New York, June 17, 2016 – The New York Times reported today that the niece of Fulton J. Sheen has filed suit in the New York Supreme Court to compel St. Patrick’s Cathedral to disentomb the body of Fulton J. Sheen so it can be moved to Peoria, Ill., the city of his birth.
Earlier it was reported that Sheen’s beatification – the final step before sainthood – would be delayed because Catholic hierarchs can’t agree where his body should be end up.
For many non-Catholics, this dispute over a body seems as unseemly as the revelation that Masterpiece Theatre host Alistair Cooke’s bones had been cut from his body by rogue morticians and sold for transplant tissue.
For many Catholics, the dispute over Sheen’s body is more ethereal. It means the late, beloved television preacher will have to wait for the official recognition that he is doing saintly things in heaven along with newly installed Saints Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II.
For Christians with a broader view of sainthood, the dispute makes little sense. Baptists and other sects regard a saint as anyone who receives Jesus Christ by faith.
That should settle it for Saint Fulton of Peoria. In his lifetime, he not only accepted Jesus in faith; he also embarked on a career that led millions to the same decision.
I was a devoted fan of both Milty and Fulty. I remember one show in which Sheen read a letter from a nine-year-old (someone my age) who expressed fondness for the bishop’s skullcap. Sheen removed the cap from his head and announced he would send it to the child. I was thrilled by Sheen’s recognition of the kids in his audience. And a little jealous that I didn’t think to ask for his hat.
In 1957, a spiteful New York Cardinal Francis Spellman forced Life is Worth Living off the air. Yet Sheen always spoke forgivingly of Spellman, which is a collateral sign of his saintliness. And to be sure, Sheen’s saintly career abounded as director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, bishop of Rochester, N.Y., and titular bishop of Neoportus (New Port, Wales).
I shook Sheen’s hand in October 1967 when I was in Rome attending an Air Force religious retreat. Pope Paul VI (now beatified but until recently stuck in the airless anteroom of indecision while the church determined his saintliness) was hosting Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I in a historic confab. Church hierarchs and celebrities came from all over the world to watch. We Americans standing in St. Peters immediately recognized Fulton Sheen in the procession. Uncle Fulty, his white hair set off by his purple cap, reached out to our extended hands, smiling, winking, repeating, “Hi, ya, how are ya, hi, ya.” His charisma was irresistible.
Sheen died in 1979 and, despite his stated wishes to be buried in Calvary Cemetery Queens, he was entombed in a crypt at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan. And so far Sheen has remained undisturbed, or his bones have.
Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of Sheen’s hometown of Peoria, Ill., has asked New York Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan to fulfill a verbal promise by his predecessor to send the bones to Peoria for burial. Jenky apparently foresees great possibilities for the consecrated body as a spiritual attraction for midwest pilgrims.
But Cardinal Dolan, a lifelong admirer of Sheen, has said no way. The bones will remain in New York City where Sheen spent a large part of his life. The impasse – for reasons that mystify non-Catholics – has halted the canonization process.
But that macabre solution seems out of the question for Sheen, and the late archbishop remains in that stale anteroom of indecision along with Pope Paul VI and millions of other wannabees awaiting admission to the manse of saints.
That seems very sad, unless you look at it from the point of view of millions of Protestants who knew they were saints as soon as they reached out in faith to Jesus.
And – if I can do so without offending millions of faithful Catholics who embrace the uncompromising requirements for sainthood that have been followed for centuries – perhaps I can offer a few words of comfort.
Saint Fulton of Peoria is not interred with his moldering bones. He has long since flown free to the saintly realm God arranged for him when he first encountered Jesus.
And with very little effort, I can imagine him chatting daily with some of the saints I knew so well: Saints Bertha and Goldie of Oneonta and Saint Doris of Sacketts Harbor, Saints Mary and Elmore of Morrisville, and Santo Beny de la Habana.
The fortunate thing for these saints is that they did not have to pass an unreasonably strident inquisition to prove their saintliness. I knew them well enough to doubt most of them could have advanced past the first step.
But I also know they joined the throng of saints the moment they reached out in faith to Jesus. It was at that moment they walked through the door into the bright light and pure air enjoyed by all God’s saints.
And – bones or no bones – it is in that magnificent mansion that Saint Fulton dwells, too. Now and forever.

The San Francisco 49ers will apparently be without one of their top pass-catchers for the remainder of the season, with multiple reports stating on Monday that wide receiver Mario Manningham sustained a significant knee injury during the team's Week 16 loss at Seattle.
According to NFL.com, Manningham tore both the ACL and PCL in his left knee after being tackled by Seattle linebacker Leroy Hill in Sunday's 42-13 setback to the Seahawks. The offseason acquisition will require surgery that will keep him out of San Francisco's regular-season finale as well as the entire upcoming playoffs.

Product exactly as expected. Just disappointed by delivery.
As I mentioned the quality I find to be questionable with the seams expanding etc. I only had these for 1 week and used them 5 times. I guess I would suggest them to professional swimmers. I am waist 28" and all my jammers fit and feel fine, but I do feel uncomfortable in these arena ones for some reason. I would strongly suggest to get one size up from what you currently are. This is what I find annoying for the price they are that they are not comfortable as other jammers out there.

"Caenorhabditis elegans pseudouridine synthase 1 activity in vivo: tRNA is a substrate, but not U2 small nuclear RNA."
Published 2003-06-01 in Biochem J volume 372 .
The formation of pseudouridine (Psi) from uridine is post-transcriptional and catalysed by pseudouridine synthases, several of which have been characterized from eukaryotes. Pseudouridine synthase 1 (Pus1p) has been well characterized from yeast and mice. In yeast, Pus1p has been shown to have dual substrate specificity, modifying uridines in tRNAs and at position 44 in U2 small nuclear RNA (U2 snRNA). In order to study the in vivo activity of a metazoan Pus1p, a knockout of the gene coding for the homologue of Pus1p in Caenorhabditis elegans was obtained. The deletion encompasses the first two putative exons and includes the essential aspartate that is required for activity in truA pseudouridine synthases. The locations of most modified nucleotides on small RNAs in C. elegans are not known, and the positions of Psi were determined on four tRNAs and U2 snRNA. The uridine at position 27 of tRNA(Val) (AAC), a putative Pus1p-modification site, was converted into Psi in the wild-type worms, but the tRNA(Val) (AAC) from mutant worms lacked the modification. Psi formation at positions 13, 32, 38 and 39, all of which should be modified by other pseudouridine synthases, was not affected by the loss of Pus1p. The absence of Pus1p in C. elegans had no effect on the modification of U2 snRNA in vivo, even though worm U2 snRNA has a Psi at position 45 (the equivalent of yeast U2 snRNA position 44) and at four other positions. This result was unexpected, given the known dual specificity of yeast Pus1p.

