COLONIE, N.Y. - The Colonie Central High School basketball coach who was arrested by Albany Police for his alleged possession of crack cocaine has had his charge reduced.
James Boland, 55, was charged with possession of crack cocaine on Friday after police say he was arrested on Pieter Schuyler Court in Albany.
According to officials, Boland's felony charged was reduced to a misdemeanor due to the weight of the drugs. Defense counsel requested a month adjournment to get a drug evaluation.
Boland was a long-time assistant for Colonie Central and recently took over the varsity basketball team. He is also a social studies teacher.
Boland has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation and applicable proceedings.

Jhumpa Lahiri
Adult Fiction LAHIRI
Summary: From the internationally best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a superbly crafted new work of fiction: eight stories--longer and more emotionally complex than any she has yet written--that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand as they enter the lives of sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, daughters and sons, friends and lovers. In the stunning title story, Ruma, a young mother in a new city, is visited by her father, who carefully tends the earth of her garden, where he and his grandson form a special bond. But he's harboring a secret from his daughter, a love affair he's keepingnbsp;all to himself. In "A Choice of Accommodations," a husband's attempt to turn an old friend's wedding into a romantic getaway weekend with his wife takes a dark, revealing turn as the party lasts deep into the night. In "Only Goodness," a sister eager to give her younger brother the perfect childhood she never had is overwhelmed by guilt, anguish, and anger when his alcoholism threatens her family. And in "Hema and Kaushik," a trio of linked stories--a luminous, intensely compelling elegy of life, death, love, and fate--we follow the lives of a girl and boy who, one winter, share a house in Massachusetts. They travel from innocence to experience on separate, sometimes painful paths, until destiny brings them together again years later in Rome. Unaccustomed Earth is rich with Jhumpa Lahiri's signature gifts: exquisite prose, emotional wisdom, and subtle renderings of the most intricate workings of the heart and mind. It is a masterful, dazzling work of a writer at the peak of her powers.

Daily Roundup: Groceries, Quicken Hacks, and a Decluttering Trick
Published on - August 31st, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
We've finally got some August-like weather here in Portland; maybe Kris' tomatoes will ripen after all. While we work in the yard and declutter the house, here are some quick-and-easy money articles from around the web:
The DIY Maven at Curbly has 20 tips for shopping at the grocery store. You've heard many of these before, but it never hurts to review. Some of these should be mantras: Make a list! Eat first! Shop the perimeter!
I'm a huge fan of Quicken hacks, those little tricks that make it easier to work with this popular piece of personal finance software. Several months ago, I gathered and posted a collection of my favorites. Macworld has collated their top 10 Quicken tricks. While one is Mac-specific, I believe the others will work on the PC as well.
Finally, a couple of readers pointed out a nice anti-clutter strategy at 43folders. The clever hanger trick (developed by Peter Walsh, the author of It's All Too Much) is a simple but effective way to track which clothes you really wear all the time, and which ought to be purged from your wardrobe.
This article is about Spare Change
I'm a bit confused as to what 'discount stores' are. My toilet paper is pretty cheap at the grocery store already. Does that mean places like Costco? I can't imagine where I'd buy toilet paper cheaper, especially when it is already cheap.
Please do not moan about the weather. Have you any idea what its been like in the UK? First there was the month of continuous rain, then we've had alternating warm and overcast days for the whole of August. I'm still waiting for summer to start and its September tomorrow.
I don't fancy Mr. Walsh's trick at all. My trick? Always put your clothes on the right side of the closet. Push everything to the left, and in 6 months the stuff you don't wear is on the left, and the stuff you do wear is on the right.
The Quicken list is interesting though. I'm going to update my 2005 version with 2008 and I am looking forward to the quick entry widget.
I follow my version of The Rule of Threes – everytime I'm in a room, I have to put away or throw away at least three items before I can leave the room. Of course, what happens most of the time is that I handle MORE than three items – more often five or six.
Don't feel bad plonkee down here in Madrid we have yet to hit a hundred degrees (36 celcius_, been one of coolest August in memory. I have yet to turn on the A/C, last year it we were dying it was so hot
careful with that Quicken auto-reconcile thing. that hosed my account records so badly I had to open a new checking account. it was a few versions ago so maybe it's been fixed, but I reconcile by hand now and forever after that mess.
if I'd had backups it would have been less of a mess; I now back up to two disks every night w/SuperDuper (in case one of my backup disks goes blooey, and all hard disks crash n burn at some point; it's just a matter of when).
Just a quick note on the toilet paper issue. It's not cost per roll, it's cost per sheet you need to focus on, Costco did indeed have the cheapest price in Calgary. Because I no longer drive, and the only things I really wanted from there was romaine lettuce and toilet paper, I hit Superstore for the 30 roll pack of Scott 500 sheet. I haven't crunched the numbers lately but I still think it's the best deal on a daily necessity!

It seems like such a simple question and yet time after time people all over the world still get it embarrassingly wrong. You know what I mean: most of us have been there. You've been 'seeing someone' sometimes you call them dates other times they're just meet ups (depending on how keen you are on the other person.) Heck, sometimes they're just plain as day hook ups. The point is most people have experienced a situation whereby they've been regularly meeting up with someone (whether you have had sex or not is almost irrelevant)… but for some reason you're not an actual 'couple' - certainly not officially.
So you're left thinking, "What is this!?"
I watched a video recently which aside from being brialliantly directed and choreographed was very well researched and informative to watch. It was a video that reeled off statistics (collected from various dating websites) about the behaviour of online daters. Now, I'm not just going to regurgitate what was in the video to fill out a blog post. No, I want to give my personal opinion (as an avid online dater) specifically on what online dating/dating is really like for an Asian female (i.e. me.)

