Camp Out Races...

Camp Out Fingerless Mitts, [ jenleigh's ] version.

Knit using both Noro Kureyon (colorway 217) and Silk Garden (colorway 337).
Knit on size US 7s.
Modifications below.

Baby Girl is due December 25th.  I. Kid. You. Not.  And I'm starting to panic a bit (a lot...) about having everything ready in time.  Furniture is due to arrive November 19th so we have a timeline for finishing up last minute touches to the nursery.  And I have a box full of layette and goodies waiting to be washed and put away.  (I'm stressing myself out thinking about it!)  But I still want to make sure I get Christmas knitting finished!  Handmade is just way better...

Because I'm limited for time this year, I decided to let Noro do the hard work for me, and I'll just take all the credit!  I love these Camp Out fingerless mitts by Tante Ehm.  The pattern is really simple and fast.  Not to mention the mitts turn out so lovely knit up in Noro, and are a knit that is sure to get lots of wear during the winter months.

The mitts shown Center are knit in Silk Garden, the outer mitts in Kureyon.
I still have a couple more pair to knit, and have been modifying the pattern slightly as I go along.  Here are my notes from my project page on Ravelry:

Believe it or not the pair of mitts shown in the browns and the pair shown in the yellow/turquoise mix come from the same colorway! I knit one pair from the center pull of 2 balls and the other from the outer of the same.

• I knit all 3 pair on size US 7s, but the Silk Garden came out quite a bit larger (shown center), which is GREAT because these mitts are really small. I personally like the Silk Garden version much better, and the color changes are much more dramatic. Not to mention the mitts are way softer.

• I also modified the sore thumb. There wasn’t much allowed for the thumb in the original pattern which made the mitts tight around my hand (I have really skinny hands). So I just added a second row of knitting between decrease rounds for the thumb and the size worked out much better, and there is more room for the hand.

• I still have a couple more pair of these to knit and I plan on either increasing 2 stitches either side of the wrist or finishing with 2 garter ridges because they are really tight.

Using a Basic Knit bind off makes these mitts nearly impossible to put on so instead I opted to: (k2tog, sl st back to left needle knitwise, k2tog) and repeating () to end of round. I’ll use this same bind off with extra wrist stitches or a garter ridge edge.

Even after blocking the Kureyon mitts are really small. If your want a little wiggle room I would recommend sizing up to a US 8.

I have some baby things finished and photos taken so I'll be posting them soon!  I hope everyone is well!

Happy Knitting!

Saper v. Viviani

decided: October 31, 1955.

Author: Clark

Before CLARK, Chief Judge, and MEDINA and LUMBARD, Circuit Judges.

CLARK, Chief Judge.

On March 20, 1936, John Viviane & Son, Inc., also known as John Viviani & Son, Inc., filed its voluntary petition in bankruptcy and schedules, and paid the required filing fee. It was thereupon duly adjudicated bankrupt and the matter was referred to Referee in Bankruptcy Stephenson. Since neither bankrupt nor any of its creditors came forward with the indemnity necessary for the expenses of the proceeding, the referee on December 3, 1936, filed a certificate closing the estate, as provided in the amended Bankruptcy Act § 2a(8), 11 U.S.C. § 11(a)(8). Early in 1952 the bankrupt conveyed a certain piece of realty which it had included in its schedules as an asset to Barbara Viviani, the wife of the president, and the deed was duly recorded. The City of New York condemned the premiss on April 15, 1953, for housing purposes; and the condemnation resulted in a decree for an award to Barbara Viviani in excess of $51,000. While the condemnation was pending she retained Nathan L. and Joseph Z. Goldstein as her attorneys, and they eventually instituted a proceeding in the Supreme Court of New York for an order directing the City to pay a portion of the award to them in satisfaction of their attorneys' lien.The City then raised question as to the validity of title to be conveyed in the light of the bankruptcy; and on January 10, 1955, the bankrupt presented its petition for the reopening of the proceeding. On February 8, 1955, the court signed a formal order of reopening and referred the matter to Referee Stephenson; and the bankrupt then made a deposit of $45. The first meeting of creditors was noticed for March 29, 1955, but none appeared; and the referee of his own motion on April 5, 1955, appointed the petitioner herein as trustee.

Thereafter the trustee filed his present petition seeking the condemnation asset as property of the estate and asking for injunctions against payments by the City to either Barbara or the Attorneys Goldstein. The City answered in effect assuming the position of stakeholder, while the others answered denying any present title in the trustee. Following the allegations of the bankrupt's petition for the reopening, Judge Dimock concluded that all creditors had been paid, and held in a reasoned opinion that the creditors had abandoned the asset by failing to take any steps in the interim period. Hence he denied the petition and vacated the preliminary injunctions, D.C.S.D.N.Y., 132 F.Supp. 633, thus in effect confirming the title of the respondents for the condemnation proceedings. The trustee then asked for a reargument, asserting that not all creditors were paid; but the judge, conceding that thus an issue of fact was presented, held this this was immaterial, since the property had been effectually abandoned by the creditors. Hence he reaffirmed his previous decision. The trustee now appeals.

It is the trustee's position that, even though he was not appointed until 1955, the bankrupt's property vested in him upon the adjudication in 1936 and could not be abandoned by the creditors or by anything short of an affirmative act of a trustee, approved by the court. In this court the respondents accept the position taken by Judge Dimock and support his conclusion that the creditors by nonaction have effectually abandoned and nullified all claim of the estate to the asset in question.

It will be apparent at once that the situation presents various anomalies, and that the parties have faced certain tactical difficulties, which, as resolved, have led only to new difficulties. Presented with the problem of how to get the money out of the hands of the City, the bankrupt sought a reopening of the abortive bankruptcy proceeding of nineteen years earlier with the intent of showing that there was nothing further to be done except to respect the conveyance to its president's wife. It was thus seeking certain benefits from a proceeding which it had allowed to die. The newly appointed trustee, on the other hand, is trying to attack the conveyance as in fraud of creditors who may well have allowed their claims to be barred by limitations, laches, or otherwise. We have not the facts, but it is easy to conceive that creditors could be both unduly prejudiced and unduly aided by this breach of life in the ancient proceeding. For it may result in favor to claims which should be really considered dead or in prejudice to other claims then or later accruing on the basis that no bankruptcy had taken place. So far as the record discloses, the creditors did not now, nor had they any occasion to know, of the bankruptcy proceeding in 1936.The district judge attempted to cut the Gordian knot by acting on the theory of abandonment; but this has the difficulty as to how creditors may be prejudiced by a court action of which they had no knowledge or in any event in which they had no occasion to participate. Obviously the real source of trouble is in the sudden coming to life of a proceeding dead for nineteen years.

Prior to the Chandler Act amendments of the Bankruptcy Act in 1938 it had become fairly well settled that failure to provide the indemnity required under Bankruptcy General Order 10, 11 U.S.C.A. following section 53, would result in dismissal of the proceedings and that the admonition of 11 U.S.C. § 95(g) against dismissal of a bankruptcy petition until after notice to the creditors did not apply to a proceeding which had failed to get under way for lack of the deposit of the required indemnity. Zimmerman v. Eden, 60 App.D.C. 338, 54 F.2d 449; In re Crisp, D.C.Tenn., 239 F. 419; In re Schwartz, D.C.E.D.N.Y., 16 F.Supp. 993, affirmed 2 Cir., 89 F.2d 172. The 1938 amendments provided that courts of bankruptcy could thereafter close estates for the additional ground "that the parties in interest will not furnish the indemnity necessary for the expenses of the proceeding or take the steps necessary for the administration of the estate"; it also provided that such courts might "reopen estates for cause shown" - "for cause shown" being a modification of the former "whenever it appears they were closed before being fully administered." 11 U.S.C. § 11(a)(8). Thus in place of the former order of dismissal of the entire proceeding we now have the referee's order closing the estate as here and we have a general provision that the estate may be reopened for cause shown.

