(Columbia) April 11, 2003 - Catherine Price is a natural on the piano. She has Type One diabetes, but doesn't let it slow her down. She keeps her disease in tight control, "It's a tightrope and if you're off on either side, there are consequences."
Catherine has it better than many diabetics, thanks to a two-week experimental treatment she received shortly after diagnosis. Kevan Herold and endocrinologist with Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York and says HOKT3 Gamma-1 is the first short-term therapy that appears to slow progression of the disease, "We know that it inactivates the cells that are responsible for the development of Type 1 diabetes. So somehow or another, it turns them off so that they don't continue to destroy the insulin-producing cells."
While it's unclear how long the effects will last, Herold says two years later Catherine is producing more of her own insulin than she probably would have without the treatment, "People who control their diabetes very well will have a much lower risk of developing the long-term complications, such as eye disease, kidney disease and others. And if you're able to make some of your own insulin, it's a lot easier to do that."
Researchers are conducting additional studies to see if HOKT3 Gamma might also be effective in treating people who've had Type One diabetes longer and also in delaying the onset of the disease.

"We just need a solid point guard, a veteran guy who makes great decisions and hits big shots,"
From the man himself, Brandon Roy:
NICE read on Brandon Roy and his thoughts on the upcoming season. How did we luck out to get this guy? IMO hw will be the reason that this team will stay together, players will gravitate towards him and want to be on his team.
The Blazers first priority has to be getting this guy locked up for the full 6 years when his time comes up. Once he is a long term Blazer, LMA, Oden and the rest of the crew will follow suit, as the more you read of him the more you gain respect for the guy, that quiet confidence and underlying greatness, not just scoring or stats, but doing the little things that are necessary to win and make this team better.
So far we have come from the days of having Zach as our leader, Reuben our energy, and Darius our core.
People seem to question the validity of our team, but much as we were left for dead at the beginning of last season, we will be again underestimated IMO, even with our already lofty predictions.
I would now like to pose the question of: What if?
In looking at our seasons to come, some here think that due to our youth and inexperience, we will take a while to grow into a team that is dominant in the postseason, saying that our time will not be until 2-3 seasons from now.
Yet I would like to offer another version of that story, one that will hopefully be more truth than exaggeration.
Kevin Pritchard has done a masterful job in bringing in team oriented players whose only goal is to win. Paired with the fact they are tireless workers with their natural talent and you have a recipe for success, possibly much sooner than we imagine.
Looking back our team last year we went 41-41 in the ultra competitive western conference, as a poor rebounding, jump-shooting team, all of this coming in as the 3rd youngest team in the history of the league. Nobody in their wildest dreams even imagined that a .500 season would be possible after the loss of Oden and our leading scorer and rebounder, but we proved that working as a team will far and away outshine individual accomplishment.
With this new infusion of 3 top ten draft pick talent, we will now have Bayless to fill in for Jack, Rudy to fill in for Von Wafer, and Oden step ahead of Joel. With this massive upgrade in talent, and a good coach at the helm guiding them the possibilities are limitless. More importantly, Pritchard has added players that will relish and thrive being pushed and react to challenges rather than back away from them.
I think of Utah in 2006-07 and look to see that their 2 main players had no experience in the playoffs at all and Williams was in his second year in the league. What did they do they made it all the way to the WCF. A precedent has been set with younger teams pushing deep into the postseason.
I am also reminded of the Hornets of this year and their run to the WC semis and am struck by their makeup, namely how experienced they are at each position. If you take a close look at their roster, the most experienced guy is Stojakovic, both playoff and regular season. West is the second leg of the NO triumvirate but has had little playoff experience, only 19 games in 2 years. However the main engine that runs NO is Paul who has had no playoff experience at all. How did they manage to take the SAS to 7 games and come that close to beating them with their engine wetting his feet for the first time in the playoffs?
Now granted we do not have Chris Paul but our main creator is entering his 3rd year in the league and if you compare the rest of the roster we are far superior to them.
Their starting lineup of
would be far outstripped with that of ours
Not to even mention our 2nd unit.
And as I said our main playmaker will be entering his 3rd year as well.
With that 3rd year player as our leader, we can only think what our new pieces will bring to us, mainly Oden who will be able to rebound and provide us with a scoring presence in the low post for the first time in a long time. We had little to no inside presence that could score until after the all star break when LMA finally figured out how to bang down low, which isn't his strength anyways. We now have a base foundation to work off of so that if we need an easy bucket we can dump it into the post and let him go to work. Add to this the upgrade in shooting that Bayless should bring over Jack and Rudy over Wafer, we should more than make up for the loss of Jones. With Travis turning into Super Trout this year and Webster hopefully taking another step forward we should be able to create a situation where we always have a dynamic SF on the court at all times.
Which brings me to the question of what if.
What if Brandon Roy has learned how to truly run the team and is ready to carry it on his back
What if Greg really is the second coming of Shaq, Robinson, Ewing, or Russell and puts up comprable #s?
What is LaMarcus gets tough and can pound the ball down low as well as being able to hit the 15ft J?
What if Rudy comes in and can play like Ginobili off the bench providing us a kickstart?
What if Bayless' weaknesses as a PG are completely masked playing alongside Roy allowing him to do what he does best, score the ball?
What if Travis has learned how to be a professional and to work all year round to make that next step in his development?
What if Webster learns to defend and can raise his 3pt % that much more?
What if all those last year who scoffed at the notion of us being anywhere other than the bottom of the league once again tell us that there is no way that we can get to the WCF let alone the finals?
Now naysayers will come and pick apart every what if to the highest degree, "That's a LOT of 'What ifs' they all can possibly come true." But with Nate, Dean, Monty and MoLuc at the helm, Brandon providing leadership on the court and the surprising success of last year, I can't help but be optimistic and think that we have something so precious here that everything else will fade away under its intense glow, perhaps not everything this year, but much more and quicker than expected.
And at the heart of it all we have the next great Blazer player, Brandon Roy, whose leadership and play will guide us to that next level, perhaps one only reached by a select few teams.
So ask yourself: What if?

"Love the quality of the paper. For the square designs, the "Happy New Year" greeting font could be smaller so that it doesn't overwhelm the main photo."
"Great card. Since it was square and would have required extra postage I got the rectangular envelopes that square card fits in but no extra postage requird. They were very tight to get card in and only fit one way. Would not get these envelopes again!"
"I've received many compliments on my card! I was behind and didn't get Christmas cards done in time so did this instead. I think my friends spent more time looking and admiring my card because the rush of the holidays was over. The paper feels like a fine heavy quality and the layout is attractive. I was very pleased. Be sure to get the larger envelopes because the post office charges .20 more per card for square ones."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"Received my order in less than 48 hours and also a call from the design artist with a follow up proof. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and will use them exclusively from now on because of their wonderful customer service - a rare find these days!"

