a secret corner
I am taking part in Catherine's Betchfest, an exchange geared at allowing bloggers to have a safe place to vent outside their own space and as such I have agreed to host another woman's post on my blog. She's asked to remain anonymous, but I am sure you'll be as moved as I am by her words and I applaud her courageousness in allowing her voice to speak here. I am sure she'd appreciate your comments about her post.
I am 11 weeks postpartum. Eleven weeks out from what I'm coming to realize was a truly a difficult, difficult pregnancy.
Throughout this pregnancy we moved house and into what would become a very stressful tenant/landlord situation, our son turned two and caught a violent strain of the rotavirus, landing him in the pediatric intensive care unit for five days, then a month later had tubes put in his ear. I vomited every day and gained only nine pounds. My husband filed bankruptcy and we unplugged our phone after my anxiety attacks came like waves every time the phone rang.
And here we are. Our beautiful daughter is a treasure and I love her with every ounce of my being. But those were some horrible ten months.
And now, my husband feels entitled to remind me that I was mean, and crazy, and unhappy, and complaining all the time. Here I am struggling with what I suspect is becoming a bout with my old friend depression and my husband must hold over my head what a burden I am, emotionally and financially.
In just this last week, he went to the movies, to a ball game, to the bar with my visiting brother. Last week he was gone all weekend at a bachelor party. And then he told me that I ask for too much. All I wanted was an hour to read a book at a coffee shop, alone. But we don't have the money. Not even for a cup of coffee.
He hasn't been kind to me. He's miserable in his job. He carries the load of supporting our family, which we both felt was best. But the price these days has gone up, and I'm paying with my self-esteem and self-worth. To be reminded that I don't bring an income in, to be made to feel as though I am less deserving of personal time, to be made to feel as a second class citizen in my home… fuck that shit.
And fuck you for saying I was mean, or unsupportive, or cranky, or insulting me because I didn't want to have sex. I was vomiting and physically disabled. Thanks for your support.
I gave everything every single day to raising our son. There was very little left over for myself or for my husband. I did the best I could.

I am so, so very sorry that you've had to deal with that. At one point in my own marriage I could have written this post.
I hope it improves for you, I really wish you the best. You deserve to be happy. - 6:52 PM
Aw, shit.
Fucking men.
I have no wisdom at all for you. Just support. Hang in there. - 7:01 PM
- Magpie said...
Big hug to you, and I'm sorry that you had to (have to) deal with that. And I'm glad that Jen gave you a home.
- Karen said...
oh dear - you know, you are right to be angry. Keep in touch with the truth serum. it will help you.
take care of yourself -even before those sweet kids sometimes! they get their strength from you - feed yourself, body and soul.
hoping for things to shift in a good way for you. - 7:04 PM
- Major Bedhead said...
I'm sorry you're having to deal with such ass-hattery. I hope he comes to his senses soon because you don't deserve to be treated that way. Not at all.
- Walking With Scissors said...
I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with all of this. It's hard when your partner doesn't understand just how much your body and mind go through during pregnancy, childbirth and afterward. I doubt men could do it. The hormones enough could knock Andre the Giant to his knees. I hope things get better and that your husband lets go of the anger and control issues. ((hugs)) Best of luck to you and your family.
- Redneck Mommy said...
Wow. I could have wrote this post at one point in my early marriage.
Luckily, things improved dramatically with my marriage. I wish the same for you.
Good luck. And be good to yourself. Your kids need it. - 7:29 PM
- Jill said...
Oh honey. I don't know what to say. You have every right to be pissed off. Sounds like your husband is bitter about attention being taken away from him, which doesn't say much for him as a father. I hope he snaps out of it soon, for your sake, your kids' sake and his!
- Don Mills Diva said...
I think a lot of us could have written this at one time or another. Men really don't get how intense the infant stage is for us, they just don't.
I really hope things get better for you. - 8:12 PM
- mitzh said...
I feel and totally understand you.
Hoping that things will turn out just fine. Wishing you happiness as well. Take care! - 10:13 PM
- Kyla said...
Oh you. That sounds very difficult. I hope he realizes what he's got and starts to appreciate you. You bring a lot to your family, to your relationship...even if it isn't monetary. You are valuable.
- carrie said...
Like a lot of people have already said, I've been somewhat close to being in your shoes early on in my marriage too - and it does get better. But please don't be afraid to get the help or support you need if you need it. You don't have to do it alone, there are people who will help.
I am glad you were able to get this out here, in a safe environment. - 12:45 AM
- Pgoodness said...
Do you have anyone at all that can watch the kids for you just so you can step away for an hour or two?
Fine, he's miserable, and fine he carries the load of monetary support, but he needs to understand that you are carrying the load of parental support (WAY harder, fyi). I think it's time to sit him down and have a frank discussion of how you feel - I'm hoping he truly doesn't realize what he's doing/saying and how it hurts you.
Hang in there - it's tough when you go from one to two; it's even tougher when you don't have the support you need. - 5:44 AM
- verybadcat said...
What you are doing is worth more than any amount of money. Hopefully at some point your husband will realize this. Until he does, I think it's time to find a friend or a church group or someone to take those babies for few hours so you can get some time for yourself.
I also think you deserve an allowance, even if the circumstances dictate that it's some paltry amount- it might be enough for a cup of coffee and a paperback book. I would fight hard on this one point, if you don't think he's ready to see the rest of it.
Your kids will grow to recognize and appreciate your sacrifice. I know that's little help right now, but as a grown child, I can tell you, they will thank you someday. - 7:31 AM
- meno said...
It's just so difficult to get someone to see things from another point of view, yours.
I see it quite clearly however. - 7:57 AM
- crazymumma said...
I lived this post. I think it is awful how some men behave. And it takes a true toll on the future trust.
I hope he comes to his senses and does some major makeup and maturing. - 9:21 AM
- The Super Bongo said...
I'm sorry. You clearly don't deserve this treatment.
- PeterAtLarge said...
Such a sad--and sadly familiar--story. I wish you BOTH the happiness you deserve, for to do otherwise would only make things worse. Your husband's unhappiness, it seems to me, grows out of his ignorance and inability to see beyond his own needs. In this, he's not unlike an awful lot of human beings of both sexes--not excluding myself, in my bad moments! In wishing him happiness, I believe that implies some serious learning on his part. Thanks for writing this poignant and deeply instructive entry.
I'm so sorry your husband is such a jerk. Mine too. Are there any nice ones out there? Are we better off alone?
- Brenda Jean said...
I have to agree with Peteratlarge. You are having a tough time--this does not give him an excuse to act this way. You deserve better, your son deserves better. Your husband needs to understand this is a PARTNERSHIP. Tell him how you feel, if you have, tell him again. Do not let him turn the conversation away from his actions. I hope you know in your heart that you deserve better.
- The Mrs. said...
I am sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Motherhood is one of the most difficult jobs and the most underpaid. I hope your husband comes to his senses to realize what a great woman you are and that you are taking on the toughest job of all.
It took a lot of courage to write that post. I hope, by the time you read this comment, things are much better in your home. - 11:39 AM
- Velma said...
I'm so sorry it has come to this point, and I hope it improves soon. I hope you have someone you can ask to watch the kids for a little bit, just to get a break away from them, and him. It sucks when someone (men) can't see past their own stress and empathize just the smallest bit, when all it would take sometimes for us to get through the day is a few kind words.
I feel ya...Pregnant and having a hard time. However, my husband knows that should he ever udder a word such as your ungrateful husband did he would surely die in his sleep...Good luck to you and you tell that man how you feel...Being a SAHM is not an easy job, in fact its the hardest one I have ever had.

