Three North Alabama schools are being recognized for their efforts to crackdown on bullying.
Westlawn Middle School is one of three schools that earn the "No Place For Hate" distinction.
The program gives students the opportunity to learn about damaging impact that bullying can have on students.
The students at Westlawn completed three activities that addressed bullying.
"We educate on how it looks and how it feels and then we have to associate the consequences of where it could lead to negativity for the students. And they invest in making a difference in how they see it in their lives and then we're going to see change," said counselor Ashley Felder.
"No Place For Hate" empowers students, teachers and parents to tackle prejudice, bullying and intergroup conflict.
Grissom and Whitesburg K-8 also earned the distinction.

Greenville Middle School Implements New Health Strategies Through Grant Childhood obesity is a growing concern in Alabama, but each year, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama grants funding to schools across the state to keep kids healthy. CBS-8 takes a look at how one school in Butler County is now being given a helping hand to get kids active. $10 thousand dollars -- that's how much ten schools were awarded to get kids moving more and eating healthier foods. And one of those schools is in Greenville.
This is how you usually imagine kids spending their PE hour. But in a few weeks, Greenville Middle Schoolers will be rolling into a new curriculum. And it involves what many people think would hurt a health program -- video games. "I think it's going to be cool because we get to get in shape and play games at school, so it's going to be fun," Said GMS fifth grader, Jadakiss Anderson. It's all thanks to a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, which funds nutritional education and physical activities both at school and at home. PE teacher, Ronald Bogan, says there's no better way to engage kids in more physical education then by bringing their home life to school. And that means, students will be seeing a lot more technology during their PE period. "The equipment we plan on buying is the Wii gaming systems to give kids the opportunity to bowl, box, fish, motorcross racing, a variety of things. Another part of the equipment that we're going to buy is the platforms. Dance platforms," Said GMS PE teacher, Ronald Bogan. As for nutrition, students can say goodbye to fried foods and hello to more color on their plates. "We want them to eat, one thing, is fresh fruit and vegetables that we're offering now," Said GMS Principal Curtis Black. One of the big things the school is trying to do is also get parents involved. School officials tell CBS-8 they'll hold multiple nights throughout the year, where families can join in on various physical and nutritional activities. They say they'll start implementing the program into their curriculum in about three weeks. |

We're breaking the mould. Literally. Blowing it to bits in the way that only Planet X can. We're bringing you true pro-level carbon frame construction, available without having to know someone on the inside, at a super accessible price, thanks to our new partnership with Sarto Antonio of Italy, makers of what we consider to be the finest frames in the world.
Sarto made their name in a situation that happens a lot. Pro riders signed for a team, unhappy with their stock model bike. It's a secret of the peleton, but the truth is out there - Sarto make the frames for lots of pros, who them have them sprayed up to look like their sponsors bikes.
Why do the pro's beat a path to Sarto's door? Because of the way that they can truly CUSTOM build a carbon frame, not just with the tube shapes to deceive the journalists, but also the geometry to allow the rider to get the position on the bike they want, the material to allow the weight to be optimised, and the layup to ensure the bike rides exactly how they want it - yeah - with that "lateral stiffness and vertical compliance" that everyone wants from a bike.
We've been working for over a year with Sarto, and our top level sponsored athletes, to get these frames, and bikes to production. We've gone through extensive sampling processes, cable guide revisions, frame tube alterations, and we're now ready to launch them, at a price that blows the rest of the industry to bits, the Planet X Mondo.
We have used our well proven and much loved Nanolight geometry to base the bikes sizing around. The Nanolight has been our best selling high performance frame to date, and we're very happy with the proportional geometry on it, and we understand how it would be desirable for a Nanolight rider to easily make a swap to a Mondo, with the extra performance gains it would give them, but with the same geometry so that contact points are familiar.
Technical Details
We've made a leap forward in technical innovation and kept the Italian theme going by using FSA's BB386EVO on this frame. BB386EVO is specifically designed to both optimise construction for carbon frames, and offer even more increased levels of drivetrain stiffness than previous systems. It's supported by FSA, and also has cup designs to allow 24mm Shimano standard axles to work in the frame, and also even allows you to use BB386EVO cranks in even a standard threaded bottom bracket!
To accompany this awesome frame and complete the frameset package, we've chosen Deda's Monocoque RS full carbon fork. It's one of the the highest quality forks around tested best in back to back analysis from our riders. At just 330g it's incredibly light, but tracks incredibly well due to perfect material positioning. The headtube and fork are of course tapered 1.5in to 1.125in standard, and take an FSA C40 headset (Not Included).