↵The Opening Pitch: Sometimes you need to let things speak for themselves. ↵↵
↵• "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart."
↵Oh, I'm sure he regrets SOMETHING ... probably being exposed more than anything else. ↵
↵• "I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves."
↵Hard to hide behind "true...values" when you hear details like "31 months." ↵
↵• "I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect.
↵Agreed! ↵
↵• "I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family."
↵That can't be easy. ↵
↵• "Those feelings should be shared by us alone."
↵Actually, maybe you should try a little openness. Look where secrecy got you. ↵
↵The best line from The Voice-Mail: "My wife went through my phone. And, uh, may be calling you." ↵↵
↵The best line from Jesper Parnevik, who set up Elin with Tiger: "We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of the 3-iron." ↵↵
↵Kalika Moquin: Google Trends has become Tiger Woods' de facto online news service. ↵↵
↵Aaand ... the inevitable: AshleyMadison.com -- like Match.com for adultery -- would like Tiger to be its sponsor (per TMZ, naturally). I'm sure Nike, Gatorade, Gillette, Tag Heuer, Chevron and the others will be thrilled about that. ↵↵
↵Nets 0-18! 0-18! 0-18! Like the Lions' 0-16 a year ago, there is something spectacularly awesome about perfection -- whether it is for something good or something sorry. I want them to go 0-82, just for the novelty. But I'll settle for locking in on the next record in their sights: Longest losing streak in NBA history. (The record is 23: Totally doable!) ↵↵
↵I mock, but it's no joke to Nets players: "It's like we are laying down," said a despondent Chris Douglas-Roberts. ↵↵
↵Sixers sign AI: Enjoy him, Philly fans. You appreciated him more than the rest of us, and as you have nothing to look forward to this season anyway except mediocrity, at least you get one more season of watching AI up close. Shoals asks an essential question: Who will school AI like AI schooled Jordan? ↵↵
↵NBA's Best: Kobe over LeBron. That's what SN's expert poll said while ranking the Top 50 players in the NBA, and the result wasn't even close. That's not the same as the "Who would you start a franchise with?" question, and not the related "If you account for age, who is the best player in the NBA?" question. ↵↵
↵CFB: Oregon at Oregon State. Pac-10 Championship Game, Rose Bowl Play-In and Civil War, all rolled into one. The two rivals -- and it's one of the best in college football -- have never played a bigger game against each other. Pick: Oregon St. ↵↵
↵Alabama-Florida: Lane Kiffin never misses a chance to bash Urban Meyer. ↵↵
↵Heisman Watch: The three leading straw polls are in, and it looks like Colt McCoy's award to lose. He is 1st in both the HeismanPundit.com and Scripps-Howard polls, and 2nd in the USA Today poll (which is led by Tim Tebow). Tebow is 2nd in the SH poll and 4th in the HP poll. But Tebow's selection as a finalist -- for an unprecedented third time -- seems assured. ↵↵
↵By the way, you should read this fascinating take-down of McCoy's bona fides. It won't matter: Heisman voters love to give the award for "lifetime achievement," particularly to the QB of an unbeaten "name-brand" team, even if that team plays against terrible defenses, every week. ↵↵
↵BCS Mess: So have you been following this debacle of the BCS hiring a PR firm to manage its image? They launched a Twitter feed (fail). They launched a Web site dedicated to trashing a playoff (ugh). But the Daily Beast's Bryan Curtis actually talked with BCS spin-meister Ari Fleischer. Nope, bashing a playoff still doesn't resonate. ↵↵
↵Notre Dame Coaching Search: Is Brian Kelly the guy? That's what a site called "Irish Central" says. Hmm: I think Brian Kelly should be the next coach at Notre Dame, but I'm going to wait for a little bit more confirmation. Jack Swarbrick doesn't seem ready to name a coach yet, either. ↵↵
↵NFL Public Service Announcement: Don't forget to set your fantasy roster, particularly if you have any Jets or Bills starters. Although if you have any Jets or Bills starters, you probably aren't in the playoff hunt in your league anyway. ↵↵
↵As for the Jets-Bills game itself? Meh. Neither team is going to make the playoffs, and the most interesting thing about the game is the way fans in Buffalo are screwed over by the Bills relocating a precious home game to Toronto. ↵↵
↵I suppose it's worth tuning in to see if Mark Sanchez takes advantage of Joe Girardi's sliding tutorial -- and Ryan Fitzpatrick, a favorite of mine since his days at Harvard, is always worth watching. Pick: Toronto Bills ↵↵
↵Can we go back to Drew Brees on Monday night for a sec? I love a good superlative. How does "single-greatest regular-season performance by a quarterback ever" sound? CHFF (of course) has the argument why. ↵↵
↵GM Carousel: Is Mike Holmgren headed back to Seattle to run the team? With the GM out today, could it happen this week? (Certainly this month, if it's going to happen at all.) ↵↵
↵Concussion Watch: The NFL has made more progress on handling concussions in the last four months (perhaps last four weeks) than they have in the previous 40+ years of the Super Bowl era combined. That doesn't mean they have gone nearly far enough, but it's a start. Let's hope the NFL doesn't think that its latest policy change related to concussions is an ending. ↵↵
↵CBB Mania: Maybe, just maybe, Wisconsin should be ranked in the Top 25. Hmm ... ya think?!?! Either that, or -- as usual -- Duke is absurdly overrated. Just file this one away until March, so you can justify ousting Duke by the Sweet 16. ↵↵
↵Meanwhile: The Big Ten ended a 10-year drought to the ACC in their "Challenge," which the Big Ten had never won ... until last night. (Thanks, Clemson!) The Nets could learn something from that kind of persistence. ↵↵
↵MLB Hot Stove: Would you like to see the LDS expanded to 7 games? What if it meant reducing the regular season, say, by 4 games? ... The White Sox insist they aren't shopping Bobby Jenks ... Intriguing: Who wants Rick Ankiel? (Hmm: The Pirates?) ↵↵
↵The Last Word: "It's a private thing of course. But when you are the guy he is, the world's best athlete, you should think more before you do stuff." -- More from Jesper Parnevik. Ouch. ↵↵

News: Dr. Dre On Eminem's "Relapse" LP, "It's Hardcore Dark Comedy"
Friday, May 22, 2009 5:10PM
Dr. Dre has weighed in on the overall quality of Eminem's Relapse album and hinted at the rapper's obsessive work ethic.
In addition to the album, Doc also spoke on the young fans' anticipation for the return of Slim Shady.
"It's hardcore, it's dark comedy," Dre said in an interview about Relapse. "I talked to my son about [Em's return] and he was like 'The kids want to him act a fool. We want to hear him be crazy, we want to hear him be Slim Shady and nothing else.'...Once he makes a painting, once he lays a lyric down, it's impossible to get him to change it. If there's a couple of lines he says on a record that's not relevant today, it's 'No, that was that painting. That was for that moment.'" (New York Times)
Em's official deejay The Alchemist recently spoke on the likelihood of Relapse becoming an instant classic.
"I just got back from Detroit, was with Em for like three or four days working," Al explained in an interview. "Got a chance to listen to the whole album and man, I love my album and it's coming out in mid-June, when he played his album I wanted to throw mine away, straight up... Like when he was playing me the album, like, I didn't wanna say it 'cause I was like thinking of his whole body of work and I was like, 'This might be some of his best body of work,' in my opinion. It's 16 Dr. Dre beats, it's like Em kinda decided, I'm assuming, when was the last time you heard a full production of Dr. Dre's music through and through, minus one joint, Em did one joint. The attention Dre put on those beats is the equivalent to the attention Em put on to the writing." (The Maguire)
Known for being compared to Em due to similar flows and racial backgrounds, Asher Roth also spoke on the project's dark side.
"I've heard the Relapse album and, speaking honestly, it's very aggressive and dark and it's...it's not easy-listening," he explained in an interview. "But when you get down to it, it's a grower, because you sit here and you're witnessing somebody who's putting so much of himself out there, and it's just like, 'Whoa.' You feel the depression and you feel how upset and how crazy these last few years and the whole ride has been for him. Like I said, for somebody to keep their cool, as stressful as the everyday world is, and then try to take on the responsibilities of being a public figure, and having all the hardships he's had to deal with and to have him still come out the beautiful human being he is, there's nothing else to say but 'Bravo.' (MTV)
While an official count will not be ready until next week, one-day estimates have Marshall Mathers' fifth solo project debuting atop the charts.
He may be a homophobic, pill-popping, celeb-dissing misogynist, but there are at least 600-650k others who can relate to Eminem. That's the number of people we estimate will pick up the Detroit hip-hop bad boy's Relapse, his first album for Shady/Aftermath/Interscope in almost five years, based on reports from retailers across this great nation of ours who haven't yet hung up a 'For Lease' sign. (Hits Daily Double)
Be sure to check Sales Wrap next week to see how Relapse performs on the charts.

