Atkins Diet Menu
The menu is the most fascinating part of the Atkins diet. Most plans recommend a strict diet that consists of foods that you normally dislike. Prolonged abstinence from mouth-watering dishes often leads to eating binges, in addition to such diet plans making you feel forever hungry.
The Atkins diet, on the other hand, encourages forbidden foods like steak, butter, mayonnaise, and cream. By barring added sugars, refined grains and carbohydrates from all sources, the diet encourages a steep reduction in the amount of carbohydrates that are ingested.
The basic aim of the Atkins diet is to limit carbohydrate intake to 20 grams a day. Bread, fruits, vegetables (apart from broccoli, tomatoes and lettuce), grains, dairy products (except cream, butter and cheese) are eliminated. Total water intake of at least 8 ounces is advised in the form of plain water, herbal teas or coffee (decaffeinated).
A typical Atkins diet meal plan in the induction phase would include:
- Breakfast - Tea or coffee (without caffeine) with omelet of one egg, 1 ounce of cheese and 1/2 ounce of boiled ham.
- Lunch - Salad consisting of one ounce each of turkey, ham and cheese, one cup of green salad, 6 pieces of boiled shrimp, with one tablespoon of garlic and mayonnaise.
- Dinner - Six ounces of boiled steak, 1 tablespoon of whipped cream, 8 ounces of low sugar Jell-O, 1 cup of green salads and 1/2 soufflé of spinach made with butter, egg, cheese, cream and flour.
- Snacks: 1 teaspoon of peanut butter with 4" celery stalk.
Food items to be avoided include pasta, vegetables (except the ones mentioned above), legumes, nuts, seeds, kidney beans, chickpeas, yogurt and other products that contain sugar or carbohydrates (including alcohol). Proteins and fats are encouraged, and therefore red meat, fish, poultry, olive oil, sunflower and other vegetable oils, butter, eggs and mayonnaise can be consumed when on the Atkins diet plan. This literally means that you can enjoy the foods that you love as you obtain natural weight loss.
Although it is one of the most popular weight loss plans, the dramatic change in eating habits leads to side effects like bad breath and withdrawal symptoms. Dr. Atkins, the founder of the diet, concedes that as people are addicted to sugar, wheat, caffeine and foods that change blood sugar levels, withdrawal symptoms like fatigue, headaches, cold sweats, feeling faint and palpitations are normal. These usually disappear within a week. However, severe withdrawal symptoms are signs of unsuitability of the diet. In such cases, it is best to abandon the Atkins diet.
The Atkins theory states that the body burns stored fat in the absence of carbohydrates. Most specialists feel that fad diets and weight loss supplements do not provide long-term and sustainable weight loss. The human body needs carbohydrates as much as it needs proteins and fats, and it is the amount of carbohydrates consumed that actually lead to obesity.References:

Mission Statement
In order to limit the use of single use plastic on our campus, the Office of Housing and Residence Life's goal is to implement outdoor bottleless water fountains by Move-In on Saturday, August 17, 2013. By placing ten portable hydration stations in various locations around the residence halls, we will be able to provide volunteers, incoming freshmen and families, as well as faculty and staff, with fresh drinking water. This will eliminate our consumption of single use plastic and help to protect our environment. The use of bottleless water dispensers will also serve as an opportunity to educate the community about water conservation and the importance of reducing the consumption of plastic.
In 2012, we provided our volunteers and students with 8,400 single-use disposable plastic water and Gatorade bottles. This year, we will be using zero. As an alternative, we will have a number of water hydration stations set up around campus where individuals may fill reusable water bottles and paper cone cups. In addition, ice and Gatorade powder mix will be available at each hydration station.
Hydration Stations
During Move-In Day on August, 17, 2013, Housing & Residence Life will provide twelve water dispensers from Waterboy Sports where individuals may refill their reusable bottles. These dispensers will be placed around the freshmen move-in residential areas of Belk, Cornerstone, Galloway, Graham Hall, Hewlett Hall, Honors, International, the University Apartments, University Suites, and the Office of Housing and Residence Life.
Each water dispenser will have eight individual drinking stations, capable of high volume use. These dispensers are also portable and easily storable, making them available for use at future outdoor events on the UNCW campus. In this way, we will be able to extend the positive environmental impact of this Bottleless Water Initiative beyond Move-In Day and well into the university's future.
The Bottle
To help maintain the plastic-free status of this event, and to help all participants stay well hydrated, every volunteer will be given a reusable water bottle on Move-In Day. These 20-ounce bottles are made of stainless steel and are BPA-free. Volunteers can refill their bottles at the Hydration Stations throughout the day, and are able to keep them for their own future use. These bottles are sponsered by Housing & Residence Life, UNCW Campus Dining, the UNCW Sustainability Committee, Port City Java, and Image Promotions.
The StickerAll participants of Move-In 2013 will be provided with a Sustainable Move-In sticker. Volunteers should write their name on their sticker and attach it to their bottle, as a way to help everyone keep track of their own bottles. Signing this sticker is also a mark of a personal pledge to pursue sustainability in all areas of life.
Sustainability Facts
- Zero single-use plastic beverage bottles this move-in - compared to last year's 8,400 bottles
- Single-use untreated cone cups are biodegradable and recyclable
- The info-graphic posters are made from a recyclable vinyl material
- Hydration Stations are reusable for outdoor events and many move-in to come
- Providing reusable water bottles to help community reduce their use of single use plastic
- Using resources we have available at UNCW: i.e. tap water

