Time to prove you have what it takes to whip Staten Island's annual survival-of-the-fittest blowout, High Rock Challenge. Race Day is April 25.
Have you registered yet for the contest? Space is running out.
Four competitors of varying physical prowess joined me in keeping training diaries, detailing our workout hopes, embarrassing setbacks and triumphant progress. Here is my latest entry:
APRIL 14 -- HRC smack talk is boiling again back at Staten Island Advance headquarters. One reporter has even dubbed himself a "phoenix" because he is rising above his injury.
"River Phoenix?" asked Advance photo editor Steve Zaffarano.
"Nah, Joaquin. He's gonna grow a beard, go on Letterman and act all insane," quipped AWE assistant editor James Yates, who is trying to fob off a bag of Hershey's Kisses on his unwitting HRC competition at the office.
And me? I've scooped up my share of chocolate kisses in the last few days, but I've also stepped up my training. Yesterday, I hit the gym for a burst of cardio before an hour-long weight-lifting class. But I really pushed myself Sunday, when I ran High Rock Park with my HRC partner, Diane and two more challengers from work, plus race director Matt LeBow, and his 12-year-old son.
The pack of us logged about four miles in about an hour and 15 minutes, which I consider not bad considering we jumped logs, scaled hills and our feet went clump in the puddles. It had poured the day before. Matt didn't exactly show us any HRC trade secrets, but we were definitely on paths that will feel familiar come race day.
Matt advised me to lean forward as I run uphill and showed us a shoelace trick that prevents the lace from loosening: Thread the laces twice before you tie the bow.
For the record: HRC is put together by the Greenbelt Conservancy and New York Adventure Racing Association. The trails are maintained by the NYC Parks Department and the Greenbelt Conservancy, which are always looking for people interested in volunteering to help maintain trails.
Access the wooded hills at the Greenbelt Nature Center at the intersection of Brielle and Rockland avenues or at High Rock Park at Nevada Avenue off Rockland Avenue. Both are in Egbertville. The trails are open from dawn until dusk. Parking lots close at 5 p.m.
Training for HRC '09? Share your insights, or just brag about how you're going to shame us. Go on, we can take it.

The Arkansas Foodbank has been working since 1984 to eliminate hunger in Arkansas by providing nutritious food to those in need.

That is about 55,000 pounds of food per day! Our network of member agencies includes food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior centers, and after-school programs. Ninety-five percent of everything the Arkansas Foodbank receives is allocated to programs, enabling our agencies to serve about 23,000 hungry Arkansans in any given week.

Reviews for Arkansas Foodbank

The attorneys and staff of Mitchell, Williams, Selig, Gates & Woodyard, P.L.L.C. believe it is our essential responsibility to play active, positive roles in the communities in which we work and live, and because of this, are dedicated to strengthening organizations that play a vital part in supporting our neighbors. In our 55th anniversary year, we selected the Arkansas Foodbank Network as our primary Take Time to Give program charity for 2009. The organization received a significant financial contribution in addition to pro bono legal services and volunteer participation from the firm throughout the year, which included the annual National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive, Today's THV Summer Cereal Drive: Business Edition, its Golf For Food tournament, and established Mitchell Williams Friends & Family Volunteer Days. The organization was also featured in several of our marketing and client communications throughout the year. Helping our neighbors in need who are struggling made the Arkansas Foodbank Network the obvious choice for our efforts. The staff was extremely easy to work with and provided volunteer opportunities whenever we requested. We were proud to stand alongside them and their hunger relief initiatives as a community partner.

They looked at company databases and their job-posting histories to come up with the ranking.

Xerox Corp. (Nasdaq: XRX), was followed by UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH), Dell Inc., Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET), and American Express (NYSE: AXP) as top companies across the United States that offer work-from-home opportunities.

- Directed by Mike Nichols
===Story=== Based on the harrowing account of whistle blower Karen Silkwood, this 1983 film directed by Mike Nichols (''The Graduate'', ''Postcards from the Edge'') is as much a character study of a woman galvanized by injustice as a story of the dangers of nuclear power and the extremes of corporate greed. When Karen discovers unsafe conditions and reckless protocol at the plant where she works, her actions in uncovering the dangers that lie at the plant not only cause a rift between her and her lover (Kurt Russell) and her best friend (Cher), but they threaten her very life. Streep gives yet another bravura performance as a wild child in Oklahoma forced to confront the harsh realities of her life, and the supporting cast, from Cher to Russell to Diana Scarwid is first rate. This true story of the woman who disappeared under mysterious circumstances while trying to find the truth is a well-told, challenging, and emotionally complex tale.

Finding a good pairing is as much a process of trial and error as it is knowing the flavor profile of the beer and the food. Take into consideration how the food is being prepared—grilled, steamed, or fried; with acidic tomato-based sauce or cream sauce; with strong or subtle herbs/spices—which changes the flavor profile of the dish.
From the beer-lovers website BeerAdvocate and food-lovers website Epicurious, here are some simplified, general tips. Let the flavors of your meal shine through the beer. Traditionally, match tart with tart and sweet with sweet for complementary flavor profiles or go for contrasting, such as sweet and salty or dry and bitter with light and sweet.
The Brewers Association's informational website, CraftBeer.com, provides some suggestions for balancing flavors based on how beer and food interact on your palate. Hop bitterness, roasted malt, carbonation, and higher alcohol content in beer balance sweetness and richness in food. Sweetness and maltiness in beer balances spiciness and acidity in food. In other words, here is it again moving from food to beer. Salty, sweet, and acidic foods balance well with acidic beer. Sweet desserts are balanced by sweet beer. Rich, dense, fatty foods may be tastier with acidic beer while spicy food is intensified by higher alcohol content. Match seasonal beers with seasonal food for an option that's always in good taste.
If you're overwhelmed by flavor profiles and tasting notes, the best advice may be to drink what you like regardless of what you're eating, but don't be afraid to experiment.
Since my formal introduction last year to craft beer at the local brewery in my East Hills neighborhood, I've had the opportunity to try a sampling of local and national beers. I admit to being partial to wheat beers, brown ales, porters, and stouts while avoiding IPAs (India Pale Ales), but I may change my palate if I were to try an IPA with the right dish, say, at a beer dinner.
Check out some of the local brewpubs and restaurants to find out when and where a beer dinner is being hosted. These prix fixe five- or six-course meals offer a great opportunity to sample creative combinations of food with beer. In the meantime, during your next visit to a restaurant with a beer list that's as long as (or longer than) the wine list, don't be afraid to try something different. If you're indecisive like me or just don't want to commit to a full pint, you could always try a sampler or flight of beer. Remember to drink responsibly as you search for the perfect pairing.
For a unique beer pairing opportunity, the The Grand Rapids Public Museum, 272 Pearl St. SW, is hosting a Gourmet Pairing Dinner, November 17, using the winners of the Brewers' Challenge—to go along with the "Thank You, BEER!" exhibit. Cost is $45 per person. You must be 21 or older to attend. For more information, visit www.grmuseum.org or call 456-3977.
Beer Pairing Tips
Here are some general food and beer pairings from Epicurious as a starting point. There is some overlap on which beers pair well with which foods, so that's where the subjective taste factors into your decision. For a more detailed list, check out the pairing chart on CraftBeer.com
Ale—Pair with burgers, Asian, Mexican, spicy, nutty, or fried foods, pizza, steak, and cheddar, Parmesan, or Romano cheeses.
Fruit beer/Lambic—Pair with white meat, dishes with herb- and spice-forward flavors, duck and pork dishes with sweet accompaniments, pickled dishes, salads with fruity dressing, fruity desserts, and Mascarpone cheese.
Lager—Pair with shellfish and other light seafood, sushi, grilled pork or chicken, light pastas, Southeast Asian, Latin, Mexican, and spicy foods.
Pilsner—Pair with salads, light seafood, salmon, tuna, trout, asparagus, Asian, Mexican, and spicy dishes, and American, Muenster, Havarti, or Monterey Jack cheeses.
Porter—Pair with smoky food, barbecue, sausage, rich stews, meat in general, bacon, chili, and braised dishes.
Stout—Pair with roasted, smoked, or grilled foods, salty foods, oysters, rich stews, braised dishes, and desserts, especially chocolate.
Wheat beer/Hefeweizen—Pair with light soups and salads, vegetarian dishes, sushi, sweet and fruity Asian food, citrusy food, and feta, goat, or Gruyère cheeses.

