Over the past few years, I have changed the way I do some things in my cooking and around my home. Many of them I actually started as a way to save money while going through two seasons of my husbands unemployment. I was ecstatic when I found out that I was actually making some healthier choices too! I'm still learning what a healthier lifestyle looks like for me, my home and my family, but I have been pleasantly surprised that it is possible to live healthier and actually save money!
Simple Tips for Living Healthier on a Budget
1. Make meals from scratch as much as possible. I started making from scratch when I realized that buying ingredients can actually be cheaper than buying pre-made. This does not mean that I never go out to eat or that I make every single thing from scratch. It simply means that I do my best to make from scratch when I can. Plus there's the added benefit of knowing exactly what is in my food.
2. Start replacing artificial ingredients and processed foods. This goes along with making from scratch, but even scratch made foods can have these kind of ingredients in them. I am learning that artificial and processed ingredients are much less healthy than their more natural counterparts.
However, I decided not to try to replace everything all at once. Instead, I am slowly changing a few things at a time. I want this to be a permanent change in lifestyle not just some fad that I keep up with for a few months then go back to my old ways.
Pick one or two things and start there. Here's two things I have changed recently:
- I ditched store-bought coffee creamer. Most mornings I make my vanilla au lait. Want more money-saving coffee ideas? Check out my post on how to make coffee-house quality coffee at home.
- I am also using more butter and coconut oil in my cooking to replace unhealthy and artificial fats or oils.
3. Buy more fruits and vegetables. Fresh produce is an important part of a healthy diet. I know it seems like it costs a lot compared to so many other processed junk foods but think of how much more nutrient rich and more filling it is. So instead of reaching for a bag of greasy chips that will leave you hungry and lethargic in an hour, grab an apple and get some fiber too!
You can also help preserve the freshness by freezing anything you won't eat right away. Then use the frozen fruit in smoothies and the vegetables in soups, stews or other cooked dishes. My main tip for saving on produce is to buy in season and on sale.
Non organic produce is also likely grown with lots of pesticides in it so buy organic if you can. When choosing produce, compare prices. Oftentimes the organic is actually a lot closer in price than you would think. I recently bought a bag of organic apples for just a few cents more than non-organic and I noticed the organic grapes did not cost much more either. Use this dirty dozen list from the Environmental Working Group as a place to start. The dirty dozen is the most likely to contain pesticides so try to get those organic if it fits in your budget.
4. Make your own household cleaners. Some cleaners I make include laundry soap and all-purpose cleaner, both are simple, effective and inexpensive. Many of the ingredients in homemade cleaners are also less harsh and much cheaper, especially if you buy a large enough quantity that will last a while. Some common cleaning ingredients are vinegar, baking soda, borax and washing soda.
5. Switch out disposable products for re-usable ones. This is a no brainer as far as savings goes. You only have to buy or make what you need once and keep re-using it. It might be a bit of an investment in the beginning, but think of all that you save in the long run. Some ideas would be to use cloth napkins, rags for cleaning, re-usable containers or bags instead of sandwich bags and cloth diapers if you have a baby.
One of the first disposable things I switched out were dish sponges. Not only did they start to smell disgusting after a few washes, but they started to disintegrate too. So I started using crocheted dish cloths instead. I have four or five that I switch between and wash them with my towels in the laundry. If you don't know how to crochet, a dishcloth is one of the easiest things to start with if you want to learn. Otherwise, I'm sure you can find someone willing to make you one. My sister gave my first couple before I learned to make my own.

Resources that have helped me
As far as learning to live on a strict budget, there were three books that helped me the most; Dave Ramsey's Complete Guide to Money, The Money Saving Mom's Budget and Americas Cheapest Family Get's You Right on the Money. These three books helped me to evaluate what areas I could cut my spending even when I didn't think there was any way to cut back. For more about how these books have helped me, check out my post about my top three money management book recommendations.
When it comes to healthy food, one book that changed my perspective on how I eat was Real Food for the Real Homemaker by Jami Balmet, Elsie Callender and Jaime Ramsey. I had already been doing many of the things I mentioned above, but reading this book helped push me to think seriously about what a real food diet looked like for me. I love that the information is straightforward and easy to follow but also filled with grace. I've often felt guilty or pressured by so-called health advice but this book made me feel empowered to make wiser choices.
Real Food on a Budget by Stephanie Langford is another great book for learning to eat well and not break the bank. I've just started reading it and I'm excited about all the book has to offer. In the book, Stephanie addresses budgeting, meal planning, cooking from scratch, buying in bulk and much more. Here's a great quote from the book:
If you have ever wished there was a comprehensive resource to help you on your way to healthy living but not cost your hundreds of dollars, I have some good news. The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle (<–SALE IS NOW OVER) is available this week and it's only $29.97! I know I've mentioned it often, but it's only because I know how helpful it has already been for me and I don't want you to miss out.
**The Healthy Living Bundle sale is now over**
The bundle is packed with resources that will be especially helpful if you want to jump-start your way to a healthier lifestyle. The two books mentioned above are also a part of the bundle! Another awesome part of the bundle that would be perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about healthy living, is the online conference called coffee table conversations where you'll get to be a part of 12 sessions on topics like eating well on a tight budget, real food for beginners and greening your household. I honestly think I might be the most excited about this part of the bundle!
My one piece of advice to you if you want to make some of these changes too, is that you start small. Pick one thing and work on that. If you are not sure where to start, think about what might be the most beneficial for you. It might be something simple like switching out soda with water or eating healthy snacks instead of junk food. You don't have to do it all at once. In fact you can't do it all and if you try to, you are inevitably setting yourself up for failure. However, making one or two changes at a time will help you stick to it long-term and you will be glad you did!
Here's to learning to live healthier!

This creamy dish takes about the time to make as it takes to boil water and cook the pasta. The sauce is tangy and cheesy. My family eats a lot of pasta, a lot. It's fun to have a quick creamy white sauce. This recipe uses low fat dairy, so it feels light but still decadent. And because the cheese still has bite, you won't miss the meat!
As organic as possible:
1 pound pasta (rotini or what have you)
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1/2 onion, diced small
1 tsp dried basil
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1- 8 oz block reduced fat Cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan
1 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp freshly grated black pepper
2-3 Tbsp low fat milk
Bring water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions. In the meantime, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a sauce pan. Add the diced onion and let cook for about 2 minutes, add dried basil and let infuse in the oil (if you prefer fresh, double the amount and add at the end). Add the cheeses, garlic, salt, red pepper, black pepper and milk. Allow the cheese mixture and seasonings to melt together and combine. If the sauce seems thick, add another tablespoon or so of milk. When pasta is cooked and drained, the sauce should be completely melted and creamy. Top the pasta with sauce and serve!

Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is the mother of all temples and widely believed to be the largest religious building in the world. It is the only temple that faces West, which is symbolically the direction of death. Therefore it is commonly accepted that Angkor Wat was both a temple and a mausoleum for Suryavarman II. The bas reliefs and beautiful apsaras (dancing fairies) make Angkor Wat stand out for more than just it's size and wonderfully restored exterior.

