St. Michael’s Lutheran Church, 6671 Germantown Ave., is holding a community-wide flea market, book drive and fun day to benefit the Emlen School on Saturday, July 12 from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. The rain date is Saturday, July 19.

In addition to the flea market, there will be a barbecue, activities for children, singing, praise dance, and knitting lessons.

St. Michael's is looking for people to rent tables ($10 donation), donate elementary age books (new or used and in good condition), and/or provide bookstore gift certificates or tax deductible cash donations for the school.

This is the second community event and fund raiser that St. Michael’s has organized to benefit Emlen. St. Michael's is concerned about inequities in the education system and decided to partner with its local public elementary school to support its success. St. Michael's hopes to provide mentors for students in the fall. St. Michael's sees the flea market as a way to raise community awareness and show give support to one of our local public schools.

I don't know which was worse -- having to hold my foot still for more than half an hour, or wearing headphones that piped an adult contemporary radio station into my ears during that more-than-half-an-hour.

The setting was your basic MRI imaging room, and the story was...well...the story started the day after Mother's Day when I was trying on a pair of shoes my thoughtful husband had given me the day before. One shoe hurt and the other didn't. Couldn't figure out why until I looked down and saw I had a big ole lump on the top of my left foot's big toe, between the joints.

Being the mature (read doctor-avoiding) adult I am, I didn't do anything for another day-and-a-half. Eventually though, some form of common sense prevailed, and I ended up in a podiatrist's office.

It's interesting to be a woman of a certain age and still be able to claim a "first." And this was the first time I'd ever been in a podiatrist's office. I rather enjoyed the small quiet waiting room - just me and the seniors (waiting to get removed whatever it is that seniors get filed off their feet.)

And it was a distinct pleasure to be have an examination that didn't contain the word "stirrups."

The podiatrist sent me off to a nearby facility for an x-ray (because silly insurance wouldn't allow me to take advantage of the machine in the doctor's office) and less than an hour later I was back with my films.

Which showed some sort of bone abnormality. Which meant she wanted me to get an MRI.

Now...here's where the internet comes in. You know the drill. You do a Google search and keep reading every link until you find out that your symptoms mean you have an extremely rare, but ultimately fatal, condition. (Or is that just my game?)

Google didn't let me down, and it didn't take long to find at least 5 bone-cancerous-type things that can affect the big toe. Who knew? Well, the doctor did, I guess. Because in the office when this financially-cautious patient (me) was quizzing her on the need for an MRI, the doctor more or less admitted that the reason for the MRI was to rule out the scary reasons my toe bone looked abnormal.

That's why today found me lying on a table for more than half-an-hour with most of my body in a white tube of magnetic resonance and with the aforementioned Adult Contemporary B101 serenading/torturing me. The tech had asked me what station I wanted to listen to (I requested WXPN) but supposedly she couldn't get that tuned in. Oh well, I think 'XPN is fund-raising this week anyway...although listening to David Dye's membership pitch would have been infinitely better than Rod Stewart's "Downtown Train" (which I still can't get outta my head. Aaaaargh!)

Not the least bit of apprehension on my part regarding the MRI procedure (because the internet also told me my head wouldn't be in the tube.) In fact, I approached the whole thing with a lot of curiosity (and any hour away from the kids is kinda like a mini-vacation.)

What I didn't count on: the harder I tried to keep my foot still, the more it would twitch involuntarily.

Perhaps the tech thought she was being helpful when she announced the time of each series of strange magnetic thumps and beeps -- "This one is four minutes" she would say...and all I could think of is "Must stay perfectly still for FOUR minutes...try and focus on Meatloaf's hypnotic voice...oh no, did I just move my toe when I started to relax?...yikes, that magnetism is kinda tickling my feet(toes twitch)...just one more chorus of Two Outta Three Ain't Bad, and I'll have a 2-second break between sessions to wiggle my toes (calf twitches)..." And so on.

The MRI tube had this little digital timer at the end where I could see the minutes and seconds of each series counting down -- although there was also a laser eye right next to the timer that warned not to stare directly into it (the laser.) Although it didn't seem to be on, I wondered if maybe it was some sort of secret MRI laser that was invisible or something.

See what Adult Contemporary music does to my brain?

It was all a medley of stale music, involuntary muscle movements, and stolen timer glances. With a shot of contrast medium towards the end for good measure.

My idea of a fun afternoon.

I found this question pretty interesting, as I've an Atlas necklace and bracelet and always wondered if the Roman numerals were of any significance. So, I visited the official site, and sent a question to the customer service. They promised me a reply in 48 hours and so I waited till I got it: "Dear [my name], Thank you for contacting us. The Atlas design was inspired by the clock above the entrance to Tiffany's New York store. We look forward to serving you again in the future." The person didn't add any extra information, so I guess there's no hidden story behind the inspiration. Although one of the reasons I bought it was that I've always found Atlas, from the mythologies I've read, pretty interesting. You see, he was against Zeus and was punished by being forced to stand on top of a high place and hold the weight of the world on his shoulders. You could say that my studies were stressing me out and I kept thinking about Atlas at that time, and when I found the collection a week later I thought of it as a sign and bought the necklace and bracelet.