WALTHAM – On the eve of NBA free agency, Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge called shooting guard Avery Bradley "a big part of our future."
The Celtics officially extended Bradley a qualifying offer Monday to make him a restricted free agent. The team will have an opportunity to match any offer he receives from another organization.
"It would mean a lot (to keep Bradley)," Ainge said Monday after a press conference to introduce draft picks Marcus Smart and James Young. "I think Avery can be a very key player in us winning the championship. He does things that other players can't do and his shooting continues to improve. We've all seen in the past his terrific defensive abilities. I think Avery's a big part of this."
Ainge again stated that he expects Bradley, Smart and Rajon Rondo to coexist in the same backcourt.
"I see those guys being able to play very well together and complement each other," Ainge said, adding Phil Pressey into the discussion.
Ainge's stated interest in keeping Bradley is mutual. Earlier in the day, the shooting guard addressed the free agency process at his camp.
"We really haven't (spoken about) any numbers or anything," he told reporters, as featured on ESPN Boston. "Obviously, I want to be here. And I let those guy know that. When the time comes, we'll just see what happens, and see if we come to an agreement."

first i want to say im not on a 100% primal diet, i just try to incorporate a lot of it into my diet when i can (i travel a ton and just cannot eat 100% primal when im traveling, tried it and it hurt the performance of my job, i was just taking too much time and concentrating too much on sticking to it instead of what i should be concentrating on)
but i did make it about a month over the winter when i had a little break.
anyway's.. I just wanted to see what you think about my experience with some different diets ive tried.
awhile ago i tried a fruit and nut diet, where id eat only fruits and nuts from when i woke up till dinner, then for dinner id eat whatever i wanted, sometimes pretty healthy, sometimes pretty unhealthy. what i noticed on this diet was that i felt very energetic, i did it for maybe 8 days, and after day 3 or so i was waking up in the morning with lots of energy and had no energy fluctuations during the day. even when i ate crap for dinner id wake up with tons of energy, and managed to loose a little weight over those 8 days. i also found this diet pretty easy to do, i love fruit and nuts, and it always helped to know that i could eat whatever i wanted at dinner.
now when i went 100% primal for about a month, i lost more weight, (though i was on this diet a bit longer) but i also was eating a bit less in actual calories. i felt pretty good, but didnt have as much energy, sometimes felt like i needed a mid day nap, even when i wasnt low on overal calories.
so has anyone experienced a similar result? i feel like i personally feel and perform better on mostly fruit, and some nuts/veggies, limited meat and protein. rather than my primal diet, which was mostly eggs, and all sorts of meat, more veggies than fruit.

You really thought Patriots coach Bill Belichick was going to have his "Oprah" moment this morning and publicly confess to his sins? No way.
This is what we got:"It's over and we're moving on."
And: "I tried to act in a timely way and we're moving on to San Diego."
And :"We'll change our procedure."
And: "It already happened. We're just thinking about the Chargers."
You just want to give the Hoodie a hug, don't you? "Everything's in the past. Nothing you can do about the past.... I've said what Ihad to say about it."
To use Belichick's words, it is what it is. It's up to us to decide what it is. We all know what it is, don't we?
DOLPHINS: It's the duel between both the Chargers' coordinators last season: Cowboys coach Wade Phillips brings his defensive schemes to Miami to go against Dolphins coach Cam Cameron and the offensive system that earned him his new gig. Too bad Phillips couldn't take Shawne Merriman with him and Cameron had to leave L.T. behind.
BILLS: Buffalo is going to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers on Sunday. QB Ben Roethlisberger is waiting for them. He's also offering his prayers for injured TE Kevin Everett. Last year, a frightening motorcyle accident could have ended Big Ben's career, so he knows from hospitals and scares. "Just take nothing for granted and hope for the best," he told Buffalo reporters on a conference call.

Cindy Thomashow, MST., MEd
Department of Environmental Studies
In this thesis I set out to explore the issues, values and concerns feminists bring to the practice of environmental education. The intent of the inquiry was to research how feminism influences the way environmental educators address the socio-ecological crisis. The intersection of feminism and environmental education is rarely articulated in the literature of either movements. Therefore, my research sought out the loved experiences of environmental educators who believe that feminism affects the content, method and application of their teaching. Through in-depth interviews, I asked twelve environmental educators to explain the impact of feminism in their philosophy of education, pedagogy and application of education to society. In my research and literature review I interpreted several commonalities between principles in ecofeminist theory, feminist pedagogy and the environmental education movement. These movements are concerned with understanding social and ecological systems, an interdisciplinary approach to education, problem-solving, ethics and values, and praxis. My research revealed a distinct tone and purpose when these environmental educational attributes are practiced with a feminist orientation. Feminist theory helps students understand social and ecological systems by challenging dominant assumptions about human relationships to nature, especially as they relate to gender and value dualisms. Feminist environmental educators promote an interdisciplinary approach to eduation that is fundamentally based on establishing connections to between diverse perspectives. These educators also incorporate bodies of knowledge that are often suppressed by partriarchal education, including self-knowledge, multi-cultural knowledge, and women's knowledge. In problem solving feminism highlights the need for critical investigation of issues, dealing with power relations and encouraging respectful communication about controversial issues. Feminist environmental educators infuse learning with ethics and values that are rooted in mutual and caring relationships to the Earth community. And, finally these educators are concerned with balancing reflection with action in a holistic vision of a sustainability and community. Above all, I found that feminism is significant in envrionmental education because it informs a radical challenge to dominant ways of relating to the Earth and its people, that is through domination, oppression and exploitation. In its place feminist environmental educators offer a hopeful but rigorous path of finding more life-affirming ways of living on Earth and with each other.

