Wisteria Exclusive
Square Parquet-Top Coffee Table
Antiqued Art Deco Coffee Table
$489.30 - Save 30%!
I love this table! I have had it for two years and with minor maintenance, oiling the wood, it looks the same as when I purchased it. I purchased this table from the Wisteria outlet and it was flat packed when I picked it up. This made it so much easier to assemble! Some reviewers commented that the pieces come apart - I think this is great! I am moving and being able to remove the planks, top, drawers, etc. is much better than trying to move a 250+ lbs coffee table.
Sarah, OK, September 2012
What we love: whimsical; vintage look; easier to set up than we expected as directions were included and we just lifted it on to an ottoman and attached wheels from the bottom. What we did not expect: drawers are not very deep--3 inches; wheels are plastic; wood is covered with a thin layer of black paint so it is not as much brown as it is mottled black; lots of black stuff came off table when we first set it up; accessorizing the middle shelf is trickier than I thought just beause so few trays, baskets, etc. are even close to 30 inches.
Michelle, TX, June 2011
First of all, thank you to the previous reviewer. Your review helped make our coffee table transition smooth. This is such a cool table...rustic, stout & a touch of whimsy all in one. Its VERY heavy and sturdy. They even include the wrench to make attaching the casters so convenient. Do what the first reviewer said about removing the bottom planks & keep them in order-I also removed the drawers- before lifting up to attach casters. It also is fantastic being able to effortlessly move this highly functional table over for some Wii action now! Wisteria was SUPER fast and careful with shipping. Thank you! We are VERY pleased.

Now that the assemble portion has passed I do have to say I love the table. It is wonderful and functional. We love the size of it in front of our sofa which is in front of our fireplace. Looking forward to spending winters around the table.

I have had my eye on this table for two years. When I saw that it was out of stock and back ordered I thought Id better get it or Ill never get it. It just arrived and the driver told me the package weighed 250 pounds. I only had to put on the wheels but there were no instructions included. It comes with a wrench which is a hint but how do you turn over a 200 pound table to put on wheels. When I did all the boards fell out of the first shelf and they are heavy. I tried to remove the drawers and a knob bent in the falling chaos. Turns out its nailed in - not antique or modern application that I know of. It left a protruding pointy nail sticking out. Hammered it back on as best I could. If it came with instructions - they could have said remove top layer -its not attached - warning: 75 pounds! remove loose panels on second shelf and drawers. attach wheels with wrench and reassemble. But there were no directions. It is very, very heavy and I am a very strong woman. I cannot get the panels back in place as they are mishapen part of the charm. I love Wisterias products but this is my first furniture purchase. I cant say if I love the table yet as Im still overwhelmed by the massiveness of the project. It is much much darker wood than pictured too. I have a chocolate brown shag rug and Im affraid I thought I was getting a lighter wood table. Ill have to change that out or lighten the wood panels myself which I might do.

← Richard Dawkins interviews Derren Brown
Richard Dawkins interviews Derren Brown - Comments
I love watching Derren Brown reveal how easy it is to fool people. (Or, more accurately, to help people to fool themselves.) I feel like he's the James Randi of his generation, much like James Randi became the Harry Houdini of his generation.
The parallel between the trickery of psychics and the trickery of priests is clear as day, and yet so many people can't see it and get offended when it gets pointed out. It's all really depressing, actually.
Permalink Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:47:00 UTC | #286202
I recommend Derren's book "Trick of the Mind." I thought that it was going to be a kind of continuation of his channel 4 television series of the same name, but it is instead a sort of autobiography intertwined with a very God-Delusionesque account of the stupidity of irrational superstition. In it, he says that The God Delusion is his favourite book of all time. I highly recommend Trick of the Mind. It is jam packed with funny anecdotes about hypnotism and the various charlatans that he has encountered over the years. I eagerly await the follow up.
Permalink Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:01:00 UTC | #286209
Religion works the same way.
People are dumbfounded by coincidence and chance and are all too willing to attribute it to the supernatural and mysterious. On the other hand you have a "skilled" person who will feed their ignorance to turn a profit or gain their trust.
How can this NOT be evil? The religious are one of the last mass criminals to be prohibited.
"God loves you and tells me he wants you to put a dollar in the hat"
"I'm getting the name frank"
"yes, frank is my dead husband"
"He, he loves you and wants you to be happy"
"Oh, yes thank you"
"thatl' be $10.00"
I don't see any difference and I don't think it is anything other than theft, a clever theft but still it is certainly criminal.
It's apparent that the understanding of this type of evil and it's victims are the reason why atheists are morally superior. Who with a conscience or a functional brain can take part in this!

