Crap video gets over a million views. Profound, beautiful video? Only 100K?
I have recently been introduced to the video below titled Alice Herz-Sommer. It is one of the most profound and beautiful videos I have seen in awhile. I'm sure it will be one that stays with me my whole life. Unfortunately it only has 124,000 hits right now and it was posted at the beginning of this year.
Conversely, if you look at other videos online like the other one posted below titled iCARLY SPOOF!!, it has over one million views and was posted two days ago. This is the crap that our children are viewing nowadays. It saddens me because we have the choice to educate them and inspire them to see videos such as the Alice Herz-Sommer's story. Otherwise, our children are learning to talk and communicate in the way that the iCARLY video is expressing. Trust me, you will be annoyed in less than one minute of watching it. (Please try to not click on the iCARLY SPOOF!! video. I know it's hard because we are all indulgent on seeing a train wreck.)
So, let's make a pact together and share the Alice Herz-Sommer story to as many of our friends and family as possible.
Let's get her video up to one million views together and inspire others to live a life with love and happiness without hate as she has lived for over 108 years—even during and after the holocaust.
Alice Herz-Sommer, you are my hero!
Amazing story, incredible lady:

Mental Health: Get Healthier, Give Thanks (cont.)
Grateful people -- those who perceive gratitude as a permanent trait rather than a temporary state of mind -- have an edge on the not-so-grateful when it comes to health, according to Emmons' research on gratitude. "Grateful people take better care of themselves and engage in more protective health behaviors like regular exercise, a healthy diet, regular physical examinations," Emmons tells WebMD.
Stress Buster
It's no secret that stress can make us sick, particularly when we can't cope with it. It's linked to several leading causes of death, including heart disease and cancer, and claims responsibility for up to 90% of all doctor visits. Gratitude, it turns out, can help us better manage stress. "Gratitude research is beginning to suggest that feelings of thankfulness have tremendous positive value in helping people cope with daily problems, especially stress," Emmons says.
Immune Booster
Grateful people tend to be more optimistic, a characteristic that researchers say boosts the immune system. "There are some very interesting studies linking optimism to better immune function," says Lisa Aspinwall, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Utah. In one, researchers comparing the immune systems of healthy, first-year law students under stress found that, by midterm, students characterized as optimistic (based on survey responses) maintained higher numbers of blood cells that protect the immune system, compared with their more pessimistic classmates.
Optimism also has a positive health impact on people with compromised health. In separate studies, patients confronting AIDS, as well as those preparing to undergo surgery, had better health outcomes when they maintained attitudes of optimism.
Gratitude in the Face of Loss
Even in the face of tremendous loss or tragedy, it's possible to feel gratitude. In fact, adversity can boost gratitude, recent findings show. In a web-based survey tracking the personal strengths of more than 3,000 American respondents, researchers noted an immediate surge in feelings of gratitude after Sept. 11, 2001.
Why would such a tragic event provoke gratitude, and what is its impact? Christopher Peterson, PhD, the University of Michigan psychologist who posted the survey, attributes this surge in gratitude among Americans post 9/11 to a sense of increased belonging. These feelings offered more than community building. Gratitude in the aftermath of 9/11 helped buffer people against the negative effects of stress, making them less likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, explains Emmons.
Who Feels Gratitude?
How is it that some people manage to feel grateful in the face of challenging life circumstances, while others sink into despair? "So much of gratitude is about one's perspective and framework for looking at the world and at self. People who tend to be more mindful of the benefits they've received tend to focus their attention outward," Emmons explains.

Gun crisis on display in Philadelphia
Member submission
May 3, 2006 - Fifteen-hundred guns put on display in the formal reception room at Philadelphia City Hall. If you guessed that these guns were used in crimes, you'd be right. Lawmen want to add one more gun to the collection.
The instruments of destruction that have been stealing the soul of this city were brought to the very heart of City Hall for all to see. And what a sobering sight it was. Hoping to trigger an intense political argument for tougher gun laws in unison with other cities, the city put on a dramatic display of what this is all about.
If you thought they had a weapons problem in Iraq, the city wants you to look at what's going on in Philadelphia. There are 1500 weapons that were confiscated by Philadelphia police since January. And we're not even half way through the year yet...