Manchester United did what they had to do by beating Sunderland 1-0 to achieve their 13th away win of the season, but events at Eastlands ultimately ensured this was a miserable occasion for manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Briefly, though, their fans could dream. That was the period when Wayne Rooney's goal moved them above Manchester City to top spot in the Premier League.

Man City fans celebrate EPL title
Manchester City celebrates its first English Premier League title for 44 years after a last-gasp win against Queens Park Rangers.
They were to stay there for much of the second-half as Queens Park Rangers threatened to beat Manchester City until the late, late drama at Eastlands.
For 20 seconds after the final whistle, United believed they had won the title for the 20th time, until they heard about Sergio Aguero's winner for their local rivals.
What would have been a celebration in front of their fans became an abrupt about-turn as the stunned players headed back to their dressing room as joy turned to despair.
Until then, it seemed that Rooney's goal would be the crucial moment of the game, sparking them into life because, until he struck in the 20th minute, they had been unconvincing and surprisingly unadventurous.
They started with only Rooney forward, although Ryan Giggs was given a supporting role in front of the back four.
But, within ten minutes, Rooney started to drop deeper in search of the ball, as he so often does when United are failing to click.
Sunderland were equally unambitious, using Stephane Sessegnon as their lone forward as manager Martin O'Neill opted to stifle Ferguson's team with a five-man midfield.
They cancelled each other out for nearly a quarter of the game, creating just two early chances as passes went astray in blustery conditions.
David Vaughan, the Sunderland midfielder, was responsible for the first when his 30-yard shot was saved by David De Gea.
United's Phil Jones headed just over the bar after 18 minutes, but there was nothing to suggest a goal was on its way. Rooney had other ideas.
The England international timed his run to perfection to meet Jones's cross at the far post and head past Simon Mignolet from inside the six-yard box.

Sun. 4:06pm: State aid for septic repairs winding down
LISBON – A successful program at the Columbiana County Health Department, which has helped low-income home owners bring their septic issues into compliance, may soon be a thing of the past.
The board last week voted to apply for $56,000 in septic repair funding for next year. However, Health Commissioner Wesley Vins said he has been informed by the state that this round of funding is the last planned.
For four years, the health board has been using money through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's Water Pollution Control Loan Fund. Vins pointed out the Community Action Agency helps pre-qualify the property owners free of charge, and the county health department's environmental division runs the program, which includes putting the projects out to bid with local contractors.
Neighbors dealing with a nearby failing septic tank benefit by having a health issue cleaned up.
Vins said he has been told the state EPA believes the money can better be spent repairing sewage systems in high-population, low-income areas instead of on individual septic systems.

On the first night of MTA fare and toll hike hearings held last night in Manhattan, outraged New Yorkers expressed their anger, frustration, and disbelief over a proposed package of cost increases and service cuts for a full seven and a half hours.
The doomsday scenario, which includes both the hikes and threats of eliminating some subway lines and trimming service on bus routes, is the result of the MTA's reluctant passage of a balanced budget last month as required by law. The authority is facing a $1.2 billion budget deficit.
"People were angry, but we were angry," said Staten Island's representative to the board, Livingston attorney Allen Cappelli, who shared the dais with fellow board members during the hearing. "It shows how painful this is pretty much across the board," he said "The board's not happy about this. No one's happy about this."
The MTA board spent Tuesday in Albany lobbying state lawmakers who they hope will intervene to approve recommendations proposed by a panel charged with finding new revenue sources for the MTA, including tolling Harlem and East River bridges, and implementing a payroll tax.
Based on the conversations in Albany, Cappelli said he is hopeful a solution can be found to lessen the impact on straphangers and drivers. "An early resolution is very possible," he said.
In the meantime, Staten Islanders will get their say at the borough's public fare and toll hike hearing, Monday Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. in the College of Staten Island's Center for the Arts in Willowbrook.
Among the service cuts Staten Islanders could feel locally: weekday service could end earlier on the S54 and S60 bus routes, and weekend service could be eliminated on the S42, S54, S57, S60 and S76 routes.
A single ride MetroCard could cost as much as $3, and a single express bus ride could cost as much as $6.25 if the proposal is approved.

Even though college football is kicking off this weekend, it's never too early to look forward to college basketball, and the Maryland Terrapins season in particular.
About two weeks ago the Terps schedule came out, and while the team is rebuilding, with a new coach and the loss of a few top players, there are still a few things to take away from the Terps schedule.
The following slides contain five things to take away from Maryland's schedule. As always, feel free to comment below with what games you are most looking forward to, which games scare you the most and which games are going to be a snoozefest.