I just got an anonymous tip that supposedly, a major motion picture will be filming extensively on Penn's campus this summer.

Above is a shot of several of the volunteers hard at work at a POP planting at 8/Poplar on the 19th. It was a gorgeous day and a ton of volunteers showed up from POP, Teens 4 Good and Greater Philadelphia Federation of Settlements. Young and old alike picked up wheel barrows, shovels, rakes and loads of dirt to plant a multitude of trees, berries and vines. I had my cousin in town for a last minute visit so I couldn't stick around for too long, but I was there for an hour documenting part of the process of planting a small orchard.

Learn more about the project here. You can donate, via PayPal or check, via the website as well. It's a very cool project and I was there for the initial meeting. My job at PhillyCarShare didn't allow me to do much last year, but now that I'm free of that place, I can take photos and get my hands into the dirt with the rest of the gang.

Finding and choosing a ring may be difficult because there are so many in variety and style. You want a ring for a purpose and you want to have it for keeps. So, you want to make a careful and specific choice with a substantial budget. You want to buy a ring that you will look back and smile on.

Step 1:
Consider what your budget is like because the rings from Tiffany are fine but can start from $250 to thousands of dollars.

Step 2:
Decide the kind of ring you seek. A wedding band, an engagement ring. Tiffany has various types of rings to choose from.

Step 3:
Be aware that Tiffany has different types of wedding band tiffany rings,, different types of diamond rings, diamonds in platinum of 3mm wide or 6 mm wide in sizes. There are various brands such as Etoile, Tiffany Swing ring, Tiffany 18k gold, Milgrain, Lucida, Eternal link.

Step 4:
Think of the style of tiffany rings, you want such as Braided ring, Hexagonal ring, Legacy band ring, Swing ring, Victoria band style or plane gold ring. The design you want should suit not just your budget but your mind bringing goodness and satisfaction to the heart.

Tiffany glow with the design of the exquisite dazzling or calm restrained, so that you can feel the culture of Tiffany brand, so the classification is very particular about brands, we can be grading on the main distinction between them and, according to our own demand to choose tiffany jewelry.

Grade introduced: the hierarchy generally consists TIFFANY: real goods, Genuine; A+, a level; b level; other.

Real Goods is legitimate tiffany store with the sale of the real goods TIFFANY single laboratory;

Genuine refers to the original manufacturer TIFFANY store Availability production mode, and compared the lack of real goods single laboratory report, which is mainly used to export; and real goods Comparatively speaking, the general lack of laboratory report only single, with silver in 92.5 percent above.

A+ international best-selling refers to the TIFFANY products, the price is not high, but production steps, as well as the appearance of the final product are close to authentic.Not necessarily amount of silver up to standard, for the worship of Silver friends not too high, the proposed buy this. Fact to the high volume of silver really unnecessary and people could not see. Suggest that you buy this just general .

A level: bits is a poor place, with an average volume of silver lower number, such as: Will many of the "bread silver" ornaments (this does not ring for the beautiful, But long-time will not change color), in the process of making requests not stringent enough, such as polishing, laser logo, but it is not enough stringent checks, there defective rate is relatively high, the surface may not be entirely smooth, Cheaper prices .

B level refers to some small factories or workshops own family production of the so-called TIFFANY, of course, due to various reasons, the overall quality and quantity of silver have caught up with the front, and some quality really is not bad, but the majority are very difficult to say. If you are luck ,you can and may buy a similar, but in most cases can only feel a loss:)

Genuine: It is now the international market is the most commodity-like tiffany goods, TIFFANY Genuine can buy only a few major cities where the franchise, if scores can buy authentic pieces are deceptive, because not a few hundred pieces of authentic .

A+ goods: This is the best imitation goods, as Tiffany processing requirements for the silver decoration very high, so do the grading here a total of only 30 companies (That we are selling is the one), even as some tiffany earrings real goods sold. With its quality is Commodities without distinction, in full accordance with tiffany shape 1:1 manufacturing, materials identical polishing beautifully TIFFANY Lettering, 925 silver signs Fine.

It can be said that modern conservatism knows only two times. There was the time before him and there was the time after him, and those two times could not be more contrasting. In this stark contrast lies his larger-than-life legacy, and let there be no mistake: It is a legacy that will endure the ages.

As word of William F. Buckley, Jr.'s passing reached his many students, admirers and colleagues late last week, it seemed each had an account (some grand, some small) of how this intellectual giant memorably impacted and touched their lives, their vision, and their work. In the aggregate, they tell the story of a man whose immense collective qualities--genius, boldness, industriousness, persuasiveness, and (perhaps least appreciated) kindness and generosity--were without equal in modern American public life. Even in death, Buckley is bringing conservatives together more effectually than many conservative leaders are doing in life. It should surprise no one. To have had the good fortune to have brushed upon Buckley during this life was to leave impressed, inspired, and reinvigorated in the purpose-driven life that he lived admirably and which he cultivated in a whole generation of conservatives who, now in his absence, carry forward his torch.