Councilman Says City Code On Recall Elections Should Be Amended
Friday, July 26, 2013
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Councilman Mark Kersey proposed Friday that a San Diego municipal code section on recall elections be amended to bring it into line with state law.
Special Feature Read the Backstory
All of the accusations, statements and apologies from the key players in the developing story about allegations of sexual harassment in Mayor Bob Filner's office and calls from former mayoral supporters for his resignation.
The City Council should discuss the issue at the next available meeting, since a recall effort against Mayor Bob Filner appears imminent, Kersey wrote in a memo to council President Todd Gloria, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith and City Clerk Elizabeth Maland.
Land-use consultant Michael Pallamary told reporters he will formally begin a recall campaign against the mayor, who faces sexual harassment allegations from at least seven women, if Filner fails to resign by Monday at 5 p.m.
Also, Stampp Corbin, the owner and publisher of LGBT Weekly, took out an advertisement in U-T San Diego to signal his intent to start a recall campaign.
Filner said Friday that, instead of resigning, he plans to take two weeks off to seek behavioral counseling.
Kersey said San Diego's code sections governing recall elections haven't been updated since 1989, and include language "nearly identical'' to a state law that was struck down in federal court in 2003.
The old state law said, "No vote cast in the recall election shall be counted for any candidate unless the voter also voted for or against the recall of the officer sought to be recalled,'' according to Kersey.
The San Diego code section says, "No vote cast for a candidate shall be counted unless the voter also voted on the recall question,'' Kersey said.
The councilman said striking down the state law means California voters can choose a candidate whether or not they vote on the recall issue itself.
Election attorneys believe the San Diego rule that disallows such flexibility for voters is unconstitutional, he said.
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith opined that the San Diego code section would not survive a legal challenge and should be repealed.
Pallamary, Corbin or any other party would need to collect about 102,000 valid signatures to qualify a recall election for a citywide ballot.
According to the city clerk's office, no citywide recall effort of a San Diego municipal government official has ever qualified for the ballot.
However, citywide petition campaigns to place initiatives on the ballot have been successful in the past.

It would be nice if you had included why the state law was struck down in federal court in 2003. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it just isn't obvious to me. Bringing local law into line with changed state law seems like a really good idea to me, but the curious among us wonder, "Why?" the current wording was declared unconstitutional at the state level.
RLA | July 27, 2013 at 2:59 p.m. ― 3 years, 8 months ago
Another point for Filner! Competing recall attempts and now Filner can stay in office while the recall works it's way to the California Supreme Court.
Perhaps the Dems should have thought this out before pushing this guy into office.
RichardRider | July 29, 2013 at 7:54 a.m. ― 3 years, 8 months ago
There should be enough city council votes to override any mayoral veto at this point.
But the bigger problem is the threat of a bogus recall to short circuit a legitimate recall effort. A fake recall apparently can void a legit recall, as a failed effort blocks another attempt for 6 months, negating all the cost and signatures the legit effort provides.
jckcomm | July 29, 2013 at 8:50 a.m. ― 3 years, 8 months ago
As a newcomer to the City of San Diego, I thought I was moving to a paradise that was free from petty scandals, and had that "dude" or laid back attitude. Well, I guess not. At any rate, the City Council and citizens should get rid of this guy ASAP, as he is an embarrassment and a fool, not to mention a drag on the Democratic Party. He is actually worse for the overall image of San Diego than "Ron Burgundy"
MarineRoom | July 29, 2013 at 9:34 a.m. ― 3 years, 8 months ago
The voters put Mr. Filner in the Mayor's office.

By the way, my comment above was addressed to RLA.

Jewish World Review Nov. 28, 2012/ 14 Kislev, 5773 The only tradition to keep absolutely By Sharon Randall
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Every holiday is different. Like the people we love, no two are quite the same. We can try to hang onto our traditions. I know I have. I bet you have, too.
But the more we try to relive the past, the more life likes to laugh and say, "Sorry, that was then, this is now."
Take this Thanksgiving.
For the first two decades of my life, I spent every Thanksgiving at my grandparents' home. My mother was one of nine girls who'd show up with a covered dish and a carload of cousins.
Each year would be different depending on who showed up and how much we'd changed.
We would eat and drink and talk and laugh until we had our fill. Then we'd do it some more.
It was Thanksgiving. We were thankful. It was good.
Then I moved to California, married, had three babies and spent 30 Thanksgivings with my in-laws, total strangers who became my family.
Each year would be different, depending on who showed up and how much we'd changed.
We would eat and drink and talk and laugh until we had our fill. Then we'd do it some more.
It was Thanksgiving. We were thankful. It was good.
After my first husband died, my children and I decided to start a new tradition. We stayed home and invited friends to join us. I cooked. A lot.
Each year would be different depending on who showed up, how much we'd changed and how badly I burned the turkey.
We would eat and drink and talk and laugh until we had our fill. Then we'd do it some more.
It was Thanksgiving. We were thankful. It was good.
When I remarried and moved with my new husband 500 miles from our grown children, holidays became a hodgepodge, an ever-changing Norman Rockwell-style scene of faces, places and evolving traditions.
We made the best of it. I still cooked, here, there, wherever. We were thankful. It was good.
This Thanksgiving was a big change for me. My only daughter and favorite son-in-law, who hosted in their new home, refused to let me cook. But we still ate and drank and talked and laughed until we had our fill. Then we did it some more.
It was Thanksgiving. We were thankful. It was good. And the turkey wasn't burnt at all.
My favorite part came after dinner. I was playing on the floor with my grandsons. Randy is 2. Henry is 1. I wish you could've seen them.
They were doddering around the room like happy little drunks, when suddenly they stopped, looked in each other's eyes and laughed really big, with every cell in their bodies, as if they knew things, secrets that no one else knew.
Cousins. Go figure.
They thought they could fool me. Not a chance. I am their nana. I know all their secrets. I can't tell you what they are, but I will tell you this:
In their laughter, I heard loud and clear, distant but near, countless voices -- generations of joined families who lived and laughed and loved them long before they were born.
It was Thanksgiving. It was good. I was thankful.
There are all sorts of traditions worth keeping. But the only one to keep absolutely is love.

