Arsene Wenger: My message to the angry Arsenal fans
"You do not want to play in a negative environment"
Arsene Wenger
"I want our fans to be happy and when they are not, it affects me," Wenger said.
"You do not want to play in a negative environment.
"We are responsible for the performance of the team and it is true that, at the moment, it is not a highlight.
"I hope in the next years, Arsenal will always play in the top three and, hopefully, people won't get disenchanted."

Real Stories From Real Patients
Her office was awesome, the staff friendly and the Dr. took her time with me. I would highly recommend her.
– Patient Review about Dr. Fernandes on Healthgrades.com
I would highly recommend Dr. Marler and his staff. He is professional and caring, takes time to explain options available to you. He is pleasant and not rushed. His staff is very nice and helpful as well. They were very accommodating with me and treated me with kindness and professionalism with each visit. Highly recommend!!
– Patient Review on Vitals.com
Dr. Marler was amazing :) I was in the hospital for ruptured cyst. Dr. Marler was highly recommended from another patient. He was very clear in telling me what was wrong, what he needed to do to fix the problem, and what to expect after. He performed the surgery and was there when I woke up. The best part is when we finally figured out what the problem was, he insisted how important it was, but then gave me the choice to have him do the surgery or someone else if I wasn't comfortable. Dr. Marler just all around has it. From his knowledge for patient care, to bedside manner, He Is The BEST! Thank you Dr. Marler!!!

