Motorcycles have been part of the NHRA national events for a long time. As early as 1970 legendary riders like Larry Welch, Boris Murray, T.C. Christensen and others were familiar figures at the drag strip, and as much as I don't like to brag, I announced races where each one of them were in the winner's circle. I also announced Larry Welch's famous pass down the Atco quarter-mile on a rocket bike but that's another story altogether, and so is the fact that I announced the late E.J. Potter's one and only run on his jet-powered three wheeler. Hey, maybe I will write that book after all..In the very early years, the years before Larry, Boris and the rest, bikes were often the quickest things at the drag strip. Fast forward now to 2012 and, like all the other vehicles at the drag strip, the motorcycles are going quicker and faster than anyone or any manufacturer ever imagined. Did you know that when Terry Vance won Pro Stock Motorcycle at Indy in 1979 he went 9.19 at 144.69 mph and he won on a holeshot? And everyone in attendance thought those numbers were spectacular, and they were for 1979. By the way, the winner in Top Fuel Motorcycle at Indy that year, "Frog" Thacker, won with a time of 7.84 at 175 miles per hour and he, too, won on a holeshot. Today the motorcycles are knocking on the 200 mile per hour door, and these are bikes that run on gasoline. Amazing, isn't it?
In 2012 there were a few bikes and teams that were competitive, a few that could have won some races, set low elapsed time or top speed and challenged for the championship, but as we all know that didn't happen and 2012 turned into the year of the Harley-Davidson, or more correctly the year of Eddie Krawiec. Ok, to be fair, Andrew Hines wasn't exactly chopped liver if you know what I mean, but as good as his season was it paled in comparison to Eddie's, and that's stunning because by most standards Andrew had a great year. Did you know that Andrew won six races this year and there are only five
Eddie won the championship this year in dominating fashion, and even though there were other riders who gave him a challenge every now and then, it was certainly more "then" than "now." Once in a while the "Hectors" would step up and make a couple of good runs, but nobody had the consistency that Eddie did. Plus he was riding a very quick and fast bike and he probably had his best year ever as a rider, and that's a tough combination to beat, and as it turned out in 2012, it was an impossible combination to beat. The riding part can't be overlooked especially when you consider the fact that it was Andrew, not Eddie, who finished the year with the quickest run of all time. Ok, so his 6.728 was only slightly better than Eddie's 6.730 but it was quicker. Both of those runs, and three more of the top ten runs of all time, came at the lightning quick Maple Grove event and I guess we will never know how the championship would have ended up if they had finished the motorcycle portion of the event in Pennsylvania instead of postponing it until Las Vegas..When I mentioned that Eddie rode well this year I am not necessarily referring to how many times he was first off the line or how many races he won on holeshots. Remember, when you have a bike as quick as his you aren't going to win a lot of races on holeshots. I am talking about his consistency on the line, getting the bike off with a respectable reaction time, and did you know that in 2012
From a performance standpoint it certainly looked like the Harley-Davidson riders were the class of the field this year and they may have been, but there were times when it looked like they were "beatable." Eddie was the number one qualifier at just five races this year, and even though he won all of them it shows that maybe he didn't have the best bike at every race. He certainly dominated a couple of the races, qualifying number one, setting low elapsed time and top speed, but he wasn't John Force in 1996 or Greg Anderson in 2004, years in which those two absolutely dominated the entire season, he simply did his job and did it better than anyone else..One thing that may seem to indicate the power that Eddie did have was the number of times that he set top speed. Did you know that he did that a dozen times in 2012 and that was the most for him in any of his championship seasons? Still, saying that he had the best bike is over simplifying things, at least the way I see it. Hector Arana had a very good bike this year but just wasn't able to close the deal, and Hector Arana Jr. also had a good bike and yet he was shut out in 2012. It takes an entire team and a special mindset to win championships and that's what Eddie had this year, and looking ahead, will have in 2013.
Andrew Hines had a season that could have resulted in a championship, that is, if he didn't have Eddie for a teammate. Andrew won a very respectable forty-six rounds in 2012 and that's only four less than Eddie, but as I mentioned, Eddie had a winning record against all of the top ten riders and that included Andrew. Did you know that Eddie was 5 - 3 against his teammate in 2012? It's not a huge advantage but in the end those couple of rounds could have been the difference between having Eddie or Andrew as the champ..Andrew did reach a milestone in 2012 when he won his 300th round of racing. Angelle Sampey has the most round wins with 364 and Dave Schultz is next with 354, so Andrew is in very good company on that "300 round-win list" isn't he?