text: Practically every picture of me as a child shows me holding an animal of some kind, writes Barbara Bennett. An English professor at North Carolina State University, she spent a recent sabbatical as a hands-on volunteer, working with lions, leopards, and other wild creatures at Harnas Wildlife Foundation in Namibia. Based on her incredible experiences there, she authored this beautiful book - part nature story, part far-flung adventure, part biography of the amazing proprietor of Harnas, and part call to action on behalf of embattled wildlife. At the sanctuary, founder Marieta van der Merwe and her family care for more than 400 rescued, injured, and orphaned animals including cheetahs, leopards, lions, monkeys, meerkats, and wild dogs, as well as domestic dogs and cats. The animals come from farmers protecting their stock, from road accidents, and from misguided owners who try to domesticate wild pets. Harnas runs a variety of programs to heal, release, protect, and care for them. A typical scene at Harnas might involve workers seated under a tree in the heat of the day, supervising a playdate for scampering baby baboons. Or bottle-feeding a six-month-old giraffe whose legs alone are the height of an adult human. Or taking an evening stroll with half-grown lion cubs who might turn and playfully pounce at any moment. Every scrape was a badge of honour. We all hoped one of these injuries would scar. It would be the cocktail party story that tops all others, recalls the author. But her most magical experience at Harnas - one that will bring awe and envy to every cat-lover in the audience - was sleeping out in the enclosure alongside beautiful Cleo and Pride, lulled by their loud purrs and kept warm by 300 pounds of magnificent cheetah. The story of Harnas isn't just about animals. Readers will become fans of brave, tenacious Marieta, who has accomplished much despite tremendous hardships. Learn of movie star Angelina Jolie's devotion to Harnas. And get to know the Bushmen who work at the sanctuary. People, wildlife, nation, and environment - all play a part in this candid and page-turning adventure, at once daring, dangerous, funny, and forever heartwarming.

As we get Peru Unplugged up and running, I am really looking forward to sharing regularly about alpacas. The 20/20 alpaca will be the primary premise of my alpaca blog posts. 20/20 is simply a metaphor for what we might achieve.
I first met this remarkable man in the early 1990s when I was president of the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA). I was interested in creating contacts with Peruvian alpaca breeders and textile manufacturers, I decided to correspond with the International Alpaca Association (IAA) headquartered in Arequipa.
Not many months later, before it was even legal to export alpacas from Peru, I accepted the IAA’s invitation to visit and made the first of many trips in 1991. One of the first questions I asked upon arrival in Peru was, “Who is the greatest alpaca breeder in Peru?” “Don Julio Barreda,” everyone replied without hesitation. I asked my hosts if they might introduce me to Don Julio. They agreed and invited him to a dinner party in Arequipa.
The day before the dinner, I got my first glimpse of Barreda’s alpacas at Grupo Inca’s farm Sallalli, which at that time was located near the Colca Valley. The farm had just purchased 24 machos from Barreda’s farm, Accoyo. They were larger than any alpacas I had ever seen. Their fleece quality was so striking that I remember thinking they must be a different breed than the ones I had at home, which I had imported from Chile.
At dinner, I finally had the opportunity to speak directly with Don Julio. We began the first of many conversation about Don Julio’s passion for alpaca breeding, and by the end of the evening, Don Julio agreed to visit my ranch in Oregon the following July.
I know that you, my fellow breeders from North America, can walk with longer, quicker steps and will, with the aid of the science that is available here, create a type of alpaca to your own liking. Allow me to say this – It would be ideal that my experiences, although maybe a bit old-fashioned, could facilitate the progress that you foresee and maybe, thanks to an honest collaboration, we could make the alpaca an animal known and respected in each household of your great nation.

One final step before a law passed by the Legislature becomes Law is for it to scale the final formal process of the Executive Assent. The Assent signifies the readiness and eagerness of the Executive Arm of Government to implement the said Law.
However, in the course of this, a lot of Politicking and shenanigans play out. Despite the legislative time and resources that the two arms of the National Assembly with a majority of the 469 Elected Representatives making a decision on behalf of the people, it still behoves on the President of the Federal Republic or anyone he so designates to assent to a Bill already passed by the National Assembly towards becoming law or otherwise. Many a time, one hears of bills and legislative proposals being in and around the legislative process since the 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th National Assemblies; yet still present till now in the 8th National Assembly without becoming law due to the withholding of assent.
Sections 5 and 9 (1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended speaks on the responsibility of the Nationality Assembly even as it involves lawmaking for the Federation and accords this prerogative of Assent even on Constitutional Amendments to the Executive Arm and in fact the President. This is side by side with Section 2 of the Interpretation Act Cap 123 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria which provides that “an act is passed when the President assents to the bill or the act, whether or not the act then comes into force”. This inherent power is actually meant to ensure that only the best of laws are made for the people.
However, this power has both been used and abused at different times in the course of the last 17years of our nascent democracy leading to a repetition in the legislative process – a waste of time, energy and resources for many rather important bills which could have become law. Many a times as well, petty politics and pecuniary interest remains the major reason why some laws aren’t assented to. This selfish and insincere approach to Governance has continued to the very bane of our underdevelopment.
According to Senator Solomon Ita Enang who currently serves as a Presidential Aide on National Assembly Matters (Senate), the number of bills so far assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari in the course of the tenure of the 8th National Assembly has surpassed the number of any Assembly since the return of democracy in this Republic. Bills which President Buhari has assented to include the Prevention of Crime Amendment Act, Water Resources Amendment Act, National Judicial Institute Amendment Act, Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers Amendment Act and the Endangered Species Amendment Act amongst others.
Furthermore, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo SAN acting on behalf of President Buhari withheld his assent to four bills passed by the National Assembly. Two fo these bills, the Dangerous Drugs Bill and Currency Conversion Freezing Order Act Amendment Bill actually emanated from the House of Representatives; was concurred with by the Senate and forwarded for assent while the other two, the National Lottery Bill and the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Fund sprang from the Senate itself. There is however a silver linen in this in that for the first time; at least to public knowledge, an Ag. President Osinbajo on behalf of the Executive Arm wrote to Senate President Bukola Saraki of the Legislative Arm in respect of this decision and clearly spelt out why and how such decision to withhold assent was reached.
This improvement which attested to the great rapport between both arms also continued when on Wednesday 5th April, 2017. Senate President Bukola Saraki during Senate Plenary constituted a committee to look into the issues raised by the Acting President leading to the withholding of the Presidential assent and to fashion out modalities towards ensuring they are adequately met and the law assented to pronto. This step turned the entire situation into a Win – Win for both arms of Government as they indeed worked in the spirit and letters of the Constitution for the overall interest of the Nation in ensuring that the best laws are made for the people.
Nevertheless, pundits have noted again and again that it is not the absence of good laws that makes us seemingly stagnant as a nation but the actual lack of political will for implementation of law or the selective implementation of same depending on whose interest is at stake. This trend has to stop. At this time in our democracy it is indeed pertinent that the Media, Civil Society Organizations, Pressure Groups and NGOs focused on Ideal Democratic Tenets and Good Governance ask questions about what happens to several bills from first, second readings to committee work, third reading and even after final passage by the National Assembly.
As a foundation has been laid in respect of an open transparent communication process for assent to legislative bills to become binding laws or the withholding thereof between the two arms concerned, we should never go below that in ensuring the best practicable laws are enacted for the good, freedom and protection of the citizens, their privileges, rights and the society in general.