If you haven't watched Game of Thrones then ignore this entire blog post because won't really get it. Also if you've not watched GoT then you need to rectify that because it's brilliant. Even if you aren't into the fantasy genre it's worth watching because if you boil it down to its very essence GoT is essentially a political drama. One of my past ex's hated the whole fantasy genre (a fact he kept pushing on me which contributed to our inevitable break up) but I convinced him to sit down and watch a few episodes of GoT with me – after the second one he was hooked.
So a friend of mine recently accused me of being less of a feminist than he was (the fact that he has a penis means nothing in this context.) The accusation came after we exchanged examples of illustration styles that we liked. His tastes are very different from mine, which lean more towards artists such as, Hyung-Tae-Kim and Masamune Shirow. At the time I didn't think much of it, however it slowly formed in my mind: I consider myself to be a feminist. Not the Germaine Greer "burning bra" type, but a modern 21st century "equality for women" type. However, how can I call myself a modern feminist if I subconsciously enjoy imagery of unrealistic and overly sexualised women?

Going on holiday is always exciting. Because if you're anything like me, then it normally requires an intense shopping session beforehand which always sees you buying a new bikini or two (as well as some other exciting purchases!) However there are some less exciting (but equally important) things you need to remember to pack, or they'll cost you a fortune to replace when you're away!
So what are they and why is it such a pain when you forget them? Well everybody's list if different but below is a list of things that I find crucial to take when going abroad…
When my (now ex) boyfriend Rob suggested a holiday to Morocco (Marrakesh) I was not overly keen on the idea. Mainly because most Moroccan's insist on putting fruit in almost everything they cook and I hate cooked fruit - particularly dry and preserved fruit. So naturally I assumed I was going to starve or end up eating plain couscous or bananas for the entire holiday. However, I eventually realised that I was being a bit dramatic. So I swallowed my apprehension and sat down with him to book it.

Other than being accused of being a hipster and a geek, I've also been labelled as a Goth by a few people which I find rib shatteringly hilarious - because I wear a lot of black. I wear it mainly because it's easier to bung everything in the same wash cycle and stains aren't has prominent on black clothing than say… white. Not that I'm particularly messy eater or clumsy for that matter, it's just something that has always stuck with me. I also have a penchant for the more tasteful macabre things in life. This combination has pretty much led me to be draped and dressed in black most days of the year – regardless of the season and a lot of people don't get it.
When it comes to fashion labels I don't really have a lot of loyalty but I do love Chanel. I have since I was a little girl (my first Chanel item was a beach towel when I was 11 – an extravagant gift from my mother.) I also love Vivienne Westwood with her punk influences and beautifully constructed dresses. However, as much as I love Karl and Viv, there is one designer who had my love faster than you could say haute couture. Well… I suppose I should say haute macabre because the designer in questions is none other than the irreplaceable Alexander McQueen – heaven rest his brilliant soul.

I spend a lot of time moaning about things that have gone wrong and things that I don't have. I know this. It's one of the reasons I get people reading my blog. It's what I call 'car crash' reading. It's bitchy, wickedly destructive, and yet strangely satisfying (well it certainly is for me, whether or not anyone else enjoys reading my words is another matter.) It's how some bloggers made it big in the beginning (Perez Hilton, Bryan Boy, etc.) and whilst bitchy writing will always have its place, it does get tiresome and even the bitchiest person will sometimes need a break from it every now and again.
On the weekend I was given the rare opportunity to deep dive into the Tinder account of a heterosexual man, and it was certainly an amusing experience - one that shed light on the shady usage of Tinder. Not that the generous guy in question is a shady character, on the contrary, he's a true upstanding gent, and brave one at that for giving me access to his account (and all his 156 matches!) Not that I messaged any of them, I just looked and laughed (mainly at his flirting attempts but at some of theirs as well.) I also passed bitchy judgement on some of them and gently teased him for his poor taste in women. Catty and bitchy I know but my name is Cat and you're currently on a website called The Bitch Blogs. So…yeah… are you really surprised?

Long's two-out home run off a high breaking ball by Las Vegas pitcher Rob Carson gave Salt Lake a 4-3 victory over the 51s in Game 1 of the Pacific Coast League playoffs Wednesday at Spring Mobile Ballpark.
The Bees rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to stun Las Vegas, which had won 21 of its final 31 games during the regular season.
Meanwhile, Salt Lake entered its first postseason series since 2008 after losing 12 of its final 16 games.
Long's 325-foot homer dropped just over the right field fence — just inside the foul pole — and gave the Bees a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series.
"I've faced Carson a lot and those guys throw a lot of breaking balls, especially to lefties," said Long. "So I was going up there looking for one up and got it.
"I didn't really get it all. I just hit it to the right part of the yard — in the corner, down the line where it gets short. It was good placement, if anything."
Las Vegas manager Wally Backman just shook his head.
"You've got to tip your hat to Long," he said. "It was a slider that was up. ... You don't want to get beat on the pull side late in the game, but he wrapped it around that foul pole."
The Bees trailed all the way, until Scott Cousins' two-out single off Carson in the bottom of the eighth made it 3-3, setting the stage for Long.
"It's fitting," said Salt Lake manager Keith Johnson. "That's the way we played all year. We just grind it out."
According to Backman, another bad pitch against Cousins hurt Las Vegas.
"We had the right match-ups — the match-ups we wanted," he said. "... With Cousins coming to bat, I wasn't too concerned. We know what kind of hitter he is and he looked bad on breaking balls. But then we throw him a fastball.
Johnson praised the effort of Salt Lake's pitchers, including starter Matt Shoemaker, who gave up four hits and walked three batters in the first three innings but kept the Bees in the game.
Salt Lake relievers Dustin Richardson, Jeremy Berg and Daniel Stange allowed only one hit over the final three innings.
Shoemaker "... found a way to get through six innings us us," Johnson said. "He didn't necessarily have his best stuff but he made pitches when he had to. And our bullpen did a great job — just went after guys and got the outs we needed."
Backman used five pitchers in the final three innings behind starter Matt Fox, but the 51s' bullpen could not hold the lead.

|Cause of inmate's death still unknown
|Written by Sarah Minges
|Tuesday, October 30, 2012 8:45 PM
As of Monday morning, Oct. 29, the cause of death for Robert Settle, Harrison, was yet to be determined, according to Terry Daly, communications officer for the Hamilton County Corner.
Settle was slated to begin trial Tuesday, Oct. 23, for charges stemming from a stand-off with police last year.
After jury selection on Monday, Oct. 22, Settle was transported from the Hamilton County Justice Center to the hospital where he died the following day.
On the evening of Sunday, Sept. 25, 2011 Harrison police entered Robert Settle's Shaker Point Apartment home to investigate a shooting and possible suicide attempt.
Settle fired at officers and the Hamilton County SWAT was called in.
A three-hour stand-off ensued and Interstate 74 was shut down.
During the stand-off, it was estimated Settle shot 15-20 rounds at police officers and also shot himself in the shoulder.
Settle had multiple medical issues and cause of death was not anticipated to be of criminal nature.