Cantu hopes to make most of interim stint
LOS ANGELES Bob Cantu has been here before. In 2011, just before a conference tournament game, Cantu learned that USC suspended basketball coach Kevin O'Neill and that he would coach the Trojans.
"The last time was three hours before a game. This one is three days before a game, so I have a little more time to prep," Cantu said, laughing.
The stakes are also much higher this time. On Monday morning, USC fired O'Neill and named Cantu as its interim coach. Cantu's tenure starts Thursday night with a Pac-12 home game against Oregon.
At age 38, in his 12th year as a USC assistant coach (and 17th overall) Cantu gets his greatest opportunity to date. He will serve as USC's interim coach for the final 14 games of the season and get a high-profile chance to show his wares. Even if he doesn't get the USC job permanently, he might catch the eye of another program.
Known as an ace recruiter, Cantu has a long resume at a young age. Five years after he graduated from Chapman, Cantu landed a spot on then-coach Henry Bibby's staff in 2002, and Cantu was kept on by successors Tim Floyd and O'Neill. Cantu is more mild-mannered than O'Neill but is affable and well-respected.
"My job is to try to provide leadership and energy and try to get our guys really focused and ready to play," Cantu said.
Cantu ran his first practice Tuesday and said he plans some immediate changes. The Trojans will play at a higher tempo and play more zone defense, and players such as Ari Stewart and Renaldo Woolridge, who had fallen out of favor under O'Neill, might get fresh looks.
"There are certain guys who need to play more minutes," Cantu said. "We need everybody. We're in a situation where we need everybody to play the best they can."
If any player on the USC roster had reason to celebrate O'Neill's dismissal, it would be frequent doghouse resident J.T. Terrell, but Terrell maturely offered nothing but praise for his former coach.
Terrell, a top JC scorer last season, had been expected to be USC's leading scorer this season. One month into the season, though, O'Neill dropped Terrell from the starting lineup, and Terrell didn't leave the bench at all in a Jan. 5 loss to Cal.
After he fired O'Neill, Athletic Director Pat Haden reached out to current players and also recruits who have signed with USC and are scheduled to enroll in the fall. Haden made a good impression on at least one.
Kahlil Dukes, a guard from Connecticut, took to Twitter on Monday and expressed sadness for O'Neill but also enthusiastically remained committed to USC.

More than 100 people attended the Taste of Israel event on April 28 and enjoyed traditional cuisine.
Contrary to a once-popular belief, eating eggplant does not cause insanity. Eggplant, once referred to as "mala insane" or the raging apple, was thought to cause a host of ailments. Grown first in India and Pakistan 4,000 years ago, eggplants are members of the nightshade family, along with tomatoes, potatoes and peppers. Thomas Jefferson loved his vegetables. Disregarding the eggplant's bad reputation, he introduced it into his Monticello garden.
Everybody loves meatballs. There's not a country that doesn't have its own ethnic blend. Call them polpette, konigsberger klope, boulettes or frikadeller — we're talking meatballs. If you happen to be attending a graduation party in the near future, you'll probably sample some meatballs, which invariably show up on the buffet table. Who can resist a meatball sandwich?
The sun is shining, snow is melting away, and fresh fruits and vegetables are looking more and more vibrant.
It's finally spring! The flowers aren't quite blooming yet, but the snow is over (I hope). As the residue of winter storms have now been turned into water, much of the Northeast has become saturated with sogginess. How much ice and snow is too much? Where will all this water go?

Each person's comfort food is unique to him (or her) self. However, some studies propose that positive emotions cause comfort food eating in men, while negative emotions cause it in women. Caution, ladies: Eat a little comfort food, and walk a little more.
"Where there's smoke, there's fire." Who said that? Was it Smokey the Bear? Regardless, you don't need smoke signals to know that there's a barbecue happening. Follow your nose and it will lead you directly to the grill.
Within the span of one month, our neighborhood got two new residents. My family moved in just weeks before my next-door neighbor, Jeannette, did. Besides being a nice neighbor, Jeannette is a wonderful artist who shares her talents with many of us each week at art class. She's a patient teacher and a gracious lady. I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor, even if she were Mr. Rogers.
An unknown burglar stole some dough from a Mayfair pizza place on March 11.
"All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed. For after all, he was only human. He wasn't a dog."
"I think I was born with a rolling pin in my hand," I declared as I wielded the instrument of flat destruction across the pizza dough, flattening the lump into one, very thin cover for a Stromboli extraordinaire. We were making a Stromboli — my sister-in-law, Denise, and me. It would be our family's last visit to Atlanta to see Nanny, my husband's mother, who was in at-home hospice at Denise's house. Denise wanted to learn how to make Stromboli. But who can do that without a rolling pin? A previous phone conversation had disclosed that we would be without that necessary tool, so I brought mine along on our trip from Philadelphia.
For many years, Nov. 11 was a holiday for me. It meant no reveille that morning. It meant a day without fighting my way through traffic formations. It meant no maneuvering to try to find a seat on the express train to town. It was a day to desist from the duties of the day's regimented drills. Clearly, I wasn't AWOL. I was just on a day's leave, thanks to the veterans. I always appreciated that day.
The apple, the original forbidden fruit, was the choice fruit in the Garden of Eden. There are more than 7,500 varieties of apples grown in the world today. Eve ate one of them.
Once upon a time in the city of Munich, Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. All the people of Munich were invited to attend the festivities, which were held on Oct. 12, 1810, on the fields in front of the city gates. All of Bavaria celebrated with the happy couple, and the party ended with horse races in the presence of the royal family.

I bought this house last July and i knew there might be some issues in the portion of the deck. Today I opened it and all I found suprised me. It is worse than I expected. please see those photos followed. the wood above the concrete foundation was rotten. any ideas how to fix it? from inside or outside? I will permanently move the deck away from the wall otherwise it will happen again. thanks
No announcement yet.
big issue, please help
Re: big issue, please help
.What caused the deterioration - moisture, termites, carpenter ants? What do the ends of the floor joists, box sill if there is one and studs look like. Any rot there? This is not a complex repair job. Just jack up the house one section at a time, rip the old wood out and slide in a new sill plate. If the studs are rotted cut the rot off, replace the length cut off and sister new wood next to the old studs. You do not have to jack the entire lenth of the house up all at one time and replace the entire sill all at once. If there are windows above your work area you should try to place your jacks so that one jack is on each side of the window. This will help prevent cracking the glass. If, for about a million reasons, the new sill won't fit beneath a dangling stud use a circular saw and remove a little of the wood on the sill where the offending stud is and slide the sill in. If you need to replace a floor joist; with the wall jacked up slide the new joist in on an angle with the bottom next to the old joist. Get it where you want it and give it a good hit with a sledge hammer. It will pop right in next to the old joist.
I would suggest you acquire a building jack or a rail jack to raise the house, I don't trust hydraulic jacks for this type work. Go easy with the hammering because with studs dangling the sheetrock can pop away from the studs when they wiggle.
I have done a few of these and it is no big deal. The rotted wood makes it look worse than it actually is. Once you are started the job will go pretty fast. You will be fine.
I don't see any structural reason to permanently remove the deck after the repair. It won't necessarily happen again if you keep the moisture away from the wood. Generally I am not in favor of gutters. Home owners put them up way more than is necessary as far as I am concerned, but the area above your deck might be an exception.
I had been telling my wife for 20 years that the same thing was going to happen to our house but she liked it the way it was. "OK, keep your plants next to the house and keep the topsoil high enough so the moisture never leaves the sill and we will see what happens." Last fall she hired a contractor to jack up the house and replace the sills. I refused to do it and refused to pay for any part because, "I told you so."