"The Pentagon's New Map. War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century" by Thomas P. M. Barnett
"The Pentagon's New Map. War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century" by Thomas P. M. Barnett
G. P. Putnam's Sons | 2004 | ISBN: 0425202399 | 449 pages | File type: PDF | 6 mb
A groundbreaking reexamination of U.S. and global security, certain to be one of the most talked about books of the year. For anyone seeking to understand the Iraqs, Afghanistans, and Liberias of the present and future, the intimate new links between foreign policy and national security, and the operational realities of the world as it exists today, The Pentagon's New Map is a template, a Rosetta stone.
http://ifile.it/iabyjde/PentNewMapgPG.rar �| � http://www.easy-share.com/1912068639/PentNewMapgPG.rar
Since the end of the Cold War, America's national security establishment has been searching for a new operating theory to explain how this seemingly "chaotic" world actually works. Gone is the clash of blocs, but replaced by what?
Thomas Barnett has the answers. A senior military analyst with the U.S. Naval War College, he has given a constant stream of briefings over the past few years, and particularly since 9/11, to the highest of high-level civilian and military policymakers—and now he gives it to you. The Pentagon's New Map is a cutting-edge approach to globalization that comb
ines security, economic, political, and cultural factors to do no less than predict and explain the nature of war and peace in the twenty-first century.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish that combines lists and books. This weeks topic is… top ten experiences meeting authors. At least that's my spin on it.
I've gone to a lot of book events and I've had some terrible and some awesome experiences with authors. Here are the authors I've met who left the best impression.
D.J. MacHale – Seriously, this dude is awesome. He always takes a minute to chat and is so upbeat. I've met him twice and had a wonderful experience both times.
Laurie Halse Anderson – She was the first author I ever met. I was 15, the event was slow, and she took a ton of time to talk to me about my writing. It was an experience that helped keep my love of reading and writing alive through high school.
Maureen Johnson – We had a staring contest. It was amazing.
Jason Reynolds – He was super nice! I met him before I'd read his books, and meeting him moved him up my TBR.
Stephanie Perkins – She was so sweet and made me feel comfortable, even though I was super nervous meeting her.
Victoria Schwabb – She's on the list because she picked me as the winner of the costume contest.
Harlan Coben – SO NICE. When I asked if I could take a picture, he made a joke about how a picture of him was boring and insisted I take the picture with him.
Maggie Stiefvater – I was SO nervous, but she seemed amused by my ridiculousness, which made it memorable instead of humiliating.
David Levithan – I've met him a few times, and he is so nice that it would be impossible to leave him off this list.
Leigh Bardugo – I adore her, and she didn't seem too overwhelemed when I fangirled out, which is something I don't usually do at author signings, but I COULDN'T HELP IT because it was Leigh Bardugo.

It's not just the State and Defense departments that are reeling this month from leaked documents. The Environmental Protection Agency now has some explaining to do, too. In place of dodgy dealings with foreign leaders, this case involves the German agrichemical giant Bayer; a pesticide with an unpronounceable name, clothianidin; and an insect species crucial to food production (as well as a food producer itself), the honeybee. And in lieu of a memo leaked to a globetrotting Australian, this one features a document delivered to a long-time Colorado beekeeper.
All of that, plus my favorite crop to fixate on: industrial corn, which blankets 88 million acres of farmland nationwide and produces a bounty of protein-rich pollen on which honeybees love to feast.
via Leaked document shows EPA allowed bee-toxic pesticide despite own scientists' red flags | Grist.

Date: 7 Aug 2014, Time 18:00
After our rest-filled spring break, the Digital Pond is back in action and we are hitting the ground running with our next event. After feedback from many Ponderers we have decided to revisit the theme of responsive web design.
2013 was the Year of Responsive Web Design, according to Mashable. More people than ever are visiting websites from mobile devices—recent estimates say as many as 40%. It's also easier than ever to accommodate mobile visitors, but how can we go even further and make sure they're getting the best possible user experience?
At this summer's edition of the Digital Pond, we'll hear professionals share their experiences with responsive web design, their knowledge of current best practices, and their predictions for the future. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions of the experts and network with lots of likeminded people.
Jeremy Keith (@adactio) lives in Brighton where he serves as Rear Admiral of the Responsive Fleet at design agency Clearleft. He's the curator of the dConstruct conference as well as Responsive Day Out, and he organised the world's first Science Hack Day. Jeremy has written three books about JavaScript and HTML5.
Sally Jenkinson (@sjenkinson) is a freelance technical consultant based in Colchester. She has worked with a range of brands and digital agencies on projects for clients including Nokia, Electronic Arts, BT, and UTV. Sally aims to get people talking and thinking about technology in a creative way, and to use it to improve user experiences.
18:00 – Networking, snacks and free bar
18:30 – Sally Jenkinson, Technical Consultant
19:00 – Jeremy Keith, Founder & Technical Director at Clearleft
19:30 – Q+A and networking

I am told this is one of my biggest weaknesses in dating... I don't think it is right to simply side with someone simply because they are my girlfriend- I side with who I think is right. Pretty much every girl I have dated and sort of talked about our relationship aferwards brought this up. Not necessarily as a deal breaker, just something that bothered them enough to mention.
Not sure if this is more a problem women have with men more often than the other way, or it is just me here as well.
Most Helpful Guy
Well while I might not always voice my disagreeing opinion, I am not going to magically agree just because they are my SO. If they cannot discuss it then that puts a strain on the relationship; we also don't have to agree on everything.00|00|0
This question did not get a lot of attention. But thanks for mho.

DEAR MIDLIFE BACHELOR: I am 45 years old and I have been married 28 years. I have 3 grown children, 1 of which lives with us with her 2 young daughters. My 48 year old husband told me 3 weeks ago he was interested in another woman. It progressed very quickly to be in love with her and her wanting to have his baby. They have been sexually active together. My husband said it was intercourse 1 time and oral sex the rest - not that it makes a difference.
His interest is a 23 year old married co-worker, who understands him and makes him feel good. He tells me that this is a result of me always wanting to argue about everything. And yes we do argue sometimes, I never thought it was that bad. My husband has always been very negative with and about me, and in the past few years I think I just had my fill and started being very negative about him as well. He really doesn't remember all the things he has done to me, only that I have been mean to him. He tells me he loves me and he doesn't want to lose me or his family. He just needs time and space to work this through. I have researched MIDLIFE CRISIS and I feel fairly sure this is what is happening to him. I love him with all my heart, and I want to save our marriage - I just don't know how much more I can withstand before I go crazy. He comes home, and takes a shower, and gets dressed to go see her. He talks to and texts her on the phone right in front of me. He gets very mad if I get upset about any of this. He
had a moment of being normal yesterday. I had asked him several times to look up "midlife crisis" and he finally did. He said OMG I have been so mean. He can't understand why. However with all this been said, he is not ready to stop his affair. (at least he did stay home last night - maybe that is the beginning of the end of the affair?) He is listening to a totally different kind of music, playing loud with heavy bass. He is drinking every night. He is not paying bills like he used to. The company that he works for also employees our 27 year old son, and two of my cousins. My husband told me yesterday that people have started asking him if he is involved with this young woman. I hate that not only for myself, but for my son. I am in counseling right now. I am a talker and a fixer by nature. I don't know what to do. PLEASE HELP. This is so not my husband.
MIDLIFE BACHELOR ANSWER: Thanks for writing in - I am sorry to hear you are going through this. It is obvious to me that you love your husband very much - as you are you putting up with a lot right now. This definitely sounds like he is going through a midlife crisis - but I don't think that adds any legitimacy to what he is doing to you.
You wrote to me looking for advice. I cannot tell you what to do – but I can give you some things to consider. I think your husband is doing what he is doing right in front of you because he knows HE CAN … he knows there are NO CONSEQUENCES … and he knows YOU WILL BE THERE FOR HIM when and if his relationship with this woman ends. In other words, he is the one currently in control, and he knows it. If I were you, I would take control of the situation - and change all the rules, effective immediately. I don't know your financial and employment situation - so it might not be as easy as what I'm thinking ... but my best advice to you is - don't allow yourself to continue to be walked on. Personally, I'd kick his @ss right out the front door - and toss his belongings out on the front lawn … but that's just me!