Ocean and Climate Systems
The climate in Antarctica is also unique, linked as it is to the extreme conditions of the land and sea below the troposphere (the inner region of the atmosphere, up to between 11 and 16 kilometers). This ocean/atmosphere environment defines and constrains the marine biosphere, and in turn has a dynamic relationship with the global ocean and with weather all over the planet. Few major energy exchanges on Earth can be calculated without factoring in these essential antarctic phenomena. As such, they are both an indicator and a component of climate change.
The Ocean and Climate Systems program sponsors research that will improve understanding of the high-latitude oceanic environment, including the global exchange of heat, salt, water, and trace elements; there is also an emphasis on sea-ice dynamics, as well as the dynamic behavior and atmospheric chemistry of the troposphere. Major program elements include:
Physical oceanography: The dynamics and kinematics of the polar oceans; the interaction of such forces as wind, solar radiation, and heat exchange; water-mass production and modification processes; ocean dynamics at the pack-ice edge; and the effect of polynyas on ventilation.
Chemical oceanography: The chemical composition of sea water and its global differentiation, reactions among chemical elements and compounds in the ocean, fluxes of material within ocean basins and at their boundaries, and the use of chemical tracers to oceanic processes across a range of temporal and spatial scales.
Sea-ice dynamics: The material characteristics of sea-ice, from the individual crystal level to the large-scale patterns of freezing, deformation, and melting.
Meteorology: Atmospheric circulation systems and dynamics, including the energy budget; atmospheric chemistry; transport of atmospheric contaminants to the antarctic; and the role of large and mesoscale systems in the global exchange of heat, momentum, and trace constituents.
Monitoring Antarctic Bottom Water.
The Antarctic Bottom Water is the coldest (and therefor the densest) natural water to be found on Earth, created as ice shelves melt into seawater and sink to the bottom. It occurs in the nether regions of the Southern Ocean, separated from the world's great oceans to the north by the Polar Front water that provides a virtual barrier to the heat transfer from those more temperate and less stormy waters.
The global importance of Antarctic Bottom Water is linked to its subsequent long journey across the ocean floor to the Northern Hemishphere. The patterns and strengths of this current are crucial to the heat balance of the global ecosystem, for this process provides crucial oxygen to those seas, as well as reducing their temperature to nearly ºC.
This project monitors the outflow of Antarctic Bottom Water from the Weddell Sea into the Scotia Sea, as it begins its journey northward. (OO-124-O)
Longwave radiation processes on the antarctic plateau.
Long-wave radiation [also called infrared (IR) or thermal radiation] is an important component in the energy balance of the atmosphere. On the antarctic continent radiation processes dominate the surface energy budget. In summer the balance is made up of four terms primary solar energy in two forms (incoming and reflected short-wave radiation), and both emitted and reflected long-wave radiation. In austral winter after the sun sets, the short-wave terms fall to zero. The emitted long-wave radiation varies with temperature; thus the radiation balance at the surface determines the surface temperature.
This project entails an experimental study of long-wave radiation processes near the surface at South Pole station. We are developing instrumentation capable of high resolution measurements of the IR fluxes at the snow surface a so-called Fourier Transform Interferometer that will be deployed in late 1999 and operated through the following austral winter. Supporting observations will also be made of the temperature and moisture profiles in the lower atmosphere, and of ice crystals in the atmospheric boundary layer.
The research also includes several experiments concerning the emission characteristics of snow, of ice crystals in the atmosphere, and of greenhouse gases near the surface. Determining the concurrent environmental conditions (such as cloud-base altitude, temperature and humidity-structure), and the sizes and concentrations of ice crystals, will contribute to the newly developing climatology of cloud properties, and should substantially improve how radiation processes are represented in general circulation models. (OO-201-O)
Antarctic Meteorological Research Center: 1996-2000.
The Antarctic Meteorological Research Center (AMRC) is one of three research centers in the Science and Engineering Technology Center at McMurdo Station. It is a major center for meteorological research, and an ongoing experiment to improve operational synoptic (simultaneous atmospheric conditions/weather over a broad area) forecasting.
AMRC relies primarily on the Man-Computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS), a versatile computer-based system for organizing, manipulating, and integrating antarctic environmental data. It captures the flow of meteorological information from polar-orbiting satellites, automatic weather stations (AWS), operational station synoptic observations, and research project reports. McIDAS also receives weather forecasts and other environmental data products from outside Antarctica, and acts as a repository for existing archived databases.
Developed at the University of Wisconsin in the mid-1970s, McIDAS receives meteorological data from various sources: Standard synoptic observations, radiosonde profiles, satellite-based visible and infrared imagery, atmospheric profiles inverted from multispectral scanning sensors, and nonstandard data such as thematic ozone mapping spectrometer (TOMS) data, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sea-ice information, and the AWS network observations. The system automatically registers, calibrates, and locates (by geographical coordinates) the input information, providing work station access to the combined database. Features available to the work station operator include: Sectorization, false color, enhancements, brightness stretching, overlays, looping, and differencing all specifically keyed to synoptic meteorological research and weather forecasting. Because the look angles from geostationary satellites are so low, McIDAS relies primarily on data streams from the polar orbiters (AVHRR/HRPT and DMSP).
To fully use the power of McIDAS to produce meteorological data in the service of forecasting and research, data links to facilitate communications have been established with a number of scientific weather facilities world-wide; for example:
Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABOM)
University of Wisconsin Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC)
Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC) in Monterey, California
European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMRWF) in Reading, U.K. (OO-202-O)
Atmospheric oxygen variability in relation to annual-to-decadal variations
in terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
Oxygen is the most abundant element on the Earth. Airborne, it comprises about a fifth of the atmosphere. But much of the Earth's oxygen exists in water, rocks and minerals, and of course in flora and fauna who recycle it directly and as carbon dioxide through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.
Thus scientists are interested in measuring the concentration of molecular oxygen and carbon dioxide in air samples. This project is part of sample collections being made at a series of baseline sites around the world. The data should help to improve estimates of the processes whereby oxygen is cycled throughout the global ecosystem, specifically:
net exchange rates of carbon dioxide with biota on land and in the oceans,
photosynthesis rates, and
atmospheric mixing rates.
An important part of the measurement program entails developing absolute standards for oxygen-in-air, to ensure stable long-term calibration. We also are conducting surveys of the oxidative oxygen/carbon ratios of both terrestrial- and marine-based organic carbon, hoping to improve the quantitative basis for linking the oxygen and carbon dioxide geochemical cycles.
These results are needed to enhance our understanding of the processes that regulate the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They should also contribute to our understanding of the change processes especially climate change that regulate ecological functions on land and in the sea. (OO-204-O)
Chlorine- and bromine-containing trace gases in the antarctic.
Airborne trace constituents in atmospheric gases come from both biogenic and anthropogenic sources. Scientists monitor them closely, as they have been implicated in depletion of the ozone layer over Antarctica as well as other alterations of the Earth's climate.
This study will investigate the seasonal trend of trace gas concentrations by collecting a year-long suite of air samples at Palmer Station. Samples will subsequently be analyzed at the Oregon Graduate Center for a number of trace components, especially chlorine- and bromine-containing species.
This work should contribute to a better understanding of the buildup of trace constituents, particularly those of high-latitude marine origin. (OO-254-O)
South Pole monitoring for climate change: Amundsen-South Pole Station.
James T. Peters, Environmental Research Laboratories, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. (OO-264-O)
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been engaged in studies to determine and assess the long-term buildup of global pollutants in the atmosphere. The NOAA Climate Monitoring and Diagnostic Laboratory team will continue long-term measurements of trace atmospheric constituents that influence climate and the ozone layer.
These measurements will be enable time-series analyses of multiyear data records. Phenomena of particular interest are:
seasonal and temporal variations in greenhouse gases,
stratospheric ozone depletion,
transantarctic transport and deposition,
the interplay of the trace gases and aerosols with solar and terrestrial radiation fluxes on the polar plateau, and
the development of polar stratospheric clouds over Antarctica.
Four scientists will work from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station observatory during the austral summer, and two NOAA personnel will stay over the winter (working from the Atmospheric Research Observatory) to measure carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, aerosols, chlorofluorocarbons, and other trace constituents. Concurrent measurements will be made of water vapor, surface and stratospheric ozone, wind, pressure, air and snow temperatures and atmospheric moisture. Other personnel at Palmer Station also will collect carbon dioxide samples in support of this project.
These measurements will allow us to determine the rates at which concentrations of these atmospheric constituents change, and will suggest likely sources, sinks, and budgets. Our work also includes collaborating with climate modelers and diagnosticians to determine how the rates of change of these parameters affect climate.
Drake Passage expendable bathythermograph program.
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is a powerful force that drives waters in the Southern Ocean; four times as fast as the Gulf Stream, for example. Wherever the distance between Antarctica and other continents is narrowed so-called chokepoints such as The Drake Passage off the tip of South America and the sea regions between Antarctica and the Cape of Good Hope and Tasmania, respectively the current is even stronger. Scientists deploy bottom pressure gauges and similar instruments to determine the fluctuations in the transport of the ACC, and to relate it to those in the subtropical and subpolar gyres and to the wind field over the southern oceans.
Specifically since 1996, scientists in this research project have collected data to characterize the water mass variability in the Drake Passage, to describe temperature and circulation variability in the Southern Ocean, and to define the role of the Southern Ocean in the global climate system. This season, using a high-density expendable bathythermograph (XBT), we will make expendable current/temperature/depth (XCTD) observations to measure the seasonal and year-to-year temperature fluctuations in the upper ocean within the Drake Passage.
To clearly describe inter-annual and seasonal changes in upper-ocean temperature, we need closely-spaced, underway XBT and XCTD measurements to be made on every Laurence M. Gould cruise throughout the year. As the ship crosses the Drake Passage, approximately 60 XBT profiles and 12 XCTD profiles (measuring salinity) are made, beginning and ending at the 200 meter bathymetric contour on either side of the passage. XBT casts are spaced approximately 1 hour apart, although sampling is more frequent across the Subantarctic, Polar, and ACC fronts, as the water temperature changes more rapidly in these regions. (OO-260-O)
Katabatic winds in eastern Antarctica and their interaction with sea
Katabatic winds are driven by the flow of cold dense air down a mountain or glacier slope, especially in regions subject to radiational cooling of the Earth's surface. These winds can drive the sea ice offshore and are responsible for extremely high heat fluxes from the ocean to the atmosphere. They are also implicated in the formation of polynyas areas of open ocean within sea ice. This project continues an international collaboration (France, Australia and the United States) to study katabatic winds along the coast of Antarctica.
A number of weather stations collect data: One newly installed station 15 kilometers inland is sited at a point where atmospheric wind models predict extremely high average wind speeds; two other strings of existing automatic weather stations will continue to collect data; one that runs from France's Dumont d'Urville station inland to Dome C, at an altitude of some 3,200 meters; the other string runs along the coast, including stations at Cape Denison and Port Martin, an area where the highest average surface wind speeds on Earth have been recorded a monthly average of 27.8 meters per second.
Project scientists hope to produce a numerical model of the structure of the region's atmosphere, which will incorporate a more detailed terrain map as well as a new mesoscale model developed by French scientists. Another goal is to analyze the formation, persistence and size of offshore polynyas as a function of wind speed; data from satellite-based active microwave imagery (synthetic aperture radar) will be combined with the observed meteorological data in that analysis. A final application of this work is to enlarge the body of information being collected by Australian and Japanese station networks (to the west of these stations) in hopes of assessing the influence of cyclonic storm systems on the drainage flow along the coast. (OO-263-O)
Circumpolar deep water and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) is a relatively warm water mass (+1.0ºC or warmer) found on the outer edge of the continental shelf; normally it is confined by an oceanic front that provides a barrier to the colder and saltier waters of the shelf. In the Amundsen Sea, for example, the deeper parts of the continental shelf are filled with nearly undiluted CDW. The temperature gradient causes this CDW to mix upward and deliver significant amounts of heat both to the base of floating glacier tongues and to the ice shelf. As a consequence, the melt rate beneath the Pine Island Glacier averages ten meters (m) of ice per year, and some specific local areas lose twenty m. By comparison, typical melt rates beneath the Ross Ice Shelf cost it only twenty to forty centimeters of ice per year.
This project focuses on the dynamics of CDW on the Amundsen Sea shelf, specifically in the regions of the Pine Island and Thwaites Glaciers, and the Getz Ice Shelf. Both the Pine Island and Thwaites Glaciers move very fast, and have a major influence on the regional ice mass balance of West Antarctica.
Specifically, we hope to:
delineate the frontal structure of the continental shelf sufficiently to measure the major routes of CDW inflow, meltwater outflow, and the westward evolution of CDW influence;
use that data set to validate a three-dimensional model (currently under construction) of sub-ice ocean circulation; and
refine the estimates of in situ melting on the mass balance of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
This research should help to elucidate antarctic glaciology by assessing the combined effect of global change on the antarctic environment. The observational program will be carried out from the research ship Nathaniel B. Palmer in February and March, 2000. (OO-274-O)
Operation of an aerosol sampling system at Palmer Station.
The Environmental Measurements Laboratory [(EML); a unit of the U.S. Department of Energy based in New York City] installed an array of instruments at Palmer Station in 1990: A high-volume aerosol sampler, a gamma-ray spectrometer, and a link to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's ARGOS satellite system. Sampling data from Antarctica contributes to EML's Remote Atmospheric Measurements Program, part of its worldwide surface-air sampling program. (OO-275-O)
Particulate organic carbon production and export in the Indian sector
of the Southern Ocean: A United States-China collaborative research project.
The Polar Front Zone, where the cold, dense waters of the antarctic meet the warmer waters of the northern oceans, is subject to major currents and water displacements beneath the sea. Each austral spring, phytoplankton bloom in this region. Scientists believe the blooms are driven by nutrient transport brought to the surface, as intermediate and deep water masses are ventilated. Each year, the theory goes, such blooms are the primary source of particulate organic carbon (POC) and biogenic silica flux to the ocean bottom. But the theory remains to be tested, as no data exist on the amount of particulate organic matter that is sinking through the water column. Without such quantitative measurements in this region, the hypothesized relationships between biomass production and the currents must remain undefined.
As part of a collaboration between the University of Maine and the Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition (CINARE), we will study the biological production and export flux of biogenic matter in response to ventilation of intermediate and deep water masses within the Polar Front Zone. The shipboard work will be done aboard the Chinese antarctic resupply vessel, working off Prydz Bay in the Indian Ocean sector.
The initial phase of our work consists of setting out a time-series sediment-trap mooring at approximately 64S 73E. The biweekly-to-monthly trap samples will be analyzed for their organic constituents and, in conjunction with primary productivity observations, will provide the basic data from which export values can be derived. Data gathered in this effort will be enhanced by the historical dataset that CINARE has obtained in this area over the past decade.
Our work will be carried out in collaboration with the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition. In addition to providing time on the antarctic resupply vessel, the SOA will sponsor the primary productivity experiments on board ship and will provide the supporting hydrographic measurements. The collaborating American scientists will provide the hardware for the moored sediment trap and will bring their expertise in making these observations to standards developed for the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study. All samples and data will be shared between the U.S. and Chinese investigators, and the data analysis will be carried out jointly. (OO-278-O)
Antarctic automatic weather station program: 1998-2001.
A network of nearly 50 automatic weather stations (AWS) has been established on the antarctic continent and several surrounding islands. These facilities were built to measure surface wind, pressure, temperature and humidity; further, some of them also track other atmospheric variables, such as snow accumulation and incident solar radiation.
Their data are transmitted via satellite to a number of ground stations, and put to several uses: Operational weather forecasting, accumulation of climatological records, general research purposes, and specific support of the U.S. Antarctic Program. The AWS network has grown from a small-scale program in 1980 into a significant data retrieval system that is now extremely reliable, and has proven indispensable for both forecasting and research purposes. This project maintains and augments the AWS, as necessary. (OO-283-M and OO-283-P)
Shipboard acoustic doppler current profiling on Nathaniel B. Palmer
and Lawrence M. Gould.
Currents in the Southern Ocean have a profound influence on the world's oceans and therefor upon global temperature and the planet's ecosystem yet some remote regions receive little scientific attention. Using doppler (sound wave transmission and reflection) technology, this project is exploring upper ocean current velocities and will try to generate a quality-controlled data set in one such sparsely sampled and remote region a region which nonetheless appears to play a significant role in global ocean circulation. We will develop and maintain a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) program on board the Nathaniel B. Palmer and the Laurence M. Gould, two research ships operated by the United States Antarctic Program.
This work is part of a long-term science goal to characterize the temporal and spatial velocity structure in the Southern Ocean. This will entail measuring the seasonal and annual changes in upper ocean currents within the Drake Passage, combining this information with similar temperature observations, and exploring how the heat exchange varies and how it drives upper ocean currents. (OO-315-O)
The influence of hydrothermal discharge on coastal ocean dissolved
iron concentrations at Deception Island, Antarctica.
Iron plays a crucial role, along with some other trace elements, in fueling biological production. Over large parts of the Southern Ocean inorganic nutrients are under-utilized because (scientists believe) some trace element is insufficient, most probably iron. Yet some shallow regions, within the Bransfield Strait for example, show productivity 50 to 60 times as great as that in the open ocean, where iron is presumed to be abundantly available.
One direct way of probing this problem is to examine specific sources of iron. There is a drowned and breached volcanic crater at Deception Island, Antarctica; might the hydrothermal discharge from this underwater feature provide sufficient dissolved iron to support the regional primary productivity in the ocean?
This study will trace the discharge volume, its iron concentration, and the flushing rate of the crater during a cruise of Laurence M. Gould in November 1999. Since the scientific mission on that cruise is devoted to the study of how pelagic and benthic communities respond to the seasonal variations in the sea ice cover, it will provide a valuable context for the iron study. (OO-319-O)
Record of atmospheric photochemistry in firn at South Pole.
Scientists are eager to develop models that will expand their knowledge of current, active dynamic processes into the past. One such process vital to the Earth is photochemistry, how the sun's radiant energy affects conversion of oxygen in the atmosphere. By measuring and interpreting the hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde, and nitric acid concentrations in the snow and firn at South Pole station, we hope to develop a credible history of the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere over the last two centuries. We also hope to evaluate methods that will confirm statistically significant changes in the concentration of these species over that time.
South Pole station is ideal for this work: The extreme cold makes the chemistry relatively simple; the NOAA Climate Modeling and Diagnostics Laboratory provides a context of high quality meteorological and chemical data; and the station is staffed continuously so that samples can be taken year-round.
We will sample air and near-surface snow throughout the year; during the summer, we will sample and analyze snow pits and firn cores, and will model the air/snow chemistry to try to explain the observed concentrations in the firn. Also in summer, we will sample two snow pits around the perimeter of the snow stake field intensively (for accumulation observations), a process that will establish markers to maintain time control for stratigraphic and chemical horizons.
During earlier work at South Pole and in central Greenland, we have developed and tested physically-based models of air snow exchange of hydrogen peroxide. This project extends that work. (OO-324-O)

