Thanksgiving Trends: What's Hot & What's Not in 2011
The Bitten Word
Get out your recipes and start your shopping lists! It's November 1st, which means open season on Thanksgiving planning. Zach and Clay from The Bitten Word are here to help us get started with a look at what's trending (and what's not) in our favorite food magazines this year.
After collecting all of this year's Thanksgiving issues and indexing their recipes, Zach and Clay's verdict is that Thanksgiving 2011 is looking pretty laid back, actually. Lots of traditional comfort dishes and familiar flavors. Which, given how hard food magazines try to re-invent the wheel every year, honestly feels like a welcome relief!
Some trends were clear. Vegetarian main dishes put in a good showing. And after a few seasons of a "Thanksgiving cake" trend, pie is back (hooray!). Green beans and Brussels sprouts led the charge for side dishes, while corn continues to be absent from Thanksgiving recipes.
Take a look at Zach and Clay's full analysis of this year's trends:
• Thanksgiving 2011 Trends in Food Magazines: Pies, Pecans, Ginger and Green Beans from The Bitten Word
And you'll want to bookmark their index of recipes for future reference and menu planning:

Shouldn't this be about year 2011.
twylag - I thought the same thing, LOL
I def. want to make something different this year for thanksgiving to add to the meal but I'm not sure what.
one year I did a cream corn pudding type thing and oven roasted veggies (potato, carrots, squash, etc) and my brother and husband, who are very traditional when it comes to thanksgiving, were disappointed...they just wanted basic corn out of can with some butter and old fashion mashed potatoes.
Ha! 2012, indeed. Apparently, I'm eager for the new year to come! Fixing now...
For sure I am NOT cooking a turkey this year. It's never worth the effort involved, and I would honestly rather have a roast chicken instead.
Def. doing a raw kale salad again, and chanterelle mushroom stuffing/dressing. I have vegetarians coming over so I'm thinking more about the veggies this year--maybe stuffed squash or eggplant for a main?
I love a good word cloud.
I'm so glad people are warming up to the Brussels sprouts. I was totally ignorant to their awesomeness until Nigella talked me into them last Christmas. I'm really looking forward to them this year! And I love making my own cranberry sauce. So delicious and so not a big deal at all.
We get creative with the side-dishes, but the family is really hide-bound about having turkey. But it's never dry and I love the dark meat anyway.
I tried brussel sprouts for the first time last night. I got some in my produce box a couple weeks ago & I thought about subbing them, but decided to give them a shot. The recipe I found was to sautee them in honey butter until they carmelized, then add some chili flakes, a bit of water, cover, & cook a few more min until done. I can't believe I hadn't tried them before! I'm going to start buying them & will be making them for Thanksgiving this year.
It looks like I will be attending THREE Thanksgiving dinners (big one Friday, so will probably wind up at a friend's Thursday, and "fake Thanksgiving" with other friends the following weekend), so this is exciting. Might go for straight up vegetable sides, might bring my Mediterranean flair.
So I'm thinking 3-4 of the following:
-a favorite root vegetable bake with cheddar biscuit topping
-baked spinach with cream
-spanish-style spinach and chickpeas (not really Thanksgiving-rate fancy, but easy and good)
-sweet potato bisteeya from Ana Sortun's cookbook (is it savory? is it sweet? who knows? it's awesome!)
-apple/ginger/cranberry crumble

Buggin' Out: Urban Bug Farming for the Future
In many cultures eating insects is more than a delicacy – it's a food staple. However, the use of bugs as a mainstream ingredient is a foreign idea in the developed world. As the human population continues to grow, we have to think about how to feed people. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has shown interest in using insects as an alternative food source. Due to their high concentration of the eight essential amino acids, vitamin B12, riboflavin, vitamin A, amazingly efficient converters that leave a much smaller environmental impact on the planet than cattle.
Once technologies are developed to produce insect-based food ingredients they can be incorporated into numerous food products. They would make great protein substitutes as any food additives to cereal, snack bars, or traditional meals. The high nutritional value, probiotic potential, and affordable price are just a few reasons why many Asian and Latin restaurants already offer insects on their menu.
Rethinking the urban farm and how to deal with the upcoming need to increase food supplies, Claire Lemarchand is planning a series of cricket farms to be placed throughout cities, that go beyond just growing bugs. Crickets are bred in cylindrical units surrounding a light source, to optimize yield, and are fed fresh food waste from the market and surrounding restaurants. While at night, the cricket farming units double as an urban lighting system.
Is urban bug farming a valid food source strategy? What other ideas could be implemented into our food supply networks? Or, could push the boundaries of urban farming and sustainable food sources to better prepare for future food demands?

