I did not like the stuffing in the bottom. I uploaded a picture of the stuffing for those that want to see what is inside of it. The bed went flat as soon as my dog sat on it. Both dogs have hip problems so I cut sections of 3 inch memory foam to put in the bottom and moved some of the stuffing from the bottom into the bolster. The bolster is a little stiffer than the bottom.
I would purchase this bed again for my Golden. She is 65lbs. The bed has enough room for her to stretch out. It has nice material but the fabric will not hold up to a chewer or scratcher. It is too small for my 95lbs Shep X although you can't tell her that! I uploaded pictures of both dogs in the bed for comparision.
I originally gave this bed 4 stars because of the stuffing. I changed it to 5 stars because the TWO zippers make it simple to stuff it with whatever you like. I couldn't buy a cover with two zippers AND a bolster for the $38 price I paid for the entire bed. Great deal.
Eventually I just took the leap and purchased the item, when it arrived I opened it up and our little pup just jumped right in and it is officially her new favorite place, whenever she's not running around the apartment she's either using the bed as a little play pen (chewing her bones and squeak toys) or dozing off for a couple of hours. She's a dog that is used to sleeping in the bed at night and would whine and complain when we tried to leave her on the floor. Now by the time we go to bed she's already comfortably sleeping in her little KH couch and doesn't complain all night.
For potential buyers concerned about size or quality (zippers, stuffing etc) The size I got (small) is good for small to medium size dogs, if your dog is on the larger side of medium or is a large dog I recommend going for the larger option, our dog is about 16 pounds (boston terrier) and has room to stretch out, or curl up with room for toys.Read more ›
Ultimately it cost me about $45 bucks, which really isn't bad for the size of the bed (it easily fits both of my dogs, lab/shepherd mixes). Plus, now I have about half of the foam mattress cover left over for replacing the foam in this bed if need be, or for their other dog bed. Though it is not the fanciest looking bed I've ever seen, for the price it actually blends in fairly well with my decor (or at least it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb).
If you don't want to go through the extra effort of buying the foam pad (who really would?) then I suggest you buy something with better fill, especially if your dog is over 30 pounds.

Madeleine Roux's stunning characters and breathless action are unforgettable." ―Ilona Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Magic Bleeds
"Madeline Roux doesn't just offer an engaging and addictive adventure story, though she's certainly done that; she manages to answer the eternal question all of us must ask ourselves eventually: "When the zombie apocalypse comes (and it will come), how will I handle it?" For my part, I hope I manage it with as much humanity and determination as Allison. But I would like to make a request for bigger weapons." ―Christine Warren, New York Times bestselling author of The Others series
"I've never laughed so much while being so creeped out...Roux did the impossible: she made zombies funny." ―MaryJanice Davidson, New York Times bestselling author
"Roux achieved a perfect blend of humor, horror, and heartbreaking sadness." ―Reader to Reader Reviews
"...damn entertaining and fun book... The combination of humor and action really work here and it's a wonderful way to spend a few hours with a smile on your face, and all the lights on..." ―Crimespree Magazine