The problem as to how much of the former law definitely terminating the bankruptcy upon failure to file indemnity is still preserved has been before the courts at different times. The courts have shown a very definite tendency not to allow a reopening of an estate for the benefit of the bankrupt when his act is the cause of the termination of the proceeding. Thus in a case which seems authoritative for the present issue, In re Perlman, 2 Cir., 116 F.2d 49, an estate had been closed for lack of indemnity and a judgment creditor had then proceeded by way of supplementary proceedings in a state action to attempt to realize on his judgment. The bankrupt obtained a reopening of the bankruptcy and a stay order preventing the creditor from proceeding with his garnishment. On appeal, however, our court reversed and held that motions to vacate the stay must be granted, since the bankrupt's excuse for failure to deposit his indemnity, that he could not get away from his job during working hours to attend a bankruptcy hearing, was too flimsy to be recognized. The present writer dissented in that case; but the circumstances there emphasized, of the considered exercise of discretion by an experienced trial judge where the bankrupt acted promptly within five days of notice to proceed with his bankruptcy, highlight the extreme nature of this case involving nineteen years' delay. Later we held our ruling res judicata so as to prevent a discharge to the bankrupt sought in a subsequent proceeding. Perlman v. 322 West Seventy-Second Street Co., 2 Cir., 127 F.2d 716. This precedent has been followed in various other decisions where we have refused to act at the behest of the bankrupt in supporting a reopening of the bankruptcy. See, e.g., In re Lowerree, 2 Cir., 157 F.2d 831; Duggan v. Franklin Square Nat. Bank, 2 Cir., 170 F.2d 922, 924; also In re Butts, 2 Cir., 123 F.2d 250.

It is true that a rather usual ground for reopening a bankruptcy estate which has been closed is the discovery of unexpected assets, and perhaps that may have been a background thought for the reopening. But such was not the course taken. The bankrupt had the burden of making a real showing of good cause; but the action as taken was of a purely formal nature. The order signed by the judge shows that it was on an ex parte application without notice and hearing, based on the petition of John Viviani, the bankrupt, "from which it appears that good cause has been shown for reopening the above-named estate and proceedings." Actually the petition shows quite the contrary. It contains a rather full recital of the facts and includes statements from various former creditors showing that they have no further claim. It initially assigns, as a reason for the petition, the determination whether or not the bankrupt should be discharged or the petition of 1936 be dismissed. After reciting the events which had transpired, it adds significantly:

"13. Because the alleged bankrupt is now solvent and not insolvent, it would appear incongruous to discharge it in bankruptcy. It appears the only remedy is to dismiss or cancel the pending petition of record."

Since an obvious purpose of the Chandler amendments to 11 U.S.C. § 11(a)(8) was to make unnecessary the barren formality of dismissal where the order of closing serves all purposes, it would seem that the petition conclusively showed the absence of good cause. As to the creditors, none have come forward to claim the benefit of the bankrupt's petition. Quite possibly a creditor could not thus properly step into the shoes of the bankrupt; but in any event, the court was in no position to know whether creditors, if existing contrary to the allegations of the petition, were to be helped unduly or prejudiced seriously by a grant of the petition.

Undoubtedly the Chandler Act presupposed a showing of persuasive reasons for the reopening of estates which had been closed; and obviously such showing should be the more pointed, the longer the time which had ensued. Where a business has been operating for nineteen years after bankruptcy proceedings have become abortive, it would seem at least difficult, and perhaps impossible, to attempt to restore things to their status at the time the original petition was filed with any assurance of fairness to all involved. At the very least there should be an exploration of these various considerations and a judgment based only on a record with adequate findings to show the statutory basis for the later proceeding. The need to satisfy the New York City authorities seems thus neither adequate nor efficacious for the purpose. Since there is thus no appropriate basis therefor, we consider that the present orders and the formal reopening of the estate upon which they stand are erroneous.

In view of this conclusion we do not need to consider the issue so much discussed below of abandonment. We think it proper, however, to point out in connection with petitioner's reliance upon In re Mirsky, 2 Cir., 124 F.2d 1017, certiorari denied Mirsky v. Conlew, Inc., 317 U.S. 638, 63 S. Ct. 29, 87 L. Ed. 514, suggesting the necessity of court approval of abandonment of assets by a bankruptcy trustee, that it is a far different case from the present one. There the bankruptcy proceeding did not prove abortive; even though no trustee was appointed because of lack of assets in the estate, it took its appointed course and served all purposes for which it could be made available under the circumstances.

The order appealed from is reversed and the proceeding is remanded to the district court with directions for dismissal of the motion for its ...

United States v. Ianniello

decided: January 18, 1989.

Appeal attacking order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Mary Johnson Lowe, J., denying, without a hearing, defendant's motion for a new trial. Appellants claim that ex parte statements made to the jury by the district judge and a federal marshal deprived them of a fair trial. Order vacated and case remanded for a hearing.

Feinberg, Newman and Altimari, Circuit Judges.

Author: Feinberg

FEINBERG, Circuit Judge:

Matthew Ianniello, Vincent DiNapoli, Louis DiNapoli, Nicholas Auletta, Edward J. Halloran, Aniello Migliore, Anthony Salerno, Richard Costa and Alvin O. Chattin appeal after judgments of conviction in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Mary Johnson Lowe, J. The subject of the appeal is the judge's denial of appellants' motion for a new trial and her refusal to recuse herself from deciding the motion. We vacate the order denying a new trial and remand to another district judge for further proceedings, including an evidentiary hearing.

Appellants were convicted of violations of the RICO statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq., and various underlying offenses following a thirteen-month trial in the district court. The jury was "semi-anonymous," that is, the trial court directed the jurors not to reveal their first names, addresses, or places of employment during voir dire. The jurors were also required to eat lunch together and were driven away from the courthouse at the end of each day. The jury convicted nine and acquitted two of the eleven defendants, failing to agree only on four predicate racketeering acts. After the verdicts were returned, defendants moved for a new trial and for recusal of the district judge in deciding the motion, claiming that they had been denied a fair trial because of ex parte communications between the judge and jury and an improper statement by a federal marshal to the jury. The district judge denied the motion without a hearing, holding that "the evidence submitted by the defendants in support of their motion lack[ed] sufficient reliability, clarity, and strength to warrant further inquiry." After imposition of sentences ranging from six years to 70, these appeals followed. Pursuant to an order of this court, the appeals have proceeded on a bifurcated basis with the questions dealt with in this opinion submitted to this panel on an expedited basis.

The alleged facts here are most unusual. In the district court, appellants offered three affidavits, allegedly signed by jurors and procured by a private investigator hired by defendants, swearing that three improper events took place during jury deliberations, two involving the judge and one involving a federal marshal. The affidavit of the jury foreperson states that the district judge, after about a week of deliberations, "appeared at their room and from the doorway told them they must work together and come to some decision. Either a conviction or acquital (sic), but she did not want a hung jury. All the jurors heard the Judge's remarks." According to appellants' calculations, the jury produced a verdict as to each defendant after deliberating for only seven and one half hours more after this incident. The foreperson's affidavit also claims that on another occasion, while she was in the judge's "room" making a telephone call, "the Judge admonished that [she] must pull the others together and reach a verdict [on the forfeiture decisions], again stating that she did not want a hung jury." The exact timing of this incident is unknown.

The affidavit of another juror stated, "the Judge did not want a split decision, it had to be yes or no. . . . [The juror] remembers the Judge once coming to the door and reminding them to either convict or acquit, but she did not want a hung jury." On another occasion, while in the judge's room making a telephone call, "the Judge told [the foreperson] to go back and try to convince the others to agree." The affidavit of the third juror indicated that it was also his understanding that "we could not have a 'hung jury' we had to either find the defendants guilty or not guilty."

One of the affidavits also stated that "during the deliberation the jury Foreperson was advised by the Marshall (sic) that we had to listen to over one hundred tapes if we didn't come to some decision." Although the foreperson's affidavit does not corroborate that the marshal made such a statement, it does say that "she was told the people outside are becoming tired of this, if you don't come to a decision soon you are going to have to listen to over one hundred tapes and you'll really be stuck, so pass that on to the others." After this last incident, according to appellants' calculations, the jury deliberated only three and one half hours more before returning a verdict.