Edward de Bono has a different take on it:
People pay for a "little pill" to give them a psychological boost. The pill might be a placebo, but they still feel better for it.
I don't think selling placebos for a few bucks is evil in itself. However, the woo-woo leads to other things ...

Comment 14 by Ygern
Thank you for sharing this with us. I'll definitely be buying the 'Reason' series. (A winter solstice gift to me)
One of the points I found interesting was where there was a discussion of TV 'dramatisations' and special effects made to illustrate / enhance claims in documentaries. I can see how this might make the claim appear stronger to a really naïve viewer; but I'm not sure whether it really convinces most people - I would have thought the reverse. The moment a supposed documentary resorts to a dramatisation, I almost always find the credibility of the show dropping rather than growing.
I'd be interested to know how many people find such dramatisations improve or weaken a documentary's credibility.

Comment #300328 by Colwyn Abernathy
Yes, Derren is a bit of a dish, I think. Putting that aside, this was a really fascinating discussion. There are so many verbal tricks that aren't always obvious even to the sceptic (at least not to this sceptic). I was particularly interested in the discussion about the question of the degree of belief held by those who claim to be mediums, especially the matter of mutual re-inforcement. It was thought-provoking watching this after the interview with George Coyne. There are surely countless priests and bishops who don't really believe, but continue because they think it is best for their parishioners.

Comment 18 by EeekiE
My heroes. Both of them.
It was Derrens' book, that I assumed would be all about mental tricks and secrets, that actually started me on my trip out of religion. Exactly because it superficially didn't look like a book about scepticism, but about magic.
In fact looking at his book now, it seems almost obviously engineered to teach scepticism of religion etc.
From this book I read The God Delusion that was recommended in it and here I am now.
So yeah, if you have any friends that are a bit in to woo, or think Derren can actually read minds, but would shun TGD, get them Derrens' book as a present.
It's a trojan horse.

Indeed, I remember in one of his early shows, Derren Brown did a seance, and I was completely taken in to the whole thing. Then at the end he just gave away the whole thing, and revealed it as an excellent hoax. He is basically a British James Randi, he shows how easy it is to trick people and shows these magicians and psychics for the charlatans and frauds they really are.

Further to comment 3, Despite having read god delusion first - Derren Brown's tricks of the mind book is actually what managed to confirm to me in my own mind that I wasn't a Christian and was in fact an Atheist.
Though it covers a lot of ground, the thing I took from the book was to think for myself something I had probably not done enough of in my 30 years on this planet.
Highly recommended

Well think about it, this is the uncut footage, isn't it? If they only have one cameraman, he's gotta dance around them both. Then later they can edit the footage to focus on whoever is speaking.

I actually quite like the naked honesty, its a refreshing change to the slickly edited collages that most televised interviews become.

Yes, interesting, but what's with the cameraman hooping around like Gollum
Besides being unedited, the footage is shot off the shoulder, perhaps thats the style the director wanted or likes. So its the directors call how something is shot. And the cameraperson follows instructions, He did a good job of shooting it I think. And Im sure the Director would have had a monitor(little TV screen thing) or would have some knowledge of lens sizes and it is possible to tell what size shot is being filmed when.
Personally I think this style of camera work has been overused, remember Hill Street Blues, it all started with that show. To give the show a kind of immediacy, or gritty reality.
Anyway if you dont like it blame the director not the cameraperson.

I've enjoyed Derren Brown's approach for ages now and absolutely echo what others have said about his book 'Tricks of the Mind'; it's a revelation about the rational and sceptical approach. I've picked up a few good books after being suggested by Derren. Francis Wheen and Dick Taverne were the two most enjoyable for me.
Great video. Thanks again to the site for making it available.

What business is it of the public that folks are losing their homes or that they could not pay their bills and had to file bankruptcy? It is hard enough for these people to deal with the personal crisis in their life without it being posted in The Star for everyone to see.
People are so quick to judge, not knowing the reason why they could not pay their bills or the mortgage. Then they are considered deadbeats, but that may not be the case at all. It is not news to me. Your paper is full of this news every day. Give these folks a break. Let them deal with their crisis in private.
Think about it. If it were you, would you want it advertised so all of Calhoun County would know of your bad luck?