This story reminds me of the old John Christopher young adult novels I read as a kid. It goes fairly light on the graphic violence and focuses more on other elements of the story, such as the characters and relationships between them during the outbreak and aftermath.
I also thought the first-person blog-style was a nice device.
Bottom line: A nice, low-intensity Zombie tale. I'd recommend it for people who are interested in this type of fiction, but shy away from the grittier stories.
But though I found it entertaining enough overall, especially in the beginning, it took a turn for the boring and befuddled somewhere around the midpoint, and I found myself increasingly frustrated by the author's lack of thoughtful use of the story's primary gimmick: the book is a collection of blog posts, complete with comments from "readers," and I really feel like Roux wasted an opportunity to do something truly interesting with that set-up. More on that in a bit.
Here's how the story goes: Allison Hewitt is one of a group of bookstore employees recently trapped together by the zombie apocalypse. Luckily, she's trapped with a still-functional laptop and a working wi-fi network, and she immediately starts to blog her situation to anybody who might still be alive out there in the world.
As supplies begin to run low and morale collapses (no bathrooms and a steady diet of break-room beef jerky will do that for you), Allison manages to convince a couple of her colleagues to join her in a quest to get to the apartments above the store and see if any of them are habitable. She grabs a fire axe, the others grabbing baseball bats and fire extinguishers, and together, they burst out into the store, whacking zombie heads left and right, and scramble upstairs. (The zombie fight scenes are a little "been there, done that," I'll grant you, but still fun.)
After some exploration, they decide the group's gotta move in. They can't stay in the break-room -- the time for panic has passed, they're alive and likely to stay that way if they're careful, and it's time to move forward. The group takes over two apartments and tries settling down into a more manageable life. But when Allison discovers a broadcasting radio station, the gang decides the next step is to leave the building altogether and try to make it over to the university campus -- where the broadcast is coming from and where, the broadcaster reports, a large group of survivors have begin to collect.
Maybe Allison's mother is there, you see? Maybe Phil's family. They can't ignore the possibility, so they set out with what little supplies they have left in pursuit of a larger community.
Most of the group manages to make it to campus safely, but that's where the story starts to fall apart. There's a bizarre plot twist involving a group of fanatically religious women who kidnap and torture Allison and her friends; a boring, boring, borrrrrring love story between Allison and an astronomy professor; and a gang of militant survivors trying to force themselves into power, shooting anybody who dares challenge their authority.
Most of the second half of the book is an absolute mess, with a lot of inconsistencies in the story and subplots I feel like I've seen/read a million times already in both the zombie and post-apocalyptic genres. That might've been okay, though, were it not for my increasing frustration over the blog format.
The problem was that I felt Roux could've done more with that device, and I was annoyed that she wasn't bothering. Despite the fact it made little sense Allison was able to keep a laptop running AND access a still-operational wi-fi network (whatever -- I was willing to roll with it), when I first realized Roux was going to include comments from readers, I got a little bit excited. I was expecting a whole second storyline to develop in the comments section, as people chimed in from all over, swapping stories and advice, starting flame wars from all the stress and anxiety, forming relationships between themselves and with Allison, etc. All the stuff that typically DOES happen in a blog comment section (hi, guys!). At the very least, I was expecting more emotionally charged content and question-asking. What's going on? My god, I just had to kill my own mother. That sort of thing.
Instead, there are only a couple of comments per "post," and most of them are totally vacuous (Keep fighting, Allison! Hey, we're on a boat, tra la!). Disappointing. Occasionally, Roux tried to shove in an incongruously-timed comment from a reader suddenly logging on to despair, and once there was a father posting about his infected son, but none of these comments were particularly emotionally evocative, in part because the replies to them from Allison and other "readers" were usually bizarrely cavalier and quick. Instead of exploring what that father might be going through, for example, Allison just says something flip like, "He's not your son anymore -- kill him!"
Man, great opportunity wasted to explore some of the painful, personal side of the whole end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it thing, instead of just the gleeful zombie-killing adventure side (which is mostly what this novel deals with -- nobody seems to think twice about killing anybody in this book, even zombies they recognize, which I just found strange, though that's not uncommon in the genre, really).
One positive note: I did like the fact each blog post/chapter's name was a relevant book title (In Defense of Food, A Room with a View, Things Fall Apart, e.g.) -- clever, but not enough to save this novel from its thorough lack of originality. That was what the format needed, and failed, to do.
Overall, I'd say this one's definitely worth picking up if you're in the mood for something brainless (pun intended) and fun, but while I did find it entertaining (I read the whole thing, after all), after reading the excerpt from Roux's upcoming second novel (included at the end of this book), I don't think I'll be going on from here.
Okay, to the review of the book, to a new entry into Zombie genre this book will carry a lot of . . . novelty. . .to those of us who swim,without floaties, in the deep end of the Z-Day pool, it is a more than a touch derivative. The blog format saves the book from being simply another first person narrative of a post OUTBREAK world. I do compliment Ms. Roux on having a female first person narrative, most Z-Lit is written by the Y Chromosome for the Y Chromosome. And let me say, I don't see 3 out of 5 as a bad rating. I paid retail for my paperback edition and am NOT dissappointed, this will go onto the bookshelf in the Zombie genre without reservation.
Let me get back to the serial blog / pre publication format. Ms. Roux needlessly posted an entry on 1/7/10 caveating/apologizing that ([...]), essentially, she really is an aspiring young writer and this (the blog) wasn't some part of soul-less corporate marketing zombie plan. . . Yooo-hooo, Ms. Doux, NO ONE CARES, the blog format prior to publishing was BRILLIANT! An inspiration! Too often authors, aspiring or published, won't do something this fun or creative FOR the reader. You deserve applause for this, and for the book format.
With that I'm looking forward to "SADIE WALKER IS STRANDED" . . .
The book is written in a blog-style format with Allison recounting her adventures occurring between posts. Many of the entries are only a few days apart, but they're extremely detailed, lengthy, and it read more like a novel. You'd think that would be a good thing, but I just felt something was wrong.
For starters:
WTF? This chick is running from dead things that want to eat her flesh and she has time to write pages and pages (articulately) about her experiences? Really? I don't have the mental capacity to string together more than a few paragraphs after working all day (at a desk) and straining myself to reheat last night's leftovers.
The biggest problem for me, however, was the fact that, for what was supposed to be a personal blog, it lacked personality. Allison told us what happened, but I never felt like I was seeing things through her eyes or understanding her emotions. She remembered entire conversations she'd had with other characters (did she have a recorder?), yet they were so generic they could've been written from an outsider's perspective.
The replies from other survivors weren't profound. Basically, they confirmed what we already knew: there are zombies. Got it.
If I take off my blogger glasses and judge this book as a novel, my opinion becomes a little brighter. I mean, not like sun bright, but maybe like medium-grade flashlight bright.
Some positives:
There were enough suspenseful moments where I was anxious to see what would happen next.
Allison - from what I could tell - wasn't totally unlikable. Maybe that's because she had a soft spot for Scooter, the German Shepard she rescued.
You didn't always see the antagonists coming. Zombies weren't the only bad guys Allison had to watch out for. I know, it's near cliché for the whole "people-go-batshit-crazy-during-the-zombie-apocalypse" plot. But, whatever. It fits.
I think part of the issue I had with this book was the fact that I just finished Mira Grant's Newsflesh Trilogy. Grant's series is also written in the blog-slash-novel style, but has more depth and crazy mind-screwing conspiracies. It went beyond the "just another zombie novel" category and left some pretty big footsteps to fill.
Overall, Allison Hewitt wasn't particularly bad, but it wasn't great either. It's enjoyable enough if you're a fan of zombie novels and looking for a casual read, but it's not something you're going to remember a few days down the road. I especially didn't feel it was worth the $9.99 price tag for the Kindle edition when bargain-bin paperback versions are available for a few dollars.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida Gov. Charlie Crist says the state has its first two confirmed cases of swine flu.
Crist says the cases are in Lee and Broward counties, involving an 11-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl.
Federal officials say 19 states have at least one confirmed case of swine flu, with New York and Texas having the most. One person in the United States has died.
Florida officials earlier referred eight suspected cases of swine flu to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta for more testing from Alachua, Orange, Lee, Broward, Palm Beach and Pinellas counties.