Appellants claim that these events deprived them of a fair trial and coerced the jury into a verdict. They argue that the judge's comments would have been improper even if they had been delivered in open court because the jury never gave any indication to the court that it was deadlocked and the instructions lacked a necessary element of a valid Allen charge--a reminder that the jurors should not abandon their conscientiously held doubts.*fn1 Appellants claim that the judge told the jury that there could be no hung jury and that this was fundamental error, citing, e.g., United States v. United States Gypsum Co., 438 U.S. 422, 57 L. Ed. 2d 854, 98 S. Ct. 2864 (1978), and Jenkins v. United States, 380 U.S. 445, 13 L. Ed. 2d 957, 85 S. Ct. 1059 (1965) (per curiam). The jury followed this erroneous instruction, appellants contend, as evidenced by its reaching a verdict on each and every count of the indictment as to each defendant, totalling over 160 findings of guilt or innocence. Appellants claim that the ex parte nature of the instructions aggravated the error, denying defendants' Sixth Amendment right to confrontation, and violating Fed. R. Crim. P. 43, under which a defendant has the right to be present when the court communicates with the jury.

The government responds by raising doubts as to whether the judge's and jurors' alleged statements were made at all, or, in the case of the jurors, made freely. It also argues that even if the statements were made, they were harmless. It claims that in context, and under all the circumstances, the jury was not coerced into a verdict as shown by the fact that it continued deliberating and failed to reach agreement on some of the predicate acts. The government does not agree with appellants' estimates of how much time the jury deliberated. The government also argues that the law creates a presumption against the hearing requested here, and that this court should be reluctant to allow reexamination of a jury verdict, because such inquiries lead to jury tampering and harassment. Like the district judge in her opinion, the government contends that the proffered affidavits reveal facial inconsistencies and indicate unreliability, arguing that the proof appellants have offered is insufficient to require a new trial or even a hearing.

It would be entirely inappropriate for this court to order a new trial at this time, when it is not clear what occurred, United States v. Gersh, 328 F.2d 460, 464 (2d Cir.), cert. denied sub nom., Mugnola v. United States, 377 U.S. 992, 12 L. Ed. 2d 1045, 84 S. Ct. 1919 (1964), or whether defendants suffered prejudice. At oral argument, appellants seemed to retreat from their request for a new trial, pressing instead their demand for an evidentiary hearing. The gravity of granting such a request should not be underestimated, however, because even a post-verdict evidentiary hearing raises serious questions. "The duty to investigate arises only when the party alleging misconduct makes an adequate showing of extrinsic influence to overcome the presumption of jury impartiality." United States v. Barshov, 733 F.2d 842, 851 (11th Cir. 1984), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 1158, 83 L. Ed. 2d 919, 105 S. Ct. 904 (1985), citing United States v. Winkle, 587 F.2d 705, 714 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 444 U.S. 827, 62 L. Ed. 2d 34, 100 S. Ct. 51 (1979). As the judge pointed out in her opinion below, hearings such as the one that appellants request should be "avoided whenever possible."

We are always reluctant to "haul jurors in after they have reached a verdict in order to probe for potential instances of bias, misconduct or extraneous influences." United States v. Moon, 718 F.2d 1210, 1234 (2d Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 971, 80 L. Ed. 2d 818, 104 S. Ct. 2344 (1984). As we have said before, post-verdict inquiries may lead to evil consequences: subjecting juries to harassment, inhibiting juryroom deliberation, burdening courts with meritless applications, increasing temptation for jury tampering and creating uncertainty in jury verdicts. Miller v. United States, 403 F.2d 77, 82 (2d Cir. 1968); United States v. Crosby, 294 F.2d 928, 950 (2d Cir. 1961), cert. denied sub nom., Mittelman v. United States, 368 U.S. 984, 7 L.

Burress eyes work release – and shot at playing

Barely two months into his two-year gun-possession sentence, Plaxico Burress is already angling to get out of prison — and to shop for a lucrative NFL contract.

The disgraced former Giant superstar has applied for a work furlough that would let him spend anywhere from one to seven nights a week home with his wife, 3-year-old son and newborn daughter, state Department of Corrections officials confirm.

If his request is granted, Burress could also immediately start looking for a new team while on furlough time — sitting down for negotiations face to face rather than via prison phone calls or visits.

Burress is currently in protective custody at Oneida Correctional Facility in upstate Rome, where visitors to other inmates tell The Post that Burress appears depressed and isolated.

A decision on the furlough will likely come sometime in January, said state Corrections spokeswoman Linda Foglia.

“If Mr. Burress is eligible for work release under the Department of Corrections’ guidelines, then he should get it,” said the player’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman. “And my hope is that his celebrity status does not prevent him from getting a break that every other inmate with the same facts would be entitled to.”

In November 2008, Burress fired the shot heard ’round the NFL, accidentally blasting himself in the thigh at the Latin Quarter nightclub in Midtown while grasping at his unlicensed Glock as it slipped from his waistband and down his pants.

Burress was indicted on two counts of gun possession, under two theories of possession. The first count charged that he possessed a loaded gun with intent to use it unlawfully. The second count charged that he merely possessed the loaded gun and wasn’t in his home or business.

Fast forward to last August: Burress pleaded down to a lesser charge of attempted gun possession — but only under the second theory, that he merely possessed the gun and wasn’t home or at work.

That plea let Burress take advantage of a Corrections loophole — courtesy of Executive Order 9, signed by then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer in 2007 — that lets gun-possession convicts apply for furloughs providing they didn’t possess the gun with intent to use.

Corrections rules are rife with such arcane loopholes.

“If you’re savvy and know how to work the rules, the minimum is not the minimum, in spite of what looks like an iron-clad sentence,” one senior law-enforcement official complained.

Burress’ furlough application is still a Hail Mary pass, at least statistically. According to Corrections stats, out of 31,598 inmate applications for work release last year, only 1,413 were approved.

It’s not gonna fly, guy!

WING IT: Philippe Jernnard (inset) allegedly tried a Leonardo DiCaprio-style “Catch Me If You Can” ID scam. (

Catch him if you can — and they did.

Cops busted a French traveler who tried to pull off an action-movie-style con after he posed as a pilot, then sneaked into a US Airways cockpit, police say.

Philippe Jernnard, 60, allegedly donned a phony pilot uniform and sweet-talked his way into the front of the jet — much like famous con man Frank Abagnale, who inspired the flick “Catch Me If You Can,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Police say the Frenchman boarded with a ticket, then sat down in a jump seat behind the captain’s chair before an airline worker discovered something amiss. Jernnard couldn’t provide legitimate pilot verification, so the crew kicked him out of the cockpit and called police.

Jernnard allegedly pulled the wacky stunt after a ticketing agent refused to upgrade his business-class seat on the Palm Beach, Fla.-bound flight Wednesday out of Philadelphia.

“He was irate and became argumentative with the agent before he boarded the plane,” Officer Christine O’Brien told The Post.

Airline workers then took a head count and realized a ticketed passenger was missing from the business-class section of the plane, O’Brien said.

Jernnard, who lives in La Rochelle, France, was dressed in a black jacket with an Air France logo, complete with four gold stripes on each shoulder and a white button-down shirt.

He was carrying a poorly crafted, makeshift crew badge and told pilots that he flew 747 jets for Air France, cops said.

The bizarre move mirrors the scams of Abagnale, who for years posed as a Pan Am pilot in order to fly around the world.

His story hit the big screen in 2002, with DiCaprio playing the con artist.

In the movie, DiCaprio makes his way into a jet cockpit by charming the crew and distracting the FBI.

Jernnard wasn’t quite as smooth.

Officers escorted him from the jet and found him in possession of a counterfeit Air France crew-member ID card, cops said.

He was charged him with false impersonation, forgery and trespassing at Philadelphia International Airport.