Former Connecticut Sec. of State Susan Bysiewicz to lead law firm
MIDDLETOWN -- Former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz has a new job.
Bysiewicz, of Middletown, on Tuesday said she will lead the Glastonbuy office of the newly founded Pastore Shofi & Dailey, a law firm with offices in Stamford and New York City. She will practice in the areas of corporate law and finance, banking, securities and contract negotiation.
"I am looking forward to going back to my roots," said Bysiewicz, who practiced corporate law at White & Case in New York City, Robinson & Cole in Hartford and at Aetna before serving as a state representative and later for 12 years as secretary of the state.
The 51-year-old Middletown native last year ran for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by former U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, now held by Democrat U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, and prior to that ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Connecticut attorney general's office. The campaign ended four days before the state's Democratic nominating convention when a State Supreme Court judge determined Bysiewicz failed to meet the requirements for the position.
Since her loss to Murphy in the August primary, Bysiewicz said she has done some relaxing and regrouping, after making sure all her campaign staff had jobs elsewhere and her supporters and volunteers received the proper thank yous.
"It was amazing," she said. "I haven't had a vacation in what seems like years. It was a good time to relax."
But now Bysiewicz is ready to join partners Joseph M. Pastore III, Leanne M. Shofi and William M. Dailey as well as attorneys Paul Dehmel, Michael Zamat, Dennis Bishop, Jennifer Shufro, Ryan McLeod, Sam Ottensoser and law clerks Katherine Leish and James Healy.
"I thought that this would be a good opportunity to practice law at a very high level," Bysiewicz said. "My colleagues at this new firm are people who are very talented and have very high standards and I thought it would be a good place to do what I like, which is helping people resolve conflicts, problems."
She is admitted to practice law in New York and Connecticut. She is a graduate of Yale College and Duke Law School. The new job comes as "a natural extension of the work that I have been doing," she said, mentioning working closely with the state's legal and business community and registering Connecticut's more than 300,000 corporations.
"We are pleased to have Susan join our growing firm," Pastore said in a statement Tuesday. "She is a talented attorney and a wonderful person."
Susan's husband, David Donaldson, runs her father's insurance business in Manchester. Their oldest daughter, Ava, is getting ready to graduate from Wesleyan University as their son, Tristan, is getting ready to graduate from Middletown High School. The couple's third child, Layna, is a sophomore at Wesleyan.
With two college tuitions to pay no matter how you look at it, "the salary will definitely come in handy," Bysiewicz said.
And while she has no immediate plans to return to public service, she said "it's certainly something that I've always liked to do," and "I think there are many different ways to be involved."
Pastore Shofi & Dailey's Hartford area office will be located at 180 Glastonbury Boulevard in Glastonbury.

Erasmo strong, but bullpen falters in eighth
Beyond Morales' 20th homer, Mariners bats fall silent in finale
SEATTLE -- Rookie pitcher Erasmo Ramirez has been the beneficiary of more run support than any other Seattle starter this season. On Sunday, he saw the other side of the coin, holding down Tampa Bay, but receiving little help from his offense as the Rays won, 4-1, to avoid the sweep in the final game of the series.
Entering Sunday's game, the 23-year-old right-hander had received 6.08 runs of support per game, allowing him to compile a 5-1 record despite a 5.07 ERA. But on Sunday, the Mariners' bullpen gave up a 1-0 lead, allowing three runs in the eighth to negate Ramirez's first scoreless appearance of 2013.
Over his last five starts Ramirez has a 2.27 ERA, lowering his season ERA from 7.06 to 4.57. However, Ramirez did issue a season-high four walks and has struggled with command this season, issuing 21 walks in 61 innings this season compared with just 12 walks in 69 innings a year ago.
"Even if I walked four and had strikeouts and everything, I threw for contact," Ramirez said. "Every time I'm going to throw the ball, I think about just throwing the ball for the hit and making contact and not letting the ball get right over home plate, but trying to hit the corners. Maybe for that reason I walked a lot of people today because I wanted to throw the ball closer to the corner."
Against Tampa Bay, the Mariners faced an impressive run of starting pitching. Seattle had to face Alex Cobb, Chris Archer, and Matt Moore. Those three Rays starters have a combined 31-13 record and Moore had the highest ERA at 3.18
Seattle was able to put up six runs in each of the first two games of the series, but Moore held the Seattle bats in check despite the Mariners putting five runners on base in the first two innings.
"He's a good pitcher, has a great arm and throws the ball downhill," manager Eric Wedge said. "Two or three plus pitches, he was tough on us today."
Seattle continued to struggle to bring baserunners home. Rookie shortstop Brad Miller led off the first and third innings with singles, but Seattle was unable to turn his hits into runs. Miller has excelled in his leadoff role, and is second among American League rookies with 53 hits since the All-Star break.
The Rays scored three of their four runs in the pivotal eighth inning. Yoervis Medina hit Evan Longoria to lead off the inning, and then walked Luke Scott. Back to back hits by James Loney and Sean Rodriguez drove in three runs, enough to give the Rays the win.
Ramirez breezed through the first six innings, but nearly lost the lead by allowing a walk and then a single to start the seventh. Charlie Furbush came in to relieve Ramirez, and promptly walked pinch-hitter Wil Myers.
"He threw the ball well. They have some really good pitching over there," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Their bullpen, they have some really good arms. [Ramirez] had that little cutter, whatever it was. And he knows how to elevate."
Furbush escaped the bases-loaded, no outs jam by throwing home to catcher Henry Blanco for the forceout on pinch-hitter Delmon Young's grounder up the middle. Blanco then fired to first, beating Young for the double play. Ben Zobrist flew out to right field to end the inning and keep Ramirez in line for the win.
The Mariners got on the scoreboard in the second inning with a solo home run from designated hitter Kendrys Morales, his 20th of the season. Morales played a crucial role in Seattle's series win against the Rays, going 4-for-8 with two homes runs and three walks so far in the homestand.
Morales credited a more open stance at the plate for much of his recent success, saying through an interpreter, "I wasn't seeing the ball as well earlier, and I really worked in the batting cage to correct that. I'm seeing the pitches a lot better."
It was the second straight start by a rookie pitcher for Seattle, following James Paxton's Major League debut on Saturday. The Mariners will make it three in a row as 21-year-old Taijuan Walker makes his final start of the season against the Astros on Monday.