I was thinking about writing this article when I read an outstanding piece by Field Gulls writer Mike Chan. http://www.fieldgulls.com/football-breakdowns/2013/5/13/4320540/defining-the-seahawks-defense-an-introduction
It got me thinking that we could be well set up for a 4-3 defense in the mould of the Seattle Seahawks. Now if you read my article and feel it is totally ridiculous and has flaws please point them out to me in the comments. The Chargers seem to have most of the pieces for a 4-3 defense in place already. The injury to Melvin Ingram is horrible but the visit of Dwight Freeney if signed will help to ease the pain. Especially if we were to move to a 4-3 were he excelled for years. I'm now going to go through the 4-3 positions and compare how Chargers would fit into these positions.
The 1 technique Nose guard: This position requires a thickly-built Nose Tackle type of player. He will be double teamed and in many ways is similar to the Nose Tackle position in the 3-4. Cam Thomas would be the starter at this position and would offer good pass rush from this position as well as decent run defense. With the addition of the undrafted Jerideau and Geathers I think we would have some depth at this position. Jerideau especially would be a nice fit at this position.
3 technique Tackle: This is a position where you want your best interior pass rusher. He needs to be a strong player who is agile enough to beat guards one-on-one. I feel like Corey Liuget would be an outstanding fit for this position. He is basically the prototype player for here. Liuget would offer very good pass rush from this position and he has good ability to stop the run. Personally I feel he would excel at this position even better than he does at the 3-4 DE spot.
5 technique Left Defensive end: Here you want a player who is good against the run and will be able to hold up when he is ran on. As most teams run to the right he will be under great pressure. We could play two options here in Kendall Reyes and Jarret Johnson. Reyes would probably need to lose a little weight. Although Reyes is perceived as slightly weak against the run he would not be under as much pressure here as at 3-4 DE. This person doesn't need to be a great pass rusher but Reyes would offer quite a lot of that from here. Johnson would need to gain at least 10 pounds but his strength is definitely against the run and I feel he could slot in here.
LEO Right defensive end: This is were Melvin Ingram would have played but unfortunately his torn ACL means he cant play. The addition of Dwight Freeney greatly helps here. He would be the teams best pass rusher and needs to focus on rushing the QB all day. Freeney has 107.5 career sacks. Despite a down year last year Freeney could provide immediate help. In 2012 he had to play the OLB spot which didn't suit him. His last full year at DE he had 10.5 sacks. Freeney would greatly help our pass rush and along with the rest of the D-Line we would have a good pass rush this year compared to what we will have with a 3-4.
Will Linebacker spot: At the Will spot we could play our recent draft addition Manti Te'o. Manti is protected from blocks in this scheme and has to concentrate on just making his tackles which he is very effective at. this position is the spot that Manti was expected to be played at when he was taken by a 4-3 team. He could excel at this position.
At the Mike spot Donald Butler could be a very good player. He understands the game and would have to play a similar role to what he played last year. This player needs to be good at run support and good at pass coverage. Butler is relatively effective in both these areas. Therefore I think Butler would be a good position. Joan's Mouton could provide depth here.
At the Sam spot we have three options. If Jarret Johnson isn't effective at the 5 technique Defensive End spot then he could be moved here. Or else we could sign Daryl Smith an ex-Jaguar or Nick Barnett an ex-Bill. This player needs to be able to fight through blocks and go man-to-man with TE's on short routes. Therefore I think Barnett would be a best fit at this position as he is good against the run and pass.
Overall I feel like the Chargers are in good position to move to a 4-3. The hurdle that I feel we face is John Pagano at Defensive Co-ordinator. I'm not sure he has ever coached the 4-3 scheme and this could be a severe issue.

Is it bad behavior to add filler words such as "so", "um" in business speak?
Sometimes when I speak with my fellows at work, I start my sentences with "so" or "um". I don't know if this a bad behavior in business speak or not? If so, how can I get rid of those filler words?

Thanks I was not aware of that. So apparently, the only school close to home that he can get into is Florida International. Not Miami (FL), Florida State, Florida, or even South Florida. Correct?
Nice spin! Yeah Marrone doesn't need a 3-star LB, all those 2-star specials are just fine. In early to the Athletic Dept. offices again tomorrow?
N.C. State
Can you read? "he changed his mind after talking with his family about staying closer to home. Florida International is located in Miami, about 300 miles south of Palatka." Marrone lost him. Not to Miami or Florida State, but Florida International. Sad state of affairs right now in this sinking ship of a program.
He had an offer and then opened his recruiting back up. Nice try though. Early morning at the SU Athletic Dept. offices today, eh?
Darius Parson also jumped this sinking ship. Last one out turn off the lights.
Pathetic, isn't it? Nationally unranked QB whose only other offer was from Central Florida, whose coach George O'Leary coached Tim Green at Liverpool HS and then started his coaching career at Syracuse. Marrone ran the offense with Drew Brees at QB, who end up winning the Super Bowl, and hasn't landed a single quality QB recruit since becoming coach. Landing one of his buddy's son isn't quality either.
The Bud and Brent Show on hiatus? Please?
Brent Axe is the type of guy who jacks up his khaki pants up to his belly button, caring less that his white ankle socks under his penny loafers are exposed.
Great photo of Arthur Jones, for the 50th time. P-S must not have any other photos on him on file?
How about an example from within the past twenty tears??
Just one, and over twenty years ago??
Are those schools stealing recruits away from each other? Or are they stealing them away from Portland State and New Mexico State? Here's a hint, most JUCO guys are either 3 star or "NR".
Wrong. Cuse fan bleeding Orange. I want to see the program get better, and I'm not going to sit here and claim Marrone is "cleaning up" in recruiting everytime he steals a 2 or 3 star recruit away from Eastern Michigan, Akron, etc.
Really? This is what SU has always done, even when they were good? They have always competed with power programs like New Mexico, Eastern Michigan, and Portland State for recruits?
Doug Marrone is LAZY.
lefty -
The truth hurts, eh? Deal with it.
"He was about to be offered by Pac-12 members Colorado and Washington, Brown said."
Yeah, he was just "about to be offered" if the players Colorado and Washington wanted chose another school.
Hey, at least we know Marrone can out-recruit all those storied programs like Eastern Michigan and Portland State.
Exactly. Well said. These two hack jobs schmucks are instigating.
"Jones had offers from schools such as New Mexico, Eastern Michigan and Portland State."
Enough said.
Oh - and for those pointing out he's a "three star prospect" - three stars is the standard for most JUCO players being recruited, unless they are "NR" which means they likely received offers from programs more lowly than the three mentioned above.

