You Ask, I Answer: Unsulfured Dried Fruit
Today at the supermarket I saw dried fruit that had "unsulfured" written on the packaging.
Is that a healthier choice?
— Lindsay Kleiner
Chicago, IL
Sulfur dioxide is a much-loved additive by the food industry since it does three things very well:
- It prevents natural enzymatic processes (ie: the reason why apple slices turn brown when exposed to air) from happening
- It makes bacterial growth on food almost impossible
- It severely delays spoilage
It does what is the most beautiful of all music to food companies: EXTENDS SHELF LIFE!
Is sulfur dioxide harmful? It depends on context.
If you worked in a factory alongside vats of sulfur dioxide and decided to take a whiff from one, then, yes, you would be in severe trouble (and most likely dead by the time an ambulance arrived).
That, of course, is an extreme example, and one that could be applied to many foods we safely consume on a daily basis (the 200 or so milligrams of caffeine in two cups of coffee is of no concern, but if you are injected with 50,000 milligrams of caffeine intravenously, it's a very different story).
The amount of sulfur dioxide in dried fruit is too insignificant to have any impact on human health. It would only be an issue if you consumed ridiculously — and implausibly — high amounts of dried fruit on a daily basis for several years.
That said, there are three significant reasons why people seek out unsulfured dried fruit.
First, many consumers choose to avoid foods that contain additives (for instance, to support organics).
Number two? Taste! Some people are sensitive to an off-flavor that can be characteristic of fruits that contain sulfur dioxide.
Then there's the paramount issue that resulted in the mandatory labeling of sulfured — and unsulfured — products: allergies.
People who are allergic to sulfur dioxide have absolutely horrible respiratory reactions when exposed to even the tiniest of amounts. In the 1980s there were actually a few deaths as a result of individuals allergic to sulfur dioxide consuming unlabeled products that contained the additive.
As a result, starting in 1987, food products that contained sulfur dioxide at levels of at least 10 parts per million must list it on the ingredient list (where it is usually listed as "to preserve freshness").
I'm personally a huge fan of unsulfured dried fruit. I find it tastes better. Besides, I don't mind if my dried fruit isn't super shiny and colorful.
The more important thing to keep in mind when buying dried fruit is to avoid varieties with added sugars, artificial colors, and partially hydrogenated oils!

"Mother's Day" is the twenty-first episode from Season 2 of Modern Family, it aired on May 4, 2011.
Plot Summary
Gloria and Claire take the kids on a hike for Mother's Day where Gloria upsets Manny. Phil and Jay spend the day cooking. Meanwhile, Cam is upset that everyone (and Mitchell) sees him as the 'wife' and their partnership.
Episode Description
It's Mother's Day and Claire had every intention of keeping (and using) every item the kids made her for Mother's Day, such as the white t-shirt with the painted hand prints over the breasts (which Haley made in kindergarten), the hat with 'Alex's Mommy' on it, and the coffee cup Luke made for her, which she discovered the hard way was actually a pencil holder. Manny insisted Jay give Gloria his present first and instantly regretted it, since Jay got her a diamond necklace. Manny was feeling very weak about giving her a necklace made of Froot Loops, even though she adored it and Jay tried to cover by saying his diamond necklace wasn't made of real diamonds. Which made Manny feel even more guilty, because he used generic Froot Loops. And Mitchell decided today would be Cameron's day. Cameron was offended by that, since he thought it meant he was not manly enough. Although Mitchell later reassures Cameron being like a mom is okay.
CAMERON: You think of me as Lily's mother! I'm your wife! I'm a woman!
Mitchell tried to deny it, but complaining about "the wife" to co-workers or "Mrs. Pritchett" to Claire really didn't help. Cameron tossed him out. But Cam kept it up and Mitchell called him on it, as the big crime he committed was making Cam fluffy pancakes.
Phil lets us know Claire and Gloria took the kids on a hike, as Claire always tells him to take one when he asks her what she wants for Mother's Day. Jay and he will be at home preparing a huge feast for everybody. But dealing with Phil is easier than dealing with a bunch of kids who don't want to go on a hike and let you know about it. Nor is it tougher than dealing with Cameron meeting all the other couples with their kids and being included in the picture of the moms with their kids. Cameron snarls in the picture, and Gloria and Claire ditch the kids for whining too much and finish the hike on their own.
Jay isn't appreciating Phil's onion goggles or his Julia Child impersonations. Then Phil makes himself even less endearing by finding and reading a little card he found in the recipe book Jay's mother left him. ("The Recipe for the Perfect Mom," by Jay Francis Pritchett, age 9) Phil kept reading the ingredients for the perfect Mom, and Jay got eerily silent.
PHIL: And then I saw it. He was crying.
Phil was upset with himself for shaming the proud lion so he tried hugging the proud lion. Jay was not receptive, as you may have guessed, and still insisted it was the onions.
Claire and Gloria get to a vantage point, and Claire gets very real all of a sudden, contemplating what it might be like to hit one of her kids. Gloria was not happy with where Claire's mind was going and claimed she would never contemplate hitting Manny, no matter how much he may annoy her sometimes. But Claire kept pressing her until Gloria admitted Manny was persnickety. And he follows her around too much. And the poetry was awful. She shouted to the canyon she wanted Manny to be a real boy, go outside, kick a soccer ball, steal something. It felt good to say it...to her. Not to Manny, who followed them on their trip and was not happy, to say the least. Gloria can't apologize, and it turns out her kids won't apologize. Haley and Alex figured out Claire's little game of taking them somewhere they didn't want to be, just so they'd complain about it, feel guilty and apologize, and give her choice the next time.
Cameron was still ticked about being offered a bouquet of flowers (which he accepted anyway), but Mitchell preached patience, as other parents still didn't know how to delineate Cam and Mitch's relationship. And when a couple of kids asks him if Cam could throw a ball (back to them), he takes offense and throws it, only to bean an old man on a bicycle 50 yards in the slot. And Cameron's maternal instincts kicked in.
Gloria was in full damage-control mode, trying to apologize to Manny, but he wasn't having it. Claire tried to intervene, telling Manny he needed to grow a bit and take the occasional criticism so he could grow and not be coddled. Manny accepted it...until Gloria blabbed about Claire wanting to hit her kids. And Gloria thinks Manny is the perfect kid who writes beautiful poetry. And Claire gets no love from her kids, either.
At the house, Mitchell shows Cameron a Mother's Day card, which he promptly rips to shreds...so Mitchell will have to buy Gloria another one. But Mitch doesn't think what Cam does makes him less of a man. Although the scotch he's drinking won't fool anybody, either. Phil lets it slip Jay cried when he saw the poem for his mother, and the family confronted him on it. He was upset, but Manny asked if Jay missed his mom.
JAY: Of course I miss her. She was a great lady, and she left me this fantastic recipe for sauce. One time, I had this Little League coach, and he was laying into me about something. I don't remember, but Mom comes charging out of the stands and goes up to the guy, I mean face-to-face...nose-to-nose, and she says "Nobody...and I mean NOBODY...yells at my little...boy..."
And Jay breaks down crying before he can finish the story. Gloria, Cam, and Phil go to hug him, while Haley, Alex, and Luke apologize to Claire and hug her. Mitchell's good, but thanks for asking, Manny.