A 6-month-old stray male kitten was a little too "head strong" in his attempt to find his supper. While working on finding his next meal, he discovered a can of Campbell's soup and helped himself to the leftovers. In the process of dining, however, he ended up getting himself "canned," with his head stuck in the can.
The kitten, now named "Campbell," was brought in by Metro Animal Services (MAS) animal control officer Raymond Thomas, and immediately taken to the vet staff. An initial attempt was made by veterinary assistant Brenda Keel to remove the can, but Campbell started crying. He was sedated and a pair of bolt cutters were used to cut the can off of his head.
Because of being in cold temperatures for an extended period of time and his inability to move, Campbell was hypothermic. He received the necessary medical attention to stabilize his condition.
"Our staff did a great job rescuing this little guy from what could have been a 'can-tastrophe'," said Jackie Gulbe, Animal Services assistant director for community relations. "He is a friendly, sweet boy who is available for adoption at the Animal House Adoption Center."

The procession of glowing red mountains at Flinders Ranges National Park (vehicle entry fee $8.50), folded and crumpled with age, produces some of the Outback's most spectacular and timeless scenery, rising from flat scrub to form abrupt escarpments, gorges and the famous elevated basin of Wilpena Pound, a colossal crater rim rising from the plains. The contrast between sky and ranges is softened by native cypresses and river red gums, and in spring the land is burnished by wild flowers of all colours and there are more kangaroos than you can count. Bushwalkers, photographers and painters flock here in their hundreds, but with a system of graded walking tracks ranging in length from a few minutes to several days – not to mention roads of varying quality – the park is busy without being crowded. Most tracks lead into Wilpena Pound, though you can also pick up the Heysen Trail and follow it north from Wilpena for a couple of days around the ABC Range to Aroona Ruins on the northern edge of the park. Nestling up against the edge of Wilpena Pound, WILPENA is a good place to orient yourself for a range of accommodation, fuel and food.Read More
Wilpena Pound
Wilpena Pound
Wilpena Pound's two main walks are the Hill's Homestead Walk (6.6km, 2hr) from the visitor centre, and the Wangara Lookout Walk (7.8km, 3hr). Consult the visitor centre before attempting the less publicized full-day hikes to St Mary's Peak on the rim, and Edowie Gorge inside the pound, or any overnight trips. The walk to Hill's Homestead across the pound's flat, grassy bowl takes you to the remains of evidence of the region's unsuitability for farming. From here you can follow the track northwest to Cooinda Camp, about four hours from Wilpena. Assuming you left early, there should be time to pitch a tent and spend the rest of the day following the creek upstream past Malloga Falls to Glenora Falls (generally flowing May–Sept) and views into Edowie Gorge before returning to Cooinda. Next morning, you could do the steep climb to Tanderra Saddle below the peak, followed by the last burst up to the summit of St Mary's Peak itself. The effort is rewarded by unequalled views west to Lake Torrens and north along the length of the ABC Ranges towards Parachilna; on exceptional mornings the peak stands proud of low cloud inside the pound. The direct descent from the saddle back to Wilpena is initially steep, but shouldn't take more than four hours. Shorter routes from Wilpena lead up Mount Ohlssen Bagge (4hr) and Wangara Lookout (3hr) for lower vistas of the pound floor, and southwest across the pound to Bridle Gap (6hr) following the Heysen Trail's red markers. Things to look out for are wallabies, emus and parrots inside the pound, and cauliflower-shaped fossil stromatolites – algal corals – on the Mount Ohlssen Bagge route, similar to those still living at Hamelin Pool in Western Australia.
Flinders Dreaming and geology
Flinders Dreaming and geology
The almost tangible spirit of the Flinders Ranges is reflected in the wealth of Adnyamathanha ("hill people") legends associated with them. Perhaps more obvious here than anywhere else in Australia is the connection between landscapes and Dreamtime stories, which recount how scenery was created by animal or human action – though, as Dreamtime spirits took several forms, this distinction is often blurred. A central character is Akurra, a gigantic serpent (or serpents) who guards waterholes and formed the Flinders' contours by wriggling north to drink dry the huge salt lakes of Frome and Callabonna. You may well prefer the Aboriginal legends to the complexities of geology illustrated on boards placed at intervals along the Brachina Gorge track, which explain how movements of the "Adelaide Geosyncline" brought about the changes in scenery over hundreds of millions of years.

