Are you looking for the best Medigap insurance in East Millsboro, PA? We can help you find affordable and quality Medicare Supplemental Insurance in Pennsylvania. You can either call 888-602-5343 or enter your Zip Code above and fill out the form. We will help you find the best East Millsboro, PA Medigap insurance options.Buying Medigap, or Medicare Supplemental Insurance, is the key for many people over age 65 to be able to afford to use their Medicare coverage. Medigap is a separate policy that is sold by private insurance carriers that adhere to Pennsylvania laws.
For the most part, Medigap covers co-insurance, co-payments, and even includes medical coverage if faced with an emergency when traveling outside of the United States. Older Medigap plans also covered deductibles, though those were mostly phased out in 2010. Medigap covers costs seen in Medicare Part A and Part B Plans. Medicare Advantage plans are also available though not in conjunction with Medigap benefits. Likewise, be aware that it is illegal to sell a Medigap holder Medicare Savings plans.
The reason people in East Millsboro, PA buy Medigap is to cover where an individual's money will fall short. Buying a Medigap policy will require monthly premiums in addition to Part A and Part B Plan premiums. Though, the fact is that there are still ways to save on Medigap coverage.
For one, apply for policies while in the first 6 months of your Medicare Part and Part B plan policies. During this period, guarantee issuance is extended to anyone over the age of 65 within the first six months. It means that there are no denials or increases in premiums because of pre-existing conditions, based upon past medical history, or current medical problems that spring up.
If an individual waits they may pay higher rates and fees for extending past the deadline. It is better to shop around and compare quotes and do so during the open enrollment period. The majority of Medicare Supplemental plans are standard and demarcated by letters A through N. Each plan covers benefits but have added benefits. For instance, part D covers prescriptions.
That means that while cheap Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans A through G charge higher premiums, costs that are out-of-pocket are not as expensive as for Plan K through Plan N. Those carry lower premiums and like benefits but at the trade-off of costing more at the time of service.
Employer Retiree Benefits
The next way to save money beyond following the open enrollment dates is to find out if a former or present employer has a Medigap policy of its own. In general, these will be less costly than an individual policy that you buy on your own. Though, the warning and word to the wise is to carefully consider if the company is financially stable or not.
Determining Eligibility
Whenever purchasing many types of Medicare plans, you actually cancel the old policy before instating the new policy. That is not the case where Medicare A and B are concerned. The reason, recall, is that low cost Medicare Supplemental insurance coverage is meant to fill the gaps of conventional original Medicare policies.
It requires still being covered under Medicare. The other benefit is to know when shopping around that the policies are the same whether you buy with Humana or Aetna or BlueCross BlueShield, for instance.
What is worth looking at is the reputation of the health insurance company, the quality of the coverage they offer, and the credit worthiness rating of the insurance company. The reason to look at the credit worthiness of the company offering up the insurance is to ensure that they are likely to have the money to pay out benefits and claims as agreed in the policy paperwork.
In addition to looking for insurance carriers that have an A or greater rating in the creditworthiness area, it is important to find out about the customer service and the customer satisfaction ratings of the companies you are comparing as well. It pays to have the company that pays claims within a timely manner, without a heroic effort on your part or the part of your doctors.
Otherwise, you will spend time having to contact the Pennsylvania insurance department or commissioner to file official complaints to get the claims paid within the acceptable two-month window. All of the Plan C Medigap coverage will be the same as that same plan from another insurer. Look at service quality and price. Look at comparing insurance company offerings to locate a cheap medicare supplement insurance plan in East Millsboro, PA .
You will also need to look for separate prescription drug coverage, which is designated by Medicare Part D. This will add in an additional premium in addition to other costs. The key is that the majority of people who qualify for cheap medicare supplemental insurance are 65 and older, and look for their Medigap during open enrollment.
In addition , the other requirements stipulate Medicare Part B and Part A participants are eligible. Once you choose a discount Medigap insurance it is as if it is written in stone and can not be altered.