So how does an NHL GM pull off a trade on trade deadline day?
First, the organization must decide if it's a buyer or a seller and establish the price it wants for its assets or that it's willing to spend for new assets.
In the case of the Maple Leafs, GM Dave Nonis might have been predisposed to being a seller at the beginning of the season, but the way things turned out — the team seemingly ensconced in a playoff spot — changed his mindset.
"We could have moved players for draft picks," said Nonis. "Good players. And probably would have gotten fairly good prices for them when you look at the free-agent market. We made a decision early on that wasn't something we had any interest in doing. If we were going to do anything we were going to try to add to the group and put some more pieces of the puzzle on the table.
"The message to the team is we're happy with their play. They've worked hard and put themselves in a good position. It wasn't about getting draft picks for UFAs, it was about trying to keep the group together."
So with Tyler Bozak and Clarke MacArthur safe — they are the team's two highest profile pending UFAs — Nonis set his eyes on addition rather than subtraction. His pursuit of both Roberto Luongo and Miikka Kiprusoff are well documented, but his interest in Ryan O'Byrne was less so.
Turns out, NHL GMs target players at the trade deadline the same way fantasy players in keeper pools do — target a guy who doesn't have a future with his current team (an unrestricted free agent) and make a lowball offer in the hopes the other guy thinks getting something is better than nothing.
That's just what Nonis did in prying O'Byrne from the Colorado Avalanche at the cost of a fourth-round pick in 2014.
"We asked about Ryan two weeks ago," said Nonis. "You look at the number of players on the free-agent list. The price tag we had early was not to our liking. As time went on it became something we're comfortable with."
There were other deals for defencemen and forwards the Leafs were interested in, but one of the reasons they couldn't pull another deal off was simply how long it took for the prices of the sellers to come down.
"Yeah, (we were close on) a couple," said Nonis. "A couple that were draft picks for players that could have possibly stepped into our lineup and given us depth down the middle. That's the area we were looking at. We were close on a few things.
"Not really till late in the day when the logjam breaks and you see some things happen and prices come to the point where they're reasonable. There wasn't a lot we had to consider. Just a few."
And as it turns out, his prospects with the Marlies were safe.
"We would have done that (traded a Marlie) if wasn't a rental," said Nonis. "If it was a Marlies player we think has a long-term future with us, we would have wanted someone who is going to have some more impact and term coming this way. We weren't going to move Carter Ashton for a rental player, that wasn't an option for us."
Of course, Leaf Nation knows that all that really matters after the trade deadline is how affect the Leafs.
And even if the Leafs did nothing, they came out well ahead with the departures of Jason Pominville and Marian Gaborik to the Western Conference.
Pominville, the former Sabres captain, was a Leaf-killer. He had 18 goals and 30 assists in 50 career games against Toronto.
Gaborik, too, feasted on Toronto, with 11 goals and nine assists in a mere 16 games.
Nonis — like many — believes the real power in the East rests in Pittsburgh.
"It wasn't (a trade deadline) where you see the balance of power shift," said Nonis. "That happened two weeks ago when Pittsburgh made their trades. That's a very strong club who added some very good pieces to put themselves in a position to go a long way.
Everybody focused on small improvements. In some cases they focused on long-term improvements. Look at what the Rangers did. They added some pieces that will help them for a long period of time. In terms of a major shift of power, I don't think that took place."
As for the Penguins, picking up Jarome Iginla, Douglas Murray and Brenden Morrow, Nonis is impressed.
"They added some pretty good players. I know they're not 25 anymore, but those are some very good players. They're playoff hardened and leaders. A lot of good qualities to pieces they added. They're a lot better. Not that they weren't great before. They're a good team."
Even though the Leafs didn't play for four days before their game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Randy Carlyle didn't give his players any slack during their three days of practice. He worked them extremely hard.
"Some players deem it to be torture. But it's not," said Carlyle. "We have a program that we have in place. And it's our responsibility as a coaching staff to make sure we're one of the top conditioning teams in the league.
"We think that some of the things we do has to be done. It's part of the life you have to live if you want to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"It's back to an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. That's our mentality. When you have a three-day break there are a lot of things that take place off the ice as well. They spent a tremendous amount of time in the gym. We have to make sure that we're as sharp and as fit as we possibly can for this last stretch here. We have no complaints with the work ethic and commitment that this group has brought to the table day in and day out."
Earlier this week, Carlyle also made goalies James Reimer and Ben Scrivens do wind sprints across the ice surface at the MasterCard Centre along with the rest of their teammates.
"They were trying to hide. Everybody else was on the boards, and they were standing in the crease, so I didn't really like that, so I moved them to centre so everybody could watch them skate," Carlyle said.
Saturday, at New Jersey: A victory over the Devils will give the Leafs some additional breathing room as they try to secure their first playoff spot in eight seasons. The Leafs beat the Devils 4-2 last month but goalie Martin Brodeur was still sidelined and he's always had some great games against Toronto. The Devils still have a shot at sixth place, and avoiding either Pittsburgh or Montreal in the first round.
Monday, against New York Rangers: This is the first game of a crucial back-to-back series against a team many picked as a Stanley Cup contender, but one that used to trade deadline to tweak itself. Toronto victories could mean the Leafs won't have to worry about the boys from Manhattan knocking them out of the playoffs.
Wednesday at New York Rangers: This could be a must-win for the Rangers especially if the Leafs have already beaten them at the Air Canada Centre earlier in the week. The season is slipping fast away for the Broadway Blueshirts, and they absolutely can't afford to lose to Toronto at home. The Rangers beat the Leafs 5-2 at Madison Square Garden in the first game between the two clubs this season.
1. How much of a difference will newly acquired defenceman Ryan O'Byrne have?
2. Will James Reimer continue to provide solid goaltending without the distraction of Roberto Luongo or Miikka Kiprusoff hanging over his head?
3. Is James van Riemsdyk showing any signs that he's about to break out of his slump?
4. Dion Phaneuf has been playing some of his best hockey of his Leaf career. Will he continue to do so?
5. The Leafs penalty killing has been a big reason why they're closing in on their first playoff spot in eight seasons. Can they keep it up?
THE PROSPECT: Tom Nilsson
The Leafs hope defenceman Tom Nilsson cracks Sweden's lineup for the world hockey championships, but if he doesn't there's a good chance he'll be playing for Dallas Eakins in the AHL playoffs with the Toronto Marlies.
"He's a puck-moving defenceman with a snarl," said Jim Hughes, the Leafs director of player personnel. "He's got skill, and he's got sandpaper and nastiness to his game."
A fourth round 2011 draft pick (100th overall) out of Mora IK of Sweden's second division, Hughes says Nilsson, 19, has been a big surprise.
"He's developing faster than anybody thought he would," Hughes said. "He's got all kinds of upside. He's a smart, intelligent player. He's probably not going to be a power play guy, but he'll be on the penalty kill.
"He's strong with the puck. He's a battler. He's a thick, solid kid with some skill to back it up his nastiness. When we drafted him we knew there was some material there but he's surprised us. He continues to take his game to new levels."
The 6-foot, 180-pound right-handed shooting defenceman elevated his game during this year's world junior championship. Hughes said.