Photo: Thinkstock "When was the last time you felt real joy?"
In 1992 I was running down a country road in Indiana with my friend and fitness coach, Bob Greene, when his question literally made my knees buckle. Despite all the wonderful things that were happening in my life, I could give him no immediate answer—I had to search back in my mind to seven years before. Not since the summer of 1985, when I was filming The Color Purple, had I felt deep-down joy. Being in that movie changed everything for me—and not just because of the character I played. I was doing work that I loved, and I was surrounded by others who were equally passionate. I was so happy every day. Even on days when I didn't have to work, I showed up to experience the joy of just being there. Away from the set, I began to read books that revealed the power I had to cocreate my life with my Creator. The whole experience was more than just a lightbulb moment, it was a sunlight moment. I could truly feel the radiance of God's love shining above me, around me, and through me. I felt connected with my purpose. I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace—a connection to what matters. Real joy, like real power, as Gary Zukav describes it, happens "when your personality comes to fully serve the energy of your soul." That's exactly what happened to me during The Color Purple. Playing the character Sofia and being part of the whole production was not just a job for me. In my soul I knew it was something I was meant to do. Bob helped me realize that my busy life, though exciting and filled with accomplishments that made me happy, lacked real joy. Shortly after The Color Purple was released, The Oprah Winfrey Show went national. We were so driven to do and be the best. But after a while, those goals became empty for me. I'd think, So we're number one—now what? I was caught up in a whirlwind of trying to make every appearance and please the critics, the world, everybody. And I felt disconnected from myself. After much soul-searching, I understood that I could always feel what I felt while filming The Color Purple if only I had the courage to live my life the way I really wanted to. I would have to cure myself of the disease to please and begin focusing on what mattered. And what mattered was not just performing on TV but using the power of television to influence others for good, to help people see their potential and reconnect with themselves. What I know for sure is that you feel real joy in direct proportion to how connected you are to living your truth. Eventually, we each have to answer one glorious question: What am I really here to do? Your job in life is to find your job, which might involve something as simple as becoming an uplifting boss or an honorable friend. Regardless, once you discover exactly how you were meant to use your life and then spend your energy in service to that calling, real joy can't help but follow.