To be eligible for cheap Medicare Supplemental insurance plans in East Millsboro, PA apply for coverage offered by insurers within your state. All policies are available in each state, though most states will have one single policy available for Medicaid plan holders.
Everyone at age 65 and older and who is also enrolled in the Medicare Parts A and B is eligible to purchase a supplemental plan. It is advisable to decide on a plan during the 6 months of open enrollment to pay the most favorable policy premiums. When comparing costs during the open enrollment, it means pre-existing conditions are not factored into the pricing for the premiums. It is the hands-down best way to save money on a Medigap Supplemental plan in East Millsboro, PA .
Always find out the Pennsylvania laws prior to shopping. They can vary a bit, though it is important to recall that the policies are uniform across states. Use online free quotes searches to find all of the options available to you. Narrow it down based upon credit worthiness of each of the insurers, along with their quality of care and their speed of paying out claims.

When thinking of St Patrick's Day in America and Irish fare, I think of corned beef, cabbage, sausage and potatoes. I love the corned beef...the cabbage unfortunately doesn't like me! But I also love this day because DD does all the cooking! I like to cook the bread though. Here are two recipes to make for the holiday. The Corned Beef recipe is my husband's "secret" method. It's very yummy.
Irish Soda Bread
4 cups flour
4 tsps baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 1/2 cups raisins (I like those little tiny ones)
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda, sugar and salt. Pour over raisins and caraway seeds in a large bowl. Mix well. Mold the dough into a loaf on a floured board. Place the loaf in a greased pan and bake for one hour, or until the bread is done.
My Irish Husband's Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe
(I told him I was only sharing his secret recipe with a couple friends!)
Corned beef brisket (buy one with the seasoning packet included)
small red or white new potatoes cubed (2-3 per person)
3 medium yellow onions cut in halves
4-6 large carrots, pared and cut into chunks
1 large head of cabbage quartered
To prepare the brisket. Take it out of its package and rinse it. Place it fat side down in a large pot on the stove. Fill pot with water to level 3 to 4 inches above the brisket. Add the seasoning packet. Take ONE onion cut it in half and put it on the brisket. Put the carrots and the potatoes on top of that. Bring it to a boil. As soon as it boils, turn the heat down low and let it simmer very low for 2-3 hours or until the potatoes are done and you can break the meat of the brisket apart with a fork.
Next add the remaining onions. Simmer till the onions are cooked.
Now here's the big secret. Remove it from the heat. Let it stand. Take another pot. Skim the scum off the top of the water and toss it. Take 8-12 cups of broth out of the meat pot and put into a second pot. Place the quartered cabbage (with the heart removed) into that pot. Top it off with additional water till the cabbage is covered. Boil until the cabbage is cooked. You know the cabbage is cooked when you can stick a fork into the thickest part and it will fall apart. This will only take about 3-5 minutes of boiling.
Skim the vegetables out of the pot with the brisket. Put into a serving bowl. Remove the cabbage, put in a separate serving bowl and top with a couple tablespoons of butter. Remove the brisket. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices diagonally across the grain. It's easiest to do if you place the brisket fat side down on the cutting board.
You can serve with assorted mustards, horse radish, brown beer, and Soda Bread.
Side note/intersting fact: While this is a traditional St. Patrick's Day dinner, it is truly an Irish American meal. They never traditionally cooked this in Ireland!

Healthy and food is a must for every baby at any stage of development. It is essential to give nutritious food to babies as the organisms are growing and need vitamins and minerals. Such food will make your baby healthy and happy.
The process of preparing homemade baby food can seem impossible and too hard for some parents. But there are lots of appliances which can simplify your life. A hand blender for baby food is one of them. It is very compact and doesn't take too much space in the kitchen, but what is the most important it will make excellent purees, soups and smoothies for your baby in seconds. Such blender is easy to use, you don't have to assemble it and it is cheaper than most of high-quality food processors. Actually, a hand blender is all you may need for making baby food, as some of the functions that are available in food processors may turn out to be unnecessary for you. Of course, the food processor can cope with the tasks as quickly as the hand blender, but it takes up more space, and not every family can find a place for it. It is also a waste of time and efforts to assemble the food processor if you need to make a puree for your baby. So, a hand blender for baby food will be very useful for every family.

