Ella Brennan said it was almost like a parade. When Owen E. Brennan had to relocate his Bourbon Street Vieux Carré restaurant in 1955, he rounded up the business's loyal customers to carry the tables and chairs down the street and around the block to the new location at 417 Royal St.
That's how she described the day to her nephew, Ralph Brennan, but he doesn't remember any of that. Ralph was only 4 years old.
All Ralph remembers from that day is walking beside his grandfather, Owen E. Brennan's father who was also named Owen, as they entered the new building. That's Ralph's earliest memory of 417 Royal St., the rambling pink mansion that for the next half century would be known simply as Brennan's.
Owen E. Brennan, 45 years old at the time, was beloved for his wit and good cheer. At his Bourbon Street restaurant, he hosted city leaders and Hollywood stars, such as John Wayne, Robert Taylor and Gary Cooper. According to the official 1994 cookbook "Breakfast at Brennan's and Dinner, Too," he decided to move when his landlord demanded half of the business.
Owen, however, never saw his restaurant reopen on Royal Street.
On Nov. 3, 1955, he attended an elaborate dinner at Antoine's with La Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin wine society. The next morning, his wife Maude found him dead of a heart attack. Brennan's on Royal Street would not open until the spring of 1956.
Now, 58 years later, Ralph owns the legendary and once contentiously fought-over pink building in an equal partnership with local businessman Terry White. When 417 Royal St. reopens to the public in spring 2014, it will be Ralph's seventh restaurant.
Owen was a showman who knew how to generate press. His nephew Ralph has grown into a more reserved adult. His jackets are navy, his pants pressed and khaki. When he lifts off a white hardhat after walking through the construction site at 417 Royal St., his gray hair is never mussed.
Ralph Brennan and White are spending millions of dollars to renovate every inch of this sprawling building where generations of locals and tourists have dined. It's a grand gesture that will no doubt be noted across the nation. In his own, quieter way, Ralph shows that he inherited the family's gift for making news.
Growing up a Brennan
Ralph's other early memories of Brennan's are more vivid. When he was around 8 years old, aunts Ella and Adelaide would take him to movies at the Joy or Saenger Theatre. Afterward, they would buy him a toy at Woolworth's. At 3 p.m., it was time for them to go to work. Ralph was set free to roam Brennan's.
"This was a playground," he said. "I guess I was well-behaved, because I don't remember getting disciplined at all."
He would stare at the exotic wine labels. Sometimes he slipped behind the bar. He would play on the patio, tossing wooden swizzle sticks into the pond's drain pipe to watch them shoot out the other end.
When he reached high school age, the family put Ralph to work. It was probably the summer of 1965. Ralph doesn't remember the exact year. Ella, who ran the restaurant, gave him a job as a prep cook. First, Ralph peeled shrimp and boned chicken. On a busy day, when there were several large parties booked, he would debone hundreds of chickens.
Later that summer, Ella moved Ralph to the line, where he learned to poach eggs and make Hollandaise sauce, two essential items at a restaurant where breakfast was more popular than dinner.
"The guy that taught me there was a guy who came to work for me later at Mr. B's," Ralph said. "His name was Jimmy Smith. He was from southwest Louisiana. He had been in the kitchen forever."
After graduating from Ecole Classique high school, today located in Metairie, in 1969, Ralph stayed in New Orleans and attended Tulane University. On busy weekends, he came downtown to man the front door at Brennan's. In the summers, he worked full-time for the family.
He finished his undergraduate degree in 1973 and decided to stay at Tulane for business school. He always assumed that he would eventually enter the family business.
That summer between college and business school, Ralph traveled to Europe with friends. He came home through St. Louis, where a cousin was getting married. Ralph was in the wedding.
"I remember my father picking me up," Ralph said, "and we went to the hotel (in St. Louis) and he said, 'Come with me.' He made me get a haircut and cleaned me up. That's when he told me, when we were out that afternoon getting a haircut. He told me there were problems that came up."
The problem was a split in the Brennan family.
Brewing family friction
With Brennan's on Royal Street as the base, the family's restaurant empire by the early 1970s had extended to Mississippi and Texas. Commander's Palace was purchased in 1969, along with a Metairie restaurant called Chez Français. According to the "Breakfast at Brennan's" cookbook, which begins with an extended family history, there was tension between Ella, who led the expansion, and Owen's three sons: Ted, Pip and Jimmy.
"I'll tell you it was unexpected, but maybe not," Ralph said as he sat at a folding table in one of the under-renovation grand dining rooms of what once was Brennan's. "I wasn't in all of the meetings, although in those summers when I worked here they invited me to a lot of the meetings. I didn't see it coming, if that's the question. Dad might have. Ella might have. Maybe Jimmy, Pip and Ted might have seen it coming earlier."
As the Brennan's family and their lawyers battled, Ralph talked frequently with his father, John, about the situation. After legal and family wrangling, Ted, Pip and Jimmy ended up with Brennan's on Royal Street, the restaurant founded by Owen E. Brennan, their father and Ralph's uncle. Ella, Dick, Dottie, Adelaide and John, the younger siblings of Owen, were given Commander's Palace and the other expansion restaurants.
In the years to come, Commander's Palace would eclipse Brennan's on Royal, but at the time the Garden District restaurant was no prize. After the family bought Commander's Palace, it languished as attention was focused on new restaurants outside Louisiana.
For Ralph, the family split changed his life.
"I needed a job," he said. "I thought I was coming into the business. I remember a conversation with Aunt Ella up at Commander's telling me, 'I don't have anything for you.'"
Ella promised to call when she had work for Ralph.
Instead of running restaurants, Ralph became a CPA. He joined Price Waterhouse, now PricewaterhouseCoopers. He worked there six years, rising to the point where partnership looked like his clear path. And then, in 1981, Ella Brennan made him an offer.
"She told me she was going to teach me how to run restaurants," he said, "and she would be my mentor. I was excited and scared at the same time. I felt like it was something that I needed to do."
In true Ella fashion, she didn't put Ralph to work for her at first. Instead, she sent him to Paris for four months to study cooking. Then it was off to New York so Ralph could work for Ella's friends at the 21 Club and learn from the best how to manage the front of a house.
Ella's training laid a foundation for Ralph's future. In addition to interest in Commander's Palace, Mr. B's Bistro and Brennan's of Houston, Ralph's company operates six other restaurants -- Ralph's on the Park, the Red Fish Grill, Café NOMA and the Heritage Grill in New Orleans, Café B in Old Metairie and Jazz Kitchen at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. -- and a catering company.
His seventh, far larger than all the rest, will be the restaurant under construction in the pink building on 417 Royal St.
Reaching out to Ted Brennan
Ralph and his partner White will spend millions to restore and update the structure, built in 1795. How many millions? They don't yet know. But it will be more than Ralph, the former accountant, calculated that he would spend.
"I've thought about all the great experiences that people have had here when it was Brennan's," Ralph said. "For me, it's an effort to maintain the tradition and keep it going. It's a special place for me, and it's a special place for my family."
How Ralph came to own the building at 417 Royal St. in partnership with White, and how brothers Ted and Pip Brennan came to lose it in a sheriff's sale, is a tale that's been playing out in courtrooms and in the media — both local and national — for the past two years. (Jimmy Brennan, Ted and Pip's brother and partner in Brennan's, died in 2010.)
For Ralph, the story began even earlier. And it hasn't ended the way he first imagined.
A mutual friend suggested that Ralph approach Ted and offer to help him with Brennan's.
"I didn't know all the details and I didn't need to know them, but because of what was reported and I heard about, I knew they had some issues," Ralph said. "I did know that after Katrina there were some issues between Pip and Jimmy with Ted, so two against one."
Ralph didn't call Ted immediately.
"I wasn't comfortable doing it," he said. "It took me a number of months, four or five months, before I reached out to Ted."
The two cousins eventually met in 2011, over lunch at the Rib Room. They would meet there again on several occasions. Ralph offered to provide capital. Ted's branch of the family, Ralph told his cousin, should continue to run Brennan's. If, however, it looked like the property would fall to a non-Brennan, Ralph vowed to try to keep it inside the family.
"We were never able to get past the fact of 'I like your offer, we need to talk,'" Ralph said.
Ted Brennan, on advice of his lawyer, would not comment on his conversations with Ralph.
Quietly making a bid for Brennan's
In April 2012, as Ralph and Ted continued to talk, local businessman Terry White, through a company called Leggo/4 LLC, bought the $4.1 million mortgage on 417 Royal St. from First NBC Bank. Eventually, Leggo/4 would foreclose on the property and force it to a sheriff's sale.
The first sheriff's sale of the famous pink building was scheduled for Dec. 13, 2012. Ralph planned to bid against White. That sale was canceled. So was a second sale, set for March 2013. Eventually the property at 417 Royal St. sold at sheriff's auction on May 23, 2013, for $6.85 million.
Although White and Ralph had spoken a few times, it wasn't until that May, just before the final auction, that they decided to work together. Ralph said he had never been a partner in White's Leggo/4.
White and Ralph have since transferred ownership of the property to 417 Royal Street LLC, in which they each have a 50 percent stake. According to the Louisiana Secretary of State database, that company was previously called "New Brennan's Co. LLC." Ralph and White also formed 417 Royal Restaurant LLC to manage the eventual restaurant.
As Ralph and White work with architects and designers, peeling away layers of paint, plaster and tile, the new restaurant slowly takes shape.
The name, however, has yet to be determined.
For now, the name Brennan's is unavailable. Ted and Pip Brennan own the Brennan's name. After a Dec. 12 decision by the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, Ted and daughter Bridget Brennan Tyrrell again control Brennan's Inc. But Brennan's Inc. is facing involuntary bankruptcy, and its very name is one of the assets that might be liquidated.
At this point, Ralph says he can't say what his restaurant will be, other than "a high-end, classic New Orleans restaurant."
"The way I work," he said, "is that we'll set some parameters for the chef who will write his own or her own menu." And that chef has yet to be hired.
Ralph lacks the effusive gregariousness of some other Brennan family members, such as Ti Martin and Lally Brennan who run Commander's Palace. At times, he still speaks like the accountant he once was.
It's clear, though, that restaurants are more than a business for him. They are more, even, than just the family business. His boyhood at Brennan's left a mark. It filled him with a sense of wonder about what happens daily in these places where we go to eat.
"It's magical," he said. "You're empty, then all of a sudden you open those front doors."