Cops also charged him with breaking into a structure and tampering with records.

He’s being held on $1 million bail, and federal charges are likely, authorities say.

Pilots can typically ride for free in the jump seat of another airline, but they must notify the airline and the pilots ahead of time.

Pilots review all approved cockpit passengers before takeoff — so Jernnard didn’t stand a chance.

5 reasons why I really, really, REALLY love my springless mattress

June 4 |
I love it! So does my kid! And my dog!

My husband and I have slept on springless mattresses the entire time we've known each other — so we're coming up on six years of no-springs-in-our-bed glory. It's been so heavenly, and so long since I've been on a bed with springs for more than one night in a row, that I forget just how uncomfortable they can be.

We recently downsized our bed (living in a small space with a kid will do that to ya) and purchased this amazing little wonder for $188 — shipping included. Besides being super inexpensive, I have four more reasons why a springless mattress can rock your world:

They're not super bulky

Our mattress came in a relatively tiny box (compared to some that I've seen), and it's six inches thick. NOW WAIT: I'm sure some of you are all "WHAAAAAAAT? I need a mountain of clouds to sleep on!" Let me assure you: this is what I said to my husband when we first talked about getting a new bed. I NEED CLOUDS FOR MY SLEEP! But he convinced me otherwise, and once we began our springless sleeping adventure I soon realized he's totally right.

They shape themselves around you in no time

My favorite feature of springless mattresses is that the top will shape itself around your body shape. I'm a bit of a tosser and turner, so I thought this wouldn't work for me — but it does. After a week or two of sleeping in them, our mattresses have always shaped themselves around us. I can't completely describe what it's like to sleep in a bed that is formed around your body until you've done it, so I'll just say: it's awesome.

They don't drive you crazy with weird pressure points

There is NEVER an uncomfortable spot on a springless mattress! No random coil that's kind of digging into your hip or the back of your knee — it's a smooth surface that makes for smooth sleep. Granted, there are some amazing coil mattresses that prevent this, but they're also pretty expensive. If you're on a budget (or have serious back pain) and looking for a mattress that will make your bed a nice play to be, springless may be the way to go.

They won't aggravate your allergies

Most springless mattresses are hypoallergenic. My husband has asthma and is allergic to dust (lucky guy!), so it's imperative that he sleeps in a bed that doesn't trap dust mites and other various allergens.

Like I said: they can be pretty cheap

Expensive options always exist, but the brand of mattress we bought (Parklane) starts at $160 for a Twin and runs up to $201 for a Queen. The last time I checked, those prices were stellar.

  1. Do you just use traditional box springs underneath the foam mattress? We've been trying to figure out what we want to do to replace our old mattress and can't decide if you get a new set of box springs with the foam ones or not.

    1 agrees
    • We actually just have wood slats underneath and have never had any problems with it!

      4 agree
    • You can use your old box spring with your new foam mattress. The foundation only really gives you height so there's no gap between your mattress and headboard. If you have a platform bed (with slats) you can get away without one.
      Hope this helps!

      2 agree
  2. My partner and I splurged for a Sleep Number bed, so while it's not quite the same design as yours, it is springless. One of the other awesome things about springless beds is that they are quiet and still. My partner can get up before me, go to bed after me, or toss and turn… and my side doesn't wiggle or squeak at all. That's also nice during "other activities," and I can imagine especially so if you have thin walls and roommates/kids/apartment neighbors who don't want to listen to your squeaky bedsprings.

    4 agree
    • Colleen, my hubby and I have a sleep number and its truly a love/hate relationship with the bed. I love that I can have my bed somewhat firm and his side can be like a hammock. The downside is falling in the middle and sleeping practically on top of my husband.

      3 agree
      • Yes, true. We've actually settled on somewhat similar firmness levels (for now, at least) so that mitigates the problem a bit. The firmness still feels different if I lay on my side vs. his side, though, because his is calibrated to his body weight and vice versa. It is kind weird to have half the bed feel different than the other half. Definitely not for everyone!

  3. This may be a … unique question, but what if you don't always have the same person sleeping in your bed? It's super comfortable to sleep on a mattress formed around your body shape, but how comfortable is it to sleep on a mattress formed around someone else's body shape? Or if two people spend equal time on one side of the bed does it just get oddly compressed and lumpy?

    2 agree
    • Hmm! Totally an interesting question! I mean.. let's see. In our case it's not like the mattress forms a perfect groove around our body shape, it's more like it just gets more and more comfortable with you the longer you sleep in it. I like springless so much I'd go out on a limb and say it'd be fine, but I think this is definitely a question better answered by someone who has a similar situation. I hope someone else weighs in!

      1 agrees
      • A simple experiment (if you're willing): switch sides of the bed with your partner for a night. Still comfy?

        • My husband and I don't swap sides when we're both in the bed, but if one of us gets up early, goes to bed late or is away that night it's a bit of a free for all. I tend to sleep in a weird face down starfish type position in the middle of the bed (taking up the entire thing), he will just steal my side. It feels different but it's not uncomfortable or lumpy.

          Our matress is fairly solid and feels very firm so like Stephanie said there's no noticable groove, but when you're lying on it in your normal position it feels like the bed is wrapping around you a little bit, moving with you.

          2 agree
    • if it is a cheap one like the one Stephanie speaks of (and like the little more expensive but still cheap compared to name brand) It would depend on how often the sleeper changes and if there is 1 person always sleeping in it. before my husband and I got married the few times I stayed the night for just 1 nihgt the bed was heaven! BUT now that we are married the bed has formed a duckduck sized hole in the middle from the 4 years he had it before we got married and now about 7 nights out of the month I just can't take it and I go to sleep on the couch. When we can afford to get a new bed (lets face it a kitchenaide stand mixer is on the list before a new bed) I'm not so sure I will opt for getting another foam mattress. and our bed doesn't swqueak, but the frame does and the wood creeks like an old house making the bed louder at night romps.

      1 agrees
      • You know, I'm not sure if this is just because of the mattress. My husband and I have always had foam mattresses, and we've been together (and sleeping in the same bed) for six years and never had this problem. In fact, for the first year we used the mattress he had already used for four years and it was totally fine, AND we've always bought cheaper versions of springless mattresses — never spent more than $250 for one.

      • This is a similar problem we also had with our foam mattress. Ours is a cheapie from Ikea and, after four years of constant use by my partner and I, and our two 45+ lb. dogs, it's compressed itself into an uncomfortable mess to where neither of us can get a good night's sleep. Like in many things, you get what you pay for and quality does matter. We're now shopping around for a new mattress and we're considering opting for a combination mattress–one of the kind that has a layer of foam *over* a spring mattress.

        1 agrees
  4. Anyone know how these work out for fat folk? My partner and I plus kiddo is around 700 pounds and our situation is currently miserable

    2 agree
    • You know, I can't speak with total authority, but the springless mattress we have is pretty firm and gives a lot of support. I would IMAGINE that a springless mattress maybe combined with some kind of mattress topper would be awesome?

      • I have a springless (futon) with a mattress topper it is AMAZING! It is sleeping on giant fluffy clouds, much more so than a spring mattress is

    • I was wondering the same thing. My boyfriend and I are in desperate need of a new mattress. Our current one has developed a pointy spot that's driving me crazy. And I'm a side sleeper with giant hips so I'm hoping a springless mattress might be exactly what I'm looking for.

    • @Courtney as a plus sized gal with a chubby guy (around 450lbs)and a foam mattress I can tell you that, we love it! Totally comfy. We bought ours from ikea (of all places)and while the cost was above what is approximated here it has been well worth it!

      1 agrees
    • My boyfriend and I are on a springless latex mattress (yes you can make this work with a latex allergy, just get an allergy cover, we did) with pine slats underneath. Together are probably between 600-650 lbs and we both love it. We've actually had less problems than with regular mattress plus box spring, as in, haven't broken the supports, no pressure points, super comfortable. And we've never had an complaints from sleepover guests. Also, it's just as comfy laid out on the floor.