We wanted to visit the Isle of Man and was looking for somewhere to stay. We needed 3 rooms, 2 interconnecting for us and the young boys (8 and 4) and a separate room for Grandad (74). The Palace seemed the best option. The rooms overlooking the sea have a great view. While it is 4 stars it isn't exactly your Hilton, Marriott, Holiday Inn, but that wouldn't work here. It has its quirks, it has the old folks coach trips here, but that is the Isle of Man. It's not polished, it's not grand, it's probably 1990s standard and you'd expect Rick Astley or Bananarama to come and perform on stage to the old folks who are really enjoying themselves in the bar tonight. But that is what makes this hotel great, it so fits in with the location. less

A large, centrally located hotel on the sea-front with a horse tram and bus stop outside, the carpets looked a little weather-beaten. The food was excellent, although the carvery style menu meant I had to collect my main meal and desert myself which felt like I was back at school, for the price of the stay I was hoping to be served my food not get it myself! the many staff were very friendly and helpful and the views from the restaurant were stunning. The sea-front balcony room was clean, bright and airy although I was hugely disappointed that the windows were filthy and encrusted with salt-spray from the beach. On the days that I stayed there was no wind or bad weather and I thought that it must have occurred overnight before I arrived, however, the three days I stayed the windows were untouched and I was very disappointed about this which is why I have, reluctantly, only given 3 stars for my review, I did raise an eye-brow at this because the restaurant windows were spotless! The only other issue I had was the late night noise from the bar on the floor below - granted, it was only on the Saturday night but it was quite intrusive until very late. Other than these small "niggles" I enjoyed my stay - Thank-you. less

on Saturday a wedding reception went on till 4am in the car park and reception area our room was right above !!! we and other guests complained but nothing happened, we complained next day as our room was also over the extracter fans for the kitchen we only got moved when i threaten to cancel my weeks stay, the whole exterior is dirty you have to walk through smokers to get to reception. the spa has flaking paint on the ceiling in the pool plus ceiling tiles missing in the pool, the lovely view from the pool is spoilt by misted up d/glazing, the breakfast staff don't even make eye contact or make conversation except Veronica who was very nice, breakfast was ok sent food back twice because it was cold, evening meal is mainly carvery !! the only saving grace was a complementry dinner for our troubles would not give free room upgrade. so in a nutshell the hotel is dated looks like a european tube station would not go back . stayed at the Feathers Hotel in Liverpool on the way home and that is a 4 STAR hotel is was brilliant less

