Improved Liturgical Resources Page Launched
The editors of Antiochian.org recently launched a newly improved Liturgical Resources section, accessed on the menu bar of the website's home page. One of the site's most popular destinations, the Resources page now features categories such as "Articles," "Music Resources," and "Podcasts and Audio." An aggregation of the most critical liturgical tools required by chanters, choir directors, deacons and priests, the page is also helpful to laypeople involved in Bible study groups or choir. Browsers can download music, an Akathist, even the Antiochian Archdiocese's well-loved "Little Red Prayer Book."
Recently, Antiochian.org spoke with the Very Rev. Fr. David Barr, respected Antiochian liturgist and Director of the St. Romanos Chanter's Training Program, about the importance of liturgy and music in the life of the Church.
1. Generally speaking, do parish musicians usually need formal training to chant in church? Why/why not? What would you recommend for that musically inclined parishioner who might be interested in chant, but shy?
To chant properly using Byzantine chant, one needs some formal training. Even though a great deal of Byzantine music exists today in western notation, it is important to understand the ethos. The tones work differently than Western Music. The approach is different--and one must realize that Byzantine chant is not based on specific notes (A440, etc.), but rather on relative scales, sung in the comfort range of the chanter. A chanter needs to understand and know the Byzantine scales and the the parts of the scale used in a particular tone.
2. Describe the St. Romanos Chanting Course.
The St. Romanos Chanters Training Program (www.saintromanos.com) is a self directed course in chanting Byzantine music as sung in Antiochian parishes in English using western notation. Through the use of CD's, music, and workbooks, the student learns the structure and basic elements of Byzantine chant.
3. What were some of the topics at the recent chanting conference at Antiochian Village, that seemed to spark the greatest interest?
Students are fascinated to learn that the roots of Byzantine music go back to the 4th Century and that the ancient Church, both western and eastern, used a tonal (or modal) form of music in 8 tones. Although both have changed throughout the centuries, Byzantine and Gregorian chant come from a common root of liturgical church music. In many ways, the tradition in church music is very similar to iconography. Church music is structured, even stylized, within the tonal system. Not all music is appropriate for worship--just as not every type of art is appropriate for churches. The structure offered by the Byzantine tones offers both expression and limitations to music--and aids in setting a proper ethos for worship.
4. For those with Western musical "ears," what does Byzantine chant have to offer?
Byzantine chant might not be the familiar tunes used so often in popular society, but it offers a style of music for worship that has stood the test of time. It is other than what we hear in the world--we could even say that the chant is "not of this world." Byzantine chant does not have to sound "foreign" to be proper or good. There are various expressions of Byzantine chant (Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian, Romanian, Antiochian, etc.). Each is Byzantine, and yet each is distinct. Again, this is somewhat like iconography. As we develop in chanting in America, it is likely that the Church's chants will take on some of our culture--while also transforming our culture into something greater. This will take time--and will be organic, not contrived.
5. What do you see as the greatest need for the Church, liturgically, today in America?
We need to increase the amount of training we offer to chanters in our parishes. Chanting is an integral part of our worship--and we need to give it the attention it deserves. We need our seminaries to train church musicians in Byzantine Chant in much the same way we train clergy. This training exists in the "old countries" but has not developed very far in the new world. Weekend workshops are good, but not adequate for where we need to be going. At the same time, it is encouraging to see a growing interest in Byzantine chant in the Church.
6. Do you have any tips or advice for musicians experienced in western music and choral singing when approaching Byzantine chant? What are the common pitfalls, what musical habits might need to be broken?
There are a couple of things I might suggest. In Byzantine chant, we typically keep a steady beat. Don't slow down and speed up in a hymn. At the same time, we typically don't get louder and softer in different musical passages. We should not be dramatic. We are offering the words with music that they might be heard and received. The emphasis is not on the dynamics of the music, but rather on the words. Much of western choral music is dramatic, aimed at getting an emotional response. This should not be the approach to Byzantine chant. The chant tradition is one of simplicity and dispassion.

Romney's Foreign Policy Gambit
Unrest in the Middle East gives Romney an opening to ding Obama.
Heading into the crucial presidential debates, Mitt Romney is accusing President Barack Obama of projecting a weak image abroad and casting the commander in chief as the keeper of a Middle East policy that favors fiends over friends.
Give Romney some credit: While it may appear to be a desperate attempt to reboot his floundering campaign yet again, when he picks a fight, he doesn't shy away from attacking Obama's strength -- his foreign policy.
But give Obama some credit, too: Romney's decision to challenge the president's foreign policy signals the GOP nominee is waving the white flag on the one issue that should have been a slam dunk for the former Massachusetts governor -- the economy.
With 8.3% unemployment nationwide and last quarter's GDP revised downward to 1.3%, well below where most economists had forecast it to be, international affairs has been Obama's safe haven, at least until now. Renewed consumer confidence is generating a boost in Obama's economic benchmark poll numbers, dulling the impact of Romney's attacks in that arena.
Among the charges Romney is hurling at Obama, at the urging of his neoconservative national security advisers, are claims that the president has been too lenient on Iran, too short with Israel and too tolerant of China. Team Obama is rolling its eyes, but it's also rolling the tape. The Chicago-based campaign has at least one trump card to play: highlighting headlines from Romney's gaffe-filled trip abroad this summer that left European and Middle Eastern leaders wondering whether the Republican presidential hopeful is ready to assume a role on the international stage.
"There are extraordinary events going on in the Middle East, and considering those events, either one of them or all of them collectively, as bumps in the road shows a person who has a very different perspective about world affairs than the perspective I have," Romney told NBC.
The debates present his best chance to draw blood, face-to-face with Obama. The second of three presidential debates will include foreign policy questions. The final showdown on October 22 in Boca Raton, Fla., will be dedicated exclusively to global issues.
It's a difficult roll of the dice for Romney to go after the president who gave the order to take out Osama bin Laden. But trailing in so many must-win swing states, he has no choice but to take the gamble. It's pretty much now or never, and at least Romney has a reason to hope that he can gain the traction that has so far eluded his campaign. For the first time since before the successful mission to take out bin Laden, voters are casting some doubt about Obama's leadership abroad.
The American people consistently have given Obama the thumbs-up on his handling of foreign affairs. But the president's foreign-policy approval rating took a five-point decline to 49% in an NBC-Wall Street Journal poll taken since turbulent anti-American protests swept across Middle Eastern capitals, including the devastating slaying of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya.
Of course, the opportunity to exploit a perceived weak spot offers no guarantee of success. Romney bungled his chance to chime in with any real authority by commenting before all the facts were known about the deadly disaster at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Romney attacked before he knew who was dead and how the dastardly deed was done. He was deemed a politically petty opportunist in the mainstream media, yet had he waited, he could have weighed in with some heft and could have scored his much-needed political points with dignity. For days after the protests, Romney's handling of the events became the story.
Going forward, Romney must strike forcefully, and effectively, if he is going to convince Americans that foreign affairs are as important as the economy. That won't be easy, of course, since economic issues still rank high with American voters.
But so far, Romney hasn't offered a bold, new global initiative that Americans can grasp and that would let him slow Obama's momentum. His stance is mostly criticism of Obama's policies, rather than a legitimate alternative. Events beyond their control, like the monthly unemployment and quarterly productivity reports, give Romney the opening to swipe at the vulnerable Obama. It's not quite a shameless schadenfreude strategy, but it's close.