Michael Henry, 30, of Philadelphia was arrested on nine felonies, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said. Authorities allege he supplied Andrew Charles Thomas, 44, of Lower Merion with nine weapons, including one used to kill Plymouth Township Officer Bradley Fox during a pursuit after an attempted traffic stop.
Ferman said Henry bought the weapon from a gun store in May and resold it illegally to Thomas, who fatally shot himself as police pursued him after the officer's killing.
The charges against Henry each relate to the illegal sale of firearms and giving sworn falsification to authorities. He is being held on $1 million cash bail, pending his Oct. 16 preliminary hearing. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Prosecutors said he bought seven pistols and two rifles at gun stores in West Norriton and East Pikeland townships between April and July, then illegally transferred them for $500 each to Thomas.
"We call this a 'straw purchase,' meaning someone who is legally allowed to purchase a firearm purchases one and then gives it illegally to someone who is not permitted to purchase that firearm," Ferman said.
Thomas was not allowed to possess firearms because he was on probation for a 2005 forgery arrest in Upper Merion, officials said.
"He (Henry) put nine guns into the hands of a felon, and one of those guns was used to kill a police officer," Ferman said. "And we will go to court and we will ask our courts to do justice."

Diner Reviews
With this many beers on tap and
bottled up for your pleasure it's hard to go wrong. The choices were good, descriptions a bit ambiguous at times, and many offerings out of stock. But, once you get past that you're in for a beer filled night. Just don't order anything other than a beer- our server didn't even know what Stoli was and swore that you couldn't order a double, but then a different server assured us we could. Also- the chicken Parm doughnut was fun and interesting, but the doughnut was at least a few days old. It made a thumping noise when I tapped it against the plate. Stick to the beer and you'll be safe."

Great bar with a HUGE beer
selection that's not too expensive. Great food, not too loud, has a pool table. It's just a lot of fun"

When you walk in you'll think your
at the wrong place, but there are tables back past the bar! Great beer selection, great food! Will be back for sure, and so close to lisner autatorium great for pre show dining!"

The service was really
outstanding. The servers and bartenders were knowledgeable about the beers and gave good recommendations. Also we had a party of 8 and then eventually 10, so I was worried the check would be tough to sort out, but the servers and a bartender helped out and it was painless as possible. Food was fried in heaven. Beer was so yummy too."

We recently had our going away
from DC/my fianceé's 30th birthday party at Bier Baron, and were completely impressed. We were given a table in the backroom near a bunch of pool tables, perfect for an event of our size. Our waiter was awesome and did an excellent job keeping track of everyone and their tabs (no small feat as we had folks coming and going all evening). I also really appreciated that they told us upfront how they operate with large party checks (18% grat, single bill, but able to split off into as many credit cards as possible/people can pay as they go). They really made this party easy, the food was great, the beer kept coming. Now if only we weren't leaving DC..."

I came here for a comedy show but
decided to eat as well. The chicken Parmesan on a glaze donut was delicious! Seems like a weird combination. But I'm happy the server suggested it"

Great beer menu, interesting food
options. I thought it was just, "ok" but another person may feel differently. Worth a try."

I love bier baron and go there
with friends all the time. When I know we are going to be a big group I make reservations. I made reservations for 12 and then they were surprised we were there and gave us to sets of tables next to each other. They then proceeded to take some of the tables and chairs from us. I told them we had 12 and they just stared at me. We ended up 12 squished around one table shoulder to shoulder and one friend had to wait 20 minutes for a chair. Don't get me wrong i love bier baron but I'm nt gonna go if this is what it's like. The food is good, our waitress was really sweet and the beer selection is amazing, but what was the poit I a reservation? If you didn't have room for such a large group just be honest."

I booked a reservation for my
anniversary. I was traveling from Fredericksburg, VA specifically to eat here. When I arrived, there was not a person at the hostess section. I waited there for someone to come for about 10 minutes. When no one showed up, I decided to go for a walk and then come back. When I came back about 20 minutes later, there was still no one there. Once again, I waited about 10 minutes, but I left for good after that. I am very disappointed, and I will not give this place a second chance."
Dined on 10/12/2013
Had to find someone to seat us.
Waitress seemed annoyed that we were there. She kept reminding us that the kitchen closed in 30 minutes. Food was average"