Ned Yost - Fired?
Rumor has it that Ned Yost has been let go by the Brewers. This is heartbreaking, because Yost in the dugout was a decisive advantage for the Cubs.
We'll post a link to the story once it's been verified by the mass media.
I guess I should have checked the reader blogs before posting. Well, it's such a sad occasion it deserves double coverage.
Jeeez. Not suprised though,
Jeeez. Not suprised though, this move should have happened earlier in the season i thought when they were totally under achieving and then maybe they wouldn't needed to send half of their prospects to Cleveland to get CC Sabathia. From August 1st til the end of the season, statisticly, the Brewers had the easiest schedule in the NL. It's no suprise they jumped back into the race by playing the weaker opponents, but they are now 7.5 back and tied with Philly for the wildcard. They are in big trouble, not only for this season but future too. They could lose both Sabathia and Sheets this winter.
Not your fault, Jason. Kevin
Not your fault, Jason. Kevin thinks I'm crazy, but my basic take is that if I'm writing a post that's very short, I'm going to do it as a reader blog ... at least, up until everybody else is using the reader blogs often.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Bridge collapse dominates front-page news
The collapse of a busy bridge spanning the Mississippi River in Minneapolis during rush hour yesterday dominated front pages across the U.S. today.
Minneapolis' own Star Tribune chose the headline "Buckling and Swaying, Then 'Down, Down, Down.' " The paper also had a story about the bridge's rating of "structurally deficient" in 2005. Pioneer Press out of the other Twin City, St. Paul, Minn., used a quote headline that stated,'I Heard it Crack.' " Other quote headlines included, " 'It Just Totally Collapsed,' " from Link (Hampton Roads, Va.), and The Salinas Californian's " 'We were dropping, dropping, dropping.' "
Another home-state paper, the St. Cloud (Minn.) Times, called the collapse "Rush Hour Horror" and recounted the story of a local professor who was in the area when the bridge collapsed. Oklahoma City's The Oklahoman had an onomatopoeic headline: "Boom, Boom, Boom" and had a front-page story about this tragedy evoking memories of a bridge collapse in Oklahoma in 2002.
In large paper coverage, The Houston Chronicle showed more of the horrific pictures and told of "Death, Chaos" at the scene. Also, the paper had a story of a Houston family that plunged "50 feet" off the bridge. The Intelligencer (Doylestown, Pa.) also gave a survival story front-page prominence.
The Wichita (Kan.) Eagle showed the disaster pictorally with four large photos on the front page with the headline "Fatal Collapse." Fargo, N.D.'s The Forum told the story of local rescue workers who were headed to Minneapolis to aid the recovery effort.
The story was even front-page news in some international papers, from Brisbane, Australia's The Courier Mail to Amsterdam, Netherlands' Het Parool and beyond. See the Newseum's front pages gallery for more coverage of this nightmare collapse.
Emily Hedges is an assistant editor at the Newseum.

Earth Laughs in Flowers
So assignment 3 on colour is in—done and dusted—in my tutor's hands. Relief that I had submitted before I saw this post on Wicked Halo. It would have had me rethinking my whole approach! Together with a series of still-life arrangements reflecting the cycle of life, David LaChapelle has done the seasons—in a fabulous, intricate, colourful way that so appeals. [All images via Wicked Halo]
Painterly effect in some—similar feel to Lynn Collin's Trespasser series, although much more vivid. Strong colour is part of LaChapelle's style—in the images I have seen anyway. Inclusion of pop-culture junk allows him to pass comment on society. His images say something—ultimately I would like my images to do so too. I like the concept of still-life, and there seems to be a swing back to it at the moment—series of articles in March BJP—"Art as Object'.
Going to make my first little attempt at basic still-life and story-telling in assignment 4—but much more to come slowly over my studies—not going to take on too much in my first attempt especially since the experience of assignment 3 still lingers. So they will be nothing like this at all—just one doll and a few props! And maybe some smoke too!Read More »

Children from all over the United States are turning to travel or club teams in hopes of fulfilling a dream to earn a scholarship and play in college.
Recent statistics indicate a surge in the popularity of travel/club sports with an estimated growth rate of more than 3000% over the past five years.
The reason for the soaring number of travel teams in baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, and swimming varies.
Better competition means showcase events that ultimately bring college coaches looking to recruit players.
And getting a college scholarship is what the young athletes are dreaming of.
You'll usually receive top notch coaching against top quality competition, and a club that has developed relationships with college coaches - and that opens the door for a potential recruit.
Its a responsibility the club teams, with the right reputation amongst colleges or universities, share with the families of the athletes.
In turn college coaches take advantage of seeing athletes compete in showcase events against quality opponents.
Just because a family or athlete chooses to go the route of travel sports, it doesn't guarantee a shot of competing at the college level. Athletes have to work hard and commit to a higher standard of play.
And as far as the family goes, sacrifices are made in more ways than one.
And financially the dollar amounts are staggering. Fees to be a member of a team or club are usually ten times the amount of community sports.
It's an investment in a child's future that could pay off big time considering the price of tuition and board at a college or university.