I just moved to South Pasadena, CA from San Francisco. Anyone have a recommendation of where I should shop for a tennis racket in SoCal or even in SF?
I'm just a casual recreational player. I've only played with Babolat or Wilson oversized graphite rackets and I've been happy with them. I'm looking to get a nice one that's on sale for approx <$75.
Otherwise, I was thinking of just shopping at Sports Authority. But I don't like how you can't demo or how they don't have workers that play tennis there.
Thanks in advance!

Hey mark,
how much would shipping be? i'm thinking about maybe getting one as a gift for a friend in SF
I really don't know, hoping to have folks pick up in Riverside. Let me know about the shipping charges and I will see if I can do that for you.
Hi Doreen,
check out this place called Racquets Rackets http://www.yelp.com/biz/racquets-rackets-arcadia they are in arcadia they are great with helping you choose a good racket and their demo program is one of the best they let you demo 2 rackets at a time for the price of one, and to top it off they are professional stringers they actually travel on tour with the pros and string their rackets, the owner just recently strung over at Indian wells stringing Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's rackets. He has pictures and videos of his travels and experience over the years of stringing for the pros, whats great about it is that the second you walk into their shop they have a glass case of ACTUAL pro rackets that were given to them and signed by the pros as well that they have collected over the years.
wow!!! thanks byron, this sounds like a great store.
Unfortunately, I bought a racket last week. But I do like window shopping, so I'll keep them in mind!

Orlando Bloom is about to have another angel in his life.
The British "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" star and his wife, Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr, are expecting their first child.
"Yes, I am pregnant. Four months along," Kerr, 27, tell the Spanish edition of Vogue for its September, according to People mag.
U.S. & World
It's not surprising that the long-time Hollywood couple kept their baby news a secret.
After announcing their engagement in June, news of the couple's underground nuptials a month later only emerged when Kerr penned a statement explaining she'd canceled a modeling gig to "celebrate an intimate ceremony and honeymoon."
Despite rumors that she'd become pregnant, the Australian supermodel said she made appearances to keep up her work routine, even when she was suffering morning sickness.
"I remember on one occasion in the early days [of my pregnancy] when it was still too soon to say anything, and I had a dreadful time at one job," she told Vogue.
But in a recent interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Kerr was on the record as saying she thought "having children and pregnancy is a part of life."
"I've always been open about wanting to be a mother one day, and I've always thought Orlando would be a great dad," she said, according to Usmagazine.com. "I look at how models like Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio have done it and made it a part of their lives."

I am using gimp with a large text image. Unfortunately there is no way to change the color of the individual words.
So I changed the text color to a neutral grey (#7f7f7f) and added layers above the text and colored the words with the related colors. The layer mode is set to "color", so I get something like an color addition. Every color works fine except for white.
How do I fill a letter with white?

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Florida – A local high school's trip to the beach turned tragic when a 17-year-old student drowned in New Smyrna Beach.
After a two and a half hour search, the body of J.J. Branchador was pulled from the ocean.
Branchador was swimming with a large group beside Bethune Beach Park when he and five other teenagers went a little too far, according to Volusia County Beach Patrol officers.
"A wave knocked them over, and they got in overhead water, sounds like a rip current pulled them out to sea, and they started struggling in the surf," said Cpt. David Vanis.
Officers say five teenagers were rescued and that two were taken to the hospital.
Branchador, a student at Walker Memorial Academy in Avon Park, was on the field trip with students from Forest Lake Academy in Apopka.
In a statement released to the press, administrators at Forest Lake Academy said the the safety and well fare of its students is the school's top priority and that they are shocked and saddened by the drowning.
"We want to thank all of those who have been involved in the search and rescue operation," the statement said. "Our hearts and prayers go out to the parents of JJ, the students of these institutions, and our extended church family. We are working with the authorities at this time and will keep you updated as we know more."

the others are the highest rated maps, and i think i put in a set number.
the infinity maps were removed because i realized everyone has memorized them and some of them have cheap areas with invincibles or purples or crazy stuff like that.

This year I went to my in-laws house for Xmas.
My boyfriend's mum lives in England in my home town - 400+ miles South of Glasgow.
My parents live in Wales - 300+ miles SW, having moved from our home town a year and a half ago.
Last year we went to see both families. It was too much travel for me.
This year I was apprehensive. I had agreed to spend Xmas at HIS mum's but wondered how I'd find it and whether I'd miss my family.
It turned out to be ok actually. It was odd not having a home in my home town, but Xmas at his wasn't so different.
We drove on Xmas morning, leaving at 6am with clear roads down.
We arrived & shared gifts around lunchtime.
The dinner (4pm) was turkey & ham with trimmings (delicious) followed by fruit pudding & cream.
By evening-time his sister was drunk so games were off but tv-watching was in order: Dr Who special, Eastenders special... Then bed.
On Boxing Day we met old friends and played games with various family/friends' offspring.
It was VERY nice catching up with people I had not seen for some time.
I would do it again.
Hope you had a great holiday. Happy New Year (when it comes)!

hey guys and girls, im pretty new at programming, only a junior in highschool and im working with objects. If someone could help me out, i would be very thankful. Here is the class that contains the constructor and the methods.
public class BankAccount { double balance; String name = ""; double deposit; double withdraw; public BankAccount(double setBalance,String setName) { balance = setBalance; name = setName; } public void deposit(double setDeposit, double newBalance) { deposit = setDeposit; balance = newBalance; newBalance = deposit + balance; } public void withdraw(double setWithdraw, double newBalance) { withdraw = setWithdraw; balance = newBalance; newBalance = balance - withdraw; } }
My second class contains this -
import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Tester extends BankAccount { public static void main(String args[]) { Tester o1 = new Tester(); Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter amount initially put in the account: "); double x = kb.nextDouble(); o1.balance = x; System.out.println(x); } }
of course there will be a lot more into the second class, but i have to find out why this second class wont compile. sorry for my poor choice of words, once again im a pretty new programmer.
The compile error is this -
Constructor BankAccount in class BankAccount cannot be applied to the given types.
(Public class Tester extends BankAccount) is what is highlighted.