The hotel is comfortable and the staff helpful. It's looking better than when I last stayed before it was owned by Best Western but still in need of face-lifting. No air conditioning still though, even in the bar/restaurant so it was unpleasantly warm eating and drinking there and I had to leave the balcony door open all night to get any sleep at all due to the heat. Great views from the sea facing room and the bed was comfortable with a good breakfast served. less

Most of Greenland is covered with an ice sheet that reaches two miles thick. If the entire ice sheet melted, it would raise the global ocean's sea level by 23 feet. That scenario is unlikely, but accelerated flows of ice to the ocean that raise sea levels far less would still cause problems.
Every summer, lakes of meltwater form on the ice surface. When the weight of the water becomes too great, the ice splits open to form channels that can drain the lakes in a matter of hours. These supraglacial lake drainage events transport heat to the base of the ice sheet and lubricate the bedrock. It is hypothesized that this causes the ice sheet to accelerate its march to the ocean.
Linhoff measures several isotopes in glacial meltwater. Radon and radium come from bedrock at the base of the glacier and reveal the pathways glacial meltwater takes. Beryllium is formed by cosmogenic rays from the sun and helps track the component of meltwater derived from melting snow on top of the ice sheet. Isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen are used to quantify the component of the meltwater derived from melted ice.
Among the hardships of life in the camp are mosquitoes. Even with protective clothing, scientists were plagued by swarms that mass as the weather warms in summer.

The drama in financial markets nearly stopped the debate completely, and overshadowed a few hours of reflection we might have allowed ourselves on race. But Scott Simon did a lovely piece on Saturday morning, and Slate produced this: "Negro to Address Ole Miss Class" (The headline you won't be reading about tonight's presidential debate.) A white presidential candidate in civil debate against a black presidential candidate is a monumental, quiet victory of a milestone worth pondering, and celebrating, in a world in which bad news gets all the attention.
Our managing producer takes a sharp look at our journalistic profession's cultural appropriation of stereotypes in the political season.