"I Don't Care How She Does It"
I came across a recent article written by Olivia Munn in the October 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan that caught my attention just by the title alone: "I Don't Care How She Does It". Before even diving into the introduction, as a woman, you could already get a feel of what you're about to engage in; and sure enough, as I read throughout her 2-page spread, I've come to grow fonder of her. This ultimately quirky woman's "Words of Wisdom" were not only very relatable but it shed the perfect amount of humor with it.(The last topic being one of my favorites). Overall, she knows she'll never be like every other Hollywood Glamour infesting the streets of LA, and considers herself more of a Hollywood Geek - who doesn't compare herself to other women and is perfectly happy with who she is. Enjoy.
If you put anxiety on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 would be your entire family trapped in a house, burning alive. Now, most people live their life at anxiety-level 1. I comfortably hover around anxiety-level 8…daily.
I always knew I wasn't normal. Not in a good way - like every time I eat carbs, a unicorn poops a rainbow…which, by the way, would be so awesome - but in the way that made me ruin opportunities and relationships.
Because I have a lot of anxiety, I'm not the type to sit around and wait for doors to open. I'm a go-getter. I used to concentrate my energy on the wrong things, like comparing myself to others, which inevitably led to my own demise. Over time, I've learned that it's more useful for me to redirect my focus. I can only give you advice that's worked for me. So here are a few ideas that have helped me live the life I was meant to live.
You Don't Need Their Light
There will always be someone smarter, taller, or prettier than you are. And there will always be someone dumber, shorter, or uglier than you are. It's completely useless to compare yourself to other people.
I personally don't compare myself to others. Some people have a bright light, and it's easy to be attracted to it. But I don't need anyone's light to shine my way.
I know the person I want to be, and that's the only thing I compare myself to. For instance, I try not to take anything for granted, try not to be a hater, try to live my life with good intentions…If I can do that, then really, I've won no matter what happens.
Live the Life You'd Be Envious of If You Saw Someone Else Living It
This is my personal mantra. Whenever I'm going through a difficult time, like a breakup, and I'm wishing to be the person who could get over it and move on, I tell myself just to be that person. Instead of waiting to be inspired by someone else and being jealous that they're living a life I wish I had, I tell myself not to wait for that moment and to start being the person I want to be.
If you wish you were the woman who went for that big promotion, learned a second language, dumped that guy who cheated on you, then just be that person. Think If I have the energy to wish for it, I have the energy to do it.
If You Don't Know Your Worth, How Will Anyone Else?
At an audition in 2006, I made a decision that changed the course of my life. As actors, we often go into auditions with the mentality of "Just tell me how you want me to do this. Whatever you want, just give me the part." But then I've lost the one thing I have that no one else has: myself - my history, my sense of humor, my cadence. If I lose that, what's left to set me apart?
I told myself to do the audition just the way I would do it to without any fear or need to please. If it didn't work, I wouldn't do it again. But why not try? It's not like the other way had been working so great. That audition was for my career-changing job at G4. And once I saw that it worked, I never went back.
I learned that I couldn't determine my worth based on what job I get or guy I date. I have to know my worth without the outside affirmations. How will the world know you're worth it if you don't?
Realize When You're the Bitch
Do you want your daughter to grow up to be smart and beautiful, or do you want her to be smart and ugly? Because clearly, you can't have both. Well, as much as some people want to believe that and have put me in the center of such a debate, I just won't subscribe to that antiquated notion. One reason I think stereotypes are perpetuated is because they make people feel comfortable…especially the ones women give themselves.
When women tear down other women, we're creating ceilings where they don't need to be. There are enough elements in this world trying to stifle our growth as females that adding to it is simply self-destructive.
I grew up with a stepfather telling me I wasn't smart enough or pretty enough to accomplish my dreams. I was reaching for the stars, and he detested me for daring to reach that high. I remember at 8 years old thinking to myself, Just because you couldn't make your dreams come true, doesn't mean I'm not allowed to go for mine.
The energy it takes to hate someone takes away from the time you could be building yourself up. Maybe the thought is that with the competition dead, by default your mediocrity will have to be good enough and, in turn, you win…With that kind of mentality, I guarantee you that you'll never win.
Love Getting Older…Because Really, What's the Alternative?
I co-hosted The Today Show with Hoda a few months ago, and she asked me my age on live television - a big no-no in life and an even bigger one on national television. But I don't think women should be ashamed about their age. That anxiety is wasted energy. I can't control the day I was born. All I can do is take care of myself - take care of my body, skin, mind. The generation of actresses like Jennifer Aniston, Leslie Mann, and Halle Berry gives aging a pretty fucking sexy appeal. If I stop having birthdays, stop getting older…well, I guess that means I'm dead. And if getting older is part of the game I signed up for, then I have no problem telling you I'm 31. How old are you?

"Tacky, tacky, tacky. Not to mention tacky." -
"The most important "asset" is the well-being of one's family, not material objects. Find a way to protect your life and that of your family - things are just things to which we give artificial meaning. The homeowners are very very lucky to be alive. When intruders enter a home they know is occupied they usually enter with weapons and are not afraid to use them. The lesson here is not a "stuff" but about our own vulnerability." -
"With all due respect to the family as this is a terrible thing to happen, I don't know if "tragic" is the operative word. A poor choice of action and I wonder if alcohol was involved. You'd have to go headfirst for it to be fatal." -
"No matter the intent or the circumstances, it is truly tragic whenever a life is lost- life is a most precious gift. It is most tragic for the family that is left to deal with it. My condolences and prayers go to the family." -
"Surely, there must be a way. For goodness sakes, NYC manages to have safe bus stops amidst much more feverish car and pedestrian traffic, and last I checked, there weren't 8 million people living in Shelton. :)" -
"How can the price of gas "keep rising" if it is lower than it was a year ago. In fact, the price of gasoline fluctuates with the price of oil, which fluctuates with supply and demand. As the economic outlook is brighter, the price of oil goes up, assuming greater future demand." -
"Yeh, lets all go to a town meeting and when our half brain dead town officials get through telling each other how great they are then lets schedule another meeting to waste more time and accomplish nothing. It's a pool FIX IT! Where is the leadership from First Selectman Vavrek that we were all were promised. Is he lost in the deep end, that is over his head again?" -
"If that's the case...why are there so many shootings in New Haven, Bridgeport & Hartford? DeStefano said the murder rate went down. But he didn't admit the shootings have gone up. There's more woundings because the gangs can't shoot straight! The answer..Parent/s: heads up! tighten your controls on your children! Leave the 2nd ammendment alone." -