"They had him on the ice in the last minute of the bronze medal game. Make no mistake, he had a fantastic world juniors tournament," Hughes said. "He's going to play a couple of games for the national team in a pre-tournament to see if he can make the big team. But just getting asked to play is a big honour for him.
"If he doesn't play in the world championships then he'll probably be with the Marlies. Either way, he's moving in the right direction and getting great experience along the way. He's a very motivated kid, who wants to become better."
THE EX-LEAF: John Pohl
If there is a fairy tale ending in life after the Toronto Maple Leafs, then John Pohl is well on his way to living it.
Pohl is now, at age 33, a business teacher, happily married to former U.S. National Women's hockey team star Krissy Wendell, and the father of three daughters.
He gets up every weekday, tightens his tie, kisses his wife and kids goodbye, and heads to his teaching job at Cretin-Derham Hall High School, a Catholic school in St. Paul Minnesota.
It was never an easy decision to give up hockey and move on to an urban, professional life with kids, house, and a nine-to-five job. For Pohl, though, it was the right decision.
"My last game was with Chicago three years ago," said Pohl, who played in parts of three seasons for the Leafs during the Paul Maurice coaching years, before heading to Sweden for two seasons, then finishing with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.
"At Christmas of that year (2009), I met with a teacher at a Catholic school (in St. Paul), and I asked him if I needed a licence to teach. He told me I didn't need one, but that I'd only be able to teach business, so I told my parents and then I talked to my wife ..."
"We'd had our second child in the playoffs that year, so I told myself, you have two kids and why not at least look at this teaching job, and see what happens. So I talked to my parents again and my dad (Jim) told me there was this high school (Cretin-Derham), that needed a teacher, and by luck, they needed a teacher in their business department.
"It was June 4th (2010) and I got my resume together right away and took it in the next day, and in a couple of days later I had the job. I was so lucky because I didn't have a licence, and there's probably only about four or five schools in (Minneapolis-St. Paul) where you can teach like that."
Pohl looked back at his hockey life, but not for long. What he saw was a pro hockey player at a crossroads. A draft pick of the Blues in 1998 (255th overall), he battled for everything he got out of the NHL, After two solid seasons with the Blues AHL farm team in Worcester, Mass., he appeared in one game for the Blues. Maurice knew him well, though, and brought him over the Leafs, where Pohl got into 114 games over three seasons.
His biggest season came in 2006-07 when he played in 74 games, with 13 goals and 16 assists. Two years later he was playing in Sweden, then in Chicago for one final season of pro hockey.
Pohl still embraced the game in Chicago, but his brother Tom suffered a tragic accident that prompted him to put his life in perspective. He was 30 years old with two daughters at home. His brother was checked into the boards and his helmet fell off. His unprotected head struck the dasher board, then struck the ice as he collapsed.
Tom Pohl was taken off the ice on a stretcher, and rushed to hospital. He underwent emergency brain surgery that fortunately saved his life.
"I was out of the NHL by the time that teaching job came up, and playing in Chicago. I started to look at things seriously, and one of the big things was my brother's accident," said Pohl, who was having a beer with his brother Tom when he gave this interview.
"My brother had brain surgery and he almost died. I'd had my last year in Toronto a couple of years before that but there was still so much change in my life, I was always grinding it out, not having a contract, do you have it one year, will you have it the next. I'd have to move my family all over the place, God knows where, so when I thought about it, it was time to move on from that."
"I remembered the day I accepted the job, the principal called me and later we (Pohl and his wife) went out to dinner and it felt like such a relief. Some guys are crushed when the end comes, but for me, I'm home for Christmas now for the first time since I was a kid, I felt like it was the right thing for me.
"My dad (Jim) was a teacher and he always seemed content in life, he was around us as a family and we were three brothers," Pohl added.
"I'm home on weekends now, and I see my kids growing up. I make enough money to get by. And this may sound, I don't know, cliche or something, but being a part of a Catholic school, I feel like I'm part of a community, something bigger than myself. It was good for me to be part of something like that and not constantly worry about a contract, the money, where I'd play and all that kind of thing."
So, Pohl hung 'em up.
He went back to school and earned his Master's Degree in Education. A third daughter, Lucy, came along, to join Emily, 4, and Anna, 2 (Lucy just celebrated her first birthday).
Pohl took to teaching immediately. While he hasn't had an apple left on his desk, one of his students did give him a gift certificate to a restaurant.
"I think one of the best things is you do get to make a difference in the (student's) lives, and even if not, you might make a difference even for one day, and that is important," Pohl said.
"My wife tells me it's the best thing ever for me, and she saw me frustrated about hockey, about being out of the lineup and stuff like that."
Pohl says he's played in a few charity games back in St. Paul since leaving pro hockey. His biggest connection to the game, now that he's 33 and a father-teacher, is coaching the girl's hockey team at his school.
"Coaching is awesome, we have three daughters now so it's a good glimpse into what life might be in the future for us," Pohl said.
"Krissy stays at home and looks after the kids, but she loves the assistant coach thing, she looks at coaching as an escape because she has her hands full at home. But we just kinda feel lucky for the way things have turned out."
Maybe you've seen this already, maybe you haven't. Cats playing Pat-a-cake.
THE VIEW FROM THE WEST: Columbus Blue Jackets
What is happening with the Columbus Blue Jackets?
"As this most improbable season has moved along, the Blue Jackets have rewritten the record books with winning streaks and points streaks and laid waste to some of their ignominious claims piled up through seasons of losing," writes Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch.
Marian Gaborik shows up in a stunner of a trade with the New York Rangers — the Jax were buyers! — and scores the winning goal in his debut with his new team.
"I'm glad to have the first game under my belt," Gaborik said. "It was a great win. I'm glad to be a part of this."
Gaborik was on a line with two fellow former Rangers teammates, centre Artem Anisimov and right winger Vinny Prospal.
April 6, 2011: Tyler Bozak became the second player in franchise history to register a three-on-five short-handed goal when he scored in New Jersey against Martin Brodeur. Prior to Bozak, Darryl Sittler was the only other Maple Leaf to accomplish the feat when he did so on March 19, 1980 against the Winnipeg Jets at Maple Leaf Gardens.
April 9, 1932: Ace Bailey's winner versus the New York Rangers brings Leafs their first Stanley Cup. The series marked the debut of the Leafs famed "Kid Line" of Harvey "Busher" Jackson, Joe Primeau, and Charlie Conacher. The trio combined for eight goals in the three-game sweep. "Leafs win three straight and capture Stanley Cup," read the Toronto Star headline of the day. "No team you ever saw would have beaten those Leafs," wrote the legendary Lou Marsh, who wondered (sarcastically) how ownership would feel about the loss of the revenue of two home games after the sweep. The Stanley Cup story, by the way, was on Page 10. Yes, Page 10. Wonder where it would be today.
April 9, 1963: Dick Duff scores fastest two goals from start of a playoff game (68 seconds) in first game of Stanley Cup Final versus Red Wings, 4-2 win for Leafs.
The Road Trip. New York. There are times I wish I could go all Hunter S. Thompson and cover a Leafs-Rangers game from a Broadway show. Not that there is anything wrong with a Leafs-Rangers game in Madison Square Garden. It is probably my favourite venue in which to cover a game, largely because the press box is in the lower bowl and the view is astounding, the game altogether different from the media's usual perch 200 feet up over the ice. After the game, grab a slice of pizza. Any pizza, anywhere on the streets of New York. There is no better pizza in the world.