Skip to comments.Help in identification of uniform requested
Posted on 10/18/2012 1:08:28 PM PDT by My hearts in London - Everett
Are there any FReepers who could help in the identification of this uniform that my grandmother is wearing? She was born in 1905 in Maine and I'm told she's 14 in this picture.
Navel looking clothing was the style.
The arm patch is the style of a Navy Chief's chevron. Single star would be a Senior Chief.
Was there something like the "sea scouts" during World War I? She was a little young to be a chief petty officer in the Navy. BTW, the quality of the old black and white portraits are great.
Might not be her uniform (especially if she's 14 and given the insignia), she might have had somebody special in the Navy (this was during World War I given the dates you posted) and took a picture wearing his shirt for him.
Compare w WWI Navy Nurse uniform.
I would agree. Naval style tops and skirts was a girl's style in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Must have been a belly button down.
My mother said she did sewing in the WPA, but I can't find any pics anywhere that show that WPA workers had 'uniforms'. If the style was popular back then, I suppose it could be a hand-me-down or charity because I believe they were very poor.
Check this link out.
Time traveller?
I agree. She's too young to be a CPO. According to the OP, this was 1918-1920, so its probably just a fashion that looks like a military uniform. She wouldn't have been a Sea Scout, if they even existed then.
Google for images of "WWI Navy Nurse uniform".
I searched around, and found that insignia with "Sea Cadet Chief Petty Officer".
I researched to see if it might be an early Girl Scout uniform, but I don't think so. As you can see the collar is rounded as it goes over the shoulder unlike the Girl Scout uniform or a Sailor's uniform. It's hard to tell from the picture what color the cloth is. I don't see any buttons down the front and the seam/trim across the front is different.
Maybe so, But I sure don't see her navel.
(And I've done my share of navel gazing)...
This would have been at least 10 years before the WPA.
Anoreth the time traveler?
Yes, I know, but I can't tell my mother anything. I need proof. lol
Two things regarding that interpretation:
1. The stars on senior and master chiefs' insignias are located above the crow. (The area between the rocker and top chevron is used for the rating designator.)
2. The senior and master chief ranks didn't come into existence until 1958.
Search this web site for the insignia she has on her sleeve:
She would have needed to have served a minimum of 2 years 9 months to earn that rank, according to Born to Conserve's link. That's a bit much for a 14 year old.
OTOH, I can easily see her having the portrait taken to honor some young swain by proudly wearing his uniform for the sitting.
Young girls being what they are, and young sailors being what they are.
Especially during war time...
The insignias do seem to match up.
The style of blouse freepers say was popular in the early part of the 20th century was the "middie" blouse (maybe from midshipman?) It was white with a blue or black tie. They are actually still in style.
Thanks. I'm no expert, I just spent some time in Uncle Sam's canoe club.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Contact the WWI Museum in Kansas City. It's not a military uniform but it could be an auxiliary of some sort or a girls group to support the war effort. They have rearchers and volunteers who are experts and great archives. It's the only museum dedicated to WWI in the country. They just did a major overhaul and expansion. If you're in the area its really worth visiting. But you could probably email the picture and question. Go to their website.
"My mother said she did sewing in the WPA, but I cant find any pics anywhere that show that WPA workers had uniforms. If the style was popular back then, I suppose it could be a hand-me-down or charity because I believe they were very poor."
I did extensive genealogy and history research awhile back. I was surprised and disappointed how much my Mom got wrong, or knew nothing about.
BTW is her surname "Mathes," in Maine?
Have u tried making your inquiry on ancestry.com?
If your timeline is accurate and she was 14 in that photo then that would put it at around 1919 right in the middle of the Spanish Flu Pandemic. There was a critical shortage of nurses and volunteers to give aid to the sick and she may have been involved somehow. I couldn't find any uniform photo's
That's what another poster mentioned, but as far as I know, Navy uniforms even back then did not have a rounded placket.
No particular expertise claimed on my part, I was fairly certain that CPO was the highest enlisted rank until well after WWII. (I'm a former member of the canoe club myself, 1966-1975.)
I just posted this picture to my tree and asked if anyone could identify what she is wearing.
good Luck!
One more suggestion you can go to the Smithsonian On-line and ask a librarian. There is a link for that.
Thank you for your idea. :~)
The Senior and Master Chief rates were added much later than that date, just a few years before I enlisted (1961). And the star(s) go above the eagle. The star in this case is in the place where the rating badge would be (crossed anchors = boatswain's mate, gear = engineman, crossed cannons - gunner's mate, etc.). It may be decoration.
It's a middy blouse, very popular in the late 19th century up until the 1920s.
Going back through some old family photos I found one of my mother around the same age and same time wearing a similar "uniform", including the rank insignia. I know she was never in the military or scouts or any other such organization.
I think it was just a fashion back then, nothing more.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi felt bunting Jacoby Ellsbury in extras was the right move because he had speed at third and just needed a sac fly. Of course that didn't happen.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi felt bunting Jacoby Ellsbury in extras was the right move because he had speed at third and just needed a sac fly. Of course that didn't happen.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi on this loss: "This one stings."
My first thought of the White Sox clubhouse scene m.youtube.com/watch?v=JXceET… twitter.com/StokkeTommy/st…
Giants 2, Yankees 1 (12). San Francisco has snapped its six-game losing streak in 4 hours, 25 minutes.
According to multiple reports, White Sox ace Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's start after expressing displeasure over having to wear throwback uniforms.
if bryce harper cut up the jerseys the internet would have exploded by now
Let's play arbitrary end-points: Since Ben Zobrist's average reached its apex on May 28 (.354), he's now hitting .175 in 160 ABs since.
The Giants take a 2-1 lead in the 12th on Mac Williamson's single up the middle off Anthony Swarzak which scored Trevor Brown.
Chris Sale scratched and sent home due to a "non-physical" clubhouse incident before tonight's game. es.pn/29SBRcG