3.55 Downgrade with minimus help?
I have the files that's on the main page, but i'm confused when it says use the downgrade dongle?
Is that just PSGRADE that was the same file used for the 3.50 downgrade?
I only ask because the psgrade page says it does not work for 3.55?
01-17-2011 #2wilpac05 Guest
downgrader dongles are just jb devices with downgrader firmware on it. I think the original jailbreak couldn't be updated so they so they sold a downgrade dongle.
01-18-2011 #3dyceast Guest
But it also says a D.I.Y version, and thats what i'm wondering, is that D.I.Y version PSGRADE? I've used PSGRADE for minimus before on 3.50 to 3.41, but want to make sure it can also be used with 3.55?
01-18-2011 #4wilpac05 Guest
yes, you can use the minimus, the D.I.Y are like teensy
sorry also if you needed another version of psgrade for 3.55 then there would be one
01-18-2011 #5ps3haze Guest
Flash the PSgrade dongle with the 3.50 downgrade flash - this will put the PS3 in service mode.
Put the 3.55 Lv2diag.self FILE 1 on the USB key and the 3.55 downgrade firmware (3.56 which is a 3.41 spoof)
Now your PS3 is running 3.41 but it thinks it is now 3.56. From here you can downgrade again to 3.41 modified and use the recovery menu to flash 3.41 OFW.
For the most part you cannot flash to a lower firmware then what it left the factory with. My slim had 3.40 on it. I tried a downgrade to 3.15 and it failed so I put the the 3.41 modified pup on the stick with Lv2diag.self FILE 1 and it got the ps3 going again.
best of luck.

Charlotte Crosby has sent temperatures soaring with another X-rated social media post.
The Geordie Shore star has never been one to shy away from showing off her smoking hot body and on Tuesday she treated fans to a scantily-clad snap of her behind.
Posing in just a pair of skimpy blue knickers with her back to camera, the star can be seen sticking her bronzed derrière in the air.
The star captioned it: "BELFIE #APerfectHandful #3MinuteBumBlitz."
Charlotte's latest raunchy Instagram offering comes after she nearly broke the internet with a very saucy shower snap.
The reality babe shocked fans with the X-rated picture showing her starkers and leaning forward to show off her trim stomach and toned legs.
Thankfully, she popped a heart emoji over her private parts to cover her modesty.
Charlotte was instantly identifiable thanks to a giant rose tattoo covering her right upper thigh.
Talking about the revealing photo, she later said it was a toned down version of what she actually wanted to post.
"That wasn't even that bad you know. I had to crop it. I was gonna do a full one with monkeys over my nipples. But I thought, 'nah that's too far', so I cropped it."
Referring to her Geordie Shore antics, she continued: "That's not even bad, I got my vagina out on national TV! People forget about that."

If you have not yet been to the Common Ground Country Fair hosted by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), you'll want to check it out this year.
In the Energy and Shelter area of the Fair, MOFGA provides a forum for exhibitors to educate, demonstrate and showcase new products and technologies that aid in the conservation of resources through more efficient use of materials, whether new or recycled.
The area encourages the use of traditional technologies in more environmentally sound ways, and demonstrates how a product can be reused, recycled or easily and safely dismantled and disposed of.
Green Energy Maine publisher Kay Mann will be speaking in the Energy Speakers' Tent on two occasions during the 2014 fair. The first will be on Friday, September 19 at 2:00 pm, on the subject of "How You Can Buy Green Electric Power". The second will be on Sunday, September 21 at 4:00 pm, and the subject will be "Sustainable Home Heating Options".
Whether a veteran fair-goer or a neophyte, we all ask that you make every effort to reduce your carbon footprint from traveling to Unity by either carpooling or using one of the alternative options provided by the fair: park and bike or park and ride the train. You can even get a $2 discount off your admission by using these ways to get there. The alternative is a tragic irony: to keep your vehicle idling in traffic for an hour in order to go hear about all the ways we can green our lifestyles.