Jun 4 2013: I think as long as I didn't have to stare directly into the eyes of a bug as I was attempting to eat it I wouldn't mind this idea. Everything said above is true. Our food, in my opinion is going to crap. Big name companies own all the major food production industries which supply major chain grocery stores. These companies only care about making the biggest profit they can with little thought about what is actually being thrown into our food to make it taste good. With the economy today buying local or all natural foods from smaller chain specialty stores is difficult on many peoples wallets. If bugs could be a more nutritional and natural additive at a decent price they why shouldn't we consider it? As long as bugs taste like chicken like Timon and Pumba claim, then I am game!

Resources: Books by Ed Tick
Following are books written by Soldier's Heart founder Ed Tick. You may order them using the links to their publishers.
War and the Soul:
Healing Our Nation's Veterans from Post-traumatic
Stress Disorder
Edward Tick, Ph.D.
Book: $19.95 - Paper Quest Books
DVD: $15.95 [$17.95 PAL] - A brief 90 minute synopsis of War and the Soul Quest Books
The key to healing post-traumatic stress disorder, says psychotherapist
Ed Tick, is in how we understand PTSD. In war's overwhelming violence,
the soul—the true self—flees and can become lost for life. He redefines
PTSD as a true identity disorder, with radical implications for therapy.
First, Tick establishes the traditional context of war in mythology
and religion. Then he describes in depth PTSD in terms of identity
issues. Finally, drawing on world spiritual traditions, he presents
ways to nurture a positive identity based in compassion and forgiveness.
War and the Soul will change the way we think about war, for veterans
and for all those who love and want to help them. It shows how to
make the wounded soul whole again. When this work is achieved, PTSD
vanishes and the veteran can truly return home.
The Golden Tortoise
Edward Tick, Ph.D.