ADA News
Session goers get look at international activities
Orlando, Fla.—International volunteer activities and the ADA's campaign to help rebuild dental offices damaged or destroyed by January's earthquake in Haiti are being showcased at the Volunteer Celebration Area at the ADA annual session Oct. 9-11 at the Orange County Convention Center.
|Starting over: Above, the Bois Verna dental office of Drs. Geraldine Delince, Didier Blaise and Steve Williams was destroyed by the earthquake that rocked Haiti in January.
Annual session attendees can visit the large display tent in the center of the celebration area on the floor of the World Marketplace Exhibition to get an up-close look at the portable dental equipment typically used in volunteer settings. The portable dental equipment display is provided by A-dec of Newberg, Ore. The tented area will also feature a multimedia display with images of international dental volunteers.
"Oral health care volunteers are true dignitaries of leadership through their service," said A-dec's Paula Vogel. "A-dec is proud to be a member of the dental community and to be able to support the volunteers."
After annual session, the ADA will donate the 10 by 20 foot tent, to the Beyond Borders/Haiti's Tents for Haiti campaign, for use as a classroom for schoolchildren affected by the earthquake.
Also at the Volunteer Celebration Area, the Health Volunteers Overseas booth will be taking on-site donations to Adopt-a-Practice: Rebuilding Dental Offices in Haiti, a joint program of the ADA Division of Global Affairs and HVO.
The ADA's partner on this project, Health Volunteers Overseas, is a U.S. nonprofit organization that has been working in global health for the past 25 years, said Helen Cherrett, senior director of the ADA Division of Global Affairs. "HVO has worked with ADA for more than 20 years in developing oral health education programs that utilize the skills and experiences of ADA members as volunteers. HVO brings strong project management expertise to this effort."

First BCS standings of 2012 show inherent flaws in current system
Story Highlights
Florida/Oregon debate boils down to style vs. substance this early in the season
Tommy Tuberville again beat top-five foe; Mack Brown had more Red River woes
Plus: Kent State's Dri Archer, spreading the field, tribute to Beano Cook, more
Sunday's release of the first BCS standings was bittersweet indeed. Just two years from now, this 14-year-old ritual will be no more. What ever will we do when we no longer have to spend Sundays waiting for a television network to tell us the results of a mathematically bankrupt formula that doesn't truly matter for another seven weeks? Must ... have ... a pecking order.
And this year, we even have a full-blown pseudo-controversy. The first BCS standings mirror the polls in declaring Alabama (6-0), the national leader in every major defensive category, as the No. 1 team. But -- gasp! -- AP and USA Today No. 2 Oregon (6-0), which is outscoring opponents by an average of 52-20, currently ranks at No. 3. Furthermore, the Ducks are only three-thousandths of a point ahead of BCS No. 4 Kansas State.
Looking at each team's schedule, the explanation for the standings is obvious: The BCS computers have discounted the Ducks' competition. And in comparison to the schools ranked behind them, Alabama, which the computers list third, and Oregon, which the computers list sixth, have played barely anyone yet.
Cue: Writers and TV types making tired nerd jokes about the computer programmers who clearly have no business inserting their nerdness into a football discussion. In reality, the computers are simply doing what the proposed playoff selection committee will purportedly do in 2014: weigh the strength of each contender's schedule.
The highpoint of Alabama's slate remains its season-opening rout of Michigan (4-2), which did not crack the first BCS standings. Or perhaps it was the win over its Week 2 opponent, Western Kentucky, which now holds a record of 5-1. 'Bama's first three SEC foes (Arkansas, Ole Miss and Missouri) are a combined 10-11. And that's a certifiable gauntlet compared to Oregon's first six opponents, which combined for seven votes in this week's AP poll (Washington 6, Arizona 1).