It can directly affect my mood just right after I smell the smoke, especially when I’m taking my meals because I cannot move from the site right on the spot to avoid from the dangerous smoke. So for smokers, for not inducing temporary hatred from me, avoid your smoke from me ok. I don’t want to be secondary smoker and then get indirect but worse health effect from the toxic smoke that you inhale!
3. I think I am not as soft as what I used to be once upon a time. I think I have changed, improved. I don’t know how people see me, but from my personal view, I think I have reduced the softness in me – the way I speak, the way I walk, the way I think, the way I show myself. Maybe you don’t have any idea how soft I was – it was up to a point where people ask "is that a boy or a girl?" But dear people; don’t simply judge and condemn the softies. They need your guidance to change, to be like you, to be normal. They are challenged by Allah with their own way.

With all the skin benefits you have to gain from shea butter, it shouldn't be surprising that shea butter for pregnancy can be equally advantageous. In fact, the soothing and anti-inflammatory properties in shea butter can have far-reaching effects on your skin, even going as far as to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. At 24K Shea, we carry the highest quality shea butter on the market, which allows our customers to reap all the benefits raw shea butter has to offer. This is especially beneficial for use during pregnancy because all the beneficial compounds present in shea butter are still in tact and ready to soothe, smooth and nourish your skin.
Shea butter has been shown to have a wide number of benefits for skin care, and helping to eliminate and prevent stretch marks is one of those benefits. While shea butter may not entirely rid your skin of stretch marks on its own, it can still be helpful in preventing the formation of more in the future. For example, by holding moisture in your skin and encouraging the production of collagen, our unrefined shea butter can help make your skin more elastic. This will help prevent stretch marks from forming by helping your skin to comfortably stretch and bounce back to its former shape and size. Additionally, the antioxidants found in raw shea butter can help make your skin healthier and smoother. They do this by protecting and maintaining the health of your skin cells, and fighting away free radicals that damage the structure of your skin.
While you can find shea butter in virtually every store, most shea butter is refined and not pure. Our shea butter, however, is raw and unrefined, allowing you to reap all the natural benefits it has to offer without compromise. What really sets our raw shea butter apart from the competition, however, is where and how we source it. We have partnered with a fair trade women's cooperative in Ghana, Africa where the Shea trees grow wild. Here, these women harvest and process the shea nuts using traditional methods. Not only does this partnership provide us with the highest quality shea butter around, it also provides these women with a sustainable way to support their families and pay for things like education for their children. Before, these women would have had to resort to hard, agricultural labor for menial pay and would not have been able to send their children to school.
Try Our Raw Shea Butter Today!
Whether you are looking to use shea butter for pregnancy and stretch marks, or just everyday moisture, you can find it, along with an assortment of other products, in our online store. Don't forget, we also offer wholesale sizes, as well!

No matter what kind of pet you have, large or small, exotic or domestic, K- laser can be part or the solution to help ease your pet's pain. Safe and effective, this powerful modality provides increased mobility, increased wound healing, and post surgery rehab.
Most pets do not need to have their hair clipped.
Most pets require multiple treatments [4 to 5] with the Laser before you can see at least a 50% improvement in mobility and pain reduction.
The treated area feels better 12 to 24 hours after a Laser treatment.
As with any therapy, the patient should be kept quiet until all treatments are complete.
Class 4 laser therapy treatments are cumulative in nature.
The length of laser therapy treatments and frequency of treatments improve outcomes.
Most chronic conditions require treatments every other day for one week, then twice the second week, twice the third week, once the fourth week.
Feel free to Call and Dr. Berry will be happy to discuss Class IV Laser therapy with you.