Here we test for intraspecific differences in niche use in a keystone species, the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus). To test whether feedbacks between predator foraging traits and prey communities have led to differences in niche use, we compare the diet composition and trophic position of anadromous and landlocked alewife populations. These populations differ in phenotypic traits related to foraging (gill raker spacing, gape width, and prey selectivity). Trait differences appear to have resulted from eco-evolutionary feedbacks between alewives and their zooplankton prey, and suggest that these two life history forms are exploiting different niches. Direct diets show that anadromous alewives consume a greater biomass of predatory copepods than do landlocked alewives. Anadromous alewives also consume more ostracods—a littoral prey item—as the growing season progresses. These diet differences do not translate into a significant difference in trophic position, as estimated from stable isotopes. However, stable-isotope estimates of diet source show that during early fall, anadromous alewives obtain significantly more of their dietary carbon from the littoral food web. This increased reliance on littoral prey is likely a result of a diet switch that occurs in response to the alewife-driven exhaustion of large-bodied prey items available in the pelagic zone, i.e., alewife niche construction. These findings show the existence of important intraspecific niche differences in the alewife and support the role of eco-evolutionary feedbacks in shaping these niche differences. The initiation of alewife divergence is the result of dam building by humans. Therefore, alewife niche differentiation can be considered to be an eco-evolutionary byproduct of human cultural niche construction.

How was your Halloween? Mine was great, thank you! I have returned home after spending 8 days in Mason, Ohio. I stayed at my mom and dad's home to visit with them and my daughter Avalon. The decision of when to go rested on my being able to host a Halloween party with my daughter for her friends. The idea of planning and executing a themed party for a bunch of 13-year-old 8th graders was fun and a little daunting.
First things first, I had to create the invitations to the party. Last year I drew a Halloween themed zentangle art for cards I mailed to friends and family. The use of the same artwork for the front of the invitations was the easy part. From there I had to work with proportions and add some more themed art with rubber stamps and created the invitations with their matching envelopes.
But with the help of my Halloween board on Pinterest and all the other wonderful bloggers out there, I was able to find inspiration for decorations as well as some fun games that kept them laughing after their trick-or-treating was complete. This Haunted House decoration was created using a template I found on Pinterest that took me to the blog, Creating Keepsakes. Here is a pic of my version, using the papers, stamps, and embellishments in my stash.
We played two fun games, Witches Scattergories found on www.lets-get-together.com and Roll a Pumpkin found on www.happyhomefairy.com. They were so good at Scattergories that none of them duplicated an answer on any of the ten questions!! The Roll a Pumpkin game had them laughing at the creating of Jack-O-Lanterns like a bunch of little kids!! Other things I found on Pinterest from other bloggers helped me to create fun and age appropriate goody bags to give to the girls for coming to the party.
My sweet girl, Avalon, picked out a great costume…a Pink Lady, from the movie "Grease". Didn't it turn out great, with a personalized pink satin jacket!
Avalon's wonderful friends arrived costumed as a police officer, Wonder Woman, Minnie Mouse and Harley Quinn. With chips, pizza, soda, and cupcakes it made for a fun time for the girls as well as myself.
How was your Halloween?
Update: As my mom reminded me, I posted on FB the night of the party:
The difference between a kids Halloween party and an adults Halloween party is everyone is gone, clean up is done and it's only 9:45 pm!! Now that's my kind of party!!
Many thanks to my mom and dad for all the running around buying decorations, cupcakes and pizza!!

About meLet's see… I'm a voracious reader and am terribly addicted to used book sales. I am usually reading and/or listening to at least two books at a time, although it's frequently more. I rarely go anywhere without a novel tucked into my jacket pocket or backpack, plus two or three audiobooks on my phone - and my e-reader as well, for emergencies! I'm a biologist, although only a small percentage of the books I read are science books. I read mainly fiction, typically a mix of fantasy, historical fiction, young adult novels, and literary fiction. I'm not particularly well-read in the classics (my high school English classes tended towards more eclectic book selections), although I try to pick off at least one or two a year.
About my libraryMy physical library is messy, with sideways and double-stacked books everywhere, although I can usually still lay hold of any book you want in under thirty seconds (unless it's one that's in storage at my parents' house, in which case you have to factor in travel time.) Since I moved it got an extra case to spread into, although there still (always!) seems not to be enough room for all of my books.