Lord Denis Healey,
Baron Healey of Riddlesden in the county of West Yorkshire.
Patron of the National Association of Writers' Groups.
The son of an aspirational engineer who became the head of a technical college in Keighley, West Yorkshire, Denis was educated at Bradford Grammar School. He won a scholarship to read Greats at Balliol College, Oxford, where he earned a double first.
His service in the Royal Engineers was honoured by an MBE in 1945. Denis was still in uniform when he gave a left wing speech to the Labour Party Conference in 1945.
A telling quote was, "I was determined to do my best to stop a Third World War." This, I feel, must have been a reason for his decision to pursue a career in politics rather than academia.
The focus of his life was service and he was a Member of Parliament for 40 years, supporting moderate policies of the Labour Party. He served as Deputy Leader, Shadow Foreign Secretary and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer before becoming Chancellor in Harold Wilson's government and then Secretary of State for Defence. He was the Member of Parliament for Leeds until 1995.
Baron Radice, also a patron of NAWG, said, "He had the qualities and experience to be a great PM (but) he was a bit of a loner, which probably explains why he didn't get the leadership."
Tim Healey felt that his father was happiest as a problem solver, heading a department.
Lord Neil Kinnock, former Labour leader said, "Denis had high intellect, great personal charm and a sense of humour that was rumbustious and, when needed, lethal."
Edna May Edmunds, daughter of a crane driver, became his wife in 1945 and they were almost inseparable until she died in 2010. They had three children: Jenny, a retired teacher; Tim, a writer and broadcaster; and Cressida, a therapist.
Healey retained a keen interest in the arts, particularly in Opera. He was an amateur photographer and painted fine watercolours… I found an interesting website on his work. He played piano and he wrote, as did Edna who was a Booker Prize judge.
A quote from Denis Kaufman that gives a feel for the backdrop to Healey's life is that he stressed the need for politicians to have a 'hinterland' of interests outside politics. He certainly had that.
His sense of fun and clever wit was legendary.
The Healeys' support for the arts included NAWG for which we are grateful.
It has been a privilege to have him as a patron and our thoughts are with his family.
— Anne Steward