I wasn't going to post this until the ink was dry, but I am reasonably sure (knock on wood) that this deal is NOT going to fall through and I'm just so excited I have let everyone know . . . . we're moving!!! :woohoo: :cheering: :yay: My DD, DS, BF and I have been making due in a 2 bedroom duplex and it has been FRUSTRATING!!! :hair: It was frustrating before my DD moved out last year, but since then my BF has moved in and now she has moved back with aaaaalllllllll her accoutrements - including a new cat! My living room looks like it has exploded!!! So we began looking for a 3 bedroom house (rental not owning). The first thing I noticed is that Wow!!! the rents have certainly come down!! When I rented my duplex we had no choice but to settle on the smaller place in a "adjacent" neighborhood which has been getting steadily worse since I've gotten here (anyone who knows the Los Angeles San Fernando Valley can attest to the downward slide it has been taking). When I looked for 3 bedroom houses last year they were $1000 to $1500 more than I am currently paying, but NOW!!! Let me tell you, the house we found is perfect. it's only $300 more than my current rent and since the addition of my BF I can certainly swing that. Its a 3 bedroom on a private road on top of a hill in a gated community with a sparkling pool. Its near a wildlife preserve so we can have the "not in the city" feeling. Its just beyond what I could ever have imagined living in. I am so excited!!! We move April 1st!!! :cheering:
We're moving!
My internet connection hiccuped and my post got posted twice. Can some kind admin please delete the other post :teehee:
Congrats! :cheering: I hope the move goes smoothly!
That's fabulous! Yay for you! :yay:

You explain to the audience that you subscribe to a mail order magic company that sends you magic lessons on CD. You received one today and brought it to show the audience how you learn your tricks. You open the shipping box and remove a CD. With any CD player, you put the disc in and start the lesson. After a short music introduction a pleasant female voice explains that this is "The Lesson of the Vanishing Bandanna." The voice tells you that you will need two props for this trick. The first is a large colored square of fabric and the second being a yellow bandanna. Upon these words you reach into the shipping box and bring out a piece of fabric and a yellow BANANA, not a yellow bandanna! The voice continues to explain that this lesson is about "Palming" and instructs you to fold up the yellow bandanna and vanish it in the square of fabric. This is done, but you are really folding and mashing up the banana...which will get a great response of laughter fom the audience. The trick ends with you vanishing the folded and mashed BANANA in the fabric square!
Easy to do.... With a great and funny routine to match.... Great for kids or adults... - Denis Coffey

Chef Dan Barber Tackles Food Waste with Delicious Fare
I don't often have guest bloggers that I don't assign a particular restaurant write for my blog, but food waste is a problem that I've always been interested in. America waste 70 billion pounds of food each year. Let that number sink in a bit. Ashley is also passionate about this issue, so I agreed to have her publish a post here to promote what she's trying to do in educating people on food waste!
This blog post originally appeared on Ending Food Waste (http://www.endingfoodwaste.
co) and is written by Ashley Gelineau (http://www.endingfoodwaste. co/your-foodprint-and-how-to- reduce-it-with-ashley), a food activist looking to educate people on food waste and its impact on the environment.
In many cultures, cooking with food remnants that we in the United States deem 'waste food' is common, and often encouraged. Home and professional chefs around the world have been creating delicious meals from whatever they have for years; this isn't anything new. That said, many of us in America simply haven't experienced the marvels of making something tasty out of scraps when it comes to food.
In a recent article by The Guardian A chef's Manifesto: Let's Tackle Food Waste with Good Fare (http://www.theguardian.com/
environment/world-on-a-plate/ 2015/oct/30/a-chefs-manifesto- lets-tackle-food-waste-with- good-fare), Dan Barber's philosophy on this exact matter is brought to light. The article states, "Waste is central to Dan Barber's cooking, and yet, he'd rather you didn't sense that when you eat it. In fact, if you're experiencing anything other than sublime thoughts when you taste his food, he'll consider it an unsuccessful dish."
Dan Barber is the executive chef at the famous Bluehill Restaurant in Manhattan, as well as Stone Barns in upstate New York. He recently released a book called The Third Plate, in which he writes about sustainable cuisine practices that explains his core belief; stop TELLING people to cut food waste and start using it to make irresistibly delicious dishes. To attain this goal, he transformed his restaurant into a pop-up called wastED. The menu contained "fried-skate-wing-cartilage" , "pock-marked potatoes" and "carrot-top marmalade."
Many Cultures Use 'Waste Food', Why Not America?
Barber claims that America is an anomaly because we're such a young country. "…When we came over here we had all these virgin soils. You'd put a seed in the ground and it became a garden of eden. We've never been forced into the kind of negotiation where we develop dishes that take full advantage of what the landscape can provide. In many other parts of the world the idea of a waste dinner wouldn't be possible, or if it were possible it would be appealing to the very elite and wealthy [because 'waste food' doesn't really exist]." It's in a chef's DNA to turn something that is ugly or uncoveted into something that is delicious and desirable for the 'eater.' Cultures around the globe have been doing this since the dawn of time; it's time for America to follow in their footsteps.
Back in September, Barber and Sam Kass (former senior advisor for nutrition policy at the White House), made headlines when they served waste food to world leaders in a meeting at the United Nations. The menu? A vegetable burger made of the pulp left over from juicing and fries created from the starchy corn that would typically go into animal feed. "It's the prototypical American meal but turned on its head. Instead of the beef, we're going to eat the corn that feeds the beef," said Barber. http://www.abc.net.au/news/