Jersey City, NJ | Member Since 2010
"Dating in New York is a Horrible Crapshoot."
I pre-ordered Not a Match because like many twenty-somethings living in the New York metropolitan area, I have tried internet dating. It's the the only way I to meet people and successfully filter out the creeps and crazies 100% of 75% of the time. If the cosmopolitan mating call of dark, expensive cocktail soaked lounges with too-loud music after 9 doesn't appeal to you, and for some reason your best friend's mother won't set you up with a nice Jewish boy... yeah, the internet is where its at. There are a lot of sites, a lot of members, a lot of weirdos, a lot of liars, and somewhere... SOMEWHERE... is your perfect match.
Just do the math. Literally. Brian Donovan wrote an equation for you (kind of.)
I've been on a lot of disastrous, semi-disastrous, or dull dates (and will likely go on many more), and I wish they'd been half as entertaining as Brian Donovan. His prose is sardonic, his wit dry, and his writing style entertaining.
Ax Norman was a great narrator; effusive where necessary, sarcastic in the right spots. He embodied the voice of Donovan's New York-style of storytelling very well. I kept reaching for my coffee thinking it was a cocktail and remembering I was in the office, and not a bar in the village, on a first date, listening to his stories.
"The X-Files meets Grimm meets Law and Order"
I got caught up in my life, so Indexing took me by surprise when I saw it on the Audible homepage on Tuesday.
Narrated by Mary Robinette Kowal.
And I was like, Toby Day and Henrietta (Henry!!) Marchen* cannot have a similar voice, that would be weird.
But it wasn't that weird after a while. In fact, I kind of like it. Kowal's familiar hard-boiled cadence transported my brain into a similar, but entirely new, world.
Imagine the most powerful magical force in the universe was a neutral, non-corporeal non-entity that existed to do nothing but complete fairytales over and over again with whoever was handy. Now imagine that in order to combat the ever-invasive narrative (think of it as kudzu!), there's a government agency called the ATI - a little like the X-Files!
Every person has the potential to be drawn into the Narrative. Every fairytale has an index number, every tale is indexed and classified. And everyone, absolutely everyone, who has been drawn into the Narrative, is watched for the rest of their lives. Because when fairytales activate... there's a lot of collateral damage. There's no such thing as a real Ever After, or when there is, it's not good.
Indexing is a compilation of serial novellas, much like McGuire's "Velveteen Vs." series. I found the beginning to be very thrilling. It lagged a little in the middle, but picked right back up at the end again. I didn't realize it was a serial until afterwards, so parts of it felt extremely disjointed, and I was wondering if I just kept missing parts (I didn't!)
The thing I most love about McGuire's more recent work is her easy inclusion of LGBT characters. It always feels natural in her word, as natural as the magic that drives the plot.
Can't wait for the next one :)
*Loving the continued feminine full name with a masculine nickname trend. LOVE IT.
"Emergency. Tweezers."
Mara Altman deftly tackles the extremely taboo first world problem of hair removal in modern America.
Of COURSE I don't want you to know about my unmentionable hairs. It's obvious I have arm hair, and sometimes I give up on my pits and legs for a few months at time because lalala I can wear tights and longsleeves, and I am Staunchly Feminist about my lower region. But I have parts you don't know about. Emergency tweezers in my purse.
We don't talk about this. EVER. We never talk about emergency tweezers, and Mara Altman WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT. And it's a beautiful thing.
I wish we lived in a society where this was not a big deal. But if we did, then I wouldn't be able to listen to Mara's hilarious exploration of our culture, how it came to be, and the terrifying billion-dollar industry that now stands because of it.
In short, if you're a person who grooms, listen to this. Now. It'll take you like an hour. And you'll laugh and commiserate the whole way through.
"Velveteen vs My Heart"
Imagine a world where instead of Hollywood, the Kardashians, Real Housewives, and the Bachelor, you had The Super Patriots. And The Super Patriots had the world's best marketing division. And it's always on. Velveteen's world looks and functions exactly like ours, except their celebrities are superhumans – and the marketing division decides the vantage points of good and evil. As you can imagine, anyone not with them must be against them – but when 95% of the world's operational superheroes are with them… being against them gets a little tricky.
Velveteen is a superhuman whose focus has always been on the human, rather than the super. She wants the world to reflect that back at her. I do, too. She is a heroine I could have met on the subway yesterday.
When Seanan McGuire started writing Velveteen shorts, I don't think she expected her "silly superhero stories" to resonate so soundly with the world we live in, to tell a truth so firmly and make us laugh until we cry with poignancy and wit. I haven't listened with a book without stopping for a long time but, I powered through Velveteen (clocking in at twelve and half hours) in almost exactly two days. That should tell you something about Velveteen and the enrapturing world she takes you to.
"Hackers meets Mean Girls meets Love Potion No. 9"
This book was fantastically written and has a great plot, but please see below for why it gets a 2 star rating from me. Spoilers. Spoilers everywhere.
Arielle DeLisle is a FANTASTIC narrator, and I will be looking for other books read by her.