Asian Games: Japan, China Win Three Apiece on Day Four -- October 3, 2002
BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA, Oct. 3. CHINA and Japan continued their heated rivalry for Asian aquatic supremacy on Day 4 of the 14th Asian Games here this evening. China swept to wins in the women's 200 breaststroke and 400 free relay and the men's 100 free, while Japan scored wins in the men's 100 back, 100 fly and women's 400 free. There were several performances of note tonight, including Japan's Sachiko Yamada's pr-NR 4:07.23 that won her gold in the 400 free, the year's No. 2 global clocking. No. 1 belongs to double Olympic gold-medalist Yana Klochkova of Ukraine, who won this summer's European Championships 400 title in a pr-NR 4:07.10. Yamada's time knocks Hungary's Eva Risztov, Berlin runner-up in a pr-NR 4:07.24, from the No. 2 world spot as she drops to No. 3. Yamada's old pr-NR was 4:09.80 from the Sydney Olympic Trials at the Tokyo Olympic Pool. The Asian record is 4:05.00 by China's Chen Yan from the National Games in Shanghai five years ago this November. The world record is still that "unbeatable" (unapproachable?) 4:03.85 by America's Janet Evans from the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Evans also still has history's No. 2 performance, is the only woman ever under 4:05 and, additionally, holds world records in the 800-1500 frees -- some 13-14 years after they were originally swum. Yamada now ranks 17th on the all-time performers' list and is also Japan's record-holder in the 800-1500 frees. China's Chen Hua (4:12.24) was silver medalist and newcomer Tang Jingzhi (CHN) won the bronze (4:15.82). In the 200 breast, China's world record-holder Qi Hui (2:22.99 from last year's World Championship Trials) swam a sizzling 2:24.01 to win the gold with teammate Luo Xuejuan (pr 2:24.67) runner-up. Qi's swim is No. 2 globally for the year and history's fourth-fastest performance behind only her world record, now-retired South Africa's and University of Nebraska's Penny Heyns' 2:23.64, and her world-leading 2:23.74 from the Pan-Pac Trials at Anshan in April. Luo's old pr was her 2:25.29 that won the gold at last year's World Championships. Interestingly, as we pointed out in our preview, China opted not to bring Pan Pac Trials' runner-up Luo Nan, who went a pr and then No. 2 world 2:24.91 last April. In any event, China now has the top two women's 200 breaststrokers in the world for Y2K+2. It will be interesting to see how things play out at Barcelona (World Championships) next summer -- with Hungary's defending Olympic and World Championship star (not to mention Arizona State sophomore) Agnes Kovacs primed for a major "comeback" next season. Kovacs lost her European title to Austria's Mirna Jukic at Berlin in August. China won the final women's race of the night, the 400 free relay, in a Games record 3:40.95 to Japan's 3:44.59. Korea was a stroke behind. The leading time for the year is Germany's world-record setting 3:36 flat from the European Championships. Australia ranks No. 2 off its 3:39.78 that won gold at the Pan Pacs. * * * * * On the men's side, no Asian records were set but a couple of Games records fell. Japan's Atushi Nishikori (55.17, 55.06p) and Takashi Yamamoto (52.59) were the gold medalists and Games record-setters in the 100 back and 100 fly, respectively. In a surprise, China swept the 100 free with Chen Zuo outtouching teammate Liu Yu -- 200 free winner -- in 50.78-50.83. Nishikori's prelim time is just 1/100 of a second off the Japanese and Asian Record of 55.05 by Daichi Suzuki, which won him the gold at the Seoul Olympics 14 years ago. Suzuki won in a huge upset over then world record-holder David Berkoff of the United States. Cal junior Alex Lim, a native of Malaysia, took the silver in a pr-NR 55.18 -- coming within just one-hundredth of a second of becoming the first non-Chinese or Japanese winner here -- and Japan's Tomomi Morita (55.32) the bronze. Nishikori has the year's fastest Asian time, a 55.06 swum in prelims here. Lim's old pr-NR was a 55.44 from the Commonwealth Games. He'll he'll be a key component (along with sprinters Anthony Ervin, Duje Draganja and Michael Cavic) in Cal's quest to win its first NCAA Championship since 1980 next March at Texas. In the 100 fly, Yamamoto, who was upset by China's Wu Peng in the 200 opening night, dropped his seasonal best from the 52.64 he swam at the Pan-Pacs. His pr-NR-Asian Record is 52.55 from the semis of the World Championships in Fukuoka. In the finals he touched in 52.59. His gold medal-winning swim ranks him eighth globally for '02. Runner-up was Japan's Kohe Kawamoto (pr 53.22) which matched his prelim time. China's Jin Hao (pr 53.56) was third. The Chinese record is 53.20 by Jiang Chengji from the Atlanta Olympics. 14th Asian Games Busan, South Korea September 29 - October 14, 2002 SWIMMING RESULTS DAY FOUR: October 3, 2002 Women's 200m Breaststroke F 1 4 QI Hui People's Rep. of China 2:24.01 Asian Games Record 2 2 LUO Xuejuan People's Rep. of China 2:24.67 3 6 KAWANABE Fumiko Japan 2:29.82 4 5 ISODA Junko Japan 2:29.93 5 1 JUNG Seul Ki Korea 2:32.67 6 3 CHO A Ra Korea 2:33.61 7 7 SIOW Yi Ting Malaysia 2:37.04 8 8 GUERRERO Jenny Philippines 2:37.26 Women's 400m Freestyle F 1 4 YAMADA Sachiko Japan 4:07.23 Asian Games Record 2 3 CHEN Hua People's Rep. of China 4:12.24 3 6 TANG Jingzhi People's Rep. of China 4:15.82 4 5 HA Eun Ju Korea 4:19.89 5 2 TACHAKITTIRANAN Pilin Thailand 4:21.46 6 7 OCHI Madoka Japan 4:21.67 7 1 KIM Ye Sul Korea 4:24.32 8 8 CHOOMPOL Chorkaew Thailand 4:27.10 Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay F 1 4 People's Rep. of China YANG Yu ZHU Ying Wen JU Jielei XU Yanwei 3:40.95 2 5 Japan MITA Maki NAGAI Tomoko URABE Norie YAMADA Sachiko 3:44.59 3 3 Korea RYU Yoon Ji KIM Hyun Joo SHIM Min Ji SUN So Eun 3:44.81 4 6 Hong Kong, China KONG Yan Kay Flora TANG Hing Ting NG Chi Kwon Jennifer TSAI Hiu Wai Sherry 3:55.15 5 7 Singapore BOUVRON Christel TEO Wei Min Nicolette YEO Wei Ling Joscelin LIM Kim Tor Jacqueline 3:56.70 6 2 Thailand TACHAKITTIRANAN Pilin TANTINITI Piyaporn CHOOMPOL Chorkaew VORATHAMRONG Chonlathorn 4:00.57 7 1 Pakistan KHAN Kiran KARIM Mahira TAJWAR Ayesha ABDUL WAHID Sana Men's 100m Freestyle A 1 6 CHEN Zuo People's Rep. of China 50.76 2 1 LIU Yu People's Rep. of China 50.83 3 4 HOSOKAWA Daisuke Japan 51.22 4 5 KO Yun Ho Korea 51.38 5 8 Indonesia 51.41 6 7 AKEBE Hiroaki Japan 51.65 7 2 WU Nien Pin Chinese Taipei 51.70 8 3 ONG Hou Meng Malaysia 52.27 B 1 3 TAN Lee Yu Gary Singapore 52.21 2 1 KVASSOV Andrey Kazakhstan 52.27 3 6 SITNIKOV Igor Kazakhstan 52.42 4 5 WANG Shao An Chinese Taipei 52.53 5 7 CHAY Jung Jun Mark Singapore 52.64 6 4 KORSHUNOV Maksim Tajikistan 52.65 7 8 DOO Kenneth Kinlun Hong Kong, China 53.55 2 KIM Min Suk Korea Men's 100m Butterfly A 1 5 YAMAMOTO Takashi Japan 52.59 2 4 KAWAMOTO Kohei Japan 53.22 3 6 JIN Hao People's Rep. of China 53.56 4 3 NACHAEV Ravil Uzbekistan 55.00 5 7 YOO Jeong Nam Korea 55.34 6 2 TANG Wen Jun People's Rep. of China 55.61 7 1 TSENG Cheng Hua Chinese Taipei 55.63 8 8 LIM Yu-lung Lubrey Malaysia 57.09 B 1 4 KWOK Kin Ming Mark Hong Kong, China 56.04 2 6 WONG Wing Cheung Victor Macau 56.46 3 5 SZETO Shui Ki Hong Kong, China 56.92 4 3 KIM Young Nam Korea 57.38 5 7 NG Cheng Xun Singapore 57.49 6 2 YAMANI Mohammed Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 57.68 7 1 TITORENKO Vyacheslav Kazakhstan 58.22 8 8 AL-YOUSEF MOD Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 58.81 Men's 100m Backstroke F 1 4 NISHIKORI Atsushi Japan 55.17 2 3 LIM Keng Liat Malaysia 55.18 3 5 MORITA Tomomi Japan 55.32 4 6 OUYANG Kun Peng People's Rep. of China 55.61 5 7 SUNG Min Korea 56.23 6 2 YU Rui People's Rep. of China 56.29 7 8 PHUANGTHONG Dulyarit Thailand 59.04 8 1 KOH Mun Yew Gerald Singapore 59.41