At 4:45 AM on June 1st, 2008, the famous and historic Courthouse Square burnt down in the Universal Studios fire. The back lot also lost New York Street, New England Street, the set of Ghost Whisperer, the King Kong attraction, and the film vault.
After completing the largest set construction project in Hollywood history, Courthouse Square reopened to the public. Since the 1940s, over a thousand television shows and movies have been filmed at Courthouse Square. Some of the more famous ones include: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Nutty Professor (1996), Gremlins, Back To The Future, Bye Bye Birdie and CBS' Friday night hit, Ghost Whisperer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Press was invited to a christening to celebrate the reopening of Courthouse Square 10AM on June 18th, and the USC marching band played as the first tram came through, marking studio history. Guests on the tram enjoyed quite a show as famous movie characters (such as the professor from Back to the Future and the Nutty Professor) danced to the music and press walked around to see the famous Courthouse Square. It looked absolutely beautiful.
Particularly impressive were the restored Ghost Whisperer sets. They looked very similar to the originals. (They started filming Ghost Whisperer there in 2005). It was a nice way to celebrate the opening.
Guests can now take a tram from Universal Studios to visit the back lot in order to see Courthouse Square. The trams are now equipped with HD TVs and are dubbed as "mobile movie theaters." The rest of the back lot, including the King Kong attraction, will open next spring. So, they are still adding to the back lot.
The Courthouse Square is very famous and gives guests a chance to be on a real movie set. If you live in the LA area, pay a visit to the new and improved back lot. It's been brought back to life.

Diligent Gamer Outsmarts Xbox 360 Thief
Ryan Ketsenburg, a sophomore construction management major at Missouri State had just returned from a field trip, and was so exhausted he apparently left his dorm room door unlocked. Someone snuck in that night and snagged Ketsenburg's console.
But they left his wireless controller. He was able to get it to connect to the console, which meant it was nearby. After that it was just a matter of legwork, as Ketsenburg used the controller to close in on the culprit.
The controller, which has a 30-foot range, connected to the Xbox on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the dorm, but not on the third and seventh floors. Logically, it had to be one on the fifth floor.
He eventually narrowed the search down to an exact room, and then called the fifth floor R.A. The console was found, and since the controller was able to turn it on, was confirmed to be Ketsenburg's.
But despite finding the console, he's out a lot: the hard drive had been reformatted, erasing his game data. And that, not the theft, is why he is going to prosecute.
"I'm going to try to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, because I had to follow all the rules, so let's make sure it gets done right," Ketsenburg said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are staying put more than at any time since World War II, as the housing bust and unemployment keep young adults at home and thwart older Americans' plans for a beachfront or lakeside retirement.
New information from the Census Bureau is the latest indicator of economic trouble, after earlier signs that mobility was back on the upswing. It's also a shift from America's long-standing cultural image of ever-changing frontiers, dating to the westward migration of the 1800s and more recently in the spreading out of whites, blacks and Hispanics in the Sun Belt's housing boom.
Rather than housing magnets such as Arizona, Florida and Nevada, it is now more traditional, densely populated states — California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey — that are showing some of the biggest population gains in the recent economic slump, according to the data released Thursday.
Residents have been largely locked in place; families are stuck in devalued homes and young adults are living with parents or staying put in the towns where they went to college.
"The fact that mobility is crashing is something that I think is quite devastating," said Richard Florida, an urban theorist and professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. He described America's residential movement as a key element of its economic resilience and history, from development of the nation's farmland in the Midwest to its coastal ports and homesteading in the West.
"The latest decline shows we are in a long-run economic reset and that we never really recovered — we've just been stagnating along," Florida said.
Roughly 11.6 percent of the nation's population, or 35.1 million, moved to a new home in the past year, down from 12.5 percent in the previous year. The current level of low mobility comes after the recession technically ended in mid-2009, beating a previous low of 11.9 percent in 2008.
It is the lowest in the 60-plus years that the Census Bureau has tracked information on moves, dating back to 1948.
The shares of people moving have been declining for decades, due in part to increases in two-income families that are more tied down by jobs and to an aging population that is less mobile. The peak for U.S. mobility came in 1951, when it hit 21.2 percent. The rate had leveled off at around 13 percent before falling off notably in 2008 during the recession.
Among young adults 25 to 29 — the most mobile age group — moves fell to 24.1 percent from 25.9 percent in the previous year. Longer-distance moves, typically for those seeking new careers in other regions of the country, remained largely flat at 3.4 percent. The biggest drop-off occurred in local moves, down to 15.4 percent from 17.7 percent in 2010, a sign that young adults in the prolonged slump weren't even willing to venture outside their counties, continuing instead to live with relatives or on college campuses.
Americans most often cite a desire to live in a new home as the main reason for moving, as well as reasons of family or economy such as marriage or a new job. But analysts say with many young adults delaying marriage while struggling to find employment and aging baby boomers expressing financial worries about retirement, the current mobility freeze could continue for several more years.
An Associated Press-LifeGoesStrong.com poll this month found that more than half of baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 say they are unlikely to move someplace new in retirement; about 4 in 10 say they are very likely to stay in their current home throughout all of their retirement.
The annual growth of retirement-destination counties — typically in Sun Belt states such as Florida, Arizona and New Mexico — has fallen sharply since the recession that began in late 2007. It's down nearly half compared with the period 2000-2007, according to recent census data.
In all, the mid-decade housing boom and subsequent bust took a toll on virtually all age and race groups. Homeownership declined in 47 states and the District of Columbia while the national ownership rate fell by its largest amount since the 1930s. Hispanics who moved and purchased homes in new destinations in the Southeast were hit especially hard, sustaining bigger drops in average income and increases in poverty after low-wage construction jobs dried up in states such as South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee.
In contrast, middle-class blacks from the North who migrated to Southern states such as Georgia, Florida and Texas fared better, maintaining higher incomes than African-Americans who remained in declining industrial centers such as Michigan and Ohio.
Other bright spots in the housing bust included urban, high-tech college meccas that are proving to be a draw for young, college-educated adults of all races and ethnicities. The data covering 2008-2010 show that Raleigh, N.C.; Austin, San Antonio and Houston, Texas; Denver; Pittsburgh; and Baltimore and Washington, D.C., all of which tend to promise specialized tech jobs and hip lifestyles, had some of the biggest gains in residents.
William H. Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer who reviewed the education and race data, said many of these cities will continue to attract new residents after the economy fully recovers. He said other cities must seek ways to diversify their industries, draw new investment and build partnerships with local universities to attract young talent, much like Pittsburgh has been striving to do after the collapse of its steel industry.
"Right now, the 'cool' cities are serving as way stations for the small number of adventurous young people who are willing to move in a down economy. But when the broader economy picks up, a much larger group of people will move to wherever the jobs spring up," Frey said, noting that people are staying put for now because they have to, not because they want to.
"We are now just in a lull, albeit a hyperextended one," he said.
Other findings:
—Texas posted increases in average income across all race groups even after the housing bust. Washington, D.C., had the biggest overall gain in average income between 2005-2007 and 2008-2010 time periods — increasing 9 percent to nearly $60,000; 36 states had declines.
—Washington, D.C., New York, Connecticut, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Alabama and California have levels of income inequality that rise above the national average. Broken down by large metropolitan areas, New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, Memphis, Tenn., New Orleans, San Francisco, and Birmingham, Ala., each had wider-than-average gaps between rich and poor.
—Across smaller areas of geography, Fountainhead-Orchard Hills, Md., just north of Hagerstown, had the greatest measured income inequality; Country Knolls, N.Y., near Albany, registered the least.
—Suburban and rural homeowners were more likely to stay put than others. Some 93.5 percent of the suburban and 93.7 percent of the rural population in owner-occupied units are residing in the same house as one year ago, up from the 2005-2007 time period, according to Kenneth Johnson, senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire.
—Renters were more mobile: Overall, 68.8 percent lived in the same rental unit one year ago.
The findings were based on the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey as of March 2011, as well as comparisons of the 2005-2007 and the 2008-2010 American Community Survey to provide a snapshot of every U.S. community with at least 20,000 residents. Figures on income inequality come from a census analysis of survey data from 2005-2009.