MLB Unwilling To Move Up Orioles Game For Thursday Night Ravens Home Opener
MLB appears unwilling to move the Orioles' Sept. 5 night game that would conflict with the Ravens' home opener. MLB Senior VP/Club Relations & Scheduling Katy Feeney, with little enthusiasm for the NFL's request for the baseball game to have an earlier start, said, "The Orioles game has been scheduled for quite some time." Asked if the issue was now dead, Feeney replied, "Nothing is simple," though she did not elaborate. MLB is opposed because the Orioles and White Sox each have games the night before in other cities, and generally teams do not have travel between a night game followed by a day game. Because the Orioles and Ravens share parking lots, hosting the games concurrently is not an option. The NFL team that wins the Super Bowl since '04 has opened the season at home on the Thursday night before the traditional Sunday afternoon kickoffs for other teams, replete with big celebratory events. That Thursday night falls on the same night of the Orioles game against the White Sox, and the NFL has ruled out holding the game a day earlier because that is the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, "I have talked to Major League Baseball, I have called (MLB Commissioner) Bud Selig twice and spoken to him about that. We are trying to work out an accommodation to allow the Orioles' game to happen earlier in the afternoon and the Ravens to celebrate their Super Bowl championship with their fans at home on Thursday night." Sources said that Ravens President Dick Cass also has reached out to the Orioles (Fisher & Kaplan, Staff Writers). The Washington Post's Mark Maske noted it appears if the conflict "can't be resolved, Ravens would prefer to play on the road Sept. 5 rather than at home that Sunday night" (TWITTER.com, 3/19).
WHO BLINKS FIRST: Ravens Owner Steve Bisciotti said that the team has "offered to compensate their baseball neighbors for any lost revenue." However, in Baltimore, Jeff Zrebiec in a front-page piece cites a source as saying that the Orioles' "reticence to move the game to earlier in the day is a baseball issue, not a financial one." Orioles officials "don't think they could get the required approval from the White Sox, the league and the players' association to change the game time." Feeney said, "It doesn't just involve the Orioles. There is another team." Bisciotti said, "In fairness to Major League Baseball and the Angeloses, we're trying to dump a pretty big problem on them and we're asking them to make a lot of concessions that will benefit us and potentially harm them though it doesn't necessarily harm them." He added, "The bottom line is if they wanted to do it, they would find a way to do it. From the Ravens and the NFL standpoint, we'll do whatever we have to do in order to keep that tradition" (Baltimore SUN, 3/19). CBSSPORTS.com's Clark Judge noted Orioles Owner Peter Angelos would "have to sign off on the move, and there are two things you should know about the guy: 1) He takes his time making decisions, and 2) he's stubborn." A source said, "I know Peter Angelos, and he'll dig in like a tick's head in a dog. So there's no use in appealing to public opinion, because it won't work." Angelos has the "leverage here, and so does" MLB. Neither "has to budge." But the NFL "does, and it's trying." A source said that MLB is "willing to take the hit on this one, though it's Angelos who is unmoved" (CBSSPORTS.com, 3/18).
TIME TO TAKE CHARGE: ESPN's Trey Wingo noted that if fans can "read through the tea leaves" with Goodell's comments, he was "saying, 'Well, I've called the Orioles twice. It's on you guys!' That's him saying, 'Hey, we're reaching out. You guys haven't responded.'" Wingo: "He's putting the squeeze on them a little bit." ESPN's Tedy Bruschi said, "I hope ... they can work it out because that's such a special night for the world champion." Wingo: "It's an event, and with all due respect to baseball and the Orioles, you play 81 home games in baseball. You only get eight in the regular season in the NFL, and you want this one to be at home to kickoff the season" ("NFL Live," ESPN, 3/18). YAHOO SPORTS' Michael Silver wrote, "With all due (dis)respect to the displaced national pastime, it's time for the Sheriff of Park Avenue to walk all over Selig." Something is "going to have to give." And that "something -- sorry, baseball fans -- is not going to be America's most popular spectator sport." Goodell to his credit was "relatively polite when questioned about the conundrum." But if Selig "won't play ball, here are three words of advice for Goodell: Make it happen." Silver: "Does Selig seriously think he's going to win this battle against the NFL?" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 3/18).
Ross Will Not Threaten To Move Dolphins To Gain Funding For Sun Life Renovation
Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross said that he "won't be expressly or implicitly threatening relocation in order to get a public contribution toward the renovation effort" to Sun Life Stadium, according to Mike Florio of PRO FOOTBALL TALK. Ross said, "Having been brought up in South Florida and loving the Dolphins I would find that very hard to do. I mean, some times when you're dealing with adversity and people are giving you a hard time you say, 'Hey I'm not bound to stay here.' But really I'm not threatening anybody. The Dolphins belong in South Florida and they are going to stay in South Florida?" Florio wrote that is "good news for Dolphins fans, but perhaps bad news for the effort to get Dolphins and non-Dolphins fans alike to support the effort to raise local hotel taxes by one percent." Ross "obviously believes they should." Ross: "I'm prepared to put a lot of money into [the renovations]. But I think everywhere you see a new stadium you see the public supporting it. And that is one thing [that] has not been supported in Miami. They did the Marlins stadium and that's probably one of the major reasons we're having problems" (PROFOOTBALLTALK.com, 3/18). Ross added, "That stadium really needed some help, and I think you have to really enhance fan experience to bring them out to the stadium because it is so good at home today. So I think it was very, very important for South Florida, being such an aspirational city and growing and really becoming one of the great cities in America, that it has a first-class stadium. We put together a plan that I'm very excited about (that) more or less take that stadium and make it a new stadium, a very iconic stadium putting a canopy on it." The Dolphins have had trouble selling tickets in recent years, and Ross said the "easiest way to fill up a stadium is to have a winning team year in and year out" ("PFT," NBC Sports Network, 3/18).
BIG-GAME HUNTER: In Miami, Armando Salguero notes it has "become clear" to Ross there the only way the Dolphins land Super Bowl L is if the team wins "approval to upgrade Sun Life Stadium." Ross yesterday said, "The question is can we get approved. I do know without a renovated or modernized stadium, Miami is not going to get Super Bowls." Ross said that the upgrades to Sun Life Stadium would "make the facility feel like new." He "definitely thinks South Florida will get more bang for the buck than New Orleans got from its post-Katrina upgrades" to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome (MIAMI HERALD, 3/19). In West Palm Beach, Ben Volin notes a stadium upgrade has been Ross' "main off-the-field concern" this offseason. But Ross is "planning stadium upgrades," whether or not "the referendum passes" to raise the hotel tax. The vote is "likely to be held in May, right before NFL owners vote on the location of Super Bowl 50." He said that Sun Life Stadium will have "high-density Internet access." Ross: "Cellphones will work in the stadium, and you'll be able to do a lot of the streaming and multi-tasking" (PALM BEACH POST, 3/19).
WELCOME TO THE 305: In Ft. Lauderdale, Omar Kelly writes the Dolphins have been the "most aggressive and active NFL team during free agency, remodeling the team's roster." The Dolphins already have spent $185M in "total value of the deals luring five players, and re-signing five members of last year's team." What "scares the rest of the NFL is that Miami still has another $19-20 million to spend on free agents, and the team's 10 draft picks" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 3/19). The POST's Volin writes there is "no question that Ross is excited about the future of both" QB Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins, who "made a flurry of moves in free agency." Ross: "You can see where the NFL is going -- it's about speed and passing game and explosiveness and excitement, and you can see that's what we're developing. I don't think we're done" (PALM BEACH POST, 3/19). In West Palm Beach, Greg Stoda writes the Dolphins' "tactic has been to be a big element in the free-agent marketplace." They chose to "spend, largely, on replacements rather than holdovers." Stoda: "But did the Dolphins get better? It's the all-in risk of such a substantial plan." The man who "deserves credit" for the Dolphins' new look is GM Jeff Ireland, who has been "much maligned through the years." He has been the "point man on the imports and exports" (PALM BEACH POST, 3/19). Ross said, "I don't go out there and say, 'Hey, I want this guy or I want that guy.' You listen to your football people, and they thought this was the time. They put together a great plan and I've been encouraging them, 'Hey guys, let's make moves, it's time to win'" ("PFT," NBC Sports Network, 3/18).
TICKET SALES LUKEWARM: The HERALD's Salguero writes fans' early reaction at the ticket window "has been lukewarm to the Dolphins' so-far impressive offseason talent-grab in free agency." So the "ticket-buying crowd is still in show-me mode." But Dolphins' brass at yesterday's NFL owners meeting were "full of energy." Salguero: "Try as they might, the possibility of a Super Bowl reared its head." Ross: "If you don't think that's what our goal is and the only reason why we're putting this team together, you're nuts. But when it's going to happen, no one is making any predictions." Salguero writes the Dolphins must "impress their fans before even one game is played to get them to turn out and vote in favor of upgrading Sun Life Stadium." Happy fans, "obviously, can be enthusiastic voters." Ross said, "We didn't do this and sign these players to win a vote. They're totally independent acts" (MIAMI HERALD, 3/19).
SEE YOU IN CANTON: The NFL today announced the Dolphins and Cowboys will compete in the annual Pro Football HOF game on Aug. 4. Three members of this year's HOF class have ties to the teams -- Larry Allen played for the Cowboys from '94-'05, Cris Carter played for the Dolphins in '02 and Bill Parcells coached the Cowboys for four years before joining the Dolphins' front office for three seasons (THE DAILY). This will mark the "fourth time the Dolphins will play in the game" and the fifth for the Cowboys (MIAMIHERALD.com, 3/19).
Patriots' Robert Kraft Says Wes Welker's Agents "Misrepresented" His Value During Free Agency
Patriots Owner Robert Kraft yesterday "went on the attack," as he was "fiercely protecting his asset, a man staunchly defending his team and his Patriots brand," according to Karen Guregian of the BOSTON HERALD. Kraft "pointed fingers, casting the blame squarely on" Athletes First Chair & CEO David Dunn and Broncos WR Wes Welker's representation for Welker leaving the Patriots. Kraft claimed that Welker's agents "led him down the wrong path because they 'misrepresented' his market value" (BOSTON HERALD, 3/19). In N.Y., Judy Battista notes Kraft's statements "offered an unusual amount of detail from one of the NFL's most tight-lipped organizations." Kraft said that the Patriots "offered a deal that was worth more than the one he took" with the Broncos (N.Y. TIMES, 3/19). Kraft called Dunn's contention that the Patriots never made an offer "bogus." He said, "It just isn't true" (ESPNBOSTON.com, 3/19). Kraft said Welker "has a great agent, but they way overvalued ... as they should." Kraft: "They don't really care about the New England Patriots. They care about getting the best financial deal for their client ... and their compensation is based on that." But in Boston, Ron Borges writes, "Don't waste your breath on how Welker's agent didn't care about the Patriots." The Patriots in the end "played the same game they accused David Dunn of playing." They "only looked out for themselves" (BOSTON HERALD, 3/19). ESPN BOSTON's Mike Reiss wrote there has "never been a time when Kraft had been so publicly pointed in his remarks about an agent." He said, "The agents are doing their job and trying to do the best job they can. But I just think it was a miscalculation of value here, and playing poker" (ESPNBOSTON.com, 3/18). NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said, "It really speaks to the frayed relationship between Wes Welker's people and the Patriots" ("NFL Total Access," NFLN, 3/18).