Audrey McCarthy is your typical teen programmer - shy, introverted, and brilliant. She's also very poor - her dad died three years ago in a terrible work accident, and her mom is a lunch lady. When Public (read: Facebook) announces an app contest with Danny Beaton (read: Justin Bieber) as the spokesperson, she knows its her only chance to go to the college she deserves to go to. So, she programs The Boyfriend App - a sophisticated dating algorithm (read: OkCupid) with GPS capabilities that will alert you when your highest match is within 100 yards. While initially a great craze, the teenagers occasionally end up so mismatched that fights break out everywhere and BFA soon loses steam, knocking it out of the running to win. During an effort to get back in the running, Audrey accidentally discovers nefarious neurotransmitting software within Public's basic applications and OPS, and modifies it to turn BFA 2.0's female-only users into date-rape machines.
That's right, she programs the app to emit a sonic signal that elicits dopamine and oxytocin production in the brain of the user's target. User A likes Target A - she makes eye contact, turns the app on, Phone A sends a signal to Phone B, Phone B begins emitting the sonic signal, and Target A becomes her willing slave - all without knowing and/or understanding what is happening. This is sonic rohypnol.
Well, it's clear to me that you can't have a co-ed user base for this, since we would all automatically assume that boys would use it for sexy purposes and girls just use it for love and affection and makeouts. Good, clean things.
Audrey seems to understand that this is not an okay thing on an individual level, but that does not stop her from justifying its use for her gain. Two wrongs don't make a right, Audrey. This book could have a lot darker.
Of course, there's lots of techno-politics to keep it interesting - dirty corporate secrets, blackmail, all that good stuff.
It's all quite well-written. Slow in the beginning, but it picks up significantly.
I love reading about female engineers, and I love YA. This book was fantastic, but its promotion of using subliminal neurotechnology to remove a person's agency was extremely disturbing. It bothers me that Audrey didn't face any kind of consequence for that - she still gets the guy, in fact, he wasn't even doped when he came to her rescue in the first place, so that makes it all okay.
That and Katie Sise completely lifted the teenage fight/2.0 craze scene from Mean Girls - it was fun, and I understand why she would do it as it had to be a blast to write, but there was no originality there.
"The end!"
What a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. May contain minor spoilers.
I love how neatly everything about Gwen's family was tied up - it was an excellent decision on Gier's part to head in that direction.
I love that the butler gets in on the adventurous action!
Nothing in the world is going to convince me to get behind Gideon, however, but that's mostly because I'm really bored of the Darcy trope. I get it, he's mean because he loves you. I did like their ending, it was sweet and well-deserved.
"Revelant and Realistic Queer YA"
If You Could Be Mine is the story of two girls in Tehran who have been best friends since childhood. The protagonist, Sahar, is a very smart young woman on track for the top university in Iran. Nasrin is a spoiled rich girl whose parents are intend for her to marry as soon as she leaves high school. Neither of these situations is painted as unusual in Iranian society within the context of the book. Farizan clearly establishes the country's culture without it seeming intimidating or anti-Islam.
Negin Farsad's narration makes the story more emotionally resonant than I think it would be otherwise. Sahar spends a lot of time being angry about her situation (understandable), and defensive of her decision to pursue a sex change so she might marry Nasrin instead of her fiance. Farsad easily finds the essential nuances within that anger, creating strong, unwavering characters.
As the story is in first person singular, we don't see any of Nasrin's real feelings on the subject of her impending marriage beyond her outside behavior, and what she says to Sahar. I would have liked to know the complicated feelings going on in Nasrin's head as well; it surely could not have been easy to choose duty and a life of ease, or the love of your life.
Overall, I found If You Could Be Mine thoughtful and well-written, with fully developed characters and socially relevant storylines. I liked the insight into underground queer culture in Iran. I would have rather seen a sweet ending, or a bitter ending, rather than a bittersweet one, but I'm glad Sahar was able to make the choices she did.
"A Homeric Dystoperiffic Dreamland"
Oh, Francesca Lia Block, never change.
To be completely honest, I didn't even read the description for this book, so I had no idea what it was actually about until I started listening.
She wonderfully infuses grim dystopia with fairy dust. Love In The Time of Global Warming is a pretty straightforward retelling of the Odyssey, with (as usual, for her) a cast of teenagers, and mad scientists for villains.
It's lush, there's no better word to describe the writing. Smearing fairy dust under your eyes. Richly detailed.
I was never scared - I know the story of the Odyssey, but I loved the diversity of the cast, though at times it was a little too perfect. Block always makes sure to include the weird kids and the queer kids, and this book has them all in spades. I love that she breaks from heteronormativity and writes as if it matters without queerness being the focal point of the story. The journey about love is the story, about remembering your family, and how to get home.
Julia Whalen was a wonderful choice to narrate this dreamland. She gets the dreamy parts, and the exciting parts just right. She never breaks from Pen's truth.
"Gave up pretty quickly in"
This book has a great premise, and I want to try again in dead tree format.
I couldn't handle Cassandra Morris' narration - the stereotypical teen girl voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me, and I just wanted to smack her.
"Fun! Again!"
Can we talk about what a wonderful narrator Katherine Kellgren is? She just never drops the ball. Ever. Each recurring character is precisely the same as they have been in each previous book.
I love this series. It's pure historical fun. Heirs and Graces has a neat twist ending (with Georgie ending up rescued by someone other than Darcy, hooray!), and delightful caricatures of British nobility.