Red meat & mortality & the usual bad science
This is a great explication by Zoe Harcombe of the article in Archives of Internal Medicine released March 12 reporting the teeny association between eating meat and premature death. Skip the numbers if you want. The "meat" of her summary is in the first 2 points:
"1) This study can at best suggest an observed relationship, or association. To make allegations about causation and risk is ignorant and erroneous.
2) The numbers are very small. The overall risk of dying was not even one person in a hundred over a 28 year study. If the death rate is very small, a possible slightly higher death rate in certain circumstances is still very small. It does not warrant a scare-tactic, 13% greater risk of dying headline – this is 'science' at its worst."

Costly error dooms O's against Twins
Minnesota squeaks out 6-5 win on Saturday night
Justin Morneau singled in the tiebreaking run with two outs in the ninth inning after an error by Chris Davis, and the Minnesota Twins got a home run from Chris Parmalee in a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.
Although Davis picked up his 17th RBI, he failed to become the first player in major league history to homer in the first five games of the season. The first baseman also opened the door for the Twins to snatch their first win in Baltimore since April 21, 2011.
With the score tied at 5, Baltimore turned to closer Jim Johnson (0-1) in the ninth. Davis let a one-out grounder by Aaron Hicks roll through his legs, and after a two-out walk to Josh Willingham, Morneau singled up the middle.
It was Johnson's first loss since last July 27.
Josh Roenicke (1-0) pitched three innings of one-hit relief and Glen Perkins got three straight outs for his first save.

Captain Hook Meets Adam Smith
Debunking pirate myths reveals how
hidden economic forces generate social order
From countless films and books we all know that, historically, pirates were criminally insane, traitorous thieves, torturers and terrorists. Anarchy was the rule, and the rule of law was nonexistent.
Not so, dissents George Mason University economist Peter T. Leeson in his myth-busting book, The Invisible Hook (Princeton University Press, 2009), which shows how the unseen hand of economic exchange produces social cohesion even among pirates. Piratical mythology can't be true, in fact, because no community of people could possibly be successful at anything for any length of time if their society were utterly anarchistic. Thus, Leeson says, pirate life was "orderly and honest" and had to be to meet buccaneers' economic goal of turning a profit. (continue reading…)

Highlited Editorial
Dear Reader, one of the most important responsibilities of a scientist is to disseminate knowledge and experience, be it theoretical, preclinical or clinical, as quick as possible to the community so that science can excel. One way to achieve this goal is to publish the research findings and observations, and share the important knowledge. Certainly, in the academic environment, such activities are also considered as a category of metrics for promotion that should primarily be considered as an indication of recognition and appreciation of contribution of that individual...

The charming Cedric Gracia is here to show us a couple products with the unmistakable Cedric flair. The first is and 800 lumen light for $160. This is patterned after the Mega Drive which we reviewed HERE.
The second product is a rear shock pump in digital and floor pump configuration. Crazy you say? Certainly unusual but we bet shop owners and team mechanics will love it.
Descriptions from the Manufacturer:
Deca Drive LED
The Deca Drive LED is a new performance LED Light System equally suited for road or mountain bike use. The light utilizes 3 High-efficiency LEDs to produce a max output of 800 lumens. A new MOR Lens focuses the 3 LEDs to produce a smooth and wide Uniform Power Beam ideal for both near and far visibility. The body and end cap are made of CNC-Machined aluminum. The body features an integrated visor to shield the rider's eyes during out of the saddle pedaling, and fins to dissipate heat keeping the LEDs cool and increasing efficiency. The 2-piece body design combined with the durable latch closure provided the rider with Infinite Light – the ability to replace the proprietary 2-cell lithium ion rechargeable battery back on the road or trail on-demand. The LIR battery can be recharged via an included Micro USB cable. The light is cable of High-Efficiency (HE) Charging – the ability to charge the battery at 2Amps. This reduces charging time by up to 50%. The Deca Drive LIR battery can achieve 100% charge in 8-10hrs via a standard USB port, or 4-5hrs when used with a HE (2Amp) Charger. Quality molded rubber button and seals combined with our durable draw latch closure system make this LED Light extremely water resistant (up to 1m). The translucent power button has been upgraded with a new RGB Intelligent Power Indicator, allowing for more accurate battery status readings. The Deca Drive body is treated with a durable BED coating and will be available in two colors: Black and White. The light is mounted to the handlebar using our tool-lees 31.8mm or 25.4mm hard mounts. The mount allows for 15 degrees of lateral movement allowing the rider to point the light exactly where it is needed.

Shock Digital Drive
The Shock Digital Drive is a new uber high-pressure floor pump designed for adjusting the air pressure in suspension shocks and forks. The purpose of designing this dedicated shock specific floor pump is to make shock tuning faster and easier for riders, shops, and demo bike crews. The pump features a narrowed barrel and piston that is 1/3 the diameter of a standard floor pump. This allows the user to achieve the 300psi/20.7bar maximum pressure with ease. The pump features the new heat-treated steel Shock Thread-Chuck designed specifically for inflating shocks which is connected to the pump with a high-pressure nylon reinforce braided hose. The rest of the pump is made of a CNC-machined aluminum barrel and base, steel piston, and wood handle.
The pressure is displayed on the new Digital Gauge, which features an easy to read 1.6in LCD display. The digital gauge is extremely accurate (+/- 3%) and auto adjusts for variations in temperature and altitude. The gauge runs off of 1 CR2032 battery positioned below the LCD display and can be replaced quickly and easily by the user. It also features an auto shut-off which turns off the display after 5 minutes. One battery should provide over a year of use. Lezyne chose to go with a digital gauge on this shock specific pump for increased accuracy, ease of use, and durability.
To ensure users attain accurate pressure settings without any air lose during inflation, we developed a new Shock Thread-Chuck that features our new Adjustable Valve Control (AVC) design. The AVC design is a two-piece Chuck construction that threads into itself to engage and disengage the shock schrader valve pin without the risk of air loss upon removal of the pump. Therefore, riders will no longer have to over inflate their shocks and forks. The Shock Thread-Chuck also features a two-stage Air Bleed button that allows for macro and micro tuning of air pressure. The Shock Thread-Chuck combined with the Digital Gauge and quality Lezyne pump construction results in a dedicated shock floor pump that provides faster and more accurate suspension tuning.