Recollections on Sri Chinmoy: How Guru opened the 2004 Marathon
Expand Messages
- I remember, in 2004, at the start of the 2004 marathon, I was standing very close to Guru when he offered the opening meditation. He stood on a small, slightly raised wooden platform, with his arms crossed over his chest, his knees a little bent. It was a little chilly, so I think he wore an overcoat. His eyes were half open when he started meditating. Then his eyes started rolling up and up and began flickering. He entered into a deep state of meditation, a trance, I can't really fathom. He nodded slightly from time to time and rocked a little bit back and forth. I was standing practically right in front of him, just a few feet away!
I looked at him meditating, and I felt myself enter into some kind of altered state of consciousness. I mean, sometimes when I looked at him, he seemed to be wearing a turban. But then I blinked my eyes and I noticed that no, his head was completely bare. Also, from time to time, I would see through Guru, I would see the trees and cars directly behind him. Then I would blink my eyes and his body regained its normal solidity and reality. It was the kind of meditation that goes beyond almost anything I had ever experienced.
And the thing was, the more deeply he entered into this state, the more humble he became! It seemed like he just became a little child, surfing and skipping over the waves of some infinite ocean. And at other times, his whole human personality seemed to disappear completely. He became the infinite ocean itself, just a vast rolling plane of undifferentiated consciousness, vast and extended.
Then he nodded a little and asked one of his attendants a simple question, like if someone was here and the guard answered yes. And Guru folded his hands and very, very seriously and soulfully gave the following prayer:
Today's marathon
Is a unique
And God-Manifestation
In the physical-body-world.
He said it very softly, so that only the people who were very close to him could hear.
Then I think he smiled and began clapping and we all started running. It was a difficult marathon for me, but I finished in pretty good time. But I will never forget that opening meditation.
- Thank you Mahiruha, for sharing another wonderful story and experience!
"And the thing was, the more deeply he entered into this state, the more humble he became! It seemed like he just became a little child, surfing and skipping over the waves of some infinite ocean. And at other times, his whole human personality seemed to disappear completely. He became the infinite ocean itself, just a vast rolling plane of undifferentiated consciousness, vast and extended." - what a description!
I might read out this post at the end of our Center meditation tonight, it is so fitting and inspiring. Last Sunday was the "famous", quite hilly Heidelberg Halfmarathon with 3500 international runners (http://sashalbmarathon.tsg78-hd.de/) where 12 disciples - 6 boys, 6 girls - participated under our team name (and one incognito). Samalya from Berlin placed 2nd overall(!!!!)and 1st for his age group, surprising disciples and organisers alike, Agnikana placed 6th for the girls, and our first girls team of Agnikana, Keertivati and Ankurika placed 7th (the boys teams were nowhere, because Samalya was the only fast runner).
So I am trying to inspire people already now to consider visiting Heidelberg and Pujaloy on the last weekend of April in 2014 to join in the fun of the Heidelberg Half-marathon world (Pujaloy will be open longer so people can run and meditate)! We might also have a music group to support the runners. The route is extremely scenic (and quite challenging), passing by Pujaloy, the castle, and also along the Philosopher`s path, where you can easily imagine a statue in the future ...
Here a link to the results
and some photos of our here:
this is the route:
Congratulations again to all the 10 day and 6 day heroes! And thank you for all the inspiring reports about it!