Maybe I had unrealistic expectations. I wanted clean floors, without streaks, that felt and smelt clean. While I know they are clean and they feel clean. The smell is a bit off putting, and well the streaks...I guess I will learn to live with them. Once I got the hang of using it, I am really coming to like it. I feel confident that my infant child can crawl on the floors without the need for chemicals to clean the floors. When our young puppy doesn't quite make it outside every time, that can be a huge relief as a mom to know the floors are super clean for the kiddos. If you want something simple to use that even a 5 year old can use (yes my 5 year helps clean the house) then you will love this.
We bought this after trying a friend's newer model. The newer model is $55 more expensive and has three settings, which this one does not. Hwoever, this one does come with multiple attachments and does an equally good job. It does require a little bit more effort than the newer model, but you are mopping the floor, it should take a little bit of effort. We are happy with the product/purchase.

used it once so far did a good job..
Unfortunately, someone cracked the handle off my old shark steamer and I couldn't do without another. It takes care of dust and smudges on my hardwood floors, gets into all the nooks and crannies on the tile in the bathroom. It handles laminate very well.
I returned this product a week after I received it. This product did not work at all. I honestly don't think they even tested this mop before it was sent to me. I know itwas refurbished but usually it should still work. I even bought the 2 year replacement warrenty but didn't even receive the info of it. Teaches me to never buy something refurbished. You can get this same product brand new for not to much more money. Do not get this refurbished. Also it took 2 weeks to even get to. Very slow shipping. Never even got a proper iinstruction manuel. Not happy. Hopefully I get a full refund not only for the mop but also for the warrenty.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. poor quality

These are good! I used the dough for Laudee's Wowlers! (Runzas), and divided the dough into 12 portions. I was afraid I couldn't get the pockets closed well enough. A little of the filling did leak, but not so much. I sauted 2 small red bell peppers with the garlic, instead of using jarred pimiento. Didn't change anything else. I'm looking forward to freezing some and having them for future lunches. I used 2 cups of cooked fresh broccoli, which I cooked first. I will want to make sure to salt to taste next time. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
barb i always am looking at your recipes as i have similiar tastes only wish my cookbook could be seen but I dont have premier membership anymore. i love so much of you recipes and reviews. this is great!
I have been making this recipe for the last year. I found it in a free recipe card that I got in the mail. It is excellent. We make it at least once a month. My two young children love it and does my husband. Its a great, yummy way to get your kids to eat broccoli! Love it, Love it, Love it!
These were great! I substituted dried sweet cranberries for the roasted red peppers, and added a little gorgonzola cheese, but your recipe is a winner!
Barb, I made these tonight, and WOW are they ever delicious!...wonderful tasty cheesy filling, and I just loved the taste of the red peppers. I used a bit more garlic than stated, and used a couple jars of store-bought roasted red peppers... used my own frozen bread dough that I keep in the freezer...broccoli is one of my favorites, so when I noticed this recipe, I knew that I just had to try it... this definately is a real winner, highly recommended, and easy to prepare with the frozen dough...something similar to a calzone, but with a super-yummy broccoli/cheese filling, so good, we enjoyed these so much...thanks Barb for posting, I can't wait to make these again.... KC :-)

50+: Live Better, Longer
Nutrition Challenges When You're Older or Sick
Like many things in life as we get older, eating can be a challenge.
The sense of taste, like the other senses, diminishes as we age. Appetite and taste can also be affected by medications. In addition, dental problems can make it difficult or painful to chew food.
Recommended Related to Healthy Seniors
You can do yoga at any age -- really! It's just a matter of picking what type of yoga you do and working within your abilities. It might even help you age better, keeping you flexible and building strength through low-impact moves. "We lose about a half-pound of muscle per year for each year we're not regularly engaged in resistance training," says Jessica Matthews, assistant professor of exercise science at Miramar College in San Diego. Strength training also helps keep your bones strong. Yoga...

Loss of appetite can make it difficult to get adequate nutrition, especially when you're sick or not feeling well. What can you do to be sure you're getting the nutrients you need?
"No single strategy works for everyone," says Kathleen Niedert, RD, director of clinical nutrition and dining services for Western Home Communities in Cedar Falls, Iowa, who counsels many seniors on how to deal with loss of appetite. But for almost everyone, there are ways to eat an adequate diet even when you're ailing and don't feel like eating. Here are 10 strategies that experts recommend.
1. Give Yourself Permission to Indulge in Favorite Foods
If you're having trouble eating enough to get the calories you need each day, don't worry about the fine points of nutrition advice. Eat anything and everything that appeals to you. Love chocolate milk? Help yourself. Ice cream? Serve up a bowl.
"If you're experiencing a loss of appetite, the most important thing is to eat foods that supply basic energy to the body," says Niedert. "Most dietitians now say people in institutions like nursing homes should be encouraged to eat whatever they like, since many have a problem with appetite."
2. Enjoy Meals With Friends
"If you're well enough to prepare meals but have trouble getting motivated, find neighbors or friends in a similar situation and invite them over," says Nancy Wellman, RD, past president of the American Dietetic Association. "Meals aren't just an occasion for eating. They're also a key part of how we stay connected with friends and family."
Studies confirm that people who live with someone else or who eat meals in community settings tend to eat a healthier diet.