Ever have those nights when you're really hungry and wish there was a taco cart next to your house where you could buy delicious, delicious tacos to feast upon at 3 a.m.? Sure. we all do.
But one Brooklyn neighborhood doesn't get its tacos tonight because some asshat stole Rogelio Gonzalez's taco cart. Even worse than the plight of the neighbors is that of Gonzalez, who used his life savings of $28,000 to buy the truck so that he and his two eldest sons could sell traditional Mexican food in Brooklyn's Ditmas Park neighborhood.
The Gonzalez family slaved over a hot burner day and night for a largely appreciative crowd, but someone had to go and ruin it for everybody. The neighbors are pissed because they can't get tacos whenever they want. Gonzalez and his sons have reached out for help on Facebook, and community members have been blogging about the theft, but the cart hasn't been found yet.
Unbelievably, Mr. Gonzalez is taking this all in stride, telling NY1, "I don't want nobody go to jail. I want everybody OK. Please leave the cart on the street."
Whoever the taco cart banditos are (could it be the same delinquents who stripped this old van), stealing someone's life savings and depriving an entire neighborhood of tacos is punishable by death in some corners of the world. You should give the man his cart back.

The US Open grew from an exclusive entertainment event for the high society to a $16 million prize money championship for over 600 male and female professional players.
The event was first held in August 1881 as the U.S. National Singles Championship for men. Only clubs that were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association were permitted to enter. The championships were staged at the Newport Casino, Newport, Rhode Island.
In 1900 U.S. National Men's Doubles Championship was held for the first time. Tournaments were held in the east and the west of the country in order to determine the best two teams (sectional winners). These would then compete in a play-off - the winner would play the defending champions in the challenge round.
Six years after the men's nationals were held, the first official U.S. Women's National Singles Championship was held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club[?] in 1897, followed by women's doubles in 1889.
The open era began in 1968 when all five events were merged into the US Open at the West Side Tennis Club[?] in Forest Hills, Queens[?], New York. That year 96 men and 63 women entered the event with prize money amounting to $100,000.

Photo from the Secret Colours Facebook page.
To paraphrase that most interesting man from the Dos Equis commercials, I don't always see seven music acts within 24 hours, but when I do, I write about it on Broken Hearted Toy. Here's a brief rundown on how I spent the first half of the Labor Day weekend.
Tributosaurus was in the midst of "Carry On" from the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young LP, Deja Vu, when my wife Pam and I arrived at the Taste Of Polonia festival at the Copernicus Center in Jefferson Park on Friday night. A serious thunderstorm passing through the area had threatened to cancel the well-known cover band's CSN and Y homage. There were at least nine musicians onstage, with the front four taking turns on lead vocals. Joining forces, they perfectly captured those Crosby, Stills and Nash harmonies on "Helplessly Hoping," "Teach Your Children," and "Guinnevere."
Along with the hits "Southern Cross" and "Just A Song Before I Go," the band covered deep tracks like "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Deja Vu," while making the occasional side trip into Neil Young solo territory for songs like "Alabama." Tributosaurus has stated they love covering Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; it would be fun to see them do a show of Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and Hollies covers.
On Saturday afternoon, I dropped by the Remix Chicago street festival on Milwaukee Avenue and caught sets by Secret Colours, who looked younger than I had imagined from listening to the swirling, psychedelic rock on their CDs; former Treaty Of Paris vocalist-guitarist Daniel Wade, whose guitar-driven songs sounded like they could notch some significant time on the current charts; and the band Fletcher, who mixed soaring guitars within atmospheric arrangements. It was a kick to finally see Archie Powell and The Exports, whose 2012 satirical masterpiece, Great Ideas In Action, came in a close second on the BHT list of the year's best releases. The band ripped through cuts from the CD, like "Metronome," "Crazy Pills," and "Shooting Spree."
From there, I took the blue line up to The Abbey Pub, where Ellis Clark and Phil Angotti were headlining an evening of live music sponsored by CAUdog Records. Singer-acoustic guitarist Liz Chidester, a recent transplant from Virginia, got things underway with an engaging set of original tunes and a cover of George Gershwin's "Summertime." Chidester has a classic folk singer delivery, but her vocals also have a bluesy playfulness at times. Her performance at The Abbey Pub bodes well for a debut release coming out within the next month.
Clark and Angotti, backed by drummer Dr. Brad and bassist Charlie Short, opened with a faithful take on The Bee Gees' "New York Mining Disaster 1941," and then alternated between original songs from each of their solo careers. The set included Clark's "All Told" and Angotti's "Out Of Thin Air," from their new releases, LP Number One and Life And Rhymes, respectively. They tossed in a cover of the Emmitt Rhodes chestnut, "Fresh As A Daisy," and closed with a rousing take on The Beatles' "Hey Bulldog."