If it were possible to somehow clear voters' brains of all preseason perceptions and recent history, and if those voters were to then sit down and rank teams based solely on their résumés to date, two other unbeatens, Florida and Notre Dame, would in fact rank ahead of Alabama and Oregon. Two more, Kansas State and Oregon State, would come in ahead of the Ducks.
On Saturday, the 6-0 Gators, which in an unusual scheduling quirk will wrap up conference play before Election Day, improved to 5-0 in the SEC with a 31-17 win at Vanderbilt. Will Muschamp's team previously notched road victories over 5-1 Texas A&M (No. 18 in the BCS) and 3-3 Tennessee in addition to a 14-6 home win over No. 6 LSU (5-1). And if that's not enough, Florida hosts BCS No. 7 South Carolina (6-1) this Saturday.
The schedule has been similarly demanding for 6-0 Notre Dame, which, with a dramatic 20-13 overtime win against Stanford, now boasts four wins over opponents with winning records. Amazingly, the Irish's second-ranked scoring defense has not allowed an offensive touchdown since Sept. 8, though Cardinal running back Stepfan Taylor may disagree. And Notre Dame's slate only gets more daunting: Road meetings with BCS No. 9 Oklahoma (4-1) and No. 10 USC (5-1) loom before the end of year.
As for Kansas State, the Wildcats currently sit alone in first place atop this year's toughest conference (seven of the 10 Big 12 teams currently appear in the BCS standings), and their Sept. 22 win at Oklahoma looks even more impressive following the Sooners' Red River beatdown of Texas. Next week's trip to Morgantown lost some luster after West Virginia's blowout loss at Texas Tech, but a victory would give the Wildcats two wins over current top-15 foes -- two more than either Alabama or Oregon can count.
The BCS standings pose an age-old question: Style or substance? A playoff selection committee operating like the NCAA basketball committee would look at schools' current résumés and downgrade the Tide and Ducks, just like the BCS computers did. But we're still living in the poll era, where blowouts seem to matter much more than the level of competition, and it's hard to argue with 'Bama and Oregon's dominance. The Tide went to Columbia Saturday and, in a haze of rain and slosh, rushed for 362 yards while limiting the Tigers (now 0-4 in the SEC) to 126 total yards. It's what we've come to expect from a juggernaut that has now held 19 of its past 20 opponents to 14 points or fewer. Oregon's defense is not quite as stingy, but it's pretty darn good. Coordinator Nick Aliotti's group ranks 15th nationally in yards per play (4.55), which is more than formidable enough to complement Oregon's machine-like attack.
The Tide and Ducks do face tougher competition soon. Thursday, Oregon visits 5-1 Arizona State, which barely missed the Top 25 this week. The real heavy lifting comes in November, however, when Chip Kelly and Co. have games against BCS No. 9 USC, No. 20 Stanford (4-2) and No. 8 Oregon State (5-0). If they get through all that, they'll likely partake in a Pac-12 Championship Game rematch with either Arizona State or USC.
Meanwhile, Alabama visits Tennessee this week, followed by an intriguing three-week swing: Oct. 27 against Mississippi State, which should be 7-0 by kickoff, Nov. 3 at LSU and Nov. 10 against Texas A&M. And if the Tide win the SEC West, they'll undoubtedly play another top-10 team in Atlanta. That opponent could very well be Florida, a matchup that -- if the Tide, Gators and Ducks all remain undefeated -- should render any BCS controversy moot anyway.
Still, in an ideal world, we would all just wait until everybody has completed their full schedules before determining which teams have the best cases to play for the title. And the good news is, in two years, none of this will be an issue -- except on ESPN's new Sunday night program: "Selection Committee Countdown."
Stars recover from slow start, beat Ducks to tie up series
Blue Jackets rally from three-goal deficit in Game 4 to beat Penguins in overtime