By Frank Fromherz
Notions of "the sacred" affect public life. The challenge of divergent views will only grow in our own region as the Pacific Northwest religious landscape continues to change.
What have been your own personal encounters with conceptions of the sacred different from what you grew up with? I have been asking myself this question.
A couple of weeks ago on a trip to the Oregon coast, as my wife and I drove down Highway 101 into Yachats we noticed a man, contemplative in appearance and dressed in burgundy robes, walking alongside the road. Several Tibetan monks, who due to severe repression of religious freedom in China have lived for decades exiled in India, had come for a short stay in this small coastal community. Buddhist monks would be leading a ritual at the Commons that evening, we soon learned, so we joined a large "congregation" of Yachats residents for what turned out to be an empowering meditation.
Camped overnight at lush and verdant Cape Perpetua and sitting quietly by the fire, I thought about how so much has changed since the mid-1950s when I was a toddler here in western Oregon. Religions (and to be sure, worldviews skeptical of organized religion) from all over the world have become vibrant presences not only in our large cities but even in our small towns. Diverse "paths to the sacred" are like the flora and fauna of a coastal rainforest, fascinating to behold even though we may be ignorant of so much going on in the sylvan setting--in the ancient, modern and "post-modern" forest of spiritualities, and especially in this age of the rapid religious globalization of social life.
Thoughts about religion, in Yachats, take me back in time even as they confront me with a new world. My maternal grandparents had retired there and in those years they loved to host their grandkids. Each night "Gramps" made his way through 15 decades of a Catholic rosary. He prayed devoutly, standing, arms outstretched as if on a cross, moving through rosary beads and through a story -- a passion narrative he knew as the "joyful, sorrowful, and glorious mysteries" of his faith.
In that same era the sociologist Will Herberg's famous book on American religion, "Protestant -- Catholic -- Jew," was published. Though a serious study it was not a full picture of the nation's religious character even then, and today with the markedly increased religious diversification of our society the book hardly represents the rainbow of doctrines and rituals. We are surely becoming a global village now, and the question is, how do we feel about this?
Helping us through our most precious life moments of bereavement and celebration, and pointing toward what we believe to be transcendent and supernatural (or, in alternate outlooks, immanent, natural, and sacred), religions can inspire social solidarity and promote social change. But, in distorted manifestations, they can become cauldrons of enmity and violence -- and they can be manipulated for unjust political ends.
Creeds, when linked to morality and social policy in our own society, too often appear to enshrine fault lines -- for instance, death with dignity vs. immoral suicide, faith healing vs. responsible parenting, reproductive rights vs. pro-life "operation rescues," the defense of traditional marriage vs. the basic rights to marriage of committed partners, to name just some of the polarizing issues influenced by religious passions.
Can we temper intense convictions with recognition of our common humanity and can we seek common ground? In Yachats we watched Buddhist monks patiently creating an elaborate, brilliantly colored sand mandala. A few days later, down by the Pacific they dissolved it. The sand and their own creative work of art were given back to nature. An appreciation for the ultimate impermanence of human creations -- including our sometimes defensive or fanatical systems of belief -- is what remained. Yet even this perspective on ephemerality is brought forth into our own time by an historic tradition of reverence for the sacred. So there is distinctive wisdom to be honored in the whole range of religious diversity. This too remains.

Toles, better known to family and friends as "Bud," was one of two sailors killed in Afghanistan last week. He died from wounds suffered in a rocket attack on the northern Paktika province. Toles grew up in Davison but was currently living in North Branch.
The funeral service is 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Lapeer. Visitation is from 2 to 9 p.m. Wednesday.
"Bud will be missed dearly by all but his memory and courage will touch our lives forever," said a statement issued by his family this weekend.
Toles joined the Navy in 1989, including eight years active duty and 10 years in the reserves. He was called to active duty in Afghanistan in December.
"He lost his life fighting for what he believed in," the family statement said.
In the statement, the family asked for privacy and thanked everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
Toles is survived by his wife, April; three sons, Shawn, 14, Jake, 10, and Ryan, 5; parents Ross II and Gwendolyn Toles; brother, Jeremy Toles; sister, Stephanie (Adam) Tennant; and grandmother, Louise Marks.
Toles is preceded in death by grandparents, Ross and Evelyn Toles and Fred Forth.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the children's college education fund.

Love it. Awesome. Can I copy and paste and put it on my blog? Great post.
Sure, V. Copy and paste away.
I love you and your amazing family. And your amazing faith. Ken is a lucky ass man! I would take the path you rose above…oh wait, I did! LOL! Miss you all with all my heart!
Cari, everything I want to say about this post requires that we do it over coffee, and that can't happen! So I'll say this: Children are a blessing, and blessings are sometimes long awaited – like Issac. Maybe you are in a Sarah phase of your life? I can empathize.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! Omg this post speaks into my life like you don't know.
I shared the same sentiment with Mike, he replied in kind with Ken. Two nights ago!
But you know what? We're not not trying, and this post bf weaning body is so goofy right now… So who knows…
But the other aspects of life, like a teen daughter that wants to spend her last high school years not here & when she's on town wants to date… Me. Not Mom's Top Pick, well. That's just not something I've ever considered in this life.
Thank you for this post, & I'm about to share it, too…
Love the journey, love you!
Feels so familiar…
Love love love this!
And I think you could easily persuade that hubby of yours with your hotness 😉 That's how my mom said she got 6 kids – heehee!
Oh, I am SO happy I found your blog. Or you found me. Or something. My fellow convert and Michigander (at heart). I could ALMOST write this post except replace "hubby isn't ready" with "business is so bad that we feel like it would be irresponsible to have another baby right now." Either way, when it is taken out of my hands….when I feel like it's not even an option, I feel that same deep in the bones ache.
Love ya girl!
I love this.
Can you repost it on the Exchange?! I love that you talked about Ken saying 'no for now' to kids — people rarely talk about that aspect of NFP — that its accepting that even though you might want more right now — its not the right time for one or the other spouse or something. And this has taken me approx 10 hours to comment and it makes no sense.
but I want to steal your list and put it in my purse for the dreaded question, "are you done?!"
oh wow, this is amazing.
Hello my loved ones fellow member! I must claim that this informative article rocks !, fantastic prepared are available having about just about all significant infos. I wish to find more posts this way .
This is beautiful, Cari, and definitely encouraging. I'm so glad you linked it up, because I missed it when you first posted! You're making me think about what it means to be open to life- more than just open to new life (which is counter-cultural enough to be quite difficult anyway), but to ALL life- to every life that we encounter.
I'm bookmarking. Thanks.
(p.s. totally unrelated– do you know what font your blog posts are in? I love.)

Like the Star Spangled Banner, only without the national fervor, "Smoke on the Water" gets folks up on their feet and roaring the chorus.
It's more of a feeling than a song.
On Thursday night, fans of classic rock 'n' roll braved threatening storm clouds over Musikfest's RiverPlace to hear Deep Purple belt out its signature tune and let their ears bleed.
But first, they listened patiently -- even exuberantly -- to that '60s rock icon band Steppenwolf.
Except that, like the asterisk that might find its way into the baseball records book next to Barry Bonds' home run accomplishment, this Steppenwolf is preceded by "John Kay and ..."
It's Steppenwolf, just not the same.
Or is it?
They played through their catalog of songs that had Cathy Jo Martin saying, "They sound the same as they always did -- just like the record, maybe," as she whipped her long ponytail in a dancing frenzy, beating nearby audience members with it.
But Martin, like so many others, was waiting to hear Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water."
Considered pioneers of hard rock in the '60s and '70s, the British rock band Deep Purple is going strong once again.
Thursday's lineup included Ian Gillan on lead vocals, Steve Morse on guitar, Don Airey on keyboards, Roger Glover on bass and Ian Paice on drums.
Airey replaced Jon Lord on keyboard in 2002. "We've got three of the originals," he said in an earlier interview, referring to Gillan, Glover and Paice.
When they came on stage, they didn't disappoint. Whether or not you can appreciate either Steppenwolf or Deep Purple, their music's not over the hill yet and they put on one helluva a show.
Deep Purple adds Musikfest to just one of the many stops on its tour to promote its newest album, "Rapture of the Deep," which came out in October 2005.
Click here to hear 1,721 guitarists break the Guinness World Record of most guitars playing a song. The song, of course, is "Smoke on the Water."