Mixing things up a bit. The Dallas faithful have put the Cowboys on top this week as NFL preseason games get underway. Pent up demand for the recently saved NFL season has been pretty impressive so far. Guess that old adage about remembering how much you appreciate something when its about to be taken away rings true this year. Dallas knocked the esteemed Mr. Bieber off his recently reclaimed perch. New and hot this week is Rascal Flatts who secure the #3 spot as their Flatts Fest Tour continues.
Mississippi State dropped a spot this week, ending up at #4, a fate avoided by Selena Gomez and Adele. Both songstresses gain this week, rounding out the top five and starting off the bottom five. They're followed closely by another country star, Brad Paisley. No stranger to the countdown, Brad hasn't appeared recently. He is playing some dates this September as part of the H2O II: Wetter and Wilder World Tour. The tour includes other artists like Darius Rucker, Sunny Sweeney and The JaneDear Girls.
College football teams flip a bit this week, with the Pac-12 and the Big (slightly less than) 12 represented. Taylor Swift suffers a bit of fall but still manages to hang onto the #10 spot to round things out this week.

Car Sharing - ZipCar, FlexCar, City CarShare - do they work?
In San Francisco and other cities the car-share business is booming. Whether the decision is economic (payments, parking, gas, insurance) or environmental plenty of people are using them.
What do you think of these services? Have you tried them? Pros? Cons?
Car-sharing catching on with Bay Area drivers
Firms provide autos for those who don't want hassle of ownership
For economic and environmental reasons, Tara Hunt wants to avoid buying a car, but sometimes she needs to drive from San Francisco across the Bay Bridge to Ikea or Home Depot. Keith Kamisugi finds it a hassle to own a car in San Francisco -- especially trying to find a parking place near his home -- but he has to drive to business meetings and on occasional errands.
For Hunt and Kamisugi -- and thousands of other Bay Area residents -- car-sharing is the answer to that dilemma.
"Not owning a car in San Francisco is a big benefit to me,'' said Kamisugi, 36, who lives in the parking-deprived Inner Richmond District. Car-sharing "fills the gap between my use of public transportation and the times when I need a car.'' continue reading...

PFFlyer@Edmunds Pennsylvania Furnace, PAPosts: 5,817I had a cousin who lived and died in NYC without ever having owned a car or bothered to get a driver's license as he really didn't need one to live his daily life. Had someone thought of something like this back then, I think he might have taken advantage of it.

john_324 Posts: 974I have some experience with Zipcar myself.
My girlfriend drives a Miata. Occasionally she has need of having a car with actual cargo space ( ), so she joined Zipcar.
It actually works as advertised. You make a reservation in advance for a specific car for a specific time period (hourly). Zipcar then codes the vehicle's eletronic module to accept your card (when you join, you get a credit card-style access card). Card unlocks the Zipcar; keys are inside, tethered to the dash. If it's low on gas, there's a credit card in the glove compartment so you can refill it.
You have to bring it back by the time it's due (locking it at the end with your access card tells Zipcar that you've returned it) or you get a BIG penalty. If you need more time, you can attempt via phone or web to extend your reservation, provided no one else has reserved it at that time.
Zipcar tends to like funky but utilitarian vehicles...Scion xBs, etc. All the cars in a given area their own unique names (I've ridden in "Bullwinkle" and "Big Boi"), so when you search online, you can search by name or location.
In practice, everytime we've used it, it works as it should...car is always where it's supposed to be, in good condition. It can be tough to get through to Zipcar on the phone (if you want to extend your reservation), but on-line usually works.