The Importance Of Being Politically Correct - Ta-Nehisi Coates:
"Liberal Tolerance is the long war, it's the long game. It's Barack Obama, at his core. Liberal tolerance--not Jesse Helms--argued for interracial unions. Liberal tolerance is what allowed Obama to neutralize Rev. Wright, and make his race speech. Liberal tolerance is what allowed him to go to Notre Dame and talk with empathy about abortion. Liberal tolerance bets on the future. It presages that world (the world of today) that the GOP has spent very little time preparing for.
Below is a video of Tom Tancredo claiming that La Raza is the Latino KKK. But Tom Tancredo knows very little about Latinos, La Raza or the KKK. He is the embodiment of conservative ignorance. He is the apex of Schiavo, 'white hands,' creationist museums, and, presently, the notion that the thrice-married should carry the banner for marriage."

I wouldn't mind a cardy and hat like this, especially now! Isn't it lovely with the fairisle and the little pompom zip? A few moth holes to deal with, but luckily none too hard to fix.
There's also a rather fetching red felt coat
A pretty pale green dress and bonnet - demonstrating my rubbish ironing..
and a lovely nightie with matching dressing gown. This was the outfit of choice for 'big baby' when my 5 year old got back from school.
I added my own little jumper creation to the clothes bundle - made from the bottom ends of last week's Jumble Sale scarf.
Thankfully very quick to do, just a few seams, so no hanging about. And apart from skidding up and down the lane on the school run, this was the only other time I ventured outside today...
The shortest photo shoot ever.

Welcome Alisha + ARLS Update with brandnew SFX
Hello Fictory Fans and Friends!
I was just brought on by the Fictory to do one very important and so far neglected job… keep you all informed! The team at Fictory has a lot of exciting projects going on, and they are hard at work. Sometimes, they get so busy 'doing' these incredible, fan-driven projects they aren't 'showing' their progress. That's what I'm here for! I've been granted access to all the creative team members of the Fictory and all of the projects in the pipes to bring updates, sneak previews, and maybe even hand out a couple sweet prizes. Check in with us weekly to catch up on the latest news!
Our first Fictory team update is, of course, in regards to Atomic Robo. If you don't know, Atomic Robo is an animated short based on a popular graphic novel. The Fictory planned a small indy project and ran a super successful Kickstarter campaign to fund it. The fans of Atomic Robo came through so overwhelmingly that the initial plan had to be scrapped. The amount of support demanded a much higher quality project and well… they got ambitious. They brought in a larger production team of really talented individuals to bring their skills to the project. As the scope of the project grew, the team and the production timeline grew as well.
Now all that work is paying off, and the Fictory is proud to announce the final stages of production! As of right now, the team is putting together the credits with the names of each and every one of the Kickstarter donors. As soon as the DVDs are pressed, the remaining rewards will be shipped out complete with every part.
Our sneak preview this week is from Atomic Robo- One of the areas the team chose to really bring in the best was in the sound quality of the short. They worked with Joe Fitzgerald previously on American Terror: Company Man and hired him back into the studio for this short. Listen to a sneak preview of the audio and check out his contributions! Sorry, only Kickstarter backers can USE THIS LINK TO WATCH for now!
Just In case you missed it the first time around, check out American Terror too!

The 'Democrat Cup' - 90 years old this year
The second most important cup in the Donegal GAA calendar is 90 years old this year and the battle to get possession of it begins on Sunday next.
The Democrat Cup, presented to the winners of the All County League Division One, was first presented by the proprietors of the Donegal Democrat to the Donegal Co. Board in 1926.
The Donegal Democrat of Friday, April 23rd, 1926 recorded the following:
"On Sunday evening last a meeting representative of Gaelic clubs of County Donegal and a number of members of the County Board GAA was held in The Mall Hotel, Mr. Cassidy, NT, Ardara (Chairman Donegal County Board GAA) presiding. Also present: Messrs McDyre, NT (Ardara), Logue (Donegal), Dawson, Co. Secretary, GAA (Letterkenny), J J Norton, JJ Woods, Seumas McFadden, Bro. Cassin, T Donaghue (Ballyshannon), McGlynn (Letterkenny Geraldines), Flynn (Letterkenny).
"Mr. Cassidy said that as they were all aware, the proprietors of the 'Donegal Democrat' newspaper had very kindly presented a Cup to the County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association for football competition in the county.
"Mr. C A Stephens, who represented the 'Democrat' said the management of the paper were offering the Cup for competition with a view to keeping Gaelic football alive in Donegal during the summer months. To his mind it was a mistake to have a Cup won outright and he thought a club who won a Cup should be satisfied to retain the trophy for a period and have the name of the club inscribed on the Cup. Otherwise, what usually happened was that if a Club which won a Cup for a season was unable to field a team the following season the Cup became private property, and that was the last heard of it."
At a subsequent Co Board meeting the Democrat Cup competition was put adopted and entries sought. Indeed, an advertisement appeared in the Donegal Democrat seeking entries with a deadline of 4.30 p.m. on Sunday, 23rd May, prior to a Co. Board meeting in the Butt Hall, Ballybofey.
The entry fee for each club to take part in the competition was 2/6.
At that Co. Board meeting in the Butt Hall, the following regulations were made for the competition:
1 - The rules drawn up by the 'Donegal Democrat' were accepted.
2 - The competition is subject to GAA laws.
3 - The travelling team to get two thirds of the gate - the home team to get one third, and bear all expenses.
4 - The 'final' gate to go to the County Board, who shall give a set of medals with the cup to the winners.
The following draws and fixtures were made:
Section 1 (North-East)
Clonleigh v Castlefin St. Mary's at Clonleigh, June 13th
Castlefin Emmets v Letterkenny Rovers at Castlefin, June 13th
St. Patrick's, Derry v Carrigans, at Brandywell Grounds, Derry, June 13th.
Second round
Ballybofey v Castlefin Emmets or Rovers
Clonleigh or St. Mary's, Castlefin v Derry or Carrigans.
Semi-final between winners of second round.
Section II (South and South-West)
Finner A v Ardara at Bundoran, June 6th. Referee, Rev E O'Harte, CF
Ballyshannon v Glenties at Glenties, June 13th. Referee Sean Cassidy, Esq., Ardara.
Finner B - a bye
Second round
Finner B v Ardara or Finner A
Ballyshannon or Glenties v winners of second round. Final to be fixed
The first games played appear to between Ballyshannon and Glenties and Castlefin and Letterkenny Rovers on 13th June with Ballyshannon defeating Glenties 5-2 to 1-1 in a game played at The Curragh, while Castlefin Emmets defeated Letterkenny Rovers 0-5 to 0-2.
It seems that St. Mary's, Castlefin, had a walkover against Clonleigh, and St. Pat's had a narrow win over Carrigans.
But after these games were completed, Letterkenny Geraldines, Buncrana and Bundoran were permitted to enter the competition and the following additional draws were made: Geraldines v Buncrana; Bundoran v Finner B.
There were the usual objections and the Castlefin-Letterkenny Rovers game was refixed and then ended in a draw, 0-2 each before Castlefin won the third game 0-7 to 0-6. Buncrana defeated Geraldines 2-2 to 1-2. In the second round Castlefin Emmetts defeated Ballybofey while Buncrana defeated St. Pat's, Derry.
In the South/South-West, Finner A defeated Ballyshannon to reach the final while Castlefin Emmetts prevailed in the North/North West.
The final, played in Ballybofey, on Sunday, 31 October, 1926 between Finner and Castlefin with the Army side coming out on top 3-3 to 0-3. A report in the Derry People said that the game played was only a challenge as 'Castlefin failed to turn up at the appointed time' and that Finner were awarded the game.
The Donegal Democrat just reported that the final had taken place with a short summary. Finner led by 3-1 to 0-2 at half-time.
Like many games of the time and in many years to follow, there was a sequel story. Finner went home with the Democrat Cup but they did not receive the medals that were to accompany them.
Correspondence to a County Board meeting the following February, 1927, was revealing:
"A letter was read (from Finner) claiming a set of medals stated to be offered to the winners of the 'Democrat Cup' (were not received).
"Mr Curran said his recollection was that the Co. Committee offered medals but not expenses for this competition. The Finner team had received their expenses and could not reasonably expect medals as well.
"It was decided to inform Finner to this effect."
After Finner, Cúil na gCuirdín did a two in-a-row in 1927 and 1928, while Gaoth Dobhair won it four years in-a-row from 1936 to 1939.
The original Democrat Cup was last won by Sean MacCumhaill's in 1963-'64. It was then replaced by the Golden Grill Cup with the Democrat Cup presented to the Division Two winners, before a new Democrat Cup was presented in 1984.Kilcar were the first winners of the new cup in 1984.
Over the years the Cup has travelled to most areas of the county with St. Michael's getting their hands on the trophy for a first ever time last year. The only area which has not won the competition is Inishowen.