      1 agrees
      • Definitely agree about the floor part — we only recently bought an actual bed (our first in 6 years), and before that always had the mattress on the floor or on a metal frame.

    • I know this is late but for those just coming to the party: my husband is quite large, and we have a memory foam mattress. I did some research and for those who are larger, you want to get a mattress that is thicker. At least 10"-12" thick depending on how large you are. For that weight you mentioned I'd go for 12" thick at least. The thinner it is, the more you will compress it and feel what's under it when you sleep. You want thick AND high density foam. The nice folks at the mattress stores can help with that part I think.

  5. We have a memory foam mattress too!
    And I manged to fit a full bed mattress in the back of my beetle!! (Ok so I had to put the roof down to physically manouvere the box in, but once it was in I put the roof back up!)

  6. Oh my. When I lived alone (aka, before husband), I had a double foam bed and it. was. heaven. I plunked a one inch memory foam topper on it and yes, it did 'mold' to you a little bit but I'd actually recommend it to people who like firmer mattresses — at least mine was. I originally picked it out as a teenager because it was the cheapest option – best decision ever! Now I'm tempted to convince the husband that we need to move up to a king, mainly so I can get a deliciously comfortable foam mattress again. Ahh..

    1 agrees
  7. I'm afraid I must disagree here. I've slept on a memory foam matress for 4 years and I hate it with a passion. I hate feeling the nook my body has carved on my side of the bed when I roll and want to sleep in the middle, I hate when it's hot and I feel like it "swallows" me a little, even if only a fraction of an inch. Spring mattresses do not have to be squeaky or have weird poking springs if you choose a high quality pocket spring one. Especially if said mattress is topped by a 2-inch layer of memory foam or latex, depending on your taste. Yes, they are a LOT more expensive, but they may be a better choice (and not as nightmare-ish as you pictured them!) for people who prefer a firmer bed. And yes I'm spending a humongous chunk off my savings to get a new mattress when we move in 2 months. My husband thinks I'm crazy too 😉

    8 agree
    • Memory foam is different to regular foam. It's supposed to sink and form around you, then return to it's original shape gradually when you change position or get up.

      A normal foam matress isn't like that, it's firmer and won't change nearly as much or as quickly. It takes weeks or months to make a noticable difference and shouldn't ever form nooks like memory foam.

      • The problem I've had with regular foam mattresses before is that they end up "sinking" at my hips, I guess because I'm much heavier there than at the upper part of my body, and then I don't have good enough support for my back. But maybe I'm just a weirdo, LOL 😀

        2 agree
        • I had the exact same experience as you. My SO got a high quality foam mattress as a gift, but I am significantly pear-shaped. My heavier lower half would sink in causing intense strain on my back. It took months for the resulting pain to fade after getting rid of the mattress. I think people need to remember that no mattress is perfect for everyone.

          4 agree
  8. I like the idea of a springless mattress because husband and I go to bed at different times, and him getting in bed and finding a comfortable position often wakes me up and makes me grumpy pants.

    2 agree
  9. No (or less) motion transfer is my favorite, especially when I have a tossing-turning husband, a wiggly terrier and a toddler that has no plans on leaving the family bed anytime soon!

    1 agrees
  10. I wap between a springed and spring-less matteress due to college and home. I feel such a difference between the too. The sring-less is so much better for my back (I have several injuries and on the verge of an operation). They also last longer. My mum who was a huge springed fan till she slept in mine and now she wants 1 too (she likes a firm matteress). I recommend people atleast try them when next buying a matteress. You an also get different firm-ness 1s too now!! (or atleast in the UK)

  11. I'm progressing from daydreaming to serious planning & prep to go either small house or houseboat in 2 -3 years as I transition into my emptynester adventure Life 2.0.

    I am REALLY intrigued after reading this article. Questions: How easily does your mattress roll up/fold?

    Would it work well for a futon-ish, counch/bench that's also a bed situation?

    How do you clean it?

    I am soooo bookmarking this article! 🙂

    • As a grad student who's moved quite a bit, our latex mattress is super easy to transport. It rolls/folds quite easily, we stored mine in a storage unit rolled and held closed with bungee cords with zero damage.though I'm not sure about using it for a futon that you are going to fold up like a couch since it can be floppy when you have it folded, but most futon mattresses are springless, so I really couldn't say.
      We clean ours with a washcloth dipped in a little bowl of laundry detergent dissolved in cold water. You just scrub and let dry, works for any spots or stains, (it's worked great for blood, and "fun time" stains).

  12. I got the cheapest foam mattress from ikea, and I have to say, I think it's a fantastic purchase for where I am in my life (aka, moving every 4 months). While you'll never be able to get the mattress back into the same size as it came vaccumm packed in the store, if you take two long poles (I've used a broom and a mop), sandwich an end between the two poles and roll it up tightly around the poles, you can still roll the mattress so it'll fit in a car. I must admit though, if money wasn't so much an object, I probably would have gone up one or two in the ikea lines.

    Also, I think foam matresses are fantastic for sleeping with someone. Previously, my SO and I shared a full standard 'springed' mattress. This weekend, we stayed on my twin bed. It was actually way better, as the only time I woke up because of movement was when he actually bumped me.

  13. IS the foam/springless mattress hot? I've heard from various people that certain name brand foam mattress tend to get really hot, so i've always avoided them.
    It's already 97 degrees where i live, and at night it only goes down to about 75-80. Since we don't have anything other than fans to keep us cool, we need a bed that will stay cool.
    Second question: how does the thinner mattress work with sheets? Do standard size fitted sheets fit, or are they too big- slipping and sliding all over?

    • Our latex mattress does not get hot, I've definitely never noticed it retaining our body heat and I cannot sleep if I am hot. We have only had a problem with slippage if we get the sheets that are extra deep for pillowtop mattresses. As long as you pull it under all the way around it should stay just fine, even if you don't have a frame.

    • I was going to say the same thing as Aimee — I live in Alabama and it's been over 95 degrees a lot already this year. We don't use our air conditioning and have one fan in a window and we're fine. 🙂

      We've also never had a problem with regular fitted sheets!

    • We have a foam mattress from Ikea, with a memory foam topper, and I find it tends to run a bit warm but not uncomfortably so.

    • Husband-elect and I disagree on this. I have a memory foam mattress from Ikea. I don't find it hot, but the few times he's napped on it he's found it hot. But I also have flannel sheets, so.

    • I live in the tropics with average temperatures of about 86 at night and almost 100 in the day, with an average of over 85% humidity… and I do find foam mattresses very warm without air conditioning. Your mileage may vary though. 🙂

  14. This has made me curious. I may have to save my pennies and give this a shot.
    My husband and I spent nearly 1,000 buying a nice firm pillowtop a couple years back, but within a few months it had developed a serious dent in the middle. My husband is a big guy but even turning it or switching sides didn't help. Since I'm half his weight every night not to roll on top of or under him.

    SO do you find that lying too far to the side makes you feel like you're on a steep angle and about to pitch inward? Do you think this is a likely outcome?

    • I have never had the rolling down hill problem on our latex mattress, but we get it all the time on the spring mattress in my room at my parents house. Nothing is less fun than rolling into your bedmate(s) while trying to sleep lol. We have a queen size mattress and I feel just as supported whether I'm on the very edge or curled up right against my boyfriend. I've had this mattress for almost 4 years and we haven't had any problems with lumps, or spots losing their support, or anything.

  15. I'm not sure if the new ones are better but in my experience foam mattresses gather moisture and can go mouldy. My sister had this happen and she didn't even realise – half the mattress had rotted beneath her and she didn't even realise – GROSS!

    • My house is extremely prone to mould, pretty much anything left against an outside wall will get black patches behind it, even when we keep the windows open for air flow and run a dehumidifier. But the only time the matress got mouldy was when the bed frame broke and we had it sitting directly on the floor for about 2 weeks before we got a new frame.

      It was only after that I found out you're supposed to air out or flip matresses every day if you don't have them raised off the floor.