PBS recently debuted a documentary titled "Alzheimer's: Every Minute Counts." The documentary includes some sobering statistics and realities about Alzheimer's disease, which has become one of the most serious public health issues affecting our country.
For people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers and families, it's not just an illness. It's a crisis. Consider the numbers as laid out in an article from Mercola.com:
- The number of people affected by Alzheimer's is expected to triple by 2050.
- Every 33 seconds, someone in our country will develop Alzheimer's disease.
- The costs to care for those with Alzheimer's are forecast to exceed $1.1 trillion by 2050.
- Though 5.2 million of 5.4 million Americans with Alzheimer's are age 65 and older, 200,000 people have younger-onset Alzheimer's.

Don't Let The Presence Of Unwanted Fats Affect Your Presence In The World
Posted by Art Of Legend India [dot] Com On 10:37 PM
Short Summary: With the latest technology to remove fats, you do not have to suffer with the stress that unwanted fats may bring.
Removing unwanted fats is not easy. It requires daily physical activities in order to burn the calories that we take in. It is also important that we stay away from processed and fatty foods that can bring serious health risk to our bodies. We have to make sure that we are taking healthy food bit doing so may be really hard sometimes especially when we are living busy lives that we are left with no choice but to eat on fast food chains and take in all the fats that come with the food they serve.
The presence of unwanted fats is no joke. It can cause us many negative feelings about our lives and it can ruin our self confidence. We can prevent these unwanted body fats from coming by becoming self conscious regarding the food that we eat and by making constant efforts to maintain a good kind of exercise. We also have to make sure that we are taking in lots of water and fresh juices to remove the toxins from our bodies. We have to make sure that we are getting enough amount of sleep and that we are staying away from vices like too much alcohol drinking and smoking which can be really harmful to our bodies.
There are different fat treatments that are now readily available to get stomach in shape. We can consider no surgery fat off like the CoolSculpting by Zeltiq in NYC procedure that is being offered in Schweiger Derm today. It is a kind of strategy that freezes fats in order to destroy it, unlike the many other fat treatments that burn fat. It is definitely a cool way, cooler than the other surgical or non surgical procedures that are available. The best thing about it is that you can see the results in just one session. You do not have to wait for so long before you can see the results!
With the latest technology to remove fats, you do not have to suffer with the stress that unwanted fats may bring. You can try the non invasive ways and see the results for yourself. You do not have to let the presence of unwanted fats ruin your life. Being confident will take you higher, thus you can shine your brightest without the emotional weight that having to deal with unwanted fats may bring.
Frenalyn writes about fat treatments and other helpful articles that promote healthy fat loss. Her aim is to help people who are having problems with unwanted body fats find the best strategy to bring back their confidence. She also writes articles about acne and acne scar treatments and other helpful ideas on skin care.