Rocky Top roundup
Here's some tidbits floating around the Rocky Top Brigade.
Economic optimism.
Big Orange Michael has some good family news.
Why the draft issue "won't go away."
Barry and family are back from Walt Disney World.
The banned book.
The Bush administration and a light blub joke.
"Kerry supporter steals own yard sign" and other parodies over here.
The item about the stolen yard sign caught my attention, since our Kerry sign disappeared last night.
Although I am not above transgression (I confess to having removed the tag from a sofa pillow once), neither I nor anyone in my family would never think of stealing a yard sign. Seriously.
The reason is that, since we feel it incumbent on us to support the principles represented by American democracy, we cannot bring ourselves to trespass on someone's land, steal his personal property, attempt to stifle his Constitutional right of dissent, make a mess of the shrubbery, and perhaps get myself hurt.
If someone should do so and gets injured, don't be surprised if he sues the homeowner. No Republican lawyer will touch his case. However, John Edwards, in the spirit of due process, might agree to represent him (pro bono, I would expect).

1196 Tasting Notes
Somehow I didn't even realize this was a green tea until I was making it. I had to make a quick temperature switch on the kettle! Like apparently I never even looked at it and assumed it was a black tea.
The jasmine overtakes everything else in here, and not in a good way. When it's hot, it does not smell good at all. Cold, it smells like just your usual jasmine green which is not really what I expected from something that should have white wine grape notes too.
But jasmine just overpowers everything about it and it wasn't even a good type of jasmine tea. I couldn't finish it. I may try having it iced, maybe try steeping for a minute instead too, but it isn't working for me hot!
Thanks Azzrian for the sample!
Every time I opened my travel mug yesterday it was like whooooosh PEAR. So pear indeed, it's hard to find a tasty pear tea.
This one isn't bad, it just has a lot of floral notes to it. Perfect? Better than the only other pear tea I've had for sure. Since I have actually been in the mood for something floral I didn't really mind it, but I can imagine it's kind of offputting if that's not your thing.
I've only got half an ounce of this so I might try experimenting with it a little but I don't think I'd get more.
is this one kind of like perfect pear by davids? I loved that one (when they broke up their summer gift sets I got myself about seven 25g bags) … since that was kind of dumb and I couldn't drink them fast enough I began to give them away in tea swaps and I am now down to one or two. I don't see them bringing this one back this year… it was quite popular but there are heavier hitters that people freak out for every year (tropicalia and luscious watermelon) so I've started to look for a replacement!
Nope, not really like the DT version. Black base, for starters, and I think the pear flavour in DT's was more authentic and less floral.
Ok bit of backlogging time. So maybe I will stop thinking about going to grad school OH GOD WHY I JUST WANT TO NOT GO TO SCHOOL BUT I SHOULD—err. (not even going to get into the part where I don't even know which of my two options I'd go with. NOT both again.)
I had this on Sunday night and it was a fantastic tea dessert. I've not tried lime chiffon yet, but I had just had lemon chiffon a week prior to this and didn't really think it tasted like a blend of both. I don't really pick up on the cream strongly like I do in this one.
This has both lemon and lime for sure, like I can actually taste each one distinctly…unlike a lot of other things touted as lemon-lime where it's just some vague citrus flavor.
This is definitely pretty sweet by itself too, I think it'd make a pretty interesting latte, maybe an iced one would be in order too.
Oh what are the grad school options? What is your major in? School is way better than working. At least when your my age it seems as such. My daughter is just getting set up for her first year of college in the Fall. I so wish I could go!
I'd probably stay at Georgia State, and options are political science or economics. I'd really only do it full time if I knew I could get an assistanceship because I'm not paying out of state tuition ever again. Otherwise I'd work for at least a year and then go part time so I can be in state FINALLY.
What are your chances of getting an assistantship? That is one of the biggest differences between the humanities & the sciences- in the sciences, most of the time they do not even accept you into the program unless they have an assistantship for you.
I would love to go back to school, and looked at GA State (originally from GA), but the fact that I would have to pay for it is a real deterrent.
I have no idea, I only really looked at it for the political science dept. It doesn't really say how many there are, just that the majority are research assistant and not teaching assistant, but they also are given so many waivers per semester for out-of-state students to be changed to in-state so that's an option too.
I also just found the econ grad dept has a fall semester in Switzerland so I am now leaning back towards econ but not immediately after finishing this fall for sure because I want to be able to do that.
That sounds like some tough decisions! I guess it sorta depends what you want to do, but from what I've heard economists are highly in demand, compared to a lot of the other "arts" disciplines. Universities have to pay Econ profs more than other profs, otherwise they'd just get jobs outside of academia. :P
Good luck getting assistantships though! I'm not too sure how it works up here in Canada, but so far both offers my bf have had came with TA'ships so his tuition is more than paid for. #phew
Most science projects here are funded, which covers tuition, but leaves not very much to live on. Tuition for a year of grad school almost anywhere in ON, for domestic students, is over $8000. Stipends are between about $16500-$18500. It. Sucks.
Good luck making your decision, momo! It's definitely a tough one. I don't know how arts graduate programs work… I'd like to think it's less stressful than what I"m doing now, haha.
Yeah after today's macroeconomics exam I am wondering why I ever thought it'd be a good idea. The one nice thing is in the first place I'll have two degrees and if that doesn't help me do what I want then I guess I can, but I think overall I'd really like polisci better…it goes into statistics more and I don't think I could handle the math in economics. It's bad enough to be getting a BA in it and having to struggle through these models that probably use calculus and I have no idea what I am doing.
I felt like having iced tea today. Iced tea! It was 65 when I had it, so it was worthwhile. I had the windows open, and Sebastian communicated with a sparrow.
This is super fruity, and I love that they used green rooibos so that it's the perfect iced tea. Papaya is the strongest fruit flavor I can taste.
I will definitely be cold brewing this one once it stays warm. I love fruity iced teas and I've been missing green rooibos. Nothing beats it as an iced tea for me.
he's a parakeet, here's my favorite picture of him: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/72284_4326538490660_922155857_n.jpg
Cute! I have a kitty named Sebastian, though my only photos of him online are on facebook. If this doesn't work and you actually want to see a picture, I can try something else but here it is (I'm pretty sure my facebook is open to the public). http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200273087532935&set=pb.1325757342.-2207520000.1361804300&type=3&theater
He's the black one.
Wow, heavy tisane.
For reference, the 25g of Forever Nuts bag I got is as full as the 50g bag of Banana Nut Bread. So, this better not be too delicious as it can't make that many cups.
I had an amazing smoothie for lunch that was PURELY fruit. It was amazing. I said that. Anyway all I want right now for some reason is fruit and I figured this might be a good thing to try for something different, since I loaded my smoothie with berries.
It's pretty good, although I don't get fully reminded of bread, it does have the right flavors.
I wish I saw the note to use a t-sac, oh man pulling the infuser out…nasty.
Back in December, the Yelp elite event of the month was dinner at a pop-up restaurant followed by Totem. Cirque du Soleil, FOR FREE. I was all over that as I've never seen a Cirque show. It was Totem! So when Amy oh offered me this in a swap I had to have it.
This tea is nothing like Totem in my opinion. Then again I have no idea what the point of Totem was other than to make me feel inferior and useless as I will never ever be able to flip bowls on gigantic unicycles or roller skate around in a 1.5 meter wide platform.
Hot, this is not so great. It really has no flavor to it other than that it's tart. I let it cool off and it was WAY better to have iced. It was still tart but it actually had flavors to it, mostly the papaya at this point.
I really am not a fan of green/mate blends and I'm glad this actually worked out with Capital Teas' instructions.
Wow I didn't taste caramel at all in here, just vanilla. Weird. To me it was very much like genmaicha ice cream in tea form! Actually I know this company here has made genmaicha ice cream in the past…must inquire when they will do so again.
So I'm not sure what purpose the black tea in here serves, I decided to steep it like a green and sencha was definitely the predominant flavor despite how the dry leaf looked. This tea was both sweet and savory at the same time, but it's not quite my favorite combination for that. I feel like I missed out on something by not tasting any caramel at all.
I don't drink whiskey really at all. I think the closest I ever got was one time with car friends, I had some with Dr. Pepper, and I guess I liked it. After the whole thing was over, some weird dude promised me Jack Daniels the next meet up…I was like, "bro, I live in Tennessee (at the time I did), no." I think at that point it was just like wooo drinks…I probably hate whiskey.
So I thought though that the flavor would be pretty cool with white tea. And the worst thing that happens, this doesn't taste like bourbon at all or anything, and it's just a peach tea.
And that's really what I get. Peach. I like the idea of a flash steep with this one rather than the four min I believe I went with (I have since left my notebook, which I filled over 6 months with 450+ tasting notes!). That might make it a bit more interesting. There were flashes of whiskey but not enough to make it worth the name.
An expensive experiment, but hey, it's a discontinued peach tea with stevia that I can drink, unlike Southern Belle.
For some reason I was able to keep myself from opening this up until a few days ago. I finally just really needed to try it.
I have been just really wanting banana flavored teas for some reason. Did I mention I'm not a big fan of actual bananas? I don't get it.
So this definitely has banana. And on some sips, it tastes very strange, like it just doesn't work to have banana, cheesecake, and genmaicha all together. But then the very next sip tastes marvelous.
It might be even better iced with just a touch of sweetened condensed milk, I think. I will have to try that. I'm not sure if it was the tea hot or the genmaicha that just makes it seem odd at times, but overall it's a pretty awesome blend.
Time to finally get some backlogging going. This is the first EG cream I've ever had! I assume the addition of a vanilla/cream flavor is what separates the cream from the usual. I think 4 min is a bit of overkill on this tea. I definitely could taste bergamot in here, but vanilla, not so much. It was probably borderline bitter, but tolerable for at least half the cup…I ended up making dinner in the midst of drinking it and honestly didn't miss it.
Next time, shorter steep.
Thanks, Cavocorax!
For earl greys, I usually hover around the 2 1/2 minute mark (I go a little light on it, though). I almost never follow the recommended steep times. Hope you get better results next time!