|Head Coach
|(352) 588-8366
Chris Greenwood was hired as the first-ever full-time Saint Leo University Head Men's Golf coach in June of 2013.
Prior to working with the green and gold, Greenwood served as the Director of Golf at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for one year. Under his guidance at UALR, the Trojans claimed one Sun Belt All-Conference Selection while also earning the highest GPA of UALR men's sports programs. Two of Greenwood's players earned Academic All-American honors.
Before his stint with the Trojans, Greenwood served as the head men's golf coach at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. for seven seasons, where he led the Fighting Knights to 16 tournament titles, extended Lynn's streak of consecutive NCAA appearances to 10, and reached the NCAA Division II Men's Golf National Tournament four times (2006 and 2009-11).
A two-time Sunshine State Conference Coach of the Year (2006 and 2008), Greenwood coached 15 All-America selections and 12 Academic All-Americans in his seven years at Lynn, as well as 2 Academic All-Americans during his time at UALR. During his first year with the program, Greenwood picked up his first SSC Coach of the Year award after guiding the Fighting Knights to a Sunshine State Conference title and leading the team to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Division II National Championship.
Before entering the realm of collegiate coaching, Greenwood played for 12 years on the Canadian Golf Tour, where he recorded six victories as a professional, multiple top-ten finishes and set a tournament record by finishing the Eagle Creek Classic at 22-under par. He has also played on the PGA Tour, Nationwide, Tight Lies, Nike, South African PGA, Australasia PGA and the Dakotas tour.
While competing on the Canadian Tour, Greenwood served as the United States Players Representative on the Board of Directors, and the Canadian Tour representative to Srixon, ensuring all players utilize the proper equipment at each event.
A member of the North Carolina State University golf team from 1990-92, Greenwood notched one tournament victory as a collegiate athlete at Duke University's John Ryan Memorial. Upon graduating from North Carolina State University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in general communications with a concentration in public relations, he joined the Wolfpack as an assistant men's golf coach. Prior to NC State, Greenwood attended Virginia Tech where he was an All-Conference selection as a freshman.
The Valdese, N.C. native is the first-ever full-time head men's golf coach at Saint Leo. He is married to Nancy Greenwood. The couple has two daughters, Savannah and Mackenzie, and one son, Daniel.

Wearable robot can help patients walk again
|Physical therapists Nicolle Lang, left, Katie Bigarel, and Nancy Hicks, ready a robotic exoskeleton for David Ayscue to wear to help him walk at WakeMed Rehab in Raleigh, North Carolina, September 27, 2012. WakeMed is one of sixteen sites across the country that are starting to use the robotic exoskeleton, designed by Ekso Bionics, to help patients learn or re-learn to walk. (Shawn Rocco/Raleigh News & Observer/MCT)
A team of physical therapists strapped the robot onto him, one hit a button and with a faint electronic whir, David Ayscue was suddenly 6 feet tall again.
Then Ayscue took a step, and a different future came just a little bit closer for him and millions of others who can't walk on their own.

The facilities on campus are average. The classroom settings are good but my main priority is just learning from my teachers. The campus life here is boring and the social scene is very small and insignificant. My purpose is to earn an education and I do not particularly care for any social scenes.
PSC is a very small campus, so there isn't as many things to do on campus as there would be at a big campus. We have a good library, we have a Panther Den where people play pool and a lobby where some people hang out that's pretty much it. We call the areas outside of the dorms and around the campus "The Block" where people sit and hang out when it feels good outside.
The staff here is awesome. They really care about their students. If you want to suceed they will do what ever they can to help you meet your goals.
There are plenty of academic opportunites as for as leadership programs, tutoring sessions, and even new ideas
Needs Improvement – Don't really have green spaces or a student hang-out area. Very conservative library and studying area.