Host Robin Siegerman is thrilled to welcome her guest, Emmy Award winner Steve Thomas to the show! Throughout his TV career as host for 13 years of This Old House on PBS followed by a hosting stint on Renovation Nation on the Discovery Channel, Steve has been a vocal advocate for sustainable renovations and building. Now, by joining forces with Habitat for Humanity International, Steve is adding his voice to the growing chorus of concern over the state of housing for much of the population of the world by raising awareness and funds for Habitat homes all over the globe.
Steve talks about his experience in Kenya with Habitat, and the amazing project they completed there which allowed the organization to reach an impressive milestone in their history. He describes how decent, affordable housing elevates productivity and morale in communities all over the world, once devastated by violence, natural disasters and desperate poverty. Many politicians argue that building homes for those who need them is unaffordable, but Steve believes that we can’t afford not to. And with the guiding principle of Habitat for Humanity being “A hand up, not a hand out”, the model is attainable by communities everywhere.
Habitat can always use volunteers to help build homes, but even if you’re not prepared to put on a hard hat or swing a hammer, you can join the growing movement by listening to Steve and Robin talk about how to achieve affordable, decent homes for all and how communities can aspire to and accomplish true sustainability. Inspiring and motivational, you don’t want to miss a word of this episode of Renovation Bootcamp™!
Renovation Bootcamp – What’s Up With Blogs?
In the last few years the number of blogs on the web have exploded and it seems everyone and his dog has one. The early blogs were online journals, often with stream of consciousness content, leaving the reader wondering…what the…???
But in only a few short years, blogs have become a major source of information in just about every industry, and interior design is no exception. Design blogs have a huge influence on consumers and vendors, and surprisingly, they influence other designers, too. But how does a blog actually evolve and what’s involved in putting one together that’s on trend and current? Host Robin Siegerman picks the brain of Jennifer Mehditash, Editor of the interior design blog, Dec-a-porter to take you through the process and at the same time gives you a sneak peek into Pantone’s color of the year….it may surprise you!
On Tips from the Trenches, Derek Sambora of EcoSimplista talks about green sustainable flooring and reveals one of his all time, favorite eco friendly flooring types, which…well…floors our host! Derek gives you some tips on how to know what’s really green and what’s just green washing.
Orange and green? Sounds like a winning combo! Tune in!
Have you ever gone looking for an area rug and not been sure whether it was going to be the right size or whether the colors were going to suit your room or whether you really needed to spend THAT much money? Join host Robin Siegerman when she talks to Alan Pourvakil a true rug expert, from W Studio in Toronto. After listening to this episode, we guarantee all of your rug-related questions will be answered!
Throughout his 23 years in the carpet business, Alan Pourvakil has traveled the world looking for the best quality carpets, the most beautiful patterns, and has literally seen millions of examples of one of the world’s oldest crafts–the art of rug making. Alan shares which fibres are going to stand up best to the wear and tear of your family life, what you should never do with your rugs, and how to figure out what size rug you really need. By the end, you’ll be a rug expert too, knowing all the insider secrets: Right down to what breed of sheep has the best wool for a rug and how every last detail–even the animal’s diet–can determine the quality of the finished product, and why a synthetic carpet might be cheaper to buy but is a ba-a-a-ad idea in the long run.
And in the Tip from the Trenches segment, you’ll find out where you can get every piece of information you need about your plumbing fixture and faucet selection right from your mobile device so you never pick the wrong one again. Donna Church from Kohler will tell you how it all works.
From the kitchen and bathroom, to the living room and every other room in the house, tune in for interesting, practical information you can use to fix up your home.
Everyone has a messy house from time to time and many people have stuff they know they should get rid of but for some reason they just can’t let go. But if you want to renovate your house, clearing out the debris is a must-do before any of the work can start. But have you ever had the private fear that your tendencies toward hoarding are actually a disorder? Does the mess affect the way you function in your home?
Most people, if they want to renovate badly enough, can gather the will to spend the time it takes to clean up and clear out. But for hoarders, there are much deeper factors at work. How do you recognize if you or someone you love has crossed the line from slob to hoarder? Host Robin Siegerman chats with Dr. Marla Deibler, a clinical psychologist and founder of The Center for Emotional Health who has been featured on A&E’s show, Hoarders, says that hoarding is in the spectrum of OCD disorders and gives us the hallmarks of what to look for and how to treat it. “It’s not a case of getting treatment and affecting a cure,” says Dr. Deibler. “These people will have a constant battle, but it can be done if they want to be helped”.
On Tip from the Trenches, find out what lighting products Philips has available now that will have you running to your nearest store to snap them up when the old, familiar incandescent light bulbs are officially phased out. You won’t be forced to put up with inadequate fluorescents that are dim and take too long to get to full power. And the old bulbs are one thing you won’t have to hoard when you see these fabulous replacements! These will kill any thought of a black market in incandescents (don’t be a bulb-runner!) as they have a great quality of light, they last so long you may have to will them to your kids, and they’ll save you a wad of cash in the long run. This show will light up your life in more ways than one. Tune in and turn on!
Ever toyed with the idea of being an interior designer? Wonder if you have what it takes to do the décor for a client’s home? The road to a creative field is not always as straight forward as you might think! Host Robin Siegerman interviews Shawna Starkman of SandStar Designs on how her humble student beginnings eventually led her to become the go-to gal for music video set designs and more!
Even creative people can get in a rut from time to time, finding it tough to come up with unique solutions for every project. But early in her career as a set designer for music videos Shawna Starkman found that she didn’t have the luxury of suffering from a creative block! These jobs are done on the fly in completely strange cities for big-ego directors who demand the moon but will settle for the stars.
From early aspirations as an actor/singer/dancer, then back to film school, to working on music videos with some of the most famous artists in the music business to using pink, bullet-proof glass in a kids’ room, the road to the interior design profession was an action-packed whirlwind that played like a game show on steroids for Shawna! Join in as Robin gets the back-stage scoop from Shawna Starkman on just what it’s like to be a jet-setting set designer, how it’s the ultimate test of a creative brain, and what it could possibly have in common with designing someone’s home.
And in Tip from the Trenches segment Robin discovers a cool new product to help you tile any wall in half the time of conventional methods–with much less mess!–when she talks to Rob Madore, Project Manager of BonderaTileMatSet. This is an episode you won’t want to miss, not even for a second. Tune in for the fun!
Renovation Bootcamp – Feng Shui – Real, Divine or Both?
Then along comes Feng Shui practitioner Linda Binns. Robin throws down the gauntlet and challenges Linda to try to change her mind (fully assuming that wouldn’t happen). Robin’s expectations of bells, chanting and woo-woo-wands are expertly dealt with when Linda cites actual, real-life examples of how the principles of Feng Shui have helped her clients with startling results! Linda’s good-natured and practical approach is compelling, but Robin isn’t yet willing to concede her position, so she makes a surprising suggestion and promises to bring proof back to her listeners!
But to keep things grounded, in Robin’s Tip of the Week, Paul Grothouse gives us the scoop on wood counter tops. They look great, but are they really that practical…? Are they reliable? Will the wood swell if near a sink? Are mildew and germs still an issue with these counters? And what technological advances have been made to protect the wood–and our investments!–from the elements? Paul and Robin look at the myths and facts surrounding these fascinating counter tops, and the surprising ways that wood can be used that you would never have imagined!
From demystifying Feng Shui to defining “VOC,” this episode has got it all!
It seems there are more things in heaven and earth than we can envision and two of them are on Renovation Bootcamp! Tune in!
How do you choose what color to paint the walls in your home? Are you afraid of making a mistake and then having to live with a result you hate? Is there some kind of system or tool that could take the fear factor out of it? Host Robin Siegerman chats with Susan Jamieson of Bridget Beari Designs who reveals the inside scoop behind a new line of paint and the system she developed for picking and combining colors like the pros! You can find her 76 custom colors at Fine Paints of Europe and hear the very usual way she has of naming each shade!
But hold on! Just when you thought it was safe to pick a paint color that you love, along comes designer Judson Rothschild of Rothschild Interiors who has some controversial opinions and decrees that the only acceptable shade of paint for your walls is a version of white and don’t even THINK about using draperies or family photos as part of your décor because all they do is cause clutter that results in panic and anxiety! After personally suffering panic and anxiety attacks in his 30’s, he wrote the book Snap Out Of It! A Quck Guide To Overcoming Panic and Anxiety and applies the principles to the job sites.
“No wonder people are confused about how to successfully decorate their homes when even the pros disagree!” says Robin Siegerman. How on earth do you decide what to do? Robin gives you tips on how to approach it and what to look and ask if you do want to work with a designer or decorator.
Three renovation experts enter today’s show–who will leave unscathed? It’s the most exciting, most controversial Renovation Bootcamp yet! You’re not going to want to miss one second of this sizzling new show!
Renovation Bootcamp – Let There Be Light!
Did you know that poor lighting can cause headaches, eye strain, and chronic muscle problems? With an aging population, good lighting for our homes is more important than ever. However, the familiar incandescent light bulb is scheduled for extinction by 2012 across North America. What will we do…? Host Robin Siegerman welcomes a very special guest–lighting designer James Bedell–to this informative episode of Renovation Bootcamp! James explains the pending legislation, what it means, why it’s being brought in, and what our options will be once it becomes the law of the land.
As the author of the forthcoming book Losing Edison: Beautiful, Sustainable Lighting at Home, James Bedell is positioning himself as a lighting expert at the forefront of the lighting “war” ahead! James is here to answer all of your most prevalent lighting questions: Are we going to be stuck with yucky fluorescent bulbs that look like a mechanical version of a soft-serve ice-cream cone and emit a sickly grey/blue light that’s barely bright enough to read by? Are we going to have to throw away every lamp in the house to accommodate LED bulbs? Does the new law mean we’ll have to stockpile the light bulbs that we know and love before they’re gone for good? And what’s so bad about the light bulbs we own now, anyway?
“I think people are a little confused…thanks to the media,” explains James Bedell of the upcoming law change. “No one really wants to buy [these bulbs] until they’re forced to,” Robin Siegerman says. But does this change in lighting legislation have to be horrendous? James offers Renovation Bootcamp listeners the manufacturer names of some excellent alternative light sources that you can buy without going on a hunting expedition.
“It will be a very, very exciting market two years from now,” promises James Bedell. Are YOU ready for the Light Revolution…? Tune in!
Renovation Bootcamp – Can An Interior Designer Save You Money Or Time Or Both?
The popular myth is that interior designers only work with very high end clients and movie stars. Some do, but there are many who can help people with more modest budgets, but it’s important to understand what their role is and what the costs are before you begin. You may be surprised by some of the advice from guest Kimberley Seldon–a veteran designer, TV personality, and Editor-in-Chief of Dabble Magazine–when she dishes about behind-the-scenes secrets of working with a designer. Host Robin Siegerman, the “Renovation Drill Sergeant,” isn’t afraid to ask Kimberley the tough questions: What’s really going on? What can you expect when starting a new design project? And do designers really thrust their own taste onto their unwitting clients?
Host Robin Siegerman starts off the show with her “Tip of the Week!” Thinking of starting a renovation project? You’ve bought all your materials and enlisted some help, but there might be one last thing you’re forgetting: A building permit. How do you know when you actually need a building permit? What are they? How do you get one? What kind of trouble will you get in without one? Robin has all the answers you’re looking for!
Kimberley Seldon joins Robin to answer questions and dispel common myths about interior designers. Will designers go out of their way to find you the lowest price? How long does it take to gather materials (in Canada VS. the United States)? How has the economy changed the “lead times” for ordering fabrics and prints?
Robin and Kimberley discuss the hush-hush topic of hourly rates (and how those rates effect you!) and describe how years of experience add up to speed and efficiency when working in your home. “You get faster, you get smarter, you get sharper…all those things,” says Kimberley Sheldon of her personal experience as an interior designer over the years.
Throughout this episode, you’ll learn everything you ever wanted to know about interior designers–as well as how to set your budget for when it’s your turn to have your very own home renovation. Tune in!

