up with battery-operated votives. They were then scattered around the buffet, lunch table, bar and dessert credenza.
We rolled and wrapped white cloth napkins with torn book-pages, tied with bakers-twine and embellished with tiny "congratulations" flags.
One of the few details that slipped through the cracks that busy morning was making sure that Marissa's place-setting received the napkin that said "A King and His Queen." It makes me wonder if the guest who had that napkin noticed and thought anything about it.
A few weeks after Valentine's Day, I was in Micheal's (I spend a lot of time at Micheal's and Hobby Lobby!) and found these simple berry baskets on clearance. I scooped them up without an idea in mind about what I would do with them. Once Sloane and I decided on the "Milk & Cookies" dessert idea … they found their purpose. We lined the inside with book-pages and decorated the outside with our heart confetti.
We used stencils, book-pages and a couple of burlap flag-banners from Hobby Lobby to make these.
It took some time to come up with just how to fit "The Future Mrs. Sandell" on a banner with only twelve flags!

invites and table runner
As I mentioned yesterday, I used the invites to set the theme for Marissa's Literary Bridal Shower.
I found them HERE on Etsy. The creator of the invites, Kendra, was an absolute joy to work with.
When I told Kendra that I wanted book-page lined envelopes, she said, 'No problem."
After she sent me the proof of the layout, I asked if she could you a date-stamp instead of the typewriter for the two dates on the invite. She did not hesitate.
Once they arrived and I began addressing and stuffing them, I discovered that she accidentally sent five less than I ordered. I let her know and she cranked them out and I had them in my hands a couple of days later.
Did I mention that each invite was handmade, one at a time, on a 1970's typewriter? So cool! I love Etsy!

Marissa's Bridal Shower
After a long hiatus, as promised, the next week will be filled with photos, crafts, recipes and details from my daughter's beautiful bridal shower. But before I begin, I want to let you know that I've missed creating and sharing recipes. I've really missed blogging. I've missed posting. I've missed you! It feels good to be back, even if only for a week.
Today will be mostly a pictorial, giving an overview of the party. Tomorrow, the details will begin.
As any good invitation should do, this one set the theme.
Marissa is a voracious reader. She loves books. Her degree is Journalism with a Creative Writing minor, so a literary theme fit her to a tee.
Immediately upon entering, guests were greeted by a table filled with library bookplates with their names on them. The bridal party's bookplates had a little bling tied to theirs.
A chalkboard sign instructed them what to do with their bookplate. Marissa's maid-of-honor, Kaley, used her perfect penmanship and artistic flare to create all the chalkboard signs for the shower. Thank you, Kaley!
When guests walked into Barbara Fenzl's beautiful backyard, this is the table where they had their choice of seats.

Easter buffet centerpiece
I know! It's only been 10 days since my self-induced "break" – but it's the day before Easter and I can't help myself!
Just in case you haven't already figured out your Easter meal decor, and since there is still time to get to Costco or the grocery store… I felt like I should at least share this cheap and easy floral display today.
I was at Costco yesterday to buy Easter supper stuff. I knew I wanted to get the carrot soup taken care of, well ahead of time, and I didn't have the patience or the time to go to the grocery store to buy the carrots. Instead, I bought a huge 10 pound bag of carrots at Costco!
Laziness wins out over practicability!
I knew that having an extra 6 pounds of carrots in my house wasn't a problem because if I peel, trim and cut them, Dave will have those polished off in a matter of days. He LOVES carrots!
I also picked up three bunches of tulips and one huge bundle of white stock. I knew what the plan for the tulips was but hadn't given much thought to the stock until this morning while I was peeling the 4 pounds of carrots for the soup…

my big YES
This is the blog post I've been putting off for weeks.
I've been struggling with how to begin.
I know it is what I want … and what I need to do, but…
OK, enough talking about it and procrastinating … I'm going to just rip off the band-aid and get it over with.