Assalaam u Alaykum,
Can you provide some examples for the pronunciation of the letter dhaad (), as in 'waladdaalleen'. I have heard some expert reciters from india and pakistan recite it in a very soft manner almost resembling a soft DHhaa (as in DHhulm). Yet, all of the Arab reciters I have heard recite it with a sound resembling a slightly softer, yet heavier (as in dinaar). I have been told by an Indian qari that the Arabic books of tajwid support their pronunciation, such as Shatibi. Can you shed some light on this issue?
I would greatly appreciate some audio files which has several examples of the correct pronunciation of the dhaad () in it.
Jazaak Allaah Khayr. Wassalaam u Alaykum.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
This is a commonly asked question. Please see the following links of previous questions and answers on the letter and its pronunciation as well as the lesson on its articulation point below:
The articulation point of the is different from the and the tip of the tongue used for the , must not be used for the , otherwise it will sound like a "heavy" .
For audio files, there is one file in the links above, but we also suggest you listen to recitations of Al-Faatihah, and listen for the pronunciation of the in the word . Please see the following links and select al-Faatihah and listen for the last aayah:
We aren't sure which of the two ways was said to be supported in the Arabic books on tajweed, but we can assure you the early books, and all of the later books on tajweed define the same articulation point, but in Arabic as we have in the lesson on the letter , http://www.abouttajweed.com/sidetongue.htm .
Imam Ash-Shaatiby wrote the following about the letter in his poem on the seven qira'aat:
And the side of the tongue,
then the deepest part of it for an elongated letter
Until what lies opposite to it of the molars and it is from both of them [sides]
Difficult and with the right is the least [used]
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree said:
And the Dhaad from its side [tongue] if is followed by
The molars from the left or its right [side of tongue].
Both of these definitions outlined in these two poems, which are considered as foundations for tajweed, state that the side of the tongue, not the tip are used. If the tip is used, you will hear the sound of a , or if the tip and the edges of the two top upper teeth are used, it will sound like a '. If however, the sides are used as described here, without the tip, the sound will not sound like a or a .
The is a letter that needs practice to achieve its pronunciation correctly, and the student of the Qur'an will need to work on making sure the side of the tongue is hitting the gum area by the molars, and not using his/her tip of the tongue when articulating this letter.
Wa iyyaakum. Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

My DVR contains a little Dr. Phil. I'm particularly obsessed with the eating disorder shows, having recovered from anorexia and bulimia about ten years ago. Last week, Dr. Phil interviewed two families with 26-year-old anorexics.
Dr. Phil got Meagan, a 26-year-old anorexic, in his chair, and he basically read her the riot act.
It's the same thing he did to 26-year-old Jennifer a while back. Jennifer left treatment.
How's that working for you, Dr. Phil?
You've got it wrong. You have clearly never suffered from anorexia. I'm going to set the record straight.
You're right. Anorexia is a serious mental illness. Accusing an anorexic of being manipulative and controlling of her family hands the reins back over to her disease. Telling her she's tearing her family apart pushes her back to the chaos of her own mind.
Chastising an anorexic works about as well as telling your teenaged Juliet not to take Romeo to the prom. You never made Romeo look better until you told her he was bad news.
This summer I read I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, by Joanne Greenberg, a severe schizophrenic who recovered with the help of therapist Dr. Fried. Dr. Fried helped Deborah Blau, Greenberg's doppelganger, see that the kingdom of Yr was a creation of her own mind. I thought for a long time after reading the book that Dr. Fried could have helped me: She convinced Deborah that Yr was a creation of her own doing. And that is what anorexia is.
An anorexic truly believes that different rules apply to her than apply to the rest of the world. An anorexic -- no matter how she got there -- has created an alternate reality for herself, one in which she can't eat normally, she isn't allowed to eat normally. Anorexics are not pleased with these rules. They are infuriated by them. I was. I wore my anger like a shield. And anyone who tried to change my behavior bounced off that shield like paper arrows.
What worked, what finally worked, was realizing that I myself had created that alternate reality, that kingdom of Yr. I had created those rules.
Me at my senior prom. Probably around 30 pounds underweight. Heart palpitations.
Just as no one else in my life really gives a shit whether or not I ever publish another word, no one in my life cared if I weighed 100 pounds or 145 -- except me.
I was the enemy. Not them.
But the way to make an anorexic see that is not to come down on her, to bash into her head in about how much she is hurting those around her. No good person wants to see their loved ones hurt. But anorexics live in their heads -- they can't fathom the hurt around them because they don't see an alternative. The rules won't bend, no matter how much they hurt anyone else. The way to combat anorexia is within the mind of the anorexic.
It's not a pretty disease. There's often laxative abuse, restriction and vomiting, an inability to retain calories for fear they will destroy all the hard work the anorexic has done. There is a sense of purity in hunger that can't be explained to anyone who hasn't gone through it.
And clearly, Dr. Phil's methods aren't going to work. They aren't.
The fear is too real. The fear is as great as the kingdom of Yr.
The mind is a powerful tool.
Anorexics aren't stupid. We know -- I knew -- that I was unhealthy. There were days when a heavy door would take me out, and I would think, "Oh my God, I might die today." It wasn't something I wanted.
I read cookbooks relentlessly, trying to imagine what the food would taste like. Every bite I did eat was both a blessing and a curse. I knew I needed the food, but the food felt like a sin.
How do you explain this to someone who never experienced it? How do you explain the voices in your head that tell you everything you've ever done will come undone if you ingest a "normal" amount of food?
And anorexics aren't blind. We see other people putting food in their mouths like it's no big deal. We wonder, honestly, why we can't exist in this world where other people function normally.
Other people see us as vain. They think we diet to look better than them. Dr. Phil's guests described their daughter Meagan as "evil." The mother wondered aloud if it was a bid for attention.
This makes me angry. Would we describe diabetes as a bid for attention? Heart disease?
When will we acknowledge mental illness as a disease?
Meagan's sister describes her as a "monster."
And all I could think of was my senior year of high school, when probably everyone who loves me thought that of me -- me, who is now recovered and a rational human being who has spent the past fifteen years overcoming anorexia and anxiety disorder that threatened my life and almost killed me. I could've been Meagan. If I hadn't recovered, that could've been me, instead of the me who was me at 26, engaged, happy, recovered.
A girl in my hometown died this year of anorexia, and it hit me really hard. She could've been me. I thank God every day that somehow, some way I was able to see that I was the only one who was creating these rules, creating Yr, and that it might be possible to relax those rules and see what happened. To see how bad life would be if I just gained a little weight.
If you are reading this and you are suffering from anorexia, please e-mail me at email@example.com. I do understand what you are going through.
Here's what happened: I started eating more normally, and I immediately gained 20 pounds. I needed to, but it was terrifying. I spent 11 years as a vegetarian, seven as a vegan, to avoid eating anything with animal fat in it, thinking that would make me fat. I continued to gain weight at a very rapid rate because my metabolism was so messed up. My metabolism didn't correct itself until I got pregnant at age 29.
Pregnancy brought back all my fears about gaining weight without a governor. I was certain I'd continue to gain weight until I weighed 300 pounds. I gained 45 pounds with my daughter despite working out four times a week for 45 minutes each. I ate healthy foods. And still it packed on.
But -- wait for it -- I made myself view it as temporary, and it was temporary. It was. The weight went away. You may gain weight, you may lose it. It's okay. It's okay.
After childbirth, I started exercising again after six weeks. I tried Pilates. I joined Weight Watchers. And it came back off. I found I could eat "normally" for the first time in 15 years without immediately gaining ten pounds. I've been within my BMI and pretty stable for the past seven years since giving birth.
I'm recovered.
Photo by Yvonne Marie, my sister in body image issues. 143 pounds, healthy, 5'6".
I can bench your mother.
And that's rare.
My psychologist tells me only about 20 percent of anorexics make a full recovery. The rest relapse over and over throughout their lives, experience disordered eating or die of complications. I could've died, but I didn't, and I want to spend my life helping other girls and women recover from the grips of anorexia and bulimia.
It is a miracle that I saw my Yr without outside help.
If you want to help your anorexic child, don't tell her she's selfish. Don't tell her she's manipulating your family.
Ask her what it would feel like to live under the same rules as everyone else.
Then ask her why she can't.
Help her understand she's created Yr, and it only exists in her own head. That life is there for her taking, but she's the only one who can seize it. That you love her, but you will watch her die if she doesn't see her constructs as purely her own.
That food isn't poison.
It won't be easy.
When an anorexic starts to recover, the weight gain will be rapid. The metabolism is shot. The body will grab on to the calories. The anorexic needs support through this period. It is beyond painful to go through this weight gain. Think of a heroin addict going through detox. Yep.
It won't last forever. The body will reboot. You must be patient, and this is the most important time. Gaining weight after anorexia is as terrifying as losing a limb. Anorexia is a mental illness -- the physical manifestation is just a symptom of what is going on inside. Only the mind can decide to eat or not to eat.
Treat the mind, and the body will follow.
I'm sure it is difficult for the family. I feel horrible for my family for what I put them through, but I know they now understand I did not do it to them out of malice. I was sick.
I thank God every day my family and friends stood by me and still love me after the hell this disease wreaked on us.
But Dr. Phil, this ain't my first rodeo.
You're doing it wrong.