Minn. head-shop owner pleads not guilty to charges
Authorities say synthetic drugs misbranded as products
DULUTH, Minn. — The owner of a Duluth head-shop and three workers have pleaded not guilty to federal charges of selling synthetic drugs that authorities say were misbranded and marketed as incense, potpourri or bath salts.
Last Place on Earth owner Jim Carlson and his employees entered their pleas Friday in U.S. District Court in Duluth.
A federal indictment unsealed this week charges Carlson, of Superior, Wis., and his employees with conspiracy to violate federal regulatory laws and conspiracy to distribute controlled analogue drugs. Also charged are Lava Haugen of Superior and Joseph Gellerman and Jamie Anderson, both of Duluth.
Prosecutors claim the synthetic drugs are illegal. Carlson claims the products he sells are legal.
A jury trial for Carlson and his employees is scheduled March 11.

ArchiveGrid is a collection of over two million archival material descriptions, including MARC records from WorldCat and finding aids harvested from the web. It's supported by OCLC Research as the basis for our experimentation and testing in text mining, data analysis, and discovery system applications and interfaces. Archival collections held by thousands of libraries, museums, historical societies, and archives are represented in ArchiveGrid.I checked this collection, did a search and found a reference to a document from an ancestral family member within a few seconds. The item turned out to be a photocopy 22 page typed manuscript in the Utah State Historical Society from Nathan Tanner, one of my Great-great-grandfather's brothers.
ArchiveGrid provides access to detailed archival collection descriptions, making information available about historical documents, personal papers, family histories, and other archival materials. It also provides contact information for the institutions where the collections are kept.
I really appreciate any of my readers who call my attention to new websites. This is a great help in trying to keep up with the huge amount of data on the Web.

Educational animal displays, snake and animal catcher and management.
Call Melbourne, Victoria, Australia: (03) 9812 3322 to book!
Hold the animals are experts at wildlife shows, kids animal displays, education with reptiles and other animals, wildlife capture and relocation and everything else that comes with these general lines of business.
For educational wildlife displays and education, our main specialty is kids wildlife themed birthday parties, educational school incursions with snakes and other interactive forms of educational display.
We bring both highly venomous and non-venomous species of reptile and other animal to venues and have surgically devenomized deadly snakes, better known as venomoids to protect the safety of our clients and ourselves.
The snakes benefit from this non-venomous state by the fact that there is no longer a need to brutally handle them with sticks and tongs and we are instead able to treat the snakes with the care and respect they deserve.
In fact what separates our shows from all others is that we are kind to our animals and handle them gently!
You wont see the cruel mistreatment of animals in our wildlife displays that you often see on Cable TV shows.
When not doing educational shows, we catch and relocate all forms of animals by all available means and also do others forms of pest control work, for government, business and private individuals.
We are based in the Australian State of Victoria within the constraints of relevant laws and permits, such as the Wildlife Demonstrators permit, zoo permits, controllers permits and when travelling elsewhere use equivalent permits as needed under relevant state or National Laws.
We also have public liability insurance cover, relevant Childrens and police checks and cards as well as an unrivalled perfect safety record spanning more than 34 years in the wildlife education and pest control businesses.
Our venomous snake handling courses are on the official lists of all State Wildlife Departments in Australia, meaning that one of our certificates is instantly recognized and allows course graduates to obtain catching permits without having to show additional evidence of handling expertise to the relevant state authority, saving our graduates time and money.
If it is not Hold the animals (as in us), then it is probably a risk!
Hold the animals for educational reptile shows and animal control, enquiries or bookings, please phone us: Melbourne, Australia: 0412-777-211

On hot, humid days with no breeze, anyone may be affected by heat. Heat waves are particularly dangerous for children, seniors, people with cardiovascular disease, those working in hot places and athletes. They may suffer heat stroke, heat exhaustion, or heat cramps.
A heat wave's duration plays an important role in how people are affected. Studies show that a significant rise in heat related illnesses occurs when excessive heat lasts for more than two days. Spending even two hours per day in air-conditioned spaces can significantly reduce the number of heat related illnesses.
You can search for cooling sites by zip code on the United Way's website. At times when the Cooling Sites are not available, but the weather is still hot, use the resources below to help you or a neighbor beat the heat!
Heat Stroke (also known as sunstroke) is a life-threatening condition in which a person's temperature control system stops working and the body is unable to cool itself.
Signs and Symptoms: Hot, red skin which may be dry or moist; changes in consciousness; vomiting; and high body temperature.
First Aid: Heat stroke is life-threatening. Call 9-1-1 immediately.
Move the person to a cooler place. Quickly cool the person's body by giving care as you would for heat exhaustion. If needed, continue rapid cooling by applying ice or cold packs wrapped in a cloth to the wrists, ankles, groin, neck and armpits.
Heat Exhaustion typically involves the loss of body fluids through heavy sweating during strenuous exercise or physical labor in high heat and humidity.
Sign and Symptoms: include cool, moist, pale or flushed skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea; dizziness;weakness; and exhaustion.
First Aid: Move the person to a cooler place. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths or towels to the skin. Fan the person. If the person is conscious, give small amounts of cool water to drink. Make sure the person drinks slowly. Watch for changes in condition. If the person refuses water, vomits or begins to lose consciousness, call 9-1-1.
Heat Cramps are muscular pains and spasms that usually occur in the legs or abdomen caused by exposure to high heat and humidity and loss of fluids and electrolytes. Heat cramps are often an early sign that the body is having trouble with the heat.
First Aid: As with other heat emergencies, get the victim to a cool place. If the victim has no other injuries and can tolerate water, give one half glassful every 15 minutes for an hour.