At least three dead in fire at Oakland residential building
(This March 27 story was corrected to show in headline that at least three people were killed, not two)
NEW YORK A group of men wrongfully convicted of raping a jogger in New York's Central Park in 1989 said they continued to battle feelings of injustice on Friday, a day after the city signed a $40 million settlement to end their civil rights lawsuit.
Three of the five men found guilty as teenagers of the high-profile crime, for which they served a collective four decades in prison, spoke at a news event at City Hall in the wake of the long-fought deal.
"Today's supposed to be a day of a victory of a celebration," said Raymond Santana. "But I woke up this morning still trying to put the gloves on, still wanting to fight because my childhood was taken from me."
Santana was 15 when he was convicted, along with friends Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam.
The five men, who were between 14- and 16-years-old when the high-profile crime took place, were locked up in 1990 only to have their convictions vacated in 2002 when a convicted rapist confessed to committing the crime alone.
Richardson and Salaam also attended Friday's event. Richardson, who said he planned to take the summer off from work to spend time with his family, grew emotional during the event.
"It feels great to have a voice because in '89 we didn't have one," he said, while crying. "All we wanted to tell you all was that we didn't do it."
The "Central Park Jogger" case drew national attention as a symbol of peaking violence and racial tension in New York City at the time.
The boys on trial were black or Hispanic while the victim, Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old investment banker, was white. Meili, who was raped and beaten nearly to death, has no memory of the attack.
The teenagers admitted to the crime during lengthy police interrogations but soon recanted, claiming that coercion and exhaustion led to false confessions.
Their convictions were vacated in 2002, after serial rapist and murderer, Matias Reyes, confessed to the crime and was linked to the attack through DNA testing.
By then, the men had been released from prison after serving a collective four decades behind bars and they sued the city, seeking $250 million in damages.
The settlement, which is considered to be the largest of its kind in New York's history, was expected to be finalized by a federal judge as soon as next week, the men's lawyers said.
The men said little about what they planned to do with the money. They said they would continue to work their jobs and to try to live normal lives.
They also intended to stay in the city that convicted them.
"We earned our right to be here," said Salaam. "This is the city that we love."