Trans woman 'portrayed as a drag queen' by magazine
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
The magazine say they published the story in "good faith", but it sounds like an abuse of the person's faith in the magazine having one ounce of integrity.
Pathetic. How stupid was this woman?
Why would she expect a sympathetic article from a gossip rag which is only interested in salacious stories and gossip.
She has been 'destroyed' by the 'lies' being told about her.
Obviously not 'destroyed' enough to run to another media outlet to complain about her treatment at the hands of another media outlet.
I made an arrangement with a weekly women's glossy to tell my story. They offered complete editorial control, I had to agree to every word.
While I wasn't thrilled by some of the phraseology, and altered it a little, overall it wasn't inaccurate.
I used the money to journey overseas to help a friend through her surgery, and get her back home afterwards.
That magazine has an exclusive – so I'm protected now. Other, less reputable ones know that my story is stale, yesterday's news, and if they do try something, I'll just give even more to their competitors, freezing them out.
I don't recommend giving your story away, unless it's to de-mystify and educate. And only do so under those conditions. Research what they've done in the past, make sure they're reputable, and insist that you OK every word or the story gets pulled.
Ethical journalists will readily agree to this. So if they voice any objections, make sure they know that their competitors will get an exclusive if they try anything on.
heat magazine should be ashamed of themselves for how they treated this woman. Its disgusting people can be treated in this way
What a horrible publication. This sort of treatment is completely unacceptable and utterly abhorrent. I think I'm going to be making my voice heard on this subject. I'll fish out their contact details later. Anyone care to join me?
Nice to see you're being your usual font of positivity, Simon. Rags like this do both "heart-warmers" as well as "point-and-laughs". I think it says a lot about this woman that she was optimistic to entrust her story to these assholes thinking that she'd be one of the "heart-warmers", despite being part of just about the most picked on and least understood minority in the country. That, to me, shows someone who's held her head up high and been proud of who she is. So what if she was naive or careless? Does that give her any less right to complain about what happened to her? Does that make it any less horrible? I think she's already learnt her terrible "lesson" – that people are out to get you and being nice won't keep you safe. And what a horrible, yet unfortunately necessary, thing for anyone to have to learn. She doesn't need chastisement from us on top of that. Why not be supportive of her?
I'd likely never fall for such a thing. Does that make me any better of a person? A suspicious, over-analysing, distrusting smarty-pants? ****, no. I strive every day to be more like this woman. To be positive and trusting, even if it ends up costing me.
PS: Simon, I finally responded to your last comment in the story on Lady Gaga being bisexual (page 3 last time I looked). I know it's kind of a minor story, but it touches on subjects that really interest me, so I thought I'd just give you the heads-up in case you wanted to read what I had to say or respond.
I do feel sympathy for how she was portrayed in the magazine but she must accept responsibility for her own decision to sell her story for cash to a media outlet which publishes sensationalistic stories every single week.
She had the choice not to sell her story. And why on earth would she sell her story? For fame? For media exposure? For cash?
Was this woman REALLY so naive to think that a rag like Closer or Heat would tell an honest story over a sensationalistic story? The British public is media savvy enough to know how gossip magazines work so I believe this woman did also.
I'm curious whether Pinknews contacted her about this story or whether she contacted Pinknews to express her 'outrage' at her portrayal. If it's the latter scenario then she's just another publicity seeker similar to the likes of Jordan et al. (Jordan regularly expresses her 'outrage' at how she is portrayed in the media also – she does so by contacti g other media outlets to tell them)
As far as I'm aware, Miss Edkins contacted various trans support organizations who then contacted Pink News on her behalf.
That still doesn't answer the question why she thinks that a magazine (which in the picture accompanying this story features on the cover the 'heartwarming' tale of "World's Biggest Boobs – my natural 98ZZZ breasts weigh 8 stone") is a good place to tell the tale of her struggle for acceptance.
She needs to take responsibility for her own actions. No-one forced her to sell her story to Closer ('Insecure Posh: I hate my nose and my head looks too big now'; 'Size Zero Jordan: Extreme Diet Ages her 8 years'). Did she not think to have a read of the magazine before selling her story?
And she is STILL commenting to the media – in her interview with Pink News.
Yes the Closer article is nasty but Ms Edkins is just as culpable as they are. She is either woefully naive (which I personally don't believe – even my elderly mother knows the ways gossip magazines work) or seeking publicity for herself.
As she said, 90% was totally fabricated by Closer. I was one of the people that complained. Even if you sell a story that can be sensationalised, to utterly lie about it all tells you what sort of magazine Closer is.
I feel very sorry that she's been had, but also, she needed to be a bit more savvy. If she did it to get the money for her friend's op, then that's fair enough, but if it was just for fame, then she got what she asked for. Trash mags like this will sensationalise everything. Let's hope others learn from this poor woman's harsh lesson.
#10: Jonathon: "As she said, 90% was totally fabricated by Closer. "
Well how do you know that? It's her word against theirs. Why is a woman who will sell her personal story for financial gain more trustworthy than a gossip magazine who prints it?
And the fact that she's still advertising her story on Pink News is indicative that she loves the attention it is bringing her.
I've not seen the article but has anyone seen the pictures they used to accompany the article as that would be a better indication of who is telling the truth. Is she 'posing' for the pictures in a Jordan-esque manner or is she posing in an ordinary manner. Even if they manipulate her size there is no way they can manipulate the poses. If she is doing your standard tabloid shocker pose then I think it's pretty clear she's just an attention seeker.
I suppose all we can do is to take this as a lesson against appearing in such publications without making absolutely sure what we're getting into. Particularly this one, which seems to take its cue straight from the tabloids (and that apology, which was basically "I'm sorry you're so stupid") with regard to such trifles as "the truth".
her story was forwarded to pink news after she informed people through various forums about how she was treated- she was eeking to warn others from making the same mistake. thats why pink news was contacted too, so that no-one else goes to closer to try and tell a real and heartwarming story only to be made into a freak by them. she isnt seeking attention, shes warning others.
Thank you Simon for your not very kind words, its really sweet that you would think that I would go all this way for some money or fame. I ment to only support others that have been through what I have, at the time all I wanted was to get people understanding trans folk are not some kind of freaks. Closer missed out the parts that I talked about what was about being the full time carer of my daughter, loosing my mum at 15 before I got to tell her, loosing my Grand parents last year, then my uncle then my father last july. This was only part of it, the list went on, I just wanted to show theres always light no matter what at the end of the tunnel!
The same person was on the Trisha show a fine line exists between fame and shame anybody getting in this rag and Trisha are in the shame camp.
No 15: Chrisie:
I don't wish to be mean but hadn't you ever read Closer before you did the interview? Do you not think that a magazine which sells itself a scandal sheet is not necessarily the best place to go to when looking for 'acceptance'. A magazine which has headlines like "World's Biggest Boobs: My natural 98ZZZ breasts weigh 8 stone" isn't necessarily the place to go to seek acceptance.
And even if it was – why do you seek acceptance from the readers of a low rent gossip mag? Surely acceptance from your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues is more important.
Nope, I never did read it untill then and yes everyone in my family does but it was not about acceptance it was about trying to be some sort of support for others.
Now I just look like a….. Idiot but lesson learnt and ive complained to the PPC.
I also would like to note, I was spoken to on the phone for a chat, not thinking it was some kind of interview. Then I was told to go to london and get photos done, then I waited and waited, called her up and said whats happening. She said well its out tomorrow, then I said dont I get to read it before hand. She said "it dont work like that" I said "what?" she said "most magazines dont let u see what was written". I said, I thought you was going to meet me and have a interview, she then said, "no, the phone call was the interview" after that, I just knew it was going to go VERY pete tong.
Chrisie, Take no notice of idiots, you're lovely for wanting to try and help others and I'm sorry your trust was abused. I wish you all the very best.
I smell a lawsuit.
To Chrissie,
If you want to help others, join a charity.
Okay I give up, you guys and girls are one tough crowd. So I tried and failed but I dont think I should be judged on lies that was written. This will be the last comment I write only because I feel I have said my peace and I have nothing more to say. For the record, I am a member of a few charities and I also have worked as a support worker for quite a few years, so please dont be rude.
Chrisie, these idiots are revolting. Wanting to get your story to a wider readership is nothing to be ashamed of. It's the people who read these magazines who are less likely to be accepting and therefore they need to hear stories like yours. You got burnt but that doesn't mean you should stop doing the right thing. It's ok for these arm chair philosophers to shout "work for a charity!" and then do nothing themselves. I hope you read this.
Best of luck and don't let it get you down! I'm sure you're a brilliant mum.
Chrisie, you've obviously learnt your lesson, as so many other people in life have from being in these cheap rags. Put it behind you, move on and keep up your charity work – you'll get better results there. And fair play to you for coming on here and discussing the incident, others will surely been educated from it also. It's also inadvertently raised awareness of trans issues (which, let's face it not all of us in this community understand entirely) and people have stood up and taken note. Shame it had to come from such a horrible bit of journalism, but silver linings and all that. Best of luck to you.
Aw, just ignore 'em, Chrisie. If you read through the comments, you'll know it's only a vocal minority who were rude. Simon Murphy is usually a nice guy, he just has this odd sort of loathing for anyone he perceives as a "fame-seeker". I get the impression that he hates our society's "cult of celebrity" and everyone who's complicit in it – whether or not they intended to be. Don't take his comments personally, it's just one of them "issues and principles" type of things, y'know?
Simon Murphy usually a nice guy? Maybe he should try and be less judgemental if he doesn't know the whole story? *rolls eyes* And all others in the comment box, too. Less of the bitchy comments, please. Let's try to act like adults and show some compassion.
The overwhelming message out of this whole discussion is that non-trans people seem to not understand the difficulties that trans-people face. I include myself in that, I barely know any trans-people at all. At univeristy (a while ago) we had to ratifying the renaming the LGB Scoiety to LGBT and I admit that I wondered what on earth the relevance was between T and myself. I'm attracted to my own gender, but I don't share any gender/identity difficulties. Some people raised questions as to why, but a few bleeding-heart liberals drowned them out before a proper discussion could be had (which, I might add, would have educated us a bit on it). There was no trans representative at the vote to inform us of what exactly we were voting on. It went through in any case, but it was badly managed.
It's a very different equality battle that's going on there – and much more complicated to LGB people. However, I'm happy to have T included with the rest of us, simply because we are the closest support network that's available. It's also helping to educate us LGB people, bit by bit.
As regards Simon Murphy, clearly we don't share many opinions, but I think his main issue is the whole desperation to be a celebrity thing. Which (almost faints), I actually agree on. Chrisie's cleared up that matter, so it's best to let it be. Our continuing education on trans matters, however, goes on…..I'm sure we've all learnt something here.
I was interviewed by Closer due to being a sex worker- thankfully I insisted on using my own photos, refused to let them use my parents names (and wrote that in an email so it was in writing) and even though they twisted what I said a bit, it wasn't terrible. Having done other media with similar reps (Love It! and the Sunday Sport) I can definitely tell you that letting you read the piece beforehand IS fair to ask and IS the norm, at least in my experience.
No justics and equality no Peace!
Gays need to fight back the same as all oppressed groups who had to raise up form oppression. The time is now, together we can all do it, that is what they are afraid of.