The Comic Mad Genius of Yannis Pappas
Yeh, we are a music blog, dont get it twis, every so often, we have to school you on some new hot film, a must have item, or in this case a real gem of a comedy event....
I'm sure some of you New Yorkers out there that aint been asleep over the last few years have heard of this guy. Introducting Yannis Pappas!! A real Brooklynite (born and bred, NOT FROM MANHATTAN OR IDAHO that is).
I'm not going to spend an hour on his bio. Take it from me, this guy is amazing and a real credit to the city from which he hails. If you want to find out more just check out his website for the full background.
I live in a predominantly Greek part of Queens and one day at my local barbers my friend put one of the many Yannis Pappas "Mr Panos" sketches on the youtube. It was wicked! I was dying, the whole room was too, and like so many things in comedy, it's so true to reality but yet so exaggerated in just the right ways to make it hysterically funny, reflective, poignant and just MADDDD!!! And just like the best comedy characters, they all have their own trade mark catch phrases.... And if you have been around me the last few weeks, you probably want to punch me in the face as I keep yelling... "Dassit!!!" or "Ballah!!!" and "Chinese Peepol!!!" at the end of every other sentence.
I then became hooked to Mr Panos, a character in the same comic tradition as Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat for example. Created by Yannis Pappas and based on a typical Greek New York diner owner, it struck a chord with me. I then discovered another few of his genius character creations.... most notably there's Mauricia Rodriguez, a transsexual Puerto Rican from the L.E.S. and then there's Brooklyn's The Sneaker Keeper.
Anyways, to conclude this post, you just gotta go check him out this November 10th. You can buy the tickets from Ticketmaster, just check his site for the correct links. It's rare to catch something so good in the early stages before it blows up, especially something so special to New York City. I mean, how long do you have to live here before you know a Mauricia?!??! a Mr Panos?!? or a Sneaker Keeper?!?!?? We all know them...you might even be one!!!
A massive bigup to Yannis Pappas.... creating and innovating in NYC!! Dont Sleep!