Medical Physiology/Basic Biochemistry/Amino Acids and Proteins
< Medical Physiology | Basic BiochemistryProteins are large molecules made from smaller building blocks called amino acids. If there are less than 10 amino acids the molecule is called a peptide; if 10 to 100 a polypeptide; and more than 100 a 'protein. There are twenty different amino acids, and the body can synthesize eleven of them. The other nine must be obtained in the diet, and are known as the essential amino acids.
Amino Acid StructureEdit
Amino acids all have the basic backbone. They all consist of a carbon atom (C) attached to a carboxyl group (-COOH), an amino group, (-NH2), a Hydrogen, and another group of atoms (R). The R group gives the amino acid its unique characteristics, and allows it to react with other amino acids in unique ways. Every amino acid starts with Methionine (Met). Met attaches to the N-terminal end (amine group). That amine group attaches to carboxylic group of the next amino acid. That carboxylic group then attaches to amine group of the next amino acid. Here is a depiction of a 'model' amino acid: amino acid is a basic unit of protein.
And here is a group of typical amino acids. Note the sulphar atom in methionine:
The Amino AcidsEdit
Below are the names of the 20 amino acids. Each amino acid has a three letter designation as well as a single letter designation. The amino acids are sorted in eight groups aliphatic, organic acid, amide, organic base, sulfur containing, alcohol containing, imine, and aromatic. Aliphatic (carbon side chains) groups consists of alanine, glycine, valine, leucine and isoleucine. The organic acid group consist of glutamic and aspartic acid. With a similar structure to the acids, the amides are aspargine and glutamine. The group of organic base consist of arginine, lysine, and histidine. Those amino acids consisting of sulfur are methionine and cysteine. Proline is the only imine. The alcohols are serine, threonine, and tyrosine (also an aromatic) and the aromatic amino acids consists of tryptophan and phenylalanine.
Amino Acid | Three Letter Abbreviation |
Single Letter Symbol |
Alanine | Ala | A |
Arginine | Arg | R |
Asparagine | Asn | N |
Asparagine or Aspartic Acid | Asx | B |
Aspartic Acid | Asp | D |
Cysteine | Cys | C |
Glutamic Acid | Glu | E |
Glutamine | Gln | Q |
Glutamine or Glutamic Acid | Glx | Z |
Glycine | Gly | G |
Histidine* | His | H |
Isoleucine* | Ile | I |
Leucine* | Leu | L |
Lysine* | Lys | K |
Methionine* | Met | M |
Phenylalanine* | Phe | F |
Proline | Pro | P |
Serine | Ser | S |
Threonine* | Thr | T |
Tryptophan* | Trp | W |
Tyrosine | Tyr | Y |
Valine* | Val | V |
Asterix [*] denotes essential amino acid.
Classification of Amino AcidsEdit
Although there are many ways to classify amino acids, these molecules can be assorted into 6 main groups, on the basis of their structure and general chemical characteristics of their R groups.
Classes of Amino Acids | Name of the Amino Acid |
Aliphatic | Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine |
Hydroxyl or Sulfur-containing |
Serine, Cysteine, Threonine, Methionine |
Cyclic | Proline |
Aromatic | Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Tryptophan |
Basic | Histidine, Lysine, Arginine |
Acidic and their amide |
Aspartate, Glutamate, Asparagine, Glutamate |
Peptide StructureEdit
When two amino acids join together the amino group of one links with the acid group of the other, with the loss of a molecule of water. Amino acids are linked by peptide bond.
Protein StructureEdit
Because of their bonding proteins will take on numerous different forms and shapes. Proteins have what is called a primary, a secondary, a tertiary, and a quaternary structure. The primary structure describes the sequencing of the amino acid. It is very useful to know the amino acid sequence of a protein. Some of the uses of knowing amino acid sequences of proteins are following: similarity among proteins, evolution of proteins, existence of repeats or modules, identify localization signals, prepare antibodies against a protein, and allow the design of DNA probes to locate a gene. The secondary structure describes the spatial arrangement of the amino acids in the chain and is usually either helical in nature, or so called beta-pleated; and the tertiary structure describes the three dimensional shape of the protein and is usually either fibrous or globular. The quaternary structure is the specific association of multiple polypeptide chains to form multisubunit complexes.
More can be found on [protein structure] at Wikipedia.
The Secondary StructureEdit
The secondary structure of amino acids consists of two major components: alpha helix and beta strands. The alpha helix consist of various hydrogen bonds to the nitrogen and oxygen components in a n + 4 matter. A looser or tighter alpha helices also exist: n + 5 or n + 3. On the other hand, beta strands do not form helices: they form sheets. Beta sheets can be displayed in two different ways: parallel and antiparallel. As the title states, the parallel beta sheets run perfectly on top of each other, whereas antiparallel beta sheets alter in their direction. Even though it may sound as the parallel are more stable, the truth is the antiparallel are more stable. The beta sheets can be seen in the following weblink[[1]]

VIDEO | 'Lihis' is gay romance between NPA rebels during Martial Law
Back in the late '80s, shortly after the EDSA revolution, several mainstream films about New People's Army rebels such as "Gabi Na, Kumander", and the biopics "Balweg, The Rebel Priest" and "Kumander Dante" enjoyed commercial success and critical acclaim.
This year, the indie scene seems to be bringing back the subject with upcoming biopics of Eman Lacaba (Tikoy Aguiluz's "Eman") and Jose Maria Sison (Sari and Kiri Dalena's "The Guerilla Is A Poet").
Like "Eman", Joel Lamangan's new film, "Lihis", is an entry to the very first Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival All-Masters Edition that will take place at SM Cinemas nationwide from September 7 to 16.
But although it also deals with NPA rebels and is set at the height of Martial Law, the film, according to Direk Joel, is actually a love story about two male comrades (played by Jake Cuenca and Joem Bascon) "at a time when intimate relationships are still considered taboo in the rebel organization".
Said to be inspired by true stories, the film is written by Ricky Lee, who swears he penned the storyline years before Hollywood produced "Brokeback Mountain".
He also collaborated with Direk Joel on "Burgos", a film about the search for Jonas Burgos, the abducted son of journalist Joe Burgos — another key anti-Marcos figure.
At over three minutes, the extended official trailer of "Lihis" gives us an idea of what the whole story is all about, with some portions set in the present as Isabelle Daza who plays a journalist tries to investigate a massacre that took place at small town 20 years ago.
More than the plot, the trailer also offers a rather generous glimpse of the passionate love scenes between the two male lead characters that are expected to be the film's highlights.
It also shows Isabelle and Lovi Poe in heated love scenes of their own with Jake and Joem, respectively, as well as key sequences with co-stars Gloria Diaz, Raquel Villavicencio, Jaime Pebanco and Tony Mabesa.

Must also be willing to ship to Canada. I am fully aware of potential customs/import fees and will pay them if the seller if from the US.