The acclaimed clarinetist shows off his talent as a composer on 'A Ballad for Many,' his new CD with the genre-blurring Bang on a Can All-Stars. "Calling Don Byron a jazz musician is like calling the Pacific wet - it just doesn't begin to describe it... Byron has carpentered an extraordinary career precisely by obliterating the very idea of category." -TIME Magazine

WASHINGTON -- Alabama's congressional delegation will help tap the corporate and lobbying world of Washington D.C. next week to raise money for tornado relief.
The network of Alabamians who work on Capitol Hill organized what could be a high-dollar event on short notice on a rooftop terrace of the lobbying firm Van Scoyoc Associates near the U.S. Capitol. Contribution levels for the May 10 event range from $50 to $10,000.
The House and Senate members from Alabama are among the invited guests to what is billed as the "We Are Alabama" event, said Amos Snead of Story Partners, a Washington public affairs firm with strong Alabama connections and an office in Birmingham.
The host committee is still being developed, but organizers are reaching out to a long list of Alabamians and companies with an Alabama presence, some of whom have already committed to bring big checks, Snead said.
Proceeds from the event will go to Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley's Emergency Relief Fund, the University of Alabama Acts of Kindness Fund and the American Red Cross with a special notation for disaster relief in Alabama.
Also in the Washington D.C. area, networks of college alumni have banded together for a series of events. On Tuesday morning in northern Virginia, the National Capital Chapter of the University of Alabama's National Alumni Association was loading up donated supplies at a church parking lot.
Midway through the afternoon, more than 100 people had dropped off items to be trucked down to Alabama today, said Timothy Williamson, president of the National Capital Chapter, which includes alumni in Maryland, Washington D.C. and northern Virginia. And money-raising happy hours were planned at various bars throughout the week.
A "Southern Night" and silent auction raised $9,226 for the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund when between 400 and 500 people showed up at a Glover Park bar Saturday night to pitch in.
"I was blown away," Williamson said of the turn out. "There was a line down the street by 11 p.m."
A football signed by UA football star and NFL player Terrence Cody, donated by an alum, fetched $500.
Word of the events travels fast through social media and email.
"This is a long term thing. We'll be doing fundraisers for a long time, for the foreseeable future, and I have no problem with that," said Williamson, 27, an engineer who lives in the DC suburb of Reston, Va. "We've had all kinds of local Auburn and Alabama alums, as well as people with no connection whatsoever, just good people. It really restores your faith in mankind."
On Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Richard Shelby, a Tuscaloosa native, spoke on the Senate floor about the tornado relief efforts.
"Thousands of Alabamians have opened their homes, donated supplies, made contributions, and rushed to help in any way they could," Shelby said. "After witnessing the selfless generosity of complete strangers and the sheer resilience of those affected by the storms, I have never been more proud to call Alabama my home. I am convinced that together we will overcome this terrible tragedy."