The remaining pieces from Rick Peterson's collection of seascape paintings still hang in his home, subtle reminders of a time and place when they were just about all he had.
Through his years as a self-described starving artist, Peterson would paint and read and sometimes fast in an attempt to clear his body and mind in a struggle to find the right line on his life.
Baseball coaches can seem born out of the diamond, carved from fungo bats, polished over the years like glove leather. Ask them when they decided to become coaches and they shrug, as if there was never really a choice.
Peterson remembers the day, the place and the moment. It was the starting point for a career that has taken him from minor league towns to major league cities, enabling him to advance the science of baseball and open the mind of an industry resistant to change.
Peterson, 49, is best known for developing a nucleus of young pitchers in Oakland who led the American League in earned run average the past two seasons. But perhaps more stunning is what the pitching coach has accomplished this season with an aging staff in New York, taking the Mets to the top of the major leagues in E.R.A. and helping them remain competitive despite an inconsistent defense and a relatively unproductive lineup.Continue reading the main story
This has all been in the works for more than the past 25 years, since the day Peterson woke up with an empty stomach and decided to take a walk on the beach.
At the time, he was living in an apartment in San Diego about the size of a freight elevator, just steps from the bustling boardwalk and raucous roller coaster on Mission Beach. He was collecting unemployment, gathering food stamps and working part time as a physical education instructor at a local elementary school for $60 a week.
On the other side of the country, his father, Harding Peterson, was assembling a team that would win the 1979 World Series and make ''We Are Family'' a civic theme song. Harding Peterson was the Pittsburgh Pirates' general manager, but his son was just another kid on the beach, promising his parents he could make it on his own.
Back then, Rick Peterson was a pitcher still laboring through the minor leagues every summer, but his arm was injured and his spirit was restless. He headed to San Diego in the winter of 1978, not for any reason other than that he was from New Jersey, and San Diego sounded like a place you could warm up and start over, even if you only had $1,000 in your savings account.
Outside of his dingy apartment, Peterson noticed a flier one day promoting a free seminar with a holistic chiropractor. He wondered if the chiropractor could somehow heal his ailing arm. After Peterson served as a volunteer at the seminar, he asked for a regular appointment. He paid with the only assets he had -- his Impressionist oil paintings of the ocean.
The chiropractor treated several professional athletes in San Diego and had many prescriptions, including a weeklong fast. Peterson would be allowed to eat raw fruits and vegetables at the start of the week, then only liquids. For a 23-year-old who was looking for something, and did not know exactly what, it was a suggestion worth trying.
As it turned out, that fast sped up the course of his career. Near the end of the week, he strolled out of his apartment and onto the sand. He has always been tightly built, a fitness fiend, but he was about 25 pounds lighter than normal because he had eaten so little solid food during the winter.
''I was walking on the beach and it was like an epiphany,'' Peterson said. ''I wasn't thinking about anything, but all the answers just came to me. You're a teacher. Go teach. Put on your uniform and go teach.''
For a while, he had wanted nothing to do with that uniform ever again. He had worn it since he was a child, when his father was playing for the Pirates and when he would go into the clubhouse thinking of Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell as uncles.
He was still wearing a uniform on what might have been the worst weekend of his career, nearly two decades later, when he threw 200 pitches in a game for Gulf Coast Community College in Florida, and was called to pitch in relief the next day. From then on, Peterson played with a tendon in his throwing arm that was detached from the bone.
He transferred to Jacksonville University the next year to study psychology and art, but he could still paint the corners of the plate and eventually graduated to the minor leagues with the Pirates, where he spent more time as a player-coach than as a player.
After one of his final pitching appearances as a regular player, he sat on the floor of a janitor's closet in Alexandria, Va., his arm resting in a dirty sink. The Pirates executive Murray Cook walked into the room, took one look at Peterson and said, ''I think that's it.''
Peterson spent a large portion of that night staring into a mirror in his hotel room, tears rolling down his cheeks, asking himself, ''So now what?''
''I didn't know what I was going to do?'' Peterson said. ''I was going through some serious soul-searching. I wanted to find my life's work and I didn't know what it was going to be.''
No matter how far he strayed from baseball -- into art and psychology and Eastern philosophy -- he could not leave it altogether.
When Cook offered him his first job with the Pirates as a minor league coach in 1979, not long after that winter in San Diego, Peterson made it his mission to use baseball as his platform, merging East with West, modern science with old-school hardball.
The game was not altogether ready for him. Even his father pushed him to be a doctor or a lawyer, fields better suited to a stable future. After spending over a decade with the Pirates and the Cleveland Indians, and bouncing from the minors to the majors, the Chicago White Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays hired Peterson in the mid-1990's, then fired him in the span of two years. Executives in Toronto said he was too advanced. People in Chicago wondered why he had pitchers throw with their eyes closed, even though the organization's most prominent minor leaguer, Michael Jordan, practiced free-throw shooting with his eyes closed.
''There were times then that I thought I'd be out of baseball,'' Peterson said. ''I was frustrated to the point where I didn't know anymore if anyone would let me do what I do.''
Peterson seemed to fit in better on the team at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Ala., a biomechanics lab where he first joined Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Glenn Flesig 15 years ago to analyze pitching motions, to identify trouble spots on the elbow and the shoulder and to evaluate methods to prevent pitching injuries, particularly in young people. Even now, Peterson has not allowed any of his three sons to pitch until they turn 15.
''I saw a real drive back then to use his brain as well as his experience,'' said Flesig, who still works regularly with Peterson. ''He wasn't another piece fitting into the system. Other pitching coaches were doing it their team's way, or the way it had been done for years. Rich was questioning that, not just accepting it. Talking to him is different than talking to other pitching coaches. I find it's more introspective and analytical.''
Peterson remained in baseball partly because he still hungered to improve it. The A's Billy Beane, already forging a reputation as a rebel general manager, fired the team's pitching coach, Bob Cluck, late in spring training of 1998, even though Cluck was best friends with Manager Art Howe. Beane then promoted Peterson, whom he had hired to be a roving instructor, and watched him cultivate the best young rotation in baseball, helping them avoid the sort of arm trouble that cut short his own career.
''It was a tough spot for Rick, but we hit it off right away,'' said Howe, who was also reared in Pittsburgh and has been reunited with Peterson in New York. ''I think he has always appreciated that I gave him the reins and let him do his job.''
Howe and Peterson can come across as complete opposites, one a mild-mannered traditionalist, the other a high-energy revolutionary. Peterson cannot be confined to the stadium, using his spare time to develop a baseball-specific laptop computer and a software program that computes data on every hitter. Peterson tells his pitchers what a given hitter is batting against 1-2 changeups on the inside corner of the plate, and what they should throw as a result.
''There's a reason why we have the best pitching staff in baseball,'' said Tom Glavine, who is making a bid for comeback player of the year. ''When you have a lot of veteran guys, people think they won't listen and buy in. That's not necessarily true. We're smart enough to realize that there are things we can do better, and Rick can teach us those things.''
Glavine remembers how Peterson gathered the Mets pitchers after a rare rough spot in Arizona this season and presented them with a bag of fortune cookies. Each pitcher took out a cookie and read his fortune. Instead of rolling their eyes, they started joking that their fortunes would change, and, sure enough, Glavine went out and beat Randy Johnson in a 1-0 masterpiece.
With his mound mantras, his running catch phrases and the motivational sayings that he keeps pasted in his celebrated black book, Peterson has been easy to parody over the years. But Mets pitchers, the only critics who really matter, have become almost protective of their new coach. Not only do they defend his practices, they resent any implication that he is some sort of baseball radical.
''What we've done in his first year is not a coincidence,'' Al Leiter said. ''His passion for what he does burns so hot, it's like a white flame. Sometimes I think it's frustrating for him because he wants everyone to have the same passion he does.''
Leiter is 38, pitching with a frayed labrum in his left shoulder and at that stage of his career when he is starting to wonder what he will do when it is over. He will undoubtedly have opportunities in television, business and politics, but someday soon, he too could be standing in front of a mirror, asking himself, ''So now what?''
Peterson, the coach who reminds Leiter to rotate his hips, keep his hands low and throw only changeups on 1-2 counts, can also help answer that eternal question.Continue reading the main story