A Middle Tennessee woman was surprised to learn that her picture has been plastered on billboards and social media sites to advertise an upcoming home show in Murfreesboro.
The eye-catching image features Tamelyn Feinstein wearing a bathrobe with large rollers in her hair and holding a hammer.
Not only is the image on billboards along the side of the interstate, it also graced the Murfreesboro Homes Show's Facebook page and Twitter account.
"My face is on a billboard. At that point I was just floored," Feinstein said. "I took the photo. It is a self portrait."
Feinstein added that she was unaware her photo, which was taken several years ago as part of a photo challenge, was being used in the advertisement until one of her friends alerted her.
"It was funny. It was meant to be funny in the context of my friends in that group, but not really in the context of my public persona on a billboard," she said.
A member of the marketing team who put the ad together has reached out to Feinstein in a letter saying, "We get all of our photos from stock Web sites and I am terribly sorry that you have experienced this issue."
The company also said it is actively trying to track down proof the image was purchased.
"I have never licensed that photo to any Web site or stock Web site," Feinstein said.
She added that she has sought legal counsel on the matter, but is hopeful it can be resolved without a court fight.
The image has since been removed from the home show's social media sites.
News 2 reached out to the company for an explanation, but they have yet to respond to the request.

What is The Importance of Education?
By Rosaline, 22nd May 2012 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed | Short URL http://nut.bz/435wpu6m/
Posted in WikinutFamilyEducation
Education is the best investment in today's world that cannot be stolen. Once you educate an individual you give them the whole world.
Get Educated.
Education is like a master key that can open several doors and if you only have one thing to give to your child as an inheritance ensure that he or she gets a good education.
Education can be described as transferring of knowledge, skills, customs and values from one generation to another.
There is this family in my neighborhood that had seven children and they were not very well off financially and it seemed such a big burden for the father to pay school fees for all the children and this particular child stood out because she was so intelligent and the father had to ask an older sibling to repeat a class so that he could afford to pay exam fees for the intelligent child and it looked so unfair at the time but today she is a well recognized doctor in my country.
Just being able to write your name or read the street name all comes down to having been instructed by someone.
The world keeps changing and we all need to keep up with it and the cutting edge technology that changes day in and day out.
Living in a developing country has its challenges and education is very important in keeping up with what is happening around the world especially in the ICT field.
As humans we are born with an empty brain that has so much potential and what we expose it to is what it becomes. Give your child every possible opportunity to learn and he or she can be a great individual.
Everyday is an opportunity to be educated and no one is too old to learn and that is why adult education has become available in most areas.
So in short, education sharpens our brains and opens our eyes to all that we are able to achieve and make our everyday life better than it was in the yester years.
It is never too late to be educated, take a step today and find out which avenue is open for you and get an education.

Pygeum is also purported to act as a natural aphrodisiac, enhance sexual performance, and protect against prostate cancer.
Benefits of Pygeum
Pygeum may moderately improve urinary symptoms associated with BPH, a condition marked by enlargement of the prostate gland. Several studies show that pygeum can significantly reduce urinary frequency (the number of times patients need to wake up at night to urinate) and pain with urination in men who suffer from mild-to-moderate BPH symptoms. However, pygeum does not appear to reverse the process of BPH.
Pygeum has not been found to be useful in the treatment or prevention of any other health condition. Although research conducted on animals and in test-tube studies suggests that pygeum may also help reduce the risk of prostate cancer, there is a general lack of scientific support for pygeum's effectiveness in prostate cancer prevention.
Is Pygeum Safe?
Pygeum is generally considered safe. However, some users may experience stomach problems (such as diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, and nausea). Additionally, pygeum should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How to Use Pygeum
If you're considering the use of pygeum in the treatment or prevention of any health condition, make sure to consult your physician before starting your supplement regimen. It's especially important to talk to your doctor if you have a medical condition or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements.
Pygeum is available as a dietary supplement and is also sometimes taken in tea form.
It should be noted that the African plum tree has become endangered due to demand for pygeum extract.