Suzi's Blog
Oktoberfest at Cooking by the Book: This Friday!
This Friday will be Round 2 for Small Bites Big Sips, the new cooking classes here at Cooking by the Book. We've had many requests for classes open to the public and Small Bites Big Sips is our response. Uniquely, in these classes we start with the beverage and then find the foods that best complement those liquids.
Last week, we did four delicious wines from Paumanok Winery on Long Island. This Friday, with September already half gone, it's time for Oktoberfest.
This Friday at 6:30 PM beer expert Tom Gelinne will feature a tasting of four outstanding German beers typical of Oktoberfest. We'll sample the beers while Tom provides beer knowledge and some Oktoberfest history. Tom's beer discussion with go from dark to light beers and what makes each one distinctive.
Tom will discuss beer quality, including the hops and grains used, the fermentation styles and the very distinctive tastes of combination creates for you.
Then you'll take a tour, not of Germany, but our showroom kitchen. You'll get a demonstration about to how to make the very best pretzels you have ever had in your life. Suzen has conducted serious R&D here, along with testing and tasting, to get you just the perfect pretzel.
You'll return to the dining area for more beer and a tasting of four wonderful dishes:
- Those homemade pretzels you just saw demoed
- Beer soaked bratwurst
- Spicy beer mustard for those pretzels and brats
- Linzer tart [traditional, perfect and containing absolutely no beer!]
As with the wines, you'll be amazed at how differently each of the four beers now taste when complemented with food. Your personal favorites might just change. And you will truly experience the power of pairing food and beverage.
If you are a beer lover or a curious foodie, we hope you can join us. If you would like to register for the class, please go to
If you can't come, please consider this idea for one of your fall parties. It's a great way to add some flavor to a weekend afternoon where some football fanatics need to cheer a victory or cry in their beer. Let's make that good beer.
A Haiku for Autumn
That picture? It's a photo haiku. A short reminder of where we are. Summer is rapidly slipping into fall. I found these red leaves on the ground one morning. I looked up to see what tree they had come from. No tree had red at all. These portents of autumn had turned red and fallen overnight.
Soon though, the trees will be blustering red and orange and brown. Each day will have changes that appear right before our eyes. And with those visual changes, our food opportunities change too. Each week the apples will be different, the corn not at all the same as the week before.
This weekend, tomorrow, I start giving you a round of early fall recipes. A cold drink for warm days. Some warm syrups for cold mornings, syrups to put on special pancakes and waffles.
That strip of green in the picture? It's a fragment of corn husk. One day old, and velvety to the touch. I'm just like you. I strip the husk off the corn and toss it away. It's only by accident that this piece was lying around and I was able to touch it and realize how lovely a leftover could be.
As the days go by and we see all the changes about us, just pause for a moment. Or an hour. Let autumn fill your eyes and your nostrils.
And, get ready for some fall cooking!

As London prepares for another display of British pageantry and good humor to match the unlikely triumph of last month's rain-sodden Royal Jubilee, a less impressive aspect of Britain's stoical "stiff upper lip" may detract from the national pride associated with hosting the Olympics. In the global race out of recession, Britain has just been revealed as a prime contender for the wooden spoon.
Not only was the shocking drop of 0.7 percent in Britain's second-quarter GDP reported on Wednesday much bigger than investors and independent economists had expected but it almost matched the 0.8 percent fall in Italy's GDP the previous quarter. And that Italian drop holds the record for the biggest quarterly contraction suffered by any G7 country since the immediate aftermath of the Lehman crisis. Much more important than such statistical trivia is the fact that Britain's economic output is still 4.5 percent below the peak level it reached in the first quarter of 2008, more than four years ago. The U.S. and German economies, by contrast, are now significantly bigger than they were before the crisis and, in this sense at least, have left the recession behind them. And even the euro zone as a whole, despite the severity of its financial crisis, has done much better than Britain, with GDP just 2 percent below its peak in 2008.
National economic performance is not, of course, a competitive Olympic sport, and there is more to economic success than GDP growth. Still, there is a good reason for connecting the Olympics with economics: International competitions and comparisons can teach useful lessons and create incentives to improve economic management.
The most instructive international comparison at present is between the British and American efforts to clamber out of recession and financial crisis. This race is about as close as economics can get to a controlled experiment of the kind favored by natural scientists, in which sharply different policies are applied to two countries with broadly similar structures and initial conditions, facing similar economic problems.
In 2008, the U.S. and Britain were two advanced economies with large financial sectors, dangerous housing bubbles, heavy consumer debt and similar government deficits and debt levels relative to GDP. Both suffered extremely severe banking crises that forced their governments to take on huge additional liabilities by guaranteeing their biggest banks. For two years after the Lehman crisis in September 2008, the two economies followed broadly similar policies: slashing interest rates to zero, allowing large expansions of their budget deficits and financing the resulting debt with newly printed money. The two economies moved closely in tandem, as economic theory would have predicted: both on the way down until mid-2009 and then on the way up until mid-2010.

It's time for New Zealand winemakers to put their vintages where their sales pitches are with the announcement of the second annual Spiegelau International Wine Competition.
The Marlborough-based competition, which is now open for entries, attracted more than 1,100 New Zealand and international wines last year.
The competition features high profile judges from the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
The Chief Judge is Mike DeGaris of Sydney and the judging panel includes Melbourne author, wine writer and Cuisine Magazine contributor, Ralph Kyte-Powell and Pernod-Ricard's London-based Global Director of Wine, Adrian Atkinson.
New Zealand judges include writer Jane Skilton, winemaking consultant Olly Masters, Simon Nunns from Coopers Creek and Warren Gibson of Trinity Hill.
Competition director, Belinda Jackson says the Spiegelau International Wine Competition expects to attract around 1200 wines from all over the world this year.
"We had exceptional feedback from our inaugural event and the wine fraternity grapevine being what it is we expect very good support again this year," she said.
Ms Jacksonsaid the competition offered benefits to both wine producers and consumers.
"Brands obtain significant promotional opportunities within the industry and among media while consumers get a valuable, independent benchmark by which to judge their favourite wines or to seek out new ones.
"And for those who are less confident, it's a good independent reference point when faced by a huge wall of wines in-store."
Gold medal and trophy-winning wines will be available for tasting in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch during October.

Quick Overview
Diablo Blend by local favorite Caffe Ladro may sound scary and intimidating, the "Devil" Blend, but if you like it big and bold then this is your new brew. If you are transitioning from large commercial coffee conglomerates who notoriously burn their beans then this carefully prepared Dark Roast is a great selection.
- 12 ounce bag, Premium Whole Bean Coffee
- Roasted Fresh in Seattle
|How Does it Compare?
Upfront and in-your-face flavors announced on the bag of 'Tobacco Leaf, Brown Sugar and Dark Chocolate' were present. This strong Fair Trade and Organic Certified Dark Roast has a big-body and that's the way we like it! If you like Middle Fork Roasters Tough As Nails Blend then put this in your pipe and smoke it. Or actually, put this in your Bonavita and brew it! Sometimes roasters go crazy trying to make coffee that is dark as night but it turns out to taste like motor oil and look like worcestershire sauce. This is an example of restraint. Sure Caffe Ladro made it big and bold, but it is also good to the last drop.
|Tips and Tricks
The SCG Crew supports coffee experimentation. We have tried mixing Caffe Ladro 75% Diablo Blend with 25% Fremont Blend for a special little in-house brew we like to call 'Devilment.' Your proportions may vary!