A new treatment for a common heart ailment could come to the U.S. after a groundbreaking study was published recently by doctors from Russia working closely with Bergen physicians.
The treatment is for atrial fibrillation, which affects 2.7 million Americans and causes an irregular heartbeat – a heartbeat that is either wildly too fast or drastically too slow. Patients feel terribly dizzy and weak and can run the risk of organ failure or stroke.
Standard treatment includes medication as well as cauterization or ablation of small areas of tissue in the heart with the belief that essentially killing the source of the electrical misfiring will stop it, says Dr. Jonathan Steinberg, director of the Arrhythmia Institute at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. He worked in tandem with the Russian doctors on the study.
In this new treatment, Steinberg says doctors insert a catheter into an artery in the groin, thread it to the kidney and ablate nerves in that organ. Physicians have long known that the arteries in the kidneys affect blood pressure, although they are not exactly sure how.
So what then connects the kidney to an irregular heartbeat? Steinberg says a likely possibility is that nerves from the renal artery in the kidney travel to the brain and connect to the sympathetic nervous system, which could be responsible for the heart's misfiring. Ablating the renal nerves is thought to work in the same way as ablating heart tissue: By killing the source of the misfiring, you stop the misfiring that leads to atrial fibrillation.
"By interrupting the activity in the nerves that excites cardiac electricity, we can favorably affect atrial fibrillation," Steinberg says. "It's sort of a remote control to affect the overall autonomic tone in the heart."
The new treatment is known as renal denervation, and it has had promising results so far, according to a study published by the American College of Cardiology in September by doctors including Steinberg and Dr. Evgeny Pokushalov of the State Research Institute of Circulation Pathology in Novosibirsk, Russia.
Those patients who had renal denervation in addition to standard atrial ablation were three times more likely to go for one year without an irregular heartbeat.
The patients in the two-year-old study were Russian, and it was limited to 27 people. A larger study starting in early 2013 will enroll about 200 patients from six medical centers in the U.S., Russia and Europe. Steinberg estimates that if the study goes as well as doctors hope, the treatment could be used in the U.S. in one or two years.
While many Americans might think the Russian health care system antiquated compared to the U.S., Steinberg says that was not his impression during the times he traveled there to work on the research.
"There are pockets of great work over there," Steinberg says. "Their health care system has a lot of problems in reaching large swaths of their population. But there are institutions that are highly progressive and very advanced and very well funded by the government. Plus there are very smart, motivated scientists there, as well."
The Russian physician, Pokushalov, says it is crucial for doctors to collaborate across national borders.
"It increases the statistical power of clinical studies and it helps us avoid different biases that can arise," he says, in an email, adding that knowledge gained can be shared with doctors all over the world through studies like the one he published with Bergen County doctors.
"Our collaboration is like a cross-continental brainstorm, where you can find the best fruitful direction of thinking," Pokushalov says. "It is important to find the best treatment suitable for various populations all over the world."
A Patient's Story
For more than a decade, Chris Davis lived with atrial fibrillation. And for a while, surgical and medical treatments worked to give him relief from the irregular heartbeat that sometimes made his heart race and sometimes made it drag so slowly he was too scared to sleep.
"Pretty much I just had to live with it," says Davis, 63, a retired prison superintendent who lives in Orange County, N.Y.
Davis decided to undergo a relatively new procedure at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood called FIRM, or Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation.
Dr. Jonathan Steinberg, director of the Arrhythmia Institute at The Valley Hospital, explains it like this: For many years, doctors thought atrial fibrillation was caused by many electrical circuits misfiring all over the upper atrial chambers of the heart. They have come to understand that for each patient, the misfiring usually starts in the atrium or in the veins that empty into the atrium.
With FIRM, doctors find that location by using an electrical mapping catheter and then use a radio frequency cauterization tool to ablate or desiccate the tissue in that spot, usually about a nickel in size. By killing that small amount of tissue, it effectively blocks the source of the misfiring, Steinberg says.
Ablation has long been a traditional treatment for atrial fibrillation, but traditionally the locations are chosen because doctors believe they're generally good spots to choose – the doctor isn't targeting specific spots for each patient.
Valley Hospital is one of two facilities nationwide that perform the FIRM procedure and began doing it about a year ago. About a dozen patients have undergone the procedure.
Davis admits he was a bit reluctant to take part in something that is still relatively new, but he was more worried about what would happen if his condition continued to worsen.
"I was scared," he says, "but we're very active and I didn't want to be walking around with an oxygen bottle. So I said, 'Let's give it a shot.'"
Now, about nine months after the procedure, Davis says his heart is very rarely out of rhythm.
"Now I'm back to doing what I want to do," he says. "And that feels really good."