Uncertainty regarding the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), combined with industry market forces, including consolidations and strategic partnerships, positioning for value-based healthcare, cost containment efforts, an emphasis on technology and efforts to understand and address the whole patient as part of population health management have been key drivers in the healthcare industry this year.
With efforts to repeal and replace the ACA now focused on eliminating the cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments to insurers and changes to regulations governing association health plans, short-term, limited-duration insurance and health reimbursement arrangements, the healthcare industry can put aside the uncertainty of this year and move forward with the market forces in play.
During our annual strategic planning webinar, Trends Shaping the Healthcare Industry in 2018: A Strategic Planning Session, a 60-minute webinar on December 7th, now available for replay, industry thought leaders, David Buchanan, President, Buchanan Strategies, and Brian Sanderson, managing principal, healthcare services, Crowe Horwath, provide a roadmap to the key issues, challenges and opportunities for healthcare organizations in 2018.
Each year, healthcare executives rely on the strategic advice they receive during this annual Healthcare Trends & Forecasts webinar sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network. This 14th annual must-attend event covers the key issues for healthcare organizations in the year ahead and how they can strategically position their organization for success in this new environment.

Visión microscópica de un cáncer de pulmón donde las células inmunes (de color marrón) se infiltran entre las celulas tumorales (de color azul).
An article published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine by Dr. Manel Esteller, Director of the Epigenetics and Cancer Biology Program (PEBC) of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), ICREA Researcher and Professor of Genetics at the University of Barcelona, proves that a specific pattern of epigenetic alterations in lung cancer predictss whether the tumor will respond to therapy with anti-PD-1 antibodies, the most frequently used immunotherapy in oncology.
"Sometimes, tumor cells manage to hide so that our immune system, usually very effective, does not recognize them, and therefore does not destroy them. Current immunotherapy strategies manage to remove the cancer cell “disguise” so that our immune cells, such as T and B lymphocytes, can act against it”, explains Dr. Manel Esteller. However, there are several types of tumors against which immunotherapy is ineffective. Even within the immunosensitive ones, such as lung and kidney cancer, or melanoma, only about 30-40% respond effectively in the long term. "Therefore, it is important to know beforehand whether a tumor will be sensitive to immunotherapy or not, considering that these are expensive drugs and not without side effects”, the researcher adds.
"Epigenetic signals, such as DNA methylation, could be seen as switches capable of turning our genes on or off, so we thought that they should also be part of the system used by the tumor cell to escape from immune system control", says Dr. Esteller: after analysing hundreds of lung tumors, IDIBELL researchers realized that those who presented a specific epigenetic fingerprint, which they called EPIMMUNE, responded very well to immunotherapy compared to those who did not have it. The EPIMMUNE signature is found in one third of lung cancers and is associated with an increaset in T and B lymphocytes.
Given these results, the team aims to keep exploring this research line. "Now we want to broaden this type of studiy to other tumor types and other immunotherapies, for example using anti-PD-L1 or anti-CTCLA4 antibodies. In addition, this work is the result of the combined efforts of basic, applied and clinical researchers, as well as the combination of public funding and financial support from “La Caixa” foundation, without which this research would not have been possible" Dr. Esteller highlights.

One hundred fifty years ago, John Wesley Powell left Green River, Wyoming to begin an expedition to explore the Green and Colorado Rivers. On this journey, in May 1869, when he was awed by the sight of the red rock bluffs ablaze In color from the sun, Powell named the area Flaming Gorge. How satisfying it is to see that some things haven’t changed. The sunrise still turns the tops of the cliffs fiery red.