Driving a guy crazy?
If you liked a girl at one point, how long would it take to stop liking her? What could the girl do to make you go crazy for her?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I have just dealt with this problem recently, and I have found out the answer! you must be around him for awhile then, for no reason leave, just kind of avoid him. Show that you have a life, don't always pick up the phone when he calls and take awhile to call him back. Then, just when he's about to lose interest, (let's say 2 weeks) then be around again. It'll drive him crazy, because you know that "time makes the heart grow fonder". Then, compliment him all the time, build his ego up. Suggest things you want to do around him, such things like "I want to go see this movie, but I don't want to go by myself" hint around that you want to do stuff and if he likes you he might go with you. Do unexpected things, like dying your hair, changing up your look, style, this will excite him (not in a sexual way) and he will associate being excited with you.
Yeah, but eventually, you'll be around and when you are and when you suggest stuff, he'll jump on the oppurtunity to spend more time with you. But, emotional guys are a little harder to deal with because this bothers them quicker and more so I would say make the time shorter, and also since he's emotional try opening up to your feelings around him-it'll do more for him then it would a non-emotional guy.
Its always fun to play with new looks but I agree. Get some other input b4 you do it. As for playing a more subtle hard to get? Maybe not a good idea. Especially if he tends to be a tad moody and emotional. He might feel like you are playing games with him and it could backfire. If you wanna playa little cat and mouse just make sure that you guys have been hanging out for a while and he KNOWS that you like him, Otherwise, like I said, he could get confused and thing you're playing games with him.
Good point
- Show Older Hide Older
What Guys Said 2
I would say at least a few months. Why would you ever want to torture somebody like this?
If you really like him then you need to respect him and his feelings. If he doesn't want to get in a relationship with you because of person stuff then let it go. In the mean time you two can hang out and get to know each other. Be there for him if he needs a friend. Getting close in that way will make it easier for him to see himself being with you in other ways when he's ready.
Well he likes me and I like him but he's said he just can't really handle a relationship right now because he's going through a lot of personal stuff right now. I don't want our relationship to get too platonic in the meantime, that's all. I would never intentionally hurt him though.
Men will always want you if they want you once. As to go crazy I assume you mean sex? Try talking sexy on the phone. That works for me. Tell him how much you want him and think about him. The other side of it is either he is a dominant or submissive type of personality. If you know then you are in the drivers seat... Play to it. I don't mean tie me up tie me down stuff... I mean find out if he wants you to jump on him or if he wants to jump on you. If he is a good boy he may want a bad girl or just the opposite. Play to that and some great sex should happen ;)
What Girls Said 1
Everyone is different. Sometimes it'll take a guy a month to get over someone and somtimes it'll take a year. It all depnds. And as far as making a guy go crazy for you then you need to do a couple things. Be nice, fun, outgoing, confident, and take an interest in some of the things he likes.
Perfect answer.

During the kickoff match for Royal Rumble 2014, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn shocked the wrestling world when they were able to defeat Cody Rhodes and Goldust to become the new WWE tag team champions. Many were under the impression that their return was a temporary one.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust will be defending the WWE tag championships against Road Dogg and Billy Gunn before the Royal Rumble 2014 starts. The kickoff match was announced via the website, and there should be a mention of it on television tonight during Monday Night Raw.
Rob Terry has benefited from the working relationship between TNA and Wrestle-1. He recently finished up a tour o Japan, where he worked a couple of matches for the new promotion. He also helped the Great Muta and Kaz Hayashi judge new talents trying out for the company.
With a million dollar body, many within the wrestling industry believe that Rob Terry can eventually become a star, but he needs more experience first. Terry is wisely taking that advice by working plenty of matches for OVW, the indies and even Japan.
Rob Terry will also be wrestling at the Wrestle-1 show, where AJ Styles will defend the TNA title, in Japan in a few days.

The Virginia Association for Trade and Industrial Education recently honored two educators from Chantilly Academy, which is now known as the New Commonwealth Governor's STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Academy at .
The association named Doug Wright, academy administrator, as Outstanding Career and Technical Educator for outstanding service to the field of trade and industrial education.
Chris Wyckoff, who teaches construction technology at the academy, was named the Outstanding New Career and Technical Teacher.
Wright has advanced STEM, along with career and technical education, by pursuing a partnership with ProFinishes Plus that teaches students green technology in the Automotive Collision Services program. Students are learning waterborne automotive paint technology that, in the coming years, may be mandated by both federal and state governments to ease the impact on the environment. ProFinishes Plus is working to update the shop with new equipment so that students can learn the new technology in class.
Wright also led the academy's Automotive Technology program to achieve certification by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation via curricular and workshop enhancements. He has made major improvements to classrooms, the salon workshop for Cosmetology students, and the kitchen and classroom area for Culinary Arts students, according to a news release from FCPS.
In addition to serving as administrator of the New Commonwealth Governor's STEM Academy, Wright served as an assistant principal at both and Chantilly High Schools. Prior to that, he was a technology education teacher at Rocky Run Middle, Herndon Intermediate (now Middle), and Madison High Schools.
Wyckoff, who is also the wrestling coach at Chantilly High, serves as the carpentry instructor at the academy and works with students from 13 different Fairfax County high schools at Chantilly.

Oil Exceptionalism … Houston Exceptionalism … Texas Exceptionalism … U.S. Exceptionalism: Private Oil and Gas for the Social Good (Joe Pratt's soulful message to the world)
"The social usefulness of well-defined property rights, free exchange, and the system of relative money prices . . . has perhaps been demonstrated most convincingly by the catastrophic failure in the twentieth century of those societies that tried to function without them."
- Paul Heyne, "Efficiency," in David Henderson, ed., The Fortune Encyclopedia of Economics (New York: Warner Books, Inc., 1993), p. 11.
"The wildcatters showed their gratitude to their city through their philanthropy. They were not the only ones who supported good causes in our region, but many of the foundations in Houston had their beginning in the oil and gas industries."
- Joe Pratt, Cullen/NEH Professor in History and Business, University of Houston
George Will invoked the theme of Texas exceptionalism in a recent column pitching the state's governor Rick Perry for the Republican presidential nomination. Whether or not one thinks Perry is the real thing (judging from his view on (mandated) wind power and tout of (government-dependent) electric vehicles, buyer beware), the point is that Texas has done relatively well because of its marked reliance on private property, voluntary exchange, and low taxation.
Relatively speaking, Texas is a free market state, and certainly Houston (the economic 'capital' of Texas) is a free market city. And Houston, despite its sweaty summer heat and humidity, is ranked a top world city–and the city with the lowest cost of living. And did anyone mention that Houston has the world's top medical center and is a world-class philanthropic mecca?
Houston, not coincidentally, is the city that private oil and gas has done much to build. The nation's oil capital began with the Spindletop gusher in 1901 in nearby Beaumont. Houston also became the natural gas capital when interstate gas pipelines were built in the middle decades of the 20th century (a story told in my forthcoming book, Edison to Enron: Energy Markets and Political Strategies).
Private oil and gas has accrued to the public good in a way that socialized oil and gas throughout the world has not. Guillermo Yeatts has stressed the general benefits of private mineral ownership, as have other posts at MasterResource.
In a different way, Joe Pratt touched upon the spirit of free enterprise in a piece fronting the most recent issue of Houston History magazine (subscribe here). It is reprinted with permission.