Blake Geoffrion will be with the Montreal Canadiens for another season, as the forward signed a one-year contract with the club on Monday.
According to RDS, it's a two-way deal that will pay him $803,250 in the NHL.
Geoffrion, the great-grandson of Howie Morenz and grandson of Bernie Geoffrion, was acquired in a trade package from the Nashville Predators for defenceman Hal Gill last season.
The six-foot-one, 190-pound forward was drafted 56th overall by Nashville in 2006. Prior to the trade, he split two seasons between Milwaukee of the AHL and Nashville. He had two goals in 13 NHL games with Montreal.

Fit and Flare Slip Style 550 40 41
Better than expected I was apprehensive to purchase this slip after reading the other mixed reviews and due to the fact that my dress was very low cut in the back. However, I wanted my dress to be held slightly out from my feet. This slip worked GREAT! It didn't show in the back, it held my skirt just so, and I did not have to fuss with it the entire night. It does run small (my dress is an unaltered 2, my slip a 6) August 7, 2014
Essential but Runs Small I wore this slip with the Melissa Sweet Strapless Trumpet Gown, style #MS251003. The models in the pictures are not wearing a slip, and the dress looks sort of limp and not very impressive -- it's amazing how the slip really makes it flair! For the price, the slip brings incredible value to the overall look. One thing to keep in mind: I'm a street size 4-6, my dress was a size 6, and I wore a size 10 slip. I found it difficult to breathe in the 8 (as the slip started right below my bra). August 5, 2014
Perfect Fit I wasn't sure what size to order because of all the conflicting reviews, but I went with the size of my dress, which is a 10. I am going to wear it up under my chest because it is most comfortable this way and the length is perfect and it gives my body and booty a nice shape. I am 5'7", 140 pounds, a street size 6-8. I will wear this under my DB trumpet gown, PK3472. June 20, 2014
Really makes a difference! I wasn't going to get one but I had read a review on how it makes the mermaid style "pop" . I bought one at my regular dress size and it is perfect ! It really makes it more elegant!. Love it! April 24, 2014

The TNGOP sent out an ugly mailer saying "Vote early, vote often, that's the Gloria Johnson way" with a crude cartoon of some guy wearing a sticker saying "I voted 14 times." On the other side, it says Gloria Johnson opposes voter photo ID (as if there's a problem with that?) and suggests she's promoting voter fraud. How low can they go? They must be awfully worried.

There's also a "Take the Money and Run" TV spot comparing her to Lane Kiffin. Loe claims he don't know nothin' about it.
Dirtiest local campaign around.
Yup, the Rs are worried.
Yup, the Rs are worried. Like they can't afford to lose one race. They're going to be able to do whatever they want in the legislature anyway.
Just a thought
Historically, large turnouts have favored Democrats and by all accounts, this is shaping up to be a record turnout in Tennessee. My experience in my district is that the votes are counted before the polls even open and judging from the phone activity I saw at Downtown West, there seemed to be some concern over who all these people were and why were they showing up to vote.
I'm wondering if perhaps Republicans have begun to take their base for granted and if indeed there may not be a surprise or two come election day.

Sunday Morning Coming Down
Joanne Ireland has the latest available information on Jordan Eberle. It is here. No break, but very sore and we're looking at some time (imo) before the kid returns. We'll miss him, he's one of the major reasons the Oilers are worthy following this season.
The Oilers are looking good for a lottery pick at this time, and the injuries will certainly help. Holding them back from the #1 selection is Martin Brodeur. The first ballot HOFer has a 5-18 record and a .882SP, which is the 70th best (of 75 overall) save percentage in the leaque. Jack Lemire is blaming the rookies but every Brodeur start from here on in puts the Devils closer to Sean Couturier.
Speaking of Couturier, he'll be in action for Canada this afternoon at 1pm on tsn and Team 1260. They play the Swiss in the QF's and there's no word yet on which goalie gets the start.
Troy Hesketh was traded again. The story is here and Guy Flaming does his usual strong work here.
His new GM:
- Luke Strand: "Troy is a great skater. He has good instincts, and again he's a nice two-way defenseman that can get around the rink.He makes a very good first pass, he's a competitive kid, and he's got a very bright future ahead of him. We want to give him a fresh start here and we're confident in the idea that surrounding him with the talent we have here will make him a better player and in turn make us a better team."
I think it's time to officially put Hesketh on the worry clock. Buddy is playing in the best American junior league, but it doesn't approach the WHL/OHL/QMJHL level. Or does it?
- Gabe Desjardins: It is clear that regardless of the analysis method, players who play in the USHL and CHL perform approximately the same once they get to higher-level leagues. Allowing for a year's worth of improvement, 18-year-olds in the USHL would maintain their level of scoring at age 19 if they transferred to Canadian Tier I Junior. Were they to transfer during the same season, they would likely maintain at least 80% of their scoring.
Gabe's reporting on the subject is here. That information would have been helpful when dealing with Jeff Petry (a USHL player 2005-07), but Troy Hesketh hasn't scored a point yet in the USHL. He's a defensive defenseman, but his stats line is somewhat incredible even for a stay-at-home defender:
- 22gp, 0-0-0 -12 30pims 8SOG
Remember, this is a junior league. We're looking at Chris Hajt 2.0 here. We don't have TOI totals but we do know he's on the ice often enough to have the worst plus minus on the club. Maybe the change of scenery will do him good, but Hesketh is building the resume of a blown draft pick.