Predatory Thinking
Predatory thinking. Street smarts. Whatever you want to call it, it's about writing the rules on your terms, rather than following someone else's; it's about changing behaviour through reframing a story or changing the context; it's about seeking unfair advantage to outmanoeuvre the competition.
Predatory Thinking starts and can only finish with the business or behavioural problem. In business and beyond, you are either predator or prey - and if you don't make the choice of which one to be, it gets made for you. Standing still is not an option.
This is where we collect examples of Predatory Thinking - past, present and with an eye on the future. Anyone can contribute, anyone can comment. Join in.

Underground shopping
Submitted by: Nick Daniel
Soeul is a busy place, so to engage the busy commuter, Tesco developed a QR Code poster store in a Korean underground station.
The Predator Thought was that if commuters were too busy to come to their shop, they'd bring the shop to commuters.
The Tesco posters operated like a fully functioning, virtual isle of their shops. They allowed busy commuters to use their smart phones to do a shop in the morning on the way to work. Pick the items they wanted by capturing the relevant QR Code, pay, and their purchases would be delivered when they got home in the evening.

A step forward for Center
OUR OPINIONSouth Bend's Center for the Homeless has been so successful in tackling the complex challenges of the community's neediest members that it may indeed be the Miracle on South Michigan Street.Rarely has a collaboration of charitable and social service providers been so extensive or run so well — and the center has national awards to prove it.The organization has served more than 44,000 men, women and children since it opened its doors in 1988.So it may have seemed like another cruel consequence of the recession a few weeks ago when the center announced that it would begin asking clients to pay a few dollars for room and board.While it's true the new policy will ensure the center's precious resources are spread further, the change is a sensible one for any economy. It will help young women with babies, young men not yet navigating on their own and older adults down on their luck practice important lessons of responsibility, as well. Beginning April 1, the center began charging its guests up to $5 a day for food. On May 1, the center also established a $1-a-day "program fee" that includes housing to guests staying more than 45 days. Those who stay more than 180 days are asked to pay $3.33 a day.Many center residents have some resources including government assistance set aside for the poor. Residents, for example, can turn in food stamps to cover their meals. But the center has pledged that no one will be turned away — those who can't afford the costs are being asked to earn their keep by doing chores at the center.Jacqueline Kronk, the center's director of development and public relations, said the measure reinforces the center's mission to get its clients back on track and become accountable for their own welfare.Not everyone is happy with the new policy, of course. But to us, it seems like a prudent and compassionate evolution of the center's work to break the cycle of homelessness.

Trying to help a friend sell his dad's mustang!
Up for sale is a 1965 Ford Mustang engine code "A" with the 289 factory V8 4B carb option. We have owned this car for over 12 years and has never seen the rain or snow while in our possession.the information that i will provide is the best of our knowledge as we have only had the car for 12 years total so the total past is unknown.exterior: 8/10color is black which still shinesthere is a little paint peeling on the hood where the word "FORD" is mountedthere is some bubble rust on the rear fenders but nothing horrible. For the age it is pretty impressive.the chrome has very little pitting and is originalwe do know that the hood and drivers side door are not original but everything else is. 4 BRAND NEW TIRES and FULL SIZE SPAREinterior: 9/10Red in color. split bucket seats up front with the bench in the rear.there are no tears in the seats and the carpeting is in great condition.there is an aftermarket radio mounted just behind the shifter with pioneer speakers in the back because the original radio did not work but we wanted to leave it in. We are not sure if the TACH works as we have barely driven it over the past 12 years but we just wanted to make sure to inform you of this. drivetrain and powertrain: 8/10**NUMBERS MATCHING**BUILT OUT OF DETROIT MICHIGAN WHERE IT ALL BEGAN**We were informed by our mechanic awhile back when we purchased it that the VIN matches the body and the engine. also known as a VIN code "A" which was one of the rarest but strongest V8 options at that time. it is an automatic- no shifting problems or slippage. drives like a champ.the engine fires right up and has its oil changed every year even though there are less than 100 miles a year put on the carthe carb was replaced with a holley 650 carb.the exhaust was swapped out with a straight 2inch stainless steel piping.the brakes bite a little to the right as soon as you hit them but it does center back out. we have looked into this several times with no resolution. Just takes a little getting used to but is not that big of a deal.This is a beautiful classic that we are hoping finds a good home. We no longer can keep it or give it the love that it deserves so we are going to part from it. the car was appraised to be right under $20,000 in its current condition, and with a little bit of work could be worth upwards of $30,000 because the numbers are matching. We are asking $9,000.00 obo- please no lowballing but all reasonable offers will be considered. PRICE DROP!!!i also really urge you to take the time to come out and see the car in person because these descriptions and pictures really don't do it justice. Email or text with any questions. i do have more pictures if you need them, and this is my real number i used to work for a cell phone company so dont think i am lieing. 3.3.1..9.9.9..22.214.171.124. i promise it is real. thanks for looking

So far we've done smoothies with some milk, fruit, ice, spinach, and carrots in it! It's so fabulous when he drinks it all down and loves it…what an easy way to get healthy foods down him. Do any of you have a favorite smoothie recipe or just an easy way to get kids to eat healthy foods? – Julie, StrongMoms Facilitator
One thing our kids love is dips! So we created a healthy dip that we have them dip fruit into. We take some low fat plain yogurt and puree some fresh berries and then slice apples really thin. They eat the yogurt and all the apple pieces and we feel like this is a good snack for them. We haven't tried too many smoothies but now I'm thinking we should!
Those are both awesome ideas. I will have to keep them in the back of my mind for when hazel is old enough.
Smoothies and dips are always great. You can also chop up veggies really fine and add them to tomato sauce or other sauces. This increases the veggie content of their dinners. Also, I like to give my kids a gold star for trying new foods that they are not sure about. This is helpful in getting them to expand their palates and makes it seem more fun and less scary.
PediNurseJulie1, that would be very interesting.
MommyRN4 - we just did this! I made some pizza and chopped up yellow squash into small, fine bits and added it to the sauce. My son never noticed it and chomped it all down. It's a good way to get more veggies in. AnswerDad - what a great dip idea! I'll be sure to try it with my boy - I think he'll like it!
Make sure to experiment with different dips and salad dressings...my kids don't like ranch (go figure right!) but they all love tangy bacon catelina and asian dressing. LOL! Just keep experimenting until you find the one that he likes and then you can use that to dip veggies in and chicken etc.
My mom used to sneak veggies into everything-pasta sauce, pizza, nachos-she was sneaky! lol. I love the smoothie idea. We just got a new blender so if anyone wants to share their favorite smoothie recipe I'm on the hunt for new smoothies!