May 30: HIV/AIDS, Development, and the Next Generation in Africa
Globally, over 42 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, 29 million of whom are on the African continent. On May 30, the UCLA Globalization Research Center - Africa will sponsor a day-long public education forum at the UCLA Faculty Center, "HIV/AIDS, Development, and the Next Generation in Africa" to address major questions about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its implications for development over the next 25 years in Africa.
Published: Friday, May 30, 2003
Globally, over 42 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, 29 million of whom are on the African continent. The magnitude of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa has turned the disease into a generational threat to the future well being of millions of people in a number of countries. As productive members of society succumb to the disease, a whole generation of children throughout the world is losing parents, extended family and other caretakers to AIDS, thereby threatening the whole fabric of society. For more than a decade, various politicians, scientists, scholars and policymakers have attempted to understand this pandemic, to develop strategies for treating the disease, to deal with the economic, social and political impacts, and to devise approaches for preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS.
In both scholarly and policy circles debates rage over how to stem the pandemic. Some suggest that the most immediate need is to treat those who are presently afflicted, perhaps with new miracle drugs. Others are concerned with the ethics of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Still others are concerned with understanding the political economy of the disease, or with strategies for prevention of HIV/AIDS now and in the future. Despite increased international attention and financial resources addressing the widespread problem of HIV/AIDS, the full, long term, developmental impact of the pandemic remains under examined.
There needs to be more research on the longer term economic and social trends created by HIV/AIDS as well as the policy implications for governments, donor agencies, civil society and academic institutions. This is particularly the case given the present trends in sub-Saharan African countries where infection rates have risen past fifteen to twenty percent among adults. The unprecedented scale of the spread of the disease, particularly in many parts of Africa, as well as the slow onset nature of its impact, has a generational impact. Most responses are naturally addressed to the immediate problem of human suffering, both those who are ill as well as those who are immediately affected by the loss of relatives/providers.
Beyond the immediate costs, though, many aspects of life in African countries are being affected for the longer term. On May 30, the UCLA Globalization Research Center - Africa will sponsor a public education forum entitled, "HIV/AIDS, Development, and the Next Generation in Arica," which will run from 9:00 am to 5:00 p.m. at the UCLA Faculty Center Lounge Room. Confirmed speakers from international agencies such as WHO, UNICEF, NGOs, USAID, and the UCLA School of Public Health and the School of Public Policy and Social Research will be in attendance. This event will provide a venue for addressing major long term questions about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and its implications for development over the next twenty five years in Africa. It will bring together practitioners and researchers who are currently working on the developmental impacts of HIV/AIDS. The event will offer to the UCLA community and a wider audience in Southern California, an opportunity to engage the difficult and wide ranging issues surrounding this pandemic.

Judgment on the Front Line
How Smart Companies Win By Trusting Their People
- eBook - ePub eBook: $18.99
Front-line employees can be your greatest asset-here's how to tap their rich vein of insight and leadership.
Front-line employees who deal directly with customers are the face of any organization. Not only do they have the most impact on how a brand is perceived, but they are also the most valuable source of insight into what customers want and how to give it to them.
Unfortunately, as management experts Chris DeRose and Noel M. Tichy explain, most organizations don't know how to evaluate the risk of giving employees more autonomy. Many of those who are willing to try haven't even invested resources in ensuring that-once the shackles are off-front-line employees make good judgments.
Tichy and DeRose offer powerful examples of front-line leadership, such as:

FOX 32 previously reported about a big drop in murder in the North Side Rogers Park Police District. Chicago police statistics show that, since 1990, homicide's declined by 71% in the 24th District.
Several neighborhood activists told us, "If you want to see why violence is down in Rogers Park, go talk to B.J. Thomas."
So, we did.
The neighborhood is not like it used to be in the late 1980s and early 1990s on the 7500 block of North Seeley. It's now quiet where retail store manager B.J. Thomas and his wife raised their daughters. He had to protect them from a local street gang that one night shot a competing drug dealer right at the front door of the family's four-flat.
"They were running down the street this way shooting," Thomas says. "And one guy got shot, kinda hooked a right, fell down in front of our door here. We called an ambulance and got him to a hospital."
Thomas said gang bangers controlled the building directly across the street from his, selling guns and sex, in addition to drugs. Enraged by how brazen they were, Thomas decided to rally other neighbors to take back the night.
"I can't tell you how much sleep I lost," he says. "I mean, I was out here 3-4-5 o'clock in the morning, cause the gangs were out here dealing drugs, making all kinds of noise. I couldn't sleep, got dressed, stood in front of my building. My neighbor got dressed, stood in front of his building. You know, we had backup in the house. Our wives would call the police."
The first phone calls to police, though, didn't go well, Thomas said, with several cops suggesting, if he wanted his family to be safe, he ought to move.
"I think those cops have kinda evolved out of the system. I don't see 'em," Thomas explains. "They've retired. Now we have some younger police on the street. I've seen a big change in the way the police approach the average citizen in the neighborhood."
Thomas also gave credit to the neighborhood's church-based youth programs that he said have expanded their outreach to youngsters who otherwise might get into trouble.
"It's not all about religion. It's all about, you know, basically people being people and looking out for one another. I think religion fosters that," Thomas says.
Thomas and many others we talked to in the 24th Police District said the real reason the number of homicides dropped by 71% over the last quarter-century is that thousands of residents each did their part.
Some critics, though, took issue with our previous story. A former 49th Ward aldermanic candidate suggested fewer are dying of gunshots because of better trauma care.
Donald Gordon wrote: "Let's not factor out major advances in medicine over the last 25 years. St. Francis Hospital in Evanston deserves recognition for all the work they have done in keeping these mutts alive."
Jonathan Faulkner made the same point, adding: "Does Fox even conduct unbiased reporting? I challenge you to do some real reporting..."
The University of Chicago researcher, upon whose crime analysis we based the original story on, said he understands why some may not believe violence has actually declined by about 50% citywide.
"There is good news," Daniel Hertz says. "It's good news for the city as a whole, that homicide is down about 50% and on the North Side all along the lakefront, crime is way down. The North Side is about as safe as Toronto. It's safer than New York City."

Pop Torture: Mother's Day
I watched Shortbus — graphic sex scenes and all — with the woman who gave me life.
By James Brady Ryan
Welcome to Pop Torture, in which I embrace my pop-culture masochism and search out the most painful ways to experience the movies, TV, and music that fill our lives with such ecstasy and agony. (Needless to say, I'll mostly be focusing on the latter.) Each week I'll take on a new challenge, and each week I'll share my adventures with you, provided I survive them.
The Challenge: To honor Mothers' Day by watching Shortbus, John Cameron Mitchell's non-simulated, jawdroppingly explicit sex dramedy, with my mother.
In college, my puritanical friends were horrified when they found out that my family watched Sex and the City together. But in truth, SatC is relatively tame for a comedy about doin' it, and it just never seemed weird. I can't really remember ever being grossed out by watching something with my parents.
But what if I tested the limits of my family's viewing tolerance? If there was ever a movie to do it, it's 2006's Shortbus. Intended to feature real, hardcore sex in a non-pornographic way, the film follows a group of flexible New Yorkers who are all connected through the titular sex-party/salon. All my mother knew of the film was that it was about lonely people. She was more than a little nonplussed when I informed her there was a lot of explicit sex and that it was all real.
"Well," she said after a moment, "I guess lonely people have to get it any way they can."
The Screening: Unfortunately for me, my mother, and my sanity, the movie starts off with a bang. Well, really the movie starts off with three bangs, each uncomfortable in its own unique way. One involves a married couple in about a thousand different positions. Another man, to put it diplomatically, contributes to a Jackson Pollock painting. The third guy achieves an auto-erotic feat of which most men can only dream. (There's that flexibility I was talking about.) We were exactly three minutes and thirty seconds into the film when my mother put her hand on the remote. "Oh, I don't know..."
She didn't finish her thought, but I'm sure I could fill it in. "I don't know... if I can keep watching," perhaps. "I don't know... how this got made," was also a possible. "I don't know... what I did wrong when I raised you," maybe the strongest contender. All I could do was assure my mother that the opening is the most shocking part, and promise that once we made it through she would actually find the film very heartwarming, very thoughtful, and a beautiful exploration of how isolated one can feel even in a city of millions.
"Oh, lovely, they've involved a piano," she said in response.
I wasn't lying when I said the opening is the most shocking part, but it's not because the movie gets any less explicit. To my mind, as we get to know the characters and their feelings and their stories, the sex scenes lose some of their shock value. And this did hold true, for a little while. Once you've watched a man fellate himself, it's hard to get very frazzled over some plain old masturbation. (I'm pretty sure Mark Twain said that.)
But there was one scene waiting for us that I knew it would be just as bad as the opening, if not worse — specifically, a gay three-way featuring a spirited rendition of the national anthem sung into someone's ass. There is no way to sugarcoat this. During other scenes, I could provide myself with a bit of distance by thinking, Oh, those crazy straight people and their sex antics! I know nothing of this! But there was no escaping this scene, because these were my people. I blushed furiously. I could not look at the screen. I thought about blinding myself with a broken beer bottle, but that just got me thinking about Oedipus.
"I think I'll get you and your mother some more to drink," said my father, rising from the corner of the room where he had immersed himself in a gardening book.
The Results: I would like to state for the record that I love my mother. (Of course, so did Norman Bates.) She is an intelligent, mature woman whom I greatly respect, and when I asked her opinion of the film once it was blessedly over, she didn't disappoint. "This was a serious film. It was very disturbing. Not because of the sex, but the depth of the need in the characters. And I think it was very sad." And what about the experience of watching it with me, her son? "I'd say that was very sad as well."
In the end, getting through this film required several glasses of wine, a bottle or four of beer, and at least three cigarette breaks. It also required what I would call a healthy amount of dissociation and at least three feet of space at all times between me and my mother. Because we are both adults, we were able to make it through to the end without jumping out a window in a fit of white-hot embarrassment, but let me say this: no one can ever — ever — question my family's enjoyment of Sex and the City again. Because I have seen the true face of awkwardness, and it looks like a man singing into an erect penis as if it were a microphone. Happy Mothers' Day!