If you still haven't taken your Christmas tree down and are clinging onto it like it's your last day on earth, listen up.
Today is the last day, officially, to take your festive decorations down before it becomes 'unlucky'. And, well, before your neighbours start seriously judging you.
According to the Twelfth Night tradition, people should have taken their decorations down by the twelfth night after Christmas - which some believe is 5 January and others believe is 6 January (depending on when they count from).
Twelfth Night is a Christian festival marking the coming of the Epiphany (6 Jan), which celebrates the revelation of baby Jesus to the world.
The 5 January, known as the 'night before Epiphany' is when - according to the Bible - the wise men visited the infant Jesus shortly after his birth.
While most people will have probably taken their trees down on 5 January (judging by the discarded trees on the pavement) if you still haven't taken your tree and decorations down, you've got until tonight to do so.
If you've got a real Christmas tree and you can't quite bare to leave it out in the middle of the street, cold and alone, there are a handful of ways to recycle it.
Environment and climate change charity Greenpeace recommends the following:
:: Re-plant it in the garden.
:: Drop it at your local garden centre. Some places will chip the trees and re-use the chippings throughout the year.
:: Donate your old tree to a conservation scheme.
:: Leave it with your garden waste collection.
Traditionally, it is meant to be unlucky to keep your decorations up past the 6 Jan. However, just between us, keeping your fairy lights up is perfectly acceptable.

"Failing to plan is planning to fail!" was a phrase commonly heard as far back as high school when speaking with my career counselor. As cliche? is the statement is, most business leaders will suggest that there is a great deal of merit to it, to the extent that most business leaders either a) have started thinking about writing a business plan, b) have started writing one or c) have one tucked away on a shelf that they haven't looked at, ever.
Business plans take too long to write, they are more of an academic process, they are impractical, they are only used to raise money when starting a business and most good business leaders don't need one, anyway, right? While there have been many the albatross thrown around the neck of the business plan, we hope to give you new perspective on creating a business plan and hope that you will engage in one for your business.
In this issue of "Had an Aepiphanni, Lately?" we are going to discuss the justification of the business plan, or why the heck we need one, anyway, and how you might implement one into your daily business without it becoming a burdensome exercise. Topics we will cover include:

Wednesday Words
To Go Where Your VisionPoints, a few inspiration points for you and your business.
We've got to get into the overall relationship business. If we sell tickets one-off and hot dogs one-off and soda one-off, then we're in trouble. I would think in a year and a half, people are going to come to our stadium and definitely notice a substantially different experience.
—Tod Leiweke, in Time Magazine Apr 2009
I love it! Tod Leiweke, CEO of the Seattle Seahawks, advocating a long-term relationship with your hot dog vendor, and Experience Design for football games, as an antidote to the economic downturn.
Think how much easier it'll be for you than for the hot dog guy. You've got a lot more connection to your customers than one-off hot dogs, right?
Now if only Mr. Leiweke would set to work on those prices. Hmm….
Grow and be well,
Kelly Erickson

Hm…I'd like to go sit in on some spring training somewhere…wouldn't that be a cool fan bonus to give away?
Janice Cartier's last blog post…Like a Well Worn Map
Oh and can you tell I don't know football from baseball but I would love to see behind the scenes, get invested before the big show and circus that it becomes…it was the hot dogs that made me think of baseball and the pretty sunshine that has shown up today.. still….like being offered a seat at the chef's table.. would be cool I think.
Janice Cartier's last blog post…Like a Well Worn Map
Oh, yes. The chef's table concept would be a great relationship-builder for a pro football (or baseball) team! I know the VIP boxes are supposed to make big spenders feel that way, but it's not the same as the more intimate idea of a chef's table, the behind-the-scenes feel… I love that idea. Not fancy food and tuxedoed servers, far from the action in the VIP box, but listening in on last-minute practice and hearing some insider stories.
That's Experience Design for rabid sports fans instead of for rabid spenders. Mmhm.
It's funny, one of my clients is planning the exact same approach right now at his local golf courses. Instead of simply waiting for people to go to the concessions, he's bringing the concessions to them with golf cart service, preordering from the 7th and 16th holes, member perks, and more. The idea of course is to engage them with the experience, not just have a hot dog handy if they're feeling a little peckish…
Ooh, that sounds so civilized, Graham… he might be a southerner at heart. 😉 Anticipating needs… rather than…not. Like a guest experience. Like you really loved having them there. I like that.
Janice Cartier's last blog post…Like a Well Worn Map
Golf courses are the perfect place for that, because from what I see customers are getting price-sensitive and much less loyal in the last few years, and they're very willing to "shop around," or (gasp!) stay home.
Bringing in little touches that you'd miss if you went elsewhere is a great way to create a relationship. "These folks go out of their way for me, I think I'll come back."
Like Janice says. Like you really loved having them there!
Until later,