      • That's what I was going to say — if you flip it (we flip ours every few weeks or so) then you shouldn't have a mold issue with the mattress.

  16. I have a foam matress and I love it. Before we got this one we were using my husbands old spring matress. This thing was only about 5 years old and it was already lumpy and creaky and one broken spring was even poking right out of the matress!

    The one we've got now is 5 years old now too and it feels almost like new. I think the foam has softened in places (it was very firm when we got it) but theres no noticable lumps or dips.

    One thing I would say is to bear in mind that memory foam is very different to normal foam. Reglar foam won't move as much when you press down on it but it will spring back into position faster. Memory foam will sink and shape around you when you lie on it then slowly return to it's original shape when you move, so if you shift position you'll be lying on lumps for a little bit.

    I know some people absolutely swear by it but I could never sleep on memory foam. Regular foam I absolutely love.

  17. Four years ago, I traded my full sized bed (regular mattress) with a coworker who had moved to a smaller apartment. I got her brand new king sized memory foam mattress. It was the best trade I ever made. We LOVE the foam! We are both giants, with very different sleeping styles, and the foam means neither of us is uncomfortable or waking the other up by shifting around or getting up to pee. We have it flat on the floor because this is the most comfortable option for us, and it is very comfy. I do not flip it and have never had a mold problem. It does not feel any warmer than a regular mattress in summer to me and I'm one of those can't sleep if I'm hot people. The only thing I will say is that it's a straight up BITCH to move…it weighs a ton and is a big awkward marshmallow so you can't get a grip on it to balance like you can a regular mattress. When I got it it was rolled up in a duffle type bag, and I unzipped it and it just blobbed out and swelled up to full size. However, mine is never going back in the bag, no way, and I've had no luck rolling it up because it's super thick. Still, the comfort and the improvement in my morning pain level to me is worth the annoyance of wrestling the thing into a new place.

    1 agrees
  18. I have a futon bed that I got when I started university because it was cheaper than a boxspring and traditional mattress and I absolutely LOVE IT. We got a thick memory foam topper for it and it is like sleeping on fluffy clouds! Everyone who has visited me and slept in it is amazed at the comfort and softness. I'd definitely say as others have the lack of squeakyness during certain activities is a huge plus. One of my favorite features, because sometimes I'm really excited about sleeping, is being able to jump onto the bed and just be absorbed in snugglyness instead of making a loud crashing sound landing on a spring mattress.
    While mine is quite thick because it's a futon, it can't roll up, but it's easy to transport (I moved every year for 4years in university) and I have the wooden slat bed frame which is much easier than a real bed frame. Now that I've been living with my boyfriend, my beloved springless is in storage and we've been sleeping on his mattress, it's definitely squeaky and a bit poke-y and makes me even more appreciate my bed.

  19. What are they like, temperature wise?

    I've been curious to try a memory foam mattress, but Mr. Ivriniel overheats easily (if he had his druthers the house would be 15 C year round) and is worried that someone that conformed to his shape would make him too hot.

    • In the summer, I notice that they are a little warmer, but not uncomfortable. Next summer I'm going to put a cotton mattress pad over the top, which will allow for a little more breathability. My husband is the ultimate chunky-dude head-machine. He has never felt too hot in the bed (though he sleeps without covers in the summer).

  20. Just curious about the, ahem, fun times – is it difficult to change positions? I mean with all the sinking in and body molding going on is it difficult clambering around? Is there more friction or less support for the moving, lifting, and uh, switching that goes on? Oh, my, I must sound very acrobatic ;), but really, I've spent the night sleeping on my cousin's foam bed, and found crawling across it to my designated side exhausting so I can only imagine how more involved, intimate, and longer-lasting (one hopes!) efforts might be cumbersome…

  21. How small is the box exactly? I'm planning to order one but I don't know if it will be too big for our mailroom (if so I'll get it shipped to a friend's house) Thanks!! This article helped me find the perfect affordable bed for us

  22. We have an amazingly comfortable Temperpedic. My husband bought it about 4 years ago, in his bachelor days. When I slept on a coil mattress, I always had lower back pains in the morning. I noticed that when I would stay at his place, I always woke up feeling better — no pain and a much better night's sleep. It was amazing. After 4 years (including 5 months that it lived in a storage POD) it's still in great shape and incredibly comfy and supportive. It's more on the pricey-side of coil-less mattresses, but in my opinion, it's worth it. You have to keep liquids away from it (so says my husband), so if you co-sleep with an occasional bed-wetting human or animal, or love to eat soup in bed (literally…although that's now my new favorite euphemism…) then you might need a rubber sheet or some kind of barrier. We've never had a problem with sexytime liquids, you just need to avoid a major spill.

  23. My partner and I recently had a mattress-purchasing debacle, which may or may not be ongoing.

    We bought a pocket-spring-coil, euro-pillow-top, cool-gel-memory-f0am, $4,000 mattress at a model year end sale at a department store for 80% off. A bit of a rushed purchase because the day I did all the research about new mattresses, they were ending the sale. The first one that was delivered to us, the bottom thread of the sewing machine they used for the entire mattress was missing–so all the threads were tucked into their patterns, but if you bumped them at all they fell off. Stuffing was popping out of the seams in a few spots. The "waterproof" stain-protection cover doesn't even cover the entire top surface of the mattress, let alone down the sides, so I still needed a full waterproof sheet underneath it.

    A replacement was ordered, but they forgot to put a new box spring on the order too. So with a 60-day-from-purchase return policy, it took almost weeks to get my original to me and 10 days to get my replacement, then my final replacement order arrived 30 days after the original purchase. I was verbally told it was a 90-day return policy, erroneously as it happens, but I was able to argue at 70+ days that it should be 60 days from the final delivery date. Because I had no way of knowing that at less than 60 days with my real, final mattress, I would have poking and pinching and a sagging mattress.

    We ended up going to IKEA, but all the non-spring mattresses sunk down so I could feel the individual slats, and weren't much better about the shaking when my partner kicks than the spring ones. We ended up with a pocket-spring-coil with totally separate memory foam topper. Basically the same style that didn't work from the department store, at almost half the price. But it's a different construction and has a 90-day guarantee, so if it doesn't work then we will probably end up trying a no-springs mattress from IKEA with the better set of slats (we already had cheap slats from when we had a futon mattress, so we decided to wait to get the expensive slats until later).

    Bonus: Because the dept store mattress required a full box spring in order to not void the manufacturer's warranty, I had to JUMP with my gimpy body onto that bed. With the IKEA mattress, since we can use their slats, I can actually get into and out of bed much more easily!

Here is a description of Alumina Manufacturing process and why a VSEP would be needed. Aluminum in Bauxite is dissolved chemically, using caustic soda (NaOH in water), in an Alumina refinery. This produces liquor of soluble Aluminum Oxide in caustic water.  The dissolved Aluminum Oxide and caustic are recovered and the Aluminum is further processed to pure Aluminum Ingots. Red mud is the reject or waste from this process. The slurry is sent to settling ponds where it is aged. Some caustic water can be decanted and leach lines below collect seepage of caustic water. This caustic water is reused in the processing of the raw ore.

compareSub-micron sized particles will take a long time to settle. Silt that is about 10 microns will take 33 minutes to settle. Colloids that are 0.1 microns will take 230 hours. Sub-micron colloidal solids will be problematic if settling is the treatment method. Polymers may help but won’t get it all and would contaminate the caustic water if it were to be reused. I don’t have knowledge about flocculation of Red Mud, if that’s what you’re working on. I do have experience with filtration of Red Mud.

Membranes configured for high solids, (VSEP, Filter Presses, Tubular Membranes), can reject colloidal iron, titanium, and clay and be sized for any flow rate. Typical operating costs are about $15/metric ton of dry solid produced. The justification of membranes is that caustic recovery is enhanced which reduces the ongoing cost of purchasing new caustic for the mining process. The cost of operating membranes for caustic recovery should be less than the cost of buying caustic. Bauxite mines are in remote places and shipping caustic can be quite expensive.