Coffee 101: It Starts with Great Coffee
Like licking an ashtrayReview by Gary
Price Value Quality
When they say notes of tobacco they greatly underestimate its punch. After drinking several cups, I could not get the flavor out of my mouth for the entire day. It felt like I had smoked a pack of cigarettes for breakfast. If you are a nonsmoker, this blend is NOT for you. After one brew, my beans found their way into the garbage can.
Caution: For smokers only!!

I received Ladro Diablo whole beans as a lovely gift from Seattle Coffee Gear when I ordered my Frieling French Press and Baratza Preciso Burr Grinder. Oh my, is this coffee delicious using my new equipment. I savor every sip. I will be ordering more in the future.

I much prefer Kickapoo to these. I found the shots quite bitter even when properly temperature surfing and pulling a 24-27 (I prefer 27). It's alright and I think I would have loved it via french press.

Free gift with my purchase from SCGReview by Frosty
Price Value Quality
As soon as I received my Frieling French Press and Baratza Preciso Grinder, I brewed up a pot of coffee using the Diablo Blend from Ladro. I could taste all three notes, tobacco leaf being the last. This coffee has a smooth, bold flavor that is pleasing to my palate.
Next month I will be vacationing in Washington with plans of visiting SCG and Ladro Coffee Cafe to purchase more of their coffee.
Thanks for the delicious gift!

Got it free with espresso machine.Review by Rain
Price Value Quality
Very good, bold, but smooth flavor. I got this free with my CC1 machine and am very pleased. I used it to practice pulling shots on my new machine and really enjoyed the flavor. I really dislike "nutty" notes in my espresso and this was free of them. I love a dark roast with this much restraint. I honestly would have pegged it as an extra dark roast if I hadn't been told it was. The tobacco note is delicious to my palate! Goes great with milk! I wouldn't have purchased it on my own so I'm glad I got it as a gift. Will repurchase!

text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) A nursing director is charged with selling prescription drugs from her office. Federal prosecutors say 40 year old Catherine Vitello sold un-used prescription drugs from her office at the St. Catherine Laboure Health Care Center. These controlled substances included hydrocodone, fentanyl, oxycontin, morphine, and clonazepam. US Attorney says Vitello made two such sales to an undercover DEA agent. "Today's charges involve a health care professional who, instead of being a healer, acted as a drug dealer," said U.S. Attorney Hochul. "Just last week, a jury convicted a local physician of writing over 10,000 illegal prescriptions. Prescription drug abuse is an epidemic in this country and we will continue to do our part to prosecute those who contribute to that epidemic." DEA Special Agent in Charge Crowell stated, "Over the past five years, emergency room visits involving the misuse or abuse of pharmaceutical drugs have doubled. Today's arrests focused on a pharmaceutical drug dealer who led a double life disguised as the Director of Nursing at St. Catherine Laboure Health Care Center. Supplying unused prescription drugs from her office, Catherine Vitello fueled the drug threat to our community and profited over $60,000 in the last year. We allege she distributed diverted prescription drugs on the streets of Buffalo with no concern for public health." Vitello faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Panoramic Interests
375 units of these apartments will be built to help deal with the affordable housing crisis in San Francisco, where the average studio currently rents for $2,000 a month.
The new micro-apartments would rent for $1,200 to $1,500 a month, considerably less.
At that size and price point, these apartments are made for young, single professionals who are in the city purely to work.
But not everyone is happy with the new apartments.
According to the LA Times, tenants' rights advocates feel that tiny pads are not doing anything "to ease the strain on families and would push the city further down the road as a playground for young singles."
And Supervisor David Campos told The AP, " Even though they do maximize their use of the space, you are still talking about very small units being very expensive. If these places that are 200 square feet are going for $1,500, what is that going to do to the rest of housing prices in San Francisco?"
But Scott Wiener, another supervisor, supported the plan, telling The LA Times: "Family-sized housing is important, and its development should be encouraged. But many — including seniors, students and transition-age youth — do not need as much space or cannot afford it. These units will be a viable alternative."
At those price points and sizes, and with a two-person limit, it sounds like anyone hoping to live in a micro-apartment will have to be rich and single.
The tiny apartments are also popping up in cities such as New York City, London, Warsaw, and Dongguan, China.

It has taken me quite a while to get back into the blogging routine – with two new jobs starting, I have hardly had time to think about anything apart from the classes the next day, which footballer is going where and sleep. But just before my birthday, as I prepared for a girls trip to Budapest to celebrate with a fellow June 27th-er and began my first week teaching at separate companies along with my journalism job, I came up with an ambitious plan to spend a weekend in Austria with my boyfriend.
To start with we found a fantastic campsite on the edge of a lake that looked absolutely perfect; and only 3 or so hours away from Stuttgart. But as the weekend drew closer, the weather was sending out serious warning signs and the forecast wasn't in our favour. Our tent was supposed to be waterproof, but I wasn't 100% trusting of ebay's guarantee, so I searched the entire southern region of Germany, the north of Switzerland, the east of France and the west of Austria, going all the way up to Czech Republic, for somewhere, anywhere!, that gave us hope of a sunny day.
And of all the places Chiemsee appeared to be the kindest weather-wise. In worst case scenario we figured we could visit Ludwig's palace on the Herr Island and drive home early if our tent rained on us. So we drove to Bayern, hoped for the best and insisted we would have fun no matter what happened.
The rain came, but not as much as we had expected. It was just enough to spend a day in the palace, which was well worth it, and otherwise we were able to grill, relax on the lake and explore the area without much bother and only the occasional usage of an umbrella. Chiemsee surprised me – my research had failed to bring up the blue and picturesque scenery many of Austria's lakes seemed to easily produce – but in real life it was just as amazing as any idyllic European getaway. Walking around the lake, there were beach bars and I felt like I could well have been at any beach getaway.
The palace was equally stunning, with Ludwig spending more on it than his other two castles combined. He ran the country broke in the process and died under suspicious circumstances thereafter, and while this palace is still unfinished the rooms he did complete are exquisite. The only downside was not being able to take pictures, which we ignored until RZ was caught and called out by the tour guide ;).
Nights spent grilling and making punch with vodka and lemons made for a fantastic camping experience. The people nearby were too happy to help with the little things we forgot and strawberries with melted chocolate one night for dessert topped off a perfect pre-birthday weekend for me.
On the final day we headed for one of the ski mountains, which had cable cars open for hikers and people looking to enjoy the sky-high views in the summer. We arrived feeling somewhat underdressed in our singlets while everyone had ski jackets on, and when we got to the top we realised why, as the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. Walking through the top of the mountains was a fantastic experience, with the peace and quiet only interrupted by the constant ringing of the bells around the roaming cows' necks.
After eating our picnic atop one of the rocks – with the cows watching us rather inquisitively as they constantly mounted each other (and oddly they were all female, leading to a discussion over whether female cows can be lesbians) – we headed back to Stuttgart. In the car the boyfriend was already on the phone to his friends planning a return for his birthday, with the usual trip to Oktoberfest off the list for a chance to see this little slice of paradise again.