Commentarium (20 Comments)
yikes. that is rough.
My stepdad and I both liked "serious" movies when I was in high school and college and ended up watching Mulholland Drive together. I thought sitting absolutely silently through the masturbation scene was pretty awkward, but you have conquered new heights of awkwardness.
Loved this. You guys look like you are really sweating in that picture, was it the movie or the weather?
Your writing is always such a joy to read. I know that sounds a little strange but I can't think of another way to put it. Loved this.
The first time I watched "A Clockwork Orange" I was about 15 and with my dad. I had no idea what it was about, just that it was a '70s classic and I was in love with the decade. So awkward....
oh my god YOU ARE A CHAMPION!
Shortbus is one of my all time favorite movies, but I could never imagine watching it with my Mother. I get weirded out if people are just making out on tv when she's in the room!
You are very, very brave man. Thanks for doing this and then gleefully sharing it with the rest of us!
I had two horrible film experiences with my family when I was in high school ... watching "Ninja Scroll" with my 13 year-old brother, and watching "Pink Floyd's The Wall" with my parents and grandmother. For the record: I come from a fairly conservative family, and each of the times I was planning on watching the movie by myself (without knowing how explicit it got) when my brother/parents and grandma mentioned that they'd heard that was good, so "why don't we watch it together on the big screen in the living room?"
One time my dad and I watched American Beauty together when I was a bit older. We had no real idea of what it was about. When he guffawed during the masturbation scene (The main character states his day is downhill from masturbating in the shower in the morning). UGH. UGH. UGH. Watching Shortbus would KILLLLLL ME.
Wow. That was seriously a brave thing to do with your mom and you both deserve medals. I remember when I was sixteen watching "Unbearable Lightness of Being" with my parents and had to walk out after 5 minutes, saying I could not watch it with them in the room. That was over 20 years ago, and I still can't imagine ever watching it with them.
Your mom looks like a hot lesbian.
More mother torture to be found here: http://notes-from-mother.blogspot.com
I remember watching The Ice Storm with family. Fortunately my grandmother got bored and left in the beginning.
Oh man. I could never watch Shortbus with my family, despite it being one of my favourites ever. They were good enough to watch Hedwig with me and actually make an effort to enjoy it. However, my dad is a HUGE Sook-Yin Lee fan. She was almost fired from CBC radio, where she has a really awesome show, because of her involvement in this project. My dad thought that was completely fucked up. "Jesus Christ, it's just sex." were his words. Go team dad.
I can't even imagine, I watched this at home and kept thinking "I should close the blinds". Yeesh.
Okay to be fair when my brother discovered that I was watching SatC he e-mailed my dad to tell him that he was "concerned" about me, his twenty year old sister...I couldn't even let them see the boxes let alone watch the show, I wish I could watch it with my mom because I think she'd like it.
So yeah, I'm not the puritan...
My mom wanted to watch Spanking the Monkey with me because she thought it was about a nice mother/son relationship. I had to talk her out of it without bringing up the real reason why we shouldn't watch it...
I just puked a little bit in my mouth.