Renowned urban strategists Enrique Peñalosa and Majora Carter joined us for a July 15 panel discussion on building and sustaining equality in public open space. The dynamic speakers left the audience energized and inspired—no easy feat during the throes of a heat wave.
"A good city should feel like a park," said Enrique Peñalosa near the end of a powerful presentation. The former Mayor of Bogotá, Colombia, spoke passionately about the benefits that access to parks and other green places bring to a city's inhabitants.
His sentiment was echoed by Majora Carter of MCG Consulting. The MacArthur "genius" Fellow and Peabody Award–winning broadcaster gave a galvanizing presentation on urban revitalization. "You don't have to move out of your neighborhood to live in a better one," Carter told the audience.
Watch our full-length video of the talk below. Our media partner Next City provides additional coverage in "Looking for Equality in Public Spaces."
"Beyond the High Line: Building Equitable Cities and Public Spaces" is part of an ongoing series of free talks to educate and inspire conversation about the transformation of the country's out-of-use industrial infrastructure into public open space. Join us on Monday, September 23, for a discussion on Staten Island's Fresh Kills Park—a former landfill that is being redesigned as a public park.

Tutorial: Pulled Fringe Embroidered Napkins
I actually started this project about 9 months ago! I had embroidered three of the four napkins and then lost steam before the Christmas craftytime rush. Well, there's nothing like moving house to remind you of all your WiPs - Works in Progress. I recently bought an old oak bureau with two large drawers, and I am absolutely determined to try to limit all of my crafting supplies to those two drawers. That doesn't include my wool stash of course.... that plastic storage box is under the bed! But all of my WiPs are taking up too much space so I'm making a concentrated effort to get them completed. Here's the first of my finished projects. Enjoy!
- a square of linen-like fabric (four to make four napkins)
- brightly coloured sewing threads
- brightly coloured embroidery threads
- embroidery needles
- an embroidery hoop
- fabric scissors
- a sewing machine
- an iron (optional)
Step 1: Fold your linen squares in quarters, and embroider a fun design in one of the corners of each napkin. I used a selection of Aunt Martha's iron-on transfers by Colonial Patterns purchased in Texas a million years ago. Be sure to knot your embroidery thread at each end if you plan to wash your napkins in the washing machine.
Step 2: Select a few brightly coloured sewing threads to, not necessarily match, but coordinate with your napkins.
Step 3: Sew a square all the way around one of your napkins - about half an inch from the outer edge.
Step 4: Sew another square approximately a quarter of an inch from the first square. Don't worry if your lines aren't perfectly straight. If you use an inexpensive fabric that is loosely woven (and thus easier to fringe), then it will be just about impossible to keep your lines straight due to the nature of the fabric. That's okay!
Step 5: Using a straight pin or an embroidery needle, gently pull out each vertical thread to create the fringe. Do this on all four sides of your napkin. Repeat the sewing and fringing process on all four napkins, and then iron them stiff with a light starch.
And that's it. Now it's tea time... or cocktail time!

Memorial Day is a day when we all come together to honor those who have given their lives in the defense of freedom and the principles we hold dear in this country.
May is also National Military Appreciation Month. As we observe Memorial Day and Military Appreciation Month, we would like to let members of our military know how much we value what they do for our nation.
At Social Security, we offer a wide range of services for our service members.
Families of fallen military heroes may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits. Learn more about Social Security survivors benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/pgm/survivors.htm.
For service members who return home with injuries, Social Security is here to help. Visit our Wounded Warriors website. You can find it at www.socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors. We use an expedited process for military service members who become disabled while on active military service, regardless of where the disability occurs.
The Wounded Warriors website answers a number of commonly asked questions, and shares other useful information about disability benefits, including how veterans can receive expedited processing of disability claims. It is important to note that benefits available through Social Security are different than those from the Department of Veterans Affairs and require a separate application.
Even active duty military who continue to receive pay while in a hospital or on medical leave should consider applying for disability benefits if they are unable to work due to a disabling condition. Active duty status and receipt of military pay does not necessarily prevent payment of Social Security disability benefits. Receipt of military payments should never stop someone from applying for disability benefits from Social Security.

Cultivating the next generation of arts supporters is a difficult job when competition for young peoples' time and attention comes from school, part-time jobs, sports, friends — and in South Florida, abundant sunshine and beaches. Which is why the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs started Culture Shock Miami, a 10-year-old program dedicated to offering county residents under age 22 affordable access to some of the best that the South Florida cultural community has to offer.
"Arts organizations have been feeling the ill effects of aging audiences for some time," says Gerry Landreth, projects administrator at the Department of Cultural Affairs. "With shrinking budgets, their primary focus has become maintaining an audience as opposed to cultivating new ones. Culture Shock Miami helps reach a younger market in ways that a typical organization cannot."
Launched in fall 2004 with a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Culture Shock was modeled after the New York-based High Five program, which offered $5 performance tickets to youth.
With $5 tickets for live performances and two-for-$5 for museums, Culture Shock has eliminated price as a barrier to cultural participation. In the process, it is working to develop in young audiences a passion for the arts, as well an audience who will become repeat ticket buyers.
"One of our primary goals is to reach students during the ages when they are starting to make their own entertainment choices," Landreth says.
In addition to their comprehensive youth-friendly website and social media presence, another way they have reached the youth market is with the establishment of a Student Advisory Council. Interested students can apply for the council, which consists of five to 10 high school and college students. These students work with the Department of Cultural Affairs to promote the program and tailor the messages to better reach their peers.
Thanks to the advisory council's feedback, Culture Shock has added two new video features to its website and social media pages: The You Review and The Inside Story.
"With The You Review students are interviewed at an event to get their feedback and reactions to the show," Landreth says. "The Inside Story is a behind-the-scenes look at an organization, such as Florida Grand Opera, where students get to learn more about what it takes to put on an opera; or a venue, such as Vizcaya, where students can take a virtual tour of the ground with one of the docents."
These videos have also proven to be a valuable marketing tool for featured arts organizations, many of which post them on their own websites.
Since its inception, more than 50,000 tickets have been purchased through Culture Shock Miami, allowing young people to attend arts programs at such leading South Florida cultural institutions as GableStage, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the Bass Museum of Art on Miami Beach. Arts institutions donate the tickets to Culture Shock, which in turn sells them to students. Income from sales is funneled back into the marketing of Culture Shock programs.
In recent years, that programming has expanded beyond discount tickets to a program that presents its own performances, focused on increasing youth involvement in arts and culture. During the 2013-14 performance season, for instance, Culture Shock partnered with Miami-Dade County Public Schools' Cultural Passport Program to offer a free performance by acclaimed Philadelphia-based hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris, and dance workshops with his team for high school students at the Joseph Caleb Auditorium in Liberty City.
They followed that up with three additional presentations: Street Beat The Show; Spirit of Uganda; and Feet Don't Fail Me Now, with Rhythmic Circus, at locations across Miami-Dade County. In addition to traditional evening performances that were open to the general public, Culture Shock was able to offer field-trip performances, as well as master classes with the musicians and dancers — all free to youth attendees.
Culture Shock Miami kicks off its 10th season on Oct. 1 with the live-action graphic novel Intergalactic Nemesis, at South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center. It will offer free field-trip performances, workshops and master classes as well as regular evening performances for the general public — and of course their signature $5 tickets.