But how to choose the best hand blender for baby food? There are a few main criteria.
Now the manufactures are improving with different features, especially they pay a lot of attention to design of the blender. They make it like a space ship with glittering metal and multicolored plastic housing, with streamlined and smooth lines. Astonished by such beauty you can forget about the main reason why you wanted to purchase this product, and then you may be disappointed because of functionality of a new blender. Here are a few advice you should pay attention to while choosing the best hand blender for baby food:
- Power. It is the most important feature of your new assistant. The power capacity of blenders for baby food ranges from 150 to 700 Watts. Hand blenders with the capacity of 150-220 Watts are good for blending cooked vegetables, soft fruit and for mixing smoothies. The blenders with power capacity of 600-700 W can easily cope with the grinding of hard raw vegetables and breaking ice. But you will hardly need such power capacity for making baby food.
- Number of speeds. Normally, blenders have from 2 to 5 speeds, but it is not the limit. There are blenders with 12 and even 15 speeds. With multiple speeds in the blender you can select the optimal mode of operation to prepare a particular dish and achieve the best result. Some blenders are also equipped with Turbo Mode which helps increase the speed of the appliance for a short time. For making baby purees you will need maximum 3 speeds, so there is no reason to buy expensive blenders with more speeds.
- Material. The upper part of your blender can be made both from metal and from plastic. What is better? Metal part of the immersion is usually made of stainless steel and it is very durable. Stainless steel will easily cope with hot foods and it is a big advantage. The disadvantage of metal is that is rather heavy. Plastic part of the immersion is considerably lighter and easy to clean and dry, but it is not as durable as metal and can be deformed from high temperature. Pay attention to the material of the handle. Rubberized handles are more comfortable and pleasant to hold in your hand.
- With the cord or not? Both models operate well. Blenders with the cord are not so heavy. But for some parents blenders with the built-in batteries seem more convenient. Cordless models give you an opportunity not to be constantly in the kitchen. You can take it for a picnic and make food for your baby outside. In case of power failure, you will be able to finish making food, and it is a great plus.
- Noise level. If you have a baby, you will probably want to have a quiet hand blender as a loud blender can wake up your sleeping baby, and even for you such loud "music" won't be pleasant.
- Accessories. It may not be so essential, but of course it is better to have more accessories for making different kind of food. Some baby food hand blenders come with a food processor attachment which is great for steaming food.
Now let's take a look at the best baby food hand blender reviews.

43-Year-Old Cold Case Solved
Closure for the families of two teenage girls came on Tuesday, 43 years after they went missing, when officials confirmed that their bodies were discovered in a car at the bottom of a creek in South Dakota. Pamela Jackson and Cheryl Miller were both 17 at the time of their disappearance in 1971, which has been subject to endless theories. The car was found last year when a drought caused the water level to drop and exposed the wreck, and investigators say it ran off the road on their way to a party. There was no suspected foul play or evidence of intoxication.

A melted glacier of tears have flowed and failed to cleanse a troubled mind,
Hands clasped over both ears can't dull the thundering crack of a heart cleaved in two,
Wretched thoughts ricochet in an endless whirl of confused servitude,
Regret, the unfairness of it all, slides like an avalanche down a mountain of despair.
Escape, that elusive jewel, is locked away in an impenetrable safety box,
Endurance and duty, the Siamese twins of fate are the Masters now,
Only one saving grace till the time comes to fly on wings of hope; The Secret.
A pristine white cloth is placed beneath the feet with ritualistic care,
Deep breaths of prehistoric stellar waves passing by on their infinite journey, enter through the nose,
Infusing flesh and bone with preternatural strength, eyes glazed, lips pursed in grim determination,
Hands are the weapons of choice, fingers become knives used with surgical precision.
Watching as if from an outer body experience, the first toe nail is teased away from the skin,
A ruby droplet of first blood drips in slow motion,to land and defile the clean muslin,
Shivers of masochistic pleasure curse through every nerve ending, encouraging, exciting,
Tearing, pulling, ripping the root with a final tug, exquisite, agonized pain, head thrown back.