Bears goal line stand against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4 — The Chicago Bears were leading the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20, Eagles had first and goal from the Bears 4, 5:40 left in the game. Eagles run RB Cornell Buckhalter off right tackle for 3 yards. Second and goal was a handoff to FB Tony Hunt for no gain. Third down was back to Buckhalter to the right for no gain. Eagles call a time out and decide to go for it on 4th down. Buckhalter again off left tackle, this time, stood up by RE Alex Brown of the Bears for no gain. Game over. Bears win.
Cubs RHP Carlos Zambrano throws no-hitter against the Houston Astros on Sept. 14th — The Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros waited two long days to find out where they would be playing their key late season series against each other. Houston was being devestated by Hurricane Ike and MLB moved the Astros to "neutral" Miller Park in Milwaukee to face the Cubs. Zambrano brought his "A" game with him to "Wrigley North", shutting down the powerful Astros lineup, striking out CF Darrin Erstad swinging for the last out of the first Cubs no-hitter in 36 years.
Cubs win back to back NL Central Division titles — The Cubs began the 2008 season with one of it's goals to win the 2008 NL Central Division title, as well as seeking their first World Series appearance since 1945 and first World Championship since 1908. Alas, the Cubs could only slay one 100 year drought, as they won an NL-best 97 games en route to the 2008 NL Central Division title for their first back to back division titles since 1908. A quick sweep in the NL Divisional Series by the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers dimmed what was to that point, a most magical season for the North Siders.
White Sox win 3 elimination games in a row to win the AL Central title — The Chicago White Sox looked dead in the water, losing 4 of their final 5 games to the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians, coughing up a 2.5 game division lead and falling 1/2 game behind the Twins with one game to play. The final game of the Cleveland series and the regular season was a must win game with Mark Buehrle on the bump, the Sox beat the Indians to force the Monday afternoon post-season makeup game against the Detroit Tigers. The Sox win the makeup game against the Tigers, forcing a one game playoff game against the Twins for the AL Division title, this time, in Chicago. The Sox, behind a masterpiece by LHP John Danks, beat the Twins 1-0 and claim the AL Central Division title, winning three elimination games in a row.
Chicago Bulls win the 1st pick in the NBA Draft and the right to select PG Derrick Rose — Chicago Bulls GM John Paxson had to work wonders to undo all the bad karma and decision-making by Bulls brass in the post-Michael Jordan/Phil Jackson era, but by sheer luck, one of those bouncing ping-pong ball went red, and the Bulls, with a x% chance, landed the #1 pick in the 2008 NBA draft. Around the same time, a young freshman PG from Chicago was leading his one-loss Memphis Tigers team to the 2008 National Championship game against the Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks win the title, the young freshman forgoes his eligibility and declares eligible for the NBA Draft and the prodigal son returns a hero.
The City of Chicago becomes a finalist for host city for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games — Chicago survived the US bid process to emerge as the US entry for host of the 2016 Olympics. Election Night provided the world a glimpse of what Chicago 2016 could be as Grant Park served as the world's stage for President-Elect Barack Obama's election night speech. Chicago is President Obama's hometown and can be in prime position to be named 2016 host, but it can't rest on that momentum as concerns about finances, transportation infrastructure, and sports facilities still shroud Chicago's Olympic bid chances.
The arrival of a young and resurgent Chicago Blackhawks hockey team, who finished the 2007-08 season very strong and opened the 2008-09 season even stronger — the Chicago Blackhawks under owner Bill Wirtz became the city's red headed stepchild of Chicago professional sports. Even the minor league AHL hockey team, the Chicago Wolves, were outdrawing the Hawks in attendance. Things couldn't have been any lower, and then, Bill Wirtz died. Bill's son Rocky took the team over and his first move as team owner was to steal marketing genius John McDonough away from the Cubs, hiring McDonough as his new team president. A change in coaches (Joel Quenneville in, Denis Savard out), a #1, and #3 draft pick later, youngsters C Jonathan Toews and RW Patrick Kane lead a marketing and on-ice resurgence of the Chicago Blackhawks. High point to date, a team best 9 game winning streak leading into the 2009 Winter Classic against the Detroit Red Wings. The game resulted in a loss for the Blackhawks in the standings, but was a HUGE win for the Hawks in prestige and heritage. A vintage Original Six team is reborn.
Bears hammer Indianapolis Colts on national TV in the season opener, marking the coming out party for Bears RB Matt Forte and ruining the home opening of the Colts new Lucas Oil Stadium — The Chicago Bears were playing on national television. They were also playing the mighty Indianapolis Colts on the road in the Colts brand spanking new stadium. The Bears have traditionally been nothing short of horrible in nationally televised night games and this was Sunday Night Football on NBC. And QB Peyton Manning, coming off a knee injury, was planning on starting this game. The Bears were doomed, but fate forgot to mention that to this Bears team, lead by a resurgent defense and the nimble running of rookie RB Matt Forte, the only Bear to eclipse 100 yards rushing in his first ever game (123 yards), the Bears down the mighty Colts 29-13.
The University of Illinois football team plays in it's first Rose Bowl since 1984 — In 2001, the University of Illinois football program was reaching it's pinnacle capped by a Big Ten Conference Championship and an appearance in the 2002 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Two short years later, the Illini hit rock bottom, going 1-11, eventually firing coach Ron Turner and hiring master recruiter Ron Zook as his replacement. In year 3 of the rebuilding process, the Illini found themselves with a 9-4 record, stunning #1 Ohio State on the road in a 28-21 victory that propelled the team to it's first Rose Bowl in 24 years.
Chicago Wolves win the 2008 Calder Cup Championship, bringing a hockey title back to Chicago — The Chicago Wolves AHL hockey team beats the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 5-2 bringing the Calder Cup back to Chicago. It is the 4th title for the Wolves in their 14-year history. Soon after, Wolves Coach John Anderson is promoted to coach the parent team, the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers. The Wolves dip into a famous Chicago hockey family, tapping Don Granato as their new head coach.

Murder suspect in CustodyBy STAFF REPORTS,
- 19521 reads
An Indianola man wanted in connection with a Wednesday evening shooting that resulted in the death of one man and the hospitalization of another is now in police custody.
Shortly after noon on Monday, Chief Edrick Hall said Stephon Snipes 20, 200 Maybelle Street, turned himself in to law enforcement officers.
Snipes had been named as a person of interest following the fatal attack that took place on or in the vicinity of Brantley Circle last week. However, Hall said an arrest warrant charging Snipes with first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon has now been issued.
According to Indianola police, the shooting incident took place June 12 around 8 p.m., when a man, who was reportedly standing in the street, allegedly fired into a vehicle hitting two of the occupants. The initial information provided by police said D'Angelo Davis and a yet unnamed person were injured when the gunfire erupted.
Davis and the second victim were then taken to South Sunflower County Hospital where Davis was later pronounced dead. The other victim was transferred to a Jackson area hospital with a gunshot wound to his back, but his current condition is not known at this time.
Hall said then the shooting was possibly in retaliation for another shooting incident that happened prior, but no further details were given.
Police are still asking for anyone with information regarding the assault to please contact them.