Cure Blisters Fast with Natural Remedies
Blisters that appear on the heel should not be popped as they may become infected. If needed, the fluid can be drained.
Have you ever broken in a new pair of shoes? If you have, then you've surely had the classic blisters on the heels and toes. They're horribly painful! What can we do? Don't forget these simple tips, they're sure to help you.
1. Help, I have a blister!
Narrow, tight-fitting shoes almost always end up causing us problems. Especially if they're new and we wear them for extended periods of time. A mistake many people make is popping the blisters as soon as they take off their shoes.
Why is this a mistake? Because it can lead to infection. When you take off your shoes and you see that the heel is inflamed and there's a blister, follow these steps:
- Fill a tub or basin with salt water: add 5 tablespoons of salt to 5 liters of hot water.
- While the water is still hot, submerge your feet. It may hurt at first, but after a few minutes you'll find relief.
- Relax for 15-20 minutes.
- Carefully dry your feet and check the blisters again. If they're large and it's difficult to get your shoes on, it would be better to drain the liquid. Do it with a needle that has been sterilized with alcohol. However, it's generally advised not to pop them; they heal better and aren't as likely to get infected.
2. A little relief: aloe vera
Aloe vera is great for treating an endless array of everyday problems. If you have blisters on your feet, then without a doubt, aloe vera is your best friend.
- Calms pain and stinging.
- Heals wounds.
- Blisters dry up more quickly and are less bothersome the following day.
To receive the benefits of this treatment, you only need 20 grams of aloe vera gel. It's the transparent gel from the plant's center. Apply to blisters and abrasions, cover the area with a bandage and leave to work overnight.
3. Baking soda, always good for blisters
Do you want to know how to cure blisters? Then write down these tips:
- Carefully wash your feet in a basin or tub of hot water, then add five sprigs of fresh rosemary; it's an excellent anti-inflammatory that helps eliminate any impurities or bacteria on the blister.
- Dry your feet.
- Take 200 ml of water and add 20 grams of baking soda and 40 ml hydrogen peroxide. Stir well.
- Generously apply the solution to the affected areas with a cotton ball. Continue applying until all of the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide solution is used.
- If done twice, the following day the blisters will be practically healed and abrasions won't be as noticeable.
4. A simple remedy with garlic
For this remedy, the only things that you'll need are three cloves of garlic and 100 grams of thyme. Would you like to know how to alleviate blisters and abrasions on the feet? Write this down:
- Heat 5 liters of water and add 100 grams of thyme. This medicinal plant is great for disinfecting and reducing inflammation, and is necessary to remove any impurities from the blisters or abrasions.
- Soak your feet in the hot water and relax for at least 20 minutes, then dry carefully.
- Look over your blisters and remember that if they aren't that big, it's best not to pop them to keep them from getting infected.
- Place three cloves of garlic into a mortar and once well crushed, soak into two bandages
- Apply this remedy to the area with blisters or abrasions. You already know that garlic is an amazing natural antibiotic that can treat any wound or abrasion.
- Let work for 15 minutes, then remove. No need to rinse. Leave the garlic to do its job.
To treat blisters and abrasions, choose the treatment that most appeals to you. It's important to first wash your feet, then apply the remedy of your choice, whether it be aloe vera or baking soda. These are simple remedies that you'll find really useful.

Ariana Grande Tries to Avoid Mac Miller Talk on 'Ellen'
Ariana Grande makes a pinky promise with Ellen DeGeneres while appearing on an episode of the host's show, airing on Wednesday (September 14).
The 23-year-old singer was asked questions about her boyfriend Mac Miller and she tried to avoid speaking about him.
"I don't know man. This is so crazy. I wasn't prepared for this," Ariana said when asked to talk about her love life.
"We performed together on your show and we were babies," Ariana said about when she and Mac worked together years ago. "This is so crazy. I've never had the like relationship talk on a show before."
When Ellen asked if she is happy, Ariana responded by saying, "Oh yea."