The success of Donkey Kong Country inevitably saw a sequel released. Likewise when Donkey Kong Land proved a similar platforming experience was possible on the Game Boy, it was a no-brainer that Rare would release a second handheld adventure. This time Donkey Kong has gone and gotten himself captured, and so it's up to Diddy and Dixie to run, jump and swim their way through Donkey Kong Land 2 to rescue him.
Considering the hardware's limitations the first Game Boy game did a good job of capturing the look of Donkey Kong Country, but sometimes suffered from the different elements blending together. For this game Rare has addressed the problem by having a bit less detail on-screen, mainly achieved with plainer backgrounds. There's still the occasional confusing moment (safe wooden platforms being hard to pick out from thorny vines for instance) and the odd graphical glitch, but overall the action is easy to follow; you're not going to find yourself getting clobbered by a Kremling you thought was a juniper bush.
Audio-wise the game has a few sounds for things like collecting bananas, bouncing off the heads of enemies and the crashing of barrels, but once again it's the music that impresses. Though sometimes a bit beepy there's a variety of fun, catchy, adventurous tunes. Other tracks go for mysterious, whilst the boss battles use a piece that's a bit more intense. The odd track can get a bit repetitive if you stay on a level too long but the game is certainly enhanced by the music featured here.
There's a range of foes throughout the game with the Kremling's going for a pirate theme. King K. Rool is now Kaptain K. Rool (complete with blunderbuss) whilst other Kremlings have cutlasses, hooks and peg-legs. More enemies can be found in the waters (piranhas and stingrays) and the skies (wasps and dragon flies). The levels are varied too: winds blow you back, other winds blow you upwards, sometimes you'll be jumping between platforms, other times shimmying along a rope. The action is certainly kept interesting and each level also includes treasure to find: Kremcoins, Banana Bunch Koins and Cranky's particularly hard to find Video Game Hero Coins.
Whilst Cranky doesn't appear in-game, there are two Kongs who provide you with help. Funky Kong's Funky Flight's service is used to travel to previous worlds and Wrinkly Kong will save your game for you if you visit her Kong Kollege; both of these services require payment of banana koins.
There are problems with this method of saving as it means you have to clear a few levels in a world before you can save your progress — having done that you may find you lack the banana coins necessary. The coins are easy to come by, but it will mean replaying a level first. Whilst this adds a bit of challenge as players must collect enough of the coins if they want to save, it doesn't make sense for a portable title that may only be played in short bursts. Luckily this is a Virtual Console release and whilst that means the (admittedly slight) Super Game Boy enhancements are gone, the restore point feature is available — which is a much better option for gaming on the go.
As fun as the levels are, anyone who has played Diddy's Kong Quest will find things here very familiar. The map screens closely resemble the 16-bit title and levels have the same names, although a few didn't make the cut. Whilst the levels are not identical, you do have to do the same things on them, so 'Mainbrace Mayhem' has you climbing masts to reach the goal, rising liquid causes trouble on 'Slime Climb' and 'Rickety Race' sees the Kongs in a speeding roller-coaster cart trying to knock Kremlings off the rails. It's quite interesting to play alternate versions of these levels (and there are a couple of stages unique to this title), but it's a shame things aren't a bit more like the first Donkey Kong Land which had new levels, new environments and even a few new enemies.
The controls are responsive with the two Kongs doing what your thumbs ask of them. As before A jumps and B is used for running, throwing and spin-attacking. Holding B whilst in mid-air with Dixie allows her to perform a helicopter spin and slowly float downwards — handy for clearing large gaps. The Select button switches between Kongs and is also used when controlling some of your animal friends.
There are a number of animals who appear in certain levels to help you with your quest and their abilities come in very handy. Holding Select down is used to perform charge attacks with Enguarde the swordfish and Rambi the rhino. For Rattly the snake it is used to jump higher. Whilst the Select button works OK for those actions, players may get frustrated when using Squitter the Spider. Certain sections require the spider to make web platforms to jump between — to do this you must fire a web with the B button (sometimes using up or down for direction) and then tap Select to set it in place. The platforms only stay in place for a short time before dissolving so you have to work quickly. This method was not ideal on the original hardware and due to the button placement would be even trickier on the 3DS were Select not also mapped to the much more convenient Y button. The 'Toxic Tower' level towards the end of the game sees Squitter having to make platforms to escape some rapidly rising toxic sludge, so mastering the technique is a must.
Players who do become the best web-spinner since Ben Reilly will find earlier levels with Squitter quite easy as you can just web-platform yourself over the dangers below. Similarly, find a high enough platform and Dixie's helicopter spin can be used to sail over long stretches of Kremlings and obstacles. Whilst this can make some levels easier, it also makes bonus areas and coins easily missed.
The difficulty is nevertheless well judged, overall, with the game starting off quite easy and then steadily becoming trickier. Hidden coins also become harder to find as you progress. To help you out extra life balloons are scattered throughout and you can also acquire extra lives by collecting 100 bananas or picking up the letters that spell out KONG on a level.
Your save file includes a percentage score so you can see at a glance how much of the game you have cleared. With 40 levels to beat and Kremkoins and Video Game Hero coins to find, anyone aiming for full completion will be kept busy. Acquire enough Kremkoins and you can gain access to the Lost World which features the final six levels of the game. If you have cleared/collected everything it's worth noting that your save file also lists the time you've spent playing the game, so you could always try to do it again but faster.
With more levels to play through and extra items to collect Donkey Kong Land 2 is certainly a bigger game than its predecessor, however it's not quite as impressive due to being a bit too similar to Diddy's SNES outing. Luckily the varied bunch of levels and enemies ensure that the game is still fun to play through. There's some cracking music, too, and with the amount of content Rare managed to cram into the game there's enough here to keep players occupied for some time.
I was considering this but if it's basically a portable DKC2 it seems I'm better off passing for now.
@Hero-of-WiiU Mystic Quest aka Final Fantasy Adventure aka Seiken Densetsu begs to differ.
sigh ....... where is the NA release? When will we get this gem of joy??
Just a 7? I've always thought of it as a 9 or 10. One of the best games of the handheld.
7 seems a bit low. Being similar to the SNES game, in this particular case, should be a feature, not a bug, since DKC2 is, in my opinion, one of the greatest platforming masterpieces of all time.
@ZenTurtle Man, I'd trade you that in a heartbeat.
It's a shame they didn't go the DKL way (having original enemies and levels) but this is otherwise an improvement over the Gameboy original original. Movement is now better, in DKL jumping was so stiff. SNES counterpart is obviously better but DKL2 is still a 9/10 gem. DKL2 and 3 are in top 5 Game Boy games easily.
Wasn't this one's music the first job Grant Kirkhope did at Rare? If so he made a damn fine work with "In a Snowbound Land"´s GB version.
The day when we get Kirby Tilt N´Tumble. Never. Thankfully I bought Twisted and it's the best Warioware title (and the ONLY ONE not released here!).
@Undead_terror Yeah but the best one is DKC2 and we have the broken 50hz version.
This is my favorite Game Boy game ever. This should get a 9 or 10. You probably gave it a 7 just because of the SNES counterpart. Admit it: is there a single Game Boy or Game Boy Color game that is better than DKL2? Maybe Pokemon, but even I prioritize this game over Pokemon.
Thing is, North American players often tend to forget about the truckload of stuff European players don't get.
@JaxonH "The wait is over. Finally!!!!!"
My only critique is you don't have much control over the height of your jump, (unless you use Dixie's helicopter spin mid-jump) making a few jumps tricky, (as your normal jump is quite high) but regardless the physics are much improved over the first DKL.
I also like how well DKC2's soundtrack translates to 8-bit.
I like this game but it does have some problems. If you want to save you have to get to the Kong Kollege and you can’t save in previous Kolleges in other worlds because you can’t go back to the world selection unless you defeat the boss or turn it off and turn it back on again, which will just delete your progress. Also if you play the game on Gameboys without color, you can’t differentiate some things very well and when you save it doesn’t save your coins or your lives.