If you can't squeeze a tropical getaway into your schedule this winter, then check out fast food restaurant Pollo Tropical, which is my go-to lunch spot multiple times a week. Founded by two Miami brothers in 1988, the chain is most prevalent in Florida but also has locations in Georgia, Puerto Rico, Central America, and South America.
The chain has gone through some growing pains, announcing in April 2017 that it would close 30 restaurants and relaunch its brand later in the year, according to Dallas Business Journal.
But it remains a popular lunch spot in South Florida thanks to its juicy chicken and Carribbean flavors. Keep scrolling to see what it's like to dine at Pollo Tropical.
As anyone who has taken Spanish 101 can tell by its name, Pollo Tropical is all about the chicken. They start with fresh, never-frozen, bone-in chicken; marinate it in fruit juices and spices for 24 hours, and then flame-grill it. It's moist, flavorful, and tastes healthy.
Throughout the menu, bold rubs and marinades made with island spices, mixed herbs, and fresh citrus enhance fresh proteins and veggies.
Top off your TropiChop with curry mustard, BBQ, guava BBQ, pineapple rum, spicy poyo-poyo, fresh salsa, hot sauce, or — the undisputed fan favorite — cilantro garlic. This sauce makes anything and everything taste better.
When it comes to drinks, they do have typical soft drinks, but they also have some house specialties.
My favorite is the freshly brewed mango iced tea (which doesn't need any sweetener in my opinion), but Pollo Tropical also offers Cuban sodas Jupiña (pineapple flavored) and Materva, made with yerba mate. It's sweet and reminiscent of cream soda or ginger ale.
Authentic Caribbean side dishes and desserts round out the meal nicely. I'm partial to the sweet plantains, which have a deliciously crispy, caramelized exterior, and the fried yuca, which is kind of like a tropical twist on French fries. Paired with the cilantro garlic sauce, they are completely addictive.
At midday on any given weekday in South Florida, you'll find scads of hungry patrons queuing up at Pollo Tropical to purchase lunch. I'm often among them — so much so that the drive-thru workers at my local Pollo know me by name. That might sound a little sad — but it pays dividends in extra cilantro garlic sauce. The next time you're in town, I'd recommend you take a pit stop.

"Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad-because these trials will make you partners with Christ in His suffering, and afterwards you will have the wonderful joy of sharing His glory when it is displayed to all the world." I Peter 4:12-13
Beside this verse, I have written, "Do we just cope with life, or rise above it?" That's a penetrating but fair question for everyone who takes the name of Christ as their Savior. If we have truly, in our hearts and lives, received Him as Lord and Savior, how then do we face life in a fallen, hostile world? One that will surely have more than its share of trouble, difficulty, and yes, suffering, in store for us? How do we deal with all of that? Do we just try to "cope with it," somehow survive it, and make it to heaven? Or, do we live lives that mark us as being, "more than conquerors?" A philosopher once said, "Most men live lives of quiet desperation." I think he was right, if he spoke only of those without Christ. But this can never be the state of those who are in Christ. Yet it seems so many who profess to be His are living lives that could be defined as being in quiet desperation. Why, how, can this be so when so much of His Life is made available to us through the cross and His resurrection?
Watchman Nee, writing on the verse, "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free," said, "The Greek word for Truth here is best translated as "reality." So many know the Truth intellectually, but it is not their reality. It's never been, and isn't now, their experience. It was said of the Israelites after they were overrun by their enemies, that they were now living as prisoners in their own land. I think this is the condition of so many in the Kingdom right now. The Israelites had entered into the land God had promised them, but now, through unbelief, lived in that land as prisoners, a conquered people. It was never to be so for them, and it is not to be so for us. But is it?
Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life." All who come to Him enter into that life, that promise. The question for each is, have we entered into that life only by intellectual agreement or through heart experience? The first yields a life that copes, tries to survive, and seems always at the mercy of circumstance. The latter brings forth life that overcomes, lives in victory, and can never be held captive by circumstance. It's life that make one more than a conqueror. It's His resurrection life, a rising life. Is it our life?
What mode of life do we live in today? The coping, survival mode, or the rising, resurrection one? Do we just agree with His Truth, or do we live in it?

...at least for now.
Since it's taken me five months to make an entry, I'm thinking it's time I declare a hiatus on Time Fishing for a little while.
I expect I'll return to this world when I move to a new place and have a lot of new areas to explore. And when I'm not already writing about history elsewhere and being paid for it.
So, until then, enjoy a cute historical picture:

A common myth is that legalizing cannabis will increase overall use. If we are talking about safe and responsible adult use, this should not matter. Still, the data does not show a direct link between legalization and usage rates. For example, the Netherlands celebrates 40 years of de facto legalization next year, yet their cannabis usage rates are lower than that of the United States.
In 2015, the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (ICSDP) published the 41-page State of Evidence: Cannabis Use and Regulation that said legalization "has at most a marginal impact on the prevalence of drug use." As evidence, the researchers looked at the World Health Organization's 17-country, 85,052-participant World Mental Health Surveys. The U.S. and New Zealand, both countries that criminalize cannabis, had the highest usage rates. The authors also found that any form of legalization, including medicinal, did not trigger an increase in usage.
However, studies like the 2012 "Medical Marijuana Laws and Teen Marijuana Use" found that teenage cannabis use decreased in states that instituted medical cannabis laws. One of the authors, Dr. Benjamin Hansen, said potential causes for decrease might include a limited illegal supply "as some drug dealers shift over to legally supply through dispensaries. Although total supply might be going up, the supply available to youth might decrease [as suppliers] start up legal dispensaries and don't want to risk their business by selling to someone underage. Second, more adults might be using marijuana due to the decreased punishments and the availability of medical marijuana. In previous research, we found that young adult use of medical marijuana increased by nearly 25 percent in several states for which we had data. An increase in adult demand would drive prices up, which would result in a decrease in quantity which teens demand."
Co-author Dr. Daniel Rees added, "The argument that medical marijuana is responsible for the recent increases in the use of marijuana by teenagers is not backed up by the data. If teen use of marijuana had gone up in the years following legalization, we would have observed a correlation. No effect, no correlation."
Countries differ, and evidence suggests that legalization does not always (or even commonly) correspond with an increase in usage. However, in the U.S., evidence suggests that teen use might decrease.