How might Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease be treated?
Treatment for Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease varies according to the location and size of the tumor and its associated cyst. In general, the objective of treatment is to treat the growths when they are causing symptoms but while they are still small so that they do not cause permanent problems by putting pressure on the brain or spine, blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the nervous system, or impairing vision. Treatment of most cases of VHL disease usually involves surgery to remove the tumors before they become harmful. Certain tumors can be treated with focused high-dose irradiation. Individuals with VHL disease need careful monitoring by a physician and/or medical team familiar with the disorder.[1]

BY AARON BRENNER | email@example.com
CLEMSON – If Georgia was coming to Death Valley today, Clemson's got a good feel of who run out there at offensive line.
Individually, there has been some consternation at certain spots within the past week. But with 17 days to go before the opener, head coach Dabo Swinney sounded far more confident in his starting group.
And that group does not include Isaiah Battle, whom the coaches have practically begged to step into a starring role at left tackle.
"Battle's not going to beat out Brandon Thomas," Swinney said Wednesday at Memorial Stadium following a morning situational scrimmage. "I mean, that's a pipe dream."
So there's that. But if Battle was at least one of Clemson's best five offensive lineman, that would scooch all-ACC lineman Brandon Thomas over one spot to left guard.
"In Battle's situation, he's not there yet, but at some point, hopefully the light comes on, and he's one of those five, maybe he's better than one of our other guys, then we've got flexibility," Swinney said. "We don't have a lot of flexibility with Isaiah – he's going to play one spot, and that's tackle."
So Thomas is locked in at left tackle against the Bulldogs, right?
"Oh, yeah. Yeah. Unless something drastic changes, he's the guy that gives us the best chance to win," Swinney said. "That's not going to change in the next couple of weeks."
Plan B doesn't look good either, for one reason. He stands 6-foot-4 tall and weighs 315 pounds and has a new nickname.
"David Beasley has had a great camp," Swinney said, with enthusiasm. "If you had asked me that before camp, I'd have said it's a real hot fire at left guard. But I tell you what: I think (offensive line coach) Robbie (Caldwell) changed his name from the Ugly Duckling to the Sexy Swan. You never know what Robbie's going to say."
After reporters stopped chuckling, Swinney outlined how Beasley's been "the most pleasant surprise of camp," and the best camp overall on the line outside of entrenched right guard Tyler Shatley.
"We didn't know if he was going to be fully committed. We're most pleased with him and his performance and his mental preparation," Swinney said. "He has been very, very focused, and he's made very few mental mistakes.
"And physically, he's a train. Very strong, hard to get around. If he gets his hands on you, it's over. He's pushed through conditioning from a fatigue standpoint."
On the other side of the line, Gifford Timothy's hanging on to right tackle for now. Eric Mac Lain, Joe Gore and Shaq Anthony are in the mix as backups.
"Giff is probably the guy who I'm not displeased with. I trust Giff. We all trust him," Swinney said. "But he's probably the guy that needs some fire under him."
Finally, the center position. The most important cog on the line, and the saga of inconsistent shotgun snaps continues with Ryan Norton and Jay Guillermo.
"We've been a little inconsistent with our snaps," Swinney said. "Not bad, but just not the perfection that we're looking for."
The Tigers would like to have a firm five in place when game preparation for Georgia begins Aug. 22 – nine days before the showdown.
"Obviously an opener like this, a game like this, you're gonna put your best foot forward," Swinney said. "We've got to really dial in on who we want to go to battle with, and who we think is really ready, that we can trust."
Leggett goes down: Promising freshman tight end Jordan Leggett was carted off from Wednesday's scrimmage, after catching a pass and getting tackled. He went off to get his knee checked out, and details should follow today or tomorrow.
"Hopefully, it's not bad," Swinney said. "It didn't look good on the field."