Vitamin Shoppe may consider selling itself, analyst says
Vitamin retailer Vitamin Shoppe (VSI) could be considering selling itself after its 52 year old CEO announced that he would retire, Sterne Agee wrote in a note to investors today. WHAT'S NEW: After Vitamin Shoppe announced on September 10 that its CEO Tony Truesdale would retire effective June 2015, Sterne Agee analyst Charles Grom wrote that the news was surprising, in light of Truesdale's age and several initiatives recently carried out by the company. Given Truesdale's departure and the lack of available high-caliber retail management talent, along with Vitamin Shoppe's recent move into manufacturing via its acquisition of nutritional product maker Nutri-Force, Vitamin Shoppe's board may be considering selling the company, the analyst believes. Vitamin Shoppe could be weighing selling itself to competitor GNC (GNC) or a private equity firm, Grom wrote. He kept a $53 price target and Buy rating on Vitamin Shoppe. WHAT'S NOTABLE: In a note to investors on August 11, Credit Suisse predicted that GNC and Vitamin Shoppe could combine. The merger would create $135M of synergies and grow the combined entity's earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization by nearly 20%, the analyst predicted. Additionally, the companies have a great deal of store overlap, and the new CEO of GNC is a former president of Vitamin Shoppe, increasing the chances that a merger would be successful, Credit Suisse stated. PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, Vitamin Shoppe lost 1% to $43, while GNC advanced 1% to $39.50.

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis inflict significant morbidity. Data on undertreatment, treatment use, and treatment satisfaction are paramount to identify priority areas for advocacy, education, and research to improve patient outcomes.
To determine the extent of nontreatment and undertreatment of psoriatic diseases, trends in treatment use, treatment satisfaction, and reasons for medication discontinuation among patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Design, Setting, and Participants
We used the national survey data collected by the National Psoriasis Foundation via biannual surveys conducted from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2011, in the United States. Survey data were collected from randomly sampled patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in the US population from a database of more than 76 000 patients with psoriatic diseases.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Nontreatment, undertreatment, and treatment trends determined by the use of prescription medication (topical, phototherapeutic, oral systemic, and biologic), as well as treatment satisfaction and reasons for medication discontinuation.
A total of 5604 patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis completed the survey. From 2003 through 2011, patients who were untreated ranged from 36.6% to 49.2% of patients with mild psoriasis, 23.6% to 35.5% of patients with moderate psoriasis, and 9.4% to 29.7% of patients with severe psoriasis. Among those receiving treatment, 29.5% of patients with moderate psoriasis and 21.5% of patients with severe psoriasis were treated with topical agents alone. The most frequently used phototherapy modality is UV-B, whereas methotrexate is the most commonly used oral agent. Although adverse effects and a lack of effectiveness were primary reasons for discontinuing biological agents, the inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage was among the top reasons for discontinuation. Overall, 52.3% of patients with psoriasis and 45.5% of patients with psoriatic arthritis were dissatisfied with their treatment.
Conclusions and Relevance
Nontreatment and undertreatment of patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis remain a significant problem in the United States. While various treatment modalities are available for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, widespread treatment dissatisfaction exists. Efforts in advocacy and education are necessary to ensure that effective treatments are accessible to this patient population.
Psoriasis severity was categorized as mild (<3% body surface area [BSA] involvement of psoriasis), moderate (3%-10% BSA), or severe (>10% BSA).
Psoriasis patients were queried as to why they were using topical therapy alone in 2007.
PUVA indicates psoralen–UV-A.
Treatment dissatisfaction was assessed among psoriasis patients.
The 2007 and 2008 data are compared.

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie had already undergone a preventative double mastectomy and was awaiting reconstructive surgery when she attended a G-8 Meeting in London last month.
She says she made the agonizing decision to have both breasts removed after learning she had an 87% risk of getting cancer.
In the editorial pages of Tuesday's New York Times she wrote "... the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But is one I am very happy that I made."
Jolie discovered she had the breast cancer gene mutation called BRACA 1 after losing her mother to ovarian cancer at age 56 in 2007. She opened up to "60 Minutes" about her mom in 2011.
"She was the most generous... loving... (chokes up) she's better than me (laugh)."
Jolie says she didn't want her six children to lose their mother to cancer.
Jolie went through the three month procedure here at the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills. Doctors say her chances of getting breast cancer are now less than 5 percent.
Jolie says her fiance, Brad Pitt was by her side "for every minute of the surgeries," and that they managed to find moments to laugh.
Pitt released a statement to a London newspaper saying "All I want is for her to have a long and healhy life, with myself and our children" He called Jolie's decision "absolutely heroic."