larsb Posts: 8,204When you consider the costs of owning and parking and insuring a car when you live in the downtown area of a large city, this type of car sharing program can potentially save you a ton of money. From one of the recent Bay area stories:
Johnson and her husband, who live in a small Mission District apartment, drive to the grocery store, to pick up friends at the airport and to go hiking. They spend between $30 and $75 a month -- less than insurance used to cost when she owned a car. "The prices are very low,'' she said. "When I tell people how little we spend, their jaws drop.''
Apparently 350,000 people worldwide are in car-sharing programs. -

boyziggy Posts: 1Car sharing is vastly cheaper, and infinity more convenient then owning a car in most parts of San Francisco. I'm a member of both Citycarshare and Zipcar, which I use for different purposes, and I love them both.
Being a non-profit, Citycarshare is significantly cheaper for most times you need a car. Most of my car trips are on Citycarshare, and are for grocery shopping or other quick trips around the city. On average I use a Citycarshare 2-4 times a week, and my monthly bills run around $100 a month- which covers gas, insurance, and parking. On average I use Zipcar once or twice a month for trips outside the city or times when I want to use a car for a whole day- and I average about $60 a month, plus another $20 a month for independent non-owners liability insurance.
So basically for a total cost of between $130-$230 a month i get to drive a nice new car anytime I want to, selecting from a fleet of several hundred vehicles throughout the city. It's priceless! The only drawback is having to look at your watch and make sure the car is returned on time. It takes a bit of getting used to, and forces you to shop faster then you otherwise would.
Citycarshare is more convenient for shorter unplanned inner-city trips, as they have more locations throughout the City, and they have an excellent voice-recognition system that allows you to make reservations from your cell phone 2 seconds before you get in the car and drive off. This type of convenience of being able to just jump into a car just about anywhere in the city, at any time, has been a huge quality of life improvement for my wife and I. Until you experience this, you can't imagine how much it will improve your life; things like random late night trips to ocean beach ($2 an hour after 10pm); zipping across town to your favorite restaurant on a lunch break; or deciding to surprise your significant other by picking them up as they're waiting for their Muni bus ride home. These improvements to your life are pretty unique to Citycarshare, mainly because of the cheaper price per hour, and minimum duration of the rental.
Citycarshare allows you to rent the car for just 15 minutes, which is excellent when you want to zip a couple miles for that excellent Thai takeout place for dinner. I think about 90% of my Citycarshare reservations take place about 10 minutes before I need the car. It's impossible to have this level of convenience using rental car agencies. It's quite rare that there's not a car when i need it.
Citycarshare's greatest drawback is having to pay the $300 deposit. But they are a local non-profit, and don't have the hundreds of millions in capitol financing from investors wanting a ROI.
Citycarshare offers full car insurance, not the state minimum $5,000 of property damage that Zipcar and Flexcar offer. Getting into a car accident with Zipcar or Flexcar could easily put you into bankruptcy if you don't carry your own car insurance!
If you use Zipcar, BUY YOUR OWN NON-OWNERS CAR INSURANCE POLICY! There are horror stories about Zipcar members who assumed that adequate liability insurance was provided for them, only to find out after an accident that they're financially screwed.
Citycarshare and zipcar have been a huge improvement in my life. I cannot speak highly enough for it. Living car-free used to be a chore. Now it's a blessing!

Stever@Edmunds YooperlandPosts: 38,629California legalized personal car sharing a year ago. Oregon passed a peer to peer sharing law back in June, 2011. The deal is that you list your car on a sharing site, enable a smartphone app to handle the unlocking of the doors and make a couple of hundred bucks a month.
Sound appealing?
Or does the idea of some grubby stranger driving your baby around make you crazy?

fintail Posts: 32,606$45 a day? I can easily rent a car for that from an established agency. I would never rent out my own car, as I don't consider 99% of drivers to be my "peer" when it comes to vehicle care.
I like the $15/hour Z4 idea though. BMW has had an hourly rental scheme in Munich for a couple years now...BMW On Demand...some cool choices there. -
Stever@Edmunds YooperlandPosts: 38,629"Nearly 6 million of General Motors Co.'s OnStar subscribers will be able to rent their GM vehicles through the car-sharing business RelayRides and avoid the hassle of meeting renters in person to give them keys.
The two companies say the partnership, which will be announced today, allows owners of GM vehicles to rent their cars or trucks to other people for extra cash. OnStar gave RelayRides permission to develop technology that allows renters to unlock OnStar-equipped vehicles through smartphone or by replying to text messages."

Stever@Edmunds YooperlandPosts: 38,629Good read on why a good idea didn't work; not big enough to buy cars cheap enough for the fleet it sounds like. Not enough customers either.
"Zipcar was a prodigious money-loser. Funding growth around the world, it never once turned a profit, losing about $55 million since 2007. And the entry of behemoth Hertz made its task all the more costly."

carthell Posts: 124I considered the service, especially when the company parked two vehicles at my work site. Over the breakdowns I had over the the past two years, I've found that the sites where the company put their cars were simply too inconvenient to reach, and few in number. I typically use the major car rental business in my neighborhood, and the car dealerships I go to have a rental office nearby.
It did not help when the two cars at my work site was reduced to one due to a catastrophic event, undoubtedly. It has been that way for many months, and I'm not going to fight for the use of one vehicle.