This VSEP process will also greatly Reduce Environmental Impact of the Alumina factory.

Chrysler recalls nearly 500,000 Jeeps worldwide

The New York Times

Chrysler is recalling about 469,000 Jeeps worldwide, including about 295,000 in the United States, because the transmission could shift by itself from park into neutral, according to a report posted on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The affected models are the Jeep Commanders for the 2006 to 2010 model years and Grand Cherokees from the 2005 to 2010 model years.

There have been 26 accidents and two injuries apparently related to the defect, a Chrysler spokesman, Eric Mayne, wrote in an email. Mayne said he was not aware of the severity of the injuries but they were not fatal.

Chrysler told the safety agency that a software problem could instruct the transmission to shift into neutral when the vehicle is being started.

The automaker learned of the issue almost 16 months ago, when the owner of a Grand Cherokee with the remote-start feature complained that the vehicle shifted into neutral.

Chrysler said that last December, it finished developing new software it hoped would correct the problem. In March, it completed testing the fix but it wasn’t until this month that the automaker concluded a recall was necessary.

Mayne said he could not explain why the recall did not occur until this month.

Chrysler described the recall as voluntary, but once a manufacturer is aware of a safety problem it must tell the safety agency of its plan for the recall within five business days or face a civil fine.

Also Saturday, the NHTSA said it was investigating complaints that problems with steering-gear boxes are causing a loss of control in some Ford trucks.

The probe covers about 340,000 F250 and F350 Super Duty Trucks from the 2008 model year.

The agency says it has gotten five complaints from owners that an internal failure of the steering-gear box made them unable to steer the trucks. No deaths or injuries have been reported. But one driver said a loss of control led to a crash. Investigators will check whether there is a defect in the steering box and decide if a recall is needed.

Material from The Associated Press is included in this report

Art in Theology Class?

I've reflected before on the importance of art and beauty in the Church. With my seniors at Ritter, as we dive into the topic of "vocations" this semester, I have spent some time looking at art and what the Church says about its importance in our daily lives. I challenged the seniors to realize that they are all called to be artists in whatever forms of expression that God has blessed them with. I also then encourage them, over time, to produce art for class. The first piece of art they produce has to be a poem of some kind. While some of the kids certainly do their poems during homeroom, I also received some FANTASTIC work this year. One of them was so good that I wanted to share it on here. It comes from Emily Wesling, who gave me permission to put it on here. I feel like I've read a decent amount of poetry, and this is one of the best poems I've ever read!

"Elegy to Optimisim" by Emily Wesling

So call me naive - a lighthearted fool,
Dead and cold is the Age of Innocence,
Hence in a sense only senses are jew'l,
O when did love's execution commence?

Were it in songs of sensual pleasure?
In pornography's ocular thieving?
Women transform to chests without treasure,
When cynics gain the pow'r of deceiving.

Have worth, I tell you - Hold close your ideals,
Be not a fruit of ephemeral flame,
Transcend despite death and wrong on your heels,
Graze upon hope 'til you earn a new name.

They call you Naive, but that - is your pow'r,
Over lemons sucked dry - alone - and sour.

If you ever wonder if there are young people waiting to charge out of the gates and do good in the world, hopefully this poem answers your question.

May we all continue to try to see the poetry in our lives and seek to express the beauty and pain that we encounter daily in ways that bring hope and joy and beauty to others!

Presto Pasta Nights #99

A very special thanks to Erin, The Skinny Gourmet for last week's over the top dedication to hosting. Six weeks before he was scheduled to arrive, Liam arrived last Thursday. Fortunately for us, Erin had started compiling her roundup as the entries came in. She actually put the finishing touches on it while sitting in the hospital waiting for contractions! To all of you who contributed recipes...thanks for sharing them with the rest of us and making Presto Pasta Nights as special as they always are. But enough mush...on to this week's fantastic entries, counting 4 very different lasagnas and 3 recipes with artichokes, plus...well, check it out for yourself.

The Food Hunter tried to submit these tasty choices last week, but Erin's baby beat her to the punch, so she's first up with two choices for us. Which would you make first? Black Olives with Mushrooms

or Spinach, Mushrooms & Roasted Peppers...dilemma, dilemma.

Singing Horse is a first timer here at PPN - Welcome and I do hope it's the first of many visits. Just check out her wonderful Seitan Curry Pasta. It looks amazing.

Joanne of Eats Well With Others made a Rachel Ray Spinach, Artichoke Ravioli Lasagna for those of us who can never get enough pastas in one dish.

Glenna at Fridge Full of Food shared one of my favorite dishes - Roasted Vegetables (with pasta of course)

Kevin my very favorite Closet Cook made an absolutely heavenly Salmon Noodle Soup. What a great combo of flavors and colors.

Sara, the Cupcake Muffin extraordinaire, came up with Campanelle with Vodka Sauce that looks wonderful.

Kitchenetta of Got No Milk always has a tasty treat for us and this Bean & Pasta Soup is perfect for the chilly weather.

Sara of I'm a Food Blog made a great Turkey Meatball recipe I know I'll be adding to my collection.

Colleen from Foodie Tots shared this glorious Carrot Risotto, which technically isn't pasta...but rather a rice dish. That said, it was too good NOT to add here.

Pam of Sidewalk Shoes came up with a fantastic recipe for all that pureed squash in her freezer - Baked Shells with Winter Squash - gorgeous!

Wiffy of NoobCook shares a great step-by-step Beef Lasagna for all of us. One of my favorite comfort foods - and the star of my first dinner party way back when.

Katie of Thyme for Cooking always makes me laugh, and then she makes me hungry. She also shares some lasagna, but this one is quite different to any I've had...Tuna Lasagna, but I'm definitely going to test it out on the family.

My good friend Sara of I Like to Cook shares a fancy Mac 'n Cheese with Tomatoes & Chorizo ...and a fondness for good old Kraft KD! But check out her fancy bowls - I love them and her step-by-step directions for the fancy version.

Liz at Sauced is a first time PPNer. She writes hysterical posts, takes beautiful photos that will have you drooling AND makes awesome this (Crabless) Artichoke & Sundried Tomato Linguine.

Ben at What's Cooking,like many of us, sometimes is at a loss for a quick pasta dish...then he found this Spaghetti with Brown Butter and shares it with all of us. Thank you and thanks to Peter for the original recipe.

Marye of Baking Delights is another wonderful regular and this week she also makes lasagna, and this one is another show stopper...Artichoke Pesto Lasagna. Check out the gorgeous photos.

And own creation...Five Cheese Whole Wheat Tortellini with Spinach, Mushrooms and (the star) sun dried olives.

Next week marks a milestone for Presto Pasta Nights....100 roundups!!!

Not only do I hope you all plan on sharing your special (or favorite, or easiest, or last minute ) pasta with us, I hope you'll get all your friends to do the same. And for those of you who don't have a worries - email me your recipe and I'll post them on Once Upon a Feast and add them to the roundup next Friday. Send links or recipes to ruth(at)4everykitchen (dot)com by Thursday and check back for the roundup next Friday.

Rosa's Yummy Yums said...

A gorgeous roundup! Great work!

kitchenetta said...

Delicious roundup, Ruth! Next one's the biggie - always glad to be a part of the fun here.

mikky said...

Safety and Injury Prevention

Bicycle Helmets

The Helmet Program, in coordination with the Onondaga County Bicycle Safety Coalition provides low cost bike helmets to the community. The helmet law in Onondaga County requires all youth up to the age of 18 to wear an approved helmet when on bicycles, in-line skates, scooters or skateboards. Helmets can be purchased for $6.00 and $10.00 depending on income and family size. Helmet sale locations are available throughout the county. Call Onondaga County Traffic Safety Program, Onondaga County Sheriff's Office/Community Relations at (315) 431-3007 for more information.