It may be said too often of the recently deceased, but it must be said emphatically of Buckley: We will not likely see his type again.

News Item:
Catholics, Muslims, ink pact

Catholic and Muslim leaders in South Jersy signed an agreement yesterday, pledging cooperation and understanding of each other. It was the second such signing in the US. The first occured in 2003 in Rochester, New York. If the effort will now migrate to other states across the nation, and what impact, if any, it will have, remains to be seen. It is an effort, however, so that's a good thing, but radical factions from either side were notably absent.

Thanks!

Packed bags in hands, Mom, Dad, and Roxy on either side of me. They smile and say, "We're taking a trip to Philly, except for when we get there, we're dropping you off." One-way flight to Philadelphia...wow! This is it.

I've always had a bug in me to live in the East Coast, and was never really sure why. Something intrigued me about this place - the weather, the people, the trendy-fashion, the fast-paced lifestyle - I don't know, I couldn't put my finger on it because I've never been until I stepped foot in the City of Philadelphia on February 18, 2006. (I've visited Lancaster, PA and New York City in 2004, but does an 11-day trip count?) I've read stories, watched the news, and kind of got an idea of what Philly was about before I moved here, but never did I imagine how I perceive it now.

Moving across the country from South San Francisco to the Port Richmond area in Philly, and working as an After School Counselor in an inner-city school changed my life instantly. I, for once, was the minority. I would look around and notice that I was the only "Asian" person. It was quite strange. I've even had people people drive by with their windows open and blurt out something like, "Ching, ching, chong" and laugh. To clear things up, I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean anything in any language AND I'm of Filipino decent. To those idiots that blurt stuff out like that, learn the difference.

Originally, I came to Philly to go to school at Temple University because I truly admired Bill Cosby and in some weird sense, I hoped to be like him. Yes, I realize that I'd never be...as funny as he, but I would try. ;) Realizing how dangerous the city really is, I decided to wait off for school and figure something else out. Luckily, I got a full-time position as a teacher in an inner-city school who will help me get my Master's in Education at St. Joseph's University.

Back home, I started to get bored with the same old pattern - Clear skies, 70 degrees, sunny - chance of rain - clear skies, 70 degrees, sunny - rain - fog. There wasn't much of difference in seasons, winter couldn't made you believe it was summer, and fall and spring were interchangable. I might be exaggerating to make a point, so don't take me too literally. The point is, I was bored and needed change. Philly provided such change - FOUR SEASONS, yay! We had three "snow storms" my first winter, and I loved the looks of it, but did not appreciate driving or walking in it. I spent 2 hours shoveling my front steps and sidewalk in West Philly (my second place in Philly), took me about half an hour to get my car out of the slush and ice that it was burried in, and I learned to drive like an East Coaster, better yet a Philadelphian. I just love it!

The fact that Philadelphians don't use (or most times, don't know) the term "jay-walking" is unusal to me! People here cross the street like their life is at risk, and for the most part...it is! Drivers will not stop for the love of them! Which is how IT SHOULD BE...none of this "Pedestrians have the right of way." Do you know how much more difficult it is to stop a 2-ton car? A lot more than a person crossing the street. It's law to stop for them, so I do, but I've seen some risky business out there. Drivers running red lights even before the lights turn green, barely stopping or not stopping at all at stop signs - it's ridiculous. Drivers speeding on, what you call, the Turn-Pikes. Back home, I've been pulled over for going 60 MPH on a 45 MPH, roll-stopping at a stop sign, and for NOT running over a possum. You heard me right, NOT running it over. I learned that it was law to hit all animals in Cali except for deer. I still second-guess it. So when I see these drivers speed up as a pedestrian steps onto the street, all I can do is scoff. I crack up even more when I see huge guys with bling, a do-rag, and baggy pants try to cross the street, not so hardcore running.

In San Francisco, people use the crosswalks like it's a protector of all harm, no car would dare hit them, and for the most part, they're right. Californian drivers will wait, even if someone hasn't set foot on the street yet...they'll just wait, and this is extremely annoying to me.

In high school, I had a friend who used the crosswalk, but didn't press the crosswalk button to cross, got hit by a car, broke his arm, and got fined for "jay-walking." Not in Philly, nope!

Sports fans here are absolutely CRAZY! I thought it was extreme back home, but I was completely off. I keep my SF-tendencies to myself just so that I won't get hurt in the mix of things. Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, and the E-A-G-L-E-S, I'll root for them, but you can't let my brothers know. I wouldn't be caught in their gear though, I promise you that, it'd be wrong of me. I love the dedication of the fans, win or lose. I've learned to stay indoors if there is a lose, people get rowdy and MEAN!

Before I end this, I have to give props to the most delicious food I've ever had, other than my grandma's cooking, of course. No wonder this place is so fatty, fat, fat. No offense, but if you're one of them, you know what I'm talking about when I say cheesesteaks, soft-pretzels, pizza, 'wooter' ice, hoagies, and the TastyKakes. This might be one of the reasons why I wouldn't go back to the west.

One fault though, that I've learned to live with - the potholes Philly just can't get enough of. Drive around them or bust.

Philly...best decision ever!