Christmas Day 2009
Readings: Isaiah 52:7-10; Hebrews 1:1-6; John 1:1-18
Rt. Rev. Lawrence Stasyszen, O.S.B.
St. Gregory's Abbey: Shawnee, Oklahoma
My brothers and sisters in Christ, our Newborn King, Merry Christmas! What joy must fill our hearts this day as we celebrate the infinite love that God has for us, a love so great that God has become one with us in the Word-Made-Flesh, Jesus Christ!
This week holds a very special place in my heart, and I look forward to it more and more each year. Yes, Christmas is the main reason why I await this week with such eagerness. But, I must confess, it is not the only reason. You see, I am one of those persons who struggles with SAD – not with being sad – but with SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder. If you are not familiar with this health issue, those who struggle with it are very sensitive to light. More accurately, we are very sensitive to the lack of light, especially to a lack of sunlight. With the short days, long nights and frequently overcast skies of the winter months, we who are affected by SAD can experience everything from moodiness and irritability to somewhat debilitating depression. Without enough sunlight, our lives get out of whack. Some lack their normal energy; some lack creativity; some lack motivation; some lack the ability to concentrate; some become forgetful; some even lose a sense of purpose and reason for living.
SAD can be a very serious condition and at times medication is needed. At any rate, SAD seems to affect me more and more the older I get. And so, I look forward to this week in the calendar with growing anticipation not only because of Christmas, but because as of December 22 we in the northern hemisphere have turned a corner and our days once again are starting to get longer. A little more light goes a long way to getting me back to normal.
But as serious as Season Affective Disorder can be, there is another affliction brought on by darkness that is much more serious. In fact, if it is not checked, this other condition inevitably proves to be deadly. Even when its symptoms do not appear obvious at first, or even when its effects seem inconsequential for some time, the condition eventually sneaks up folks, and throws them out of whack. This illness brought on by darkness prevents those afflicted by it from experiencing the gift of life as God intended it to be experienced. The darkness I speak of is not, of course, darkness brought on by long winter nights or dreary overcast skies, and the illness it brings is not merely a physical or mental condition, but one that touches the soul as well. The darkness that brings on such a truly deadly condition is the darkness of sin, and every one of us present is susceptible to its effects in our lives.
The darkness of sin and its debilitating consequences have been a plague upon humanity since our first parents, Adam and Eve, made a single fateful decision to act outside God's will for their lives. Its germ is so pervasive that touches us before our birth, and it spreads with choices that we make even in the most mundane and seemingly inconsequential circumstances. The contagion of sin has manifested itself in every age in everything from petty gossip, resentment, jealousy and spite, to greed, slavery, poverty and war. In its most chronic manifestation, the darkness of sin leads us to despair and lose hope that something better awaits us, our community and our world.
But there is good news to share, for the cure for sin and the debilitation and death it brings is known. What's more, access to this cure does not depend upon debates in Congress, the will of insurance underwriters or our ability to pay, but has been made accessible to all with the dawning of this day. Today we hear once again the "glad tidings [and] good news, announcing salvation" that a Savior is born to us who is "the refulgence of [the Father's] glory, the very imprint of [God's] being." Today, the darkness of sin is shattered by the bright light of Christ, and the sadness and despair that held humanity in its contagious grip are broken by the dawn of the day of salvation.
My brothers and sisters, this is the true meaning of Christmas, and it is the most important cause for our joy today. Certainly, Christmas means many things that are good – the gathering of family and friends, the spirit of giving and generosity, and the innocent faith of children. But what Christmas truly means is captured so beautifully and profoundly in the opening words of the Gospel of John that we hear proclaimed each Christmas day: "the Word became flesh / and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, / the glory of the Father's only Son, / full of grace and truth." Jesus Christ, the infant babe born of Mary in the stable at Bethlehem, is that Word, and "All things came to be through him … [and] What came to be through him was life, / and this life was the light of the human race; / the light shines in the darkness, / and the darkness has not overcome it."
Even though the darkness of sin at times seems so pervasive in our world or in our individual lives, the message of this Christmas day is that the light of salvation still shines brightly in Christ to dispel the darkness of sins deadly contagion and to bring the full experience of life. Indeed, as our gospel today assures us, those accept this light of God's Word-Made-Flesh are given the "power to become children of God" full of "grace and truth."
My brothers and sisters, this is the invitation and the gift extended to us on this glorious, bright Christmas day. We need no longer be trapped in the sadness, despair and death of sin's darkness, for today we bask in the light of salvation's dawn. May we adore the Lord of salvation, the Physician who heals all sin and division, and may we bask in the refulgence of his abundant light! A holy day has dawned upon us – a great light has come upon the earth. Let us rejoice and be glad, as children of the light. Alleluia, alleluia!

Murder victim Alfredo (Freddy) Patriarca played many roles in his life, including that of a much-loved family man, Toronto police said on Thursday.
"He was a member of the community," Det.-Sgt. Joyce Schertzer told a press conference. "He was a father. He held many different roles to many different people."
Schertzer downplayed reports that one of the Etobicoke man's roles was that of organized crime associate, although she said he was definitely targeted by his killer, who attacked within a minute of his arrival home near The Kingsway and Princess Margaret Blvd. around 6:24 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 20.
"Family was home at the time," Schertzer said.
Schertzer read a statement from Patriarca's widow which described him as a "good and giving man."
"Freddy was a very loving husband and my best friend," the letter stated. "He was an extremely devoted father who adored his two children."
The killer took just eight seconds inside his garage to shoot him dead, Schertzer said.
"There's no doubt in my mind that Freddy was the intended target," Schertzer said.
"The person responsible needs to be found before they do it again,"
she said.
Schertzer said she hoped someone might recognize the killer's "distinctive gait," which was captured on video.
She downplayed reports that the victim was connected to organized crime.
"I'm not working that angle at all," she said. "Mr. Patriarca has never been charged with an offence in relation to organized crime."
Homicide investigators are combing through 348 hours of video, she said.
A police source earlier told The Star that Patriarca was picked up often on police wiretaps probing the Rizzuto crime family of Montreal during the Colisee probe in the mid-2000s.
Patriarca survived a shooting in June 2012 during the gangland hit that killed his associate John Raposo, 35, as they sat together on the patio of the Sicilian Café on College St. watching the Euro Cup soccer championships.
Raposo was a close friend of Eddie (Hurricane) Melo, a former pro boxer who was murdered in 2001 outside a Mississauga coffee shop.
Police called Raposo's murder a "thought-out, planned hit."

Our company, Exterior Surface-Brite, Inc., was formed in 2004 after we began noticing dark streaky stains on roofs that seemed to be popping up everywhere. Back then many homeowners had no idea what was causing the ugly roof stains. People were theorizing all sorts of possible causes such as acid rain, jet fuel, and even duck poop! Everyone now knows that the dark stains infesting millions of roofs nation-wide are actually caused by algae growth with roots that wrap around the granules on asphalt and fiberglass shingles.
We also observed that homeowners and contractors were attempting to clean the roof stains either by using chlorine bleach and phosphate concoctions or high pressure power washing. It was clear to us that high pressure would damage the integrity of the shingles, that phosphates are harmful to our waterways, and that bleach is a toxic chemical dangerous to the environment and to the people using it. We determined there was a huge need for a safe solution to the problem of roof algae, moss and lichen colonies so we worked with engineers and chemists to develop the eco-friendly Roof Shampoo® products and equipment in use today by contractors coast-to-coast. Roof Shampoo® contractors appreciate the opportunity to offer their customers this much needed service in a way that is thoughtful of environmental concerns. In return, they receive overwhelming appreciation from their customers who can now enjoy renewed curb appeal and a healthy roof.

Vividly red in color, paprika is made from ground Capsicum chili peppers. Although, it doesn't pack the punch you'd expect from a chili. Instead, it has a sweet flavor and a delicate aroma that can vary from fruity to sharp.
We source our Spice Islands® paprika from around the world, looking for chiles with high extractable color.
Paprika works well in a variety of dishes, but is particularly well suited to seafood and chicken. Stir it into melted lemon butter for an easy dipping sauce.
Fun Fact: Paprika was first discovered in the Americas. But it was the Spanish who first dried it and ground it for culinary use after Christopher Columbus brought it back from the New World.
Our Paprika is only paprika. Spice Islands® spices and herbs don't contain added sugar, fillers or other ingredients so you get the most authentic flavor every time.