Car Seats/Booster Seats

New York State law requires that all children be restrained in child safety seats or booster seats up to age eight. The Car Seat Program offers federally approved infant-to-toddler convertible seats at low cost. FREE safety seat checks by a certified child passenger safety technician are available at locations throughout Onondaga County. Effective January 1, 2012, this program is being administered by Catholic Charities in Syracuse. For a fitting station location near you, please call Onondaga County Traffic Safety Program, Onondaga County Sheriff's Office/Community Relations at (315) 431-3007.

Used Needles

Used Needle Disposal

Teach children to NEVER touch a needle and to tell an adult if they find one.

Throw needles away safely:

  • Use tongs or gloves to pick up the needle. Put it into a puncture-proof container with a lid (like an empty laundry soap bottle).
  • Put a label on the container thatsays, “SHARPS”.
  • Wash your hands after you are done throwing the needle away.
  • Place the container next to your trash can on the day of your trash pick-up (if you live in the City of Syracuse).

For more information about throwing needles away safely, contact:

ACR Health at (800) 475-2430, ACRHealth.org
REACH CNY, Inc., 315-424-0009, ext. 112 or email: esap@reachcny.org

Poisoning Prevention

Is your home poisoning your child?
Children and pregnant women living in older homes with chipping, flaking, and peeling paint are at the greatest risk for lead poisoning. The Onondaga County Lead Poisoning Control Program works to protect children from lead poisoning by:

  • Inspecting rental properties and homes built before 1978
  • Providing blood lead screening tests
  • Following up with families whose children need testing, and
  • Providing case management for children with lead poisoning.

Click here for more information.

Miniature "button" batteries can present a risk of childhood poisoning
These tiny batteries (used in watches, calculators, cameras, and hearing aids) usually pass through the person without any problem. However, miniature batteries may cause poisoning if swallowed and they can cause internal burns if they become lodged in the esophagus or intestinal tract. If a miniature battery is swallowed, you should contact your Poison Control Center, your physician, or the National Button Battery Ingestion hotline at (202) 625-3333 (collect calls accepted). In order to prevent ingestion of miniature batteries, consumers should keep the batteries out of children's reach and throw away old batteries, securely wrapped, after they have been removed from the appliance.

Bath Salts
“Bath salts” are “designer drugs” most commonly known as MDPV, mephedrone, or methylone. They are powerful drugs of abuse that may cause severe side effects. They may also be called “plant food” or “research chemicals”. These are not the products that are commonly sold for bathing from bath and beauty retailers.

Prep Player of the Week: Titans' Hall makes up for lost time on court

When North Oconee’s Greg Hall signed a letter of intent last Wednesday to play college football at Appalachian State, it was just one of a host of noteworthy events in a week he’ll never forget.

On Jan. 28, Hall scored a career-best 20 points as the Titans defeated area rival Oconee County 58-53, and three days later, he again went for a career high, scoring 32 points in North Oconee’s 84-81 double-overtime loss at Hart County. On Friday, he was the only Titan to be honored on senior night and scored 12 points in a 45-41 victory over Oglethorpe County in his final home game.

“It was a pretty good week,” the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Hall said.

In a basketball season that got off to a late start due to the football team’s successes and had an unscheduled 11-game break due to a broken thumb, Hall has proven to be the glue that has held the Titans (11-12, 5-5 in Region 8-AA South) together, on and off the floor.

“Greg makes an enormous difference for us,” said North Oconee coach Hal Wilson, whose team closes out the regular season at 7:30 p.m. today at Elbert County and at 8:30 p.m. Friday at East Jackson. “What has impressed me the most about Greg is his leadership. It’s been phenomenal. … He’s been just important to us off the court as on the court, and on the court he’s been impressive on both ends of the floor.”

Hall, who suffered the broken thumb in his first game back from football, said he was unhappy to be on the bench but found his time off the court to be a blessing in disguise.

“It hurt to have to sit and watch, especially the games we lost because I felt like I could have helped,” said Hall, who was out from Dec. 28 until Jan. 24. “It turned out to be a good experience. It exposed our weaknesses and it helped me realize that when I’m not out there they don’t communicate as much as they do when I am out there.”

Averaging 14 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots per game, Hall — who recorded 63 tackles and 18.5 quarterback sacks during the football season — shoots 65 percent from the field and Wilson said there are times when he’s unstoppable in the low post.

“He’s so strong he can post up on just about anybody, but he’s athletic enough he can jump about as high as anybody,” Wilson said. “He can give other teams match-up problems and he’s also a good mid-range shooter. He’s making free throws. He’s been doing it all really, but it’s his inside presence people need to look out for.”

Evidence of Hall’s ability was on display at Hart County, where he was 11 of 13 from the field with nine rebounds and five blocks. Unfortunately for North Oconee, Hart County’s Darren Craft also had a career night, scoring 44 points.

“It was a big game for us and it was probably the best basketball game I’ve been associated with at any level,” Wilson said. “It was a phenomenal game because both teams played at a really high level. … They had no answer for Greg. Our whole game plan was to get it inside to him and when we got it inside, they couldn’t stop him.”

“I just capitalized on what I was given because we fed it inside a lot,” Hall said. “I could try to knock down a shot, or if I was double-teamed I’d just kick it out. Every time we got ahead, it seemed like Hart County had a response to it. They kept hitting big shots to tie it back up. Towards the end, I guess it just took the wind out of us, wondering how many times they could come back.”

While his signing with Appalachian State was a memorable moment, perhaps more significance was attached to Senior Night, when Hall was escorted on to the court by his mother, Kir Enoch.

“It was a special moment for me,” said Hall, who sat out his junior season to focus on football. “During the week, everybody was calling it ‘Greg Night’ because I was the only senior. A lot of my football teammates and other friends in the school were there wearing t-shirts with my face on them and signs with my name on them. There were chants and everything.

“I felt the whole team was looking up to me and wanted to play harder for me. It was very emotional, walking out with my mom and her crying. And there were two girls on the basketball team who are seniors, Karlee Edwards and Jordan Binkley, and I’ve known them since middle school, so it was great we were all recognized together.”

Bruce Cottingham: Broun's mail and calls abuse the public trust

Posted: Monday, April 28, 2008

Like other writers, my household has received many letters and phone calls from Congressman Paul Broun. I've been able to block two numbers from which the telephone town halls are dialed, but there are other numbers. I e-mailed the congressman's office and sent him regular letters, yet the calls and mailings continued.

The rationale for the franking privilege was for representatives of limited means to respond to questions from constituents. I feel this has been made a vehicle of partisan politics. The mailings are being used, in my opinion, as a means of obtaining re-election. I believe this is an abuse of the public purse and the franking privilege.

I will vote for any candidate who represents my views on the issues and doesn't abuse my trust or the public trust. Abuse starts in small amounts and grows from there, I believe. It doesn't matter whether I agree with his positions or not, what matters is abuse of power, and I believe Broun has failed us in that regard.

Use of antibiotics in uncomplicated diverticulitis

The value of antibiotics in the treatment of acute uncomplicated left-sided diverticulitis is not well established. The aim of this review was to assess whether or not antibiotics contribute to the (uneventful) recovery from acute uncomplicated left-sided diverticulitis, and which types of antibiotic and route of administration are most effective.

Medline, the Cochrane Library and Embase databases were searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective or retrospective cohort studies addressing conservative treatment of mild uncomplicated left-sided diverticulitis and use of antibiotics were included.

No randomized or prospective studies were found on the topic of effect on outcome. One retrospective cohort study was retrieved that compared a group treated with antibiotics with observation alone. This study showed no difference in success rate between groups. Only one RCT of moderate quality compared intravenous and oral administration of antibiotics, and found no differences. One other RCT of very poor quality compared two different kinds of intravenous antibiotic and also found no difference. A small retrospective cohort study comparing antibiotics with and without anaerobe coverage showed no difference in group outcomes.

Evidence on the use of antibiotics in mild or uncomplicated diverticulitis is sparse and of low quality. There is no evidence mandating the routine use of antibiotics in uncomplicated diverticulitis, although several guidelines recommend this. Copyright © 2011 British Journal of Surgery Society Ltd.