There have been very few things in my journey that I've recommended to ditch immediately after researching. I normally say save the cleaners, personal care products, processed food, etc. because you'll always be in a pinch and can take the opportunity to use them up. The one product I would say dispose of right away are traditional tampons. A few days ago, I turned into a sleuth at a local store and snapped a photo of the materials listed on the back of a tampon box. Why? I really thought the materials listed would have changed since I first researched tampons 4 years ago. When I first wrote this article, I was horrified to find out polyester was an ingredient in tampons. I was just starting to remove materials like polyester from being close to my family because one daughter has eczema and natural fibers were less irritating for her skin. The other part of researching polyester was finding out that flame retardant properties are naturally occurring in this material. So if this is true, I still have to ask tampon manufacturers where polyester is used in the make-up of a tampon and why this petroleum based plastic is doing in a menstrual product? Researching the exact materials and chemical components of tampons is difficult because this information is kept proprietary. Unlike personal care products, makeup, etc. tampons adhere to a different criteria of labeling because they are a medical device. Kind of the same thing as sex toys labelled as gag gifts so you don't need to discover that plastic dildos are made from PVC – the most toxic form of plastic on the market. It's beyond disgusting and because these products are used in such an intimate part of the body that is highly porous, absorbent and toxins thrive in tissue.
With spending so much of my life thinking about genetically modified food and how to avoid it, I had another really scary thought about traditional tampons. How do we know if they are made from genetically modified cotton – otherwise known as BT cotton? This form of cotton is grown from GM seed and grows resistance to antibiotics. It adds a whole new layer to the cotton industry and for woman that use non-organic tampons. Even conventional cotton is grown using heavy pesticides and we know toxins released into our body from pesticides like to live in fat cells.
The only positive difference I can find 4 years later with tampons is the industry changed their bleaching standards for the rayon (wood pulp) that is mixed with cotton for absorbancy. But the fact is trace amounts of dioxin can still exist from whitening and the heavy processing that occurs to make wood pulp a soft and fluffy form of rayon. So here we have the 3 active materials used in a tampon: polyester, cotton, and rayon. Nothing but pesticides, petroleum, chemicals, and possibly trace amounts of dioxin or flame retardants. We give our teenagers these products to use because they are straight forward, inexpensive, disposable, and easy for them to manage. We need to think about teenage girls and their long term health. Could tampon use over a 20 year period contribute to infertility problems, inflammatory disease and Endometriosis?
Since writing that first article about tampons four years ago, I really only made one permanent change to my routine. No tampons. If I have to go swimming in the summer with the kids, I buy organic cotton tampons. I always meant to try a Mooncup or Diva Cup but I'm not a huge fan of silicone. For the most part I use reusable pads (Lunapads) and disposable pads for heavy days.
I encourage you to tell 3 people that might still be using traditional tampons. I think teenagers and young adults are the highest users. Use the graphic below to think about the three main ingredients of traditional tampons and their level of toxicity. Make the switch, tell 3 friends, make an impact.

In fact, as we have been informed, the third man in the photo is just as important and accomplished as the other two, just not as instantly recognizable. The "man of mystery" is a mystery no longer: he is Julio Martinez, former commissioner of the New York State Division of Substance Abuse Services (DSAS), which is the forerunner of the NYS Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS).
One reader was even able to tell us what event was taking place when the photo was taken. It was a launch for a new drug prevention initiative. The phrase "You've Got What It Takes" was put on book covers and handed out to school kids.
As a former employee of OASAS told us, Martinez is widely regarded as a pioneer in the field of drug rehabilitation beginning in the 1970s, particularly programs geared toward the Latino population. Eventually, his leadership would lead to the expansion and availability of similar programs throughout New York State.
Martinez knew what he was talking about. Born in Puerto Rico in 1944, he moved with his family to the Bronx when he was just two years old. By his early teens, Martinez was already struggling with drug addiction, and had been convicted of several drug-related crimes. It wasn't until late 1966 at Beth Israel Medical Center that he finally achieved sobriety for good.
In 1967, it was announced that people in the treatment program Martinez was in would be moved to Hart Island. Martinez and several of his fellow patients felt that this would be like moving into the prisons they had hoped to leave behind, and felt they would be better off in the community and not ostracized from it.
So they pooled their welfare checks together and got an apartment on West 85th Street in a drug-addled community, despite the high risk of a relapse. Thus, the Phoenix House was born.
This therapeutic community-type program for treating addiction caught the attention of high-ranking government officials. Martinez would go on to work for the city's Addiction Services Agency, and in in 1979 he was appointed the commissioner of DSAS.
Allegations surfaced of improper allocation of state funding, which led to an investigation, but a report absolved Martinez of any criminal activity. However, disillusioned by the charges, Martinez resigned in 1989.
He would continue to work in the arena of drug treatment until his untimely death from cancer in 1955.
So there you have it, mystery solved. Expect us here at Pol Position to return to our juvenile observations on the world of New York City politics next week.

theBollywoodFan on the BBC Asian Network
Q: Which Aamir Khan film did you enjoy most?
A: Listen to it into the Saturday edition of the show, about an hour and 9 minutes into the complete show available at this link (click on 'Saturday' under 'Latest Shows' in the sidebar to the right), or 9 minutes into the podcast at this link. The links will only contain the 6/28/2008 edition of the show through 7/5/2008.
Here is a post (from June 2007) on why I think Love Bollywood on the BBC Asian Network does well to fill a void. Check out their shows to get caught up on a lot of Bollywood news and reviews.
Have a good start to the week, everyone! And let's hope this week flies by, for some of us have waited too long for July 4. There I go again with my peak of inflated expectations :)

I'm so glad you posted this! I am an avid listener of "Love Bollywood" and I was thinking of you as I listened to the interview with Imran. Raj and Pablo are fantastic and we share scarily similar taste in films. ;P
I'm getting excited for the film, although I think that my local theatre will be showing "Love Story 2050" instead of "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na."

Hi Filmi Girl: Thank you for stopping by. And thanks for the thought! :)
Shall be sure to remember the similarities in your movie preferences. Might come in handy some day ;)
That would be so not fair if they showed one and not the other. They are both going to do well (I truly hope)!