The cleansing, purging pool of red life force joins to make an abstract creation on the cloth.
Oh sweet release,anger, rage and tension expelled through the self inflicted wound,
Heaving, tortured breaths endure the throbbing ache of deformity on the injured digit,
Peaceful calm washes away humiliation, time slows down and pleasure reigns.
Awareness returns like a punch in the gut, a tsunami of shame leaving only guilt in its wake,
Time to hide evidence, clean up the mess, think up a new excuse, apply a band aid,
A promise for the inner child to never do this again,this is the last time, honestly,
Until the next time. And there's always a next time, but hush now, its a secret.

As if the Iraq problem were not difficult enough, today Hans Blix, the head of the United Nations inspection team, will deliver his official report to the Security Council. Now the United States is firmly stuck in the ''inspections trap,'' and our French and German allies appear determined to keep us there. Paris and Berlin, along with their fellow travelers in Moscow and Beijing, are likely to seize on Mr. Blix's report to insist on delaying any military operation to enforce Iraq's disarmament.
Here is how the inspections trap plays out: the United States mobilizes for war; Saddam Hussein realizes that he's about to go down; he runs up what looks like a white flag; and the United Nations Security Council members argue that the world should ''give inspections a chance.'' It happened exactly that way in November 1998. And it's happening again now.
In 1998, after a year of Iraq's ''cheat and retreat'' antics, the Security Council had given up; the expulsion of the United Nations weapons inspectors had been the last straw. Iraq's Arab neighbors finally got up the courage to back the United States, declaring that the dictator alone would be responsible for the consequences of his actions. The United Nations condemned Iraq's noncompliance. President Bill Clinton ordered a first salvo of punitive air strikes and cruise missile attacks.
Then Saddam Hussein suddenly proclaimed that the inspectors would be allowed back into Iraq. And the United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, said inspections should be given another chance. With minutes to go before the bombs were unleashed, President Clinton suspended the strike.
Mr. Clinton subsequently defined the problem to his advisers in the following terms: First, Saddam Hussein is a liar but was also clever enough to make himself look like less of a liar. Second, the Arabs want us to hit Iraq regardless of whether he accepts inspections. But third, in order to get support for our use of force, we told our Western allies that we wanted the weapons inspectors to go back in. So, Mr. Clinton said, if we bomb we'll be fine with the Arabs but in the dock internationally, and if we don't bomb we'll lose the Arabs.Continue reading the main story
Four years later, President Bush is now confronted with similar circumstances, but the stakes are even higher. With some 150,000 troops heading to the region, and with Iraq's Arab neighbors and Turkey finally falling in with most of our requests for access to their bases, Saddam Hussein again understands that his survival is at stake. But he also believes that by feigning cooperation he can convince the Europeans to delay American military action long enough to prevent it altogether.
He has already told an Egyptian newspaper that he simply needs to play for time. To this end, Iraq seized on Mr. Blix's visit this month to announce that it will allow the inspectors to open a new field office; Iraq will produce a few more documents; it will ''encourage'' scientists to be interviewed in private rather than in the presence of Iraqi government minders; legislation will be enacted; it will even create its own inspection team to help the United Nations find its weapons of mass destruction.
If the situation weren't so serious it would be laughable. Iraq tells us it will now do its own inspections to find what it has previously hidden? So now Saddam Hussein's rubber stamp legislature can ban the development of weapons of mass destruction -- a law that the security services, under the dictator's son, will presumably then enforce. As for Iraqi scientists, the administration says it has evidence that the ''encouragement'' Iraq is using consists of threats to kill the families of any who talk.
Of course, with all this promised Iraqi ''cooperation,'' Hans Blix has already announced that he will give a more positive evaluation to the Security Council today. And France, Russia, China and Germany are not even waiting for the report. They've declared that inspections are working and should be given more time. With American public opinion polls showing that support for war drops substantially if the president does not have United Nations approval, Mr. Bush finds himself in the same position Bill Clinton faced in 1998.