Chief Executive
Adecco Alfred Marks
THE RECRUITMENT industry is all about building relationships with people in a strong sales environment. We aim to enable clients to get through their employment peaks and troughs and we help our customers - the people who contact us in search of employment, be it temporary or permanent - to build a career through the placements we offer them. More people are seeing recruitment agencies as a route to developing a long-term career. The size of our industry and its contribution to the overall economic activity of the country are under- estimated. We are working hard to make people realise what an important part we play and include us in legislative decisions. Another thing we are aiming for is to grow as a company within an industry which is rapidly expanding but to retain the personal service we are proud of. As for people I admire, Aled Morris of Office Angels has very high business standards and is a good model in terms of his relationships with clients and temps.
Charles Walker
Communications Director
Blue Arrow
THE EMPLOYMENT industry is becoming more professional and more service- orientated. It is growing up. To shine in the industry you need to be able to demonstrate the ability to innovate and prioritise well. Ultimately, this is a people business and people respond well to enthusiasm and motivation. Traditionally, people came to work in recruitment from recruitment. Now people want to recruit people from specialisations, because that will help us to get the right fit every time. That's how you get ahead. The people I admire are those who are our stiff competition - high street agencies such as Reed and Adecco Alfred Marks. We are all competing in many of the same market places and to lead the market we have to strive to have the most attractive packet.
Christine Little
Chief Executive
Federation of Recruitment
and Employment Services
ONE OF the more dramatic changes in the industry over the years has been its move from dealing primarily in secretarial and clerical placements to specialising in all manner of niche markets. It has also become far more sophisticated in marketing techniques, client-relation building and the technology. We have to make sure we keep ahead of all these developments. Lots of people have the idea that recruitment consultants have a nice time sitting behind their desks talking about other people's careers. In fact, it is very much a sales- and marketing-orientated job. There are many people I admire, particularly in those organisations which have set up training schemes to add value for their clients. One company which has done this particularly effectively is Mayday in London which has set up the schemes and is busy helping low-skilled people and long-term unemployed back to work. I admire those companies which are trying to put something back into the market and industry.
Fintan O' Toole
Managing Director
Securicor Recruitment services
I ENJOY the mix and variety this young and dynamic industry throws up every day. It is developing so rapidly, in part because the demography of the workforce is changing - people are looking for more flexible working patterns. To excel you probably need to be resilient more than anything. A sense of humour also helps and you should also be determined to deliver quality service and lead by example. Christine Little is the very impressive chief executive of the Federation of Recruitment and Employment Services (FRES) who is helping us all to speak with a united voice in this time of impending legislative change. I'm a new boy in the industry so it's not easy to pick anyone in particular out but Charles Walker from Blue Arrow is an impressive character. He has a clear view of the issues facing the industry and doesn't shy from speaking his mind.
Grahame Caswell
Managing Director
Kelly Services
CONSOLIDATION IS the key word in the recruitment industry. We are one of the larger corporate account suppliers and so consolidation suits us. The customers are getting more sophisticated and buy more cleverly from us because they know where we should be able to reduce costs. This may make life more difficult for us but it does mean our organisation becomes more efficient. It is a cut- and-thrust business, so people who are confident, commercial, determined and who want to win tend to get ahead. I respect people and companies who have been in the business some time and who have built their business organically - Reed for example.
Sue Smith
Chief Executive
Institute of Employment
THIS INDUSTRY has experienced massive growth. This has brought with it increased professionalism and an overall raising of standards. Another change has been in specialisation. Increasingly, large companies are creating specialist divisions and small companies crop up to cover niche divisions such as education. What clients are beginning to recognise is that they need to leave selection - specialist and general - to professionals. It is expensive and time-consuming for companies to do their own recruiting and we understand the clients' needs and their language so we can respond effectively and rapidly. It works to the candidate's advantage too, because they know they have more chance of getting the job they want if they go to an agency.
To succeed in recruitment, you need good interpersonal skills and a sound knowledge of your sector and the law. I'm impressed by companies using progressive and innovative methods such as Adecco Alfred Marks which used research to find out what its clients and what its candidates want. I'm also impressed by Eden Brown which does a great deal in the public sector - it is busy forming partnerships with industry bodies. Greater co-operation and collaboration will work for everyone's benefit.
James Reed
Chief Executive
Reed Executive
THE CUSTOMER is becoming more demanding and it is our job to meet those demands as best we can, to retain our place in a very competitive market. That is what interests me and that's what I enjoy, competition. The recruitment market in the UK is the world's second-largest and it's highly fragmented, unlike France with only a few agencies. All the agencies in Britain are competing for the same people and we are trying to be the leader of all these agencies. This makes for stimulating days. The competitors I would be wary of are those spotty youths in a garage who are thinking of new ways of doing things - the Bill Gateses and Steve Jobs of the recruitment world. But the Select group, led by Tony Martin, was one of the outstanding success stories of the Nineties.

#4233 closed bug (worksforme)
Toggles/Visible/Hidden check inccorect on empty tag
Reported by: | Kilandor | Owned by: | |
Priority: | low | Milestone: | |
Component: | effects | Version: | 1.3.2 |
Keywords: | Cc: | ||
Blocked by: | Blocking: |
Description (last modified by jitter)
There is a problem with any toggle()
When a tag is empty, and you try to toggle() its state it remains hidden, and no change is made. If you perform a is.(':hidden') it will return true.
Maybe an example is best.
function editDesc() { $('#something').toggle(); $('#somethingedit').toggle(); } function submitDesc() { content = $('#somethingedit').val(); $('#somethingedit').toggle(); content = content.replace(\"\\n\",\"
\"); $('#something').html(content); $('#something').toggle(); }

 <textarea id="somethingedit"></textarea>
This is just a rough example, If you attach editDesc to a button toggle the fields (assume textarea is being hidden by css by default) nothign changes to the div, and the textarea shows up. So you submit(with a button and submitDesc attached) It updates the div, but it sitll remains hidden. But if you click the button to edit again, both the div, and the textarea will show then, and if clicked again they will hide.
Toggle should change the css of a tag regardless if it has text in the field or not, a simple or anything in the div to start fixes this problem but its lame to have to do that.
This was noticed on FF 3.0.6, WinXp Sp3. I didn't test it on any other

comment:1 Changed 7 years ago by dmethvin
- Component changed from unfilled to fx
If there is no content in an element that has no padding or border, its height/width is 0 and therefore it's hidden by the definition of :hidden. Whether that's the right behavior I am not sure; it seems to make some sense.
comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by dmethvin
- Keywords needsreview added
- Status changed from new to open
comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by iliakan
If an empty, but potentially visible element will be considered visible by jQuery, then what to do with elements which height/width = 0 ? They are also potentially visible.
It seems reasonable to document the visibility feature so that people take it's behavior into account.
comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by jitter
- Description modified (diff)
- Keywords needsreview removed
- Milestone 1.4 deleted
- Priority changed from major to low
- Resolution set to worksforme

I can't reproduce what is described in the report with this test case. Both the div and textarea are getting shown/hidden with toggle for me. And the .is(":hidden") check works too.
Replying to iliakan:
If an empty, but potentially visible element will be considered visible by jQuery, then what to do with elements which height/width = 0 ? They are also potentially visible.
It seems reasonable to document the visibility feature so that people take it's behavior into account.
I think the behavior what is considered visible and what not is well documented here already http://api.jquery.com/hidden-selector/ or did I miss your point?

There's something devilishly fun going on in the upcoming ABC drama "666 Park Avenue."
The series focuses around The Drake, a tony New York residence where seemingly anything goes – both natural and supernatural. It features former "Lost" star Terry O'Quinn as the building's owner and Vanessa Williams as his wife. The newest tenants, who are in for some big surprises, are played by Rachael Taylor and Dave Annable.
So Zappers, do you think ABC is on to something with the series? Or is the road to hell paved with good intentions? "666 Park Avenue" will air Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.