Ambulatory phlebectomy is an outpatient procedure that removes superficial veins through small, slit-like incisions in the skin. The procedure involves four different steps:
The patient should have a proper vein evaluation, which may include a relevant history and physical, a Doppler and/or a duplex ultrasound examination. These tests evaluate such factors as:
Ambulatory phlebectomy may be used to remove both asymptomatic and symptomatic superficial veins from the skin. Typically, treated veins are the larger, bulging (raised) and varicose veins, although smaller veins may also be removed with ambulatory phlebectomy. Ambulatory phlebectomy may be combined with other therapies in the treatment of venous disease.
Patients who are allergic to the local anesthesia, who are not able to walk on their own and who cannot wear the compression stockings (arterial circulation problems) are not candidates for this procedure. Any active infection or rash in the treated areas needs to resolve before the surgery.
Ambulatory phlebectomy is performed under local anesthesia and patients should not feel any pain during the procedure. After surgery, discomfort should also be minimal to none, especially if compression stockings are worn as directed.
Temporary bruising and swelling of the treated area is typical and is minimized with compression stockings. The small incisions heal well without sutures and after six to 12 months, they are practically imperceptible. (Note: In darker skinned patients, the incision sites may be darker in color before fading.) Although every attempt is made to remove the entire varicose vein, there may be small segments that remain in the skin. These fragments may become inflamed and irritated causing the condition thrombophlebitis. The residual vein may feel like a hard cord and may be tender. Over-the-counter medications, compression stockings and time usually resolve the condition. Rarely, a sensory nerve may be injured and skin numbness results. The skin numbness usually affects a small area only. Movement or leg function should not be affected.
Bruising and swelling is normal and temporary. You can walk immediately after surgery and carry on normal daily activities except for exercise and heavy lifting. You must follow the activity restrictions and wear the compression stockings as directed by your doctor. Your varicose veins are physically removed and therefore should not come back. However, depending on other factors such as family and personal history, new varicose veins may develop over time.

March 15 2014 BOOKLIST
January 2014
At the close of the widely admired Old Man's War trilogy, Scalzi hinted he would take a long break from his saga of seniors rejuvenated for interstellar battle. But reader demand has extracted one more installment. Zoe Boutin Perry is the adopted daughter of John Perry and Jane Sagan, heroes of the first and third installments (Old Man's War, 2004; The Last Colony, 2007). Complicating her life as an otherwise ordinary, wisecracking 15-year-old is her status as a venerated idol of the Obin, an alien race who owe their self-awareness to an invention of Zoe's late biological father. Accompanied everywhere by her overprotective Obin bodyguards, Hickory and Dickory, Zoe quickly realizes how critical the Obin are to her family's survival when the Colonial Defense Force overseeing the Perrys' colonization of a new world underhandedly pits them against a murderous alliance of alien races. Scalzi takes a calculated risk in adopting Zoe's adolescent viewpoint, but it pays off in a captivating story.
YA/Special Interest: Zoe's glib narration and suspenseful interactions with extraterrestrials should enthrall YAs. —Carl Hays

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake
Categories: All, Cakes, Desserts, Holiday, Recipes, Thanksgiving
Tags: , Dairy Free, Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Desserts, Healthy Gluten-Free Desserts, Healthy Gluten-Free Recipes, Low Fat Gluten-Free, Pumpkin Cake, Pumpkin Recipes
In my quest for ever more ways to use pumpkin this season, I was intrigued by a reader recipe that was sent in calling for my Jules Cake Mix + pumpkin and very little else. Her recipe was called a Pumpkin Coffee Cake because she had added a crumbled topping and glaze to the base cake. I tried her recipe and my kids, especially, really enjoyed it.
I was inspired to tweak the recipe though, based on the fact that the cake itself was so moist and delicious, even though it was made without any added fat. That's right: no butter; no oil; no shortening! What if I could write the recipe so that the cake stood on its own, without any crumble or glaze? This cake could be downright healthy!
Following several experiments (necessitating many taste-tests!) I'm now proud to present what my household has affectionately named, Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake!
In all honesty, this is one of the easiest cakes I have ever made (are you listening, all you hesitant bakers?! This recipe is EASY PEASY!), and it is all pleasure without any guilt! I just might even be adding this new favorite to my Thanksgiving menu!
Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake
- 1 Jules Cake Mix*
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tbs. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 2 cups brown sugar or unrefined coconut palm sugar
- 2 large eggs (OR add 2 Tbs. arrowroot powder to dry ingredients + 2 Tbs. applesauce)
- 1 can pumpkin purée (15 oz. canned or bake your own)
*Note: if you don't have my Jules Cake Mix on hand and must make this recipe right away (it does look good, doesn't it?!), use the dry ingredients from this scratch cake recipe (don't add the sugar from that recipe, though) in place of the Jules Cake Mix, then add the ingredients & follow the directions as written above!
Pre-heat oven to 350º F (static) or 325º F (convection). Spray bundt or 9×13" pan with non-stick cooking spray. To make cupcakes, oil or line cupcake pans with cupcake papers (Makes 28-30 cupcakes).
Whisk together the cake mix and dry ingredients. Add the eggs (or see egg substitute instructions, above) and pumpkin purée. Beat until smooth, and pour into the prepared pan(s). The mixture will be thick. Smooth the top(s) with a rubber spatula.
For bundt cake, bake for 40 minutes; for 9×13" cake, bake for 30-35 minutes; for cupcakes, bake for 20 minutes. Test for doneness before removing from the oven by inserting a cake tester or toothpick in the middle of the cake or cupcakes to be sure it comes out clean. Add time if necessary to fully bake the cakes.
After 15-20 minutes of total cooling time, gently invert the cakes to remove them from the pans, then flip gently back onto the wire rack until fully cooled.
Sift confectioner's sugar on top, or add your favorite cream cheese frosting.