President Bush cannot keep our forces in the Middle East indefinitely while Iraq constructs a disarmament trompe l'oeil. If he pulls back from war, however, it will be much harder for us to gain the cooperation of regional allies the next time we want to confront Iraq because they will not want to be caught out on a limb again. Yet if Mr. Bush presses ahead, he will have to do so without international approval and therefore with waning public support.
What's the president to do?
First, he and his spokesmen must make clear that ''cooperation'' is not the same as compliance. Iraq's mendacious 12,000-page initial declaration was proof that Saddam Hussein has no intention of taking the United Nations up on what the Security Council unanimously agreed was his last chance to avoid war. As he did throughout the 1990's, he will give us cooperation without doing anything to comply with the demands of the Security Council to give up his weapons programs. And that is the only standard that counts.
The Bush administration should put much less emphasis on the weapons inspectors' futile hunt for a ''smoking gun.'' Every inspection of an Iraqi site that finds nothing reinforces the misimpression that Iraq has complied. Moreover, as we experienced in the 1990's, every time the inspectors did find smoking-gun evidence of Iraqi cheating -- be it the information supplied by the defector Hussein Kamel al-Majid (Saddam Hussein's son-in-law), the Russian missile gyroscopes that Iraq had imported after the Persian Gulf War, or the traces of VX nerve gas on Iraqi Scud warhead fragments -- the Security Council still took no action to force Iraq to comply.
In addition, the administration should quickly share whatever intelligence it has with its allies in what Mr. Bush calls the ''coalition of the willing,'' so that these countries will understand we have good reason for using force to do what Saddam Hussein will not do and the inspectors cannot do. And it should immediately publish, even in sanitized form, the large amount of information we have already gained from earlier defections of Iraqi scientists, which was always the most valuable intelligence we could get our hands on.
Last, after Mr. Blix reports today that Iraq has not explained the yawning gaps in the November document that was supposed to have been its ''full, final and complete'' declaration, Washington should press the Security Council to give Iraq an ultimatum. It must be made to account for the thousands of tons of chemical precursors, the thousands of liters of biological warfare agents, the thousands of missing chemical munitions, the unaccounted-for Scuds missiles, and the weaponized VX poison that the United Nations has itself declared missing. If it does so, the inspectors can verify. If it does not do so, we will have a plausible justification for war.
Back in 1998, Bill Clinton called off the strikes only to call them forth again a month later, launching Operation Desert Fox after Richard Butler, then the chief United Nations inspector, reported to the Security Council that Iraq was neither cooperating nor complying. Today, with 150,000 troops flowing to the region, our regional allies much more exposed, and Hans Blix about to report Iraq's ''cooperation'' to the Security Council, President Bush does not have the same maneuvering room. And it will grow even narrower the closer we come to war because Saddam Hussein undoubtedly has more mock cooperation tricks up his sleeve designed to play to the European Union-United Nations coalition of the unwilling.
With an iron will and some skillful diplomacy, President Bush can find a way out of this inspections trap. But he must do it quickly.Continue reading the main story

Cover crops are fast growing crops such as winter rye and clovers that are planted between periods of regular crop cultivation. By covering the soil surface, they protect the soil from erosion, and if leguminous, they fix nitrogen. Later, when ploughed under, they provide humus and carbon to the soil, as well as nitrogen for the subsequent crop.
Cover cropping is an effective method of reducing emissions of CO2. These crops grow over entire land areas or in localized spots such as grassed waterways, field margins, and shelterbelts. Compared to leaving fields fallow, they reduce emissions and can sequester carbon during periods when primary crops are not grown. Cover crops are usually an option on surplus agricultural land or on cropland of marginal productivity.
Cover crops are grown all over the world. However, adoption is limited because of the many concerns of growers and the specificity of profitable cropping systems as discussed in the next section.