Interesting interview. By the way, what was your reaction when they read your question? I would've been stunned to say the least! Raj and Pablo really shouldn't have inflated Imran's ego with so much praise about his looks (that's the last thing a budding actor needs - focus on the talent first) and that "delicious" comment just came off as creepy.
I've been listening to the Love Bollywood podcast since October and the show is quite entertaining. However sometimes I have to question Raj and Pablo's qualifications to critique films and soundtracks. They really praised Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic while other reviews I've read have been tepid at best. And if I remember correctly they didn't even rate Jodhaa-Akbar as high as TPTM. But I guess their reviews reflect more of the common man's approach to cinema.
Hated how they (with henchman Komal Nahata) totally trashed Saawariya (which became a running joke on the show) and during the same program went on to shower Farah Khan with praise. One thing I remember Raj/Pablo (months later I still can't tell them apart) saying was that if you don't like Om Shanti Om, then you can't claim to like Bollywood. A little presumptuous of them I thought. OSO is just one film, and it really was dumb of them to think that it was the epitome of Bollywood. But I guess it is their job as radio hosts to be so opinionated, otherwise the show wouldn't be as interesting.
Also find their Scottish accents to be annoying at times, but it's hilarious to hear them speak in Hindi. One thing I like about their interviews is how they know how to ask the right questions and make their guests feel comfortable. Really enjoyed their recent interviews with Kajol and Juhi Chawla. Also liked how they didn't hold back during Sonal Chauhan's interview when asking about Emran Hashmi.
I'm not sure if you noticed this or not, but it annoys me so much how Raj/Pablo just can't seem to say Pakeezah correctly, which I believe happens to be one of their favorite films. They always pronounce it, "Puh-key-zaah". I was just waiting for Mashoor Amrohi to correct them on the air last month, but alas it didn't happen. Would have been funny, don't you think?

Hi Salek: I was just excited they asked him the question! Given my respect for Aamir bhai, I was glad to hear his nephew commenting on his films. Part of me was hoping Imran would say Lagaan [of course ;)], but I don't blame him for picking Rang De Basanti and QSQT, both youth-oriented films, which is the theme for Jaane Tu as well.
Raj and Pablo are a fun bunch. They are entertaining, and of course we don't agree with them on all counts. That Om Shanti Om example was a good one. And your point about them making the movie stars comfortable on the show is very true. They are always cheerful and friendly, and that is what makes for fun listing.
That Pakeezah pronunciation correction would have been funny. Still, they do their jobs sincerely (Who wouldn't, they get to have so much, in their words, 'Bollytastic' fun!) and do fill a void, which is great. I really liked it when they went to the two shows a weekend format.

Adab aur shabash on another brush with Abbas. How exciting to hear, "From Abbas in L.A." Once again you guys communicate, Abbas to Abbas. It's only a matter of time that you will be working directly with him, which is when I start emailing you directly, asking to be able to come over and sit on the various movie sets where you will be working. "I'm here to see Abbasji, no the other Abbasji, yes I'm his agent." Like salek, I noticed the fawning at the beginning of the interview, well actually in ran through the interview. I just figured the interviewers may be gay. I just saw "Bomarillu" a Telugu film starring Genelia D'Souza, which gets me ready to see Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na this weekend.
All the best,

Hi Sita-ji: Thank you! Yes, that bit with Imran and the word 'delicious' coming from a guy was a little funny. I reckon they were trying to market him even more to the gals.
And yes, you might just find me on one of them sets ;) Of course, that's very very unlikely to happen, unless (as a well known director once suggested) I create my portfolio and start out as a junior artist somewhere. Or be a lyricist with a flair for dialog delivery, which is where I would finally get the better of Saif! =)
How did you like Bomarillu? You are much better prepared than I am to watch Jaane Tu! Please do share your thoughts over the weekend!
Chavanni Chaap: That's an interesting approach to blogging you've got there. I like how your poll results are shaping up :) Link ke liye dhanyawaad!
- Tuesday, July 01, 2008
I may do a little post on Bommarillu in the next few days. I loved it. It was like KKHH, DDLJ, and Cinderella with a bit of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam all rolled into one. (It's OK, it's still a guy's movie too.) Genelia is ADORABLE and fantastic in her role. She reminds me of Tanuja-Kajol with a twist of Rani and Hema at theri cutest. It is coming out in a Hindi version with her as the lead too and Nana Patekar as the dad.
Here's a nice write up I found in case you haven't seen the movie:
All the best,

Sita-ji: I'll hope that you do post on Bommarillu. Thanks for sharing the link with the review. Have only heard good things about it, but haven't seen it. The Hindi remake sounds like fun.
I have only seen Genelia in Masti, but I remember so little of the film (didn't think much of it), to me it's like she's making her Bollywood debut as well :) She's looking and behaving excellent in all the Jaane Tu promos!

The national champion women's basketball team from Texas A&M University is getting the red-carpet treatment in Washington this week.
The Aggie squad and its coaching staff has been invited to the White House on Thursday "to celebrate their 2011 NCAA championship," the White House said in a statement announcing the afternoon event.
President Obama, a huge college basketball fan, will be on hand for the festivities. White House officials say he plans to
"recognize the efforts by Texas A&M University women's basketball team to give back to their community."
To underscore that commitment, the team is planning to hold a basketball clinic on the White House b'ball court for students from the national capital area.

hey nice job,
on my ae86 I wind the tacho off the dial, now that's not so easy to fix!
Hi People thought I would share this,
So I remember a while back I think it was on the Rollaclub forums a thread about making your own custom dash. I thought since I'm putting a 4AGE into my KE70 and that the 4AGE hits redline later I'd change my dash. So one day I decided to make my own so I pulled apart a tacho dash and scanned it directly to photoshop then started having a play around with the dash.
Since I have a TE71 now with an awesome black dash in it I'd thought I'd upload my work so people could take a look. I was going to get that seller on ebay that does custom dials to print them out for me.
I changed the text of the dash to something a bit more modern but still kinda oldschool, shifted the orange line to start at 7k instead of 6k and created a redline at 7.5k, added TRD symbols, Red E for empty fuel, red line in hot instead of the original orange and got the idea off my BF XR8 of putting Red lines every 10km's after the highest legal speed 110km/h. If you look too I put a small white arrow pointing right near the fuel pump picture so people that don't know the car know what side of the car the fuel filler is.
Anyways here is a pic of my work. If anyone wants I can email them the high res version of this, high res version of the originals and all the individual dials so you can photoshop them yourself.
hey nice job,
on my ae86 I wind the tacho off the dial, now that's not so easy to fix!

without the trd bits??
Awesome! You could get these printed on clear vinyl and just lay them over the originals.
I thought that too but then you'd see the old dash through the lettering since the white parts would remain clear. The best bet would be to get a clear vinyl printed then cut some thin white or clear perspex say .6mm to the shape of the original dash pieces and then stick the vinyl to that.
To save the hassle I was just gonna send the image to these guys and get them to make them properly. They're $80 for a normal white set so wouldn't expect more than $50 extra to have something done custom. The image I have in its full resolution is an exact scan off the originals so will be exact when printed to gauges. These guys do KE70/AE71 dashs aswell so would be able to do it easy!
I'd love to get a copy of the hires files if anyone has them still?