Mingling in the meadows were guests at the "Ottawa Hills Celebrates 2001" on Brookside Road. A giant tent provided shelter from the unseasonably cold, wet weather as guests sipped spirited beverages and grazed on delectable edibles from more than 30 area restaurants.
Meanwhile, shopping became a sport as guests bid on a variety of items including cookware, home furnishings, personal pampering services, eye surgery, health club memberships, wine, ballroom dance lessons, and astrology readings. Hand-crafted items by villagers drew bidding wars.
Just before dark, the skies cleared for nature's show - a spectacular double rainbow, which put guests in the mood for dancing to the sounds of Voodoo Libido.
In the mud with bare feet, they slipped and slid but kept going.
Mary Martin said guests told her "We don't mind mud and bad weather - it's the bugs we hate."
Spotted were Jim and Sue White, Randy and Peggy Wheeler, Scott and Kelly Barton, Burt and Shelly Jamieson, Steve and Mary Saddemi, John and Marty Skilliter, Frank and Sarah Bloomquist, Mike and Kristen Janowicz, Tom and Kate Backoff, Dave and Kate O'Connell, and Andrea and John Monoky.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Ottawa Hills Foundation, a building endowment for community and school projects and programs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!: Anisa, 5, left, and JulieAnne Warr, 4, snuggle up to their great-grandmother, Adaline Manley Richards at Ms. Richards' 90th birthday party.
Adaline Manley Richards celebrated her 90th birthday recently with family and friends at Astor Place, where she resides.
The nonagenarian, who grew up in Holland, Ohio, has seen it all - radio, television, airplanes, a man on the moon, and computers. And her accomplishments are vast too, including being a past matron of the Maumee Eastern Star chapter and a past mother adviser for the Maumee Rainbow Girls.
She drove a school bus and was the first bookkeeper for Astor Place, which was started by her family. Her grandson, John Stone, the administrator, joked "she gets a deal on rates.'' He recalled other special qualities, including being able to make "the world's best apple pie.'' Among the 125 guests were her nine grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and the hosts of the party Donna and Jack Stone, her daughter and son-in-law.
READY TO GO: Mary and Walt Kreuger, in the front, Gail and Mike Mahaffey, and Frances and Scott Parry, in the back, were planning their get-aways at the Great Escape party.
Tropical cocktails and exotic grazing in a Polynesian atmosphere - Who cares if it's cold and wet outside? Guests who attended "Book Your Great Escape Now!'' party Saturday evening in the Perrysburg home of Mike and Gail Mahaffey were toasty as "travel agents'' Scott and Francis Parry put dream vacations on the auction block, including excursion packages to Big Sky, Mont.; New York City; Washington; Hilton Head; West Virginia; Catawba Island; Michigan; France; Steamboat Springs, Colo., and the Caribbean islands.
And there were a few stay-at-home options, too - a home-cooked Italian dinner and a glass-blowing session with a local artist.
The evening was the seventh event of 27 scheduled parties that make up the "Maumee Valley Mix-Up 2001'' to benefit Maumee Valley Country Day School's Milton Endowment Fund for faculty/staff professional development.
On the guest list of 100 were Steve and Ann Stranahan, Deke and Hope Welles, Elizabeth and Charlie Hepker, and Dave and Hiliary White.
Hosts with the Mahaffeys were Becky and Dean Kasperzak, Walt and Mary Krueger, and the Parrys.
Members and guests of the Association of International Physicans of Northwest Ohio danced the night away Thursday evening at Toledo Country Club. The dance floor was packed as the Henna Blues band of Windsor played Indian Rap and other Eastern music, as well as favorite American tunes, including Sinatra's "New York, New York.''
Band members included four men from the United States and Africa and three daughters of Indian descent and their mother, who stole the show as she sang and taught guests to dance.
The dancing helped burn off the tasty ethnic and American food guests feasted on earlier in the evening. Among the 150 members and guests were president Mitzi Tamirisa and auxiliary president Virginia Crotte.
Rock'n'roll pioneer Chuck Berry is scheduled to be the headline entertainer for the Valentine Theatre Gala October 20, according to event chairperson Lisa Silverman. The announcement was made last Thursday at a kick-off reception in the Grand Lobby.
Mr. Berry will perform for 70 minutes with no intermission, followed by a 50's-themed party that will include food stations and dancing in the Historic Lobby and attached tent. "I hope people remember to wear their dancing shoes,'' Mrs. Silverman remarked.
AN ARTISTIC CROWD: Sculptor Albert Paley, left, Kate and Scot MacPherson, and Carol Bentley of the Anderton Bentley Fund took in the festivities in the Toledo Club as guests honored the opening of the Georgia and David K. Welles Sculpture Garden.
Cold weather and overcast skies were no deterrent for the 300-plus guests at the opening celebration of the Georgia and David K. Welles Sculpture Garden Friday evening on the front lawn of the Toledo Museum of Art.
The ceremony, open to the public, featured Raymond Sokolov, editor of the Leisure and Arts page of the Wall Street Journal, as well as honored guests and sculptors whose works are represented in the gardens.
Director Roger Berkowitz' comment that "David and Georgia Welles represent the founders of the second century of the Toledo Museum of Art as Scott and Florence Libbey were the founders of the first century" was the prize comment recalled by most guests.
The dedication was brief, guests strolled the gardens oohing and aahing. Herb Metzger remarked "Wow!. fantastic" of the landscape-enhanced sculptures. Mary Lou Fox exclaimed "the museum is making waves with high energy."
Associate director of operations Carol Bintz wondered if the art would cause traffic jams.
Meanwhile European art curator Larry Nichols made like a sculpture when no one was looking and stood on his head.
A who's who name-dropping group of power players retired to the Toledo Club for a special celebration dinner. Spotted were the Bentley clan, including Gill, Tom, James, and Carol - her husband, Pete Bentley, came to the dedication, then rushed off to his Yale reunion.
But their daughter and son-in-law Kate and Scot MacPherson of Boston escorted her to the dinner. The MacPhersons will be moving back to Perrysburg in July.
The Hector Guimard "Paris Metro Entrance" sculpture was purchased with funds from the Anderton Bentley Fund in memory of Anderton Lewis Bentley and Hilda Grosh Bentley.
Also seen were Sara Jane and Bill DeHoff, Bob and Jane Abspach, Fran and Dick Anderson, Marion and Eb Knight, Tim Valko, Jim Moore, Helen and Greg Emmert, George and Kathy Jones, and former director David Steadman and his wife, Kathy.

Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Juliette Walma van der Molen graduated (cum laude) in developmental psychology and research methods at the University of Amsterdam and obtained a PhD degree in media education at Leiden University. After working at the Education Department at Leiden University, she switched to the Communication Science Department at the University of Amsterdam, where she received two consecutive postdoc research grants to work as a research fellow of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and in 2005 was appointed Young Academy Member of the KNAW. During those years, Juliette's research predominantly focused on young people's learning from different media sources and the role of emotions, identification and attitudinal processes in educational and communication practices. Gradually, she started to focus on young people's learning of science through different sources, their images of and attitudes towards science and technology, and the possibilities to professionalize teachers and implement new educational strategies that stimulate children's creative and scientific thinking talents.
To be able to further develop these research contents, in 2009, she switched to the University of Twente as an associate professor at the Institute for Teacher Education, Science Communication & School Practices (ELAN) at the Faculty of Behavioral and Management Sciences. In 2010, she established the Science-Hub 'Twente Academy Young' that facilitates joint projects between university researchers, schools, and regional science centers in the field of science and technology education. In addition to a variety of short-term and long-term projects, the Science Hub aims to actively involve and professionalize primary and secondary schools and their teachers. Since 2011, Juliette also is the founder and director of the Research Center for Science Education and Talent Development (SETD) at the University of Twente, where she was appointed honorary professor in 2012. The research center focuses on research into the development of children's and teachers' skills and attitudes, effect studies of interventions, and research into the context factors that may affect successful talent development in science and technology and inquiry learning, the development of new measurement instruments, and new instruction technologies that may facilitate scientific and creative thinking strategies. A major goal of the center is to translate results of academic research into practical training, methods, and policy advises. From May 2014 until December 2015 Juliette served as interim head of the Institute for Teacher Education.
In line with her interdisciplinary research approach, Juliette's research was published in a variety of scientific journals. She was editor of several books, is a frequent lecturer and trainer for education professionals, and serves on a number of review and policy committees where she aims to put theoretical expertise into effective practice, such as the Supervisory Board (Raad van Toezicht) of the National Science Center NEMO, the Academic Board of the Center of Expertise for Technical Education (TechYourFuture), the Innovation Committee of the Platform Beta Techniek, or the Committee on Primary and Secondary Education at the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).

Othello Dichotomy Journals
Lesson 8 of 12
Objective: SWBAT demonstrate their ability to verbally negotiate significant portions of a text by working collaboratively to find dichotomies in Othello Act 1.
We'll start class with our usual reading time. I will read on my own as my students read their own texts during this time so as to participate in the task with them.
So, as I mentioned in yesterday's reflection, yesterday's lesson did not work the way I wanted it to work. To make up for that, I will do a little redo discussion to make sure the students get what I want them to undestand from the two articles we read and to provide a little set up of the significance of location on the story. This will also, hopefully, provide a nice segue into the dichotomy activity we will be working on the rest of the day.
Resources (1)
At the end of Othello, my students will be writing a literary analysis paper. To help them prepare for this and to assist in their reading comprehension, I am going to ask them to keep a running tally of the dichotomies within the play. By the end of the play, they will have plenty of textual evidence (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.2) to trace and analyze a theme. This should sound familiar--we did something a little less complex with Persepolis, which was meant to prepare them for this.
To make sure they understand what they are up against, I will go over the assignment and the sample journal entry with the whole class.
Resources (1)
Once we've gone over the assignment, I will have the students move into the Faulkner squares to review Act 1 and look for dichotomies. To keep the students on task, I will provide them with a graphic organizer to fill in as they work.
While they are doing this, I am going to wander the room to listen in on their discussions. This is a great time for me to see how they question each other, search the text and move conversation forward based on the themes they are looking for (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.9-10.1c). It will also be a good chance for me to see how they are comprehending the text.
Resources (1)
Wrap up and Next Steps
After a giving my students some time to work through the Act and complete their graphic organizers in their Faulkner squares, I will ask for any questions about the assignment and then ask the students to complete the assignment on the graphic organizer for homework over the weekend.