Lack of knowledge, incorrect choice of cover crop, and the economic costs of planting and terminating cover crops are all concerns of growers, and they have led to the slow adoption of this practice. If land is fallow for portions of the year, cover crops should be considered. However, they need to be selected on the basis of the growing season, protection capacity, nitrogen fixing capability, and economic feasibility. They vary from region to region, cropping system to cropping system, and crop season to crop season. Therefore, local research must be conducted in order to obtain the knowledge needed to use this practice reliably.
- 1. A primary advantage is that by increasing plant residues and roots, cover crops can sequester carbon during times when the soil surface would normally be bare and emitting carbon due to soil respiration.
- Cover crops can alleviate nutrient deficiencies and reduce artificial fertiliser use by nitrogen fixing, if leguminous. This will save fossil fuel used in fertiliser manufacture, although more nitrogen in the soil can increase N2O emissions.
- Cover crops reduce soil erosion as well as rainfall runoff by improving water infiltration and water adsorption in the soil matrix.
- Cover crops can also reduce use of pesticides and herbicides for the associated cash crop by suppressing weed growth and providing a substantial habitat for beneficial arthropods.
- There are costs associated with planting and terminating cover crops.
- If not terminated properly, cover crops may act like weeds and compete with the following cash crops for light, nutrients and water.
- The residues from cover crops can potentially interfere with post-emergence herbicides, which results in the escape of weeds.
- In some cases, the additional water requirement of the cover crops may make this practice economically and environmentally less viable.
Several examples have been presented showing that the growing of cover crops is profitable. In one experiment hairy vetch was grown during the off-season for a main crop of corn. The costs of fertiliser and of hairy vetch seed required for the no-till zero-tillage cover crop systems were $117.08 and $16.62 ha-1 yr-1, respectively, while the cost of fertiliser for conventional no tillage system was $174.97 ha-1 yr-1. The cover crop system produced average corn yield of 7.86 Mt ha-1 in a no-tillage conventional system. The average gross margin (profit) was $238.28 ha-1 yr-1 in cover crop system and $233.27 ha-1 yr-1 in conventional no tillage system.
Cover crops can also increase soil carbon sequestration. Lal (1998) lists carbon sequestration rates from 0.28 to 2.60 Mg ha-1 yr-1 from growing cover crops on an eroded Alfisol in western Nigeria.
There are costs associated with planting and terminating cover crops. The economic costs of planting and terminating cover crops are all concerns of growers, and they have led to the slow adoption of this practice.

Whether they be Tree Amigos, community volunteers or site coordinators, San Jose residents who have helped keep Our City Forest in the tree-planting business for 20 years are being honored on Aug. 2 for their commitment to urban forestry.
In all, about 50 residents will be feted at the "Twenty Years of Volunteers" event.
"The ones being recognized are the ones who keep coming back," says OCF CEO Rhonda Berry. "Or they're neighborhood stewards."
While the nonprofit relies on volunteers to plant and care for city trees, residents turn to Our City Forest to help save them from untimely ends. Franquette Avenue resident Catherine Lydon became an OCF volunteer last year, when a development threatened three trees in her Willow Glen neighborhood that were all large enough to be protected under a city ordinance.
Lydon and her neighbor Bobbie Wood spearheaded a campaign to save the redwood, oak and cedar trees, although Lyndon says, "It was definitely a neighborhood effort to show up to three different planning commission meetings."
Lydon marked her neighborhood's victory in a July 13, 2013, letter to the Resident, in which she also encouraged other San Joseans to take an active interest in their local street trees.
"Had we not spoken up about the significant value the mature trees add to our community, and the need for more oversight in the approval process, we would be looking at three identical homes on our historic street, with only one mature tree between them," she wrote.
Lydon credits OCF with helping her to mount a successful campaign.
"Our urban canopy is really important, and [OCF] provides the resources … to help people save trees," she says.
Other Willow Glen residents work more directly with the Our City Forest organization. Carol Arnoldy spends her Thursdays volunteering at OCF's Spring Street Nursery, while Anna Jacobs recently joined the organization's board of directors.