Post subject: Cooking for kids, and adults. Any ideas?
Kids in general are picky eaters. My kids particularly are not, but between the 2 kids and of course us parents, I've found it difficult to find common ground. With kids, its not only the taste that matters, first it has to look good. Then it has to taste good. Plus, it has to have a texture that pleases them. Probably the same for all people. I love peaches but the fuzz sends shivers down my spine for some reason so I eat nectarines instead, for example.
So, my question is; any can't miss ideas on cooking for a whole family? I regret eating out so much now mostly because its hard to get my kids to try different foods. Everything I've made, they said they liked, but getting them to taste it at first is a battle not easily won. That they don't recognize it in their little heads equates to somethings wrong with it.

I have 2 boys, 6 & 11. My first gut reaction is to cook for yourself, but leave out the chile peppers. This will be your common ground. It's worked for a handful of friends and co-workers. One of which was the executive chef at Chez Panisse for many years. A co-worker's son loves oysters right out of the shell. This method does work.
However, my downfall was leaving the boys with family. One of which fed them canned soup, Top Ramen and frozen pizza. And that my friend, was that. Since that day it's been a hell ride getting anything new down their throats. It's all about hamburgers, pork chops, mashed taters, kraft macky cheese, steamed broc and sometimes green beans. My secret weapon is butter and salt. Even that failed on steamed carrots though (I added honey too!).
Do the best you can, show them through example and be patient. It's only in the last year or so that the older one has been willing to try new things. His newest favorite is the marinated Mexican flank steak with bell peppers and onions in tortillas. The little one is content with buttered toast for dinner, no kidding. He's fine with that. Sigh.

Post subject: Let Them Eat Cake
My girls are 2 and 6, and are generally good eaters. But, unless I serve pizza every day, it's unlikely that every meal will fulfill the whimsical fancy of each tyke.
So, my tendencies lie in Dr. Biggles camp: I generally cook for the adults, without the chiles (they can be served as a supplement at the table). However, I do tailor our normal meals over the course of a week to make sure that each kid will have adequate opportunity to see some of their favorite vegetables or fruits. One likes steamed broccoli and frozen peas, and the other raw carrots and sweet peppers. And I will frequently include starches that both girls enjoy such as jasmine rice, pasta, or grilled bread. That way I'm sure they stuff some nutrients down their gullets and still fill their bellies sufficiently to keep them out of the snack pantry.
I don't think it's as important at a young age to hit all the vital food groups with each meal. I tend to look at their diets more on a daily basis (sometimes even a weekly basis) than an hourly one. And most importantly, I constantly place healthy meals on the table and pleasantly encourage them to be eaten. It doesn't always work out, and Cheerio's and peanut butter sandwiches end up on the table while my wife tries to choke down shredded brussel sprouts both kids refuse to eat (they were sauteed with bacon, she should have loved them). But at some point, probably when I'm too old to realize it, I am convinced the foundation for healthy eating will cement itself in place, and they too will try, if not enjoy, the brussel sprout.
Sometimes they are more willing to try new stuff that they have helped to cook. I don't let them near heat or sharp objects, but they love to measure (even if it's pre-measured), pour things in bowls, stir, and knead. And holy cow, if a button needs to be pressed on a blender, food processor, or microwave, fist-a-cuffs are possible. It adds a secondary interest level to meals that sometimes over rides their disgust for new adventures.
No success for me here, but some folks have success in recreating meals their kids enjoyed in a restaurant.
ps: I'm also with you on the peach fuzz. Wooden tongue depressers too.

I'm not a parent by a long shot, I would love to be one however but I digress
My nephew is a picky eater, an absolute pain in the ****, For his mother
But for me he will try anything with the understanding that if he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to eat it. He scoffs everything down even eating more then me on many occasions.
I have found the same with all kids who come into this house. Try it, ya don't like it, you don't have to eat it, I can count on one hand how many things have been rejected.

Post subject: Feeding Kids: The good, the bad, and the ridiculous
I agree with Pickles.
Another important thing to remember is that children are more sensitive to flavors than adults; if you look back in your own lives you'll probably find that today you enjoy foods that as a child made your stomach turn.
A classic that many children will eat is good old canned or frozen mixed vegetables. Try slicing carrots and other vegetables before cooking in order to make them look less overwhelming on the plate. Stews and soups often go down well; Yankee pot roast without horse radish or with reduced horse radish is one dish many children like.
Experiment, and take the advice of experts with a grain of salt. One of the classics of school food service is to cut oranges into wedges because of the assumption that children will throw the oranges if given the whole fruit. Naturally, no one has actually tested whether or not the use of oranges as a weapon of mass destruction is actually a significant problem since this assumption is very well established and unquestioned. Meanwhile, many schools routinely serve whole apples without fear of their illicit conversion to weaponry. Obviously, the old rule of not comparing apples with oranges is taken very literally in food service circles.
The end result is that children don't eat the orange wedges in the school lunch since children are repulsed by the dried surfaces and are squeamish about foods heavily handled by people they don't know well. I've often thought that school districts could save money on labor by simply pouring the tax dollars spent on oranges directly into the garbage.
I've seen parents take an entire gaggle of seven year olds to an expensive and elaborate restaurant for a birthday party and then be outraged when the children don't eat their food and express dislike. Considering how cautious children are about new foods; it seems only reasonable that expensive new foods in a new location are probably not going to be any more popular with the kids than inexpensive new foods are back at the house.
So experiment, and try whatever you think will work. Ask the kids why they don't like something; they can often be very expressive and if you listen instead of arguing you'll likely find some tips in the discussion.

Worth repeating. On this topic, there is no such thing as an expert.