Cycle Rural Japan Tour — Bushido Japan - Adventure Tours and Salamander Conservation.
Join Japan expert and cycling guide Richard Pearce for a special tour through the San-in region of Japan; a region of stunning beauty, rich in history and folklore, and of spiritual importance to the Japanese.
San-in features heavily in Kojiki, the oldest surviving chronicle of the mythical origins of Japan and its gods, and is seen as the birthplace of Japan. We follow a route in a famous Kojiki tale of the Deity Ōkuninushi and a white hare, between Inaba and Izumo, now known as Tottori and Izumo.
Our adventure begins near Tottori City, as we start our journey along the San-in coastline on the Sea of Japan, to Mount Mitoku, an ancient Buddhist Temple complex. Here we visit Sanbutsuji Temple and have tea with the priests. We will spend the night in traditional lodgings in Misasa Onsen, a spa-town famous for the health restoring properties of its water.
Our journey continues west to Yonago City, passing through rice fields, pear farms and fishing villages in the shadow of the stunning Mount Daisen. The next morning, we begin cycling from the top of the mountain. As we glide through beech forest and lush pastures, we can enjoy spectacular views over the Sea of Japan and of the majestic mountain itself. At the seashore, we cycle along a newly opened coastal cycle path that takes us to the Sakaiminato ferry port via Ejima Bridge, the third largest of its kind in the world, and the small islands of Eshima and Daikonjima.
The next stage of our journey takes us by ferry to the remote Oki Islands, once a place of exile for former emperors, for a two-night stay. Here, we cycle on Nishinoshima and the Dogo Islands, and walk the breathtaking Kuniga coastline.
Back on the mainland, the tour takes us to the “power spot” Mihonoseki Shrine where we can see the morning dances performed by the shrine maidens, before continuing along the stunning coastline en-route to Matsue.
The penultimate day will be spent exploring Matsue, with its impressive, original castle and the world-famous Adachi Museum.
Finally, we continue west along the along beautiful farm roads to Izumo Taisha, Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine and our goal.

Pre-heat oven to 175 C/350 F. Butter a spring-form pan, both the bottom and sides. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter the top of the parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie/double boiler, stirring to blend. Once melted and mixed, let cool.
Meanwhile, separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks and sugars (including the vanilla sugar if you have it) until the mixture is very thick, pale, and creamy. If using vanilla extract, mix it in.
Add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the egg yolk and sugar mixture. Mix until blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add a healthy dollop of the egg white to the chocolate mixture from step 4. Fold vigorously... don't worry about deflating the egg whites. Once incorporated, add 1/4 of the remaining egg whites and fold to incorporate. Now is the time to worry about deflating the egg whites! Once incorporated, add another 1/4 of the egg whites and fold. Continue until you have incorporated all of the egg whites.
You should now have a lovely chocolate mousse! Pour half of the mousse into your prepared spring-form pan. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Keep the other half of the mousse in the mixing bowl on your counter.
After the 20 minutes of baking, remove the mousse from the oven. Pour the remaining (uncooked) mousse into the now baked mousse. If the spring-form looks like it will overflow, wait a few minutes for the cake to deflate, then pour in the rest of the mousse. Allow the pan to come to room temperature, then freeze the cake for 2-12 hours. After a maximum of 12 hours, remove the cake from the freezer and keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Thanks for letting me know about the chocolate chilli bites! They look a bit more cakey-y than this recipe; this recipe is more mousse like. I've only ever made it as a cake, not as muffins. I think they could work well in silicon muffin forms: using a standard muffin tin, it would be hard to invert the muffins since the soft part (the mousse) is on top. But if using silicon forms, you could just pull down the silicon around the muffins. Whatever you do, happy baking!
Muffin was probably the wrong term. They are tiny, one-bite cups. The batter calls for only 1 T of flour but I omit it. They are very much like mini soufflés—puffy when first removed from the oven but they fall a little. They are not like mousse but not quite like cake either. Yours sounds delicious and would look more formal and be better for a dinner party. I end up with so many chili bites that I share some with neighbors, eat way too many and freeze a lot. Great straight from the freezer. My husband doesn't like them so they're all mine!
I have to admit, I sometimes make desserts that my husband doesn't like (namely anything with lavender, of which I'm obsessed but the husband hates) just so I can eat all of it!! :) Let me know if you try this recipe; I'd love to hear your opinion and thoughts on how to make it better.

Agriculture is the base of the region’s economy. More than 74% of the total work force is involved in agriculture. All agriculture activities except ploughing are done by women. Land holdings are very small (less than one acre on average) and highly fragmented. At present stage, in majority villages agriculture is not providing food for more than four five months in the upland mountain areas and eight to ten months in the valley areas where some irrigation is possible.
The effect of climate change is conspicuous and people are facing huge difficulties. Distress migration is at rise. Villages are getting evacuated at a faster pace than ever. Uttarakhand being one of the agriculture states of India, this poses huge threat to the food security of the country.
Changes in the global environment can be found through the evidences of wild animals which were not found earlier. The destruction of crops by wild animals is so high. People are completely dependent on Agriculture, and therefore, there is a loss of livelihood of the people with the degrading support for farmers in the state.
INHERE has been working with more than 3000 farmers in the districts of Almora, Chamoli, Champawat. Engaging youth in sustainable agriculture has been one strategy to stop the migration to cities in search of livelihood. Various agriculture tools, awareness and training programs are conducted for farmers at INHERE. Also, farmers are helped with organic certification of their crops and INHERE supports with the market linkage of the produce. Continuous engagement with the farmers for more than three decades now, have held INHERE one among the farmers. Market research for demand and place oriented crops are done and farmers are made aware of the same. A two way communication medium with the farmers is established where the farmers query about seeds availability, crop management, innovative irrigation systems, solar dryers, diseases resistant crop varieties etc are addressed.