AGENCY OFFERS ITS SIDE OF THE STORY: Athletes First issued a statement this morning responding to Kraft's comments, saying the company had "tremendous respect" for Kraft and the "entire Patriots organization." But it offered its take on the negotiations and stated a "lone offer" was made to Welker and "presented as a 'take it or leave it offer.'" Athletes First: "When we asked if there was room for structural changes, we were told no." The Patriots "made it abundantly clear that their one offer was non-negotiable. Athletes First has no issue with this approach and casts no blame on either side for a deal not being consummated. However, we believe it is important that the negotiations are accurately portrayed in the media" (ESPNBOSTON.com, 3/19). ESPN's Chris Mortensen noted it was "unique" that Kraft was "willing to go on the record" about the details involving Welker. However, people could "certainly dispute the facts." Mortensen said Welker "got more money" from the Broncos and "was actually offered more money by an unnamed third team." To put that blame on Welker or his agents is an "insult to Wes Welker that he can't think for himself" ("NFL 32," ESPN2, 3/18).
PAR FOR THE COURSE: ESPN's Michael Wilbon noted Kraft is an "esteemed owner, not just a successful guy," but he is "popping off and flexing" over the Welker issue. Wilbon: "I mean 90% of these owners have to flex because they're richer and more influential and more powerful, and they have to remind fans and sponsors and voters and the media and even their players, 'I'm King Kong, I'm the boss.' These are, in most cases, the most ruthless, arrogant, dismissive guys. And even Robert Kraft, who is seen as a good guy widely in addition to being a great owner. They just have to do this every now and then. ... This is NFL ownership" ("PTI," ESPN, 3/18).
BUCKING BRONCOS: In Denver, Mike Klis writes Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen yesterday "hardly was overwhelmed with embarrassment" following the situation with free agent DE Elvis Dumervil. He said, "Not really. I've been around here for quite a few years. I've seen just about everything. This is not unusual." The Broncos "lured free agents with front-loaded deals rich in cash signing bonuses." Bowlen: "You get what you pay for. These are football players, and we know how good they are and how good they're not. To get them, you pay them" (DENVER POST, 3/19). Klis wrote, "No other team stirred free-agent buzz through the first two days of free agency last week more than the Broncos." And that was "before the Broncos blew up the Twitter world Friday with" the Dumervil "docudrama." Friday "marred what had been an exceptional free-agent period for the Broncos." Maybe not "quite as stirring as the previous year's free agency that placed Peyton Manning on the Broncos' billboard." But Welker "moves the needle as well as the chains" (DENVER POST, 3/17).
Yankees Trying To Block Ticket Transactions At StubHub Pickup Location Near Park
The Yankees yesterday sued StubHub in Bronx County Supreme Court, seeking to block the resale marketplace from allowing tickets to the team's games to be transacted at StubHub's new pickup location near Yankee Stadium. The club is seeking an injunction against StubHub, with a hearing set for today. New York law prohibits the resale of tickets within 1,500 feet of a facility with at least 5,000 permanent seats. As a result, the case rests largely on what specifically constitutes resale in a ticket transaction. StubHub says the pickup spot, located at 68 E. 161st St., diagonally across the 161st St.-River Ave intersection from the ballpark, will only be to retrieve prior orders and represents a legally permissible, distinct activity. The Yankees argue that retrieval is a fundamental part of the original sales transaction, and as a result, violates the law. The club's complaint reads in part, "One consequence of StubHub's unlawful action will be to disrupt the relationship between the Yankees and the Yankees' season-ticket holders, because the season-ticket holders may choose to purchase tickets through the unlawful Bronx (Last Minute Services) center instead of directly from the Yankees." The Yankees opted out of StubHub's recent five-year contract renewal with MLBAM and have since created their own resale marketplace, Yankees Ticket Exchange, in partnership with Ticketmaster.
SCALPING LIKELY TO OCCUR: The club also alleges in its complaint the StubHub location will encourage additional scalping and higher pedestrian congestion near the stadium. The file reads, "Those scalpers will purchase 'last minute' tickets at the LMS center, and then attempt to resell them in front of Yankee Stadium, leading to an increase in crime, nuisance and a further diversion of N.Y. Police Department resources in the area surrounding Yankee Stadium." StubHub in a statement said it will "vigorously defend itself" from what it called a "baseless lawsuit." The company said, "This lawsuit is a move by the Yankees to reduce competition and consumer choice. StubHub has always abided by and will continue to abide by the current [New York] statute." Depending on what happens with the injunction hearing, the StubHub pickup location is set to open Friday.
Rays Launch "Welcome Home" Ad Campaign For '13 Season With Digital Media Elements
The Rays this season are debuting a "Welcome Home" ad campaign tagline that is "built on the concept of 'home,'" according to Alexis Muellner of the TAMPA BAY BUSINESS JOURNAL. The team for art and creative is "using images it shoots of fans reacting to the experience at Tropicana Field." The in-house campaign "features radio and TV, print, outdoors and social media." The club is "taking advantage of the many possible places to place digital advertising." For example, ads "may pop while surfing Weatherchannel.com." In addition, the team will "expand its advertising on the mobile app for music website Pandora." Ads are "geographically focused, and they can be targeted to music preferences that align with the team's popular concert series." Execs said that there are "no changes" in the amount of media the team is buying this season. The team is "being more aggressive this year in pushing the sunburst part of its logo, which appears in a home plate shaped box that contains the tagline." Rays President Matt Silverman said that the team's '12 attendance "was last in baseball, but by far the most-attended product in Tampa Bay" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 3/18). In Tampa, Robert Trigaux notes the campaign "kicks off later this week and features" Rays 3B Evan Longoria, P David Price and manager Joe Maddon. Other players "also appear in the campaign." Silverman said, "The idea of the campaign is that a fan can settle into a Rays game whether they are in the ballpark or on the couch at home and feel like they are in a familiar place." The "Welcome Home" message on radio and TV "will be spoken by Rays players or Maddon to deepen the connection with listeners." Rays VP/Marketing Tom Hoof said that the Rays "will soon reach out via the team website, inviting fans to share their favorite stories about the Rays." Fans with "compelling tales will be featured as part of the ads" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 3/19).
Real Salt Laker Owner Hansen Profiled, Discusses Taking Over From Checketts
MLS Real Salt Lake Owner Dell Loy Hansen and his "his ascension to being RSL's sole owner" was profiled by Aaron Falk of the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE. Hansen said that he "saw a team in need of saving" and "believed he had the ability to do something." Hansen "knew little of the sport when he first bought in, but his passion and business savvy were undeniable." He said that he immediately "dove into sponsorships and ticket sales." When Hansen arrived, the team was "bringing in $2.8 million in sponsorships a year." He said that this season, the club "will bring in $8.5 million." That number "will cross" the $10M mark "next year with a new jersey-front sponsorship deal." But for Hansen, the team is "unlike any other investment he's made." Hansen said, "One thing that's black and white: I will never make money running this." He said that the club's profits "will go back to the team in hopes of making RSL perennially one of Major League Soccer's top four clubs." Hansen "acknowledges he has frustrated" President Bill Manning and team staff "as he reworks the club's finances, cutting in some places and breaking off media and other components into separate entities." Former Owner Dave Checketts said that MLS Commissioner Don Garber in December "presided over a sealed auction" for the team. Checketts added that he "won the bid and on Dec. 11 deposited the $33 million needed to buy his partner out." At that point, he had "until Jan. 15 to close on the deal." Checketts said, "I had a lot of sleepless nights in early 2013 thinking about what I wanted. Do I want to continue? Can I continue? I woke up and told my wife we were going to sell." Checketts said that he is "satisfied that he left a franchise that was on solid ground and capable of continued on-field success." Hansen "agrees, and he thinks he can help take RSL to another level" (SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 3/17).
NFL Franchise Notes: Banner Keeping Lombardi Out Of Media Spotlight
Browns CEO Joe Banner yesterday admitted that he "doesn't want" GM Michael Lombardi in the media spotlight yet. Banner said Lombardi is "a little bit of a lightning rod." In Cleveland, Mary Kay Cabot notes Banner instead "will address personnel matters for the time being." Lombardi "hasn't addressed the media" since his title was changed on March 5, and he "didn't appear at press conferences for free agent acquisitions" DE Paul Kruger and DT Desmond Bryant. Banner yesterday said of Lombardi, "Distraction won't serve anybody's interests. He's got a tremendous amount of work to do right now, and whether that's good, bad or fair or not it doesn't really matter. It's just the reality of the situation." Banner added, "He's not going to be hidden. He's not going to be somebody over time you won't have an opportunity to talk to" (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 3/19).
NO CHANGE: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell yesterday said that the Redskins "met with the NFL twice in the past 30 days to try to recoup salary cap space the team lost" to a $36M penalty, but efforts were "unsuccessful." Goodell said, "I've told the Redskins directly that there will be no change in the modification to their cap." In DC, Rich Campbell notes Goodell "would not say whether he ever considered it a possibility that the Redskins would pursue legal action against the league outside of the arbitration process" (WASHINGTON TIMES, 3/19).
FLYING THE COOP: In Philadelphia, Les Bowen noted some Eagles fans "feel less engaged by the announcement last Friday that the team no longer will hold training camp in the intimate setting" of Lehigh Univ. The four or five "fan events team president Don Smolenski said are planned for Lincoln Financial Field might be available to more fans than Lehigh, but the setting won't be nearly as cozy." Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie said, "I loved the fan engagement (at Lehigh). With NovaCare being one of the top facilities, teams are really tending toward (holding camp at home). We're really one of the last holdouts" (PHILLY.com, 3/18).