Jacobs began her association with OCF in 2002 as a Tree Amigo, completing a 20-hour training course that covers everything from how and where to plant trees to coaching other volunteers. Once she completed the course, she supervised two or three plantings a month for senior and disabled residents until the pace started getting to her.
"I'm going to be 45," Jacobs says. "Physical labor is a bit more difficult, so I joined the board."
The longtime volunteer says she likes that OCF's efforts are local. "Having a healthy environment is vital," she adds.
Barking for Trees
For Jim LaFrom, a healthy environment is important for both two-legged and four-legged San Jose residents. When a dog park was built at Butcher Park eight years ago, developers removed most of the trees from the site.
"Dogs weren't comfortable in the summer," LaFrom says.
He contacted San Jose's Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services department, which referred him to OCF. Staff there helped him organize a group of 18 people to plant 20 trees around the dog park's perimeter.
"It was a great experience," LaFrom recalls. "It's a very helpful organization."
And the trees?
"They're growing and doing well," LaFrom reports.
The OCF is honoring LaFrom as an Outstanding Site Coordinator. Cambrian area Tree Amigos being honored include Jan Pfiffner and the mother-daughter team of Kathy and Megan McEvers. Almaden area volunteers receiving kudos include Magesh Jayapandian, Kian Nasiri and Dave Fadness.
Rose Garden resident Nanette Smith is being recognized for coordinating a tree planting in the Midtown-Sunol area.
"Midtown-Sunol needs lots of trees, and it's exciting to see neighborhood coordinators get involved," Berry says. The CEO adds that OCF sees about 5,000 community volunteers each year.
"They're important to us because they're important to the trees," she says. "We want them to be invested by giving them a role in developing the urban forest."

After a fantastic fall in DC, on December 23 it was time to start the long journey from one home to another. Against all odds, my flight from Newark to Stockholm was on time, and also my sister made her way there from San Francisco via Chicago. Happily reunited, we hopped on the short flight to Helsinki together early in the morning of the Christmas Eve and made it to our childhood home by noon, in other words just in time for the Declaration of Christmas Peace. It is a tradition that has continued almost uninterrupted in the city of Turku since the 1320s. Since 1983, it has been broadcast on national television so that Finns around the country can join this event which in a way marks the official start of Christmas celebrations, also in our family.
In Finland, Christmas Eve is the main event of the holidays. Once the Christmas Peace is declared, the day continues with eating 'riisipuuro' (rice porridge), the Finnish version of rice pudding topped with cinnamon and sugar. Each Christmas, my mom hides a whole almond in the rice porridge, and a popular belief has it that the one who eats the almond will be in luck the following year. (A less popular belief is that the finder of the almond has to sing a song…) Guess who got the almond this time? 2014 will be a great year!
Other important Christmas Eve activities were bathing in a Christmas sauna (of course!), and having a sumptuous Christmas dinner. As Santa Claus lives so near us, he brings the presents to Finns already on the Christmas Eve, often stopping by in person although this year he was so busy that had just left the presents by the door. The Christmas Day was devoted to visiting the cemetery to leave candles on the graves, and to catching up with childhood friends as for once everyone was back in the old hoods. On Boxing Day I lured my sister and a friend of mine for a small "ham run", followed by having sauna (of course!). You can consider this a low-key version of a turkey trot! In the end, the only thing that was missing from a perfect Finnish Christmas was snow.
I was hoping the weather to be similar to the year before…
…but instead it looked like this:
Besides Christmas, the other main reason for my trip to Finland was the public examination of my sister's doctoral dissertation in the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki. Assistant Professor Lorraine Kisselburgh from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, served as the Opponent, and Professor Anna-Maija Pirttilä-Backman as the Custos (the supervising professor). The beautiful old lecture hall at the University of Helsinki Main Building from 1832 was full of audience. The youngest eye-witness was 4 years old and the oldest 90! My sister did a great job defending her work, so I could just happily sit in the audience feeling proud – instead of stepping to the stage as a dobbelgänger which was our backup plan…
In the Finnish academic world, academic traditions dating from the 17th century are taken seriously and cherished. The public examination is much more ceremonial than in many other countries. Successful defense is followed by 'karonkka', a fun post-doctoral party with food, drinks, and lots of light-hearted speeches. I have probably never been surrounded by such an army of PhDs and researchers! The actual 'karonkka' is mainly targeted for the academic community, although nowadays the closest family members get to join. Hence, the celebrations continued on the following evening with an even bigger party for friends and extended family with more food, more drinks, and great conversations. The conversation topics ranged from old teapots to start-up opportunities in the forest industry and from poverty experiences to documentary filmmaking in Northern Namibia.