How will the Braves fare against the Rockies? 53eig.ht/1TvYa2z
Kris Bryant's two-out error has created a precarious spot for John Lackey. Two on for Jonathan Lucroy, who he has struggled against.
Dellin Betances just airmailed an intentional walk pitch over Brian McCann's head, but Angel Pagan couldn't score from third. Then the Yankees changed course and had Betances pitch to Brandon Crawford, and Betances got him to ground to second to end the 12th. Oh my. Gotta love baseball.
The Yankees just left the bases loaded. Manager Joe Girardi's decision to bunt Jacoby Ellsbury, taking the bat out of hot hitter Carlos Beltran's hands could prove costly. On to the 11th ...
Jerry Crasnick said the scratch stemmed from "some sort of confrontation" with the front office or staff, and not with a teammate.
In his last eight plate appearances against Lackey, Lucroy now has two doubles, a single, a walk and that home run.
Man, Jonathan Lucroy homers on 12th pitch of at-bat against John Lackey. Fouled off five full-count pitches. #Cubs
With a second-inning single, the Dodgers' Howie Kendrick extended his hit streak to 15 games.
After surrendering a leadoff double, Aroldis Chapman completes his second scoreless inning with a pair of 103 mph strikeouts and a fly out. Yankees coming to bat in the 10th.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo's first-inning double moved him into the NL lead for extra-base hits (52), passing Washington's Daniel Murphy.
Headed to extra innings here in the Bronx. Still Yankees 1, Giants 1.
One caveat to consider on Tigers' trade deadline stance: the team also indicated they would not make any big splashes following the Winter Meetings. Then they went out and signed Justin Upton. Owner Mike Ilitch is always a phone call away. Conversely, if team goes off the rails in the next week or if rehab of Zimmermann/Norris takes an unexpected turn, unloading a piece may sound more enticing. Avila did leave the door open. He said standing pat was the team's most realistic option "sitting here right now."
Gee, and the #WhiteSox clubhouse seemed so quiet last night.

Ah, you figured out how to use those yellow polka dots. I am still working on these 2 blocks.
I'm with you on this one and I haven't even got beyond cutting out the first set of hexagons.
Love this idea.

I only found about WvG a couple months ago* and I have to say that I've been very pleased with all my purchases from Mauro. The knits were incredibly soft, chinos construction felt top notch, and the mocha trousers give me all the swag I can handle. Now I need to nab myself some shirts next week.
Good stuff Maruo! Keep it up! Can't wait to see what's coming next. (namely the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I'm pretty sure the chinos are still available. I think Mauro took them down a couple weeks ago and will put them back up during the upcoming sale. He had mentioned that a lot of items from previous seasons would be available at steep discounts. Not 100% sure, but close enough to claim that you should still be able to get the chinos (assuming your size is still available).post #8205 of 1675911/18/12 at 6:10am
Certain items like the chinos won't be on sale. I have something special in mind for those in December.

All the tees, Henleys, and thermals will be on sale for tote holders for sure. We are trying to get them online asap.
They might be on sale only for tote holders and I will have someone like RKD model the clothes in a newsletter shoot.

Though these commentaries were written years ago, his comments are timeless. He does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and comparing them to people in our culture today. He has plenty of insights, i.e., I was excited about reading the names of the people who were building the wall and the function of each gate in the Book of Nehemiah. He is so descriptive, he takes the reader into the events of that day.
When I read my first Vernon McGee commentary, I was laughing so hard because he has such a wonderful sense of humor.
I have many of his commentaries and highly recommend them for use in small group studies.