We are doing the same here, except we have lost our main income for quite some time. We are being really frugal with food,growing more, and swapping as well. I have to say like you I am so amazed at what I have been able to make do when you haven't had the ingredients. Your pizza's sound like something I'd order off a menu. Well done to you to.
ReplyDeleteThis post is so inspiring!!! I would love to know how you made the cheese, as I am so impressed that you just whipped up some cheese in such a short amount of time. It is so full-filling to be able to use what is on hand and come up with a satisfying meal that can feed and nourish our families. Thank you for being the person that you are and being such an inpiration to me and I am sure all of your other readers and followers:) Have yourself a wonderful day:)
ReplyDeleteSuch inspiration! For the last two weeks, before we came on holiday we did no groceries. Generally we try to do a shop only once every two weeks, and throughout those two weeks we try to just use what's in the cupboard. I love that your kids love that pizza! It just shows that it's nice to come up with some new and different every once and a while, using just what you've got.
On the drive home from Melburne yesterday we discussed how different our eating habits would be if we lived in town. If we could pop down to the shops on a whim. If everything was accessible all the time.
And we all agreed (even the pre teen) that it would be boring. That we would become lazy. That we would spend so much more money. And that we wouldn't eat as well as we do when we have to make do.
You are so ace Michelle. xxIt's just fantastic, this concept of using what you have to eat. I have started doing pantry-and-fridge roulette. Taste.com.au is my new best friend. Amazing what happens when you search for recipes for almost out of date steak, bacon and sour cream (best Sunday night meal ever, BTW)
So looking forward to this coming season of being able to eat out of my garden. There is something beyond satisfying (a semi-smugness) of saying "I grew that" and "I made that from scratch".Love it Michelle! All your food sounds incredibly delicious. Thanks for the link to the cheese too.
We are 1 hour from the 'shops' and this makes us put more thought into our food, use everything we have on hand and generally be more organised. Growing and making our own food just makes sense doesn't it?Our daughter (as a young adult) lived & worked on Lord Howe Island for a few years. Before she left mainland it was so easy to pull into McDonalds or order pizza, but for her it was a totally new experience to have do without the major fast food outlets on the island, and make do with what was on hand knowing that many food items would not be available until the next supply ship came in (which comes in every 2 weeks). On one of her quick trips home I was amazed to see her whip up stir fries & risotto from whatever was on hand. And to hear that she was even growing her own tomatoes and going fishing for her dinner! Yes, necessity is the mother of invention.
ReplyDeleteSmiling. I've been joking about how much silver beet we've been eating at the moment, but I don't mind a bit....everything tastes better from the garden. Growing our own herbs is particularly indulgent, being able to use them in dishes is such a luxury. Definitely with you on the eating like kings.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! I read somewhere once that despite the shortage of food iin England due to rationing in the Second World War, people emerged after this period much healthier, because they did what you did - fresh food scrounged when and where they could. There's something in that for all of us. Can't wait to meet in Canberra next week.

Free condom programs for select locations
Two free condom programs have recently launched.
In New York City there is an app for that. An app from the New York City Health Department uses GPS information from a users smartphone to let the user know where the nearest of it's 1,000 vendors are to get free condoms. The app itself is free and has been downloaded over 25,000 times.
In California there is a new program called The Condom Access Project which allows people ages 12-19 to order a free package of condoms, lubricant, and health brochures. These packages are mailed in a nondescript envelope. The program is run through the California Family Health Council and supported by the California Department of Public Health's STD Control Branch.

Brook & The Environment
With growing concern about environmental sustainability, Brook Furniture Rental takes recycling to a new level, extending the lifecycle of each piece of furniture by repairing, refurbishing, refinishing, reupholstering, and remanufacturing it to like-new showroom condition so that it can be returned to full use. Reuse is a primary goal in our ecological efforts. We believe that the furniture rental industry can be a "Green" industry due to its focus on recycling furniture. Our 5-year vision is that Brook Furniture Rental will be the "Greenest" company in the furniture rental industry.
By purchasing and renting select, high quality furniture, made from sustainable materials, Brook Furniture Rental avoids waste and minimizes overall resource usage. Choosing our rental furniture inventory is a constant ongoing research effort. We look first for furniture quality. High quality furniture lasts longer and is more readily repaired than cheaper furniture, minimizing impact to the environment over time. Strong, solid construction and "real" materials allow us to maintain each piece longer with less waste. The materials used in our furniture are extremely important.
Brook Furniture Rental is committed to using sustainable woods made of completely replenishable materials, as they require relatively little energy to produce and withstand years and decades of normal use. Natural fibers, wool, cotton, linen, and hemp, sustainable products that consume relatively little energy to produce, will comprise more of our product line-up. Organic foam in bedding and upholstery will be more widely used. Some fast growing woods and wood-like products, mango, bamboo, and cork, provide unique character and durability while assuring complete sustainability and eco-efficient production will be more available in our product lineup. Steel and aluminum always contain high percentages of post-consumer recycled material. Their extremely long life and reusability make them desirable furniture construction materials.
Brook Furniture Rental's environmental efforts extend beyond recycling furniture. We operate our distribution centers responsibly; reducing energy use through efficient product flow (reducing the number of times each furniture piece is handled), modern efficient interior lighting, and smart electrical systems that reduce consumption in areas with no active traffic. One significant environmentally friendly change is the exchange of propane powered fork lifts for electrical forklifts. Heating and cooling our distribution centers is a major concern. Brook Furniture Rental has a major study underway to determine how best to provide a healthy, comfortable working environment for our team members while saving energy. Methods to be considered include passive air induction systems, tankless water heaters, heat pumps, and solar photovoltaic energy generation.
Brook Furniture Rental is changing refinishing and cleaning and sanitizing products to be more eco-friendly. Paints, stains, and adhesives are water based, lead free, and eco-friendly. Waste, overspray, spills, and remnants, are minimized and contained. Increasingly, the materials we use for cleaning and refurbishing furniture are selected for low toxicity, zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and biodegradability.
Our preferred furniture materials change in accordance to world supply and evolving production practices. Brook Furniture Rental is constantly researching the ecological advantages of our furniture materials. We demand from our manufacturers detailed analyses of materials and processes used in manufacturing the furniture we purchase. We choose furniture made of the best materials from the best manufacturers. Materials that were recently undesirable, such as ceramic tile and cultured stone are now more widely acceptable because the industry has adopted new, energy-efficient production processes. These extremely long-lasting materials are now desirable both for their beauty and for their low ecological impact.
At Brook Furniture Rental, our objective is to partner with furniture manufacturers who are engaged in sustainable forest management initiatives and responsibly managed forests. We expect our furniture suppliers to have an energy use reduction plan, and we want to know about our furniture suppliers' efforts to recycle pallets, aluminum, and office paper. We are moving to rely upon paperless e-catalogs in our furniture purchasing and furniture rental process.
Before we retire a piece of furniture from our rental inventory at the end of its life, we inspect, refurbish, and clean and sanitize the furniture one last time. The purchaser of retired Brook furniture at our Brook Furniture Clearance Center can expect terrific looks and a long useful lifespan, in addition to the knowledge that their product has been re-cycled and reused, minimizing the impact to the environment.
Our Brook Furniture Rental customers are direct beneficiaries of the effort we put into selecting our furniture. In addition to enjoying the exceptional beauty, high quality, and long life of our furnishings, Brook Furniture Rental customers are assured of low VOC adhesives and finishes that do not adversely affect health. Brook Furniture Rental customers can be confident that they have furnished their home or office with ecologically sensitive, low-impact, recyclable furniture that is selected and maintained in accordance to Brook Furniture Rental's Sustainability Effort.
Do something good for the earth. Rent furnishings from Brook Furniture Rental.

Groove Metal
Groove metal is a subgenre of thrash metal which essentially takes the intensity and sonic qualities of thrash metal and plays it at mid tempo, only making occasional forays into fast tempo. It features heavy, strong angry vocals usually influenced by hardcore punk and sometimes death metal, deep, heavy often downtuned bass lines, tough, strong and very heavy beats, down tuned guitars playing heavy, chugging, groovy-like riffs and typical heavy metal solos.