The "Super Thursday" releases from the Monetary Policy Committee--MPC--indicate that financial market turbulence and the approaching E.U. referendum have kiboshed the chances of an interest rate rise in the first half of this year. Nonetheless, the MPC's forecasts clearly imply that it expects to raise rates much sooner than markets currently anticipate, and the Governor signalled that a rate cut isn't under active consideration.

Spot fixing: All three Pakistani cricketers get jail terms
Former Pakistan cricket captain Salman Butt was Thursday sentenced by the Southwark Crown Court to 30 months in prision for spot fixing.
Fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer were handed one year and six months sentences.

The trio was involved in spot fixing during the Lord's Test against England last August.
Cricket bookie Mazhar Majeed was also handed a 32-month sentence for his involvement in spot fixing, BBC reported Thursday.
The spot-fixing controversy centres on allegations that Butt, Asif and Amir took bribes from Mazhar Majeed to deliberately under-perform at certain times in the match.
Undercover reporters from News of the World, led by Mazher Mahmood, had secretly video-taped Majeed accepting money and informing the reporters that Asif and Amir would deliberately bowl no-balls at specific points in an over.
This information could have been used by gamblers to place bets.

text: 000 FXUS65 KRIW 220549 AFDRIW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Riverton WY 1049 PM MST Tue Nov 21 2017 .SHORT TERM...Tonight through Friday With Thanksgiving looming on the horizon, you could say we have a cornucopia of weather coming up for the next few days. And with the contrast in conditions, we will split the discussion into West and East of the Divide. West of the Divide...Currently, we are in a lull between systems. The next system will move in from the west for tonight and into Wednesday. We agree with the previous shift that this looks like a high POP but low QPF event. Almost all snowfall amounts should stay below advisory criteria except for the very tops of mountains where impacts will be minimal. This will also be a warm system with snow levels starting off at around 7000 to 7500 feet and then rising to 8500 to 9500 feet on Wednesday. There is one additional concern as well. As also indicated by the previous shifts, there may be a shallow layer of cold air trapped in the Green River Basin as warm advection moves over it. The limiting factor is QPF however, with the models generally giving less than 0.05 inches and most only around a hundredth or a trace. For now, we have elected to add in some patchy freezing drizzle to the likely effected area and will issue a Special Weather Statement to cover for the effects. This should end Wednesday morning as the cold air gets scoured out. The steadiest precipitation should end by Wednesday afternoon with mainly dry conditions for Wednesday night. At this point, a transitory ridge of high pressure will control the weather for Thanksgiving Day and bring a harvest of dry and mild weather, although there will be a gusty wind developing in the afternoon. Then the next in a series of Pacific troughs and fronts will approach the area from the north and west and bring the next chance of rain and snow. Much like many of the previous ones, it will start off fairly mild with snow levels generally above 7500 feet until the front swings through late at night. This one looks to have a bit more punch, but is also a quick hitter with most of the precipitation over by Friday morning, although a few showers will likely linger. As for temperatures, they will cool somewhat. However, with the Pacific origin of the system temperatures will likely remain near to above normal. East of the Divide...Once again, the concern here shifts to wind. The first is around the crossroads of the universe, Clark. The NAM is showing a few 50 knot wind barbs in the area tonight. However, the GFS is not as bullish. At this point, we will go with an Special Weather Statement. There could be a few 60 mph wind gusts near Clark, but this time of the year this is called Wednesday. Elsewhere it will be quiet although there will be an increasing southwest wind across the southwestern wind corridor as the pressure gradient tightens ahead of the system moving into the west. Wednesday at this point looks mild and dry, with the usual southwest breeze in the usual spots. Some areas could be as warm as a fresh pumpkin pie out of the oven, relatively speaking for late November, with highs in the lower 60s possible in well mixed areas. Wednesday night at this point looks quiet as well. As for Thanksgiving itself, look for dry weather everywhere. However, the wind will be increasing, especially late in the day and at night. As the next Pacific system approaches the area from the west, the pressure gradient will once again tighten. The difference this time will be much of the area will be in favored right front quadrant of an 135 knot jet streak moving across the Montana-Wyoming border. At lower levels, 700 millibar winds look very impressive Thursday night with most areas showing at least 55 knots and some models showing as high as 75 knots. With the jet bringing downward forcing it may harvest those lower level winds and push them to the surface, possibly causing winds that could sink the Mayflower in some areas. As a result, we increased winds in many areas Thursday night into early Friday well above what forecast builder loaded in. Still a bit of uncertainty but the potential for high winds in some areas are definitely there, especially across the Cody Foothills but some other areas as well. Right now, GFS MOS shows 43 knots sustained for Buffalo late Thursday night and NAM MOS shows 38 knots sustained at Riverton for the same timeframe. These may be a bit overdone, but this has to be watched. The other story will be the warmth, with some record high temperatures possibly in jeopardy. As for precipitation, the GFS shows some showers across the north before the front swings through. The NAM is mainly dry though. For now, we compromised and went with lower POPS until there is more agreement in the models. Most areas should see improving conditions through the day Friday as the front moves away and the pressure gradient decreases, although areas favored by northwest flow like the Wind River Basin may see windy conditions continue. Temperatures will be cooler, but likely remain near to above normal once again. .LONG TERM...Friday night through Tuesday Friday night through Sunday the upper level ridge takes over across WY.

In fact, Sunday could be a quite mild late November day (not unlike this upcoming Thanksgiving day) with the GFS and Euro forecasting H7 temps in the +4 to +6C range east of the divide and south and still above 0C in the far west. For now, we have mid 50s to low 60s east of the divide with 40s to lower 50s west. The foothills will likely be quite mild, especially east slope with mid 40s to mid 50s. The next system moves into the west Monday. While the low itself stays in Southern Canada, it will push sharp cold front through the FA. A period of snow is likely out west as H7 temps likely fall below -10C with fropa. Plenty of wind again ahead of and with fropa across much of the area.