Eh. I said too much. Just wanted to set the record straight on why I bothered to even mention the crossings from Iberia.
Hannibal didn't revere Melqart as much as he revered Baal; his name means "grace of Baal" in Punic. His father Hamilcar was "brother of Melqart". Melkar was mentioned because Hamilcar Barca built Cartago Novo, and since he is brother of Melqart, the city would be sacred to Melqart. Hence references to Iberia.
Oy. And I thought that Hindenburg had a bad case of the senile when he thought the Nazi celebrations on January 30th were commemorating the capture of Paris...
I think it's safe to say this has wandered well off the Kaiserreich path into totally uncharted waters.
Nah nah nah.
No vandal wives for the Greeks = Byzant survives!
Hannibal was highly associated with Melqart though to the extent that coins with Melqart on are thought to have used Hannibal as the sitter for the portrait - but I'm not disputing your Baal primacy connection.
Anyway, it's nice to have such a ferociously intelligent reader who isn't afraid to stand up and contribute. Thank you.
@c0d5579 - Yup. But the difference is that these gods are very old... and very real.
@Enewald - the middle ages might be a bit different, but I'm no master modder... If you Are one... then perhaps we can go totally parallel. Though HOW we are going to bring it back to Kaiserreich modern day I can imagine quite easily, though I shouldn't say too much.
@All What update do you want next? Berlin and Xavier, or Further Petainian Scheming?

''Nothing is true, everything is permitted'' - Alamut
The Stadtschloss, Berlin, July 29th, 1935.
Kaiser Wilhelm the Second of Germany looked out the window of his palace over the ornamental garden that grew below it. He heard the movements behind him of the various guards snapping their heels and opening and closing doors. He took a pipe and lit it, taking a slow inhalation as finally the door to the room was opened and the orderly spoke. "Francis Xavier, Duke of Parma and Piacenza, Claimant to the Throne of Spain and Burgundy."
Wilhelm turned and regarded the pretender to the throne. That latest claim was... interesting to say the least. He took a puff on the oddly simple pipe considering the vast amount of baroque work that filled the room and defined the building. "Guten tag, Xavier. Normally I would not give a personal meeting to a person such as yourself. You look more like a businessman than a king. However you have, piqued my interest. I assume you are here to speak to me, about this Burgundy business? The house of Bourbon hasn't claimed that title for centuries."
Xavier had bowed upon being spoken to, and took the slight about his suit in his stride, his hands held neatly infront of him as he replied to the Kaiser. "It is felt that the destabilising effect of France upon the continent would be nullified by the installation of three Kingdoms or so, Brittany/Normandy, Aquitaine and Burgundy. I am certain you would perhaps wish to install Princelings of your own flesh and blood, however I find my claim to be more legal. Aside from this idea, there is the issue of North Africa."
Wilhelm regarded him silently for a moment and took another pull from the pipe, the bowl of tobacco glowing lowly. "Indeed... Fat Hermann has apparently been rather agitated by it. He's been making noises about taking the Portuguese Colonies and for once he appears to mean it. Anything to ensure that he thinks he'll be strong enough to take on the black cloud to his North."
Xavier nodded slightly. "It is of course known that Burgundy historically dealt with Carthage. The Pope has asked me to perform a repeat. The twilight over the African coast is perhaps what they once referred to as the Dark Miracle."
Wilhelm gestured with his pipe slightly dismissively. "And if it is? What is it that these miracles and legends, once dispelled have returned to us, just over a 400 years later. Are we to be seeing another Empty Chair, another Battle of Milan. Always something new out of Africa, the wags used to say. I understand your plan Xavier, but why have you come to me?"
Xavier smiled almost beatifically for a moment and then became deadly serious. "Quite simply sire, it is German troops who shall liberate Burgundy, and German backing that is required for any African adventures. We must move though, for history says that it took the Visigoths 300 years to prepare their move against Christendom, what with the war with the Turks. These New Carthaginians haven't got any wars to distract them. Worse. They have backers and they have much better technology. I think we have less than a decade."
Wilhelm nodded slowly. "I shall have to think on this Xavier. There is an apartment building on Gneisenau Strasse in Kreuzberg where you may spend your time. And Xavier. Try not to die like Temeraire."
Very interesting plot...

North of Genoa, 15th of July, 1477
Down in the distance by the burning buildings of Genoa, he could see Visigoth flags flying beneath what he thought, though the distance was deceptive, were gilded Eagles that glittered in the setting sun. He swore under his breath and looked at the small contingent of mercanaries that he was currently the Captain of.
Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem because they weren't under contract if it had just been them, but right now there they were escorting some German Nob south and this is what they saw when they crested the hill towards the end of the day.
He saw couriers riding off. "Shit. That means more than one beachhead. Probably got outriders too."
The young knight seemed impetuous as he rode up beside him. "What is the delay... we should be engaging the Carthaginians!"
"Sir, each one of those Eagles is a Legio Standard. There's over 6000 men down there. There's 25 of us. If it's not a problem, I'd rather like to turn around."
The sound of hooves travelling rapidly closer became an immediate part of their senses and the Captain wheeled his horse "Right you horrible lot. You've fought Visigoths before, but we're not the whole group and we're not being paid to do this! So Ride!" He kicked his horse hard in the ribs. A moment later he found the young knight riding by him...
If Visigoths managed to survive...
What of the Iberian peninsula?
No Spanic kingdoms?
So, another question for you. The Americas, Petainian Plots, Or More of Iberia?