Continental giants forced to show their hands over women on board
Vodafone is among a group of Europe's biggest companies that have vowed to respond to calls to break the male dominance of their senior ranks by promoting more women to management.
The telecommunications group has pledged to increase the proportion of women among its senior leadership to 30 per cent within the next few years. In the long run, Vodafone said, it wants at least half of its workforce to be female. At present, 39 per cent of its staff and about a fifth of its senior management worldwide are women.
Vittorio Colao, the chief executive, said: "We are keenly aware of the need to boost the number of women prepared and qualified to serve on supervisory boards and as non-executive directors." BMW, Deutsche Telekom,…

Amenfi West (formerly Wassa Amenfi West) District forms part of twenty two (22) Metropolitan, Municipalities and Districts in the Western Region of Ghana is located between Latitude 400'N and 500 40'N and Longitudes 10 45' W and 20 10'W. The Administrative capital if the District is Asankrangwa. The District shares boundaries with Aowin District to the west, to the east with Waasa East District, to the north with Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai.and to the south with Amenfi Central District.
Some residents of the Wassa Amenfi West Constituency in the Western Region, have responded rather angrily to government's sudden decision to tar some roads in the area with asphalt ahead of Tuesday's by-election.
The residents, who believe the sudden reconstruction and asphalting of the Asankragua town toads, is a ploy to woo them to vote for the incumbent NDC, say it will not influence their voting pattern.
Some said the government by this action had clearly shown that politicians were taking "them for a ride". "We have seen the reconstruction of the town roads.
You see, had it not been this by-election, they would have been no development of this sort because they think the people are okay with what they had, which is not what is on the ground. We were expecting them to do this long ago. It cannot change or influence me tomorrow [Tuesday]."
Ahead of the by-election occasioned by the death of the NDC MP, John Gyetuah, some 2km of road in the Asankragua township has been asphalted. Other roads in the town as at Sunday December 13 2015, were also being given a quick facelift.
One of the residents said "they have announced it on radio that our roads at Toronpan, Mmofra Nfa Adwen, Mumuni, and even Sambreboi have been reconstructed long ago.
I want to put on record that has never happened here. It's all lies.
In fact, what the NDC is doing to residents in these areas is not good.
It will never influence my voting. God is watching them. I pray they lose the by-election tomorrow."
Others said the Amenfi West area which is known for cultivating huge tracts of cocoa farms, has roads in the hinterlands that need urgent attention rather than their town roads.
"They have it in their minds that the constituents here are like palm trees. Whether you nurture it or not, it will bear fruits. We will not wait; remain in this situation for the next four years.
Had it not been this by-election, who said they would have reconstructed our roads.? Who even said with our contribution to the country we do not deserve these roads?" A mechanic quizzed in an interview with Citi News.
NPP executives in the Western Region have already accused the incumbent NDC of vote buying through the distribution of machetes and fertilizer among others to voters.
But the NDC denied the allegation explaining that the works the government had done is enough to win them the seat again.
There were similar allegations of sudden development projects against the incumbent NDC administration ahead of the by-election in Talensi which the party eventually won.
The NDC's candidate for Tuesday's poll is 41-year old Eric Afful, who works with a local cocoa buying company in the constituency.
The NPP is represented by Paul Derkyi, a 43-year old lawyer. The others are Mr. Abraham Kwadwo Buadee, a 41-year-old accountant for the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP), and Mr. Elvis Adjei, a 30-year-old Loan administrator for the United Front Party (UFP).
The Amenfi West seat has traditionally been an NDC seat. The party has occupied it since 2,000 with four different candidates. Apart from the year 2000 and 2004, when the NPP came close to winning, the NDC in 2008 and 2012 stretched the vote margins considerably.

