First, there’s the AP story showing deep and extensive ties between offshore oil and gas companies and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Enforcement and Regulation. That’s the renamed Minerals Management Service, the agency that was supposed to prevent things like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill last summer. Everyone dreams of a “real regulator” that will clean up industry, protect public values, and smartly manage economic activity. What you routinely end up with is a pro-industry self-dealing ag...

The last time I checked, that auction had received dozens of bids and was up to $1000. There were still 2-1/2 days left in the auction, so I suspect the final price would have gone much higher.I checked my email and saw that I’d received an automated message from eBay about it.

Brenda’s son is diabetic and for five years she has worked tirelessly to raise money for a cure. She’s done an amazing job! Each year she has an online auction with proceeds going to diabetes research. The auction offers a host of things such as vacation packages, books, online classes… really, just about everything you could imagine. There is something for everyone. This year, she raised a whopping $270,611! In five years of fundraising, she has raised $762,298. That figure just amazes me. Never underestimate what you can do!

She’s a very successful author and diabetes advocate, who each year raises thousands of dollars for diabetes research. In just a few short years she has managed to raise a half a million dollars! She’s truly an inspiration. Novak’s son is diabetic, and she has created an online auction that is easy to maneuver and use. I’ve poked around this site myself, and she has some fabulous prizes. She even has a few “one of a kind” experiences. There is truly something for everyone. The auction ends at the end of this month, so I encourage everyone so log on and find something fabulous for themselves! You’ll get something fabulous for yourself and help to find a cure for diabetes in the process. Image: Brenda Novak Share a...

It was hard enough getting it then. I can’t imagine getting it as a child. The shots, food restrictions, and constant monitoring is a difficult thing for children and their families. That’s why research and funding is needed until there is a cure. To that end, I have another great interview in the Putting a Face on Diabetes series. I’m always amazed at people that get involved. It doesn’t matter how they are involved, to me doing something is so much better than feeling helpless or complaining. To that end, I came across an online diabetes fundraiser a few years ago that was put on by Brenda Novak, an author whose son has diabetes. I was so impressed by her efforts (and wait until ...

Bids can be sent via a variety of methods and updates will be posted on Twitter–see Ramona’s page for more details.  The starting bid is $200, and while that’s out of my poor student price range, I am hoping there’s a reader or two out there for whom that might not be, or at least can forward this to others in a position to help. Remember it’s for charity, and as a recipient of Ramona’s work, I can assure you first-hand that the craftsmanship is outstanding. Thanks!

My daughter browsed the site tonight.  We saw some really fabulous quilt art displayed.  Also, the quiltmakers included a short write-up about the quilt and the person (usually someone with Alzheimer’s) who inspired it.  These are very touching and bring back memories of my mom who loved quilts and encouraged me in my quiltmaking.