A Bethlehem man is facing charges after police said he burned his girlfriend's face with a cigarette over Facebook posts.
According to police, Brandon James Moore, 25, argued with his girlfriend over some social media messages on Dec. 31, 2012.
The woman told police that during the fight Moore put a lit cigarette to the right side of her face which caused a burn. She then pushed him away and he turned around and hit her twice in the back of the head, police said.
Moore then walked away before police arrived, she said.
Moore is facing charges of simple assault, domestic violence and harassment.
He was taken to the Northampton County Prison after being unable to post $5,000 cash bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 17.

ISHPEMING - In an effort to begin counteracting what could be a $1.5 million budget shortfall if the governor's budget proposal is approved, the NICE school board approved voluntary severance plans for teachers and support staff.
At a special meeting Thursday, the board approved two separate agreements - one for members of the NICE Teachers Association and one for support staff in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union.
"We're very interested in doing the best thing for our district and our valued employees," board President Brett French said.
Article Video
Available to teachers eligible for retirement and with 15 years of consecutive service to the district, the teacher's VSP provides a payment of $30,000 spread over three years to teachers who participate in the plan to retire at the end of this school year.
"The plan does not become effective unless we have (at least) three participants," Superintendent Michael Haynes said.
Haynes added that although the plan sets the maximum number of participants at seven, the maximum number could be modified by the board depending on who would be retiring and what position that would leave the district in.
Article Photos
"Every retirement represents decades of experience and knowhow that leaves our district, and it's critical to recognize that even three could be 90 to 100 years of experience that could be walking out of the district," Haynes said. "We want to make sure we don't jeopardize our ability to maintain an outstanding program."
If three teachers take advantage of the plan, the VSP would mean a savings of $100,000 if those teachers are not replaced.
The VSP for the AFSCME employees requires 15 years of experience and eligibility for retirement for support staff employed full-time at least nine months of the year. The plan, which requires a minimum of four participants, provides those who retire an amount equal to 10 percent of their final average compensation (their best three or five years of work, depending on their retirement plan), paid over two years.
The teachers and support staff have 45 days, or until May 16, to take advantage of the plan.
"It's likely we're going to need to reduce staff in every area," Haynes said of the budget process.
The VSP allows the district to reduce staff while avoiding layoffs and involuntary changes, he said.
Other measures the board is looking at to reduce costs, as provided in a worksheet of budgeting options on the district's website, include a reduction in the superintendent's pay, elimination of assistant principals, changes to administration, reducing board stipends, as well as other options.
"Nothing is forged in stone at this point," Haynes said.
The district has created an area on its website to keep the community up to date on its budget process. To see the district's budget projection, timeline, revenues and background about the district, as well as the budget reduction options worksheet, go to www.nice.k12.mi.us/District/FinancialInformation.aspx.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Jeremy Bonderman will throw about 30 pitches today on a back field at Tigertown, but they could be 30 of the most significant pitches of the spring for the Tigers.
If all goes well with Bonderman's stiff right shoulder during the intrasquad game, he is expected to still have time to prepare for the regular season and will be scheduled to make his first Grapefruit League start Thursday against the Atlanta Braves.
Manager Jim Leyland will monitor Bonderman's progress today closely, paying particular attention to a couple things.
"Well, No. 1, how does he throw the ball?" Leyland said. "And No. 2, most importantly, how does he feel the next day?"
Bonderman is penciled in as one of Leyland's four settled starters, along with Justin Verlander, Armando Galarraga and Edwin Jackson. Left-handers Dontrelle Willis and Nate Robertson, rookie Rick Porcello and Zach Miner have competed this spring for the fifth spot.
If Bonderman's shoulder does not respond well, it will open the door for another of the four pitchers competing for the fifth starter job to break camp in the rotation.
"Depending on a trade," Leyland said, "I'd say that's a slam dunk."
Willis and Robertson will pitch today against the Blue Jays at Marchant Stadium. Porcello is scheduled to pitch Sunday against the Nationals, and Miner is on track to pitch Monday against St. Louis.
Reliever Joel Zumaya had been scheduled to pitch in the intrasquad game but was scratched after he developed spasms in his sore right shoulder. Leyland said no date had been set for Zumaya's return to the mound.
Reliever Fernando Rodney also had been scheduled to pitch in the intrasquad game to stretch himself out to two innings, but Leyland said Rodney is stretched out enough at this point. Reliever Kyle Bloom remains scheduled to pitch in the game.
Leyland mum on opening day
Leyland said he has decided on his starter for opening day (April 6 at Toronto) and for the home opener (April 10 against Texas), but he is not ready to reveal his choices.
"I've actually decided on about three pitchers," Leyland said.
Verlander, who made his first opening day start last season, would seem to be the logical choice for this season, as well. But Leyland did not rule out Galarraga or Jackson, either
WBC players will work
The five Tigers regulars still active in the World Baseball Classic can expect a sizable work load when they rejoin the team, Leyland said.
"They've got to play," Leyland said. "I'm not going to kill them, but they've got to play."
Curtis Granderson (U.S.) and Venezuelans Miguel Cabrera, Magglio Ordonez, Carlos Guillen and Galarraga could be separated from the Tigers until the final week of March, depending on how far their WBC teams advance.
"I'm worried about all of them," Leyland said.
Treanor returns, Wells out
Catcher Matt Treanor, who missed a week with soreness associated with sports hernia surgery Oct. 2, pinch-hit in the seventh against the Mets on Friday and caught the final two innings of the 9-4 loss.
Outfielder Casper Wells, who tweaked his right elbow early in spring training, had the elbow examined Friday. Results are expected to be released today.
Meanwhile, Leyland said outfielder Marcus Thames, who is out with a strained oblique muscle, is "improving."
Ilitch at Tigertown
Tigers owner Mike Ilitch made his first visit to Tigers camp this spring. He spent about 20 minutes behind closed doors in Leyland's office with the manager and general manager Dave Dombrowski.
"It was just a general conversation about what I've seen so far, what I think," Leyland said. "I thought he asked some good questions. I thought I gave him good answers."