In this section, there is a fine blending of physical movement, memories, letter writing, and contemplation. A good example is Herzog's riding the ferry toward Martha's Vineyard while his memories go back to other journeys. As he writes letters, he recalls the past in a series of finely developed associations. Physical interruptions of his memories give us perspective and reiterate the juxtaposition of internal and external journeys toward self-knowledge. His inward journey has taught Herzog that he cannot escape from himself, nor can he expect to hide in self-pity. His contemplation as he reaches the Sissler home marks one of the psychological turning points of the novel, just as his flight back to New York from Martha's Vineyard marks a physical turning point. Moses reviews the state of human nature, and he recognizes the comedy of his efforts to suffer in an extraordinary manner. Herzog has survived great emotional turmoil. All around him he witnesses death, decadence, and pessimism. Although he has tried to solve humanity's problems intellectually, he has been unable to find rational coherence. Although he has embraced a series of women, he has not found sexual fulfillment.
Modern identity, Herzog discovers, dangles between the extremes of Emersonian transcendentalism and the materialistic despair of Thomas Hobbes. He juxtaposes allusions to Hobbes with those of Jean Jacques Rousseau. Hobbes saw the state of nature as one of brutality, the hunger for power and warfare. Rousseau, on the other hand, pioneered the Romantic faith in the inherent goodness, innocence, and beauty of human nature. But it is difficult to reconcile ideals with facts. Thus, intellectually and emotionally, Herzog is unable to accept either attitude. Other characters in the novel seem to gravitate toward the Hobbesian pessimism, but Moses is attracted toward Romantic optimism.
However much Herzog is attracted to the Romantics, he cannot find symbols of spiritual truth in reality, as do the Romantics. Secluded in his Ludeyville retreat, he attempted to lose himself in nature but instead found himself unable to perceive either unity or truth. He looked too deeply at nature. He does the same thing now: He is stirred by the beautiful setting at Woods Hole while awaiting the ferry, but he realizes that nature, the universe, is not merely beautiful; it is also turbulent and angry. The Romantic vision is too often an illusion and too often only one side of the picture. If one looks, say, at nature, he can also see-besides its contradictory aspects — what humans have made of nature with their materialism, mechanization, and confusion. Thus Herzog, who at first was warmed by the beauty of nature, finds himself lost in contradictions and confusion.
In addition to Herzog's confusion at seeing contradictory aspects of a person or an idea, he is also disturbed by what he calls "potato love." He defines this love as a kind of sloppy sentimentalism that ultimately defeats humanism and rationality. He applies the term to himself, suggesting that his own intellectual failures have resulted from his emotionalism. Finally, he will realize that "potato love" is a positive impulse toward love and brotherhood; it is the spontaneous power of the heart. It is corrupted when the individual submits mindlessly to the emotions of the majority. The overall effect of Herzog's musings in this section will become clearer later in the novel as Moses ponders the loss of identity to the demands of society and as he slowly comprehends the inability of the intellect to fathom the needs of the heart.
The letters and memories involving Sandor Himmelstein are central to the novel since this New York lawyer confronts Moses with his failures as a husband and as a man. A dwarfish, crippled pragmatist, Himmelstein is typical of the reality-instructor figure found in all of Bellow's novels. He is loud, gruff, and profane in his diatribes against weak emotionalism. Like Herzog's psychiatrist, his doctor, and his relatives and friends, Sandor verbally attacks Moses. Yet more than by Himmelstein's criticism of Herzog as a person, Moses is more upset by his lawyer's negativism about the condition of human nature. He is outraged at Sandor's insistence on "facts" as the basis of reality; Moses refuses to surrender to a mass of "facts."
In an important moment of his quest, Herzog accepts the dictum of Spinoza that a man must first desire to exist, to survive, before he can live well or discover happiness. By rejecting Himmelstein's pessimism and the existential despair of the void, the meaninglessness of life, he achieves a desire to survive and asserts the continued endurance of the heart through "potato love," that spontaneous, genuine ability to love other people despite their shortcomings.
Part III ends with a significant turn in the plot. Herzog has just affirmed "potato love," yet the letter from Geraldine Portnoy shows us that the protagonist has not yet purged himself of hate and the need for revenge. The letter contains one of the central motivations of the novel. When Herzog learns of Valentine's treatment of June, he threatens to kill his wife's lover. Vicious hate, which Herzog deplores in other people, is deeply rooted in Herzog himself.

The lower portion of the couplet road (SE Middle Fork Road) will be closed from July 8 to August 2, 2013. King County is removing a deteriorating culvert and replacing it with a new fish passable one, including streambed gravel. This culvert scores high on the drainage priority list. Scouring is present at the culvert headwall, and the bottom is heavily corroded. The upper portion of the couplet, SE Lake Dorothy Road, will remain open for through traffic as a detour route.

On June 19, 2013 the US Senate approved the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Additions and Pratt and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers Protection Act, bringing it a step closer to becoming the law, but still requiring passage in the House. Before celebrating, it’s sobering to remember that we’ve been here before — in 2010 the 111th Congress passed the bill in the House, but not Senate. Then last year the bill did not come up for a vote in either branch of the 112th Congress. Originally introduced in 2007, there’s a chance that 2013 will finally see passage, bringing wilderness status to the lowland forests of the Pratt valley and increased protection for most of the Middle Fork river.

As the name suggests, this game from Bally Wulff delivers a dreamy Middle Eastern atmosphere and a chance for players to win big. The game matrix – comprised the usual five reels – is set in the courtyard of an opulent palace. The backdrop is detailed, with its ornate structures and a calming sunset lined with palm trees. There are considerably fewer paylines than is standard in this market, so your opportunities are somewhat restricted. As with most casino games, rewards are paid out according to your stakes. Mini games pop up with every winning spin, giving you even more chances to win. Click the ‘bet max’ control if you’re feeling lucky, or use the auto-spin function to stay with just one bet for a few spins at a time.

I’d like to take you on a digital tour of our home over the next few weeks. If you’ve never been here, we invite you reach out to us for a real tour. We love to share our home with others! But today, I’ll take you through the entry hall via the blog.
The entry hall runs the entire depth of the first floor creating a wonderful flow that invites you into the rest of the house. Just step through the front door made by Webster County artisan Peter Cornett, and you’ll see what I mean. You just want to keep walking to see what’s around the corner.
We love supporting local craftsman at McNemar House. Our front door was built by Webster County craftsman Peter Cornett.
The paint color in the entry which we also used in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and mudroom for continuity is Benjamin Moore’s Prentis Cream. Prentis Cream and every other color we selected for the house is part of Benjamin Moore’s Colonial Williamsburg collection– a collection of historically accurate colors based on colors found in Colonial Williamsburg. These colors worked well together and helped us stay true to the style of the house.
Entry hall at McNemar House.
The floors in the entry hall and throughout the home are actually ceramic tile. We love the look of wood, but wanted something that was a little more impervious to wear and tear. We are very pleased with the look of the tile. Plus, it’s also incredibly affordable. We sourced ours from Home Depot.
The metal and glass console table came from Overstock.com and is a Pottery Barn look-a-like of one of my favorite tables from The Tanner Collection. The console displays a rotation of our favorite small items currently including an old miniature camera that belonged to my great grandmother, a clay pot made from clay my Dad harvested and prepared from a clay deposit on our property and thrown by Bronson’s Aunt Karen (one of two McNemar property clay pots she made), an antique volume on mechanical engineering and one written by Thomas Jefferson on education, a VanNostrand pitcher, and another Karen Swecker pottery piece, and a cold cast bronze bust of Don Quixote by sculptor Andrew Thorne. Underneath the console is an A.P. Donnaghho stone jug from Parkersburg, WV and a smaller unlabeled stone jug along with a set of antique photographs of a Buckhannon, WV boy and his violin. Our fully functional cast iron book press sits beside the console.
While most people are familiar with Caspar David Frederich’s “Monk by the Sea,” I’m a huge fan of some of his lesser known pieces.Above the console are my three favorites printed on canvas and displayed in museum-style gold frames. Perhaps the most striking painting featured in the hall however is an original mixed media on panel painting by Liza Brenner Samples called “The End is Near.” The piece is heavy with gorgeous tones of red that help bring the color of our entry door inside. Folks who know me know that I’m sort of obsessed with cold war bunkers and doomsday prepping. I loved it before people called it “doomsday prepping”– before hundreds of shows were devoted the the idea, so not only is Liza’s “The End is Near” a piece that fits well into the entry, but I just love the girl cozied up in her cave with her little television and water bottles as chaos ensues above.
The entry leads to the library on the right, the kitchen and dining room on the left, and the living room to the far right. A walk through the double doors at the end of the hall will take you out onto the covered back porch, which I’ll talk about in the next post. So there you have it. That’s the McNemar House entry hall!
I absolutely love your style! Thank you for opening your home to us all.
Thanks Jen! You’ll have to stop by if you’re ever up this way. We’d love to have you!