More efficient quad-core Xeons coming Monday
- 12 March, 2007 08:49
Intel quad-core microprocessors that work at an energy-efficient 50 watts per processor will officially be on the market this week, according to the company.
Each of the four cores in its new Xeon L5320 and L5310 will consume just 12.5 watts of electricity, according to Intel. The company claims the new Xeons use between 35 percent and nearly 60 percent less power than its existing 80-watt and 120-watt quad-core server products.
The L5320 operates at 1.86 GHz and the L5310 at 1.60 GHz. They both feature 8M bytes of on-die cache for faster memory data communication. In quantities of 1,000 units, the L5320 is priced at US$519 and the L5310 at US$455.
The new Xeons can be coupled with Intel's existing Bensley server platform, replacing existing dual-core or quad-core Intel processors.
Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. are locked in competition for dominance in the quad-core chip market, as enterprises demand more performance out of servers. Meanwhile, customers are demanding greater energy efficiency as data center electrical costs rise.
AMD in February released details of its coming new quad-core chip, code-named Barcelona, at a technical conference in San Francisco.
Barcelona, due to be released midyear, improves performance and energy efficiency over the competition and over AMD's own dual-core processor, the Opteron, which it introduced in 2003, said Brent Kerby, product marketing manager for Opteron, in an earlier IDG News Service interview.
Servers based on the new Xeons are expected to be available worldwide over the next few months from such server manufacturers as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and others.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- A Web-based seminar presented by Penn State Extension's Marcellus Education Team will focus on how sharply higher volumes of liquefied natural gas -- generated by the shale gas boom in Pennsylvania and other places -- will boost United States' exports.
The one-hour presentation, which begins at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 8, will feature Sugandha Tuladhar, vice president of NERA Economic Consulting. He will discuss the results of a new study sponsored by Cheniere Energy Inc., titled "Updated Macroeconomic Impacts of LNG Exports from the United States."
That report is an update of the study of the macroeconomic impacts of liquefied natural gas exports that was issued by the U.S. Department of Energy in December 2012.
In 2013, the United States produced more than 24.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, Tuladhar noted. With the continued increase in natural gas production, more talk has turned to exporting it in the form of liquefied natural gas -- or LNG. The LNG export potential from the United States is enormous and the economic impacts will be significant, he predicted.
"The new study responds to several issues raised since the first study, including use of current data, cumulative impacts of additional license approvals, impacts on the competitiveness of the U.S. chemicals industry and impacts of LNG exports on employment," Tuladhar said.
"The study addresses 63 scenarios for potential LNG exports, looking at a mix of assumptions relating to U.S. natural gas supply, the international supply and demand and the future capacity and rate of growth of U.S. LNG exports. LNG exports from the United States provide net economic benefits in all the scenarios we investigated, and the greater the level of exports, the greater the benefits"