The strawberries are growing, the ice cream is in the freezer, and our volunteers are gearing up for 10 days of excitement at this year's Royal Queensland Show! Every year The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation sells the EKKA Strawberry Sundaes, and we're now less than a month out from the event.
While it's easy to get distracted by the food and amusements, it's really about one thing for us: supporting our researchers and raising crucial funds to help them carry out their life-saving work. We have an incredible team of both young and experienced clinicians, doctors and engineers at the hospital that dedicate their entire careers to improving treatments for patients, and look into some of the biggest medical mysteries we're faced with every day.
Whether it's looking into better ways to transplant lungs, discovering new heart disease treatments or pioneering a world-first brain scan for early detection of dementia, every ice cream you buy this year is going to a good cause. We hope to sell enough Strawberry Sundaes in 2016 to power over 4,000 hours of medical research.
We still need plenty of volunteers to help with the event (particularly the night shifts), so if you can spare a few hours between August 5th and 14th we would love to have you on board! Head to our website to register!
This Saturday join us for a friendly game of soccer, with the Transplant Australia Football Club versing staff and researchers from The Prince Charles and Princess Alexandra Hospitals. For just a small donation, you can come along and support both sides of the game; those celebrating their second chance at life, and those working hard saving lives.
Organ donation still remains a major priority in Australia, with up to 1,500 people on the transplant waiting list at any one time. The only way we can battle these statistics is by increasing awareness and focussing our efforts on researching new organ transplant technologies.
The Transplant Australia Football team match commences at 5pm and will be the curtain raiser for the Brisbane City and Western Pride Australian Premier League match, at Spencer Park Newmarket. A portion of the proceeds from the match will be going to crucial organ transplant research at The Prince Charles Hospital.
We hope to see you there!
There are few people who can claim they've had as an exciting career as Kerry O'Brien. The renowned journalist of fifty years has been around the world for his work, interviewing the likes of Nelson Mandela, Bette Midler and Robin Williams for his roles on The 7:30 Report and Four Corners.
The Foundation was fortunate enough to have Mr O'Brien join us as keynote speaker for our Life & Times Function last week. Hosted by board chair Bernard Curran, it included corporate partners, friends and supporters of The Common Good, all coming together to hear about the incredible leadership and inspiring journey of Kerry O'Brien. Mr O'Brien was also announced as a new ambassador for our initiative, The Common Good.
Guests were also able to hear about some of the breakthrough, life-changing research being carried out by Dr Eamonn Eeles. Collaborating with CSIRO and other major stakeholders, Dr Eeles is part of a major dementia research project, looking at new ways to scan for early onset of the horrible disease.
A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the planning and running of the event, and a special thanks to BDO, Hentley Farm and Dello Mano, for providing the venue, refreshments and small gifts for all of our guests.
You can read more about Dr Eeles' dementia research and support the project here.


text: Gérard Depardieu is now a citizen of Russia? The actor who starred in Green Card, a not-entirely-terrible comedy about emigrating to the U.S.? Funny old world, innit? Comrade Depardieu is taking heat for starring in an ad for a Swiss-made Oligarch-friendly Cvestos watch. GQ dissed its "nauseous wordplay and pathetic production quality." Le Figaro trumpeted "Gérard Depardieu 'smokes deers' in an absurd advert." I reckon it's a suitable hammy addition to the Depardieu canon. So to speak.

Checklist: Should You Consider Therapy?
Symptom Checklist If you have frequent and/or ongoing instances of the following symptoms, you might consider getting an evaluation from a skilled psychotherapist.
The Real Reason People Begin To Use Drugs, Drink (And What You Can Do About It)
It's all about feelings. When a person struggles with a sense of self and they aren't sure who they are, they aren't sure how to experience, live with, or manage their thoughts and feeling. Feelings especially can become baffling, annoying or painful. In many years working in both mental health and addiction, I've found that in general, people try drugs or alcohol, and end up abusing them, because they want to change, forget or control a feeling or feelings. Changing a feeling can be as simple as
10 Best Holistic Mental Health Posts
Holistic health and medicine is a diverse field of alternative medicine in which the "whole person" is focused on, not just the malady itself. Often called mind-body medicine, holistic medicine takes into account the spirit or soul, as well. According to the individual viewpoint of the patient or the practitioner, the definition of "spiritual" as well as the relationship between the body, mind, and spirit or soul can be strikingly different. An important factor in mental health treatment is the awareness, by practitioner and client, of the fact that both physical health and spiritual health correlate to mental health, sometimes in a web of causality that can seem at first like an overwhelming puzzle. For those seeking meaning and reasons behind mental and emotional struggles, healing the body and soul go hand in hand with healing the mind.
When A Patient Becomes Aggressive & Passive-Agressive Vs. Assertive
A therapist I supervise came to me with a case: F. struggles with relationships and socializing. The sensory processing and cognitive issues she's struggled with since childhood cause her to misunderstand or miss social cues. Therefore, her responses to people's words, gestures, or tone of voice often were often wildly inappropriate and misfire. One of the biggest issues for her used to be her inability to read when someone was belittling or bullying her. Her social awkwardness made her an easy target. With the guidance of her counselor as well as support in developing a healthy response to bullying, she began to be able to assert herself and even stand up for herself, too. She learned about healthy boundaries and in cases where she used to get overly involved in other people's lives, especially people who were using and/or abusing her, she began to be able to recognize
8 Steps To Healthy Thoughts & Feelings
Your thoughts and feelings are not, as some suggest, your interface with reality. They are your reality. That's why understanding that you can change your thoughts and feelings is so important, because once you believe you can change them, you give yourself the freedom to do so. Gaining mastery over your thoughts and feelings changes your life. Of course, this is easier said than done.
What Goes On Inside You During Therapy?
The Inner Session What is going on with a patient internally (the feelings and thoughts going on inside) right before, during, and after a therapy session?
How To Tell If You Are Making Progress In Therapy
It's safe to say one of the main goals of therapy is to teach you how to help yourself so you don't actually have to be in therapy, at least not for a moment longer than necessary. If you don't have a diagnosis which requires ongoing therapy, then ask yourself:
Can Kefir, An Ancient Sour Drink, Improve Your Mood?
We've blogged about the brain-gut, the microbiome, and the importance of healthy diet to brain health, which includes mental health for a while. And the effects of gut-bacteria when it comes to anxiety and autism are by now, not surprising. In the past several months, we've begun to brew kefir, something C.R. did a long time ago back in her yogurt and sourdough days. We're already pretty committed to including traditional-fermented veggies like saurkraut, kimchi, and other pickles in our diet; soaking and sprouting grains; and making sourdough breads. But kefir is in a league all by itself. Kefir is a fermented drink like beer, wine, and kombucha, but I admit,
Suicide Cluster In Palo Alto: Why?
C.R. writes: The Washington Post reports that "Over the course of nine months in 2009 and 2010, six Palo Alto teenagers committed suicide. Between 2010 and 2014, an average of 20 children and young adults killed themselves annually in Santa Clara County, where Palo Alto is located." To put these grim statistics in context, "The deaths in the city constitute two recent "suicide clusters" (multiple suicides within a short time frame); there are an average of five in the entire country each year. Having two in the same city in less than a decade is extremely rare." (Washington Post) Several teenagers have committed suicide by stepping in front of trains, jumping off roofs or overpasses, or by hanging themselves.
Drugs Or Jewish Mystic Wisdom To Treat Fear & Anxiety?
(A God in Therapy post) This New York Times' article went viral yesterday: A Drug to Cure Fear. But are yet more psychiatric drugs really the answer? A 19th century Jewish mystic, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, said "no."