Darron Thomas and Nate Costa shared time Wednesday morning, and appeared to take an equal number of snaps with the first team.
"They're doing good things and they're doing bad things," UO coach Chip Kelly said. "We need more consistency out of both of them. There are times when, wow, that's a real good play.
"Then there are other times where, 'Hey, we've got to get ourselves out of that play. There is a check system in and you didn't get to it.' A couple of those sacks weren't their fault. The running backs missed a guy so they're not looking for the 'hot' (receiver). But I still think we need more consistency out of that position overall."
Incoming freshman Bryan Bennett got a lot of time with the third team on Wednesday morning. He looked good running the option, but served up a pair of interceptions.

It is made from only the finest all-natural plant substances, and is rapidly ABSORBED by every cell in the body.

CELLFOOD contains enhanced oxygen, 72 trace minerals, 35 metabolic enzymes, 17 amino acids and electrolytes, plus helps to balance the pH ---all in one little bottle!! In heavy toxic conditions, go slow in the beginning and gradually work up to the "amount suggested on the bottle". We suggest putting in your drinking water on a daily basis. CELLFOOD oxygenates the cells and detoxifies.
[ 1 oz.bottle is $24.95 Retail]
Liquid SILICA – by Lumina Products is highly suggested to use with the Magnetic ALUMINUM Detox Bath Detox Bath as silica is an antidote to aluminum. This product is liquid and again, highly assimilated, to absorb its nutrients into the body. The clay bath and liquid silica together will enhance greater progress in assisting the aluminum to clear out of the body.
We have learned that when there is aluminum in the body, the antidote is silica! When there is enough ASSIMILATED silica in the body, there is no aluminum! We have found a liquid, highly assimilated silica. We suggest using this product along with our Aluminum Detox Baths for greater effectiveness. Again, start slow and then proceed gradually (over several weeks) to the amount stated on the bottle. The body usually adjusts better gradually, then a "jolt" of a dose that is too much for it!

MUNDY TWP, MI — Heather McMullen knows first-hand about the impact Old Newsboys of Flint can make on a family.
As the nonprofit's finance director, her main responsibility is keeping track of the company's donations. But it wasn't so long ago that McMullen and her family were recipients of the very help that she now provides on a daily basis.
Old Newsboys will be celebrating its 90th anniversary at its "Christmas in July" event from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 20, at the Holiday Inn Gateway Center, 5353 Gateway Center in Flint Township.
McMullen's mother and father, Ruth and Randy Weidner, got married on June 10, 1966, at the respective ages of 15 and 16. "It's a great story," said McMullen. "She was the preacher's daughter."
By the time Randy reached out to Old Newsboys for help in 1979, he was working as a subcontractor, laying carpet for a living, and Ruth worked as a retail clerk at J.C. Penney. The couple had three children — ages 5, 11 and 12. "We were poor," said McMullen. The family lived on Brobeck Street near Randels Elementary School.
McMullen remembers getting a care package with a pair of brown pants in it. "I remember them talking to us about it, that it was from Old Newsboys and that we should be very appreciative. We should be thankful for whatever we got because somebody else was able to help," she said.
McMullen said the care package from Old Newsboys, then a white box containing articles of clothing, candy and a new toy for each child, gave her parents the little cushion they needed to give her and her siblings a better Christmas.
It allowed them to buy a couple of things to make it better for the children, who knew they weren't getting much. McMullen said though her significantly older brother and sister didn't believe in Santa by then, she did. "I was the baby," said McMullen, who was 5 years old at the time.
While the family's financial stability fluctuated over the years, Randy only allowed the family to get help from Old Newsboys for two years. McMullen said her father always felt like there was somebody that needed it more.
Every year after that, her father encouraged her to give. She remembers her dad saying, "You give money every time you see them."
"When I was 17, I had my first job. I was on my way to school and my dad said, 'They'll be out. You stop and you give no less than $20, no matter what.' He always, always gave back," she said.
When McMullen was hired as the director of finance at Old Newsboys in 2008, no one could have been more delighted than her father. For the next four years, he stood on street corners every second Friday in December selling Old Newsboys newspapers for the organization's biggest fundraiser of the year. His wife, Ruth, would help on the inside, folding clothes and packing boxes.
Unfortunately, 2012 was the last time McMullen would see her father selling papers for the Old Newsboys, as Randy Weidner died unexpectedly from pulmonary hypertension at the age of 63 on Feb. 15, 2013. McMullen held back tears when she explained that her father went to sleep on Valentine's Day and never woke up. He and his wife would have celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary this past June 10.
"We miss him," McMullen smiled with tears in her eyes. "But he taught us. They made it. They beat the odds."
Now, McMullen and her husband Bill are carrying on the legacy of her father in their own family. She said they try to teach their two boys, Austin, 15, and Dylan, 11, about the importance of giving back to the community and helping others. McMullen said that her boys volunteer no less than 50 hours each year.
Old Newsboys has changed immensely since that time when the Weidner family needed help, but one thing never changed — its devotion to children.
"With Heather's family being helped by Old Newsboys when she was a child, she has a tremendous amount of passion for the organization. She does not want any child to go without a Christmas present on Christmas morning. She knows first-hand what it feels like to be in that position," said Chris Hamilton, executive director of Old Newsboys.
Hamilton said that McMullen's experience as a recipient of an Old Newsboys package as a child pushes her to achieve the organization's goal to "Let No Child Be Forgotten."
Old Newsboys of Flint has helped over 787,000 children since its inception in 1924 with its three basic programs.
The Christmas Box Program provides a new age-appropriate toy/gift and care package consisting of a sweatsuit, two pairs of socks, two pairs of underwear, stocking cap, pair of Thinsulate gloves, and dental hygiene products to qualifying children.
The Warm Hearts and Healthy Starts Program provides shoes and coats to needy children; and the Emergency Box Program helps entire families, including adults, get back on their feet after they lose everything in a fire or some other catastrophe with all the things Old Newsboys has at its disposal, plus slightly used donated household items for families that get burnt out of their homes or apartments.
"We really help with the necessities. I know that sometimes Christmas, it is about toys. But what we do is provide the necessities. And I think parents like us for that reason. Because they know that even though the kid might not wear the sweatsuit as an outfit, that's a pair of pajamas maybe. Toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, socks, underwear, the things that you have to buy that they may not have the extra money to buy," said McMullen.
Old Newsboys are looking for artifacts from the past to put on display at the anniversary celebration and asks that anyone who is in possession of old photos or other Old Newsboys memorabilia contact the Flint office at 810-744-1840.
Donations are currently being taken at the Old Newsboys Flint office located at 6255 Taylor Drive in Mundy Township. Those unwilling to part with their relics can donate the items for the day and pick-up is available upon request as well.