The site also offers information about upcoming webinars. It is important that all who register provide an email address to receive the link to the upcoming webinar.
Previous webinars, publications and information also are available on the Penn State Extension natural-gas website, covering a variety of topics, such as natural gas production and waste figures; oil and gas best practices; Act 13 (Pennsylvania's oil and gas law); the volume of gas in shale formations under Pennsylvania; seismic testing; air pollution from gas development; water use and quality; natural gas liquids regional development; royalties; gas-leasing considerations for landowners; gas pipelines and right-of-way issues; legal issues surrounding gas development; the impact of Marcellus gas development on forestland; gas pipelines and pipeline project trends; royalty calculations and decline curves; and the reclamation of cuttings from the drilling of shale gas wells.
For more information, contact Carol Loveland at 570-320-4429 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In 2013, the United States produced more than 24 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. With the continued increase in natural gas production, more talk has turned to exporting it in the form of liquefied natural gas -- or LNG. The LNG export potential from the United States is enormous and the economic impacts are predicted to be great.

Video Sunday Vol. 54
14 Apr 2013 — Editor
Time for Video Sunday, which you honestly shouldn't take notice of, at least not if you live in Berlin - spring seems to be here, finally, so go to some park or whatever and enjoy. As regards those new or slightly new pieces for music by Adventure, James Blake, DJ Rashad, Postiljonen, The Cyclist, and Implodes - all excellent stuff, sure, but really, you can watch that later.

I just love smart marketing/PR stunts, and Abercrombie & Fitch has got the world's attention today with theirs. In a world where it's hard to grab the attention, social buzz, links and viral crazyess their marketing team has managed to that so well. You know you're doing well for your brand when you're trending on Twitter! Luckily for Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, this could work out well for him as any press is good press.
"We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image. We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans. We have therefore offered a substantial payment to Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino and the producers of MTV's The Jersey Shore to have the character wear an alternate brand. We have also extended this offer to other members of the cast, and are urgently waiting a response."
This is something to be studied by everyone in the marketing game from student to master because this is how it's done these days. If you take a quick look on news sites, blogs and the search traffic/chatter you'll see that they're coming out big with all sorts of win. The amount of links alone that will be flying at A & F should well be worth it. While I don't think The Situation will be wearing anymore of their clothing (not a big loss really), this is a good time for some other clothing company to jump out of the dark. So hear me now, if you want The Situation to rock your clothing label, you'd better start beating the doors down now. There's a seriously good amount of marketing to be gained from this so heed my warning!

Wild Irish Fuchsia
I was trying to think of something to post today when it occurred to me that in a few weeks I'll be off to Ireland again to visit one of my customers and catch a little sight seeing if time and weather permits. I thought I'd follow up my last photo of flowers with this shot of a Fuchsia bush that I found while trying to see if I could get a good angle on some boats that happened to be in view. I never saw fuchsia that wasn't in a pot before hanging on someones porch so it was a pleasant sight.

View from the Sector
Cascading Asset Transfer was a course run by the Asset Transfer Unit and funded through Capacitybuilders Income Generation Workstream, funded by Capacitybuilders and the Asset Transfer Unit.
The aim of the course is to equip workers in VCS infrastructure support organisations with the knowledge to support both VCS groups and local authorities considering or undertaking community asset transfer or asset based development.
Course Outcomes
'Assets Ambassadors' in local infrastructure organis- ations who can recognise and understand asset development opportunities for VCS organisations, can help develop projects and can signpost appropriately and confidently. More confidence and understanding of the process will lead to better quality projects being developed and a network of asset transfer expertise across the country.
Course Structure
The course development has been based on the Asset Transfer Partnership Routemap published in 2010, which uses case studies to map the key stages involved in successful asset transfer. The course will explore each of the crucial stages, helping those who work to support the VCS to understand the role they can play at each stage and to learn and recognise good practice.
What is community asset transfer?
The 2008 Quirk Review identified clear benefits from local groups owning or managing assets; as a means of empowering communities and as an effective way for local government to achieve its goals.
At its simplest, community asset transfer is a process by which the management or ownership of land or buildings in local authority ownership is 'transferred' to the voluntary & community sector (VCS). Community ownership can bring together people from different backgrounds. It can foster a sense of belonging. It can play a role in enhancing the local environment, alleviating poverty and raising people's aspirations. Fundamentally, it's about giving local people a bigger stake in the future of their community – the 'Big Society' in action.
Participants on the Cascading Asset Transfer Course on the issues facing communities around Asset Transfer.
- The tools and resources developed and provided by the Asset Transfer Unit are useful and good.
- Model strategies and policies are particularly useful
- There needs to be more information about where groups can find sources of support.
- Cascading this knowledge amongst both third sector organisations and infrastructure support will be really useful
- There is a huge amount of uncertainty in communities at the moment about the potential future of assets and their own sustainability as organisations.
- There needs to be more support and information on the financial support which may be available to help groups with asset transfer.
- Infrastructure organizations are being asked to make recommendations to their own local authorities so it is useful to be able to have additiona support services through the ATU to refer people to.
- There is a concern that the community won't have access to "good" assets rather than those which can't be sold quickly for capital receipts.
- There seems to be a big push coming from local authorities and government for assets to be taken on by third sector groups- decisions may be rushed and viability is a concern.
- Case studies are ALWAYS useful, and those available on www.buildingcommunity.org.uk are a good way of communicating ideas and stories.