"Police arrested a naked burglar after a girl found the man in her home with a bottle of liquor in hand.
Skylar Adams, 14, was in her bedroom when she heard someone in the kitchen. She saw a naked man leaning into the pantry while holding a bottle of Captain Morgan rum."
The article doesn`t explain why the burglar, Kennan Kluesener, 47, was naked. That`s the very first question the intrepid reported from KPLCTV should have asked the burglar.
I`m also interested why Kluesener stole a bottle of Captain Morgan rum, you`d think he would have stolen underpants first.
The homeowner John Adams, and a neighbor with a neighbor toting a gun held the naked burglar at gunpoint until the deputies arrived.
Adams was kind enough to give the burglars some underwear before he went to jail.
Moral of this story: If you are a burglar please make sure that you wear some drawers, and if you are a homeowner make sure you own a gun to protect your family and property.
Kluesener was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and petit theft.

The town called 'Tomb'
29 March 2017
The high, wind-scoured mound of hard-packed clay rises above the date orchards to the north of Turbat town. Closer inspection reveals an array of eroded turrets and bulky walls meant clearly for defensive purpose, foundations of rooms, immense quantities of pottery shards and even a brick-lined well or two.
Locals call it Miri and believe it is the last vestige of the palace of Ari Jam, the king of Kech and Makran. But Ari Jam was apparently a mythical figure for history provides no corroboration of his existence. Instead, there is no dearth of reference to the town of Kech in the accounts of the several Persian and Arab geographers who passed through Makran in the Middle Ages.
Twelve hundred years before the first of these travellers, there was Alexander of Macedon who led his army through the barren, waterless deserts of the land his chroniclers call Gadrosia. Known to us as Makran, this was a land where no provision were to be had and good water only infrequently. The journey was ghastly: thousands perished from thirst and heat. It was a journey in which when even a close comrade or a loved one fell by the wayside, others kept trudging on for stopping meant inviting one's own death.
At length Alexander fetched up in a region 'where provisions were more or less plentiful.' So fruitful was this land after the deprivation of the preceding weeks that a large amount of food was purchased from the locals. History tells us that Alexander's route led him west from Lasbela town, consequently the region of plenty to be first reached would be Turbat sitting in the fertile flood plain of the Kech River that then flowed somewhat better than today.
After the Arab invasion of Makran in the early 8th century CE, this region saw a flurry of visitors from the west. All those who came, were dazzled by the affluence of the town they called Kedge or Kech. Some likened the richness of its trade and commerce to that of the more famous Multan far away in the Punjab heartland. Others waxed eloquent on the generous hospitality offered by its people – as the Baloch do to this day.
While all agree on the name Kech, the Arab Ibn Haukal (mid-10th century), upsets the balance by writing of a place called Qabr, sepulchre in Arabic. However, he does not elaborate if there were ancient graves or perhaps an opulent mausoleum marking the last resting place of some bygone grandee to justify the title. Now, at the time of the Arabs' first arrival in Makran, the country was largely peopled by Zoroastrians who do not bury their dead. Yet there appear to have been, if not several, at least one famous tomb for Ibn Haukal to name the town Qabr.
Over the years however, Kech came to be known as Turbat which is the Persian equivalent of Qabr. The mysterious burial that the Arab geographer referred to evidently continued to attract attention and was also noticed by Persian-speakers. History tantalises by keeping the wraps on this mysterious tomb. Could it be that Alexander in his passage through Turbat left behind some graves that were celebrated long after their origin was forgotten?
We do not have the answers yet. And that is because Miri, the mound of Turbat, has yet only been cursorily investigated by archaeologists. Even this perfunctory study reveals that the mound was continuously inhabited from about 1500 BCE until the 16th century of our era, that is, it holds the mysteries of over three thousand years. One day when it gives up its secrets we may learn of Alexander's sojourn here and the burials he ordered.

Last week, Buddy the lounger was on vacay from daycare. Which translated into the best week ever. Also, one of the busiest weeks I've had at work to date, but whatever right? We'll sleep when we're dead. Here she is enjoying string cheese and cartoons.
It takes a village, people, (not it takes the Village People because they are antiquated and weird) and last week was definitely a prime example of that. With daycare being closed and both of our work lives being so busy, we needed a lot of help. Babe's parents came on Monday and mine came on Thursday. Banj came on Friday. Buddy got a lot of attention and we got a little bit of breathing room to answer emails as needed.
I took Buddy to the museum.
We took the train and she liked it.
She always says to me: I love you so much, Mama.
Here's Buddy and Grampa just doing some gardening.
Yeah. Gardening.
Did I mention that Babe went to Texas for three days last week and my work hosted a live mayoral debate on television? Oh right. So anyways, one night me and Buddy went to LBC to see our pals.
Another night I took her on a date to CPK. That's her HANDS OFF MY SUNDAE LADY, face.

Dear Susan,
I just want say "Thank: you" because I can not find any other words to
truly express the happiness that has been brought into my life , The finding of my son is one of the greatest gifts that I ever received.
It all happened so fast and with such grace that it still does not seem real. I still sit down every once in a while to shed a few tears and to try to grasp it all.
My son has flown from Washington to Oklahoma to meet with us. We spent
magical days together. We now have tickets to fly out there to meet the rest of the family.
Again, thank you so very much for all you have done. Norma and yourself have been wonderful to work with. I have called other web sites and felt like I had called a used car lot, but working with you has been a very positive experience.
The decision to find someone is a very emotional decision and needs to be treated as such - thank you.
Hi Susan,
I simply want to bring you up-to-date. Mark and I have been emailing, texting, and talking since the day he called, the 10th of September. And now we are picking him up Monday at the Tulsa airport.
I am absolutely living a fairy tale! It is absolutely unreal.
I am so very excited, nervous, and all other emotions you can name in anticipation of his visit. I have been cooking and getting the house ready, but mostly going around in circles!!!!
Thank you again so very much for everything. I hope you have many more reunions like this one.
Sincerely - Karen
What People are Saying about Us
Original Thank you and update from Karen
Dear Susan,

Over the years, a skin-care technique named microdermabrasion has grown in popularity. For many, it has turned back the clock with successful results. This non-invasive treatment is painless, and most of all, affordable. It has also been an attractive alternative for those not quite ready for facial injections, laser procedures or cosmetic surgeries. Typically, a microdermabrasion session lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.
The procedure helps with different skin issues, such as:
- Acne
- Age spots
- Fine lines
- Sun-damaged skin
For those addressing the above skin issues, it's recommended to have six to eight sessions. For great results, each microdermabrasion should be scheduled a couple weeks apart. After completing a full treatment regimen, regular maintenance is usually a monthly microdermabrasion.
How Microdermabrasion Works
Attached to a microdermabrasion machine is a wand. It's guided by a technician who proceeds in a gentle, distinct pattern across the face to keep track of the number of "passes" they make. The more passes give a deeper exfoliation. Newer, crystal-free microdermabrasion machines, utilise a diamond head and several offer the benefit of infusing a variety of products into the skin during the microdermabrasion procedure. This type of microdermabrasion treatment yields the most dramatic, visual improvement.
On the whole, the microdermabrasion procedure exfoliates, stimulates circulation, encourages blood flow to the skin, and promotes collagen production. Naturally, skin ages through a loss of collagen and elastin fibers — sun exposure can speed up this process. Regular microdermabrasion treatments, however, can help fight this progression.
Microdermabrasion treatment prior to starting a brand new skin care regimen can boost its effectiveness. Removing dead skin offers better product penetration. Those who tend to easily get broken capillaries in the face should avoid microdermabrasion treatments. It is important to have a microdermabrasion treatment performed by a skin care professional, who can decide if it is the right treatment for a particular skin type.
After Microdermabrasion
Technicians agree that people will notice immediate skin smoothness after having microdermabrasion. Those who receive product "infusions" will also have a visible luminosity to the skin. In fact, many people receive compliments on their skin immediately after the procedure. Those with sensitive skin may experience a slight redness in the skin that subsides quickly and is easily covered with mineral makeup.
Sunscreen is the number one ingredient in any skin care regimen. Many people considering microdermabrasion treatments think that they don't need to use sunscreen anymore – however, that couldn't be further from the truth. The fact is that if sunscreen is not applied and reapplied daily, then microdermabrasion along with other anti-ageing skin treatments are a waste of time and money. Sunscreen protects the investment made by having skin care procedures.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that has little to no social downtime. After treatment, patients immediately resume their normal schedule.
Microdermabrasion, done on a regular basis, is one sure-fire way to recapture the fountain of youth. For more information on microdermabrasion and other skin, treatments visit http://londoncosmeticclinic.com.au/services/skin-treatments/.