Promise for Uganda: Prosperity Through Oil & Gas Development
[The greatest opportunity for wealth creation in many poor countries is oil and gas development. In particular, subsoil privatization can incite resourceship and democratize wealth as explained by Guillermo "Billy" Yeatts in Subsoil Privatization for Energy Sustainability. The following post by Cyril Boynes, Jr. co-chair of the Congress of Racial Equality Uganda, contributes to this discussion.]
I am of a Christian background. However, one of my favorite people was Jewish, and another is Muslim.
The Jewish man was business professor and author Julian Simon. He taught that people are the world's most valuable resource, and the "ultimate resource" is our creative intellect.
The Muslim is Bangladeshi banker and economist Muhammad Yunus. He says "poor people are like bonsai trees," planted in a little pot. "There is nothing wrong with their seeds. It's just that society never gave them an adequate soil base to grow."
"Once the poor can unleash their energy and creativity," Dr. Yunus continues, "poverty will disappear very quickly. The poor themselves can create a poverty-free world. All we have to do is free them from the chains that governments have put around them."
We need freedom, and opportunities to get an education and open businesses. We need a government and legal system that protects our property rights and contracts, regulates dangerous pollution and activities, and protects us from criminals and unscrupulous business people, but without having so many rules that people and businesses cannot function properly.
But even if we have all these things, we still cannot have opportunity, health and prosperity unless we also have energy. Maybe most of all we need enough affordable, reliable electricity to power lights, ovens, refrigerators, computers, machinery, fans and air conditioners, office and hospital equipment, mobile phone chargers and other modern devices.
These technologies let us work past sundown, create good jobs, make products that people need, and provide clean water, surgical centers and countless other benefits.
That's why Mr. Roy Innis, chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality in America, calls energy the "master resource." He says our ingenuity is the ultimate, most important resource, because it lets us design, build and operate so many things.
However, without energy that families and businesses can afford, energy that is there every time we need it, even the most modern, creative, educated, technologically advanced country cannot function properly. People in poor countries are even more constricted, like bonsai plants in little pots.
Right here in Uganda, we have many educated, energetic, creative, hard working people. Our legal system lets us open businesses and do many other things. But outside of Kampala and other growing municipalities like Ishaka, Jinja and Gulu, most families, villages and businesses still don't have electricity – and even in these municipalities frequent power outages create problems. Almost 30 million Ugandans never have electricity or get it only a few hours a week. [Read more →]

Subsoil Privatization for Energy Sustainability (Is Middle Eastern unrest the first step?)
[This post by Guillermo "Billy" Yeatts (see profile at the end of the post) originally appeared at MasterResource on April 30, 2010. It is reprinted in response to the move of the Middle East toward more open, democratic, and modern societies. Can private ownership of oil and gas assets be far beyond?]
The history of oil and gas production in Latin America has been characterized by a continuing tug of war between the state as owner of the subsurface (Spanish colonial tradition) and private producers in pursuit of profits. Private participation in the industry has been limited to brief periods and restricted to specific phases of oil and gas production.
The typical pattern is that foreign oil and gas companies are allowed into a country to locate and initiate production. Once oil is flowing, governments nationalize the companies' facilities – with or without compensation – and hand them over to government-owned and operated monopolies.
Whether the oil or gas is produced by private corporations or by a government monopoly, it is almost always the government that receives most of the profits. All too often, the money is used to keep the heads of state in power.
In the United States, by contrast, individuals own and control much of the nation's subsurface rights to energy and other minerals. The results are starkly different. While the oil and gas industry in the United States expanded quickly, bringing prosperity to many areas that were once underdeveloped or deserted, oil revenues in other countries have propped up corrupt governments with little or no benefits to the general welfare.
State ownership of the subsurface removes incentives for risk-taking, investment, and technological innovation. Farmers and ranchers are pitted against oil development. In Latin America, the prospect of an oil or gas discovery is a farmer's worst nightmare. They reap no financial benefit from the discovery, but they do suffer land damage and the disruption to their lives from drilling and production operations. Consequently, a landowner's incentive is to hide any mineral wealth his property might have and to fight any attempt to exploit such wealth. [Read more →]

DENISON, TX -- City officials have declared an old school building that closed decades ago is now unsafe and ready to tear down.
Building inspectors say pieces are crumbling from the old Central Ward School, and could hurt or kill someone.
It is estimated it would cost the city about $200,000 to demolish the school at 715 West Sears Street, just off West Morton Street.
The school closed back in 1979 and is now in the hands of a private owner. Council members will discuss the issue on Monday evening at 6 p.m. at City Hall.

As the NFL's leading offense prepares to take the field against the league's second-worst defense in Jacksonville, the injury reports for the Patriots and Jaguars have surfaced before their Week 16 matchup.
For the Patriots, tight end Rob Gronkowski will miss yet another game with his forearm injury. Joining him will be team's second-leading tackler, linebacker Brandon Spikes, due to knee and ankle injuries. Also sitting out will be cornerback Alfonzo Dennard, fullback James Develin, defensive end Jake Bequette, defensive lineman Ron Brace and offensive lineman Markus Zusevics.
For the Jaguars, the only offensive piece that seems to work these days, running back Maurice Jones-Drew, will be out with a foot injury. Joining him on the inactive list are fellow running back Rashad Jennings, cornerback Antwaun Molden, linebacker Brandon Marshall, offensive lineman Eben Britton, defensive end Austen Lane and running back Jonathan Grimes.
The Patriots and Jaguars are set to kick off at 1 p.m. EST in EverBank Field.

I can't believe D'Antoni got fired from the Knicks. That was a shocker to me since I thought he should have been given the chance to succeed with his new roster. Alas it's always the superstars that get their way in the NBA. Thanks to Melo, the coach that gave birth to Linsanity is now kaput and it probably won't be too long before Jeremy slides back into oblivion. D'Antoni was the only one that ever trusted him to perform and make mistakes.
In the business world, I'd say he was a great manager because he was able to get a group of underachievers to perform above their individual capabilities. But unfortunately for him, he could not get his superstar player to buy into his system. It reminds me of one of my former coworkers who is a gifted engineer but was an emotional ticking time bomb. He was passionate to a fault. When he was motivated he did excellent work but he also had a poor attitude and did not respect his bosses. When he fell out of favor with management, he made it his duty to take everything and everyone down with him. It was so bad that people walked on egg shells around him since they were afraid he'd go off and create a scene. (Which he eventually did in the confines of the VP's office.)
Management couldn't do anything to get him back to performing the way he was. So they left him alone rather than deal with his attitude and basically froze him out of new projects. Finally he couldn't stand to be at work anymore and quit on his own. What lesson does that teach us? Hire for attitude and train to competency?
The VP of a company that I visited in New York drew me a diagram during my interview. It had 4 corners. The left part of the graph signified attitude and the bottom part signified skill. He said everybody falls into one of these 4 corners. The person on the upper right is a high attitude high, high skill guy and he's the person you want to keep and reward. The person on the lower left is the low attitude, low skill guy and obviously you get rid of that guy. If a person falls in the top left i.e. high attitude and low skill, your job as a manager is to train him and move him to the upper right. But then he asked me, what do you do to the guy on the lower right i.e. low attitude, high skill? How do you get this person to change his attitude? His answer: You don't. You fire him.