The Tic Disorders Clinic & Research Unit at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School is one of only a few clinics in the United States specializing in the treatment and research of Tourette Syndrome (TS) and related tic disorders
What is a Tic?
A tic is a sudden, rapid, repetitive, involuntary muscle movement (motor tic) or vocalization (vocal tic). "Simple" tics may include eye blinking, neck or shoulder jerking, sniffing, picking, grunting, barking, and chirping. "Complex" tics can include arm flapping, facial grimacing, coprolalia (the involuntary uttering of obscene words or phrases), palilalia (involuntary repetition of one's own words), and echolalia (involuntary repetition of another person's words or phrases). Contrary to many portrayals in the media, coprolalia is rare and occurs in fewer than 10% of people with tic disorders.
Tic disorders are categorized according to age of onset, severity, duration of symptoms, and presence of vocal and/or motor tics. However, distinguishing between one tic disorder and another can be difficult.
Transient Tic Disorders typically begin in childhood and are seen in as many as 5% - 24% of school children. To receive a diagnosis, the individual must experience tics for at least 4 weeks, but not for more than 1 year. Motor tics (e.g., eye blinking, grimacing) are more frequently observed than vocal tics (e.g., throat clearing). As with all tic disorders, transient tics tend to worsen during times of increased stress, excitement, or lack of sleep.
Chronic Motor or Vocal Tic Disorder differs from transient tic disorders in that the tics persist for more than one year. Single or multiple motor or vocal tics (though not both) must be present, and the onset of the illness must occur before the age of 18.
Tourette Syndrome (Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome or TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic, though both types of tics do not necessarily need to be present at the same time.
Developmental Course
The first symptom of TS is usually a simple motor tic (e.g., eye blinking). Subsequently, an individual may develop tics involving other parts of the body, including the neck, shoulders, trunk, and limbs. Sometimes the tics become complicated and complex, involving the entire body, such as with kicking or twirling. TS sufferers often report feeling a "premonitory urge"- a strong and irresistible urge to perform a tic - followed by a momentary feeling of relief once the tic is performed. Other tics can happen without warning.
The symptoms of TS vary from person to person and range from very mild to very severe, although the majority of cases are mild. Symptoms typically wax and wane, with a peak severity between the ages of 10 and 12. Many individuals with tics experience a significant reduction of their tics as they enter adulthood. Associated problems may include impulsivity, attention difficulties (ADHD/ADD), learning disabilities, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
How do I know if I have a Tic Disorder?
If you answer yes to several of the following questions, you may have TS or chronic tic disorder. Please note, however, that only a qualified clinician can provide you with a definitive diagnosis.
* Have you ever had (or do you currently have) facial tics, jerking, or any other unusual body movements? (motor tics)
* Have you ever made (or do you currently make) involuntary noises or grunts? Or do you say words involuntarily? (vocal tics)
* Have you found yourself performing these behaviors several times a day?
* When did you first begin having the tic(s)? Was it before the age or 18 and at least a year ago?
* Has there ever been a period of time when you were tic-free for more than 3 months?
If you would like to learn more about treatment or research options for TS or chronic tic disorder at our clinic, please call 617-726-6766 or go to www.mghocd.org/tics