Looking for a New Ride? Afford What You Want with Car Finance
These days, there is no need to struggle when buying a new car. There are many great car finance products on the market that can provide you with an easy way to spread the costs of a new ride.
Whether you are looking for an economic diesel for your daily commute or a comfortable people carrier for your family you can find the funds you need with car finance.
Why Car Finance?
Car finance is a specialist type of loan product. These are offered for the purpose of buying vehicles and are available from a range of sources such as specialist motor finance companies and dealers.
- With car finance you will be able to borrow the money you need to buy a new car. Getting finance packages direct from specialist providers can save you a lot of time and hassle.
- This will also ensure you can afford the right car for your needs rather than having to buy the only one you can afford from your own savings.
- Car finance products will be listed with the full APR. You can use this as a guideline to see what interest you would have to pay back on the loan.
- It is important you get a quote before you take out any types of loan products as details can change depending on a number of circumstances (such as loan term and initial lending amount).
- Get a few quotes and shop around to find the best car finance packages for your budget and requirements.
- Many people feel quite stressed when faced with the prospect of buying a new car. There are so many different car dealers and private sellers on the market the choice can be overwhelming.
- Finding the right car for your budget can be difficult and this is when it pays to go online. There are many online services that can help you to find and afford the perfect car for you.
How do I Get Car Finance?
One of the best ways to check what car finance packages are available to you is to go online. You can use specialist motor finance websites to search for available vehicles and then find out what finance packages can be offered.
This means you can search for cars in your local area for sale and see if you are eligible for finance on them. This dual approach saves a lot of time and stress as you will be able to find everything you need all from one website.
Who is Eligible for Car Finance?
This will depend on individual circumstances. Specialist motor finances providers will reserve the right to set their own guidelines for eligible borrowers. In general though you will need to be over the age of 18 years old and able to prove you have a regular income in order to take out car finance.

Abstract 2275: Nox4 is a Major Source of Superoxide Production in the Mouse Heart
Jump to
NAD(P)H oxidases (Noxs) produce superoxide and play an important role in cardiovascular pathophysiology. The Nox4 isoform is expressed in cardiac myocytes. In order to elucidate the function of endogenous Nox4, we have generated cardiac-specific Nox4 −/− (c-Nox4−/−) mice. Cardiac specific deletion of Nox4 was achieved using αMHC-Cre. Neither early mortality nor obvious cardiac abnormality was observed. Nox4 expression in the heart was markedly inhibited in c-Nox4 −/− mice, whereas Nox4 expression in other organs, such as the kidneys, in c-Nox4 −/− mice was similar to that in wild-type (WT) mice. There was no compensatory upregulation of other members of the Nox family in the heart. Expression of p22phox, a membrane-integrated protein that forms a heterodimer with Nox proteins, was reduced, possibly due to destabilization caused by the depletion of Nox4 (48.3% of WT). SOD-inhibitable (SI)-superoxide production in whole heart homogenates, measured by a chemiluminescence method, was significantly less in c-Nox4 −/− mice (485 ± 95 RLU, n = 3) than in WT mice (1332 ± 266 RLU, n = 3; p < 0.001). SI-superoxide production by the mitochondrial fraction (768 ± 163 vs. 2781 ± 548 RLU, n = 3; p <0.01) and the microsomal fraction (464 ± 17 vs. 682 ± 49 RLU, n = 3; p < 0.05) was also less in c-Nox4 −/− mice than in WT mice. Dihydroethidium staining of the heart sections showed significantly less fluorescence in c-Nox4 −/− mice (64.0 ± 4.2 % of WT; p < 0.005) than in WT mice. These results suggest that Nox4 plays an important role in mediating superoxide production in the heart, especially in the mitochondria and microsomes. LV weight/body weight (3.3 vs 3.4 mg/g, NS) and echocardiographically determined cardiac function, such as ejection fraction (73.2 vs 70.5%, NS), in c-Nox4 −/− mice were similar to those in WT mice at 3 months of age. In summary, c- Nox4 −/− mice exhibited significantly reduced levels of superoxide production in the heart, suggesting that Nox4 is a major producer of superoxide in the heart at baseline. Despite significant reduction in superoxide production, c-Nox4 −/− mice exhibited an apparently normal cardiac phenotype, suggesting that Nox4 is dispensable for physiological growth and maintenance of LV function in the postnatal heart at baseline.