People with type 2 diabetes who use insulin to help control elevated blood sugar might be able to end their dependence on it if new research progresses.
According to the results of a new study, researchers have determinedthat the lack of neuraminidase 1 (Neu1), a protein that regulates the body's absorption of blood sugar, plays a part in insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Glucose requires insulin in order to penetrate the body's cells and provide the energy those cells need in order to function. Neu1 helps determine whether or not that particular action can occur by controlling sialic acid, a substance that when overproduced coats the surface of the cells, making it difficult for glucose to penetrate.
Essentially, not enough Neu1, combined with too much sialic acid, limits cells' ability to absorb glucose from the blood, and results in insulin resistance.
The overproduction of sialic acid has also been linked to certain cancers, according to other studies.
"If we can remove sialic acid residues from the cell surface, this will force the insulin receptor do its job of absorbing blood sugar properly. This could give doctors an opportunity to reduce the use of insulin therapy, and might help to reduce the diabetes epidemic," said Dr. Alexey Pshezhetsky, a researcher at the Montreal Diabetes Research Center who headed the study.
Pshezhetsky and his colleagues are now working to find ways to restore Neu1 levels in diabetics, so blood sugar can be absorbed properly.
Their research appeared in a recent issue of the American Diabetes Association journal Diabetes.

- 2008 Mt. George Merlot 93 pts
Robert Whitely
Silverado has always had a deft hand with merlot, embracing the grape and treating it with the respect other vintners in the neighborhood reserve for cabernet sauvignon. This Silverado merlot from the winery's Mt. George Vineyard is a beautiful Napa Valley red wine at a relatively modest price for its pedigree. Even at five years of age this is a remarkably firm Napa Valley merlot, with abundant tannins that support a core of ripe dark berry fruit. It has just the right touch of oak, adding spice without astringency. Rating: 93.

- 2012 Miller Ranch Sauvignon Blanc - 91 pts
Robert Whitley
"Silverado has long produced one of California's finest sauvignons, largely because it was among the first to take the grape seriously...The Silverado sauvignon has a different personality from those made in its formative years...but the evolution has been a good one. This vintage from Silverado offers intense grapefruit/citrus on the nose, with a touch of fig and lemon grass. It is crisp on the palate, and delivers a slightly tart finish that is typical of the grape variety and a wonderful foil for savory tapas and cheeses. 91 Pts"

This petition closed 5 months ago
On January 3, 2013, star AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng walked off the pitch during a friendly match against Pro Patria in Italy because of racist taunting. His teammates, along with every member of the Pro Patria team, joined him in walking off and terminating the match in the first half.
Boateng's action, and those of AC Milan, are subject to a fine because of UEFA chief Michael Platini's stance that any team or player that terminates a match in protest of racism can be fined. This needs to change and a new strategy needs to be implemented that supports players and teams for their actions.

I suspected that there were more 2nd cousins out there: In my great-grandmother's obit, I counted the number of great-grandchildren, of which I'm one.
One big reason I started this blog is so that cousins and other relatives could find me--and now Cousin Lois has done just that. We're excitedly exchanging family stories and talking over old times. I'm delighted to catch up with Lois's news and learn, through her, about more cousins scattered around the country. Wonder of wonders, Lois even has some treasured heirlooms that belonged to our great-grandpa.
So many cousins to meet, so many stories to tell, so many family connections to make. Here's to great cousin connections!

Daily Fantasy Diagnosis: 2.11.11
by Jason on Feb.11, 2011, under Quick hits
[Read the full post at DimeMag.com]
Beast of the Night: Chauncey Billups posted 30 points, five rebounds, nine assists, three steals, a block and five three-pointers. He shot 53 percent (10-19) from the field, 100 percent (5-5) from the free-throw line and had three turnovers. This was especially good to see given that he missed the game before this with a knee injury, which appears to have been minor now. Trade possibilities aside, Billups has worked past his early-season struggles to be a top-25 fantasy player once again.

Pau Gasol: 8-13 FG (62%), 4-6 FT (67%), 20 Pts, 10 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Blk