Passively Delivering More for Less with SAP
Posted by Daniel Killeen in energy-psa.co.uk - News on 24 February, 2011
Capital cost savings of almost £800/dwelling can be achieved and still attain at least Level 3 under the Code for Sustainable Homes by utilizing sustainable technologies beyond the conventional….
Research by Passivent, the UK's leading natural ventilation specialist, is revealing that under changes to the SAP calculation method, installation of even its basic Passive Stack Ventilation system, in conjunction with a gas saver, waste water heat recovery and photovoltaic equipment, can achieve capital cost savings of up to £780/ dwelling, and achieve an improved DER, against the widely-accepted route of MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery).
"The findings come from analysis of, and SAP calculations done for, 'real life' semi-detached homes, which reinforces the validity of our claims," observes Dennis Bates, Passivent Domestic Product Manager. "Even with an airtightness factor of 3, our combined solution gives a better DER- of 20.33 against 21.41- and costs at least £200 less than MVHR. On even a small development, that adds up to a significant reduction in bottom-line costs, whether private or social housing, even before you've factored in the 'lifetime' costs of maintenance, replacement parts etc. It truly is giving 'more for less' and delivering best value practice."
Under Passivent's analysis, on a four-bedroomed semi-detached with three wet rooms and an airtightness of 3, PSV + gas saver+ waste water heat recovery required just 0.82kWh of PV to achieve Code Level 3 and costs less than £4000 for all of the technologies; with an airtightness of 5, the systems still cost only £4145 against almost £5000 for MVHR to reach the same Code level. With the 5 airtightness value, the same solution still costs just over £6500 to attain Level 4, against an MVHR cost of over £7000.
Passivent's PSV is the only domestic ventilation strategy that uses NO electricity to function, instantly contributing towards low carbon emissions. It harnesses natural air movement principles, like a chimney, to ensure the home is adequately ventilated 24/7, 365 days a year. Passivent PSV uses planned air paths to exhaust warm, 'used' internal air out through the roof terminal, creating a natural draught-free 'suction' effect to stimulate replacement with fresh air through strategically positioned inlets. It is therefore 'fit and forget', requiring no operator, service or maintenance input.
Passivent supplies background ventilation solutions including tricklevents and through-wall ventilators, standard and 'intelligent' mechanical ventilation, passive stack natural ventilation and the new and innovative iHybrid, which combines natural ventilation with heat recovery to yield a 55% reduction in fan energy use and a 39% saving in lifetime costs over standard mechanical heat recovery, with its systems supported by its nationwide Mastercare scheme of approved installers. Its ability to design, supply and install all domestic ventilation solutions means it can provide authoritative, unbiased advice to the building industry to ensure new schemes comply with the new Approved Document, and all other regulatory requirements.

On Construction
SBEM Calculations
All new commercial buildings require an energy assessment to be carried out at the"design" stage and submitted with your building control submission. When your building is complete the building control officer will need confirmation of the"as built" calculations in order to sign off the building. We use Carbon Checker and Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) software to achieve this and can provide solutions to help you comply with building regulations.
Code for Sustainable Homes
The Code for Sustainable Homes introduces minimum standards for energy and water efficiency at every level of the new national standard. The Code measures the sustainability of a home against key design categories, rating the 'whole home' as a complete package. The minimum standards for Code compliance have been set above the requirements of Building Regulations and new homes can achieve a rating on a scale of one to six 'Code Levels' depending on the standard achieved.
What's Green In The UK Coalition's Emergency Budget?
Posted by Daniel Killeen in energy-psa.co.uk - News on 22 June, 2010
Today's emergency budget from the UK's Conservative-Liberal coalition government has been pre-empted in the press as many things. The austerity budget. The bloodbath budget. The brutal budget. A game-changing budget.
But with the coalition parties having most in common with each other on environmental matters, one question begs to be asked: was today's budget a green one?
Separating the economy from the environment is now almost impossible in the country which introduced the world's first government Carbon Budget. After March 2010's second Carbon Budget, which brought little new to the environmental table due to the recession other than promises for a new green investment bank and an energy market review, environmentalists started to look for clues in the election manifestos of the main political parties to see what else would soon emerge from Westminster.

(David Cote, right | Source: Bloomberg/Getty via CNN)
David Cote, the CEO of Honeywell, has more than $134 million in his personal retirement fund. If I were sitting on a nest egg that big, I might feel a bit sheepish about telling ordinary grandmas and grandpas to take a cut in their Social Security payments.
Just the first $113,700 of an American worker's wage income is subject to payroll tax. The rich don't pay.
But Cote and leaders of other large corporations don't see it that way. In fact, as Congress prepares for yet another budget showdown at the end of the year, the loudest calls for Social Security cuts are coming from CEOs who will never have to worry about their own retirement security.
Two lobby groups have organized CEOs into an austerity army. One is the Fix the Debt campaign, which is spending tens of millions of dollars on slick PR tactics to garner public support for cutting popular programs like Social Security and Medicare. More than 135 chief executives have signed up as Fix the Debt spokespeople.
The other is the Business Roundtable, a 40-year-old club for about 200 of America's most powerful CEOs. The Roundtable doesn't sugarcoat. They want everybody to work until age 70 before they can get Social Security.
Like Cote, these are people who are sitting on massive nest eggs of their own. According to a new report by my organization, the Institute for Policy Studies, and the Center for Effective Government, Business Roundtable CEOs have retirement accounts worth $14.5 million on average.
That's enough to generate a monthly retirement check of $86,043 starting at age 65. By contrast, the average monthly Social Security check is $1,237.
Many of these CEOs are also shortchanging their own workers' pension funds. General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt, for example, has made his employees' future less secure by building up a nearly $22.6 billion deficit in the company's retirement fund.
Why do CEOs with platinum pensions care so much about cutting Social Security? They claim it's all about patriotism. "As an American," Cote says, "I couldn't know about this problem and not try to do something about it." As the Baby Boom generation ages, Cote says, we're facing a "demographic time bomb."
There's a raging debate among economists about whether we're really facing a bomb or if this is just another phony crisis. What's clear is there are far more effective ways to ensure Social Security's sustainability than cutting benefits.
One of the most effective ways would be to lift the cap on wages subject to Social Security taxes.
Right now, just the first $113,700 of an American worker's wage income is subject to this 12.4 percent payroll tax. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that if this cap were eliminated, it would do reduce Social Security's projected shortfall by three times as much as raising the retirement age to 70.
It's not hard to figure out why these powerful CEOs aren't supporting that change. They'd have to pay way more into the system. For example, Cote received an unusually large cash payout in 2011 of $25.1 million. If the cap didn't exist, he would've paid $2.6 million in Social Security taxes instead of the maximum for that year of $11,107.
If these CEOs were truly patriotic, they'd work to ensure a dignified retirement for all their fellow Americans.