Building the Dream is a new reality game show with the biggest prize ever given away on daytime TV – a £500,000 house designed by architect Brady Mallalieu. Here Brady talks to Karen Glaser about being broadcast to the nation
How does the programme work?
Twelve couples live and work alongside each other, building and furnishing their dream home in the chocolate-box village of Witham Friary in Somerset. As the house goes up, the number of couples goes down as those not pulling their weight are voted off by their fellow contestants. The series culminates in a head-to-head between the two remaining couples as the viewers vote to decide which of them gets the keys to their new dream home. It might sound a bit naff, but it is actually more Grand Designs than Changing Rooms, and it is very well constructed.
How did you land the job?
The production company knew of me from television work I have done for RTE, the BBC of Ireland, and asked if I could put some names forward. They were particularly keen to have a woman architect and I suggested people such as Sumita Sinha and Sarah Featherstone. Those auditions went ahead, but they came back and said they'd really like me to do it. Apparently, they liked my Irish accent. That said, they were also taken by George Ferguson, who was offered the job before he became president. He turned it down because he was too busy.
Why did you accept it?
Because it is educational. It's important that the public sees an architect who is a woman and it's important they see contemporary architecture full stop. I am very pleased with the scheme, an extension of the historic village pattern established around Witham Friary. Long thin forms are used that are similar to the nearby agricultural buildings, though they are, of course, detailed and constructed in a contemporary way. The building is a timber structure packed with recycled newspaper and wrapped in a combination of timber shingles, stone walls and clay roof tiles.
I have done the whole thing very seriously. We've done a site analysis and had site meetings.
I have done a super 1:25 scale model and they've seen me get the scheme through my insurance, which wasn't at all easy. And most important they see me, the architect, as the head of the
team. I insisted on a traditional contract and every decision comes through me. I am the architect and I am the boss.
The television company, Zeal Television, knows very little about architecture and didn't know who should be in charge, the architect or builder. I am very keen for them to learn about the whole process. Originally, they wanted me to work on a dog-box pattern scheme and I refused. I have also refused attempts to have a second-rate kitchen foisted on me and I have said no to a concrete tile from the programme's roof sponsor. These are my clients and I must give them the best, I say.
Linda Barker is presenting the show. How have you two got on?
She has no option but to get on with me, but I think it's been quite a learning curve for her. She's a trained interior designer, but she's never had to deal with the architect's world of building regulations and planners. And she really likes the design of the house, which obviously helps – that and the fact that she is very professional and confident.
What do you think of the contestants?
Their brick-laying skills have impressed me and I have been pleased by how open they have been to my suggestions. Ranging from Tudor couple Viv and Alan to juggler and tattoo man Leb, they are a colourful group, so it has been surprising how similar their ideas are. They are all, for example, happy with the idea of an octagon-roofed kitchen as the heart of the home and they all want generous rooms. And most important, they have certainly learned that you can be inspired by an existing design without doing pastiche.
What have you learned from the programme?
I haven't learned a lot yet – only that television companies don't know much about architecture.

A Berwyn man has been charged with breaking into his ex-girlfriend's Lower West Side home and stabbing her to death during a domestic dispute Sunday morning.
Joanna Lopez, 26, was stabbed at her home in the 1700 block of West 21st Street about 6:45 a.m., authorities said. She was dead at the scene.
Her ex-boyfriend, 33-year-old Emilio Izguirre, is charged with first-degree murder and home invasion causing injury in connection with her death, police News Affairs said in a release.
The incident appeared to be domestic in nature, police said previously.
An autopsy Monday determined Lopez died of multiple stab wounds and her death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Izguirre, of the 3200 block of Kenilworth Avenue in Berwyn, is expected to appear for a bond hearing Tuesday.

Food Friday – Chili
This was first posted on September 16th 2011 and this weekend seems like the perfect weekend to make a batch.
I am hoping to get everything ready and in the slow cooker early Saturday morning. Then I plan on going snowshoeing knowing a warm bowl of chili waits.
Whenever there is a chill in the air, I think about making chili. It is one of those foods that is best cooked by feel – every batch is a little different. The only constancy in our chili is the beans and never any meat.
Below is a pictorial making of chili

Good weather and incredible cars brought out hundreds of people. There were old cars, new cars, four-wheeled vehicles and two-wheeled vehicles.
Car lovers came for near and far to wander through the displays, take pictures and look on with amazement. They say their fascination with expensive cars is passed down from generation to generation.
"Cars that cost as much as a house, so to speak. You know two to three thousand dollars. I've always been interested in cars. My dad was a car fanatic and he was into them. I just wanted to bring my son out and take a look and see what they had today, hoping to see a Lamborghini," said car enthusiast David McLaurin.
One car buff says he has a passion for Ferraris.
"They are just fast, and expensive and they look good," said car enthusiast Rocky Mitchell.
And you don't have to be a guy to be a car enthusiast.
"I love European engineering. I think it is excellent. I love the stylings of Italian cars. Of course, you've got to live the Rolls Royces and just getting to see cars that you don't usually see around this area. I think it's pretty cool," said car enthusiast, Candace Murphree.
There were even vintage motorcycles, like this 1942 BMW, the model used by the Nazi's in the second World War. Today's show featured 24 Ferraris, but there was much, much more.
"This car show puts together cars that you're just not going to see. You're not going to see them on the road. You're not going to see them anywhere because it's such a diverse piece. You've got the high end Ferraris, you've got the Lotus, the Rolls is a huge deal, a lot of Porsches, Austin Healy, all kinds of interesting cars," added Wade Williams of Ferrari/Maserati of Atlanta.

Chicken Pot Pie
Yummm!!! These look AMAZING!
Those look fantastic!
Oh my gosh, these look SO good! And I just got Rachael Ray ramekins for Christmas, so this is the perfect opportunity to break them in!
These look fabulous! I love chicken pot pie. Where did you find you dishes?
Those look so yummy!!
These look stinkin delicious!
I would be thrilled if you stopped by linky party going on all weekend!
Kim@ Too Much Time On My Hands
These look so yummy!!!
Are the chicken breasts raw? Or cooked in advance?
They are cooked with the potatoes and celery
OK, so they are raw at the beginning. So many recipes start w/cooked chicken breast and I never have extra cooked chicken breast!
Oh, I am sorry. Yes. They are raw in the beginning. I never have extra cooked chicken lying around either!
this has made extra that I will wind up freezing for a second dinner (its just my dh and me) so far I'll be starting the sauce next.
Ok not only did I love it but my dh really did, he's not always fond of this type of meal but was very disappointed when I'd ate the last piece for lunch. LOL I told him I'd had enough to make another dinner and he cheered up….