We'd love to hear yours!
Allison said: on November 15, 2012
This sounds great and I'd love to make it for Thanksgiving but I can't get your mix in time. Do you have a work around suggestion to replace the mix?
Jules said: on November 15, 2012
Hi Allison, I just added a note of how to make it from scratch with my flour instead of my Jules Cake Mix. Use this scratch cake recipe in place of the Jules Cake Mix, then add the spices & ingredients noted above and follow the rest of the recipe as written. I hope you get to make it for Thanksgiving!!
Pam G. said: on November 16, 2012
I'm hoping I'm reading this right – but granulated sugar IS dry….do I add the amt. of sugar listed in BOTH recipes?
Jules said: on November 16, 2012
Sorry for any confusion, Pam. If you're using my mix, you just add the mix plus the ingredients listed in this recipe (the cake mix doesn't include sugar). If you're making the scratch version, use only the sugar listed here plus the other dry ingredients listed in the cake recipe. Make sense?
Debbie said: on November 19, 2012
Hi Jules,
I want to ensure that I have the correct ingredients for your Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake since I don't have your cake mix. Will you please tell me which of the following ingredients should be removed for the recipe?
Debbie•3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
•1 Tbs. gluten-free baking powder
•1/4 cup powdered milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
•1/4 tsp. salt
•1/2 cup butter or non-dairy alternative
•4 large eggs
•2 tsp gluten-free vanilla extract
•1 cup milk or non-dairy alternative
•2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
•1 tbs. pumpkin pie spice
•1/2 tsp. ground cloves
•2 cups brown sugar
•2 large eggs
•1 can pumpkin purée (15 oz. canned)-
Jules said: on November 20, 2012
Hi Debbie, if you're making from scratch, basically you would just mix up the dry ingredients from the scratch recipe, except you don't add the sugar to that mix — follow the Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake recipe for sugar. So, you'd whisk together the first 4 ingredients in your list and then treat that like the cake mix called for in the Pumpkin Gingerbread Recipe. Hope that explains it! Enjoy!
Mary L. Sutherland said: on November 16, 2012
Your recipe calls for 1 Jules Mix. Does that mean 1 cup?
Jules said: on November 16, 2012
Hi Mary – the recipe actually calls for one of my Jules Cake Mixes. If you don't have one of my cake mixes, use my All Purpose Flour in the scratch cake recipe noted in the introduction. Enjoy!
Nancy G said: on November 16, 2012
Can you also post the recipe for the pumpkin coffee cake? It would be great to have also. Thanks.
June said: on November 16, 2012
When one if your recipes call for dry milk powder, is there a substitute I can use for that? I'm specifically referring to the "from scratch" cake recipe but have noticed that many have this ingredient that I don't usually keep on hand. And I would love to try this cake!-
Jules said: on November 16, 2012
Hi June, rather than dry milk powder, you could use almond meal. Check my blog post on how to make this expensive ingredient yourself — it's easy and much cheaper! Making your own almond meal.
Suzanne said: on November 16, 2012
Does this recipe really call from 2 CUPS of brown sugar? That seems like a lot for being "healthy."
Jules said: on November 16, 2012
Hi Suzanne, I actually enjoyed making the cake with unrefined coconut palm sugar, which is healthier than regular sugars – maybe you'd like to try it that way as well? Feel free to cut back on any sweeteners in recipes you see, but note that the texture will also be affected. This cake is very low fat, but it's not low sugar. I hope you get to make it sometime!
Pam said: on November 16, 2012
I made this exactly as printed with your cake mix and a 15 oz can of pureed pumpkin, eggs, etc. The batter was SO THICK there was no way toput it in a bunt pan. I had to use an ice cream scooper to put in cupcake tins. Came out like they went in…batter didn't spread or "smooth out". Tastes good but really dense. Any suggestions or insight as to what went wrong? Was your batter really thick??
Jules said: on November 19, 2012
Hi Pam, yes, the batter is thick, but you should be able to smooth the top with a spatula before it goes in the oven. The cake should come out very moist, and heavy in the same way that a fruit bread (like banana bread) is heavy. I'm glad you like the taste – perhaps with this in mind, you'll know you didn't mess it up when you make it next time!
Karen said: on November 24, 2013
Just a quick question. When you say 2 cups brown sugar, is that packed? Thanks.
Jules Shepard said: on November 25, 2013
Hi Karen, it's not packed. Unless I say it should be packed, just assume you're filling the measuring cup as you would granulated sugar. Hope that helps!