Is this possible to show photos instead of gravatars here?
I expected 'Override Avatar with User Photo' will do exactly that.

I expected 'Override Avatar with User Photo' will do exactly that.
The plugin is disabled for the admin panel and will only function for the front end. If you feel like manually editing the plugin open up user-photo.php and find the following function.
function userphoto__init(){
if(get_option('userphoto_override_avatar') && !is_admin())
add_filter('get_avatar', 'userphoto_filter_get_avatar', 10, 4);
Simply just remove the
&& !is_admin() from this function and the 'Override Avatar with User Photo' will work within the admin & front-end.
Just in case you're feeling lazy:
function userphoto__init(){
add_filter('get_avatar', 'userphoto_filter_get_avatar', 10, 4);
Be warned when editing plugins as an update could revert your changes, the author should really make this another option in the admin panel!
That fixed the problem. I am wondering why that is not default, but the fix is quick enough. Thanks!
I'm not sure either, wouldn't take long to add into an option in the settings.
There maybe some reason that the original author did it, but I can't see any issues so far.

Put adults in charge of WVU sports
Let me first say I am not a football fan of any school, but I am a fan of basketball. After all the hoopla about the WVU Football change via Mr. Luck (who I agree with the person who wrote "WVU Needs To Learn Winning Isn't Everything") has no track record, replacing Mr. Stewart with a fellow who has never coached a college football team. We now have two people with no track record.
How are we going to have a winning team with two inexperienced people? Well, only time will tell. Miracles happen everyday.
I cannot believe that the university did not have an adult present who felt that the announcement to replace Mr. Stewart should be made after the bowl game.
I feel so sorry for the players who were freshmen during the coach Rodriguez switch, who have experienced not one but two bowl games in a state of flux. Could this have affected their overall careers in football? Did it affect how they played in the bowl games? Who knows, but the university obviously didn't care.
This does not even take into account the players who signed on prior to coach Rodriguez leaving and coach Stewart being named. They could have been affected by at least one bowl game with these changes. Not to mention the fact that they felt they were signing on to be coached by Rodriguez not Stewart (maybe this would have affected their choice in schools).
University, perhaps in the future you can act in a more moral, ethical, caring way and time your announcements and changes in an adult manner.
Perhaps, instead of your own egos and agendas, you could put the players first and not yourselves! Every action in life affects others, perhaps for a lifetime.