Something is stirring in London's dark, stamping out its territory in brickdust and blood. Something has murdered Saul Garamond's father, and left Saul to pay for the crime.
But a shadow from the urban waste breaks into Saul's prison cell and leads him to freedom. A shadow called King Rat, who reveals Saul's royal heritage, a heritage that opens a new world to Saul, the world below London's streetsa heritage that also drags Saul into King Rat's plan for revenge against his ancient enemy,. With drum 'n' bass pounding the backstreets, Saul must confront the forces that would use him, the forces that would destroy him, and the forces that shape his own bizarre identity.
Saul Garamond comes home to his London apartment to find his father murdered and himself under arrest. While grieving in his jail cell, he is broken out by the stinking, shadowy King Rat, who takes Saul to the world beneath London's streets before revealing to him his own half-rat heritage. King Rat means to enlist Saul's aid against their oldest enemy, the Piper, who long ago embarrassed the King and stole the children in Hamelin, and has come again to do the same in London. This time, however, the rats have half-human rat-prince Saul--who is immune to the Piper's tune--on their side. If King Rat sounds a little too cute, it's because the book takes its cues from two of fantasy's most sugarcoated themes, the Lost Prince and the x. But it's somewhat grittier than that; the Prince doesn't usually eat garbage every few pages or spend most of his day wading through sewage. China Miťville blends a lot of good, solid folkloric material with a good deal of contemporary urban paranoia and drum-and-bass music, the multi-layered richness of which the Piper seeks to use for his own ends. It's ambitious, to be sure, and involved at times--it would help to know something about Cockney rhyming slang, the layout of London and its environs, and jungle music--but the book can easily be enjoyed by anyone with a love of good, gritty make-believe. King Rat is a strong first novel in the quirky sub-sub-genre of subterranean fairy tales that, with such recent good books as Lisa Goldstein's Dark Cities Underground and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, looks less cute and more promising by the minute.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has expressed sympathy for a Mexican asylum seeker who jumped on the stage during the award ceremony in Oslo.
The 17-year-old laureate from Pakistan, who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman, said young people the world over face problems.
"As (he) was from Mexico, so there are problems in Mexico," she said, after meeting Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg.
"There are problems even in America, even here in Norway, and it is really important that children raise their voices."
Oslo police said the flag-waving 21-year-old, who has applied for political asylum in Norway, was fined 15,000 kroner (£1,300) for disturbing the peace and sent back to an asylum centre.
Ms Yousafzai said she was not afraid when the intruder stepped out in front of her and co-winner Kailash Satyarthi as they were holding up their award certificates and medals in front of hundreds of guests, including Norwegian royalty and politicians.
"If I don't get scared at anything else, why would I get scared of this?" she said, laughing. "There was nothing to be scared of."
The man was quickly whisked away by a security guard but police were unable to explain how he had managed to enter Oslo City Hall without an invitation amid tight security in the city.
Police said they did not know the motive of the intruder, identified as Adan Cortes Salas by his brother in Mexico.
Ms Yousafzai, the youngest ever Nobel Prize winner, shared the 1.1 million US dollar (£700,000) award with the 60-year-old Indian for helping protect children from slavery, extremism and forced labour, and advance their education.

FBI Correct: Sharia Adherent Muslims Have Mental Issues
Five (5) people are dead and 13 others wounded after Esteban Santiago shot them with a handgun inside the baggage claim area of the Fort Lauderdale (Florida) Airport Friday (1/06/2017).
The FBI got one thing right: like all sharia adherent muslims, Santiago is not mentally aligned with civilized society. Santiago's family said he "lost his mind," and says he has never been the same since he came back from Iraq. This may all be true.
But it begs some questions.
Isn't it interesting how jihadis who have been investigated by the FBI with no action taken, wind up killing and/or wounding Americans in places like Little Rock, Boston, New York, San Bernadino, Orlando, and elsewhere, and are then dubbed "mentally ill?"
They are never dubbed "Islamic jihadis" or "Islamic terrorists."

Can I use MS for subdomains & subdirectories?
This is complicated – I need to use WP for both multiple blogs for subdirectories (which is how it is set up) as well as subdomains (which I've had to move things to.) If multisite is capable to manage other domains it should be fine handling subdomains, at least in theory.
I'm hoping to confirm that the answer is YES and if there is a guide on proper setup for such an operation.
Second question, which makes this a little complicated. Some of my databases will get large. It might make sense to have multiple databases, better load balancing, spreading the risk by not having all in one huge database, speed, etc. Is there a possible recommended setup for multiple databases but using one login/registration? I guess this is the holy grail. 🙂
Thank you in advance. This is one of those things you want to set up properly the first time. Right now I've got a few separate installs of WP in subdomains for the moment and want to avoid moving forward with a plugin synchronizing all those users, etc.
- The topic 'Can I use MS for subdomains & subdirectories?' is closed to new replies.

This week, the American Medical Association recognized obesity as a disease, a decision that could encourage the medical community to pay closer attention to nutrition, an issue that we focus on every day in Philly through out programs like Farm to Families and FreshRX. To help families start their kids off with a better perspective about healthy eating – and to avoid obesity-related illnesses like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease – we found a new way to make eating fruits and veggies fun this summer.
Most of us remember carrying our lunches in a bag, but a bento box is a great alternative for kids who may need a little help with portion control. Traditionally, these arranged boxes come from Japan and typically feature rice, fish or meat with some sort of cooked vegetable.
For today's kids, this idea can be used to not only promote healthy eating, but also fun eating that provides the nutrition to stay active this season. If you and your kids have had one too many PB and Js, here are some great alternatives:
-Load your bento box up with fresh veggies that are cut into fun shapes or even assembled to make faces – like apple slices with grape eyes and a carrot smile.
-Arrange the boxes within the box with small portions. Try using alternatives to snack foods, like kale chips instead of regular chips.
-Reduce the bread you use by cutting whole wheat bread into smaller shapes – almost like sliders – featuring fresh seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, like cucumber and avocado.
-Chop fruits into smaller portions so that kids get a balances meal. You can even create fun images – like a colorful garden with fruits and veggies.
Want to get started? Bento boxes – which are reusable and eco-friendly – are available at home and kitchen stores and online. Alpha Mom also shares some of her most tips for inspiring kids to eat their fruits and veggies.