A tiny scoop in the Zululand Coast, SODWANA BAY is the only breach in an almost flawless strand extending 170km from St Lucia to Kosi Bay. It's the fortuitous convergence of the bay (which makes it easy to launch boats), with the world's southernmost coral reefs that makes Sodwana the most popular base in the country for scuba diving and the most popular KZN Wildlife resort. Because the continental shelf comes extremely close to shore (near-vertical drops are less than 1km away), it offers very deep waters, much loved by anglers who gather here for some of South Africa's best deep-sea game fishing, mostly tag and release. The abundance of game fish also makes for some of the best surf fly-fishing in the country.
When there's no one around, Sodwana Bay is paradise, with tepid waters, terrific sandy beaches, relaxed diving and snorkelling, and plenty of accommodation. Over weekends and during school holidays, however, fashion-conscious Jo'burgers tear down in their 4WDs, while thick-set anglers from Gauteng, Free State and Mpumalanga come here and drink themselves into a stupor. Thankfully, government regulations now limit the number of 4WDs using the beach as a car park. A gentler presence from mid-November to February are the leatherback and loggerhead turtles, who make their way onto Sodwana's beaches to reproduce, as they've been doing for the last 60,000 years.
The national park takes in the bay itself, while the desultory collection of shops and an upmarket lodge that pass for the town are 8km to the west, back along the Mbazwana road.
Diving and snorkelling in Sodwana Bay
Diving and snorkelling in Sodwana Bay
Unless you're a keen angler, the principal reason to come to Sodwana Bay is for the diving off the coral reefs that thrive here in the warm waters carried down the coast by the Agulhas current. The sea is clear, silt-free and perfect for spotting some of the 1200 varieties of fish that inhabit the waters off northern KwaZulu-Natal, making it second only to the Great Barrier Reef in its richness.
The closest reef to the bay, and consequently the most visited, is Two Mile Reef, 2km long and 900m wide, offering excellent dives. Among the others is Five Mile Reef, which is further north and is known for its miniature staghorn corals, while beyond that, Seven Mile Reef is inhabited by large anemone communities and offers protection to turtles and rays, which may be found resting here.
There's excellent snorkelling at Jesser Point, a tiny promontory at the southern end of the bay. Just off here is Quarter Mile Reef, which attracts a wide variety of fish, including moray eels and rays. Low tide is the best time to venture out – a sign on the beach indicates daily tide times. You can buy competitively priced snorkels and masks (or rent them for R30 per day) from the dive shop at Sodwana Bay Lodge. Here you'll also find a dive operation offering various diving courses, diving packages and scuba equipment rental. There is also a dive operator providing similar services at Coral Divers.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered these to go with the same style invitation and response cards (silver version). Very nice quality paper and graphics."
"These place cards had a simple design that nicely matched the invitations of the same style. Good product. I'm very satisfied."
"We wanted place cards to go with our invitations, but there weren't any that matched. We used the Ombre Forest invites and requested that the designers make these place cards match in color and font. The results were great! We also changed the bottom to "Eat and laugh at table __". Everything turned out perfectly!"
"Although the purple and grey is a great color combo, our wedding colors and grey and navy. It was easy to customize to our colors and they turned out great. As always the product arrived on time and looked even better in person. I can't wait to have them on my tables!"
"I love this design and every time I order another piece of stationary for our big day, I fall in love with the design all over again."