text: NEW GIG : 40 YEARS OF GREEN PEACEFor the first time since 2008, Damon Albarn, Tony Allen, Paul Simonon and Simon Tong will come together for a show, a special one-off The Good, The Bad and The Queen gig at Londons Coronet, New Kent Road on Thursday 10th November, 2011, celebrating 40 years of Greenpeace and the arrival of the new Rainbow Warrior III in London. We've always supported Greenpeace and their amazing work. It should be a great night, we're really looking forward to it." Paul Simonon John Sauven, Executive Director of Greenpeace added "I cant think of a better way to celebrate our 40th Anniversary than with The Good, the Bad and the Queen. What makes it really special is that this show will coincide with the arrival of Greenpeace's brand new Rainbow Warrior to its new mooring on the Thames. The Good The Bad And The Queen debuted with a show at The Roundhouse, London in October 2006, with an eponymous album released by Honest Jons/Parlophone the following January, which garnered wide spread acclaim and was described by The Times as ..a tear inducing, beautiful record. A string of dates followed, including a farewell show to the Hammersmith Palais and an outdoor performance overlooking the River Thames at the Tower of London. Greenpeace is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. What began as small group of campaigners sailing into a US nuclear testing sight in 1971 to try and halt nuclear proliferation, has 40 years later expanded into a environmental organisation with over 3 million supporters world wide that is leading the fight against global warming, the exploitation of areas in the Arctic for oil and the destruction of the rainforests in South East Asia and Latin America.

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Macbeth (mak-BEHTH), thane of Glamis, later thane of Cawdor and king of Scotland. A brave and successful military leader, and potentially a good and great man, he wins general admiration as well as the particular gratitude of King Duncan, his kinsman. Meeting the Three Weird Sisters, he succumbs to their tempting prophecies, but he also needs the urging of his wife to become a traitor, a murderer, and a usurper. He is gifted, or cursed, with a powerful and vivid imagination and with fiery, poetic language. Gaining power, he grows more ruthless, until finally he loses even the vestiges of humanity. He dies desperately, cheated by the ambiguous prophecies, in full realization of the worthlessness of the fruits of his ambition.
Lady Macbeth
Lady Macbeth, the strong-willed, persuasive, and charming wife of Macbeth. Ambitious for her husband's glory, she finds herself unable to kill King Duncan in his sleep because he resembles her father. As Macbeth becomes more inhuman, she becomes remorseful and breaks under the strain. In her sleepwalking, she relives the events of the night of the king's murder and tries to wash her hands clean of imaginary bloodstains.
Banquo (BAN-kwoh), Macbeth's fellow commander. A man of noble character, seemingly unmoved by the prophecy of the Three Weird Sisters that he will beget kings, he is not completely innocent. He does not disclose his suspicions of Macbeth, and he accepts a place in Macbeth's court. After being murdered by Macbeth's assassins, Banquo appears at a ceremonial banquet. His blood-spattered ghost, visible only to Macbeth, unnerves the king completely. In the final vision shown to Macbeth by the Three Weird Sisters, Banquo and his line of kings appear.
The Three Weird Sisters
The Three Weird Sisters, three witches, sinister hags who seem more closely allied to the Norns or Fates than to conventional witches. They make prophetic statements to Macbeth that are true but deceptive. Their prophecy of his becoming thane of Cawdor is fulfilled immediately, tempting him to take direct action to carry out the second prophecy, that he shall be king. They lull him into false security by telling him that he has nothing to fear until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane and that he cannot be killed by any man born of woman.

Quick Facts About Cicciotti's Trattoria Italiana:
Ambiance: Romance and a bit of classy Italian flare make Cicciotti's Cardiff by the Sea a great date night destination in north county San Diego. Elegant Spanish tile accents flickering candlelight and a beautiful ocean view. Guests can enjoy the Cardiff terrain with a few scattered palm trees on the sea cliffs above the ocean.
Why We Dine: Cicciotti's Restaurant cannot be beat when it comes to fresh Italian cuisine in San Diego. Drenched in Italian charm, this fantastic north county San Diego restaurant features incredible food, ocean views and a romantic ambiance.

The train tracks are wedged between the restaurant and the ocean so it's worth hearing the train every once in awhile to enjoy the beautiful ocean view from Cicciotti's Cardiff by the Sea.

Sample from a huge wine list in an airy and woodsy room while enjoying many of the best items from below (open 2pm to 10pm Tuesday to Friday, noon to 8pm Saturday).