Actress Katie Holmes has parted ways with her fashion collaborator Jeanne Yang, five years after launching their joint clothing label.
The Batman Begins star teamed up with her stylist best friend to create Holmes & Yang in 2009, but their professional relationship is now no more.
Holmes' representative says, "The Holmes & Yang partnership has ended."
Sources claim the pressures of running a business together while living on opposite coasts contributed to the split.
An insider tells the New York Post, "Katie's living in New York and Jeanne's living in L.A., which hasn't made it easier."
The status of the Holmes & Yang label remains unknown, although items from the brand are no longer on sale at luxury department store Barneys New York, where it was previously being sold exclusively.

Yes, I have seen a photo of the Tulsa Orpheum. John must have had an Oklahoma connection. I'd be interested in seeing more photos of Eberson's Oklahoma work since good photos of these theatres have been relatively unknown until now. Any detail photos of the Ritz?

Ever since Amy Tan's 1989 debut, The Joy Luck Club, spent eight months on the New York Times bestseller list, all her subsequent novels have been translated into dozens of languages and sold worldwide in their millions. This, without any shadow of doubt, is the fate that awaits her latest offering, an exciting, funny and thought-provoking story that should keep book clubs in conversation for months.
Saving Fish from Drowning begins with a Camus quote: "The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding." It is a theme Tan returns to again and again as she tells the tale of a group of well-meaning Americans who disappear while on holiday in the military dictatorship of Burma.
Her narrator is Bibi Chen, a well-known San Francisco socialite and dealer in Asian antiques. Bibi was to have been the tour guide for the "Following Buddha's Footsteps" expedition, for which she had devised an itinerary starting in south-west China and travelling south on the Burma Road. But, a few days before the tour sets off, she is found dead in a "freak accident". All Bibi can do now is follow the progress of her hapless charges from beyond the grave.
There are 12 in this motley West Coast crew, including an earnest black woman who runs an African-American non-profit organisation; a soused, British-born TV celebrity and dog-trainer; a couple of bickering academics trying for a baby; a Marin county hypochondriac with nice breasts; a shaggy-haired, dope-smoking bamboo farmer with his 15-year-old son; an elegant Chinese-American art curator with her 12-year-old daughter; and Bibi's last-minute stand-in as tour guide, an eager-to-please gay graphic artist and therapy junkie.
What makes Tan's selection especially delicious is that her well-travelled, well-informed characters all consider themselves a cut above their national stereotypes. Yet, with their baseball caps, camcorders and bulging wallets, they're just like any group of loud American tourists you've ever seen. At a holy site in China, they mistake the revered Grotto of Female Genitalia for a public urinal. At a roadside restaurant they see egrets in a field where there are, in fact, farmers tilling the land. In a remote village with no sanitation and no heating, they remark on the wonders of a peaceful life, free of corporate stress and traffic jams. As the omniscient Bibi puts it, "That's what we visitors love, a rustic romanticism and antiquated prettiness, no electric power lines, telephone poles, or satellite television dishes to mar the view. Seek and you shall find your illusions through the magic of tourism."
This fondness for rustic romanticism comes in for a severe test when the Americans get taken for a "Christmas surprise" deep in the jungle and end up kidnapped by the Karen, the original people of Burma. The tribe has decided that the group's lanky 15-year-old with a fondness for card tricks is in fact their own Jesus-like figure, the Younger White Brother, or the Reincarnated One. The tribe persists in this view even when the all-too-human teenager succumbs to malaria and fails to make them invisible to the junta running the country, whose leader dreams of the day when the only Karen left in Burma will be stuffed in glass cases in a museum.
It is a credit to Tan that she shows the wily locals as being equally as vulnerable to misunderstanding and misapprehension as the gullible Yanks, and it makes her book much more engaging and nuanced than a one-way liberal guilt-trip would have been. The same nuances are at play when the group comes to realise that their rescue from the jungle risks exposing the tribe to the military. As they struggle with a series of morally ugly questions - whom to save? Can they save themselves and the tribe? - Tan broadens the issue to encompass that hoary old political chestnut: sanctions or engagement? While one half of the group can't just stand by and do nothing, the other has a problem with killing people as "an unfortunate consequence of helping them. You know, like Vietnam, Bosnia" - or, one could add, Iraq.
Tan's own position comes through in the metaphor behind the book's title. When Buddhist fishermen scoop up the catch of the day, they say they are "saving fish from drowning", a task they always begin with reverence and hope, despite the inevitable outcome for the fish. Just like the rights and wrongs of doing good, this metaphor is "a brain twister, one of those silhouettes that was a beautiful girl with a hat, then a crone with a crooked nose". It all depends on how you view it - an equivocation that is as subtle and gripping as Amy Tan's masterful novel.

The companies allegedly had issued health insurance policies that covered individuals on OFAC's List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the SDN List). In general, U.S. companies are prohibited from performing any transaction with or involving parties on the SDN List. OFAC updates the SDN List frequently, and often without warning. In this case, after OFAC designated the three parties at issue, neither company (nor their third-party administrators) screened the policyholders against the SDN List. As a result, the companies failed to identify and block the policies and premium payments in which one or more of the SDNs had an interest.