'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' takes HCT to new heights
By Daisy Blake
Special to The TribuneFirst published Feb 19 2013 06:43PM
If you don't have tickets to Hale Centre Theatre's "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," go to a computer and book them now. It is truly, madly, deeply and seriously phantasmagorical — which explains why it's also sold out through March 4.
Fortunately, it runs through April 13 and many tickets remain.
When you arrive at the theater, you'll see that the curtain goes around the stage, which means there's an exciting secret about to be unveiled. In this case, it's not only a car that flies, but a show that's close to flawless.
Based on the novel by famed James Bond author and creator Ian Fleming, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" features music and lyrics by the Sherman Brothers (the composers of "Mary Poppins") and a score that includes classics such as "Truly Scrumptious," "Toot Sweets," "Hushabye Mountain" and the Oscar-nominated title song. The original Broadway production received five Tony Award nominations.
The musical, in its first regional production, begins when a race car's career comes to an end with a damaging crash during a Grand Prix race. The car ends up in an old garage, where it is to be sold and melted down to liquid ore. Two young children, Jeremy and Jemima Potts, intercede and beg their inventor father to purchase the car, and the magical adventures begin.
HCT shows are always technically sound, and the actors sing and dance beautifully. What I always hope is that their acting skills give the show a heart, which is happily the case with "Chitty." I became deeply invested in a storyline that was delightfully obscure, at times touching and sporadically so dark that I shivered in my seat.
I saw the Monday, Wednesday, Friday cast, led by David Smith as Caractacus Potts and Megan Lynn Heaps as Truly Scrumptious. Heaps is one of my favorite Hale Center regulars for her natural onstage demeanor. In this production, she is well matched by Smith and the other actors playing the Potts family.
In pure comedy roles, there is the zany pairing of Kyle Olsen as Baron Bomburst and Ali Bennett as Baroness Bomburst, the tyrant rulers of the fictional Vulgaria. These two offered lovely physical comedy and intricate wit achieved with the varying volume and tone of their delivery. Bennett particularly gets a lot of mileage from throw-away lines; I couldn't deduce whether they were scripted or not, but they were hilarious.
I'm incredibly picky when it comes to accents, and in this show, the cast has all of them nailed — except when the children have been banished to the sewers in Vulgaria.
I heard an American accent and an English one. Wouldn't they be Vulgarian, like the Baron and Baroness?
Director John J. Sweeney manages to extract fine performances from his cast while also incorporating the super-technical aspects of the show — which are stunning.
The props and sets come to life and Chitty, the flying car, has her own journey just like a character in the show. It took a team of more than a dozen local artists, craftsmen and technicians months to design and build the re-creation of the iconic car from the 1968 movie. Chitty drives, floats and flies above HCT's moving stage.
The set and props are complemented by the lighting design, which included some special effects I've never seen before — namely when the cannon shots are dense rainbow smoke rings that float across the stage.
The costumes and makeup are a smorgasbord of beauty, opulence and a rather intriguing splash of the sinister, which is definitely suggested by the script.
Worth mentioning were the gorgeous outfits of Truly Scrumptious (I adored her opening driving ensemble) and the Vulgarian ensemble costumes in the Samba scene, in which all the characters looked like various love children of Nicki Minaj and the Mayor of Whoville.
The most wonderful and disturbing outfit, though, was that of the Child Catcher, with a bullet belt of sweets, lollipop ammunition and epaulets on his shiny black coat made of candy ribbon.
Just like the car, this "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is a real winner.

PORTLAND, Ore. — No one dared to say that Derrick Favors' inability to score was a real issue for the Jazz. But as the preseason dragged along, and the third-year power forward consistently failed to find any offensive rhythm, the question lingered.
Would this always persist in his game?
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Before Monday's 120-114 loss to the Blazers in Portland, coach Tyrone Corbin said he was not concerned about Favors' offense.
"He'll score because of his athletic abilities," Corbin said. "We can go to him on quick moves on some. He should be able to run the floor and get some other easy baskets there. So it will be a combination of ways he will score points for us."
While Favors' 12-point performance against the Blazers would hardly qualify as a "breakout" he did show signs of getting more comfortable offensively. In the fourth quarter, he drove baseline on Meyers Leonard for an up-and-under layup.
Favors entered the game averaging 6.6 points per game. He was 4-of-8 from the floor and 4-of-9 from the free throw line - the latter forever an area in which to improve. But Favors was just pleased to see shots go in the basket (it should be noted here, that his first attempts were unsuccessful, including a pair of missed dunks).
"Most of my shots been in and out, so to see some of them go in it felt pretty good," Favors said.

I see that there is a library catalog of log trusses that can be placed into a Chief Architect plan, but how do I create the roof to go over those trusses, complete with purlins, tongue and groove, and rafters?
Before starting work on any drawing, it is important to set up the correct default settings - particularly for the structural aspects of the plan.
The easiest way to set the purlins' heights is in an elevation view.
With trusses and purlins all in place, the roof can be built over them.
If you have trouble viewing the purlins in a cross section view, close the view and select Edit> Preferences from the menu. On the Render panel of the Preferences dialog, uncheck OpenGL Vector View, click OK, and then create a new cross section. When you are finished, be sure to turn this setting on again.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The largest Mega Millions' jackpot in 20 months keeps going up.
It's now at $230 million for Black Friday, after nobody won the top prize Tuesday evening.
Nobody from Wisconsin won the million-dollar second prize. Only five players from around the country matched all the numbers but the Mega Ball to win a million each. One of those was in neighboring Illinois.
Officials did not say how many Wisconsin players won smaller prizes Tuesday night. Almost 21,000 players from the Badger State won something in the previous Mega Millions' drawing last Friday -- but nobody won more than $500.
Tuesday night's numbers were 27, 44, 59, 74, and 75. The Mega Ball was 3, and the Megaplier was 5. Friday night's cash option is just over $125 million.
In Powerball, the jackpot is at $60 million for Wednesday night.