Economics Majors Capitalize on Networking Opportunity
Friday, April 26, 2013
By Mitchel Clow '13
With graduation and summer vacation approaching, Siena College economics majors were given a unique opportunity to speak with Siena alumni who shared their major at the first Economics Networking Event. The room was full of smiles and handshakes as students gained valuable insight for career success and learned about opportunities for internships and jobs.
"Positive networking can be just the edge that lets companies see your resume first," said Steve Maggio '12, who now works at MetLife.
Career Center Director Debra Del Belso said attending networking events is vital to career growth. "70-80% of positions are not posted online or in print. After your first position, you move on through networking," Del Belso said. She also advised students on ways to become successful while networking. "You need to develop an 'elevator speech,' a quick, 30-second introduction to who you are and what you're looking for," Del Belso said.
One way to ensure a job after graduation is through internships. "A lot of times, when you take an internship, that turns into a job," said Professor of Economics Scott Trees, Ph.D. He added that making connections with classmates, professors and future employers is a good way to build contacts that could someday lead to career advancement.
"It's great to meet people who are economics majors and to hear their story of how they got to where they are now," said Dave Mucha '14. "Sometimes they give advice on any mistakes they made and how to not make the same mistakes."
Whether they were getting to know classmates and professors or speaking with Siena College graduates about job prospects in their field of study, economics majors learned firsthand that networking provides them with opportunities to make connections that could lead to career success.

Review by Sean Bugg
WE'LL JUST GET this out of the way up front, so to speak: there's a lot of nudity in Pulupot, the story of a group of Filipino sex workers who work together, dream together and — possibly — fall in love. That may be the most important thing for some, and it's certainly alluring, but there's also a sweet little love story hiding at the core.
Eva runs a beauty shop by day and a karaoke host bar by night (a host bar being an establishment where you pay for the privilege of having one of the boys working there join you at your table, and pay more to have him leave with you). A transgender woman who tries to do the best for her group of friends and employees, Eva harbors an unrequited love for Edgardo, the most popular boy at her bar.
It's not hard to see why Edgardo keeps bringing back the customers, both male and female. Not only is he beautiful, but he has a natural sweetness about him — he goes out of his way to provide for his family and give coins to the children in his village, which is little more than a collection of shacks with no running water. But after his girlfriend leaves for Canada, he finds himself living as a kept boy for a closeted (and jealous) doctor.
The tone is suitably pitched to soap opera, although there are random descents into amateurism, such as a minor character looking directly into the camera. But even so, the dilemma of all the characters is sharply delineated, as each of them dreams of escaping: to America, from the sex trade, into love with each other. Some find their dreams, others don't, but Pulupot always keeps its heart.

Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
The lower-end ENG XF series gets two new models with 20X lenses.
Pricing not available
The new dSLR doesn't break any new ground, but has just enough controls to get you started.
If you're looking for a camera that can dive underwater beyond 50 feet without a housing, Canon has something to show you.
Some fun new shooting options for instantly telling stories with your photos and movies, and NFC for easy Wi-Fi setup make the N100 more interesting than the original.
The Mini X definitely improves on the original with more advanced video features, better mics, and linear PCM audio recording.
This year's models deliver minor tweaks over last year's.
The camera maker's top compact megazoom gets a new lens, NFC, and full HD movie capture at 60p.
It boasts a better lens, faster performance, bulked-up features and a streamlined design.
If you hate AA batteries, but like inexpensive compacts with manual controls, the 16x zoom Canon PowerShot SX170 IS takes a good photo. Otherwise, seek out its predecessor, the SX160 IS.
A change in sensor brings the 30x zoom Canon PowerShot SX510 HS' photo and movie quality as well as its shooting performance up a notch.

Post number 178. This is what he said:
Ok i have run tests on the new 650 for on hour and i will be running no more. This has pissed me the hell off just too much. TBE is still present on low amp settings and up. Whats worse is there is no game mode to at least get it to go away with amp on low. Haloing is still present, and gets noticible the more you increase amp. This set is a technical mess. The image is grainy compared to the 71. The amp is toned down but still dosn't work lol. There is no way in hell i am keeping this TV I did not pay another $700 over my 71 to stay the same or take a step backwards in some instances. Screw this im going back to BB soon. I will field any questions if you have any. Manaburn gives this set two thumbs down. If you have a 71 just stick with it there is nothing to be gained with this buying this TV. I was hoping to analize this set in great detail but it just isnt worth my time. And the procesor debate should just be over it could have 10 AMD/xilleon VPs working side by side and it still wouldnt matter because the VP sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