Group Therapy: Is your significant other into retro renovation and all things vintage as much as you are — or is your life a retro battleground? Has this interest strengthened bonds — or do you have to compromise (or finagle) to make it work? (Example: Like the couple in this 1948 GE advertisement, David and I juggle pretty well, but I admit, I have the estate-sale bug very bad and the number of things I constantly squirrel into the house is a source of conflict, to say it nicely…) Share your stories and tactics! This should be fun!
I'm very lucky! My farm-boy honeypie is enlightened.
In fact, it was HIS idea to buy one of the 1961 Shasta Airflyte reproductions! WE LOVE IT!
He also bought me an old-school aluminum canoe for Valentine's day so we can camp in mid-century style 🙂
Hi again… My comment didn't seem to post. Anyhow your chair resembles a design by Hans Wagner… Might want to google for further info
I am so fortunate. After renting for years we finally owned a home and then… nothing. I would suggest a project or some sort of decor theme and my DH would say, "Sure that would be great." and then leave it to me to kick things off and it would go nowhere. That's how it was until the day that the angels sang and a UFO shined a light on my head and I stood in the back of the church and said, "The Band! The Band!…" Wait, no. Wrong movie. Rewind.
OK That was the case until the day that I suggested a mid C mod Atomic scheme. He lit up! He got out of his chair! He started waving his arms around and throwing out ideas! He extracted a credit card from his wallet! And. Stuff. Happened!
We both love what we have done, and doing it together was/is a real labor of love… almost all of the time.
My husband divorced me because of my love for mid century stuff and my changes to our 1961 house. Said he thought I "loved my furniture more than him". Which is probably true since, unlike him, my furniture always SUPPORTED and INSPIRED me. Good riddance.
I hope it's ok that this made me laugh!
Yes, Sara C, it's okay to laugh. Now I've just got more room for all my cool stuff. I made sure to hang all my spaghetti lamps in HIS old office! Oh, Snap!
Oops above – scrap that. Anyway, my husband was into MCM for many years and even collected a few off things he'd put away. We're both feathering our 1960's nest presently and it has brought us closer together. This was the era of both our childhoods, and of our siblings. Our parents are taken back to their youths when they bought & furnished their first homes and started their families (us!) Our project has been a nostalgic journey for us and our families. Plus, my husband has MCM radar – he finds the treasures! We hunt and research together – it's been wonderful! I realize I don't need "country" or colonial-looking "heirlooms" that never existed in my family. We didn't come over on the Mayflower and I'm not a country girl. I HAVE my own authentic "heirlooms" that are lo longer packed away, but used & enjoyed: my mother's MCM atomic starburst dishes, percolator, tv stand, etc – and I'm discovering what great taste my parents had!
My boyfriend broke up with me because he absolutely hated my mid century/atomic home decorations. My graduate degree is in art history and he did not understand the 'Arts' that I have the passion of. Good riddance anyway! I am single and enjoy my mid century home!!
"Art" is right! I sat next to a young architect on the train to work one day and we talked the whole way about my love for MCM & 1960's stuff. He confirmed that it indeed WAS "an era of high design." I think of what the world was like then – exciting, changing. The space race, technology, modern lines & new styles (not "xxx-revival") originality – imagination that knew no bounds. It was all manifested in the art/arts. Art is a reflection of culture.
Yes, exactly!! It's why I embrace MCM so much!! I hope to find a guy who embrace it as well. 🙂
My hubby was a pretty laid-back bachelor when we got married–didn't really have a "style" and didn't notice or fuss over decor much to begin with. Then we both fell for a 1972 house and I proceeded to fill it with 60s-70s pieces I had collected since my teens. Luckily he decided he loved the clean lines, dark woods and funky shapes of the Danish modern stuff I had gotten and proceeded to make suggestions– like a lime green shag rug under our coffee table and an abstract metal wall hanging. He regularly crashes on a lemon-yellow bean bag chair in the living room and is concerned I might move it. Thankful we ended up sharing tastes!

State Aviation Day - April 25, 2017
With a new administration in the pilot's seat and the legislature heavily dominated by one party, this could be a very significant year for the aviation community. There are several bills on the agenda which need our support and advocacy. Let's not forget how important it is for us to speak with one voice on April 25 when we meet with our legislators.
The world of aviation is rapidly changing. Let's make sure our legislators understand how these changes will affect aviation in the state of Missouri.
A buffet luncheon will be served from 11:30 a.m.—1:00 P.M. on the House side – the southwest alcove. Tables and chairs will be set up in the southeast alcove on the Senate side again.
Come help us support aviation in Missouri. This is a special day for you to meet with your legislators and let them know the importance of aviation in your communities and in the state.

The SBC (Southern Baptist Convention) met this week in Louisville for the annual gathering. When I was a pastor, I attended these meetings with the last one being in 1995. Since they were meeting in Louisville and I now live in Louisville, I followed the events a little closer. Due to my work schedule, I was not able to attend any of the sessions (except for the final 10 minutes of the convention). I have caught up by watching the streaming videos of the business sessions.
Here are some thoughts on this convention.
1. I enjoying spending some time with Dr. Tim Hight and his wife, Dawn.
Tim is the pastor of Main Street Baptist Church in Christiansburg, VA. He is also serving as President of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia.
Tim and I first connected while at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. We were fellow pastors in Arkansas for awhile and traveled together to a few of the SBC annual meetings.
Tim is one of the few guys that knew me when I was a pastor and provided gracious aid after my fall. He has promised to write a guest post for Pulpit 2 Pew. I look forward to that. I could say much more about Tim and Dawn, but for now just know that Suzie and I really enjoyed sharing a meal with them.
2. This convention met in Louisville to coincide with the 150th Anniversary of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. From J.P Boyce to Al Mohler, Southern has had an interesting and important history. I am looking forward to reading the newly released history by Greg Wills.
3. The GCR (Great Commission Resurgence) document drew most of the attention for this convention. I added my signature to the document a few weeks prior to the convention. Primarily this document affirmed basic but important theological truths such as the Lordship of Jesus over all we do. The point that drew the most focus and opposition was Article IX which is basically a call to evaluate the relationships and functions of all SBC entitities so that work and money might be more efficiently focused on the primary tasks of the Great Commission.
4. I was surprised at the vocal opposition to the evaluation process. I just could not buy into the reasons given for opposing this. In the end the vote carried by a large margin.
5. I was very disappointed by Morris Chapman's opposition to Article IX as well as his attack on Calvinism. Others also attacked Calvinism during the introduction of motions and business sessions. The shoddy history by one gentleman in denouncing Calvinism by linking it to primitive Baptists was atrocious.
Chapman repeatedly set up straw men and then knocked them down. His false dichotomies included:
- Learning theology versus doing evangelism.
- Loving theology versus loving Jesus.
- Lottie Moon's mission activity versus debating theology.
What I found most interesting and inconsistent was that he belabored the point about discussing and debating theology instead of doing evangelism. His solution: discuss and debate with Johnny Hunt about Article IX and to spend a hefty amount of time debating Calvinism. I expected better from Chapman.
6. I am saddened at the rising insistence that holiness is equated with demanding everybody totally abstain from any alcoholic beverage. That is not the biblical teaching.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.
— Ephesians 5:18
This is an issue that should be treated like the meat that was offered to idols issue of the New Testament days. The Bible grants freedom to either eat or to abstain from eating depending on one's conscience. Remember that eating this meat was allowed, but for the sake of weakness abstinance was also allowable.
7. Mark Driscoll has become the whipping boy for some in baptist life. This is unfortunate. I have benefitted greatly from Driscoll's ministry. I don't usually agree with most preachers on every point, but that is no need to discard the entire ministry.
Let me give you an example of Driscoll's "cussing" that causes such alarm. I heard him answer the question of a young lady who asked what to say to a boyfriend that continued to pressure her for sex prior to a marriage commitment. Driscoll said to tell him to "go to hell." He went on to explain that his actions were indicative of one heading in that direction. I thought it was an appropriate response to a serious issue.
I am glad to be a Southern Baptist. I hope the days ahead for the denomination and churches are strong. That hope sometimes is tempered by the legalism against which we must guard ourselves. Legalism is just as deadly as is theological liberalism. My prayer is that Baptists will be defined by more than what we are against.