Always good to have a doppelgänger on the day of public examination…
Doctoral hats of 'karonkka' guests and the woolly hat that my sister got from us to stay warm until her black hat arrives
Between Christmas and the academic celebrations, we did a roadtrip to Kesälahti (my mom's old hoods in Eastern Finland about four hours away from Porvoo) in the search of snow. There was no snow either, but it was great to get to visit my 89 and 88 year old smile wrinkle idols. There is a lot to be learnt from these two inspiring, humorous North Karelian super grandmas about how life should be lived.
Other than that, I had great time with my friends visiting some of my favorite establishments in Helsinki, like Sandro, KuuKuu, Talo, Pacifico and Siltanen. I also consumed a fair amount of fine sushi, had a 'lonkero' (a Finnish drink invented for the Olympics in 1952), ate 'rahka' (quark) with blueberries for breakfast, and drank lots of tasty tap water. I was monkeying with my four funny godchildren and their siblings, and I met two babies that had been born after I moved to DC. I went running and swimming with my dear training buddies. And during my 13-day trip, I managed to have sauna eight times in total, each time at a different place. What makes this even better, five of these saunas were wood-heated. That is pure luxury.
So what did I miss from DC? At least biking, and my own bed. And sunshine! Not only is the daylight in general limited to five hours or so in Southern Finland around the winter solstice, but even during those five hours sunshine is a rarity. During my trip, there was about five minutes of sunshine on December 25, and another seven minutes on January 5. Despite with the frigid air brought to the US by the polar vortex, three sunny days in a row after getting back made DC feel like San Andrés.

Pat Kelleher
Luke Kelly became my big inspiration as a folk singer and still is to this day.
In 1980, I met with another young folk singer at a Comhltas Ceolteori session in a local pub with similar interests. We founded a folk group called Cruiscin Lan. His name was Dan O'Sullivan from west Cork and also my brother Tim joined up to form a trio. At this stage I was playing guitar as was Dan and my brother on five-string banjo. Dan soon persuaded shy me to start singing which I did and never looked back. We played pubs and hotel bars throughout Munster and even further a field.
I left the group in 1987 to pursue a solo career. I have since performed mainly in Cork and Kerry and have met some great musicians and befriended many people from all corners of the globe.
My main influences in the folk scene would be Luke Kelly of The Dubliners, Tommy Makem particularly as a song writer, The Clancy s, Christy Moore and Pete Seeger and in recent times my great friend Bobby Clancy. I also have a great interest in the five-string banjo, all styles but clawhammer/frailing is my favourite. Collecting fine banjos is also hobby of mine. My main aim is to keep the folk tradition alive and keep singing all the old songs and also the new ones.

Written by: Peter Alegi
Primary Source: Football is Coming Home
Watch this great 20-minute documentary film on the tension and violence that accompanied the memorable Algeria-Egypt 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
Lots of rare footage captures the perspectives and experiences of the Algerian players and officials in both Cairo and Khartoum. Watch as the mainly France-based Les Fennecs players channel fear, insecurity, and rage into a memorable playoff victory and World Cup qualification. The scenes of joyous celebration among the traveling fans and players in Sudan, as well as the partying in the streets of Algiers are something to behold.
The film provides glimpses of both sides of the fútbol-nationalism coin. On the one hand, the Egyptian hooligans' love of country expresses itself through hatred of the Algerian "other" and spills over into the vicious attacks on the visiting team's bus depicted in the film. On the other hand, the Algerians' patriotic unity propels them to victory against their rivals. Raw and riveting stuff.