Google blocks anti-Islam film in Malaysia18 september 2012, 10:00
The low-budget movie, entitled "Innocence of Muslims", has angered followers of Islam for its mocking of the Prophet Mohammed, and for portraying Muslims as immoral and gratuitously violent.
A spokesman for video-sharing site YouTube, owned by internet giant Google, told AFP on Monday that it began restricting access to clips of the privately-produced film Sunday, in line with its community guidelines.
"When videos breach those rules, we remove them. Where we have launched YouTube locally and we are notified that a video is illegal in that country, we will restrict access to it after a thorough review," he said.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) was reported to have asked Google Saturday to remove clips of the controversial film, believed to have been produced by a small group of extremist Christians in the United States, from YouTube.
Some extracts of it were still available on the video-sharing website on Monday but several other clips had been blocked to users in the Muslim-majority country.
Google has also denied access to the videos in Indonesia, Libya, Egypt and India.
In cities across the Muslim world protesters have vented their fury at the amateur film by targeting symbols of US influence ranging from embassies and schools to fast food chains.
The US ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other US officials were killed last week in an attack by suspected Islamic militants on the US consulate in Benghazi in protest against the film. A total of 17 people have died in violence so far.
Muslims held demonstrations across Malaysia on Friday, calling for the United States to prevent distribution of the film they said was part of a plot by "Christian extremists".
Cabinet ministers have reportedly also demanded the film be taken offline and condemned YouTube for being "insensitive" and "oblivious to the tumult it has caused".

Ads In Schools: Creative Way To Get Cash Or Bad For Kids? Maybe BothSierra Black
School buses are an icon in our culture. The traditional bright yellow buses bring up childhood memories as swiftly and surely as the smell of cookies baking.
Everything changes, though, even traditions. The sides of many bright yellow school buses are sporting a new look this year: ads.
Showing off everything from sugary treats to doctors' offices, buses are becoming the new billboards in many towns. Hungry for cash, towns and cities are turning their school buses into valuable advertising real estate. Schools are also selling ads in lunchrooms, parking lots and on their school websites. A few are putting advertising inside the buses.
That seems like a creative solution to the all-too-real cash flow shortage many schools are facing. But is it good for kids?
NO. Selling ad space on school property, especially in the lunchroom where the kids are so clearly the target audience, is not good for kids. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's bad for them.
Young children in particular are exceptionally vulnerable to advertising. They can't easily differentiate between ads and entertainment or educational images. The advertising posters telling them to eat sugary cereal seem just as authoritative and honest as the PSAs encouraging them to eat a healthy, balanced meal.
It could be that selling ad space is the lesser evil. That's certainly what those doing it claim. The ad revenues are, as the New York Times describes it, "a drop in the bucket" of school budget needs, but it's a drop that makes it possible for some schools to buy new textbooks or hire a music teacher. That's a compelling argument. Maybe it's worth a little advertising exposure to get kids these benefits. After all, they see ads everywhere else.
The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood isn't buying it, according to the NYT:
Critics say exposing impressionable young children to ads that appear to be endorsed by their educators is problematic.
"Mandatory education laws are based on the idea that education is good for society, and is good for kids," said Josh Golin, associate director of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, a nonprofit organization. "That argument falls apart when you're talking about mandatory exposure to advertising."
Neither am I. Yes, advertising is ubiquitous. But that doesn't mean our kids should have it staring them in the face while they eat their lunch or ride the bus.
There does seem to be two classes of ads here: those that are aimed mainly at adults and those that are aimed mainly at children. A cereal ad in an elementary school lunchroom is taking advantage of the captive audience of little kids with few critical thinking skills. A bank ad on the side of a school bus is probably aimed more at parents and community members who will see it as the bus goes by.
It's the first set of ads I'm really upset by. In general, I think advertising and schools don't mix. We're sending our kids the wrong message when we appear to endorse advertising through their schools. Schools are places to learn, not to shop. I'd like to see neither form of ads being sold on school property. It's the ones aimed at kids that seem especially insidious, though. As adults, I believe we should be doing what we can to protect kids from media influence and advertising, not pushing more of it on them.
Does your school have advertising in its lunchrooms? On its buses? Do you love it or hate it? Are the ads just a necessary evil?