Compare cheap flights to Hong Kong
When is the cheapest time to fly to Hong Kong?
Things to do in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is perfect example of how east meets west. It became Britain's colony in 1842, and became an international trade, finance, and culture centre under its rule.
Now, Hong Kong combines Chinese traditions with British culture. So no worries because that also means the locals can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.
From colonial to cosmopolitan, the city is a gateway for exploring the rest of Asia. Besides shopping in Hong Kong, the city has plenty to offer you with tourist attractions, mouth-watering meals, spectacular views, numerous festivals and more.
See all of Hong Kong and its iconic skyscrapers at Victoria Peak, where you'll find the best views of the city, day or night. If you want a bit of whimsy, buy your tickets to Hong Kong Disneyland to relive your childhood. For Hong Kong's other best theme park, try Ocean Park and hang out with the animals.
Want to feel more of the east? Take the MTR to see Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower in Kowloon or hop on the Ngong Ping 360 cable car for a breathtaking ride to the Giant Buddha on Lantau Island!
If you're looking to spend your Hong Kong Dollars, Causeway Bay is your shopping haven. Other shopping centres you can go to are The Landmark, Harbour City, and Pacific Place. Bargain hunt and test your haggling skills in Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Tung Chung.
Is your night just starting? Then check out the Temple Street Night Market, or wine and dine in SoHo and Lan Kwai Fong.
Feeling festive? Join in on Hong Kong's festivals throughout the year. Celebrate the Chinese New Year in February, Dragon Boat Festival in June, Hong Kong National Day in October, Christmas Winterfest in December among others!
And if that's not enough Hong Kong for you, here are 50 reasons to love Hong Kong. So what are you waiting for? Start searching for cheap airfare on Skiddoo and book direct flights and more to Hong Kong!
When to visit Hong Kong
Used to our climate? Then the best time to visit Hong Kong is by the end of April when it's drier and warmer. Temperatures drop during the last quarter of the year for pleasant weather during the holiday season. Between late May and mid-September, you might experience high temperatures and severe weather.
You can also book flights and fly to Hong Kong anytime since Australians can stay in the city within 90 days without a visa. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months, and you're ready to go.
Travelling to and around Hong Kong
Direct flights and all other flights land at Hong Kong International Airport HKG on the island of Chek Lap Kok. Read this and know your way around HKIA. Travel from the Hong Kong airport to the city centre by:
- Hong Kong Airport Express train: 24 minutes
- Bus: 45 minutes to Central Hong Kong and around 30 minutes to Kowloon depending on traffic
- Taxi cab: 30 minutes depending on traffic
There are many ways to wander Hong Kong including taxi, bus, train, car hire and booked tours from holiday packages. But we recommend the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), which has signs in English and connects you to most Hong Kong destinations.
Now find cheap tickets on Skiddoo, book your Hong Kong flights today, and say 'Ni Hao' (hello) to Hong Kong!

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Over the past few weeks I have been making heavy use of the Database tools in Visual Studio 2010 (formerly known as datadude, DBPro, VSTS for Database Professionals or one of a plethora of other names that it has gone by over the past few years) and one of the features that has most impressed me has been database references.
Database references allow you to have stored procedures in your database project that refer to objects (tables, views, stored procedures etc…) that exist in other database projects and hence when you build your database project it is able to resolve those references. Gert Drapers has a useful introduction to them at his blog post Database References; in his words database references allow you to:
represent and resolve 3 and/or 4-part name usage inside a database project. Database references are conceptually the same as assembly references inside a C# or VB.NET projects; they allow you to reference objects from your database project that live inside another namespace (database).
It occurred to me that similar functionality would be incredibly useful for SQL Server Integration Services(SSIS), Analysis Services (SSAS) & Reporting Services (SSRS) projects. After all reports, packages and data source views are rife with references to database objects – why shouldn't we be able to have design-time dependency checking in our BI projects the same way that database and .Net developers do?
Here are some examples of ways in which this would be useful:
To this end I have submitted three identical suggestions to Connect, one each for SSIS, SSAS & SSRS:
[SSAS] Declare database object dependencies
[SSRS] Declare database object dependencies
[SSIS] Declare database object dependencies
I have said before in my blog post The SQL developer gap that we database and BI developers deserve as much love from Microsoft as our .Net counterparts do and I'm of the opinion that providing design-time dependency checking across the full gamut of BI projects would be a huge step in the right direction. The holy grail is an object dependency graph from database tables all the way up through database views, database functions, stored procedures, DAL, ORM layer & business logic layer all the way through to presentation – I don't know how long it will take but we will get there one day I am sure, hopefully sooner rather than later!
UPDATE: This feature (i.e. the ability to define dependencies on database objects at build time) is coming to the Entity Framework as confirmed in this Connect submission: http://bit.ly/igmEiS. Let's hope the same comes to SSIS/SSAS/SSRS soon.

My only issue w/ the DB references is that creating a partial project with only the objects you actually need is a painful process. If you don't do that, the load times are really, really long. We do a lot of cross-DB development in our shop and the really long validation process and worse, the build/deploy process makes the DB Project painful. We deploy 10 DBs to an empty server and the process takes 45 minutes to build/deploy. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but waiting 45 minutes to push a new copy of the databases to your local box is a pretty long time.
I have similar issues although certainly not that extreme (our deploy of 10 DBs takes between 10 & 15 mins). I find that the pain is worth it tho.
Parsing/building/deploying with huge .dbschema file references (e.g. master.dbschema and any others you've grabbed wholesale) takes ages!
Edit (i.e. the XML, it's pretty straight forward) the large .dbschema files to only include the referenced objects you are actually using from your project DB - Project startup & deploy will FLY :-)
Three months ago I wrote a blog post entitled Some thoughts on Visual Studio database references and
